Wakfu Overview
Wakfu is a free-to-play tactical MMO by the same creators of Dofus. This sequel is set 1,000 years after the Age of Dofus in the World of Twelve. Fans of the original game will notice some familiar characters and environments but a lot of drastic changes as well. Players step into the role of an awaken hero's spirit reincarnated and sent back to rescue a land in turmoil. Each hero must rebuild their chosen nation and form valuable allies within. Simulating an open sandbox style of gameplay like Istaria or Perpetuum players are free to take up multiple professions or start a clan based war. Storm into dungeon instances overflowing with monsters, conquer neutral zones with fellow comrades, start your own shop, or become the ruling governor. Join the Amakna, Bonta, Brakmar, or Sufokia nation and choose between 14 starting classes.

Wakfu Review
By Ange Perdu
Wakfu is a 2D fantasy themed strategy MMORPG where players become reincarnated heroes sent back to the World of Twelve to rebuild civilization. Based off of the popular Anakama hit Dofus, fans revisit a familiar land that has taken a drastic turn for the worst. Choose from 14 starting classes and join a nation worth fighting for in this unique adventure. Explore dangerous zones inhabited by strange powerful creatures, battle beasts or opposing nations, and raid dungeon instances. Wage tactical turn-based combat solo or in a group with friends. Participate in special challenges, complete quests, and practice up to 16 different professions while establishing a new form of government. Run for an electoral position to make major decisions for your republic or go on a PvP killing spree to earn a reputation as a menace to the newfound society. This completely F2P game combines the imaginative style of Dofus with some seldom seen RPG features for an entertaining multiplayer experience.
Beyond Souls' Crossing, the Gameplay
Players start out at a celestial transitioning point called Souls' Crossing where they encounter a brief tutorial and then are dropped down into the World of Twelve. Similar to Istaria the game's environment uses an open sandbox style. There's not much direction and very few NPCs delegating quests. Most of the gameplay revolves around monster killing, exploring, and mastering multiple professions. Combat in Wakfu utilizes a tactical turn based system much like Dofus. To initiate a battle players simply click on their opponent and select the attack icon. A placement grid automatically appears with red and green colored tiles representing each user's available movement points. Each player's turn is timed for 30 seconds. Choose to make a move, cast a spell, or execute a direct hit. Battles are intense fights to the death. High level enemies can take forever to kill making combat feel slow paced at times. Every class has their own set of 10 special abilities that can be mastered as a hero levels up and used in battles as well. There are hundreds of cute but challenging creatures to fight. Slay a Bad Meow or take out a team of Tofurbies. Killing critters earn XP. Battles can involve one or multiple monsters against a solo player or team. At any time players can challenge others in a PvP duel. Heroes do not gain any XP for dueling. Battles involving two teams of six are also allowed. Players only earn an opportunity to gloat and a few Citizen Points if the defeated opponent is an enemy of the nation or an outlaw. There is no auto-walk feature. Players have to manually click their way through massive fields and rugged terrain. It makes travelling to and from a destination an arduous task. Periodic challenges become available and flash at the top of the screen to break the monotony of repetitive grinding or aimless meandering. These mini-competitions are timed. They usually have simple objectives like kill the most plant monsters before the buzzard sound off. The winner receives a rare item.
Herbalists to Governors
In the World of Twelve players have up to 16 different professions to choose from, an evolving ecosystem, and a political feature that allows heroes to run for various positions within their nation. All of the professions are interchangeable, once learned. Heroes can freely switch from an herbalist or farmer to a lumberjack at will. Unlike Perpetuum there isn't a steep learning curve for crafting professions. Players receive a two page book on the subject to look over and then they take a quick quiz over the profession's procedure. The entire game is player driven including the ecosystem. Nations have the option of using up all of their resources or maintaining their land's environment. Monsters and plants can be repopulated through the use of seeds or exploited. The in-depth political system allows every hero to become a participating citizen. Vote on local laws and issues once you have earned 100 Citizen Points. Citizen Points are rewarded for being involved in your nation's welfare. To move up the political ranks to a guard or solider in the government you must unlock a particular achievement such as killing a certain amount of outlaws that have been terrorizing your area. To become a candidate for Governor a hero has to possess 1,000 or more Citizen Points. Elections last 48 hours with stationed polls set aside for users to cast their vote. High ranking positions give players additional bonuses along with the prestige.
Haven's Bag or Nothing
NPC item shops do not exist in this game. Shocking, I know. Heroes get all their items from monster drops, crafting, or buying it from another player's Haven's Bag. Haven Bags are enchanted bags that functions as a mobile shop, house, and garden. Heroes can set up a window display within their bag to sell any unwanted items or equipment. This feature works well with the array of professions available. As a baker whip up some breads or switch to a handyman to create a few nice pieces of furniture to display. Tailors are able to make clothes and herbalists can concoct vital remedies to sell or dispense to allies in need. Similar to most player trading options heroes get to set their price. Although virtually any item can be sold in Haven Bags finding a player with the specific item you need is just as random as monster drop rewards. It's always nice to have the security of a placed NPC shop to go to when in need. The lack of item shops makes it hard to acquire powerful gear without relentless grinding. It's not fun. Players have to become a jack-of-all-trades with their profession skills and even then it's only certain items that can be crafted. Occasionally heroes will stumble upon a Haven Bag with a nice assortment of equipment. Weapons like the Gobbhammer, Tofu Staff, Ha Sword, Gobbsword, and Gobblette Wand may be available. Sometimes a user will find extra keys to dungeon instances like the key to the Three Pirates' Cave and sell them. Purple Piwat, Swocks, Belle Ring, Kapow Thongs, Adventurer Helmet, Larvesque Helmet, Moonstone, Gobball Breastplate, Sticky Shield, Tofu Cloak, and Moskito Wings are other gem finds but overall customization is limited.
Final Verdict: Good
Wakfu is a unique and challenging game. Players will find themselves literally lost in a world overflowing with cartoonish yet difficult to beat creatures. Although the map and navigation options could be better, intense tactical turn-based combat is prevalent throughout the game. Fans of Dofus or those new to the genre will appreciate the stylish graphics, in-depth ecosystem, interchangeable professions, political system, and the fact that all of the content is F2P. The open sandbox-like gameplay gives players the freedom to choose their character's destiny but this feature may not be for everyone. If strategy RPGs and fantasy themed games like Istaria are more up your ally than this animated adventure might be worth checking out.

On their own, they're simple household items.
Pressure cookers. Nails. Nylon bags.
But combine them with explosives, and you can get the kind of bombs that investigators now suspect were used to turn the finish line of the Boston Marathon into a bloody nightmare.
Scraps of them found at the scene of the twin bombings are being sent to the FBI's national laboratory, where technicians will try to reconstruct the devices, the federal agent leading the investigation said Tuesday. Meanwhile, investigators combed through a digital mountain of photos and video clips and asked the public for help finding who planted them at two points on Boylston Street.
"Someone knows who did this," said Rick DesLauriers, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Boston office. "Cooperation from the community will play a crucial role in this investigation."
DesLauriers asked people to report anyone who talked about targeting Monday's race or showed interest in explosives. He urged anyone who might have heard the sounds of explosions in remote areas -- possibly by someone testing a bomb -- or saw someone carrying "an unusually heavy, dark-colored bag" around Monday to come forward.
There has been no claim of responsibility, DesLauriers said. "The range of suspects and motives remains wide open," he said.
The U.S. government has warned federal agencies in the past that pressure cookers -- airtight pots used to quickly cook or preserve foods -- have been packed with explosives and shrapnel and detonated with blasting camps. A law enforcement official said Monday's bombs were likely detonated by timers.
Photos obtained by CNN showed the remains of a pressure cooker found at the scene, along with a shredded black backpack and what appear to be metal pellets or ball bearings. A federal law enforcement source told CNN the photos were included in a bulletin sent to federal law enforcement agencies.
The pieces recovered so far suggest the devices, which were identical, could carry 6 liters (1.5 gallons) of liquid apiece, a Boston law enforcement source said. The parts found include a partial circuit board, which would be used to detonate a device.
'Very effective' bombs
Pressure cooker bombs can be "very effective," terrorism expert Jeff Beatty told CNN. Taliban and al Qaeda militants "use them to make their IEDs," he said.
"That doesn't mean it was the Taliban -- other people can read about this," said Beatty, who served in the FBI, CIA and the military's Delta Force.
But so far, investigators have found no foreign or al Qaeda connection to the bombings, a U.S. official told CNN. And Sen. Saxby Chambliss, the ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters in Washington that some of the facts suggest the carnage had its roots in American soil.
"There are a lot of things that are surrounding this that would give an indication that it may have been a domestic terrorist, but that just can't be assumed," Chambliss said.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the bombings don't appear to be harbingers of "a broader plot." But she urged Americans "to remain vigilant and immediately report any signs of suspicious activity to local law enforcement officials."
And members of Congress who were briefed by Obama administration officials on told reporters that the field of possible suspects remains wide open.
"We really don't know if it's a foreign or domestic threat," said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Homeland Security Commitee. "We don't know whether this was a homegrown terrorist or part of a wider conspiracy."
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper held closed-door talks with the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday. Chambliss,R-Georgia, told reporters afterward that "there's not a whole lot of update to give."
"This is a very fluid investigation. The FBI's in the lead, and I personally know the special agent in charge. He's one of the best," Chambliss said.
Late Monday, authorities searched the apartment of a young Saudi man who was among the wounded at the race. He was found to have no connection to the attack.
"He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time," the U.S. official said.
A Saudi woman, a medical student who was also injured in the blast, has also been interviewed by investigators, according to a law enforcement source.
Boston's 'most complex crime scene' ever
Investigators are combing what Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis called "the most complex crime scene that we've dealt with in the history of our department." The cordoned off area has been reduced from 15 blocks to 12 and will be reduced further in coming days, he said.

EC epsilon from Bioanalytical Systems
The epsilon from BASi is a revolutionary new family of potentiostat/galvanostats that has been designed to allow the user great flexibility in choosing their particular instrument. The most basic epsilon instrument can be used for standard techniques listed above, as well as chronopotentiometry, making it ideal for the teaching lab or for materials characterization (e.g., characterization of transition metal complexes by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis, or of biosensors by cyclic voltammetry and constant potential amperometry). Pulse, square wave, and stripping techniques can be added by a software upgrade, and a second channel can be added by a hardware upgrade.

System Emulation with QEMU
Do you ever wish you could run Linux within Linux? Or how about DOS within Linux? QEMU is an open source application that lets you emulate a complete hardware environment within your Linux system.
Linux supports several applications that let you emulate the conditions of a hardware architecture. These applications can create a virtual computer within your Linux machine. You can use this virtual computer to test software or even run another operating system. An application that emulates a hardware environment is known as a system emulator. The most common system emulators for Linux are Bochs [1], a very powerful emulator that is often difficult to configure, and VMware [2], a very good and very fast emulator that, unfortunately, comes with a higher price because it is a commercial product. But another competitor in the field of system emulation is coming on the scene. In this article you'll learn about the power-ful (and free) QEMU system emulator application. QEMU is extremely easy to use, and it provides simple commands for tasks that may be difficult with other emulators. I'll show you how to use QEMU in some real situations, but keep in mind that this article only covers a fraction of the features and commands available with QEMU. To see the rest, download QEMU yourself and put it to work.

Thousands hurt in accidents near Worcestershire schools
8:00pm Thursday 5th September 2013 in News By Ian Craig
MORE than 550 children and almost 4,000 adults have been hit by cars near schools in Worcestershire over the past six years.
The figures were revealed in a survey by AXA insurance and research company Road Safety Analysis, which revealed 557,200 crashes took place within 500 metres of schools from 2006 to 2011, 85,814 of them resulting in a child being killed or injured.
Out of the 4,476 accidents recorded in Worcestershire during this period, 59 of them resulted in children being killed or seriously injured, with a further 500 resulting in less serious injuries.
The remaining 3,917 involved adults.
The survey is part of a national online database being put together by the two organisations showing the number of accidents around 29,142 schools in the country along with whether children or adults were involved as well as other data.
With the new school year starting this week, James Barclay, of AXA Car Insurance, said he hoped the database would help parents and other adults understand the risks involved in travelling to and from school.
"Child road safety is of paramount importance to everyone in Britain so the more that can be done to understand the facts, and therefore adapt infrastructure or education methods, the better," he said.
"The Local Road Safety Index is a big step towards being able to truly understand how the infrastructure within local areas around schools needs to be developed to make roads safer for children."
The survey showed there were 557,200 collisions within 500 metres of a school during the six-year period – an average of six per school per year – with the greatest number of injuries recorded in Manchester, Liverpool and Nottingham.
Welsh drivers seem to be the safest, with Cardiff and Swansea showing the lowest number of crashes near schools. Although 37 per cent of school areas have had at least one child killed on their roads every year, 20 per cent reported none at all over the six-year period.
Road Safety Analysis director Dan Campsall said it was important for parents, schools and local authorities to have the data available and he hoped the database would help in this.
"The data can be used to support changes in local road safety education as well as the road environment, therefore helping to further safeguard pupils across the country,"
he said.

I will highlight these figures during my Laid-Back Music Show on North Cotswold Community Radio on Monday (9th) from 8pm. Hopefully it will remind people of the extra care needed near schools.
Worcestershire has a policy of considering 20mph limits immediately outside schools. The big, big problem is that typically this only covers 17% of a childs journey to school. All the congestion as cars drop children off also mean they have little overall effect as cars have tp reduce their speeds anyway.
There is now compelling evidence for area wide 20mph limits as they substantially reduce the number and severity of accidents. It may add a minute to typical commuter times, but brings wide ranging benefits for residents and all road users including drivers.
Meanwhile Worcestershire County Council have yet again turned down the opportunity to investigate the advantages of adopting 20mph as the default speed for our residential streets

Water For Life and/or For Money
It occurred to me as I was having my morning coffee that I advise readers in The Green Blue Book that it may take several cups of water to brew a cup of coffee, but it takes 37 gallons to actually make the coffee for that cup. The water it takes to grow the coffee outweighs the water it takes to make a cup, I write.
I left something out. Who makes and how the coffee is produced are crucial to water savings around the world. No, I am not talking about you in your bathrobe standing in front of your coffeemaker. I am talking about the companies responsible for producing the coffee that ends up in your cabinet.
Coffee growers that embrace fair trade principles ensure your buzz comes from plantations that practice sustainable, socially responsible coffee farming and that means better quality and more responsible use of water.
Starbucks, of course, is the brand that jumps to mind for many of us when we think about coffee. Yesterday, I was given some information on what steps it is taking to reduce its water footprint not only in the field, but also in stores.
On a gallons-per-square-foot of store space, Starbucks has actually reduced its water usage by about 10% over the last two years. And its done so by some relatively simple steps. It uses more efficient dishwashers, better coolers to reduce ice melt, and is mandating that all new stores be LEED certified, which will reduce by the equivalent of two households worth of water-use the total amount of water each store uses.
I found this really interesting. It wasn't some techno savvy and cost-intensive operational program seemingly thought up by some fancy consulting firm. The savings came in practices we can all adopt: filling our dishwashers and using them instead of washing by hand (saving a household 2,300 gallons of water per year). Or not letting the ice cubes in our freezers melt away so quickly. (That means preventing little Jimmy from opening and closing the freezer door a lot.) Savings from one tray of cubes across every household in America: 10 million gallons of water.
Simple steps add up, whether on a corporate basis, or individually. Businesses and consumers can combine efforts to shore up water supplies. In the end, we need each other. As a wake up call and reminder to that: The top five beverage companies use as much water on an annual basis as the entire worlds population.
We both share in the planets water supply and we both have vested interests in keeping it sustainable: for life and/or for money.

Xiao Ping sighed as he watched the owner of the rabbit took it away. "That could have been my dinner." Xiao Ping whispered.
"What's that? Did you say something?" ZhiXuan asked.
"What?... No, I didn't say.... anything." Xiao Ping stuttered. "Do you have any plans for the future?" Xiao Ping said looking up at the sky.
"For the future?...No why?" Zhi Xuan responded.
"No, no reason at all. I was just wondering. Wondering about what will become of me in the future. Will I continue to remain a lowly beggar?" Xiao Ping sighed once more.
Having known his personality, Hearing Xiao Ping's comment caused Zhi Xuan to laugh. "You're actually worried?" She said giggling.
"What's so funny? I can be serious at times too, you know." He refuted.
"Ok, I'll stop laughing now. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll become a very important person." She said with a smile.
"Wow, you really mean it?"
"Yea, I really do."
"Thanks a lot, that made me feel much better now." Xiao Ping then placed both his hands behind his head. "I'll treat you to a dinner sometime."
"To those leftovers? No thanks, I'll pass." Zhi Xuan said, immediately turning Xiao Ping down.
"Well then, you really don't know what you're missing." Xiao Ping said as he continued to look at the sky above them. Then he suddenly remembered something. "Ai! I almost forgot about them! Sorry, I must go now. I talk to you at some other time." He said with a smile and without waiting for Zhi Xuan to reply, he raced back to his home, a ran down temple somewhere outside the city.

text: Home Politics Tough Voting Protections: Fair? A voting-rights bill that says districts need federal approval to change laws may not reflect the times. By: Farai Chideya Posted: Jan. 26 2013 12:15 AM 0 William Barney casts his ballot at polling place in Glendale, Calif. (Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images) (The Root) -- Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act says that certain jurisdictions can change their voting laws only with federal approval or by winning a court challenge. This part was first enacted in 1965 as a temporary law. It took a hard look at states and districts with low voter participation and regulations on the books that made it hard for citizens to register or vote. While some entire Southern states, including Louisiana, have been covered by that section of the bill, there are districts in places as far-flung as North Dakota and New York that also have to meet this special criterion. The law has since been re-upped several times (most recently in 2006) and currently is authorized through 2031 ... unless a forthcoming challenge before the Supreme Court changes the game. Late last year the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case Shelby County v. Holder. In it, prosecutors in Shelby County, Ala., examined whether the 2006 reauthorization of Section 5 actually trampled on states' rights granted by the 10th Amendment, which says, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Lawyers are currently scheduled to begin their arguments late next month. So is Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act an anachronism? When it was first enacted, black voter participation in some Southern states was less than 10 percent because of tactics including intimidation and literacy tests. The situation was very different in 2012, at least in terms of who made it to the polls. As the Pew Research Center put it: "Blacks voted at a higher rate this year than other minority groups and for the first time in history may also have voted at a higher rate than whites, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of census data, election day exit poll data and vote totals from selected cities and counties." But the same black voters who exceeded turnout expectations faced huge struggles at the ballot box. In Florida, Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, refused to extend early-voting hours. "Extend" might be the wrong way to put it, since the Republican-led Legislature had already cut the number of early voting days from 14 to eight. People who typically might use early voting as a way to avoid the Election Day crush and get to work on time ended up waiting six or more hours to vote. The news organization Politico, which usually focuses on the minutiae of Beltway strategy, published a blistering piece by venerable reporter Roger Simon, calling out the GOP's voter-suppression tactics, including in Florida. To summarize: Black and other nonwhite voters are not nearly as vulnerable as they were when Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act was first written into law. They are better equipped to participate in the voting process -- albeit in some cases despite their local governments rather than because of them. Granted, there are some federal efforts to protect voting rights -- such as the Voter Empowerment Act (pdf), a bill introduced by Democratic members of Congress including Rep. John Lewis of Georgia and Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, which, if passed, is designed to ensure equal access to polling places and modernize the voting process. That returns us, then, to the original question: Is it fair to hold some jurisdictions to a higher level of scrutiny than others? Is Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act an anachronism -- and an unfair one at that? Natasha Korgaonkar of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund told The Root, "Section 5 is a checkpoint for our country's democracy. It's the heart of [the] Voting Rights Act. All or part of the 16 states with the worst histories of voter discrimination have to prove their [new] laws are free of discrimination before those laws take effect.

All That Glitters Is Not Cocoa (Part III of The Chocolate Covered Kitchen Goes High Tech)
April 14th 2011 Posted at Uncategorized
7 Comments
[This is Part III of the thrilling trilogy, "The Chocolate Covered Kitchen Goes High Tech." In Part I our intrepid protagonist upgraded her blog and bought an airbrush, which she courageously confronted in Part II. Now, she tries something desperate . . .]
So there I was. Face to face with my empty molds. My efforts to master airbrushing chocolates on my very first try had failed miserably, but I was not giving up. Where modern technology had failed me, primitive physics would prevail. Not that I know the first thing about physics, but I figured I could always jury-rig something together with enough gravity and a few beauty supplies. Read More…

1356 Broadway, the landmark Haier Building, was originally constructed in 1922-1924 as the Greenwich Bank Building, designed by architects Edward Palmer York and Philip Sawyer. Haier America acquired the building in 2002 and it now serves as the company's headquarters.
Identified as one of the most refined examples of York & Sawyer bank buildings by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the building is constructed in a classical Roman style encompassing a rusticated podium, monumental Corinthian columns, and a high attic.
The main entrance has two four-panel double bronze doors, leading into the 52,000 square foot interior. The exterior is clad in Indiana limestone above a polished pink granite base.
The building's location at Broadway and 36th Street presented some architectural challenges at the time of its construction; specifically the irregular quadrilateral created by Broadway's diagonal axis, and the gentle downward slope from 6th Avenue to Broadway. The three facades were skillfully composed, obscuring these inequalities.
In December 2002, cosmetic renovations and upgrades to the building's infrastructure were completed.

Tories vs. student unions, Lakehead law & #StandWithLanden
What students are talking about today (February 26th)
1. Lakehead University students say that the school's decision to change a course that will be offered in the new law program will water down the Aboriginal Studies component, reports CBC News. Lee Stuesser, the law school's dean, says it will still address First Nations issues and that one reason for the change is that past Ontario law deans have raised concerns about non-law courses taught in law schools. "I felt the best thing to do was to make it a law course because my experience over the years has been that law students like law courses, and if they perceive something's not a law course, then there's a large measure of dissatisfaction," he told CBC. Coincidentally, a new report from Frank Iacobucci, a former justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, says this country needs to urgently address the crisis of Aboriginal under-representation on juries. While on the topic of legal education, Memorial University of Newfoundland has announced it's exploring the feasibility of a law school in St. John's.

Sand Dams Voted Best Solution in Water Crisis Debate
Sand dams are an ancient water-saving technique that is thousands of years old and could prove to save millions of lives from drought. They are constructed out of concrete barriers 1-5m high and filled with sand. When seasonal rains fall, water collects behind the dam. The sand acts like a sponge and filters the water and slows evaporation. Clean water can be drawn for up to several months after the rains have fallen through pipes underneath the dams or by digging a hole in the sand.
Simon Maddrell, the executive director of Excellent Development, won the major prize after pitching his idea to a group of experts.
The ancient technique was developed by the Romans in 400BC but is continuing to prove very effective today. Excellent Development has built 250 sand dams in Africa already, providing water for 250,000 people. According to some, these sand dams have the potential to give up to 3 million people access to clean water in the drylands of Africa.
This implementation would be of particular benefit to women because women do most of the farming in these African villages, and sometimes they spend up to 5-6 hours a day just collecting water. Sand dams close to their village would reduce this to just an hour a day.

High Voltage would like to make a sequel to The Conduit
High Voltage has stated via a Radio-Blodec podcast that it plans on a least one sequel to The Conduit.
"It all depends on the fans and sales but it's a little early for now to assume anything," said producer Joshua Olsen. "Anyway, we are very interested to make a sequel to The Conduit, it's quite a robust world and there are more stories we want to tell.
"The Conduit is the first part for our hero and we want to make more parts to tell more things about him."
While it sounds like a sequel is definite, Olsen was quick to point out that High Voltage has not started on one yet.
Thanks, GoNintendo.

The Conduit gets 8.6 from IGN
IGN's given The Conduit 8.6/10, which is likely to come as relief to the Wii "hardcore". Snip:
It's not revolutionary, but the Conduit is a great first-person shooter designed just for Wii owners. While the game does not turn the genre upside-down, it is innovative in certain areas — for example, it features the most customizable, precise and enjoyable controls of any console shooter created, hands down.
The campaign's five-to-eight hours long, apparently. Sounds like it could be a lot worse. Hit the link for the full thing.

Sega delays Euro release for The Conduit
The Conduit, originally planned for a UK release on June 26, will instead arrive in stores July 10.
Sega UK says it's a localization issue on the European version, and there have been no changes to the North American date for next week.
The High Voltage Software-developed FPS is a Wii exclusive.

Second new High Voltage game is The Grinder
High Voltage has announced The Grinder via IGN, a Wii horror FPS that supports four-way play a la Left 4 Dead.
The news comes after the firm yesterday showed grisly Wii fighter Gladiator A.D. for the first time.
There's a four page interview and screens through there.
Tue, May 26, 2009 | 07:36 BST
Gladiator A.D. revealed as New High Voltage title, another to be shown tomorrow
IGN, as promised, has revealed the next High Voltage game to be Gladiator A.D., a "next step in filling the holes in the Wii's library," according to dev boss Kerry Ganofsky.
Players choose a Gladiator, each with unique attacks, behaviors, moves, and weapons. They then battle through a series of competitions, some one-on-one and some "much more complex".
It's out Q1 2010, and High Voltage hopes "Gladiator A.D. is going to redefine the fighting game genre on the Wii."
Hooray to that. Another new High Voltage game is to be shown exclusively on IGN tomorrow.
Thanks, Centipede.

Next High Voltage game to be announced today
IGN's Twitter's confirmed a Memorial Day reveal for High Voltage's new game.
Looks like another Wii effort, assuming "Matt" is Herr Casamassina.
The developer's post-Conduit project was supposed to be an E3 announcement, but you'd better get used to seeing everything first on IGN in the next few weeks. It's the way of things.

Conduit creators to unveil new IP at E3
High Voltage has said that it will be unveiling a brand new unannounced IP to behind closed media types at E3 next month.
From the release:
"2009 is already shaping up to be a groundbreaking year for this studio," said Kerry J. Ganofsky, CEO and founder of High Voltage Software. "The release of The Conduit is just around the corner and there is more to come. We feel that E3 is the perfect opportunity to show off our hard work and give a taste of our very latest project."
"I won't say much about our new property until we unveil it at E3," said Eric Nofsinger, Chief Creative Officer of High Voltage Software. "But I can guarantee that we are continuing to push our technology to the absolute limit in order to deliver experiences that are beyond jaw-dropping."

High Voltage to show two Wii exclusives at E3
Eric Nofsinger has stated that High Voltage will be showing crowds at E3 this year two new Wii exclusives.
Both, he said, are first-person shooters capable of hosting five dozen onscreen foes at minimum.
Speaking with Nintendo Master, Nofsinger told the French site that the firm wants to "do some things that are very, very rare, even on the 360 or PS3."
"Our goal with The Conduit was to make a game that was the most graphically impressive for the Wii," he said. Our goal with these upcoming games is to do some things that are very, very rare, even on the 360 or PS3. Some of the things we're doing with sheer number of enemies onscreen and things like that are very impressive.
"We've got a demo that we'll be showing, where the average number of enemies on the screen at a given time is 65. And it goes up. There's areas where you go onto a vista and there's an incredible number of enemies."
Come on E3, hurry up already.

The Conduit slips to "summer," gets multiplayer trailer
Sega release a trailer of High Voltage's The Conduit this afternoon, as you can see after the break.
The end of the video unfortunately tells of a slip to "summer" from "spring".
Let's hope the Wii shooter doesn't feel like watching the leaves fall off the trees.
Take a look.

MotionPlus not included in The Conduit because it didn't "fit"
High Voltage boss Eric Nofsinger has told 1UP that Wii MotionPlus won't be included in sci-fi shooter The Conduit because it didn't really add anything.
Fair enough.
"When we actually implemented it for The Conduit, it didn't really add anything for our primarily ranged combat," he said.
"We had hoped that it would allow for better off screen IR tracking, but the device seems to lend itself more naturally for hand to hand combat where the player can calibrate in-between bouts. And that just doesn't feel like an optimal fit for how we had designed our moment to moment gameplay."
There's still no date on the release of Wii MotionPlus.
The Conduit's out this "spring".

New Conduit shots released in duplicate
CVG's published a set of new Conduit shots twice, for some reason. There's nowt queer as folk.

Confirmed: Sega takes The Conduit
Sega's press released a deal to publish Wii shooter The Conduit.
"The Conduit is one of the most talked-about Wii games this year and High Voltage Software has only scratched the surface of the game in terms of what they have shown so far," said Simon Jeffery, Sega US boss.
"They have proven that graphical and technological innovation can be exciting to the Wii market, and SEGA is thrilled to partner with a team that truly shares our belief in the Wii's gaming potential beyond the casual market."

You need new ideas. The pressure is on and the competition is tougher than ever. When the rate of external change exceeds the rate of internal change, it's time to power up your brainstorming to generate creative ideas.
Traditional brainstorming has been around for decades. But new variations have developed on the old brainstorming theme. Here are three examples I have found useful. Try one of these approaches the next time ideas need to flow:
Brainwaving: Works well with a quiet or introverted group.
When people like to think for a few minutes, their ideas can get lost in a traditional brainstorming session, or their pace can slow the forward motion of the group. Brainwaving gives them a chance to contribute and keeps the entire group "on the same page."
Here's how:
Affinity Diagram: Categorizes ideas by theme for further action.
The level of interaction and engagement in this technique helps build consensus and commitment. Use this with groups as large as 20 people.
Here's how:
Webinar Round Robin: Brings brainstorming into the Internet era.
Many meetings are now Web based. But how do you brainstorm in a Web-based environment? To use this technique, you'll need meeting software with a "chat" function that will allow you to "cut and paste."
Here's how:
An excellent reference on brainstorming is Brian Cole Miller's book, "Quick Brainstorming Activities for Busy Managers."
As the world becomes more complex and the rate of change accelerates, innovation and new ideas are the lifeblood of survival. Use these techniques to power up your brainstorming and charge up the creativity so critical to your future.

welcome to b.o.g hotel
Luxury Hotels in Bogota Colombia
Bogotá's luxury B.O.G. Hotel is a destination of many firsts: The first Design Hotels property in Colombia, the first hotel to showcase the award-winning cuisine of one of Colombia's most recognized chefs, Leonor Espinosa, and the first and only choice of savvy international travelers visiting Bogotá on business or leisure. The word "golden" evokes feelings of perfection; of flawlessness and beauty. This describes the complete sensory experience you will find at the luxury B.O.G. Hotel in Bogotá, Colombia. You will see exquisite and unique interior design, created to bathe you in rich gold tones. You will notice a light citrus scent wafting through the air, specially designed for the B.O.G. hotel. You will taste the perfection of a renowned chef holding true to Colombian gastronomical tradition while fusing her talents with fresh tastes with international twists. Your sense of touch will come alive with intricately textured surfaces throughout the hotel, from the smooth gold surfaces of the lobby to the jute and fiber rugs in the bar. You will hear the musical strains of a musical set created for the hotel by well-known Colombian DJ Ilana.
The golden experience of the luxury B.O.G. Hotel will be evident the moment you step into the lobby. To complement the minimalist geometric architecture, internationally acclaimed designer Nini Andrade Silva infused the hotel's interiors and rooms with a symphony of rich textures and colors inspired by Colombia's signature natural treasures: gold and emeralds. After a day of exploring the wonders of Bogotá, the rooftop's heated swimming pool offers a welcome respite with commanding sightlines of the entire city and green mountains beyond. For dining and cocktailing, guests may choose from a pair of decadent settings - LA LEO restaurant and the Lounge Bar.
Perfectly located in the exclusive and trendy neighborhood of "La Cabrera" in the North of Bogotá, the hotel caters to those guests with luxurious lifestyles who appreciate indulgences and require access to the cosmopolitan epicenter of the city's best shopping, dining and nightlife.
We invite you to experience Colombia from an ultra-chic and fashionable perspective, where bespoke service and dramatic views of the Bogotá skyline offer a breathtaking backdrop to every stay.

Not Quite Hollywood - The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation - DVD
Filmmaker Mark Hartley explores Australia's hidden genre in this documentary that casually casts aside "official" film history to celebrate the demented genius of director Brian Trenchard-Smith, and the exciting wave of little-known but supremely entertaining films that entertained adventurous Australian filmgoers throughout the 1970s and '80s. Every film student worth his or her weight in celluloid has seen Breaker Morant and Picnic at Hanging Rock, but what about the lesser-known gems that didn't make the film-school textbooks? In his forward to Tim Lucas' book Mario Bava - All the Colors of the Dark, director Martin Scorsese states, "We have to keep resisting the idea of official film history, a stately procession of 'important works' that leaves some of the most exciting films and filmmakers tucked away in the shadows." In this documentary, director Hartley explores the films forgotten by "official film history" with the comprehensive eye of a true film buff. As a child watching such films as Snapshot and The Man from Hong Kong, Hartley immediately recognized how wildly disparate they were in tone and execution from the films that comprised Australia's traditional film library. Appearing like American genre films that just happened to be shot in Australia and cast with Australian actors, these so-called "Ozploitation" flicks flourished in the wake of relaxed censorship laws down under. Yet despite constant chatter about the "new wave" of Australian cinema, financially successful films like The Man from Hong Kong and Patrick that were popular both at home and abroad were never mentioned, sneeringly dismissed as "genre" films rather than Australian films. Perhaps in the wake of such successful Australian films as Wolf Creek and Undead -- and looking ahead to such films as the slasher shocker Storm Warning and the eagerly anticipated remake of Long Weekend -- curious filmgoers are finally prepared to discover what they've been missing all these years. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
From Dusk Till Dawn Triple Pack
Includes:From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), MPAA Rating: R From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money (1998), MPAA Rating: R From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter (1999), MPAA Rating: R From Dusk Till Dawn In this action-horror flick from director Robert Rodriguez and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino, Tarantino stars with George Clooney as a pair of bad-to-the-bone brothers named Seth and Richie Gecko. After a string of robberies that left a river of blood in the Geckos' wake, the sadistic siblings head to Mexico to live the good life. To get over the border, they kidnap Jacob Fuller, a widowed preacher played by Harvey Keitel, and his two children, Kate (Juliette Lewis) and Scott (Ernest Liu). Once south of the border, the quintet park their RV at a rough-and-tumble trucker bar called The Titty Twister, where Seth and Richie are supposed to meet a local thug. After a couple of drinks, they realize that they're not in a typical bar, as the entire place begins to teem with vicious, blood-sucking vampires. With the odds stacked greatly against them, the Fullers and Geckos team together in hopes of defeating the creatures of the night. Makeup artist Tom Savini and blaxploitation star Fred Williamson appear as allies against the vampires, and Cheech Marin fills three different roles. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money This sequel attempts to ape the inventive blend of horror, comedy, and crime melodrama of its predecessor, with some creative direction by actor Sam Spiegel, a protégé of Sam Raimi. Buck (Robert Patrick) is a former bank robber who's being watched closely by Sheriff Lawson (Bo Hopkins). Lawson's suspicions are well-founded, because Buck is indeed planning a multimillion-dollar bank heist in Mexico, to be aided by prison escapee Luther (Duane Whitaker), rodeo star C.W. (Muse Watson), dog trainer Jesus (Raymond Cruz) and security guard Ray Bob (Brett Harrelson). While on his way to meet up with the gang, Luther encounters bat-related car trouble near the Titty Twister, a dive bar featured in the first film. Offered a lift by Razor Eddie (Danny Trejo), Luther ends up with a pair of fangs in his neck. When he finally meets up with his cronies, Luther turns Jesus into a fellow vampire, unbeknownst to the rest of the gang, who proceed with their caper plans accompanied by two cohorts now more interested in blood than cash. The film was followed by a prequel, From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter (2000). ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter An outlaw who recently defied death by escaping his noose is on the run with his gang and the daughter of his intended executioner in this prequel to the 1996 series original, From Dusk Til Dawn. ~ All Movie Guide
