E Frontier Acquires Curious LabsCurious Labs to help Shade 3D suite enter U.S. market
Curious Labs says management teams at both companies have approved the acquisition and that the two companies will continue to operate as separate entities, with E Frontier operating as the parent company of Curious Labs in the United States. Curious Labs will be run by Marc Keohane, the current CEO of Curious Labs.
Curious Labs, at press time, had not responded to a request for plans for their software in light of the merger. However, in a prepared joint statement, the companies said, "With the two business units in place, E Frontier will focus on the continued development of the Shade product line and in expanding the Asian market for Poser. Curious Labs will focus on the continued development of the Poser product line and bringing the E Frontier product Shade to market in the U.S. and European region."
"This merge of professional 3D tools will bring together one company focused on further development of Shade and Poser which will most certainly give significant advantages," said Hiroshi Sato of E Frontier in the prepared statement. "As we focus Shade for the U.S. and European markets and with the continued development on Poser with focus on increasing Poser's content variety for support for the Asian market, our work together will deliver what matters most to the 3D artist."
Curious Labs makes Poser, a 3D character animation tool, which is currently in version 5 for Mac OS X and Windows. Curious Labs was cofounded by some of the original developers of Poser from Fractal Design and MetaCreations. When MetaCreations killed off its software division to focus on Web technologies back in 2000, Poser went on the auction block (along with Painter, Carrara, Canoma, Bryce and a host of other titles). It was snatched up by the team that originally created the software and others involved with its development and marketing. Thus Curious Labs was born. Since that time, Curious Labs has released several versions of Poser for both Macintosh and Windows, including updates to the base Poser application, the introduction of the Poser Pro Pack and, most recently, the launch of Poser 5. The first version for Mac OS X was launched in August. The company has also worked to bring integration between Poser and various other 3D applications, including, most recently, E-on Software's Vue d'Esprit.
E Frontier makes (among other things) Shade, which is a line of 3D modeling, animation and rendering applications available in several different versions (iShade 6, My Shade 6, Shade 6 Advance, Shade 6 Spirit and Shade 6 Pro). All of these are currently sold only in Japan, but the product line will be extended into other markets, including the United States, with the release of the Shade 7 line. Shade is available for both Macintosh and Windows systems as well.
We'll bring you more details as they become available. For more information, visit http://www.curiouslabs.com or http://shade.e-frontier.co.jp/en/shade/index.html.

Plenty has been discussed about the U.S. Men's National Team's difficult draw for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but did they really come off worst out of all 32 nations heading to Brazil?
British newspaper The Guardian's did its best to answer that question, and evaluated each nation's strength of schedule, strength of group, and the strength of each individual group stage match.
The results, which use FIFA's November world rankings points total for each team, aren't very positive for the USMNT, but they fared better than some other nations bound for Brazil.
The Guardian's findings show that the U.S. ended up with the third-worst draw, behind Ghana and Australia. Australia has to contend with powerhouses Spain, the Netherlands, and Chile. The findings also state that Group G is in fact the strongest group in the World Cup and that two of the USMNT's group stage games (against Germany and Portugal) are among the seven strongest matches.
At the other end of the spectrum, statistics showed that Argentina received the easiest draw, followed by Belgium, which is in the weakest group, and Switzerland. And while Spain's opening match against the Netherlands is rated as the strongest in the group stage, Iran vs. Nigeria and South Korea vs. Algeria are considered the two weakest.
Go check out the interactive piece from The Guardian and come back here and share your thoughts in the comments section below.
We are in the most difficult group. However, this is actually a good thing.
Australia got the worst draw but we are in the hardest overall group.
That is true about Australia. We are in a "Group of Death" because all of the teams involved are all strong teams, with an edge given to the Germans and Portuguese because of their higher FIFA ranking, players, and the overall history of their programs.
Perhaps but how conditions could effect the European teams could play as a factor. You can't have a slow start in this group and there's zero room for mistakes, even for a team like Germany.
Most European teams, if not all, are not used to playing in the hot and humid tropical weather that is the case Brazil. Still, I do believe overall team strength is more important. All four teams have a legitimate chance of advancing. Germany, on paper, has the best squad from their usual starting eleven to their backup players. Portugal, is a dangerous team with Ronaldo, without him they are an average team at best but could still challenge. Ghana is a athletically gifted squad but they can be neutralized if we can possess the ball well. I would like for the U.S. to win every game but realistically we can beat Portugal and Ghana. The Germany game could be anyone's guess.
Brazil is a big place and it will be winter…
Winter? Well, all the other points hold serve.
Our games are so close to the equator that "winter" has absolutely no meaning. It is going to be hot and humid as can be and that is a good thing because our guys have experience playing in those conditions.
Germany plays in Salvador, Fortaleza, Recife. No winter there.
Portugal plays in Salvador, Manaus, Brasilia. Only Brasilia has a reasonable winter climate, albeit very dry.
Ghana plays in Natal, Fortaleza, and Brasilia. See Portugal.
No one in Group G is playing in Curitiba or Porto Alegre, all will need to adapt to heat and humidity.
Louis Z
True but we will be playing at the north end of the country which is getting close to the Equatorial line, so don't expect any snow or cold 😀
Winter in Manaus – 85F 85% humidity
Nice catch.
I live in Brasil as reference, it is winter in the south, but in the north where we are playing all our games there isn't really winter, it's pretty close to the equator all things considered for all of our games. It will be hot average high temps in Manaus in June are around 90.
You clearly don't know Brazil if you think that winter is going to make Brazil cold. Maybe if we were playing in Curitiba…yes, but we will be playing in the very north of the country where it's always "one degree less hot than Dante's Inferno", but with slightly more humidity. 😦
Remember, we are talking about the Amazon rainforest people. HOT.
The team in the group that it won't be a problem for is Ghana. They play in these conditions all the time.
Germany is going to suffer the most and since we play them last there is a snowball's chance in Manaus that we could actually win if they have already qualified and are resting players.
The good thing is that the U.S.has a late evening game against Ghana, I believe, and the City of Natal is nothing compared to the heat of Manaus; Both Portugal in Manaus and Germany in Recife will be played in the afternoon in the scorching heat and humidity. This should help the U.S. in the 15 minutes of the game or maybe even sooner. It will be very interesting how Portugal and Germany deal with this type of heat.
Thank god we have faired so well playing in these conditions in the past (ie: our qualifiers this time around). Oh wait…. Cue doom and gloom again.
Good Jeremy
Playing in Manaus in front of a largely American crowd will be significantly different than flying all our guys in from Europe to play a hostile crowd on a field full of divots in Costa Rica. That doesn't guarantee a win by any means, but we will be much more used to these conditions than Germany and Portugal.
With a headline like this, I fully expected the article to say that Group G is NOT the group of death. Alas, I just wasted 5 minutes of my time relearning that yes, the USA is in the group of death.
A few tidbits:
– "Despite being widely recognized as the "group of death," Group B has lower average ranking points than Group G." Always thought G was widely recognized.
– G has the entire group in the top 9 of strength of schedule
– G has 4 of the top 10 toughest matches
– We didn't learn anything.
a Group of Death is a group where there are 3 or 4 teams that are equally strong with no clear favorite to be at the top, group G isn't a GOD simply because Portugal and Germany are vastly superior to Ghana and the US.
Germany, yes.
Portugal, no.
It is really easy to envision a scenario where GHA or USA go through instead of Portugal. Heck… If GER has a stinker of a match, they could be needing points on the final match day to go through. Hope not though…
it's only easy if you are a deluded fan, in the real world Portugal is the favorite to get the second place
Portugal is the favorite but to call them vastly superior is just not true at all.
From 2004 onward, Portugal has made the knockout round in every tournament they have been in. They are due for a bad tournament. Every team has a stinker now and then (well, except maybe Germany and Brazil who always make it deep into the tourney).
Given that the tournament is outside Europe and under hot weather conditions, I don't think it is absurd to think that Portugal could have a slipup and go out in the group stage.
How is this rational and not hopeful???
Scratch that we will take all the fortuitous bounces we can get!! Hahah
I hope people continue to sleep on the US' chances, it only adds fuel to the fire! I never understood how folks make these silly predictions about outcomes in the sport of soccer, where anything can happen and in a tourney like the WC where teams play tighter! If history means anything the US should do well against the likes of Portugal and even Germany….Ghana, now that's my worry!!!
In the October rankings, the ones used for the world cup because of the skewed nature of the November rankings, Portugal was exactly one place behind the USA. To say that Portugal is miles ahead of the USA is not true and likely a sign of eurobias
Portugal is not "vastly superior" to the US or Ghana.
Wow – really? Thanks HoboMike – I found this informational and fun – Its nice to see something written about the groups from an outside source to see how they judge the groups as well.
Even though I knew – say that the Netherlands/Spain game would be the toughest of all group games – its nice to see the logic behind why it is and what it compares to.
To the SBI staff – thanks for the article – it was a much enjoyed view into the groups.
Tony in Quakeland
And you wasted a further five minutes telling us you wasted five minutes?
switch Portugal and Bosnia or USA and Iran and both group G and F look more reasonable..
instead of the ping pong ball lottery they should allow the Federations to draw themselves.. kind like a draft. Pot by Pot the team pick which group they would like to play in based on opponents and venues.. just an idea..
Really? Ghana has more to fear from the USA than vice versa?
Well, based on their relative rankings. Because the USA is ranked higher than Ghana, Ghana's schedule looks more difficult.
Well, based on FIFA ratings we are #14 and Ghana is #24. The article IS based on those ratings. If you look at the players for the two teams this gets much more complicated. In reality it will simply come down to who has a good day on June 16! Klinsi better have us ready. Let's hope there are no significant injuries, especially at the last minute to throw off our plans.
Groups B, D, and G all fit the bill for what qualifies as a typical "Group of Death" in my book. I don't know why we can't just say we have multiple Groups of Death since that's pretty much what we have and honestly most people knew that could happen going in. All three groups are going to be crazy.
Groups B and D are your more typical Groups of Death (3 powers fighting for 2 spots plus a relative minnow that could play spoiler) but I can't remember a group in any tournament that has the depth 1-4 that G has. You have one of the top 3 teams in the world, a traditionally strong European team that would shock no one if they made a deep run in any tournament and just happens to have one of the best 2 players in the world, a very strong African team, and the current North American champions. People might like to scoff at the US and Ghana but I don't think there's a team in the world that would want to play either of them over Australia or Costa Rica. People seem to keep forgetting that all four teams in G advanced out of the group stage in 2010 and while I can't speak for Ghana I'll guarantee you the 2014 USA team is deeper and better than the 2010 team. (And yes I know there's no way to prove that, but c'mon…)
You don't have to go too far back to find a group that was at least as strong as group G. In Euro 2010, group C had Germany, Portugal, Netherlands and Denmark. Both groups have Germany and Portugal. Netherlands is much stronger team than either US or Ghana, and Denmark is roughly comparable to Ghana (they are next to each other in FIFA rankings). My ultimate group of death is the three team group at WC1982, which had only one team advancing. The group included the defending champion Argentina (with young Maradona), Brazil (Zico, Socrates, Falcao, etc) which was perhaps the most talented team in the tournament, and the eventual WC82 winner Italy (with Rossi, Zoff, Gentile, etc).
Depending on if other nations see the United States and Portugal as strong teams, then Group G can be considered a Group of Death. The other groups B and D have 3 strong teams plus countries they consider to be minnows (Australia and Costa Rica). Though we know that the Costa Ricans shouldn't taken lightly. But, in our group we have Ghana, which is not a elite team per se, but I would consider them to be tough and the strongest Africa can offer. I'd say that there are 3 groups of death, with ours being the most balanced. I see the group D teams capable of reaching the semis but not reach the final. Group B has both 2010 wc finalists and Chile, a side that even Del Bosque of Spain said that he did not want to face.
Top to bottom, group G is the toughest. Germany are a tournament favorite and arguably the best team in Europe. The USA is the best team in CONCACAF and Ghana is the best team from Africa. Portugal,…on top of being a strong team has,…arguably,…the best player in the world.
Based on the way the pots were constructed,….this is pretty close to being the complete nightmare scenario.
Errgh! Another in-depth look at the World Cup based on universally-ridiculed FIFA rankings. Analysis can only be as good as the data its based on, which in this case is nearly worthless. Could we have an in-depth interactive analysis based on the predictions of a German octopus please?
If that weren't already bad enough, the other serious flaw in this kind of analysis is that it ignores the actual schedule of the matches and other compounding factors (e.g., travel time, crowd support, etc.). The later is more difficult to quantify, but the former is not: how badly does team A have to win their 3rd match versus team B? Will team C play for a draw against team D in their first match, or go for the win?
"how badly does team A have to win their 3rd match versus team B? Will team C play for a draw against team D in their first match, or go for the win?"
Obviously, you can't analyze that first question until after the games start. And the second one is hard to analyze this far ahead since injuries will very likely affect all the teams and that will affect their philosophy.
As for which group is tougher, it's irrelevant. The US is stuck with it. As best as I can tell this USMNT edition is not that good at being conservative, going for the draw. Of course they were set up conservatively against Italy with D. Williams in midfield to prevent the Italians from overrunning the midfield as they like to do and it worked but this US team generally is best being aggressive. However if conditions are hot and humid they can't be going for it all the time as they would like.
It will be interesting.

Much of this is based on the reputation and perception, not teams' actual strengths. For example, Russia finished ahead of Portugal in their qualifying group, yet Portugal is referred to as a heavyweight, one of the tougher matchups, while Russia is dismissed as one of the weaker European sides.

They had been standing on the platform at Harlow Mill in Essex when they started to argue.
Witnesses said the woman got on to the track during the blazing row and the man followed, pleading with her to get to safety. They died instantly at about 8am. The train passing through Harlow Mill in Essex struck them as the driver desperately slammed on the brakes.
This afternoon a tarpaulin covered the spot where the couple were hit and where one of the bodies was left. Another tarpaulin was laid over the other body which was carried along the track after the impact.
Police are examining film taken from a camera at the front of the packed commuter train to try to discover why they came to be on the track.
Detective Chief Inspector David Shepperlee said the CCTV showed the pair "pulling at each other and tussling" as the train struck.
He said: "It's not clear at the moment who was pulling who and for what reason. It may be that the man was trying to pull the woman out of the path of the train but at this stage in the investigation we are not quite sure."
Mr Shepperlee confirmed that a witness heard "raised voices". He said: "There's been a suggestion by someone working locally that there may have been some sort of raised voices - that is the way it was described."
He said there had been three suicides at the station in three months, adding: "This is something we will be informing the coroner about." Mr Shepperlee said: "The driver is in shock, he is traumatisedand being well cared for by his employers." Naveed Riaz, a 29-year-old software tester from Bishop's Stortford was in the first carriage.
He said: "The alarm suddenly went off for at least five seconds as the train started to slow down. The carriage was shuddering and you could feel the vibrations under your feet. I thought we were going over some debris or rocks."
Mr Riaz said he saw the driver step down onto the track. "His face was blank, he looked like he was in shock. He went round to the front of the train and then came back looking really upset and chain-smoking."
A police spokesman said: "We would urge anyone on the platform at the time to contact us on 0800 405040."
The bodies were removed from the track at 2pm. Officers believe they know their identities. It is understood they were a local couple.
More than 500 commuters were on the eight-carriage 6.18 from King's Lynn to Liverpool Street. They were stuck on the train until police allowed the train to be moved shortly after 11.40am.
They were then taken to Harlow Town station to continue their journey to London - though many decided to return home. Commuters faced disruption as services between Cambridge and Liverpool Street, via Harlow Mill, were disrupted with alterations, cancellations and delays. Train services were halted in both directions with buses ferrying passengers between Bishop's Stortford and Broxbourne.
The line between Bishop's Stortford and Broxbourne did not reopen until 3.40pm - meaning major disruption for tens of thousands of Liverpool Street commuters trying to get home.
Passenger Yvonne Hall condemned National Express for not doing enough to help stranded passengers. She said: "I felt a bump as we came through Harlow Mill and knew we had hit something. I feel desperately sorry for the driver who was very good in stopping so quickly. But then we were left stranded on the train for nearly four hours. We were only given little scraps of information and no water or refreshments of any kind."Reuse content

Namibian-Montana Tourism Exchange Sept. 6-16
Billings, MT, Aug. 7, 2012 – A representative of the Wuparo Conservancy in Namibia while visiting in Montana this September will give his blessing to a shipping container of some 300 donated bikes that will travel from Billings to his homeland thanks to Wheels of Change, an international non-profit created by Austin-Lehman Adventures (ALA) dedicated to the simple belief that a bicycle can make a difference.
The conservancy guest will be among 14 delegates participating in a Sept. 6-16 cross-cultural "no borders" exchange between US-based land owners, Native American tribal leaders, government representatives and park conservationists and their counterparts from Namibia who are gathering here to share ideas on how tourism fits into their respective ideologies and onto their lands.
Award-winning tour operator Austin Lehman Adventure Travel, the active travel company setting adventure vacations standards in The Americas, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean, with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and others are organizing their itinerary. http://www.austinadventures.com/about-us/company/namibian-conservancy-tourism-exchange/
WOC partnering with Michael Linke of the Bicycle Empowerment Network Namibia will use the bicycles to create a Bicycle Empowerment Center at the Wuparo Conservancy in the Caprivi region of Namibia. It is a coordinated effort involving Austin-Lehman Adventures, World Wildlife Fund, Catholic Services and Wheels of Change http://www.wocinternational.org/.
An award-winning safari camp in Namibia, Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge http://nkasalupalalodge.com/, expects to establish a village bike tour using some of the donated bikes. The tour will augment ALA's safari programming on the wetland paradise known as Mamili or Nkasa Lupala National Park created by the many channels of the Kwando-Linyanti river system. The lodge and the Wuparo Conservancy are part of the successful and award winning Namibian conservancy program that won the 2011 Hospitality Association of Namibia Conservancy Tourism Award.
Wheels of Change, through the donation of new and used bikes, helps the people of Africa gain access to mobility and thus, a better life for all in their communities. As an organization, WOC wants to help form the foundation for positive economic and social change in Africa, driven by the simple belief that a bicycle can make a difference.
Bicycle Empowerment Network http://www.benbikes.org.za/namibia/ has grown since 2006 to more than 28 shops where Namibians can buy or rent affordable bikes and receive repairs thanks to Namibia's Bicycle Empowerment Centre.
A Bicycle Empowerment Center is achieved after up to 400 bicycles along with tools and spare parts are loaded into one shipping container that itself becomes a village operated bike shop providing a source of employment and revenue. A center provides refurbished bicycles free of charge to, among others, healthcare outreach volunteers and school children. Income from bike-related activities goes to assisting a sustainable business model while creating local jobs. Profits are reinvested in other community projects such as growing food for AIDS orphans, making micro loans to foster small enterprises, purchasing school uniforms, and paying school fees for disadvantaged children.
On the September Namibia/Montana tourism exchange delegates will meet with property owners, managers and government officials to explore how they manage wide open spaces and incorporate sustainable adventure tourism activities such as biking, rafting, wildlife viewing and horseback riding. In turn, the international guests will discuss how their land conservancy model works in Namibia and how it might work on reservations, public and private lands. The 10-day tour will wrap up in Bozeman with an American football game as guests of Montana State University. See: www.austinlehman.com/namfam.
The delegation of 14 Namibian tourism industry representatives, including four conservancy representatives (some of whom are members of the Himba and Herrera tribes), will experience a tour of southeastern Montana and Yellowstone National Park.
Participants include ALA, Conservancy Development Support Services (CDSS), Namibian Association of Community Based Natural Resource Management Support Organizations (NACSO), including members of the Himba and Herrera tribes, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and award-winning safari operator Wilderness Safaris.
The foreign visitors will learn about adventure tourism, inclusive of such issues as client safety, security and liability, and sustainability as practiced by ALA, an established adventure tour operator conducting business worldwide. Along the way they will be exposed to the guiding practices and interpretation techniques that comprise a significant part of the visitor experience while on an adventure travel tour.
In Yellowstone National Park they will meet with park officials as well as representatives of Xanterra Corporation, the largest US National Park concessionaire, about how they manage their environmental footprint, including management of such issues as clean water, sewage, solid waste, energy and wildlife.
Cross-cultural exchanges between the Namibians and Native American tribal leaders from southeast Montana will delve into how to establish and operate indigenous tourism experiences, while Montana state officials will discuss how to establish and manage a dedicated fund to support small and medium tourism enterprises.
Because of the sheer volume of Namibia's tourism joint ventures, Dan Austin, ALA's founder and owner, says Namibia offers a true education into how private and public sectors collaborate with host communities. All the joint ventures in the communal conservancies combined represent 1,356 bed nights, over 900-plus full-time jobs and over 250 seasonal positions.
"In the process, not only are communities benefitting in ways previously unimaginable, but the national tourism product is being redefined in more equitable and sustainable ways," notes Austin, pointing out that nearly half of the country's 76 registered conservancies are adjacent to national parks or in key corridors between protected areas. Wildlife-friendly land uses adjacent to and between parks are enhancing the viability of Namibia's protected area network. The recovery of prey species, combined with an increased tolerance of community, is facilitating the recovery of high-level predators on a landscape level in north-western Namibia.
Namibia is the only country in Africa where black rhinos are successfully being translocated out of a national park and into communal conservancy land areas, in stark and dramatic contrast to the poaching taking place in many countries in the region. Its free-roaming lion population is expanding thanks to a dramatic decrease in poaching.
As this country repeatedly undertakes the largest road-based wildlife count in
the world, its conservation success stories stand out in sharp contrast to most African countries where wildlife populations and habitats are rapidly declining.
"Namibia very well may be one of the greatest African wildlife recovery stories to be told," believes Austin whose company has run multi-sport vacation opportunities here since 2008.

England midfielder James Milner has declared it is business as usual as the team try to put the debate over John Terry's reinstatement as captain behind them.
Terry has taken over the captain's armband again from the injured Rio Ferdinand, the Chelsea defender having lost the job last year following newspaper reports about his private life.
But since coach Fabio Capello announced the reinstatement of Terry the debate has taken the focus away from England's European Championship qualifier against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.
"(It's) just business as usual, the manager's made the decision," said Milner.
"Everyone's happy for JT. It's obviously disappointing for Rio.
"We're fortunate to have a number of leaders in this squad."
Milner said Terry's attitude on the pitch made him a natural as England captain.
"He puts his head in where a lot of people wouldn't. He leads off the field as well.
"The manager makes his decision and we stand behind them. JT is a leader, he might not have been captain over the last year but he's not changed the way he has been.
"The most important thing is leading on and off the field and as an England player he's been absolutely fantastic."
Tottenham striker Peter Crouch admitted the focus had been on Terry returning as captain.
"There was a lot of talk about it. There are no problems with anyone," he said.

|Re: Web Console dependency viewer
|Thu, 22 Mar 2007 13:16:23 GMT
Hello Joe Thanks for comments, 1. Someone need to look into safari problem because I don't have a required resource to check the problem 2. About recursive dependencies, have a dependencies node as childnode makes the tree huge, thats the reason I didn't implement initially. Instead what I did is when you click on particular dependency, the node corresponding to it is also selected which makes it easier to find. One can scroll and see the auto selected node and keep expanding it. This was the solution I can came up with when I was not using links, now that I have links implemented in other views, if you think having recursive nodes is more helpful, I can implement it. If you think recursive will be better than highlighted and selected approach, please go ahead and open a JIRA for this and I will make the required changes. Please note using links may make the tree slow (but it will be better than using plain recursive tree, plain recursive tree is a killer, i know becoz I tied it).

Re: Your list of good games out this year?
This year The Last of Us and Beyond 2 Souls and my 2 most wanted games.
Will probably pick up GTA5 at some point and Watching Dogs only whenever i decide to buy a PS4.
Re: Your list of good games out this year?
Other than The Last of Us:
- Watch Dogs
- Battlefield 4
Good lord I really want Watch Dogs. Definately my most anticipated game past TLoU, and the one I look most forward to seeing at E3. Hopefully it holds up ok on PS3, because I doubt I'll have the money to throw down on a PS4 (desperate college student here). If this game has the ability to replay story missions/chapters (a huge factor in replayability for me), it has potential to be my favorite game of all time... yes, even with the small amount of it that has been shown. It looks phenomenal.
GTA 5 because, well, I love GTA games for their unmatched "fun random sh!t to do" factor. And planes. They brought planes back.
Battlefield 4 at the moment is just a maybe; I'll have to see what they do different in multiplayer. I really do love the Battlefield franchise though, so I hope this one isn't just a rushed out. I also hope they put more effort into a more "open" campaign. Battlefield 3 was cool the first time, kind of, but it wasn't very fun to play through more than once. I'm hoping for more stealth opportunities and more dynamic AI.
Re: Your list of good games out this year?[ Edited ]
Re: Your list of good games out this year?
The Last of Us
Watch Dogs
Beyond: Two Souls
Assassin's Creed Black Flag
Not sure if these will be in 2013, but I,m looking forward to Destiny and Diablo III as well

7) - Batman Arkham Orgins
^ Those games are the reason why I'm waiting until next year to get the PS4.
What did you think of Tomb Raider? I thought it was too short, and didn't have enough exploration.

Women Started Smaller Percentage of U.S. Businesses in 2014
Joyce Park stashed this in Tech biz
Stashed in: Founders, Women, Awesome
"The average number of businesses started by U.S. women ages 20 to 34 fell nearly 27% since 1996"... basically the ENTIRE web era.
Also according to the Kauffman data:
Startup activity by men under age 35 fell just 3% during this same period.
Among those ages 35 to 44, startup activity fell 20% for women since 1996, while it rose 16% for men in that age group.
Another important factor: access to capital.
Companies with a female chief executive received just 3% of total venture-capital investments, and just 9% of seed funding between 2011 and 2013, according to a 2014 Diana Project study by Babson College, a private business school in Wellesley, Mass.
"Women have to work harder to convince others that they have what it takes to be successful," says Sarah Thébaud, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
In a set of three experimental studies from 2008 to 2010, male and female university students in the U.S. and the U.K. reviewed and rated the same written business ideas presented by "male" and "female" entrepreneurs.
The students rated the female entrepreneurs as less competent and their ideas as less investment-worthy, according to the studies.
Overall, women in the U.S. are now nearly as likely as men to spot business opportunities...
...according to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, an annual survey measuring the entrepreneurial activity and attitudes of people in the U.S. and around the world. The 2014 U.S. GEM survey, by Babson College, included 3,272 men and women, ages 18 to 74.
Roughly 34% of U.S. women who saw opportunities to start a new business said that fear of failure would keep them from doing so, compared with 25.6% of men.
In addition, 45.9% of U.S. women said they had the capabilities to be an entrepreneur, compared with 61% of men.
"As an educational institution, we try to debunk" the myth that women—or men—must be heroic risk takers in order to be entrepreneurs, says Candida Brush, a Babson professor of entrepreneurship. "Starting a business often is a team-based process," she adds. "You're not taking a wild risk. You are taking a calculated risk."

Ferris Wheel, HoneyMature
"What was that for?" he whispered, once I managed to pull back.
I shrugged. He smiled, waving bye, and walked into the darkness of the streets. I slowly opened and closed the door. The house was dark, the only light coming from a small night lamp in the dar corner. I walked upstairs, praying to God that the wooden stairs wouldn't creak. I made it upstairs. And I scurried to my room like a mouse. I slipped out of my clothes, finding a big shirt laying on the floor and slipped it on. I slid into the covers, letting drowsiness, a massive hangover, and that kiss "lull" me to sleep.
I didn't realize how sensitive my eyes were. As soon as sunlight hit me, I struggled to keep my eyes closed. My mother had opened the curtains and pulled the cover off my head.
"Good morning, sweetheart," she said smiling, "it's almost 2 in the afternoon!"
"What?" I mumbled.
"2 in the afternoon! What time did you get back last night?"
"I don't know."
"Was it fun?"
"Mom, look, I can't answer these questions right now. Can I go back to sleep?"
"No. I don't want you waking up at dinner time. Go wash your face and brush your teeth. It's lunchtime... but you could eat breakfast now."
I groaned. I sat up, rather too quickly. My head was pounding. You could probably see the tiny veins beating furiously against my skin. I pressed my eye, wanting the pain to stop. My mom had left, after merely patting my head. I slipped into some leggings, and walked into the bathroom. I looked like a mess. Dark circles rimmed my eyes. My face looked thin and fragile, along with my sickly pale skin. Gross. I'm no fucking vampire.
I walked downstairs, finding no one but my mom.
"Where's Logan and John?"
'They went to the new store. You can go check it out after you're done eating."
She slid some toast onto my plate, along with some orange juice. I ate, brushed my hair, and slid into a bright blue romper and walked to "Johnny's" right there on the boardwalk.
"Oh, look who's awake," Logan said once I walked in.
I rolled my eyes. I looked around, seeing everything from ties to snowglobes. There were mugs, candy, t-shirts, movies, stuffed animals, soda, etc.
"Ok," John said, "each one of you will have shifts. Who'll take the first shift starting tomorrow?"
Logan looked at me. John looked at me.
"What the hell? I'm not working here."
"Why not? You'll meet some friends, honey."
"It's a convenience store... who the hell would work here? Put up a help wanted sign."
"I don't gotta pay you guys," he said smiling.
"God," I whispered, "I'll take the first shift 'cause that's how nice I am. Show me everything."
He walked around the store, showing me where things were. The camera room was in the back, and the cash register was on the left side. A lovely chair was there for me to sit on.
"Ok," I said, "I got it."
"Ok," John said, "good."
I nodded and walked out of the store. I bumped into Ness.
"Oh, hey," she said, watching as Logan and John walked out the store.
"Hey," I said, smiling.
"Last night," she whispered, "was fun. What happened with Derek?"
"I don't know," I said, shrugging.
"Whatever," she said, "let's go."
"On the Ferris Wheel, dumbass. He operates it there."
"Oh, really? Well, oh well, I gotta go."
"Where? You live right there and your brother and dad_"
"He's not my dad," I interrupted.
"Ok," she said, grinning, "anyway, they left."
"What? Don't wanna face Derika?"
"Derika? Wow."
"C'mon," she said, pulling me alongside with her.
We cut through the entire line, finding Derek. The whole line complained.
"Oh, calm down!" I shouted, "We're not going on it."
Derek turned around and smiled.
"He-llo," he said, allowing some people to pass.
He looked cute in that red polo. But, I ignored him. It was awkward.

The next U.S. president has a lot to talk about. Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a press conference on Jan. 11, the first after winning the 2016 election. Yet, after report claimed he hired prostitutes to perform 'golden showers,' what will flow out of Trump's mouth? Click to watch.
Normally, Donald Trump, 70, doesn't have a problem holding things back. In fact, the president-elect seems to let whatever's on his mind just gush out onto the Internet. However, the golden-tanned Trump has been unusually silent, having not spoken in front of journalists since defeating Hillary Clinton, 69, in the presidential election. On Jan. 11, Donald's set to give his first press conference since being crowned No. 1 by the American voters.
Yet, following a leak of a scandalous report — one with allegations of Russian hookers in search of a bathroom — Donald may get a bit shy. He's expected to speak at 11:00 AM ET so tune in to see what happens. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE DONALD TRUMP PRESS CONFERENCE.
Donald Trump Post-Election Protests — Pics
Donald is completely pissed off at BuzzFeed News. Multiple news outlets reported on Jan. 10 that there was a 35-page dossier full of claims that the Russian government had been "cultivating, supporting assisting" Donald for years. This dossier, compiled of memos of unverifiable allegations, had been circulating among politicians, intelligence officials and journalists for weeks. A two-page synopsis of report was presented to President Barack Obama, 55, and Donald Trump, summarizing the explosive details.
BuzzFeed News decided two-pages wasn't enough, and they published the entire 35-pages, allowing American voters to "make up their own minds" over the allegations. Included in this report are accusations that Donald allegedly hired Russian prostitutes to perform "golden showers" on the same bed in the that President Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, 52, slept in.
It should be no surprise that Donald quickly hit CAPS LOCK on his phone to denounce the report. "FAKE NEWS – A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!" he tweeted. He then linked to another outlet that pointed out that the BuzzFeed News report is "unverifiable." Funny, he seemed to be a big fan of "leaks" after WikiLeaks published the hacked DNC emails. Huh. Will Donald double down on this diss during this press conference? Will he even show up? There's only one way to find out – tune in to see!
What are you expecting Donald to speak about, HollywoodLifers? Will he spend all his time talking about this report? Or will he completely blow it off?

Vintage Scripty fontsSubmitted by Bart on 9 May 2013 - 12:04pm
Hi I am needing help identifying these fonts. Most importantly the top 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and the Script font is AWESOME!
Hi I am needing help identifying these fonts. Most importantly the top 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and the Script font is AWESOME!
I would like to know what specific typefaces were used on cigarette advertising posters back in the 1950's and 1960's.
I'm aware of particular styles from those decades but cannot pinpoint too many exact typefaces used.
My newest typeface, Transat, is now available on MyFonts and YouWorkForThem. For a limited time, you can get all 5 weights, plus optically corrected obliques, for $30.
Looking for this ID or something similar. Thanks.
Does anyone know which font this is? I've seen it many times before. The image is from the mid 70s.
Does a digital version exist? and does anyone have the original sheet?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Hello everyone. First time posting on this forum and was wondering if i could get some help. I tried doing a search but have had no luck in finding these fonts.

Sorry for the terrible pictures. It looks better zoomed out lol.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks :)

Does anyone know which font this is? Maybe you know any fonts that look smilar?
I created an account just so I could ask this question:
What is the font used in this Media Kit? Specifically, what is the font used for the fancy "Ands" and "Thes" with the flourishes above/below. Is this even a font?
Your help is appreciated!
Any help identifying this font (or a similar font!!!) would be much appreciated. I'm about to pull my hair out.
Hi! Would like to seek help in identifying the font in the attached image. The numbers are really cut in half as a design treatment, so that's all I can provide.
Appreciate your help! :) Thanks!
Having trouble identifying the typeface used on these old signs, and the dates that they were in use. I could dig up a few conflicting dates, between early 1900's and into the 40's, but haven't found anything definite. Also, they were apparently printed white on Navy, and used in several neighborhoods in New York. I checked a couple type specimen books from the 1905-1915 era and got nothing. Any help identifying this typeface would be greatly appreciated!
Any ideas what either of these could be, please? Especially the top one.
Hi all!
LOVE this poster, and have been wanting to ID the "yes" in old Open signs for awhile so I thought I'd throw this up and see if anyone can ID it. Thanks so much Typophilers!
Looking for some feedback on this logo I designed for a photo restoration business I am starting. I wanted something with a retro/vintage feel, without being too kitschy. I think I have succeeded at that here, but I am looking for some outside opinion. Thanks.
anyone know a typeface that would look like a paragraph blown up from a dictionary!?
want a letterpress/antique feel font with an italic and bold
the best i have found is Roman Antique but it doesnt have a Bold
thanks guys!
Please help me find out what both of these fonts are! I've searched thousands of fonts and cannot find them. Thank you!
I have a small graphic with an assortment of vintage typefaces right here:
Since they are so old I don't know if they are still in commercial print, but if anyone can tell me what they are (or were?) AND if there are any modern counterparts or look-alikes, that would be very helpful to me!
Does anybody know the name of the Serif font used for the company name and "Universal Embrocation"?
Also, if anybody can comfirm the sans serifs used too I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
This is an example of a movie-poster typeface drawn by German poster designer Hans Otto Wendt. I am looking for a font with a similar feel. What I particularly love is the brushstroke-look this has goin' on.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Is somebody can tell me what is the name of the font used for the text "Frosties" in this box?

The Man On the Bus
There was a man, on the bus,
Who looked quite normal,
Just your average Joe.
James, I decided to call him,
And James he was. He had a
Soft oval face, blue eyes concentrating
Hard on something. I looked at his
Hands, and saw the blurred outline
Of fingertips solving a Rubik's cube.
It was strangely mesmerizing, and
I decided that normal things can
Be just fine, too.

Conferences are great places to get up-to-date and generally build your knowledge, but how often has a conference been less than perfect because of the quality of some presentations? This is where the "predux" comes in. As Theba Islam explains, this allows speakers to test out their presentations, and receive constructive criticism, from a small group of their peers before an event.

The 8-0 ruling sets aside a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in favor of Jerome Alford. Two Washington State Patrol officers had arrested him for tape recording their conversation during a traffic stop in November 1997.
During the traffic stop, Alford told the officers he had case law showing the taping was legal, but police arrested him anyway partly for separate reasons, which they did not tell him, that he appeared to be impersonating a police officer.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the arrest was improper, ruling that the separate charges were not sufficiently "closely related" to the initial offense for which he was arrested. But in an opinion Monday by Justice Antonin Scalia, the Supreme Court disagreed.
Scalia reasoned that the Fourth Amendment holds an arrest to be lawful if it was "reasonable" given all the facts at the time. Thus, even though officers were wrong about the tape-recording charge, the suspicious circumstances in which he appeared to be impersonating an officer could justify the arrest, he said.
Scalia also noted that a ruling to the contrary would deter officers from providing reasons for their arrest, as they did in Alford's case, to avoid having their grounds challenged later if they were proved wrong. Under Washington state law, officers are not required to state the reasons for an arrest.
"A predictable consequence ... is not ... that officers will cease making sham arrests on the hope that such arrests will later be validated, but rather that officers will cease providing reasons for arrest," Scalia wrote.
Washington police said they became suspicious one night in 1997 after noticing Alford's car stopped behind a disabled vehicle on the highway. Alford said he was providing help and then hastily left, but officers tracked him down after they learned he had flashing headlights on his car as is typical of police vehicles.
After noticing that Alford was listening to a police band radio and had a scanner, the officers arrested him on privacy charges after discovering he was recording their conversation.
The privacy charge was later dismissed on grounds that conversations between police and highway motorists are not private.
Monday's ruling sends the case back to the 9th Circuit to determine whether police had probable cause to arrest Alford on charges of impersonating an officer.
Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who did not attend oral arguments for the November case, did not take part in the decision.
The case is Devenpeck v. Alford, 03-710.

Do you remember the feeling of the last day of school before summer vacation? It seemed that the sun was always shining brightly on that last day of school, setting the tone for the coming months of freedom.
Summer is a season filled with memories--family vacations, trips to visit family on the East Coast, camping, tootsie roll pops after swimming lessons, soccer camp, building forts at Davis Creek, summer camp at Hume Lake and Scholarship Camp near the Redwoods, Vacation Bible School...
I remember one summer that my mom put together a whole plan for our summer break. The first day of summer vacation she gave my sisters and I scrapbooks and little cameras to record all of our adventures for the summer. We each planted a flower box in the back yard, and I have a whole page full of photos charting the progress of my flower box throughout the summer. We spent a lot of time at Davis Creek, and I pressed some of the wild roses (I loved them because they were so fragrant) and put those into my book. Apparently my 10 year old self thought that pretty much everything that we did was "neat, and fun, too."
I just looked through my book and realized that was the summer that my mom was pregnant with my brother--how smart of her to keep us so occupied with so many projects all summer. I'm sure that summer wasn't very much fun for my mom, but she made it one with some of my fondest memories (none of which include welcoming my brother into our home...).
Anyway, I intended this to be a short post with a list of things that I would like to do over the course of this summer, and it turned into a nice little stroll down memory lane. So, here are some of the things we're going to do this summer:
- Go to a horse race at Del Mar
Take Chloe to the beach Hiking in Laguna Canyon
- Make homemade marshmallows (and graham crackers) for s'mores
Take a ballet class
- Take some golf lessons
- Venice Beach
Weekend in Palm Springs Go to a few baseball games(1)(2)
- Go to at least one concert in the park
Check out a new museum
- Take the train down to San Diego for a baseball game
- Picnic in the park
Go to the OC Fair
What are you going to be up to this summer?

Camarillo establishes moratorium on permits for wireless communication facilities
The Camarillo City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved an emergency ordinance establishing a moratorium on all new permits for wireless telecommunication facilities in the city.
"This ordinance is necessary because the city has received requests from telecommunications providers and we need to update our current codes to address these various issues," said City Attorney Brian Pierik.
The moratorium is for 45 days, but could be extended to two years if necessary.
Pierik said no existing facilities would be affected by the moratorium or changes in the ordinance.
The Camarillo Municipal Code addresses regulations and standards of rooftop and ground-mounted wireless facilities.
However, there are more issues that need to be addressed in terms of regulations of cellphone towers, development of additional regulations, and development and design standards, said Pierik.
Pierik said the city is authorized under federal and state law to "regulate the placement, appearance, construction and modification of wireless facilities."
"The city cannot impose regulations based on the radio-frequency issue which has been raised by some opponents of the cell towers under federal law regulations of the FCC," said Pierik.
"It's going to take us some time to do that analysis and study, so the moratorium would provide us with that additional time," said Pierik.
Several other cities, including Calabasas and Ojai, have adopted similar moratoriums to allow time to study the matter and determine what regulations are appropriate.
Pierik said the City of Industry has completed an ordinance regulating cell towers, and it encourages co-location of wireless facilities and their location in areas where the adverse aesthetic impacts are minimal.
Dave Norman, the city's community development director, said the city will proceed "expeditiously" on the code.
"However, council needs to be aware that Federal Communications Commission is in a current role-making phase and will probably be issuing new rules that would severely impact what we're doing in terms of a new ordinance. Those new rules will be coming in the fall," said Norman.
Councilman Bill Little said he would like to get the city's ordinance in place before the FCC does theirs so the city is protected.
Little did say that he didn't want to see the moratorium extend beyond 45 days because of the number of moratoriums in the city.
The city placed a moratorium in 2008 on medical marijuana dispensaries, but it ended when the city passed a ban on those dispensaries in 2010.
In March, the council extended a moratorium on porn film production in the city and is monitoring a court decision involving Los Angeles County on the issue.
On May 14, the council introduced an ordinance to amend the city's existing smoking ordinance to include e-cigarettes. At the same meeting, the council adopted an emergency ordinance to establish a temporary moratorium on e-cigarette businesses in the city to allow time to study the e-cigarette matter.
The council on Wednesday was supposed to consider a second reading on the e-cigarette ordinance, but Pierik said further information is being collected from the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Ventura County Public Health, and e-cigarette business owners on the matter.
Pierik said the e-cigarette issue will be brought back to the council at its meeting on June 11.
