Carmack attacks "snooty attitude" towards mainstream shooters

John Carmack

id founder John Carmack has been talking to Industry Gamers about the success of mainstream shooters like Call of Duty. He defends the series, saying "As long as people are buying it, it means they're enjoying it," and criticises the "snooty attitude" of indie developers who criticise the lack of innovation in the military squad shooter format. "It's almost as if it's popular, it's not good. And that's just not true," he says.

"If they buy the next Call of Duty, it's because they loved the last one and they want more of it," adds Carmack. "So I am pretty down on people who take the sort of creative auteurs' perspective. It's like 'Oh, we're not being creative.' But we're creating value for people - that's our job! It's not to do something that nobody's ever seen before. It's to do something that people love so much they're willing to give us money for."

"So I do get pretty down on people that - you see some of the indie developers that really take a snooty attitude about this."

id are currently putting the finishing touches on their open world shooter, Rage, which is not a squad military shooter. "I'm actually happy Rage is a little bit different in terms of feeling and tone," says Carmack. "It's not just, 'Here's your squad mates.' But that's still a proven formula that people like, and it's a mistake to [discount that]. As long as people are buying it, it means they're enjoying it."

Rage is due out on October 7. At E3, Carmack told us why it will run better on PC , and explained why the PC is the future of gaming, saying that they're now " an order of magnitude " beyond consoles.

How Team Fortress influenced Guild Wars 2's class system

Guild Wars 2 Asura Thief

If you've played an MMO since EverQuest, you'll be familiar with the idea of the 'holy trinity' of healer, tank, and damage classes. It's an old and tested system, and one that is popular because it allows people to shine in particular roles. Players known to be reliable healers or tanks are worth their weight in gold to guilds looking to take on the hardest bosses.

Guild Wars 2 rejects the trinity outright, opting instead for a system where every class can fill every role - they just do it differently, and the emphasis is on responding to changing circumstances rather than locking down a particular plan in advance. While at ArenaNet last week I asked game designers Ben Miller and Jon Peters whether ditching the trinity threatened a player's sense of identity.

“I'm the anti-healer person” Peters told me. “I don't hate that people like to play support roles, it's just that I want that role to be fun. I don't think there's any teamwork - what there is is just dependency.”

He drew parallels between the trinity and the way a game studio operates. “If we worked that way, we would never make a game that I enjoyed playing. I would just say 'make me my effects', and [the art team] would say "ok, here's what you've got."

“We build on it, that's what that teamwork is about, and that's the same thing the Guild Wars 2 combat is about, right? It's about organic teamwork and building stuff together.”

It's clearly a topic that the design team are passionate about. “I just detest dependency and the lack of teamwork it creates,” Peters continued. “It seems awfully silly to get people to play together and then not have them interact other than to say 'are you doing your job?', 'Yes, I'm doing it.'”

The key to redesigning MMO classes, Peters argues, is looking outside the genre - at shooters. “No-one would tell you that everyone in Team Fortress just does damage,” he says. “No-one would say a Spy and a Heavy are the same because they both do damage - they're very different playstyles. They have a very good sense of purpose.”

In Guild Wars 2, what a character contributes to a party is based on their choice of weapons and abilities as well as the skill level of the player. “I'm going to be a rifle turret engineer" Peters explains, "and my sense of purpose is that [in PvP] I take capture points and I hold them. In dungeons I'm the guy who says, 'fall back to me when we're in trouble, and I'll blow my turrets up and we'll scatter.'" You develop that sense [of identity] with a playstyle rather than with a role."

Razer: PC gaming is not dead. It's... portable?

razer blade gaming laptop 10

Very very shiny. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical about Razer's viral marketing site, www.pcgamingisnotdead.com, but it turns out to have been worth hanging around for on this Friday afternoon before the bank holiday.

The big announcement is the Razer Blade, which is being billed as the “world's first gaming laptop”. I imagine Alienware, ASUS, MSI, and Dell might have something to day about that, but there you go.

The Blade, though, does look very nice. It has a 17inch screen, but is just two and a quarter centimetres deep, which earns it the right to the name at least. That makes it thinner than an equivalent MacBook Pro, although it's fractionally heavier at 3.2kg.

Inside, there's a 2.8GHz Core i7 processor with 8GB RAM and a 320GB hard drive. The graphics card is a bit disappointing – the NVIDIA GeForce GT555M it sports is OK, but may struggle to doi justice at the 1920x1080 resolution of the screen.

The really interesting bit, though, is that it lifts the 'Switchblade user interface' lock and stock, so the keypad on the right hand side is replaced with a multitouch LCD panel and 10 'adaptive'.

Curiously, this makes Razer the only other producer of PCs other than Dell based outside of Asia now that HP is leaving the market. The Blade will cost $2799.99 and go on sale late autumn by the looks of it. You can find out more at the Blade's official site .

Nintendo today unveiled a strange new controller during its E3 press conference. According to the company, the Wii Vitality Sensor device is something of a spiritual successor to the popular Brain Age and Wii Fit games.

The device, which sits on the player's finger, attempt to "visualize something else that is otherwise invisible," such as excitement and nervousness. According to Nintendo, "It will initially sense the user's pulse and a number of other signals being transmitted by their bodies, and will then provide information to the users about the body's inner world." No more details on the device were given.

Politicians Criticize High School Taxes

Staff Reports

It seems the only issue many Putnam politicians can agree upon is that school taxes are too high. Not only are many candidates for election this November in accord on this topic, but nearly every town supervisor within Putnam County has blamed high taxes on local schools.

On September 7, during the Republican primary debate hosted by the PCN&R at the Villa Barone, the candidates for county executive, Senator Vincent Leibell and Mary Ellen Odell, spoke of the need for school tax reform.

“It took me about three days to get the courage to open up that school tax bill,” said Odell, who lost in last week’s Republican primary to Leibell but who is running in the general election on the Independence Party line. “School tax reform in Putnam is the most paramount thing to reducing taxes in this county,” she said.

Leibell agreed with his opponent and added, “If you can have Joe Klein, the chancellor of the New York City education department, responsible for that massive district, that school district of New York City, and we have nine districts, I believe, servicing Putnam County, we can’t go on like that.”

Similarly, town supervisors Robert Tendy of Putnam Valley, Michael Griffin of Patterson, Michael Rights of Southeast, and Kenneth Schmitt of Carmel all said school taxes are one of the biggest problems facing Putnam.

“I think funding schools through property taxes is wrong,” said Philipstown supervisor Richard Shea. “It just seems that in this state, for some reason, school taxes are much higher than they are in other states. Why that is, I don’t know. But the other side of the coin is that it costs money to educate students.”

In addition, Shea said that every tax dollar needs to be looked at—not just the biggest portion of the bill.

But Michael Kaplowtiz, Democratic candidate for the 40th district state senate seat, said his concern is teacher benefits. “The pension and heathcare benefits that attend to the salaries and the cumulative effect of the unfunded mandates that require that schools do certain things without the dollars to make them happen,” are the biggest problem, Kaplowitz said. He added that property tax can no longer be the sole basis for school tax assessment.

Kaplowitz held a press conference on Tuesday regarding his plan to “lower the county property tax burden by 35 percent,” with a focus on cutting school taxes.

The Haldane School District’s 2010-2010 budget is $21,462,350, showing a $773,623 increase from the previous year—of these funds, $10,577,373.00 are designated to contract salaries.

Haldane Superintendant Dr. Mark Villanti acknowledged that “this is a tough season for anyone to defend taxes except from the point of view that your taxes pay for your public schools and public schools are the backbone of the country— they are and they always will be,” he said.

Villanti said the concern over school taxes in Putnam isn’t something that happened overnight. “Historically if you look at teacher salaries … in the ‘70s there was a feeling that teachers were being underpaid and there were programs that really helped raise the salary levels for teachers. I think we’ve really come to a point in the last few years where I think that what’s disturbed some people in the public is the rate of increase.”

Regarding the teacher pay scale, based primarily on seniority, Villanti said he doesn’t think change will come to the way teachers negotiate their collective bargaining agreements. “Step increases are built in most school districts as collective bargain agreements. It’s very difficult to reverse years of bargaining … their [teachers] profession is different from other professions. It’s not just at local districts.”

In a countywide survey conducted by Kieran Mahoney on behalf of the PCN&R of 300 registered voters, 70.7 percent of Putnam residents said they are unwilling to pay higher school taxes. At the same time, 72 percent of those polled had a positive view of Putnam schools; still, only 23.7 percent deemed the schools “excellent” and 60 percent said that major reforms are needed. The margin of error was +/- 5.65 percent.

Seagate Backup Plus Slim External USB 3.0 2TB Hard Drive Review

Sony shrinks PlayStation 2 - PCstats.com Sony shrinks PlayStation 2
Tue, September 21 2004 | 12:23PM | PermaLink Feedback?
The best-selling PlayStation 2 games console has been given a makeover, with a new slimmed-down, lightweight model due to go on sale in November. The new PS2 is about half the size of the existing model and will sell for the same price of 149 euros (£99). Sony has launched it in an attempt to widen the console's appeal and prolong its shelf-life. Sales of the original PlayStation were boosted when Sony introduced a smaller version, dubbed the PSOne. But traditionally console sales start to slip after they have been around for a few years and the PS2 is no exception. Sony Computer aims to sell 14m PS2s in the year to March 2005, down from the peak sales of 22.52m units sold in 2003. Sony is expected to unveil its next generation PlayStation at the annual E3 video games trade show in Los Angeles in May 2005.

iPhone App Helps You Find That Lost iPhone

Apple introduced on Friday a free iPhone and iPad app that lets you locate a lost or stolen iPhone, at a cost -- you will need to have an Apple MobileMe subscription that runs at $99 per year.

Called Find My iPhone, the Apple app works with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices, and can locate any of these using the built-in GPS chips, or Wi-Fi (in the case of the iPod Touch).

Find My iPhone is actually the app version of the same service Apple offers to current MobileMe subscribers via a Web browser. The app can be downloaded for free from the App Store, and can be used from a different Apple mobile device when you lose yours. The browser-based version is still available at the MobileMe website.

The app produces a map with the exact location of the lost or stolen iPhone, and you can lock it remotely with a passcode. You can also wipe the missing iPhone remotely, or display a message (with sound) on the device's screen with information on how to return it.

There is no need to install additional software on an iPhone in order to be able to locate it with Find My iPhone when misplaced. You just need a MobileMe account configured on the lost phone, with the feature enabled from the Settings menu.

But this has a drawback as well, as you have to switch on the Push setting for your MobileMe account (which consumes more battery) in order to take advantage of Find My iPhone.

The new iPhone app comes as part of a revamped MobileMe service offering from Apple, which was introduced on Friday as well. MobileMe is a Web-based service that wirelessly syncs e-mail, contacts, and calendar events between iPhones, iPads, Macs, and PCs. It also offers 20GB remote storage on Apple's servers, which is shared with your e-mail inbox.

There are really no viable alternatives to the Find My iPhone service and app from Apple. Several apps in the App Store claim to have similar functionality, but they are very limited in what they can do (a thief has to open an app that would identify the phone's location and send it to you) or they require a jailbroken iPhone.

As for cheaper alternatives to MobileMe itself, you can always replace it with Google alternatives (Gmail for e-mail, Google Calendar for calendar syncing, and Dropbox for remote storage), but you will lack the integration of these apps (which Apple is charging $99 per year) and the Find My iPhone feature.

Lawyers for Oracle and Google tussle over Android profits

The judge hearing the case told the court that Google lost money on Android throughout 2010

Lawyers for Oracle and Google tussled before the judge Thursday over how much money Google made from Android, a question that will affect how much Google pays in damages if the jury hearing the intellectual property case decides against it.

Google produced a spreadsheet for Oracle in the lead up to the trial that was supposed to show its profit and loss figures for Android. But the judge hearing the case said Thursday that he was concerned that the document was put together specifically for the trial and that the numbers weren't used by Google in its normal course of business.

Judge William Alsup didn't actually accuse Google of making up the numbers, but he was clearly frustrated that Google's lawyers couldn't testify to the spreadsheet's precise origin. "It wouldn't be the first time something had been jimmied up for litigation," the judge said sternly.

He gave Google until Monday to produce the original documents used to calculate the figures and said that Google's accounting manager for Android would have to give another deposition next week.

Google doesn't reveal how much it makes for Android and the spreadsheet in the trial hasn't been made public. But the judge read a few numbers from it in court, including that Google made $97 million in Android revenue in the first quarter of 2010. He also noted that Google lost money on Android every quarter in 2010, but that it started to report "small profits" from the second half of 2011.

Oracle accuses Google of infringing its Java patents and copyrights in the Android OS. The jury is currently deliberating on the copyright phase of the trial and could render a verdict any time. The second phase of the trial will consider the claims about patent infringement, with a possible third phase related to how much Google should pay in damages if it is found guilty.

While the jury continues its deliberations, Thursday's hearing was about a motion by Oracle, which complained that the Android figures Google has provided aren't reliable enough to be used to calculate damages.

The biggest portion of Oracle's damages claim is for so-called "disgorgement of profits," or the amount of money Google made from Android allegedly thanks to Oracle's intellectual property.

Oracle says Google has made $800 million from Android, mostly from advertising. But Google is allowed to deduct Android-related costs from that figure, mostly related to engineering.

The spreadsheet at issue Thursday lists some of those costs, but Oracle said they are vague and might not be accurate. It said it is unclear if some of the expenses are directly related to Android, for example.

"We're talking about huge numbers here," the judge said at one point. "If the jury finds liability, $600 million can turn on whether these numbers are any good, and no one seems to know much about the pedigree of this thing."

It's not clear where he got the figure of $600 million from, but it may be a rough calculation based on Oracle's disgorgement of profits claim, less Google's Android-related expenses.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.

Anthony Grifoni

For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.

Steph Mundell

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.

Andrew Mitsi

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

Simon Harriott

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

RIVERSIDE: Vehicle tampering leads to retaliation at supermarket

RIVERSIDE: Vehicle tampering leads to retaliation at supermarket

A vehicle tampering incident in a La Sierra grocery store parking lot triggered a pepper spray attack on the suspect and a non-life threatening stab wound to the person whose car was tampered with, according to police.

Riverside police received a radio report of an unknown trouble call at 5:12 p.m. Saturday, March 7, in the 3800 block of La Sierra Avenue, according to police Lt. Skip Showalter.

Members of the car tampering victim's family chased the suspect into the Vons supermarket and confronted him. Ultimately, the suspect ran out of the store, encountered the vehicle victim and stabbed him with an unknown object, Showalter said.

The victim was treated for his injuries at nearby Kaiser Permanente Riverside Medical Center.

Hello everyone,

as some of you know, i come from germany, so this FuturamaPedia is not an english one!  wink

But anyway, i know that some users are also germans, so i decided to promote the page here and to invite them to take part.

FuturamaPedia is still at the beginning so it's also a bit empty. But i hope that this project grows with the time.

To register you have to send an e-mail to support@futuramapedia.net and tell us your wish-username.

i would also appreciate it, if someone would post his opinion about this project/design, etc...

Frostbite Kickoff, Rigging Day and Clinic postponed
While our efforts paid off keeping damage to a minimum, we still experienced record wind and tides. The Club is closed while we dig out. Additional boats on the docks will hinder efforts to get the club back in working order.. The crew has a lot of repairs to perform around the club and on the floats. The North End wooden floats were slightly damaged at the junctions from wave action in the hurricane. These need to be repaired before the Frostbite Dyers can take their positions for the season. In addition, the club Dyers still need assembly and there are many other items that need to be addressed to ensure the preservation of facilities and safety of all the members. It will take approximately a week to make sure all is back in safe working order before starting the frostbite season and having clinics. Please check this site and the club calendar for updates.

Re: Maintainable Code?

in reply to Maintainable Code?

This is a place where coding conventions can come in handy. You (or someone) sets down what techniques and structures are generally acceptable, which aren't, and (by omission) where the grey areas are. Someone should take a look at the tasks generally done, as well as the skill and clue levels of the average programmer in the environment, and set out what's considered appropriate and inappropriate, and where that's true.

This'll differ from place to place. You may find that Inline::C code is just fine in mainline programs, others may consider it OK in libraries, and still others may decide not to use it at all. The same for fancy data structures, or closures, or threads, or forking servers with SysV IPC and memory sharing.

Re: Re: Maintainable Code?
by Anonymous Monk on Nov 11, 2002 at 19:58 UTC

    Maintainability doesn't exist in isolation. It comes from interactions between programmer and code. Advanced coding techniques are powerful. Programmers cannot understand everything. The two need to meet in the middle somewhere, and the purpose of coding standards is to agree on where that some should be.

[259] Lord Mahon did this without the least suggestion of mine, from being pleased with your book, but I was, of course, glad to add my name to the recommendation. You will receive the diploma in time.

I was much interested by your letter of September 25, which I took the liberty of showing to Dr. Holland and Lord Lansdowne. . . . . I hope that peace may continue all over the world, and indeed there seems no great cause for alarm at present Without the nonsense of a Peace Society, a change is coming over the spirits of men, and it is more and more felt that war is not to be undertaken for frivolous punctilios or unimportant interests. . . . .

Believe me, my dear sir,

Very truly yours,

A few months later Mr. Ticknor writes as follows:—

To Don P. De Gayangos.

Boston, October 14, 1850.
My dear Don Pascual,—I wrote you last on the 19th of August, since which I have not heard from you directly; but I know that the copies of my History which I sent to Mr. Barringer and to Don Adolfo de Castro, through your kindness, have safely reached their destination. Don Adolfo writes to me very agreeably about my book, but says he shall answer what I have said about the Buscapie.

Young Prescott has returned lately, and brought me the fine copies of ‘Ayllon's Cid,’ 1579, and of the ‘Toledana Discreta,’ 1604, which you intrusted to his care. His father came at the same time, and both of them are quite well, and much gratified by the kindness they everywhere received in Europe . . . .

I continue to receive much better accounts of my book from Europe than I can think it deserves. . . . . You will, I suppose, have had Ford's review in the ‘London Quarterly’ for October, and that of Rossieuw de St. Hilaire in the ‘Revue des Deux Mondes’ at

A New among the Yankees in Salisbury.

A correspondent writing from Salisbury, on Friday last, to the Raleigh Standard, says:

‘ I understand that one of the Federal prisoners, confined in the prison at this place, was hung by his comrades night before last for using strong anti-Lincoln doctrine — that he intended to remain in the South when released, and battle for its institutions, instead of being under the dominion of Lincoln & Co.--he was rescued from death by the timely interference of some of the guard, who heard his supplications, &c.

Help w/ Cat nursing Dog

May 15th, 2009, 11:57 AM
I have a problem I could use some help with. The mother of the cat below disappeared a few months ago. We don't know what happened to he, but we suspect coyotes got her. We live in a rural area in central Texas, and they nab small cats, and dogs upon occasion.

My problem is since the mother cat disappeared my lab has taken up nursing the cat. It was not a problem at first, but now I want to breed my lab, and she will not go inot to her heat cycle while nursing this cat. The cat is 7 months old now, and she does not need to be nursing. Both are outside pets, and neither will stay inside......Boarding is not an option for either on .....too expensive!!.....I tried to wrap a t-shirt so the cat could not access the milk, but that did not work.......Like I said live in Texas and it is already up into the mid 90's, and a t-shirt on a black lab would be cruel.......any suggestions would be appreciated...Thank you in advance

May 15th, 2009, 04:21 PM
:eek: Your dog is nursing and you are wanting to breed her again right away? :eek:

Please read the following thread and ALL the website links that are provided .....

May 15th, 2009, 04:25 PM
Personally, this is an interesting bond they have going....and maybe you should just them them be...not sure, but I think that's what I'd do after asking a vet if this is a problem.

You should also know that we are a very pro and spay neuter forum, and so I'm taking the liberty of speaking for the majority on this would be best not to breed your dog and have her spayed. I know this is not what you were asking but it is the pulse of this particular forum.

May 15th, 2009, 05:28 PM
your advice, and I respect your neuter stance, but I have a large investment in this animal, and I would like some of my money back......A brief history...I also have Lady's mother, and I kept Lady for a companion to her mother......When she was a pup I walked her, and her brother daily to train them, and also get a feel for the pups......I also held a male back, as I was trying to decide which dog to keep (all pups had their first set of shots)........Like I stated above we have coyotes in the area. One Sat afternoon the male pup took sick.....would not eat, or drink....we took him to the doggie emergence room, and he was diagnosed with parvo.....we brought the pup home, and first thing Monday morning I took him to our vet.....I had to put him down because he was too far gone.....A couple of days later Lady showed the same symptoms.......I called a vet friend in Austin who suggested a animal hospital that was very successful in treating dogs w/ parvo.......I could not in my heart put another dog really pained me to have to put the male down.......Lady was in the hospital for over a week, and she came out a very healthy - happy little puppy...............the cost was $3400.00........That was 3 years ago.........After consulting w/ our vet he said she would be fine for breeding, and I intend to breed her ........sorry but that is what I plan to do....

May 15th, 2009, 06:02 PM
Wow!!! You intend to breed your black lab to recoup some of your "investment" in her! Wonderful!!!!!!! I only pray that #1, your dog has a problem free pregnancy and delivery, #2, there are no hidden health issues with your girl, #3, by the time you have raised a possible litter of 12 for 12 weeks, administered first shots, tested for parvo, dewormed, etc, etc, etc,..... that the small amount of money you make from breeding her is worth it for you.
Good luck little sweetie. :sad: You have a hard enough life living outdoors facing inclement weather and wildlife. Now you have to face an unneeded pregnancy. :sad:

I am not even going to get started on the cat issue. :wall:

May 15th, 2009, 06:58 PM
Glad to hear your mind is made up.

There are 27,899 labradors of various colors looking for homes on Petfinder today. Two thirds of them will probably not find homes and be euthanized.

The current estimates of dogs euthanized annually in the United States is 4 MILLION. Killed for no reason other then they don't have a home.

Labrador Retrievers are prone to the following genetic disorders which are crippling or can be fatal:

Elbow dysplasia

Hip dysplasia

Retinal dysplasia

Other disorders which have an increased incidence in this breed

These disorders occur less commonly or are less devastating than those mentioned above.

Acral lick dermatitis

Central progressive retinal atrophy (primarily in the U.K.)

Cerebellar abiotrophy

Cervical vertebral instability

Cleft lip/palate

Corneal dystrophy

Diabetes mellitus

Hemophilia (factor VIII and IX)

Hypertrophic osteodystrophy

Intrahepatic portosystemic shunt

Labrador retriever central axonopathy (leukodystrophy) (very rare)

Labrador retriever myopathy

Persistent pupillary membranes

Progressive retinal atrophy

Tricuspid valve dysplasia

Vitamin A-responsive dermatosis

Many of these diseases require being seen by a veterinary specialist (not your family vet) for diagnosis and many of them are frequently over looked by a family vet performing a yearly vet.

But hey. You want to make your money back on your bitch.

I would have killed to have been able to spend $3400 to keep my dog for just another 6 months. But I certainly wouldn't have required her to "pay me back". And a reasonable person would think that if you spent that kind of money to save her life, you would let the poor thing in the house.

May 15th, 2009, 07:26 PM

the bottom line is that you really wont make much money at all if you breed your dog and insure health checks, deworming, vaccinations, food etc for the litter. That is *if* everything goes ok. We have a member here who just had a stray cat give birth in her garage and 2 kittens (of 3) have passed on :rip:. You could breed your dog, put her life at risk and then not make any money.

I am also wondering, if the area has coyotes how safe would little puppies be outside???

IMO the best way to recoup your money is through the hours of enjoyment and happiness your dog can give you when you spend time with her. Think of it this way- if a family member was sick and you had to cover medical expenses, would you then turn around and ask them to repay you in some way? No, you would just be thankful, eternally grateful and move on. I would definitely get her spayed.

Finally, not to be mean, but for advice on how to get her to stop lactating and in heat - don't hold your breath. It's just not something our members would know/divulge.

May 15th, 2009, 07:50 PM
How if you say boarding is too expensive can you afford to breed your dog????? Your dog has been through enough surviving parvo, let her just be your FRIEND.. You know also what the chances are of the litter catching parvo also? Can you afford that bill for 12 puppies? There are MORE than enough lab puppies no one needs yours.

I cannot believe you said you want to make some of your money back.. wow.. Glad to see you love your dog and you think every penny was worth saving her life, most would think that you have been paid back already by having her alive.. shocking.. truly shocking..

May 15th, 2009, 08:53 PM
..... A few more things.......
We really don't go out of our way on this site to be mean to people. I am sorry if we come across that way.
One thing I would love for you to do before you make a final decision to breed your beautiful girl.......... take the time to read some of the stories on here.
In particular read some of the work that BenMax has done. She has rescued/fostered over and above 63 dogs so far plus numerous cats; read cpietra's ongoing thread about 8 more cats being euthanized. Read about the issues she has been having finding homes; read Love4Himies threads. She fosters cats as well; read stories from our Frenchy. She has many horrific back yard breeding stories and the work she has done to save some of the results of that back yard breeding. One of her girls (dog) that she has gone on to adopt had such a horrible beginning it's a miracle she survived. She's very lucky to have found Frenchy who saved her and loves her; read chico's stories. She can't foster/adopt because she has a small home and three cats already. But she loves every single living breathing thing that comes within her circle; read Poodletalks stories; Keep on reading....... I know there are thousands of stories on here. I have given you just some names to read about. We have a woman on here who works tirelessly to rehome beagles/bassets/you name it. We have another who takes in smaller breed dogs who have been abused, neglected, etc.
Please, spend some time to read....... Does the world really need another litter of pups and one more back yard breeder?

May 15th, 2009, 09:53 PM
I do small dog rescue. Guess what was left at my home tonight? Tied to my steps.... A purebred chocolate lab about 1 year old. And not spayed.

She is off to a new caring home tomorrow. Get your dog spayed...

May 16th, 2009, 02:30 PM
Next door neighbor's dog had parvo..nasty stuff. The vet told them that the parvo virus can live for up to a year in any feces or vomit that might be laying long ago did the dog have parvo? It sounds like you live in a more rural setting and there could easily be some contaminated feces laying around.
Having pups in this setting could set you back a hell of a lot more than you expect if they come down with parvo.

May 16th, 2009, 05:24 PM
WOW,at first I thought it was wonderful to see a cat nursing off a dog,both look like beautiful animals.:lovestruck:
Then it went down-hill from there,cats/dogs outdoor in 90F,Coyotes prowling,breeding to recoup money.
I certainly hope you reconsider,black labs are not always easy to find homes for and you could find yourself giving them away to anyone who wants them.
We all here have faced huge vet-bills and yes,it is an investment,an investment to provide your dog/cat with a healthy happy life,because you love them.

dremel ?

just always open to new ideas! I have no immediate plans to buy one, but on reading the page in the link I originally posted it looked like an interesting idea. The guy wasn't a vet or anything, but made some points in favour of using it. one being that if used properly there is less chance of cutting the quick and at the same time getting a shorter cut. I just wondered if there was anyone out there with more info. It kind of makes me nervous too, so I would definitely want to do more research.

Notebook: R&A raises payout offered at Carnoustie

Print News

The total prize money available this year is $400,000 more than last year, and the winner will pocket a cool $1.5 million. Plus, Jose Maria Olazabal is racing to get back in shape and Ian Poulter appreciates the camera and phone policy.

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (PA) -- The total prize money for the Open Championship at Carnoustie will be $8.4 million, an increase of $400,000 over last year.

The winner of the Claret Jug will receive $1.5 million, an increase of $60,000 over the amount Tiger Woods collected for his successful defense of the title 12 months ago.

The world No. 1 now has the chance to be the first player to win it three times in a row since Peter Thomson in 1956.

"This increased prize money reflects our goal of maintaining the position of the Open Championship at the forefront of world golf," said Peter Dawson, chief executive of the Royal and Ancient Club.

The first two majors of the season, the Masters and U.S. Open, both had total prize money of $7 million.

Even the player who finishes in last place at Carnoustie will earn $4,200.

The course last staged the event in 1999, and winner Paul Lawrie's reward then was $750,000 from a total purse of $4 million.

OLAZABAL IN RECOVERY MODE: Jose Maria Olazabal is hoping to recover his fitness in time for this week's Barclays Scottish Open and next week's Open Championship.

The two-time Masters champion has been struggling with a left knee injury for the past four weeks and pulled out of the recent French Open.

"I've not swung a club since the U.S. Open and only started putting again the last two days," he said. "I'm taking anti-inflammatories, but it's still swollen and I'll need to have the fluid drained before I start practicing fully again."

POULTER PUT OUT: Ian Poulter for one will be mighty pleased that Open Championship fans will be told to stop using mobile phones as well as cameras at Carnoustie next week.

Poulter reckons he had to back off from shots at least 10 times because of untimely clicks during his opening-round 70 in the recent French Open at Le Golf National near Paris.

"It was the worst I've ever known it," said Poulter. "I was distracted a couple of times when I was playing and I had to start speaking to the crowd because it got that bad."

After two career victories on the PGA Tour, Ted Schulz won the First Tee Open in his 12th start on the Champions Tour.
Associated Press

Published: Sunday, September 05, 2010 | 7:12 p.m.

Ted Schulz won the First Tee Open on Sunday for his first Champions Tour title, holing an 8-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole at Pebble Beach en route to a 2-under 70 and a one-stroke victory over Tom Pernice Jr.

The 50-year-old Schulz -- in the field as an alternate in his 12th start on the 50-and-over tour -- finished at 14-under 202. It was his first victory since winning the 1991 Nissan Open for the second of his two PGA Tour titles

Pernice finished with a 67. Mark Calcavecchia and Tom Kite closed with 69s to tie for third at 12 under. Fred Couples (68) followed at 11 under.

Jeff Sluman, the 2008 and 2009 winner, shot a 71 to finish at 6 under.

Press Release

Zucara Therapeutics & CDRD Complete Licensing Deal to Select Lead Therapeutic Drug Candidate

The Centre for Drug Research and Development and Zucara Therapeutics Inc.
Posted on: 14 Oct 16

~~VANCOUVER and TORONTO, Canada ~~Zucara Therapeutics Inc., a pre-clinical life sciences company advancing a novel long-term therapeutic approach to prevent hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes, has signed a licensing agreement with The Centre for Drug Research and Development (CDRD) for access to a patented set of therapeutic drug compounds that will define its lead drug candidate.

CDRD and Zucara are working in partnership to develop unique compounds that will lead to a new safe and effective long-term therapeutic approach as the first once-daily therapeutic to prevent hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes. The compounds are pre-clinical first-in-class novel antagonists with the demonstrated potential to specifically block somatostatin type 2 receptors thereby preventing hypoglycemia and restoring a natural glucagon response. This method offers a clear advantage over current approaches which are more rescue in nature.

“This new license is an important step forward in bringing a new drug therapy closer to patients living with diabetes as it will enable us to access a promising lead drug candidate and position us to start clinical trials as early as 2018,” said Michael Midmer, Zucara’s CEO. “We believe this approach will dramatically change the treatment of hypoglycemia and improve long-term patient health.”

“We are very pleased that our innovative approach to develop new potential drug therapies is moving closer to clinical trials. Zucara, with our partner MaRS Innovation, has an opportunity to be part of the next evolution in diabetes therapies and accelerated advancement of a Canadian-based technology built on the discoveries of Banting and Best almost 100 years ago,” said Richard Liggins, CDRD Project Champion and Zucara’s Chief Scientific Officer.

Further validation of the lead drug candidate and in vivo studies are ongoing. Zucara will be seeking Series A funding in early 2017 to take the company through Phase I clinical trials which are expected to start in 2018.

CDRD’s technology development efforts were funded in part through the Genome BC-CDRD Development Fund.

– 30 –

About Zucara Therapeutics Inc.
Zucara Therapeutics, a spin-off of The Centre for Drug Research and Development (CDRD) and MaRS Innovation (MI), is developing the first drug therapy to prevent hypoglycemia in people with diabetes. The Company’s first-in-class therapeutic is focused on improving glucagon counterregulation by inhibiting somatostatin which is dysregulated in Type 1 diabetes. Preventing hypoglycemia will dramatically change diabetes disease management, improving both patient health and quality of life.

About The Centre for Drug Research and Development (CDRD)
CDRD is Canada’s national drug development and commercialization centre working in partnership with academia, industry, government and foundations. CDRD provides the specialized expertise and infrastructure to identify, validate and advance promising discoveries, and transform them into commercially viable investment opportunities for the private sector — and ultimately into new therapies for patients. Canada’s Networks of Centres of Excellence Program has recognized CDRD as a Centre of Excellence for Commercialization and Research (CECR).

Ibanez, Howard both sidelined

Ryan Howard will miss tonight's game against the New York Mets. (Yong Kim/Staff Photographer)

The injury list grows by the day and the only comfort in that is the calendar. Better now than October, right?

Ryan Howard is the latest regular missing from Charlie Manuel's lineup. He has inflammation (bursitis) in his left ankle and heel area, Ruben Amaro Jr. said. It's the same ankle he sprained last season.

Amaro said Howard is day-to-day and intimated that if it were the postseason, Howard could play. The GM said a day or two off wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for his first baseman, which is the truth.

As for Raul Ibanez, he will need at least a few more days to recover from left groin soreness. It's possible he receives an injection to help rid of the inflammation.

That's part of the reason why the Phillies placed Cole Hamels on the disabled list. Infielder Pete Orr was recalled from triple A to serve as an extra body on the bench with Ibanez sidelined.

Hamels, by the way, threw his bullpen session as scheduled. He was "absolutely fabulous," according to pitching coach Rich Dubee. He will start Monday in Cincinnati.

The missing bodies makes Tuesday's lineup look a bit different:

1. Shane Victorino 8
2. Placido Polanco 5
3. Chase Utley 4
4. Hunter Pence 9
5. John Mayberry Jr. 3
6. Ben Francisco 7
7. Wilson Valdez 6
8. Brian Schneider 2
9. Vance Worley 1

Maersk sees a slowing EU

The Cambodia representative for the world’s largest shipping company said exports from Cambodia to Europe grew by more than 60 per cent during 2011, but have since weakened.

“Rice exports grew a lot during 2011 and a lot of it went to Poland and France,” said Ben Wilson of Maersk (Cambodia) Ltd, which carries more cargo out of Cambodia than any other company.

Europe received about 35,000 TEU (20-foot containers) from Cambodia during 2011, much of it coming from the garment and footwear factories here.

“European global retailers have increased their sourcing out of Cambodia as compared to other countries,” Wilson said.

The jump in exports is credited to the Everything But Arms (EBA) initiative by the European Union under which all imports from Least Developed Countries (LDCs) are duty free and quota free, with the exception of armaments.

Growth of trans-Pacific shipments from Cambodia grew at about about three per cent during 2011.

“There were no changes in the US so the growth stayed about the same,” Wilson said.

Despite a big jump in 2011 exports to Europe, Wilson says the European market has since weakened.

“My opinion is we are seeing quite a weak market in Europe and the growth is not going to be as strong as it was last year.”

While the North American market remains Cambodia’s biggest, Wilson predicts growth of about five per cent for that market.

“The intra-Asia trade looks like it will continue to grow. The Asian economies are not suffering as much as Europe and there’s more investment from Japan, for example, in Cambodia. We may see more rice shipment growth in the region. We’ve seen a lot of rice to Malaysia and there’s a lot of talk about rice to China.”

Wilson says the Cambodian economy is starting to diversify.

“The future is going to be in labour intensive, low-skilled manufactured items. There is one company assembling children’s bicycles here. Other companies are doing wiring systems and furniture production. They are competing for the same labour pool as the garment factories and from what I understand could cause a labour shortage,” he said.

Wilson said one reason shipping out of Cambodia is expensive is because the volume is smaller, which prevents the economies of scale enjoyed by larger markets in Vietnam or Thailand.

He said an efficiency study of Cambodia’s ports by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) recommended private involvement in ports.

“That’s something we’d like to see the government look at seriously,” Wilson said. “They’ve done it with airports. They could also do it with sea ports. Based on our experience in other countries we’ve seen how privatisation of ports can increase efficiency and reduce costs. That is something we would encourage the government to consider.”

Wilson said he was sure the new Phnom Penh River Port, scheduled to be operational later this year, would be successful. He sees a lot of potential for agriculture in Cambodia’s future.

“There is a lot of potential for production of the more expensive fruit like mangos and bananas that could be sold in the overseas market.”

Wilson, 32, of Yorkshire, England, has been with Maersk for 10 years, the last year and a half as Cambodia’s country manager.

He runs a Phnom Penh office located adjacent to the Hotel InterContinental that employs 24 people.

Shipments to North America totalled about 50,000 TEUs during 2011, Wilson said, with 60 per cent of going out of the Sihanoukville port and 40 per cent going down the Mekong to the Cai Mep port in Vietnam from the Phnom Penh River Port.

That contrasts with the European shipments about 90 per cent of which depart from Sihanoukville.

Wilson says this is because of the connection with very large container ships to Europe operating out of Malaysia and Singapore.

Maersk Line is one of the business divisions within the AP Moller Group.

In addition to its ownership of the Cai Mep port near Vung Tao at the mouth of the Mekong, AP Moller owns the port at Tajung Pelepas port in Jahore, Malaysia, just above Singapore.

Maersk Line operates more than 600 vessels, among them some of the largest container ships in the world.

Here in Cambodia, Wilson is responsible for Maersk Line.

“Maersk line is a global network, and we can serve any country in the world from Cambodia. We have two weekly scheduled services to Sihanoukville Port, and the main one goes to Tajung Pelepas our main Southeast Asia hub port. We have huge vessels that come down from China, pick up the Southeast Asia cargo, and go on to Europe.”

Some of the major European ports served include Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Felixstowe in England and Bremerhaven in Germany.

Exports from Phnom Penh are growing faster than exports from Sihanoukville, Wilson said.

“We have big ships calling in Vietnam and going to US west coast. But for Europe, we have big ships calling in Malaysia and other companies calling in Singapore.”

Wilson said the factories of Cambodia tended to work towards the shipping schedule, setting production deadlines to meet the ships.

Denmark’s richest man, Maersk McKinney Moller, just died on April 16 at the age of 98, getting what amounted to a state funeral in Demnark. He was the son of the company’s founder.

“He was one of those incredible characters who started working before World War II and worked until a week before he died,” Wilson said.

A new product called Daily Maersk has been rolled out, according to Wilson, whereby the shipping company introduces daily cut-off times and guarantees arrival by a certain date.

“This is important for customers that are shipping from Cambodia. The garment and footwear purchasers from Cambodia they have very tightly managed supply chains and they don’t want to keep a lot of inventory. They need high reliability of service. When we say the shipment is going to be there in 21 days, it is there. Maersk is leading the industry in reliability.”

'Threatened' villagers block road with houses

Villagers moved two houses to block National Road 76 in Mondulkiri province during a protest. Photo Supplied

ABOUT 500 villagers from Mondulkiri’s Keo Seima district blocked National Road 76 with two houses during a protest over a land dispute on Friday, but later removed them after authorities offered to withdraw.

Residents of the Sre Khtum commune’s Orona, Sneng and O Am villages blocked the road from 1am on Friday until Saturday at 9pm to demand that the Riththy Kiri Seima Company stop clearing their farmland and withdraw bulldozers from the 5,000 hectares of disputed land, which affects around 2,050 families.

Residents used brute strength to move to transport the structures from the roadside to the middle of the route.

Villager Vorn Vit, who joined in the protest, said he was injured on his head and ear when military police allegedly beat him.

“We had no ability to stop company staff from clearing our land, so we decided to block the road to allow people know in public so that the authority would come to find a resolution,” Vorn Vit said.

He also claimed that on Friday at 10pm about 100 military police officers fired their weapons into the air an attempt to get villagers to open the road but villagers refused and a struggle ensued.

Vorn Cit said that villagers had made an agreement with deputy provincial governor Heng Samnang.

Heng Samnang said he tried to negotiate with villagers and that top government officials had ordered the company to leave the land.

Ouch Leng, land programme officer for the rights group Adhoc said yesterday: “Blocking the road is the last choice that villagers had. They knew that blocking the road causes people to be in traffic jams, face many  problems and that it is against the law.”

Riththy Kiri Seima company could not be reach for comment yesterday.

Apple iPhone 4S – Siri feature

0. phoneArena 25 Oct 2011, 02:06 posted on

Siri, Apple’s digital voice assistant service, really managed to pique our interest in our review of the iPhone 4S – mainly because of its awareness in intelligently offering assistance. Let’s take a closer in-depth look and see what all the fuss is about surrounding our newfound friend...

It's not innovation, it's just having a lot of money for buying decades of progress in research for something that was innovative also decades ago in science fiction.

Everything Apple "innovates" is allways predictable - it only takes guts to do it. And lots of money.

However, I'm terrified of the future controlled by Apple. We will all think it made our lives easier - but we will finally literally communicate with machines (that only emulate conciousness), not with humans. Machines will not adapt to humans, the humans will adapt to machines. But they will be designed to give us illusion that they are adapted to us. Perfect symbiosis.

If anyone in history was inhuman, it was Steve Jobs and Apple.

They are already controlling the future. Future as the perspective, as a cultorological vision - is now unimaginable without Apple. Apple is expected to be the sheperd of the herd, it has a sort of subscription to technological "innovations" - everyone will stand and wait till Apple innovate something again, despite the fact that technology itself is already available. That's the real future in culturological sense, and Apple is now leading it. The "real" future can be something completely new, but the "real" future doesn't even exists - only future as "seeing things from now" exists.

Apple controls technological, aesthetical and now even political paradigm - as late capitalism succesfully substituted religion and politics with technology and aesthetics. Everything else instead of Apple paradigm is not imaginable - even those who oppose Apple are in fact inside its paradigm.
And yes, even with iPhone and iPad - they are symbols of our culture, the very essence of our lifestyle, the future we would like to have, the future in which we are now. Their function is far more dangerous than just being a phone and tablet - they physically represent unifying technological ecosystem on which masses are becoming more and more dependent.

When Apple introduce, and, of course, "reinvent" television, it will be only a final proof that Apple is controlling our lives with alibi of "making our lives easier, prettier and more functional" - everything in our lives will be set to virtual world of tweeting in empty air of social newtorks, finding locations of our friends without actually have to see them, and finally talking to our devices - the center of all will be Apple iTV, which will be used for renting/buying movies, music, games, books, newspapers, magazines, browsing the Internet, talking to our friends with picture and sound (just like in SF movies) - who also have their Apple TV at home... all unified in one Apple account with beautiful UI experience (which became the most important thing, form before actual content) which offers everything you "need", and you are not cool without it. And you will have no reason not to join the party - because everything and everyone will be there.

So, don't think it's just another innocent technology. All technological icons in history just wanted to become rich, but only Steve Jobs didn't care about the money. He only wanted to have unlimited power over the world, and boy he gained it.

We must be using a different version of Siri, mine doesn't do 1/2 those things. Most of the time it just says " I'm sorry I cannot ....."

It can make appointments and set an alarm, thats about it.

in the uk you dont get any location based features or any map navigation etc...once siri is integrated with 3rd party apps then it will be awesome right now it makes somethings faster such as setting reminders and alarms.

Who cares where the guy/girl lives? The problem here is that here is an iPhone user first hand telling you his phone doesn't have all of the functionality that they claim it does and you seem to be in denial. I also noticed in the video that at about 3:20 the phone thinks John V. said "You can be raining in San Fransisco tomorrow" when he actually asked "Is it going to be raining in San Fransisco tomorrow?" . That sounds like some real promising software especially when it ends up making these kind of mistakes with a text message. Lol iTards

Even Apple won't advertise it as the best phone. It's the best iPhone.

There is no "best" phone.

If you ask Siri which phone is best it will say the one you're holding
