I wish you could have been with Diana and me when we descended from the seven hour hairpin odyssey from Oaxaca City into the wilds of the Costa Chica.

Migrating 500-600 endpoints scatted throughout the State of Maryland from a Novell to Windows Active Directory (AD) environment can be a challenge and when coupled with an aggressive timeline, can be completely overwhelming. End-user downtime was a primary concern as an afterhours migration was not optional. For this migration, GANTECH's virtualization experts activated VMware Mirage, a product enabling simultaneous hardware and software upgrades on a large scale and with very little downtime. Mirage also provides the ability to restore systems to their prior state when needed.
Our four-phased approach featured:
Mirage Server and Agent Deployment
All endpoints were migrated in a timely manner and without burdening IT staff at the end-user sites.

In a matter of days, my forms for the dorm were signed and sent in like a court warrant. My apprehension about staying in the dorms was mainly due to study halls, bed times, claustrophobic hallways, strict dorm parents and especially the food. Surprisingly, I arrived at school on Thursday feeling like it should be a Friday because it hit me that my parents would be across the country and I had the whole weekend to do (potentially) any thing I wanted to do...
Thursday afternoon started with a trip to the field to watch the girl's varsity soccer and volleyball game. We had only been watching for a few minutes when Andrea (who was also visiting the dorms) and I sprinted up the hill to slurp down a bowl of instant ramen in order to get to study hall on time. Once in the library, the proctor, a fifty or so year old man with a thick Eastern European accent, checked our names off a clipboard and told us the rules for study hall etiquette. For the next two hours I impulsively clicked my "Facebook" bookmark only to be slapped by a censored page. This forced me to actually get all of my homework done in those two hours… Since the creation of my Facebook account, I have never thought such speedy completion of our now called 'assignments' were possible.
As Friday evening rolled around, the warm weather seduced us to take a 4-mile stroll down Beaverton Hillsdale Highway to bubble tea with Meredith, Jinny and Andrea. As long as we were back by 8:30 (which was the time we wrote on our sign out sheet) we were free to walk wherever we wanted. Jinny and I introduced Meredith and Andrea to the small Korean supermarket next to the Home Depot and we decided to buy ingredients to make an Asian dinner that night. In the project room that night we cooked up and feasted on potstickers, three different selections of instant noodles, rice, seaweed and edamame. (Take note, day students: I have only eaten one meal (breakfast) in the dining hall thus far!)
Since dormies are supposed to be on campus by 11 and in their dorms by midnight, a bunch of us played on the field until Scott, the DPOD (dorm parent on duty) called up back up into our gender separated lounges. On the couches, we rushed to get on our Facebooks and Twitters before our Internet shut off at 1:00. I decided to sneak into my designated dorm room (my host was Shelly) and get my pillow and blanket and have a little sleepover on the couches in the lounge.
My trip to the dorms was such a good experience and gave me the chance to get to know other students from different countries. Everyone was so hospitable and dealt with all the noise Andrea and I caused in the lounge (Sorry!). When students and dorm parents (and their families) came together for group activities like tie dying, everyone (even the 3 year old toddlers) joked around with each other despite where they came from and how old they were.
When I packed up to go back home on Tuesday afternoon, it felt like I was going home after a week at camp. I was pleasantly surprised by what a good time I had and cannot wait for my visit back next weekend!

Guide books tend to describe Việt Nam as charming and picturesque, but on my journey from Hồ Chí Minh City to Hà Nội I often find myself wanting to substitute the words aspiring and frenetic.
On my first day in Hồ Chí Minh City, many residents are observing the New Year's Eve holiday, but others persevere with their daily work.
For some, this means building on busy streets where new hotels sit beside ancient shops.
I watch a woman mixing cement in a tin bowl while her workmates clamber up rickety ladders to fix the bricks into place.
Below, swarms of motorbikes fill the roads, some carrying a heavy load of building materials and others whole families out for a ride on this special day.
In Hà Nội, opposite my hotel, the workers are clearly living on the building site; their washing hangs out to dry on the ground floor as they labour above.
And on the drive from Hà Nội to Hạ Long Bay, I watch a man leaving a brick factory on his bicycle, with a trailer of new bricks in tow.
Straining to pull the heavy load, he manoeuvres into the flow of traffic, trusting that the buses, trucks and cars will respect his efforts and let him through.
They do, no doubt remembering that not so long ago everyone was on a pushbike.
Old and new constantly rub against each other here.
It's not uncommon to see an elderly woman in traditional clothes blithely wandering into the stream of motorbikes, a pole across her shoulders, each end laden with trays of food.
The young motorcyclists dip and swerve to make way for her.
They may have no memory of life before mobile phones and imitation Prada bags, but they respect the elderly and probably live with at least one grandparent who can recall the wars with France, the US and China.
Being older and less adventurous these days, I have opted for an organised tour on my first visit to Việt Nam.
I am happy to be told when and where to go each day.
And there are definitely benefits in travelling with a local guide.
Every question is answered with a smile and a stream of information.
Clearly proud of his country's progress since reunification, Tân Võ shows our group of 12 Australians around pagodas, citadels and Việt Cộng tunnels.
Tân's mother worked for the Việt Cộng during the Việt Nam War and his father for the Americans.
Tân was born while his mother was in prison and on her release his father was assassinated.
Furious at the communists for not protecting her husband and for not honouring her war efforts, she turned her back on them and moved to the country to teach.
Tân speaks five languages and travels with an iPad, an iPhone and a laptop.
He has studied in the US and is writing a master's thesis on sustainable tourism in Việt Nam.
We travel by train from Hồ Chí Minh City to Hội An, bus to Huế, then plane to Hà Nội.
The weather morphs from hot and humid in the south to cold and wet in the north.
In the north, the winter sun is weak and the drizzle reinforces the smells of street rubbish and precarious plumbing.
Many visitors experience this only briefly in their rush from the airport to the flashy resorts springing up along the coastline.
Tourism is one of the country's biggest industries.
I try to picture the other job options for the young hotel staff member who hands me a room key – perhaps sloshing around rice paddies.
Rising early one morning, I witness the desk staff packing up their bedrolls in the hotel foyer, putting on their waistcoats and smoothing their hair, ready for the day's work.
There are times when I look forward to being home – particularly when fighting my way through Hà Nội's Old Quarter, unable to use the footpaths, which are full of parked motorcycles, or the road, because of the number of moving ones.
However, I develop a deep respect for the determination of the Vietnamese people, from the tenacious street sellers who hassle me to buy a bizarre range of goods to the optimistic roadside vendors putting out their fruits, vegetables and incense sticks in the hope that passing vehicles will stop and pay a few đồng for their wares.
I decide to bring two tapestries home.
Both depict idealised views of a former Việt Nam.
One is of a quiet street, uncluttered by motorbikes; the other a fishing boat on a clean river that bears no resemblance to the murky and crowded waters I've actually seen.
The tapestries were done by victims of Agent Orange, some of them third-generation.
As I watch these workers and their nimble fingers at the embroidery tables, my heart goes out to them and my hand reaches into my wallet.
One strong image remains from my last day.
On the freeway to Hà Nội airport, I spot a small group of farmers in conical hats.
Miraculously, their plot of land has survived amid the new high-rises and they are tending a little vegetable patch with as much care as their ancestors would have done.
But for how long, I wonder.

Tandon Doss: Week 12 Fantasy OutlookNovember 20, 2013
Doss and the Ravens will host the New York Jets this week. Baltimore is floundering after dropping another close one in Week 12 to the Bears, a game that saw the secondary receiver secure three catches on five targets for 37 yards.
Doss remains without a touchdown this season, and has few solid outings. He now has 18 catches and 305 yards through 10 games, and therefore does not fit the bill of a reliable wideout.

My first layout for this year.
I'm glad I manage to slip into my studio and creating something despite my heavy schedule.
This layout is about my girls, their bonding as a sisters and the day the Ireen celebrating her 11th birthday. The birds element in this page is my favorite for this moment (yeah I know Im little behind in this sb trend but its okay I don't mind to be left out)
As I scrap over the year I realised I tend to used bright colors. I think after hard day at work bright color boost my energy and creative juice.
Thanks for dropping by.

No, not the Austin Ambassador, that ended in the mid '80s. It looks like it is the end of the road for the Hindustan Ambassador:
In its original guise as the Morris Oxford, this car has been in production since the late '40s. The original Morris tooling was sold to the Indian company that has been manufacturing the same car (with a few updates) ever since. They were particularly popular as taxis. A look at Google images shows a few have been registerd in the UK too - obviously for people nostalgic about Morris cars of the past.
It looks like its age and 1940s design has finally caught up with it though and a couple of sites have the story this weekend of the shutdown of the Hindustan Motors Uttarpara Plant. The Business Standard of India have it here. They aren't saying it is the end but they are suspending production (and not paying the workforce) in order to "help the company cut mounting liabilities, restructure its finances and arrive at a situation conducive to reopening the plant".
Reasons for the failure are being speculated as "mounting losses, paucity of funds, growing indiscipline and low productivity".
Autoweek also carry the story. But they seem more interested in speculating about what would be the longest-running car design in production if this really is the end of the Morris/Hindustan motor. They fail to discuss the merits of The Land-Rover but do mention the Beetle, the Morgan 4/4 and the Lotus/Caterham Seven.
Who could be in trouble too.
Autoguide say it is up for sale. Tony Fernandes wants to sell his road-car and F1 operations. That may have more to do though with his football team returning to the English Premier League this weekend. QPR have a sizeable debt and will also need to invest big-time to stay there.
At the end of the day, Caterham Sevens will be more attractive than Hindustan Ambassadors so they have a better chance of winning the longevity awards. Better than Caterham F1 getting any points and better than QPR prospering in the Premier League.
If you're wondering about the Ferrero Rocher reference - well they are the Ambassador's balls:

Electric Shock Treatment
Did you know roughly 100,000 Americans still receive electroconvulsive therapy? Carrie Fisher is one of the few who regularly receive this controversial form of treatment to manage her depression caused by her bipolar disorder. Fisher has written a new book entitled, Shockaholic, to be released November of this year. Her previous book, Wishful Drinking, was a New York Times bestseller.
Jared Lee Loughner Unfit For Trial
Jared Lee Loughner's lawyers state he is "gravely mentally ill" and cannot stand trial. Loughner has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia and suffers from delusions and disordered thinking.
Lyons Told Cops Another Man Killed Girlfriend
Glenn Lyons told State Police in May 2008 that Kathy Leibig called him and invited him to meet for breakfast in a parking lot and while having sex in her car a man wearing a yellow hooded sweatshirt opened the door and pulled him out of the car and knocked him out.
Leibig's Husband Unaware of Wife's Affair
Kathy Leibig, found stabbed to death in her SUV on the grounds of Wernersville State Hospital worked with her alleged killer, Glenn Lyons, at the Linette Quality Chocolates in Heidelberg Township. Testimony is expected to resume today.
Founder of Judge Rotenberg Center Forced to Quit
Matthew Israel, a Harvard Psychologist and founder of the Judge Rotenberg Center, a school in Canton, Massachusetts that treats severely autistic, schizophrenic, bipolar, developmentally disabled, and emotionally disturbed children with the use of electrodes to the torso and limbs, has been forced to resign and serve five years probation.
The device is called a Graduated Electronic Decelerator, which stems from the Self-Injurious Behavior Inhibiting System, manufactured by Human Technologies Inc.
The criminal charges brought against Israel relate to an incident in August 2007 at one of the school's residential homes where students sleep at night. A call came in from someone posing as an authorised supervisor, who informed the carers on duty that two teenagers had misbehaved and should be given shock treatment.
At 2am, the boys were strapped on boards and given multiple shocks. One of the boys, aged 18, was shocked 77 times over a three-hour period and the other boy, aged 16, was shocked 29 times. It was later discovered that the initial call had been a hoax.
The Massachusetts attorney general, Martha Coakley, indicted Israel over allegations that he ordered his staff to destroy video evidence that revealed exactly what happened that night. Prosecutors had previously ordered that the video recordings from the home were preserved.
"Dr Israel then attempted to destroy evidence of the events and mislead investigators, and that conduct led to his indictments today. Today's action removes Dr Israel from the school and should ensure better protection for students in the future," Coakley said.
The students are required to wear backpacks with multiple battery-operated devices that are connected to an electrode attached to the skin and receive a two-second shock triggered by remote control to dissuade behavior deemed dangerous.
Furthermore, should this school be allowed to operate?
Kissy Psychiatric Hospital in Dire Despair
Dr. Mandy Garber, a psychiatrist from Pittsburgh, spent the month of April volunteering at the Kissy Psychiatric Hospital (Sierra Leone Psychiatric Hospital) in West Africa; check out the article linked below to read her story. There are roughly 400,000 people in need of psychiatric care in Sierra Leone, but only 2% receive treatment from one Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr. Edward Nahim.
Life for the mentally ill in Sierra Leone is incredibly hard. Due to their illness, most of the mentally ill have minimal earning power; they cannot hold a job, people on the street mock and harass them, and at worst, they are physically and/or sexually abused by the so-called saner members of society.

This is how I found her one morning when I got her up for the day - her right arm was stuck in the sleeve of her sleeper, and somehow her right foot got out through the gaps in snaps on the side :) Goofy girl!
I made this dipe/wipe holder using this pattern, it turned out great! But just a tad small for the gargantuan Pampers travel wipes. I found a smaller refillable hard case at the Family Dollar that is cute and fits much better :)
Trying to get a cute pic of Keira and I (I was wearing a new outfit and felt like a rockstar :P). I know I should have someone take the pic for us, or use the timer on my camera, but that would be smart and I never claimed to be very smart :)
Keira's latest fun thing to do when eating her cereal dinner. We were giving her cereal at 6PM and she would eat a few bites and get knocked out. Needless to say, we ended up changing the time she gets cereal :)
Uncle Jim was in town this week and stopped for a visit. I just love how he scooped her right up and started playing with her - I don't know anyone who doesn't love Uncle Jim! He's the best!

first of a new series. similar to the weird kreatures concept, the idea is to create a series of illustrations depicting ancient deities based solely on textual descriptions and my own experiences/memories/interpretations. to reimagine and not draw from preexisting visual portrayals. new ideas.
chaac - (also spelled chac or, in classic mayan, chaahk) is the name of the maya rain deity. with his lightning axe, chaac strikes the clouds and produces thunder and rain. chaac corresponds to tlaloc among the aztecs.

I spent my day assembling lyrics to all of the songs that we're licensing for a new game so that they can be submitted to the ESRB.
Since we're licensing pop tunes by established acts, you'd think that the lyrics to these things would be online. Well, about 50% of them are. The rest aren't.
Thankfully, the vast majority of the singers enunciate to the point that I can transcribe the lyrics without any problems.
But then there's The Redwalls.
The Redwalls is a band from Illinois that sound like they're from England 30 years ago. When it comes to the lyrics, however, it's straight-up Illinoise. I don't know how this guy does it, but you can barely understand a single syllable of what he's singing.
Remember that Weird Al cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" with the lyrics:
It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss
With all these marbles in my mouth
Well, the Redwalls are pioneering new realms of bargle-zouss.
The first verse of one of their tunes sounds like he's saying:
Well, Tobliss takes the 55 dollar PA
He let that chick go down, he get away
And he stay alive, it don't miss a thang
Because the place that he eats is better than a wedding field
In reality, that lyric is:
Well, Dublin take the 55 diamond PA
He let that ship go down he get away
And he's saying now he don't miss a thing
Because the place where he is is better than where he been
So, thankfully I don't have to wonder about what a "wedding field" is. Still, it's nearly impossible to understand this stuff and it's not online. So what do we do for the ESRB? What if the lyrics are just a string of curses strung together by places this guy eats at?
Well, I contacted Capitol Records through our legal department and requested a lyric sheet. Now, you'd think that the record label would be able to furnish us with a complete list of lyrics.
The list they sent was incomplete and, quite frankly, pretty half-assed; or as the Redwalls would say, "hay stacked" or someshit. So, I had to sit there today replaying sections over and over and over again until I figured out what the hell this jerk was saying.
Not since I phonetically transcribed the lyrics to Queen's "Mustapha" at the age of 13 have I had more trouble understanding the lyrics to a song.
So, thanks, Redwalls. Or as Freddie Mercury kinda' maybe said: moh hoh maht deh yeh loh eh-shehlee. Whatever that means.

July 14 (Reuters) - The following are the top stories from selected Canadian newspapers. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
** The Canadian government has given itself broad new powers to share Canadian immigration files and other information with foreign governments - a practice that could have far-reaching implications for individuals who cross borders. (bit.ly/1jqqfMZ)
** Power has been restored to the remaining homes and businesses in Nova Scotia affected by a powerful post-tropical storm, but thousands of New Brunswickers remained without power more than a week after the system hit the Maritimes. (bit.ly/1kUfsWj)
Reports in the business section:
** Canada's airlines and airports are gearing up to fight Ontario's plan to more than double the tax on aviation fuel, arguing it will increase the number of Canadians traveling out of U.S. airports where taxes and fees are substantially lower. (bit.ly/1oVn4Ms)
** Carleton University journalism professor Allan Thompson will announce Monday that he wants to run as a Liberal candidate in the next federal election. Thompson, who covered federal politics during his 17-year career with the Toronto Star, will seek the Liberal nomination in the rural Ontario riding of Huron-Bruce, where he grew up. (bit.ly/1qXxqx2)
** Terrorists are deliberately placing people in the path of an Israeli offensive aimed at stopping rocket attacks from Gaza, says Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Harper says there is evidence that Hamas, listed by Canada as a terrorist organization, is using human shields in its attempts to stave off the Israeli offensive. (bit.ly/W2P0El)
** Royal Bank of Canada, which was looking to raise C$750 million ($698.6 million), ended up receiving orders of C$1-billion of 10-year Basel-111 compliant debt that can be called after five years. (bit.ly/1nwB8fY) ($1 = 1.07 Canadian Dollars) (Compiled by Arnab Sen in Bangalore)

Soon There Will Be No More Shelves of Books and CDs — Not So Fast
Woah Larry, I think you're giving up too easily. Just today I've been reading Eudora Welty's lovely literacy story "One Writer's Beginnings." Listen to this:
"It had been startling and disappointing to me to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they came from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them–with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself."
This was published in 1983, so it isn't some nostalgic remembrance of the days before the internet; it is the experience of countless souls since people started putting words on paper. I don't see any wholesale rejection of ink on paper in your lifetime or mine. Last week, my sixteen year old was begging me for an iPhone for his birthday. Today he called me from Barnes and Noble to ask if I'd buy him a book (he knows I have a hard time saying no to a book). He too knows the joy of capturing that treasure and carrying it off to himself.

Privacy has been an issue in politics for a while now. It's one of those problems that can't be easily resolved, since both sides of the spectrum have solid arguments.
Perhaps the most commonly referenced example of surveillance gone wrong is described in George Orwell's 1984, where Big Brother watches from the TV and the Thought Police decide what you can and can't think. It's as chilling as it is vivid, and as each new development in surveillance technology is made, the book is endlessly referenced.
However, the ethics of surveillance are often dependent on the reasons it is being used. Almost everyone on both sides of the spectrum would agree that security cameras installed in a bank or grocery store are meant to protect us and that they are therefore ethically sound. The surveillance described in 1984 is meant to control people; it is the government deciding what its citizens shall do and say. It's more than encroachment–it takes away freedom. In this case, the surveillance is judged to be undoubtedly unethical.
The cases that spur controversy make up the gray area between this black and white. Google Maps "street view" supplies us with information and helps us find our way around unfamiliar areas. But some don't appreciate the front of their house being on the Internet for everyone to view. I would argue that Google Maps is as much an invasion of privacy as a pedestrian crossing the sidewalk in front of your house. The information has always been out there for those feeling compelled to get it, Google has just made it more easily accessible.
I can't accurately predict the future of surveillance technology. But the current trend suggests that it will continue to develop. As long as the citizenry has a voice in determining what is ethical and unethical to observe, I don't believe we'll be stuck in an Orwellian dystopia anytime soon.

Exactly what I was thinking! Poly isn't about secrets. What's scary and can fuel our insecurities often is mystery. "Who else is he with? How many of them? Maybe she's nicer than me and perfect and so on?"
Well, ask who his other partners are, they're your metamours, it's perfectly normal for you to know them, talk to them and get to know them. It's much less scary when it's an actual person you know.
Plus this way one might tell you she's seeing him a specific day and time and you'll know not to call then, or you can arrange schedules with them too, not just with him.
Plus knowing your metamours is a good way to be sure he's not actually cheating. Sadly it doesn't seem uncommon for cheaters to just go "oh yeah, my wife/girlfriend/partner know" (or the potential plural equivalents) because this way they have to hide the cheating from one less person and it's easier for them to deal with.

The Blue TackiesFriday, 20 August, 2010
Bar Code Soho, 15th August 2010, 7pm (actual start time 8 pm)
Most audience members have enough experience to read between the lines of a flyer or advertisement for an event in order to establish whether this would be their type of show. Therefore the zany flyer for this production, ending with the words '…much daftness and fun' will beckon the right type of audience and warn the wrong ones.
The Blue Tackies' production is difficult to place in any recognisable category of entertainment. Referring once again to the flyer for some guidance: 'Comedy', 'dance' and 'electronic music' were promised. The concept of funny, and possibly even dance, can be subjective.
Tez Ilya was compere for the evening. He was dressed in a nice suit which featured as a joke. He is from London but of Pakistani descent, both locations which also provided a joke or two. He has just been fasting as part of Ramadan, another reference point in his material. When introducing his colleagues to come, referring to them as "funnier" than he, well, whether or not that was a joke remained to be seen. Tez Ilyas's routine was indeed quite routine but he performed his job of introducing the acts to come.
Anne Moir began her show commenting on how funny it is that all of us have several multiple personalities inside our heads fighting for an audience. It is difficult to say whether that has any psychiatric or medical basis, but Anne certainly proved the theory from her own personal perspective. There followed a battle between Anne Moir and her Scottish personality. For those who are not tuned into the nuances between a posh southern English accent and a Scottish accent she kindly pranced from side to side on the stage depending on who was speaking. The Scottish lady won for awhile and told a story about getting on the sex offenders list. It was initially unclear whether all of the 6 or more characters supposedly living in Anne Moir's head would get their 15 minutes on stage. But they did not.
Noah Wright was up next. He did a very good impression of exaggerated dry British humour. For his entire slot.
Next up was, oh, no, Suzy Wylde didn't turn up. She must have had something really important on.
Then came the Blue Tackies. The 'Blue' in the title presumably refers to the blue boiler suits worn by each member of the duo. The 'Tackies' is really anyone's guess, much like the concept behind the performance. This performance is where the 'electronic music' and 'dance' come into play. There are numerous dance routines which involve mainly behaving like robots. Gaya Giacometti has her microphone set to 'echo' throughout the entire performance. Sonja Quita Doubleday has hers set to 'high pitched'. They perform several songs and acts ranging in subject matter from debt, pandas and teenage zombies.
The grand finale comes after anther lengthy interlude. The Blue Tackies exit the stage and never return. In their place come two ghosts, the costumes having been made from white sheets with eye-holes cut. The ghosts sing and dance in the same manner as their stage-predecessors, except that every word is now totally muffled due to a mouth-hole oversight.
This is a bizarre show on the fringe of experimental entertainment. It is worth a look if experimental is your thing.
Cast: Tez Ilyas – Compere. Anne Moir – Comedian. Noah Wright – Comedian. The Blue Tackies: Sonja Quita Doubleday and Gaya Giacometti.
Sound Engineer: Giovanni Carnazza

Lake Sammamish Half Marathon
I know. I think I'd mentioned before i'd never run the full at Seattle but there were a lot of reasons to go ahead and do this race. Location, Location, Location. No hotel, no airport, no driving for hours which means no chance for travel to take a toll. The weather is what it is. I'm used to running in cooler temps. If it's 35 degrees and raining. Well, I do know how to dress. If it's a perfect crisp 38 then that is still better than any temps over 60 degrees.
Training has been going well. I decided to get a bit of help with figuring out a training plan and asked Coach Lesley for that help. I really don't think long runs over 18 miles are of much help for me. They just break me down so I'm not planning on doing one. I really like back to back longer runs so I am planning for that. We shall see what happens. I'm excited.
Meanwhile, back in the summer I'd heard about this new event which was both a full and half marathon along the East Lake Sammamish Trail. This event was going to be capped and sure enough it sold out (400 total) but not before I got a spot. The weather was predicted to be wet and it did rain at the very beginning of the race but then it stopped and cleared. And it was gorgeous! the lake was still and the fall colors were glowing.
I'd debated racing versus using this event as a long run. the long run won out for various reasons. We got bused to the start of the race in Issaquah and then had a long wait for the start. I got very cold waiting and just decided to do a longer warm-up. After 2.5 miles, I got to the start on Tibbets Beach with 300 other people and off we went.
It was a very narrow and crowded start. I was glad I was not concerned with pace at this point as it would've been very frustrating trying to dodge through the crowd. After an easy mile, I settled a bit quicker than I wanted for longer run pace but wasn't too concerned. I was feeling pretty good and enjoying myself and enjoyed listening to the runners about me. it seemed like there were quite a few who were doing their very first half.
At mile 4 in the race, I sped up to goal marathon pace. It was great to stride out and start passing people. I'd forgotten to bring any water figuring there would be a water fountain at the start (wrong) so by mile 4 of the race (mile 6.5 for me) I was really thirsty. I managed to suck down the small cup of water and a gel without slowing down at all. Hey! I am getting better at that.
The miles ticked off but around mile 7of the race (mile 9.5 for me) I started to feel really awful. My breathing felt off, my hip was bugging me and the pace felt hard. I slowed a bit (5 seconds) and debated just slowing back to long run pace. I kept it up though and focused on form and once at the next water stop (at 8.5) walked to take in two cups of water and another gel. That was it! I immediately felt better and had no troubles. I even kept the same goal marathon pace even with the walking.
I was always gradually catching up and passing people and had my eye on a gal who'd passed me very early but had a nice strong stride, a distinctive colored shirt and a long braid. I very gradually caught up to her and then realized she must've slowed a bit as we were now going the same pace. I was all set to just tuck in behind her when all of a sudden she just pulled up and was walking. I checked to see where she finished and it was 10 minutes behind me which was a surprise considering how she'd been running so strongly. Oh well. Blow ups happen. I've been there as well.
At mile 10 of the race, I sped up to half marathon pace. This was it and I was ready to be done. I felt strong and enjoyed myself as we went on some trails into Marymoor Park which I'd not been on before. I passed another gal I'd been gradually catching up to around mile 11. she must've stuck right behind me though as at 12.5 or so she passed me. D'oh! I could not keep up but was happy to finish with a very strong last mile. Done!
this was a low key sort of race. No chip timing and no medals. There was a person sitting at the finish line with a clipboard writing down numbers and clock times. They had a really nice spread of food at the finish including pizza! That would've been great but I still wanted to finish my long run. So I went and ran another 1.5 miles very slowly for 17 miles total. That was a good run.
Good event with a really nice friendly feel. I think the half was a bit short but I'd do it again or even the full. The course was completely flat on a graveled trail for 2/3 of the course. Flat in the Seattle area is amazing.

alright, enough already...
There were numerous other places we'd not have known to visit without J's knowledge. The Alexander Calder Room in the Smithsonian Hirshorn Museum didn't appear on any maps. We knew about it and could find it because J drew a map for us so we knew to go to the lower level and into the corner. What a hidden treasure. No thanks to the museum that we found it or even knew to look for it.
It's been almost a month since we got back from DC and I'm still fondly thinking of the experiences. I'd totally go back to that Korean restaurant or have some of those tacos from that hole in the wall around the corner (sorry still don't want to try the beef tongues however) and look forward to another run taking in the sites and the history. Now THAT was a vacation!
Sunday, October 24, 2010
Of course there was running.
However, everyone on the Reach the Beach teams (most live on the East Coast and some even in the DC area) said I had to get out and run as there was such a nice running there.
And they were so right.
Our hosts live within a mile of the Rock Creek Park. It's a wonderful paved trail running alongside Rock Creek. I didn't explore too far but even found a trail which required scrambling up rocks and roots. I took a little detour to see if I could check out an interesting old cemetery and saw some deer in the stream one morning.
The weather was perfect when we first arrived in DC but by the end of the week, temps had risen to highs in the mid-90s with high humidity. Of course by our last day in DC (when the temps were supposed to be highest) I really wanted to go on a longer run. M was game and a good sport and took me down Rock Creek trail to the trail which runs along the Potomac. We left early before sunrise but temps were still 70 degrees with 85% humidity. Perfect for an easy, site seeing run.
We crossed the Arlington Bridge and stopped to take in the sunrise over the Mall. I was loving it! There were quite a few other runners out and about. We crossed back to DC and into Georgetown and M took me along the historic C&O Towpath. It starts here at Rock Creek in Georgetown and continues 184 miles north along the Potomac. Amazing.
Thanks M! That was a yet another highlight of the trip for me.

No really...
It was the first time visiting "the other Washington" for both of us. It was more beautiful and more stirring than I expected. So much to see and do and we did it all plus ate and drank very well.
This building of the Smithsonian American Art Museum recently underwent renovation and enclosed their old and dated courtyard with a lovely enclosed and soaring space reminiscent of the my favorite the British Museums' enclosed Great Courtyard. We enjoyed roaming through the various spaces of this museum and saw the enjoyable exhibit of Norman Rockwell paintings and drawings.
Since being home I've had to read about the history of how Washington DC became our capital. Slave labor and epidemics and wishful thinking all played their part in placing The Capitol on the banks of unnavigable river (George was wishful) and yet, here we are today.
We saw all the highlights and still missed some things we wanted to see. And to be able to take the time to go through some exhibits would be delightful. Next time!

We present the design and the fabrication of compact tunable silicon-on-insulator bandpass filters based on the integration of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer with ring resonators and activated via thermo-optic phase shifters. The proposed architecture provides wide filter bandwidth tunability from 10% to 90% of the free spectral range preserving the filter off-band rejection. Possible applications are channel subset selection in wavelength division multiplexing optical systems, adaptive filtering to signal bandwidth, and reconfigurable filters for gridless networking.

"It's based on characters in the book Life of Pi. Richard Parker is the tiger, and he is running to get back to the boat that he shares with Pi. They depend on each other for survival - although at the same time they are a threat to each other. I liked it as a metaphor."

Proverbs 15:1
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
I was offered a job in customer service once. Even though I needed work at the time I promptly turned it down. Customer service routinely works with angry customers to fix problems that they did not create. They endure a lot of upset people who just want their problem solved and to get back to work. The last thing I wanted was a job that involved being yelled at by angry people most of the day.
A bit of kindness goes a long way towards calming an angry person down. It totally defuses the situation as an angry person just wants to fight. It's difficult to fight with someone who won't fight back.
Once I waited 20 minutes at a fast food restaurant for a chicken sandwich. It was 2 in the afternoon so it wasn't exactly the lunch rush. As I waited I began to stew about the ineptitude of the place and how they should know better if there were going to be that many people there at that time.
Finally the manager brought me my food. I was ready to tell them what a lousy restaurant it was and that they wouldn't be getting my business again any time soon. Instead the manager apologized profusely for the wait and wished me a good day. I couldn't blow my top after that. A kind word is all it took. We can do the same whenever we're dealing with frustrating or angry people.

While traveling by car through Tucson, Arizona on my way back east 25 years ago, the sun was just rising while I was cruising along I-10. Just like that, I came upon a military aircraft that had made an emergency landing in the median. I never shot any pictures of the scene and am not sure to this day if I really saw what I thought I did.
I had another freeway moment Tuesday afternoon.
Driving south on 101 near the Rohnert Park Expressway, a guy in a van was pulled over and had removed two stretchers with what appeared to be deceased people (they were covered) on them.
It struck me as odd and a little disturbing.
So I tooled on down to the next exit, doubled back and found the scene in question. Sure enough, it was what I thought it was.
Jayson O'Keefe of Bayside Mortuary Transport in Sacramento got a flat front tire. O'Keefe removed the deceased from the van to get to the spare tire.
A legitimate maneuver.
Officer Little of the California Highway Patrol, stopped to inform said driver to put the bodies back in the van while changing the tire.
It was causing somewhat of a distraction, he said.
O'Keefe got the tire changed, the bodies were loaded back in to the van and Officer Little asked some questions. Then everyone was on their way.

Did you hear the one about the young computer expert / hacker who comes across some damaging information about a mega-corporation and before you know it the hacker is being sought by the police for a crime the person is suppose to have committed? Of course the crime is not real. It was set in motion by the mega-corporation using computer technology to change and/or delete part of the hacker's computerized records. This type of conspiracy theory was made popular by the 1995 movie called The Net with Sandra Bullock. Do you think this could happen in real life?
Case in point is is the story of Julian Assange. You may know him better as the founder and editor of WikiLeaks, the whistle-blowing Web site that published tens of thousands of pages of Pentagon paper regarding the Afghanistan war. He was being sought on a arrest warrant in Sweden for rape and molestation charges. The spokesperson for the Swedish prosecutor's office said that they and, I quote from the CNN article, "didn't have more detail about when the alleged crimes occurred or who the alleged victims are". Assange denied the charges on the WikeLeaks Twitter page. Strangely, within a few hours of the story breaking, Swedish authorities dropped the rape accusations.
Could Assnage be living Sandra Bullock's nightmare? We will have to wait and see how this story unfolds but I do find it curious how all this transpired. It would be interesting to hear on what evidence the charges were first laid and the circumstances on why they were dropped. Any chance the US government is involved? Makes you want to go .... mmmmmmmm???

Putin Wanted to Be a Ballet Dancer in a Tutu
It is well known that, before he became a politician, Vlad the Botoxed was an officer in the KGB. What is less known however is that this was not his first career choice.
When he was a boy he wanted to be a ballet dancer in the Bolshoi. He would dance around the house on his tiptoes all day long to the amusement of his parents. But their amusement turned to bemusement as he grew older and he started doing pirouettes and wearing a fetching pink tutu. He was a small boy and looked quite girly. He was told in no uncertain terms that this career choice was not open to him, despite the fact that in the glorious Soviet empire the very best doctors were available to turn him into a girl and make his dreams come true.
This, psychologists suggest, is why Vlad now overcompensates by doing so many masculine activities and showing off his chest to the world. He wanted to be a girl. They wouldn't let him. He has been tortured ever since and so why shouldn't he torture the cruel world too.

Hey girls, sorry for the week long break! I just got back from Krabi. Hope all of you are enjoying holidays and getaways too since it's December! Today I have Color Club Antiquated. I might not have mentioned this before but this is my first Color Club polish. The place where I normally get my nail polish from recently, or a few months ago maybe, started stocking Color Club so I decided to give it a go since they were quite affordable. I'm not loving this buy a lot though, you'll see why in a moment.
The formula of this was decent, 2-3 coats for each nail. It's a silver, metallic shade, reminds me of aluminium foil.
I had no problems with the polish itself. It's just that, the shade I expected wasn't what it looked like when I painted it on my nails.
In the bottle, it looks slightly more bronze-ish and copper-y but it disappeared when I painted my nails with them :( So this was a slight disappointment. Nonetheless, the polish itself was great so no complaints there.
Thanks for stopping by!

While researching my recent article Gun Collection + Malicious Mom + Government = Life in Ruins, I found a very interesting website focused on governmental abuses against families in Canada. The Equal Parenting British Columbia website discusses the corruption and abuses of the Canadian judicial system, the large number of pedophiles and child sexual abusers in social services and other agencies that come into contact with children, and the war against families trying to replace the notion of biological parents with the state being the parent. The site is definitely worth a look for victims of the government war on families in Canada and other so-called "established democracies" like the United States, Australia, and United Kingdom.

Telltale Drops New Details for Their Upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Game
Telltale Games gave us some new info on their upcoming game set in the Guardians of the Galaxy universe. They will be releasing Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series later this spring with a physical disc that operates as a season pass to allow you to download the episodes as they become available.
You will see the game through the eyes of Star-Lord. Your team of morally questionable heroes will find a powerful artifact that everyone wants, including a very nasty villain. She is the last of her species, so she has no one to be disappointed by her bad behavior. Our fingers are crossed that it is an infinity stone, but the universe is a big place.
The voice acting will include Nolan North as the smack talking and gun-toting Rocket, Brandon Paul Eells as easily angered Drax, Emily O'Brien as Gamora, Scott Porter as Star-Lord, and Adam Harrington as the ever-eloquent Groot. We are looking forward to seeing what Telltale has in mind for the musical selections in its soundtrack.
If you want to see the game in action, you have two chances very soon. There will be a panel at PAX East on March 10th to hear about the game from Bill Rosemann, Marvel Games Creative Director. You can also watch the 6:00 PM (EST) stream on Twitch.
The next opportunity will be one week later at SXSW. The game will allow people in the auditorium to use Crowd Play on their mobile devices to determine the choices that are made in the game, so it will really be a unique experience.
We like Telltale Games, because they produce some of the best story-based games and characters. Guardians of the Galaxy seems like the perfect partnership for both sides, and we will definitely be keeping an eye on this one. With that said, we would love to see any news on Season 2 of The Wolf Among Us. Pretty please.

The upheaval by some people who speak broken English in Cameroon has taken a new twist. Dozens of leaders of the anglophone saga who tried to seek refuge in the embassies or diplomatic missions of foreign governments have been chased away far from the mission premises, some embassies have even alerted the Cameroon authorities to come arrest the parasites.This is the case of Dr James Abangma who was urged out of the Nigerian consulate in Buea and now hides in bushes around Mamfe waiting for an opportunity to smuggle himself into Nigeria. A similar fate befell Tassang and Mr Ayah Paul Abineh president of the People's Action Party and supreme court judge who shopped for refuge in more than five diplomatic missions in Yaounde a day before his arrest at the nation's capital. The message is thus clear, that Cameroon's foreign partners side with the government and see the current events as mere lawlessness. Some diplomatic missions have even provided intelligence support to government and road-map to quell the menace. A legitimate demand by teachers and lawyers through their labour unions for better work conditions, has been hijacked by ambitious activists some as failed politicians as well as informal rag-tag hoodlums hiding in the ghettos of Brussels and New York seeking a revenge for a system that orphaned them. The unfolding mess is a tragedy for thousands of youths in Buea and Bamenda who have been arrested, while their peers are excited at the money transfers they access as new flow of income to drink themselves into ecstasy and foment trouble. Foreign embassies have paid little attention and underplayed any seriousness on the issue.

Best Buy flyer has overridden the ESRB and given Final Fantasy IV, Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 and MYST all "Mature" ratings. We have no idea how this happened, as the box images from the publishers should have the proper ratings. It's not like Best Buy's flyer design team adds the ratings to each box (and if they do, we feel bad for them). In the online version of the ad, hovering over the games with the pointer does display the proper ratings.
We're amused, but just to be clear, Trauma Center is rated T for Teen, while Myst and FF IV are rated E for everyone.
[Thanks MGS0LID]


text: The Freedom Tunnel is the popular name for the 2½-mile train tunnel under Riverside Park on Manhattan's West border. In the 1970s and 80s the tracks were disused and the tunnel became home to countless displaced and destitute people. Eventually entire eloborate shanty towns developed, some availed of electricity and running water siphoned off the tunnel's infrastructure. In the early 90s the inhabitants were removed by the city with the advent of the new HUD Section 8 programs, and the habitats (mostly) cleared out. Due to its hidden location, restricted access, and extraordinary lighting, the tunnel had become a veritable gallery of large-scale and elaborate graffiti art. Though the tunnel is in use again by Amtrak trains to and from Penn Station, installations continue to be added to this day.

|my 'helper' with flour on his chin
I get most of my skills from my dad. Occasionally mom will come home with some nifty tool to use that I'll either figure out or not and use or not, but my inventiveness in the kitchen comes from dad. We all know that. I learned a lot about my cooking skills and different ways to combine things, and what can constitute a 'meal' when I studied abroad.
It's always interesting to me how adding a few different things or making a small change can change the taste of something completely. I love experimenting with new spices and dishes despite some of the restrictions I have to work around. Mom's a vegetarian and dad and I can't eat any kind of squash other than pumpkin. And I've been known to be allergic to some truly random things.
Anyway, I wanted to share recipes, and I thought why not today? Today is sweet potato soup for dinner. This recipe usually makes two or three days worth of soup for my family of three. Reduce quantities and/or make substitutions or additions as needed.
Sweet Potato Soup
- 1/4 cup of butter or olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced/chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, diced/chopped
- 3 medium white sweet potatoes, diced/chopped
- 3 medium regular sweet potatoes, diced/chopped
- 2 small potatoes, diced/chopped
- 2 large carrots, diced/chopped
- 3 stalks of celery, diced/chopped
- 1 apple, diced/chopped
- 3 large sugar pears (or you could use 1 pear of your choice, either Bartlett, D'anjou, etc,), diced/chopped
- 1 large piece of dried (or fresh) ginger
- 1 can of corn
- a 2 inch square of bacon for soup stock/rendering, double scored (run the knife over the sides to slice the surface without going completely through - think of it like a blooming onion only not so deep on one side but scored on all sides)
- 2 small or 1 large hot red pepper (can use hot red pepper flakes instead, just be aware of your tolerance of spicy foods and know that ours is pretty high), slightly crushed or broken in half
- 3 dried bay leaves
- 2 stalks of fresh tarragon, chopped leaves of
- 1 Tablespoon each of dried thyme, rosemary, and parsley (or other preferred herbs)
- 4 cups of coconut milk
- 2-14 oz cans of chicken broth or stock
- 1/2 teaspoon of fresh grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon dried lemon peel or the zest of 1 fresh lemon
- 4 oz of mascarpone
- 1 cup of dry white wine
- 1 cup of half and half or whole milk
- salt & fresh ground black pepper to taste
In a small frying pan, place the scored bacon chunk and turn the burner on at low heat. To start the rendering process, it needs to be cooked slowly on low heat till the edges start to get crispy. This is going to take some time, so chop up the other ingredients, read a book, do the dishes, whatever while you wait. Just be sure to check on it from time to time and turn it over now and then.
In a large pot melt the butter or oil and dump the contents of the small frying pan in the pot, oil and all. Add the onions, garlic, ginger, and hot pepper (if using) and saute till the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Throw in all of the potatoes: white, regular, and sweet. Saute another 10 minutes, until the potatoes don't have sharp edges, or you're bored out of your mind.
Add carrots and celery. Saute for yet another 3 minutes. Add the apple and pears and stir for about a minute. Dump the corn, bay leaves, tarragon, thyme, rosemary, parsley, nutmeg, a few turns of fresh ground pepper, and white wine in the pot. Toss the whole mess around the pot a few times.*
Pour the chicken broth and coconut milk into the pot and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 30 minutes or until you can pick one random piece of each kind of potato out and easily mush it with a spoon or fork. The veggies should be very soft but not disintegrated (unless already blended).
Scoop the mascarpone into a small bowl and mush it around till it softens a bit and loses its lumps. Slowly, a bit at a time, add the half and half or milk, mixing thoroughly each time. Mascarpone has a consistency like cream cheese which makes it hard to add to soup easily. By mushing the living daylights out of it and diluting it with milk or half and half, it's much easier to add. (You can also substitute the whole mess for a cup and a half of heavy cream if you don't like wrestling milk products.) Pour the whole bowl and the lemon peel into the pot and bring it back up to a simmer before serving.
Serve with crusty bread, pour over pieces of shredded chicken or pork, or however you prefer. Enjoy!
Leftover soup should be stored in the fridge and heated up before eating. You can also add mushrooms if you'd like, but I ran out of room in the pot, so back in the fridge they went. A vegetarian version can be made by excluding the piece of bacon and using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
*I prefer this soup to be broth-y with chunks of veggies in it. If you prefer you can wait to add the ginger, bay leaves, red pepper, and the herbs, blending it after adding the apples, pears, and corn using an immersion blender or by transferring it in pieces to a stand blender. Then add the ginger, bay leaves, red pepper and herbs before proceeding.

Margaret Guroff: "The Mechanical Horse" | Talks at G...Talks at Google

"The Mechanical Horse" reveals how the bicycle transformed American life. As bicycling caught on in the nineteenth century, many of the country's rough, rutted roads were paved for the first time, laying a foundation for the interstate highway system. Cyclists were among the first to see the possibilities of self-directed, long-distance travel, and some of them (including Henry Ford) went on to develop the automobile. Women shed their cumbersome Victorian dresses—as well as their restricted gender roles—so they could ride. And doctors recognized that aerobic exercise actually benefits the body, which helped to modernize medicine.
Margaret Guroff is a magazine editor. She is also the editor and publisher of Power Moby-Dick, an online annotation of Herman Melville's classic novel. She teaches writing at the Johns Hopkins University.

Courtney Stodden And Doug Hutchinson Split, Prove That Love Is Dead Forever
Courtney Stodden splits with husband Doug Hutchison after three years of marriage:
The reality star allegedly called it quits with her much older husband.
The reality star, who married "Lost" actor Doug Hutchison when she was just 16 and he was 51, has reportedly separated from her spouse of 3 years.
"Doug knew he was taking a risk with the marriage, but he genuinely fell in love with Courtney and didn't realize how much his life would be changed after they got married," the source added. "She is branching out and doing her own thing and Doug is getting left behind."
Stodden has been spotted recently partying without her 53-year-old husband, on one occasion getting touchy-feely with a younger mystery man in London.
The source says that Hutchison and Stodden are waiting to announce the split for maximum media impact.

Winged eyeliner is a challenge everybody seems to face. There is nothing more annoying than spending ages on redoing your flick or trying to match both sides. I do struggle with it everytime i try to do a winged eyeliner, but one technique helped me to downsize the amount of time i spend on doing a decent eyeliner.
You can use this technique with any type of eyeliner. Eyeshadow or gel liners are probably the best ones to use but it works with an eyeliner pen too.
So first you draw a line in your mind from the end of your eyebrow to the outer corner of your eye. Then you place your brush/pen on the line at the point you want your eyeliner flick to end and then draw the line down to the outer corner of your eye.
I like to do this on the other eye right afterwards and compare the two to make sure they are similar.
Now you can do your eyeliner line along your lashline until you reach the outer corner of your eye.
Last but not least you connect the two lines and you can make the part between the beginning of your flick and the line along your lashline as thin or as thick as you want. Depending on the look you are going for.
This technique took my eyeliner flicking (is that even a word?) from over 30 minute application and a lot of correcting and removing to a maximum of 15 minutes and a perfect result.
Do you have any tips on applying winged eyeliner?

Will you be coming to other platforms besides the PC, Mac, and Linux? If so, which ones?
This is certainly our intention, or perhaps a better word at this stage would be "hope". This is why we are building in Unity. Also, building for multiple platforms is part of the reason for doing this as an indie project. That said, it will depend on how much funding we get, and on what arrangements we can make with the platform vendors. Even if we are able to bring it to other platforms, that won't be for quite awhile, as we plan on focusing on just the PC/Mac/Linux version first. This will allow us to really focus on the quality of the game and not on porting issues, and yield the best results in terms of a really fun game. In regards to which platforms, we hope to bring the game to pretty much all of them. Right now it's sort of cart-before-the-horse because we need to build a game first, but it is a VERY understandable question. We will do our very best, but at this stage we can't offer any promises.

How big are the vinyl figures?
ToeJam and Earl are both about 5 inches tall (Earl is slightly taller) and the ship is 6 inches tall. Last updated: Wed, Feb 25 2015 9:12 pm EST
You have a lot of physical rewards. Have you accounted for shipping costs and for the work needed to package and mail everything?
The domestic shipping costs have been factored into the tier pricing structure and International shipping has added costs which vary with the weight of each tier. (So the added shipping costs you see aren't what people of other tiers see). In regards to fulfillment of the items we are working with some really excellent partners, one called Amplifier (in Austin, Texas) and another called Backer Kit. Our goal is to spend our time on the game and not on packaging and shipping. Thankfully we can be pretty hands-off. Last updated: Wed, Feb 25 2015 9:12 pm EST
When will the game be done?
Simple answer: "we don't know yet". What you see in the videos is a very early prototype that was made by one engineer and one full time artist (with some part time art help) over the course of several months. We have a long ways to go. We really want to do this right, and deliver a game that is a worthy sequel, and this is our priority over doing it fast. So... it may be awhile. What does this mean in practical terms? Well, I'd guess probably somewhere between 1.5 and 2 years. Last updated: Wed, Feb 25 2015 9:12 pm EST
Is this the final look of the game?
As I said in the above response, this is a very early prototype. We plan to have the character animations work from different angles (front and back walks for example) and better frame rate and we may do some more experimenting with the environment look. If you have any suggestions or ideas of what you think might be cool we'd love to hear it. Just message us via Kick Starter or via the ToeJam and Earl Facebook page. We're pretty busy at the moment but we'll get to all of the comments. Last updated: Wed, Feb 25 2015 9:12 pm EST
Will you support controllers for the PC
We intend to look into that (it's on our list) and will if we can. Last updated: Wed, Feb 25 2015 9:12 pm EST
Will you have 4-way split screen?
We need to do some R&D on this still, but that is also on our list of things we hope to accomplish. Last updated: Wed, Feb 25 2015 9:12 pm EST
How can I contact you?
We read all of the KickStarter messages and respond to all of them, and also respond to all of the messages on the Facebook page. You can also email email@example.com. Feel free if you are press, or if you feel like it's something important. Otherwise please use the email channels and Greg gets LOTS of email. Last updated: Fri, Feb 27 2015 3:56 pm EST
Will the vinyl figures be made available for sale after the Kick Starter?
We're not sure about this yet, but if they are eventually made available, it won't be right away, and to whatever extent it's feasible they will have different packaging. We want to make sure that the people who have donated to the Kick Starter to get these, won't ever feel cheated, and that the vinyl figures they get feel special. Last updated: Fri, Feb 27 2015 12:25 pm EST
Why aren't you developing for multiple platforms at once? What about Xbox One, and WiiU, and PS4 or PSVita?
We absolutely plan to put this on as many consoles as we can. Hopefully all of them. When you are a big publisher, or a large developer with a fat bank account, you have very large development teams, and porting architectures that let you build for multiple systems at once. Aside from the costs, and requirements for big teams, one of the downsides of this is that you can't really adjust and play test the game as you make it. It is much harder to experiment when you're building for several platforms at once. You have to be much more cookie-cutter in your approach. Indie development is different. You build with a small team on one platform at much lower cost, and you play-test a lot. In Indie development you build for the love of it, and your priority is on making a truly great game, rather than on maximizing revenue and hitting all markets fast. Then, once you have a game you're proud of, you try to port it to as many systems as you can. We have chosen to build in Unity for just this reason. Perhaps you can start this porting process before you're totally done and before you release, if you can line up funding deals for the ports and relationships with vendors like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. And perhaps you get some 3rd party help with the ports to speed that up. Still to get the best game possible you build on one platform first until you're satisfied with the game. Usually that's the PC. There is absolutely NO reason why people who aren't in game development should know all this. It's understandable that everyone wants the game on their specific platform as soon as possible. This is an indie project though. TJ & E fans have waited a long time for a new TJ & E game. I want to make sure we deliver a game that will be worthy of that wait. Unfortunately that will take a little time. Sorry for the wait. We are only just getting started, which is why we need the KickStarter funds. We'll work as hard and as fast as we can, and we'll make the best game we can. That, I can promise. Last updated: Fri, Feb 27 2015 1:58 pm EST
Can we specify how the name will appear in the credits?
Yes, no worries. We are working with a great company called Backer Kit. If and when we fund, they will send out a survey that lets you specify the name you want to have in the credits. Last updated: Fri, Feb 27 2015 3:50 pm EST
Will the game be DRM Free? How about a boxed CD version?
Sorry for the unsatisfying answer but at this stage we can't say for sure about DRM. We have yet to have conversations with distribution partners like Humble Bundle or Steam or Unity and we'll need to find out what the requirements and trade-offs are. If you have specific opinions, suggestions, or requests about DRM we'd love to hear it. In regards to a boxed version, we haven't opted for that yet just so that we can simplify our lives and focus on the rewards we have (which is keeping us plenty busy). Still we'll think about it and discuss it further and as always your opinions matter, so if enough people really want that perhaps we'll try and make it happen. Last updated: Fri, Feb 27 2015 3:56 pm EST
Can we get add-ons?
I'm afraid we're not doing add-ons, at least for now. I suppose that could possibly change. It adds more complexity and creates issues of fairness with people who have already dished out money to get items before we had the add-ons. (they might have chosen to get the add-ons instead if they had been available, and hence get rightly upset). I promise we'll look more into it though. Last updated: Fri, Feb 27 2015 10:16 pm EST
What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign's project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the project is locked down for shipping. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
Why can't I log into my account?
Request a login link to your survey by entering your email here:
BackerKit will send you an automated email with an invite link to whatever email you pledged with.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn't work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit" in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
When will my pledge will be shipped, charged or locked down?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project's status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
Can I upgrade or get multiple copies of my pledge?
This depends on the project creator's decision. If you are unable to see the 'Want to switch your pledge level?' after clicking on your pledge amount under "Pledge Level" in your survey, then the project creator would prefer people not to switch pledge levels.

"The value of a soul, who can estimate? Would you know its worth, go to Gethsemane, and there watch with Christ through those hours of anguish, when He sweat as it were great drops of blood. Look upon the Saviour uplifted on the cross. Hear that despairing cry, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" Mark 15:34. Look upon the wounded head, the pierced side, the marred feet. Remember that Christ risked all. For our redemption, heaven itself was imperiled. At the foot of the cross, remembering that for one sinner Christ would have laid down His life, you may estimate the value of a soul."
-- Christ's Object Lessons, pg. 196.
I have heard much talk, since GYC, about where.
Dozens of us were convinced. There's no question that we need to go. Now.
But where? Who needs mission work the most?
Let me tell you…
Those souls she's talking about, in that, one of my favorite quotes…
It matters not whether they are in New York, or Bangkok. Los Angeles, or London. That soul was me. It was you. And it is every other soul on the planet.
Each, worth risking heaven and eternity for, in His sight…
Each of us may devote our lives to mission work.
Each of us can answer the call.
No matter whether we end up in our neighborhood, or 10,000 miles from it.
Let's go seek the lost, amen?
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

Everywhere souls need Jesus. Our mission field can be our own neighborhood, own church.ReplyDeleteReplies
Something I'm learning to believe not just intellectually, but by heart.Delete
So true… Even though I may very likely end up in a foreign mission field, in a couple of years or so, I am surely not going to waste the moments I have now! (only by His grace though). I am really hoping to get involved in city missions, my other passion, while I'm waiting. And yes, it needs to be a heart thing… oh, to truly have that…Delete
Truly to know what the real value of soul is,we must look at what Jesus did at Gethsemane and Calvary! Oh that we might feel that burden of lost souls!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes... I never feel the burden as much, as when I read about those experiences of Christ. Yes, to feel the burden. Like Christ did... that's what I want so much!Thanks for sharing those thoughts, brother!Delete
