Personas for Firefox!!

Basically Persona allows you to change your theme, (also known as skins), similar to when you change your instant messaging skin (AIM, Yahoo, etc). It is a way to spice up the look of your browser, and individualize the feel according to your preference. I think Personas came out several months ago with the release of Firefox 3.6, or at least the ability to update your Persona really easily without installing any additional plugins add-ons.

Strange Story of Savage Domestic Cat

This is a UK cat story. Do you believe it? I don’t want to insinuate that the 80 year victim of a domestic cat attack is lying or embroidering her story but I am sure that we do not have the entire story. The way she describes it and the picture of her face just doesn’t stack up for me.

The Story

Nora Scott, 80, is doing her gardening. She was wearing glasses. A neighbour’s cat, who happens to be black, wanders into her garden, jumps up to her face and attacks her. She is mauled by a domestic cat. Nora is left with two black eyes and some scratches on her face. But the scratches are not that visible in the photo which I publish here under fair use¹. There are some minor punctures. Nora says that “There was blood everywhere…” What from? Two small punctures?

Woman Attacked By Black Domestic Cat

Woman Attacked By Black Domestic Cat

That is the story really. I am very surprised to see two black eyes as if she has been hit – punched – in the face. Could a domestic cat do this when a person is wearing glasses? And why would a cat attack a person in what Nora indicates is a totally unprovoked way? Domestic cats do not make unprovoked attacks on humans. They have to be badly provoked and any attack would be defensive. A domestic would be mad to attack a person. There is no logic to it.

Nora called the police but they won’t do anything about it. The cat’s owner has responded by apologising and has agreed to rehome her cat. Nora wants a law against dangerous cats along the lines of the Dangerous Dogs Act.

The cat has been called a “vicious moggy” by the newspaper that reports the story. Sorry, I don’t believe this story. I know I have trouble believing anything anymore! But this looks wrong to me. I suspect there is a neighbour dispute and Nora wanted to get at her neighbour and fabricated the story. That sounds harsh and may be completely incorrect in which case I would apologise but I have never heard such a fanciful story nor two black eyes being caused by an unprovoked domestic cat attack.

What do you think?

Strange Story of Savage Domestic Cat — 23 Comments

  1. Lol – I’d be hard pressed to give a person wearing glasses 2 black eyes myself. A cat couldn’t do it. She’s clearly a nut job and you are probably right about it being a personal matter which doesn’t involve the cat. Or she doesn’t like the cat in her garden – that could well be it. The fact that the owner offers to rehome the cat is a little shocking to me.

    • Good, I am pleased you agree. It is hard to believe things with so many half truths on the internet and in the newspapers.

  2. No way. I think she got a facelift and fabricated the bizarre story to cover up. Sorry if I’m wrong ma’am, but something is fishy.

    • That is a good idea dw. Never thought of that. It does look like she has had a bit of work around her eyes. I shouldn’t be too unkind but something is wrong and it is obvious so I don’t know why the newspaper published the story.

  3. I don’t for one moment believe this story, that woman looks as if she’s been punched in the face. If a cat had gone for her face she’d have put her hands up to defend her eyes and her hands and arms would have been scratched and bitten.
    No wonder the police wouldn’t do anything about the cat! But they should have been looking into who did this to her and put her up to a cover story.
    If I was that cat’s caretaker I’d not rehome my cat I’d move right away from that cat hater as quickly as possible.

  4. Amazing, when I read the story I was in disbelief. She must hate the cat and perhaps the police should rather investigate her. Could be an attempt to explain a domestic – perhaps an aggressive husband? If it’s a facelift, I would sue the surgeon, she doesn’t look any better, and at 80 years (smile)? Can I have this cat, I have nasty neighbours, perhaps the owners can ‘rent’ him/her out to get them to move.

    • LOL..your comment made me smile …I like your thought too that she may have been hit by her husband 🙂 Sorry mustn’t laugh. In fact the black eyes look very much like the consequences of being punched. It is a case of domestic violence not a cat attack. Or perhaps she just had a little bit too much to drink one evening and fell over face first. Just speculating. I think you have to because this is not a cat attack. Leave that cat alone please!

  5. According to the photograph, a pure fabricated story.A ordinary cat can’t do such terrible damage.A cat would normally scratch and run away or just bite.This looks like the lady has been punched by a human and must have made an excuse of being mauled by a cat.After all , animals can’t speak and voice their opinion.First time i have read or come across such a bizarre story.people have been mauled by “Big cats” but never in this manner by a ordinary house cat.There is a manner and a method in telling a lie and this particular narration is a bizarre lie.

  6. It looks to me as though she may have fallen down and bruised her eyes because she was wearing glasses, she may have dementia and thought the story was true (I’m trying to be kind) or maybe she’d had a couple of sherries or even maybe she was roughed up by someone and isn’t letting on. The neighbour’s cat is just a convenient cover story for her but how rotten to do that, I’m glad the police took no notice of her. I just think it’s sad that the cat’s owner didn’t stand by the cat and tell her to go and boil her head.

  7. Great yet another load of rubbish for cat haters to feed on well done Nora and the Daily Mail or whatever publication it was for relating the story without due investigation. I would NEVER give my cat up. Come on Nora fess up, what really happened????

  8. Going by the comments on the newspaper web site there aren’t that many people who believe this, but yes the cat haters are enjoying it all, cats messing in their gardens etc.
    What is it with some people that they can’t just live and let live!

  9. Was the neighbor’s cat a tiger?!this is some nutty old woman who wants to start trouble with her neighbor,and is using this stupid excuse!the goverments are killing our dogs,,now they want to kill our cats!!

  10. She’s a victim of domestic violence and she’s covering up for the abuser. The whole cat attack story is a convenient fabrication. It has nothing to do with the cat or the neighbor who owns the cat. This woman is terrified that if she tells who attacked her he (or she) will retaliate. She’s afraid to leave the abuser, afraid to confront the facts of what’s happening to her and the terrible position she’s in– this whole story about a cat doing it lets the abuser off the hook, allows her to fantasize that, yeah, it really was the cat that did this, and so she can live in denial one more day, believing that the abuser really loves her and this will be the last time he’ll hit her, and if she just tried harder to please him, and he’s always so nice afterwards… The police need to dig into this and find out who really hit her before he (or she) kills this woman. Then the neighbor can get her cat back instead of rehoming it.

    • Good point Ruth. The police should ask some questions because it does look someone hit her. The trouble is in the UK, the police are not good at domestic violence. Actually they tend to want to bypass problems and make life easy for themselves. There I go again, complaining about the police….!

      • The police can’t help someone who won’t ask for their help, they’d probably be reported by that woman’s abuser for interfering with a domestic matter. In our own town my sister and I work closely with our local police as we run Neighbourhood Watch, it’s frustrating for them that people say ‘Oh the police won’t do anything’ Well they can’t if they don’t know about it! We are lucky to have had only good experiences with the police I suppose but it’s a shame to tar them all with the same brush, there are good and bad in all professions.

  11. In my state any call for domestic violence is an automatic arrest. Someone has to go to jail– police decide who– but an arrest is mandatory. That’s because we had those issues years ago where the police didn’t take abuse in families seriously, seeing it as a private issue, and the couple would work it out.

    • Often the police in the UK see domestic violence as a civil issue. For example as part of divorce proceedings. I think that mentality has changed somewhat but of course when violence takes place behind closed doors it is hard to get to the truth and the victim (the only viable witness) often hides the truth making prosecution difficult or impossible.

  12. I can’t buy the cat attack story.
    If this is not a case of domestic violence, I would say that it’s a case of “falling down drunk on my face”!

Moving Big Things in Small Spaces

Posted by PITHOCRATES - September 11th, 2013

Technology 101

Ships once used Tugs to Maneuver around in Small Spaces but Today they use Tunnel Thrusters

As technology progressed the more things we needed to make other things.  Small factories grew into large manufacturing plants.  Which consumed vast quantities of material to produce vast quantities of goods.  Requiring ever larger means of transportation.  And we have built some behemoths of transportation.

Water transport has been the preferred method for heavy transport.  Which is why most early cities were on rivers.  As time passed our cities got bigger.  Our industry got bigger.  And our ships got bigger.  Huge bulk freighters bring iron ore, coal, limestone, etc., from northern ports across the Great Lakes to docks on small rivers and harbors further south.  On the open lakes these ships can put the pedal to the metal.  Roaring across these lakes at breakneck speeds of 15 mph.  If you’ve ever seen a Great Lakes freighter at full throttle you probably noticed something.  They push a lot of water out of their way.  Something they can’t do in those small rivers and harbors.  As their wake would push the river over its banks.  So they slow down to a non-wake speed of something slower than a person walking.

Lakes are huge bodies of deep water.  But these Great Lakes freighters, or lakers, often enter narrow and shallow rivers.  Some rivers even too shallow.  So they dredge a channel in them.  So these lakers don’t bottom out.  Some lakers have to travel upriver to offload.  Then turn around.  Which isn’t easy in a shallow river when your ship is 700-1,000 feet long.  They once used tugs to push these ships around.  But today they use tunnel thrusters.  An impeller inside a tunnel through the ship at the bow and stern perpendicular to the beam and below the water line.  Which can turn a ship without the forward motion a rudder requires.  Allowing it to move as if a tug is pushing it.  Only without a tug.

Interesting thing about Trains is that they don’t have a Steering Wheel

With the introduction of the railroad cities moved away from rivers and coastlines.  But the railroads only became a part of the heavy transport system.  Cities grew up along the railroads.  Where farmers in a region brought their harvests to grain elevators.  Trains took their harvests from these elevators to ports on rivers and coastlines.  Where they could offload to ships or barges.  And it would take a large ship or a barge.  Because one long train can carry a lot of harvest.

Interesting thing about trains is that they don’t have a steering wheel.  For there is only two directions they can go.  Forward.  And backward.  If you’ve traveled passenger rail to the end of the line you may have experienced a train turning around.  The train will reduce speed to a crawl as they switch over to a perpendicular-running track.  For trains do not travel well on curves.  Because the wheels are connected to a solid axel.  So in a turn the outer wheel needs to travel faster to keep up with the inner wheel.  But can’t.  Causing the wheels to slip instead.  Causing wear and tear on the train wheels.  And track.  Which is why curved track does not last as long as straight track.  The train travels a while on this perpendicular track at a crawl until the rear end passes another switch.  It then stops.  And goes backward.  Switching back to the track it was originally on.  Only now backing up instead of traveling forward.  The train then backs into the passenger terminal.  Ready to leave from this end of the line going forward.  To the other end of the line.

Freight trains are a lot longer than passenger trains.  Some can be a mile long.  Or longer.  And rarely turn around like a freight train.  Rail cars are added to each other creating a consist in a rail yard.  A switcher (small locomotive) moves back and forth picking up cars and attaching them to the consist.  In the reverse order which they will be disconnected and left in rail yards along the way.  Once they build the consist they bring in the go-power.  Typically a lashup of 2-3 locomotives (or more if they’re the older DC models).  The lead locomotive will typically face forward.  Putting the engineer at the very front of the train.  In the old days they had roundhouses to switch the direction of these locomotives.  Today they turn them around when they need to like the passenger train turning around.  Which is much easier as they only have to turn around one locomotive in the lashup.

Planes may Fly close to 500 mph in the Air but on the Ground they move about as Fast as Someone can Walk

Airplanes are big.  In flight they’re as graceful as a bird in flight.  But it’s a different story on the ground.  Planes are big and heavy.  They have a huge wingspan.  And the pilots sit so far forward that they can’t see how close their wingtips are to other things.  Such as other airplanes.  When they leave a gate they usually have a tug push them back and get them facing forward.  At which time they start their engines.  As it would be dangerous to start them while at the gate where there are a lot of people and equipment servicing the plane.  They don’t want to suck anything—a person or a piece of equipment—into the jet engines.  And they don’t want to blow anything away moving behind the engines as the jet blast from a jet can blow a bus away.  And has.  In flight they use their ailerons to turn.  The flaps on the tips of each wing that roll a plane left or right.  Causing the plane to turn.  The rudder is used for trimming a plane.  Or, in the case of an engine failure, to correct for asymmetric thrust that wants to twist the airplane like a weathercock.  On the ground they use a little steering wheel (i.e., a tiller) outboard of the pilot (to the left of the left seat and to the right of the right seat) to turn the nose gear wheel.

Pilots can’t see a lot out of the cockpit window while on the ground.  Which is why they rely on ground crews to give them direction.  And to walk alongside the wings during the pushback.  To make sure the wings don’t hit anything.  And that no one hits the plane.  Once the tug disconnects and the plane is under its own power the flight crew takes directions from ground controllers.  Whose job is to safely move planes around the airport while they’re on the ground.  Planes may fly close to 500 mph in the air but on the ground they move about as fast as someone can walk.  For planes are very heavy.  If they get moving too fast they’re not going to be able to stop on a dime.  Which would be a problem if they’re in a line of planes moving along a taxiway to the runway.

When we use big things to move people or freight they work great where they are operating in their element.  A ship speeding across an open lake.  A train barreling along straight track.  Or a plane jetting across the open skies.  But when we rein these big things in they are out of their element.  Ships in narrow, shallow rivers.  Trains on sharply curved track.  And planes on the ground.  Where more accidents happen than when they are in their element.  Ships that run into bridges.  Trains that derail.  And planes that hit things with their wings.  Because it’s not easy moving big things in small places.

Fenway Policy Brief Outlines Ways Trumpcare Would Harms LGBTs, PLWHAs and Black/Latinx Americans

Friday Mar 17, 2017
Paul Ryan (R) and The American Heath Care Act

Today, The Fenway Institute of Fenway Health released a policy brief outlining how the American Health Care Act (AHCA), the Trump Administration's proposed replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), could impact LGBT people, people living with HIV (PLWH), and Black and Latino Americans.

"This bill holds potentially devastating consequences for low-income LGBT people, people living with HIV, and Black and Latino people," said Sean Cahill, PhD, Director of Health Policy Research for The Fenway Institute at Fenway Health. "The rates of uninsurance among LGBT people and people living with HIV have dropped dramatically since 2013, when the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion was implemented. While people of all races benefitted from the expansion of insurance access, on a per capita basis Black and Latino people benefitted disproportionately. Those gains could be completely erased if this bill becomes law."

Between 2013 and 2015, the rate of uninsurance among lesbian, gay, and bisexual people decreased from 22 percent to 11 percent. The percentage of people living with HIV who lacked any kind of health insurance coverage was 22 percent in 2012 and dropped to 15 percent in 2014.

The Fenway Institute analysis also notes that while the ACA has benefitted Americans of all racial/ethnic backgrounds, reducing uninsurance rates among Whites by 42 percent from 2012 to 2014 (from 12 percent uninsured to 7 percent uninsured), the repeal of the ACA would disproportionately hurt Black and Latino Americans. On a per capita basis, Black and Latino people are overrepresented in the 20 million who have newly accessed insurance. Uninsurance among Blacks was nearly cut in half, from 19 percent to 11 percent, from 2012 to 2014. Over time, this expansion of insurance to Black Americans could play a key role in reducing health disparities affecting Black people.

Four provisions in the AHCA would impact low-income LGBT people and PLWH, in particular:

  • By 2020, the AHCA would revise eligibility criteria for enrollment in Medicaid so that in addition to being low-income, an enrollee would also need to be disabled or a parent of dependent children. PLWH must let their disease progress to AIDS in order to meet the definition of disabled, and many low-income LGBT people are not parents.

  • The AHCA would not impact anyone already enrolled in Medicaid as of 2020. But anyone who drops their coverage would need to meet the new eligibility criteria in order to re-enroll. That provision creates an incentive for low-income adults living with HIV who are not parents to decline a higher paying job with private insurance. Because their health is dependent upon affordable access to life-saving HIV medicines, the risk of not being able to re-enroll in Medicaid if they were to lose their job might not be one that is worth taking.

  • The AHCA would replace the individual mandate with a continuous coverage requirement that would levy a one-year 30 percent insurance surcharge on anyone who takes more than 63 days to leave one health insurance plan for another. Healthy people who lose insurance and are unable to replace it within 63 days may opt to stay out of the insurance market until they really need it in order to avoid paying the 30 percent surcharge. But PLWH require access to affordable health care and medicine to remain alive. PLWH who lose their health insurance through job loss, and are unable to replace it within the 63-day window, would be forced to pay the 30 percent surcharge once they do obtain insurance again.

  • The AHCA would prevent states from using Medicaid funding to reimburse "prohibited entities" from providing health care. Planned Parenthood is one of the few providers of health care that meets the definition of the AHCA's "prohibited entities." The LGBT population experiences disproportionate burden related to sexual health outcomes. Gay and bisexual men, as well as transgender women, are disproportionately burdened by HIV and other STIs. Lesbian and bisexual adolescent women are at greater risk of unwanted pregnancies than heterosexual adolescent women. The sexual health and family planning services that Planned Parenthood offers play a role in reducing these disparities.

    All of these changes would affect LGBT people of color and PLWH who are Black and Latino, in particular. Black and Latino men who have sex with men experience the highest HIV burden among all sub-populations, and transgender women of color have disproportionately high rates of HIV and other sexually-transmitted infections.

    The AHCA would make no changes to the many insurance industry reforms enacted under the ACA, such as the ban on insurance companies denying coverage to people with preexisting health conditions that has been life-saving for PLWH. In order to pass the AHCA with a simple majority vote in the Senate, the bill can only make changes that would impact the federal budget. Sixty votes are required to make more substantive changes, such as rescinding reforms to the insurance industry enacted under the ACA.

    The policy brief, What the American Health Care Act means for LGBT people and people living with HIV, can be read here.

Train Shows & Guys

When they hit male menopause, some men buy a sports car, or a sailboat, or take off with a young woman named Amber. Others take the cheaper and more benign route: buy electric trains and go to train shows.

Rainy nights in Paris

Just after midnight in Paris: The Left Bank boulevard glitters from a downpour. Street lamps, a white “HOTEL” sign at the end of the street by the Seine, a distant sing-song police siren. It’s mostly deserted. Two young women scoot by, then four guys. A few people slump on a bus. “A demain,”…

Seven months after JFK was assassinated and four months after the Beatles played Ed Sullivan, 100,000 American students (I was one) became the first generation of middle-class American college kids who could afford to travel to Europe.

  • Price：$0.00
  • MEUV Multi-coating UV Filter can protect the expensive lens well. Keep the best perfect color balance，meanwhile protect the most valuable lens. Lens after being processed can reduce glare and do not influence exposure Scope: UV Filter can weaken blue hue caused by ultraviolet rays, so it can take photos in seaside, mountains, snow and open areas. Relative to digital cameras, removing disturbances from ultraviolet to CCD can improve sharpness and recover the nature color.
  • Play Video
  • Product Functions:
    During taking photos, UV Filter does not only protect lens, but also filter light. It is really necessary to protect lens because of its valuable. Installing UV Filter can guarantee dust cannot enter the lens and convenience when wiping. You don’t need to worry about ruining the lens. Period of photography,lens receive light is the same as what man see. Looking at objects under the strong sunshine is difficult to adapt and easy to get tired. We feel better if we put on colored glasses because lens has blocked some strong ultraviolet rays. Eyes can accept outside things in a relax environment. So is the UV Filter of lens. It can prevent from strong ultraviolet rays to affect clarity during imaging. It can also keep lens from air pollution. When we use the traditional cameras, most photos used film would be bluish and whiten in the strong ultraviolet area because of chemical properties which is very sensitive to ultraviolet among sunshine. It has a strong influence on photos’ quality. Adding a UV Filter in front of lens can effectively filter out ultraviolet rays so as to improve clarity of photos. For mountain photography or aerial photography, it can make scene more clear and restore the true and colorful pictures. As a result, UV Filter becomes a must at that time.

Space Run Galaxy

The Defence

Developer: PASSTECH Games
Publisher: Focus Home Interactive
Genre: Indie, Strategy, Tower Defense
Platform: PC
Review copy: Yes
Release date: 17 Jun 2016

The Case

Space Run, the 2014 game by Passtech Games, filled a niche that no one knew existed. It took traditional tower defence mechanics and warped them into a spaceship building and race against time. Space Run is a unique game, a great experience, and it leaves you hungry for more. So the questions is: can the sequel, Space Run Galaxy, deliver an experience equal to its predecessor and still innovate enough to make buying a sequel worthwhile?

The Trial

The mechanics in Space Run involve placing ship components to build, upgrade your spaceship and shoot down asteroids and approaching enemies. Typically for a tower defence, the more targets you destroy the more “money” (Hex Nuts) you have to build new components with. Space Run isn’t just a glorified game of Asteroids, it’s also a race. Each ‘job’ you take up requires you to transport some cargo from A to B. Part of the challenge is getting your cargo to its location intact, part to get it there faster than the competition. Your progress through each mission is displayed in the bottom right of the screen, along with the progress of three other craft. To complete a level successfully you must finish ahead of the slowest ship, while finishing before the faster ships will give you more rewards. And this brings us back to the ship building. One of the most important components you can build on your ship is an engine; building more engines makes your ship go faster, just as adding defence components makes you better protected and adding guns gives you more pew pew.

In space, they serve super-size calamari.

Ship components do have a wide variety of uses beyond the basic shield/guns/speed upgrades. There are some that increase overall ship strength, some that repair components, some that shoot down missiles, some that upgrade nearby components (also unlocking new abilities), and some that even slow down time. Weapon components especially come in a wide variety and will keep you entertained with all manner of sparkly death dealing. As expected not all components are available at the beginning, but as you complete ‘jobs’ and gain XP you can unlock more powerful parts that can eventually turn your humble space truck into a low rent Star Destroyer.

Why am I explaining the details of Space Run to you? Because all of these mechanics so far, are almost identical to those in Space Run Galaxy. Don’t be too shocked at this, when you have a winning formula it doesn’t pay to deviate much when making the sequel. Indeed, apart from most of the game mechanics, SRG also has: the same art style, many of the same assets, a similar premise (‘make it’ as a freelance space trucker shipping dangerous cargo) and it even has the same humour. All of these areas however, worked brilliantly in the first game and I’m still enjoying them a second time round.

So what does Space Run Galaxy do differently to Space Run? The biggest difference has to be the addition of the “Galaxy”, this is not the actual Galaxy fortunately, because even that can get dull after a while (just ask Elite Dangerous players). The Galaxy in SRG is its new method of arranging mission and story progression, and it’s a big improvement. The “Galaxy” consists of five sectors, each with a group of locations linked by various travel routes. Completing the story led missions is what allows you to progress from one sector to another. Some locations are also locked by XP level and others by secret travel routes. Although SRG has a story and an actual ending, you don’t have to stick to the planned routes or even any kind of time frame, the Story simply progresses when you’re ready to push forward. If you’re struggling with a particular mission, or even if you want to just replay a route you enjoyed, you can set your own travel plans at any time. You can even leave cargo from assorted half-finished jobs, at various locations until you’re ready to go back to them (there is a limit of about half a dozen jobs at once). Whether you’re retracing your steps or just exploring a sector, the more jobs you complete the more XP and money you earn, this in turn leads to more upgrades, better ships and a better chance with the next mission you undertake.

Never let making money, put you off making more money.

The next biggest change with Galaxy, has to be the ships. Instead of being given a predesigned ship for every mission, you get to keep the same ships across every mission. However, as you progress, you get opportunities to buy or discover new (and usually larger) ship styles. On top of that, each new ship “template” you unlock has the potential to be altered, upgraded and even repainted to your liking. Although this is a simple feature, it’s definitely one that I yearned for when playing the original game. I have to congratulate the devs for limiting the templates to certain styles rather than just “X” number of hexes, as the limits this imposes makes designing ships more of a challenge, and keeps fresh the prospect of discovering new ship templates.

As mentioned, the various ship components in the sequel all work in pretty much the same manner as those in SR. However, they are all still subtly different. The biggest change for components has to be the need to craft every component individually, but don’t worry, you won’t be doing that in the middle of a mission. Components are crafted by the mechanics found in most space stations. To craft each item the mechanic needs a variety of materials (generally red, green or blue) which you are awarded for completing a contract. There are four general component types, and it may be necessary to transport your materials to new stations in order to find a mechanic that can craft the item you want. You can transport materials yourself, as cargo, or you can create a “Contract” so other players transport the material for you (more on this later). As well as using materials, a mechanic will also charge a fee, and prices increase depending on how many components of each type you already have. The upshot is that, as well as being limited by what components you’ve unlocked, you’re also limited by how many of them you’ve made. This adds another fun factor for designing your ships. One notable component type is missing from SRG however – generators. Engines instead carry a dual role of adding speed and energy to you ship. Energy is a reusable resource that allows activation of the various special abilities components have.

One of the complaints levelled at SR was the sometimes frantic nature of missions, and the need to manually activate multiple abilities at the right time. While these features are all still present in SRG, missions generally have a less desperate feel to them. The available abilities have been thinned out slightly, while still keeping the most distinctive and powerful ones available. The biggest criticism levelled at Space Rrun was the lack of a pause button that would allow you to think carefully and stack up multiple orders when something unexpected happens. However this is not something the devs wanted in the game, and I respect them for keeping it out this time as well. Adding a pause button, essentially would turn the game into an entirely different game by removing the skill element. Once that’s done, it becomes more of a cerebral exercise, rather than a skill based exercise with the associated adrenaline rush. However, as I said, missions are slightly less frantic in SRG, and if you find one that’s a little too frustrating, you can often skip it, or just run some other missions until you have a ship/component combo that is up to the challenge.

Fortunately my paint job matches the plasma damage.

Multiplayer. This was not something I was expecting to see in a Space Run sequel. Although this is not a “true” multiplayer, the addition of a persistent “Galaxy” with player made contracts, is a novel idea and works really well. To encourage players to take up contracts, Passtech have added valuable rewards and unlocks for every player-made contract you complete. On top of that, it’s also fun to arrange contracts for others, and plan ahead how you will use your materials. Apart from crafting, ship templates and badges can also be sold or gifted to other players. Remarkably Passtech have succeeded in creating a living marketplace that will bring out the budding entrepreneur in you.

The Verdict

With only a handful of new mechanics and a few subtle changes, Passtech have managed to evolve their previous title into something with much more replayability, much more nuanced strategy and even much more draw. The addition of a persistent player driven economy is inspired and it succeeds in adding immersion and impact to your trading decisions. I’m thoroughly pleased with the addition of the new “Galaxy” and the flexibility it affords you for making your fortune. My inner Treky delights in the ability to design my own ships, as well as upgrade them on the fly. The core gameplay as excellent as it is, has virtually not changed at all. The mechanics have been tweaked for the better. If you struggled with Space Run, or lost interest halfway through, then Space Run Galaxy isn’t going to add enough new mechanics to make it interesting. However if you enjoyed SR and you’re hungry for more, then you will love Galaxy. If however you are new to Space Run, and you have a passing interest in Tower Defences, then get Space Run Galaxy, it has a lot to offer. Space Run was a game that could be completed in twenty five exuberant hours, but Space Run Galaxy is a game that you can easily sink an extra hundred.

Case Review

  • Something to Smile About: Funny characters and bright colours. Plus a bit more of a story than before.

  • Keep the Wheels Turning: A lot more replayability.

  • Trotter Incorporated: Move some goods, make some money, help your friends, and of course “pay” your taxes.

  • Shiny Beamy Death: adding more laser cannons never gets old.

  • Mostly the Same: If you disliked Space Run you probably won’t enjoy this.

  • Anti Anti: The graphics are bright, but not cutting edge. Could do with anti-aliasing option.

4 Score: 4/5
Build a spaceship; rebuild your spaceship; make other players work for you.

  • Graphics: Not a huge range of options here, just the resolution, screen, vsync, shadows and selection of either windowed or not.
  • Sound: The basics are here, plus the option to turn off particular notifications.
  • Controls: While using shortcuts is not essential, it certainly helps when you’re under pressure. Fortunately the long list of controls can all be rebound to your liking.
4 Score: 4/5

Space Run Galaxy is a charming and unique take on the RTS/Tower Defense genres, mixing in some micro-management, base building and RPG elements. Players can modify their intergalactic “Truckship” along its journey in many interesting ways. You can upgrade its arsenal of multifunctional weaponry, such as missile launchers and plasma cannons, as well as its multitude of defense modules, like the shield generator, healing station and anti-missile defense systems. Players can also redesign their ship in many different shapes, sizes and colors freely, or with Blueprints purchased at spaceports for optimal placement opportunities. Everything on your cargo carrying space hauler is completely modular, upgradable and swappable, which can lead to silky-smooth trade runs or hair-pulling frustration depending on your designs.

You play as a space courier, who’s been hired by the most famous and skilled space runner of the last twenty years, ol’ Capt. Buck Mann himself, to help launch his fledgling intergalactic courier company to new heights. You’re tasked with hauling valuable cargo over four unique solar systems filled with hundreds of humorous missions, contracts and challenges, along the way meeting a plethora of wacky characters. You’re rewarded with XP, building materials and space bucks from successfully completing contracts and missions, with minimizing cargo loss and speedy delivery being the key to victory. Also for greater rewards are online multiplayer contracts that players can create or ask for assistance and share valuable resources. The core of the game revolves around the increasingly difficult real-time battles from spaceport to spaceport. Enemies can, and will come from literally all directions, forcing players to think on their feet during these hectic skirmishes, maneuvering weapons around and building components as needed with the use of Hexnuts, gathered from defeated space pirates and blasting through the many asteroids barreling down on you during your journey.

Visually beautiful at times but having a lot of cut n’ paste travel segments, worlds do differ from one another and the backdrops are quite nice to look at, as well as many unique and colorful character portraits throughout. The audio was hit or miss, I found the music generic and uninspiring at times, and the sound effects lacking in variety, however, the voice acting was top notch, and very well done. The controls were extremely tight and simple to master, you could virtually play this game with one hand, and everything you need is at your fingers command. My only gripes would be the woefully lacking anti-aliasing options…those jaggies can poke an eye out! The difficulty was terribly unforgiving at times, forcing me to try again if a single mistake was made, having a cannon aimed at the wrong direction can, and in most cases, lead to utter failure within seconds of a mission. All in all though, for its $19.99 USD price tag, fast paced challenging battles, and it’s unique gameplay, combined with plentiful content to keep gamers occupied, I highly recommend this to all those masochistic RTS/Tower Defense lovers out there who are just itching to try something different. You won’t be disappointed!

3 Score: 3/5

Space Run Galaxy combines tower defense and real-time strategy with a science fiction arcade twist and improves on mechanics and gameplay from the first Space Run. Set 20 years after the first game, Captain Buck Mann has started up an intergalactic courier service and has offered you a job to aid in the delivery of valuables all over the galaxy. This time round in Space Run Galaxy there are 4 solar systems, 50 zones to explore and hundreds of different runs that will range from the introductory prologue up to the difficult fast paced end game missions.

Due to the lack of a pause function, the Space Run franchise garnered quite a number of fans that were upset at the real-time aspect of the game whilst liking most of the other feature. Having a pause function, although making the game easier, can ruin the charm of this unique experience. The challenge of Galaxy rests on its fast flowing and frantic gameplay and constant micro-managing, organizing your offensive structures and defensive utilities whilst focusing on how to deal with the dangerous environment and constant onslaught of enemy ships. A new twist to gameplay is a persistent multiplayer feature, you can go on contracts set up by real players or you can trade many resources with them. Having this new feature is vital for later stages in Space Run Galaxy as the difficulty will ramp up and will require some important decisions to help you survive the challenges that await players. There are many utilities and gadgets to help you in your job as a ‘space runner’ this includes laser weapons, explosives, repair stations, plasma cannons, shields, ship boosters and much more. Another aspect to gameplay is the goal of getting to your destination as quick as possible, Space Run Galaxy will reward the player with extra resources, XP or credits based on how quick you can deliver your cargo to a target destination.

Due to how Passtech Games have designed the game there are only a limited number of builds that will help you successfully complete a contract. This restricts much of the freedom within the game, maybe in a DLC we can get a challenge mode, albeit it is still much improved over the previous game’s limitations. Visually Space Run Galaxy is a colorful and cartoony with most NPC interaction being with 2D art but it is complimented with brilliant voice acting. Space Run Galaxy isn’t for everyone but there is enough content here. With an asking price of $19.99 USD, that there is enough to hold many people over and even interest people who are not fans of RTS or tower defense games. Unfortunately due to how the gameplay is designed some fans may not want to tackle the sequel this time round.

Gold Members now can get some recommendations based on their own subscriptions. I wouldn't compare the results to, say, the NetFlix Recommendation Engine, but it should help expose us to some scripts and plugins we may not have known existed.

It's a pretty simple "algorithm" (for the lack of a better term) that compares your subscriptions to other people who also subscribed to the same scripts and plugins. From there it compares those users' scripts and plugins to each other and, based on a percentage, returns any of them that are ranked highly.

I decided to limit this to Gold Members because it's rather database intensive.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing these issues but I'm having trouble accessing the website at the moment.

Going to see if I can contact some folks.

Database Errors

Today I came home to find out that a database error was injecting itself into download scripts and plugins, it was my error. When I began converting the site to allow plugins and scripts, without separating the two, I had to go through the code and remove the redundant code. Today I found a bit of code I didn't clean up and removed it. Turns out it was kind of essential.

My apologies to everyone but all is well.

Script Manager Numbers

Less than a month ago I re-released the Script Manager script under the new title Manage Scripts. It's the first script on the site to be available for a fee, I did this for a couple reasons. The first reason is to just test the waters, it only costs $1.29 (and not $.99 because google takes a flat $.30 per transaction), I've always been curious if people would pay for PlayOn Plugins/Scripts. The second is to give something extra to Gold Members, and it was originally only going to available to as a part of the upgrade. The total sales, added up, isn't amazing but about 30 people have decided it was worth it so far.

And, thanks to crawl9992, we have our first non script on the site, he added the TNT Plugin yesterday.

Figgy Pudding

The last few Christmas Eves, we've made this "figgy" pudding (really chocolate pudding) to have after our tradition of "Rum Tum Piddly" which is a silly name for potato soup in bread bowls. We also borrow from the Danish the tradition of hiding a single almond in the pudding (theirs is rice). Whichever lucky soul who happens upon the almond gets to open the first present of Christmas Eve. One of our tastiest traditions, to be sure.

Figgy Pudding
(sans figs)

2 cubes butter, softened
2 C. flour
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 C. powdered sugar

1/2 cup cornstarch
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 cups whole milk
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Combine butter and flour and press into bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes, til golden brown. Let cool. Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 the whipped cream, set aside.

For the pudding: Combine the cornstarch, sugar and salt in the top of a double boiler. Slowly whisk in the milk, scraping the bottom and sides with a heatproof spatula to incorporate the dry ingredients. Place over gently simmering water and stir occasionally, scraping the bottom and sides. Whisk often. After 15 to 20 minutes, when the mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of the spoon, add the chocolate. Continue stirring for about 2 to 4 minutes, or until the pudding is smooth and thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

When crust is cool, spread on cream cheese mixture. Pour pudding on top and spread evenly. Top with sweetened whipped cream. Chill til served.

Pudding recipe from Smitten Kitchen, all the rest from friend Laurel.

Cinnamon Honey Butter

This is what I am making to take to neighbors and the staff at the dental office. A loaf of yummy bread from The Whole Grain Bread Co. will accompany it. I knew I had to make the butter when the blog author said, "If you never try another recipe from this blog, TRY THIS ONE." Sold.

Cinnamon Honey Butter

4 sticks softened butter
1 C. powdered sugar
1 C. honey
4 tsp. cinnamon

Blend all ingredients thoroughly. Spoon into jars and give oh give away. Or keep it all to yourself, up to you.

Recipe adapted from here.

Lunchables and a menu

This is what we eat for lunch round here just about every day (or some variation of it). Lunchables, homemade style. Multigrain crackers, sliced deli meat, cheese, a veggie and a fruit. We all love it- if you ask my boy his favorite food he will say "peas open and crackers closed", because he likes me to open his snap peas and eat just the insides and he makes bite size sandwiches out of his crackers, turkey and cheese. This particular day, after the photo was snapped, he made a towering sandwich which included one piece of everything on his plate, including the orange. He stuffed the whole thing in his mouth and had us laughing for a good 5 minutes.

Here's whats for dinner at our house this week:

Sun- Mexican feast of tostadas with all the fixins, enchiladas, spanish rice, and cheesecake

Mon- leftover pulled pork, rice, zucchs and carrots

T- Corn chowder and whole wheat rolls

W- green chile burros, pineapple, salad, hot cocoa ice cream

Th- leftovers

F- tin foil dinners

Sat- St. Francis sounds good to me...

Southwestern Egg Rolls

This is one of my very favorite recipes. Amanda made these for a Sunday dinner back when she and Mason lived in Utah, and I was lucky enough to partake. They were so so good, and I knew I had to have the recipe.

I know the ingredient list looks long, but don't let that deter you from trying these. I usually make a big batch and keep them in the freezer. They are easy to grab and take to work, or perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. I've never deep fried them as the recipe directs. I will just bake, or sometimes microwave them, depending on how hungry I am.

Southwestern Egg Rolls

  • 2 Tbs vegetable oil
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half
  • 2 Tbs minced green onion
  • 2 Tbs minced red bell pepper
  • 1/3 c frozen corn kernels
  • 1/4 c black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 Tbs frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 2 Tbs diced jalapeno peppers
  • 1/2 Tbs minced fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 5 (6 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 quart oil for deep frying
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook chicken approximately 5 minutes per side, until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in green onion and red pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes, until tender.
  3. Dice chicken and mix into the pan with onion and red pepper. Mix in corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeno peppers, parsley, cumin, chili powder, salt and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes, until well blended and tender. Remove from heat and stir in Monterey Jack cheese so that it melts.
  4. Wrap tortillas with a clean, lightly moist cloth. Microwave on high approximately 1 minute or until hot and pliable.
  5. Spoon even amounts of the mixture into each tortilla. Fold ends of tortillas, then roll tightly around mixture. Secure with wet toothpicks. Arrange in medium dish, cover with plastic, and place in the freezer. Freeze at least 4 hours.
  6. In a large, deep skillet, heat oil for deep frying to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep fry frozen, stuffed tortillas for 10 minutes each, or until dark golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving. (Instead of deep frying, you can bake them in the oven at 425 degrees F for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.)

Chocolate Mint Cookies

I saw this recipe on Becoming Betty, and thought it would be the perfect dessert to take to my enrichment activity tonight. If you like chocolate and mint, then you will love these cookies. Delish.

Chocolate Mint Cookies
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/4 cups (2-1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Andy's Mint baking chips
  • 1 bag Candy Cane Hershey's kisses
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside.

2. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with mixer until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in mint chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake 8 to 9 minutes. (Do not over bake; cookies will be soft. They will puff while baking and flatten while cooling.) Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack and place a kiss on top.

Train Chart Preparation Time 2016 Indian Railways

What is a Train Chart and Chart Preparation time in Indian Railway?

Train Chart Preparation Time is usually 4 hours prior to train departure time.

Train chart is the list of passengers with all the details like passenger Name, Age, Gender allotted coach number, Seat number in the coach and Source station.

Collecting the entire booked train seats details and making a Chart with final status of all booked seats whether it is in Waiting list or Confirmed.

Once chart is prepared with all the details mentioned above, it is hanged at the noticed board in railway station and when respective train comes then chart is glued on every coach with all passenger details with their seat number in that coach.

Train Chart Preparation Time 2016 in Indian Railway

Chart preparation time depends on the train departure timing. Railway says Train chart preparation time is usually 2-4 hours before the departure of the train from Source station but in reality it does not happen.

You might have have noticed that when Check PNR Status of your booked ticket then there is a column called Chart Status having value either Chart Prepared or Chart Not Prepared. What does it means?

There are Two train chart preparation time in 2016

For Morning Trains and Evening Trains.

1. Train chart preparation time for Morning Trains:

For morning trains departs between 4AM to 11 AM, Train chart preparation time is previous day 8PM.

2. Train chart preparation time for Evening Trains:

For all evening trains chart usually prepares just 3-4 hours prior to train departs from origin station.

Also Read: IRCTC Cancellation Charges in 2016

What is the meaning of “Chart Prepared” and “Chart Not Prepared” ?

You might have noticed that whenever your ticket is in Waiting list or in RAC then it gets upgraded time by time. If you have WL 10 waiting list then after some time it may be in WL 9 this is because somebody might have cancelled their confirmed ticket as a result WL ticket reduced by 1.

Chart Prepared Means:

It means “list of passenger has been prepared by Railway for specific trains in Chart” and no more status as explained above will be updated for any PNR Number.

Chart Not Prepared Means:

Chart not prepared means that still there is a chance for few waiting listed tickets to be upgraded to Confirmed ticket.

What is Final Chart and Final Chart Preparation Time?

Final Chart:

On 12th Nov 2015 Indian Railway has made some changes in their Chart Preparation system, now chart will be prepared two times for each train.

Final Chart Preparation Time in Indian Railway:

Final Chart Preparation time is 30 minutes prior to train departs from source station.

As announced by Indian Railway, First reservation chart of train will be prepared 4 hours prior to train departure time from source station and Second/Final reservation chart of train 30 minutes prior to train departure time from source station.

Why Final chart concept came?

Indian Railway brought this concept for passengers to let them aware from the status/chances of the ticket to be confirmed 4 hours before train departs through First Chart Preparation so that tehy can plan their journey well.

Also Read: Premium Tatkal in IRCTC

Will booking be allowed after first Chart Preparation?

Yes, Booking is allowed after first chart preparation also. And you can book E-ticket online too after first chart preparation.

What is Hidden Quotas in Chart Preparation?

Internally at the time of chart preparation usually following two things happen:

In many of the trains there are “hidden quotas” available which do not allot until chart is prepared, once chart is prepared those available seats in hidden quotas are given to the passengers who have tickets in waiting list.

After chart preparation No more tickets can be booked for the concerned train. If your waiting list ticket got confirmed after chart preparation then you can look out for coach and berth allotted to you.

How Indian Railway’s Chart Looks Like ?

It is always a huge long paper joined together usually place at left to the Train’s main door. Which is mainly contains the Passenger Name, Old PNR Status, Newly allotted seat and couch number.

Below is the sample image of Indian Railway Chart please have a look.

  36. Sir, I have booked a ticket in train no 12630 with PNR no 2420351330. Till today morning it was showing W/L 5, since it’s urgent for me to travel I decided to go for Tatkal booking considering it would secure my travel. Unfortunately, the tatkal ticket got booked with W/L 2 with PNR no 2421373557. It has left me with more uncertainty, I was checking flights as well and was willing to take them considering the uncertainty but I’m unsure about refund rules. Can you guide me about the possibility arising out of the above scenario, whereby if none, one or both the tickets get confirmed and what best should I do. Kindly look into urgently as train leaves tomorrow morning itself.
