Game Concept?
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, there really is no specific place for fan GAME work; just fiction, art and "productions" and I'm guessing though this is in the concept phase at this time; it'd still most adequately fit in "productions".
First off, a bit of an introduction. For class I have to create a game that is about some part of gaming culture; a game about games. The work we reviewed as a sort of thought template was "The Stanley Parable". I wrote up my design and as I finished the base concept statement; I realized that (1) I was HEAVILY influenced by a particular episode of Voyager "Flesh and Blood" and (2) I'd prefer to use the Star Trek universe over original works. Here looking for assistance in fleshing out the writing of the small game project and for advice as to if using the universe is advisable for the project.
The simple concept is this:
The player character is a young Ensign. Plot starts in a battle simulation on a Holodeck, which is basically a game within a game. The player character considers this game to be lighthearted fun and laughs it off. Shortly after, the young officer is forced into actual battle during an away mission and has psychological issues with killing real intelligent beings. The basic theme here being a game about the difference between real killing and simulated killing and the psychological pain it causes someone to kill intelligent people. The overall idea being to show the difference between video game violence and the real thing.
Intended playthrough length of around 40 mins to two hours. It's a concept for a class project at this point and not a developed one at that. Thoughts?
Re: Game Concept?
I don't know if this will be helpful, I'm not a 'games' person:
Star Trek Games overviews:
Re: Game Concept?
As a professional video game developer, right off I can tell you you're making fundamental mistake: you're thinking about the story and not the actual play. "What's the interaction? What do you do? What are the objectives, win and lose conditions?" Those are what you need for a game. The story is merely the setting. You need the gameplay to be compelling. The story and setting is frosting. You need the cake.
Re: Game Concept?
Re: Game Concept?
You still haven't said what kind of game it is, so it's really difficult to give you any feedback. First Person Shooter? OTS action game? Turn based? Real time? The difference between a Castle Wolfenstein and a Wolfenstein 3D is enormous, and input I'd give someone for one wouldn't be applicable to the other.
Re: Game Concept?
True FPS; though more of the game focused on the story/point than constant action. Have considered modding in some sanity effects along the lines of what Amnesia did though.
Specifically what I had in mind was. Starting immediately into action; battle simulation on a holodeck. Not necessarily informing the player that it's just simulation; just that they are in the middle of some battle. Acts as a normal FPS until either a set amount of time passes or the player "dies" in the simulation at which time the character gets called for an away mission by a superior officer. For awhile after this period, the game style switches to story driven; same first person camera style, but weapons locked out simply watching the situation unfold. He is simply to keep watch during negotiations. Something goes wrong and the negotiations turn violent and the young officer is forced into their first real combat situation. Due to being disarmed for the negotiations, he is forced into using far more visceral (and fatal) weapons than normal. He has psychological issues with using these but is forced to do so. Considering the choice of making the man under pressure a betazoid, so that part of his issue with killing is understanding the memories and the pain of those he ends up forced to strike out at (alternatively simply imagining such as a human may be more relate able to the player). The battle plays out and he returns to the ship; closing dialogue involves him working out mental issues he got from those actions with the ship's councilor. Again, main theme is the contrast between simulated violence and the real thing.
Re: Game Concept?
Possible to have the character slow down in real combat to show his subconscious unwillingness to killing?

Reports question Mac clone maker Psystar
updated 03:40 pm EDT, Wed April 16, 2008
Psystar Mac clone phantom
Just over 10 years ago, Motorola, Umax, and Power Computing were active members of the official Apple clone community, and the recently popular Psystar is looking to offer the same sort of service, but it could be too good to be true. The Psystar Corporation seems to have materialized out of thin air, and that investigation reveals that the company could be little more than a potential fly-by-night operation.
Allegedly based in Miami, the The Guardian's Charles Arthur probed the company's background history to find out that despite being registered in 2000, several search engines revealed absolutely zero information on Psystar before the recent announcement. A call to the Miami Chamber of Commerces and the Better Business Bureau told Arthur that they hadn't heard of the company.
Some time Tuesday, Psystar had relocated its address from a three-bedroom house in a suburban area to an industrial park, where further inquiry exposed a packing supply firm, USA Koen Pack, with the manager claiming he had not heard of Psystar.
Arthur also finds it peculiar that Apple - a company famous for its control over product integrity, leaks, and other things - has remained mute on the subject. Arthur theorizes it could be waiting to see what happens before exhausting energy into the matter.
Blogger Gene Steinberg of The Mac Night Owl noted earlier that the Psystar's claim to offering a more powerful computer than the Mac mini at a cheaper price comes at a cost, lacking a $200 Firewire card. Some of the specifications are superior, but it also lacks iLife, one of the Mac's best selling features for home users.
MacNN contacted Psystar via email and phone on Tuesday, but had not received any response by publication time.

14 candidates miss filing deadlines
The Pennsylvania Department of State cited 14 candidates, including three from Western Pennsylvania, for missing the Oct. 25 campaign finance deadline, the last one before Tuesday's election.
Pennsylvania Superior Court candidate Jack McVay of Shadyside, former Allegheny County Common Pleas Court candidate Wrenna Watson and Washington County Common Pleas Court candidate Mike Lucas received citations, state officials said on Friday.
McVay's campaign said a mix-up on whether it could file online caused the delay of one form.
Marty Marks, McVay's campaign director, said staff filed McVay's committee finance report on time through the Department of State's website. The campaign found that another form, a finance report about the candidate's personal spending, could not be filed online.
"Our campaign finance report was filed on time, in compliance," Marks said. "It was the individual candidate report that wasn't."
The individual report has been mailed, Marks said. He said McVay, a Democrat, has not donated to his own campaign. But because it wasn't postmarked by 5 p.m. on Oct. 25, it was late.
In Allegheny County, Watson was running as an independent candidate, but was removed from the ballot because of a challenge to her petition's 4,000 signatures.
Watson said she wasn't aware of the need to continue filing disclosure forms after withdrawing her candidacy.
Ron Ruman, a Department of State spokesman, said the October filing requirement tends to get more attention from candidates, media and voters than the earlier deadlines.
"The idea is to get people to file on time so the information is there for the public to see before they vote," he said.
A late report comes with a $20 fine for the first six delinquent days, and $10 a day after that with a maximum fine of $250. A more severe penalty awaits an elected candidate, who can't take office if he or she has not paid any of those fines.
Department of State officials said Washington County First Assistant District Attorney Lucas of Charleroi did not submit his personal finance form on time, though it has since been received.
Lucas was charged late fees in the May and June filing cycles. He paid $40 each time.

In celebrating the Month of Photography, Access Gallery is pleased to present "Another Pointe of View," a photographic exploration of ballet from sight impaired students. This show culminates an eight week residency program in conjunction with Colorado Ballet. Lead artists, Rachel Gomez and Chris James, worked with two mediums not typically associated with blind students – dance and photography. The results are amazing!
The students received an introduction to the camera and were able to explore Colorado Ballet from top to bottom. They were able to photograph the studios, the costume shop and even behind the scenes at the Ballet. Each student was also able to attend an audio described performance of the Colorado Ballet's Ballet Masterworks and a behind the scenes tactile tour.
On March 20, the gallery will host a Meet the Artists Reception at the VSA Access Gallery, 909 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, CO 80204. For more information, visit www.accessgallery.org.

As someone pointed out there used to be 5 Superman titles but they each had diamond numbers telling you the story order. The net effect was that even though you got,
Superman, Action Comics, Adventures of Superman, Man of Steel and Man of Tomorrow
, the net result was that you had a weekly comic that told one large story. Batman did the something with cowl numbers across,
Batman, Detective Comics, Legends of the Dark Knight
, etc.
That's unnecessarily overcomplicating things, if you tell the same story just get rid of 4 of the 5 titles and slap the same one on all covers.
People actually complained about that set up and demaned that each comic tell a unique story.
In kind of understand that, I want only one book per character but if they do release five, they should tell different stories, otherwise the readers feel like they're forced to buy all Superman books.
If they only release one weekly series the reader pays the same amount of money but at least he's only buying one series, it's probably a psychological thing, like $9.99 being perfectly fine but if you aks someone to pay $10 they're suddenly hesitating.

The ecm for some reason wont tell my injectors to fire when I try to start my car. I replaced the ecm and I'm still having the same problem. Also at higher rpm the engine will cut out and if I hold the gas it will stall and die.

Thought about that but it doesn't do it on cold start. Once the engine warms up and I shut it off that is when I have the starting problem.

Check the individual injector resistances, I would expect you to see around 13-15ohms or slightly higher. If you find one or more that is significantly lower, you have shorted injectors. The resulting increase in current flow, is shutting down the injector driver in the ECM.

NPC Falls Most Since Debut as Japan's Quake Halts Supply
NPC Inc. sank the most since listing in Tokyo after the Japanese maker of solar-cell manufacturing equipment reversed its outlook to a loss because of delays to parts shipments and reduced sales from the March 11 earthquake.
Tokyo-based NPC plunged 20 percent to 1,721 yen as of the close on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the sharpest drop since July 2007. NPC debuted on the bourse's Mothers section on June 29, 2007, when the stocks were untraded because buy bids outnumbered those to sell.
NPC expects a net loss of 128 million yen ($1.5 million) for its fiscal year ending August 31, saying damage from the earthquake is causing delays of more than a month for some parts shipments and imports, according to the company release yesterday. The company had forecast 1.44 billion yen profit and earned 823 million yen a year earlier. NPC slashed its full-year sales outlook 17 percent to 20.1 billion yen.
Also, NPC had its investment rating lowered to "sell" from "buy" by Mitsuhiro Osawa, an analyst at Ichiyoshi Securities Co.

Very good points. But it's really human nature to put labels and otherwise demean people who think differently than they do. If there's something fundamentally wrong with that person, even if it's just in your head, you don't have to confront why they think differently or are as they are.
Yeah, part of why I dislike the "bad people=sociopath" is it ignores that society has a lot of built-in methods of control for ensuing non-sociopaths can do evil ****. The whole process of "othering" is designed, at a fundamental level to create a situation where good men can ignore the horrors done to other (or suffering thereof).
Until we confront that, we'll never have a UFP in RL.
I actually liked the use of showing non-sociopaths=evil with Gul Mandred in "Chains of Command." He's this guy who Picard interacts with and a professional torturer. However, as much as he gets under Picard's skin, we get to see under his as well. He's got a family he loves, he's motivated by the fact he used to be a street urchin, and there's this ITTY BITTY part of him which knows his daughter is going to grow up in Space Nazi Germany--and it terrifies him. That's sort of the Cardassians thing, really, showing how multifaceted people can do horrible things even though they should know better.
Re: Kira's Mom
My problem with the issue of the whole "Comfort Women" story is more "Small Universe" than anything else. I.e. that Kira's mom, of all people, would end up with Gul Dukat as opposed to Random Cardassian Soldier 718#. Also, the fact Star Trek is a fundamentally PG franchise means there's no way in hell they could actually show what exactly the analogs to these women really underwent.
Admittedly, what they went on screen is still a form of sexual slavery. I'm actually a little unnerved at how many Star Trek fans seem to think what happened with them was a form of collaboration or anything less than repeated rape.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee junior wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers practiced with the Volunteers on Saturday after missing Thursday morning's practice because of "internal issues." UT coach Derek Dooley said he had "extremely positive" conversations with Rogers since Thursday, and the All-SEC wide-out responded with a good practice on Saturday. He was the team's leading receiver last season with 67 receptions for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns.
The Vols installed their red-zone offense and defense on Saturday. Dooley said the key is scoring touchdowns on offense and holding opponents to field goals on defense.
In the first week of practices, Dooley said he is pleased with energy level, tempo physical play of the Vols, but said the lack of experience shows up in some areas, especially with new schemes and seven first-year assistant coaches.

The city owns the property and has allowed the nonprofit Scouts group, the Cradle of Liberty Council, to use the headquarters rent-free for the past 85 years. Because the Boy Scouts barred gays from membership, the city unsuccessfully sought to have the chapter evicted for violation of Philadelphia's anti-discrimination policies.
In May, officials announced the group would vacate its home in return for $825,000 to pay for improvements it made to the building.
Workers were busy outside the headquarters Friday morning, building a frame around the statue to prepare it for shipping. The statue will be cleaned and preserved, according to Tom Harrington, CEO of the nonprofit. Harrington said in a statement that the group hopes to install the statue at its new headquarters, once one is selected. The organization will operate entirely out of its Valley Forge office until then.
The dispute between the City of Philadelphia and the Cradle of Liberty Council began long before the Boy Scouts of America took steps to move away from its ban on gay members. When the city attempted to evict the group in a 2010 trial, the jury found that the effort violated the Scout chapter's First Amendment rights.
The Cradle of Liberty Council, which has 17,000 members in the Philadelphia area, ultimately decided that putting an end to the battle would be in its members' best interests, and agreed to settle with the city.
The council's staff will leave the Philadelphia headquarters by June 30. A scouts' supply store in the building will close by Oct. 31.
Meanwhile, now that the organization has opened membership to gay youths, a church in northeastern Pennsylvania has opted to kick out its local troop and dissolve its relationship with the Scouts, citing moral differences, the Times-Tribune newspaper in Scranton reported.

Completely enveloping the head, it was constructed of a bowl with separate brow reinforce, close-fitting cheekpieces hinged at the sides and closing at the chin, and a pivoting visor. The armet usually was worn with a secondary face defense, or wrapper, which covered the lower face and neck and prevented the visor from being struck open. The wrapper strapped around the armet and buckled at the back; the rondel projecting from the base of the bowl protected the straps and the closing of the cheekpieces at the back.
The Museum's armet and wrapper are contemporary but associated. The bowl is struck on either side of the medial ridge at the back with a Brescian-style armorer's mark consisting of the letters IA (?) beneath the abbreviation sign. The wrapper bears the marks of the famous Missaglia family of Milan used before 1452: the letters MY beneath a crown and below, struck twice, an M beneath a split-legged cross. Both pieces were etched at a later date with arms said to be those of the Piombini family. (The visor is associated and the rondel is modern; the wrapper has been altered.)

The Thyroid Solutionby Ridha Arem
It's sometimes called a hidden epidemic: One in ten Americans--more than twenty million people, most of them women--has a thyroid disorder. At any given time, millions of people have an undiagnosed thyroid disorder and experience a chronic mental anguish that almost certainly arises from the very same source. Yet many primary-care doctors still don't recognize the importance of the thyroid in mind-body health--and its especially crucial role in women's well-being.The Thyroid Solution is a must-read for anyone who suffers from a thyroid condition. It's the first mind-body approach to identifying and curing thyroid imbalances. Written by a medical pioneer and leading authority in the field of thyroid research, this groundbreaking book offers Dr. Ridha Arem's practical program for maintaining thyroid health through diet, exercise, and stress control--and through his revolutionary medical plan, which combines two types of hormone treatments with astounding results. Inside you'll discover- The thyroid basics--what it is, where it is, what it does- How thyroid hormones affect the brain and alter mood, emotions, and behaviorleading to brain fog, weight gain, loss of libido, infertility, anxiety, and depression- What tests to ask your doctor to give you--and what they mean- The vital connection between stress and thyroid imbalance- The benefits of antioxidants and essential fatty-acid foods and supplements- How to recognize and cure the deep and lingering effects of a thyroid imbalanceFilled with remarkable patient histories and interviews that document the dramatic results of Dr. Arem's bold new treatments, The Thyroid Solution now gives you and your doctor the tools you need to live a life with peace of mind . . . and body.
The Thyroid Solution Dietby Ridha Arem
Could your thyroid be making you fat? Do you have a hard time losing weight? If your thyroid and metabolism are slow, you can't lose weight simply by cutting back on what you eat. And if you're overweight--whether you suffer from a thyroid problem or not--your hormones are most likely out of whack and are keeping you from losing those extra pounds. World-renowned endocrinologist Dr. Ridha Arem has treated hundreds of patients successfully for hormone-related weight problems--and almost every weight problem has an accompanying hormone problem. Now for the first time in The Thyroid Solution Diet, Dr. Arem makes his comprehensive hormone-balancing nutrition and weight-loss plan available to the public. With it, you will restore your health and feel better-- mentally and physically--as you get slimmer. Dr. Arem perfected his unique diet after extensive research, modifying the Mediterranean Diet so that his plan is higher in protein, higher in fiber, and also low-glycemic. This way your meals are both satisfying and filling. Specific combinations of proteins and essential supplements at each meal rev your metabolism and reverse hormonal imbalances. And you can further personalize your weight-loss plan by choosing from Dr. Arem's extensive lists of Favorite Foods and from 48 delicious recipes created especially for this book. Before you even start the diet, Dr. Arem takes you through a weeklong detox plan to rid your body of the environmental toxins that compromise your hormone functions and contribute to making you fat. You'll make his carefully formulated smoothie and also start to work with the illustrated 20/10 Exercise program--twenty minutes of aerobics and ten minutes of strength training--to generate energy and vitality. Retrain your body, ramp up your energy, sleep better, reduce stress, and--finally--lose weight and keep it off. This comprehensive mind-body health and diet plan can help you. *** From The Thyroid Solution Diet Do you want to lose weight? Have you tried diet after diet and yet the stubborn pounds remain? Regardless of why you gained weight, once you're wearing those extra pounds, your metabolism shifts gears, triggering multiple hormonal changes that perpetuate weight gain by making your body resistant to losing weight. The only way to lose weight is to rebalance your hormone systems, and the Thyroid Solution Diet is meticulously crafted to do just that. Ask yourself these questions: Are you always tired? Do you have dry skin and dry hair? Is your hair thinning? Are your hands and feet always cold? Do you have a lack of motivation or are you moody, anxious, irritable, or depressed? A thyroid imbalance could be causing any of these symptoms . . . and your weight gain, too. For decades, researchers knew that the thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck, governed metabolism, mood, body fat, brain function, and even hearing and vision. But the details on how thyroid hormones control appetite, energy, and weight weren't clear until recently. Even if you haven't been diagnosed with a thyroid condition, or your doctor has told you your blood tests are normal, you might have a subclinical thyroid imbalance, meaning your blood tests are minimally abnormal or borderline. Many doctors ignore these small abnormalities, but losing weight with a borderline low thyroid condition is extremely difficult.

Anchor Bay Films have just picked up the theatrical distribution rights to After.Life for the U.S. and UK. This is another film that has been in limbo for quite some time despite having such talent as Liam Neeson, Christina Ricci, Justin Long and Josh Charles.

Script's co-written by Wojtowicz-Vosloo and Paul Vosloo and centers on a young woman caught between life and death and a funeral director who appears to have the gift of transitioning the dead.

Brewster is in, Chatham is out.
That's how the Cape Cod Baseball League's East Division playoff berths settled after both the Whitecaps and Anglers dropped their final games of the regular season on Monday night.
Brewster (17-25-2) edged out Chatham (17-26-1) by one point for fourth place in the East to qualify for the postseason. That leaves the fifth-place Anglers wondering what happened in down the stretch after holding a seemingly comfortable lead over Brewster.
Chatham was 3-7 in its last 10 games and lost its final four games. Brewster went 5-1-1 over the final week.
Bourne wrapped up the West Division title and the league's best overall record with its franchise-record 27th win by beating Wareham 5-0 Monday night, giving the Braves home-field advantage through the playoffs.
Wareham finished fifth in the West and is out of the postseason.
While there are two more regular-season games tonight - Cotuit at Falmouth and Bourne at Wareham — the first round matchups are set.
Orleans (24-18-2) finished second and Yarmouth-Dennis (24-19-1) third in the East after both won Monday.
Hyannis will get the third spot in the West even if Cotuit wins tonight and ties the Harbor Hawks because of a better record in the division.
The playoffs begin Wednesday night with the opening games of the best-of-3 quarterfinals.
In the West, it will be Cotuit at Bourne and Hyannis at Falmouth. The East will feature Brewster at Harwich and Yarmouth-Dennis at Orleans.
Cotuit reliever Adam Whitt of Nevada Reno finished with the best ERA in the league at 1.00. Whitt went 5-0 and threw 36 innings in 19 appearances and saved four games.
It appears likely Falmouth shortstop Kevin Newman of Arizona will successfully defend his batting title. Newman went 3-for-4 last night and is at .370. Richie Martin Jr. of Bourne and Florida is hitting .358 after going 4-for-4 last night. Billy Fleming (.357) played 31 games for Bourne before signing as a free agent with the Yankees.

Narcissists are interpersonally exploitative, i.e., take advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends.
From the DSM-IV by American Psychiatric Association
Edward was the sole income provider in his family of four for 15 years. He was earning well above average in the entertainment industry, and his narcissistic wife Stella loved buying clothes, getting invited to industry events, going to lunch with friends (who also had husbands in the industry) and meeting semi-famous people.
But when the reality TV craze set in, Ed lost his job because they didn't need his writing and directing talents. Within two weeks of him losing his last job, with no more waiting in the wings, Stella became as distant and as cold as can be. Edward says,
We would go to church and I would sit next to her and she would get up and move one seat away. In our king size bed, she would sleep three feet away. When I put my hand on her hip, she would take my hand and throw it back to me and ask me not to touch her. Any and all physical contact totally went ice cold and non-existent.
She stopped talking to me about anything that wasn't 100% necessary. She would go into our bedroom and lock the door. She would have secretive phone calls. A number of things just went ridiculously south with no explanation. Once the income stream that I provided, dried up, I was of no value any longer. I was just a paycheck. And when that stopped, any and all affection for me stopped too.
Mona fell under the spell of Matthew, her psychiatrist. The two became lovers after he shared details about his cold and distant wife and confided how lonely he was. Mona says:
He pursued me, a client, to fulfill his need for love and adoration (I was a willing participant, yet I was so fragile at the time). He needed someone to split the rent of his office, so he went into business with a long term client who needed office space. A client became his vet, a client became his financial planner, a client who led golf trips asked him to come to a premium golf outing at some island.
A client who was dating someone in computers store gave him a brand new smart phone when he spoke about wanting one. He is very savvy at happening to mention things he wants to people who can fulfill them. I have watched him do this to his psychiatric clients over and over again.
In earlier blog posts, we've talked about narcissists as lacking empathy, feeling entitled and above the rules, and seeing other people as appendages whose sole purpose is to fill them with narcissistic supply. Yet sometimes the narcissist doesn't get everything she needs through more subtle means. She needs to take a more direct approach. Thus another narcissistic trait "Is interpersonally exploitative, that is, takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends."
An exploitative relationship may take many forms. But it generally involves using others without regard for their own feelings and interests. The narcissist doesn't even think about what's best for others. He places no value on open, fair and honest exchanges. He's too concerned with satiating his own hunger for whatever it is that he needs, be it physical, emotional, financial, whatever. For narcissists with some kind of power, such as religious figures, chief executives, politicians and the like, this is like taking candy from a baby.
In The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists (Julian Day Publications: 2002), Eleanor D. Payson explains that while the NP unconsciously expects others to bend to his will (p. 22-23) however:
The narcissist has learned that other people do not always do his bidding or meet his demands in the way he expects. He has, therefore, developed manipulation skills, sometimes deceitful, to achieve his goals. Sometimes these skills are highly developed ability to charm and bring others under his spell or influence.
Other times, he may be exceptionally good at using intimidation, power plays, or intellectual prowess. Yet another style is the martyr manipulation of using helplessness, obligation, or guilt. In many ways, the narcissist has assessed, with considerable skill, the vulnerabilities of another person. He then effectively manipulates this person until he achieves his desired outcome.
Fear, obligation, and guilt hook family members into giving as much as they can even when it's clearly against their best interest. Narcissists and people-pleasers/codependents have a way of finding each other. The cycle only stops when the non-disordered partner accepts that things will only change when he or she becomes aware that this is a one way relationship and that they will always be in the giving, not getting, role.
This is part 1 of my second series about the similarities and differences between those with borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. To see a list of the 10 parts of the first series, click here and view the top of the post.

Daddy Long Legs is the stage version of the classic novel by Jean Webster, made famous to movie lovers in the more traditional 1955 Fred Astaire, Leslie Caron musical.
Jerusha, played by Ephie Aardema, is an orphan living in the John Grier Asylum in 1909 when she is selected by one of the board members to be his protégé. He will educate and support her anonymously and she in turn will write to him every month detailing her life and education. He, however, will not respond in any way except occasionally through his "secretary".
Her benefactor, one Jervis Pendalton, is played by Webster Conservatory graduate Kevin Early. Pendalton cannot resist the irrepressible Jerusha, whose wit and personality leak through the pages of her letters. The bulk of the play is a reading of Jerusha's letters to him over a four year period, done in dialogue and in song.
It's a romantic story, of course. Predictable yes, but with that turn-of-the-century charm that I found irresistible. We know Jerusha and Jervis will end up together, but watching them get there is fun.
Both Ephie Aardema and Kevin Early are exceptional in their roles. They are never, ever offstage except during intermission, and then only for fifteen minutes. That kind of performance is exhausting but neither actor lost their energy or charm.
The music of Paul Gordon is full of seemingly dissonant chords and some of the closest harmonies I've ever heard; you couldn't fit a piece of tissue paper between them. Aardema and Early make them sound as natural as breathing.
I admit, it took me a while to cast off images of Fred and Leslie and 1955, but once I settled in, I thoroughly enjoyed this unique treatment of an old favorite.

The Moto 360 is the most attractive Android Wear device you can buy right now, with a design that's more reminiscent of a regular watch. Even so, it suffers from poor battery life, just like other early smartwatches, and it has a higher price, too.Read the full review →
As low as
It's the best Android Wear watch, but that isn't saying much
With its stylish good looks, comfortable feel and overall premium build, the Moto 360 is the Android Wear watch to beat. When it comes to design, at least, it outclasses everything else on the market. Aside from aesthetics, the 360 offers many of the same features as its rivals, including a heart rate sensor and a pedometer, plus some other goodies like wireless charging and an ambient light sensor.
Even with the design, though, Motorola didn't totally get it right. The 360's large size is a legitimate concern for narrow-wristed individuals, and the experience is dampened by various imperfections that include cutoff notifications and that "flat tire" at the bottom of the screen. What's more, the battery life is actually worst in class -- and that's saying a lot considering other Android Wear watches also need to be charged once a day.
All told, the smartwatch landscape is so new that we'd recommend waiting to see if something better comes along. Sure, the Moto 360 is the best option right now, but it might be obsolete in just a few months. That said, if you want to jump on the Android Wear wagon now, the Moto 360 is your best bet.

People who are considering a wearable device like the Moto 360 or Apple's to-be-named gadget will need to remember that wearing this thing makes it harder to unplug: You're less likely to take your watch off than leave your phone in the other room.Read the full review →
The Moto 360 tells the time better—and looks better—than any other smartwatch. But right now it's telling me that it's not the time to buy one. Smartwatches still need improvements, both in hardware and software.Read the full review →
The Moto 360 is a step in the right direction, but neither it nor Android Wear is ready for prime time. Smartwatch hardware has moved from "awful" to "less awful" but we're still a ways off from "decent" or "great." How long do we have to wait for a second version?Read the full review →
The current model a good first attempt at a smartwatch for Motorola but for something I will wear 12 hours a day, every day, I want better.Read the full review →
If you're buying a smartwatch today, spend $249 and buy the Moto 360. That's an easy call. But buy it knowing that this is only the beginning, that looking good is only the first step toward being great.Read the full review →
In the Moto 360 I've seen the future of wearables. It is visually stunning, great on the wrist, I feel a million dollars wearing it in public and Android Wear is extremely promising if still very raw.Read the full review →
Despite its flaws, we are still calling this our favourite Android Wear watch yet. It looks great, it feels great, and it generally works very well.Read the full review →
The Moto 360 is one of the best smartwatches I've tested yet, but I'm still waiting for something that's compelling enough to buy.Read the full review →

First Looks
Again, we weren't allowed to do much exploring (on the non-demo version they wouldn't let us look at the settings, for some reason), but from what we saw we were very impressed.Read the full preview →
I feel like many of the wrist wearable devices thus far have had a rather masculine appeal to them, so it was nice to see something that, although black, was stylish enough to pair with a sparkly bracelet. Aesthetics is what will help sell Android Wear devices to the style conscious.Read the full preview →
A big, round watch face screen, as opposed to the square type we're normally used to, makes the Moto 360 look like a regular fashion watch from a distance. But, in action, Google Now and other services transform the watch into a variety of at-a-glance uses.Read the full preview →
What a display that is. Edge-to-edge, bright colors, and great viewing angles, it feels like it's swimming on top of the cover glass, not underneath it.Read the full preview →
It's fashion that makes the Moto 360 such a sensation. While the Android Wear smartwatches from Samsung and LG are cute gadgets, Motorola's smartwatch is a piece of technology you covet.Read the full preview →
Android Wear devices are mostly made to work the same, offering the same kind of notifications and quick interactions no matter which device you use. But the 360's hardware truly sets it apart.Read the full preview →
The first thing you notice about the 360 is its round shape and spacious display. It's a fine showcase for Android Wear, so I'm sure Google's glad Motorola decided to show up at I/O.Read the full preview →
It's actually incredible to use in real life because it looks almost exactly like the promo shots which feels unreal. The circular design/interface makes it seem like something you might actually want to wear and the bulk isn't as big as we thought it would be.Read the full preview →
The design is excellent, the screen is beautiful and responsive, and the underlying software seems to tie everything together perfectly. As excited as we are for the G watch and Gear Live, the Moto 360 is definitely the wearable to watch out for this year.Read the full preview →
When I ordered the Moto 360 I was skeptical at best. I actually, to be quite honest, tried to cancel my order. It had already been processed and I was unable to do so. Seeing how Motorola has a great return policy I decided, what the hey, might as well give it a spin! Initial unboxing was...Read the full review →
Battery is a MUST for a watch. I found the watch to work all day without issue and i don't want to wear a watch to bed, so charging it at night on the VERY sleek and easy on the eyes wireless Qi charger is a dream.

I really wanted the 360. I had been waiting for it for months.

Wow, the Moto X is making...Read the full review →
Beautiful Looking, Battery Life gets me through a solid day, its what I expected from a digital watch. Out of the box the battery life with stock firmware was a hot mess with battery life, after the update, 1000x better, this watch can only get betterRead the full review →
Good: Nice form-factor and light-weight. Screen is crisp and bright. Leather band is nice and comfortable. Bad: Default watch dial faces are mediocre at best. Some are unreadable as they try to avoid the flat tire. Lack of Custom watch dials is frustrating. None of the "Top 10" designs...Read the full review →
Overall its a great looking and stylish watch. I do think though Motorola focused more on the look of the watch, rather than what the watch can do.Read the full review →

Love the watch. Many people/sites complain about how limiting android wear is, or that it lacks BLAH BLAH BLAH. I think they are looking at this android wear in a different way than I do.

Product of the Day: The Hierarchy of Beards Poster
Like us on Facebook
There's a special place in my heart for beard-related products, and popular culture appears to have joined in on the lovefest for all things furry faced. Take this Hierarchy of Beards poster. How else are you going to know that at the top of the beard hierarchy, there's the awesomely named "flapwings" beard, or the "chin-muffler." Or how about the "wispy wiggins" or the menacing "meat grinder?" It would be pretty awkward to kiss someone with face fur like this.

oh well ya that'd hurt

what comes around is all around
I clicked this like "I'm gonna say lung capacity" and then it was here.
SO I guess knowledge of obscure 90's nostalgia and sludge metal bands?
real girl bored me
do you guys like young thug? i didn't at first but he's growing on me
I prefer more classical trap music myself.
hey oister have u heard the joke about the basketball player in the space station
no but now i wanna
ok so there was a basketball player in a space station. i mean like currently he was an astronaut but he was really good at basketball in college you know. it's like everyone on the space station is an astronaut so you kind of need something to set you apart right. so like there's like the mom and the dentist and stuff. like in addition to being astronauts you know. so this guy was the basketball player right
anyway so one day the basketball player is like doing some construction inside the space station. like i don't know like building a shelf or something cause sometimes things break and like he was just doing some work i don't know whatever. anyway he was working with a saw and like some wood. i mean it doesn't matter what he was doing the important part is he was sawing wood right
ok so like i don't know exactly what happened next but he sawed off his ear, the basketball player did. maybe he like put his head down cause he was tired but he kept sawing, maybe he was like holding he wood he was sawing right next to his head. i don't know i wasn't there i'm not an astronaut. but like his ear is gone. right
ok so he starts bugging out. like can you blame him you know like if u lost yr ear u'd probably freak out too you know. so he's yelling and stuff. the captain of the ship (space ship not sea ship) walks in and is like hey basketball player why r u screaming
and the basketball player screams my ear is gone you know like my ear man damn
and the captain looks around and bends over and picks up the ear right
and he says is this your ear
and the basketball player says no my ear had a pencil behind it
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Death is beautiful. Death is sweet. For me my sweet death i love thy pale skin. Bring me to a world of peace. Take me to the endless grey mist. Let me talk to the wise tree in the forest. Let me see my long past loved ones. And give me mine wings. Take me to the Maker. O sweet death come for me soon.
I would make a list but I think I did a few years back... And it was not well-received by my girlfriend. And several of my preferences conflicted. It's hard for most girls to be an immortal mermaid centaur with an anime appearance and breasts the size of their head.
How do I turn off signatures while reading?
I like girl and boys who almost look like they can't be real because they are so perfect

It started in 1539 when Hernando de Soto arrived in search of gold to add to the plunder acquired in South America. On arriving in what would become Tallahassee, he just had a little request of the natives, who'd had the nerve to have their village - no, for their time, a metropolis - near a small cascade and sinkhole.
"Can we just have a little water for our canteens and horses?" Hernando inquired. The Apalachee considered and agreed. In a few days, the waterfall became the property of Hernando and the guys. They filled canteens, watered their horses, drew water for cooking, bathed, did laundry, ...

The fuel pump relay is located on a bracket on the right front corner of the engine compartment. A 12-volt test light will verify whether or not power is getting to the relay. Some fuses are not marked in the fuse box. Check all the fuses with the 12-volt test light.

Hi. My name is Carrigan and I already know some of the great people on this site. I've been mainly a 240sx/Impreza owner over the last several years, but I also dabbled in 80's toyota's (an SR5 corolla and an MX73 Cressida) and even a project 510 that just was the wrong time wrong place. Anyways, I finally found a truck I liked (I'm usually fond of datsun 610s..) and things just went from there. I haven't done a thing to her yet, but the previous owner gave me a good start.
I can't upload a pic right now, but maybe I will do so later and start a thread dedicated to any progress I achieve..

Recent softmods don't load a BIOS in the way you're implying, so you can't change the BIOS. The softmod alters the stock MS BIOS in memory to provide all the features of a hacked BIOS, and so long as you used a good (new) softmod like Krayzie or Kingroach it will support LBA48, which gives you large disk support. Which softmod did you use?
Posted 15 April 2009 - 01:07 AM
Oh i see. Um I softmodded mine just like 2 months ago with the latest unleashed (I think thats what it was called)
Is that one fine?
Is that one fine?
Posted 15 April 2009 - 01:20 AM
UnleashX is a dashboard, not a softmod package. If you used a gamesave the softmod package will probably be Krayzie or SID. The documentation that came with the softmod when you downloaded it (a txt file or a pdf) will tell you which softmod it is.

Here's some stuff. I've been trying to struggle through digital painting, anybody have any pointers on keeping the colors from mushing all to hell? I like the cat-lady but her face was frustrating me because I overpainted it and couldn't then figure out how to fix it. I'm trying to keep a semi-daily painting regimen so that I actually IMPROVE, but any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Just random sketches - a couple of these are life drawing, but mostly out of my head. There's a life drawing workshop starting up on campus as soon as fall quarter starts, so I'm going to start lurking around there to get in some practice. I haven't had any actual naked-people life drawing since summer of '04... it shows.
The following are sketches from the fourth worldwide Sketchcrawl I was in San Francisco with a bunch of awesome artists, wandering around and drawing whatever we saw.
Here are a couple of digital paintings. Not happy with the first one, but you have to suck and realize you suck before you can start to improve.
Hope you enjoy! More will be forthcoming.

Judge forced mechanic to kiss shoesComment on this story
Rabat - Moroccan authorities suspended a judge after he forced a mechanic who had not repaired his car on time to kiss his shoes, Justice Minister Mustapha Ramid told AFP on Friday.
"After the prosecutor in Meknes (central Morocco) prepared a detailed report, we decided to suspend the magistrate," Ramid said. The judiciary council will continue the investigation and then decide" whether to take further action.
Moroccan media and the Moroccan Association for Human rights said mechanic Hischam Himmi was forced by the judge to kiss his shoes after an argument.
Himmi, when contacted by AFP, confirmed the incident and said the magistrate, unhappy that his vehicle was not finish, insulted him and spit in his face.
"The police then came and I was taken to the police station where I was insulted again. There I was forced to kiss the shoes of the chief in order to be pardoned," he said.
The judge in question denied the version of events, denouncing them as "allegations" made with "political calculations" and as an attempt at "settling of accounts."
On February 24, around 5 000 people participated in a sit-in outside the court of first instance backing the mechanic, media reports said. - Sapa-AFP
