Interview: Gore Verbinski on Bringing Leone and Realism to 'Rango'

Gore Verbinski's Rango is not a spoof or satire of westerns. It is, in fact, a genuine western. Keeping that in mind, Verbinski hasn't made an animated film with modern "of-the-moment" pop-culture references and a wacky hip soundtrack. Rango is no Shrek or Madagascar. The archetypes, the story, the score (courtesy of Hans Zimmer) and style is...

Found the solution...basically the permissions are not automatically cascaded down to sub folders and files so you have to do the following... modified fromhttps://discussions.apple.com/thread/2743520?start=0&tstart=0
On the folder that you would like to change, select the Get Info and then click on the cogwheel at the bottom of the Get Info dialog.
Click on the menu pick "Apply to enclosed items ..." and confirm the warning message.
Then the same read & write permissions are applied to all the subfolders of the selected folder.

text: On August 10, 1972, a large meteorite skipped across the atmosphere above the western United States and western Canada, much like a stone skipped across water. The accompanying fireball was so bright that it could be seen in the daytime sky and was brighter than the usual meteorite trail. The meteorite's mass was about 4.5 x 106 kg; it's speed was about 18 km/s. Had it entered the atmosphere vertically, it would have hit Earth's surface with about the same speed. (a) Calculate the meteorite's loss of energy (as a positive number, in joules) that would have been associated with the vertical impact. (b) Express the energy as a multiple of the explosive energy of 1 megaton of TNT, which is 4.2 x 1015 J. (c) The energy associated with the atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima was equivalent to 13 kilotons of TNT. To how many Hiroshima bombs would the meteorite impact have been equivalent?

I dont know if this was already a thing, but apparently Vesta can sense the Quilava? Was that previously established?
Secondly, I would suggest having either Vesta or Jasmine attack the Gate and enter the Bell Tower. It appears that normally intelligent Pokemon, such as Ghosts/Legendaries/etc. become self aware during the Dreaming. And, since the Tower is supposedly home to Ho-oh and a passing place for the Legendary Trio of Johto, I'd say its worth checking out.

ZeePee-Creepies -SAHARA- by VivzMindWatch

shes prolly one of the most Halloween-spirited of my characters, so decided to draw her extra witch-y for Halloweenz! <3
OOOOO, she's wearing an ankh. Very nice detail.
Cool! Your artstyle is beatiful😄!
It's a shame she sucks at magic. She'd be pretty intimidating otherwise.
Feedback: I love her design, but maybe make her clothes a different shade to her hair to avoid odd clashes?? <3
This is like the Cameron vision from The Anniversary of Son of The Devil.
It realy does suck when you have a high story and fleshed out characters and you have to completely let the ideas simmer away because someone else is doing it better. I have a story for a series about a world of anthrophomorphic animals, mythological creatures and humans, they deal with bith the supernatural and everyday drama. I also wanted there to be a lot of focus on the adults as compared to the kids because sooooo few stories centerd in a school ever focus on teachers. I guess I have to go back to my other stories. Who knows, maybe can reincarnet some of those old ideas to fresh page.
Bad witch
I really want to see more of her!!
Hubble bubble toil and trouble.
you know, I definitely remember seeing her in one of the pages of Zoophobia.
She's one of my most liked ZeePees!!

One of the smallest of the Monoanticherans native to the island of Thalassia, the Zahnquirls are most famously known for their bizarre lower jaws. Not unlike a buzz saw in appearance, this component of the first head - when not utilized in sexual display - is used for slicing through the flesh of their prey with a saw-like motion, cutting off strips small enough for their secondary heads to consume. Said secondary heads also possess an unusual appearance; bearing a similar structure to that of the unrelated Fututoriformes, the presence of claw-like structures aid them in gripping small prey such as Trikes and Picozoans, which make up over 60% of their diets.
Zahnquirls are social hunters, forming organized groups, or more accurately harems, as they consist primarily of females with a sole male at the head. In order to take down larger prey such as the various Bounderjaws, they rely primarily on ambush tactics, with one member chasing the targeted prey towards it's pack mates. During the mating season, males will attempt to defend their mates by scaring off potential rivals by displaying their lower jaws prominently. While violence is often avoided as typically the ones with larger jaws win, it is not uncommon to find individuals with severely scarred hides.

So yesterday I talked to my dd's advocate in the Special Ed. department. DD is 8 (3rd grade) and broke down crying when she saw me. I know I'm her comfort zone. This year she is having a harder time holding it together.
Her advocate suggested that we come up with some system that discretely lets the teacher know she's upset or needs a break. It could be a clip that she moves on the wall or whatever but a way that she doesn't have to say it out loud in front of the other kids. The teacher could then give her a break.
I don't know if dd would go for this. We've been working on self soothing but she often doesn't seem capable of saying "hey i'm going to lose it and i need help".
This is why I'm looking for her to go back into OT therapy on self regulation. She is going to be 9 and I feel she has to learn how so she can regulate her own body.
Any advice?

6 thoughts on "Report: White Sox looking to trade Matt Thornton"
send em 10 mill and a clay bellinger autographed jersey…done
Last year, his numbers took a pretty fair dip from his previous 3, but they were still pretty good. If the guy is in good shape, this might be a good deal. My guess is $12m for a Reliever won't sit well with Cashman, as he has been dwon that road before. There will have to be some 'eating of salary' on the Sox end.
How much would you pay to get this guy?
Thorton is very much needed…….especially in Mo retires and Soriano opts out at the end of 2012.
In 2010 the Yankees were bad in the 6th inning but good in the 7th. Last year they were great at limiting runs in the 6th but sucked badly in the 7th. If Joba comes back healthy and we can replace Logan with Thorton our pen could really be solid next year.
Thorton isn't a luxury but a real need an I hope the Yankees get him.
This is the kind of move the Yankees should make all day long; get a talented older player on a short deal for a bag of balls because he's being paid well by a team looking to trim payroll. Thorton could be the dominant lefty the Yankees haven't really had since Stanton or Lloyd, and the only downside is his salary (which isn't really that crazy nowadays at $6 million for 2 years). Get on the phone Cashman!
I hate to be a debbie downer, but: I don't think that there is any chance Thornton gets traded for a bag of balls. There is serious demand for the skills he brings to the table, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see Chicago get something reasonable for him in return (on top of the full salary relief).
hees good sadly too good . its just not worth giving up what he is worth. and since the white sox can sped some money they wont just take a decent prospect to trade like the rays or royals
also (swear not trying to advertise) but have you guys played simdynasty. people who are this into baseball usually like it

Board will come with the original (slightly worn) 16.5cm MFC fins and also have a set of excellent condition K4 17cm fins I will include at this price (as pictured).
Fantastic test winning twin fin, much has been written about it! See yes below, newer graphics but same shape.
I bought this as an introduction to multi fin boards and it really has been great. Quick, responsive and fun to sail.

Seoul-based cinematographer and photographer Nils Clauss put together a new film highlighting the works of esteemed sculptor and installation artist Do Ho Suh. Suh's site-specific pieces play with the boundaries of identity and revolve around the physical and metaphorical malleability of space, whether that's captivating viewers into monochromatic structures made of thin translucent fabrics or putting them on edge with houses teetering off the roof of a building.

Clauss' mini film highlights Suh's "Perfect Home" exhibition at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan from 2012-2013.

Whether you're a diehard Miesian fan or could care less about the modernist architecture canon, we've heard of ol' Farnsworth time and time again since its completion in 1951 in Plano, Illinois. But Chicago-based artists Petra Bachmaier and Sean Gallero of Luftwerk want the public to see the historic Farnsworth House in a whole new light — literally — with their digital installation project called INsite.

INsite highlights the house's characteristic clean lines through site-specific digital video projections and original music compositions, thus rendering it into a new structure of light, sound, and space. In addition to recent preservation efforts to protect the Farnsworth from more floodwater damage in the future, INsite could help revive public interest in an eye-catching way that is suitable for these tech-friendly times.

Illuminating modern architecture landmarks is nothing new for Gallero and Bachmaier, who have collaborated with video designer and programmer Liviu Pasare and co...

This will be an opportunity for those already engaged with architecture to re-imagine their talents in more conceptual explorations and a way for the public to engage with architecture in a format they may have never experienced.

 Annika Hagen, Nicole Fox and Tyler Greentree of LAMP (Lighting Architecture Movement Project) from Vancouver, BC will be hosting their first annual LAMP event--a live design installation exhibition and creative challenge--on Thursday, Oct. 3 at the Woodwards Atrium.

 LAMP invited four local architectural designers to participate in this one-night gala event. Bryn Davidson, Jorge Siemsen, Oliver Neumann + Cristian Schmitt, and Simon Montgomery were each given a thematic word to reinterpret and lighting packages to incorporate into their projects, and were assigned site-specific areas within the Woodwards Atrium. Other than that, they have complete freedom over their projects. The designers were given three months to create their pieces and have two days to install them in the Atrium. Then on the evening of Oct. 3, the results will be on display for the public to interact with and experience.

"It is amazing to realize you could walk around the site not knowing if there is a body underneath you," Nelson said. "How do you commemorate that?"

 Of the approximately 200 people buried at Saar Pioneer Cemetery, there are 89 unmarked graves, each unable to inform visitors of their presence and the role they played in Kent history. Collaborative artists Frances Nelson and Bradly Gunn seek to mark the unmarked by creating a series "thresholds" to walk under and pass through, as an acknowledgement of the final resting place of Kent's founding pioneers.

Go on. Good beer doesn't come from a can. Cans are for MGD, or worse (in my opinion), girly beers with a hint of raspberry
Go on. Good beer doesn't come from a can. Cans are for MGD, or worse (in my opinion), girly beers with a hint of raspberry.
When I saw the new green cans of Oskar Blues Brewery's "Gordon," a micro brewed gem that lands somewhere between a deep Irish red and an IPA, stacked up so nicely near the registers at the new Whole Foods, I had to try one, both because the decision was between that and knocking the whole artful display over (it was so tempting) and because I can't typically buy a single can of (presumably good) beer.
Gordon is just what's promised on the can: big, red, and sticky. It's a rich, full-bodied beer with plenty of hops. And it's a winner for St. Patrick's day: green graphics, big Irish attitude, and a can you can smash on your forehead when you're done.
Now tell me: if packaging beer in cans really does keep out the light and preserve the flavor better than bottles, what would be so bad about buying, say, Hale's Cream Ale in a nitrogen-dispensed can a la Guinness? I'd go for it.
Find Oskar Blues beer at Whole Foods, Ballard Market, Central Market, Fred Meyer, and QFC.

runtime.js is an open-source library operating system for the cloud that runs JavaScript, could be bundled up with an application and deployed as a lightweight and immutable VM image.
It's built on V8 JavaScript engine and uses event-driven and non-blocking I/O model inspired by Node.js. At the moment KVM is the only supported hypervisor.
Example index.js:

How does it work?
There are two main components: operating system (OS) kernel and a
The kernel is the C++ program that manages low-level resources like CPU and memory, runs applications using embedded
Application, its dependencies and the core library are bundled up using Browserify, then packed into ramdisk image for kernel to use.
runtime.js is a library operating system, because application uses it as its own dependency (library). Internal architecture is similar to exokernels, where system exposes the hardware to application code and forces as few abstractions as possible.

hey you can see my quarters from here it is the 32nd window down and 98th to the right.
what the clones don't realize is that they are sacrificing the droids so the clones won't turn around to see the O MY GOD THERE IS A BIG *** BOLDER HEADING STRAIGHT FOR US!!!!
nice opening phrase
yea sad indead
sorry havent been on a while, the plus and minus is called a karma good and bad karma. they gave me bad karma because i said i was American.
finally a natural smile that makes it look like your happy best photo yeat
hey that is 1 more thing you can cross off the to do list.
cool frame by the way.
WOW....... 2 thumbs way way up for the heroes that made this mod.
im sorry you are going to make a hole new engine for a prototype model that o my god got destroyed by a simple set of bombers? lets not forget that with all of those guns in the front they decide to run away even though they have such a thick armor that the 3 venators cant destroy it? sorry that was probably more geared towards the episodes.
but seriously on a prototype i would use the engine that we have the most supply on (unless of course the engines is the prototype that they are testing). Good looking model though.
i think that since they desided to end the series that they ended with the little guy stepped up to the plate.
but seriously though im thinking that a movie is going to finish off the series that answers the fate of ElI and probably get them all back to earth safe and sound.
i want an open tank with someone jumping in every 20 seconds. how else so we get super villians for marvel? :)
seriously though the closed 1 is way better. plus the textures that make it actually used a bit instead of BRAND NEW PAINT JOB FOR THE WIN!!!! what are people thinging about when they make a model that always has to have a item just out of a factory.
ok get close to the end
3:10 and there you go
O come on what the hell happened on katys profile that is making everyone hate Americans all of a sudden!?
why am i getting all the bad karma all of a sudden. what did i miss
it looks very interesting lets see how this goes. i hope you keep the project alive it does sound really interesting.
if you get a paddlin. that's a paddlin!
love the detail on the engine glow and bridge work. i can almost make out the people driving that thing.
WHOS DRIVING THIS THING!?!?!? o right that would be me.
o yea now i would love to use that!!
very nice, i like the idea of gun batteries and a radar dish. maybe have the batteries be flak.
ok why are Americans bad?
i agree with maybe boring but i am not dull
um i think it came from elderscrolls first
man those crossbowman look sick (good way). no pun intended
i dare you to maneuver in that fire fight with a al'kesh
that is 1 nice looken house

Strauss wants perfect five
England are targeting an unprecedented 5-0 one-day international whitewash of Australia, after wrapping up the NatWest Series with two matches still to play.
Andrew Strauss' reinvigorated team had to dig deep at Old Trafford yesterday to scramble the winning runs they needed to go 3-0 up, eventually getting home by a solitary wicket.
Nonetheless, having previously been coy about the prospect of winning every match against the old enemy this summer, an emboldened Strauss has dared to voice the ambition publicly to complete the sequence with wins at the Brit Oval and Lord's this week.
Should England do so, it will be significant revenge for last September's 6-1 home defeat by Australia in the corresponding series - and it would take their run of ODI victories against all opposition to 10 out of 10.
Some are contending too that it will give them a major psychological advantage over Australia for next winter's Ashes.
Strauss does not buy that - but is enthused about England's prospects in a sub-continental World Cup early next year.
"I don't think we can read much into the Ashes in such a radically different format of the game," he said.
"But for the World Cup, I think it [a 5-0 victory] would instil us with a huge amount of confidence.
"We're aiming for it - we're in a great position to do that now. We don't want to take our foot off the gas."
Strauss' 87 carried England to the brink of victory yesterday, when their success provided some consolation for a nation so disappointed by their team's exit from the football World Cup at the hands of Germany.
If there are any concerns for England's cricketers, though, they must surely surround two significant wobbles with victory in sight - first at the SWALEC Stadium and, more dramatically, at Old Trafford.
They had moved into an impregnable position both times, only to lose three late wickets for 19 in Cardiff and then a calamitous six for 18 in Manchester.
But Strauss is not worried, disagreeing with his opposite number Ricky Ponting's suggestion that England may be a little light on frontline batsmen.
"The specialist batters have done a pretty good job up to the 40-over mark," he said. "The challenge is just to get the job done in those last 10 overs.
"I don't think we've been that exposed, other than being the architects of our own downfall in the back-end of the game.
"It's just a case of us taking responsibility a bit more and making sure we're not out at the end to see the boys home."
Strauss can speak with confidence about his own form but knows he needs to keep producing, just like everyone else.
"There is personal satisfaction in getting a score that leads to victory," he added.
"But it's not about proving myself - that's not the way I'm seeing it at the moment - it's about everyone doing a job for this England side.
"My job is to captain and bat, so all I can do is keep playing and captaining the side as well as I can. I hope that will be good enough to remain in the side."
Among England's bowlers, Graeme Swann rightly took the plaudits yesterday for his four wickets - albeit on a spinner's pitch - and Strauss also had high praise for James Anderson.
The Lancashire fast bowler was disappointed not to play in the ICC World Twenty20 success last month, but his ODI captain said: "He's been excellent.
"He's bowling well and has contributed a lot to the squad both on and off the pitch - and probably had a little bit of a point to prove, after being left out of the World Twenty20."
Anderson was relatively expensive in Cardiff but has picked up wickets at all three venues so far, and was rewarded for a fine new-ball spell yesterday with three late successes on his return.
An apparently fragile top order had earlier fallen to spin, and Strauss believes England have Australia's batsmen right where they want them.
"Their batting unit looks under a bit of pressure," he said. "That's credit to the way we've bowled at them.
"I wouldn't pick out one player in particular; I think as a unit, they've often been four or five wickets down before they want to be - and that's always hard work to come back from."
Ponting can hardly argue with that sort of assessment, based on evidence to date. But he is encouraged by England's own apparent susceptibility to collapse.
"We've felt right through the series that if we're able to take some early wickets and expose the (Luke) Wrights and (Mike) Yardys and those guys, and get them in reasonably early, we'd have a good chance," he said.

This review is from: Sharp R-426LS 1.4 cu. ft. 1100W Sensor Countertop Microwave, Family Size
Pros: This microwave has a larger interior and is able to hold 12" plates. The Sensor cook is nice. The covered buttons make the unit more attractive.
Cons: It is taking me a while to get used to the location of the keypad. THE TIMER IS NOT LOUD ENOUGH. A DOG WOULD HAVE TROUBLE HEARING THE TIMER ALARM GO OFF IF SHE/HE WERE SITTING BESIDE THE OVEN.

I Love this microwave
This review is from: Sharp R-426LS 1.4 cu. ft. 1100W Sensor Countertop Microwave, Family Size
Pros: This microwave looks sharp and cooks quickly. 1100watts means you need only about 1min for most left-over reheating tasks. It's defrost is fast and the pre-programmed settings are great.
Cons: The buttons being on the inside of the door can be irritating for some people and can take a while to get used to, but i love the clean look. Plus pushing the start button with the door closed starts it cooking with a 1 min timer so the buttons aren't even necessary for many cooking tasks.
Other Thoughts: After 7 or 8 years of owner ship the most frequently used buttons have just lost functionality. the one and the two no longer work. I am not upset this microwave has more than made up for its cost over the years. When i replace it it will no be with the same model as my significant other is not a fan of the button placement. However i will be sad to see it go.

Select Academy will be offered to boys and girls in the U-8, U-10, U-12 and U-14 age groups that desire a more challenging soccer environment and a higher level of competition. Select Academy teams will compete with other Chattanooga Soccer Associations and teams from the surrounding area. Select Academy teams will practice twice a week in a more intense and challenging format. Each team will play an 8 game season that will be refereed by higher level officials and fees cover the cost of these games. At the conclusion of the fall season 2014 we will compete in the Select Academy Jamboree hosted by Redoubt on the weekend of October 4th. Select Academy teams will compete in an area wide tournament. Select Academy teams will stay together for a full year (fall and spring seasons/indoor if desired). This being our first season of Select Academy we will have some unforeseen conflicts. However, we will deal with them as honestly and fairly as possible.
Select Academy teams will be registered with Division 3 of the Tennessee State Soccer Association. You may find information on this at tnsoccer.org. Teams need to select a manager along with the coach to help with the required paperwork and player cards.
PLAYER REGISTRATION: Players interested in playing Select Academy must first register as a Select Academy Tryout portion of registration and attend an evaluation offered at the beginning of the fall season or spring. Please do not sign up for both recreational soccer and Select Academy when reregistering online. Register through the website or during a walk up registration session (dates and locations provided below). Tryouts will be held for the Select Academy teams. If you are offered to play Select Academy an additional fee (over and above Rec fee) will be required, and an acceptance email will be sent to you to complete your registration. The cost to play will be $160 per season per player plus the cost of your uniform ($50 to $60). Therefore the initial cost for a season will be in the range of $210 to $230 depending on your uniform package. Also, your team may decide to travel to a tournament. A player may only play Select Academy or Recreational soccer.
COACHES: Select Academy teams will have the benefit of having a professional coach along with a game day coach throughout the season. Each week one practice will be run by a professional coach. The second practice and game will be run by volunteer coach approved by the DOC and Select Academy coordinator.
Additional Information About Select Academy:
1. You will have a coach that is licensed through the U.S.S.F.(United States Soccer Federation)….. or N.S.C.A.A. (National Soccer Coaches Association of America). If not they will be currently working on a license.

3. Teams will train with professional coaches on 1 night a week along with the professional coaches leading the pool.
4. This is a fantastic opportunity for former CFCA players, School Players to keep their fitness and skills advanced and players that want to see what more competitive soccer is like while experiencing a more competitive soccer environment than recreational soccer.

Business has always been social. That became apparent to the academic research world back in the 1980s, when office automation was all the rage. In addition to the upsurge in productivity analysis to prove the value of word processors and the like, we saw an influx of anthropologists coming into the office to observe and report on what they saw. They had a lot to say about workflow and formal work processes. As forms began to move on-line, they watched how remaining paper forms were passed from hand-to-hand, and noted how much of the "work" was done in adjustments to the flow from a brief conversation at the hand-off. As spreadsheets were transferred over networks for consolidation, they'd find that the person who used to carry floppy disks around had been stopping to do other work-related errands on the way, not even conscious of them. The result at one organization was that network-based consolidation led to a severe shortage of supplies in one department, as a regular stop at the supply closet had been eliminated. And even as computer technologists sought to embed formal processes in on-line systems, the anthropologists could find example after example of places where, in practice, the formal procedures were at best guidelines, adapted to reality by people in the ground.
These stories were first related as cautionary tales about all the things that could go wrong if you simply automate. Slowly over time, system designers learned how to incorporate watching people into the design process (because people can't always report accurately what they are really doing). With careful observation you could anticipate and compensate for some of the casual interactions. These observations were largely the basis for Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), an interdisciplinary research field created in the mid-1980s dedicated to understanding the interplay between technology and people, and inventing new systems that take both into account.
As a founder of CSCW, I'd love to say that it was the research that "solved" the challenge of fully taking into account the "informal" in formal work processes. But the reality is that the passing of time has mattered at least as much. The biggest difference between the workplace of today and that of the 80s is the amount of social interaction that can - and does - happen on-line. It happened gradually, starting in the consumer space, and crept into the workplace (just as the basic work processor and spreadsheets came in through personal purchase in the 80s). What it means is that now, the formal and informal really can be integrated on-line. We don't have to consider it a trade-off between automating or empowering people. Technology can do both, and can therefore finally realize it's potential for efficiency, effectiveness and, yes, even transformation.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

I'm developing a small game in Java and I have run into a problem deciding how to abstract my game world from the framework I'm using.
As I have it now I have a class called
World that keeps track of all of the different objects in the world and updates them according to the game rules. Then I have three basic object classes
Obstacle, and
Item. Each object has different "types" which are represented by a member variable. All of the object classes are extended from the class
As I have it now the
World and object classes are separate from the framework that renders the game and etc. The class
Game both tells the world to update and renders the world and the objects in the world.
The problem is that I render the objects with the three methods
drawObstacles() and
drawItems() which is fine because I already wrote the code and I won't be adding any more object classes. The real problem is rendering the different "types" of each object class. As I have it now the draw methods draw the items by checking the variable
object.type then there's a switch statement which picks the appropriate bitmap to draw.
I want to simplify this so I don't have to add to the switch statement every time I add a new "type" to the
Item class for example. The only way I can think to do this is to have the objects store what bitmap they should be rendered as when they are constructed and have their item.type variable set. This way I could remove the switch statements from the
drawItems() method. In addition I could also give each object class a draw() method blah blah blah but the reason I don't want to do this is because it ruins the separation I have from the renderer/framework and the imaginary game world.
I'm not sure what to do, on one hand I know it's a bad idea to be using switch statements like I currently am but on the other I know it's better design to have my
World and object classes independent from the framework so if I wanted to I could slap it into a new framework or whatever down the line.
Is there a way I can have both?

Free download WAV To FLAC Converter, install it and launch it. Then follow the three steps to convert WAV to FLAC.
The first step is to select the files to convert wav to flac. Run WAV to FLAC Convertor and use the Folder Explorer to browse to the files you want to convert. Then select the file in the File List, drag it to the Drop Zone and drop it there. Optionally, the WAV to FLAC Converter allows you to edit the audio tags of any selected file in the Drop Zone.
Once the files are selected, the next step is to select the output settings in WAV2FLAC Converter.
The second step is to select the output settings. To begin, select the folder to save the output file to and choose the action to be executed if the output file already exists - create a new file, overwrite or skip the existing file.
You can also set the WAV to FLAC Converter to delete a source file after conversion and preserve the the original folder structure, when doing batch conversion.
Finally, you should select the output format and audio quality.
Once the output settings are customized, you go to the final step - wav to flac conversion.
To start the wav to flac conversion, click Convert. A conversion dialog will appear to show the progress of wav to flac conversion.
During the turning wav into flac, you can change the priority of the process or set an automatic event to be executed when the conversion is over. After the conversion of wav to flac has finished, you can find the flac files in the output folder you specified.
WAV format: WAV (WAVeform audio format) is a Microsoft/IBM audio file container format. It is the main format used on Windows systems for storing uncompressed, lossless audio.
FLAC format: (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio coding format for lossless compression of digital audio, and is also the name of the reference codec implementation. Digital audio compressed by WAV's algorithm can typically be reduced to 50–60% of its original size and decompressed to an identical copy of the original audio data.

Auto Ethnography as a Method for Reflexive Research and Practice Invocational Psychology
McIlveen, Peter, Australian Journal of Career Development
This paper overviews the qualitative research method of autoethnography and its relevance to research in vocational psychology and practice in career development. Autoethnography is a reflexive means by which the researcher-practitioner consciously embeds himself or herself in theory and practice, and by way of intimate autobiographic account, explicates a phenomenon under investigation or intervention. Autoethnography is presented as a vehicle to operationalise social constructionist research and practice that aims to establish trustworthiness and authenticity. Furthermore, the method is presented as a means to operationalise the notion of critical consciousness within researchers and practitioners. It is concluded that autoethnography should be admitted to the methodological repertoire of vocational psychology research and practice.
Although qualitative data and methods have regained a legitimised place-albeit as yet limited--in the mainstream of psychology theory, research, and practice (as indicated by special issues in prestigious journals such as The Counseling Psychologist, Journal of Counseling Psychology, and the Journal of Career Assessment), story as data and as method are yet to be comprehensively articulated within the field of vocational psychology and its attendant research programmes and practices. This is problematic because, as with other branches of psychology, the contemporary practices of vocational psychology have ostensibly outpaced theory and research--perhaps because of restrained research traditions. Take narrative career counselling as an example of the differential proliferation of practice over explanatory theory and research. The narrative approach treats the client's story as being integral to the very process and outcome of assessment and intervention, however explanatory theory and research studies for this approach are, as yet, limited (McIlveen & Patton, 2007b).
The most promising theoretical frameworks within vocational psychology which explicitly include story are the Systems Theory Framework (Patton & McMahon, 2006), the Contextual-Action Theory of Career (Young & Valach, 2004; Young, Valach, & Collin, 2002), the Theory of Career Construction (Savickas, 2005), and emerging theoretical approaches that conceptualise story and storying of career and identity as a dialogical process (Guichard, 2005; McIlveen & Patton, 2007a). All of those theoretical frameworks emphasise story and the process of storying career and, moreover, emphasise storying as a recursive co-constructive process that goes on between client and counsellor.
Although the development of theory and research into career counselling practice with the client's story as subject of intervention and enquiry is crucial for the field, there are additional foci requiring attention. If the notions of inter-subjectivity and co-construction in career counselling practice and research are to have a methodological place, then the stories of the practitioner and the scientist also must be brought into the frame of critical inspection. It is suggested here, therefore, that enquiry into story as data, and by story as method, would offer another means by which to close the purported gap between practice and research. Thus, within this paper, I posit autoethnography as a qualitative method of reflexive enquiry for narrative research and practice that specifically addresses the stories of the scientist and the practitioner.
The narrative approach in psychology--promulgated by Polkinghorne (1988) and Sarbin (1986)--represents an ontological and epistemological stance generative of theory, research, and practice which comprehends the person as a social construction perpetually formed and reformed in and of socially mediated discourse, talk, text, and image (e.g., Barresi & Juckes, 1997; Baumeister & Newman, 1994; Bruner, 2004; Gergen & Davis, 1985; Hermans & Kempen, 1993; Hermans, Kempen, & van Loon, 1992; McAdams, 1993, 1996; Singer, 2004). …

Sing a (Not So) Simple Song
The Yngwie Malmsteens of the world were probably ripping their hair out: A recent issue of Guitar magazine, with Oasis on the cover, screamed the panicked headline: "Like it or not, SONGWRITING is now just as important as guitar playing--maybe more." The horror! You mean, musicians are now expected to put out substance over style? So be it.
This seems especially relevant to the Minnesota scene, where songwriting often takes the front seat to musicianship. With that in mind, we rounded up five local musicians, all working at some level of underground prominence, to discuss what the art of songwriting is all about. Our panel members are all up for Minnesota Music Awards (MMAs) Thursday night at First Avenue, and most have made some form of full-length recording debut in the last year. Each of them has a distinct approach to his or her craft, and some had never been in the same room together. Here's the rundown:
Barbara Cohen, 32, leads the eclectic modern-folk combo Little Lizard. Prior to the release last year of the full-length Black Lake, she won the 1994 MMA for Best Female Songwriter. Presently she's also collaborating in Brother Sun Sister Moon, a trip-hop project with Information Society's Paul Robb, to be unveiled in the fall.
Stuart Davis, 25, has spent years touring, recording, and self-releasing albums of his songs. His brand new disc, Nomen Est Numen (Triad), is the first to be issued by a label other than his own. Flaunting a vocabulary to rival Shakespeare (well, that's pushing it), the Lakeville native seeks to make pop music safe for the English language.
Dylan Hicks, 25, a.k.a. Kid Dyllin' Hicks, a.k.a. the Governor of Fun, a.k.a. the Renaissance Man, recently released his debut, Won. A part-time record store clerk, a full-time record buff and the best dancer in Minneapolis, Hicks is a consummate ideas man with a tireless sense of humor. (He once bartered personalized songs for five to 10 dollars each in the City Pages classifieds.) He also manages dylan davis, a "new age/rock/nature sounds" artist.
Wendy Lewis, 39, a.k.a. Rhea Valentine, which is also the name of her band. Rhea first emerged in the late '80s, but then reappeared in 1994 as a radically different rock band that plays improvisationally off of Lewis's stunning vocal leads, both live and on their debut, Shrug. Lewis and Cohen happen to be best friends, and Lewis and Hicks share a guitarist in the multifaceted Terry Eason.
Matt Olson, 26, writes all the songs for not one but two bands: Balloon Guy, whose low-profile major-label debut, The West Coast Shakes, is up for the MMA's Best Overall Rock Recording award; and Smattering, his indie supergroup which debuted last summer with Sissy Bar. The hyperproductive Olson belongs to a new school of stream-of-consciousness lyricism.
--Simon Peter Groebner
City Pages: Would you agree that there's no specific "Minneapolis sound"?
Matt: I would. Probably there never was. There's certain things that get attention. Outside of this reality it could seem that it's the Minneapolis sound.
Stuart: It's a perceived identity.
Matt: I always get asked about the Replacements and Hüsker Dü. "Why don't you sound like them?" When I get interviewed by people in other cities they think that that is the Minnesota sound.
Dylan: We haven't been in one town yet where people haven't talked about the Replacements.
Matt: They can't understand why we don't sound like that. They assume that most bands here do. That's obviously not true.
Dylan: There are tastemakers in Minneapolis and there is a music community in Minneapolis that accepts certain things and rejects others. As a songwriter/performer, whether I admit it or not, I'm going in thinking of my audience. The first people I'm thinking of are my close friends. I'm always thinking of somebody when I write the songs. Hopefully not too early in the process but I'm thinking, who's going to hear this and how are they going to react to it? A factor in that is the general Minneapolis community. I'm not exactly sure how to pinpoint the characteristics there are in that community, but I think it exists and there are pockets of scenes.
I haven't done a lot of traveling, but I've noticed that things I take for granted as acceptable or popular aren't always that way in other cities. Like Alex Chilton and Big Star. They're really big here. Because of the Replacements song, he comes to town a lot. It just became a thing here. [Then there are] the bands that City Pages and critics celebrate. The whole Wilco/Son Volt thing is huge in other parts of the country, but not to the extent it is here.
Wendy: I think that's probably even just the geography and the weather trailing through all of us, but you can't put your finger on it.
Matt: That's pretty abstract, the effects on people's personality.
Wendy: Yeah. I stay sequestered in my basement.
Matt: So do I! I hardly ever go see bands, unless I'm interested in something I heard.
CP: How to you get inspired to write a song? Is there a regimen or pattern to the way you work? Some people I know just get up in the morning and write five hours a day; others just hang around and space out until they feel they've got an idea that's going to explode, then they sit down and work for 12 hours.
Matt: Sometimes I write on my 4-track for 36 hours straight and then sleep for 2 days. I like to become so exhausted that I can't really think anymore. Then what's coming out of me is less thought about. I like to think that there's your gut, your ears, and your brain, and that's what reacts to music. The more tired I get the more I can tap into the flow of things.
Wendy: I write a lot in the car. I found I need to have my mind half-occupied by driving, walking, cleaning, and then I have this dictaphone with me. I use it when I'm nowhere near a "songwriting situation."
Matt: I never write lyrics until I do the vocal. I do a few run-throughs and say whatever comes out of my mouth. I get into a mode of what that sound feels like. Then I will write the lyrics. I like rhythmic things with words more than actual direct statements.
Stuart: It's strange for me to hear about processes like that. For me it's like I come up with the musical structure of something, the melody, chord structure--that will all be taken care of in a half-hour, or an hour. You write the chorus, bridge, verse. The body of my time is for the lyrics: 98 percent of my time. I get a sense of dread sometimes when I feel it coming on, 'cause I know I'll be sitting on the couch for maybe 30 hours or more. I might get a verse quickly, then I'll have to sit for five hours to get three words I'm looking for. The most disgusting part of the process is that for a song that took maybe 30 to 60 hours to write, they're not going to go, "Man, that's a 60-hour song right there!"
A lot of it involves cutting away at things. I'll end up with three songs worth of lyrics. I listen to a lot of artists who work in abstractions and cloudy metaphors. I just cannot set myself in that arena at all. Most of my drive has been put towards manipulating the language in a way that is totally precise and explicit. My mission is precision in lyrics.
Matt: Well, you obviously have something to say, and I don't! [general laughter] I want to communicate vibes to people. I assume I have nothing new to say to anyone. It's not that I'm addressing something that's happened to me.
Stuart: Sometimes the music for me is incidental... I focus enough on my music to make sure there's a platform in place for the lyrics. The melody structure is subjugated to the lyrics at all times. Watching your bands, there's an interplay going on between word and melody that just doesn't exist in mine.
Dylan: I'm always interested in hearing about other songwriting processes. I really enjoy reading Performing Songwriter magazine; I just devour that kind of stuff. But I never labored over a successful song ever. I've labored over songs but they're terrible! I don't have any work ethic at all.
CP: Does anyone write songs in a way that you just sit down and decide to write a song, and it comes out?
Dylan: I guess I pick up the guitar and start playing. My favorite is to just walk or drive around and remember it by singing it over and over in my head. I guess if I remember it, it's probably good enough for someone else to remember it. If I write something down, I might get too busy or clever.
Barbara: My process probably isn't very similar to anyone's here. Because I manage the band and do everything for them, I have both the business and creative sides to deal with. So work-wise I'm split down the middle. When I'm on the business side, it's really hard for me to write music. When I'm writing, I tend to write around midnight to 4 a.m. when it's really quiet and there's no one around. I live by myself in an apartment with thick floors. So I can scream really loud.
I usually come up with the melody lines on the guitar or mandolin. I don't think of it as this verse-chorus-verse thing. I try to get away from simplistic musical structure. I still write some things in a simple folk vein, but I'm starting to get in this space where I'm like, "screw it." There are so many ways to explore music. Maybe I can just play the chorus once. When I heard Jeff Buckley's hit on the radio, the chorus is once and that's it. And I was like, "YES!"
CP: Let's talk about songwriting models? What makes a perfect song?
Dylan: I could name some things now, but they probably wouldn't be the same tomorrow. There are different things... There are mediocre songs that are made into great records, sometimes it's hard to distinguish. But like Etta James "I'd Rather Go Blind"--I can't remember who wrote that song. Some professional who got paid a flat fee for it, probably (laughter). It's just a great record, probably because of her voice. It's a simple breakup song, but the whole concept: I'd rather go blind than see you with somebody else. There's not really very many words but it tells you what you need to know. I like a lot of the Randy Newman songs for the same reason. He doesn't reveal everything.
Matt: For me the ultimate song is Los Lobos's "Kiko." I love pop music and strong song structure, but I think that appeals to one part of me--that's my ears. I also love abstract stuff, because it appeals to my mind. And I also love AC/DC because they appeal to my gut...
Dylan: Or something lower.
Matt: Could be--I'll never forget the first time I heard the song "Highway to Hell" [laughter]. So in order to create that ultimate song, you'd need all three of those things to line up. And they do in "Kiko." Or "Teenage Riot," by Sonic Youth. It appeals to all three senses.
Dylan: Well, I like all that stuff too, but "Teenage Riot" to me is a great record; I don't know if it's a great song. It's a great entirety, but I don't know if I'd like to hear Stuart playing along with it in the morning (laughter)... Although you'd probably get away with it! It would probably sound cool.
Stuart: I agree that what makes a song great is gonna change as much as your life does from day to day. Because you're composed of different things, and there's interaction between that and the music.
Matt: I disagree. I think there's definitely a timelessness in some music. I hate Oasis, yet that song "Champagne Supernova" to my ears possesses a certain weird timelessness. It would have been a hit whether it was put out in '74 or now.
Wendy: I feel that way about the Eagles' "Desperado."
Matt: Yeah, that's so cool. Certain stuff will be interesting to people 200 years from now--like "Teenage Riot," I believe. That's what I love about a lot of the Zeppelin stuff, too. It's timeless.
Dylan: I guess I like to try to judge everything on its own terms. Ideally I aspire to someday write something that has the emotional density that something like Etta James, whatever, some of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan or something like that. But I'm not there yet, I can't do that at this point in my life; I guess I'm just not that dense [laughter]. But I think I also really like the stupidity of pop music. It's part of its charm. It's low culture and I think that rock & roll should remain that way to a certain extent. Not to deny lofty things, but I don't think there's any dishonor in doing something solely for amusement. I like a lot of those '60s garage records. They're really stupid, but still really great songs.
Sometimes I like to write songs with no consideration for their quality--like I just finished a song a couple of days ago called "Terminal Dancer." It's about me or this character being a great dancer all their life, like [sings] "I'm a terminal dancer, gonna dance my life away. De-de-de-de." And there's this line, it's the stupidest line I've ever written, after I admit I'm not really a terminal dancer, I go [sings] "I'm no Baryshnikov or even Baryshnisneeze" [laughter, derogatory comments]. But I love it and I really like singing that. I really like listening to, you know that Wanda Jackson song "Fujyama-Mama"? It's just absurd, it's the most ridiculous song, but it's just great. You can do something in a very lowbrow medium and still have something worthwhile happening.
Barbara: I think that's true. But what I tend to be drawn to and think of as my personal great songs, they tend to be sadder and more intense, but I love great pop songs too. What comes to mind is Leonard Cohen's "Joan of Arc" or "Famous Blue Raincoat" or Joni Mitchell's "Blue" or Ricki Lee Jones's "Company" or "Last Chance Texaco." These songs where they kill me, Jesus Christ, these lyrics are so powerful and the melody is powerful and they're sung with so much emotion and passion.
[To Stuart] I know what you're saying, too, in terms of wanting lyrics with some meaning. I do painting to make money and there's always some radio station constantly droning in the background and you're painting. Especially by like one in the morning, I'm losing my mind, and some of these lyrics that are coming on, and I'm getting more cynical and more cynical, and tearing these songs to shreds as I'm painting, you know.
CP: What about your own songwriting? Do people take the time to listen closely to lyrics?
Matt: Hey Stuart--there was the great hit by the Goo Goo Dolls, now I don't remember what it was, but I heard it and I thought the lyrics were terrible. But I got the feeling that those guys thought they were really good, you know? So where's the line, and how do you know what people are actually going to get out of your lyrics? I'm not picking on you or anything [laughter]...
Stuart: Well, I think if you're working with metaphoric, symbolic, or abstract kinds of lyrics, then you have to throw it right back in the lap of the listener. In my opinion, in a bad scenario with metaphorical or symbolic writing, the listener is doing more creatively than the writer is. If they're a person who expends a great deal of energy in the interpretation, they're going to go "oh, this and that," and bring a fuckin' world to the song...
Matt: That's sounds great to me...
Stuart: I'm not discounting that, but I think there's a distinction to be made between that and between somebody who comes to a show, maybe not even in a mood to listen, but sitting there in the course of the evening, some song takes them by the command of its language and grabs them. And pretty soon they're transformed from one mood or emotion--they can't help it, because the song is in charge--and by the end of that four or five minutes they're put into this place, they're just soaking in this emotion or this feeling that you'd have to ascribe to the song. Somebody working with these lyrics has done that. So those are two different experiences...
Wendy: But that can happen with the music too, though. I completely hear you on the lyrical thing, because I'm a lyric freak too. But I think it can be incredible to set up an audience where they do take their own bouquet home afterwards that has nothing to do with what you wrote. Because--and this is just a thought--you can't speak to every person in your audience afterwards and find out how they took your song, and even the most precisely written song they may interpret in a way that you could never imagine. And maybe that drives you crazy.
Stuart: It does.
Wendy: Like "Oh my god! How could you get that from that?"
CP: So what about the response that listeners have to stuff? As songwriters, do you feel that people appreciate the craft of songwriting?
Matt: Well, I think it depends on who your audience is. But yeah, I think that people listen closer than I ever thought they would. And when I said that people have their own interpretations of songs, I saw a review of our [Balloon Guy's] record where there's a song called "Springtime in Ho Chi Minh City," and somebody had written this elaborate thing about it being about a Vietnam vet. And it makes perfect sense and it's not, it's not what I was thinking of at all. So I think that somebody somewhere is really listening. I think it's noticed...
CP: Fans as well as critics...
Matt: Yeah, I think so, definitely.
Wendy: Well, I think everyone comes to it as the individual that they are, and they take out of it what they do, and that is the thing about music. It's so subjective. Lots of art is subjective, but music can keep going and going and going and changing. There's a song that I listened to 10 years ago I could listen to now and it's an entirely different experience to me because my life is different. Maybe it's the music, maybe it's the lyrical content, that I didn't really get that same way... That's the weirdest thing about music, you write this thing, and you put it out there, and it takes on its own life...
CP: It's really created once it's out there.
Wendy: Yeah, it's like a cell that keeps multiplying...

Better then the real thing!
Looking at this picture, this guy also looks like he could be the inspiration for the appearance of Jak from the Jak and Dexter series, at least for the first game. Very nice picture, by the way!
he reminds me a little of great teacher onizuka but more threatening xD
Love how you made him, he looks great in your style.
Dat 4Kids toothpick.
Could be worse, could be a lolipop.
Oooooiiihhh! Cid!! That (lovely) bad ass kicker guy! I always liked and loved him in FFVII and still do! FFVII is definitely the best game ever and it will always be my number one game
Thank you for doing this art. It cheered my day so much!
