Willie's Off-Brand Web Journal: March 13-May 13, 2006
Thursday, March 30, 2006:
In the very first Life in Hell strip Matt Groening ever published, he had Binky the rabbit launch into a tirade about "forbidden words," which he defined thusly: "I'm not talking about so-called obscene or profane language, or even substandard English... Nosirree! I'm talking about those words and phrases that betray a lack of imagination on the part of the speaker or writer. Forbidden words include cliches, trite fad words, unnecessary jargon, solemn mystical mumbo jumbo, or parrot-like repetition of polysyllabic pseudo-profundities." He would later publish lists of such words ("...illin', infotainment, interface, jazzercize, just say no, kinder gentler nation..."), and for all I know, still does, as I haven't seen the strip in a few years.
At any rate, I've been compiling my own list of such words. Terms and phrases
I'm thoroughly sick of hearing, even if I'm guilty of using some of them
from time to time myself:
First and foremost, "Think[ing] outside the box." Equally guilty are related, quasi-clever slogans like "Think outside the bun" from Taco Bell or "Sometimes you have to think inside the box" from any number of businesses who deal in rectangular goods.
"Good to go."
Any People-based combination of the first names of two romantically linked celebrity units (e.g., Brangelina, Bennifer, Jennifince, Condoleezoogz, Joaquin-piece-of-raw-liver-rolled-into-a-tight-cylinder-and-stuffed-into-the-opening-of-his-car's-gas-tank).
"Don't try this at home."
"Don't get it twisted." I initially thought this phrase was specific to Ebony from the last season of America's Next Top Model, but I heard some other reality show contestant use it this past week (Brian from Top Chef, maybe?), so it's on the list.
"Can't we all just get along?"
"Sanctity of marriage," "Culture of life," "Freedom of religion; not freedom from religion"... you see where I'm going.
"Ask your doctor about [Lunesta, Zyrtec, Propecia, Cialis, Zanaflex, Temocil, Allegra, Vioxx, Thalidomide]."
"Off the hook" when used to indicate a particularly impressive or raucous feat or event.
"Do [y]our due diligence."
"Support our troops."
"Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!"
"Triple threat" in reference to celebrities to are active in three artistic disciplines, regardless of whether they evince a shred of talent at any (see, e.g., Lohan, Lindsay).
Any play on the phrase "No animals were harmed in the making of this film." Played. Out.
Feel free to contact me with your own additions. I'd like to do more of these until I hear from Groening's attorneys.

Sunday, March 19, 2006:
Thanks to tremendous help and encouragement from Janna, I have been offered a job with AmeriCorps, designing the new Senior Wealth Care program at the Eastern Agency on Aging. I start May 1. I'm very excited about this. However, as I don't want this entry to sound like a late-'90s Gwenyth Paltrow-on-Oprah gratitude journal, I'm going to talk about last Wednesday, which was among the worst days of my life.
I'd been contacted by my temp agency to see if I'd be willing to work a shipping/receiving job. It was described to me thusly: "You'd be packing up some boxes and maybe some light lifting. You will be at a bank, so although we want you to wear comfortable clothes, make sure you dress nicely." Since my year of shipping/receiving work at Barnes & Noble with Jon was an unqualified blast, I thought that sounded like something I could do. The job was to last five days, which was also nice, since I haven't worked in awhile, so I accepted. Put on my slacks and my fancypants shoes and got to work early Wednesday morn.
First off, I was told that I'd report to the bank at 19 Main St. in Bangor. I quickly discovered that, although Bangor has a lot of great things to offer- including fresh seafood and a lyric in Roger Miller's "King of the Road"- a building with the address of 19 Main St. is not among them. There's a 21 Main St. and then there's a Thai restaurant that seemingly has no address, but it's the last one on the road. I spent more time than a reasonable human being should have walking up and down the block, thinking, "I need the bank to be here" in the hopes that it would suddenly materialize like Hogwarts' Room of Requirement. Finally, I walked to a bus stop, successfully begged a dime from a sympathetic young woman, and called the staffing agency. Seems I was supposed to go to 19 Maine Avenue, but it was a moo point anyway, because the bank had decided us temps were supposed to show up at a different branch anyhow. This branch happened to be located in the same plaza as the staffing center itself.
I drove to the proper branch in an irresponsibly quick fashion, and none of the bank's workers seemed to be aware that they'd asked for temps. Finally, I was shuttled through several doors into a tiny back foyer, where several sad-eyed drones were carrying hefty boxes up from the basement and stacking them beside the open receiving door. The temp supervisor (who looked and sounded like a humorless version of Tone Loc) informed me that, rather than packing boxes as I was led to believe, we simply had to move two rooms' worth of boxes up from the basement so he could load them onto his truck. He told me we were "making a chain reaction" in that three of us would be carrying boxes up the stairs, and he and another temp would be carrying them outside. I should've bailed then, but dude was really intimidating.
So I was working in the basement with two other temps. We estimated that the boxes averaged between 30 and 40 pounds each, and they contained reams of paperwork: labels on their sides marked them as "Deleted online applications," "Cashier drawer balances," and so forth. Each box was also labeled with a "DESTROY" date to indicate how long these records needed to be retained. Some boxes contained heavy folders of junk that should've been shredded a year ago, and some of them had absurdly optimistic destruction schedules for the year 2030. My fellow temps were perfectly friendly to me, but we didn't really click. The guy, whom I'll call Lloyd, was my age, and was being crushed under the weight of child support he owed to his druggie ex-wife: "The only time she was happy to see me was on Fridays when I brought home a check. Then she'd spend the weekend blowing lines with her friends. I didn't care, in the end, as long as she left me beer money." The woman, whom I'll call Phillys-Ethie, was 42, and introduced herself by saying, "I'm not racial or nothin', but this is migrant worker work." Both of them were missing front teeth, due, they confessed, to bar fights.
I don't want to sound snobby, as though physical labor is beneath me, but I later calculated that throughout the day, I made 230 trips up and down the stairs, lugging nearly two and a half tons of accounting crap along the way. Not really what I signed up for. Particularly since I was wearing my pretend-to-care-about-how-I-dress shoes, which aren't particularly ergonomic in the sense that both my big toes currently possess blisters big enough to look like goiters. After about an hour, my hands smelled like sweat and blisters as well, like the aftermath of a round of miniature golf played with an exceptionally cheap putter, and my mind was playing an endless loop of my high school guidance counselor saying, "With an English degree, you can get any job you want."
After a few hours, we were joined by Perky McRahRah, the guy who owned the truck into which we were loading this outdated crap. He instantly bragged that he was working twice as hard as Lloyd and I (based on the fact that Lloyd and I were a little worn out from numerous trips up the stairs, while he was dewy fresh and carrying two boxes at a time) even though he's twice as old. He's a douche.
PERKY McRAHRAH: Do you guys vote?
ME: Yes.
LLOYD: No.
PHILLYS-ETHIE: No.
ME: [exaggerated sigh]
PERKY McRAHRAH: Well, I'm running for governor as an independent.
ME: Oh yeah? Do you have a website or anything where I can check out your platform?
PERKY McRAHRAH: No.
ME: Hmm.
PERKY McRAHRAH: But I will! Right now I'm just focusing on getting those 2,500 five-dollar checks so I can qualify for money from the Maine Clean Election Fund.
ME: Good luck.
So I know who I'm specifically voting against this November.
On our lunch break, Phillys-Ethie and I walked over to the staffing center and informed them that we wouldn't be returning to the bank the following day. I then overpaid for a Quizno's sub and wandered, dazed, around Bull Moose Records, with no memory of the many CDs I'd been intending to purchase. They were playing "Tonight, Tonight" by Smashing Pumpkins, which I will admit to finding affecting (I think the video, which features Mr. Show's Tom Kenny and Jill Talley in a parody of George Melies's A Trip to the Moon, is playful enough to deflate the arrangement's pompousness).
For the remainder of the afternoon, every time we came in contact with Tone Loc, he claimed to be throwing up in his mouth because the temp who was loading the truck with him wouldn't stop talking about string cheese. Lloyd and Phillys-Ethie swapped pit bull stories and drunk-driving tales (LLOYD: "My brother and I were wicked wasted the other night and drove off into the woods near the sheriff's department to outrun the cops." PHILLYS-ETHIE: "That was you? I heard about you on the scanner! I figured it was one of my cousins!").
So since then, my legs and back haven't really worked. I feel like I'm housing a thousand broken robots beneath my skin, and it's an effort even to walk. I kept reminding myself that I'm lucky that this was abnormal in my life- I've recently seen the documentary Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, and at least I'm not an Asian woman who has to work in even shittier circumstances on a daily basis for significantly less money because that's the lot into which they were born. I'm so lucky that I was born where I was, into the family I was, and so forth. But it's really not cool to mislead people the way I was misled. Regardless, I hope it's made me more sympathetic to the plight of those who have to do this stuff every single day with no way out. I don't know the best way to help them, but I want to, because after even a day of it, I was utterly broken. Help people if you can, is my point.

Monday, March 13, 2006:
A couple days ago, I had an interesting discussion with an older man about his military experience, and it left my head spinning for most of the day. I'll try to keep his factual personal details to a minimum, because although I'm generally careless about such things to a degree that my friends get reprimanded by their titular superiors, this could actually have legal implications assuming he told me the truth. I didn't even catch his name, actually, so I'll call him "Lawrence" because his scary/gruff SOB personality reminded me of Lawrence Tierney. Furthermore, my knowledge of military terminology doesn't go much beyond "DEFCON" and "unexploded ordnance," so I'm just going to guess at things. (Look- if you want informed commentary on military-related topics, Ben's your man. I'm largely your man for links to wonderfully sophomoric things like Tard Blog, so bear with me.)
Can't remember how we got on the subject of the armed forces, but I get the impression that it's a topic that's never far from Lawrence's tongue. In much the same way that I will scuttle across a crowded room for the chance to open my fat mouth if I hear someone mentioning Chris Ware, Scientology or the MPAA Production Code, the history of Lawrence's military service became the focal point of our conversation as soon as he could force it in.
Lawrence was in "the service"- I'm not sure which- for twenty-odd years in his youth. Early on in his career, his abdomen took a bullet in Laos which laid him up for nine months. While recovering, he received notice that he would be shipped off to Vietnam as soon as he was judged fit. This understandably rankled him: "I'm 19 years old, and they're shipping me off to Vietnam when I was expecting a Purple Heart and an honorable discharge." He complained to the hospital chaplain as there was really no one else to complain to, and the chaplain promised to do what he could to look into the issue; the chaplain attempted to reassure Lawrence that his upcoming trip was probably a clerical oversight, since the US was in the middle of conscription fever.
It wasn't a mistake, though. There were no deferments, Purple Hearts, or discharges forthcoming for Lawrence because officially, Lawrence had never been injured. In fact, he'd never officially been in Laos at all, but had been in Huntsville, Alabama all this time, training infantrymen. You see, technically if you want to get technical, it was illegal for United States military personnel to be doing whatever Lawrence and his unit (tee hee) had been ordered to do in Laos, so to this day, his military record reveals that he never had a severe enough injury during that period to necessitate bothering the medical workers of Huntsville. His superior officer explained to him that there was no way to get him out of serving in Vietnam without exposing the fact that the military had been in Laos, so guess what? 'Nam ho! Oh- and also that Lawrence should never tell any of this to anyone, ever.
So up to this point, I thought Lawrence's was a pretty glamorous anecdote. Though there's no shortage of illegal United States operations in other nations, from our meddling in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War up through Operation Quasar Clusterfuck in Iraq, I'd never previously known anyone who'd been silenced by the military because of the naughty exercises they'd put him through. However, when he moved on to the Vietnam portion of his tale, Lawrence said, "We figured out we could fit 13 American soldiers into a helicopter, but 17 gooks would fit 'cause they're so tiny," and my admiration for Lawrence fell to the ground like a popped blowfish.
(Interesting sidebar I discovered at The Racial Slur Database: Though "gook" is popularly known as an idiotic term for Vietnamese people, it was likely coined during the Korean War. Korean civilians would approach American soldiers and say, "mi guk?"- Korean for "American?"- but our sympathetic soldiers thought they were saying, "Me gook." So not only is the word gook ignorant on the same level that all racial slurs are, but it's also ignorant in that its etymology came from a completely different culture than the one it's applied to. Kind of like how spic was originally a slur against Italians, according to The Vice Guide to Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, for the way Italian immigrants would say, "No spika da English." Racists are a clever bunch.)
Anyhow, Lawrence currently works security at a prison hospital. He told me that, some time ago, a serial killer was bedridden and restrained for some reason, and Lawrence was standing guard outside the door. A nurse, who'd just taken a look at the killer's chart, exited his room looking completely pale and terrified. She said to Lawrence, "That man in there killed six people!" She was clearly having trouble being in such close proximity to him, because serial killers frankly aren't that common in Penobscot County.
Sensitive fella that he is, Lawrence immediately told her that was nothing because he had over 200 confirmed kills in Vietnam and she started sobbing and ran away. (He was disciplined by the hospital's HR manager.)
He went on talking about how he was totally justified in teasing this poor woman with some web of rationalizations that I'm frankly not interested in, but from that point forward, all I could think was, I'm sitting next to a man who has killed over 200 people. It was an odd sensation, and my insides momentarily lurched to a halt. Not that I thought he was going to suddenly turn to me, put his hands around my throat, and whisper, "...And if I kill one more, I fill my punch card for a free fun-size Butterfinger with purchase of king-size Butterfinger" as the last words I'd ever hear, but it messed with me nonetheless.
How does one live with such a thing? Though I pride myself on being a rock-throwing liberal pacifist, I certainly don't blame Lawrence for doing what his commanding officer told him to do, regardless of what his personal feelings are now or may have been at the time. I myself don't really draw a distinction between war and murder, because I naively believe that there are non-violent solutions to any conflict, but I can't blame individual soldiers for doing their job and fighting for a cause they've been conditioned to believe is just. As Ben once said to me, "I've slowly come to the (temporary?) conclusion that soldiers, most of the time, are just human actors carrying out the policies of a country. So why not blame the policymakers? Who else is there?"
But still, directly killing over 200 people? People who, just like you, were only following orders? I don't get it. I have no reductive "insight" to provide here the way I usually do, because I'm utterly befuddled. I remember seeing the odd, faraway, regretful look in my grandpa's eyes when he admitted to Jen and me that he'd killed a sleeping German soldier during WWII- he certainly wasn't bragging, but also wasn't entirely apologetic, and the unspoken implication was that he'd done a regrettable thing that needed to be done to prevent a larger evil, and he still had to remind himself of that. I totally believe that taking one life, even for what may be a just cause, would fuck you up forever if you have a soul. So how can you keep doing it until you're well into the triple digits? I just simply don't get it. How can Lawrence continue to function?
Just an observation phrased as a rhetorical question. Nothing to see here, folks. Unless you have thoughts on the subject. It disturbed me, is all.
I've had "Weird Al" Yankovic's El DeBarge parody "Here's Johnny" stuck in my head for the past week, and it's getting old.
COSMICBEN ADDS A COUNTERPOINT: Well-written, as always. But -- and obviously, I have no way of knowing this, and you know the man, and I don't -- I don't trust "Lawrence" at all.
You linked to my book review page; check out my review of Stolen Valor by B.G. Burkett and Glenna Whitley. The gist of the book is that guys like Lawrence are, almost to a person, full of shit.
Again, I honestly don't know for sure about this guy, but the two red flags for me are 1) His "secret" actions in Laos, and 2) His supposed 200 kills.
According to Burkett, a Vietnam vet himself, fake veterans and glory-seekers usually say things exactly like that. They wear the faded special forces patches, complain that their most fascinating and bloody operations were never officially admitted by the government, and that they slaughtered babies by the hundreds because the government turned them into unfeeling killers and now won't give them their 100% PTSD benefits.
The coolest stories are always set in Laos or Cambodia because this is an easy way to account for the fact that they never actually happened and are therefore absent from official military records. If I remember correctly, a real record would at least mention the mission but note that the location and details are classified. Something would be there.
Two hundred kills is also plenty suspicious. It would take a loooong time to kill that many people. The best Marine sniper in Vietnam killed about a hundred people. I don't doubt that plenty of bomber pilots reached that number, but -- and again, this could show my true ignorance of the realities of the war -- it seems completely far-fetched that a ground soldier could ever reach 200.
These guys then suck millions of dollars out of the VA, sometimes without having a legitimate combat or even military record. They excuse laziness and abusive behavior and contribute to the nation notion that Vietnam vets are drugged-out homeless leeches.
Sounds like a kook to me, and kind of a jerk.

Arizona's Rim Country and high desert areas have a variety of predators ranging from coyotes, gray foxes to bobcats. Predator hunting during the off-season or in between the hunts. Guiding big game hunters is one of our favorite past-times. It is also a good management tool for controlling the predator population in our hunting areas. We offer guided hunts involving an electronic caller. Coyotes and foxes mostly fall victim to the call, but occasionally, a bobcat may stalk-in to check out the noise. Be prepared for some excitement and fast shooting when any of these varmints come charging in! Also as a bonus, some hunters can't resist taking a few monster jackrabbits. Maybe you might be the lucky one to find that mystical critter called the jackalope!!!

CAUTION: These coyote hunts are INTENSE! Grab your light-weight rifle, bullets, and camo and let's go! 1 on 1 guided service with daytime calling and ambush style shooting. Whether charging in or sneaking up behind you, get ready! Coyotes will growl, bark, hiss, or whine when they catch you off guard, often times coming within a few feet!

Via UK Media Watch:
Last Tuesday (9 February) the Daily Telegraph published an article about the role played by Elliott Management hedge fund, and its founder and President Paul Singer, in ongoing negotiations over debt relief for Argentina. The article was changed following a complaint by CST about its use of antisemitic cultural references from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice.
The article, written by Daily Telegraph assistant editor Jeremy Warner, was critical of Singer for refusing to join other creditors in accepting a deal on debt relief, arguing that "His case for more may be legally watertight, but it is also morally indefensible."
In its original version, the article opened with this sentence:
"Latter day Shylocks at Elliott Management allowing, Argentina will soon have renewed access to international capital markets."
Warner returned to this theme near the end of the article, writing:
"Debt restructuring provides a fourth option, yet as both Argentina and Greece have discovered, the trouble with borrowed money is that adjusting its value takes difficult negotiation, frequently obstructed by aggressively litigious hedgies such as Mr Singer demanding their pound of flesh."

Keeping your back straight, brace your core and lean back at a 45-degree angle. From that position, slowly twist your torso to the right, as if you were trying to touch the floor with your right elbow. Pause, then rotate your torso to the left, keeping your elbows wide and imagining that you're reaching your left elbow toward the floor. That's one rep. Continue rotating at a slow and steady pace for one minute.

Samsung "Turtle Glass" might be Gorilla Glass replacement
Samsung has already showed how much it likes to do things on its own, from its own platform like Tizen OS, to its own semiconductors like Exynos. Of course, it already makes its own displays, which have earned quite the reputation in the industry. But one piece of that is still not it own, the protective glass that shields displays from the frightening events of every day life. That, however, might soon change if these rumors of a certain "Turtle Glass" from Samsung rings true.

- Email: email@example.com
Ajo's real estate career began over eleven years ago in property management at AKAM Living Services, a Manhattan-based real estate services firm with a portfolio of over 180 residential and commercial properties under management. This experience provided Ajo with valuable working knowledge of residential and commercial building operations and financial management, as well as, tenant and lease management. During this time, Ajo also played a critical role in the placement of local and national office, retail, and light industrial tenants within the company's property management portfolio.
In 2011, Ajo was tapped to lead and grow the firm's commercial, educational, and industrial property management and leasing entity which successfully grew to over 1,000,000 square feet of managed properties under his leadership. In this capacity, Ajo designed the operational platform of the firm and implemented strategies and procedures to foster the growth of the firm's brand, venture into new markets and property types, establish internal operational procedures, ensure the delivery of superior client and tenant service, and ultimately increase the firm's revenues.
In 2017, Ajo and his family relocated to Pennsylvania to be closer to family, and where he has been actively involved in real estate investments for the past ten years. Ajo is able to leverage his real estate experience to guide his clients through the various factors involved in residential and commercial real estate transactions.

Neroli Blossom Infused Jojoba Wax
Our neroli blossom infused jojoba oil is made from the flower blossoms of Egypt's bitter orange tree. Our South African distiller infuses the neroli blossoms into the jojoba using a special absorbance process that uses very low heat. The process results in a silky, nourishing jojoba oil that has the beautiful, gently floral and citrus aroma of the neroli blossom. The neroli blossom's aroma is very soothing and calming to the nervous system. It can act as an antidepressant and can be helpful in reducing anxiety.
Benefits and uses
Jojoba oil is a liquid wax that closely resembles our skin's sebum—the oily secretions our skin produces to protect itself. It contains powerful antioxidants, moisturizes deeply, and is excellent for both skin and hair. With this fantastic infusion, you get all the moisturizing and healing benefits of the jojoba as well as the soothing and calming therapeutic benefits of neroli blossoms.
Jojoba is the most favored of our carrier oils due to its molecular stability. It does not go rancid so it may be useful for extending the shelf life of other carriers and blends. Our neroli infused jojoba oil is not only fantastic as a carrier, but it also makes a great massage oil and can even be used to make your own natural perfumes. Go ahead and try this excellent infused oil, you deserve it!

My daughter, Leigh, had to make a Peruvian Quinoa recipe for her advanced Spanish 2 class, which gave her and I the chance to come up with a new quinoa recipe. We experimented with many recipes, but we loved this Vegetarian Quinoa. Luckily, for me, my three kids love quinoa, and it's a fabulous ingredient because it's gluten free, rich in protein, contains all 9 of the essential amino acids and so much more. Quinoa is high in iron which helps our red blood cells stay healthy, high in lysene, essential for our tissues growth and repair. This superfood is also high in Riboflavin (B2) which is super important for our brain health and improves our energy and metabolism. It also has twice as much fiber as other grains. Need I say more? Enjoy this for lunch as a side dish or afternoon snack. I spooned it over fresh arugula with some crumbled feta cheese, and it was a great, healthy lunch. Here's to a great and healthy week ahead!

How to be Smart With Your Time
Duncan Bannatyne's latest book, How to be Smart With Your Time, is a rare and unique insight into the mind of a successful entrepreneur. This isn't really a time management book - there are already too many of those around, with their tired theories - this is a book about what to DO with your time. It's a book that will make you more productive. It's so easy to make yourself busy, but the real key to success, in this book, is to be busy doing something that is in line with your highest goals. Every small achievement is a step towards something much more important.
In my TV series, Speed Up Slow Down, I helped people to get their lives organised by managing their time and priorities more effectively, and I think that Duncan's guidance can make a big difference for people in all walks of life.
While many entrepreneurs have written 'self help' books, sharing their theories of success, Duncan's is the only one I've come across that I can really put into practice.

If you told me a year ago I'd be attending the next Xbox E3 Briefing, I would not have believed you. Yet there I was with the Xbox green glow of the stage washing over me, only moments away from the very first announcements of 2016. I knew I couldn't have asked for a better year to be here with the reveal of the Xbox One S right out of the gates. My excitement only built from there with a stack of new games, new controllers, and the cherry on top, Scorpio!
My favorite highlight, without question, was "Sea of Thieves." I have always loved the allure of sailing the high seas, and the odd appeal of looting and plundering for riches and rum. It was hilarious watching that crew learn to pilot their new ship, especially when they discovered they were slowly sinking after their first combat at sea. I was fortunate enough to take the helm later that evening at the Xbox Showcase, and it was everything I'd hoped for and more! We set sail for adventure, and quickly found it, as another crew was already closing in on us ready to send us down to Davy Jones' Locker. "Hard to starboard, fire the port cannons! We're taking on water boys!" Working together as best we could, we fought valiantly eventually dooming our enemies, but were ambushed by a third ship and soon found ourselves headed to the deep. As we sank, I stood on the bow playing a fateful tune on my accordion. Without question, I will be picking up "Sea of Thieves" as soon as it's out. I cannot wait to put together a crew and start my new career as a scallywag of the Caribbean!
Day One on the E3 show floor was just as exciting as the Showcase the night before. I made a bee-line for the Xbox booth to get my hands on some of the other new titles, and of course, start collecting that precious E3 swag! "Forza Horizon 3" was another title I was very excited to play, as I've been a big fan of the first two in the series. I got the full experience of a trek in the Outback driving in a full simulation racing chair, feeling every bump and jostle as I raced a Willys Jeep, suspended by helicopter, through the bush. My skills behind the wheel paid off, as I crossed the line in 1st – earning an awesome FH3 shirt! Among the many other games to demo, some of my favorite experiences so far have been an epic six player match of "Halo Wars 2" (which is available in beta now!), Recore's unique color-coded weapon's gameplay and adorable robotic companions, and roasting pilots in their cockpits with one of the six new Titans coming in "Titanfall 2."
Trying out the latest games isn't the only great thing about E3: I've had the pleasure of running into several Xbox Ambassadors on the show floor! It's been awesome getting to hear all the great experiences of helping other gamers and connecting with our awesome community. Also, a big thank you to everyone who came out for the Ambassador Meet-up Tuesday night. I can't wait to have more events and meetups at future shows!
Pictured above: Mister Discord ran into two Ambassadors waiting in line for "Recore."
There's so much more for me yet to see, so back to it for another day of this amazing show! Be sure to follow me on Twitter, @Mister_Discord, for the latest in my adventures here at E3 2016.

Tableau Training and Certification
- 24k Enrolled Learners
- Weekend/Weekday
- Live Class
The Tableau Certification of Desktop Qualified Exam is much sought after by visual analytics enthusiasts. It is a valuable certification to boost career opportunities and present to the world, your expert competency in the area.
Most candidates who have taken the exams successfully suggest serious study for 10-14 days before the exam, at a rate of 2 hours per day. Interestingly, the level of ease or toughness one feels about the exam varies widely from candidate to candidate. While a few clear the exam in the first attempt itself, there are a large number who need a couple or more chances in spite of spending around 2 years working with Tableau tools. The exam simply aims to test a candidate's familiarity with Tableau.
Here's a quick fire guide to prepare for the exam with ease:
The first step to cracking the exam is to answer the 14 sample questions on the Tableau official preparation guide (Link) in order to measure your Tableau skills. These skills are divided into:
– Advanced level
if you can answer all questions correctly within 30 minutes,
– Medium level
if you can answer all questions correctly within 1 hour,
– Beginner level
if you can answer fewer than 10 out of 14 questions correctly.
If you are a beginner-level candidate, you are strongly recommended to download the Tableau On-Demand videos (Link) first and go through the sample workbooks on Tableau Desktop before getting in depth into complex customized calculations. However, if you are an advanced level candidate, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with the new features of Tableau Desktop 9 before taking the exam as Desktop 9 provides quite a lot of innovative new features that allow complex calculations.
After the skills level is determined, it makes sense for you to make a plan that will help you enhance the knowledge of Tableau. Ideally, a candidate with medium level skills in Tableau should be familiar with connecting and sorting the data, and creating simple calculation fields. With only resources available on the Tableau site, you can make an exhaustive study plan:
You can start with building the visualization by referring to this video. To ensure you have no gaps in learning, you should ideally build the visualization again one day before your exam, this time without referring to the methods mentioned in the video.
On D-Day, it is strongly recommended for candidates who the use Mac version of Tableau to practice building dashboards on Windows as the virtual machine for the exam is Windows. The other key is to expose yourself to the real environment of the exam.
Edureka has a specially curated course on Tableau which covers various concepts of data visualization in depth, including conditional formatting, scripting, linking charts, dashboard integration, Tableau integration with R and more. New batches are starting soon. Enrol now
This blog is a modified version of the blog "How to Prepare for Tableau Desktop 9 Qualified Associate Exam" by Eva Y Feng.

Research projects, from the planning, completion, presentation to eventual publication in a reputable medical journal are often a requirement for graduation, acceptance, promotion and tenure, and as such are the goals of many students, educators and workers in the healthcare educational industrial complex.
Ideally it is a process that benefits everyone involved, from the aspiring student with a goal of getting into medical school or a highly rated residency of choice, to the senior author who is supervising the process (expected to, at least), before adding their name to the author list which helps their road to publication and before adding the article to their CV.
Unfortunately, life is not always ideal and the junior is not sufficiently funded, supported, advised or supervised, and the project fails or falls below the publisher's standards of publication.
The current number of the ANZ Journal of Surgery from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (Volume 88, Numbers 1/2, January/February 2018) has four articles discussing the obstacles to publication for even those completed projects presented at a major surgical conference.
The first[1]is an editorial discussing these general problems and asks whether it should be mandatory for every surgical trainee to publish.
Comments on the low publication rate of successfully presented papers and successful publication may take two to three years, suggesting there is a general lack of diversity in academic research and bias amongst reviewers, publishers and libraries that slows the process to publication.
The second[2]is another editorial and discusses the problems associated with "Predatory Journals" in the open access internet system of journals designed to provide freer access and opportunities for underfunded investigators, mainly in Asian and African institutions. The system offers a quicker path to publication, but the 'Predatory' variety may ask for fees to help funding the process and publication costs. Unfortunately, this quicker process can be associated with a weaker quicker review process and reports of investigators and authors finding their work published without their full knowledge or agreement.
The third[3]is an example of these problems and the need for a 'Publisher's Note' to explain how it had been published elsewhere without the author's consent.
Some academics claim to have been tricked into publishing in this system.
The fourth [4]discusses the predictive factors for publication of abstracts.
[5]There is an interesting article from the New York Times[6]discussing the general problems and whether academics are willing participants in these so called "Predatory Journals."
The old adage "Publish or perish" perhaps should be changed to "Publish wisely, carefully and with great patience."

Is this anime good?
It's Crest of the Stars for casuals.
You'll love it.
I don't know, is it?
>Crest of the Star
Is this worth prioritizing over Patlabor?
Yes. Also concerning Patlabor. The series is a different timeline from the OVA. The film are compatible with both.
I dislike the series, and the film are among my all time favorites. Fyi.
Depends what you consider to be good.
If you're a history buff, this show will piss you off. If you're a military buff, this show will piss you off in the beginning. If you're a sci fi geek who prioritize the creativity of technology in sci fi works (most of sci fi geeks are like that), you won't like the show.
If you've been watching anime for some time and want to watch a show without expecting too much, this anime is good.
Why don't you watch it and form your own opinion?
It's my second favourite anime after sword art online. It is simply epic you gotta watch it.
Pretty nice but I don't understand why all imperial nobles have german origins (name etc..).
Is it the source material any good? Loved the series but dunno if it's worth going any deeper.
its shit
It's like Boku no Pico in space.
It was explained in the history documentary arc.
Original kaiser whose name I forget was basically Hitler 2: sci-fi boogaloo
Rudolf Goldenbaum
He actually bore much similarity to reinhard initially
i thought /a/ liked this shit?
/a/ isn't one person.
I thought this is one of "post the opposite opinion" threads.
>Space gets colonised
>Becomes shit
>Space gets taken over by a Kraut
>Puts all other Krauts in power/nobility
>Non-krauts are treated as scum
>Proceed to flee
>Create the FPA
>Hence why the FPA has a large mix of names and ethnicities
Ignoring shit posting general for a moment, I've got this downloaded, but I remember hearing there was a movie that did the first 2 episodes? How exactly should I start watching this series? (seems simple past the start, but not sure which version is best to start from)
Lately every LOGH thread is flooded by shitpost.
I love it, it should be watched as an epic story about two sides: the corrupt democracy (and his late attempt to claim it) against the righteous autocracy, with tons of very well developed characters, situations and classical mainstream literature references. 10/10 would watch once every year.
Watch the original series.
Then watch everything else if you fancy it, including the Musical with an all girl cast.
Gaiden is pretty good though.
The film is alright, no need to watch it though.
/a/ likes it in a memetic way, like with Jojo and HxH.
first watch "mi conquest is the sea of stars", then "overture to a new war".
Then you should start the main 110 ep. ova, skiping the first 2 episodes because Overture to a New War is a remade of the first 2 chapters.
Theres 50 chapters of precuels, but are not that goos as the main OVA.
Seems easy. Thanks. Given that I'd seen both the movie and just the straight episodes throw around as starting points, I wanted to make sure I wasn't losing out by just downloading the series and going in order.
And then there's this. >>123033052
So two movies, then episodes from 2 onwards?
The majority who watched the show liked it, some even loved it. Some people are just contrarian.
I think the first movie did episodes 1 and 2,and the second movie did episodes 3 and 4
It fleshes out a few characters a bit more,so I'd say it's worthwhile watching
Also,it looks damn good
Bullshit, I'm a history and military buff and I enjoy the shit out of this show. I don't expect a goddamn accurate military and history simulator when I watch this, I went in expecting a space opera and that's what I got.
It inspired the greatest anime ever :k-on. So yes.
I'd rather say: if you're a history and a military buff you're going to enjoy the hell out of it. Most people who criticise it from that point of view usually don't really know what they're talking about. It's kinda like people who say things like "I'd rather read a book" are usually the types of people who really don't read a lot of books and are generally more on the uneducated side.
Watch it and find out.
Personally I really enjoyed this series, the story has enough characters and substance to feel like a real television series drama, but in anime form. The pace moves along a bit slowly but just fast enough to let you relax and enjoy each episode individually.
Is MAL even real
Literally dueling gary stus: the anime.
So true xD upboated.
Reading wikipedia articles about history and military does not make you knowledgeable or a student of the subject. Don't kid yourself.
The majority of people who watched Naruto also liked it. Your point?
It's the closest thing anime has to Ravages so yeah.
/a/ likes Naruto so your argument is obsolete.
I really wanna get into this series, but something that not even google has really answered for me is why one shouldn't watch it in chronological order. I'd like to know why I shouldn't before I dive right in. I have every part of it sitting in my hard drive, but I'm still hesitant on where to start.
So, chronological order? Release order? Why or why not? I'm fine with either choice.

Washington Post: According to the latest YouGov.com poll, "even on an issue such as Obamacare, Republicans are not all that excited about the court upsetting a legislative action, even one with which they disagree: 'Americans tend to oppose (40%) rather than support (26%) the lower court's ruling that subsidies cannot be provided, but 34% are not sure either way, and only 33% of Americans actually say that they have been following the news of the threat to federal exchange subsidies. Most Democrats (54%) oppose the ruling to end these subsidies, while independents tend to oppose (38%) rather than support (24%) ending them. 38% of Republicans support this ruling, but 37% aren't sure and 24% oppose the ruling.'"
"That is a remarkably low number of Republicans who support a court order dumping the federal exchange subsidies. Republicans would be wise not to engage in too much chest-beating over court evisceration of Obamacare, and to rather take this as an opportunity to assure Americans who have relied on the exchanges that they will not be left in the lurch. Moreover, they'd be smart to advance their own, conservative alternatives to Obamacare."

Jaguars (-3) Vs. Bills:
At the beginning of the year, this line is probably close to double digits. The Jaguars have not really been injured. They basically returned every single key player that they had last year. This team was ten minutes away from going to the Super Bowl. This Jaguars team was never really that good in my opinion because of their holes. This Jags defense has this same problem that a lot of dominant defenses. They get a little arrogant and the good coaches show the solution. We saw the 49ers show off what you need to do and now teams are starting to copy them. The Jags are elite against 11 personnel and average against everything else. They want to play a pretty standard game.
The Bills don't really have anyone that can burn the Jags in any formation this week and I really don't know how they will move the ball. I want a good coach, mobile QB, or receiving threat out of the backfield or the TE to really beat the Jags, and I do not see it here. Give me the Jags in a bad football game to watch that is wrapped up pretty early.
Browns (+3) Vs. Bengals:
The Browns offense has been much better in their last 2 games under Freddie Kitchen. I think they are doing everything they can to make Baker Mayfield feel comfortable and let him shine, which he has recently. The Bengals defense has gotten THRASHED recently and I don't know why that would stop here. The Browns have 2 NFL quality starters at the RB position, a top end receiver in Jarvis Landry, a potential star talent in David Njoku at TE, and the number one pick at QB. This offense is talented and a good coaching staff would likely have this offense rolling. Maybe this coaching change is what they needed and I will bank on that vs. this Bengals defense. The other big thing here is that the Browns are coming off of a bye and should be much healthier. The Brown have played way more snaps than any other team this game and it clearly started to wear on them. They should be much fresher this week and I love them here even outright.
Giants (+6) Vs. Eagles:
I have been hating on the Eagles since the middle of last year and I am not stopping now. The Eagles were just never that good. Yes, they won the Super Bowl. The matchups were perfect, the situations couldn't have been better and they were extremely motivated. Now, this team looks like I thought they were the whole time. The secondary is horrible. The offensive talent is subpar. I can't give this team 6 points vs. basically any team with talent. Odell Beckham and Saquon Barkley are the 2 most talented players on that field and I can't hel but take the best players and 6 points. The Giants are not good, but neither are the Eagles and that is starting to shine. Again, sometimes it takes a team or 2 to show the way of how to beat a team and the Eagles have been exploited multiple times. The Giants should be able to keep this game close and cover here.
Seahawks Vs. Panthers (-3.5):
The Panthers are the better team, only giving up 3.5 points while the Seahawks are coming across the country for a 1:00 PM EST start. The Seahawks have relied on home field for a long time and really struggled on the road. The Panthers are a team that has also been much better at home. I think that the Panthers make a statement and show that they're for real after that blunder last week. Christian McCaffrey is too explosive for the Seattle defense and he will be the difference maker here. The Panthers' LBing group is also really capable of containing Russell Wilson.

When it comes to event catering, you should consider all of the components for success.
Goode Company has perfected the art of mesquite-smoked barbeque and is an integral part of Houston's BBQ history. For 38 years, we've been handcrafting complete meals using our family's traditional recipes. In fact, our signature jalapeño cheese bread and pecan pie are in such demand that we ship them to homesick Texans (and other barbeque connoisseurs) all over the nation.
Goode Company Catering has decades of experience in planning and executing events for groups of every size. We're known for our Southern hospitality and attention to detail.
Book with Goode Company Catering, then sit back, relax and enjoy your event—and wait for the inevitable rave reviews from your guests.
You can't have a Texas barbeque meal without including brisket—and ours is slow-smoked over mesquite. But that's just the beginning. Pile on some juicy turkey breast, succulent pork ribs, smoked ham, spicy pork, and smoked chicken. If you want to offer something unique, give our smoked sweet water duck a try. It's juicy, crispy and rich.
Goode Company's butchers also handcraft a variety of sausages. There's the original recipe Czech-style links, jalapeño pork for spice lovers, and turkey sausage for the poultry eaters.
Our standard catering includes setup, servers to serve your guests buffet-style, and cleanup. Setup includes tables and linens for the buffet line; as well as all of our equipment needed to keep the Goodes fresh. We always provide a block man to slice our smoked meats as guests roll through our lines. After all your guests have been served, we cleanup our serving area and leave as if we were never there. We also offer passed appetizers, bar service and dessert stations.
Our food deliveries provide the same quality of food, delivered to your door. While disposable ware and serving utensils are supplied, staff servers are not included with delivery. Feel free to help yourself! Self-service is perfect for smaller groups and events such as birthday parties, tailgating celebrations or family reunions. Full-service catering is great for larger events such as weddings, corporate lunches and holiday parties.
"I wanted to take the time to say how impressed we were with the service this past Sunday at our baby shower. The food, the staff, and everything was beyond our expectations. We will definitely keep going back to Goode Catering and recommend it to our many friends and family for their future events."
"Just wanted to let you know that the food was a great success! Your team was so professional and the setup was perfect. They took care of everything; it was effortless on our parts—great job!"
"You all did a great job. The food was outstanding (as expected) and the service was very nice. We look forward to working with you again at a future event!"

Cannabis-infused foods are now popping up all over the country, and this has become a growing concern for some parents. Hemp is the non-psychoactive component of cannabis that is safe for everyone to consume since it will not get you high. Because of this, hemp was made legal to grow and consume.
However, since the concept of eating something that's derived from cannabis is still new, a lot of people are still dubious about it, especially parents who would never want to expose their kids to substances that are deemed dangerous and illegal.
Parents Are Doubtful of the Safety of Cannabis
In a recent survey conducted with 1,000 parents, three-quarters of the respondents admitted that they are not entirely sure if the hemp-infused products are safe for their kids to consume, despite the fact that it's made from the non-psychoactive component of cannabis. The reason behind this has something to do with hemp's association with marijuana, which contains the psychoactive component of cannabis, responsible for making one high.
It was in 2002 that the FSANZ or Food Standards Australia and New Zealand found that hemp, which is the non-psychoactive variety of cannabis, is safe and suitable for everyone to consume. Because of this finding, hemp was declared legal for consumption in Australia.
Hemp Legalization around the World
Hemp's gradual legalization around the world has made it one of the most sought after natural resources in the world. In fact, experts predict that the hemp industry is set to become a multi-billion dollar industry by 2020.
Hemp is sustainable and comes with a diverse range of uses. Aside from being used as an ingredient on some food supplements, it's also used in producing materials for clothing, car interiors, soil regeneration, beauty products, paper, and more. Above all, the plant is very cost-effective to cultivate. Perhaps, the biggest benefit of hemp lies in the fact that it comes with many amazing health benefits. It's loaded with Omega 3, which is an essential fat that the body isn't able to produce. What's more, hemp is high in fiber and low in carbs.
Should Parents Embrace Hemp?
With the many benefits that come with using hemp, many believe that it's already about time that parents start accepting hemp foods.
For some parents, however, they would never consider feeding hemp to their kids. However, upon learning about its many benefits, their perspective on the product has changed. Others have resorted to the Internet to research about it and were surprised when they found out that it was indeed great for kids. Yet, there are still many ill-informed parents who are not open to the idea of feeding their kids something that's derived from cannabis.
Hopefully, all parents will start to embrace hemp products soon and will start feeding their kids with these superfoods. As a matter of fact, hemp is good for babies, too! Some companies are now manufacturing hemp-infused baby foods and yogurt that the toddlers can eat.
