yea i knoticed that too...specially when i hooked up my component cables
I've had my Wii for about a week now and I love it. The only gripe I have at this point is all of the jaggies that are apparent in every game. This drives me nuts...I'm not sure why they couldn't get smooth edges...it doesn't seem like a difficult task for such an advanced console.
I was wondering if when the game makers get more used to programming for the system if they will be able to make "smoother" games. Or maybe when the games get more graphically advanced the jaggies will get worse because the Wii hardware cant handle it?
I'd also love to see an upgrade to 720p...that would make me love nintendo even more....no jaggies...and 720p. my life would be complete.
yea i knoticed that too...specially when i hooked up my component cables
no one else has any thoughts on the matter?
I guess its just showing the limitations of the Wii. I know its not meant to have terribly ugly graphics, but the hardware does limit it from showing us perfectly smooth textures.
There is no anti-aliasing, so it really won't improve with the games that much. Except for cartoonish game.
Dreamcast Fan Fo Lyfe
What is this word you guys call "jaggies"
Characters wanted for SSBB : King K.Rool, Lucario, Bubsy, Captain Olimar and Waluigi
Clippers -- Buccaneers -- Ducks -- Devil Rays
Jaggies are the not complete ''circles'' on edges. Its caused by the lack of filtering. For example, start a game in ur pc like Half life 2. Through the options, enable 4x AA. See the outcome. Then disable it, and play the game again.
Anyway, most games on the wii have GC graphics right now, and any1 who comes from the pc world with the good VGAs, will have to adjust to the new looks a bit. I did, but I was never surprised seeing jaggies anyway. But some filtering can be applied, for example check out SSX blur, it looks awesome.
Zelda finished in 45 hours, used guide 3-4 times...
Currently waiting for MP3, Super Smash Bros:Brawl
Here's a thought...
You guys may or not know but Asus is making an external graphics card for labtops (7900gs to start)
What's to prevent similar products on consoles?
(It could easily bump FPS and if AA could somehow be forced)
But yes, I've noticed this, especialy on Zelda and Wii Sports
Does anti-aliasing come from additional software, or would different hardware need to be incorporated for this?Originally Posted by vagrant
AA is usually done by the video card, in the case of a computer. i suppose you could do it with software, considering it is all just calculations, but the strain it would put on the frame rate wouldn't be worth it most likely. if you haven't played games without AA before, now is a great time to try it out. oh, and if you want to get rid of the jaggies, you can always use the composite cables, that is natural AA
and for an external video card to come out on a console, there would first have to be a 'plug' to connect it through which the console sent and received video information. you could theoretically construct a post-processing box that would smooth out the jaggies, but you would probably wind up getting artifacts or lag, nothing good comes without its own penalty. if you were using progressive scan, because twice the amount of information is present per update(or frame), it would work better with some sort of post-processing AA filter.
heres a big long technical article about AA filters. http://www.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm/appnote_number/928

The Christmas Shoes
It was almost Christmas time,
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two,
Not really in the Christmas mood.
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously,
Pacing round like little boys do,
And in his hands, he held a pair of shoes.
And his clothes were worn and old.
He was dirty from head to toe,
And when it came his time to pay,
I couldn't believe what I heard him say.
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.
Could you hurry, Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time.
You see, she's been sick for quite a while;
Know these shoes will make her smile.
Want her to look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight.
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said "There's not enough here."
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me.
He said "Momma made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without.
Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?
Somehow I've got to buy these Christmas shoes!"
So I laid the money down;
I just had to help him out.
And I'll never forget the look on his face
When he said "Momma's gonna look so great!"
I knew that I got a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out.
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about.
Chorus in children's voices
Young boy:
I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight.

Trouble ahead for the internet economy
05:56, February 6 2013
More than two thirds of consumers say "no" to online tracking.
Many consumers around the globe are becoming more cautious about their personal data being collected when on the internet.
According to Ovum this is creating a threatening scenario for the internet economy as more people are looking for tools that help them remain untraceable online.
Ovum's recent consumer insights survey revealed that 68% of consumers across 11 couuntires would select a "do not track" (DNT) feature if they could easily select the option.
Ovum predicts that this consumer attitude could mean a data "black hole" could open up under the web economy.
Stricter regulation could also strangle personal data supply and have a significant impact on targeted advertising, CRM, data storage, big data analysis and other related industries.
"Unfortunately, in the gold rush that is big data, taking the supply of 'little data' - personal data - for granted seems to be an accident waiting to happen," said Mark Little, principal analyst at Ovum. "However, consumers are being empowered with new tools and services to monitor, control, and secure their personal data as never before, and it seems they increasingly have the motivation to use them."
Last year the EU justice commissioner, Viviane Reding announced new proposals to give users control over their personal data.
The proposal will give internet users 'the right to be forgotten' and means companies must delete user data by those who request it.
The data proposal will also heavily penalise companies for data breaches with fines up to €1 million or 2% of the company's global annual turnover.
Data privacy scandals and issues over data use policies by Facebook and Google have increased consumer concerns about their personal data.
Ovum's study found that only 14% of consumers believe that internet companies are actually truthful about their use of consumer's personal data.
Ovum says that it will be a challenge for internet companies to change consumer perceptions about how their data is being used.
The analyst firm suggests companies introduce new privacy tools and campaigns to show consumers that they can be trusted. Improving the transparency of data collection will also help build trust.
"Internet companies need a new set of messages to change consumers' attitudes. These messages must be based on positive direct relationships, engagement with consumers, and the provision of genuine and trustworthy privacy controls," added Little. "Most importantly, data controllers need a better feel for the approaching disruption to their supply lines, and must invest in tools that help them understand the profile of today's negatively-minded users - tomorrow's invisible consumers."

TRENTON — A technician for the state Department of Transportation was indicted today for collecting $14,889 in unearned overtime by falsifying payroll records, state authorities said.
From January through June of last year, Kyle Rounsaville, 50, of Easton, Pa., allegedly stole 308 hours by putting in for overtime shifts he claimed to have worked at job sites, when in fact he never went to the sites or did any work during the shifts, the state Attorney General's Office said.
State prosecutors also accused Rounsaville, a construction and maintenance technician who inspects job sites for safety violations, of attempting to circumvent a GPS tracker on his state vehicle by purchasing a jamming device in order to conceal his location.
State payroll records show Rounsaville earned $58,697 last year, including $16,077 in overtime. He earned a total of $83,843 in 2012, records show, including $24,427 in overtime. At attorney for Rounsaville did not immediately return a call for comment, and the status of his employment with the department was not immediately clear.
The indictment, handed up by a state grand jury in Mercer County, charged Rounsaville with official misconduct, theft by deception, tampering with public records, and falsifying or tampering with public records. If convicted of the most serious charge, he faces five to 10 years in state prison.

When syndicated columnist John Crisp attempts to pick a fight over Christmas and its status among Americans, he isn't wrong, he just isn't right. And that is often the case when arguments are seated on foundations that are historically faulty.
While years of cultural progression have coated the celebration of Jesus' birth with layers of selfish commercial and religious soot, who can really argue that the celebration itself has pagan origins?
The date was picked, not because of any allegiance to paganism but to demonstrate the triumph of God's kingdom over all sin and false beliefs of this world.
And an excellent argument can be made that the Christmas tree finds its origins in two different German religious traditions, even as there is a case to be made that St. Nicolas, the bishop of Myra, attended the pivotal Council of Nicea in the year 325.
But frankly, all of this is quite beside the real point. While Crisp attempts to pick a fight with Christmas, and with those who oppose attempts to banish it bit by bit, Christmas just doesn't need to fight back. Christmas has already won.
The attempt to banish Christmas from the public sphere in our pluralistic society is yet another example of the way Christianity has been opposed down through the ages.
And lest you think that I'm just trotting out the victim card, don't worry. When you follow a savior who was unjustly tried, condemned and crucified, you come to realize that following him will mean that opposition is the norm, and suffering is the doorway to both clarity and power in this life.
But it is also a fact worth mentioning that, like the savior, Christianity continues to find life even after societies and nations have declared it dead and buried.
Today in Rome, you can pay your euros and take a spectacular tour of the Colosseum. You'll hear about the thousands of Christians forced to die in the Roman blood sports.
Yet, today the Colosseum is a relic while Christianity continues to offer the free grace of God in Jesus Christ to millions yearly. And the stories of changed lives through him continue to pour in from countries where those who follow Christ do so at the risk of their lives. Thousands who share our faith but not our freedom gladly follow their Lord with joy.
Why? Simply because what Jesus has brought is much more than some political ideal or economic system. He brought — and continues to bring — life the way it was always meant to be lived, both in this world, and the next.
And that is what Christmas is really about. What Crisp abandons as "tribalism" is not actually about trees or lights or carols or fruitcake. It isn't inseparably attached to gifts or parties or crowded malls. It isn't even about time off or family or any of the myriad things that make this season so special and beloved around the world.
Christmas is really about the love and faithfulness of God, who long ago, in the face of a sin-wrecked creation, determined that sin wouldn't win. Instead, he made a promise to send the rescuer who would reclaim creation in all of its brokenness through his son, Jesus Christ. Christmas is the celebration that this promise was fulfilled, and the authority of heaven had once again come to rescue and repair what sin and selfishness had polluted.
And the rescue lives on, bringing restoration and purpose through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And it doesn't look to governmental permission or acceptance from the scholars of academia for its place and power.
Christmas doesn't need to fight any wars. Neither do Christians need to fight for Christmas to find a place. It found its place, just outside Bethlehem 2,000 years ago. And both the king and his kingdom continue to grow, bringing to reality the angelic proclamation of "glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased." And when you see it that way, Christmas has already won the war.

Within the Christian there is a secret place, a sanctuary we must prepare for the Lord. The holy place is not unlike the Holy of Holies in the Jewish Temple. Not until this place is cleansed will the Lord dwell with us in the fullness of His Spirit, not until this room is pure will we truly become the house of the Lord.
BRING OUT THE UNCLEAN THING! "And it was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. " ( 2Thess. 2:14 ) The Lord is cleansing us for the distinct purpose of bringing His people into His glory. Yes, out of His desire to present a pure bride to His Son, the Father is purging the church of it's sin. He is refusing to allow our inter-church relationship to continue without love. According to the scriptures, before Jesus returns, the body of Christ will be holy and blameless, ( see Eph. 5:17, 1 Thess. 5:23, Col. 1:22, Phil. 2:15, etc. ) Through new and successive levels of purification, the house of the Lord will again receive and display the glory of God.
To facilitate the process of cleansing, by way of example, we are going to study one of the greatest periods of restoration and renewal in the Bible: The Rule Of King Hezekiah: Prior to Hezekiah's reign, his father, King Ahaz, brought the very worst form of idolatry into Israel. Ahaz shut the temple doors, and persecuted the priests. Those he did not kill he corrupted. Without the influence of the Godly priesthood, Israel soon followed Ahaz, into idolatry and unrestrained sin.
Although Hezekiah was a relatively young man when he succeeded Ahaz, he courageously sought revival and healing to the nation. In the very first month of his reign he "opened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them" (2 Chron.29:3) He then consecrated the priesthood and began to restore the Temple, Hezekiah's first priority was to restore true worship. We read, "and he brought in the Priests and Levites and gathered them into the square on the east. Then he said to them, Listen to me, O Levites Consecrate yourselves now, and consecrate the house of the Lord. (2 Chron. 29:4-5)
God initiated His plan to redeem the nations by consecrating the priests and cleansing the house of the Lord. For this task Hezekiah had been prepared. As a young man he watched Israel's "fathers fallen by the sword." The men who were not slain on the battle field could be heard weeping in the grain fields, "our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity" (2 Chron. 29:9) Hezekiah new only one option, one plan was offered to Israel, return to the God. In obedience, he began his reign by consecrating the house of the Lord.
Hezekiah next ordered the priests to "carry the uncleanness out from the Holy Place." Before the Eternal One moves visibly in power, He moves invisibly in holiness, He cleanses His house. Then the outward signs of restoration and revival, the true miracles and true conversions follow. If God will touch cities with His fire, He must put that fire within us. Everything the Almighty does for us as individuals will work to deliver others. He will deliver those who are not innocent, and they will be delivered through the cleanness of our hands.(see Job 22:30)
Hezekiah never stopped thinking of Israel, but knew he must begin the restoration of the nation with the consecration of the priesthood. It is significant that he made no appeal or effort to win the nation itself, he had no program of reform other than restoring true worship. The King's focus was not on turning the heart of the people, but drawing the heart of God. If the Lord is lifted up He will of His own will and power, draw all men unto Himself.
Even as Hezekiah reopened the doors, of the temple, so also in us there is a door which we must open daily unto the Lord. David wrote: "I was always beholding the Lord in my presence" (Acts 2:25). Within the Psalmist heart was a dwelling place for the Lord, David was always beholding the Lord. Similarly, there is something in our presence, in our spirit, which can be opened or closed by God. We must not assume that simply because we are Christians, this gate toward God is automatically open. Jesus stood "at the door" of the Laodicean Church and knocked, desiring to enter their life. We must choose to unlock this door and swing it wide toward Christ.
Yet opening this chamber of our heart can, indeed be a frightening thing. For it requires we not only talk to God, but hear from Him as well. It is one thing to speak honestly with the Lord, but quite another when He speaks without restraint to us. Therefore the most essential commodity for stimulating revival is a tender, open heart before God.
Is the door of your heart open toward God? Can the Spirit of Jesus Christ come in and speak with you ? Are you defenseless to His voice? Can you sense what pleases Him and what draws His pleasure? For us to become sensitive to divine realities, we must live with the door of our heart open. It is impossible to do the will of God otherwise.
King Hezekiah commanded the priests to carry the uncleanness out from the Holy Place. The call to clean the Holy Place was not an option, it was a command," So the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord to cleanse it, and every unclean thing which they found in the temple of the Lord they brought out to the court of the house of the Lord." (2 Chron. 29:16 ) When the priests entered the Holy Place they entered alone, the rest of Israel was in the outer court and beyond. Here privately before God, they were to remove those things which were defiling this sacred place. No one else had seen those desecration's. They could have remained in secret and none except the priests would have known, but they did not. They brought them out, the unclean things. What was unholy was exposed publicly and removed. From where did these abominations arise?
Predominantly they were the sins of the fore fathers; traditions and offences which were handed down from the prior generations, the careless approach to holiness, and unbelief toward the promises of God, the idolatry and worship of man made things were the product of a generation turned from God. It was the legacy of sin and compromise and its effects that the priests removed.
In the new covenant temple, the church it is our private, inner life which needs this deep cleansing. We have inherited traditions which justify and re-enforce darkness of soul within us. Most Christians have little hope that purity of heart is even attainable. The revival which will turn a Nation begins in the trembling unveiling of our hearts, in the removal of what is defiled and hidden within us. I will tell you a mystery, it is in this very place, this chamber of our deepest secrets, that the door to eternity is found. For if the Father is near enough to "see in secret", He is close enough to be seen in secret as well. If He has entered us, we can, in truth, enter Him. The key to entering is intimacy, and intimacy is secrets shared. To ascend the hill of the Lord, to stand in the Holy Place, we must have clean hands and a pure heart, we can not lift up our soul towards falsehood (see Ps. 24: 3-4) At the door of eternity, we must renounce those things hidden because of shame, and in humility of soul, receive Christ's cleansing word.
The Pure in Heart see God, our goal is not merely to be "good" but to see God and in seeing Him, to do what He does. However, John tells us that he who seeks to" see Him just as He is, purifies himself, just as He is pure." (John 3: 2-3) We can be assured that each step deeper into the Lords presence will reveal areas in our hearts which need to be cleansed. Do not be afraid. When the Spirit shows you areas of sin, it is not to condemn you, but to cleanse you. Let me give you an example. A wife of a certain man set herself apart to seek the Lord. Her cry during this time was ,"Lord I want to see you." As she sought the Lord, however, He began to show her areas in her heart where she had fallen short. she prayed " Lord this is not what I asked for, I asked to see You, not me." Then the Holy Spirit comforted her explaining, "Only the pure in heart can see God."
In the same way, the Lord desires His Church to see Him as well. Thus He is exposing the areas in us which are unclean. If we will walk as Jesus walked, we must remember, Christ only did those things He saw the Father do. (Jn. 5:19) Out of the purity of His heart, He beheld God and then revealed His Glory. The purpose of cleansing the house of the Lord is that we might sincerely be prepared for more of Christ. This cleansing must become a way of life, but it does not have to take a life time. For Hezekiah and the people with him, it occurred in eight days. Thus the service of the house of the Lord was established again. " Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced over what God had prepared for the people, because the thing came about suddenly." (2 Chron.29 :35-36) The key here is this: the cleansing of the temple was the highest priority of the king's life. When we are fully engaged in the process of repentance, break through can come about suddenly. Indeed the prophet Malachi tells us that the Lord "whom you seek, will suddenly come to His Temple" (Mal. 3:1) As we restore the house of the Lord to purity, and cleanse the holy place of our hearts of Christ, He will indeed come "suddenly"into our midst. After the Lord, in His fullness, returns to His house, He promises, "Then I will draw near to you for judgement, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against those who swear falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages, the widows and the orphans, and those who turn aside the aliens and do not fear Me." (Mal. 3:5) With the Lord again abiding in His living house, He will release judgement against that which oppresses our Cities. Yet the cleansing of our Cities, begins with the cleansing of the church. It is time to remove sin from the hidden places of our hearts.
Lets pray!
Blessed Jesus, I desire deeply for you to dwell in me. I yearn to be Your holy dwelling place. I ask that the sanctuary of my heart would be purged of every defilement of the flesh and spirit (2 Cor. 7:1) Here they are, Lord Jesus, my hidden sins. I bring them out of the secret chambers of my heart. (Audibly identify your sins by name.) I take them out of the darkness and Expose them to Your light Lord. You have promised You will execute Your Word upon the earth, thoroughly and quickly.
Oh God, thoroughly cleanse my heart, purify me quickly my Master! In Jesus Name, Amen

Space shuttle Discovery, the world's most traveled spaceship, left the International Space Station for its final voyage, Monday.
Discovery got a dramatic send-off by "Star Trek's" original Capt. Kirk.
"Space, the final frontier," actor William Shatner said in a pre-recorded tribute. "These have been the voyages of the space shuttle Discovery. Her 30-year mission: to seek out new science, to build new outposts, to bring nations together on the final frontier, to boldly go and do what no spacecraft has done before."
Astronauts will check out the shuttle wings closely before returning to earth on Wednesday.
Discovery is the oldest of NASA's surviving shuttles and has completed 39 missions for 150 million miles over 27 years.

But with no Inns, how are you supposed to heal? Tonics are found through the mansion, and automatically heal everyone in your party 100% regardless of your levels. That may sound too convenient, but remember, you can't buy tonics. You've to ration the handful littered throughout the whole mansion.'' --> ''WebVideo/TheHappyVideoGameNerd, during his review of ''VideoGame/SweetHome'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNz93wC7W68&t=2m37s]]'' There is a vital gameplay element -- perhaps fuel, or money or air or healing -- which is finite and unreplaceable; if it runs out, you're done for. Therefore, the whole game begins to revolve around managing your supply. If you upset the UnstableEquilibrium by failing to scrimp resources, the game can become {{Unwinnable}}.Strongly related to TooAwesomeToUse, and UnstableEquilibrium. Also see WizardNeedsFoodBadly, AntiGrinding and MinMax.---- !!Examples: * Most {{Roguelike}} {{RPG}} work like this. The reason behind it is that PlayerCharacters usually need food (well, so do players, but most human beings find it difficult to consume digital food), and food is limited for each floor, so you will be forced to ration and go to the next floor when you run out of it. * ''FireEmblem'' games. You can't repeat battles, and the items you have are the ones you'll use in next battle, so not wasting your equipment is crucial for progress. ** Many of the games tend to give heaps of gold on an irregular and [[GuideDangIt unpredictable]] basis, so you can end up with no gold for several chapters if you spend it all too early.* ''VideoGame/MonsterRancher''. Since monsters have a life-span ranging from 1 year to [[MinMaxing 11 years]], you have to be ''very'' cautious of what you make your monster do, and when. In general, the money in this game could be considered as no Economy Management. * ''VideoGame/DragonSlayerIIXanadu'' counts as the UrExample of this. There is a limited number of enemy encounters, some of which boost your Karma stat to a point where you can't get any experience points (you have to acquire a cursed potion to reduce your Karma, which in turn will cost you some hit points). And the icing on the cake? All slain enemies stay slain for good. That, and you also have to keep a healthy supply of food, and properly make decisions on when to upgrade your equipment. * You're going to have a very tough time in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' if you don't learn to how ration your spells and healing items between bonfires. Even ''combat'' is a challenge of resource management since each attack/roll you make will deplete your stamina meter, as well as attacks you block or parry. To make matters worse, keeping your shield up drastically cuts the recovery rate of stamina, meaning that if you don't do things right, you'll either try regenerating stamina and get killed, or keep your shield up and get knocked over. Then killed. * In ''VideoGame/{{Wild ARMs 3}}'' and ''[[VideoGame/WildArms1 Alter Code F]]'', healing items are not available in shops for any price, because the world is a dying wasteland where plants like Heal Berries just don't grow anymore. Later in the game you can grow your own healing items in a garden, but you're still limited in the number of slots for plants and how many can be produced per time period passed.* As denoted by the quote above, ''VideoGame/SweetHome''. * In the original ''Videogame/AloneInTheDark1992'', you have a limited amount of oil for your lamp. Keeping your lamp lit is necessary in some dark rooms. If you run out of oil, you're screwed because you won't be able to get past some rooms or find important stuff in them. Same applies to healing items: you only find ''two'' throughout the entire game. Not to mention weapons, which break or run out of ammo rapidly, and are also finite in number.* ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'' has lantern oil [[CaptainObvious (for your lantern)]] and tinderboxes, used to light candles in the environment. Without light, your SanityMeter drops rapidly. ''VideoGame/{{Penumbra}}'' (by the same developers) has battery life for your flashlight.* Part of many {{Adventure Game}}s (including [[ColossalCave the original]]) usually in the form of food, lighting, or ammunition. Some even offer a bit of sucker's bargain where you can sacrifice some [[ScoringPoints treasure]] in exchange for more supplies.* The central gameplay mechanic in ''VideoGame/{{Turgor}}'', otherwise known as The Void. This is further complicated by the fact that there is ''one'' resource to manage that does ''everything'' (health, ammo, currency, etc). A limited amount appears in each time cycle, and it's alarmingly easy to render the game {{unwinnable}} through clumsy or reckless spending of color.* ''VideoGame/{{SWINE}}'''s campaigns have this trope, despite the game being a tactical RTS. This is because ''everything'' is limited - you only earn Strategic Points at the start of every mission, which you use to field your units, upgrade them and keep them supplied with fuel, ammunition and armor repairs. The number of units you can field is finite, and all three kinds of supplies are finite - in longer missions the supply trailers used to replenish your combat units will themselves run dry. Hence the conservation of the supplies you have, or Points with which to airlift more in, becomes and important strategic factor.* ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'' has the Staff of Life, which can only be obtained once and only used 42 times.* In ''VideoGame/MechCommander'', salvage is everything. The credits you're paid for each mission don't cover all the repairs and upgrades you need, and some items can't be bought in stores, so you'll have to constantly gather salvage to upgrade your mechs. Also, on each mission, you're given ''very'' limited supplies of {{SupportPower}}s, such as artillery and sensor probes.* In ''VideoGame/{{Receiver}}'', bullets are only found by threes and fours (or even ones and twos) scattered widely over the map, and you have no EmergencyWeapon. Make every shot count, in other words.* ''VideoGame/SirYouAreBeingHunted'' makes being tracked by mustachioed, tweed-clad robots that much harder by limiting you to whatever you can scavenge and fit inside your grid. Rifles and shotguns in particular can really mess up your tetris game.* Survival mode in ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars: Dual Strike]]'' tasks you with completing several maps in a row with a limited amount of money, turns, or time. The goal is not merely to win, but to win as quickly and efficiently as possible so that you don't run out of that resource later.* Sieges in ''VideoGame/{{Stronghold}}'' require you to make effective use of the troops, traps and structures you're given throughout the whole scenario. You can't replenish your forces, so a mistake early on can make things very difficult later.* ''Hyperspeed'' is a game of fuel economy. You are exploring a distant galaxy, and once you travel out of range of your home base, the only ways to replenish fuel are to barter it from aliens (unreliable, costly, and often requires entangling yourself in byzantine alien politics) or through destroying alien starbases (of which there are a limited supply, and is guaranteed to make the offended species and its allies declare war on you.) Becoming stranded between stars is a constant peril; if you do become stranded, the only recourse is to bail out and lose all progress you made on your starship, effectively beginning over at level 1.* Parodied in one strip of ''VG Cats'', where Cloud will not even spend one of his inn coupons[[note]]Not only are inn coupons useless for anything else, but even without them, it hardly costs anything to stay at an inn[[/note]] to heal a badly wounded party.* ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' has electricity. You start at 99%, and it drains constantly throughout the night, although it drains faster when you have the lights on or the doors closed. You need to make it from midnight to 6AM. If the power runs out, the robots kill you. If you run out of power between 5 and 6AM, you ''might'' be able to survive by PlayingPossum - [[spoiler: Freddy always shows up in person for power outages, and spends nearly a minute (an in-game hour) celebrating with a creepy song.]]* ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' derives most of its challenge from this trope, once you get past the controls and other complexities. Every single resource has to be accounted for, whether you produce it yourself, acquire (or "[[VideoGameStealing acquire]]") it from caravans, or loot it from invaders.* [[http://humbit.com/rogue/ A False Saint, An Honest Rogue]] has food and temperature. Drop too low on either of those, and you start seeing things.* ''VideoGame/{{Pharaoh}}'': While resources are infinite, the rate of collection is not, and depends on many factors (building placement, workforce, distance from the raw materials, ''availability'' of raw materials if imported, having enough storage space, the weather for floodplain farming...). And if maintaining a suitable balance between having enough of a particular product both to export and satisfy your citizens' needs wasn't enough, you often get demands for ridiculous quantities that almost require you to set up dedicated storage facilities. Juggling them all is the defining aspect of the game, even with the considerable AcceptableBreaksFromReality and AntiFrustrationFeatures.* ''VideoGame/{{Homeworld}}'' could easily turn into a game of resource management, especially early on. Unlike most RTS games you carried your units and remaining resources from one mission to the next, and you didn't always have the luxury of vast resources available to replenish your forces on every map. Suffering too many loses or being forced to abandon parts of your fleet in a hasty retreat could easily lead to an {{Unwinnable}} situation. Using cheap workers to capture powerful enemy ships quickly became a go-to favorite for veteran players.* Early ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' games could definitely qualify. Between having limited ammo, limited healing herbs, and limited inventory space; they often became games of deciding just when to fight and when to find a way to avoid that newest pack of zombies and save your ammo, or risk reaching a point where you're screwed with nothing but a knife to defend yourself.* It is possible to run out of starship fuel in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''. It's not instantly fatal, as you can expend other resources to get you to the nearest star port. But if you run out of fuel ''and'' resources you can't move and the game is over. Fortunately, this is so hard to do you basically have to try to do it in order to pull it off.* Matches are used in ''VideoGame/EnigmaAnIllusionNamedFamily'' to [[NoticeThis reveal plot-vital items]] and keep Minhyuk's [[SanityMeter fear of]] [[PrimalFear the dark]] under control. There's only a limited amount of them to be found, they each last only five seconds each, and '''don't''' count as 'plot-important', meaning [[AlwaysCheckBehindTheChair you'll have to hunt for them]]. And randomly checking objects can make noise, attracting the killer's attention...* ''VideoGame/TheLongDark'', being a survival game, involves collecting and preserving sustenance, supplies, tools, and shelter in the midst of the harsh Canadian winter. The map has a finite amount of food, medicine, bullets and matches on the map, and the game is set up so gaining one resource will mean expending another (for example, you'll need to eat and drink after a long day gather firewood, and melting snow and cooking food will require starting a fire, etc.) so you need to carefully consider your every action. You will run out of something and die eventually, though - the point of the game is how long you can last.* ''VideoGame/MercenaryForce'' is a ShootEmUp but unlike others of its genre, it involves resource management via money. You have a limited supply of money to buy mercenaries at the start of the game and you must use that money to buy replacements between levels and PowerUpFood at shops to keep them high in hit points. Enemies [[MoneySpider do drop coins]] but they are not generous in dropping them when killed. Strategy involves not only getting money when you can but using it wisely and managing your own mercenaries by keeping them alive.* ''VideoGame/{{Wick}}'' has candles to keep the Weaver children away. The candle slowly depletes through the night and need to be replaced. New candles can be lit with old candles. Matches can be used if the character runs out of candles, but once they run out, there is no opportunity for new light sources.----

View of Callisto from Voyager and Galileo
View of Callisto, most distant of the four large moons of Jupiter. This mosaic was prepared from images obtained by three spacecraft: Voyager 1 (left side), Galileo (middle), and Voyager 2 data (right side). The Voyager data were taken in 1979 but left a "gap" centered at longitude 290 degrees in the trailing hemisphere of Callisto. The Galileo Solid-State Imaging system photographed this area on its second orbit around Jupiter on 9 September, 1996 Universal Time. The resolution of the Galileo data is 4.3 kilometers/pixel (2.7 miles), meaning that the smallest visible feature is about 12 kilometers (7 miles) across. North is to the top of the picture.
Features of interest in the new Galileo data include a dark, smooth area in the northern latitudes (upper third) which appears to mantle older terrain. This could be dark ejecta from a small impact crater. Also visible is a fresh, sharp-rimmed crater some 90 km (56 miles) across named Igaluk (center left third of picture), and a bright zone in the south polar area (bottom of image) which could be an impact scar.

An Obligation To Help Each Other
There are so many ways to support each other – even signing up for each other's apps and giving feedback is invaluable. We should all help each other.
By Joanne Lang (Founder & CEO, AboutOne)
AboutOne would not be where it is today without the support I received early on from Philly Startup Leaders (PSL). This group of like-minded entrepreneurs gave me invaluable advice and contacts.
Gloria Bell and Tracey Welson-Rossman are key members of this organization who have given selflessly of their time, so when they invited me to speak at the Philadelphia Women in Tech Summit, I was thrilled to return the favor.

HP finally confirmed the problems encountered at its Pavilion notebooks, series 6000 and 9000.
Apparently the issue comes from the built-in Wi-Fi that is not working, as some owners complained.
The cards are not detecting the network and it seemed that the affected machines are only those running with AMD and Windows Vista.
Silently, HP worked on the problem and released the solution passing by the furious comments coming from different posts.
A Bios update became available and also the instructions for resolving the issue.
Though, some owners of these models tried to fix this by themselves by replacing the Wi-Fi cards, and surprise!
It still didn't work.
Things didn't change with those that got that Bios update.
Until now, the two solutions that really worked were to replace the motherboard or to buy a new and different notebook.
Comments are closed.

Elmore County ranks 10th, and Autauga County ranks 13th overall. Shelby County is the top-ranked county in Alabama.
The report was released today by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
Noticeably worse in Montgomery is the percentage of low weight births, a trend seen both statewide and nationally. Babies born at low birth weights often have physical and developmental challenges that can impact later success in school and life, according to the report.
Montgomery County data shows a slight increase in the graduation rate from 2008 to 2009.
According to the previous report's data, the county graduated 46.3 percent of high school students in 2009, compared to 2008's 45.2 percent.
The number of children receiving child care subsidies in 2010 was 2,343 compared to last year's 2,618.
Autauga County
Autauga County ranked 13th overall and is among the best five counties in the percent of children living in poverty, falling seven percentage points below the state average.
The county's graduation rate of 63.9 percent is slightly above the state average of 61.7 percent. But the number is lower than 2008's 67.5. The report says the high percentage of young people not finishing high school will have lower lifetime incomes.
Elmore County
Elmore County ranked 10th overall with data showing a better ranking in child poverty rates compared to other counties in the state. The county rate is 15.2 percent, falling nearly seven percentage points below the state average of 22.1 percent, and lower than 2007's 16.2 percent.

about a week ago Kolifleur and I met up to shoot her summer 2016 collection
she introduced me to our photographer of the shoot; Sven Signe den Hartogh
I was really nervous for this shoot, because i always get kinda awkward when someone i've never met takes my photo's.
But it turned out fantastic;
the surroundings were so beautiful, and breathing in the fresh air,
hearing the birds sing in the trees really made me happy.
we had a picknick in the woods, a swim in a lake, and really great conversations.
all in all, it was a wonderful experience and my favourite shoot so far (:
i'll be posting more soon!

GREENWICH TWP. — The Cumberland County Health Department was notified of its first positive rabies case of the year on Jan. 25.
The Health Department reported that a wild raccoon displaying no fear attempted to attack a Greenwich-area resident and his dog as they returned home from a walk. Neither the resident nor his dog was bitten by the raccoon, which was captured and euthanized to prevent further exposure.
The rabid raccoon had been seen fighting with another raccoon and smelled of skunk, leading officials to suspect the potential of additional infected animals in the area. The Cumberland County Health Department encourages residents to be aware of unusual animals outdoors, especially while with pets.
Signs of the rabies virus in animals include exhibiting aggressive or unusually friendly behavior, foaming at the mouth, drooling saliva or having an unstable or wobbly walk. The virus can be fatal in humans and animals if untreated.
Pet owners can protect their pets through vaccination.
"We encourage pet owners to keep rabies vaccinations up-to-date by attending one of the Cumberland County Health Department free rabies clinics," said George Sartorio, Health Officer for the department.
These clinics will be held throughout the county on Saturdays from Feb. 26 through April 2. A full schedule of the rabies clinics is available online at www.cshealth.org.
When attending a free rabies clinic, residents are asked to bring cats in a carrying case, pillowcase or box with ventilation, and dogs in a cage or on a leash. Pet owners should also bring any available proof of prior rabies vaccine.
For more information about the rabies virus or rabies clinics, contact the Cumberland County Health Department at (856) 327-7602, extension 1139.

Southern Adventist University excavated Area D, where Hellenistic fills and floors associated with a large wall produced various finds, including bronze and silver coins from the period. For the first time a silver tetradrachm of Alexander the Great was found by the excavation team, providing an absolute date for the Hellenistic floor. Below this floor, inside the casemate walls, earlier Iron age IIA floors, from the time of David, were discovered. On the surface were almost-complete restorable vessels, including a lamp, chalice, and large storage jars with thumbprint impressions. This was the first time that restorable vessels were found inside the casemate rooms. The bottom course of the casemate walls rested on bedrock, indicating without a doubt that the massive wall system associated with the western gate does in fact date to the early 10th century B.C, despite recent opposing suggestions by some scholars.
The Hebrew University team excavated Qeiyafa's second gate in Area C. The eastern portion of the gate was well preserved, together with several casemate rooms. It has been suggested by director Dr. Yosef Garfinkel that this second gate may be evidence for the identification of the site with biblical Sha'arayim (1 Sam. 17:52), Hebrew for "two gates." If this conclusion is correct, Khirbet Qeiyafa was a major fortified garrison built during the time of Saul or David adjacent to the valley of Elah, where the Bible places the famous battle between David and Goliath. There is no question that the massive fortifications of this city required centralized organization and supervision. This represents a major argument against the objection by some scholars that David's kingdom was nothing more than a minor regional chiefdom. Moreover, the discovery of the earliest Hebrew inscription and its location in this border area confirms that literacy extended to the outskirts of Judah.
In the summer of 2010 the joint excavation team will work in two different areas of the site: The Institute of Archaeology, Hebrew University of Jerusalem team will excavate the casemate walls and houses in Area C. A full team of about 60 staff, students, and volunteers will be excavating Area D on behalf of the Institute of Archaeology, Southern Adventist University. Southern's goals for this season will be: (1) to expand the area excavated in 2009 to 8-12 squares in order to discover the nature of the architecture in Area D; (2) perfect the use of new GPS/GIS equipment and software for 3-D reconstruction and production of architectural plans; and (3) to train archaeology students and volunteers in field work.
All 6 weeks: $5,095 June 16-July 27, 2010 – Excavations and all tours; 6 hrs credit
First 3 weeks: $3,770 June 16-July 8, 2010 – Excavations and tour to Galilee and two weekends inJerusalem; 3 hrs credit
Second 3 weeks: $3,770 July 6-27, 2010 – Excavations and tour to Eilat/Petra and two weekends inJerusalem; 3 hrs credit
On the weekends, 6-week participants will travel through Israel and Jordan, visiting some of the most well-known sites like Jerusalem, Masada, Hazor, the Golan Heights, Caesarea Philippi, the Sea of Galilee, Petra, and the Red Sea. If you are interested in learning more about participating, feel free to contact us.
