Wisconsin priest, 92, punished for Mass with woman priest
By Mary Wisniewski
CHICAGO (Reuters) - A 92-year-old Wisconsin Jesuit has become the latest Catholic priest to be punished by church authorities for celebrating Mass with a woman priest in violation of church rules, a Jesuit spokesman said on Wednesday.
Father Bill Brennan, a Milwaukee-area peace activist who has done missionary work in Central America, celebrated Mass last month in Georgia with Janice Sevre-Duszynska of the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests.
Though Brennan remains a Jesuit and can still celebrate Mass and hear confessions with other Jesuits, he can no longer celebrate Mass or other sacraments publicly, according to Jeremy Langford, spokesman for the Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuits.
Women are forbidden by the church to become priests, but some have been ordained and celebrate Mass outside of the official church. Pope Benedict XVI reaffirmed the church's ban on women priests this year.
Catholic clergy who support the women can face sanctions. The Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith dismissed Roy Bourgeois, 74, from the priesthood in October, citing his participation in the 2008 "invalid" ordination of Sevre-Duszynska and in a "simulated Mass," according to the Catholic News Service.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Province of the Jesuits mutually agreed on the sanctions against Brennan, Langford said.
"The Province did not approve or sanction the event, and regrets Father Brennan's participation in it," the Province said in a statement.
Langford said that the Wisconsin Province had no plans to take any further action against Brennan, who is retired from active ministry and living in a Wisconsin retirement home and was not available for comment. Continued...

Dog Diet raw over vegan
I am tired of feeding my dog vegan food. My sister has been controlling us for a year time to stop it. Perhaps it will be a good idea to ask the vet first about though. However, gotta brace the extreme drama action my sister is going bring in. Also will get a German shepherd which she and the AR group will be in the way of.
Is Dante a German shepherd? You want two?
Canine's are not herbivores they are carnivores. If your sister can't stand to feed meat she needs to get a pet rabbit

I would really not be so in your face to feed raw in your home if everyone is a Vegan. How about a quality kibble? There are plenty out there.
I agree re kibble! I would go a step further and recommend that you use a fish-based kibble -- many vegan cat-owners I know have gone this route. They tell me that they find fish is the "least objectionable" option, and this choice respects the cat's essential dietary needs. They wish it weren't necessary, but since it is, they make the choice they find easiest to live with.
You can find some really outstanding fish-based kibbles (Fromm and Taste of the Wild are good exampels). Fish-based kibble has been the kibble of choice for many GSDs I've known--they tend to do very well on it (better than on chicken or lamb kibble).
Fish is lower on the food chain than beef or pork, and in some ways better for the environment than factory-farmed chicken. Whitefish, for example, tends to be a very common, inexpensive ocean fish--not farmed like salmon. While it won't eliminate the vegan concern, it's a fair compromise that respects concerns regarding poor treatment of cows, pigs, and chickens in factory farms.
Take a look at Fromm's Whitefish & Potato kibble. Or at a lower price point, Diamond Naturals Whitefish & Sweet Potato. Costco also sells a grainfree housebrand called Nature's Domain that's a fish-and-sweet-potato product made by Diamond (with ingredients similar to Diamond Naturals).
A decent fish-based kibble will be WAY better for the dogs than vegan food. Perhaps this route may be a respectful compromise allowing you to avoid some drama.
Taste of the Wild and Nutrisource also sell nice fish based / chicken free kibbles.
I would make any change very slowly as this dog is used to eating a vastly different diet.
Just curious, how healthy is he?
Imposing a human lifestyle/health choice regarding diet upon a dog which defies logic seems selfish and lacking in research. If I could find enough evidence to support a vegan diet as the best for my dog's health and well being .....I'd be feeding my dog a vegan diet.
I apologize if I sound rude but it just seems so unnatural to do this to a dog.
What about feeding humanely raised meat or finding a kibble with free range meats and wild caught fish?
Dog Diet raw over vegan
Vegan....NO NO NO!!!high protein, grain Free!! Animals are not people!! They were made to be meat eaters as far as between raw or dry kibble that is going to depend on your pocketbook and the amount of time. I would go with Fromm Tunalini

I can only image how bag a vegan diet would be for a dog. Their whole digestive system and teeth. Do you have any supporting information on such an extreme diet ?

I understand that the datasheet says not more than 1A per contact, but would this part not function properly (or melt) at 1.2 amps on one of the contacts? The rest of the contacts would be under 500mA.

"I removed the writing so my daughter could stick a photo of her much loved cat on her correspondence. They look beautiful."
"These labels are great to use instead of birthday cards. When our kids go to a party, we place this label on the gift and write in the birthday boy or girls name. The parents appreciate it because they don't have to deal with a card they're only going to throw away. And you will save a ton of money on birthday cards!"
"I love this gift tag. I use it on my baked goods that I give out but would be very cute for child OR adult birthday gift tag."
"While the sample makes this look like a label, I edited so there is a "to: " line and a from line (e.g. From: Matthew and Andrew). I love these as birthday present gift tags."
"I purchased these labels for packaging to use for my business. I loved the design so much I have since purchased the rest of the matching items to go along with my stickers. Beautiful work from Petite Alma!!"

Wichita police's stunning announcement last month that the unsolved 1986 slaying of a Wichita woman is linked to the BTK serial killer has opened the possibility that other cold cases may also be part of his string of murders.
Until three weeks ago, police didn't know who strangled Vicki Wegerle, who was found dead in her home at 2404 W. 13th on Sept. 16, 1986.
Based on a letter sent to The Wichita Eagle, police now think BTK killed her. The single sheet of paper contained a photocopy of Wegerle's driver's license and three pictures of her body, with her clothing arranged differently in each picture.
Wichita police won't comment on the BTK investigation, but officials have said it will include a review of all unsolved slayings of women since 1974. They won't identify specific cases they are looking at.
For Bernita Autry, the resurfacing of BTK reopens questionsabout the death of her best friend in 1974. Sherry Baker was 23 when she was gagged with a pair of panties, tied up with a telephone cord and stabbed more than 70 times.
No charges were filed, and police insist the case is not connected to any other Wichita homicides.
Autry has another theory.
"Her killer is probably BTK," she said. "I'm not crazy. I have a gut feeling. I had this feeling all these years."
Baker's death is one of 15 unsolved cases with one or more similarities to the BTK killings that The Eagle found in a search of past stories and other records from 1974 to the present.
Police say the killer — who took his name because he liked to bind, torture and kill his victims — claimed eight murders in the 1970s and 1980s.
They have received more than 1,000 leads on a BTK tip line in the past couple of weeks. And they have been collecting saliva samples from suspects in an effort to eliminate them through DNA testing.
When detectives investigate a "cold" homicide case, they re-examine the evidence and read all reports. Then they try to track down witnesses and re-interview them. A typical cold-case assignment might last two weeks — more if there are additional leads to be followed.
DNA testing can be done if a cold case has hair, blood or other evidence containing DNA. Fingerprints can be run through a national fingerprint database.
In some of the unsolved cases, police strongly suspected someone other than BTK but could never prove it. This was the situation in the Wegerle case. The letter from BTK has caused police to at least question those previous suspicions.
Wichita lawyer Bob Beattie, who is working on a book about BTK, said he's been taking a hard look at some unsolved homicides during his research.
He said he has questions about three cases in particular. Two victims — Baker and Linda Shawn Casey — were students at Wichita State University. Police said a copy of a BTK letter came from a copying machine at the university. And Tina Frederick 1999 murder occurred a few blocks from the home of Shirley Vian, one of the original BTK victims.
Beattie said it's also possible that BTK might have shot or stabbed someone to death in order to keep them from telling police something that might lead to his arrest.
He noted that BTK stabbed one of his victims — Kathryn Bright — when his plans to strangle her were interrupted by her brother. Beattie said there could be other cases where BTK's plans went awry and he was forced to kill with a knife or gun.
Retired Wichita police Lt. Mike McKenna, who oversaw homicide investigations during the mid-1980s, said detectives always had BTK on their minds.
"Any time you had a crime scene that looked like it had the markings of the known BTK murders, you couldn't discount the possibility," he said. "The BTK murders were something that you measured your homicides by."
McKenna said he doesn't recall any specific cases that had all the earmarks of a BTK killing. But he said he couldn't rule out the possibility that one may surface some day.
"With this latest revelation of his, I wouldn't say for certainty that there aren't any more bodies out there," he said.

Corruption (& perceptions thereof)
Since 2008, Pennsylvania has experienced a crime wave among its top public officials. Unprecedented nationally, eight legislative leaders were in prison at the same time until recently as a result of corruption verdicts. Their convictions included using taxpayers' dollars for political work and campaigns. Seven remain behind bars.
Thirty-eight people with ties to the Capitol were charged by state, federal and local officials. Two were acquitted and one had charges dropped. Despite this sordid chapter in state history, other states, notably Illinois and Louisiana, and perhaps others, have been worse over time.
On a national level, how does the United States fare in the world? How does corruption in this country compare to others? Obviously there's nothing close to a global registrar tracking corruption by public officials. Much of it goes undetected and even conviction data aren't available in some countries.
The watchdog group Transparency International issues an annual report on worldwide corruption. It's about "perceptions" of corruption. The group surveys around 3,000 people, typically businessmen, in about 30 countries.
"Corruption generally comprises illegal activities, which are deliberately hidden and only come to light through scandals, investigations or prosecutions," the group says on its webpage. "There is no meaningful way to assess absolute levels of corruption in countries or territories on the basis of hard empirical data."
The 2012 corruption perception index might surprise you. Even if you're pretty cynical, the United States isn't the worst. Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia bring up the rear.
The United States ranks among the 20 nations with the least public corruption, according to the survey. The three lowest were Denmark, Finland and New Zealand.
The U.S. follows Japan and the United Kingdom with the least corruption. At least that's the perception.
Where does corruption breed?
"A government launching a competitive tender, a company setting up operations abroad, a politician raising funds to campaign for office — these are just a few of the areas where corruption can breed. When it does, resources are wasted, the corrupt benefit at the expense of others, and societies suffer," Transparency International says.
One other breeding ground at the Pennsylvania state Capitol: long-term service in the Pennsylvania General Assembly, where leaders became insulated. Rank-and-file legislators over the long haul tend to abdicate power. That breeds feelings of entitlement and arrogance among leaders. Then comes the volatile mix with campaign money.
At least in the recent scandals, maintaining power in the state House drove scandals among Republican and Democrats. Desperate to cling to power, previous leaders stepped up the use of taxpayers' money to pay for campaigns. Why? Because it's easier. They have easy access. Garnering campaign money involves hours of work on the phone or by staff in setting up a fundraiser.
It's certainly not as easy as dipping in to the taxpayers' cookie jar.

Originally posted on Taking Bad Schotz | Last updated 1/31/13
Photo Credit: Jake Roth USA Today Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson entered the Farmers Insurance Open coming off disappointing finishes the previous week. Tiger didn't even make it to the weekend, missing the cut at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. Phil, on the other hand, did make the cut, but only finished in a tie for thirty-seventh. It's safe to say that both came into Torrey Pines with a chip on his shoulder, but one came away without one. The first round went well for Tiger and not too badly for Phil. Tiger finished his round with a 68, four-under. Phil finished, just like the previous week's first round, with a 72, even-par. Tiger was only three strokes behind the leaders, K.J. Choi and Brandt Snedeker, who both shot a seven-under 65. Phil would still be in contention if he produced a better second round. He did produce a better second round, but not much better as he cut one stroke off his first-round score as he finally got into red numbers after a 71. Tiger, on the other hand, remained in red numbers as he surged to the top of the leader-board after a second-round 65. Still, he only led by two strokes over Billy Horschel. Thanks to Mother Nature and fog postponing the third round to Sunday, Phil got a much-needed break on Saturday. But, the break appeared to hurt Phil as he fell down the leader-board after a third-round 75. Tiger did what seemed impossible during the majors last year as he increased his lead on the weekend after a third-round 69 to go to 14-under overall. The fourth round got under way on Sunday as Phil had no chance of contending and Tiger continued his great play as he birdied three of the seven holes he completed on Sunday. This left him at 17-under, six strokes ahead of the field. On Monday, it was more of the same for Tiger as he knew his lead and focused on paring every hole. He accomplished this in his first five holes, which were not one-through-five but instead were eight-through-twelve. He got sick of pars as he birdied the par-five thirteenth to improve to 18-overall. Another improvement was his lead, which blossomed to eight strokes with five holes remaining. It appeared that Tiger took his foot off the gas on these final five holes as he went bogey-double bogey-par-bogey-par. Tiger blamed it on the slow pace of play in his news conference, emphasizing his impatience with the group ahead of him. However, he couldn't help but smile after he won, for the seventh time, the Farmers Insurance Open. Tiger answered any questions that the skeptics had with his whopping four-stroke victory that reminded a lot of people of the old Tiger that finished tournaments on the weekend. Phil reminded the skeptics why they are questioning him as he finished in a tie for fifty-first. After their first tournaments of 2013 were about the same, Tiger and Phil went in opposite directions at the Farmers Insurance Open as Tiger reminds all of us why he has won 75 times on the PGA Tour and Phil reminds us why he hasn't won more than one PGA Tour tournament in each of the past three seasons. -O'Shea

NASA could hang "for rent" signs on Kennedy Space Center launch pads, firing rooms, the Vehicle Assembly Building and other facilities now supporting shuttle missions.
The center has requested space industry input on how those facilities could best be used to support government and commercial launches after the shuttle program's final flight, which is expected this summer.
"Kennedy has been working for some time to enable commercial space activities at the center that are in line with NASA's mission," space center Director Bob Cabana said in a statement. "Partnering with the commercial space industry will help NASA meet its goals and help sustain facility assets."
Almost every facility involved with shuttle operations could be offered for commercial use, from orbiter hangars and mobile launcher platforms to the shuttle runway and high bays where vehicles and payloads are prepared for flight.
But exactly which facilities will be made available remains to be determined. Kennedy officials still are assessing what's needed to determine the agency's new post-shuttle policy direction.
NASA plans to fly cargo and astronauts to the International Space Station on commercially operated rockets and to develop a heavy-lift rocket and crew capsule for deep space exploration by 2016.

Cup appeal drew Iginla to Pens
Jarome Iginla is a straight shooter.
He is a Penguin because he wants a shot at the Stanley Cup.
"There's no smoke and mirrors," left winger Brenden Morrow said of his newest teammate. "He's an honest, quality person."
Iginla said his heart was torn between Calgary and Pittsburgh, but the Penguins had an advantage over the club he had captained since 2003.
"To play on a team with the two best players in the world — and the roll they're on — I wanted that," Iginla said Thursday in Calgary, Alberta, where he bid adieu to the Flames after 16 seasons.
The Penguins acquired Iginla just after midnight Thursday, swapping prospects — wingers Ben Hanowski and Kenny Agostino — and a first-round draft pick for the Flames' franchise leader in goals, points and games.
Iginla has notched more than 500 goals and 1,000 points, and he won Olympic gold medals with Mario Lemieux (2002) and Sidney Crosby (2010). At the Vancouver Games in 2010, Iginla called Crosby, Morrow and Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury teammates.
Like Morrow, Iginla has never touched the Stanley Cup.
Iginla is counting on the team owned by Lemieux and captained by Crosby to erase that from a Hall of Fame resume.
Lemieux, who rarely grants interviews or releases comments via team officials, praised Iginla.
"He has so many qualities that will benefit our team here in Pittsburgh," Lemieux said in the statement.
Stephen Harper, Canada's prime minister, shared his thoughts on Twitter: "Jarome Iginla is a class act, a proud Canadian, and an all-time Flames great. Thanks for everything, Jarome."
General manager Ray Shero's interest in Iginla was the hockey world's worst kept secret, but the deal with Calgary was not struck until after reports out of Canada called the "Iggy Watch" for the Bruins late Wednesday.
Shero informed his staff multiple times there likely would be no deal, he said.
However, the hands of Calgary general manager Jay Feaster were cuffed by Iginla, whose contract contained a clause that allowed him to pick a new club.
Feaster called Shero late Wednesday and said Iginla's pick was the Penguins.
"I called my kids and let them know we acquired Jarome Iginla, and they said, 'No you didn't. He's going somewhere else. We saw on TV,' " Shero said. "I'm, like, 'Well, I think we're getting him.'
"If there's a chance to get Jarome Iginla … we're going to try and get Jarome Iginla. There's only one Jarome Iginla."
The Penguins, winners of 13 in a row before playing at home against Winnipeg on Thursday, were preferred because they are best built to win the Cup, Iginla said.
Also, they have former MVPs Crosby and Evgeni Malkin — players who, like Iginla, have won scoring titles.
Iginla carried the offensive load with the Flames, who lost the 2003 Final after holding a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
"I'd love to get my first crack at one Cup," he said. "Pittsburgh has the two best players in the world. It's really hard as a player to pass up the opportunity to play on a team with Sid and Malkin."

I think, there is no other fruit, vegetable, food, dish, beverage that I know I will enjoy as much as apples and red wine until the end of my days, on a daily basis.
Therefore, another apple bread. I have been infatuated with prunes lately. A combination of both in a loaf cake had to be inevitable. The result is inevitably gorgeous: fruity apples together with tangy prunes and crunchy walnuts and a hint of cinnamon just have to be a no-brainer. Good ingredients, great flavor, good for you. Bon Appetit!
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup prunes, pitted and chopped
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup palm sugar
1 cup grated apple (ca. 2 medium apples)
Yields 1 loaf-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Preheat oven to 175C/350F. Grease loaf tin or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir in chopped prunes and walnuts. Set aside.
In a smaller bowl, beat egg whites, Stir in olive oil and palm sugar until well combined. Fold in grated apple. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Transfer batter to prepared loaf tin. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until cake tester comes out clean.
Let cool completely on wire racks.

Blueberries are finally coming down in price in my neck of the woods. This week they are buy one get one free at one of the stores I shop at, so of course I had to buy some. I knew I could figure out something to do with them and as I thought about it, this poundcake seemed like the perfect thing to make.
One of the things I love about poundcake is that it freezes beautifully. So I decided I would make this now, freeze it and then bring it with us when we head up to our cabin for a couple of weeks. It will be a great sweet treat while we're relaxing on the beach and playing in the lake.
Blueberry Lemon Poundcake
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 tsp vanilla
- zest and juice of one lemon
- 1 pint blueberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk
Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating each one in well.

How to Copy Blu-ray Movies to a File with Main Title and Content Only
Do you know the advantages of copying Blu-ray main title only? Know how to do it? This article will give you all the answers...
There are several ways to back up and copy Blu-ray movie from the original Blu-ray disc, for example, burning Blu-ray to another Blu-ray disc, decrypting and backing up Blu-ray to a folder, and copying Blu-ray movie to a file with the main movie title only. It is wise to choose the last one – Blu-ray main title copy for many reasons which will be specified hereinafter.
See also: [Fixed] DVD Main Title Copy Crash
What Is Blu-ray Main Title Copy?
Similar to DVD, Blu-ray also has scores of movie titles besides the main one. But as we know, most or even all of other contents of Blu-ray, with the exception of the main title, are superfluous and useless, including ads, trailer, comments, reviews, cast, warnings and titbits, etc.
Hence, main Blu-ray title copy refers to copying Blu-ray disc to your PC in a form of a file containing the main movie only. In most cases, the main title is one with longest duration or largest size among all titles of this Blu-ray movie. In this way, you can get rid of all the unwanted titles in Blu-ray.
What Are the Uses and Advantages of Blu-ray Main Movie Copy?
With respect to BD to computer copy, there are two ways typically – clone Blu-ray to a folder and copy Blu-ray to a file; specially, the former one can guarantee that the output Blu-ray folder has all information and content in the disc, whereas the latter can output a M2TS file with main title or selected title(s) only.
The most prominent advantage of full Blu-ray disc copy to a folder is the availability and convenience for burning, while main Blu-ray content copy focuses on convenient playing.
If you choose to copy Blu-ray main movie title to a M2TS file, you can play back the copied Blu-ray video file directly by some popular player software, say, free media player 5KPlayer, Windows Media Player, VLC, KMPlayer, and MPlayer. In addition to direct video playback, Blu-ray main title copy has many other usages:
- Backup: Copying Blu-ray to a file is a good way to back up Blu-ray video because the Blu-ray disc is easy to scratch and lose. The backup file copy can be saved in computer safely and can be found easily.
- Carrying: The Blu-ray backup copy is in the form of a portable file. You can copy and paste it to your USB flash disk, mobile phone or any other movable devices at random, carry it anywhere and use it conveniently.
- Convertibility: After copying Blu-ray disc to a M2TS file, you can transfer M2TS to AVI, MP4, MPEG, WMV or any other formats with greater compatibility to be played by more players or used by more editing programs by a HD video converter.
Besides, copying Blu-ray movie to a file with the main movie title only can bring plenty of other benefits to you, in terms of time and space, for example. Copying a single title (main title) obviously takes less time than copy all titles. And you can also save time by only watching the main movie content instead of the whole. Accordingly, main movie copy will occupy less space of your computer. Let's take the Blu-ray Beauty and Beast for instance, the full disc copy containing all titles takes up 40GB, while the main title file only takes up 23462MB. That's the difference!
How to Copy Blu-ray Main Movie Title Only?
In order to copy Blu-ray main movie title, you need to prepare Blu-ray copy software first. But please to make sure the software you choose can support all Blu-ray discs, including the latest encrypted Blu-ray. Actually, you can try WinX Blu-ray Decrypter that is able to remove all Blu-ray copy protections and encryptions such as BD-Live and BD+ and decrypt and copy blu-ray movie with only the main title. (Related: Remove Copy Protections from DVD)
After you download, install and run it, you can start the Blu-ray main title copy:
Step 1: Insert your BD in the Blu-ray drive, and import your BD by clicking "Load BD";
Step 2: Find "Target Mode" on the right, and choose "Title Mode".
Step 3 (optional): Select any title(s) you want to copy among the listed titles according to the movie information displayed on the left.
Step 4: Click "Run" button to get the copy process started.
WinX Blu-ray Decrypter can decrypt and output Blu-ray as an AVCHD video file with the extension of m2ts. There are some reasons for using this Blu-ray decrypter to copy the main Blu-ray movie title:
- It guarantees copying all encrypted Blu-ray discs (for personal use only) Related: Rip Copy Protected DVDs
- It can provide 1:1 main movie copy without losing quality
- It can output complete and intact main movie content
- It splits all unnecessary parts in original Blu-ray disc for you
Besides, it also supports full Blu-ray disc copy to copy full disc to a folder in your hard drive.
Note: The software developer only advocates copying Blu-ray for personal use and suggests referring to the copyright laws in your countries before doing it.

Hi, can anyone tell me a reliable way to estimate a proper price to sell a domain name.
Hi, friend and I have started a yt channel called "BrainScale" and currently we are making a series of time-lapse videos displaying the process of creating low poly game assets, which I believe will be helpful for some new members.
They are made in C4D and Bodypaint 3D, but the same principles are applicable in all similar applications. Here is the channel:http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBrainScale
Here is a small demo of my next project in Unity3Dhttp://batzstudio.com/unity/platformer/platformer001.html
still very rough though.
Finished (kinda):
Walking/running, Jumping and double jumping, Hanging on a ledges (presented as pink dots in the demo), Jumping from hanging (Space, and direction), Dropping down form hanging (press S), Movable obstacles ( main problem was to keep player "attached" to them, solved it by making the player child of the object), Adjusting players rotation according to surface below
Remaining for this week:
Climbing (ladders, ropes etc), Jump from climbing, Different behavior on different surfaces (ice, water, sticky etc), Character mesh ROTATION
Thanks! I wasn't able to make Windows version this weekend because I was too busy with other projects, but I'll do my best to make it next week.
+ iOS version is coming soon
Svaka cast
Thank you!
Currently, it's for the Android only. If I find some free time this weekend, I'll try to make a build for Windows too.
And a QR code for lazy ones
Thank you all so much
Hi, I'd like to present you my first published game (after number of canceled, abandoned and unfinished projects).
My main goal with this game was to explore the whole game design and publishing process, and more importantly to FINALLY finish a single game.
Here are the links:
As you can see there are paid (ads-free) and free(with ads) version of the game. Although this type of games are good for it, I've intentionally avoided IAPs, because currently I'm not aiming at some major profit from it. Also, I do know there are some glitches, and probably plenty of space for optimization, and hopefully I'll correct them with the future updates.
Please check it, and comment (don't be too harsh)
Lol, I've just noticed that I have one too

Mastering Oracle SQL Review
By Drew
from Undisclosed
Mastering Oracle SQL by Sanjay Mishra and Alan Beaulieu published by O'Reilly is a great book for exploring the intricacies of Oracle SQL and particularly version 9ias as it relates to the SQL92 standard. SQL is not a glamorous programming language, but the authors make it accessible without talking down to their intended audience or presenting examples that are too simplistic. Like all O'Reilly books, the material is well presented, the authors can program as well as write, and the book has a very consistent and pleasing look. The first chapters are introductory and review material. There is a short section on the history of SQL along with a bit of theory regarding relational database management systems. This section covers the basic DML statements, the WHERE clause, joins, group functions, subqueries, date formatting and date manipulation. This is what I would define as the heart of SQL, and the tools that most SQL programmers use every day. The chapters follow a basic formula: the topic is presented using traditional Oracle SQL, and then presented again using the newer adherence to the ANSI SQL92 standard. The two methods are compared and contrasted. The next section is about getting the best from SQL. Presented in these chapters are set operations, hierarchical queries, partitions, objects and collections. This section is more focused to the newer versions of the ORACLE RDBMS. Programmers still using the older versions will find fewer things they can actually use, but this section does a good job of taking the reader beyond what they have encountered in school or training classes. I was surprised to see a chapter on PL/SQL, the procedural extension of SQL; a subject large enough for complete books, and a language with its own intricacies and gotchas. As the focus is on SQL this chapter shows how PL/SQL and SQL interact, rather than delving deeply into PL/SQL. The chapter that interested me the most was 14: Best Practices. A constant challenge facing many SQL programmers is finding ways to write code that is faster. This chapter does a good job of explaining why certain SQL statements execute faster than others, resulting in large increases in efficiency. SynopsisThis is a very good book for SQL users who use the latest versions of ORACLE products at work, and want to start out creating the best possible SQL code right away. The time spent reading this book is very rewarding, and can be applied immediately to business situations encountered every day.

A very good read, packed with good examples. However, we need scripts to create the tables used in all those wonderful examples -- how else are we to practice what we've just learned? Those scripts should be made available online.

I purchased 'Mastering Oracle SQL' two weeks ago. Having worked with Oracle for the past six years, I found the book an excellent guide to reinforce my SQL knowledge. The book details various SQL functions etc. in detail and would highly recommend it to anyone presently working with Oracle SQL or entering the world of Oracle. 'Mastering Oracle SQL' really gives you value for money. Unfortunately, unlike other books that I have purchased on Oracle, the scripts to create the tables which is useful to newcomers who want to practice code used in the book or sample code from the book is not available from the authors or the publishers web site. This is the only downside of the book.

Excellent, excellent, excellent! For an experienced SQL programmer, a delight to read. Even a few ideas not easily found elsewhere, can make a difference. Emphasis on inline views alone worth the price of book.Gently introduces terms like "anti-join" in a very practical context, making them uniquely understandable.Lack of coverage of MERGE ("UPSERT") statement, new in 9i, deplorable; it is useful not just in data warehousing.And here's a trick from me: to insert a record without error if it already exists,INSERT ALL INTO tab( a , b)SELECT 'foo' , 'bar'FROM dualWHERE ( NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM tab WHERE ( a = 'foo' ) AND ( b = 'bar' ) ) );
By Hemant Arora
This is the best book for learning the SQL. It clears all the doubts that you have regarding the SQL queries and it can really be like a ready reference. Lots of examples make this book a very nice companion for the developers.A Must Buy for all who are enthusiastic for learning good SQL concepts.

Hi its a great book so far very helpful if your starting into oracle sql...

Daniel Lopatin AKA Oneohtrix Point Never returns after the huge R Plus Seven with Commissions I; a collection of material originally commissioned for art installations, performance and film. The first piece 'Music For Steamed Rocks' interprets Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski's 'Preludes For Sacrum Profanum' and is an engrossing exhibition of electronically treated orchestral music with its angelic vocals and ornate synth strings coming together in beautiful harmony. Next 'Meet Your Creator' (used to support to support Quadrotor's Saatchi & Saatchi directors show) lays down some arresting arpeggios accompanied by dense waves of strings, and finally there is 'I Only Have Eyes For You' – a twisted ambient rework of the 1930's classic from Harry Warren and Al Dubin.

Former mayor denies libel claim
Lawyer Malcolm Mifsud, a former mayor, yesterday filed a counter-protest denying a claim of libel made against him by present Pietà mayor Sunny Attard.
Mr Attard had filed a judicial protest against Dr Mifsud and against Victor Camilleri as the editor of the newspaper Il-Mument.
According to Mr Attard, Dr Mifsud had alleged in an article published in the newspaper that he (Mr Attard) was wanted by the police because he was some kind of a criminal.
The current mayor called on Dr Mifsud and Mr Camilleri to publish a formal apology in the newspaper's next issue or face a libel suit.
But Dr Mifsud claimed that the article consisted in justified criticism of the current mayor.
Dr Mifsud said that his article had revealed that Mr Attard was refusing to meet with the police force in a co-ordination exercise. The police had complained in writing of Mr Attard's lack of co-operation.
Dr Mifsud denied that he had ever claimed that Mr Attard was a criminal, but said that he had levelled political criticism about Mr Attard's work as a mayor. He added that he was entitled to express his views and to defend a council employee from political discrimination.
Lawyer Cedric Mifsud signed the counter-protest.

The CRTC wants Canadians to hold "flash conferences" with friends and colleagues to discuss the future of television and then report their findings back as part of the broadcast regulator's broader examination of the country's broadcast system.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission officially launched its "Let's Talk TV" campaign Thursday, hoping to engage Canadians over the next month in a conversation about how they watch television.
Everything is on the table, and likely hot topics will include the introduction of so-called pick-and-pay television services in which subscribers have greater choice over their television packages and whether traditional broadcasters should be regulated online when they launch services to compete with companies such as Netflix Inc.
"Canadians are entitled to an open, diverse and affordable television system that is responsive and forward-looking, a system that provides us with the best of what Canada has to offer alongside the very best international content," the CRTC said in its release. "Is Canada's television system providing you with the programming you want? On the devices you choose? Are you well served in the way you receive programming? Are you getting the information you need to make informed choices?"
Besides providing Canadians with instructions on how to host "flash conferences," the CRTC hopes viewers will write letters or leave phone messages with the commission before Nov. 22 outlining their thoughts and frustrations ahead of a formal review planned for September.
The review was announced before the federal government's recent Speech from the Throne, which made unbundling television services a priority. It comes as traditional television providers struggle to reinvent themselves to compete with online rivals by offering more of their content online to subscribers and targeting the mobile market with programming offers.
They aren't actually losing subscribers yet. An annual report released this month by the Canadian Radio-television Communications Commission said the number of Canadian households with a television subscription increased by 1 per cent in 2012 to about 12 million.
But the rate of growth appears to be slowing considerably. A report by Convergence Consulting Group found about 42,000 new subscriptions were set up in 2012. In the past, the industry could count on adding about 220,000 new subscribers each year.
Analysts expect the industry to soon start shedding subscribers.
"I can point to at least four or five firms in the U.S. and Canada including our own whose analyses are showing some level of cord cutting or increased shaving," said Kaan Yigit, president of Toronto-based Solutions Research Group. "No one has said it's huge numbers but everyone agrees growth has stopped."
There are signs some cutting is starting to take: a summer report by Boon Dog said Canada's publicly traded television providers lost 19,624 subscribers.
Retaining those subscribers is key for the Canadian television industry, which is funded largely by the broadcasters who are required to spend a portion of their revenue on Canadian content. The CRTC said its "marching orders" required it to ensure Canadians have access to a wide range of content that reflects their interests and support Canadian content creators but that it may need to change the rules it enforces given the onslaught of new services.
"In order to meet these important objectives, the CRTC has required the broadcasting industry to follow certain rules," it stated. "Now we are asking if these rules are still the best way to achieve our goals or if the changing television environment calls for a fresh approach."Report Typo/Error

|Rockies | Tyler Chatwood allows one hit in win
Mon, 25 Jul 2016 04:17:59 -0700
Colorado Rockies SP Tyler Chatwood allowed one hit in five innings Sunday, July 24, as the Rockies beat the Atlanta Braves, 7-2.
Fantasy Tip: It was a mixed bag for Chatwood, whose stat lines are about ready to make fantasy owners' blood pressures skyrocket. Chatwood allowed eight walks and recorded six strikeouts, yet he allowed no runs and his record is now 9-6 overall. Chatwood is a safe start in fantasy leagues, but be aware that his line might induce cringes from time to time.

|Rockies | Tyler Chatwood's home struggles continue
Tue, 19 Jul 2016 22:58:43 -0700
Colorado Rockies SP Tyler Chatwood yielded seven runs on eight hits in three innings against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, July 19. He walked two and struck out one en route to his sixth loss at Coors Field this season.
Fantasy Tip: Tampa Bay entered this series dead last in the majors in runs for July, and yet they managed to top their best output of the month (five runs) in just three innings against Chatwood. He's simply a different pitcher on the road, and tonight proved he can't be relied on even in a plus match-up. Until further notice your best approach is to start Chatwood on the road and keep him nestled securely on the virtual pine at Coors Field.

|Rays | Logan Morrison out Tuesday
Tue, 19 Jul 2016 14:24:40 -0700
Tampa Bay Rays 1B Logan Morrison will not start Tuesday, July 19, against the Colorado Rockies. 1B Steve Pearce is in the lineup and will hit fifth against Rockies SP Tyler Chatwood.
Fantasy Tip: Morrison (.232-10-31) is the backup to Pearce, who was hitting .322-9-25 before a hamstring issue sidelined him on June 20. Look for Pearce to get the bulk of the starts moving forward, which could cost Morrison some fantasy value. Still, with 10 home runs to his credit, don't be surprised if the team finds ways to get Morrison some at-bats.

Tue, 19 Jul 2016 13:59:51 -0700
Tampa Bay Rays OF Brandon Guyer is not in the starting lineup Tuesday, July 19, against Colorado Rockies SP Tyler Chatwood. OF Corey Dickerson is in left field again and will hit fourth.
Fantasy Tip: With just three hits in his last seven games, the Rays are likely going with the hotter hand at the plate. Dickerson's batting average (.223) is low, but his 13 homers and 35 RBI make him a strong DFS and regular-league candidate.

|Rockies | Tyler Chatwood solid in return
Tue, 05 Jul 2016 23:53:21 -0700
Colorado Rockies SP Tyler Chatwood (back) surrendered two runs -- one earned -- on three hits in five innings against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday, July 5. He walked four and struck out four.
Fantasy Tip: Making his first start since June 18, Chatwood did a good job of keeping the Rockies within striking distance against Madison Bumgarner. Chatwood's MO has been to pitch poorly at home and dominate on the road. While this wasn't dominance, the narrative still held largely true. Chatwood is scheduled to start once more before the break, at home against Philly. Proceed with caution.

Tue, 05 Jul 2016 15:41:55 -0700
Colorado Rockies SP Tyler Chatwood (back) was activated from the disabled list Tuesday, July 5. SP Eddie Butler was optioned to Class AAA Albuquerque in a corresponding move.
Fantasy Tip: Chatwood has been solid for the Rockies this year with a 3.15 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, but his 5.6 strikeouts per nine innings leaves something to be desired for fantasy owners. He's a matchup play in deep mixed and NL-only leagues when he's on the road and not at pitcher-friendly Coors Field. He's starting against the Giants tonight.

|Rockies | Tyler Chatwood nearing a return
Sun, 03 Jul 2016 05:19:14 -0700
Colorado Rockies SP Tyler Chatwood (back) threw a bullpen session Saturday, July 2, and manager Walt Weiss said Chatwood could return from the disabled list "very soon."
Fantasy Tip: Chatwood doesn't move the needle enough in the strikeout department (5.6 K/9 this season) to be anything more than a low-end hurler in mixed leagues, but he did win eight of 14 starts with a 3.15 ERA before the injury. Still, calling hitter-friendly Coors Field home doesn't help, and it's best to view Chatwood as a better deep mixed and NL-only option.

|Santa has not always appeared the way we think of him today. The first well-known gift-giver was a true person--St. Nicholas. He lived in Myra (today we know it as Turkey) in about 300A.D. Born an only child of a wealthy family, he was orphaned at an early age when both parents died of the plague. He grew up in a monastery and at the age of 17 became one of the youngest priests ever. Many stories are told of his generosity as he gave his wealth away in the form of gifts to those in need, especially children. Legends tell of him either dropping bags of gold down chimneys or throwing the bags through the windows where they landed in the stockings hung from the fireplace to dry. Some years later Nicholas became a bishop--hence the bishop's hat or miter, long flowing gown, white beard and red cape. After his death he was elevated to sainthood. Eventually the Catholic Church started celebrating Christmas and St. Nicholas was incorporated into the season.
|When the Reformation took place, the new Protestants no longer desired St. Nicholas as their gift-giver as he was too closely tied to the Catholic Church. Therefore, each country or region developed their own gift-giver. In France he was known as Pere Noel. In England he was Father Christmas (always depicted with sprigs of holly, ivy or mistletoe). Germany knew him as Weihnachtsmann (Christmas man). When the communists took over in Russia and outlawed Christianity, the Russians began to call him Grandfather Frost, who wore blue instead of the traditional red. To the Dutch, he was Sinterklaas (which eventually was mispronounced in America and became Santa Claus). These Santas were arrayed in every color of the rainbow--sometimes even in black. But they all had long white beards and carried Christmas gifts for the children.
©1978 Thomas Nast St. Hill
The Santa we know today had his beginnings in 1823 with Clement C. Moore's "A Visit from St. Nicholas" in which he described St. Nicholas as "chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf". Forty years later, Thomas Nast, political cartoonist, created a different illustration each year of Santa for the cover of Harper's Weekly. His Santa was a plump, jolly old fellow with a white beard and smoking a long stemmed pipe. In 1863, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln asked Nast to do an illustration showing Santa with the Union troops. Many historians say this was one of the most demoralizing moments for the Confederate army....seeing Santa side with the North.
In the South, by 1863, the Union had blockaded their ports and very little was able to get through. Southern families explained to their children that even "Santa" could not get through the blockade.
©1978 Thomas Nast St. Hill
Finally, from 1931 to 1964, Haddon Sundblom created a new Santa each Christmas for Coca-Cola
advertisements that appeared world-wide on the back covers of Post and National Geographic magazines. This is the Santa we know and love today with a red suit trimmed with white
fur, leather boots and belt, long white beard and a pack of toys slung onto his back.

Winter Tires? Or All-Season Tires?
November 12th, 2015
Winter tires versus all-season tires…which is the right choice for you?
The two designs are quite different and deliver different levels of performance and winter-weather traction, so let's discuss.
• All-season tires are designed as an all-around compromise. They feature a tread pattern that evacuates water from the tire's contact patch to prevent hydroplaning, with plenty of small, textured slits (sipes) to add extra biting edges for traction in wet or slushy conditions.
• All-season tires are designed with a harder tread compound th ...[more]

As it did for the iPhone 5S and 5C, Apple has tweaked its product portfolio with two new products to maintain premium positioning in an increasingly competitive tablet market. Both the iPad mini 2 (starting at $399) with Retina display and the iPad Air (starting at $499), which is thinner (43% thinner than the iPad 4), lighter, and faster (with a super-fast A7 chip) are great additions to the iPad product portfolio and come with new colors and covers. As always with Apple, expectations on systematic breakthrough hardware innovations are irrational. Apple is good at inventing new products (e.g., iPod, iPhone, or iPad) and at maximizing profitability of its product range over time through software innovations and clever marketing. Yes, at some point, the company will need to disrupt a new market once again, but today's announcement is really about making sure it maintains the premium brand experience for the holiday season when competition is heating up — not just for tablets but also for the amazing new line of Mac products.
Competition is heating up
Posted by Thomas Husson on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on May 22, 2013
Too many marketing leaders still lump tablets and smartphones into the same mobile bucket. That's a mistake. Why? Because tablets are not primarily mobile devices. Instead, they are mostly used within the home. Marketing leaders must create a differentiated tablet experience or risk dissatisfying their best customers and missing opportunities to engage when customers discover and explore their products.
Here are the key takeaways from new research I conducted in the past few months:
Posted by Thomas Husson on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on April 3, 2013
To borrow from McCann Truth Central, most of us have owned mobile devices (not to mention smartphones) for, on average, 12 years — and we're still figuring out mobile phone behaviors and the impact of mobile on our relationships. We have distinct mobile personalities.
This means we're all mobile teens, trying to envision our futures and figuring out our relationships with others and with brands. If mobile marketing is entering the teenage years, then needless to say, tablet marketing is in its infancy.
To draw the analogy a step further, let's consider marketers as parents. What does this mean? It implies that marketing leaders should help their kids grow and develop, play to their strengths, accept their differences, and reinforce their identities without forcing them to become what they are not. It means that the future will be full of surprises, with unknown territories and new use cases to come for not only smartphones and tablets but also reinvented laptops and personal computers. A lot of the attention will be paid to the new baby (the tablet), certainly creating some conflicts with the older sibling (the smartphone), which is particularly keen to become independent despite its relative immaturity.
