Ellen Pao lost her gender discrimination suit against Silicon Valley's most visible venture-capital firm — but the issues she raised will still swell into a tidal wave.
Silicon Valley faces continued scrutiny from critics who point to double standards that favor men in pay and performance reviews, a bias against hiring women and an alarming lack of evolution inside high tech's male-dominated culture.
Although Friday's verdict cleared VC firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers of gender discrimination against Pao, two similar suits recently brought by women against Facebook and Twitter indicate the subject is by no means exhausted.
"I'm grateful for my legal team for getting me my day in court," she said outside the courtroom. "If I've helped to level the playing field for women and minorities in venture capital, then the battle was well worth it."
Pao, a Princeton and Harvard Law graduate who filed suit in May 2012, was seeking $16 million in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages.
Now 45, she joined Kleiner in 2005 as technical chief of staff for John Doerr, the senior partner who also serves as the firm's public face.
Doerr initially mentored Pao, helping her to rise to junior investing partner.
But in deference to negative evaluations of Pao by other Kleiner partners, not to mention the firm's "up and out" promotion philosophy, Doerr didn't rescue her from being fired in October 2012 — five months after she had brought her sex-bias suit against the company.
The timing accounted for the strongest of the suit's four claims against Kleiner — that Pao was fired in retaliation.
The judge presiding over the 26-day trial in San Francisco Superior Court sent the 12-member jury back into deliberations Friday afternoon to ensure it had the requisite nine votes to clear Kleiner of that charge.
The jury emerged a second time — two and a half hours after delivering its initial verdict — with the vote change necessary to give Kleiner its clean sweep.
Pao had also claimed the firm retaliated against her after she complained about discrimination but before she was fired.
Her other two claims dealt directly with discrimination: one for allegedly practicing it on the basis of gender and another for not taking reasonable steps to prevent it.
Pao's suit lacked a smoking gun but turned on such social and professional indignities as being excluded from an all-male dinner with Al Gore and from meetings about potentially lucrative investment opportunities. Yet it served up enough salacious details to put Silicon Valley's sexist stereotypes on display.
In one instance, a senior Kleiner partner joked to a female underling that she should have been "flattered" when an uninvited male colleague appeared at her hotel door in just a bathrobe.
In another, Pao herself acknowledged dating a colleague for six months without being informed or discerning that he was living with his wife.
"Today's verdict reaffirms that Ellen Pao's claims have no legal merit," Kleiner said. "There is no question gender diversity in the workplace is an important issue. KPCB remains committed to supporting women in venture capital both inside our firm and within our industry."

I have recently been hiking as you can tell. Here is some back story on why. So we used to live in town where it was flat, easy to bike around and hang with friends, then we moved to a hill in the country so biking went away. Also after High school I slowed down physical actives ( gym class hero) I never did any school sports, only baseball little league for a year in 5th grade and when I was younger soccer, I did baseball camp for a few years. I was also the frisbee kid from playing catch to disc golf. I still play disc golf sometimes. I had this book of parks in Columbia county that my dad got me and started using it for my hikes, all these places I never knew about. Hiking has also thought me things such has be prepared before you leave, water, hiking stick, phone, charger and tell people where your going. If you are lost keep going because a road/trail will end up some where, Or go in the direction of where you came from. Having someone to go with you is a good thing because you will not be alone if you are lost or if some thing happens. Luckily I have not seen any bears yet " knock on wood".
I was just thinking another good thing about going hiking or exploring a new environment is that it makes you feel good and can help get your mind off things and see things you would not expect.

Gibson SWCD Promotes Roadside Buffer Program
Gibson County SWCD is continuing the Roadside Buffer Program that was started in June 2001. The buffers for roadside stabilization are limited to dangerous intersections of 90º turns. The first step is to identify the areas that qualify for this type of natural resource protection that will also enhance public safety.
The roadside stabilization program is not conntected with any other conservation programs, but can be implemented into your current conservation plan. Along with increasing public safety, the grass strips promote healthy soil by slowing water runoff, trapping sediment, and enhancing water infiltration in the buffer. Some roadside stabilization buffers have been increased in size to help reduce erosion on the field edge. The grassed strips can also offer a natural habitat for small wildlife. All these benefits can add up to better air quality.
This county-wide program is offered to owners and producers of acreage currently in production. With input from the producer, potential sites are evaluated to determine length, width, and size of buffer that will be the most beneficial for public safety and natural resouce protection.
If selected, applicants are offered a two-year "voluntary renewable" agreement with the Gibson County SWCD. Selected producers or landowners are paid in advance up to a maximum of $250 per acre, per year, or a minimum of $50 per year for less than 0.2 acre. To help get the grass strip started, a $10 one-time payment is given for seed cost.
For additional information, contact the Gibson County SWCD.

I try to photograph every ship that comes in to Hobart.
The ships include freighters, cruise liners, tankers, warships and luxury yachts.
I also include fishing boats and tugs.
This photographic mission is more than just a hobby. It's an obsession.
Some mornings I'm out at 6am. Some evenings, depending on the light, I could be out until 9pm.
Sometimes I use a tripod after dark, for night shots of vessels alongside at Risdon or in the port of Hobart.
There are several vantage points that I use for large vessels coming in to Hobart, ranging from Taroona to Risdon.
There's the CSIRO wharf, Alexandra Battery, end of Elizabeth Street Pier, the Cenotaph on the Domain, the base of the Tasman Bridge, Kangaroo Bluff, Rosny Hill, the Rosny foreshore, Cornelian Bay Cemetery, Self's Point, Nyrstar zinc works car park, the hills at east Risdon, and the foreshore at east Risdon.
The spot I choose depends on where the vessel will berth and the time of day.
The rule of thumb is: eastern shore in the mornings, western shore in the afternoons.
That way, the sun is in the right position.
On overcast days, either the eastern shore or western shore are optional.
I sometimes catch the MONA ferry just in order to get shots of vessels alongside from out on the river. Being out on the river is a great vantage point and one can get spectacular close-ups of ships.
When I have a ship from most conceivable angles, I go for the final angle – directly overhead, from the top of the navigation span on the Tasman Bridge.
It's a long way down and some of my fellow ship spotters and ship photographers refuse to go up there. Some go three-quarters of the way – which affords a very good perspective – but no higher.
It gets quite noisy up there, from the sound of the passing traffic to the howl of the wind through the bridge railings.
It's not illegal to be up there, but there is a red 'no walking' sign that comes on when a ship is about 20 minutes away from transiting the bridge.
It takes about 20 minutes to walk across the bridge, so anyone already on the bridge when the sign comes on will have enough time to cross to the other side.
I make sure the green 'walk' sign is on, when I start to climb either of the two footpaths that cross the bridge. It's not my fault that a ship is passing through just when I'm right at the top.
Okay, so I carry a milk crate with me to give me a little bit of extra height to look over the railings.
That has led to calls to police from concerned motorists. They think I'm a 'jumper'.
One day, a police motorcyclist stopped a whole lane of traffic to ask me if I was okay. I said I was just photographing a passing ship.
He suddenly recognised me (I used to be a teacher at the Tasmania police Academy) and said: "Oh, Mr Pless. That's okay. Carry on."
Three minutes before a ship is due to pass under the bridge, sirens begin to blare and all traffic is stopped at either end of the bridge.
For a few minutes, it becomes silent at the top of the bridge, except for the sound of the wind and the eerie sound of the ship cutting through the water, you can hear the gentle throb of its engines.
If there is no wind, one can sometimes hear the sound of conversations between crewmen on the deck of the vessel.
Sometimes, they look up and wave. I must look quite conspicuous standing alone on my milk crate at the very top of the bridge, looking down and taking photos.
On a few occasions, a lone police car, with lights flashing has arrived and parked beside me during the lull in traffic.
After ascertaining that I am all right and merely taking photographs, the police officer bids me farewell and races away, with the flashing lights turned off.
It's nice to know that someone cares enough to check the situation.
Within seconds, the noise of traffic resumes as all five lanes are filled with a never-ending stream of traffic, racing impatiently to their destinations after having been inconveniently held up while the ship passes.
I have known some ship photographers to use that lull in traffic to climb down on to the roadway, run across the five lanes and climb up the other side and photograph the ship moving away from the bridge.
I've never been game to try that. I'm not nimble enough and it would be disastrous to be caught on the roadway as the traffic flow resumes. I have a picture in my mind of a rabbit caught in the glare of headlights and transfixed with fear.
Photos of ships from the top of the bridge as they pass underneath are unique.
They make the eight-minute walk up to the top from the eastern shore worthwhile, even if carrying a milk crate as well as camera gear makes it a little awkward and attracts the attention of passing motorists.
Another eight minutes to get back down and the job is done. And, that's half of my daily walk for exercise, which usually entails a 35-minute walk, or eight laps of my local oval.

Shola quickly wiped at her cheeks. She turned around and forced her lips into a smile. "Hey honey" she cooed, walking towards his bed.
***5th July 2017***
"Babe I'm so sorry for the inconvenience…." Apologized Shola.
"Shut up jor" went Adaora, "what are best friends for? You've only been here three nights and you are already apologizing. Listen, you and David can stay till you sort yourselves out"
"Thank you." She glanced over at David who was engrossed with her iPad on the floor of the sitting room. Whereas, herself and Adaora occupied the dining table, with Adaora eating oranges.
"What are you going to do now, has he responded?" Adaora asked, calling Shola's focus back to her.
"Hmmn" Shola heaved a sigh, "He is not returning my calls, nor texts. The ones on WhatsApp are no longer even delivering; I think he's blocked me"
"Hei, But Alex sef, can't he just hear you out? I mean, give you a chance to at least explain?"
She dragged down the corners of her lips, "For where? Even yesterday evening that they were discharging David, I called to inform him, called and called, he didn't pick. I paid the bills myself"
"Na whao. But babe wait first, all these while ,you didn't know?" Adaora asked.
She shrugged No.
"…And it was just that once?"
"Just that day, I've not cheated on Alex since we got married"
"But why didn't you take something na"
"You know me and Deji used to do this safe period thing, and I never got pregnant, "she paused to hold up a finger, "not even once, all through our two years together, so I didn't imagine that it would fail that day cause I was on my safe period.."
Adaora exhaled, and put a hand to her chin. She stared at her friend, who's gaze was now fixed to the floor, with hands clasped on top of the wooden table. She was recounting the events of 14thFebruary, bitterly, in her mind.
"Will you tell Deji?"
"I don't know.." she shook her head, without lifting it.
"Don't you think he has a right to know? I mean, that he has a son"
"Babes, let me fix my marriage first," she lifted her head this time, "I love Alex, I cannot afford to lose him"
Adaora sighed, "I understand" She paused, and then continued, "I have an idea"
"How about I talk to him, you know, make him see reason… since he won't speak to you"
"You think he will listen to you?"
"I don't know but, let me try, abi do you want the news to get to your family?"
"Of course not. " She lifted her palm to her temple, "God, the thought of that makes me sick. Do you think he has told them already? I mean, my mum would call if he has, right?"
"That is why I need to see him, there's a way I would talk to him that I will uncover how much any other person knows, even your parents"
Shola sighed, "Okay, you can give it a try, but be careful cause he's really mad right now, the way he threw me out that day, I wouldn't want him to do the same thing to you"
"Don't worry" she replied, standing to her feet "I won't push" She picked up her eaten oranges into the plate, and began to walk towards the kitchen.
Shola glanced over at David, who was now smiling at the screen in his hand.
***7th July 2017***
Alex had been drinking, indoors for the past days. Unable to go to work, unable to eat, unable to do much of anything, he found himself in a state of suspended animation. His mother stayed with him, persuading him to get himself to do some activity, to no avail. She wasn't even sure he had had a proper night sleep since the discovery.
Determined to get through to him, she left for the market that morning to buy some ingredients to make his favorite soup – Ofe Owerri, hopeful that, that would do the trick.
Appreciative of his mother's efforts but completely out of his appetite, he trudged to the bathroom to take a shower – he was beginning to stink, even to himself.
He stood under the running water, eyes shut with his head thrown backwards. Relaxing, as the warm water cascaded down his taut naked body..
Memories of the day David was born came rushing into his mind – he was most of what he thought of, him, and some of Shola – as much as he would hate to admit that part.
It was raining that morning at 3.am. He had woken up a few minutes before that time and got working on his computer when Shola abruptly woke up from sleep. She complained that her waist stung and then said she felt better. But as she tried to go back to sleep, she screamed that it was stinging again.
Concerned as she was only two weeks away from her due date (he kept all her dates on his calendar, even her ante natal days) he suggested that they go to the hospital, but Shola refused as she confirmed that the stinging had stopped.
Barely ten minutes later, she cried again and this time Alex was determined to get her to the hospital. He hurriedly got her dressed, picked up her delivery bag which he had helped pack weeks before that day, he wore the bag over his shoulder, put a tee shirt on and some joggers.
He grabbed his car keys and carried a now yelping Shola into his arms and out to the front door.
It was raining cat and dogs outside and the umbrella was in the back of his car. The other umbrella he could think of was somewhere down in the basement of the house.
As he contemplated whether to go back into the house to retrieve that umbrella or damn the rain and get into it with his pregnant wife, Shola's water broke, right in his arms.
"Shit!" he swore, he had read books on what to expect when expecting so he understood this to mean that the baby was close.
With his groaning wife in his arms and his heart beating fast, he leaned his upper body over her to shield her stomach, ducked his head and entered into the rain.
He ran towards his car.
Even for a strong man like himself, Shola's weight was straining his arms, and it strained it even further as he fidgeted with the car keys in an effort to unlock the door.
The key dropped to the floor and he had to bend down, with Shola in his arms, feel the watery floor for the key, find it, grind his teeth and stretch back up to open the door.
He succeeded in opening the car this time and laid Shola unto the back seat, shut the door and hurried over to the driver's side…
His memory jumped to the moment when they got to the hospital and he insisted on carrying her into the labor room…..
Memories of him hovering over the head of a lamenting Shola as the nurse encouraged her to push. His hand smoothening her hair backwards and his face staring down into hers as she wailed and screamed, with her legs spread wide apart…..
The memory of him hearing the first cry of David as his tiny voice announced his presence into the world…
The memory of the nurse saying, "Your son is here.." and him walking to the foot of the bed to receive the tiny being covered in vernix caseosa into his arms…..
Alex shook his head to push away the thoughts. He reached out his hand, turned off the water and stepped out of the shower stall. He grabbed a towel, tied it round his waist and heard the doorbell ring.
Wondering what could make his mother return so early in spite of the usual Lagos traffic, he trudged out of his bedroom and towards the front door with nothing but his white towel around his waist.
"Coming!" he announced as the bell rang again.
He unlocked the door and frowned as his eyes met a meek looking Adaora.
Instantly, he noticed the bandage white dress she wore that was barely reaching her knees, her conspicuous cleavage and tall red stiletto heels.
He lifted his eyes back up to her face and stared at her with a poker face.
"Hi Alex" she greeted, holding unto her red tiny strap purse. "Can I come in?"
"Shola is not here"
"I know, she's with me" She breathed out then, held out her hand, "Look, she told me everything. I'm equally as angry as I can imagine that you are, totally disappointed, and that's why I'm here. Can I please come in?..… I come in peace" she added when he remained still. "I went to your office first, you weren't there, this would only take a few minutes, I promise"
Alex ran his eyes down and up her body one more time, stepped aside and gave her passage into the building.
Adaora walked into the ante room and walked herself into the sitting room, roaming her eyes over the home and wondering how it still looked clean even with Shola's absence, she had planned on suggesting to clean the place and maybe cook him something
Damn whoever invented house maids..
"You have to make this quick" Alex spoke behind her, causing her to stop walking and spin around, "As you can see, I was just stepping out of the shower"
Of course she could see, she had seen right from the door.
She smiled slyly, running her eyes up and down his chiseled slightly wet chest, arms…and that V shape of his torso. Oh! How she had touched herself so many times to the image of him..
She shook her head to regain her composure but Alex already caught that lust in her eyes and the biting of her lower lip.
"I just want to say I'm sorry for what my friend has done to you, I mean, I can't believe she could do that to you after…"
As she spoke, Alex placed one foot in front of the other, and then another. Throughout his three years of being married to Shola, Adaora had given him seductive signals one too many times.
Thrice, she sent her nude photos to his WhatsApp, only to call right afterwards to apologize, stating that it was a mistake, begging that he ignored it. And he always wondered why she didn't just make use of the WhatsApp delete for everyone feature, how convenient it was for her to make the same mistake, thrice.
He didn't tell his wife because he didn't want her to hurt, but he blocked Adaora's number and kept the thirty year old at bay, all to the disapproval of his wife, who thought he disliked her best friend for no reason.
But not anymore. Right now, as she stood there, blabbing about what a good man he was, and how much he didn't deserve what her best friend did to him, he took his final step to stand right in front of her. He didn't care about morals, not any more.
Damn morality! Damn Shola!! Damn his marriage!! Damn every woman!!!
He unknotted his towel and let it fall to the ground.
He would smirk at the expression of Adaora gapping at his size, but the pain in his heart didn't let him.
Like a hungry dog, she dropped to her knees and took him into her mouth, hungrily…
This was a dream come true for Adaora, she couldn't believe how easy this was going. After desiring this man for three years, the fact that she had a boyfriend not stopping her, here he was, naked, in her mouth, oh! the heavens must have heard the desires of her heart, and so she drooled on him, determined to give him a sucking she could bet Shola did not have the expertise to…
As soon as Alex felt himself charged up, he lifted her by the arm to stand on her feet, moved with her to the couch, pushed her over, and roughly pushed her dress up to her waist….
"Uuhhhhh" she chuckled.
She had no panties on.
He could see her vulva shimmering with overflowing juice. He rubbed his hard on, thinking about condoms.
He didn't have any… but, his security guard may..
"Give me a sec" he excused himself, picked up his towel and tied it back around his waist.
A grinning Adaora turned over, "Okay" she cooed, seductively.
He didn't notice, because he didn't care.
He walked to his front door, and as he called out to the security man, Adaora quickly came out of her dress, and brassiere. Alex had to see her curvaceous body, especially her flat stomach, he had to see that she was better than his wife..
"I – I get," the security guard responded to Alex, taken aback by such an unusual request coming from his boss, "I dey come Sir" he ran off, without questions
Alex took a few steps backwards to glance at Adaora. He noticed that she was spread out on his couch, stark naked, assuming a pose that was supposed to be sexy. He rolled his eyes and got back to standing by the door.
The security guard ran back and handed him a Durex condom, Alex hadn't used this in years. He received it from the young man, looked it over and thanked him.
Shutting his door, and turning the lock, he began to walk back into the living room, with his member asleep.
She squirmed her body and sat up on the couch as he closed in on her. He dropped his towel and she got down on her knees, to make him hard again.
She noticed the condom between his fingers and smiled up at him, "You know, we don't really need that.."
"Thunder fire you there!" he thought to himself, but, half smirked instead.
Adaora worked her tongue on him until his shaft came alive.
Turning her in the former position, he tore the small sachet open, pulled out the protective rubber and wore it over himself. Then, in the most careless way, he plunged into her.
"Owwwh! So har-rd" she gasped, chuckling.
He rolled his eyes and made sure he fucked her, roughly.
She could not believe that Shola's husband was finally inside her, "You like how tight that pussy feels?" she dropped her head moaning, convinced that she felt better than her friend, after all, she had never given birth before..
But all Alex cared about was cumming,and he could not wait to get there and get this over with.
He had to give it to her though, the girl was moist, very moist, and warm, but, she was not Shola.
With his wife's face coming to his mind, he shut his eyes and thought about how beautiful he always thought she looked whenever they made love, all so passionately…
The way she moaned, softly…
The way she shut her eyes, tightly…
The way her nails dug into the skin on his back…
The feel of her thick thighs enveloping his frame, urging him further … deeper into her..
Her parted lips, the way she turned her head and cried for more of him…
He felt himself begin to enlarge, his dick twitched violently and thick semen came spluttering forth.
"Oh gosh, that was intense" a happy Adaora commented, dropping down on the couch.
Why did he still think of Shola after what she had done to him, to them?
"That was so nice babe" He heard Adaora say as he removed the semen stained condom.
His eyebrows came together in a frown at the sound of her calling him babe, he picked up his towel and walked to the guest toilet to flush off the condom.
He got back to find Adaora meandering on the sofa, touching her boobs.
He felt irritated. "My mum would be back any moment.."
"Your mum!" she jolted upright and reached for her dress to the amusement of Alex, "I thought she had left" she stressed, picking up her brassiere and wearing it hurriedly.
"No, she's still here, she only stepped out to the market, but she'll be back any minute"
"No wonder your house looks tidy" she spoke as she stood to her feet and stepped into her dress.
"Your house, its clean, thought it was a maid"
"Oh no, it's my mum"
"I have to go, she can't find me here" she was dressing speedily.
Alex sat down on the sofa, spread out his arms and watched her in amusement, the girl knew what shame meant after all.
She picked up her purse and turned to Alex, "So, talk later?"
He pulled down the corner of his lips and shrugged.
"Okay bye" she bade, and hastened towards the door.
Shola, 1:17pm
Babes, how did it go?
Adoara, 1:23pm
He said he will think about it, just getting to the house now. I think it will turn out well..
Shola, 1:24pm
Oh thank God! You're such a good friend babes, thanks for doing this for me. In a meeting, can't call, talk better when I get home. Picking David by 3.
Adaora, 1:30pm.
Okay, Ttyl.
Shola, 1:31pm
😘 🙏🏼
***9th JULY 2017***
Ding dong!
"That must be Ifeanyi" Alex's mother remarked and rose to get the door.
Alex glanced over his shoulder at his mother, who was taking quick steps towards the door, "How do you know it's Ifeanyi?"
She ignored his question and pulled the door open, "Welcome my son."
"Ah mama good afternoon ma"
"Welcome, come inside…. "
She shut the door and followed the tall young man into the sitting room where Alex sat watching the television.
"Look at him there. Please, help me talk to him, I have tried but he won't listen to me". With that, she picked up her plate of fruits and excused the two men.
Ifeanyi had a look of confusion on his face as he observed his closest friend – looking like a mess, not at work, with a bottle of Gold label by 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
"Bruh, how far na, wetin dey happen?" He sat down at the edge of the sofa, adjacent to Alex's, he rested his elbows on his knees "Mumsy called me saying some stuff, what's going on?"
Alex hissed.
"How's Shola, David, gone to school?" he looked around.
"Bruh!" he shook his head.
"David is not my son"
Ifeanyi's brows jerked up in surprise, "What?"
Alex shook his head in dismay. He took a sip from the tumbler in his hand.
Ifeanyi peeled his glasses off his eyes, placed them besides himself on the sofa. "How did you come about this revelation?"
"You were aware of David's illness, all that time we were in the hospital.." Ifeanyi nodded his head. "It turned out to be severe malaria. The doctor said he needed some blood transfusion, and asked me for it as the father concerned"
Ifeanyi bobbed his head repeatedly.
"Tests were carried out, normal level. Turns out, my son…. Or rather, David's genotype is AS, whereas I am AA…"
"My goodness.."
"Shola herself is AA, so there's no way.."
Ifeanyi folded his arms across his chest "Woah.."
"The doctor's exact words to me were, 'we would need the boy's father'.."
"Woah.." he put a fist to his mouth.
"Pikin wey all these while, I have loved and nurtured.."
"Bruh, this thing wey I dey watch for movie don do me so, like film! My Shola, never in a million years could I have imagined" He lifted his glass to his lips, but Ifeanyi hurled towards him, collected the tumbler and picked up the bottle
"Easy bruh, you've already gone half the bottle." He sat back in his chair, placing the tumbler and the bottle on the floor next to his leg.
Both men maintained a moment of silence, each lost in his own thoughts.
The voice of the commentator from the TV filled the living room. A sweet aroma of food gently emanated from the kitchen, his mother, obviously cooking something.
"Her friend was here yesterday," Alex broke the silence, "her best friend"
"The girl has been giving me signals for a long time.."
"Her best friend?"
Alex hissed in affirmation. "She practically came seducing me, and Shola is taking refuge at her place, even as we speak"
Ifeanyi ran his hand down his face, "That's really messed up."
"Women? Yet they say we are scum. When they don't even like themselves"
Silence fell between them again.
They turned their focus to the television, watching the screen without either of them actually interested in the match playing on the big screen.
"You know, I never cheated on Shola.."
Ifeanyi looked at him, "Not once?"
He shook his head, "Not even once. Which is funny cause you know how I used to be with these chicks na, normal level, but with her, I just didn't feel that desire to be with another woman, you know? And then I got that big promotion and work got busier so I just focused whatever time I had on her, was the best version of myself, fucking best, yet, she played me like this"
"I'm really sorry to hear all this…"
"Scum bruh. Women?" he dragged his lips downwards, tutted and shook his head "They are all scum."
***20th July 2017***
Shola's parents occupied one twin sofa.
Alex sat on a single sofa, with Shola kneeling besides him. Alex's mother was on another couch, looking completed displeased and angry. She would shoot glances at Shola who had her back to her, then at her parents as if blaming the behavior of their child on them.
Shola wasn't wearing her wig today neither was she all glammed up, she came wearing her corn rows, a simple dress and a remorseful demeanor.
She had her palms together, staring at her husband and regretting why she ever went to meet Deji on that 14th day of February.
Her parents had pleaded on her behalf all afternoon, but Alex still wouldn't as much as look at her.
"Please forgive your wife" her father continued, "marriage is not easy my son, just forgive her, especially since it happened a long time ago"
"Daddy if it were mummy that brought another man's child to your house, will you forgive her?"
Her father kept silent.
"This woman deceived me daddy, all these years, she made me love a child that was not mine, a child who's father is probably still out there…"
"Babe it was a mistake" Shola's voice interrupted, "I have never cheated on you since we got married.."
"But you cheated on me while we were planning our wedding…" He looked her way for the first time since they came into the house. She looked pale, he noticed, sad with eye bags under her red looking eyes..
"Hmn!" his mother tutted, shaking her leg, "Tufiakwa!"
"Didn't you?" Alex demanded.
Shola slowly nodded.
"So what difference does it make? Where we not a couple then? Or was I not doing it right for you"
"Chai!" his mother snapped her fingers, jerking her shoulders in a shrug.
Shola's mother had been unable to say much as she felt completely ashamed.
"You were babe, it was a moment of weakness, but it was just that day," she held out a finger, "I've never been with him again, I don't even have his number, I don't even know his whereabouts"
"Well daddy, I don't know if I can forgive nor forget, I need time to think"
His mother nodded fiercely in support of her son.
"We can take the boy" Shola's mother suggested, "We will take him to live with us"
"I am completely ashamed of my daughter's behavior. As a knight and how disciplined we raised her, this news is disheartening, as a matter of fact, she couldn't tell me to my face, she had to go through her mother who only informed me of the situation after she had left. She knows I'm not happy with her, she knows" he gestured his hand towards Shola, "But the word of God says, to err is human and to forgive is divine, so I plead with you my son to forgive your wife, I commend you so much for containing this matter so far.."
Shola's mother nodded in agreement, and her husband continued,
"Not many men would do that, but you've covered her shame even in your pain, and so we ask you to please go further by creating a space in your heart to forgive her.."
Shola's mother slid down the sofa to join her daughter on her knees, "Please my son.."
"Ah mama," Alex stood from his chair and rushed to stop his mother in law's knees from touching the ground, "Get up, don't kneel down for me" he said, holding her by the arms.
"Let me kneel my son,"
"No mama, no" he held unto her.
"Then you have to promise me that you will at least think about it" she pleaded, tearfully staring into her son in law's eyes.
"Okay mama, I will think about it, just stand up please"
She pitifully cocked her head to the side, "You promise?"
"Yes mama, I promise"
"Thank you by son" she allowed Alex guide her back to her sofa, with Alex's mother hissing loudly by the side.
"You see what you've caused abi? he commented to Shola as he stepped back to his seat, "your mother is here kneeling for you"
He lowered himself into the sofa and said,
"Daddy you people can go home, give me some time to think"
"Okay my son" her father responded, "Thank you for your time"
He rose to his feet and his wife followed suit, "OluwaniShola, let us go"
She hesitated, staring at Alex who's gaze was fixated on the Television before him.
"Get up, your husband needs time to think" her father continued, "get up".
She glanced over her shoulders at her mother in law who gave a loud hiss, sprung from her couch and walked away, into the house.
Alex maintained his gaze, hands spread out on the arms of his sofa.
Shola sniffed, slowly rose from the floor and walked to her parents, looking sideways at Alex as she went.
"Thank you" the mother spoke, "bye bye"
"Mama bye bye" he responded, without looking back at them.
The three of them walked out of what used to be Shola's home.
***5th March 2018***
Alex did not contact Shola's parents as promised.
Shola soon understood that her marriage was over. She lived every day, imagining that day to be the day that she would receive divorce papers from Alex.
He still won't speak to her nor return her texts, and she still won't contact Deji who Adaora had informed her was now married himself.
Adaora encouraged her to inform Deji of their son, but she wanted nothing to do with Deji, so she didn't.
Adaora went back to visit Alex at his house but this time around, he won't let her in. After stalking his house to no avail, she got the message that he didn't want her. This made her resentful towards Shola and her son and her behavior changed towards them.
She would yell at David over trivial things, and pick up fights with Shola for no just cause. One day, Shola got back to the house to meet Adaora beating David with a slippers.
That incidence caused Shola to begin to look for her own place.
In three Months, she found a condo of her choice, not too far from her office and by the fifth month, she moved into it with David.
She built her world around her son, went to work, wore sweet smiles while deep within, hurting and praying to God for Alex to forgive and take her back.
She prayed so much that she made it a point of duty to wake up, 12 midnight of everyday to pray to God to fix her marriage and reunite her with her husband.
***1st January 2019***
Ogun State.
Shola had just finished having breakfast with her parents and David. They came visiting during the Christmas break and decided to stay till the New year.
She rose from the table and went into her room to take a bath, when her phone chimed on her bed.
She had been getting messages from friends and colleagues all morning, most of which were broadcast messages.
Tired of replying, she undressed, and began to walk towards the bathroom.
On a second thought, she paused by her bed, picked up her phone to quickly reply before stepping into the shower..
She gasped for joy as she viewed the text..
H❤bby, 10:30am
Happy new year Shola.
Quickly, she began to type a reply..
Shola, 10:32am
Happy new year to you too Alex…
How are you?..
H❤bby, 10:34am
I am well.
How are you too… and David?
She laughed happily, with tears of joy gathering in the corners of her eyes. She lowered herself down to the bed and excitedly crossed her legs.
Shola 10:35am
We are fine… he misses you..
H❤bby 10:36a.m
And his mum?
She chuckled to herself, covering a hand over her mouth.
Shola 10:37a.m
She misses you too, aplenty.
H❤bby 10:38a.m
Dinner, tonight?
Shola 10:40a.m
H❤bby 10:41a.m

I'm on Twitter as @ursulav and Tumblr as tkingfisher, my Amazon author pages are here and here and I guess that's pretty much everything. If you need me, you can't throw a rock without hitting me online these days.
I've loved my time here and I'll be grateful forever for what it used to be. It kept me alive a few times. I love you all.
I've seen some of the migration talk too, which made me think it was time. Herding behavior, probably...

Yesterday, the Trainspotting 2 trailer came out. It begins, "Choose life. Choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and hope that someone, somewhere cares…" As trite and cliched as it may seem- it is what many in western society seeks today. I have high hopes for the movie sequel (total pun intended) coming out this January.
Twenty years ago, the first film graced the cinemas. The original movie was equally as disturbing as it was fantastic. Besides following the lives of drug addicts, it laid out what life in western society was meant to be.
Like every other twentysomething at that time, I had the poster expressing the goals that everyone was supposed to accomplish. It was pinned up in the washroom of the rental home I shared with three to five other adults- depending if their girlfriends were there at the time… For years, I saw that poster and it became ingrained in my mind.
In a way, it turned into the mantra of my life. I have followed or done nearly everything written on this poster… But the one line I have not chosen is "Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself…" That is where I wish to break the cycle. Maybe twenty or thirty years from now I can say for sure.
But for now, I choose my future.
I choose life.

In your study of Friulian, you have now reached the thirty-third chapter of the book of Genesis, where the subjects are: incuintri cun Esaù (meeting with Esau), Jacop al compre il cjamp di Sichem (Jacob buys the land at Shechem).
If you are arriving on this site for the first time, begin your study of the Friulian language here.
Read Gjenesi 33
To read the Friulian text of the Bible associated with the notes below or listen to its audio, visit Bibie par un popul and consult Gjenesi 33. An archived version of the text can be found here.
Versets 1-5
Vocabulary: alçâ i vôi (to lift one's eyes, to look up), compagnât di (accompanied by), dividi (to divide, to separate), il frut (child), devant (in front), plui indaûr (farther behind), plui indaûr ancjemò (farther behind still), intant (meanwhile), passâ denant (to move ahead, to pass in front), butâsi par tiere (to take to the ground [in deference]), siet voltis (seven times), prime di (before), lâ dongje (to approach, to go near), cori incuintri (to run towards), strengi (to squeeze; also written strenzi), strengi tai braçs (to take into one's arms; that is, to hug, to embrace; literally, to squeeze in one's arms), cjapâ a bracecuel (to throw one's arms around one's neck, to embrace), bussâ (to kiss), vaî (to cry, to weep), fâ la gracie di (to bestow, to make the concession of).
In verse 1, you read that Jacob lifts his eyes and sees Esau coming: al viodè Esaù che al rivave (he saw Esau who was arriving). Esau was not alone: [al jere] compagnât di cuatricent oms (he was accompanied by four hundred men). You then read: al dividè i fruts fra Lie, Rachêl e lis dôs siervis, which you will understand as meaning he separated the children between Leah, Rachel and the two handmaids.
In verse 2, you find a number of usages that indicate position in relation to others: al metè devant lis siervis cui lôr fruts (he put the handmaids with their childen at the front), plui indaûr Lie cui siei fruts (Leah with her children farther behind) e plui indaûr ancjemò Rachêl e Josef (and Rachel and Joseph farther behind still).
> indaûr
>> plui indaûr
>>> plui indaûr ancjemò
You will recognise, in verse 4, a vairin as being the third-person plural of the passât sempliç of the verb vaî (to cry, to weep).
In verse 5, Esau asks Jacob who the people accompanying him are: cui ese cheste int che tu âs li? (who are these people that you have here?). You will notice that Friulian uses the third-person singular form of the verb with la int because it is a singular noun; English uses the plural people: cui ese cheste int? (who are these people?). Jacob responds to the question: a son i fruts (they are the children) che Diu al à volût (whom God was willing) fâi la gracie al so famei (to bestow upon his servant). You will have recognised volût as being the past participle of the verb volê.
Versets 6-11
Vocabulary: in fin (finally, in the end), domandâ (to ask), cjatâ pe strade (to find on one's way; in other contexts, this can mean to find in the street, to come across when out and about), vê a grât (to have in one's favour, to look favourably upon), avonde (enough), tignî (to keep), preâ (to pray, to beg), il regâl (gift), compagn che (as though, just as), un acet (welcome, reception; that is, the act of receiving someone), fâ un acet di cûr (to receive warmly, to give a warm reception), cjoli (to take), puartâ (to bring), judâ (to help), vê fin parsore il cjâf di (to have a great deal of, to have more than enough of), midiant che (given that), tignî dûr (to hold steadfast, to insist), acetâ (to accept).
Esau, in verse 8, asks Jacob about the large number of animals: ce ese dute chê mandrie (what is all that flock) che o ai cjatade pe strade? (that I found on my way?). Jacob responds by saying: e je par che il gno paron mi vedi a grât (it is so that my lord may have me in his favour). You will remember that al vedi is the masculine, third-person singular of the coniuntîf presint of the verb vê.
il gno paron mi à a grât
par che il gno paron mi vedi a grât
my lord has me in his favour
so that my lord may have me in his favour
In verse 9, Esau tells Jacob that he has enough of his own: fradi, o ai avonde robe (brother, I have enough): tegniti ce che al è to (keep for yourself what is yours). You will recall that, depending on context, la robe can mean thing[s], stuff, stock, possessions. In colloquial usage, o ai avonde robe could be used, for example, in the sense of I have enough stuff, I have enough things.
Jacob insists that Esau accept his gift. In verse 10, he says: no, ti prei (no, please; no, I insist; literally, no, I pray you). He also says: cjape des mês mans il gno regâl (take my gift from my hands). Although I pray you is formal in English, its Friulian equivalent ti prei is not; it is often used where English says please.
Still in verse 10, Jacob says to Esau: jo o soi vignût denant di te (I have come before you) compagn che si va denant di Diu (just as one comes before God). He comments on the reception that Esau has given him: tu mi âs fat un acet di cûr (you have received me warmly). You will recall that il cûr is the Friulian for heart; more literally, fâ un acet di cûr might be understood as meaning to give a heart-felt reception.
In verse 11, Jacob continues to insist with his brother. He says: Diu mi à judât (God has helped me) e ind ài fin parsore il cjâf (and I have more than enough; literally, I have of it over the head).
Versets 12-17
Vocabulary: gjavâ (to remove), gjavâ lis tendis (to dismantle the tents), partî (to leave), savê pûr che (to know well that), delicadut (delicate, tender, fragile), mi tocje di (I have to, I must), la piore (sheep), la vacje di lat (milk cow), strapaçâ (to overwork, to wear out), dome une dì (just one day), a planc a planc (little by little, bit by bit, slowly), a pas cun (in step with), permeti (to allow, to permit), almancul (at least), lassâ (to leave, to give), un pocje di (some of, a bit of), bastâ (to be sufficient), ta chê stesse dì (on the same day), tornâ de bande di (to return towards, to head back to), partî par (to leave for), fâ sù (to build, to erect), cjasais pai nemâi (huts for the animals), par chel (therefore, for this reason), meti non (to name), il lûc (site, spot). Name: Sucot (Succoth).
In verse 12, you find two first-person plural imperative forms: gjavìn (let us remove) and partìn (let us leave). In the same verse, you will recognise o larai as being the first-person singular of the futûr sempliç of the verb lâ.
In verse 13, Jacob says the following about his animals: se si strapacilis (if one overworks them) dome une dì (even one day; literally; only one day) mi van dutis lis bestiis (all the beasts will die on me; literally, all the beasts will go on me). The verb strapaçâ means to overwork, to wear out. Se si strapace can be understood as meaning if one overworks, and se si strapacilis as if one overworks them.
You will recognise, in verse 14, al ledi as being the masculine, third-person singular of the coniuntîf presint of the verb lâ. You read: che al ledi alore il gno paron (may my lord then go) denant dal so famei (before his servant). A little farther along, you find the third-person plural form a ledin, when you read: daûr che a ledin i fruts (may the children go behind). In the same verse still, Jacob also says: fin che o rivarai li dal gno paron, a Seir (until I arrive unto my lord, at Seir; literally, until I shall arrive).
Esau, in verse 15, says to Jacob: tu permetarâs almancul (you will at least allow) che ti lassi (that I leave you) un pocje di chê int (some of those people) che o ai cun me (whom I have with me). Jacob responds by asking: parcè po? (but why?, but for what reason?; literally, why then?). He continues by saying: mi baste (it is sufficient to me) che il gno paron mi vedi a grât (that my lord have me in his favour); in other words, it is enough for me that my lord have me in his favour.
Versets 18-20
Vocabulary: san e salf (safe and sound), in face de citât (before the city, facing the city), comprâ (to buy), un toc d'arint (piece of silver), comprâ par cent tocs d'arint (to buy for one hundred pieces of silver; that is, to buy at the price of one hundred pieces of silver), la part (part, parcel, piece), la campagne (land, open), plantâ une tende (to pitch a tent), fâ sù un altâr (to erect an altar), clamâ (to call). Name: Camor (Hamor), El (El; that is, God), Israel (Israel).
In verse 19, you read that Jacob buys the portion of land where he had pitched his tent: al comprà […] la part di campagne (he bought the portion of land) là che al veve plantade la sô tende (where he had pitched his tent). He obtained it for one hundred pieces of silver: par cent tocs d'arint (for one hundred pieces of silver).
You read in verse 20: e li al fasè sù un altâr (and there he erected an altar) che lu clamà (which he called): «El al è il Diu di Israel» ("El is the God of Israel"). The Friulian El al è il Diu di Israel is a translation of the Hebrew name given to the altar.

Hiring landscape contractors is indispensable if you want to have a beautifully designed residential garden. These professionals provide different types of clients with a range of services. They will check the condition and size of your yard and assist you in creating a pleasant and good-looking atmosphere. Nevertheless, in order to locate a trustworthy landscaping service San Diego homeowners must consider certain factors.
Use the first meeting with your landscaper to provide information about the type of trees, plants and other necessary features. If you want a specific plant or feature, you have to let the company know in advance. They can then tell you whether it is a suitable choice.
Many of these contractors make use of software when designing projects for their clients. This software can produce a simulation of the lawn, plants, trees and other items. This makes it possible to see what the finished product will look like. You can also be provided with alternative designs so you can choose the most appealing.
Sometimes the addition of features such as ponds, fountains and mini waterfalls can be used to add a special touch. If there is enough space, the designer can easily set up one of these peaceful elements. However, this is dependent on the availability of water and adequate drainage facility.
Many additional alternatives can be used to offer a better appeal. Sidewalks and patios might be recommended for houses with larger yards. Furthermore, large spaces can be divided into small gardens. Terraced designs may be utilized for a sloping property in order to create a normal transition for the places that are elevated.
Select a capable landscaper if you are interested in creating an outstanding curb appeal for your house. This professional will think about the most attractive designs and will make sure that the entire plans are implemented properly. Additionally, the firm can also offer future maintenance services.

First Generation Pilot ?? Picture it: a boy from small town Ohio looking up at the sky at airplanes longing to ride one let alone fly one. Though I had the full support of my family, I'm the first to pursue a career in aviation. In many ways, I had to go at it my own and figure out the path myself • I get asked a lot about why I wanted to be a pilot and what path I took to get where I am, so I'm working on some content that can hopefully answer those questions!

When I booked a weekend getaway for a few days of pre-NYE relaxing, I chose Mexico over England, thinking I'd want some sunshine in the middle of winter. PV averages two days of rain per month in the Winter, and turns out those two days were Saturday and Sunday of this past week. But if you think that stopped me from sipping my marg and laying by the beach like it was 90 and sunny, you're dead wrong. Bye 2018

Subject: P1394> Feature Directory for an initiator?
I've made almost all the changes ratified in Denver to a new PPDT_r07.
However, when it came time to construct a feature directory for an initiator
(with one entry, that identifies its support of "reverse login" ... or not),
I recalled a bit of history I wish I had remembered face-to-face in Denver.
At an earlier meeting (I don't recall if it was Copenhagen or Anchorage),
idea of a feature directory for initiators was discussed. The working group
consensus was NOT in favor. My recollection is of two reasons: a) service ID
discovery was is still too poorly articulated to be of much use to targets
querying initiators and b) if the ONLY purpose of an initiator feature
directory is to characterize support for "reverse login" it is much simpler
for the target to just send something to MESSAGE_REQUEST and see what
Especially in light of the NOP function added to the MESSAGE_REQUEST format,
the second point seems particularly relevant.
In short, unless someone thinks that we should add an initiator feature
directory for other purposes, I'm in favor of "pinging" an initiator at
MESSAGE_REQUEST to see if it supports "reverse login".
Regardless of the outcome of this thread, I'm going to publish PPDT_r07 in a
few days. There's lots of other useful information we agreed in Denver.

Focus: HOPE, in partnership with Neighborhood Service Organization, is hosting a forum for the full- term-election ballot candidates of Michigan's 13th United States Congressional District. In its 50th year of service to overcome racism, poverty and injustice, this forum marks only the second of its kind to be hosted on Focus: HOPE's campus. "Previously we held that involvement in such activities might undermine our nonpartisan efforts to serve the community," said Vern Anthony, Focus: HOPE's interim CEO." But today's nasty political climate necessitates that Focus: HOPE serves as a platform for the metro Detroit community to both be heard as well as hear from those who wish to represent it."
The first forum to be hosted was for last year's highly publicized district 2 Detroit City council race. District 2 makes up the vast majority of HOPE Village, the 107-residential block neighborhood surrounding Focus: HOPE and other high-performing agencies such as Neighborhood Service Organization and the Parkman Branch Library. Some of the candidates reported this being the most organized and well-attended forum in which they had participated during their entire race. "It's important to us and our partners to ensure we are reaching those who are not typically at the table," said Anthony.
WHO: Open to all Metro Detroiters. Children are welcome under close supervision of an adult. Dinner will be provided. This event is free and open to the public.
WHEN: Friday, July 13, 2018, 6-8 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

First off, I hope everyone had an amazing holiday season. Second, you know you are a tad behind when you are finally blogging about Christmas sessions haha. So I am going to be completely honest the holidays put me a little behind on my website because I chose to focus on time with the family & some time to myself (which I never usually have). Now it is time to catch back up!!
I was super excited about this session because I got to capture my favorite twins again, Harper & Walter. We chose to do an in-home session. Harper & Walter were just starting to sit up all on their own & now as of a few days ago they are completely sitting up on their own. It honestly has to be one of the coolest things to watch your friends babies grow. Walter was not having it during this photo session so we put on Baby Shark to help on repeat haha. Kudos to you Emilie for listening to this song constantly because it was stuck in my head forever, but in all honesty was totally worth it.
Here are a few of my favs:
Emile & Sam you seriously have the cutest little family & I am so lucky to be able to capture your moments. Emilie you are an amazing mom & I am so so proud of you. It is so crazy to think back to freshman year of high school eating all the Takis & watching Mulan with our cheese crisps. Love you guys lots & can't wait to watch your family continue to grow.
Much Love,

Why Customer Service Still Matters
When interacting with brands/companies or businesses in general, you're bound to deal with people at some point in the process. Even the savviest, most tech-driven companies have really great customer service. Why? Well, they value the importance of keeping customers happy; happy customers buy things. Happy customers who buy things once will probably buy things again and again and again...satisfied customers are great for business. It doesn't take a genius to know this! But in case you need a few reminders, I've got three reasons why brands should pay extra attention to how they treat their customers:
Great customer service = fewer problems
Alright. I had a really horrible experience with a "company" recently. To cut a long and embarrassing story short, I contacted the company to get a refund for services I did not need. Initially, I was told (very abruptly) that I could not get a refund because I willingly made the choice to purchase. Keep in mind, their website clearly states customers have 30 days to get a full refund, if they so desire. While on the phone with these janky janksters, I reminded them of the their policy on their website. Still, they were refusing to run me my money. At this point, I'm extremely frustrated, and slightly embarrassed to even have put myself in this situation, but that's neither here nor there at this point. In order to get what I wanted, I had to pull out the big guns...that's right, I found myself threatening to report them to the Better Business Bureau and running down a few receipts. After this, there were a few seconds of silence...before I knew it, I heard, "Ok ma'am, not a problem. We'll process your refund right away for you." Why did their tune change so suddenly? Because their business' rep is on the line (and those receipts were legit). Problems are always going to present themselves for any business, no matter how hard you try to avoid them. Like life, you can't avoid problems, but you can definitely avoid friction and arguing with disgruntled customers. It's best to just give them what they want, especially when you're in the wrong.
Word-of-Mouth Marketing
Otherwise known as, brand awareness. If a company treats its customers really well or really poorly, people will know about it. Between Yelp reviews (which I didn't know were still a thing), @-ing businesses on the Big 3 social platforms and customer satisfaction surveys, people know how and aren't afraid to give companies a piece of their mind -- or, on the contrary, offer them extreme praise. But it doesn't stop there; consumers share their feelings with their network too, offline. All of these avenues of praise or complaint impact a businesses' bottom line: sales. Solid word of mouth marketing does wonders for your brand.
People need to trust their faves
K. Dot and Rhi-Rhi were singing to us about this recently: loyalty, loyalty, loyalty. Excellent customer service creates an environment of trust people need to have/feel from the brands they interact with the most. In a world where attention spans are short and short-term joy is a swipe, click or double-tap away, folks only stay loyal to brands when they have a really great reason to do so. Ok, example: I love Apple products. I am loyal to the brand. iPhone, MacBook, iPad, Apple Music -- my jam. I did try Tidal, but meh. Not impressed. Apple is consistent. Apple is helpful. Apple is smart. They know me and my preferences. Oh and their customer service? Un-freaking-matched. I would go as far to say I love having a problem with them because they know how to fix it...and quickly. It'll come at a price sometimes, but isn't peace of mind worth some level of investment? I mean c'mon. Don't sell yourself short. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way about a brand they love; brand loyalty inspires that particular company to work hard for the people who love them. People try out new brands everyday, B. Don't be that brand that lost customer loyalty. Keep ya people.
Maybe sometime soon I'll share more details about the incredibly embarrassing and down-right silly experience I had with the "company" I mentioned earlier. Idk. I only share personal experiences when I think they'll be a blessing to someone. Errbody doesn't need to know err'thing. Know what I mean? So. We'll see.

Hogs of War PSone/PC
Hogs of War is a brilliant turn based comedy strategy game about pigs (all voiced by Rik Mayall) from a range of national stereotypes fighting for control of the punderful archipelago of Saustralasia. It's as awesome as it sounds, I'm astonished that it's not on more "greatest games ever" lists.
Tragically Hogs of War has never had a sequel, presumable the only reason for this being the game designers couldn't think what to do. So to help them out I've thought up a bunch of ideas for the developers Atari, all I ask in return is a thanks credit on the game, oh and 50% of all pig related profits.
Gears of Hogs of War
The problem with the first game was the emphasis on jokes and whimsy over gritty violence. In this reinvention the player leads a squad of four Pigs who have to overcome their tortured path to murder their way across the post apocalyptic world of Swineingrad. Rather than the conforming to broadly comedic national stereotypes each of the War Hogs(TM) represents one of the classic war movie squad archetypes such as heroic hog, tinned spam (the only member of the team with a helmet who paradoxically has the shortest health bar) and racially dubious pig. The game will be psychopathically gory and as such unsuitable for children, it will be advertised at them anyway. Rik Mayall's will no longer voice the game, having being replaced by Lance Henriksen, or Sean Pertwee if he's too expensive.
Animal Farmville
The player is Napoleon, having recently won the battle of the cowshed they must micromanage every aspect of animal farm. Command other animals to farm and gather resources. Carefully control the building of the windmill whilst maintaining order amongst the farm's population. Unleash savage dogs on your enemies. Animal Farmville will be in continuity with Hogs of War as explained by a unnecessarily convoluted tie in comic miniseries, which will benefit both franchises. This exciting farming sim/political allegory will retain Rik Mayall's voice over.
Hogs of Total War
Replace the boring old-fashioned turn based combat with hip and trendy Real Time combat, man. Players carefully manage armies of hogs in a risk like game of strategy over a pig shaped map before leading massive hordes of pig soldiers across beautifully realised HD landscapes. Historical accuracy is vitally important to this game of warring pigs so Hogs of Total war will take place during the golden age of football hooliganism.
Reinventing the dogfighting game using turn based combat! Players take it in turn to clumsily navigate their biplanes in attacking runs against their strangely stationary opponents. All the fun of a traditional flight simulator with half the interactivity.
From the development team behind We Dare this (CENSORED)
Give me a call Atari any of these could be the best game ever.

'Tully' Brings Out The Best in Charlize Theron
Perhaps more so than any other film to date, "Tully" manages to sell the challenges of parenthood as a phase of life that desperately calls for the full devotion of exactly where one's life has ended up.
Charlize Theron plays a mother in the throes of depression that has recently given birth to her third child, while already struggling to stay mentally, physically, and financially afloat with her husband, played by Ron Livingstone, who wants to support his family as best as he can but struggles with how to do so for his wife. Exacerbating these problems are the developmental issues of her young son, who's beginning to exhibit signs of autism forcing the family to relocate the children to a new school. Overwhelmed by the stress of family issues and the burden a newborn baby, she's convinced, at the suggestion of her brother, to hire Tully, a night nanny who stays with the family overnight in order to tend to the baby while she is allowed a night of sleep.
As a result of sharing the responsibility of raising the baby girl over the course of several months, the two begin to bond, reminding the mother, Marlo, that even though she is the anchor of the family, she is still human and has no hope of keeping everybody together if she can't figure out how to appropriately tend to her own needs.
The story of "Tully" at first glance would appear to take cue from the "quirky stranger whirlwinds the lives of the family as a learning experience" premise similar to films like "Mary Poppins" or "Visitor Q," which is something that the characters even joke about when contemplating the odd concept of hiring a "night nanny" to begin with. As mentioned before however, the filmmaking is what really sells it.
Seeing Theron, as a woman clearly battling her own mental and emotional demons before delivering a newborn life into the world, struggle to keep up with every challenge she faces on a daily basis while simultaneously tending to the comforting and breastfeeding of an infant is flat out maddening to watch.
Watching the utter chaos unfolding around her as she simply waits for it all to wash over her helplessly while trying to maintain a level-enough head to keep moving forward is like witnessing a psychological horror movie to the point where I was damn near expecting some scenarios to end in some sort of tragic abusive violence. It may be far too early in the year to discuss Oscar nominees but if Theron doesn't at least get mentioned in the buzz of the season, I will be sorely disappointed.
Once the titular nanny arrives however, things take an unexpected yet tasteful turn in favor of reconstructing the thoroughly deconstructed myth of the perfect suburban mother while addressing a myriad of other complex and intimate issues regarding relationships, age, emotional health, and selflessness through observing the highs and lows of youthful independence and settling into parental status.
At the heart of this exploration is Tully herself, whose talk of spiritual connections via biological relationships and cultivating love in whatever healthy form that it takes, traditional or otherwise, could easily have rendered her a stereotypical manic pixie dream girl.
Fortunately, Mackenzie Davis delivers on a superb performance that keeps her character consistently grounded and humanized via a healthy sense of humor and an occasional bleed over of her own personal problems into her work. It perfectly masks a certain hidden nature to her character that draws attention away from context clues given throughout the film, culminating in a twist so obvious that it should be lauded for being executed as effortlessly as it was.
While aspects of that twist may also raise questions of why the envelope wasn't pushed just a bit further, as well as copping out on a few rather bold territories the film seemed to be hinting at venturing down, "Tully" is a masterfully crafted dramatic comedy that isn't always comfortable to sit through but aptly so, reminding us that many of the most important things that we have to face in our lives if we hope to live happy and healthily, are uncomfortable challenges that will only get worse if we run away from them.
