Antibacterial Coatings Take a Tasty Turn
For the latest antibacterial coating advance, look no further than your kitchen.
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed new multifunctional coatings based on the sticky polyphenols found in red wine, green tea, dark chocolate and cacao beans, the Evanston, IL-based university said in a press announcement.

The team put the stickiness of plant polyphenols— behind the "astringency" effect some people experience when drinking red wine high in tannins—to work in a new way.
Polyphenols are naturally occurring molecules found in plants whose functions include structural support and defense against bacteria and oxidative damage, the researchers explain.
Tannic acid and pyrogallol—inexpensive compounds resembling the more complex polyphenols found in tea, wine and chocolate—were used in the coating development, according to the scientists.
The team's research, "Colorless Multifunctional Coatings Inspired by Polyphenols Found in Tea, Chocolate and Wine," was published Aug. 22 in the journal Angewandte Chemie.
Sticky Coating
Dissolving polyphenol powder in water with a small amount of salt quickly produces transparent coatings that have antioxidant properties, are non-toxic, and can kill bacteria on contact, the university reported.

The coatings could be used in the food processing and packaging industries.
The coatings can reportedly stick to virtually any surface, including Teflon, and are about 20 to 100 nanometers thick.
"The stickiness of plant polyphenols is behind the so-called astringency effect that people can experience when drinking red wine high in tannins," explains Phillip B. Messersmith, professor of Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science. Messersmith led the research.
"The tannins stick to, or bind, saliva proteins, producing the sensation of puckering and dryness.
"We've put this stickiness to work in a novel way," he added.
Numerous Uses
The potential uses for the coatings are numerous, including consumer, industrial and medical products, the researchers report.
Catheters and orthopedic implants to membranes for water purification and materials used in food processing, packaging and preparation were specifically mentioned. The university did not immediately respond to a request for more information regarding potential architectural uses for the coatings.
Baxter Healthcare and the National Institutes of Health supported the research.

A range of currencies slumped against the yen. There have been other short sharp shocks in the past in a market where daily turnover tops $5 trillion. But this time the gyrations were more widespread. Changes to the way banks behave mean sudden lurches will be more frequent.
A Japan Yen note is seen in this illustration photo taken June 1, 2017.
The yen surged against other major currencies on Jan. 3. Concern about the health of the global economy, particularly China, drove investors to the safe haven of the Japanese currency. Its rise gathered momentum after the break of key technical levels triggered more sales and forced investors to unwind some of the large bets they had previously placed against the yen.
The dollar fell as far as 104.10 yen, its lowest since March 2018 and 4.4 percent weaker than opening levels. The greenback was trading around 107.70 yen at 0850 GMT on Jan. 3. The yen also rose sharply against the traditional high-yielding currencies that are favoured by Japanese retail investors. These currencies include the Australian dollar and the Turkish lira.

Who doesn't love these sky-high lounges, where you can sip creative cocktails amidst stop-you-in-your-tracks New York City skyline views? No one we know. So, whether you're a tourist in search of bird's-eye panoramas of the Big Apple, or just looking for a fun spot to hang with friends, here are the best NYC rooftop bars (many of which are open year-round!).
The Skylark — Herald Square
With its floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you're never far from a fabulous midtown Manhattan view at the 30th-floor Skylark rooftop lounge. Sip wine and martinis on elegant couches as you snap photos of the surrounding skyscrapers, or, if you can tear yourself away from the view, play a game of pool.
What to order: The blue-cheese-topped sliders with sweet potato fries.

It's riding the wave of a tiki-bar comeback (The Polynesian tiki bar recently opened in Times Square).
What to order: The bar pays homage to NYC with its Poppyseed Bagel gin fizz, so why not give it a go?

St. Cloud Social Rooftop — Times Square
Even if you've seen the lights of Times Square it's hard not to be gobsmacked by the incredible views from the St. Cloud Social Rooftop lounge atop The Knickerbocker hotel, housed in a historic building on the corner of 42nd Street and Broadway. There's a large outdoor terrace and an even larger indoor area, so you can stop by any time of the year.
What to order: There's a festive atmosphere, with people heading to and from Broadway shows, so why not order a glass of Champagne?

Bar SixtyFive — Midtown
Bar SixtyFive has some of the most spectacular skyline views in all of New York City.

Public Hotel
Ophelia — Midtown

Northern Territory — Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Berry Park — Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Pod 39 Rooftop Lounge
Roof at Park South — NoMad
There are plenty of high-rises around this rooftop bar atop the recently renovated Park South Hotel, the newest addition to the Joie de Vivre NYC hotel collection, but the iconic art deco Chrysler Building gleams more brightly than all others. This is a great spot to enjoy classic cocktails, including martinis and Manhattans, as well as craft cocktails, such as the newly unveiled blue-hued mai tai and a yellow-colored Moscow Mule.

Thousands sign petition to stop changes to the Davis County Legacy Center
By Kyle Harvey 1590030640000
Thousands sign petition to stop changes to the Davis County Legacy Center (Photo: KUTV)
FARMINGTON, Utah (KUTV) —
More than 4,000 people have signed a petition in Davis County begging the commission to pump the brakes on changes to the Legacy Center, a large indoor arena in Farmington.
<="" sd-embed="">
Originally built for a rodeo during the Olympics, the center has hosted a variety of equine and 4-H events for nearly two decades.
Kaysville resident Brett King is heavily involved in the rodeo circuit, for adults and kids.
"There's a saying, you know, that the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a kid," he said. "It goes for adults or anybody."
King is upset the commission intends to pave over the center's large dirt arena with concrete to make it better suited for events like wrestling and gymnastics.
"The whole direction of that facility has moved away from horses, from animals, anything like that," he said.
Commissioner Lorene Kamalu said the county has approved a design study for the concrete work. They intend to finish the current calendar of events on dirt and then pave the area by the end of the year.
She says the decision was about money. Market demand for events on dirt has dried up. There's more opportunity catering to different crowds.
"A million dollars in the red every year is a significant number for us to consider as a county," she said.
The gap is funded by tourism dollars — taxes on restaurants and hotel stays.
King and other critics of the move say not all county facilities turn a profit. They feel the recreation space designed for horses appears to be held to a higher standard than golf courses, for example.
Kamalu acknowledged golf courses have up and down years — and do sometimes finish in the red.
"Something that's different about the county golf courses compared to this property is that they are enterprise funds," she said. "They are supposed to be a little bit different in their structure."
The center has temporary flooring now — thousands of panels installed for non-animal events and removed when it's time for the fair or a rodeo.
It takes about 200 man hours to flip the floor. Much of the labor comes from inmates at the neighboring county jail.
King and many others believe there's a lot of money to be made in rodeos and other equine events, but the county is simply choosing to get out of that business.
Kamalu insists the county isn't turning any equine groups away. She says the commission has had talks with the Utah State University Extension in Kaysville about building a new equine facility there.
"They've shown us a property there where they believe it can happen," Kamalu said.
Kamalu believes placing such a facility there would safeguard it from political debates of the future. She says past commissions have had a wide variety of ideas for the Legacy Center, including turning it into a car dealership.
King doesn't see why the county needs to build another campus if there's nothing physically wrong with the current one.
"It doesn't make sense for the county to spend money someplace else," he said.
Kamalu foresees an incremental build on the USU Extension following a feasibility study, with the outdoor arena in Farmington remaining open to horse events for the time being.

Globe Telecom has acquired Cascadeo Corporation in a US$4 million deal designed to expand cloud capabilities in the key enterprise markets of the US and the Philippines.
Terms of the agreement will see the Filipino telecommunications giant acquire "substantially all" of the assets of the US-based cloud consulting specialist, which includes Cascadeo Corporation and Cascadeo Partners.
Founded in 2006, Cascadeo operates as a Premier Consulting Partner of Amazon Web Services (AWS) in North America, backed by extensive managed services capabilities.
The business specialises in the deployment of automation, data analytics and cloud-native platform-as-a-service offerings, in addition to serverless infrastructure and programmatic security. In addition to AWS, key vendor alliances also exist with Microsoft and Google Cloud, alongside NetApp and VMware.
Cascadeo is headquartered in Seattle and maintains a Cloud Operations Centre of Excellence in Manila, which supports customers in the US and the Philippines.
"The joint venture with Cascadeo will further strengthen our ability to invent, innovate and experiment," said Ernest Cu, CEO and president of Globe. "We will be leveraging on Cascadeo's cloud-native consulting and managed services capabilities to further solidify our credibility as a cloud solutions provider for enterprises and small and medium business customers who are ready to digitally transform."
According to Cu, the deal aligns with plans to accelerate the development of technology capabilities and solutions at Globe, through providing customers with a "complete suite" of cloud-native products and services.
The aim is to combine Globe's resource pool and extensive reach in the Filipino market with Cascadeo's specialised expertise in cloud-based products, serving customers on both sides of the Pacific in the process.
"We're excited to have a partner like Globe in the next stage of our growth journey," added Jared Reimer, CEO of Cascadeo Corporation. "Their commitment to cloud-first and speed of adoption is rare to see in large organisations. We also admire that Globe has balanced achieving business goals by taking care of their people.

"We continue to be amazed by the talent of the Filipino workforce and partnering with Globe will be instrumental in helping us become an employer of choice as we broaden our footprint in the Philippine market."
Terms of the transaction state that Globe will incorporate new entities through which the acquisition will be made.
As part of the deal, Globe, along with Cascadeo, will also make follow up investments into the entities for growth capital to fund the company's expansion strategies. The full execution of the agreement is targeted in the next few months following the completion of regulatory approvals.

Let's look at three situations that tend to lead to irrational choices and conclusions.
1. Leaping to a decision.
Much irrationality results from simple laziness. "Jumping to a Conclusion" without taking the time to think things through. On the other hand, we all know people who analyze to excess.
When the cost of additional analysis exceeds the expected loss that may be avoided by such analysis (or the expected gain to be achieved thereby), it is time to stop.
A human can hold only a small number of ideas in his mind at one time…… When faced with a complex decision, a decision maker must use at least elementary principles of decision theory if he is to arrive at an optimal result.
Even the simple method outlined by Benjamin Franklin — writing down pros and cons in two columns on a sheet of paper — can greatly increase the probability of reaching a rational decision. More advanced techniques can be used to advantage in complex cases.
This well-known pillar of irrationality can be explained by reference to the principle of cognitive dissonance — the mental conflict that occurs when cherished beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new evidence. The tension aroused by this conflict is eased by various defensive mechanisms: denial, rejection, avoidance, and so forth.
The Pillars of Irrationality were suggested by a reading of Stuart Sutherland's book Irrationality: Why We Don't Think Straight (Rutgers University Press, 1995). Sutherland, a Professor of Psychology at the University of Sussex, reviews the mechanisms of irrationality in the light of recent psychological research.

The good news? We've also moved the talk idea submission deadline out by one week, too, so now you have until 11:59PM on Sunday October 11 to give us your pitch for a 5 minute, 20 slide burning talk idea that you want to share on stage at IP7. Put it to good use.
And from the looks of things at the moment, your chances of getting selected are pretty darn good. I mean, I know you have an awesome idea for an Ignite talk—but the odds are also in your favor.
So adjust your calendars accordingly, ignite fans. And we'll see you on November 19. Now put that extra week to good use and get your proposal submitted.


With the various updates to cabbage, are the cabbage examples changed or updated in any way? Similarly, does a particular VST that I create from one of the built in cabbage examples change as a result of a change to cabbage?
I guess Im more or less wondering if updates to cabbage change anything or simply the cabbage program itself.
It really depends on the update, of it's only a Cabbage IDE update then the VST won't be affected by the modifications.
With the various updates to cabbage, are the cabbage examples changed or updated in any way?
No. Unless we happen to find a bug, which is very rare.
Similarly, does a particular VST that I create from one of the built in cabbage examples change as a result of a change to cabbage?
No. Any VST you build should function just fine in the future. If not let me know and I will address the issue as quickly as I can.
thank you for the replies guys. Really appreciate it.


The Wellness suite and SPA located on the 6th floor of The Principal Madrid provides a holistic health and wellness experience for guests.
Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida the Valencia born painter who better than any other artist captured the unique light of the Mediterranean on canvas lived and worked here up until his death in 1923.
A sprawling precinct of 48 industrial buildings formerly used as a slaughter house and livestock market up until 1996 when it was acquired by the Madrid City Council and completely refurbished in order to become a contemporary arts centre.
Occupying this building on Arenal just off Plaza del Sol since 1981, Joy Eslava takes its name from the Eslava Theatre that was formerly located here.
The Caixa Forum cultural centre situated opposite the Prado Museum was designed by the renowned Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, a gravity defying refurbishment of a former industrial building that now accommodates temporary exhibitions managed by Obra Social "la Caixa" affiliated with CaixaBank, one of Spain's most important banks.
The Royal Botanical Garden, the entrance to which is adjacent to the Prado Museum is an institution that dates back to 1755 (in its current location since 1781) founded in order to exhibit plants and teach botany as well as promoting the study and classification of plant species.
Its full title is Hospital de Jornaleros de San Francisco de Paula, a precinct of buildings designed by the same architects responsible for the Palacio Cibeles, Palacios and Otamendi, to which is shares certain formal similarities.
The Free Educational Institution was founded in the 19th Century by a group of university professors under Francisco Giner de los Ríos (1839 – 1915), philosopher, educator and intellectual as a constantly evolving laboratory for new teaching methods, underpinned by a belief that society can be reformed through education.


I'm useless with money. I spend it as soon as I have it and I usually have nothing to show for it. It's the bane of my existence; I always want to mosey off for a week away in a cottage or some relaxing time in the sun, but I never have the funds. Saving money can seem like a real challenge, but I've come up with a few tips that are definitely helping me - and could help you too!
1. Practice the '30 day' rule.
This is a huge thing for me. I'm very impulsive with purchases and can often spend a considerable amount on something that I then never use. This rule means that I have to wait a month after first contemplating a spending spree to actually go through with it. If I still want it after the 30 day period has passed, then it's probably worth the investment. This process gives me time to see if the urge to splash out was just a whim, and helps stop me wasting money on spur of the moment interests. Obviously, you don't have to wait quite as long as I do, but even giving it a week before you hand over your credit card could save you money in the long run.
2. Find vouchers and discount codes online.
Everyone loves a bargain, and that's where VoucherToday comes in handy. This site collates all the best voucher and discount codes for companies like Sky, Papa Johns, Pretty Little Thing, Forever 21 and Last Minute, amongst many others! The process is so easy - you don't even have to sign up to get your hands on the best deals. The codes are updated daily meaning you get the most convenient and up-to-date access to the best prices. From fashion to food, entertainment to travel, VoucherToday has codes for loads of great companies and products, which is fantastic news if you are looking to make the most of your money when you're online shopping!
Recently I've seen a lot of people talk about how they manage to feed two people for a week on a budget I wouldn't have blinked at spending for just one meal. Yes, I definitely overeat haha, but it's more than that. I don't actually consider the purchases I'm making, which is foolish. To combat that (and to stop us spending £70-odd a week on food) there are some tiny changes that we're making, that have big results. Firstly, we stick to the supermarket's own version of foods - they're a fraction of the price and almost identical anyway. We also have been shopping around, heading to Lidl and Aldi to check out if the people who say they are excellent value were right (spoiler: they are). We've also been trying to catch the moment when reduced price foods are put out on the shelves. This week Blair managed to buy three days of food for about £3 which was very helpful! Take a look at your food-shopping habits, consider writing lists before you go, and see if you can save a few quid!
4. Swap or sell your old stuff.
I'm a hoarder and a bookworm. These are pretty incompatible unless I eventually want to live in a house made of books (don't tempt me...). Basically, I have a lot of 'stuff' hanging about that I don't use, and don't need, but keep anyway. I'm now practising a reverse of point 1 - if I don't use something for three months, and it doesn't bring any joy to my life, I need to get rid of it. Swapping things with friends is a great way of getting new goodies without forking out for them, or you can go the whole hog and sell your old belongings at car boot sales, on eBay or even on Depop (if you're brave enough haha!). I'm also making a conscious effort not to waste money on more stuff: if it's something I really need I check Gumtree or Freecycle to see if I can get it for free, and in the meantime, I'm becoming a massive fan of the local library...!
Those are some of the tips I'll be following this summer to hopefully save a few pennies and perhaps even afford a little staycation somewhere. Being a little bit smarter with money means I'll hopefully be able to do more exciting things in the long run! Let me know if you have any other tips for saving money, as I need all the help I can get!
What's your relationship with spending like? Do you love a bargain or are you more into flashing the cash?

Q: Data not showing in Kendo grid Mvc4 This becomes a very strange problem to me. from my sp i am returning like
 Declare @NewTable as table(ID bigint,
   LoginName nvarchar(500),
   Password nvarchar(200),
   FirstName nvarchar(50),
   MiddleName nvarchar(500),
   LastName nvarchar(500),
   UserPicture Image,
   Address nvarchar(1500),
   City nvarchar(100),
   State nvarchar(100),
   MobileNo nvarchar(50),
   LandLineNo nvarchar(100),
   EmailAddress nvarchar(50),
   DateOfBirth nvarchar(50),
   IsActive bit,
   Country nvarchar(100));
Insert @NewTable EXEC(@Query)
select ID,LoginName,Password,FirstName,MiddleName,LastName,UserPicture,Address,City,IsActive from @NewTable

Previously Addresss column written in last so Kendo Grid was showing blank but when i move it in between the Kendo Grid Showing data with adress column as well as.
Now whats happening that due to IsActive column Kendo Grid not showing when i removed IsActive column Kendo grid showing data.
when I adjust IsActive column in between LastName,*Middlename*  or so on... in my Query then Kendo Grid shows data.
so I believe that data type is not a matter.
This is becoming very tough for me that what actually creating the problem.
For more info Please see the link i posted here but didn't found answer
http://www.kendoui.com/forums/kendo-ui-complete-for-asp-net-mvc/grid/kendo-grid-not-showing-data-due-to-particular-column.aspx#boHoQq6aG2OF1P8AAFTdxQ

A: I am not sure whether you are still facing the issue or not, but I discovered, that JavaScript does not support long (Int64) in full. And even if you define your own converter to pass all longs to browser as strings, you will still face issues binding your model to Kendo UI. It looks like there are 3 options:

*

*To maintain SID field (string) in parallel to ID (long) and use SID in all front-end activities.

*To use OData and Web API (I did not try that yet).

*Not to use longs at all (possibly, unreasonable).

Qurbani & The Festival of Sacrifice
The Islamic Year 1441H
Eid ul-Adha is upon us once more, and this time of celebration presents us with an opportunity to make life a little easier for those suffering poverty and deprivation. The practice of Qurbani, which means sacrifice, has a long history within Islamic tradition. Reaching back to the time of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS), when Allah (SWT), in a dream asked him to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS), in his name. Ibrahim agreed to carry out the sacrifice, but Allah (SWT), pleased with his obedience, intervened at the last moment, swapping his son for a ram.
Eid Ul-Adha
The Festival of Sacrifice is the annual celebration that recognises this act of devotion and submission. During Dhul Hijjah Muslim's throughout the world sacrifice an animal – camel, cow, sheep or goat – with at least a third being donated to the poor or vulnerable, and the rest being equally distributed between family and neighbours.
Ibrahim & The Story of Qurbani
It all started with a dream that was ignored. Until it could be ignored no more. For the prophet Ibrahim's (AS) sleep was troubled by a recurring dream in which Allah (SWT) called on him to sacrifice his only son, Ismail (AS), to him. So great was the ask Ibrahim (AS) assumed it was the devil playing tricks with him.
But the dream would not leave him alone, and he came to realise it was in fact a command from Allah (SWT), that could not be put aside. Although he loved his son dearly, and the thought of what he must do hung heavy in his heart, Ibrahim loved, and believed in the word of his Lord, and so took Ismail (AS) to Mount Arafat to carry out the command. When there he explained to Ismail (AS) what had been asked of him by Allah (SWT).
These were difficult words to hear for one so young, yet, being a believer, and obedient son, Ismail (AS) consented, asking only that his hands and legs be bound to stop him struggling, and that his father blindfold himself so he does not have to witness him suffering.
Binding his son, as asked, Ibrahim (AS) brought forth his sharpened knife, and with it, carried out his difficult task. When all was quiet and still he removed the blindfold to find a dead ram before him. Not his son. For Ismail (AS) was by his side, his Creator having rewarded him for his devotion, and swapped his son with a ram.

Issue 179 – August 2021
Candide; Life-
by Beth Goder
Seva is waiting for Jal in the eggnog eatery where they had their first date. A moving rainbow of eggnog mini-cups streams past on a conveyor belt. She grabs a birthday cake nog, removing the cup from underneath the safety dome. The aroma triggers an access request in her microenvironment, which she grants. The smell of sugar, milk, and chocolate engulfs her. Even though she had cake for breakfast (leftovers from her nineteenth birthday party), she wants more. It's her policy that you can never have too much cake.
Seva sets her microenvironment to play the Overture to Candide on loop. The intensity of the first few measures is a roar that lifts her entire body. She conducts compulsively, her arm twitching in time to the music; she doesn't care who sees her. When the main theme comes in, that soaring melody that runs up against the frenetic pace of the whole but is never swallowed, her heart feels like it is transcending her chest. This is music!
The third time through, she makes an emotion capture.
::Candide; joy-
The capture isn't professional quality, not artwork or anything of value, but she's still happy she made it. It doesn't have to be good. Her use to society is in creating music, not emotion captures. That's how she claimed a spot at university. Musicians, her mother says, will always be needed, because digital mechanisms can't reproduce music with the correct level of emotion. Her goal is to become a symphonic percussionist in a city with a population of at least seventy thousand.
She reviews ::Candide; joy-. Clearly, it needs work. The capture contains her soaring emotions, and the Overture itself could never disappoint, but the sound of the eggnog conveyor belt is perceptible, and she neglected to imagine a visual. The eye view is simply the default blue.
I should just garbage it, she thinks. Send it to delete ops who will take it off her implants and her backup storage and hunt it down from any digi-worms that have already grabbed it, and maybe even pull it out of her perma-memory file if the rumors are true. But ::Candide; joy- contains this one pure moment, so for reasons she can't explain, she tucks it up into her nova-storage.
She swipes a spicy shrimp eggnog, and then a multicolored nog with the disconcerting title "best seeds." Forty minutes and five nogs later, Seva wonders if Jal is ghosting her, but as she's tossing her last cup into the dilator, Jal runs in.
"I've got to show you something," he says, without preamble or apology for being late. His hair sticks up like a wave, and his implants are set to make the tips glow. A fitted shirt hangs over precisely ripped jeans. He wears a ring on every finger, and two on each thumb. Real rings, not digitally imaged.
Seva wishes she had downloaded a new bracelet mod. He already saw the floating triangles when they jumped into the neon pond by Calooki Woods on their second date, but it's too late to change now.
He grabs her hand, which feels a little like listening to the first measures of the Overture to Candide. She pushes down her breath. "You're late."
He asks if it's cool if they go back to his workshop, because he wants to show her his newest sculpture. He's been working on it for months, and she'll be the first one to see it in its completed form. Her bracelet triangles shimmer all the way up her arm, responding to her spike of adrenaline. She digitally slams off the emotion mod, but not quickly enough. It's so obvious that her heart is pounding.
She triggers her auto-pay to settle her bill before they both dash out to the street.
They wind their way through downtown. Her microenvironment automatically blocks the smog. The city is like a chaotic percussion section, all crashes and footsteps and the staccato notes of voices, but she never mutes ambient sound. The city makes its own sort of music.
An art reveal is something special, even better than the night sky simulator they did for their third date, which was super romantic. She's only known him for three months, but maybe they have the potential to create something of value, like a relationship contract or a joint artistic project.
They hop into a transport pod. His hand is still clutching hers. She puts her head against his shoulder, and he slips his arm around her, bringing her into the intensity of his warmth.
Jal's workshop is jammed into one of the university's buildings, partitioned to the exact millimeter. Tools line the walls in neat rows. A scraggly broom rests in the corner. An orange couch is smooshed against the wall.
The center of the room is hidden by a privi-screen, the molecules jumping around so it's impossible to see whatever lies behind.
Jal picks up the broom, even though the floor is spotless. He sweeps imaginary dust, then sweeps again.
"Okay," he says, with an indrawn breath, pushing the broom back into the corner.
The privi-screen dissipates.
What lies behind it is a sculpture of a feminine arm. The limestone has been carved with precision. The hand stretches out, the fingers slightly curved—a beautiful portrayal of motion, made with skill and patience.
There is something that bothers her about this disembodied arm. Why has he chosen a female body part as the medium of his artistic expression? And, what's more, this arm is disconcertingly familiar, with its bent elbow. Seva looks down at her own arm. She bends her elbow. Is the sculpture based on her body? But how can she tell? An arm is an arm. It's not, on its own, a particularly distinctive limb.
Jal bounces on his toes, eager for her response. The need for approval is like a physical presence in the room, even though he tries to hide behind a nonchalant expression.
"It's amazing," she says, pushing aside her thoughts about gender and power and the choices of artists.
"That's not everything." He guides her closer, one hand on her back. She reaches out to touch the arm, which is so similar to her own. An access request pings. She gasps.
He's embedded an emotion capture within the sculpture. Gingerly, she allows the emotion capture to take over her senses. She expected something like ::Generic; happy- or ::Generic; strong emotional discovery-, but what she experiences is more. He's created his own emotion capture, built it himself, and embedded it into the sculpture. The experience is three quick breaths, aching sorrow, the hand reaching out to you, the hand that will never reach you. There is a lingering ghostly quality, which is enhanced by the visual of the sculpture.
Although she can appreciate Jal's effort, she can see the roughness of the piece. The transitions are shaky. The emotional resonance loses its force after the third second. It's okay, but not a masterpiece. Jal's no Salavonic, but who could rival ::Singular raindrop falls on back of wet bird- or ::Violinist collapses onstage-?
Seva comes back to herself, the residuals of the capture drifting away, until there is only Jal by her side, and the sculpture in front of her.
"I didn't know you were specializing in multimedia," she says.
He seems dissatisfied by her response. "I'm not. But the university allows for experimentation." He looks back at the sculpture, then at her, vulnerability twisting in his face, the beginnings of a fragile anger.
Quickly, she praises the piece, commenting on the merging of the physical sculpture and digital emotion, which she really did think was well done. Some critics would argue that reliance on multimedia diminishes the power of an emotion capture as an art form, but Seva thinks there is potential in these combinations. Creativity, she knows, often comes from the merging of two disparate things.
After his desire for praise is sated, Jal has a lot to say about emotion captures. They spend the next hour debating the benefits of sensory deprivation as a technique for emotional enhancement and geeking out about the work of Salavonic. It's the sort of conversation without pauses. They both have so much to say.
"I made something, too," Seva says, caught up in the enthusiasm of their conversation. "Not art," she adds quickly. "Just something I felt today." She pulls up ::Candide; joy-, debating whether she should share access.
"You make emotion captures, too?" Somehow, the timbre of their conversation changes, the excitement leaking out. Jal's voice is neutral, but she senses something behind it.
"Not art," she says again. "Just for fun." Maybe this was a bad idea. "Never mind."
"I want to see it."
She wants to explain that creating an emotion capture, for her, is like playing a string of sixty-fourth notes, which you can only do if you are concentrating very hard or not thinking about it at all. Instead, before she has time to lose her nerve, she sends him the access code to ::Candide; joy-.
His face, while he experiences the emotion capture, is animated with delight. This is a type of vulnerability, she realizes, this ability to see someone else having an emotional experience, even if the origin of those emotions come from without. She wonders what she looked like while viewing his sculpture, if her face twitched at the ghostly sadness of the hand reaching out.
When the emotion capture ends, Jal comes back to himself. Now the emotions flitting across his face are his own, and she can't read them. He is silent for too long.
"It's not art," she says again. "It's just how I feel. How music makes me feel."
"You shouldn't garbage it," he says. "I mean, there's some interesting stuff in there. It's not a terrible beginner's piece."
The words are like a blow, but worse is the shame she feels at her reaction. He's just saying what's true, what she's said to herself.
She forces herself to laugh. "The music is good, though."
"Yeah, it's a good recording." Jal pauses. "Have you shown this to anyone else?"
"I just made it this afternoon. Really quickly."
"I'm just saying this so you don't get hurt. Maybe don't let anyone else see it, okay?"
Suddenly, she wants him to see her doing what she's good at, her real art. "You should come to my concert this week." She pings him with tickets. "I have a xylophone solo."
"It's a difficult medium," he says. What she hears is: we can't all be artists.
It's three weeks before she visits Jal's work space again. It's a quick stop on the way to the dance plaza, where they're meeting some friends. In typical Jal fashion, he's left one of his projects until the last minute, so he needs to crank out a sketch of a vase in twenty minutes.
While he's working, Seva wanders the workshop. Her microenvironment keeps out the limestone dust. She avoids the arm sculpture, which still unsettles her, despite the beauty of those upturned fingers.
In the corner, there's a hunk of limestone, half-sculpted. She can't tell what it's going to be. Maybe a flame or a rooster. Jal once told her that sculpting is about removing the stone that isn't supposed to be there, bit by bit, until the true thing emerges. It's the opposite of music, which is about filling the silence with the notes that are meant to exist. She muses on this dichotomy in art—subtraction and addition, removal and creation, the full and empty spaces.
She touches the flame/rooster thing, and it pings her with an access request. Jal never locks anything in his workshop. With a start, she realizes he is creating another multimedia project. She shouldn't look in on this half-created thing, but she's curious.
The emotion capture that engulfs her seems to be a meditation on art, the path of the artist. The male figure, a sculptor, emerges in heroic form. Seva bites back a laugh. It's clearly meant to be Jal. His story is outlined in quick snatches of feeling—the struggle of the artist, the intensity of his craft, the complexity of his art. Is this really how he sees himself? The budding genius?
When the first notes of Overture to Candide play, all the laughter drains from Seva's body. The soaring emotion she feels is her own, distorted, thrown back at her. He's taken ::Candide; joy- and incorporated it into his emotion capture. Stolen it. Twisted it. Claimed it as his own. The male artist bows, full of glory, lifted up by the emotion of ::Candide; joy-.
She slams off the access point.
Jal is hunched over a stencil. His implants are projecting patterns onto the physical paper. The vase is coming along nicely.
"What is that?" says Seva. The rage in her voice causes him to jump.
"A vase?" he says, then sees she is pointing at the half-finished sculpture. With a wave of his hand, the stencils disappear. He's taken off his rings to draw, and his hands look strangely vulnerable without them. "It's not finished yet. I'm still tinkering." He doesn't even realize why she's angry.
"When I shared my emotion capture with you, that was just for you. Not for you to cannibalize into some narrative about yourself." She hadn't even known he was making a copy. This betrayal congeals in the pit of her stomach.
"Everything that happens to me fuels my art." He strikes the same heroic pose as the male figure in the emotion capture, ready to take on the role of the persecuted artist. Has he practiced this pose in the mirror?
"You took what I made. It's not your art." The moment crystallizes in front of her. What she says next is as much for herself as it is for him. "It's mine."
He snorts. "Do I have to give the stone credit, too?"
For the first time, she looks at him objectively—his stylized hair, the precisely ripped jeans, the commitment to living as if everyone should acknowledge him as a great artist. She chisels away at her image of him, until the truth emerges.
When she first showed him ::Candide; joy-, he was, she realizes now, angry. It's not that her emotion capture was especially good. It's that she dared to make it. She feels there is a part of Jal that wants her to crumple and shrink, like the stone he shapes.
She could take one of his precisely arranged tools and hammer the flame/rooster statue until it turns to dust. She could ask him to destroy the stolen emotion capture, but she knows that Jal will never be able to use it properly, and he'll never be able to reproduce anything like it.
Instead, she says, "Do you think you'll ever make anything of worth?"
This question, so invasive and piercing, causes him to flinch. It is the question all artists ask themselves in dark, quiet moments. At its core, unanswerable.
His mouth opens and shuts as he tries to gather himself enough to answer.
Seva instructs her microenvironment to block out his form, his voice. Suddenly, it is as if she is alone in the workshop. Whatever answer he gives is erased. One by one, she scrubs out his sculptures from her view.
Without another word, she leaves.
Seva spends two angry hours in the eggnog place, blocking out all outside noise from her microenvironment. She plays a game called "No More Cows," which requires her to roll a giant ball of milk droplets, picking up random items to make the ball bigger. The loss condition is picking up a cow. When she accidently falls into a pit of cows on the fifth level, she rage-quits the game.
Instead of starting another game, she pulls up Salavonic's ::Singular raindrop falls on back of wet bird-
A bird, huddled under fir needles, alive in heartbeats. The beat of rain. In the moment before flight, one raindrop touches the bird, working softly into her feathers. That moment before flight, this small life, so full of wonder, so close to death.
The practice room is quiet. With xylophone mallets in hand, Seva plays a recording of Overture to Candide. As she listens, she makes an emotion capture, the flow of the music interspersed with the movement of her life. When the xylophone part comes, her intense focus is matched only by the precision of her notes. She plays, swept up by the music. The moments of her life bleed into the work, creating an experience that is full of her memories and thoughts and feelings.
After, as she plays back the emotion capture, she realizes Jal is absent from her story. Excised, as if he never existed.
She doesn't know what to name this multimedia thing she's made, this emotion capture paired with music, so she finds a digital program to scan for a possible title. What comes back is this:
::Is our only worth in what we make?-
This is a question she's thought about for a long time, but it's not something she can answer. The program must have picked up on her thoughts.
She rejects the title. Instead, she makes her own:
::Candide; life-
She likes the simplicity of this title. The Overture to Candide itself is buzzing with life, but it's her life too that's interwoven into the piece, her thoughts and feelings, her perseverance, her doubts.
Exhausted, she pulls the xylophone cover over the instrument and places the mallets in her stick bag. Before she closes the emotion capture, she saves the file with her name. She hesitates, then, before she can lose her nerve, she uploads ::Candide; life-, sending what she's made out into the world.

I am here to make a difference: Ganguly after being appointed president of BCCI
Ganguly on Wednesday became the 39th BCCI president in Mumbai after serving as CAB president for four years.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly on Friday said he is here to make a difference but added that he asks himself sometimes whether he deserves all that he is getting, on the day he was felicitated by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) in Kolkata.
"Sometimes I pinch myself that am I really that good to get so much love and affection," Ganguly said after he was felicitated with a silver salver and bouquet of flowers.
Pressed for time nowadays, Ganguly said he never thought he would captain India and then also become BCCI president one day.
"I never thought I will captain India one day. Then CAB president and now BCCI president at the age of 46. I don't get much time now but when I sit with a cup of tea, all these come to my mind. What stands out for me is that I have been able to convince so many people that I am good enough."
"I don't have a formula. It is what I know best and what my heart says. I will do what is good for Indian cricket. It is a huge responsibility. When I finish, I don't want anybody to say cricketers are only good players and not good administrators," said Ganguly.
Thanking everyone at CAB for their support during his time as administrator, Ganguly went down memory lane saying he came at Eden Gardens with his father as a 14-year-old and from then on it was a dream come true.
"For me it's really special. For me it is an evening to thank all of you for being such a support in my career.
"I have been a difficult person to handle as at times I am my own man and I do what I feel is right. But with time I learned how to do things. Hopefully, we can work together. I've got a very young team and very rarely you have seen BCCI president and his team in the age of 30-40s.
"One thing I'm absolutely sure is that whatever time I'm here I will try and make a difference. I'm not going to sit and spend my time for people to say that "I was the BCCI president". I want to be a "BCCI president who made a difference", so I'll try and do that."
Ganguly had stated before taking over as the 39th President of BCCI that cricket administration in the country was going through an "emergency situation".
It was a tumultuous 33-month reign of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) and the onus of resurrecting the Board lies on him now after the image of Indian cricket took a hit following the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal.
The situation is not new to Ganguly though.
Ganguly was made captain of the national team when Indian cricket was going through its darkest hour in the wake of the 2000 match-fixing scandal.
Ganguly also highlighted that India have not won a world tournament for a long time.
"A cricket nation is known by the number of Tests and world tournaments won. It's pretty simple as sometime we complicate the game too much. We try to do things which don't exist."

Q: basic many-to-many sql select query I think this should be easy, but it's evading me. I've got a many-to-many relationship between Accounts and Account Groups. An Account can be in zero or more Groups, so I'm using the standard join table.
Accounts
--------
ID
BankName
AcctNumber
Balance

AccountGroups
-------------
ID
GroupName

JoinAccountsGroups
------------------
AID
GID

I'm using MS Access, FWIW. Also, this is for a low-bandwidth situation, so code optimization isn't as important as simplicity/readability.
I'm using php as a presentation layer, so a bare-bones result from Access is fine.
As for what to do with the multi-result situation, I actually have two things I'm trying to build. The first lists all the groups in one column thus:
Bank       AcctNum       Balance    Groups
--------|--------------|----------|----------------
Citi       930938        400        Payroll
HSBC       8372933       100        Monthly, Payroll
Wells      09837         800        -
Chase      8730923       250        Monthly

The second is a master-detail list:
Name          AcctNum    Balance
------------|----------|----------
Payroll (2)              500
  Citi        930938     400
  HSBC        8372933    100
..................................
Monthly (2)              350
  HSBC        8372933    100
  Chase       8730923    250
..................................
Wells         09837      800

For the master-detail, my plan was just to get a big result set from the db, and munge it in php as needed. Since there's going to be some significant post-processing in php anyway, maybe I should just do three separate queries and do the joining there. (Since I'm more comfortable with that language.)

A: This
SELECT a.BankName, a.AcctNumber, a.Balance, ag.GroupName
FROM (Accounts a
      LEFT JOIN JoinAccountsGroups jag
      ON a.ID = jag.AID)
      LEFT JOIN AccountGroups ag
      ON jag.GID = ag.GroupName;

Will select the data for the first table, however to concatenate the groups (Monthly, Payroll), you would need a User Defined Function (UDF), wich would not be available to Jet, so processing in PHP would be necessary.
You may wish to read Understanding SQL Joins. It refers to MySQL but applies to Jet, for the most part.

A: Another thought... why not use the Query Designer in Access. This should take about 30 seconds to design the "View". Then go look at the SQL it wrote.

A: SELECT act.acctid AS AcctId, bankName, acctNumber, Balance,
       NVL(jag.gid, '-') AS GroupID, NVL(gp.groupname, '-') AS GroupName
FROM accounts act
     LEFT OUTER JOIN JointAccountGroups jag ON (act.id = jag.aid)
     LEFT OUTER JOIN AccounGroups gp ON (jag.gid = gp.id)

NVL is a function that means "if first argument is null, return the second argument; otherwise, return first argument".  NVL happens to be how Oracle do it -- all DBs have something like that, but it doesn't have a standard name; look up how Access does it.

A: SQL Server uses ISNULL() for that purpose.  I'm not sure whether that works in Access.

A: Yeah, I'll use the presentation layer for the NULL.
But I must be missing something. I'm getting the same error from yours as from my original attempts:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(act.id = jag.aid)
                  LEFT OUTER JOIN accountgroups gp ON (jag.gid = gp.id)'

A: How about:
SELECT act.acctid AS AcctId, bankName, acctNumber, Balance,
      jag.gid AS GroupID, gp.groupname AS GroupName
FROM accounts AS act
     LEFT OUTER JOIN JointAccountGroups AS jag ON act.id = jag.aid
     LEFT OUTER JOIN AccounGroups AS gp ON jag.gid = gp.id

Does this give you an error? An error that is easier to figure out perhaps?

A: I think in Access you may want to try something like:
FROM (accounts AS act
     LEFT OUTER JOIN JointAccountGroups AS jag ON act.id = jag.aid)
     LEFT OUTER JOIN AccounGroups AS gp ON jag.gid = gp.id

I don't know why the parenthesis matter, but I tried a test with that and it seemed to fix it.

A: Another Try:
SELECT act.acctid AS AcctId, bankName, acctNumber, Balance,
    jag.gid AS GroupID, gp.groupname AS GroupName
FROM accounts AS act
   LEFT OUTER JOIN JointAccountGroups AS jag ON act.id = jag.aid
   LEFT INNER JOIN AccounGroups AS gp ON jag.gid = gp.id

Access might be having trouble with the two OUTER JOINS so I made the second one an INNER JOIN which should work

A: Not only use the query designer as suggested earlier, but also use the MS Access relationship tool to record the relationship between the two foreign keys (AID, GID) and the primary keys they reference.
This makes doing natural joins in the query designer almost child's play.  You can even use a query wizard in the situation you outlined.
Once you have the query built,  why not use the query as a record source instead of using the tables?
The one thing I would do in PHP would be converting the multiple results into a comma separated list.


WooCommerce vs. Magento Infographic. Excellent work!
All the way Magento! It is the powerful, robust, fully customizable solution for ecommerce solutions. And the most important point is the Magento Community. The members of Magento Community are always powered up to help you with any Magento related query. This is something beyond the expectations that cannot be found with any other ecommerce solution available in the market.
Thanks Fayyaz for the personal feedback. Besides the community and support behind Magento, what would you say is the best feature of Magento compared to WooCommerce?

Q: How to load an initial value (and select it) in an Ajax controlled slim-select? I'm migrating my rails app from select2 to slim-select.  I have a select menu where a user selects their location for the day, and that menu loads pre-selected to the location the user saved yesterday.  If their location changed, they can use the search bar to search for their new location (loaded via Ajax).  This was easy in select2.  But, in slim-select it is not easy.
I find that loading any select options on page load actually causes slim-select to fail loading from Ajax.  Whatever option(s) exist at page load are the only options available.  However, if the options are set as [], then slim-select will successfully make an Ajax call and display filtered locations.
I'm hoping to get some help getting slim-select to load with an initial selected value, that can be changed using the search/filter if need be.
Here is an associated issue at slim-select that is exactly what I'm after.
Thanks!

A: Downgrading slim-select to 1.26.1 solved this.  Not a great solution to downgrade, but that's what it took.  This gem seems a bit stale lately (currently 60 open issues with no or little involvement from maintainers).  It seems like the best option for a non jQuery based searchable select....hopefully, the future is bright for this gem.

Alignment before camber kit install?
My friend is helping me install a camber kit. He said I need an alignment before he can install it? For the degrees? Will a front only alignment suffice or what do I do? Also what do I ask? For the degrees and stats? Or something?
Re: Alignment before camber kit install?
For f k sake, how many times do we need to say this? YES, get a full four wheel alignment before fitting a camber kit! After the alignment you may even find that you don't need the kit. Either that or you'll find that you do, but at least the geometary will be correct.
I've been told that the Prelude doesn't really need a camber kit.
i droped my lude 2" and had to get a camber kit because i was out like 3 degrees. most people say if you go 1" to 1.5" you most likley won't need a camber kit.
While technically a double wishbone suspension system shouldn't need separate camber adjustment, it's common practice to fit one after major suspension work is carried out, like for instance slammage. Also note that the system is designed for the wheels to be in a certain place, when we lower the car we move that base location up, therefore altering all the geometary. Some have needed to fit a camber correction kit, others have not.


Please Note: This pattern has errata - if you purchased it before 10/09/2012. The corrected version is available in your pattern library.
Camas Lily is a fitted cardigan with cropped sleeves workedseamlessly from the bottom-up with an undulating twin leaf motif. Increases and decreases are worked on either side of the leaf motif to give the appearance that it is undulating across the front of the cardigan; starting from the side, it undulates towards the center front and then back to the side and across the shoulder during the raglan yoke shaping. Pattern is sized from 30" / 76 cm to 60" / 152 cm bust, with sizing increments as appropriate and waist shaping to ensure a flattering fit.

Reviews: Armored Core Verdict Day (10/10)
Hardware: PlayStation3, Xbox 360
In the case of Armored Core's history as a series, each major shift in functionality has met with a follow on title that polishes and improves the original setup. Sometimes these are just general changes but occasionally they coalesce into something truly great. These games have also normally been the best of that era. Titles like Master of Arena and Silent Line for instance marked the pinnacle of the previous two console generations.
Verdict day is a direct continuation of the previous game and utilises much of the same inherent structure, both for the expansive multiplayer but also the campaign. What's different are all the substantial low level changes as well as all new systems that sit atop them. It's quite frankly the best mecha game we've played this console generation.
The game is set a considerable period after the events in the last game. The world has changed quite a bit, resulting in three main factions; Venide, Sirius and Evergreen Family partaking in the Verdict War. The planet is also still pretty much an environmental wasteland. Narratively there's also a lot going on here. Previously in other Armored Core games the lineage and backstory has been gently inferred, at least in the Japanese releases (much of this was always lost in the foreign translations sadly). In Verdict Day there are very direct references to events in For Answer as well as dovetailing with the original Armored Core games back on the PSone. In short, Verdict Day has unified the story across sixteen years of Armored Core and done it very deftly too.
With that in mind, what's interesting is how streamlined the campaign is now. Whilst you still have story and order missions of a sort, the story missions are far shorter and simpler but the order missions can be a bit more involved. Overall, you end up with a more coherent flow for the missions. The campaign is also much more challenging, much of this is down to the all new AI as it's really quite ferocious.
This is probably the biggest and most important addition to Verdict Day, the new UNAC AI setup. This allows players to create an AC and then plumb in all manner of AI commands into it. This isn't a basic barebones system either, it's practically a game in its own right and eclipses even games like Carnage Heart in its scope. Once completed, a UNAC is a powerful ally or enemy. You can use them in the campaign as well as online and they are formidable entries to any battlefield.
The online setup has also been greatly improved too. From the much welcomed merging of the US/EU servers to the fixes to stop boosting (amongst many other things). The latter was when people created two teams and faced each other and had the other quite, "boosting" the remaining team's stats. This was a real issue with the last game and has been curbed by not awarding any points to either team. Following on from that, the conquest system has been overhauled. Completing normal sorties will unlock a special, these special sorties can either be big team based face-off or a boss fight (depending on what's available at the time). Rolling the boss fights into this setup, makes them feel more worthwhile rather than the incongruous approach in the Western version of the last game.
Special sorties are heavily weighted, if you win you raise your team's rank and if you lose you are suitably penalised too. The interesting thing now is that due to the increased server size you're likely to face human opponents pretty regularly (both on normal and special sorties). Couple that with the faction system, where each team can pick one of the factions in the Verdict War, really adds a nice layer of progression and makes us feel that this is what the previous game was meant to be in the first place.
Much of the game's complexity is also explained with an in-game manual. Admittedly this is a pretty weak concession from a design standpoint but it's better than not having it at all, especially for newer players who will inevitably feel quite overwhelmed in places.
Visually it's also looking a tad dated now, as the engine is getting a bit long in the tooth really. Whilst the framerate is much more consistent on all versions of the game, the textures and environments in general are really quite bland. Naturally, the mecha all look pretty damn great but it would have been nice to have a bit more visual variety as per the last game. Oddly though, this game has far more environments to play in but very few of them are overly memorable.
So with all this it's strange how the game's release been handled outside of Japan. In short Bandai Namco have almost gone out of their way to bury Verdict Day. This is very odd, as the game has released in the West before in Japan (a first in the series' sixteen year history). They even got some decent English voice actors this time around as well, with the likes of both Cam Clarke and Nolan North making appearances. Admittedly the translation is still pretty bizarre but that's nothing new really and even with this the important narrative beats have thankfully remained intact. So it's bizarre that the game hasn't had any real support and released alongside a swathe of other very large games.
Overall then, this tangibly improves many aspects of the previous game and does try to be a bit more accessible as well. It's only a shame that it wasn't sufficiently supported outside of Japan in terms of its release. As this is probably one of the best Armored Core games ever made.
Tamashii: 10/10
Final Mission »
All versions of the game have been played, with negligible framerate differences between the PS3 and 360 releases. As for server regioning, the US and EU share one server whereas Japan has its own. Separately, the 360 US/EU version of the game is region free.
Nicholas Perry said on 10-10-2013
Shame they released it at such a poor time with basically no advertising.
It'd be amazing if they ported AC games to PC, i'm sure they could have a healthy fanbase on places like Steam. Plus it would allow them to ship with better textures and better framerates.
Justice said on 17-10-2013
You are right, my man. It's a shame they probably won't port any of them eventhough there's healthy demand from the fanbase due to costs & all that money crap that the publishers(BAMCO) are only interested in. Still there's Titanfall to look forward to in PC. I will definitely be playing that, provided the developers stop giving that asinine "it's not a mech game" nonsense when asked by fans…
Obiyer said on 11-10-2013
Thanks for the great review as always. One thing I noticed is not a lot about the mechanics is gone over, such as, is there still that three armor system? And I noticed in V there was a bit of a grind for parts, were you'd do the same mission over and over again just to get the money to buy the parts. Is there anyway you can post a version of this on the Amazon.com (the USA portal) or somewhere? Please take a look here, there's a review on the game that seems to be from a new player of the franchise: http://www.amazon.com/Armored-Core-Verdict-Day-Playstation-3/product-reviews/B00DNGQQS8/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1.
I'm worried that it might put off people interested in the series, I wanted to post a response but I'm not as familiar with the series as some folks and haven't picked up VD yet.
Greg said on 11-10-2013
OH NO, A BAD AMAZON REVIEW! ARMORED CORE IS DOOOOOOOOOOOMED.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't want to see the series get killed off outside of Japan as Cacophanus was hinting to in his post a few days back due to Namco Bandai's behavior.
Greg Bryant said on 12-10-2013
You do realize Armored Core has generated a metric **** ton of bad or at the most average reviews in it's decade long existence and has somehow consistently broken even enough to warrant another sequel and localization,right? One poorly structured Amazon review is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
AC is pretty much unassailable much like Dynasty Warriors since it's particular mix of Gran Turismo cum mech action is oddly enough extremely rare even in the Japanese market, no matter how terrible the game or low key the release people have few alternatives to it and as such AC thrives and always will.
That's a good point, I didn't look at the situation like that. It worries me a little because it already has a $10.00 USD price drop so close to release, and it released at a lower price point to begin with rather than other new games.

I've never played an AC game, is it worth getting this one as my first¿ Given that it's old the online is probably empty but I'm more interested in the single player modes.

Singleplayer was involved in the previous game, as there were fewer longer missions. That said, the singleplayer is more varied here. This is also not a heavily scripted singleplayer campaign though.

Why do i always meet in web crazy fans of AC4/fA who say that V and VD are "pointless turd" and call me "shit eater" when i say that VD is best game in series for last 10-12 years? Those guys also wears anime avatars and hate Dark Souls 2. Is there a pattern ?

As someone who played the third generation games before moving to the fifth, I agree with them.
