Jenny, I am inquiring about some memorials you have added: Antone Hanzlicek (#42490234), Adalbert "Albert" Hanzlicek (#47629518), and Jakub Hanzlicek (#55852415). According to Antone's, Adalbert and Jakub are his brothers. I would like to verify this information as I am a descendent of Adalbert and I am trying to expand my ancestry tree. Where did you find this information? What other information might you have on Adalbert and his wife Rose? Please send me an email email@example.com with information. Regards, Rebecca

Rajon Rondo suspended again by the NBA
|01.07.13 at 5:12 pm ET
Rajon Rondo has been suspended one game without pay for making contact with a game official and failure to cooperate with a league investigation, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President Basketball Operations. It is the second suspension for Rondo this season, after serving a two-game suspension for his shoving Kris Humphries on Nov. 28.
The latest incident involving official Rodney Mott occurred with 3:19 remaining in the third quarter of the Celtics' 89-81 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night at Philips Arena. Rondo will serve his suspension tonight when the Celtics play the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
There's a secondary angle to the story. Hawks GM Danny Ferry is being fined $15,000 for approaching the NBA referees and handing them a videotape of the incident after the game.
The league has a strict rule about players or team officials approaching a referee after the game, for any reason, so Ferry was hit with the fine by the league.

Vietnam's First Private Airline Delays Launch Due to High Oil Prices
Vietnam's first private airline delays launch due to high oil prices
HANOI, July 31 (Xinhua) — Vietnam's first private airline, Vietjet Air, has announced it would conduct its first commercial flights in mid-2009 instead of December, mainly due to high oil prices, local newspaper Vietnam News reported Thursday.
Vietjet Air has also announced it would delay hiring two Boeing 737-700 planes to help cut costs.
The airline originally planned to operate domestic flights to major cities such as Hanoi capital, central Da Nang city and southern Ho Chi Minh City, and then move up to regional destinations like Thailand, China's Hong Kong and Singapore. It will review the planned routes to ensure they operate at a profit.
Vietjet Air planned to launch its first flights in December, when world oil price was projected to be 70 U.S. dollars per barrel. On July 30, oil sat at around 122.45 dollars a barrel on the global market, after a steep slide from the July 11 record high of 147.27 dollars, said the newspaper.

Urlacher: I'd still lie about concussion
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP)
Brian Urlacher wasn't backing down. Chicago's star linebacker would still lie to cover up a concussion.
Urlacher raised a few more eyebrows on Thursday when he reiterated what he told HBO earlier in the year, and it didn't seem to matter to him that Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is recovering from that same injury.
His stance remains the same.
''Yeah,'' he said when asked if he would lie to cover up a concussion.
He acknowledged it would be tough to cover up a concussion while questioning whether newer helmets really were cutting down on such injuries, and he added that the NFL needs to do a better job protecting players from knee injuries.
He said there are points in most games where a player is woozy from a hit, where ''you're like, whoa, that was a good one.''
But, he also said: ''I don't know how you can lie these days with all the (stuff) they have to see who's concussed and who's not. I don't know how they can tell in the first place. I think the helmets aren't very good. I wear an old helmet and Lance (Briggs) wears an old helmet. We don't get concussed. We have some pretty good collisions, we don't get concussed. I think a lot of it has to do with the helmets. They're saying they're better but they must not be because people are getting more concussions now.''
Urlacher said he suffered a concussion against Denver in 2003 but didn't miss any games that season.
''I've been lucky,'' he said.
Cutler wasn't so fortunate on Sunday. The Bears believe he suffered his concussion when Houston's Tim Dobbins nailed him with a helmet-to-helmet hit late in the first half that forced him to sit out the final two quarters of a loss to the Texans. His status for Monday's game against San Francisco is in question, and if he's not available, Jason Campbell figures to start in his place.
That could leave both teams without their starting quarterbacks, because the 49ers' Alex Smith is also recovering from a concussion he suffered last week.
NEED SOME? GET SOMEFeed your NFL addiction! Come feast on all the news in our updating blog.
Head injuries and the long-term effects are a hot-button issue in sports, particularly in the NFL. The league has cracked down on flagrant hits in recent years and toughened its guidelines for treating players with concussion symptoms. Cutler and Smith need to be cleared to return by their team physicians and independent neurological consultants.
The issue has been getting plenty of attention this week in Chicago, but Urlacher would like to see the league focus more on the knees. Specifically, he'd like to see cut blocks banned.
''But that seems to be OK with the NFL so they're not too concerned about safety, obviously,'' he said. ''They are concerned about long-term concussions, but immediately they're not concerned about your knees or your ankles or anything like that. I think that should be an issue. Concussions are taking care of themselves. It's a big deal now to everyone because of all the older players coming back and saying they're all messed up now. That's definitely an issue, but I think the cut blocks need to be a big issue as well.''
Isn't there a big difference between a head injury and knee injury?
''Huge,'' Urlacher said. ''Because a knee injury puts you out for a season, a concussion you may miss a game or two. Huge difference.''
Then, he acknowledged the long-term impact of head injuries.
''That's why you have to judge,'' Urlacher said. ''If you don't want to play if you get concussed, then don't play. It's your career. It's your life.''
On the knee issue, defensive end Israel Idonije agreed ''100 percent.''
''We all know that, though,'' he said. ''It's an offensive game. Ultimately, a lot of the rules that are put in are put in place to advance the offense. And defensively, we're second fiddle at times. That's just the nature of the game. So hopefully the bodies that govern the rules and protections do a better job of taking the injuries that the players on defense consistently sustain, they take those seriously and remove some of those elements from the game as well.''
But when it comes to concussions?
Defensive end Corey Wootton was just as adamant as Urlacher. Would he lie?
''No, I wouldn't,'' Wootton said.
He said he's discussed the issue with former teammate Hunter Hillenmeyer, whose career was cut short by concussions. He also mentioned Dave Duerson, one of the stars on the 1985 championship team who suffered from the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
''This is not what we're going to be doing for the rest of our lives,'' Wootton said. ''A lot of people have families and want to have families eventually, want to play with their kids and live a long life.''

Intercept plots a big Phase III NASH trial with room for an early approval
Intercept Pharmaceuticals, striving to launch the world's first treatment for a pervasive liver disease, spelled out its plans for a sizable Phase III study designed to secure an accelerated approval and help the company retain pole position in a potentially lucrative field.
Place your bets: Biotechs hustle along new drugs for blockbuster liver diseases
Late last week investors wound up using Intercept Pharmaceuticals as a punching bag after new data on its NASH drug for fatty liver disease raised some troubling questions about its safety and efficacy. Its stock was hit hard, forced down 30% in hours as analysts mulled the implications of potential trouble.
UPDATED: Intercept shares tank as investigators question OCA's safety/efficacy for NASH
After crunching the data on Intercept's clinical study of OCA for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, investigators say they tracked some distinct improvements for patients suffering from the liver disease. But they also fretted about some troubling safety issues as well as inadequate efficacy endpoints that will have to be carefully considered in follow-up studies, tempering some of the high excitement that has been stoked by some analysts and the biotech's investors ahead of a pivotal Phase III study.
Intercept leaps again as deeper NASH data quiet some fears
Still riding high on some strong early-year data for its liver disease treatment, Intercept Pharmaceuticals' shares shot up once more as its lead drug came through in Phase IIb, dismissing some earlier safety worries and setting the table for late-stage study.
The top 15 late-stage blockbusters in the pipeline
In recent years it's been the big biotechs in the U.S. which have registered approvals for the drugs most likely to succeed on the market. But in reviewing EvaluatePharma's recent picks for top Phase III drugs, it's interesting to see some prominent positions among the Big Pharma crowd. Read the full report >>
Intercept grabs the spotlight at EASL, builds case for lead drug OCA
Investigators for Intercept Pharmaceuticals spelled out the impact of its lead therapy on rare cases of a liver disease called primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), fleshing out the results of a late-stage study that it will use to seek U.S. and European approvals later in the year.
Intercept's lead drug boasts success in PhIII after worrisome side-effects disclosure
Intercept Pharmaceuticals delivered a bad news-good news punch over the weekend about its lead drug.
Intercept scores a PhIII win for lead drug following Friday night frights
On Friday night Intercept Pharmaceuticals managed to rattle investors with a 10-K filing flagging a collection of serious cardiac adverse events recorded in a study of its lead drug OCA. But come Sunday morning, the biotech balanced out that bitter taste with an announcement that its Phase III trial had ended with positive data, setting up a regulatory filing for approval.
UPDATED: Intercept shares dazzle after early success of PhIIb liver disease drug trial
Shares of Intercept Pharmaceuticals went into overdrive this morning, soaring a remarkable 125% on the surprise news that a Phase IIb clinical study for its lead drug funded largely by the NIH ended early after achieving the primary endpoint.
Top 10 biotech IPOs of 2012
After taking a beating in previous years, biotech has been hot sector on Wall Street this year. The Nasdaq Biotech Index has shot up 30% this year compared with 15% growth in the broader market. And the fact that this year's total number of biotech IPOs already matches that of 2011 indicates that there could be a growing appetite for these types of investments. But there's no indication that we're on the verge of, or will ever, return to the go-go years of the 1990s when biotechs more easily went public at lofty values. Here's the full report >>

Best for Nightlife - Expert review of Delfin
My friends Alan and Sarah had a brilliant time when they stayed here with their two teenagers. If you want somewhere that's modern, clean and comfortable and seconds away from Tossa's beach, town centre and sights, the Delfin is perfect. It's easily the best hotel in the centre.
The entrance is on the main road just behind the beach, so you're about a minute away from the sands and promenade. Downtown Tossa, with its vast choice of restaurants, bars and shops, is also on your doorstep.
The 53 rooms all have the same decor, with a choice of doubles, twins and interconnecting family rooms as well as six suites. The rooms overlooking the main street (as opposed to the beach) have bigger balconies but can be noisier if you like leaving the windows/doors open at night. There is, however, double-glazing and air-conditioning, so you can get a cool, quiet night.
Check availability and compare prices for Delfin
Reception and hallways are all high-sheen, polished marble floors, dark wood and glass panels, so the feel is smart, modern and rather corporate.
Breakfast is an extensive buffet with Spanish and international options (including a full English). At lunch and dinner, there's usually a buffet as well as items cooked to order and the food is general Spanish and international style fare. All meals are served in the smart, modern, cafeteria-style restaurant. You can book either b&b or half board.
There's no pool, but there is a brilliant roof terrace with sun loungers and a Jacuzzi so you can de-stress your limbs after a hard day at the beach.
Staff are friendly and efficient – more so than you'd expect for a hotel of this size.

Rep Power:
My personal philosophy on cruising/circumnavigating/bluewater sailing is admittedly largely based on my anticipated budget. Obviously if I had unlimited funds I'd opt for a big Oyster with air, heat, refer, radars, watermakers, RIB's, lifeboat, solar/wind/diesel generators, hotwater, SSB, autopilot, sat phone, redundant chartplotting GPS's, and just about any other piece of fluff available.
However, the reality is that I don't (and won't) have an unlimited budget. If I ever circumnavigate or make a major bluewater trip it will likely be in an "old shoe" that can be had for less than $75k (read Westsail 32/28, Southern Cross 31, Baba 30/35, PSC 27/31 Mariah, etc.). My techno and safety must-haves will be a liferaft, windvane steering, at least two GPS units, solar panels, plentiful tankage, raincatch system, and likely an SSB (perhaps only receiver). I'm with the Pardey's when they say "go small, go now". If I wait for the fully loaded Osyter with all the cozy comforts, I'll never go.
As has been said many times by many long-distance cruisers: The extra fluff on a boat doesn't make the scenary in Hiva Oa any prettier or the wildlife in the Galapagos any more exotic or the weather any better in the Seychelles. In fact, I've heard many bluewater cruisers say their only regret is not having cast off the lines sooner in life. My goal is to make the adventure happen before my kids are too old to not want to come along.

UT Arlington In The News - Thursday, August 18, 2011
Samir Iqbal featured in a story about nanopore biosensing
Samir Iqbal, a UT Arlington assistant professor of electrical engineering, was featured in a NanoTechWeb.org story about nanopore biosensing. Iqbal and his colleagues have recently come up with a novel approach that provides precise control of the nanopore size as well as the charge on the pore walls. "We developed a home-built plasma reactor system, which used methacrylic acid monomer to deposit PPPF films inside the nanopore," explained Iqbal, who conducts research in the University's Nano-Bio Lab, part of the Nanotechnology Research and Teaching Facility.
Harry Stephanou scheduled to appear live on CNN
Harry Stephanou, director of the UT Arlington Automation & Robotics Research Institution, is scheduled to appear live at about 12:45 p.m. today on the CNN Newsroom segment, "Big I." Stephanou will discuss microbotics research under way at ARRI.
Barnett Shale
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality said Wednesday that it has levied a $212,500 fine against J-W Operating Co. of Wise County, an oil and natural gas producer in the Barnett Shale, for air emissions violations that were "noted in a December 2010 records review." The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that the entire fine will go to The University of Texas at Arlington for the Texas Air Monitoring Network, which uses automated gas-chromatograph monitors to measure air quality in North Texas, including areas with substantial Barnett Shale operations.
New residence hall to be named after Tom Vandergriff
The Arlington Citizen-Journal reported that a new residence hall at UT Arlington will be named after Tom Vandergriff, the late former mayor, congressman and Tarrant County judge. The University of Texas System Board of Regents approved the name for the 500-bed dormitory under construction in the College Park development.
Brent Sasley's story about Canada's powerfule Israel lobby
The Baltimore Jewish Times quoted Brent Sasley, a UT Arlington assistant professor of political science, in a story about Canada's powerful Israel lobby. "Put simply, Jews have had a much longer history of acclimatization into the Canadian economic, social, and political environment," Sasley has written.
Donald R. Bobbitt quoted by the Arkansas Times
The Arkansas Times quoted Donald R. Bobbitt, UT Arlington provost and vice president for academic affairs, in a story about higher education costs and the need for new ideas in Arkansas. "We simply can't continue to do what we've done in the past," Bobbitt said. He takes over as president of the University of Arkansas System on Nov. 1. He added that at UT Arlington, the expansion of online classes has helped increase enrollment by more than 30 percent in three years, which has helped the bottom line.
Alumna Jillian Smith

It was time…my fellas and I ran out to Fort Lincoln to grab our annual Parks Pass for the truck, then took some time to run around the blockhouses for a bit. I remember when they were so little I had to closely guard them as they went up the steep ladder to the roof. Those days are long gone. As they enjoyed their independence, I looked out one of the ports on the side of the blockhouse and caught this view. Thankfully I had a camera handy so I could share!
Maybe some places shouldn't have those pet "bike lanes"
Driving on Divide Avenue yesterday I noticed people swerving around an obstruction in the road. I rolled up on it myself and noticed that the problem was one of those "bike lane" markings protruding into the driving lane, freshly painted and marked with a cone. I think these are a bad idea in the first place, but they're a real head-scratcher when found in places like this.
Aside from mixing bike traffic with motor vehicle traffic in an unsafe manner, these markings are often placed in areas where that merging can't possible work well. Case in point: this is a hundred feet or so down the road from the previous photo. Traffic on Divide is pushed into two lanes to provide a left turn lane at 4th Street. Where's the room for the cyclist here? This bottleneck seems dangerous to me.
If people have to cross the center line to get around the cone and paint, are they going to do the same to avoid a cyclist? That's better than hitting the guy on the bike, sure…but still not a desirable result on a busy street.
This is just one more example of how some of the starry-eyed "progressive" ideas of our community leaders don't always translate into real world solutions. If I find myself biking this area, I'll just stay on the sidewalk, thanks.
Welcome, tree. Have a seat at the table
While poking around in the trees, I came upon a picnic table which hadn't seen a lot of love lately. While the area nearby had been slightly maintained over the years, the immediate vicinity of this table clearly had not. It had allowed some hearty young saplings the opportunity to reach toward the sky, regardless of what obstacle loomed overhead. What made this noteworthy, however, was viewed from the other side of the table.
Yes, I know. It looks like a butt. This tree looks like it's sitting on the edge of the board. I saw it, others I know saw it, even my little kids saw it. Must be the groove in the middle. I'm not going to the point of wondering if it's an ash tree, though. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Saturday night's all right for photo-ing
I took my boys to an area near the Square Buttes for a sunset tonight. We managed to find a couple of ticks climbing on us and even a pretty decent sunset, before clouds on the horizon cut the show short by choking off those golden hour colors.
I'm still struggling to get back into the swing of things photographically. Last year and the year preceding it were consumed with health-related issues for our family. 2015 is being consumed by happier circumstances, as we're building a house to replace the one we gave up last year.
I keep telling myself that we'll have more photo time soon, but I'm starting to realize that I have to make that time. There have been times where I've been able to get out and pursue a certain shot but have simply been unmotivated, burned out, or just too darn tired to do so. I know that getting into a new house is a huge task and that there will be plenty to be done, but having a home again really is the closure we're looking forward to after the last couple of years. Having reached that milestone alone will allow us to relax and take things as they come. I expect to have lots of photo opportunities sprinkled in with all that.
Easing into it like a hot bath
Maybe it's a guy thing – we go with what we know. That would explain why so many dudes to back to their ex-girlfriends, or something. Anyway, as I continue to resume my photographic journey, I find myself shaking the cobwebs by visiting some of my favorite sites…and this is one. It's a small no-maintenance road east of Crown Butte, from which I am able to get some pretty nice sunsets (if the sky will comply).
On this particular night, I was surprised to see that there was no water in the lowlands below the Butte. Only a few remnants of last year's cattails remained. Given this week's rains, maybe that has changed…but it was dry as a bone when I took this shot.
This was one of those nights where I hiked into position, photography buddy nearby, receiving my first tick (and bite!) of the year…and then something on the horizon flipped the OFF switch on our sunset. Thankfully I was able to catch these colorful clouds before things fizzled!
Gray day
My calendar was clear Friday afternoon, so I decided to knock off early and head out with my camera. As the recent dearth of photos on this blog has illustrated, I haven't had a lot of camera time lately. I figured I could clear my head and work out any photo-atrophy that may have set in by venturing west. I hadn't been to Sims lately, so I figured I would check it out…most notably the Gray House. While the title of this post could have actually referred to Friday morning's sky, the sun came out by the time I rolled into Morton County.
I've tried this shot before but figured I'd take another crack at that too. It's a real challenge to match the interior light with the bright, sunny scene outside.
I poked around the house a little bit, then pointed the camera in the other direction for an additional Fallen Farm. I believe the concrete steps in the foreground are from the old Sims Schoolhouse, which has been relocated to west of Almont.
After poking around the site for a little while, I took off for a date night with my sweet wife. We still have a lot to keep us busy in the next few months, but I'm hoping for plenty more opportunities to get out with my camera and share the results here.
It's been a while, so here's a Fallen Farm
It's kind of ironic. The latest reason why I haven't been able to enjoy my photo hobby, and share the fruits of it here, is because we're building a house. So when I do get a chance to go out and capture some North Dakota for y'all, I photograph something that's being slowly deconstructed by time.
I've approached this particular barn from other angles in various seasons, but for this shot I was able to locate the proper people to ask permission to approach it closely. It looks much better this way than it did from the road!
Meanwhile, my project is coming to fruition and I hope to be a homeowner again soon. Then you can expect a lot more rants here about property taxes! I'll try to smother them in fresh, new photography though.
Let the Day begin
Here's to the babies in a brand new world,
Here's to the beauty of the stars…
Here's to the travelers of the open road,
Here's to the dreamers and the bards…
Here's to the soldiers on the desert dunes,
Here's to the farmers in the fields…
Here's to the preachers of the sacred Word,
Here's to the loving God who heals…
Just sharing a friendly good morning and a now-historic photo of the windmill which used to stand near Farmer's Livestock southeast of Bismarck (it's a parking lot now). Lyrics modified from one of my favorite songs by The Call.
It's no secret that I've been posting very little lately. Naturally that's because I haven't been out with my camera lately. I'm hoping to rectify that, but it's going to take a little bit yet. I have good reason:
- As you've probably discerned, nearly everyone in my little family has had a very serious medical predicament. No two have been alike. I myself have had to make multiple trips to Mayo Clinic for complicated surgeries, the first of which failed.
- In the midst of all that, we gave up our house and were homeless briefly. Now we're apartment dwellers, with most of our lives in bins as we await the next stage of life.
- Happily, we are building a new home far away from the hustle & bustle of the previous one. That's been occupying my typical sunset-chasing time, but I'm thankful for an able body to perform such labors of love. The hardest work is done for now, and the waiting game we played all winter is a distant memory as the last stage of construction flies by. I look forward to some quiet (except for frogs croaking along the water).
I've learned a LOT over the past two years. God has brought us through many serious situations. He's sent a lot of people our way to provide assistance. We're humbled as we look back over the past two years and, although we're not out of the woods completely, we're excited to see what He has in store for us.
Ray of light
Clouds can make or break a photo. Sometimes they obscure the sun just as the skids are about to get interesting. Other times they provide just the right circumstances for a dramatic photo. This is obviously the latter.
Taking a sunrise or sunset photo without any clouds just doesn't work. They perform an essential service in making the skies more interesting. Whoa..did I just stumble upon a metaphor for life just now?

Dee Milliner has only played 13 games in his NFL career, but he s entering his second season with the mindset that he s the best cornerback in the league. AtJets training camp Saturday in Cortland, New York, Milliner told the New York Daily News that he would never admit that another corner is better.
Via the NYDN:
The best corner in the league? Me.... I m not going to say somebody that plays the same position is better than me. Don t care if they ve been in the league 10 years and I ve been here five months. That s how it s going to go. I m the best. I m not going to say that another man that plays the same position... and say he s better than me? I can t do that.
The Jets took the former Alabama star with the ninth pick of the 2013 draft, but Milliner was benched by coach Rex Ryan three times early in the season as he struggled to overcome injuries and adapt to the NFL. Milliner grew as the season progressed, and was named NFL defensive rookie of the month in December. He finished his rookie year with 56 tackles, three interceptions and 17 passes defended. Millineracknowledged that his rookie year was frustratingat times, but he s ready to make a leap in his sophomore season.
It wasn t too good at the beginning of the season. So, that s an F right there. I give myself a B-plus how I finished.... But it ain t about the grades. It s about what I can do each week. Whatever it takes for us to win the game, that s what I need to do.
With Antonio Cromartie gone and no new arrivals at the position, Milliner is now the unquestioned No. 1. Time will tell if he can become New York s next Darrelle Revis.

A Silver Spring man was sentenced last week for his role in the 1990 road rage altercation that left a twenty-one-year-old man dead. Forty-two year-old John Holmes is said to have been impassive at the "emotional" sentencing, after relatives of the slain man testified about the "cold-blooded" killing.
The incident occurred the night of July 13th, 1990. Twenty-one year-old Ronald Jones Jr. and three friends were in the victim's vehicle on Massachusetts Avenue NW when the altercation erupted. Court records state that sometime during the incident, Holmes drew a .357 magnum, shooting Jones four times. The victim's sister, LaQuisha Jones-Campbell, testified about her brother's promising future- that he had been accepted into Howard University's law program and planned to try out for the Dallas Cowboys- at the time of his murder...

I just came across this great post by Mike Volodarsky, IIS Core Server / ASP.NET Runtime Program Manager
It looks like it is a known issue and whether or not session state is available is actually decided... by the SessionStateModule itself!
Briefly, in order to force session state to load current Context.Handler, usually DefaultHttpHandler, has to be replaced in the PostMapRequestHandler event by some other handler, implementing IRequiresSessionState. To be safe, my dummy handler carries a reference to the original handler, and I swap it back in the PostAcquireRequestState event, once the dummy handler fulfilled its purpose.

A quick look at Articy:draft
- Marzhin93
- 11
Working on a role-playing game like Might & Magic X can be at times daunting for the writer, due to the game's non-linear structure. This is why we decided to use a tool made specifically to facilitate video game writing and design: Nevigo's Articy:draft. Let's see what it does and why it has been so helpful for us.
Articy:draft uses a very visual approach to game writing. Instead of actual scripts or tables, here you work as if you were drawing a diagram of the story's structure: this is called the Flow. As you create the Flow, you add blocks called "Fragments" that you can fill with pictures or text. Then you can connect your Fragments together with arrows. You can even add labels to the arrows indicating what the player has to do for this Fragment to lead to that Fragment.
A Fragment represents an interaction, be it with a place, a character, an event, an item, etc. Each Fragment can itself contain its own Flow, with its own characters and events. For instance, the city of Sorpigal-by-the-Sea would appear as only one Fragment on the game's general Flow. However, if you were to look inside Sorpigal's Fragment (or "submerge", to reuse Articy's terminology), you would see all the buildings and NPCs found in this small coastal town.
Of course, you can use colours to differentiate the types of Fragments. For instance, on the screenshot above, the bright green Fragments are various areas of the outside world (a forest, a mountain, etc.) The red Fragments are dungeons. The light green Fragments are towns, while the purple Fragments are interactive places found in the world that are neither dungeons or towns (for instance a special building or a merchant's cart).
Once you have your Flow into place, with your major story beats or quests, it is time to create Entities. Entities are the "actors" of Might & Magic X. The player's party is an Entity, as is each NPC the player will interact with. As you create Entities and use them in Fragments, Articy builds a database that the developers will later be able to export.
For instance, let's create a NPC. First, I will import a portrait for this guy. To make sure the integrators won't lose time, I took the habit of putting the portraits in the good format to be used directly in the game (in this case, a PNG file of 152 x 152 pixels, with transparent background). That way, I know Limbic Entertainment just have to grab the file from the database and won't have to convert it to another format before it can be used in the game's engine.
Now that this guy has a face, we need to create the actual Entity. An Entity is made of various fields, that can of course be defined to fit the needs of the game. In the case of a character, the fields will include information like Age, Species, Gender, Profession, and other things that will go straight into the game's database.
Once the Entity is created, it is ready to be invoked within Fragments. Once an Entity has been associated to a Fragment, the Fragment will also appear in the Entity's properties, allowing the writer to quickly see the places, events and dialogs in which the character appears.
Let's now create a dialog for our friend Zale here. To do that, we must use a special kind of block called, wait for it, a Dialog. Funny story here: as I started writing the dialogs for Might & Magic X, I used a classical "dialog tree" structure in Articy. Back then, the rest of the team was still knee-deep in game design and had not yet started implementing the story within the game. But after a few months, when story implementation actually started, the team realized the dialog trees were not that practical for them, so they asked if I could use a different structure.
That's how game writing goes. You have to constantly be ready to adapt your methods :)
One of the first dialogs I wrote, in classical "dialog tree" format.
The dialog structure we ended up using.
Articy:draft also allows to import map and level design layouts and drag-and-drop Entities and Fragments directly on them. So if you put something on the game's map, a member of the team wondering what happens there can easily double-click on it to open its Flow. Everything is connected.
Here's the game's world map, with all the Flow Fragments. This doesn't include "regular" gameplay objects such as enemies, shrines, etc. As you can see, there will be lots of stuff to do :)
That's Articy:draft in a nutshell. As you can imagine, it is a very powerful tool that proved really helpful all along the development of Might & Magic X. For more information about Articy, don't hesitate to have a look at their website.
But as powerful as Articy:draft can be, sometimes you also have to do it the old-school way… :)
The level designers and content integrators put together the "Flowchart Wall" in order to have the structure of the game in plain sight at all times. It's also great for conspiracy theories :)

GALVESTON A lawsuit filed by a former transportation director accuses the Galveston school district and its superintendent of discrimination, saying the school system favors white job applicants.
The district had no comment on the lawsuit.
Attorney Anthony P. Griffin filed a lawsuit July 13 in Galveston s federal court on behalf of Joe L. Alvarez, former director of transportation for the Galveston Independent School District. The district s superintendent, Larry Nichols, also is named in the lawsuit.
Alvarez s chief complaints include allegations that the district fired him but kept a less-qualified, white employee who replaced him.

You Got … Tanner'd?
|10.16.08 at 12:30 am ET
There's no question that Rajon Rondo and Devin Harris are poised to become two of the league's best point guards in years to come. The question is, would Rondo get schooled like Harris did?
Check out the video to see Harris, dressed in New Jersey Nets gear, get shown up by UK streetballer Stuart Tanner, who took a page out of KG's v-neck sweater collection, while the Nets were overseas for preseason basketball.
Harris got Tanner'd last week. Will he get Rondo'd tonight when the Celtics face off against the Nets?

What's so good?

New Gods' debut single "On Your Side" has just been released, and it's a change-up from the cheerful indie pop Little Red put out. Building steadily, the pace and power of the track expands and climaxes brilliantly with vast guitar riffs and bristling percussion. You can notice a number of different inspirations to this music, but they mesh well.
"On Your Side" is a great introduction to this new venture, which will be busy supporting The Rubens on their mammoth National Tour throughout September and October.

Harry E. Black, the finance director in Baltimore, is Mayor John Cranley's pick to be Cincinnati's next city manager, according to a source close to the mayor.
"I'm very excited about this,'' Cranley said in a news conference this afternoon in the mayor's office. "Here's a guy who lifted himself up by his own bootstraps in a very tough neighborhood of Baltimore."
As finance director in Baltimore, Cranley said, he guided the city to the first upgrade in the city's credit rating in 10 years.
Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley said Friday he is behind his own schedule but he'll recommend a new city manager to city council by the first week of August.
In the meantime, Cranley has asked city council to allow interim city manager Scott Stiles to remain running the day-to-day operations of the city for another two months.
The mayor said his plan was to have recommended a permanent replacement for former city manager Milton Dohoney by now. Dohoney resigned shortly after Cranley was elected last November.
*Update 12/11/13 4:30 p.m*
Cincinnati Parks Director Willie Carden has informed Mayor John Cranley he's withdrawing from consideration to be the next city manager, according to a statement from the Mayor's spokesman.
Cincinnati Council will not vote Wednesday to confirm Willie Carden as the next city manager.
Mayor John Cranley announced the delay Tuesday just before Council's Rules Committee was scheduled to interview Carden and take a vote.
Cranley said he was delaying the vote because he did not realize some council members had not seen an ordinance that will exempt Carden from living in the city.
"To make sure that Council has time to digest the ordinances," Cranley said. "And that all of you have the opportunity to meet with Mr. Carden individually before taking a vote."

Bills add Pettine, Hackett to staff
Newly hired Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone wasted little time filling the top two positions on his staff.
IN AND OUTWho's fired and hired? Check in here for all the NFL head-coaching moves.
The offensive-minded Marrone went with NFL experience in hiring Mike Pettine to be the Bills defensive coordinator on Thursday. And Marrone, the former Syracuse head coach, went with familiarity in having Orange assistant Nathaniel Hackett follow him to Buffalo to run the offense.
The moves were announced three days after Marrone took over in Buffalo, replacing Chan Gailey who was fired after three consecutive losing seasons.
Pettine has 12 seasons of NFL experience, and spent the past four years at the same position with the Jets. Pettine was available after turning down New York's offer to extend his contract last season.
Under Pettine, New York's defense has not ranked lower than eighth in the NFL in yards allowed. And that includes a top ranking in 2009. He's known for having an aggressive approach in applying pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
It'll be now on him to provide a semblance of identity to a high-priced but underachieving defense that was among the NFL's worst last season. The Bills finished 22nd in the NFL in yards allowed, while giving up 435 points - the second most in team history.
That's well below the preseason expectation of what was supposed to be a new and improved defense that included the offseason addition of defensive end Mario Williams, who signed a six-year, $100 million contract in free agency.
COACHING CANDIDATESSee who the hottest names are as teams hunt for new head coaches.
Buffalo's coming off its second consecutive 6-10 finish, has not enjoyed a winning season since going 9-7 in 2004, and has not made the playoffs in 13 seasons - the league's longest active drought.
Hackett will be responsible for running Marrone's offense, which will include play-calling duties. That's a familiar position for Hackett, who has worked under Marrone for the past three years, including the last two as Syracuse's offensive coordinator.
The Orange offense set numerous school records in leading the team to an 8-5 finish, including a 38-14 win over West Virginia in the Pinstripe Bowl last month. The offense set records for yards per game (476), yards passing (3,757), first downs (328) and touchdowns passing (26).
Hackett is familiar with the Bills. He previously served as the team's offensive quality control coach from 2008-09, with his final year in Buffalo coinciding with the arrival of starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Hackett inherits an offense that sputtered last season. Buffalo finished 19th in yards gained and 21st in points.
The unit's production dropped as the season progressed. After the offense combined for 15 touchdowns in Buffalo's first four games of the season, it managed just 21 over the final 12.
GET IT ON!NFL's wild-card weekend delivered all kinds of action.
Fitzpatrick's future is uncertain in Buffalo, and he's due a $3 million roster bonus in March. General manager Buddy Nix has already said he plans to select a quarterback in the draft in April. He also hasn't ruled out the possibility of acquiring one in free agency or through a trade.
One draft candidate could be former Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib, who is projected to be a second- or third-round pick.

Brick by Brick
Allison Winn Scotch on Apr 08 2010 | Filed under: CRAFT, REAL WORLD
So when I asked Teri if she had any suggestions as to what I should write about this month, she jokingly suggested that I tackle how I write so quickly. I'm pretty sure this was because I'd just tweeted (are you not on Twitter yet? For shame! Go join today!), that I'm nearing the completion of the first draft of my fourth book, but I thought it was good fodder for discussion all the same.
Because, you see, I don't actually write all that quickly. I think it just seems that way from the outside view. What I do instead is sort of what a bricklayer does when building a house: I lay down each level, brick by brick, until I can step back and say, "Wow, I actually constructed something pretty sizable here." So let's break down how I do that.
I started writing this book, as of now titled The Memory Of Us, in November. I sold The One That I Want, my book that's out in June (eek!), on a pitch alone, and I didn't feel comfortable doing that again. I struggled too much with that manuscript to box myself into writing off of a singular paid-for-concept, so I wrote the first four chapters (let's say, about 12k words) pretty quickly. I don't know, within a week or so. But that's when I was on the high of stumbling across a great idea, and I was 100% jazzed with putting it down on paper and seeing where it could go. You guys know that high – the, I-have-to-get-to-my-computer-and-purge-myself-of-these-awesome-ideas high. Well, we sold the book and then reality struck me smack in the face.
Namely, that the writing was always going to be as easy as those first four chapters, and that, yes, this was actually going to be work, sometimes, not so much fun work, arduous, do-anything-to-procrastinate work. (I'm a big fan of hyphens today, evidently.) So this is what I did, and this is how, even when I was crawling through the muck of the manuscript, I've nearly come out on the other side: I told myself that, come hell or highwater, I had to write 1k words a day. One thousand. Really, that might sound like a lot, but it's not. I spend a lot of time in my head, crafting what's going to happen to my characters and what they're going to say and how they're going to react to whatever calamity I throw at them, so once all of that brainstorming is done, sitting down and banging out 1k words shouldn't be too tough. In theory. Many days, it was excruciating. Like, I'd hit 999, and immediately log off. But the funny thing about this method is that 1k words + a few months means that you almost have a completed first draft. That's, what, somewhere in the ballpark of 20-25k words a month (I don't write on the weekends), and given that I have a May deadline, it was the only way I knew how to keep going while maintaining a steady and accurate route.
1k words. In all honesty, I spend so much time mulling over my story and characters that once I sit down, 1k words only takes me about an hour. But I don't see this as writing quickly, I see this as writing strategically. Sure, not everyone can commit to 1k words a day. So start smaller. Start with 500. For me (and I suspect for many writers), writing is a little bit like working out: the more you do it, the easier it is to incorporate it into your routine, but once you've fallen off the wagon, it's pretty damn hard to get back into. So I didn't allow for that. Instead, I went at it almost clinically. But it worked. I'm at about 75k words four months later. I laid each brick down individually, and now, I can step back and see the enormity of what I built. Not bad for a few months work.
So do you guys have a writing plan in place? How quickly do you complete your manuscripts?

I'm still at the 500 daily quota level, but 1k is my goal. 2k would be especially nice, but I'm just not there yet. And you're right: at least for me, it's like working out. 500 used to be a struggle. Now it's almost easy, because I've built up that "muscle" — and 1k is the new struggle.
.-= Kristan´s last blog ..Get ya head in the game =-.
Great post, Allison! That's EXACTLY what I commit myself to: 1,000 words a day on my work days (Monday through Thursday in my case). My time is pretty tight due to my children's schedules, but I have it down to a science. Drop the kids as early as the school will take them (8:50), back at home by 9:03, fiddle around for a little while, then get out those 1,000 words before I have to leave again at 11:40. I find the time constraints actually help me keep to the 1,000 words. I'm on the second book now (first is due out next year) and knowing I have an editor waiting for the second manuscript also keeps me going. Which reminds me: I should be writing…
I commit to writing 500 words a day, on something…anything, and I did punch out a first draft in 30 days. Once. Under NaNoWriMo mania. But this second novel has taken me longer, maybe because I'm a little more serious about it, and the rewrites are what's killing me.
I think you're right, though. Writing is like working out. It's easy to put it off for a few days, then much harder to get back on the treadmill.
Goodness! I belong to a writing community where we write flash fiction (1k words or less) and post the stories to our blogs with links to them.
Sometimes I struggle to write 700 words in one week, other times I need to edit story down to 1k.
But I think it's as you say. Writing EVERY day is the key. Also, since I spend most of the time wondering/thinking about an idea, it might be better for me to exercise the brain, as well as the writing arm, heh!
Well, will try it your way. Thank you!
.-= Marisa Birns´s last blog ..Avocation =-.
yep, a thousand words a day is my quota too. usually they come easily. sometimes, they do not. i'll be checking word count every ten seconds and it seems like i'm actually going backwards! yesterday was a super easy writing day and i thought i must have done over a thousand but when i checked it was only 699! i let it go because it had been such a successful session.
sometimes when i am short one day i'll try to make up the difference the next day. i like the feeling of maintaining quota even if it's staggered. so today i am aiming for 1301 words!
.-= denice´s last blog ..today i am grateful for… =-.
I shoot for 2k a day when writing first drafts. I used time writing to reach that goal, otherwise I'd just sit and read blogs and stuff. My manuscript may wind up a little bloated due to the urgency of timed writing, but I'd rather have too much to work with rather than too little.
.-= Jonathan´s last blog ..It's Only Fear =-.
I'm usually able to get 500 – 1000 words on my lunch break at work. (Because of a recent layoff, I've been more productive).
If I don't hit 1000 words at lunch, I'm usually able to find time in the evening to get there, or write a bit more on weekends to make it up.
But just 250 words a day, 6 days a week gets you a novel (or close to a novel, depending on length) in a year's time.
I've found that I need to produce a higher word count to keep my head in a story, but I know people who the 250 word a day thing has worked for.
When I was laid off from my last job, the first month or so (time I thought I'd be hitting 1500 words a day), I didn't produce much. I wrote at different times during the day — not on a schedule.
Once I scheduled writing time each day (just before and after lunch), I was back up to a word count that pleased me.
I also set a goal of 1k per day. I work the night shift so I was able to find a good chunk of time in the morning to write. This began when I was under the pressure of NaNoWrimo (so I actually set a goal of 1,100-1,200 per day). NaNoWriMo gave me the motivation to actually start my first book. It gave me confidence that I could actually tackle something this huge. It's very rewarding.
Great advice, Allison!
.-= Amy´s last blog ..Not Quite Easter-y =-.
The 1000-words-a-day strategy got me to completion on my first novel — before that I was always starting and stopping, and starting again, and stalling. At this point I don't write every day, but go in surges instead, since I work a full-time job and it's easier for me to do a 10K surge on a weekend than it is to hammer away on smaller sections throughout the week. But I do really want to get a solid first draft on this novel before the publicity and other author-y stuff on The Kitchen Daughter kicks in, so that may change. And I do *think* about the book every day, so even when I'm not putting words on the screen, I'm plotting, researching, naming my characters, and doing other things that keep the book on my mind.
.-= Jael´s last blog ..wordless wednesday xxxiv =-.
I've done NaNoWriMo twice and each time that initial, insane, crazy fast 50,000 words in a month lays the foundation for a manuscript that then takes me another 2 months to turn (at 1000 words a day) into a first draft of 100,000 words. Which is nice to have and all, but . . . I write 'fast' because half the time I don't even know what the book is about until I've finished the first draft. And then the real work begins.
.-= Sarah Woodbury´s last blog ..The Fictional King Arthur (rant) =-.
I tend to be a bit of a burst writer–plugging away for months, then writing a LOT in the last half of the book. Most of the time, I still show up every day and do something with the book, getting to know it, writing a page or two or six, then ambling back to research or character development or whatever. Then it will hit a tipping point and I write 3-5000 words a day for a few weeks. (Crash) Then rewrite.
Carolyn See preaches 1000 words a day, every day, for the rest of your life. It's a beautiful, productive pace (and yes, it doesn't take that long when you actually sit down to do it).
.-= Barbara Samuel O'Neal´s last blog ..Award news for THE LOST RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS =-.
I try to do the same, getting out 1000 words a day every working day (I take weekends off, but it's according to family schedule, so it's often in the middle of the week), and boy, some day's it's just the most horrendous challenge. It shouldn't be, considering the sum, but man! Other days, of course, I can bang out several pages and not realize it, so it all balances out.
It's very reassuring to know this can steer you well professionally, Allison (depending I suppose on the target book size in the end.. a 200k fantasy epic work as well). How much time does that leave you for revisions and possibly overhauling previous chunks of progress?
.-= Hayley E. Lavik´s last blog ..In need of professional help =-.
I love how generous you are in sharing your process, Allison, and I think the key to your successful system is the time you spend thinking before you write. I know you said running is a great vehicle for encouraging creativity -for me it's walking (the lazy woman's version of Allison's process). I'm going to do more of that with the next book!
Thanks for sharing your methods. I spend about two months researching and jotting notes down, thinking about direction.
Then I spend another two months pumping out the first draft. After a 2-3 week break, I'll spend another two months revising and editing.
Generally, it takes me from origin of idea to ready-for-editors-eyes about 7 months. When in full writing mode I aim for 1500 words per day, allowing myself an out after 1200 depending on external needs (laundry, dinner, not enough sleep).
Great post. Thanks a bunch.
.-= Daryl Sedore´s last blog ..Be Successful and Don't Deny It =-.
I found NaNoWriMo to be helpful in getting started on a new project and building a lot of momentum. But now that I'm rewriting that scramble as a proper first draft, I'm focusing on one chapter per week instead of word count. That helps me stay focused on my goal, which is to write a good chapter, not just banging out ideas, which I have mostly done already. Sometimes it's six pages, sometimes it's fifteen–however long that chapter needs to be.
I use a weekly writing group meeting as a useful deadline. I try to bring a selection from a new chapter each time.
It seems that every writer has a different method that works best for her or him, but the successful ones find one that works and stick to it.
.-= Genie of the Shell´s last blog ..Chapter 5 =-.
Wow, thanks everyone for sharing your own processes (processi?) It's good to know that I might be on to something here.
One thing that I've also found that works – for those of you who feel like you only have small windows to write in – is to sit down IMMEDIATELY whenever the idea strikes me. One thing that I'm guilty of is ruminating almost too much – I have a lightbulb moment – and then I continue on with my day rather than writing it right then. Which makes it harder when i finally do sit down to write: if I'd done it in the moment, when I was really inspired, the words would have taken care of themselves. This happened last night after I put my kids to bed: I was mulling something over and normally, I would have left it for the morning, but I really thought I could give it my all RIGHT THEN, so I asked my husband to get dinner ready, and sat down for 25 minutes and literally wrote another thousand words.
Hayley – as far as revisions, I'll have about a month to fix some things on my own before my May deadline, but then we have a few months of back and forth with my editor before the final version needs to be done. I believe the final draft will be submitted sometime around Sept-ish.
Allison, while I very much admire and would like to have a brain that worked like yours, my process is more similar to what you wrote just above. I put in the *time* to write every day, but if I don't do it while it's fresh, it's like beating back the jungle with a butter knife. It never works as well as those moments of near-Visitation.
Of course, at the moment I don't have any deadlines except those that are self-imposed…
.-= Jan O'Hara´s last blog ..You Want Me to Wax What? =-.
My will power is in constant flux. Sometimes, I don't even have the stamina to make it to 500 words. Other days I can write for hours and hours (which doesn't always translate into a large word count because I edit a lot while I write).
Ruminating is a huge problem for me too. A light bulb will suddenly pop up and I'll miss the opportunity because, while trying to flesh out the concept in my head, I'll forget the original idea. Truly frustrating.
.-= Dominique´s last blog ..Character: Walk in Their Shoes =-.
Hi Allison,
I'm a fairly slow writer, so I get discouraged when I hear other people say, "Oh, I finished my novel in 3 months."
Still, when I look back over my rough work, I'm usually fairly happy with what I see. Sure, there's a lot of rearranging to do, stuff to add, language to tighten, but I don't feel like I'm looking at a complete mess needing a rewrite.
I figure a first draft in 6 months is more than respectable. For an 85,000 word draft, I need to write less than 700 words per day, 5 days per week, over 26 weeks. Less than 500 per day, if I write every day.
And I'm definitely with Sarah P. on the walking thing ;)

Jet ride was killer
August 2014
This experience was very well organised. I did also like the way that the people on the helicopter tour aswell were made not to get too wet on the jet boat ride.
Really high adrenaline loved it.

A group of Chicago-area nuns is suing a strip club behind
their convent, complaining of noise, glaring neon lights,
fist fights and heaps of litter that include empty whiskey
bottles and used condoms.
The Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo said Illinois
mandates a 300m buffer zone between adult entertainment
venues and places of worship or schools. The suit, filed on
Friday in Cook County, also names the village of Stone Park,
where the strip club is located.
The $US3 million Club Allure opened last September across the
back fence of the convent, which has three chapels, a home
for retired sisters, and a house for young women thinking
about becoming nuns, the nuns' lawyers said.
"The Sisters have every right to pray and work peacefully
without disruption from a strip club in their backyard,"
Peter Breen, the lawyer for the nuns, said in a statement.
A representative for the club was not immediately available
for comment.
Stone Park attorney Dean Krone said on Tuesday that the 300m
limit applies to most of the state, but a 1.6km restriction
applies to suburban Cook County, which includes Stone Park.
He said the Cook County limit is unconstitutional because it
would prohibit any kind of strip club in the small towns in
the county, which would violate free speech protections.
