Clone Wars' 100th Episode Tribute Video Will Remind You Why Star Wars Is Cool
May The Force Be With You
I've never watched Clone Wars (shhhh don't tell friend of the blog, creator of Her Universe, and voice of Jedi apprentice Ahsoka Tano Ashley Eckstein), but I hear great things about it, and this video, commemorating the series' 100th episode, upholds my suspicions. The episode will air tomorrow morning on Cartoon Network, one of five episodes before the conclusion of this season, after which the show will move to airing on Disney XD.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Returning With A Woosh In The Fall [VIDEO]
May The Force Be With You
That was supposed to be the sound of a lightsaber in case you were wondering. Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars had a pretty action packed fourth season. I won't spoil it for those who've yet to hear the news but the biggest event to happen was the return of a character thought quite dead. Needless to say, this trailer shows us s/he will be back in force for Season 5 along with all our favorites including Ashley Eckstein's Ahsoka Tano! I love pretty much everything about this trailer but I'm especially digging the music they're using. Star Wars: The Clone Wars returns this fall.

Diff, Patch, and Friends
Unfortunately, if too many adjacent lines have been changed, interpretation isn't as immediately obvious; but by knowing that each marked line has been changed in some way, you can figure it out. For instance, in this comparison, where the file 3 contains the damaged contents, and file 4 (identical to file 2 in the previous example) contains the correct contents, three lines in a row are changed, and now each line with a difference is not shown directly above the corrected line:
diff -u 3 4
--- 3 Sun Apr 21 18:57:08 1996
+++ 4 Sun Apr 21 18:56:45 1996
-1,9 +1,9
Ecce Eduardus Ursus scalis nunc tump-tump-tump

possit. Deinde censet alios modos non esse. En,

Winnie ille Pu.
It takes a little more work to find the added mistakes; "nodum" for "modum" and "exitare" for "exstare". Imagine if 50 lines in a row had each had a one-character change, though. This begins to resemble the old job of going through the whole file, character-by-character, looking for changes. All we've done is (potentially) shrink the amount of comparison you have to do.
Fortunately, there are several tools for finding these kinds of differences more easily. GNU Emacs has "word diff" functionality. There is also a GNU "wdiff" program which helps you find these kinds of differences without using Emacs.
Let's look first at GNU Emacs. For this example, files 5 and 6 are exactly the same, respectively, as files 3 and 4 before. I bring up emacs under X (which provides me with colored text), and type:
M-x ediff-files RET 5 RET 6 RET
In the new window which pops up, I press the space bar, which tells Emacs to highlight the differences. Look at Figure 1 and see how easy it is to find each changed word.
Figure 1. ediff-files 5 6
GNU wdiff is also very useful, especially if you aren't running X. A pager (such as less) is all that is required—and that is only required for large differences. The exact same set of files (5 and 6), compared with the command wdiff -t 5 6, is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. wdiff -t 5 6
If you are getting extra character sequences like ESC[24 instead of getting underline and reverse video, it's probably because you are using less, which by default doesn't pass through all escape characters. Use less -r instead, or use the more pager. Either should work.
wdiff uses the termcap database (that's what the -t option is for) to find out how to enable underline and reverse video, and not all termcap entries are correct. In some instances, I've found that the linux termcap entry works well for other terminals, since the codes for turning underline and reverse video on and off don't differ very much across terminals. To use the linux termcap entry, you can do this:
TERM=linux wdiff -t 5 6 | less -r
This will work only with bourne shell derivatives such as bash, not with csh or tesh. But since you need to do this only to correct for a broken termcap database, this limitation shouldn't be too much of a problem.
wdiff isn't always built with the termcap support needed to underline and reverse video, and it's not always what you want even if you have a working termcap database, so there's an alternate output format that is just as easy to understand. We'll kill two birds with one stone by also showing off wdiff's ability to deal with re-wrapped paragraphs while showing off its ability to work without underline and reverse video. File 8 is the same as the correct file 2, shown at the beginning of this article, but file 7 (the corrupted one) now has much shorter lines, which makes them even harder to compare "by eye":
Ecce Eduardus Ursus scalis nunc tump-tump-tump occipite gradus pulsante post Christophorum Robinum descendens. Est quod sciat unus et solus modus gradibus desendendi, non nunquam autem sentit, etiam alterum nodum exitare, dummodo pulsationibus desinere et de no modo meditari possit. Deinde censet alios modos non esse. En, nunc ipse in imo est, vobis ostentari paratus. Winnie ille Pu.
wdiff is not confused by the differently-wrapped lines. The command wdiff 7 8 produces this output:
Ecce Eduardus Ursus scalis nunc tump-tump-tump occipite gradus pulsante post Christophorum Robinum descendens. Est quod sciat unus et solus modus gradibus [-desendendi, non nunquam-] {+descendendi, nonnunquam+} autem sentit, etiam alterum [-nodum exitare,-] {+modum exstare,+} dummodo pulsationibus desinere et de [-no-] {+eo+} modo meditari possit. Deinde censet alios modos non esse. En, nunc ipse in imo est, vobis ostentari paratus. Winnie ille Pu.
Remember the + and - characters? They mean the same thing with wdiff as they mean with diff. (Consistent user interfaces are wonderful.)
The first comment asked for
The first comment asked for reasons. Here are a few.
1. Years of fighting with graphical tools can lead one to learn command line tools.
2. A major difference between the two is the former can be used in scripts.
3. Another significant difference is robustness. It's generally much easier to crash a graphical tool than a well-designed command line one.
4. Lastly, command line tools most often contain less code and require less system resources to operate, often making them better suited to work faster and more efficiently than graphical tools.
Smaller, faster and more reliable. Built for automation. A higher learning curve may be a trade off for higher performance.
Why in the world would I want to fight with command line tools when trying to compare and merge versions? Graphical diff and merge tools have existed for decades.
Now if you can show me a diff and merge tool that understands the syntax of the file being compared and I'll be far more interested. I have seen merge tools eat a brace way too often.
I think the images for figure
I think the images for figures 1 and 2 are broken. When I follow the links to view these figures, the images don't show up in my browser window.
using diff and patch
If I use diff -Naur to generate a patch symbolic links are not respected. e.g. see below;
How can I get patch/diff to respect symbolic links?
$ ll foo*
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 foo users 5 Jun 9 13:04 link -> stuff
-rw-r--r-- 1 foo users 12 Jun 9 13:04 stuff
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 foo users 5 Jun 9 13:04 link -> stuff
-rw-r--r-- 1 foo users 12 Jun 9 13:04 stuff
$ diff -Naur foo foo2 > patch
$ mv foo2 foo2.orig
$ patch -p0 < patch
patching file foo/link
patching file foo/stuff
$ ll foo
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 foo users 27 Jun 9 13:08 link
-rw-r--r-- 1 foo users 27 Jun 9 13:08 stuff

Re: Diff, Patch, and Friends
Nice article! I now link to it from
my "Howto contribute to an open source project" tutorial,
Re: Diff, Patch, and Friends
You may want to link to the manpages for the free versions
of diff and patch too, instead of only the GNU versions:
To the editor: ed(1) is by no means obsolete; I'm actually
faster with ed than with vi (whose modus operandi is
cruelly to a wordstar-compatible editor user like me).
You didn't mention diff3 either, did you?
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

About the Program
The Houston Community College System, Coleman College for Health Sciences' Occupational Therapy Assistant Program has transitioned from a Certificate Program to an Associate of Applied Science Degree Program. The Certificate Program is no longer available.
The Occupational Therapy Assistant curriculum prepares graduates to provide skilled health care services under the supervision of licensed occupational therapists. Working collaboratively, the occupational therapy assistant is trained to provide services to consumers across the life span, particularly those with challenges (i.e. disease, injury, illness, wellness, prevention), that prevent active independent "living life to its fullest" through daily occupations and tasks. Services may include, but are not limited to, treating a wide range of physical, developmental, psychological, social and emotional conditions. Principles, theories and treatment interventions that emphasize best practices are the hallmark of this profession's repertoire. Examples of types of intervention(s) include therapeutic exercises and activities, motor and life skills training, basic activities of daily living (BADL), and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) training, adaptive technologies use and training, splint construction and usage, home modification, work-related intervention, psychosocial group and individual programs, and consumer/care giver education.
The Associate of Applied Science program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), 4720 Montgomery Lane, P. O. Box 31220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220; 301.652.AOTA.
The program offers an approved curriculum which, upon completion, allows graduates to apply and sit for the national Certification Examination for occupational therapy assistants. The examination is administered through the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) and successful completion allows the entry-level practitioner to wear the title Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). Most states, including Texas, require a license to practice. A license is issued by The Executive Council of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Examiners (ECPTOTE), located at 333 Guadalupe St., Suite 2-510, in Austin, TX, 78701-3942; 512.305.6900. A state license is issued based on the graduate's results of the national certification examination and application to the state board.
Applicants must meet the general requirements for admission to Houston Community College, Coleman College for Health Sciences as well as the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program.
Applicants accepted into the program are required to provide the following documents upon acceptance in the program to ensure registration: proof of a CPR and First Aid certificate, physical examination, immunizations and Hepatitis B (which may take up to 6 months to administer), drug test, criminal background check. Personal data forms are completed prior to releasing clinical placement assignments. Students are required to pay liability insurance fees which provide protection against losses resulting from malpractice claims.
Currently, there are six prerequisites:
- MATH 0312 – Intermediate Algebra (if assessed below college level math)
- BIOL 2401 – Anatomy & Physiology I*
- ENGL 1301 – Composition I
- PSYC 2301 – Introduction to Psychology
- OTHA 1301 – Introduction to OT
- HPRS 1201—if you have less than 12 college credits
* Must be completed within 5 years prior to admission to the program.
The program offers full-time day courses, with classes scheduled between the hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Saturday classes may be required some semesters.
A minimum grade of "C" is required in all OTHA courses with the exception of skills and clinical courses which have a minimum requirement of the grade of "B". Clinical internship experiences are scheduled and are assigned during the fall and spring semesters.
Employment opportunities are available to the assistant in hospitals, rehabilitation centers (in and out-patient), assisted living facilities, home health care agencies, nursing homes, hand therapy sites, school systems, prisons, psychosocial facilities wellness centers, community settings, pediatric and developmental centers. Emerging areas of practice may include low vision, hippo-therapy, driver rehabilitation and hospice (palliative) care, to name a few. According to occupational outlook data, "Employment of occupational therapy assistants is expected to increase 43 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average growth for other occupations (National Bureau of Labor and Statistics May 2012)." The rise in job opportunities is due to the increased number of individuals with disabilities or limited function. Salaries ranges are found below.
Percentile wage estimates for this occupation from lowest to highest percentile follows:
Percentile |
10% |
25% |
50% |
75% |

By: Elizabeth Reed, KOB.com
A march is planned for Tuesday in protest of the officer-involved shooting death of a man in the foothills.
Protesters will meet downtown at Central and 1st to march to the Albuquerque police headquarters at 6 p.m.
Last Sunday, two officers shot 38-year-old James Boyd while confronting him in an open-space on Piedra Vista Road NE. Police said the suspect was armed with knives and refused to drop them after the officers used non-lethal force.
But in lapel camera video of the incident, Boyd can be heard saying, "Please don't hurt me, I can't move."
Police said the officers used a Taser, beanbag rounds, bullets and a K-9 unit. Boyd died at UNM Hospital after the incident.
At a press conference last Friday, APD Chief Gorden Eden said he thought the shooting was justified. But some state leaders say Albuquerque officers need to be trained better.
State Sen. Michael Padilla said he was concerned with the chief's reaction to the shooting.
"There are a lot of hard working police officers in this case," State Sen. Michael Padilla said. "Maybe something happened and we don't know that, but to hear the chief of police immediately come forward and say, 'Hey there's nothing to see here, nothing wrong here,' I think that's egregious and I'm very concerned about that."
This comes as APD faces an investigation from the U.S. Department of Justice in 36 police shooting cases. Mayor Richard Berry's office has not yet commented about the issue.

Check in section 2.3 of the book for more information about this. Try booting with the host system and running "debugfs -R feature /dev/[lfspartition]" to check. If it does report custom features, then all you can do is restart the build from the beginning, recreating the partition with the stock e2fsprogs.

Chris Bosh Named NBA All-Star Reserve Player
congratulationsThe players for the 63rd annual NBA All-Star Game have been chosen.
It's a big day for Chris Bosh, who was just selected as a reserve player for the Eastern Conference All-Stars.
While the starting lineups for the NBA All-Star games are chosen directly by the fans, the reserves are selected by the head coaches in each conference. In his 11 seasons with the NBA, Chris has been chosen to participate in the NBA All-Stars Game eight times, but the 6'11" forward-center for the Miami Heat is still modest about being selected.
"It's still a big deal for me," Chris said in an interview with the South Florida Sun Sentinel. "Every year it's a question mark for me, to be honest with you. I mean, I had to play a different role and I have to play well in that role, and it's changed every year that I've been here, and I still find a way to kind of get it done."
Congratulations, Chris!
The 63rd NBA All-Star Game will air live on TNT and ESPN Radio on Sunday, February 16.

- After recording two private EPs and a demo CD named Origin, with the help of Bigwig Enterprises in 2000, the band released their first full-length album, Fallen, on Wind-up Records in 2003. Fallen sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and helped the band win two Grammy Awards.
- While they were looking to promote Fallen, Evanescence accepted an offer from the video game company Nintendo to perform on the "Nintendo Fusion Tour" which they headlined in 2003.
- Fallen spent 43 weeks on the Billboard Top 10; was certified 7x Platinum in the United States; and sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, including 7 million in the U.S. The album was listed for 104 weeks on the Billboard Top 200, and it was one of eight albums in the history of the chart to spend at least a year on the Billboard Top 50.
- Originally promoted in Christian stores, the band eventually made it clear they did not want to be considered part of the Christian rock genre. Wind-up Records chairman Alan Meltzer issued a press release in April 2003 asking for the band's music to be removed from Christian retail outlets.

One way to naturally curl your hair - this works!!! But I usually only do the spirals in a cluster low in the back for a very elegant swirled bun while I'm waiting for my hair to be curled. It's such a easy and pretty hair do, I find myself doing it even when I don't want the curly hair, but just feel like doing a swirly bun!

In 2010, the MTRI started working on a project to help fulfill the goals outlined in the Atlantic Coastal Plain Flora Recovery Strategy. This is a multi-year project that has three aspects: Science, Education and Stewardship. The project is funded by the Habitat Stewardship Program (HSP) and many partnering organizations. Check back for new details and the results of the first field season in the near future.
Ever thought about how neat it would be to discover a native species for the first time in Nova Scotia, or even Canada? Believe it or not, even with all of the research and "stomping" around by experts and naturalists, new discoveries still happen! This year was a particularly good year for these discoveries.
In all, two species new to Canada were discovered and at least seven species were found in brand new areas in Nova Scotia. The discoveries were made possible by several ongoing research projects like Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute's (MTRI) Atlantic Coastal Plain Flora project, ACCDC's Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre's (ACCDC) rare plant surveys, and also by keen naturalists paddling around on a good ol' fashion canoe trip.

In the rock barrens of Queens and Lunenburg counties, botanists from the ACCDC discovered an extremely rare plant: Blue curls, a member of the mint family. As the name suggests, the small plant has blue, curly flowers. In its eastern North American distribution range, it is often found in harsh barren habitat, and its rarity in Nova Scotia is an indicator of the open, dry, nutrient-deprived habitat in which it usually resides. Currently in Canada, this species is only known from one other location in southern Ontario.
Along the lower stretch of the Tusket River, botanists also discovered a coastal plain shrub called Maleberry. The species had only previously been found as far north as Maine. Neither it nor any cousin species are known to occur anywhere else in Canada. What a find! This significant discovery outlines the importance of looking for these rare species and examining these rare habitats: after all, how can we conserve and manage natural ecosystems sustainably if we are missing important pieces of the ecological puzzle?
At least seven other species were found in new places within the province. Water-pennywort was found in a lake in the Tusket watershed, which extends its overall Canadian distribution from two lakes to three lakes. Tall Beakrush, which was found for the first time in all of Canada in 2009, was discovered in a second location, again in the Medway watershed. Tubercled Spike-rush was found for the first time in the Tusket watershed; it had previously only been found in the Barrington area and more recently in one small lake in the Medway watershed. Spotted Pondweed was found in several formerly undiscovered places in the Tusket watershed. New locations for Long's Bulrush were recorded in the upper Medway watershed, and for the first time in the Mersey watershed in Kejimkujik National Park. Goldencrest was also discovered in a new site in the Medway watershed. Even a group of outlandish paddlers got in on the fun and found Southern Twayblade in two counties – Digby and Annapolis – that had previously not been known for this species.
All of the plants mentioned here are quite rare, and the last example just goes to show that anyone – with a bit of knowledge and a love for the outdoors – can make meaningful discoveries that help with the conservation of these species. If you're physically fit, enjoy the outdoors, have a bit of spare time, why not spend a day or two with expert botanists in your area? Contact MTRI at 902-682-2371 or www.merseytobeatic.ca for more details on how to help while also learning from top-notch experts! Maybe you'll be the one to make the next big discovery…
The Lakeshore Owner of the Year Award recognizes landowners for sharing their land with the plants and animals that also call Nova Scotia home. This award was created to highlight and recognize the landowners that are being stewards of their land and to inspire others to adopt similar practices. It was developed especially for a special group of plants called Atlantic Coastal Plain Flora (ACPF). This is a unique group of unrelated plants are mainly concentrated in southwest Nova Scotia along lakeshores, salt marshes and freshwater wetlands. They provide ecosystem services and indicate good water quality, both of which are very important to people and communities. There are over 90 species of ACPF in Nova Scotia and over 1/3 are found nowhere else in Canada! Almost half of these species are listed as 'at risk' or 'sensitive' by the NS General Status Ranks and need help to make sure they are not lost from this province. To learn more about ACPF please view the online field guide for ACPF in Nova Scotia by clicking here.
The Lakeshore Owner of the Year award recognizes landowners in the Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve that are maintaining habitat for native species on their property. Actions that help include: maintaining the natural vegetation around lake shorelines and wetlands, reducing or eliminating lawns (especially on the lake side of the house/cottage), planting only appropriate native species, avoiding rock walls, raking, mowing or infilling the lake shoreline, and ensuring that the lake water quality is not impacted by excessive nutrients (which can result from fertilizers, bad septic systems, etc). Contestants will be evaluated on the actions they have taken to maintain the natural vegetation and water quality of their property. Once all the applicants are reviewed the top contestants will receive a site visit before the winner is selected.
Click here to enter using our online submission form
The winner of the Lakeshore Owner of the Year award will receive a plaque and an original painting of their property by local artist Jennifer McKinnon. Winners will also be recognized in an article and news release.
Individuals are encouraged to fill out a submission form for their own property or to nominate someone else who is a steward of their property.
Submissions are required by September 15th, 2011.

One of the main objectives of the ACPF project is to engage volunteers from local communities and teach them the skills and knowledge needed to become active participants in the scientific aspects of the project and learn more about ACPF in southwest Nova Scotia. There are many ways for volunteers to get involved in the ACPF project, one of which is the collection of water quality samples and data on lakes we have selected for sampling. The training workshops for water quality sampling in the 2011 season are past, but if you are interested in becoming a water quality volunteer, please contact us, we can always use more volunteers!
If you are interested in learning about how we are monitoring water quality, have a look at our sampling protocol.

The image of God refers to the human likeness to God. This is the most basic declaration made concerning the nature of human being from a Christian perspective. Humans are unique among all creatures. They are like God and therefore able to have fellowship with God. (Genesis 1: 26-27) teaches that God determined to create man/ woman in His ''image'' and ''likeness.'' They (we) would have dominion (authority) over all creation.
The moment that man/ woman became living creatures, they were the image of God. Both male and female share this likeness to God (1: 27). Other passages that speak of people being created in the image of God are (Genesis 5:1, 9: 6; 1st Corinthians 11: 7; James 3: 9; Ephesians 4: 24; and Colossians 3: 10 refer to humanity's re-creation.
The statement in (Genesis 1:) states that man were made in the image of God and that statement was not made of any of the other living creatures. The animals, the fish, and the birds do not share this privilege. By virtue of His creation from the dust of the ground, mankind has an obvious kinship with the earth.
A human in his our her wholeness is the image of God. The biblical concept is not that the image is in man or woman, but that man are the image of God. Man's kinship with the earth is most clearly visible in his body. So, the image of God is best seen when humans are viewed from the perspective of their spirituality. There are aspects of spirituality that define humans and set them apart from the animal creation. The image of God is then found to reside in some attribute or combination of attributes, such as rationality, will, freedom, responsibility, or the like.
It is the personality of humans that separates them from the animals and is a reflection of the personality of God. The animals have their existence from God, but humans have their being in God, and they are His offspring (Acts 17: 28-29). Another major aspect of the image of God is developed from (Ephesians 4: 24; and Colossians 3: 10. These verses describe the re-creation of the believers in the likeness of God-in righteousness, holiness of the truth, and true knowledge.
Paul declares that the redeemed are re-created into the image of God as they are transformed into the image of Christ, who bears the untainted image of God. Jesus Christ is first and foremost the image of God (2ed Corinthians 4: 4; Colossians 1: 15; Hebrews 1: 3). Frequently this is understood as a reference to the deity of Christ. To see Christ is to see the Father (John 14: 9). However, in the passages cited, it is the incarnate Mediator, the last Adam, who is all that God intended the first Adam to be. Incarnation means that Jesus is truly human, and because He is truly human, He is truly the image of God.
Adam and the Mediator of the new covenant, Jesus brings His people into conformity with His own image, the image of the Son of God (Romans 8: 29). Jesus became like His brethren in the likeness of sinful flesh. This was to destroy sin in order that His brethren might reflect His own glory. Believers are changed into the same image from glory-to- glory by the Spirit of the Lord (2ed Corinthians 3: 18). Believer are to ''put on Christ'' (Romans 13: 14; Galatians3: 27; Ephesians 4: 24; and Colossians 3: 10).
Conformity to the image of Jesus Christ is achieved through the process of sanctification. That process is ultimately completed at the resurrection. Only than is the body changed until it is transformed to be like the glorious body of Christ (Philippians 3: 21). Restoration in the image of Christ carries beyond creation in the image of God, for the image of the earthly is then exchanged for the image of the heavenly (1st Corinthians 15: 49).

New Robotic Training System Helps Patients Recovering From Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury and Other Conditions Affecting Balance
Baltimore, MD – December 10, 2013 – The risk and fear of falling often affects patients who are recovering from a stroke, spinal cord or brain injury, and orthopaedic injuries, and that fear may inhibit their progress in rehabilitation. The University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute is offering a new robotic trolley system providing patients added security and allowing them to overcome that fear, thereby maximizing benefit from therapy.
"The robotic trolley system moves on a ceiling-mounted, overhead track and connects to a harness holding the patient. The body weight support gives the patients the security to know that they will not fall, and the degree of support can be adjusted as the patients regain strength and mobility," explains Peter Gorman, M.D., associate professor of neurology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and chief of the division of rehabilitation at the University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute.
The computerized device, known as the Vector Gait & Safety System, allows therapists to program the system for each patient's needs, including individualized body weight support. The system provides real-time feedback and keeps track of each patient's movements and distance walked, enabling therapists to analyze the data and tailor each patient's rehabilitation program.
"The system allows many of our patients to walk earlier in their rehabilitation program without an assistive device, such as a cane or walker. Patients who have used the Vector tell us that they feel extremely secure, which gives them the confidence to progress in their rehabilitation," says Lori Patria, director of rehabilitation therapy services at the University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute.
"As one of nation's leading rehabilitation and research facilities, we are committed to using innovative technologies to provide the best rehabilitative and orthopaedic care possible. We are eager to see how this robotic track system can benefit patients with a wide range of gait issues," says Michael Jablonover, M.D., chief executive officer of the University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute and clinical professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
The 144-bed University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute is the largest inpatient rehabilitation hospital and provider of rehabilitation services in Maryland. Patients make the transition to rehabilitation after recovering from stroke, traumatic injury, orthopaedic surgery and other illnesses. The University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute is part of the University of Maryland Medical System, a 12-hospital system of academic, community and specialty hospitals.

Learn more about ASEE's Year of Action on Diversity
The American Society for Engineering Education defines diversity as the inclusion of individuals that represent variations in gender, race, ethnic background, disability, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, nationality and other non-visible differences resulting in an environment rich in intellectual variety and respect for the individual, and optimally suited to address the technological needs of the future.
In order for the U.S. to remain technologically competitive, the engineering education community and profession must increase the engagement of our entire population in promoting engineering as a desired career option and promote the pursuit of engineering careers among those who have been historically under-represented within the engineering community. ASEE believes that regardless of gender, age, race, ethnic background, disability, sexual orientation or national origin all individuals must be provided with equality of opportunity to pursue and advance in engineering careers.
ASEE created a Diversity Committee in fiscal 2011, with a strategic plan to position the society in partnership with appropriate organizations to increase diversity in the profession. The committee encourages each member division to hold at least one activity per year that features inclusiveness, and engages ASEE leaders and members 1) to articulate the importance to the profession of advancing diversity and 2) promote individual and organizational opportunities and responsibilities in developing an engineering community that "looks like" America.
The committee will create model policies and practices for engineering colleges, with practical guidance on actions leading to attracting students; lifting barriers to access for students from underrepresented groups; and enrolling, retaining, and graduating more diverse cohorts of engineers. The committee will encourage engineering college collaboration with successful programs that promote diversity, such as "Engineers Week" and "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day." It will also promote excellence by working with the Baldrige Awards to develop a highly prestigious awards program to recognize engineering schools that achieve key goals.
ASEE is committed to increasing the participation of diverse individuals in all venues where engineering is taught, practiced and supported. These include pre-college, college and industry environments as well as within professional organizations that support engineering. ASEE recognizes that steady gains have been made in the number of women, African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans in engineering over the past decade. However, progress has not been adequate, and under representation of these and other groups continues to be a problem facing the profession.
ASEE strongly supports increasing diversity in engineering education, engineering technology education, and the engineering profession. ASEE believes this can be achieved by promoting greater participation of people from varying backgrounds while supporting the education, recruitment, retention, and advancement of these groups in engineering education, engineering technology education, and the engineering profession.
ASEE believes that diversity enriches the educational experience and improves the practice of engineering. We learn from those whose experiences, beliefs, and perspectives are different from our own, and these lessons can be taught best in a richly diverse intellectual and social environment.
The American Society for Engineering Education is a nonprofit association of more than 11,000 members representing colleges, corporations, and other organizations dedicated to promoting excellence in engineering education and engineering technology education. ASEE, which celebrated its centennial in 1993, plays a key role in developing and promoting policies that will enable engineering education and its allied branches of science and technology to meet the new challenges of global competition and changing demographics.

Bruces Jones Apparel & Accessories
Bruce Bruce Jones Surfboards has built premium surfboards for three decades. The company, renowned worldwide for its products, was founded by Bruce in 1973 after he shaped surfboards for many years with some of the biggest surfing names in the sport: Hobie, Gordie, and Brewer to name a few.
Bruce was there at Hobie's, during the golden age of the mid 1960's, when the best shaping talent in surfing history was gathered in one place: Phil Edwards, Dale Velzy, Terry Martin, John Gray and Ralph Parker, among others. Starting in the glueing department, Bruce worked his way into rough shaping, then into the actual shaping room and lost no time in getting help from everyone involved in shaping surfboards.
At night, Bruce would shape surfboards for Gordie Surfboards. Gordie (Gordon Duane) had a reputation for being a superb craftsman but very hard to get along with. Bruce put up with him and learned some of Gordie's shaping techniques and most of all his dedication to perfection through using these techniques. Bruce did a short stint with Dick Brewer in '69, ghost shaping surfboards for him on Maui. He then went on to shape for Russell Surfboards, Newport Beach, and then Ole Surfboards in Sunset Beach, Califoria from where he launched his own business.
The business is at the former site of Ole Surfboards, and has been in continuous use as a surf shop since 1965. A tradition of fine craftsmanship has been carried on, and Bruce Jones Surfboards is proud to offer some of the finest surfboards available today! We run our own manufacturing facility a few miles away in Costa Mesa, CA, very near the Quicksilver and Billabong headquarters. By keeping all work in house, a close watch on all the boards as they go through each step of construction is maintained. All are shaped by Bruce himself, and all the rough and finish fiber glassing is done by a group of craftsmen that have been working together for 20 years. Bruce Jones stresses performance with durability and refuses to make products like so many others on the market today - virtual throw-aways after only a year of use!
By using very close-tolerance US Blanks Foam Blanks, Bruce is able to stay on the harder, outside shell of the blank, optimal because polyurethane foam tends to get softer as the center of the core is reached. The Blanks are also 'cured', that is, allowed to harden up before they are shaped. The end result is a shaped blank that will support a specific glass job very well without caving in and delaminating. These blanks can also 'double stringered,' which adds tensile strength and helps avoid much of the breakage problem so prevalent in other surfboards.
Bruce Jones' graphic artist Ryan Martz is one of the best colormen in the business today, and is well known for his striking yet classic color designs. He is able to reproduce almost any drawing submitted with a customer's order. Greg Martz, Ryan's father,is head glasser/owner of Waterman's Guild, and is well known in the area as the best laminator in Southern California, producing incredible lamination colors!
Bruce shapes shortboard, hybrid and longboard shapes, doing every conceivable dimension of width and thickness from 6'0' to 12'0'. We generally keep a stable of rental/demos at our shop to give surfers an opportunity to 'size' themselves and perhaps try a shape they'll find quite different from what they've become accustomed to. The riding characteristics of our boards have been described as "mindless"; that is, they seem to do whatever the rider has in his mind. One does not have to learn how to ride them - they just surf!
We generally stock at least 200 new boards at a time, and invite you to stop by and take a look at the beauty and form of what we offer to the surfing public (our complete surfboard inventory is available to view on this Web site). Feel free to call and discuss your particular needs with our salespeople at any time or leave a message for Bruce. We also stock a complete inventory of accessories for your surfing needs, including O'Neill Wetsuits and Boardshorts ,and Bruce Jones clothing, leashes, car racks, etc. We do phone order/web order business and take every major credit card and have shipped boards and accessories worldwide, continuing to expand our phone/web order business. Our boards are also available in shops throughout California, and Japan.
The combination of fine shaping, a beautiful color design and a very precise fiberglass and finish coat has created a product that stands out above all others!

text: As I have mentioned, I couldn't believe how nice and welcoming everyone was. In particular, Vinnie seriously touched my heart with his kindness. I am an aspiring drummer and have always admired and looked up to him; at one point when I had a moment I approached him and asked him a wide array of questions and requested some tips on improving my skills. He not only answered them all and gave me inspiration and encouragement, he actually sat down with me on two separate occasions and gave me a private drum lesson. Vinnie was patient and sweet and he is just SUCH a cool guy; it was the most special moment of the weekend. I missed GUC's late night set to get the second half of my lesson and don't regret it for a second. THANK YOU SO MUCH VINNIE!! I had actually bought a pair of drumsticks in the hopes that he would sign them for me and told him that; but he didn't sign them, instead, Sunday night after their last show he gave me the sticks he used during their last set and signed them, writing "you rock Maria" – tears are swelling up in my eyes as I write about this. I can't express how much it means to me. Thanks again Vinnie – you're amazing.

- LaaLaa Phoenix Monroe said...
I cannot stand people like that. Do they not realise that they are representing the brand and the company should be lucky that you are still interested in looking into the products.
They obviously need re-training or straight fired.
I can imagine that took every inch of you to stay calm and not tell her about herself.
Like I've said the name is just -__- wow, can't agree with that for some reason it's never settled right with me.
On another note, they seem to have a vast majority of colours in their collections that I'd be interested in looking at. Just I hope I do not encounter that type of service as I'm sure Debenhams will ban me. - Sunday, August 29, 2010
- Lydia said...
wow, that would have made me write a formal complaint, not to mention tell them about the bad publicity they would have had from me.
I really hate brands that have a shitty customer service and no education whatsoever in SA's! No matter how good they are, I just don't buy from them anymore (hello, Eyeko!) - Sunday, August 29, 2010
- VexintheCity said...
@LaaLaa - I don't know how I managed not to kick off. Lots of deep breaths I guess! As soon as they started acting up, I thought "Here we go..". Having EVERYBODY read about their behaviour and having it up on the internet forever will have more of an impact than me ranting at them for 15 seconds!
When I go in again, if I catch wind of a hint of attitude from either of them, I'm gonna go nuts next time! - Sunday, August 29, 2010
- VexintheCity said...
@Lydia - I complained to head office on Thursday, no reply as yet!
- Sunday, August 29, 2010
- Lollipop said...
What an awful experience you had! I got angry on your behalf when I read through that! They should never have been rude to you but to continue to do so even after they confirmed who you were is disgusting. It looks bad on Debenhams, but even more so on the brand. I'm sure I'm not the only girl who had never heard of the brand prior to your post, and I'm sure I'm not the only girl put off by your experience. Just truly awful x

I like the colours of the powders but what an unfortunate name.

Wow how unbelievably rude! Just by reading through this, I feel angry for you. Bad customer service puts me right off the brand
- Sunday, August 29, 2010
- VexintheCity said...
@Lollipop - Yeah, the fact they still continued to ignore me after the Debenhams staff member (who was lovely by the way) had confirmed my story was disappointing. I'll eventually go back, but I'm in no hurry!!

- Maysam said...
thats soo sad thats how you were treated. I have to say the Debenhams at oxford street seems to have very bad sales associates at the make up counters. I was once at the Guerlain counter and the lady was very rude to myself and another lady who asked a question. she was talking to the customers like we were dirt off her shoes. I was soo annoyed with the service i wrote to head office and i had a very silly response email saying its a concession and they cant do anything about it. I think debenhams should really look at the kind of staff they have and perhaps tell them if they are not interested in customer focused industry they shouldnt be there. im glad you have highlighted this and i hope all make up counters take note and realise we are the consumers and its their job to help us not ridicule us!

Wow. We hear some horror stories about SAs, but this is just something else. Perhaps you should contact the company HQ afterall, I'm sure they'd be very interested in the write up of your counter experience.

They're lucky it didn't put you off the whole brand altogether. To be honest if that were me I don't know if I would't have just said F the lot of them and not bothered again!

OMG! What a horrible experience, the funny thing is I had a totally different experience with the same MUA in the pic about 6 months ago. I was just passing by when she invited me to try their new foundation she was really chatty and ended up doing a full face which I absolutely loved and I left there with the foundation, powder, mascara, lip gloss and body oil! She said they would have free make up bags the following week and took my number down to call me to come in and get one, and she actually did call. The only regret I have is the mascara, it was perfect at first but dried up really quick.

I saw the counter a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe the name.
The behaviour of the counter staff is very unfortunate, because your blog is an absolutely perfect fit with their demographic - professional women of colour who aren't otherwise very well catered for in department stores. If it was my brand, I'd have been bending over backwards to give you information. - Sunday, August 29, 2010
- Bob and Cecilia said...
Wow that's really quite something. I usually like to give SA the benefit of the doubt, especially since I have worked retail before and I understand what it can be like after so many hours, but that's really inexcusable for both of them to behave in such a way. I am glad you made the complaint, and I am curious to hear what the head office has to say about this.
- Sunday, August 29, 2010
- SoFrolushes said...
oh my gosh!! That is quite shocking. Glad you have complained to head office to let them know of your experience. Their staff has truly failed the brand. Such a wasted opportunity to big up a brand that is not really that well known. A product that those who have tried say is good ... but bad staff loses you customers and wont gain any new ones. quite shocking
- Sunday, August 29, 2010
- Sarah said...
My magpie eye was caught by some of the bright colours when I walked past this concession in Oxford St, but I didn't ever stop and look. Glad now that I didn't! What a total own-goal on the SA's part, especially if head office take your complaint seriously (which they should!)

God this is shocking! I'm not really sure which is the worst bit - how you were treated or the way the other customers were treated! This is disgusting!

- Bella Queen said...
I am not surprised about the SA's behaviour. I was treated the same awful way when I visited the counter a few months ago with a friend and I'm going to tell you the whole forsaken story. As a make up artist, I'm interested in all brands and after seeing them mentioned in Pride magazine, I decided to have a look next time I was in Debenhams. Upon approaching the counter, we were not asked if we needed help, which is fine by me as I know what I'm looking for. She carried on dusting around us (a bit uncomfortable but ok). I was pointing out various things to my friend and I went to lift the cover of the foundations and the SA shrieked 'Don't touch that!' and I'm like but I want to test it on my hand, have you got cotton buds? No she's doesn't, then she comes over puts down takes the cover from me, gives it a wipe and covers the foundation again, without me even having the chance to feel and experience the foundation. Whats that about? Have I soiled her precious counter? Am I dirty? Then she say's she can test it for me, on me. I said, I'm a make up artist, I want to test it myself, she said no. she has to do it. I was so p'd off and my friend whispered maybe she's having a bad day, lets go. My friend saved her! Lucky her.
So seems to me, things are still the same at the Black Up counter (what an unfortunate name too, wonder how many shoppers have looked at it and thought 'that brand is not for me' and walked on). SA's still rude and lacking basic customer services skills like 'wait here madam, whilst I just check on your permission to photograph'.
Fact is they can keep the counter all polished and sparkling all they, but without letting potential customers play with the products, they will be losing sales. Concession units are very expensive and retailers want to let them out to brands who will be successful and continue to influence footfall in the store in general. If Black Up don't Fix Up, I won't be surprised the day I walk into Debenhams and they have been replaced by a much more customer friendly brand with helpful and friendly staff! - Monday, August 30, 2010
- VexintheCity said...
@MD Tre - I know ..
@une tasse - It wasn't the most delightful of experiences, I can tell you that!
@Maysam - It reflects badly on Debenhams as many customers will think all staff been hired BY them, when in fact many of the SA's on the beauty counters are working for the brand in question. I've shopped in Debenhams for years, my Mum used to work in that very store many moons ago and I know they take customer service seriously but all it takes is the random few bad SA's who'll tar a store's reputation for good.
@Sharon - Sounds like the SA who dealt with you at the Croydon counter went to the same finishing school as the ones on Oxford Street!
@Sirvinya - I've emailed head office. Waiting on a reply now.
@Patricia - Me too. If you can't deal with people, you shouldn't be working in a customer service role!
@Laura - I will be!
@Sarah - I'm slowly leaning that way. I don't want to deal with those SA's again.
@Abimars - I'm glad you had a positive experience. I wouldn't wish what I went through on any decent person. I can't believe the same SA was so accommodating to you - it must have been her twin sister! It's encouraging to hear you like the products you bought too, bar the mascara.
@Grace London - LOL The less said about the ridiculous name the better ..
Yeah, I totally agree with you. The idiots had no idea that I would have bought products there on the spot had they been sold to me, or I'd been given the chance to explore and swatch to my hearts content. Their loss.
@Bob and Cecilia - I'm sympathetic towards retail workers too as I stood in their place (many of us have worked in retail at some point in our lives) once upon a time, but it was 2pm, nobody was the counter and I was as friendly and pleasant as could be, yet still I was treated that way. Baffling.
@Sofrolushes - Yeah, they totally failed the brand. Next time maybe they'll think twice about the way they speak to customers.
@Sarah - They have some really nice shades, which makes my experience all the more disappointing. I really want to bloody try them!
@Mizzworthy - Both are equally as bad. I was spitting blood!
@Bella Queen - I'm speechless. That says it all and I'm glad you've posted your experience. When the Black|Up staff realise I'm not exaggerating and that other customers have suffered at the hands of these sales assistants then maybe they'll do something about it! I felt the rage just reading your post!!

Wow, that's inexcusable behavior. I hope you contacted both Debenhams and Black|Up head offices about this and if it's in email, I hope you left a link to this post. All I know is that I want nothing to do with that brand.
That name is horrible. It makes me think the brand is for white women who want to wear blackface, "let's see if we can't black them up", you know? I'm assuming something is being lost in translation so that the French brand doesn't understand how that name sounds in English. - Monday, August 30, 2010
- SilhouetteScreams said...
What the actual fuck?! That's utterly disgusting behaviour :| though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, because a couple of French friends have told me that many sales assistants over there are incredibly rude :(
I hope you get a reply from their head office, and have you emailed Debenhams? Even if they work for the actual brand and not Debenhams they should know the kind of disgusting behaviour going on in their stores D: - Monday, August 30, 2010
- www.Cosmetic-Candy.com said...
What a way to behave. If you were lying why would you tell them to check with the person in charge...hmmm.
I had this experience on a counter in Selfridges where I had permission from the counter but the dragon of a floor manager tried to intimidate me by standing over and ranting. Excuse me! Swatching a counter in your shop will only bring you more business, not less.
Anyway, I gave up in the end I'm not a member of staff there I don't feel like I should be bullied by someone who isn't my boss especially when I was told it would be ok. Thing is I spend a fortune on there (haven't bought much from their store for a while I only buy when I absolutely need to). Go to boots instead now for Chanel, Dior, YSL, Clarins etc. - at least I get points, Nars from an online store, Trish McEvoy from Harvey Nichols...
There are ALWAYS alternatives! No point being rude and obnoxious because we will find an alternative.
Rant over. - Monday, August 30, 2010
- britishbeautyblogger said...
Not sure how I feel about the name of the range for starters - on the one hand it sounds almost derogatory and yet on the other sounds like a positive shout out to women of colour..still thinking about that one. Maybe in France it has a more clear meaning and there are no 'blacking up or black and white minstrel' connotations, and it's the nuance of the English language that makes it sit a little uncomfortably. The SAs on the other hand - no confusion there - hideously rude and clearly looking for a sharp exit from Debenhams. And Bella Queen's 'don't touch that' story - omg! I just want to go and touch it all to see what happens. In fact, I'm going to.
- Monday, August 30, 2010
- Donna said...
OMG britishbeautyblogger, it would be hilarious if we could get a bunch of us together and all go at once. What could they do about dozens of women all swatching and getting fingerprints on their precious displays? Unfortunately I'm in the US or I would want to plot and scheme on this!
- Monday, August 30, 2010
- liloo said...
this totally totally put me off. who do they think they are. i mean seriously. i've had the chance to check out this range in person while shopping in paris a year and a half ago. love love love the shadows and the glitter pigments thingy but i think it's over priced. and with an attitude like that, they're not helping and i am so not buying anything from the range. xx
will i survive without them? yes i will, no matter how pretty the shadows are

First of all I hate the name of the product. And I wouldn't buy it if they were giving it away. I don't do rude sales people!
MAC as of late has been shady in customer service and as much as I love my MAC I don't like their make up artist. They are rude and lack customer service skills... smh I think you should report this to their manager and corporate both of those ninnies should not have a job!!! - Tuesday, August 31, 2010
- The Amateur Kit said...
I believe 'Black Up' may just be a very unfortunate translation. I'm sure I saw one of their counters in Holland and the name was 'Black Op' and I suppose its different again in French. As others have mentioned - the phrase itself probably doesn't have the connotations it has here in the UK.

Disgusting behaviour, I hope they got a rocket up their derrieres! As for the name, I cringe every time I read that. They got that bit soooooo wrong! What a shame as the products look very interesting from your (hard won) photos. x

Oh no!!! I don't know whether to laugh or cry. This is appalling behaviour but for some reason I am not surprised. I have tried to deal with Black Up on a business level but not had much luck. You should make a complaint, those ladies should not be allowed to deal with the general public. Who talks to customer like that? Shocking!! No wonder their brand presence is so weak.

- Scandalous Beauty said...
This is insane. I saved this post to refer to because I really wanted more info on Black Up. Their PR team never contacts me back, maybe because it's not readily available here in the States. Your story is disturbing on too many levels. Thanks for telling the truth, and trying to inform your readers about a brand that might have been perfect for them.
- Monday, September 06, 2010
- amber_j said...
Wow! Just... wow! That's so awful. I can't believe you were treated like that. Try the counter at Morley's in Brixton - the MUAs there are really friendly.
Oh, and it's also called Black Up here in France. I guess cultural and historical references just don't translate so well when coming up with a brand name. I don't get the impression they mean anything negative by it. - Monday, September 06, 2010
- Mary said...
OMG!! This is shocking!! Its funny you should mention the counter in Brixton because i was intoduced to this brand a couple of months back in that store at an event they were doing to promote there new foundation and vibrating mascara!
Me and all my friends had a blast, filled our faces with the refreshments and left with the best makeovers I have ever experienced. Considering I dont really wear make up I was shocked that i spent just over £70! But the girls were so nice, poliite and drop dead gorgeous. They all wore Bright Blue to match the mascara!! So Cute!
We were served by the manageress, a Northern girl from Manchester I think, she had great legs lol and was so funny. It was so relaxing and didnt feel any pressure to buy like you sometimes do with these "free" sessions! The service I received from those girls i couldnt of dared walk out without buy something.
If it wasnt for those girls I dont think I would of ever had any interest of trying the product! And now i have am addicted and cant live without it! So Yes I definately agree that the S.A's can make ALL the difference to a brand! People buy from Nice people and whenever i pop in if I the same S.A that served me isnt there I dont buy anything...its just not the same. She truly is an asset to Black Up!! - Thursday, September 23, 2010
- Mz. Fortune said...
Wow ... I live in NYC and they used to carry BLACK UP here but they no longer do .. I was doing a web search and came across ur blog. I absolutely detest rude sales people. I have this very same experience almost EVERY time I visit the MAC counter in MACYS! ... I feel ur pain.
- Friday, October 15, 2010
What a horrible experience! The first time I used a Black Up product (Liquid foundation)was at a Franchise in Lagos & I absolutely loved it! It's water-based and didnt make me break out like the other foundation I was using and you're all right-the SA makes all the difference cause if she wasn't so nice & friendly I wouldn't have bought it. She listened attentively to what I wanted & didn't pressurise me to buy anything. I only found your blog when I googled Black up to find out more about the brand,& places in London I could get it for cheaper(lol). Reading your experience I'm completely horrified! I'll just keep buying it from here, even with the mark-up on it, what a shame!

Hello There

JENNINGS, La. (AP) - Rural voters in Jefferson Davis Parish will be asked Oct. 19 to consider a number of issues to help support roads, fire protection and drainage districts.
The American Press reports the police jury agreed Wednesday to place 10 tax propositions on the ballot, including both renewals and continuations for maintenance and operation.
A new 10-mill property tax is being sought for Fire Protection District 5 in the Fenton area. It would generate $220,330 a year for operation and maintenance.
The measures, all for 10-year durations, are covered by the state's homestead exemption.
Early voting will be Oct. 5-12 at the Jefferson Davis Parish Registrar of Voters Office.

After a MERE 865 days of waiting, the Mac version of Torchlight 2 is finally being released! Sure, some of you may have thought it was vaporware. Others may have thought we were being lied to. Some even thought there was no such thing as unicorn bacon, but the truth has been revealed in this very self-teasing trailer:
You can buy the game on Steam at this link, and it will be capable of installing to a Windows or Mac OS on Monday! ...by Published on 01-12-2015 03:17 PM
Hello all! A quick news update for you all today, which I apparently missed at the end of last week. On the official Runic Games Twitter Account a blurred out picture of a wall of artwork has appeared, apparently for whatever their new game is! Is it Torchlight? Is it an MMO? Or is it something new? Hopefully this first tease means news will be coming in soon as we start off our brand new year. Enjoy the pic!...

Hello everyone! Very glad to still be writing here today, and with good news no less! The IndieGoGo fundraiser closed today, at a hefty $830! That's $130 past our initial goal! I can't thank you all enough for making this possible, and hopefully by this time next year things will be jumping again with a new game from Runic (cross your fingers!) so that we don't need to do another fundraiser!
Once the larger non-Paypal deposit makes it into my bank account and do the math on how much would be left over (after transaction/transfer fees) each month to cover the monthly bill for a year, but a rough estimate suggests around 6 bucks - low enough to be covered by the advertising with a little to spare (for upgrades/software renewal fees, etc)! I'm not sure if I'll return the contribution system with the giant counter on top for an amount that low, but I'll be sure to give it some thought and make a post when that time comes.
Finally, for the winners of the Dark Alchemist statues, I've sent you messages to confirm your shipping details.
Thanks again everyone! ...by Published on 11-24-2014 06:52 AM
Hey all! I've just noticed that there are a mere 66 hours left on our IndieGogo Campaign! We've actually surpassed our goal by 125 dollars (which is amazing!), but I wanted to point out that with the closing of the fundraiser will go your chance of getting one of the two very rare Dark Alchemist statues!
They will go to the top two contributors to the campaign, which are currently priced at 176 dollars (to beat first place) and 141 dollars (which will beat second place, unless someone beats the first place contributor). These statues are supplied directly by Runic Games, and are not on sale ANYWHERE!
Additionally, if we raise 99 dollars more before the campaign ends then advertisements will be turned off for ALL REGISTERED MEMBERS for an entire year, and the Monthly Contribution box will remain turned off for all that time as well. That's a pretty good deal for simply registering for free, and if you end up getting a Dark Alchemist statue in the process of making that a reality for everyone then so much the better!
Remember, only 66 hours left! ...by Published on 10-15-2014 06:26 PM
Apologies if the headline confuses anyone! Today's news tidbit follows former Runic Games Founders Travis Baldree and Erich Schaefer at their new two-man-only company Double Damage Games, as they reveal the first trailer for their new game Rebel Galaxy! There's a hefty article on Polygon, which is definitely worth checking out, as well as the Rebel Galaxy website. Here's the trailer for the game, as well as a quote from the website and a little follow up analysis:
Double Damage Games was founded in 2014 by Travis Baldree and Erich Schaefer.
Travis and Erich previously co-founded Runic Games, where we made Torchlight and Torchlight 2.
Before that, Travis created Fate in 2005 and was project and engineering lead on Mythos, before it was torn out of our hands in the Flagship Studios debacle of 2008. Erich was co-creator and lead designer of Diablo and Diablo II, then went on to lead Hellgate: London (blah blah Flagship debacle).
So we've been making big action-RPGs with big teams for a long, long time now.
Double Damage and Rebel Galaxy is a huge, well-needed, change of pace. It's just us two. Not to detract from the excellent art and music contractors we are working with, but DDG is just us. We wanted to make smaller, quicker games (though I doubt people will find Rebel Galaxy to be small), in a way not accountable to investors or suits, and not responsible for managing big teams. We've had great, exciting careers so far, but Double Damage is the funnest time we've developing a game in… forever? We hope you'll enjoy playing it!
BUT that's all my opinion, and in no way confirms or denies what Runic is working on next - because I don't know! Either way, I'm excited to have more games to play by the people I like making them. Head on over to Rebel Galaxy and support our favorite Runic alums!
...by Published on 10-10-2014 06:20 AM
We've reached our initial goal! The site is saved, in less than two weeks no less! Super thanks to the ten people who have contributed so far, you've done a huge favor to me and to our community!
There are still 48 days on the campaign however, and two more goals we could reach. I've updated the third goal to have an appropriate reward, but here's a reminder of what happens if we reach the remaining two goals:
924 Dollars: All servers fees for the year are covered, meaning we will have an entire year where the site is ad-free for everyone, guests and registered users alike!
1200 Dollars: All servers fees and software fees covered (including upgrades/updates/software license renewals and the cost of my Dropbox account covered (which is used to backup the site and all of the other files pertinent to website development). This results in a year free of ads for everyone, plus anyone who donates at least 5 dollars during the campaign will be Ad Free for Life!
Additionally, the Dark Alchemist statues (which go to the two highest contributors) are currently at the following:
First Place: 176 dollars or more.
Second Place: 141 dollars or more.
Thank you everyone, and I'm glad to say we'll be sticking around!
- If I already bought Torchlight II through Steam, how do I get the Linux version?

Court Administration, developed instructions and forms which have been compiled in a Self-Represented Litigant Simple Divorce Packet for plaintiffs and defendants. The purpose of these documents is to provide instructions and forms for people who choose to forego hiring an attorney but would like to file a divorce based on one-year continuous separation. These forms have been approved the S.C. Supreme Court.
