08-30-2008, 10:44 AMFor the most part, I don't really care what religion (if any) a politician is. Romney's a Mormon - didn't bother me (although I wasn't a fan for other reasons). Lieberman is Orthodox Jewish - doesn't bother me (he's one of my Senators). Wiccans typically respect other faiths - Wiccans won't be crashing planes into tall buildings or beheading people in the streets.
So Palin's AOG? Big fat freaking deal. :) Her faith is her business, not mine.
There are a very limited number of religious affiliations that'd make it hard for me to vote for a candidate. For example, I could never vote for someone who's a Fred Phelps devotee. I would be unlikely to vote for a devout Muslim any time soon. Aside from the few exceptions, I don't care about a politician's faith.
Kind of funny that a lot of moderates and conservatives are more accepting of different religious beliefs than the far left, eh?Last edited by Katiebug; 08-30-2008 at 10:47 AM.
By the way, the Wiccan rumor came about because 2 of her daughters are named the same as good witches on TV shows... Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Piper from Charmed. It may just be coincidence, but if Palin is a fan of those shows like I am, I love her all the more! It means she has an inner geek inside her, and that picture of her with the Viking LARPers only reinforces that possibility! Woohoo, she's my kinda woman!

I'm sure there has been post about this before but i just need to blow off steam right now. My dad and I got into an argument about surfing. He seems to thing surfing is no different then just comming home after school and sleeping on my couch all day. He says in no way is surfing a sport because sports require teamwork, dedication, hardwork, and all that good stuff. This naturally got me very frusterated and just wanted to know if any body else has had similar encounters with people "dissing" surfing.

Your dad probably never surfed or watched one too many Hollywood movies portreying surfers as burnouts or bank robbers. Can't blame him for thinking he knows what is best for you. And in reality he probably wants what is best for you. To be a well-rounded person, in good physical condition and able to make group decisions as a team. As the father of two girls and a surfer I would rather my daughters surf over anything else. It would teach them self-reliance, good physical conditioning and focus among other things. But that's my perspective on the matter, because I surf. If I was a star football player in high school I would want my son to play football. See what I'm getting at? Listen to your dad with an open mind and try to compromise on surfing vs. an organized sport. Do both and you'll be well-rounded individual and your dad will probably opt on letting you surf more because you respect his opinion. Just .02 cents from a surf minded dad.

It has most of that good stuff..
teamwork-- what about golf and tennis(singles)? They are sports and there is no "Team".
dedication-- if you want to get good you have to practice
hardwork-- when I come out of the water I am dead. I literally go and lay on the beach for 5 minutes before I go home.
It has everything as every other sport. Those who "diss" it most likely haven't surfed or if they have they go out on knee high waves, there isn't anything wrong with knee high waves but it's completely different from head high +, and only catch around 5-10 waves then call it a day. They don't have a passion for it. Therefore they really don't see the difficulty in trying to pull off some of those cool tricks, mainly because they have tried.

Dude, don't sweat it. My pops used to say the same thing to me 30 years ago. Now he asks if I have been surfing lately, then says he thinks it's great that I still do it so many years later. He's probably intimidated by that fact that you do it, and there is some little part in him that wishes he did. Let me try to put this in a perspective that is understandable; two time combat vet-two wars (bronze star), 17 years as a cop in one of the roughest small towns on the east coast, two adult children that either graduated with honors or are still in college on the dean's list. After all that I still say one of the smartest things I ever did was surf and continue to this day, even with a pace maker. I run marathons and I still rate going out on a big stormy day higher on the cardio scale.

Get your dad in the water for a couple of hours and then ask him if he thinks it's a real sport when he can barely move the next day after flailing around like a kook for two hours. Then ask him how he would feel after 4+ hours in waves of consequence assuming he actually had the skills to surf.
I can see where he's coming from with the teamwork aspect, but there are a lot of sports that don't involve teamwork (as tommyjohn pointed out above) like certain track events and cross-country. Does he consider those "sports"?
ahhhh Fantastic! For the last 17 years lol, still to this day! I made a 5'8" for some guy' daughter and my dad's exact words "What is the guy soft? what an idiot lettting his 10 year daughter surf"????????!@#$#$%#

Sport is sport if you want to excel. You gotta keep fit to surf, and you gotta keep fit to play football or whatever else you choose to do. The difference is the fact that surfers are often not recognized for their efforts and dedication to their sports. Most folks view sports for kids as an activity you are recognized for. If you're mediocre at basketball, and you sit the bench all season yet your team wins the playoffs or whatever, you still go home with a trophy for all your hard work. If you rip your local breaks harder than any other kid in your age bracket and don't compete, you go home with water logged in your ears unless you compete and travel all over the place.
Tell your Dad to slap on a 5 mil in January and paddle-out on a head high day. After he gives-up blue faced and exhausted he will be humbled and impressed by the folks who can. My old man was a seaman for decades. He understands the power of the ocean. He thinks the folks that actually seek and ride waves that he used to avoid when being on a ship are out of their minds and brave. You Dad doesn't have a reference, unfortunately. That's too bad.

Hey dude - In my 25 years of life I have experienced a lot of different types of sports. I was an all star hockey player, captain of high school and would have played college if not for an ACL tear the summer prior. I played varsity baseball and was seriously into freestyle/downhill mountain biking, quading, and skateboarding in my lifetime - surfing by far humbles me as much as any of them when it comes to athleticism. It is an serious work out possibly more-so than any other sport I've been into and there is a culture/etiquette aspect too it as well. One thing I have realized when talking to others about the intensity surfing can bring is that they really just don't know the feeling until they've tried it... keep charging waves.

Talk of football — what he'll do for an encore after leading the NFL in catches in 2013, about his new teammate DeSean Jackson — will dominate his media sessions and appearances in the coming months, but Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon fielded questions of an entirely different variety on Friday.
Important questions such as this one: Have you ever read a chapter book?
Garcon, who has read several chapter books, was a guest at Overlook Elementary in Temple Hills, where the students were celebrating a third-place finish in the Redskins Read Book Challenge. Oaklands Elementary in Laurel and Guilford Elementary in Sterling were previously honored for finishing first and second, respectively, in the contest, which encouraged students in grades kindergarten through sixth to read at least 10 books during the school year. Fifty-seven schools from 19 counties in D.C., Maryland and Virginia participated.
Sporting his No. 88 jersey, Garcon sat in a rocking chair and, with some help from a few students, read the Dr. Seuss classic 'Oh, The Places You'll Go!' to a classroom of 25 of Overlook's top readers. When he finished, the questions came rapid fire.
What's your favorite color? Do you love to read? Did you go to public libraries as a kid? Do you like to read to dogs? How does reading connect to sports?
"Knowing that they love reading at such a young age is a good thing and it's refreshing to see that," Garcon said afterward. "All of their questions are genuine. They don't have any agenda."
From the classroom, Garcon moved to the auditorium, where the rest of the school's roughly 250 students had gathered. As the students cheered, Garcon danced his way to the stage with Overlook principal Ingrid Williams-Horton, who had kept the visit a secret for three weeks. Williams-Horton knew a Redskins player was coming, but she didn't know it would be Garcon until Friday morning.
"We have a wonderful staff and we played 'Hail to the Redskins' every morning," Williams-Horton said of how Overlook motivated students during the contest.
Garcon took more questions in the auditorium. He answered most of them with aplomb, though he blanked when one student asked him to name his favorite book. He eventually settled on an elementary school favorite, 'Clifford the Big Red Dog,' but later told me he enjoyed 'Charlotte's Web' and 'To Kill a Mockingbird.'
There was at least one aspiring sports writer – or maybe he was just a big football fan – among the students, and he saved one of the few non-reading related questions for last: How does it feel to play with Robert Griffin III?
"Does everyone know who Robert Griffin III is?" Garcon asked. The collective shriek that followed suggested that they did. "It's definitely a greet feeling to play with RGIII. He's a great quarterback; he's a great person too, and he loves to read."
Garcon conceded that he doesn't do a lot of reading for pleasure, but he does monitor articles about the team and himself. After the NFL Network recently named him the 80th best player in 2013, Garcon tweeted, "I guess it's better to be underrated than overrated."
"It happens, you know," Garcon said of his rating. "You're always disappointed if you're not number one because you work hard. It's part of the game. If you're not ranked number one, you're not happy or satisfied. You always gotta do better than what you did last year and work harder and give it your all."
The students at Overlook seemed plenty happy to have finished third in the reading challenge, though Garcon issued a subtle challenge to them, too.
"Being third place is a great honor," he said. "I hear next year you're going to be first."

belief v. practice
Jason Clark challenges us regarding
the gap in our belief versus practice
. We believe in the Kingdom of God. When Jesus, the Apostles, and the disciples went about proclaiming and demonstrating the Kingdom, they were confronted (both positively and negatively). Yet we go about shopping at the mall, buying gas at the station, attending weekend services, etc. without making nary a ripple in the lives we encounter. Hmmm?
Is that we don't believe? Perhaps we don't care? Or is the experience in our lives not deep or recent enough to be reality in our hearts?

A woman is lying in bed reading when her husband walks into the bedroom carrying a sheep. "See this? This is the pig I screw when you've got a headache!" he exclaims. "I think you'll find that is a sheep," his wife says. "I think you'll find I was talking to the sheep!" the husband says. (But then my parents got divorced, and things got SO much better!)
I've taken several classes, done two auditions, and "jammed" on "jam night." (Don't ask about jelly.) Also, I've performed all across various Boston venues, as well as a few comedy festivals.
Improv gives me a good excuse to talk in silly accents (which I would do anyway even if improv didn't exist).
Because people will still laugh at you, but now it'll be in a GOOD way.

Nearly one-quarter of those surveyed were 'OK either way'
TUESDAY, May 11 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers have long assumed that women of childbearing age fall into one of two categories: They are either trying to have children or trying not to have children.
But a new national survey suggests there's a third option: in between. Almost 25 percent of sexually active women aged 25 to 45 who were polled said they think of themselves as "OK either way" when it comes to getting pregnant.
Most of the nearly 4,000 women surveyed -- about 71 percent -- said they weren't trying to get pregnant, while about 6 percent were.
Women who didn't have kids were slightly more likely to be trying to get pregnant: 14 percent said they were, 60 percent said they weren't, and 26 percent were in the either-way category.
"This finding dramatically challenges the idea that women are always trying, one way or another, to either get pregnant or not get pregnant," study author Julia McQuillan, a professor of sociology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said in a news release from the school.
"If health-care providers only ask women if they are currently trying to get pregnant and women say no, then the assumption is that they are trying not to get pregnant," she said. "Clearly, many women are less intentional about pregnancy. Yet this group should be treated as if they will likely conceive and should therefore get recommendations such as ensuring adequate folic acid intake and limiting alcohol intake."
The study was published online May 7 in Maternal and Child Health Journal.

News and Announcements for 2004
Last year the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) focused on communicating the university's strategic plan to all sectors of the university community and held forums to discuss the five priority strategic goals and solicit campus-wide feedback. As a result of feedback from these college and university forums , the priority strategic goals were revised and then approved in November 19, 2003.
This year, the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) has focused on the next stage of the plan: developing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
- KPIs are measures monitored to determine the health, effectiveness and efficiency of an organization.
- KPIs help the organization think strategically about itself and its environment.
- KPIs are specific, objective measures that tell an organization if it is accomplishing its goals.
The SPC has now drafted KPIs for each of the five priority strategic goals and will soon be holding open university forums for all students and bargaining units (such as AFSCME, FA, MAPE, MSUAASF, etc.) to gain community input on these KPIs. The university forums, which will focus on KPIs for specific themes, will be held at the following times and locations:
Date |
Time |
Location |
Priorities to be discussed |
Tuesday, March 30 |
11 am – 1 pm |
Headley Hall 228 |
Diversity and Social Justice, |
Wednesday, March 31 |
1-3 pm |
Brown Hall 143 |
Academic Distinction & Technology |
Thursday, April 1 |
4-6 pm |
Headley Hall 228 |
Diversity and Social Justice, |
Friday, April 2 |
9-11 am |
Centennial Hall 202D |
Academic Distinction & Technology |
The ultimate goal of this process is to further refine the KPIs with university community input. Then later this spring, we will ask for each bargaining unit's support before the SPC recommends to the President, via the Provost, adoption of the KPIs as part of the strategic plan.

On The Way To the Quilt Show...
So, I was driving to the quilt show when DD1 gave me a call. We talked about, what else, quilts and she asked if I was planning on working on Prismata (a quilt designed from one of her drawings). Well, duh...of course, but not sure when. I wanted to make her a koi pond quilt at some point and remembered that she had done some drawings of pond dragons so asked her about them. Now I am picturing them like 6 inches or so and a wall hanging. So I asked her, how big are those pond dragons? To which she replied, "Oh about a foot and a half". So obviously she wants a lake not a pond. Unless it is a pond like my neighbor's have which really has become a small lake, Lake Engler, I think. So I say, "like a queen sized pond?" To which she replied, "Of course!" *sigh*
I was thinking of starting small and then if I can make it work going larger. So we keep talking, negotiating, really. She tells me the story of the pond dragons that she wrote to go with the drawings. Apparently when people see them we see Koi as they swim underwater. Other animals know what they really are but not us. So I say< "What about a drawing of a cat sitting on a rock on the edge of the pond, looking at the pond dragon which is looking up at her? You could do a cut away view and the underwater part would look like a fish (Koi) and the part above the water (that the cat sees) is the dragon? The cat could have that look on her face like, "They may not know what you are...but I do!" Can't you just see it?
We talked a little more and I asked her to send me a drawing of one of the pond dragons and so she sent me a drawing of "Koi". *He* is what the red scaly fabric is being used for!

Bending the Landscape
Bending the Landscape is the title of an award-winning series of LGBT-themed anthologies of short speculative fiction edited by Nicola Griffith and Stephen Pagel.[1][2] Three books were produced, subtitled Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror, between 1997 and 2002.[3]
The editors asked contributors to "imagine a different landscape... some milieu that had not happened" and then address the theme of Alien or Other, with the Other being a lesbian or gay man.
Each of the volumes won LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) or genre awards, including winning a World Fantasy Award, two Lambda Literary Awards and two Gaylactic Spectrum Awards;[4] some individual stories contained within were also recipients of awards and nominations.[4]
The editors asked contributors to "imagine a different landscape... some milieu that had not happened" and then address the theme of Alien or Other, with the Other being a lesbian or gay man. However the stories were not specifically aimed at a gay readership.[5][6] Mark R. Kelly's review in locus magazine bemoaned the anthologies lack of thematic breadth.[5]

The Sega Channel will launch on US cable television at the beginning of 1994. It is likely to appear on a European satellite system shortly afterwards. The channel will carry 50 games that can be downloaded into a special tuner/decoder that will plug into a Sega Megadrive games system.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago last week, Stanley Thomas, president of the Sega Channel, said he was looking at setting up a European operation. 'Developing an international strategy is a major objective of ours.'
Sega is setting up the channel with TCI and Time Warner - the two largest cable operators in the US. However, the channel will be offered to all cable operators, which means it could reach 57 million homes in the US. It will be tested in about 350,000 homes this September. The price will be between dollars 10 and dollars 20 ( pounds 6.50- pounds 13.20) per month.
Because so few homes in the UK are connected to cable, the company is looking at satellite. If it chooses the Astra satellite system, which transmits BSkyB, the channel could cover almost all of the European market.
The selection of titles on the channel will change every month and a subscriber will be able to download any game.
Meanwhile, films will soon be available on compact disc. Paramount announced at the show that it would release films on five-inch CD-I compact discs. CD-I discs contain sound, animation, pictures and text. CD-I players already play standard audio discs and Photo CD discs, but later this year Philips will launch an add-in cartridge to allow images to be read from special discs.
Paramount also said that, with Philips, it would develop three 'interactive movies' where the viewer can control how the story develops.

Re: Happy the psych "re-confirmed" my diagnosis: FURIOUS at my Dr.'s notes on my case
Oh salleh.....
I am SO SORRY hon. That just absolutely SUCKS. I worry about that alot. I am always afraid they will just cut mine off for some reason. When i get low, down to about 10 of them, i worry that "this will be the month"...that i am taken off them.....even though i dont take a large amount, and don't abuse them.....that suddenly, the plug will be pulled and i will be faced with living the way i used to. I dont trust people much. After i had surgery, i began to fret when i got low on pain meds. My husband said, why dont you just call and tell them you need more? And i said, oh no....I can't. They wont believe me....they will say i am lying and not in pain...they will call me a drug seeker.....i am too scared.....YOU call and get some for YOU..... Finally the pain was too much and i couldnt bear it anymore, so after a few days of nothing for pain besides ibuprofen, I went to the clinic. I was actually in tears from pain. Sometimes when i am in a lot of pain i will throw up, or sweat profusely. And she said, "How long has it been since you took a pain med?" and when i told her i had run out....I had gone through a bottle of them in a little over a month...I expected her to say just live with it....junkie!!! I told her i hadnt had one in a few days and i couldnt stand it anymore, the pain was enough i couldnt sleep at night....and she said....my GOD why didnt you call?????? Of COURSE you can have more pain meds....you were supposed to just CALL when you got low on them..... Well i didnt know that! I just always expect people to not care and to not believe me. I knew i had not taken more than i was supposed to, or gotten high off them or anything. I just figured when you were out, you were out, and that was that. Suffer in silence. It makes no sense at all, as i would NEVER expect anyone else to just suffer. But i just have a way of thinking that dont make sense sometimes. I feel your pain hon....I hope you can get in ASAP!!!!! With your prior records SURELY a GP would write you a script....why are they fighting you when this is the dose you have BEEN on? Last edited by Joker_Girl; 06-11-12 at 11:51 PM.. |

Hey guys and gals.
I'm curious if anyone can give me a detailed description of what exactly the capacitor ratings are? I know its all farads. and the uf is a micro-farad. But what exactly does that mean? say whats the difference in a uf 0.1 and a uf 1.0 or uf 100 and so on?

Micro- is a prefix that means "millionth of a ...". So 1 uF is one millionth of a Farad, or 0.000001 F. That's to say micro is a prefix just like milli-, nano-, pico- etc.
Wikipedia link that explains the SI prefixes. The difference between 0.1 uF and 1 uF is just a matter of maths: the difference is 0.9 uF. A capacitor that is 1 uF has bigger capacitance than a 0.1 uF. Mankku |

Basically it can store more charge than a smaller capacitor.
E.g a 1 uf capacitor charged to 10v will release less total power (Voltage x Current) than a 100uf capacitor charged to 10v. Cheers |

capacitance = charge stored per volt
i.e. farads = couloumbs / volts |

Larger capacitors have smaller impedances. Impedance is a complex quantity with a real part and an imaginary part. The value of the imaginary part is:
Increasing either the frequency OR the capacitance makes the imaginary part of the impedance tend toward small vlaues. Conversely small capacitance and low frequency makes the imaginary part of the impedance tend toward large values. -------------------- We never have time to do it right,

Capacity is just that, capacity. Large capacitors hold more charge than smaller ones. It turns out that a farad is a rather cumbersome amount of capacity, so most of the capacitors in use are a small fraction of a farad, hence the prefixes.
Multi farad capacitors are available, but only in low voltages. They are used for memory maintenance, & as stiffening capacitors in car audio systems. -------------------- Trouble rather the tiger in his lair, than the sage among his books.

Jewish World Review May 19, 2005 / 10 Iyar, 5765 Our Pink Panther President? By Victor Davis Hanson
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
"Fahrenheit 9/11," Moveon.org, Anonymous, Richard Clark and now the Newsweek story about alleged desecration of the Koran all these sensations of the day have been used to proclaim the supposed sins of the American administration in the Middle East. Even when Americans consider that the president's foreign policy might just be working, he is still caricatured by critics and the media, here and abroad, as a clueless Inspector Clouseau who trips around and only stumbles into his good luck.
How accurate is that cartoon?
Just imagine if George Bush had predicted to us on the morning after September 11 what actually ended up happening. He might have delivered the following speech:
Ours is not a war on Muslims or the Arab world. Rather, we are in a struggle against a new fascism that resorts to terror. Osama bin Laden must distort Islam and deflect blame onto the United States for the self-inflicted miseries of the Middle East, created by its own illiberal dictatorships.
Therefore, American strategy is three-pronged:
We will hunt down terrorist cells in the United States that due to our laxity have already infiltrated the West.
America will remove rogue regimes abroad that have funded and supported these killers.
In their places, the United States will support consensual governments to ensure a third choice other than just Islamic theocracy or brutal dictatorship.
First, we must go on the offensive. In less than a month, our forces will go to faraway Afghanistan and remove the Taliban within six weeks upon arrival. From that victory, democracy will follow for all Afghans, regardless of tribe or gender.
Some regimes openly sanction terrorists. Others have entered into secretive alliances with them. Saddam Hussein has violated all his past international agreements and murdered thousands of his own and others across his borders. The Senate no doubt will sanction his removal because he is an enemy of the United States, subsidizing anti-democratic terrorists from the West Bank to Kurdistan. In the space of three-week's time, we can liberate Iraq from Saddam's Baathist nightmare and stay on to help the long-suffering Iraqi people secure their freedom under a new democracy.
Pakistan has been hostile, but its cooperation is vital to dismantle al-Qaida. We must win President Musharraf over to the side of civilization and prod him to reform. Such cooperation is fraught with danger. It demands the exposure of the nuclear proliferator Dr. A.Q. Khan and the cessation of his efforts to spread nuclear weapons worldwide. If we are successful, in the next four years most of the leadership of al-Qaida will be scattered into hiding, apprehended or killed.
Democracy is a human aspiration and thus contagious. After our successes in Afghanistan and Iraq, America may well see democratic awakenings in Lebanon, Egypt and the Gulf states.
Such reform could serve as an inspiration to peoples even as far distant as the former Soviet republics and Ethiopia. Syria must and will leave Lebanon to the Lebanese. It is also past time for Colonel Gadhafi in Libya to come clean about his dangerous arsenal. Europeans should join us in stopping the nuclear plans of theocratic Iran.
Yasser Arafat corrupted elections in Palestine. He embezzled billions from his own citizens, subverting all his commitments to peace. Arafat must be shunned and his subsidies cut off. Only that way can fair elections return to the West Bank. The American government certainly will no longer see him as a representative of the Palestinian people.
Despite our historic relationship with Saudi Arabia, American troops will leave the kingdom. Saddam soon will no longer pose a threat, and we must distance ourselves from a Saudi monarchy whose rogue princes have funded terrorists.
Congress will debate this agenda. We must await its vote of approval before moving against both the Taliban and Saddam Hussein. This administration shall stand for election in three years and so the wisdom or folly of these risky policies will be determined by the American voter.
The Taliban ruler Mullah Omar and Saddam Hussein are formidable. Their removal halfway around the world may cost hundreds of American lives. Yet if we act forcefully now, we can fight the suicide bombers and autocrats on their own turf. That way, in the days ahead we will lose far fewer Americans in this war abroad than we have yesterday in peace at home. Only this difficult road ensures that in four years we will not witness a repeat of yesterday's mass murder on American soil.
Had the president promised or even predicted such things after September 11, most of us would have dismissed him as utterly unhinged. But that is precisely what has come to pass.
It is now time to concede it was not entirely a coincidence, and that President Bush was not a "Pink Panther"-like Inspector Clouseau who bumbled about the Middle East, overturned a few things and ended up accidentally accomplishing what legions of "experts" never could.

As others have noted, you're already doing the Right Thing to rid yourself of robots that play by the rules. You might be able to discourage badly behaved robots by creating a tar pit for it to wander into. The problems with this are many, and I'm not inclined to discuss them in any detail, but if you're in desperate times and looking for desperate measures, it's an idea worth consideration and probably rejection.

Discworld Noir Walkthrough :
This walkthrough for Discworld Noir [PC] has been posted at 12 Apr 2010 by chak_in and is called "Walkthrough". If walkthrough is usable don't forgot thumbs up chak_in and share this with your freinds. And most important we have 2 other walkthroughs for Discworld Noir, read them all!

Walkthrough - WalkthroughDiscworld Noir (PC) Walkthrough v1.0 Copyright (C) 2002 by OutRider Rather than making a guide for King's Quest VI, I decided to do one for Discworld Noir this time because I got annoyed at the fact that other guides made for this game leave things out or get things mixed up, making it harder for players to get through the game. My goal is to correct those mistakes so that people won't have such a hard time. WARNING: This walkthrough (like the others) contains spoilers. Please use at your own risk, and don't say I didn't warn you. I'm also an author for these guides: Broken Sword: Shadows of the Templars (PC) Discworld 2: Mortality Bytes! (PC/PlayStation) Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers (PC) Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within (PC) Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned (PC) The Longest Journey (PC) Copyright notice: Don't plagiarize this guide, as legal action will be taken against you. Please don't reproduce this guide for profit. Please do not distribute this guide, and please don't email me requesting permission to add my guides to your site, as enough places already have them on their pages. If you would like to create a HTML version of this guide, please go ahead and do it without my permission, but I do ask that you let me know that you're doing it and where it'll be posted so that I can have the link posted on my website, and also be sure to give me credit. Other than that, have fun and I hope this guide helps you out. Thanks! Unlike the first two Discworld games, where you play as a wizard named Rincewind, Discworld Noir puts you in the shoes of a private investigator named Lewton. He is asked by a mysterious woman named Carlotta to find out what happened to her lover, Mundy. Along the way, he meets a troll named Malachite, who's looking for another troll named Therma. If you can understand Terry Pratchett's sense of humor that he puts into each of the Discworld books and games, then you'll love playing Discworld Noir. With the introductions aside, let's move on to the walkthrough. ACT I Watch the opening sequences. There isn't much to do in Lewton's office right now (and he does have a case to get to work on), so leave and you'll find yourself looking at the map of the city of Ankh-Morpork. Getting around the city can be a bit hard, but if you noticed, places that Lewton can go to are conveniently lit up. If you move your cursor onto a lit location, it'll give you the name of that place. If you move your cursor to the south end of the map towards the docks, you'll learn that it's called the Wharf. Go there, and when you arrive, talk to Mr. Scoplett, the first mate of the ship, who is standing at the top of the gangplank. With Discworld Noir's new conversation system, you'll notice an icon that looks like Lewton's mouth. This icon is for general conversation. Next to it, you'll see an icon that looks like a hand. This is to tell the person you're talking to goodbye. There's also a couple of icons next to those in a section all their own. The icon that looks like a notebook is there so you can ask someone about one of the clues you have written down in it. The handbag icon is there in case you want to offer something in your inventory to the person you're talking to. The large area below the icons is for topics that are available to talk about. Ask Mr. Scoplett about 'Passengers' and then go into your notebook and ask him about the 'Mysterious Passengers' and about the 'Milka'. Note that you may have to flip between pages to find those clues to talk about. He'll tell Lewton that no one can get on the ship without Captain Jenkins' permission. He should mention that Captain Jenkins usually hangs out at Café Ankh (mentioning it will put it on the map for Lewton to visit). Once the new location becomes active, leave the Wharf and go to Café Ankh. Once there, there's a side alley off to the right of the door. Go there and notice that there's a golem going back and forth, loading the cart. Ignore him and take the crowbar off the back of the cart. Go inside the Café, and talk to the man sitting at the table near the pianist. His name is Corporal Nobbs, or Nobby, as Lewton likes to call him. Chat with him using general conversation, and then talk to him about Vimes. Go into your notebook and ask him about the Milka. This should mark Pseudopolis Yard on the map (you'll know if a new location becomes available when you see the map pop up in the upper left corner). You can try talking to Captain Jenkins, who's sitting in the back, to the far left, but he won't let you go check out the ship, so if you want to investigate it, you'll have to find another way. Head back to the Wharf, and exit off to the left to bring a closer view of the area where the crates sit. The sailor that was standing here before should be gone now, so if he is, click on Lewton and then the handbag icon to access the inventory. Use the crowbar on the crates and watch as Lewton is hoisted up and over into the ship's cargo hold. There's a label floating around in the water near Lewton, so pick it up and examine it. Leave the hold and go through the left door on the other end to find yourself in a cabin. Check the lower bunk and you'll find a scrap of cardboard. Examine it if you want, but leave the cabins and try leaving the ship. Watch as Lewton dives into the water so he'll avoid being caught by Mr. Scoplett. Go to Pseudopolis Yard and talk to Nobby about the mysterious passengers. Leave the Yard, and Lewton will come face to face with a troll named Malachite. He'll tell you to find Therma, but he won't give you too many other clues, except for the fact that she used to sing at the Octarine Parrot. Go to the Octarine Parrot, and talk to the bartender using general conversation, and talk to him about everything. When the troll singer isn't singing, go talk to her and ask her about Malachite and Therma. Leave the Octarine Parrot and go back to the Yard. Ask Nobby about Madame Lodestone. He'll tell you what Sapphire has already mentioned back at the Parrot: She's dead, and she's buried in the Selachii Mausoleum. Go to the Mausoleum and try clicking on the tombs. Lewton will try finding Therma's tomb, but to no avail. Leave here and go talk to Nobby at the Yard about Mysterious Passengers, and he should tell you that he managed to interview someone and that she's at the Café Ankh. Go inside the Café Ankh and watch the sequence where Lewton apparently catches up with an old flame named Ilsa. Talk to her using general conversation, and then go into your notebook and ask about Mysterious Passengers. Lewton will write down another clue in his book 'Ilsa and Two Conkers'. Use the label as a dialogue choice and Ilsa will translate the label as saying 'Pier Five'. Leave the Café Ankh and go to Lewton's office. Here, you should meet a dwarf named Al Khali (if he doesn't show up, sometimes it helps to exit and then re-enter). Listen to him and then leave and go to Pier Five. Talk to the guard and exit off to the left to find yourself looking at the side of the warehouse. Move your cursor up towards the roof until you find the skylight and click on it. Lewton will say that he'll need help to get up there. Leave Pier Five and go to Lewton's office. Near Lewton's feet, you should see a note. Pick it up to learn it's from Carlotta, and she's inviting you to come to the Von Uberwald mansion, her home. Leave the office and go over there. Listen to the butler, and when you can, go into your inventory and show him the invitation. He'll leave so while he's gone, take a look at the painting over the door and Carlotta will soon arrive. If you talk to her about the Selachii Mausoleum, she'll agree to help you find Therma's tomb. While she heads back upstairs to go change, the butler will inform you that the master of the house would like to see you. Lewton will automatically go visit the Count. Listen to what he has to say and then go to the Selachii Mausoleum. Eventually, Carlotta will find Therma's tomb. Leave here and go back to the mansion. Ask the butler about the Count and he'll accidentally let the fact that the Count's missing a companion slip out. Exit off to the lower left and you'll find the room where the Count is located. Ask the Count about his missing companion and he'll give you a picture of Regin the dwarf. Exit the mansion and go to Rhodan's workshop, it's time to tell Malachite the bad news. Inside, you'll see that Rhodan is currently working on a statue. Ignore him for now and go into the back to find Malachite. Tell him about Therma and you'll wind up back at the mausoleum. Malachite will eventually open up the tomb, but you'll find out that the body in the tomb isn't Therma's. Malachite will give you a grappling iron before he leaves, so after that, check out the rubble in the tomb and take one of the teeth you find in there. Go to the side of Pier Five and use the grappling hook (or iron, whichever you prefer) on the skylight and Lewton will climb up. At the top, use the crowbar on the skylight and then climb on down through it. Off to the right, you'll find a matchbook on the floor with a piece of it ripped off. Go into your inventory and use the scrap you found back at the Milka and combine it with the matchbook. Climb back out of the building and then leave Pier Five. Go to the Octarine Parrot and talk to Mankin. Ask him about Mundy first, and then show him the matchbook. He'll tell you that he doesn't know about either thing. A new topic will show up, called 'Lies'. Click on it and Mankin will eventually tell you where to find Mundy. Exit off to the right, and watch as Act 1 comes to an end. ACT II After Nobby and Vimes leave, look at the frayed rope on the ceiling. Use the clue that Lewton writes down about the rope on Mundy's boots and then take a look at his boots. Lewton will notice that something is missing. Take a look at the message in blood and then use the Mundy Hung Upside Down and Killed clue on it to learn that 'Azile' is actually '3712A'. Leave the room and go talk to Mankin. Talk to him about the 'Mundy Hung Upside Down and Killed' clue, and then talk to him about the topics that show up. He'll give you a coin and after that, ask him about the 'Sapphire Lied?' clue. He'll tell you that Sapphire is currently in her dressing room, so exit through the doorway near the stage to find her. When you enter, you'll notice that Sapphire has a lot of money. She'll tell you about the Saturnalia Casino, which will then be activated on the map. Before you leave, talk to Mankin about Sapphire's money. Go to the Wharf and show the picture of Regin to Mr. Scoplett. He'll tell you that he came by on a carriage and picked up some cargo when the Milka first docked. Go to Pseudopolis Yard and ask Nobby about Regin's Carriage. He'll tell you that Sergeant Colon was almost hit by a speeding carriage three days ago near Maudlin Bridge. Go back to the Wharf to notice that Milka has already departed. Use the grappling hook and combine it with the mooring line and then leave to go to Maudlin Bridge. Once there, take a look at the skid marks. There's also a piece of torn fabric on the railings, so take it. Use the grappling hook on the River Ankh and Lewton will comment that something is down there, but he's not strong enough to pull it up. Leave the bridge and go to the Saturnalia Casino. Head inside and watch the sequence where an assassin named Remora Selachii tries killing Ilsa, but not before Lewton steps in between them to stop the hit. After the sequence, talk to Whirl, the right-most croupier. Bribe Whirl using Lewton's purse and he'll tell you about Sapphire's losing streak. Leave the casino and go to Lewton's office to find an uninvited guest, Al Khali. He'll take you to his leader, a troll named Jasper Horst. Listen to him and he'll tell you to bring him the Golden Sword. Talk to him about everything that comes up and then leave. Go visit Sapphire at the Octarine Parrot and ask her about her losing streak and secret meeting, and then confront her. She'll tell you how she actually got all that money. Go back to the Saturnalia and talk to Carlotta about the Golden Sword. You'll wind up at her place, so talk to her about the Milka's cargo and you'll get a shipping order. Leave the mansion and go to Pier Five. Give the watchman the shipping order and he'll let you see the cargo. Go to Rhodan's workshop and talk to Malachite about the thing in the river and he'll agree to help you, but you have to give him the grappling hook first. Do so and you'll find yourself at the Maudlin Bridge. Malachite will throw the hook down and lift a carriage out. Lewton will search the inside of the carriage and he'll find a small box. Before he has a chance to look at it, Malachite swipes the box and walks off with it. Examine Regin's body and then use the picture on it to compare them. You'll notice that in the picture, Regin is bald, but in the flesh, he has hair. Lewton will take the toupee off of Regin's head, only to discover a key hidden inside. Go to the Saturnalia and talk to the croupier about the key. He'll say that it fits inside the lockers at the casino, so exit off to the left and use the key on the lockers. Lewton will eventually find the right one and open it and he'll find a charm bracelet and an envelope inside. Go to the mansion and tell the butler that you'd like to talk with the Count. Tell the Count about Regin's murder and then ask him about the charm bracelet. Leave the mansion and go to the Café Ankh. Go over to where Ilsa used to sit and you'll find Samael, the pianist. Ask him about the wine barrels and Samael will end up giving the key to the cellar. Leave the Café Ankh and go into the side alley. Use the key on the trapdoor and you'll find Ilsa and Two Conkers. Ask Ilsa about the Varberg crates to learn that they're hers. She'll ask you to hide Two Conkers and in return, she'll get you into the Archaeologist's Guild. Before you leave, look at the box of receipts behind Lewton to find that the most recent delivery was to the Patrician, Lord Vetinari. Now leave and go to the office. Pick up the card by Lewton's feet to learn that Sapphire has scheduled a meeting with Therma for you on the rooftops of Salis and Phedre. Go tell Malachite the good news, and you'll go with him to the meeting. Lewton will soon be knocked out and he'll learn that Malachite was killed (poor guy). When Lewton comes to, you'll find yourself being interrogated by the Watch. Answer whatever you want, because you'll wind up in a cell anyway. Stand around in your cell until you see a rat run across the room and disappear into a rat hole. Search the crack in the wall on the right side to find out that the block is loose. Move the block and you'll end up in Leonard de Quirm's cell. Talk to him and then go up to the wall and look out the hole. As soon as you're done, Lewton will hear someone opening up his cell door and he'll go running back before it's noticed that he's gone. Nobby will come by to set you free because they found a witness to Malachite's murder, which means you're cleared for now. You'll get all of your inventory back, except for your crowbar, which was kept for evidence. Go back to the Patrician's Palace and exit off to the right to take a look at the side of it. Take a look at the wall and then use the Hiding Place clue on it. To test to be sure that Lewton can get back in; use the grappling hook on the wall. Go back to where Ilsa is hiding and tell her the good news. Watch the sequences and you'll eventually find yourself at the Archaeologist's Guild. Talk to Laredo Cronk (who looks like she could be Lara Croft's twin sister), who's standing by the fireplace, and then go to Jasper Horst's hideout. Talk to him about Laredo Cronk and then go back to the Guild. Tell Laredo about Horst and she'll leave. While she's gone, examine the bookcase and then pull on the hinged book to watch the fireplace open. Follow the path to Vault 51 and try to turn off the security system, without any luck. Go to Saturnalia and talk to the wizard standing next to Whirl about anything that pops up, and he'll eventually say that he works for Unseen Securities, a place that makes magical security systems. Talk to him about Vault 51 and he'll tell you the Back Passage of turning off the system. Go back to the vault and use the Back Passage clue on the panel and Lewton will deactivate it. Enter the door and then use the 3712V clue on the crates and displays. Lewton will eventually find the exhibit, and when he does, use the diamond troll tooth on the urns and Lewton will cut through the glass cabinet. He'll smash the urn and get the golden sword. Leave the Guild and watch as Lewton meets an untimely demise….or so it seems…insert Disc 2 and we'll continue ACT III You'll learn that Lewton isn't dead after all; he was just merely turned into a werewolf. After he rises out of his grave, you'll notice a dog named Gaspode standing nearby. He'll explain the whole werewolf thing to Lewton and when you can, pick up the letter to learn it's a love letter from Ilsa. Turn into a wolf and then check out the magenta smell to trace it to Saturnalia. Lewton will automatically change back into a human, so when he does, pick up the moss near the chalk outline and then go to your office to catch Nobby in the middle of stealing your stuff. When he leaves, take the crowbar that's on the desk and then turn into a wolf. Check out the purple smell and Lewton will remember it. Turn back into a human and then go to the mansion. Ask the butler to see Carlotta and while he's gone, turn into a wolf to learn that Carlotta herself is a werewolf. Now, ask the butler to see the Count to learn that he is on his last legs. Death will soon show, and when you can, ask the Count about the moss to gain access to his Libraris Apocrypha. Inside, use the moss on the index cards and Lewton will find a book to learn more about the moss. When he's finished, use the Sewers clue that you just wrote down on the index cards and Lewton will go find some old city plans. Leave the mansion and go to the sewers. Once there, go through the only other exit and then turn into a wolf. Follow the magenta smell, and when Lewton turns into a human again, turn back into a wolf and follow the smell again. Examine the debris and pick up the pendant you find. The Grim Squeaker will appear after that, so talk to him if you want. Otherwise, make your way out of the sewers and go visit Two Conkers. Show him the pendant and he'll tell you about the Temple of Anu-anu. Leave the palace and go to the Octarine Parrot. Check out the notice board to learn that Unseen University is looking for help. Talk to Mankin about the Merchant's murder and the Merchant's Guild will be activated on the map. Go into Sapphire's dressing room and turn into a wolf. Check out all the smells and put them with the rest of the smells. Look at the left most bottle to find out it's a bottle of perfume. Turn back into a human and take the perfume. Go to the New Hall and talk to Ms. Fomes about the job, the wizard's murder and the Dead Men's Pointy Shoes. Head down into the next screen and turn into a wolf. Look at the octarine board, and then turn back into a human. Search the sturdy unlocker to find some books. Look at the books and you'll find a book on temples. Use the Anu Anu Temple clue on the octarine board and Lewton will mess up the lesson plans. Go through the door nearby and talk to the porter (Bledlow) about the wizard's murder and you'll learn that he was actually poisoned. Go to the Palace and go over to the next screen. Transform into a wolf and sniff the smells you see. Use the serial killer's smell on the traces of magenta to learn that the killer hid in a barrel. Go to the wine cellar at Café Ankh and check out the box of receipts to learn that the wine barrels will be picked up soon. Use the crowbar on the barrels and Lewton will hide in one of them and when he comes out, you'll find him inside the Patrician's Palace. Leave the room and go around the corner. Turn into a wolf and listen to hear what's going on the other side of the double doors. After Vimes and the Patrician are done talking, Lewton will run and attack a guard. You'll next find him in his office, with Remora waiting for him. After the sequence, go to the Merchant's Guild and talk to the gatekeeper about the Dead Men's Pointy Shoes and then go see the Count at the mansion. Ask Death about the merchant's murder twice and he'll slip and reveal how the merchant was actually killed. Go to the Unseen University's New Hall and use the beetle pendant on the book about temples and Lewton will get the beetle opened, revealing a list of names. Leave here and go to Café Ankh. You'll see that Carlotta is here. Tell her about Mundy's death and ask if she killed him. Ask her about Regin's and Malachite's deaths and she'll eventually mention that she worships the god Errata. Go to the Temple of Small Gods, and exit off to the left. Talk to man in the corner, Mooncalf, about the list and then leave the temple. Go to the cemetery next to it and go to the next screen. Turn into a wolf and listen in on Mooncalf's and the troll's conversation. After that, go back into the temple. Talk to Malaclypse, the priest near the door, and ask him about Errata and the True Believers' meeting. He'll say something about the Inner Sanctum of the temple, and he'll get you inside. Search the lectern and Lewton will find a cavity near the base big enough for a person to fit inside. Malaclypse will inform Lewton that people are coming and Lewton will hide in the cavity. Listen to the sermon, and when you regain control, use the troll perfume on Mooncalf's feet. After the service is over, Lewton will automatically turn into a wolf and follow Mooncalf to his hiding place. Lewton will listen in on the secret meeting, and when someone hears something outside, Lewton will run away. Go to the Sanctuary and look at the fresco, and then look at the strange symbol and Lewton will make a sketch of it in his notebook. Go to the Count's library and use the Nylonathatep clue on the index cards and Lewton will go look for some information. Do the same thing with the strange symbol and then go back to the Sanctuary. Use the Counterweight Killings, Regin's Murder, Malachite's Murder, and the Mundy's murder clues on the Ankh-Morpork map and Lewton will figure out where the killer will strike next. Leave the Sanctuary and go to the newly-activated Dysk Theatre. All you need to do here right now is pick up the flyer off of the chair and then go back to the Library. Use the flyer on the index cards, and Lewton will find something on Hwel's Eight Great Tragedies. Now, go back to the Dysk Theatre. Walk up close to the stage and turn into a wolf. Lewton will notice his killer's smell, but what's odd is that it seems to disappear right into the stage. Turn back into a human and look at the strange marks on the stage base. Use the sign of the Eel on it and you'll have unlocked a hidden passageway. Lewton will follow it, only to discover a hidden temple! Use the Eight Great Tragedies clue on the altar and then leave the Sanctuary and go to Dagon Street. Use the crowbar on the boarded up window nearby and enter. Search the debris and you'll find a human femur, indicating that the killer has already been here. Leave Dagon Street and go to the Wizard's Pleasaunce and hide in the bushes. Watch the sequences and Act III will end. ACT IV Look at the writing on the wall near Lewton and then search the debris near Warb's body to recover the golden falchion. Leave the temple and go to the Von Uberwald Mansion to learn from the butler that the Count has died. The Count is still allowing you access to the library, however, so take this opportunity to do some more research on Nylonathatep, and you'll learn about a jewel called the radiant trapezohedron. Leave the mansion and go check on Leonard and Two Conkers. Talk to Leonard about the radiant trapezohedron, and even though he can't give you too much info on it, Two Conkers is of more help because that was what he was looking for in the first place. He'll give you a star map, and after that, leave and go to the Sanctuary. You'll learn you're not alone. You'll find a man named Kondo and he and Lewton will get into a fight. Lewton will eventually turn into a wolf and kill him. Search his body and you'll find an amulet. Go to the Temple of Small Gods and talk to Mooncalf. Ask him about the amulet and then watch the sequences as Mooncalf jumps out the stained glass window and then proceeds to scale the side of the temple to the roof. At the top, he is electrocuted by lightning and he'll fall backwards through the skylight and into a pool, where he is found dead. Before he died, Mooncalf mentioned something about Foid (the troll you saw earlier with Mooncalf). Since you don't know where he's at, try asking Rhodan at his workshop to see if he knows anything. Go to where Malachite used to be and pick up the plastered bandages nearby. Talk to Rhodan and ask him about them and get him to tell you where Foid is. He'll tell you that he's at the place across from the abandoned shop on Dagon Street (well, he doesn't say that, but you'll be able to figure it out anyway). Go there and open up the door to the house across from the shop. Talk to Foid about the amulet and the falchion, and he'll tell you about Satrap's contact, Gelid. Go to the New Hall of Unseen University, and Mrs. Fomes will fire Lewton for being the worst bed maker. Go to Pseudopolis Yard and talk to Nobby about getting a search warrant. He won't give one to you, but Lewton will devise a way to blackmail him. You'll get the warrant you need, so return to the New Hall. Mrs. Fomes will disappear to verify the warrant, so while she's gone, go to where the porter usually is to find a pool of blood in his place. Lewton will turn into a wolf and follow the trail over to the observatory, where you'll find Satrap. Watch the sequences, and with Satrap now dead, there's a few things left to do. Pick up the astrolabe off of the floor near the telescope and use the map on the mosaics on the floor. Pick out the Small Group of Boring Stars and Lewton will tell the golem to move the telescope in the direction of that constellation. Look through the telescope to have Lewton deduce that the jewel is hidden in the Selachii Mausoleum, which is our next stop. Use the astrolabe on the sky and Lewton will figure out where to go. Examine the grotesque statue and Lewton will unlock the door to the crypt. Use Mundy's coin on the indentation and the sarcophagus will be unlocked. Watch as a zombie pops out…to get the jewel from him, talk to the zombie about the falchion and you'll get the radiant trapezohedron. Try leaving the crypt to find Jasper Horst blocking your way with Ilsa as his hostage. Lewton will give up the falchion, but all is not lost. You'll wind up at Lewton's office, so before you do anything, take a look at the radiant trapezohedron to learn where Horst is hiding, which is at the Maudlin Bridge, our next stop. Watch the sequences as Horst is killed and Carlotta is arrested by the Watch. Go to Leonard's cell and clear the debris off of the roof. Talk to Leonard and Lewton will volunteer to fly his machine. Ilsa will drop out of nowhere to warn Lewton about needing protection. To protect yourself, use the sign of the Eel on the machine and then try flying it again. You'll be rewarded with the ending sequences. That's all she wrote, folks! You've just completed Discworld Noir!

Microsoft: Xbox One to Launch in Japan in 2014 - News
by William D'Angelo, posted on 03 July 2013 / 3,805 ViewsMicrosoft Japan President Yasuyuki Higuchi, spoke in an interview with 4 Gamer (and translated by DualShockers), that the Xbox One won't launch in Japan until early 2014. He described Japan as a second tier country.
"For the launch of Xbox One Japan is a Tier 2 country and not a Tier 1 country, so it'll come with the second wave, that will be delayed a little bit [compared to North America]," said Higuchi. "It won't be delayed too much from the North American release," he later added.
Early 2014 could mean a launch in March or April. The Xbox One is not expected to launch in the rest of Asia until the same time or even later in 2014.
