I am back after a short break from brewing while getting settled back into school! I am currently taking (and sitting in) a course called Brewing Sciences and Technologies. For a large portion of our grade we have to write a 10 page paper on ANY topic relating to beer. The point of this thread is to help me get ideas from the bright minds out there!
So far I have settled on "The great debates of hombrew culture" for my topic. I feel like I could write a novel discussing both sides of the glass/plastic, secondary/none, etc etc debates.
Any ideas for that topic or a completely different one are welcomed!
If I had 8 hours to chop down a tree, I would spend 6 sharpening my axe. ~Abe Lincoln
I would write a research paper on which style of beer gets me drunk the quickest.
Of course. You can't just guess that stuff. This is a research paper dammit.......
Its a bad study N=1. You need about 3000 of your closest friends to have any statistical power*
*I made this up.
I saw a piece a few weeks ago on the Discovery Channel (or one of those types of channels) that pretty much said that the whole history of mankind's evolution, industrialization, medical breakthrough revolved around the discovery of beer. Now that would make for an interesting paper.
If you're looking at the this vs. that debates it looks like much of the work has been done for you --> http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/vs-p...alysis-109318/
How about:
Long primary, with no secondary vs short primary, and then secondary...
Write a small section about the history of home brewing in the united states, then just keep a journal of a brewing session you're doing and you got a research paper and a new batch
it is the drink of men who think
and feel no fear nor fetter
who do not drink to senseless sink
but drink to think the better
Favorite brews of the founding fathers... Ones they drank, and ones they made...

I'm looking forward to this game. It'll be a perfect time for a GPU upgrade by then.A few of the gameplay videos of Crysis 3 out there look pretty amazing. You'll need a beast of a rig to run it at full settings.
I picked up a free copy of Cry3 for ordering a second copy of BF3 a while ago. Origin goofed up and put it on my own account automatically when I meant to gift it to my son-in-law. Their customer service was very nice and sorted out the snafu, so I was able to get Cry3 for myself, and gift BF3 to my SIL.I've been waiting for a release date for a long time. This will probably prompt my Haswell rebuild for Cry3/Star Citizen.--If we lose this freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment, those who had the most to lose, did the least to prevent its happening.
I can't wait for Crysis 3. I've been considering the purchase of a 680 to go along with my 3 1080p monitors. I want to hook them up for surround gaming. But I'm not sure how well a single 680 would handle Crysis 3 @ 5760x1080. My guess would be that it would probably be pretty rough.My question is should I buy a 680 now? Or wait for the next refresh(whenever that may be), probably having to postpone surround Crysis 3?
Most definitely wait, and consider an AMD over Nvidia, as AMD will scale better at that resolution--but reserve judgement until the Radeon 8000 series comes out (if you can wait until Q2 '13). Otherwise consider (IMO) two 7950s.--If we lose this freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment, those who had the most to lose, did the least to prevent its happening.
I've really enjoyed having an Nvidia GPU. Nvidia has some features that I like that AMD doesn't including Physx and CUDA. So I think I'd like to stay Nvidia. Although I've also heard the same thing about AMD GPU's being very good in regards to resolution scalability. The gap use to be pretty big when it came to higher resolutions between the two companies. But from what I've heard, I guess Nvidia has greatly improved their 'surround' feature. And that multi-monitor gaming has improved leaps and bounds better than it use to be for Nvidia.This isn't to say that I wouldn't even consider AMD because I would. I just feel more comfortable with Nvidia and their drivers compared to AMD's.

Stewarts Law quadriplegic trainee takes London Marathon to court after race entry refused
Readers' comments (27)
Good for you Matt. You are a very resilient young man and you should be proud of what you have achieved.
Why is the London Marathon persistently being referred to as a competition, and the fairness or otherwise of Matt being allowed to enter being judged against that back drop...? Forget that Matt won the 2007 NY Marathon. What if, like many others, he just wanted to do the marathon for fun and to raise money for charity!? The man should be estopped from doing something fun and good just because he uses a motorised wheelchair!! Think of all that money someone as inspirational as him could raise!! This isn't the paralympics so get off your legal high horses, please. Go, Matt - I cannot believe how much criticism what you're doing has attracted. Blimey.
We were all brought to this earth for a reason and have the ability to do whatever we want with our lives, in Matts case this includes the ability to participate in marathons. The fact that his wish to take part in the London Marathon 2014 is being frustrated by red tape is at odds with both the broader objectives of the London Marathon Charitable Trust and the stated goals of the founders of the present London Marathon, Chris Brasher and John Disley.
Shortly after completing the New York Marathon in November 1979 Brasher wrote an article for The Observer with a view to fostering similar marathon spirit in London. The article began: "To believe this story you must believe that the human race be one joyous family, working together, laughing together, achieving the impossible." Matt has already inspired thousands by achieving the impossible in New York, the organisers of the London Marathon and its sponsors Virgin Money must allow Matt to the opportunity to do likewise.
We are part of a profession committed to diversity in all it's forms, I do hope that the Law Society will fully support Matt in his efforts to correct this obvious injustice. Furthermore, I would suggest that anyone concerned by the refusal to allow Matt to compete in the event should highlight the matter in Twitter and other social media the hope that @richardbranson @Virgin & @VirginMoney will take note.
Although I don't like the rise of litigation in society, I think Matt King is right to make a stand on this issue.
The comments about using a Ferrari are absurd. He's not going up against the professional able bodied runners. He's just participating for the enjoyment of the occasion (much like you or I may do). He's not looking to win the prize money, just to use join in.
Let him do that.
He isn't a competitor, just someone who wants to take part and have fun.
Henry K.R. Are you really a blind archer? I am sure you would know that a registered blind archer Im Dong-Hyun competed in the Olympics and scored a world record in the ranking rounds and a bronze team medal. Perhaps if he had no arms or legs then your analogy would hold true and only then if he was competing against the elite ranked runners.
In reality most of the people huffing around in 5 hours or dressed as a big yellow duck are not doing it to achieve a ranking but as a public display of personal endurance. What the people bleating on here are really saying is that for Matt using a motorised chair is not hard enough compared to people using working legs and arms. Or they are saying he putting everyone to too much trouble and he should not be an inconvenience. That is exactly what the disability legislation is to stop, ie people with disability being told to keep out sight and stop being an inconvenience.
Every event of this nature is governed by rules. In this case it would be IAAF, IPC & UK Athletics et al. Those rules are in place primarily in regard to the competitive aspects & to gain race licences from the governing bodies.
It's clear that the entry of King into the Great North Run & New York Marathons, that these rules are not applicable as he is not competing in an official time trial or qualifying event or seeking to gain an advantage over other athletes against who he could be considered to be competing. This is key.
If the rules are so rigid, how did Claire Lomas gain entry & be allowed to participate in the London Marathon?
Every rule used to prevent King entering was ignored when Lomas was allowed entry.
It does seem to me that this is not about rules, but a matter of London deciding they don't want him in the event & constantly dodging the issue until they are backed into a corner. That can be the only reason this has gone on so long & reached the point it has.

Coming here after a more rustic stay outside Addis made the Ghion seem great! My room was a twin and was light and spacious. Plenty of hot water, decent towels, and a balcony.

If trees blossomed at the end of January where you live, your allergies may have already flared up.
Dr. Kent Pinkerton of UC Davis' Center for Health and the Environment says it's not so clear how the drought will affect the allergy season this year.
Dry conditions could prevent pollen-producing vegetation from flourishing, but then again, it doesn't take much rain to make flowers grow.
"If we do have an earlier blossom season than indeed we could have an earlier or perhaps a more sustained or longer pollen season than normal."
But Pinkerton says people with allergies should watch out for other conditions caused by the drought this year – like dust in the air.
And smoke during the wildfire season could further compound respiratory problems.

The injury-riddled Rams have no chance to accomplish anything in 2014. So once again it's time to starting working on next season.
Tomas Berdych stayed on course for qualifying for the ATP finals for the fifth straight year by beating Feliciano Lopez 7-5, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals of the Paris Masters on Thursday.
Berdych, the 2005 champion at the Palais Omnisports, hit eight aces and saved six of the eight break points he faced to move one match away from the season-ending tournament in London from Nov.
Madison Bumgarner, the World Series M. V. P., lives on a farm near his father, Kevin, in the off-season, in an area of the Appalachian foothills where the mailboxes offer a whole lot of Bumgarners.
New owner could recoup money over next 15 years
Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp says he has patched up his differences with Adel Taarabt and could play the Morocco playmaker against Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
The easiest decision Bruce Bochy had all night was when to put Madison Bumgarner in the game.

A DIY Wedding Reception for 200
Gatherings from The Kitchn
Over the past few days I've been sharing the process of catering an hors d'oeuvre wedding reception for friends (you can see all of the posts so far here, including the plan and the menu). Now we've arrived at the big day: the wedding itself!
It was a hectic day of packing up, finishing the food, shopping for last-minute supplies, and laying out the buffet, but in the end, the food was delicious, the bride and bridegroom were glowing, and everyone had a good time! Want to see how we pulled it all off — and on a budget, too?
Recipe: Polenta Toasts with Herbed Ricotta & Bacon
Appetizer Recipes from The Kitchn
Polenta is such a wonderful ingredient — so easy to work with, full of texture and flavor, inexpensive, naturally gluten-free — that I often turn to it when planning a party menu. For the wedding I catered last month (see the whole menu here) polenta was the perfect solution and one of the hits of the evening.
These crisp polenta toasts can be made well ahead, and their topping of rich ricotta and bacon is both simple and crowd-pleasing.
A DIY Wedding Reception for 200: The Menu (With Planning Tips)
Gatherings from The Kitchn
This week I'm showing you the big wedding reception I catered for friends earlier in the spring, and today I want to share the menu we finally landed on. The reception took place after dinnertime, and so the food was all small bites, with cake to follow. But I knew that a lot of people probably wouldn't eat much dinner beforehand, so I leaned towards the heavy side of appetizers.
Want to see what we served, and how we planned it out?
How I Calculated the Amount of Food Needed to Feed 200 People at a DIY Wedding Reception
Gatherings from The Kitchn
Yesterday I explained how I catered a friend's wedding earlier this spring, and I offered up the five questions I think you should ask yourself before tackling a project like this. I should have added one more criteria: Are you good at math? Because catering takes a lot of it.
Here's the first piece of math required — estimating and calculating how many bites per person you are going to need.
Recipe: Tomato & Mozzarella Caprese Skewers
Appetizer Recipes from The Kitchn
This week I'm sharing my process of catering a friend's wedding — a rather large affair involving 200 guests and plenty of appetizers. I needed at least a few menu choices that were easy, no-cook, and make-ahead. Today's "recipe" was not only a perfect choice for the wedding, but, thanks to all of these easy-going attributes, a wonderful appetizer for smaller parties as well.
So, if you need a no-cook, make-ahead hors d'oeuvre this summer, may I suggest tomato-mozzarella caprese skewers?
5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Deciding to Cater a Wedding or Other Large Event
Gatherings from The Kitchn
This week I'm sharing the wedding I catered for a friend last month — a big shebang with drinks and appetizers for about 200 people. It was a lot of work, and while I love catering weddings from time to time, I honestly don't recommend it as a one-size-fits-all solution for a budget wedding. You need to make sure you have a few things in place and are up for the challenge.
To that end, I always recommend people ask these five questions — ready to take the quiz? If you're thinking of catering a big event, check these out.
A DIY Wedding Reception for 200: The Party Plan
Gatherings from The Kitchn
This month we're going to bring you a slightly different Gathering from The Kitchn (see our whole party series here!). Usually we show you a party we've thrown in our own homes, like a baby shower or a game night with friends. This week, however, I'm going to show you how I catered a friend's wedding reception last month.
It was a big job — appetizers and drinks for 200 people! But this is still a very reasonable thing to do as an amateur cook, with a few notes, caveats, and precautions. I'll share those this week, along with some favorite recipes. Here are the basic details of what I took on.
Summer Recipe: No-Bake Strawberry Icebox Cake
Recipes from The Kitchn
Hot Fudge & Beyond: 9 Sauces to Drizzle Over Ice Cream
Recipes from The Kitchn
Probably the easiest and most welcome dessert in the summertime is a big bowl of ice cream, drizzled with hot fudge. It's so simple to bring out a quart of decent store-bought ice cream, but serving it with a homemade sauce really puts it over the top and transforms it from a weeknight dessert into something extra-special.
Here are nine delicious sauces, from essential hot fudge to an Oreo twist on the classic, and for you maximalists, a creamy candy bar sauce. Want to go lighter and fresher? Warm raspberry or fresh cherry is where it's at.
Looking For a Terrific Hostess Gift? Give a Produce Bouquet!
I am a firm believer in never showing up empty-handed to a get-together. I always try to bring a little something that says, "Thank you for having us — we like you." However, it's easy to get in a hostess gift slump, but here's a cute and simple idea that'll change up your gift-giving game: a produce bouquet!

The Cardinals reached to Triple-A Memphis to bolster their bullpen Monday morning, calling up left-hander Tyler Lyons and sending down infielder Greg Garcia.

This week I've updated all the RailsApps example applications to Ruby 2.1.3 and Rails 4.1.6, the latest versions.
I've added a Heroku Button for each of the example applications. If you visit the GitHub repository for any of the example applications, you'll see a big purple button. Click the button and the application is automatically deployed to Heroku. Here is an example:
The button above will automatically deploy the popular rails-devise-roles application. With one click, the application is up and running on Heroku. Try it!
Heroku Support in Rails Composer
Rails Composer offers a new option, "Prepare for deployment?"
option Prepare for deployment?
1) no
2) Heroku
3) Capistrano
If you select Heroku, Rails Composer will set up your application so it is ready for deployment to Heroku. Here's what is extra cool: Rails Composer makes sure the README file for your new application includes a big purple Heroku Button. You can commit your application to a public GitHub repository. Then, from the README page, anyone can automatically deploy to their own Heroku account. It's all set up for you.
Of course, you can continue to deploy to Heroku from the command line. With the new support for Heroku in Rails Composer, the Gemfile is set up for Heroku.
Support for Other Providers
Heroku is not the only provider of platform-as-a-service hosting for Rails applications. Here are some others I know about:
If you like one of these services, and would like Rails Composer to set up an application for deployment, please let me know with a comment or an email to email@example.com.
As always, a big thanks to everyone who joins the RailsApps project with a subscription, supporting the project.
I've added the Upmin admin framework to Rails Composer as an option. Upmin is an admin dashboard similar to Active Admin or RailsAdmin. The upmin-admin gem is new and well-designed, from Upmin, a startup building customer support software.
Admin dashboards such as Upmin give you convenient access to your database, so you can search by any attribute, and view, update, or delete any records. The interface should only be used by an administrator since it lets you make any changes to your application data. Best of all, there's no code to write and nothing to configure. The upmin-admin gem is a Rails engine, so you can override its controller and views if you want to customize your admin dashboard.
Rails Composer gives you an option to add Upmin when you select Devise for authentication with role-based authorization or Pundit. Rails Composer:
You can select Upmin when you generate the rails-devise-roles or rails-devise-pundit starter applications, or when you build a custom application using Devise with role-based authorization or Pundit.
The Upmin admin dashboard is a great addition to make Rails Composer even more powerful. It's a new integration, and I haven't tried it with every possible option in Rails Composer, so open an issue on GitHub if you discover anomalies.
As always, a big thanks to everyone who joins the RailsApps project with a subscription, supporting the project.
Recently I released an example application and tutorial showing how to use the Pundit gem for authorization. Pundit is great, but often it's not needed. Many developers don't realize that simple role-based authorization can be added to a Rails application with just a few lines of code.
I've released a new example application showing how to implement simple role-based authorization:
It's available as a choice on the menu for Rails Composer, when you generate a starter application.
I've written an in-depth article comparing simple role-based authorization, Pundit, and the popular CanCan gem:
I've completed a new Role-Based Authorization Tutorial.
RailsApps subscribers are getting tutorials every month:
You can join RailsApps to get the tutorials and support the project.
Role-Based Authorization
The new tutorial covers role-based authorization, showing how to use the Active Record enum feature in Rails 4.1 to add a role attribute to a User model. You can set up roles for administrators, users with free or premium plans, or any other system of privileges. The tutorial shows how you can set up simple role-based authorization without any extra gems. For more complex applications, see the Pundit Quickstart Guide.
I appreciate the on-going support from RailsApps subscribers. If you like the articles, the tutorials, the example applications, or Rails Composer, please subscribe to support the RailsApps project.
Update: These issues are now resolved with Rails 4.2.0.beta2.
Rails 4.2.0.beta1 is out with some great new features such as Active Job. Unfortunately, there's a bug with the newest 2.4.1 release of RubyGems (the system gem) that makes it difficult to install Rails 4.2.0.beta1. See Rails issue 16609.
Check if you are using RubyGems 2.4.1:
$ gem -v
Do you encounter this error when installing Rails 4.2.0.beta1?
$ gem install rails --pre
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::DependencyError)
Unresolved dependency found during sorting - activesupport (>= 4.0)
(requested by sprockets-rails-3.0.0.beta1)
You can work around the problem by downgrading to the 2.2.2 version of RubyGems.
$ gem update --system 2.2.2
Updating rubygems-update
Fetching: rubygems-update-2.2.2.gem (100%)
Successfully installed rubygems-update-2.2.2
Installing RubyGems 2.2.2
RubyGems 2.2.2 installed
Now you will be able to install Rails 4.2.0.beta1.
If you are using RVM, and you want to use two different versions of the RubyGems system gem, you'll need to install two different versions of the latest Ruby 2.1.2 release with different RVM names. For example, if you already have Ruby 2.1.2 installed with the newest RubyGems 2.4.1, you can install another version of Ruby 2.1.2, giving it a different name:
$ rvm install ruby-2.1.2-oldrubygem
RubyGems 2.2.2 is installed by default with the current Ruby 2.1.2 release:
$ ruby -v
ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-darwin13.0]
$ gem -v
You'll be able to install Rails 4.2.0.beta1.
Do you know someone who teaches a class or workshop on Rails?
I offer my book for beginners, Learn Ruby on Rails, to students enrolled in classes or workshops, including university and community college classes, immersive code camps, and community workshops. The book is popular with instructors and students. Here are some of the places where the students have received the book for free:
If you know someone who teaches Rails, they can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for an evaluation copy of the book. For an independent review, see Tech Book Face Off: Learn Ruby on Rails. The book is free for students enrolled in any organized class or workshop. If you're studying on your own, organize a study group and get in touch with me. Or purchase a RailsApps subscription for the book plus many more in-depth tutorials.
Devise 3.3 was released on August 13, 2014. The Devise CHANGELOG lists several minor enhancements and bug fixes. In the new version, Devise default views now say "Log in" instead of "Sign in." Alex Soble proposed the change, based on an article that points out the easy confusion of "Sign up" and "Sign in." What do you think? Was the change warranted?
Perhaps a more significant change is new wording for the error messages when a user's email address or password is incorrect. If you're using an application that includes feature tests for sign in (oops, "log in") with Devise, and you update the Devise locale file, your feature tests will break. Take a look at the changed locale file if you'd like to see the new error messages.
Several of the RailsApps example applications use Devise and provide RSpec tests for sign up and sign in with Devise. I've updated the RailsApps example applications to use Devise 3.3 and revised the tests so they continue to work. The aim of the RailsApps project is to provide a reliable reference implementation for integration of the gems that developers are most likely to use in a new Rails application. With this update, you'll get the most recent version of Devise when you use Rails Composer or copy an example application.
The RailsApps project is supported by our monthly subscribers. If you like the work we're doing, please consider joining and supporting the project with a subscription.
Bootstrap 3.2 was released on June 26, 2014 and the bootstrap-sass gem was released immediately afterward. Bootstrap 3.2 contains many new features and bug fixes but the biggest impact for Rails developers are new installation instructions for the bootstrap-sass gem. Previously, developers added Bootstrap to the Rails asset pipeline by adding to the app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss file:
@import "bootstrap";
Now the recommendation is to use:
@import "bootstrap-sprockets";
@import "bootstrap";
This will only matter to you if you are using glyphicons. See details if you'd like to know more.
The installation instructions are also different for the Bootstrap JavaScript components. In the file app/assets/javascripts/application.js we had:
//= require bootstrap
Now we can use:
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
The older version delivered concatenated JavaScript. The newer version uses a
require for all Bootstrap modules, making output easier to debug.
Most Rails developers who are using Bootstrap are unaware of these changes, unless they've recently reviewed the bootstrap-sass README. It's an example of a typical open source problem. An obscure bug gets fixed by changing how a gem gets integrated into an application but developers don't learn they need to update their applications to accommodate the fix. That's where the RailsApps project provides a service. I've updated every RailsApps example application that uses Bootstrap, so if you clone a repository or use Rails Composer to create a starter app, you'll have the correct configuration for Bootstrap. You can use the RailsApps example applications as a reliable reference implementation, so you can easily see how Bootstrap or other gems should be integrated with Rails.
I've completed a new tutorial on Rails authentication with OmniAuth.
RailsApps subscribers are getting tutorials every month:
You can join RailsApps to get the tutorials and support the project.
OmniAuth Tutorial
I've already written a tutorial about Devise, the most popular authentication gem. With Devise, users sign up with an email address and password to gain access to your web application. With OmniAuth, visitors sign in using an account they already have with Twitter, Facebook, GitHub, or many other social networking sites. If you are building an application that is intended for users of one of these social networking sites, you'll probably want to use OmniAuth, and the new tutorial shows you how.
In the tutorial, I first show a simple way to implement authentication. Then, in the chapter "Customizing the Application," I show how to request an email address from the user when he or she first signs in to your application. Some service providers (Twitter, Meetup, LinkedIn) do not provide an email address when their users sign in to your application using OmniAuth. The lack of an email address can be a business drawback, if you want the opportunity to stay in contact with the user by email, so the tutorial shows how to solve the problem.
Now, when you build a Rails starter application with Rails Composer, you get the option of page-view tracking without any effort. Run Rails Composer and you'll see:
recipe Running analytics recipe...
option Install page-view analytics?
1) None
2) Google Analytics
3) Segment.io
choose Enter your selection: 2
option Google Analytics ID?
You get a choice of either Google Analytics or the Segment.io service.
Google Analytics
I like Segment.io because it gives me Google Analytics plus any of 107 other services. With Segment.io, you can instantly switch on tracking for services such as Mixpanel, KISSmetrics, and many others. It's a commercial service but it's free for low-traffic sites (less than 100K pageviews or events per month). Rails Composer installs the Segment.io tracking script in the Rails asset pipeline, and adds code to accommodate Rails TurboLinks.
Rails and Analytics
I wrote an article on Analytics for Rails last year. You can see the article for more about the code you need for analytics. My goal for Rails Composer is "no mystery code." That's why I write tutorials and articles to explain the code generated by Rails Composer. Thanks to support from RailsApps subscribers, I was able to update the article this week. Please join me in giving a shout-out of thanks to the subscribers who pay $19/month to make this possible. And if you haven't joined, please consider getting a subscription to support the project.

There's also a new mailing list for news about Rails Composer. Join the mailing list if you want announcements of new features for Rails Composer.
You can now join a mailing list for news about Rails Composer. Sign up here:
Expect to receive two or three emails a month with announcements about features and changes.
The next time you run Rails Composer to build a starter application, you'll see an option to join the mailing list. I've built an application for mailinglist.railscomposer.com (which you can find on GitHub) with a simple API that responds to a curl request generated by Rails Composer. It's fun to see it in action. From the Rails Composer command line you can enter your email address, and the mailinglist.railscomposer.com application updates a MailChimp mailing list. Rest assured, there's no funny business going on with the email addresses (it's open source so anyone can examine the code); email addresses are not stored in the application database; they are simply passed to MailChimp.
I'm eager to see how many developers are using Rails Composer. In just a weekend, 20 developers have signed up for the mailing list. The Rails Composer repo on GitHub has over 2000 stars but we don't really know how many developers are actively using Rails Composer. In any case, the mailing list will be a better channel than blog posts or tweets to announce Rails Composer features and changes.
If you've got ideas for Rails Composer, let me know. You can reach me at (firstname.lastname@example.com). Thanks to support from subscribers, I'm now working full-time on the RailsApps project, splitting my time between developing Rails Composer and writing tutorials.

Indie Game: The Movie
2012 Directed by Lisanne Pajot, James Swirsky
Indie Game: The Movie is a feature documentary about video games, their creators and the craft. The film follows the dramatic journeys of video game developers as they create and release their games to the world. The film tells the emotional story of friends Edmund McMillen & Tommy Refenes, as they craft their first Xbox game: "Super Meat Boy". It follows Phil Fish, the creator of the highly-anticipated game: "FEZ". After 4 years of working in near solitude, Phil reveals his opus to the public for the first time. And, the film tells the surprising story of one of the highest-rated video games of all time:"Braid". The film is about making video games, but at its core, it's about the creative process, and exposing yourself through your work. In short: Making fun and games is anything but fun and games.

Maybe the best argument against game piracy I've ever seen, Indie Game: The Movie depicts three different independent game developers (all of which are either 1 or 2 people) at various stages of the creative process. One (Jonathan Blow who created 'Braid') after completion and release reflecting on the experience; another (Team Meat, creators of 'Super Meat Boy') at the final stretch as their game preps for release after a long development; and finally Phil Fish, creator of Fez, in the confusing, doubtful center of development.
What is most amazing about Indie Game is that you don't need to be a gamer to get it, or enjoy it. It speaks on a much larger scale about the creative process as…
I fell out of love with gaming almost a decade ago as I became increasingly bored by the bland homogenisation of the titles available. It has only been in the past couple of years that I've begun to dip my toe back into a hobby that provided me with so much entertainment and it is thanks to independent and quirky titles, like Limbo and Journey, that I've rediscovered the enjoyment of digital play.
Indie Game: The Movie is a documentary that follows the journey of three such games - Super Meatboy, Braid and Fez - as their independent creators battle to get their titles finished on time. Although undoubtedly passionate about the games they are creating all of the contributors…
Part of The December Project: Film #9
I walk the fine line between casual and hardcore gamers. I know more than most casual gamers, but I don't find myself as involved in the world as much as other people do. In fact, over the past year, I've almost completely lost interest in video games to the point where I only play to pass the time, and not out of actual interest. So it comes with no surprise that I'm pretty apathetic towards Indie Game. The Movie.
I will grant the documentary one thing, and it's that it does what all the best documentaries do: It tells a story. Indie Game. The Movie takes a look at the development of two…
The things I've sacrificed are social. You kind of have to give up something to have something great.
-Tommy Refenes
As a gamer (casual, hardcore, whatever label I fall under) I found the documentary interesting and highly entertaining. Judging it on it's own as a documentary though, it feels like the filmmakers showed up after all the drama had already happened and the aftermath settled in. We get a lot of talking heads regarding what happened to the 4 developers featured in the doc before any cameras showed up.
They picked developers from 3 games to cover. They represent the past, present and future of independent gaming, but in reality there's only 4 years between the oldest and newest so…
An interesting look on the an independent video game industry, and especially those who create them.
For a guy like me who have owned every single console there is since the early 90s, this was every (8-)bit as fun and nostalgic as you could have imagined. The movie in itself is not all that special, but the creators more than manage to get their point across in the end.
There's really thousand of work hours behind these games, the few designers (sometimes just more than one or two designers/programmers) and there's no guarantee that the game will be a hit. Basically, independent indie game designers risk both their health, sanity and money creating these games and they deserve a lot…
After watching this, I hate Phil Fish slightly less.

A wonderfully made documentary that looks at the work that goes into creating an indie game, highlighting the emotional journey of the creators along the way. Everything is beautifully shot and edited with a great and fitting soundtrack to boot.
Seeing a film that so perfectly captures what I love about video games was great. The passion that I have for so many games was caught perfectly, with every emotion the passion contains. Seeing the creators give their all to make something so personal to them is an experience well worth documenting.
I didn't expect the film to hit quite so many emotional notes. You feel the anger, the frustration, the joy. And none of it feels irrational, as documentaries…
An interesting documentary about several independent video game developers striving to influence the video game "world". It feels like your standard documentary.
Centered around the trials, tribulations, failures and successes of video game projects that independent developers face, Indie Game: The Movie is an overall involving, interesting and insightful documentary. Like most films seem to struggle with, Indie Game drags a little at times but I was overall satisfied when it was over. I found the Fez segment to be the most interesting and artistic, but all three were engaging in their own right, and provided a glimpse of the stressful and at times agonizing process of developing video games. I definitely recommend Indie Game for anyone looking for an informative documentary.

Indie Game The Movie is a must see for video game addicts that is a love letter to video games. Its heartfelt, painfully honest and rich in its own sense. And its also a film that inspires you to do something your good at and make that dream come true. I dont imagine people not liking this film.
Me ha gustado esta mirada intimista a un mundo tan desconocido para mi. Eso sí, están un poco chalados.
I'm not a gamer, though I am relatively familiar with Super Meat Boy and Fez. Indie Game: The Movie documents the development of these games.
I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting to enjoy this much, as my interest in video games is limited at best. However, by the end I found myself fully invested in the three developers the game follows. It's genuinely heartwarming to watch the hard work of the two men who created Super Meat Boy pay off, and their subsequent overwhelming happiness.
However, the most interesting personality is Phil Fish, sole developer of Fez. It's difficult to watch a man who appears so depressed, broken under the pressure he's placed on himself to complete his game for…

The Art of Political War for Tea Parties
Posted by David Horowitz on Nov 26th, 2009 and filed under FrontPage.
A specter is haunting America – the specter of a people rising. All across the nation Americans are waking up to the threat of a leftist elite determined to fundamentally change America, push through a socialist agenda, and make every citizen dependent on the state. The Obama machine is spending trillions of tax-payer dollars to finance their takeover of the American workplace and stifle the independence of the American people. But America is resilient nation, built on the principles of private property and individual freedom, and the resistance to their socialist plans has already begun.
In May 2009, just five months into the Obama administration, the people of California launched a tax revolt in the biggest spending state in the nation. So reckless were the leftist Democrats who run California (and have done so for as long as anyone can remember) that its deficit alone was larger than the budgets of most other states in the Union and of many of the nations of the world. Leftwing politicians don't cut budgets; they propose new taxes. And California's leftwing legislature did just that. But thanks to a constitutional amendment put in place by the California electorate through the state Initiative process, California legislators can't raise taxes without a two-thirds referendum of the people. So they were forced to hold a special election in May to appeal to the electorate to pass five new ballot Initiatives to raise taxes.
But when the votes were counted, all five tax-raising Initiatives had been defeated by 60% margins. Even in San Francisco. A sixth Initiative designed by tax opponents to punish legislators who do not balance the budget passed by a more than 70% margin. Even in San Francisco. If one of the most liberal states in the Union is saying no to the soak-the-public philosophy of leftwing legislators, Obama socialism is in big trouble.
The revolt in California quickly spread to the entire nation through the efforts of the Tea Parties movement, the most innovative, exciting and powerful grassroots force in the history of American conservatism. It is vital to the health of this country that the Tea Parties movement grow. More to the point: it is essential to American survival that the Tea Parties movement succeed. On the eve of the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama said "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming America." The Tea Parties movement is the American people saying no to Obama's plans for revolution.
* * *
A movement without an effective strategy for defeating its opponents cannot succeed. Therefore it is important to reacquaint ourselves with the art of political war.
While Democrats are morally bankrupt and clueless about policy – about what makes things work — they still win elections because they understand a simple fact: American politics is driven by the romance of the underdog, the story of the little guy who goes up against the system and triumphs in the end. It is a story about opportunity and fairness. To win the hearts and minds of the American voter, you have to tap the emotions the romance of the underdog evokes. Whoever does so has a winning edge.
America's heroes are all cut to this common mold. Whether it is George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Davy Crockett, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Amelia Earhart, Jackie Robinson, Ronald Reagan or Colin Powell, the theme is always the same: The common man who rises against the odds. America's political romance is "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" to make things right. It is "Meet John Doe" who speaks for the voiceless. It is Luke Skywalker who saves the planet by using the good side of the Force to defeat the Empire. It is the odyssey of individuals who challenge power, overcome adversity and rise to the top. Everyone in America thinks of themselves as an underdog and aspires to be a hero.
The cause of the underdog wins American hearts because it resonates with our deepest religious and moral convictions of doing good and helping others. And because it is America's own story. We began as a small nation, standing up to the world's most powerful empire. We dedicated ourselves to the idea that all men are created equal. We are a nation of immigrants and a generous people who arrived with nothing and made fortunes in a new world. This is the American Dream.
It's a story that will get you every time. But at election time, it's the political left and the Democratic Party who know how to wield it as a political weapon, and Republicans and conservatives generally who don't. Of course the Tea Parties have changed all that. And that is another sign that we are in an extraordinary political moment. The Tea Parties draw on the heritage of America's own revolution as an underdog nation and are the voice of the people, oppressed now by their own government which is out of control and determined to crush them.

I was told upon being hired that I could move up/move to the Marketing Department after 9 months if they happened to be hiring in Marketing at that time. I took this job basically right out of college with little real world experience, but needed the money, so I shot my chances of getting Marketing experience with the hopes I could transfer after 9 months. 2 years later, HR offers no real help other than to "keep checking the job postings" and does not hire Marketing employees from within. They hire Marketing people with experience. I basically need to start over so I can get on a career path that doesn't limit me to $35 K a year and is actually in the field I want to go into.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Fight Cancer – Light the Night Celebration 2014
Ink Technologies and team "Remember the Fallen, Fight the War(ner)" are celebrating another successful year of fundraising for the LLS Light the Night walk, raising over $17,000 in 2014 for the fight against blood cancer! A cure is in sight!
The Light the Night Walk is an event that celebrates the fundraising efforts by teams across the country dedicated to finding a cure for blood cancer. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) hosts this annual event in various cities across America as a way to remember those we have lost, honor those still fighting, and thank those who are unyielding in their support.
Lanterns are lit as everybody walks along the same path: red lanterns for supporters, white lanterns for survivors, and gold lanterns for the fallen. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has raised millions of dollars over the years which have helped to fund the discovery and development of a number of life-saving drugs that are used today, not only for blood cancers, but many other cancers.
In fact, it was one of those drugs that saved the life of an Ink Technologies employee and daughter of the company's owners, Robyn Warner. In 2011, she battled Stage IV Lymphoma and has been in remission for over 3 years and counting. That same year operations manager, Greg Gladman, lost his brother-in-law Kevin Newton to the same kind of blood cancer.
Since 2011, our team of family and friends, "Remember the Fallen, Fight the War(ner)", have participated in the Light the Night walk with sponsorship from Ink Technologies. Nearly $50,000 has been raised over the last 4 years by this team, including $1,000 from the generous support of our customers in 2014. Every $1.00 donation from our customers was matched by Ink Technologies.
Ink Technologies, owners Mike and Linda Davis, Robyn, Greg, and the many family, friends, and co-workers are proud to be among the highest fundraising teams in the tri-state area of Ohio and are determined to continue our efforts to eradicate blood cancer.
Walk as if your life depends on it. Walk because someone's life does.

Ideas to Celebrate Autumn
What's not to love about the fall season? Sure, winter is waiting just around the corner, but put that thought aside for now and take in the moment. The vibrant colors are everywhere.

Check out a few of the ideas we've gathered to help you do just that…
Take It In
It's easy to pass for a professional photographer this time of year. The colors are vibrant and beauty is everywhere, whether it's bluer than blue skies or curves of a pumpkin stem. Get artfully inspired by nature.

Office Tips for a Peaceful Workplace
If you spend much time at an office with other people, it's likely you will have conflicts to resolve, quirky habits to adjust to, and pet peeves to confront. This happens even if coworkers become close friends. Personalities sometimes clash or communication breaks down, and we just need help coping. But what if there was a better solution than just coping? Read on for a few tips and tools to bring peace back to your office space.
Communication Foundation
You've heard it before, communication is key. To keep communication lines open with coworkers, make yourself an approachable person. How do you do this? First, get to know your co-workers. The simple act of listening lets them know you care. Find some common interest to talk about, preferably non-work related. But don't use this as a form of gossip within the workplace. Your coworkers will get to know quickly that they can be honest with you about work-related needs, concerns or ideas.
