Parent involvement
My child was in the early childhood program. She needed speech therapy and she had other issues as well. After attending the school we discovered after testing, that her skills REGRESSED!! We discovered why when we sat in to observe. We found out that my speech delayed child was getting speech therapy in a group setting in Spanish and English!!!! We were finally able to get her out of there, but overall this school is deplorable. I don't entirely blame the faculty, nor do I blame the students. I will blame the students parents for not teaching their children some basics such as their ABC's, and 1,2,3's and ENGLISH prior to them entering kindergarten.
The staff and teachers are awesome. The program where they give like letterman jackets to students that are achieveirs in acadamia is great. Way to reward students for good choices
The school now has a G.A.T.E program! My children are straight A honor roll students.The parking lot is busy after school that's because most of the kids going to this school live in the three apartment buildings of every corner.The drivers are the lazy confused ones who don't want to park too far away.That's not a real constructive complaint to be made about the school. It is not over populated either! The class ratio is impressive. When I was growing up there were at least 25-35 students in a class. My children's classes have never been over 23 students.And as for the team teaching I agree that is not the best for subjects like art etc. but constant review at a young age is not horrible.I see it as anything the school doesn't do for them I so. No school fights and no weapons found is great!
This school has been around forever.It was built over 30 years ago and was meant for a much smaller population. The parking lot before & after school, is a fiasco. The majority of the students are learning english.It has all day kndgtn. They also team teach at this school from first- third grade. It is over-populated.

How to Flirt On the Phone
Edited by Sondra C, Geoffrey Starr, Gamelvr5, Teresa and 6 others
How to not have those uncomfortable pauses during a phone call, (for girls)some advice of flirting hope this helps.
1When he calls, even if you recognize the caller ID, don't pick up the phone saying his name, ("Hi Chad") just say hello, and carry on the conversation.Ad
2If you called him, just be CASUAL. You don't have to be on your guard,just be yourself.
3It's always good to start it off with the classic sentence ex: "So, What are ya doing?" but don't sound creepy when you say it. :-)
4Remember. You want him, to want you. So make yourself interesting, but not perfect. It's easier to admit weaknesses on the phone, so take your chance.
5Speak about him, ask questions, not just the standards. And make sure, you understand, what he says. He will be surprised, if you mention a special character trait, or a good friend of him.
6If he asks you what you are doing on the weekend, don't say just "I don't know." because that ends it in a sentence, and might start an awkward pause. Instead, say "I don't know yet, why do you ask?" because it will hopefully start another conversation.Ad
- If you know you can, call him late at night and tell him you can't sleep.
- Try and change the tone of your voice, make it more soft if he is flirting with you.
- When you end a conversation, don't just say "I gotta go now, bye!" but more of a " Hey it was great talking to you, but I have to go. Talk to you soon?" because it implies you want to speak to him again. Try and laugh softly after saying this.
- Giggle softly, most guys find that adorable, but don't just giggle out of the blue, but giggle when he says something funny. Cracking up on the phone puts in a 'best friend' vibe.
- If there is a weird silence, breath slowly and softly. Let him hear your breathing though. It will get him in a calm mood and it will be more of a comfortable silence.
- Dont flirt too much or you'll make the guy not want to talk to you anymore.

TMZ has revealed that Ken Shamrock is now a bodyguard, and the former UFC champion was spotted at an event in Las Vegas protecting 50 Cent. Shamrock is actually working for an agency and is not currently working full time for the rapper.
While watching Royal Rumble 2014, Rikishi expressed his frustration with WWE by posting a message on Twitter. He asked what the company was doing with his sons, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. He also stated that the "writers suck" and ended the statement with "bullshit".
Alexander Rusev, the developmental wrestler who made his debut at Royal Rumble 2014, was trained by Rikishi. His relationship with the former WWE star helped help progress in the industry a lot quicker than a lot of other guys who have tried to make it to the main roster.
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.

Cleanup Day appreciated
As I drove my car in line at the Arlington Cleanup Day at the airport (at 2:59, and they closed at 3:00), I was first really glad that I made it, but second was really appreciative this service is provided for our community. The day was quite warm, and the city employees were obviously hot and tired, but still in good humor and wonderfully helpful. There was some sorting of items going on, which is great for our environment. And — another huge benefit is this Cleanup Day is provided at no charge, and for a lot of us, right now 'free' is just the right price. Thank you to the city of Arlington, Mark Hayes and all the other city employees.

Since his performance last Spring with Liz Calloway at The Arts At St. Matthew's, our patrons have been raving about Joshua Henry. So he's back for a return engagement! From gospel to soul to Broadway, his performances are infectious and electrifying.
Joshua describes his love of performing thus: "There are few better feelings than performing music in front of a live audience. Whether it's putting an unexpected, funky twist on a familiar song or sharing original music that comes directly from my heart, the experience leaves me on cloud nine. After my first solo concert in NYC "Soul Weakness" I fell in love with this feeling and now plan on sharing my joy of music with many more audiences to come." After his first performance at the Arts at St. Matthew's, we couldn't agree more!
Joshua can currently be seen as "The Host" in New York City Center's acclaimed production Cotton Club Parade from November 14th - November 18th. He was recently seen on Broadway starring as Jake in the Tony Award Winning revival of The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess on Broadway. His performance as Haywood Patterson in the musical The Scottsboro Boys earned him a Tony Award nomination for "Best Performance by a leading actor in a musical."

A life full of music. That's the story of Ricky Skaggs. By age 21, he was already considered a "recognized master" of one of America's most demanding art forms, but his career took him in other directions, catapulting him to popularity and success in the mainstream of country music. His life's path has taken him to various musical genres, from where it all began in bluegrass music, to striking out on new musical journeys, while still leaving his musical roots intact.
Ricky struck his first chords on a mandolin over 50 years ago, and this 14-time Grammy Award winner continues to do his part to lead the recent roots revival in music. With 12 consecutive Grammy-nominated classics behind him, all from his own Skaggs Family Records label (Bluegrass Rules! in 1998, Ancient Tones in 1999, History of the Future in 2001, Soldier of the Cross, Live at the Charleston Music Hall, and Big Mon: The Songs of Bill Monroe in 2003, Brand New Strings in 2005, Instrumentals in 2007, Salt of the Earth with The Whites in 2008, Honoring the Fathers of Bluegrass: Tribute to 1946 and 1947 in 2009 and Ricky Skaggs Solo: Songs My Dad Loved along with Mosaic in 2010), the diverse and masterful tones made by the gifted Skaggs come from a life dedicated to playing music that is both fed by the soul and felt by the heart.

During a press conference today, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad (R) claimed that anti-gay rhetoric and opposition to marriage equality didn't lead to the death of Waterloo, Iowa resident Marcellus Andrews, who was called a "faggot" and other anti-gay names as he was attacked by a group of yet-to-be identified assailants. "I see no link whatsoever and I think it's inappropriate to try to blame people that are not associated with having committed a crime. I think we need to focus on the people who committed the crime and they need to be brought to justice," he said. Branstad has previously called for a referendum to ban same-sex marriage and supported the removal of thee Iowa Supreme Court justices who overturned a state law prohibiting gays and lesbians from marrying.

Sage can be part of your natural Osteopenia treatments. This common herb has been shown to be a benefit in your program for reversing bone loss. Those with Osteopenia or Osteoporosis should take a second look at the herb.
In April of 2003 the journal Bone published a study indicating that this herb may be good for your bones. Scientists from Switzerland (Bone Biology Group, Department of Clinical Research, University of Bern) found that the dried leaves of the herb strongly inhibit bone resorption.
Now, if you recall 'bone resorption' is the name given to the process by which your Osteoclasts removed old bone.
Inhibiting bone resorption is the process behind a number of well known Osteopenia and Osteoporosis drugs, among them Actonel, Boniva and Fosamax.
Now I am not suggesting that you drop your prescription drugs and start taking sage as a substitute. But you might want to include the herb in your meal preparation or add some to your tea.
the herb is a silvery-green plant. There are a number of different varieties. The most common form is found in the lands around the Mediterranean. But the plant is quite easy to grow and is now found throughout much of North America and many parts of Europe.
Most people recognize sage by the memorable fragrance of its leaves. Some people tie small bundles in closets or they place leaves in lightly woven cloth to act as sachets in drawers with scarves or underwear. But if you are trying to combat Osteopenia or Osteoporosis, you want to eat the herb - not just hang is as a sachet.
There are a number of different types of this herb. Mexican is not edible. It is usually grown for its bright red flowers that bloom late in the Fall. Edible forms are 'common sage' and pineapple sage. You can sprinkle these on salads or enjoy a tea of the leaves.
The fresh leaves of pineapple form have a distinctly pineapple taste. It goes well with chicken, pork dishes, cheeses or even fruit salad.
When using this herb, it is good to remember to use it sparingly. You will know if you exceed the right dose by a rather pungent odor coupled with musty taste to your food!. Of course, sage tea is a different story. If you are a tea drinker, you might try sprinkling a few leaves in your next cup.
The herb has long been used in traditional healing practices. But we know that if you are pregnant you should NOT USE IT. Also it should not be used by those with high blood pressure or epilepsy.
But this recent research about the herb and Osteopenia or Osteoporosis is worth considering. It would be one of those simple things that you could add to your program for reversing your bone loss. Why not get some and add it to your tea and/or salads?
If you want to read the study by the Swiss, your public library may be able to get a copy of Bone. 2003 Apr;32(4):372-80 from your library. If you can not get a copy there and you have access to a college or university library, they should be able to obtain a copy through Interlibrary loan.
A summary of the study can be found at Sage and Bones
Oh, and yes, you should let your health care provider know of any and all things you are doing in regard to your Osteopenia or Osteoporosis.

should i bye silver or gold now in april,2011 which metal go more high profitable by year end
Chuck says Invest in Silver | April 10, 2011Reply
My friend says that the silver is not going up, but the dollar is going down. It is the same thing. With all the speculation, there is one scientific fact about silver. Ben Franklin made silver much more valuable. He discovered electricity and that is the greatest discovery since fire. Silver is the most electrically conductive metal that there is.
Gold is not used much in industry. To put a tenth ounce of it in a device would cost $140. To put a tenth oz of silver in a device costs $4.10. China used to export silver. Since 2007 they have been importing it for their electrical needs. Fifty percent of silver is needed by industry. Central banks around the world used to buy up a lot of U.S. dollars. Now they are hoarding gold and silver. China is telling its 1.3 billion citizens to buy silver. That is good advice for everyone.
zachary | April 17, 2011Reply
do you think Silver will go to 80.00 any
time soon!!!!
Rokcney | January 23, 2012Reply
I don't think so any time soon, but you never know. Eventually I think it will go much higher than that. With the dollar rapidly losing it's value, rapid demand could drive the price up 5 times what it is now. The important question is where is level off. I wish I had bought more when it was $17.00 an oz.
Ben | April 24, 2011Reply
$80 soon ? I see it at $100 before year end. Oiur dollar is going down, prices going up,stock market going to tank, problems in the mid east, industry demand higher, gold as high as it is, silver is going to be the place to be. Hi hoo Sliver

Nice idea, but you have to make cheat sheet to remember what number makes what sound. They are not labeled on the call
This item is great it did not work at first when I installed the batteries. I let it set for a day or so and it works fine. My kids love to play with it around the house.
Seems ok, One of few items I kept
Fun call, I haven't called any animals with it yet. Not too loud. Good for the price.

Inspector Gadget, cheese toasties... Warnie's back
Posted in npower Ashes Series 2009
There was a painful memory of Ashes series gone by when Shane Warne appeared on the outfield at Lord's this morning.
The sleep-deprived members in the pavilion - a distinct possibility; some were queuing from 3 o'clock in the morning for tickets - could have been forgiven for breaking out in a cold sweat at the sight of England's old tormentor.
Fortunately, Warne was dressed in a suit rather than whites, and enjoying his first commentary stint of the Ashes for Sky Sports.
It was all very civil as David Gower welcomed him to the team, Warne apologised for missing the first Test in Cardiff (the poker and cricket authorities really should synchronise their calendars), he congratulated England on their efforts in saving the game, and Nasser Hussain wondered out loud why Warne hadn't made himself unavailable for the opening Test during his playing days.
It was very much the Warne we all knew and loved/hated (delete as appropriate, according to nationality). The hair was as blond and as spiky as we remembered. The tan hadn't faded a jot. And the white teeth glistened as brightly as ever.
Never shy with his opinions, there was even a gentle dig at the England selectors: he would have gone for Hamison ahead of Onions on this Lord's pitch. But then we didn't honestly think Warne would have mellowed, did we?
There were echoes of the great Richie Benaud when Warne finally made his way up to the commentary box, greeting his former adversary and new colleague Mike Atherton with a congenial "Good morning, Athers".
It was not long before Athers was tapping into Warne's inside knowledge of the Australian camp, and the two were exchanging good-natured jibes over the microphone moments later.
Warne revealed to viewers that Mitchell Johnson has a tendency to "drop his bundle" when things aren't going his way with the ball, prompting Athers to dig out his imaginary Anglo-Australian dictionary.
When it comes to a battle of words, you suspected Athers - a Cambridge graduate and respected journalist - might have the upper hand over his old foe for once, but Warne put up significantly more fight than the Australia players were managing out on the pitch.
Warne provided the translation for us - it means throwing a tantrum - before putting Athers in his place with a well-timed: "Same dog, different leg action." Perhaps mindful that it was some way before the watershed, Athers refrained from asking the obvious.
I won't bore you with a transcript of the first half hour's commentary, but it included a brief discussion of London Zoo, Warne's love of England - his second home - and no shortage of suggestions for Australia's bowlers.
Clearly the great man's cricketing brain works as well as ever - let us not forget that he still captains Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League - and age has not blunted his competitive edge, judging by comments urging the tourists to give Andrew Strauss "a bit of verbal to let them know they want a piece of him".
Warne took a breather before returning - with immaculate timing - at the same time off-spinner Nathan Hauritz was introduced into the attack.
Hauritz is the latest player to attempt to fill Warne's enormous boots, and as the master passed comment from up on high, it was impossible not to use the analogy of God looking down on his minions.
When Warne was playing, anything seemed possible, which breeds a perculiar kind of optimism. Nevertheless, it seemed somewhat out of place as England's openers ran riot in the face of a worryingly ineffective attack.
"I like the start that Australia have made after the break," said Warne, not long into the afternoon session. Not that outlandish, you may think, but Hauritz had just been swung over midwicket twice in an over by Alastair Cook, and the scoreboard read 134 without loss.
He is surely the first cricket commentator to mention Inspector Gadget live on air, and the famous Lord's lunches were also discussed after the interval. Warne prefers cheese toasties, we learned, while Ian Bothan managed to sneak in a dig about Mike Gatting and his appetite. Poor Gatt wasn't even there to defend himself.
All the while, Australia's bowlers toiled away, and Warne's tactical brain went into overdrive. Like a kid with a Playstation, he tinkered with the field, suggested bowling changes and pondered angles of attack from over and around the wicket. Even Beefy struggled to get a word in.
There was no shortage of advice for Hauritz - he didn't invite Strauss to "drooyve" enough for Warne's liking - and he could barely contain the frustration in his voice as the left-handers made merry en route to a record England opening stand at Lord's.
Warne had a few teething problems as he tried to circle the midwicket fielder on the screen, but, much like long hops when he was bowling, they were few and far between during an otherwise assured debut.
Normal service was resumed when Nasser piped up from the corner of the commentary box. "I think you were my first wicket with a wrong 'un," said Warne, quick as a flash.

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Detroit Red Wings forward Kris Draper will be sidelined for the next several days with a small tear in his groin, the team announced Thursday.
Draper was first bothered by the injury after Detroit's game in Vancouver February 23, and will sit out Thursday's contest with the Dallas Stars. In 61 games this season, Draper has posted nine goals and eight assists.
With injuries to forwards Draper, Tomas Holmstrom and Dan Cleary, the Red Wings recalled center Darren Helm from Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League.
The Red Wings also recalled goalie Jimmy Howard from Grand Rapids. With Dominik Hasek out Thursday with a sore lower back, Howard will serve as the backup to starter Chris Osgood.

The Compound Microscope Help
Optical microscopes are designed to greatly magnify the images of objects too small to resolve with the unaided eye. Microscopes, in contrast to telescopes, work at close range. The design is in some ways similar to that of the telescope, but in other ways it differs. The simplest microscopes consist of single convex lenses. These can provide magnification factors of up to 10× or 20×. In the laboratory, an instrument called the compound microscope is preferred because it allows for much greater magnification.
Basic Principle
A compound microscope employs two lenses. The objective has a short focal length, in some cases 1 mm or less, and is placed near the specimen or sample to be observed. This produces an image at some distance above the objective, where the light rays come to a focus. The distance (let's call it s) between the objective and this image is always greater than the focal length of the objective.
The eyepiece has a longer focal length than the objective. It magnifies the real image produced by the objective. In a typical microscope, illumination can be provided by shining a light upward through the sample if the sample is translucent. Some microscopes allow for light to be shone downward on opaque specimens. Figure 19-13 is a simplified diagram of a compound microscope showing how the light rays are focused and how the specimen can be illuminated.
Fig. 19-13. Illumination and focusing in a compound optical microscope.
Laboratory-grade compound microscopes have two or more objectives, which can be selected by rotating a wheel to which each objective is attached. This provides several different levels of magnification for a given eyepiece. In general, as the focal length of the objective becomes shorter, the magnification of the microscope increases. Some compound microscopes can magnify images up to about 2,500 times. A hobby-grade compound microscope can provide decent image quality at magnifications of up to about 1,000 times.
A compound microscope is focused by moving the entire assembly, including both the eyepiece and the objective, up and down. This must be done with a precision mechanism because the depth of field (the difference between the shortest and the greatest distance from the objective at which an object is in good focus) is exceedingly small. In general, the shorter the focal length of the objective, the smaller is the depth of field, and the more critical is the focusing. High-magnification objectives have depths of field on the order of 2 μm (2 × 10 −6m) or even less.
If the eyepiece is moved up and down in the microscope tube assembly while the objective remains in a fixed position, the magnification varies. However, microscopes usually are designed to provide the best image quality for a specific eyepiece-to-objective separation, such as 16 cm (approximately 6.3 in).
If a bright enough lamp is used to illuminate the specimen under examination, and especially if the specimen is transparent or translucent so that it can be lit from behind, the eyepiece can be removed from the microscope and a decent image can be projected onto a screen on the ceiling of the room. A diagonal mirror can reflect this image to a screen mounted on a wall. This technique works best for objectives having long focal lengths, and hence low magnification factors.

Looks great, I especially like the Bokeh!
Great life to Unity
Looks gorrrrgeous!
I don't expect anything other than amazing from you guys, but you still manage to surprise me :)
Great Work!
Thanks for the unite 10 presentations!
whoa! :)
Wonderful demo, lovely!
I was wondering, how did you capture the video of the demo?
Absolutely stunning. Wish I could scrape together the money for pro…gotta finish my project and then argue for the upgrade before release.
Awesome!! Nice work guys ;)
Awesome demo guys! reminds me of..
truly terrifying movie, watch it!
Nice Bokeh effect, can't wait to experiment with it!
mmmmm do I see volumetrics there?
But how is that possible!?
Unity3 game engine look more and more like a renderer,
The quality is outstanding.
Awesome work.
Wow that looks freaking gorgeous. I can't wait to get my hands on that.
These new standard assets are turning out wonderful.
I have to admit that this is all great and all,but remember that Unity3D does not yet have support for fog-volumes.
When will Unity3D support fog-volumes ?
And also some very good solid path-finding system (for example Kynapse AI) ?
And destructible geometry ?
Wow, that Bokeh looks awesome, you should be proud.
You guys never seize to amaze us.
@ Jason
Come on man…they do all this and you nag about path finding?
Awesome! I'm working on something that will be more art piece than game, and you guys keep adding goodies to the toolbox causing "scope creep" :) Thanks for the hard work! Now, release it already! lol
Fix the GUI library please! And proper merging of scene/prefab files with version control! The graphical effects can wait! Somebody please think of the developers!
Then what is wrong with the GUI library ?
@Alexander Pavlovsky
Then how the heck am I supposed to do pathfinding in Unity ?!
@Jason Amstrad
Exactly !
@Jason Amstrad
Vote on feature requests at feedback.unity3d.com if you want someone to do something about it, your comments here only pollute the chat with unnecessary things.
Awesome effects, can't wait to see more coming in Unity 3.2!
When will 3.2 be ready ?
@testlog: all this image effects + water upgrade was done by… about one person (round of applause to Ole). It's not like the entire company only works on upgrading image effects for Unity 3.2, a lot of others are working on other areas.
Point lights and spot lights shaft (volumetric light) would be a great addition into unity effects! Lets kick others engines asses please!
Very well said.
@Aras: thanks for the clarification
When can I download Unity3D 3.2 ?
Wow, wow, wow…..
Awesome ambience, bravo to the Demo Team, this is lovely !
And awesome effects too ! They look absolutely delightful !
Great work guys !
Now throw into Unity3D some good Kismet technology and Matinee technology and good NavMesh pathfinding and destructible geometry technology and then,and only then you can call Unity3D a truly awesome game engine.
@Brian Janord
I totally agree.
Me too.
Not to be a negative nancy, but, at least in my opinion, Unity should be focusing ALL of its manpower on much more important things other than a pretty Bokeh filter and post image processing…The Unity 3 already update brought numerous graphics improvements that should sate our eye-candy cravings for some time.
Of course there are always improvements you can make, but they work very well at the moment. Things that don't work very well at the moment, such as the atrocious GUI and non-existant pathfinding (seriously, how doesn't a game engine have SOME sort of pathfinding built in? Calling that steercontroller pathfinding is like calling a bicycle a motorcycle — you have the most BASIC similarities, but in the end they're not the same) should get all the attention. That's my opinion, though.
To me, it seems like Unity is trying to catch up to UDK in terms of graphics, but at the end of the day, indie developers (majority of the Unity community) want to be able to do the basics without much of a hassle (making a functional GUI/implementing pathfinding without tearing your hair out.) I think Unity is trying to catch the eye of a lot of big name developers, which certainly isn't a bad thing. I just don't understand why they are updating already working non-essential components, when in fact there are missing essential components (pathfinding) or horribly implemented essential components (GUI).
All that being said, this looks very good. I'm just confused as to why it was updated. Look @ http://feedback.unity3d.com/forums/15792-unity and tell me if you see the community complaining about DOF. Sure, these updates (and any updates are welcome). I was just expecting to see this updated after more important things were tackled…
We have different people working on different tasks. We have 2 guys working on a new UI framework. We have one guy working on a pathfinding library and much much much more. Since we have multiple people working on the Unity code base at the same time, we also ship different features at different times. Essentially we ship it when feature is complete and tested. Some features take longer to implement, other features like Ole's awesome image effects have been tweaked and worked on over the last half year, and in 3.2 they were ready to be shipped.
3.2 is primarily a bug fix and performance optimization release. We also packed some graphics goodies, like the image effects / water shaders / mobile shader pack in there.
There will be more releases coming after 3.2 very shortly that adress GUI, Pathfinding and have a ton more awesome stuff. We'll talk about those on the blog soon.
@Joachim Ante
You said that you guys are working on a new UI framework and pathfinding.
Have you guys "just" started to work on it or was it in development for some time now ?
When do you think that Unity 3.2 will be ready ?
@Tessel: for Unity 3.2, we're working hard on fixing the very last issues that we consider "ship stoppers". In other words, 3.2 should be out really soon.
@Joachim Ante
About the "new" UI framework,is it some kind of flash based UI system like ScaleForm (or better and more optimized than ScaleForm)?
And the pathfinding system that is being developed,is it based on Kynapse AI or something else ?
Nice to hear that they are working on pathfinding.
And will it be the traditional A* pathfinding(path-nodes) system or the more newer,faster,optimized NavMesh method ?
It's an optimized UI framework that focuses on running fast on mobile devices and being accessable to designers.
It is a system where you create the UI completely inside of Unity with tools built into Unity to create the UI.
The pathfinding is a NavMesh based system.
Anyway, we'll talk about details on this later. This blog post was actually about 3.2 so lets keep it at that.
@Joachim Ante said:
"There will be more releases coming after 3.2 very shortly that adress GUI, Pathfinding and have a ton more awesome stuff. We'll talk about those on the blog soon."
How soon ?
I hope very soon.
@Joachim Ante
Thanks for all of that. I stand corrected!
Really good stuff coming for Unity.
Seriously, I've been working with lots of in-house and commercial engines and Unity can easily kick their as*es by miles.
I think that Unity is working through the good path. Catching up with heavyweights engines like Unreal and the others.
Epic and Crytek have good tech but they are really scared of Unity getting more and more features, rendering power and more users!
To the guy working on those lovely shaders, someone pointed out about volumetric lights for spot/point lights, what do you think adding those for your next set of effects? :D
Keep working hard guys!
It's really awesome all the stuff Unity throws in for developers to use, and even more so that most of it is available in the free version.
Quit complaining there's no path finding or kismet or instant MMO button. Most of that functionality is available via 3rd parties, and you can certainly implement it yourself. Don't expect UT to write all of your game for you. It's a game engine, not a game making engine.
@Joachim and Aras, as well as everyone else at UT – you guys rock. Really looking forward to 3.2 and all future updates.
When will Unity3D also have something like the "InteractiveFoliageActor",like the one seen in the Unreal Development Kit ?
@Brian Janord
Yes,that would be a very nice add-on for Unity too.
@Brian Janord
Now that you have brought that up,I think so too.
Ow c'mon guys,I am sure that the people from Unity are working hard on new things.Do not rush them to much.
@Aras Pranckevičius
Nice !
"It's an optimized UI framework that focuses on running fast on mobile devices and being accessable to designers.
It is a system where you create the UI completely inside of Unity with tools built into Unity to create the UI."
So…. is this something that might be coming in 3.2, or something that is coming later? Just want to know how to handle this chapter than I'm writing now :)
Also in the 'function over wizbang' camp. The 2d system, (not just SM2 clone), and fixes fixes fixes. Wizbang is awesome, but I had to divert an upcoming project away from our UT Pro w/iPhone simply because of the lack of a modern support for 2D sprites/animation. Something like this (http://www.spritedeck.com/), would make UT3 'thee' go to platform for 2d gaming… that's some serious wizbang.
Theirs some big differences between a magic MMO build button and a visual scripting system. One is just impossible, the other is really a must have tool for designers and artists.
There's a lots of fragmentation regarding those tools. Too much third parties pathfinding solutions, too much people creating visual scripting tools.
Providing those solutions build in Unity, doesn't mean "click on a magic button and Unity will build your game"! Unity wont create your game with/without those tools. You still have to script your game mechanics somehow (visually or by code) and your AI entities will take advantage of the provided pathfinding system.
I would love to see a visual scripting system in Unity.
In fact it's my most wanted feature and had been implemented by some third parties already, making it build in would make unity so much easier to work with for artist that can code some but not a whole game script from scratch.
@Brian Janord
Yes,the InteractiveFoliageActor would be nice in Unity3D too,just like in the UDK. I recently switched my project from UDK to Unity3D.
But some of the "better" features that UDK has,are not found in Unity3D.
It would be nice to see these type of things back in the UDK.
I am sorry,I meant it the other way around.
What I meant to say was: "It would be nice to see these type of this back in Unity3D".
Though i'm new to Unity 3D, but it really make me get into the Unity 3D, it's gonna benefit my trail in unity a lot.

New Year's Eve is here. Finally.
We are still experiencing very weird weather -- temps in the high 30's or low 40's, rain -- not snow, even our lawn is starting to green up. This can't be good...
Stepson is here until about 2:00. Then he is off to work so Hubby and I will figure out what we are going to do tonight. His sister is having a poker party -- but they live a long way from our house and driving back with all the lunatics is not exactly my idea of fun.
We may just stay home, which I am fine with too.
I'm looking forward to 2007 but have to say that I've had a pretty good 2006.
Here is my list of 2006 highlights:
1) Our Trip to Europe. Hubby and I both agree that our trip was definitely the highlight of the year. Although we can't pick a favorite place or event or meal of the trip, the whole package was truly wonderful.
2) My finishing the Lifetime Fitness Oly distance Tri: Oh, and that 1st place trophy for Athena's 40+. May I remind myself that there was only one person in my heat (me), but hardware none the less. I signed up for the event again for 2007 and my goal is to have a better race time. This means finishing the swim much less time. I've signed up for another swim package with my swim coach and renewed my membership with the MN Tri Club. I need to focus more on those open water swims and biking.
3) Training for Twin Cities Marathon with Marcia, Mary and Cheryl: Notice I said TRAINING and not the race. The race was pretty good, although certainly not my best marathon. Training with these women was fun and inspiring. We had a lot of laughs inbetween a lot of miles.
4) Making contributions: I feel very good about the fact that I'm in a position to make contributions of money to causes I believe in, or time (to coach new runners or to stomp for a political candidate I believe in), or both. It really is true that you get back much more than what you actually give.
5) Living a sane life: If I wasn't sober, none of my life would be like this. I'm grateful every day for being able to experience life as a sane, sober person.
Other highlights include playing on our weekly golf league; enjoying lots of easy time off and spending it at home; enjoying the company of my friends; renewing some friendships that had fallen away; and most of all, spending time with Hubby.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
We had a nice, slightly chaotic holiday. Step-kids were over yesterday and so were my in-laws, Hubby's twin sister and daughter. We had a lovely mid-day meal sprinkled with a little holiday drama (caused by me and my big mouth).
All calmed down (eventually) and every one ended up going to Midnight Mass at the in-laws parish. It was a lovely setting: candle lit sanctuary; wonderful music; very peaceful.
The service was the service -- Catholic -- so there was some chanting, standing, kneeling and crossing (the last of those two were done by the believers. I pretty much sat and observed during that part).
It was very nice to share that with Hubby and his family -- and I was glad we could all participate together.
Today, Step-kids went back to their mom's house....(always sad to see them go). Hubby and I went to his OTHER sister's house for the rest of the day. Ate as if it were going out of style; played some games; talked and basically just hung out.
It was a great day.
I hope you and yours were also able to celebrate however you felt fit today.
Here is to a joyous, healthy, fun, PEACEFUL 2007.

Finally --- snow!
Although it has been nice to not worry about ice and slipping and trudging through the wet stuff, a little snow this time of year is actually quite nice.
We aren't getting socked in like Denver, but it's anticipated that we'll have 1 - 5 inches by the end of tomorrow.
The not-so-fun part of this is that, although I'm off of work tomorrow, I have to drive about 20 miles from our house to my sister's in the morning to pick up her dog, who is at the kennel.
My sister, a rabid Green Bay packer fan, is in Wisconsin today with her husband and a bunch of their football friends. They will be attending tonight's game -- which is the big game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Packers.
After I post this blog, I'm going to sign up for some running and tri events for 2007. That will also help me move forward.

Another Week Bites the Dust
I've been so cheerie lately.
Not really.
Still sitting in my funk, but am hopefully close to turning a corner. December 21st is coming up and with the solstice, the days will start to get longer.
First by nano-seconds, I understand this, but longer none-the-less. My mood really is impacted heavily by the amount of sunlight hours. I have very little motivation once the sun goes down.
Hubby and I have tried to get to the gym twice a week but we have a difference of opinion about when to go. I like to go right after work -- energy is still there, then I can get home after a work out and just relax. He likes to come home, have some thing to eat and then think about going. More often than not, when we do it his way, we don't go.
This week however, I did get a number of workouts in:
I ran with a couple of girlfriends last Saturday -- just under 5 miles. I didn't run well, but did get in the miles.
Sunday, I had a swim lesson with Dave. He was not as brutally critical of me as I thought he'd be. He videotaped me and I looked okay in the water. Much better than when I started lessons with him. My biggest visible problem happens when I turn my head to breathe if I lift my head back instead of just turning it to the side. Lifting causes my hip to open up too, which throws my glide off..
I swam again on Tuesday evening.
Wednesday, Hubby and I did make it to the gym for a light workout.
Eating this week has been not so good, however. I don't seem to have much self control or ability to "just say no". My health club has a weight loss program that starts in February and I am seriously considering joining the three-month program.
We get our Christmas tree tomorrow...Hanukkah started tonight and I light the menorah. (I converted to Judaism many years ago, but really don't adhere to any religion any more. I like certain traditions of all religions -- but would not classify myself as a member of any religion at this point).
Our holiday will be very, very light. No presents between Hubby and me; very little for the kids or for family. No one really needs or wants any thing. (Which, I think, is a very lucky position to be in).
I'm in the process of figuring out which organizations that I'll send my end-of-the-year contributions to. Again, I'm thankful that I'm in a position where I can make some contributions to causes and groups that I believe in...
I'll get a few workouts in over the weekend; hopefully get our holiday cards made and out the door and relax a bit.
Ho ho ho ---

It's official!
I'm in a funk!
The weather is cold; work is uninspiring; I'm not training for any specific event (and if I was, I'm not sure I'm mentally in the game right now). Frankly, the holidays are a tough time of year for me in general, so I'm dealing with that right now.
I'm looking for some ways out of this -- I will probably just have to ride it out a bit.
I know that I have lots to be grateful for -- I'll try concentrating on being grateful for the next couple of days and report back.
For now: blah.

Deep Freeze
All I can say is BRRRR.
We've had a blast of very cold air move in to Minnesota over the last few days. Sort of a slap in the face from Old Man Winter.
That being said, we here in Minneapolis have been very lucky compared to other Midwest locations which were recently pounded by a huge winter storm that dumped a ton of snow along with the cold. I heard on the news that about 198,000 people in Illinois are still without power.
At least we have electricity and heat.
Yesterday was the Reindeer Run 5K -- this annual event is another of those "holiday biggies" that attract a few thousand runners -- including lots of families and folks that don't usually run the lakes on a Saturday morning.
I love running this race because "Santa" and "Rudolph" are there and lots of people dress up in costumes. I saw someone dressed as a tree running with two people dressed as presents; a few ornaments, lots of reindeer, a couple of elves that were dressed like the ones in the animated version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer... etc. All very cute.
I was supposed to catch up with other runners from my club, including my good running friends from Marathon days. By the time I got down to the lake though, the line to enter the tent to pick up race numbers for PRE-REGISTERED runners was huge.
This is pretty unusual. At most races, when you are pre-registered, the lines move along very quickly and orderly. Not here. Took me about 10 minutes to get half-way up the line when a volunteer announced that the lines should split, with half going around to the other side of the tent. I scooted over to the other side and got my number pretty easily but had no time to find anyone.
I ran the race but could really feel the fact that I have not been very active lately. I moved slowly, the cold air really cut down on my ability to breath correctly. (My asthma is much, much worse in the winter than the summer). Hills were hard for me to complete and feel strong. I was about 40 seconds slower finishing this race than I was the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. The really bad news is that this slow finish puts me in time range of races I ran when I was just starting out in 1999.
That put a little damper on my ho-ho-ho.
I know that it is normal to pull back on my fitness level after marathon training season is over AND I've been enjoying the pre-holiday eating season just a little too much, so both of those elements will add up to slower times and tighter pants.
I've also read that most runners will improve for about 10 years after they start running...and that runners, as they get older, start to slow down. This would mean a double whammy for me, moving in to my 8th year running and rocketing in to solid middle age.
I left the race resolved to really think about how I train and figuring out ways to train smarter and harder on multiple levels for 2007.
This would mean really looking at how and what I eat and being accountable in a real way, not the "gee I wish" way. It means getting up early to get miles in or yards in or spins on the cycle. It means finding some people that run a hair or two faster than I do to train with to try to improve my speed.
I also need to determine which events to do next year -- and what distances. A few tris have 1/2 price entry fees if you register before December 31st, including a 1/2 Iron distance I'm considering. (GULP -- 1/2 IRON!)
I also bit the bullet and signed up for a swim lesson, which is scheduled for later this week. Although I've been swimming, I'm sure that my coach will be very disappointed in me when I see him.
Enough complaining for now. I'm going to go get under a few blankets, drink some hot tea and dream of the summer.

The Wagon R was one of the first hatch-back vehicles in India that gave you acres of space. its overall exterior design has been altered very little to keep its USP of space and comfort on top of the list. While the design is not the most attractive, the practicality and comfort the car offers at its price range is something that no other competitor can compete with.
The Wagon R now comes with more features and of course a better engine in the form of the K Series. There are three trim levels and there is also a CNG version available.
While the Wagon R is not the most appealing in terms of its design, the exterior remains highly practical. There is however a newly designed front bumper that looks decent, and the front grille also gets elements of chrome to make it look more appealing, and there are also sporty fog lamps on the bumper as well. She same boxy shape has stayed on along with the straight and bland lines at the rear and mid section.
The Interiors have got a refreshing change but the same levels of comfort and space are not compromised. The Wagon R has the most headroom and leg room in its segment and that is something that really makes this car special.
There is also ample space in the boot and now there are new storage compartments. The dashboard has gotten a little update as the Wagon R now comes with an integrated audio system and there is also a dual tone interior colour scheme.
The K Series engine once again makes its way into the Wagon R. it is the same engine found in most other Maruti cars and is called the K10B. The engine has a capacity of 998cc and can give a power output of 68bhp and 90Nm of torque. This figures are decent enough for a car of its size, but it's not something that will thrill the driver. It is very efficient and well refined so it performs smoothly. The engine is also mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that works well. There is also a Green variant of the engine available that produces a power output of 59bhp and 77Nm of torque. this engine is the same capacity but has been tuned down to allow for a much better fuel economy and lesser carbon emissions. There is also the option of installing a factory fitted CNG kit.
The overall performance of the Wagon R is at par with other hatches in its segment. It doesn't have the most power but it does provide a comfortable and decent ride quality. The acceleration is not the best and another flaw in the design which compromises on performance is the height of the car. Because it is very tall, it loses it centre of gravity and you need to be careful when turning sharp corners at very high speeds. There is also lots of body roll on curves. Other than that, the comfort levels in the car are very good. The suspension works well and so do the brakes.
The Wagon R is decently efficient in terms of its fuel economy. You can manage to get 12kmpl in the city. IN the Green engine variant you can manage almost 15kmpl. With the CNG variant you will get a much better fuel economy.
The car also has some good features such as power steering, power windows, air conditioning, and keyless entry. There is also an integrated music system and USB.
The Wagon R also comes with a few but necessary safety features such as Driver SRS airbag, ABS, front and rear fog lamps.
The overall quality of materials is quite decent in the Wagon R and a step above the smaller hatches from Maruti Suzuki. The exterior quality of panels is quite good, as are the interior materials. The finishing touches are also quite decent as is the comfort level. The cabin seems quite enough and the engine is very smooth. Overall the quality is pretty decent. The Wagon R is also very reliable and can handle tough conditions and still performs well. There is no shortage of authorized service cetres and finding parts is not a problem.
With a starting price just under Rs 4 lakh it's quite a bargain. The quality is decent and the engine well refined so the car does have good value for money.
In its segment the Wagon R does have the most space, and is a good performer but it's not an exciting one. You could get a better performing hatch but you will definitely not enjoy the same comfort levels.

When signing up for any dating site such as Match or POF you are forced to create a POF Login account. Does your screen name affect the chances of finding a date? Lets take a few examples and reflect on them from both a male and female perspective. Unlike your name in real life, most people use a login that says a little something about their self.
Lets start off from a woman's point of view as we examine a few fictitious screen names to get a basic understanding of what the ladies might think when they first come across your profile and if it deserves a click through or not. Now most people would not use a login such as "drunkalldaylong" or "sleepswithalotofwomen" but what if you did? These are extreme examples here guys, but you can see where we are going with this. Your screen name on POF is a bit of a first impression, so you want to make it something original and unique. Something that gives a little hint of who you might be, but without sounding desperate, creepy or like a jerk. Do you think something like "lonelyguy" oozes confidence? Or do you think a woman might take this as a sign of being desperate on plentyoffish?
Now just as men tend to pick terrible screen names for their pof login account, the women are just as guilty. A lot of profiles tend to have hints of desperation in their screen name. Take for example another fake screen name like "brokenhearted" and then some random string of numbers that usually follows. Are you on POF to attract a mate, or is this a venting board for your emotional needs just as the facebook wall has become so notorious for? Sounding weak and vulnerable on a dating site will attract men looking to exploit that.
These are just a few short examples, but if you use POF for dating or any other dating site then you know that a screen name can tell a lot about a person and is often overlooked during the creation of a profile. Chose something simple that give the reader a bit of a positive teaser of who you are. Do not go overboard, such as "reallywealthyman123″ or "icookandcleanandhaveagreatbody321″, that spews arrogance as well as desperation.

So one of the final tips and tricks I want to share with you is ways to delete photos and also delete posts. So let's start with going into our profile, and I'm going to look at photos here for a moment. I am going to go into my Photos here, and let's say down the line maybe we stop carrying a certain type of boxing clothing, and I want to change that out. What I can do is click on this, and under Options, see where the little arrow is? I can go ahead and I can delete the photo.
So if for any reason you want to delete photos, then that's the place to do that, and you can always keep tabs of your photos by logging in, looking at your profile photos, things like that. I am going to go back to my profile, and here I'm on my Posts, and right here it says No Obstacles Sport, new yoga line...stay tuned! And it looks like Shea Hanson posted something that says Hi, awesome post! Want to learn more about how to make money Online? Check out my page to buy my book.
You know this is most likely someone who maybe is following the No Obstacles Sport page, but maybe isn't an ideal follower, and this maybe kind of more salesy, maybe not appropriate for the page. So I'm going to go ahead and I can delete that comment. And yes, I want to delete the comment. You also have the option to block this person. In this case, we know that Shea is a customer, and we're actually going to let this one go, and if we have any further issues, we can go ahead and block her. But I am going to go ahead and hit Delete, and also you can delete posts.
Let's say that No Obstacles Sport said new yoga line coming out...stay tuned! And Jaryl, the CEO says eek! You know we're not quite ready to start promoting that, and we don't want our competitors to see that, let's go ahead and delete this post. So don't fret, you can always go ahead and clean things up, manage your photos, manage your posts, and manage your comments on your Google+ Business page.
