Lone Shark Games’ name has come up more than a few times over the years here at ARGNet. Some of those projects, like 2008’s Citizens of Virtue, which created a fictional megachurch to create an interactive morality play, were explicitly designed as alternate reality games. More often than not, though, the company’s projects trend towards […]

Starting on March 27th, a series of “Interdimensional Doors” were erected in cities across North America.

Almost a whole year had gone by since both Priscilla Black and Monique Bateleur had passed within the gates as first-year students although, in that short space of time, they had had several adventures that most people would never encounter throughout their entire life. After all, not every one had the perplexing experience of encountering extra-terrestrial creatures from somewhere far off in deep space beyond Canis Minor, The Dog Star.

Getting a job was as difficult as securing the old one. It was another experience entirely after working as Sales Executive in a bookselling firm and wanting to become an editor for a publishing firm. Actually Claude had a flair for editorials, so he had to experiment first as freelance editor while working as salesman. It was actually difficult to determine whether book editing could be taught (perhaps a B.A honors in editing would have gone a long way) or a matter of talent and experience could help, but Claude had this weird interest and inordinate desire to be called writer and editor

The intensification of mass recruiting for terrorist groups has emerged dramatically recently, and a number of intellectuasl seem very interested in joining those groups for different reasons.Amoung these are engeneers,medical doctors,etc… Let’s look at some concrete cases like the recent UK terror case.An Indian doctor was detained in Australia for questioning in connection with a suspected Al Qaeda plot to detonate car bombs in London and Scotland as he tried to leave the country.

BlackEagle Girls The first grey streaks of dawn were staining the east as the Black Eagle settled outside a ground-floor bedroom window of Monique's new home and the five girls drifted from the old tree house and slipped silently within. Gently Belinda and Narenda guided a nodding Surban to her bed and, after getting her into her night attire, settled her under the covers. In a matter of moments she was breathing deeply, her eyes shut fast, the bag that contained her secret treasure, still clutched firmly to her chest.

I have been folding my legs and my hands have been resting on my cheeks, vexed. I thought this rough road could be smooth the moment I tasted love, but I was wrong. I had missed an important point, that the end of one predicament is the beginning of another. I wish my life ended just there, where I smiled. I have no job. I have no money. I want to die now, before the twilight. I don’t know why, but I imagine the world of the departed is better.

In the beginning when there was no time, our land was in total ruin and desolated for full disobedience and condemnation. For the line between the living and the spirit was thing and transparent, but soon rivalry emerged and the contest was bent on destroying man- the most visible, the most articulate.

It happened during the World War at a small village in Dogon, Mali, about fifty kilometers to Timbuktu. Those years, Timbuktu witnessed a boom in salt trade, it was the major export via the river and the desert merchants coming from Niamey and Djibouti have had to reconsider their route, because export was faster using the river than Sahara desert. People came far and wide to trade in salt and millet.

One of the difficult parts about programming is to figure out how to add features but still keep the program simple and intuitive. Every feature added, by definition, makes a program more complex. In the extreme, you get what's called "feature bloat". Even if you only have simple features but, say, 100 of them, it becomes difficult to even find the one task among the hundred that you want to do.

So as I've developed my alpha version over the last couple of years, I've been trying to finalize the features to be in Version 1.0. Many ideas have come along. Many excellent ones have been suggested by trial users and purchasers of Behold. Every feature I have added is core to what Behold is about. Behold must first display all your data logically and conveniently. It must have useful reorganize functions. And it must be set up in a manner that will allow it to advance towards direct on-the-screen what-you-see-is-what-you-get editing in Version 2.0. Everything else must in some useful way support that core functionality.

I have in the last few versions eliminated whole swaths of code and functions, such as the separate Name Index form, the GEDCOM viewer, complex numbering schemes, and soon I'll be getting rid of the log file by incorporating the warning messages right in to the file sections of the Everything Report. All of these were done in a move towards simplicity and ease of use.

Sometimes I don't see the simple way to do something. I've been working with Behold for so long, the internals sometimes get in the way of seeing the externals. So please let me know if there's something that you think can be done simpler or more logically.

I am further inspired by a book I discovered a few days ago, called Getting Real, a book by 37signals about building software. If you're interested, you can read it free online. I purchased a PDF so I can print it and read and reference it at my leisure. Although Behold isn't an online application, everything else the book says felt like a mirror as to the way I'm developing Behold. The only thing I'm lacking, is that I'm taking too long.

So where have I been the last two weeks: I've finished the display of references to notes. This is tricky, especially since I display the note inline if there is only one reference to it, and in the index section if there is more than one. This is to handle the various flavors of GEDCOM which implement notes in different ways.

Exciting times for any genealogist are defined as what I'm about to be going through very soon. On one of the 9 ancestral lines I've descended from, this one tracing back to Romania, I soon may be working with a researcher in Romania to "get the goods" for me. Early indications look like there may be a lot of info available.

Not only that, over the last 5 years, I've been in contact with 3rd cousins I've never met who are in other branches of the same line. They have added their own research to what I have, and what we've all accumulated together now makes it possible for the next step. They surely will be joining this journey to enjoy finding out more about our common ancestral origins.

If only I had Behold version 2 ready so I can record all this as it comes. But since I don't, I'm going to do the next best thing. I'm going to create a webpage of our family in Romania that will look's just like Behold's HTML output. This page will serve as our group's master data sheet. But it will also serve as a model for Behold. It will also include pictures with descriptions that will be a prototype for pictures in Behold.

Here's the nice thing. Once Behold Version 2 is ready, that data won't be lost. I'll be able to enter almost all of it into Behold simply by copying and pasting from the webpage. Then it should just be a matter of linking spouses together and assigning them their children.

If I can make the process that simple, then editing in Behold will be amazing!

Yes, I had planned on going to Simple Forum. I'm still very impressed by it. But, I wanted to customize it to my site and change not only the appearance (which can easily be done through CSS), but also the content of what is included and where.

Unfortunately, although the PHP code is all available, it is very tightly written and is not easy to change. I'd have to be very much an expert at PHP to do it properly. And such custom modifications would make it very difficult to upgrade to future versions. I wouldn't want to get stuck at the current version.

So we hereby redeclare the winner to be bbPress. Works just like WordPress. It can also be easily extended by plugins, but more importantly almost all of it is easily customizable. I should be able to add some really useful features, such as showing you the topics you started and all the topics you participated in.

I commented last entry that bbPress was "primitive". Well, yes it is. But it is just starting to take off, and people are really getting excited about it and starting to turn it around. And as far as handling large forums goes, just check out the Wordpress Support Forum which has well over 600,000 posts already. It uses bbPress.

The one intangible I really like about it is that I can have it in its own directory called "forum", rather than under the blog directory as "blog/forum" or as a strange url such as "blog/?page_id=6" as Simple Forum requires since it is a plugin under WordPress. People on Unix boxes can use pretty permalinks and can change that, but on my Windows host, I can't.

I decided to completely reinstall WordPress and bbPress and start fresh. After all those databases I tried, I really gunged everything up and needed to clean it out and be sure it's all working. That only took a day and now I'm merrily customizing and integrating it into my new site design. Still not done, but its getting there.

Selling your truck or car privately is going to get you a lot more money than if you were to trade it in at a dealership. Depending on the area that you live in, there may be a lot of competition, though, of other people selling trucks that are similar to yours. If you want to sell your car quickly for the most money, there are a few things you should do. 

Have It Detailed

Before you go to take pictures of your truck, take it into a truck detailing company. These auto detailers will clean every part of both the inside and the outside of your truck to make it look like you just brought it home from the dealership. Not only will they shine up your trucks rims but they will also clean your center console to get rid of any dirt, food, and gunk that is trapped on top of it. By using specialty cleaners and vacuums, your truck detailing company will be able to get your truck a lot cleaner and more polished than you could on your own. Then, once it is detailed, you can take pictures of it that will look professional and when people come to test drive it, it will be super clean. 

 Take High-Quality Pictures

When people go online to look at truck listings, if they see a truck with poor quality photos, they may skip over it and look at the next listing. Take pride in your listing and take really good photos. Whether you use the camera on your phone or a professional quality camera, make sure that the lens is clean, that your truck is freshly detailed, and that you take both close-ups of the truck and detailed pictures of it as well.

Look At Comparable Prices

Once your car is sparkling clean and you have professional pictures taken, it's time to look at the pricing of other trucks. You want to make sure that your truck is selling for a comparable price so that you can beat the competition. If your truck has lower mileage and is in better condition than some of the other trucks that are for sale by owner then you can list yours for a little bit more. 

Having a freshly detailed truck is a great way for you to sell it quickly. When you show that you care enough about your truck to have it detailed, you are showing potential buyers that you have taken good care of it. 

Your vehicle drives the roads through all types of weather and dirty conditions, which can leave the outside of your vehicle looking gross and dirty. A dirty vehicle not only looks bad, but it also can lead to permanent damage to your vehicle that you cannot wash off in the form of scratches, hard water stains, and corrosion, especially if you live in a climate that has salt applied onto the roads to combat ice and snow. Here are some car wash services that you can look for to keep your vehicle clean and protected.

Do-It-Yourself Cleaning

When you want to use your own supplies at home to clean your vehicle, there are a variety of ways you can do so. Just be sure you wash your vehicle in the shade where it will remain cool. The heat of the sun can make the exterior of your vehicle so hot that it will cause the cleaner or water to evaporate and leave hard water and soap stains stuck on the exterior and paint. So look for a shady spot to wash your vehicle if it is hot outside.

You can use a traditional bucket of soapy water, a car wash sponge, and your garden hose to rinse the vehicle after scrubbing it clean. You can also invest in a water-less vehicle cleaning system that allows you to clean your vehicle with a gel solution and wipe it clean with a cloth. Or you can use a rinse-free cleaning system where your cleaning mixture of soap and water cleans and rinses the vehicle so you can follow up by wiping it clean.

Professional Hand Cleaning

When you want your vehicle to look magnificent but you don't want to put into it any effort, you can take your vehicle to a professional cleaning service center. They will wash, clean, and rinse your vehicle and even dry it by hand using high absorbency towels to give your vehicle a great-looking shine. They will focus on removing hard water spots from the windows and mirrors, and also take the time to clean off areas that a basic machine wash may miss, such as around your fenders and the tar spots that are picked up on your vehicle's side panels from road construction.

This type of service also includes washing and detailing around your vehicle's tires and rims to make them shine again. Then, if you want the interior of your vehicle cleaned out, they can provide a detailing service for the upholstery, vinyl, and carpeting.

If you have a pickup truck that you use for work, chances are good that you might not spend a lot of time washing and cleaning it. You might be too busy with work to worry about this type of thing, or you might not think that it's really worth it to clean your work truck when you know that it will just get dirty again. However, taking your pickup truck and having it detailed by a good detailing crew is a good idea from time to time for these reasons and more.

Maintain a Professional Appearance for Your Business

There is a good chance that you might have added decals, magnets, or a vehicle wrap to your work truck so that you could advertise your company's name and logo. This is because you probably want people to see your company's name and information, which can help with advertising. If you want people to look at your truck when you're driving around or when you pull into a client's driveway, however, you should know that the appearance of your work truck does matter. If your truck looks dirty and as if you don't take good care of it, it could reflect negatively on your business. If you have your truck detailed every now and then, you can help ensure that your truck gives off a professional appearance.

Avoid Getting Dirty Yourself

You might find yourself leaning on your truck when you're getting something out of the bed of your truck or when you're talking on the phone. If this is the case, then you might get dirty if you don't have your truck detailed. You probably want to feel clean and confident when you're meeting with a client or walking into a restaurant for lunch, and keeping your truck clean is one way that you can avoid getting dirtier than necessary when you're at work.

Protect Your Truck

If you don't clean the outside of your work truck, then you have to worry about the paint job being damaged. If you don't clean out the inside of your work truck regularly after working in it, then there's a chance that dirt and other particles could get ground into the carpet or the seats, which could result in permanent damage. You could find yourself replacing your expensive work truck sooner than you would like to if you don't take good care of it, but a detailing shop can help you keep your work truck in good shape for as long as possible.

If your truck is caked with dried mud on the tires, underside, and front, you may be dreading the cleanup job. If you have a pressure washer and know how to use it without damaging your truck, the job will be much easier if you use it rather than buckets of water or a hose. If you don't have a pressure washer or you just want to make sure your truck isn't damaged, call a pressure washing service to clean your truck. Here's what they can do.

Use The Proper Nozzle And Pressure

A pressure washer needs to be on the low setting so it doesn't chip paint or cause any harm to your truck. The low setting is still strong enough to deal with things like mud, oil, and other debris that's stuck on your truck.

Using the right nozzle is important too since a wide spray is not as intense as a focused stream of water. Using a low pressure with a wide-spray nozzle ensures your truck will get clean and not get damaged by water pressure that's too strong.

Select The Best Cleaning Products

One reason low-pressure works so well with a pressure washer is that cleaning products are also used to break up stains and oils. The pressure washing service can apply the cleaning product with the pressure washer to create a sudsy solution that sits on the truck for a few minutes to break up dirt so it can be rinsed away more easily.

Rinse The Truck Thoroughly

Rinsing is an important step in vehicle cleaning because a thorough rinse prevents streaks from cleaning product residue that's left behind. The service rinses your entire truck, including the wheels and front where bugs and oil from the road may be stuck on. They can clean the underside of your truck so no traces of mud are left behind and your truck is clean and shiny.

Wash The Engine Too

If you want the engine in your truck washed, the pressure washing service can do it at the same time. It's safe to pressure wash an engine as long as low pressure and a wide-spray nozzle are used. The service will probably use a degreasing cleaner too.

An important step in pressure washing your engine is to wrap all the electrical parts with plastic so they don't get wet. As long as they're protected, your engine can tolerate getting sprayed with water. The service may need to use a brush to scrub some of the parts so they don't need to use a higher setting on the pressure washer. If your engine is coated in oil and gunk, pressure washing it can make a big difference.
