The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) provides valuable stewardship and guide-rails for projects interested in attracting the broadest community of involvement as possible, especially across a wide range of vendors and end users. While the ASF's role is not about guaranteeing wild success for every project, they do a great job of providing a place where the broadest community of people, ideas, and code can come together and raise an elephant, so to speak.
These sentiments were expressed quite nicely in an article by Andy Oliver:
Hadoop is everything an Apache project should be: a community of rival companies, an increasing activity level, and an increasing number of committers…This is Apache at its very finest. It will be messy and there will be kerfuffles, but how else and where else could this happen? Where else could Hadoop be both open source and inaugurate the next stage of the InterWebs? In some ways Hadoop is in fact the successor to the Apache Web Server — or maybe the realization of what it started.
One of the remarkable aspects of open source development under the stewardship of the ASF is the absolute transparency of it all. Want to know how many lines of code have been contributed to a project? Or which committers are contributing to a particular project? It's all there…in the open.
With that in mind, a recent blog post caught our eye from a Hadoop contributor from Japan (thank you @ajis_ka) who wrote a simple query and produced a handful of graphs identifying some of the interesting trends regarding development within the Apache Hadoop project.
While not surprising, the post drew a couple of key conclusions:
Figure 2 below illustrates how the YARN-based architecture of Hadoop 2 worked its way into the project over the course of 2011 through 2013. YARN underpins Hadoop 2's fundamental new architecture for supporting workloads that span batch, interactive, and real-time use cases. While the amount of changes to the Hadoop codebase stabilized in 2013, figure 3 shows that significant net-new features were added and completed in 2013 (such as HDFS Snapshots and High Availability), which explains the increase of 260,000+ lines of code versus prior years and demonstrates the ongoing innovation happening within the project.
What's even more interesting than the absolute lines of code contributed is the increase in diversity of organizations contributing to Apache Hadoop between 2012 and 2013 as illustrated in the next two charts from the blog post.
The diversification of contributions between 2012 and 2013 are illustrative of the fact that the framework for community collaboration provided by the Apache Software Foundation is working quite well for the Apache Hadoop project, as Andy Oliver's article mentioned above implied.
We are obviously proud of our contributions to the Apache Hadoop project and we plan to continue to catalyze and energize this amazing community with your help.
And thanks again to @ajis_ka for sharing the analysis.

Multitasking screws don't need a pilot hole
Few screws bore their own pilot holes, and those that do usually have a pan or hex head that stands proud of the wood surface. Quickscrews' Spiral-Point Funnel-Head screws not only bore a pilot hole with a self-tapping point, but they also have flat heads (with square-drive sockets) that also make their own counterbores. And they do this without splitting the wood! Available in #8 (1"-3" lengths) and #10 (3 1/2"-4") sizes, these screws sell in packs ranging from 25 to 1,000 screws.

Holy See
Note: The Holy See is the universal government of the Catholic Church and operates from the Vatican City State, a sovereign, independent territory of 0.44 square kilometers (0.17 square miles). The Pope is the ruler of both the Vatican City State and the Holy See. The Holy See, as the supreme body of government of the Catholic Church, is a sovereign juridical entity under international law.
Geography and People
Area: Total of 0.44 sq. km. (109 acres).
Population (July 2009 est.): 826 (citizens and non-citizens). Citizens: 546 (467 of which are resident).
Ethnic groups: Italian, Swiss, other.
Religion: Roman Catholic.
Languages: Italian, Latin, French, various others.
Literacy: 100%.
Work force: 3,000 lay workers (reside outside the Vatican).
Type: Papacy; ecclesiastical, governmental, and administrative capital of the Roman Catholic Church.
Independence: Sovereign entity since medieval times (Lateran Pacts creating the Vatican City State and confirming independence and sovereignty of the Holy See signed with Italy on February 11, 1929).
Suffrage: Limited to Cardinals less than 80 years old.
Budget: Revenues (2008) $351.4 million; expenditures (2008) $352.6 million.
Industries: Worldwide banking and financial activities; printing; production of coins, medals, postage stamps, a small amount of mosaics, and staff uniforms. This unique, noncommercial economy is also supported financially by contributions (known as Peter's Pence) from Roman Catholics throughout the world, the sale of postage stamps and tourist mementos, fees from admissions to museums, and the sale of publications. The incomes and living standards of lay workers are comparable to, or somewhat better than, those of counterparts who work in the city of Rome.
Almost all of Vatican City's citizens live inside the Vatican's walls. The Vatican includes high-ranking dignitaries, priests, nuns, and guards as well as about 3,000 lay workers who comprise the majority of the work force.
The Holy See's diplomatic history began in the fourth century, but the boundaries of the papacy's temporal power have shifted over the centuries. From the 8th century through the middle of the 19th century, the Popes held sway over the Papal States, which included a broad band of territory across central Italy. In 1860, after prolonged civil and regional unrest, Victor Emmanuel's army seized the Papal States, leaving only Rome and surrounding coastal regions under papal control.
In 1870, Victor Emmanuel captured Rome itself and declared it the new capital of Italy, ending papal claims to temporal power. Pope Pius IX and his successors disputed the legitimacy of these acts and proclaimed themselves to be "prisoners" in the Vatican. Finally, in 1929, the Italian Government and the Holy See signed three agreements resolving the dispute:

Oklahoma artist creates Midwestern vigilante with 'Hooligan'
Tulsa comic-book artist Dustin Evans has launched a new comic-book series, "Hooligan." The first issue of the digital comic, published by Viper Comics, is available on iTunes and Amazon.com.
"'Hooligan' is a Midwestern, antihero, sci-fi epic with a dash of horror," Evans said in an email interview. "I jokingly call Hooligan a Midwestern Batman, but that's actually pretty accurate. It's a story of a real person that has no super powers."
Hooligan is actually Rex, a father and husband who is struggling to keep his farm afloat during the current economic turmoil.
"When something strange begins happening in his hometown, and everything precious to him is threatened, Rex takes matters into his own hands with vigilante justice with a persona that becomes known as 'Hooligan,'" Evans said.
Kansas-based writer C. Michael Hall ("Helldorado"), one of the founding partners of Ape Entertainment, brings his talents to the book, as well. He was originally approached by Evans as a possible letterer for the comic.
"All I had at the time were concepts and the basic scenario for Hooligan," Evans said. "When Mike saw what I had, he asked if he could write the Hooligan comic books as well as letter them. I immediately jumped at the chance to have Mike at the literary helm."
Hall and Evans first teamed up in 2004 on the Ape Entertainment all ages book, "Go-Go Gorilla and the Jungle Crew." "Hooligan," however, is much darker in tone.
"With 'Hooligan' we are definitely going after a more mature crowd," Evans said. "If you like comic books like 'Spawn' and 'Sin City' ... this is your kind of comic book."
Evans and Hall plan to make Hooligan especially appeal to those in the middle of the country.
"My biggest inspiration and driving force behind making Hooligan was to give the Midwest and Southern area their own comic book hero," Evans said. "New York has Spider-Man. Gotham has Batman ... so we need a hero too. Plus, as anyone in 'our neck of the woods' will tell you, a dark and empty stretch of road in the South is every bit as scary as a dark alley in New York."
The first "Hooligan" arc is three issues. The first issue is available now; the second issue is set for November, and the third in December.
"After the comics are released, ideally I would like to get Hooligan made into a movie, and I would really like for it to be made right here in Oklahoma," Evans said. "As long as people keep buying 'Hooligan' comics, we will keep making them."
Evans will be promoting "Hooligan" at upcoming conventions in the area, including Wizard World Austin in Austin, Texas, on Oct. 26-28 and OafCon in Oklahoma City on Nov. 10-11. For more information about "Hooligan," visit www.hooligancomic.com or www.vipercomics.com.

Styling Tip
Step 1: Distribute a dollop of mousse onto damp hair. Blow dry two-inch sections with a round brush while turning the brush several times to add subtle roundness to the length.
Step 2: Spritz a two-inch section with styling spray and starting a few inches away from scalp, loosely wrap it around a large curling iron. Hold for a few seconds and then release and repeat, alternating directions until all hair is wavy.
Step 3: Run your fingers through your hair to break up the sections. Mist with hairspray for all-day hold.

The O2 Pursuit is an Air-Powered Motorcycle that Can Travel 62 Miles on a Single Charge
Posted By Charley Cameron On November 5, 2012 @ 5:07 pm In Environment,Green Transportation,Innovation,News,Renewable Energy | 2 Comments
Developed by Dean Benstead [2], a graduate RMIT University [3] in Melbourne, the O2 Pursuit is a pretty extraordinary bike. With a range of about 62 miles per 'tank' and top speeds of 87 mph, the modified Yamaha WR250R is powered entirely by compressed air. A canister with a compression of 3000 PSI, the same as those used by scuba divers, appears to power the bike as effectively as many electric motors—and Benstead's technology has been nominated for a James Dyson Award [4].
As to exactly how Benstead's motorcycle works, Fast Co.Exist explains [5] that the frame is rigged with a "a compressed-air engine built by an Australian company called Engineair, and a standard scuba diving tank (that's right). Demonstrating in this clip, Benstead opens the tank, rings the throttle letting air into a heat exchange unit, and from there to the Di Pietro engine."
The RMIT graduate isn't the only one experimenting with this technology; multiple companies have been working on air-powered car tech for years [6]. The most prominent recent case—the AirPod by Tata—chugs along at a maximum speed of 47 mph, but the manufacturers believe that the cleaner-tech car could revolutionize India's streets.
There is, as Fast Co.Exist [5] and Grist [7] point out, a fairly major pitfall to the idea of air-powered bikes as a sustainable future for transport: It takes a certain amount of power to compress air as densely as is necessary for scuba diving or, say, bike-propelling—and there's no current functional infrastructure for charging a compressed air.

My two cents - for what it's worth ... first, we all understand the purpose of this forum, but like in 3D conversations, sometimes the topics veer.

Is adult breastfeeding (breastfeeding post weaning for prolonged period) safe?
I want to know if there are any adverse side effect of breastfeeding on wife long after our child has been weaned off the breastfeeding. Due to frequent sucking of breasts that we have indulged in, breasts have continued to produce milk in small quantity but we are unsure if this causes other issues. I have below specific questions 1. Is this safe and how widely is this practiced? 2. Must the milk be expressed from breasts regularly to avoid infection? What happens if milk remains in there as it is not ?regular breastfeeding?? 3. How long this can go on safely? Would a prolonged breastfeeding without pregnancy over years cause issues?

Breastfeeding actually reduces your risk of breast cancer! The only "effects" of long term breastfeeding are cosmetic related; but no medical harm from breastfeeding. Only good for you and your baby!posted 03/05/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I can't imagine it would cause any problems. Many children around the world nurse up to 7 years old and even beyond, and if mom has another baby in there somewhere, she's producing milk for many years at a time. It's fine. As for how widely practiced, no way to tell. I'd bet more than people will admit. My assumption (though no way to tell for sure) is that there isn't enough milk to cause infection if it's not removed. If she's uncomfortable, it's perfectly OK to hand express a little milk. But if it's a low enough amount, it will simply be reabsorbed into the body at some point.posted 03/05/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

By Liz Reyer
(MCT)—QUESTION: I recently took a new job; it has proved to be a very sarcastic work environment that makes me uncomfortable. How can I be heard without adopting that behavior, and at least get my team to change its culture?
ANSWER: Look for ways to help turn around the environment, while remaining true to yourself and avoiding a toxic work environment.
Breathe. Let go of the anxiety and stress that results from a negative environment, and let yourself settle into a positive state of mind. Find a quiet place to sit or a pleasant place to walk. As you focus on your breathing, feel calmness flow through you. Notice how you feel so that you can tap into this feeling when the stress builds up again.
Consider where the sarcastic tone starts—is it top-down? If senior leaders are setting a negative tone, it'll be deeply embedded and hard to change in your department. But if it's more specific to your team, you may have a better chance. Think about reasons that they're behaving this way, whether it's widespread dissatisfaction that could be addressed, or a negative person or two who has undue influence.

Groton - Groton is bracing for a loss of more than $2 million from its tax rolls with news that Pfizer plans to demolish its former research headquarters, known as Building 118.
Just when that will happen remains unknown and depends on how quickly the pharmaceutical giant can acquire a demolition permit and get to the work of tearing down the 750,000-square-foot complex off Eastern Point Road.
Pfizer says that will happen in the next few months, despite what is typically a lengthy process to prepare the site and assure building officials that all of the necessary building codes are met and safety measures are in place.
Carlton M. Smith, the zoning and building official for the City of Groton, said Pfizer has not yet applied for a demolition permit.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, however, did approve a coastal site plan review for Pfizer in September, a precursor for the permit that is required because a portion of the complex falls within 1,000 feet of the Thames River. The coastal site plan contained things such as erosion control and other measures to protect the coastline during demolition.
Smith said that Pfizer must follow relevant state building codes. The demolition plans will be reviewed both by his office and by the fire marshal's office.
By the time the permit is issued, Smith said, an applicant would have worked out plans for things such as shutting off utilities and asbestos mitigation, if needed. In Pfizer's case, Smith said, that would include, for example, a plan showing how it would separate the walking bridges connecting sections of Building 118 to other Pfizer buildings.
The disconnection of utilities itself, he said, would be a large project considering "this is on a much larger scale than a single-family home." Safety inspections also would have to be performed during the process.
Town Manager Mark Oefinger said Pfizer notified town officials at the beginning of the year that they were seeking demolition contractors. He believed at the time, and still holds out hope, he said, that there has been enough interest in the complex to delay Pfizer's plans.
Oefinger said he doesn't expect an immediate loss of tax revenue and thinks it unlikely that the building will be completely gone by year's end. Since assessments for next year's grand list are completed by Oct. 1, Oefinger said, he expects the impact will come in fiscal year 2015.
The same is the case in the city, which will suffer an estimated $500,000 tax loss, according to Mayor Marian Galbraith.
Pfizer was a factor in the drop in the 2012 grand list, which dipped by 1.3 percent from 2011. Most of the grand list loss was attributed to the $46.7 million drop in personal property values, Pfizer's included, he said.
Pfizer, however, remains far and away the town's largest taxpayer with a total net assessment of $550 million. Electric Boat, the second-highest taxpayer, was assessed at $214.3 million, and Ledges Apartments came in third with a $21.4 million in assessed value.
Oefinger said it may be that Pfizer continues to pull personal property from the building, which will mean tax revenue losses. He said the last time he was at the facility, about a month ago, there still were staff on site.
Town records show the Building 118 complex of seven interconnected buildings is valued at $123.7 million, with an assessed value of $86.6 million.
Despite the sting of Wednesday's announcement, made doubly painful because there was an interested buyer, Oefinger said he understands it must costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to maintain the complex.
"This doesn't make any sense from an economic development perspective, but at the end of the day, it is Pfizer's building," Oefinger said. "For whatever reason, the cord has been pulled."
With the time it will take to line up the permits to start demolition, "Why not go back to the table?" Galbraith asked.
"I still hope they'll reconsider. We have a legitimate developer that hasn't walked away," she said. "They are not just eliminating a building, they're eliminating a opportunity for this region."

Cheddar-cheese prices climbed to a record as shipments to China jumped, pacing a surge in exports that has reduced supplies for domestic consumers.
Spot wholesale 40-pound blocks of cheese climbed 0.5 percent to $2.36 a pound Friday on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the highest since the data began in 1997. U.S. exports in January climbed 46 percent from a year earlier to 32,118 metric tons, as Chinese purchases doubled, according to the Dairy Export Council.
Wholesale prices have jumped 18 percent this year, signaling higher costs for consumers and restaurants such as Domino's Pizza.
World food prices in February posted the biggest gain in 19 months, and dairy costs reached a record, the United Nations said March 6.

A rise in global demand comes as a drought threatens output in California, the nation's top producer, and New Zealand diverts milk production to other dairy products.
"Rising Chinese demand for dry-milk products from New Zealand curtailed cheese production and boosted demand for U.S. supplies," said Dave Kurzawski, a senior broker for FCStone in Chicago. "People had whittled down inventories looking for rising production in New Zealand to slow exports. Demand simply exceeded the gains in production."
Class III milk futures, tracking a variety used to make cheese, climbed 0.5 percent to $23.29 for 100 pounds Friday in Chicago after reaching an all-time high of $23.43 on Jan. 31.
The cost of cheese is "certainly higher" than expected, said Michael Lawton, chief financial officer of Domino's. So far, the gain "has not affected our prices."
Record meat and dairy prices are increasing costs as competition among fast-food restaurants grows.
Quiznos, the toasted-sandwich chain, filed for bankruptcy Friday, four days after pizza chain Sbarro sought protection from creditors.
"The rise in wholesale prices has yet to be fully reflected at the consumer level," Kurzawski said.

Doing Home Works: Extended Exhibitions, Ethnographic Tools, and the Role of the Researcher
Nelund, Sidsel, Critical Arts
Since Hal Foster introduced 'the ethnographic turn of contemporary art' in the mid-1990s, the exchange between contemporary art and ethnography has continued to expand. Much of the debate considers the artistic incorporations of ethnography, but little has been discussed about the ethnographic practices of art researchers. The latter's relevance derives from current changes in the art world. Art objects and exhibition formats take new shapes and circulate internationally, creating situations of translocality in contemporary art. This inevitably raises a crucial ethnographic question: How can one engage thoroughly with artworks and exhibitions from different cultural contexts, without losing the complexity of the local discourses inherent in them? This article answers that question by drawing on three ethnographic tools: 1) the multi-sited ethnographic approach (George Marcus); 2) the pairing of aesthetic analysis of artworks and ethnographic fieldwork (Georgina Born); and 3) the use of generative ethnographic stories as a writing tool (Helen Verran). The latter two, especially, are then employed in analysing the Beirut-based extended exhibition, 'Home Works: A Forum on Cultural Practices'. The analysis shows that adding ethnographic tools to the aesthetic analysis of international exhibitions allows for the complexity of local discourses, enhances attentive art writing, and urges engaged art research.
Keywords: ethnographic method, exhibition studies, global contemporary art, knowledge production, translocality
Ethnographic story 1: Missing objects
Waiting in the bright sunlight on the stairs outside of the National Museum of Beirut, we realised that the museum would remain closed for the day. The tour guides informed us that the guided tour, Other than Someone, There Was No One, part of the Home Works Forum 5programme, would take place in the backyard of the museum. We went through a small gate of the fence to the right and passed decaying marble sculptures and bushes until we reached the back and sat down on blue plastic containers scattered around on the grass. Some formed a circle, some sat leaning against the thick limestone wall of the museum. The introduction and discussion began. Writer Ashkan Sepahvand was the tour guide, together with a guide from the museum. Sepahvand talked about the objects of the museum that were the main topic of the tour--objects from different empires with different cultural influences dating thousands of years back, like containers of history. But what history and how? Lebanese history had always been influenced by passing cultural streams, but sitting in the garden, shielded from the objects, the museum itself, a result of a Western tradition of displaying culture, turned into an object--an object marked by history in tangible ways. Situated on the green line that divided Beirut during the civil war from 1975-1990, it suffered from severe gunfights, bombings and flooding, and today is still not fully restored.
A situation of translocality
Beginning with this short ethnographic story about Ashkan Sepahvand's Other than Someone, There Was No One, I wish to emphasise three of the challenges I see art researchers facing today when they work with global contemporary art: the character of the artwork, the format of exhibitions, and how these form part of a broader translocal dynamic of the circulation of objects, people, ideas and goods (Freitag and von Oppen 2010: 1-21). First, Sepahvand's artwork is a guided tour consisting of different parts, such as the script of the tour, a booklet with fictional dialogue based on research in Beirut, and the discussion with the audience. The art object is thus a set of discursive relations that requires participation on behalf of the researcher. Second, the event in which Sepahvand's tour partakes, 'Home Works Forum', takes place in several venues simultaneously, in different areas of Beirut. …

Brothers to open first brewery in Rutland CountyBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | November 05,2012
BRANDON — Brothers Patrick and Daniel Foley have specialized in making local red wine at their family-owned winery since 2008, but later on this month, they will start selling home-brewed beer as well.
"I have been brewing for four or five years," Daniel Foley said. "I started off with small batches and recently stepped it up."
The brothers started Foley Brothers Brewery, an expansion to the Neshobe River Winery their family has owned for the last four years. Once it opens later this month, it will be the first brewery in Rutland County.
"The Vermont Brewer Association told us that," Patrick Foley said. "We are kind of stoked about that."
He said one of the biggest motivators to wanting to start a brewery was the fact that they can brew every day.
It is something that does not happen while making wine.
"When you make wine, it's a couple of months," he said. "Traveling to other breweries, we saw that they are brewing every day."
To start they are offering two types of beers – the Ginger Wheat and Brown Ale – which will be available first wholesale in 22-ounce bottles.

This food blogging business has awakened many culinary interests that I always had but had never really put all the spirit into. Tracking down specific ingredients or deciding to finally make a recipe dog-eared years ago has me eating many elaborate dishes that I never took the time to do before. Collateral damage of the best kind. After all, who better than I to be the recipient of all the good stuff right? I think so too.
An average week now includes five or six unexpected meals or sweets or breads that never saw the light of day before. Yesterday I found lamb. My across-the-street supermarket doesn't usually carry it, so of course I took it home. It was part of a leg of lamb that had been cut into rounds. Like steaks. Perfect.
During two years, I took cooking classes with the most adorable and amazing teacher. She taught mainly French cooking. It was a relaxed once a week affair where she and her staff demonstrated how to cook the recipes for that day and, after they were done, we all tasted every dish. A late afternoon spent with great food and other food lovers. I still ache for those moments sometimes. Great memories.
One night they did a 5 hour leg of lamb braised in red wine. It was so good. I never forgot about it.
Since I couldn't find the recipe; I remembered another similar one I had marked and set out to do it. It was different. And I adapted it a bit to what I had, and to the fact that my leg (the lamb not me) wasn't whole.
I used 20 garlic cloves, the orange peel and white wine I already had, cut the time to 3 hours and cooked it on the stove with a barely there flame; by that time I could cut the meat with a spoon.
I left it overnight and ate it today. I spooned off the fat that had solidified and reheated it. Succulent pieces of melt-in-your-mouth lamb bathed in a garlicky syrup. I roasted some carrots and butternut squash and sprinkled it with parsley.
Very saint patrick-y.
originally from Paula Wolfert via The Best American Recipes 2001-2002, by F. McCullough
Note: I wrote down the exact recipe in case you buy a whole leg of lamb. Ideal for a dinner party since it can be made in advance.
Serves 6.
3 ½ quarts water
1 5-pound (2,3kg) whole leg of lamb, without the shank
2 Tbs vegetable oil, goose fat or duck fat
5 dozen plump garlic cloves, peeled
3 Tbs cognac
1 ¼ cups sweet wine, such as orange Muscat or 1 ¼ cups Riesling with a strip of orange peel
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 8 hours before serving, fill a 6- or 7-quart enameled cast-iron casserole with the water and bring to a rolling boil. Carefully add the leg of lamb and boil for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200ºF/95ºC.
Remove lamb and drain on kitchen towels. Discard the water. Heat the oil or fat in the casserole over medium heat until sizzling. Add the lamb and cook until golden brown on all sides. Tilt the casserole and use a bulb baster to remove some of the fat. Add the garlic and cognac and, when heated, ignite. Be sure to avert your face; the flame is huge. When the flames die out, add the wine, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover the pot with crumpled wet parchment paper or foil and a tight-fitting lid and set in the oven to cook for 6 or 7 hours, turning the leg once midway.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it stand, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Skim off all the fat and reheat gently just before serving.

ADHD And Your Immune System: IgG Antibodies Make A Difference
The more we explore everyday ADHD treatment disappointments, the more we see significant confusion and missed diagnosis with psych med failures secondary to overlooking IgG antibody data, the "chronic antibody." Antibodies attack those foreign invaders – viruses, bacteria, and offending foods, and ADHD medications become less predictable.
IgG allergic reactions and IgG antibody proliferations simply don't arise on most medical radars. And with ADHD medication challenges they are too frequently missed. The immune system remains chronically corrupted for years. I've had allergists tell my patients IgG antibodies simply don't matter.
That's not the evidence we see in the office when these IgG antibodies are measured and corrected.
Acute Reactions
IgE [think: E = Emergency] is the most frequently tested food antibody – sought out when the allergists are looking for an acute response to an invader trying to get through your barriers [e.g. skin, lungs, bowels].
Chronic IgG Antibody Reactions, Chronic Allergic Reactions Matter
IgG [think:G = Grave], on the other hand, is the most overlooked food antibody, the night-time carrier pigeon that reveals underlying allergens at play in the unsuspecting victim through years of few or no physical symptoms secondary to stealth food allergens. IgE may indicate obvious medication reactions, IgG antibody messengers aren't so obvious, and yet your immune system can suffer for years behind the scenes with IgG antibodies .
IgG antibody reactions to stealth food invaders most often fly below your searching affect-sensory, pain-sensory, and thinking-sensory radar. If IgG is at play backstage, reacting to antigens that are corrupting your ADHD brain system [like casein and gluten], including your neurotransmitters and your hormones, – both feeling and thinking can become significantly unbalanced. Cytokines have a field day and over time the feeling-good party is over. Cytokines compete at neurotransmitter receptor sites, and significantly corrupt neurotransmission.
Symptom Recognition
If you can't see or feel it it must not be a problem?? I don't think so. Quite conspicuously, the bowel has few nerve endings, as often seen in Bowel CA presentations, – so one can have a significant problem and for years remain unaware of the downstream effects.
From Great Plains Laboratory comes this explanation:
Example of a Typical IgE Antibody Response:
– Suppose a person with a peanut allergy eats a peanut. B cells in the body are exposed to the peanut allergens. B cells begin making IgE antibodies to fight the peanut "infection". These IgE antibodies were made specifically for defending the body against peanuts. The IgE antibodies bind to the peanut molecules or allergens in the body. Peanut allergies like this are often acute, and can be life threatening.
Then Consider IgG Food Antibodies
Next, we will discuss the role of IgG antibodies in an allergic reaction. The antibodies that provide long term resistance to infections, called Immunoglobulin G (the IgG antibody), have a much longer half life than the traditional IgE allergy. Symptoms, ranging from headache and nausea to seizure and hyperactivity, may occur hours or even days after the offending food has been ingested. The degree and severity of symptoms vary because of the genetic makeup of the individual. The complete elimination of IgG positive foods may bring about important improvements in symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, autism, ADHD, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and epilepsy as demonstrated in numerous clinical studies.
IgG Antibody Causes
What are the main causes of IgG antibody reactions – or "delayed food allergies?"
Digestive problems play a major role in the development of IgG food allergies. Some individuals have leaky guts, meaning that food particles are able to enter the bloodstream. When these particles are recognized by the immune system the body has an immune response. More antibodies are created to fight the perceived infection of the foreign food particles. This can lead to a weakening of the overworked immune system.
IgG food allergies are treated by removing problem foods from the diet and by helping digestion with probiotics. IgG antibody reactions are easily measured with a simple blood test.
In quick summary these issues, my friends, are a significant problem, see everyday in our offices – and if not understood, then not considered or tested, the corruption can go on for a lifetime.
If you are already thinking about these matters take your thoughts to this next step regarding returning to eat that offending antigen:
Interesting notes, more IgG exploration will prove useful in almost every refractory ADHD presentation,

Dear Amy: I recently entered into a relationship with a married man. At first I was OK with it because I believed his explanation of why he's still married — immigration purposes.
We have had some great times that are filled with activities we enjoy, including intimate relations.
As time has passed, I have learned that his marriage isn't as he described it to me. It's not so much a marriage of convenience as he said it was.
I'm worried that our relationship is icky, especially when I think about it afterward. I spend a lot of time in his home eating meals his wife has cooked for him.
I want to ask him about this point-blank, but I don't want to risk losing this guy, who happens to be very caring and attentive.
Should I walk away, ignore his texts and find someone else? — The Other Woman
Dear Other Woman: If you can spend time at the house this man shares with his wife and eat meals she has cooked — and it only occurs to you later how "icky" this is — then I'd say you need to adjust your ick-o-meter. The idea is to be icked out by things in advance of doing them.
Your guy is a liar and a cheat. Walking away sounds like a good idea.
Dear Amy: I hate to work and always have. I have a responsible professional position, dealing with an issue I care deeply about. I work with truly wonderful people. I fulfill all of my responsibilities, but I have to force myself to do everything. The same is true for work around the house, etc.
I get it done, but I can only think of how fast I can get it over with, and how, if possible, I can avoid it. I resent expending effort. I know I must work; I feel strongly that I need to pull my own weight and contribute more, but I just hate every minute of it.
My question is: Does everyone feel this way? Does everyone have to take a deep breath and force their way through every minute of every day? I see other people who seem to enjoy what they do or at least do not resent it. What advice do you have? — Don't Like Being Lazy
Dear Lazy: You know the saying, "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life"? People (like me) who truly love their work generally look forward to doing it, even if we have to take a deep breath before starting a task. Most people don't need to deep-breathe their way through every single effort, the way you report you do just to get through the day.
My first suggestion is for you to get a full medical checkup to see if you have a thyroid (or other medical) problem that might cause you to simply have low energy. You should also be evaluated for depression. If so, treatment would literally lift the veil, give you more energy and improve your outlook.
Otherwise, thinking of tasks in small bites might help you to get started — and will also create a satisfying sense of accomplishment ("I made that phone call! Yay!"). You don't say if there is anything in the world for which you do enjoy expending effort. If so, you can use activities you enjoy (even if your activity is actually inactivity) as motivators to get through the day.
I'll run additional suggestions from readers.
Dear Amy: I loved your response to "Heartbroken Dad," a single parent raising his adopted 14-year-old son.
I especially related to the lines, "Do not expect him to express gratitude to you. His sole job is to grow up well (and that is a tough job for any child)."
I am the stepmom of a challenging 13-year-old — she has autism as well as other disorders. While parenting has many rewards, in a small part of my heart I've been hoping for a "thanks for being the mother my own mother isn't."
What you wrote put it all in perspective. — Stepmom
Dear Stepmom: I often note that stepparents can be the real unsung heroes in a child's life. It sounds like your teen hit the jackpot.
Send questions via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or write to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Excellent. Has a bit of the flavor of the mise-en-scene of some of the gritty British working-class movies of the same period. Grim story, extremely well-played. Also fascinating as a slice of culture -- who in the US has ever given a moment's thought to the situation in postwar Korea, or of the Korean vets of that war? The print is terrible, but the hand-written subtitles are cool.
An absolute tour de force. I usually keep half an eye on what the Brothers Quay are up to, but I somehow missed this. Much credit due to the score, as well. Not to be missed. Actually based, by the way, on a true story -- gonie inot in some detail in the Nwe York Review's article about the show they currently have up at MoMA: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2012/nov/22/where-macabre-fantastic-meet/
Completely fascinating -- interesting to see how the Warner Brothers tropes work their way in....
not that interesting. more trickery than really bringing anything out about the film.
As a member of the East Coast leftist intelligentsia, I'm not sure whether I'm more mystified by the racial politics or the very fact of the Mardi Gras cult, which certainly seems to drive a great deal of civil society down there. Fascinating in more ways than I think even the director herself realized.
Fantastic performances -- the lightness of the touch could easily fall into pointlessness, but brilliantly carried by the cast. Kind of a Cassavettes film for the low-affect era. Highly recommended.
but it's not supposed to be. This movie actually falls into the particularly French genre of 'low-affect hot girl character study.' Not a bad example of the form -- I can think of worse -- and her boyfriend is particularly well played.
Fun little satire of the American coming-of-age story. Worth seeing if only as a note for what was beginning to bubble underground in the postwar period. I"m intrigued about the very brief, and unnarrated, Turkish Bath scene.
Although the main conceit gets hammered in a bit relentlessly, the images are beautiful, and the raw quality of the stop-motion gives it a hard-edged energy that one doesn't feel in more recent, and slicker, uses of the technique. Also somehow more appropriate to the New York of that era than Koyaanisqatsi's roiling clouds and perfect sunsets. I'm surprised I had never heard of this movie -- I think it deserves more attention -- and if it were not for the incredibly lame soundrack, it could be in the same league as Ruttman's Berlin: die Sinfonie der Großstadt. In that film, the metaphor for the city is the machine. Fifty years later, the organism is the model -- that change in itself is interesting, and the two are a great comparison pair.

Heartland Conference Gave Global-Warming Skeptics Great Ammunitionby Ross Kaminsky
Viscount Christopher Monckton of Brenchley pulled an enormous calculator out of the inside pocket of his finely tailored English suit, pointed to a formula in the paper he was holding, punched some buttons, and explained, showing me the calculator results, that if we shut down the entire worlds economy for 25 years, the maximum possible impact on global temperatures would be 1 degree centigrade.
Thats what passed for light banter at the Heartland Institutes 4th Annual Conference on Climate Change, which I had the good fortune to attend for three days last week, meeting a pantheon of climate skeptic heroes including Richard Lindzen, Fred Singer, Pat Michaels, Steve McIntyre and Roy Spencer, just to name a few of the dozens of speakers hailing from two dozen nations.
Heartlands president, Joe Bast, set the tone the first night while addressing the meetings roughly 800 attendees. Bast quoted a scientistand I use that term very looselyfrom the University of East Anglia, home of the Climategate scandal, who actually wrote in a recently published book: We need to ask not what we can do for climate change, but what climate change can do for us. Rarely has there been a more public statement of the mindset of global warmists.
The three-day meeting was composed of meals in a large room for all attendees with four simultaneous interspersed break-out sessions, usually with three or four speakers each, on topics of science, economics or public policy. Because there were four sessions at once, I necessarily missed three quarters of the presentations, but Heartland has already begun posting video coverage and PowerPoint presentations on their web site so people can see what they missed. Pajamas Media (PJTV) also streamed and archived many of the presentations and speeches.
Following are some of the highlights of the various presentations and speeches I attended. My focus tended toward the science-oriented break-out sessions.
From Swedens Nils-Axel Mörner, one of the worlds leading experts on sea levels: Sea levels are simply not rising around the Maldives, Tuvalu, Bangladesh, even Venice, despite the fact these low-lying places are the poster children for the supposed coming catastrophe caused by global warming. Referring to some of his older work, Mörner made a point I had never heard before: If the sea level were rising, then the Law of Angular Momentum says that the speed of Earths rotation must slow. However, the earths rotation is not slowing, thus confirming his data that sea levels are not rising.
From New Zealand scientist Bob Carter: Sea levels around Australia have fallen more than a meter over the past 6,000 years. Still, the UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) continues to trumpet sea-level rise as a cause of major concern and a reason to curb worldwide carbon emissions. According to Dr. Carter, In using IPCC advice to set their policies, national governments are negligent and fail utterly to do their duty to their people.
From Western Washington Universitys Don Easterbrook: We have begun global cooling which I predicted in 1998. He also noted that natural global warming much more intense than modern warming has occurred many times in the geologic past without substantial changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Easterbrook also pointed out that twice as many people are killed by extreme cold as by extreme heat and that global cooling poses far greater other risks as well, including risks to food production and increased demand for energy.
Perhaps the most important non-warmist scientist, MITs Richard Lindzen said that doubling the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere would contribute only 1 degree (Celsius) to warming. All IPCC models predict more because they assume positive feedbacks which exist only in models; real measurements show slight negative feedback. (Positive feedback means that climatic reaction to warmer temperatures would be changes that would lead to even warmer temperatures, which is not what is happening.)
Lindzen savaged IPCC models, saying that their higher sensitivity to CO2 changes is made consistent with observed warming by invoking arbitrary negative forcings and other adjustments. He also noted that even if it were true that models are our only tool, it would be true only if models were objective and not arbitrarily adjusted.
He argued that we should be suspicious of climate alarmism for five primary reasons: The alarmists claims of incontrovertibility, their arguing from authority instead of scientific reasoning or even elementary logic, their use of the term global warming without either definition or quantification, their identification of complex phenomena that have multiple causes as being based on a single cause, and their conflation of natural climate variability with man-made global warming.
And in the most fundamentally significant words spoken about those who disagree with the cult of Al Gore, Lindzen suggested that the word skeptic should not be used:
Skepticism implies doubts about a plausible proposition. Current global-warming alarm hardly represents a plausible proposition. Twenty years of repetition and escalation of claims does not make it more plausible. Quite the contrary. The failure to improve the case over 20 years makes the case even less plausible as does the evidence from Climategate and other instances of overt cheating.
I asked Dr. Lindzen whether, much as government seems inherently corrupting to many politicians, something in the structure of science has become inherently corrupting to many scientists. His response was that science has changed to being programmatic, meaning that when you get the answer, you end the program. So we have a structure in science that tends to cause scientists to want to avoid getting answers.
Steve McIntyre and Ross McKitrick spent some time signing small hockey sticks that said Mann-made global warming on them, in reference to the infamous IPCC hockey stick graph created by Michael Mann and utterly destroyed by McIntyre and McKitrick. It is a wonder that Mann still has a job anywhere. Indeed, several conference speakers noted how every investigation into the corruption of the climate alarmists, including Climategate, has been an utter whitewash.
One of the other fascinating scientific topics was how global temperatures are measured. Joe DAleo of Icecap noted that 75% of the worlds weather stations dropped out around 1990, with missing data increasing ten-fold after 1990. There are either no adjustments or totally inadequate adjustments for urban heat island effect, a point made by several speakers who suggested that most of the warming the IPCC has measured is simply the warming created in big cities. The point was driven home by a picture of the Rome airport weather station: Its in a fenced area right behind the jet wash of airplanes taking off.
IPCC data is changed frequently with no explanation: 20% of NASAs data changed 16 times in 2.5 years from 2004 to 2007. Data modifications for Darwin, Australia changed a cooling trend of .7 degrees into a warming trend of 1.2 degrees, and other such shenanigans. Its the ultimate example of garbage in, garbage out.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable presentations was by Andrei Illarionov of Moscows Institute for Economic Analysis. He showed that the methodology of Phil Jones and the keepers of the surface temperature data at the University of East Anglia was such that no matter how many of Russias weather stations were used, the resulting data sets were nearly identical, matching the data from Russias four oldest stations, all of which are in major urban areas and thus substantially overstate actual changes in climate. The same fraudulent methodology is almost certainly used for data for everywhere else on earth. I spoke with Illarionov for more than half an hour trying to understand how it was possible. I still dont understand except that its clear the warmists data prove Mark Twains maxim that there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
The conference concluded with one of the best speeches Ive ever heard, by the aforementioned Lord Christopher Monckton, one of the most important and effective opponents of Al Gore in the world. Describing Moncktons speech cant do it justice. Instead, I urge you to watch it yourself at this link, clicking on the third video in the first row. It will be one of the most enjoyable and informative hours youve heard. His infectious enthusiasm and drive for the truth is a large part of the reason that the 4th International Conference on Climate Change had just a hint of celebration, of the sense that maybe were finally winningor at least no longer losing.

'Supernatural' Adds 'Futurama' Voice Talent to Season 8 Cast
Lauren Tom is heading to Vancouver to join Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles on the set of Supernatural.
Tom is predominantly known as a voice talent, lending her voice to cartoons such as: Futurama, Kung Fu Panda, and King of the Hill.
EDITOR'S PICK: Misha Collins Talks Supernatural Season 8
According to THR, who broke the story, Tom could potentially become a recurring character on Supernatural. Although the details are sparse, she is reported to be playing an "overbearing" mother who is "intense."
It's difficult to picture Tom as the mother to any of the leading characters on the show. She's obviously not the mother of Sam, Dean or Bobby (Jim Beaver). One would assume that for her introduction to be "dramatic," she would somehow need to be connected directly to one of these three characters. Of course, she could be an angel or a demon, which could tie in nicely to either Castiel (Misha Collins) or Crowley's (Mark Sheppard) story arcs.
EDITOR'S PICK: Interview: Jim Beaver Calls Supernatural 'Home'
Supernatural's EP's have stated that the series will shift focus to the ongoing struggle between angels and demons when the series returns on Oct. 3. Last season focused on the leviathan threat.
By the way, is anyone else pumped that Supernatural is moving from Fridays to Wednesday nights at 9pm? Can I get a Hallelujah? Oh, wait, Crowley may not approve of that.

Thinking about getting my Tubes Tide ?!?
I had my 2nd son 6 weeks ago and he came with neonatal thrombocytopenia. He was 2 weeks in the NICU but is fine now. I made some research on how and if could effect my next Kids and found out that it can, even worst! Now me and my husband are sure that we don't want anymore kids cause we don't wanna go though this again. Can everyone tell me about their experience on getting the tubes tide?! Like side effects! I am only 23 years old, I know that's very young but I am sure I don't want anymore kids also not with another man if I ever get a divorce since I am the one with the "bad" (negative) blood group. Thanks already for helpful answers !!!

1. Tide is overpriced. Choose Cheer. 2. You are too young to get a tubal ligation. I doubt you could find a doctor that would do the procedure.posted 11/24/2012 by Line_Dried
It is totally up to you what you want to do. However, considering your age, it may be totally possible that you could change your mind. There are other birth control methods that are highly effective and could be a better answer for your problem, including having your husband do a vasectomy which is less invasive and easier to reverse if you happen to change your mind. Anyway, I do not know personally about your situation, but I thought I would throw out some other possibilities for you, especially since someone at your age has at least 15 years of possible change of thought. Good luck and hope you find the answers you are looking for.posted 11/18/2012 by JaneenNJohn
I just had my second child as well. A second girl. My husband and I decided that if/when we decide to have more kids they will not be biological. I was also thinking of getting my tubes tied. My husband strongly advocated AGAINST that. He is a nurse and did a lot of research as well as talked to doctors. The risks during the surgery and after just aren't worth it for a woman to have her tubes tied electively. However, the procedure for a man to have a Vasectomy is a simple out-patient procedure. Much less in risk, cost and time. He actually just had this done 2 weeks ago. It took about 30min, our insurance covered it, he was only sore for a few days and (with two little ones) lets face it there's not much happening in the bed room right now anyway. If you haven't done anything yet, I suggest you look into HIM getting the procedure instead of you.posted 12/18/2012 by GaitherMom2
I personally know 2 people who got their tubes tied, and both got very bad side effects... One experienced such painful periods she could barely move about, and the other... She decided 5 years later her and her husband wanted more children... She got the procedure reveresed, and since has had 3 ectopic pregnancies, and 2 miscarriages... She's crushed, and devastated... When she had the procedure done her, and her husband were positive they were done. They were perfectly happy with the 5 girls they had (2sets of twins and one single birth) . I talk to her frequently and i asked her what she would tell someone if they asked her, her opinion, and she said "I would highly advise against it. There are many other ways to prevent getting pregnant. I didn't end up regretting it just because i wanted more... I also regret it because of how much pain it caused me before i got it reversed"posted 12/12/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I was asking for experience not advises but it's okay. Thanks anyways! I already decided what I'll do. And I'm sorry I am not from this county so sorry for me spelling. At least you understood what I meant right ...posted 11/28/2012 by sgerardo231
'tubes tide'? I think you should definitely go through with it. High-school level spelling should be mandatory and you have 2 children already :) Have you looked into Mirena IUD? It lasts for 5 years and your OB-Gyn can put it in for you.posted 11/28/2012 by fishfish10
Speaking as someone who has dealt with infertility problems due to attempted sterilization reversal surgery (husband's vasectomy reversal) AND knows someone who had even worse problems for the same reason (friend's tubal reversal)... don't do anything permanent before you're 30. There is a very good chance that you'll regret it. You're life is going to change SO much in the next 10 years, it's impossible to know what you'll want a decade down the line. My friend who had the tubal ligation at 23 and a reversal in her 30s ended up needing three rounds of IVF to conceive her twins. They ended up spending about $60,000 on fertility treatments, which may have been avoided had since not had the tubal in her 20s. There are other long-term birth control options (like an IUD) that are safe and very effective, so I would suggest utilizing one of those for the next several years. If you and your husband get to your 30s and still feel certain you don't want another child, THEN look into surgery.posted 11/24/2012 by LeighEliz

When I watch videos of people benching like 700 or 800 lbs in a shirt, the only thing that I think about is how much they could bench without one. What kind of results do they produce? and if some people wouldn't mind posting their max WITH a shirt and their max WITHOUT a shirt I would appreciate it.

A weak October jobs report Monday combined with the release of a quarterly survey of business executives that showed little optimism about future prospects provided more evidence that Connecticut's economic recovery has stalled.
"We're in a race to create jobs and we can't get out of first gear," said Peter Gioia, an economist and vice president of the 10,000-member Connecticut Business & Industry Association, in a statement released Monday. "There's a widening gap in expectations for the state compared with the national picture."
The CBIA released its quarterly economic survey Monday, showing that only 13 percent of executives believe the state's economy is improving, while 25 percent see better times ahead for the nation as a whole. The third-quarter survey indicated 44 percent of executives expected the state's economy to worsen, which is an improvement from 58 percent in the first quarter but is still a much more morose assessment than given to the national picture.
The survey meshed with statistics released Monday by the state Department of Labor that showed Connecticut's unemployment rate rising a tenth of a point to 9 percent in October, compared with a national rate of 7.9 percent. The Norwich-New London area's October unemployment rate of 9 percent — unadjusted for seasonal factors — compares with a rate of 8.2 percent at the same time last year.
The Labor Department also released numbers showing that the state gained 1,200 jobs in October compared with the previous month, but has lost 2,800 positions since October of last year — with 2,200 of those jobs coming from the Norwich-New London area. Last month, the region saw a decline of 600 jobs.
"It appears that job growth rates have been slowing over the last two quarters," Andy Condon, director of the state Labor Department's office of research, said in a statement.
The state's reported September jobs gain of 2,000 was changed in the latest report to reflect a loss of 400 jobs after further analysis.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has argued during the past few months that jobs are growing — albeit slowly — and that a growing unemployment rate only means that people who previously had given up on looking for employment are now back in the hunt.
"If these conflicting results tell any single story, it's that more people are attempting to enter the workforce because conditions are beginning to improve," Malloy said in a statement.
Jobs are up slightly so far in 2012, with an estimated 1,400 positions having been added to payrolls, but growth is far behind last year's pace of an additional 12,000 jobs in the first nine months.
"With October's results, we are, for the first time, showing year-over-year declines in job levels," Condon said. "However, we believe that when we complete our annual benchmark revisions in March, we will be showing as many as 8,000 to 9,000 more jobs in the state than the payroll survey currently indicates."
The Norwich-New London area leads all other areas of the state in year-over year job losses. The Hartford labor market is the only other region in the state to have seen job losses over the past 12 months.
Connecticut as a whole is only about a quarter of the way toward recovering the 117,500 jobs the state lost during the Great Recession. Jobs that have taken the biggest hit include government-related positions, with 11,100 losses; financial activities, 4,200; construction and mining, 1,200, and manufacturing, 800.
"We are battling strong headwinds, both at the national level and in Europe," Malloy said. "The more we learn about the Great Recession, the more we realize how long it's going to take to get us out of it."

If the role of government isn't to bail people out of there mistakes then why did they just bail out wallstreet? The majority of people at some point in their lives needs a hand, some of those do not have the friends and family around them to support them. They will just fall through the cracks as there is no government there to back them up when they are down, that to me signifies a poor society.
Economic achievements are not the only measure of the success of a society my friend. If you continue to base your respect of your country on this, wait a few decades then move to china.
You seem to think that you will not benefit at all from a change to your country. Do you take any medication? Have you gone to university?

The bailout for wallstreet was necesary it not only affected all americans but the world as a whole. What we need now is for the government to do it's job and make sure this never happens again instead of wasting our money in taking personal responsabilty out of people hands.
There are plenty of programs in the US that help people out, the problem that too many people abuse this system and are looking for a free handout rather than help in their time of need.
This country is not only great becuase of it economic achivements but because it allows us to be free to pursue life as we wish. It gives us all the freedom to achive our goals and beyond. Socialism represses that, it gives government more control of our lives and goes against the main reason why this country was created.
And I will gladly pay more for my medication and education in order to keep the goverments hands out of my pockets.

Right now your country allows the richer proportion of the population to "pursue life as we wish". If your born into poverty there how can you escape? Is there much chance of them even getting into college with the poor standards of high schools, or if they do manage to get the grades, afford the tuition.
How exactly does socialism repress...
Please explain to me why you have such harsh feelings towards this idea? Quite frankly it astounds me that someone could be so against helping others in the country that they are so patriotic about.

Elizabeth Danforth on Her Wasteland Involvement22 Mar 2012
- Category: News Archive
- Written by BuckGB
- Hits: 995
A lot of powerful, creative, intelligent minds worked on the first Wasteland. Brian is assembling the core personalities who drove that game, including my old friends from Flying Buffalo and T&T days, Mike Stackpole and Ken St Andre. I met Alan Pavlish while working on Wasteland and worked with him many times thereafter, writing large chunks of subsequent Interplay projects like the two Star Trek titles (25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites) and other works. I was delighted to learn that another creative friend from that time, Steve Peterson, once of HERO Games and co-designer of Champions, is evidently also getting involved. [ETA: I may have misunderstood something Steve said, but it would be cool if it's true!]
Right now, it looks like I'll be doing just a little in the new game, but at least one map. Expect a worthy successor to Highpool. Expect me to jack around with your emotions and expect your decisions to have consequences. I know more about games and game design than I did then, and I'd like to think I'm at least as creative today as I was then, if not more so.
That's one advantage to being a Maker. Doing so many different things, I don't get too set in my ways about any one thing I do, whether art or writing or game design. I may not be as well known as some who specialize — that's the downside to being a jack of all trades — but I've worked steadily as a creative Maker for almost four decades. I still get as excited by challenging new projects as I did when I was twenty. And I'm really stoked about some of the ideas and evil plans growing in my notes for when I get the green light to start on my part of Wasteland 2.
