text: GamesBeat Major tech and gaming companies unite to purge sex offenders from online games April 5, 2012 12:52 PM Jasmine Maleficent Rea 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Major tech and game companies will join the fight to purge convicted sex offenders from online video games in Operation: Game Over, according to a report in Forbes. Eric Schneidermann, the New York state attorney general, is leading the charge to remove accounts registered by sex offenders from popular online communities. Participating companies include Microsoft, Sony, Disney, Apple, Warner Bros., Electronic Arts, and Blizzard. "We must ensure online video game systems do not become a digital playground for dangerous predators. That means doing everything possible to block sex offenders from using gaming networks as a vehicle to prey on underage victims," said Schneiderman in a statement. "I applaud all the companies participating in this first-of-its-kind initiative for taking online safety seriously and purging their networks of sex offenders. Together we are making the online community safer for our children, not allowing it to become a 21st century crime scene." New York state requires all sex offenders to register their email and online information. Even with this information, it is easy for sex offenders to assume online aliases and open new accounts. To date, Operation: Game Over has removed over 3,850 accounts belonging to offenders registered in New York. Partnering with major corporations was crucial to making this progress. "Our partnership with the Office of the New York Attorney General helps further this cause. By leveraging the online identity information all registered sex offenders are required to provide, we are able to help reduce potentially harmful situations," said Microsoft Vice President and Deputy General Counsel. "We're supportive of Attorney General Schneiderman's efforts to make the Internet, including online gaming environments like Xbox LIVE, safer for everyone." [image taken from Doubleblade]

Contagion! There are fresh worries about the spread of Europe's debt crisis. Months ago, markets were most jittery about Greece, and its second bailout. Now bigger economies are facing rising interest rates, with bond investors running scared. Spain's bond auction this morning involved 10 year bonds. The interest rate of nearly 7 percent was a 14-year high. The rate of 6.97 percent compared with 5.43 percent in the last auction Oct. 20.
Stock market futures were slightly higher this morning. Shortly before the close of trading Wednesday, the Dow Jones Index and other averages dropped sharply after Fitch ratings warned about the risk to U.S. banks from Europe's debt problems. Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs were all down more than 3.5 percent. European banks are facing funding stress, says The Wall Street Journal,
Gas prices have been falling in recent weeks, but motorists across the country will pay more to fill up during the busy Thanksgiving holiday than they did last year. Price tracker GasBuddy.com says the average cost is about 50 cents a gallon up in November 2010. Regular gas averages $3.40 a gallon, compared with nearly $4 in July. Rising U.S. oil production may keep pump prices from rising much higher, despite the recent increase in West Texas crude prices on global markets.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu may face tough questions today from House Republicans. They are investigating the $528 million federal loan received by solar panel maker Solyndra before it went bankrupt, laying off its 1,100 workers.

Harnessing two of PIMCO's strengths, the fund offers investors broad participation in commodity-linked investing, with enhanced return potential from actively managed bonds.
The fund captures the performance potential of commodities through derivative exposure to the Credit Suisse Commodity Benchmark, a broad-based index. The fund collateralizes its commodity exposure with a portfolio of high quality, short term bonds that serve as an additional source of return.
Commodities have had a positive correlation with inflation, typically appreciating when inflation spikes; they also have had low or negative correlation with stocks and bonds, which can enhance portfolio diversification. It should be noted, however, that commodities may be volatile and that diversification doesn't protect against loss.
The fund maximizes PIMCO's active management experience in commodity-linked portfolios and fixed income collateral. The management team looks to add value by avoiding the inefficiencies of passive commodity indexing and seeking out additional outperformance opportunities within commodity markets, while enhancing the return potential of the collateral portfolio.
The strategy is managed by veteran real return investors Nicholas Johnson and Greg Sharenow. A leading global commodities manager, PIMCO launched its first enhanced index strategy two decades ago and its first commodity-linked strategy in 2002.
Mr. Sharenow is an executive vice president in the Newport Beach office and a portfolio manager focusing on real assets. Prior to joining PIMCO in 2011, he was an energy trader at Hess Energy Trading, Goldman Sachs, and DE Shaw. Mr. Sharenow was previously senior energy economist at Goldman Sachs. He has 15 years of investment and financial services experience and holds bachelor's degrees in mathematical methods in the social sciences and in economics from Northwestern University.
Mr. Johnson is an executive vice president in the Newport Beach office and a portfolio manager focusing on commodities and multi-asset portfolios. He joined PIMCO in 2004 and managed the portfolio analyst group prior to joining the portfolio management team in 2007. He specializes in structural risk premiums as well as overall portfolio construction. In 2012 he co-authored "Intelligent Commodity Indexing," published by McGraw-Hill. Prior to joining PIMCO in 2004, he worked at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, developing Mars missions and new methods of autonomous navigation. He has 10 years of investment experience and holds a master's degree in financial mathematics from the University of Chicago and an undergraduate degree from California Polytechnic State University.

At this point, we in the web community need to come to terms with the fact that Safari has become the new IE. Microsoft is repentant these days, Google is pushing the web as far as it can go, and Mozilla is still being Mozilla. Apple is really the one singer in that barbershop quartet hitting all the sour notes, and it's time we start talking about it openly instead of tiptoeing around it like we're going to hurt somebody's feelings. Apple is the most valuable company in the world; they can afford to take a few punches.
The Apple Watch has been out for over two months now, and other modern smartwatches well before that. It's no longer the stuff of sci-fi to consider using your watch to play music, control your TV, or track your fitness. But these are all things that you've been able to do for a surprisingly long time - well, if you maybe lived in Japan in the '90s and didn't mind carrying around a bunch of Casio watches, that is.
I already highlighted several of these Casio classics in my Moto 360 review, but The Verge does a nice job of listing them with beautiful photos.
On Monday, the Supreme Court opted not to review a 2014 ruling on copyright law that held Google's Android operating system infringed copyrights relating to Oracle's Java platform. This is a disaster for the software industry.
Here's the problem: the digital economy depends on gadgets and software being able to communicate seamlessly. Last year's decision by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals opened the possibility that efforts to make software work together better could trigger copyright liability. The result could be more compatibility problems and less innovation.
The most disgusting and most despicable lawsuit in technology. Oracle is a horrible, horrible company.
Researchers have shown that machines are inching closer to self-learning, and perhaps even copping a little attitude.
Over at Google, a computer program using a database of movie scripts was asked again and again by researchers to define morality. It struggles to do so, and in a conversation recorded by its human engineers, becomes exasperated and ends the conversation by lashing out at its human inquisitor.
Eerie. The full paper is more interesting.
Every year we see the same promise: this is the year that Android-first development will become a reality. At the same time we see big companies like Instagram repeatedly introduce new apps that are iOS-only. Android has been able to tout more market share than iOS for quite some time, but that doesn't seem to have translated into app developers releasing Android apps at the same time as their iOS counterparts, much less Android-first. Over the past few weeks I've been talking with developers and researching why this is still the case.
A major reason not discussed in this article: the large companies - Twitter, Facebook, etc. - as well as the major technology press outlets, are all US-based, and clearly have a very US-centric view of the world (or maybe at the very least an Anglo-Saxon view). In the US, iOS and Android both sit at around ~45% market share, so it makes sense that developers working for these companies focus on iOS more than on Android, simply because iOS development tends to be an easier experience (I'm simply echoing what I hear from developers on both sides of the aisle). The same applies to the technology press.
Outside of the English-speaking countries, however, Android reigns supreme. If these companies had a more world-centric view, their Android efforts would surely improve - because as it stands right now, most major companies' Android applications lag behind their iOS counterparts considerably. Over here in The Netherlands, though, every major new local application - banks, brands, stores, etc. - are always iOS+Android on day one.
It'd be great if American companies finally started getting their acts together too. Don't assume that veteran iOS developers are automatically also good Android developers (they're not), and hire real, proper Android developers. I translate English to Dutch, and my clients would never ask me to translate, I don't know, Spanish documents into Dutch. Small indie Android developers have proven that, even if it may be a little harder, it's perfectly possible to create Android applications that are just as good as, and often even better, than their iOS counterparts.
In 2015, there's no excuse for releasing lousy, crappy Android applications. You only have yourself to blame.
Who would spend more than the cost of a PS4 on a video game console that only plays NES games? Well, who would spend thousands of dollars on a digital camera that can't autofocus? Leica shooters, of course, and people of similar persuasion might just be interested in the Analogue Nt for their gaming needs. The Nt is a modern Nintendo Entertainment System hewn from a solid block of aluminum, and retails for $499 (plus an extra $79 if you want HDMI output and hardware upscaling.)
Beautiful piece of hardware - and I love the fact that there might be a market for this. There are way more sensible options, of course, but none of them look this good.
The Clear Linux Project for Intel Architecture is a project that is building a Linux OS distribution for various cloud use cases. The goal of Clear Linux OS is to showcase the best of Intel Architecture technology, from low-level kernel features to more complex items that span across the entire operating system stack.
Don't dismiss it - Intel is doing a lot of interesting under-the-hood stuff with this one.
If you've been watching the news recently, you'll know of the huge debate in the U.S over the role of the Confederate flag in contemporary America. Many see it as a reminder of the many pre-Civil War injustices while others see it simply as a way to honor the soldiers who died for the Confederacy. Many large US companies, like Walmart and Amazon, have already banned the sale of any Confederate flag merchandise as a reaction to the recent events. Now, it appears that Apple has decided to join them by pulling many Civil War wargames from the App Store. As of the writing of this story, games like Ultimate General: Gettysburg and all the Hunted Cow Civil War games are nowhere to be found. Apple is famous for reaching for the axe rather than the scalpel when it comes to political issues (like rejecting Hunted Cow's Tank Battle 1942 for depicting Germans and Russians as enemies), so this move doesn't come as a great surprise.
While it's obvious that the Confederate flag has no place in, on, or around government buildings, it seems a bit insane to ban games (movies? Books? Comics?) that take place in the US Civil War era for showing the flag.
On a sidenote - three Apple stories in a row? What's happening?
For a long time, iOS apps have been able to open links as web views. When you tap a link in a Twitter client, an RSS reader, or a bookmark utility, it usually opens in a mini browser that doesn't leave the app, providing you with the convenience of not having to switch between Safari and the app. For years, in spite of some security concerns, this worked well and became the de-facto standard among third-party iOS apps.
With iOS 9, Apple wants this to change - and they're bringing the power of Safari to any app that wants to take advantage of it.
I took a little time out today to watch WWDC Session 511 to learn about how Safari Content Blocking will work in iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan. After an hour, I had a little concept app running. I wont really explain the technical details of how the extensions work or how to create them, that is better done by watching the WWDC Session video directly, but I will say its frightfully easy and the code I used for the blocker detailed below is at the bottom of this page.
I'm not complaining.
It is showing hidden files (that have names starting with a dot) when invoked by root and doesn't show them (as expected) when running as a normal user. This differs from what ls on Linux (the one coming from coreutils) does.
Very interesting answer. I love stuff like this.
If you pay close enough attention to these things, you've probably seen Google Play Services updating from time to time on your Android devices. If you follow the more technical side of Android, you'll know it was announced a couple of years ago to introduce new APIs and features in a way that doesn't require a firmware update. You could be forgiven for dismissing it as a dry and technical part of the OS, but in reality it's a crucially important part of the way modern Android works.
Play Services is a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because it makes the lives of developers easier and because it bypasses incompetent carriers and OEMs so that users get considerable updates. It's a curse because they're closed source - making it impossible to dig into the code. They make your device less your device, and that's always a bad thing, especially in today's world.
So much of this could be addressed if Google opened up as much of it, but that's very unlikely to happen.
On my home forum Sysnative, a user (wavly) was being assisted with a WU issue, which was going well, aside from the fact that wavly's WU kept getting disabled randomly. It was figured out eventually after using auditpol.exe and registry security auditing that the program that was responsible for disabling WU was Disable_Windowsupdate.exe, which is part of Samsung's SW Update software.
SW Update is your typical OEM updating software that will update your Samsung drivers, the bloatware that came on your Samsung machine, etc. The only difference between other OEM updating software is, Samsung's disables WU.
No matter how much work Microsoft puts into cleaning up Windows, crappy OEMs like Samsung will undo all their work.
How about that line of Surface laptops and desktops, Microsoft?
Over in Europe, things work a little differently. The carrier model still dominates, but it's just as easy to pick up unlocked, unbranded versions of Android phones big and small that work on just about any local operator (and often many not-so-local ones.)
Nice overview of the situation in Europe, but to be honest, I haven't seen any carrier-specific models in The Netherlands in years. In fact, at least on my carrier, you can unlock your phone the moment you get it (a low fee may be charged), and after 12 months, the unlock process is always free (at least for T-Mobile - I'm guessing the same applies to the other two carriers).
You can buy unlocked phones from major stores - both online and offline - everywhere, and nobody bats an eye. In fact, in the first quarter of 2014, almost half of all 'mobile connections' were SIM-only - i.e., the mobile phone contract is just the SIM card, without any "free" phone. When you do the maths, clever shopping for a SIM-only contract and an unlocked phone can be hundreds of euros cheaper in the total running time of the contract than going the traditional contract+phone route.
Coincidentally, I'm pretty sure this explains why Android is so popular here. You can get unlocked Android flagship-quality phones or last year's flagships for a few hundreds euros, whereas unlocked iPhones are two to three times as expensive. When you give consumers an honest breakdown of what a contract+phone really costs, most people will opt to save hundreds of euros.
Google Inc.'s life sciences group has created a health-tracking wristband that could be used in clinical trials and drug tests, giving researchers or physicians minute-by-minute data on how patients are faring.
The experimental device, developed within the company's Google X research division, can measure pulse, heart rhythm and skin temperature, and also environmental information like light exposure and noise levels. It won't be marketed as a consumer device, said Andy Conrad, head of the life sciences team at Google.
Like Apple's ResearchKit, I'm really glad technology companies are actively trying to help advance medical research, treatments, and so on. Technology can have a huge impact here.
A new iOS 9 feature added in beta 1 was only discovered when users attempted to update to beta 2 earlier today. This new feature will allow the operating system to intelligently delete applications if you don't have enough free space to perform a software update. Once the update is complete, the apps will automatically be reinstalled and your data will remain intact.
Clever feature. I would say 'something for Android to adopt', but then I remembered I'm an idiot.
Like all modern processors the Mega-processor is built from transistors. It's just that instead of using teeny-weeny ones integrated on a silicon chip it uses discrete individual ones like those below. Thousands of them. And loads of LEDs.
Hand-built. Insane, but also very cool.
Apple's impulsive response to Swift stands in stark contrast to their treatment of indie app developers, who have been lobbying Apple for almost seven years, requesting Apple reform policies in the App Store to no effect. In particular, Cue's use of the word "indie" can only be described as a callous slap in the face given the circumstances that indie developers have been facing.
iOS application developers are expendable, and have zero reach. Taylor Swift is unique, and has a quarter metric frickton of reach.
Do the math.
Yesterday, news broke that Google has been stealth downloading audio listeners onto every computer that runs Chrome, and transmits audio data back to Google. Effectively, this means that Google had taken itself the right to listen to every conversation in every room that runs Chrome somewhere, without any kind of consent from the people eavesdropped on. In official statements, Google shrugged off the practice with what amounts to "we can do that".
Remember how everyone used to make fun of people like Richard Stallman? Way back in 2012, we already reached the point where we had to acknolwedge Richard Stallman was right all along (useless sidenote: this is one of the three most popular OSNews articles of all time). In recent years, people have been putting stickers and tape on their laptops to cover up built-in webcams. The next step is, apparently, to rip out the built-in microphones, too. That's what you get when you entrust a major technology company with automatic updates.
If it runs software from any of the major companies, your computer isn't yours. Handle it accordingly.
After being publicly smacked down by music's biggest star, Apple is changing its tune. Late Sunday night, Apple VP Eddy Cue responded to the open letter that Taylor Swift posted earlier in the day, revealing that Apple now plans to pay artists, labels, and publishers for streams during Apple Music's three-month free trial. The premium streaming service is due to launch on June 30th.
Taylor Swift just outsmarted one of the biggest, richest, and most arrogant companies on earth. Impressive.
The fact that Apple announced this sudden tail-between-its-legs change of heart in the middle of the night (might've been late Sunday night for US - I suck at timezones), via Twitter no less, is indicative of how badly thought-out this whole Apple Music thing seems to be. The presentation during WWDC was awkward, the three month trial period heavily criticised, and now this. Curious.

Lefre and her partner are very kind and welcoming. The information provided was very detailed and accurate. They have a beautiful shy dog. I didn't spend much time at the place but I recommend it and would definitely stay again at Lefre's.
Great hosts. Lefre and Eamonn provide real hospitality and are lovely people too.
Fantastic stay and very friendly :)
As advertised and quite close to the city centre.
I really enjoyed my stay withe Lefre and her husband Eamonn. They were the perfect hosts, very accommodating and gave me advice on what to do and see in Cork. We had lovely and enjoyable conversation and they are full of stories about their travels.
The accommodations were great after a long day, the bed was so comfortable and it was nice to have a hot shower. I was even offered tea many times and a big bowl of cereal for breakfast. The house is exactly as described, 15 minutes walk from the city center. Its about a 8-10 euro cab ride, which I would recommend in the evenings. Their dog Bubbles is the sweetest pooch you will ever meet.
I really enjoyed my stay here and a big thank you to Lefre and Eamonn, it was great meeting you both!!
La pareja anfitriona son muy naturales, fácil en conversación, han viajado bastante y tienen muchas cosas de hablar. En cuando uno de los dos tenian que estar en el centro me ofrencian ser llevado lo que es todo un detaille. Conocen bien la ciudad con sus lugares y sus actividades. La casa esta en un bario muy tranquilo, bonito y limpio y ademas se encuentra muy cerca del centro (se puede hacer fácilmente a pie). La cama limpio y con colchón es cómodo. No dudaría en contactar les de nuevo para la próxima vez! Y un desayuno simple pero con todo lo que uno necesita para despertarse bien y alegre.
I received a friendly welcome from my hosts. It was great that the house was walking distance from the city centre.
Great hospitality and availability to help any needs. Great information about the City and things to do and to see

About the Host, Lefre
I live with my husband and our dog (a rough collie, who looks like Lassie) in a house one mile from the main street in Cork City Centre. We're easy going and friendly, outgoing people. I'm a lawyer and my husband is a statistician. We love travel and have done a huge amount of it together, in all kinds of off-beat destinations. We're big fans of alternative comedy (George Carlin, Stewart Lee, Billy Connolly, Bill Maher). We love good food (Cork is great for this - it's a real gourmet capital with lots of artisan producers), like going for a drink, hanging out with friends and playing cards. I love music and have recently bought myself a guitar - I played music years ago, as a kid. I'm taking some lessons and it's my ambition for this year to learn how to play it properly:)

ScaleAnimation class
Provides methods that enable you to retrieve the parameters for a scaling (growing or shrinking) animation.
public sealed class ScaleAnimation : IPropertyAnimation
The ScaleAnimation class has these types of members:
The ScaleAnimation class inherits methods from the Object class (C#/VB/C++).
The ScaleAnimation class has these properties.
|Access type
|Gets the location of the first control point for the cubic Bézier curve that describes how the scale should animate over time.
|Gets the location of the second control point for the cubic Bézier curve that describes how the scale should animate over time.
|Gets the amount of time between when the scale animation is instructed to begin and when that animation actually begins to draw.
|Gets the amount of time over which the scale animation should be performed. This does not include the delay.
|Gets the final horizontal scale factor for the object.
|Gets the final vertical scale factor for the object.
|Gets the initial horizontal scale factor for the object.
|Gets the initial vertical scale factor for the object.
|Gets the center point for the scaling animation, expressed as a point relative to the object's normal size.
|Gets the type of animation represented by this object.
The scale is a factor that is applied to the object in either the x- or y- direction. A scale value of 1.0 represents no scaling, less than 1 represents shrinking, and greater than 1 represents magnification.
The origin point of a scale represents the center point around which the scaling should take place. This point remains fixed throughout the animation; it does not animate. The origin is stated as a fraction of the object's size. For example, a NormalizedOrigin.X of 0.25 represents a point 25% of the way from the left edge to the right edge of the object. If the object is 100 pixels wide, then a NormalizedOrigin.X represents a point 25 pixels from the left edge of the object.
As an example, consider an object whose coordinate rectangle is (100, 150, 200, 300), expressed in (left, top, right, bottom) format. Suppose that the interpolated x-scale is 0.4, the interpolated y-scale is 2.0, the x-origin is 0.25, and the y-origin is 0.80.
First, convert the normalized origin values to pixels. The width of the object is 100 pixels and the x-origin is given as 0.25, which results in an x-origin of 25 pixels from the left of the object. Since the object's left coordinate is 100, the x-coordinate of the origin is 125.
Similarly, the height of the object is 150 pixels and the y-origin is 0.80, which results in a y-origin of 120 pixels from the top of the object. Since the object's top coordinate is 150, the y-coordinate of the origin is 245.
To apply the scale transform, we first translate the object by the negative of the origin, moving it to (-25, -95, 75, 55). Next, we multiply the left and right coordinates by the x-scale and the top and bottom coordinates by the y-scale, which results in (-10, -190, 30, 110). Finally, we translate the object by the origin, which results in (115, 55, 155, 300).
The InitialScaleX and InitialScaleY properties are guaranteed to be either both set or both not set. If they are not set, then the current object scale should be used as the initial value of the animation.
To obtain an instance of the ScaleAnimation class, you first obtain the collection of animations in the animation description, and then walk that array of animations to find any that are of type scale. The following examples shows this process. The effect and target parameters are assumed to have been previously assigned.
var animationDescription = new Windows.UI.Core.AnimationMetrics.AnimationDescription(effect, target); var animations = animationDescription.animations; for (var i = 0; i < animations.size; i++) { var animation = animations[i]; switch (animation.type) { case animationMetrics.PropertyAnimationType.scale: // Retrieve scale animation metrics break; case animationMetrics.PropertyAnimationType.translation: // Retrieve translation animation metrics break; case animationMetrics.PropertyAnimationType.opacity: // Retrieve scale animation metrics break; } }
The following example shows the C# version of the same code.
using Windows.UI.Core.AnimationMetrics; AnimationDescription animationDescription = new AnimationDescription(effect, target); foreach (var animation in animationDescription.Animations) { switch (animation.Type) { case PropertyAnimationType.Scale: { ScaleAnimation scale = animation as ScaleAnimation; // Retrieve scale animation metrics. } break; case PropertyAnimationType.Translation: { TranslationAnimation scale = animation as TranslationAnimation; // Retrieve translation animation metrics. } break; case PropertyAnimationType.Opacity: { OpacityAnimation opacity = animation as OpacityAnimation; // Retrieve opacity animation metrics. } break; } }

Advice to Management
Listen, this is going to be a long one. I hate to say this since I'm still here, and I know some of the things I'm suggesting will sting the people who really need the job, and to that I would say come work here if you are just looking for a paycheck but if you want to make a real impact and work with superstars stay far, far away!! Those days are over!!!
Someone said the older employees are here to vest stock options, in my case they might be right and it's also because of the friends I've made over the years who still work here. We still have some good gems and I will say the people is what makes coming here tolerable but that doesn't make me want to brag about crap, rushed, products, that we spend a great deal of man hours putting out fires on. Why? Because it's mediocre unstable garbage.
All we seem to care about is how quickly we rush a product to market and we keep making the same mistakes over and over again. So while some of the people are one of the best parts of this company it only makes me comfortable enough until I'm completely over the way this place is run like everyone else is! Wake up, S.F!
I have to be completely honest, and let prospective employees know this is not a stable environment if that is what you are looking for, if you are looking for a GAME company this is not it, games and players take the back seat to the pursuit of revenue.
A few people came back from Holiday to turn in their two weeks notice, there's been some pretty quiet layoffs here and there too over the last couple months. We've got people who were with the company since pre-acquisition taking "time away" and never coming back.
Every week people are leaving.
The interview process is a joke at best. We're given the idea that we as a team interview top candidates and if one of us says no they won't be working here, I don't know when that policy changed, (policies change on a whim here) because more and more people are joining our game teams that we never met or knew anything about but have to work with.
Now we have a lot of new hires who are very inexperienced and haven't the foggiest what they're doing and we're also absorbing people from other teams and putting them in jobs they never did before (this isn't a startup!)
We're already stretched so thin developing new features and pumping out weekly content, and then have to find time to train up people with absolutely no experience that we never had a say in bringing on board. It's taking a huge toll and frankly looks like the hiring managers just don't care and are desperate.
I don't even know why or how the San Francisco Studio still exists, it's expensive to run and we don't make hit games, or know how to make anything that isn't a direct copy of some Japanese counterpart it seems.
We have games like Marvel which is a Western I.P made by a Japanese studio in the top grossing for months,even they outclassed us on every level.
Do we really need a San Francisco based studio to basically clone Japanese hits since we can't make hits on our own? And to add fuel to the fire the clones we make aren't even hits either!!
Japan can make the games faster and more efficiently than the U.S studios at a fraction of the cost, and they're more likely to be gamers themselves, we have a lot of red tape here and a different work ethic! What were they thinking?? How is this strategy?
My advice, is first what H.Q really needs to do is pull out of S.F, and return their focus to the Japanese market because there is still opportunity there for growth, they've long lost their footing in Japan they're being outdone by newcomers no one ever heard about, they can't hope to conquer the West if they can't even dominate their own home turf anymore.
Second, start over with small agile teams. Stop dragging around a big studio that is hemorrhaging employees and money every single quarter, it's dead weight!!
We have a ton of producers and managers with SF who "always wanted to make a cool game" but they don't know how to make games! They're completely inexperienced, experimentation is o.k when you're talking about a few thousand dollars but not when a studio is taking millions to maintain! It's no wonder partners are pulling out and wondering why they should even work with us. The shareholders must be completely naive or infinitely optimistic!
Studios in Chile and Canada are cheaper to run, keep Chile especially around they have games there still making a good revenue contribution mostly transferred from other studios and if possible transfer S.F employees who are top contributors to Japan and Chile, shut down the S.F studio or keep it only for administration. We already outsource everything, so again, why do we need this studio to be building games??
I think the new Dena West CEO as a finance guy who knows nothing about games is an even worse sign, if they really cared about being pro hit games they would have brought in someone who knew about them. It's more than seedy that we didn't even have an interim CEO when the last one decided to leave for a direct competitor, obviously even he was fed up, he was one of the last remnants of the original studio, we all know one of the major reasons he was appointed in the first place was to stop pre-acquisition employees from dropping off like flies. I wish this place would just stop the politics and be up front and transparent like they claim we should be, don't talk about being a company of entrepreneurs but patronize us like we're clueless children.
If there's anything SF studio in particular is renowned for it's not knowing when to put a product out of it's misery.
The SF studio has an unproven track record since acquisition, it's a failed "experiment", it's bleeding and it's time to put it down!

- The current games are doing pretty well in the charts
- Lack of strategy and transparency! Ever since the new CEO has taken over, there has only been 1 all-hands. Management is essentially hoping that the new games are successful, but not explaining the steps we need to take to reach success.

Nordstrom Rack To Open New Thousand Oaks Store
Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. announced plans to further expand its Los Angeles-area presence with the addition of a Nordstrom Rack at Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The approximately 40,000-square-foot store is scheduled to open in fall 2015. The Rack location at Janss Marketplace is a development by Seritage Realty Trust, a division of Sears Holdings Corporation.
Nordstrom has operated a full-line store approximately one mile from the new Rack location at The Oaks since 2008.
"Our new Rack store at Janss Marketplace will be right down the street from our full-line store at The Oaks and can offer an additional way to shop for the brands our customers love at great prices," said Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack. "We are fortunate to have many customers who have been loyal to us at our Oxnard and Topanga Rack stores and hope this new location can provide a closer option for those in the Thousand Oaks community."
The new, two-story Nordstrom Rack will occupy a portion of the existing Sears location at Janss Marketplace with entrances accessible to parking on level one and to the shopping center on level two. Sears will continue to occupy an anchor position on the primary floor of the existing store.
"We are very proud to welcome Nordstrom Rack as an important co-anchor in our redevelopment of Janss Marketplace along with a fully redesigned Sears store and other high-quality retailers," said David Lukes, chief executive officer of Seritage Realty Trust. "This property represents a dominant market position and will continue to serve members and customers in the years ahead."
Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, Inc., offering customers a wide selection of on-trend apparel, accessories and shoes at an everyday savings of 30 to 70 percent off regular prices. The Rack carries merchandise from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com, as well as specially purchased items from many of the top brands sold at Nordstrom. The Rack is designed to provide the ultimate treasure hunt to style-savvy customers.

It is called a snow mouse in Norway. The Inuits credited it with great wisdom and courage. Secretive and seldom seen, the least weasel is our smallest true carnivore.
Weighing in at a couple ounces and only six or eight inches long, they don't seem like they could handle much more than a good-sized tundra vole. However, hunting is their life and they own no fear --animals four or five times their size are fair game.
My first encounter with a least weasel was when I was nine or 10. I had a live trap set for mice near our chicken coop. The morning check found a dead weasel in with the mice. He was half the size of any ermine I had ever caught on my trap line and had no black tip on his tail. I hurried with him to the house, but Dad couldn't tell me much about him. I found little in my mammal book either (remember, this is 40 years ago).
I was a budding taxidermist, so I carefully skinned and mounted him. In the process I discovered he was a she. I had that mount for about 30 years. I think one of my dogs finally ate it.
The females are tinier than the males. Some barely weigh an ounce. Their smaller size allows them to hunt differently than males, accessing smaller holes. They are also less vulnerable to predation from other larger weasel species for the same reason.
Predation accounts for most of these small animals' mortality. In Alaska, horned owls, red fox and marten all eat weasels. Interestingly, they may be more susceptible because of the lack of a black tip, or "predator deflection mark," on their tail.
A huge percentage of the young die before adulthood. Seldom does an adult live beyond three years, though in captivity some may survive 10.
Young are born in early summer after a gestation period of just over a month. The young are born blind, deaf and hairless. That grow quickly and are weaned in three weeks. They are hunting at eight weeks, usually in a gang with their mother. (Good thing they aren't the size of wolves.) That is the last time you ever get a chance to see them in a group, because by 10 weeks they are on their own and quite solitary.
Least weasels are found over most of the world, though they avoid sandy deserts and heavy forests. Their preferred habitat is the margin of timberline and open tundra.
Though a very common predator, we seldom see them. Much of their hunting is done underground or under the snow. Occasionally we get to see a tiny white streak dash across the road in the headlights. They are not truly nocturnal, though they are certainly more active at night.
These tiny carnivores eat a third of the their body weight every 24 hours, so they are constantly on the move. Their heart rate is between 300 to 400 beats per minute.
They will kill far more than they can eat. They cache the excess, but rarely return to eat it. True hunters, they want it fresh. Voles and mice are the preferred prey. They seldom take birds or eggs, but personally I doubt they pass up any easy meals. Young rabbits are a favorite target in the spring and some berries are utilized in season.
I watched one eating frozen blueberries late one fall. He seemed to make a face every time he pulled a berry from the bush. We had little snow that fall and voles were scarce, so the berries were likely a necessity rather than a choice.
The low snow cover this season and the relatively hard freezes are again going to make things difficult for our smallest predators. I have seen several this fall crossing highway and one has moved into a vacant cabin at our summer business.
Least weasels seem more curious and calmer than the larger weasel species. S eldom do they challenge; rather, they investigate and continue on their way. I welcome them because when they move in, I can put the mouse traps away for the season.

Top areas in Chicago (IL)
Chicago (IL)
Chicago represents everything that's right about the American metropolis. It blends world-class infrastructure with home-grown values in a high-energy setting, adding thriving financial, cultural and entertainment sectors. Whether viewed from the top of the Sears Tower or worked out in the street-level blues clubs, Chicago inspires visitors to clear their schedules, stay longer and return again as soon as possible. From the moment tourists touch down at Chicago Midway International Airport, they're overwhelmed with things to do.
Lake Michigan fronts the Chicago skyline, with Michigan Avenue hugging its shore. Chicago hosts a booming convention industry, so there are plenty of hotels near Chicago city center. Rates actually go down over the weekend as conventioneers head home.
The scope of attractions in this city is daunting, and while it's impossible to see everything in one visit, there are a few highlights that shouldn't be missed. Chicago's museums are among these, especially the Museum of Science and Industry, the Field Museum and the Chicago Art Museum. The world's first steel-and-concrete skyscraper rose over the Chicago skyline in the 19th century, and many visitors consider a trip to the top of the Sears Tower – Chicago's tallest building – a must.
In the evening, attention shifts to the affluent neighborhoods of the North Side, where boutique accommodation in Chicago is at its best. Chicago is a bastion of blues and jazz, and some of the best clubs are here in the North Side. Diehard fans of blues will want to time their visit with the annual Chicago Blues Festival (June). Just be sure to book well in advance.

I've noticed at night, the theme will switch from the normal bright and blue theme to the darkside theme when on 'Auto'. I like this, I think it is awesome! My biggest issue with it however is that it takes a considerable amount of time for it to do this, I'd say about 3 seconds or so after the page viewable. This is rather disorienting to my eyes to go from a very bright screen to a very dark one like that at night.
Would love to see this fixed whenever someone has the chance. If it helps, I run Windows 8.1 Update 1 64-bit with IE11.

There are a lot of disappointed reviews on here that the tool didn't work as they had hoped. This is a very high quality tool that works quite well for what it is. This isn't going to work on blemishes where the whitehead hasn't come up to the surface and isn't going to magically extract all blackheads if you don't take the time to properly steam your face and slowly work your skin.
That being said, I have still found that the shape of the narrower rounded side could be improved for maximum extraction. I can't ever seem to find a good angle for it to be effective. I prefer the flatter side for both whiteheads and blackheads as I feel it is more gentle and effective.
BE SURE TO STERILIZE BETWEEN USES!! I keep cotton balls and rubbing alcohol nearby to clean between each press on the skin. If I am able to pop a rather large blemish I will use the rubbing alcohol to gently dab the skin as well to disinfect. So far I have not experienced any redness after the fact except for the 20 minutes or so immediately after use.
I'm the quintessential example of a picker -- and although we all know its a bad habit I cant help it. I use this tool as soon as I get out of the shower if I have any blackheads or whiteheads and it leaves zero scaring or marks. The worst part is a slight indent from the tool but it fades pretty quickly.5
I have never seen one of these tools until I saw someone use it in a YouTube video. I get a ton of blackheads and this really helps me get them, I love this tool, it's kind of gross but let's be real, blackheads are gross. Definitely better then using bare hands.5

the tele arton will probably not fit the pressman d due to its large rear element.
The 10 inch tele raptar/optar will work fine.
Other lenses that will fit:
210mm convertible symmar
210mm sironar
**the 210mm symmar-s will not fit, as the rear element too large.
210mm g-claron
240mm g-claron <-reccomended
8" or 10" dagor should be fine if in a rapax shutter or ilex #3.(i think)
Also beware of wide lenses, the f8 90mm super angulon will barely fit, you can kinda angle the rear element in.
But a f5.6 or f4.5 90mm wide will be way too big.

Comments about Blueridge Contemporary Series BR-60 Adirondack Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
After a 20+ year hiatus, I was looking for a nice guitar. Having owned mostly Gibson guitars in the past, I was looking at Gibson and Martin guitars when I happened to play this little jewel. From the first chord the sound was incredible. The sound of this guitar rivals or exceeds the sound from ones costing twice as much or more. The fit and finish is flawless. The Adirondack spruce top,rosewood back and sides and pre-war forward X bracing makes this guitar one of the best sounding guitars I have ever played. For the price you will be hard pressed to find a better sounding or better looking guitar.
Comments about Blueridge Contemporary Series BR-60 Adirondack Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
i bought this guitar in march of 09' and ever since i have only played/heard one acoustic guitar that has made me second guess my Blueridge's tone and that was the GIBSON Hummingbird of which' price towers over the price on this particular guitar. If you have the cash and are considering this instrument, BUY IT! You won't be disappointed. the tone on this guitar with a set of new john pearse 12-gauge strings on it is nothing short of heavenly.

Wanted to share some more of my little models again! I have one pictured next to a pop can, she has not been painted yet but shows their size! I just love making these. I'm pretty happy with the outcome.
I've been getting a few orders for them now, they are turning out to be a nice memorial model for people that have lost their horses or dogs.
Just wanted to share!
The rearing blue roan I did just for fun to see how I could do on roans and I think it turned out perfect. I think they have a cute whimsical look to them (thats what i'm going for)
If anyone would be interested in having one made for them. I would love to make some for someone, If anyone would be interested!
