CakePHP uses the Prototype Javascript library for its ajax helper class but I've come to prefer jQuery. Prototype is a fine library too but I've just gotten used to jQuery.
A web application I'm working on needed a ttw html editor so I grabbed TinyMCE and copied in some of the example code and everything seemed to work fine at first glance. Unfortunately TinyMCE has an issue with jQuery's $(document).ready function and it also has an issue with saving via ajax in CakePHP.
There's a helpful page on the Bakery that outlines some issues you'll run into trying to get CakePHP & Prototype working with TinyMCE but it's a little out of date now (I'm using CakePHP 1.2RC1, TinyMCE 3.09 and jQuery 1.2.6 at the moment). I'll go through examples that illustrate how I solved the two problems I ran in to but I'm not going to explain everything you need to do ajax submissions with CakePHP.
CakePHP is a really nice MVC framework I've been using for a project I'm working on. I've been using one of the 1.2 betas for what seems like forever but I just now saw they've got a Release Candidate out as of a couple days ago. The MVC pattern fits a whole lot of applications or acts as glue for a lot of web apps where the main goals don't fit MVC. I find that CakePHP is fantastic for getting a lot of the monotonous code out of your way so you can focus your efforts on the important stuff.
I've always thought growing grass was a terrible idea. As a kid I was pretty practical and I didn't see any benefit to having a green lawn full. I was also pretty well aware of the amount of effort required to maintain the lawn at home growing up since the mower was often my job. I hated mowing it and my parents weren't even really big lawn freaks. We had weeds and dandelions and bare patches. I always marveled at the crazy amount of time and effort our neighbours across the street wasted on keeping their yard green and presentable.
Now I've grown up and I feel pretty much the same way. It might not make my neighbours happy but at least I didn't follow through with my plan to pave it and paint it green. As a child I assumed the problem was that people wanted a large green square in front of their homes and concrete seemed to be a very practical solution to that problem.
Getting together a good development environment for PHP websites isn't that hard any more. On a Windows machine, I recommend a pretty simple approach. Install Xampp, install Eclipse PDT, install XDebug. For bonus points set up Subversion and get TortiseSVN (or, I guess, whatever other version control works for you).
I'll give a quick rundown here on how I set up a development environment on a Windows machine, I tested it as I was writing it and I don't think it took but 2 hours.
The SVG Open is shaping up fast. The call for papers has been out there for a while now but if you're quick you can still present a paper or run a workshop but the deadline to submit for papers and courses is April 18 and that'll be here before you know it. The SVG Open is the conference for people doing SVG.
Google I/O looks like it's right up my alley. I was surprised to see Steve Souders is presenting there. He's the author of YSlow and Yahoo! was printing his 14 tips for speeding up website front-end performance on cards for Blogher last year (under the unusual title of "How to be a Better Binary Babe"). I have used YSlow to improve my own sites' performance though I definitely don't get an A on all of them yet. I'd love to hear what else he has to say on the subject.
On Pavlov.net talking about some improvements in memory handling on Firefox 3:
It isn't reasonable to expect all those authors to write code to manually break the cycles themselves.
This reminded me immediately of an MSDN article that took a decidedly different stance on pretty much the same problem in Internet Explorer:
Here's a quick tip for PHP error reporting and display in development.
When a project is in the early stages of development you want to see all the error information you can. You probably want E_STRICT on especially when you're starting from scratch, to help avoid relying on deprecated behaviour. The E_STRICT flag is only available as of PHP 5 and is not included in E_ALL until PHP 5.2 (there's a little disagreement on php.net between the definition of E_ALL in this table and the earlier note about error_reporting on the same page).
In an early development project you also don't want to have to keep tailing log files to see the error messages. That's a pretty sure way to miss errors. So you want to set the display_errors flag on. You also want to control this on a per-project basis, since some projects will have legacy bugs that you're not fixing right now and those can be left spouting errors to logs until someday in the future when you decide to fix them.
Not all time is created equal. I've started getting up a lot earlier lately and I've found that for me the hours from 6 am to about 10:30 can be really productive. I have a pretty easy time getting focused and if I can get myself in front of a project then I really take off and get things done. Compare that to the early afternoon from, say, 1 until 3 pm and the afternoon version of me seems to be asleep by comparison. I'm unfocused and mentally wander around looking for shiny objects.
Usually I have to get on a plane to get to really talk to anyone else that blogs. We won't make it out to Vancouver for Northern Voice this year, but we did go last February. Then there was BlogHer in Chicago last year and San Jose the year before. Come to think of it I've been doing this blogging thing for a few years now. I've never really considered myself a typical blogger though.

Unfortunately, we do not live in a vacuum. The lottery affects everyone,whether they choose to participate or not. A government-sponsored lottery is a public policy that creates addicts. When it comes to severity, America's gambling addiction isn't too far behind the nation's drug problem, and it's growing. Due to our poor economy, officials in a majority of states have pushed for new or expanded gambling in order to bring in more revenue. These states have gotten addicted to gambling as a cure for their mismanaged local economies. To deal with unprecedented budget gaps legislators tout gambling as a painless source of revenue instead of making tough budget cuts. These government officials know they creating a gambling addiction because most states use some of the gambling revenues to fund programs to prevent and treat gambling addiction (i.e., they are essentially admitting that they know they are creating some gamblers who become addicts.) Is this appropriate policy? I don't think so.
Forty-three states sponsor heavily promoted lotteries and, admittedly, there is some job creation and economic stimulus in these states. But do the benefits really outweigh the costs? What's touted as good for the economy is bad for society, and gambling addiction carries a huge price tag. When the addiction rate increases, so does the cost to society, Bankruptcies, burglaries and other crimes, spouse abuse, child neglect and abuse, foreclosures and even suicide. The impact of gambling addiction is wide and deep. I used to live in Gulfport, MS, I know of what I speak. Baylor University professor Earl Grinols estimates that addicted gamblers cost the U.S. between $32.4 billion and $53.8 billion a year -- about $274 per adult annually. Money spent on gambling could be used to bolster Americans' meager retirement accounts, pay for children's college educations, or shore up emergency savings. Simply spending it in a transaction that is win-win rather than win-lose is always the best alternative and consistent with the principles of capitalism that founds our nation, Yes, some people can and do gamble responsibly, and the issue of whether they be denied that outlet to protect those who can't is a difficult question -- and similar to arguments regarding the legality of drugs. While there may be valid arguments against the government intervening to protect autonomous adults from themselves, even stronger arguments can be made that policy makers should not actively support and encourage dysfunctional behaviors. It is a problem when government agencies specifically set up gambling facilities and lotteries purely for profit. It is even more of a problem when these states hire advertising agencies who promote government-sponsored gambling, and who very consciously and intentionally create advertisements that entice people and encourage gambling with promotions that advertise the joy of winning the lottery, when the odds are so microscopic than anyone seeing the ad will ever have that experience.
Your use of state taxes is a straw man. Personally, I do not think essentials should be taxed (i.e., many states do not tax groceries). But do you refuse to fight for any cause because you can't fight for all of them? The state tax is already here and has been for years. The lottery is not in Alabama yet, and if it is ever allowed, will probably never be reversed. So it is reasonable for opponents of the lottery, like me, to argue hard to keep it out.
Finally, to say that morality cannot be legislated shows a misunderstanding of what laws really are. All laws declare one behavior right and one behavior wrong, which is the very definition of morality. When you say morality cannot be legislated, you probably mean that legislation cannot change hearts. This is true, but changing hearts is not the purpose of laws. Regardless of one's personal convictions, laws encourage a certain behavior by citizens. Legislation cannot be divorced from morality. All laws mandate morality. The question is not then can we legislate morality, but whose morality do we legislate? Just as agnosticism and atheism are religions in their own right, your "amoral" position is in fact a statement of the "moral" beliefs which you desire to impose on me and the rest of society.
I end as I started ... unfortunately, we do not live in a vacuum.

Four consumer electronics companies have launched an effort to establish a standard for protecting video and music played on multiple devices.
Members of the Marlin Joint Development Association include Intertrust Technologies, a developer of digital rights management technologies; and consumer electronics makers Matsushita, owner of the Panasonic brand; Royal Philips Electronics, Samsung Electronics and Sony.
The companies have developed a set of specifications, called Marlin JDA, which would enable consumer electronics companies to build core DRM functions into their devices, the report said. Using the technologies, CE companies could build interoperability for any Marlin-supported content.
Marlin will give people the ingredients to make a DRM system with a common platform, Dave Maher, chief technology officer for Intertrust said. At the core is a set of rights objects that have a form expressed in extensible markup language (XML) that all devices can interpret and react to in a consistent fashion.
Marlin JDA alone does not guarantee across-the-board interoperability. The CE manufacturer would decide on the conditions for playing content. For example, a service provider for video-on-demand could offer Marlin-supported content that expires in four days. CE makers with hardware supporting content with expiration dates could use Marlin as the DRM system. Other companies that also support Marlin, however, could decide not to support such content.
Despite the exceptions, proponents said Marlin JDA would be a big step toward reducing the many different DRM systems used today, which frustrate consumers looking to move content between devices. Unless DRM systems match, for example, a movie downloaded from the Internet and onto a PC wouldn't play on a digital video player.
Besides developing the DRM technology, the group has built compliancy tests to help ensure compatibility between Marlin implementations. The technology does require users to buy a license, which is available to everyone at the same rate, Talal Shamoon, chief executive for Intertrust, said.
To become an industry standard, however, Marlin JDA would have to be adopted by service providers, as well as consumer electronics manufacturers. Service providers license content under an agreement for copyright protection. Therefore, the service provider and the content owner would have to agree to use Marlin JDA.

It's not the contact with the face that's in question, LeBron clearly jumps back as he walks back. That's a flop, plain and simple. He comes out with the fact "he doesn't flop and doesn't know how to" Really? I can believe he doesn't know how to because his flops are so embarrassing to watch, but to say he doesn't do it? Not remember the time you winked at the camera after doing it Bron? I wish this guy would start getting fined for his acting, any other player gets fined so why not him.. oh yeah, he's untouchable in this league 8) I can't wait for the day this guy leaves the NBA, he makes it so unbearable to watch what with his arrogant ego and his suck up "fans" He seems to always come up no matter who's playing. It's extremely tiring to have him shoved down our throats at every opportunity.
Video: Heat's LeBron James takes blow to face from Bulls' Nate Robinson
Heat forward LeBron James took a blow to the face from Bulls guard Nate Robinson during Game 5 of an Eastern Conference semifinals series on Wednesday.
After some discussion among the referees, Robinson was assessed a personal foul rather than a flagrant foul on the play, and replays seemed to indicate that James embellished the degree of contact.
With a little less than seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and the Bulls leading 81-80, Robinson met James near halfcourt, intentionally fouling him to break up a transition opportunity. Robinson pushed his right hand upwards toward James' chin, and the 2013 MVP snapped his head backwards in response before eventually falling backwards to the court. The head motion seemed inconsistent with what appeared to be the minimal level of contact; exaggerated motions like this one have drawn warnings from the NBA's league office under a new anti-flopping policy introduced this season.
Back in December, for example, Hawks center Zaza Pachulia flopped backwards in an attempt to draw a foul on Wizards forward Kevin Seraphin, who swung his elbow near Pachulia's head but didn't actually make contact.
Clippers guard Chris Paul was also singled out in the league's official video introducing its flopping policy for a similar action. During that play, Paul was defending a drive before he fell backwards dramatically to the ground as if he had been struck by an elbow.
"As the highlighted defensive player, No. 3 in the red uniform, defends the driving offensive player, he feels slight contact and then launches himself back to the floor," the video's narrator explained. "This reaction by the defensive player is an over-embellishment of marginal contact and is intended to draw an unearned offensive foul on his opponent."
James' reactions to physical plays has been an issue throughout this testy series.
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau and Robinson both got in digs at James following Miami's 104-94 Game 3 victory in Chicago last Friday night. In that game, Bulls center Nazr Mohammed sent James flying across the court with a two-handed shove to the chest.
"From my angle, I just saw a guy, basically, flop," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "I'm going to leave it at that."
"You see LeBron in a lot of commercials, a lot of good acting," Robinson added, according to Yahoo! Sports.
James responded to those comments last Sunday.
"I don't need to flop," James said, according to the Associated Press. "I play an aggressive game. I don't flop. I've never been one of those guys.
"I don't want to get involved too much with what everybody else says about us, about me. It's nothing I haven't heard before in my career. It's nothing. … I'm here to play basketball and do whatever it takes for our team to win. So what a coach and players say to me and about me, I don't really care. … It's kind of the same [as when] I heard people say I was overrated. It's kind of like the same response."
Thibodeau was fined $35,000 Sunday for making an issue of the officiating following Game 3. Bulls forward Taj Gibson was fined $25,000 for verbally abusing an official during his Game 2 ejection.
James has not yet received a warning or fine this season under the NBA's new anti-flopping policy, which aims to curb the most egregious simulations and over-exaggerations.
Miami went on to defeat Chicago 94-91 to win Game 5 and close out the series 4-1. The Heat will face either the Pacers or the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals. Indiana leads New York 3-1 with Game 6 set for Madison Square Garden on Thursday.

In 1973, The U.S. Supreme Court gave women a choice. Thirty-seven years later, we're giving them a voice.
Yellow Line Studio announces the premiere of BUMP+, a web series that follows three women facing crisis pregnancies. The pilot is scheduled to launch on Friday, January 22, 2010. Thirteen episodes will follow in February and March; and the final cliffhanger is so unpredictable, even the writers and producers don't know how the series will end.
From Juno and Bella to Glee and Desperate Housewives, a woman's right to choose has been explored across the media landscape. What makes BUMP+different? We're letting the viewers decide how our characters' stories will end. We've opened the official website to comments and invited people to share their personal stories. Our team will craft the final episodes, including the ultimate decision about each pregnancy, based on audience feedback. This isn't a moral or political statement - it's an experiment to see if story can succeed where nearly four decades of angry rhetoric and political posturing have failed.
That experiment is already underway at www.bumptheshow.com. A trailer for the pilot has attracted several comments and personal stories from viewers; and theYouTube, Facebook and Twitter following is growing quickly; and as someone with a strong commitment to quality, thought provoking entertainment, we'd like to invite you and your audience to be part of it. For more information, or to schedule an interview with members of the BUMP+ creative team, please contact me personally using the email address or phone number below, or visit our website.
Watch the episodes. Share your story. Join the conversation.

We have trained one of our quakers ( Bella ) to do a new trick: Twirl! She has not fully mastered it, but she is getting the hang of it. We hold a sunflower seed and have her follow it in a circle, then we give it to her. We repeat it multiple times, and she has learned what Twirl means, but dosen't do it on her own yet. I'm still working on my cockatiel Cinna to do the trick...
New trick!

OMC welcomes deli, espresso business into Sequim building
Published on Wed, Sep 10, 2008 by
Ashley Miller
Read More
If somebody would have asked her two years ago if she would ever consider moving to Sequim and opening a deli, Regina Gibson would have said, "Where is Sequim?"
But at her newlywed husband's urging, that's exactly what she did. Regina Gibson, a chef and barista with more than 15 years experience, moved to the Olympic Peninsula from Seattle almost 10 months ago after meeting, falling in love and marrying her husband and business partner, Sean Gibson. The duo opened Re'Sean's Deli in July.
Sean Gibson works as a respiratory equipment technician at Pacific Pulmonary Services. The couple started their life together in Port Townsend but quickly grew tired of the commute to their respective jobs in Sequim and Seattle. When Sean Gibson, a Philadelphia native, mentioned an empty space for lease in the Olympic Medical Park off Fifth Avenue in Sequim, the wheels in Regina Gibson's head started turning. She submitted a business proposal to Olympic Medical Center to open a deli and espresso stand in the empty space and won the contract. She put in her two weeks notice with her night supervisor job at a Seattle deli and started packing her bags to move to Sequim. "I saw an opportunity and I went with it," she said.
The deli, located at 840 N. Fifth Ave., is open to the public from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday. Regina Gibson makes and serves sandwiches, salads, soups, bagels, muffins, espresso drinks and other snacks.
Some people say she's famous for her homemade potato, tuna and egg salads, Regina Gibson said proudly.
The walls at the deli are covered with artwork by Sallie Radock, a Sequim artist, and will change monthly.
Regina Gibson was raised by her grandparents and credits the couple for her success. "Since I was a little girl my grandpapa had me in the kitchen helping him," she remembered fondly.
To honor her Creole grandparents, share her ethnic background and treat the community, Regina Gibson is planning to offer Creole soul food - traditional southern African-American dishes - the second and fourth Friday of every month starting in September. "I really want to bring a little of my culture to
Sequim," she said, noting how the Olympic Peninsula isn't culturally diverse. "I feel it's important for people who've been around to share their cultures."
"I don't think it will be an everyday moneymaker," she continued about the bimonthly menu, "but I think it will be fun and well-received."
In the meantime, Regina Gibson said she is enjoying meeting new people, serving customers and exploring the peninsula, which she describes as a "slower paced" environment than Seattle. She's in the process of creating menus and developing price scales and noted that coffee and food is much cheaper in Sequim than Seattle, sometimes by as much as $2 to $5.
In addition to serving java junkies at OMC, Regina Gibson offers a private catering service for office parties, meetings and other group functions. She's already hosted two events within the past month and is eager to cater more functions.
Regina Gibson signed a one-year lease with OMC. Beyond that, the zesty entrepreneur doesn't know where she'll be. "We will see how this goes," she said.
Coffee and snacks at OMC
Re'Sean's Deli, located at 840 N. Fifth Ave., inside the Olympic Medical Center Medical Services building, is open 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday. The business is owned by Regina and Sean Gibson and operates independently from OMC. The couple also offers private catering for all events. For more information, call 360-821-1807 or 360-821-1896, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Corn Veggie Wraps
2 comments:
- haleystar said...
Hi there, just ran across your blog. I'm noticing that corn tortilla chips KILL my stomach whenever I eat them. Started a little over a year ago. Chips and queso used to be one of my major food groups until I started getting sever stomach cramps after eating them. I thought it was the spicy foods that were doing it. Thought I had an ulcer. But now I'm noticing it's just the corn tortilla chips. I can eat other chips like ruffles, but doritos KILL me! You seem to have the same symptoms from what I can tell. Can you tell me a little about this? If it's not an ulcer what is it? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated!

I believe corn products hurt my stomach because they are hard to digest. Corn products also make my 6 year old terribly bloated, so she doesn't really eat them either. When one of us does have a little bit of packaged food with corn in it, we take lots of digestive enzymes, and that helps. Still we avoided it for the most part.
These tortillas sound like they are processed less, which I'm guessing is why they didn't bother me. Raw corn doesn't give me any problems.
Hope that helps. I also thought I had an ulcer once, but it turned out my symptoms were due to celiac disease. I used EnteroLab.com. - December 3, 2008 at 8:16 AM

How To: Hide Your Lady-Toe With Camelflage
Camelflage panties are women's underwear with a piece of plastic (or something) sewn into the crotch that prevents the panties from forming a highly undesirable camel-toe (similar to the Cuchini). Wait -- those aren't cool anymore?! *untapes wiener from between buttcheeks* Per customer testimonial:
I am OBSESSED with my panties and will be ordering more next week. Two pairs just won't cut it with my workout schedule....I love my Camelflage!!! Thanks to you, the guys at the gym were staring at the games on TV and not at my crotch!!!! Also, it protects the lady parts on the bike seat.
Whoa whoa whoa -- BIKE SEATS HAVE LADY PARTS?! I may never drive again!
Thanks to BanAna, who doesn't need Camelflage because she invented an invisibility cloak. Well damn, smarty pants!

iCloud Backup Size Problem?
I have seen this posted a few times, but with no definitive answer.
My iPhone backup is 2.4 GB. When I click to see the apps that are backed up, the biggest thing is the camera--32.0MB, and the rest are all considerably smaller than that. I have no voice memos or reminders, and my camera roll only has one video and a few pictures. I have iCloud Mail turned off, as well as Safari and Passbook. I deleted all of my iMessages (a lot of them had videos/pics I had sent...though I do use iMessage for Mac and haven't deleted all of those). Nothing changes. Any ideas why the backup is so big? Thanks! |

Im kind of wondering if we went after Sam Kuhter from Toledo, IA. I see that he is ranked ahead of Holden Kramer and has not committed elsewhere and also on any recruiting thing it says he is a great punter. I wonder if he is getting looks elsewhere and just didnt feel like coming to Iowa State or what the deal is there. Nonetheless, welcome Holden! Nice to have that WDM Valley connection!

I would just contact Newegg via Chat. Usually they are pretty quick to rectify the problem by offering a $10 credit back to your CC or gift card for the equivalent value. You could always convert the gift card to cash on another FAR deal. So... I would settle for either one. |
I bought these to throw in with a laptop that I am selling that does not have a webcam. I bought before looking at the specs and when I plugged it in Windows 7 did not find the video camera drivers. Seems that it does not work on Windows 7, I should look before I leap, but it was free right so not a problem.
After some toil and luck I found the Logitech software, LWS110.exe, and installed it and it works now on Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit. It works with the logitech software and with Skype. So just thought I would let anyone else who has Windows 7 know who finds it not working. |
The rebate card I received had a sticker saying it needed to be activated. When I tried to activate it, it said the number was invalid. I called customer service and they said I had to fax a copy of my ID along with the card number in order to get it activated.

Traditional Furniture takes its beginning from furniture produced in Europe in 17-19th century. Typical traditional furniture can be identified by graceful shapes, elaborate carvings, ornamentation and details that give it a formal look. Popular traditional style types are Victorian, Neoclassic, Country, French Country, and British Colonial.Contemporary Furniture style, sometimes also described as high-tech and minimalist, uses straight lines, minimum number of colors (solid or patterned) and generally features new materials and cutting-edge technology. Popular contemporary style types are Deco, Modern, Scandinavian, Italian and Minimalism.Transitional Furniture style walks the line between traditional and contemporary furniture, with lines that are less ornate than traditional styles but not as severely basic as contemporary lines.

play Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2, I don't think they'll be worried you're a bit fruity anymore
It's like saying "You can't play as Mario, 'cause you're not Italian."
the wind blows, and it scatters me
wandering aimlessly
I played all 3 Mass Effect games as a female because the quality of the female voice acting was so much higher. If I'd had to play all 3 as dude-bro Shep it would have been torturous.
I always play as female characters. If it is a game where you have to go through it as good and evil, my evil character is usually a female.
I also like to create video game versions of my wife. It is a running joke in my house. I attempt to make them look as close to my wife as I can. Then my daughter and I usually come up with a name. We usually try to make it some variant of my wife's name, but that sometimes is difficult. My wife then complains that it looks nothing like her although often it does. My Skyrim character looks like my wife beyond the scars I put on her; she fights dragons for crying out loud! Her name is a bit different though. What is funny is my daughter and I came up with a name that I didn't think even existed and then this year I got a student with that very name! Crazy shit.
I love playing as girls in RPGs.
And then dragging my female party members off to bed for hot lesbian sex.
virtue untested is innocence.
When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember it is still an evil.
Personally it's because I find most video game leading male characters to be so utterly boring. Bulked up generic armoured dude with a big gun? I wonder which game that's from.... (hint, pretty much any of them). So at least a bulked up armoured chick with a big gun would be something different.
i've gotten the same thing from some of my friends !
cause apparently if you choose a female character to play you must be gay or something (according to them) i don't really understand the logic in this at all, i find it kind of a turn on to play hot female characters especially in games like Mass Effect where you can be lesbian.
Either way it's something nice to look at and i have always enjoyed playing female characters ever since Chun Li who i could kick anyone's ass with.
"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible."
- Stanisław Jerzy Lec
That seems like the genre where it would have the smallest impact. A lot of FPS characters don't even speak. If one of the soldiers you played as in CoD were female, would you even notice?
Did you? A female version of a boring character is just as boring. My soldiers in XCOM aren't suddenly more interesting or creative if they're female. It takes more than merely swapping gender/race/sexuality/whatever to make a character interesting or different.

Penis should automatically make it the normal or default choice?
Did you ever play Metroid? I'm talking about the game on the NES back in '86 or Super Metroid on the SNES in '94. Now obviously they have great gameplay which automatically makes them good games (Super Metroid is generally considered to be one of the greatest games ever made) but part of what made them such amazing games is the fact that Samus is 'revealed' to be a woman. I mean here you were controlling what you would 'assume' to be a dude in an armoured suit only to have those pre-conceptions shattered when you realised that it's actually a woman. Alien with Sigourney Weaver and Metroid (which was certainly influenced by Alien) are two things where it wouldn't really have mattered to the story or action/gameplay if the characters were male. But they didn't go with the 'default' option of making the character male and that's one of the best things those two properties ever did.
It's the fact that Samus' gender made literally zero difference to the gameplay or story of those Metroid games. Samus' kicks arse, and she happens to be a chick. It's a reason to say why the hell *aren't* you making female characters and instead defaulting to male characters?

An awarding authority must reject a bidder who is deemed not "responsible." Section 2 of M.G.L. c. 30B defines a responsible bidder as "a person who has the capability to perform fully the contract requirements, and the integrity and reliability which assures good faith performance." Awarding authorities are given a great deal of discretion in determining a bidder's responsibility. The general rule is that the determination of a bidder's competence is left to the discretion of the awarding authority, absent a showing that the awarding authority acted illegally, arbitrarily, or in bad faith. See Catamount Construction, Inc. v. Town of Pepperell, 7 Mass. App. Ct. 911 (1979).
In Michael J. Connolly & Sons, Inc. v. Town of Bellingham, Civil Action No. 95-1311 (August 25, 1995), the trial court addressed the issue of an awarding authority's discretion to determine a bidder's responsibility. In that case, the Town of Bellingham solicited bids on a school bus transportation services contract. The lowest bidder was rejected on the basis of poor references and then sued to enjoin the Town from awarding the contract to another bus company. The court found that the awarding authority's review of the lowest bidder's references was "businesslike, thorough, fair, and consistent with the advertisement for bid."
Id. at 8. On these facts, the court applied the rule that "[w]hether a low bidder is 'responsible' is virtually always left to the discretion of the awarding authority ... [t]he court will only intervene if the action of the awarding authority is shown to be illegal, arbitrary, or in bad faith." Id. at 7.
While the awarding authority enjoys considerable discretion to set reasonable standards for a bidder's responsibility, the standards must be applied fairly and a decision to reject a bidder for failing to meet the standards must be supported by facts. Bradford & Bigelow, Inc. v. Commonwealth, 24 Mass. App. Ct. 349 (1987) describes a set of circumstances in which an awarding authority was found to have acted arbitrarily, capriciously, and in bad faith in disqualifying a bidder as not responsible. In that case, Bradford & Bigelow (B & B), the lowest bidder for a state printing contract, was disqualified based on a determination by the Department of Labor and Industries that the firm did not pay its workers the legally required prevailing wages. The State Purchasing Agent rejected B & B's bid based on the prevailing wage issue and rejected the only other bid received on other grounds. B & B was subsequently determined to be in compliance with the prevailing wage law and reinstated as an eligible bidder.
The State Purchasing Agent then solicited a second round of bids. This time B & B's competitor submitted a lower bid and won the contract award. B & B sued, claiming that its rejection during the first round of bidding was without rational basis. The evidence presented at trial showed that B & B had been disqualified shortly after submitting the lowest bid despite having been certified as paying prevailing wages for the previous ten years. The evidence also showed that the disqualification was based on a determination that B & B, located in Danvers, was required to pay Boston wage rates, despite evidence that prevailing wage rates were based on local conditions and wages. In light of this evidence, the standards appeared to have been applied unfairly.
After concluding that state officials acted arbitrarily, capriciously, and in bad faith, a jury awarded B & B damages in the amount of the profits the firm lost when it was deprived of the contract. On appeal, the court upheld the damage award, ruling that the failure of public officials to consider bids fairly and in good faith will subject the awarding authority to liability for profits lost by the bidder.

Of the many CIOs that I have had the pleasure to either work for or discuss with, one of the main concerns that constantly resonate is that of job longevity. When on average the job longevity for a CIO is between only 4-5 years and with trends showing that this is likely to shorten, it's no surprise that the role of a CIO requires instant success in minimal time and typically with minimal budget. Nearly every CEO's mandate to a CIO is for IT to be better, faster and cheaper.
With this challenge the three steps to success for any CIO are plain and obvious. They are:
- Eliminate risk
- Improve Cycle Times
- Reduce Cost
While these three steps may incorporate subsidiary aspects such as demonstrating how IT best serves the business, building technological confidence to the business and making IT more effective etc. they eventually all fall under one of the three steps mentioned above.
Step 1: Eliminate risk
First by eliminating risk from your IT environment you immediately address the business concerns of:
- The revenue impact of downtime
- The revenue impact of performance slowdowns
- The impact to the business' brand value
Step 2: Improve Cycle Times
With a common business perception that legacy IT is too slow to deliver, improved cycle times are an imperative. This requires a solution that can accelerate the following and of course risk free:
- Virtualization and consolidation
- Refresh projects
- New Application and Service Roll outs
- Private Cloud initiatives
Step 3: Reduce Cost
The last and most obvious one also presents the biggest challenge especially as customarily the last thing a new CIO can do is ask for a large investment to implement their new IT strategy. The business will quickly recognize a CIO's success if they can prove that during their tenure they reduced CapEx and OpEx as well as Total Cost of Ownership.
So it's at this point imperative to remember that a CIO should not be concerned with buying technology from different silos and vendors but instead acquiring solutions that solve business problems. Long gone are the days when it was acceptable for a CIO to proudly boast the magnitude of their data centres and the large technology growth they had accumulated in an attempt to ensure everything was fully redundant. Instead the key drivers are for simplification, standardization & consolidation. This is where the concept of VCE's Vblock is key to a CIO's success.
Infrastructure more often than not doesn't carry the same sassiness or prominence to the business as a key application such as SAP but infrastructure is in essence the heart and soul of a business - if the server or storage goes down, the application won't work which ultimately means you cannot ship and sell your product, hence why the three steps to CIO success are linked to a successful infrastructure.
How to Eliminate Risk:
An integrated stack should entail a robust disaster recovery and business continuity solution that can not only be tested and proven but also implemented and run with minimum complication.
This should also incorporate the de-risking of application migrations from physical to virtual platforms and more specifically key applications that the business depends on.
Moreover this means a de-risked maintenance and operational procedure for the IT environment that is pretested, prevalidated and predictable and consequently eliminates any unplanned downtime.
In the past eliminating risk in this way has resulted in countless testing and validation procedures where every minute spent testing is a minute spent not growing the business. A true converged infrastructure can immediately resolve this.
How to improve Cycle Time:
Delivering a predefined, pre-integrated stack or in essence a plug and play data centre that's delivered and built fit for purpose in typically only 30 days can quickly achieve this by reducing typical infrastructure delivery times by three months. Having proven infrastructure in minimal time allows the application owners to roll out new services at a fraction of the time and consequently cost.
How to Reduce Cost:
The key to this is to link any proposed investment to a tangible ROI that spans at least three years. Where most vendors have made the mistake of determining ROI based on virtualizing a total physical infrastructure this rarely works as most organisations have already virtualized to some extent. Instead an incremental value needs to be formulated that is linked to the virtualisation of key business critical applications.
Additionally with an integrated solution across the stack there's no need to manage multiple components of an infrastructure and consequently multiple failure points that preoccupy multiple silos. This encompasses a changing of the mindset of technology being a break/fix, reactive organisation where heroes are rewarded for extinguishing fires. Instead a proactive and preventive methodology that has an "always on" culture will be adopted.
By streamlining the workforce to do more with less in correlation with application teams, OpEx cost savings can quickly be achieved by redeploying money from the back end infrastructure to front office, revenue enhancing business value and productivity.
To conclude, technology's protocol is to enable the business. Ensuring success in the three aforementioned steps enables a CIO to quickly enable the business .....and it may also allow them to stay in their job that little bit longer.
