A Chris Goode & Company and Unicorn production MONKEY BARS Directed by Chris Goode Dialogues originated by Karl James Tue 25 � Sun 30 September When you're a child you don't really think... cos you like to live like a child. Doesn't really seem you're just going to be an adult. Like time flies by and you just want... to, like, stay as a child, but you just enjoy things, the way it goes. Award-winning writer Chris Goode asked thirty 8�10 year olds to talk about their lives, their thoughts, their world. In Monkey Bars their words are spoken by adults. Not adults playing children, but adults playing adults, in adult situations. Fresh from the Edinburgh Festival, Monkey Bars is a revelatory verbatim show that is funny, touching and endlessly surprising. This show is a Unicorn play for adults, about children. Also at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh as part of the Fringe Festival, Tue 14 � Sun 26 August. Co-commissioned by Warwick Arts Centre and The Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre. Supported by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation. Insight 26 September 7.30pm: with members of the company. 3 �������������������������������������������� Age guide For adults A Studio ORKA and Kopergietery production THE LEGEND OF WOESTERDAM by Studio Orka Fri 21 � Sun 23 September Coming to a secret location, to be announced shortly Originally created in 2008 and performed all over Europe, The Legend of Woesterdam is a love story with a difference. When the legendary city of Woesterdam lost the ability to love and became the bleakest place in the world, a man called Henk took a stand. Come and hear the story of the Woesterdam gang, who fought a world of painful silence and violent rage, armed only with clenched buttocks, the love meter and the sadness sieve � and hear how everything came right because of the longest kiss in the world. Studio Orka are a Belgian collective of designers and actors who make unusual and touching site-specific shows in out of the way places. This show is wayward, thrilling and hilarious, a true old-fashioned adventure for the modern world. With the support of the Flemish Government, City of Gent. Age guide 8�12 �������������������������������������������� photo Phile Deprez 4 A Unicorn production A WINTER'S TALE By Ignace Cornelissen Based on The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare Directed by Purni Morell Wed 19 September � Fri 16 November A group of actors are performing The Winter's Tale at the Unicorn. But it's not going well. Based on Shakespeare's late comedy, this hilarious new production turns the world of The Winter's Tale on its head. It's a play within a play, in which four performers present Shakespeare's story of Kings and Queens and bears in the forest � a world of petty jealousies and playground rites, in which it's always the servants who draw the short straw. This brilliant play explores the politics of the playground with a humour that will appeal to all ages. Insights 3 October 10.30am & 30 October 2pm: with members of the company. Foyer Event 7 October: Theatre in a Box. Make your very own theatre in a shoebox. 5 �������������������������������������������� Age guide 7�10 | PV photo Hugo Glendinning A Unicorn production DR KORCZAK'S EXAMPLE By David Greig Directed by Ria Parry Sun 23 September � Tue 13 November What is more important � life? Or how you live it? Dr Korczak was a Polish doctor and writer, who passionately championed every child's right to freedom, respect and love. Dr Korczak's Example is set in the final days of an orphanage in the Jewish ghetto of Warsaw, where food is scarce, tempers rise and everyone wants to survive. Award-winning playwright David Greig tells this powerful tale of Korczak's refusal to abandon the young people in his care, and focuses on the human need for respect and hope, even in the face of injustice. `One of the most interesting and adventurous British dramatists of his generation' Daily Telegraph on David Greig Insights 23 October 1.30pm & 1 November 2pm: with members of the company. Age guide 11�13 | PV �������������������������������������������� photo Hugo Glendinning 6 I, MALVOLIO Written and performed by Tim Crouch Directed by Karl James and a smith Wed 3 October � Sun 11 November I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you. Tim Crouch re-imagines Twelfth Night in a brilliant one-man show that unlocks Shakespeare's play for new audiences and tells a timeless story of bullying, prudery and practical jokes. I, Malvolio is a charged, hilarious and sometimes unsettling rant from a man adrift in front of a cruel audience. Part abject clown, part theatre-hating disciplinarian, Malvolio asks his audience to explore the pleasure we take in other people's suffering. This is a show for anyone who has ever been told off, called a name or fallen in love with the wrong person. Tim Crouch is one of Britain's most innovative and respected theatremakers � and a hugely experienced exponent of Shakespeare for young people. `Crouch's finest work to date... delivers an excellent explication of the Twelfth Night plot... but it does much more than that.' Daily Telegraph Co-commissioned by Brighton Festival and Singapore Arts Festival. Supported by BAC. Insights 4 October 1.45pm & 25 October 5.15pm: with Tim Crouch. Foyer Event 28 October: What makes a character? Creative writing workshop. 7 �������������������������������������������� Age guide 13+ photo Matthew Andrews A Little Angel Theatre production HANDA'S SURPRISE Adapted from the book by Eileen Browne Directed by Marleen Vermeulen Tue 9 � Thu 11 October Travel to Kenya with Handa as she journeys to see her best friend Akeyo. And since you can't visit a friend empty-handed, Handa takes seven delicious fruits as a surprise � but seven different animals have seven very different ideas. Could you resist the sweet-smelling guava, ripe red mango or tangy purple passion fruit? A blend of physical performance, puppetry, live music and song combine to create this intimate, magical production with audience participation. Back by popular demand this October to mark Black History Month. `Vibrant performers... singing and stomping in Swahili rhythms' Time Out Critics' Choice �������������������������������������������� Age guide 2�5 photo iwantdesign.co.uk 8 A Travelling Light production THE MYSTERIOUS VANISHMENT OF POBBY AND DINGAN By Finegan Kruckemeyer Adapted from Pobby and Dingan by Ben Rice Tue 30 October � Sat 3 November Pobby and Dingan are Kellyanne's best friends, maybe her only friends. Her brother Ashmol hates them. They're invisible and they make her act weird. And it's no fun having a fruitloop for a sister. Then Pobby and Dingan go missing and Kellyanne becomes heartsick. It's up to Ashmol to find them before she fades away completely, but where do you start looking for something you can't even see? Based on Ben Rice's acclaimed debut novel about how one boy's mission to save his family unites an outback opal-mining community, this is a funny and heartbreaking story about love, loyalty and the enduring power of the imagination. Insight 31 October 2.30pm: with members of the company. Foyer Event 3 November: Get your hands dirty with traditional Aboriginal art techniques. 9 �������������������������������������������� Age guide 9+ A Theatre Hullabaloo and Berry Theatre production THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKERS In a new version by Mike Kenny Directed by Sarah Brigham Tue 6 � Thu 8 November Once, there were two shoemakers who were very old and very poor; so poor they couldn't even afford to buy Christmas presents for each other. But one Christmas Eve, just as the snow drifted down outside and the clock struck midnight, two little elves decided to spread a little bit of magic that would make a whole lot of difference. Live music, puppetry, physical storytelling and a sprinkling of elf magic combine to tell this classic tale. `This is children's theatre at its best' British Theatre Guide on Theatre Hullabaloo's Angel �������������������������������������������� Age guide 3�7 illustration iwantdesign.co.uk 10 A Synergy Theatre Project production BURNING BIRD By John Donnelly Wed 14 � Sat 17 November By the time Daisy gets home, everything will have changed. Everything will be different. That I guarantee you. The height of Summer. It's Daisy's fifteenth birthday and trouble is brewing � there's a curfew in place, school is suspended and the city is changing. But Daisy has an important delivery to make across town. So when Morell offers her a ride in his uncle's car, she sets off down a road from which there might be no turning back. Set against the backdrop of the London riots, Burning Bird questions the decisions we make and explores the freedoms we find when authority goes missing. Synergy Theatre Project is a groundbreaking theatre company working with prisoners, ex-prisoners and young people at risk of offending. Insights 15 November 2pm & 16 November 7pm: with members of the company. Foyer Event 17 November: Create the next `Banksy' with local graffiti artists. 11 �������������������������������������������� Age guide 14+ A Little Angel Theatre production in association with the Royal Exchange Theatre THE TEAR THIEF Adapted from the book by Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy Directed by Peter Glanville Wed 21 November � Sun 2 December Every night, in the hours between supper and bedtime, the Tear Thief soundlessly steals the tears of every child who cries.

When she discovers a lost baby, clues must be followed. Travel over the salty sea to the sad court, where a happy ending will be found. 13 �������������������������������������������� Age guide 2�5 A BAC production THE PRESENT Conceived by Hannah Ringham Created by Ansuman Biswas and Hannah Ringham Wed 13 � Sun 17 February Join theatre-makers Hannah Ringham and Ansuman Biswas in a glorious participatory theatrical game exploring the mystery and pleasure of wrapping, receiving, giving and sharing.

Foyer Event 9 & 23 December: Tudor activities, delicacies and historical fun. 15 �������������������������������������������� Age guide 6+ | PV You are a Prince, not a pauper. And before too long the whole of England will be in your hands... Set in a Tudor London so vibrant you can smell the potatopeelings, poor Tom Canty has a chance meeting with the young heir to the throne, Prince Edward � and by pure coincidence they find they look almost identical. Mark Twain's classic tale of confused identities tells the story of what happens when the one is mistaken for the other: Tom Canty is forced into the world of the court and power, while Edward is cast down into a world of poverty and thieves, from which he must fight his way back to the Court. Part traditional and part fantastical, join us this Christmas for the story you've heard but never seen on stage before. 16 A Unicorn production LIAR, LIAR By E V Crowe Directed by Blanche McIntyre Thu 31 January � Wed 6 March Acclaimed writer E V Crowe's latest play is a contemporary tale about Grace, a young girl who knows the truth can be dangerous. In a virtual world of texting and Xbox, her relationship between fact and reality stretches, until a series of wilder and wilder lies leads her into a showdown with the police and puts her dad on the line. Where does her allegiance lie and where do the lies stop? E V Crowe is one of the most exciting young playwrights around. Nominated for Most Promising Newcomer at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards in 2011, she won critical acclaim for her plays Kin at the Royal Court and Young Pretender at the Edinburgh Festival. Her play Hero runs at the Royal Court in 2012. She is widely regarded as an inspiring voice for and about teenagers' experience in Britain today.

Using everyday objects that you might find in your bedroom, the bookish Shahrazad transports her sister and father night after night to an imagined world of kings, viziers, and jinns.

Will you dare to follow him? And if you do, will you ever be the same again? Coleridge's classic poem is transformed into a gothic adventure, awash with live music, songs and highly physical comedy by Tangere Arts, who have previously delighted Unicorn audiences with Hood In the Wood, A Tasty Tale and Tin Soldier (2012 Offie Award Winner). `The excellent Tangere Arts... a distinctive mix of storytelling, The Guardian physical theatre and live music' Insight 6 February 11am: with members of the company.

We live in a sea of plastics from cooking to drinking and many household objects. But this very handy material carries some real health dangers for women.
Doctors who use bioidentical hormones know the benefits, but there is much disinformation around in the media and from doctors and others. Two private GP's with many years experience give their views.
Good nutrition and bioidentical natural progesterone can have a significant impact on your breast cancer risk.
A recent study of peri and menopausal women found a definite increase in breast cancer risk linked to the number of sweetened fruit juices and fizzy drinks. Progesterone can help to protect your from this risk, but changing your diet will help too.
TO BE EDITED Morning Rounds With Dr Steven Economou at Rush Hospital Breast Cancer Surgeon Thirty Five years ago, surgeon Steven Economou MD asked me, "Does Estrogen cause breast cancer, and does hormone replacement increase cancer recurrence in breast cancer survivors?" Back then, I did not know the answer, and neither did he. Thirty Five […]
High blood pressure is common as we age, but long-term use may pose a problem for older women. Progesterone supports both blood pressure and breast health so supplementing may be the answer.
Oestrogen and progestogens increase the risk for women at menopause and post menopause, but bioidentical natural progesterone is beneficial to women at risk.
Progesterone is protective against breast cancer and if you are concerned about risk then supplementing and making dietary changes can help.
The effect of excess oestrogen on breast cancer risk is well known, but it is worse if combined with progestins.
The link between low iodine and breast cancer risk shows a new way to approach this disease together with the support of bioidentical natural progesterone.

This is the third and final post on B. Carmon Hardy's Doing the Works of Abraham: Mormon Polygamy: Its Origin, Practice and Demise (Arthur H. Clark Co., 2007). The simple story of the end of LDS polygamy is that it ended in 1890 with the Manifesto. The not-so-simple story involves a Second Manifesto in 1904, which raises the obvious question, "If the First Manifesto ended polygamy, why the need for a Second Manifesto?" The First Manifesto did not end the officially sanctioned LDS practice of polygamy. In fact, it took twenty years to fully execute that momentous institutional change... Read more »
General Doctrine
Polygamy: Public Practice
In my prior post, I looked briefly at the origins of polygamy. Again using documents from B. Carmon Hardy's Doing the Works of Abraham: Mormon Polygamy: Its Origin, Practice, and Demise (Arthur H. Clark, 2007), I will now look at the public practice of polygamy in early Utah. How did the Saints in Utah explain it to the world and what did visitors to Salt Lake City say about what they observed? Read more »
Polygamy: Origins
Once upon a time, no one except critics wanted to talk about LDS polygamy. But TV shows, court cases, and four Gospel Topics essays on the subject — which run to 32 pages of material when I printed them out — have changed the game. Now everyone is talking about polygamy. The current LDS position, however, is still as murky and convoluted as ever. Historical explanations, doctrinal justifications, and even simple factual descriptions of LDS polygamy remain controversial (see earlier posts at T&S, BCC, JI, M-Star, FMH, and most recently Kiwi Mormon). To this expanding conversation on polygamy, add... Read more »
Questions and Doubts
An article in the March 2015 Ensign is stirring up all kinds of discussion: "When Doubts and Questions Arise." Read the article and you will see what the fuss is about. On the positive side, this and other recent articles and talks addressing faith questions at least provide acknowledgement that many faithful Mormons have issues with certain features of LDS doctrine and history. The new essays in Gospel Topics at LDS.org likewise provide groundbreaking official responses on several troubling topics. But the Ensign really has to do better than this polarizing and dispiriting discussion. Read more »
The Mormon Challenge, Part 1: Creation
Continuing with my project to actually read the LDS books I buy, I'm now reading The New Mormon Challenge (Zondervan, 2002), a serious book about Mormonism by a bunch of Evangelical scholars, edited by Francis J. Beckwith, Carl Mosser, and Paul Owen. Apart from our mere existence, two things about us really trouble Evangelicals: our relentless growth (which has apparently leveled off since the book was published) and our huge corps of missionaries (which has ballooned since the book was published). We are a threat. That perhaps explains why Evangelicals feel justified in disparaging Mormons from their pulpits, classrooms,... Read more »
Losing Our Youth?
So I stumbled upon a Rod Dreher article at Beliefnet, "The Church's Lost Generation" (and by "Church" he means generic Christians). It is clear from General Conference themes that senior LDS leaders are now aware (finally) of our youth retention problem and the broader faith versus doubt problem that seems to be on everyone's mind lately. Dreher makes it clear we are not the only ones worried about the problem. Everyone is losing their youth, it seems. Read more »
The Unwritten Order of Things, Revisited
At last night's Stake Leadership Training Meeting, the stake president announced the first two speakers, both bishops. The second was assigned the topic "the unwritten order of things." Hard to think of a topic more likely to spin out of control — I braced for the worst, and prepared myself for the upcoming train wreck by Googling up a copy of Elder Packer's actual remarks at the 1996 BYU devotional and (#3 on the Google search) Julie's 2009 post "The Problem with the Unwritten Order of Things" and the 103 spirited comments to that post.

Church Discipline: A Comparison
From Socrates in Athens to Galileo in Rome to John Scopes in a small town in Tennessee, trials make great drama. So it is not surprising that LDS disciplinary proceedings, essentially mini-trials, get so much attention, especially in the age of blogs and Facebook. I shared my thoughts on the topic three years ago in Church Discipline in the Internet Age. This post takes a different approach. Ever heard of Mars Hill Church? Read more »
A Conversation About Letters to a Young Mormon
This is a discussion T&S permabloggers Julie and Dave had last week about the new book Letters to a Young Mormon (Maxwell Institute, 2014) by Adam Miller (also a T&S permablogger). Dave: Three things a reader should know about Letters to a Young Mormon: It is short, 78 pages if you count the title page. It is published by the Maxwell Institute, part of their Living Faith series (each volume in the series is an "example of faith in search of understanding" by "a scholar who has cultivated a believing heart …"). And it is written by a philosopher,... Read more »
Some Thoughts on the Inevitable Failure of the Ordain Women Movement
It's hard to know the future, but I will hazard a prediction: the Ordain Women project will fail. If I understand its ambitions correctly, Ordain Women would define success as an announcement that the prophet, having followed the invitation of these faithfully agitating sisters, has gone to the Lord and has received a revelation that women are to be ordained to the priesthood. I don't know if women will ever be ordained to the priesthood, but I would be shocked if this was to happen while any institutional breath breathed in the Ordain Women movement. There are two reasons... Read more »
Reasoning Together – Zion
We talk about Zion in a lot of different senses, but I think most of these share the general idea of communally gathering, developing, sharing, and partaking in everything that is lovely, virtuous, or praiseworthy or of good report. How do we do this, both collectively and individually, on both a theological and political level? Once again (obviously) I can't adequately answer that question here. But once again I'm bothered by a lot of the discussions I see flying around our virtual and ward-level worlds. I don't like the divisive, polemical way in which these discussions are framed –...

Reasoning Together – Prophets
Here's the main point: I don't think either our history or our theology supports traditional and currently widespread – though often unarticulated – notions of what a prophet is. Read more »
Evangelicals Need Inoculation Too
I hope you have seen the recent public announcement of the initiative to use the Gospel Topics section of LDS.org to essentially do what we have been calling "inoculation" for the last ten years (see here for a list of links to Bloggernacle posts on the topic). The three short video interviews of General Authorities listed at the top of the Gospel Topics page (identified with titles like "How will Gospel Topics be enhanced?" rather than identified as GA interviews) give additional details about the initiative. While there is a lot of ground to cover, this is a very... Read more »
Happy(?) Repeal Day!
The Twitters tell me that 80 years ago today, Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st Amendment, thus ending Prohibition. Whatever you think about Prohibition, it's probably worth noting the Pres. Grant was not a fan of its end. In fact, he addressed the end of Prohibition---and Utah's role in ending it---at General Conference in 1934. Here's an (annotated by me) excerpt of what he said: Read more »
The Practical Atonement
This is the third of three posts on the atonement (see here and here). What effect, if any, does the atonement have on your day-to-day life? Does it change how you think, how you feel, or how you act? I think most Latter-day Saints would agree that the atonement is not simply about something that will happen at some distant point in the future (Judgment Day) when, thanks to the atonement, one might be pronounced sinless and eligible to enter a resplendently glorious celestial world instead of being cast down to hell, away to outer darkness, or off to...

The Theological Atonement
Last week I posted The Atheological Atonement, noting that the LDS Church affirms the atonement but not any particular theory of the atonement, and suggesting this is actually not a bad "official" position for the Church to take. This post takes a different approach: if the Church were to move towards a publicly stated theory of the atonement, in which direction should it move? I will be relying on Gustaf Aulen's (1879-1977) fine little book Christus Victor: An Historical Study of the Three Main Types of the Idea of Atonement (Macmillan Co., 1966; American edition, 12th printing, trans. by...

God and Galaxies
Elder Ballard started out his recent Conference talk "This Is My Work and My Glory" with this description and commentary on the wonder of the night sky: A few weeks ago, on a cold, dark winter's night, my wife, Barbara, and I looked in awe up at the sky. The millions of stars seemed exceptionally bright and beautiful. I then turned to the Pearl of Great Price and read again with wonder what the Lord God said to Moses: "And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son...

My Problem With the Couplet
In 1840, almost nine years before being called as an LDS apostle, while he was listening to a friend read from the scriptures, Lorenzo Snow experienced a sudden enlightenment that he apparently regarded as a revelation from God. He summarized his enlightenment in this well known verse (which I'll call the Couplet): As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be. Neither the Couplet, nor any alternative account of Lorenzo Snow's pre-apostolic claimed revelation, has been canonized. It is not scripture. The first part of the Couplet in particular encourages the belief by rank... Read more »
Knowledge or Faith?
Last month, Jacob over at BCC started an interesting series on the philosophy of religion, which I hope he continues at some point. Not being quite ready to spring $120 for a copy of the recommended book, I tracked down a library copy of a shorter and very readable introductory text, William L. Rowe's Philosophy of Religion: An Introduction (Wadsworth, 2001, 3rd ed.). What I found most interesting in the book was the contrast between knowledge and faith. The discussion seems particularly relevant given how frequently the distinction between knowledge and faith is muddled or simply ignored in LDS... Read more »
Understanding Eternity
When I read Stephen Peck's groundbreaking novella A Short Stay in Hell the idea that struck me more than any other was how little we know about the idea of eternity–and how unfamiliar we are with how long eternity is. We simply have no way of comprehending the time involved. We live in a world where we have limited time and must decide how we use the time we have. Read more »
How a concussion made me think of Stephenie Meyer and Francis Hutcheson
Last semester, my first semester studying Greek, I sustained a mild concussion. I have mostly recovered now. I still have problems with bright lights that makes nighttime driving intolerable, but for the most part, I'm functioning normally. But for a few weeks there, I couldn't think straight. It hurt to concentrate. Reading even a light novel was difficult, and translating Greek was nigh impossible. Just looking at Greek letters caused me pain. But my handwriting was spectacular. Any notes I took about lectures I attended during that time are the most clearly written, beautifully precise notes I have ever... Read more »
Mormonism: How Thinkable Is It?
This is the second post on Adam Miller's Rube Goldberg Machines: Essays in Mormon Theology (Greg Kofford Books, 2012; publisher's page). In this post I'll discuss Chapter 8, "The Gospel as an Earthen Vessel," a suggestive symbol that Adam borrows from 2 Corinthians 4:7: "We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

Glory to God; Peace on Earth
Some time ago while singing Christmas carols at a non-Mormon event, I suggested that the group sing "Far, Far Away on Judea's Plains." I was greeted with blank stares and questions. "What song?" "Never heard of it." It turns out I was so immersed in Mormon culture (I still am to a large degree) that I didn't know that "Far, Far Away on Judea's Plains" is an LDS hymn by a 19th century Utah author, and is therefore unknown to most non-Mormon audiences, even though its doctrine is universal enough for most of them.

It's so relieving to hear that people are really focusing on storytelling. It's something I'm terribly interested in and I'm really eager to see how this mod ends up.
Captain's log, 17, June 1945.
I was approached by an odd fellow yesterday while overlooking the inspection of the lifeboats. A young man, who claimed to work for the US Government, shoved papers of legal binding; the contents I couldn't bear to comprehend. I was strong armed into signing them, given the ultimatum of signing and keeping a tight lip, or be prepared to captain a crab boat. Tight lipped about what, I have failed to understand, but given the circumstances, I signed. The breeze of the ocean air will never have been so welcoming. The Florida heat is getting to me; it's driving me mad even. To wear such heavy garments under such a blazing sun is ludicrous, but I must upkeep appearances and rank among the crew. Only two more days until the crisp salt air brushes against my cheeks.
Captain's log, 15, June 1945.
The maiden voyage. And such a fine ship of fantasy proportions. We are set to launch out of Cape Canaveral, FL on the 19th of June, 1945. This is to be a historical voyage: not only is the Neptune the grandest ship to break the waves of the seven seas, but marks the first civilian ship to launch out of this port since the first rumors of Nazi submarines patrolling the Caribbean. I still wonder why a French flagship is launching out of an American port, but I'm continually being left in the dark on such matters. I'm the Captain; I need to know such information.
That reminds me, the engineers are preparing the final inspections of the vessel. I've been informed that the electricity generators are working again. I've requested that a man of expertise accompany me on the maiden voyage to reassure my worries in case the ship finds herself stranded in the middle of the Atlantic without proper lighting.
The Compagnie Générale Transatlantique has high hopes that the Neptune will acquire the Blue Riband. I informed Mr. Jaquel that his company wouldn't fair an incident resembling that of the ill fated RMS Titanic, and I shall stretch the Neptune's legs only so far. He wasn't quick to incline. In just a few short days, I shall embark on the maiden voyage of the most luxurious ship the world has seen.
Neptune is a single-player modification for Half-Life 2, taking place entirely outside the mother game's universe. Set primarily onboard a mysterious and desolate cruise liner, floating in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Neptune allows the player, as stranded fisherman Jose Perdino, to slowly unravel the dark and disturbing past of the ship as heexplores its once-grand rooms, corridors, concert halls, restaurants, bars and maintenance areas.
Taking influence from games such as System Shock 2, BioShock, Thief: Deadly Shadows and Silent Hill, Neptune is an atmospheric, narrative-driven, horror-based shooter; an exercise in videogame storytelling and tense level design.
It is expected to be released in Q3 2009

The biggest being that Lewis Denby has stepped down as Project Lead handing over the position to me. Regrettably, progress slowed down a lot during the summer for various reasons but I stayed committed to motive the team and recruited new talent. Our newest level designer, the very talented Armageddon104, has gracefully picked up design duties hitting the ground running along with Gunz, our other level designer. Along with a new level designer I've also recruited a talented artist, 0x40. Obviously, this mod needs lots of custom models, a daunting task for any 3d modeler. However, 0x40 has already created amazing pieces for our level designers to decorate the Neptune with. So with the new talent things have begun to pick up and a lot of work is getting accomplished. We have playable builds and begun playtesting many of the mechanics that are in place, tweaking, adding and more importantly removing anything that just doesn't feel right. I'm proud to say we are all very happy of how the mod is coming along.
The Neptune team is set out to do one thing, create a compelling quality singleplayer experience like the mod community has never seen before. This mod has become more than a portfolio piece for all us, it's turned into a true passion project that we all want to see to the end, completed and in the hands of the mod community.
We will be releasing new and exciting media soon along with first true gameplay footage within the coming months so keep your eyes peeled for it.
However, please visit www.neptunemod.com for all future updates. The only updates that will be posted here is to inform those that receive automated updates that in fact neptunemod.com has been updated (confusing?).
See you at sea.
It's so relieving to hear that people are really focusing on storytelling. It's something I'm terribly interested in and I'm really eager to see how this mod ends up.
This sounds insanely ambitious... Interesting, but I'll be cautious for now, and wait for the first media relase until deciding if this is something for me or not. If you live up to your high ambitions, this will definitely be worth a play, but that said, those ambitions are indeed very high, and there is a long, long way to get there, and not all succeed at that.
I'll be watching this though, so you'd better not disappoint me. ;P

Location Times Three
Over the years, I've maintained a list I call "Misshelved Books—the Librarian's Nightmare". Thus, The Book of J is found among Iverson's Programming Languages and The Bourne Conspiracy in the UNIX Shell section. Search the tiny Linux Driver shelf, and you'll probably find P. D. James's Devices and Desires.
And where else but in the bulging OO (Object Orienteering) category would you expect Alan Bennett's A Private Function, Marlo Morgan's Mutant Message Down Under (surely a Dinkumware production) and Baudrillard's le systeçme des objets?
The latter, one of those impenetrable culture-theoretic works the French are so good at, probably merits its place alongside the growing number of mystical and pseudo-philosophical books on OO as the one true path to code nirvana. But to avoid memory leaks, remember that each constructor must be followed by a deconstructor.
A more general, cynical observation notes the large number of computer manuals filed under Non-Fiction.
Springer-Verlag's math lists have some strange titles just begging for misclassification: Equimultiplicity and Blowing Up, by Herrmann, Ikeda and Orbanz, surely belongs in the Balkan History section—and what about Motions of Coupled Bodies about a Fixed Point? Don't ask. Yet, there was that great, deliberately teasing book, The Joy of X.
Now dated is the joke that the Norton Classics series escaped misfiling under DOS 8080 Assembly Coding because the great man's mugshot did not grace the covers. Also fading from our collective memories are tales of Five Graves to Cairo and The Chicago Style Guide being catalogued under Microsoft Vaporware.
I've also noted some non-technical LibCat glitches: The Trials of Oscar Wilde under Humor, Anai<\#239>s Nin's diaries under Fiction (well, one never knows) and Black Beauty under African-American Studies.
The quirks of ASCII sorting by title show up in weird librarian contiguities. Thus, immediately after Software Engineering with Ada, one booklist offers Rich Zubaty's Surviving the Feminization of America: How to Keep Women from Ruining Your Life. If Lady Lovelace were alive today, she'd be turning in her grave!
We have happily left behind us those tab-card restrictions whereby titles were crudely curtailed to fit 80 (and even 22) columns. I still treasure invoices for "WHYIAM" (Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian) and (shades of Edward Lear) "MOZDONG" (Mozart's Don Giovanni). As Fritz Spiegl, my favorite musicologist, remarked, "From the sublime to the cor-blimey."
On the bright side (there's always a bright side, except perhaps for Java Standards), misplaced books add to the joy of browsing. Recall The Three Princes of Serendip, the heroes of which had the fairy-tale gift of accidental discovery? Horace Walpole post-coined the word "serendipity" in 1754, and with its own touch of magical self-reference, the word survives. You can find it in action each time you visit your public library's Recent Additions section, a random set of books awaiting misallocation.
Which is where I first spotted Eric S. Raymond's The Cathedral & The Bazaar (O'Reilly, Sebastopol, CA) in the hard-covered flesh, as it were. On my next visit, the book had moved to—who knows where? Medieval Economics? Church History? The clever numerical system (which I've dubbed Dewey-It-Yourself) presupposes a categorical knowledge of content in areas where the categories are forever shifting. Eric's book, following expansive explanatory titular trends, does have the helpful subtitle Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revolutionary, so I hope it found its way to the "appropriate" shelf. Or rather, with duplicate copies, to several shelves, since The Cathedral & The Bazaar is aimed at a wide audience, including those who do not usually visit the Computer section.
In the meantime, I've acquired my own copy (via amazon.com [shameless plug]) and plan an in-depth review in next month's column. Rather late, I fear, since everyone from Linus Torvalds and Tom Peters to Guy Kawasaki, from Brian Behlendorf and Wayne Caccamo to Larry Augustin (and more) has stamped their approval. Yet, I will try to be objective—not easy, since Eric and I have collaborated on and off over the years on hackers' lexicography, and he has graciously reviewed one of my books.

Mobile phones suddenly fell silent across Pakistan's commercial hub of Karachi on Friday following intelligence reports about terrorists planning to trigger remote-controlled explosions, the fourth such disruption to the cellular services in the bustling city this year.
The decision to suspend mobile phone services was taken as there were intelligence reports that terrorists planned to carry out widespread target killings and trigger off remote-controlled explosives, sources in Sindh province's Home Ministry said.
The move, which came suddenly, was aimed at "countering these terrorist threats although we realise it causes great inconvenience to the people," a source said.
The decision to suspend mobile and cellular services from 10.30 am to 6.30 pm caught the people by surprise and caused them great problems.
"I don't understand this strategy of the government. What guarantee is there terrorists will not attempt to carry out their threats after 6.30 pm," Kashif, a Karachi resident, said.
This is the fourth time this year that the government has suspended mobile phone services in Pakistan's financial hub.
There is also talk about suspending the services for a while in Peshawar city due to terrorist threats.
Network operators said they were informed about the suspension at 9.00 am.
Suspending cellular services in light of terrorism threats on important days like Eid and Ashura has become a norm. However service suspension on such days comes with prior notice.

Vanguard all day every day. I use the bardiche nowadays but I think I switch to spear or brandistock depending on my mood. After using the polearms I just can't go to any other weapon - reach is such an incredibly powerful tool, and poking people is fun.
@bigboss1911:I tried man-at-arms but couldn't find a comfortable way to incorporatehis dodge into my attacks. The V key is default, I swapped it to space(Nobody is ever jumping in that game anyway) but still found the classin general to be too fragile.
It's really satisfying when you hits someone and the head explodes.

Vanguard's reach is pretty boss.
@huey2k2: The same reason everyone hates snipers in FPS games - they sit away from the frontline, don't help capture objectives, rarely get a score high enough to actually make a meaningful difference to the team, and are completely useless when everyone else is dead and they just run around like headless chickens.
The only thing archers are good for is killing other archers.

text: David Douglas - California Poppy by David Douglas published on 2012/05/28 21:03:16 +0000 David Douglas (1983) is a Dutch producer of electronic music. David Douglas (1799) was a Scottish plant hunter who explored North America collecting seeds of plants and trees unknown to mankind at that time. Inspired by the Scottish botanist, David from '83 started looking for his own musical seeds. The greatness of nature – the sublime mountain landscapes, Icelandic lupine fields, arctic coastlines, Californian fir forests – invigorate his music. 'Royal Horticultural Society' is David's debut EP although it sounds like anything other than a debut. His music can be described as warm, playful, analog, adventurous, diverse and pure. But most of all as he quotes himself: 'It's electronic music for the mind'. 'David Douglas - Royal Horticultural Society' will be released digitally June 12th.

A journey to the dark side
As we came to the end of our evening walk, I noticed the sky had gradually turned from blue to black with the sunset now a distant memory.
One by one, tiny pinholes of light appeared with the darkness, painting pictures far above for anyone patient enough to connect the dots.
It's my favorite time of day.
Watching the sun reveal the gift of a brand-new morning reminds me of the miracle of life.
I much prefer evening hours, though, when earth pulls the curtain on the day's busyness and the overload of background noise fades into a rhythmic wave of frogs croaking in the muddy bog across the road.
Nighttime offers its own rewards, the best of which is the mystical moon.
The new moon of the month was just revealing its light last week as I said good-bye to another day.
It was what Grandpa used to call a wet moon because it appeared as a bowl which could fill up with rain.
But it wasn't the tiny sliver of white that intrigued me. There was just enough light from somewhere else in the universe that I could see the whole circle of the moon, even the dark side.
There's not always enough earthly reflection to make the dark side visible so I feel blessed when I catch sight of it.
The combination of light and dark which completes the whole represents for me the entirety of life—the good, the bad and the unseen.
And like the moon, every once in awhile the secret pains of our souls that we hide deep inside are reflected through light shining from others.
It's a remarkable gift to view the whole moon.
It's even more spectacular to accept our own darkness.

From the Editor - Don't Kill Peer-to-Peer, Make It Stronger
At a recent demonstration of a network statistics tool, the presenter pointed out a bar on a chart and said that about half of the bandwidth used at the site was for a peer-to-peer (P2P) system called Kazaa.
P2P systems have enormous potential to free independent artists and Web sites from big ISP bills, sneak political information past censors and, perhaps most importantly for our readers, provide a challenging new platform to develop software ideas. But, Kazaa is proprietary, mostly unencrypted and, with a little work, can be filtered out. On page 56, Chris Lowth explains how.
Please do it. Read the article and filter your company's Kazaa users into oblivion. It's one of the projects you shouldn't have trouble convincing management to approve, because legal threats for hosting illegal copies of files on P2P systems are big news. With the techniques covered in Chris' article, you might be able to get a Linux firewall approved for a company that doesn't use Linux yet. There's always a first Linux project for every company, and this makes a good one.
However, there's another, more important reason to block Kazaa. The gap between what P2P needs to do in order to be a useful free and anonymous speech system and what Kazaa bothers to do, is shocking. If you can detect Kazaa traffic, repressive regimes certainly can. Help encourage the development of strong P2P by blocking inadequate P2P.
Ready to start working on a P2P system of your own? Brandon Wiley introduces a fundamental technique, distributed hash tables, on page 71.
And, because the theme of this issue is system administration, we cover two of the classic problems: how to design a backup plan for quick and painless restores and how to set up robust, sane file servers. Now that blank CDs are cheap, it makes sense to give each system its own custom recovery CD. Craig Swanson and Matt Lung cover Mondo for bare-metal restores on page 46. Erez Zadok lays out the problems with NFS and covers a flexible automount solution you can live with, on page 52.
After the movie industry, the next big leap for the Linux desktop is into electronic design automation (EDA). Not only are open-source EDA projects gaining features, the established EDA vendors are porting their proprietary tools to Linux as well. Michael Baxter explains how you can do hardware design almost at the speed of software with Xilinx chips and development tools on page 74.
Reuven Lerner's series on open-source content management systems for the Web continues with coverage of Bricolage on page 12. And, Eric Jeschke is back by popular demand with more GIMP techniques on page 80.
All you kernel hackers and scalability fans out there can check out page 18 where Paul McKenney explains the read-copy update (RCU) algorithm he developed at IBM and how he and other kernel hackers are making it work in the eagerly anticipated 2.6 kernel. Don't forget to download and test a 2.6 kernel with your own favorite apps and hardware. With the freedom to hack comes the responsibility to report bugs.

Re: Make P2P Stronger
Block FTP as well since it's arguably as flawed and insecure as Kazaa.
Hmm, HTTP works for downloads too, so better block that too.
And kids do like sending through IRC, might as well lock that range of ports down too.
Doh, there's attachments on email, better lock down SMTP also.
There, all safe and secure like the RIAA wants you to be.
Re: Make P2P Stronger
you're a ***** loser. a frustrated end user that has no idea of what being a sysadmin is.
Re: Make P2P Stronger
the author of this drivel is out to lunch. Does he care about true freedom of choice? Does he want freedom for users? I think not. Re-read this drivel (quoted verbatim) and weep for the future of rabid Linux evangelism, whose image is tarnished by this fruitcake. However, there's another, more important reason to block Kazaa. The gap between what P2P needs to do in order to be a useful free and anonymous speech system and what Kazaa bothers to do, is shocking. If you can detect Kazaa traffic, repressive regimes certainly can.Rather than making a valid point, he wishes me to block Kazaa out of spite. The point can be made that the author is obviously American, and living under a repressive regime; however, it is not logical to assume that EVERYbody reading this is American. America represents the minority of people actually sharing on Kazaa now.
Re: Make P2P Stronger
The author isn't against freedom of choice or users, the focus of his article is on company employees using company resources for downloading music, and most bosses would rather their employees got down to work. I'm sure the author is all for freedom of file exchange when you're using your own internet connection. (and I'm not American.)
How to Make P2P Stronger
Blocking Gnutella would do more to encourage stronger P2P than blocking Kazaa will. Gnutella is such an inefficient, archaic protocol that it has the added advantage that nobody would miss it. Reduced risk of annoying the people you serve (as a network admin) and encouraging the Gnutella crowd to evolve at the same time! Think about it.
Re: From the Editor, October 2003: Make P2P Stronger
I am fairly new to open source and can contribute very little right now, but I want to do something. Would it be possible to off load some bandwith costs of some opensource projects/websites using a form of p2p and an ftp server. Everything could be md5'ed and capped at a gig or two. I like the security that comes with some ftp servers and linux (3 years and no recorded compromise with an anon setup). Distribution or alocation may/could be designated through FSF or the like, maybe a second page for interested shoppers.
What about for commercial use-say something like file planet or file front. Note: file front did try something similar at one time but the p2p software was fairly insecure. I could allow a gig or two to be donated on behalf of an open source project.
Re: From the Editor, October 2003: Make P2P Stronger
Well.. there's BitTorrent.. which is quite a novel way of using P2P to offload low-bandwidth sites, although it's only efficient for large files. It's actually the only P2P software I've seen so far that is actually useful to a large number of people, and isn't primarily targeted at piracy.
If you want to do something along those lines, I think native BitTorrent-protocol support for browsers would be a great idea.
Re: From the Editor, October 2003: Make P2P Stronger
I've suggested that it be added to kget, the KDE file download manager. Please read the bug report (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57591), and if you feel that this would also be an appropriate place for this functionality (and you use KDE), I recommend you register on bugs.kde.org and vote for it.
