South Korea's second largest bank ordered to merge
South Korean financial watchdogs on Wednesday rejected a self-rescue plan submitted by Hanvit Bank, forcing the country's second largest bank to merge with other institutions.
"We rejected Hanvit's self-rescue plan," a Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) official told AFP.
The watchdog also turned down rescue plans for Peace Bank, Kwangju bank and Cheju bank.
The four debt-ridden banks were required to present new plans by November 22, which should include moves to merge with other units under government-led holding companies.
The FSC, however, approved self-rescue plans submitted by Cho Hung Bank and Korea Exchange Bank, allowing them to stand on their own.— (AFP)

DashLight works great as an app, widget, DashClock extension, or Tasker plugin – the only app to combine all these options seamlessly.
Each component can also be used independently of the others, if you wish.
The widget can be placed on the homescreen or the lockscreen (or both), and its appearance is fully customisable (with the upgrade), allowing it to blend in with any theme you may have on your device.
The app allows users without a camera flash on their device to use the screen as a bright light source.
While the extension is the first dedicated torch/flashlight DashClock extension.
A small Tasker plugin is also included (upgrade only), allowing you to do crazy things such as flashing the LED upon receiving notifications, or shaking your device to activate the light. Get creative!
Feel free to email me if you come up with any good DashLight-related Tasker profiles that can be shared with other users.
Please Note:
• Due to the way DashClock works, I am currently unable to toggle the flash directly from the lock screen using the extension – i.e. Without unlocking the device.
Unfortunately, this is a limitation of DashClock, not this app.
• The widget however, can toggle the flash directly from the lock screen, without unlocking.
• The app was added due to a bug in Android 4.0/ICS that prevented me from having a properly functioning widget-only "app" (Issue 24208). It is also useful for users without a camera flash.
• DashLight will not work properly from the lockscreen if you have Face Unlock enabled, as the camera cannot be accessed by two apps at the same time. i.e. DashLight and Face Unlock.
DashLight is the most complete, well designed, and intuitive app torch app available. Best of all, it is (90%) free, with no ads in sight!
• DashClock extension
• Widget – Homescreen and Lockscreen
• Customisable widget appearance – blend in with any theme
• App – Screen light so no camera flash required
• Hide App Drawer Icon – Remove the app drawer icon if you only use the widget/extension
• Tasker plugin
• Control DashLight externally (see Devs section below)
• Notification tray toggle (off only)
• Auto-Off timer
• Kit Kat Immersive Mode for Screen Light
• Clean Holo design
• Simple, effective, and lightweight
• No ads and no internet permission required
You can now integrate DashLight control in to your own apps!
Simply broadcast an Intent with one of the following actions:
• com.spectrl.dashlight.FLASHLIGHT_OFF
• com.spectrl.dashlight.FLASHLIGHT_ON
• com.spectrl.dashlight.FLASHLIGHT_TOGGLE
Drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any other requests.
Prolonged use of the LED as a flashlight/torch may cause overheating, and damage to your device.
I have only been able to test on a Nexus 4/5/7, so please let me know if you have any problems with your particular device, preferably via email (don't forget to include which device you have!).
• CAMERA – required in order to control and toggle the camera flash (categorised as part of the camera hardware)
• WAKE_LOCK – used to prevent issues with the flash potentially turning off when the device sleeps (e.g. If the screen goes for an extended amount of time, but you want to keep the flash on)
• BILLING – allows the in-app upgrade to work

More from developer
Rec. (Screen Recorder)
If your device is running Android 4.4 Kit Kat, Rec. requires your device to be rooted in order to do its magic.
Rec. will work seamlessly, without root, on Android 5.0 Lollipop however.
Please read the FAQs below for more important information.
Rec. is a beautiful screen recording app, providing untethered, flexible and fully configurable screen recording capabilities for your Android device; neatly packaged into an intuitive user interface.
Rec. (Pro) highlights include:
▪ No need to be tied to your computer while recording.
▪ Longer screen recording, with Audio – record for up to 1 hour.
▪ Audio recording via the mic.
▪ A beautiful user interface – no more messing with the command line/terminal.
▪ Save your favourite configurations as Presets.
▪ Automatically show screen touches for the duration of your recording.
▪ Customisable countdown timer so that you can get your screen recording set-up perfectly.
▪ Shake your device, or simply switch your screen off, to stop your recording early.
* Why can't I install Rec. on my device?
Your phone/tablet must be running Android 4.4 Kit Kat or Android 5.0 Lollipop.
* Why do I need root?
If you are on Android 5.0 Lollipop then you no longer need root and can ignore this question (and the next one)!
However, if you are running Android 4.4 Kit Kat, then your device must be rooted in order for Rec. to function correctly/at all.
* How do I root my device?
Unfortunately the process differs for every Android device, and so there is no universal rooting solution - however CF-Auto-Root is a good place to start. Otherwise, please search for a root guide for your particular device using Google.
* Can Rec. record audio?
Yes! Audio is recorded via the mic.
Rec. Pro users can record video + audio for up to 1 hour, whereas Rec (free) users can try out recording with audio for 5 minutes in order to test whether it works properly on their device before purchasing the upgrade.
* Why is the recording laggy and slow on my Samsung Galaxy S2/S3/Note/...?
This seems to be an issue with Exynos-based devices not playing nicely with the native screenrecord function, so there's not a lot I can do about it right now (I also don't have access to any Samsung devices). Sorry!
* Does Rec. work with Intel x86 based devices?
I have no idea (but probably not)! Unfortunately, I don't have access to any x86 devices running Android 4.4+, but if you try it, please let me know how you get on.
* Are there any other known issues?
Enabling the Audio option may cause the recording to fail on the LG G2 (on Android 4.4 Kit Kat only). I will attempt to resolve this as soon as I have access to an LG G2 device to test with.
* Can you add translations for my language?
Go here: https://www.getlocalization.com/rec/
Top Tips:
1. Disable notifications in your Superuser app to prevent the notifications from appearing in the beginning of your recordings.
2. Switch the Size width/height values to flip the recording orientation.
3. Tap the Size label to get your device's native resolution.
Tested on a Nexus 5/7, running stock rooted 4.4 Kit Kat and Android 5.0 Lollipop, but it has been reported to work fine on other ROMs and devices also.
Unfortunately, I do not have the time or resources to test any other device/ROM combinations, so your mileage may vary.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any problems though.
FeeCalc (for PayPal)
The reverse mode also allows you to calculate the total you should request in order to receive the amount you want, after fees.
Please Note:
I have made this app available to download in any country, however I am only able to include rates for countries and currencies that PayPal "officially" supports - i.e. Countries where no currency conversion is required. This is because PayPal do not publish the currency exchange rates that they use for transactions.
e.g. I cannot include India until PayPal start to allow transactions in Rupees (so please stop leaving negative reviews!)
* Standard & Reverse Mode
* Up-to-date and uses the latest PayPal fees
* Supports over 25 countries (Tip: Spain is in Europe!)
* Ability to enter a custom rate
* On-the-fly calculations
* Copy result to clipboard
* Localised PayPal help
* Personal accounts supported
* Follows Android Design guidelines
* Ad-Supported
** As far as I am aware the app is extremely accurate. However, if you feel this is not the case, then please send me an email with an example and I will get it fixed.
* Please get in touch if you'd like to provide a translation for your native language.

AppShare requires your Android device to be rooted in order to do its magic.
AppShare provides you with an intuitive, straightforward way to share your downloaded apps between the different user accounts on your Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) device.
Select an app, then choose which users you wish to share the app with.
AppShare gives you the ability to share apps with other user accounts on your device without having to setup a Google account for each user.
Simply download an app using your Google account on the primary account as usual, and then share it with the other users on the device using AppShare.
Each user has a reserved space for app data, meaning that game progress/scores, and other app data is kept separate from other users.
This is great for sharing your Android device with family and friends while keeping your personal data protected.
AppShare is also ideal for restricting the use of certain apps to particular user accounts – e.g. Disable the Play Store on your kid's user account and control the apps they have access to.
While AppShare is most useful when you have multiple users on your device, you can also use it to hide user apps and disable system apps even when there is only a single user on the device.
You can potentially improve the performance of your device by "unsharing" (disabling/removing) system and user apps you are not currently using – even on your main account – preventing them from running and using up valuable system resources.
Upgrade to AppShare+ to unlock the full functionality of AppShare.
What you get:
• No more ads
• No restriction on the amount of app-user changes you can make
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions but please read this description fully before contacting me with any issues.
Note: Only the stock Google 4.2 ROM is officially supported, however custom ROMs should also work, providing they have not messed with Google's multi-user implementation.
This is uncharted territory so there may well be some bugs and other random goings on so please bear with me and let me know if you are having problems or come across anything out of the ordinary, especially if you are using the stock 4.2 ROM. Thanks!
• Multi-user support is only available on Android devices running 4.2+ (Jelly Bean).
• Your device will be need to be rebooted in order for any changes to take effect.
• Paid apps may not work unless the Google account that was used to purchase the app is added to the user account that you wish to share the app with.
• The Android system may prevent a few apps from being enabled/shared. e.g. Google Wallet in the UK.
• If you disable the Google Play Store for a particular user, you cannot have a Google account set up on that user, otherwise the Play Store will return – this may be true for all system apps with updates.
However, disabling the Play Store on a new user (without a Google account already set-up) seems to work.
Although every effort has been made to thoroughly test the app and ensure stability, this app still modifies undocumented system files, and therefore I will not be responsible for any lost apps/data.
Please take care when enabling/disabling system apps.
The app shouldn't allow you to do any irreparable damage, but you have been warned.

In today's New York Times, columnist David Brooks does a nice job capturing what so many of us civilized Jews feel when we touch down in Israel:
"As an American Jew, I was taught to go all gooey-eyed at the thought of Israel, but I have to confess, I find the place by turns exhausting, admirable, annoying, impressive and foreign."
It's a nice, gentle piece—probably like Brooks himself. And it shows up as clearly as anything the difference between the Israeli and American Jew. There's a fish out of water quality to Brooks' observations and experiences that even Palestinians in Israel couldn't relate to—they're more Israeli than him. He ends his piece holding out the hope that one day Israelis won't cut in line. He can rest assured that they don't—after they've lived in America for a while.

I don't consider the ones happy and excited about a game fanboys.
Fanboys are the ones who take it to a zealot-like nature and use this mask of "happiness" to cover their intolerance of anything different.

Fanbois can be either positive or negative, haters really only negative.
Thus, haters are far more hurtful than fanbois (if they fanbois are positive) as positivity hurts no one.
Big differene between "This game is awesome I'm having so much fun!"
And "This game is so much better than X,Y,Z and ya'll are stupid/etc. for liking that crap!"

A "true" fan is positive and hurts no one.
And the "hater" who comes in to rain on someone's parade and piss in their cheerios is the worst of all.
"I love this game I'm having such a good time!"
Hater comes into thread - "Well, you're stupid and here is why..."
What does that help?
Though the "This game is better than YOUR game and YOUR stupid for liking that crap" is almost as bad as it is an open invitation for the hater to come in and play defender.
Thus you have 99% of threads on this website.

I know it is hard for you to believe but there were actually those that enjoyed SWTOR. I seem to recall you giving them quite a hard time over there in some threads. Then again as usual since you like this game apparently everyone should and not have any issues.
It is perfectly okay.

Because you sure as shit aren't the only one.

And no, most people don't come to these forums. Vast majority of gamers don't even go to forums, unless they specifically need help on something. And even then, why would you go to MMORPG over websites tailored to the game a la guru, or the official forums?
I guess my point is, if you are bothered by people talking about the game they enjoy in the forums for THAT GAME, don't visit the forums. It's as simple as that. When you come to a forum designed for a certain game, and you put down that game, you are going to be flamed. It's honestly that simple. You may not think the game is the greatest thing ever, but that doesn't mean it's not the greatest game bobby joe shmoe has played.
Nobody here really needs you to point out that there are faults in the game. Everyone knows that there are faults in the game, and that those faults may or may not just be personal opinion. When people post suggestions to the game in a constructive format (using proper english, and being polite), generally people are respectful. And most importantly, people are even more respectful if you aren't trying to speak for the gaming populace, and declare your opinion the only valid opinion. Most people don't hate suggestions, but when you declare that the game will fail unless it has "x, y, and z", people are going to laugh at you.
Every game has fanatical fans who don't look at areas where the game improves, and GW2 is no different in that regard.

Huh? haters can only be negative? what if a so called hater is giving a genuine criticism? i would say that is positive for the game. You are still failing to see both sides of the coin and focusing only one side.
Both haters and fans are capable of being positive and negative.
And be my guest to tell these people who keep telling others how to enjoy the game or make topics like 'GW2 is overwhelming success so people who dislike it are just mad or jealous with its success ' that they are not fans. Would be interesting to see what they have to say about it.

Why did i stop anyone from giving an opinion? doesn't mean i can not point the obvious hypocricy from time to time. I am neither a hater or fanboi. I am just a simple fan of GW2 who doesn't believe in tellinng others 'how to play the game'.
Originally posted by Nikkita
No, someone who is positive and giving constructive criticism is NOT a hater.
It's so damned rare on MMORPG.com it's no surprise people have no idea what that looks like lol
And of course over-zealous fans are still fans, but the "fanboi" moniker is a negative one for a reason - they are still generating hate with their combative attitudes.
Hence why I said "if they fanbois are positive" but that means they aren't really "fanbois" they are just fans?
Just arguing semantics at this point - which is pointless.
But the jist of it is that positivity is never worse than negativity.
So I guess in that sense the OP is kind of right, the "feral" fanboi who is negative is not worse than the hater, they are just as bad.
But pointing that out and making a whole thread about it is a waste of time and does NOTHING but create further negativity and fan the flames, adding to the problem.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.

Again, you're being highly hypocritical BadSpock. Gamers affect Games, and what you're essentially saying is that no one should ever post their opinion on anything whatsoever unless it is a positive approach towards that specific game.
Jinxxed0 was correct in that regard, and sure he could have gone without the "WoW Babies" comment. However, he pointed out that opinions twist and turn when left unchecked to morph into lies or general misrepresentations of the truth. Maybe his opinion was a bit more out there than others, including my own...sometimes, but that doesn't mean he was wrong for saying it.
I think you're not being geniune to your idea of leaving people to their specific sub-genre when you yourself are attacking people outside of your own "normal sub-genre".
He had every right to say what he thinks, and for the most part I agree with him save for the direct insults he implied.

Sure, there is some bad fanboyism going on in these forums, but by far the majority of hyperbole going on is coming from the hater camp.
Why is it that I keep hearing about how GW2 was supposed to be the second coming --- from the haters?
I think the people criticising this game need to realise that it wasn't the majority of fans hyping this game that is causing this problem, but instead that the critics have overinflated the claims being made by the fans. Well that's my impression anyway.
The game is fantastic and no amount of forum PvP is going to change that (The WvWvW queues do need sorting though!).

Trust me when I say that no one who post on this site is hurting a game by either hating it or being a rabid fanboy. It's a tiny fraction... a very small sample of a user group. How many people are playing Gw2? Now how many people post on this site? Do the math. It's irrelivent to the success, or downfall of a game.
I'm a "normal" player. By no means a fanboy or a hater. I'm currently playing and having fun. So I just ignore it. If you don't like it, just leave it be and play something else.. if you love it, just play it. I have seen quite a few post from you regarding not diggin the game instead of just playing something else. Post like the one you made above are just inciting more of the extremist from the woodwork....
I must say though, it's sad that people are contacting you off the site, that's just uncalled for... You should hide or remove your email.

I did the same for TSW, got an overall positive response, but I was still called a troll & hater by some.
I also remember when you flamed me for speaking out about TESO being a SWTOR-clone, which it represented itself to be by the Lead Developer himself.
It's very hard for me to read things like this from you and then you turn around and say something else the next month BadSpock.

Still I see valid discussions being made all the time here about the positives and negatives. Simply have to wear some hip waders at times.
But it is a message board so frankly should be expected.
I have also seen some good topics folks have made get buried by just as many fans as haters because they feel it is a lot more important to post in a topic like "This is a great game....for me to poop on!" which is very unfortunate. Much as some like to bitch about the topics they feel are here to incite hatred and trollish they sure have a knack for posting in those more often.

The issue at hand currently though is that almost no form of "positive criticism" is accepted on these forums anymore. The moment you point out one flaw you get attacked as a "hater" and "troll".
If I see a horrible flaw I'll say it outright and to the point what I feel that it is. I've even had people in the past claim I was claiming 100% facts when they were merely strong opinions based on experiences I've had with that specific topic.
I almost don't see a point in posting on these forums anymore when ANY differing opinion is treated as an instant /ignore. It's almost depressing.

Council wants money to extend Robin Hood Line
The cost of part of a proposed extension to Nottinghamshire's Robin Hood Line should be part-funded by the government, according to the county council.

The council's asking for half of the 200 thousand pounds needed for the next phase of the study.
Advice from Network Rail about New Street congestion
Network Rail is issuing the following advice to people using Birmingham New Street station this weekend, as it expects a surge in numbers of people visiting the city by train.
- Allow more time to catch your train – it is likely you will have to queue at peak times from Friday afternoon through the weekend.
- The station will be busy. Be prepared for large crowds using the station.
- There will be crowd safety measures in place. These are tried and tested and there for passengers safety.
- Last Saturday an additional 100,000 people used the station compared to an average Saturday (230,000 compared to 130,000)
Crowd control measures in force at New Street station
Crowd control measures will be in force at Birmingham New Street Station again this weekend, after 100,000 more people than usual passed through the station last Saturday.
People reacted on social media last week that the concourse was overcrowded, and one person complained his 5 year old son had been injured.
@networkrailbhm never mind the footfall; children and pregnant mums were getting crushed at the bottom of your escalators today.
@networkrailbhm this was while your crowd management staff were around. It was dangerous and my 5yo got injured.
Network Rail said however they had received no formal complaints, and insisted the measures put in place were completely safe.
Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market and the Black Friday shopping weekend were two of the reasons cited for it being unusually busy last weekend.
Businesses to get more compensation for tram works

Dramatic commute as firefighters called to train fire
"No smoking on the platform please". My train caught fire today at Whitchurch. @shropshirestar http://t.co/Fa4mnW9aPa
Commuters in Shropshire have had a dramatic start to the working week after firefighters were called to reports of a fire on board a train in Shropshire.
The train had to stop at Whitchurch railway station, and fire-fighters were called shortly before 7:30am this morning.
A legitimate excuse for the delay to my journey to the office this morning - my train is on fire! http://t.co/5Jffy7wshC
One fire engine dealt with the incident, and Shropshire Fire & Rescue service says it has been using thermal imaging cameras, but no fault could be found with the train.
Passengers have been tweeting pictures of smoke coming from the engine compartment.
Rush hour services between Shrewsbury & Crewe have been heavily disrupted. The train is being recovered and taken to Wrenbury Station, and the incident has now been handed over to Cheshire Fire Service & Arriva Train engineers.

Drones included? Just kidding, Oman signs open skies agreement with the US!
Oman is joining other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in unrestricted air travel to the United States with the signing of a new US deal.Abdul Riaq Said Saleh Al Mandhari, Director of Air Transport Department at the Oman Ministry of Transportation and Communications, confirmed to Gulf News an open skies agreement between the two countries had been signed on Thursday, December 19.The open skies agreement, which removes limitation on air services between and beyond the other's territory by airlines from both countries, paves the way for increased aviation links between the two countries.All other GCC countries, including the UAE, already have an open skies agreement of some degree with the US.
However, the first hurdle will be launching direct flights that reportedly only see's 49,000 passengers travel annually between the two countries.Omani national airline, Oman Air, does not currently fly to the US nor does it have aircraft capable of reaching the US without a stopover.Oman Air could not be reached for comment.Current travel options between the two countries, according to travel search engine ClearTrip.ae, are flights with one to three stop overs. US-carriers, American Airlines and United, offer services with at least one stopover, which is in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
Flights by UAE-carriers Emirates and Etihad Airways from Oman can connect onwards to direct services to certain US destinations.Earlier Omani media reported that the open skies agreement was signed by US Ambassador to Oman Greta C. Holtz and Salim Bin Nasser Al Oufi, Chief Executive Officer of Oman's Public Authority for Civil Aviation Authority (PACA).The US Embassy in Oman did not respond to requests for comment and PACA could not be reached.Trade between the two countries is down 17 per cent to $2.19 billion in the first nine months of 2013 according to the US Census Bureau.

It's A Step Up From the Original, But is That Enough?
The thing about Wii Sports Resort that you need to understand is that it's really on $30. It comes packed in with a Wii MotionPlus which makes up for $20 of the reasonable $50 price tag. But here's the catch. Wii Sports Resort, at it's funnest, is when you're playing multiplayer. You can play things like golf or bowling still, since you don't need to be doing those at the same time, but games like table tennis, sword fighting, dog fighting, and other competitive modes are unplayable with another human unless you have two Wii MotionPluses (Wii Motion Plusi?), simply because you can not play the game without WMP.
In case you don't know. WMP (Wii MotionPlus, duh) is a little tiny adapter you stick into the bottom of your Wiimote that greatly improves the controllers accuracy. The good thing is that it works as advertised, the WMP does indeed to what is says it's made to do. The controllers functionality is leaps and bounds above what is was before, this is most notable in sword fighting. Everywhere your controller moves, the sword moves. Each time you swing, it does exactly what you want it to do.
There are a ton more games than there were in the original Wii Sports. The menu screen has 12 games, but each of those consists of a few subcategories. Most of the games are new, but a few have returned from the old Wii Sports, new and improved with WMP support and other changes. Bowling and golf are both return, as well as tennis in table form. But you don't care about the old games. You want to hear about the new ones.
The game kicks off with you, you guessed it (you probably didn't actually guess it), jumping out of a plane! That's right, you are forced to skydive before you can play anything else. They claim this is to show you how well the WMP really functions, and it doesn't dissapoint. Every little turn, twist, rotation, and waggle of the Wiimote has your Mii skydiver do exactly that while you move around grabbing hands of your other fellow parachutists to earn points.
Once you land safely on Wuhu Island you are free to select any of the unlocked mini game you choose. Which is another thing, I really don't think you should have to unlock anything in this game, it's a party game, you play it with friends and family and you don't want to sit there trying to unlock your favorite game. Most of them are indeed unlocked, but certain difficulties and a few mingames here and there will need to be earned. (i.e. Regular fribee must be completed to unlock frisbee golf)
Most of the games are hit and miss, with all the games in the swordplay and archery category being fun and entertaining, while games wakeboarding, frisbee, dog fighting, and cycling being less fun and ultimately boring.
Some of the games' single player mode can actually pretty deep, so you're going to get a surprising amount of content, such as bowling sticking obstacles on the lane, forcing you to curve your ball around them to be successful. Games like swordplay have tons of different levels of play to have fun with, I've beat about 25-30 different people and the difficulty is still rising. Archery has quite a bit of different stages for you to take on, and things like jet skiing have plenty of racing and time challenges to tackle. Swordplay also has an awesome hack-and-slash like game that has you fighting off tons of sword wielding enemies. If you want to play a frisbee game on manual release (making you pick when to let go of the frisbee, alternatively you can have it automatically release) you'll ned a ton of pracitce, because let me tell you, it's difficult. Also, you can work on beating your friends high score in pretty much about every game on the disc.
For your convenience, the complete lits of Wii Sports Resort games are as follows:
1. Swordplay
- Duel
- Speed Slice
- Showdown
2. Wakeboarding
3. Frisbee
- Frisbee Dog
- Frisbee Golf
4. Archery
5. Basketball
- 3 Point Contest
- 3 on 3 Game
6. Table Tennis
- Match
- Return Challenge
7. Golf
8. Bowling
- 10-Pin Game
- 100-Pin Game
- Spin Control
9. Power Crusing
- Slalom Course
10. Canoeing
- Speed Challenge
11. Cycling
- Road Race
12. Air Sports
- Skydiving
- Island Flyover
- Dogfight
Final Decision
There's no denying it, WSR is way better than Wii Sports. The WMP greatly increases the games' realism, the amount of content is so much more than Resort's predesessor, and it actually feels like a full game, not just some lazy game that was threw together in a matter of months like Wii Sports did. The game, however, still suffers from the same problem the original did. All of the games feel like a little stepping stone to what could be a much bigger and better game. For example, if you like table tennis then you could just go pick up Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis . If you enjoy golf you could just pick up the latest Tiger Woods PGA Tour game. As well as the continuous problem of the game not being all that enjoyable without a friend. Sorry, but if you want to have more than a sub-par time with this game you're going to have to spend atleast $70, or maybe even more than that if you want more than 2 people to be able to play.

Book Reviews
NORMAN D. BROWN, Editor
A Southern Community in Crisis: Harrison County, Texas, 1850-1880.
By Randolph B. Campbell. (Austin: Texas State Historical Asso-
ciation, 1983. Pp. xvii+443. Acknowledgments, introduction,
tables, map, illustrations, footnotes, bibliography, index. $19.95.)
There have been two kinds of county histories. The traditional his-
tory was largely genealogical, recounting the stories of the leading
families. More recent works are representative of the new social his-
tory, where the authors exhaust the sources, both public and private,
in order to answer the most important questions about the socio-
economic changes that have taken place. In this way, local history
sheds light on the history of a region, of a state, of a nation. This
county history by Randolph B. Campbell is an excellent example of
the second type. Campbell's principal sources are the censuses of 1850o,
186o, 1870, and 188o, but the statistical analysis has been buttressed
by quotations from private correspondence found in many collections
of personal papers.
Harrison County, on the eastern edge of Texas, was the most typical
example of the Old South in Texas. Ninety percent of its antebellum
population were natives of the slaveholding states. At first they came
from Tennessee and Virginia, but in the last decade before the Civil
War the Lower South contributed a much larger share of immigrants.
Louis T. Wigfall of South Carolina was the most prominent ante-
bellum lawyer; a member of a Harrison County family, Lucy Holcomb,
became the wife of the wartime governor of South Carolina. These ties
illustrate the push-pull of that society.
The Harrison County of the 185os was preeminently a planter's
society. Cotton production during that decade increased 368 percent.
Slaveholding farmers produced more than 94 percent of all the cotton.
There were consequently more slaves in Harrison than in any other
county in the state. The productivity of slaves jumped markedly in the
Texas State Historical Association. The Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Volume 88, July 1984 - April, 1985. Austin, Texas. The Portal to Texas History. http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth101210/. Accessed July 3, 2015.

About EDAsurf
About Sean Ruttkay the artist
Ruttkay Today…
Today, Ruttkay brings his life's work, from vivid pounding surf to tranquil tropical waterfalls, into focus.
"I do focus a lot on water," Ruttkay says. "I think it's one of those elements that every person, regardless of orientation, has a natural affinity with and if I can somehow capture water in its natural state, it will be instantly stimulating to the viewer."
Stimulating, some might say, is an understatement. When Ruttkay's vision is at its most remarkable is when he enlarges his images to grand proportion and enhances them using a variety of artistic methods. Ruttkay creates all of his large-format installations in his barn like studio in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.
"When I am in my studio I am working in the most creative stages of my process." Ruttkay explains. "It is here where decided which direction I want to take a piece."
In Ruttkay's vernacular, "direction" in art production is code for creating a piece that is either hyper-realistic or mind warping abstract. His hyper-realistic pieces are created by using transparent compounds that add texture and the illusion of movement. Ruttkay's abstract pieces are developed using a variety of material and application techniques.
From the water, to the studio, to the installation, whether it's vivid realism or avant-garde abstraction, Ruttkay is sure to tantalize your visual senses and soothe the soul in the process. – Clare Parker, Our State Magazine
