Corned Beef Retro StyleI have a confession to make, last time I tried corned beef, I could have bounced it like a basketball. And we had company. And we ate green milkshakes at McDonalds with our Big Macs. So, this year for St. Patty's Day, I decided I would skip the "traditional" green eggs in ham for a more Irish-y meal. I checked out my 1940′s cookbook and sure enough, I found a recipe for corned beef

Priceless Morning in the Grand CanyonApril 2010 in the Grand Canyon, day 12 of a 22 day private raft trip. We have had 80 degree Fahrenheit days and 45 degree nights. It is early in the morning I am sipping coffee, smelling green chili on the stove, breakfast burritos in the Dutch oven and watching the sun rise on the fresh snow on the rim of the greatest canyon in the world. PRICELESS!

Underwater Pumpkin CarvingI remember camping at Gilboa Quarry for a halloween party. We got to sit around a campfire at night and eat great food with great people! We spent a long time at night looking at the beautiful starry sky. My kids and I got to carve pumpkins for a contest, and my husband got to carve one under water. Our pumpkins didn't win the contests, but we did win a 50/50 raffle and dona

Do these shoes run big? I wear a 5.5 in a Men's shoe, but since you only have size 6, I wondered if these would be too loose. I typically wear a size 7 in women's shoes.

Turkey Mini-Meatball Lettuce Wraps with spicy Thai Flavors! |
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. These little mini-meatballs are served inside lettuce leaves with a spicy Thai-flavored dressing, and I could eat this every day!)
It was pure serendipity that I discovered this recipe for ultra flavorful little turkey meatballs, served inside lettuce leaves with a spicy Thai-style sauce, some diced cucumber, and fresh mint. I didn't have anything like this in mind when I thawed out a pound of ground turkey; I was actually thinking about using it in the Horseradish Meatloaf, before I changed my mind. So there I was with a pound of turkey that needed to be used, and when I need recipe ideas in a hurry, I often stand in front of my wall of cookbooks and just flip through books, using the index to see what recipes I can find for that ingredient. I found this recipe in The South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook, but this is a recipe I'd enjoy all year, maybe substituting cilantro for the mint when it's out of season.
Thai-Inspired Turkey Mini-Meatball Lettuce Wraps
(Makes 8-12 lettuce wraps, depending on how many meatballs you put in each, recipe adapted slightly from The South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook.)
Dressing Ingredients:
4 T fish sauce (I like Three Crabs Fish Sauce, if you're not that used to fish sauce you might decrease it a little)
4 T rice vinegar (don't use seasoned vinegar, which contains sugar)
2 tsp. Asian sesame oil
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (more or less to taste, this was moderately spicy with this amount)
Meatballs Ingredients:
1 lb. ground turkey (use turkey with not more than 10% fat for South Beach Diet)
1 tsp. finely minced garlic
1 T grated fresh ginger root
1 T Asian sesame oil
2 tsp. rice vinegar
1 tsp. soy sauce (regular or low sodium)
2 tsp. + 1 tsp. peanut oil or grapeseed oil (for frying meatballs)
Lettuce and Garnish Ingredients:
1 small cucumber, cut in thin slices, then sliced into matchstick pieces
3/4 cup mint leaves (or use chopped cilantro if you prefer or when fresh mint isn't available)
8-12 lettuce leaves (I used romaine lettuce, but you could use other types, especially butter lettuce)
Heat 2 tsp. peanut or grapeseed oil in a large heavy frying pan, then use a tablespoon-sized measuring cup to scoop out turkey to make meatballs (or small patties), adding each one to the hot pan as you make them. Cook the meatballs in two batches so you don't crowd the pan, cooking each batch until the outside is lightly browned and they're cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. (I added the other tsp. of oil when I cooked the second batch.)
While meatballs cook, wash and dry mint leaves (or chop cilantro) and cut the cucumber into thin slices, then slice into matchstick pieces. (You can also just chop the cucumber if you don't want to be that fancy.) Wash and dry lettuce leaves. (I used just the tender sweet inside leaves and saved the rest for salad.)
When meatballs are done, make lettuce wraps by putting 2-3 meatballs inside a piece of lettuce, drizzling on sauce, and topping with cucumber and mint or cilantro. If you make this for a dinner party, it would be fun to let guests assemble their own, and I'm betting you won't have any leftovers!

...but ended up looking like this!
There was a snag when I realized that the key for the lockbox fell out and was nowhere to be found...I found it on the floor in my family room 2 days later. Thank goodness for my wonderful friend Ashley who took it to a locksmith and got it unlocked for me!
There were a LOT of people!
Help from a dear friend (thank you Ashley!!)
Manning my booth :)
The Renegade Craft show was immediately followed by Christmas and then a new year! With the new year came a new last name (officially single!), full ownership of ReAuthored, and a lot of change. Unfortunately, I found myself in need of a steady income while I worked through some of the changes and so I studied hard, got my insurance license, and began working for a fantastic State Farm agent named Justin Hahn. The company was great, insurance was pretty fascinating, and my boss was one of the best I've ever had...but the day to day operations of insurance sales were a stark contrast to working on ReAuthored and the transition was tough. I went from doing something that I felt [sometimes overly] passionate about to something that just didn't get me all that excited. I was, once again, reminded that money does not motivate me and that I have to do something I love to feel fulfilled. After 5 months of office work with 4 great co-workers, I got just the nudge I needed to focus my attention back on ReAuthored (and it couldn't have come at a better time)!
Me and my State Farm family :)
What was that nudge, you ask? Well... a tech company out of the UK called Eye-D Creative contacted me to purchase 52 tablet cases. They were presenting new software to 52 potential investors and they were interested in using my cases as the vehicle to deliver their software (which was programmed into a device). Upon reading their first email, I was speechless (and incredibly flattered). After much discussion, a preliminary case, a presentation from them that included my case, and much waiting, Eye-D Creative received final approval to move forward with the order and I was able to earn the funds I needed to to step away from my desk job, allowing me to focus on the thing I love to do the most...ReAuthored!
In May, I jumped right back in to ReAuthored with the Tower Grove Better Block Festival in St. Louis. They couldn't have given me a better display area for my products and my boyfriend, Sean, and I had a fabulous weekend in St. Louis. It felt so good to get my work in front of real people again.
Sean showing off my wares
And within all of the madness, my sweet babe turned 4 years old. How? I have no idea but we definitely enjoyed his gymnastics party and the special request strawberry shortcake Emmett insisted on (I sure love that kid...I mean, what 3 year old boy asks for a strawberry shortcake for his birthday? Mine!).
Emmett and his cousin, Julianne, munching on bday snacks :)
So what's in store now? Hopefully lots and lots of forward motion for ReAuthored. I am listing cases like crazy in my Etsy shop, updating my website and Etsy pages, and organizing as much as I can when I'm not waiting tables. I am thrilled to be back and I hope that you are too! I will be working on a Kickstarter campaign in the coming months and your support would mean the world to me as I pursue a meaningful profession that makes a positive impact. Don't hesitate to contact me with any suggestions, questions, comments, or observations. Your input makes ReAuthored what it is.
Until next time,
Maha Libdeh

Much has been written about overprovisioning and its implementation on SSDs. In short, overprovisioning, or OP, is a portion of storage space on an SSD that is reserved for use only by the SSD controller. The three most common uses for this space are wear leveling, the replacement of bad blocks, and read-modify-writes. Overprovisioning serves to help increase both the longevity and performance of SSDs and it is a very common practice among SSD manufacturers.
However, some users would like to be able to buy their SSDs without the built in overprovisioning and make the decision to OP, or not to OP for themselves. They prefer the flexibility of deciding for themselves when to OP and how much space to use based on their specific needs. Corsair has announced and is now offering SSDs without this overprovisioned space.
Corsair SSDs with overprovisioning space typically have used 7% of the total SSD storage capacity. This means that users now have a choice with these new drives to use them with or without overprovisioning. Users can manually overprovision the drives if they wish or, they can leave them at their full capacity with no overprovisioning and enjoy the extra space.
For users of 256GB SSDs, this means they can have an extra 16GB of storage capacity on their drive over the equivalent 240GB overprovisioned SSD. Of course, RAID users will benefit even more as the number of drives is increased.
In reading some of that aforementioned information about overprovisioning, I've found a great deal of very useful information over at Anandtech. Here's a diagram from one of Anand's SSD articles highlighting how overprovisioning works.
Our initial offerings in the non-OP drive arena are in the Force Series GS and the Neutron Series with more to come. For more information on our SSD lineup, please visit our Corsair website SSD page.
To OP, or not to OP. That is the question. Whether tis nobler to the PC performance...
Corsair proudly brings you the Corsair SSD Toolbox. This helpful utility provides users with several powerful and useful tools for use with Corsair SSDs. Let's take a look. Download the Corsair SSD Toolbox HERE.
The Corsair SSD Toolbox will run on:
We have provided a detailed help file which can be accessed by clicking on the question mark symbol shown here circled in red on the upper left side of the screen.
After you select firmware update the tool will scan your drive and check for firmware updates. If there is an update available, the dialogue will prompt you to update the firmware or cancel the operation.
Note: Firmware updates can only be executed when the SSD controller is in AHCI mode. Firmware updating via this toolbox is enabled for The Corsair Series Force 3, Force Series GT, Force Series GS, Neutron Series, and Neutron Series GTX SSDs. Earlier and EOL Corsair drives with firmware updates can be updated manually using the tools supplied on our website.
Note: Corsair recommends that users update their OS drive as attached storage when possible. Some systems will require the SSD to be disconnected briefly before the new firmware version will appear in the Drive Information window.
Additional functions can be activated with the column of buttons down the left side of the toolbox. Corsair is now producing SSDs that do not have factory overprovisioning. For users that desire to manually overprovision their drives, we have provided a function for this. Overprovisioning your drive can contribute to maintaining better performance and adding longevity to your SSD.
Lot codes for Corsair products can generally be found in the follow locations. For more specific information, please view the Corsair knowledge base Lot Code article for a particular product series.
Headsets: The code is located on the earcup's arm.
Speakers: The code is located on the back of the subwoofer.

Gail Collins EXPLAINS where the blame for this disgrace truly lies:There would almost certainly have been plenty of votes to approve the treaty if the Republicans had felt free to think for themselves. The �no� votes included a senator who had voted for the treaty in committee, a senator who ...

Only Natural Pet Kidney Support is the perfect supplement for supporting the health of your pet's entire urinary system and is appropriate for adult pets. Our pets' kidneys can be damaged by ingesting toxins or medications, through genetic factors, and quite commonly due to infectious invaders like bacteria. Effects of this damage can be seen in many organs, including the bladder and urinary tract, where clear evidence may appear as recurrent infections, and in the form of urine crystals or kidney stones. Kidney damage also adds up over time, and it can be so subtle that even the most attentive guardians fail to spot any signs in their pets. This is why kidney issues often seem to appear "out of nowhere" as our pets age, becoming obvious only when the problem reaches a critical level. Supporting your pet's kidneys can play an important role in their longevity and quality of life. We've selected the best balance of quality herbal ingredients you can offer your pet to support these vital organs.
Kidney Support Herbal Formula contains a blend of herbal ingredients from both Western and Chinese herbal traditions to help maintain your pet's optimal kidney health and normal renal functioning . The key factors of the formula maintained balanced urine pH, support healthy circulation for maintained renal blood flow, support the normal detoxification processes and support the immune system in response to foreign material in the urinary tract and kidneys.
From the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, the formula's benefit to kidneys is enhanced through the focused use of herbs selected to support heart and spleen health, which in turn support the kidneys. Designed to support healthy function of the kidneys and bladder in cats and dogs needing prevention, maintenance and care for stressed kidneys, our blend of herbal and botanical ingredients in this formula includes:

Seems to be helping!!!
By KSCaruthers88
from Oak Ridge, TN
I've been using this product for about five weeks and it took about three weeks, but I finally saw less urine in her litter box, which was a joy!!! Not that I cared about the daily clean-up, but that Priscilla Sue was not drinking oh so much water and therefore urinating oh so much more than she should have.
kidney levels dropped.
By Beck
from Traverse City, MI
I started using kidney support 3 months ago when my 14 year old Somali kitty Wolvee had high kidney levels. She is also on a raw food diet due to IBD so I was not going to put her on a low protein diet. I waited to send this review until she went back to the vet after 3 months to have her levels rechecked. She went this week and both of the levels that were high had dropped. The vet was very pleased. She also gained some weight. I have to mix the two capsules with her food for the day and mix it up well, if I try to sprinkle it on her food she will not eat it most of the time. So far I am very happy with how this has worked.
My cat will eat it!
By Mastiff Mommy
from Kirkland, WA
Our cat suffered from urinary tract infections many years ago (she's 16 years old now). We NEVER want to go through that again. We had some cranberry tablets that she liked, but those are hard to find now. She wouldn't touch the cranberry wellness (sold here), but this stuff she likes. I just sprinkle it on her dry food, and she licks it right up.Hard to say if it's effective... but so far, so good!

By Petra
from Titusville, FL
I tried this product because my dog "Bear" age 9 .5 Years young had his kidney value going up to a rage off great concern, he had battled an allergic reaction to medicine when he was 3.5 years young and he had a lot of pain associated to this illness so the vet gave him a pain med called previcox, which is a great pain pill but it can over time affect the kidneys and it did on my boy. His kidney values were so high that the vet feared that he will have kidney failure soon, and I should prepare myself to say good-bye to my boy. I refused to give up on him because he was still so full of life and very happy. So I gave this product a try and after using it for three month the vet rechecked his kidney values and they have improved to almost "NORMAL" values, so I am very exited that my boy is actually becoming healthy!!!! I personally would give this product a 10 star!!!! When my boy was sick with this allergic reaction I had used a different product from Only Natural Pet for the skin & coat and that product did wonders as well, three vet's told me that my dog would not have any hair after he heals, and I have to say they were wrong!!! His coat is better then before! So thank you so much for these great products that are natural and safe to give to our beloved pets, the cost is reasonable compared to the so high vet bills. Thank you again for saving my dogs life!!! And to anyone out there trying to make a decision on if you should try this product.....don't think too long and waist time just order and try it you will see for yourself that it works. But you need to give this everyday with no interruptions, some people give things (vitamins/herbs) one or two times and then they say it does not work, it works if you keep giving it to your pet every day! animals respond to natural things soooo much better then chemicals....my "Bear" surely is and he is more then living proof that the products from "Only Natural Pet" WORK!!! If I could download before and after pic's I would....it would blow peoples minds! My dogs skin was so bad he didn't look like a dog anymore and now he is more then healthy with a beautiful shinny coat all thanks to those great products! Thank you again over and over!!!

Great procuct to help balance PH level
By Busybee
from Tacoma, WA
My dog had STRUVITE CRYSTALS and put him on Urinary SO formulae for 6 weeks. They disappeared and my vet suggested I keep him on it permanently. I told him I did a lot of research and was going to steer towards some homeopathic remedies, found out dogs have a 30% chance of a reoccurrence. He just finished his first bottle and seems to be feeling fine. I check his PH level and it is consistently in a normal range now. The Urinary So would have cost over $100 a month to feed him. I also read it is not good to keep them on the Urinary SO longterm. He had an abnormal bilirubin reading after being on this formulae and that would have affected his liver, possibly leading to cancer. His bilirubin is normal now. The little amount of $$ it costs to have him on this kidney support is well worth it!!
works great give to all 4 cats.

Seems to work well. No problems so far.
Dog is Acting younger
By hbears2002
from St. James, MN
I checked with my vet to make sure he knew about the Kidney Support and I asked him if it'd work for Peanut. He said to get it. So I did, and have been cutting and emptying the capsule into his food, 2xs a day, my dog eats dog food trays. At first, I didn't notice anything. Then, after 1-week, I noticed he had to pee more often, so I took him out, of course. I even started getting mad thinking he was peeing TOO much, but then, I started to notice: he was running again. He's jumping on furniture again. He sleeps next to me again! Woohooo!! Its a miracle! lol. I think it is working. I'm keeping him on it, at least for now.

I use this product along with others (pH-) and she hasn't had a UTI in the entire time I've been using these products. She is 11 yrs old today and doing great - she is a completely "onlynaturalpet.com" girl, with these products and preventative flea and tic tag and she is energetic, healthy, and no one can believe she is 11! THANK YOU onlynaturalpet.com!

The concept presents a superior way to shave, cutting down on problems and irritations and making the whole process more enjoyable. aMENity also recognizes that men's skin care needs to be about much more than just shaving. That is why the company has branched out to address other concerns like acne, body odor, wrinkles and dry skin.

Nice Beads, but wish it had plastic snap
By Beaded Lanyard Lover
from Dayton, OH
Best Uses
Comments about idville Brown Beaded Lanyard:
This would be a great lanyard but for one thing, the ring is much harder to change than the plastic snaps, and the badge doesn't lay flat. I was hoping I could just buy a plastic snap to replace the ring, but the smallest lot sold would cost me $51. I like the beads so I do wear it, but not nearly as much as I would if it wasn't such a pain to change.

Designing a Persuasive Video Game
I know what you're probably thinking. Video games may be extremely cool. They may be innovative. They may make tons of money. But they're ultimately, unavoidably, just entertainment. And persuasion is serious business; if you want to convince people to change their minds or to act differently, games probably aren't the way to do it… right?
But I say firmly and with conviction: wrong. Every medium is a channel that can convey many types of content. Books, television, and charcoal sketches each have the capacity to entertain, educate, and make powerful statements. But the unique ability of video games to command a player's attention may in fact make them an ideal way to persuade.
I'm not alone in thinking that there's potential in persuasive gaming. In March 2010, the USDA and Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign announced a contest challenging designers to create games that would persuade kids age 9 through 12 to eat healthier. I worked with a brilliant team (Andrew Karetas, Bri Lance, Jim Chiponis, and Amanda Ferrara) that created an entry titled Fitter Critters
Below I explain how we attempted to combine principles of both UX and game design to demonstrate the persuasive potential of video games.
The Core Message
A persuasive game has to be built around a focused message. Vaguely defined messages lead to confusing game experiences, so it's important to get specific before moving on to finer details of the design.
When our team was designing Fitter Critters we had a general sense that we wanted to create a virtual pet game, but we didn't really know how it would work. So we took some time to write down what messages we wanted our game to impart, and came up with two core messages:
- Eating a varied diet rich in vegetables, fruit, and whole grains leads to a better quality of life.
- Eating junk food may have short-term advantages, but in the long run it's not worth the negative health consequences.
Now that we had something to work with, the basic game mechanics snapped into place:
- The players need to shop for food their critters and feed them on a daily basis.
- A set of scales show the critter's progress toward daily nutritional needs like vegetables and whole grains, as well as limits on fats and added sugar.
- If the player consistently makes better nutritional choices, the critter will be healthier and lead a more prosperous life.
Players need to provide the critter with food to fill the bars at the bottom of the screen.
A clearly articulated core message also helps designers decide which proposed gameplay ideas to adopt. An effective message needs to be communicated clearly. Digressive game mechanics risk muddying the message and need to be dropped. For example, one of our early ideas was to have the game track when the critter gets full, after which it would reject any more food. But the concept had no meaningful punch. A critter's fullness had nothing to do with whether you'd fed it healthy food or junk food—it was just full. This gameplay element also would have forced players to return to the game several times a day to feed their critters, interfering with the message. By leaving aside this feature, we gave our game a more focused design, and kept the project's scope limited to building only those features we absolutely needed.
Designing Discovery
Players naturally tend to seek out the most efficient ways to meet the objectives of a game. Discovery is an especially effective way to teach through games because it gives players a feeling of ownership of new information. Rather than being directly instructed that the core message is true, players internalize the message as a working hypothesis and use the game to prove to themselves that it's true. To succeed in the game, they need to buy into its point of view.
Exploiting this principle of gameplay design,Fitter Critters creates opportunities for discovery in multiple ways. First, players need to shop for their virtual pet's food. The grocer offers over 600 food choices, each with a label listing its nutrition information. One of the key challenges in the game is sifting through the multitude of options to discover the food items that will fill the nutrition requirements as quickly as possible while keeping fat and sugar as low as possible. For example, players may discover that sorbets are among the best dessert choices available, since they're free of fat and added sugar and actually provide valuable servings of fruit.
Players also discover the advantages of maintaining a garden and using it as a source of food. Harvesting free food from the garden allows players to use their resources more efficiently and save money for other things (as in real life). Creating such optional activities that offer real advantages to players who invest the extra effort is a great way to enable persuasion through discovery.
Players can shop for food or harvest for free from the garden.
Finally, Fitter Critters lets players get creative by combining foods into cooked meals, which can be sold for up to a 500% profit depending upon the healthfulness of its ingredients. Using tactics like this, game worlds can create a perception of tangible value for discoveries that might be harder to perceive in the real world.
All of these discovery opportunities were designed to persuade children to think differently about the foods they eat every day, while at the same time modeling the real-life skills needed to make thoughtfully discriminating choices about their diets. To be successful, players of persuasive games need to internalize the game's core messages and get used to applying them in the real world.
Meaningful Choices
A game designer's trap was hiding inside the game's overall concept: if healthy food offered only benefits and junk food only drawbacks, then the game would present no real choice at all. Players would always pick the healthy food since there would be no reason to consider anything else.
Interesting games offer players meaningful choices. Imagine if a racing game offered players the choice of two cars, one fast and the other slow. Which would you pick? Not only would winning this game feel distinctly unfulfilling, but the player would also never need to weigh the real advantages and disadvantages of different types of cars. Games with simplistic choices create no opportunities for players to learn.
It sounds weird, but there has to be some advantage to making some wrong choices. It's best if choices fall on a smooth continuum from right to wrong, with a competing set of advantages and disadvantages all along the way.
In Fitter Critters, there are two built-in advantages to consuming high-calorie foods. First, your critter needs to have a certain minimum level of energy to participate in the sports games. Calorie-rich foods fill up your critter's energy bar quickly, giving it immediate energy to play more games. Second, a higher energy level also allows the critter to earn more money each day from work (although this caps at 2000 calories). That bacon double cheeseburger offers a fast track to higher energy levels.
Energy allows players to participate in sports.
Of course, unhealthy food choices also have important consequences. Exceeding daily limits on calories, fat, or sugar brings down the critter's health over time. An unhealthy critter will lose the sports games more often and earn less money at work. It will be more likely to get sick and lose an entire day's wages. The critter will also develop a taste for junk food and start to reject healthier choices, making it harder to get it back to a healthy lifestyle.
This gives players a meaningful choice. It also supports the second core message of the game: whatever short-term advantages there are to eating junk food, they're outweighed by the damage done to health and quality of life. And by creating meaningful choices involving real trade-offs, this message is learned instead of simply taught.
Games build engagement with players by offering structured rewards in exchange for actions—actions ranging from jumping over barrels to killing enemy soldiers. In Fitter Critters, all player rewards are based on nutrition choices. We arranged the rewards in the game in a laddered structure, so that one type of reward leads to another. This gives the game a dimensionality that unfolds over the course of play.
At the bottom rung, eating well increases health and reduces body fat. Players are offered simple praise as they meet their critter's nutritional requirements, and get the satisfaction of watching its bars fill. All games offer these kinds of fleeting rewards, but they're not enough to sustain interest for very long.
Moving up one step, healthier characters earn more money. Critters are paid a salary once a day, and the amount of the paycheck is determined by their health and energy (which also affect productivity in the real world). Staying healthy puts critters at lower risk of getting sick, and sick days cost an entire day's wages. Healthier critters will also win sports games more often. When players win sports games, their critters are paid $50 in game cash. It can be fun to watch your purse grow, but game money is ultimately worthless without anything to spend it on.
Farther up the ladder, players can use money to decorate their critter's home. The decorations range from inexpensive lamps to topiaries to an extra window. In the near future, players will also be able to build extensions to the house and upgrade home furnishings. Customization is a much more tangible reward, but what good is it if no one else can appreciate your creativity?
Earning money allows players to trick out their homes.
At the top rung, more decorations earn you a higher ranking on the game's leaderboard. Starting in the fall of 2010, critters will also be able to visit one another's houses to see how they've been tricked out. Social rewards like these are among the most powerful motivators that games can offer players.
But all of these rewards ultimately depend on the nutritional choices the player makes for his or her critter, making it the essential foundation of the critter's lifestyle. In a persuasive game, effective rewards need to have a clear relationship to the design's core message.
Games in the Real World
If we dismiss video games as nothing more than frivolous entertainment, we're cheating ourselves out of a potent way to communicate with an audience. When players feel engaged with a game, they are highly focused on figuring out what it'll take to win. This state of heightened attention creates an opportunity to bring about real change in people by building a message into the structure of the gameplay. Much attention is paid to whether games contribute to social problems, but not enough attention is given to their capacity to solve them.

I've been building Flash games for commercial clients for years, and I think you need to make a distinction between games that are sold purely for entertainmnt (eg GTA as mentioned above) and educational games.
Educational games are traditionally less enticing because they also serve to push messages. They're either used as part of a campaign for something, or bought by parents who would prefer some added value in the games they let their young children use.
My company's built several successful Flash games for various ages but on the whole I think while they served their purpose of mixing entertainment with educational well, they'd never compete on the same level and scale as games made for entertainment.
That's not to say that those games are all mindless fun either. There are successful games that do promote some good values. Eg superhero games promote a strong good vs evil theme; Little Big Planet promotes group fun and cooperation.
But as humans I think we all psyche ourselves for different things. So if I want to destress from a hard day's work by randomly smashing cars, I'm not in the mood for some goody-2-shoes objective trying to tell me something.
Different types of games just exist for different objectives.
I found the article interesting and see great potential with video games, however I'd be more interested if there had been some outcome assessment done to show the impact of the overall concept. Do children who play the game display different attitudes or behaviors? It would seem logical that a game such as this that engages users would have an impact, and many of us have worked based on that intuition, but clearly documented outcomes would be ideal to show that designs like these are worth funding.
Hope you keep up the work!
Very interesting.
I wish that designers of certain other games (ahem, Grand Theft Auto) thought honestly about the educational potential of what they're building in this way.
Somehow I don't think we can have our cake and eat it too (games designed around positive behaviors are powerful persuasive and educational tools, but games designed around negative behaviors are mere fantasy and have no bearing on the real world... right.)
Very good Article!
I work with a videogames company that is applying similar concepts very successfully. In Uruguay there is a government plan called Ceibal to promote digital inclusion. A private investor approached us because he wants to contribute to Ceibal with educational content, but other initiatives failed producing educational content because children don't want to use it. So we feel that the best way to achieve it was through a videogame. We designed a videogame that seeks to entertain in first place, and thus motivate children to learn new things to be able to win the game. It was designed like a real videogame (with a history, characters, achievements, scores, good graphics and music, etc), and with teachers that contributes with pedagogical aspects. And this formula works pretty well, the children feels like they are playing a real videogame, but also they are learning.
The game is an adventure in which the player takes the role of a detective, and has to travel around the country capturing thieves who are stealing part of the national heritage. Players will have to solve puzzles using their knowledge of mathematics and language in order to obtain clues. Afterwards, they will have to associate the obtained clues using their knowledge of history and geography, in order to find the place where the thief is hidden. After finding the hideout, the player will chase after the thief until he is finally caught and imprisoned. This game was inspired by a successful game of the 80s named Carmen San Diego. Here there is a video of our game with the main texts in English: http://vimeo.com/12988220
After one and a half month since we published the game, we have more than 380.000 clicks in our download links and 4250 gigabytes downloaded from our servers. These are very big numbers for a small country like Uruguay (with 400.000 children in primary education). Also we received very rewarding comments from children, but also from parents and teachers. Now we are talking to institutions and governments to adapt the game to others countries and tried to create more success stories like this.
So, videogames could be a good way to contribute with education. Children want to play, and if you design fun games, they will play it even if they have educational content.

Really good article. I have an interest in all things that focus on human decision.
I don't have a background in game design and maybe it isn't even taught in that curriculum but I found the piece about good bad choices interesting. It made sense that if their isn't a good side to picking a choice then they are just being taught.
It is one of my core theories that people love learning things but they hate being taught. They learn things in shows like House, CSI, and many other mediums in the entertainment industry however if you told them it was educational they would run.
Really interesting article.

I live in a Condo with 20 feet high ceilings, they smell my place like pine trees and thats when they sit un lit. Love them, Great as a gift. I will buy again.
Best Christmas candle ever!
I burned this candle every day leading up to Christmas for hours each day. People came into my house and talked about how good my live tree smelled; I told them it was my Christmas candle, not the tree. I gave one as a gift and will give more next year (plus buy a few for myself). Expensive but worth it!!

I have Ubuntu on my laptop. Now I want install Windows 7 in a dual-boot. How can I do this?
I can't lose my Ubuntu files, and I'm afraid that I might break GRUB.
I have Ubuntu on my laptop. Now I want install Windows 7 in a dual-boot. How can I do this? I can't lose my Ubuntu files, and I'm afraid that I might break GRUB. |
Here's the general outline:
Step OneOpen up GParted, and make sure that you have at least 20 GB available for Windows 7, either as a partition you can remove, or as unpartitioned space. If it's a partition, remove it from GRUB to make sure it doesn't break your Ubuntu install -- GParted will complain if anything bad is about to happen. Make note of current Step TwoInstall Windows 7 into the space you just made Step ThreeLoad up from your Ubuntu live CD, and then run these commands. If you DO NOT have a separate
If you have a SEPARATE
Step FourThen continue with those commands:
And restart. It should work fine and boot both systems. |
Installing Windows after Ubuntu is not the recommended process for a dual boot Windows and Ubuntu system, but it is possible.
When you boot have you checked the boot order on your BIOS? If you're booting straight to the hard drive it will always miss the USB. You need to move the USB device boot option higher in the priority list. Also check that your computer allows you to boot from USB in the USB port you are using. |
boot-repair did a really good job launched from a live-usb, by just applying the recommended option. |
To install Windows you need an empty partition that will be dedicated to Windows. If you do, then go ahead and install on this using the normal installation procedure. After installation, reboot into Windows and reboot a few times more to experience Windows ;-) (sorry, couldn't resist) Like you said, this will break GRUB and your computer can only boot Windows after this. Do not despair, as there is a help section dedicated to restoring GRUB and being able to dual boot. Look here. After performing this, your computer will be able to boot Ubuntu as well as Windows. Before you start, very very carefully note down the location (hard drive number, make & partition number within that) of the current Ubuntu install (which you don't obviously want to overwrite) and the empty partition in which you want to install windows. Also, during Windows installation, if it offers to format any partition other than the one you are installing Windows into, please do not accept. |
First, you have to boot with a live CD/USB stick and shrink your partition in order to create a second one. Windows 7 requires and creates a second partition which is called "system reserved". I don't know why, but it does. (So you will end up with three partitions or four if you have a swap partition.) When your partition is ready, just boot with your Windows 7 DVD/USB stick and install Windows 7 on the new partition. When Windows 7 has been installed, GRUB will break and you will only be able to boot Windows (automatically). Just boot with a live Ubuntu CD/USB stick and fix it (how it is mentioned in other comments). Now another issue that some users may face: I own an HP Mini 210 netbook which came with Windows 7. I erased everything and installed Ubuntu. Later on I decided to also reinstall Windows 7 and have a dual boot (needed Windows for a specific application from my university which wouldn't run through wine). At that time I had three partitions:
Now when I tried to install Windows 7 I faced a problem because Windows 7 needs to create a second primary partition (system reserved). I already had three partitions and therefore was unable to create two more. The workaround here is to create an extended partition in which you will include both swap and backup storage. Now I have:
In case your computer came with a pre-installed copy of Windows 8 and you removed it because to many people told you to hate it and you found that after you installed Ubuntu, that it isn't what you want, note this: Your computer boots with UEFI and has a GPT partition table.For installing Windows 7, either create and boot the Windows 7 installation media in UEFI-mode or set boot-mode and partition table to legacy. |
The most save way is to install Windows 7 first and to reinstall Ubuntu after that. This will ensure that grub works. You can also edit your partitions with a live cd, and then install Windows 7. When you have done this you boot into Ubuntu with a live cd and restore grub. This procedure however, is a bit more delicate than just installing them in the right order. |
One good advice: When you make the separate partition for Windows 7, using gparted for example, format it to the NTFS right away. Do not use Windows installer to format the partition, because several times I had a situation, when the Windows installer corrupted the partition table after that and I had to restore the lost partition. So, as the people recommended here: using gparted, create separate partition, format it to the ntfs, install windows there, then restore grub using livecd or liveflash. You can use the SystemResqueCD for liveflash. |
I suggest you virtualize Windows 7 with something like VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org) This way you can run Windows and Linux at the same time, without the chance of destroying you Bootloader Grub. I don't know why you want to run Windows 7, but if you don't need the full hardware capacity (Running the Latest 3D Games for example) of your computer for windows then virtualization can be a good solution. |
Boot that USB
Reboot... |
Installing windows after ubuntu is a pain but after you do this you'll need to put in your ubuntu live cd and install boot-repair and run that. Becouse installing win7 after ubuntu will break grub. But, boot-repair will remedy that! |
Its a easy process to install dual OS. 1st create a NTFS partition from Ubuntu using Disk Utility. Then restart your system and continue with your windows installing. After finishing installing you can see that your GRUB is not working..... NOT A PROBLEM. I have two method to fix this GRUB problem. [Method 2] It may be bit difficult. Don't worry i have also a easy one. For that you have to login into windows. Download EasyBCD and run it. Go to Edit Boot Menu and set your desired boot option as default. Then save it and reboot your system. [Tested under windows]. Please let me know if you stack in something. |
Basically the same answer as @evgeny, but using
Download Puppy Linux. Boot it Goto Menu-System-Install GrubForDos. It will auto detect windows and ubuntu. Follow the instructions and enjoy! |
