I've managed to loop through each animationcontainer->mesh->meshsection and grab the vertices for each section, dump those into my own VertexBuffer and render the HavokGirl in the OpenGL pipeline. I can make out the 3d model but it is quite clear that various triangles are missing from the model.
The next step for me was to get at the IndexBuffer for each MeshSection and then draw an element array as opposed to a normal vertex array.
My main issue is that there seems to be multiple hkxIndexBuffer containers in each MeshSection. This is kind of confusing for me as I'm used to 1 vertex buffer being related to 1 index buffer.
I tried a BaseVertex draw method but that just came out really strange so thats obviously not how it was intended to be approached.
So, in practice, how do I use/concatenate these multiple havok index buffers in each mesh section?
More importantly - why are there multiple index buffers to 1 vertex buffer?

Pastor tells how one child survived Newtown shooting
One little first grader at Sandy Hook played dead during the attack and was the only survivor of her class. Her pastor tells her story.
One little first grader at Sandy Hook played dead during the attack and was the only survivor of her class. Her pastor tells her story.
This has got to be the cutest thing I've ever seen! Surely Jesus must be smiling in heaven!
I've been thinking about this video you're about to watch all day, and I still cannot find an adequate way to sum it up for you. Alan Colmes can be a difficult pundit to listen to on even his best day, but I think he finally crossed the kind of line that can't be uncrossed. On FNC, Monday, he was asked to weigh in on Rick Santorum's recent surge in Iowa. As you can see in the video below, Colmes had many negative things to say about Santorum, so I think he could have easily left out the most offensive one of all. Yet… somehow, he didn't choose to. In short, he needlessly and mercilessly ridiculed the way that Rick Santorum's family grieved over one of their dead children. The horrific display starts just after the one minute mark.
I don't know where to begin. I do know the word "unprofessional" does not even begin to cover it. I know that much for sure. But to be honest with you, this is par for the course when it comes to Left Wing punditry. It's never good enough for them to just criticize a Republican's policies. For some reason, they feel compelled to add personal attacks to the mix also. Whether it's Ed Schultz calling Laura Ingraham a slut, or David Letterman calling Sarah Palin a slut, or an MSNBC panel talking about Michele Bachmann's "crazed, bulging eyes", the Left constantly feels it's necessary to make personal attacks toward Republicans. It's never good enough to just discuss policies or issues. But this time, it's too much. When you make fun of the way a family grieves the death of their child, you have crossed a line you cannot come back from.
Alan Colmes must have thought he was on the Jerry Springer show, where you're paid to goad and insult the audience. Where it's your goal to stoke fires of indignation. But you know what… Even Jerry's audience would have no part in what Colmes was selling. I'm ashamed for him. And I'm ashamed America's top rated cable channel even let him finish the segment. I'm not sure Jerry would have let him stay on after saying that. But like I said… this is par for the course with Liberal pundits.
Sammy Goldenstein is a school age boy in New York City who recently had a run-in with the "Occupy" protestors. As they tried to keep bankers from making their way to the Stock Exchange this week, they also made it difficult for children to get to their school across the street from the exchange. Sammy tells his story of how kids were "kicked and hit", and he also said they need to "get a job". Watch his story below.
What are your thoughts on this? Have we gone too far when we target CHILDREN? And have we really gone too far when we target children who are escorted BY POLICE? I'm at a loss for this. How do you hit children in front of their parents and in front of police? …in broad day light, no less. How crazed do you have to be to do this?

Legislature split on whether to continue special session
The session will end Aug. 19 if House and Senate leaders don't agree to end it sooner. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who oversees the Senate, has refused to give up.
"There was a consensus on going forward,'' Dewhurst said Monday after talking with senators Friday and over the weekend.
Last week, Craddick said the Legislature should call it quits because lawmakers were grid-locked and not accomplishing anything.
"At this point in the special session, neither chamber has been able to pass any legislation, and it does not appear that they will. We are wasting time and money, and it is unproductive to prolong this process,'' said Craddick, R-Midland.
But not all House members agree with their leader.
Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Alpine, fired off a letter to Craddick on Monday, protesting the Speaker's comments about ending the session.
"The kids I represent need textbooks. The teachers I represent need health insurance and a pay raise,'' wrote Gallego, chairman of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus. '
Two weeks ago, House members approved the Democrat-favored plan as an amendment to the leadership-supported legislation. But House leaders killed the entire bill after the amendment was approved.
One of the most pressing unmet needs is $295 million in textbook funding for this school year, which begins next week for many districts. The textbooks cannot be delivered to schools because lawmakers haven't approved the funding. Some textbooks used by students are 14 years old.
But Craddick said state law gives legislative leaders the authority to provide funding for new textbooks through socalled ''budget execution.'' But, he said, the law prohibits leaders from taking the action while the Legislature is in session.
Lawmakers are in their second 30-day second special session since May to reduce property taxes and draw up a new funding scheme for public schools. They also failed in the past two regular sessions and a special session last year.
Craddick and many other lawmakers believe there is little chance of agreement on major property tax reduction and education reform. House members rejected the leadership-preferred plan, and the Senate couldn't get enough support to debate its legislation.
Even so, the Senate plans to debate its revised education and property tax reform legislation today - Senate Bill 8. But the bill requires accompanying tax legislation, which must originate in the House. House members defeated one tax bill this special session and have shown no willingness to start the fight again.
Sen. Judith Zaffirini, DLaredo, voted against Senate Bill 8 in committee and plans to do the same today.

While things went dark momentarily for everyone watching Super Bowl XLVII, Michael Crabtree experienced a different and much scarier kind of darkness. In an interview with NFL Network on Thursday, Crabtree said after taking a hard hit from Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith, he temporarily lost vision in the fourth quarter. "When the guy hit me, he hit me all in the face," Crabtree said. "I'm not tripping. I'm not one to whine about nothing, but he hit me all in the face and I couldn't really see after he hit me." Crabtree said the scary moment ended before the next snap as his vision returned prior to the following play, but the wide receiver wasn't upset that no call was made on the play near the goal line on third down. When pushed to describe the aftermath of the hit further, Crabtree noted this wasn't an isolated incident. "They hit me, I really couldn't see. … Then [my vision] just came back. It's not concussion-like. When you get hit in football, it's going to feel like you can't see. It's going to feel intense. But it snapped back. It happens all the time in football." Crabtree was the target of all three of the 49ers' last plays of the game, which all went as incompletions giving the Ravens the ball back on downs. Baltimore eventually went on to win 34-31.

In addition to supporting research led by Daniel Berman, MD, at Cedars-Sinai in heart attack prevention, the Foundation funds are used to allow patients who need testing to get a coronary CT angiogram, the most accurate test for determining the risk of heart attack. While proven in a large, consistent body of evidence and covered in many states, this highly effective, noninvasive method for evaluation of these patients is not covered by most medical insurance in California. For many at-risk patients, the out-of-pocket payment for this test may be out of reach.

County looks into buying firetrucks
San Diego County supervisors Tuesday unanimously agreed to study a potentially $15 million to $50 million idea of buying up to 50 firetrucks that could be placed strategically around the county and used in disasters such as the recent firestorms.
The idea was proposed by Supervisors Ron Roberts and Bill Horn, who said they heard from several fire chiefs, including city of San Diego Chief Tracy Jarman, that hundreds of off-duty firefighters weren't able to help fight the October firestorms because there weren't enough firetrucks. Horn and Roberts hope the county might be able to tap state and federal funds for the purchase.
Jarman could not be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon. But city spokesman Maurice Luque said in a telephone interview that only 420 of the city's "900-plus" personnel were fighting fires at the height of the blazes because there were no firetrucks available in the city or unincorporated county.
One source Horn credited with telling him about the engine shortage was Carlsbad fire Chief Kevin Crawford. Crawford said by telephone Tuesday that he was told anecdotally by several fire chiefs, in cities and the backcountry, that they had firefighters sitting on the sideline because there weren't enough engines.
Meanwhile, supervisors said they supported looking into the firetruck idea because they wanted to weigh all ideas to improve fire protection in the wake of the 2003 and 2007 firestorms. Chief Administrative Officer Walt Ekard was given 90 days to investigate and report back to the board.
But despite the unanimous vote, the proposal still raised questions.
Supervisor Dianne Jacob, and a handful of fire chiefs who attended Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting, said they supported the firetruck idea as long as the supervisors supported a long-discussed plan to merge some rural fire agencies.
Proponents of that plan say it, and subsequent mergers of backcountry agencies, would improve fire protection by unifying command, training and communication, and by giving merged agencies more financial clout to buy equipment.
A week ago, a state agency that had worked on the merger plan for two years passed off the $13.7 million-a-year question of how to fund that seven-agency consolidation to supervisors - who are expected to consider it next year.
Asked after the meeting if the firetruck proposal could undercut the fire merger's funding questions, Jacob said, "You don't want to buy furniture before you buy a house. The house is the consolidation plan."
Supervisor Pam Slater-Price suggested that voters around the county may be eventually asked to foot the bill for the firetruck, fire merger and other firefighting improvement ideas.
Supervisor Greg Cox was the harshest critic.
"I can't imagine any fire chief not telling us to buy more fire engines," he said. "That's something, I think, that is pretty predictable. But whether that is the best investment, or whether fire engines should sit idly waiting for a big disaster and not put into service, are still questions in my mind."
Under the proposal, the county would buy up to 50 fire engines that would be housed at existing fire stations and other facilities in cities and the backcountry, and be under command of some undetermined regional entity.

Dr. Samuel Higley had a degree from Yale, and owned a copper mine. Coinage apparently continued after Higley's untimely death in a 1737 shipwreck, since a 1739-dated variety is known. The Higley family was one of the few coiners in the American colonies prior to the Revolutionary War. All Higley coppers are very rare and highly desirable, and authentication is mandatory since counterfeits and electrotypes are often deceptive.
The present example is boldly detailed for a Higley copper. Except for THE, the obverse legends are clear. The deer and hammers have pleasing definition, and the reverse legends are bold aside from the bottom of the 737 in the date. The surfaces are moderately granular, as Higleys are typically encountered, and the color alternates from golden-brown to ebony. A pair of old curved pinscratches reach the deer's antlers. The present piece was housed in a VF35 NGC holder for its San Francisco ANA Heritage auction appearance, and has since been conservatively assessed by PCGS. Listed on page 46 of the 2008 Guide Book.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 11/25/12
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says his side were "too soft" in Chelsea's penalty area following their goalless draw at Stamford Bridge. Rafa Benitez was unable to lead Chelsea to victory in his first fixture in charge, which saw Sergio Aguero go closest in a game of few chances. "I think we play very well but are missing a goal," Mancini said. "We had a lot of chances but were missing the last pass or shot. "When you are near the box you should be very strong, if you are soft you cannot score. "We dominated the first half, second half Chelsea did better, but we need to be strong, we were too soft. "Games here are always hard but today we played well while missing the last pass. "Last year we lost a good game, this year we took one point. I am not happy but I prefer this." Asked if it was a point gained or two dropped, Martinez replied: "Two dropped." His counterpart Rafa Benitez was roundly booed in his first game as interim Chelsea boss. Mancini admitted he had n...

Finally, Amazon launches Sydney datacentre
news After six months of rumours and the launch of several ancillary services down under, US cloud computing giant Amazon Web Services has finally announced the availability of locally-hosted cloud computing services from an Australian datacentre; with prices comparable to those seen overseas.
In a post on its corporate blog overnight, Amazon Web Services said it was time to expand its footprint again, with "a new region in Sydney, Australia". "AWS customers in Australia can now enjoy fast, low-latency access to the suite of AWS infrastructure services," the company wrote.

What does it cost?
Our sessions start at $165 + tax. Finished, printed art pieces, ready to display start at $85 + tax.
First we schedule a time for you to come by and meet us in person. At this time we will all talk about what exactly you're looking for, ideas we may have to provide for your needs, and the cost of the finished product you are wanting.
There is never an obligation to buy a session just for stopping by because we want you to get all the information you need to make your decision. If you do decide to buy there are also no obligations to buy the images after the session. So contact us and we will make sure we can do all you are wanting and make it relaxed and fun!
Can I get the digital rights?
Yes and no. Digital copies are a gift with purchase. We provide digital copies of purchased images. We will gift all the images from your session at an investment level of 100 credits which we spell out for you at our first meeting.
The gift of these copies keeps on giving as we also give you the right to reprint them at the lab of your choice for personal use. However, we retain the copyright to all images that we take, and our images may only be sold by our studio. We spell all this out for you at your private consultation prior to booking.
What are your sessions like?
We keep our sessions very laid back. Many times clients will tell us they felt no stress and had a great time unlike any other experience they have had. This is our goal. Families should feel as though they are just playing together, kids open up to us very quickly, and teens get a kick out of finding nooks and crannies that make their pictures unique from all the rest. We discuss all the possibilities in the consultation and everyone leaves with an understanding of what we are going for, and who we are, resulting in a low stress fun day.
Where are you located / Do you travel?
We are located wherever you want us to be! We have a small, in home studio, but most of our sessions are done on location be it family, baby, engagement, or bridal. We love to travel, so we have set our travel expenses to a minimum to accommodate location shoots. If our clients are willing, we use Skype for face to face communication so that our out-of-town-ers get all the same attention that our local clients do. So if you like what you see, don't hesitate to give us a call no matter where you are.
What are your hours?
We don't have clocked hours. Emily handles scheduling, and general questions. Tim handles the technical side, equipment, and payments. We invite you to call us up anytime 254-300-6007. That being said, we will never answer a call when we are with another client, in a session, or on a date ;). We will of course extend the same courtesy to you!
What's the next step?
We want to meet you! Give us a call and we will set up a time for you to stop by and talk face to face. This way you can ask all your questions, and make an informed, comfortable decision.
So call us!!! 254-300-6007 We look forward to talking with you soon!

It's amazing to reflect on our progression and how far we've come. Here we are 27 releases later with our first official record! It has almost been a year since we started to compile this project. Since day one we've known that we would get to this very point. The Time in Between captures genre-bending compositions from creative an entire year, this compilation delivers a timeless journey through future bass, boom bap, glitchy uptempo soulful melodies and then some. Soulection releases the Time in Between putting a time stamp on the unique musical epoch that is 2013. By serving up genre-vague and undefinable sounds to the people first, the label maintains and reinforces the relevance and need for this timeless sound. These specific artists are all Soulection affiliated and we feel that every track on here has a "timeless' feel to it. In fact, we feel that this record is one that you can play years and years down the line and still get that original feeling of when you first heard it. There tracks have no expiration date; styles that have no flow. This record was created and compiled to change your perspective on music and the future of where we are headed.

One of the few where you can't find a single boring song, just straight timeless masterpieces. Big Up!" -Paul Pre (Vast) "Time In Between is a perfect example why Soulection is the sound of the future!" -Sean Osborn/DJ SEANO (Sound Waves Radio, KPFK) "Time in Between strips away the need for genres and buzzwords and simply brings a special feeling throughout the whole release, something you've now come to expect from every Soulection release and radio show." -Tim Parker (You'll Soon Know/NTS Radio) "Produced by Manchester's Sivey, "Cause & Effect" is synth-riddled, with rolling drums, and a chopped and screwed jazzy vocal to give it that futuristic edge. If this is what the rest of the [Time In Between] compilation is going to sound like, bring it on!" -Joseph Patterson (MTV IGGY) "Soulection's selections are those which clearly need no corrections." -Moses Wiener (Live For The Funk) Teaser mixed by Paul Pre (Our favorite DJ) http://paulpre.de https://twitter.com/paulpre Artwork by 96 http://9uillaume6onte.com http://society6.com/9uillaume6onte Mastered by Haruto Comment by Sebastian Paul awesome 2014/12/08 18:40:18 +0000 Comment by ListenSoulDeep all the way at the end living single 2014/05/28 11:40:21 +0000 Comment by ListenSoulDeep got that Queen Latifah Living Single vibe now 2014/05/28 11:38:39 +0000 Comment by ListenSoulDeep Reminds me of Pharrell 2014/05/28 11:36:04 +0000 Comment by ListenSoulDeep Best part 2014/05/28 11:34:40 +0000 Comment by Mystee Yes! 2014/04/17 01:37:16 +0000 Comment by Simon dejaegere lekkrrr 2014/01/02 22:23:42 +0000 Comment by Mizz Lee Lee My GOD them bottoms dropped the whole break 2013/12/29 09:19:25 +0000 Comment by Malik Moss 1 Yes! 2013/10/09 20:13:51 +0000 Comment by C'bus x 2013/10/01 10:21:52 +0000 Comment by Adrienne Kimberley funnnnky. 2013/08/14 23:16:48 +0000 Comment by KwameSankara SOULECTION OR LAKIM PLS WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SONG TILL 0:43 2013/08/06 16:08:38 +0000 Comment by TONiC YOH!

BMW Modern Airhead Pix Needed
:clap I am planning on preparing an article for the BMW ON on the benefits of spending the 'new bike' fund on buying/building a "Modern Airhead" (i.e. rebuilt, restored, upgraded, etc) instead of blowing the wad on a brand-new middleweight. I just (almost) finished a pristine R100GSPD, upgraded to modern standards and components, and will refer to it in the article. I also plan a companion article that will likely run ont he MOA website, with particulars about my own Modern Airhead; the print article will speak in generalities about the issues that need to be addressed in building a Modern Airhead, and is intended to generate interest in these beloved and venerable machines.
However, I would like to have some high-resolution images of other Modern Airheads to include in the article. If you have a well-composed pix of your Modern Airhead, and would be willing to allow me to use it in the article, please send it to me, at:
Put "Modern Airhead" inthe subject line. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR NAME, so that photo-credit can be published with the image. Not all images will be used (that's up to the editor, as well as me), and any unused images will be deleted, in order to protect your intellectual property.
Sending the image to me constitutes your permission for me to use the image in the BMW MOA Owners News.
And, THANX! Let's keep the Modern Airhead alive!.............
can you give more detail on what you're looking for? what is your definition of a modern airhead? if mine is a daily rider does that make it a modern airhead?
I think he's looking for bikes that have had the original suspension repaced with parts off a new bike of some sort. That's about the only practical modernisation I can picture on an airhead. Nobody's making computerised engine management systems or fuel injection for them that I've heard of, although maybe there are folks out there who are clever enough to adapt systems from newer bikes to work on an airhead.
I'm with blake, bit more detail. I like where you're going with this. h
Totally Modern Airhead with GPS and Bead Rider.
I think what he's going for is an airhead that has a modern starter, electronic ignition that doesn't leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere, high watt alternator that also doesn't leave you stranded, modern suspension, gauges, heated goodies, auxiliary or HID lights--all the stuff people want these days.
Oh, and probably one that looks nice...which is why I'm not bothering to send in pics of mine :D
I guess mine won't make it either since they are all stock, unless a Corbin seat qualifies, and of course my luggage. How about a free plug for Caribou luggage for airheads:wink:
Bgoodsoil nailed it - from my understanding of Roger's original post.
I'd clarify his term 'modern airhead' to mean an airhead with upgrades that brings it closer to todays bikes: brakes, tires, suspension, power, ignition, electrical, lighting, etc.
I think the G/S and GS crowd get into this deeper than the rest with larger brake discs, four or six piston calipers, 400 or 800 watt alternators, electronic ignitions with hall sensor at the crankshaft, twenty more horsepower, Ohlins or other after market shocks, lacing in different rims and on and on.
Why reinvent the wheel? Just send 'em over here and they can read tons of good stuff.
I'm curious what sort of responses this thread will get. It's such a broad question - I'd possibly have worded it differently... something like "show me your airhead upgrades". But there are so many different airheads from 1970-95, variations and models. And most of them have already been 'threaded'.
Let's help out and link different threads for his perusal. He could then contact individual posters for more data or permission or whatever.
Not much you can do to an airhead that really shows...
upgrade the shock. Different exhaust maybe.
All the cool stuff goes on the inside..:evil
If you are interested in shots of a particular bike. Just ask..
I'm currently building what you are looking for actually. I'm doing a ground up resto on my R90 but with all modern electronics. Got a brand new harness, 450w charging system, new modern started, electronic ignition, LED tail light and turn signals etc. Also, the rear shocks will be new Ohlins and the front springs will be progressive. So I think that is about as modern as you can get on this bike without swapping the gauges for a modern R bikes...which I've HIGHLY considered and will take suggestions/advice towards that in my thread below :D
The whole idea of me restoring my r90 was if BMW remade an old model today, what would it be like. Granted, this resto wont be together until march and I'll be riding it and slapping more parts on it through the year.
Here's the thread in progress:

Caritas Philippines leader calls typhoon devastation 'unimaginable'
The devastation brought on by Super Typhoon Haiyan is on a scale so big it is "unimaginable," said Jesuit Fr. Edwin Gariguez, head of Caritas in the Philippines.
"This is beyond our capacity," Gariguez told Catholic News Service by phone from Cebu province Wednesday. "That's the reason why we have our Caritas network with us now."

2 tablespoons

1 pound
kielbasa sausage, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 pound
starchy potatoes (such as Idaho), cut into 1/2-inch dice

2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon
caraway seeds
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Not something i'll make all the time. Kinda blah compared to some of the stuff my boyfriend and I cook. I liked it, He didn't. Guess its all in your own personal taste
This recipe has great potential. Just dump the carrots and caraway and use a diced green or red pepper in their place. Top it with an egg and some salsa and you have a tasty dish.

Different, but not bad. Ended up cooking longer to get carrots and all done. We topped ours with a spoonful of sour cream for an extra touch. Not a "wow" recipe, but a good recipe.
This was an awesome hash, but after making the sauce and tasting it, we decided not to add it. The only thing I added was a little ground pepper. Even my kids loved it.

Menomonee Falls - Michael McDonald has declared his candidacy and plans to add three more years to his past 23 serving as a trustee on the Village Board.
McDonald, 62, was first elected to the board in 1990 and has served on the Plan Commission for the last 20 years. McDonald, who owns Express Dry Cleaning and Laundry in Menomonee Falls, said his goal when he was first elected was to provide a high quality, low density development mentality. He said this has led to the atmosphere and quality of life in Menomonee Falls.
"We've been able to incorporate a lot of dynamic development, which has been a contributing factor of Kohl's Corp. deciding to stay in Menomonee Falls," McDonald said.
Kohl's recently decided to remain in Menomonee Falls and build a corporate campus in the Woodland Prime Office Park.
"Being able to provide for that is extremely rewarding and I'm very proud of that," McDonald said.
His experience on the board, he said, will go a long way in continuing development in the tax incremental finance districts throughout the village, as well as development outside of the TIF districts. Helping new businesses and people come into the Menomonee Falls community, while respecting those who have lived in Falls a long time, is a balance McDonald said he will work to continue.
Trustees serve three-year terms and receive $5,500 annually. The spring election is slated for April 2. If a primary is necessary, it will be Feb. 19.

Purchased by Partners in Wellness through a state grant, the new mobile digital mammography unit transmits mammography images from rural Louisiana parishes to the Cancer Center in Shreveport. LARHIX uses a health information exchange technology from Carefx Corp. called Fusionfx, which aggregates patient information across existing systems, departments and facilities and offers clinicians single, clinically relevant views of patient information. LARHIX is working with Partners in Wellness to bring these diagnostic services to rural areas where mammography is either unavailable or requires extensive travel.
The pilot project begins this month at Union General Hospital and then Christus Coushatta Hospital in Coushatta Parish.

Palace EntertainmentRead MoreAt Boomers!, thrill-seeking families and fun-enabling friends can attack a variety of appealing attractions, including mini golf, batting cages, bumper boats, and the button-mashing joys housed inside the exhilarating game room. The Vista location entertains families of sharpshooters with a blacklight-illuminated laser-tag arena before little ones climb and crawl through the Kidopolis play area. The El Cajon and San Diego locations let rivals celebrate the spirit of competition as they fly past each other in speedy go-karts or have a snail-paced Ferris wheel race at the kid's county fair. Unlimited pass holders at the El Cajon location can also scale the 32-foot-tall climbing wall, which, like America, enables citizens to climb to the top via myriad routes.1500 W 7th St.Upland, CA US

Behind every wall in every house, there are spiders—spiders with families, communities, and lives of their own. They hunt, spin webs, argue with their parents, avoid bathtubs, and occasionally take pleasure in spooking the humans (and live to tell the tale). For the most part, days are routine; however, for young Bateman, everything changes when he slays the sinister General Raimi, leader of the powerful and vicious Spider Army.
Fearing for his life, Bateman flees the confines of The Wall. He's always dreamed of exploring the house and garden, but not as a lone fugitive. Danger looms everywhere, as does the little girl of the house. Unlike the rest of the family she's not in the least bit scared of spiders, and has enjoyed tormenting and torturing the little critters for years. That's why they call her "The She-Devil"—she's every bug's worst nightmare.
If Bateman is ever to return to the comfort of his family and friends, he must face the Spider Army's fury and the vengeful General Raimi II. With the thrilling and wickedly funny adventures of Bateman and his unlikely allies, you'll discover what it means to be home and what it takes to be a hero. And you'll never look at your average arachnid in the same way again.

I know the ending's a little rushed, but it was for DigimonDrabbles on LJ and had to be under 300 words.
Yutaka didn't know why, but Tommy had changed dramatically over the past few days. Gone was the little brat who depended on their parents for everything. Now Tommy was a new boy, helping out around the house, trying to figure out his homework on his own before asking for help, and he never ever whined any more.
Maybe it had to do with Tommy's new friends. A few days ago, he started hanging out with some older kids, and Yutaka decided the change in his brother was due to their influence.
"I met them on the train," Tommy explained, and that sufficed for their parents, but Yutaka wanted to know more. There had to be more to the story then that simple phrase said. So one day, when Tommy went to the park to visit them, Yutaka told his parents he was going out, and followed him.
He was careful not to let on that he was there, walking a ways behind him and taking alternate routes when he could.
Finally he was at the park. Tommy had already found his friends, and they were moving to a wooded area. Quickly, Yutaka hid in the bushes. From there he could hear the kids talking.
"--weird to be back in our world already," the girl said. "And to be living an ordinary life; I still haven't gotten used to being just Zoe again." The others nodded in agreement.
"It's lonely without having Kumamon with me," Tommy said. Kumamon? What was that?
The stories the children told were wild. Stories of another world filled with fantastic beasts, friends and foes alike. And Tommy, little baby Tommy who was so dependent, had stood on his own and helped to save it.
Yutaka couldn't help but feel a swell of pride.

Yesterday, April 29th 2011, Prince William and Catherine Middleton (or Duchess Catherine of Cambridge as she is called now) tied the knot in London's Westminster Abbey.
We knew this was coming, we knew that they were serving 10,000 canapes, we knew a reception of 650 guests was taking place in Buckingham palace. What we didn't know for sure was what canapes they would be serving the Royals and Dignitaries of Europe. According to the couple's website, they served a mixture of conventional English staples such as miniature Yorkshire pudding with roast fillet of beef and horseradish mousse and highlighting local and seasonal products like asparagus and Scottish salmon. If you are getting married soon, you may want to take a look at the list to get some ideas for your own celebration.

I'm ready for some Reds Baseball,
I'm ready for some Reds Baseball,
I was wondering if they were going to have Reds Rewind this winter. I thought they might feature games from 2010. There were two others I think they should have had. One was that Dodgers game in LA that Votto had that great AB. I thought that was a huge game too as I think it clinched a winning west coast road trip. Also thought they should have included that Giants game on the same road trip. That was the game the Reds had a big lead then blew it but came back to win in extra innings. Entertaining game that showed the comeback ability of that team.
Reds Fan Since 1971
Great way to get pumped for the season. My fiance always asks "why do we have baseball games from july, august, and september saved on the DVR still?". I have a few of these games recorded and want to somehow get them on DVD.
Don't ask questions woman! There is a reason for everything when we are talking about the Reds!
2009 Attendance Record: 3-5 2010 Attendance Record: 2-9
2011 Attendance Record: 3-4 2012 Attendance Record: 3-4
2013 Attendance Record: 5-2 2014 Attendance Record: 3-1
I know they lost (and I am sure that is why it is not being shown) 1-0 in 11 innings, but I'd love to see...
July 10. At Phillies. Travis Wood pitches a 1-hitter thru 9 innings. 8K and 0BB. Dueling against Roy Halliday. Had a perfect game as they entered the 9th inning. Only 10 days after his MLB debut. Man, my heart was pounding. I was watching a perfect game and my favorite team had a shot. And a young unknown (by us sure, but not most fans of the game) had a chance for history. The kind of stuff that is remembered for many years in REDS country.
Sure it sucked when Carlos Ruiz led off the 9th with a double to snap it. But that was exciting stuff. Probably the 2nd most intense experience in 2010 for this fan (behind Bruce's HR). I'd like to see those 5th-6th-7th-8th-(even the)9th innings again.
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
I'll definitely be recording the Jay Bruce clincher game for the archives. The greatest sporting moment I have ever attended.
I'm looking forward to watching the Volquez game. I was at the beach and missing that game, the only one of those five that I didn't see. I'll be sure to DVR the Bruce walk-off just so I'll always have it. I'll probably do the same with Chapman's debut.
I miss Adam Dunn.
I wish they would just put out a dvd of in depth highlights from the entire 2010 season. I've got the Bruce walkoff and the entire celebration after still on my dvr and I really don't want to get rid of it. Ever.
I just got a DVD with the '75, '76, and '90 World Series games on it. I know what I'll be doing this weekend...
Edit: I was a little disappointed. I thought the DVD had the full games on it...they were highlight films made in 1991 with Joe Garigiola narrating. Still very cool to watch, so it gave me my Reds fix for now, but I'll be jonesing again soon. I think I'm getting Extra Innings for an anniversary gift next month. ;-)

Just a reminder - the Reds Rewind games on FSO starts tonight at 7:00. Tonight is the June 6th game at the Nationals. Here's the boxscore from that game:
I miss Adam Dunn.
Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!
If anyone has the ability to create a DVD of the Bruce HR game, I'd appreciate a PM
I remember this game. Cordero comes in with a 2 run lead, gives up 2, and gets the win. Baseball can be a funny game.

During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at bats a season. That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball. ~Mickey Mantle, 1970
Anyone else not getting tonight's Reds Rewind game? My guide says MLB Baseball but I'm getting M-1 Fighting.

WarioWare: Did It Myself - The Making of Mewtroid II
By DrRandle 2 Comments
WarioWare: DIY is a great way to find out how much you know about game development. After browsing the YouTubes and seeing some of the bi-weekly "contest" winners, that fact can become quite apparent. Now granted, programming and me go together about as well as two things that don't go well together, but I have spent a lot of time studying game design specifically. And I don't just mean playing games and going "oh okay, that's fun," I mean I've taken courses on it in my "spare time." Turns out those don't really grant credits to someone going for a Creative Writing major.
In any case, I'm not trying to be all Self-inflated Ego Guy (Ok, maybe a little. Let me have this), but I think the few games I've been working on in DIY can back up some of my talk. Regardless of whether or not it does, I did want to kind of chronicle my game creating experiences now and again, to maybe get some pointers, and maybe teach someone else how to make quality WarioWare games. I'm here to share, and if anybody else would like in on some of this WarioWare DIY community action, let's start trading. My friend code is 2966-1083-9598; let's do this!
I wish I could actually show my progress here, but I don't have any capturing equipment and I'm not going to be that guy on YouTube who holds his cell-phone camera up to the DS and hopes for the best. So let's just use our imaginations!
When charged with the task of entering the "creatures" contest, I remembered that Mewtroid was one of my favorite WarioWare Twisted mini-games, and that I would pay homage to it with a "sequel." Below you will find footage of the original WarioWare: Twisted title Mewtroid:
It's more fun than it looks thanks to the tilting mechanic, but in any case, you can see the appeal right? Adorable kitten who shoots things = instant gold. Knowing that I couldn't replicate the experience directly without the aid of on-screen directional buttons (something I'm not a fan of), I decided create a different game. However, I couldn't possibly resist that cute animation, so I re-created it as best as I could. Then I gave the cat one enemy to fire upon: The Father Brain. So now I had an objective, and a few art ideas (put a top-hat and mustache on Mother Brain = Father Brain), but I still needed an actual game-play mechanic.
I decided to try my hand at the classic WarioWare gameplay of waiting for a bar to fill up to press A (or tap, if you will). There would be an on-screen bar that would fill up and if the player hit the on-screen "Fire!" button, then all would be well. With that idea, I began drawing up the rough conceptual art and then put my game into motion.
Being that this was my 3rd game, I'd learned my way around the tools. However, there's one thing I still never got the hang of: cycling animations. Before Mewtroid II, I had been working on a Micro-game that involved a clown juggling some balls, and you would have to guess which hand the green one ended up in (similar to the Knife Guy mini-game in Mario RPG). I never did figure out how to get the animations to cycle back and forth between each other without creating a solid AI that always ended the same. There's no fun in games that end up like that, I believe, so I eventually had to scrap the whole project. In Mewtroid II, I ran into a similar issue when I tried cycling animations of the bar filling up. I couldn't make the animations and the programming work together to give me what I needed, which is a win condition when the bar is full and the player presses the "Fire!" button. I knew I had to scrap it, and thought that the whole game was over.
Fortunately a new trick came into mind: Overlap. I created a new power-bar, one that was just all red with a green spot on the top. I then created a second sprite that was just a white line that would travel up and down the bar. If it was hovering over that green area, I used the Overlap command to turn a switch on for as long as it was there. If the player presses the fire button while the reticule is hovering over the green, then it turns the "Fire!" button's switch ON, which won the game. It took some tinkering to get the animations on the reticule and power bar lined up, but it worked, and now I think I may actually have a better game for it.
In Mewtroid II, the game starts with the cat in a laying position, who at the 1-4 time mark rolls on to his side and exposes his weapon. If timed properly, this can happen as soon as he turns over, otherwise he is stuck laying on his side and waiting for you to time the tap correctly. Meanwhile, Father Brain approaches from the right side, pipe in maw, to destroy you. If you fail to fire by the end, he will reach you and the game will be over. This made Time the only way you could fail the game, which wasn't bad at first. But then I gave the game to my roommate to test out, and he discovered a problem: players could just spam the fire button until it went into the green and they would win every time. Well that just removes the skill portion of a timing-based Micro-game completely! I devised a new trick. For every shot the player attempts to fire while the reticule is in the red, there will be an audio queue, the slashing sound effect, that will warn them that they're not doing it right. If they misfire 4 times, the gun explodes and the player loses. Now there's a penalty for spamming, the game is just a little more complex, and better in the long run.
I had some issues getting the animations working, namely trying to find a convincing "Hyper Beam." What I originally went for ended up looking like the cat (Seamus, by the way) was just hosing off the Father Brain. What I eventually did is just created a singular, large beam attack that flies form the cannon and off screen. Overall it looks good (turning the Father Brain's upper torso into a bouncing fish-bone for no reason), unless the player is successful in pulling off the first possible shot, in which case the angle seems a bit off. In the end, however, I would call it a success. (It also allowed me to free up a few more animation cells, which I used elsewhere in the project.)
There's not a real random factor to the game, but there is an increasingly difficult skill-factor, which does exactly what I wanted to have in the first place. I had to rework some mechanics and some animations, but in the end I think it all came out perfectly.
And on one last note about the music: I'm not at all a competent composer. Which sucks, because I really like music, and I've been toying with it, trying to self-learn compositions, or at least figure out what sounds "good." What I ended up doing for this was borrowing a frame out of 9-Volt's Metroid remix. I replaced the first track with cat sounds and doubled the notes, giving it a more fast-paced feeling. I also toggled a couple settings on the other layers to switch things up, and I think it came out fairly well.
Please hit me up with your friend codes so we can start trading games. If I'm only delusional and not making good games, I want to know so i can start learning how to make them better. I know for most people this thing might be a fun little gadget, but for me, I'm trying to take it like a serious project. 1 Game a week is my goal. So far I've got three total games (and all of the tutorial stuff) under my belt, and I think I'm running strong.
Also let me know what you think of this article. Is this kind of "pseudo-developer diary-ish thing" a segment I should continue updating? Let me know if there's some different info I could give to help you out, or if this is even remotely helpful at all. Leave feedback below and let's get something done, together.
As always you can follow my sparse but informative(?) posts on Twitter: @DocRandle
