Thread: Your first bad game?
Restricted Area. I was convinced that it would be a Diablo-like of sufficient quality, with a good graphics engine, deep skilltrees, and a fascinating future setting. What I got was one of the most awful and unbalanced messes of all time.
Maybe it's a bit early for me to come to this conclusion but....
I'm pretty anal about researching a game before I buy it so the most recent one I can remember is Deus Ex GOTY. I know it's supposed to be this masterpiece but I'm two missions in and it's not that fun. The supposed "decisions" you make don't alter my gameplay experience in any way. Like when you are clearing out Clinton castle I found the alternate entrance but it still ended in killing everyone, no alternate way to accomplish the mission or anything. If I'm being premature in my evaluation please berate me because I really do want to like this game. In the words of the wifey "it's just so dated!"
In that part for exaple you don't need to go outside in the castle, just locate the container and come out by the alternate entrance.
The game provides you with enough paths to approach thing differently. There aren't earth shattering decisions that will change your game completely, but it truly lets you play as you see fit.
There's definitely alternate routes - you can play the whole game without using a weapon.
I don't know what my first bad game was, as there's just been far too many over lots of different formats through the years.
But I can tell you what my most recent one is. Two Worlds 2. I spent hours plodding through this most dull mediocre RPG building up my character, only to find that regardless of how you built your character up the final boss requires a cheap shooting gallery game to destroy it. The fact that it can easily kill you with its powerfull attacks is made all the worse by the fact that they've disabled the save feature during this lengthy final battle. Why? What mean sadistic streak made them do that? Meaning that if you die you have to start it all over again right from the start. To call it a slap in the face would be an understatement, more like a kick in the teeth. Most underwhelming dissapointing game I've played for ages. And no I didn't bother trying to kill the boss. After 5 or more attempts I said good riddance to the game and uninstalled it.

Pool of Radiance 2 was my life lesson in not buying things based on name recognition. I ran out and grabbed the very first box I could find despite being an unemployed recent graduate. Then I install it to find a stripped down engine, crazy pre-alpha 3rd ed rules, dialogue that made no sense, quests that couldn't be finished and the list goes on...
I really, really wanted to like that game as much as I loved the original but I just couldn't.
Myth III is a pretty close runner up for worst game IMO.
As for Deus Ex: I'd acknowledge that the engine hasn't aged well, but it's still one of the most open-ended RPG/FPS hybrids I've ever seen. However, it doesn't hold your hand through making choices like talking rather than fighting, hacking into a terminal because you guessed the password or deciding to be a pacifist no matter what. The alternate routes are more akin to Nethack voluntary challenges are conducts, and some are quite difficult to pull off.
I had more fun beating the first level of Deus Ex as a pacifist than I did completing entire lesser games. Then there was the level (Hong Kong?) where I snuck in, accomplished the mission, put laser trip mines in every doorway only nearly kill myself jumping out the window because the CAT triggered the mines! Good times.

Bar the ending (where one choice, 30 minutes before the end decides which one you get) and a tiny handful of sidequests there are only two or three moments of 'decisions' in that Mass Effect / contemporary game narratifve style.
What we mean about decisions are:
Am I going to run straight in blazing.
Am I going to climb to that roof top, hop over to that roof, slide in on the top floor, grab what I need and leave through a window.
Am I going to take out everyone from sniper vantage points aorund the complex, or come in form the sewers and take people down with the prod.
Am I going to use ducts, lift shafts and other means to move around without ever once being spotted.
Am I going for a drink...
The thing is, most of the game -does- play like that. It's just NOT very obvious. There's not "here is the alternative vent shaft to the objective" popping up on your HUD after your handler tells you over the comm.
And the maps are nigh useless. It's -very- easy to get lost in many levels, meaning you end up confronting enemies when you may be trying to avoid them.
Have you ever played any of the hitman games? If you do, you may well remember how you may have spent a good portion of your time just deciding what to do, before you do it. Deus Ex plays a lot like that.
The most important suggestion is; be careful, and take your time. If you can't see a way around without killing someone, you're not looking hard enough.Originally Posted by CROCONOUGHTKEY
swordquest. i was maybe 4 or 5 at the time. i didn't figure out it wouldn't have mattered how old i was until the internet came around and i could get the full story on what a tire fire it was.
im sure overtime i had played few less than good games.
two games come to mind when i think about bad games. Reason is simple: I wanted to like them, I played them longer than I would play some random game.
First one is Final Fantasy 7 on PC. I got to play it just year after almost beating grandia 2. What I got was absolute crap. The worst thing was random encounters. Whole game was like grass in Pokemon. After n-th battle with some crab dragons I decided to just f--- it. Classic of gaming it might be but to me it is piece of shit.
Another one was FEAR. Reason is simple. It is a dull dull game. Fight, scary stuff, walk few meters, fight, scary stuff, walk few meters.
Everything was dull about this game. Enemies: i tried to remove the game from memory so i barely remember anything right now but doesn't fear have only three kinds of enemies. identical soldiers, soldiers in mech armour and spiderman invisible enemies.
Weapons: one cool gun which was useless because it had limited ammo. everything else felt the same. there is this penetrator gun. sounds cool in manual. i didn't realize it was different gun than my main machine gun because it sounded and acted so similar. and it looked the same.
Scenery: office, office, roof, maintenance shaft, roof, office, office. For god's sake. they should get people to design this game who actually have life.
those problems would not be that big of a deal if most important thing in FPS was not incredibly boring:
shooting. It was incredibly boring even if we don't take boring weapons into the account. I spent most of the time hidding behind the corner, then activating bullet time so i could shoot few guys. then I would hide again. I would do that over and over again. Against same enemies, with same weapons, in same environment.
Mech enemies were the worst. Had to hide like a mouse, finding few seconds to shoot the guy then hide again.
there was no thrill there. I either shoot them in boring way or i tried to make it more exciting which would always result in my death.
They are not probably my first bad games I had played. They certainly the worst games I had played and I won't forget them for a long time even tough I would love to.
Afterburner on the C64 - the first game where I completely fell for the hype. I hardly ever got the chance to buy a 9.99 computer game, and boy was I completely gutted at this purchase when I finally got the chance to ride high in the skies. I think it was an Activision game, too.

I've probably played a lot of stinkers but the worst game I've bought in recent memory was Breach, a game so bad it appears to have been removed from Steam. Sluggish controls, mediocre visuals and shoddy weapon handling. Also, no bugger plays it.
Alex Kidd in Miracle World.
For those that dont know, Alex Kidd was Segas pre sonic posterboy. The game is pretty damn horrible.
However, since it was also the first game I ever played, my memories of it are fantastic. But that doesnt change the fact that its aweful gameplay. Its also painful looking. The sky hurts my eyes when you look at it for a small while.
Still, I wouldnt have changed that game for anything.
Oh I don't know, Janken was a pretty cool way to fight people. Oh, and... umm, that's all I got. I had a Master System II so the game was actually on the BIOS chip so I couldn't get rid of it if I wanted to.
I'm usually pretty good at filtering out the crap, but I've been caught out a few times.
I bought Republic: The Revolution. I tried for a long time to like it, I would play it for several hours a time thinking I was missing something important. Turns out it was the dev who had forgotten to include an actual game. I paid less than £5 and still felt like I'd been ripped off.
More recently, I bought Hacker Evolution:Duality. It looked and sounded pretty cool. A cyberpunkish hacker sim with an open world filled with AI hackers to hack into. What the game actually is, is a basic puzzle game with a strict time limit and shitty mini games for each of the actions. It has practically nothing to do with hacking at all.
Its the first time in a long while I've had buyers remorse.
Really bad game... I remember an N64 platformer I'd borrowed from a friend that was really terrible. (the game, not the friend)
After 5 minutes of playing I wanted to throw it out of the window.
I know it's not very specific but I can't remember the title, even while looking a the list of N64 games. Not a big loss.

Bart Vs The Space Mutants also cursed me as a child, along with the Lion King game. However, Italia 90 is a classic, it's a so bad it's great game.

After the US loosened travel restrictions to Cuba in January, travel businesses are gearing up to service visitors to the previously difficult-to-access island nation.
"As tourism opens up, new hotels and services will be built, new prosperity will come into play and the 'Old Cuba' will start to vanish. Travelers going there over the next couple of years will be witness to both the old Cuba and the new developing Cuba - a rare opportunity!" said Dan Austin, founder and director of Austin-Lehman Adventures, award-winning small group tour operator that will begin offering tours in Cuba mid-February 2012.
Accessing Cuba Through Cultural Travel
But despite the ease in travel restrictions, don't expect Cuba to become overrun by beach tourists just yet. On January 14, 2011, President Obama instructed relevant government departments to begin allowing certain groups and individuals to travel to Cuba, provided they apply for a license.
Cultural travel is also allowed under the new rules, which has caused a number of tour operators to jump at the chance. Through its people-to-people initiative, the U.S. government allows groups to experience the day-to-day life of Cubans in an effort to encourage cultural exchange.
Journeys into the Hidden Cuba
Insight Cuba, with a history of providing legal travel to Cuba for U.S. citizens, is once again offering cultural travel to the island after a policy change halted its educational exchange programs in 2004 after four years of operation.
For Insight Cuba, cultural travel means that visitors encounter people and places that the average tourist rarely sees, said Savina Perez, senior marketing manager.
"A few of the activities a participant may experience include a visit to an orphanage, a meeting with the association for the blind, a tour of the literacy museum, visiting a polyclinic to learn about healthcare in Cuba, and a private lecture with a jazz musician to learn about musicians' reality."
Insight Cuba will have over 130 departures through September 2012 with six itineraries, including Cuban Music & Art Experience, Havana and Colonial Trinidad, and Havana Jazz Experience.
The small groups, with a maximum of 16 participants, are led by an in-country host/escort into Cuban cultural experiences. Through the guidance of the Cuban host, visitors gain access to the "real Cuba," and explore the island's hidden cultural treasures in a way that allows them to immerse into Cuban life for the duration of their stay.
"When local Cubans and our American participants came together, an instant friendship was born. They shared stories, traded smiles, and walked away with memories to last a lifetime. It really is what traveling is all about," said Tom Popper, Director of Insight Cuba.
Experiencing Cuban Life
Austin-Lehman Adventures, a tour operator with 38 years of experience as an adventure travel company, is excited to be joining the ranks of operators providing cultural travel in Cuba next year.
Next year, ALA is launching their new Real Cuba itinerary, a 10-day tour to Havana, Viñales, Las Terrazas and Trinidad that introduces visitors to the beaches, history and culture of Cuba. Among the tour's highlights are Che Guevara's headquarters during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the studio-home of José Fuster, the "Picasso of the Caribbean," in the Flores district, and a steam train trip to the Valley of the Sugar Mills and a former slave plantation.
ALA takes pride in their tour guides and their ratio of one guide to every six guests, 1:4 on most trips. On the Real Cuba tour, noted Cuba travel expert Christopher Baker, who also designed the itinerary, will act as a guide along with other associates.
Propaganda and People Watching
Karen Kovach of Lakeland, Florida and her husband visited Cuba with Insight Cuba for a long weekend in September. As avid travelers, both Karen and her husband had long wanted to go to Cuba. In addition, both of them had several friends who were "exiled" Cubans.
"My husband is also a classic car buff so that was an added attraction," Karen said.
"I have to say that by having 'cultural exchanges' we were subject to a lot of propaganda," Karen said. All the guides were sure to mention the U.S. embargo against Cuba and the Cuban Five, who are Cuban intelligence agents convicted of a variety of illegal activities in Miami.
Karen said that the visits to the Literacy Museum and the orphanage were clearly set up for the visitors. "During the visit to the orphanage we were taken to a dorm for the children. Problem was there were no clothes anywhere and it did not have running water. We felt set up!"
The best parts of their trip were walking through the streets, enjoying the architecture and people watching. "We had a lovely sunset dinner overlooking the bay and later went to the fort for the cannon firing. That was fun and lovely. Seeing the people thronging to the Malecon [Eight mile esplanade and seawall] was also memorable."
"I would highly recommend them for anyone traveling to Cuba," she said.
Those interested in visiting this long-secluded nation now have more options than ever to experience Cuba's faded beauty. As travel restrictions loosen for Americans, Cuba is set to become a more popular destination for cultural travelers, if not for strict beach-tourists looking to party it up.

Why does anyone care?
A decade ago, answers to both of those questions were obvious—and interrelated.
In 2004, evangelicals, motivated by their belief that the Bible forbids sex outside of heterosexual marriage, mobilized to outlaw gay marriage in 11 states. The resulting political organizing helped re-elect President George W. Bush.
Evangelicals' views on sex were conservative. And their views mattered to other Americans because evangelicals were politically powerful.
Today, everything is different. And the difference, which has emerged suddenly and is largely overlooked in day-to-day media coverage of faith in America, has enormous consequences.
In less than a decade, the number of evangelicals supporting gay marriage has nearly doubled, from 13 to 23 percent, according to the Pew Research Center. Support for gay marriage has grown faster among evangelicals than among any other faith group.
And evangelicals' attitudes toward sexuality have become more complex. (Or perhaps researchers are only now recognizing a complexity that was there all along.)
A study published this year by sociologists at Baylor University found that nearly a quarter of evangelicals were "ambivalent" about gay unions, supporting legal recognition for gay relationships but remaining morally opposed to them.
That number was on top of an additional 35 percent of evangelicals who support gay unions outright—a far higher number than in the Pew poll conducted just last year.
Part of the difference between the two polls is likely explained by different research methods. But in part the gap suggests that evangelicals' attitudes toward sexuality, once considered immutable, are changing as rapidly as the rest of America's.
And the change will only accelerate. A majority of evangelicals under age 35 now favor gay marriage, according to multiple surveys conducted this year by the Public Religion Research Institute and the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.
The number one complaint about Christianity among Christians under age 30 is that the faith is "anti-gay."
What happened?
The quick and easy answer—the answer most often given in media accounts of evangelicalism's changing role in America—is to say that American culture changed on the issue of sexuality, and evangelicals, though reluctantly, changed with it.

This Friday at noon, join us as we welcome the southern based singer-songwriter Todd Snider for a free concert at the World Cafe.
Though Todd Snider's roots trace back to Portland, Oregon, his music branches across headstrong southern styles from Austin, Houston and Atlanta. After moving to Memphis in the 1980's, he became a local favorite at The Daily Planet club, where he was discovered by Keith Sykes (Buffet's Coral Reefer Band) and later signed to Margaritaville Records. Upon releasing his debut album "Songs for the Daily Planet" in 1994, Snider's sharp wit and satirical lyricism gained him sizeable recognition for the minor hit "Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues," a punchy alt-rock tune that earned comparisons to Lyle Lovett and Jerry Jeff Walker. By the time he released his third album "Viva Satellite," his blend of bluegrass, blues, folk-rock and country was instantly recognizeable. As he moved towards a more electronic based sound, he was endlessly compared to Tom Petty, demonstrating that somewhere along the lines of his defining style there was something particularly familiar and comforting about his new sound.
And with the over 10 albums under his name, Snider continues to impress his fans with an incredible sense of honesty, enchanting and witty narration, and relentless optimism. Pairing cheerful storytelling with political commentary and a bluesy rock style, his latest album "The Excitement Plan" intends to bring hope in time of struggle. As Snider retrospectively states "I know right now that times are hard for all of us... These 12 songs can be part of your solution. Just give them a chance. Take them in. Use 'em to help you appreciate your girl if you still got one, and/or your job if you still got one."
Listening to Danielia Cotton, you're bound to believe: Black is rock and roll.
As the daughter of a jazz singer, Danielia grew up in a small New Jersey town.
Blue Merle is a band that doesn't simply defy expectations; it renders them irrelevant. Despite its mostly acoustic instrumentation, the band is well practiced at the art of catching an audience unaware and transporting it to a place of pure rock pleasure.
Authentic. Timeless. Harmonious. Exhilarating. Any or all of these adjectives could describe the folk-rock sound created by Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion.
Being this month's WXPN Artist To Watch coincides with Boggia's second solo release Safe In Sound due in stores on May 3.
The sound of The Magic Numbers revolves around the brilliant songwriting and guitar playing talents of singer Romeo. Born and raised in Trinidad (where his mother had her own opera show on TV)

January 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part 2)
Click here for part 1.
The second half of January is gone, and it is undoubtely clear that this month has been characterized by hacktivism and will be remembered for the Mega Upload shutdown. Its direct and indirect aftermaths led to an unprecedented wave of cyber attacks in terms of LOIC-Based DDoS (with a brand new self service approach we will need to get used to), defacements and more hacking initiatives against several Governments and the EU Parliament, all perpetrated under the common umbrella of the opposition to SOPA, PIPA and ACTA. These attacks overshadowed another important Cyber Event: the Middle East Cyberwar (which for the sake of clarity deserved a dedicated series of posts, here Part I and Part II) and several other major breaches (above all Dreamhost and New York State Electric & Gas and Rochester Gas & Electric).
Chronicles also reports a cyber attack to railways, several cyber attacks to universities, a preferred target, and also of a bank robbery in South Africa which allowed the attackers to steal $6.7 million.
Do you think that cyber attacks in this month crossed the line and the Cyber Chessboard will not be the same anymore? It may be, meanwhile do not forget to follow @paulsparrows to get the latest timelines and feel free to support and improve my work with suggeastions and other meaningful events I eventually forgot to mention.

Sort by body type:
This dress is beautiful! Its slightly heavier in weight than I thought it would be, which is nice, the dress fabric itself isn't ultra thin and doesn't cling to skin and the lace is a nice weight which will probably give it a longer life (snags etc). I'm mostly a C or D cup as I'm breastfeeding so I would look very va-va-voom in this neckline, but I plan to wear a lacy low V-neck camisole underneath - perfect! Will also be great for me, with a black breastfeeding tank which stretches to the side. You could almost get away with a pretty wear-to-be seen bra, but there would be a little skin showing underneath I think for most girls, unless you have a lacy band on your bra or are bigger breasted. I have seen this styled as a very cute throw over (open) jacket and I plan to wear it to work this way. The buttons are all real - not stitched. Really, you can't go wrong, the lace just makes it, and if you want to wear it as the model is doing, just use 'hollywood' tape.For girls who are very slim, take note of the waistline, its not a show-off-that you're skinny kind of dress, but I don't think it will make you look bigger. For girls with a litte tummy to hide or say little love-handles, its probably just what you're looking for.
Revolve has this dress in only one size "1=One size fits most", Not true in this case! If you are larger than a small, don't even bother to try. The top portion of the dress is extremely small. My boobs were completely out. The material and the quality of the dress is excellent, it is only the size. So if you are really tiny, like the model, go for it! If you are larger, maybe just forget about it.
This dress would be completely amazing if it covered my nipples! The material is awesome and the lace detail is beautifully done. It would be a perfect cocktail dress, but also easy to throw on for a more casual event. However, I am only a B cup, and my boobs do not even come close to fitting into this dress. I guess I need a bigger size, but it seems to fit well everywhere else. Unfortunately, it is going to have to be returned.

Student and Alumni Success
The Art of Play
Senior Emily Kennedy brightens up the ONU Child Development Center with a new mural.
For young children in school, recess is the time to take a break from the rigors of learning and just have fun with friends. But does that mean that there is no place for learning on the playground? The Ohio Northern University Child Development Center certainly doesn't think so, and more to the point, they actually commissioned a mural for their playground to reinforce educational concepts to children while they play.
An artist-signed masterpiece.
"We believe that a child's environment can also act as a teacher," says June Zimmerman, director of the Child Development Center. "The mural is an interactive tool that we can use when we play games outside that address math, science, literacy and social studies objectives at the preschool level."
The idea for a mural came from a desire to improve the center both aesthetically and functionally. Zimmerman wanted to "spruce up" the CDC and raise the profile of the facility in the community, and Dr. Sandy Calvert, director of ONU's Center of Teacher Education, was looking for on-campus opportunities to engage education majors with high-impact, experiential learning.
Student and Director of Teacher Education Present at OCTEO
Danielle Hendershott, a senior seeking teacher licensure in early childhood education and intervention specialist, and Dr. Sandy Calvert presented a round table discussion entitled "Hold Hands, Play Nicely, and Look Both Ways: How Collaboration can Mean Opportunity for Teacher Candidates" at the 2013 Spring Conference of the Ohio Confederation of Teacher Education Organizations (OCTEO).
As one of the facilitators of the round table discussion, Danielle shared her experiences participating in an Ohio Northern University agreement with Bluffton University that allows ONU students to complete course work at Bluffton to earn licensure as intervention specialists.
Center for Teacher Education Students Co-Present with Professor at State Conference
Pictured (left to right) with Dr. Diana Garlough are teacher candidates junior Emily Jones (early childhood education, intervention specialist), senior Kayla Rife (early childhood education), and senior Ashley Clapp (middle childhood education) who co-presented at The Ohio Confederation of Teacher Education Organizations in October of 2012 in Dublin, Ohio. The presentation, "Silent Partners in Teacher Education Programs: Teacher Candidates," allowed the group to speak about the heart of Ohio Northern's education program, field experience. The presenters provided an overview of the research in school-university partnerships and field experiences, and provided a venue for teacher candidates to share their experiences.
Garlough's conception of the presentation stemmed from her high regard for the teacher candidates and their ability to articulate the value of field experience. During the presentation, teacher candidates discussed applying theory to practice, creating meaningful teacher-student relationships, and learning how practitioners reflect and plan as well as seeing exemplary teachers in action. ONU's Teacher candidates invest over 200 hours of field experiences working mostly in schools with students prior to their student teaching. Teacher candidates obviously have a lot to say about their experiences, what works well and what needs to be improved.
The presentation was well attended by teacher education faculty members from across Ohio from large and small public and private universities. Garlough was pleased with the professional demeanor the teacher candidates displayed, their ability to showcase their understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of field experience, and to handle questions from the other faculty members.
Professors, Students Participate in Social Studies Conference
Dr. Russ Crawford, associate professor of history, along with a team of students, took part in and made presentations at the Ohio Council for the Social Studies annual conference held Oct. 2, 2012 in Columbus, Ohio.
Ben Nauman, a senior in social studies from Richwood, Ohio, and Trey Jones, a senior in social studies from Ada, Ohio, gave a presentation with Crawford titled, "Reading History Through Political Cartoons."
Amarilla Fair, a junior in history from Mercer, Pa., and Tom Walton, a senior from Upper Sandusky, Ohio, gave a presentation with Schul titled, "Reading Visual Texts: Using Imagery in the History Classroom.
Also talking part in the conference were Kayla Rife, a senior in early childhood development from Custar, Ohio; Samson Meyer, a senior in middle childhood development from Troy, Ohio; Dustin Scott, a senior in social studies from Belle Center, Ohio; Aaron Craft, a senior in social studies from St. Mary's Ohio, and Jared Horstman from Bluffton University.
The event allowed the social studies majors to network with social studies professionals throughout the state and to cultivate valuable resources as they embark upon their careers as middle and secondary social studies teachers.

Police spent more than seven hours Sunday searching for a man wanted for kidnapping, raping and stabbing a woman in Stanley.
They charged Rodney James Helton Jr., 21, with the rape, kidnapping and attempted murder of an unidentified woman.
A Gaston County Police officer called Helton's cellphone and talked him out of the woods to end the manhunt, police said.
The Creek Walk neighborhood off Hickory Grove Road was on lockdown from 1:30 p.m. until Helton's capture shortly before 8:30. Authorities told residents to lock their doors and be wary of the 21-year-old.
Police believe Helton kidnapped a woman, drove her to the Stanley neighborhood and slit her throat.
Police received a 911 call at 1:15 p.m. from Helton's grandmother. She told dispatchers when she returned home from church, her grandson had a woman bound in her house, said Capt. Suzanne Mauney-Smith with Gaston County Police.
"She saw a female in the residence bound by her wrists," Mauney-Smith said. "The suspect, Helton, left with the female in the female's car."
Stanley Police found the car in the subdivision. The woman was discovered shortly afterward.
"One of my troopers found her bleeding," said First Sgt. Tracy Greene of the N.C. Highway Patrol. "That's how we first found anybody here."
She had cuts to her neck, Mauney-Smith said.
The woman, who has not been identified, was alive and taken to a hospital around 1:30 p.m. Mauney-Smith said the victim was semi-conscious at the time she was found.
Police believe Helton left the woman's vehicle and ran into the woods.
Police surrounded a large section of the neighborhood between Highway 27 and Kelly Road, Greene said.
Police officers patrolled the area with guns and dogs, but the search was called off due to a band of thunderstorms that hit the area before Helton was captured.
Police have not described the relationship between Helton and the woman.
Corrine Kowalik didn't know what to think when she came home from grocery shopping and police wouldn't let her into her neighborhood.
"I had no idea what was going on," she said.
Kowalik's 14-year-old son was home alone at the time.
Police eventually escorted Kowalik home, as they did other residents.
"It's kind of shocking," she said. "It's a really nice neighborhood."
Helton has a history of arrests in Gaston County, including three in the past three years. His most recent arrests were for breaking and entering and larceny.

Eight days before what would be a record-setting day at the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run from Squaw Valley to Auburn, CA, Geoff Roes flew down from Juneau, AK, and set up camp in the mountains near Squaw Valley. He spent the next week acclimatizing in his little tent in the woods and pondering his upcoming race.
Having won every one of his six previous 100-milers, the 34-year-old organic deli cook from the Last Frontier knew he had a chance to win the coveted bronze Western States cougar trophy. His greatest competitors would be 26-year-old Anton Krupicka, the two-time Leadville 100-Miler champion, and 22-year-old Kilian Jornet Burgada of Spain, two time winner of the European Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc.
As runners gathered at the start, temperatures hovered around 40 degrees in the valley. Roes was well aware that the 2,550 foot vertical gain in the first 4 ½ miles would bring much warmer temperatures. He was also prepared for the snow he would encounter, sometimes packed up to four feet high in the mountains. As the race got underway, Roes, Krupicka and Jornet led the charge up to Emigrant Pass, beginning their grueling 100.2-mile journey through California's historic gold country in what proved to be one of the most competitive ultras in recent memory.
Ultra Runner by Accident
Raised in Cleveland, New York, Geoff Roes was a standout track and cross country runner in high school. He went on to compete in one season of cross country at Syracuse University before being plagued by injuries and subsequently giving up the sport. For the next 10 years, Roes was absent from the running scene.
It wasn't until he moved to Alaska in 2005 that he came back to his running roots. Living in an unfamiliar place with few friends or acquaintances, Roes began running simply to fill his days. "Getting into ultras was really more of an accident," he says. "I definitely didn't ever intend to race distances this far."
His first ultra came in 2006. Tagging along with a woman he had been dating who was biking the Susitna 100, he entered the Little Su 50K run that was held in conjunction with the event. "I signed up for it but didn't really think I was going to do it. I kind of trained for it, but not really," he says. After finishing first, logging the second-fastest time in course history, he told himself he'd never do anything like it again. "It was horribly painful," he remembers.
Two days later, however, he was already plotting his next ultra. "I was determined to try it again and train smarter and see if it would get easier," he says. The next year he ran and won the Susitna 100 miler, setting a course record. This race proved to be the first in a long string of century run championships for Roes.
"The moments of pain, doubt, and despair during or after races sometimes leaves me wondering why I'd ever put myself through that, but usually pretty soon after, I'm ready for another one. I guess I just have a bad memory," Roes says, laughing.
Western States Rookie
Running 100-mile weeks, Roes' build-up to Western States went precisely as planned. Although his weekly mileage was almost half of Krupicka's, he won the American River 50 Mile Endurance Run in April and also placed first at the North Face Endurance Challenge 50 miler in May.
Despite Roes' phenomenal start to the season, he knew that unexpected things could happen on the trails of a 100-mile race. For almost the entire first half of this year's Western States, Roes, Krupicka and Jornet hung together. Upon reaching mile 46, however, that unexpected thing happened: Roes' energy levels plummeted and he found himself without any steam on the uphills.
As they dropped into the canyon two miles before the Devil's Thumb aid station, Roes says, "I suddenly went from feeling really relaxed and really solid to having no energy. Every uphill was a struggle." Krupicka and Jornet took off; he wouldn't see them again for nearly 40 miles.
Roes entered survival mode for the next 25 miles, up to Devil's Thumb, up Michigan Bluff and up Forest Hill. He focused his depleting energy on taking in gels, drinking water and staying cool. In the meantime, Krupicka and Jornet were gapping him by a dramatic 15 minutes.
"I forced myself not to worry or think about what they were doing. I knew I needed to be patient. If I didn't do what I needed to do to make my body feel strong again, it wasn't going to matter what they did," explains Roes. "I just kept hoping things would come back to me."
With a history of turning tables three-quarters of the way into 100-milers, he knew the race wasn't over. At mile 70, Roes began to regain his strength and confidence. As he increased his pace, he started asking how far back he was at the aid stations and he found himself gaining ground, making up 1.5 minutes per mile. "I was feeling so hungry to catch those guys," says Roes.

Hebberd's Five Goals Lead Women's Lacrosse to 19-8 League Win at Converse
March 24, 2012
SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Rachel Hebberd led the way with five goals and a pair of assists as Pfeiffer University picked up a 19-8 victory over Converse College in Conference Carolinas women's lacrosse on Saturday afternoon. The win pushes the Lady Falcons to 6-5 overall, 3-0 in league play while the Valkyries drop to 4-5, 1-2.
Pfeiffer quickly took control tallying the first seven-straight starting with Liz Melesh's first just 26 seconds in. Shannon Bonnel, Kristi Korn and Melesh would hit before Haley Gourdie sandwiched one in between Hebberd's first two of the day.
The Lady Falcons would add four more to end the half with an 11-4 lead before Hebberd picked up in the second half 29 seconds in starting a string of three-straight with Britton Muir and Melesh. Hebberd, Gourdie and Sarah Daly each scored after a quick strike from Converse while Melesh and Hebberd fittingly closed things out each adding one more over the final five minutes.
Katherine Athens and Laura Shea would contribute with a game-high six groundballs and three caused turnovers while Hebberd corralled a half-dozen draw controls.
Rachel McCarthy made three saves in net earning the win with her first half effort. Jamie Alcala made the same amount of stops in her second half of action.
Pfeiffer will get back to action next Saturday hosting Florida Southern at 11:00 a.m. It will be senior day for the Lady Falcons as they engage in their final home weekend game of the season. Molly Punk, Natalie Marvin and Melesh will be honored before the game.

JAXB 2.0 now supports StAX natively and integrates easily into ActiveSOAP.
Here is an example application which demonstrates writing a simple POJO based services using purely JAXB and letting ActiveSOAP be the REST or SOAP stack and handling the HTTP or JMS transports for you.
First you need some kinda service to expose. So we wrote a little interface.
|Wiki Markup
There's a method on this interface which accepts a regular Java POJO marshalled via JAXB. We can have as many methods as we like all auto-published, the only requirement is that the parameter must be a type marshalled by JAXB, so that when we register it with JAXBRegistry it can handle the XML marshalling.
Then if we register an implementation of this interface with the JAXBRegistry we can automatically publish the service as both REST and SOAP endpoints...
Here's the SOAP server side
|Wiki Markup
And here's the SOAP client side
|Wiki Markup
Or the REST client side...

Technology has never been more thoughtfully designed. But your office? Not so much. Start off the new year right by giving your work space an artistic--even futuristic--upgrade.--John Brandon
Designer Defne Koz may have created the Float desk a few years ago, but the concept still looks like something from the future. The design uses a large flat surface with a side area for storing your gear. Drawers to the side help you stash unseemly clutter away from visitors.
Remember that folding table you used for playing Scrabble as a kid? They are about to make a triumphant return. Designer Alexander Gendell created the Cricket folding table in response to a trend in urban locales like New York and Tokyo (where he had the original idea): Space is at a premium, so this table folds up to only .78 inches thick for easier storage. The workspace has an artsy, metallic look.
Someday soon, we'll all be using speech technology to issue commands to our computers and holding video chats all day to connect with far-flung clients and employees. This concept, developed by Steelcase, is a more private work habitation where you can speak freely and hold a video conference, all without annoying everyone else in the office.
Designer Zhoujie Zhang created this office desk and chair, available at BUNDSHOP.com, after visiting London as a Chinese product design student. It has a futuristic but earthy appeal, without the commercial-industrial look of other office furniture. Both pieces are made of hand-folded steel.
The typical office desk is a sprawling, multifaceted piece of furniture. This more modern design has a sliding keyboard stand you can tuck underneath the desk, but for daily use offers a larger work area than a simple keyboard tray. There's a hidden shelf on the back to deal with cable clutter.
Let there be light... especially a warm glow from this lamp's hidden bulb. It works well as a document lamp or for adding a little ambient light.

You can tumble this stuff much faster without it breaking up. As usual, BRS has the best quality and prices works great....regular is better? By Miles on 7/2/2011 Miles would recommend this product to a friend more than double the cost of the regular gfo but not equally better. Works great if space is an issue, otherwise stick with the standard brs gfo! hands down By eric on 5/26/2011 eric would recommend this product to a friend i was using a a competitors gfo for years and thought it was the best ... till i tried brs h Capacity Ferric Oxide its hands down the best i have ever used and lasts twice as long as others IMO Quality, Setup, Operation By BrooklynSteelo on 5/23/2011 BrooklynSteelo would recommend this product to a friend When your ready to setup your GFO reactor's performance this product will not let you down. I have this running in my Deluxe GFO reactor with MAXIJEt 1200. IMO BRS's recommendations are the best choice. Watch the videos on BRS, they are awesome. Best value By Phil on 5/14/2011 Phil would recommend this product to a friend This is hands down the most effective reactor media to control phosphate levels. It works out to be less expensive due to the absorption capacity. incredible By Douglas on 5/3/2011 Douglas would recommend this product to a friend have used many phosphate removers. Non compare to the quality or consistency of GFO HCFO highly recommend Little pricey but performance and amount necessary outweighs the cost difference of competetiors products. Thanks BRS does the trick By cocugreek5 on 5/1/2011 cocugreek5 would recommend this product to a friend I had high phosphates around 1. This is the first gfo I have used and based on my present experience and those of others, I won't be changing anytime soon. That goes for the gfo as well which holds up well and the water out of the reactor is still less than the tank itself after 2 weeks. Keep in mind this is the first time I ran a phosphate remover in the 6 years of the tank. The hc gfo is great for these situations where there is real severe phosphate problems. It does great in a single reactor and perfect if your tank is under 125 gallons. With the regular gfo and lets say a 150 you would have to go with brs' jumbo reactor. I wish it was cheaper but you get what you pay for. Best GFO Out By Scott on 4/30/2011 Scott would recommend this product to a friend This stuff really works my phosphate was at 0.83 and it dropped it over night to 0.24 that is really a sign that this product really works. I have used other products and nothing ever came close to this. A little expensive but this goes to show you you get what you pay for!!!! Fantastic product By Daniel on 4/30/2011 Daniel would recommend this product to a friend Now that my tank is established and I'm slowly introducing different livestock I noticed that the zoanthids stopped opening up. I read online and the blogs were saying that high phosphate levels in the water would stop the zoanthids from opening. I purchased 3.5 Pounds Bulk GFO High Capacity Ferric Oxide and a reactor from BRS and within a week of having the GFO filtering the water the Zoanthids started to open. Now a month later the Zoas are in full bloom and look amazing.

Post-workout soaks can help muscles recover
By Pure Matters
In a fitness world where the latest fad seldom lasts longer than a pair of running shoes, it's refreshing to find practices that trace back centuries. When I hit the sauna after 30 minutes on the treadmill or some weight training, I'm recuperating just like the first Finns, who developed the post-workout treatment more than 1,000 years ago. The Romans, meanwhile, harnessed hot springs into steam rooms more than 2,000 years ago, which is truly ancient until you consider that the first instance of a recuperative soak in hot water likely originated when the first hot spring was discovered.
Saunas, steam rooms, and soaking in hot water have seen some innovation in the last few decades, from infra-red saunas to swimming pool-sized spas with high-powered massage jets. But the basic science and medicinal benefits have held constant.
Saunas -- rooms with exceptionally high, dry heat and low humidity -- top out at around 175-185 degrees. As you adjust to the temperate, your pulse rises by as much as 30 percent, increasing your blood circulation to aid muscle recuperation and improve overall flexibility. The persistent heat also fools your body into producing more white blood cells, boosting your immune system as it combats the perceived "fever." Excessive sweating also purges your body of any toxins.
Steam rooms employ wet heat, with temperatures that max out at around 120 degrees (any hotter and the steam would be literally scalding). In addition to the benefits found in saunas, the moisture implicit in the steam helps with lung disorders (much like a humidifier clears congestion), and provides additional stimulation of the subcutaneous blood vessels to improved skin complexion. Due to the lower temperatures, steam rooms aren't as beneficial in muscle recovery, however. And the perpetually wet conditions can become a breeding ground for bacteria in less hygienic gyms and spas.
Water, of course, is the biggest distinguishing factor with hot tubs. Topping at 104 degrees, they provide the same high-heat benefits found in saunas and steam rooms. But the water also makes you more buoyant, drastically reducing the stress on recuperating muscles and joints -- hence its common use in physical therapy. Studies have also shown that 30-minute sessions in hot tubs six days a week for three weeks can help with type 2 diabetes. And let's not discount the ahhhh moment of aligning your sore spot with the jet massager.
Unless you're a wrestler trying to make weight, the sauna, steam, or hot tub won't shed pounds faster than a real workout. Any weight you lose through the excessive sweating is replenished when you rehydrate.
But weight loss isn't the goal. And please, let's forget about the hot tub scenes plaguing reality TV. When you're in a steam room, sauna, or hot tub, you should rest and let the heat do its work. The 10 minutes I get in the sauna after a workout lets me slip into a meditative near-sleep while my muscles recuperate and my body sweats out the remaining toxins. My mind floats, concerns unravel. And when thoughts of the real world drift back, I take a brisk shower and I'm ready to re-enter the world, clear-headed from the workout, calm from the dry heat.
Soaks offer the widest variety of medicinal benefits, but the best post-workout treatment is largely defined by personal taste. I find steam rooms too slimy, but I dig saunas. Others may find those wood-walled rooms leave them feel like a dog trapped in a locked car on a sunny day. The best soaks I've had were after a long day of skiing -- particularly in Japan, at an onsen (public baths fed by natural hot springs) nestled in the snow-covered woodlands of Hokkaido, but a travel companion found the whole public nudity thing a bit…exposed.
Let your personal preference be your guide, and you'll find that there's a refreshing buffer between the workout and real life. It might even become another motivating factor in getting you to hit the gym.

Make wishes come true
Make wishes come true
(NAPS)-This holiday season, you can help Santa grant special wishes just by writing him a letter.
To help bring a smile to the face of a child with a life-threatening medical condition, simply visit any Macy's store before December 25th and write a letter to Santa at the Believe Station or drop off a stamped letter already addressed to Santa in the red "Santa Mail" letter boxes.
For each letter mailed at Macy's, the famous department store will donate a dollar, up to $1 million, to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. You can download a letter template at www.macys.com/believe or write one of your own.
Macy's Believe campaign is inspired by The New York Sun's famous "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" editorial from 1897 in reply to a little girl's question about Santa's existence. An animated tele_vision special about this heartwarming holiday story, called "Yes, Virginia," is also available as a DVD and children's book, with 10 percent of the purchase price of those sold at Macy's donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, too.
To find a store, visit www.macys.com.

Rather than testing every possible combination of things, all pairs simplifies the exercise to testing every pair of things which reduces the complexity significantly, for example instead of 700,000 possible combinations, all pairs would be about 500 combinations.
While this reduces the number of tests, does it help find bugs? All pairs works because when things break, they have a tendency to break because of the faulty interaction of two things rather than 3 or more. A long term study of medical device failures found a strong correlation for this. For all the failures reported, a quarter of them would have been found with all pairs testing. The true result is probably much better than this, because a lot of the failure reports did not have enough detail to allow proper analysis. Of the detailed reports, 98% of the failures would have been found with all pairs testing! The paper, "Failure Modes in Medical Devices", is at csrc.ncsi.nist.gov/staff/kuhn/final-rqse.pdf
If you do all pairs testing, you could still use minimal pairs to get better test effectivess. By starting your tests with all the minimal pairs first, this would give a good broad coverage of combinations. The remaining all pairs combinations could then be used to finish the exercise.

LONG BEACH – If it's Monday, this must be the Marina Pacifica Job Club.
Harry Oei steps out in front of the 18 unemployed folks and poses the question. He's going to start marketing his interview boot camp online and he wants help with its name. Should it be Southland Interview Boot Camp? SoCal Interview Boot Camp? The simple Interview Boot Camp? Or the Purple Squirrel Boot Camp?
Good questions.
Better one: what is this admittedly shy, introverted 43-year-old doing in front of a group of people?
This is Harry Oei shaking off his shell, that place where he kept quiet and to himself during the years he was working for an international freight company, offering clients quotes on freight boarding costs. Oei (pronounced "we") was laid off last June and since then he has reacted to his unemployment by putting himself out there. Out there to meetings, job networking groups, leadership roles in Toastmasters and hundreds of hours of computer classes.
His schedule is so locked up it's hard to fit in the job search.
After Monday's morning meeting, Oei is off to the computer lab at Long Beach City College, where he is taking self-guided classes to better his skills in several Microsoft programs. On Tuesday, it's the computer lab all day. On Wednesday, he's set for his Toastmasters club, Shoreline Speakers, in Long Beach. That night he has another Toastmasters meeting, where he is helping the Chinese-speaking club. Thursday he's at the computer lab, yet another Toastmasters meeting, and Friday is set for career coach and recruiter phone calls. The weekend? Hopefully he can fit in some surfing near his home in Seal Beach before he heads off to his volunteer job with the LA Galaxy, a pro soccer team.
"This has forced me to get out there and see what people want," Oei said of his job search. "So from a positive standpoint, it's been beneficial. Obviously, it's not that great having to pay the bills and not having a whole lot of funds to deal with. But at least it got me out there and exposed myself to what's needed."
What was needed, Oei found, were the interview sessions. He saw the need for jobseekers, himself included, to run mock interviews to learn what they were doing wrong, to see how they were projecting themselves to potential employers, and to change the bad habits. Oei has held a couple of the meetings, which others say were helpful, and he's trying to establish them on a monthly basis.
Interviews are proving critical to jobseekers because they are so rare. Orange County's unemployment rate was 10.1 percent in January, hitting double-digits for the first time in 20 years, and job cuts continue to plague the state. Orange County lost 72,100 jobs in the last year, placing it fourth-highest among the country's largest 32 metro areas, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Los Angeles-Long Beach area was highest in U.S. job losses.
The tight job market has made companies even pickier, jobseekers and recruiters report. With thousands of people to choose from, hiring managers want the absolutely perfect candidate, one who can meet the niche needs of skills, very specific qualifications, who live in a certain geographic area and who will settle for a lower-than-market salary. Companies burned by the economy are only tepidly stepping up hiring and are nervous about bringing on new, permanent employees, headhunters say.
This phenomenon is called a "purple squirrel" by recruiters, a "very rare, highly sought after, almost extinct species of candidate," as Leslie Mason, managing director of a Dallas-area recruitment firm, wrote on her blog last year. A purple squirrel would be a candidate that the company requires to be a salesperson who has accounting skills who would settle for an annual salary of $50,000 when he used to make $200,000, she said during an interview Tuesday.
While purple squirrels are desired during all economic conditions, the Great Recession has allowed picky companies to make their demands even more difficult, Mason said.
"When you have all the jobs and no people, the purple squirrel turns a little darker. It turns brown and furry. Maybe he wears his camo gear and starts blending in with the forest creatures," she said.
Oei describes the purple squirrel more succinctly.

Citizens are giving the gift of comfort to Grand Prairie Animal Shelter dogs and cats this holiday season through the Kuranda "Donate a Bed" program. By ordering online at www.kuranda.com/donate/8285, the public can have a dog or cat bed shipped in their name directly to the Prairie Paws Animal Shelter at a special 35 percent donation discount.
"Generous individuals have already given 55 dog beds," said Animal Services Manager Danielle Tate. "Our goal now is to receive the same number of beds for our shelter cats."
During the month of December Prairie Paws Animal Shelter has a gift of its own to give.
"We love our animal guests 'like the Dickens,'" Tate said. "So much so that we have great expectations that we can reduce the number of animals at the shelter by giving most away during December."
The shelter is running a "Love Pets Like the Dickens" adoption special through Dec. 31. Regular price adoptions are $70, but Dec. 1-31, dogs and cats are half price, and adult cats are free.
For more information on how to give the gift of a dog/cat bed or how to receive the gift of the December adoption discount, visit www.gptx.org/paws, call 972-237-8575, or stop by the Prairie Paws Animal Shelter, 2222 W. Warrior Trail.
