Re: Classic Mac Backgrounds (Images in thread)
Mac OS 8.5 and later came with full on themes (colors and desktop images). Mac OS 8.0/8.1 was the first version with the built-in ability to display images as a desktop background (and came with a few interesting ones and some extras on the installation CD). System 7.5.x and Mac OS 7.6.x had some interesting tiling patterns, but to display full images in System 7.x to Mac OS 7.6.1 you needed a third party app called
Additionally, starting in Mac OS 8.5 the system supported full theme changing of the interface... and Apple included a number of examples in the 8.5 Beta, but sadly pulled those and the documentation on how to make them by the final release. That didn't stop people from reverse engineering themes of their own. The only time Apple stepped forward to stop anyone was when people made an Aqua theme that looked like Mac OS X.
Here are some of the Mac OS 8.5 Beta Themes and the Aqua theme that I have on my PowerBook 3400c/200...
I'll go through and see if I can find some of the earlier tile patterns that came with 7 (I don't have a system running any version of 7 right now).
On the subject of ads, I started using Macs not because of an Apple ad but an ad for an application called
that I saw in a
Physics Today
magazine back in 1989. The ad was similar to this one...
When I found out that the software was Mac only, I quickly found my platform of choice. Even using systems like NeXT, SGI and Sun (none of which I could afford) moved me from Macs... well, until Apple acquired NeXT at the end of 1996, then I started paying especially close attention to NeXT (which ran on PCs by that point).
To give you an idea of what
is like, here it is running on my PowerBook Duo 2300c/100...
Which is using a
theme, which is better seen here...
And an image comparing
on that same system.
So Apple didn't convince me to use Macs, it was a completely different company's application.

I know of at least one example currently in our cvs where we went from a set of separate small patch files to one encompassing patch file. I think it was a diff from git. If we move to more advanced vcs are we going to have a harder time keeping patches separated? Or is it just a matter of education on how not to reach for the easy to produce mega patch shortcut? -jef

WEDGEDOG100, surely you jest!! You know better than that. As I stated five days ago (in response to your already-then deceptive post about the state of the market):
... look at the VMS chart from Sept. 7, 2007 (the start of VMS' run) until today and laid the HBM chart over it. Surprise surprise. VMS up 12.11%. HBM down 61.9%. You can verify it on Google finance."

Armed with those facts, why do you perpetuate this spin? Speaking of spin, only a few days ago, you were whining about how your posts have been positive for so long and how hard done by you were by this board recently for simply asking a question. How does that mesh with your newest story that you have supposedly known for some time about problems (that you will not specify and going back to 2007, no less!) yet you continued to hold your shares? And only now you come out of the weeds with these "concerns"? And you continue to hold?
Right... This all seems so very plausible to me.

ASIA/INDONESIA - Islamist militants block the construction of a Catholic church that has a valid permit
Jakarta (Agenzia Fides) - Christian and Muslim religious leaders have expressed dismay after fierce protests were organized in past days by Islamic fundamentalist groups to block the construction of a Catholic church in Tangerang, in the western part of Java island, about 25 kilometers from Jakarta. A garrison of more than 200 militants of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI ) tried to stop the establishment of the construction site. According to the local Church, Islamist groups are trying "to sow religious division". As reported to Fides, the Catholic faithful of the parish of Saint Bernadette say they have a valid permit to build the church, which can accommodate about 11,000 worshipers. The local parish priest, Fr. Paulus Dalu Lubur notes that "we have not yet fixed the laying of the first stone. I do not understand the protests because the building has the approval of the local religious leaders, including Muslims". Fr. Benny Susetyo, secretary of the Commission for Interreligious Dialogue in the Indonesian Bishops' Conference, confirms to Fides that the church obtained a building permit on September 11.
Among the population in Tangerang, leaflets of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI ) and other Islamic organizations united in the Islamic forum "Sudimara Pinang" that are opposed to the construction of the church, are circulating. According to the forum, "the church is a threat to Islam, and if the construction of the church continues, Christians will convert Muslims in the coming decades". As Fides learns, the Muslim religious leaders in Tangerang have distanced themselves from this position, stating that " it is wrong to stir up religious tensions" and appeal to tolerance and peaceful religious coexistence, essential trait of Indonesia.
According to Benedict Roger, a Catholic activist, among the responsible of the NGO "Christian Solidarity Worldwide" (CSW) , the episode is a wake-up call for religious freedom. Returning from a trip to Indonesia, remembering the attacks suffered by other religious minorities such as Shiites and Ahmadis, Rogers said in a statement sent to Fides: "While many Indonesians remain committed to religious harmony at all levels, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his government are not doing anything to combat intolerance. Not only have they failed to protect religious minorities, but in the last ten years they have introduced laws that violate religious freedom". (PA) (Agenzia Fides 03/10/2013)

Ring in the New Year With Your Own Photo BoothMelanie Blodgett
Thanks to HP for sponsoring this post. Click here to see more of the discussion.
In my experience, organized party activities can be terrible, or be the one thing people remember (in a good way). Photo booths are always the thing people remember.
And there's no better time to create your very own than for a New Year's Eve party, because you're going to have to occupy guests while they wait for that darn clock to strike 12. Plus, with the HP Envy printer, the photos can be instantly printed and double as a party favor.
Have I convinced you? Let's get started!
New Year's Eve Photo Booth 1 of 8
Step One 2 of 8
The first step in creating your backdrop is to cut several individual scallop shapes from paper. To make the shape, I traced the upper half of a round bowl for the scalloped edge, then drew straight sides and bottom edge with a ruler (see next image if this is confusing).
Step Two 3 of 8
After making the first individual scallop shape, you can use it as a template for all the other ones you'll need to cut to make the full backdrop. Make a nice big pile of the cut out shapes.
Step Three 4 of 8
After you've cut out your shapes, lay them side by side and layer from bottom to top. Adhere to a big piece of poster board with double-sided tape.
Say Cheese 5 of 8
Hang the backdrop and set up your camera on a tripod. Encourage guests to strike a pose and let loose.
Photo Props 6 of 8
Make sure to offer your guests plenty of props to encourage lots of fun in the photo booth. Confetti, noise makers, and balloons are great for New Years Eve. You can even make your own 2014 headband like I did here by hot gluing sign letters onto plain headbands.
Or you could print out some props like these cute ones available on Oh Happy Day.
Printing Photos Instantly 7 of 8
One of the negatives of having a photo booth is that I'm always left with a camera or phone full of photos that I promise to get to the guests and then they just sit on my computer until it's embarrassingly late to send them.
With my HP Envy Printer, I can send the photos straight from my phone to the printer so they're ready to go in just a couple of minutes.
Photo Favor 8 of 8
The photos make a great take home gift for guests and can be shared for laughs. When trying out the HP Envy Printer for the first time, I was surprised that a home printer could deliver that quality of photo.

Comparing the 'meaningless' technical specifications of Xbox One and PS4 is a pointless endeavor, argues Xbox product planning boss Albert Penello
Yesterday, we published the news that came in regarding the fact developers for XB1 have been told that the 32mb embedded memory bandwidth has been increased from 102GB/s on the early devkits, to now 192GB/s on the retail production consoles.
But an Microsoft Exec spoke out today against all this 'tech specs' compare wars of XB1 vs PS4, he says its no longer 1990, this next-gen era is no longer in the days of 16bit vs 32bit anymore.
He said, people have now moved on past all this 'tech specs' comparing shit, it will really all come down to the great GAMES that we will have for our XB1 console and of course (again) the added power of our CLOUD!
"The problem is that Sony decided to go out and publish a bunch of numbers, which are in some ways meaningless," he told OXM. "Because this isn't like 1990, when it was 16-bit versus 32-bit."
Penello went on to lash out at Sony's use of 'off-the-shelf' parts for PS4.
"As a matter of fact, they actually go out and they talk about how proud they are about their off-the-shelf parts. Our guys'll say, we touched every single component in the box and everything there is tweaked for optimum performance," he boasted.
"For me, I'd rather not even have the conversation, because it's not going to matter," Penello went on, playing down any real-world benefits to be had from tech spec differences.
"The box is going to be awesome. The games are going to be awesome. I heard this exact same argument last generation and it's a pointless argument, because people are debating things which they don't know about. They're not [head silicon engineer] Nick Baker or [corporate vice president of IEB hardware Todd Holmdahl], and I'm not [lead PS4 architect] Mark Cerny, so why are we having this discussion?" argued Penello.
"I feel like our games and experiences are going to be every bit as good, if not better, technically - on top of all the magic we're going to add with the instant switching, and the power of the cloud."

text: I'm looking to ride from Florida to Indiana and need some suggestions. The trip is 1,100 and I have been thinking about 100-150 miles a day. Maybe less in the hills of Tennesse. Does this seem reasonable? I have been training mainly by commuting 18 miles six times a week. I also make one or two rides a week about 30-40 miles. I plan to do at least one longer ride (200 miles in 2 days) before I go in the fall. My plan is to camp mostly. I plan to use a bivy tent. I'm use to camping using only a blanket next a fire so a bivy tent is a step up. I thought I would mainly buy my meals since the route is mostly cities. Credit cards weight a lot less than carrying food too. I'm using a Trek 7500 that I'm going to put rear panniers and a handle bar bag on. So does this sound like a reasonable plan? Any suggestions? Also, if anyone has done this route I'm up for suggestions.

Re: 'Star Trek XI' Teaser Official Release
Saw the trailer. The Enterprise looks a lot different. I can't help but think that if Gene was still alive he would use the latest special effects to bring his dream alive. I may hate the movie, but I'll wait until May 9th to decide that. I did see and hear a lot in the clip that makes me think J.J. is trying to be true to the basics of Gene's original vision. I really hope the suits at Paramount doesn't screw this up

Marcellus "Anybody is welcome, there are no requirements, we think of it as a 'community fellowship dinner,'" said Sarah Cox of the Loaves & Fishes Dinner put on by St. John's Episcopal Church in Marcellus.
The dinners were originally hosted once-a-month by St. John's, but the church has since invited other service groups to assist in the effort.
The next free Loaves & Fishes Dinner is Tuesday, Dec. 27, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at St. John's Church on Maple Street.
There is always a need for extra volunteers to help put on the dinner, and the members of the Marcellus Rotary pitched in to provide the free Loaves & Fishes Dinner on October 25. About 100 community members were able to share a hot meal thanks to the Rotary Club's efforts.
Cox has been working the dinners since they began in Marcellus in April 2009. The idea was sparked after a few parish members took a trip to Seneca Falls and discovered a free dinner was offered weekly for members of the community. St. John's members wondered if they could help their own community.
"I contacted a church in New Jersey and they were so helpful, they gave examples, ideas, tips, menus and that is how we were able to get started," Cox said.
Letters were sent to area grocery stores asking for donations, and the stores' managers gave their support.
Cox said the dinner used to have a menu, but now the menu changes based on what is donated by stores for each meal.
Dinners are not limited to serving fish, as the title of the event might suggest. 'Loaves and Fishes' references the Biblical story of when Jesus Christ fed 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. The main dish can sometimes be a surprise, but there is always a well-balanced meal complete with dessert the night of the dinner.
"There is a huge group of people who all pitch in, and we always make sure to have a well-balanced meal," Cox said.
The dinner has never fed less than 80 people, and Cox laughed about one hectic night when 150 people showed up. But Cox made it clear that all are welcome.
"We want our guests to feel welcomed and relaxed," she said.
Extra hands for cooking, prep work, serving food and cleanup are always welcome. To get involved, call Cox at 673-0833.

November 28, 2015
Three of the four Republican presidential candidates are addressing a major conservative gathering in Washington, giving them a high-profile stage to reshape their messages at a moment of uncertainty in the contest.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum rocked the Republican world this week by winning caucuses in Colorado and Minnesota, plus a nonbinding primary in Missouri.
His victories have raised new questions about Mitt Romney's ability to inspire conservatives, and about Newt Gingrich's claim to be the top alternative to Romney.
Santorum, Romney and Gingrich will separately address the annual Conservative Political Action Conference today. Rep. Ron Paul, whose libertarian leanings put him at odds with some mainstream conservatives, does not plan to attend.

Two 4-H members honored with Hulbert Award
By: Stephanie Breitbart, Journal Staff Writer
The recipients for the 2009 Hulbert Award for outstanding male and female members in Placer County 4-H were awarded to Jill Wippermann and Mark Doerner. Doerner, 18, has been in 4-H for the past 10-years and has received numerous awards and honors for his involvement in the club. He plays the violin, is active in karate and has been a leader in various 4-H and community events. Wippermann, 18, is a leader both in 4-H and at her job as a gymnastics coach. She plays the trumpet and piano and has a 4.15 GPA. Wippermann is also very involved in the community Thirteen candidates between the ages of 14 to 18 applied for the 15th annual Hulbert Award, all of whom showed excellence in civic and community activities, school and scholastic activities, 4-H activities and collaboration and cooperation with diverse groups of individuals, judges said. The candidates included Amanda Smoot, Jamie Chinn, Samantha Minton, Roseann Jorgensen, Erin Wippermann, Hannah Jolly, David Jolly, Michael Balaguy, Isaac Humber, Jordan Smith and Jacob Smith. A panel of five judges, including Rich Johnson, Christine Turner, Heber Brown, Ron Ravo and Stephanie Breitbart, interviewed each candidate on Friday in the final step before determining a winner. Wippermann and Doerner are both active volunteers in their community and church, have held multiple leadership positions in 4-H, are focused on their music, studies and helping others. They will each receive a scholarship for $2,500. June Stewart, 4-H program representative, said each student is more than deserving of this award. "This is a big goal and something they've worked on for many years … It's been a great experience," Stewart said. Turner agreed and said that the students should be very proud of where they are in life, "We hear about all the negative press coverage but to hear about these youth and their accomplishments is just amazing," Turner said. The late Laura and Neil Hulbert were strong supporters of youth activities and especially respected those involved in 4-H. They set up the scholarship to be awarded each year to students who have been outstanding participants in the 4-H program.

Chapter 1 : How to Get A Girl to Notice You
|Rating: 12+
|Chapter Reviews: 23
Background: Font color:
"Excuse me, I'd like to check out this book," Ron said to Madame Pince in the library.
Madame Pince read the cover and looked at him strangely. Ron was checking out a book called From Flirting to Fainting, How to Get a Girl to notice you. Ron thought it sort of contradicted itself; after all, fainting was before flirting in the alphabet. Oh, god, I'm starting to sound like Hermione. Ron thought. But if it would help get Hermione to notice him, then he would read it.
Ron walked out of the library and to the common room, hiding the book in his bag so nobody could see it.
"Hey, Fred," Ron said to Fred, who was reading a magazine.
"Hey, Ron. What're you up to?" Fred asked.
"Nothing much. I'm about to make up my Divination homework," Ron said, taking out some parchment and his Divination Book. "Wanna' help?"
Fred checked his watch. "Sorry, can't, I've got a class," he said, putting the magazine down on the table, then leaving.
Ron worked on his homework for a while and then decided to start reading the book. He picked up the magazine to cover it so nobody would know what he was really reading.
After a while of reading the book, Parvati walked up.
"What?" Ron asked her.
"What are you reading?" Parvati asked.
"I'm reading a magazine," Ron said, looking at her strangely.
Parvati walked away, angry.
A little while later, Ginny came up.
"What?" Ron asked her.
"What are you doing?" Ginny asked him.
"What does it look like I'm doing?"
"Urgh!" Ginny said, frustrated, then she walked away.
About five minutes later, Lavender came up and slapped him in the face.
"What was that for?" Ron asked.
"You should know why," Lavender said, and then walked away.
Harry, seeing all this commotion, came over and sat next to Ron.
"Hey, Ron," Harry said.
"Hey, Harry. I don't know what's wrong with all these girls today. It's like they've gone crazy." Ron said, and went back to reading the book.
Harry looked at the cover of the magazine and smiled. It was Playwizard.

To Olorin, you will see a night and day difference, although go with a x4 955BE ( save a few $)and after market hsf vendetta 2 or comparable. I went from a x2 6000 to the x4 940BE and it was a big difference.
Whiteangel, you'll see a difference in multi task but not all that exciting, depending on your budget try for a x4 955BE ddr2/ddr3, x4 940BE does ddr2 only or a x3 720BE ddr2/ddr3. If your in to gaming the a 4890 is a good budget card $180-200 max and packs a punch, 5770 packs less of a punch, if no gamiing most sale sub $100 card will do.
To both the BE version (black editions ) have unlocked multi so it's designed for easy overclocking, x4 940 and x4 955 should do 3.4ghz with ease.

Hi guys,
Been playing with this one for a while now and dont seem to be able to resolve so any help appreciated.
I have WP2.3 loaded with "Blue Box" theme loaded. By default the theme has a top navigation bar with Home as the first nav option. The home page has the blog on it by default. I have therfore created several other pages "about" and "projects" for example. If I set another page in admin to be the home page and call it Home I end up with 2 Home links on the nav menu. If I change the name to blog then both the blog and home links are the same.
I suppose I am asking how do you have a WP Dynamic home page but with the blog on a seperate page.
Thanks for any guidance.

Review: Shinobi (3DS)
Jan 24
// Darren Nakamura
Shinobi (3DS)Developer: Griptonite GamesPublisher: SEGAReleased: November 15, 2011MSRP: $39.99 I like difficult games -- I finished Super Meat Boy's Dark Cotton Alley, I've completed Bionic Commando Rearmed's Super Hard mode, and I reveled in Contra 4's punishing requirement of both memorization and reflexes. I say this not to brag but to provide a point of reference when discussing the difficulty of Shinobi. I almost gave up on this review entirely, because after wasting a few hours trying to complete the first level on the "Normal," I thought there would be no hope. I had to suck up my pride and drop down to the insultingly titled "Beginner" difficulty, and it was still a tough journey to reach the end credits. I don't know that Shinobi is necessarily more difficult than any of the aforementioned titles, but it definitely hangs onto a few obsolete ideas that today's difficult games tend to eschew. In contrast to the bite-sized levels seen in many modern challenging games, Shinobi presents fewer levels that can each take more than half an hour to complete. I tend to spend more time playing games with short levels, as there is no "just one more try" desire after being set back by 30 minutes. Again, a lot of the problem was solved by lowering the difficulty, as the Beginner mode affords the player infinite lives, offers more generous checkpoints, and decreases damage taken from attacks. The higher difficulty levels resemble old-school gaming at its worst, with finite lives and continues, after which a player is forced to start over from the beginning. The general gameplay in Shinobi is not far removed from its ancestors on the old 8-bit and 16-bit systems. At its heart, it's a 2D sidescroller with a focus on combat finesse and precision platforming. Your hero, Jiro Musashi, has at his disposal the standard double jump and wall jump as well as a small repertoire of melee and ranged attacks. Of the two main gameplay elements, combat is the more satisfying. Shinobi rewards the player for patience and timing rather than mindless button mashing. Going into battle with a wildly swinging sword will almost always result in an enemy counterattack. Instead, the player must predict the enemy's attack, parry it, and launch a counterattack when the enemy's defenses drop. While that sounds simple on paper, it takes quite a bit of getting used to. That said, once it clicks and the player can build up a high combo by emerging from several fights untouched, it really does instill the feeling of being a ninja. Boss fights follow a similar philosophy as fights with standard enemies. Attacks are telegraphed a split second before they are launched, and they can generally be parried and countered. While the bosses seemed difficult at first, none are cheap; with some practice, it is not unreasonable to finish a boss fight without taking damage. In contrast to the combat, the platforming is weak. The controls are fine, and there is a lot of nuance involved in jumping to exactly the location intended, but the main problem is that it just doesn't come up often enough. Platforming sections that really test the player's skill take a back seat to combat sections, so the player doesn't get nearly as much practice. In addition, there are some unfortunate level design choices, like sudden pitfalls and spikes that are just out of sight before making a jump. A more zoomed-out camera during platforming sections could have maintained the necessity for skillful jumping while eliminating the cheap deaths that aren't really the fault of the player. In keeping with the old-school design, the story in Shinobi ranges from nonsensical to nonexistent. From the anime cutscenes between levels, I gather that it is about a ninja from the 13th century who gets transported forward through time 800 years to fight things. Over the course of the game, the player finds himself riding on top of speeding cars, exploring an undersea laboratory, ad navigating the inside of a volcano, all with little to no explanation of how or why he is doing it. So while story is unimportant, gameplay is king. Knowing this, the developers added in a substantial amount of bonus content. There are Achievements, each with their own rewards that can be as little as cosmetic bonuses, such as alternate costumes or weapons, or as big as a full boss rush or other challenge levels that really put the player's skills to the test. It's impressive how much extra content there is to find in Shinobi, though how much the player actually sees depends heavily on how much time and effort he is willing to invest. Shinobi is a great game with tons to do. Some of the old-school elements are sure to turn many players off, but if you can surmount the steep difficulty curve, there is a substantial amount of satisfying gameplay to be found. Those who want a cohesive narrative or who can't afford to endure a few hours of frustration should look elsewhere, but those who can make it past the hump can wring out a lot of fun.
It has been nearly 10 years since we were last put into the sandals of an Oboro Clan shinobi, the last game of which was well received despite (or perhaps because of) its high difficulty. Though it brought the series into the...

E3: Jimpressions of Shinobi 3DS
Jun 12
// Jim Sterling
Shinobi 3DS does a terrific job of bringing back the old school feeling of the Shinobi series, where methodical progress and well-timed movements are key to victory. The most important move is the Parry, which will be needed to fend off the attacks of enemies. Failure to master the parry command will result in death. Like the old games, opposing Ninja will duck and jump while tossing knives at you. Your Parry only defends for a second, so you'll need to time your movements with the enemy perfectly before unleashing your own attacks. This consideration of enemy movement, and knowing when to parry, move and attack, leads to a game that more modern players may not appreciate due to its slower pace. Shinobi fans will feel right at home, though. Shinobi 3DS is definitely more forgiving than its Genesis ancestors. The player can absorb a lot more damage before facing death, and health items are a bit more liberally spread than before. Nevertheless, the game still puts up a good fight, especially with some of the tricky environmental navigation. Spikes and pitfalls continually threaten the player's life, and you'll need some quick reflexes to utilize the grappling hook, wall-jump and avoid all manner of traps. For the most part, the controls worked well enough, but I did find a few commands sluggish, especially the wall-jumping. The protagonist could do with being a little more responsive, but it's certainly not a dealbreaker. Graphically, the game is certainly not the best looking on the 3DS, but it's got a really excellent use of color and a stylized, cartoon-like appearance that I found quite endearing. The game's magic attacks are especially impressive, and really pop out at you with the 3D slider on. The minimalist approach to visuals won't impress everybody, but I think it helps make the game look pretty unique. I found Shinobi 3DS' demo pretty enjoyable. It wasn't a stunning revelation but it was a fun sidescroller with a very welcome respect for the series' eighties/nineties roots. It throws up familiar enemies, a cool horse-riding section, and the kind of thoughtful action gaming that we haven't seen since ... well, since Shinobi's heyday, I suppose. So yeah, I guess I liked it!
My love for Shinobi is palpable. I had one of those six-in-one Genesis cartridges as a kid, and The Revenge of Shinobi was one of the most played titles on the collection. I was never a big fan of the series' move to 3D last ...

Shinobi 3DS (Nintendo 3DS)Developer: Griptonite GamesPublisher: SegaRelease date: Fall 2011 It's been awhile since we've seen a Shinobi game, and rather than try to reinvent the classic, Sega's aiming more at a modernization of some core concepts. The idea is to keep the classic Shinobi feel and gameplay -- the side-scrolling action combat and platforming -- with a host of gameplay twists and features for a new generation. What this means is that it plays as you'd expect, with a heavy emphasis on the use of throwing knives (which seem to be in unlimited supply) and close-combat with a katana. The action is swift, with repeated presses of the A button resulting in a combination of slashing strikes. The brisk, nimble ninja can also slide, coming up and out of the maneuver with an upward slice of his blade to eviscerate enemies. A full range of ninja magic will be making its return, as well. Using it is as simple as tapping the L button, unlike some other handheld ninja titles that had you tracing Kanji characters on the touch screen. (I'm looking at you Ninja Gaiden:Dragon Sword; I want to burn up some baddies with ninja fire, not write a letter.) The touch screen did come into play for switching between the magics, which in this early demo consisted of the basic fire, lightning, and wind. While quick to go on the offensive, ninjas do just as well playing it safe on defense. Unfortunately, our shinobi can't directly block attacks, but has been given a parry which I found to be largely useful in most situations. By tapping the R button at the correct time, I was able to effortlessly deflect incoming strikes, leaving enemies open for brutalizing with my ninja steel. Platforming will also play a pretty big role in Shinobi 3DS, if my short demo is any indication. I ran into a number of tricky spots that required well-timed wall jumps to evade spikes traps, and moved from ground to rooftops with a grappling hook. I was only able to see part of the game's first level, which was a village being engulfed in flames as enemy ninja and samurai attacked. Visually, Shinobi 3DS is shaping up pretty well, with a decent range of color and visual effects that bring the 2.5D action to life. 3D effects on or off, it didn't make all that much of a different for these side-scrolling bits. Sega did reveal that over-the-should third-person action sections where you're "moving into the screen" would make it into the mix, which should lend itself well to the 3D effect. From the sound of things, Griptonite is hoping to pack Shinobi 3DS with a ton of content. It's promising over 60 in-game achievements, each of which will unlock something that players can use, view or wear. The classic ninja star throwing mini-game will also be making a return… in mind-blowing 3D! I was also promised an After Burner-inspired jet ride, and at least one massive, wet-dream-inspiring battle against a cyborg shark. At this early stage, Shinobi 3DS seems like a fair mixture of old-school with enough fresh ideas to keep things compelling. I did find the controls to feel a bit on the lose side, at least compared to the tight action of the sprite-based Shinobi games of old. A lot of that may have to do with the fact that we were only able to use the circle pad to control the ninja (which, by the way, Sega did confirm is the father of Joe Musashi form the original Shinobi titles). This will change, with the option to also use the d-pad making the final cut, something I suspect will change how I feel about the game's controls. Shinobi 3DS is out this fall, and I'm hoping Sega brings that cyborg shark to E3.
The rumors are true! Sega's Shinobi franchise is making its return this fall with the cleverly titled Shinobi 3DS. Not a port or a remake, the title is being built from the ground up for the Nintendo 3DS with developer Gripto...

The Maryland chapter of the NAACP is calling for a federal investigation into a Maryland State Department of Education program for juvenile offenders.
In a complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights and the Department of Justice, the chapter says youths in state detention centers and residential facilities are being denied an adequate education.
"Our complaint focuses on the failure to provide the appropriate educational services to which these students were entitled, but of which they were deprived in violation of state and federal laws and regulations," NAACP chapter President Gerald Stansbury said in a statement.

This week, TIME magazine released its annual 100 most influential people in the world list. Included in the impressive list this year, were six professional athletes including New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow.
My first reaction was yes, Tebow is controversial and polarizing but really, influential?
TIME wrote the following about its athletes' section:
"If an athlete makes you cheer, he or she is influencing your life. If an athlete offers an escape, that escape is indeed influential in your life. If an athletes inspires – well, that's the definition of influence, right? World-class athletes, by nature, are influential, especially in today's media-saturated world. They are objects of our intrigue, on a 24-7 basis."
Ok, so as I looked at Tebow, I thought to myself, does he make me cheer? Nope.
Does he offer an escape? Nope, not to me. But if he endured a broken heart, showed anger in the heat of the moment or played an off-the-charts NFL game then we might talk escape.
And no, his fourth quarter miracles don't count.
Does he inspire me? Well, not so much. I believe he's a mediocre quarterback at best. I think his statistics paint this picture.
Then he has his charitable efforts under the umbrella of his Tebow Foundation. They're admirable but I wouldn't say they are influential.
What is the Tebow Foundation? According to the website, "The Foundation utilizes the public platform that God has blessed Tim Tebow with to inspire and make a difference in peoples lives throughout the world."
I don't know about you, but I am not really sure what that means.
So, the question may now be if I don't think Tebow is influential, then who I do I think should be on this list? Here's one thought: Jamie Moyer.
The 49-year-old (plus 150 days) MLB player now sits in the history books as the oldest pitcher to win a ball game. The Colorado Rockies lefty pitcher achieved this on April 17, surpassing the previous record set in 1932.
Does this make me cheer? Yep. This is impressive on so many levels including Moyer's passion to keep playing, his mental and physical state and his humbleness.
Does this offer an escape? Yep.
Does he inspire me? Yep. But the answer really comes from recent Sunday morning news story about The Moyer Foundation.
What is this foundation about? The website notes, "The mission of The Moyer Foundation is to empower children in distress by providing education and support – helping them to live healthy and inspired lives."
It further explains, " The Moyer Foundation supports programs that directly serve critical needs of children in severe distress. Since its inception, The Moyer Foundation has raised millions of dollars to help support hundreds of different programs that help children in distress in a variety of ways."
After watching the grieving children who have lost siblings and parents was heartbreaking. To have a camp as an outlet for kids all suffering from this similar tragedy was influential to me in this so-called "media-saturated world."

"I am impressed not only by the simplicity of the furniture, but also by the objects in the room," Spadaro writes.
The most profound truths are often the simplest ones, and Wallace was a genius at revealing the simplicity of profundity.
The media adore the storyline for its simplicity and the conflict narrative it presents.
But the problem is aggravated immeasurably by the simplicity of current-day pop music.

"I must speak to Isy about it," answered James with simplicity.
Yet something new, inexplicable, thwarted her and changed the simplicity of her passion.
Presently he was speaking with a simplicity and openness that he had not yet used with Katherine.
The bluntness of Lizzie's speech disconcerted him, and yet the simplicity of it reassured him.
He thought in his simplicity that there was some truth in the statement.
late 14c., "singleness of nature, unity, indivisibility; immutability," from Old French simplicite (12c., Modern French simplicité), from Latin simplicitatem (nominative simplicitas) "state of being simple, frankness, openness, artlessness, candor, directness," from simplex (genitive simplicis) "simple" (see simplex). Sense of "ignorance" is from c.1400; that of "simplicity of expression, plainness of style" is early 15c.
Middle English also had simplesse, from French, attested in English from mid-14c. in sense "humility, lack of pride," late 14c. as "wholeness, unity;" c.1400 as "ignorance."

Well, if you speed up the tape with "tape speed manipulation" in order to also increase the pitch, then the sped-up dialog wouldn't match the actor's lips. I still don't get how you speed up the sound without speeding up the sound.
At percentages like 5-10% it wouldn't be noticable. It's not like a chipmunks record where the pitch shift is that drastic.
Well, I'm not a physicist and I'm not much of a musician, but I think increasing the voice by exactly one octave would require the tape speed to be exactly doubled. How many octaves' difference do you think there are between Throne's original Keeper voice in "The Cage" and the new higher-pitched Keeper voice from "The Menagerie?"
The Chipmunks were pitched exactly one octave. As you can hear, that is a drastic change of pitch. With the Keeper, we're talking a few semitones at best. You'd be amazed at how much that changes someone's voice.
Throne's original Keeper voice isn't shifted at all. That's his performance. You can hear that tonality when he speaks as Commodore Mendez, but speed that up just a little bit, and then you get the Keeper we know from the Menagerie.

Soleil Moon Frye cradling baby Lyric Sonny Roads last month. / Michael Tran, FilmMagic
She, or her parents, were pioneering when it came to the recent phenomenon known as the (to be charitable) unusual celebrity sobriquet.
So it makes sense that Soleil Moon Frye would follow suit with her own brood. Joining big sisters Poet and Jagger, as per the actress' website today? Baby brother Lyric Sonny Roads Goldberg, born Feb. 9. (Dad is Soleil's husband, the comparatively pedestrian-sounding Jason Goldberg.)
Of course, Frye, 37, has never been one to shy from, uh, memorable monikers. Her '80s alter ego? Small-screen scrapper Punky Brewster.

The exhilarating smell of breakfast greeted Baldwinsville Christian Academy (BCA) students Friday April 15 upon entering school, but not everyone would partake in this treat.
Mrs. Marnita Neuman, the K4 through K5 teacher at BCA, had a special day planned for her students and their parents - an Easter breakfast celebration. Parents and younger siblings enjoyed eating cinnamon rolls, fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, eggs and chocolate chip pancakes with real maple syrup. Smiles and joy were evident on all that attended.
The breakfast was followed by an Easter video. BCA is thankful for teachers who pursue excellence and creative ways of teaching students.

Since when is land held by a public entity like a school board awarded as if
this was a popularity contest?
It is ridiculous to suggest that the land be awarded to the religious institution that will have the most folks using it. Obviously the majority religion in Utah would get the land awarded every time because the deck is stacked. Seems neither fair nor equitable to do it that way.

If everyone knows that an associated facility is going to go next to the school, it is not smart to ignore the fact. Planning for safety, pedestrian access etc, when they know released time exists, is simply watching out for students: which is what schools are supposed to do. Everyone knows that an LDS seminary has been built next to every high school in the area, ignoring that fact does not make one progressive. If other religions were doing the same (and some are, but Summan never has), it makes no sense to ignore them either. Government should not promote religion - but ignoring it under some phony guise of faux tolerance is not cool either. If any church made their needs known BEFORE tha planning process, there should be no problem accomodating them as long as they paid their own way, there was no favoratism and it did not interference with the schools primary function.

@richard larson
how exactly did the SLC school board do what you claim again? They allowed an after school club for the LGBT students. One of many such clubs for many different type of groups including religious groups. The LGBT clubs did not have land set aside for them, they have the same restrictions as any other club and every other group has the same rights and restrictions in setting up their own group. Not hardly the same thing sorry.

Let's separate mormon seminary from school. Physically, and temporally. Make the school day about school, and churchin' can be done offsite, during non school hours. You want church brownie points? Go to church. You want school credit? Go to SCHOOL.

Pipe Organ Encounter Scholarship Assistance
Limited scholarship aid is available to cover full or partial registration fee for attending a POE. Scholarship applications are reviewed monthly beginning in February. The application is available Jan. 15 through April 15 each year and asks questions of both the student and her/his parent(s), and also requires a letter of recommendation from the student's organ or piano teacher. Both forms must be submitted before the POE Scholarship Committee can review a student application. The application deadline for 2016 POE events is April 15, 2016 (12:00 midnight the close of that day). Scholarship awards are based on financial need. Links to online application forms for 2016 events will appear here in January, 2016.

Possible upcoming submarine eruption in the Canary Islands.
Since 12:40 UTC, a strong tremor signal and many stronger quakes have been recorded. A series of about 10 strong volcanic quakes (probably well >M2.5) occurred between about 13:00-13:10. Magma is moving again, but we have to wait to see the location of the quakes.
A new press release by the government admits that deformation of the island due to magma pressure is strong. It was kindly translated by Earthquake-Report:
"We have observed a deformation of the entire island. The center of the deformation originates in the present earthquakes area.
The energy release and ground deformation show an acceleration of the active magmatic process on the island of El Hierro, according to information forwarded by the National Geographic Institute at the direction of the Civil Protection Plan for Volcanic risk (PEVOLCA)
The total cumulative displacement from 24 June to 24 hours yesterday, is about 3-4 cm in the horizontal components and 4-5 cm in the vertical component.
