Below is a snippet of code that shows the code that can be used to programmatically add a new record to a DataForm. In this snippet, the DataForm is called _dataform and has a PagedCollectionView (list) of Person objects. The DataForm UI has a + button that adds records. We want to do the same thing, but with a different button, and also set some default or maybe even values that are not on the DataForm. To do this, we call AddNewItem() which is exactly what the + button does. Next we get the CurrentAddItem. This is of type Person so we can cast it as a Person and set any properties that are on the Person object, not just the ones on the DataForm.
public PagedCollectionView Persons { get; set; }
private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
Person newPerson = Persons.CurrentAddItem as Person;
newPerson.Name = "zzz";
newPerson.City = "Tempe";
A working version of this code is available here. See the MainPageWithOnlyCustomButtons.xaml.cs file.
Another snippet that may come in handy for adding just like the above, but more for the scenario where you have not displayed any records in the DataForm, but you want to add a new one. This was the scenario I had when I used the DataForm in a Popup Window and showed only one record at a time or in this case needed to allow the user to add a new Person. Here is the snippet for that. The big difference is we have to populate the Persons variable with an empty list so that the DataForm knows what type of objects it is supposed to add. Otherwise, _datagrid will be null and the operation will have failed.
private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
// the DataForm needs to know what we have a list of, so give it an empty list to start with
// then wehn we tell it to add a new one, it knows what to add/create.
Persons = new PagedCollectionView(new List<Person>());
_dataform.DataContext = null;
_dataform.DataContext = Persons;
Person newPerson = Persons.CurrentAddItem as Person;
newPerson.Name = "zzz";
newPerson.City = "Tempe";
A working version of this code is available here. See the MainPageWithLoadOneRecordAtATime.xaml.cs file.

This was one of the first training programs geared towards recruiting women as engineers. The University of Texas at Austin, along with six other universities, participated in the program. At UT, 100 women of sophomore level or higher received a rigorous forty-week curriculum in aircraft design, principles of flight, mathematics, and mechanics. A number of these women entered aircraft industry following the culmination of the program.

December 2001 at Budokan
BT international fan meeting! ha, that's the name we gave to their yearly 29th Dec Budokan live. after missing it for so many years, FINALLY we made it this year!
we arrived at Budokan at about 5pm. millions of ppl already queuing for tour goods. we didn't. not many special tour goods this year. a friend we met bought the tour book but it's all the pics from PV shooting. without the super cool Hide crushing the milk carton pic yo!!!! how could they not put that pic into the book?! anyway, after waiting for some time to get the tickets (we gotta find the friend who bought tickets for us) n meeting some other friends, we entered the hall at about 6.30 when over half of the audience were seated. our seats were in the last line of the 1st floor. actually the first line n the last line of the 1st floor doesn't make much difference cos 1st floor was already miles away from the stage. i wonder if the last part of the arena seats would be better cos the floor isn't sliding up. that means if all the ppl in the arena seats are standing in front of u, your sight would definitely be blocked! haha, we tried to find Papa, Mama, Imai's brother n other "related ppl" (like Asaki, J, Issay, Mizuta Hayato etc) but couldn't find anyone! perhaps they were in the first row of the arena seats. :D oh, n heard that Imai's family were actually seated in the first row of the 1st floor? but we're not sure...
7.15, the show started!!!!! the stage setting kinda strange cos every member had a little circle stage under them. more like each one got their own stage so made it quite difficult for them to run around. the first song came along with a very familiar intro n that was Iconoclasm!!!! all fans stood up to do the hand swing, counting 1, 2 n 5 with the band! Imai was in black. black biker jacket, fish net tee inside (the same one as in 21st Cherry Boy pv) black leather pants, black boots n black hair!! but this time, unlike in DtD, his black hair looked so great! kinda like a shorter version of Hide but in black. u know, with some hair flying up, the classic Hide hairdo. Hide in a fish net tee, black military pants, black boots (probably). U-ta in his usual suits. Ani...sorry, couldn't see him clearly. Atsushi! is that what are u waiting for? in a three-piece suits of red. his pants got some small folds under the waist line, just like those a middle age man would wear. anyway, he looked ok in that suits, IF HE DIDN'T TAKE OFF THE JACKET!!! but he did! the small vest tightly wrapped around his beer belly...errrr, n he was wearing a tight short sleeve tee inside the vest. imagine the picture? a tight little red vest but with patches of black showing under the neck n on the shoulders. that just doesn't look ok! they should seriously consider changing to a new stylist....sorry Yagi san...
back to the live. another anthem-like into started. yeah, that's really an anthem, National Media Boy! rememer the all in white raincoat pv of the song? we couldn't help laughing but enjoying the song. really couldn't imaging the would play that! the third song, Machine! definitely they had a good rehearsal for these songs cos i couldn't really recall they playing them in live except for the tour of the specific albums. the arrangement didn't change much from the studio version. what surprised me most is that they played Rakuen! the single version without the Hindu verse. a lot more powerful then the original version cos they tuned the instruments to a blasting volume. mixed with the melancholic lyrics, that's a very impressive feeling. even though Atsushi entered a wrong key (actually he got the wrong key n lyrics in some other songs, but...), i still love it love it yo! following that is Jupiter. the intro gave me flash back of Climax Together. fans were all stoned. is it gonna be a 15 years anniversary giveaway show?
of course new songs have to be performed! 21st Cherry Boy n Barairo no Hibi! everyone seemed so happy on stage, Imai n Hide running to the sides of the stage. god, Imai was just so cool~~~ couldn't take our eyes off him. back to the songs. very happy tunes with white lights shining, every fan dancing. particularly like the "hoo-hoohoohoo" chorus! but unfortunately (or it's fortunately?) Atsushi wasn't doing his dance as in the pv. Atsushi said, this is the first n last BT gig of the year. Aku no Hana followed. much similar to the version u know.
what came next was really a surprise. it's Misshitsu! very strong bass drums n guitar solo. it's really quite heart breaking when u see Atsushi sitting on the floor singing the sad lines. when the music nearly come to stop, the tone of lighting changed, so as music. Taiyo ni Korosareta began. simply this transitional phase made all fans scream. they were two of the "mysterious" songs that i've always wanted to see live. we joked what other songs we would want to hear in this live, maybe Sakura, maybe Cosmos etc...n then Sakura really appeared! very gentle n moving song. n then it was Speed. n Love Me. the old version of Love Me in Aku no Hana album. the dancing couldn't stop. then My Fuckin·Valentine, with Imai playing his weird antenna-like instrument (sorry, still don't know what it is called) Ash-ra (Atsushi: odori mashou~~~), n Die. U-ta jumped up n blew all fans a kiss before he went into backstage. so cute~~~~~
encore setlist: flame, rhapsody, in heaven, moonlight, n cosmos
Flame, strange song! it never sounds good in live. no matter how hard they try mix the studio backing chorus with Atsushi's live voice, it still doesn't sound good. same here. Rhapsody was a lot better though. with Imai's funny backing vocal n happy lyrics, it lights up the arena in an instant blow. the following In Heaven n Moonlight sounded like a straight cut from Koroshi no Shirabe album. didn't have much surprise. but when it came to Cosmos, all fans went completely quiet! the keyboard sound turned the hall into a floating space. of course all fans have to follow Atsushi in singing the chorus. what's more surprising is after the song ended, Atsushi still hold onto the mic n let the fan sing. that's so moving!!!! now we had our wish totally granted! first there was Sakura n now it's Cosmos! Let? just hope they (especially Atsushi) wouldn? have even more scary clothing for the tour·D

TV Review: Stranger Things 2 – Is the Second Season as Good as the First?
Stranger Things, the Netflix series that launched a thousand memes (and a Chicago pop up bar) is back, just in time to pick out your Halloween costume!
But the big question is…can it possibly be as good as the first season? This review covers the entire second season of Stranger Things, but no major spoilers lie ahead.
Stranger Things has always had a cinematic feel, with overt ties to canonized 80s movies like Stand by Me and Goonies. The second season has been packaged like a movie sequel, it's even titled Stranger Things 2. Still, television is the perfect medium for the epic-ness of this story. The bingeability of Netflix also lends to the storytelling.
In the first season, we had the awesome sense of discovery as we learned about the Upside Down and Eleven (the exceptional Millie Bobby Brown) while we searched for Will (Noah Schnapp). We have lost that element in the second season, so the show creators (the Duffer Brothers) did the smart thing and let their extremely talented cast lead the way this time around.
The Duffer Brothers (identical twins Matt and Ross Duffer) have admitted that they let their cast inform the characters of their show. The quality of the acting, especially from the child actors is shockingly good. These kids can out-act anyone on basic cable. How can one show be so lucky?
In the character-driven Stranger Things 2, the boys spend more time apart, and their personalities become more fleshed out. There are also some unlikely character pairings and several love triangles to keep the show feeling fresh.
Since it doesn't look like we're leaving Hawkins, Indiana any time soon, some new characters were brought to us. Most notably, 80s stars Sean Astin (Goonies) and Paul Reiser (Beverly Hills Cop, My Two Dads).
The Department of Energy and Dr. Owens (Paul Reiser) are surprisingly forthcoming with information this season. And Dr. Owens has a much gentler bedside manner than his predecessor, Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine).
Joyce's (Winona Ryder) new boyfriend Bob (Sean Astin) is the goofy but reliable partner she needs at this time in her life. But the relationship feels one-sided, so you can't help but feel like Joyce is taking advantage of him a little bit (#JusticeForBob). And really, isn't everyone rooting for #Jopper?
There is also a new girl in town, Max (Sadie Sink) the arcade savant, and her psychotic, Post Malone-lookalike brother, Billy (Dacre Montgomery).
In the first season, the Duffer Brothers use Dungeons & Dragons to draw myriad connections and explanations to the show's plotline. In Stranger Things 2, they use arcade games like "Dig Dug" and "Dragon's Lair" to draw analogies and set the tone for the season.
Since this story takes place in the early 80s, the lack of technology only adds to the mystery and the tension. Walkie talkies or CB radios are unreliable at best and Morse code works great if you understand it.
Speaking of technology, you will find this season to be CGI heavy. The first season used an actor (Mark Steger) to portray the Demogorgon. This season, the monsters are all created in post production, which changes the feel of the show, but doesn't take away from the end result.
The Shadow Monster emerges as the new enemy, but we're not sure what it wants. We do know that it really hates pumpkin patches.
While the first season of Stranger Things had a great pace to the story telling, that element was lacking in the second season. It seemed like the last two episodes (by far the best episodes of the entire season) were outlined first, and the rest of the episodes were written to lead up to the finale.
Unfortunately, that caused a lot of drag during the season, especially with storylines detailing the progression of Will's PTSD and subsequent issues; the regression of Mike (Finn Wolfhard) as he mourns the loss of Eleven and is lost almost entirely as a character this season; the arc of Nancy (distractingly thin Natalia Dyer) and Jonathan's (Charlie Heaton) relationship; and Eleven's transition into real life. These plotlines all took a little too long to reach the somewhat obvious conclusions.
Is the second season as good as the first? Ultimately, I think so. Despite any setbacks in the plot, the series stays true to its theme: the nerds are the heroes.
What do you think?
I'm sure we can expect a third season, although no release date has been set yet. With a typical 15-month turnaround, we should expect it in late 2018 or early 2019.

text: Omed omedan, also known as 'The Kissing Ritual', is a ceremony held by the young people of Banjar Kaja Sesetan, Denpasar, Bali. It derived from the Balinese language means pull-pull. It originates from a fight between a male and female pig and represents the push and pull of positive and negative elements. This ritual has been around for at least 100 years and originally only the people of Banjar Kaja Sesetan village could participate. It is not clear when mass kissing was incorporated into the tradition but it has become a ceremony for the youths of the village to express their joy on the first day of the new year. Omed omedan involves unmarried youths aged 17 to 30 years old. The procession begins with praying together to invoke safety. After the prayer, the participants are divided into two groups, men and women. Both groups take position facing each other on the main street of the village then, at the signal of a Hindu leader, both sides approach the center of the road. Male participants pull and kiss the female participants while other villager pour buckets of water over them. This ceremony has also become a sort of meeting place for singles. Many couples have successfully started by joining at this tradition. Omed Omedan ritual is held on the day after Nyepi or The Day of Silence, a day of reflection which prohibits lighting fires or using electricity, travelling or engaging in any form of entertainment. In 2017 it will be celebrated at March 29th.

Methus' Tower Defence
Tags : tower defence
Although the name is Methus Tower Defence, this one is not a common tower defence game. Generally, the goal of the tower defence games is stopping enemies by building tower that shoot passing enemies in a range. In Methus Tower Defence, your goal is still defending your base against the waves of enemies attacking your base, however there are no towers. You'll defend the base yourself by playing the role evil necromancer that is casting spells to kill that enemies.
There are 10 different magic skills consisting of 5 evocation spells and 5 necromantic rituals. You can learn or upgrade the spells by using the souls you collect which again differentiates the game from classic tower defence games. Instead of making cash for each enemy you kill, you collect the souls of the enemies which you can use for learning or upgrading spells, reparing your base or to recharge your mana pool. Remember to drain the souls asap, or they will go to the hell befoure you can collect them.
There are 20 challenging levels. Your goal is to survive all of these 20 levels, keeping your tower energy barrier up and beating the enemy waves off. The background music and sound effects are as good as the graphic art of the game.
The story behind the game
Methus is an ambitious talented sorcerer of the black magic art who decided to become a loyal follower of the unmentionable Dark Lord supporting his war versus human communities. Unfortunately for Methus, as in the most classic fantasy stories, ...the good ones won the war versus the Dark Lord's armies.
So, the Orcs and Goblins who escaped from the slaughter want to avenge their dead buddies by killing Methus who convinced them to fight aside the Dark Lord.
Also the survived chaos knight and dark mages want their payback and they ask it to the Dark Lord's follower who is still alive.
On top of that, the winner army of the Humans Alliance wants to eradicate all the evil arms of the Dark Lord.
As a consequence our dear Methus is now besieged within his tower by enemy hordes demanding his head cut off!
He is a novice sorcerer, but as a talented necromancer he knows the power of the dead souls and he still has the Dark Lord spirit aside to teach him how to learn and upgrade the spells and rituals of the black art!
At first, I tried to learn new spells as soon as i can afford them but later noticed that upgrading one type of spell is more powerfull than learning the basics of many ones. After playing 2-3 times, I can make it up to level 14. I'll share new tips when I have some more experience. EDIT: I've added some tips to beat the game to the cheats/tips section below...
Have fun!Play a random game

In all regions and property types, the rents are expected to increase in the best locations, but remain stable or decrease in secondary locations. The most positive rental outlook was reported for office and retail premises in Jyväskylä centre, and for retail premises in Oulu centre. In these submarkets, more than half of the respondents of the local barometer surveys expect that rents will increase during the next 12 months. Also yields are expected to decrease in the best locations.
The occupier demand is estimated to be strong in many submarkets, especially in Tampere region. However, in the industrial premises of Turku and Jyväskylä the occupier demand is still expected to decrease. The barometer surveys for each four regions were conducted during November.

Let the three down the bottom paddock today. Put the halter on the old dear. He is holding his own but not improving as I would have hoped.
Walked him down, girls followed. Opened the gate and started the fence walk and look session.
Always show a horse a fence it hasn't seen before even on the same property, this will consistently help on lowering fence accidents.
Had them quietly eating when I let the old mans halter off, so no running either, so calm, no manic moments of not looking around.
Went and got some lunch and did a drive by 30mins later, they were stuffing their faces, but still looked up as the car went past pmsl.

For this Q&A we spoke with Partha Bhattacharjee, who has written about automation in competitive intelligence in a series titled "Riding the Competitive Intelligence Automation Wave". Partha is a Senior Solutions Engineer at Cambridge Semantics, Inc. (CSI), an enterprise analytics and Big data management software company. He has been a CI professional for over five years and holds graduate degrees in Systems Engineering and Technology and Policy from MIT.
Emerging Strategy: Taking the title of your series into account, "Riding The Competitive Intelligence Automation Wave", I will just get right to the point: should competitive intelligence professionals worry about their jobs being automated any time soon?
Partha Bhattacharjee: No, CI professionals will not lose their jobs. Instead, their jobs will evolve and it will be critical that they keep up. It's true that parts of a CI professional's job will be automated going forward. What's important to realize is that this trend is not new. Parts of CI have continuously been automated over time. News crawling, for instance, underwent transformation with the foray of RSS feeds into the mainstream. To the best of my knowledge, not too many CI professionals lost their jobs to prior phases of automation.
Having said that, the current wave of automation is more sophisticated and encompasses tasks that require a higher degree of cognition. Analytics on unstructured text, and the harmonization with structured data, is a prime example in the context of CI. Advances in semantic technologies, natural language processing, and machine learning, often overlapping in nature, now enable tools to process diverse text ranging from analyst call transcripts to scientific publications in a manner that approximates human interaction with the content. Data extracted from the text can then be linked to and stored in spreadsheets and databases. If you come to think of it, these steps represent the bulk of the secondary research performed by CI analysts. But this type of secondary research performed by a computer is unlikely to put a competent CI professional out of a job – on the contrary, the analyst will have more bandwidth for higher value tasks such as primary research and data analysis.
ES: You write that the utility of CI is not in question but it is the outdated methods of CI collection that is putting pressure on departments to visibly demonstrate their value to senior managers. So how can senior managers who consume CI get the most out of their limited (or shrinking) CI budgets in today's environment?
PB: Senior managers need to both envision and evangelize a CI project as a digital initiative because deep entrenchment of technology is critical for maximizing a project's value. The project roadmap needs to include tools used at each stage as well as a factual basis for selecting one tool over another. CI managers have typically been subject and/or practice area experts. By viewing a CI project through a technology lens, managers will be able to maximize the throughput at each stage of the project. Native infusion of technology from the outset that complies with a vision, instead of adding tools in an ad hoc manner, will only augment a manager's effectiveness in leading a CI project.
CI managers also need to zealously scrutinize the value returned from every dollar invested using metrics such as Time To Value. The goal must be allocation of most investment to high-value tasks such as accessing sources of differentiating information and insight generation. For most companies, such scrutiny, in all likelihood, will reveal that an awful amount of analysts' time is spent in collating data and beating it into a shape that is amenable to analysis. The majority of such tasks can be automated, thus enabling CI managers to deploy their scarce human expertise toward connecting dots between data, augmenting subject matter expertise, and generating insights.
Other cost sinks often emerge around primary research. The trend of minimizing costs using technology to bridge physical distance has been in effect for several years now. Tools for large scale surveys and reporting, text-to-speech applications, and mobile-based data collection tools are helping minimize costs and improve data quality. Interconnecting or harmonizing such data will generate significant value.
ES: Do you have any particular advice for analysts burdened with a great deal of tedious 'legwork' that takes time away from higher value activities such as analysis that managers expect of them?
PB: I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work as a CI analyst early in my career before diving into the world of creating smart data-driven CI solutions. The more I see of the spectrum of tools that a CI analyst can potentially use, the more I am convinced that familiarity with a wide variety of analytical tools and techniques is probably the most important asset a CI analyst can possess apart from an inquisitive nature and subject matter expertise.
A CI analyst needs to view herself as the conductor of an orchestra. The musicians are the software that perform one or more of the required tasks in the CI pipeline. The quality of insights is a function of how well the analyst can strike harmony between an array of tools and techniques. Every step of the CI process can leverage automation to varying degrees.
I would particularly draw attention to unstructured text analytics given that secondary research, apart from cleaning messy data, tends to be the most time intensive exercise in most CI projects. To drastically reduce the time invested in secondary research and enhance productivity and scale of analysis, I strongly urge CI practitioners to consider using text analytics tools. A skilled CI analyst can identify and visualize crucial data from thousands of documents in a matter of hours through an intelligent combination of multiple annotators and dashboards.
ES: What are the best practices for structuring MI/CI projects that require regular updating and managing of complex information from disparate sources?
PB: There are a few core design decisions that need to be considered:
- Adopting smart data lakes: CI managers across enterprises are realizing that they are fighting a losing battle against the burgeoning diversity of data. Traditional data management systems are unable to cope with the variety of data, and analysts are consequently too bogged down in low-value repetitive data collation tasks to fully apply themselves to insight generation. Going forward, MI/CI projects will need to be anchored to what are colloquially known as 'smart' data lakes to be able to handle complex data from disparate sources. In such data lakes, all the data that a CI analyst has access to are interlinked and stored using a flexible data model so that depending on the project, the relevant data can be extracted and reused.
- Using advanced text analytics solutions: As previously discussed, current text analytics tools provide an array of features ranging from entity extraction to document translation. The use of such tools is a must to identify data of interest in unstructured text.
- Establishing robust data pipelines: Data lakes need to be connected to relevant data sources through data 'pipelines' that periodically update its content. The flexibility of Resource Description Framework (RDF), the semantic data model, is a critical differentiator in this context as it can seamlessly accommodate changes in data's structure as well as context.
- Avoiding vendor lock-in: The key to successful management of diverse data is the ability to use best of breed tools or components that fit one's workflow. Hence, it is important for practitioners to be able to work with platform(s) where different tools can be used concurrently.

text: In my family room there are 2 big pillows BF (dog)and GF uses. One is under a table and the other is diagonal to it. BF was on his fav pillow under the table, she was on hers. Well a car door was heard, she barked got up and walked two feet, he barked and ran about 6 feet. I don't think he knew what he was barking for. She then twisted around and grabbed his pillow, curled up and shut her eyes, in a space of 3 seconds. He returned looked confused, looked at her pillow then his. I said to them "why can't you share?" GF looked at me then shut her eyes, as if I was asking her to do a lot. He took the other pillow. The pillows are essentially the same. She won't share with him and has been known to walk over and nudge him off of the pillow he is sleeping on to take it, this time was more devious. They will sleep on chairs together but pillows, nope she won't share. She thinks "my pillow!, mine!". BF always takes the other or jumps on my mother's lap if she is watching TV.

Finishing our week of making people cognizant to the signs of domestic abuse. It is estimated that one in three woman have been abused, worldwide. The "cycle of violence: was coined, developed and published by Lenore in the book: The Battered Woman. New York: Harper and Row, 1979. Since then, many renditions of this diagram have been composed.
*The abuse will "never end" by just being silence and hoping he will stop. A considerable number of psychiatrists and psychologists recommend getting away from the abusive force immediately. Then the abused should immediately inform the police, parents, friends and family about the abuser so that he knows all eyes are on him. Remember some of these abusers are extremely charismatic. This is typically how they were able to "sneak by" the abused defensives earlier in the relationship.

Both A and W raced through *Dad's Birthday* and *Mum's New Hat* last night mostly because they were keen to look at Gorilla's in an animal book instead but also because they are getting the hang of this reading malarkey.
A is really keen on Gorilla's now since we watched Mighty Joe Young. A trip to London Zoo is on our list but til then we've been watching mountain Gorilla clips on You Tube.
5 lots of bacon, eggs and toast the breakfast order this morning. The last order at 1030 am from S. This is our home educating Monday. Joy!
W remains mostly interested in Dinosaurs but A is just as keen. We attempted to learn how to draw Dinosaurs using a book we picked up just recently plus a Dinosaur land has been created across the living room floor.
S and L have been looking at Life Processes and Cells using books and the web in an attempt to broaden our knowledge of Biology. I often find myself amazed and amused in equal measures at how much they already know without a single day in school or a professional teacher/tutor over the past 5 years proving that learning is happening all of the time and information is readily available everywhere.
Aside of the obvious Educational benefits to understand ourselves and the world around us, it may prove useful for S if she decides to pursue *Animals* as a future career. Presently she is keen on performing (acting), working with Animals (possibly a Steve Backshall kind of career although maybe not as dangerous), fashion, and Art with the mention of Art College as long as it doesn't take too long. L is firmly set on the video gaming industry.
We still sit on the fence with qualifications particularly GCSE's but keeping options open seems to be the obvious route right now at not quite age 12.
Other than 20 mins on Whizz for L which he chose to do first thing this morning and the Life Processes and Cells stuff, he has been in his favourite spot, Minecrafting. He's added a shop now to the server for players to buy stuff with MC currency. I think we have 24 white listed now which is maybe larger than we had wanted or anticipated. S is having her turn as I type.
Chicken's in the oven ready for a late roast ready for when the girls return from their second gymnastics session. They are now wearing leotards and mean business!

FYI. If Rachel says the bag cost $85 (knowing I will see this), that means it really cost her $185. Thats retail math Rachel style.

Love the bag, Great Deal! We need to keep man knowledge of handbag pricing to the bare minimum.
I had really wanted to be tagged in this round, but on second thought as you saved me at the last minute. He would be terribly upset. Thanks for the catch!

First step- grow some grapes. The front rows seen here are Chardonnay grapes. The grapes are handpicked each year.
Not the engine from the Millenium Falcon, this is the grape crusher, the liquid from the crushed grapes gets piped over into the fermentation facility, the residue of the crushed grapes gets magically distilled into grappa.
OK now we are into some serious microbiology. These are 750 hectolitre fermentation vessels. Sort of puts the 30 litre fermentor in our department to shame. The crushed grapes ferment here for some period of time that I don't remember now because I drank too much wine.
To be offically classified as a DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) wine, the alcohol content has to be carefully managed during fermentation. These fermentation vessels have an outer sheathe through which cold air circulates to keep the fermentation temperature from getting too high.
Lots and lots of fermentation vessels. After these, age in oak barrels for quite a while, and put into bottles (yay!)
And the end results-
Vivace "lively" is their sparkling wine (can't be called prosecco because it's not the right region). Goes down very easily.
Dry white-
Chardonnay- not as dry
Rosso- made from the exact same red grape as Chianti, but the winery is located 23 km away from the Chianti region, so it can't be called a Chianti.
Dessert wine (late harvest) and the Grappa. Some of the dessert wine mysteriously made it into my luggage for the trip home.

Comprehending the intricacies involved in photography can seem difficult for many people. Most of the time, this is because they do not know where to turn to get the best photography advice available. Read on to pick up some insider tricks for taking photographs, some of which you might not have even suspected were possible. Take your pictures quickly. If you take too long, you'll never get the perfect shot you envision. Your subject might run away or change position so that the moment you wanted to capture gets lost. It is better if you can take shots quickly.
Using digital software, photos can be altered to look like watercolors, pencil sketches and much more. There are many different types of software programs that will make it quite simple for you to alter the look of the photos; Adobe Photoshop is considered to be an industry standard program. It is easy to convert pictures to nice art pieces by choosing the "filter" button, picking your favorite medium, then clicking selection.
Try out new ideas, and don't shy away from taking original photos. A great picture should show the world a unique point of view, and exhibit unmistakable personal style. Do not take pictures that people have seen over and over again. Using your creative skills, try using some fresh angles.
When shooting landscape pictures, cultivate depth in your shots. An object in the foreground of your shot can create the illusion of depth by providing scale. Giving sharp focus to your photos can be as simple as changing your settings. Apertures less than f/8 for digital cameras, and f/16 for full framed SLR cameras, will give you the image you really want. Understanding the intend and purpose of photography can be a challenge. However, as they learn a lot more about it, they find out that it is a pleasant activity after all. So with the information you just read, grab your camera and get ready to take some fantastic pictures.

Is Your Desk Destroying Your Productivity?
I just got back from a run/walk/jog thingy I do about three times a week. It feels good to get the blood flowing and since I have a track about a quarter mile from my home office, I have no excuse to not do it (although I found I am crafty at making up excuses. . . like going to my normal office where it would be very awkward to throw on a pair of shorts and run around the parking lot). After I washed up, I came back to my desk to get back to work. What was I doing? Oh yeah, the proposal. I think there was an email about that. Email?!?! Hey my buddy from college just wrote. Oh geez, look at the time, I've got to work on that. . . what was it? Email. No wait, proposal. Talk about proposal, look at that stack of papers I need to go…Read More

In any air handling system the fan is a key conponent. It is a device which moves the air. This is achieved
by pressurising the air, the resultant pressure difference makes the air to move. Fans can be classifed as follows
- Classification by air movement-1. centrifugal fan 2. Axial flow fan
- Classification by housing design -1. Scroll fans 2. Tubular fans
- Classification by pressure range- 1. high pressure 2. medium pressure and 3. low pressure
- Classification by Blade configuration - 1.forward curved blades 2.backward curved blades
From the fan laws the following relationship can be arrived
- CFM is directly proportional to fan RPM
- Pressure is directly proportional to sqaure of RPM
- Shaft power is directly proportional to cube of RPM
Basic factors that determine the size of air washer are
- Velocity of air through the washer
- Type of nozzle used
- Water quantity in circulation
- No.of spray banks
The main components in an Air washer are
- Distribution plates
- Distribution Louvers
- Water pipes
- discharge headers
- stand pipes
- nozzles
- Eliminators
Air conditioning is a process to remove the heat from the place to be conditioned and reject the heat to
a place where it is not objectionable. In other words, a heat pump is required to accomplish the same. The
heat pump is called the refrigeration machine.
There are three types of refrigeration machines classified according to their type of operation. They are
- vapour compression system
- absorption system
- vacuum
Majority of the airconditioning systems used for commercial purposes work on vapour compression cycle.
The main components used in the mechanical compression machines are
- compressor
- condenser
- metering device
- evaporator
- operating controls
- safety controls
- accessories
Under atmospheric temperature and pressure the refrigerant is in gaseous form. It is true that
the cooling takes place when liquids evaporate to become gas. Therefore the gas refrigerant must be transformed
into the liquid form. Most gasses can be made into the liquid form by raising its pressure (and cooling it,
which is handled by the condenser). The equipment that increases the pressure of the gas by compressing it,
is called the Compressor. Different types of compressors are
1.Reciprocating 2.Centrifugal 3.Rotary and 4.screw
During compression however the refrigerant becomes hot. This is because of two reasons:
- Because of the work done on it (remember how warm the hand pump became when pumping air into your bicycle tires?) and
- Because the refrigerant is converted from gas to liquid releasing its latent heat
This heat has to be removed to enable the gas to condense into a liquid easily. The equipment that removes
the heat is called the Condenser. Different types are
1.Air cooled 2.water cooled and 3.evaporative condenser
The Evaporator ('Cooling Coil' to most of us): From the condenser we now have the liquid refrigerant ready to go to work. This refrigerant can remove heat when it starts evaporating. The liquid refrigerant from the condenser is injected through a metering device called the capillary or expansion valve into the cooling coil which is a bundle of tubes.
Inside the cooling coil the pressure is low, because of the metering/throttling device on one side and the compressor suction on the other side. In the low pressure, the liquid refrigerant Starts evaporating rapidly. While evaporating it needs sensible heat to transform itself from the liquid to the gas state. So it soaks up heat from the surrounding tubes, and from the air, with which the tubes are in contact.
This is what causes the cooling.

GOOD NEWS Medal of Honor Recipients to Participate in Super Bowl Coin Toss
Memo Excerpts Released, Alleges Trump Dossier Was Key to FISA Warrants
'A Lot of People Should Be Ashamed': Trump Reacts to Memo
Boothe: Increasingly Clear Probe of Trump Team Was 'Poisoned by Politics'
Army veteran Leroy Petry is one of 15 Medal of Honor recipients who will be honored Sunday at Super Bowl LII.
Prior to kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Petry and his fellow American heroes will participate in the ceremonial coin toss.
Petry, who received the nation's highest military honor for saving his comrades from a grenade while serving in Afghanistan in 2008, said on "Fox & Friends First" that he's honored and humbled to be a part of the Super Bowl festivities.
He said he's particularly happy to see the NFL salute veterans and first responders following a controversy-filled season in which many players and teams refused to stand for the national anthem.
"I don't disagree with them standing up for what they believe in, I just think during the national anthem is the wrong platform," Petry said.
He said he hopes that during Sunday's coin toss, Americans from all ends of the political spectrum can come together and salute those who have sacrificed to ensure our freedoms.
"I hope you keep their families and them in your prayers," Petry said.
Watch more above.

From the abstract: "Iron, copper and zinc are transition metals essential for life ... Organisms have evolved to acquire metals from nutrition and to maintain adequate levels of each metal to avoid damaging effects associated with its deficiency, excess or misplacement. ... many orthologues of the human metal-related genes having been identified and characterized in Drosophila melanogaster. Drosophila has gained appreciation as a useful model for studying human diseases, including those caused by mutations in pathways controlling cellular metal homeostasis. ... This review recapitulates the metabolism of the principal transition metals, namely iron, zinc and copper, in Drosophila and the utility of this organism as an experimental model to explore the role of metal dyshomeostasis in different human diseases. Finally, a summary of the contribution of Drosophila as a model for testing metal toxicity is provided."

Clean F Word Challenge Day 10 & 112:00 AM
Here is the first one I purchased the other day. It was YUM! and my husband and I were the very first customers and we will be regulars for sure.
I also work at the complex so I now have access to glorious food ALL the time! Double excitement. Basically my life is made. I find it hard to find vegetarian options locally (there is a lot closer to the the city) unless it is just a salad so you can understand how happy this makes me. I now how variety at work with Sushi, Vietnamese rolls and salads :D Yay!
Breakfast the last couple of days has just been oatmeal or toast. Nothing too exciting but more exciting things will come up again soon. I am trying out some recipes.
Dinner has been pretty basic as well. We haven't been major food shopping for a few days so we have just been having whatever is in the house. Using the pasta's etc. I will be shopping again soon which will mean more fancier foods again.
Not every day has to be full of fancy foods. I have been snacking on plenty of fruits. Yesterday I ate almost half a watermelon. I just love watermelon.
Apart from food, my wellness adventure has been going well. Part of my wellness plan is to spend more time with friends and family which has been going really well now that I am planning my time more wisely and realising what is important to me.
The girls and I had a fun night out with a a cinema date to go and see 'Don't Breathe'. I was pretty keen to watch this movie because I love horror movies. But this movie wasn't really scary it was more sick and twisted. Picking it wasn't the best decision I have ever made but it was worth it for the giggles that us girls had and the horror on our faces at some of the twisted storyline.
I definitely wouldn't say that it was a masterpiece or anything. But it is good for a squirm or if you really like watching how twisted people can be. I don't know who comes up with these storylines that's for sure.
Next on our list of movies to watch is definitely the new Blair Witch movie. I'll let you know how that one goes too :P
I'm starting to go to bed every night and think of 5 things to be grateful for in my day. It is really helping me to relive my day especially when it seems like it has been stressful or not the best experiences. Being able to look back through and find those 5 things of gratitude that totally outweigh the negative is so good! Especially at night time because you can sleep knowing that it wasn't that bad and that tomorrow is a new start. I find that it makes me wake up so much more refreshed.
I thought I might start sharing my 5 daily gratitudes with you all as part of my blog posts. So here goes...........
Today I am grateful for:
- My girlfriends who provided so many giggles
- The new Vietnamese place
- The memories that music can hold and create
- Having clothes to keep me warm
- My husband for keeping me sane and happy

One Of My Favorite Artists - Mary Engelbreit
These are some of her hat boxes collected or gifted.
The framed print in the photo was cross stitched by me for Mother years ago, and now it hangs on my bedroom wall below the shelf shown. I love it!!
Some more of Mary's boxes, I always love the sayings on them:
And a few more - sometimes they came with something small inside or were just empty to use for gifting:
And here are blocks, with a picture or letter on each side; I only purchased enough to spell my name out for a small display. Since I don't shop much any more I don't see many of her new items, but can be lucky enough some days to find things at thrift stores.
I will show you a few more items when it gets closer to Valentine's Day!!!!!

History of vascula
History of vascular grafts
Vascular grafts have only been a practical reality for about 30 years , surgical techniques and prosthetic technology have been developed rapidly and allowed life and limb saving surgical interventions that many people take for granted , consider that there was no successful surgical for replacement of the aortic aneurysm until synthetic grafts became available. (91) Artificial veins or arteries have been a successful replacement of arteries in many areas of the body as the vein can be removed from its place toreplace arterial aneurysm and allow arterial flow. Artificial veins or arteries are used to replace segments of the natural cardiovascular system that are blocked or weakened . Grafts are inserted to bypass the blockages and restore circulation .(4)

A Message for You
We are a group of smokers who have found it impossible to give up smoking.
We've quit smoking…until something triggers and we start up again. Maybe you can relate?
Maybe we're nuts, or maybe we love to tick off our doctors, nurses, family and friends.
Most likely, we're that one-out-of-ten, super addictive personality, who lives to help others, but seldom helps ourselves. Maybe we believe everyone else is more important than we are. Many of us just want our cigarettes and to be left alone.
Have you tried the patch, the gum, pills, lozenges, inhalers, nasal spray, presriptions, behavioral therapy, hypnosis, or acupuncture…and still light up? Unlike these types of pharmaceutical smoking cessation products and holistic remedies, there is a way to still get your nicotine and enjoy the sensation of smoking without the tar, carbon monoxide, and smoke. This is found in an alternative to burning tobacco. Why not take a few minutes and watch these short videos? The good news is we have answers.
And… In God We Trust!

Old Sycamore
-- By Steve Carroll
Sycamore Islander, November 2002
Who knows how you, old sycamore, became the perfect launching pad for the perfect rope swing that became the famous upriver playground for us kids of all ages that frequented Sycamore Island and environs. But a least 170 years ago you were born or more likely regenerated from the confused intermingled mass of roots that seem like the dense skeleton of some giant ship so tightly woven and meshed so as to actually hold the river itself in its bowels. You may never have been born from seed but rather to be another of millions of shoots from ancient roots that form the very matrix of the bank, the slope, the rocks and debris that we call riverside. To what prehistoric age do these roots go back? Ah, but thats another tale.

Thanks for the guide
My question is
Should I approach a target area differently? i.e. Suburban, Farmland, and Urban area.
and should the price structure differ, as well as Marketing
Titus Nixon
You are welcome, Titus!
I'd say yes but the way we've structured our pricing till date is mainly based on the quality of work and the scale/difficulty of the project (example being video quality etc.)
What project are you looking at? If it is a photography project, then it is likely that something in the urban area will be more difficult (and riskier) than a farm land project. You could quote this to charge higher prices.
As for marketing, know who you are targeting and what they need the most. If you are targeting realtors (as an example) in a sub urban area vs urban, the messaging might not be all that different — you might need only make a few adjustments. If you compare this to clients for action sports videography, you'll have to market differently.
Hope that helps!Reply
thank you ps can i print this guide

Previous studies have indicated situational factors such as economic factors, size and performance to be of major importance for vehicle purchasers in their choice of vehicle. In this paper, the authors explore a consumer centric total cost of ownership (TCO) model to investigate the possible discrepancy between purchase price and the TCO between internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and BEVs. The creation and testing of the TCO model reveals that computation could be a challenging task for consumers due to bounded access of relevant data and the prediction of future conditions. The application of the model to the vehicle sample found that BEVs could be cheaper compared to ICEVs and HEVs. The findings in this paper could prove to be of importance for policy and marketing alike in designing the most appropriate business models and information campaigns based on consumer conditions in order to further promoting the diffusion of BEVs in society.

I know what you might be thinking.
How do I know? Because about 1 hour after having the positive pregnancy test I couldn't stop thinking about it.
I couldn't stop thinking about what you might be thinking. Or what you might be saying.
I know that a lot of people will be happy for us and excited that the Starbucks are having another baby! But sadly, I also know some of you won't understand. You'll joke about what goes on in our bedroom and you'll make wise cracks about what type of birth control we use. You might even take some jabs at the Catholic Church and wonder why we are still living in the "dark ages". You'll be dumb-founded as to why people would want kids so close or want more than one or two. You'll wonder how we can afford another baby. You'll say "Don't they want to experience life, take vacations, buy a house, get out of debt before having any more kids?"
Honestly? Most of that is actually none of your business.
However, I am more than willing to clear some things up for you.
Andrew and I use NFP (Natural Family Planning) and it is NOT the rhythm method. The rhythm method does not work and is extremely outdated. Now this post isn't to get into the specifics of NFP (that's for another time). I will include some links at the end of the post for you to do a little research. A lot of people will ask what makes NFP different then contraception. In a nut shell? The Church understands that there are serious reasons for postponing pregnancy (i.e. financial situations, health reasons, etc.) but unlike when using contraception, you are still being open to life with NFP. You know that even if you are trying to postpone pregnancy, there is still always a chance that God will bless you with a child. After James, Andrew and I knew that we needed some time to recover financially and I needed sometime to recover physically, spiritually, and mentally.
Then in April God blessed us. I'll be honest. I was quite shocked when I saw those two little pink lines. I laughed. I laughed one of those like "is this real life?!" laughs. Then I waited for Ashton Kutcher to bust into the bathroom and tell me that I had been punked. Another baby? I just had Irish twins! How am I supposed to do this? But then...I was filled with an overwhelming sense of peace. Would I have liked to have a little more space between James and baby number 3? Sure. But God thinks I can handle 3 kids under 3...so I must be able to. I know that He will give me the grace I need for each new day, just like He does now. Will it be hard? Of course. 1 kid is hard! So is 2, 3, 4 etc! God doesn't give us more than we can handle.
It just makes me sad how our culture embraces, or rather, doesn't embrace a 2nd, or 3rd child (and more after obviously). Why does everyone only get super excited for the first? Why can't we always be super excited over new life. A new little human is being made! That is so cool. This little human will have it's own laugh and smile. This little human will be different than everyone else. Doesn't that deserve a celebration? I heard a mother of seven say that after number three, they just stopped making big announcements because most of the time they were met with nasty comments and negativity. I've already received some rude comments from people. People who don't even know me. People who ask when my husband and I are going to "stop having those things" and then when I say we aren't planning on it, they reply with "Jesus, that's just terrible." Needless to say that comment has haunted me since it left that person's lips.
I should've been able to just rejoice about the new life within me when I saw those two little lines. Instead, I obsessed over what people would think of me or say about myself and my family. But I'm done with that now. While the nasty comments still hurt, I'm moving past them.
Yesterday afternoon I was on the couch with both my boys asleep in my lap and a gentle thunderstorm rolled in. The TV was off and the house was silent. Then I felt the baby move. I was instantly in tears. The love I felt for my children in that moment was indescribable. All I knew that was that in that moment in time life was perfect. Nothing else mattered. I just sat there and breathed in the heavenly scent of my children and focused on the little flutters in my womb.
God is so good! And he has blessed us abundantly. There is no perfect time to have a child. There is certainly nothing wrong with trying to be smart about it! It is good to be a responsible adult when it comes to taking care of little humans. But it's important to understand that there will always be things in life that you'd like to change. This life we are in will never be perfect...and that's ok! So why not fill it with laughter and sticky fingers? Why not fill it with crayon drawings on the walls and messes so big you can't see the floor? Why not fill it with first steps and first days of school?
And I know there are many women who are struggling with infertility and would give just about anything to have a baby (or more babies). When people see a married couple without kids we think "What's wrong with them? Why don't they have kids? Don't they want kids? Isn't that selfish." And that has to stop too! We don't know how long they've been trying or how badly they want a baby. That's why I am so grateful for the children God has given me because I have seen family and friends struggle with infertility.
I once heard a mother say "At the end of my life, I'm not going to regret the children I had, I'm going to regret the ones I didn't have." Doesn't matter if it's your third in just over three years (ahem) or this is the baby you've been trying for for three years...Every baby should be loved, cherished and celebrated.
Loved. Cherished. Celebrated.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley: What Twitter Universe Predicts for RematchApril 11, 2014
Following one of the most controversial results in boxing history, Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley are set to renew their rivalry on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao is favored but has lost two of his previous three fights. Not to mention his Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach has admitted that retirement would be a possibility if he were to lose this weekend, per The Telegraph's Gareth A. Davies:
This is a 'must-win' situation on Saturday night, and if we don't win this fight we have to consider maybe retirement. So this is a big, big fight for him. We are in a 'must-win' situation, it's as simple as that. Some people think we are all done and we have to prove that we are not.
Across the ring, Bradley is looking to remain perfect and retain his WBO welterweight championship. But, more importantly, the American known as "Desert Storm" is eyeing redemption following 2012's controversial victory.
While many have already settled on their favorite for the rematch, there are plenty across Twitter who have yet to make a prediction. And the reason is simple: Both fighters are evenly matched:
Even ESPN boxing writer and commentator Dan Rafael is unsure heading into Saturday's bout:
Others, like former unbeaten South African southpaw Chris van Heerden, have Pacquiao avenging his 2012 loss:
Twitter user Ralph Warren gives "Pac-Man" the edge as a result of his superior power:
Eddie EJ Mullins on Twitter predicts a similar style of fight to the first matchup in 2012 but believes Pacquiao will wind up on the winning end of a judges' decision:
Some have also brought the revenge factor into play:
It's hard to argue against either fighter in this bout, especially Pacquiao, who landed 190 power punches in the first fight compared to just 108 for Bradley.
Despite that figure, some are leaning towards Bradley this weekend:
Twitter user Adrian Perez isn't sold on Pacquiao winning either:
Boxing Mad Magazine editor James McKnight predicts an identical result with Bradley earning yet another split-decision victory over Pacquiao:
Although we'll have to wait until Saturday night to know for sure, the result of Pacquiao vs. Bradley II is guaranteed to have a massive impact on the boxing universe.
With Roach labeling the bout a "must-win" for Pacquiao, this could be the last time boxing fans have an opportunity to see one of the best in action.
On the other hand, this fight is critical to Bradley's legacy as well and will certainly impact where he's ranked among the sport's elite fighters. And with a perfect record and a championship belt on the line, Bradley has every bit as much to lose this weekend.

A new online campaign has been produced by The Mob for prevention of young suicide.
The spot was created for charity PAPYRUS, in collaboration with Rabble post and TBWA\Manchester
The Mob collaborated with TBWA Manchester giving all resources for free under the direction of director David Schofield and post production contributed by Rabble Post.
The emotive film shows that we can all make a difference, even if we find it scary. Young actors wear large signs such as: 'Death is my only option', 'I want to end it all', 'I'm going to end my life', and 'Suicide is the only answer'.
How do we know if someone is thinking about suicide? We cannot be certain without asking directly. There are often 'signs' we can look out for which indicate someone could be considering ending their life, and we think it's time to ask. #SpotTheSigns

ENGLAND kick off their European Under-21 Championship campaign tonight with Villa midfielder Craig Gardner insisting: "We can win it."
Gardner believes confidence is so sky high among Stuart Pearce's Young Lions that other teams in Group B will not be able to cope with them in the tournament finals, which start with England's match against Finland in Malmo, Sweden.
With Spain and Germany also in England's group, Gardner knows the competition will be tough.
But he feels recent results have bolstered the young side and given them the confidence to defeat their group stage opponents.
Two years ago Pearce's players bombed out of the competition in the semi-finals after the heartbreak of being beaten 13-12 in an incredible penalty shoot-out by hosts Holland.
Gardner insists those players who were in the squad last time out will be stronger for the experience.
He said: "The boys' confidence is sky high at the moment. We are on fire."
The Under-21s defeated Azerbaijan 7-0 in their final warm-up match at the MK Dons Stadium a week ago.
"They couldn't live with us," Gardner admitted.
Gardner is one of three Villa players in the squad along with winger James Milner and striker Gabby Agbonlahor while the team also boasts Arsenal's Theo Walcott and Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne, who spent time with Wolves on loan last season.
Gardner, who has won 11 caps for the Under-21s and scored twice, said: "We've still got the likes of James, Gabby and Theo who did not play in that last game.
"Everybody is going to be competing for places now and the squad is the strongest it's ever been. We feel like we can win it.
"We are probably the favourites and I think we will win it.
"It's the way we're playing football. No-one can live with the tempo we play. That's what the gaffer has instilled into us."

I've got my pick for my favorite game released this year, despite a few more titles trickling out in the next few weeks. It is, far and away, Telltale Games' The Walking Dead adaptation.
The thing that's remarkable about The Walking Dead is how well it tells its story. There's the zombie plague, of course, but much more frightening are the lengths to which the remaining humans must go to survive. Sometimes they save and help one another. Sometimes they form unbreakable, close bonds. Often, they're forced to be incredibly hurtful to one another, and undergo some incredible tragedies.
I wrote in my review of Episode 5 (caution: spoilers) that The Walking Dead isn't so much about zombies and survival, as it is about the way people hurt one another. It's really in this that the story becomes something much more than the sum of its parts. It's built on a series of decisions players have to make — choices on how to deal with one another, what courses of action to take, and so on, often with life-or-death consequences — but many of the choices don't change things to a degree that the story shakes out differently. What changes through the course of the story isn't the plot, it's you. You are what is being shaped by each decision, and by the end of the game, you're asked if you like what you've become.
There's also a heavy emphasis on personal relationships, a redemptive side to all that "hurting one another to survive" stuff. Protagonist Lee and his relationship with his adopted ward, Clementine, is something that's really incredible in the world of gaming — it'd be remarkable in the world of literature, really. They're relationship instills within the player a real sense of caring what happens to Clementine, and a need to protect her. The Walking Dead is filled with great moments of Lee teaching Clementine, giving her strength, helping her to grow up. The game ends with some incredible moments to this effect.
Given Lee's background — he was on his way to prison for murder in the opening of the game, way back in June — Clementine offers him a chance at redemption. More than that, she offers a chance for him to find something in the world that's worth fighting for, maybe even dying for, and certainly living for.
I'm a pretty big fan of zombie fiction in general, and The Walking Dead is one of the better stories out there. Now that the ending has hit, I've found myself entirely satisfied with the experience in a way that few games and even a few books never really achieve. I've written (in an unpublished feature) that The Walking Dead manages to convey all the power of a larger story with potentially lower, or at least more concentrated and localized, stakes. It doesn't need world-ending peril to be incredibly engaging.
The story doesn't have to be about saving the world. It's only about saving your friends and people close to you, and yet it's more effective than any game that hit this year. If you have a chance to play it, you should.
