Don;t give it away, just give us the Windows 7 start menu back.
I am positive Windows 8 will be a flop until they put back the old start menu. The 3rd party replacements are not as good.
Apple was bold and brought out the Launchpad for OSX. This was a similar departure as is the Windows 8 start menu. But guess what, nobody uses it and fortunately it is not the default mode. But they didn't remove the Applications menu. If they did as Win 8, there would be a lot of unhappy Apple bunnies.
Awesome story! For an NT a best mans speech is a major stress event, so as an aspie you must've nearly exploded. You are brilliant.
See my earlier post. Many see aspergers as a positive. A great number of exceptionally talented people have aspergers. I have met some. I am not a doctor, but my advice would be to learn about it and find & focus on the positives.
Excellent article. I think HRs political correctness was misguided.
There are many aspies in IT, esp. programming, as you mentioned, it is generally a safer place where you can immerse yourself and concentrate with less disturbances than other service jobs. I have met a few people who certainly have the traits, so I would not be surprised if they are on the spectrum. Without exception, they are exceptional and very talented. Highly intelligent and very fair. Of course, their social skills are not great.
I read a book, The Complete Gulde to Aspergers, which is a very good, yet complex book by Tony Attwood. Interestingly, he said that when he first diagnoses an aspie, he says congratulations. Aspies are typically far more talented that NTs.
Well, as someone who just spent 2 hours rewriting some code that it took some Indians 2 days to write really badly, I can say that CSC as likely to be burnt. If they are outsourcing software development to India, good luck to them!
Well I have been battling for 3 weeks to get my phone (Orbit2) upped from 128K to HSDPA speeds. I have had around 10 calls with O2 and they have called me back numerous times to say "your provisioning is being upped from 5 to 6 and will be active in the next 72 hours". It seems customer services does not speak to the network services department, or more like the network department ignores customer services emails. I pay £35/month and nothing has happened, except I've hung on the phone for 30 minutes at a time. It's like the old days of NTL-Hell. If I could return my phone and shift to Vodaphone I'd do it tomorrow. O2 are not good enough for data.

Mekki Agree's New Deal
Aldershot Town have announced that midfielder Adam Mekki has signed a new deal.
Aldershot Town Football Club are delighted to announce that winger Adam Mekki has signed a new deal to keep him at the club until the end of the 2013/14 season.
The 20 year old originally joined the club in the summer of 2006 and has progressed through the youth ranks before making his Football League debut versus Macclesfield Town at the EBB Stadium in February 2011.
This season Adam has progressed after further development to his career through a loan spell at Blue Square Conference South side Basingstoke Town. He has become a prominent member of the squad since his return featuring in the recent record breaking run of six successive Football League victories as Aldershot have won nine of their last 13 matches.
Enthused by his commitment to the club Adam told Premium Shots,"This was an easy decision. Dean Holdsworth has been a massive influence for me. He is the one who has had faith in me and put me into the team. He sent me out on loan to develop my career and that was the right decision as well. To break into the first team now the timing couldn't have been better.
"The youth department at the club should take great credit too. It is a good system and a stable system to come through as a young player. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the upbringing that I have had. It has come on massively since I first came through the ranks and hopefully it will carrying on developing more players to come through the system to benefit Aldershot Town."
Manager Dean Holdsworth added, "Adam enjoys being here and that is important. When I first came to the club he was out on loan but his potential was evident. I could recognise his talent and if he continues to learn and work hard then he has a great future in the game. We have worked on him and coached him well and he is infectious around the club too.
"He is learning very quickly in the game because he is a threat and this is excellent news for Aldershot Town Football Club."

Attunity Posts 72% Growth In Q3; Amazon Partnership Forges Ahead 1 comment
This morning, Attunity (NASDAQ:ATTU) posted 72% year over year growth for the third quarter ended September 30. Net income increased to a profit of $43,000 compared to a loss of ($792,000) for the same period last year.
The recent months have been highlighted by several new strategic relationship wins with Big Data giants like Teradata (NYSE:TDC), Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), EMC (NYSE:EMC), and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). These relationships continue to lay the foundation for Attunity's future growth in the fast-growing Big Data market. This was evident in the company's guidance for Q4 which calls for record revenue and profit.
In addition, on the earnings call, CEO Shimon Alon stated that the EMC relationship has already begun bearing fruit, with a large booking in Europe. He also stated that the company's relationship with Oracle yielded a win where one of Oracle's own units was the competition.
Just ahead of the earnings release, Attunity also announced that its cloud platform for Amazon Web Services (AWS) has moved from private beta into public beta, bringing its relationship with Amazon one step closer to contributing to the top line. The company also launches new cloud services, enabling customers to upload to cloud and replication between cloud regions on Amazon's AWS.
Net-net, it was been an eventful quarter for the company. It now enters its seasonally strongest period of the year (Q4 and Q1) with significant momentum and a number of new relationships that promise to contribute to revenue growth in 2013 and beyond.

Jerry Davich: Ice bucket challenge dumps cold memories on one ALS survivor
JERRY DAVICH August 29, 2014 5:50PM
Robert Ordway and his father, Doug Ordway, center, who died in 2003 from ALS. | Photo provided
Article Extras
Updated: October 1, 2014 6:10AM
Have you watched enough of the impossible-to-miss ALS ice bucket challenges?
It seems everyone and their grandmother has done the once-novel and now-trendy fundraising challenge for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. I wonder if Lou Gehrig himself would have done it, too. Somehow, I don't think so.
As you know, millions of good-hearted Americans have dumped a bucket of icy water over their heads while being video recorded. Beforehand, each one "nominates" three other people to do the same thing within 24 hours or donate $100 (or both) to the ALS fund. They then post that video on social media for viral grins and giggles.
It's been an overwhelming win-win situation for everyone involved, including the drenched participants, a country starved for happy news and, most important, ALS fundraising efforts — with donations reaching more than a zillion dollars, or so it seems.
So much so that I'm convinced fundraiser organizers for other fatal diseases and debilitating conditions are pulling out their hair to replicate the amazingly successful "ice bucket challenge" for their own charity efforts.
Americans love nothing more than dousing themselves with a viral-friendly and good-intentioned fad that's all the rage and joking about it at work the next day before — poof! — it becomes the "Macarena" and they soon forget about it. But ah, the icy-fun memories during a hot summer, right?
Plus, this ice bucket challenge offers a certain measure of social currency for participants, meaning it gives them a sense of value and purpose while being a part of something much larger than themselves. Humans love that. We always have.
Many of us call this church. It's our latest "third place" experience.
Not everyone who did the challenge, though, came away feeling all warm and fuzzy for their efforts. For some participants, such as Robert Ordway of Valparaiso, the challenge and its pop culture ripples have poured icy-cold memories over their heads.
"From age 13 to 18 was the most challenging time of my life," Ordway told me after recording a heartfelt challenge in honor of his father. (You can watch the video on his Facebook page.)
"The disease causes caregivers to learn how to suppress and repress all emotional connections because the loss is so great. We don't want to experience it ever again. The longer the disease, the more one has to temper, harden and ultimately eradicate their own emotions."
Ordway's father, Doug Ordway, died of ALS in 2003 after a five-year grueling, unforgettable and ultimately futile battle. Robert, a high school student at the time, was his primary caregiver.
"The ice bucket challenge is so important because patients can't vocalize their need, and there is no survival rate. For family like myself, the emotional and psychological pain is so great and long lasting — like a war vet — it's something we just don't talk about. Ever."
But, he added, "For just a brief moment in time, an obscure but deadly disease is finally getting the recognition it deserves and I know the funding will be spent wisely."
This touches on a chilly aspect regarding the challenge and its wealth of heartwarming donations. Many Americans, myself included, have legitimate concerns over where all that money is going and whose pocket it's going into.
Is it directly helping ALS patients? Not quite. All charitable organizations cost serious money to operate. This is the double-edged reality of such causes. Personally, I forgo donating to charities at the national level and instead ask for a local person I could help directly. If anything, it makes me feel better about my effort to make a real difference.
"My life's work is dedicated to making sure my dad's story is known," said Ordway, who grew up in an 864-square-foot house in Lake Station.
His father was a hard-working millright, a simple man with "Kentuckian values" of honor, integrity, work ethic and respect. "He loved life and lived it to the fullest," Robert said.
Until he could no longer do so.
In 1997, Doug began experiencing bouts of physical weakness and slurring of speech. He was diagnosed with ALS on Robert's 13th birthday.
"As an introverted nerd, my dad was my best friend so I had no one to confide in about the situation," Robert recalled. "It's emotional suppression, then repression at its worst. It leaves you permanently cold, mechanical and calculated. It's the only way someone can function without losing their mind."
Although Robert considered it an honor and privilege to care for his dad until his best friend's death, "the day-to-day battle was a challenge," he said. A lonely challenge, not one filled with ice water, laughs and shared with thousands of others.
"Each morning was a reminder that he was on the fast track to death and I was just an aid to get him there," said Ordway, whose family also cared for Doug. "It was death by 1,000 cuts, with no way out for him. It was psychological terrorism for me."
Doug died on Oct. 15, 2003, while Robert was away at college. Another hard lesson.
"He could have lived longer had he chose a breathing machine," Robert said. "He never had a feeding tube either. He believed no one should see him in that shape. His quality of life was awful."
Our existence often comes down to our quality of life.
Like Doug Ordway, it's a simple term with complex overtones and a fatal outcome for all of us. I've interviewed several people afflicted with ALS and, each time, I came away saddened by their broken body but inspired by their blazing spirit.
Ordway hopes this newfound awareness of ALS doesn't melt away with all those ice cubes, viral videos and trendiness for the latest fad.
"For me, this is about Doug Ordway and his battle with ALS. Anything I can do to educate, inform and spread awareness is a victory for future patients and families."

What began in 1965 as a traveling exhibit from the Jewish Museum in New York transformed into a permanent space for art pieces that encompass various aspects of Jewish life. The museum now bears the name of its first curator, Tulsa native Sherwin Miller, whose dedication to Judaism and art embodies the museum's mission to "preserve and share the legacy of Jewish art, history and culture."
To cultivate its educational environment, The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art maintains permanent collections such as the Jewish History and Culture exhibition, in which visitors can peruse fine art in the form of brilliantly colored tapestries by Israeli artist Reuven Rubin and archeological artifacts from the Middle Bronze Age through the Iron Age. Other displays include the Kaiser Holocaust Exhibition on the first floor and the Oklahoma Jewish Experience, which tells the stories of immigrants and showcases memorabilia from Oklahoma synagogues and families. In addition to its collections, the museum also showcases rotating exhibits of visiting works of art and seasonal educational displays with craft projects geared toward specific holidays.
Kaleidoscope Children's Museum transports kids into a pint-size world, touting 13,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits that ignite the imagination. Wee ones rule in Kid's City, a microcosm of society with a café, grocery store, barbershop, doctor's office, post office, and a miniature jail for locking up pinky-swear violators. Two rock walls soar 20 and 22 feet into the air, beckoning aspiring spider monkeys to scale their faces, and a multilevel play structure with two slides entertains playground explorers. Tykes can rock out on stage or solve a who-dun-it in Kaleidoscope's detective mystery lab. Snoezellen, a multisensory black-light room, appeals to little ones' five senses with glow-in-the dark toys, Van de Graaff static-electricity spheres, and oxygen-flavored air.
The Tulsa Air and Space Museum explores the history of aerial propulsion, from propeller planes to rockets. The standing exhibits offer visitors a chance to get up close to real equipment or try their hand at piloting within simulators.
An actual MD-80 aircraft standing outside of the museum—it's soon to be the centerpiece of an interactive exhibit on aeronautics, but for now it's content to inspire anyone who looks upon it. For those interested in more than gazing, hourly tours are offered which include a cockpit visit and short video. Equally incredible (though perhaps not quite as large) are exhibits that focus on the World War II, the Space Age, and celebrate the history of aeronautics. The museum also features a planetarium with hourly shows that give an idea of just how large the universe truly is.
Thomas Gilcrease learned to love the American West as a boy growing up in the Oklahoma Territory during the early 1900s, but it took a trip to Europe to ignite his passion for preserving and sharing the region's distinctive culture and history. Inspired by the vast displays of Old World artwork he viewed during his overseas travels, he used the wealth he amassed in Oklahoma's oil fields to assemble an immense collection of art and artifacts. This collection found its current home in 1949 when Gilcrease founded what would become the Gilcrease Museum.
The museum's exhibit halls, library shelves, and refrigerator doors brim with historically and culturally significant pieces, including more than 10,000 Western American artworks by nationally renowned painters and sculptors, 100,000 rare books, maps, and manuscripts, and 250,000 Native American artifacts. Although exhibits change throughout the year, they tend to explore the impact of westward expansion while also celebrating the region's natural beauty and honoring its roots in Native American culture.
Beyond its walls, the Gilcrease Museum features 23 acres of themed gardens, which embrace landscaping design and agricultural practices from the pre-Columbian, Colonial, and Victorian eras, among others. These gardens allow visitors to interact with displays that are simultaneously historical and alive, serving as a symbolic reminder of western America's cultural growth and development.
The building that houses the Tulsa Historical Society & Museum doesn't just contain historical artifacts?it's a piece of history itself. Built in 1919 by Sam and Julie Travis during the prosperous years of Tulsa's second oil boom, the mansion sits on 28,000 square feet of manicured landscape that now houses a Vintage Garden brimming with architectural artifacts and bronze sculptures.
Of course, this is just part of the history museum's draw. In the years since its 1963 founding, the Tulsa Historical Society & Museum has amassed a collection of more than 50,000 photographs, 10,000 books and manuscripts, and 6,000 other objects that bear the essence of Tulsa or Oklahoma history, ranging from furniture and fine art to military uniforms and civilian clothing. Curators pull from this ever-growing collection to create themed exhibitions in the museum's eight separate galleries. Every exhibition changes at least once a year, giving repeat visitors a chance to make new discoveries about subjects such as Tulsa life in the Great Depression, the Tulsa Race Riot, and the history of Tulsa baseball.
The 35-year-old National Wrestling Hall of Fame puts wrestling fans in a hearty historical headlock with 11 rooms of memorabilia devoted to mankind's oldest sport. Peruse the recently refurbished history exhibit, featuring trophies, prizes, and other memorabilia, and scan the Wall of Champions, which honors the accomplishments of collegiate, club, and international titleholders. Even unsung whistle-blowers get their moment in the spotlight with the museum's tribute to officials.

Alexander Wang Made a Gym Bag for the One Percent
Senior Digital Editor
While many of today's most talked-about designer collaborations involve affordable diffusion collections, Alexander Wang's new team-up with with the technological geniuses at Samsung has yielded one might pricey backpack. After the electronics company tasked Wang with crowdsourcing a limited-edition bag, the CFDA favorite asked some of his style industry BFFs to doodle potential patterns and images on their Samsung Galaxy Note II smartphones—which he in turn combined into a single decorative motif.
The result, called the Wallie gym sack, is a minimalist drawstring lambskin bag covered in an abstract gray and black print. It's available beginning today at Alexanderwang.com, with proceeds going to Art Start, a charitable organization that fosters creative talent among at-risk children. Still, at $550, the Wallie costs roughly the same as a six-month membership at my NYC gym. Tell us: will you be snapping up one of these expensive (but undeniably cool) carryalls for a cause?

ANIMAL KINGDOM - Triple Dog Super Secrets
I know there is an Animal Kingdom thread and with tons of GREAT info, but I am going there September 22nd with group of 8, kids are 2,3,8 and want to know your 2 or 3 best TIPS or Secrets for the resort , so as not to miss out on the Magic of the AKL!!!!!
If you are in a savannah view room, definitely bring (or if you don't already have them, invest in and bring) a good set of binoculars. Forget the small cheap stuff (Bushnell), get Nikon or (if you really want to splurge) Canon. These will make all the difference between just seeing vague shapes in the distance vs. getting up good and close on baby giraffes and prancing impalas.
Boma is really really good. I haven't tried it yet for breakfast but for dinner, it is not to be missed. Same for jiko. The cheesecake at the Mara is outstanding and even better than the zebra domes. ;). One of the best gift shops on property, scope it out many times during your trip. I really want to try out the sunset safari one time...it looks awesome. Be prepared to have it be your favorite resort...my sister was a die hard wl fan and after staying there, and it was like pulling teeth to get her there...all she talks about is akl. :goodvibes
Night Vision goggles, they have activities for the kids-check at front desk for information
I have a question about the animals and night viewing. Do the animals get locked up in a barn at night or are they still allowed to wander the savannahs after dark? If they aren't locked away at night, I'd love to buy my own set of night vision goggles and camp out on my balcony at night to observe them.
Thanks for this thread. Any more triple dog super secrets? (We're goin in Jan.)
There is beautiful African art throughout the resort along with a few spots you can view out glass walls, walk all around the resort in the guest room areas to check it out.
Always surprised how empty the balcony/porches are that face the savanna on either side of the lobby. Anyone can sit and use these, great views. So relaxing and peaceful. Sunset Overlook Room just past the front desk on left. Walk through it and there is a door out to a balcony overlooking that Savanna. |
1-Sit around the fireplace. It was a warm relaxing way to hang out for a while
2-explore the trails around the resort and talk to the CM's. They have so much great info to share 3-Enjoy the resort, explore and take your time to see what fun things are going on. |
Most of the wild animals like the lions and other dangerous animals are taken in. You can not see those from your room. Only the Zebras, giraffes and some others.:)

The Argument For a Hypersonic Missile Testing Ban
Re:Incredibally stupid argument (322 comments)

We are sorry to see you leave - Beta is different and we value the time you took to try it out. Before you decide to go, please take a look at some value-adds for Beta and learn more about it. Thank you for reading Slashdot, and for making the site better!
Re:Incredibally stupid argument (322 comments)
That is somewhat along the line of "If I shoot him first, he can't shoot me."
Re:"Against a wall" (149 comments)
There are already things hindering the customers to place their PC directly with their back to the walls. One is called cables, the other one is called convenience. Who wants to crawl under their desk to turn the PC on or to attach / detach an USB flash drive? Thus a PC is more often then not aligned with the front of the desk, with more than enough space towards the wall.
So I call BS on the "regular PCs heat up because of walls and thus we introduced this case design".
Re:Computers Yes. But theres no point (151 comments)
Even though risking to feed a troll:
Please elaborate why Java is a "slower language before we even start",
why you think java is single threaded (in Java multi-threading is really comfortable, and no libraries needed),
why you say there is no optimization (the JIT compiler DOES optimize the code),
where your "good logic" is, when there are numerous buffer overflows and similar problems regularly found in important C / C++ code,
and why you are thinking you would be forced to use any library? (of course you can reinvent the wheel for the thousands time with the same errors)
Have you ever seen real benchmarks between Java Code and C / C++ nowadays? It doesn't seem so.
And what are you referring to with '"easy" amature programming' and "fast food alpha"?
Re:partly as a result, work culture is also haphaz (135 comments)
That is why it's called "management" and not "solving", "empowering" or "understanding".
Re:Slippery Slope (186 comments)
This is no slippery slope, this is utter nonesense! If facts stated about your are wrong, you let your lawyer send a letter, that the author has to remove or change the information. They will comply if it's reasonable, if not one can escalate and go on trail.
Long strory short: In Europe you already have means against someone unrighfully diffaming you. No need for censoriing.
Still use RSS, going to build a new reader (132 comments)
I don't have the time to go to every news page and look through if something new and important was written. So I still use RSS. I want the information come to me, not to chase it.
My project is in a really early state (no customer - problem fit) as I haven't had the time to invest lately. Feel free to drop me a mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) If you want to get updates or want to help me find out what current "problems" with readers and information acquiring in general you have.
Re:Maybe it doesn't measure science literacy (772 comments)
No, it doesn't.
What the quote states is like "because you can't know anything to it's fullest it's okay to just don't care at all." To compare apples and oranges: "Because I can't run a marathon right now it's totally okay to be not able to run even 3 km." Hint: The one able to run a half marathon is nevertheless in a better state than somebody who can't run even 3 km, even though both cannot run a marathon.
Science will undermine it's claims with experiments and reasoning. Moreover we see the results of science in our daily life. Many basic things you can test for yourself (for example just start breeding plants, stretching springs, heating metals, measure a circuit) and actually understand. If you show me someone making wine out of water or dividing a sea I will totally belief in this story. There is a difference between something you see describing your daily life, making predictions about things not yet seen (but later verified) and a story "you just have to believe". Should I believe in the Nigerian prince wanting to give me money, too?
Re:Wait a sec (772 comments)
By definition everything we can't proof is just a theory. The only things we can proof are those, we base on a system of axioms ->see math. All the rest we can only explain, most often quite good, but most often there are missing pieces. We can't merge the theory of relativity with quantum mechanics. Both theories work really well for problems "of the right size". I hope you will see, that gravity is a theory, too, even though it's a very well working as it bases on a model.
This question is not inconvenient but senseless (772 comments)
This is like asking:

Believing in evolution doesn't mean thinking "it's without a consequence to mess with anatomy / genes" actually it means the complete opposite. We actually think that the human brain evolved into something very powerful but also very delicate, you know?
But one inconvenient question for you:
How do you think selective breeding of plants and animals works?
Re:Maybe it doesn't measure science literacy (772 comments)
The more abstract principles how evolution works were tough in the 7th grade or so (at least in Germany) when I went to school. Be it mutation, recombination and dominance of genes, DNA, RNA, transcription, cell division. Combine this with the just logical concept of "survival of the fittest" and you are mostly done with explaining/understanding evolution. How exactly the proteins work is another story.
But how hard can it be to grasp the abstract concept of evolution? Even more, when we use this knowledge for ages. Be it selectively breeding of plants, horses, cows, dogs, cats and so on.

Re:Maybe not extinction... (608 comments)
I think you are mixing up capitalism with the industrial revolution. Capitalism is fairer than say a caste system, but it doesn't make it good just by this. If every one is trying to maximize it's profit this leads to companies saving on wages. This may happen by improving processes and needing less people (good) or giving little money for huge workload (bad). Now you may say "Law of supply and demand! Nobody is forced to accept a too low wage." While this is technically true, there is always some one desperate enough to sell his work force under value just so he can pay his mortgage and food. So if companies are driving down wages in a whole sector the single person has no chance to get a good deal. There is another factor driving down wages: abundant supply in work force. There are not enough jobs for everyone, haven't been and probably will never be. Just look back in the old days where only the man would go to work and would supply it's family and even than not everyone had a job. Now look at the current situation: today both the man and the woman need to work, to have a decent life. So double the work force and an even bigger dependence leading to lower wages.
Going to research at an university most often means making less bucks than going into the corporate world. Yet those scientists make this step. Not because of the money, but because they love to solve problems. They love it more than a bigger pay check.
But today you are often enough dependent on third-party funding. Now you not only need to be a good researcher but you need to make big claims to the right peoples. And suddenly research becomes a business. Business need to make ROI in a short period of time. But fundamental research needs many years for any results and those often enough get into products maybe one or two decades later. So fundamental research is hampered. But not only this. By working together with the firms that are paying your research, you are no longer independent and your results tend to be biased. Moreover you may need to hold results back until patents are claimed. This all would not happen, if there wasn't financial interest in research.
Speaking for what happens in Germany: less regulation would actually makes it harder to get decent internet if you are not in the right spot in a big city. It's an easy calculation: ROI is way higher in areas with many subscribers that will buy the most expensive services. Good luck if you are in the urban areas. I really don't see how deregulation would solve this kind of problems.

Re:Maybe not extinction... (608 comments)
Capitalism is bad. You may not see this, if you belong to the lucky ones, but it is neither fair, nor social or sustainable. And I bet my ass, if we were more collaborative, we would be way ahead in technology and social questions. It's collaboration that drives improvement. Just imagine science without it: Every would had to start at 0, not even knowing the fundamentals. Capitalism on the other hand is the exact antithesis of cooperation where everyone fights for it's own good and against all the others.

That Maul is awful.
I might have to pick up the 3PO/R2 set though. That 3PO looks like one of the best versions of him we've ever gotten, at least as good as the ROTS version. And since we'll likely never get a BAD version, it'll have to do.

han and chewie death star :
the han solo anh is the best of this line overall
his sculpt and painting is decent.
this figure is the first 3 3/4 blue eyes Han in HASBRO kenner history.
Also the first 3 3/4 Han which spots the knife cut on the chin.
Looks as the long seeked evolution of Han from vintage kenner articulation.
The chewie figure dimishes the improvements of this set, poor paint job.

Can't say that I care for the way these figure look. I think the second wave at least has some cool character choices to suit the concept. The Obi-Wan & Darth Maul set is cool from a lineup perspective. But the execution is in line with everything else in the 2013 Legacy Collection: it's disposable.
That's the mantra for the whole Legacy Collection. I don't know where the disconnect is between Hasbro's message and collector perception. They've been saying they want to do a kids line. THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE KIDS LINE. IT'S NOT MEANT TO PLEASE COLLECTORS.
As for this Clone Wars Darth Maul being in the mix? It's definitely disappointing to see that figure dumbed down to the 5 points of articulation level. But if you're a student of action figure history, this is the way things have been done. Just look back to 1999/2000 and the EPISODE I line that accompanied the release of
. A lot of collectors were taken aback by the poor quality of the main Jedi figures in that line. The first few Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn figures were pretty dreadful. Lo and behold, several months down the line Hasbro comes around and offers much better sculpted and articulated versions of both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon towards the end of that line. And guess what? Hasbro has done the exact same thing in other years, too. They did it in the SAGA line for AOTC, and they did it in 2005 for the ROTS line, too.
This playbook has been around for a while: Get the inferior figures out there first and sell them because it's the only version of a character that people want. Leave it out there for a while, and leave people thinking that this might be the only version they're going to get. Then wait 6 / 9 / 12 months, etc. THEN offer an improved version of the character. What then? Wait another 2 years, and offer the ULTIMATE version of the same character. Hasbro is banking on the desirability of a character to support sales of the low grade figure, and over time they're going to cash in on the improved versions. We've seen it too many times before to ignore the pattern. And I think that's probably what we're in store for with Darth Maul from this final season of Clone Wars.

That is a great point Nick and one I hadn't thought of, there is a lot of history to back you up. I just don't get why they
2 or 3 different lines. I don't think anyone here would be harping about rereleasing Early Bird Chewie with a new improved VOTC Han. Or why they couldn't rerelease the just released Cody, Luke and Clone. This whole kids hate articulation is a crap argument. If tooling dollars rule your budget why keep reinventing wheel.

I think the articulation issue with kids is part of the overall "disposable" theme. Case in point? Some family members of mine gave their kids the BMF Falcon as a Christmas gift. IMHO, that's an AMAZING gift. And those same kids? They got an AT-TE as a gift, too. What did the kids do with them? They played with both vehicles for a few months, but that was it. The last time I can recall seeing them play with either vehicle was only a few months after they'd received them, and after that the Falcon and AT-TE both just sat, unplayed with and in pieces.
Is this indicative of how every kid is playing with their Star Wars toys? I can't say for certain. But there does seem to be a much shorter attention span with this new generation of kids. And I think that what we're seeing from Hasbro as well as other manufacturers are less intricate offerings, since the current crop of kids doesn't seem to appreciate the more elaborate items.

Kids have had shorter attention spans since Nintendo... I'm not sure that's a factor that's changed in a while, but I think it is or at least can be a factor.
I think kids not wanting articulation IS BS... My gf's kids preferred the stuff I was buying compared to POTF2 extras I threw their way when they got into Star Wars... Kids when we were younger gravitated largely to BETTER toy lines like GI Joe. Star Wars didn't die a quick death after ROTJ because attention spans in 85 were short... They left SW for better new toy lines. I know I did. Star Wars figures became more arms dealers for Joes I liked, and their vehicles got mixed in as well, as cool clearance buys.
I'm ok with Hasbro doing what it thinks it needs to do to make a cheap line for kids, if they think that's the way to go, but I just hope the line I like isn't ignored completely. I'm hoping future TBS (and beyond) waves start to show the OT love.

As for the video game chat - I can say that my 6 year old son and 5 year old neighbor played with their action figures 90% of the time until back in May when they discovered Skylanders on XBOX. Now they spend at least 75% of their play time together in front of a video game. We have to restrict their XBOX time...
Maybe Hasbro needs to work out a deal for a new Battlefront game with a similar concept - you buy the figure that comes with a stand - put the stand onto a portal and you can be that character for the game.

Honestly, I think I'll probably pick up the OT offerings from this line (and the Legends line, or whatever its called now). I kind of like the Han/Chewie and droids 2 packs, although it makes it much easier to appreciate stuff like this because we already have near perfect versions of all of these already. I do agree with the point of just re-releasing something like an EB Chewie and Han 2 pack though (or other examples of great figures they already have). I do appreciate the pricepoint of these things though, although we are losing a lot of quality.
I just wish the SW line itself wasn't so segmented, I miss the days of "one line", even if it was just collection 1 and 2 like the POTJ days. I think they've hurt themselves with that strategy a lot as well, having so many different lines vying for basically the same peg space since the stores largely don't care. It may improve since the Black Series stuff is so different than these, but I still think that the line in general could use some simplification.

I think we are getting that some with the drop of Clone Wars... seemed to me that THREE lines was too aggressive... going back to two lines should help things quite a bit. Now you won't have all those different segments competing quite as much. In the end, that might help the Black Series even more.
With the coming "Rebels" series, I am kind of hoping that Hasbro doesn't launch another whole new mainstream line again. I'd rather see a wave of Black Series figures into the mix instead... others may disagree but I like how they had a wave of TFU figures mixed into the TAC line, personally and would like to see that again... but of course with their distribution woes the past couple years, that could be hard to achieve... I think TWO lines would be easier to manage though and estimate demand for Hasbro.

I found the Mission Series sets at TRU today. I was surprised to see that they were only $9.99, and they qualified for the BOGO half off sale, so I picked up the full wave of four plus a couple extra Utapau Clone sets. I am not disappointed one bit. I find the 5poa figures to be a lot of fun, well-made, and they look good on display. I will always prefer the full articulation, but I don't mind adding a few cheaper and simpler toys to my collection.

I found these tonight as well in a TRU.. (No BOGO...) I really, really like them. Anikin, Jango, and the Clones are fantastic, and I swear these are some of the most crisp paint jobs I've seen in a while.
The Battle Droids are, well Battle Droids. I wish the had sculpted them a bit bulkier.
Anyway, I'm totally into these, as I think they will be the closest we ever come to true "vintage" type prequel figures. Yes, I like articulation, and I like having the characters be able to hold their weapons with 2 hands, but these are aesthetically very pleasing. I can't wait until the OT guys hit in the winter.

Battle Droids are just 2002 leftovers, over the years they've been consistently terrible (due to their inability to stand). It's strange they ran with a ten+ year old mold instead of the MTT "pilot" droids (used in the class 1 sets), which have newer aesthetics.

Grant to Participate in State Farm Women's 3-Point Contest

Prolific guitarist, drummer, and music archivist Jack White has revealed that fans may soon be lining up at Third Man Records in Nashville, Tennessee for his follow-up to 2012's Blunderbuss. In a recent chat with fans, White revealed he is currently working on two albums, one being his own.
As The Hollywood Reporter writes, White recently told fans via the Third Man Records online chatroom, "I'm producing two albums this month, and finishing them… One of them is mine." Considering his band The Dead Weather's current plans to release a new album in 2015, unveiling the album single-by-single, fans speculate that White may be referring to a new solo record.
White has also reportedly been back in the studio with supergroup The Raconteurs, known in these parts as The Saboteurs, since February of 2013, with no tell yet of any official releases. The Steady, As She Goes hit-makers unveiled their last album, Consolers of the Lonely, back in 2008.
Blunderbuss was a hit with both fans and critics upon release, reaching number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with 138,000 copies sold in its first week of release in April 2012. White's first solo venture was also a critical success and received a Grammy Award nomination for Album of the Year.

Retiring lives? Old age, work and welfare

Retirement, pensions, care homes – old age may not be as rosy as we think. This unit looks at old age taking us from the Workhouse to the basic state pension. Why are people expected to stop work at a certain age and what impact does this have on their lives?
By the end of this unit you should be able to look at how:
- experiences of being an older person are shaped through a historical and mutually constitutive process involving an interplay between the personal, work and welfare; and the points of continuity and difference this interplay illuminates;
- personal experiences of being older are constituted not only through age divisions, but also through loci of social difference and inequality organised around class, (dis)ability, ethnicity, gender, 'race' and sexuality;
- different social theories – Marxist, feminist, Marxist-feminist and post-structuralist – have attempted to account for, and give shape to, the personal lives of older people.

Retiring lives? Old age, work and welfare
In this unit we explore the way in which older age has been socially constructed, and focus particularly on how the identity of being an 'old age pensioner' (OAP) developed during the twentieth century.

Nearly every Saturday, I post a new Challenge. Ranging from artistic prompts to self discovery exercises to ideas for living a wholesome, beautiful life, every Challenge seeks to inspire growth, love, creativity, and a more full life!
Dear friends,
This is my 100th post! Thank you so very much for joining me on this journey. Today I want to tell a story about this blog.
A few years ago, I had a vivid dream of a city near the sea. Near to it was a field full of golden, swaying wheat; purple mountains stood on the horizon. A tree stood to my right, huge and ancient and strong. Its leaves fluttered in the breeze, and its branches were full of blossoms that filled the air with a sweet scent. I felt safe and happy and loved in this field, and knew that I had a deep connection to this tree - one of complete understanding and of unconditional love.
This tree is my Peace Tree. I think of it sometimes and it brings me stillness and comfort. I named this blog after it, blessing this space with all those things I find under my own tree. I invite you to come and sit here with me, sharing stories of life and of love and of the Universe, fostering creativity and inspiration and ideas.
This week, to celebrate my 100th blog post, I challenge you to create your own peace tree! Perhaps it grows in a secret garden, or perhaps it holds a treehouse in its branches. Bring it to life and fill it with all the good things that you can think of!
Happy creating,
You can view and participate in past challenges here, and remember that you can share photos in the (rather neglected) Flickr group. If you have a suggestion for a challenge, please leave a comment or write me an email at mypeacetree2 (at) gmail (dot) com.
