State of the Independent EV: Buddy Can You Spare a Ni-MH
Recently I "overheard" someone say that if a small company like Tesla could make it, what the hell is wrong with GM and Ford?
Oh boy. We should probably all be very grateful that is not the case.
The contemporary electric car is such a lovely romantic idea and I am not one to knock the dreamers but at the rate that the independent electric car makers are going we better keep our bicycles tuned up for quite a while.
Tesla has been a PR machine. Until recently. Delayed production has led to rumors and snafus abound. Imagine being the buyer of a Tesla Roadster. You have made a $50,000 deposit two years ago and you haven't received your car. You hear through the grapevine that employees found out about a layoff through a blog written by the CEO to the general public. Not you, the early adopter. And then, just to make your day, you get a letter from Tesla telling you that when your car is eventually delivered you will have to pay more than you originally had agreed to paying. Even the proprietary charger that was included in the base price is now going to cost you extra. Its like buying a battery operated toy and getting home only to find out that batteries were not included even though the salesman told you they were. AND you are paying more than the $100K you signed for. {"Honey? Don't buy the organic wine for a couple of months!"]
If that is the case then you have arrived as most of the country cannot fathom (but fantasizes) about being so "lucky".
Aptera (yeh, I will be cliche here and say "that Jetson looking EV") is having its own bumps. Recently they were all ready to go into production having built a 70,000+ sq. ft. facility a third of the way between LA and San Diego and no man's land and hire on a full team for their Robin Reliant by Dr. Who vision of the EV. Candidates were aplenty but, you know, sorry, the project is on hold for a *few* months now. They are looking for additional funding now and won't be hiring in the near future.
What about ZAP (which is such an adorbs car that I almost forgive them) and years of false promises and bad press?
The independent gas to electric conversion companies are still around, struggling, asking for capital (remember when we used to call it money?) but are still at least a year from fully operational and that is with conditions and a $20K plus price tag to convert your car of choice.
Fact is, this is not Tucker the Movie. It isn't even Lee Iacoccoa's world. For years- and I mean YEARS- the venture capital world has funded and lost its love of the EV. Many a CEO has probably told their families that the dot com they walked away from which gave them a nice life would be so much better if they gambled their equity (SLASH fortune) into something green, something progressive, something that will mean something to the kids. Oh, the justification of the green. Dollars, I mean.
So now the EV independents are jumping on the bail-out bandwagon. They're asking the government to help them when for the last several years their venture capital seeking expeditions has forced them to suffer in Aspen, San Francisco, London, Paris, Miami and other low rent districts. It has been so hard for them.
So what about GM and the myths about these PR machines? GM is a PR machine too and talks a lot of talk and has yet to prove anything EV but they are working (and I mean hard) to meet this. But why? Because of demand. Irony is that everyone loves the idea that their dollars count and for years and years Normal Joe's have "voted" for high consumption guzzlers while their [INSERT FRIEND/RELATIVE HERE] was getting paid (and paid WELL with health care) for making the cars that they demanded.
Not that anyone really cares. It is fun to place blame. And, oh, that Joe? He is mad now. And his kids don't have healthcare because he didn't want to be that guy on the line.
… but everyone has an opinion despite the fact that if everyone complaining actually owned their past demands then they would realize the the fault does not lie in the car companies and that despite of the fact that you can't wander without tripping over yet another EV company, the alt.fuel deficit all belongs to every one of us.
And yeh. I am back.

Pineapple Playhouse gives wonderful rendition of 'Lost in Yonkers'
What: "Lost in Yonkers"
Where: Pineapple Playhouse, 700 W. Weatherbee Road, Fort Pierce
When: through Sept. 23; 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday
Tickets: $17
Contact: 772-465-0366; www.pineappleplayhouse.com
Everyone's afraid of Grandma — and it's easy to see why — in the newest production hitting the stage at the Pineapple Playhouse in Fort Pierce.
Last week, the community theater debuted its 40th season with Neil Simon's award-winning play, "Lost in Yonkers."
Set in 1942 during World War II, the coming-of-age tale explores the theme of survival when a dysfunctional family in the Jewish New York borough of Yonkers faces big changes and challenges. The play centers around two young brothers, Jay (Brandan Wenger) and Arty (Aidan McDonnell), who are left to live with their mean-spirited Grandma Kurnitz (Leslie Parker-Earll), as their father Eddie (Rob Lastovica) travels the South selling scrap iron trying to earn enough cash to pay off loan sharks who helped pay for his late wife's cancer treatments.
The boys are somewhat comforted by their sweet-spirited, yet weak-minded Aunt Bella (Katie Horn) during their stay. Their grandmother's old-fashioned apartment is beautifully produced and intimately staged, and the cast moves smartly around the space.
Also there to give the boys the ins-and-outs of their new life in Yonkers is their crooked Uncle Louie (James Davis), who ends up teaching the boys how important family truly is and the truth about their cold-hearted grandma.
The play's 10-month span is smoothly condensed to two hours for Treasure Coast theater-goers. Family secrets and lies unfold with genuine emotion and realistic characters, and the play moves quickly from a first act that's filled with laughter, into an exciting second act with plenty of yelling, cane-wielding and drink-splashing action — with a somewhat surprise ending.
Despite the dark and bittersweet script, the cast of newcomers and veterans present a wonderful rendition of the play that's still full of laughs, as well as sentimental moments.
No detail goes unnoticed, from the New York and German accents to the mannerisms and clothing of the '40s. It's a great start to a promising season.

Ray McNulty: UCF's Dankenbring keeping sports in perspective
Lyle Dankenbring's first words to me when I called him this week at the University of Central Florida?
"I've been reading your column for years."
Flattering, yes, especially since we had never met and this was our first-ever conversation.
But that's not why the former Martin County High School sports standout is one of my favorite college football players.
I like him because he's not merely a football player going to college. He's a college student who plays football.
He's what college athletics is supposed to be all about.
Academics first.
Athletics is extracurricular.
In fact, Dankenbring, a fifth-year senior defensive back at UCF, has no delusions of playing professionally. His career goal is to become a teacher, either at the college or high school level, and maybe do some coaching.
"I love playing football," he said, "but I have a passion for teaching."
He appears to have the necessary qualifications, too.
Dankenbring already has earned a bachelor's degree in political science — he graduated in the spring of 2011 — and has since put together four consecutive semesters with a 4.0 grade-point average while working toward's a master's degree in social science education.
Last spring, he was named the 2012 UCF Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Last month, he was named a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation's William V. Campbell Trophy, a pretisigious award that some call the "Academic Heisman."
A list of 16 finalists will be announced Thursday. Each of them will receive an $18,000 post-graduate scholarship and be invited to attend the NFF's annual awards dinner Dec. 4 at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, where the Campbell Trophy will be presented to the winner. Candidates must be a senior or graduate student in his final year of athletic eligibility, carry a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, be either a starter or significant contributor on the field and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship.
So UCF coach George O'Leary thinks it's only fitting that Dankenbring be honored for his efforts.
"What Lyle Dankenbring brings to the football team can't be measured, as far as his advice to younger kids and to his teammates as it relates to his responsibilities to his position," O'Leary said. "I can't say enough good things about him — not just on the field but off the field, too. He's an A student in grad school and he's been nothing but a pleasure to have in this program."
Once he got there.
Dankenbring, who was a first-team selection for the Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers All-Area Football Team as a running back and the All-Area Player of the Year in boys soccer in high school, initially accepted an appointment to the Air Force Academy. After four weeks of basic training for freshman in July 2008, however, he withdrew before classes began and enrolled at UCF.
"I left with three days remaining," Dankenbring said. "The military lifestyle just wasn't for me. I got caught up in the idea of playing Division I football and a lot of people wanted me to go to the academy, and I let it cloud my vision. I didn't do enough research before I made my decision and, when I got out there, I just wasn't happy."
So he returned to his family's Palm City home and immediately called the coaches at UCF, which welcomed him as a "preferred walk-on." He was red-shirted as a freshman and played two seasons, mostly on special teams, before being rewarded with a scholarship last year, when he also was used as a nickel back in opponents' passing situations.
This season, he still plays primarily as a nickel back and on special teams but also has started a couple of games at safety for the Knights, who are 4-2 overall and sit atop Conference USA's East division at 2-0.
"I've even played some linebacker," said the 5-foot-10, 202-pound defender who has made 52 tackles (38 solo) and two interceptions in his UCF career.
Dankenbring has eight tackles (seven solo), one sack and one interception this season, which will be his last as a player.
"I've actually thought about that — about this being the last season I'll put on the pads — and I've got mixed emotions about it," he said. "I can feel it coming to an end and, after doing it for so many years, it'll be hard to walk away. But, at the same time, I'm only 22 years old and I'm excited about moving on to the next phase of my life.
"So I'm going to enjoy this final season as much as I can, then I'll look forward to tackling the next set of challenges."
Certainly, he'll be well-prepared, especially when it comes to setting priorities, time management and work ethic.
As he put it: "Playing Division I football is a full-time job."
The same can be said of being a full-time college student, particularly one who is so devoted to his studies that he earned a bachelor's degree in three years, will complete the requirements for a master's degree in two and has been recognized nationally for his performance as a scholar-athlete.
"You really do have to manage your time, but I've been doing that my whole life — playing soccer, playing football, going to school — so it's nothing new," Dankenbring said. "And, yeah, you do have to sacrifice your social life to some extent. There are only so many hours in a day and, most days, it's a balancing act. But I'm not complaining."
It was then that he said something telling, something mature beyond his years, something I found more impressive than all of his academic and athletic accomplishments.
"It's nice to get recognition for all the time and hard work I've put in, but a lot of the credit has to go to my parents and all the teachers I've had through the years," Dankenbring said. "They did a great job of preparing me to do all this."They should take a bow.
They've raised a wonderful young man who is more than a major-college football player, more than an award-winning student, more than a source of immense pride for his family, his school and our community.
They've helped produce a future teacher and coach who possesses the knowledge, wisdom and young-life experiences necessary to inspire and educate generations of students and athletes.
So, yes, I'm flattered that Dankenbring has read my column for years. But that's not why he's one of my favorite college football players.
I like him because he's everything college athletics is supposed to be about.
He's everything a William V. Campbell Trophy winner should be.

Whitespace whining
Ian Bicking's wrote a list of python wishes. There's stuff I agree with, some with which I don't and stuff I simply don't understand. But what caught my eye was:
Things I wouldn't do:
Put up with any significant-whitespace whining. Here 99% of the Python community is with me. I think there is a meme that Python people are close-minded to suggestions for changes in the language. I think there is significant truth to that. But sometimes everyone else is just completely wrong. I want nothing to do with any programmer who would mis-indent their code. If you want to mis-indent your code you are an idiot. If you want idiotic code to be an option you are being absurd.
Precisely. Yesterday was our regular web talk evening, which is often followed by a lively debate. As usual we covered all sorts of topics, one of which was Python. To paraphrase a part of it:
A: I don't like Python because of significant whitespace.
B: Do you indent your code?
A: Yes, of course.
B: And the problem is?
I can't understand how this complaint doesn't die. I can understand that some other language can tickle their fancy. People have different tastes and if some people like it rough, who am I to judge. But why in the world would you wish for a feature you'd never be stupid enough to use?
Comments (16)
Hey – that's the shortest, most succinct and coolest way I have ever seen it written – 4 short lines of text spell out Python Whitespace clearly
I wish all languages would have Python's whitespace policy
I explain to my naysaying peers that whitespace is a defining feature of Python, just like dynamic typing (which generates it's own series of whines in my group).
I then suggest that if you do not like it, use a language that fullfills you needs, rather than griping about one that does not.
After all, what it the point of duplicating features already found in other languages? Not everything can be (C,Java,VB).
I like Python whitespacing, but one legitimate gripe with it involves hard-to-find cut-and-paste bugs. More than once, I have cut-and-paste Python code that I've found on a web page, only to have it not run because the indenting got screwed up in an inconsistent and subtle way that's hard to immediately identify.
But it's a niggling point, and it's not what people usually mean when they give the knee-jerk "I don't like significant whitespace" response.
Matt: it is indeed a niggling point. There are many reasons why code cut-and-pasted from a website might not run accurately. If failure due to incorrect indentation causes the lifter to stop and think about the code it's not entirely a bad thing.
Far too much copy-and-paste "programming with a trowel" is already taking place. If people aren't prepared to at least *think* about the code they are "borrowing", they shouldn't be "borrowing" in the first place.
I've had problems caused by people editing files in editors that did things like use the tab character – it looks like the indentation is correct but in fact it is not. When these happen, it is very difficult to recover the correct control flow because of python's reliance on whitespace. Whilst it is not a big enough issue to stop me using python, I do regard it as a language design flaw, and it does cause me real world problems.
[...] you indent your code?A: Yes, of course.B: And the problem is? from Marko Samastur's post This entry was posted on ???, ?? 17th, 2006 at 9:03 pm and is f [...]
:"I've had problems caused by people editing files in editors that did things like use the tab character – it looks like the indentation is correct but in fact it is not."
That is an editor flaw, not a language flaw. You need an editor that you can configure to handle tabs properly for the task at hand. The right tool for the right job.
(a) tabs are evil
(b) indentation errors are usually pretty easy to find, but sometimes rather hard to fix if you've lost the original indentation; on the whole significant whitespace leads to much easier to understand syntax errors, that are more localized to the actual problem area of code
(c) there is a small class of errors that is admittedly really annoying — typically when you have an if statement, and the last line of the block is either mis-included or mis-excluded from the block; the only way to figure it out is through careful inspection of the logic. This can happen in any language, but is more common in Python (a similar class of errors is in Cish languages when people don't use {} for the body of an if or other block — which is also probably the quintessential case when programmers make indentation that lies).
I like tabs
In any case, there's a plethora of editors that make indenting, de-indenting and tab-space transformations a breeze and if anyone still has a problem with this, he should really switch to something better than notepad.
I guess those (c) errors can be annoying, but I think you get a similar problem in other languages when you copy one } too much or too few. Admitedly not quite the same, because Python's case is more subtle, since it's likely not a syntax error. I don't copy blocks often or fast enough to be bothered though.
I wasn't sure about significant whitespace when I started using Python.
Now I love it, because it makes removes unnessary garbage such as:
But, it can be a disadvantage if you're doing serious metaprogramming, by making creating error free Python code considerably harder. That's one big reason, for example, why Lua uses begin/end.
But Python isn't about heavy metaprogramming. OTOH, Lua uses much more metaprogramming, and it's also a much bigger part of its culture.
In summary, significant white space is great in Python, but not in all programming languages.
For what it's worth, here's a testimony: when I first got interested in Python – at first, reading about it – I liked it very much, but I saw significant whitespace as its major drawback and a pain in the neck. It was, like, "what a ridiculous, absurd feature in an otherwise great language". Then I started coding in it, and there wasn't even an adaptation period – I didn't as much as _notice_ that I was using the feature, once I concentrated on problems. Whitespace is simply NO problem, and code readability is a major gain. Just as Ian says, let's not accept any whining in this area.
Far more irritating to me, than whitespace errors when copying code, is non-standard characters appearing in code snippets in emails and web pages, usually because they are written in a word procesor that silently 'helps-out' by changing one tick to a back-tick so destroying what should be a pair of string delimeters (or doing a similar thing with doule-quotes).
Pythons whitespace indentation will be brilliant when you are no-longer allowed to use tabs and is pretty damn good as it stands.
I've been coding in python for a decade now and I always use tabs in my own projects. I have never once had a tab/space issue. This leads me to following belief: if you have problems with tabs you are an idiot.
"Things I wouldn't do: Put up with any significant-whitespace whining. Here 99% of the Python community is with me. Precisely."
All he said, and you agreed with, was that 99% of the people who like Python's white space, and hence use it, agree with it. I fail to see the significance.
What about the majority of programmers who won't give Python a try because of the white space issue? You can claim that popularity is not the goal but, oh, how the Python community moans when Ruby on Rails is mentioned.
It's not like Python currently offers one correct solution to delimiting scope. It currently offers three: spaces, tabs or spaces and tabs mixed together. You might like one of these but I bet you'll agree the other two stink. So… how about adding one more stinky optional method for delimiting scope: braces. Is that too much to ask for if it could help Python reach Ruby's level of popularity and acceptance in the ($$$) workplace??
FWIW, I like tabs.
Actually, I like tabs, but don't mind either. I use tabs, but I also worked with spaces-only and mixed indented code and honestly can't remember when was the last time I had a problem related to this. My view is that this simply isn't an issue.
I also don't mind RoR. I do mind marketing-driven features though. What I'd like for Python is to avoid adding features that don't significantly improve a language for its current users and I fail to see how braces would do this.
I might look at this differentely if Python acceptance was a problem for me, but luckily it isn't.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

'Profiles' exhibit features work by Colin Fraser Gray
About face
Artist Colin Fraser Gray expresses another side of his multifaceted talent in "Profiles," an exhibition at Vita Art Center in the Bell Arts Factory in Ventura from today through April 29. An opening reception will be held from 6-9 p.m. today.
Although the profiles are one-sided portraits, they feature an unspoken dimension of the subjects, many of whom are homeless and would otherwise remain faceless and voiceless to casual observers. Fraser Gray has taught drawing classes to homeless people for nine years at Casa Esperanza in Santa Barbara. During this time, he became interested in capturing the faces of the homeless through portraiture. One of his students from Casa Esperanza, Larry Hulse, will exhibit his work at this show as well.
Working primarily in sculpture and drawing, Fraser Gray also has completed three permanent public art projects, and his work has been exhibited in solo shows across the country. He taught sculpture at the College of Creative Studies at UC Santa Barbara for nine years and teaches drawing classes at various places. For more views of his work, visit colinfrasergray.com.
The Bell Arts Factory houses three galleries and 30 artist studios. Exhibitions take place throughout the complex, such as Catlin Blair Harvey's "Branching Inward" sculpture show in the Tool Room Gallery through April 21. Her opening reception also will be held today from 6-9 p.m. See more of her sculptures and handcrafted jewelry at catlinblair.com.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and by appointment on weekends at 432 Ventura Ave., Studio 30. For more information, call 644-9214 or visit vitaartcenter.com.

Faith assures victory over world, Pope tells congregation
Catholic World News - January 10, 2014
At a morning Mass at the Vatican on January 10, Pope Francis observed that faith can overcome all obstacles, and yet "the Church is full of defeated Christians who do not believe in this."
Commenting on the first letter of St. John, the Pope said that faith in God ensures victory over the world. But those who do not live their faith cannot enjoy that victory, he said.
True faith requires steady and active belief, the Pope said. "Confess the faith! All of it, not part of it!" he exhorted his congregation at the Casa Sanctae Marthae. Faith also calls for trust in God, he added. "There are many Christians with a hope too watered down, not strong: a faint hope." But with faith and hope, Christians have assurance of victory.

Cross-Media Opportunities for Marketers: Nearly Two-Thirds of Mobile Phone Video Usage Happens at Home
IAB and its Mobile Marketing Center of Excellence released "The IAB Mobile Phone Video Diaries," research showing that 92 percent of consumers share mobile video clips with others, frequently taking digital video advertising viral, and 63 percent of digital video screening on mobile phones does not happen on-the-go, but rather at home. Over a third (36 percent) of these home-based digital video activities happen in a room where a second screen—a TV, desktop computer, or tablet—is also available for viewing purposes. These findings combine to point to significant cross-media opportunities for brand marketers, whether tying mobile digital video to live television programming or linking magazine ads to relevant mobile clips.

If you recall, many �ultra mobile� devices that were pushed a few years back came stock with touch screens, whether for hands or for a stylus. Those devices didn't fare so well � largely due to their higher cost relative to real laptops. If Asustek can keep the price reasonable on the Eee while incorporating this, they could make a touch panel netbook a common thing � something that might even threaten eBook readers, since their touch interfaces are a big selling point.
How will Asustek keep the price down on a touch panel Eee? Maybe they won't, as newer Eee models have been going up in price, rather than down. However, they have loosely mentioned a plan to return to the low-cost market, near the $300 range, next year. I doubt touch panels would be included among them, but we can always hope.

California Trout's landmark report on the state of California's trout, salmon & steelhead populations paints a troubling picture of the state's native salmonids.
SOS: California's Native Fish Crisis was written and researched by Dr. Peter Moyle, UC Davis professor and renowned expert on California's water systems and the fish that inhabit them.
The report's findings indicate the state's native salmonids are in unprecedented decline and with many teetering towards the brink of extinction – an alarm bell that signals the deteriorating health of the state's rivers and streams (that also provide drinking water to millions of Californians).
All indications show that California's native fish are in crisis:
- If present trends continue, 65% of native salmon, steelhead, and trout species will be extinct this century
- 65% of the species headed towards extinction are found only in California
- Of the state's 22 anadromous fish species (which spawn in freshwater and live most of their adult lives in the ocean), 59% are in danger of extinction
- Of the state's 9 living native inland fish, 78% are in danger of extinction

Typhoid fever is a disease caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. It causes fever, headache, loss of appetite and stomach pain and can lead to serious complications like kidney failure or a perforation of the bowel if untreated.
Typhoid fever is reportable to the Iowa Department of Public Health by Iowa Administrative Code 641 IAC 1.
Symptoms can appear anywhere between 3 to 60 days after being infected with S. typhi. At first, symptoms may begin with mild illness and a low fever, but some people do get severe illness right away. Symptoms of typhoid fever include:
If not treated rapidly, these complications can develop:
Typhoid fever is caused by eating or drinking food or water contaminated with S. typhi. Some ways to catch typhoid fever include eating shellfish from sewage contaminated beds, vegetables fertilized by human feces, and contaminated raw fruit or milk products. Flies may contaminate foods also.
Typhoid fever occurs worldwide to millions of people so travel to places where typhoid fever is occurring is the biggest risk. Living, eating and drinking in places where sanitation is poor increases risk. If people who are infected prepare food or drink for others, the risk of infecting others is increased, even if they are not ill.
Proper sanitation of public and private facilities is important to prevent typhoid fever. Routine sanitation includes:
Certain antibiotics are used to treat typhoid fever. Sometimes steroid medications are used for those who are seriously ill.
Three cases of typhoid fever were reported in 2013.
For more detailed information and statistics on all notifiable diseases, please see our current annual report.

Colossal seated statue of a man from the Mausoleum at Halikarnassos
Greek, around 350 BC
Found in Bodrum, modern Turkey
Probably King Maussollos of Karia
This impressive statue was carved from one block of Pentelic marble. The remains of the original block is preserved from the left shoulder to the right shin of the statue. When found, the drapery was covered with a purple patina, which may have been the remnants of the original colour. Purple has long been associated with royalty, and this figure, the largest of the surviving human sculptures from the Mausoleum, may be Maussollos himself, enthroned and aristocratic.
The bones of animals were found buried in the substructure of the tomb chamber. These may be the remains of a ritual meal or of sacrificial offerings. It has been suggested that this statue was the focal point of a procession of worshippers bringing sacrificial offerings to the king. Fragments of colossal figures of rams and a bull survive, perhaps some of the victims offered in Maussollos' memory as part of his funerary rites or hero-cult. A ritual such as this would raise the king to the ranks of a semi-divine being. The representation of sacrifice would have been be one of the many features of the monument emphasising the non-Greek origin of the dynast.

Diablo III Review: Slaying with Style
by Wes Mayer
Diablo has officially made its transition from PC to consoles, and it has done so flawlessly.
For those who may have never had a chance to play a Diablo game before because they did not have a great gaming PC (like me), now is your chance. Blizzard Entertainment's Diablo III is a ton of fun, it is a beautiful, massive game and it will keep you entertained for hours.
Diablo III is centered around combat, and the game does not take long to hurl you into it. After choosing your hero, a Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor or Wizard (I chose the Monk), you are off to investigate a mysterious star which fell from the sky and crashed into a cathedral in the town of Tristram (where the first Diablo game took place). You arrive to discover undead have risen from the ground and are swarming around the town.
A few hundred vanquished enemies later, you learn the war between Heaven and Hell is going poorly for the good guys, and the demon lords Belial (Lord of Lies) and Azmodan (Lord of Sin) are attempting to invade the mortal world of Sanctuary and bring hell to Earth. So naturally, it's up to you, as Mr. or Ms. Hero, to smite them back to oblivion and save humanity.
Diablo III is all about killing hordes of enemies first and asking questions later. The story isn't too deep or complicated, but that is in no way a bad thing. Diablo III is all about the mass destruction of demons, undead, monsters, beasts and anything else foolish enough to stand in your way.
Even more so, it is about looting the weapons, armor and gold that drop from your enemies' bloodied remains, and finding the ultimate equipment. Equipment come in four different levels — normal, magic, rare and legendary. Legendary and rare equipment is the best, obviously, and finding high-leveled weapons and armor which give multiple boosts your character is your true never-ending quest in the game.
Being able to crush your enemies with stylish destruction is where Diablo III shines. Each hero has a number skills at your disposal to annihilate anything in your path, and the visuals from blasting your foes into bloody pieces are just, for lack of a better word, pretty. Skills explode with vibrant colors and your enemies burst into bloodied reds, greens and blues as they die, balancing against the bleak dungeons, dark ruins or vast empty wastes you explore.
Gameplay is smooth despite the chaos. The camera is fixed at an angled bird's eye view above your hero. While you can argue this removes you from the action, it adds to your ability to see your enemies and swirling destruction around you. Plus the view maintains the game's PC feel as you explore environments, slay enemies and level up your hero.
Leveling up gives the game its role-playing element. When your character levels up, you unlock new skills. You are only allowed to have one of each type of skill equipped at a time, but that is quite enough. For the Monk, these skills included a primary attack, a secondary attack, a defensive skill, a technique, type of focus and a mantra (a constant active skill). On top of this, you can have three passive skills going at a time, giving you even more choices to how you want to buff your character.
The skills are not locked into place once you choose them, though. Unlike other role-playing games where you build your character and are stuck with what you choose (sometimes you can pay to get unstuck), Diablo III allows you to swap skills at any time. So if one skill is just useless against a boss who keeps rolling over you, you are able to change at any time.
Every character is slightly different, but the Monk activates skills by using spirit, and kills enemies with his primary attack to generate spirit back. The Barbarian, for instance, works backwards. He must kill enemies with primary attacks to generate his Fury, which he can then use to unleash devastating skills.
You tend to fight enemies in large groups. Picking the right skills to protect yourself or kill everything around you before being overwhelmed is vital. For me, I chose a skill which pulled nearby enemies in close and exploded, great for crowd control. Any survivors I would finish off with a damaging whirlwind around my hero's body or with my furious fists. If that didn't work, I could unleash a blinding flash which confused and blinded enemies making them miss me and attack each other. If the enemy was particularly large, I could summon a giant spirit bell to come crashing down on them and cause massive amounts of damage.
And that was only a fraction of my options. It is all about exploring which combinations work best for you.
You also have a choice of three different followers you find throughout the story, the Templar, the Scoundrel or the Enchantress. You can only have one follower at a time, and while they aren't particularly strong, they can help you out with their own skills and it is nice to have company when you're wandering through a haunted crypt or a fiery cavern.
If you would like even more company, Diablo III supports online play. You can play with other players online at any time, but the more players, the tougher the enemies and the better the loot (but you have to fight over it).
When Diablo III's story does step in, it does so gorgeously. In between the four acts of the game, Blizzard has created some amazing cut scenes. The actual gameplay visuals don't compare, but they are still fantastic to look at nonetheless. The voice acting and music fits in well, and there weren't any voice actors that tuned me out of the experience. Some characters, like the Scoundrel, are actually quite entertaining.
The story is fairly shallow, though. You always have one general direction to follow, and your path does not branch out very often - Diablo III does not overwhelm you with optional side quests. But that is actually great for the game because Diablo III gets better as you replay it.
After you beat the game on Normal difficulty, you unlock Nightmare difficulty and instantly start the game over. Beating it on Nightmare unlocks Hell, and beating it on Hell unlocks Inferno, which is apparently borderline impossible. It took me around 30 to 35 hours to beat the game on Normal, so you can get an idea of how many hours you can put into this game, especially if you play through with multiple characters.
In each higher level of difficulty, your enemies have more health and hit harder, but you are able to become stronger as well. The environments you explore are altered and the bosses you face gain more abilities, so you get a fresh experience each time around. It actually works out with the story so played down because it would get a little old after the third or fourth time.
This was my first Diablo game, but the story is not so complicated that you can't figure out what is going on. It is an action-heavy, intense and gory game, and anyone who would enjoy feeling like a super-powered slaughterer of all things evil will have a blast with Diablo III. * * *
Key Points:
Story - A mysterious star falls from the sky and it is up to a powerful hero to investigate the anomaly, combat hordes of demons, undead, monsters and beasts, travel to distant lands and put the nefarious demon lords attempting to destroy humanity back in their place. In other words - kill lots of things.
Gameplay - Diablo III is a loot-based, hack and slash, dungeon crawling role-playing game. The battles are chaotic and beautiful as your enemies explode around you, and the loot you receive motivates you to keep on hacking away. The game performed smoothly for me and the fast load times are incredible.
Lasting Appeal - Being able to replay the game in increasing difficulties and with different characters is a huge plus. Action is constantly intense, victory is rewarding, locations are fun to explore and enemies do not get overly redundant. This, along with the actual size and length of the game will have you playing for more than 100 hours easily.
What You Need to Play This Game - An overwhelming apathy, strong dislike or maybe intense hatred for demons, monsters, undead and evil beasts. This game is not meant for those who may worship the devil or practice necromancy. This game is also not meant for anyone who faints at the sight of computer generated blood or gets nightmares from frightening images.
Played on Normal Difficulty on PS3. Diablo III is rated Mature.

John Francis(1780-1861)
Artist associated with 4 portraits
John Francis was brought up to be a farmer, but his talent for sculpture caused friends to persuade him into a change of career. In 1810, he went to London where he worked first under Samuel Joseph and then under Francis Chantrey. His work came to the attention of the Duke of Sussex who commissioned small, cabinet-sized busts of his own family and many of his political associates. He also became a favourite artist of William IV, and then of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Francis exhibited frequently at the Royal Academy from 1820 until 1857.

For figures, if I'm having difficulty visualizing a pose I can pose myself or a model and work directly from life. (I have some big mirrors mounted in my larger studio room so it's fairly easy for me to pose myself in the general attitude of the figure I need and work from that.) At other times I'll photograph myself using a remote and dump the shots into iPhoto, run them in a slideshow on my laptop and work from those.
When I use photos, I look at several to get the gist of the light effect or manner in which the folds of the fabric are moving and then extrapolate and make up my own figure based on what I've learned. This is quite a bit different from tracing and/or trying to copy a photo, which rarely works. Photos can lie, but they do capture information about details. What you decide to do with them is part of what makes up your "style." Painting from life can be part of the process, but I am more likely to work from a model in my studio for my personal work than for an illustration.
I've done a bare handful of paintings outdoors. Most of my work is painted in the studio using recollections form experiences outside. If I see a particularly compelling cloud or light effect during one of my excursions outdoors I'll try to document it in acrylics on a small panel or card, usually about 5″ x 7″, and I'll use these references at times.

Be sure to tell everyone about your online sponsorship page to help raise donations and consider writing a blog to update them on how you're doing. Every £20 you raise will provide life-saving food for a child for a month.

Your Live Below the Line Kit, which you will recieve in the post when you register, contains a collection box, a special advent calendar, a badge, a postcard and a malnutrition band. These bands are used by Unicef staff in the field. You can find out more about them here. Use your band to create a short video about why you are taking part in the challenge, and share it with your friends and family along with your donation page.
