Woops, silly me!
Being successful has nothing to do with having a stable engine. There are countless games (in fact, most of the triple A titles out there) that proof that, the more successful a game is, the more bug-ridden it is.
@philip550c if you're playing any of those three games on a standard system (32 bit, multicore processor and a GPU that is a few years old), those 4 games will crash for you, too. (given, I haven' tried Kerbal in a while...3 to 4 months ago was the last time I tried to do something with it).

Having used a lot of Unigine and a bit of Unity....
I hope the following helps - assuming you want answers to your questions and not just to stage a pissing contest.
+ basic version is free and available to anybody with a windows or mac based computer. Though this is somewhat limited, pro version is something similar to a 12 month unigine license.
+ really strong community of hobbyists and commercial 3rd party solutions.
+ tools are very approachable by artists, can create something reasonable without requiring a coder.
+ quite a number of titles have shipped based on unity.
+ usability,polish are priorities
+ export to a lot of useful platforms
- scalability issues - once you get a certain size of project you will run into performance issues.
- multi person workflow not so great. really easy to break when using an off the shelf source management system.
- not as much control as as some people would like.
+ really good engine quality , bang for buck. To get better you need to go for Crysis or Unreal which cost quite a bit more to license.
+ source code can be had and is relatively affordable.
+ focus on making it possible to build really large worlds.
+ performance,coder control are priorities.
+ Linux is a first class citizen. You can make games using Unigine on Linux - you can't do this with unity.
+ mesh files are binaries, textures are image files, pretty much everything is xml files and the filesystem adding a unigine project to something like git,svn,perforce is trivial.
+ Unigine team is small and fairly responsive to customers.
+ support for a lot of platforms.
- you can't get access to unigine as a hobbyist.
- the artist tools - while getting better, do something to be desired.
- there is a much smaller labour pool for artists and coders that know Unigine. (this can be seen as a plus depending on your perspective).
Generally I think you will find that your project will either lend itself to one or the other.
Currently Unigine is your best bet if you want to author games using Linux.

I might also add that writing game code feels very unixy. Also if you are familiar with OpenGL and GLSL then the scripting language will feel very familiar.

The League of Intrapreneurs: Building Better Business from the Inside Out
Competition Information
Competition News
The verdict is in – the four winners of The League of Intrapreneurs: Building Better Business from the Inside Out have been selected. These winners are pioneering game-changing models for business and society. The winners will be profiled on Fast Company's blog, Co.EXIST, and will receive consulting support from Accenture Development Partnerships to further their work.
The top 15 entrants from this competition make up the inaugural class of the League of Intrapreneurs, an elite global network of changemakers. These entrants will also receive media and press recognition and will be featured in the publication of a globally distributed intrapreneur toolkit.
The IFC special focus prize for the entry that best integrates low-income populations at the base of the pyramid in its value chain has also been awarded to Tribanco. The IFC will provide advisory support best suited to support this entry's continued success.
Read about all of their solutions below. As always, we welcome your continued comments on all entries. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to receive updates on the latest in social innovation and to send us your feedback.
Welcome Letter
Do you work for a leading company? Are you responsible for launching a new initiative, product/service, or business model that is a force for good in the world? Would your colleagues describe you as someone who pushes boundaries and has the potential to be at the forefront of social change given the opportunity and resources? If so, you may be a social intrapreneur!
Social intrapreneurs are becoming instigators in the race towards a new kind of economy. These changemakers are developing innovative and scalable solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems ranging from health to education to environment. But contrary to social entrepreneurs, they are innovating from within some of the world's largest companies.
Delivering game-changing innovation inside a company is never easy, but it's even more challenging when the problems you're tackling – such as climate change or poverty – are not always well understood or overtly connected to the business strategy.
That is where you come in. Ashoka, the world's largest organization of social entrepreneurs, invites you to participate in a global competition – The League of Intrapreneurs: Building Better Business from the Inside Out, supported by Accenture, the convening sponsor. This competition seeks out social intrapreneurs within leading companies who are pioneering new ideas and projects that have the capacity to transform business and society. The best entries will be those that demonstrate social and/or environmental impact, offer an innovative solution or novel approach to a problem, and demonstrate strategic business opportunity.
The top 15 entrants from the competition will form the inaugural class of the League of Intrapreneurs, becoming part of an elite global network of changemakers. These entrants will also receive media and press recognition and will be featured in the publication of a globally distributed intrapreneur toolkit. Of this league, the top four winners will be profiled in Fast Company's blog, Co.EXIST, and will receive consulting support from Accenture Development Partnerships to further their work.
Competitive solutions may include those that target:
- Product innovation: socially and/or environmentally responsible product development
- Supply chain: innovative approaches to enhancing supplier or producer welfare; reduction in social or environmental footprint
- Human capital: processes or systems to harness employee talent and skills for corporate changemaking
- Business models: new models for reducing the environmental footprint of consumption and increasing social prosperity
We're looking for ideas that move beyond traditional corporate responsibility. Perhaps you've developed more affordable and appropriate pricing, or products to make a difference in the lives of low-income consumers. Maybe you've radically reduced your company's environmental footprint or are finding innovative ways of working with suppliers to increase the welfare of local producers. Or you may be changing the game through a radical re-imagining of your company's business model.
Tell us your story. How are you changing society from within the walls of your company? Submit your solution or nominate a project today!
Guidelines & Criteria
Who Should Enter
The competition is open to all intrapreneurs within companies around the world. Our aim is to find social intrapreneurs that rival our network of social entrepreneurs at Ashoka – individuals that demonstrate visionary leadership and have a profound commitment to societal change. As much as we're looking for people, we're also looking for outstanding ideas and projects. Entries should describe innovative solutions that offer transformational impact both for their companies and the world at large.
Entrant criteria
- Entrants may apply as individuals or teams; however, team submissions should have a single person submit their entry.
- Entrants may apply from any industry.
- Entrants must be from companies that have a for-profit status. Entries from nonprofits are not eligible.
- Preference will be given to intrapreneurs within companies that have a multi-country or global presence, as well as to intrapreneurs working for the SMEs (small- and medium-sized enterprises) in these multinationals' value chains.
- Preference will be given to entries that show a strong alignment with strategic business drivers.
- We can only accept entries in English, Spanish, Portuguese or French.
- We will look for a diversity of entries in terms of project stage (e.g., idea, pilot, venture, business unit) as well as the target beneficiary of the project (e.g., developing vs. developed countries)
How do we evaluate the intrapreneur?
We're looking for social intrapreneurs who will transform the world through new products, services and business models. These individuals are fueled by a healthy impatience for the status quo. They don't take no for an answer, but rather build support and consensus for new ideas. They take a long-term view, understanding the interconnections between business success and community prosperity.
Entries should highlight:
- Visionary thinking: An ability to think creatively and conceptually about society's toughest problems – be able to merge business and societal agendas.
- Commitment to society: Demonstrate a long-standing commitment to changing the world.
- Corporate mastery: Show sophistication for creating change from within big business (e.g., ability to work across silos, generate buy-in around ideas, build communities of support both internally and externally).
Assessment Criteria
Winners of The League of Intrapreneurs: Building Better Business from the Inside Out will be those that best meet the following criteria:
This is the knock-out test. The entrant must describe an innovative idea or project that is truly a corporate game-changer. The best entries will be those that demonstrate a substantial difference from other initiatives in the field.
Social Impact
The solution has (or will have) powerful outcomes on society – positively and directly impacting the lives of people and/or having a positive impact on the natural environment. Entries must show an understanding of the anticipated social and/or environmental impact. The best solutions will have clear potential for scale and replication.
Financial Sustainability
For an idea or program to be truly effective, it must have a plan to exist and grow well into the future – a plan to sustain itself. Innovations will be judged on their long-term vision for increasing impact and creating lasting change. Entries should describe how they are currently leveraging company resources to support their work, what sort of momentum they have for the idea or program within their company, and how they plan to grow and sustain their idea or initiative into the future.

Agreed-poor 3d support
Can you give an example?-no decent GUI configuration
Most open drivers don't need any GUI configuration, and there are GUI xrandr frontends for changing resolution, configuring multi-head setups, and the like.
I don't blame nvidia for this, it's only to expected that they'll start working on Wayland compatibility only after it's widely used. So while a transitional, open drivers only period is to be expected it does bring some problems:
-terrible power management in all open drivers,
-poor 3d support
-no decent GUI configuration
Maybe all this will bring more attention to open drivers and if resources follow it might actually help speed their development up...
Agreed-poor 3d support
Can you give an example?-no decent GUI configuration
Most open drivers don't need any GUI configuration, and there are GUI xrandr frontends for changing resolution, configuring multi-head setups, and the like.
I hope they don't support Wayland... Ever. Did anyone ever hear of "If it ain't broke, then don't fix it."? Seriously, X has worked for 24 years and it has never been displaced for a reason. It is extendable, reliable, and networking. I use X's network transparency every day. I don't see why people wouldn't want this feature. More than anything, X needs X12, not Wayland. A serious overhaul, while retaining backward compatibility, is by far the best solution, in my opinion. Wayland has many, many fundamental flaws. First and foremost, what about the many people that still use X's network transparency? Second, what about the people that *can't* use compositing because their graphics card doesn't support it, or their CPU is far too slow? Third, forcing compositing will greatly degrade 3D performance, as shown in numerous Phoronix benchmarks. Fourth, what about the users of BSD, Solaris, OS X, and Windows (with Xming)? I just wish people would remember why we still have X 24 years later... Oh, actually, the first place issue is the drivers... What about all the older drivers, and the proprietary drivers, should we just leave them out in the cold?
-there's no serious work on 'x12' that's one of the reasons for wayland
-a lot functionality from x should and will become a part of wayland in the future, it's still at an early phase
-composting gives performance boost with some drivers, so it's not that simple
-even Nvidia TNT or Voodoo 3 support OpenGL... it's really really hard to find hardware without any openGL support on desktops... seriously what? Mach64?
In theory it should be possible to add modesetting to nvidia/fglrx kernel modules and trigger that mode maybe using a module option. To support older x servers they will still need to support ums by default. kms look nice when it is working, definitely smoother than switching from vesa to X with text mode/splash screens but to be fair it is not much more than a tiny glich. There is no need to use wayland which might be interesting for devices with very low mem, but i don't know if the memory savings are worth the hassle. There are much bigger ram consumers, like the nvidia 260 series driver - when you want to use vdpau on systems with low memory you need very much swap space currently, you could not gain that amount while just using wayland. nvidia should better optimize the new driver for ram usage, would be better for all...

When a new banana import policy is implemented in 1993 by the European Union, Chiquita Brands International, the world's largest banana distributor, watches its sales and net income plummet. The policy, Council Regulation (EEC 404/93), uses a new tariff and quota scheme to support the import of European territory bananas and significantly reduce Latin American banana imports, Chiquita's primary business. As a result, Chiquita sustains losses totaling $400 million between 1992 and 1994. To combat the EU policy, Chiquita files a Section 301 Petition with the U.S. Trade Representative. Yet CEO Keith Linde knows that even a successful 301 investigation can produce only medium-to long-term results. In 1995, Chiquita still faces the immediate necessity of improving the company's grim financial position.
learning objective:
Provides a sharp example of how politics affects trade, and trade affects politics. Demonstrates not only the impact of this particular regulation of Chiquita's global business, but also how the banana market has, since the days of United Fruit in Latin America, been shaped and buffeted by distinctly political forces.

Does any software applications on Linux support GPGPU or OpenCL?
Does GIMP or Blender support GPGPU or OpenCL?
Phoronix: Running OpenCL On The GPU With Gallium3D
With all of the recent improvements going into Mesa/Gallium3D, along with some work advancements to the AMD GPU LLVM back-end, it's slowly becoming a suitable time for enthusiasts wishing to experiment with OpenCL on the open-source Linux graphics stack through Gallium3D and the "Clover" state tracker...
Does any software applications on Linux support GPGPU or OpenCL?
Does GIMP or Blender support GPGPU or OpenCL?
Blender does support GPU rendering with their Cycles Render Engine. There is work on openCL in gegl (the library that new versions gimp uses for graphics operations), but i am not sure what state it is in. Darktable also has openCL.
In other words, it MUST be supported by both AMD and Intel **open source** drivers, AND have a solid CPU fallback, before software developers can trust in its availability.
I'm just saying that "nobody can run OpenCL" is not a good argument. Plenty of people can already, others will follow as open drivers mature.
i think right now it makes more sense for developers to invest time in openMP if they want to target a wide audience. dual cores are now standard on laptops and desktops, and quad and oct are not rare. Often adding just a few prama statements to the loops that do most of the processing can give big speed ups. OpenCL (and CUDA) only work on a smaller subset of algorithms, and are more effort to program and debug (though if you have a problem that suits them you can get huge speed ups).
I'd also suspect that foss software developers are more likely to be using opensource drivers than typical linux users. They are more likely to have chosen hardware with drivers in mind. they are more likely to be using opensource for philosophical reasons. and they might like to be able to debug kernel crashes.
Two accelerated applications which haven't been mentioned: Bitcoin mining, aircrack-ng.
There's also open-source CPU-based OpenCL implementations already available.
The OpenCL run-times (closed and open) I know about:
AMD's run-time is included in the catalyst driver (they have a separate SDK for devs)
Nvidia includes their run-time in their binary driver (they have a separate SDK for devs)
Qualcomm supposedly ships a runtime for some of their GPUs
Same for some PowerVR/Adreno chips
MacOS X 10.6 and higher all come with both GPU (when the hardware supports it) and CPU-based CL implementations.
For those who've actually paid khronos for compliance testing, there's a page of valid conformance runs here:
One that I didn't expect in that page:

Reed Hastings founded Netflix with a vision to provide a home movie service that would do a better job satisfying customers than the traditional retail rental model. But as it encouraged challenges it underwent several major strategy shifts, ultimately developing a business model and an operational strategy that were highly disruptive to retail video rental chains. The combination of a large national inventory, a recommendation system that drove viewership across the broad catalog, and a large customer base made Netflix a force to be reckoned with, especially as a distribution channel for lower-profile and independent films. Blockbuster, the nation's largest retail video rental firm, was initially slow to respond, but ultimately rolled out a hybrid retail/online response in the form of Blockbuster Online. Aggressive pricing pulled in subscribers, but at a price to both it and Netflix. But a new challenge was on the horizon: video-on-demand. How should Netflix respond?
learning objective:
To support a discussion on disruptive vs. sustaining innovations, examine jobs-bases segmentation, and look at emergent strategy development.

Social Security Number: A social security card should
be obtained by each student. It will be your identification number
necessary for establishing a banking account, acquiring a driver's
license, paying taxes or getting paid. To learn more about applying for
a card and to download an application,
click here. When filling out the application, check "legal
alien allowed to work." Please note: you need to wait 10
days after you initial entry to apply. With the application, you must
submit a letter from the International Student Adviser, verifying your
student status at the University. The Social Security Office is located
on 2414 Northgate Drive, Suite 1, Salisbury, MD 21801, (410)749-2101.

Driver's License: A driver's license is also commonly
used as identification. You can drive in the United States with your
home license for one year, after that a U.S. license will be required.
In order to receive a license, you must go to the Motor Vehicle
Administration in person, with a valid passport, a valid visa, your
Social Security Card and 2 proof of residency forms (i.e., a major
credit card bill, a bank statement, or utility bill). If you have
a license from home, you will have to pass the vision examination, as
well as the written and practical tests. You will also have to
take a three-hour drug and alcohol awareness class before you can
receive your license: the class costs $35 and the cost of a license is
If you do not have a driver's license from home, the process for
obtaining a Maryland Driver's License becomes much more complicated.
First you must apply for a Learner's Permit. You will have to pass
vision and driving knowledge exams to receive a learner's permit. While
using the permit, you will have to drive with another person in the car,
someone who is over 18 years old and has had his/her license for at
least three years. This supervising driver must complete a practice log
for you, which will be issued by the Motor Vehicle Administration along
with your learner's permit. The cost of a learner's permit is $45; it
includes the driver's license you will receive later. In addition, you
must complete a standardized driver education course. These courses are
offered by private businesses and include both classroom and behind the
wheel instruction. The cost is approximately $250. After four months
driving with your learner's permit, a documented log of at least 40
hours of supervised driving, and a certificate proving you have
successfully completed the driver education course, you may apply for
your provisional drivers license. You will be required to take a behind
the wheel skills test and if you pass, you will receive your provisional
license. At this point, you will be allowed to drive alone in a vehicle.
After holding your provisional license for 18 months without any
violations you will qualify for Maryland's full driver's license. As you
can see, obtaining this license is a lengthy and costly process. IF AT
ALL POSSIBLE, obtain a driver's license at home before you begin your
studies at SU.
Driver's licenses have to be renewed every five years. The cost is $30.
Booklets for studying the written materials are available in the
International Student Advisor's office. And since the procedures change
from time to time, please make sure you have the latest information
before taking the trip. The Motor Vehicle Administration is located on
Route 50 and Tilghman Road in Salisbury, (800)950-1682.
International Drivers License: you can obtain an
International Driver's License in your home country. That license will
have a limited validity, so please make sure you know the expiration
date. Once your International Driver's License expires, you will have to
renew it in home country, or obtain a US license.
Telephone System: All numbers in the United States
have a three digit area code number, and a seven digit number. To call a
long distance number, dial 1+area code+seven digit number. If you are
calling from campus, dial 9+1+area code+seven digit number. SU has an
internal telephone system. If you are calling another office or room ON
CAMPUS, you only need to dial the last five digits of the seven digit
number (each building on campus is equipped with pay phones as well as
on-campus phones that do not require depositing money).
Coin operated telephones cost 35 cents per local call. There are some
numbers that can be reached without depositing money. These are:
(0) - operator, who can help make connections and answer questions,
(911) - emergency,
(411) - directory assistance for local calls only,
(800) - all 800 numbers are toll free numbers.
There are several companies specializing in long distance and
international calls. These companies offer a variety of services and
should be picked by students based on individual needs. After
establishing an account, the company will issue a calling card and an
access number for each customer; bills are issued on a monthly basis.
Telephone books are very important sources of information, and are
usually divided into four parts: residential numbers (white), government
numbers (blue), business numbers ("white pages") and business numbers
with advertisements included ("yellow pages"). Telephone books are
widely available, and provide other important information, such as area
codes for the United States, time zones, directions for international
calls, information on telephone companies, etc.
Students living on campus must take the responsibility of establishing
an account with the Cashier's office, where they will receive a PIN
number upon depositing a minimum of $25. Misuse of the telephone will
result in disciplinary action, so you should not give your PIN
number to anyone else.
It is generally appropriate to call someone at home between 10:00 am
and 9:00 pm. If you are using someone else's phone to make a call, it is
polite to ask for permission first, especially before calling any long
distance numbers.
E-mail System: Novell Network computer
accounts are available to all current students, free of charge. It
allows access to the computer network software packages, electronic
mail, the Internet and networked file storage. Student monitors,
student consultants and the Information Technology staff members at the

Soapsuds Hollow: Snow, egg coffee and winter memories
Winter arrived in Dell Rapids last week with an inch or less of snow. It didn't last, but we all got that stark reminder that we live in the North.Most of the soybeans have been harvested, but there is still quite a bit of corn in the fields, and local famers must be anxious for the ground to dry a bit so they can get back in the combines.Snowy mornings should be holidays, expecially the first snowfalls of the season. Everyone should go outside and catch a snowflake on their tongue, then go back indoors and drink coffee.Kids are probably lining up their snow shoveling jobs now that we have had our winter wake-up call. I had some great customers when I shoveled snow as a kid. When I shoveled the walks at Bill and Beth Vogt's house, part of the task was to clean the snow off of Bill's car, which occupied the driveway in front of their single garage. But, that little bit of extra service was rewarded with a tip and some of Beth's baked goods.
After cleaning the walks at Begansky's house, I was often fortunate enough to get a cup of Betty's egg coffee - a real treat for a German-Irish teen whose only Scandinavian background was simply that I lived four miles from Baltic.We would have to set the alarm plenty early to get the businesses cleared of snow before the grader showed up to clean the street. Those guys were really early back then. Downtown Dell Rapids was a busy, bustling little mecca, and you just couldn't mess around with snow removal when we had diagonal parking.I'm going to take the egg coffee recipe to the coffee shop at Fourth and LaDelle. Although I love their Red Eye, I'm hoping I can convince them to keep some eggs in the fridge so they can brew some of that great egg coffee for me. Uff-da, that stuff is good!

Washington (CNN) — The United States could keep between 6,000 and 15,000 troops in Afghanistan after the official 2014 NATO withdrawal, say officials familiar with plans submitted to the Pentagon by the current U.S. commander in that country, Gen. John Allen.
Allen was tasked with developing an overarching plan for how U.S. forces will leave Afghanistan over the next two years, as well as solidifying a post-international combat troop presence. Now he has offered three distinctive options for the president, according to senior defense officials.
The officials said Allen's plans -- created with input from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's office, the Joint Staff, the U.S. Central Command, and the White House -- would give President Barack Obama options based on what he is looking to do in Afghanistan.
The plans are awaiting official approval from Panetta, the officials said.
According to the officials:
The low-end option calls for 6,000 to 6,500 troops that would be strictly for counterterrorism operations: hunting down Taliban and al Qaeda members and cells still operating around the country. This would require mostly Special Operations Forces, with a limited number of support troops and only a very small amount of training assistance for Afghan forces.
The mid-range option, involving around 10,000 troops, would still have the main focus on counterterrorism operations, but it would have a bigger training footprint for Afghan forces, with most of the focus on Special Operations troops and a limited amount of conventional troop training.
The 15,000-troop option would bring in a greater number of conventional troops for training Afghan Security Forces, as well as a bigger support element in addition to the counterterrorism forces.
The defense officials said planning for the post-2014 troop presence is still not complete, but it is very close. They said they expect next week's visit of Afghan President Hamid Karzai to involve conversations discussing these options. Officials said Karzai and Panetta are expected to meet at some point.
Last spring, NATO and the Afghan government agreed on a plan for the United States and international forces to end the NATO mission in Afghanistan and hand over full security responsibility of the country to the Afghan government. At the end of last September -- as the final troops added during the "surge" that Obama ordered in December 2009 left Afghanistan -- the president ordered Allen to assess the situation in the country and develop an exit strategy.
Defense officials said that Allen had to develop a post-2014 security plan before he could determine how fast troops could be withdrawn over the next two years, to ensure stability throughout the exit.
The capability of Afghan security forces has long been in question, with slow improvement in the military, and the Afghan police force lagging far behind. A December 2012 assessment of the security forces, which looked at a snapshot from between the spring and summer, showed that only one of the Afghan Army's 23 brigades was able to operate on its own, without U.S. military air or ground troop support.
Military analysts who closely watch Afghan operations say that while Allen has not yet made a recommendation for the pace of the force withdrawal, he is expected to suggest pulling troops out at a slower rate than the president would want.
One senior Defense official told CNN the United States is expecting the Afghan government to allow legal protections for U.S. troops who remain in Afghanistan after the NATO mission ends in 2014.
The refusal by the Iraq government to extend legal protections for U.S. troops after the end of the war in Iraq was a major reason the United States left the country with no residual military training force.
The Afghan plans come as Allen prepares to leave Afghanistan in early February in a regular command rotation. Taking over for him will be Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford.
Allen was nominated to take over as head of the U.S. European Command, becoming the top military commander for NATO forces. In that role, he was expected to be a key adviser on Afghanistan through its NATO allies. But his nomination is on hold while he is being investigated for alleged improper e-mail communications with a Tampa, Florida socialite, Jill Kelley.

School security measures beefed up; lockdown drill held in Rochester
Friday, January 11, 2013
ROCHESTER — The Rochester School Board heard from the superintendent on the district's state of security at all schools in the district Thursday night.
After the Newtown, Conn., shooting incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School where 26 people were fatally shot and killed by a gunman, including 20 young children, in early December, a rumor circulated around the Rochester high school that a student planned to bring a weapon to campus. The rumor was later dispelled by school administrators and Rochester police who determined the matter to be a "Facebook hoax," but the school's homecoming celebration was canceled and staff were placed at the front entrance to manually allow people in. Hopkins said Spaulding High still has greeters at the door today to let students in, and administrators have also stopped students from exiting buildings to take shortcuts to get to their next class.
Hopkins also took the School Board through a slide show where he pointed out the new school's video systems, where front desk workers can look at a monitor on their desk and use their discretion to buzz people in. He noted most of the time, secretaries recognize the people at the entrance.

The Inn on Randolph - A Napa Valley Boutique Bed and Breakfast Inn
For five years I searched for the perfect property. A Napa Bed and Breakfast that I could restore and transform. A place where my friends and I would love to stay. A place where, when you walk through the front door, you smile, say "Ahhhh," and know you've made the right choice.
...a historic inn that is everything but old.
In 2012 we lovingly renovated, room by room, the Inn on Randolph to make it a special place for you; a completely modern Napa Bed and Breakfast that honors the property's historic roots. Whether you stay in our historic 1860's Victorian (where we have definitely taken the old out of Victorian) or one of the adjacent private cottages, you will find the personal touches and amenities that we feel are important for a fabulous getaway. Beautiful, rich furnishings in soothing colors and yummy fabrics. Luxurious, cozy linens on beds you just can't wait to crawl into. Modern, graceful bathrooms you just want to hang out in, and elegant shared spaces where you can socialize over a glass (or two) of incredible Napa wine. Most importantly, you will find all of this just steps from all the things you came to Napa to experience...incredible restaurants, wine tasting, outdoor adventures, the river promenade, music...and fun!
Our Napa Bed and Breakfast Inn
The original 19th century property, located in Napa's historic district, sits on nearly an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens with a variety of colors, textures and hideaways. The grounds provide the perfect place to unwind with a great book, have a couples massage, host an intimate wedding, family gathering or corporate event. Or enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine meandering the stone paths in the temperate Napa climate.
Our Accommodations
We like to think we offer the best of both worlds. We know that sometimes you are searching for a romantic getaway or maybe a few days away with old friends. Other times you are searching for a place to host a girl's weekend, a family reunion or a business retreat. Regardless, with our Historic Residence, five cottages, multiple garden spaces and hideaways, the Spa Room for private treatments and the Neiman Room for private events, we have the room for you!
Executive Chef Paul Fields is producing some of the freshest and most inspiring breakfasts in the Napa Valley. Sourcing from the inn's abundant gardens Chef is creating innovative fare that is organic and sustainable whenever possible, and always gluten free.
In the Press
Wall Street Journal, November 2013
A New Crop of Bed and Breakfasts....They kept the historic wainscoting and hardwood floors, but replaced the old-fashioned décor with more modern equivalents. Named the Inn on Randolph, the B&B opened in May 2012.
Forbes Travel Guide, May 2013
Napa's more residential streets are where you'll find a host of Victorian-era bed-and-breakfasts, including one revamped inn that stands out with its decidedly lace-and-doily-free aesthetic. New owner Karen Lynch reopened Inn on Randolph last year after a massive renovation that preserved the historic home's architectural integrity but banished every last teddy bear. The result is a thoroughly modern inn with 10 next-generation guest rooms boasting luxuries like heated bathroom floors. Need further proof that this isn't your grandma's B-and-B? The gourmet kitchen just so happens to be gluten-free.
Huffington Post - 6 Doily Free B&Bs, April 2013
Whether you stay in one of the historic rooms or private cottages at the Inn on Randolph, you will experience tranquility at this oasis of sumptuous elegance. This 1860s Victorian is dressed in soothing colors and modern décor, while the airy rooms are warm and feature luxurious bathrooms with spa tubs and heated floors, fireplaces, and fine bed linens.

K.O.S. Secret Operations
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
K.O.S – Secret Operations Overview
K.O.S. Secret Operations is a tactical MMOFPS game by DontBlynk. Like most shooters, K.O.S.'s core gameplay is remarkably similar to other games in the genre, but even so, K.O.S. does manage to differentiate itself from other shooters to a degree. The game's most notable features are its top-notch graphics, great map designs and sleek interface. Even though K.O.S. doesn't have nearly as many features as more well known shooters like Combat Arms and WolfTeam, it's still well worth checking out, especially for those that are burned out on the more established MMOFPS games. The game's six starting characters are:
707th Special Missions Unit – The premier counter-terrorism unit of the Republic of Korea. Bonus: three additional bullets with sniper rifles.
Green Beret- The most elite fighting force of the United States and arguably the world. Bonus: 10% Increased grenade and knife damage. Increased knife range.
Military Police Special Service Company – They are an elite branch of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense. Bonus: three additional bullets with shotguns.
SAT - The anti-terrorism branch of the Japanese military. Bonus: five additional bullets with rifles and pistols.
Vympel – An elite arm of the Russian Federation's military. Bonus: ten additional bullets with SMG/MG weapons and slight bonus to armor piercing.
Ministry of People's Armed Forces – A branch of the North Korean armed forces. Bonus: 10% bonus piercing damage with rifles.

K.O.S – Secret Operations Full Review
By Omer Altay
K.O.S. Secret Operations (KOS for short) is yet another tactical MMOFPS game in an extremely crowded genre. Heck, nearly every publisher these days has their own MMOFPS game, which is a bit silly as all MMO shooters are practically identical, and K.O.S. is no exception. To be fair, K.O.S. does have several unique features and is actually one of the better looking (graphically speaking) MMOFPS games out there. If you're looking for a new MMOFPS game to play, K.O.S. is well worth checking out. Just don't expect anything revolutionary, as the gameplay in K.O.S. is remarkably similar to other tactical MMOFPS's (like Combat Arms, WolfTeam and Sudden Attack).
Character Creation
I don't normally discuss character creation in MMOFPS games, as frankly there normally isn't anything worth mentioning, but to my surprise K.O.S. takes a unique approach to character creation. The game has a total of twelve playable 'characters' of which six must be unlocked. Aside from each character having a unique model, each character also has a special bonus. For example, Green Berets deal 10% increased damage with grenades and knives while SATs have five additional bullets with rifles and pistols. Although these bonuses don't impact the game to a great extent, it's still an interesting feature that other games should adopt. The secret characters are also an interesting feature that few games have.
The character creation isn't all good though. The game's official site boasts that K.O.S. allows each player to have a distinctly different character, but that unfortunately isn't the case. Visually speaking, every member of the same faction looks practically identical. It seems like the only game to actually put effort into customizable avatars is BattleField Heroes, and that's a shame, as every MMOFPS would be benefit from better customization.
Unique Features? Like What?
Even though the core gameplay in K.O.S. is identical to that of every other major MMOFPS game out there, it does have some interesting features, one of my favorites being the wagering system. K.O.S. allows players to put their money where their mouth is when they smack talk other players, as the game has a built in system for placing bets on matches. Skilled players should be able to make a boatload of crones (the game's currency) simply by beating their opponents after making a wager. Another neat feature in K.O.S. is that health bars are actually displayed on top of team mates. I know this may seem trivial, but serious MMOFPS gamers will certainly appreciate this little feature, as it makes coordinating with teammates infinitely easier in both clan battles and regular games.
Perhaps the best aspect of K.O.S. is its extremely detailed and sleek interface. The game's radar is without a doubt the best-looking radar of any MMO shooter. Once again, this may seem trivial, but MMOFPS fans will absolutely love this feature. So many FPS games these days use the generic circular radar in the corner of the screen that only vaguely displays the location of nearby team mates and enemies with confusing dots. The radar in K.O.S. is completely different, as it very clearly shows not only the location of your team mates but also the terrain in full color and labeling. Simply put, the radar rocks.
This looks A LOT like Counter-Strike!
One interesting fact about K.O.S. Secret Operations is that the game is actually based off the 'Source' engine. Yes, that's the same engine that Valve's created and uses in Counter-Strike Source and Half Life 2. I didn't know this when I first started to play K.O.S., as it wasn't advertised anywhere on the game's official site, but I ended up Googling it after having playing the game for a bit because the menus in K.O.S. were 100% identical to the menus in Half Life 2, and it couldn't have been a coincidence. My Google quest also revealed that K.O.S. is called 'Sting Online' in Japan and Korea and is actually moderately popular overseas. Those looking for a good free alternative to Counter-Strike Source should look no further, as K.O.S. is based off the same engine.
Awesome Maps
In my opinion, one aspect of K.O.S. that really stood out is its wonderfully designed maps. The game's maps are extremely detailed, and each has countless hiding spots and numerous different corridors to explore which helps keep the game fresh. Another interesting part of the game's map design is that maps sometimes include birds or dogs that are designed to enhance the scenery, but unlike traditional ol' 'scenary' animals, these are the type that can be shot at and killed. Sure, none of this has any impact on gameplay, but it's still a nice touch of detail. It's clear that the game's developers put a lot of effort into map design.
A Chocolate Chip Muffin is Still Just a Muffin
The one complaint I have with every single 'tactical' MMOFPS is that they're all remarkably similar, and unfortunately K.O.S. is no different. Some games like WolfTeam and War Rock at least try to be different, but K.O.S. doesn't even make that effort. This is actually a recurring complaint I have with most tactical MMOFPS games, as they're all way too similar. No one of sound mind can claim that they love K.O.S. but hate Combat Arms or love Sudden Attack but not Operation 7, as they're essentially the same game minus a few minor details. Still, K.O.S. is one of the better free MMOFPS games out there and well worth checking out, especially for those gamers who enjoy shooting games and have played all of the other major releases.
Final Verdict – Good
Even though K.O.S. Secret Operations is similar to other MMOFPS games, it's still one of the most polished and graphically impressive shooters out there. The game's only drawback is its few game modes and lack of customizable weapons. A few gameplay glitches also hurt the game, most notably bumping into other players causes lag.

Call of the Killer Whale
The most complex marine species on the planet, our counterparts in the sea, are the orca, the ruler of the ocean. They are the most widely distributed marine mammal in the world. Their realm extends from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Orcas, also called killer whales, number fewer than 100,000 worldwide, and learning more about them is a global endeavor for Jean-Michel Cousteau and his team of explorers, who travel to both the northern and southern hemispheres as they seek out killer whales in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

ListStore#replaceAll doesn't reflect on removed filters
I think that the method com.sencha.gxt.data.shared.ListStore#replaceAll is missing "else" part like
if (isFiltered()) { ... } else { visibleItems.addAll(newItems); }
14 Nov 2011 2:31 AM #2
My workaround for this:
new ListStore(props.id()) { @Override public void replaceAll(List newItems) { super.replaceAll(newItems); applyFilters(); } };
14 Nov 2011 8:07 AM #3
Can you post a code sample demonstrating the issue? I'm unable to confirm using this test case:
private static class Data { private static int nextId = 0; public final String id = String.valueOf(nextId++); public String name; public int number; } private class DataKeyProvider implements ModelKeyProvider<Data> { @Override public String getKey(Data item) { return item.id; } } private Data data(String name) { Data m = new Data(); m.name = name; return m; } public void testReplaceAllFiltered() { ListStore<Data> store = new ListStore<Data>(new DataKeyProvider()); store.add(data("abc")); store.add(data("def")); StoreFilter<Data> f = new StoreFilter<TestListStore.Data>() { @Override public boolean select(Store<Data> store, Data parent, Data item) { return item.name.startsWith("a"); } }; store.addFilter(f); store.setEnableFilters(true); assertEquals(1, store.size()); store.replaceAll(Arrays.asList(data("aeiou"), data("apple"), data("xyz"))); assertEquals(2, store.size()); store.removeFilter(f); assertEquals(3, store.size()); }
14 Nov 2011 11:09 AM #4
Try to bind a StoreFilterField with a Grid and
1. Load store data
2. Type filter query
3. Reload the store with another data set
4. Press backspace until StoreFilterField is empty
5. Reload the store with another data set
I came to the situation where after calling store.replaceAll(newData) I see in the store filters.size() == 0 and allItems.size() == newData.size() and visibleItems.size() == 0. The grid remains empty forever.

Thanks, I'll get back to you when I have a functioning test case that can reproduce this. If you can build a working test case/entrypoint that demonstrates this, we'll have a fix that much more quickly.
14 Nov 2011 2:29 PM #6
Okay, got it - there are almost certainly more cases where this is broken, possibly ListStore.addAll, and probably TreeStore has more.
SVN now has a set of tests, and fixes for several cases in ListStore where this crops up.
Thank you for reporting this bug. We will make it our priority to review this report.

These shoes are cute, but very uncomfortable. Maybe would be better with someone that has a narrow foot.
On only my second day of wearing these shoes which were supposed to be pink, but turned out nude, the rubber heel fell off and was lost. I now have to take them to a cobbler since they cannot be returned as "new" or "unopened".
I bought the black pumps and they worked perfect with my slacks for work. Fit true to size. And pictures were accurate to the onsite images.
This is a super cute shoe. Not as comfortable as I had hoped for.
This is such a cute and retro shoe and very comfortable to wear.
The heel was a little higher than I wanted. The material also seemed a little cheap. It was priced right for what you got, but ultimately I returned them because they didn't fit completely comfortably.
It's a very cute shoe I really like it and it's comfy would recommend to anyone not use to wearing a heel
This is a good dress shoe. I really like that it is very shiny matching my purse and wallet. This shoe is an easy fit and exactly what I expected for the size. The only disappointment I experienced is the heel is higher than I expected. I thought it would be 1 1/2 inches and it is more like 2 1/2 inches. It makes a difference to me as I have foot problems and was looking for a shorter heal. Maybe I will get used to them after some wear. Right now my feet hurt.
I purchased these for a 20s themed costume party and they were perfect. I got a bunch of compliments on them and was able to wear them all night. I would recommend insoles to anyone planning on wearing them for over 3 hrs, because the balls of your feet will get sore.
So disappointed. They look like seconds that the company coul not sell. Would never have bought these in the store if I could have sen the lack of quality.

- Switch from drilling to driving instantly!
- Just drill the pilot hole, slip on the Insty-Driver and drive home the screws.
- Components are engineered to meet the highest standards for use in industrial applications.
- All Rockler/Insty-Drive bits are precision-ground high speed steel that resist wear and overheating, thus keeping a sharp edge longer.
- Bits can be resharpened easily on a bench grinder.
- Inluded self-centering bits ensure accurate hinge and hardware installation every time.
- Countersink has a 4 flute design for smooth, clean holes that do not require sanding.
- Taper drill bit is adjustable to match length of screw and is held with 1 or 2 hex set screws.
How the Rockler/Insty-Drive System Works:
- Step 1: Drill the pilot hole with the countersink bits or the self-centering bits, which both have a hex shank to prevent slipping.
- Step 2: Slip on the Rockler Insty-Driver which fits over Rockler countersink and self-centering bits. Magnetic tip holds all 1/4'' style insert bits and screws.
- Step 3: Drive home the screws. Then slip off the Insty-Driver and do it again. You'll get fast and accurate hardware installation every time!

Another way is invitation. But thats about it, I have no other ideas...
Perhaps,.. community verification with verification history is good way..
For example, someone registers here and posts.
If he is newbie and posts are ok, then existing members vote for his trust. This vote is recorded on those who vote as well.
For example, newbie needs 25 points to acknowledge he is human. Members vote only on meaningful posts and only once on post. The members can also do opposite - mark him as spammer with one click.
Once he gains needed amount - he is a member and limitations are lifted off.
Lets assume he is reality is human spammer, automatic spammers are banned fast by method above.
When he starts spamming, he is reported here in this thread as spammer to forum moderator. We already have much less spammers with this method.
The moderator will also see those who voted him up and decide on their status, for example if they upvote same persons that turned around to be spammers. This decision however is best let to human with good logic.
What do you think about it?
The hardest spam is human-made.
Autoregistrations can be prevented with good captcha. Thats 99% of volume.
%1 will have to rely on CAE to pass this barrier and this will cost spammer 0.01$ already for each bot.
Now, if he is able to generate more profit than loss, we loose. Otherwise its not economical for him and we win.
The money system will damage him by monetary side - it instantly charges him with 1$, total 1.01$.
If he does not generate more than 1$ profit, he is at loss.
Downside - yes, many people may not have the money for one-time registration, so it might be difficult.
The trust system approaches from different side - by increasing the moderator attention hundredfold.
It will require him to post something that makes sense. Otherwise his links will not work.
The voting by already trusted members will resolve "need more moderators" problem. All established users are moderators.
If some user misuses his right and downvotes the good post - he will be traceable. Same way, if group of already established users upvote a spammer, they will be traceable.
This method will allow to dispatch whole wine grape of spammers instead fighting the singular cases.
The downside is that implementing this method is complex investment.
But the third option - have more moderators, makes no sense.
Not many people are happy to generate useless posts and report him.
Michael himself does not have so much time.
And hiring an army of anti-spam moderators is also useless.
Not discussing IP block here, because many tunnels are used by valid and spammer users alike.
My two cents.
The usual crap...
Jesus7Clark with images.
Robert932: hidden images
MashFrant: sports livestream link spam
Obviously a bot and necro champion.

BRIDGEPORT, CT — Congressman Jim Himes (CT-04) and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, brought a life-saving lesson about the dangers of drunk driving and underage drinking to students at Warren Harding High School today. Brandon Silveria and his father Tony spoke to students about the importance of "making the right choice" about alcohol, and that if students are under the age of 21, the only responsible decision is not to drink. Brandon is a young man who was involved in an alcohol-related crash at age 17 just before his high school prom.
"As an EMT, every major auto accident I responded to involved alcohol, and sometimes, fatalities resulted," said Congressman Himes. "I implore these young people and their friends to keep alcohol off the roads. I welcome Brandon and Tony Silveria to Connecticut and am proud to have them with us today to communicate their life-saving message."
"In Connecticut in 2007, 98 youths under age 18 were arrested for driving under the influence and 310 youths were arrested for liquor law violations," said Leslie Kimball of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "The goal of Brandon's presentation is to raise awareness about this serious problem and help our youth to make the right choice about alcohol. I'm pleased we were invited to Bridgeport today, and I am hopeful that Brandon and Tony's words will resonate with the students."
Also in attendance at today's presentation were representatives from Norwalk-based Diageo. "Diageo employees want to make sure our products stay out of the hands of youth under twenty-one and we know that educating them about the dangers of underage drinking can help. Diageo is proud to support Brandon and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility," said Guy Smith, Executive Vice President, Diageo North America. Brandon and his father, Tony, will also be presenting their life saving message at Diageo's corporate headquarters later today.
During the presentation, Brandon told students his wrenching story of how, as a high school student, he had everything a teenager could want—a job, a girlfriend and plans for the future—until he had a few drinks at a party and chose to drive home. After falling asleep at the wheel, crossing the centerline and crashing into a tree, he was left in a coma for three months and spent several years in rehabilitation. Brandon was so badly injured that basic motor functions such as walking, talking and swallowing had to be re-learned. He has permanent brain injury and suffers from dangerous seizures. Brandon's presentations continue to receive standing ovations from students across the country.
"What you become depends on the choices that you make," said Brandon. "When I was 17, I had a job and a girlfriend. Because of my crash, I lost both of them. My hope is that by sharing my experiences with other young people, I can prevent others from being hurt or killed."
Through educational efforts such as the Silveria lecture and video program, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility educates students across the country about the hazards of underage drinking and driving. Since Brandon and his father Tony have become spokespeople for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, they have addressed well over three million high school students nationwide and have been featured on such television programs as "Rescue 911," NBC's "Today," as well as media outlets across the country.
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a national, not-for-profit organization dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking. Founded in 1991, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is funded by distillers. For more information on The Foundation and its mission, please log onto www.responsibility.org.

Residents don't let snow slow them down
Sunday, February 10, 2013
DOVER — As snow began to wind down on Saturday in communities across the Seacoast and Tri-City area, the Blizzard of 2013 continued to draw a certain resiliency out of local residents who ventured out into the feet-deep snow; a sense of community during a traditional New England snow storm.
"I love snowstorms. I always come out downtown when we get hit in the winter," Jason MacAlber said walking carefully near the Cocheco Mill buildings.
"We came here when we first moved to the city and really liked it," they said.
Though it seemed a little slower than usual Saturday night, owner Vinnie Silletta, said he didn't want to lose any business due to the storm and decided to open the restaurant near the Cocheco River for the evening.
"We're starting to see more people making movement," he said, noting that it must be time to relax after a day of shoveling and "cabin fever."
