No vehicle levels
A real Survival mode where there is no time limit, just time going up as soon as the enemies show. With breaks between waves to prepare for the next wave (time pauses during the break).You start in a limited area with enough room to maneuver around, but not get lost in by exploring. The only objective is to see how long you can survive in a group of 4 players with items given at the start of the game in random spots. Once those are taken/used up you have no more access to ammo or supplies until you reach a certain preset goal of enemies killed or kill a difficult boss that requires team work.
The premise of this mode is to encourage players to work together or potentially suffer sure death. When a player dies it is not game over. They enter spectator mode until the next wave, their supplies being reduced as a penalty but not reset (less bullets, less meds etc). At least I would enjoy something like this.
Oh and Claire. I want her to come back so badly.
Claire: Thanks. I'll do that.
Steve: Hey. I was just kidding. There's no way he can get here, even if he is your brother.
Everything RE6 didn't have I wish was in RE7, and everything RE6 had I wish was gone in RE7. I namely wish there was another godly RE5 version that was significantly expanded upon in good ways (Mercs 3D was RE5 Mercs done WRONG).

All this, and especially no vehicle levels!
To the edge of the universe and back, endure and survive
I've got a whole bunch of things that I wish were in RE6:
-Limited Ammo
-Scarier Enemies
-No forced co-op
-Far fewer QTEs.
-Less enemies with guns
-Claustrophobic, maze type environments that require puzzling, backtracking and lots of thought.
-No vehicle segments.
-Scary atmosphere.
-No Kung fu badass protagonists that can punch and kick their way through most situations.
-Last but not least, horror.
Anxiously awaiting the next Mirror's Edge.
Waiting for the day Capcom makes a true Survival Horror Resident Evil game again.
I just want to feel that I'm making decisions and planning the next step. RE6 has cool moments, but the hand holding is cranked to the extreme. I'm okay with either modern or classic style.
But as far as the game's structure, I would prefer just one or two shorter campaigns. Less filler, more level design. They can have their fun with set pieces, just don't make all of them so scripted or centered around QTEs.
And this time!
The be like classic RE.
To have modern Mercs, 4 style. Meaning the difficulty. But probably 5's mechanics.
More blood and guts.

Leaving DH behind to pursue your own goals
Started by GenWhy , Feb 15 2013 02:08 PM
49 replies to this topic
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:08 PM
DH, kids and I moved to a tiny town last year for DH's work. He was assured his company would likely have a position for me in the field I usually work in so we saw it as a great opportunity to make some good money and more family time. DH was FIFO prior to this.
Since arriving I have taken on some work just to pass the time. It's not meaningful to me and not well paid. I don't enjoy it at all. DH has been asking and asking about the promise of work for me and has basically been told they have had budget cuts and no positions are available anymore. I have joined a few groups and do volunteer work. I try to get involved at the school and go to gym classes etc. I enjoy the volunteer work but not the groups I've joined. I am really not enjoying living here at al. I have met a lot of other Mums but I haven't really clicked with any of them and I'm finding that I'm becoming quite down. The school here is quite appalling and there's virtually no childcare. DH also works very long hours.
The thing is, I have a well paid job lined up due to start January 2014. I've been doing a Uni degree in order to take up this position and it really is my dream job. I would have to move back to the city in order to work there. I have spoken to DH about it and he agrees I'm not happy here. I have to go down in June for a month to do exams and complete courses for the job I want to do. I'm considering just not coming back. Our house is only rented until the end of June so the kids and I could move back in. There's Childcare and good schooling etc.
My dilemma is that DH is contracted to stay for 2 years. If he doesn't we need to repay substantial moving costs. If I stay, I will miss out on the job. It took me 2 years to study and apply to be accepted and I doubt the organization would allow me to defer my start date. It would be a long process to reapply and it may not look good that I pulled out prior. DH likes his job here and also doesn't mind the town. He has said he could ask about going FIFO again or try to find another job that is city based or FIFO. The chances of it happening I really don't know about. We are bickering a lot because I'm unhappy here and especially that the work promised hasn't eventuated.
So would you leave your DH behind to pursue your own happiness/career goals? Or would you suck it up for the money and sake of keeping the family together? I'm quite torn about it and wanted to see if people think I'm being selfish.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:11 PM
In a word, yes
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:13 PM
I don't think you're being selfish at all. I know quite a few families where couples have lived apart temporarily for work purposes. I think as long as there's an end date in sight for living apart it can work well and in some cases strengthen the relationship. It would be different if you were going to be apart indefinitely but if your husband is planning to move back and join you once his contract finishes I definitely think you wouldn't be being selfish by taking the job.
Edited by starsg, 15 February 2013 - 02:13 PM.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:13 PM
I don't think you're being selfish.
I do think it depends. It's not clear to me how long you'd be living apart - and I would think the length of time would matter. It's also not clear how much opportunity there'd be for trips backwards and forwards.
It's doable, and survivable, but if it's for too long of course it's going to take a toll. I think you and your DH need to sit down and work out what you could do to nurture a long-distance marriage, and how long it could realistically work, and go from there.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:13 PM
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:15 PM
I would do it - it's only a year and a half - some couples work apart for years.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:16 PM
Do it, its a small chunk of time really and in the long run you"ll both be happier for it.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:16 PM
I would try it out. you owe yourself that and your relationship may not survive if you don't.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:16 PM
Wow tough decision. Most likely i would. It isn't fair for one half of a couple to give up their dreams and remain unhappy. He should see you aren't fulfilled and it isn't fair on him to expect you to remain like that.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:19 PM
It isn't that long in the grand scheme of things - you have defined end dates.
I'd do it.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:21 PM
Not selfish at all - you moved there thinking it would be good work for both of you and then nothing came of it for you. I think you did your bit already - you've tried. Why should you also now give up a fantastic opportunity for a job that you have worked toward for so long that may never come again?!
But you need to look at all the aspects. How far away from each other will you be? How often can you travel to see eahc other? How will the kids feels about it? How much money will you lose if he just says "nup I'm coming with you" and leaves his job? How easy can he find another job?
You have 12 months to figure it out. If you're not going to eb working until then you should go home, do your month then come back to where you are now until you need to go back for start of the job though I think, if you want to minimise the strain of being apart.
But also work out what you're going to do all year whiel you wait it out
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:22 PM
If it meant a good future career wise in which you would be advanced both money wise and career wise - I'd do it in a heart beat.
DH will have to understand that it is for the family in the long run. After all you moved for DH's job, so it's your turn to reap the rewards of your studies.
Good luck making the decision, it certainly isn't an easy one.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:23 PM
The "yes" and smiley face I'm not sure what they mean? I asked a few questions so not sure what the replies are in answer to.
The period of time apart would be around 18 months if he finished his contract. He would get 4 weeks per year of annual leave and from June will be on a new roster of 8 days work then 6 days off. It would prob be expensive for him to fly down every time he has days off though.
If he starts looking for a new job that's FIFO or Perth based, I don't know how long that would take.
I have previously quit a job (that was a very good career for me which I very much enjoyed) to follow DH to another city for his work. It didn't work out and both of us ended up unemployed (he took on contract work and contract wasn't renewed due to budget reasons). So I figure I've already given up a fair amount for his career and really don't want to be stuck on the back burner for years again.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:28 PM
Yes I would go.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:35 PM
I would go down for a month in June to do the training, then come back until late 2013, then move to the city to start the new job in early 2014.
That would mean you would be living apart for 1 year, yeah?
Is your DH happy to move to the city with you when his contract finishes? (2015?). What will this mean for his work- would he be looking for a job in the city, would this be hard or easy to get? Would you become the main "breadwinner"?

Keep an eye out for deals on flights.
I would think in terms of, yeah may be hard for 2 years but in 5, 10 years how much better off could you be? Both emotionally and financially.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:38 PM
Yes, I would but maybe not in June. You said the job for you doesn't start until next year? i would go back in June to sit exams, get the house back from tenants and then NOT release (if you can afford to do that), stick out the cr$ppy town until December and then move home permanently in time for the new school year and the new job. Then it is only 12mo apart which I feel is ok. School holidays together with dad and all that.
Will be a tough year though.

I would go. It's only for 18 months and then you can reassess. At least give it a go. I don't think you're being selfish at all.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:45 PM
I don't think it's a good idea personally, I think you have to put your kids and your marriage first, but I can understand how frustrating it is to feel your life is on hold. Are there any other goals you can pursue while you wait for your DH to finish his contract? Maybe further study?

Wondered how long it would take...
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:50 PM
I think its a great idea to for you to pursue your dreams as well. Like other posters have said it may only be 12 months separation all up - and yes that is very hard indeed, but between your annual leave and his, you will be able to be together a few times in that year.
I think any husband worth anything would want a happy wife, and would be accommodating in helping her be happy and achieve her goals.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 02:52 PM
I don't think you are being selfish at all.
But I will be honest and say, no, I couldn't/ wouldn't do it.
I personally would find it hard to sustain a healthy and fulfilling relationship under those conditions - but that is obviously a very individual thing. I'd miss dh too much. My dh travels a lot for work and we really try hard not to have too many occasions where we don't see each other for longer than a week.
We also have a young child together who would miss his Dad terribly, and I don't personally believe it would be good for their relationship. DS gets a lot out of having two very involved parents, despite the fact that Dad is away a lot. I see how disruptive that can be for him, and I know he misses him a lot. I also see dh feeling guilty and over compensating for not being there as much as he would like to be.
I DON'T think the answer is you putting your desires or career on the back burner either. I get you are in a difficult position with repayment costs - but I'd rather wear this than wear my dh not being a part of our daily lives. If my dh was offering to go FIFO or look for another job then this would be worth it to me. Even if you agree to a shorter period to get repayment costs down (I presume its a pro-rata approach)?

What do you mean? Why can't I express my opinion? I would say exactly the same thing if it was a man thinking of leaving his wife for work reasons.
Posted 15 February 2013 - 03:00 PM
What would you have done if the company had gotten a job from the company? do you think you would be happy still and looking at the move?
Personally I couldn't/wouldn't be able to do it, but that doesn't mean that I would stay in the town and give up my dreams which you have already done once before. I would get my DH to play hardball I would tell him he has to call the company's bluff, get him to tell them (when in a few months time when it is closer to the job) that you have your dream job offered to you in the city and if they can't find anything suitable for you in the town you will both be leaving. You might find how quickly they find some funding, or it might be that you end up moving back to the city for your job and having to flip the bill. Either way I (as in me personally) would prefer either of those two options then spending 18 months apart.

Posted 15 February 2013 - 03:07 PM
OP, I would say GO. I dont say this lightly, but I say it from the experience of being in your shoes and NOT pursuing my own dream when I had the chance. While I don't regret where my life has taken me, I do know that I have given up a heck of a lot more than my DH in the process. My career is in the loo because of following his work, and although I love our family and we have a great life, a part of me is bitter about how much I have given up.
Do it, see if it works. Worst case, quit. But don't live with regret. Best of luck, I really and truly understand your dilemma.

IBM has an extended-life, 9-cell lithium-ion battery as well as a battery that can be placed in the UltraBay (in place of the DVD/CD-RW drive).

Residents say the menace has cost them their crops
They want the elephants to be captured and translocated
They do not feel confident to venture out even
in groups
HASSAN: Wild elephants have been raiding Magge, Rayara Koppalu and surrounding villages and destroying crops for the past one week. Residents here told The Hindu that in 70 villages in Sakleshpur, Alur and Arakalagudu taluks, which are on the periphery of dense forests, farmers hesitate to go to their farms even in groups fearing attack by wild elephants.
They said that they had lost confidence in the Forest Department because their appeals to capture these wild elephants and translocate them had not elicited any response. When people are killed when elephants attack them, the officials visit them and then nothing is done about the elephants.
More than 20-25 elephants, including one or two tuskers, enter the fields at night and graze there. Then, they walk through narrow village roads to reach Hemavathi backwaters. There they take a bath and rest for a while in the nearby forest. And, when it becomes dark again they proceed to the next village. This is the daily routine that the elephants have been following for some time now. It is quite a task for the farmers to save their standing crops namely paddy, sugarcane, coffee, ragi, arecanut, plantain and groundnut.
In fact, farmers had heaved a sigh of relief when the Hemavathi reservoir became full. But, once the water levels went down, elephants once again started crossing the backwaters.
Some residents here told The Hindu that the villages that were facing this problem of elephant menace were Bembaluru, Kerodi, Mugalali, Hammige, Shettihalli, Chavaduhalli, Konnapura, Ponnathapura, Padumanahalli, Madihalli, Varathhuru, Anathhara, Bhaktarahalli, Merave, Sulugodu, Nagavara, Muttinahalli, Ganjigere, Honnavalli, Kusaguru, Halasanahalli and Kudigele.

Comments about Convenience Concepts Northfield Wall Console Table - White:
I was looking for something modern and inexpensive. I needed something for the holidays and wanted white. This works great! I gave it a 4 star rating because 1/of the very lightweight MDF construction & 2/small bubble in the veneer on the backside of table. My experience with Hayneedle was wonderful. They were willing to give me the name & number for the company as I wanted to know what kind of wood construction the table was. Hayneedle didn't know but quickly offered to call the company but said that I would get my answer quicker if I called direct. No issues calling the company. My first shipment arrived damaged. Out of the 5 pieces, 3 were damaged. Possibly from shipment handling but box was not damaged. I called Hayneedle and they quickly shipped another one out and sent me a pickup tag. Second table arrived in a timely manner and undamaged. This table is definitely very lightweight for MDF board but again it looks great and I wanted something for the foyer area to set a plant on and a lamp. This is not a table that is designed to take heavy use but is nice quality and sturdy enough for my application. If you are looking for something simple and inexpensive for a season or two, this will do the job. I love the simple design and may just have one built with solid wood eventually and then paint myself, white! BTW, the wall and floor in my home look practically like the manufacturer's photo! The only difference is I have a white baseboard on the wall and my wood floor is diagonal to the wall.

The logging legacy unchained: In Serena, Rash lays bare the real story of the Smokies timber boom
It's been nearly a century since the logging boom swept across Appalachia, but the story is timeless, forever engraved on the landscape and in the psyche of mountain people.
"It permanently and irrevocably changed the entire face of Western North Carolina," said Jason Brady, a special collections librarian at Western Carolina University.
• Serena a thrilling mix of history and fiction
• Hollywood take on novel a flop?
• Critics be damned, I'm watching it anyway

Macon to purchase additional landfill property
Macon County is taking the final steps to expand its landfill life expectancy by 60 years, likely the last expansion before the county will have to figure out a new plan for disposing waste.
Commissioners recently approved purchasing two tracts of land that will enable the county to expand the current MSW Landfill on Pannell Lane in Franklin. For a total of about $1.5 million, the county plans to purchase 14.5 acres from Donald Burling at 256 Pannell Lane and 8.3 acres from Charles and Wendy Dalton at 198 Pannell Lane.
Critics be damned, I'm watching it anyway
Hollywood take on novel a flop?
Just because something looks good on paper doesn't mean it'll work in method.
Case in point, the new Hollywood film "Serena," which is a silver screen adaptation of the Ron Rash novel of the same name. The book, a Great Depression-era murder drama amid the Western North Carolina logging industry, was a New York Times bestseller, with the film roping in two of the hottest stars in modern day cinema — Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.
Serena a thrilling mix of history and fiction for locals in the know
Little bits of local lore riddle the pages of Ron Rash's Serena.
"As a fiction writer I know I am going to get things wrong, but you do the best you can to get those details as correct as possible," Rash said. "If we can get enough things right, I think it allows the reader to stay in the dream. Very specific, authentic details allow the reader to believe everything else that is being made up."

Since 1990, Congress has enacted more than 117 laws that supersede states' powers
"States scramble to implement voting standards"
"Real ID costs rising"
Preemption Monitor
National Conference of State Legislatures
State lawmakers say the federal government is usurping more of their power through new laws and regulations, a number of which include information technology requirements.
Click here to enlarge chart.
Federal legislative and regulatory pre-emptions erode state legislatures' constitutional authority to protect their people and have other consequences, said Republican state Sen. Don Balfour of Georgia. In the past two fiscal years, Balfour said, states have picked up the tab for more than $75 billion in unfunded federal mandates.
Balfour, chairman of the National Conference of State Legislatures' Standing Committees, attended NCSL's spring forum in Washington, D.C. He and his legislative peers discussed pre-emption with their states' congressional delegations.
"Pre-emption often isn't the rallying cry that the unfunded mandates are, and their effects are not easily quantifiable, yet they're just as insidious," Balfour said at an April 6 press conference. "The usurping by the federal government of state authority subverts the federal system, chokes off innovation and ignores diversity among states."
Democratic state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte of Texas, president-elect of NCSL, said that since 1990, Congress has enacted more than 117 laws that supersede state powers. Some of the measures have been good ones, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. But she said there must be a strong state/federal partnership for addressing such issues.
NCSL released an updated version of its Preemption Monitor, which is a watch list of 72 bills or amendments proposed by the 109th Congress that organization members say usurp state powers. "That's a 35 percent increase since our last update just in January of this year," Van de Putte said.
The watch list includes the Real ID Act, enacted last year to establish national security standards for driver's licenses and data storage and sharing requirements. The law, which passed without any hearings, requires states to comply by May 2008. State officials have said that compliance will cost them hundreds of millions of dollars.
Several federal bills requiring that citizens be notified of personal data breaches partially or entirely pre-empt state notification laws. Another bill imposes federal standards for creating statewide sex offender registry databases. Failure to comply could prompt a federal takeover of the registry and a loss of grant money. Other bills would prohibit states from passing laws that restrict the use of software that collects data on computer users. The legislation would impose penalties for violations.
Republican state Sen. Michael Balboni of New York included federal regulation among the pre-emptive threats to state laws. "It's nothing more than a backdoor, underhanded means by which unelected federal bureaucrats impose their will on the states," Balboni said at the press conference. "And when these regulatory pre-emptions occur, they cost the states."
Pre-emption occurs every year, much like beach erosion, Balboni said. It's not that exciting, but the effect is real, he added.

Samba: Less Important Because Windows Is Less Important 162
from the liberating-windows-users 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).
I use Samba at home for my media file shares, and probably still would have even if Windows interoperability wasn't an issue, it's widely supported by most non-Windows OSes (except iOS, the first OS where you need to pay to add on a Samba client. Progress!)
And it still probably won't come with an offer for source code (sigh
Samba is absolutely still important. We just take SAMBA for granted now more than ever because it is pre-installed everywhere in almost every appliance. For example buy a $20 internet 'router' from Best Buy that can share a connected USB drive over a LAN and it probably uses SAMBA for functionality.
Samba is not seen as a big issue these days because it works so incredibly well. Software only gets your attention when it fails.
As for Windows not being as important, that simply is not the case in corporate america. In fact the only reason Linux exists in the corporate world is because of Samba. Any growth if Linux in the server or workstation role is due principally to Samba, and without it there would be virtually zero Linux adaptation in the workplace. Businesses are natural mono-cultures when it comes to computing systems.
If for some reason all Windows system die tomorrow,
Other than that 800 pound gorilla in the room, there is nobody else around....
Hand waiving away 90% of the desktop OS users [wikipedia.org] to make a point about samba being less important seems reaching at best.
I think you could safely make the if for some reason Samba dies tomorrow, Linux in the workplace gets shoveled into the same grave.
Once you get into bigger problems and more demanding SLAs, the prevalance of Windows declines rather quickly.
Single tasking: Just Say No.

March 25, 2015 - PHILADELPHIA, PA -- Delphic Digital, a Philadelphia based digital agency, announces that it has entered a strategic partnership with Google as a Google Analytics Certified Partner (GACP). The Google Analytics Certified Partner Program is a highly qualified global network comprised of a select number of companies specializing in Google Analytics, the standard for web analytics measurement.
There have been many studies done on the workplace and how external factors can affect your general well being and psychology. It's a fascinating topic, and once you get into it it's not hard to fall down the proverbial rabbit hole. "Hall's proxemic framework", "Sociofugal and sociopetal space" and "Altman's privacy model" are all worth a google for further reading into the science behind this densely researched topic. And these just talk about the physical work space itself! We haven't even touched on lighting or temperature.
While working with Sitecore 7.5 (Initial Release) for my current client, I have come across a few confirmed bugs in Sitecore. The bugs are related in that they both have to do with the Edit User Roles Dialog box. With the gracious help of Sitecore Support, I have some solutions to report as well. First, I should mention that my historical communication with Sitecore Support has been primarily positive, and I would recommend contacting them when you've got something you think is an issue. Second, I want to specifically thank Lilya and Michael from Sitecore Support for their help in pointing me towards, or directly resolving the following issues.
Not all Internet users are alike - just watch your parents try to use your iPad. Or explain to your Grandmother why it's a "mouse" and not a "chicken." Or sit with your 3-year old niece as she shows you how to voice message with the iPhone 6 (woah!).
