text: Mark Turgeon's insistence on inside-out principles bordered on stubborn last season, until the Maryland basketball team hit rock bottom and something finally clicked. The Terrapins' fans left Comcast Center disappointed on Feb. 10, 2013, after a double-digit loss to Virginia further crushed their team's NCAA tournament chances. Maryland still had seven more regular season games remaining, but the letdown caused some serious introspection from Turgeon.

You may note there's only two games on the list today, and you are probably either sad or finally glad it's a reasonable amount to read in a sitting. The reason for this is my wife and I are currently starting an etsy shop to sell all the perler crap we make (if you want to see more stuff we've made, check out the archives of this blog; there's tons). We will alsob e selling them at a local convention in May, so we've been both making inventory as well as designing a logo, etc. It's been hectic, and as such reviews are going to have to take a slight break.
I also write novels and am trying to sell my tenth and eleventh as well as write my twelfth, all while managing a full-time graveyard shift, so it's been pretty busy. But expect reviews back in full force once stuff calms down a bit.
Regardless, today is about Dragon Warrior (or Dragon Quest, in Japan). So let's put on some Dragon Warrior tunes and get kicking!
Dragon Warrior
A little background
Heh, a "little" background. Right.
In Japan in 1986, Enix invented a genre that would become a staple of Japanese game design. Yuji Horii, who admitted to being a fan of Western RPGs around that time such as Ultima and Wizardry, decided to try his hand at the whole thing with a new way to approach the RPG. Pairing up with the now-legendary Akira Toriyama (manga artist responsible for Dragon Ball as well as the art for Chrono Trigger), they made a fantasy game in the styling of medieval Europe, a popular time period for most RPGs in general (tabletop or otherwise). A simple plot was established: slay the dragon, save the kingdom, and you were thrust into a world full of magic, battles and slimes.
The game sold incredibly in Japan (the series still out-sells Final Fantasy over there, and when a new Dragon Quest game comes out it's practically a national holiday), but floundered in the States, despite having improvements like a battery to save your game (how did they not have this in Japan?!). The game is well known because Nintendo, suddenly burdened with thousands of copies of this game that nobody wanted, decided to hand it out free with every subscription to Nintendo Power magazine. Subscriptions went up, people got Dragon Warrior, and the JRPG craze was born.
The influence of Dragon Warrior/Quest cannot be understated. It single-handedly laid the groundwork for what would become Japan's most iconic genre: the JRPG. Turn based battles with plenty of grinding, experience, and magic are what Japan seems to be known for now, and resulted in some of the best games ever released. Even the famous Final Fantasy series, which is considerably more popular over here than Dragon Quest, only exists because Square, close to bankruptcy , decided to "borrow" and improve on the incredibly successful Dragon Warrior format.
While the battle of whether Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy reigns supreme as the best JRPG series of all time is still ongoing, the truth will never change: Enix did it first. And they made history.
But is Dragon Warrior still any good? Um...
First impressions last forever
Wow, was this game really this...Old English heavy? I guess it was, but the game is really seeped in it. It's like when I replayed Final Fantasy IV and was amazed at how awful the translation was. Anyway...
Oh yeah, you have to use a command for everything. Can't just walk down a stairs, have to Menu-->Stairs. Can't just talk to the guy, have to Menu-->Talk. Sadly, you still can't "Open" the king.
Also, a Slime Draws Near! Command? So classic.
But as I played further...
When I said this game was a framework from which all future JRPGs were molded, I meant it. It's just a framework. This game is as bare bones as you get: go outside, kill hundreds of monsters for money and minor XP, buy the next sword. Kill the next level of monsters slightly farther away. Get the next best sword. Cross the bridge. Die. Grind from the weaker monsters until you get a spell. Cross the bridge. Die again. Grind more. Be thankful for the evolution of JRPGs.
Don't get me wrong, it's still classic. I especially love the text narration during the battles (which Mother/Earthbound copied and made marvelous), which has since become iconic to the series. I also like the music (to a point) and think the dated graphics are charming. It's just ans atrocious grindfest, and doesn't stop being an atrocious grindfest all the way up until the end.
So what's the conclusion?
Dragon Warrior might be one of the most important games ever made, but it isn't all that great to play currently. While I still think everybody should have it in their collection (and copies are all over the place), as far as a game worth playing today it kind of comes up a little short. It's still charming and has some great design, but overall you're probably better off playing the sequels.
Don't get cheated; copies are under $5, and again: they're everywhere.
Dragon Warrior II
A little background
After the resounding success of Dragon Quest in Japan, a sequel was inevitable, and came out in January of 1987 over there, less than a year after the first game. Here in the states, however, we gave the first game such a lukewarm reception we didn't see this sequel until September of 1990 (I'm honestly surprised they brought it and the other two games past it over at all, considering Square didn't bring Final Fantasy II or III over). It's worth pointing out this is just a mere year before Final Fantasy II/IV would smash player's expectations on the SNES, meaning this and the other two Dragon Warrior games to follow were criminally overlooked (and became rare collector's items).
Dragon Warrior II was consistent to the first game, but with a few rather dramatic changes. Gone was just a single character fighting single enemies: you now had a party of three and could battle monster groups. The story was a bit more fleshed out, as were the graphics, though the nice battle backdrops were replaced with just black space (not an improvement). But that's best left for the review.
First impressions last forever
This game still has the whole "open a menu to do anything" tedium, and at first glance it looks a lot like its predecessor. However, after just a little while I noticed the dramatic differences, including the better inventory system, combat, and (of course) better characters (since you get three now!)
But as I played further...
Unlike the first Dragon Warrior, which hasn't aged gracefully, Dragon Warrior II is surprisingly solid. While you'll still do a good deal of grinding, the story is better, the gameplay (especially battles) is faster, and the overall experience is much more enjoyable. When I think of 8-Bit JRPGs, I usually think of this game, Dragon Warrior IV, and Final Fantasy. All have held up very well today, but I still give the edge to the Dragon Warrior games.
This game also has a ton more enemies than the first game, all just as charming and rich with personality as the rest of the series. It's still a lot of fun, while not having jumped off the deep end into that "let's waste your time on useless story stuff instead of gameplay" thing that creeps into modern JRPG.
So what's the conclusion?
Dragon Warrior II is exactly how a sequel should be: bigger, better, and more badass. With faster battles, more characters, a better story (even though it's still kind of nonexistent), charming graphics, and the same great music, Dragon Warrior II is an essential NES JRPG. While you could argue that III and IV are technically better, I still think it (and it's two NES sequels) all stand up as solid to this day.
That's spoilers for later reviews, but you'll live. Unfortunately, the prices are only going to go up from here, with Dragon Warrior II usually running around $20-25 depending on quality.

Berkman fellow Wendy Seltzer leads the Chilling Effects Clearinghouse "Chilling Effects" refers to the deterrent effect of legal threats or posturing, largely cease and desist letters independent of litigation, on lawful conduct. The Chilling Effects clearinghouse will catalogue cease and desist notices and present analyses of their claims to help recipients resist the chilling of legitimate activities (as well as understand when their activities are unlawful). The project's core, this database of letters and FAQ-style analyses is supplemented by legal backgrounders, news items, and pointers to statutes and caselaw. Periodic "weather reports" will sum up the legal climate for online activity.
The project invites recipients and senders of cease and desist notices to send them to a central point for analysis, and to browse the website for background information and explanation of the laws they are charged with violating or enforcing. Clinical law students will prepare issue-spotting analyses of the letters in the question-and-answer style of FAQs, which we will post alongside the letters in an online database. The site aims to educate C&D recipients about their legal rights. Site visitors may search the database by subject area or keyword.
"The Chilling Effects Clearinghouse collects and analyzes legal complaints about online activity, helping Internet users to know their rights and understand the law. Chilling Effects welcomes submission of letters from individuals and from Internet service providers and hosts. These submissions enable us to study the prevalence of legal threats and allow Internet users to see the source of content removals.
Chilling Effects aims to support lawful online activity against the chill of unwarranted legal threats. We are excited about the new opportunities the Internet offers individuals to express their views, parody politicians, celebrate favorite stars, or criticize businesses, but concerned that not everyone feels the same way. Study to date suggests that cease and desist letters often silence Internet users, whether or not their claims have legal merit. The Chilling Effects project seeks to document that "chill" and inform C&D recipients of their legal rights in response."

void cxInWdgtDisable(const char *portName)
subroutine cxInWdgtDisable(portName) character *(*) portName
- portName
- Name of the parameter port whose widget will be disabled.
This routine and its companion, cxInWdgtEnable(3E), can be used to make the appearance of module control panels context sensitive.
Advanced module writers occasionally create their own widget hierarchies using cxXtAreaInitialize() and cxXtAreaAttach(). Calling cxInWdgtDisable on the parameter associated with such a hierarchy will have no effect since the IRIS Explorer UI widget is unrelated (in a parent-child sense) to the user-created widget hierarchy.
It is an error to pass the function a portName that is not a parameter port with a widget.Some widgets, notably dials, have a very subtle gray-out effect. It is thus hard to notice that such widgets have been disabled.
Individual components of widgets can not be disabled (items in an option menu, for instance).
A bug can occur when the user is manipulating a widget while a module is disabling it. This bug has been observed in pushbuttons. The result is that the lighting effect that makes a button look pushed in is reversed. The state of the buttons lighting model remains reversed until the button is pushed again.
Though disabling a widget keeps the user from sending new data values to a module parameter through the disabled widget, nothing keeps the user from sending new values down to a parameter from an upstream widget that is wired into a parameter whose widget has been disabled.cxInWdgtEnable(3E)

If you know The Lady GM, you know I am a HUGE fan of Miami Marlin's skipper Ozzie Guillen.
I'm still in mourning over his ousting from my beloved White Sox, but my adoration for him lives strong.
He has been my boo since his South Side playing days in a Chicago White Sox uniform (I used to go to the ball park for $1 on Ladies Day), and years later when he became manager, it sealed my loyalty to the team.
I'm not going to be rooting for the Marlins, but I will be following Ozzie's progress, and listening to his pressers (LOVE his broken English), and reading articles about him.
No other manager in all of sports entertains me like this man.
Happy Birthday, Oswaldo José "Ozzie" Guillén Barrios.
Look for me when you come to Cali. Let's do lunch!

I really like this vid because it is saying that in our mind we can escape the world that we live in today, with all the war and prejudice.
Poor guy. He only had one eye, and lived in a cell all strapped up. I liked the idea. If I was locked up, I'd kick the wall down with my super strength then fly onto a boat and sail to France. We always have those kind of daydreams. The train bit was almost identical to a scene in the League Of Gentlemen, which I'm thinking you might possibly have seen
I really loved this flash, from the start to the end. The music made me forget the real world and just pay attention to what was happening with that guy, who had enough to make me cheer for him.
The ending, I`m not sure why, was really sad for me. I don`t know if it`s because of everything is happening with me this year, but really made me cry. I`m writting this with tears in my face... Keep the good work!
Who knows?
Maybe we're all just in a crazy sedated dream! Good job, and cool theme!
Good sync to the music, made the movie.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) - The New Orleans Pelicans say 7-foot center Jeff Withey has signed his rookie contract.
Withey was drafted by Portland in the second round of the draft, 39th overall, and then traded to New Orleans as part of a three-team deal that also sent guard Tyreke Evans from Sacramento to the Pelicans, while New Orleans dealt center Robin Lopez to Portland and Greivis Vasquez to the Kings.
Withey played four years at Kansas, setting the all-time Big 12 mark for blocked shots with 312. He also was the conference's defensive player of the year the past two seasons.

I'm a goofball, who's sarcastic, and pretty much a big dork. So, I absolutly need someone with a good sense of humor who knows how to have fun.

The Richard Sherman suspension is taking turns left and right. First the Seahawks' star cornerback denied taking Adderall, despite a report saying that his failed test stemmed from taking the prescription drug. Then, a report came out from Mike Garafolo of the USA Today that said Sherman accidentally drank from a bottle that his teammate had poured crushed Adderall into. Now, Sherman is denying the truth of the USA Today report, according to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR. Crabtree tweeted that Sherman texted that the report is "totally false" and said, "It was be resolved in time and I have never taken anything." Okay then. So the report has gone from Adderall to no Adderall to crushed Adderall in a drink, back to no Adderall. The Adderall defense comes from a long line of recent similar excuses from NFL players. On Monday alone, Jermaine Cunningham and Eric Wright were both suspended taking Adderall not prescribed by a doctor. Since the NFL does not release what triggered a failed test, "Adderall" could be used as a cover up for PEDs that would tarnish a players' reputation more like steroids or HGH.

Advice & Support
Women who have a heart valve disease and want to become pregnant have some special
considerations. A valve disease may increase the risk
to the mother and the developing baby (fetus). Treatment of a valve disease might have to change during a pregnancy.
How much a heart valve disease increases risks during pregnancy depends on the type of valve disease and how bad it is.
If you have a heart valve disease and are considering pregnancy, talk with your doctors. You can get more
information about your individual risk factors and treatment needs before and after pregnancy.
Heart valve problems that may increase the risk of problems during pregnancy include:1
If you have a mild or moderate form of valve disease, and if your heart is pumping blood normally, you can likely have a normal pregnancy with careful medical supervision. Simple practices such as getting plenty of bed rest and avoiding
lying on your back can play important roles in successfully managing your
pregnancy. You might also take medicines during pregnancy.
If you have more severe valve disease with symptoms, you have a higher risk of problems during pregnancy. Your doctors may suggest that you consider surgery before you get pregnant. This might include a valve replacement surgery or a balloon valvotomy, depending on what type of valve problem you have.
If you already have a replaced valve and take warfarin, talk with your doctor before you get pregnant about your medicine options. You cannot take warfarin while you are pregnant. If you get pregnant, you will work with your doctor to choose
an anticoagulant (such as heparin) that is safe for you to use during
If you are thinking about having a heart valve replaced before you get pregnant, you will have a choice of the type of heart valve you will get. The heart valve type you choose may depend on whether you plan to get pregnant in the future.
Treatments for a valve problem during pregnancy depend on the type of valve problem and how bad it is.
Medicine choices might include medicines that flush excess fluid out of the body
(diuretics) and medicines to relax and expand the blood vessels.
A procedure that widens a heart valve might be done during pregnancy if the woman develops symptoms. This procedure, called a balloon valvuloplasty or valvotomy, is done for diseases that cause a heart valve to narrow (aortic valve stenosis and mitral valve stenosis). After the woman delivers, she may then have valve replacement surgery.1

Linux TwinView - Maximize uses both monitors

Linux TwinView - Maximize uses both monitors
After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 from Ubuntu 9.10, the window manager (compiz) does not treat my 2 displays as it did with 9.10. Now windows maximize across both screens, they do not snap to the screen boundary, my lower task bar (where apps get minimized to) extends across both monitors without appearing: by that I mean I dont see it on the 2nd monitor, but I can not resize a window into the area that it would take up on the 2nd monitor.
The alt+tab switcher and all windows that launch in the center of the screen are split across the monitors.
I have my 2 screens in both nvidia-xconfig and CCSM defined as: 0,0+0+0 and 0,1920+0+0
I have submitted a bug to Ubuntu's Launchpad tracker, it has been accepted and marked as an nVidia driver defect:
Nothing has happened on it. I am posting here in hopes that someone can either instruct me how to change my setup or takes it as an actual bug in the drivers.
Thank you!

John Updike's Alter-Ego, Again
11:00 PM, Dec 13, 1998 • By MARGARET BOERNER
Word after word, line after line, paragraph after paragraph, John Updike writes a seductively perfect prose. He seems as well never to have suffered writer's block. We have over fifty books from the man, delivered over forty years: a cornucopia of stories, novels, novellas, poems, essays, and book reviews. Updike must be the only American writer ever to combine such grace with such output, and he is easily the best American writer now alive.
Born in 1932, Updike sold his first story to the New Yorker in 1954, the same year he finished college at Harvard. Though he intended to be a cartoonist (and attended the Ruskin School at Oxford), he returned to the United States and became instead a staff writer for the New Yorker. But after two years he retired to New England -- where he has been writing, largely about the suburbs and small-town America, ever since.
The brilliant Rabbit, Run (1961) was published when he was only twenty-nine and marked him as a major American writer. Indeed, in his forties, Updike was told by some critics that he was a sure bet to win the Nobel Prize because he had created a character, "which no one does these days." The character is Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a small-town, lower-middle-class Pennsylvanian, who selfishly but gloriously believes "there's something out there that wants me to find it." Updike followed Rabbit through three more novels, written at ten-year intervals as the character grew older but hardly wiser: Rabbit Redux (1971), Rabbit Is Rich (1981), and Rabbit at Rest (1990) -- the last two both receiving the Pulitzer Prize.
Updike often revisits his characters. Over the years, for example, he traced the marital infidelities of the middle-class Richard and Joan Maples through a series of stories collected in the 1979 Too Far to Go. A frequent concern of Updike's is infidelity resulting from a deep yearning not to close off possibility; it was the theme of the bestselling Couples in 1968 and The Witches of Eastwick in 1984.
But Henry Bech -- a character that with his latest collection, Bech at Bay, Updike has now visited for the third time -- is unmarried and faces more problems with creativity than fidelity. Henry Bech was first seen in a 1966 story, "The Bulgarian Poetess." A much-anthologized account of an American writer's literary passion behind the Iron Curtain, it was written after Updike had received the National Book Award for The Centaur, been elected a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters, and lectured in an American-Soviet cultural exchange program.
Updike collected his first batch of stories about his writing alter-ego in 1970 with Bech, and returned to his character in 1982, winning his second Time magazine cover with Bech Is Back. Updike has insisted that Bech is a writer as "different" from himself as he "could make him and still connect with him." Thus, where Updike is a suburban, married father, Bech is an urban bachelor, ten years older than his creator. Where Updike is prolific, Bech is blocked. Where Updike is an all-American Protestant, Bech is an all-American Jew.
Not everyone finds the difference convincing. The novelist Cynthia Ozick once complained that Bech's Jewishness consists of being called Jewish by Updike, with a few Yiddish words thrown in. But, in fact, Updike's intent is not to convey the Jewish immigrant and religious experience. What he seems to be looking for in his secular, assimilated Jewish-American writer is a character with which to express the way in which many Americans feel themselves to be something-Americans: slightly hyphenated people who stand both entirely inside the culture and just a little bit outside -- which is not a bad definition of the job of a novelist. "More fervently than he was a Jew," we discover, "Bech was a writer, a literary man." Updike's Jewish novelist is the manifestation of a writer's sense of being inside/outside the social world he observes.
If, however, Bech really is as unlike Updike as Updike can still "connect with," then he can't connect a very long way. Updike's politics, like his character's, are unclear but certainly not radical (a liberal critic once sniffed that the only federal program Updike seems to support is the U.S. Mail). Bech is a middle-class writer from a poorish background. So is Updike. Bech is a middle-aged, cultivated white American male with an exquisite ear and eye for the way other people speak and behave. So is Updike. The difference is not that great.

Selma teacher still paid despite charges
A Selma High School teacher remains on the payroll despite being arrested months ago on charges of having sexual contact with students.
The Selma Times-Journal ( http://bit.ly/12oxZzP) reported that LaTanglia Williams, 36, is on paid administrative leave from her job at the school.
City school superintendent Gerald Shirley said the school board hasn't fired the woman, and it was unclear whether she will be allowed to continue working for the system.
School resumes Aug. 19, and Shirley said it was impossible to say whether a decision about Williams' employment would be made by then.
"We have not received anything from the state investigation," he said.
Williams was arrested at the school in April on charges of having sexual relations with multiple students at Selma High. Williams has pleaded not guilty, and the state is investigating the city school system.
It's uncertain whether Williams could return to work even if school officials wanted her to do so since a judge prohibited her from having any contact with children or from entering school property.
Williams was charged with possession of obscene matter, electronic solicitation of a child, being a school employee who had sexual content with a student and enticing a child under the age of 16 for immoral purposes.
The Alabama Department of Education informed local school officials last month it was investigating allegations of sexual activity involving system employees and students during school hours, at school events and on school property.

I've also been working on some Android / Wear projects - Word of the Day is also available on Android / Wear, thanks to the development effort of
Jeremy Shore
! There are also games and watch faces I've designed available in the Google Play store for all Android Wear smart watches. Tally Counter for Wear is the latest project - a simple app to count anything you need to keep track of! Fit Cat was developed by the fantastic
Chiu-Ki Chan
, and I provided the illustrations.
I've been making some T-Shirt designs that are for sale (limited time only) on
Cotton Bureau
. I'm submitting new designs all the time, so keep an eye out! If the shirt you like isn't for sale, you can request a re-print, and you'll be notified when it is available again.
Also, I have a bunch of prints on Society 6, which you can check out
right here!

Welcome to Cornish Turkeys. We produce Fresh Free range turkeys for Christmas in Cornwall in the South West of England. We offer Bronze and White Free-Range turkeys oven ready at very competitive prices.
Welcome to Cornish Turkey's. We produce truly free range turkeys ready for an extra special Christmas lunch on our farm in the upper reaches of the Fal Valley.
Cornish Turkeys is a fledgling business (sorry had to be done) and was started 6 years ago by two friends Will and Alex with the aim to provide 20 happy tasty turkeys to friends and family. Since then the business has grown from strength to strength and this year we are able to offer a greater number of special bronze and white birds. Our ethos of happy, healthy and tasty birds produced with care and respect remains the same . We both feel that active, Free Range Turkeys, Raised in Cornwall can only be tasty turkeys.
Our birds arrive on the farm as day old chicks, we keep them indoors under heat until their feathers are waterproof and they are ready to explore the great outdoors at 6 weeks.
Once they are big enough to not be a temptation to Mr Fox they have access to a large field by day and are safely shut in a barn by night.
Turkeys are naturally inquisitive creatures so we enrich their environment to keep them entertained and are able to demonstrate their natural behaviours. Turkeys also like to roost off the ground so we provide them with a variety of perches.
The turkeys are fed on a diet of corn which is all grown here on the farm and a small amount of pellets to give them all the vitamins and minerals they require. Corn is not only a natural feed but gives them a fantastic flavour. They are not given any hormonal growth additives but simply allowed to grow at their own pace.
When Christmas comes the turkeys are all treated with the same care and respect and are processed here on the farm which minimises stress to the birds. They are all dry hand plucked and left to hang for 5 days to maximise their flavour for the big day. They are sold dressed in the traditional manner with giblets for super gravy.
Turkeys can be collected from the farm where we would like you to join us for a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie!! Alternatively turkeys can be delivered by arrangement.
We very much look forward to hearing from you.
Will, Alex and the Team at Cornish Turkeys

Moab is more or less nestled between Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.
For no particular reason, we decided to go to Arches first.
So through the gate...
...and onto the Visitors Center we went - to do our normal routine; watch the movie and get the passport stamped.
Some wildlife sculptures outside the Visitor's Center:
Arches is a mix of road-visible attractions and sights that needed to be hiked to. ....and it was getting hot very early in the day. So we had to do a little picking and choosing.
When you take the main road in, you climb a little, then are treated to some magnificent rock formations:
My favorite: the Three Gossips
More "windows" and "arches"
"Balanced Rock"
One of the more famous arches, that is portrayed on a lot of official Utah signs, is "Delicate Arch". To get a really good view of it, you have to hike quite a distance. We weenied out and took photos from a distance. (like I said, it was HOT)
Freeze Gopher! (I know, it's not a "gopher" - but it's hard to pass up a Caddyshack reference)
Gratuitous daughter shot
We thought this was odd looking. Couldn't really make up our minds what we thought it looked like...
It looked like a cross between a butt and and mushroom. A "buttroom"?
"Fiery Furnace"
We had been at Arches for a couple of hours and were conserving our energy for a longer hike: to see "Landscape Arch". Apparently a large portion of it had fallen away from it a few years back, and the experts say its days are numbered.
The trail...
while not long,
...and not full of elevation changes,
(HA, can you tell Christina is getting a little annoyed by 2 weeks of parental overload?)
was a little tough - as it turned to sand
But in time we got to Landscape Arch
The hike got us over-heated. So, after hiking back to the Support Vehicle, and enjoying a few more views along the way...
...we drove the short distance back to the hotel, (Where I had scored a primo covered parking spot outside the front door) ...
...had a bite to eat, and cooled off for a while.
Up next: Canyonlands
