A Eulogy for The Last Guardian
Sony's silence speaks volumes on the much anticipated title.
A lot of us here at 1UP had a bad feeling in the pit of our stomachs leading up to this year's E3. We tried to ignore it, even going as far as to convince ourselves that our long-gestating fears would be alleviated when Sony took the stage at their press conference. At some point when the lights were dim, we'd finally see another glimpse of The Last Guardian, the final installment in Team ICO's thematic trilogy. After a half- decade wait, we'd finally get some concrete details on the Shadow of the Colossus follow-up, possibly even a timeframe as to when we'll be able to get our hands on it.
And so the lights dimmed on Sony's press conference, two hours passed, and the house lights came back on. We were left with a whole mess of thoughts regarding what Sony had shown, but more importantly, we were left reflecting on what was absent. Without even the slightest mention of The Last Guardian, our greatest fears inched ever-closer to becoming a truth; the game will never be released.
It's no secret that The Last Guardian has had its share of problems along the development trail. Fumito Ueda's departure from Sony left a sense of unease on the project, and the fact that the game has been suspiciously absent from major conferences only adds to that. The game's MIA status from this year's E3 was noticed by everyone, and in an interview with Eurogamer last night, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida spoke of the game, saying, "When we have confidence in saying that, we will talk about it. But today, we are working through some engineering effort."
To quote a great man, "I have a bad feeling about this." The phrasing of this answer frankly scares the crap out of me. The Last Guardian has always been one of the most ambitious projects of this generation, and what's been shown so far displays the vision and emotion of an indie game with all the dressings of a AAA blockbuster. It's a Christopher Nolan film -- an insanely expensive spectacle that still manages to ooze imaginative ideas from every frame. Projects of this scope are built upon perilous foundations -- one need only take a look at the sordid history of various Don Quixote films to see how easy it is for something this vast to tumble like a house of cards. So many things could go wrong with this, and call me a pessimist, but I can't shake the feeling that The Last Guardian may very well be chasing windmills until the end of time.
I have a growing fear that Sony's silence during their press briefing says all that needs to be said about the state of The Last Guardian. I can't help but keep a 40 close at hand in the sad event of having to pour one out for death of my single most anticipated game of this generation.

A Valid Fear, But Not The Only OnePosted: Aug 04, 2012 12:00AM PST by gigantor84
For me, the game coming out and not living up to the years of hype surrounding it is another possibility. I'm particularly worried about that when it comes to FFXIII Versus, another project that's been in development hell for almost the entirety of the current generation.
QUIXOTE???Posted: Jun 26, 2012 12:00AM PST by suguru4040

Keep Hope AlivePosted: Jun 11, 2012 12:00AM PST by gensurvivor
Too much has gone into this game for it to be cancelled. That's what I keep telling myself anyway.
Before its timePosted: Jun 10, 2012 12:00AM PST by JaySmoov
The Last Guardian is way before its time sad to say, however, sometime in 2014 when the PS4 releases. The Last Guardian will be a launch title for it.
Maybe soPosted: Jun 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by Furysetzer
They might have killed it off, but I doubt it. They just released the HD collection this past year, so I'm sure they haven't forgotten about it.
Don't WorryPosted: Jun 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by slabtown
I have it on good authority that it is going to be a launch title for the Phantom.

Your post inspires zero confidence. You don't have any "good authority"; you don't have any source. Pull yourself together.

Shadow was the reason I bought a PS2. I'm sure this will/was gonna be awesome.

I've never heard of someone having the crap scared out of them just because a video game we know almost nothing about probably won't be released.
Like someone said earlier; we never saw much of this game. For all we know it could have been terrible and put a sour note on a great franchise.
However, it is always dissappointing to at least not get a chance to see a game come to light that you are interseted in.

terrible journalismPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by capnkimo
among the other points the commentators have called foul on this article, cancelling this game makes terrible business sense because Sony very well knows the DEMAND for this game.
Never understood the hype.Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by implodinggoat
I get that Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were amazing games; but they came out a long time ago and frankly we've never been shown enough of the game to laude it with praise like....
"The Last Guardian has always been one of the most ambitious projects of this generation, and what's been shown so far displays the vision and emotion of an indie game with all the dressings of a AAA blockbuster."
The game certainly had potential but the press has let their imagination run wild with this one for years.
Not worried.Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by andyrew
Based on how much they have invested, I'm not worried. Gran Turismo 5 kept dragging along through development, but it showed up eventually. Sony doesn't seem to axe a lot of projects, either.
You're going to be dissapointed.Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by implodinggoat
Its the end of the console cycle and most of the team that worked on the game is gone now.
Sony is going to be pushing the PS4 pretty soon, so I don't think they have much interest in investing a lot into PS3 titles that will come out around the same time as their new console launches.
If the game ever does come out, it will likely be pushed through production by a new team and in the process lose the magic and craftsmanship that the old Team Ico would have put into it.
@implodinggoatPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Chi_the_Boss
I don't think they are going to be pushing the PS4 for a couple more years. Microsoft and Nitendeo may be hasty about releasing new consoles but Sony always releases later because they aren't as concerned about ripping everyone off. That's why the internet service is provided by them for free and they are having problems making ends meet so I don't think they are going to start trying to make quick cash anytime soon because they just have never done that.
Ueda has NOT left!Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by swedishfriend
quite the opposite! he shed business and managements roles to focus on the game and its design. He is there every day working long hours!
see 1up article: http://www.1up.com/news/shuhei-yoshida-last-guardian-update
Well...Posted: Jun 10, 2012 12:00AM PST by Nall
He has and he hasn't; he's in limbo ATM. He officially "quit" the company back in December 2011, but he's still under contract by Sony to finish Last Guardian. If and when the game ever gets finished he's out the door.
EULOGY? WTF? Tabliod Journalism this site has sunk toPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Sl1m_Shady
What kind of asshole title is that for the article anyway? The Eulogy for a game that the Devs are taking painstaking care to create to perfection? This isnt some Asshole Gears of War that you can slap together in 6 months. Did these HACKS make a Eulogy for Alan Awake when they took their time to develop it? Did they Makea "Eulogy " For Half Life 2 midway through it's dev time? No , Killzone 2 took five years to make and it was awesome, a masterpiece. God Of War 3 took 4 years. Only shit games on 360 or multiplatform crap like COD get made every year and make it to your bullshit E3 show. Now have a nice cupof STFU and quit making false reports.
COD games are on 2 year cycle.Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by swedishfriend
Even COD with very little new stuff every outing takes at least 2 years (they have 2 developers taking turns).
Swedishfriend would you like to buy the Brooklyn Bridge?Posted: Jun 11, 2012 12:00AM PST by Sl1m_Shady
What kind of gullible sucker are you? Call of Duty and Black ops are the same damn game with a different coat of paint . THEY PUT OUT A NEW CALL OF DUTY EVERY YEAR. Take your head out of your ass. Same stupid game with the same graphics engine and kill streak perks.
probably getting close to release.Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by swedishfriend
That is usually the time when developers don't want to spend time on making a demo. My guess it will be shown and dated at TGS.
EDIT: well I guess right now they cannot date it because of work yet to be done maybe they will have a better idea by the time TGS rolls around. Oh and Ueda has NOT left the project. He got rid of management responsibilities so he could focus more on the game, so quite the opposite of leaving the project.
I still have faith..Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by gach
I guess it was delayed because of technical difficulties. I hope all of this secrecy and issues is really part of their marketting plan. I know this game wouldn't make it mainstream anyways unfortunately.. so hopefully all of this worrisome action is leading all of it's true followers to a state of more.. followship.. idk. I am still stoked. And as much as I want to see more footage, I know the time will come when I slide it into my playstation, it's still on its way.
I disagreePosted: Jun 10, 2012 12:00AM PST by St_Jimmy19
I disagree, the mainstream demand for this game is staggering considering that it's such an off-beat kind of game.
Long development cycles...Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Kigaba
can definitely be a bad sign but coupled with radio silence and Ueda's taking a backseat, it does not bode well. That said, I'll hold out some small hope.
Don't believe everything you read from this site....Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by EDMIX
Look around a bit. Sony very much was talking about this game and said nothing even coming close to the game being either canned or even in any consern. In fact they said based off not having enough time at E3's press event, they choose not to show it.
Ueda not taking a back seatPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by swedishfriend
He shed other responsibilities to focus on the game so quite the opposite! 4+ years is not that long especially considering the relatively small team for a AAA title.
The plot thickens...Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Kigaba
EDMIX - Didn't see your link earlier, thanks. Now it seems even more strange that this article has such a tone of finality to it.
swedishfriend - I interpreted his going under contract to mean that he had less responsibility and authority for the final product and am happy to be wrong about that. To your point, 4+ years isn't long on an absolute basis but relative to how impatient I am for the game it certainly seems like quite a long time. I was definitely not holding my breath for Duke Nukem...
Surprise ur either left in the dark about this or are trolling hard for news.Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by EDMIX
So..is 1up the only site that had not clue that ALL the press events where strapped for time? As if Nintendo REALLY wanted to announce a new IP on Spike and not at there press event? LOL! From what was said by Sony, they didn't even have the time to even talk about it at E3, there press events are usually the longest and everyones event was pretty much the same lengh. There where even new Vita games at E3 that where not shown at the press event......are they now some how not coming out too because there where shown at a press confrence?
LOL! Tell me about.
errr ok 1up. This would be intresting, IFPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by EDMIX
If Sony didn't say anything about TLG at E3 2012.....they did.
You know what I love?Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by TheHamsterplan
Almost every single post on the Joystiq article is arguing against Rohde's explanation; they're all convinced the game is not coming out. And of course everyone on this thread is arguing with the author, all holding out [silly] hope that this game is coming along fine. Why is it that 90% of people who are vocal on the internet just want to be contrary (i.e. jerks)?
I think you're right Marty, unfortunately. Unless they are delaying it for the next console.
Might be adding move support?Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by element676
I do not know how much truth there is to this or even what the source of this information is, but I read this on a message board somewhere so thought I would share it. Even if its complete BS, its an interesting theory nontheless.While there have been no official announcements of it making an appearance at E3 the game will see the light of day despite fans doubts. The development was already so far along that a playable demo was meant to be available but the decision was dropped at the last minute in order to add Move support at the request of Sony (they felt it was the perfect game to showcase and add Move). The word is that Sony wanted to force Playstation Move support which was going to lengthen development time. Ueda and Sony had a fallout over this as he didn't want to be responsible for the integration. While he is no longer an SCEJ employee he is still fully involved in the same way with only his work title changed to 'freelancer'. He switched over to freelancer so this wouldn't fall on his shoulders and in the future would give him more creative freedom with his projects without interjections from Sony and forced technologies. The game will be standard (as it was meant to be played) and with move support as well. Santa Monica was brought in to polish more effects (to showcase the ps3's graphical power) while Move support is currently being developed and tweaked. Much of the game is fully completed with simply art and effects being adjusted daily aside from Move development. Its also looking like an early 2013 release date along with other AAA titles like Lara Croft and The Last of Us in order to sell more ps3's in q1 and q2 before a PS4 announcement.
Interesting TheoryPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Hippie_Genocide
It seems plausible, but I don't know why Sony brass wouldn't come out and say as much. At this point, they need to say something besides "we'll comment on Last Guardian when we feel like it".
It is Sony after allPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by element676
If what this individual wrote is in fact true. I imagine SOny did not want to mention the added Move support , because it might bring to light the dispute between them and Ueda, and may also paint them in a negative light. Who knows, but between this title and FFversusXIII, something needs to be said about their current state and possible release window. In the future it might be best for publishers, and developers not to mention titles in development, until they are within a year at least of completion time, not 4 or 5 or even 6 years out from being finished.

Half-Life 3Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by ZiggyMoShriff
How can HL3 simmer for six years (and more still) with nary a hint of its existence and everyone assumes its coming, while Last Guardian gets a fcuking eulogy for not being discussed at E3 like 14(?) months after it was announced? These types of projects don't revolve around peoples expectations of them and its ridiculous, imo, to assume that LG is dead in the water because its E3 showing was nonexistent.
This seems reactionary... I think this game is definitely coming. We simply must be patient.
14 months????Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Hippie_Genocide
This shit has been at E3 for at least 3 years in a row. And Last Guardian has had a very public troubled development. Also, when the Lead Designer for HL3 just up and quits, you can compare the two.
YeahPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by ZiggyMoShriff
The dates were off in my kneejerk post. I guess my point is that we shouldnt write off LG so soon. Its obviously an anticipated title that I think will eventually be finished regardless of Ueda's absence.
Because last guardian would be a more unique experience, gaming artPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by ragnar88
Pretty much sums it up, who cares about yet another first person high budget shooter, old school gamers are sick of these type of games and want a unique experience like Ico and Shadow of the Colousus, as with most things video games started getting uber popular with the masses they started getting dumbed down to make sales like blockbuster piece of crap hollywood movies..,there are a plethera of boring fps and not enough unique indie type games... long live creative gaming, down with the masses.
Your ire seems a bit misguided...Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Hippie_Genocide
You're referring to Half Life like its fucking Haze or Legendary: The Box. Half Life since its inception has pushed innovation in the fps genre, as well storytelling within the games medium regardless of genre. You're painting it as another me too shooter and nothing could be further from the truth. I would challenge you to poll so-called "old school gamers" and see how many of them don't want Half Life 3. Bet its not very many. But this clouds the larger point, which is that Half Life should have never been brought up to begin with.
Ragnars a clownPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by ZiggyMoShriff
But seriously while the comparison of half life and last guardian may have been a bit farreaching I think its interesting that we all expect a new half life without the slightest hint as to when it may come. But, when the Last Guardian hits a few snags its automatically written off. That was all I was getting at.
Half life is the shit btw.
Is it ?Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by n1hmrd
it has been 8 years + since hl2 has been released,tell me which game has ever done that and not shown a dam thing except artwork,even if they come out they come out dated,no one caring enough to buy it,there been countless games like this,i fking love half-life series,so many good memories playing that game,so many friends made....
But we got to judge this on its own merit,this is Valve we are talking about here,only thing we know is bunch of the people who were rumoured to be working on it has been moved to another project,some going to steam network code,the lead designer has quit,not saying its been canned or shelved but we got to be realistic,,,its not a good sign guys,we all know the score with games this long in devolpment.
LookPosted: Jun 08, 2012 12:00AM PST by ZiggyMoShriff
It took twelve years to release Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 and no one ever questioned whether they were coming or not. We just waited and they were released when Blizzard ordained it. And they're awesome.
I think both these games (hl3 & lg) will be made and will be successful.
Thats not really my point though, I just think its too early to say whether last guardian is dead or not per the title of this article. Very speculative.
HopePosted: Jun 08, 2012 12:00AM PST by n1hmrd
love hl series,hope your right,if we follow the track of diablo 3 first bits of info was released in 2008( 8 years mark) so,if lets hope 2012 is the year ,we are at the 8 years mark with hl2,for the record tho i think,got a hunch lg will come out in the end,Tgs there maybe info i suspect.I am one of the few ppl that hoped for duke nukem forever even tho it was not the hit everyone wanted it to be,i kinda liked it tho,got ever achivement for it ;)
There is always kickstarterPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Zmooth65
I would gladly chip in for this game.
I doubt funding is the problem here...Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Hippie_Genocide
There's likely a whole rat's nest of technical problem that Sony is trying to untangle and without Ueda, I'm beginning to lose confidence that the game will live up to its potential even if it does see the light of day.
*sigh*Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Xian042
Why does every game franchise I fall in love with get evaporated. I still have faith, either they are just leaving Team Ico alone or are pushing for a next gen launch. Makes sense, thats the ONLY game I would want to play on PS4. They have come so far, just give them space and continue to show your interest.
hopePosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by ltzany
i still have hope that the game will still be released and I am not ruling it out yet.
there are a lot of games that no one is talking about at this e3. while being pretty excited at first, i have found this to be a pretty dissapointing E3.
Silva doesn't know squatPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Sl1m_Shady
The build up and break down the gameuntil they find a game engine that works for them. Umeda is STILL WORKING ON LAST GUARDIAN. He is on contract for the project, he is just not a Sony employee, he's doing Last Guardian as a free agent. Stop telling assholish tabloid lies that UMeda has deserted Last Guardian. This so called Journalist is just twisting distorting and omitting the truth to sell his bullcrap yellow journalist faux story. LAST GUARDIAN is not being cancelled. Shut your piehole. Sounds like some TABLOID shit story coming froma website that is onlife support and has low budget ever since IGN bought them.
Silva, you don't know jack stow it. Last Guardian will show when it's DONE. It's Not some piece of shit by the numbers COD or BlackOps that you can finish developing in 8 months.
Shut the hell up you TOOLPosted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by Sl1m_Shady

Do you have nothing better to do? You must be one of the 10% unemployed losers polluting America's gene pool. If you kiss their ass a little bit more, maybe 1up.com will offer you a job. Emptying trash cans. That is until Ign shuts them down for good .
I quote:

There you have it, prick,this HACK is implying Umeda departure had something to do with trouble with the development of LAST GUARDIAN. Further, Silva is implying that Umeda has left Last Guardian, and his departure from Sony's payroll has had an negative effect on the project. Umeda's departure from Sony and Umeda's involvement in the development in Last Guardian are mutually exclusive, you ass. Now how are your reading comprehension skills on that?

I AgreePosted: Jun 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by halochief_90
If the game isn't even in a state where it can't even show a short gameplay clip, the game is pretty much doomed to development hell. Part of me now wishes the team had attempted a less ambitious game than TLG. Afterall, I'm only looking forward to this game because of the legacy of the PS2 games not because TLG actually looks exciting to play (how could I know?).
Computer A.I. is so annoying!Posted: Jun 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by king_mob
I really don't think we have to worry about this game being released. The question is: will it be granted enough development time? AI controlled partners are a very tricky business that have ruined a lot of would-be great games. This game has one of the most complicated player-NPC relationships aever to be attempted. It's natural that devleopment would take longer than most games.
It's not really a surprise..Posted: Jun 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by BanditReturns2
since everyone knew from the moment of Fumito Ueda's departure that the game was going to be filed under "Game Development Hell" never to return.But there is always hope.....look at what happened with Duke Nukem Forever.....
Okay...bad example......
I think it a marketing ployPosted: Jun 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by evildog13

ShamePosted: Jun 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by HworangRules
Its a shame that there hasnt been a peep about this game.
At least give us all a "its still scheduled" or "its in the trash can".
That way we can all rest a *little* bit easier.
Didn't you hear?Posted: Jun 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by Musharasur
Sony Santa Monica has a second team helping with the development of the game for the next Sony console. It will be a launch title. You didn't hear it from me...
Too ambitiousPosted: Jun 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by nemo83
This is one of those games that was too ambitious and caught up in trying to communicate a cinematic experience. I still don't know what the purpose of the gryphon is beyond challenging the developers to finish this overreaching game.
Sony made my emoticon cry.Posted: Jun 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by Thomas_Happ
Not necessarilyPosted: Jun 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by Sokhan19
By your logic, the Half-Life series is utterly dead. Silence on a project doesn't necessarily mean a dead project, especially with the Team ICO being the perfectionists they are. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that it's a bit of a leap to call Last Guardian dead just yet.
You mean the HL series isn't dead?Posted: Jun 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by Hellslinger1
You could have fooled me.
err you sure about thaT ?Posted: Jun 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by n1hmrd
you sure hl3 is not doom to dev hell or canned or something the silence on valve part is becoming abit too,,,,I LOVE hl ,too, but its not looking good,,,,,i suspect his teams are working on elsewhere making more money inproving there steam platform,you ask a kid ,etc,these days what is hl ,just go ask you may surprise yourself,,,:( i suspect hl series will go down in history as the biggest ip that got wasted ever!!

^ ^ ^ You're right, It's not dead, considering the 2nd one left out on a huge cliff-hanger, implying a sequel?...
Franchises don't have to be thrown at you like upgraded products (Call of Duty), for your own comfort. As art, they take time, and many other things. It doesn't just happen, and forcing it can only make it go to hell.

love you sidharth malhotra
you rock!!!
Sid looks hot :)
Pari looks stunning!! But 2.5, really?
Huma, that lady is hell gorgeous, loved the dress she wore, she looked the best!
Kajol uhh she looks horrible!
Neha isn't looking so great!!
Ileana looks obese.
Shilpa and Nimrat are looking sexy!!
Aditi and Kangana are looking nice ;
love u Sidharth Malhotra !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Shilpa n Aditi look good. 5 for Huma????? She looked avg to me
Okay way to harsh on Parineeti. She looked much better than Kajol. Perhaps we're not looking at the same picture, but the jumpsuit seems to be flattering on her.
Kajol's pants look way too loose on her and give her unneeded weight and yet she gets a higher score?
Sidharth Malhotra 10/5...!
Sidharth looks hot...well deserved title
Commenting only for Sidharth Malhotra!!!
Too harsh a review for Parineeti. She didn't look absolutely stunning but her outfit wasn't as bad either. Kangana looked really horrible but still get the same rating as Pari :S Don't get the logic behind it!! Neha looked really pretty minus her hairdo! Huma took the winning cake though :D That lady is sheer gorgeousness!

I didn't have the penne pasta so just used egg noodles and it was still delicious. My husband loved it and asked me to make it again. I used the large shrimp that were already cooked.
I tried this dish but modified using my homemade pesto sauce instead of the lemon....very good! I will definitely try again and maybe follow the recipe this time - which is something I hardly ever do.
Prepared this dish tonight - very delicious! Made some minimal modifications: used cooked shrimp, not raw, added 2 pinches minced onion and 1 pinch oregano to skillet. Will definitely make this again.
Great, easy dish. Forgot about the parmesan cheese, but it still tasted good.
Great quick dish - love the lemon tartness and the red pepper sweetness - hav made it a number of times
Easy and quick. Great emergency meal for guests.

Mint isn't a traditional Irish flavor, but the color of the green mint mousse in this tart lends itself so well to St. Patrick's Day celebrations, I had to tie them together somehow! The Mint White Chocolate Tart takes a little bit of effort to make with its multiple steps, but the end result is fluffy, subtly sweet and has a perfect hint of mint.
Bring the bold flavors of
ginger and sesame to a
variety of meals.
Eggs Benedict, like this Cheesy Eggs Benedict, is the quintessential brunch dish, but it sure can be challenging to serve to a crowd with so many last-minute elements – toasting English muffins, poaching eggs and making hollandaise sauce. Of course, it can be made easier by toasting all the muffins on a sheet in the oven, and by poaching your eggs the day before your brunch. More ...

Manager Interview
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks – interviewed at Hewlett-Packard in September 2014.
There was an initial HR screening phone interview to check skills, reason for applying, and education. Took about 30 minutes. Two weeks later, the hiring manager arranged a phone screen interview. If selected, there will then be a panel in-person or video teleconference interview.
You could tell the hiring manager either hadn't interviewed for awhile or the HP HR department makes them stick to the usual suspect list of questions to ask: Strengths, Weaknesses.
- Usually an interview starts with an opening and story with the "getting to know you", but the manager first asked- what questions do you have about the job? Slightly threw me off because I'm used to listening for cues during the interview to then ask a probing question near the end. View Answer

Seedings at the Aussie Open
Williams Rulez
Dec 23rd, 2001, 07:14 AM
How will the players be seeded? According to their rankings or according to their performance on hardcourts??
Dec 23rd, 2001, 07:18 AM
rank, i think
Dec 23rd, 2001, 07:19 AM
its a combination
performance in the tournament in the past years too
Dec 23rd, 2001, 07:54 AM
so what ae the chances of Monica being seeded in the first 8, if it is also based on previous performances? considering Dokic is not playing too...
Dec 23rd, 2001, 09:37 AM
No chance for that to happen, I think.
They will just follow the ranks.
I don't see who of the top should give their spot to Monica.
Dec 23rd, 2001, 09:44 AM
I also think that the ranking would be the one to go with. So if this happens, any of the top 8 except Lindsay & Venus would be threatened to be out in round of 16 because of Monica.
Dec 23rd, 2001, 09:47 AM
I hope its ranking or else Lina will miss out
she could still miss out if Conchita wins a match on the Gold Coast.
Dec 23rd, 2001, 09:52 AM
will Lindsay be seeded n.1?
Dec 23rd, 2001, 09:54 AM
Lindsay should be seeded number ONE.
Dec 23rd, 2001, 10:05 AM
If Lindsay isn't seeded Number One then I will be on a flight down under to have harsh words with those Aussie officials ..ok then I won't Im to much of a wimp but Im sure Our Lindsay will sort em out good style!!!
Dec 23rd, 2001, 11:12 AM
If they use old resuts obviously Monica should be top 8 shes always got to the quarters and only lost 2 matches in the ausi open!
Dec 23rd, 2001, 11:23 AM
As queenlindsay says:
If Monica would be seeded 9, everybody in the top 8 ( except Lindsay& venus) would be endangered to be oust in the round of 16.
I really hope Monica would'nt be in Lindsay or venus bracket in the round of 16.
Dec 23rd, 2001, 01:19 PM
It's rather tough to go past the rankings without upsetting a few players.
Dec 23rd, 2001, 02:09 PM
TBE, Conchita is not playing in Gold Coast, she is playing in Auckland
Dec 23rd, 2001, 02:18 PM
TOT: she still only needs a win no matter where she plays.
Dec 23rd, 2001, 02:38 PM
Oh ok
Williams Rulez
Dec 23rd, 2001, 02:45 PM
Is any one really sure of whether seeding is done based solely on rankings? Or is it also based on past performances??
Dec 23rd, 2001, 03:59 PM
it's kinda of scary no matter how the seedings are decided... cos there are players like Mary Pierce, Anna Kournikova, Monica, Patty Schnyder(?), Iva Majoli, Barbara Schett... all capable of causing major upsets to the top 8... it's going to be an exciting Oz open!
Dec 24th, 2001, 12:08 AM
Isn't Lina ranked 34th, and Dokic, Tauziat and Huber aren't playing...so wouldn't that make her 31st and Conchita already in a seed at 32nd?
Williams Rulez
Dec 24th, 2001, 01:48 AM
I thought Conchita is ranked 35 now??
Crazy Canuck
Dec 24th, 2001, 04:39 AM
Generally with hardourts, there isn't AS MUCH variation in players performances, as there are with grass vs clay.
however if Roland Garros doesn't seed by preformance, i'll be one unhappy camper.
Williams Rulez
Dec 24th, 2001, 04:42 AM
Poor Venus.... she'll be seeded like 128th or something at RG. She lost in the first round
Nan Cu
Dec 25th, 2001, 08:47 PM
Not necessarily.
I believe the slams will rank by surface performance plus WTA Rankings. When healthy Venus does well on clay, that combined with her ranking and past performances (2 Qtrs), she shouldn't be ranked outside the top 5.
With that above mentioned criteria, and the current top 10, I think it'd be an injustice to not seed her #2 (behind JenCap), were RG to begin tomorrow.
Dec 25th, 2001, 08:54 PM
Lina is 34th but goes to #31 but after next weeks tourns Lina will fall behind Elena L to #32 or lower if Conchita wins a rd.
so its gonna be close.
Dec 26th, 2001, 09:50 AM
The Oz open will just go by ranking.. they have never changed the seeding in the past.. so since there is 32 seeds now, they will not start to change it now..

Customer Raves & Reviews
Love It!
Field of Love Save the Date Magnets I love my save the dates! I found the style I liked, but it was not in my colors. It was very simple to change all the colors to fit my wedding. The only thing is that I choose Royal Blue as my background color and it came out a little darker than I thought it would be. I wanted it to be a little brighter like it showed in the preview. But I understand that there is a difference between looking at something on a bright computer screen and real life. The quality of the magnet is great for the price. We didn't use professional engagement pictures, but ones that we had taken with or small digital camera and they still came out great. I will probably use the same design for my wedding invitations.
Cute and affordable!!
Romantic Ruche Save the Date Magnets These mini magnets were a reasonable size and price for our Save the Dates. We really wanted magnets but were concerned about whether it made sense to spend the money on them or do them ourselves. These were the perfect balance - they were excellent quality within our budget! Very happy that I ordered them!
Quick and Easy
Snapshot Sweetness Save the Date Magnets I was able to easily personalize the card and try a few different options, and am very pleased with the final product.
Easy, fun, fast
Modern Chalkboard Save the Date Magnets I ordered from here after receiving a promotional code at a bridal show. I was impressed with their selection and available styles. I found exactly what I was looking for and ordering was a breeze. When my order arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation of my order. Very classy. I'll definitely be using them again.
Beautiful packaging
Devoted Save the Date Magnets LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! our Devoted mini magnet Save the Dates! First, we were so excited to receive our save the dates!!! and the way they were packaged and delivered...we were just over the moon impressed!!! Loved the re-usable box that the magnets, carriers, envelopes and seals came in. They were all wrapped for protection....it just made opening the box that much more special! The quality of printing from our uploaded photo was perfect and the colors were exactly what I ordered. They way the colors look on the website are exactly the colors I received!!! The size of mini magnet was just perfect and the carriers that hold the magnet were just what I ordered. The Premium Smooth cardstock was a perfect thickness to hold the magnet and not make mailing too bulky!

A GUNMAN WAS recorded on video surveillance robbing a man who used an ATM to withdraw money at TD Bank Tuesday night in Manchester.
Man reports robbery at ATM in Manchester
The bank customer reported the robbery about 5:30 a.m. the following morning.
He told investigators he went to the bank about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night and withdrew some money. As he exited the secured foyer where the ATM is located, a man with a black handgun came out of some bushes, grabbed his arm, pointed the gun at him and demanded cash.
The man gave up the money and the robber ran off, after first apologizing to him, police said.
The robber is described as a white man, about 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-9, with an average build. He had brown hair in a short buzz cut, blue eyes and was clean shaven. He wore a white T-shirt and dark-colored cargo shorts.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips for cash rewards may be made through Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org .

I love this plug because I can fish it so many ways. I can fish it as a wake bait, walk the dog, swim at any chosen depth up to 6 - 8 feet by dropping my rod tip and changing the retrieve speed, or as a jerk bait. It is a big fish bait too. I'm looking forward to using it a lot more in the future.

GUELPH — Lesley Johnston thought she might have something of value in a crate at home, but wasn't sure — so she lugged the heavy piece Saturday morning to the Guelph Public Library, where Bonhams Canada was offering appraisals.
They reserved assessment pending more research, but were impressed with the large, strikingly beautiful Scottish landscape painting of highland cattle, created by artist Louis Hunt in 1911.
"It went from my grandparents to my parents to me," Johnston said moments later outside the library, noting it came into her possession five years ago when her mother came to live with her in Guelph.
"It's been crated ever since. I don't know where to put it. I don't have a room long enough."
Bonhams is making inquiries about the painting in Edinburgh, and hasn't yet said if it's valuable. Her guess?
"It probably is," she said. "I know it's worth something."
Whatever its value, Johnston said since her ancestry is in part Scottish, she's pleased to have this lasting connection to the past.
For others, the attraction was clearing up a mystery, which drew Brian German and his spouse, Weizhen Dong, carrying a Victorian reverse etch print of a woman and farm animal.
"We thought it was from Quebec — Laura Secord and her cow," German said, referring to the famous heroine of the War of 1812.
Instead, it was an 1860s painting from England by artist Thomas Atkinson. It features a Scottish peasant in a field with her cow and dog.
"I got it from my mother. It goes back almost 100 years," German said, enthralled with the mystery woman in the painting. "She's so beautiful."
It may be worth only a few hundred dollars, but it'll go with its gilded frame right back up in a prominent place at home.
"Thank you for putting the show on," German said to library program co-ordinator Andrea Curtis.
The librarian said about 45 people signed up to have a wide variety of artistic and functional pieces appraised, items including paintings, an urn, three-handled Irish mug, porcelain, native art, jewelry, a lamp, china and an ivory brooch.
"No item has been the same," Curtis said.
Some owners were looking for value, but not all. "Some people are just curious" about a piece's history.
Curtis said the appraisers, Perry Tung and Jack Kerr-Wilson, were fine with that.
"They said: 'We love hearing the stories.'"
Individual appraisals were $20 or $15 for library members. Library chief executive Kitty Pope said the appraisers graciously donated proceeds to the fund toward an anticipated new downtown library.
She said the appraisal event could be the first of many.
"For libraries, it's all about information. This is just another way for people to obtain that."
For owners wanting to learn about their possessions, it's exciting, Pope added.

Tampa, Florida's third-most populous city, sold $121 million of tax-exempt water and sewer bonds to refund outstanding debt as municipal issuance drops amid budget cuts by borrowers.
U.S. municipal-bond issuance will decrease every year to as low as $175 billion in 2017 as rising interest rates and austerity measures curb borrowing, according to Janney Montgomery Scott LLC.
Investors in U.S. municipal bonds should look back to James Madison's tenure in the White House for guidance on how far tax-exempt interest rates may fall.
The U.S. municipal-bond market is performing a vanishing act.
The Build America Bonds program, a boon to state and local governments that lapsed last year in the face of Republican opposition in Congress, would be revived under President Barack Obama 's proposed budget.
The supply slump that's fueling the best run for municipal debt since 2009 is poised to end next year as governments ramp up borrowing for long-delayed projects from water to transportation, Citigroup Inc. predicts.
"There are currently no signs that a significant amount of reform will occur to New Jersey's spending or budgeting habits."
- Tom Kozlik on Dec 03, 2014

Title: Sources of information on native plants iin Ypsilanti, Michigan area
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Hello, I am a scout with Troop 243. I am interested in knowing if you have information available to give me regarding the Native Plants that have been discovered in the Ypsilanti, Michigan area. I need this information for my rank advancement in scouting. I will be speaking with my scoutmaster soon and wondered if you could help me out. Thank you very much.
ANSWER:There are several resources available that might have the information you need about the native plants of Southeastern Michigan. At the top of the list is the Michigan Natural Features Inventory which maintains databases with inventories of Michigan's special plants--those that are endangered or threatened. You can also access specific county records of endangered and threatened species on their web page. Although they don't specifically say so, it is possible that they also have county records or lists of non-threatened species. You can contact Michigan Natural Features Inventory for information about access to their databases.
Another possible resource is Michigan's Conservation Districts; in particular, Washtenaw County Conservation District.
The City of Ann Arbor has an abridged lists of species native to Southeast Michigan that are recommended for use in landscaping.
Michigan Botanical Club is another possible resource. There is a Southeastern Chapter.
Michigan's Department of Natural Resources has an overview of Michigan plants with links to other sources.
Finally, the Michigan Chapter of the Nature Conservancy might have inventories or checklists of native Michigan plants for some areas.

THE DOCTOR'S WORLD; Tale of Triumph on Every Aspirin Bottle
By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN M.D.
Published: May 11, 1999
In 1951, pediatricians in Sydney, Australia, were puzzled by the death of a 10-month-old boy. The child had been screaming and vomiting for 30 hours, and doctors believed that he had a systemic infection or meningitis. But it was neither.
Peering into a standard microscope at tissues from the boy's autopsy, Dr. Ralph Douglas Kenneth Reye found no evidence of infection. Instead, he noticed distinct liver and brain damage of a type that he had never seen. Over the next 11 years at the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children, Dr. Reye identified 20 more cases of what his colleagues nicknamed Reye's syndrome. The doctors suspected the damage had resulted from a toxin they could not identify.
In 1963, Dr. Reye (pronounced like rye) described the cases in The Lancet. Although the report came from the same hospital where in 1942 Dr. Norman Gregg first recognized the damage that rubella virus infection in a pregnant woman could cause in her fetus, Reye's syndrome drew little attention. Still, these reports started a chain of events that led to one of the century's major public health triumphs, while leaving the man the syndrome was named for nearly obscure.
Two decades passed before American epidemiologists linked Reye's syndrome and the use of aspirin to control fevers among children with viral infections, particularly influenza and chickenpox.
Then aspirin manufacturers and the Government fought acrimoniously over the Food and Drug Administration's efforts to issue warning labels on aspirin containers. The drug industry attacked the aspirin studies as methodologically unsound. But news reports led to a sharp drop in both the use of aspirin among children and the incidence of Reye's syndrome in the United States.
The 555 cases in 1980 represent the largest number recorded in this country in any year, though that number is believed to be a fraction of those that did occur. Even though it was uncommon, Reye's syndrome became a household word. Parents feared their children might develop the relentless vomiting, fever, convulsions, delirium, screaming, intense irritability and violent movements that characterize the syndrome. The symptoms begin from 1 to 14 days after an illness like flu or chickenpox. If the syndrome is not recognized and treated in time, coma and death come quickly.
In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have reported that Reye's syndrome has virtually disappeared from the United States. Seven or fewer cases were reported each year from 1994 through 1998. When cases occur now, doctors are urged to look for a genetic disorder known as an inborn error of metabolism.
Direct proof that aspirin causes Reye's syndrome is still lacking; the evidence is based on the statistical association between the declining use of aspirin in children and the incidence of the syndrome.
Attaching a doctor's name to a disease or syndrome is one of medicine's highest accolades, and it often thrusts the doctor into the limelight. But not Dr. Reye, the father of pediatric pathology in Australia.
Colleagues interviewed described Dr. Reye as a tall, stately, reserved man who spoke slowly, never wasted words, was courteous to everyone and did meticulous work. He sat at a large desk in a large paneled office with the door closed. Although that reserve was intimidating to some younger doctors, when a physician entered to discuss a case Dr. Reye would devote full attention and would soon turn to a nearby microscope to point out the damage.
Dr. Leslie Hardacre is credited with first naming the syndrome. He said he wrote it in a patient's chart in 1959 as a joke. Dr. Hardacre recalled Dr. Reye as ''a pretty aloof guy who you could not get very close to.''
Dr. Patricia M. Bale, a pathologist who worked with Dr. Reye, remembers him as very social in a small group, but shunning parties, travel and scientific meetings, even when invited as an honoree. He drove a polished Jaguar and spent hours discussing the relative merits of car engines.
Dr. Reye spent his entire career at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, where he also first described the pathology of a type of tumor in infants that some doctors, in a play on the medical term for tumors called Reyeomas. But he was not of the publish-or-perish mentality, writing only 32 papers.
Although Reye's syndrome bears one name, it took many scientists elsewhere to make it a public health success story. It also took two colleagues, Dr. Graeme Morgan and Dr. Jim Baral, to push Dr. Reye to publish his findings about the syndrome. Dr. Baral said that when he began training at the hospital in 1961, one of his first patients was admitted with the diagnosis of Reye's syndrome. Dr. Baral had never heard of it. So he consulted textbooks and journals.
''I couldn't find any reference because it had not been reported,'' said Dr. Baral, now a dermatologist in Manhattan. ''Dr. Reye sat on this for 10 years.''
Dr. Baral then began discussing the syndrome with Dr. Reye. Soon, Dr. Reye invited Dr. Baral to spend a year training with him in pathology. The hospital's chief resident, Dr. Morgan, became interested in the syndrome and also spent a year working with Dr. Reye. Both young doctors prevailed on Dr. Reye to publish the cases.
Dr. Morgan went to Dr. Reye, saying, ''Listen, it's about time we reported this, and I am willing to help.'' Dr. Reye agreed.
''Graeme and I dug up the charts on all the cases and we spent a year reviewing every item in them,'' Dr. Baral said.

And I always thought Nagato was interested, maybe just in a friendly manner, in Kyon's safety. Or maybe in a practical way? The normal person among them as he is.

Same here. Mostly because Nagato's always backed Kyon up in times of trouble... I think she's nice, under the coldish look outside.Quote:

We'll never know who lent Kyon the cardigan... although if it was Mikuru... wouldn't she be freezing her ass off? Nagato on the other hand, won't feel cold for obvious reasons.

Yeah, Nagato without cardigan is just plain wrong. It must have been Mikuru then.
Nagato could just summon a new cardigan... she's a witch afterall :P
