There is something amiss about the latest Ubisoft open-world game Watch Dogs. It's a complicated mixture of small inconsistencies in the design, the plot, and the game world itself. On top of that, the tone bounces between serious, comical, and nonsensical on an alarmingly regular basis.
The game was unveiled in 2012 at Ubisoft's pre-E3 press conference to the adoration of the entire industry. Over the past months, the Internet hype machine went into full effect, fueled by Ubisoft themselves and the fervour of online commenting communities. After that initial reveal, conjecture naturally sprung up around the web; then, with Ubisoft sending out trailer after trailer, Watch Dogs was labelled as a coming-of-age party for the next generation of graphics and gameplay. The hype train is a bad one to catch, and it has not helped the title, making it feel far less than it should be. Even then, after experiencing much of the game's content, what you end up with is a title that actually still quite fun to play, but oddly uncompelling.
In Watch Dogs, you play as one-man judge, jury, and executioner Aiden Pearce. A highly skilled hacker and thief, Aiden decides to screw over the wrong people, leading to the accidental death of his niece Lena. Then, as if to make a gruff, angry protagonist even gruffier and angrier, his sister and nephew get kidnapped. Aiden then sets out on a mission of vengeance using ctOS – Chicago's interconnected computer system – to find his family's assailants and take down the corrupt dealings going on around the city. However – and there's a theme starting to appear here – the plot is not really succinct and doesn't fit together at all well. Once you get rolling after the opening, Aiden seems to switch his focus from one bad guy to another every mission, which make none of the antagonists ever feel truly evil. The story meanders from plot point to plot point, never finding a sense of direction or narrative purpose. Rather than a complete package, the Watch Dogs story feels like multiple movies spliced randomly together.
If story isn't the hook that attempts to pull you in, the hacking mechanics are. The simple-to-use mechanic is the main differentiator between Watch Dogs and other open-world titles and, for the most part, it does it well. A single button on your controller gives you context-sensitive access to all your ctOS controlling needs. During different in-game sequences, like stealth, gunplay, driving, or exploring, you can point your cursor and tap your Hack button to kill, maim, or distract your enemy. You can do anything from setting off car alarms to draw guards away from a post, to raising bridges to lose chasers, to causing entire city blocks to plunge into darkness. Discovering and using these abilities is very fun, but I quickly found myself in a slump using the same few abilities over and over. This isn't a testament to the quality of the hacking mechanics, but a reflection of the other mechanics that make up the moment-to-moment gameplay.
Despite being mostly pitched as a next-generation change in gameplay mechanics, Watch Dogs is simply just another third-person cover-based shooter. A or X duck Aiden into cover, left trigger to aim, and the right trigger shoots. Even with the hacking options available to you, it's still easier to jump from cover to cover taking out bad guys with one of a few dozen weapons. The game seems to want to give you a sense of variety by letting you hack or shoot your way through an area, but Ubisoft doesn't push you towards the hacking. This, however, is not the case with the driving.
When in a chase sequence, while Aiden is being hunted down by the police or various gangsters, the player is forced to use his ctOS hacking skills. You can be a fantastic driver, slipping between oncoming cars, hitting and landing crazy jumps, and stealthily sneaking down alleyways, but you will never ditch your pursuers. The game funnels you towards raising bridges or blockers, or exploding underground steam pipes to wreck your opponent's vehicles, allowing you to then use your driving skills to evade while the remaining bad guys search. That is exactly what I am after. If you are pushing your game on a singular gimmick, then push that gimmick; don't rest on your laurels just in case some players may not like it. However, it's a shame that the driving is mostly terrible. While motorbikes seem to hit warp speeds, every other car is either super fast or super slow, and are all as indestructible as one another. Worse still is the fact that none of the cars feels like they have any grip on the road; it's like every surface in Chicago is covered in ice.
Despite my moaning, much of the gameplay is OK. It has its annoyances, but otherwise, it's an unremarkable, yet perfectly serviceable game. It's much of the wrapping around the gameplay that causes Watch Dogs to flounder.
As part of the hacking spirit Watch Dogs has, the game gives you access to something called "The Profiler". Tapping your hack button not only allows you to see interactive devices in the environment, but also allows you to take note of small pieces of info about every NPC in Chicago, which allows you to hack them to see and/or hear their chats and phone calls, or steal money from their bank accounts. TThis is one of the most excellent parts of Watch Dogs – along with a side mission that lets you become a cyber-voyeur looking through people's webcams. "The Profiler" adds a much-needed sense of character to the faceless drones milling around the city streets, even making you feel rather bad after accidentally killing them. However, it also adds to the title's weirdness. As Aiden is a vigilante, you have the ability to profile potential criminals and then take them out before they commit a crime. It's great, giving you a sense of moral high ground, until you realise that you hacked six bank accounts while tailing your suspect, stealing $3000 total from a 50 year old divorcee, three cancer patients, a single mother and man who frequently searches for strange pornography online. It makes the tone of the game just wonky.
Regardless of how good the moment-to-moment gameplay is, if the game bounces from goofy to serious, while sitting all over the moral spectrum, the title is going to feel strange. The game tries to add a weight of character to everyone in the world with "The Profiler", but mere minutes later you can be climbing up the walls of buildings, and crushing police cars in a six-legged spider tank. First, Aiden will be attempting to be 'just' while questioning the morality of the situation he is placed in, then he'll start to play chess for no reason, and then open up his phone to play augmented reality games. During the main story missions, many of the characters, and almost all of the dialogue is laden with heavy cliche. By the end of the story, like much of the open-world content, you are left with even more mixed feelings, especially because the story meanders as much as it does.
Speaking of the open world, the Ubisoft-built city of Chicago is entirely forgettable. While it may be a real city full of real landmarks, it feels more like an empty shell. Watch Dogs' Chicago is not a world that is living and breathing, but rather a playground designed with the player mind. On the face of it, a place designed for the player should be great, however, a world where everything is already uncovered is not a fun place to explore. As soon as the tutorial is over and Aiden is unleashed into the world, every corner of the map is filled to the brim with tiny icons – in fact, so many of them cover up others. Not only is it utterly overwhelming, but it's totally over-indulgent on Ubisoft's part. After playing other Ubisoft-made titles, like recent Assassin Creeds and Far Cry 3, much of the side content in the open world is not very compelling. ctOS towers are the Far Cry radio towers, gang hideouts are, well, gang hideouts. There are ctOS breaches, which involve finding obscure places to climb in order to hack. Then there are fixer contracts and criminal convoys, which involve escaping from and destroying cars, respectively. Alternatively, you can play a digital trip – where Aiden takes some electronic LSD and you take part in a boring mini-game – before attempting chess puzzles, slot machines, or drinking games. However, none of them are hugely entertaining. Well, spider tank is pretty fun – as is the cash run. But, and I feel like I'm repeating myself here, none of the side missions fit with each other, let alone the rest of the game.
It's the fact that none of this content is discoverable which is really annoying. Great video game worlds, like Skyrim, San Andreas, or The Capital Wasteland, encourage exploration by giving you an empty map. Even if some of the side stuff in Fallout 3 or Grand Theft Auto V could be boring, the fact that you have to discover where they are makes the locations instantly memorable. Discovering the Republic Of Dave or climbing Mount Chilliad, and the missions that take place therein, make those places vividly stick in your mind. John Marston and his objectives are growing as the story of Red Dead Redemption progresses, whereas, in Watch Dogs, you are presented with a checklist and all the time in the world – or at least all the time your patience allows.
Then there is what should have set up Watch Dogs to break away from its contemporaries – the online. In Watch Dogs, you were supposed to be constantly connected, seamlessly dropping in and out of multiplayer modes. Except you're not, and you don't. During my roughly 30 hours with the game, the only notifications I consistently received were those telling me I had been disconnected from the Ubisoft servers. Then, when I finally managed to get some time in the multiplayer, I was not seamlessly doing anything. Upon picking one of the online modes, I had to wait for the game to matchmake me. It's no different from any other multiplayer game, except you get to carry on playing the game while you wait. Despite having a handful of decent modes – trailing, free roaming, racing, – the one-on-one hacking game is by far the most interesting. One player is on the hacking attack, while the other is on hunting defence. However, as most rounds progress the same way, it just becomes super repetitive.
Watch Dogs is really a victim of its own desires. The original reveal pushed too hard and, combined with the huge marketing surge, caused the game to stumble before it even started running. Saying that, a mostly failed attempt to hit a bar that's way too high shouldn't be something to scold Ubisoft for. What's most disappointing is the fact that Ubisoft is resting on its design laurels. You are playing the same Ubisoft game that you've played before, except this time the hook is computers rather than pirates or Vaas. However, the tedium of some of the content and the open world doesn't stop the game from being good while you are playing. It's as soon as you step away from the controller and begin to mull over your experience that you realise that Watch Dogs feels tonally awkward and had the potential to be so much more.

The song needs to be read first to get what the story is about, Ignore the video as cool as it is visually apart from the fact the wolf turns into a naked woman at the end
In short the story in past tense is about 2 people meeting and being attracted to one another, they fall in love, but the "she wolf" clearly comes into the equation and using her dominace wins over the someone, the girl devastated hense "falling the pieces" by this is trying to figure out in her head, what went wrong, and mainly why,
im sure other comments from people will explain the story better but here are a few points to get you thinking theres more to this song that meets the eye
* The definition of she wolf is 1, A female wolf 2. A predatory woman
also many Prostitutes get refered to being a she wolf.
* "hungry for that flesh of mine" refering to Lust rather than love which is a deadly sin, "the thrill of the kill you feel as a sin" could be adultery which again many belive is a sin
* The lyric "what do you see in those yellow eyes", interesting because not many people if anyone actually has yellow eyes, therefore the colour yellow is symbolism, she asks that question because shes working out in her head what the she wolf had that she didn't to make whoever stay ... I copied and pasted this from a Colour meanining website...
How the color yellow affects us mentally and physically
* Mentally stimulating
* Stimulates the nervous system
* Activates memory
* Encourages communication
* Lastly there is no point whatever in that song where she is talking about a man !!! this could be a lesbian affair, but i will admit i didn't think this when i first heard it or read it, its the sexist way of looking at this song assuming its a man she's falling to pieces about.
JamieGhoston October 24, 2012 Link
+1Oh God.... ok you had me up until the "sexist" comment. That's idiotic and asinine, and you obviously have no idea what "sexist" means. It's not sexist to think that she's talking about a man, and there's no indication that she's romantically involved with a woman, by your logic it's just as sexist to think she's talking about loving another woman.
She's talking about how she can't compete with the "she-wolf" which is probably a slutty girl, maybe someone the love interest usually goes for because she also talks about them "laying with wolves". Also, many wolves have yellow eyes, so that was another reference to the she-wolf, where she was asking the love interest what the she-wolf had that she didn't.Flagged rvm4488on November 02, 2012

One of my favorite stories from many stints as a manager was the direct-report with deadline problems who we sent to an expensive, full-day time-management seminar to try to help her get her life and work schedule under control.
She thought it was a great idea; a way to learn techniques to make her life less stressful and her work more consistent.
She left halfway through the seminar because she couldn't afford the time to finish it without being late on projects she'd accepted since having scheduled the seminar.
The only reason I tell that story (the histrionics of which make it a lot funnier in person) is that no one I know still remembers Catch-22 as anything but a kind of stale old story about a ridiculously hidebound organization and a guy who couldn't get something done because of a rule that he couldn't do it unless it had already been done.
Which is fine if you're writing an English Lit. essay, but not the kind of thing that makes for useful revelations at work.
Revelations like: if the adage (and Gartner report) is correct in estimating that 80 percent of the work and budget of the average IT shop goes to "keep the lights on" legacy apps, routine maintenance and support, then only 20 percent of the total resources of IT will be available for all the other projects users are clamoring to have done.
That means – even if migrating many of your legacy apps to the cloud will save a lot of money, a lot of time in management and ongoing development, and make end users happy by improving performance, making the legacies available from anywhere and adding features the apps never had before – that many IT shops will never get around to doing that migration because they're too busy splitting the meager 20 percent of their available time among the 25 or 30 projects users are demanding be finished right away.
This according to "The Great Cloud Blockage," a blog entry from Ben Kepes, a tech investor, consultant and business developer who has written extensively on the business implications of both cloud computing and the business of providing cloud services while working with RackSpace, CloudAve and a range of other SAAS and cloud companies over the years. **
His post came out of a roundtable discussion on enterprise cloud adoption that included the VP of strategy from Salesforce, cloud architect at Netflix and former manager of global systems at Bechtel.
The conclusion that the migration of legacy apps to the cloud face a "Catch-22" not only because IT often can't spare the effort to make the migration happen, but often can't justify the cost because bean counters look at total historical cost of the legacy systems compared to the additional cost of a new cloud system.
The right way to look at it, Kepes writes, is that cloud based systems typically cost less, even though their cost per transaction (or other unit of measurement) is higher. Even with a higher per-unit cost, fewer units are being used, so the total cost is lower.
That's Cloudonomics Law No. 1, btw, but it's one that both CFOs and CIOs ignore. CFOs believe in the value of per-unit cost measurements; CIOs don't know enough about accounting or finance to challenge their assumptions.
Cloudonomics Law No. 5, btw, is that the fixed costs (the 80 percent that keep IT from doing more than keeping the lights on) come down with the number of units of work. So a cloud company like Amazon will be able to build an infrastructure capable of handling far more transactions than any mid-sized company and most large ones, simply because of the economies of scale that come with volume purchases of hardware, software licenses and network bandwidth.
So, even companies paying a higher per-unit cost to an outside cloud provider than they would pay doing it in-house, is paying less that it would if it built the same cloud system itself.
Combine the two and it's clear that the Catch-22 is more an illusion caused by inertia than a real barrier in cost/benefit analyses of either work-hours available or budget being spent.
The trump to all this is that business units recognize that IT is stuck in a rut, but often credit it simply to being the kind of uncreative, unambitious fringe player that stays in a rut because it's safer there.
Business units, swelled with ambition, pride and the desire to embrace ad hoc'ery for the opportunities it brings (and, tell the truth, to keep from being bored spending all day selling things) go off and buy cloud services or SAAS apps or whatever other external IT services they think will help them get ahead, often without consulting IT.
That causes a lot of problems for IT in the short term, and for the business units in the long term, because IT loses control of the data security, application reliability and information-asset awareness for which it is responsible.
Business units, meanwhile, end up disappointed with the performance of cloud providers, mainly because they don't know how to write a contract with good outsourcing and SLA conventions, let alone know how to maintain that relationship.
That's the real Catch-22 – everyone ends up frustrated and performing poorly because their focus on the skills they bring to the table and satisfying their own need for performance-review-enhancing Goals to list makes the operation of the whole company less effective, damages their careers and fortunes in the long run and never does achieve the savings in cost and efficiencies in workflow and time they hoped would set the stage for other improvements.
Not a great situation. Too bad they couldn't have stayed for the rest of that seminar on cloud management; they might have figured out what tools they could use to solve the problem, not just what terminology they could use to best describe it.
** [Note: In the original version of this blog entry I mistakenly credited Kepes with co-authoring Cloudonomics, a term coined by top HP exec Joe Weinman, who also created a multidisciplinary framework to analyze the economics and effect of the cloud, has had a wide enough impact in the development of the cloud, written widely enough about cloud and Cloudonomics, modeled many of its effects and published enough academic papers about cloud computing to make it extremely difficult to attribute origination of the Cloudonomic school of thought to anyone else. The feat was accomplished with no assistance whatsoever by your humble author, who offers his apologies for making so unlikely a mistake.]

At least 4 Ukrainian soldiers killed in offensive against pro-Russian rebels
Ukraine's military suffered heavy casualties in a stepped-up offensive on pro-Russian rebels yesterday, as Europe and the head of the UN made a last-ditch diplomatic effort to reel the country back from the brink of civil war.
At least four Ukrainian servicemen were killed and 30 injured battling heavily armed insurgents around the flashpoint eastern town of Slavyansk as Russia warned the violence was putting peace in Europe in peril.
The interior ministry in Kiev said the pro-Russian gunmen controlling the town were using civilians as human shields and were shooting from houses, some of which were on fire.
"They are waging a war on us, on our own territory ... my mission is to eliminate the terrorists," Interior Minister Arsen Avakov told reporters near Slavyansk.
The head of Ukraine's national guard, Stepan Poltorak , said: "We have bottled them up in the centre" of Slavyansk, but added that "our adversaries are well-trained and well-equipped".
The advance on Slavyansk was part of a wider military operation in the east to root out the separatist insurgents, who are holding more than a dozen towns. The authorities retook control of the television tower near Slavyansk but lost a helicopter. The pilots survived.
Russia, which denies any hand in the violence, warned in a foreign ministry report yesterday that the unrest in Ukraine was now "fraught with such destructive consequences for Europe's peace, stability and democratic development that it is absolutely necessary to prevent it".
The report accused Ukrainian "ultra-nationalists" - who Moscow claims control Kiev's government - of rights violations on a "mass" scale. But Ukraine's interim president declared that it was Russian meddling that had brought war to his country.
Oleksandr Turchynov warned that pro-Russian provocateurs might stage violence in Kiev during Friday's celebrations marking the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in the second world war.
"War is in effect being waged against us, and we must be ready to repel this aggression," said Turchynov, who has placed Ukraine's armed forces on combat alert and reintroduced conscription amid fears of a Russian invasion.
The chairman of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Didier Burkhalter, was due in Moscow tomorrow amid calls for his group to mediate between Kiev and eastern separatists.

If you could share the age of your daughter, I think it will help us to get a better understanding of what sort of advice to offer.
I have children of all ages and do feel that shows about zombies due tend to change the energy of my children. They tend to be more cautious at night time and have a general fear of the dark.
Talking with your child about those particular shows will help open communication between the 2 of you. In doing so she may tell you that she does feel uncomfortable watching them...if so then you can help her find more age appropriate shows.

Hi sunnymumof5!
My daughter will be 3 years old next month. I was also expecting she'll be afraid of the dark or will be dreaming of zombies but she is not. Anyway, I try to make excuses each time she asks to watch zombie shows and give her her favorite animation. I think it will do for now.
Thanks for your time sharing.

Coral Childs Recognized by House Subcommittee
July 24, 2006
Contact: Andrew Gibbons, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC. – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced that Coral Childs was recognized last week by the U.S House Subcommittee on Federal Workforce and Agency Organization for her work with the agency's Computers for Learning (CFL) program. Ms. Childs is a program analyst in GSA's Office of Transportation & Personal Property.
Chairman Jon C. Porter of Nevada commended Ms. Childs for work "above and beyond in the federal workforce," and said she has "played a major role in trying to eliminate some of the technological divide across our country."
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton also offered congratulatory remarks. Chairman Porter presented Ms. Childs with a copy of the tribute he submitted to the Congressional Record.
The tribute credited the Computers for Learning program with helping to provide more than 118,000 computers and related equipment to over 12,000 schools around the nation. Ms. Childs played a key role in the marketing, outreach, and website implementation of the program and was instrumental in securing private sector support.
The subcommittee will be recognizing more federal employees in the future, but Ms. Childs was the first to receive this honor and recognition. Becky Rhodes, Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Transportation and Personal Property Policy, developed Computers for Learning at GSA.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing government-wide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

Bonster (30) Jersey Shore, New Jersey | August 4, 2009
My go-to spot to find something different. Great hole in the wall where you choose your bottle from a bookshelf. Nice selection of local and not so local microbrews. If he doesn't have it, he will try to hunt it down for you.
lyneebug (1) | June 7, 2007
Monaghan's is my go-to store for brew. The variety and selction of beers is the biggest in my area. The guys that work there are very helpful and usually reccomend a great new beer to try.
dmac (35) Toms River, New Jersey | April 26, 2007
This place is about two minutes from my house yet I find myself driving over a half hour to go to some other places. The place is dirty and I can't stand how the beer is displayed. A single bottle is placed out on one of two bookcases and you tell them what you want. There is no way of knowing by looking if it's a 6pak or a 4pak and prices, forget it NONE of them area marked. What if it's late at night and I appear drunk do I get a different price then Tuesday afternoon? Hardly any single bottles, bomber selection is rather limited and I just can't get over the feeling that I'm getting ripped off when I can't see any prices.
schoolofspool (4) Philadelphia , Pennsylvania | March 7, 2006
You wouldn't be able to tell from the exterior but this is the go to place in my neck of the woods. The usual east coast players plus a few harder to find (out here on the right coast) brews. Interesting merchandising for the stuff they have in packs (bottles on bookshelf) and a cooler with a decent selection of singles and bombers. Reasonably priced and a top notch staff.
BrockLanders (42) Panama City, Florida | December 15, 2005
In the old days (read that as 70's and 80's) this place was your generic macro beer store. My how times have changed. It's the only reason I'll drive down Rt 37 when in TR. I like that I can get the Heavyweight stuff here.
pineypower (27) Ocean County , New Jersey | September 7, 2005
Been going here a while now, got a good selection of the bigger brews you can get in single bottles and a nice selection of local and some far away micros you wouldn't expect them to have. looks like a hole in the wall, but worth it!
willblake (81) Bel Air, Maryland | August 22, 2005| Updated November 17, 2005
I've driven past this hole in the wall a thousand times and always kept on driving. Well, how could I have known. You choose the beer you want from a selection of about 150 bottles on a bookshelf. You tell the guy at the counter what you want. He goes in back and gets it for you. These guys had a better than average selection of all the available stuff, Heavyweight, Left Hand, Troegs, Weyerbacher, Victory, etc, etc. Some FFF bombers, and a nice selection of other single bombers, etc in a cooler. Good prices, friendly and helpful staff, too. I'll be making another trip to this joint, for sure.

Paul Laurence Dunbar
A Farm House By The River - Poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar
I know a little country place
Where still my heart doth linger,
And o'er its fields is every grace
Lined out by memory's finger.
Back from the lane where poplars grew
And aspens quake and quiver,
There stands all bath'd in summer's glow
A farm house by the river.
Its eaves are touched with golden light
So sweetly, softly shining,
And morning glories full and bright
About the doors are twining.
And there endowed with every grace
That nature's hand could giver her,
There lived the angel of the place
In the farm house by the river.
Her eyes were blue, her hair was gold,
Her face was bright and sunny;
The songs that from her bosom rolled
Were sweet as summer's honey.
And I loved her well, that maid divine,
And I prayed the Gracious Giver,
That I some day might call her mine
In the farm house by the river.
Twas not to be - but God knows best.
His will for aye be heeded!
Perhaps amid the angels' bliss,
My little love was needed.
Her spirit from its thralldom torn
Went singing o'er the river,
And that sweet life my heart shall mourn
Forever and forever.
She dies one morn at early light
When all the birds are singing,
And Heaven itself in pure delight
Its bells of joy seemed ringing.
They laid her dust where soon and late
The solemn grasses quiver,
And left alone and desolate
The farm house by the river.

Beijing (XNA) Sep 12, 2006
China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced on June 30 a plan to raise consumer electricity rates by 2.5 cents per kilowatt hour (KWH). A tiny fraction of the additional charge, 0.1 cent per KWH, will be used to develop renewable energy (RE), a senior NDRC official told Xinhua a few weeks later.
This was unprecedented, the official said. The money would be used to cover the portion of RE development costs that are higher than the average for conventional energies. The practice complies with the principle enshrined in the Renewable Energy Law (REL) that the extra costs of renewable energies should be shared by all end users of electricity across the country.
Earlier, on April 20, at the second gathering of the State Energy Leading Group (SELG), the highest authority in China on energy issues, Premier Wen Jiabao pointed out that renewable energy was strategically important. He urged all government departments concerned to take effective measures to accelerate the development of renewable energies, so as to "lift the share of quality, clean energies in the total energy mix".
China's energy industry has made impressive progress. Statistics show the production of primary energy reached 2.06 billion tons of coal equivalent last year. The figure marked a climb of 238percent over the figures for 1978. At the end of 2005,the country's total installed power generating capacity exceeded 500 million KW.
In the past two decades, growth in production supported a 5.16 percent average annual growth in primary energy consumption. However, GDP went up even faster, at an annual average of 9.6 percent. The result was a supply shortage that short-circuited in 2004, when 24 of the 32 provincial regions suffered power cuts. Last year's coal output, a record high and double the 2000 figure, was still not enough to meet market demand. Meanwhile, China's net imports of crude oil products climbed to 143 million tons, up from76 million tons five years ago.
Domestic energy resources are limited. In per capita terms, China is relatively poor in many energy resources. Its remaining exploitable reserves of petroleum, natural gas and coal equal merely 7.7 percent, 7.1percent and 58.6 percent of the world averages. At the current speed of extraction, experts say, the resources will last just 15, 30 and 80 years, respectively. The corresponding world averages are 45, 61 and 230 years.
The situation prompted the country's economic planners to look for alternative energy sources. Renewable energies were high on the wish list. Water power has a relatively long history in China, where 40,000-plus small hydropower facilities aggregate 34 million KW in capacity, the biggest hydropower park in the world.
Given its grave energy security concerns, China is stepping up efforts to develop renewable energies. According to the NDRC-prepared RE Medium- and Long-Term Development Program, renewable energies are expected to account for 16percent of the country's total energy mix by year 2020. Hydropower capacity will reach 300 million KW, wind power 30 million KW, biomass energy 30 million KW, and solar energy 1.8 million KW.
SELG members examined the Program at the April gathering. After making some modifications, it will be submitted to the State Council for final approval, a Xinhua report said in June.
China has three existing laws pertaining to energy issues: the Electricity Law, the Energy Conservation Law, and the Renewable Energy Law. The almost unanimous endorsement of the REL by the National People's Congress, the Chinese legislature, in February 2005, ahead of schedule, caught many people by surprise. The law became effective on 1 January 2006. A dozen or so implementation methods that accompany the law were made public about a month later. Methods for managing a special state fund for renewable energies and measures for giving RE projects discount loans and preferential tax treatment are reportedly being worked out.
Ma Kai, minister in charge of the NDRC, said in July that a focal point of government work for the period 2006-2010 was to enact an Energy Law and revise the Energy Conservation Law.
Relevant government departments vowed to see through the new legislation within two years. The Energy Law will deal with basic and strategic energy development issues in China. It will rely on economic leverage to regulate the energy sector, making sure that extravagant users of energy pay a higher price, and encourage the prospecting and extraction of energy reserves and the development of renewable and new energies, said sources who were closely involved in the drafting work.
Officials in local governments are enthusiastic about promoting RE projects. Their motives vary, though, from securing a lucrative source of government tax revenues, to building up a "green government" image and gaining plaudits for their personal work performance records. So-called "Green GDP" factors now have a considerable bearing on the government assessment of an official's job performance.
Companies, state-owned or private, domestic or foreign, are also eager to embrace RE projects, for reasons similar to those mentioned above, or out of a belief that the energy sector is a gold mine -- if not "is", surely "will be". And for some companies, state-owned enterprises in particular, the government's wishes are another driver. On a number of public occasions this year, NDRC deputy minister Zhang Guobao said a certain proportion of the products of big energy developers would have to come from renewable sources.
A major barrier that has prevented renewable energies from developing faster is the weakness China has shown in independent technology development. To date, most RE equipment or components used in China for wind power, biomass or solar energy, are imported, leading to high costs.
The problem has been acknowledged. The National Medium- and Long-Term (2006-2020) Program Outline for Scientific and Technological Development, released by the government in February, designated "energy" as the No. 1 area that "needs urgent S and T support". The document mapped out a host of government-supported plans covering key fields of study, cutting-edge technologies, big special programs, as well as basic research.
The push for renewable energies is not entirely driven by energy concerns. Environment factors are also critical. China ratified the Kyoto Protocol in May 1998. Although it was not obliged by the pact to meet a specific emission reduction quota, China is making efforts to show that it is a responsible member of the big global family. International cooperation is necessary in addressing problems such as dust storms because, more often than not, the dust that sweeps through Beijing a dozen times each year comes from abroad, said an official with the Beijing Meteorological Bureau.
And China has a promise to keep with the upcoming Olympic Games. In its bid to host the event years ago, Beijing pledged to stage a Green Olympics which would be more environmentally friendly than any previous Games. The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is expected to recruit a diverse selection of RE technologies. Its main venue, the Olympic Green, is to have 20percent of its power supplied by wind-sourced electricity.
According to statistics, 38 billion U.S. dollars were invested in RE development worldwide in 2005. China topped the list with a commitment of 6 billion U.S. dollars, which did not include its spending on large hydro projects.

World In No Danger Of Running Out Of Oil Says ExxonMobil Australia
Adelaide, Australia (AFP) Sep 11, 2006
Predictions that global oil supplies will soon run dry are wrong and crude will remain the main energy source well into the future, ExxonMobil Australia chairman Mark Nolan said Monday. Nolan told the Asia Pacific Oil and Gas Conference here that the oil industry had to counter perceptions a world oil shortage was imminent to ensure politicians adopted sound long-term policies on energy issues.

This Cheese Is Made From Human Noses, Feet And Armpits
I feel like I've been writing/talking about cheese a lot lately. I have no idea why. I barely even eat cheese. I need to explore this new cheese obsession more thoroughly. But that can wait.
First this: the cheese you see here is made by a woman named Christina Agapakis as part of collaborative study being conducted at the University of Edinburgh and Stanford University on Synthetic Aesthetics. Agapakis grew this cheese with bacteria from the human body. She describes her human cheesemonging process is as follows:
"Swabs from hands, feet, noses, and armpits were inoculated into fresh, pasteurized, organic whole milk and incubated overnight at 37° Celsius. The milk curds were then strained and pressed, yielding unique smelling fresh cheeses."
Yes, fantastic. One-of-a-kind human cheeses. But why? In a statement about the project, Agapakis says the following:
"The intersection of our interests in smell and microbial communities led us to focus on cheese as a 'model organism.' Many of the stinkiest cheeses are hosts to species of bacteria closely related to the bacteria responsible for the characteristic smells of human armpits or feet. Can knowledge and tolerance of bacterial cultures in our food improve tolerance of the bacteria on our bodies or in other parts of our life?"
Well, that ought to give me something to think about for the rest of the day. This could be the beginning of a cheese narcissism movement. You can order your own wheel of specially cultivated armpit or toe jam cheese and enjoy the smell and taste of yourself. OK, that was taking it too far. [Neatorama]

LG 34UC79G-B review
An affordable curved gaming screen with AMD FreeSync.
The AOC PDS241 is a gorgeously-designed monitor – but do aesthetics come at the expense of features?
Solid image quality and versatility make this a fine 1440p option.
An IPS display with LowBlue technology and a host of other business-friendly features.

NBA roundup: Knicks rout Jazz, Nets top Hawks
Credit: AP
NEW YORK — J.R. Smith scored 24 points and the New York Knicks shook off the absence of Carmelo Anthony and the shock of Amare Stoudemire needing more knee surgery to rout the slumping Utah Jazz 113-84 on Saturday night.
The Knicks learned earlier Saturday that Stoudemire will have right knee surgery that will sideline him approximately six weeks. But they still have plenty of scoring off the bench, with Steve Novak adding a season-high 20 points.

Revision history for Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex
5.90035 - Tue Mar 31 09:57:18 EDT 2015
Updates the deprecation message to reflect the fact that this module
has been dropped from Catalyst::Runtime.
[No meaningful code changes. No need to upgrade.]
5.90034 - Tue Mar 31 09:47:32 EDT 2015
Adds Catalyst::Runtime to list of prereqs.
- Catalyst::Runtime was not previously included as prereq as it caused
circular dependencies. As of v5.90060, Catalyst::Runtime no longer
includes this module as a prereq. Since that was released 14 months ago,
it should be relatively safe to include Catalyst::Runtime as a prereq.
Adds travis.ci integration.
[No code changes. No need to upgrade.]
5.90033 - Tue Jun 18 14:20:48 EDT 2013
- Fixes spelling of deprecation.
- Improves skips in tests.
- Adds env flag to suppress the deprecation warning message.
5.90032 - Fri Apr 12 22:44:58 EDT 2013
Removes Catalyst-Runtime as a dependency
While some cpan clients can handle circular dependencies, apparently not
all of them can. Of course, it is hard to imagine anyone installing this
without already having Catalyst installed, so dropping the Catalyst
requirement is unlikely to cause any real problems other than limiting
the automated testing.
5.90031 - Fri Apr 12 18:49:56 EDT 2013
Makes tests conditional on having Catalyst::Runtime 5.90030 installed
To ease the depreciation process Catalyst::Runtime is including
Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex as a requirement for a period of time.
This causes a circular dependency. The installers seem to be smart
enough to deal with the circular dependency, but the CDR tests fail
because Catalyst::Runtime 5.90030 isn't installed. The test will be
re-enabled once the requirement has been removed from Catalyst::Runtime.
5.90030 - Wed Apr 10 10:04:59 EDT 2013
Initial release of standalone Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex
The Regex dispatch types have been depreciated and removed from
Catalyst core. This distribution is being made available as a
fallback for developers who need the Regex dispatch type until
they can convert to Chaind methods or other alternative.
This distribution creates a separate DispatchType for each of
Regex, Regexp, LocalRegex, and LocalRegexp. Previously C::Dispatcher
converted all of these to Regex before passing it off to that
one dispatch type.
Dispatch order is no longer guaranteed to be Regex before LocalRegex.
It now depends on when the DispatchType is seen in a controller.

Author | Kalyan Kar | Saturday, Jul 21,2007 2:13 PM
There has been quite a lot of speculation for the past two months on the future of Chaitanya Kalbag, Editor-in-Chief, Hindustan Times. The word is finally out. As of Friday evening, July 20, 2007, Kalbag is not associated with the paper. It appears that after a meeting on Friday that Kalbag had with HT Media Vice-Chairperson Shobhna Bhartia and CEO Rajiv Verma, it was decided that Kalbag would step down. Kalbag had joined HT in September last year, moving in from Reuters Asia where he was Managing Editor.
CEO Verma could not be contacted for his official comments at the time of filing this report.
An old Reuters hand with wide international experience, Kalbag was brought in to take HT to the next level in terms of quality of content and editorial excellence. Kalbag brought in some changes in the paper and also inducted some senior editorial hands. Soon after joining HT last year, he brought in Rahul Sharma from Reuters Singapore as Resident Editor.
About a month ago, Pankaj Paul, a graphics and design expert based in the US, was brought in as Managing Editor of Hindustan Times. Paul had worked in American like The News Journal, The Palm Beach Post and The Philadelphia Daily News. He moved in from The News Journal at Wilmington, where he was Managing Editor for niche and new initiatives.
However, feathers began to be ruffled among the existing guard at HT, leading to a large number of resignations over the months at various levels including section heads. This exodus became a matter of concern, according to sources in the company. Some of the senior editorial hands who quit made no bones about the fact that they were "uncomfortable with Kalbag's style of management".
Kalbag on his own part maintains that he came in with the intention of making HT into a world class paper of international standards. Despite his best intentions, it appears that the script did not quite work out that way, leading to his departure in slightly less than a year.

The sad news was received Tuesday of the death of J.E.B. Good on that day of typhoid fever. Mr. Good had been very sick for a month, but it was thought he would recover. It seemed God's will to sever the slender thread which joined the spirit to habitments of the clay and Friend Good has crossed to the other shore; his work on earth has been finished. The funeral service was held at the Baptist Church, Rev. Tutman officiated. Mr. Good spent the most of his life in newspaper work. He edited a paper at Blair for a few years and moved to the Southwest part of Rock County and took a homestead. He established the Prairie Queen at Newport and later moved to Long Pine where he purchased the Journal which he has owned ever since. He purchased and edited the Ainsworth Star-Journal for 2 years and sold it to the present owner. He was a spicy and entertaining writer and given somewhat to satire and jocularity, but often lapsed into sound and able reasoning, which in clear contrast with his expressions of levity marked his soberness of judgment and ability. Mr. Good had few enemies and perhaps more friends than any other newspaperman in this part of the state. He was an active and tireless worker and was always cheerful. He was an active partisan but his writings were of a healthy moral tone. The deceased leaves a wife and 3 little children to mourn his loss.

The happy event will be long remembered by the 70 guests present nearly all of whom were related to the brides or grooms by birth or marriage.

Steggall and Washington both residing in Oelwein, IA. They have 35 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, all of whom are living and enjoying good health. The aged couple are enjoying good health and appear at least 20 years younger than they really are. They are joyful, full of life, and Father Time with his scythe has no terror for them at present.
The young bride, Miss Maud Menuey, daughter of J.B. Menuey and the groom, Edward Riley are both well known and well respected in this vicinity.

Each week I'll write about the sport I love, college basketball:
• Bill Self is not afraid of a challenge. That is why Kansas has put together a great non-league schedule. The Jayhawks have the likes of Ohio State and Kentucky, a trip to USC, plus the Maui Invitational, which includes Duke, Memphis, UCLA, Georgetown, Tennessee and Michigan. That is a great tune-up for Big 12 play, my friends.
• New Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak is taking his team into a tough situation also. His Utes are part of the field in the Battle 4 Atlantis down in the Bahamas on during Thanksgiving week. The field includes defending champion Connecticut, Florida State, Harvard and the College of Charleston, to name a few. There are some pretty good coaches in Hall of Famer Jim Calhoun, Leonard Hamilton, Tommy Amaker and Bobby Cremins.
• I have said it many times. Some young men make questionable decisions. That is the best way to describe the actions of Jamal Coombs-McDaniel of the national champion Connecticut Huskies. He was arrested after he and two others were in possession of marijuana. That was not a wise decision.
• I originally had Texas in my top three for next season. That was until Tristan Thompson, Jordan Hamilton and Cory Joseph announced plans to enter the draft. I will come out with a new top five after May 8, the deadline for players to stay in or withdraw from the draft.
• I was surprised to see that George Washington decided to let Karl Hobbs go after 10 seasons as head coach. I guess when a school hires a new athletic director, as they did by when they brought in Patrick Nero, he wants to make his own moves.
• Congratulations to the winners from my Sunkist Catchphrase contest. The overall winner was Ron Cottom from Mississippi! The other weekly winners included Dale Dedrich Jr. of Wisconsin; Christobal Flores of Michigan; Gerard Meltzer of Pennsylvania; Donna Reiden of Illinois; Michael Casale of North Carolina; John Solomos of Illinois; and Jason DiFanco of Ohio.

Christmas time is closing in on us. Anyone getting stressed??? I can assure you, I am. On top of all the usual Christmas preparations, I have one dh turning 40 in two days and one ds turning 9 in ten. One of the Christmas traditions we have, is the making of gingerbread cookies, and the kids LOVE it. Fortunately we managed to find time to do that on Sunday, so now I only have to find time to decorate them. Probably today...... Here are some images to give you some inspiration and maybe motivate you to do some baking. Today's Christmas calender challenge at CASAkreativ is just about that; take pictures of your Christmas baking and try to capture the mood and the emotions. You can see it was a family happening and I think it is pretty clear that they enjoyed it..... Happy baking...

High Reflectance
ReflecTech®PLUS mirror film has high reflectance in the wavelength range important for sunlight. In the graph below, hemispherical reflectance of the film is plotted on the left axis while the irradiance of sunlight is plotted on the right axis, both as functions of wavelength. The solar weighted average of hemispherical reflectance is 93%.
Accelerated Ultraviolet Test
In November, 2011, ReflecTech®PLUS surpassed the 30 year mark in an ongoing demonstration of durability against ultraviolet (UV) radiation using the Ultra-Accelerated Weathering Station (UAWS) at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
UAWS is the most accelerated method to determine the long-term durability of a material to outdoor exposure. Natural sunlight is concentrated 50 X while sample exposure temperatures are maintained at 30°C and 60°C to accelerate degradation mechanisms.After receiving the equivalent cumulative UV dose of over 30 years outdoor exposure, no degradation and no loss in reflectance were measured in three replicate samples.
Resistance to Moisture Induced Lamination
ReflecTech®PLUS mirror film demonstrated complete resistance to delamination during an extended water immersion test, conducted at NREL. In this graph, ReflecTech® is compared to ECP 305+, a mirror film that was removed from the market by its manufacturer due to its propensity to delaminate when exposed to moisture.
ReflecTech®PLUS mirror film is a silvered polymer film that is:
High Reflectance
Outdoor Weatherable
Ultra Lightweight
Commercially Proven
Low Cost
Self Adhesive
Abrasion Resistant
ReflecTech®PLUS mirror film was developed in partnership with the
U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
(U.S. Patent No. 6,989,924)
"ReflecTech® polymer film is a viable alternative to glass mirrors, offers comparable performance and durability, and is not susceptible to breakage as are glass mirrors."
