6th Planet, a cool new "Lander"-style game from Monkube, is available from the app store. Combining simple controls with a variety of game modes and an engaging comic-book style backstory presentation makes for a surprisingly compelling game.
6th Planet Pros:
- Beautiful visuals and stunning comic-book style presentation
- Interesting backstory
- Appealing ethereal soundtrack
- Easy-to-use control scheme
- Lots of levels and multiple game modes
- OpenFeint integration for global leaderboards
6th Planet Cons:
- No screen flip
- No level skip
- No achievements
With resources growing scarce and the possibility of Jupiter being capable of sustaining life, a monkey named Darius is sent into space on a recon mission to assess the consequences of colonization. This story is presented in a gorgeous comic-book style after every few completed missions, becoming fully fleshed out by the completion of the 50 main levels. The gameplay consists of piloting Darius' lunar module through treacherous terrain, avoiding asteroids, falling rocks, lava, and other such dangers, to place his craft safely upon each landing pad. Some levels will have you directing Darius through a maze, passing between a series of gates en route to his goal. With the assistance of the low-gravity environment, you must use thrusters to push the craft left or right, as well as give it an upward boost to rise or slow his descent. You have limited fuel to reach your goal, so you must exercise frugal use of your resources as well as extreme patience in order to make it. Depending on the percentage of fuel you have left when you land, you'll receive a bronze, silver, or gold star, the latter being required to unlock future levels. There is no level skip option, so you're likely to get mired in a level or two requiring many retries until you can conserve enough fuel to move on.
Visually, 6th Planet has a lot going for it. The comic-book is crisp, colorful, and highly-detailed, looking great on the iPod's small display. The action portion of the game also has a cool look, going for more of an understated feel with brightly-outlined shapes on a black background. The craft and some of the environmental objects has more detail, but the look boils down to a simple maze within a space setting. It become quite challenging as you progress, with increasingly more convoluted paths and environmental elements that fade in and out of view. The soundtrack features some great ethereal tracks and soothing music, which is available for purchase through the app itself. The controls consist of a left and right arrow that are pressed separately for each specific direction or held simultaneously to initiate the underside thrusters.
Replay value is quite high, as you can always challenge yourself to conserve even more fuel than before or go for the gold on levels that you only achieved silver or bronze. There are additional modes for Master Levels, Space Gate Races, and Chill Mode that are unlocked as you progress through the game. OpenFeint integration offers global leaderboards for each of the main Story Mode levels and Master Levels, tracking your scores and medals. There are no achievements to earn. Our only real complaint is the lack of screen flip, as the headphone cord jabs into our palm while we play. 6th Planet is currently on sale for the weekend for $0.99, down from its regular $2.99 price. 6th Planet is a visually enjoyable, highly-impressive 4.5-Dimple offering that should be picked up today.

According to The Australian, a jet aircraft flying from London to Hong Kong puts out an astonishing 2.76 tons of carbon dioxide – per passenger. That's not trivial. Interestingly, it's not the airlines that are bearing the brunt of criticism for this quantity of emissions. Rather, it's business travellers. When a firm is audited for its climate footprint, business travel ranks as one of the most important sources of greenhouse gas emissions. HSBC alone accounted for 96,000 tons in 2004. Typically, rather than curbing travel, firms have turned to carbon offsetting schemes to try to account for the effects of their emissions.

Using udev
Learn how to create your own udev rules and deploy command-line tools to monitor and control udev events to clear your way through the Linux device jungle.
In the past few years, Linux has progressed in the field of hardware detection and management. The days of static device files huddled below the /dev directory are long gone, and Devfs is also obsolete. Since kernel 2.6, udev has been responsible for handling both the device filesystem and Hotplug, which includes setting up the required device files, setting permissions, and optionally launching certain programs.

So if you haven't been hearing a lot about Chick-fil-A lately you probably live under a rock. 😛
It is now known that Chick-fil-A holds a anti-gay stance and donates money to anti-gay organizations. Now I see a bunch of human equality protests starting up at Chick-fil-A's which is awesome! I've seen a few protests joined in by animal rights activists as well too. I know peta2 and other animal rights organizations like Mercy for Animals openly support LGBT rights, there probably isn't an animal rights organization that doesn't as that doesn't make sense. I know I myself would be proud to protest against Chick-fil-A for both human equality and animal rights!
So this is basically just a post to try and help get the ball rolling. As now is a great opportunity to protest against a company that is against both human equality and animal rights.
I see that PETA is having a a protest against Chick-fil-A in Los Angeles on August 1st

@NicoleLynne I am sure that she could live without meat. The only nutrients that are vital to humans that are in meat is a not-very-healthy serving of protein and iron (soy material contains all the essential amino acids that humans cannot make themselves, being considered a "complete protein"), which can easily come from wheat, broccoli (one pound of broccoli has more protein than one pound of beef, and more iron too), spinach, soybeans, and many other green, leafy vegetables. There is no medical condition where someone absolutely has to eat meat, also there is no food allergies that pertain to someone only eating meat (they would die from high cholesterol, diabetes, and most likely heart cancer.). Drean's family could be vegan if they wanted to I am sure, including the newborn, as a vegan diet is completely healthy during all stages of growth/development/adulthood. Not all vegans consume faux-meat, and there are plenty of homemade faux-meat recipes on PETA.org (I am pretty sure) and real meat is not very cheap right now either, nor is dairy products. The previous nutritional information came from my boyfriend who is studying agricultural sciences (minoring in nutrition, and he is also a vegan), so if you have any questions I would be happy to ask him for you. Good luck! 🙂You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Yeah but thats not all vegans eat they eat fake meat right….. thats what I'm saying that stuff aint cheap. I don't care I know what I am talking like I said I see with my own eyes everyday esspecially where I live. & also I know a child that is allergic to certain foods and she can't eat fruit drink soda, the dr tells her what to eat & meat has to be in her diet or she won't have any choice of foods at all .
I'm not saying people can't be vegan I am saying everyone can't be. . .
& to @drean Can your whole family be vegan? Do you really think that would work out?? Is that newborn a vegan newborn?You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

@SassyVegan Your support really does mean a lot, I have very dear Christian friends and in no way should Christians be synonymous with homophobes. Sadly, I have to agree with you that freedom is not free. (Which is why I guess we are here :D)
@drean I have so much respect for you right now. Your argument was very well written and thorough. I am honored to be a member of a community with amazing people like you!

Can I get my two cents in? NicoleLynne, do you or do you not act like a couple when you date someone? When you obviously care about someone, it shows. Now, the feelings you get for guys when you like them is the same that we, as lesbians and gays, get for our significant others. It's pretty saddening that there are still people who think this is all about some kind of lust thing and not that we have any kind of emotional investments with these people that we are in relationships with. Our relationships wouldn't last for years and decades if it was simply about satiating lust.
Also, your view of how it is to be vegan and on food stamps is obviously showing your privilege. You aren't on food stamps, so don't assume you know what we can and cannot do. My family is on food stamps and we have four mouths to feed with a newborn baby to buy formula and such for. I can still fully well live vegan this way. I'm mostly vegan right now and my entire family eats meat.
Also, thousands of vegans live this way. Most countries that aren't as "developed" as we are sustain themselves on a mainly vegetable based diet because it's easier to produce and doesn't cost as much money to raise and kill the animals. And saying it's "a little under $100" and saying that's affordable, that's showing how much money you have. Most people, when we're on food stamps, barely have enough money to pay basic bills, let alone blow $50+ on a gun when we get food stamps. I agree with FAR in the fact that meat consumption is only acceptable when it's absolutely necessary, like with Inuit tribes and those tribes in Africa/Aborriginals in Australia and what have you.
You're also uneducated in a lot of aspects of the racism and sexism still going on in this country. Educate yourself before you start touting supposed "facts". And no gay man or woman is the same. If I was to say that all people who believe in a higher power are terrorists waiting to happen, that would be a gross overgeneralization based on the actions of a few select people that are not a good representation of a larger group. Don't be so closed minded. Please, for the sake of all humans.
That being said, PETA is Free for All. We need to change how people show compassion to other people while we work for the equal rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for animals. Does that mean that animals will suddenly become doctors? No. The pursuit of happiness means different things to different people, so why should the same be said of a different species of animal? When people finally start showing compassion to others of their species, they should then realize the horrors of what they do to animals and work to abolish that state of the world. You seem to have a skipped that step. Reevaluate how you look at the world. Because the same book of the bible that said man shouldn't lie with man later said you could have slaves and had instructions on how to beat them, and I'm pretty sure you don't follow that rule.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

@NicoleLynne No, you can live of fruits and vegetables. What do you think vegans are doing? Drinking moonbeams and ambrosia? Legumes (soy, etc.) are vegetables, just ftr. They don't buy anything processed to go with their meat? Fruits, veggies, and soy milk, ftw!You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Does your credit union use Intuit's web platform for online banking access per chance?
My credit union (in RI) recently went through a similar upgrade (including adding an extra digit to accounts), but to their credit, it seemed to go much smoother.
More so than slashdot beta, crud like this is going to sink these once famous brands.
SlashdotMedia needs to post this, include a link to their lame-duck response if need be, and let the discussion go where it may.
It's one thing to keep these brands and sites going past their prime, it's another to *actively* tarnish the brands to extract what ad dollars they have left.
SourceForge, the code repository site owned by Slashdot Media, has apparently seized control of the account hosting GIMP for Windows on the service, according to e-mails and discussions amongst members of the GIMP community—locking out GIMP's lead Windows developer. And now anyone downloading the Windows version of the open source image editing tool from SourceForge gets the software wrapped in an installer replete with advertisements.
If anyone has a way of contacting them, perhaps a gentle prod could get this classic made more widely available
It seems that LORD is in a weird copyright state.
Original developer sold the rights, but the company that holds those rights seems to have gone MIA. It seems he's tried reaching out to them, but they're not responding to him or anyone else, or even new sales. He still has the sources, but legally cannot release them.

When I browse w/o signing in and get forced back to those annoying sliders, I get so frustrated with them i simply set them to show all. The old system of 'minimum' threshold was far better imho.
This is not an insurmountable problem -- so long as the 'head' is user-upgradeable, and offers all and any 'modern' connections.
The Interface to the car's electronics has largely been stable. IIRC the CAN/ODB/ODB2 bus are extensible. RS232 has been around since 1962. It would not take much effort to define a simple, *OPEN*, and extensible monitoring + control protocol over any of these connectors, but they seem to not want to.

Grandstream is good for "cheap" phones of acceptable quality. They just recently announced this:
Although it might sound nice to have the whole interface be a touch screen, I think that the hard-keys for dedicated functions end up improving the usability of the device.
If I could, I totally would.
This argument doesn't make sense though. Even in public traditionally, there's always been a fairly reasonable expectation of privacy, (despite what the law says) because you expect you can only be heard within earshot of your chat. Only recently that technology is affording the law a means to observe + record these interactions " in public " are we starting to push right up against that definition.
Keep in mind a single email won't be sensitive, but a bunch of emails in aggregate can potentially be. And besides; if you encrypt just that 1 sensitive message in a mass of unencrypted 'less sensitive' messages --- it's going to stick out like a sore thumb, and an attacker (be it lawful or unlawful) will focus all their resources on that 1 message.

No one I knew used it.
Even today; Windows Live mail + Thunderbird offer integrated s/mime encryption. Maybe 1 or 2 of my technically literate friends use it. And of those 2, i think only one persists using it to this day.
Back then, when all I had was my Palm Pilot IIIxe, I thought "Whoa. I hold in my hand a portable computer that I can use to exchange digital signatures with". I even kept my pgp key in a note I could beam to someone, given the chance. Never happened.
Nowadays, even AGP on Android doesn't let me exchange keys with someone meet on the street, on the off change they happen to use it. Secure key exchange would be a trivial problem for today's smart phones (provided the carrier isn't using carrieriq to swipe your data....), but there still is no critical mass to make this worthwhile.
And, with most folks using webmail, You'd have to come up with a hackish way to encrypt mail client side (pgp copy/paste to the clipboard? w/ Rich text? attachments?), or just hand your keys to your provider. Doing the encryption server side would make the service provider an easy target for legal and hacking threats.
It's a tough nugget to crack, and it's not going to be solved until mail encryption is as easy to use as Facebook.

Museum to feature botanical displaysSeptember 10,2013NORWICH Art and plant lovers should be thinking about a visit to Vermonts Montshire Museum of Science in the coming weeks.
Starting this weekend, the museum in Norwich will be presenting the first traveling exhibition of The New England Society of Botanical Artists.
The juried exhibition of more than 60 plant portraits is designed to promote public appreciation of the art and science of botanical art and illustration and to celebrate the diversity and beauty of plants from our own backyards.
The museum said New England is home to more than 3,500 species of plants, of which about 400 are endangered.

Progressive Era Politics
William Howard Taft in Progressive Era Politics
William Howard Taft (1857-1930) was the 27th president of the United States and Theodore Roosevelt's hand-picked successor. Taft supported Teddy Roosevelt's "Square Deal" policy of attempting to strike a balance between employers and employees and conservatives and Progressives, but it soon proved impossible to please everyone. Taft simply did not have Roosevelt's personal charisma. Over time, he wound up satisfying conservatives more often than Progressives. His administration nonetheless pursued more antitrust suits than Roosevelt.
Taft appointed conservatives to several key government posts, which embroiled him in controversy almost immediately. His secretary of the interior, Richard A. Ballinger, was accused of colluding with private business to release valuable Alaskan coal fields for development. Taft's refusal to fire Ballinger and his firm position against Gifford Pinchot (head of the Forest Service) forever alienated him from Roosevelt supporters. Taft also betrayed a platform pledge by going along with the Payne-Aldrich Act, which not only failed to substantially reduce duties (as Progressives had promised), but actually raised several of them. An outraged Roosevelt challenged Taft for the Republican nomination in 1912, and though Taft won the primary, in the general election he received an even smaller percentage of the popular vote than Roosevelt, who ran as third-party candidate.

Skip to comments.Biden's laughter a sign of 'passion and joy,' Carney says
Posted on 10/12/2012 1:31:46 PM PDT by ColdOne
Vice President Joe Biden's repeated laughter during Thursday's debate was a reflection of the "enormous amount of passion and joy" he brings to the job of serving the American people, White House press secretary Jay Carney said on Friday.
Biden has drawn criticism for cracking up when Paul Ryan was talking about everything from Medicare to tax cuts to Iran's quest for a nuclear weapon.
"The person I saw up there last night is somebody who is absolutely passionate about fighting for and defending the middle class... and who comes to his job -- this many years in to serving his country in the Senate and now to the White House -- with an enormous amount of passion and joy," Carney said.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
The sad thing is that no matter who wins the presidency next month, Joe Biden will immediately start running for the Democratic nomination in 2016. He will command the MSM airwaves, and the lunacy and demented laughter we heard last night will be ringing in our ears for years.
And Joe will be the ''inevitable'' Democratic nominee for 2016, since thanks to last night's performance, he's won the support of the all-important left. He fought for them after Obama's dismal performance last week brought gloom and doom to their quarters. Will we ever see the last of that crazy smile?
Yeh.....the middle class was so hyped up over Biden's debate gig, all poor Joe could muster in a Wisconsin college arena this evening was a meager 2000 students, hippies, union thugs and has beens!!! Meanwhile Romney/Ryan turned out over 30,000 excited folks & supporters in Virginia & Ohio!!! Yeh......Joe.....ya really done good last night (not)!!!!
They are full of it.
I had to watch that a couple of times. I thought the song was "The old gay mare she ain't what she used to be." I thought it was the theme song to the Ellen Degeneres Show.
- Carney has been known as a pathetic "bi" long before his odd bearded marriage to another fellow "bi" traveler.....
Wow! That is lame even by the original Baghbob Bob's standards. Slow Joe loves his job so much he couldn't help but to uproariously laugh when the topics were about Iran's nukes and the terrorist attack in Libya?
He was experiencing passion and joy at being obama's court jester. His buffoon.
I didn't see the whole debate yet as I was traveling yesterday. I have it on my DVR. I saw the last half hour and a number of clips/
The high frequency of all the posts complaining about the media and Biden's lies tells me that things didn't go the way that Ryan believers expected it would. The Dems are not whining as they were after the prior debate, they are cheering.
I would not take their celebration too seriously. They wanted to see Biden get rough with Ryan, and he was rude, but calmed down in the last part. Biden won some points, Ryan won some. Biden did act like a maniac for a while, but that's not too surprising.
My opinion: This round is a tie, but even if it wasn't, it would not matter much.
so did boy wonder come close to being the hero of the 'R's ???
or did slo joe actually succeed in being the alpha dog in the room ???
An idiot commenting on the actions of a fool.
One side is complaining, the other cheering. We have seen that before.
Next weeks O-R debate is the Town Hall meeting format. But unlike 1992 Obama is not the challenger nor is he a Bill Clinton. Romney needs to convince the audience that Obama is responsible for all the questioners problems.
Obama will be more aggressive than he was in the last debate.
Ha-Ha, Boy Wonder is a term I used last week, and ruffled some feathers.
Ryan wasnt especially bad but he clearly wasn't prepared to handle all Biden's zingers, and it should have been obvious to everyone Biden would be in attack mode. All Biden's attacks were predictable and Ryan should have had been prepared to blow them up in the air.
Biden going after Ryan for a letter he wrote asking for Stimulus money made me think of my skepticism of Ryan as the conservative Prince Valiant. Romney just HAD to pick another DC insider.
No and no.
Romney/Ryan fans complain about the moderator, but she didn't really do much.
Biden and the committed (and I do mean committed) left no doubt thought a maniacally grinning Biden was a great debate warrior, but he probably turned off as many undecided voters as he favorably impressed members of the Dem base.
But I don't think undecided voters are going to vote based on the VP debate.
It was hard to tell about Ryan's preparation sometimes, because Biden kept talking over him. But as I said, I don't think this debate matters anyway.
So, Carney's a psychiatrist now?!/s;)
I remember Scarbouro saying he DREAMED of Ryan as the VP pick so this race would be a REAL debate about the deficit and spending.
But now the budget wizard is forced to say that he doesn't have to explain how he will keep the candy tax cut promises from becoming deficits because he will trust the congress to figure that out. I wouldn't want to be handed an argument like that to defend as he was.
On the Biden debate, Ryan could have said assertively "Let me finish" if he was confident of his arguments. Palin had a similar problem being restrained by the McCain campaign positions. And Ryan has his own problems. I figured he was not used to debating unlike Biden who is.
Biden looks completely shitfaced, like he and Ted Kennedy were drinking all day long again.
I figured that it was just the beta amyloids rattling around under his hair.
I got through some of the first part.
Ryan was definitely going for likable while Biden was going for attack dog (who would have guessed?)
Biden looked pretty unattractive on that split screen. But his mission was not to be liked.
More like a sign that you need to cut the man's dose of Prozac down 75%. That was insane. He keeps up that dose and his head might just 'splode.
You're assuming they have souls. They don't. It's why they're all on drugs. It numbs the pain of their miserable existence.
They're cheering, but when you see it you'll think that was quite artificial. Things didn't go as they planned either. Biden was an ass, and they're trying very hard to save face, spin it as a victory. It really wasn't.
These assholes will float any absurd excuse to defend the pathetic occupation of our Country, and the media suckles away satisfied in relief.
I basically agree with your interpretation, but Biden only calmed down during the final closing arguments. I still think he was making faces non-stop even then, but I may be wrong.
Toward the end, do you remember that one statement Ryan tried to make, and Biden made a weird sound after every single word, causing Ryan to be barely able to get a sentence out, and it was virtually impossible for him to be understood.
I think of all the expense and efforts made to put this debate on, and Biden made it all for nothing. The people in the audience traveled to show up and hear a debate, and instead saw Biden turn the whole program into a farce.
Read up on the take women had on Biden's performance. They hated it. Women are already pealing away from Obama, and this didn't help one bit.
Woman have a real aversion to men with power who are dismissive and insulting.
There were a number of reports today concerning women and their take on Thursday night's debate. I've been reading on a number of forums, and I've run into a number of women stating they have been voting Democrat, but were really offended by Biden's antics last night.
We'll see.
Biden is the Kanye West (picture of West taking mike from Taylor Swift) of the debates. What he has to say takes priority over everyone else.
Biden was acting like a 10 year old.
"29 The wicked put up a bold front, but the upright give thought to their ways. 30 There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord."
Proverbs 21: 29-30
On "Hannity" last night, he was interviewing Dick Cheney. Cheney said that this is the real Joe. People cringed when he showed up for meetings. Brash, impolite, and continuously interrupted everyone.
Hannity thinks he's manic-depressive, considering how he started the debate and how he ended it.
When I see his behavior during the debate, each time he's acting like a two-year-old I ask myself, "Do we want this insane creature sitting in the Oval Office with his finger on 'the button'?" Could you imagine Lincoln or Reagan behaving this way? On Thursday, Ryan was the adult in the room.
Yup. He's one French fry short of a Happy Meal.
slo joe is nothing if not a professional BSer...his regular role on the sunday shows always highlighted his ability to spew with a straight, and oftentimes maniacal face...
and ryan has been elevated to up and coming messiah, so his task was to live up to those expectations, which is always impossible if you allow a blowhard to talk over you...
im so glad i didnt pin my hopes on the election this yr...
I think he swallowed some of the bleach they used on his teeth! Any whiter and we would have all been blinded, which ironically may have been the point. "Nothing to see here...."
Vice President Joe Bidens disturbing behavior during the Veep debate proved one thing: Team Obama has given up trying to win over independent voters and is betting it all on their base. Mr. Bidens laughter, dismissive comments and smirks whenever Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) spoke was obviously an effort to placate those who react the same way when someone dares to point out President Obamas failures and offers alternatives.
The response of the left to Bidens rude behavior on the nationally televised debate is/was predictable. They loved it and insanely believe the rest of us love their insanity, arrogance, and rude behavior.
With over 70 years of life and at least 60 of those years watching liberals lie and feel superior. Decades ago, I came to the conclusion, that they are all mentally unstable and there is no cure for them.
They all suffer from Illusory Superiority Responses. Often this cognitive bias increases with years of faux education and their illusory social status in their increasing unstable/immature minds.
Illusory Superiority Response is a cognitive bias that causes people to overestimate their positive qualities and abilities and to underestimate their negative qualities, relative to others. This makes them under estimate real winners like Ronald Reagan.
So they label anyone, who dares to challenge their insane/rude Illusory Superiority Responses, as red necked, stupid, knuckle draggers rather than listen to what we have learned over the years, decades and centuries from history.
With the instant reality, we now have with the internet, Fox and social nets, the left wing mediots are losing their ability to lie, cover, and omit their beloved Obamas/Bidens mentally unstable responses.
The rabid/mentally unstable hard core liberals love the Illusory Superiority responses of Obama/Biden/Pelosi/Reed and others.
However, the instant and nationwide exposed insanity of their Illusory Superiority responses is killing them with the independent voters.
institutionalized alinsky-ism on steroids...
the *elite intellectuals* are really pretty simple minded and are easily convinced that all this progressive crap is really going to lead to utopia...
about the same as the camel humpers and their moon-god...
Two interesting examples of Illusory Superiority Responses:

2. About the same as the camel humpers and their moon-god...
It is hard to tell which group is more dangerous to America and Americans.
He was either coached to behave this way or this is his real behavior. Either of those two disqualify him for VP/President.

PedalMonsters Klone- Based on the legendary Klon Centaur, the PedalMonsters klone is the pedal that put us on the map. It's still our most requested pedal and for good reason. It works well with just about any amp/guitar and sounds great no matter what setting. Essentially the klon is a overdrive/boost pedal that can do just about anything.
Want more gain? Done.
Need a clean boost? Done.
Want to ride a magical pony? Done.
Get all of the Klonlike goodness, without any of the ridiculous pricing!
PLEASE NOTE: Our klone operates on standard 9v and is true bypass. Not all 9v are created equal and we would strongly ask you to not just randomly plug a 9v into the klone otherwise you risk damaging your pedal. We would recommend using a 1spot/VoodooLab PP as it must operate on strictly 9v and 100ma.
Also, since each pedal is built to order, please expect a 7-14 day lead time for our elves to build the pedal for you.
Dimensions: 4.67" x 3.68" x 1.18" (119mm x 94mm x 30mm)

I was searching for a nice transparent overdrive and decided on this Klone. All I can say is wow, on it's own it is amazing, but then you go and stack it on top of more gain and it brings your tone to new heights. So warm and buttery. This will always be a standard on all my boards from here on out. Thanks so much.
Posted by Unknown on 17th Mar 2016
Yes. Just yes. Dont think about it. Get this pedal on your board asap. Just use it with anything. Boost your tubescreamer. Boost your cleans! Boost your pedals! BOOST THE NUMBER OF WOMEN YOULL SLEEP WITH ONCE THEY SEE THIS ON YOUR BOARD. Its insane.
Posted by Adam on 29th Feb 2016
The moment I put this pedal on my board it never turned off. Perfect for boost, even better for crunch. I absolutely love this pedal. My usual setting is for a clean guitar, and I use this pedal to just give my Gibson's a little bite... No boost, not distortion, just a good clean, nice crunch. An amazing sound I didn't realize I wanted so badly.
Posted by Mark Y on 5th Feb 2016
I don't know about you guys but not being alive when this pedal was around for a price that wasn't 2k, made the desire of finding it really difficult. I checked some places out via youtube or product reviews and basically heard tubescreamer clones trying to play off that they had this sound locked in. These guys fucking nailed it. Its the most buttery clone I have ever heard, and honestly having 2 or 3 of these wouldn't hurt at all. They did a fantastic job on the artwork and keeping it classic if you are like me and want something that represents the old school pedal. I still cant believe this was only 150$.
Posted by Joe Castaneda on 15th Dec 2015
If you are a fan of SRV's tone from Texas Flood, then this is the pedal for you. I've owned several OD pedals over the years and this one nails it even at low volumes. I'm blown away. I've actually used and original Klon before and I remember how good it made my Strat sound. This pedal sounds like what I remember and that's why I took a chance on it. Glad I did.
Posted by Julia on 14th Dec 2015
This pedal is great. Super transparent. Got mine in sky blue and I love everything from the color to the knobs to the wide variety of tones you can get out of this thing. Also the light is awesome. Low gain for some nice crunch, high gain for great dirt. Perfect for any pedal board.
Posted by François Briant on 11th Nov 2015
Énorme pédale de boost / overdrive et pourtant j'en ai possédé beaucoup. Ce truc est tout bonnement incroyable. Je ne peux pas comparer avec l'originale, ne l'ayant jamais eu entre les mains, mais c'est tout à fait ce que je recherchais. Et pour le prix, il n'y a pas photo. Fabriquée à la commande, livrée en 15 jours avec en prime une sucette dans la boîte. Foncez !!!
Thank you Pedal monsters.
Posted by Chad on 5th Sep 2015
So this is my third Klone from Pedal Monsters. Lime an idiot, I sold my first, then missed it do I bought a second and then sold that one. This one is staying put. You can get a ton of different tones from this pedal and all of them useable, there really isn't a sweet spot on this one that takes hours to find, you just plug in and get a great sound no matter where you set it.
Posted by Jean on 14th Feb 2015
J'utilise la pédale en "always on", une fois que tu as ton son à l'ampli, tu appuis, gain a zéro et... C'est ton son en mieux!
les gars de Pedalmonsters assurent!

I am a newcomer to the Klon clones' universe. Actually I am a TS guy. But I am also curious. So I bought this pedal from Pedal Monsters. When testing it I did not run the Klone against any Klon originals or clones. And let me tell you: THIS IS A GREAT PEDAL NO MATTER WHAT! It is extremely musical and versatile, and improved my playing and tones to another level. Besides, it is a solid, well built, effect. I opened the case and saw a perfect and clean distribution of connections and tops soldering. The components are all high quality items. Frankly, I wish that all pedals that I have would show such a high degreee of project and workmanship with sound results as fine as this Pedal Monsters jewel. And I bet that it is far better than the Klon.
PS: the pedal came in in a very attractive packaging and was delivered within the promised lead time. Thank you PMs!

GDC 2009: Prince of Persia Producer Explains Difficulty
Following low sales, Ben Mattes says they have to find the right balance.
Prince of Persia had good buzz leading to its launch, but the no-fail difficulty from Elika made some feel the game was just too easy. At the Game Developers Conference this week, MTV Multiplayer reports that producer Ben Mattes has explained some of his motivation behind the challenge level, and talked about lessons learned from it.
"I guess I made the mistake of projecting my own attitudes," he said. "I believed that, as a consumer base, the gaming industry had evolved to the point where they were punishing themselves for their failures." He said that they thought being rescued "would be a devastating thing because it ruined your perfect run." No such luck, though, as many felt it removed the challenge from the game and made it too casual-friendly.
After Prince of Persia failed to make a dent in the NPDs following its December release, Mattes is clearly rethinking the strategy for future games. "We can't continue to punish players for not being super leet haxxors," he jokes, "but we have to do enough so that [hardcore gamers] won't sell the game back."

i loved the gamePosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by ibanezdropd
I seriously get so angry at people that hate game because they are too easy or whatever. Yes, the game was pretty easy, but every game doesn't need to be an exercise in extracted nails. I am a gamer. I have been playing games since the Atari 2600.
Instead of jumping down the throat of a developer for not killing you evertime you miss a jump take solace in the flow of the game. Appreciate how beautiful the game is and how you can play for hours and hours with getting frustrated and throwing the controller across the room.
Games don't need to be punishing. Some people need to learn to appraciate game for what the are and not what they think they should be.
In this sense, I have learned to accept the Wii. It's uber casual.... but the casualness isn't what bothers me. It's the fact that most of the games are horrible. So I have just accepted it for what it is.
To the point... making a game easy doesn't make it a bad game if that game is fun, which prince of persia is. But guess what... making a game too hard can.
I think This Game Is perfect For a Gamer And Non Gamer !!!Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by DarkusMarkus
I mean this title is visually stunning ... the fight sequences repetitive but not boring , like taking the same car or subway at the same time to work every single day .
message to the haters : try and find another unique looking platformer like this !!! Good Luck !
You got it wrongPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by Firestorm88
"Not Dying" wasn't the problem. Unless the person was really think, I think just about everyone understood that Elika saving you meant you'd failed. The problem was you had no control over your actions. The entire game was one long quick time action sequence.
There was also the fact that you had to stop and talk to hear the story in a game where it should have been all about the flow of running, but that's really a seperate complaint. Confused me as to why they didn't just talk as they did the actions rather than stand still.
My 0.02$Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by DxAxxxTyriel
I loved the new Prince of Persia, and it wasnt a reboot (not sure tho, it would be a cold day in hell if they decided to "erase" the SoT Trilogy). I'm a big fan of PoP (SoT's, WW, T2T and PoP), and this game rocked, the safety net was a bit cool.... cause whats the point of buying a console (Pc or whatever) then paying 20-40$ for the game, and having a nervous breakdown cause you cant complete a level/boss fight/challenge? it took me an hour to complete the Waterworks puzzle... which was frustrating.
Games must be fun, while in the Trilogy you could rewind a limited amount of times, you must try not to make mistakes.... If lets say, in the new PoP, Elika would have a Bar representing her "Light Energy" (each time she would rescue you or expand you jump it would deplete and regernerate while stationary (Or regen only on healed Fertile ground)), then it would suck, cause you gotta hang on that column or on that Swing bar to progress.... which would screw the players tempo of getting from point A to B.
And, i mean, it kinda made sense, if in the Trilogy you died, you could rewind time (a normal explanation), while in the New PoP, there is no dagger or amulet that rewinds time.... so if you die then you truly die, making it feel like a story without the occasional "he rewinded" explanation... When i played, i never died, i mean i got close to death and such but no dying.... So it all fits in...
Personally, i think the New PoP beats the previous titles in Acrobatics (Ceiling run.... i mean Come on! Chuck Norris wouldnt be able to do that!) and some other aspects, but it certainly does not fail.... Infact, i predict that the Sequels (if there wont be a sequel(s), then i will officially chop off my own right hand, so i would never play games cause without PoP... the Gaming world feels empty to me) will be Award winning. I see the New PoP as an experiment, which turned out good but not perfect, the sequels will certainly perfect it.
Just my Opinion.
hmmPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by ghost_351
Personaly I think this game would of been great if it just did a few things like the old PoP games. I meen like pick up wepons that your enemies drop and fight more than one at a time. I really liked in Warrior Within how when you picked up a weapon how you could do a whole lot more and better moves. Also let me do the stuff that I can do in normal game play wile im fighting like wall run and jump. I didnt think that elika saving you impacked the game at all I found that it was the same as respawning at a check point. atho I think the game could of had a bit harder platforming. I enjoied it over all tho.
PS. I agree with moth_city it did feel like there was slight lag between me pressing the button and the prince doing the action
Release datePosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by chrisswiss
Wasn't this game released at the end of the Holiday march? Shouldn't Ubisoft consider spreading its releases a little more? If they saved the game and the downloadable content for February, it might've done a lot better. I'm achievement whoring this game right now and I'm liking it a lot more than I did before.
I really hope they don't listen to the vocal minority too much on their next outing. Last time they did that we got Warrior Within.
This has all been said alreadyPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by moth_city
But I'm going to throw my 2 cents in the event someone at Ubisoft is listening. I can only speak for myself but I don't think it being too easy is the reason it didn't sell well. Most everything on the Wii and DS is easy and they still sell. I bought the Prince of Persia but didn't end up finishing it. I think the biggest turn off for me was that the X button (on the PS3) did everything. So sure I couldn't die but I still fell way more than I did in the other games because I wanted X to wall run but the game thought I wanted to jump off the wall, and so on. Also it felt to me like there was a slight lag between my pressing the button and the prince doing whatever the game thought X should do that time. Then the combat. The prince should be able to run around and up walls while fighting multiple enemies. I thought the combat was too stifling. Also, I thought the collecting light orbs was just tacked on. It kept me from looking at the beautiful environments and looking for the next one. Not to mention the crowded Christmas that caused more than a few games to sell less than they might have otherwise. It's just a lot of little things that bugged me and I imagine a few other gamers. Oh, and Nathan Drake isn't the Prince of Persia, he's Nathan Drake.
Being savedPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by kid_atomic
When I read reviews and previews of this game I had the false notion that Elika would allow you to continue your progress and push you to the next ledge when you messed up. However you restart from where you began on that platform section. How is this different than any other game? You fall into a pit and you still have to reattempt it. The boss battles are the only places I really felt the safety net but even there they get their energy back and you have to break them back down again when you mess up. I really feel the press made too big of a fuss about it and focused on it in a false way thus making people shy away from an otherwise decent experience. It was not my favorite game of the year and the platforming could have been a bit more difficult, I never felt as free as I would have liked to experiment with a skill set, but I did feel rewarded in many places. It also felt a bit linear despite their best efforts to say it wasn't. I'll be interested to see how Assassins Creed sequels may play off this I would love to have a truly open scalable world with a larger set of moves improvisation available. There was certain places you could jump and others you could not I would love to really be able to size up the environments and play off of them more than just having one right way.
i wasnt going to commentPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by captain_chody
but i just cant not say anything about this game. the first 3 games where good but had many fails, this new POP is just bad not only do they let you opt out of most of the story but the controls where complete and utter crap. the only thing i found breath taking in this game was the graphics but even they cant excuse the poor gameplay, let the prince die with this game and leave it at that. if you dont agree thats fine but dont go all angry at me for it we can talk about it like adults.
edit: i agree with moth_city, thats how i felt when playing the game. i also forgot to mention the whole elika save thing, i did not feel like it held the game back in any way. this is because of the trophy that you can get which you can only get if she saves you less then 100 times. and when you did fall and she saved you it not like you're gona try anyless to get where you're going, if anything its gona make you try harder so you dont fail again
I had no issue with the difficultyPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by milkman_v1
After the controller-smashing ire of The Two Thrones (thanks to long stretches between save points), I was glad to just enjoy the wonderful journey of PoP with its great graphics, neat story, and fun platforming. The low sales has more to do with the same reason Sands of Time sold low as well; it was released in December and got crushed by the big guns. Next time around, do it in March!
I'm a hardcore gamer!Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by NAZAR3NE
And during my first playthrough of PoP it was a devastating thing to be rescued because it ruined my perfect run and I actualy felt something every single time I made a mistake. Mattes was right in the first place. I love the new PoP for all the reasons people hate it. And again, I'm an HCG.
Also, I have not traded it... Anything BUT a casual gamer and I still own PoP-NG. And although I liked the dlc, I do think that it should have been made with the people who actually enjoyed it in mind. I would have liked more story and the sort of pacing that the game had in the first place. I hope theres more dlc in the works, no need for a sequel untill like 2011(I say this about everything nowadays).
Sands of Time trilogy was way better.Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by Senor_Burrito
This game was basically about running around the same levels and doing the exact same stuff, over and over again. How about instead of saying you have low sales because of lack of difficulty (which isn't necessarily true for some parts of the game), why not just come out and say you've made a pretty awful game and really didn't think this one through.
I dunnoPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by TreyIM2
The only PoP I've ever played and owned is the first one on the NES but leading up to the release of this previous one, I was a bit amped to get it yet when it dropped, I held off, especially after the reading the reviews. I almost bought it after it dropped to $39.99 but put it back. Now I just wanna rent it, some day, but I dunno.
You all hate funPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by SuckaVanHellsing

for me...Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by jeffRocket
it was just the same thing over and over and over and over and over and alot of going back to the same areas oh and i hated the plates. i would have much rather have had to figure out through more puzzles how tro get to different hard to reach areas. them damn plates. hated them.
Thankfully...Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by Sweaty_Moobs
Thankfully, after the game's release someone invented difficulty settings.
It was the combat, not the lack of difficulty.Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by CHANCE72
Fighting characters one-on-one, every single time. Poorly implemented combos, chain combos, stiff animations, qte during the middle of fights. The sense of free flowing swordplay was completely destroyed. Imagine if each of the battles flowed like Soul Calibur?
No Fail Not The Problem HerePosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by ChicNSTu902
I had no problem with the quote un-quote no fail with Erika. I thought this game just got lost in the crush of game's released between October & November and this was essentally the last of the big releases dropping around December 5th I think. If Ubi would have released this in say Febuary or March you would have seen a bigger bump in sales I believe. The art style and exploration gameplay was alot of fun for me I enjoyed this much more than the last Tomb Raider release. My only nitpick would have been some more hand to hand combat sequences and the boss battles should have had some enviroment interaction to them. The depth and scaling on the levels was amazing and using that in boss battles could have produced some really "wow" moments to book end those levels. Ubi is on the right path the prince series, it just needs a tweek here or there. Maybe this finds a audience this spring with a price drop? Please for the next game keep the art style.
Silly!Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by ol'guy
This game was basically flawed with some able to play and others not so well with outdated quicktime gameplay. Games need to be tested thouroghly with all kinds of players before being releised to the public. This dev doesn't believe that that's necessary. And that is why they will always fail.

you could say, like, Elika Rescues Me,
or I Have to Wait 10 Seconds to Reload.
Honestly...Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by SONICast
The game wasn't that bad. I actually enjoyed it. The problem, as stated below, was that there was no difficulty curve. It was just the same thing throughout the entire game. It got very repetitive after awhile, but not enough for me to stop playing it or anything like that. Elika was fine too. It would have sucked to repeat some of the sections in the game without Elika saving you.
This pony's getting old....Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
Did anyone consider the fact that once Sands of Time swept the world, Ubisoft quickly churned out sequels that pulled the series in a number of directions, instead of keeping them congruent with a general vibe? Sands was a sort of magical adventure, while Warrior Within had a scruffy, aggressive Prince calling a woman a bitch and having an embarassingly modern-day "baditude", and the Two Thrones screamed "gimmick". I feel as though the recent "reboot" was decent, but amazingly easy, without a proper progression of difficulty. It got pretty monotonous for this reason, and didn't feel very rewarding once it was finished (in my opinion). Basically, the series went off track for a while, and now they're sort of "rediscovering" what PoP is about. The sales may be better next round, but if not, then it could be too late. I'm actually wondering what else they could possibly do with the series that wouldn't be a repeat of the same wall-running, swinging and jumping?
Really?Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by Anthony_Galindo
I don't believe the game didn't sell because a few idiots felt it was too easy. That would mean that every one that bought the game then went on to tell their friends not to buy it because it was too easy. I just don't see that happening. Maybe the general public didn't appreciate the art style or simply aren't interested in a Prince of Persia game. I for one absolutely loved the game and have recommended it to others. Since the game was easier that should give no one the excuse to not play all the way through to the end. In my opinion it has some of the best characters and ending in any game.
I LIKE EASY GAMES ONCE IN AWHILE...Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by RUD12C4ABJ?
Not being able to die wasn't the issue!Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by stevehatesyou
Seriously, the instant reload after death was the best thing about that game - I'm a "hardcore gamer" (I guess), and I can't stand having to replay segments that I've already finished. It's asinine. And the lack of that obnoxious punishment wasn't the reason that the game was too easy.
The problem was that you could access the levels in any order that you wanted... thereby leaving no way to scale the difficulty as the player progressed. There was no difficulty curve at all. Difficulty has to increase as the player gets better at the game, otherwise there's no challenge to keep them interested, and it begins to get very repetitious.
MaybePosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by SDHero
Just maybe, they shouldn't listen to the so-called hardcore. Maybe instead they simply should've released the game in another time of the year that wasn't so front loaded with hardcore experiences. Or maybe they should've owned up and pitched the game as a more casual experience than the Sands games.
Instead, they went and tweaked the difficulty for the DLC so that people like me who enjoyed the original game were turned off. I wonder when publishers are going to learn that listening to the demands of message board posters won't guarantee you better sales?
In other wordsPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by SuckaVanHellsing
Expect them to learn nothing and pull a Warrior Within all over again.
What is the big deal about Elika?!Posted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by EmperorMace
I do not really see the big deal with Elika saving you in PoP. It is basically the same as any other checkpoint system in a game except that rather than having an arbitrary location that your character respawns at inexplicably, you have an actual story-based context for the respawn. Okay so the checkpoints in PoP may have been a little frequent, but there were areas of the game (especially in the "Epilogue" DLC) where you could have a set-back of a few minutes if you died. I personally think that the PoP DLC was pretty well balanced in terms of difficulty and I would like to see the inevitable sequel take it's cues from that, with a few minor tweaks and preferrably a little more variation in combat and puzzle solving.
My opinionPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by ghostman2k78
I could deal with the 'you can't die' issue, but I'd suggest cutting out the 'peter pan' flying parts...actually I thought all of the 'plate to plate' moves were incredibly silly, but the flying one was the worst.
Another change I'd make- more exploration, less light thingy collecting- I hated when I had to traverse through an area I'd already explored just to collect light thingies- I would have liked the game more if they were better hidden but available to be found during your first trip through the area.

Modern Design Meets Natural Beauty
At night, the Fogo Island Inn glows like a futuristic lighthouse. Perched on 50-foot stilts, it looms above a craggy outcrop on an island off the northeast coast of Newfoundland. Architect Todd Saunders designed the building with sharp angles and rough contours that echo the jagged landscape. Every element of the 29-room inn was created on Fogo, a result of collaborations between residents and Canadian and European designers. The local quiltmakers' guild stitched pieces based on antique designs, and six traditional patterns were used in the wallpaper. The inn's public spaces include a movie theater, an art gallery, rooftop hot tubs, and a restaurant that uses locally foraged ingredients such as caribou moss.
Doubles from $530. (709) 658-3444. This appeared in the October 2013 issue.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's former ruler General (retd) Pervez Musharraf might be celebrating his small victory of bringing the Pakistan Army face to face with the democratic government but the politicians stand united in asking the army not to side with the head of a political party and let him face trial.
They say if the army had any issue regarding Musharraf, this could have been discussed with the elected representatives instead of making a public statement, which may have many repercussions.
General Raheel Sharif's statement of preserving the dignity and institutional pride of the army sent shivers across the country.
The PML-N took it as a welcome statement saying that every institution has dignity and pride, which must be preserved.
Senior PPP leader Senator Raza Rabbani said that Musharraf's issue was separate from the Pakistan Army as Musharraf was a retired general and instead of leading a retired life, he has opted to become a politician; therefore, he will be subjected to criticism which does not mean that the institution of the Pakistan Army is being criticized.
"Musharraf does not represent the Pakistan Army, he represents the APML," said Rabbani adding: "He cannot have his cake and eat it too." Rabbani said had the former ruler of Pakistan been living a retired life, he would not have faced criticism.

#21741 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)
render_to_string without providing a dictionary still puts a dictionary into the context
|Reported by:
|Keryn Knight <django@…>
|Owned by:
|Template system
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
given the following scenario:
>>> from django.template.loader import render_to_string >>> from django.template import Context >>> render_to_string('file.extension', context_instance=Context()) >>> # or ... >>> render_to_string('file.extension')
where a dictionary is explicitly not being provided, the final context given to the template when render() is called will have {} as the last of the .dicts
The reason is because if none is provided, a new dict is created, and then it is provided to the context instance (1, 2) without checking the dict's len()
Marking as cleanup/optimization because it doesn't cause any problems (the only one being: it appears in debug_toolbar), but providing the ticket at least means the option is there to change it, and a history of why not to change it exists if wontfix'd (which may be the best course of action, on balance, but that's not for me to say)
Change History (5)
comment:1 Changed 3 years ago by bmispelon
- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
I'm +0 on this but I think it'd be easier to discuss over a concrete proposal so I'll accept the ticket.
Any proposal should not add too much complexity and should aim at remaining as backwards-compatible as possible.
comment:2 Changed 3 years ago by Keryn Knight <django@…>
The patch, such as it is,
- is in this branch https://github.com/kezabelle/django/tree/bugfix/ticket_21741
- diff against master is https://github.com/kezabelle/django/compare/bugfix;ticket_21741
- the commit in question is currently https://github.com/kezabelle/django/commit/b2f6a4fa7049e888465a50394f038f6c7a7d31f4
All tests pass, but there's no test to evidence the proposed fix works as intended, because I'm not sure how to write such a unit test - the function is a black box - I can't verify the context given to the template is of the correct length, because the return value is obviously a string. Any ideas on how one might test the context for correctness in this scenario would be gratefully received.
comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by bmispelon
I guess it'd be possible to write a custom template tag that outputs info about the context and use it, but that might be a bit complicated.
Another way would be to create a custom Context and pass it as context_instance. That way you could make sure that no extra layer is added to it.
The downside of this is that you're only testing half of the change but other than that, it's quite simple to implement.

Aragon Housing Association can offer support and advice to people who are suffering domestic abuse.
It can take many forms and is not always physical violence by a man against a woman, as many people believe. Domestic abuse can be physical, mental or emotional.
