Give your circuits a workout in this deceptively simple puzzle game of logic that puts you in control of building a machine designed to test robots for defects. Defects like homicidal tendencies. You know, the usual stuff. When you're done, make use of the level editor, because the best way to show you care for someone is to tie their brain into knots.
Check out this port of the arcade classic Asteroids by Doug McInnes. If you've never played Asteroids, or an Asteroids-like game, the goal is to pilot your deltoid spacecraft around the void of space, blasting large lumbering asteroids into smaller, faster, projectile-like asteroids, then blasting those into dust before they breach your hull and destroy you. Destroy or be destroyed is the only law against the impersonal Astroids.
What's black and white and red all over? Nothing yet, as we seem to be needing more red!

Wiu wiu! Stop in the name of law! Not very commanding, is it?

There are three things that distinguish Bullethead from the hundreds of other similar, Space Invaders styled vertical shooters.

And that should be reason enough to stop reading this and give the game a try!
Even though it inherited the title from the original Tron, Space Paranoids is very aptly named. Because your advantage lies in speed, not firepower, the game encourages a lot of running away and waiting for enemies to come to you. Space Paranoids is not just a good advergame or a nice taste of nostalgia; It's also a fine game in its own right, and a great example of what the Unity engine can do when done well.
Trafalgar Origins is a top-down naval combat game commissioned by Channel 4 and created to promote their upcoming television show.

It's not often you come across a dice game that isn't like anything you've played before, and as such, you keep the deep "unlike anything you've seen before" movie trailer voice tucked away in the desk drawer. Tepiiku is one game that happens to deserve this sound bite, featuring a unique challenge of strategy, risk evaluation, and since we're dealing with dice, luck.

It's the end of the world as we know it. So all that is left is to match up cheeky blocks of colour while listening to the soundtrack of the new world order.

And before the lack of substance and the soundtrack eventually turns you away, it will have given you a good bit of entertainment.
Behold, Adverputt! It's a mouse-controlled mini-golf game that embraces commercial solicitation as an aesthetic. Players take aim on a huge, single-screen course, festooned with colorful advertisements awarded to the highest bidders. Hover the cursor over the ball, then move the cursor to aim and determine the power of your swing. Aim carefully, avoid traps and obstacles, and go for the lowest score.
There's something unsettling about these stark, washed out sterile backgrounds, very typical of the whole series. Yet the look only adds to the sense of mystery as the player works their way closer and closer to the denouement, whatever that may be in the end. Brace yourself for some strangeness, and join the journey to the center of the house, the solar system, or the human soul. You decide.
Ready for a blast from the past? Pixel Basher is a Breakout clone with a slick new look, new upgrades, and new backgrounds. At only nine levels, it won't keep you busy for long, but it's fast, addictive fun for those of us who remember when an arcade was an actual thing you went to rather than just "That thing old uncle Bob keeps talking about whenever I fire up the console".
While it's missing some bells and whistles (like sound effects, namely bells and whistles), and the name might be a bit of a misnomer (wouldn't true toroid Tetris wrap from bottom to top?), Torus makes use of HTML5, a shiny new programming language that's accessible on more platforms than before. While making a step into the future(!) of gaming, Torus pays homage to a classic with its own unique twist.

Gain levels, upgrade abilities, and above all else, protect your treasure!
It might be a well-worn concept, the stalwart physics game, but something about Vyacheslav Stepanov's latest puzzle game, Let It Glow, really shines.

It's a simple idea that's remarkably well-executed and worth playing for the nostalgia alone!
Prepare to be puzzled in the latest unconventional jigsaw game from Plexus and Smartkit! Try to match up the edges of each image to lock them together to form... um... no coherent scene, which only adds to the challenge of figuring out how to connect all the pieces. Pirates! offers puzzling fun with a swarthy theme.
Hotel Bianco-Bianco continues the tradition of quality design inherent in Bianco-Bianco's escapes.

Gear puzzles are popular fodder for games these days.

Aside from an optional "acid" reskin, Cover Orange: Players Pack keeps the same mechanics as its predecessors. That's because this game contains the winners of a level design contest.

I had better have a really good time." And you will

Maybe the most important thing that games teach us is to think critically and examine everything we see carefully.

The ability to change size is an oft explored trope from our favorite stories, from Alice in Wonderland to classic science-fiction films. But how many have asked what effects such an ability would have on the protagonist of classic sidescrolling platform games? That's the gist of the odd premise of Specter Spelunker Shrinks. Created by Ken Grafals, Specter Spelunker Shrinks is an experimental puzzle platformer where the ability to grow and shrink the main character is key to navigating a world of dangerous pink prisms and disparately sized passageways.
A Stitch in Time is not a traditional sequel, for it doesn't exactly pick up where the original left off. Instead, it starts a new story with a new protagonist that overlaps with the continuation of the previous story. You play Nigel Trelawney, just arrived at the town of Ravenhallow to settle his late, estranged father's estate. You quickly discover that this is no simple matter, as Ravenhallow has been overtaken by a sort of parochial Fascisti that, among other injustices, is making it really bothersome to move freely about town. The demo covers the introduction and first act of the full game, which is quite a bit of adventure game to sample.

In The Crossing, McCarthy fulfills the promise of All the Pretty Horses and at the same time gives us a work that is darker and more visionary, a novel with the unstoppable momentum of a classic western and the elegiac power of a lost American myth.In the late 1930s, sixteen-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch. But instead of killing it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico. With that crossing, he begins an arduous and often dreamlike journey into a country where men meet like ghosts and violence strikes as suddenly as heat-lightning--a world where there is no order "save that which death has put there."PRAISE FOR The Crossing:"Relentless, frequently brutal, and morbidly fatalistic, the novel expresses once again McCarthy's essentially bleak vision. Because he is one of America's foremost literary craftsmen, it is also passionate and compelling.... Like the tales of Homer and Melville, his timeless work will resonate for ages."--Kirkus Reviews
Cormac McCarthy Feature
Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island in1933 and spent most of his childhood near Knoxville, Tennessee. He served in the U.S. Air Force and later studied at the University of Tennessee. In 1976 he moved to El Paso, Texas, where he lives today. McCarthy's fiction parallels his movement from the Southeast to the West--the first four novels being set in Tennessee, the last three in the Southwest and Mexico. The Orchard Keeper (1965) won the Faulkner Award for a first novel; it was followed by Outer Dark (1968), Child of God (1973), Suttree (1979), Blood Meridian (1985), All the Pretty Horses, which won both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award for fiction in 1992, and The Crossing and Cities of the Plain, which completes The Border Trilogy.

Huskies Win Friday, Lose at last second Saturday
It took a last-second shot on Saturday to keep the Husky men's basketball team from an undefeated weekend as SCSU fell to Augustana 89-87 at the buzzer. The loss came after a narrow 66-59 win over Wayne State on Friday night for the Huskies.
Brett Putz showed up to play for SCSU on Friday as he led all scorers with 23 points in the victory over WSC. Andrew Bernstetter fell a rebound shy of a double-double as he notched 12 points and nine boards as St. Cloud extended its win streak to five games.
That win streak would be halted Saturday as Augustana's late game heroics downed the Huskies at Halenbeck Hall 89-87. Taylor Witt poured in 32 points for SCSU, his 16th straight game scoring in double figures. Bernstetter had another solid game for the Huskies as he posted 16 points and ten rebounds, his sixth double-double of the season.
The Huskies are now 11-8 overall and 10-5 in the always tough Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Democrats pressed Republicans to distance themselves from a major donor involved in Richard Nixon's campaign against Jewish government employees.
Fred Malek's role in demoting Jews in the Bureau of Labor Statistics while working as personnel director in the Nixon administration was first revealed in 1988, when it led to his resignation as deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee. He subsequently reached out to Jewish groups to make amends.
Additional memos recently released by the Nixon Library and published by the National Archives reveal additional information about Nixon's mission to demote 13 Jewish staffers, whom he was convinced were tweaking employment statistics to make him look bad.
The newly released memos show that the campaign lasted from February to December 1971 -- with Malek's involvement spanning the period -- and clearly targeted Jews, euphemistically called "ethnics."
Malek has remained involved in Republican politics, and chairs the "American Action Network," a group that Democrats says is aimed at targeting Democrats in this November's midterm elections.
Malek's spokesman, Mark Corallo, told the Washington Post that Malek "has made mistakes in his life for which he has apologized, atoned and learned from."
Democrats seemed determined not to let the matter go.
"With Malek leading an effort this year to target House Democrats, Republican Leaders must quickly decide whether to distance themselves from Malek and his troubling past or sit by and stay silent," said a statement Thursday from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) chided Republicans who said staked their claim to the Jewish vote because of the party's support for Israel.
"How can you accept money from someone who put Jews on Nixon's enemy list?" he told JTA.
Malek, in the course of making amends, has befriended Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who continue to defend him as having paid for his role in the Nixon purge.
Matthew Brooks, the director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, said Democrats were rehashing old news.
"The incident that everybody is upset about -- and rightly -- is a mistake he admits, and he has apologized," Brooks told JTA. "The guy's paid an unbelievable personal price for it. This is a sad character assassination."

Probability, Random Variables, and Random Processes. Theory and Signal Processing Applications
- Language: English
- 794 Pages
- Published: December 2012
A ground-breaking and practical treatment of probability and stochastic processes
A Modern Theory of Random Variation is a new and radical re-formulation of the mathematical underpinnings of subjects as diverse as investment, communication engineering, and quantum mechanics. Setting aside the classical theory of probability measure spaces, the book utilizes a mathematically rigorous version of the theory of random variation that bases itself exclusively on finitely additive probability distribution functions.
In place of twentieth century Lebesgue integration and measure theory, the author uses the simpler concept of Riemann sums, and the non-absolute Riemann-type integration of Henstock. Readers are supplied with an accessible approach to standard elements of probability theory such as the central limmit theorem and Brownian motion as well as remarkable, new results on Feynman diagrams and stochastic integrals.
Throughout the book, detailed numerical demonstrations accompany the discussions of abstract mathematical theory, from the simplest elements of the subject to the most complex. In addition, an array of numerical examples and vivid illustrations showcase

Park Avenue is a wide New York City boulevard[1] that carries north- and southbound traffic in the borough of Manhattan, and is also a wide one-way pair in the Bronx. For most of the road's length in Manhattan, it runs parallel to Madison Avenue to the west and Lexington Avenue to the east. Park Avenue's entire length was formerly called Fourth Avenue; the title still applies below 14th Street.[2] Meanwhile, the section between 14th and 17th Street is called Union Square East, and between 17th and 32nd Streets, the title Park Avenue South is used. In the Bronx, Park Avenue runs in several segments between Major Deegan Expressway and Fordham Road.[3]
Park Avenue was originally known as Fourth Avenue and carried the tracks of the New York and Harlem Railroad starting in the 1830s. The railroad originally built an open cut through Murray Hill, which was covered with grates and grass between 34th and 40th Street in the early 1850s. A section of this "park" was renamed Park Avenue in 1860. In 1867 the name applied all the way to 42nd Street. When Grand Central Depot was opened in the 1870s, the railroad tracks between 56th and 96th Streets were sunk out of sight and, in 1888, Park Avenue was extended to the Harlem River.
In 1936 the elevated Park Avenue Viaduct was built around the station to allow automobile traffic to pass unimpeded. In October 1937, a part of the Murray Hill Tunnel was reopened for road traffic. Efforts to promote a Grand Park Avenue Expressway to Grand Concourse in the Bronx were unavailing.[4]
A tradition was introduced in 1945 as a memorial to American soldiers killed in action, whereby Christmas trees are placed in the median section each December.[5]
On May 5, 1959, the New York City Council voted 20–1 to change the name of Fourth Avenue between 17th and 32nd Streets to Park Avenue South.[6] In 1963, the Pan Am Building, straddling Park Avenue atop Grand Central Terminal, was built between the automotive viaducts.
On March 12, 2014, two apartment buildings near 116th Street, 1644 and 1646 Park Avenue, were destroyed in a gas explosion. At least eight people are known to have died and many more are missing.[7]
The road that becomes Park Avenue originates as the Bowery. From Cooper Square at 8th Street to Union Square at 14th Street, it is known as Fourth Avenue, a 70 foot (21 m) – wide road carrying northbound traffic. At 14th Street, it turns slightly northeast to align with other avenues drawn up in the Commissioners' Plan of 1811. From 14th Street to 17th Street, it forms the eastern boundary of Union Square and is known as Union Square East; its southbound lanes merge with Broadway south of 15th Street, and the thoroughfare divides into two distinct portions in the one-block section between 14th and 15th Streets. From 17th Street to 32nd Street, it is known as Park Avenue South. Above 32nd Street, for the remainder of its distance, it is known as Park Avenue, a 140-foot-wide boulevard.
Between 33rd Street and 40th Street, the left-hand northbound lane descends into the Murray Hill Tunnel. Immediately across from 40th Street, the center lanes of Park Avenue rise onto an elevated structure that goes around Grand Central Terminal and the MetLife Building (formerly the PanAm Building), carrying each direction of traffic on opposite sides of the buildings. The bridge, one of two structures in Manhattan known as the Park Avenue Viaduct, returns to ground level at 46th Street after going through the Helmsley Building (also referred to as the New York Central Building or 230 Park Avenue). The IRT Lexington Avenue Line runs under this portion of the street. Once the line reaches Grand Central, it shifts east to Lexington Avenue.
As Park Avenue enters Midtown north of Grand Central Terminal, it is distinguished by many glass-box skyscrapers that serve as headquarters for corporations such as JPMorgan Chase at 270 Park Avenue and 277 Park Avenue, UBS at 299 Park Avenue, Citigroup, Colgate-Palmolive, and MetLife at the MetLife Building. Prior to July 2010, the eleven intersections between 46th Street and 56th Street were without the city's usual pedestrian crossing signals and overhead gantry-mounted traffic lights because the railroad tunnel ceiling, which is also the street, was not thick enough for their poles' foundations. (These intersections did, howeve,r have upright pole-mounted traffic lights prior to 2010, but there were no pedestrian signals. After 2010, standard gantry-mounted traffic lights and countdown pedestrian signals were installed.)[8][9]
From 47th to 97th Streets, Metro-North Railroad tracks run in a tunnel underneath Park Avenue (the Park Avenue Tunnel). In the 1920s the portion of Park Avenue from Grand Central Terminal to 96th Street saw extensive apartment building construction. This long stretch of the avenue contains some of the most expensive real estate in the world. Real estate at 740 Park Avenue, for example, sells for several thousand dollars per square foot.[10] Current and former residents in this stretch of the thoroughfare include Blackstone Group co-founder Stephen Schwarzman, former Morgan Stanley executive Zoe Cruz, private equity investor Ronald O. Perelman, John D. Rockefeller Jr., Vera Wang, and others. James Cash Penney lived at 888 and Leonard Bernstein at 898.
At 97th Street, the tracks come above ground, rising onto the other Manhattan structure known as the Park Avenue Viaduct. The first street to pass under the viaduct is 102nd Street; from there to the Harlem River the railroad viaduct runs down the middle of Park Avenue. Park Avenue in Manhattan ends north of 132nd Street, with connections to the Harlem River Drive. The avenue is continued on the other side of the river in the Bronx by the street just east of the railroad.
The flowers and greenery in the median of Manhattan's Park Avenue are privately maintained, by the Fund for Park Avenue. The begonia was specifically chosen by the Fund's gardeners because there is no automatic watering system and the floral variety is resilient under hot sun rays.[11]

About this location
The Provence region
The Var is one of the largest departments in France. From Montauroux and Lac de St Cassien on the eastern edge across to beyond Toulon in the west. From the coastal area of the Massif des Maures, towards Fréjus St Raphael, Sainte Maxime and St Tropez To the north, the region extends in to the mountain areas and the incredible beauty of the Pré-Alpes.
Tourrettes is another in a series of 'perched villages' which can be found in the Var department in Provence and offers fabulous panoramic views which extend out towards the Mediterranean Sea, which is located to the south of the village. Situated near to Feyance, another one of Affinity's most popular locations for French villa holidays, Tourrettes offers the perfect relaxing retreat to holiday makers, yet for those seeking adventure, there is still plenty of activities to try your hand at in the region. The village itself is a charming beauty, and has kept its original fortification, making it an extremely interesting place to get lost in whilst wandering around.
A nice day trip idea from your villa rental in the Var is located just below the village, where there is a gorge with a small stream which can keep you cool in the warm summer months. There are plenty of events to enjoy in the town during these summer months. For those searching for the perfect holiday villa, the Var offers a diverse holiday experience, ranging from pure relaxation, to discovering beautiful countryside.

GWS TM400, Pico Moth. Zero (Rufe) On Floats
A few pictures of my GWS Float plane fleet. started out with a Pico Moth with some built up floats it worked so well that I had to build up a couple of more planes. I next built a GWS Tiger Moth 400 (TM400) covered it with White Solite and Enlarged the floats to match the TM400 and covered them also with Solite. Built up a GWS Zero with Floats (Rufe). Got a chance to maiden them yesterday at a Club Float Fly. Both new planes have 400XT and Lipos. The TM400 turned out to be a real winner flew great and handled the breeze well, got many flights ot of it. The Zero (Rufe) tracked well and got up on step well and lifted off the water but pitched up once it broke water. I was not able to react quick enough to correct the flight attitude and it ditched in the water. I didn't get another chance to fly the Rufe may have suffered water damage to the ESC. Both the new plans had the ESC protected with Silicon Conformal Spray not Corrosion X but didn't seem to help with the dunking the Rufe got. Need to add some weight to the nose to correct the pitch problem and fix the ESC problem will try again. All my planes don't have water rudders. I will add water rudders to the TM400 and Rufe to help with the water handling in breezes. The two new planes got a good reception by the Club. The Pico Moth didn't handle the breeze well that we had yesterday but I now have a couple of planes to fly when the breezes are present.

WD is wonderfull stuff for cars and bikes but it does leave a oily residue that can build up ..............my father had a GS850 suzuki MC and he regularly sprayed the switch gear, till it started smoking one day .............. try to find a more speciallist electrical, moisture dispersant/cleaner with a corrosion inhibitor.
One treatment will no harm it but it does attack some rubber and plastics........... so wait to see what others say. Have you seen Led Kittys thread? and the nice art work at http://www.ne.jp/asahi/airplane/museum/index-E.html Ive couple of subject pic's |

Hi again Airboatflyingshp, I have the same feeling that you have about WD40 not being the best solution for spraying on Motors. I wouldn't use this on my motors. I did a search to see what else could be used and found this thread http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...ors+protection
Brooks mentioned that he uses WD40 to on his water plane motors so I guess there is another person who has used it. Be interesting to see if any one else has any suggested products that they have used. The Silicone Conformal Spray I used has a waxy feel and I dont think I would use it on motors. I wish I has seen Led Kittys threads before I worked on my Zero(Rufe), plenty of good reading in her threads and lots of prior experience to draw on. The Moth and Fairy 3f images you attached are nice would make some great models. I also enjoyed The Classic Airplane Museum site you suggested for inspiration. Isnt the Internet great and isnt it nice to know that there are many people that share our interests around the world? |
May 12, 2007, 01:00 PM | |
Wen it works well its fantastic .......................but its also sometimes frustrating and misleading...... its also very transitory if your looking for stuff. If you can clear the wd residues after a few appplicationsI cannot see a major problem it attracts particles and then thats where it starts to be a problem.
I cannoot remember but is that a Gypsy moth ? I have always liked the Puss Moth and the thought of one of those on floats or My DH71 is quite appealing.......... at first when I got the incomplete fuse and wing for some time I thought it might have been a Supermarine Schnieder... Ivan P pointed out the Dh clues. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=447286 |

AH&LA Applauds Wyoming OTA Sales and Lodging Tax RulingFriday April 4th, 2014 - 10:21AM W

WASHINGTON, DC—The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA), applauds yesterday's ruling by the Wyoming Supreme Court that online travel companies (OTCs) should remit sales and lodging tax on the full booking price of hotel rooms. "For many years, hotels across the country have been at a competitive disadvantage with their out-of-state competitors due to the lack of a system in place to provide tax parity, essentially subjecting them to a higher effective tax rate," stated AH&LA President/CEO Katherine Lugar. "[Yesterday's] ruling by the Wyoming Supreme Court corrects this and ensures that the state's hoteliers and OTCs operate on a level playing field, and that both remit sales and lodging taxes on the same retail rate. We are pleased that this decision ensures Wyoming hoteliers can now operate with the assurance they will not pay higher sales and lodging tax rates than the OTCs." According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Wyoming lodging industry is responsible for 11,378 jobs and $332 million in wages. As of July 2013, there were 392 lodging properties across the state, comprised of 26,381 rooms. Smith Travel Research (STR) reports that total tax revenue generated by the state's lodging industry in 2012 was $119.8 million. Tags: AH&LA • Wyoming Supreme Court • OTCs • Hospitality • |

Understanding /dev
If you wish to get every possible millisecond out of your system, there are a few things you should know about directories in UNIX file systems. (Though technically I'm talking about the implementation of the EXT2 file system, the points apply to almost all UNIX file systems.)
First note that though the command ls always displays the directory in a sorted order, directories are not stored with their entries sorted. Instead, each new entry is placed as close to the front of the directory as possible.
To find a file in a directory, the file name is compared with the first file in the directory. If it doesn't match, the second name is checked, and so on until either a match is found, or the end of the directory is reached. Consequently, if you have a large number of files in a directory and are frequently opening the last file in the directory, your CPU is doing a lot of comparisons. If, however, you could control the order of the entries, so as to place the most-frequently-used entries at the beginning of the directory, this would not be such an issue.
If you want to redo the internal ordering of the entries in /dev, boot from a floppy and then mount your primary file system. If your regular file system is mounted as /mnt, your regular device directory is /mnt/dev. Create a new directory called /mnt/dev2. Now you can move device files from /mnt/dev to /mnt/dev2. You will probably want to start with /mnt/dev/zero and /mnt/dev/null, as these two are opened far more frequently than any other devices.
If that sounds like a hassle, then don't bother with it. You probably won't notice any difference unless you are running on an old 386. Furthermore, the new directory cache under development in the 2.1.x kernel series will most likely make this a non-issue.

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.
