EOF - Commons Interests
On a cold February morning in 2009, I noticed beautiful ice patterns had formed overnight inside our apartment's storm windows. Some looked like corners of snowflakes. Some looked like trees. Others looked like feathers. Naturally, I shot pictures of them. Later I put the photo set up on Flickr, tagged the images generously and gave them all a Creative Commons license meant to encourage their enjoyment and re-use. That license happened to be Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic.
The decision to use that license was not a highly considered one. It's a default I chose back when I started uploading photos in 2005. On the whole, this has worked very well. For example, as of today, I have more than 34,000 photos on Flickr, more than 130 of which appear in Wikimedia Commons, and most of those also show up in Wikipedia. If you go to the Wikipedia pages for Boreray Island, San Gorgonio Mountain, Sarah Lacy or dozens of other topics, you'll find them illustrated by photos of mine, through no additional effort of my own.
I see this as nature taking its course. I am as generous with my photos as trees are with leaves in autumn, and I wish to exercise the same level of control over how they are used. I create them for the commons. Alas, while Creative Commons does offer public domain tools (http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain), Flickr doesn't leverage those. So instead I go with one that I hope will encourage re-use going forward, as well as credit back to myself—and to other creators, if any are involved.
Not that I mind making money. Over the years since I started posting on Flickr, about $400 has flowed my way, all in the form of voluntary payments for one use or another. Still, that's not my purpose in putting the pictures up there. My purpose is making them useful. To anybody.
In November 2009 one of those anybodies turned out to be Mark Levy, VP and Creative Director for NBC Sports, writing to say the network would like to use some of my winter ice images in graphic backgrounds for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Since text already would be running over those backgrounds, he asked permission to waive the license details and handle attribution by listing me in the credits as a member of NBC's design team. I said that was fine and didn't give it more thought until the Olympics started running. To my surprise, my ice photos served as framing elements for all kinds of stuff: talking heads in studios, features about athletes, titles of events and settings, and text running below the action on ski slopes and toboggan runs. It was not only fun to watch, but also to feel a sense of participation in a good cause that transcended the commercial interests involved. In other words, I felt honored, not exploited.
Some concern was raised, however, close to home—at Harvard's Berkman Center, where I have been a fellow for the last several years. Creative Commons was born at Berkman, when Lawrence Lessig was there around the turn of the millennium. One of the other fellows at Berkman, Herkko Hietanen (who wrote his doctoral thesis on Creative Commons) saw a potentially interesting problem with NBC's use of the photos. In his blog at MIT's Communications Futures Program, Herkko wrote, "...there is a legal side to the story that could have wreaked havoc. What NBC's designers may have missed was that the license Doc Searls used did not only require credit but also that the adaptations made from Searls' photos share the same license terms." Later he added, "The exact amount of the material that would be affected with the ShareAlike term is unclear....To make the matter even more complicated, NBC does not own and can't license out many of the copyrightable elements that are shown on the screen next to the background graphics. There is no doubt that NBC never wanted its crown jewels, the Olympics, to fall to any royalty-free licensing scheme." Herkko also noted that NBC and I were both satisfied with our agreement and added this response from Creative Commons VP Mike Linksvayer: "NBC's extensive use of Searls' photos, and Searls' happiness for that use, demonstrates the power of Creative Commons licenses as a means to signal openness to collaboration, even if the resulting collaboration does not occur under the terms of the license originally offered."
But that didn't sit well with everybody either. On my blog, one commenter wrote, "Wow. Nice of you to give a corporation something worth a few thousand dollars for free, without even having them abide by the share-alike clause of copyleft!"
I still don't know what I should have done differently here. I believe in cultivating a culture of sharing, mixing and remixing. I also want to help Creative Commons push forward its pioneering work in copyright and reform. To be safe for now, I'm moving my photos on Flickr to a simple attribution license. But I'm also open to suggestions—for all of us.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?

As the summer begins to wind down and thoughts of Autumn come to our mind, the Harvest is one of the themes. I bet you're thinking I'm going to highlight Union Square's immensely succesful, Harvest in the Square, right?!?! Nope… I'm talking about Sukkah City – NYC 2010.
The sukkah is a temporary structure, outlined in the Bible, to share food, drink and entertainment. Only Sunday, September 19th through Tuesday September 21st, 12 radically temporary structures will be built in Union Square!
Should be a very interesting event – I hope you come check it out!

SOURCE: eReflect Pty Ltd
eReflect, the well-known e-learning software company, recently discussed the results of a 2012 study on learning tools. In their news release, the development team behind Ultimate Vocabulary pointed out that effective tools take into consideration the students', and not only the teachers', point of view.
New York City, NY (PRWEB) February 12, 2013
In a news release discussing teaching strategies and the importance of adapting tools to student's needs, eReflect, the company behind the Ultimate Vocabulary software system, urged teachers and other software developers to keep the views of the end users and students in mind. The thrust of Ultimate Vocabulary's advocacy is to challenge teachers to reshape their syllabus and lesson plans according to how students view the task of learning a second language, such as English. Because the language is foreign, much more diligence and perseverance is required by both the teacher and the learner in order to make the endeavor a successful one.
A study published on January 2012 in the International Refereed Research Journal supports Ultimate Vocabulary's belief. In this study, the problem that was focused on was how despite the fact that there are 11-13 years of English instruction provided in Malaysian schools, there are still some students that fail to master English as a second language. Using purposive sampling to gather 46 respondents - all graduates of a Kota Kinabalu, Sabah public secondary school - the study made use of the popular social media site, Facebook, to gather data.
The respondents answered the queries of the researchers through a dialogue journal posted as on Facebook, which also allowed them to give their input on the answers of the other group members. The results of the study provided a fresh perspective on why some Malaysian students still find it difficult to learn vocabulary in English. A large part of the problem turned out to be a deficiency on the part of the teacher to shape their methods to the capability and needs of the students.
As Ultimate Vocabulary's Managing Director Marc Slater noted, "Not all of the students have the same capacity or inclination to learn English in a set pace. Some students get an improved vocabulary faster than others, while others get left behind." Among the reasons stated in the study for why some students find learning vocabulary in English difficult, the research cites the following: the speed at which the teacher speaks; the vagueness of the words used in communication; or lack of adequate explanation in the student's native tongue. The study even identified a problem in the simple fact that some students view English only as a subject that they must pass in order to move on to the next year level.
As a challenge, Marc Slater reiterates that it's not always only the students who must make an effort in vocabulary improvement. "It's just as important for the teachers to reassess their approach when it comes to teaching language. Our company's vocabulary software should be able to provide that much-needed supporting tool for the teachers as they set out to be better educators of English as a second language."
This is in line with the conclusion of the study, which found that "teachers should take the initiative to ensure their teaching plans are effective while students' learning becomes meaningful through a myriad and mixture of teaching methods to cater to a majority of the students' learning styles and preferences."
In this case, "practice makes perfect" applies both to students and teachers.

That´s possible, I don´t know. Yet even if the japanese texts could have been stored in space-consuming characters the English translations still did not fit in the same space and had to be cut. I remember there being an article about the leaked Final Fantasy II-prototype, where one of the guys responsible explained how hard it was to squeeze all neccessary info from the original japanese text into the English translation.
When I asked on romhacking.net about this topic (whether size restrictions really made a difference for English translations) I was also told that accurate translations usually take up about 50% more space.
Game devs did not usually waste space on their ROM-chips; they used the smallest size possible to save money. The texts just had into what was left after graphics, sound and game logic were done.

THE BURIAL. By Courtney Collins.
Allen & Unwin. 288pp. $27.99.
Reviewer: FELICITY PLUNKETT
''If the dirt could speak, whose story would it tell?'' One of the first questions posed by the narrator of The Burial, these words frame a meditation about the disintegration of bodies and the patience of dirt because ''Eventually, teeth and skin and twists of bone will all be given to it''. This ''lesson of dirt'' is one the narrator has learned during a single day of life. The narrator remembers the day's squall and rain, and Jessie, a mother tasting of rust and death, furiously digging in the dirt where she will soon bury her baby.
The unlikely narratorial premise of a buried narrating baby is fraught with dangers, so it is part of the wonder of this debut novel that Collins generally evades them. And since the story centres on Jessie's reckless courage, her many evasions, and those who track them, this narrative strategy seems apt. The buried child tracks the story of a lost mother from beneath the land, while Jessie, a character based on the bushranger Jessie Hickman, shifts and flees across the landscape.
At first the child hopes for the love of its mother, but her only gentle words occur when she slits its throat. From here, the narratorial voice pursues Jessie, comforted by dirt but ''tormented and longing for all and everything around her''. One of the novel's three epigraphs is from Pablo Neruda's Tonight I Can Write from Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair: ''My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.'' The unnamed, murdered child becomes a voice of longing that somehow has the capacity to know and remember ''all and everything'' about its murdering mother. It contains the soul's dissatisfaction and the scope of a narrative spoken to break through imposed silence. It collects and articulates the longing of all who pursue Jessie, developing its omniscience the further she retreats.
It remembers Jessie's birth, and the love of her father Septimus, the abundant preface to a life of loss. It recalls the deaths of her parents and her time as a circus performer, then the various forms of entrapment she experiences and evades. The worst of these is an arrangement with the baby's father, Fitzgerald Henry, to whose care as guardian and employer Jessie is entrusted after a spell in jail.
The narrator interleaves this history with images of Jessie's present, fleeing the murder of Fitz and his child. Shadowing Jessie, too, is Jack Brown, also employed by Fitz to steal horses. Jack loves Jessie and his silent pursuit of her counterpoints the child's noisy stasis.
The novel combines its historical narrative with these experiments. While on the surface The Burial resembles a dominant strand of Australian fiction concerned with re-imagining historical figures and events, its oddness and lyricism place it closer to recent novels that probe and query the possibilities of historical fiction. The Burial exemplifies historiographic metafiction with its doubt and occlusions. The vociferous murdered newborn, along with a key narrative coincidence, keeps ideas of artifice in focus.
And because dirt is made to speak, in this novel, layers of story and the idea of what remains become its focus. The narrator contemplates ''layers upon layers of fossilised things and rotting matter'' that criss-cross the way characters do above ground. None of these meditations slows the narrative. The story of Jessie's adventures, many in the company of her horse Houdini, builds to a portrait of a resourceful and energetic woman. That the portrait is her child's creation reminds us of the elisions this entails. One of these involves another child imagining himself abandoned by Jessie, and later faced with the question of her capture or recapture.
Somehow, more poignant that the child's expression of longing, it is other characters' balancing of loss and recuperation that give the novel its resonance: Jack Brown's mute and loyal pursuit of Jessie through the bush, an elderly woman's shrine to the babies she has miscarried or delivered stillborn and the glimmer of hope in a cross-dressing girl told by Jessie that she must call herself whatever she wants to, whatever feels true.
Collins' novel was short-listed for the 2009 Australian Vogel Literary Award, a year in which the prize was shared by Lisa Lang's Utopian Man and Kristel Thornell's Night Street.

I hope Estee Lauder never quits making this perfume. It's been my favorite for 35 years. The other review writers are correct in that everytime I wear it someone will ask what the name of it is. It's very strong so don't spray to much. A 1 oz. bottle lasts a long time.

Simonton is retiring Jan. 1, after 27 years as Probate Court judge.
"Serving as your Probate judge has been one of the honors of my lifetime," he said. "To love what you do and feel that it matters — how could anything be more satisfying and rewarding?"
Simonton said, "What an honor it has been to come to work every morning in the Probate Office. I feel that we have been able to help many people during difficult time in their lives."
He also commended and thanked those who served on his staff over the years — Jan Hunt, Pat Wilkerson, Chuck Whatley, Carol Conkle, Jean Whalen, Susan Fennell, Linda Gilbert and Audrey Swain.
"I want to express my utmost confidence in our new Probate Judge Jan Hunt," he said. "I feel she will do an excellent job for the citizens of Spalding County."
Simonton also offered his assistance "to the city and county in whatever way it may be needed," and announced his plans, after his retirement, to petition the governor for appointment as a senior judge of the Probate Courts of Georgia. He explained under state code any judge of a Probate Court who ceases to hold office as a judge and has at least eight years experience may be appointed as a senior judge by the governor.
"I have enjoyed my 27 years serving as Spalding County Probate judge and would enjoy serving as a senior judge on a part-time basis," he said.
He explained that a senior judge may be called upon to serve as a judge in any Probate Court in which the judge is otherwise qualified to serve, and may be called on preside and assist any other Probate judge who may be unable to serve because of disability, illness, absence or any other reason.
At the reception, Simonton was presented with painting of the courthouse, a framed certificate signed by the county administrative staff and a plaque from a club he founded, the Wednesday Luncheon and Social Club. County County Manager William Wilson Jr. and Jan Hunt presented the painting, County Clerk Ricky Clark read and presented the certificate, while the plaque was presented fellow club members Jesse Bradley and Raymond Ray.
There was also on display a Simonton campaign sign from 1985, a book of photos and a signed copy of Vince Dooley's book "History and Reminiscences of the University of Georgia," which Simonton said was presented to him by the District Probate Court judges.

Jan 6, 201345Boss battles are tedious and companion's AI is disastrous (which might explain why the puzzles are so basic and repetitive – that dumb rabbit probably wouldn't handle anything more elaborate). And it's not really a game for kids because on occasion it's rather difficult (partly due to abysmal jumping mechanics).

HTML5 Video for Drupal With VideoJS
HTML5 video is a new standard being talked about a lot lately that allows you to add videos to your site without the need for plugins. Videos added properly using the HTML5 standard play in the users browser without any additional software.
Since the standard isn't set in stone, HTML5 Video right now is kind of a moving target.
Video on the web currently is synonymous with Adobe's Flash, except for ios devices, which do not support flash.
VideoJS is a module available right now for Drupal 6 that lets you implement this new standard in your Drupal site. It is a very simple module to use and enable and only requires CCK and Filefield to work.
In order to support HTML5 video with the the big five browsers: (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari(Webkit-ios), Chrome, and Opera), you need to have at least three versions of your video present on your site: An MP4 to support Safari and an OGV for Firefox, Chrome, and Opera, and an FLV for Internet Explorer. Your MP4 needs to also be encoded using the H.264 codec.
Incidentally, in January of 2011, Google announced it is changing native browser support from OGV to WebM
The VideoJS module aims to help you get video to the widest number of users in the simplest way.
The module contains a javascript player that is customizable through css as well, giving you full control over the presentation of your player.
Here is what you need to do to use it:
- Download the module
- Install it as usual in /sites/all/modules
- You will need CCK and Filefiled. Download and install them as well.
- If you want flash fallback, you'll need Flowplayer as well.
- Enable CCK, Filefield, and VideoJS
- Create a new content type and name it whatever you like.
- Add a file upload field and allow three types: MP4, OGV, and FLV
- Change your display for the field to "VideoJS HTML5 Video Player"
Now that you have your new content type, create a new video content and add your three files.
After saving your content, preview it in different browsers and notice how quickly it loads and integrates.
VideoJS can also be used more extensively with the Video module.
If you find that you are unable to play the videos, you may want to check your .htaccess file and make sure you have the correct Mime-Type specified by adding an entry to your .htaccess:
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm
AddType video/x-flv .flv
This module is under constant development. You should check the VideoJS Issues and Bugs pages to make sure you are up to date.
For testing, I used three formats of the Big Buck Bunny open source video:
The MP4, WEBM, OGV, and FLV files are available on my Github account.
Credit to Longtailvideo.com for providing these files with their player.
Thank you for this feedback.
Thank you for this feedback. I am a huge fan of the HTML 5 Video module on Drupal 6 and would like to know if there are plans to build a Drupal 7 module.
There already is a Drupal 7
There already is a Drupal 7 version: http://drupal.org/project/video
If you have one field with
If you have one field with four different files, whatever browser is displaying it should choose the first file type that it can display and only show that file.
I know there have been some updates to this module since this tutorial was written though. You may try posting your question in the issue que for the module: http://drupal.org/project/issues/videojs?status=All&categories=All
I'm a Drupal newbie so be
I'm a Drupal newbie so be gentle.
I've already got a bunch of video clips encoded how I want them. Additionally I already use a good encoding tool with all of my recipes all made up (Telestream Episode 6xx), so I don't need to have the VideoJS module encode them again right? If so, where do I put my clips & what (other modules) do I need to do to play them on a Drupal site?
These modules don't do any
These modules don't do any encoding for you, that would be more for ffmpeg or some other solution that runs on your server. These modules just display your files appropriate to whatever the browser accepts.
You should encode them using whatever method you find works for you, and then upload them using Drupal and use a module like Videojs to display them to your visitor.

As many of you trying out the Flex Addon have discovered, the current milestone release (1.0.0.M1) is only compatible with Spring Roo 1.1.0.M1 and STS 2.3.3.M1. It does not work with later releases of Roo, up to and including the final 1.1.0.RELEASE.
As of Nov 17th's nightly build (which you can obtain here: http://s3browse.springsource.com/bro...UILD-SNAPSHOT/), the Flex Addon has been tested and confirmed to be compatible with Spring Roo 1.1.0.RELEASE and STS 2.5.1
Further changes were required to bring the addon into line with Spring Roo 1.1.1.RELEASE. These changes are available as of tonight's snapshot (http://maven.springframework.org/sna...075648-225.jar) and going forward. Many thanks to Thomas Fowler for supplying a patch that served as the foundation for this update.

Sorry about how long this was I originally posted it on my myspace but figured some people might be interested in reading. If you do I congratulate you
So a friend of mine at work bought 2 copies of Manhunt 1 for PS2 by accident about a week ago or so. He by accident bought 2 cause he thought the one he ordered on Amazon was back ordered since he got a e-mail stating it was, but apparently it wasn't. He bought another one on ebay instead but he just outright gave me a copy which is awesome since I was curious about its sequel Manhunt 2 and whether to buy it for my Nintendo Wii. This game kicks so much ass, its pretty gruesome what you can do in it and a bit comical. I found out through reviews that the Wii version of Manhunt 2 was censored more so if thats true I am gonna buy the PS2 version since they said its censored but not so much to where you can't see whats going on.
Playing this game made me think about how some games just wouldn't be that appealing w/o the blood and gore. Take Mortal Kombat for instance, it would be just another regular fighting game w/o the blood and fatality finishers. Sometimes thats the appeal and me being a fan of slasher flicks and horror movies with gore in them it does appeal to me. Its funny how violent video games have created such a public outcry over the years. I remember when Mortal Kombat and especially Mortal Kombat II came out in arcades and home systems just how much of an outcry there was.
I just read recently a article in my new Game Informer about Manhunt 2's Mod Furor. Manhunt 2 is a violent game created by Rockstar Games who is notorious for creating violent video games such as Grand Theft Auto. The thing is not all of their games are that much fun, I used to own Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City for PS2 and I thought both games sucked. I hated them and hardly played them, they were no fun and were merely a diversion for when I got bored for a few minutes and eventually ended up getting traded in for newer games. Manhunt is just fun because you have to use stealth to get anywhere in the game or do good in it and its much more involving then the oh so violent GTA series I could never get into, despite its violence.
Manhunt 2 received some very heavy criticism due to the violence that is in the game and even received an AO (Adults Only) rating by the ESRB. Now most retailers refuse to sell AO games, its not a government thing or anything its just a store by store decision, plus Sony and Nintendo refused to license the game. So its considered "retail death" and since it received that rating, Rockstar decided to go back and edit/censor level 3 executions (which are the most gruesome deaths you can perform in the game) so they game would get an "M" rating. The Wii version got edited more than the PS2 version, you can also interact with the Wii version more because you can use your Wii controller like a knife or w/e during the executions and act out the deaths as they are being done.
It also cost $10 more at $40 compared to the PS2 version which is $30 but other than the motion controls, they are pretty identical. Now even after they edit this shit people are still bitching that its "violent it should be banned, it might corrupt little Johnny and make him go shoot people" or "jab a glass shard in someone's neck". Target even went as far as banning the game from being sold because some computer hackers modified it and removed the video filters that blurred the more violent killings. The thing is how can you control hackers hacking into the source code of a video game after its been released and altering it? Also not everyone out there has that kind of knowledge especially little children who hardly know how to operate a computer.
In Game Informer it says "More improtantly, the ESRB simply doesn't think the new, revamped game is AO even with these hacks that remove the effects. "We do not believe these modifications fully restore the product to the version that originally received an AO rating," reads the ratings board's official statement on the matter. Furthermore, the ESRB says that the content was disclosed and not hidden when the game was re-rated, unlike the surprising situation that the ESRB found itself in during Hot Coffee. Back then Rockstar lied. At first they claimed that the Hot Coffee code was a user mod that altered the game's original source code, when in fact it was material that already existed within the game.
All these parent organizations, the media and even Washington started a witch hunt on Midway and Ed Boon (creator of Mortal Kombat) over the same crap. You had Senator Joe Lieberman going on his "violent video games are garbage" rants and his crusade to ban them. It got so bad with the first game that Nintendo removed the blood from the Super NES version of the game because it might offend some people and hurt their image. Too bad video games in America are protected by our 1st Amendment right under the constitution, therefore its been thrown out of almost every court in America to ban them.
It just pisses me off big time when you got people out there trying to blame the game industry for society's moral decline. Truth is even w/o video games the world would still be imperfect because thats how it was created and a lot of that blame I would throw upon those people's parents and their own upbringing. When I was a little boy about 5 and 6 years old my mother drilled it into my head that what I saw on TV was not real. That it was entirely fake and that unlike in the cartoon "Roadrunner" if you fell off a cliff like Wylde E. Coyotte did you would die and never come back. That that wasn't real and basically taught me right from wrong like any good parent should.
The issue now is you got parents that don't give a damn, they just let their kids do what they want and they don't want to deal with them or just don't know how. Then they say its not their fault there kid is some screwed up rapist, child molester, or some homicidal psychopath. No they go and blame the game industry, Marylin Manson and god knows what else. Its pathetic to see parents constantly pointing fingers at something else for their children's screwed up head other than themselves.
You do see this kind of criticism thrown at movies and music and other types of media that may have sexual themes or explicit content but not nearly as much as you do with video games. I personally believe its always been a more hated form of media or entertainment. I hear so many complaints ever since I was a kid that "video games are whats wrong with this world." That video games make kids into anti-social misfits, that they make people violent and aggressive. That theres no benefit in playing them and that it creates a mental addiction. I like video games just as much as l like my music or watching a good movie or going bowling with a group of friends, its all the same to me. Its just another form of entertainment and yes it is interactive but then again so are a lot of things in life that don't make people into complete lunatics.
Now some people are just screwed up and allow video games to take over their lives and completely ruin it. One game I am not very fond of just because I am not into "Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games" (a.k.a. MMORPGs) as I do with any game that never really ends is WoW (World of Warcraft). Its a PC game that millions are very addicted to to the point where its caused them financial ruin, marriages and a ton of other social and psychological issues. 1 couple even abandoned their baby for over 5 hours and it died because they played WoW at an internet cafe during that time. Now this is a very real problem but it again deals with their upbringing and screwed up lives. Any idiot should know that playing a video game for 18 hours a day isn't healthy and is probably gonna destroy your life if thats all your doing in your life. Thats like if I wanted to watch a bunch of movies 18 hours a day or watch TV 18 hours a day.
I know friends who are addicted to that extreme and its kind of sad. I personally can't see myself playing one for more than maybe 4-7 hours at the very most and a lot of the time its like an hour or two if that and thats if I am in the mood or have nothing better to do at that time. I think the longest I ever played a game was like 7 hours and that was like years ago and I thought my eyes were gonna bleed. Of course every year or so theres a new violent video game that is getting bashed in the skull for being too violent or some MMORPG or alike that is getting slammed for being too addictive. To me its just another copout excuse to band the games when the media does this crap. Maybe if them damn parents weren't out protesting at Rockstar Games with signs for hours on end they would know what the hell there children were doing. Maybe they could even spend some more time with their children so they don't end up screwed up and bi-polar slitting their wrists.
In the long run it always comes down to video games being the moral decline of society. Well then if your gonna ban video games you should ban movies, you should ban music, you should even ban computers. Oh wait is that a little extreme? Who said trying to censor video games or wanting to ban them is not an extreme. I am sure our stupid Governor Jennifer Granholm here in Michigan would jump to the opportunity to completely ban video games or at least any that weren't "Winnie The Pooh". She already has banned the sale of "M" rated games to those under the age of 17 which is fine, they do it in movie theaters but thats only because thats as far as she can legally go w/o getting bitch slapped.
Another thing that a lot of proponents of video game violence tend not to see is video games have a rating system that in my opinion is much more descriptive and overall way better than the film ratings they put on movies. The ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) was created in 1994 after public outcry and pressure by mostly Joe Lieberman and Washington to establish something to make parents aware of what was in the games they bought for their children. This was of course mostly fueled by the immense popularity that the Mortal Kombat fighting series received because you could do some gruesome finishing moves like shock your opponent till he exploded and all his blood and guts flew all over the screen.
It seems really tame if you go back and play that game today like "This was considered bad?" With little bits of pixelated blood. The point is their is a rating system that the ESRB has put in place that is on every single video game that is being released in this day and age. It goes from EC (Early Children) up to AO (Adults Only) and in between theres E (Everyone) E10+ (Everyone 10 and older), T (Teen), M (Mature). They give you age ranges for each rating and on the back of the box, descriptions of what is in that game such as the back of my Manhunt game for PS2 says "Mature 17+" with the M logo in a little box and then next to that it says "Intense Violence, Strong Language and Blood and Gore". However, back in the day when MK was around there was no rating system and parents never knew what was in the damn game. Now they do and its still "its them damn video games thats why my son shot up that school, cause he played Doom too much" or "Manhunt" or w/e the hell else game they can find that those people played. Hell most young people play video games and most gamers are now in their 20s and 30s and not their adolescent years.
So of course the video game market has switched from when most gamers where between 5 and 15 to when they are in their 20s and 30s cause that is the majority age demographic and thats where the money is. You also have more powerful technology out and you got developers who want to create games that they couldn't on primitive hardware. As far as these developers creating "garbage" goes like Joe Lieberman so famously said back in the day, thats a perspective and an opinion. Point is video games are a form of art and freedom of expression as much as anything else. Developers and artists should be allowed to create w/e the hell they want and sell it because it is to them "art".
Its assholes like Joe Lieberman, Hiliary Clinton, Jennifer Granholm who cry foul to all this crap and want "stricter laws" on everything that limit our own personal freedoms. You got people wanting to ban guns because "they kill", you got people wanting to ban video games cause "they make our kids kill", you want to ban heavy metal music cause its "violent and satanic", you want to ban television and movies cause it can be "disturbing to our youth". Well maybe those same people who cry foul won't be crying foul once all their own freedoms are taken away because they have to bitch and cry about every aspect of life that they don't like or agree with. My final point is you can't have the government babysitting your kids and you can't have the government sticking its nose in where it shouldn't be just because a few damn people don't like it.

Seaside Heights Raid Yields Drugs, Surveillance System
Local man charged with distributing cocaine
A Seaside Heights man is behind bars facing drug distribution charges, among others, after authorities raided his Porter Avenue apartment recently
Detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor's Special Operations Group and members of the Seaside Heights Police Department obtained and executed a search warrant Friday for a residence located at 138 Porter Avenue following an investigation into drug activity, Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford announced Monday.
Police seized a quantity of cocaine that was packaged into several individual bags, about $1,400 in cash and an expandable baton, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
Authorities also found the residence was equipped with a video surveillance system which monitored persons arriving and departing.
As a result of the search, Alexander Contreras, 31, a resident of the apartment building, was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of cocaine, possession of a weapon and maintaining a fortified structure.
Superior Court Judge Francis R. Hodgson set bail for Contreras at $50,000 cash.
A check of jail records Monday showed Contreras was still being lodged at the Ocean County Jail.
The Ocean County Regional SWAT Team and the Ocean County Sheriff's Department K-9 Unit assisted in the execution of the search warrant.

Which one do you guys like better? I like consoles better because all you need is a TV too hook them up and that's pretty much about it. It seems like you always need so much requirements just to play them since I remember when my family got Zoo Tycoon 2 in 2004 that we didn't had the graphic card to run it and the card to run it was over $100. Same with Sims 3 when I try to play it on my PC at the time in 2009 that it can hardly run smoothly. Not to mention it seems like PC's cost more money then consoles do since I remember my Mom had to pay $800 for her new PC last year.
I used to be a big PC gamer back in 90's with AVP, Doom, Dues Ex, and Quake 3, but since then that a lot of games on the PC have been move to the consoles. I think the last major PC game that I play was Unreal Tournament 2004 at a local PC torunament in Ocean City, MD in 2004 or 2005.

I have been a knitwear/fashion designer and author for many years as well as teaching knitting and crochet and lecturing in fashion and fashion history, which is my particular interest. I gain much of my inspiration by looking back and interpreting these ideas for today.
I am the co-author of A Stitch in Time, Vintage Knitting & Crochet Patterns, 1920-1949 and my designs and articles have been featured in The Knitter, Knitting, Yarn Forward, knitonthenet, Knitty and Selvedge, sometimes under my 'real' name of Susan Crawford or alternatively as Just Call me Ruby.
I am currently working on the 'Vintage Shetland' project investigating hand knitted garments in the Shetland Museum Archive re-interpreting and creating patterns from them.
