SEATTLE – Washington sent eight men to the plate and scored three times in the eighth to break open a 1-1 tie and hold on for a 4-3 win over California at Evans Diamond in Berkeley, Calif. Thursday night in game one of a three-game series.
Trevor Mitsui drove in two runs, including the go-ahead run, to help Washington, ranked sixth in College Baseball News and seventh by Baseball America, move to 13-3 in Pac-12 action and maintain a 1 ½ game lead over idle Oregon State.
The Huskies improved to 26-7-1 overall on the season, while the Bears dropped to 15-18, 4-9 in Conference.
All four of Washington's runs came with two outs and all nine hits were singles.
In the decisive eighth, Braden Bishop drew a lead-off walk from Cal starter Daulton Jefferies (2-4) but it appeared as if Washington was going to waste a golden opportunity as the next two batters were retired.
Jefferies left the game in favor of Chris Muse-Fisher, who proceeded to walk the Pac-12's leading hitter Brian Wolfe. Trevor Hildenberg came into the game to face Mitsui to set up the righty on righty matchup, but the move did not pay off. Mitsui delivered a single, his third hit of the game and the first of three-consecutive run-scoring singles for the Huskies.
Pinch-hitter Jack Meggs and Alex Schmidt both followed Mitsui with RBI hits of their own.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Huskies almost saw their three-run lead completely evaporate. After reliever Will Ballowe got two quick outs, he gave up a single and double before giving way to Troy Rallings.
Rallings uncorked a wild pitch that scored one run and then gave up a RBI double to cut the lead to one run before getting Lucas Erceg to ground out to end the threat.
Rallings allowed a two-out hit in the ninth, but got the Pac-12 home run leader Derek Campbell to fly out to right to end the game. Rallings picked up his fifth save of the season, while Ballowe moved to 3-0 on the season.
Washington, who is 23-3 over their last 26 games, got on the board first, piecing together three-straight singles to take the 1-0 lead in the fourth. Robert Pehl extended his personal hit streak to 11 games and notched the first Huskies' hit of the game. Wolfe followed with a hit of his own to put runners on first and second. Mitsui drove Pehl in with a single to right field to draw first blood.
California evened the score at 1-1 in the fifth on a home run by Erceg that almost was an out. Erceg drove the ball deep to right field where Wolfe tracked the ball to the fence. He leaped to grab it and nearly made an excellent play, but the ball popped out of his glove and over the fence for Cal's first tally of the game.
Both starting pitchers threw brilliantly, but ultimately Jeffries was tagged with an unlucky loss.
UW's Jared Fisher lasted 6 1/3 innings and gave up just the one run on Erceg's homer and four total hits. He struck out two and walked a pair of batters.
Jeffries was equally strong. The freshman went 7 2/3 innings and gave up six hits, two runs, struck out two and walked one.
Mitsui (3), Schmidt (2) and Wolfe (2) all recorded multi-hit games for the Huskies. Wolfe raised his Pac-12 leading batting average to .412.
The Huskies and Cal face off in game two of the three-game series Friday at 7:00 p.m. Washington will send right-hander Tyler Davis (7-1, 1.38) to the hill against Cal lefty Kyle Porter (4-3, 2.68).
#7 Washington 4, California 3
Jared Fisher, Will Ballowe (7), Troy Rallings (8) and Austin Rei. Daulton Jeffries, Chris Muse-Fisher (8), Trevor Hildenberger (8), Dylan Nelson (9) and Mitchell Kranson. W – Ballowe (3-0). L – Jeffries (2-4). Sv – Rallings (5). HR – CAL, Lucas Erceg (1). 3B – none. 2B – CAL, Aaron Knapp, Nic Halamandaris, Brenden Farney. Time – 2:45. Attendance – 432.

316th Wing/Joint Base Andrews command chief master sergeant
6/1/2010 -
JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md.
-- Wednesday marked my final day as the 316th Wing Command Chief.
During the last couple of weeks leading up to this day I have had several moments of reflection of my time here at Andrews, now Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington.
I am humbled to have had the opportunity to serve beside some great Americans, whom I call "America's sons and daughters."
Andrews has always made its mark in U.S. military history and the past 22 months have been no exception.
The men and women of the 316th Wing and Joint Base Andrews showcased their professionalism time after time during events such as the 56th Presidential Inauguration, Senator Ted Kennedy's funeral, the Maersk Alabama's crew arrival, the G-20 Summit, the Haiti Relief Effort, and the Nuclear Security Summit which hosted the world's top leaders from more than 40 countries.
The list of outstanding accomplishments go es on and on.
Oh, by the way, we became a joint base while all these events were being executed by America's Airmen.
During every Welcome to Andrews Orientation, I shared with the newcomers the effect they will have on our country.
Pick any of these events and at any other base it would take three to six months or more of planning. Here at Andrews, it's a natural occurrence.
You deserve to be proud, that is why I proudly yell, VIGILANCE ... STRENGTH ... PRIDE, because it denotes who you are and what you are accomplishing on a daily basis.
The relationships at Joint Base Andrews have continued to flourish with every organization on Andrews taking on the Chief of Staff's motto "All in."
The success that Andrews continues to thrive on is because of you.
To sum up your value to the American public, I will leave you with this story.
We recently hosted the 2010 Joint Service Open House on Joint Base Andrews, where approximately 200,000 people gathered at Andrews over a three day period.
The Monday morning afterwards an elderly gentleman came to my office. He could barely walk, his speech was very slurred and he trembled as he spoke.
He stated that he had to let me know how awesome our Airmen are at Andrews.
You see, he parked at the Thrift Store and slowly was making his way to the gates to gain entry, but he got to a point where he couldn't walk anymore and decided to turn around and return to his vehicle.
He said, that an Airman drove up beside him and said, "Sir, I am working the Joint Service Open House and I will take you inside to see the Air Show."
That is the type of Airman each and every one of you are on a daily basis, displaying Integrity, Service before self, and Excellence in all you do.
It has been my highest honor and privilege to serve as the 316th Wing Command Chief.
I thank each and every one of you for your service to Joint Base Andrews and our nation.
God Bless you and your families.

This drink is a classic, although today it is believed to be a much different drink. Here is an early printing:
My Nerdy Valentine - Page 97 by Vicki Lewis Thompson in 2007
"I want a Hot Apple Pie, and I didn't trust Ethan to make it right." "A Hot Apple Pie? Are you sure? She layered Goldschläger over the Baileys. "But it might be time to retire that Barmaster for the night and tuck into a hamburger."
This drink belongs to a family of drinks named after popular cakes, such as the pineapple upside down cake and the carrot cake. This drink follows the trends of this family and taste like it's food counterpart. This drink has always called for bailey's and goldschlager as seen in these publications:
The Bartender's Best Friend: A Complete Guide to Cocktails, ... - Page 182 by Mardee Haidin Regan in 2002

This drink dates between 1997 - 2001 and contained at least as of then:

In an exclusive Q&A with Renée Ward, Ryan Blair, co-founder and CEO, ViSalus, the company behind the Body by Vi™ 90-Day Challenge, a weight and fitness transformation platform, and New York Times best-selling author of Nothing To Lose, Everything To Gain: How I Went From Gang Member To Multimillionaire Entrepreneur shares how a mentor's influence at the age of 17 was the turning point in his life.
This is the fifth in a series of articles about the "first paying jobs" of successful people, their advice for today's teens, and the value of work early in life.
After being kicked out of high school, Blair joined a Los Angeles, CA street gang. After learning the ways of illegal entrepreneurship, a mentor showed him how to achieve his goals legally. His career as a serial entrepreneur took off when he founded his first company, 24/7 Tech at the age of 21.
Making his first million dollars by the age of 26, Blair quickly learned what was needed to build a company from the ground up. Blair, now 36 years old, has founded, sold, merged, and acquired numerous companies for hundreds of millions of dollars. He says ViSalus is valued at more than $600 million.
Ward: How old were you when you landed your first paying job?
Blair: I was 17 when I landed my first paying job as a "Boy Friday" for my stepfather, Robert Hunt.
Ward: What was the job and what did it entail?
Blair: My job included doing everything from cleaning my stepfather's boat, running errands for him, to serving eviction notices to his rental tenants.
Ward: I know it might be obvious but how did this opportunity come about?
Blair: My mother met Robert Hunt, a self-made real-estate entrepreneur, while she was working at a deli. She asked if he would consider hiring me for a job and since he liked her, he gave me a shot.
Ward: What qualities did you bring to the job at that time? Why do you think you "earned" the job?
Blair: I told him I was willing to do anything and everything he asked of me. I took every task as a chance to learn and a chance to prove myself. I wanted to show him that I was better than his other employees because I took each task personally and did more than I was asked of.
Ward: So Robert Hunt was your mentor. What was it about him that made you respect and take his direction?
Blair: Yes, Robert Hunt was my mentor. I was poor and had respect for people who were self-made. I saw people who became so through the streets. Bob didn't have street smarts. I figured I could add that value to him. It turned out he needed my perspective and I needed his.
Ward: How did he help you?
Blair: He insisted I get my GED and go to a community college as one of his conditions of my employment. If I was late, he would explain to me that my behavior was unacceptable. He would correct me when I made mistakes. If I asked for a raise he would be honest with me about my performance and what he felt I needed to work on. Most importantly he would ask me my goals, personally, professionally and financially. He knew what I wanted and presented the work he asked me to do as a gateway for me to achieve.
I would not be where I am today if it were not for his mentorship early on. To this day I recite the words he gave me as though they are a gift, two years after he's passed.
Ward: Did anything go wrong on the job? If so, how did you overcome the challenges?
Blair: Yes, I would constantly make mistakes. I was also very insecure so each time I made a mistake it was amplified by my inner voice. He would tell me not to worry about a mistake I made, but rather to worry about what I was going to do to prevent it from happening again. He made each challenge a learning opportunity.
What: What did you learn from this job that has prepared you for what you are doing now?
Blair: By watching an entrepreneur in action, I learned how to be one myself. I applied the lessons he taught me almost daily. I now have a substantial real-estate portfolio and when I'm faced with a decision I often ask myself, "What would Bob do?"
Ward: What advice do you have for teens and young adults seeking their first job?
Blair: My advice is to take a job with a company where your primary objective is to learn, not earn.
The more you position yourself to learn, the more you'll understand what you want to do later on.
If you end up doing something you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
Additional tips for teens as a result of this interview:
Not sure what you want to do or what kind of job to pursue? Take a look at the Association for Career and Technical Education's (ACTE) career clusters and take a Career Clusters Interest Survey. This may help give you focus and direction in your job hunting. The Career Clusters Interest Survey

It Takes Commitment
Okay, let's be gut level honest here; if one is going to get completely free from food addiction and live in optimal health, it's going to take commitment.
Commitment is fully engaging one's mind to act upon a decision. Commitment includes involvement and dedication.
Commitment is not, "I'll give it a *try* . . . . . (until I don't feel like it anymore.)"
Nor is it, "I'll be a nutritarian during the week, and a junketarian on weekends."
Making the commitment to get health back has everything to do with, "No matter what, every day I will make choices to eat for health for the rest of my life. No argument. No wavering in the midst of trial. The decision has been made. Period."
When the mind is 100% committed, there are no more excuses.
(100% commitment has nothing to do with 100% perfection. BIG difference. I'll discuss that topic in another post.)
A nutritarian whose mind is 100% committed to optimal health will:
Remove junk food, processed cereals, white flour products, salt, and sweets from the house.
Make time to study Dr. Fuhrman's books and tutorials; understanding the difference between toxic hunger and cravings versus true hunger, the body's need for digestive rest as much as nourishing food, and the instructional teleconference on overeating. Success is dependent on how much information is comprehended, not on how much willpower is possessed.
Ask like-minded and supportive members on drfuhrman.com for practical success tips and delicious recipes to make it through an upcoming birthday party.
Know how to make scrumptious sorbets, ice creams and cakes from nutrient dense fruits and vegetables.
Make time to clean and slice romaine lettuce, tomatoes and red onions to make a huge, great tasting salad instead of zoning out in front of the TV.
Make a homemade salad dressing from wholesome ingredients such as blueberries or kiwis,
tomato paste, or flavored vinegars and cashews rather than just pour a bunch of oil and salt out of a bottle.
Prepare a large pot of cooked beans with basil, garlic and spices for use throughout the week.
Choose to stop by the farmer's market instead of the fast food place, knowing the sack of fresh green peppers, tomatoes and peaches will support nutritional excellence.
Click here for sample recipes from drfuhrman.com.
Have you made the commitment to optimal health, or are you just trying to eat more healthfully?
The latter will be laced with hundreds of excuses, and will only set you up for failure at the next curve ball that life throws your way.
If you haven't already done so, pick a date, and make the commitment.
Let's dialogue. Have YOU made the commitment? If you haven't, what excuses are holding you back?

The subject of Belle of Bloomsbury is a bull terrier bitch called Swirl. She was owned by the artist's sister, Nancy, who lived in Bloomsbury, London during the late 1920s and early 1930s. As Swirl was kept in this part of London for much of her life, the painting is titled Belle of Bloomsbury. Morris painted the picture especially for his sister while staying with her at Henley shortly after their mother's death. Swirl herself had died some fourteen years earlier.
The painting is based on an undated black and white photograph (Tate Archive) taken by Angus Wilson, a friend of the American collector and painter Paul Odo Cross. It shows Swirl sitting on a blanket in the garden of Cross's house near Fordingbridge. Belle of Bloomsbury is probably the only example of Morris copying a picture from a photograph, and though it is largely faithful to the original image several significant changes have been made. For example, extraneous features, such as the lawn, have been removed to bring Swirl into the centre of the picture; the dog's anatomy has been altered slightly, in particular, her head and left hindleg have been made more squat; the details of the ivy and the wall have been simplified for compositional effect. Perhaps most significant, however, is the introduction of colour.
The importance accorded to Swirl as the subject of a portrait suggests that Morris was well aware of how much his sister liked her dog. Indeed, within the painting various pictorial devices have been used to emphasise her status. For example, the dog, sitting on its hindquarters rather like a human, is enlarged beyond life-size. The strong colour contrast between her creamy white coat and deep blues, greens and terracotta tones in the rest of the picture, combined with the crisp delineation of her body, emphatically establishes her as the subject of the painting. The spiky impasto, particularly in the dog's body, gives the painting a physicality absent from the flat two-dimensional surface of the original photograph. This stress on physical presence is reiterated by the artist's deeply incised signature in the lower left corner, which accentuates the materiality of the paint itself.

African-Americans lag substantially behind other groups. At its heart, such educational inequality for black males is a moral issue; a challenge to fairness or justice in a society in which education is the major public instrument for 'leveling the playing field' (Levin et.al. 2007).
There is no doubt that black males are an endangered population in American society. There are many at risk factors plaguing black males. However, there is an overwhelming research consensus that African American males, in general, are at risk of educational failure.
Yet, on Tuesday Sept., 2, this Examiner witnessed dozens of African American males going to elementary schools in the City of Detroit who were bright-eyed, wearing neatly pressed uniforms, carrying backpacks, on time, and ready to learn. The latter overture is a very stark departure from the depictions that characterize black youth as thugs, perpetual law breakers, defiant, and untrustworthy.
Hype and misunderstandings
Often the media and silver screen capitalize on the pseudo-images of black men as violent, over sexed, misogynistic, the father of multiple children with dozens of different partners, and justifiably "something" to be feared.
Gibbs (2004) says that black males have been stereotyped and often described "…by one or more of the five Ds: dumb, deprived, dangerous, deviant and disturbed" And even though these words "…are seldom spoken or written, they reflect mainstream cultural values and are often reflected in educational policy and practice". He further argues that black men have been miseducated, mishandled, mislabeled and mistreated.
Gibbs' research and data might be overly exaggerated for some, but he is clearly in the ballpark of expediency for racial contingency.
Misnomers in the system
In theory, the American educational system purports the idea of an equal opportunity educational policy. This idea happens to require an equal access to the same educational facilities. However, persons of African heritage in America traditionally have had less access to the economic, political, and social opportunities that pave the way for equal educational opportunities.
Clearly, the political history cannot be discounted when examining the overall structure of the educational system in America as it relates to persons of color. Black males did not spontaneously become at risk of educational failure; there is a jagged line that can be traced to the source of this disruption.
Historical agendas have predetermined what persons of color can and cannot do in America's educational systems. In 1895 the United State Supreme Court decided, via Plessey v. Ferguson, that equal facilities could be separate for blacks and whites. Plessey v. Ferguson created the "separate but equal doctrine" that was practiced until 1954 when Brown v. Board of Education stated in part: "In the field of public education the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal….and to separate them [black children] solely on basis of their color may affect their hearts and minds in a way likely ever to be undone". Hence, the stage had already been set, prior to the ruling in Brown vs. the Board of Education for black children to become marginally educated in America.
The United States' government has been playing catch up for decades. President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty (1964) which denied federal funds to public schools with racially discriminatory programs; a Nation at Risk (1981), which did not specifically target minorities but did adopt a curriculum for an overhaul of public education in America, and No Child Left Behind (2001), which was designed under the Bush administration in order to close the educational divide between urban schools and their suburban counterparts.
Each of these platforms was implemented for underrepresented children to gain the needed resources that would provide equal educational opportunities. Accordingly, black adolescent males have been [and are] shaped by "historical events and their residual effects" (Tatum, 2005).
Education levels the playing field in a country where the field has multiple entrances but only one entrance for blacks. Our history teaches us what we must not return to. Never have so many black youth been lost to the penal system, to the streets, to death by the hands of law enforcers, or to the undertakers. And as observed by Michigan State University sociologist Dr. Carl S. Taylor, there are those who prey on the lack of opportunity and education; thereby allowing organized crime units to emerge from underground and teach young minds the ways to a criminal lifestyle.
Criminologist, Elliott Currie states that the evidence is very compelling between inequality and crime and, "It is one thing for a college student to work at a fast food restaurant as a summer job. It is entirely different for a young person to take on this kind of job when there is little expectation of rising above this entry level."
There is; there must; there has to be a point of intervention prior to the time our young boys go off to school and enter the first, second, third, and fourth grades. The playing field is still replete with mines, dead end detours, misleading signals, and a home base that moves farther away with each attempted home run.
There are no shortcuts to overcoming racial prejudice. Prejudice is a remarkably stubborn and resilient thing: it may go underground when it's not safe to speak it aloud, but it burns on unseen, until something happens and it bubbles to the surface and boils over - and everyone is shocked and dismayed.

New Jersey state police have announced that NASCAR driver Jason Leffler has died as a result of injuries suffered in a wreck at Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey, according to the Associated Press. Leffler was 37.
According to state police, Leffler was pronounced dead at 9:02 p.m. ET.
Leffler, from Long Beach, Calif., spent most of his decade-plus NASCAR career in the Nationwide series, running full schedules from 2006 to 2011. He had two wins, 42 top fives and 107 top 10s in the Nationwide series. He's also run 73 races in Sprint Cup, most recently at Pocono last week, and 56 races in the Camping World Truck Series, where he posted one victory.
"NASCAR extends its thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to the family of Jason Leffler who passed away earlier this evening," NASCAR said in a statement. "For more than a decade, Jason was a fierce competitor in our sport and he will be missed."
Prior to NASCAR, Leffler won three straight USAC midget championships (1997-99). He also competed in the 2000 Indianapolis 500, where he finished 17th.
He'd only this year returned to Sprint Car racing, where he planned on competing in 50-65 races. According to his web site, "Jason is excited to get back to the grass roots of racing to connect with fans and old rivalries."
Leffler was extremely close to his son Charlie Dean, who had only recently finished kindergarten. Leffler's Instagram page is full of shots of Charlie Dean, including this poignant one:

My BASIC? Your BASIC? Tiny BASIC?
The other day I stumbled on a very cool page on Wikipedia about Tiny BASIC, a language implemented many years ago and published in the seminal Dr. Dobbs Journal magazine. I realized that budding language implementors would really go bonkers for this!
Check out the links at the bottom. There are a couple of implementations there written in BASIC with source code. What better way to get your feet wet but to port Tiny BASIC to Liberty BASIC or to your favorite BASIC? Doing the port shouldn't be too hard, and you'll learn enough to venture adding some new commands. :-)

This looks neat.
Although it's going to be a pain to convert these to Just Basic's BASIC.

A time ago I have came across with Baltie ( http://www.baltie.com ). He's a small magican for teaching programming not by writing text-code but using images as commands. We have started using it in our school 3 years ago and we have a huge response - (see what my son has done http://www.sgp.cz/cz/video/4BaltiesMsg.wmv ).

Without actually downloading and trying Baltie, I'll say that it looks very cool. I think that there is definitely a place for this kind of programming.
Squeak (http://www.squeakland.org) also has similar ideas except that it is more open ended, so that learners can move from the visual programming to the world of symbolic programming world when they're ready. I think that ultimately that's where it should lead because real programming is extensible using words about ideas, and programming is about modeling ideas. Icons are too limited because if you have a new idea about programming you need a new word or icon. Anyone can type a word, but not so with icons. Not everyone is an artist. ;-)
Thanks for the comment.

Who may buy and use
plumbing minor labels?
Only licensed plumbing contractors may buy plumbing minor labels.
Plumbers licensed under ORS chapter 693 may use labels.
The installation may not exceed the scope of the license.
A plumbing minor label may be used on a job site with existing
permits if the work is within the scope of work permitted by the
minor label rules and is done by a contractor who does not have
an existing plumbing permit for that job site.
A contractor may use only one minor label per project at a job
site. Job site is defined as the address of the home, apartment
or commercial building
What is the scope of work a contractor is allowed to perform with
a plumbing minor label?
Contractors are allowed to perform a number of installations, but
contractors may not use a minor label to perform any installations
that are outside the scope of their licenses.
Residential installations
Commercial installations
Q: What is the scope of work a contractor is allowed to
perform with a plumbing minor label?
A: Contractors are allowed to perform a number of installations,
but contractors may not use a minor label to perform any installations
that are outside the scope of their licenses.
Q: Can I use minor labels for multiple installations at
one address?
A: Only if the installations involved are within the scope
of the minor label rules. For example, the rules allow the repair
or replacement of up to three fixtures. Fixtures are defined to
include, but are not limited to, bathtubs, bidets, showers, sinks,
water closets, and water heaters.
Q: What if a minor label has already been used on a job
A: The rules allow one plumbing minor label per project
per job site, so if minor labels have been posted for previous projects
or a current electrical minor label is posted for the same remodel
you are working on, you may use a plumbing minor label for your
Q: When do I post the label, before or after beginning work?
A: You must post the label on the electrical service panel
before the work begins. If a panel is not yet available, you may
post the label on the installation.
Q: Are all minor label installations inspected?
A: No. Only one out of 10 installations is inspected. The
Division randomly selects one of the installations and submits a
request to the corresponding jurisdiction to conduct the inspection.
Q: What happens if an inspection fails?
A: Failing a minor label is very expensive! If an inspection
fails, the Division allows the contractor 10 calendar days to
dispute the inspection report by notifying the Division. The contractor
pays the jurisdiction directly at its hourly inspection rate for
reinspection. The Division then selects another label from the same
lot of 10 to be inspected and the contractor pays the jurisdiction
directly at a rate of $75. If three inspections from the same lot
of labels fail, the contractor must take out full permits for all
the remaining installations in that lot.

Shine - Ludum Dare 28 Entry by AdventureIslandsWatch
©2013-2016 AdventureIslands
Created for Ludum Dare 28 in under 48 hours: Theme: You Only Get One. Check out the LD entry page:
Also available on:
GameJolt: gamejolt.com/games/platformer/…
Newgrounds (with medals!): www.newgrounds.com/portal/view…
Kingdom of Solaris has always been protected by light of holy lighthouse. One day however, the lights disappeared, plunging the kingdom into darkness..
However, all hope is not lost. One day a young wizard Lucia arrived, and used all her strength to create a ball of light powerful enough to lit the lighthouse again!
While the orb is very powerful, it's also very unstable. A slightest bump can cause the orb to explode! Lucia needs to use the orb to light her way, while trying to keep the orb intact. Will she be able to end the age of darkness?
Use Arrow Keys or WASD to control Lucia. Press down or S to enter doors.
Use mouse to control orb of light. Beware that it explodes if it hits walls, platforms or goes off screen.
Esc returns you to main menu and skips the intro. M mutes and unmutes music
i favorite it cuz this is what iam erching for my haul life
A single player game what can be played with a friend in co-op if one control the mage and the other control the orb ?
I have already seen this kind of indie platformers but this one is well executed, as for the "darkness big picture with
a transparent hole" you explain in other comments we all started this way for this effect. (xD) Keep it up, you have ideas and talent.
Ok, three good reviews on three random deviations..*play random "you found a treasure" music game* you got a new watcher xD

Awesome game! I really love the Game Mechanic with the Light Orb
very cute art style !
I loved the soundtrack *-*
Completely sweet idea for a game. Very innovative.
This is awesome. How did you achieve the lighting effect around the orb? As a Flash games programmer I've always wanted to do that.
it's a huge black picture with a round hole in the middle. The image is always set to move on where the orb is so that the orb is in the middle of the hole.
That makes perfect sense! Do you know how some games do it where they might have multiple light sources, each with a similar effect?
Unfortunately not. I would really like to know myself as I have another light and darkness based game idea, but it requires multiple sources of light.
I found a way!!!! stackoverflow.com/questions/19…
It involves blend modes, specifically multiplication.
The basic idea is as follows:
1. create a texture and fill it with a solid color that will determine the "background lighting level". If completely black (#000000), the default light level (between lights) will be no light, if 30% black , the default lighting will be 30% intensity. This texture is fully opaque, however.
2. each frame, render your light sprites to this texture. They can be colored, and will probably be radial gradients going from colored in the middle to transparent at the edges.
3. now multiply the composite texture with your scene. The places in the light layer with the lights in them will be multiplied with the light color (if white, then it will be fully-lit), the places between them will be multiplied with the "background light color" and if that light color is solid black, they will be completely dark.
I am now going to implement this for the cave level in my RPG I'm working on. I want it to be lit with torches and now I can do so. If this doesn't make sense I can make a sample tutorial graphic.
That's how we do it in our game. We use "Multiply" to shed light on objects. And "Add" to give light sources a white-hot glow so you know that is where the light is coming from.
(-John Mark)
(-John Mark)
Fascinating game. The light/dark dynamic, plus the need to move and protect your lightsource, is a concept you simply don't see in most games, and turned an otherwise generic platformer into something that was, quite simply, fun (even if I did end up quitting after ramming the light into a wall for the fifth time )
nice game love it
Fantastic idea! Sadly, I don't think I'm coordinated enough to move both mouse and character at once. o.O
amazing work! ;D
Nice work! The last level was a surprising spike in difficulty, though. The previous levels allowed me to take it slow for the most part and "park" the light in safe places, up until the last level, which was more like quick platforming and mouse avoider merged into one. And for the most part, I suck at mouse avoiders, so I had a lot of deaths in that one.
One thing I don't like is that when I press M to mute the audio, the music turns off, but the sound effects stay on. This is okay, except I wanted to take a break after losing the last level so many times and I wanted to listen to other music on my computer without hearing the death sound effect play over and over. Just a minor detail, but gamewise, it was a great idea.
What a brilliant game...well done.
how make these games?

I don't listen to the radio. Well, not for the music at least (Hello, NPR!). I probably haven't since the mid 90s, aside from a couple of college radio stations. I'm sure this makes me sound all music elitist and stuff, and okay, so maybe I am. A little. It's not necessarily the music I don't like, it's all the commercials and crap inbetween. Okay, and maybe some of the music.
I'm sure you're wondering (or not), how does someone who doesn't listen to the radio find new music? Without further ado, I'd like to present:

High-end headphones for studio/home/travel!
Good day all,
I'll give you the short version first, since I know I have a habit of writing too much and not everyone is willing to read a huge wall of text:
- 500€ to spend, can extend up to 600 easily and 700 with a stretch
- Two pairs of headphones: One pair that's all about SQ for home and studio, one (cheaper) pair that's portable, energetic and aggressive, excelling in rock and heavy.
- A portable amp, a home amp and a dac.
- Taste in music is from classical to rock to rap to trance to pop to deathmetal to jazz to... Well, everything really. See link for a mosaic of my all time fav. albums if interested http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/7227/mosaicsm.jpg
I've been a happy music lover for pretty much all my life, and I was perfectly happy with my pair of streetstyle Sonys and my iPod, until recently when I started recording vocals at a professional studio and magically developed a taste for... well, SQ.
My current set-up -- ignoring the stuff at the studio for now -- with my computer is a pair of Senn HD 428's, plugged into my stereo which is plugged into my comp. For outdoors/travel I've got a pair of Senn PMX 90's, a Cowon X7, an iPod Classic 80gb and a FiiO E5, which was enough stuff to keep my satisfied for about a week, and now I'm looking to upgrade, hopefully to a level above, if not to the highest possible level yet (uni. student here, not rolling around in cash).
What I'm looking for is:
- A pair of open/closed circumaural headphones for heavy use at home. I've been drooling for Senn 598's and 650's, but I'm open for suggestions (no AKG or Koss though, preferably). I'd love phones that are great with every type of music, but for home I prefer clear and balanced sound (not too heavy on the bass). The type of relaxed enjoyable sound that Sennheisers seem to provide.
- A pair of portable headphones that excell in rock. Compared to the cheap Sony Streetstyles both the 428's and PMX 90's lose when it comes to rock. They just don't have the certain 'edge' to the sound -- they sound too relaxing for rock. I've been looking at Ultrasone Zino and Grados iGrado to fill this void -- Any thoughts? I dislike IEM's and headbands (neckband is the best for me), but again I'm open for suggestions
- A portable amp, that also would work as a beginner level headphone amp & dac for me at home. Can be two products that together fill both these needs. I've been eyeing the FiiO E7 + E9 combo, that seems pretty much perfect as far as price goes, and from what I've heard and experienced FiiO products are not exactly bad either. Thoughts? Suggestions?
My budget for the whole thing is about 500€, but it's extendable up to 600, and if it benefits my setup greatly, even 700 is doable. Buying second-hand is not out of the question.
That's about all I think. Ask for more information if necessary. All tips and suggestions highly appreciated.

Bump & changed my request to better fit my current needs.
according to google thats about $650 USD. I can honestly say thats beyond my personal budget so I cant give any first hand info. I can say what I have seen and drooled over though. The Aiaiai TM1 for starters. Also, the Senn stuff is nice but from what I have heard, not enough punch to satisfy me typically. If you can do it, go with open for home. I personally cant because I have small kids and one of my primary uses of headphones is to not disturb others, so I always go closed. The ATH-M50 is on my list as well as the Klipsch Image One. Neckband sets are hard to find these days. How about clip ons?
as far as the amp goes, what is your source? there are plenty of sources that don't benefit much from amps like the J3 and some even say the Rockboxed Clip +. I dont know how much of my budget I would shift to it personally. If you do, the FiiO products seem reasonable.
My personal choice would be:
- The ATH-M50's or Beyerdynamic DT770's for home use, although you could go any way with this depending on what you want; these two are good contenders.
As a side note, you can get the ATH-M50's for 145 here - it's the cheapest place I managed to find.
- Panasonic RP-HJE900 Zirconia for outside use, mainly because IEM's offer better isolation. Don't know where to find these for a respectable price though, so I think you'd be better off searching for something else that strikes your fancy.
- Headstage Arrow 12HE amp. About 200 + shipping and no DAC, but I'm doubtful about the need for either of them anyways.
Equipment: iPod Nano 3G, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, Sennheiser CX300-II
My source(s) are Cowon X7 & 6th gen iPod Classic for outdoors, and basically my comp for home use (a DAC would be great for this reason, right?). Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into all of them.
What seems like the most plausible package for me at the moment is HD 650, iGrado or SR80i & the FiiO E16 combination. This way I'd get the high end headphones for pure SQ (and they'd be Sennheisers, which is great as I love the Sennheiser sound with everything but rock), a good DAC, a good portable amp and a pretty good desktop amp to help power the 650's. Plus the Grados are -- from what I've heard -- pretty much the best phones for rock and such, which is really the only thing I'm currently missing entirely. Thoughts on this set-up?
It roughly translates into 650€. Which is quite a bit truth be told, but hey money is just paper and metal if you don't use it, right
Still wanting more tips of course!
One last bump, in hopes of getting the final 'Yeah go ahead, that seems like a nice set', or a 'No no no, don't buy that, this will suit your needs much better!'.
The first package that I will order during january will most likely be:
- A pair of SR80i's
- FiiO E7
- FiiO E9
- A pair of PortaPros, just to see what all the fuzz is about
And later on this year:
-Sennheiser HD 650's
Totaling in about 650.
A good entry level set on top of what I already have, that'll hopefully get me through 2011 without need for more upgrades, yes?
My only comment is "you want to spend how much?" 650? I wish I had that kind of money to spare.
Currently I own a Pico amp/DAC, WA6, hd650s and some portable iem's. I've been using this gear for a long time now and still very happy with my set up, no plans on any current changes either. That said per your budget I would not recommend what I have due to budget, but if I were looking for a new amp/DAC I'd certainly give the iBasso D2+ Boa a chance, it's a $169.00 usb amp/DAC with 2 gain setting that should drive most phones fine and for in home phones I'd go hd650s, they're awesome. For portable use I'd go cheap till you have the cash to upgrade if needed, there's plenty of good iem's out there for under a hundred that should suffice, take a look at some of uncle Wilsons gear at jaben like the hippo VB or if you can find the Panasonic RP-HJE900 around $89 to $110, jump on them, good luck and enjoy ♪ ♪ ♪

The HD 650's are quite amazing. They are good for pretty much anything and they do not have excessive bass.
@ FreeZ5
Heh... All about budgeting And since music is my most beloved hobby (sports, cooking, coffee, cheap cognac, expensive women and videogames tie for second) I figured it's worth an extra dime or two to bring out the full enjoyment in it.
@ WalkGood
I already have two (actually three, since my Sony's started working again for no apparent reason) pairs of cheap portable phones (KSC 24's, PMX 90's and aforementioned StreetStyles [MDR-G74SL]), and three pairs of cheap earphones (including the horrible iBuds), so I figured SR80i's would be a nice improvement for portable use -- which is a huge part of everyday life for me -- even though they apparently aren't the most portable phones around. But thanks for the suggestions, I'll check out the iBasso and the Hippos (who came up with that name? The last thing I want to stuck in my ear is a hippo.. or an alligator... but I digress), though I think the Grados will still have the lead in my list. I've heard absolutely nothing but good things about them.
@ Satellite 6
I heard good things about the Alessandros at Head-Fi as well, but didn't check them out all that thoroughly. Guess I'll give it another go. Someone said the sound they provide is slightly Sennheiser-ish, ie. relaxed/laidback. Which splits me two-ways and tickles me twice in different places, since I really love the Sennheiser sound with everything BUT rock, and the phones I buy within the next few weeks are supposed to just be great with Rock/heavy/metal. That's the only thing I want from them, and from what I heard, Grado is the master of this specific niche market.
Thanks for the replies,
You do not want to use Grados as portable phones. Everyone will hear what you are listening to except yourself.
Equipment: iPod Nano 3G, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, Sennheiser CX300-II

Well I've used neckband phones for the past decade, let's just say sound leak doesn't bother me that much I've also used the 428's as portable phones, so the long cord doesn't really bother me either. That's what pockets are for, right.
I'm still leaning towards the FiiO package after reading some more reviews, and my only real choice now is between the Alessandro and Grado for portable use. I'd save at least 40€ with the Alessandros (cheapest SR80i's in Finland are 129€ + postal, and that's cheaper than buying from overseas, while Alessandros apparently ship from USA for 99$ -- which is basically free if you ask me).
But ignoring the price, which isn't really a question at this point, which pair is better for PURELY rock/metal/heavy: SR80i or MS1's?
I heard someone say that MS1's are relaxed -- too relaxed even, which is what I'm not looking for now. If it wasn't for this one comment I would have already ordered them probably.
Odd, I've read they are smoother than Grados but they are still supposed to be forward sounding and great for Rock. I doubt they sound anything like Sennheisers, especially the HD 650's which are very analytical/liad back - which might be a good or bad thing. . .
Maybe PM this guy about the differences: http://www.head-fi.org/user/olor1n

Feb. 26 #CUSAGOLF Player of the Week
Feb. 26, 2014
IRVING, Texas - Louisiana Tech sophomore Victor Lange and Rice freshman Kevin Reilly have been named the Conference USA co-Golfers of the Week following solid performances at the Bayou City Collegiate Championship.
Co-Men's Golfer of the Week - Victor Lange, Louisiana Tech, So., Johannesburg, South Africa
Lange shot 7-under-par (71-67-71=209) at the Bayou City Collegiate Championship to finish in a tie for second. On Saturday, he shot a 5-under-par 67 marking the second-best round for any player in that tournament to that point. His 67 score on the second day marked a career-low round for the sophomore from Johannesburg, South Africa, and also marked the best round of any Conference USA golfer this week. With his second-place finish, Lange was named to the All-Tournament Team. Lange's best hole of the tournament came on the par-5 hole No. 8 where he shot 5-under for the tournament as he eagled the hole on Saturday and Sunday (birdied Friday). This is the first Conference USA weekly honor of Lange's career.
Co-Men's Golfer of the Week - Kevin Reilly, Rice, Fr., Oviedo, Fla.
Reilly led the Owls throughout the final two rounds of play at the Bayou City Collegiate Championship, finishing in ninth place with a 4-under 211 (71-71-69). The rookie carded 10 birdies over 54 holes, including four in Sunday's final round. His 39 pars ranked in the top 10 of the strong national field, and he posted a cumulative four-under on the event's par fives. Reilly leads Rice with a 72.44 stroke average on the season and this week's event was his third top-10 finish of the 2013-14 campaign. The Owls, who placed sixth overall, finished ahead of No. 14 USF and all three competing C-USA teams at the event (Charlotte, Louisiana Tech, UTSA). This is the first Golfer of the Week honor of Reilly's career.

Is it okay to breast feed and give formula to a 61/2 month old?
My son is now 61/2 months old and I am going back to work full time... This is my first child so I didn't plan in advance to pump and save as much as I wished I had. If my body will continue to produce milk, is it safe and okay for me to breast feed in the evening or on weekends when I am with him and formula feed during the day?

I breastfed and formula fed my daughter up until 5 months old then it was formula only. It's perfectly ok. You just might have to try some different type of formulas to see which one works for him and is easy to digest.posted 01/25/2013 by REXC

Tahiti Vacation
People choose to take a vacation in Tahiti for a whole host of different reasons, and who can blame them. Ahhhh, the South Pacific, the exquisite islands of French Polynesia, if this ain't the perfect island getaway then I don't know what is. Tahiti, an island paradise the way it should be, the way it used to be, and the way it still can be.
Tahiti Vacation For The Family
Tahiti has lots to offer for the entire family, and children are so welcome in Tahiti that they are often invited to stay and eat for free, depending on the Tahiti vacation deal you choose. White sandy beaches, turquoise water filled with an abundance of vibrant marine life, rugged mountains and enough culture and history to shake a stick at . . . yep, the whole family will enjoy a Tahiti vacation, whether you choose to do a little island hopping or stay in one place, Tahiti is a family vacation paradise.
Okay, you've talked me into it, I want to go and I want to go NOW!
Tahiti Vacation for Honeymooners
Not surprisingly Tahiti is also a very popular vacation destination for honeymooners – those who maybe don't have kids yet (or maybe they do). It's pretty difficult to imagine a more romantic honeymoon destination than Tahiti with many ways to escape from the outside world – maybe a private island picnic close to Bora Bora or a secluded overwater bungalow where your breakfast will be delivered by canoe . . . not too early thank you! All in all, Tahiti is the perfect place to start your new life together.
It don't get more romantic than that does it?
Tahiti Vacation Cruise
Another very popular way to include Tahiti in your vacation plans is to cruise around the islands, taking in the very best that the islands of French Polynesia has to offer. Cruising around the South Pacific, now that's what I call livin'.
The entertainment's not bad either . . .
Tahiti Diving & Snorkeling Vacation
In order to make the very best of your Tahiti vacation, you should really think about taking in the whole Tahiti experience both on dry land and under the water. The whole Tahiti diving and snorkeling experience is second to none, no wonder so many people head out there every year to discover and re-discover the amazing underwater world of the South Pacific. It'll take your breath away (even before you're tank has run dry).
Wowee, it looks a little bit crowded down there. There's no shortage of wonderful things to see, under the sea, on your Tahiti vacation.

I've always been a pen-and-paper kind of gal. My son recently plopped next to me on the couch with his baby book—he's eight, so he is sadly a long way from those baby days—and I was reminded of why I love written sentiments so much. We sat there curled up under a blanket, flipping pages, laughing and getting a little sentimental (OK, a lot sentimental) about how much he's grown. I was so thankful that I had taken the time to record all those little moments. Online memories are great, but I'm telling you—there's something special about holding that book in your hands and sharing it with your children. I encourage you to print some pictures, jot some notes—create an old school baby book. You won't be sorry you did.
And to get you started, here are a few books to choose from. Some are traditional, some a little less so (I personally loveMom's Five-Second Memory Journal, since five seconds is all too often all the free time I can find in my day).

Ah, the British summer. Isn't that what we all say? But if you were out on the Common yesterday (Sunday 9th) you may well have been one of the hundreds, nay, thousands who turned up to sit, lie, throw, walk, run, cycle, eat or, like me, sit under a tree because your bike is broken.
Picture this, it's a lovely, warm summer's day, you have a brand new sparkly cycle in the garage awaiting your attention. Tentatively you wheel your new item of steely delight into the sun, and see yourself atop, cruising the gentle slopes of the common with the wind in your hair and... yes, until the damn thing breaks and you have to walk it a mile home.
And so once again, I sat beneath one of the many oaks that the Common proudly has and ate an ice-cream; not even the ice-cream of choice because some little sweaty oik probably ate the last one moments ago.
Nevertheless, after almost being hit by one rugby ball, tennis ball, and other cyclists (with fully functioning bikes of course), it's difficult not to enjoy and appreciate the space and the green, especially on a day like today when the clouds have once again taken over.

The majority of my pieces are created from local trees that have succumbed to wind, disease, or urban expansion. I derive a great amount of pleasure from making things of beauty out of material that was destined for the landfill or the fireplace.
I find working with wood analogous to working with people. Each piece of wood is unique, and quite frequently has a mind of it's own. It's sometimes a challenge to find and expose the inner beauty, but it is an enjoyable and rewarding process.
Growing up on a farm in Northern Illinois, raised by depression era parents, the idea of ever becoming an artist had never crossed my mind. Now, after careers in fisheries biology and computer networking, I find myself a full time artist. I took up woodturning in 1999 and it has since become my passion and my addiction. I am the Secretary of the Bay Area Woodturners Association and a member of American Association of Woodturners as well as the World of Woodturners.
