A Gamification Framework for Interaction Designers
Gamification is a hot topic. Missed it? On Google Trends it first appeared as a blip in late October 2010 and then took off in January so quickly that it appeared on NPR's Weekend Edition in March. Investors seem interested, and it already has a sold-out conference and a fast-growing list of agencies that will help you "do gamification." You can even join a quest to become a gamification expert.
As I dove into some reading, a framework emerged that helped me understand gamification generally, and also specifically how (or whether!) to think about it in relationship to projects I'm working on at the moment. This framework also helped to put all the examples and criticisms into a context I could get my head around.
Defining Gamification
Gamification, according to Wikipedia, is:
[T]he use of game play mechanics for non-game applications… particularly consumer-oriented web and mobile sites, in order to encourage people to adopt the applications. It also strives to encourage users to engage in desired behaviors in connection with the applications. Gamification works by making technology more engaging, and by encouraging desired behaviors, taking advantage of humans' psychological predisposition to engage in gaming.
In other words, make the stuff you're building engaging so people do what you want, or think about ways to make them want the same things you want. And this is the breakthrough bit: the stuff you're building doesn't have to be a game to be fun or engaging—anything can be fun or engaging!
A Framework for Understanding Degrees of Gamification
As the critics point out, some gamified products are just poorly executed. Just because you saw something in a game once doesn't mean it'll be fun in your product. But I think that most of the critics of gamification fail to take into account the wide range of execution that's possible. Gamification can be applied as a superficial afterthought, or as a useful or even fundamental integration. To tease out some differences and to think about how to implement gamification, we at DesignMap have started to put together a framework:
- Cosmetic: adding game-like visual elements or copy (usually visual design or copy driven)
- Accessory: wedging in easy-to-add-on game elements, such as badges or adjacent products (usually marketing driven)
- Integrated: more subtle, deeply integrated elements like % complete (usually interaction design driven)
- Basis: making the entire offering a game (usually product driven)
Cosmetic Game Elements
Examples that fall into the cosmetic category abound, especially in shopping, with the use of large photographs that are reminiscent of the immersive graphics available in popular video games such as the Call of Duty or Halo series. The purpose of this in games is to immerse the player into a believable experience. It's also usually reinforced by creating a story around that experience, and the two together create an immersive effect that invites the player to engage. In other applications, the result can fall short unless it's carefully thought through.
The Adventure at Altitude site uses a large photo background it looks like it could have come right out of Cursed Mountain or Uncharted2.
Uncharted 2
You could be choosing this Chrysler 300 from the armory of Halo Reach

Almost too right-on-the-nose, the Prada site includes comic strips
There are also more sites using fun or playful copy. With the recent release of Portal 2, it's hard not to think of the Portal AI's promise of cake.
iMeet is dusting your cube, suggests that you take this time to fix your hair, and is warming up the room.
Dropbox recommends a Snickers bar.
Easter eggs also fall into this category.
YouTube's snake Easter egg
Accessory Game Elements
Gamification in the accessory category is the most common, and draws the most criticism from the gaming community for having no value beyond pure marketing pull. Some of the gamification services provided by companies such as BigDoor and Bunchball fall into this space. Their services provide explicit rewards such as points, levels, and leader status. The fact that external companies can even provide "gamification solutions" to other businesses speaks to their fundamental add-on-able-ness.
Bunchball addresses a laundry list of gamification "mechanics" and needs
Other examples of accessory gamification include tacked-on game elements such as newsgames like Huffington Post's Predict the News. Poorly performing leaderboards are poorly performing specifically when they're treated as accessories, and are empty because users aren't actually motivated to the desired behavior (product reviews in particular seem to suffer from this). Leaderboards that perform well are integrated into the site (see the example in the next category).
Integrated Game Elements
Gamification in the integrated category is subtler, more thoughtfully integrated, and less explicit than the other examples we've examined so far. Examples include leveraging a sense of accomplishment and competition for Backcountry's leaderboard (which is deeply integrated an extension of the company's DNA of catering to hard-core enthusiasts who are passionate about these products), and Amazon's top reviewers.
backcountry.com's leaderboard
Unlike cosmetic and accessory game elements, integral elements speak directly several types of natural motivations. LinkedIn, Facebook, and Nike use progress meters to entice users onward; the company wants the user to finish, and the progress meters provide a clear visualization of how near they are to a sense of having achieved completion. Sites such as Gilt Group and Daily Candy's Swirl, or one-deal-at-a-time sites like Woot, use scarcity and competition to drive behavior.
Nike wants you to want to finish designing your shoes
Woot provides detailed information on other purchases
Basis Gamification
In the basis category, activities that weren't games before have become games. The pleasure people get from playing games is layered onto everyday activities.
Badge sites fall into this category because the whole premise of simply being somewhere is suddenly a game. Badges from sites such as Foursquare, Gravity, Zaang, and Gowalla are all echoes of the rewards provided in video games. Xbox has "achievements," and the Playstation Network has "trophies." Wii Sports has a stamp system, although the famous Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto says:
I'm not a big fan of using the carrots to motivate people to play. I want people to play because they enjoy playing and they want to play more.
Many of the products in the basis category address something that might otherwise be less-than-fun, such as exercising, saving energy, or donating money. Gamification resonates especially with these examples, as these solutions try to make things more-than-less-than-fun. Anyone with kids will recognize this activity, as we wrack our brains for ways to make brushing teeth or cleaning house the most exciting thing anyone could ever aspire to do. Giving to charities becomes more interesting and engaging with products such as Free Rice and Spent. BBC Pinball has some interesting idea management games.
Spent supports the development of empathy and requests donations when the game is over
BBC Online provides games to help come up with, sort, and prioritize ideas
Competition shows up in this category too, with sites that help improve personal habits such as stickK, Skinnyo, Healthmonth, and Welectricity.
Welectricity lets users compete against one another and their own goals to reduce energy use
People can save money by punching the pig or chasing Mint's goals, or cross things off to-do lists with Rough Underbelly, or get chores done with Chore Wars.
Mint helps people set up and keep "score" against a goal
Jane McGonigal is working on saving the world (literally) with her games. A believer in the power of games to motivate, she predicts that UX designers will become "happiness engineers."
Other Frameworks
As you're considering how to build gamification (delight, enticement, and interest) into your product, there are some other guidelines or frameworks to consider:
- Gabe Zicherman, chairman of at the Gamification Summit, talks about "SAPS": status, access, power, and stuff. Gabe's model may be a game-centric take on Maslow's broader model.
- In a Mercury News article, Badgeville founder Kris Duggan identified three large categories of behavior that can be influenced through gamification: personal achievement, group motivation, and contextual communications.
- One definition of "game" by Roger Caillois states that games must have all of these attributes: fun, separate, uncertain, non-productive, governed by rules, and fictitious. (It's interesting to note that most of the examples of gamification I've called out meet some five of the six attributes listed here.)
- Richard A. Bartle proposed four types of game players for MUDs: achiever, explorer, socialiser and imposer (if you're making personas and thinking of focusing on gamification, it might make sense to include their "Bartle type").
- Nicole Lazzaro and Marc LeBlanc have different but very interesting models on types of games and players.
- When thinking about building game elements into a product, it becomes important to consider a progression of user experience, as opposed to just beginners and experts. See Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's work and this diagram of his concept of "flow."
- Of course Jesse James Garrett's framework is useful to re-consider in this context.
Hope for Interaction Designers
Before we pack up and leave the field for the game designers, it's worth considering what's really going on in the last two levels of our model, integrated and basis: the enticement of people into an action to support their own goals within a product. This is the space where interaction design plays nicely, remembering all that we've learned from our years of persona development and that no one wakes up in the morning hoping to fill out a form that day. Instead, we empathize with people, and remember that they have higher goals. We use our skills to create delightful interactions that entice people to move forward within our sites. This is the stuff we've been doing forever. As Vitruvius said (loosely translated), "Good design has three things: stability, usefulness, and delight." Interaction designers are perfectly positioned to start delivering this kind of delight.

Many charwomen account that Royal Jelly may feature substantial anti-cancer belongings.
refreshing royal jelly has the topper consequences, but it would use up human trial runs to bear this out.
This article is a good attempt to initiate the UX designers into the world of gamification!
Hi Zack, not sure how to reply to your criticism except that I hope for interaction designers just beginning to think about gamification (along with everything else they're constantly getting or keeping up to speed with), this could be a little helpful in encouraging them to think beyond just shiny stuff or tacking on features. Certainly it's not THE framework, which is why other structures are included here. Gamification, together with related game theory and the psychology of motivation is a HUGE topic that can easily overwhelm (and is pretty humbling to write about). Some kind of simple structure is a nice way to begin to approach it, at least for me, and also separate the issues critics are complaining about from the things that are truly useful.
To my point in the article, I hope we designers are always thinking about what people want and why, about what the business wants, and how to align all that in a compelling or even delightful way. For designers with some experience, this kind of thinking *should* go back to the late 90's with personas and their goals, and should be part of what they (I) do every day. Gamification just gives us a new perspective on that. My experience does extend to stuff that's more typically "gamified", with scores even, but I think that misses the point and the power of what's possible with gamification.
Finally, if you know Hugh Dubberly then you know that no one knows their sh*t inside and out like he does. Those of us who've worked at DDO are just lucky that he thought we might be able to keep up a little. In any event, I'm sorry the article didn't live up to your expectations.
Wow UXMag, this is a poor excuse for an article, let alone a "framework." Disappointed that you took perhaps the hottest 'trend' in our community and served up this shallow and erroneous article. I have to side with the criticisms put forth by Bunchball and Fjord here.
Audrey, can you tell us what products or services you've applied gamification frameworks to? I'd like to know what your experience is and what your clients ROI was.
Dubberly staff usually know their sh*t inside out. This has me truly shaking my head.

Andrew, the full bleed graphics are just one example of the cosmetic and sometimes "lipstick on a pig" problems that Ian Greenleigh also talks about in his "pitfall" article: http://frc.vc/3g3
I'm sure you have clients who ask you for something that looks fun, sexy or like their favorite video game or Apple product. It's (hopefully) not the most interesting part of the article, but I'm sure you could add several examples yourself of visual/interface treatments that make things look like games and aren't -- buying a Chrysler looks a lot like you're choosing equipment from an armory, the Prada site has another area that actually has a heads-up display, etc...
I'm confused as to why you think full screen imagery is gamification on a cosmetic level (The Adventure at Altitude site uses a large photo background it looks like it could have come right out of Cursed Mountain or Uncharted2).
Does this mean that before games, full bleed imagery in editorial magazines invented gamification cosmetics... no. It's a very weak example and as a visual design lead I would suggest that full screen images are the only option when trying to communicate the grandeur and scale of mountaineering. Before the internet wide screen cinema employed as much real estate as possible to convey the scale of a scene, this is simply being translated to web in the example you used. This is not gamification on any level. If anything it's cinematification.
Andrew Barker
Visual Design Lead
Thanks for this thoughtful exploration of the subject, Audrey! I'd agree with Rajat that we (BigDoor) are seeing a broad variety of implementations among our customers and that the narrative underlying each one varies in depth, and therefore how intricate/integrated the solution appears to be.
I'd also argue that some of the examples you cite under "Cosmetic" are actually much deeper expressions of the fundamental personality and spirit of the people behind the products themselves, and not strictly expressions of gamification. Especially little throwaways like "Grab a Snickers" – they're often subtle expressions of empathy and whimsy that strengthen people's identification with a product (and often build their confidence in the team behind it).
Matt Shobe
Chief Design Officer, BigDoor
Hi Rajat, I think there are some important distinctions to be made between the degrees of depth and competence, which get at what gamification critics complain about at the top level (and we want to address those complaints!), and a fundamental concept at the bottom level. But I don't think it was necessarily fair or reasonable for me to lump in everything that all the gamification service companies provide at one level (never say "always", right?). Would love a demo and will be contacting you offline!
Julian, thanks for adding the links. This is a crazy-huge space now and it's hard to pare down the list, but always interesting to read more.
Rami, I'd recommend reading up on Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's idea of flow, to your first point. Also note that gamification doesn't always involve competition, and if thoughtfully implemented takes into account people who are motivated by other things (see Bartle's model of MUD players). Gamification can absolutely be used for and perceived as serious business, it just has to be understood as potentially much more than adding a score. Here's an interesting (though competitive) offline "serious business" example: http://kottke.org/11/05/when-nothing-else-works-try-this
I still have a lot of doubt regarding gameifiction:
1-it may punish late comer, imagine there is social network give people points upon their participation, and you sign up to find all your connections has +5000 points and you start with zero, it will lets user feel he is not belong to this place or he is under achiever.
2-it effects the quality of content generated, imagine you give points based on each task user achieve, or question he answer, user will posts low quality and spam like contents, just to gain points.
3- it increase tension between users, what you would feel if you are inside the elevator with stranger and both of you know he will get point if he exit the elevator first!!!
4- It will push away serious, business users; you will not like your client to see your passion with collecting points over the application.
I think the only success example of gamefiction until now is the progress bar and trying to push it more than that in serious or business app will fail.
Rami Khalil
I feel that you can't really tackle this subject without referring to Daniel Cook over at http://www.lostgarden.com/. It's exactly what he's been doing for years, and he's an astonishing speaker and writer.

Hi Audrey -
I don't really understand your categories. Cosmetic is pretty straightforward. After that there's really only one category - "integrated" - with varying levels of depth and competence.
Our customers are using our platform to implement everything from simple badging systems, to sales incentive programs, to full-fledged loyalty programs for TV shows. Ping me and I'd be happy to give you a demo.
btw - before starting Bunchball I worked in Interaction Design at IDEO and was in the HCI program at Stanford, so it's great to see interaction designers start to pay attention to gamification!
best, - rajat

I don't see this filter washable (12 x 30 x 1) will be a special order, call Grainger.
Yes, Grainger have it! Look items 2W237 Or 6B929.
Grainger does NOT sell parts for mini-split units Sanyo. This filter-kit STK-ARF4B is optional for the unit KS1251, the KS1251 came with a washable filter that under my experience works well, but you have to keep it clean, even if you buy the optional. The optional it's a secondary filter and it's NOT washable it's disposable, the kit STK-ARF4B came only with one filter, so you have to buy: the kit STK-ARF4B and filters STK-F4B. Call a Sanyo mini-split A/C dealers, they are the only ones that sell this kit.
Thank you for using Grainger Ask and Answer.
Yes, Grainger carry 24" x 24" x 1" filters, but when you are asking for a filter also let Grainger know what kind the filter do you want, there is so many kind of filters on the 24" x 24" x 1" size (fiberglass, pleated, metal,.....) the most popular is the Pleated Standard, that will works good on your home or office, also if you order on case of twelve (12) you will have better price and don't worry for a year. Even if the filter say 90 days change every 30 days, because the conditions where they lab-tested are not the same that you have.

text: PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina center T.J. Johnson says the Gamecocks are ready to wipe away the problems of the last two weeks. Johnson has a good handle on the team's attitude. He will start his 48th game, more than anyone in school history, when No. 17 South Carolina (6-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) takes on Tennessee (3-4, 0-4) this Saturday. Johnson has watched the team go from a middle-of-the-pack SEC team to challenger for the league title since he arrived before the 2008 season. Still, he's as upset as anyone about the Gamecocks' two-game slide that dropped them from national championship contender to trying to restore momentum after a 6-0 start. Johnson says players have put the problems of the past two games behind them and get the season back on track.

If you could bring one deceased horror movie victim back from the dead, who would you resurrect and why?
My vote, without a moments thought, goes to the man who was so badass that he valiantly fought Freddy and lived to see another sequel. From Nightmare On Elm Street's Part 3 and 4.....
Roland Kincaid, as portrayed by the super cool Ken Sagoes (or as I call him ; Ken whatever I Say-goes). Why, you might be asking? Videos speak louder than words....
This man is a golden god and that right there is proof of the utmost degree. Simply put, Ken Sagoes is one of the main reasons why Dream Warriors is my favorite in the franchise. What would've been a minor unimportant and unmemorable role that probably would've ended in Part 3, Sagoes turned into an iconic and highly memorable, not to mention incredibly likeable, character. Although I love that scene in the junkyard where Kincaid gets killed off in Part 4, I still can't help but shed a tear inside everytime I see it. Roland Kincaid, if I had the power to bring you back from the dead to battle Freddy one last time, you can bet your ass i'd utilize it.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ken Sagoes at the Monster Mania convention a couple years back and although I clammed up and did not ask him to utter the single greatest line in horror film history, like I had planned, it was still an experience I will never forget. I took a picture with the man but at the moment I cannot seem to find it. Although I think that even if I were to find it I probably wouldn't post it because as I recall, it was perhaps the least flattering photo of myself ever taken. Sagoes, however, looked like the beautiful chocolate angel that he is.
So, who would you bring back from the other side? Leave a comment and let me know!

http://www.degreesthatwork.tv While natural gas has been extracted for more than a century, advancements in technology have accelerated the industry's development in recent years. The capability to access vast natural gas reservoirs contained in shale has generated a "boom" in Pennsylvania and neighboring states. The result is rewarding career opportunities, especially for those with a technical skill set. This episode of degrees that work.tv explores various career paths, explains the basics of natural gas drilling and production and visits a typical well site in north-central Pennsylvania. Considerable time is spent shadowing an automation technician, an IT expert and a welding engineer, all of whom are working in the field. As one of them explains, "Now is a great time to jump on board!"

So it has come to this...we now have to base our chances of MAKING the playoffs based on other teams wins and losses so I thought it would be an interesting thread where we can see who we need to win or lose on a given night that will help us. Currently the standings and games back are as follows as of 2/23/2012
Spurs 3.5
Lakers 6
Dallas 8.5
Memphis 9
Clippers 9
Denver 9
Houston 9.5
Utah 10
Ill stop it at those for now. Anyways for tonight's games we have....
Wolves @ OKC..Sort of a wash but lets go OKC. The less teams nipping at our heels the better
Dallas @ San Antonio....For sure want Spurs to win this one. We will then be in a 4 way tie for.
Portland @ Lakers.... I was surprised and happy the Blazers won last night against Memphis so lets hope they can do it again against the lakers!
Denver @ Uath...this one is bit more tricky....But you have to go with Utah on this one although it will move Utah in the playoffs and Denver out, but the more shifting the better...as long as we are not the ones doing the shifting.
The Memphis game tomorrow is massive.
The team will be back at home things will get cleared out(even Vinny hopefully PLEASE)and then will start another win streak and get momentum on Monday after we blow out New Orleans
^ love the optimism
and yes...biggest game of the season (although it seems every game is the biggest of the season now)
I'm liking the way Utah plays, and I'm REALLY REALLY big on klay thompson from the warriors!
Yeah, maybe I'm giving more significance that it deserves, but I really think a quality win over Memphis could start the team down the track of getting their mo-jo back. An easy win over a good team in an important game, which we haven't had in a while, will have the team feeling some of the good vibes from early in the season. However, I am not counting on it by any means.
Sorry guys, but I will only root for the Clippers, Clippers only!
The fact that someone actually started this thread is sad as F**K.
I grew up in L A and always had to watch the other teams highlights instead of our own(For CLIPPER games) so F**k that I dont want us going back to that(Those La times papers that had the Clipper game promo's but with the other stars to go see,Fox sports/prime ticket whatever the F**k channel it use to be on use to also show the other teams dunk highlights instead of our own teams).
IF you root for other teams as well I don't consider you a fan of your team Period. Hopefully this means all the front runners will stop rooting for us 2 and we wil start tearing sh*t up again watch
^^ Thank you.
If you're actually a Clippers fan,, you'll be there thick and thin.
Couldn't say it better...
I don't think that's going to happen, but we can hope. I'll settle for a double-OT dogfight as long as we get the 'W'. That's a full game on Memphis AND the tiebreaker if it comes to that.
Ok good...so make sure you don't watch or follow what memphis does or what other teams do that are fighting for position in the playoffs. Maybe it is because clippers fan are not use to the fact that there are things called playoff postions. So here goes...
In the NBA the top 8 teams from each conference goes to a playoff. A playoff series is a series of games, 7 to be exact. So basically what happens is the number 1 seed plays the 8th seed, 2 plays 7, 3 plays 6, and 4 plays 5th seed. There are 3 playoff rounds for each conference and then the top team from the West plays the top team from the East.
So you see guys it is important to follow other teams positions so they can win or lose and that will impact how the clippers will be seeded. It is very simple.
"Wait ClipperAndrew are you saying that if the certain teams lose tonight that will help the clippers in the playoff picture?"
Yes...yes I am. So sure root for the clippers every time they get on the court, I know I do...all I am suggesting is that we are so f*&King close to even losing a playoff seed that we need to root and get help from other teams.
I understand about all these playoff position, but we should worry about ourself here. Beside to be the best, you got to beat the best. All we could do now, its just win. Dont' get defensive here.
sorry, it was mostly that other guys post that pissed me off. I apologize for being condescending. Trust me I agree totally with you, but it is still important to see how the other teams are playing. If we lose tomorrow and they win, we will be out of the playoffs. Once we are out it will be devastating for this team and I do not think we would be able to recover.
No worries, all forgiven. This is what make tommorow game very important. I feel like this will be the turning point of the season if the Clippers win. If we lose, I don't know what to say.
Well my bad I mis-read the thread then and made a mistake Clipperandrew but to say I'm on a high horse is some Bulls**t I'll just leave it at that.
Go CLIPS
^this thread is not about abandoning the clippers at all...this is just because we have been sucking we need to be aware of the other teams nipping at our heels.
Apostle has always been respectful to everyone. I know he didn't mean what you said. He was defending his love for his Clippers. Everyone needs to chill and stop calling each other names. Being called an idiot is uncalled for an unacceptable.
Everyone in here needs to stop with the name calling.
So I am with apostle on this.
It's a good thread Andrew. With only a game and a half between #4 and #10, other teams' results are VERY significant.
good stuff, clippperandrew. great resource.
and how times have changed. here's the last time i started one of these:
http://clippers.topbuzz.com/PNphpBB2-vi ... dings.html
Thanks Clippersam I appreciate that you get the point I was trying to make.ClipperAndrew calling me out as an idiot was some B.S but F**K it I'll let it go .I'm just a Clipper fan that's pissed like the rest off you and dont want to see things get back to what they use to be like.
hopefully Utah will get the win tonight.
If we can keep the 6th seed and the Lakers stay 3rd I would be happy with that first round matchup. I think playing the Lakers in the first round would be a matchup that would motivate our squad whether VDN is still coach or not. Our guys will want to play thier hearts out against the Lakers. None of the other western conference playoff teams are potetial rivals in the same respect as the Lakers. Doubt we would beat the Spurs or Thunder in the first round in the 7th or 8th seed. We need to play hard to keep the 6th seed or move up.
hey what if this is vinnys game plan? what if this is what he is shooting for? a first round match up with the lakers. what better way to make some noise in the playoffs? Or am i crazy? Yeah. im prob crazy...
^ Crazy like a fox!!!
I'll believe.
I'm originally from NC, so....The Bobcats? I'm a glutton for punishment. LOL
Ok I over reacted by calling you an idiot and for that i apologize. I just did not like the way you responded to my original thread...a thread I think is pretty important with all things considering.
but the good news is dallas, twolves, and denver lost.
Lets hope the blazers can pull out a win. I should mention the that the Suns won and are getting closer to us. The West 4-8th seed is the most competitive i have ever seen it.
I got a lot of respect 4 the both of u. Hopefully the rest of us can do the same.
Best response ever...
ClipperAndrew It's all good man I was in the wrong too I did kind of attack your thread(thinking you wrote something else) Now lets just get a F**kn W tomorrow.. CLIPPERS!!!
Like I have been saying on here all along. You top everyone on this thread. Hopefully everyone else can get it 2.
Great Job by the both of u!
So the team takes a day off and moves a notch higher in the standings...
Any chance we can keep doing that or do we actually HAVE to play the last 19?
Agreed to you all. Enough with the name calling and bashing..lets just all join together and be as positive as we can for our team for tomorrow is the biggest game of the season for us hands down. If we win the monkey on our back dies (or at least gets very very ill) or if we lose we will have a gorilla on our backs and things will be near as close to disaster mode, if not full on disaster mode, as we can get. Memphis is a team we can possibly play in the playoffs. We need to put everything to side and join as a team to get this win. I believe we can do it.
Tomorrows game...
Dallas @ Houston....Not really sure on this one because if Dallas loses they fall out of a tie with us, but Houston will then be tied with us. The best scenario is Clippers win and Houston wins, that will break the tie.
Lets get em Clips!
Hey, atleast you have UNC if you're into college basketball.
Hawks and Jazz in 4OT. Let's go hawks!!!!!
One more!
Ok guys just to catch us up, as of today we are tied for 4th with Dallas. 2.5 games behind the lakers and only 1.5 games ahead of the 8th playoff spot team Denver. Getting home court advantage in the playoffs is so very very important for this team. So who do we want to win today....
Denver @ Toronto.....Lets see if the Raps can take this one. Denver hasn't been playing very well as of late but are still a dangerous team who is very well coached.
Utah @ Boston...I think the old timers at the TD Garden will take this one...lets hope.
San Antino @ Sac Town....This game doesn't mean anything to us really, but it will be nice to see if the kids in my states capital can take out Timmy D and the Spurs.
Tomorrows games are a bit more important regarding the Clips..especially
Dallas @ Miami....If we win tonight we will be half game over the Mavs (so let's hope we do) and if the Mavs lose tomorrow they will be a full game behind us. Again can't stress how important home court will be in the playoffs.
Lakers @ OKC....Let's hope KD and the boys can take this one...although yes I am a Laker fan as well (Clippers number 1, Lakers number 2) I want OKC to take this so Clippers will be close to taking that coveted Pacific Division Title.
These two games tomorrow will be very fun to watch and the Miami game will be just as important to us as us winning tonight.
Nice comeback by OKC against LAL. Its kind of ridiculous how fast Westbrook is. Don't get me wrong, I'd take CP3 over him any day, but Westbrook's athleticism is crazy.
Wow, refs. Try a little harder to keep the Lakers in the game. SMH.
YES!!! Lakers lost, we 1.5 games behind them!
take it to portland and close the gap to just 1 game back and a showdown brewing next week....
Dallas lost, too. Keeping the 4 seed is very important. Good night for us Clipper fans.
yup! good night. It feels good to be alone in the 4th spot
It's ON!!!
Pacific division and season series is within touching distance. Playoff game next week!
Portland is going down tomorrow! If we do win our confidence will be at an all time high! I am so excited for tomorrows game now!
It shall be a better feeling next week when we take sole posession of first in pac.
I told one laker fan to BANK on it. he didnt believe me and just laughed...
Come on clips lets get IT done!!!!!
By the way shaq just said that clips are third best in west...well got stoped short but he was going to say clips third best chance to win the west....for whatever its worth
Memphis and Dallas losing! Let's hope it keeps up!
Yes! Grizzlies go down.
Mavs may win.... F man! Jameer chokes on free throw.

How do I know? I had an inkling. I bought an oven thermometer. I installed it. And I set the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. When the preheat light went off I opened the oven door. It read 400 cussing degrees.

Very comfortable shoes and cute, but the soles are really bad. Had to take to cobbler after 1 month.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Dissatisfied Not High Quality...
The shoe fits fine, but I am a bit disappointed as the elastic trim on the first pair I received had damaged elastic. I exchanged the first pair and then the second pair I received have loose thread near the signature logo. I definitely expected a product with higher quality and I am surprised that Tory Burch has not implemented better quality controls.

Rated 5 out of 5 by perem LOVE THIS FLAT!
This is my second pair of Carolines! Unlike the Reva's that bothered me in the back, these are my FAVORITE, GO-TO flats for work. They are comfortable, classic, and the gorgeous patent leather with smaller T logo, gives them the perfect look for work or play!
January 4, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Blondeinabmw So cute! The most comfortable Tory flats!
After trying practically all of Tory's flats over the years, I finally found a pair that fit! I'm a true 8.5 M, and these fit very true-to-size. The elastic eliminates the pinching at the top of the toes like I usually experience in the Revas, and the toe box is wider than in the Lowell flats. No rubbing or chafing at the heels either. They don't have much cushion or support, so I wouldn't want to walk a city street sightseeing all day in these, but for a day at the office, shopping or even working on my feet, they are a great, stylish option. The pink beige color is warmer than pictured online. They aren't quite nude, not quite beige, not quite pink. They work well with everything!

These are by far my favorite shoes at Tory Burch. I own 5 pairs of them. (I have wider feet and shoes like the Revas tend to hurt them.) The Carolines are incredibly comfortable and look great on no matter if I am at work or it is the weekend. I always receive lots of compliments about them!

By: Jennifer Griffin-Wiesner
The title of the post misleads: A personal value, which responsibility is, can't actually be taught like long division or the periodic table. It can be nurtured and instilled, but certainly not engrained simply through exposure; this is one of the "letting go" lessons of parenting. Read more >
There are though plenty of teachable moments to watch for and seize throughout childhood and adolescence. Every time your kid does something exceptionally responsible or highly irresponsible you have an opportunity on your hands to reinforce the choices you like and discourage those you don't.
Case in point: My eldest has one buddy with whom he conspires on ill-conceived plans. These typically lead to a last minute plea for "rescue." My son is generally a high achiever. Intellectual, emotional, and social things come easily. So it's also pretty common for us to cut him some slack. For a while last year Shop Guy and I were bailing my son out on a regular basis. Finally, one night we weren't available to take them downtown to a basketball game for which they had already purchased tickets, assuming they could find a ride. We told our son he had to work it out in a way that was okay with us, or not go. Through a series of orchestrations they eventually found an adult friend to drive. The natural consequence of the incident seems to have done its job, and we haven't faced a similar situation in months.
Certainly we should tell our children the priorities we care about most, and reinforce when we see them living these out. Then the best we can do is model, talk, listen, and continue to build other assets over the long-term. Here are five, additional, practical strategies that can help:
1. Be clear about expectations. If we do this, it means that when the time comes for negative consequences, kids understand why.
2. Enforce logical consequences. These can be very effective when the natural consequences don't work. My daughter doesn't care much how she sounds on the violin. She loves her teacher, however, and knows that she needs to take responsibility for practicing if she wants us to continue paying for lessons.
3. Ask kids what they think should happen. One day when I was 16 and furious with my dad, I took the car without asking just to get away from the house. He was livid but didn't know how to sufficiently punish me. He asked me what I thought and I grounded myself for two weeks.
4. Offer choices, but only ones you can live with. When a neighbor kid broke a window trying to bat a baseball over his house, his parents gave him the option of paying for it outright with his savings or working off the cost over time.
5. Know what motivates your kid. My son is bothered by plans that fall through or don't come together as intended. For him what happened on the night of the basketball game was enough to ensure more responsible behavior in the future. My daughter, on the other hand, is perfectly willing to put up with the drama that comes with chaos. For her, a more effective consequence would have been not being allowed to go at all.
Tell Us: How do you deal with irresponsible behavior?
If you're ready to take it a step further, I recommend the following reads on raising responsible kids:
- Parenting with Love and Logic by Foster Cline, MD and Jim Fay (a Christian focus)
- The Blessing of a Skinned Knee: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Self-Reliant Kids by Wendy Mogel
- What Kids Need to Succeed: Proven, Practical Ways to Raise Good Kids by Peter Benson, Judy Galbraith and Pamela Espeland

Computing Capacitance in a Comb Drive
Application ID: 450
Capacitive comb drives are commonly used both as actuators and position sensors. The following model focuses on position measurement. Many approaches exist for positional measurements with MEMS devices, of which capacitance measurement is the most widely used, particularly in micro-accelerometers.
In a pair of interdigitated combs the fingers of one comb do not touch those of the other comb, but slide in and out relative to each other with a variable overlap. You typically can get a rough idea of a drive's capacitance by approximating the 3D structure as multiple parallel-plate capacitors. Here a quick 3D analysis of the electrostatic field gives a capacitance value that you can combine with the parallel-plate theory to provide considerable design information. Additionally, you can use the capacitance in reduced-order electrical circuit models to simulate the electrical system as a whole.
This model illustrates how to create a geometry using the array and extrusion tools, and compute capacitances using the Electrostatics interface port boundary condition.

I don't see any textures.
Today I've read news about Adobe Flash 11.4 and get an idea to test how Pepper Flash plugin works on Linux.
Last time I tested 11.2 release and it's was completely unusual, because hardware acceleration was disabled by Adobe.
Here is topic about that on phoronix: No OpenGL for Flash Stage3D on Linux.
But today I checked latest version of Google Chrome and find that situation is completely changed.
From Stage3D now disabled in plugin, but only disabled in Google Chrome configuration by default.
There is screenshot of Unreal Engine 3 flash demo:
1920x1200 screenshot
My configuration is: Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit, AMD HD6950 1GB, FGLRX driver, Google Chrome 21.0.1180.81 with flash player 126.96.36.199.
Try this:
- Install latest Google Chrome
- Run it with "--ignore-gpu-blacklist" flag
- Open chrome://gpu-internals/ and check Stage3D status
- Serf to http://www.unrealengine.com/flash/ or any other demo
PS: For me it's even works on notebook with mobile Intel i3 and HD3000.
Performance is quite low, looks like 10-15FPS, but all textures is here and all effects working like on HD6950.
I don't see any textures.
Worked for me with radeon on HD 6550M, but really slow for such low details (just look at the fruits in the market stands).
Have you checked whether it needs s3tc or floating point textures or something like that?
Yep it's a bit slow, but before Stage3D doesn't work at all.
You can check performance here:
With 5000 cubes for me its 15 fps for webgl and 7 for Stage3D.
Just checked, S2TC (not s3tc ) is required.
Works perfectly here with GMA 4500 almost smooth fps.
you need latest Mesa, Chrome and s3tc
Hm, yeah, for me on Firefox it's still just foliage floating above an ocean. But at least it's good to know that much is supported by the r600g drivers.
It works but very slowly, pretty much slide show and I am on proprietary nvidia 295ish version.
