Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

In Zecharia Sitchin's books, it says that Alalu, the deposed king of Niburu was banished to Mars, and when he died there, his image was carved on a rock that was his tomb. "The image of Alalu upon the great rock mountain with beams they carved. They showed him wearing an Eagle's helmet; his face they made uncovered. Let the image of Alalu forever gaze toward Nibiru that he ruled, Toward the Earth whose gold he discovered!"

Thank you so much for your help, looks like everything is working great now. There was an old entry in the /etc/postfix/local-host-names, once I removed it, everything is being sent to the right spots.
Just one last question, I noticed this when I restarted httpd :

Since I removed roadracers.org from the server, will this error cause any problems? I will be moving roadracers.org to the site now that I know everything is working correctly.
I just noticed that msn.com emails are routed to mx1.hotmail.com servers and they time out. From what I have read, I need to create a SPF file. Where does this file go, I am lost when it says to place it in my zone file?

Xerium Announces 350 Ton Press Felt Production Expansion
Xerium Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:XRM) a leading global manufacturer of engineered textiles and roll covers and provider of mechanical services used in the production of paper, paperboard, building products, nonwoven materials, and general industry, today announced a 350 ton global press felt production increase through a combination of the following actions:
- Equipment investments in base fabric making, card making, needling and heat setting
- A centerpiece investment in a new, state-of-the-art DILO needle loom
- Additional production in Xerium's Asian and South American plants
Xerium is increasing its capacity in its press felt plants in response to strong global demand from customers for Xerium's high-end surface sensitive press felts. This additional capacity will be coming on line beginning in Q2 2013 and continue through Q4 2014. Xerium is largely capacity constrained with regards to press felt sales growth and, therefore, somewhat hampered in terms of partnering with growing customers, growing areas of the market and growing regions of the world.
The DILO needle loom is a special machine used in the production of high-end surface sensitive felts. These products are used on paper machines, fiber cement machines used in the production of building products and general purpose industrial textile machines. The high-speed, high-density needling capabilities of DILO's Hyperpunch machine will expand Xerium's current platform of needling looms used to manufacture Xerium's most technologically advanced press felts. The DILO machine is on order.
"We are excited to be investing for sales growth and expanding our capacity to make press felts of all types - paper machine press felts, fiber cement products, nonwoven products, and general purpose industrial textiles. Xerium's ability to grow in these areas has been limited by available capacity. These actions give our customers and sales teams more flexibility to pursue growth plans and additional new products. There are many parts to increasing our global capacity in a high-quality manner and it is a top priority at Xerium. We are expanding our base fabric capabilities, our heat setting capabilities, our needling capabilities, our card making capabilities and our finishing capabilities," said Harold Bevis, Xerium's President and CEO. "These actions increase our global capacity, lower our costs, increase our quality, and balance our production more efficiently to improve our lead times to customers. We are committed to reducing our total costs, growing our sales and maintaining our global technology leadership positions. These actions help us achieve these goals.

Same country, different rules?
The Associated Press just reported:
NBA commissioner Adam Silver delivered the swiftest, strongest penalty he could, then called on NBA owners to force Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sell the team for making racist comments that hurt the league. Almost unanimously, owners supported the commissioner Tuesday as he handed down one of the harshest penalties in the history of U.S. sports . . .
Sterling's comments — which were recorded by his girlfriend and released by TMZ on Saturday — harmed the league, Silver said. Sponsors were threatening to abandon the NBA, and criticism was coming from fans on social media and even the White House.
Sterling criticized V. Stiviano — purportedly the female voice on the recording — for posting pictures of herself with black athletes Magic Johnson and Matt Kemp.
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?" Sterling asks the woman on the recording.
Yes, saying such things is reprehensible, but apparently if you are powerful enough you can get away with not only saying terrible things but also doing terrible things, like murdering black people for the crime of being black, like Irish Catholics did during the 1863 New York City Draft Riots (this year marks the 151st anniversary of that event). The archbishop of New York, John Hughes, could have stopped the tremendous mayhem. Yet he did nothing to stop the riots that threatened New York City and the whole nation, as I discuss in Who Killed Abraham Lincoln?
Similarly, there were a number of factors that set the stage for the bloody U.S. Civil War. Slavery was one of them. It was a Roman Catholic judge who played a vital role by rendering the infamous Dred Scott decision in 1857. This judgment seemed designed to rip up every bit of anti-slavery legislation enacted in the United States since the Northwest Ordinance passed by Congress in 1787. Ruling for the majority, U. S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, a devout Catholic, decreed that blacks could not become U.S. citizens, that they "had no rights which the white man is bound to respect."
I have not heard of him being rebuked by the Church for such a statement, nor any of today's mainstream media noting any interest in taking the Church to task for such sentiment. I guess if you are one rich guy in California then it is simple to be destroyed for saying such things, but if you are a powerful religious entity, then different rules apply.
On this day, exactly a hundred and fifty years ago, Abraham Lincoln delivered his ageless Gettysburg Address. There is five copies of the speech made in Lincoln's own handwriting. I have had the privilege of holding in my hand, between glass, one of the copies he penned. Some years ago, a very pleasant curator of the Lincoln collection at the Illinois State Historical Library gave me a private tour of the collection which ended with him getting their copy of the Gettysburg Address out of their vault and showing it to me. According to the Library of Congress website, "the copy for Edward Everett, the orator who spoke at Gettysburg for two hours prior to Lincoln, is at the Illinois State Historical Library in Springfield", so I may have held this copy. It would have been great to make it to Gettysburg and see a renactment of the speech on this occasion, but it didn't work out. It is too bad there is so little about this in the media, especially in the History Channels of the world, where one would expect to hear a much about it. Rex Murphy, in the National Post, recently wrote that what Lincoln said remains a "perfect miracle of public utterance". As I stated in my book, "in his speeches and proclamations, Abraham Lincoln did quote Scripture more than any other President in history, as he led the United States through the worst crisis of its existence. The words that inspired the war-torn nation, echoed and still echo with the power and the beauty of the King James Bible."
Why does the Gettysburg Address continue to have such an impact among people in America and around the world? I suggest that this speech, like President Abraham Lincoln's leadership, was exactly what the trying time, the nation, and the world needed, and still is in need of.
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/gettysburg-address/
Internet debates on Lincoln
I just came across this article in the Catholic Herald entitled,
"No, the Jesuits didn't kill Abraham Lincoln: The Society of Jesus has inspired some of the most bizarre conspiracy theories you will ever read." By Jonathan Wright on Thursday, 11 July 2013. http://www.catholicherald.co.u
It is interesting that it comes out now. I would have finished this blog post to have it posted yesterday, the same day of the article but I was instead working to answer what someone had written about me on the internet.
In this article, Mr Wright managed to speak about a number of things and say essentially nothing about what the title of his article states, how the Jesuits didn't kill Lincoln. He stated, "Back in 2004 I wrote what I regarded, and still regard, as an even-handed history of the Jesuits. I was scrupulous about identifying both the saints and the sinners, and there have been plenty of both over the past five centuries." It would be interesting to know what Johnathan Wright's background/worldview is. Is he an atheist? I somehow doubt he would be. Is he a Roman Catholic? I also doubt he is an evangelical Protestant, who values the Word of God above any Catholic Church tradition. I would imagine he has a worldview that is quite sympathetic to the Church of Rome so I wonder about how even-handed his account is. I should try to get a copy and read it although I am busy enough as it is. I did also come across my name and my book in an debate on the internet and I have been working to answer the relatively outrageous statements made about me. More on that in the coming weeks perhaps.
Civil Liberties from Lincoln to now
With the tragic bombing of the recent Boston marathon, there is talk of curtailing civil liberties in the U.S. Prominent people have called for the remaining bomber to be treated as an enemy combatant.
However Yahoo News has reported that:
"The White House announced Monday that the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, will be tried in federal court for his alleged crimes. Press secretary Jay Carney flatly rebuffed demands from many Republicans that Tsarnaev be designated an "enemy combatant" in order to interrogate him without constitutional safeguards like access to a lawyer." (By Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – Mon, Apr 22, 2013, http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ti
Civil liberties were a consideration for Abraham Lincoln during the US Civil War. His administration suspended the writ of habuis corpus and he was critized for doing so. In an excellent September 11, 2012 interview through C-SPAN, historian Elizabeth Leonard pointed out that Lincoln basically said, should I protect one law, and at the same time have the whole nation collapse? (http://www.c-spanvideo.org/pr
This was also a consideration when trying those involved in the conspiracy to murder Lincoln and other high ranking government officials. Eight, including Mary Surrratt, were tried in the summer of 1865 by a military tribunal. This has been critized from that time up to today but I believe it was entirely proper. As I point out in my book, at the time of the 16th President's murder, the United States was still at war. The last battle of the Civil War was fought at Palmito Hills, Texas by southern troops who were unaware of Lee's surrender more than a month earlier. It wasn't until August of 1866 that President Johnson proclaimed the insurrection to be at an end in the last of the Secessionist states, Texas. There were other good reasons for the trial by military commission.
John Surratt was finally caught and brought to trial two years after Lincoln's assassination, after being sheltered by Catholic officials and in Catholic institutions. Charles Chiniquy essentially said that, like what happened to him, there was a Catholic plan to pack the jury and tamper with justice and there is good evidence that happened with Surratt. In her book, The Assassin's Accomplice: Mary Surratt and the Plot to Kill Abraham Lincoln, Kate Clifford Larson declared: "much more evidence was introduced shedding light on the extensiveness of the conspiracy, as well as new details about Mary's complicity in it. But despite the new evidence, John's case ended in a mistrial – the civilian jury was packed with Southern sympathizers." Yes, southern sympathizers – read Catholics.Elizabeth Leonard was a historical consultant of the Redford Lincoln film on Mary Surratt and she and I corresponded regarding this movie. Her input was apparently ignored by Redford and she does not have high regard for this film, a view I share.
Letter to the editor exchange ended after criticism of myself by another letter writer
Re: N. R. Ward's Oct 12 letter. Mr. Ward writes from a position of relative ignorance, I suggest. I researched Charles Chiniquy's claims over a period of twenty-two years in libraries, archives, etc, across the U.S.and found no significant mistakes. His papers include an 1885 letter from Robert Todd Lincoln, who declared that he was his father's best friend. I also discovered that Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who headed the official US government investigation into Lincoln's murder, and who effectively ran the United States in the days after the assassination, believed the murder was the result of a Catholic plot.
Regarding whether Chiniquy and Stanton were right, whether it's relevant today and what's "disingenuous", one thinks of Robert Redford's 2011 movie, The Conspirator. It concerns Mary Surratt, a devout Catholic, who became the first woman ever executed by the U.S. government, for her participation in the conspiracy to murder Lincoln. I suggest Surratt remains an embarrassment to the Catholic Church. Funded by a Jesuit educated millionaire, I believe this explains why the movie the public widely saw portrayed her as innocent while the historians consulted for the movie, and a feature length documentary, said she was guilty.
Mr. Ward, are you foolish enough to think you know better than the only remaining member of Lincoln's immediate family in 1885, as to who his friends were? Do you really think you know better than Edwin Stanton, as to who was ultimately responsible?
My findings are published in a book entitled, Who Killed Abraham Lincoln? You should get one and see if you can find some historical mistakes. The US Parks Service who run Ford's Theatre bookstore which rejected Bill O'Reilly's book, Killing Lincoln, haven't found anything wrong with my work.
Honest Abe's Canadian Friend- National Post letter
My letter was printed in the National Post this weekend. Below is my portion. And here is the link for reference http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2012/10/12/todays-letters-freedom-of-speech-for-all-even-pastor-terry-jones/
"Conrad Black penned an accurate and complimentary portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Many, however, do not know that there is an important Canadian connection to this towering American figure.
Lincoln's best friend, according to his oldest son, was a citizen of Canada. A high-profile Catholic priest, Charles Chiniquy persuaded roughly half of Quebec to give up drinking in the mid-19th century before accepting an invitation to go to Illinois to establish a French-Canadian Catholic colony, where he met Lincoln.
Chiniquy however, later committed the crime of leaving the Catholic Church and becoming an extremely effective critic of this religious organization. Though world famous in his lifetime, memories of him have been carefully suppressed by the mainstream media."
Paul Serup, Prince George, B.C.,
The Conspirator and Joe Ricketts
So Joe Ricketts bankrolls a movie about Mary Surratt. "The Conspirator," recounted the story of Mary Surratt, the only woman charged in the plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. Directed by Robert Redford, "The Conspirator" was released in 2011. The movie alleges that Mrs. Surratt, the devout Catholic who holds the distinction of being the first woman ever executed by the US government, was really innocent. I believe she remains an embarrassment for the Roman Catholic Church today, so why would Mr. Ricketts bankroll this movie? Could it be that he is a Roman Catholic and he wants to help out his church? He certainly was educated Catholic, getting a degree from Creighton University at Omaha, Nebraska. According to the institution, "Creighton is a Jesuit university, rooted in the Catholic tradition. At Creighton we live this mission are guided by our identity". Interesting.
What remains amazing about this film is that is the first movie by Rickett's American Film Company and therefore according to the company's mission statement, would "accurately portray extraordinary characters and events from American history". The two DVD set comes with the movie on one DVD and also a feature-length documentary "The Conspirator: The Plot to Kill Lincoln" on the other one. The movie that the vast majority of the viewing public would have seen asserts that Mary Surratt was innocent, yet on the documentary, all the historical experts that were used as consultants for the film said she was guilty.
One of the historians consulted by the filmmakers was distinguished historian Elizabeth D. Leonard, John J. and Cornelia V. Gibson Professor of History and Chair of the department atColbyCollege. Ms. Leonard is also the co-winner of the 2012 Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize. On the UNC Press Civil War 150 site, she made very interesting comments on the movie.
Professor Leonard stated: "My own experience of having most of my advice be dismissed by the filmmakers indicates to me that they had their own agenda, which overrode all other considerations about historical accuracy." Fascinating. She also expressed her "concern that the emphasis on Stanton and Holt's apparent malice and steely manipulation seems to crowd out any real possibility that Mary Surratt, who is depicted, in contrast, as a pious and long-suffering mother, was rightly found guilty!" You can visit here for a full review: http://uncpresscivilwar150.com/2011/05/elizabeth-d-leonard-a-historians-review-of-the-conspirator/
Yes, unfortunately there appears to be an interest in smearing the memory of the great patriot, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, to try to excuse Mary Surratt's actions and depict her as being innocent but it is, of course, not based on historical fact.
Lincoln Vampire Hunter- Give it a miss if you like history
A couple of days ago, I went to see Abraham Lincoln – Vampire Hunter, as it was in my hometown. I had been interviewed by the CBC Radio Daybreak North (B.C.) show about the movie last week so I thought I would view it so at least if I was asked about it again I could answer with personal knowledge of the movie.
I went with a friend who described the show as a colossal waste of time. I have a hard time disagreeing with that. At the 5 pm screening we attended, there was a total of six of us in the theatre for the showing.
This was July 3rd though, some time after originally opened. I found it to be quite violent and gory at times. You could also make the case that it trivializes this extremely important time in American and world history and the sacrifices that were made, including the deaths of more than 600,000 Americans. As we left the theatre, I had the thought that hopefully, the people who have seen the show came away with the question, "it obviously wasn't about vampires, now what was the Civil War really all about?".
Is Charles Chiniquy relevant for today?
Who is Charles Chiniquy?
He died more than a hundred and ten years ago and most people in Canada and the United States have never heard of him. Why would he be relevant today? He continues however, to have significance and the events that he lived through and were part of remain a subject of great interest to Americans, Canadians and others around the world.
The curator of the Lincoln Collection, Dr. James Cornelius, who I interviewed in 2008, contacted me last year and updated the amount of titles on Abraham Lincoln. He said that he had re-analyzed the amount of imprints on Abraham Lincoln and now gave the amount of titles on Lincoln at about 17,000. An average of more than a hundred books a year on the 16th President since his death, so the ongoing interest is amazing!
We are now in the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Civil War.In June, 1862, events of the Civil War included the great general Gen Robert E. Lee taking command of the Confederate army. Lee took command as the battle of Seven Pines/Fair Oaks in Virginia continued. The battle of Memphis was a victory for the Union Navy. Confederate cavalryman Jeb Stuart rode completely around McClellan's army, which was gathering around Richmond. Stuart gained important information with only one of his men killed.
There is also strong evidence that Canadian Charles Chiniquy, (born in Quebec, died in Quebec), was President Lincoln's best friend. Chiniquy became world famous during his lifetime and was also an extremely effective critic of the Roman Catholic Church so it is not surprising that people are still commenting on him and attempting to dismiss him and what he said. Over the next blog posts, I plan to examine a recent article criticizing the celebrated clergyman and also look at the Conspirator, the 2010 movie on the Lincoln assassination directed by Robert Redford. I have significant problems with it, as do serious American historians.
Although it came out last year, it is still relatively new and relevant. I have the 2 disc DVD and perhaps will get the Blu-Ray edition. As other productions appear, including a movie on Lincoln directed by Stephen Spielberg, to be released next year, the Conspirator's portrayal of the extremely important events that were the Lincoln assassination and aftermath, are still worth a close, careful examination. There is much to look at as we move through the 150th anniversary of the events of the Civil War and toward the sesquicentennial of the murder of America's greatest President.

THE CLAIM These natural skin treatments ($20/2; dairyface.com) contain fresh, food-grade dairy cultures, organic milk fats, and probiotics, plus oils and herbs that hydrate and soothe the complexion. There are five kinds that can be used on the face or body, made without essential oils to avoid potential irritation. "After using one of these masks, skin doesn't need a moisturizer," says Dairyface founder Oksana Panasenko.
EXPERT OPINION "This mask is a star," says Dr. Fusco, who often recommends cold-milk compresses to her patients. "Milk's low pH and lactic acid help calm inflamed skin," she explains. After using the eye creme, she says, "my undereyes were tighter, so it's good for puffiness." And the probiotics in all Dairyface natural formulas can help balance skin bacteria.
OUR VERDICT We were tempted to put a spoon in this chilly, creamy stuff, but we slathered it on and endured the yogurty smell for 20 minutes. Afterward, our tester couldn't believe how soft, plump, and hydrated her face was. The only downside: remembering to keep it refrigerated. At $20 for a two-pack, you don't want it to spoil.Read MoreLess

Max is the 1st in our list & it is a firm favorite among cat as well as dog owners. It is of Latin origin & means the greatest.
2nd place goes to Lucky which is of English origin & means fortunate. Normally, this name is given to pets who have been saved & given a 2nd chance of a better life.
Oscar gets the 3rd place. The word is of Gaelic origin & means lover of deer.
In 4th we have Toby which means heavens of the Lord & is of Hebrew origin.
Tom is the 5th most popular choice. It is a great and simple choice for whichever pet and is too of Hebrew origin.
Rocky has got the 6th position. While this name remains a great selection for all kinds of pets, it in fact means well-known ruler & is of Tentonic origin.
Pepper is the 7th in this list. It is of English origin.
In the Gremlins movie, Gizmo was the cute creature. It comes in at 8th place. Even though Gizmo is in reality a gadget & originates from America, majority of the individuals pick it from the film.
Bailey gets 9th place. Coming from Mid-English the word truly means Bailiff. It's unsure that when folks choose common boy cat names for & pick Bailey they recognize what it actually stands for.
In 10th place comes Dusty. Dusty is actually a reduced form or nickname of Dustin & is of British origin. You will find that brown cats are regularly called Dusty because of their dusty look.
When your new cat reaches home & before selecting male cat names, it is good to first know your new kittens behaviors and traits before calling them with a name which does not relate to their nature at all.
Just like there is no wrong method to eat a Reese's, there is no wrong method to pick a male cat name. You may pick from boy names encouraged by superstars, historic figures, & the lively personalities of kittens the world over. You could also find some quite clever & exceptional male names, taken from literature & pop culture in addition to cultural traditions & interesting languages. Whatever is your style, you're sure to find the most suitable name for the newest member in your family. The above guide will help you determine your pet-naming style, & offer some suggestions in each of them.

Live Blogging from GDC Austin - Reaching A New Demographic: Kids AND Their Parents
Alright! This is my first attempt at live blogging. I'm excited, and waiting for the session to begin. It's so cold in this room, my hands are shivering and it's hard to type. But this session should be great! It's Reaching a New Demographic: Kids AND Their Parents with Jesse Schell, Laralyn McWilliams, Matthew Schwartz, Megan Geiser and Sheri Graner Ray. The only name I recognize there is Jesse Schell, the author of the excellent book, The Art of Game Design. It's the most useful book on the topic I've ever read. I'm looking forward to "meeting" the other panelists!
I'm very interested to see what they have to say. 'Kids and Their Parents' is far from a new demographic for me, because Sesame Street has been serving this demo for 40 years. They write episodes to encourage co-viewing between kids and parents, so parents can talk to kids about what they've seen, and thereby increase the learning. It also gives kids another opportunity to have a shared experience with mom or dad. And what kid doesn't want mom or dad to spend more time with them? But Sesame Street is TV. Games are different. Similar in some ways, but still different. More active and engaging. Requires more participation. You can't knit or catch up on email and play a game with your kids at the same time. And to enjoy a game, both parents and kids should be challenged, not simply entertained. So here we go with the session!
11:03 am : Sheri Graner Ray is moderating. Been in industry since 1989, has worked on arcade games and MMOs. Asking panelists to share something about themselves that's not in their bio.
Laralyn McWilliams has worked on Over the Hedge, Lilo & Stitch, Fear & Respect with John Singleton! Creative Director for Free Realms.
Margaret Wallace - online virtual worlds, virtual pets. CEO, Founder, Rebel Monkey, Playmatics
Matthew Schwartz - Cartoon Network's Fusion Fall, at CN since 2000, film and TV background, once bought Michael Bolton album on purpose
Jesse Schell - Disney Virtual Reality, teaches at Carnegie Mellon, owns game development company, first movie in theatre was Fritz the Cat.
11:07am : Where does parents and kids playing together work well?
Jesse: Theme park design! You have to design things for both parents and kids. Has been shown to work very well.
Laralyn: Console games, kids play, parents watch and comment. Parents enjoy watching and being involved that way.
Jesse: Club Disney failure, Chuck E Cheese style for parents and kids to play together. Games didn't work unless kids played together (needed short and tall player, etc). Parents didn't like it though, they wanted to watch. Kids were left to play these games by themselves, and they couldn't.
Matthew: Traditional board games. Parents are active and involved.
Laralyn: Up until age 5 or 6, parents help kids. 6 and 7, play together. 7 and 8, parents expect kids to play on their own. (because kids beat at games parents at that point?)
Margaret: Generation shift too. Today's parents are more computer savvy than our parents were. Parents today are not as hesitant to play. Learning curve is not as steep as it used to be.
11:15am : Why is this demographic important?
Jesse: It is children's job to play. Long term entertainment properties are things that people want to pass on to their kids.
Margaret: Lego Star Wars - retro feel, parents love both Legos and Star Wars.
Jesse: Kids are honest. If it appeals to them, it must be solid.
How important is teaching?
Margaret: Learning is a natural process (YES I AGREE!) Games like World of Warcraft develop leadership skills. (leading a guild) 10 year old plays Medeval 2 and Age of Empires and loves history, learns through the game.
Laralyn: Are you making the game the parents want kid to play, or the game kids want to play? Do you allow chat feedback to be negative? Kids don't like games that feel like school. Kid should not be embarrassed to talk about your game to friends at school.
Margaret: It's tough, we're still working it out.
Matthew: <18 year olds don't have credit cards, so you must appeal to parents on some level.
11:20am : How do you handle competition in the game? Do kids and parents compete together, or against each other?
Matthew: Boys like to show off, show mastery. Look at it in comparison to other scenarios, like teaching them tennis.
Laralyn: Levelling up is a great reward that everyone can attain as they make their own personal progress. (GREAT POINT!)
Jesse: It's rare when parents can work together and have a shared victory. When you can create that moment, it's really special. (ANOTHER GREAT THOUGHT!)
Matthew: When the game requires someone to lose, you're going to punish somebody. You get tired of running the race if you're going to keep losing.
11:25am : Reward systems?
Jesse: Webkinz cash - Kids couldn't win the Webkinz cash, so parents would say "Go clean your room, I'll play the game and earn Webkinz cash for you." You must ask, how does this game fit into a family? ToonTown, actually mailed trading cards to families in the mail. Parents keep the subscription on monthly bill, so to keep them paying, you must let them know that their kids are engaged and they're using it. Every month, when they get something in the mail, the parent gets to witness the excitement they might not see if kid was only playing computer game on his own.
Margaret: Star Doll - Moms and kids use it together, moms are the moderators on the site.
Laralyn: Reward things you wouldn't think of rewarding (logins, registration) See gaia (sp?) Reward people for socializing.
Matthew: Reward based on attendance, if you log in every day of the week, you get currency. (Cited Korean game example, but not by name.)
11:31am : How do you design for kids and parents together?
Laralyn: Free Realms- reward activities equally, and they are all optional. Let people do what they want to do naturally. Things parents could do to help kids, and things kids could do on their own. Creating a space for parents and kids to play together is not enough. Chat is not possible with COPPA compliance.
11:34am : How does age of child affect parent/kid play?
Jesse: Big factor, child is always growing and changing. Age 7, age of wisdom and reason, kid can think for himself. Influenced by other kids at school. Edu software is great until this age because kids are no longer doing just what parents want them to do / play with. They want what friends say is cool. Brain growth and development is important. Age 10 is an untapped parent/kid game market because kids at this age like to explore things in depth, and parents want to help them explore that. (GREAT TIP!)
Margaret: Future Lab study shows younger kids like puzzle games and adventure, then boys age into shooters, etc. Girls stay with puzzles. Anecdote of Dora on PS2 easier for 3 year old than PC games.
Laralyn: Usability studies are important. Kids under 10 use arrow keys in games not mouse. Right hand on arrow keys, when click is necessary, they reach left hand over to hit button on mouse. Using just a few keys in your game is ideal.
Matthew: Boys at 12 get hyper sensitive about things getting too kiddy. Though they may secretly like it, such as Powerpuff Girls. They would never admit to liking it, but they would watch it.
Laralyn: Skewed difficulty for Lilo and Stitch game for boys 10-13, but they said it was too easy. They want to die a lot, because they think that is an indicator of challenge. They aspire to first person shooter games for adults.
Jesse: Kids lie to researchers about their habits. (IT'S TRUE! I'VE SEEN IT TOO!) They will report play habits that are not accurate. "I play this. I don't play that." Often, they are not reporting accurately.
Margaret: Art style is important. Things that you think look like teenagers, teens will not like. They want avatars that look like 20-somethings. (SAD, BUT ALSO TRUE!)
11:44am : How to encourage development in this demo?
Jesse: It's rare, so it's great not to have competition! Everyone else, stay away! (HAHA!)
Matthew: I disagree! We need the Pixar and Miyazaki of games!
Laralyn: Figure out communication. Dad may be overseas, parents may be divorced. Enable play together when you are not in the same location. Think of troubled kids, disabled kids and their parents. (GREAT POINT!) Add rewards to free form game play, like online "hanging out". They play separate games and then come together and hang out, check out rewards and gear, etc. Watch what parents and kids do together when they hang out in real life. They talk together more than any action.
Jesse: So many forces in life pull kids and parents apart. Less cross gender toys -> siblings play together less. Parents work longer hours.
Margaret: Industry does not encourage this demo because it is risky. How about games that let parents and kids play when parent is traveling on business!
11:52am : Open Questions - my logging gets lazy from this point out. Here are snippets I thought were interesting.
Matthew: Kids don't want virtual friends, they want to interact with their real life friends online.
All: Kid communication is very challenging to track in online systems, and COPPA makes it difficult to allow kids to talk.
Laralyn: Club Penguin makes you sign up with a parent's email address. Free Realms figured kids would lie about their age to get more features. What they've observed is that kids under 13 are honest about it and playing their character even with the limitations. So you must design to let those kids feel fulfilled in the game.
Matthew: Kids are taught not to give any personal information, even gender.
12:03pm : That's a wrap! Thanks for a great session! Lesson learned from live blogging: Don't change your post title halfway through, it will break the link you posted on Twitter. ;)

The eyes may be the window to the soul, but eye exams can offer insight into a person's overall health. In this edition of Wellness, YNN's Jill Urban explains the importance of eye health.
"During an eye exam I look at blood vessels in the back of the eye and the state of those blood vessel,s and what they look like tell me what the blood vessels are doing in other organs of the body like the heart, the lungs, the kidneys, the liver," explained Dr. Robert Cykiert.
Dr. Cykiert said your eye doctor may be the one to discover a serious problem before symptoms arise. For example, six years ago, Gloria Lapin went in for a routine eye exam. She was quickly rushed to the emergency room with a life threatening issue.
"The doctor discovered flaking from my corroded artery which were circulating in areas dangerously close to the brain which might cause a stroke," recalled Lapin. "He recommended we go immediately to the hospital. We did so and surgery was done the following day and was highly successful."
During an eye exam, Dr. Cykiert suspected another patient had a tumor on his brain. The doctor was right, and now the patient is undergoing treatment.
"My life has been saved. If I didn't go through this diagnosis, I might not be here right now," said the patient.
Dr. Cykiert said tumors and strokes are just a few of the things that can be detected during an eye exam.
"There are many diseases and conditions that can be picked up from an eye exam. For example, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. Occasionally, I can pick up brain tumors, leukemia. I have picked up infections in the blood, all from an eye exam," noted Dr. Cykiert.
Many people only visit an eye doctor when they notice a change in their vision. However, Dr. Cykiert suggests having your eyes checked every other year when you're younger than 40. If you are older than 40, he suggests an annual eye exam.
So if you haven't been for an exam, now may be a good time to schedule one.

Parenthood Review: Zeek's Soulful Journeyby Carissa Pavlica at . Comments
One of the things that makes Parenthood so amazing is that you don't have to be a parent to enjoy it. You merely need to have some experience with a family environment. "Road Trip" made that perfectly clear, as there was something for everyone to identify with, no matter your familial role.
It never even dawned on me that Zeek might still have a living parent, but his unsupportive and condescending mother seems to be chugging along. So great was their rift that she was a virtual unknown to the grandkids and Joel.
It was really hard to watch Zeek struggle with his anxiety in anticipation of seeing his mother. I can remember seeing my dad cry when his own dad died, and it was like seeing this rock crumble. Feelings I didn't think he could have came out of nowhere. That's what I was seeing in Zeek. He was completely out of his element.
His mom was turning 86, and had recently had a fall. Obviously it was weighing on his mind that she might not be around much longer, and his desperate need for her approval drove him to put together a last-minute family road trip to see her. He packed up a $900 chair as a birthday gift, roused the troops, handed out walkie talkies (one per car, mission control communication only) and off they went.
Can you imagine introducing a more wonderful family to your mother? As his inner turmoil increased, he finally laid the blame of it at the feet of his family and ended up ditching them. Despite their initial desire to turn around, they all showed up to celebrate Grandma Blanche's birthday. But, in the end, it wasn't enough. Zeek finally had to come to the realization that he might never have from his mother what he needed: the knowledge of her love.
Zeek wanted to show her the very best thing he had done in his life, the warm and wonderful Braverman clan. She couldn't quite comprehend the enormity of his accomplishment. But she did tell him, finally, that she loved him. Something he said to his own children as often as he could so they would never be left with the question he had of his own mother's love. I cried.
Two other items of note:
- Max called Kristina a bitch. Not just once, and with a ferocity I found alarming. Her punishment was to banish him from the road trip. You can imagine how much this upset Zeek's applecart, but Adam had to support her in following through on discipline, lest Max learn that it is always a false threat. Max did a lot to make up for the mistake and Kristina flew them to Blanche's. One of the best scenes of the episode was between Zeek and Kristina once she arrived, as she shared with him how blessed she was to be a part of the family.
- Just a quickie, seriously. Drew walked in on Mark and Sarah having sex and it was so uncomfortable and icky and yet they dealt with it in a really understandable way. I just hope it doesn't happen every week!
Frankly, I know the depth of this episode escapes my review, but I am unable, in timely fashion, to gather my thoughts and eloquently state how much it meant to me. There was something so elemental in Zeek's yearning for his mother's approval. To ensure she saw and understood the breadth of his achievement. It was subtle and incredibly moving. Just another week with the Bravermans.

What a treat. It crosses all generations. Love all the actors.
Max definitey deserves an award. He's an amazing actor. Every one
is perfect in the role they play. Keep up the great story lines.
This is without a doubt one of my FAVORITE shows. My 26 yr old daughter likes it as well. It is multi-generational. I, also, feel it is a very real show. Crosby is my least favorite character as he always seems to be carried by the rest of the family. Great angst. Great joy. All emotions that comprise great families.
Love Love LOVE THIS SHOW! In my opinion, it's the best show on all of television, regular or cable channels. I don't agree with the woman above who said Christina is always a bitch -- IMO she and Adam are the best part of the show -- but to each their own. I was so SO glad she put her foot down with Max! He does get away with an awful lot, due to his disability. When I saw the bug card, I knew they would arrive at Grandma's before Adam and the others :-)) Just as I knew the recliner would be stolen when Zeke was in the bathroom :grin: I Laugh Out Loud many times during this show, every week, and last night cried a couple of times too. I can empathize with Zeek, not feeling like you're good enough. Anyway, I WISH the people that gave out awards would look past the shows that get nominated every year and OPEN THEIR EYES!! This is the BEST SHOW ON TV. I'm hoping hoping hoping that more people will realize it and start watching every week!
Last night's episode was so, so good! I laughed and laughed because I recognized my family & others. I felt so sorry for Zeek and his anxiety with seeing his mother again. I cried when they had their conversation outside, and she told him that she loved him. That generation did not say, "I love you," very much. My parents were the same way. I love the Bravermans. I can relate so much to everything they do. I was taken aback, though, when Max, called his mother a bitch. I would not be able to tolerate that at all, but I know that was probably his Aspergers coming out. I look forward to this show every week, and I wish it would get the notoriety it deserves. It's the best show on TV. Keep up the good work.
Awesome episode. Why this show doesn't get more accolades is beyond my comprehension.I snickered when Max called Kristina a bitch. She is.It showed that he had more balls then Adam. It was inappropriate though and he was out of line, however I was still irked with Kristina for picking an inopportune time to put her foot down, mostly because she didn't want to go.she redeemed herself later on w/ Zeek. But she's still one of the most intolerable characters to watch. And I was surprised she expressed that the Braverman family meant so much to her, since she finds a way to not get along with any of them. I felt for Drew,but who hasn't walked in on their parents or somebody "wrestling".some of us more than once. It was fantastic finally seeing Zeek have air time. He's the pivotal character of the series and he's been lacking all season. I felt for him, felt for how unsupportive all but Camille were for a bit, but they made up for it in the end.
This is the best show on TV. I discovered it in the first year and have turned my whole family on to it now. You laugh, you cry, every episode is awesome. I wish more people would discover this gem.
This show never ceases to amaze me. I cannot believe how "real" it is. The whole family traveling, eating
at a restaurant, talking at once, the issues they deal with - I could go on and on. And last night's episode
was one of the best. I hope it stays on for years. It is the best show on television in my opinion.
I actually didn't know there was a new Parenthood last night until I checked my DVR way past my bedtime. Of course I had to stay up to watch it. The lack of sleep was so worth it. It was yet another incredible episode. I love the Bravermans!
For me, this is the best show on TV and the one I look forward to the most. Last night's episode was stellar -- I laughed out loud many times and was just so happy to enjoy this great show. The acting is so amazing... words fail me as to how great Monica Potter is as Kristina -- she simply IS Kristina... frazzled, stressed out and overwhelmed. I have not always been a fan of Crosby and the choices he tends to make, but last night changed that. I just love every member of this family and the actors that portray them -- I don't think you will find better acting anywhere else on TV. Who can say enough about Bonnie Bedelia, Craig T. Nelson, Peter Krause, Mae Whitman, Lauren Graham, Sarah Ramos, and Max Burkholder? And, the oh-so-loveable Jason Ritter of whom we don't get to see enough. Simply amazing!!
You're right Carissa. One of the best things about Parenthood is that you can probably relate to one or more of the characters. I loved that Kristina finally put her foot down with Max. It needed to be done and he obviously learned from it. Adam and Zeke's argument in the bathroom also rang true. As disappointed as Zeke was, I doubt he would have let someone push him around when it came to his family if the roles were reversed. Zeke and Kristina's conversation was another wonderful moment as she reminded him what a special family he'd made. And I even loved Crosby as he stood up and took the blame for losing grandma's chair. There was so much to love in this episode I don't think I could go one and on.

Dylan Thomcat Vomiting Day Two Now
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 11-27-2012 - 4:37pm
Dylan is an indoor cat exclusively. He never even gets into the garage.
I brought all my houseplants in from the patio the week before Thanksgiving. Over Thanksgiving, I was away and Dylan was confined to "his" room, where there are no plants. Since I returned home and let him out, he kept eating my plants. I yelled, swatted, sprayed with water, and gave up. All planrts have now been removed and put out of his reach. I do own an Arrowhead plant and two 30+-year-old Pothos Ivies. I am thinking his ingestion of plant leaves is what has made him sick.
I have been cleaning up cat puke for two days now. What can I do to help Dylan at this point?
I'm a dog person, and I would be feeding my dogs small quantities of boiled white rice and plain chicken.
I am concerned because cats seldom consume enough water to begin with. Should I give Dylan chiicken broth? Should I give him boiled rice? Would he eat it?

Thank goodness he is able to keep his food down now.
I don't know what it is about some cats wanting to taste everything. I had one that did the same thing. Nothing was safe with her. You can try growing some cat grass for Dylan and see if that helps. Indoor cats usually like to munch on it. I think it's just the way he is and you will just have to be careful when you bring your plants in for the winter. Not sure if it's bordem, curiousity, something new to mess with or what it is with some of them.
|Fri, 11-30-2012 - 6:44am
Gaye I am so glad he is doing better, what a scare!! Hopefully he won't be vomiting anymore.

If you're traveling in a foreign country where you don't speak the language, there are ways you can get by -- from hiring a bilingual translator to downloading a cross-dictionary or a phrasebook app to your smart phone. But even with the best of help, every so often you'll encounter an expression that'll leave you scratching your head. These words or phrases usually aren't literally untranslatable, but are difficult to grasp because they fall into what linguists call a lexical gap, meaning there's no equivalent phrase for them in English.
In some instances, you might understand the phrase's meaning, but not the seemingly nonsensical metaphor the speaker uses to express it; for example, when a German speaker utters the phrase jermandem einen Bären aufbinden, you might not understand that he means someone is lying, since the literal translation of the words is "someone tying up a bear."
In other cases, the meaning itself might be so rooted in an unfamiliar culture that you have difficulty making sense of it. For example, the Inuktitut language, spoken in the Arctic, has numerous words for types of snow: Autturunniq describes snow that's been pressed, melted and re-frozen; atairranaqtuq denotes snow that makes a crunching sound when someone steps in it; and ikumaliniq is snow stained by soot from a torch or fire inside a structure, according to the Inuktitut Living Dictionary.
Here are five of our favorite difficult-to-comprehend expressions.
5: Mamihlapinatapei
You may hear this expression from speakers of the Yagan language, which is indigenous to the Tierra del Fuego, an Argentine province on the southernmost tip of South America. It expresses such a complex scenario that the book of Guinness World Records designates it as the most succinct word in any language. Yet it's so puzzling to English speakers that it's been looked up more than 2,500 times at the dictionary Web site Wordnik.com, which, by the way, doesn't offer a definition and notes that the word is not acceptable for use in Scrabble.
While Mamihlapinatapei has been translated several different ways in English, it seems the consensus is that it describes a wordless, yet meaningful, glance shared by two individuals who both desire to initiate something, but are reluctant to actually start.
4: Hyggelig
The Danish word hyggelig is one of those rare expressions that is truly untranslatable, or at the very least so difficult to explain to foreigners that most Danes are reluctant even to try. When writer Roger Smith, who was visiting the land of Hamlet and Ibsen, asked an acquaintance to translate, she replied: "Oh, hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig - it's hyggelig this, hyggelig that. Everything's hyggelig to us Danes."
Eventually, Smith deduced that the word has something to do with sincerely feeling nice or cozy about something or someone, without an ounce of false polite sentiment.
3: Tumbida koDa tuLukuvudilla
This expression comes from the Kannada language of southern India, and its literal translation is a bit bizarre: "The pot which is full does not splash." The word actually denotes a person who not only is conceited and pompous, but who is even more insufferable -- he or she is unaware that he or she is conceited and pompous, according to the book "Toujours Tingo: More Extraordinary Words to Change the Way We See the World."
2: Hakamaroo
This word, from the Pascuense language of Easter Island, refers to people who are outrageous borrowers of items from neighbors, but who do it as a subtle form of flattery. If you're familiar with the classic comic strip "Blondie," try to imagine Herb constantly borrowing tools from Dagwood and neglecting to return them -- not because he's inconsiderate or absent-minded, but in an effort to express admiration for his friend and regular bowling companion.
With hakamaroo, one borrows things and deliberately refuses to give them back, until the owner demands them. Easter Islanders have another related word, tingo, which means to continually borrow things from a person, until you've accumulated all of their possessions and there is nothing left, according to the book "They Have a Word for It."
1: Ilunga
In 2004, BBC News reported that this word, from the Tshiluba language spoken in the southeastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, was the most difficult to translate word on the planet, based on a poll of 1,000 linguists. Part of the problem is that the meaning of ilunga is a bit arcane and complicated, even for native speakers. It essentially means "a person who is ready to forgive any abuse the first time, to tolerate it a second time, but never a third time," according to BBC News.

Carrie Prejean Ready To Sue Pornographers If They Release Sex Tape
Vivid Entertainment has acquired the solo sex tape Carrie Prejean made for a boyfriend, and hopes to distribute it commercially. The porn company has offered the former Miss California $1 million for the rights to release the film, but despite her refusal, there seems to be some concern the footage will hit the market just the same. Prejean's lawyer has sent a letter warning Vivid that they will be sued if they release the tape. Excerpt from XBiz.com:
"[W]e are writing at this time to inform you that the unauthorized use of any videotapes or photographs of my client will result in her suing for invasion of privacy, including misappropriation of her likeness for a commercial purpose, as well as public disclosure of private facts," Prejean's attorney wrote to Vivid co-chairman Steve Hirsch. "She will also sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress and seek full consequential and punitive damages."
It's odd to agree with the bigoted beauty queen about anything, but we are totally with her on this one. Releasing the tape would be a disgusting violation of privacy.

Totally Radical! 10 Treats from the 1990s You Used to Love
M.C. Hammer pants, C + C Music Factory, Nintendo, neon biking shorts. Are we bringing back fond memories of the 1990s? It's not just the mention of fashion and music that can make you reminisce about the last decade in the twentieth century. There are definitely some '90s-era foods that will elicit recognition. We're looking back at a few of the 1990s' most beloved treats, from Laffy Taffy and Poprocks to Capri Sun and the shortlived but glorious Crystal Pepsi. Take a trip down memory lane with us and yes, you must dress appropriately!
Still feeling nostalgic? Check out these fun, vintage lunchboxes from way back when, and get a load of some of our favorite retro candy.
By Sahara Borja
Jawbreakers, also known as gobstoppers, are exactly what they sound like hard, tough balls made of sugar that are impossible to bite into. Although the little ones were cute, they, too, could wreak havoc on your teeth. The huge jawbreakers were impossible to work through in less than a few hours. Most children gnawed on their jawbreakers, waiting for them to get smaller and smaller. This candy was best for the patient child (some children are patient, right?). The rest of us just had to pretend to be patient or give up and move onto something easier, like Gummy Bears.

"Instead of enchilada sauce I used 2 cans of cheddar cheese soup and added a dash of taco seasoning to spice it up. It was delicious! This will become a regular in our house."
