Latinx in Gaming Game Jam 2017: Event Recap
6 November, 2017
Organized by Team Xbox Latinx in partnership with Unity, Xbox Mexico, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) and the Mexican Association of Video Games. As part of efforts by Unity and the Asociación Mexicana de Videojuegos the event was held to support new generations of game developers in Latin America.
Many of these devs have attended our Latinx in Gaming events during Game Developer's Conference (GDC) and knew about our commitment with the Latino/Hispanic community, which was an important component for being able to collaborate across the industry, borders and in the community.
The workshops:
Day 1 included morning and afternoon workshops at Microsoft Mexico. Naxla Mina Sayeg welcomed attendees; Arturo Nerau from Unity presented the latest techniques for creating games using the engine; Esteban Lora from Xbox talked about ID@Xbox and the Xbox Live Creators Program; Fernando Reyes Medina of 343 showed participants how to convert a retail console to dev kit, how to add Xbox Live services when developing a game, and closing with interactivity in games using Mixer.
The Game Jam:
Day 2 was at the ITAM. The day kicked off with a discussion hosted by Ana Lidia Franzoni, PhD., the Director of the Computer Engineering program at ITAM, of the impact of the recent earthquake in Mexico City. After this, Ana officially started the jam by pulling a random theme for the Game Jam. The result was "Do a Barrel Roll!" in reference to "Peppy" from the Star Fox games. Nine teams spent the rest of the day creating and developing a concept. The results included many delighful and creative surprises including a game with a hamster named Toffee for a main character, a clever circular moving puzzle, and a hand draw character named Zedaru derived from the Zapotec dialect.
After submitting their project, each team had 5 minutes to pitch their game to an independent panel of experienced professionals from the industry.
Later that evening, attendees were given a chance to socialize and network at a casual mixer.
Finalists of the Latinx Game Jam 2017 were announced and the top team was awarded an Xbox One S; second and third place teams received a Minecraft Xbox controller.
The three teams also got a pass for Fan Fest Mexico City 2017.

Authorities demanded Twitter, online scanner censorship before setting fire to cabin
Paul Joseph Watson
February 13, 2013
Audio which indicates police involved in the siege against Christopher Dorner deliberately planned to set fire to the fugitive's cabin was preceded by an attempt by authorities to impose a media blackout in an apparent effort to cover up the chain of events that led to Dorner's death.
As the standoff reached its height, Big Bear-area police scanners were disabled online in order to "ensure officer safety." However, the feeds were not cut until after police were clearly heard discussing plans to "go ahead with the plan with the burners," while on another audio feed from a local news broadcast, cops were heard shouting, "burn this motherfucker."
At around the same time, CNN's Wolf Blitzer announced that police had asked news networks not to film live footage of the scene.
Earlier in the day, the the LAPD issued a request to media outlets to "please stop tweeting" about unfolding events.
This was followed by a tweet, subsequently deleted, from the San Bernardino District Attorney which stated, "The sheriff has asked all members of the press to stop tweeting immediately. It is hindering officer safety."
Luckily, journalist Max Blumenthal, who was listening live to police scanner feeds, defied the order and continued to tweet about how cops were talking about their plan to burn down the cabin, which led to Dorner's death.
The ferocious response from twitter users to the attempted media blackout led some mainstream news outlets to report that "conspiracy theorists" saw the censorship as a deliberate attempt to cover up the fact that "police left Dorner to burn alive inside the cabin."
However, this is no longer up for debate, since police scanner audio clearly captures officers talking about letting the fire "burn through the basement," having previously planned to "burn that fucking house down."
The deliberate attempt to blackout media coverage of the event in the hours leading up to the cabin being intentionally set on fire by police clearly suggests that authorities were keen to cover up the fact that they were carrying out the pre-planned execution of Christopher Dorner.
Reports that Dorner was " pushed back inside" the cabin when he attempted to leave also point to this conclusion. Why not just shoot him if he failed to surrender? Why push him back inside the building and prolong the standoff?
No one is attempting to condone Dorner's actions, but the fact that police officers carried out what clearly appears to be a pre-planned summary execution, on top of their frenzied random shooting sprees of innocent people over the last few days, is a frightening glimpse into a fast-approaching police state where authorities dish out instant Judge Dredd-style justice by killing Americans accused of crimes and denying them a fair trial.

There's something different about comedian Louis CK. He talks about the usual fare, chewing on topics like marital relations, raising a family and the sad truth of aging. But soon his show takes a different turn, one most people don't expect. He starts talking about race and suddenly everything gets a little uncomfortable.
There's something different about comedian Louis CK.
He talks about the usual fare, chewing on topics like marital relations, raising a family and the sad truth of aging.
But soon his show takes a different turn, one most people don't expect. He starts talking about race and suddenly everything gets a little uncomfortable.
He's not racist, nor is he following in the frantic footsteps of Chris Rock. CK, who was raised in Newton, is a 49-year-old, balding Caucasian male who nonchalantly brings up some of the most sensitive issues in culture, and somehow gets the audience to laugh with him.
"I don't do any of this stuff to offend people," explains CK. "I'm aware that I'm offending some people. But I'm finding there are enough people enjoying it that it's worth offending the few…or maybe the many."
CK (which helps people pronounce his real last name of "Szekely") is returning to his home state for a show that will be taped for an upcoming HBO special "Louis CK: Chewed Up" at the Berklee Performance Center from Feb. 29-March 1. His first HBO special was called "Shameless."
"That was a very rough special," says CK. "It was scattered and I wasn't prepared. I wasn't as deliberate as I will be this time. I said f*** almost every other word and when I look at it now, it was born out of a lot of nervous energy. But this time, I'm using words that are really not OK for a 49-year-old white guy to use."
These are words that are rarely uttered in public and if they are, it's usually done with a whisper or said in code (think "See you next Tuesday").
It's strange to find that shock still exists, especially in a culture where celebrities find new lows in human depravity and reality shows pry into private lives of the general public.
But CK pulls it off, with a level of honesty in his voice that somehow makes it OK. Some may remember his comedic technique on his short-lived HBO sitcom "Lucky Louie," which depicted a dark side (or some might say realistic side) of raising a family. The show was set in Boston and tackled issues like sex and race so fearlessly that it caused Barbara Walters to declare it a sexist and racist show (CK defended it on "The View").
In one show, Louie's wife looks bored during sex. In another, their 4-year-old daughter declares that she doesn't want "the Black Barbie." Louie also finds a way out of the incessant "Why?" questions from his daughter by replying "Because God is dead and we're alone."
That's CK's brand of comedy. He doesn't set you up for a joke nor does he do impressions. He produces an atmosphere of honesty on stage that is both frightening and comical. But how did he become so comfortable with things most people wouldn't dare say?
"Once you're 40, married and with children, you're really locked in," says CK. "Pretty much, the next thing you're gonna do is die. I think you earn the right to say what you want. My big thing was to try to do material in this special that no one wants to hear me do, but by the time they're done with it, everybody, old ladies, Christians, everybody will like it."
Audiences for CK's show are varied. They can be liberal college students shifting uncomfortably in their seats at his political incorrectness or older people shaking their head at his sexual material.
And yet, by some miracle of trust between performer and audience, CK brings people with him despite his harsh material.
"I think it's because I'm being honest," says CK. "I'm not trying to be a [jerk] and say 'ha-ha' I made you laugh at a certain word. I get them all to a place where they are all laughing at the same stuff. And that's a great thing to be able to do that. Because, well, I grew up in Newton and everyone's nice in Newton. It's a nice town. I'm a nice guy. But I have a black, ugly heart."
Perhaps his skewed sense of humor developed from being a sort of outsider in Newton. After living in Mexico during his younger years (his dad is Mexican), CK moved to Newton, "near the Mass. Turnpike by the lake, which was where the people who mowed the lawns of the big houses in Newton Centre lived."
He says he flunked every class he took at Newton North High School and was one of the only kids who "got high, dropped acid and listened to punk rock.""I was a really bad kid, back in the day," admits CK.
But today that former bad kid has found a way bring up the kinds of subjects that could get a bad kid kicked out of school.
"I don't think I could talk [seriously] about any of this stuff," says CK. "I think it would make people too uncomfortable."Louis CK

Hemet High School had a problem. The pens that kept its sheep and goats from running amok were in shambles.
"The pens were torn apart," said Adam Graham, 18, of Hemet. "The wood pieces were broken, the animals were getting out."
So Adam took on the task of fixing the pens to earn his Eagle Scout rank. He kicked off the effort last spring by soliciting donations from local hardware stores, then hitting up family members and friends for donations.
Then one weekend last April nearly two dozen family members, friends, and fellow Boy Scouts from the Lake Elsinore-based Troop 196 converged on the high school's farm area to tackle the project.
They replaced the animal pens' wood frames, and put up new steel mesh. They built new doors for the pens, and replaced rotten support beams. In effect, the project served as a major renovation of dilapidated animal pens at the Hemet campus.
It went fairly smoothly -- except for when they accidently busted a water line, but that problem was fixed quickly -- and the end result was fantastic, Adam said.
"It turned out quite well," Adam said. "Everything went according to plan. It looked exactly the way I wanted it to."
Campus leaders said they were extremely happy with the renovation as well, said Adam, who added that the effort was well worth it.
"It made me feel happy that I was able to do something for my school, to give back," he said.
Adam graduated from Hemet High in May, and earned his Eagle Scout rank in October. He now attends Mt. San Jacinto College, where he is studying physical education. He said he plans to transfer to a four-year college and ultimately earn an athletics training degree.
He said he enjoyed his time in the Boy Scouts, and learned a lot from the experience.
"It's helped me with leadership, and work and communication," he said.

I'm not supposed to still be on the internet. But here's what happened. I went back to Flickr to check if I had any comments (I did!) and followed a link to a commenter's photos. This is how it starts. Then, I followed another commenter…and so it goes.
I found this blog, Crazy Mom Quilts, which is FULL of inspiration. Most inspiring – this Red Cross Quilt. I truly love this quilt. I've been searching and searching for the most perfect quilt for my sister, and this is it. I've been saving blue and aqua fabrics, and it's going to be perfect.
I also stumbled onto Johanna Wright's artwork on etsy. Wow. My craft room will not be complete until I have some of her prints – or even better – some of her original paintings. I LOVE her.
Now, I seriously need to get off of here. Now that I've saved those links for myself, I can go do something else. Like sew. Or drink coffee.

A New York woman who'd just seen her 10-year-old daughter raped during a carjacking was stabbed to death during a struggle that allowed the child to escape and get help, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said 29-year-old David Renz was trying to use cable ties to bind the woman to a headrest in her car when she fought back and shouted for the girl, whose hands were tied behind her back, to bolt from the car.
As the child ran off and was rescued by a passing motorist, her mother was strangled and repeatedly stabbed in the head and chest, according to a 37-count indictment that includes a top count of first-degree murder.
"(The mother) died really saving Jane Doe," Fitzpatrick said at a news conference. "There's no question that she attempted to distract Renz so that little Jane could get away."
He said he will seek a sentence of life without parole if Renz is convicted.
Prosecutors said the attack happened two or three weeks after Renz acquired cable ties and an air pistol they said was used to threaten the woman into stopping in a suburban Syracuse mall parking lot as she was leaving a gym class on the evening of March 14.
Authorities said Renz had hours earlier removed and quickly reassembled an electronic bracelet so monitors didn't immediately realize he'd taken it off. He was ordered to wear the device as a condition for being released from jail after his arrest in January on federal child pornography charges.
Fitzpatrick said some child porn Renz possessed included scenes similar to the attack on the mother and child. The Associated Press generally doesn't publish information that could identify potential sex crime victims and isn't naming the slain woman to protect the girl's identity.
After stopping the car, Renz ordered the woman to drive to a remote part of the parking lot where he bound both victims' hands with cable ties and raped the child, Fitzpatrick said.
Renz then drove them a short distance until the car got stuck in a snow bank, prosecutors said. It was there, they said, that he tried to restrain the mother and the child escaped, looking back to see her mother had gotten out of the car and was being chased by Renz.
A passing motorist found the girl and alerted police who caught Renz nearby after a foot chase. Fitzpatrick said Renz had the woman's car keys and blood on his clothes matched that of the child.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Matthew Doran said a knife found on the snow nearby is being tested to determine if it was used to kill the mother. He said the air pistol hasn't been found.
Renz, who lived in Cicero, has pleaded not guilty in both the federal and state cases. On Wednesday, a judge set a June 3 trial date for the federal child porn case.
A federal grand jury indicted him last month on one count of receiving and five counts of possessing child pornography. An FBI investigation led to the charges that he downloaded the pornography featuring young girls over the course of two years and had five DVDs and CDs, according to the indictment.
The state indictment handed up Wednesday includes multiple counts of murder, kidnapping, predatory sexual assault against a child, sexual abuse, menacing, weapon possession, and possessing a sexual performance by a child.

Escapist Website Mass Bans (Then Unbans And Guilts) Users Who Mention Adblock
from the building-community-and-value-through-uppercuts dept
Chodelord writes in to note that the Escapist website recently decided it would be a good idea to ban users from their forums simply for mentioning Adblock. The thread in question started after a user complained that an add for Time Warner Cable was slowing down his computer. Apparently, users who responded to the poster by suggesting the user "get Firefox and AdBlock" found themselves banned from the forums. Users didn't even need to admit they even used AdBlock to get banned -- they simply had to recommend it as a solution to a seemingly-annoying ad. Looking at the forums recently amended posting guidelines does confirm that the folks at the Escapist believe that giving browsing preference advice is a "non forgivable" offense:
Do not confess, teach, admit to, or promote ad-blocking software that will allow users to block the ads of this site.Indeed. Users quickly (and justly) started complaining about the fact that friends they'd had for years were suddenly being bashed over the head with the ban hammer simply for mentioning an incredibly popular and legal application. After a lot of complaints, the Escapist ultimately wound up unbanning the users according to a forum post, and instead just settled on trying to make the community feel really guilty:
I truely hope that everyone that reads this will consider turning off their ad-blocker for this site. If we have offended you or you don't deem this site to be worthy (and would like to have it shut down instead), do what you will, but don't pretend to be surprised if the site dies.
While it's nice that the Escapist listened to their community, saw reason, and backed away from their ridiculous decision, that doesn't make the decision any less ridiculous (and while they reversed course, the posting guidelines remain unchanged). It also doesn't justify telling your readers that they're responsible for the failure of your business model should users decide to block annoying ads. As Ars Technica recently found out, mandating what your users can and can't do with their own browsers doesn't exactly foster adoration within your community to begin with, but subsequently telling those users they should take a hike if they don't like your position (or in this case even mention ad blockers) isn't particularly endearing, either.
As we've mentioned previously in great detail, if you've got ads on your website that are annoying your users, that is your fault -- not your users' fault. The failure of your business model is also your problem, not theirs. It's up to you to develop a new model that doesn't involve your users being annoyed. Meanwhile, telling your users (essentially) that they're worthless if they don't directly generate ad revenue is misguided. Site visitors bring value to your website in other ways -- whether they block your advertisements or not -- through conversation, participation and links to your content. Of course none of that will happen if you treat them like escaped felons for simply discussing their browser plugins.

For decades, the real estate in the South Beach neighborhood of San Francisco had mainly consisted of warehouses, storage yards and dilapidated piers. Beginning in 1981, however, the City began to transform the area into a mixed-use development.
Now one of the ritziest neighborhoods in the City (South Beach is considered by some to be the new Nob Hill), this neighborhood is home to some of the most desirable and valued real estate, condominiums, live/work lofts, and interior design stores in San Francisco.
One of the most prominent features of South Beach is AT&T Park, home of the World Champion San Francisco Giants. The presence of this ballpark has enticed many new services and restaurants into the area, most notably chef Michael Mina's RN74, Ironside, and Tres.
Wine bars also abound, like Local Kitchen & Wine Merchant and District Wine Bar.
Since South Beach is a quick walk to the Ferry Building Marketplace, weekly shopping at the Farmer's Market is a must. On your way down the Embarcadero, check out Pat Kuleto's Waterbar and Epic Roasthouse. You'll be glad you did.
Over a century ago, the wealthiest merchants in the area lived in South Beach (their mansions rivaled those found in Pacific Heights today), which was founded by Englishman George Gordon in 1854. Now, it is a quaint oasis surrounded by cafes, restaurants, condominiums and lofts.
Rincon Hill, an area rich with history, has become a center of significant development and includes at least five hi-rise condominium buildings as well as mixed-use buildings on landscaped residential streets.
As San Francisco's newest, South Beach combines the best of everything — access, dining, shopping, entertainment, and luxurious living — into one ultra-cool, ultra-modern package.

It's a very moving story about the owner of this cache and the medical problems that he has been dealing with. Didn't know what should be done, so thought I would give all of you a heads up.

Paul Broun is on the House Science Committee
From time to time, we're reminded of the right's general hostility towards science. The assault tends to be all-encompassing – climate science, medical research, modern biology, sex ed – and my friend Chris Mooney even wrote a brilliant book about it, documenting the extent to which conservatives have targeted the scientific process itself.
That said, Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.), one of Congress' most far-right members, is taking Republican opposition to science to a more startling level.
For those who can't watch clips online, here's what Broun said when he spoke two weeks ago at the 2012 Sportsman's Banquet at Liberty Baptist Church in Hartwell, Ga.
"God's word is true. I've come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the big bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell. And it's lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior. You see, there are a lot of scientific data that I've found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I don't believe that the earth's but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in six days as we know them. That's what the Bible says."
For the record, Broun's religious beliefs are obviously his businesses, and if he chooses to believe cosmology, biology, and geology are, quite literally, "lies straight from the pit of Hell," that's between the congressman and his conscience.
But the larger, national significance to this is that Broun isn't just some private citizen who rejects science; he's a member of Congress who sits on the House Science Committee.
I don't care that Broun prefers ignorance to knowledge, and chooses to reject evidence and reason, but it should matter that a man who thinks the planet is 9,000 years old is helping shape science policy in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 21st century.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: More and More Dogs Getting High in Arizona with Marijuana Dispensaries [Video]
There's a growing problem since legal medical marijuana dispensaries opened in Arizona in 2012: dogs getting high.
Veterinarians say that the number of instances of dogs consuming marijuana has escalated greatly, KPHO CBS 5 reported.
One vet said that he has been treating about two dozen dogs each month due to careless pot smokers letting their pooches eat their weed.
Just in case you were wondering, the symptoms of a stoned dog are pretty similar to that of a human: they lay around, don't do much and eat Cheetos.

- Month Day
- August 09
Actress Sharon Tate found murdered
On this day in 1969, the 26-year-old actress Sharon Tate, the pregnant wife of acclaimed movie director Roman Polanski (Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown), is found murdered along with four other people at her Los Angeles home. The gruesome crime, in which the killers scrawled messages on the walls with the victims' blood, sent Hollywood into a state of panic. The career criminal and cult leader Charles Manson and his followers, who lived together on the outskirts of L.A. in a commune where drug use and orgies were common, were later convicted for the murders.
Sharon Marie Tate was born January 24, 1943, in Dallas, Texas. She moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s to pursue acting, eventually appearing in such films as Eye of the Devil (1966); The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967),which was directed by Polanski; Valley of the Dolls (1967), for which she received a Golden Globe nomination; The Wrecking Crew (1969) and The Thirteen Chairs (1969).
Tate and Polanski were married in January 1968. The director was out of the country on the night of August 8, 1969, when Tate, who was due to give birth in a matter of weeks, and her friends, including the coffee heiress Abigail Folger and the celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring, were shot or stabbed to death at Tate and Polanski's rented home on Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon. The Tate-Polanski home reportedly was chosen as a target because Manson had unsuccessfully attempted to get a recording deal from a producer who used to live there. Manson's subsequent trial became a national spectacle, during which he exhibited bizarre, violent behavior. He was convicted and given the death penalty, a sentence that was commuted to life behind bars when the California Supreme Court overturned the death penalty law in 1972. Since his trial, Manson became a criminal icon and the subject of numerous books and films, notably the bestselling 1974 true crime book Helter Skelter, co-authored by Vincent Bugliosi, the Los Angeles County assistant district attorney who successfully prosecuted Manson and his followers. Manson died in 2017.
In 1977, Polanski became embroiled in controversy after he pled guilty to engaging in unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl and later fled the United States to avoid a possible prison sentence. The director continued to make movies, but has not returned to America, where he could be arrested. At the 2002 Academy Awards, Polanski was awarded the Best Director Oscar in absentia for his Holocaust-era film The Pianist.

Andrey Ilyin: "The whole kingdom of new possibilities just absorbed me"
Published on 08/05/2013
We just told you some weeks ago that viewAt.org wants to know a little bit more about some of the photographers that are part of our community. To know about their photographic passion, their careers, their works… We opened the serie with Vil Muhametshin, and now we continue with Andrey Ilyin.
His first relation with panoramas started thanks to a software that was included in a package of CD's. He felt curiosity and then built his first panoramic head with a saw and some aluminium tubes. After that, he felt in love with panoramic photography.
Until now, Andrey has got 136 wonderful panoramas published on viewAt.org.
Since when do you start with photography?
Well, everything depends on the definition of 'start with photography' :)
It was present in my life from the very early years – my dad was an amateur photographer, nothing very serious, but we have had the full set of equipment necessary to make BW prints at home – from rangefinder camera Zorky-4 (a replica of early post-war Leica), few tanks for films processing, a red lamp, an enlarger and a dryer. It was unforgettable experience! I still remember the smell of the chemistry, the sense of mystery happening right in front of my eyes when blank paper got covered with faint spots turning into distinct images...
At the end of 90ties when everything was upside down in ex-USSR and I was trying to find some way to earn money, my love to photography that was planted during the childhood years just pushed me to photography as a business. I've bought my first 'serious' SLR – it was a Nikon N6006 – and dove into profession.
When and why did you incorporated panoramic photograph of your work?
It happened by pure chance. It happened in 2004. I've bought a second hand digital compact Canon G5 and discovered in the package a CD with various software, including some primitive panorama stitcher – don't remember it's name. No matter how limited it was, the opportunities provided by this new approach to the images processing just overwhelmed me. I was totally hooked! The whole kingdom of new possibilities just absorbed me. I pretty rapidly progressed from simple 3-4 shots panoramas to spherical panoramas, discovered few resources on the web with collections of great works... Made my first panoramic head with a saw and aluminum tubes, bought a fisheye... and can't stop since than :)
At the moment of falling in love with panoramic photography I had some experience in general photography – from events to portrait and interior photography. It helped me a lot to start fast. I was always keeping a high standard for quality, spending a lot of time and efforts to post process my panoramas as good as possible.
What do you think brings panoramic photography in the big picture?
Some things just can't be shown with the help of traditional media – I mean photographs and video. Sometimes you just need to see the scene as a whole, without the gaps and the editor's manipulation. Panoramas gets somewhere between video and the 'normal' photographs. And of course the spread of fast internet across the world helped a lot. It happened exactly at the moment of my discovery of panoramic photography – spherical panoramas blows the mind of a viewer being displayed full screen (of course under condition if the quality of panoramas is okay). Than goes the availability of the cross-platform viewers for spherical panoramas. Flash based viewers opened the doors wide for general public and for commercial applications. Google's Street view made panoramas even more common and I would say – awaited – by the general public.
Tell us about a panorama that has been particularly challenging for you in its creation.
Hmm... Probably the very first panorama was the hardest. I was burning with desire to produce a real spherical pano, put my hand on fisheye lens already but didn't have a panoramic head yet. So I grabbed a ski pole and put my camera with fisheye (Nikkor 10,5) on the top – trying to position the golden ring of the lens near pole's end while trying to keep a pole vertical. Made few shots in the living room with plenty of objects on the foreground and started the process of stitching. You can imagine how huge were the stitching errors! After few hours of editing in Photoshop I produced acceptable result :)
How you met viewAt.org?
It happened so long time ago – I can't even recall how it happened exactly! ViewAt was one of the first services of this kind - providing a platform for fast and effortless publishing of the spherical panoramas on the web. Such option is very important for beginner panoramic photographers who doesn't know anything even basics of html and stuff like this.
Current ViewAt has smooth interface and is more photography oriented than it's competitors. I always recommend it to other pano photographers who asks me about the easy way to share their works on the web.
What brings viewAt.org to your work?
I wouldn't say that ViewAt brings something to my work directly – my main customers are located nearby and found them using old fashioned 'by person' approach. But I regularly surf at ViewAt enjoying great panoramas from around the World. It is amazing how wide this relatively new technique got accommodated by the enthusiast photographers, how the quality got boosted. It is always good to be informed about the general level of standards to stay on the top.
Do you think that with viewAt Pro accounts gets your work easier when you publish your panoramas and you include all the new extra features?
As I mentioned already, my approach to the marketing of photography services relies on the personal contacts. Here in Moscow it gives me better results – richer clients, ready to pay more for high end work.
I have a basic account at ViewAt, it provides plenty of features for casual publishing of panoramas. Of course if I would offer my services globally or at least in the regions where ViewAt is popular in the audience matching to my potential client base, I would buy a Pro account with a heartbeat, it is very affordable and provides plenty of tools for creating of the virtual tours.

I've been going to KYC every year since I was five years old.
My first year was kind of scary because it was my first time being away from home, away from my parents, and on my own. But right away I met new friends, was having so much fun, and eating yummy food. The food is really good!
It was super fun being with friends doing fun activities like hiking, martial arts, archery, arts and crafts, and yoga. All the counselors are super nice. The counselors in my dorm were the nicest teachers I have had.
Camp encouraged me to do a meditation every night after I came home. I did SaTaNaMa's for 40 days and they gave me a t-shirt.
I can't wait to go again this year. I met some of my best friends at KYC.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A suspected U.S. drone strike killed an alleged militant in Pakistan's northwest tribal region, intelligence officials said Friday, the latest indication Washington has no intention of throttling back its unmanned aircraft attacks despite increasing tension with Pakistan over the attacks.
ISLAMABAD (AP) — A suspected U.S. drone strike killed an alleged militant in Pakistan's northwest tribal region, intelligence officials said Friday, the latest indication Washington has no intention of throttling back its unmanned aircraft attacks despite increasing tension with Pakistan over the attacks.
The overnight strike targeted a house in Qazi Kot village in the North Waziristan tribal area, said Pakistani intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. A suspected member of the Punjabi branch of the Pakistani Taliban was killed, they said.
The attack came a little over a day after a Pakistani political party revealed what it said was the name of the CIA's top spy in the country and called for him and the head of the agency to be tried for murder for a recent drone strike. The party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, has also been trying to block trucks carrying NATO troop supplies to and from neighboring Afghanistan to protest drone attacks.
Pakistan's federal government has also been critical of the strikes, calling them a violation of the country's sovereignty and saying they kill too many civilians. That has made the attacks widely unpopular among the Pakistani public. But the prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, has shown little interest in sparking a crisis with the U.S. over drones.
The issue is also clouded by the fact that Pakistan's government and military is known to have supported at least some of the strikes in the past, and suspicion lingers that some level of complicity continues — although Islamabad denies the allegation.
The U.S. rarely discusses the covert CIA drone program in Pakistan in public. But U.S. officials have made clear that Washington views the attacks as a vital tool to target al-Qaida and Taliban militants in Pakistan who are outside the reach of American soldiers.
The CIA has not confirmed whether the name revealed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Wednesday is actually the agency's station chief in Islamabad. It was the second time in recent years that Pakistanis opposed to drone strikes have claimed to reveal the identity of the top CIA spy in the country.
In December 2010, the CIA pulled its top spy out of Pakistan after a lawsuit accused him of killing civilians in drone strikes. The Pakistani lawsuit listed a name lawyers said was the station chief, but the AP learned at the time it was not correct. Nevertheless, the CIA pulled the station chief out of the country after militants threatened to kill him.
The drones have been a complicated issue for Pakistan's powerful army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, during the six years that he has led the force.
The army held an elaborate ceremony Friday marking the end of Kayani's time as chief and the elevation of his successor, Gen. Raheel Sharif. The culmination of the ceremony in the garrison city of Rawalpindi included Kayani handing over a wooden baton symbolizing the change of command.
The army is considered the most powerful institution in Pakistan, which has experienced three military coups, and Kayani has played a hugely influential role in the country.
However, unlike many of his predecessors, Kayani was publicly adamant that the army should not overtly interfere in politics. That stance allowed Pakistan to experience its first successful transition between democratically elected governments earlier this year — although the army has continued to play a powerful political role in the background, especially regarding policy toward the Afghan war and Pakistan's archenemy India.
Retired army officers have said they expect the new army chief will largely continue the policies of his predecessor.
Kayani was a critical figure for the U.S., which relies on Pakistan for support in battling Islamic militants and negotiating an end to the war in Afghanistan. The U.S. was initially heartened by Kayani's appointment as army chief in 2007 because of his stated desire to stay out of politics.
But the relationship between Kayani and his U.S. counterparts eventually deteriorated, especially following the covert American raid that killed Osama bin Laden near Pakistan's equivalent of West Point in 2011. Kayani and other officials were outraged by the operation because they were not told about it beforehand.
The relationship also faced constant strain because of U.S. allegations that Pakistan's army supported Afghan Taliban militants staging attacks against American troops in Afghanistan. Pakistan denied the allegations, but analysts widely believe the country has maintained its historical ties to the militants because it views them as potential allies in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw.
Kayani also faced a vicious insurgency by domestic Taliban militants that killed thousands of security personnel and civilians. The Afghan and Pakistani Taliban are allies, but have generally focused their attacks on opposite sides of the border.
Kayani launched scores of operations against the Pakistani Taliban in their sanctuaries in the northwest, but the attacks have continued. He refused U.S. demands to target their final sanctuary in North Waziristan, a move that analysts say was driven by his desire not to cross Afghan militants based there with whom the army had ties.
The government recently tried to jumpstart peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban, but the effort was torpedoed by a U.S drone strike at the beginning of November that killed the group's leader.

Late one rainy night... In 1981, R.C. Beall was sitting in an all night diner near Glacier Park having a cup of the worst coffee and pondering how to make a living in this incredible part of the world. Could roasting and selling a great cup of coffee be the answer? And so, armed with a small home roaster, Montana Coffee Traders was born. Texas Coffee Traders began in 1994.
It's the freshest coffee... From a restored old farmhouse we roast our beans fresh daily and send out orders each day to cities around the world. We begin taking orders early in the morning and we roast what we need for that day. By doing things this way, the customer is always guaranteed fresh roasted coffee.
Montana Coffee Traders is located in the Northwest corner of Montana, in the city of Whitefish, home of the Big Mountain Ski area, and gateway to Glacier Park. The working environment is unique: Coffee Traders practices a philosophy of worker empowerment where employees are allowed to create a work environment that provides room for individual growth.

Hitting the ice
While some folks try to avoid the extreme cold and heavy snowfall, others take it all in stride. Friends and family recently gathered at the Van Pelt Farm on Fairfield School Road in Columbiana for a pick-up game of ice hockey. Players have braved the ice and cold to get together for the friendly challenges since 1990. Many of the players use the games to fill the down time from their seasonal jobs, such as farming and construction, during the winter months. Above, Goalie Eldon Martin of Columbiana dives headfirst to stop the puck from entering the net. Morning Journal/Patti Schaeffer

There are 10 sections in the California Interscholastic Federation. More than 1,000 high schools compete in those sections. Exponentially more athletes walk the halls of those schools.
This past weekend, 560 of those athletes convened at Rabobank Arena for the State Wrestling Championships. Only 14 — one out of every 40 — were crowned state champions, one for each weight class.
"The odds," said Poway coach Wayne Branstetter, "aren't with you."
Branstetter's Titans finished second in the team competition behind Clovis — their fifth runner-up finish in school history — but for the third straight year, they, along with the rest of the San Diego Section, did not produce an individual champion. It also was the second consecutive year that the section did not place a wrestler in the finals.
This after San Diego had at least one champion annually from 1998 until 2010. La Costa Canyon's Bryan Grubbs, the section's last state champion, won the 119-pound title three years ago.
So what gives?
"I think it's just coincidental," said Branstetter, who in 35 seasons at Poway has seen his wrestlers advance to 30 finals and come away with 12 championships.
"To get the No. 1 guy, a lot of things have to fall in place. Our section, I think we're getting tougher. It's strong in the Central Section because they start wrestling so young."
Considering the ratio of medalists to total wrestlers, the San Diego Section appears already to rank among the state's toughest, even despite the recent dearth of championships.
The section brought 42 wrestlers, three for each weight class, to the state tournament. Saturday, 10 of them — roughly a quarter — ascended the podium for placing in the top eight of their respective classes.
That percentage compares favorably to those of the highly competitive and far more populous Southern and Central sections, which each entered nine wrestlers per weight class. The Southern Section finished with 33 medalists, while the Central Section had 29.
Still, those schools boasted the rare medal that has been missing of late among San Diego wrestlers. The Central Section had five gold medals, the most of any section. The Southern and Sac-Joaquin sections were next with three apiece.
Several San Diego competitors did come close to an opportunity at ending the area's drought — in each case, agonizingly so.
Brawley junior Vinny Elizalde was cruising through the 106-pound division's opening rounds Friday until he held a four-point lead entering the final period of his quarterfinal with Central's Adrian Camposano.
Elizalde would lose by a point. He found little consolation in winning Saturday's consolation final.
"There were 20 seconds left and he caught me," Elizalde said of Camposano, who went on to win the championship final. "I didn't want to get called for stalling, so I kept attacking and he caught me with the cradle when I was attacking."
Like Elizalde, Poway senior Victor Lopez won his final match of the season to finish in third place, but struggled to contain his disappointment. The three-time state placer had been considered by some the favorite to win the 145-pound championship. He led for much of a match with Santiago's Christian Pagdilao in the semifinals before Pagdilao, the eventual state champion, scored a tie-breaking takedown in the bout's waning moments.
"My freshman year I was ranked fifth," Lopez said. "There was a lot of pressure off my shoulders. This time, with all the pressure of being ranked one in the state, I don't know ... I didn't wrestle the same."
Central Union senior Micah Perez also completed his high school career with three state medals. After finishing third as a freshman and a junior, he had to settle for seventh at 120 pounds. His own championship dreams dashed, Perez hopes to see San Diego's dry spell end at next year's state tournament.
"Everyone always underestimates us," he said. "San Diego just needs to push themselves out there toward the Central Section to get that visual on everyone. You go up there, you train hard and you go show everyone at their tournaments.
"A lot of schools just want to stay in the section, but it's not about the section wrestling. It's about the whole state."

With Frozen Hearth Immanitas Entertainment is looking to shake up the world of strategy games later on this year. With an enticing storyline set in an original Dark Fantasy world, the game combines fast-paced RTS action reminiscent of League of Legends with RPG elements, allowing players to improve and customise their characters. Players take control of a hero of the bellicose Danaan peoples and jump right into the action. The Danaan homelands are being threatened by strange ice demons who are transforming everything into an ice desert. Being confronted by such an overwhelming enemy force the Danaan's only hope of survival is flight. Using their tactical cunning players must build and command their forces, train heroes and use dozens of skills, spells and items. The game is split into 3 Acts with 18 varied missions which can also be played co-operatively with other players. Beyond the story experience strategy fans will also be able to jump into frantic and epic multiplayer battles.

A graduate of the north Londoners' academy, the 22-year-old was particularly proud to this weekend help the Gunners secure a first trophy in nine years.
Wilshere came on in the second half of extra time with the score level and his late introduction alongside Tomas Rosicky gave Arsenal fresh impetus.
Aaron Ramsey soon struck to make it 3-2 and complete a remarkable turnaround against Hull - who went two up inside eight minutes - at a packed Wembley.
"The way we did it makes it that bit sweeter," Wilshere said
"It was horrible the first 10 minutes, I felt sick
It was horrible watching the boys lose.
"I knew if we got that goal in the first half we could go on and win the game.
"We knew in the second half we would be in control of the game
We just needed to keep it tight at the back and be patient.
"It was quite lucky that we got that goal [from Laurent Koscielny] but when me and Tomas came on with 15 minutes to go, we were fresh and in the end you could see we were going to win the game."
The relief at ending Arsenal's nine-year wait for trophy was clear by the celebrations at the final whistle and the scenes that greeted the players as they paraded the trophy through north London on Sunday.
Wilshere got a bit carried away by goading rivals Tottenham by reciting a popular expletive-ridden chant, but will have only harnessed his reputation with the fans he loves.
"We had to get that trophy," he said
"There was no point not showing our character.
"We got the trophy - that's the main thing
We worked hard for nine years
Most of all it's for the fans
They come and support us every week and they make our European nights very special
We paid them back today with the trophy."
There will be little time for Wilshere to rest on his laurels as this week he jets off to Portugal, where England are hosting a warm-weather training camp.
The midfielder only recently returned from breaking a bone in his foot and has not started a match since England's 1-0 friendly win against Denmark on March 5, yet he believes he will be fully fit for the World Cup.
"I have been training now for three weeks," Wilshere said
"I haven't been in the squad because we agreed with the manager that it was right that I got a good base for fitness.
"So I have been in the last two squads and played about 45 minutes I suppose altogether, but I feel fresh and a good week in Portugal will do me good.
"I am feeling [sharp]
I am going to enjoy the celebrations and then my head goes onto England.
"That is my first feeling of winning something and there's no better feeling, so hopefully we can do something with England."
Wilshere is joined in the 23-man squad by Arsenal team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, although he was unable to shift a niggling groin injury to feature in the FA Cup final.
That has heightened concerns over his fitness for this summer's tournament, but Wilshere was quick to dispel them.
"Chambo? Yeah, he is all right," he said
"I think he was a bit upset not to be involved but he has only been training for two days.
"But, again, I think a week of training in Portugal will do him well
He'll be out there."

I just got back from seeing it and I loved it. Sure its not historically accurate but its a movie and and an extremely entertaining. I plan on seeing it again in theatres.
Lord Nev wrote:Uuuuummmmm....they fight. They are betrayed. They lose but kick the spit out of the Persians. And bought time for all the other Greeks to assemble their armies and stop Xerxes in his tracks. What can people possibly do to mess up that simple happening?
The Blue Knight wrote:Just off shore from the battle at Thermopylae, Themistocles was holding the Persian navy at bay, and even inflicting losses. The Battle of the Artemnesium Straight is the forgotten chapter of the war. Themistocles usually gets short shift in these epics. Is he in this movie?
Nev, you make a great point, what could go wrong wink, wink, wink? Frank Miller isn't alone in over-dramatising the battle. Are the Spartans alone making the last stand in the movie? They were originally a small unit in a 7,000 strong hoplite army. After Leonidas sends the bulk of the army back, 700 hoplites from the city-state of Thespyae stayed with them. So it was really 1000.

Every Chair in This Temporary Orchestra Holds a Story
By DANIEL J. WAKIN
Published: July 13, 2012
(This is a re-posting of an article written by New York Times reporter Daniel J. Wakin, who took part in our 2o12 BSO Academy program as a clarinetist. The views expressed by Wakin are not necessarily the same as those held by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. To view the article on the New York Times website, please visit: NYTimes.com. Enjoy!)
BALTIMORE — The judge's assistant who practices her viola in a courthouse jury room. The retired neurosurgeon who once flew surveillance flights for the United States Navy and who took up the clarinet at 63. The accountant who began oboe lessons to connect with her severely disabled daughter.
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra brought together these musicians and others — a total of 104 amateurs of startling variety — last month for a weeklong fantasy camp of lessons, rehearsals, master classes and, finally, a concert at Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall.
It was a musically enthusiastic, even obsessive, bunch. Most spend countless hours a week practicing and playing in wind bands or community orchestras or chamber groups, in many cases more than one. It's an older group. Many returned to music with fervor in retirement or in homes recently emptied of growing children. For some, music-making is the backbone of their social ties or an escape from the pressures of work.

"It's these kinds of people who guarantee the interest in classical music," said Andrew Balio, the orchestra's principal trumpeter. "They do everything in life well," he said. It's also these kinds of people, the Baltimore Symphony hopes, who will buy more tickets and make more donations.
Among the participants in what the symphony calls the BSO Academy were Deborah Edge of Washington, a double-bassist and retired internist who works part time for an organization that helps the homeless. She stopped playing in college, then resumed in 1986, after a 20-year lapse.
Jane Hughes, an oboist who works for General Dynamics, and her husband, William Jokela, a bassoonist and former United States Army chaplain, of Annandale, Va., met in a community band, play in a trio and came to the academy for the first time last year to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. "This is our social life," Mr. Jokela said.
William G. Young, an actuary from Norwalk, Conn., who practices clarinet an hour every evening, arranged to be in a chamber group with his brother-in-law, Harry Kaplan, a bassoonist and internist from Towson, Md. A half-dozen enthusiastic members of their family descended on Baltimore to hear them perform.
Matthew DeBeal of Laurel, Md., 25, one of the youngest players, spent his Saturdays as a youth studying violin at the preparatory division of the Peabody Institute, Baltimore's conservatory, and now teaches string playing to middle schoolers in Howard County, Md. Mr. DeBeal, one of the more accomplished musicians among the participants, played solos in the academy's final concert, on June 30.

Ann Marie Cordial took up the viola just three and a half years ago. A judge's assistant at the Baltimore County Circuit Court, she practices in a jury room across a corridor from a cell.
"That's part of your sentence," she said. "You have to listen to me practice." Her playing, she said, once helped bring a halt to a brawl that involved sheriff's deputies and a defendant just sentenced to life in prison.
The retired neurosurgeon and cold-war-era Navy pilot, Edward Layne, 78, of Cockeysville, Md., took up the clarinet 15 years ago. He called his first moments on the stage at last year's academy "one of the signal minutes" of his life.
"I looked around, and I couldn't believe I was sitting there," he said.
Barbara Bowen, an accountant from Reisterstown, Md., plays oboe in three community orchestras. She started the instrument at 10, played through college, then took a 22-year break.
"The reason I went back into music was the connection it gave with my daughter," who has multiple disabilities, Ms. Bowen said. "If I could change my career tomorrow, I would be a music therapist."
For many of the first-time participants, the unusually demanding repertory, the high skill level of some fellow campers and the unforgiving standards of a professional orchestra came as a bit of a shock. Gradually, over the course of the week, confidence grew. Technique sharpened. Coherent musical lines emerged.
The reality of it struck on Monday, June 25, when the campers gathered by instrument in rooms at the Baltimore School for the Arts for the first rehearsal before the Saturday concert, which featured works by Tchaikovsky, Elgar and Falla.
"I couldn't get a proper note," said Dianne Cooperman, 65, of Rockville, Md., an information technology consultant for federal agencies and a self-taught French horn player. "Everything sounded generally out of tune. I was a mess. I didn't want to play anymore."
Ms. Cooperman faced the extra challenge of a tremor from Parkinson's disease, which causes her knee to shake. Horn players generally rest the instrument on the right thigh. Because of the tremor, Ms. Cooperman had to use an extra chair to support the instrument.
The next day's master class, in which the members of the section were to play for the orchestra's principal horn player, Philip Munds, did not go much better for her.

"It sounded like somebody was dying," she said. "The more it came out bad, the more nervous I got." Mr. Munds set her mind at ease and imparted a tip about hand position that brought immediate improvement.
As the week went on, Ms. Cooperman's confidence improved. She timed her medicines better, so they took maximum effect at rehearsals. Her performance went up a notch. On Saturday afternoon she took a long nap before the concert, then went over her parts mentally without playing them on her horn.
Days later, she wrote about the experience in an e-mail: "I told myself: 'I am incredibly lucky! Who else gets to attend five first-rate concerts in a row while sitting in the midst of the orchestra?' All tremors, jitters and self-doubt were banished with that one realization."
"And the good news is," she added, "I definitely played all three pieces, especially the Falla, the best I had played them by far! I left no footprints as I walked off the stage that night. I was floating three feet off the floor."

Use the search box below if you know your specific event, or browse displays with the menu up top!
Please remember that I make as much effort as I can to ensure that the information contained on this site is accurate, but it is a hobby site, and I don't always get official notification of these events (and sometimes they change several times!) You'll want to make sure you call the phone number or visit the website and confirm before making any concrete plans.
If you find incorrect information here, please hit the contact form and I'll be happy to fix it.
Your Community Needs Your Help!
If your area isn't holding a display this year, check for a neighboring community. And if it's at all possible, please donate, or volunteer to help out. Every year I find a few more communities who discontinue their fireworks displays because of the cost / mess / logistics involved in holding them. Don't let the community fireworks displays go the way of the drive in movie theatre!
I Need Your Help!
Over the years this has become something of a massive project (specially with seven sites total) and I need help getting the latest information on upcoming fireworks displays! If you know of one in your area, or if you're responsible for putting one on, or you have better details on one than I have, I am begging, pleading, asking you to use the submit form, or drop me a line – via my contact form, on the Facebook page or on Twitter. I am determined to make this biggest and most comprehensive list of fireworks displays anywhere, but… Pennsylvania is a ginormous state, and I'm sure I don't have as many displays as I know there are, so I need all the help I can get. Thanks in advance!
Note to communities, convention and visitors bureaus and anyone else who puts on a fireworks show or posts events: people are already searching for your events! Please let me know if you're updating for this year, or if you update your website, I'll find it. You'd be amazed how many people start planning their summer vacations in January!

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the turkey population is safe for another year.
Trees are now up or going up in most South Walton neighborhoods. I had the fun of helping a friend decorate last weekend, and it appears lots of folks are well on their way into the holiday spirit.
Ladie Bea and Wayne Carlisle opened their fabulous newly built home on 30A for its christening as the site of 30A's annual "orphan's Thanksgiving." Ladie Bea and Wayne started opening their home about 10 years ago to anyone who didn't have family in the area and no place to go for Thanksgiving. The tradition had to be canceled over the past few years in the wake of a fire. Around 30 friends showed up this Thanksgiving to celebrate the occasion, including Dan Mueller, Sally and David Smith, Paul and Sandy Luchtefeld, Georgeen Newell and Ken Golden, William Schissler, Tom and Dana Saffel, Eric Saffel, Mary Elsberry, Paul and Bett Appel, Harriet Crommelin and Stephen Marlette, Kim and Keen Polakoff, Joe Serrato, Betty Ryals, Barbara Pierce-Smith, John Stasko and myself. After a scrumptious potluck dinner, all sang "happy birthday" to Wayne.
Down the road a bit, Ed and Donna Macdonald hosted a neighborhood "orphan's Thanksgiving" for those in their neighborhood with nowhere to go.
My son and his fianc� paid their holiday visit to me earlier in the week before heading back to New York, with a stop in Birmingham. I enjoyed cooking for them and playing our traditional game of Trivial Pursuit. The next time I see him, he will be getting married.

Police in Kenora, Ont., have arrested the man sought in Calgary after a shooting in Tuscany early Sunday.
Calgary police said the suspect, 51-year-old Ulises Boris Quinteros, was arrested early Monday in the Ontario city, nearly 1,400 kilometres east of Calgary.
On Sunday, police were called to the 100 block of Tuscany Springs Hill at around 4 a.m. where they found a woman in her 40s, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
The woman was involved in a car crash and shot, said Insp. Mike Tillotson.
Police have not recovered a weapon, but did locate a vehicle involved in the collision at an address in Nolan Hill. Debris from the crash lined Tuscany Springs Hill and 12 Mile Coulee Road on Sunday.
The victim and suspect know each other, though police are still determining the nature of their relationship. Both have a history with police.
"We're still trying to piece together the events leading up to that collision," said Tillotson.
The victim has provided "very valuable information" to police, he added.
