Plain Sight with Robin Lacey
Beatnik Games' Plain Sight is heading straight for release on the PC, and in celebration we sat down with studio head Robin Lacey, studio head, for a few words on the suicidal robot-battler.
Robots, swords and explosions sounds like fun. What genre best-describes Plain Sight?
If I was being boring and sensible I'd say: "multiplayer arcade game" but "psychedelic robo-ninja snuff p0rn" sounds more edgy and cool.
The visual style is unusual - where did the idea for this come from?
When we first started development we didn't really have any artists to speak of. So our collective hive mind came up with the grey flashing pinball fiasco idea.
After a few months we took on an art team - they gave the game an art-gasm.
How do you keep the experience fresh?
Keep it simple, fun and brief. Rounds in Plain Sight are usually only about 10 minutes and, because death is a goal, play times are kept short.
What are the benefits of publishing your game via Steam? Do you fear Valve's dominance of PC download sales?
If Valve were providing a shoddy service, blocking out smaller developers or taking too much money - I'd start worrying about their market share. However they're doing the exact opposite. From a developer's perspective, Valve is doing a great job at keeping PC gaming awesome.
Tell us about how the multiplayer fun pans out. What unusual modes are on offer?
There's basic deathmatch and team deathmatch mode. This is where players have to murder their robot foes for their energy. The more energy they get the bigger, better and more badass they become - they also become more of a target. However, energy can only be converted into round-winning points if the player blows themselves up.
The more they take out in the process, the higher the multiplier.
So, like the Weakest Link, but with suicide bombing.
We also have 'Capture the Flag' (with a self destructive twist), 'Ninja! Ninja! Ninja! Robozilla' (where a team of mini-ninjas have to take down the giant Robozilla) and 'Lighten Up' (a time based turf war mode). Certainly enough to keep you busy!
How large and varied are the game's maps?
The smallest map is for 5 players or more. The largest can easily accommodate 20 players. At the moment 20 players is the limit however we might be able to raise this in the future and have larger maps.
How big is the team at Beatnik, how did you get together, and what are your plans beyond Plain Sight?
There's currently eight of us. We started out about two years ago with four. Since then we've slowly grown, mostly taking on friends-of-friends.
Beatnik Games was started by myself and an old school friend Damien in late 2007. We got drunk one night and decided to quit our jobs and start a games company. Considering we're not industry veterans or anything, it was a pretty hair-brained idea.
By some miracle (and a bit of sleeping in the office) everything has worked out pretty well!
The game will retail for 9.99 USD. How tough is it pricing smaller, digital titles?
Pricing a game is so hard, especially smaller (digitally distributed) indie titles. I lost a hell of a lot of sleep over it... we set the price point for Plain Sight really low for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it's a multiplayer game, so the servers need to be full. If you price the game too high, the few people that do buy the game will be greeted by a smaller game list. This means there's a higher possibility of having to play the game with higher latency.
Secondly, just because your game is at a lower price, it doesn't mean it can't lack quality and polish. Look at PopCap. Yeah, they make "casual" games but they're also beautifully made and priced incredibly well. I think you're going to do much better with a really nice game at an accessible price point rather than the same game at an "about right" price. People will think too hard before they buy it.
Do you plan on bringing the game to other formats?
Yep! PSN and WiiWare - Q1 2011.
Thanks for your time!

Favorites of 2011
By skate4fungirl 7 Comments
Favorite Games of 2011, now slightly salvaged with the help of spilledmilkfactory
|1. L.A. Noire
Slow paced but still hold my attention. There is always something new to figure out, clues to find, etc.
|2. Mortal Kombat
Honestly, I just like beating the crap out of people.
Ahem, what she means to say is... this game is accessible to both beginners and fighting pros, making it a great choice with which to duel my illustrious, sexy boyfriend
|3. Blocks That Matter
Challenging, but still casual enough to be fun. I love figuring things out and solving problems.
|4. Fruit Ninja Kinect
I like watching make an idiot out of himself. Seriously though, this was a great party game and a big hit in my dorm.
|5. The Gunstringer
This makes the list because it's one of the games I've played most this year. I found it only mildly glitchy, which for the Kinect is a minor miracle, but also amusing, and a good way to pass the time.
|6. DiRT 3
This game
|7. Battlefield 3
Not a huge fan of the competitive online game play, but I have a soft spot in my heart for games in which encourage teamwork. Battlefield 3 is a good game to work together with other players.
|8. Batman: Arkham City
Batman was a dark game, which as a dark person (racist!) seemed fitting. Has a good story and as a fan of Batman I found the game a good representation of it.
|9. LittleBigPlanet 2
LittleBigPlanet2 should probably be ranked higher, but I haven't played it enough to really dig into all the aspects of the game. I found this game was artistically creative. This game had a handmade look to it, which appeals to me as an artist.
|10. BloodRayne: Betrayal
Reminded me of older games I played. My like for BloodRayne: Betrayal is solely nostalgia based.

Los Angeles, Calif.) became the ninth member of the U.S. Olympic boxing team to qualify for the 2008 OIympic Games, winning his semifinal bout at the second Americas Qualifier in Guatemala City, Guatemala on Tuesday. Estrada earned a 12-7 victory over Brazils Yamaguchi Florentine in their semifinal round match-up..
The bout was close throughout the first three rounds with the boxers tied up after each of the first two rounds. The score was 1-1 at the midway point, but the pace quickened in the third round with Estrada pulling out to a 7-6 lead as the contest moved into the definitive final round. Estrada simply wouldnt be denied, piling on the points over the last two minutes of action to claim the 12-7 win and a berth in the 2008 Olympic Games.
Super heavyweight Michael Hunter (Las Vegas, Nev.) will compete in semifinal action on Tuesday evening, facing Venezuelas Jose Payares in the qualifying contest. If Hunter wins his semifinal bout on Tuesday night, he will become the tenth member of the U.S. Olympic Boxing Team with only light heavyweight Christopher Downs (Fort Carson, Colo.) failing to qualify.
Estrada will take on Argentinas Ezequiel Maderna in championship round competition on Wednesday.

The New York Islanders have officially removed Rick DiPietro's name from their roster after using one of their two compliance buyouts on the former number one goaltender yesterday. The buyout will pay him $1.5 million over the next 16 seasons and makes him an unrestricted free agent in search of a new NHL home (Photo credit: xjowell/Flickr).
DiPietro was drafted by Mike Milbury with the 1st overall pick 13 years ago, making history in the NHL as he was the first goaltender to ever be selected first overall. He immediately began his career with the Islanders before seeing some time with the Isles AHL affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers.
The Islanders have built the core of their young team through the NHL Entry Draft and this year they looked to continue that trend. GM Garth Snow added one NHL ready player on draft day this year, Cal Clutterbuck. Clutterbuck was not drafted though, he was acquired through a trade with the Minnesota Wild. (Photo Credit: sportsnet.ca)
The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired centre Dave Bolland from the Chicago Blackhawks for a second-round draft pick and two fourth-round draft picks (one in 2014).
Bolland isn't the first-line centre the Leafs covet, but the 27-year-old played tough minutes on the Blackhawks, with only 46.1 per cent of his faceoffs coming in the offensive zone and ranking third among forwards in Corsi QoC (quality of competition) last season. He's a defensive centre that should solidify the Leafs' third line in terms of shutdown ability, especially with Jay McClement on the fourth line.
Bolland, who has a $3.375-million cap hit before hitting free agency next summer, isn't grea...
The Toronto Maple Leafs have selected C Frederik Gauthier 21st overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
Gauthier is 6-foot-5 and weighs a whopping 215 pounds at 18 years old. He produced 22 goals and 60 points in 62 games for the Rimouski Oceanic of the QMJHL. He was ranked 18th overall on the ISS' final draft rankings.
Corey Pronman, prospects writer for ESPN and Hockey Prospectus, wrote on Twitter that Gauthier is a "very good defensive center. Took all the tough assignments and draws. Big man who skates very well for his size. He's not a tremendous offensive player, but Gauthier can make plays with the puck. Has 2nd line potential scoring-wise."
With t...
On Sunday night, the NHL Draft will take place, finally answering the questions that the fans have been asking.
Will Colorado take Seth Jones or Nate MacKinnon? Will the Flyers draft and develop a future Top 2 defenseman? Who will be the first to take a goalie?
TCL Flyers feature writers Dan MacNeal and Alicia Sprenkle worked together to create the TCL Flyers 2013 Amateur Mock Draft. Here is how they imagine the first round could go down.
At most, the 2013 NHL season has two games remaining. The Chicago Blackhawks have the opportunity to send the Boston Bruins home without any new hardware, as a win tonight would make them this year's Stanley Cup Champions.
With that being said, the New York Islanders organization has been preparing for the NHL Entry draft, as well as free agency.
As we jump ahead to July 5th, there are a handful of players that the Islanders might consider for the 2013-2014 roster that may make them a better contending team for next season's playoff run.
Darren Dreger, who is a second cousin of Dave Nonis by the way, wrote on Twitter yesterday that Dion Phaneuf may be available on the trade market.
Some may view this as good news if they're of the opinion that Phaneuf is one-dimensional and is only good for hits. Those people would be wrong, and here's why:
Phaneuf did indeed have an inconsistent 2012-13 campaign, but he also played the toughest minutes of his career, and more so than any other defenseman in the NHL. According to behindthenet.ca, Phaneuf's Corsi QoC (quality of competition) rating was a ridiculous 3.175 at even-strength. To put that in perspective, the player with the second toughest mi...
Dave Nonis has made his first big splash as general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs… by relinquishing assets on a non-issue.
When training camp kicks off in Toronto it will be James Reimer and Jonathan Bernier battling for the starting goaltender's role. Ben Scrivens and Matt Frattin will report to the Los Angeles Kings, who also acquired a second-round pick in either 2014 or 2015 in the deal.
The decision is an odd one from the Leafs' perspective, as Reimer is coming off a season in which he recorded a .924 save percentage in 33 games played, with a .923 SV% in seven playoff games. The 25-year-old has a career .915 SV% in 105 games, while Bernier, who tu...
On Tuesday, the rumor mill concerning the Philadelphia Flyers blew up.
Not only was it confirmed by ESPN's Pierre LeBrun that forward Danny Briere would be bought out, but conflicting reports about goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov's security with the team surfaced, as well as trade rumors involving Anaheim's Bobby Ryan and Los Angeles' Jonathan Bernier also came to the forefront.
Talk about a crazy day.
All of this coming on the heels of a reported deal struck with the New York Islanders to acquire their former captain Mark Streit. Streit signed a bloated four year pact worth a grand total of $22 million. Following that deal, it signaled change. There is writing on the wall...but for whom?
If, for example, both Briere and Bryzgalov are bought out, that unlocks about $12 million in cap space. The Flyers are currently above the new cap ceiling of $64 million by $7 million. These moves would not afford a ton of room, but it would at least be something.
The Flyers have signed defenseman Mark Streit to a four-year contract according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
The deal is said to be worth $21 million, an AAV of $5.25 million. The deal also includes a partial no-trade clause, meaning Streit can submit a list of teams he would want to be traded to.
The Flyers acquired the rights to Streit last week for a 2014 4th round pick and Phantoms forward Shane Harper. Streit, 35, was going to be an unrestricted free agent come July 5 if the Flyers couldn't reach an agreement with him.

A lot of automobiles nowadays are fitted with a gadget called a catalytic converter or cat con in abbreviation, a gadget that changes many toxic exhaust emissions into safer byproducts. If you have a damaged or spent Toyota Van catalytic converter, you should get a replacement item urgently to stop releasing toxic smoke into the atmosphere.
Some motorists object to fitting a catalytic converter because these are assumed to impede the movement of exhaust, resulting in reduced functionality. Though some old models can hinder exhaust movement, many newer catalytic converters for your Toyota Van won't reduce engine performance. Help keep your Toyota Van nature-safe and avoid fines by changing your cat con if you discover that it's becoming cracked or crumpled, or if you detect climbing hazardous emission levels and emergence of carbon deposits. You mustn't put your faith in substandard goods-constantly look for and buy the finest catalytic converters for your Toyota Van.
There are countless catalytic converters being sold to select from nowadays, including well-known makers just like Magnaflow, Crown, or A&B.

The Atlanta Falcons aren't putting much significance on winning the NFC South for the second time in three years. Receiver Roddy White and several teammates say Atlanta has bigger goals - like earning the top playoff seed, winning the conference and winning the franchise's first Super Bowl. Linebacker Sean Weatherspoon and running back Michael Turner agree that the Falcons, with four games to play and a 2.5-game lead in the NFC, have too much at stake to feel complacent. They say it helps that coach Mike Smith gave players a four-day break. Tuesday was their first day back on the field since beating New Orleans last Thursday night. But White added that nobody cheered when Smith congratulated players on the division title. Atlanta (11-1) visits Carolina (3-9) on Sunday.

A Good Music Player for iPad
Surprisingly I was not able to find a single music player in the app store that was good.. I only want a few simple functions and nothing came up.. Keep in mind I want to use this music player while driving.
- Tap anywhere to pause.. or at least tap the large center area to pause.. (The play/pause button in apple's app is a tiny button in the left corner..)
- Swipe left and right to change tracks (yes, apple's apps has this)
- Automatically enter the album artwork view... (again its a tiny little button in the left corner)
- A black/dark theme, or a custom color option would be even better.. (Apple's uses a bright grey/white color.. which is really distraction driving at night)
- And of course a clean and cool looking UI
Anybody know any apps that comes close to those specifications? I still can't believe I can't find a good music player for the iPad. Hope you guys can help me, thanks.

Lawmakers push for food safety reforms
WASHINGTON Lawmakers vowed Wednesday to press for stronger food safety laws and more money for inspections as the list of recalled peanut products surpassed 1,000 in an ongoing national salmonella outbreak.
"There is an openness to putting together the strongest legislation possible," said Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., who introduced a bill to reorganize federal food safety enforcement and make it more accountable.
Meanwhile, the number of recalled peanut products approached 1,100 in what independent experts said appears to be a record for foods consumed by humans.
The 2007 recall of melamine-tainted pet food eventually grew to 1,179 products but "this is human food," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, food safety director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "I'm certainly not aware of any recall where so many individual branded products had to be called back, which makes it really complicated for consumers."
The salmonella outbreak has sickened at least 550 people, eight of whom have died. A peanut-processing plant in Blakely, Ga., that produces just 1 percent of U.S. peanut products is being blamed. Authorities say Peanut Corp. of America shipped peanut butter, paste and other products that had tested positive for salmonella. The Lynchburg, Va.-based company has denied any wrongdoing and said Wednesday that the Blakely plant received regular visits and inspections from state and federal authorities in 2008.
"Independent audit and food safety firms also conducted customary unannounced inspections of the Blakely facility in 2008. One gave the plant an overall 'superior' rating, and the other rated the plant as 'meet or exceeds audit expectations (acceptable-excellent)' ratings," the company said in a statement.
On Wednesday, House Education Committee Chairman George Miller, D-Calif., asked for an investigation of whether tainted peanut products were distributed through the federal school lunch program.
It remains unclear whether Congress can deliver major improvements in food safety this year, given the press of critical issues such as the shaky economy and a ballooning federal deficit. Senior Democrats are dusting off legislation that went nowhere last year and hoping for better luck under President Barack Obama, who has criticized the Food and Drug Administration's handling of the outbreak.
Two regular citizens whose lives were changed by the salmonella outbreak joined DeLauro at a press conference in the Capitol building Wednesday and described the food safety bureaucracy as slow, opaque and disjointed.
Gabrielle Meunier of South Burlington, Vt., said she spent weeks wondering how her 7-year-old son Chris came down with salmonella and wound up in the hospital, when no one else in the family got sick. Eventually she found out on the Internet that Canadian authorities had identified salmonella in crackers that her son liked, and which were still in her house. "That was one of my outrages," she said. "My seven-year-old could have eaten those crackers again, and he could have died."
Jeff Almer of Savage, Minn., lost his mother Shirley Mae Almer, who was 72 and twice a cancer survivor. She died the day before she was supposed to come home for Christmas from a rehab center where she was recuperating from a urinary infection.

Tulsa Drivers Cautioned to be Safe in Work Zones
With the warmer spring weather, work in construction zones around Tulsa and the state is increasing. Next week is National Work Zone Awareness week, and drivers are reminded to slow down and be safe. Aaron Wilcox is a project manager with Becco Contractors. He says the few seconds you might save speeding through work zones isn't worth the danger and potential for damage and injury it could cause.
Nationally, more than 1,000 people die each year in vehicle crashes in work zones, and in Oklahoma last year 16 people were killed in work zone crashes.

Looking for a challenge, someone fun. Malbandro is my Brazilian name according to an iphone app :). Danny
I was in that stage of pushing for a career and that's all I thought about, but I don't want to wait to become an established professional before I find someone, so I'm looking for a good friend to share some experiences with. I like playing sports, but I think my age is starting to catch up with me, so something moderately competitive like beach volleyball during a summer league is fun. I'm looking for someone who I can have a personable conversation with. Someone who has a flare for comedic timing and is willing to laugh at themselves (I don't mean that in a cruel way), cuz nobody's perfect. Have an open mind, and I'm willing to meet someone new and learn about how they approach their life and what they value. I'm new with these match-making websites and I'm curious to see how sophisticated they are at what they can do. I like to be organized, but I can put things off just like anyone else. I am described as methodical by my co-workers, and I like to think of myself as being bold - willing to take some risk that others would be uncomfortable with. Working in sales, I consider myself a sales pull, not a sales pusher - I think the high aggressive sales push is an immediate fail in strategy. I like writing. When it comes to recognizing someone at work, or fine-tuning resumes cover letters, I like observing how thoughts are expressed in written form. I like to articulate with some finesse. I'm a little shy. I tend to open up more once I get to know someone.
Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing sports , Watching sports
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Running, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I don't really have a hot spot that I go to.
Brock University, St. Catharines, ON
music - I like many genres of music - alternative rock, some dance/techno/electric music (like music from Martin Solveig and some other DJs) - I like to look good in the clothes that I wear. I like observing style and fashion.
I'll play soccer at the gym; I like running;
other than the news, I don't really read that much. I know I should.

Exhaust System Repair
I have seen a number of emails floating around about repairing A4 exhaust systems. Mine is both freshwater and seawater cooled. I just went through this repair saga. 'Recognized I had a problem only because my bilge pump was running more than ever before....leaking seawater. I have a '74 C&C in very good condition. An exhaust pipe had rusted through just below the 90 degree elbow where it comes down from the highest point (which prevents seawater back flow into the manifold.) I understand this is the MOST COMMON POINT where an A4 exhaust system will habitually rust through--part "I" of the diagram. Since my boat is very reliable, I decided to PERMANENTLY replace the entire exhaust system from the manifold on back with threaded brass components...rather than just band-aiding it with galvanized parts that might last 5-7 years. Yes, it cost a couple hundred beers for the parts, but my spare time is at a premium for recurrent maintenance, so I am now assured I will actually enjoy future spare time sailing, not replacing this again.
First, I obtained a new manifold flange from Don Moyer which is threaded for an 1 1/4" pipe. Second, The threaded brass components were obtained from
who had the best selection of odds and ends and the cheapest price after shipping costs were taken into consideration. Third, I have attached a diagram of the brass components with a few configuration notes. Fourth, I removed and repainted the exhaust/intake manifold unit with high heat engine enamel while I was at it to spruce it up and preclude manifold corrosion. Fifth, you will notice I encased the brass pipes with a lot of high heat coating materials --high heat coating spray, heat shield matting, and insulating wrap--to minimize heat transference. This keeps the cockpit floor cool when the engine is running for extended periods of time.

Unidentified 'diplomats' escorting Snowden – WikiLeaks
LONDON – Unidentified diplomats are escorting former US intelligence operative Edward Snowden in his bid to secure political asylum in Ecuador, website WikiLeaks said on Sunday.
"Mr Edward Snowden, the American whistleblower who exposed evidence of a global surveillance regime conducted by US and UK intelligence agencies, has left Hong Kong legally," WikiLeaks said in a statement.
"He is bound for the Republic of Ecuador via a safe route for the purposes of asylum, and is being escorted by diplomats and legal advisors from WikiLeaks."
Snowden, 30, was to head to Venezuela via Cuba after he arrived in Moscow on Sunday, Russian media reported earlier.
Snowden requested that WikiLeaks "use its legal expertise and experience to secure his safety", the statement added.
WikiLeaks, whose founder Julian Assange has spent a year holed up in Ecuador's London embassy, said Snowden's asylum request will be formally processed once he arrives at his final destination.
"The WikiLeaks legal team and I are interested in preserving Mr Snowden's rights and protecting him as a person," said former Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon, legal director of Wikileaks and lawyer for Assange.
"What is being done to Mr Snowden and to Mr Julian Assange – for making or facilitating disclosures in the public interest— is an assault against the people."
Assange, a 41-year-old former computer hacker from Australia, walked into the Ecuador embassy on June 19, 2012 and claimed asylum in a sensational bid to avoid extradition to Sweden for questioning over alleged sex crimes.
The South American country granted his request, accepting his fears that if sent to Sweden he might be passed on to the United States and prosecuted for publishing thousands of classified war logs from Iraq and Afghanistan and a cache of diplomatic cables.
Britain has refused to grant him safe passage to Ecuador.

The Surprisingly Emotional Story Of The Man Who Invented The High Five
One-time Los Angeles Dodger Glenn Burke is credited for the universal gesture for a job well done. His own life was more complicated.
At the very end of the Los Angeles Dodgers's 1977 season, Dusty Baker hit his 30th home run. As he ran triumphantly across home plate, enthusiastic rookie Glenn Burke, waiting on deck, held his hand up high, signaling for Baker to give him the first-ever high five.
That instinct for how to instantly celebrate a perfect feeling of victory is what made Burke, by his teammates' accounts, the "life of the team," and the gesture is now a universal expression of positivity. (Read more on the history of the high five here.) But Burke's story is much darker and more poignant. The open secret that he was gay doomed his career, and he quit baseball just a few years later.
In this ESPN 30 For 30 short, Baker, along with other players and historians, recount Burke's story and his enduring legacy of high spirits and camaraderie.

3 Comments
Glenn Burke was an exciting player who never got a fair shake by the Dodgers because of Tommy Lasorda. He was traded not only because of his sexuality but because he was friends with Lasorda's son who was also gay. "Uncle Tommy" refused to acknowledge his son's sexuality and sadly was in denial that like Burke, his son died fom the disease.
I don't have cable or satellite TV...so no ESPN...thanks for sharing this new-to-me story about a summer classic and an iconic American gesture!
Very nice story. Thanks.

My maternal grandmother lived here with her brother from about 1913 until 1922. Their names were Jean and William Bruce. I am interested in the lifestyle they found there and how many children were accommodated there? Their father had abandoned their mother and she was forced to work but apparently visited them frequently and eventually brought them home when they were about 11/12 years old. I never spoke to my grandmother or great uncle about this as I was not aware they had lived there for so many years until doing my family tree recently. I love the old photo, the building looks somewhat foreboding and I would love to hear of what life was like there? Thankyou.

Nutty, what version of OpenGL added PS/VS shaders? Which one added the fragment branching, or is that NVidia specific?
I can coorelate feature addtions if I know what revisions of OpenGL added things, as opposed to DX. Currently, my understanding is that ATI/NVidia are at version 1.5 or so of the ARB? Is that a fair assumption?
Well NV introduced vertex shaders along time ago. About Detonator 7 they were available as emulation in the drivers. This was months before the GF3 emerged with them in hardware. This was NV_VertexProgram, which was the equivelent of DX8 Vertex Shaders, however DX8 wasn't out at this point.
DX8 class pixels shaders arrived with the GF3, in the form of NV_TextureShader, and NV_RegisterCombiners. Technically they could achieve more than DX8 pixel shaders, but were a bugger to code for.
Current drivers support opengl 1.4. Currently the ARB standards, ARB_VertexProgram (which come to think of it, is more akin to DX8 class Vertex Shaders) and ARB_FragmentProgam (DX9 class pixel shader) are only ARB extensions. They should be in the core of 1.5 though.
NV_VertexProgram2, is the GF-FX Vertex Shader, which has dynamic branching. NV_FragmentProgram is basically PS2.0, but slightly better. It has conditional statements, (not true branching) and much higher instruction counts.
Now, if we're talking about pure ARB only stuff. we currently have
ARB_VertexProgram = DX8+ Vertex shader
ARB_FragmentProgram = DX9 Pixel Shader.
Now, the new GLSlang language, introduces two new versions called
ARB_VertexShader, and ARB_FragmentShader. These are the two vertex and fragment shader implementations for the upcoming GLSlang high level shading language compiler.
I haven't looked at them much, but they're probably similar to DX9 equivelents. Perhaps with a few extra features, I dont know.
Anyone know if a new Vertex Shader was introduced in dx9, and what features it has over dx8 vertex shaders?

The main gastrointestinal adverse events in the high dose group versus placebo were: constipation (7% versus 9%), diarrhea (9% versus 4%), gastritis (7% vs. 0%) and nausea (7% versus 2%). No subject had a treatment-related increase in liraglutide antibodies.
About liraglutide
Currently in phase 3 clinical trials, liraglutide is a human analog of the naturally occurring hormone, Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is rapidly broken down in the body and thus not practical as a therapy for type 2 diabetes. GLP-1 is released from the gastrointestinal tract upon ingestion of food. When glucose levels become too high, GLP-1 triggers the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreases the secretion of glucagon, a hormone that promotes glucose synthesis in the liver. GLP-1 releases insulin in a glucose-dependent manner, meaning that it only triggers insulin secretion if blood glucose is too high. This characteristic is thought to result in a low risk of hypoglycemia, which has been confirmed in a number of studies in which GLP-1 was infused intravenously or subcutaneously.

Exodus 17:1-7; Psalm 95; Romans 5:1-11; John 4:5-42
The texts speak of thirst for life. The people thirst for water in
the wilderness. The Samaritan woman at the well meets the One who gives
the water of eternal life. Paul speaks of God's love being "poured into
our hearts through the Holy Spirit."
Exodus 17:1-7; Romans 5:1-11; John 4:5-42
Jesus talks longer to the woman at the well than he does to anyone else in all the Gospels—longer than he talks to any of his disciples, longer than he talks to any of his accusers, longer than he talks to any of his own family. She is the first person he reveals himself to in the Gospel of John. She is the first outsider to guess who he is and tell others.
Leadership as a spiritual practice
Is leadership, specifically pastoral leadership, a spiritual practice? Dorothy Bass has defined practices as "those shared activities that address fundamental human needs and that, woven together, form a way of life." Does leadership address a fundamental human need?
Romans 5:1-8
When I take a long road trip, the route I choose depends on whether I am driving my car or riding my motorcycle. If I have a tight time line, I drive my car. I prefer to travel on interstate highways if possible. My priority is to get to my destination quickly; I map out a route, set the cruise control, turn on the radio, fly through the countryside and stop only when absolutely necessary.
Psalm 95; John 4:5-42
It is tempting to sit in judgment on others. Sometimes we do it in jest, as Mark Twain did when commenting on Adam. "Adam was but human—this explains it all. He did not want the apple for the apple's sake, he wanted it only because it was forbidden. The mistake was in not forbidding the serpent; then he would have eaten the serpent." But sometimes the serpent eats us, and then we judge in earnest.

A bold, pioneering step forward was necessary. And that is precisely what the BCCI selectors came up with on Friday night at Mohali. It took courage, foresight and the ability to appreciate the merits of a long-term plan being prepared by a no-nonsense coach to steer clear of the temptation to bring Sourav Ganguly back into the Indian cricket team. In the event, the five wise men proved that they were upto the task.
All sorts of theories are doing the rounds vis-a-vis Ganguly's non-selection. The first has to do with the fact that the Rahul Dravid-led side has been outstanding in the first two games of the Videocon series against Sri Lanka. Why rock the boat when things are going swimmingly? This could have been one argument in favour of retaining the same team.
From another point of view, a century in a Duleep Trophy match may not have been enough to prove that Ganguly was back to blazing good form he might need to do a bit more before selectors look in his direction.
Whatever the merits of these assessments, if you dig deep enough, the truth will readily reveal itself. A new order, a new organisation, is in place in Indian cricket with Dravid as captain and Greg Chappell as coach. For a good number of reasons, some cricketing, others psychological, Ganguly does not fit into the new scheme of things.
From the moment Chappell's e-mail was leaked, it was obvious to every sane person that the new coach and the long-reigning skipper got along as famously as sugar and petrol. The vehicle of Indian cricket, if it needed to be tinkered and painted and serviced ahead of the 2007 World Cup, appeared to have little hope of moving in the right direction with the two of them together at the top.
The first bit of evidence that the selectors were, at long last, prepared to value logic more than emotion came when they named Dravid captain for 12 ODIs, seven against Sri Lanka to be followed by the five against South Africa. There was just a smidgeon of doubt whether they would stay on course or make a quick about-turn on Friday. But, good sense has prevailed.
It is not at all easy, after everything that has happened, to have Ganguly play under Dravid with Chappell scripting the play and directing it. It is precisely because of this it seems quite likely that an era has ended in Indian cricket.
Unfair deal
But, then, despite the events of the last few months _ which unravelled like a poorly written horror movie script _ it would be unfair to evaluate the Ganguly era merely on the basis of its vicious final flicker, which threatened to eat into the fabric of Indian cricket.
If indeed this is the end of the Ganguly saga, it is a pity, too, that he had to go out this way. India's most successful captain deserved a better send-off. Yes, he overstayed his welcome. Yes, his form was horrendous for the most part of the last two seasons. Yes, his skills as a batsmen are hardly comparable to the gifts possessed by Sachin Tendulkar or Dravid. Yes, he is not the most agreeable bloke any of us might have come across. And, yes, he may not fit into the team right now.
But, NO, Ganguly doesn't deserve to be despised. Internet hate campaigns directed at the former captain point to the darkness in their authors' soul rather than diminish anything that Ganguly has accomplished, either as leader of men or as a batsman.
Dravid, as perfect a gentleman as Indian cricket has ever seen and a man whose contribution to Ganguly's success as Test captain is unmatched will be the first to distance himself from such extreme positions that reflect poorly on our sporting culture.
It is one thing to buy into Vision 2007 and acknowledge that Dravid and Chappell should have the team they want; quite another to trash Ganguly's record as insignificant. Twenty one Test victories in 49 matches are not something to mock at; nor are the 76 ODI wins in 146 games.
Sport is a cruel business, a capricious business whose ever-turning wheel often remorselessly runs over the greatest of heroes. Ganguly's is but a tiny chapter in this timeless drama. We will see it happen again, and again.
Then again, if we rejoiced in the plight of yesterday's heroes, our action will hold a mirror to our true nature. And we may not find the reflection particularly likeable.

It wasn't until he was given a bird's-eye view from a helicopter that he had the chance to see what the crop circle actually formed: a giant middle finger.
"He was pissed," said Freeman. "It's the greatest reaction ever."
In another truth-seeking set-up, he said, they took Tessina's psychic up into an airplane and had the pilot pretend to kill himself after a short session with the charlatan.
"We scared the psychic into telling us that he wasn't really a psychic," he said. "It's funny, but at the same time it's real and it's a little bit ludicrous."
Tessina said he reached a reckoning point when the pair met a self-proclaimed human-alien hybrid who said he couldn't die.
After the man claimed that his mother had been artificially inseminated by aliens ("like Jesus"), he went on to demonstrate that he could hold on to electric cords and get shocked without harm.
"I had some electronics training when I was in the service and that came to mind. He wasn't grounded. There was no way the shock was going to bother him," Tessina said. "At that point, I knew he was a phony ... Everything else kind of fell into place."
At first, the realization was a little jarring, Tessina said.
"I did have to reassess the way I've lived and the money I threw away, and probably some of the enjoyment I could have had with the money I spent needlessly over fakes," Tessina said.
But, ultimately, he added, he's much happier than he was before. He's sworn off supernatural spending, he doesn't hang with the same crowd of believers and he's trying to earn money through painting (though he joked that a sequel to the film could help too).
And for those still trying to break the cycle of mythical thinking, he had a little bit of advice.
"For people who still believe in it, if that's what makes them happy and they can afford, that's okay. Live and let live. But I do believe that they could do better if they believe more in the here and now rather than ... believing in the fantasy of aliens abducting you or taking over your life," he said. "I just don't believe in it anymore. But if that's the way that some people want to think then it's too bad they couldn't have gone along with Blake and I ? they might have been nonbelievers also."

By THO XIN YI firstname.lastname@example.com
HAVING spent 18 years in the corporate world, Edmond Liew was convinced the time was right for him to quit his job and invest in the 'black gold of the forest'.
"A friend introduced me to agarwood, the plants that produce fragrant oleoresin, and I decided to jump onto the bandwagon," he said.
Now a director of Eco Midori, Liew paired up with a partner and a professional team from Thailand to manage an agarwood plantation in Seremban.
It has been two years and he is ready to share his experience and technical know-how with more people.
"It is not a business for only the rich. Farmers and white-collar workers too can get into the business," the Johorean said.
Liew explained that in order for an agarwood tree to produce oleoresin, it has to be treated with vaccines when it reaches five years-old.
"As part of its self-defense system, the tree will react to the vaccines and form dark, resinous patches.
"The tree will be harvested two years later and the oleoresin is obtained through hydraullic extraction.
"Oleoresin of higher grade, which is darker, is made into powder while the rest is made into gaharu oil. Its bark and wood chips can also be traded," he said.
Liew added that every 10kg of the wood could produce 12g of gaharu oil, which fetches a good price at RM300 per 12g.
The tree is valued for its medicinal and therapeutic properties.
It can be used as medicine, perfumes, incense, sculptures, beads, boxes, shampoos and essential oils.
Agarwood is known as eaglewood, aloeswood and gaharu too.
Realising the economic values, the Kelantan government launched a project in 2007 to encourage individuals to cultivate the trees.
Liew said in Malaysia, most of the wild agarwood trees are found in East Malaysia and their numbers are dwindling as they are highly sought after for their resin.
"Like rubber trees, the agarwood trees are suitable to be planted on hilly lands," he said.
In August and September, Eco Midori will be having seminars in Johor Baru, Batu Pahat, Kluang, Muar and Segamat.
For details, call 012-713 8899. (Liew).

My Rating
Excellent value for money
But do check the list of venues available for free and make sure you want to go to enough of them. Also some venues you do have to pay an entry fee but not the whole amount.
Really good for hoping on and off the trams though.

Sunday December 17, 2006
SINGAPORE (AP): World No. 17 Seon-hwa Lee held off ADT Championship winner and fellow 20-year-old Julieta Granada to give Asia a 12 1/2 to 11 1/2 victory over Annika Sorenstam's International team at the Lexus Cup women's team golf tournament Sunday.
Lee had two putts for the win at the par-four 17th to avenge Asia's humiliating loss in 2005. She duly obliged, sending her first to within inches for a tearful Granada to concede as her teammates cheered on.
"It was a very difficult putt. There were a lot of people watching me,'' said Seon-hwa Lee, through a translator. "I didn't want to make a mistake.''
Asia's win at the 6,051-meter (6,620-yard) par-72 Tanah Merah Country Club Garden course in Singapore was worth US$50,000 (euro38,150) to each team member while the losers received US$30,000 (euro22,890).
Last year, the International team won the inaugural event 16-8.
"I'm so happy. Seon-hwa, what a finish!'' exclaimed Asia's playing captain Grace Park. "I was shaking so much, I've never been so nervous.''
Ahead 7-5 after winning four of the six best-ball matches Saturday, Asia needed 5 1/2 of 12 points to wrest the Lexus Cup away from Team International. On a weather-delayed final day, it went right down the order to singles matches 11 and 12 for the outcome.
World No. 1 Annika Sorenstam gave the Internationals their first point with an easy win over 99th-ranked Park in a duel of playing captains.
Park bogeyed the first, then drove into the water on the 2nd. By the fifth, she was already three down.
"Anytime you play the No. 1, it's tough,'' South Korea's Park said. "It was tough out there ... raining the whole day,'' she said.
Their match ended on the 15th hole, when Sorenstam put her 134-yard (122.5 meters) approach within birdie range.
The South Korean also lost to Sorenstam 2 and 1 in the inaugural Lexus Cup last year.
Her tournament record now stands at only two wins from six matches in two editions.
In the second match, three-time LPGA Tour winner Candie Kung of Taiwan battled American Paula Creamer, 20, right down to the par-four 427 (390-meter) 18th in a contest that featured three lead changes and three ties.
Creamer's five-iron second shot was pure, and landed about 10 feet from the hole. Kung put hers right of the flag _ and off the green.
Kung had to nail her fifth shot _ a 7-foot (2.13 meters) breaking putt to halve. She didn't.
"It was a roller-coaster ride out there,'' said Creamer, the youngest and fastest to reach US$1 million in career earnings. "It was unfortunate she (Kung) missed that putt ... (but) I'm glad I won.''
The only other match to go to the final hole was South Korea's Meena Lee against Angela Stanford of the United States. It was halved.
Three other South Koreans _ Jee-young Lee, Young Kim, Hee-won Han _ and Japan's Sakura Yokomine also won matches for Asia in the closing session that was delayed twice because of lightning.
There are nine South Koreans in Asia's squad of 12.
LPGA Hall of Famer Se Ri Pak lost 3 and 2 to World Matchplay champion Brittany Lincicome in the final pairing that finished on the 16th hole.
Lincicome's win meant both teams were tied with only Seon-hwa Lee and Granada out on course a hole ahead.
Up a shot going into the 16th, Seon-hwa stuck her 90-yard (82-meter) approach within inches to take a two-up lead to the next hole over Granada, fourth on the money list in 2006.
Knowing all she had to do was match Granada's par on the 17th, Seon-hwa Lee put her second shot about 30 feet (10-meters), pin-high, from the hole. Her putt rolled gently to settle a finger's length from going in.
Natalie Gulbis, Creamer, Lincicome, Sherri Steinhauer and Stacy Prammanasudh were the other full pointers for the International team.

What about oppression of men which is historical and unrecognised? Your
views are all one-sided and feminist. As though men are enjoying their
lives. Men are much more oppressed than women. Just check the suicide
rates to know that more than thrice the number of suicides are of men.
Then why is your media so unfair to men? If you have some fairness in
you and some guts, showcase the male perspective as well.
