In one day developer ports Reindeer Roundup, his first Windows Phone game
December 17, 2013 Comments
How about a little fun and inspiration this holiday season? In the free Reindeer Roundup game for Windows Phone Santa has lost his gifts! Solve the addictively fun physics-based puzzles and challenges to help him collect the missing presents ready for Christmas day. Travel the world on your adventure and visit New York, Paris, London, Rome and Rio de Janeiro.
Reindeer Roundup is developer Christian West's first Windows Phone, app and he ported and published it during a one-day event just in time for the holidays. Christian considers himself a hobbyist developer who's contributed to ten published games in the last eight years and is now self-funding a project he expect to publish in 2014. Until Reindeer Roundup he had no experience developing for Windows Phone.
"I'd had quite a few requests to port the Reindeer Roundup to Windows Phone 8" Christian told us, "and saw a tweet from the Unity twitter account advertising a porting day in London and decided it was time. I hadn't owned a Windows phone device before so it was a chance to gain some knowledge and get first-hand experience of the Windows Phone SDK and market place. I'm now self-funding a larger project and I want to increase my awareness of the business in order to make better informed decisions. Of course I think Reindeer Round-Up is a fun festive game that people will enjoy and I hope to get as many people playing it and enjoying it as I can. The Windows Phone market place is definitely gaining traction and I'd be foolish to not be on it now."

Medical technology innovators and investors from across the country will gather Wednesday in Minneapolis for the 12th annual MedTech Investing Conference. With panels on alternative funding models, maximizing ROI, and the FDA on the agenda, we asked conference co-chair Dennis Wahr, CEO of Holaira, what insights life science and digital health entrepreneurs can expect to take away from the event.
Angel investors are wealthy individuals who make early-stage investments in and provide advice to startups. In a slump following the recession, angel investment rebounded in 2011 with angels investing $22 billion in entrepreneurs.
Looking for early-stage financing for your life science or digital health startup? Crowdfunding, in which individuals and teams can raise money over the Internet from dozens or thousands of sources in small amounts, has become a popular financing tool.
Traditional banks often don't know what to do with a business with no revenue and no developed product or service. But since bank financing is important for startups, it's a good idea to find a bank that understands startups' assets and the ebb and flow of startup sales and revenue cycles.
Despite an economy in flux, the pace at which the United States produces $100 million companies has been stable over the past two decades, according to a new Kauffman paper. But the locations and sectors in which those companies are created are changing.
The Kauffman Foundation's new multimedia channel, ID8 Nation, spotlights entrepreneurial communities throughout the country. The first featured city, Pittsburgh, transformed its economy through entrepreneurship and now hosts a number of diverse startups.

It appears the Eurobots are annoyed at your splendid use of humor to expose the true nature of how the EU works.
As usual they resort to their childish tactic of personal insults in order to censor you, unwittingly revealing their true nature in the process.
Your humor seems to rile these folks, gee I wonder why? LOL
"Huh?! How is a CDS a specilaized CDO? "
the CDS "spreads" the risk of sovereign default just like the CDO did to the risk of fulfillment of payment obligations .
Dear Dr. Plitplov,
You know, I like you, and I forgive you that being one of the Slakans, with their the most rigid code of immorality in the world, you are prone to judging by your own standard of measure. By no means it makes your fine input here less enjoyable!
"Josh, are you an actual i-banker, or are you just talking out of your ass?"
PS: He also claims to be a "military expert".
Only Polska EU politician give good tip!
Rest no take holiday!
Same COMECON time!!
"The problem of smaller countries' lack of sovereignty vis-a-vis larger countries exists in all continents."
Nice try but we are talking about sovereignity over finances which is a very different issue. In all continents countries have sovereignity over their own finances except in the Eurozone so your above remark is disingenious and intellectually dishonest for delibrately trying to confuse sovereignity over finances with foreign policy.
"Germany, France and Russia (with Italy manoeuvring about like a loose cannon) would anyway dominate Europe, with or without the EU."
However the Eurozone gives the Germans and French the opportunity to dictate the internal financial activities of small countries to suit German and French national interests.
"Instead, the EU provides rules for the game,"
Rules which are broken all the time by everybody.
"and thus protects the smaller fish like Belgium or Slovenia."
since the rules are broken they don't protect anybody except the big boys who can break any rule with impunity and get away with it. After all it was Germany which first broke the Euro's stability pact rules.
"How sovereign do you think the Duchy of Luxembourg would be anyway, without the EU?"
They were more sovereign before joining the EU, now their national interests will be subordinated to the nationals interests of the big boys.
"By your logic, Rhode Island and Delaware should never have agreed to sign either the Articles of Confederation or the Constitution of 1789."
Rhode Island and Delaware were fortunate enough to join a federation that gave small states the same number of seats as the the big states in the upper house of congress (senate). California with a population of over 30 million has the same power in the senate as tiny Delware.
And another big difference. Rhode Island and Delware joined a representative democracy not a pseudo- democratic organization like the EU which consistently disregards the voice of the people it claims to represent such as its forcing through a constitution despite a resounding NO vote .
"I sincerely hope that Polish citizens will contribute to English langauge blogs on their region, and not allow them to be swamped by Polish -and evidently other outsider trolls- for the "EU"."
The EU employees must be nervous because some of them are going around denouncing their Polish compatriots who do not toe the EU propaganda of "we are all one big happy family and we love our neighbors" as a more or less degranged minority.
Josh-Bot and his fellow bots have immediately stepped up their Polish-German love fest with their arrrogant presumption that they speak for all Germans and all Poles.
@Joe Solaris:
I think your intellectual dishonesty can be easily exposed by the examples of small European countries that are not part of the EUROZONE and do have sovereignity over their finances.
Iceland has managed to come off its debt crisis with less pain and much quicker than the countries in the EUROZONE like Greece.
Iceland unlike Greece has sovereignity over its finances and therefore was able to implement policies based on its national interests.
However Greece is subjected to the big boys in the EU who have dealt with the Greek crisis by putting their national interests above Greece. Which means the ordinary Greek has to suffer through austerity in order to protect incompetent & greedy German & French banks who hold billions of Greek debt.
The problem of smaller countries' lack of sovereignty vis-a-vis larger countries exists in all continents. Germany, France and Russia (with Italy manoeuvring about like a loose cannon) would anyway dominate Europe, with or without the EU.
Instead, the EU provides rules for the game, and thus protects the smaller fish like Belgium or Slovenia. How sovereign do you think the Duchy of Luxembourg would be anyway, without the EU?
By your logic, Rhode Island and Delaware should never have agreed to sign either the Articles of Confederation or the Constitution of 1789.
>"peaceful coexistence" - implies that Poland and Germany leave each other alone<
which is impossible :) That was the point.
(Btw. of course I don't think only the elites are pro-EU)
You don't mind I keep your word about the long-term project? :)
Have fun up there!
The issue of Poland in the EU is quite complicated. First of all, the Poles grew up from 1990 with the predicament, that we must join both NATO and the EU. It SHOULD have given us both the physical (i.e. military) and social (i.e. economic) security. The second stage has been the Euro Zone entrance – I used to work in the National Bank of Poland, and I can say, that the amount of analysis and preparations towards EURO membership is astonishing. The whole so called sovereign debt crisis forced Poland to hold our horses. Flexible exchange rate, and a very good PR campaign by the Polish government ("Crisis, what crisis?") worked wonders, to be honest worked quite better than "quantitative easing" and other economic policies, that were not taught at the regular macroeconomics policy lectures. Last two or three years gave Poland self-confidence to go out, and speak our minds. Sure, Polish GDP per capita is 1/3 of the German one. Yet, we are a nation of 40 mln people, in the heart of Europe, with the potential of GNP reaching, say, half of the French in the next 20-30 years. Germany is built on exports, and to be honest, we have much more in common with the teutonic economic regime, that the Italians will ever have. To put it differently, we pray to the same macroeconomic God, but in a little bit poorer church. If Germany wants to increase their export, where the trade is going to go? Eastern Europe is their backyard. A "growth area" as my German friends tend to describe it. Oh, farming subsidies? Polish farmers tend to spend them on equipment. You might see a Lamborghini tractor around, but the "equipment" usually carries a BMW or Mercedes-Benz badge. I live in the countryside Poland, in the "poorer" eastern part of the country, so I am well placed to judge ;) I don't think the Germans will complain in the endgame.
Tusk will win the next election. The only question lies with the margin of win. One can predict that two key ministers, Sikorski and Rostowski will stay for the next 4 years. Both are more British then Polish, but I consider this as an advantage. The Britishness without the crazy Eurosceptism. You should really appreciate the advantages of having a longstanding "old hand" aboard. I think the Polish-German axis is to stay. I hope, with a glimmer of doubt, that EURO will survive. If not, I am pretty sure the talks about the new monetary union of the "European Mark" will concentrate among "Northern Europe".
So... (he has led us off topic, I know)
He probably works for something like European Investment Bank in Luxembourg or its sister the EFB also there. These are EU institutions that serve no purpose other than to monitor activities by real banks, assemble packages to offer conditions to clients using funds from "real" banks tailored to the "EU" agenda, and obviously to create further EU cadres at taxpayers' expense.
The Polish posters on this thread are the most informative which is unsurprising.
Also unsurprising, since the thread discusses the Polish "EU" presidency, is that the Polish "political class" is and will be signing from rather a different sheet to the Polish people, with their attention on the most expedient way in which to approach the Brussels trough in order to benefit their careers and those of their lobbyists, rather than the people that they are supposed to represent, which is a democratic practice that unfortunately is never encouraged by the "EU".
Inevitably there will be a huge gulf between the interests of this vocal unrepresentative minority and the reality of the vast majority of Poles.
I sincerely hope that Polish citizens will contribute to English langauge blogs on their region, and not allow them to be swamped by Polish -and evidently other outsider trolls- for the "EU".

"Don't you think CDS is a kind of a CDO? And that it will eventually burst? This is the conclusion I got to on the bus :-)"
A CDS indeed is a special form of CDO.
As to whether "it" - you mean the CDS market, I guess - will eventually burst, I don' t know.
But I do think that these overleveraged derivatives have contributed greatly to creating this financial crisis, as they greatly reinforce trends.
One can only wonder why regulation has' t gotten any tighter since the crisis broke out. But there is a lot of money at stake, and Wall Street has a huge influence on Capitol Hill, unfortunately, since political campaigns in the US depend heavily on donations from campaign contributors, of which Wall Street firms are some of the biggest (for both parties).
The situation hasn' t gotten any better when the US Supreme Court decided last year that PACs (political action committes) can now donate unlimited amounts of money to candidates (!) AND do no longer have to reveal where they got the money from (!!). It' s sickening, really.
@ Forlana:
The term "peaceful coexistence" - referring to détente between the two blocks in the 1970s - was meant as a joke, but I admit it doesn' t quite fit in this context as it implies that Poland and Germany leave each other alone, but also largely ignore each other – which of course is neither the reality any more nor really a future option.
I don' t quite get this:
"The possible outcomes may be:
1. elites manage to keep the EU; compare-->
2. EU project fails."
Do you want to say by this that it is only the elites that keep Germany in the EU? That' s not my observation at all.
As I have said earlier – and not only with regard to Germany, but also the Netherlands, which I also know quite well – VAST majorities are still in support for the EU; the majority of Germans (and Dutch) is against the bail-out mechanisms, but the latter doesn' t have much to do with the former.
Let' s assume the Euro fails: I still can' t see how Germany would leave the EU, and I haven' t yet read a poll that suggested otherwise. Even nearly all of those who are against the euro in Germany are FOR the EU.
Polish-German relations:
It has been my perception since the late 1990s that the relations between the two societies are quite stable, and cross-border cooperation/ interaction has increased dramatically since then.
On the political level, there was a period of disruption which in Germany is equated with the government of the Kaczynskis (Kaszyńscych;-)) from 2005-2007, but had in reality more complex causes.
After that, Germans felt, the ball was in Poland' s field, to use your analogy. Remember – it was president Lech Kaczynski who suspended e.g. the trilateral German-French-Polish cooperation in the "Weimar Triangle".
Primeminister Donald Tusk quickly picked up the ball after taking office, though, and today, relations are as close as never. Last weekend Merkel was in Gdansk at a private invitation of President Komorowski – her mother was born here (I' m in Gdansk today).
Actually, the change in German-Polish relations is still quite stunning.
To be honest, I don' t see much substantial conflict between PL and GE, and I don' t see "lingering prejudice" against closer political cooperation with Poland in Germany anymore - quite to the contrary. The same "lingering prejudice" was quite widespread in Poland a few years ago, as well, as you will remember, and it seems to be receeding quickly, too. Good!
On the political level, I think it is obvious the German government seeks relations with Poland that are as close as those to France. On a societal level and talking from my own experience meeting German business people doing business in Poland, I haven' t yet met ONE who wasn' t very bullish about German-Polish cooperation.
Another visible sign things are changing is that more and more publications now refer to Poland as a "Central European" instead of an "Eastern European" country, which nearly all of them used to do until recently. Since Germans consider themselves as Central Europeans that' s a sign the feeling of foreigness is lessening.
Call me boring, but I' m very optimistic.

@Josh-Germany the pathological liar
"it IS easy to miss the JEWISH MUSEUM in Berlin because it is off the beaten track quite a bit,"
Der Spiegel:
"His design for the Jewish Museum in Berlin, which was completed in 1999, created a central location in the German capital to remember the Shoah."
Der Spiegel says the Jewish museum is in a central location - oh oh another case of Josh the pathological liar getting caught red handed in one of his lies. lol
@ Sherryblack, the pathological manipulator of texts:
Still at it with your trademark insults, as I see, so I guess it' s only fair to return the favor at some point.
The Spiegel article does NOT say "the Jewish museum is IN a central location" – it says that it "CREATED A CENTRAL LOCATION in the German capital to remember the Shoah". That' s something different – and even your English should be good enough to tell the difference.
As I said, the Jewish Museum is off the beaten track, being located about 1-2 miles south of the center of the city. Which of course you' d know had you really been there. But you haven' t, evidently.
But thanks again for mentioning again and again that MILLIONS of Germans have already visited the JEWISH MUSEUM in Berlin, one of the three national memorial sites consecrated to commemorating the nazi terror. As I said – and you thus confirmed – Germans do a pretty good job at commemorating WW2 adequately.
The HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL in the very center of Berlin is even better frequented. And then there' s always the "TOPOGRAPHY OF TERROR", also centrally located.

Then New Europe Poland will become "Northern Greece"!
Your comment about Lenin's return to Russia in a sealed train is correct but you have confused the timing. That was arranged in 1917 by the Germans in the expectation that Lenin's return (with some 26 other communists) to Petrograd will undermine Russia's resistance and bring about the end of the war. They were right up to a point but did not anticipate long term consequences of the revolution.

CAPITAL CULTURE: Obama Christmas: no small feat
Also new: This year's party schedule has been adjusted to accommodate a first family with young children. There are fewer weekend parties and more daytime receptions during the week, when 8-year-old Sasha and 11-year-old Malia are off at school.
And, in tight economic times, it wouldn't do to look too extravagant. So this year's trees feature "recycled" ornaments from presidents past that were shipped all over the country to community groups, which redecorated them with scenes of local landmarks. It was part of what staff described as an effort by the Obamas to ensure a frugal and environmentally friendly holiday season.
Overall, there appear to be fewer trees and decorations this time than in some over-the-top years past, and the same is true of the Christmas card list. Several hundred thousand have been mailed out, paid for by the Democratic National Committee. That compares with 1.5 million sent out by George W. Bush in 2003, paid for by the Republicans.
Mrs. Obama's office did not reveal the cost of this year's holiday festivities, but said a standard amount for holiday entertaining is set aside in the White House budget. And each year, costs are held down by a host of volunteers clamoring to help dress up the White House. This year's volunteers included Simon Doonan, creative director of Barneys New York. He helped design the displays.
Like the Obamas, past presidents and first ladies have set a thrifty tone in austere times. Betty Ford went with a patchwork-trimmed tree for 1974, and distributed instructions so families around the country could make their own decorations. Pat Nixon cut way back on Christmas lights during the energy crisis in 1973.
Over the decades, though, White House holiday festivities generally have become more elaborate, according to Jennifer Pickens, whose new book "Christmas at the White House," details how holiday celebrations have grown.
The pasty chef's creation of a gingerbread house, for example, began in 1969 with a simple A-frame built with 16 pounds of gingerbread and six pounds of icing. This year's 56-inch-by-29-inch re-creation of the White House weighed in with 140 pounds of gingerbread coated with 250 pounds of white chocolate.
Jacqueline Kennedy in 1961 began the tradition of establishing a decorating theme for White House Christmases, selecting "The Nutcracker Suite."
This year's theme is "reflect, rejoice, renew," which is embroidered on the blue ribbons used to hang ornaments.
It's all a long way from the days of Abigail and John Adams, the first couple to spend Christmas at the White House. Mrs. Adams burned more than 20 cords of wood during the first White House Christmas party to try to keep her guests warm, Pickens said, but it wasn't enough and many chilled guests left early.

Sasuke's gear... (quest mode)
#141krazyninjaman3(Topic Creator)Posted 7/17/2014 3:48:34 PMmessage detail
Thank you, I will do the same. It is the principle of the matter.
By the way, I so wanted that shiny lamp thing, it looks really boss; I cant believe I didn't order the LE edition like I always do, but I have the game though. I own all the games actually, I even own the original Metal Gear 1 for the MSX2, case and booklet included (very good condition too). Never played it though because I do not own an MSX2, and even if I did, don't think I would get it to work in North America lol. I am still missing MG2 Solid Snake for the MSX2, but I of course have the games translated in the original on emulator and of course the MGS3 Subsistance disk (although the MG2 game is updated in graphics which I did not like)
Even though Swcloud is my arch-nemesis on gamfaqs, he's still not such a bad guy even though I defeat him over n over again so much that I'm embarrassed for him

Nice. I only got both 2 and 3 Subsistanwhatever PS2 discs, HD Collection for VIta, LE Rising, MGS3D for 3DS, and PW for PSP. Also have both Ac!d games including the "3D" goggle attachment for Ac!d 2. Random japanese models popping out in front of my face is delicious.
I was actually playing MG in class on my Vita today. XD I've never played the original games so figured I should tackle that along with my backlog during summer. Only around in beginning or so.

I actually finished MG1 and MG2 SS, they.... haven't aged well to me lol.
I also have both Ac!d games (with goggle) and actually I was a huge vet on the MGA1 and 2 boards. I have a great topic for MGA2 on really awesome deck builds (I have the ultimate game save that the mods rejected for MGA2 that only some board users got - I can always re-upload it to a seperate site if you want it though) and my Ultimate MGA1 game save was a huge hit on this site that the mods actually accepted (This was before they realized I was a huge troll, now I am blacklisted from contributing codes or gamesaves to this site).
On the MGA2 board I built a deck that does the most damage possible than any other deck can possibly do in one turn...
here is the post from the board (revised from post #13 and #14)...
i now present to you...
Infinite Turn, Liquid Fear, Interferance, Anti-armor, Infinite ammo, FAMAS, Ultimate Damage Deck! (with Hind D Support)! (aka Liquid Fear Famas deck)
- FAMAS/G1 (non upgraded)
055 - Double Shot x 2
060 - Briefing x 2
062 - Action++ x 2
068 - Double Action x 3
073 - Extra Turn x 2
124 - Liquid Snake x 1
148 - Johnny Sasaki x 2
193 - The Fear x 1
294 - Solid Snake (MGS4) x 1
326 - Five Seven Tactical x 1
350 - Double Shot x 2
355 - Briefing+ x 2
364 - Extra Turn+ x2
389 - Ginji-San+ x 1
419 - Meiling+ x 1
434 - Johnny Sasaki+ x 2
437 - Solid Snake (MG)+ x 1
440 - Metal Gear+ x 1
462 - N.S. Sokolov+ x 4
475 - The Fear+ x 4
483 - Hind D+ x 1
Equip Order:
Top Left: Solid Snake(MG)+
Top Mid: Five Seven Tactical
Top Right: The Fear
Mid Left: Liquid Snake
Mid: FAMAS/G1
Mid Right: The Fear+
Bottom Left: The Fear+
Bottom Mid: The Fear+
Bottom Right: The Fear+
The FAMAS can use M4A1 rounds as ammo, which means you get 8 shots.
When paired up with all those double shots, that amounts to 40 rounds instead of the abakan maxing out at 25.
lets do the math for this new deck....
From front of LIVING enemy: 300 x 40 = 12,000
From front of MACHINE enemy: 340 x 40 = 13,600
From back and above LIVING enemy: 12,000 x 2.5 =30,000
From back and above MACHINE enemy: 13,600 x 2.5 = 34,000!!!!
So this deck can very likely do 34,000 damage in one turn, and at least pull of 12,000. Much better damamge in one turn than even the Super dragon/999 cost deck can do (9999 damamge).
The high number of cards does cause this deck to stall alot within the first two shuffles, that is until you start equipping alot of your cards and thus they are no longer inside your deck to clutter it up. Once you get everything equipped - its smooth sailing!
just a side note, if you want even more damage in a single turn, you can get rid of the solid snake (for infinite ammo) and equip another fear, and instead of the hind D you can use another Sokolov. I like the deck the way i have it though, but thats if you want to squeeze out every last drop of damamge.

Ah cool thanks. Seems useful for bosses and such, but not for me since I like to go in stealthy and not kill anyone. XD
#145krazyninjaman3(Topic Creator)Posted 7/18/2014 5:51:19 AMmessage detail
Actually it is not a useful deck at all. It is simply intended to deal the most possible damage in a single turn. Setting it up for that one shot is completely impractical.

Anyways, I was going to post how I thought they needed to make Batman into a spec ops soldier to fight terrorism abroad for the army.
Now they will never know my theory on that board...

Yes it does, but I have a new topic on the Assassin's Creed Unity (PS4) board that has taken its place. It is very insightful and educational. I'm helping so many people there. It is a nice feeling.

Comment: Phone cameras and "point 'n' shoots" (Score 2) 422
I HATEHATEHATE them. They don't do what I want, impose their own priorities, and make it impossible for me to tell them (quickly, or at all) what *I* want to do. When I hit the shutter button, that's not a suggestion; I want the shutter to trip at that exact moment, not dick around trying to focus on what it thinks I want. I know what I want; I often shoot in "M" mode on DSLRs, and I can judge exposure by the "sunny 16" rule -- if it's sunny, the exposure is f 16 at 1/ISO speed.
If they had a camera phone which let me set ISO, f stop and shutter speed easily, and allowed for easy manual focus and *instant* shutter release, I might feel differently.

Hey guys,
My question to you guys is how far is your house from the happiest place on earth: Disneyland? and how long does it take to get there?
As for me, I live about 27 miles from my house to Disneyland. It takes me 2 freeways to get there - the 60 east and 57 south and then exit ball road.
Now I no longer exit ball road, but exit Katella ave to park at my favorite and fastest parking - Toy Story Parking lot.
It usually take me about 40 min from my house to the time I park my car at Toy Story parking.
Here's a video of my 27 miles journey from my house to Disneyland in xtreme speedup in less than 1 min. 30 second. My video will end with me taking the tram in and the video will close with Sleeping Beauty Castle. Enjoy!

We've told you about the best tablets, the best cameras, the best gaming gear and a few more, and today our attention turns to gadgets that can help with both work and play: laptops. If you're thinking of buying a new laptop this holiday season, whether for a family member, a friend or yourself, you'll want to consider one of the choices below. (Also, don't forget to consider all our laptop buying tips.)
On a Budget Choices
Samsung Chromebook
Not everyone needs a super-powerful computer with all the bells and whistles. If all you want to do with your laptop is surf the web and only surf the web, there's the Samsung Chromebook. This laptop runs Google's Chrome OS, which means it is really just a Web browser. But that means you'll be able to check your email, watch YouTube, monitor your Facebook feed and work in Google Docs for a good part of the day before having to reach for a charger. And even better it's only $249. Remember, though, you only get a browser here — no downloadable apps, no Microsoft Word, etc. ($249, Amazon)
HP Pavilion G6
If you're looking for those Microsoft programs and full-on Windows, HP's Pavilion g6 is one of the best budget laptops out there. You won't get a touchscreen with it, but you will get a comfortable keyboard, decent track pad, dual-core AMD processor and 4GB of RAM for $499. The mostly plastic build isn't going to be as stellar as the next group of laptops we take you through, but it's a good, inexpensive machine to share with the kids and family. ($479, HP)
Click Here for More From Our Holiday Gift Guide
Windows 8 Touchvertibles
With Windows 8 came a new operating system based on touch, and with that came a number of new laptop/tablet hybrid machines. Here are three good choices if you are considering a convertible.
Acer Aspire V5
Most of the laptops with touchscreens will cost you more than $900, but not Acer's $730 Aspire V5. The laptop's exterior isn't as well built as the others we list below, but you get a lot internally, with a Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. The 15-inch edge-to-edge glass display has a touchscreen but it also has a wide track pad and backlit keyboard. ($730, Amazon)
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga
Now we're getting into the fun. The IdeaPad Yoga is a laptop, but it also flips around into a tablet. Push the back of the 13.3-inch screen and you can fold the laptop into a tent and then into tablet. Get the yoga part now? The touchscreen is very responsive when navigating Windows 8, but even when you aren't using it as a tablet it has a comfortable keyboard and touch pad. For $999 you get a Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM and a fast 128GB solid state drive. ($999, Lenovo)
Dell XPS 12
Lenovo's not the only one that provides some fun. Dell's XPS 12 is based on a similar idea — the laptop's 12-inch screen flips around in its frame. Flip it and then push it down over the keyboard and you've got a tablet. The XPS 12 has similar internals to the Lenovo with a Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB solid state drive. It's a bit heavier than the Lenovo and the track pad isn't as good, but it's got a backlit keyboard and a higher resolution screen. ($1,199, Dell)
For those looking for something a bit more traditional there are the good old very thin and light laptops.
MacBook Air
The MacBook Air is the best thin and light laptop money can buy. It has a strong aluminum unibody design, backlit keyboard and the best track pad of any laptop on the market. Apple's offers the 11-inch version for $999 with a Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and a 64GB solid state drive, but most will be better off with the bigger 13-inch screen, which starts at $1,199 and has more storage. It might seem pricey, but it's a laptop that will last. Those who need more power should look at the new 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. ($999, Apple)
ThinkPad X1 Carbon
The Air is the best blend of portability, design and ergonomics, but those who prefer Windows should go for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. The laptop is a ThinkPad through and through, with a sturdy black build, new backlit keyboard, smooth track pad and Lenovo's trademark red pointing stick. Lenovo is also offering it now with a 14-inch touch screen. The 2.9-pound Windows 8 laptop is powered by a Core i5 processor, up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of solid state storage space. ($1,249, Lenovo)

Only problem with this narrative is this: We in the military have already known the facts of this case, since 2009 in fact. It was no secret that he deserted. I'll never make excuses for FOX (Or MSNBC for that matter) but just because they are repeating what we've known for years doesn't automatically make the accusations against Bergdahl false. Really folks, making him out to have "honorably served" is a slap in the face to all that have actually never abandoned their post or served.

Not really a problem. Socialized medicine does allow for specialists to serve rich clients. There will still be Doctor Tummy Tuck and Face Lift for movie stars. Doctors shouldn't expect to get rich as a general practitioner. That's for people that become doctors because they want to help the public stay healthy.

"Fast paced company "

I have been working at CNL Software full-time (more than 5 years)
CNL is a small fast paced company, which demands a lot from its team members, but offer a unique place to accelerate a career. If you have ambition and want to make a mark than this is the place to do it.
I have seen lots of people come through the company, make a huge impact over a number of years and leave to find a role they would ever have been able to get without the experience they had at CNL. It is not an easy ride, some days it can be tough, but at the end of those days, I do feel that I have achieved something significant. If you are like me and want to work in a company that is trying to achieve something no one has done before and where you have the opportunity to push the boundaries of your abilities then consider CNL. If you are happier following a well-trodden path, then consider somewhere else.
The company is fairly flat, so senior management have a good understanding of what everyone is working on, some people see this as negative, but others enjoy the fact that their efforts are seen throughout the company.
The office is not in the best location, traffic can be bad on some days. The office is also not the newest or best equipped, but it is a good environment to focus on work without distractions.
You can't please all of the people all of the time, don't let the actions of a few change a winning formula.

None that I can think of that have not already been stated by the other valuable contributions from Ex-CNL staff.Cons
When six full-time staff leave a company in six months and take with them valuable experience and knowledge, it is pretty clear that something fundamental is wrong. Especially when you add these departures to all those full-time staff who left in 2013. For people reading these voluntary contributions, this is not about retribution, it is about sharing our combined experiences of working in an organisation that treats its staff in such a way that the churn rate is typically > 50%.
Everyone knows that the US office for CNL Software Inc was a PO Box, until the entire US team resigned. As for the announcements regarding how wonderful everything is, maybe someone should ask previous and existing customers, some of whom who are still waiting for software fixes and upgrades about their experiences, in order to obtain an accurate picture.
I am sure this review will result in more rhetoric from the owners of CNL, as opposed to reflection and positive change in their management styles or acceptance that they do not have the necessary skills to retain experienced, professional full-time employees. An IT software company without experienced, knowledgeable professionals, is unlikely to succeed in a growingly competitive market.Advice to ManagementAdvice

I worked at CNL Software full-time (more than a year)Pros
Former reputation of business with large corporate customers looks good on your cv, even if you had little part of it, aided by the Sales and Marketing.Cons
Sales and Marketing should be renamed to "Smoke and Mirrors" as we're told everything is going great when simple checks outside the business show otherwise. No wonder we're told who we can talk to and who we can not.
Really bad blame culture, there are few friends here and back patting this week can easily become backstabbing the next as most people are simply looking out for themselves. This is not good for the business. If blame can't be passed internally then blame is aimed at those that have left - in some cases years ago. Failing that blaming the customer is always good in the hope that they will stop being a "difficult" customer and leave after paying upfront.
There is no innocent until proven guilty in this business and unfounded accusations are often made with no investigation or few apologies afterwards.
Lack of quality as many developers don't test and the same bugs keep reappearing. Some are all talk and state why they shouldn't be doing a feature, or that its too hard to do. You're paid well over the going rate so if you can't do it then go and do something you can - work in McDonalds where you're not endangering someone's life.
Management have been badly appointed from internal and external inexperienced sources with no leadership skills and often poor technical skills. Combined with no training this is doomed to fail. Several potentially good appointments have been overlooked or made too late to stop staff leaving.
With so many bad management appointments, widespread lack of professionalism and talent, and public domain checks I fear this business is way less than worthless.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Grow up. Seriously.
You're in a serious market place protecting lives - so act like you care and start with your staff. Lack of training, high salary expectations and poor attitude has left many that will struggle to get new employment when they have to.
This is the security business not the protection business so stop running the family Firm, with your "adopted family" Management, with fear and mistrust. It's only Knaphill not London's East End in the 1960's.
Understand that when staff leave quoting "personal reasons" its because you don't listen and being blanked for the last days rather than bullied just makes leaving more comfortable.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

I only stayed one night but the staff is so nice, the beds are confortable with lockers. The breakfast is good, they even give you a free caïpi on arrival. This is one of the best hostels i stayed in. The staff gives the best advice!
The best hostel my friends and I have stayed in while in Brazil. The staff couldnt be more friendly and helpful. The rooms are airy and clean. The common area is good craic and there is a great atmosphere in the hostel. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone.
I had the best time staying at Che Lagarto for Carnival and my birthday!
All the staff are wonderful and so friendly and caring, and they all made a huge fuss of my birthday which is really nice when travelling alone.
As for Carnival, you can not be in a better location staying in Che Lagarto- 1 minute walk to...
it was a great location,close to beach and nice area ,but the price for hostels is not ....
The hotel charge me nightly 90 BRL
just very good to stay for 1 person
For more than 2 person if you rent the apartment is better choice
Stayed there over carnival and it was absolutely incredible. The staff were so welcoming and chatty that it created a great atmosphere where everyone bonded very quickly (I was travelling solo so this was very good). Location was incredible, a 15 min walk to the metro and a minute (at most) to the beach. Party's every night was also brilliant...
I went there last Carnival, in February 2015, and I had a very good time. The staff is the best one that I have ever seen in a hostel. Everybody is very friendly and helps you whatever you need. I had a problem with my lock and immediately they help me to solve. The location is perfect. Very near the...
We stayed at Che Lagarto during the whole 2015 carnaval time. We feel that we got VIP service! In the hostel and its surroundings we felt safe. It is very secured and the hostel is very clean with good atmosphere. The staff was welcoming and helpful! Special thanks to Kai, Laura, Juliana and Ricardo for doing above and beyond for...
In October 2014 I went to Rio de Janeiro for a weekend stay. When I arrived at the hostel, my reservation had been canceled by someone of the staff. I had to search for a new place to stay while at Rio (I was turned into a homeless in Rio for a few hours). Fortunately, I found another place to...
My favorite hostel yet! Great atmosphere that's is created by the wonderful staff, there is nothing that is too much . You are greeted every day with the staff's happy and friendly personalities . Fun vibe at night,very social there is always something going on.
Very clean, super comfy beds and perfect location. I stayed on 3 different occasions within...
A very nice hostel to stay and meet new people. The beach is near and the night life is all there. The location is very good and the staff is friendly and they have really good vibes. Enjoyed my stay there.
As I only want to stay for one night can I book a private room. If so how much would it cost ( in June 2015). Also can I get a transfer at 7.30pm from the Rio airport to the hostel?

Hey quasimod!
Oh how I remember those days of truckin! I don't drive anymore due to arthritis, but my hubby and I teamed for 12 years. I really miss it sometimes! You know what they say about getting trucking in your blood! We hauled electronics coast to coast, and I don't miss East coast traffic!
Glad you joined our group! BTW, post when you can, you're always welcome!
Take care and have a safe ride!
Hey Fishin' Cricket!
Welcome to our group! I live near Lebanon, too! I vaped the other day at Country Kitchen (in the smoking section), and got a lot of strange looks! lol! I didn't get any questions except from the waitress, but everyone else was hanging on our every word!
I've yet to see anyone else vaping around here. But I hope it will catch on!
We hope to have a big get together soon. Maybe when the weather gets nice.
Hope to see you there!
Take care!
Hello idlethreat!
I didn't see your post! Sorry about that!
Welcome to the group! Hope to see you at our (still in the planning stage) get together!
Take care!
Please bear with me! My ADD is really acting up!!

hey trukin! I didn't know you vaped at Country Kitchen! AWESOME! I bet you did get some strange looks. With everyone being "non-smoking" in every !@#$% public place, it's great to see e-cigs making their way into the "smoking" arena. Now cough when you see the "smoke". LOL
Hey Prgal!
It was different! I hope e-cigs catch on! I don't like being treated like a second class citizen because I smoke! (soon to be an ex-smoker of analogs!) I promise not to get on my soapbox!
I know what u mean. Since I've been an analog smoker x 30 yrs; I've seen the culture go from being promoted and acceptable to being something similar to doing illegal drugs in public. I know public opinion changes, but I too get sooo tired of being treated like a second class person, because I CHOOSE to smoke.
I know what you mean! What really bothers me is banning smoking outside in the open air!! I can understand an inside ban, but outside (away from the door) is blatant discrimination! But I don't believe a lawyer would take on a legal case such as that. There are some who feel guilty for smoking, and maybe they accept such restrictions because of that guilt. Oh, Oh, I'm on my soapbox now!

The issues with GTAV's Social Club are related to networking hardware/services. Rockstar said users can log into the Support Site and click Subscribe to receive an automatic email notification when the issues are resolved.
Problems with the iFruit app for GTAV include login errors, endless loading spinners, and the app appearing to reset data. "Rest assured that we are working to resolve this as quickly as possible," Rockstar said.
GTAV launched yesterday for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game is expected to outpace sales of 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV and generate $1 billion during its first month, according to one analyst.

Ocean City Gets New Communications Manager
By Don Rush
OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) - Ocean City has named a former police spokeswoman as its new communications manager.
The Daily Times of Salisbury reports that Jessica Waters beat out nearly 100 other applicants for the position. The 28-year-old replaces longtime Ocean City spokeswoman Donna Abbott, who has been promoted to tourism director.
Waters has worked for the police department since 2007, and spent a year in a part-time advertising and marketing role with Northside Park.
