"Big Red Likey"

"Very nice and clean."
Wonderful jacuzzi and pool. Rooms were clean and the breakfast bar was kept stocked and clean.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
I was very much pleased with the location, cleanliness and the southern hospitality.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
"average hotel for price"
Rooms was of average size somewhat older in appearance. Indoor pool and hot tub were both too cold to use. Staff was freindly and pleasant. Breakfast was as expected, but nothing special. Overall I would say as expected other than the pool which was the main factor in picking this location over others in the area with only seasonal outdoor pools. Whatever […] you do if you stay here don't order pizza from the Acropolis. This is possilbly the worst I've ever had and not cheap either. อ่านเพิ่มเติมความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
"Nice hotel near to an outdoor mall"
This hotel is outside of the main area of Asheville but very close to the airport and provides shuttle service to the airport and back as well as to the outdoor mall. The staff were very friendly and helpful through out my stay.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Expedia
"Nice hotel close to outdoor mall"
I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. It is very close to the airport and has a shuttle service-which is why I choose it. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The indoor pool was great to swim in. The continental breakfast offered fresh items every day. The unexpected treat was the outdoor mall about a block away. I spent a day there walking […] around shopping. I was able to walk there from the hotel or the shuttle would drop off and pick up every day. I would return to this hotel again. อ่านเพิ่มเติมความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Expedia

"Barely adequate."
Hotel was clean but in need of significant upgrades. Continental breakfast was average.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Expedia
"Good location in Asheville NC"
This hotel is in a good location in Asheville. It is immediately off I-26. It is right across from Biltmore Park which has a lot of shops, etc. Lake Julian and the airport are also very close. It is not far from Biltmore House and reasonably priced for close to Biltmore House. The indoor pool is much nicer than most hotels of this price. The next time […] I in Asheville, I'll stay here again. อ่านเพิ่มเติมความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Expedia
"No refrigerator and Microwave in room"
Despite the hotel summary claiming otherwise, we didn't get a Refrigerator and microwave in the room. Refrigerator was available for rental ( more money). TV was really old model & rooms were not clean. Service was slow and sluggish. Overall dissatisfied with the hotel compared to services and amenities offered at similarly priced hotels.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
"Assisting son in moving"
It was goodความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
"Over priced"
This hotel is completely over priced. The grout in the bath tub was black, the bottom of the tub was starting to turn black also. The shower curtain rod was pulling out of the wall. There was a sticky spot on the carpeting. The breakfast area was out of cups for both coffee and juice and most of the food. Overall the place was dirty and looked run down […] and very dated. I what I got from this hotel I would expect from a hotel brand that is known for cheap rates. อ่านเพิ่มเติมความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
"Very nice, easy access to freeway"
Everything was great with the exception of showering. Very little water pressure, not very enjoyable, otherwise, it was a very nice stay. We would consider staying there again, our daughter will be attending UNC Asheville. So we will be in the area several times throughout the year, we are from Ohio, so not only is a comfortable stay important to us […] after a 7 hour drive, but having easy access to the freeway, and being in a quiet and not terribly busy area is important to us as well. We feel that your hotel provided those things for us, but that water pressure issue kind of turned us off. That would be my only complaint at this point, otherwise again, we enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Up and out early each AM. Breakfast was hot sausages and eggs along with waffles which was great for the family to start day. Room and beds were nice. Did not have a little clothes rack to hang clothes in our double Queen room?? Other wise very nice Hotel.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
"Quality - Biltmore"
Room clean, comfortable bed, and quite. Fitness center, pool, and breakfast good. Spa has odd on/off switch location. The desk/chair work space was close but adequate. Some maintenance work was being done but did not interfere with by stay. Would stay again.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com

quite; near Ashville place for entertainment and shopping. interesting in that the room did not have a clothes closet. just a cabinet. rooms and building appear dated.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Expedia

"Great for the money"
This was a very nice place. Very clean and the staff was great. Very pleasant and accommodating. They even took us over to the village shopping in their shuttle and dropped us off at a restaurant for lunch and came back and got us. Would definitely stay here again.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
No internet available in individual rooms, so we had to work on our laptops in the lobby. Somewhat clean and comfortable conditions given the low price. Across the street from Biltmore Park, which has several nice restaurants, a movie theater, and some shopping. Very convenient to I-26, which we used to access downtown Asheville and the airport.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
Indoor pool is not heated so don't plan on pool time with the kids if the temperature outside is 65 or less!ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
The problem we had was that they said we requested a smoking room which we did not. They did not have a non smoking room since the hotel was completely booked. We had no choice but to take the room, it was not too bad in the room since we kept the window open all night. The problem was the hall. I suggest that you double check to make sure you are getting […] the room you really want. อ่านเพิ่มเติมความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
"Great choice"
Stayed in the hotel before and after a trip out of the country. Made the 1st reservation on line.At the time I wasn't sure what I would do on the return trip. After my nights stay I definitely wanted to stay there on my way back thru. The room was large, comfortable bed, lots of plump pillows (big deal to me), lots of towels, and everything looked and […] felt very clean. I needed transportation from and to the airport (which was just minutes from this hotel) and the arrangements were so easy to make and greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend this hotel. อ่านเพิ่มเติมความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
"Good Value"
Hotel was clean. The only improvments would be to heat the main indoor pool. It was FREEZING and it wasnt even that cold out yet. Whats the point of an indoor pool if you cant use it. The other thing was the breakfast was very pitiful. They only had 1 type of cerial - Rasin Bran. YUCK! I mean at least 50% of the population HATES rasins. Duh. Also they […] had egg patties but nothing to go on them, no ketchup, no cheese, no salt and pepper!!! Stale bread, and a few muffins. They did have yogurt thankfully. อ่านเพิ่มเติมความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com

Hotel rooms need an update. Carpet in room was filthy, bathroom was dingy, and needed repair, furniture is old, and tv did not work properly. Hotel staff were very pleasant. Main areas of hotel were in better shape than the room.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
"Overall a very nice hotel and I recommend it."
Great hotel overall, but wifi needs more bandwidth all the simultaneous users. It slows down when busy. This is true with many hotels and the wifi was better here then in some other once I have used. Negatives: no microwave or fridge in the rooms (at least not in ours).ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Expedia

"Close to Biltmore Property"
This was the most reasonably priced hotel close to the Biltmore property. It wasn't luxurious, but it had a comfortable bed and nice linens. The only issues we had with the room were that there were loose/moldy tiles in the shower and that the chair had some kind of nasty stain on it that should have been cleaned off. The remainder of the room was fairly […] clean - the ususal bit of dust in places and nothing major. I would stay here again. อ่านเพิ่มเติมความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
I would not stay here again. The room was worn around the adges, bordering on shabby. Bathroom was tiny. Bed not comfortable..For the price it was awful. I paid the same rate as two other locations on a long distance trip and they other motels were excellent.. Very disappointing for the price.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com

"Needs new beds"
The basic problem was the beds (in 2 queen room). They were overly worn... one was so worn you could see the indentation in the bed, very uncomfortable to sleep in. Other than the condition of the beds, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, overall cleanliness was average.ความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Expedia

"Ok for one night close to Biltmore"
Overall it was fine for one night. We wanted a non-smoking room, which we were given. However the floor it was on was smoking on one end and non-smoking on the other. This was not good because the smoke was horrible the minute you stepped into the hallway!!! We told the front desk personnel. She was sympathetic and said she had told the manager several […] times this was a problem but nothing had been done to resolve the issue. The only other thing was the breakfast was not all that good, coffee bad and there not much to choose from. We ended up going to eat somewhere else. อ่านเพิ่มเติมความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com

Door locks not very good; took several card swipes every time; couldn't get in the side door with room card; when reporting this to the desk, the clerk added my complaint to a long list of the same complaint. Service and breakfast mediocre. Had to ask to get the exercise room opened, which should have been opened 45 minutes earlier. The treadmill was […] not working. Clerk didn't seem to take my complaints seriously. Instant coffee served instead of brewed, yuck!

"Very convient to Biltmore Park & highways"
I stayed here one night before a job interview in Biltmore Park. It was super convenient to the highway and to Biltmore Park, where there is a movie theatre and plenty of bars & restaurants. The pool was nice and the hot tub was OK (hot but jets were messed up). The breakfast was decent - they have hard boiled eggs and waffles and such, but the coffee […] was pretty poor and there was not real cream (I used a little carton of milk, which seemed wasteful). Parking was easy. And the staff was wonderful - very friendly and helpful. I did have a room on the highway side and could hear some traffic noise. But between the fan on the A/C and my travel ear plugs, it didn't bother me. A bus decided to back up in the middle of the night and I found it's beeping more bothersome than anything. Overall, I recommend this hotel. อ่านเพิ่มเติมความคิดเห็นจริงจากผู้เข้าพักของ Hotels.com
"Over Priced"
The room smelled and had a large patch of carpet cut out and replaced in the the middle of floor. The rest of the carpet was threadbare. This place is pretty much a dump and should be avoided.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo Bag, Handbag of the Day
The smooth black leather and richly hued goldtone hardware on this Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo Bag make for an appealing and classy combination, and I'm particularly drawn to the structured puffiness and narrow depth that give it a sophisticated but casual sense of glam. It has both a single short handle and a longer detachable shoulder strap, a hardware plaque front and center stamped with the designer's logo, magnetic fastening top closure, two interior pockets, and a lining of black and white designer-name print. A lovely seasonless investment. $395

The Going Stays Rough for California VFX Houses
After hearing that CafeFX had gone on hiatus, I started perusing the visual effects news on the net and came across Canada's Rainmaker's first quarter report for this year. Here's the link: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/rainmaker-reports-results-for-the-three.... Down several paragraphs from the top is this one:
"On February 3, 2010, the provincial government announced increases to the existing production service tax credits and the existing digital and visual effects credit. These changes will apply to productions with principal photography or key animation that begin after February 28, 2010. The changes are an increase in the production services tax credit from 25% to 33% of eligible labour. The digital animation or Visual Effects tax credit will increase from 15% to 17.5% of eligible labour. The qualified BC labour expenditures cap increased to 60% from 48% of production costs. There will also be a new BC Interactive Digital Media tax credit for video game development of 17.5% of qualifying BC labour costs, which will apply to production beginning after September 1, 2010."
This isn't any big news but I felt that it was important that we know the specific parameters of the incentives currently in place. A 60% kick-back on labor is pretty significant and darn insurmountable if a company wishes to remain in business here in Los Angeles.
In another article http://www.encoremagazine.com.au/iron-man-vfx-not-eligible-for-pdv-2535 post production folks in Australia are trying to move their 15% kick-back incentive to include productions costing as little as half a million dollars (AU) down from five million dollars (AU). Although this article states that this is not yet a reality indeed it is a reality http://www.awn.com/news/television/australia-slashes-post-digital-and-vi.... Despite this fact there are rumors that some of the larger houses down under are also feeling the pressures of the times.
As medium and large size American visual effects houses stumble and fall the state of California sits by and watches a great and green business fade into the sunset.
Is their anyone out there with a more positive, upbeat outlook? Currently, I am considering returning to school for Visual Effects after working on the production side shooting and editing promos. I have always had the desire to work with special effects, and want to pursue it. I have spoken to many people at VFX houses, and those doing advertising with VFX, and everyone says they need VFX compositors and 3D people. Yes, our world is being outsourced, we are now global, but as I understand it, the more complicated, artistic work is still being done here in CA.
VFX is not dead in CA, it is transforming. Why would more schools be opening here if there is no work, especially when they guarantee connections to the studios doing VFX. Is everyone lying?
No one has answered the question about lobbyists and tax credits, so I guess nothing is being done. Why not rally up, and try to make it happen, instead of just accepting 'fate'. Should we just crawl into a hole and die, because we are mid-career and everything has changed. It is so pessimistic. Richard, you have been in this business for many years, you must have a network, and everyone knows someone in politics. Let's starts a revolution instead of giving up or giving in.
Bob...The unfortunate truth is that there are a lot of situations currently where adapting is a moot point. It's definitely a global problem. We've just identifying our specific story here but the story is true everywhere. Just about every college, junior college and university has some sort of digital imagery oriented course that prepares the student for a life among the chips and the VFX schools have been providing what they felt was a relevant curriculum. From my experience many of the students that have come from these places are very well-trained and current. Even if you successfully enter the business you can expect to have periods of crisis where you can't get arrested. The first time it happens its excruciating and seemingly endless. Eventually the phone does ring and you're back in the saddle again. Learn to love even the times of forced unemployment, those periods may be the only time you get off for years. As far as entering the Citadel goes - the best and simple advice that can be offered is "get involved".
There is no industry left to "adapt to."
The only job in the vfx industry seems to be in teaching. Schools keep churning out ever more students (such as myself, a recent grad/aka sucker) to get into an industry that really has no career future at all. The entry level job description has all but evaporated.
Tens of thousands of dollars later, and no job in sight - that's when the feeling of being conned usually sets in, for any graduate but the most naive - but luckily for the film/3d education system, there's a sucker born every minute.
Niel...thanks for commenting. At this point the most aggressive campaign being waged for Californian artists seems to mounted by Lee Stranahan utilizing his blog on the Huffington website. I'll get more info and get back to you.
Well Geo I don't know about kids playing in the sandbox and it isn't a question of liking it or not. Simply the world has changed and what we used to see as "our" business is now global and heading more that way. The complaints here are probably standard to any group when they see their way of life suddenly disappear. I imagine that all the workers in livery stables were stunned when the model T started showing up on the roads and they found their mode of income demolished. They either adapted or moved on. I think we're in the same boat. However I don't think that the "digital officers and commanders" are set. Many are being swept up in the same sea change. A lot of established companies have failed and there will be more to follow. Many companies have gone with the flow and opened facilities in other states and countries. Business isn't necessarily patriotic.
Hey Rick,
Is this why you "wake up screaming" and checking the obits.? I haven't smoked anything in quite a long while, but in my opinion the ones that are (and will be) hardest hit are the mid to late career digital "on the ground grunts". The digital officers and commanders are pretty well "set", and the new digital recruits will adapt to an industry that is ever-changing. The neighbors' kids are arriving at the sandbox we are used to playing in, and we don't like it!
this is a very sad story for all the young talented people who are going to school right now to be digital artists in the US. By the time they graduate there will be little to no opportunity to work here nor any opportunity to travel since there are many students training to make films digitally throughout the world.
Globalization of production will kill the US film industry before too long.
Another great article Rick!!
I have a question, are there any visual effects lobbyist working on getting these types of tax credits for us here in California? Actually a bigger question is are there any visual effects lobbyist in California at all? We've all heard about the tax credits and other incentives that other states and countries have for a long time. But why is it seem to be so difficult to get the some thing here?

Hourglass Direct climbs the blank face just to the left of Birch Tree Crack. Though a far less asthetic variation starts by climbing to the alcove on Birch Tree and then moving left to the face, the direct version (starting right off the ledge) presents a more inspiring line. Start on the ledge and look for the holds. Now, look closer. They are there, but they are very small. Pull up and go. This start is V4ish and is all about how hard you can pull on non-existent crimps. This is classic vertical, technical, nightmarish 5.12 DL climbing. The holds get bigger, then smaller, and then bigger toward the top. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the route derives it's name by the "thinning" nature of the holds in the middle. Anyway, if you want to experience hard Devil's Lake crimping, here's your route.
Toprope. I would be surprised if this has been led without putting gear in Birch Tree.
We were just talking about how this route got its name... we think maybe it is because the route starts in the middle of the 2 cracks which kind of shape an hourglass feature in the rock... but who knows why people name things sometimes...
The blocks on the ledge are on for feet right? I couldn't figure a way to do it without using them.
If you couldn't do the moves without your feet on the block then you suck, Tony.
Sven says "Move left and climb the face straight to the top". I believe this indicates the blocks are off? But who the hell knows! I wouldn't get too torn up about it Tony, probably reachy. However, sometimes some chalking and scrubbing of microscopic bumps reveals how to levitate. Yes, you also suck if you can't do it. Gotta get used to sucking at Devil Lake. Fuk'n brutal.
I got tired of sucking at DL so I moved to suck elsewhere. It never gets old.
I am so torn up about this, I just pitched a belated wobbler.
This may be because I want to have sent this, but I think that the blocks are on as long as you only use the ones that are truly left of the crack, and not the ones that are actually sticking out of the alcove. Since the blocks are really just a higher part of the starting ledge, eliminating them seems kind of arbitrary, especially since you need to use foot chips only a few inches above them. Thoughts?
There are blocks all over the base of the climb. Take your pick. The point is the direct start has a couple of hideously small holds off the deck which has you immediately aware that the clock is ticking; which I think is the point of the name.

CHENNAI: Airports Authority of India (AAI) is working to ensure that the entire length of the extended portion of the secondary runway will be available for use before it is open for traffic. Though the runway is extended across the Adyar River, nearly 2,559 feet of the runway cannot be immediately used because of obstacles like tall towers and buildings in the flight approach path.
"We have asked the state government to speed up removal of obstacles on 12-end (extended portion on the Manapakkam end) of the runway so the entire extended portion of can be used, allowing bigger aircraft to use the strip" said airport director H S Suresh. This will help bigger aircraft to land on the secondary runway.

INITIATIVES - giovedì 12 dicembre 2013
Sei in: »Portale di Sant'Anna di Stazzema »LE INIZIATIVE »INITIATIVES
The Peace's Educational "Campus" was born in 1995 in Sant'Anna di Stazzema; it deepens the nonviolence and the international solidarity's themes.
It's addressed to conscientious objectors, people belonging to pacifists and solidarity's groups and associations, teachers and educators, all the people interested to these themes. In the eight past editions many guests and foreign chairmen intervened. They told their own experiences like the nonviolent interventions in Kosovo, Brazil, Palestine, Israel, African Center Republic. Moreover, many other themes like the nonviolent economy, the Gandhi's thought, the mass-media's role during the conflicts and the economic globalization's effects were treated.
The Peace's Educational "Campus" is organized with the collaboration of the "Franz Jägerstätter for the nonviolence" 's group of Pisa and the Pisa University's "Interdisciplinary Center Sciences for the Peace".
Why in Sant'Anna?
The history of Sant'Anna di Stazzema is an important testimony to preserve the painful and tragic events' memory, which is the start point to reaffirm the democracy, justice and equality's principles which are the base of our Constitutional Paper. The sacrifice of so many innocent victims has contributed to guarantee our liberty, thanks to which we can refuse every kind of violence, overcoming and authoritarianism. Sant'Anna is therefore a symbol to look for planning actions to spread an opposite culture to what, in a few hours it brought so much destruction to build different roads from those of violence crossed by the executioners.
With the institution in Sant'Anna, since 2001, of the National Park of the Peace, organized activities have always been directed to strengthen the bond between the memory of the facts and the education to the peace: thousand of boys and adults visit every year the Historical Museum of the Resistance, that entertains documentations and shows, and hundreds participate to activity of formation, conferences and meetings. One of the most meaningful moments of this way is represented by the Peace's Educational "Campus".
Silvia Nannipieri, person responsible of Jägerstätter group, says: "The places where the tragic events happened, among them the village of Sant'Anna di Stazzema, allow to establish an intense contact, which isn't hasty, with the site and its memories, moreover, they mostly reveal their own meanings; therefore, with the help of the rapporteurs and going through the injured places, we will try to meditate about the ideologies which caused these massacres; doing that, we will leave our feelings to focus on the reason why and we will try to experiment the educational possibilities of the peace."
2001's Edition
VI Peace's Educational "Campus" - August 20-30th, 2001
Making peace
Trilateral meeting among young people from Palestine, Israel, Italy and the native communities. The participants - Hebron and Jerusalem Universities' students - have been cohabiting during ten days, confronting each others about the theme of the dialogue which is the only way for the unviolent resolution of the conflict.
It was an important opportunity to facilitate the peace among people and nations in war.
This is the message but, above all, the commitment that the Tuscany Region got in Florence on August 27th of 2001, during the meeting among its President, Martini Claudio, and the participants at the "Campus". Martini shared and confirmed the mayority opinion emerging by the various interventions: the need of a direct dialogue which is the only way for a pacific cohabitation among the people. It's an absolute fact that the end of every war depends by the will of Governments and International Organisms to sign peace agreement, but the basic need is that the concord could originate from the populations, so that the harmony could take root in our culture and mentality.

The Memory and the Peace
Ideas in comparison toward a "school of peace"
The organizers, making own the spirit of the law instituting the National Park of Peace, proposed three days of comparison and research to gather and to elaborate other Schools of Peace's experiences made in places analogous to Sant'Anna. They had the purpose to deepen the data element useful to carry out a project proper for the place's institutional and formative demands. Therefore, the project is a sort of meditation to build a steady educational structure in Sant'Anna di Stazzema.

The plantation's exceptionally planned system hidden off a main hiking trail included an irrigation system fed by a stream contained by a nicely built dam, sophisticated tubing developed into a clever irrigation grid, and a battery- run pump and timer to put the final touches on a great distribution system. The crop: about 2,700 cannabis crops, better known as marijuana or maryjane, or weed or just about another fifty names.
Cops stumbled upon the plantation, located in Granada Hills, several weeks ago and began surveillance in order to capture the guy responsible. In the second week of August Natale Gabriele, 49, got the cuffs slapped on him after he tenderly tended the cash crop. He was arrested after he returned to his automobile.
Value: about $24 million worth of plants up to 10 foot high. Police estimate the stuff has been growing for the past two years.
Two questions pop into a journalist's mind: with such talent, couldn't the guy get a legal job? And are California legislators' mouths drooling over all the missed taxes that could have been collected for this economically strapped state if the cash crop had been legal?

It would likely be a fascinating, and probably disturbing, story.

30 000 litres of diesel lost at Checheche |
Friday, 13 July 2012 07:25 |
Stephen Ephraem in Checheche ABOUT 30 000 litres of diesel that were destined for the Chisumbanje Ethanol Project were lost after the tanker carrying the commodity was involved in an accident with a Nissan Saloon vehicle on Monday. The accident happened at the 190km peg along the Ngundu-Tanganda Highway at 3.30pm. The Chisumbanje Police Station's officer-in-charge, Chief Inspector Mutseta, confirmed the accident and said the driver of the tanker, Dzikamai Majenga, was in a stable condition although he was referred to Harare for further treatment. It is alleged that Steward Mtetwa (20) who was driving a white Nissan Saloon from Checheche Growth Point towards Chiredzi overtook the fuel tanker belonging to Strauss Logistic before St Peter's Turn-Off. "After overtaking the tanker, Mtetwa immediately returned to the left lane. After a short while, the driver of the tanker, Dzikamai Majenga, changed to the right lane in-order to overtake the car. That is the same time when Mtetwa indicated that he wanted to turn right. Trying to avoid a collision, Majenga returned to the left lane, but it was too late. The two vehicles side-swiped and the tanker overturned. The car was damaged on its whole rear fend, boot, rear windscreen, left rear wheel, and left rear door," said Chief Insp Mutseta. When The Manica Post arrived at the scene, Majenga had been rushed to the Chiredzi General Hospital. He sustained a fracture on the right leg and experienced some chest pains. The driver of the car was nowhere to be found. He later resurfaced around 7pm. Members of the public were busy looting the spilling diesel and police from Chisumbanje Police Station had to rush to the scene to control the swelling crowd. The recipients of the diesel, Green Fuel, had to bring in metal drums, which they used to collect the remaining diesel. An official from Green Fuel could not confirm the actual number of litres lost, but only said the tanker had a capacity of 38 000 litres and more than 30 000 litres could have been lost. |

machinas says:
Thanks, demize. I can't wait to see the results. and the somebody we me
MrDude says:
And how is Ubuntu not part of "Other Linux"?
That could just as easily be Fedora and "Other Linux" or Debian and "Other Linux" or event *shudder* Gentoo and "Other Linux".
It seems kind of arbitrary to me. Has Ubuntu mutated in some way that makes it different to develop in/from? Or is it just that it's so common?
Seems silly to me.
demize says:
Yeah, I get what you mean. But Ubuntu is (afaik) one of the most popular linux distros, so I included it as it's own OS – like OS X is Unix, but I included it as Mac OS.
MrDude says:
Ubuntu uses the same dev tools and binaries as most (If not all) other Linux distros. That's why I mentioned it.
It's not a huge deal, but please understand why I said it. It's not an "Ubuntu isn't the only Linux distro" issue, it's an "Ubuntu isn't any different from other Linux distro" issue.
Linux is the actual operating system. Linux distro's are Linux packaged with software. Ubuntu, Fedora, Slackware, and even Gentoo all run the same binaries. They're the same as far as game dev is concerned.
GreaseMonkey says:
I digress. My experience with Ubuntu is that they LOVE to break everything to do with audio. Both Ubuntu and Debian modify packages (e.g. I run Ubuntu on a stock Linux kernel and you don't get that graphical boot crap), except Ubuntu tends to break stuff (e.g. ClapSnd works with stock portaudio but it freezes with the Ubuntu Edition™; also their esound package does not work AT ALL).
MrDude says:
That might be your machine, though. My netbook doesn't like sound buffers shorter than 1024 frames, for example. The exception being LMMS, where it throws a hissy fit if the buffer isn't exactly 2048 frames long. And that has been my experience in general, not just with Fedora.
Modifying packages *would* also do that, mind you.
joekinley says:
Stop whining dude, in fact mostly it really ends up in being ubuntu or other oses when it comes to private computers
MrDude says:
The point I'm making isn't "Wah! I'm not included!", it's that Ubuntu isn't all that different from other Linux-based OSes, so it probably shouldn't be its own category. That's all I'm saying.
Jonny D says:
I would agree. I'd rather say I support Linux than say I support Ubuntu. Toss them all together, since if you develop for one, the binaries typically work across the board nowadays.
demize says:
For some reason, to me the platform is PC but the OS is Windows. I suppose Windows would be better, though. I may get around to changing it eventually.
31eee384 says:
Agreed, PC = personal computer = platform. However, right below that you list Mac OS X, and Linux.
Windows is also a platform, in my opinion–Personal Computer being a more general group including all personal computers such as Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Thanks for making this survey, though. Hope we can get some good data from it.
MrDude says:
In my opinion, PC means something that is x86-based, meaning at least mostly compatible with an Intel 32-bit CPU. I would include 64-bit x86 chips in that as well, though. (Though I think that only AMD makes 64-bit x68 chips, Intel has moved on to a new architecture for its 64-bit CPU's if I recall.)
But I tend to use that to differentiate between PC hardware and Mac hardware. Using PC to mean "Personal Computer" as opposed to "Game Console", "Smart Phone", or even "Web-Based" is also fairly useful.
But yeah, PC and Windows are not the same thing.
AtkinsSJ says:
Could have done with a 'Web' category for 'platforms you develop for'.
Otherwise, should be interesting to see the results.
Jonny D says:
The Education question seems limited… Americans use college and university interchangeably. We usually differentiate based on the degree earned, since many schools offer programs leading to two-year and four-year degrees (typically Associate's and Bachelor's). There are a lot of young game developers still in college (no degree) and many (many) with a Bachelor's degree (but college was their highest level of education). Then there are the levels beyond, which might be covered by Master's and Doctorate degrees (both from Grad School – sorta hidden within your term "University").
demize says:
Well, it was created on the spot with people on IRC telling me what to put for the question :p If I had taken more time, I'm sure I could have made it a better question, but I made the entire thing in like 20 minutes :p
joekinley says:
Totally thanks. Is there any deadline for the result?

Hi everybody, this is a really amazing read. It's cool to hear that the Sega Genesis was outselling SNES by as much as 5 to 1 and the Sega Dreamcast was the most successfully selling gaming Console of all time in North America. All I have to say is Thank you very much Sega, you've paved the way for the Future of Console Gaming!Anyway, EnJoY Sega of America in the early 1990s These days it might be Xbox 360 vs PS3, but back in the day it was Genesis vs SNES and contrary to belief. Sega Genesis was doing really well (Awesome) back in the 1990s, and so was the Game Gear and Sega CD. I got this article from factiva, it's a electronic library journal. If you go to a university you should have access to these types of resources.
great read there xp yea i grew up with the genesis vs snes era best gaming memories ever would like to see the figures for uk sales tho
The dreamcast was killed off by piracy. I remember when copyed dreamcast games where selling on carboot sales world wide. Best of all no hardware mod was needed to run copyed games
The Sega Game Gear sucked balls, I had it and hated it. Would have loved a Gameboy The Dreamcast was an amazing system that still is played today.
Still have my Genesis/Sega CD and the Dreamcast. I still hold the dreamcast as the best console ever made and I wish that Sega would stop being 3rd party and actually make a Dreamcast 2.
I still have my Master System, Genesis w/32x (Sucked), and the venerable Sega Saturn. The Saturn was one of the biggest purchasing mistakes I've made, especially since it wass $499.
I still have my Sega Saturn. I have an Action Replay (or whatever the hell it's called) so I can play Japanese games. I mostly play X-Men Vs. Street Fighter (predecessor to Marvel Vs. Capcom) and Radiant Silvergun (both are Japanese originals). I bought the Saturn long after it was considered retired in the states for only a few dollars. These days I rarely boot up the Saturn because my PC can emulate the Saturn just swell. What really killed the Saturn was that they weren't importing enough games from Japan (or so I hear). A lot of the best Dreamcast games never made it stateside either. Interestingly enough xbox live now has Ikaruga (and lots of other lost classics), my personal favorite game that was Japan-only on the Dreamcast (though later released on the GameCube in the states). I finally bought a copy of the gamecube version of Ikaruga which I play occasionally on my Wii. I've never owned a Genesis but I spent a lot of time playing it back in it's heydey. I regularly play the classic SNES and Genesis games on my PC, the way god intended them to be immortalized.
Genesis, CD, Saturn, Dreamcast...owned 'em all! Toe Jam and Earl were just too cool for Nintendo. I don't even remember what the tragic end of the Dreamcast was caused by. Sega was producing some of their finest games ever and suddenly all the 3rd party developers jumped shipped. I still got mine, gota get a play through of Skies of Arcadia, Grandia II and Shenmue in every 2-3 years. Oh and the days of ChuChu Rocket!
Dreamcast got hit hard, DVD was all the rage at the time and the DC was expensive when it launched, and I remember I bought one Day 1 for like 200 or 300 bucks on christmas and the price dropped so fast I felt like bitch slapping myself, the PS2 came out and sony spammed, it plays dvd's it does everything, microsoft did the same thing with the xbox and then GC had the cheap spot for kids even though the GC was the same price i think, nintendo just has that name that resonates, Sega was just left out to the side and it had some decent games but it seemed like a console more directed towards the japanese market than the worldwide market, piracy helped also but it would have still run out of juice either way.
I just pulled my old genesis/sega cd out of storage a few day ago, and the games are still just as fun.
Sega's mistake was they should have made a hand held Game Gear that played Sega Genesis games or something, that would have been a big winner IMO.
I really can't say that was the direct cause of dreamcast dying. I think dreamcast died IMO, because of the sega saturn. IMO, sega could of kept the dreamcast going, because of this: #1 According to Bernie Stolar, former President and CEO of Sega of America, the Dreamcast was discontinued because the new chairman of Sega wanted the company to focus on software Follow up with this: #2 at the end of 2004, dream-cast had 9 million fans -------> Estimated hardware sales by end of 2004 North America 4 million Europe 2 million Japan 3 million Worldwide total 9 million They could of kept the dream-cast alive, but looking at #1 and number #2, they made a decision to close its doors, which i think was a horrible idea. They could of created a team to just work on dream-cast games and gather some 3rd party companies to continue working on them, bringing in some profit, and still had the other side focus on software games like they are doing now. Btw, quoting 9 million , what i was getting it, thats enough to continue with the system, so #1 is really the cause of death of the dreamcast
I call BS on some of these points. The Dreamcast did not sell more then the NES in the US. There is a lot of "fluff" in that article.
Goodness Freaking Sakes, for a Sega fan I didn't know about this DAM, double DAM It's too bad it got released way too late in the game. If Sega released this instead of the Game Gear, it would have been a success IMO. But anyway, here's a link, it sold about 1 million units as of 2007... LINK:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Nomad They did sell that many units.
No, the DC was NOT killed off by piracy. It was killed off by the PS2. Once Sony announced the release date for PS2, DC sales died out and everyone pre-ordered PS2 instead because it did more than play games. Sega continued to support the Dreamcast in Japan for years after it was discontinued in N. America and Europe. New consoles and games were still being sold as late as 2006 and there were still some small, independent developers releasing games for it through unofficial channels as recently as 2010.
The Sega Nomad was good, but the problem was who wanted to carry around a bunch of Genesis carts? It's even worse with something like the Game Axe that plays NES carts. Large cartridges kinda defeat the purpose of going portable.
Yeah, I think that so-called news article is really just one big quote from the Sega president. No news agency would use the word "stellar" when referring to sales. It certainly doesn't paint an accurate picture. Most sources place the total SNES sales at about 3 to 1 over the Sega systems.
Sega is releasing the Ultimate Dreamcast collection this year. the Genesis collection was really good.
Yeah? Well it also said it was the "Dreamcast" was the most successful selling console in north America? Well I got news for ya buddy. The NES sold 61.91 million units world wide. If it wasn't for the NES we would have lost video games to the 1983 crash. That article you posted is a lot of fluff. I mean for f#@K sake they only made 10.6 million units of the Dreamcast. Nintendo won the console wars man. I'm a huge SEGA fan but lets be realistic here.

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Press Releases
U.S. Department of Labor |
BATON ROUGE, La. -- Baton Rouge Community College has agreed to pay a former employee $34,526 in back wages and benefits after an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division found that the college violated the Family and Medical Leave Act when it considered the employee's absence to care for a family member, as well as a request for leave for a personal serious health condition, as negative employment factors and consequently terminated the employee.
"The FMLA allows for workplace flexibility by giving an eligible employee the right to take a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid, job-protected leave during any 12-month period to address a serious health condition that makes him or her unable to perform the essential functions of the job," said Cynthia Watson, the division's regional administrator for the Southwest. "Leave may be taken all at one time or on an intermittent basis, as the condition requires."
The investigation, which was conducted by the division's New Orleans District Office, found that the college terminated the employee a day before the employee was scheduled to meet with a physician to obtain the FMLA health condition certification that the college had requested. As a result of the termination, the employee lost wages and retirement benefits payments, and incurred significantly higher health insurance and other health care costs.
Baton Rouge Community College has agreed to comply with the requirements of the FMLA in the future and to restore to the employee the wages and benefits that would have been earned if the termination had not occurred. Payment of back wages and benefits is ongoing.
The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in a 12-month period for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave.
Under the FMLA, an employer is prohibited from interfering with, restraining or denying the exercise of (or the attempt to exercise) any FMLA right. Employers also are prohibited from discriminating or retaliating against an employee or prospective employee for having exercised or attempted to exercise any FMLA right. Specifically, an employer may not use an employee's request for or use of FMLA leave as a negative factor in employment actions such as hiring, promotions or disciplinary procedures.
For more information about worker protections under the FMLA and other federal labor laws that are enforced by the division, call its toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or its New Orleans office at 504-589-6171. Information also is available at http://www.dol.gov/whd/fmla.
U.S. Department of Labor releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office upon request. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7828 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The Labor Department is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

We apparently talk to/ read different scouts. Swing and miss percentages also seem to show a major difference here; that helps determine stuff, as it's not always about how hard someone can throw, but with what movement/ deception they throw it.

Being a lefty means your natural stuff plays up. A lefty with a 92 mph fastball is tougher to hit than a RH with a 92 mph fastball because the arm angle and pitch rotation is less common. It's a fairly big deal, IMO.

Gone, but Not ForgottenPosted on Aug 27, 2007
Alberto Gonzales is stepping down, but he and the White House may still have to face the music. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid showed no sign of backing down following the resignation announcement: "Congress must get to the bottom of this mess and follow the facts where they lead, into the White House."

By Marion, August 28, 2007 at 8:33 am Link to this comment The country knew very little about G.W. Bush till Mr. Baker stepped forward and sold us the intellectually and morally challenged pretender. Both Baker and older Bush were very well aware of the puny abilities of the uncurious George.
By Homer Hewitt, August 28, 2007 at 5:24 am Link to this comment The office of the Attorney General issued a brief statement saying only that Mr. Gonzales wishes to return to Texas and spend more time with Karl Rove.

Composer/contemporary pianist Richard Carr, native of St. Louis, Missouri, has returned to St. Louis after the ravaging of the hurricane Katrina of his home in New Orleans.
Carr's approach to creating is one of tapping into the free-flowing consciousness of music, Richard is freely improvising on the spot. There are no sequencing or tracking techniques used during the recording. Everything is recorded in real time without any edits. In this regard, Richard's music has been favorably compared to Keith Jarrett, George Winston and David Lanz. His concerts are highlighted by his apparent ease at the piano or keyboard and his passionate playing. Most of his audiences are also treated with a new composition or improvisation created on the spot. Carr's improvisational composition style is full of melodic lines and rich harmonies indicative of the classical influences of the American, Russian and French composers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Additionally, more modern influences as diverse as Mannheim Steamroller, Tangerine Dream, John Adams, Keith Jarrett, Cole Porter, Thomas "Fats" Waller, Steve Reich, George Winston, and George Gershwin are also evident. ABOUT THROUGH THE MIND'S EYE: This album is Richard's first CD. Recorded in the summer of 1997, it came from the recording sessions that were intended to be for a demo tape for Richard to get more jobs as a pianist in New Orleans. These improvisations were done at the end of the sessions to wind down from trying to get perfect recordings of some cover tunes. When the New Age Voice Radio Top 50 changed to the Top 100, Through the Mind's Eye immediately charted at #97 after several months of promoting. To date, it is still heard on new age radio shows, cable and digital radio systems with some regularity. There are very few copies left of Through the Mind's Eye for sale. It has been remastered and is will be available very soon for digital downloading. There are no current plans to reprint the CD. Check out the artist's website: http://www.RichardCarr.com Track List: 1. Northern California Walking Music 2. Through the Mind's Eye 3. Incidental Music (from a movie in New Orleans) 4.

Mathematics is essentially the general study of number and pattern. As a separate and self-contained discipline it has a rich history, worthy purpose, and noble esthetic. Linked to the sciences and related disciplines, it unlocks their potential to improve the human condition by providing a universal language to express conjecture, fact, and ultimately understanding. A mathematical education is unique in its focus on rigorous logic, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skill, all habits of mind which are prized in the practical world.
The B.A. in Mathematics program provides opportunities for students to develop general analytical and problem solving skills and gain specific knowledge. The world is rapidly becoming more quantitative, and mathematicians and statisticians are in increasing demand in a wide range of fields, including business, agriculture, computer science, communications, engineering, environmental studies, government, and the natural and social sciences. Students study up-to-date discoveries in mathematics that are being used in modern theory and applications, making use of the latest technological tools for investigating mathematical and statistical concepts and problems. Students practice solving real-world problems.

The populist-themed and increasingly popular "Occupy Wall Street" movement , as dozens of protesters gathered before the entrance to Bushnell Park in Hartford to express their dissatisfaction with what they termed income inequality and corporate greed.
What started as a small gathering of a handful of protesters shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday had swelled to a large and vocal group that numbered close to 100 less than one hour later — and the movement showed no signs of losing steam as the morning wore on and more and more people seemed to be drawn to the crowd.
Many in the group expressed the sentiments echoed at "Occupy Wall Street" rallies across the country, summed up in the words of David Morse of Storrs, who carried a sign which read, "Tax the Rich."
Since then, the movement's spread across many states across the country, and Patch asked local residents to chime in and add their thoughts to what's going on.
"I'm warily optimistic of this movement," said . "It's nice people are standing for change, however, unless any power, money, or influence falls directly behind it, I doubt its longevity."
Chad Messenger, himself a Redding resident and , said he doubts the movement's authenticity.
"I understand the dissent between those without jobs and those making lots of money on the top," Messenger said. "But the whole group seems disjointed to me. They argue against the rich, then they argue that their student loans should be forgiven. Who lent them money [for education] in the first place?"
Rowley wondered what would come next if the movement's demands are met.
"I would love to see justice served where it's due and to see a true paradigm shift occur in our time," he said. "Hopefully, the best people to assist in this choose the right side."
Messenger said he wished the protesters were constructive and offered solutions, rather than seemingly protesting against capitalism.
"There's power in protesting, certainly, but like I said, this group doesn't even seem to have a cohesive point," Messenger said. "Rather than banging on drums and yelling against corportations — sure CEOs make a lot of money, but look at how many jobs they create — maybe these people would be better off looking for work. At the very least, they could offer some solutions, rather than complaining about problems."

A $700 Hair Dryer Aims to Blow Away the Competition
Jonathan Antin Gets a Hot New Deal With Conair
"I finally connected with a great line of styling tools," Jonathan told WWD. "[Now], when I'm doing hair I'm not just using my hair care line and someone else's tools," he added. Jonathan also has a few other projects in the works, including a new salon, the debut of his new hair care line in September, and the development of two TV programs.
As for Conair, though, there's talk he could eventually launch his own line of products within the brand. I've always found Jonathan to be highly entertaining, and with his feisty manner and entrepreneurial spirit, his collaboration with Conair seems perfectly fitting. What say you about this deal?

These Vintage Hair Dryers Will Blow You Away
The blow-dryer: it's probably something you use several times a week, but have you ever stopped to give much thought about its origins? Invented toward the end of the 19th century in France, the first hair dryer was comprised of a bonnet that was affixed to a gas stove's chimney pipe. It wasn't until the 1920s that handheld dryers were invented and sold to the masses. From cases with hoses to dryers with futuristic-sounding monikers, take a look back into history, and check out a few vintage dryers now.

How Does an Ionic Hair Dryer Work?
While my mom's hair dryer was a standard style, I've had an ionic model for as long as I can remember doing my own hair . . . but is there any real advantage to that buzz word?
My latest science research found that ionic dryers bond water droplets on the hair shaft with negatively charged ions. It works because, well, opposites attract. Water molecules are positively charged and are attracted to the negative ions from this dryer. This breaks them down into tinier particles that dry quicker and helps seal the strands' cuticles to retain moisture in the process.
