monigma - initatives without bounderies
After 20 years in the IT/web game we have plunked up the courage to start our own web design/ web application development/ implementation agency.
We are a young agile collective of developers, facilitators and solution architects. That have differently drank the Agile koolaide. We work around the iterative lifecycle and practice a combination of scrum and XP working practices, which is an inspect and adapt methodology.
scrum is explained here:
We use a lot of post-it notes for planning and white boards for drafting and encourage our clients to do the same
We work with clients that want to get something to market ASAP and then continually improve on there initiative iteratively. Allowing the client to tweak and change there directive very quickly.
We don't currently want to work in any particulate vertical market.
We work internally the same as we work with our clients. Only doing what we need to archive our goal and then Continually improving on what we have.
When we first started we did a quick 1 hour session and created an initial logo which is basically our name with the strap line underneath in a font that we selected ( http://www.monigma.com ). The font caught our attention as it looks unique and has a sort of iconic look.
Now a couple of years on and we are at the point where we want to revisit the image of the company and this starts with the logo. :)
We require a logo to be created that includes the company name, strap line. It should be able to sit on different solid color backgrounds. Also have something that captures/illustrates the iterative/agile way that our company works and at the same time looks a bit more then just a couple arrows grouped in a circle, IE like this http://www.logigear.com/images/circle.jpg. This does not mean that that this concept is totally out, we just don't want a boring arrow based logo as this has been done a fair bit.
One idea that we have been bating around is the concept of the logo going from a concept and getting improved. So the logo would go from a sketch with a white board marker, to a pencil draft to a computer/CAD outline to a refined look, front left to right. This is only one idea and is not a mandate :)

McAfee Public Sector CTO to Join U.S. Department of Homeland Security
McAfee Public Sector CTO to Join U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Distinguished McAfee Executive Brings Both Public and Private Sector Leadership Experience to Deputy Undersecretary for Cyber Security Role
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dr. Phyllis Schneck, McAfee's chief technology officer for public sector, was today appointed to the position of Deputy Undersecretary for Cyber Security at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Schneck has been vice president and CTO for public sector at McAfee since 2009, advising McAfee's vibrant public sector business as well as the government affairs team. Her technical expertise is significant, yet she can translate it into terms that most people can readily understand, and she's able to link cyber security technology and policy in ways that few people can match. These talents have made her a natural and frequent choice as a congressional witness - a fact for which McAfee is proud.
"McAfee takes great pride in the strong partnership we have with the U.S. government, and governments around the world," said Michael DeCesare, president of McAfee. "Phyllis has long been a trusted and valued member of the McAfee team who has helped build these partnerships. We congratulate her on her appointment to the Department of Homeland Security, and we know she will do an outstanding job as Deputy Undersecretary for Cyber Security."
In addition to her role at McAfee, Schneck also has a distinguished presence in the security and infrastructure protection community, as board chair of the National Cyber Forensics and Training Alliance, in leadership roles on the CSIS Commission to Advise the 44th President on Cyber Security and as the vice chair of NIST's Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board. She was also named one of Information Security Magazine's Top 25 Women Leaders in Information Security. For eight years she was national board chair of the FBI's InfraGard program. Schneck recently was named the Loyola University Maryland David D. Lattanze Center 2012 Executive of the Year. She holds three patents in high-performance and adaptive information security, has six research publications and earned a Ph.D. in computer science from Georgia Tech.

Yes, it will be hard this year for you, the Disgraced Public Figure, to send a holiday greetings letter. But it may just show your friends and family that no matter what you allegedly did, things are actually still "normal." Here are some suggestions.
Dear Friends:
[Start with a light and self-deprecating tone to prove that, hey, you do still have a sense of humor. Then lead in with some positive news, if there is any.]
Happy holidays! It's been quite a year, especially if you believe my (blackmailer/wife's publicist/tabloid stories/wiretaps/text messages)! Seriously, 2009 wasn't all bad. Don't forget I did (win six PGA tournaments/get two Grammy nominations/clinch the World Series/have eight babies)!
[Be sure to get the elephant in the room out of the way early.]
Of course, I regret the (racketeering/Ponzi scheme/sex tape/award show microphone-snatching/affair/affairs/many, many affairs). I can only blame (myself/my insane Alaskan baby-grandma/that one paparazzo who looked like a zombie/the sushi-induced mercury poisoning). Certainly, I'm not above going on (trial/Larry King/I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here/methadone/Twitter) to clear my name.
[Address the family situation as delicately as you can.]
As for (justifiably angry spouse), I'm continually amazed by her (strength/loyalty/ability to wield a pitching wedge). We'll be spending the holidays in (counseling/the depths of my pathetic shame/meetings to plan our next attempt at reality television), which I know will make everyone feel better. The good news is the kids (are/seem/could be, who knows with the restraining order) fine! It will take more than the (auction of all of our belongings/constant Gawker posts/wrath of my Swedish mother-in-law/competing six-figure book deals) to get this family down.
[Attempt a positive look at the future.]
For now, though, I'm going to try to make the best of things. This year has given me a great appreciation for what matters, and I know I will never again (inject steroids/hike the "Appalachian Trail"/try to sell a Senate seat/promise someone other than my wife a rooftop wedding ceremony with the Dave Matthews Band).
[Close on a warm note, even if—face it—you may never hear from these people again.]
So here's to you and yours! I know things will get better. If I've learned anything, it's that time flies when you're (on house arrest in a Swiss chalet/dating Kate Hudson/sentenced to 150 years in prison). And it could be worse! At least I'm not (Tiger, Blago, Kanye, Gov. Sanford, A-Rod, Jon or Kate, a Madoff, John Edwards, Whitney Houston—yes, she had a comeback, but aren't you still glad you're not Whitney Houston?).
Have a wonderful 2010, and remember to hold tight the ones you love, preferably those who still live in your house.
Warm regards from your,
Disgraced Public Figure

I've been poking around in the Application Support folder of a popular app, trying to extract some chat logs. (By "popular", I mean that most people reading this will have heard of it. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to explicitly name them here.)
I was able to find my chat logs, but I also found data for somebody else (a friend who had once borrowed my device to send a few quick messages, but logged out afterwards). All of this data was stored in an unencrypted form, and it would be relatively trivial for me to extract what is potentially sensitive data.
I've begun writing a bug report to the developer in question, because this seems like a really bad thing to me. I can see the potential benefit: when a user logs back in, all of their data is waiting for them. But I think it's a really bad thing to store this all in an unencrypted way, where somebody malicious could find it.
My question is this: am I being naive in thinking this? Is it actually a bad idea to store user data this way, or am I overly paranoid?

Custom qBiomarker Array PreAMP Mix
For loci-specific preamplification prior to real-time PCR to support ultrasensitive cancer mutation detection
The Custom qBiomarker Array PreAMP Mix enables preamplification of DNA from small amounts of intact or degraded DNA prior to analysis with Custom qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Arrays. The kit contains a mixture of loci-specific primers which, together with the qBiomarker PreAMP PCR Mastermix, uses multiplex PCR preamplification to amplify loci-specific DNA target templates with minimal bias for analysis with the qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Arrays or Assays.
For successful somatic mutation detection, experimental methods must detect the DNA molecules with mutations of interest in samples that may contain a vast excess of DNA molecules with the wildtype sequence at the same locus. Based off of this principle, there are two factors that affect these experiments: the inherent percentage of mutant DNA in a sample, and the sensitivity of the method. In the case of cancer, a specific mutation may be found in a small percentage of the tumor, which is a characteristic of tumor heterogeneity. Additionally, different types of samples and sample sources affect this ratio of mutant to wildtype DNA as well as the number of DNA molecules that can be assayed. A method's sensitivity directly reflects how few mutant DNA molecules can be detected within a given amount of wildtype DNA.
Sample types common in cancer research, including formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples, serum samples, fine needle biopsies, and sorted cells frequently contain only small amounts of amplifiable DNA. Genomic DNA in FFPE samples is fragmented, for example, while DNA in serum samples is heavily diluted. In the case of fine needle biopsies or sorted cells, these samples have small numbers of cells that will yield limited amounts of genomic DNA. Amplifying genomic DNA enables more accurate detection of the mutations in DNA from these sample types.
The qBiomarker PreAMP system uses nested PCR preamplification to improve specificity and decrease false positives. In a 12-cycle PCR reaction, the loci of interest are amplified and are ready to be analyzed with qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Assays and Arrays. The Custom qBiomarker Array PreAMP Mix is a mix of primers for a user-defined set of loci. In combination with the qBiomarker PreAMP Synthesis Kit, the mix amplifies this set of loci for analysis with the Custom qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Array.
DNA is first isolated from FFPE, serum, or small samples using the appropriate QIAamp or DNeasy kit. The qBiomarker PreAMP Synthesis Kit and Custom qBiomarker PreAMP Mix are then used to preamplify the DNA using locus-specific primers. A Custom qBiomarker Somatic Mutation Array is then used for mutation detection, and CT values are uploaded into the GeneGlobe Data Analysis tool for data analysis and mutation calls.
The Custom qBiomarker Array PreAMP Mix is highly suited for preamplification of genomic DNA from samples with low amounts of amplifiable DNA for exclusive use with Custom qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Arrays. Recommended sample types include:

AU museum marks cherry blossom centennial with art
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center in Washington is opening two new exhibits marking the 100th anniversary of Japan's gift of cherry trees to the United States.
Last week, the museum opened a new exhibit featuring 70 pieces of 19th century Japanese woodblock prints borrowed from the Japan Ukiyoe Museum's Sakai Collection. The exhibit, "Floating World," focuses on the cherry blossom theme and the early period of U.S. and Japanese cultural exchange.
The American University museum also is opening "Thousand Regards" to feature Japanese-American artist Tomokazu Matsuyama's blend of Eastern and Western styles in painting and sculpture. Curators say his work is influenced by both the austerity of post-war art and the extravagance of popular culture.

Parole board OKs Charles Manson follower's release
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A parole board panel has recommended the release of a former Charles Manson follower imprisoned for 40 years for a double murder Manson engineered, but it's not the last hurdle Bruce Davis will face as he seeks his freedom.
The recommendation that came Thursday on the eve of Davis' 70th birthday in his 27th parole hearing is subject to a 120-day review period by the entire parole board. If upheld, Gov. Jerry Brown then has 30 days to review the decision, and could reject it as his predecessor Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger did the last time parole was recommended.
Some expressed opposition to his release, including the office that originally prosecuted him.
"We certainly disagree with the board's decision," Los Angeles County district attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said. "We will evaluate how we plan to proceed as the matter goes to Gov. Brown."
She noted that District Attorney Steve Cooley helped persuade Schwarzenegger to stop Davis' release on his prior parole date in 2010.
A parole board then determined then that Davis was ready for release, saying he had no recent disciplinary problems and had completed education and self-help programs.
However, Schwarzenegger reversed the decision, citing the heinous nature of the crimes and saying Davis was still a danger.
Brown's spokesman Gil Duran declined comment after Thursday's hearing, saying the issue had not yet reached the governor's desk.
Davis, convicted with Manson and another man in the killings of a musician and a stuntman, was not involved in the infamous Sharon Tate murders in 1969. He was a young man of 30 when he was sentenced to life in prison in 1972 in a case that was a postscript to Manson's notorious reign as leader of the murderous communal cult known as the Manson family.
"While your behavior was atrocious, your crimes did occur 43 years ago," parole board member Jeff Ferguson told Davis, according to the San Luis Obispo Tribune.
Davis long maintained he was a bystander in the killings of the two men, but in recent years he has acknowledged his shared responsibility, and said Thursday he has "made remarkable progress in coming to terms with what I did."
"I want to try to make up for some of the pain and destruction I've caused," Davis said, according to the Tribune.
The hearing was held at the California Men's Colony at San Luis Obispo, where Davis is imprisoned.
His release was opposed by a former Manson family member, Barbara Hoyt, as well as Sharon Tate's sister, Debra Tate, who attended the hearing and said she was disappointed the board "would release a serial killer back in the public."
Davis has been in prison since being convicted with Manson and another follower, Steve Grogan, in the murders of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea.
"I'm pleased and relieved and I hope Bruce's ordeal will be over," said attorney Michael Beckman, who has been fighting for years for the release of Davis.
He said an emotional Davis spoke to the panel at length and took responsibility for his role in the killings. Davis also said he tried to do good for other inmates and would continue ministering for troubled souls on the outside, the lawyer said.
If eventually freed, Davis will go to transitional housing associated with religious groups in Los Angeles County.
Davis became a born-again Christian in prison and ministered to other inmates, married a woman he met through the prison ministry, and has a grown daughter. The couple recently divorced.
Beckman said Davis also earned a master's degree and a doctorate in philosophy of religion.
Beckman said his client is totally rehabilitated and meets state requirements for parole. Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Sequeira opposed his release.
Few followers of the infamous Manson cult have been released from prison. Grogan was freed in 1985 after he led police to Shea's buried body.
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme was released from federal prison in 2009 after serving time for the attempted assassination of President Gerald Ford.
Manson and two of his followers, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel, remain in prison for life in the Tate killings. Their co-defendant, Susan Atkins, died of cancer behind bars in 2009. Another of the Tate killers, Charles "Tex" Watson, remains in prison.

Open source exchange format provides standard for exchanging animated computer graphics scenes between content creation software packages.VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 9, 2011 — (PRNewswire) — Alembic 1.0, the open source project jointly developed by Sony Pictures Imageworks and Lucasfilm Ltd., was released to the public today. The release was announced at ACM SIGGRAPH conference in Vancouver, British Columbia.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100727/LA41443LOGO)
Alembic is the computer graphics interchange format developed by the two entertainment giants last year and focused on efficiently storing and sharing animation and visual effects scenes across multiple software applications. It was designed to handle massive animation data sets often required in high-end visual effects and animation, which are routinely developed and produced by companies such as Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic and Lucasfilm Animation Ltd. and Sony Pictures Imageworks. The studios each saw the need for a tool like Alembic, something that would fit within existing pipelines and allow for customization at the facility level without impeding the ability to share work.
In addition to the features announced at last year's SIGGRAPH, Alembic 1.0 includes automatic data de-duplication. The software automatically recognizes repeated shapes in complicated geometry and only writes a single instance to disk. This makes Alembic 1.0 use dramatically less disk space than promised without requiring any extra steps on the part of the user and can improve both write and read performance as well. In the case of hero deforming humanoid characters, including hair, shot caches have been reduced by more than 70%. For complex, deeply hierarchical and mostly rigid assets like the Transformers characters, tests have shown cache reduction in the order of 98%.
The code base for Alembic is available for download on the project's Google Code site and more information can be found online at: http://www.alembic.io
Joint development of Alembic was first announced at last year's SIGGRAPH by Lucasfilm's visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic and Sony Pictures Imageworks. The companies joined forces when it became apparent that they were independently developing software designed to solve a problem universally faced by the visual effects and animation production community: how to easily share complex animated scenes across a variety of disciplines and facilities regardless of what software was being used.
Alembic includes tools that allow collaboration while working with a generic, extensible, data representation scheme. In essence, it distills complex and often proprietary, animated scenes into application-independent files with baked geometric results. These baked results can be fully re-importable across the range of supporting software.
"Alembic addresses a fundamental issue in a world where assets are shared across many companies. Alembic's production-ready ability to seamlessly translate shapes across a wide variety of applications saves time and resources," said Rob Bredow, CTO of Sony Pictures Imageworks. "By releasing Alembic as an Open Source project, users have the opportunity to improve the software based on their needs and experience. We're really starting to feel the positive effects of Open Source, as a community of visual effects and animation professionals come together to solve problems more effectively today than ever before."
"Alembic is giving us space efficiencies beyond our most optimistic expectations and at effectively the same time cost as before. This is sure to have a significant impact for anyone who uses the format and we are excited to be able to share this with the Open Source community," said Tommy Burnette, Head of Global Pipeline at Lucasfilm Ltd. "Previously each facility had to produce their own unique solutions to the problem of efficient caching and scene handoff, but the beauty of Open Source is that with strong collaborative efforts we can effectively provide solutions for everyone."
Both studios have made strides with open source software and recognize the importance of such initiatives, ILM with the industry standard OpenEXR format and Imageworks with OSL, Open Color I/O, Maya Reticle, Field3D, Scala Migrations and the newly released PyP.
Here's what some of the leading solution providers have to say about Alembic:
"The visual effects industry continually strives to reduce production complexity and improve collaboration throughout the pipeline. Autodesk is excited to support the implementation of production-tested technology, like Alembic, which enables digital entertainment artists to spend less time on internal custom software development and more time on creative storytelling. And that's a win-win, not just for the industry, but for the audience."
Stig Gruman, Vice President, Autodesk Digital Entertainment
"The way that ILM and Sony Pictures Imageworks have collaborated on this initiative has been truly impressive. Alembic is clearly born from real production experience of the demands of scalable asset driven production, which is vital to give it the robust foundation to become a major new industry standard. At The Foundry we wholeheartedly support Alembic."
Bill Collis - CEO, The Foundry
"Multi-application pipelines offer maximum flexibility for modern digital content production, and the Alembic format offers a reliable and open path to exchange data between modo and other leading 3D applications. Luxology is excited to demonstrate today what we have been able to achieve with the initial implementation of Alembic in modo."
Brad Peebler - CEO/Co-Founder, Luxology
"With Alembic, ILM and Sony Imageworks have created an invaluable interoperability tool that fits perfectly into Houdini's procedural philosophy. Our tests have shown how efficient Alembic can be and we know our customers will be thrilled."
Kim Davidson - President and CEO, Side Effects Software
Alembic is being offered via the New BSD License and is written in C++ and Python, leveraging the boost and HDF5 C/C++ libraries heavily, as well as OpenEXR.

Extreme Skills
Warehouse Training Australia delivers Certificate III in Transport & Logistics Warehousing courses and also free forklift training and licensing. We had previously wanted to run a campaign 'Get Real' but unfortunately we found another training co was running a 'Real' campaign.
We want to be fun and target our training to younger males.
Young males between 16 and 25 years old
Mainly unemployed and under educated, looking to get a free forklift license
And employment service providers who help people find jobs
The name of our training product is Extreme Skills. The students will learn how to drive a forklift and work in a warehouse.
Some of the brands that Extreme Skills would relate to are Holden cars, Redbull, Bathurst V8 cars, car racing brands, VB, drag racing, some football teams, kickboxing.
One idea we thought may work is incorporating the racing theme into the logo- so include black and white chequered flags.
Another idea is incorporating a tread, tyre marks.
Another idea is to play on the X.
We want something edgy and sleek and a little bit different.
We thought an icon shape may work (say like an i-phone icon), but again open to suggestions.
We want to stand out in the crowd and be different; we want our target market to talk about us!
We don't want a normal boring traditional logo we want extreme, like extreme BMX riders, racing drivers and motorbikes.

'Frozen' Is Now the Highest Grossing Animated Film of All Time, Obviously
In what had become an inevitability at this point with the insanely rising box office numbers, Disney's smash hit animated film 'Frozen' has now become the highest grossing animated film of all time, usurping former crown holder 'Toy Story 3,' which held the title since 2010. And judging by these numbers and the love for the film, it doesn't look like 'Frozen' is going to "Let It Go" so easily.
Over the weekend, 'Frozen' officially became the highest grossing animated film of all time, raking in a total of $1,072.4 million worldwide. That's not a number to scoff at. In addition, it's also entered the list of the top 10 biggest films of all time, earning $398.4 million in the U.S. and $674 million internationally.
Formerly, Disney's 'The Lion King' held the title for highest grossing animated film of all time, surpassed by Pixar's 'Finding Nemo' in 2003, 'Shrek 2′ in 2004, and 'Toy Story 3′ in 2010. Aside from 'Shrek 2,' Disney and Pixar have continued to claim this title repeatedly, but you're not really surprised, are you?
'Frozen' recently snagged an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and thanks to a holiday boost and a sing-along theatrical re-release, the money kept rolling in. It also doesn't hurt that the film is just — quite frankly — amazing, with its tale of sisterly love and subversive take on the classic Disney princess formula.
It's going to take a whole, whole lot of something special for another animated film to snatch this crown from Queen Elsa now.

[Now that M. Night Shyamalan is making headlines again for After Earth, we thought it would be an opportune time to revisit this article - most of which was originally written back when The Last Airbender had opened in theaters - Ed.]
You might feel pity for M. Night Shyamalan, now that a string of poorly-received films has left his artistic reputation in shambles (with critics and many general moviegoers, anyway). Case in point: Sony went out of its way to avoid mentioning his involvement - as the co-screenwriter and director - in the marketing campaign for After Earth; though, that didn't help to prevent Will & Jaden Smith's sci-fi survival parable from experiencing a smaller-than-expected opening weekend at the box office.
What factors are to blame for the sharp (and painful) turn around in Shyamalan's artistic standing, over the past decade? We'll begin to answer that question by going back further in time, to examine the film that he's (still) best associated with today - the 1999 ghost drama The Sixth Sense.
The Sixth Sense
The Sixth Sense is all but the definition of a sleeper hit. It featured Bruce Willis in a non-action role alongside then-unknown child actor Haley Joel Osment and indie actresses Toni Collette and Olivia Williams. Shyamalan had previously written and directed two little-seen films - Praying With Anger and Wide Awake - and had yet to prove that he could deliver a hit at the box office.
How then did The Sixth Sense manage to gross $26.7 million in its first weekend of release? Well, looking back at the film's original trailer, it was exceptionally well-constructed and made the film appear to be a terse and spooky thriller that is heavy on atmosphere (and well-executed scares):
Besides being well-received critically, The Sixth Sense became a pop sensation that claimed the U.S. box office crown for five consecutive weeks, grossed almost $673 million worldwide, and earned Shyamalan Oscar nods for his writing and directing. However, I remember that there were two things that moviegoers just could not stop discussing: Osment's performance and - of course - that legendary "twist ending."
Sixth Sense established some important things about Shyamalan the storyteller, in particular:
- He enjoys playing with - then defying - what he believes to be the audience's expectations.
- The stories he tells are very much allegorical in nature, above all else.
Cut to the present, and Sixth Sense holds up as a creepy - if, admittedly, kind of ponderous at times - story about people coming to terms with their painful pasts (e.g. "ghosts") through open communication with one another.
Unfortunately, because the big twist is so well-known nowadays - or, at the least, most first-time viewers know there's a surprise ending going in - the film struggles to have as much impact as it did upon its original release.
Shyamalan really began to establish his reputation as a secretive filmmaker with his followup to The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable. The teaser for the film (which you can watch below) was moody and mysterious - with just some expository dialogue that hinted what the flick was about - and, naturally, moviegoers with the memory of The Sixth Sense fresh on their minds, were intrigued.
Unbreakable was not the same level of hit - critically or financially - as The Sixth Sense; nonetheless, it secured Shyamalan's place as someone interested in crafting thoughtful, character-oriented allegories through the lens of genre movies. The film has since gained a (semi-)cult following, in part because it is a "superhero movie" that delves deep into the philosophical implications of an inhumanly-powered being (re: destiny, responsibility, etc.) - albeit, fully-grounded in a real-world setting.
There were certain problems that popped up in Unbreakable that began to hint at Shyamalan's limitations as a filmmaker. Shymalan's approach remained as personal and deeply-felt as ever, yet his movies were already starting to walk that fine line between compelling storytelling and the cinematic equivalent of a soapbox sermon (which is rarely, if ever, a good thing).
Furthermore, there's long been disagreement over whether the twist ending is a compelling development - or just an all-too familiar spin on the classic hero/villain dichotomy (one that's meant to be more profound than it actually is). That debate, of course, is still ongoing today but, moving on...

Sometimes I wish I had made this blog anonymous. Since becoming GM of my guild, this wish has become even stronger.
I struggle with knowing how much guild-related stuff is appropriate to share on this blog. Generally I'm not a proponent of airing private guild matters, especially contentious ones, in public. But sometimes I just want to vent, seek outside opinions, or share things that I found amusing and think other people would get a kick out of.
I have talked about troublesome guild-related things a few times in the past, but I try to do it without naming names or getting into too many details. I also try to turn it into a broad discussion of an issue that others will relate to rather than just complain "these people are unappreciative and their whining angers me!" Occasionally someone is such a douche that any reservations I have about spilling all the gory details fly out the window, but I've only been driven to that point once.
One of my favourite things about blogging is getting comments and perspectives from others about things that I'm dealing with in game. As a GM, there are a ton of decisions to make and things to deal with that I'd like to hear others opinions on. However, I also feel that protecting my guild/guildmates' privacy is more important than having a place to vent or soliciting advice and opinions.
Is there a happy medium? Obviously I'm not going to share things people have told me in private on this blog (or anywhere). But what about events that happen in guild that I'd like a second opinion on? I can try to make things sound general, but anyone who can put two and two together is going to know where my most of my issues or questions are coming from.
Is it appropriate to share specific issues that have come up in guild with anyone who wants to read them?

© 2019 Olliix.com © 2019 JLAHome.com All rights reserved.
Allow me to introduce myself; I'm Jim Telleysh, the newly appointed Senior Vice President of Sales for Olliix/JLA Home. I'd like to thank you for your continued support of the Olliix/JLA Home brand. We value your partnership and plan to grow our relationship through great product coupled with exceptional service.
Please note that we have experienced increases in material and labor costs compounding over the last years. We have worked diligently to reduce costs and create efficiencies in our factories in an effort to offset the rising costs, but we can no longer sustain pressures to our margins. Therefore it has become necessary for a price increase on a number of items within our line. Effective October 11, 2018 we will increase prices on average from 5-9%.
In an effort to maintain the same strong price points that you have become accustomed to with the Olliix line, we do have some very exciting news! We will be reducing the LTL freight rates by 5% on only LTL shipments. We have worked with our carriers negotiating better rates coming out of our bi-coastal distribution centers; California and Georgia. In addition, we have invested in two major (1,000,000+ square feet) Savannah, Georgia distribution centers. We anticipate faster turnaround times and major efficiency gains as we optimize these facilities in 2019. This is a major transition that should benefit our customers significantly. We will undoubtedly experience some growing pains during this transition. We appreciate your patience and partnership as we take this important next step forward with our company's growth.
The LTL freight reduction will be effective October 11, 2018. To take advantage of these guaranteed lower freight rates please note that orders must meet our minimum order requirement of $2000.00. Orders less than $2000 will be subject to higher LTL freight rates.
As you know, our current US administration has imposed tariffs on imported goods from China. Furniture is included on the most recent list with a 10% tariff going into effect September 24th. We will hold off addressing the impact of this tariff with any additional price increases at this time and follow developments closely over the next several months. A jump up to a 25% tariff is currently scheduled for January 1, 2019. If this proceeds as scheduled, we will be forced to increase prices in the range of 10% to 20% on China furniture imports beginning in January 2019.
Thank you again for your business. We look forward to see you at the upcoming High Point Furniture Market.
Kindest Regards,
Jim Telleysh
Sr. Vice President Sales

Alex Mack's future will be decided over the next week. No matter what happens, he's going to be the highest-paid center in football.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport broke the news that Mack will sign a five-year, $42 million offer sheet with the Jaguars on Friday, per a source familiar with the team's plans. The Jaguars later confirmed the signing. That means the Cleveland Browns, Mack's current employer, have five days to match the offer. If the Browns decline to match, they won't get anything in return.
The deal includes $18 million guaranteed over the first two years, with a player option after 2015, according to Rapoport.
NFL Media's Albert Breer reported Friday that the deal also includes a no-trade provision that runs through the first three years. And Mack can void anytime before the start of the 2016 league year, which allows him to wait until after the franchise tag period is over.
Rapoport reported late Thursday that the Browns had not made a decision on whether they'll match the Jaguars' offer. Sources in Cleveland indicate the team is "really mulling it over" and the specifics of the offer have made the decision tougher than originally imagined.
Breer earlier reported that Cleveland planned to match any deal for Mack, a notion supported by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam's public statements.
Because of the timing of the void after the first two years of Mack's deal, the Jaguars (or the Browns) won't be able to place the franchise tag on him after 2015. The Browns placed the transition tag on Mack this year, which guaranteed him more than $10 million on a one-year deal. It also gave him the ability to shop his wares around the league, which resulted in this offer sheet with Jacksonville.
The Browns were willing to pay Mack more than $10 million in 2014. They should be plenty comfortable paying Mack $18 million over two years. While Mack might have been looking forward to a fresh start elsewhere, the Browns have to do what's best for their organization.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys continue the offseason Roster Reset series by breaking down the NFC West and AFC South.

The eternal, spiritual nature of education is a theme often repeated in scriptures and in the teachings of latter-day prophets and apostles. As a result, from the earliest days of the Restoration, the Church has encouraged education in many ways throughout the world, and did so again during recent events at Brigham Young University–Idaho.

President Uchtdorf Teaches How to Focus on True Meaning of Christmas
7 December 2010
"When we prepare for Christmas by pondering its real meaning, we prepare to experience the Christ and His message," President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, said at the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. He suggested three ways to prepare: rejoice in the Savior's birth, ponder the Savior's influence in our lives today, and look steadfastly for the Savior's coming. "While the Christmas season is typically a time for looking back and celebrating the birth of our Lord, it seems to me that it should also be a time of looking to the future. Let us look forward. Let us prepare for that blessed day when He will come again."

While Internet Explorer was once the reigning browser on the Internet, with a 90 percent share of the market, it has fallen so far out of favor that less than 10 percent of all Internet users browse the Web with it. In fact, Microsoft itself is encouraging users to stop using the most commonly used version, Internet Explorer 6. Though there are three more recent versions of IE, IE6 remains the one used by almost all Explorer users. Less than 2 percent of Explorer users browse with a version other than IE6.
For the small percentage of Internet users who do use Explorer, it's important to ensure that a website can be viewed just as well in Explorer as it can in any other browser. Web designers who don't take Explorer into account cause their clients to miss out on a number of potential customers who won't be able to see the site well.
Internet Explorer Testing
To ensure that a site is compatible with various versions of Explorer, there are downloadable virtual hard drive programs that assist in the testing. Because there are several versions of explorer still in use, there are a large number of files that must be used to ensure the highest level of compatibility. With each version's testing files, it is possible to see exactly how well a site will work for a user viewing it with each specific IE version.
Explorer was created during a time when website standards were different. There were no mobile versions of websites to be used on smart phones and tablet computers. Many large sites, including Google, Amazon, Facebook and YouTube, have removed their site's support for Explorer completely because of this incompatibility. Many sites that are being started today don't take the browser into consideration at all when the sites are created. However, there is still some support for the aging browser.
The official Microsoft website has versions of Internet Explorer available for free here
Who Uses Internet Explorer 6?
While most home users don't browse with IE6, there are many large organisations that do. The British government is just one such example. Some portions of the U.S. government also use the browser. There are also regions of the world that favor Explorer over other browsers. Burgeoning economic powerhouse China largely uses IE6 to browse the Web. More than one-third of its Web users and almost a quarter of South Korean users still use IE6. Intel and other IT companies often use IE6 because of the expense of changing their technological infrastructure. With five years between IE6 and IE7, IE6 had plenty of time become firmly ingrained in some sectors of business and technology.
The way Explorer use currently stands, with the vast majority of its use being an outdated version more than 10 years old, it may be phased out in the next few years. Its use around the world is falling dramatically each year as organizations and individuals upgrade to better, more modern browsers. However, IE testing is still performed by Web developers who want to ensure a consistent viewing experience no matter what browser a reader may have.

Could Fernandez create D-Train-type stir in Miami?
MIAMI -- Mania has a way of happening. It isn't manufactured.
The Marlins experienced it in 2003 when Dontrelle Willis, then a little known left-hander with a herky-jerky delivery, gave birth to D-Train mania.
MIAMI -- Mania has a way of happening. It isn't manufactured.
The Marlins experienced it in 2003 when Dontrelle Willis, then a little known left-hander with a herky-jerky delivery, gave birth to D-Train mania.
Willis became an immediate rage in a season he won National League Rookie of the Year honors.
Could Jose Fernandez mania be next in Miami?
If the 20-year-old's MLB debut on Sunday was an indication, Fernandez has the makings of a rising star. The right-hander struck out eight and allowed one run in five innings against the Mets at Citi Field.
"Will the fans embrace it?" Marlins president David Samson said. "We didn't know the fans would embrace Dontrelle like they did. You never know when it's going to happen. It's hard to plan it."
Fernandez is an inspiring story. A Cuban defector who was Miami's first-round pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, he has made the leap from Class A ball to the big leagues.
Mike Redmond was the Marlins' backup catcher in '03 when Willis inspired the team. The new Miami manager believes Fernandez can give the '13 Marlins a similar impact to what Willis did a decade ago.
"His stuff is so good," the first-year skipper said. "His stuff is so polished as a pitcher. He is throwing the 94-95 mph fastball, and it's amazing how good his secondary pitches are. He threw some nasty changeups and some great curveballs as well.
"We've definitely got a couple of guys banged up. We need guys to go out there and step up. A lot of times you don't say, 'Hey, it's going to be a 20-year-old rookie to be the guy.' But, it could be."
The Marlins are closely monitoring Fernandez, limiting him to between 150-170 innings. That's why his afternoon was done after 80 pitches at New York in his debut.
With Fernandez, the team is taking it easy. They are easing him in to what promises to be big-time success.
The righty's next start is set for Saturday night against the Phillies.
"We're not doing a Jose Fernandez section in the ballpark, or a Jose Fernandez bobblehead," Samson said. "If he starts 12-0 with a 1.25 [ERA] like Dontrelle, or whatever he did, then those things are going to happen."

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 packed with fun for the Wii U (review)
I grew up playing the Tekken series and have had my butt handed to me by my brother since the ripe old age of 12. I talk a lot of smack in this game. In fact, I am a little worried I have talked too much at the workplace and will have to deliver. It will be bloody and I will probably have to eat every word I have spit out.
I have been a Tekken fan since the titles on the original PlayStation and following in the series' tradition, Tekken Tournament Tag 2 is highly addicting. The only flaw I could find is that all the other players online are insanely good.

WATSONVILLE >> A 22-year-old Pajaro man was hospitalized after he ran around naked and allegedly broke windows and assaulted a Watsonville police officer during a drug induced episode Friday night, Watsonville police said.
About 11:10 p.m., police received a report of a man attempting to enter a home on the 300 block of East Fifth Street, Sgt. Michael Ridgway said. Residents of the home said the man broke windows and other callers in the area reported him jumping on top of parked vehicles and hitting them with his hands.
When officers arrived, they found Ramiro Mora hiding behind a parked SUV on East Fifth Street. They recognized Mora"s behavior as someone experiencing excited delirium type symptoms, which could be fatal if not treated, Ridgway said. The symptoms likely came from use of a stimulant drug, Ridgway said.
When they tried to speak with Mora, he attacked the officers, striking one of them on the head, Ridgway said. Officers used a stun gun to incapacitate and capture Mora, who struggled and yelled as officers tried to hold him to the ground.
His clothing and identification were found in a nearby garage shortly after the incident, Ridgway said.
Mora was transported to Watsonville Community Hospital for minor injuries and to be monitored for what appeared to be a narcotic-induced reaction. At the hospital, Mora became unruly, prompting hospital officials to call police to assist, Ridgway said.
Because Mora is hospitalized and is receiving treatment, he cannot be arrested, Ridgway said. But officers will submit a report to the Santa Cruz County District Attorney"s Office and seek a warrant for Mora"s arrest for suspicion of trespassing, vandalism, resisting arrest and assault on an officer.
Watsonville police ask anyone with information to call investigations at 831-768-3352 or leave an anonymous tip on the tipline at 831-728-3544 or by texting WATSPD to 888777.

Subscribe To Ant-Man Heading To Comic-Con Updates
I've already subscribed
Such a small hero. Such a large venue. Such a massive moment to introduce the world to the next major Marvel superstar (after months and months of turmoil).
Michael Douglas confirmed that Marvel's Ant-Man will have a presence at San Diego Comic-Con, likely during a splashy Hall H panel that will conclude the evening on Saturday – Marvel Studio's traditional time slot. Speaking with Collider, Douglas said that he's "even dragging my son," but then revealed far too much about the Douglas' personal calendar by talking about having to fly right home after the Ant-Man presentation on Saturday evening to get his kid to camp on time on Sunday. Because parenting comes before saving the world, kids. Even when you are Michael Douglas.
The Hollywood icon might not be prepared for the range of emotions that will be running through Hall H at the Ant-Man presentation. It was in Hall H, after all, that original Ant-Man director Edgar Wright presented test footage of his vision of the hero. Ah man. The good old days:
But we all know what happened. Edgar Wright left Ant-Man after years of preparation. And Michael Douglas still calls it "a big disappointment." The actor explains:
I'm not the producer on it and I'm an actor for hire, and, you know, Marvel certainly has a pretty amazing track record, rightly or wrongly, so I think it just was that kind of combination where although they like the idea of the individual and somebody with Edgar's individual spirit and everything, maybe just collided with an operation – I think they're all on relatively decent terms."
But man alive, will we be paying attention to body language on the stage of Hall H when Marvel finally rolls out the cast and crew of Ant-Man, which should include Michael Douglas, Paul Rudd, Patrick Wilson, Evangeline Lilly and new director Peyton Reed. In the interview with Collider, Douglas admits that he'll start filming Ant-Man in Atlanta in August. So I don't expect to see footage from the movie… unless Paul Rudd has been busy filming a few scenes that Peyton Reed can cut together to surprise fans. The thing is, Ant-Man is due in theaters one year from July 17. If they aren't busy on it now, when will they get busy on it?

The most famous quotation from Clarke[edit]
Where is probably most famous quotation from Clarke? Y'now, David Bowman, when he begins... "trip". And this was NOT drug trip, mind you. --18.104.22.168 07:52, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know what quote you're talking about. The fact that you did not (could not?) cite the whole quote yourself leads me to wonder how famous this quote could be. Can you give us more of a hint? Thanks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think he is probably referring to the line "My God, it's full of stars" which occurs in the book, but is not actually in the movie. It is referenced in the sequel 2010: The Year We Make Contact. ~ Kalki 12:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Reasonable misunderstanding, and commonly misattributed. Accordingly, added as "Misattributed" in 2081629.

Sub-section headings in the Dialogue section[edit]
I added sub-section headings to the 2001: A Space Odyssey (film)#Dialogue section, so I can link to particular sections from other wikis and e-mail, etc. --Teratornis 00:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- I understand the purpose, but I'm not so sure about how this now looks. I've posted a discussion at Wikiquote:Village_pump#2001:_A_Space_Odyssey about this to gather some opinions. ~ UDScott 11:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- If the section headings are not satisfactory, we could replace them with invisible

name anchors. Reference: w:Help:Link#Section linking (anchors). Visible headings are nice because it's easy to get a link from the page TOC, but I can live with looking at the page source to get the invisible name anchor. I'm not trying to rock any boats here, I'd just like to be able to link to specific bits of dialogue from elsewhere. --Teratornis 19:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Here is a permanent link to the Village pump discussion through 15:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC). --Teratornis 16:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- If the section headings are not satisfactory, we could replace them with invisible
Daniel Richter[edit]
I think there is a wrong link for Daniel Richter. The Movie was finished in 1968 and the Daniel Richter behind the link was born in 1962. But the actor in the movie was an adult person.--220.127.116.11 14:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- I've changed the link to a new article, w:Daniel Richter (disambiguation), which gives a one-line description of three holders of that name, including both the German artist described in w:Daniel Richter and the actor/choreographer of 2001. Thanks for calling attention to this confusion. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm trying to get an instance of BugZilla up and running on a Windows Server 2012 x64 VM using the latest version of Uniserver (8.6.7 I believe). I downloaded the latest version of ActivePerl ("ActivePerl-184.108.40.2061-MSWin32-x64-296175.msi"), placed the installer inside "/alt_diag/install_perl" and ran the "extract_install_perl.bat" script. The script informs me that the install process completed successfully. However, when I go to the Perl control panel under "Server Configuration" I get a message informing me that Perl is not installed, and that once it is installed the greyed out options will become available.
How can I get Perl installed? I have followed the directions included with Uniserver to the letter without success.
Uniserver does not recognize the existence of ActivePerl

This concerns the famous two-slit experiment. Electrons or photons or your favorite particle, doesn't matter. As we all know, the attempt to detect which slit the quanta pass through leads to loss of the diffraction pattern.
The interesting part of the experiment is describing what happens when neither slit has a particle detector. It is commonly said that each particle goes through both slits at the same time. At the popular level this makes QM seem weird and mystical, and at the professional level we might cite the Copenhagen Interpretation which boils down to: Don't ask questions about things you can't observe, and so we don't speak of such things, just do the math.
How sound this reasoning is at a fundamental level? Can we really conclude each quantum goes through both slits yet as a whole entity? Can we define a "it went through both slits" observable? Is there a proper Hermitian operator with (I suppose) eigenvalues 0 and 1, that can distinguish a quantum going through both slits vs. only one slit but without saying which one?
Perhaps it would make more sense to think about an N-slit experiment, and ask about a Hermitian operator that can report n, the number of slits a quantum takes?
I suspect I'm not asking this question quite right, but have an intuition there's something yet to be dug up from this age old gedankenexperiment.

[This is a review of Arrow season 2, episode 4. There will be SPOILERS.]
From the beginning, Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and crew stated that Oliver Queen's backstory told through the island flashbacks would be as integral a part of Arrow as the vigilante's present day adventures in Starling City. For much of the first season, those flashbacks told of Oliver's survival against basic things like the elements and hunger, and, eventually, his more extreme fight for survival against Edward Fyres and his merry band of mercenaries.
Naturally, all of that introduced pre-Arrow Oliver to an increasingly interesting group of characters that included Yao Fei, his daughter Shado and, of course, the irascible Slade Wilson. Things could have continued as they were for quite some time, but in season 2, Arrow has decided that as exciting as things on Lian Yu tend to be – especially following the discovery of a cave full of dead WWII-era Japanese soldiers with what looks like deformed skulls – it's time to get the characters (or Oliver, at least) off the island for a little while and introduce a different dynamic to the mix. The decision, frankly, comes at the perfect time, as the supposedly deserted island that was Oliver's home/prison for five years has turned out to be a pretty popular hangout trafficked by pirates and ne'er do wells the world over. And besides, the idea of Slade, Oliver and Shado running around trying to find a way off the island is only exciting as long as there is some compelling reason to keep them there; once Fyres was taken out, that reason left with him.
What's been so enjoyable about season 2 early on, is the idea that the Arrow writing team have fully embraced the idea of forward progression, of moving the storyline in directions it needs to go in order to continually feel fresh and interesting – which it has managed to do by introducing characters like Kevin Alejandro's Brother Blood and even Summer Glau's Isabel Rochev. And perhaps it's a testament to what they are doing at this point that they can bring back a supposedly dead character and tell us with a straight face that the story Oliver had given recounting her demise was pretty much false.
Once Black Canary started showing her masked face around Starling City, it probably didn't take long for fans of the comics to surmise she had something to do with Laurel Lance, and the Lance family in general. And some may have even figured it was the supposedly drowned-at-sea Sara Lance from the get-go – although The CW played a fast one on everybody by replacing Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Sara from the pilot) with Caity Lotz (a.k.a. Anna Draper's niece from Mad Men), so trying to place who the character actually was became exponentially harder. On the plus side, however, the show landed a performer capable of pulling double duty as both an emotionally wounded individual and someone skilled at taking down gang members with similar proficiency as Oliver.
It's an incredible stretch, to be sure, but Arrow certainly seems to be moving in that direction. Beside it's a move the show seems eager in backing up via Oliver's newly invigorated flashbacks, which, so far seem to have more of a thematic connection to his present day adventures than before. If the show continues to upend expectations as it has, and maintains the bombardment of plot-thickening end scenes, we could be in for quite the entertaining season.
Arrow continues next Wednesday with 'League of Assassins' @8pm on The CW. Check out a preview below:

Seagull, pelican partnership: The continued saga
A few weeks ago, I wrote a column about an interesting spectacle I witnessed while fishing with my husband in our boat on Galveston Bay. I love watching all of God's creatures do their thing, and I have learned so much while on the water. It is thrilling to get a bit of understanding as to how creation and creatures all work together for the common good. This education is so much more fun when one is seeing in reality what actually takes place on and in the water that literally surrounds us here on the Bolivar Peninsula.
I had never before seen seagulls traveling so closely with the big brown pelicans that dot our skies and sit on our piers, pilings, rocks and jetties. These much smaller seagulls would dive down toward the sitting pelicans, sit on their heads, and seemingly steal fish and other food from the sides of the pelican's big mouth or pouch. And the much bigger and stronger pelicans allowed it to happen over and over again.
More folks wrote to me about this column than any other in a good while of writing. I had all sorts of interesting tidbits shared with me by fishermen who know these waters, by bird lovers from different areas, and from those who study the habits of seabirds. One of the most interesting commentaries came to me from an Examiner reader, Sherrie Roden. I found it fascinating and thought perhaps you would, too. Sherrie found the information in the St. John Beach Guide, Virgin Islands.
In the spring, laughing gulls return to St. John from the coast of Venezuela, where they habitually spend their winter vacations. While in the Virgin Islands, these bold and boisterous sea birds visit the less frequented offshore cays where they mate and lay their eggs. In addition to their breeding activities, the laughing gulls spend their time gathering food to eat, which can include fish and other seafood as well as just about anything that we humans decide to throw their way. One method the laughing gull has of getting food is to steal fish from another seabird that inhabits the region, the brown pelican. The laughing gull accomplishes this larceny by waiting for the brown pelican to make a successful dive.
When the pelican has a bill full of fish and water, it transfers the fish to the pouch that hangs below its bill. The pelican cannot fly away or swallow the fish until the water is drained from the pouch. Laughing gulls either circle closely above the pelican or land on the pelican's bill or head. The gull may even give the pelican a sharp peck or two. If the pelican pays too much attention to the antics of the laughing gull and not enough attention to the delicate draining and swallowing process, the pelican may lose some of the trapped fish. The gull then swoops down and scoops up the pelican's hard-earned catch, flying away at top speed from the scene of the crime and making short work of his ill-gotten gains.
There is a West Indian folk tale that deals with this phenomenon. Ranger Laurel Brannick of the Virgin Island National Park Service recently shared this story with me. The tale goes like this:
Once upon a time the pelican had a large body and a small bill, while the seagull had a small body and a large bill.
Neither the pelican nor the seagull was happy with this state of affairs. The pelican could not catch enough fish with its small beak to satisfy the needs of such a large creature as himself, and the big bulky bill on the diminutive seagull only interfered with its ability to fly.
The two seabirds decided to remedy the situation by trading bills, the gull getting the small bill for its smaller body and the pelican getting the large bill, more suitable for its large body. The seagull, realizing that the pelican had more to gain from the trade, convinced the pelican to promise to share his presumably increased catch. The pelican agreed to give up half of its catch upon the demand of the seagull.
Immediately after the trade, the pelican tried out his new bill. He dove into the water and came up with a bill full of tasty fish. It was just as the pelican thought. He had become the best fisher of all the sea birds.
The pelican let the water slowly drain out of its beak. He tilted back his

"Did you cry?" I ask it curiously, almost flippantly, whenever I talk to someone about the ending of The Walking Dead. (No worries, no spoilers about that here.) I'm not the only one that talks about the ending of The Walking Dead this way; crying, in its heartfelt sincerity has long been a (misguided) measure of the ultimate achievement for a video game.
Did you cry when Aeris died? Did you cry at the end of Shadow of the Colossus? Did Journey make you cry? Did the ending of Mass Effect make you cry? Did Planescape: Torment make you cry?
On and on.
Perhaps more common than asking each other if we cried or not is assuring each other that no, we did not in fact cry at [insert moment here.] There's an element of pride in saying that, too.
I don't talk about books, movies or comics in this way. I don't interrogate people immediately on whether or not they cried, and if they did cry, it's not this huge deal or anything — not in the same way. Stuff can make you cry. Crying is human. Who would have thought?
Focusing so much on crying makes me feel weird when I do cry. Like it's not supposed to happen, because well, most of the Tough Guys I've talked to about this game didn't cry and, oh, here I am, tears welling — is something wrong with me?
The way we focus on this moment, this supposedly-elusive moment of tears, bothers me. It bothers me even though I've been deferring to it a lot lately — so right after I ask the question I mentally kick myself for falling prey to it.
I feel like when I ask someone the question, I'm testing them to see if they gave in. That framing poses a game and its sentimentality as an obstacle that we can overcome, and I need to see if it 'bested' the person I'm asking.
That's ridiculous when you consider that I cry readily, and easily, enough that I'm embarrassed to share when and why because I know it'll elicit ridicule. How dare I be touched by a game? Do my plebeian tastes not call for more sophisticated moments of sentimentality? Oh no, if you didn't cry, are your emotions more complicated than my emotions?
That's a stupid way of looking at it, and I don't think I am alone in approaching it that way. I can't help but wonder how much, if at all, we hide when something makes us cry, only to turn around and ask each other when it happens as if it's supposed to be this super rare thing that never occurs.

Roomy, Sporty, Smooth and Fast
By Big Guy on Thursday, June 22, 2017We were looking for a vehicle for my wife to use around town but one that I could drive if need be; we tested 5 other models and picked the Equinox LTZ. Im 6 feet 5 inches tall and 275 pounds and easily fit in this vehicle. Even with the driver seat all the way back there is still plenty of leg room for the back passenger. The 6 cylinder is very responsive, smooth and quiet; you cannot feel the transmission shifting from gear to gear. The LTZ looks more expensive than what we paid for it and considering all of the high-tech gadgetry in the vehicle we feel the Equinox was a great buy. Love the OnStar feature, once you use it you have to have it. My wife really likes all of the safety features (back up camera, lane change warning, vehicle approaching, etc.)...the leather in this vehicle is great looking and I particularly like the red baseball stitching around the seats. Just something to set it apart. Overall a great vehicle. Will purchase again.

A very fine auto at a very reasonable price
By Test Tube on Thursday, May 02, 2019This is one of the top 3 cars I've ever owned. We were having trouble with a previous car and an Equinox was given to my wife as a loaner. I had been out of town and the first thing she said to me wasn't "Welcome home Dear." but a comment about the car. Now my wife doesn't care much for buying a car BUT that all changed with this Equinox.
