Soule Finds a Weakness in the Afterlife, Discusses Surprise "Inhuman" Return
Comic Books
Political Cartoons | Facebook has removed an article from the Revolution News Facebook page, issued a warning to the owners of the page, and banned one admin for 12 hours, apparently because the article included a cartoon by Carlos Latuff that "violated community standards." The cartoon shows Death pulling a skeleton from the grave; the skeleton has a swastika on its skull and is wrapped in a Greek flag, a reference to recent neo-Nazi activities in Greece. [CBLDF]
Comics | The Edmonton, Alberta police department has created a digital graphic novel about Alex Decoteau, the first Aboriginal officer in the department. Decoteau was also an Olympic runner and was killed during World War I at the age of 29. [CBC]

Man rescued after car goes into water in Lebanon
Saturday, April 27, 2013
LEBANON, Maine — Rescue officials helped a driver to safety after his car started taking on water on Friday morning.
"I know of at least five vehicles in the past few years who have tried to make it down Lord Road all the way and ended up in the same spot this gentleman did. Unfortunately several GPS machines show this as a travel route and people unfamiliar with the area attempt to use the road, which is not town maintained. Several roads listed on GPS units that are listed as passable but are not in Lebanon and we have had to go to other roads for similar calls. We cannot stress enough not to ever try to drive through flooded roads. Turn around and seek another route." Cole added. "This call was about 1 mile away from the location where two people died on Chick Road during the Patriots Day Storm six years ago from trying to cross a swollen river on foot. When we heard the person was still in the car and it was taking on water, and we just attended the anniversary memorial service for those victims, you have a lot running through your mind."
After the first few incidents on Lord Road, the road crews put signs up on both the Little River Road and the Long Swamp Road end saying the road is not a through road, but the driver did not see the sign and followed the GPS.

2.a. Portage Configuration
As noted previously, Portage is configurable through many variables which
you should define in /etc/make.conf. Please refer to the
make.conf man page for more and complete information:
Code Listing 1.1: Reading the make.conf man page
$ man make.conf
2.b. Build-specific Options
Configure and Compiler Options
When Portage builds applications, it passes the contents of the following
variables to the compiler and configure script:
The USE variable is also used during configure and compilations but has been
explained in great detail in previous chapters.
Merge Options
When Portage has merged a newer version of a certain software title, it will
remove the obsoleted files of the older version from your system. Portage gives
the user a 5 second delay before unmerging the older version. These 5 seconds
are defined by the CLEAN_DELAY variable.
2.c. Configuration File Protection
Portage's Protected Locations
Portage overwrites files provided by newer versions of a software title if the
files aren't stored in a protected location. These protected locations
are defined by the CONFIG_PROTECT variable and are generally configuration file
locations. The directory listing is space-delimited.
A file that would be written in such a protected location is renamed and the
user is warned about the presence of a newer version of the (presumable)
configuration file.
You can find out about the current CONFIG_PROTECT setting from the emerge
info output:
Code Listing 3.1: Getting the CONFIG_PROTECT setting
$ emerge info | grep 'CONFIG_PROTECT='
More information about Portage's Configuration File Protection is available
through emerge:
Code Listing 3.2: More information about Configuration File Protection
$ emerge --help config
Excluding Directories
To 'unprotect' certain subdirectories of protected locations you can use the
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK variable.
2.d. Download Options
Server Locations
When the requested information or data is not available on your system, Portage
will retrieve it from the Internet. The server locations for the various
information and data channels are defined by the following variables:
A third setting involves the location of the rsync server which you use when you
update your Portage tree:
The GENTOO_MIRRORS and SYNC variables can be set automatically through the
mirrorselect application. You need to emerge mirrorselect first
before you can use it. For more information, see mirrorselect's online
Code Listing 4.1: More information about mirrorselect
# mirrorselect --help
If your environment requires you to use a proxy server, you can use the
HTTP_PROXY, FTP_PROXY and RSYNC_PROXY variables to declare a proxy server.
Fetch Commands
When Portage needs to fetch source code, it uses wget by default. You
can change this through the FETCHCOMMAND variable.
Portage is able to resume partially downloaded source code. It uses wget
by default, but this can be altered through the RESUMECOMMAND variable.
Make sure that your FETCHCOMMAND and RESUMECOMMAND stores the source code in the
correct location. Inside the variables you should use \${URI} and \${DISTDIR} to
point to the source code location and distfiles location respectively.
You can also define protocol-specific handlers with FETCHCOMMAND_HTTP,
FETCHCOMMAND_FTP, RESUMECOMMAND_HTTP, RESUMECOMMAND_FTP, and so on.
Rsync Settings
You cannot alter the rsync command used by Portage to update the Portage tree,
but you can set some variables related to the rsync command:
2.e. Gentoo Configuration
Branch Selection
You can change your default branch with the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS variable. It
defaults to your architecture's stable branch. More information on Gentoo's
branches can be found in the next chapter.
Portage Features
You can activate certain Portage features through the FEATURES variable. The
Portage Features have been discussed in previous chapters, such as Portage Features.
2.f. Portage Behaviour
Resource Management
With the PORTAGE_NICENESS variable you can augment or reduce the nice value
Portage runs with. The PORTAGE_NICENESS value is added to the current
nice value.
For more information about nice values, see the nice man page:
Code Listing 6.1: More information about nice
$ man nice
Output Behaviour
The NOCOLOR, which defaults to "false", defines if Portage should disable the
use of coloured output.

Portage is completely configurable through various variables you can set in the
configuration file or as environment variable.

Dr. Moody has been trained in two medical specialties.
Orthopedic spine surgery is a highly specialized field of orthopedic surgery that encompasses the surgical and non-surgical treatment of injuries and/or disorders affecting the spine. Although many diseases or disorders affecting the spine may be treated with conservative management of the condition, this is not always the case. Spine surgeons may often work in conjunction with a multidisciplinary team when providing care, coordinating with specialists such as radiologists, oncologists, internists, and physical medicine physicians to ensure a healthy surgery and rehabilitation.
These physicians are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of spinal injuries, whether they be congenital disorders, tumors, degenerative disorders, traumatic injuries, growths, herniated discs, spinal nerve problems or otherwise. Procedures performed by orthopedic spine surgeons may include spinal fusion to correct scoliosis, lumbar decompression, lumbar disc replacement, discectomy & endoscopic microdiscectomy and laminectomy operations, among other procedures.
Depending upon the diagnosis, specific patient's condition and skill of the orthopedic spine surgeon, varying surgical techniques may be utilized. Traditional spine surgery (sometimes referred to as open back surgery) requires the surgeon to create a 5 to 6 inch incision in the patients back before moving muscle and tissue away from the spine in order to begin operating. Surgeries like these will cause substantial post-operative pain, and may take the patient up to a year to fully recover. Other, minimally-invasive operations require a much smaller incision and less manipulation of the muscle and tissues of the back. For obvious reasons, post-operative pain of minimally invasive surgery and recovery time is not as significant and lengthy.
Learn more about orthopedic spine surgery at MD.com.
Orthopedic surgery is a medical specialty focused on the repair of any part of the musculoskeletal system. Although the name identifies the specialty as being surgical, not all procedures performed by orthopedic surgeons involve actual surgical procedures or operations. Because the musculoskeletal system is comprised of the muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and bones, there are many different complications and injuries that an orthopedic surgeon may treat.
Orthopedic surgeons may be consulted after a patient has received an injury resulting from spine disorders, hip disorders, musculoskeletal tumors, sports injuries, hand and arm disorders, foot and ankle disorders, limb deformities, congenital disorders and cerebral palsy, among many others. Some of the most common procedures performed by orthopedic surgeons include knee arthroscopy, shoulder arthroscopy, carpal tunnel release, removal of support implants, hip replacement, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and repair of the rotator cuff tendon, among many others.
Orthopedic surgeons not only operate on and treat patients, but they are also often involved in diagnostic procedures and related care. When crafting a treatment plan, either surgical or non-surgical, orthopedic surgeons must take into account any impending side effects of the procedure, as well as the time and effort of rehabilitation therapy that will need to take place, among other factors. Orthopedic surgeons are also trained to educate patients on the prevention of injury and the treatment they are receiving, as well as any diet and lifestyle changes that may be able to assist in recovery or the prevention of further injury.

In January 2010, Jen McDonald, head of Bank of America Corporation's (BoA) Digital Marketing group, was discussing the bank's mobile strategy with Douglas Brown, senior vice president, Mobile Product Development. BoA launched mobile banking in 2007 and within three years it had 4 million active customers. This success prompted line-of-business managers to request Jen and Doug to include more functionality in the bank's mobile app that were specific to their businesses such as credit cards and mortgages. Jen and Doug had to decide how to leverage the mobile platform for various businesses of the bank without creating confusion or increasing complexity for the consumers. Recognizing the potential impact mobile technology could have on the entire banking industry, they also had to decide on how to position BoA's mobile banking in the long run.

Even anarchy requires consensus... even if it is a consensus to allow members to act counter to the group's intentions. Either way, anarchy only works when individual actions do not dangerously impact the whole. When they do, and they must be reined in, anarchy is over.
Our present political systems are relatively simple, based as they are either on family dynamics or group dynamics; and both of those dynamics are based on social systems that evolved on this planet (with multiple species) to support survival. Since, as I suggested before, another race may have evolved under very different social or physical pressures, they would have likely evolved different social dynamics, and their politics (if they had any) would likely have been influenced by those social systems.
This doesn't necessarily mean they would be more complex, but they could emphasize different aspects of group dynamics than we are used to (decisions could be heavily influenced by time passed, or argument weight could be impacted by health, etc). So we could see more complex political systems, or simply more incomprehensible systems.
I hate to disagree with Clausewitz, but I don't see war as the continuation of politics by other means... unless you see organized and premeditated murder as a legitimate political tactic (I know some political groups do see it that way, but I don't). As politics and social systems are about Agreement, and murder is about as far from agreeing as you can get, war has nothing to do with politics; war is what we resort to when politics breaks down; it is a refusal to cooperate. War is about usurping another's fundamental right to their life.

From the perspective of agreement, however, I agree with you, that war is about as contrary as can be.
I suppose that an advanced race of beings would have probably come to some agreement about life, develoment, social affairs, in such a way (probably through firsthand experience) that certain behaviors, such as war, neglect of others through famine, poverty, etc, are unacceptable.
Maybe we humans don't yet understand the inherant importance of protecting the human race as a whole. We still think in tribal terms: us vs. them.
July 12th, 2012, 09:17 AM #63
Much of our group "think" is still based on ideas from before the 20th century but we apply those ideas to 20th century technologyl. The nuclear weapons are still there, we just don't think about them as much as in the 50s. Dr. Stranglove is just a cool old movie. We are now turning the Internet into television with feedback.
Any aliens that have survived to cross interstellar distances have gone beyond our current psychology. Maybe we barely understand how they think. The West is just high technology Romans.

I'm afraid that our brains are just hardwired for conflict and if we rewire ourselves to be different are we still Human? Hmmm. could be a topic for a book (or a library filled with them).

star wars is more space fanasty then science fiction.

What I think is lacking in most sci-fi stories:
Not a simple question. So, focusing on the word "most" in the title of your thread, I'll generalise and say this: believable relationships between characters.
To be sure there are many, many sci-fi stories in which the relationships between characters are quite believable indeed. I simply am focusing on the word "most."
What kind of relationship it is does not matter really; father-son, friend-friend, et cetera; I am not speaking purely of romantic (or would-be romantic) relationships. I do enjoy a good one of those, too, but!
I get really caught up in the lives and relationships of a book's characters, so the easier it is for me to suspend my disbelief, the better.

I've been puzzling over this one for awhile and remembered two early novels from Kim Stanley Robinson, part of his "Future California" series. One of them was The Gold Coast about a group of friends living is a vastly built up and overcrowded Southern California in the near future. Another one was the final book in the trilogy Pacific Edge which sort of presents a utopian version of Southern California that contrasts sharply with The Gold Coast. They are interesting alternate futures explore with no war or battles; just people living in vastly different future societies.
Another book I'm currently reading is Jack McDevitt's Time Traveller's Never Die where the characters stumble on a time travel device and (so far at least) use it to visit famous scientists, philosophers, civil rights leaders, and even The Great Library of Alexandria rather than generals, battles, atrocities (thought the Selma march in the 60's may be an exception). I emphasize however than I haven't finished it yet!

The Gold Cost bored the pants off me and I gave up at about a 1/3 of the way through.

Re: Junkmonkey
Oh, I agree that melodrama between characters can overwhelm and ruin a good sci-fi story, but this is true of any genre. I have trouble getting through a book that basically says "Here! Check out this cool world I built! And all these gizmos! Oh, and as an afterthought, I crammed in a plot with a couple of 2-D characters that fly around shooting stuff and then get into a conversation wherein they explain the physics of the universe for ten hours!" etc.
A much better balance is a story whose science elements (or fantasy for that matter) can transport me to another world naturally, and whose characters (and yes, their relationships) are real enough that they do not distract from the world, but rather, add to it. In "Friday" I was amused and interested in how the space elevator worked, and in how the protagonist's body modifications helped and hindered her, but my real and abiding concerns throughout the novel were what was going to happen to her, whether she was going to succeed, and so on. That is, the fact that Heinlein put so much effort into character-building -- into making her real -- was what ultimately kept me turning the pages.

But then in part 2, we had Yoda (muppets) and Darth declared himself to be Luke's father.. It all seemed to start to "break apart." Return of the Jedi got worse (more muppets)... After that, and especially with the use of animation rather than real people.. it just seemed to become larger and larger groups of robots vs. jedis, and one battle after another.
It all just seemed to go in a direction that I feel was wrong. --Even though I still can't put my finger on what it was about the original episode that left such an impression on me, that when I looked up at the stars at night, I just felt that it could all be quite real. Or at least a hint of where humanity is going..
Anyone else feel that?

Episode IV was, and always has been, a fairy tale with spaceships. And the relationships in it were very "fairy tale" as well, all positive and happy. I'd consider the relationships in, say, Galactica (the reboot) to be more realistic: People aren't perfect, so their relationships aren't perfect. I could probably name more, but you get the idea.

TX inmate sentenced to additional years for threats against President Obama
JEFFERSON COUNTY, TX (KVEO NEWS CENTER 23) — A Texas man was sentenced to federal prison on Tuesday for threatening President Obama.
Joseph Scott Sword, 26, also known as Stretch, from Cooper, Texas, was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison, accoding to the Department of Justice.
Sword, who was incarcerated at the Stiles Unit, located in Jefferson County wrote a threatening letter on May 31, 2011, stating he had men watching the president and his family. He also mentioned being a member of the Black P Stone street gang.
Sword was indicted by federal grand jury on July 18, 2012, after pleading guilty back on December 19, 2012, and must complete the remainder of his sentence of eight years for burglary and six and-a-half years for robbery before serving the additional 46 months.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service.

The massive systems breach at Target is being traced back to a malicious email.

ACMA red carpet style stars
The Academy of Country Music Awards – the country music world's self-declared "Party of the Year" – kicked off to a rollickin', country-lovin' good time last night with a boot-tapping performance by Carrie Underwood. Hosted by Reba McIntire and Blake Shelton, the evening was full of performances, both fun (as with a rousing, booze-soaked rendition of "Red Solo Cup") and heartfelt. Of course, it being a country kinda night, there was enough sparkly cleavage, formal denim, and big hair to last us all year. Amidst these Texas-size accoutrements, however, there were a few fashion standouts. Here, we've declared our red-carpet winners from last night's ACMA's.
Carrie Underwood
The always-gorgeous Ms. Underwood had her famous legs on display in this lovely gown.
Taylor Swift
Looking more polished than usual, Taylor wowed in an architectural column gown and straight locks.
Nicole Kidman
We love the whimsical collar and illusion neckline, which add interest to a simple black dress.
Shannon DeLima
Marc Anthony's new lady-friend strutted down the red carpet in this amazing yellow gown.
Hillary Scott
Lady Antebellum's lead songstress looked subtly gorgeous in a clingy black dress, stunning emerald earrings, and perfect hair.
Miranda Lambert
Bedecked in gold, Lambert looked ready to take home a statuette.
Jennifer Nettles
We love the lacey coral number Nettles floated down the carpet in; we'd like it even more sans yellow belt.
Karen Fairchild
The Little Big Town singer stood out from her group in a gorgeous sequined dress. Love the wavey, Missoni-esque print – and the daring neckline!

Bayonetta Wiki Guide
Welcome to the Bayonetta wiki guide.
Bayonetta is a surprisingly deep, challenging game that can easily hang with the genre's big boys. IGN is here to help you plumb those depths with a detailed walkthrough complete with Alfheim portal info.
This wiki was automatically converted from the Bayonetta Guide (Xbox 360), Bayonetta Walkthrough guide at http://guides.ign.com/guides/14253761/ and may require cleanup. Please help improve this wiki if you can, and remove this notice if appropriate.
... it's been eight years since [the first Devil May Cry (DMC)], so of course I wouldn't create a game that hadn't progressed from those days! Of course, if there hadn't have been DMC, there wouldn't be Bayonetta, which has evolved from DMC. —Kamiya, April 2009
Kamiya directed development of Bayonetta at Platinum Games since January 2007,[17][18] and the game was "more-or-less complete" by October 21, 2009. The group developed for Microsoft's Xbox 360 game console, while Sega—with Platinum Games's original data and support— handled Nex Entertainment to port the game to Sony's PlayStation 3. Shimazaki designed the game's characters to be "fashionable", with "subdued" features. She designed the titular character to fulfill Kamiya's request for a modern, female witch that wears glasses and wields four guns, and the two settled on her original concept for the character despite her work "over a year" on other concepts.[22] Bayonetta emerged as a long-haired, black-clothed witch with a beehive hairdo (in place of the traditional pointy hat) and glasses (which Kamiya "really pushed for ... to differentiate Bayonetta from other female characters and give her a sense of mystery and intelligence"). Conversely, Shimazaki "didn't require a huge amount of effort" to design Bayonetta's short-haired, red-clothed rival Jeanne, who merely wears her glasses on her head above her eyes. She added plumes to Jeanne's handguns to add movement to the design, and thick makeup to Jeanne's face to "make [her] feel like something out of the 1960s". Though Shimazaki preferred Bayonetta, Jeanne turned out to be the more popular of the two witches among Kamiya and the development team. Still, in an April 2009 interview, Kamiya called the former "in many ways ... my ideal woman". Sketch of two long haired, black-clothed women in two poses, side by side. To their left is a cat-shaped earring. Above the woman on the right are six circular items of gold jewelry. Around them is a white background with Japanese and English text throughout. Mari Shimazaki tried to make the witch Bayonetta more appealing with longer limbs and adjusted proportions.
Though the game's director "deliberately created Bayonetta from scratch" and has called its story "completely original", he has admitted using "some names from Scandinavian mythology" and playing "about half of" Devil May Cry 4 for research. As a fan of folk music, he also named Bayonetta's set of four handguns after the old English ballad "Scarborough Fair", and its individual guns Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. Hiroshi Yamaguchi focused on composing music for the game that has a "nice up-tempo beat" and expresses femininity through female choirs, pianos, and other "'beautiful' instruments"—though some tracks also use pure orchestra or folk instruments—while Kenichiro Yoshimura transformed Shimazaki's Bayonetta design into a game model and used the digital sculpting tool ZBrush to create normal maps for its details. He worked with Shimazaki on the model's makeup, referred to foreign models with similar bodies, and said "I really wanted to get Bayonetta's backside perfect. I guess I am into that sort of thing..."
To Kamiya, the core theme of the game and its protagonist's attacks is "sexiness". He said Bayonetta's ability to transform into a panther reflected the developers' desire to "make her a sexy witch". To emphasize "her femininity and sexuality", the developers made Bayonetta lose rose petals instead of blood when hit, and used a butterfly motif that manifests in her wings (which appear in her shadow and during double jumps), her giant fist attack (a butterfly appears on the back of the fist), and the arms of her glasses. Her giant boot, fist, and monster attacks reveal some of her body—her hair is magically formed into clothes but must be temporarily reallocated to forming offensive weapons—and when the player targets an enemy, red lips mark the enemy's chest; this led IGN to call the developing game a mix of "action and a great big helping of fan service". The game's sexual tone is reflected in its age rating in the United States: the Entertainment Software Rating Board rated the developing game "Mature" ("M", for ages 17 and older) for containing "Partial Nudity" and "Suggestive Themes", as well as "Blood and Gore, Intense Violence," and "Strong Language". (By comparison, Japan's Computer Entertainment Rating Organization rated the game "D", also for those ages; the British Board of Film Classification rated the game "15" for "strong language and bloody violence"; and it is rated "18" under the PEGI system used in the United Kingdom and other European countries for its use of violence and language.
Kamiya had worked on previous games such as Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil and its sequel, and as such, the game makes occasional references to these games, as well as other Clover Studios titles and various Sega franchises, such as a minigame inspired by Space Harrier.
Sinobi, a Japanese blog known for its early sales data, reported Bayonetta sold 138,000 copies—93,000 for the PS3 and 45,000 for the 360—on its day of release in the country. Media Create reported the PS3 version sold 135,242 copies and was the top-selling game during its week of release there, while the 360 version sold 64,325 copies and charted at number seven. Phil Elliott of GamesIndustry.biz called the 360 version's lower sales figures "a very strong performance for the Microsoft platform, relative to installed base". The two releases fell to number eight and number 15 respectively the following week.[86] By March 31, 2010, Bayonetta sold 1.35 million units worldwide.
A few days before Bayonetta's release, Japanese gaming publication Famitsu awarded the Xbox 360 version a perfect 40 out of 40. The PlayStation 3 version received a slightly lower 38 out of 40, due to scores of nine from two of its four reviewers. As others did pre-release, the two reviewers criticized the PS3 port's frame rate problems; one thought the difference from the 360 version was slight.[89] One was quoted as saying, "the fun is the same, but the controls and overall look [on the PS3] feel a bit more unwieldy than the Xbox 360 one, which is a shame."[90] UK magazine Edge awarded the game a score of 10 out of 10, praising the game's combat system for being both deep and based around clear rules which are immediately accessible and well-taught to the player. Edge singled out the upgrade from Normal to Hard difficulties as "where Bayonetta transitions from the great to the legendary," concluding, "it's difficult to recall another third-person actioner that feels so worth mastering."
Ryan Clements of IGN gave the 360 version a 9.5 out of 10 and the PS3 version an 8.2. In separate reviews for each version, he called the game "stylish, entertaining", and "unique", and its voice work "a bit campy but still extremely enjoyable", but said its "plot is all over the place" and "isn't as skillfully told as game stories like Mass Effect and Uncharted. In his 360 version review, he called the game an "incredible work" with "final moments ... alone worth the price of admission", but said it sometimes exhibited minor "screen tearing and slowdown, which happen during explorative sections and intense action sequences, respectively". He said the PS3 version was "still a fun game" but had "a lot of problems, primary among them being the excessive slowdown and loading":
When the player pauses the game during combat or a cutscene, there's noticeable loading before the pause menu is displayed. There's loading when you pick up an item and there's loading as you scroll through menus. There's even an obnoxious load time just to view a list of save files. For a game that's supposed to emphasize quick action and style, these loads are almost deal-breakers.
Gamearena rated the game 5 out of 10, criticizing the depiction of the heroine, saying "It starts to feel awkward after not too long, and a little insulting, as it seems like the game expects you to leer and ogle her at every chance you get. You are practically begged to actively position her into sexually suggestive poses and maneuver her as you please, and at the same time think of her as a strong and sexy heroine, not some object you can... actively position into sexually suggestive poses and maneuver as you please." The review also discussed the game's lack of mass-market appeal - "Many people found DMC too campy and over-the-top, and Bayonetta makes it look monochrome in comparison. If you don't like the genre, Bayonetta will not change your mind."
GameSpot's video review lamented duller graphics and inconsistent frame rates for its PS3 port.
The Associated Press review was not as forgiving as most others, where they state that "Bayonetta feels like a game that would have blown me away 15 years ago. (It even pays tribute to Sega arcade classics like "Space Harrier" and "Hang-On.") While it introduces an exotic new vision, it doesn't give us anything to do except fight, and its strictly linear story prevents you from exploring its distinctive universe. It's high on style, but less than satisfying."
Eurogamer rated it 9 out of 10, commenting that "The result is a game that exemplifies so much of what commentators claim has died in the Japanese game industry. A blast of creative brilliance, both technically accomplished, strategically deep and infused with rare imagination, Bayonetta represents the pinnacle of its chosen niche".
GamesRadar gave the game 10 out of 10. Nathan Irvine of their UK division said it "nails ... the epic scale of everything that unfolds before your eyes and the manner in which it's delivered", believed it was better than God of War Collection, Devil May Cry 4, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and praised its "superb action" and humor (such as "Luka doing his best Assassin's Creed impression by looking moody in an Altair/Ezio style hood"). However, he said "the only time anything makes sense with Bayonetta's story is right at the end", and complained about some of the game's Quick Time Events (QTEs):
... every now and then you're instructed to complete them mid-cutscene to, say, dodge a falling satellite and the like. The problem is they happen so quickly that some times you'll miss the prompt and have to re-run the whole sequence again, which is insanely frustrating. —Nathan Irvine
In contrast to Irvine, IGN UK's Martin Robinson said "it's not Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden or God of War that's the best point of reference but Super Mario Galaxy": he felt Bayonetta, like the Nintendo game, "loves to tinker with the player's sense of perspective, and fights that begin on street surface often wind their way up the surrounding walls". Robinson praised the "fluid, intuitive and ultimately satisfying" combat system and "its conveyor belt of ever-more inventive foes. From the lowliest grunt to the most hulking of bosses", and said, "Even after two playthroughs we're discovering more and more to Bayonetta's move set each time we go back to the game." Still, he felt "a little too much time is given over to the exposition".
GameZone's Louis Bedigian gave both versions an 8.5 out of 10, saying "Bayonetta is one of those rare fantasy games that sounds crazy on paper but is absolutely genius in execution. Every level feels like a fresh journey through a hellish world – which says a lot for a game that is (believe it or not) a part of the hack-n-slash genre."
On December 10, 2010, IGN UK, in an episode of the weekly IGN Weekend Initiative show, announced that Bayonetta was their pick for the 2010 Game of the Year (GOTY)..
Cliff Bleszinski, design director of Epic Games, has stated that he is a fan of the game's "crunchy" game design. Later on, when asked what game in history he would liked to have worked on, he stated Bayonetta.

Another letter for Shea-Porter?
Thursday, February 7, 2013
It would appear in the following press release that U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter left something out of her usual mantra -- raising taxes. However, we are sure it was an oversight by her staff. That said, we await a copy of her press release about the letter she sent the White House calling on President Obama to release his budget aimed at accomplishing all this. (FYI -- According to Sen. Kelly Ayotte, the president missed last week's deadline to do just that.)

I mean, is DirectX worry about portability or something like that ?
Absolutely not.
I don't know much about binary shaders, but what I've read is that it's available on OpenGL ES.
To say true what I would like to see in the future of OpenGL
is a merge and standardization of all 3D features, input management and sound management like in DirectX.
Of course we know there's some "kind of solutions" available here and there, but no real standard.
Why I don't like intel gpu ?
Here is simple and short answer showing that intel is not a worth choice nor for performance or battery usage. Even the cheaper excuse is no more acceptable.

SDL is one of the solutions that I already used, but it's not enough advanced, most times I did used it, I had to fall back to OpenGL direct and keep SDL to manage inputs etc.
So it's not a real solution in a way. But in fact it works fine
What's that for?(Yes, it offers more functionality in general, but (a) it's still missing binary shaders
Many of our OSS drivers don't even support 3D at all. (and they will never support Direct3D)and (b) 50% of the market is using Intel IGPs, which are synonymous with "bad OpenGL support" and (c) our OSS drivers don't even support GL2.1, much less 3.2).
The drivers that matter (at the moment) are the proprietary NVIDIA and AMD drivers. That's what the scientific community uses for Linux graphics.
The differences start after you pass the setup stage.
Load times, mainly. With OpenGL, you need to compile/link shaders every time you startup your program. Modern games might run in the hundreds / thousands of shaders, which translates into very long load times.What's that for?...binary shaders...
Well, Linux is used by about ~1-2% of the computer-literate population. If 10 or 20% of that number doesn't support 3d... you can see where I'm going. Numbers in the order of 0.1-0.4% can be safely ignored - these people wouldn't be interested in my applications anyway.Many of our OSS drivers don't even support 3D at all. (and they will never support Direct3D)
Indeed, if you are targetting the scientific community, you are more or less free to dictate your hardware requirements. If you are going after the home market, you cannot ignore Intel (as much as I hate to admit that). World of Goo, for example, would have lost more than half of its sales if it wasn't able to run on Intel (and I'm sure the developers hated every minute spent working around compatibility issues).The drivers that matter (at the moment) are the proprietary NVIDIA and AMD drivers. That's what the scientific community uses for Linux graphics.
Surprisingly enough, Intel's open source drivers are decent enough. They support GLSL, VBOs and FBOs which is decent enough (bugs can be worked around; missing features cannot). Their closed-source drivers are where the problem lies: they haven't updated GMA950 drivers since 2008 (that's what 99% of netbooks come with), their Poulsbo chips don't even support OpenGL, and their newer chips (HD4500 and the like) often fail to run perfectly valid OpenGL code.
Check the forums at opengl.org to see how many problems is Intel causing to OpenGL developers.
Because they are 50% of the market and Direct3d is working on that 50%. Why do you think Google Earth is shipping with both D3d and OpenGL support at the same time?Originally Posted by dl.zerocool
That will not happen as part of OpenGL. It's not its raison d' etre.To say true what I would like to see in the future of OpenGL
is a merge and standardization of all 3D features, input management and sound management like in DirectX.
OpenGL is equivalent to Direct3D. They are graphics APIs.
OpenAL is equivalent to DirectSound. They are sound APIs.
OpenCL is equivalent to DirectCompute. They are compute APIs.
Input and windowing are handled by the underlying OS, neither DirectX nor OpenGL. (Yes, DX used to provide DirectInput but this has been deprecated in favor of win32 raw input. DX also provides XInput, but this is mostly meant for XBox interop).
Fact #1: Google Earth is a cross-platform application => it cannot be D3D only.
Fact #2: OpenGL is a cross-platform graphics API => Google Earth could have been built on OpenGL only.
Fact #3: a single codepath is better than two codepaths from a time and cost perspective => there must be some reason why Google Earth supports both OpenGL and D3D.
It all starts to make sense when you check out Google Earth's configuration files(*). These files contain overrides for specific video chips and explanations for those overrides (e.g. chip x crashes when using mipmaps under OpenGL. Use D3D instead). The interesting thing here is that pretty much every single Intel chip (50% of the market) is switched to the D3D codepath in Google Earth, which means Intel's OpenGL drivers must be rather bad.
It is safe to assume that Google Earth is forced to fall back to D3D on Windows due to OpenGL driver issues. It is also safe to assume that Google would have preferred to use OpenGL only, if that was feasible (due to #1, #2 and #3). Unfortunately, it isn't.
(*) Last time I checked was on version 3, but I somehow doubt anything has changed since then.

Groundbreaking Launches Construction of St. Joseph's Hospital-South
TAMPA, Fla. (October 17, 2012) – During a groundbreaking event today in Riverview, nearly 100 business leaders, neighbors and elected officials celebrated the construction of St. Joseph's Hospital-South, the first not-for-profit hospital built to serve southern Hillsborough County.
The hospital is expected to set a new standard of care when it opens in 2015, bringing the latest in health care technology and design together with the medical excellence and compassion historically provided by St. Joseph's Hospitals.
"When St. Joseph's builds a health care facility, we don't merely build a building," said Sr. Patricia Shirley, OSF, vice president of mission services. "We build a community of women and men who are committed to serve, to use their hearts and their hands for healing."
St. Joseph's Hospital-South, part of BayCare Health System, will be a full-service hospital offering a wide range of services from emergency care and women's services to surgery and intensive care.
The 72-acre campus will include a medical office building that connects to the four-story, 352,000-square-foot hospital for convenient access to pre-procedure testing and physician offices. The site also will be home to a 40,000 square-foot, free-standing physician office building, which is expected to open in 2013 with imaging and laboratory services as well as primary care and specialty physician offices.
In addition to providing excellent health care to area residents, this project is expected to be a welcome addition to the business community.
"Think about it: $225 million invested here and the ripple effect that will have," said Congresswoman Kathy Castor. "First: construction jobs, boosting small business throughout the community. Then, the medical professionals that will move here and their families that will grow up here. This hospital is going to be an anchor for economic development for the SouthShore community and all of southern Hillsborough County."
Hospital president and CEO, Isaac Mallah, said his staff has worked more than seven years to get the necessary approvals to build the hospital. But the idea to build in this location was conceived in the mid 1980s, when the land was first purchased by hospital visionaries.
"As I stand here today, I am struck by what it took to get here," Mallah said as construction vehicles worked in the distance. "We are here today thanks to the perseverance of our team and the great support of our neighbors and friends from here to Sun City Center."
Among the dignitaries who attended the event were hospital board members and executives including BayCare President and CEO Steve Mason; community leaders including Ed Barnes, president of the Sun City Center Community Association, Eileen Peco, president, Federation of Kings Point; representatives from the Greater Riverview, SouthShore and Sun City Center chambers of commerce; and elected officials including Castor, Congressman Tom Rooney and State Representative Dana Young.
Castor, who summed up the sentiment of the crowd, said, "For the jobs and economic opportunities, for the health and innovation opportunities, but most importantly for the investment in our families and care you will provide, thank you, BayCare and St. Joseph's for this wonderful and exciting groundbreaking."
St. Joseph's Hospital-South is now under construction at 6901 Simmons Loop Road in Riverview, Fla., and is easily accessible via I-75 and Highway 301. The campus begins at the intersection of Big Bend Road and Simmons Loop Road, approximately one-half mile east of I-75.

The mass air flow sensor can fail, resulting in poor fuel economy and Check Engine Light illumination.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Repairpal verified 2006 Mercedes-Benz C230 problems
Check Engine Light Due to Faulty Camshaft Adjuster Solenoid
The camshaft adjuster solenoid (which is related to the variable valve timing system) may fail or timing chain/balance shaft components may wear, resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light and various drivability issues. Mercedes-Benz has released a service bulletin outlining specific repair instructions depending on fault codes stored.
"Crank no Start" Due to Failed Crankshaft Position Sensor
The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance. Communicating these specific symptoms to your technician can save diagnostic time.
Tire Wear Caused By Worn Front Thrust Link Bushings
Irregular and premature tire wear can be caused by the front thrust link bushings cracking and causing excessive movement in the suspension. The thrust link bushings are fluid-filled (to help reduce vibration), so if they crack, they will leak oil.
HVAC Oder Due to Mildew in Heater Box
The heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) heater box is susceptible to mildew buildup. This can result in a musty odor from the HVAC system, most noticeable when the system is first turned on.
Transmission May Leak Fluid and Damage Control Module
The electrical connector at the automatic transmission may leak fluid. Over time leaking fluid could migrate through the wiring harness and damage the transmission control module. If that happens a new harness and control module may be necessary to correct the problem.
ABS Modulator Failure Due to Dirty Brake Fluid
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly may fail due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
Clicking Noise From Behind Center of Dash
A repetitive clicking noise from behind the center area of the dash panel is usually caused by a broken stepper motor actuating arm. The actuating arm controls the direction of air flow in the climate control system. Disassembly of the center console will be required to access and change the broken arm with the updated, reinforced part.
Inside Grab Handles/Upholstery/Door Trim Panels May Delaminate
Inside grab handles, the upholstery on the center console cover, and door trim panels can delaminate. Most commonly replacement of the affected part is necessary.
Squeaking/Worn Brake Pads May Require Rotor Replacement Also
The brakes may begin to squeak at about the 50 percent wear point. This is due to the size and material used for the brake pads and rotors. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge. This will generally require replacement of the rotors when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
Knocking Noise Over Bumps Due to Worn Sway Bar Link Joints
The sway bar end link joints may wear and cause a knocking noise over bumps. Loose or warn links should be replaced to correct this type of noise.
The Differential May Develop Leaks From the Seals or Cover
Leaks may develop from the differential cover and/or seals on high mileage or older vehicles. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit if these leaks are addressed.
SRS Light Due to Spilled Liquid on Buckle or Under Seat
