Alice Kessler-Harris: Lillian Hellman's Convictions
The distinguished historian Eric Hobsbawm referred to what has come to be known as the short 20th century, from 1914 to 1991, as the history of the relationship of the West with communism. As it took power in the Soviet Union and then spun out to influence all aspects of personal and political life, the idea of communism and the reality of Soviet influence penetrated every corner of the world. The way we write history, particularly in the United States, ranks among the least visible and yet most unfortunate consequences of the conflict. I discovered that as I struggled to write about the American playwright, activist, and, yes, one-time Communist, Lillian Hellman.
It is no secret that Hellman, like many intellectuals and artists of her generation, briefly lent her name and her good offices to American communism. Affiliation with the Communist Party USA and allegiance to the idea of communism constituted meaningful, and perhaps for a short time even central, parts of her life. But for historians of the 20th century, questions of communist affiliation in thought or deed have become much more than a brief encounter. Rather, such questions, and the mirror issue of anticommunism, have become ways of seeing, indispensable lenses.
Particularly in 20th-century American biography, they are often the canvas on which a life plays out, no matter how inconsequential the association. Like hidden incest, or a concealed lie, communism often became the shadow player (the secret sharer) in the story, the scab that had to be scratched. Considerations of affiliation and loyalty (within the CPUSA, to one faction or another, or to none at all) anchored the life. Assessments of timing and contrition measured the worth and value of the human being, inevitably coloring him or her pink or red or an innocent white....

So we've finally seen a release of a new Hitman title. Absolution brings back Agent 47, his Silverballer pistols and a new "Intuition" system that allows 47 to view the paths of enemy AI in the game world. Intuition can be turned off for a "purer" experience though (which is a good thing, as it can really be a crutch on the lower difficulty levels).
While numerous reviews have covered the story (such as it is) and gameplay elements in great detail, my concern lies with the light-RPG elements at play. Minor spoilers ahead: Take the tutorial stage, where in one moment you are explicitly told that a Hitman "leaves no trace" and in the next moment "you can proceed as you fit." These two statements are at odds with one another as I'll describe below and that is ultimately disappointing.
As you proceed to the first objective you have an option to put sleeping pills in a chef's meal-in-progress, which promptly knocks him out when he tastes it. (Dialogue here is hilarious). When I did this, I was surprised to see my score go from zero to negative. Why? The chef was a civilian. The score also went negative when I shot someone other than the target. The score going negative is not the issue but when the score ties directly to how Agent 47 gains enhanced abilities (better aim and less recoil with pistols, for example) this becomes problematic.
I know freedom of choice is not the same as freedom from consequence but in this case, you have a quasi-sandbox world that begs to be experimented with; unfortunately, you end up being punished for playing the game in a manner the developer disapproves of. GTA has its "Wanted" system, which one could argue is similar – play a certain way, pay the price. The difference there though is that penalty is not as severe.
In the end you have an excellent game in Hitman Absolution but you don't truly have the freedom you think you do. If a player would rather complete a contract in Hitman by killing everyone in sight, that should be possible without handicapping him/her afterwards. As it stands, the optimal way to play this game is how the developers want you to, promised freedom notwithstanding.

The Games of Spring, Pt. 1
March 15, 2005 - Let's face it, spring isn't normally the pinnacle of big-ass, AAA titles. That time is usually reserved for the October-November. But on Xbox this year things are different. More than a handful of top-notch games are heading to your local retailer. After looking at the updated release schedule, we realized there are so many games coming this spring, we had to split this feature into two parts. What's more, aside from the big titles that you can probably predict (if you regularly follow the news), is the substantial allotment of smaller, unique games that tend to get unnoticed and ignored. You know, games such as Myst IV Revelation, Iron Phoenix, The Shield, Obscure, and Stolen.
Majesco Sees Strong Q1 Numbers
March 10, 2005 - Majesco today announced its first quarter 2005 financials, posting strong revenues supported by the company's portable video and gadget products.
Psychonauts: The Saga of Goggalor
March 4, 2005 - Psychonauts is the creation of criminal mastermind Tim Schafer. The former LucasArts employee kick-started his own company four years ago and finally, after years of toiling in a sweatshop environment, Schafer and his band of developer elves have just about wrapped up work on their first platform-adventure title. For the past two weeks, I've been pestering Majesco for a build of Schafer's mind-bending game. My persistence (and annoyance) paid off when a preview build of the first six hours arrived at the office the other day. I loved the one-level demo that came a week earlier, but how would a longer gameplay experience fare?
Psychonauts Demo Hands-On
February 22, 2005 - Tim Schafer -- the man who brought innovative PC titles Full Throttle and Grim Fandango to the world while at LucasArts -- is finally back in action with Psychonauts. The title, which was dropped by Microsoft a year ago, is set to hit store shelves in late April for PS2, Xbox, and PC. Majesco has made one of its wisest moves in signing Psychonauts for publication. For a company that needs a few high-quality titles under its belt, Majesco could not have made a better choice. Though I was only given a one-level demo to kick around, I'm confident that Psychonauts is the real deal.
The Fight for Original Games
February 4, 2005 - In the year 2005, the videogame industry will reach a zenith in its 30-year plus lifespan, one that is more important under the surface of things than the average gamer might realize. This year, the industry, primarily the console side, heads into the final lap of the current generation. Sony is in its fifth year with PlayStation 2, while Microsoft and Nintendo enter into their fourth year. The next generation is on its way with Microsoft leading its competitors by coming out first, presumably this fall. We're about to start again.
Tim Schafer: A Man and His Beard
February 3, 2005 - Tim Schafer built his reputation at LucasArts, working on some of the most popular games of the '90s, including Full Throttle and Grim Fandango. Schafer left LucasArts to create his own company, Double Fine Productions. After four years, Double Fine's first game is just about ready to roll. Psychonauts ships this spring on Xbox, PS2, and PC. We sat down with a bearded Tim Schafer to discuss the upcoming action-platformer. Though Schafer now looks like a young George Lucas, we did our best to keep our composure.
Psychonauts Lives!
October 5, 2004 - It's been a while since I sat in a room with walnut mogul and video game developer Tim Schafer, but I finally managed to sneak into Double Fine today for a chance to take a fresh gander at Psychonauts. The action-platformer was once a Microsoft title, but is now in Majesco's hands. Psychonauts is set to ship in Spring 2005 for Xbox and PS2 and after spending some quality time with the title, seeing a few levels in action, I think it's safe to say the big MS has let go of a solid gold hit. Their loss, Majesco's gain.
This is Your Brain on Nauts
October 5, 2004 - Since Majesco picked up Psychonauts, there's been all manner of tasty cerebral activity.
Majesco Confirms Psychonauts
August 3, 2004 - Majesco today confirmed with IGNXbox that Tim Schafer's artful, dream-like platformer, once strangely cast aside by Microsoft, has found at home. Psychonauts is now due to be published by Majesco for first half 2005.
Off the Record 07.23.04
July 23, 2004 - Don't touch that dial. DO NOT adjust your computer monitor. You have just entered the rumor zone. You've dialed into the inner workings of IGN Xbox. Off the Record is the ongoing and unofficial place to learn what's going in behind the scenes of the videogame industry, specifically the Xbox sector of it. We extract news when the other sites are ready to go to sleep, find news in all the right places, and dig a little deeper to give you an insight into what publishers and developers are working on behind the scenes before they make any kind of announcement on business wire or even on their own Websites. What do we know? When we find out about it, we tell you here, in Off the Record. Check back each Friday to find out what else has happened in this fast-paced, ever-changing industry.
Games of 2005: Drunk and Disorderly Speculation
June 28, 2004 - Last week we took a look at the Big Games of 2004 with the promise to discuss the games of 2005. We fulfilled that haughty promise, and now we've got something else in store. Our bloody damn speculations for 2005. What's the next big thing in a year? Is it too painful to even contemplate? We have not seen these games (oh well, we have seen a few), and all we know is that they're on some big white sheet in some publisher's office sitting there collecting dust. We also know for damned sure they ain't coming this year.
Psychonauts Cut
March 30, 2004 - Some might have trouble faulting Microsoft for cutting their middle-of-the-road sports titles, but those aren't the only titles they've placed on the chopping block. IGN has just learned that Microsoft has cut its ties with Tim Schafer and his upcoming platformer Psychonauts. A game that hasn't really been heard from in some time, Psychonauts puts you in the brain and body of a young mentalist, Raz. To solve a series of strange kidnappings at Psychic Camp, Raz must enter the minds of various sleeping victims. Each unique level has the flavor of the victims mind and from what we'd seen of the game, it looked like a Tim Burton movie gone wonderously right.
Our Most Anticipated Games of 2004
January 22, 2004 - Normally this is the time in a console's life cycle where we start getting the first exciting tidbits of info about the next generation of systems. In a few weeks we'll mark the five year anniversary of the revelation of Sony's plans to launch a so-called PlayStation 2. Because of this, we thought 2004 would be the year where we begin fantasizing about the next version of Xbox that's surely on the way. And who's to say we won't? The fact of the matter is there's a ton of truly exciting games on the way in 2004. Some of them may end up defining just what the Xbox is. Fewer of the may end up defining this entire generation of videogames or maybe even changing the direction of the industry for years to come. The next Xbox may be on the way, but until we get some hearty details and a sneak peak or two, there are far too many 2004 (or thereabouts) worth our attention and that we can get excited about right now.
Let's Go Crazy
July 17, 2002 - IGN picks the brain of Psychonauts creator Tim Schafer.
E3 2002: Psychonauts Hands-On
May 22, 2002 - We wrack our brains getting up close with Tim Schafer's new platformer.
Microsoft: E3 Booth Report
May 22, 2002 - This year is Microsoft's second E3, and after a little disappointing initial outing, everyone wants to see what the giant has to show. Thankfully, MS's E3 presence is much stronger than the previous year with big-name headliners in their booth as well as a few surprises that are in the running for Game of the Show.
E3 2002: Psychonauts
May 21, 2002 - In development at fledgling studio, Double Fine Productions, Psychonauts is the latest title from Tim Schafer - the creative mind behind many a classic LucasArts title, including Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle. As Raz, a promising pupil attending a psychic summer camp, players will find themselves embroiled in a nefarious plot that sees the camp's students being kidnapped and their brains stolen. While working on his levitation merit badge, Raz stumbles on the scheme and takes it upon himself to put a stop to it. And with a bit of luck, he'll be able to earn the ultimate title; that of Psychonaut, in the process.

First year as a stepmom is terrible
Need help and advice. My husband and I have been married for 8 months. I have 2 SD. 15 and 12. They do not care for stepmom very much. The oldest SD has not been over to see us since May. When she was over in May she was very rude to me. BM would call SD and tell her to tell me and her dad to do this and to do that. We HAD to take her to do this and to do that. Well me being the bad stepmom told her we were not gonna do that anymore. Not gonna play those games anymore. I told her that if she was going to come to visit we are going to do what we have planned not BM. My husband bought me a new car and oldest SD through a little temper tantrum and told me that is the kind of car her mom wants. Well oldest SD hasnt been back. She has been ugly to her dad as well. Not talking to him when she sees him at youngest SD games. Not a call on Fathers Day or his Bday either which upset him. Well now that it is Christmas soon she has been talking to him again. We had talked about it had decided that if she game back she would have to apologize for the things she has done and said. Dad agreed but now he is letting her come over and not going to make her apologize to me or my daughter. I just feel like an outsider and dont know what to do. I have tried everything to get the SD's to like me.
"We had talked about it had decided that if she game back she would have to apologize for the things she has done and said. Dad agreed but now he is letting her come over and not going to make her apologize to me or my daughter. I just feel like an outsider and dont know what to do. I have tried everything to get the SD's to like me."
There's your problem:
Dad is now half of a team, & he owes you the loyalty (not to mention the respect he'd show to anybody else) to stick to your agreement.
Remind him, & insist that he follow through.
& stop trying to make this girl like you;
it hands her the power to make you feel like an outsider in your own home.
You & your husband must be the "insiders", the team, & she, like anybody else, must obey your rules when she's there.
That would include being a civil human being.
I wish you the best.
I agree with Sylvia. Look I can only imagine how it must be to have to deal with a teen SD In a NEW relationship. The car thing made me giggle only bc I remember when I was 15 and my dad bought SM a new car and I was wanting a new car for myself. I was Soooo jealous!! That's all it is.
I have dealt with the struggles being a BM and DD having cheer on Saturdays that SM refused to let her go to buy my arguement was when I signed her up I called BD. Told him DD wanted to do cheer but here was
the schedule. I agreed to pay for all costs associated with it and to even
give him extra time to make up for the 2 hrs on Saturday he missed by
maybe offering my Saturday or Sunday afternoons. BD was fine with it
until SM came in the picture and said NO, BM and DD will not schedule
events on our weekends. That made me angry because he originally
agreed knowing if DD missed practice she would not get to perform. Same
with soccer. Thursday nights for two and a half months so we switched to
his night being Wednesdays. He was missing NO time with DD but SM
came in and said NO the order states Thursdays. So DD missed soccer
and cheer and has not participated in those activities since. I had to find
something that was not on the weekends and was not on Thursdays.
With that being said, does not sound like your sd's BM consulted with you at all on the activities ... So I feel you are in the right to say No we aren't running around doing what she says on our time.
I think that if BD does not stand by you and stick to your agreement you are just between a rock and a hard place. Period. You have to talk with him and let him know what he is doing and how it's making you feel. Use I statements not YOU statements like - when you don't stick to our agreement about the apology, I feel like you don't respect me as your equal. I bet he just misses SD and will do anything to get in her good graces but that just enables her bad behavior towards you.
Don't let her make you feel like an outsider. I normally would not suggest this but in your situation I think this may help you. If and when SD comes over, make plans for yourself and your DD or with friends. Allow BD and his kids time alone while you make yourself busy and unavailable. They may start respecting you more when they see it doesn't effect you and you aren't 'threatened' by their presence. You are simply respecting the father/daughter relationship by giving them one on one time. Our therapist has suggested that DD and Bd spend a couple hours without SM and without stepsister atleast once a week. That way DD gets her time with her daddy that she so desperately yearns for. And she enjoys the time with SM more because she isn't constantly there. I had a bit of a problem with this at first bc I think it's giving my DD the wrong idea that the family unit bio plus step plus half or step siblings are not a full unit but when talking to DD she says 'i don't know why but I just want to be with my daddy sometimes alone' and I just realized there is no reason for her feelings, she just feels that way... And I make sure I spend one on one time with each of my bio kids seperately so they each have special time as the 'only' child it makes sense for BD to do that as well.
Good luck. Let us know.
I think your advice on letting BD and SD have their time is wonderful. I agree with it 100%
What is funny is that when I started doing this my guy would think I was trying to seperate myself from them. I think it was a control thing. I hated it. I wanted them to enjoy their time together because I didn't always feel like I should be there. I felt like I was invading their space sometimes and it was awkward. I didn't take offense. I just saw it as an opportunity to have "me time."
Well...I stopped doing my own thing and resentment began to build up. I hated it. I felt like a prisoner.
Needless to say...over many obstacles...this doesn't happen anymore and we are both much better together because of it.
I am not sure that I have alot of advise. But I am also new at being a stepmom. We have been married a year and a half and I dont have any kids of my own.
I have SD14, SD13, SS11. We get them EOW,and Wednesday's after school. The oldest SD14 is the one I have the hardest time with. The girls would rather not come visit their dad at all. The dont call on birthday either, they only call when they want something. He calls them evry night and leaves a message. They never answer.
They at first were very ugly but my DH stood up for me after we had a few converstions about it. He wanted me to stand up for myself (i do now) but at first I was scared to hurt their feelings, to offend them, make my DH mad, make BM mad.
The crazy thing is when they are being ugly to me if I do say something to let them know I will not tolerate that, then they are nicer, and alot more respectful. This just happened the other day. SD14 was sitting on couch, my DH was by the back door, I asked him to let our dog in, she piped and said "why dont you get up and let her in yourself" I looked her in the face and told her to keep her mouth shut and not to speak to me if she didnt have anything nice to say. 10 minutes later she sat next to me at dinner and told me all about her acting lessons and the skits they did. My point is stand up for yourself let them know you will not tolerate the ugliness.
On the weekends we get the kids BM calls my DH. He litterally has to write everything down that she tells him. SS game times, SD game times, (btw they dont speak to dad at games either if BM is around)acting class times, ect. Yes this aggravates me but he can not say "No we are doing that on our time" its the kids activity, does not matter who's time it is. They live with BM she is the one who knows thier schedules and what they have going on. And usually if they need anything, like science fair supplies, school supplies, new glasses and of that kind of stuff she will tell them to have dad get it, which he does. So I would not think to much about that part as long its legit stuff that for the kids.
I understand trying to make SK's like you. I still do this and cause myself more greif because I try so hard. I have noticed when I dont try so hard its usually a better outcome.
The advise about planning something with your DD or freind and giving dad time alone with his kids is great. We went to a stepfamily seminar and that was suggested. Just be careful of how often you take that time. I did this before we went to the seminar, I hang out in my room to get some peace (still do at times)my DH did not like this at all. He thought I was trying to get away from his kids ( I was, lol)and it hurt all thier feelings. I work every other Sat which happend to fall on the wkends we have kids, the kids got offended that I did not want to be there on Saturdays with them. I figured out they want me there. When I get home they surround me and tell me everything that happened since I've been gone. So time away is good, family bonding time is good too.
We have had a rough year, we have had really good times, and really bad times. I can say now I do love my Stepkids, I would do anything for them. The way they put it at the seminar is "Stepfamilies are like a good pot roast being cooked in a crock pot" It takes a while for it all to cook and come together but ends up better for taking the time to simmer than to cook it so fast.
I apoligize for such a long post, but when I read yours it hit home and wanted to tell you my experiences.
Good Luck!!

Video Game Industry Podcast
Video Game Law BlogDecember 07, 2010
Professor Doug Lichtman at the UCLA School of Law very kindly brought to our attention his podcast of a discussion with senior legal officials from EA, Activision, and Take-Two about legal and other issues in the video game industry.
The podcast can be accessed here. It is about an hour long, and can be streamed or downloaded.


text: My wife and I are international travelers from the United States. We love going to new places and experiencing new things. We have been all over Europe, parts of Africa, and throughout the United States. We are clean, organized and really like to keep to our selves. We truly love each others company, and are not into the party scene. We are non-smokers, which is a plus for anyone that would rent to us!! We usually do monthly stays, with the shortest time being 1 month.

Would you like a side of hepatitis A shot with your Happy Meal? As it turns out, your child may just be able to receive a number of vaccinations.
Vaccine educator Dr. Sherri Tenpenny announced that she has cancelled speaking appearances due to bomb threats and other violent activity.
The CDC announced that 1 in 68 children in America suffer from autism. What is to blame for the incredible rise in children with autism in the U.S.?
As an adult, you can manage to avoid toxic cancer treatments, but if you attempt to seek alternative cancer treatments for your child, you risk freedom.
Aluminum has been shown to destroy the brain and cause numerous diseases, yet it is still in vaccines, chemtrails, and more. Here is how to detox aluminum.
It seems that some doctors are extremely concerned about the hepatitis B vaccination, calling it dangerous and completely unnecessary to give to a child.
One of the biggest controversies raging among anti-vaccine supporters and those who still believe in being vaccinated is over the use of toxic mercury.
An investigation has uncovered some serious conflicts of interest between the World Health Organization and big pharma, unveiling a flu 'conspiracy'.
Did you know the ACOG and CDC are not legally required to tell the truth about anything, including vaccines? Just one downfall to America's health system.
Based on recent findings, Americans are sicker and have a higher chance of dying from all causes than people living in 16 other developed nations.
In our society today, newborns are injected with loads of chemicals nearly as soon as they enter the world. In the name of "prevention", we give them vaccines that we aren't even sure are safe. As a matter of fact, in many cases, we know them to be unsafe. This is the case with the hepatitis B vaccine, approved for infants at birth but admittedly responsible for causing serious illness and even death.
Senior Associate Editor of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Ken Flegel, advocates compulsory flu vaccination for all healthcare personnel, citing patient harm. Flegel's claims that vaccines are effective and compulsory vaccination would mean fewer people are infected with the flu, medical institutions lose fewer man-hours from sick employees. His logic, however, is flawed and littered with benefits not to frail patients but to pharmaceutical companies.
The World Health Organization issued a global alert on Monday after a Qatari man was hospitalized with a previously unknown SARS-like virus after traveling to Saudi Arabia. The same virus supposedly infected and killed another man who had visited the area.
In 2011, Walgreen Co. brought 5.5 million people through their doors for influenza vaccinations—and was sure to give them coupons on the way out. Unfortunately, this seemingly benign marketing campaign could have bigger, more troublesome side effects. In addition to the ineffectiveness and even danger of many vaccines, receiving them at a pharmacy as opposed to a physician's office disrupts medical record continuity.
If you aren't aware that vaccines are a controversial matter, you haven't been paying attention. The government and big pharma would have you believe your life is at risk if you don't vaccinate. But, growing research suggests vaccines aren't effective in the prevention of disease and that they may actually cause more harm than good.
Vaccinations via subdermal injection have been used for the past century, with the theory being that vaccinations boost your immune system and allow your body to resist deadly viruses. While it may seem like a legitimate reason to vaccinate, unfortunately these vaccines are oftentimes more damaging and harmful than they are helpful. Recently, a report from the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology found that aluminum hydroxide, the main metal-based adjuvant present in vaccines…
When science is biased to comply with a certain agenda, the research can be confusing at best. Such is the case with the most recent attempt to divert attention from early childhood vaccinations as a causal factor for autism. The study was conducted at UC Davis and the findings were published in a late 2011 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences as "Brain enlargement is associated with regression in preschool-age boys with autism spectrum disorders."

Lewis Center is a small, exurban community of nearby Columbus, OH. Situated in the heart of Delaware County, this neighborhood is close to attractions such as Alum Creek State Park, the Olentangy River and the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. Although the community is unincorporated, it is growing at a rapid pace as families from Columbus seek out a safe and family-friendly place to live. If you're looking for excellent schools, proximity to shopping and the convenience of living close to a big city, Lewis Center is a great place to rent an apartment.
Lewis Center became a village in 1850 when the Lewis family donated land to build a railroad station. The nearby Alum Creek soon became a well-known path on the Underground Railroad. Since the year 2000, the neighborhood has grown in size as many shopping centers and subdivisions were built and began to attract many families.
Today, Lewis Center has a population of just under 25,000 people. This rapidly growing community has seen a population increase of 122 percent since the year 2000. As a small town, the residents place a high level of importance on their excellent school system, youth sports and opportunities for outdoor recreation.
If you're an outdoor enthusiast, you can go hiking at nearby Highbanks Metro Park, which features a 100-foot shale cliff and has nesting bald eagles. You can ride a bike along the scenic Olentangy River Trail. During the summer, you can enjoy water sports at the Alum Creek Reservoir or go fishing in Alum Creek.
Collegiate and professional sports fans will have plenty to do while renting a place in the neighborhood. You can head south on U.S. 23 about 15 miles and watch the Ohio State Buckeyes playing football, basketball, baseball and other sports. You can also catch a game of the Columbus Crew, which is a professional soccer team. Downtown Columbus is only a 20-minute drive from Lewis Center, and you can catch a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game at Nationwide Arena.
You'll need a car to get around in town, as there are not any public transit options available in the community. However, you can drive to nearby Westerville and catch a COTA bus into Columbus. COTA offers bus routes throughout the city, including summertime service to the zoo and year-round service to Port Columbus International Airport.
If you are looking to further your education, you have come to the right place. Central Ohio has world-class educational institutions where you can earn an associate's, bachelor's, master's or doctorate degree. The Ohio State University is just a 20 minute drive away from where you're renting an apartment. The Delaware campus of Columbus State Community College is just a few miles away. This community college has a degree partnership with Ohio State University. Also in Delaware, Ohio Wesleyan University offers many degree programs for undergraduate and graduate study.
The economy in this town and throughout Delaware County has been growing at a rapid pace over the past ten years. The area is a net importer of jobs, meaning there are often more jobs available than workers to fill them. Some of the fastest growing industries include education, manufacturing and insurance. A few of the leading employers include Honda of America, OhioHealth and Cardinal Health, Inc.

Worst: Stacey Dash Slammed for Supporting Mitt Romney
When Dash came out in support of the Republican candidate for the highest office in the land this past October, people were understandably shocked. But despite her unpopular opinions, the Clueless star deserves the right to free speech like anybody, a right that was threatened when angry words and even death threats landed in her inbox and on her Twitter feed. Thankfully, many of Dash's celebrity pals, almost all Democrats, spoke out in her defense and helped keep her haters at bay.

RIM Doesn't Want 200 Fart Apps 244
from the do-not-want dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
'We don't need 200 fart apps in App World. Those are apps you'll use three or four times then never open again.
Considering that only 20% of iPhone App installs [itworld.com] get used more than once, I'd say that the BlackBerry fart apps are doing pretty well, in comparison.
For what it's worth... I use the iPhone for business. Battery lasts two days, easily. I also have some personal apps on it, but mainly I use it for work-related e-mail.
I had a BBerry before that and hated it.
But that's me. I'm glad there are choices.
I was recently on a business trip and had my blackberry at my hip.
On a trip, I needed translator software, so went to RIM app world and found my options limited, i "trialed" their $30.00 french translator. (Let me say first I tried to use the web interface for google, but it took so long and so many clicks on the BB it was unusable consistently).
Well it was useless. Didn't do phrases, no real options, only did 1 word at a time. WTF? $30.00?!?
Luckily I had my ipad handy and saw what was available on the app store there. For 1.99 I got an offline app that KILLED the blackberry app in terms of features and usability.
So, in real work business usage, I have to say, RIM, you've lost me personally, but do continue to make back bench, locked in deals with CEO's to get your phones locked into corporations while you can.
Smart people use smartphones and want usability and fart apps for novelties to take their brains away from work once in awhile.
Yo Grark
Knowing that RIM wants to push me into ad-laden crapware saved me the time of going down to the 'phone store and even looking at their stuff.
So, in real work business usage, I have to say, RIM, you've lost me personally, but do continue to make back bench, locked in deals with CEO's to get your phones locked into corporations while you can.
Um... Businesses don't prefer the Blackberry over the iPhone because RIM pays them to. They prefer it because the Blackberry comes with real security and centralized management solutions while the iPhone comes with... farting noises.
Design your store like Slashdot, let the users moderate things down and then browse at -1 for fart apps.
Why is this such an issue? Because Steve Jobs said it first?
"Mr. Watson, come here, I want you." -- Alexander Graham Bell

They say Opposites Attract!......well at least that's what seems to appeal to me. I was just going through my Pinterest Boards for inspiration and I noticed that I am attracted to contrasts when it comes to decor. There is just something about a white painted room with touches of black furniture to ground everything. One of my favourite looks.....like "Ebony & Ivory", perfect harmony. That was my inspiration to paint this pristine antique bedroom set that dates from the late 1940's.
The dressers have beautiful carved wood handles which I wanted to highlight with lots of chipping paint. To get the "chippy" effect with chalk-like paint, you have to wet-distress your furniture as soon as the paint dries. A wet pot-scrubber/sponge works well for this.
Here is a close-up.
To get the contrasting look, I painted the dressers in "Simplicity" (a pure white) and the bed in "Liquorice" (a pure black) Country Chic Paint. I was actually surprised that the pure white paint only required two coats. Often white coloured paints can be very transparent and need multiple more coats. The whole set was then sealed with natural wax.
The bed is a beautiful 4-post bed. Would be great for a guest bedroom.
When it comes to dressers with attached swivel mirrors, I personally prefer to remove the mirror from the dresser and hang just the framed mirror separately. To me it's just a fresher look. How do you feel? Leave mirrors attached or not? Might me a topic for Miss Mustard Seed's Design Ramblings!!!!
Right now it's just sitting and leaning on some books while it finds a new home.
It also came with one end table. Not very usual for a set from this period.
This set was fabricated in Owen Sound, Ontario by The National Table Co., Ltd.
Here is another marking I found on the bed.
Below is a "Before" picture of the end table and bed. It will give you an idea of how the bedroom set looked like before it got its makeover. The sellers were initially asking for quite a high price for the set, but somehow I felt it would not sell fast because of the two-toned colour stain, so I sat very patiently. I did not think it would appeal to most people, but for me those wood handles is what makes this set so pretty. It was on the market for quite a few months before the sellers agreed to a reduced price.
Hope you enjoyed this transformation. The set is up for sale if anyone local is interested.

A person familiar with discussions confirms Danny Briere is set to become a free agent after the Philadelphia Flyers informed the veteran forward they intend to buy out the final two years of his contract. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Wednesday because the Flyers have not announced their decision. ESPN.com first reported Briere's pending buyout Tuesday evening. The Flyers still owe Briere $5 million as part of the eight-year, $52 million contract he signed in free agency on July 1, 2007. He's a 15-year NHL veteran, who had six goals and 10 assists in 34 games last season. A seven-time 25-goal scorer, Briere's production has tailed off as a result of various injuries, including a concussion. The move will shave $6.5 million off the Flyers' salary cap.

37 year old man | New York, NY, USA | Seeking women 26-34 within 25 miles
Active within 24 hours
Here are a few bits and pieces of information...
Here are a few bits and pieces of information about me and what I am looking for: I was born and raised in Lisbon. Lived there until I was 21. For the past 16 years I have lived mostly abroad (Denmark, Spain, Brazil and US). After all this moving around, I have decided to settle in NY. I am honest and direct yet friendly. I am active, intelligent (or so I think...) and given my latin roots also very social. My ideal day would always involve spending time with friends and/or family, be that having a great traditional meal at home, going to a sports event or concert or discovering a new country. I am looking for a girl that is honest, interesting, intelligent, witty, adventurous, fit and attractive. I know it's not easy to find someone that has all these traits but then again if it was, I probably wouldn't be trying a dating site... In any case, I guess in the end it's all about having the right chemistry... If you would like to get to know me better feel free to drop me a few lines... DISCLAIMERS: I am a mixture of slender/athletic (6'2", 185 lbs), so if you are looking for a Jersey Shore type I am definitely not your match... Also, I married my then girlfriend so that we could live in the same country (she needed a Brazilian visa to move with me to Brazil for 6 months). If you are keen on meeting someone that has never been married hopefully you will be ok with this...
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Golf, Running, Skiing, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Horses
I have done most of my travelling in Europe and the Americas. Favorite cities: Prague, Barcelona, Rio, Cape Town. Favorite landscapes: Grand Canyon, Machu/Wayna Picchu, rain forest in Costa Rica. Hoping to visit Australia/NZ, East/Southeast Asia.
Columbia University, New York, NY
Movies:Shawshank Redemption, High Fidelity,Royal Tenenbaums TV: Modern Family, Mad Men, Californication, The Daily Show Music: National, Beirut, Arcade Fire, Sublime Books: Umberto Eco, Nick Hornby, Mario Puzo Food: Japanese, Portuguese, Italian
Love to travel; kind of a sports freak (I watch a few games every week, jog very frequently, play soccer, tennis, golf); really enjoy eating out, going out with friends, watching a good movie (in the theater or at home) or tv series, live concerts...
In the last couple of months: The Human Stain, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Alchemist, This is Where I Leave You

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare, genetic disorder that leads to brain damage and failure of the adrenal glands. It affects the body's nervous system, causing the weakening and failure of the nerve impulse; thus leading to disability.
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a disorder of peroxisomal fatty acid beta oxidation which results in the accumulation of very-long chain fatty acids in tissues throughout the body. Clinically, ALD is a heterogenous disorder, presenting with several distinct phenotypes, and no clear pattern of genotype-phenotype correlation. As an X-linked disorder, ALD presents most commonly in males, however approximately 50% of heterozygote females show some symptoms later in life. Approximately one-third of ALD patients will present with the childhood cerebral form of the disease, which is the most severe form.

Nickel Creek – Beacon Theatre – April 29, 2014April 30th, 2014
Tags: Beacon Theatre, Chris Thile, Nickel Creek, Photos, Sara Watkins, Sean Watkins
Posted in House List, Photos No Comments »
The arrival of New Year's Eve is the singular moment in the calendar when we're equally looking backward and forward. This makes it the perfect time to catch the Punch Brothers, who take music and styles from the past and make them new and equally make modern sounds classic. Last night at The Bowery Ballroom was the second of three sold-out shows in what is taking root as an annual holiday tradition. A heavy curtain behind the stage played tricks with the light, the deep ruffles alternately absorbing and reflecting, evocative of another time and place. And as the band took the stage, Chris Thile wished the eager crowd a "happy New Year … almost!"
Punch Brothers opened with their version of Josh Ritter's "Another New World," a gorgeous silence filling the space between the instruments: banjo, mandolin, violin, guitar feeling as timeless as ever. A new song, "Magnet," simultaneously felt both New Wave and bluegrass, Thile silly and suggestive. An instrumental was dark, the music a step of phase, like they wound a bluegrass breakdown a quarter turn to the left with impressive solos from Gabe Witcher on violin, Noam Pikelny on banjo and Chris Eldridge on guitar before a short back-and-forth between Paul Kowert on bass and Thile on mandolin. These profound moments of beauty alternated with looser bits, the Punch Brothers' humor always of the inside-joke variety, large portions of the audience ready to participate on songs like "Patchwork Girlfriend," shouting along at the right time without provocation.
It was two pairs of covers that summed up the Punch Brothers' forward-and-backward dichotomy. Mid-set they established their indie cred with an Americana take on Elliott Smith's "Clementine" and followed it with a fantastic modernized rendering of a Claude Debussy piece. The latter was an impressive display of talent, all five musicians immersed in the piece, making it their own. The encore paired a solo Bach piece from Thile with a cover of Americana legend John Hartford's "Old Joe Clark." Thile, who resisted taking too many outlandish solos during the set proper, let it all out during the Bach tune, signaling that if you're going to be self-indulgent, you might as well go all the way. Watching him contort both the music and his body, making the difficult look easy and the very old feel very new, wasn't just art but performance art. "Old Joe Clark," on the other hand, was just some good old-fashioned picking, and lest we forget where these guys come from, they tacked on a strong bluegrass version of Gillian Welch's "Back in Time." From "Another New World" to "Back in Time." Forward and backward—happy New Year … almost.
—A. Stein

Last Tuesday would have been Elliott Smith's 44th birthday, and it still feels strange to live in a world without him. Almost 10 years after his death, there was a palpable void on Saturday night at The Bowery Ballroom. Perhaps it was because so much else of Elliott was present: his family, friends, fans and, most important, his music to bring everyone together to honor a cause close to his heart. The night, emceed by Rhett Miller of Old 97's, marked the end of a four-concert stretch of shows across the U.S. in honor of Smith's birthday, organized by Smith's sister Ashley Welch. All proceeds went to New Alternatives, a New York City–based organization to help homeless LGBT youth. Welch shared her personal story of how her brother was the first person she told she was gay. Welch knew him for his big heart, and she mentioned how when he was living in New York City, Smith would stuff bills into the shoes of homeless people he saw sleeping on the street, never anything less than a $20.
Saturday's show featured many guest performers and friends—some who knew Smith well and others who knew him only through his music—sharing their stories. The night's first set came from Smith's former manager JJ Gonson's band Meat Industry. Smith's close friend Mary Lou Lord brought out with her the big star of the night, her 14-year-old daughter Annabelle, herself a big Smith fan, who sang and played through "St. Ides Heaven" and "I Figured You Out." Young Hines traveled all the way from Nashville for the night, performing Smith's most well-known song, "Needle in the Hay." And Katarina Guerra sang her way through beautiful renditions of "Twilight" and "Between the Bars," managing to bring out that haunting gorgeousness of Smith's singing style.
The legendary Bob Dorough covered "Waltz #1" in addition to one of Smith's favorites, a song he penned for Schoolhouse Rock!, "Figure 8." Sirius XM DJ Jenny Eliscu shared her story about Smith's inane ability to cheer up other people and how he stood by her side after her date stood her up at The Bowery Ballroom for a Neutral Milk Hotel show in 1998. Christina Courtin played two of the night's biggest sing-alongs, "Angeles" and "Rose Parade." Unannounced guests included Joseph Arthur, who played "Alameda" and was later joined by Pat Sansone of Wilco, who played "Waltz #2" and "Say Yes." The night ended with everyone returning to the stage together to perform "Happiness" joined by every voice in the audience. There was only one missing. —Dan Rickerhsauser

Chaos theory states that a butterfly flapping its wings in Asia affects the weather here in New York City. Through some incomprehensible series of actions and reactions, the two completely unrelated phenomena essentially communicate with each other. I think a similar incomprehensible series of actions and reactions explains the communication going on between the seemingly unrelated musicians onstage last night at The Bowery Ballroom. In this scenario, the parts of the butterfly and the weather were jazz-pianist extraordinaire Brad Mehldau and mandolin aficionado Chris Thile.
From the beginning, high-level interplay was on display, a long introduction that felt like a free-form-improv instrumental provided the opportunity for both musicians to assume the role of the butterfly—multihued, delicate, light—and the weather—unpredictable, blustering, occasionally torrential. These long fugues were interrupted by lyrics and vocals on songs like "Chopped Down Your Shade Tree" from Thile, bringing the concept of song and composition to the music before disintegrating back into superlative two-man jamming and then back again. Pieces stretched to 10 minutes and beyond, the duo showing no signs of running out of things to talk about, themes to pursue and then deconstruct. One of the few fully instrumental songs pushed the limits of their talents, simultaneously layering an Irish reel with blues and free jazz, like Ornette O'Coleman from Memphis for mandolin and piano, shifting to a mandolin swing reminiscent of David Grisman and finally relenting to jazz-standard territory with Mehldau stretching the exercise to a full 20 minutes.
The highlights within an essentially highlight-reel show were the covers. Each began as if just an instrumental vamp on a familiar melody before fully exploring the material to its fullest. These included Gillian Welch's "Scarlet Town" and an instrumental version of "Long Black Veil." Anyone familiar with Mehldau or Thile wouldn't be surprised to learn that the centerpiece of their show was an awe-inspiring, exploratory take on Radiohead's "Knives Out," which had both men in top form, weaving in and out of the song's themes perfectly. The set closed with Fiona Apple's "Fast as You Can," featuring a vigorous back-and-forth between the two, the whole set coming to a head in deep musical conversation. Perhaps the best for last, the encore closed with a perfect version of Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," the jamming concise and on point, the audience, for once, literally not having to think twice about the chaos going on in front of them. It's alright. —A. Stein

These things have to start somewhere. In absence of Patti Smith's longstanding New Year's Eve run at The Bowery Ballroom, on Saturday night Punch Brothers kicked off what we can only hope will become an annual three-night out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new run at the corner of Delancey and Bowery. With Chinese lanterns strung across the room and cozy lights above the stage, the mood was celebratory, as rhythmic "We want an encore!" clapping spontaneously broke out before the band even took the stage. This was an arena-rock-primed crowd for a bluegrass band: What gives?
When Chris Thile and the band took the stage, opening with their cover of Josh Ritter's "Another New World"—featured on their new Ahoy! EP (starting a show-long call-and-response of "Ahoy!")—the reasons for the crowd's enthusiasm were apparent. The song and the following set were without-a-net string music, with an openness worthy of a jam band, interplay reminiscent of great jazz quartets and songwriting rivaling your favorite indie-rock freak folk. The audience went silent during the songs before erupting like a canned laugh track in between, eagerly applauding Noam Pikelny's banjo figure eights or Thile's masterful mandolin playing. The set drew from Punch Brothers' entire catalog and beyond. "New York City" was an early ode to their hometown, while "Heart in a Cage" prompted a happy sing-along for a maybe-not-so-happy song, and "Song for a Young Queen" was one of many giddy instrumentals wrapping up multiple genres in a singular Punch Brothers sound.
The second half of the 90-minute show was one long highlight reel: the band premiering a nice cover of the Beach Boys' "Surf's Up" (a song they "wished to God" they had written), paying tribute to the Seldom Scene's Mike Auldridge, who had passed away earlier in the day, with "Through the Bottom of the Glass," and handling an awe-inspiring movement from Thile's "The Blind Leading the Blind." During the last one, as the mathematically beautiful music unfolded, I was reminded that this bourbon-sipping picker is also a certifiable genius. As he led the band through a fantastic encore that hit on all of the quintet's strengths, Thile mentioned his New Year's resolution was to "drink more and better whiskey." I'd like to add to that: Start a new New Year's Eve tradition. —A. Stein
