Desktop Saver
By Paper Pilots Software
Open the Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
The Desktop Saver application lets you run just about any screensaver as your desktop wallpaper.
There are many beautiful screensavers available for Mac OS X. However, screensavers are usually only activated when you're away from your computer. With the Desktop Saver application, you can run almost any screensaver as live wallpaper on your desktop. This lets you enjoy your screensavers while using your computer.
With version 1.6, Desktop Saver now uses Apple's sandboxing technology to ensure screensavers don't get full access to your machine. This provides a level of assurance that screensavers downloaded from the internet aren't able to corrupt your system or steal your data.
We find the Desktop Saver works best with tranquil screensavers such as the Paper Pilots screensaver (http://www.paperpilots.com).
= Major Features =
• Uses Apple's sandboxing technology to ensure screensavers are run without access to your full system.
• The Desktop Saver does not interfere with your System Preferences.
• The application lets you run any screensaver on your desktop, not just the screensaver selected in the System Preferences.
• Hot-spots will still activate the screensaver while Desktop Saver is running.
• Your computer can still go to sleep while Desktop Saver is running.
• Multi-monitor support lets you run a different screensaver on each monitor's desktop.
= Compatibility Issues =
Though most screensavers work fine, not all screensavers are able to work with the sandboxing technology. The list of screensavers we know have issues can be found at http://desktopsaver.paperpilots.com/index.html?q=FAQ, but a short list includes:
• iTunes Artwork (no access to iTunes)
• Drop Clock (no access to the HID framework)
• RSS Visualizer (no access to the PubSub framework)
What's New in Version 1.8

How To Decorate Your Foyer For Christmas
Christmas is such a wonderful time of year, filled with celebrations, gift giving and get-togethers. With guests likely to be coming to your home during the holiday season, you want your entire house to be a welcoming reflection of the joys of Christmas.
Your foyer is the first glimpse of your home visitors will see, so decorating it beautifully should be a priority. Don't leave your entryway to the end of your decorating efforts, and then slap up whatever you have left over. Give some thought to creating an inviting entry with Christmas decorations that set the tone for the rest of the house.
Front Door and Frame
Surrounding the front door with holiday adornments lets your guests know they are in for something special as soon as they step over the threshold.
- For a traditional look, edge your doorframe with pine garland, accented with red bows and small white lights.
- Go a bit more glam with tinsel garland in silver or gold, twinkling with small lights and amplified with metallic glass ball ornaments.
- Set a country feel with a string of garland created from small calico fabric strips tied over pine boughs, and set off with red berry sprays.
The door itself should be decorated to complement the frame's edging.
- A pine garland wreath with a simple red bow finishes the traditional look.
- Your glamorous door shouldn't go overboard, so accentuate the glittery doorframe with a wreath made of wire silver-star garland twined into a circle.
- Set off your country door by tying more of the calico strips around a grapevine wreath, and positioning a fabric Santa, snowman or Christmas tree in the wreath's center.
Entry Floor
Don't overlook your foyer's floor when decorating for the holidays. Swap your everyday entry mat for a holiday touch of bright color.
- Your traditional entry will be cheered with a mat in red or green, decorated with a simple pattern of poinsettia, Christmas trees or snowmen.
- Set off a sparkling entry with a mat in a solid gold or deep green accented with a bit of metallic trim.
- A country home continues the theme with a floor mat decorated with rustic Christmas trees, animals or Santas.
Entry Table Display
If your foyer is large enough to have a small table near the door, you can create a wonderful holiday display.
- Set up a lighted holiday village display, with a bed of faux snow for a wintery feel.
- A centerpiece of pine boughs can be accented with thick pillar candles in hurricane glass holders surrounded with pinecones and berry sprays.
- Cover the table with a fabric runner embroidered with metallic thread, then display a glass bowl filled with silver, gold, white and clear glass ornaments. Accent with silver candles.
- Show off a collection of beautiful reindeer figures, or vintage angels.
- Spotlight your treasured primitive Santas or a tiny tabletop tree decorated with roughhewn cloth ornaments.
- Set a patchwork or braided wool table runner on the entry table, then top with a basket filled with pinecones, interesting twigs, pine boughs and berry sprays.
Make Use of the Ceiling
Don't neglect the ceiling when decorating your entry. You can hang a variety of items from the entry light, or use wire to dangle decorations from the ceiling. Make sure to keep hanging items high enough so visitors don't hit their heads.
- Mistletoe is a classic for hanging overhead.
- Attach a large red bow to the light fixture.
- Dangle glass ornaments on ribbon from the entry ceiling.
- Suspend a few gold paper lanterns for a whimsical look.
- Tie paper or plastic snowflakes to fishing wire and hang them at varying heights for a wintery feel.
- Hang primitive stars from the light on thick ribbon.
Stairway Banisters
If you have a staircase with its base near the foyer, be sure to decorate it to carry the Christmas theme into the house.
- Wind pine garland around the base of the banister from top to bottom, then weave the garland around the banister to the top of the stairs. Add red bows to punctuate the garland at the bottom, the middle and the top of the banister.
- If you are decorating with a sparkly style, use tinsel garland to weave between the banister slats, then add a few metallic balls to punctuate the shine. Tie strips of iridescent fabric around banister posts every couple of feet, forming large bows that will reflect the light in shimmering patterns.
- Give your stairs country flair with pine garland decorated with fabric stars and candy canes. Tie calico bows around the banister, and hang a few jingle bells from the center of the bows.
Whatever your decorating taste, your entryway should set the theme and show guests that you welcome the holidays. Your foyer gives the first impression of your home; so don't neglect to decorate it in your favorite Christmas style.

The Fantasist
In the mind of the fantasist, the real and the fanciful become dangerously blurred. As Louise gazes into the night her fancy takes form. Objects move, time changes … and a seductive stranger opens up a world of exhilaration and magic.
Spinning together puppetry, physical theatre and original music, Lecoq and LISPA trained Theatre Témoin team up with War Horse's Robin Guiver to explore the murky depths and glorious heights of bipolar disorder in a production which wowed critics and audiences at Edinburgh (whatsonstage Pick of the Fringe) and collected a cluster of five-star reviews

A Dallas man died after losing control of his vehicle and crashing into a utility pole in Far North Dallas early this morning.
The 22-year-old was driving east on Frankford Road about 1 a.m. when his passenger told him the left turn lane was ending. He jerked his silver Honda Accord to the right, causing it to spin 180 degrees, according to a police report.
The vehicle ran over a median near Coit Road, snapped a guide wire and hit a utility pole on the south side of the road, the report said.
Police arrived and pronounced the driver dead at the scene. The passenger was taken to Medical Center of Plano for minor cuts to his ear and hand.
The investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing.

Daniel Deronda
by George Eliot
Daniel Deronda Chapter 17 Summary
- One July evening, Daniel goes rowing by himself. We find out that he has begun to study law, but he's still not sure what he wants to do with himself.
- As he rows, he starts to sing, which we guess is what you should do if you're a proper Victorian gentleman in a rowboat. Except his song is about misery.
- Daniel notices a young woman, maybe eighteen years old, who stands staring at the river "with a look of immovable, statue-like despair" (17.4). Daniel seems to think that she's not totally aware of her surroundings – her mind is somewhere else.
- Daniel is startled by how unhappy she looks. But he drifts on and decides to just hang out in his boat for a while.
- He starts to get lost in his thoughts, but then he notices the girl again. She takes off her cloak and dips it in the water. Daniel realizes she's trying to make it heavy so she can wrap it around herself and drown.
- Daniel realizes he has no time to lose and starts rowing like crazy towards her. He gets her attention and tells her to trust him.
- The girl tells him that she heard him singing before. Then she tells him that he looks good (good as in a good person, though we can only imagine from all the descriptions of Daniel's appearance that Daniel is hunky enough to make her think that he also looks good).
- Daniel finds her sweet appearance to be incredibly moving, and also wonders if his mother was anything like her.
- The young woman tells Daniel that she doesn't have anywhere to go or anyone to belong to. Daniel says he'll take her to "a lady who has daughters" (17.18).
- She asks Daniel if he belongs to the theatre. He says no. It seems like kind of a random question. Then he tells her that life might still be happy again.
- The young woman gets in the boat and they row. Daniel can't think of anything to talk about. The young woman tells Daniel that if he hadn't rowed toward her, she'd be dead by now. She says she doesn't see how she can live now.
- Daniel asks her if she's English. She reveals that she's English-born, but also Jewish; then she asks Daniel if that news makes him hate her.
- She tells him that her mother and brother were good people, but that she'll never find them again. She bursts into tears.
- Daniel's sort of like, "Oh man, what'd I get myself into this time?"
- Daniel decides to take her to Mrs. Meyrick's.
- He feels like he's starting a new chapter of his life.

'I Would Like To Go To School And Become A Pilot'
Issue 308
Children in Somalia Speak Out for Peace
Nairobi, December 11, 2007 – At the launch of the 2008 Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP) for Somalia, a video highlighting the voices of children, particularly that of a young girl who wants to be a pilot, reminded those present about the impact of conflict on children.
"I would like to go to school and become a pilot," said Fartoun Ibrahim, aged 14 "I am asking the world to help us. I want my missing brother back. I want to leave this place with my family and live elsewhere."
Somalia has seen a drastic deterioration in the humanitarian situation since the start of 2007 with over 1.5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.
The Consolidated Appeals Process is a mechanism for the humanitarian community to outline their plans for action in 2008.
"Children like Fartoun live in one of the most vulnerable protection environments in the world," said UNICEF's Representative to Somalia, Christian Balslev-Olesen. "Women and children in the centre and south of the country are the worst-affected, with thousands of families displaced, livelihoods disrupted, and an estimated 83,000 children suffering from severe malnutrition," he added.
Less than a fourth of Somalia's population can access basic health services and only 29% use a safe water source. Preventable or easily treated diseases remain the main killers of children and women.
The 2008 CAP aims to address the most urgent needs of the 1.5 million people affected. As one of the leading agencies providing emergency assistance to the children and women of Somalia, UNICEF has appealed for US$ 47 million for 2008. This amount will enable UNICEF and its partners to provide critical life saving interventions to 350,000 children under the age of five; vaccinate 1.4 million children against polio; and treat up to 90,000 malnourished children.
UNICEF will also provide 1.2 million displaced or vulnerable persons with access to safe water and sanitation; enable 120,000 children to resume their schooling and equip 20,000 girls and women with knowledge and skills to prevent HIV, while also mobilising communities to reunite families, end the recruitment of child soldiers and prevent injuries from mines and unexploded ordinance.
In 2007, with generous funding against the 2007 CAP, UNICEF and its partners were able to ensure, amongst other results, that half a million people had access to basic health care; 1.6 million children were immunized against polio and 883,000 against measles; some 200,000 people had access to safe drinking water, nearly 60,000 displaced children were able to resume their schooling, over 240,000 displaced and vulnerable households received essential shelter and survival items, and 28,000 young girls and women learned skills to protect themselves and others from HIV, sexual violence and abuse.

Limited Edition of 3,000 Units
"Sublime…the hippest, frankest and funniest date movie around…Director Nora Ephron's a major talent with a wicked gift for tickling the funny bone, exposing hidden truths and then, just when you're not looking, slamming you in the solar plexus."
—Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"Mr. Hanks and Ms. Ryan are terrifically attractive, each somehow persuading the audience of the validity of all the things that keep them apart and then miraculously bring them together."
—Vincent Canby, The New York Times
"So warm and gentle I smiled the whole way through."
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Writer-director Nora Ephron's tour de force romantic comedy stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan as a pair of star-crossed, meant-to-be lovers who don't meet until the film's last reel. Along the way, the film—glowingly shot by the great Sven Nykvist—gifts us with tart commentary on the state of modern love, particularly as experienced by those of us whose very idea of romance has been all-too influenced by what we've seen in the movies.
Enjoy the extensive Julie Kirgo liner notes and film art packaged with the Blu-ray disc.

Disastrous night for the Moth in St. Paul
ROB CALLAHAN | Updated 1/31/2013
Review: Popular storytelling group bungled its way through a story slam at Amsterdam Bar & Hall on Wednesday.
Photo by Rob Callahan
The Moth Story Slam from New York brought its act to Saint Paul on Wednesday, but not without enough problems to make opening night at the Brick seem like a breeze.
The Amsterdam Bar & Hall event was oversold from the start. Attendees had to buy their tickets online at themoth.org in advance. In the days leading up to the event, the website changed ticket availability several times. On January 27, premium tickets were sold out and only general admission tickets were left. By January 29, the same site claimed that general admission was sold out, but there was still premium seating available. At other times, the show was completely sold out, then it wasn't, then it wasn't but only if you could pay extra.
The doors opened slightly late, and the Moth staff started letting people in without accounting for the type of tickets they held. General admission attendees got in first. Once they were in, they were invited to take any seat they wanted. So, by the time the first attendees who paid extra got in, their seats were all given away. As the premium ticket holders complained, the Moth's Robin Wachsberger sent someone to the stage to politely ask that those who didn't pay for premium seating kindly move from the premium seats. Those who didn't pay for premium seating responded by snearing, laughing and staying put. Also, notably, a handful of attendees without any tickets talked their way in. Some of them were spotted in the front row.
Although the Amsterdam staffed three servers in the show room, Moth staff told attendees that they could not order food or drinks inside. The resulting bottleneck of people trying to get in and fight for a seat and those trying to get out and order a drink further complicated any last hope of crowd control, and the servers assigned to the show struggled to assure the audience that they could, in fact, order inside.
The show started 45-minutes late when Dan Kennedy took the stage. He talked in his trademark lazy, self-indulgent style for the length of two full stories before the audience began alternately nodding off and heckling him to get on with the show. After he finished a 12-minute musing about candy, he obliged and brought out the first storyteller.
The storytellers themselves were generally well received by the audience, and generally scored harshly by the judges. Between each story, Kennedy retook the stage and spent nearly as much time recapping the stories as they originally took to tell. His improvised one-liners did little to appease the crowd, who continued to heckle him as he laughed at his own jokes and droned on. Twice, he told the assembled crowd that "The Moth is the only story slam in the Twin Cities," which was received poorly by the many organizers of and participants in "Story SlamMN!" who were in attendance. The show ended 90 minutes past its schedule and the crowd was visibly overtired as it disbursed, ignoring the house band, the Dirty Curls, who were setting up to try and salvage their own scheduled show.
Although the Amsterdam and local media sponsors MPR both made valiant efforts to put on a great show, the Moth's refusal to communicate and work with with them stopped all such efforts in their tracks. If the Moth had assigned people who knew what they were doing, this might have been understandable, but the primary show runner of the night didn't just fail spectacularly at her own job. She also adamantly refused the help of Amsterdam staff and others from the Moth when they tried to shoulder some of the burden.
As the dust settled and damage control began, Wachsberger was handing out her email address to people who paid for premium seating, and promising that she would refund their money once they contacted her. The Amsterdam staff and the representatives from MPR were discussing strategies to ensure greater involvement on their part next month, when the Moth returns and struggles to replace the many disenfranchised patrons who vowed never to attend this show again.

That's very interesting, and I can imagine it would be a good thing to have as a silent alarm for situations. I wonder if the DART trains have them as well.
I passed a DART bus today and all the screens on it were saying "CALL COPS CALL 911" over and over again, even the little screen on the back. The bus was moving and didn't look like it was making an attempt to pull over. At first I thought it was some sort of pubic service announcement but then I realized that the bus was literarily saying if you see this sign, call 911 there is an emergency on the bus.
It was all rather odd. Obviously I dialed 911, they transfered me to DART police saying they already knew about it.
Is this really a thing? I know all the busses have GPS and are linked up by radio and such to DART headquarters but is this like the bus equivalent of a silent alarm? After I dialed 911 I realized that I didn't even get the bus number just what road it was on going which direction, had I known that this was a potential real emergency type situation I would have followed it for a second to get the bus number.
Does anyone know what the deal is with this sort of thing?
That's very interesting, and I can imagine it would be a good thing to have as a silent alarm for situations. I wonder if the DART trains have them as well.
As far as not knowing the bus number goes, I know that the vast majority of DART buses are equipped with GPS equipment. So, if you give the approximate location (i.e. street name/intersection) then the DART dispatch should be able to find the bus from there.Originally Posted by JohnMcKee
A wise man speaks because he has something to say; a fool because he has to say something. - Plato
I saw this same thing last week. I stopped next to the bus at the next stop light and everything appeared fine inside the bus so I called DART's emergency line (not 911) and gave them the bus #. The phone operator didn't seemed very worried (or interested) and said she would notify the bus.
The unholy offspring of lightning and Death itself.
The first time I saw it was years ago, probably in the '90s -- it was before the cell phone era. I followed the bus all the way down I-30 from East Dallas, hoping that if something went crazy wrong, I would be in a position to help -- maybe I could find a pay phone (since those things still existed then). I followed it straight through downtown, down I-35E... and to the Oak Cliff bus barn.
I suspect there's some sort of easily-triggered button that is intended to silently display the "911" message, like a bank's silent alarms. Or maybe someone put "emergency" next to "garage" on the selection screen. In any case, it's about as useful as a car alarm at this point -- when's the last time you called the cops because someone's car alarm went off?
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals... Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. - B. Obama 1/20/09
I guess I missed this thread five years ago. I saw this on a bus in Addison last night on Beltline, called 911, and was transferred to DART police. It looked like everything was fine inside the bus to me when I passed it, so I'm sure it was also something accidental. I wonder how often this happens when there is no real emergency.

How to Apply for Financial Aid
What Is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)?
The information needed to estimate your family's ability to contribute toward your educational costs is collected on a form called the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you are applying for any of the federal student aid programs [Federal Pell Grant, FSEOG, FWS, Federal Perkins Loan and/or the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program], this is the only form that may be used to calculate your expected family contribution. As the name implies, there is no fee for using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to apply for federal aid.
You can apply electronically for federal student aid by using FAFSA on the Web. There is no software to download or install, and the on-line application can be accessed by both PC and Macintosh systems. A central computer analyzes the information, calculates an Expected Family Contribution (EFC), and matches information reported on your FAFSA to data contained in numerous federal databases, such as the Social Security Administration. The results of the analysis are forwarded to both you and the schools to which you are applying.
If you do decide to apply online, you will need a FSA ID to sign your application. Additional information and a link to apply for a FSA ID can be found at www.fafsa.gov. If you are a dependent student, your parent will also need a FSA ID to electronically sign your FAFSA application and to apply for a Parent PLUS loan.
Of you have difficulties using the online site, you may also obtain a paper FAFSA by calling 1-800-4FEDAID.
When Should You Apply for Financial Aid?
The earliest you can file is January 1. To assure maximum consideration for all forms of aid, the FAFSA must be processed by the Federal Processor on or before HPU's priority deadline of March 1. Normal processing time for a FAFSA application submitted electronically, is two weeks.
Please remember that financial aid is a reimbursement for after school begins and students should plan on having alternative funding arrangements for the first month of the semester, or until your financial aid funding can be made available to you. Students should allow for at least 2 months processing time and be cognisant of processing deadlines which are usually 3 weeks prior to the end of any semester/term.
Applying for admission to a school based on your academic ability and applying for student aid based on your financial need are two different procedures. Even though financial aid awards are usually made only after the admissions office grants acceptance, you should not wait to apply for financial aid until you have been admitted to the school.
What Are the Steps to Apply for Financial Aid?
Applying for financial aid generally includes several steps. You may be asked to do any or all of the following tasks.
1. Complete the FAFSA.
The FAFSA collects financial information about you, your parents, and your family. Income received in the most recently completed calendar year, including untaxed income and benefits, will have to be reported, as will certain expenses. You may also be asked to provide the current value of any assets you or your parents own as well as the amount owed on those assets.
When applying for financial aid, you must provide a valid Social Security Number. If you do not have one, you should get one as soon as possible.
Completing the FAFSA may seem complicated, but don't let that discourage you. Take one question at a time, read the instructions carefully, and consult your high school counselor or our Financial Aid Office if you need help. Be sure you understand what the form is asking. Making errors can cause delays in your application.
2. The Student Aid Report (SAR).
3. Provide Verification Documents.
You may receive a letter from our office asking for further information needed to complete your processing, i.e. signed student and/or parent federal tax forms, Verification Form, etc. This review process is called verification. Schools have the right to request tax forms to verify the information you provided on the FAFSA, and we are required to do so by the federal government. Respond to our request quickly so we can send your financial aid award to you in a timely fashion.
4. Submit Other Requested Documents.
As your aid application is evaluated within the financial aid office, more information or documents may be requested. For example, you may need to certify you are registered with the Selective Service or not required to be registered. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you may be asked to document your status with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, or USCIS (formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS). If the aid administrator thinks you might have special financial circumstances, he or she may ask for a more detailed explanation.
5. Respond to your Financial Aid Award.
You will receive an e-mailed financial aid award letter in your HPU Pipeline email account. It will instruct you to respond to your financial aid award in the financial aid section in Campus Pipeline before the deadline indicated on your letter and will advise you of any further documentation you should complete, if necessary. Your financial aid award is determined on the information you originally gave us when you applied for financial aid. If you should have a change of status or if you should receive additional scholarships, please let us know immediately as it may affect your financial aid.
HPU requires you to indicate whether you want the aid we have offered you, be sure to do so by the date specified. Even if you do not want the aid, or have decided not to attend HPU, let the Financial Aid Office know as a courtesy to other aid applicants who are still awaiting funding.
6. Submit Loan Forms, if required.
Some of the loan programs require additional application forms. All of them require a promissory note, which is a legal document you sign promising you will repay the loan. If you are offered one of these loans, and you decide to borrow the funds, you will need to complete the necessary forms.

Using latest NetBeans with Java CAPS Repository
By narayanaa on Nov 27, 2008
For people working with the Repository version of the Java CAPS the bundled NetBeans is 6.1 if you want to use any NetBeans or play around with the latest version 6.5 here is the way.
1. Get the following .nbm files from the repository:
- com-stc-log4j.nbm
- com-stc-modules-repoupdatecenter.nbm
- com-stc-repository3rdparty.nbm
2. Go to the NetBeans tools --> plugins and select downloaded tab and install the nbms. If needed restart the NetBeans so that it shows the repository.
3. Edit the CAPS Repository update center with your repository URL : Something like http://localhost:12000/repository/JCAPS6repository/data/files/InstallManager/catalog.xml.
[Trouble Shooting]
If you are unable to see the the nbms in the Available Plugins tab then try the URL in the browser it should show the XML for module updates. Normally you can see the repository URL from the repository while running. For the above catalog.xml it is http://localhost:12000/JCAPS6repository.
You need to remember whats the repository name you have given while installing the repository.
4. Once you see the nbms in the Available plugins section install those nbms and restart the NetBeans.
You are all set to use the Latest and greatest NetBeans with the Repository based Java CAPS. The value add I saw here is like we will have the latest features and other services like load generators etc with other improvements in the latest version of 6.5.
I observed with the previous versions if I update in the same way it doesn't used to show up the CAPS Component Library because there were some issues in the Apache loggers. But with the latest version of NetBeans 6.5 this issue doesn't seem to be there any more.
So enjoy the latest version of Design Time and let me know your feedback !!!

ironic, u programmed the perfect program - even errors cannot be caught
Hi, and welcome to tech talk.
So, why couldn't you have seeded the random numbers with a known value so that the testers could have stored the seed value with any bug report?
"I'll build a version that doesn't use random numbers, just for QA."
"Sorry, Brand, but they only want to test what you're actually going to ship."
"Well, I'll put in a system to record all the values it uses while building, so that we can replay any bugs."
"Yeah, but they have to get a bug to happen a certain number of times before they can say that it's really a bug. That won't work if they're just replaying previous calculations."
Frankly, it was badly handled. I mean, we weren't the first game to have dynamic content. It's just one of those things that QA decided they weren't going to allow on this game.
"Yeah, but they have to get a bug to happen a certain number of times before they can say that it's really a bug. That won't work if they're just replaying previous calculations."
So, let me get this strait. QA complained that since the mission generator wasn't deterministic, they couldn't repeat any seen bug; however, once the generator was deterministic, they complained that they would be seeing the exact same bug (which is the definition of repeatability). Did I miss something?
Man, if you could just shrug that off, you're a better man than I. The thing is, it's not the lost work that would have pissed me off the most.
First off, I have a serious problem with QA having that kind of pull over the design of a game. Their place is to test what is given to them in accordance to what the development team needs, not to dictate what they will and won't test. QA is not a part of the core development team, and only under extreme circumstances should they have any direct say in how a game is designed.
And second, what kind of lead programmer would allow one man-month of work to be wasted on a feature that he should have known, by his own admission, couldn't be shipped with the game (an assumption I don't agree with)? Besides, being a lead, he should have had the experience to know that you can reasonably test randomly generated content, and he sure as hell should have stood up for one of his programmers when the QA lead started pushing his weight around. And covering his head on his desk? That sounds like a sign of a good leader. I think I read that in Sun Tzu somewhere.
Did I mention that the Studio Head had fired the previous QA manager, and hired her husband to fill the opening? So, yeah. QA had a lot of unrealistic pull with that company.
Yeah, right after I wrote that, I thought that I might have been a little hard on him. After all, I don't know anything about him other than what you've written here. I almost deleted that last paragraph, but I talked myself out of it for one reason.
You see, I have a real problem with leads who essentially become yes-men to anyone asking (or telling) them just about anything. That seems to be par for the course at a lot of companies in this industry, and usually it's the guys busting their butts under the leads that suffer. This situation here really struck me as an obvious example of this.
I wouldn't blame him for caving on this one, because I know how many things he had to fight just to get the game out the door. There was a lot of politics going on at Microprose (we nearly didn't ship the game, because he refused to list the studio head's cat in the credits), and I'm just glad I didn't have to be part of it very often.
And I wouldn't judge him based on the two lines I gave him in one blog post. The fact that he put his head down, laughing at the stupidity of it all is not an example of weakness, but rather his cynical mirth.
By the way, for anybody else reading this. Mr. Tanner is not a mean person. In real life, he's a friendly, amiable, cuddly bear. But give him a keyboard, and he becomes Che Guevara
Ah yes, cynical. A personality trait I can relate to.
You know, I still stand by my opinion that there are way too many leads in this industry who are more concerned with avoiding conflict rather than doing what's best for their team; however, upon further reflection, I don't think this guy is one of them. The perfect one word rebuttal to everything I've written about him so far would be: politics.
And Brand's right, I'm not mean. Insightful? Perhaps. Opinionated? Definitely. Cuddly bear? Well, that's just disturbing. Also, I don't think I had anything to do with the formation of the Republic of Cuba, but things are a little fuzzy up until I was about five or so, so maybe.

The 2012 NHL All-Star Game has finally arrived.
The NHL All-Star Game features Team Alfredsson against Team Chara, with Team Alfredsson winning last night's All-Star Skills Competition by a final score of 21-12.
Despite his team losing the skills competition, team captain Zdeno Chara broke the NHL record for hardest slap slot with a 108.8 MPH blast.
Other amusing sights were seen with Patrick Kane's Superman cape, as well as Carey Price, making the save (shown above) while he was turned backwards and not making another while "Tebowing."
Today's All-Star Game starts at 4 p.m. ET and can be seen on CBC and RDS in Canada as well as NBC Sports in the USA.
I will be on-site at Scotiabank Place, so check back throughout the game as I break down big highlights and also give end of the period analysis.

Projecting 3D points oddityPosted Friday, 19 October, 2012 - 02:22 by smarrocco in
I've setup a simple scene that allows me to experiment with some simple shape rendering in a GLControl using perspective. All the drawing performs as expected. At one point I attempt to add some text using the QuickFont library; the text is fine, but in trying to track the text to one of the vertices' 3D locations I'm seeing some strange results. The text is not tracking the point properly--I believe the problem is within the Project() function I've attempted to use. One particular thing I've noticed is that the text moves/tracks differently if I change the ClipNear/ClipFar plane distances. This seems odd--I don't understand why the Project() function would return different results when the clipping planes move.
I would appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer, in particular to my Project() function (which I obtained from a post on these forums).

Always make sure when you put your decoys out that you keep the anchor strings as short as possible or the dog will get tangled in your decoy spread and start dragging them around. A young dog can become afraid of a floating decoy if he has become tangled in the anchor string and the decoys bumps him a few times. We don't want that.
Many dogs don't hear a duck or goose call until the first time they hunt. When they do, they can't identify the noise and it causes excitement and confusion. You need to condition your dogs to the call. Use the call while you're training them.
Many dogs have never been shot over prior to their first hunt. You have to train the dog to react positively to a shotgun going off over his head. In training, start out shooting away from the dog and slowly adjust until you are shooting right over the dog. You want the dog to remain perfectly still as the gun is going off.
What I do when training is blow the call for a while, shoot the gun and throw the dummy bird to retrieve. Then the dog will get used to the scenario. He'll become more efficient when he's not surprised and will perform properly that first time in the duck blind or the boat.
If we're going to change something - let's say we've been hunting out of a blind and now we're going to use a boat - then we should expose the dog to the boat and make him comfortable in it before we hunt.
I never get too critical of my dogs in a new situation until they know what is expected of them. Once they understand the rules, then often just a low level of stimulation from the collar is all that's necessary to keep them on track.
Bad habits are reinforced every time we let a dog do something more than once. If you let your dog leave the boat or leave the blind before you have commanded it, then you are allowing a situation to develop that will be harder to break later. That's why you want to have all the kinks worked out before you actually enter a hunting situation.

HALIFAX - RCMP are identifying a missing Nova Scotia fisherman as 39-year-old Scott Clarke of Oyster Pond.
Clarke fell off a fishing boat near Halifax harbour on Sunday morning at 2:30 a.m.
Police say the accident occurred just about four kilometres south of Devil's Island.
Search and rescue officials have handed the case over to the RCMP who will now deal with it as a missing person's case.
A news release from search and rescue says that hope for Clarke's survival "diminished considerably" after he wasn't found on Sunday.
During the search a Cormorant helicopter and two coast guard ships were joined by 13 other vessels after the man fell off the Lady Tiana.

Honda's finally unveiled some info on its new 2010 VFR1200 sport tourer. And while it's a striking design, with some interesting new technology, it's missing some of the features talked up in pre-launch media hype.
The bike has an all-new engine, which has some clever packaging. The rear cylinder bank on the V-four motor is made up of the two inner cylinders, making it narrower than the front bank, which houses the two outer cylinders. This allows the rider to sit further forward, straddling the back of the engine with their knees. The motor itself is a 1,237cc 76° V-four design, with 12:1 compression ratio, 16 valves, and three cams. The rear head uses a space-saving SOHC design borrowed from the firm's offroad machinery. Final drive is by shaft, with six gears and a slipper clutch.
There's no sign yet though of the much-heralded dual-clutch gearbox system, nor a 'variable capacity' setup where some cylinders are 'switched off' to save fuel while cruising. Some observers say these systems will appear on more expensive versions of the VFR1200 which may appear next year.

Linux is for geeks right? And you gotta know command prompts and all that stuff yeah?
Not exactly, in fact that kind of image is starting to fade away somewhat as Linux distros such as Ubuntu gain traction and mind share with each new release.
OK so Linux still has a market share closer to 1.5%. However things are beginning to change. Linux has never before been so easy to try. Here's three ways you can install Linux on your computer.
1. Linux on a 'Live Disk'
Each distribution can now be downloaded as a 'Live Disk', a disk which will run Linux straight from the CD as if it were an installed operating system.
This is perhaps the best way you can try Linux for the first time as it allows you to play around with the OS without having to worry about your data, or partitioning or screwing something up.
The disadvantage is that the OS will run fairly slowly and you will not get much idea of the performance or flexibility of Linux.
Live disks are included with every Linux distribution, and are also provided on the cover of just about any computing and PC magazine. Looking over at my shelf I can see Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, gOS Rocket and Linux Mint on the cover disks of several magazines.
2. Run Linux using Virtual PC
Again, this is just another way to have a bit of a look and play around with Linux in a contained area with no danger of destroying your computer or anything. Microsoft provides Virtual PC 2007 as a free download and can run most distros, although you will perhaps need to find some fairly simple workaround's for a few.
Again, the disadvantage is performance, both for the Virtual Machine and the host machine which has to lend system resources. The advantage I guess is that you will not have to burn an actual disk in order to try Linux out – the virtual machine can simply mount an ISO file.
3. Install Ubuntu using the Wubi installer
Lastly you can try Linux, Ubuntu specifically, using a special installer called "˜Wubi'. Mackenzie covered Wubi in detail here. Blake also briefly mentioned it in his article here.
Wubi installs Ubuntu as a file on your Windows System. It can be uninstalled like any other program and runs as if you were using a separate system partition. The only disadvantage is that hibernation mode does not work.
The set-up is laughably simple; all you have to do is get Wubi from here and start it up. Wubi is actually included in Ubuntu as of version 8.04 and is an installation option when using a Live disk.
Here are the options you will be presented with:
Pretty simple huh?
You can either download the Ubuntu file, or use a existing ISO image you have previously downloaded. To use a existing file simply place it in the same folder as the Wubi program.
After installing you will have to reset your computer. It's crucial you reset "˜cleanly', that means no turning the computer off impatiently, pulling the plug out the all etc. If you do, booting into Ubuntu may fail.
If all is successful you'll be given a new option upon startup to choose either your previous OS, or Ubuntu:
Booting into Ubuntu will complete the installation and prepare your hard drive for the OS. A final reboot and everything should be working fine, choosing Ubuntu from the boot screen should now load up the OS and you can play around to your heart's content.
It's totally risk free, the worst that can happen is that for some other reason the installation fails. I'm sorry but I can't help you there, simply boot back into Windows and uninstall Wubi through the Add/Remove programs panel.
If this occurs try installing a couple of times. There is a chance it will succeed the second time.
Hopefully this will give you the incentive to try out Linux for yourself!

Spirituality, mindful living, television, parenting, children, prosocial programming, messages, On Wisconsin
Children could be getting the wrong messages from television programming designed with the best of intentions, according to research highlighted in On Wisconsin. An associate professor of communication arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Marie-Louise Mares has been studying children's comprehension of "prosocial" programming, shows that are intended to teach good behavior, morals, and ethics. She is especially interested in storylines intended to foster inclusiveness.
"Children's interpretations of what a show is about are very different from what an adult thinks," Mares tells the Wisconsin alumni association publication. In one episode of Clifford the Big Red Dog that Mares uses in her research, Clifford and other dogs meet a dog with three legs. The four-legged dogs initially react poorly, one of them even expressing fear of "catching" three legs. In the end, the dogs overcome their anxiety, and learn an important lesson about accepting peers with disabilities.
Young human viewers, however, do not. "Many of them interpreted the lesson of the episode along the lines of this child's comment: 'You should be careful . . . not to get sick, not to get germs,' " On Wisconsin reports. Since a lot of prosocial programming relies on showing bad behavior and then learning a lesson about it, Mares' research has the potential to dramatically transform the plotlines of children's programming. One solution she's investigating is "scaffolding," the practice of characters interrupting the storyline to lay out the plot's intended message.

I'd hunted over other massive decoy spreads before, and I know that in certain situations, a huge spread will outdraw a smaller spread because of its greater visibility and attraction. Both ducks and geese are often drawn to big numbers.
The place to consider a massive decoy spread is beneath a flyway where passing birds have a clear view of the spread. For instance, our spot is in a field bordering the Mississippi River in western Kentucky. Most waterfowl we shoot are trading along the river instead of coming to our field. But when they see the huge decoy spread, many lock up and hook around to check it out.
For several years, I hunted from an open-water blind on Lake Barkley in Kentucky, and my partners and I surrounded our blind with about 500 decoys. I've also hunted from blinds at Reelfoot Lake in northwest Tennessee that had 600 decoys around them. And one Reelfoot blind I passed daily had some 2,000 decoys bobbing around it. This massive spread measured approximately 100 yards in diameter.
Obviously, such gigantic spreads are set out for the duration of the season. Heavy decoy weights and tough lines are required. Strong winds and high waves can play havoc with decoys that aren't firmly anchored.
With a massive spread, any decoys will work just fine. They don't have to be new with bright paint jobs. In fact, on Lake Barkley a third of our decoys were gallon milk jugs coated in black roofing tar. We mixed these randomly among our duck decoys, and the birds never showed any hesitation to work to them. In fact, I think these all-black "decoys" helped draw birds by increasing our spread's visibility. (Check local regulations before using plastic jugs as decoys. They are prohibited in some areas.)
