Square Enix Continues to Prove Why It's Incapable of Making Anything Other Than Shit
This last weekend in Tokyo, Square Enix held an open conference centered around its real-time tech demo, Agni's Philosophy: Final Fantasy. While presenting the technical aspects was paramount in the design of Agni's Philosophy (as it was meant to showcase the detail and flexibility of Square's new Luminous Engine), its creators were adamant it feel like a Final Fantasy. But what exactly makes a Final Fantasy a "Final Fantasy"? To answer this question they put together a list of the five minimum components for a Final Fantasy.
The first item on the list is "magic," an obvious point on the list given it is a key component in every iteration of the franchise. The second is "summoning," which has been a staple of the series since Final Fantasy III. The third on the list of needed components is "gorgeous beauty." This one is interesting as, given the sprite-based nature of the first six Final Fantasies, "gorgeous beauty" didn't really enter the equation until the PS1 era (OP: EXCUSE U THO FF6 LOOKED BOSS). Still, no doubt modern Final Fantasies are very much into being visually stunning in both design and graphics.
The fourth thing needed in a Final Fantasy is a little ambiguous: "refinement." They didn't specify refinement of what exactly, but each game in the series has at least tried to refine the parts of gameplay that didn't work in the previous iteration. The same can be said of graphical refinement as there can be no doubt that each Final Fantasy has looked better than the previous incarnation (with the possible exception of the MMOs).
Lastly, they stated that Final Fantasies need "change and challenge." The "change" part is obvious, with each numbered Final Fantasy taking place in a new world with a new cast. The battle system also changes from game to game as well. As for "challenge," that is a bit more ambiguous, but it could mean that each world has a challenge that must be overcome. It could also speak to finding the balance in gameplay between tedious grinding and welcome challenge.
So there you have it: what Square Enix thinks are the basic components to a Final Fantasy. For the most part I agree with this list, though I think things like "a world threatening conflict" and "an unlikely group of heroes" are also key components to the Final Fantasy formula... not to mention Moogles. I don't know about you, but I get really angry if my Final Fantasies are Moogle-less.
this list proves Square Enix doesn't know wtf it's talking about and will continue to run FF into the ground. Signed and fucking sealed.
With Square Enix posting losses in its latest earnings, former Square Co. boss Hisashi Suzuki thought this would be good a time as any to kick the company while it is down.
Via Twitter, Suzuki didn't hold back, claiming that the total value of publicly traded stock is not higher than it was before Square joined with Enix. According to Suzuki, "The merger was a complete failure. There's no vision for the future." He ended his tweet by pointing to Square Enix's recent losses, adding that development costs were heavy.
Suzuki was the president of Square from 2000 to 2002, before the company merged with Enix to form Square Enix. He was a Director at Square Enix from 2003 to 2005, and he is currently a Director at Sega, a former Rakuten senior exec, and a blunt Twitter user.

Mission: Friends University, a Christian University of Quaker heritage, equips students to honor God and serve others by integrating their intellectual, spiritual and professional lives.
Friends University
One of the largest independent institutions of higher learning in the state, Friends University is a successful and growing independent university located just west of downtown Wichita, in the heart of Kansas. The University's 56-acre main campus is located in a park-like setting in a quiet residential community.
In addition to the main campus in Wichita, the University operates permanent centers in the state's capital city, Topeka and in Overland Park, a suburb of greater Kansas City, as well as in numerous outreach sites across the state. The University's current enrollment is 2,032 students. Classes are small, ranging in size from as few as 10 to a maximum of 50. The student population is diverse, representing a variety of cultures, backgrounds, ages and states.
The city of Wichita combines the benefits of an urban center with a small-city feel. The metro area of some 500,000 persons offers rich opportunities to experience the arts, music, theater, education, sports, world-class restaurants and excellent shopping. The cost of living is well below the national average. In July 2006, CNN/Money and Money magazine ranked Wichita ninth of 10 in U.S. big cities in which to live and in 2008, MSN Real Estate ranked Wichita first on its list of affordable "best, livable cities." In June 2009, Wichita was recognized for the fourth time as an "All American City." Wichita is rich both in the breadth of its arts communities and in corporate support for the arts.
Founded in 1898, by the Society of Friends, Friends University provides a welcoming and supportive environment for both traditional and adult students. In the 1930s, governance of the University was vested in an independent Board of Trustees and the University now operates in an amicable but independent relationship with the founding denomination. The University's Quaker/Christian heritage continues to shape its ethos, values and mission. Long known for the excellence of its programs in the fine and performing arts, the University has gained an excellent reputation for the quality of its academic programs as well as for its more professionally oriented programs such as business and education.

Meatless Monday: Buckwheat with beets and dill
It's time to up the number of buckwheat recipes on Nami-Nami - and I think this beautiful porridge kasha recipe fits the bill nicely. The inspiration for this recipe is from Rose Elliot's book Learning to Cook Vegetarian, and if you love buckwheat and you love beets, then you must try this! It's best served hot, but if you have any leftovers, then this is also an excellent lunch box dish.
A note about buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum). It's a pseudograin, and not a member of the cultivated grasses (Graminaceae) to which most grain cereals belong. Buckwheat is closely related to sorrel and rhubarb. It's native to central Asia - buckwheat was domesticated in China or India some 1000 years ago - and was introduced to Northern Europe during the Middle Ages. It's hugely popular in Russia, where the buckwheat groats are toasted to make porridge kasha and the greyish flour is used to make blinis that are famously enjoyed with caviar or smoked salmon.
Note that buckwheat is naturally gluten-free, so it's a suitable and tasty grain alternative to all those who need to avoid gluten.
Buckwheat with beetroot and dill
Serves six to eight
2 Tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
250 g buckwheat groats (about 300 ml)
750 ml boiling water (3 cups)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
500 g cooked beetroot, grated
2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
sour cream or plain yogurt, to serve (omit for a vegan meal)
First, you need to toast the buckwheat. The buckwheat we usually use in Estonia is pre-roasted and dark brown, so this can be heated on a dry skillet for about 2-3 minutes. If you're using the "light" buckwheat groats, then roast them on a dry hot skillet for about 6-7 minutes, until it's nicely toasty and aromatic.
Heat the oil in a large high frying pan/sauté pan. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for another minute or so.
Add the toasted buckwheat and boiling water, season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce heat and simmer on a low heat for 15-20 minutes, until the water has absorbed and buckwheat is nice and soft (but not mushy!!!).
Fold in the grated beets and heat for another 2-3 minutes. Taste for seasoning, stir in the dill and serve hot.
Lovely with a dollop of sour cream/yogurt and some grilled (Portobella) mushrooms.

The beetroot gives a wonderful colour. I have never cooked with buckwheat and to be honest I'm not sure I've ever knowingly had it. By the sounds of this though, it seems like I would be a fan of the texture so I think i'm inspired enough to incorporate it into my own cooking. Hey, I may even start off with this dish.

Hi, I've just discovered your blog. I'm from Latvia and I enjoy reading about Estonian food - i find a lot of similarities with our food. Must be some of that USSR heritage, eh? I've spent half my day reading this blog now :D I'll definitely continue following, even though I'm a vegan & a lot of the stuff doesn't apply to me.
This, however, I'm definitely going to try! I adore buckwheat & beets, eat a lot of them both, but have never tried to combine them. This will be fun :)

What makes a job the worst?
"To be at the bottom of the list, you really have to have a lot of things working against you," said Tony Lee, the publisher of CareerCast.
CareerCast, which put together the list of the 10 best jobsand this list of the 10 worst jobs, used five main criteria: The work environment, physical demands, outlook, income and stress.
There are two things that a lot of these jobs have in common; they're dangerous or involve strenuous working conditions and they don't pay very well, even though the usual rule of thumb is the more dangerous job, the bigger the paycheck.
Also, the entire bottom 10 list doesn't require a college degree.

Phillies' search for pitching coach continues
PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies probably figured they would have a new pitching coach by the time the free-agent market opened Tuesday.
They do not.
PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies probably figured they would have a new pitching coach by the time the free-agent market opened Tuesday.
They do not.
They have interviewed or contacted at least seven candidates: Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell, Pirates special assistant to the general manager Jim Benedict, Mariners special assistant to the general manager Pete Vuckovich, Phillies bullpen coach Rod Nichols, Marlins bullpen coach Reid Cornelius, Triple-A Lehigh Valley pitching coach Ray Burris and Triple-A Durham pitching coach Neil Allen.
McDowell had been their top choice once the Reds made Bryan Price their manager, but after the Phillies spoke with McDowell late last week, the Braves announced Saturday he had agreed to a two-year extension. Benedict could have been offered the job -- he impressed in his interview and has a strong track record with Pirates pitchers -- but a source said Tuesday he recently told the Phils he will remain with the Bucs.
Oddly, former Braves pitching coach Leo Mazzone tweeted Monday to the Phillies' official Twitter account: "I would be very interested in being your pitching coach. #championshipball." But one source said his name had not been discussed.
So what's next?
"We're still doing our due diligence," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Tuesday.
Asked if he is surprised or frustrated it has taken so long to find somebody to replace Rich Dubee, Amaro said, "We're just trying to get the right guy. We're still looking through candidates."
Amaro said he still likes some of the candidates the Phillies have interviewed and possible candidates they have not interviewed. But clearly the Phils have watched some of their favorites fall off the board.

|At the Frontier of Physics and Chemistry
Improved computational capability introduced a decisive change in the theoretical picture of superconductivity.
In January 1986, Georg Bednorz and Karl Müller found that a novel copper-oxide compound chilled to 30 degrees above absolute zero allowed electricity to flow without resistance. "The Superconductivity Revolution" announced the cover of Time magazine in 1987 after the two IBM scientists won the Nobel Prize. Their discovery brought an exotic, quantum phenomenon into public consciousness and awakened a dream of technological nirvana room-temperature superconductivity.
To transmit electrical current without the slightest loss of energy is magic without trickery, perhaps the closest thing to a free lunch Mother Nature offers. A material that is superconducting at room temperature would likely lead to high-speed trains that levitate on superconducting magnets, practical electric cars and superfast networks and computer chips.
Although room-temperature superconductivity remains an elusive quest, the 1986 breakthrough jump-started research in superconductivity around the globe that continues today. Within a few years, scientists found other copper-oxide materials and soon pushed the critical temperature, Tc, where resistance drops, well above 100 degrees Kelvin (100 K). Though still very cold absolute zero, 0 K, is minus 273 degrees Celsius it's warmer than liquid nitrogen, 77 K, which has enabled some useful applications. A few urban utility companies have tripled their capacity to carry power simply by replacing their existing underground cables with liquid-nitrogen cooled superconducting cables, and cellular telephone towers have extended their reception range and call-handling ability with superconducting signal filters.
Along with furious laboratory efforts to find ever higher Tc materials, the 1986 breakthrough stirred intensive theoretical work, and while engineers have developed uses for high-Tc materials, physicists still can't explain why they are superconducting. One leader in the field, David Pines, staff scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, says that understanding high-temperature superconductivity is "arguably the major problem in physics today" with thousands of published papers a year contributing to the effort.
"If we can arrive at a complete theoretical explanation of high-temperature superconductivity," says solid-state physicist Mark Jarrell of the University of Cincinnati, "then we should be able to design and synthesize a room-temperature superconductor, which would have tremendous technological implications."
Superconductivity is a quantum phenomenon in the solid state, and theoretical formulations to describe it depend on high-performance computing to solve the equations. The solid state, which includes metals, semiconductors and insulators, is a densely packed, regularly spaced lattice of atoms with electrons moving among them. The electrons and electron states that must be accounted for are, like fish in the sea, essentially infinite, and it's not possible, therefore, even with the most powerful supercomputers, to exactly calculate all the interactions that bear on the electronic properties of a solid-state material. The theoretical challenge is to develop computational approaches that can reasonably approximate the complex physics and produce reliable predictions.
Within the past few years, Jarrell has developed an original approach, called the Dynamical Cluster Approximation, that extends and overcomes a serious limitation of another approach. Using the prototype Terascale Computing System at Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and a massively parallel implementation of this new approach, he and his colleague, post-doctoral fellow Thomas Maier, carried out computations with a theoretical model, the two-dimensional Hubbard model, that has gained general acceptance as a theoretical framework for high-Tc materials. Because the high-Tc materials are structurally a series of copper-oxide planes, with apparently almost no interactions between the planes, they can be modeled as 2-D systems.
Jarrell's computations for the first time indicate clearly, nevertheless, that the 2-D Hubbard model is incomplete as a description of high-temperature superconductivity. "Up until now," says Jarrell, "nobody has been able to address the question as to whether this model describes high-Tc superconductivity."
Short-Lived Success
Superconductivity first revealed itself in 1911. Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh-Onnes chilled mercury to superlow temperatures and found that electrical resistance vanished at 4.2 K. He called this strange physical state superconductivity and won the 1913 Nobel Prize in physics for his work.
In subsequent years, other superconducting materials were discovered, with Tc reaching to almost 20 K by the time of Bednorz and Müller's discovery. Due to the underlying physics of these pre-1986 materials, now called low-temperature or conventional superconductors, many physicists were convinced that superconductivity couldn't exist above 23 K, and part of the shock-effect of the 1986 breakthrough was the demolition of this mental barrier.
For many years after 1911, there was no way to explain superconductivity. It just existed. As quantum theory came into being in the 1920s and 30s, however, a few physicists realized that this bizarre electronic behavior fell into the rare category of a quantum effect manifested on a macroscopic scale. By the mid-1950s, John Bardeen, Leon Cooper and John Schrieffer had worked out the mathematical details of what has come to be called BCS theory.
Under normal conditions, an electrical current flows in metal as a stream of electrons. Resistance occurs as the moving electrons bang around in the lattice of atoms and lose energy, which creates microscopic vibrations that spread and dissipate as heat. Being negatively charged, electrons usually repel each other, but at low enough temperatures, says BCS theory, they form pairs called Cooper pairs that exist as a single quantum entity with the seemingly magical ability to defy conventional physics. Like the Wuxia masters in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" who float effortlessly through space, Cooper pairs flow through the metal lattice unimpeded.
Electrons pair up despite their mutual repulsion, says BCS theory, through the mediation of quantum vibrations. By their interactions with positively charged ions in the lattice, electrons generate packets of vibrational energy, dubbed phonons, and according to BCS theory, low temperatures allow phonons to operate as matchmakers that facilitate a telepathic-like link between electrons. At higher temperatures, stronger vibrations break up the phonon-induced Cooper pairs, and superconductivity goes away.
The proof of the pudding for BCS theory is that it fits comprehensively with the phenomenology of conventional superconductivity, successfully explaining all the measured data and predicting some new effects. This theoretical success story, however, reached the end of its road in 1986.
Something Happening Here
BCS theory won a 1972 Nobel Prize for its creators, but it doesn't work for high-temperature superconductivity. Some version of Cooper pairs still appears to be the joy juice of the new superconductivity, but the phonon-induced mechanism of BCS theory isn't strong enough to hold electrons together at the higher temperatures. In the words of a 60s song, "There's somethin' happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear."
Fifteen years of prodigious work on high-Tc materials has established that they constitute a new realm of solid-state physics. In virtually every respect, their normal state behavior above Tc differs markedly from conventional superconductors.
"What's weird about high-temperature superconductors," explains Jarrell, "is they're a pathetically bad metal." Unlike metals, the copper-oxide materials, also known as cuprates, are flaky in consistency. Along with being devilishly tricky to prepare, they're almost more like insulators than metals at room temperature, with poor ability to conduct electricity. Also unlike conventional superconductors, their electrical and magnetic properties are highly directional (anisotropic). And a range of quantum properties in the normal state things like characteristic spin-excitation energy differ dramatically from low-Tc materials.
The big job of finding a theory that pulls this exotic new solid-state world into a coherent picture has gone in many directions, but the most widely accepted starting place has been the 2-D Hubbard model. A decade ago, Jarrell's University of Cincinnati colleague, Fuchun Zhang, showed that this model, a mathematical expression formulated 40 years ago to describe magnetism, captures the essential physics of the cuprates. Part of the beauty of the model is its two-dimensionality, which means reduced mathematical complexity from the full realism of three dimensions.
"It's the simplest possible model you could construct," says Jarrell. One term describes electron-electron interactions and another accounts for electrons hopping site-to-site in the lattice, a minimal number of parameters that, despite its relative simplicity, has shown an ability to accurately calculate many of the strange properties associated with high-Tc superconductors, at least in the normal state. The main problem has come in finding a way to solve the Hubbard model under conditions that replicate the transition to superconductivity.
Solution of the Hubbard model for the infinite number of electrons in a solid-state lattice requires an approximation scheme. An approach called the Dynamical Mean Field has proven useful in many calculations, but is inherently inadequate for the high-Tc transition because it's "localized." The DMF approximation accounts for interactions between electrons at one atomic site, while other sites in the lattice are in effect averaged as a mean field. Studies have shown, however, that a fundamental characteristic of high-temperature superconductivity is that the pairing interactions are non-localized electrons from neighboring atoms, rather than the same atom, interact strongly.
Redrawing the Map
A good deal of activity has gone toward developing non-localized extensions to the DMF approximation. In the last few years, Jarrell developed a sophisticated approach, the Dynamical Cluster Approximation, that incorporates non-local corrections to the DMF approximation by mapping the problem onto a cluster of sites, which is itself embedded within the mean field. In 2000, he used the DCA approach to solve the 2-D Hubbard model on a CRAY T3E at Ohio Supercomputer Center. With a cluster of four sites, the smallest possible, his results showed properties in good general agreement with high-temperature superconducting materials, including transition to the superconducting state.
"Initially, everything looked very promising," says Jarrell. The poor electrical conductivity of the normal state was replicated, and also the transition to superconductivity. "For small clusters, we found essentially the phase diagrams of a cuprate."
The scale of the computation increases dramatically with expanded cluster size, and Jarrell was temporarily precluded from looking at the effect of larger cluster sizes. In spring 2001, however, Jarrell and Maier gained access to the prototype Terascale Computing System, facilitating a series of calculations expanding cluster size up to 16. The increase in computational capability introduced a decisive change in the theoretical picture.
"As we systematically increased cluster size," says Jarrell, "superconductivity systematically went away. That tells you something fundamental. We believe that the 2-D Hubbard model is not sufficient by itself. Something new has to be introduced."
Among several possibilities, Jarrell notes that a fully accurate model of superconductivity may need to add coupling between copper-oxide planes. Initial explorations of this showed restoration of superconductivity, but even with the prototype TCS it wasn't possible to systematically explore the effect of coupling. Another possibility is "chemical disorder" of the cuprates, variation in the number of oxygen atoms from region to region.
It's impossible to predict how much computing it will take to thoroughly explore these questions, says Jarrell, but the full-scale TCS will allow him to get started. "We don't understand high-temperature superconductivity in an analytic fashion. If we put in chemical disorder, we don't know what the effects are going to be. This is research driven by tremendous curiosity and ignorance."
Sooner or later, answers will come. When solid-state physicists arrive at the full story of how paired electrons stay paired at high temperatures, they'll be a big step closer to knowing how to create a room-temperature superconductor. When that happens, our use of electricity will never be the same.

If you've paid attention to much of the mainstream media commentary over the past few years, you've probably noticed that Generation Y — or millennials — are a confused bunch. They've lost touch with classic American values, they switch jobs every few months, and are narcissistic and motivated by different things than previous generations. Or they are just plain lazy. Why are they not chasing the same piece of the cake that the previous generations did?
I've read these articles about what ails our generation with a measure of disbelief. It is as if these statements are being made in an alternate reality where the vaunted Boomers and Gen-Xers – the great generations that the millennials just can't measure up to— didn't actually spend the last decade plundering the economy for their own benefit at the expense of their children. It's a truly sadistic spectacle, and our generation should resist it.
What we've seen over the past 20 years is that essentially one part of the population has voted gigantic benefits onto themselves at the cost of the long-term fiscal health of the nation. The stats have been recited ad nauseam, but let's touch on the highlights: the OMB shows that gross national debt from $6 to $12 trillion, or 57% to almost 100% of GDP, with even the most optimistic projections forecasting further increases. That growth is mostly owed to entitlement spending growth, particularly pension and healthcare benefits for seniors. Other drivers include tax cuts, loose monetary policy, and financial deregulation – in each case essentially trading short-term enrichment for long-term indebtedness.
It's a huge debt, one that we will realistically never be able to pay back, and it wasn't incurred in response to a generational moral challenge as in the 1940s (the last time that these debt-to-GDP levels were reached). No, this debt was incurred purely to finance current consumption. And that current consumption – Social Security and Medicare – doesn't go to Generation Y.
But where is the outrage? Who do my peers think is going to pay for this but us? Sure, most responses to critiques of our generation's living habits defensively point to economic flux, but there's no good old-fashioned indignation. Instead of commentary on why we went wrong, we should demand an apology!
In the words of one famous millennial, why are we just waiting on the world to change? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2010 voter participation rate for eligible voters under 35-years-old was around 27%. For seniors over 65, it was 61%, amounting to about 23 million voters (compared to under 17 million voters under 35). At that participation rate, the under-35-year olds would outnumber senior voters almost 2 to 1, and perhaps proposals like raising the retirement age and rolling back Medicare would gain more traction. Beyond voting, millennials should change the tenor of the public discourse. After all, when have you ever read a headline that says "Medicare coverage expanded, nation's children face diminished economic prospects"?
To be sure, there are some initiatives that are beating this drum. But the standard for common-sense adjustments such as revising the social security age upwards are generally the subject of fiscal conservatives, not the rallying cry of a generation. Generation Y needs to come to terms with the enormous burden it is being forced to shoulder, and bring some real rage to bear onto the national discourse.
Perhaps the response to the question why we aren't chasing the same piece of the cake that our parents did is that the cake is a lie. Our parents and grandparents already ate it.

Recounting the Enchanting Attractions of Munnar – 2nd part
Next morning, we were supposed to go for sightseeing. The driver picked us up from the hotel and we were out for another beautiful experience to visit Neelakurinji. Though it was March, yet the temperature fluctuated dramatically. As we were loaded up on bottled waters, we could easily deal with the hot weather. Finally we reached Neelakurinji, which was a sight to behold.
Neelakurinji is a flower, which is found high on the mountains. Based on our guide's knowledge, we came to know that the flower blooms once in every 12 years.
Having a wish to see the blooming flower, we left for Anamudi Peak. Known as the highest peak in South India, it captured us for a long time. I and Sherry just could not take off our eyes from the gorgeous sights. A drive in the hill station is totally a refreshing experience as you come across many beautiful sights that lift up your mood.
Mattupetti Dam was the next part of our exploration. Just 10 km from Munnar, it is a splendid dam with boating arrangements in its reservoir area. We saw many people with their family. With its fascinating atmosphere, it becomes a great place for picnic.
After that, comes the Echo Point. As the name suggests, the place 'Eco Point' allowed us to hear the reverberations of our voice. Our next halt was at Kundala, another pristine location. It has an angelic dam site. We drove back to the hotel and treated our taste buds with the delicious food.
Sherry told that next day we would be visiting Devikulam. As we started, I was unable to hold back my excitement. This small yet sensuous little town just mesmerized us with its lovely lawns and beautiful plantations. The mist-coated hills and fresh mountain air multiplied our joy of our trip to Munnar.
We also visited Sita Devi Lake. It is famous for trout fishing. While passing through the roads, we could see the locals, enjoying working in tea gardens with their families. The sight forced us to think that how these people could enjoy working outside with such enthusiasm whereas we even get tired while sitting in our cabins with all the modern facilities! May be this is the charm and aura of hill station that keep your refreshed with its cool air and natural surroundings.
At the end of our tour, I insisted Sherry to buy some tea packets from shopping outlets in Munnar as I wanted to take home the magical aroma, I smelled there. We bought few packets and came back to our hotel. Next day, we were back to New Delhi for further journey.
All I could say after that trip is, we were even more happy, contended and refreshed with our Kerala visit!!

I've unambiguously outlawed pre-game sorting, surely that implies that I consider it to be cheating? Not sure what more I can do other than call Jono a 'big dirty cheaty cheaty ginger cheat', but that would be unnecessarily confrontational and therefore counter-productive.Heather Styles wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2017 10:01 amLack of backbone at not being prepared to call being deliberately selective with letters cheating. Also at making exception for a particular type of cheating just because you have done it.Ben Wilson wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2017 11:10 pmWhat 'lack of backbone'? This is the first I've ever heard of something like this happening at an event- it's not like I can police sixteen simultaneous games of Countdown, after all. I've said firmly 'no p-regame sorting', which is what Jono asked about, but generally people would prefer not to play rounds like 'HMNDIIIII'. Preventing four consecutive identical vowels is the sole concession I've made because I've done that before at Edinburgh-style events, turned over three 'I's, saw that a fourth was about to come out, gone 'screw that' and picked the first non-I vowel instead. It makes the game more fun, and that's why people come to these events- to have fun. Decision stands.Heather Styles wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2017 11:01 pmI'm disappointed at your lack of backbone on this, Ben. It makes me feel like a mug that I've played by what are self-evidently the rules at previous events.
As for the second thing, I go to these events to have fun. rounds like the example I gave aren't fun. And it's only cheating if it's against the rules. COLIN is my event, therefore I make the rules.

Years ago, Laura Marling received some advice.
"'If you believe the good ones, you have to believe the bad ones,'" the British folk singer recalls someone telling her about reviews. "From that I deduced that it's probably best not to read any of them."
Consequently, she's ignoring near-unanimous accolades. Marling's 2008 debut, "Alas, I Cannot Swim," came out just after her 18th birthday and earned a nomination for Britain's prestigious Mercury Music Prize. Subsequent records (2010's also Mercury-nominated "I Speak Because I Can" and 2011's "A Creature I Don't Know") only continued the stream media and fan praise for the sophisticated talent of a singer-songwriter who is now only 22.
From her home in London, Marling (who expects to release a new, currently untitled album in early 2013) talked about constantly being called wise beyond her years, revealing more about her listeners than herself and limits to her Experiments in Awkwardness that should recall for "Arrested Development" fans that classic guideline, "No touching!"
Laura Marling
When: 8 p.m. June 19
Where: Athenaeum Theater, 2936 N. Southport Ave.
Tickets: $22-$25,773-935-6875
You can't search for a Laura Marling interview and not find someone writing about you being wise beyond your years or having a voice that sounds like you're older than you are. How much do you take that as a compliment, or is there a point at which you wish people would stop acting so amazed you're not older?
[Laughs.] I think it reminds me that I'm cursed with a child's face. I'm always going to have the face of a child. I've got a very young-looking face. That annoys me because people always think I'm really young. They think I'm like 15 or 16. I'm constantly getting ID'd for cigarettes and alcohol. I'm sure I won't be so bemoaning of it in a few years time. But I find age to be a strange thing. I don't [mind] that people mention it all the time; I just find it weird that we're so structured by it when it's so subjective.
Maybe now's the time to dye your hair gray so people will say, "There's the wisdom we've been hearing."
[Laughs.] Yeah, maybe. Maybe that would stop it all.
You've said that you have a guitar with you at all times, and if you have a spare moment you pick it up and do some writing but don't actually write down new songs. Do you ever go back to something and almost don't recognize what you've written because it's so entrenched in that time that it came to you?
Yeah, actually that happens very often. It's nice. It feels like every song is something on that day. Everything I write is something I've dealt with so when I come back to them or I play them again live it's always kind of new.
Does it feel like recapturing the way you felt that day, or does it feel like performing a song by somebody else?
It depends. I think when I perform it best I'm back where I was when I wrote it. When I can't quite bring myself to do that then it feels slightly alien.
It seems like you see a lot of change and growth from record to record. Do you now think about this as you work and say, "I love this today, but who knows about in a year?"
[Laughs.] Now I understand when it's appropriate for me to be writing and when I will be writing and what that will mean. And then I'm able to decide—'cause I'm in the studio at the moment doing another album, and I knew that if I didn't do it now it wouldn't be right to do it any later. It wouldn't be relevant to me anymore. And that would be a shame I think. I don't like throwing away perfectly good songs. So I am conscious of it.
Do you have a title yet?
No, not yet.
In your album titles you've had the words "Cannot," "Can" and then "Don't." I assume this one will have something to do with something you can "Do."
[Laughs.] It might, now that you put that thought in my head. [Laughs.]
You've talked about not editing your work. Would you ever change something so people were more likely to understand it, or do you prefer that people don't necessarily know the intricacies of you from songs that can be abstract?
My objective is never so people can know me. When I listen to music I don't want to know the writer; I don't expect to. But I want them to understand something about me. Not that I really consider this my [goal], but if I imagine what I would hope somebody listening [would get, it's] that they understand something about themselves, not something about me. And so I don't think I'd ever go out of my way to make it a biography of my life.
Do you think that's how a lot of people listen to music? I think many people do want to feel like they're getting to know an artist.
I don't know. That's my perception. I'm a fan of music as well. There are artists that I love. You do get an incredible sense of intimacy with some of them and you feel like they're being creative but very honestly, and you do get a sense of intimacy. But I don't feel like I know their life; they're putting into words [something] that I can relate to, and that's what I think entices me to listen.
Is there a sense of isolation that comes with that place of intelligence? After sharing a book (Robertson Davies' "The Rebel Angels") with people, you said, "I gave it to everyone I knew, and no one has read it."
[Laughs.] Yeah, but that is the thing about literature and music. You use it as a way of defining yourself. You use it as an extension of your character. Somebody else's words writing your thoughts. And I think everybody who relates to music is kind of isolated. It's lonely. Everyone who uses the creative side of their brain is that much removed from reality. They are looking for answers wherever they can find them.
Tell me about your Experiments in Awkwardness. Where did that idea come from, why did you do it and when will you do one in Chicago?
[Laughs.] We had a summer last year where we were playing a lot of festivals, and I hate festivals ... I find a huge contradiction because they're meant to be these great get-togethers … and now they're just really over-crowded, really overpriced, and I find them very strange. Anyway, I thought it would be quite interesting if we were doing all these festivals to take people out of that overcrowded, really busy place and put them in a tiny, tiny space and not tell them what was happening. And then go in and play them a song really, really close to them and not acknowledge and not have any kind of normal human interaction with them other than playing the music and then just leaving the room again. And it was two strangers at a time in a room; they had never met each other and they didn't know what they were doing there. We got people to write down what they thought of the experience, what it made them feel. It was really interesting. Some people loved it, and some people thought it was really horrible and some people thought it was like mean of us to do that to them, and some people really got into it. We did it about 10 times.
Can we expect that you'll do it in Chicago?
No, no. We're correlating the results of the experiment now, so I think we're a bit done with that.
How tempting would it be to escalate the level of awkwardness each time? You'd have to start dumping tomato sauce on people at the beginning just to mess with people.
[Laughs.] We did consider how far we could push people. "Could I touch them? Would that be really inappropriate?" We decided yeah, it would.
email@example.com @mattpais.
On Chicago: "I've spent a bit of time there. Mainly [I think of] architecture."
If she really can't swim: "I can swim, yes. I've been a fully functioning swimmer most of my life."
Something she's never excelled at: "I'm really jealous of people who can sketch. I feel like it's a skill that I would really, really like to have but it's something I don't think you can learn. I think it's something you're born with."
Guilty pleasure movie: "I'm obsessed with Will Ferrell. I think he's one of the funniest men in the industry. I'm actually looking at a DVD of 'Anchorman' right now in my DVD player. We were watching it last night."
Who should play her in a movie, and who actually would: "[Laughs.] I would probably really enjoy Scarlett Johansson playing me, but likely it would be Dakota Fanning. When I'm in America people stop me in the street and tell me I look like her."

I'm happy to note that Andras Zeke finally resurfaced with his latest post, More on the libation formula - the statuette of Poros Herakliou. While it's another interesting post full of fresh points of view, I have to comment on the idea that, concerning U-QE-TI, "the 'U'-prosthetics might have been verbal formatives in the Minoan language". John Younger too mentions prefixes, citing Yves Duhoux[3].
Given the statistics of world language patterns and if we know next to nothing about Minoan, leaping to the assumption that we should find prefixes in this language is an attempt to grasp at straws. We need to focus on the more likely, not the least likely! I can easily explain away all of these alleged 'prefixes' that I've so far seen identified by others. Prefixes are simply unnecessary and only obstruct decipherment:
The YA-/A- alternation in Minoan is merely a reflection of the phonotactically motivated avoidance of word-initial semivowel /j/. The same constraint was coincidentally in effect in Etruscan. The differences seen between YA-SA-SA-RA-ME (IO Za 6) and A-SA-SA-RA-ME (PK Za 11) then don't involve morphology but rather spelling preferences and there is then no need to define a function for this 'prefix' that's in effect imaginary. The related I-prefix that is supposed is effectively only demonstrated by a single pair, I-DA-MA-TE (AR Zf 1, Zf 2) versus DA-MA-TE (KY Za 2), but isn't sufficient evidence since a single spelling aberration can't rule out other possibilities like syncope or scribal error.
No such suffix. It must be first established by identifying pairs with and without the morpheme. The argument that "words beginning with U- are relatively rare" isn't enough in establishing such a prefix.
This is surely not a prefix. It's a preposed distal demonstrative *tan, declined in the accusative case and identical to that found in Etruscan. Thus TA-NA-SU-TE-KE (PR Za 1) is two words, *tan suteke, the direct object of the phrase in question.

Summer is the time for adventures, for camping and travel and nights under the stars so for this month's contest the topic "My Most Adventurous Moment." Now depending on how wild you are this could be anything from living in the jungles of Borneo for a year, driving in California rush-hour traffic, or eating unidentifiable selections from the menu at the corner take-out place.
Maybe your adventure was marriage or parenthood, maybe it's been learning something new later in your life or picking up a new habit. This doesn't have to be Fear Factor, whatever you've done that was new and exciting counts as an adventure in my book. The entries will be judged more on the quality of writing than on the size of the adventure, so don't let the topic intimidate.
So once again, here are the rules:
1. Write a post or find one in your archives about your most adventurous moment. Email your post's permalink to me at: scribbit at gmail.com any time through Wednesday July 18th. If you fail to meet the July 18th deadline I will still happily publish the link to your post and include it in the list of entries but it will not be judged. I reserve the right to reject submissions if they fail to meet the topic or if they contain objectionable content.
2. Publish a link to the contest page here at Scribbit in either your entry post or in a separate post.
3. Check back here on Friday July 20th when I will post a complete list of the entries along with the Write-Away Winner and any honorable mentions our judge saw fit to award.
Our guest judge this month is Susan from Food Blogga whose adventures just continue to mount as an east-coast transplant in California. What makes Susan's blog wonderful (well, besides the great food, recipes and photographs) are her stories--yes she's got it all. She's an excellent writer who can spin a tale over something as simple as grapefruit and has kindly consented to look over the entries to find her favorite. Thanks so much Susan!
This month I'm handing out another ceramic plate, pictured at top, done by Alaskan artist Toni Maury from the Anchorage Gallery of Artique, Ltd. It's really a beautiful piece and certainly a worthy prize for the winner. If you go to Artique, Ltd.'s site you can see a sample of her work and a similar plate in blue.
But besides this the winner and all runners-up or honorable mentions (I leave that up to the judge to award them) will also get to take home this attractive Write-Away Winner button which he or she may display in their sidebar if they wish.
Congratulations to Cathi from El Reno, Oklahoma for winning Saturday's giveaway, I'll have another one this week that will again be open to all readers. And may I take this chance to say thank you to all the visitors that come by for the drawing? I enjoy reading each of the notes I get in the message section of the entries. I wish I could respond to each one but given the quantity (close to 400) I can't do more than enjoy and sometimes chuckle at your comments. I wish I had prizes to give to everyone who enters!

Passport Yachts Europe have been aware for some time that an increasing number of aspiring purchasers have long admired the quality and style of Passport Yachts and have been looking to join the elite ranks of Passport Yacht owners, but had a slightly smaller vessel in mind.
Passport Yachts Europe have responded to this, by having two new entry level models designed by Robert H.Perry specifically and exclusively for the European market.
The Passport Vista Europe 450AC and the Passport Vista Europe 470AC
Both the 450AC and the 470AC are aft cockpit and have a standard two stateroom layout and two heads configuration. Whilst not having all the freedom of the semi-custom choices enjoyed by their larger Passport sisters, they will still be individually built to order. They are not production boats and as such are crafted to the same exacting standards as all highly detailed Passport Yachts.
Being extremely competitively priced combined with a much higher specification than our immediate competitors, plus a delivery time of approximately 7 to 8 months, both these new yachts will undoubtedly prove to be a very popular offshore cruising choice.
Additional Specs, Equipment and Information:
Keel: Other
Hull Shape: Monohull

It is a great activity to color in the dots inside the Hebrew word Yom Kippur with Q-tips and paints.
My son has started reading so I made this little Yom Kippur Mini Book for him. I made some of the words in a lighter gray for him to trace to practice his English handwriting (not a favorite activity of his to say the least!).
Here's to a wonderful week and an easy fast!

I was thinking about taking a yellow marker to mark up some key disgusting bible passages in the gideon bibles I find, but there are so many. I might be up all night doing that. What do you suggest?

I was in a Japanese Sky resort once and there was a Buddhist Bible in the night stand. I found it quite refreshing. I love Buddhist, got it right years before most, sorry it didn't catch on.
Ignore it completely.
I have taken a bible or two and folded several pages so when the next occupant opens it, it goes to those pages. The pages I select are some of the deeds of JC and GOD. I circle them not with a sharpie but with a ball point pen..and I do it firmly, again to create an indent in the pages. Then I add a bit of commentary on the side...normally not in statement form, but in question form. Creating questions might cause someone to think!
Then I take to the covers and add some thoughtful questions there too.
I'll often go to John 3:16 and ask, "Was this a suicide of a triune god, or was this involuntary manslaughter of a careless father?
Not suicide at all ... just a temporary inconvenience to an eternal creature to whom no permanent harm could have come anyway. The sacrifice was only from a limited human point of view. To Haysus, it was more like doing without your smart-phone for a couple days.
oh nice. I need to print those out.
Homosexuality... why are they warning us about that? I don't like to see a perfectly acceptable sexual orientation lumped in with a list like this. Might as well warn us the Bible contains love poetry
If you've stayed in a hotel it'll be more than likely that you found a Bible in your dresser drawer and a note saying "this Bible was put here by a Gideon"; but who the fuck was Gideon? Here's a few fun facts about the guy you may not know.
Read the Bible for yourself. You will find the story of Gideon in Judges, chapters 6-9. The tale of Gideon is only one of many horror stories in the Bible, a book that glorifies genocide, slavery, homophobia and sexism.
(Source: thetumblratheist)
The Gideons are not really a denomination. It's an evangelical Christian organization and members can come from several different denominations. I just posted that info above because it's about the same as the stickers that are sold by ffrf to put inside the Gideon bibles. I didn't realize it had that swear word in there. I don't think that kind of language helps anything.
That's a pretty good link to a lot of information about the Gideon organization that leaves the Bibles in hotel rooms. And yes, they do leave King James Version Bibles. As far as I know, that's all they do. I don't know why you think I may have been offended by your post. It's very interesting. I did not know all those stories.
I think a good thing to leave with the bibles would be this paper -
Compilation of Biblical Nonsense by Barbara G. Walker.
Hi Roy:
You need to grow up and take your medicine like a man. All of the above that you attribute in some way to God shows the error of your position. Please, humble yourself before almighty God. Also, be careful of hypocrisy when you glorify sin. When you resort to the "f- bomb", you show yourself to be merciless unlike our heavenly Father who doesn't want anyone to perish, but that all should come to repentance. Please reconsider. If Jesus and God don't exist, but you believe, you lose little in the big scale of things. However, if Jesus truly is who he says he is and there is, in fact, a holy and just God, do you really want to experience a future suffering eternally, knowing you had a chance to believe, but didn't? Which is the greater loss? I will pray that you make the right choice. God bless you and keep you. May the light of Jesus shine in you forever.
If god truly loves all people why did he slaughter so many of them throughout the Earth's history?
The answer to this question is the same for all violence, including the accelerated violence that gave us the 20th century. Good and Evil cannot coexist. Abraham Lincoln, during the American civil war, said that both the North and the South invoked God, felt that God was on their respective side, and both sides viewed their God as righteous in their respective causes. Lincoln said that one side or both sides could be wrong, but that God could not, by his very nature, be both for and against something at the same time.
There will be slaughter until God's son redeems this world in apocalyptic final salvation. Don't blame God for the slaughter in history. The blame lies solely with the father of lies and deception, satan. God and satan oppose one another. The reason God did not destroy satan when he rebelled reflects on His eternal goodness. God could have destroyed the devil immediately when he rebelled against the Holy Father of creation, but he didn't. Do not call evil good and good evil which is what one assumes in the above fore-mentioned question. Unlike you, God is, by his nature, merciful. He wants to bring his creation to himself in worship because his creation CHOOSES freely to worship him. The very fact that evil still exists is a testimony to the charity and mercy of our eternal Father in heaven. God is long-suffering, and tolerant, and wishes that everything in his creation would repent choosing life over destruction. I would suggest that you get on your knees!
Ken Johnson
It always amuses me how, in the middle of asserting that evil exists so that we have the choice to love God or not, theists inevitably resort to the most authoritarian language in exhorting everybody to worship. Free will indeed; your language makes it quite clear that us poor sinners really have no choice at all. Get down on your knees... Go **** yourself!

IndustryGamers recently spoke with BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka about Dragon Age II, and the discontent of some fans at the changes in the RPG sequel compared with Dragon Age: Origins. Dr. Ray points out that these changes helped introduce a wider audience to the series, but also talks about making changes based on user feedback in upcoming Dragon Age II DLC, and presumably Dragon Age III.

I've heard that silicone moulds bake much more evenly, easier to clean, no rusting and light. When Baked and Delicious offered to send me an issue of their new magazine to try out, I jumped at the chance. The magazine is sold every fortnight and subscription gets you a copy of the magazine, which comes with a different silicone mould each time.
I got Issue 3 of the magazine, which came with a green loaf "tin" mould. Upon flicking through the magazine, I found that there were 2 recipes in the magazine to use with the mould. Other recipes looked to be quite traditional and classic recipes. There's a sachertorte recipe in there that I'm dying to try out next. There's lots of photos of what the end result should look like, which I always prefer. I just can't seem to visualise recipes without a photo. There's also step by step instructions for some recipes for novices and advanced students if you're new to that cake.
So firstly, here is my cake. Do you think it looks as good as the photo in the magazine? I'm pretty bad at food styling so took queues from the magazine photo.
So let's talk about the magazine and mould. I must say I was surprised that the recipe still asked for the mould to be buttered and floured. I assumed that the advantage of silicone was that it wouldn't stick? As it was the first time I was using a silicone mould, I didn't want to risk the cake being a disaster and floured the mould. Next time I'm going to try not buttering and flouring. Does anyone know if it will still stick without the butter/flour? I found the mould tended to sag out due to the weight of the batter, which a tin wouldn't do. This had the benefit that, despite the cake might be a bit "fat", it doesn't all spill out over the top and look super ugly. It retains a fairly flat top, which I like. The cake was cooked through really well, and was faster in time than my normal tins. With my normal tins, which are much smaller, a butter cake would take about 60-75 minutes in my oven. This cake took about 55 minutes to cook all the way through, maybe even slightly overcooked. That in part was my fault, as I found I had the oven temperature too high (must always look at the oven thermometer rather than trust the oven setting) and then dropped the temperature down for the last 30 minutes. Flipping the cake out was super easy, as was cleaning the mould as I didn't need to be careful not to scratch it. The lightweight is actually handy, much easier to store. Trust me, once you have accumulated about 40 cake tins (all very large), weight and storage start to become issues.
As for this Lemon Drizzle Cake recipe, it was good. I'm not a fan of lemon desserts at all. I don't understand lemon tarts, lemon meringues, lemon slices or lemon butter cakes. So don't let my view on this cake taint your views. Others who I gave the cake to liked it. I will say that this cake didn't have a fine crumb and was a bit coarser. What I did love though was the syrup that went over it. Something about that kept making me go back for more cake. The golden syrup mixed with the lemon juice turned this cake from something I wouldn't eat much of, to something I did like. The recipe is super easy, although I think the magazine is a bit generous with it's preparation time estimates. The recipe estimated 15 minutes of prep time. I think I used up my 15 minutes to get out the equipment, measure out the ingredients and zest and juice my lemons. My final measured preparation time was 45 minutes, which is typical for a cake like this. If only I had sous chefs to grab and measure everything for me and then also clean up *sigh* :-)
Overall, I did like the silicone mould and think the magazine has nice and simple recipes that I would attempt. Hence, I am happy to recommend this magazine for you to try. It will be fun to try out the various moulds from each issue and the recipes that use them. Below, I have a giveaway for one reader to win a subscription to the Baked and Delicious magazine. If you don't happen to win, you can subscribe to get your hands on the magazine.
Thank you to everyone for entering the competition. So many great cake experiences. After much consideration, I have decided to award Elisa the winner. It was such a wonderful story and I have a soft spot for Gâteau aux framboises and learning French.
I have to give away to 1 reader, a full Subscription to Baked and Delicious magazine, which includes 60 issues of Baked and Delicious (each comes with a silicone mould) and 4 exclusive secret gifts, the total worth being $1,105.

A Tribute To Brother Weldon
Monk Hughes & The Outer Realm
Album Stones Throw STH2092
Description: Madlib and Yesterday's New Quintet's tribute the to the brilliant keyboardist, arranger and producer Weldon Irvine. Unlike YNQ's Stevie tribute, these tracks are not covers of Irvine compositions, but rather songs in the vein of YNQ's recent Ugly Beauty EP by Malik Flavors, inspired by the man and his music. The bulk of the material here finds Madlib and YNQ exploring deep into the territory of '60s and '70s improvised electric jazz. Tracks like "Time," with its lovely snaking analog keyboard lines, and "Welldone," with poised, gorgeous melodies anchored by a stuttering beat, both suggest a meeting place for out-jazz experimentalists of the Pharaoh Sanders, Sun Ra and the Strata-East fusion vibe. "Keys" and "Still Young, Gifted & Broke" add Brazilian-tinged rhythms to the mix, while "Day Of The Spirit Man" and "Master Wel's Tune" reveal Madlib's increasingly strong grasp of the complexity of the jazz idiom. Although it can be argued that Madlib is a bit premature in exploring the free-er elements, the strong stuff here more than makes up for his laconic moments.
