Save your cash and use Handbrake
This works very well! Demo version works for first 5 DVS's
it ripped a dvd that had a severe scratch with 3 faulty chapters - two of them were ripped successfully! (
mactheripper "gave up" - I could only rip chapters).
ripping features like "main movie" etc. are missing unfortunately - maybe coming up (it's just v1.0)?
anyway I highly recommend it.

Boston terror will benefit the NRA, hurt gun control
Richard Feldman, a New Hampshire-based pro-gun activist of less extreme views than LaPierre's, articulated this position via e-mail this morning: "Locked down in your home with a likely terrorist hiding out amongst you, who right now wishes they didn't have the means, the only tool that could effectively stop that fugitive if he broke into your apartment or home where your family is huddled?"

CC Creams For Every Skin Tone
The Girls star looked like a vision in white, but it was really her stunning lined eyes, dusty rose lip, and swept-back updo that stole the show for us.
Looking like an absolute doll in her floral, flouncy dress, the singer added to her innocent appearance with a romantic, half-up curled 'do and a barely-there makeup.

Achieving those many benefits, however, will require adopting new ways of working and a new outlook on good manufacturing practices (GMPs). What will QbD mean in that regard? The answer lies in the convergence of science and compliance at the heart of QbD: (1) robust processes designed to provide statistically defined performance characteristics that ultimately result in products with a defined target product profile, and (2) good biopharmaceutical quality, defined as an acceptably low risk of failing to achieve the target profile. In other words, QbD combines increased scientific understanding of products and processes with the risk-based compliance that such understanding makes possible.This convergence of science and compliance will profoundly affect all areas of GMPs, including the nearly 20 such areas covered in the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q7 guideline.1 Each GMP could, of course, be the subject of extended discussion in light of QbD, but more generally, the convergence of science and compliance will mean:
Under QbD, GMPs will be reconceived as a framework, rather than as the driver, for the performance of risk-based, flexible processes. In other words, if biopharmaceutical companies are to maximize the benefits of QbD, the technical and compliance revolution it embodies will need to be accompanied by a cultural and organizational revolution.
Most companies have spent years carefully establishing and elaborating the steps involved in the manufacturing of biopharmaceutical products—from the initial cell culture vial through scale-up, bioreactor production, downstream processing, formulation, filling, and packaging. Not surprisingly, this approach has encouraged the development of functional silos, each narrowly focused on its area of expertise, inhibiting the diffusion and integration of knowledge throughout the organization.
This model of drug production, with little crossfunctional involvement after each hand-off to another function, and with quality ensured through analytical testing near the end of the process, has served biopharmaceutical companies reasonably well for decades. But with tighter regulation and cost pressures that now reach into development and manufacturing, companies are seeking more efficiency in manufacturing processes by improving process understanding and control.
QbD, with its aim of achieving a scientific understanding of manufacturing processes as early in the development process as possible, and of enabling continuous improvement in manufacturing, requires a much more integrated and holistic approach by staff in all functional areas. For example, in elucidating and, in particular, documenting the process design space (defined in ICH Q82), development groups may need to operate with an increased attention to GMP guidelines because the data they develop by using design of experiments (DOE) to define the design space will be used to support manufacturing decisions to the FDA. Analytical and bioanalytical support functions will share in the responsibilities for this key element of process design and control.
In essence, succeeding with QbD requires creating a continuous feedback loop between development and manufacturing, with upstream, downstream, and analytical personnel increasingly looking as far down the production process as possible, and manufacturing personnel reaching back into earlier stages of development, all tied tightly together by improved communication and documentation facilitated through IT groups.

Switch Ferns' decision to change parties good news
November 29, 2013
It should not have come as a surprise to those who have watched W.Va. Delegate Ryan Ferns that he decided to leave the Democrat Party and become a Republican....
It's obvious to me that Elkins and Nellie watch Fox news often. I have no idea what Fox news airs as I have not had cable or satellite tv for 5 years now. But Elkins and Nellie seem to be fascinated with Fox. They are the ONLY ones who continue speaking of them. It's really weird as they are nonthinking democrats too. Hmm...
If pretending you know anything about me Elkins, Nellie is all you have to add to the discussion; well, truthfully, you've wasted your time. As I am more mature than you two children; your comments do not upset me. You might want to try to mature a little more. People just laugh at your childish remarks. And you contribute nothing to the topics at hand. You don't even have enough education to give an "opinion" on this topic. Careful; your character is showing. Not to mention, your education level.

Being a republican Means: 1 Watch only Fox news 2 Over 60 whait male 3 Hate anyone not like you 4 Worship Rush Limbaugh 5 Hate the First Black President 6 Insult and trash all poor people 7 Claim that you care for people but make sure you keep the meek down. 8 make sure only the rich get richer follow all of those steps and your are a good republican.

He's learned that being a democrat means you MUST agree 100% with democrats on everything. You cannot 'think' for yourself, 'question' their motives, or publicly go against anything they want!
Yeah those 'tolerant' democrats. LOL. Dems are the most intolerant and hypocritical people out there. They scream tolerance for others yet show NONE for anyone else.
They scream racism yet show us their racist sides daily.
Now they're wanting people to work for their OFA (Organizing For Action) liberals out of Chicago and the employees must be willing to 'lobby' for 'living wages' but get this: they want you to work doing this ...(here it comes) for FREE!!! LOL. Talk about hypocrites and irony!!!

I wouldn't vote for him because once a liberal 'always' a liberal. Switching to another party doesn't change ones 'views' and 'opinions' about anything.
Dems are finding out after 5 years of total failures, incompetence and dismissing their own voters and acting arrogantly and calling their own constituents 'terrorists' and worse, that we are not going to take it any longer. You ALL are gone next election.
NOW the idiots on the left wake up! A little too late. You wrote your own career killer when you arrogantly dismissed us and went along with the socialist agenda of Obama's in '08/'09 and stupidly refused to even READ the bill before commenting, promising, and passing the most ignorantly written bill ever to pass congress.
And I would like to REMIND you all, not ONE republican voted for this piece of socialist crap. ALL democrats DID!

MaryKay~Congratulations on your AWESOME HM in Philly! Twenty-eight minutes faster than in Colombus, and a quantum leap from Flying Pig! So happy you enjoyed celebrating with DD. After all of the blood, sweat & tears you shed this summer, you kept moving forward. So proud of you! Bravo on shaving 2 minutes off your best 10k time, also. Don't you love when that happens! All the best to you as you continue to strive toward next year's goals -- You can do it!
az2mn~Thanksgiving took on new meaning for the elder lady! Glad you were there. Sorry about the snow, get ready for your first winter in MN. I've dusted off the x-country skis & snowshoes -- ready for it!
Nan~Happy to read the PT is helping. Mud Run looks, eh....fun? Congrats on the 5k PR, too!
Bill~Welcome back, and good news about your foot. Hope your family Thanksgiving run was great!
WDWRich~Bet the 10k in San Diego was great. Love that town!
kathruns~ Welcome back, WooHoo on your speedy 5k! WTG!
Steve~Did the Galloway "motivation" work for you? Hope you were able to get in some miles before the thermometer dipped.
Webpro~Hang in there, buddy! Hope the toe is feeling better.
I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family & friends!
The Thank You 10k here in San Diego was fun. "Challenge Hill" between miles 5 and 6 kicked my butt a bit, so my time was two minutes slower than my training runs (58 mins as opposed to the 56 mins I have been running in training.) My wife did the 5k and enjoyed the free Karl Strauss beer at the end of the race.
Next race will be the Resolution 15k in January.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Ogre44~Sory, missed your post! Welcome, and although you are just a "youngster", we're happy to have you join our group. Morton Arboretum - one of my favorite places to visit. I didn't realize they had arun there. Might have to check it out.
Participated in 2 5k's over the holiday weekend. Thanksgiving Day was spent w/ family and friends running the inaugural Drumstick Dash 5k run/walk. Over 2600 participated, amazing for a first time event and on a holiday. Lots of $$$ and provisions brought to fill a local food bank. It was held at the State Fair grounds and part of the course was run on the historic Milwaukee Mile race track. Lots of folks in the spirit of the holiday were dressed as turkeys, Pilgirms and many wearing theme headgear - hilarious! My goal for the race was to enjoy running with fam and friends and to test pacing for another race on the weekend. The weather was lovely for November in the upper midwest; sunny, 58-degrees, with some wind only noticible on the open race track. Finished in 31:45 with negative splits which told me my pacing plan for Sunday looked promising. Festive, fun event and plan to make it a holiday tradition!
Ran the second of six winter races yesterday. Sunny, but with temps at 23-degrees and a NW wind! The goal was to come in under 30 minutes, and with a flat course I was hopeful I could get 'r done! I decided to move up to the mid-pack area of the start line area. I usually stand back at the rear because I am not fond of the "crunch' of people when the start gun goes off. I recognized a woman in my AG who runs at the pace I needed to run to come in under 30. I asked if she minded me pacing with her and she welcomed me. The first mile was run much faster than I normally go out, but I was determined to keep up, although my lungs were screaming to stop! I had been doing tempo runs and some speedwork the past few weeks, and I told myself, "You are not going to die, just keep going!" At the 2 mile flag I was still holding pace, but my right shoelace(which never became untied before!) was slapping against my ankle. I pulled over to the side, retied it which isn't easy with gloved fingers! I kept the gal I was running w/ in sight and tried to keep calm and move up. As I approached the 3 mile flag on a small hill....WHAT?!?! The other shoelace became untied! Pulled to the side again, retied it and thought there is no way I'm doing this today. Turned the corner for the final .1 mile and my eyes located the clock reading 29:"something". I didn't think - just ran - whoo, made it! Guntime 29:53, chip time 29:25. So happy to have accomplished this goal, but lesson learned about checking those pesky shoelaces at the start line. Found and thanked my pacer friend, enjoyed some post-race goodies and celebrated with a delicious breakfast with DH and DSx2!
Run strong this week, friends!
So proud of your determination and back to back races: VERY IMPRESSIVE!!
If you had that pacer in your first 5K, I know you would have been WAAAY under the 30 minute chiptime.
You muscles had enough rest I guess but those pesky laces ........... your speedwork training paid off!!
I'm definitely not a 'sprinter' which is what the 5K and 10K are to me so I run them on very rare occasions.
Despite the rain and thunder, I had a trail race once and most of the runners were dealing with loose mud packed and soaking wet laces for most of the race in the rocky mt terrain.
Running with loose laces slapping against your calves, in the rain, HURTS!! and leaves marks too!!
But in the end, it was one of the best and enjoyable races I ran in, many of the runners had the same opinion, with big smiles and laughing crossing the finish line, covered in mud and soggy from head to toe: was awesome!!
Snow is everywhere here in northern MN; sunny today so it's such a beautiful winter wonderland! Going for a short run!
Trail runner
How wonderful that you and your wife run!
Not too many couples will or can.
As my husband always says: "not everyone should or can run"
He is my loyal spectator. He is more of a swimmer, mt biker, walker and hiker.
My intensity demands more intense activity so I enjoy my trail running and races.
Is your wife running the Women's Half Marathon/5K event in San Diego in Feb.?
It's part of a series and San Diego was added to the series for Feb. 2013.
It's not the Rock and Roll event, that is usually held in June.
I am hoping to run a trail marathon in San Francisco in Feb. but if it falls through I may join my 15 yr old niece in San Diego for the Women's race event.
I'll run the HM but she will be running her first race, the 5K, and she asked me for pointers.
I paid for her entry fee as a gift. Maybe she'll get the running bug, haha!
Trail runner
That looks like so much fun ........... your smile gives it away
I was hoping to run the HM in Tempe on Dec. 2nd but my schedule doesn't allow me the time and I don't feel ready anyway.
But I am hoping to run the women's 10 miler event in Fountain Hills on Dec. 16th.
Where is the Bay of Fundy marathon?
Trail runner
Thanks az2mn. Due to a foot issue, my wife power walks 5k races. I'll be running the San Diego HM in March, and she'll do the 5k with one of her friends. We're both 59, and really enjoy these events.

Wow, I've got some reading to catch up on! Lots of posts! One quickie....Debra......way to go!! Awesome 5K!!
Quick report for me, still training for Goofy. Did 20 miles today w/ DD. She was not feeling well,otherwise we would have done 23, but figured 20 would suffice. I did 10 mile walk Saturday by self....that is long & boring, but learned I can do it too. I do all my midweek runs by myself, but the long stuff I really prefer having a partner. The wak should have been done the day before the long run to prep for the Goofy, but since my family celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday, the logistics just didn't work. Besides, I think preparing for 31 ppl for dinner was a marathon in itself!
Take care all of you mighty masters and happy running.

Debra- I know you'd do it soon! Way to go!! Considering the darn shoe laces, you obliterated that 30 minute goal. Enjoy that feeling!
Marie- I was wondering how the goofy training was going. It looks like you are doing those long miles just fine; it can be tough to be out there that long; it really does develop the mental as well as physical stamina, I think.
Active had me blocked for most of the last week. DS & I did the small local turkey trot, they netted food items for the local food pantry, and we enjoyed a near 5K run, most of it along the Baraboo river walk. Nice and scenic. You were right Debra, Thursday was an amazing late November day in Wisconsin, perfect for the run. I've managed an easy 5 miles Saturday on my rural roads, and 2 mi on TM this morning.
Run strong and safe this week friends.

Thanks, Marie! Nice work on those training walks and runs. Dan's right about building mental toughness on those long, solitary training days. I know you're ready to take it on. If you can plan, prepare and serve Thanksgiving dinner for 31 people between a 10 mile walk and a 20 mile run..... Goofy's Challenge will be a piece of cake!
ax2mn~ Thanks so much! I also prefer longer distances, but not many events here in SE Wisconsin until May. I just read about a Trail HM/FM in Upper MIchigan(not sure where you are located in MN). It is the Grand Island Trail located near Munising, MI on Lake Superior. Sounded beautiful! Check out www. greatlakesendurance.com
Dan~Thank you! One more 5k for me this year, so hopefully I can repeat it to prove it wasn't a fluke! Glad you enjoyed running the Turkey Trot with you DS. Sounds like a beautiful route along the river. I haven't signed up for the DCHM, yet. That weekend is proving to be very busy for our family, and it still 6 months away! If it falls through, some young women from church have asked me to be part of a relay team for the Fall 50 that runs from Gills Rock to Sturgeon Bay. As you can imagine, much of the route is filled with hills. Lovely women (who are all young enough to be my daughters), and I'm looking forward to training with them.
Heading out for an easy 4 miles today. Bright and sunny, but 15 degrees! Time to put on layers! Run strong, friends!
girlintheorchard: Thanks! I will check that out, I should be around in May. I live in Bemidji, MN but not a stranger to traveling for new races, especially trail events!!
I tried to run yesterday but the MN cold went through my bones even though I was covered head to toe, wearing a balaclava too, in winter gear!! After a half mile, I had to go home!! Such a wimp, haha!! But I didn't want to get sick again and miss out on races I have paid for!! I've lived in ND for ten years, and in CO as well so I am not new to winter conditions, and while living in northern AZ, I have run on mt trails in the snow, low temps and at a higher elevation, and I do fine. So wierd!! I'm sure I have to adapt to the MN winter and that means staying in one place for a longer amount of time which is not possible lately. Anyway, my schedule should slow down in Feb, and will spend more time in MN, which will still be experiencing WINTER so I guess I need to invest in a TM: I'm more depressed now, haha!!
I want to kick some butt in my next race, a 10 miler in the PHX area so I am anxious to train on my mt trails in northern AZ next week!! Got lots of mileage to make up for!!
Stay healthy, warm and safe everyone!

Please excuse the intrusion,but I'm new to the sight. I don't see a place where I can make a post other than replying to someone's post. Can you tell me where I can find the post button?
Debra-I loved your race story. I had a shoe lace situation come up a Turkey Trot race couple years ago. I was having a good run and there was a big downhill right before the finish (steep to). Half way down my shoe untied and I probably lost a minute trying to re-tie it in 15 degree weather. The important thing is that I still beat my brother . Sounds like you really challenged yourself in that race and it showed by your impressive results.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colo. (KKCO) – The Colorado State Patrol will team up with local law enforcement agencies during the Labor Day weekend for increased DUI patrol saturation in Eagle County.
The Gore Range DUI Task Force – which includes the Eagle County Sheriff's Office, Vail Police Department, Avon Police Department, Eagle Police Department and the Colorado State Patrol – will conduct various DUI checkpoints throughout the county in an effort to keep intoxicated persons off the roadways.
The goal is to reverse a trend of deadly summer months caused by alcohol- and drug-impaired drivers. Last year in Colorado, 67 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day, representing 36 percent of the 185 alcohol-related traffic fatalities in 2011. Those fatalities were up 19 percent last year from a record low 150 deaths involving alcohol in 2010.
"The fact that alcohol-related traffic deaths went up last year should be a wake-up call to everyone. Drunk and drug-impaired driving remains a serious crime in our state, and it's time we all work together to put an end to it and save lives," said Colonel James Wolfinbarger, Chief of the Colorado State Patrol. "Citizens can do their part by reporting suspected drunk drivers – by dialing Star CSP/*277 a free cell call – and by taking responsibility to plan ahead by designating a sober driver or taking public transportation if celebrating with alcohol.
"And please remember to always buckle up – three out of four people killed last year in drunk-driving crashes were not wearing a seat belt."
The minimum cost for a first-time DUI is $10,270. A DUI arrest will also result in jail time, loss of a driver's license or ignition interlock, mandatory alcohol education classes and community service. For more consequences, resources and to find out what happens after a DUI arrest, visit www.NoDUIcolorado.org.
"The consequences of impaired driving can be devastating financially and personally, but become even more severe if you injure or kill someone. DUIs and alcohol-related fatalities are totally preventable when people plan ahead and make the right choice," said Darrell Lingk, director of CDOT's Office of Transportation Safety. "CDOT will continue to support statewide law enforcement agencies with state and federal grants, as well as with public education campaigns like the Heat Is On to help keep drunk and drugged drivers off our roadways."

HOUSTON (October 3, 2012)--People living in traditionally black Harris County neighborhoods received a disproportionate share of letters advising them that they were in danger of having their voter registration canceled because they were presumed dead, according to an analysis by the Houston Chronicle.
The newspaper reported Wednesday that its analysis of 9,000 notifications showed that about a third coming from one county commission district established as a minority opportunity district.
Widespread complaints about attempts to purge the rolls of deceased voters led Harris County to call off any action prior to the Nov. 6 election.
County officials said 32 percent of the voters who received the notices have confirmed that they are alive.
A September 2011 Texas law required the Secretary of State to compare Social Security death data to voter records and cleanse rolls.

What you should be doing if you want to have the same substantive effect from the left that the Tea Party Caucus had from the right in this Congress is backing a Democratic representative who will join the Congressional Progressive Caucus. On balance, that group is a lot more on your side than Obama has been.

You look back at how Bush was able to do everything that he wanted. And with Obama, they won't let him do anything without getting something they want. They are so much better at negotiations.
It sort of upsets me that all of the 3rd party steam that was building in the early 2000s was killed by democrats that blamed Nader voters for getting Bush reelected. Even here on the forum, voting 3rd party was seen as a vote for the Republicans. The embryos and shambahlas of the world beat us over the head with that shit.
We looked at Bush and a possible McCain as the end of the world and we compromised our ideas in order to get a democrat in office. And then the Republicans still run shit.
The separation between red and blue feels greater than it ever has. I'm sort of at a loss. Maybe it's time to just drop out.
tommi teardrop wrote: The failed opportunity of having our own version of Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman in Ralph Nader. Having someone whose threat to run 3rd party could convince the Democratic Party to move further to the left.
It feels like we missed out on a huge opportunity just because we feared Republicans so much. The blame is all over the place. If only we could have realised that Republicans only pose a threat if Democrats in congress allow them to do whatever they want. Otherwise they would be just as ineffective as Obama has been. At least Republicans have leaders that fight (or appear to fight) for the bullshit they advocate.
I almost feel ashamed of myself for voting democrat at this point. The health care compromise. Continuing these wars. Renewing the tax cuts.
"The only true aging is the erosion of one's ideals."
Most of us showed our age over the last 12 years. Afraid of being grouped with libertarians or conspiracy theorists. So we just bought into the democratic party bullshit. smh.

ABC News wrote: A government official tells ABC News that the federal government is expecting and preparing for bond rating agency Standard & Poors to downgrade the rating of US debt from its current AAA value.
Official reasons given, he official says, will be the political confusion surrounding the process of raising the debt ceiling, and lack of confidence that the political system will be able to agree to more deficit reduction. A source says Republicans saying that they refuse to accept any tax increases as part of a larger deal will be part of the reason cited.
The official was unsure if the bond rating would be AA+ or AA.
Another government official confirms the Obama administration is preparing for the downgrade but is not 100% positive its going to happen, and if it does happen officials are not sure when it will happen.
Before ratings agencies issue a downgrade, there is often some back and forth that goes on behind the scenes. Treasury Department officials have been making the case for months that S&P should not downgrade US debt.

One local charity received a big boost Saturday morning as a local developer gave it thousands of dollars to help pay for a project that will give homes to the homeless.
Driving along White Avenue, Grand Junction residents may have noticed a brand new apartment complex in the heart of downtown. It's a place that dozens of people living on the streets will soon get to call home.
"I don't know how I would sustain myself if I had some of the obstacles in my life that they've had," said Sister Karen Bland, Executive Director of the Grand Valley Catholic Outreach.
The Catholic Outreach says its new homes for the homeless project is almost complete. And while the costs of construction are all paid off, running the facility is a different story.
"We have to pay for insurance," said Sister Bland. "We have to pay for lighting and heating."
That's where local developer ISC, LLC. comes in. The group, who built and maintains an affordable housing development called Cezanne Court, presented a check for $7,500 to the Catholic Outreach Saturday morning.
"People can make a huge difference by casting a stone into the river and changing it's course," said Clark Atkinson, a developer for ISC.
Atkinson says he and his group truly understand the importance of helping families afford a home. When he heard about the Catholic Outreach's new development, he says he was more than happy to lend a hand.
"We just see the Catholic Outreach as making a huge difference in our community," said Atkinson. "It was a natural fit with what our philosophy is in this development."
Sister Bland says the money will be used to help furnish the 23 units and pay for utilities.
"When a person walks in there they'll have everything that they need to begin living like you and I," said Sister Bland.
Atkinson says that as his remaining units in Cezanne Court are sold, he will donate $600 for each one. An act of kindness, Sister Bland says she and the new tenants of the complex will never forget.
"You just thank God, because if you put it in God's hands, things do happen," said Sister Bland.
The homes for the homeless complex will officially open with a dedication ceremony June 12.

Ferris wheel ride world record broken in Chicago
Published: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 11:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 11:46 a.m.
CHICAGO (AP) — A manager of Chicago's Navy Pier rode the tourist spot's Ferris wheel for more than two days, bringing the world record for the longest ride to the birthplace of the amusement park favorite.
Clinton Shepherd spent 48 hours, 8 minutes and 25 seconds riding Navy Pier's Ferris wheel over the weekend. Shepherd is park operations manager at Navy Pier.
He calls it "a very overwhelming experience," made easier by the support of friends, family and the city of Chicago.
Guinness World Records allowed him to have one five-minute break each hour. He played hours of videogames to stay awake during the ride, and watched James Bond and Batman movies. Supporters followed him on Twitter.
The first Ferris wheel was built in 1893 in Chicago for the World's Columbian Exposition.

4.2-26 Anticipatory Breach (Repudiation)
New June 1, 2012
The plaintiff claims that the defendant committed
an anticipatory breach of the contract.
An anticipatory breach of contract occurs when one party to a contract indicates
that (he/she/it) will not perform (his/her/its) obligations under the contract
before the time for performance has arrived.
This indication can occur either by a statement that the party will not
perform or by an act that indicates an unwillingness to perform.
If you find that the defendant did anticipatorily breach the
contract by <describe>, then the plaintiff may recover
damages from the defendant without having to await the time for
the defendant's performance under the contract.
In order to recover damages based on an anticipatory breach of
contract, the plaintiff must also prove that (he/she/it) would
have been able to perform under the contract on the date set for

Bridgeport, Inc., 28 Conn.
App. 460, 465, cert. denied, 223 Conn. 926 (1992).
The so-called nonbreaching party's ability to recover for anticipatory
breach is limited by his ability to perform under the contract.
"ln order to establish that the defendants anticipatorily breached the
contract, the plaintiff must be able to show that it would have been able to
perform its obligations on the date set for performance."

there would have been a total failure by the injured party to perform his return
promise." 2 Restatement (Second),
Contracts § 254, p. 290 (1981).
"Repudiation can occur either by a statement that the promisor
will not perform or by a voluntary, affirmative act that
indicates inability, or apparent inability, substantially to
perform." Gilman

Secrets of Bioshock Infinite
On Tuesday, after years of waiting, video game fans will finally get to play BioShock Infinite, the highly anticipated release from Take-Two Interactive. While there's been lots of talk about the game's floating city and allusions to the notion of American exceptionalism, the thing gamers are really excited about is the return of Ken Levine, 46.
Mr. Levine, creative director at Irrational Games in Quincy, Mass., was the creator of 2007s "BioShock," but wasn't involved in the game's second installment. The reason? "I was doing this," he said in a recent interview, referring to "BioShock Infinite."
For those who aren't familiar with the BioShock series, the games serve as a kind of laboratory for a certain political philosophies. The first two games were about Rapture, an underwater city founded by a wealthy industrialist as a haven for libertarian thinking. With Mr. Levine's return comes a new city, Columbia, that sits in the clouds above America and whose citizens consider themselves better than the Americans who live below them.
Mr. Levine talked with the Journal about the new game's setting, how he struck on the idea of centering video games around philosophy and history, and some of his influences for the new game.
On why he wasn't involved in BioShock 2:
Part of the coolness of BioShock was the newness of the place and without that we didn't see a story to tell. We started thinking about what we could do to excite ourselves. We went into a cocoon for six months and figured it out.
My philosophy is I'm in or I'm out. I respect those guys (the developers at 2K Marin, who built the game). But I felt it was there game. I played it and learned about is a gamer.
On his idea to center BioShock around a libertarian utopia:
There never was a Randian utopia. I think a lot of people think about but there never was really was one. It was fun as a piece of fiction to imagine it. I think there's a vision people have of an America that once was but never actually was. It's an idealized vision of the past when everybody got along and was the same, before there was conflict. I always like these ideas of (systems) that haven't been tested or can't be tested.
On using the world of video games to run thought experiments on various political philosophies:
I tend to lack a lot of political certainty. I keep up to date and read a lot of newspapers and blogs. The more certain the partisanship is the more uncomfortable I get. I think that things once they hit the real world and leave the laboratory if they tend to get really (messed) up. Animal farm is one of my favorite books of all time.
One of the nice things about these games is you can make these little laboratories. When you read Atlas Shrugged Rand is making all the rules. Everything works the way she wants it to. I try to give her a fair shake. I tried to give Ryan a fair shake. Andrew Ryan (the fictional founder of Rapture) is a very successful industrialist and a smart man and he puts his dream into action but things get complicated.
On Zachary Comstock, the founder of Columbia, the floating city where "BioShock Infinite" takes place:
Zachary Comstock is the prophet figure. He has some similarities to Moses and Joseph Smith and George Washington. He found that America wasn't America enough for him and they effectively seceded and he developed his own version of America and Christianity that is very centered on the founding fathers. When you get to the city he seems to be a prophet and that's one of the big questions: Is he really a prophet?
On his influences for the game's story:
From a narrative standpoint we didn't have any game influences. There Will Be Blood was a very influential film in the sense of the fronterism and the self-determination and self-reliance of Day-Lewis's character. And the revivalist religion aspect of it. (BioShock Infinite) starts off in a noir feeling.
We like to have straightforward entrees before things get weird.
On the game writing process:
The fact that I'm also a designer and game developer makes it easier for me. Generally I start with a thee act structure then we build missions off that structure. And we work on levels and figure out how and where to advance the narrative and how to mix that in. It's a very interactive process of going back forth with the design team. It's a lot of compromise. We like to keep the action continuous.
On Booker DeWitt, the game characters play in BioShock Infinite:
He's a former Pinkerton agent who was in Wounded Knee. He's a bit of a drunk and a gambler and loses a lot of money and that's how he got into this situation: To pay a lot of debt. He's trying to find a woman (in Columbia). Once he finds her and breaks her out of this Rapunzel-like tower they discover that she's not what she appears to be. She's in a tower partly because (the people of Columbia) are afraid of her. She can bring things from one dimension to the other. You and her make this alliance. All she wants is to get out. All you want to do is get her to New York. And everybody is trying to stop you.
On "the psychopath problem," i.e. how to relate to video game characters who spend much of their time killing people:
Booker starts off as a guy who has had a very dark past. He's not particularly charming. Elizabeth wants to see everything and eat everything. And then the people who had her locked up and try to catch up with them. She's appalled when Booker whips out his weapon gets in this brutal gunfight. She has to understand that there will be a cost to her freedom. It's a tough line to walk. We try to make the characters affected by the violence.
As they go through and things get darker and darker (the violence) affects her and the story changes.
On current events that influenced the game:
It's sort of reverse. This is not because we have some prognostic abilities. You tend to see historical trends repeat themselves. These things are just in the bloodstream of America: They go back to the heart and go out to the circulatory system and back to heart.
On the lessons he'd like gamers to walk away with:
The only lesson I have is my feeling that all these (extremist ideologies) kind of fall apart in the field. If you don't keep an eye on what's going on and you always go back to the manual, you're going to be in trouble. I've never been much of a joiner. There are lots of people who make a very cynical living from ideology and this is my way of expressing my skepticism. But I like to give characters a fair shot.

Danville to vote on Va. uranium mining ban
The city of Danville will consider a resolution Thursday supporting a decades-old ban on uranium mining in Virginia.
The Danville Bee & Register reports that the resolution states that none of the studies on uranium mining has accurately assessed the potential negative effects of mining and milling the radioactive ore.
Virginia Uranium Inc. has proposed mining a 119-million-pound deposit of the metal within 10 miles of Chatham. It maintains the uranium can be mined and processed safely.
Critics disagree, arguing that the environmental risks outweigh any economic benefits.
The General Assembly is expected to consider the 1982 moratorium during its upcoming session.
