Jenni Kayne's 7 Spring Cleaning Laundry Essentials
(March 21-April 20)
Aries Men: James Franco, Michael Fassbender, Alec Baldwin, Jon Gosselin, Russell Crowe, Hugh Hefner, Vince Vaughn, Steven Tyler, Pharrell Williams, Marlon Brando, Heath Ledger, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogan
His Virtues: Why You'll Love Him
1. He's your hero.
Courageous Aries love to swoop in and save a damsel in (apparent) distress. At the same time, he loves a strong woman with a mind of her own. But capable women have needs, too, right? The Aries man's inner knight-in-shining-armor is on high alert for whenever your day needs saving. Send out that S.O.S. if you want to reel him in.
2. He loves a beautiful mind.
Aries rules the brain, and this guy is quite a thinker. Even if his physical taste in women can veer toward the stripper pole, he needs someone who can hold court in an intelligent conversation. Somehow, the man of this sign can be a feminist and a chauvinist in one. (The personal is not always political—not when you're an Aries man, that is.) When all is said and done, he's attracted to women of all shapes, sizes, and colors as long as there's mental chemistry and passion between you. Multiple college degrees or an impressive roster of accomplishments are a bonus, since he loves to brag about the lady in his life.
3. The pursuit has never been hotter.
When the single-minded Ram is turned on, his quest to make you his can be all consuming. Aries' ardent attempts to melt your defenses will be oh-so hot and nearly impossible to resist. Even if you think he's a bit of a boor, his caveman-esque lack of nuance could push a prehistoric button in your brain, making you go gaga for his unga-bunga (though admittedly charismatic) ways. Before you know it, you'll be shedding your clothes for the most uninhibited romps of your life.
His Vices: Why He'll Drive You Mad
1. Attention deficit disorder?
The mastery-minded Aries man pours his complete focus into one thing at a time—which is awesome when that's YOU, but notsomuch when it isn't. Trying to pry him away from his obsession du jour can drive you mad. You may need to pick up his caveman club and whack him over the head to get his attention. And sadly, it doesn't hurt if you're wearing one of those skimpy cavegirl outfits either. Consider yourself warned.
2. Pipe dreams.
Like an adventurous knight, the Aries man is forever in pursuit of thrilling new conquests—especially ones that give him the independence (read: no boss) that he craves. While you'll want to support his starry-eyed dreams, you might also get stuck footing the bills or holding down the fort while he eagerly chases another potentially unrealistic idea. You may soon play the secondary role of wrangler/handler, keeping this sometimes-naïve guy from investing in a pyramid scheme or blowing the family fortune as he drifts between risky ventures.
3. Tap dancing around his ego=exhausting.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so there's a "macho baby" in every Ram. Underneath the bravado that first turned you on, this guy can be rather needy. You may need to cut him off when he goes on another tirade about how "the man" is keeping him down, or how nobody appreciates his rare brand of genius. There's a delicate balance here: You don't want to pander to his inflated ego trips, but you don't want to crush his spirit either. If you want to keep an Aries around for the long haul, you need to preserve his sense of specialness. You never know—he just might become the star he already believes himself to be.
(April 21-May 20)
Taurus Men: Dev Patel, David Beckham, George Clooney, Jay Leno, Enrique Iglesias, Al Pacino, Robert Pattinson, Tim McGraw, Channing Tatum, Henry Cavill, Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Pierce Brosnan, Djimon Hounsou, David Boreanaz
His Virtues: Why You'll Love Him
1. Loyalty.
Like El Toro charging at his target, the Taurus man knows what he wants and enters commitments for the long haul. Sure, it might take this guy a while to be certain that you're "the One." He might even subject you to a series of checkpoints to make sure there are no dealbreakers (poor etiquette, bad bedside manner, a lack of maternal instinct). Once Taurus fixes his mind on something, the stubborn Bull doesn't change it readily.
2. He wants a wife and he's not afraid to say it.
While many guys would flee when you bring up the m-word (marriage), Taurus might be the first one to invoke it. He has a dream, and it's to make some lucky woman his wife, build a family and share blissful creature comforts forever. True, there are a couple of notorious bachelors in this sign's ranks (we're looking at you, George Clooney), but even those guys are serial monogamists. If you're looking to settle down or to have a traditional life in the 'burbs, Taurus might just be your guy.
3. He has better taste than you.
Taurus rules the zodiac's sensual second house of material pleasures. This man could have a signature cocktail, a bespoke suit maker, and refined knowledge about high-end living. Dancer Fred Astaire and poet Robert Browning were both born under this sign. The metrosexual Taurus knows what vetiver is (and can identify it as the base note of any cologne), name-checks his favorite couturier and can advise on wine pairings or linen thread count. Even the more down-to-earth or blue-collar Taurus is still particular about food, music, texture, smells and such. He might pretend to keep it real, but when presented with an option of lesser quality, his discriminating tastes come out.
His Vices: Why He'll Drive You Mad
1. Materialism.
Indulgent much? You might find your Taurus to be vain, hedonistic and wasteful at times. While it's fun to have him as a shopping partner, his carbon footprint is bigger than Sasquatch's tracks. While Taurus might be a great provider, he can spend money as fast as he makes it. Mo' money, mo' stuff, mo' problems.
2. Inflexibility.
The downside of dating such a discriminating dude? Taurus can be TOO set in his ways, lacking imagination and self-awareness. Getting this guy to change anything more than his outfit (which could happen several times a day) could be a heroic effort. His refusal to veer off the beaten path with food, social activities, friendships and such can make life with a Taurus feel like the movie Groundhog Day. Boredom can set in unless one of you mixes things up.
3. Stubborn pride (that goeth before a you-know-what).
Taurus is who he is, and his matter-of-fact ways can be refreshing…to a point. Taken too far, those bullish views can also veer into bigotry. Everyone must evolve, but personal growth and other "trends" can pass him by. To wit: Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson, a Taurus, nearly tanked his viewership with racist comments that he continues to defend. Even a Taurus with progressive politics can be dogmatic about his values. The woman who wins over Taurus will need to be strong enough to get in his face from time to time, standing her ground and challenging him when he gets stuck in a rut.

Connecting with Teens
I'll admit right up front that working with teens has never been my strong suit. I've always found it difficult to relate to them. I chalk it up to the fact that I never really went through that "teen angst" phase of life, never really had a rebellious phase - I actually got along with my parents most of the time. So, when I worked as a counselor, I always struggled to find the right things to say to teens and to make a connection with them.
I think that is why I have such a deep appreciation for those that have a gift for working with young people. I've been thinking about this a bit lately, as we are recognizing Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. I know several people who have dedicated years of their life to working with teens. But the one person that I respect the most is my mother.
About 7 years ago, my mom recognized that there were several "tween" girls attending her church, but the church lacked programs and groups for them. Now, many people might go to the church leaders and suggest they do something about it. Not my mom. My mom decided to start a weekly group with these young girls in her home. For several years, my mom and her friend took these young girls, many of whom were struggling at home and school, under their wings - holding a weekly group, having sleepovers, and hosting movie and craft nights. That quickly branched out to my mom attending the girls' sporting events, offering them rides to school events, and generally just being a positive presence in the lives of these girls. Was it always easy? No. Did they try my mom's patience? Absolutely. But what has developed out of all of that is this: over the years, my mom has created an open space and developed a trusting relationship with these girls. This has allowed them to come to her and talk about anything and everything, from relationship issues to major life decisions (5 out of the 7 girls will soon be heading to college). I'm constantly amazed and inspired by my mom. She has shown me the importance of being involved in the life of a young person. And I know that each one of them will treasure the relationships that have been cultivated for years to come.
If each community, church, or school had a handful of people willing to get involved in a child's life, think about the positive things that would come of that. There are many programs, both local and national (Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Boys & Girls Clubs, just to name a few), that are in desperate need of volunteers. Stop It Now! offers great information about creating safe spaces for kids in youth serving organizations.
We know that having positive, healthy relationships with trusted adults is one of the many protective factors that are important in preventing violence in the lives of young people. So, how are you making a difference in the life of a teen? Share your story with us by commenting below.

More Chance of Being Trampled By a Herd of Elephants!Probability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
Leftclick Lotteries Inc. runs a lottery in which 5 balls are drawn from a barrel of numbered white balls (so that each white ball may be drawn once only), and 1 ball is drawn from a different barrel of numbered black balls. There are 45 white balls and 45 black balls. Players must correctly select the numbers of all 5 white balls, as well as that of the black ball in order to win the main prize.
What is the probability of winning the main prize with any single given entry?
AnswerThe probability of winning the main prize is 1 in 54,979,155.
The probability of winning is the probability of guessing each ball correctly. For the black ball, this is 1/45. For each white ball, it is 5/45 (there are 5 correct balls out of 45 possible), 4/44 (there is 1 less correct ball and 1 less to choose from), 3/43, 2/42 and 1/41. This gives a probability of winning of 1 in 45*(45!)/(40!)*(5!), or 1 in 54,979,155.
The title is an expression that describes an event as being highly unlikely. Of course, the actual chance of being trampled by a herd of elephants is very difficult to measure and varies widely!

Baby Elephant Baby Shower Ideas
I'm a BIG elephant lover - anyone who knows me, knows they're my absolute favorite. So, it's no surprise that I always enjoy looking at elephant anything, but when I stumbled across this elephant baby shower over at The Modest Homestead there was something more that inspired me in addition to all the elephant eye candy.
I'm a BIG elephant lover - anyone who knows me, knows they're my absolute favorite. So, it's no surprise that I always enjoy looking at elephant anything, but when I stumbled across this elephant baby shower over at The Modest Homestead there was something more that inspired me in addition to all the elephant eye candy.
I've been to lots of baby showers and have scrolled through even more than I can count on the Web. LeAnn from The Modest Homestead's elephant baby shower she hosted for her little sister impressed and inspired me because she made it so much about that new little bundle of joy than anything else. She also did a stellar job of pulling together lots of patterns and colors to create this look.
Nearly all of her baby shower decorations can be repurposed as decor for baby Ava's nursery and while all of the decor makes such a beautiful display, it's a design that's very attainable for even the most amateur planner.
Take a peek at some of the shower highlights we loved so much, then head over to the Modest Homestead to see even more!
LeAnn's decision to incorporate the baby's name in her decorations is sweet, but also reflective of the overall fact that this shower is meant for baby. Keep clicking through to see just what we mean - from decor to games, this elephant baby shower was all about celebrating little Ava!
Another note, everything in this decorative display, from those letters to the stuffed elephants to the fabric circles, can actually be used to decorate the baby's nursery. Extra points for that!
On top of those decorations in the display, we thought LeAnn took the whole bunting banner display to a new, even more amazing level by using an assortment of girly clothing that matched her color scheme and theme so perfectly.
Another focal point of this pastel hued elephant baby shower was the dessert table LeAnn set up. We absolutely think the addition of the little cabana takes this dessert table display from nice to fabulous. It gives it added height, dimension and also enhances the elephant theme perfectly!
Among all the treats on LeAnn's dessert display were cupcakes and a cake. As sweet as the cupcakes were - especially with those adorable toppers - we can't help but swoon over the cake. The romantic and whimsical swirl design is one we never tire of seeing and it added such a chic appeal to the display here.
There was another cake at the shower, too. While guests couldn't enjoy a bite of the diaper cake, it made for a perfect party decoration as well as themed baby shower gift. We can really appreciate that adorable mini elephant bunting and the personalized name embellishment - with just that and a couple of basic supplies, LeAnn got herself a statement making centerpiece for her party!
LeAnn had a few activities set up at her sister's baby shower for guests to enjoy. Decorating baby supplies like onesies and bibs has become a popular baby shower activity choice of late and we're impressed with the selection of supplies she gave her guests. In a bit of a twist, rather than have guests offer baby advice for the mom-to-be, she gave each guest a card to fill out with advice and wishes for baby.
As big nail polish fans we couldn't help but gush over this baby shower game prize! As if OPI's cleverly named polish wasn't sweet enough, the little elephant tag LeAnn added gives it even more charm.
As guests left the shower LeAnn had a table full of body scrubs in mini mason jars ready to hand out to everyone - perhaps a nod to the mud baths actual elephants enjoy so much? Regardless, this body scrub is a great baby shower favor you can make that guests are guaranteed to appreciate!

Paul runs into Emily at the hospital, and she tells him Patty still thinks she's married to Jack. Jack goes into Patty's room and they look through a photo album from their childhood days. Paul says he wishes he had done things differently and they begin singing a song. Patty then tells Paul that if Jack left her, she'd hurt him again. At the Club, Jack is leaving a voice mail for Emily just as Phyllis storms in. She tells him about Daniel and Amber being engaged and wants his help with the matter. He refuses to get involved and tells her she needs to relax, or Daniel won't come to her if he ends up needing help. After Phyllis leaves, Emily comes into the Club and joins Jack for dinner. They discuss Patty and Jack having been married to her. As dinner ends, Jack suggests that they go on a date.
On the rooftop of their apartment, Daniel proposes that he and Amber get married tonight, and Amber excitedly accepts. Katherine shows up and ends up agreeing to marry them. Daniel goes to give the good news to Kevin and Jana, while Amber calls up Lauren for a dress. Lauren's tells her she has the perfect dress for her, and heads over to the roof top. Meanwhile, at the coffee house, Jana gives the sudden wedding a thumbs down since it's taking place on Friday the 13th. Kevin and Daniel tell her not to worry, and they head out of Crimson Lights.
Also at Crimson are Ryder and Gloria. Ryder tells her that he's nothing like Tom, but understood her having reservations about him. He then spots Deacon at a table and goes over to spill the beans about Amber and Daniel getting married that night. Phyllis then walks in and Deacon dishes the news to her, after which Phyllis promptly takes off.
On the rooftop, Jana, Amber, Kevin, and Murph are decorating, while Katherine and Daniel are officializing her credentials online. Lauren arrives with the dress and the girls go to get ready. The ceremony soon begins, and Murph walks Amber out. Phyllis bursts in, asking if she's too late. She begins a rant about not wanting them to rush this and Amber tries to make her understand why it's a good thing. Ultimately, Phyllis unhappily backs off and the ceremony continues. They improvise the rings and the vows are said, Jana and Phyllis look on, less than thrilled. Kaye pronounces them man and wife and the couple kisses. An unidentified person is watching them from a distance through binoculars and smashes them to the ground.
At Jimmy's, Cane, Billy and Mac are still debating back and forth about the whole surrogacy ordeal. Cane wants him to think about Lily, but Billy goes off on him. Cane leaves and Mac starts in on Billy, talking about how it's her decision and compares him being supportive of her, as she was supportive of him backing Restless Style. They then talk about how they're different people (Mac being a huge bore, while Billy is a loveable bad boy), but Billy assures her that their love for each other is all that matters. Nonetheless, Mac thinks they aren't the same people they used to be, and she leaves. Billy is alone at the bar, listening to the jukebox and drinking. He ends up beating up the jukebox out of frustration. Meanwhile, Cane is visiting Lily at the hospital. He tells her he isn't so sure about Mac being the surrogate, but she believes it will work out. Mac arrives, assuring them she will make good on her offer.

We've posted our Open Government Plan 2.0 update, which reflects our continuing commitment to the principles of openness and accountability. This refreshed plan includes additional input we received from Open Government stakeholders, the public and our employees; summarizes the progress we have made in implementing Open Government principles at our agency; and outlines additional commitments we expect to meet in the future.
On April 7, 2010, we published our first Open Government Plan. We published a revision on June 24, 2010, following additional review and feedback. We made several commitments in our plan, and will share our progress with you regularly. Below is our report on milestones.

Goal IV: Make Open Government Sustainable
Participate in cross–government workgroups and share best practices

• viridescent •
Pronunciation: vi-rê-des-ênt • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Beginning to turn green, greenish.
Notes: This word comes with a shorter fraternal twin, virescent, which we may use when we need the sense of today's Good Word, but are in a hurry. We know they come from the same family, because they share the same lexical root, vir-. Of course, we always form the noun from adjectives on -ent or -ant by simply adding an [s] sound, and spelling the nouns viridescence and virescence.
In Play: You know how beautiful trees are early in the spring when they are just beginning to unfurl their leaves, which have not yet turned fully green? This is the word to describe them: "The crocuses, hyacinths and daffodils were resplendent in full colors beneath the majestic arches of viridescent elms." Although some have used this word in the sense of "greenish", the actual meaning is "becoming green". So try it like this, too: "Maude, how do you feel? You look a bit viridescent, as though you were about to throw up."
Word History: Today's Good Word came from Late Latin viridescen(t)s "greening", the present participle of viridescere "to become green". A shorter form of this word is virescere "to become green", whose participle gave us the shorter adjective virescent with the same meaning as today's Good Word. This is the 'verbed' form of Latin viridis "green", which French turned into verd-, then vert "green". We find the root verd- in verdant "green with plant life" and verdure "greenery", both of which we borrowed from French. (We thank Mary Jane Stoneburg, one of the editors of the Good Word series, for dreaming of spring's viridescence and suggesting we add today's bit of springiness to our series.)

View: Criminal complaint
Ontario -- Police have arrested an Ontario man on suspicion of beating his girlfriend's 2 1/2-year-old son to death.
Michael Lucero, 20, was booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga and formally charged with the child's death, police said.
The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office filed a criminal complaint alleging Lucero committed abuse of the toddler that resulted in the boy's death.
The child was brought to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Fontana after he lost consciousness at his home Thursday shortly after midnight in the 1100 block of East Philadelphia Street.
Paramedics later took him to Loma Linda University Medical Center where he died.
Police said Lucero provided child care for the victim while his girlfriend was at work.
"This investigation is still ongoing," said police spokesman Cpl. Bill Russell. "Detectives are trying to determine if there was a propensity for violence and if anyone else knew this was occurring. "
Police have said the boy's mother hasn't been labeled a suspect at this time.
"It's still undetermined if she knew Lucero had a history of violent behavior with her son," Russell said.
The death occurred hours before the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office announced its "Justice for Children" program on Thursday.
"Sadly, in our office, we see far too many cases of child abuse and witness first-hand all the appalling stories associated with each crime," District Attorney Michael Ramos said. "We as a community need to take this time to come together and make a commitment to stand up for our most vulnerable victims not just during the month of April, but all year long. "
In 2012, according to the DA's Office, 1,550 criminal child abuse related cases were filed in San Bernardino County.
That same year, 5 children were murdered.
Lucero is being held without bail, according to jail records.
The San Bernardino County Coroner's Office hadn't released the autopsy report as of Monday afternoon.
Anyone with information is asked to call Ontario police at 909-986-6711 or Detective Justin Johnson at 909-395-2864.

Greg Marshall
Fellow (2013-2014)
Photograph by Gerald Kooyman
Photograph by Mark Thiessen
Greg Marshall is an inventor, biologist, conservationist, and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker who has dedicated his life to studying, exploring, and documenting animal life in the oceans and across the globe.
Marshall's most celebrated contribution to the research community is the invention of the National Geographic Crittercam, a small, lightweight, streamlined camera that has the remarkable ability to travel unobtrusively with its animal hosts where no camera has been before, capturing never before seen footage of the private lives of wild animals.
Marshall's inspiration for Crittercam came during a diving expedition off Belize during which he encountered a large shark and a remora—a natural hitchhiker fish suckled to the shark's side. Imagining the unique point of view of this tiny stowaway and the profound information such a perspective would provide for science and conservation, Marshall conceived a remote camera that would mimic the remora's behavior—and the field of animal-borne imaging research was born. Marshall has since dedicated his life to researching the behavior of marine and terrestrial species across the globe, heading up over a hundred field expeditions worldwide and collaborating in cutting-edge behavioral studies of over 70 species, from lions to emperor penguins to humpback whales.
In addition to publishing with his collaborators in major journals, Marshall has through his Crittercam research provided a dazzling library of imagery from the perspective of animals in the wild. This footage has been used in over 70 National Geographic documentaries, including a 13-part National Geographic television series, numerous PBS/NBC/NGC specials, and 60 short films airing on PBS's Wild Chronicles series.
Marshall has given hundreds of talks and was one of the founding speakers for National Geographic's Speakers Bureau. He was recently featured in CNBC's "10 of the World's Coolest Jobs." As Marshall continues to explore new approaches to research and imagemaking, his mission remains to share the experiences of wild animals in ways that make their lives immediate and relatable to humans. Through his research, films, lectures, and conservation efforts, Marshall brings the outdoors inside, creating windows into the natural world that allow animals to show us their world—their struggles, their challenges, and their triumphs.

I am 75 years old in a couple of months & New to rifle hunting - last two years. Have shot four whitetail (2 Buck & 2 doe) - Buck & doe in Black Hills of SD & same for East River SD. As I'm on "retirement income" for all practical purposes, I've been hunting 100% public land. Would really like to shoot an Elk before I 'croak, but #1 ... do not want to shoot one that is "fenced in" and #2 ... would like to keep to cost down to "reasonable"; a few hundred dollars for a guide or something at the most if possible. I'll probably NEVER get an Elk license in my home state of SD, so assume I'm going to need to go to Wyoming, Montana, Colorado or Idaho. ANY advice would be most appreciated.
I am an experienced sportsman from the standpoint of shotgun hunting (ducks, geese and pheasant) and fishing of all types (freshwater and saltwater) and yes........ I am in good health; can walk!

Dive? Controversy dogs Brazil victory
Goal from a controversial penalty, and star-striker Neymar lucky to avoid a red card in Brazil's 3-1 victory over Croatia.PT0M57S http://www.watoday.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-3a193 620 349 June 13, 2014
Furious Croatia coach Niko Kovac says the Japanese referee in his side's 3-1 defeat to Brazil was ''out of his depth'' after a bitterly disputed penalty changed the course of the World Cup opener.
The unfancied European team took a shock lead when Marcelo scored an own goal in the 11th minute before Neymar levelled.
Croatia, ranked 18th in the world, were holding their own in the second half until referee Yuichi Nishimura pointed to the spot after Fred backed into Croatian defender Dejean Lovren and fell.

''If anybody saw that was a penalty, let them raise their hand. I cannot raise my hand. I didn't see it,'' said Kovac.
''If you continue in this vein then there will be 100 penalties during this World Cup.''
Kovac branded the spot kick award ''ridiculous'', saying he blamed himself for not saying during Wednesday's press conference that he would be ''keeping a beady eye on the referee''.

Kovac warned the World Cup could become a "circus" after the awarding of a soft 71st-minute penalty to hosts Brazil.
Neymar scored his second goal of the game from the spot to put Brazil 2-1 ahead, and they went on to win 3-1.
Kovac was left fuming by the decision.

"This was ridiculous today, and if we continue in this way we will have a circus," he told reporters at a post-match press conference dominated by questions about the penalty.
"If that's a penalty, we don't need to play football any more. Let's play basketball instead. The lads played their hearts out but that was outright thuggery by a referee who was just out of his depth for a game of this magnitude."
After that shocking decision I will be very surprise if this referee take charge of another game in this World Cup. #BrazilvsCroatia

Kovac, who said his team deserved at least a draw from a match played at a packed Corinthians arena in Sao Paulo, also felt Oscar's third goal near the end of the game should not have been allowed due to a foul earlier in the move.
"Was there a foul on my player? Yes. It was a foul. But that's life. We will march on. We will not be swayed."

Kovac, stony-faced yet calm, praised his team, which took the lead in the 11th minute after an own goal by Marcelo, and had several scoring chances during the rest of the match.
"My lads have fought for two years to reach the World Cup. They worked hard, prepared, and then they were faced with such a penalty decision here. You can imagine walking into our dressing room - what kind of mood my lads are in."
Fred goes down
Nishimura ruled that Croatia's Dejan Lovren had fouled Fred, who appeared to throw himself to the ground, but Kovac did not blame the Brazilian for the incident.
"The referee was well-placed, he was not unsighted, he saw everything and he took that decision. I don't blame Fred at all."
Despite the setback, Kovac said he remained confident his team could progress out of the group. In their other two Group A games, Croatia play Cameroon in the hot and humid Amazon city of Manaus on June 18 and Mexico in Recife five days later.
"I am optimistic," he told Croatian television. "Naturally the lads are a bit down after this, but we will be up again as soon as we've had something to eat. We just have to make our way into the knockout stages because we are definitely good enough."
Kovac said he looked forward to welcoming back Mario Mandzukic into the team for the next two games, after he was suspended for the opening encounter.


text: Tispe 1468 Report post Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Hi, I have rewritten my project several times to adapt to new game structures. I do this to conform to rules such as, no static or global variables, no singleton patterns and the single responsibility principle. The application consist of class objects. I often find myself creating a "super" class to only make one instance of it. Such as a Renderer class. This class handles the window, resolution, fullscreen toggle and draws the scene. Another class is the Asset Manager, one instance is created and it handles loading files and preparing them for later use. It keeps an array of all assets. Since the Asset Manager needs the device to create resources (VB, IB, Textures) in the managed pool, I keep a private pointer to the device in Asset Class and make a copy in the constructor. This cross object dependancy is to conform to the "rules", maybe there is a better solution? The Entity class has one instance, it has a list of (pointers to) Player objects (struct). These player structs contain information such as what Skeleton to use, what Mesh to use, and character variables. When rendering I pass the list of Entities to the renderer which looks up the Asset Manager for the resources and draws them as described in the Player object. There are also other classes such as the animator and gui but I kept those out to keep it short. Is this a good game structure? What should I pay attention to, and are there any other game structures I should consider? The pseudo-code: main(){ InputOutputClass IO; DeviceClass Renderer; AssetClass Assets(Renderer.GetDevice()); EntityClass Entities; GuiClass Gui(Renderer.GetDevice()); MainLoop(Renderer, Assets, Entities, IO, Gui); } Edited May 23, 2013 by Tispe 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/4/2013 (1576 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Wave season is the time -- from January to March -- when the people running the analytics departments for cruise lines dig through reams of data and determine sale prices for the year.
This year, they have gone beyond the traditional wave season.
More perks than "sale prices," these deals are designed to entice you to cruise in 2013. Some offerings are for particular destinations; some stretch into 2014.
For instance, Windstar is offering two-for-one cruises and two complimentary hotel nights with each cruise on a sale that ends April 27.
Azamara Club Cruises has an April sale for cruises from Aug. 1 to July 2014, a double-category upgrade and a Choice Air cruise credit of $1,000 per stateroom or 25 per cent off shore excursions, with some qualification.
Oceania will give you (on select sailings) a $140 shipboard credit and 50 per cent-reduced deposits, plus free airfare, gratuities and free Internet.
Rather than send you to the cruise lines' websites, I suggest you contact a travel agent who specializes in cruises because, as with every sale, there is some all-important small print.
If you're wondering about river-cruising sales, there is not much at this point.
Funny cruiser complaints
Hopefully, I'm going to put a smile on your face this week. This comes your way courtesy of Bonvoyage.co.uk, a British online travel agency. It is a sample of some of the complaints from passengers and -- would you believe it? -- no references to missing ports, ship delays or emergencies.
-- A lady on a Mediterranean cruise was unhappy with the sound of the sea, claiming it was too loud and kept her from having a good night's sleep. She wanted her cabin to be "better soundproofed against the sounds of the sea."
-- Two people on a Mediterranean cruise complained the captain was "rude" by failing to comply with the couple's plans. Before going ashore, they left him a note advising they would return to the ship two hours later than the posted departure time, due to having "too much to do in port." When the captain left on time without them, the couple had to catch the ship at another port the next day and wanted to be compensated for the costs of getting there.
-- A woman on a Celebrity ship demanded a full refund simply because she didn't see any "celebrities" on board. According to her, the company was guilty of "false advertising" because there were none on the ship.
-- Finally, a woman expressed her disappointment that her inside cabin did not have a window facing the sea. Furthermore, she claimed nobody on board was able to install a window for her so she could enjoy the view, and she expected "better service next time."
Phil's pick of the week
This cruise is leaving next month, and remember, the price shown was available at the time of writing and is based on per-person double occupancy and does not include fees and taxes.
The cruise leaves May 28, sailing from Venice to Barcelona over 12 days on the Carnival Legend. Ports are Venice for an overnight, Dubrovnik, Messina, Naples, Rome, Florence, Palma de Mallorca, then into Barcelona.
Starting price is $699 (see Carnival.com or your agent).

DETROIT - The mother of a missing 2-year-old girl made a plea Saturday for her safe return.
At a news conference, Banika Jones asked whoever had her daughter, Bianca, to drop her off at a hospital, church or even a drug store.
The 2-year-old went missing Friday morning when her father, Deandre Lane, said he was carjacked and a gunman drove off with his daughter still in the car. Detroit police recovered his car just minutes later, but there was no sign of the girl.
Lane was given a lie detector test, but police are not commenting on the results. Lane is being held on unrelated charges.
FBI profilers, city, county and state law enforcement are involved in the case.
A reward of $17,500 is being offered for Bianca's safe return --$15,000 of the money was provided by an anonymous donor.

Sales of HondaJet Off to Impressive Start After 3-day NBAA Convention
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 19, 2006 -- Honda Aircraft Company today announced that it received well over 100 individual customer orders with deposits for the $3.65 million HondaJet during the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention in Orlando, Florida. The company began sales of its advanced light jet on October 17 and has experienced demand in excess of expectations over three days of sales.
"We are extremely pleased with the early customer response to HondaJet. In addition to the strong demand we have experienced from individuals, we are negotiating with a number of fleet customers as well," said Michimasa Fujino, president & CEO of Honda Aircraft Co., Inc. "Due to this overwhelming response, we are now considering an increase in our production plan to meet the needs of our customers."
HondaJet will be produced by the Honda Aircraft Company at a dedicated manufacturing facility in the United States. Toward this end, on October 11 of this year, the company submitted its application for type certification of HondaJet with the Federal Aviation Administration.
Setting new standards for performance, quality and comfort, HondaJet introduces a series of new technologies that signify a revolutionary departure from conventional light jet designs. Its most unique and recognizable feature -- the over-the-wing engine mount (OTWEM) configuration -- liberates precious fuselage space for increased room in the cabin and cargo stowage, while significantly reducing aerodynamic drag at high speeds for major improvements in performance and fuel efficiency.
HondaJet features a class-topping cruise speed of 420 knots with an IFR range of 1180 nautical miles(1), and a 30-35 percent gain in fuel efficiency at cruise speed versus other jets of comparable performance. HondaJet's luxuriously-appointed cabin is about 1-foot longer than even larger light jets and features a fully-private lavatory.
"Clearly, our customers understand that HondaJet creates new value by combining class-leading speed, comfort and fuel efficiency ... matched by the promise of Honda's reputation for the highest quality," said Fujino.
A sales network incorporating five regional sales groups has been established for sales of HondaJet -- HondaJet East, HondaJet Southeast, HondaJet Midwest, HondaJet Southwest and HondaJet Northwest -- operating 14 offices around the country to provide HondaJet customers with a superior sales and ownership experience. The company will also establish a network of service facilities within 90-minutes flight time from any location in the U.S.
About Honda Aircraft Company, Inc.
Headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, Honda Aircraft Company, Inc. is a subsidiary of Honda Motor Co. Ltd. and was established in August 2006 to oversee certification, production, sales and service of HondaJet. More information about HondaJet including complete specifications is available at www.hondajet.com.

The location of the hotel was great. Just a couple of minute's walk from the main road of Laganas where all the bars, clubs, restauratns are located. The hotel is also not far from the beach. The room we were given was not in the blocks of buildings shown in the pics. If you want to book here, always ask for a room in the main building with the pool, restaurant, bar etc.We had to stay in small studios right across the main hotel. Our room was clean but had a small but nice collection of killed mosquitos on the walls.
Modern, spacious & clean room. Excellent facilities inc fridge, hairdryer, air con, etc. Room cleaned daily & always clean bedding/towels. Private & spacious balcony with pool view. 2 pools (inc a children's) were safe & clean, lots of sunbeds. We booked B&B & found good choice for all nationalities – hot & cold food. We ate evening meals in the hotel restaurant as the food was so good & cheap prices, lots of choice. The service was excellent. Welcoming bar area with quality cheap drinks & good entertainment. All the staff create a great atmosphere. Location is perfect; 2 mins from the beach & 5 mins to the main street, but peaceful at night. I'd recommend for all; children, families, couples, groups, young and old - fantastic holiday!!
the best hotel.the best people.george,giota,vassilli,constantina,landy,lola are the best!!!aii the guests,the food,the rooms are very clean,the atmosphere.perfect!! no
The hotel staff were excellent, very friendly and made us feel very welcome. This is the main thing that was great - although most things were good. But the level of service was really exceptional. The food was good, especially the evening meals/menu. Pool was good too, we hung around a lot chatting to other guests, although it is only two minutes walk to the beach. All in all it was the perfect hotel for this type of holiday (lively beach holiday). I would 100% recommend it, and if I was going back to Laganas I would not go anywhere else.
Staff, restaurant, and pool area were perfect
Staff was very friendly, good location near the beach, nice rooms in Plaza II. There are actually two buildings: Plaza I and Plaza II. Plaza I is the poor relative of Plaza II with the smaller rooms and old style furniture.
close to beach,friendly,clean
Beautiful seaview from the terrace of Imperial Zante, good dinners. There was no swimming in the pool around the terrace.
Waiting staff v friendly. Food was lovely! Definitely not worth a 4 star. Overall we had a lovely stay, but we expected more from a 4 star.

HUNDREDS of people gathered at Weymouth Harbour as part of a special commemoration service for the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
Organised as part of the Millin - Montgomery Voyage, which is celebrating the ports that played a crucial role in the operation, the service started shortly after 10.30am when bagpiper Karl Wainwright was brought into the harbour by boat from Portland Port.
Mr Wainwright was playing a replica set of pipes to the ones Bill Millin famously played as he led the troops off the boats and onto the beaches of Normandy.
He led a procession which included the Royal British Legion Standards from the Pavilion to the harbour.
Rev Dennis Mould, of the Weymouth Merchant Navy Association (MNA), then led the service which included hymns, prayers, the Last Post, the national anthem,. Mayor Ray Banham and Peter Tambling of the MNA laid down a wreath.
Following the wreath-laying, those in attendance scattered poppy petals into the harbour in memory of the soldiers, followed by a minute's silence.
Ray Banham, who was attending his last official function as mayor, said: "It is only right that we should remember the sacrifices made by the soldiers who left these shores on D-Day.
"The bagpiper must have been an inspiration to the soldiers on the beaches of Normandy as they left the boats."
Sean Cullen is the chairman of the City of Liverpool Royal British Legion who organised the Millin - Montgomery Voyage.
Mr Cullen said: "Although a lot of people go to France and the war graves in Normandy to remember the fallen, hundreds of thousands of people in England, in places like Weymouth, helped with the with the landings so we thought we would give them a chance to commemorate D-Day and also celebrate the part they played.
"I am very impressed with the turnout in Weymouth today. I thought there might not be many because of the weather but I have been pleasantly surprised."
Naomi Turner, chairman of the Weymouth branch of the Royal British Legion, said: "I thought the service was amazing, it was wonderful so many people turned out.
"It was a very fitting tribute and it's just lovely we were all able to take part. So many veterans turned out which was wonderful and I'd like to say a big thank you to Portland Port who supplied the boat which brought the bagpiper in."
The replica pipes will leave Weymouth on Friday for the next leg of the voyage aboard Motor Torpedo Boat 102 which arrived in the harbour this afternoon.
MTB-102 was the Dunkirk flagship during the evacuation of the beaches in France in 1940 and carried Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower to inspect the fleet before D-Day four years' later.
It is thought to be the only surviving Royal Navy vessel that took part in the Dunkirk evacuation and it was chosen to lead the pageant on the Thames during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012.
Don't miss the Dorset Echo all next week when we will be paying tribute to the men and women who played a vital role in the D-Day landings.
The coverage will culminate in a special supplement on Friday, June 6-the 70th anniversary of D-Day.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/4/2013 (1584 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TALK about losing control of your message. Last week, Manitoba's NDP government struggled mightily to explain its budget plan for 2013-14. A plan that includes a one-percentage- point hike to the provincial sales tax (PST) to fund infrastructure.
Any time a government raises a tax, it risks provoking the electorate and motivating opposition parties. Fiscally, it's risky because Premier Greg Selinger has pledged to spend all of the new PST money on infrastructure, rather than reducing the deficit, which remains stuck at $500 million.
There is a case to be made for Selinger's plan. Lamentably for the NDP, they did a horrific job of making that case.
The problems start with Finance Minister Stan Struthers, who consistently muddled his message. Consider that at no time during his news conference, or in his budget speech, did he use the word stimulus. The additional infrastructure spending is a good way of aiding economic growth. But Struthers couldn't utter the word, even though NDP spin doctors were using the term repeatedly after the budget was tabled.
The trouble continued for the NDP when it failed to accurately describe the effect of the PST bump. Finance officials said four-person households would pay an added $25 a month, or $300 a year; the next day, that was revised to $115 per year. In real dollar terms, that's not a lot of money; it just sounds a whole lot worse.
Ineffective messaging even led to allegations the province was not committing all of the new PST revenue to infrastructure, as was promised.
Critics claimed total spending on infrastructure had only increased by $80 million, which is less than the estimated $198.5 million the tax hike is expected to generate in 2013-14. A deeper analysis shows total infrastructure spending is increasing by $367 million this year (budget over actual), but that wasn't readily available in budget documents.
These missteps pale in comparison to the biggest mistake of all: the mishandling of the referendum question.
Under the balanced-budget law, the province is required to hold a referendum before increasing any tax. Selinger has opted instead to introduce legislation that negates the referendum requirement. It's a risky move and requires precise messaging to ensure supporters of the PST hike would remain onside. Although we've only started this debate, it appears the NDP has authored another colossal failure.
First, Struthers' budget speech never dealt with the issue of the referendum. The word was not even mentioned in his speech. He desperately needed to deal head on with the issue, and the fact Selinger expressly pledged in the 2011 election not to raise the PST.
Selinger and Struthers also misjudged the stakeholders in the infrastructure debate, whose support is desperately needed if this is to succeed.
There should have been a commitment to bring together the major players in the infrastructure debate — municipalities, special-interest groups and the chambers of commerce — to figure out how best to spend the new money. The reality is that even among those groups that support an increased PST, there are competing priorities.
The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, for example, wants the additional point of PST dedicated to "strategic" infrastructure, which is code for large, often unplanned, mega projects. The City of Winnipeg, which did not call for a PST hike but is prepared to accept the money anyway, wants all new revenue given to municipalities and not spent on provincial roads, bridges and highways. CAA Manitoba, on the other hand, wants all new revenue spent on roads and highways, not community centres or mega projects. The Manitoba Heavy Construction Association wants the money spent on new capital projects — not maintenance or repairs.
It's unlikely all these groups can be satisfied, but a process in which they have input into the final plan could ease them into a context where the referendum is not absolutely necessary. It's a long shot, but it's a better shot than the one they have now.
Overarching all these missteps was a desperate need for Selinger to acknowledge directly that his budget plan for this year breaks two specific pledges. The NDP had been resolute it would never abandon the budget-balanced law. Although critics will argue Selinger has been nibbling away at the law for years, this marks the biggest single change. Selinger also promised in the 2011 election not to raise the PST to fund infrastructure.
Away from partisan rants and knee-jerk special-interest analysis, there are arguments in support of the NDP plan.
Infrastructure is a worthy recipient of the additional funds, it will grow the economy, and the effect of the PST hike on individuals and families is pretty manageable. As for balanced-budget laws, no government should be forced to live with a law that is, arguably, past its best-before date.
The NDP put a lot of work into this, the most dynamic Manitoba budget in some time.
However, the premier needs to put just as much work into galvanizing his message. Right now, that message appears to be beyond his control.

Hello all,
I am new to the forum and new to Python. I am neuroscientist and I have lots of experience in with Matlab by little with Python. I am very interested in using Python to do some computer vision work for the lab, but I am having a really hard time getting up and running with Python and SimplyCV. I purchased the O'Reilly Practical Computer Vision with SimpleCV but I cannot seem to be able to get SimpleCV to run. Unfortunately, the book is no help. I have looked at the documentation for the SimpleCV download and install but I am still having problems. Here are some specifics.
I am on a new Mac running OS 10.8.3
If I look at my applications, I have both Python 2.7 and 3.3 installed
If I go to the Terminal on my Mac and type "python", i get
Python 2.7.3 (v2.7.3:70274d53c1dd, Apr 9 2012, 20:52:43)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
if I type "from SimpleCV import Shell"
I get, "ImportError: No module named SimpleCV"
I downloaded SimpleCV and it went straight into my downloads folder, but I have no idea how to install or run it.
I followed the directions from here, https://github.com/ingenuitas/SimpleCV#macos , but honestly, it's just so confusing and I have no idea why it doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Security and identification technology Edit
Two categories, similar topic:
I've noticed several articles, many uncategorized, all on a related topic, including thumbscan, retinal scan, identification card, identity tape, authorization code, security clearance, ration card, transport card, transit pass, chess problem, and I'm sure there are others. Since these are all security related concepts, perhaps broaden this idea and make identification a sub-category of a larger Security technology, for stuff like listening devices and so forth. --Alan del Beccio 21:47, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
