DH posts strong quarter and beats Street estimates. Feature article at http://www.planetclick.com/ratebar.mpl?rs=nc&siteID=3179&categoryID=1014&OrderBy
Go 100% in common stock fund you won't be sorry if you stick around for a few more years.I have 15000 fund shares,and growing.
That's right. DHC401K is an awesome plan. I work at T739 started the 401 103 weeks ago. I'm a level I and have 8100 in my 401 now. And I had most of my money in index funds, 20% in DH
Thought you might enjoy this:
Foul cankering rust the hidden treasure frets,
But gold that's put to use more gold begets.
William Shakespere, Venus and Adonis, 1593
Kerri, looks like you had this one scoped out
just right! I'm thawing out some crow right now so I
can cook it up for dinner. Unabashed prognosticators
like myself generally keep a large supply on hand for
times like this.
Don't spend it all in one
Check it out.
Your story is interesting. How does it turn out?
And, how do I get to be the shark and eat everybody's
DH may not be sharkproof, but for the time being, is
pretty good at running and darting.
DH has a great 401k plan. DH common has been the
way to fly - at least for the past three years. The
DH common stock has out performed the other funds
available in "the plan" by a very wide margin. Perhaps this
may change in the future, but it doesn't seem
Because of the constraints placed on entry and exit from
the various funds, it certainly makes one think
before hopping around too much. But the rewards are
there for someone who can get in and out at the right
times. I think you just proved that.
(Chapter One)
The Shark
silently moved in for the kill. Then, without warning, his
massive, powerful head emerged from the rubble which had
only moments before been the floor of the New York
Stock Exchange. The huge jaws opened to feed, and in
the frenzy that followed first one floor trader, then
another was devoured. "Their profits! Their profits!"
shouted the anguished crowd! But the profits were gone,
and so was the Shark. Back to the land where no
trader dared follow. The land of bowling, and the land
of dirt.
The traders
cleaned themselves and slowly returned to their positions
on the trading floor. In what seemed like only a few
minutes the scant remains of the unfortunates had been
carted away, and the rhythm and general cacophony of the
Exchange returned. Yes, on the surface all seemed normal.
But it was not. For in their hearts, and in the other
not so noble places where secret thoughts reside, the
traders wept. For they knew too well, this would not be
the last.
It was a lucky play that payed off,to get in and
out of the fund is good and bad.So far this year has
played out very close to last years ups and downs.DH
401k plan is the best.99% of the time I am 100% common
stock,but there is always a chance to gain a few more fund
shares.I think someone on this board said 70 by april,they
might be right if the market helps out.I think april
may be a near term top until fall?
I couldn't agree more! DH even holds up well on
days when the broader market is marginally down. The
chart tells the story sooo well. Especially when I
superimpose DH over Wal-Mart, the DOW, or the S&P 500. I'm a
long term believer. My concern is the very near term.
Specifically, this month. I hope the market proves me wrong.
I'll actually be better off if I'm wrong! But I just
can't shake these mean ol'down turn blues.
term DH rocks!
Saw your post yesterday. That was a quality play!
If you don't mind my asking, were you "selling the
fact", or was it something else that tipped you
I'd give it a 9.9 for artistic talent and a 4.01(k)
difficulty multiplier for a grand total of 39.699 points. No
doubt about it, you're going to the bonus round.

The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has opened the door to increased liability for banks when hackers make fraudulent withdrawals. In Patco Construction Co., Inc. v. People's United Bank, the Court held that Ocean Bank, a division of People's United Bank, failed to establish "commercially reasonable" measures to prevent six fraudulent withdrawals from an account held by a local business. This alert provides an analysis of this significant decision and its potential implications for financial institutions.

Ike takes us through his season -- event by event. Here's his take on Lake Okeechobee and what he learned there.
When we stopped last week I was in the middle of telling you why the two small bass I caught on the third day of the Oneida event made for one of my best days ever.
The math worked in my favor. I claimed the last Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year slot for next year's Bassmaster Classic. That's a lot of weight off my shoulders.
The Open on Cayuga Lake is over; that event got me pumped up for the final Elite Series tournament on Oneida Lake later this week. It'll be a challenge because I have so much riding on the outcome, but hey, that's what this business is all about.
After some on-the-water tests, I am rethinking how I pack my boat for bass fishing.
I was out fishing with the girls on Sunday, and we had an interesting experience that I thought might help some of you guys this summer. Conditions were tough so we fished the dragonfly bite.
The Ramada Championship on Oneida Lake is coming up, and I'm holding down slot number 31 in the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year points race. That's too close for comfort as far as I'm concerned.
I had a mediocre finish on Lake Champlain last week and then a long drive home to fish a local tournament on the Cooper River with some of my old friends from the Top Rod Bassmasters.
2012 ICAST is over. We had a really good time. I can tell you from what I saw the fishing industry is in good shape. There's lots of activity and interest in our sport. I feel good about things. Naturally, it was a tough week. Crazy might be a better description. I spent all three days running from sponsor to sponsor trying to make sure everyone got the help they deserve. The good side of that is that there were plenty of buyers showing interest in our products, and all the other products, too. It's better to be crazy than calm. Calm is bad at ICAST.
Tomorrow night is the start of ICAST. Without going into every detail I'll tell you it's the biggest fishing show there is. Nearly every manufacturer in the industry will be there with new or improved products.

Determining whether a violent offender continues to pose a threat to society is much like predicting the weather — accurate in the short-term, but not the long-run

His call was disconnected after 9 seconds, before anyone answered. After hesitating a few seconds more, he walked inside, tossed a tear-gas canister and opened fire: "At that point, I'm on autopilot."

pulling up the tide, darkness ebbing and flowing, on the silent soundFine Arts, Photography2015
An experiential piece exploring Dartmoor as both a physical place and the imaginative space that it creates through a rich history of myths and legends.Fine Arts, Photography, Writing2015
From a case study.Fine Arts, Photography2015
I shot the Awakenings photographic series on the South Downs in East Sussex, inspired by Virginia Woolf's diaries and fictional writings. The landscape is formed of rolling hills, cut in half by the chalky waters of the river Ouse. Through her writing, Woolf was able to describe both the beauty and violence of nature within a single sentence. In her book To The River, Olivia Laing, writing on Woolf's connection to the land says Virginia "was acutely sensitive to the landscape, and her impressions of this chalky, watery valley pervade her work. Her solitary, often daily excursions seem to have formed an essential part of the writing process".
Throughout her life, Woolf suffered through periods of depression and mania. On more than one occasion she was put through rest cure. Developed in the late 1800s for treatment of hysteria and other nervous illnesses, it involved long periods of enforced bed rest and isolation, with creative activities such as writing and needlework strictly prohibited. Fearing she may go mad again, Woolf drowned herself in the river Ouse in March 1941.Photography2012
For 'Drowned' I photographed locations of drowning incidents, placing these beautiful natural places into a tragic context to examine man's relationship with the sea in a way that draws out the conflicting relationship between the horrific and the romantic.
The relationship between time and process are central to the project as the length of exposure on the film directly relates to the time of exposure of the body to water when drowning. These timed exposures allow for brief moments of contemplation by creating an ethereal quality in the images that hint toward the euphoric feelings brought about by this ultimately fatal experience, creating tension by representing these powerful and dangerous seas as still, dream-like surfaces.Fine Arts, Photography2012

Rated 2 out of 5 by Mom of 2 from It's just ok We were really excited for this toy box to contain a toy explosion that happened in our house after the kids' birthdays and the holidays. I was pretty surprised when I took it out of the box. Right away I could tell how thin the plastic was. Very different from the plastic in the two playhouses, kitchen and two wagons from Step 2 that we have. (We have the white and red one and you could see the floor tiles through the inside of the box if that shows how thin it is!). Also, the lid was scratched all over and had lumpy ridges along the bottom of the lid (where you put your hand to open it). It does hold quite a few toys and I love the shelf on top. Just not overly impressed with this item. Still on the fence if we will be keeping it or not.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gramma Nikko from Quite Cute This product is cute, durable, has a good amount of storage. In fact, our 2 1/2 grandaughter used it to play hide and seek before it got filled with toys. The lid that goes up and slides back to stay open is especially nice. We are pleased.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LaurieBC from Step 2 'Lift And Hide' Bookcase With Storage The shelves have come in very handy to display books, and special items that have been given to our daughter. We are using the storage area at the bottom for her baby blankets, and there is a lot of storage space. Our daughter is only 5 months old right now, but the storage area will be easy for her to access her toys once she is older. We loved that it was already assembled.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BusyMomTwo2 from Great Buy! If you're looking at keeping your childs toys clean and organized, take a look at this storage box. The box itself is very large and can fit a ton of toys. The covered lid is convenient if you want to hide the mess but I keep it open for easy access for my 2-year old. The 2 shelves are handy. They are great for storing smaller toys or books. A great buy for the money!

The birth of SpinachCon
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
User testing is often limited in free software. However, long-time advocate Deb Nicholson is developing a simple but effective way around the limitations: getting developers and users together and calling the result SpinachCon.
The idea of SpinachCon came through Nicholson's work with OpenHatch, a non-profit with the goal of encouraging new contributors to join projects suited to their expertise and interest. Nicholson wanted to apply some of OpenHatch's ideas about receiving user feedback to MediaGoblin, another project with which she is involved. "But it's not worth getting people in for twenty minute at a time," she says. "So I thought, what if you could do a bunch of projects at the same time?"
At first Nicholson named the idea ComplainCon, but "people thought that sounded really negative. So we developed the metaphor of what happens when you have a bit of spinach between your teeth, and you need a friend to let you know. We assume that the intent is good, but there are just a few problems. SpinachCon sets up a kind of camaraderie."
The metaphor immediately suggests a low-key, non-confrontational approach with a purpose that is clear to everybody -- especially when Nicholson modified the black and white image of Gnash's GNU by adding a bright green speck between its teeth.
How it works
Basically, the user-testing equivalent of a hackathon or a bug-stomping party, SpinachCon had its first test-run on March 21 (https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/the-0th-spinachcon). Four projects participated: GNU Mailman, GNU MediaGoblin, LibreOffice, and Inkscape.
The format is simple. Each project had its own table, with computers ready to use, and developers sitting by to help. Users could also set up on their own laptops.
The 25 users were mostly 20-55, and about 40% women. Many were either local social activists or attendees of the Free Software Foundation's annual LibrePlanet Convention. Greeted by Nicholson, the users received a brief orientation, and were then invited to fill any vacancies at the tables. If no vacancies were available, users were invited to socialize while snacking on pizza and (naturally) "a big batch of spinach salad." When vacancies opened, Nicholson announced them to users not currently testing.
At each project, users were given a list of tasks to attempt. At the end of their efforts, they were asked to grade the software they used on ten point scales for aesthetics, intuition, user-friendliness, and professionalism. Additional questions asked how the software compared with proprietary equivalents, and what might help the software to become more widely used.
According to Nicholson, most users tried at least two projects. The degree of completion might have been higher, except that there were sometimes waits of 15-20 minutes for a vacancy, and some users came too late to do more testing.
When I talked to Nicholson, participating projects were still evaluating their results. However, she did mention some of MediaGoblin's results: an endorsement of the black background on the project site, the observation that no confirmation dialogue appeared when uploading a file, and various navigation problems.
In addition, MediaGoblin's lead programmer Chris Webber apparently had a typical initial reaction that, as Nicholson phrased the situation, "People looked at it in ways I never even thought of." Like most developers, Nicholson notes, "because he's so deep in the code, usability's kind of invisible to him."
Conversely, Nicholson suggests that meeting developers face to face helps users overcome their pre-conceptions of developers. "The way that computer experts are portrayed in the media is really a hackneyed trope: a big guy, in a black T-shirt, with a big bag of Cheetos who lives in his parents' basement and has had a date like never. It's not an incentive to participate in the development of free software if you think that's who you're going to be hanging out with."
The trial run did have some minor problems. Most users, Nicholson found preferred a mouse to the touchpad on a laptop, so the next SpinachCon will have more mouses available. In addition, users at the next SpinachCon will be encouraged to bring their own laptops to help reduce waiting times."
Generally, though, the enthusiasm for the idea of SpinachCon ran high. "I got a lot of people saying, 'This is fun. When are you going to do it again?'" says Nicholson. At LibrePlanet over the next couple of days, OpenHatch made SpinachCon an official project, which should help refine it. In addition, Nicholson met two people who already wanted to put on their own SpinachCons.
However, perhaps the best indication that SpinachCon is an idea whose time has come occurred during the event itself. When talking about some of the feedback, a representative of GNU Mailman and its archiver HyperKitty, remarked, "Oh, that's spinach we know about." With the language already being shaped by its central metaphor, you can be sure that SpinachCon is an idea whose time has come.comments powered by Disqus

Forecasted wind gusts around 40 mph and dry, warm air have actually prompted the National Weather Service to post red flag warnings for much of the area. That said, how windy has it been today so far?

New Splinter Cell To Run Roughly 12 Hours
Normal mode will take about 12 hours, realistic mode also included.
Splinter Cell: Conviction creative director Maxime Beland wants people to finish his game. Accordingly, it looks like Sam Fisher's latest adventure will be clocking in at around 12 hours.
"I want people to play my games and finish them," Beland recently told Official Xbox Magazine.
"We're going to ship with difficulty levels, at least a normal mode and realistic mode - like we did on Rainbow Six Vegas. And realistic is going to be really fucking hard - you're going to need stealth, two bullets is going to kill you, the enemies are going to be super-lethal."
Normal mode, however, will be "for normal gamers, that are going to spend 12 hours playing our game and not 30 because they're dying all the time."
For those worried about getting their money's worth, Conviction will of course also feature a robust multiplayer mode. Should be plenty to keep fans busy when it arrives this October.

@Raybird:speak for yourselfPosted: Jul 04, 2009 12:00AM PST by Gamereternal
I like a game with a decent amount of gameplay in my games......
But if you wanna buy a 12-hour game.....
Then by all means, go for it. As for me, I'm actually gonna put my money towards a game, that I'll get my money's worth and I'm a single player gamer. So no decent single player exp. equals no money from me, but if you're all about the multi-player, I'm not hating on ya.
all I can say is...Posted: Jul 04, 2009 12:00AM PST by ray_bird
... screw anyone complaining about this. I have a job and had enough trouble trying to get through GTA4's over-padded storyline. If you need a game to last 80+ hours, go replay DQ7 or something. I don't have the time to give to gaming like I did in high school or my early 20s. I personally don't mind a shorter, tighter game that's enjoyable to play and that I might just be able to see the end of. Hell, if I like a game enough, I'll play it more than once through.
Damn, SC:Conviction was one of my top games games of 09Posted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by Gamereternal
But at only twelve hours, I cannot justify spending another sixty-five bucks, just for twelve measly hours of gameplay. Is it too much to ask to get my money's worth. Even RE4 and RE5 took me a good twenty + hours and I finished them at least four times a piece, not counting the extra modes... But after having spent sixty dollars on Wolverine:Uncaged and beating it in one day, just to trade it back in within a week and recently Legends of Wrestlemania, I can't justify, twelve hours fuck that.. If this was 1990, it might be worth buying. But there are just too many games coming out. October is now officially the big game month and I think UBISoft is making a huge mistake...
Especially when there are so many incredible AAA games coming DragonAge, Brutal Legend, Tekken 6, Bioshock 2, AC2 and a ton of other games that will have more than twelve hours of gameplay, that'd I'd be better off buying. Plus, it does'nt help UBISoft's case that MGSIV will probably come out next year and it will surely be better. I think AC2, Bioshock 2 or Tekken 6 are the best bets but it is a huge mistake, I don't wanna pay sixty bucks for a game, that justifies a longer gameplay experience by simply making the game harder, at least if we're gonna get a realistic mode, give us something else to look forward to, unlockables, new story elements, levels, weapons, sidequests to make it worth it.

The only way Conviction becomes a A++ game is to come to the PS3.
@ShadOwFacePosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by MiNdGaMeS
sorry i guess that was kinda confusing but i was just using naughty dog as an example cuz they are 1 of my favorite devs n the reason i used them is cuz there games r usually pretty short but i always buy them just cuz how good they are...but on the S.C. thing ubisoft montreal usually makes great games as well
@mindgamesPosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by ShadOwFace
Dude splinet cell conv is comming from nuaghty dog bro its from ubisoft.
But your right its an A++ quality title that Is totally worth the money required to pick up the copy.It even has MP =O
y such a big deal about MPPosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by MiNdGaMeS
i dont understand y so many of u people make such a big about MP...i guess im just old school even tho im only 22 but the single player almost always the most important thing to me then the MP is just like an extra bonus if its good....and those of u that say u wont waste $60 on a game with only 12 hours of single player confuses me cuz if a games really good i want to support...i dont know maybe some of u have to budget yourselves or dont see the value but the devs desire the sales for there hard work when they do a great job...i will buy any game naughty dog puts out no matter how short it is cuz there just so freakin good at making games they are amazing
@mjames4040Posted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by sepewrath
Thats because people aren't buying time, were buying a game we want to experience, its not simply about how long it takes on average to blow through the content in a game, its about how you experience that content. I like to take time exploring my games and I keep them and play them for years to come unlike people who feel that a shooter with MP is worth 60 bucks when the servers will dry up in a year. Not every game can be 30 hours and keep people compelled, you cant make a quality game by simply stretching content. I rather spend 60 bucks on a 12 hour game I will play 15 times in my life than on a game with online MP that will be getting hacked and glitched to death in a matter of months and its the same as a really long game that just have the same content with a different face.

Wonder how long the other Splinter Cells took to beat.
For this genre...Posted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by ghost_7
....12 hrs for the campaign it's ok with me.Plus the fact that UbiSoft claims the MULTIPLAYER component (replay value) will be robust......That makes it worth $60 Bucks in my book.
Not payin' $60 bucks for a 12hr game without some solid multiplayer modes when i can rent it for $7 bucks and beat it over a weekend. But Thank God that wont be the case with this title.
@The_Fallen...Posted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by MiNdGaMeS
yea thos cut scenes are great the 1st time through but after that i just skip the longer 1s...heavy rain is gonna be amazing regardless i wasnt really sold on that game until about a week ago when i really looked into n god does it look good so many ways u can handle different crap itll make u beat it so many times before u see everything....12 hours is a great length but usually when devs say the length its 3 or 4 hours shorter when u play through it
@SlainBabyPosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by MiNdGaMeS
yea u got that right it does look pretty good n seems well polished but i guess only time will tell...but judging by what i saw something tells me its gonna be a day 1 buy for me...although i think i might kinda miss the old stealth elements of the other S.C. games but maybe thats just cuz its been such a long time since weve got a new 1
@slainbabyPosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by The_Fallen...
That's a good point you made about MGS without all the cutscenes it really is a short game that was made artifically longer. No hate I love the game and after thinking about it for awhile 12 hours seems resonable. I payed close to $50 for indigo Prophecy and that lasted only about 6-8 hours and I loved it. But I do hope Heavy Rain is longer even if Quantic is focusing on replay value.
ReasonablePosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by tjkjr
The average gamer is in his twenties to early thirties. These men and women have jobs, which takes them away from their consoles for at least eight hours a day. Let's say it was a 25 hour game. I'm guessing that 1) these people aren't going to play everyday, and 2) they aren't going to play that long if they even do get around to picking up the controller. And probably by the time they get even halfway through the game, another AAA title is going to be released, and the game will be forgotten as a new one takes it's place.
That being said, the other Splinter Cell games were also in this range too. If it keeps your attention, does it even really matter? Aren't some 90 minute movies as great as 2 hour ones? It all comes down to the QUALITY of the game, not the QUANTITY. Left 4 Dead had a meager single-player campaign, but great online play, and this game will probably fall into that category.
Still, I would still like to see a co-op campaign. My dad and I enjoyed the co-op in the recent Splinter Cells.
For you guys that are whining...Posted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by FiendishDude.1up.com
This is the same length as any other Splinter Cell. The hardcore way to play these games is to perfect your stealth runs or to find new things you didn't know you could do before. I probably spent 30+ hours on Chaos Theory's campaign. Splinter Cell games have always been really easy to beat, but it is more about how you beat it. And the people talking about how huge Final Fantasy games are disgust me. That is a totally different kind of game.
@mjames4040Posted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by diediedie
Uh, newsflash: no Final Fantasy game has ever had 100 hours of content in it. If you manage to spend more than 30 hours playing a game in that series, it's guaranteed that at least two thirds of that time was spent grinding and just generally doing nothing. You could run around the same two rooms shooting the same two guys in Splinter Cell for days if you really wanted to, but I don't think they're counting that towards the 12 hours.
@ born.prodigyPosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by solidsnakered
yes it is true i favor the MGS series over splintercell, but being a gamer who has followed the series since NES i am sure you'd understand. I want to love the Splintercell series equally the same, but there isn't much going on in that series to care, so it sits at a healthy second place behind the MGS series, but anyway...your possibly correct about MGS4 being 5-6 hours; as i have never counted the actual playing time I am not going to argue with that. but as you mentioned that your all about PURE stealth, and i am sure your aware that STEALTH games should take longer to finish since your going at a slower pace, but if your turtle crawling through each level and it still takes 12 hours to complete?...how long do you think it'll be if you decide to just run and gun? Don't get me wrong i am still going to play the game, but a 12 hour game to many people is acceptable for a portable, but not for a console I'm sorry.
50 bucks for the PC version is cool with mePosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by ShadOwFace
Since Im as huge a splinter cell fan as everyone is a halo fan.
Ive been waiting for this for so long.
QuestionPosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by Pollak
What are these super long action games people are playing that 12 hours seems short? I can't seem to recall any games that were 20 or 20+ hours long that weren't some form of RPG. As for people saying old school games were long, I would have to disagree. Old games seemed long because you were a kid and you sucked at games plus you didn't have a save feature. Once again people need to stop whining. Also, all those people who claim they play 20 hour actions games I have breaking news for you. Those games aren't that long, you just suck.
@mjames4040Posted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by Richard_M_Nixon
Actually, that makes for a perfect rental, wouldn't you say? So rent and enjoy. I did the same thing with Uncharted. I had a blast for 8 hours, took it back to the store. Now I'll almost certainly be buying Splinter Cell, because they've never let me down before, and I'm sure the muliplayer mode will pick up the slack, but why sweat it? I'd rather spend 8 dollars on an awsome 12 hour game than $60 on a mediocre 25 hour game (I'm looking at you, Prototype)
12 Hours = Story focusedPosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by Shonuff27
Well if your going for 12 hours it's mainly because it's telling a story a really good one at that. It hink this game is gonna be awsome but just like how I felt about Mirrors Edge it's just too short for 60 dollars, multiplayer would have to be "the shit" if im gonna cough up that money. It's a recession and I think i'll be renting this one, good thing I renewed my Gamefly account this year.
I just won 75 dollar store credit at a SF IV tourney and I want to spend it on the right game, it's been a week already. :(
And this is what you all pay 60 dollars forPosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by mjames4040
Gaming is becoming the biggest sham in entertainment. I only have to rent this game once in order to play it twice. While there are a bunch of people who will spend 60 dollars for basically nothing.
I cant fully blame the publishers though, because if you guys just allow them to do this to you, then you kinda deserve it. But Beland saying that "12 hours is good enough" is crazy.
What really bothers me though is that these publishers dont see it as a problem, and the way that this guy was talking, it seemed like he was saying that "we couldve put more hours in the game easily, but it really didnt seem like a big deal to us" There should be no reason that an action game has less than 20 hours of gameplay. It seems to me that if Final Fantasy games can get at least 100 hours of gameplay in it, then these people can give you at least 1/5th of that time.
To me, even though it costs a little more money to put some more hours into these games, I think that it is all about their priorities. Because if they really wanted to put 30 hours of gameplay in it, then they couldve easily done it.

I'm guessing your a mgs fan, and so am I but for pure STEALTH action splinter cell has always been better. I prefer MGS as a whole but this new splinter cell looks fantastic. Also, If you remove all of MGS4's cutscenes the game is only about 5-6 hours long. Anyways, 12 hours is perfect. I wish more games would be in the 12-15 hour range. It's a guaranteed purchase for me
12 hours!Posted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by solidsnakered
I can see how many people are just going to rent this turd, or wait...you can just watch all of the Bourne movies in a row and still get the same satisfaction minus achievements.
@MiNdGaMeSPosted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by SlainBaby
That makes this game even more impressive, if it's been in development less time than I thought then it looks amazingly polished. Though I have not actually played it of course, so I will reserve true judgment for when I actually see how fun the game is in it's entrity, but from what I saw it looks very impressive.
Hour Of NeedPosted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by great_boss
Final Fantasy games clock in at half a century, and yet the ride is engrossing. Sam Fisher taking only 12 hours to find the truth behind his daughter's death is unrealistic.
12 hrs ........... nicePosted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by SlyOneil
12 'fracking' hours!!!
Im in, when does the game come-out?
I never liked the original Splinter Cell . Sure it was 'pretty', but who wants to sulk around in darkness all the time? Not me.
Im so 'fracking' loving these new Splinter Cell: Conviction Videos (so far).
Yea 12 hours is greatPosted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by ShadOwFace
Its actually more than I expected from this type of game these days.Im kindda tripping out that some of you think 12 hours might not be enough.
If a 12 hour spilnter cell game is not long enough.Then you playing to many video games and need to go outside a little more and mingle.
Huh?Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
I don't know what planet these people are from, but I'd like to go there. Here on Earth, action games average 6-10 hours. "Back in the day", NES games could often be killed in a couple of hours. In fact, that's what was expected, since most of them had no save feature.
In order for a story to remain compelling, the game can't drag on for too long. You want things to wrap up shortly after the climax. Go further than 15 hours, and you run the risk of the players losing motivation before finishing, or feeling as though it's a chore. If there are elements of leveling up, creating classes or whatnot that drag it beyond that time frame, then it's treading into RPG territory.
12 hours is plenty for a cinematic action-shooter.
1st of allPosted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by SBHS
this is news? I want my games to range from 20-25 for an action game (except zelda, keep that at 40hrs). These new games keep getting shorter and shorter. I need more bang for my buck, or a lower price, sorry David Ellis. That's why I bought Fallout instead of Mirror's Edge. IF ME was 30 dollars, I wouldve got it.
12 HRSPosted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by slayer0096
is good..come on..with other things in mind a 12 hr game is not bad plus multiplayer..it will be worth ur 60$....to long will be boring....
12 hrs is fine if it has multiplayerPosted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by Trup1aya4rea1
I can't wait for this game. I wanna playin on realistic and really take my time to make sure I don't get spotted or take any damage. The more open mission structure allows you to play through the game in many different ways, so there's certainly some replay value there.
Does this game have multiplayer? I sure hope so, but I haven't heard anything about it. That will definiately take the play time way beyond 12 hrs.
Really?Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by Terpsnation
You all are complaining about a 12 hour game, really? Thats pretty long, compared to most games nowadays.
News story?Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by SlainBaby
I think 12 hours is great length of time, I don't see why you would want the game to be any more drawn out. I am sure you could beat MGS in less than that if you took away all the cutscenes. Halo was about a 6 hour game. So I really don't see what the complaints are about. A game of this nature would be boring if it went on too long and you can probably make it last even longer if you really want to get time out of it by turning up the difficulty and taking your time doing missions and finding any secrets. Really this isn't some Action/RPG game where you can spend countless hours levelling and going through tons of story, it's just a stealth game.
You can 'get your money's worth' just by the pure enjoyment this game should bring form start to finish, they were working so long on a perfectly polished game that is 12 hours of pure fun I would assume.
C_GloVePosted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by papajason5
your right about call of duty 4. that game was only 9hrs long at the most.

I still think pandora tomorrow was the best one. perfect balance in multiplayer. and the singleplayer story was amazing. nothing has appealed to me as much as that.
@tical2399Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by flaabs
My sentiments exactly. Far too much emphasis on graphics not enough on the rest of the game. Who the hell cares how good the graphics are if you're only going to look at them for ~10 hours and then never touch it again? Sure, online multiplayer may increase the overall replay value for some gamers, but what about those who don't can't utilize/don't give two shits about online multiplayer? What happened to good ol' fasioned split-screen? I can still bust out my SNES and play some rounds of Mario Kart with my buddies. Will I be able to merrily skip down nostaligia lane, hand-in-hand with a few friends, with my old 360 in 10 years? Nope, there won't be any servers to host the games on. There's nothing "wrong" with online multiplayer, I just don't see why developers can't include a split-screen option as well. With the amout of gameplay that passes for a full game these days, there's no excuse to not include it. Games today just cost more and deliver less content.
I guarantee this game will have DLC available on day one. In theory, DLC is great. It gives gamers an oppurtunity to experience new content for games they've already beaten/gotten tired of, and can extend the life of a game. However, most developers/publishers seem content to deliver an unfinished retail game, and then charge consumers more for content that could have easily been included on the retail disc in the first place with little/no cost at all to said developers/publishers. "DLC on day one" just means you're too stupid to realize you're buying content you already paid for. If its available before the game even fucking ships, then why isn't it just on the goddamned disc? Ah, the wonders of the HD era. It's all about the Benjamins.
I bet we'd be left with much more content and an overall richer experience if developers stopped worrying about having their games run at 1080i and concentrated on making games that don't suck.
Seems 24 inspired in a good way...Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by FIG
...When someone says its going to be 12 hours long I usually take longer to play it because I am thorough. I remember some comments about inFamous taking 10 hours and after playing it for a whole week straight, I still am only 2/3 of the way into it. I cannot wait for Splinter Cell and think the E3 video looks phenomenal. Its comes a long way since we last saw it.
What is the purpose of this story?Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by EvilGenius
12 hours is about the average length of games nowadays. and probably the length of the previous Splinter Cell games.
This is nothing but fanboy bait.
Has 1UP become the Fox News of the gaming world?
You Gotta be kidding me...Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by ChicoXx
I've been waiting this long for this splinter cell to come out and its just 12hrs?? I guess this will be a rental or a used purchase hell I will be paying $60 just so that I can be done with it in 2days then afterwards its all gonna be jus DLC's...WTF??
OXMPosted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by BoredStupid
Did they print the f-word part in OXM? Hm. Haven't read it in a while, guess it seems different now.
Maybe we should be demanding less graphics???Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by tical2399
It seems to me as games become more advanced in terms of techonology the shorter they get. Lots of money goes into graphic presention and such, at the expense of numbers of levels (I think so anyway). I'd think I might like less polished grahpics if the saving go on to making a game longer. I like long single player experiences (don't like online play much so no replay value there for me).
I know its not as simple as "make some cuts in graphics and the length of the game increases" but if they aim a little lower on the graphical scale they may free up some funds to go into level design etc. I'd personally love a game with so-so or just slightly above average graphics that lasts me 20+ hours (not counting RPGs) than to have the most stunning visuals around and be done with it in one or two sittings.
I missed out on the last SCPosted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by ChuckWoolery
I played Doble Agent a bit but Chaos Theory was the last one I owned and played through. I wonder how their stealth multiplayer will turnout? I'm excited.
I think 12 hours is reasonable...Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by C_GloVe
Call of Duty 4 wasnt long at all, but it was filled with action from start to finish. If its done in the same manner, it should be ok. I'd rather it be short and action packed rather than long and drawn out more than it should.

Sounds silly but you done the game on hard, got all upgrade weapons and got gold on all the challenges. To see how much you got to go when you go and choose your saved game it will tell you what % you have done the game. I had same problem thought I did it but was on 99% nd did not get gold on 1 of the challenges.

The story mode is really not that difficult on hard.The problem most people have is Shock n Awe Extreme. Now that is hard. I found a great tip for this which helped me more than anything.
I was getting all the points I needed on the first 3 rounds but couldn't manage to finish the 4th round in time. At the start of the 4th round equip your exploding gel and run straight for one of the side platforms. Gel the floor and all the thugs will climb up and hit the gel together. Now ground takedown like your life depends on it. You won't take them all out in one go but you can get over to the other platform and repeat. I couldn't have done it without this technique. Hope that helps people

Looking at climate change through a pedagogical lens
The realities of climate change paint a bleak picture for the future of our planet. As scientists and politicians debate research and policy, the average person can feel overwhelmed and helpless in a maelstrom of rising oceans, greenhouse gases, and endangered species.
Top 5 things you need to know about the Education Clinic
If you're looking for affordable counselling or assessment services, you need to know about the Education Clinic.
Located on the main floor of UAlberta's Education North building, the Education Clinic may be one of the hardest working service providers on campus.
Leading advocate for LGBTQ youth honoured with Alumni Award
To say Kristopher Wells ('94 BEd, '03 MEd, '11 PhD) is a busy man is quite an understatement.
Co-director of the University of Alberta's Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services (iSMSS) and assistant professor in the Faculty of Education, Wells is a leading researcher and advocate for sexual and gender minority youth across Canada.
Now more than ever, his expertise is in demand.
Education alum pushes poetry beyond printed page
As a child, Mary Pinkoski ('99 BA, '06 BEd) didn't know she was going to be a poet when she grew up. She didn't compose couplets in her journal, didn't write rhymes in her head, but she was always putting pen to paper.
"I've always done writing of some sort," says Pinkoski. "In high school, and when I was doing my bachelor of arts degree at the University of Alberta, I wrote for the Sherwood Park News. I've always been interested in telling people's stories."
From BEd alum to UAlberta Senate – Levasseur is a lifelong educator
Edmond Levasseur's ('67 BEd) lifelong philosophy has been to engage completely and give himself over to the causes about which he cares the most. That's been reflected in his dedication to both his teaching career and his volunteer work.
Levasseur graduated with an undergraduate degree from the University of Alberta's Faculty of Education in 1967 and had a long career as a teacher before going into private consulting. He spent much of the latter part of his career working on language education policy and second-language education in schools across the province.
Nursing professor thankful for her roots in education
Growing up in rural Germany, Vera Caine ('98 BScN, '02 MN, '07 PhD), was inspired by her mother—a kindergarten teacher—and her aunt, who worked with the many refugees arriving in the country.
Giving back to the community was a family value, and Caine carried it forward at an early age. When she was just 13, she worked in a nursing home, and then at 17 she took a year off school to volunteer in a psychiatric hospital.
Meet Frank Jenkins, UAlberta's "science education missionary"
"It's not easy to change the inertia of an education system," says Frank Jenkins ('66 BEd, '71 MEd, '87 PhD).
It may not be easy, but the Edmonton chemistry teacher, textbook author, and science education advocate has devoted his 45-year career to doing just that.
It all started with baking soda
Frank discovered his preference for practical chemistry in high school, learning about the chemical industry, how blast furnaces produce iron, and how baking soda can be used to make cookies, extinguish fires, or clean people's homes.
Creating the first cultural digital library in Canada's North
When you live 400 km from the nearest library, getting information can be a real challenge. Faculty of Education professor Ali Shiri of the School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS) is leading a project to address this issue. Together with co-investigator Dinesh Rathi, also of SLIS, Shiri and a team of collaborators have begun to bridge the information gap for some of Canada's most isolated people with a project called Digital Library North.
Healing a legacy of cultural genocide through a new generation of Aboriginal women
Canada's last residential school, the Gordon Indian Residential School in Punnichy, Saskatchewan, finally closed in 1996. A dark chapter of Canada's contemporary history that was largely ignored until the recent report by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the schools were a perversion of the very idea of education, destroying the culture, identity and traditional knowledge of Canada's Aboriginal peoples in the name of assimilation.
Queer Muslims - out of the closet and into the library
Gianmarco Visconti occupies a privileged position in society, and he knows it. Born and raised in Edmonton, the Master of Library and Information Studies student in the Faculty of Education is also gay and Muslim--facts he can choose to disclose, or not.
"My mother is of Arabic descent, raised in Kenya by adoptive parents. She deliberately didn't give us Arabic names to protect us from being targets," says Visconti.

I absolute enjoyed my experience here. The staff was beyond amazing. I was so fortunate to have found them by accident!Minnie S.
They did a great job in making a scaredy cat such as me actually be comfortable with the dentist. They were knowledgeable and did everything they could to calm my nerves, and it worked! I enjoyed the work and after seeing the results, it has made a big difference to my teeth. Hopefully, when I get a good paying job, I can try out their Invisalign aligners.Melissa C.
The staff here were like family to me. The office was also clean, professional, and high-tech. I only regret not having found them sooner, because I had tons of bad experiences at previous dentists. I highly recommend these folks.Tony B.
This is wonderful family-friendly dental office. They did an awesome job with their care and didn't treat me like another dollar. They helped me get settled and I was enjoying my time on their dental chair. I schedule a follow-up visit after having my dental implants, I look forward to seeing them next time!Richard E.

May 7, 2014
BOCA RATON, Fla. - After the Florida Atlantic University knocked off No. 26 UCF in Orlando on Tuesday, the Knights came back to take revenge on Wednesday, topping the Owls 4-1 in Boca Raton.
Both teams had runners reach base in each of the first five innings, but it was UCF (30-19) who was able to capitalize.
The Knights took the 1-0 lead in the third on a pair of singles and a sacrifice bunt. UCF would extend its lead to four by posting three runs in the fifth when James Vasquez hit a two-RBI, bases-loaded single up the middle and a wild pitch allowed another run to score.
FAU (25-24) responded in the bottom of the fifth when Stephen Kerr reached on a fielder's choice and stole second. A two-out single by Brendon Sanger allowed Kerr to cross the plate, ending the shutout.
The Owls left two runners on in each the eighth and ninth innings as UCF held on for the win.
Sanger, Tyler Rocklein and Levi Meyer each had two hits for the Owls while Kerr drew a pair of walks.
Jeremy Strawn was handed the loss, allowing one run on four hits with two strikeouts in three innings of work. Zach Rogers earned the victory, striking out three and giving up five hits in 5.1 innings.
The Owls return to action on May 13 in a non-conference game against FIU at the FAU Baseball Stadium. For ticket information, visit FAUSports.com or call 1-866-FAU-OWLS.
