Gateway SX2840-01
Gateway SX2840-01 : Full Set
1 / 7
Bottom Line
The Gateway SX2840-01 is an inexpensive Intel Core i3-powered multimedia-oriented desktop for the user that needs more power for photo or video projects. It's compact and has a decent group of features. However a bunch of bloatware and other omissions keep it from attaining the highest overall scores.

The Visual Assistance Card
Imagine being blind for a minute, and you have to go to the store to pick up a few things. You have everything in your basket ready to be checked out and since you have no cash in your pocket, you whip out the old trustworthy debit card. However, since debit/credit card machines have pretty much gone all digital, you will have to trust the clerk to help you with entering your private information. Yeah, pretty scary huh?

Funding criticism
There will be a particular focus on how Brown funded the military, which lost 179 soldiers in the Iraq campaign and is currently engaged in fierce fighting in Afghanistan.
In his testimony to the inquiry in January, Geoff Hoon, the defence secretary at the time of the war, said his ministry had lacked funds for years before invasion.
Friday's edition of The Times, a British newspaper, carried comments from General Charles Ronald Llewelyn Guthrie, who led the armed forces from 1997 to 2001.
He said: "Not fully funding the army in the way they had asked ... undoubtedly cost the lives of soldiers.
"He [Brown] should be asked why he was so unsympathetic towards defence and so sympathetic to other departments."Jocelyn Cockburn, a lawyer for relatives of soldiers killed in lightly armoured Snatch Land Rovers in Iraq, said that she was urging Chilcot to challenge Brown over funding concerns.
"Specifically, was he aware of concerns around the lack of armoured vehicles and did he receive any requests for funding [particularly in the period 1997-2006] to purchase armoured vehicles?" she wrote in a letter to Chilcot.
The use of the Snatch trucks has been the focus of growing anger here after a number of soldiers were killed by roadside blasts in the vehicles in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
'Political platform'Chilcot said he would not call Brown and other serving ministers until after the election to avoid the hearing "being used as a platform for political advantage".
However, following pressure from political rivals, Brown offered to appear beforehand.
After two years trailing far behind the opposition Conservatives in opinion polls, Brown's governing Labour Party has experienced a recent boost in support.Any fresh revelations linking him to the still-divisive Iraq conflict, seen by many as a black mark on Labour's 13 years in power, could be highly damaging.
Brown was finance minister from 1997 until 2007, when he took over from Tony Blair as prime minister.
Blair appeared before the same inquiry in January.

Lest we forget - a tribute to ANZAC Day
Archives New Zealand have put together a montage of moving images from its collections of New Zealanders during World War One to honour those who served and died in the Great War.
The 90 second video on YouTube starts and ends with an excerpt of the Ode of Remembrance, the famous fourth stanza from For the Fallen, a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon.
As part of its support of next year's World War One commemorations Archives New Zealand is also working to publish online the personnel file of every one of the 160,740 people who served in World War One, where New Zealand Defence Force records exist.
Archives New Zealand is heavily involved in social media projects that aim to bring history alive from the perspective of New Zealanders who lived through the experienced.

Recordkeeping Review Terms of Reference
The Chief Archivist has decided to review recordkeeping practices of the Prime Minister in regard to text messages which may/may not be considered public records between the period November 2008 and November 2014 in relation to a request about a possible breach of the Public Records Act 2005 (the Act).
The Recordkeeping Review terms of reference are as follows:
1. Background
Based on statements relating to the deletion of text messages made by the Prime Minister in the House of Representatives on 27 November 2014, James Shaw MP requested an investigation regarding what he considers to be a potential breach of the Public Records Act 2005. The request was to cover the period that the Prime Minister has been in office, and whether there has been any change in his practices over time. Mr Shaw has also asked for the Chief Archivist to provide direction and guidelines on the deletion or retention of text messages.
2. Review
The review will examine:
- Any recordkeeping policies and procedures for managing text messages, supplied by relevant public offices during the period concerned;
- Whether the requirements of the Act have been met;
- The application of existing authorised disposal schedules;
- The adequacy of advice or guidance provided to the Prime Minister; and
- Any other matters the Chief Archivist considers appropriate to review.
The use of private mobile phones and devices and personal text messages on ministerial phones and devices are explicitly excluded from the scope of this review.
3. Mandate
Under s31(a) of the Act, the Chief Archivist may give notice in writing directing the administrative head of a public office to report on any specified aspect of its recordkeeping practice.
4. Contact for enquiries
The Chief Archivist will not comment while the review is underway, but will publish a final report when the review is complete.
Dunedin Archives exhibition documents World War One experience
Readiness and Sacrifice an exhibition at Archives New Zealand's Dunedin Regional Office highlights the personal and official memories of the Otago and Southland war experience.
The exhibition coincides with the 100 years anniversary of when volunteers left Dunedin to enlist in the Great War and is a small contribution to the many events and commemorations currently happening throughout New Zealand says exhibition curator Archivist Vivienne Cuff.
Featuring soldiers letters home and other archives the exhibition paints a vivid picture of the life and times of those who went to war, says Vivienne.
"Motivation to create the exhibition came from reflecting on the sacrifice made by members of my own family," she says.
"My grandfather, John Clarence Cuff, was wounded at Gallipoli. His identification tags are included in the exhibition. As well, my great uncle Robert William Cuff was killed in action at Grevillers, France, in April 1918. I have their photographs, plus Robert's war diary documenting his voyage overseas in 1917 on the troopship Waitemata.
"Putting the exhibition together has been both exhausting and emotional, but I am pleased the result gives a poignant insight into the lives of the many people who went to war," she says.
Vivienne Cuff, Archivist, is holding the letter from the Minister of Defence to Oswald Stead's father informing him that his son had died after serving at Gallipoli.
Included in the exhibition are:
- Alexander Mee's war diary describing life on the troopship and training in England in 1917
- the letters home from soldiers on the frontline
- official communications, such as a telegram or letter, families received informing them that their relative had died, or were missing or killed in action
- the contributions of Kempthorne Prosser (a local drug manufacturing company), Dunedin Medical School and Dunedin Hospital in fitting out the hospital ship Maheno
- the work of the Otago Military Service Board and the implementation of the Military Service Act 1916
- a National Film Unit film clip depicting the battlefields, equipment, and soldiers' experiences.
The exhibition runs until 24 December 2014 and the Dunedin office is open Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 5.00pm.
Additional information can be found by delving into Archway, Archives New Zealand's online search system, the New Zealand at war site WW100 and the Auckland Museum cenotaph site.
The story of Alexander Mee
Included in Alexander Mee's file are poignant letters sent by him to his wife Jessie. Jessie and Alexander had married in February 1917 and were expecting a child. Alexander writes of his war experiences in the trenches and his yearning to return home to see Jessie. He was killed on 12 October 1917, at the battle of Passchendele. A later Court of Enquiry found him: 'Missing Believed Killed'.

Sound recordkeeping standards reported under the Public Records Act 2005
Public offices made substantive recordkeeping progress during 2011/12, with the public offices audited meeting the requirements of the Public Records Act 2005, says Chief Archivist Marilyn Little.
The audits were summarised in the Chief Archivist's report State of Government Recordkeeping and Public Records Act 2005 audits 2011/12 which has now been tabled in Parliament.
Commenting on the report Marilyn Little said, "it's pleasing to note that in only the second year of a five year audit programme public offices were increasingly aware of their requirements and responsibilities under the Act and were taking positive steps to build their recordkeeping capability.
"Awareness of the requirements under the Act was high among the audited organisations."
"Good recordkeeping practices assist organisations to better manage business risks and ensure records are maintained to uphold government accountability and transparency."
A total of 43 randomly selected public offices were independently audited in 2011/12. Public offices are audited on a five-year cycle, with 200 being audited by the completion of the cycle in July 2015.
The report includes the Chief Archivist's recommendations for managing records in times of change and disaster, the value of digitisation in records management, and disposing of routine records coupled with the transfer of important ones to the archives. The report also acknowledges the impact of cloud computing.
The report combines both the annual state of recordkeeping and audit reports required by the Public Records Act in a single document.
Marilyn Little said Archives New Zealand had an active education and advisory programme in place to assist organisations develop and maintain robust recordkeeping standards.
More information including useful tools and training is on the Archives New Zealand website. Work is underway now to ensure a timelier finalisation of the reports for 2012/13 and subsequent years.

Appointment: Chief Archivist and General Manager of Archives New Zealand
The new Chief Archivist and General Manager of Archives New Zealand is to be Marilyn Little. The appointment follows the resignation of the previous Chief Archivist, Greg Goulding.
Marilyn Little is currently the Internal Affairs General Manager Policy. She previously worked for the Office of the Auditor-General and the Department of Labour in senior roles. The appointment, for one year, was announced today by Internal Affairs Deputy Chief Executive (Information and Knowledge Services) Sue Powell.
"I recommended the appointment to the Chief Executive based on an assessment of Archives New Zealand's immediate needs and the availability of strong managers within the wider department. This is one of the strengths of the placement of Archives New Zealand within a larger organisation: transitions in management can be much smoother because of the wide pool of talent.
"Marilyn has been a leader in the development of Strategic Information Management policy across the department, and is also a strong people manager. She has built a team of more than ninety people into one of the most effective policy teams in government. In Archives we are moving on to the implementation of the review of government record-keeping standards which will mean a new way of working for central government agencies, local government, and tertiary institutions. Marilyn's background and skills, combined with Archives existing in-depth technical expertise expertise, will be a powerful combination".
Marilyn Little takes up her appointment on 17 February. Her priorities will be to meet staff and stakeholders, implement the outcomes of the record-keeping review and ensure initiatives for better management of, and access to, archives are progressed effectively.

See the original Treaty on Waitangi Day
Wellingtonians and visitors to the capital will be able to see the original 1840 Treaty of Waitangi on Waitangi Day when Archives New Zealand's Wellington opens its doors to the public from 10.00am to 4.00pm.
On 6 February thousands of people nationwide celebrate Waitangi Day, and experiencing the original Tiriti on New Zealand's national day adds to the special nature of the occasion.
Te Tiriti is not one single large sheet of paper, but a group of nine documents; seven on paper and two on parchment. Together they represent an agreement drawn-up between representatives of the British Crown on the one hand and representatives of Māori, iwi and hapū on the other.
As the official guardian of New Zealand's public record Archives New Zealand collects, stores and protects a range of material including important heritage documents.
These include the Treaty of Waitangi which since 1991 has been permanently on display in the specially controlled environment of the Constitution Room.
Te Tiriti o Waitangi is named after the place in the Bay of Islands where it was first signed on 6 February 1840, but it was also signed in a number of other locations around the country in the following months. These include the Waikato, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, Cook Strait and the East Coast.
Entry to Archives New Zealand at 10 Mulgrave Street, Thorndon, is free and archivists will be giving talks about the origins and the history of the Treaty throughout the day.

Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome
Kessinger Publishing, Apr 1, 2003 - History - 340 pages
The author sets before the reader a lifelike picture of the deities of classical times as they were conceived and worshipped by the ancients themselves, and thereby to awaken in the minds of young students a desire to become more intimately acquainted with the noble productions of classical antiquity. The aim was to render the legends, which form the second portion of this work, a picture of old Greek life; its customs, superstitions, and princely hospitalities, for which reason they are given at somewhat greater length than is usual in works of this kind.

Red Wings eliminate Ducks, head to Chicago
by George Malik on 05/13/13 at 12:56 AM ET

Despite a third period scare-and-a-half, the Red Wings defeated the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 and will play the Chicago Blackhawks in the conference semifinals...I'll write more in a bit but you tell me how you feel about being Chicago's hamburger.
NBCSN will air the 2nd round--no FSD this time--and Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond say that the series will start on Wednesday. And it was pretty awesome to hear Kronwall and Zetterberg thank both Fox Sports Detroit and the fans who stayed up watching them. And Zetterberg readily admitted that he took a "stupid penalty," too.
Update: FTR:
The Red Wings came out incredibly strongly, perhaps remembering how the Ducks' start in Game 5 knocked them onto their heels all night long, and Henrik Zetterberg scored a slick goal (with Zetterberg and Datsyuk split up for this game) via hard work from Valtteri Filppula, Danny Cleary and Jakub Kindl, all of 1:49 in:

Game 7 will be fun…For the players on the ice

Paul's been doing yeoman's work and then some and the Chief captured the moment that I didn't see--perhaps thankfully, due to Fox Sports Detroit's broadcast of Friday's game--of the Ducks' version of "leadership," via Corey Perry spitting water on the ice while his BFF Ryan Getzlaf tried to challenge Henrik Zetterberg to who-the-f***-knows-what with Todd Bertuzzi, Brian Engblom and Larry Murphy's office between them...

Trying To Figure Out Filppula
by Paul on 05/12/13 at 10:55 AM ET

from John Niyo of the Detroit News,
The Wings don't have many pending free agents on the roster, but they do have a few, and none more notable - or mystifying - than Valtteri Filppula, the 29-year-old Finnish center who has become a lightning rod for criticism this spring.
In this new-and-improved, salary cap-strapped NHL, where nearly every team insists its focus is a draft-and-develop strategy -- and where fewer and fewer top-tier players are making it to free agency -- Filppula's bound to be a player with opportunities to cash in elsewhere.
The problem for the Wings is deciding what value he still has here in Detroit, where the former third-round pick has been a regular in the lineup ever since Steve Yzerman retired in 2006 and a regular in coach Mike Babcock's doghouse for a good, long time, as well.

10:08 PM ET tonight seems so far away and a long day is ahead of us.
So how's the mood of the Red Wings fans today as we wait until the puck drops?
What's your gut say, how about any dreams you may have had, will the Wings be traveling to Chicago after the game or will it be a long trip back home to begin the exit process?

Ducks Today

Comments (3)
from AJ Manderichio of AnaheimDucks.com,
"When you're a kid, you have dreams that you're playing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs," Corey Perry said. "That's the fun part of the hockey. You dream about Game 7s and to be that one guy to step up [and win one] is pretty special."
"You don't get many opportunities like this," Cam Fowler said. "You try and cherish that moment and you look forward to it. It's another game of hockey, but the stakes are raised a little bit.
"I'm looking forward to it. No butterflies, just excitement."
Bruce Boudreau has both played and coached in Game 7, and believes playing carries less pressure.

Wings Keep Coming Back

from Mark Whicker of the Orange County Register (paid subscriotion) at the Centre Daily Times,
Game 7 is set for Sunday night at Honda Center.
It wasn't necessary.
Neither was Game 6, really, but the Detroit Red Wings, spurred by jerseys in the ceiling or echoes from the '90s or something even more spiritual, have done something remarkable in this first-round series.
They have won two games with an inner-body injury. They came back twice after their souls were crushed.

Red Wings-Ducks Game 6 quick take: Wings out-score their mistakes
by George Malik on 05/10/13 at 10:59 PM ET
Comments (33)
The Detroit Red Wings nearly did themselves in against the Ducks, thanks to some awful play by Valtteri Filppula, on uncalled trip by Corey Perry and some terrible mistakes by the Quincey-Smith pairing...
But Jimmy Howard was masterful, Henrik Zetterberg was clutch, the Wings got butts in front of Jonas Hiller, and 1:09 into OT, the Red Wings defeated the Ducks 4-3--despite blowing a 3-1 lead--and are headed to Anaheim for Game 7 on Sunday at 10 PM. More in a minit, but please do comment!
Update: This game was baffling. On a night that the Grand Rapids Griffins smoked the Toronto Marlies 7-0 to open their second-round series and Wings prospect Martin Frk won a Quebec Major Junior League title with the Halifax Mooseheads, the Wings remain a riddle wrapped up in an enigma wrapped up in a gift-wrapped giveaway.
Pavel Datsyuk scored such a masterful opening goal late into the 1st period, after Jimmy Howard made some utterly remarkable saves...

The Malik Report is a destination for all things Red Wings-related.

This is just a test!
This is just a test!
Hello fans and friends of Better Bug Games!
The BBG team is happy to announce that our latest title Safety In Numbers (SIN) is ready for beta testing! We've been hard at work finalizing the game play mechanic and getting the general feel of SIN ready for public scrutiny and critique. We are pleased at how SIN is coming together and can't wait to see how others react to playing it.
So, we are looking for all the feedback we can get. We are extending this beta to all of our Kickstarter supporters and the fans and friends of BBG. The industry has seen some great titles come from community driven feedback, and at BBG we want to create that same welcoming environment. So please join us, not only in play testing the next great title from BBG, but also in starting a dialogue to make SIN the best it can be together!
To participate in the beta, go to forums.BetterBugGames.com and sign up for an account. Then send a pm to the user Jason Q to get the private subforum unlocked. From there, you can read the instructions, see what other people are saying about the game, and download the latest version. Currently we only have a Windows installer version, but we're working on getting a Mac version soon as well.
Hope to see you there!
Tony P
Hello all! I wanted to give everyone a short update on the status of Safety in Numbers (SIN) now that our Kickstarter (KS) has come and gone. While the KS campaign wasn't successful, ($215 raised/$1000 goal) we had some great milestones with this KS campaign. This was the most money donated, most backers, and it's definitely the most fun campaign we've run! Need proof? Check out this video made with the help of the very talented Sean Caspian. So, thank you all for your support. As for SIN, it will still get made, but we're going to scale things back just a bit. Seeing as how there seems to be a hesitance on the style of gameplay, we're going to remove the paid version of the game and just give all of the features out for free! We are currently targeting the end of July as our release time, so those of you that are looking forward to playing it won't have to wait long. Also, for those of you who ordered beta testing status, you will be getting it. Even though we didn't reach our goal we are not a company that forgets it's fans! Once we have the game to a beta testable state, we will send out a personal message with details.
Still feel like helping Better Bug Games? We recently launched a Patreon account (http://www.patreon.com/BetterBugGames). Patreon is an ongoing supporter platform rather than a one off like Kickstarter. Creators can get paid small amounts per project or per month. We're looking for donations per month since our project size and release schedule can vary widely. Please check us out and spread the word! Jason and I think this may be a more successful avenue for BBG to explore. Patreon allows our fans to contribute on an on-going basis, and allows us to grow as a company rather than have to hope for a large scale KS project to get us off the ground. Our goal here is to transition full-time into game making and you can help! Pledge what you can and spread the word!
Regardless of any hurdles we may come across, Better Bug Games is still going to charge forward and bring our games to the world, where they belong.
Thanks so much for your support!
The Better Bug Games team
Better Bug Games is happy to announce a Kickstarter for our upcoming title, Safety in Numbers!
Safety In Numbers, or SIN, is a reverse tower defense title where you are charged with handling the flow of refugees of an impending attack! You must use guards and natural obstacles to keep a controlled flow of people moving into the safety of the city through a single gate. If you allow too many to stack up, panic will overtake the masses and the people will riot. Think that sounds fun? Check this out… the premium version of the game will feature a level editor with the ability to Tweet your custom levels for others to play!
Please take a moment to check out our campaign here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/betterbuggames/safety-in-numbers-by-better-bug-games . Any size donation is wonderful and will be greatly appreciated, but there are also some awesome perks to helping us achieve our goals.
For any not capable of monetary assistance, you can still help! Let people know about our campaign and help get the word out about Safety in Numbers. As Indie developers, we know the hardest part is getting people to find our project. The Indie community, players and developers alike, is one of the most inclusive and helpful we've ever been apart of and with your help we can reach of goal! Short on time? Just use the blurb below on Facebook or Twitter and *boom* you have helped out your favorite indie game company Better Bug Games!
Safety in Numbers, a reverse tower defense title with tweetable custom levels from @BetterBugGames! Contribute here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/betterbuggames/safety-in-numbers-by-better-bug-games
Thank you for helping in our success!
I can't wait to have to write an article about how awesome all of you are for helping us reach our goal!
Tony P and Jason Q
Let me start off by saying this is the best 3DS non port title I have ever played! If you own a 3DS this is a must have for your library! Now that I'm done gushing, let's review this title properly because as great as it is, it is not without its faults.
A Link Between Worlds (LBW) starts much like the Super Nintendo classic A Link to the Past (LTTP), one of the greatest console games to ever be released. LBW takes a whole lot of gameplay and inspiration from LTTP. This can be a blessing for those looking to just blow through the game, but I found it kinda disappointing because there was no drive for me to dig into the story. In fact, outside of the paintings, I found nothing super entertaining about the team of villains bent on Hyrule's destruction (up until the finale, at least, which I will not ruin here!). The game does pay great homage to LTTP, but the story really feels like a well done reboot. This means for me or anyone else that's played LTTP, you're not really getting anything new.
Story Score – (6/10) It's good but I've already read this one…
This is where LBW really shines. The swordplay and item system are solid (except for upgrades…I'll get to it). Exploration is fairly open right from the get go, letting you dictate how you consume the game. This is something I really love that is missing from a lot of newer titles. I don't need you to hold my hand! Let me explore this great world of yours and make it my own by going where I want to! LBW does this so well that near the half way point of the game I slowed my story progression and went Maiamai (goofy looking octopus babies) hunting to try to upgrade most of my equipment. I grabbed a ton of those little guys, got a few key items upgraded, and jumped right back into the story. I never felt like I broke the game nor did the game compel me to resume my quest; it just let this hero of Hyrule do his thing as he saw fit.
Onto the upgrade and item system. A lot of the classic items return and no matter which Legend of Zelda you've played you'll feel right at home with the hookshot, lantern, bow, and boomerang just to name a few. There are also a few really unique and new items in LBW like the sand and tornado rod which allow you control over their respective elements. This does make for some interesting puzzles later in the game, but overall they feel under utilized. I think the worst part of the item system is by far acquisition. How do you get these great items? You go rent or buy them from a very eccentric little shopkeeper who sets up his business in your home, of all places. There are a few items discovered in dungeons, but overall your job is to grind for rupees and go shopping. This just felt lame, like anyone with cash could be the hero of Hyrule, not a brave adventurer willing to brave deep, dark dungeons for their untold treasures. Item use in general is pretty basic. The game tries to ramp it up by adding an upgrade system, but it doesn't really do anything but make your items slightly cooler or more powerful. While I appreciate the idea of renting items and using the Maiamai to upgrade my stuff, at the end of the day it felt like these wrinkles were added because they felt like they had to do something different from LTTP, not because it was fun or cool. I really never got to feel the pain of rental because I never died (which causes all rented items to be repossessed), so I never lost my stuff. However the game does not reward you for that. You instead get to buy your stuff twice so that on the off-chance you die you keep it.
The best thing about the gameplay is the heart of the game's theme…Wall Merging! This particular mechanic is handled so well that it is super easy to overlook the flaws in the other components. From exploration of the two main overworld to the amazingly well done dungeons, the wall walking never gets old. The game does such a good job of making you use this ability in conjunction with your other items to get through each dungeon that it quickly becomes your go to move when stuck. In particular, I loved this because it made the dungeons seem much bigger. The same room could be played over and over again because it became a new experience every time you gained access to a new part of the wall. This game should be a lesson to any game designers looking to make a great game. Make sure to focus on that core of your gameplay and do it well. It makes it so the player is so immersed in that one component that the others take a back seat and won't feel broken or annoying if they are not done to the same great quality.
Gameplay Score – (9/10) One Great Component done very well mixed with a serviceable support system
Graphics and Sound
This game is beautiful! I loved the look of everything. The music and sound effects really helped immerse me. A lot of the music will feel familiar to anyone who played LTTP, but all the scores are upgraded and wonderfully handled. As for visuals, the color palate is selected beautifully even in the dark land of Lorule (Hyrule's doomed counter part). You can really tell that the land used to be vibrant and beautiful, just like Hyrule, until it fell under dark influence. It would be a great looking title even if it weren't on a handheld!
Graphics and Sound Score – (10/10) Can't think of how I would have changed it for the better!
This game will make those of us born in the 80′s feel like a kid again! For those experiencing the greatness of Legend of Zelda for the first time, this game is a wonderful introduction into the universe (Now go play all the old titles you young whipper snappers!). This game reminds me why Nintendo has survived some of the very poor decisions they have made over the years. When they make a great game, they make a really great game! So thank you Nintendo for LBW it is truly a title that will never leave my library and will be visited over and over again!
Overall Score (9/10) I want to give it a slightly lower score but I just can't. Even with its flaws, this game plays near perfect when all compiled together!
Everyone has wonderful passwords, right? I'm sure you've got a different one for every website you go to, with some crazy combination of upper case, lower case, numbers, and symbols. Nothing in there is personal, like a pet's name or your mother's birthday, and it would be absolutely impossible to guess. Right?
Ok ok, you can stop laughing. But that is the current suggested standard by people who are supposed to know this stuff. And they are 100%, absolutely, gut-wrenchingly wrong about everything. In light of the recent major losses of consumer passwords, it's time we had some hard conversations about password security.

Hello everybody!
I just wanted to hop on and give a quick update because it's been quite some time since our last post. Rest assured that BBG has not been sitting idly by! We have been very hard at work on Myrddin Tales: Episode One and planning for 2014 in general. We have a lot of upcoming plans for this year. First and foremost is Jason and I will be attending GDC again this year. This looks to be super exciting this time around as we purchased all-access passes and will be out there for the full week and attending tons of workshops. After we get back we'll be putting the finishing touches on Myrddin Tales: Episode One (check out screen shots below) and Jason and I will begin work on an episodic RPG project as well! (but more on that later) That's it for now but stay tuned for GDC updates, more news on our upcoming games, and probably a ridiculous amount of stories from us playing Titanfall…
Tony P
Hello all,
Jason and I are back from GDC and already we are planning our triumphant return! The event hosted about 23,000 successful and aspiring game developers and the environment was electric. We came back energized and full of ideas to make BBG a better all around company. Since our laptop broke on day two, we did not get to do any daily posts as promised, but I'll recap each day here so everyone can experience the greatness that was GDC!
Day 1 – Denver 5am MDT – Time to get up and get going. We quickly headed to the airport for our 8am flight. We needed to arrive early because we were flying standby and our seats were therefore not guaranteed. (Big shout out to our dear friend Chris Combs who provided the passes! The trip would not have been possible without his help.) Arrival and security at DIA was uneventful and we reached our gate about an hour and a half early and checked in. The attendant told us we would be called when our seat was assigned. We grew nervous as they began boarding the plane and we had heard nothing as to our status. There was also a crowd of people standing around who looked like they might be on the standby list as well. After watching everyone else board, we started to talk about what to do… then it happened: our names (or at least my name and a horrible butchering of Jason's last name as queens-something) were called. We were elated and quickly boarded and, on our way to the tunnel, we heard someone behind us ask about their seat only to be told that there were no more available; we nabbed the last two seats on the plane! Two hours of smooth flying later we landed in San Fran. We hopped on the next train to our hotel in Oakland (Another shout out, this one to Darrin Rosenberg, for helping us book an affordable hotel!) We dropped our stuff and headed back to San Fran and arrived around 1pm PDT. After a quick lunch, we grabbed our passes and began to soak in all the awesome! First stop was the expo floor where companies and developers could show off their stuff. We chatted with the Amazon Web Service people and got amazing help from one of their reps. We also grabbed some other flyers for stuff we thought was cool or could help us grow BBG. There was also the super packed IGF pavilion where all the sweet indie games that were nominated for awards could be played. Before we knew it, day 1 of the expo was over and we had about an hour before the Independent Games Festival Awards and Game Developers Choice Awards were scheduled to start, so we chilled for a bit and headed over to the awards. It was packed! We ended up sitting in the back but still had a great time watching some established and great up and coming companies win for their amazing work. Hosts Andy Schatz and Tim Schafer were entertaining and the ceremony was fun. On the way out we ran into our friend Dylan Jones and made plans to meet up the next day. Back to the hotel and sleep. Day 1 complete.
Day 2 – Up early and off to Frisco! We grabbed a light breakfast and then checked out GDC Play where some other indie games were on display. There was some cool stuff there to check out and before we knew it, it was lunch time. We met up with Dylan for lunch and chatted about everything GDC. Afterwards, we tried to plan what to do next. We were about to wander the expo floor again when Dylan texted us and said to head to the garden for some unorganized indie developer talks. This was one of the highlights of the whole trip. Since Jason and I couldn't get into many lectures with the passes we had, this was a great opportunity to get to learn from some of the industry greats. It was a large gathering of developers who could sign up to talk for 5-10 minutes about anything they wanted. We got to hear some great stuff in a variety of topics. We spent the rest of the day there soaking up everything we could. Since there was no after GDC activity planned like the previous night, we decided to hang out and try to find one of the legendary GDC parties. While waiting to hear if we could make into a party we met a new friend Wilson Leong of Binary Rebellion. We spent the next hour or so chatting and sharing about our ups and downs as small time companies. We then decided to try and take the party situation into our own hands. The three of us headed to where Blizzard was partying and tried, unsuccessfully, to make it in. We took this as a sign and headed back to the Hotel. Day 2 Complete, almost. Back at the hotel room, Jason managed to bend a hinge on the laptop wrong and took out the screen. No more computer!
Day 3 – Day 3 was a little more laid back as everything was winding down. We slept in a little and planned the day out over breakfast. We discovered that there were actually some lectures available to us that day so we make that the plan of action. The first lecture was a how to get a game programming job workshop with a panel of people in the industry. It was cool to hear these people speak to their experiences and successes working as game programmers. We then hit the expo floor again, this time a little less overwhelmed, and made sure to converse more and grab up as much swag as we could to bring back to our Colorado friends. Unfortunately, being Friday, most of the good stuff was gone. Soon, it was time for the last lecture of the day: a super cool Post Mortem on three sweet indie games. Penny Arcade 3, Dys4ia and Ziggurat. Each developer took a turn describing their experience of creating a game beginning to end. It was super inspiring to see people who were where we are not so long ago, and just like that, the convention was over. We decided to take it easy and just grab a drink with Dylan after. During drinks we met another new friend Laurent Lavigne creator of McDroid. We had a great chat about our companies and upcoming games. It was a great way to cap the convention.
All in all we had a great time and learned a lot. Can't wait to go back and experience even more!

I want to start by saying I am a huge GOW fan and have loved everything that has been released up until the point Ascension came out. I have played every title to completion including the handheld ports and 1 and 2 HD remakes. Kratos has been one of the most memorable and powerful characters to play in my entire 26 year gaming career. That being said, Ascension is quickly becoming the most boring chore of a game I have ever felt the need to finish. I have played approximately half of the single player campaign and haven't yet had fun or been challenged by anything that has happened.
What's wrong with the game, you ask? The strange answer to that question is I'm not sure. Solid combat system? Check. Huge boss battles? Check. Epic score and beautiful environments? Check and check. It's all there, everything that made the previous titles great to play, just minus the fun factor. It's simply not fun to play… It's like meeting a beautiful, successful woman who has everything you've ever wanted in a mate, but you have absolutely no interest or attraction to her what so ever. This series has given me so many quality nights of gaming that I WILL FINISH this game and give you all the other half of this review, but I am very concerned by the fact that the most fun I've had with this game is when Jason and I tried to figure out how to unlock the Last of Us demo that comes with the game. After struggling with the directions and trying hard to figure out what the hell the F and S buttons are (yes those are the actual instructions and I still have no idea what they were referring to) we used the code to activate the online pass and that gave us access to an amazing….Count Down Clock…Ohhhhhhhh….Ahhhhhh. But at least we laughed ourselves silly. So if you haven't already been duped like I have, wait and rent this title before you drop 60 hard-earned dollars on what so far has turned into one of the least memorable titles I have ever played.
Wish me luck with the rest of the game everyone!

Hello all!
It's been a great start to the year and it's only going to get better. Jason and I are heading to San Francisco for this years GDC and we couldn't be more excited! We are getting in early Wednesday and will be soaking in everything that we can until they make us leave Friday night! We're hoping to meet some new faces, show off some of the stuff we've been working on, and learn a ton about everything gaming!
Wanted to get some thank yous in as this trip would not have been possible without the help of our good friends Chris and Darrin! They're helping us get out there and have a place to rest our heads when we arrive. Also wanted to thank the lovely and talented Catherine Birkelo who worked double time to get us the necessary art assets to make the super awesome Myrddin Tales Demo we'll be showing off. She has done nothing but impress since joining the BBG team and busted her hump to meet the demands to make this demo possible.
We'll post daily as to the day's events and let you all know if anything super cool happens!
Happy Gaming All!
Tony P BBG

Fire-hall cost may rise: mayor
Controversial city property sale delayed
Mayor Sam Katz said the price tag of the fire-station replacement program may continue to climb now that city council has decided to delay the sale of three properties intended to offset its cost.
On Wednesday, city council decided against a plan to declare three properties surplus so they can be sold -- including fire-hall land on Berry Street and Grosvenor Avenue, and a strip of vacant land on Mulvey Avenue East in Fort Rouge. The city-owned properties were initially set to be traded in a land swap to Shindico Realty for Winnipeg's new fire-paramedic Station No. 12, which was built on Shindico-owned land on Taylor Avenue.
Council's property committee scrapped the land-swap deal last week and voted to buy the Taylor Avenue land from Shindico and declare the three city-owned properties surplus so they can be sold. On Wednesday, council voted to delay a decision on declaring the lands surplus and have the plans reviewed.
Katz said the proceeds from the sale were slated to go toward the cost of the fire stations and the city's purchase of the Shindico land on Taylor Avenue. He said there is a "strong potential" the city will have to come up with additional funds to pay a fair market price for the Station No. 12 land.
"The sale of those lands were supposed to go into the pot to pay for the fire-paramedic stations. If that doesn't happen, obviously there's going to be a shortfall," Katz said.
Property chairman Coun. Jeff Browaty (North Kildonan) said representatives from the Corydon community centre proposed using part of the former fire-hall land on Grosvenor Avenue for their athletic fields. He said a report on how the city will proceed will be considered in December.
"There's no panic in my mind when it comes to the three properties," he said.
The move came the same day council approved $2.5 million from next year's capital budget to cover cost overruns on four new fire-paramedic stations. The cost of the project rose to $17.8 million from $15.3 million, though the bulk of the cost increase -- $2.2-million -- was due to Station No. 11 on Portage Avenue.
Councillors called it a "lose-lose" situation because they were asked to approve additional spending without knowing a reason for the cost overrun. Senior city officials recently blamed design changes while Fire Paramedic Chief Reid Douglas blamed construction delays and said the design has not changed since early 2011.
Coun. Paula Havixbeck (Charleswood-Tuxedo) said there is something wrong with the procedure as she has yet to receive any meaningful answers to explain the increase. Coun. Harvey Smith (Daniel McIntyre) complained no one is accountable.
Protection and community services chairman Coun. Scott Fielding (St. James) said the fire-hall replacement program was plagued by administrative "screw-ups." However, he said if council did not approve the funds the city runs the risk of having a half-built fire hall that would be an "iconic symbol of incompetence."
City council voted 12-3 to approve the additional spending. Couns. Jenny Gerbasi (Fort Rouge), Brian Mayes (St. Vital) and Smith voted against it.
Other decisions made by city council Wednesday:
-- Canada Post office tower: Council voted against declaring the 11-storey tower of the Graham Avenue Canada Post building surplus so it can be sold. The city plans to sell it after the Winnipeg Police Service moves into new headquarters in the warehouse portion of the building in 2014.
-- Garbage review: Council shot down a plan to review how other Canadian cities manage garbage and recycling collection despite calls for Winnipeg to investigate whether it should split waste collection between the public service and private sector.
-- Chickens: Council approved a motion to direct the animal services department to consider urban poultry farming as part of an upcoming review of pet bylaws.

I also feel that all these disasters and warnings need not occur if we humble ourselves before the LORD, turn from our sinful ways, seek HIS face and pray, pray, pray. Be persistent in prayer...don't give up presenting your requests before HIM.
Nothing is written in stone
....it is all fluid. GOD is longsuffering, compassionate and loving towards HIS creation. HE wishes that all would come to HIM just as they are. I believe that this will be our salvation.
I am sorry to disappoint you but it is all written in stone
. That is because of the construct of our reality. We are living in the Past, everything that is going to happen, already has happened. When Jesus Christ declared from the cross..."It is finished"; it was because the redemptive process of all time had een acomplished.
This is a difficult concept to understand, but it is why Biblical prophecy is so accurate, because in the heavens, it has already occurred. (Eccl. 3:15) But Praise the Lord, God only holds us accountable for the things that are past, not on the things that we are going to do.
"I am sorry to disappoint you but it is all written in stone
here is what I meant. Jonah was sent to Ninevah to preach that if that nation doesn't repent, then it will be judged (probaby through conquest, as often the judgments were). He felt that Ninevah deserved destruction, therefore he ran away from this assignment from GOD. Hence, 3 days in the belly of a whale. When he finally did go and preach repentance to the Ninevates.....they repented! Something that was quite rare in those times! So the city of Ninaveh, who was targeted for destruction was spared (for a few hundred years).
That is what I mean my 'fluid'.....to GOD it is set in stone because HE is, HE was and HE is to come. HE sees the whole timeline all at once. But for us, our prayers and repentance definately make a HUGE difference in our personal lives, our country and ultimately the world.
So, in conclusion, if people will stop long enough to acknowledge GOD and HIS Son Jesus. If they acknowledge their sins and ask forgiveness and seek HIS face, then judgment can be averted. It is all about what truly lies in our hearts, spirit in souls.
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, 8 and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned.
Jeremiah 18:11-12
I am in no disagreement with what you are saying, but the Bible has this to say about that...
"Still they did not repent of their murders or of their thefts." This was the world's response to the judgment of God.
I do believe that freewill and pre-destination flow through time in harmony. I do not understand how, but I do not believe that God will ever cancel out freewill for pre-destination. God always gives mankind the opportunity to change, and there is always the opportunity for God to change according to effectual praying.
I believe this...That judgment of God is going to hit the earth, and that it wll draw the People of God to repent and to seek His face. That Judgment will destroy
Mystery Babylon the Great
(the NWO) and that five sixth of all Satanic Kingdoms will be harvested from the Earth to prepare for the Kingdom of God. I believe that according to the scripture it will take seven Months just to bury the dead that will fall with MBTG. And also according to Joel; that afterward, after those days, the Lord will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, and that will begin a great world revival that will cause all of the people of God to re-gather to Israel, and that Israel will accept Jesus as their Messiah. This is what is called "The budding of the fig tree" when Israel becomes a light to the Gentile Nations.
The key to understanding New Testament prophecy is found in the Old Testament prophets. Without Both, you can only get half the picture.

Thermofoil vs. Wood Cabinets
Planning to reface my cabinets -- remodel guy quoted me a price for both Thermofoil and wood (which I believe would be wood veneer) -- $1k more for wood. Not sure what to do. Of course I would like to save the money but not if I am going to hate my kitchen! My fear is that the Thermofoil would look cheap (I am one of those people who, for example, hates the look of vinyl siding and loves old homes because they're built with "real" materials). Ayone have any thoughts or advice on this? BTW, still vascillatng between white and walnut cabinets, which might also be a factor. Thanks!
I have thermofoil and can't wait to get rid of it. It looks cheap in my opinion. It also peels when exposed to high heat and can't be repaired. Avoid it.
We have white thermofoil. It was an insurance repair and we replaced with "like kind and quality." It is a nicer thermofoil that what we had. The doors are smooth no orange-peel-texture to them. They look similar to paint except there are not joints/miters. They've been installed for 1.5 years and so far no issues. My husband didn't want paint because he didn't want the miters to expand and contract - which would be very noticeable with white. If we had the money and were doing it again, I'd go with the painted wood, just because I'm not happy with the quality of these cabinets (Aristocraft), but so far the thermofoil is holding up well.
with a creative bent and tweaking around the space,thermofoil can be fine. What else do you have going?
Thermofoil can blend in....depends on what you do. If you want a showcase look from your cabinets,do something else. I've seen raised panel,white or cream thermofoil with detail and a crisp/smaller spaced/traditional kitchen turn out and keep the budget down. This all depends on your situation.
I think thermofoil isn't what it used to be ... like deb says above, they aren't the orange-peely texture of yesteryear, and the styling is definitely more upscale than it used to be.
familyreno's recent kitchen reveal thread is linked here, and she used themofoil cabinets that are just gorgeous:

You actually can repair thermofoil. A company in my area often does reno's on these cabinets. They us a hot gun to loosen and shrink and it scrapes off. Then they use denatured alchohol to clean and do tons of prep and other magic and paint with special paint and then coat with sealer. They look amazing and the finish holds up. The giveaway with thermofoil is that the corners in the detail are rounded and not squared and mitered. These rounded corners are why some people don't like the look of them. They have a molded look. I think thermo would look better if a little more off white rather than bright white. I have them in my bathrooms only and had them painted by the company in our area and they look great. They painted over the thermo they only take it off if it is really in bad shape. Using all of their products they seem to hold up really well. I went with an off white custom color. So far so good.
We moved into a home that the PO freshened up with some sort of thermofoil cabs. . . ours were not good quality. We knew that we would be doing work to the kitchen when we bought the house (as tiny as it is!) We actually cut our fingers on the edges of the doors and drawers because it was lifting from the mdf. I ended up peeling off all the covering myself which was a shame as they were a very pretty light honey color, not white.
I opted for painted white all wood maple cabs for my reno. They are not yet installed and I like all things old so the expansion and/or view of the joints would not be troubling to me.
Good luck.
We have white slab style thermofoil cabs (Ikea Applad) and just love them. It suits the look we wanted. They are not a very bright white, which worried me at first, but we liked the style of the doors with no seam better than their Abstrakt line, which was a glossy pure white.
We like the slightly softer edges on our doors and they clean up like a breeze. There will be no contracting or expanding and if one were to be damaged, we'd just slap a new one on. In fact, I was thinking the other day that we should buy some spare drawer fronts and doors "just in case". The cost would be small and it would be good to have some spares like when you put down tile and save the leftover box. The beauty of Ikea is that it is reasonable enough to do that and still be way ahead of the game.
>We have white slab style thermofoil cabs (Ikea Applad)
Applad is polyester paint, not thermofoil. It's the same finish as Stat and Lidingo, just a different style. Adel White is thermofoil, and the Abstrakt/Rubric colors are a kind of foil finish.
From ikea's page on applad door:

You don't like the plastic look....you know that :). You will not like thermofoil. I have quality thermofoil in this house and it is going to the free cycle ASAP. I also don't like surfaces which aren't somewhat natural. You will never like them, I guarantee.
Reading the responses to this question have convinced me that the thermofoil industry has not done a good job of making the public aware of what is available. I have had white thermofoil doors on basement storage cabinets for over 15 years and they're still as solid as can be. Yes, they look plastic because they have a heavy matte texture. However, thermofoil is now available in a satin finish that really does look like a high quality paint job.
Also, check out the link below for an example of some 5 piece thermofoil doors. This is not my company, nor do I work for them. I'm just convinced buyers don't even know this stuff is available.
Here is a link that might be useful: Five Piece Thermofoil Doors
I was quite surprised at one cabinet shop when I was told the cabinets that I was looking at were Thermofoil. I had to look very closely to see that they weren't painted maple. My niece has older Thermofoil cabinets that don't look remotely as nice as the new ones can look.
Thanks, writersblock. I always thought ours were Thermofoil, but I guess they are "polyester paint". It isn't as catchy a phrase, but we like them no matter what the name is, lol...
Those Thermofoil examples just above are amazing. Color me impressed. I'd love to see them in person just for the heck of it.
There are some nice thermofoil. This is what I'm getting.
You do need to make sure you get the heat shield for next to the range. But it really because of the self clean cycle.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ultracraft Thermofoil Slab
Now that I have seen the new styles of thermofoil doors I would not hesitate to use it especially since it is just so much more affordable and holds up so well. I admit that I didn't know it had come so far even from just a few years ago. It's neat that it comes in the darker colors now and also squared corners. Again, your kitchen is lovely, I love your granite and everything else. What a transformation!

Completely agree; great explanation
I've attempted to make some of the same points in several threads, but you are more eloquent than I -- or maybe more patient.
Of course we are guessing when we say that Rand had coaching, or at least an implicit okay, from his father before he made the endorsement. But our guessing makes a lot more sense than the GUESSING of those who assert (as if they are God) that Rand betrayed his own father (and us). And it is certainly a lot more Christian.
And the way things shaped up Rand's endorsement of Romney seems almost brilliant. A perfect setup for 2016. But, of course, I'm sure that's all ...just coincidence.

There's no confusing peat if you ask me. I used 2lbs in a barleywine and I know for a fact it was not beech/cherry wood smoked malt. I use Simpsons peated malt at Brew Masters Warehouse when I brew peat smoked beers.
As my barelywine recipe evolves I've been adding more and more peat and it's been getting smoother and smoother even at 11%abv. It's rather sublime with a nice aged Nicaraguan citar.
Going through life is hard.
Going through life stupid is harder.
I took a shot at this yesterday, stuck very close to the recipe. I tried roasting the malt. Roasted 1 lb at 350 for 30 minutes. The other pound I messed up so bought 1 lb Brown Malt to replace it. I noted that the lb. I did roast lost its peated odor so figured this was an ok replacement.
Mashed as in the recipe.Wow, lengthy mash. I enjoyed the step mash boil, don't know that it affected my OG ( I got 1080), but it may make the end product maltier or more caramel. Find out in a month or so.
Looks good, smells good, decent OG. When its in the keg I'll come back with taste profile and maybe some photos.
THanks for the recipe. If it turns out well this could become a standard. Love the idea.
Primary is going nicely. The beer smells super clean and malty.
Not quite a week in primary and I've racked it over to secondary. Added 1 oz. of Medium Toast French Oak and will leave it on for 7 days. Should provide a very gentle background oak flavour.
I tasted it on racking (1015). It was malty, slightly spicy hoppy and of course had a nice peat flavour. Not overwhelming at all. Lets see what a bit of aging and some oak will do to round it out.
This is grain
which any fool can eat. But for which the Lord intended, a more divine means of consumption. Let us give praise to our maker, and glory to His bounty, by learning about

Wow, I missed these last posts. Great to hear someone tried brewing this. Way to go Gordon. Isn't it rather amazing just how 'not peaty' it is given what the base it? I toasted the 2 lbs in a wok on my stove top. Just until the color changed to just about what your wort color is.
Yeah, it is a lengthy mash. Did you do a starch test or just follow my lead? Mine was starch test based.
So, it's been a few weeks now. How is it coming? Bottled or kegged yet?
So I suggested earlier doing an Eis version of this beer and after reading some of the tasting notes on this thread that is exactly what I will be doing after vacation. The plan is to use 50/50 Peated malt and Golden Promise (that may change to MO) I'm going top make 12 gallons and concentrate it down to 6 and put in a 3 time used Rum barrel for a nice long aging ~1year. I'm hoping for a Scotch liqueur type of drink. I'm going to mash as low as I can so I can get good attenuation out of it. I hope it works.
Great thread!
I'm curious - why the decision to go 50/50?
BTW, the mash schedule I give really gives a good attenuated ale. Actually, the toasting of 2 lbs was a direct result of how much it attenuated the first go around. But with your 50% GP, you many indeed may need to drop the temp somewhat.
I've been working with a local stiller and after some discussions we decidd to go this route. Some of it was because we are worried about risidule sweetness and smoke not playing nice after the concentration. We have also discussed using 10%
sugar to help dry it out. We are leaning towards the sugar.

PTA moves Child Rights Commission to save St Marys School principal

More than 20 days after the south zone education inspector sent a notice to the principal of St Mary's School (ICSE), Mazgaon, for being over the retirement age, Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) has moved Child Rights Commission stating change in the school and its functioning in the middle of an academic year would affect students adversely.
Fr Kenneth Misquitta (68) was appointed principal in 2011, said education department officials.
In its January 14 order, the department asked the school authorities to relieve Misquitta with immediate effect or face action.
However, parents opposed the order. "It's qualification and experience that should be given importance. Misquitta is an excellent educationist and a good principal," said one.
Hearing in the matter was held Tuesday morning.
"We are studying the case and have asked parents to file an affidavit. We will also see what the education department has to say. The matter will be taken up at the next hearing, the date for which is yet to be fixed," said Ujjwal Uke, acting chairman of Child Rights Commission and principal secretary of the women and child development department.
The matter came to light after a complaint was filed by Nana Kute Patil of NGO Buland Chhava. Patil had filed an RTI query to 39 private non-state board schools and the first reply he got was from St Mary's.
School education department officials said section 3 (1) of Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977, applicable to all private schools fixed the retirement age at 58.
Education inspector of south zone Balasaheb Mane said, "We sent two representatives to the hearing today. We will present our side at the hearing."
Misquitta was unavailable for comment.
