Windows 10 Review for Dummies
By Ivory_Soul

After all these years, and growing up with Windows 3.1, I have seen an entire evolution of computers and software. Touch screens and large resolutions were a pipe dream just 15 years ago. Now it's the norm. Going from a Packard Bell (yes, before HP) that couldn't run 3D Ultra Mini...
GDC and the Adventures through the Drinking Glass
GDC and the Adventures through the Drinking Glass
Posted on Monday, March 15 @ 17:02:38 PST by
First Person Drinker
Game Developers' Conference Through The Drinking Glass
There's lots to see at GDC, but the most popular game at the show was overlooked on the show floor. It's a dynamic non-alternate reality game with multiple paths to get to the end. Kind of like the game Flower, the objective of the game is unclear and it's all about the journey getting there.
Below you'll find a walkthru of my valiant attempt to experience this game for the readers at the sacrifice of my liver. Mind you, while this walkthru does contain spoilers, this game is SO dynamic that every user has a different experience.
Day 1, Level 1 – EA Sports
Location – Fancypants
Drink of Choice – Red Wine
Starting at the fanciest point possible. I began in the sophisticated environs of the Press Club in San Francisco. After an initial scuffle between my teammate A.I., Blake, and a wine steward over whether there were drinks other than expensive wine, I was able to enjoy a fine glass of a red wine called Titan while watching EA show off their latest. I was totally amazed that an EA Sports presentation in a World Cup year didn't mention soccer at all, but I digress. This level was a perfect beginner level and well designed to both feed me and get me prepared for the next challenge.
Day 1, Level 2 – Capcom Fight Club
Location – Not allowed to talk about it
Drink of Choice – Makoto Punch
No, I did not make that drink up. The fine designers of this level had the most themed drink list of the whole game. Isn't that typical? I mean, designers put all the detail in the early levels to get you hooked, then slack off as the game nears the end. In any case, since this was a Fight Club, I'm not allowed to talk about it for fear of Tyler Durden.
Day 1, Level 3 – True Crime
Location – Hong Kong Bam Bam Club
Drink of Choice – Jack and Ginger
A very well designed level, with some impressive... graphics. It is here that I unlocked several achievements, enhancing my enjoyment and guaranteeing that I would continue playing this game to its completion. This is the best screenshot achievement since my zombie "erotic" pictures in Dead Rising. I even got a bonus achievement for getting her email... to send her the pictures of course... this game is rated M, not AO, you pervert.
Day 2, Level 4 – The Great White North
Location – Pool Hall
Drink of Choice – Lebatt Blue
In a devilish bit of design, I encountered the first evil boss character at the door to the Canadian party. Don't let them convince you that all Canadians are nice and friendly; this women was downright mean and ornery. Using a bit of patience and charm, I dodged around the boss and made my way into a wonderful party where I got a Nova Scotia scarf, talked to a cute PR woman, and looked at a fun bulletporn game called Duality ZF on XBL indie games for $1. I put the scarf in my inventory as I figured I would need it for a puzzle later on in the adventure.
Day 2, Level 5 – Imagination Technologies
Location – Sitting at a table
Drink of Choice – IPA
In another twist of design, I was able to rest my character for a good few minutes at a brew pub thanks to the makers of PowerVR. Unfortunately, this is where the team A.I. begins to break down. My teammate stopped moving for a bit, no matter what buttons I pressed. I thought I hit the pause menu, but looking around everything else was still moving. The bug soon corrected itself and we were back on track to advance to the next level.
Day 2, Level 6 – Telltale Games
Location – Cartoon Art Museum
Drink of Choice – Cabernet
There are no drinking buddies as good as Sam and Max. They're always there for you... except when they're not. I also met these four interesting midgets there. While they were nice at first, they kept going on and on about the "one ring" and how they needed to get some mountain for some ceremony. I'm think it had something to do with gay marriage...
Day 2, Level 7 – Women in Gaming
Location – Another Art Museum
Drink of Choice – Jack and Coke
The designers goofed on this party, starting with the name. While there were more women at this party than most of the others, it was still predominantly guys. I expect to see annual patches that improve this party as the years go on. I made my first mistake in the adventure by completely mispronouncing my friend's name to her face. (SORRY!) I did find a cheat for this level, however. When you enter the level, take as many drink tickets from the pile at the doorway as you can. No one will stop you.
Day 2, Level 8 – Wild Pockets Party Bus
Location – Drivers seat
Drink of Choice – Silver Bullet
Okay, even I think this level is a bad idea. Not only do I lack the proper driver's license for a vehicle that size, but I couldn't find a cupholder that would fit my beer! While I was told there was a full bar at the back of the bus, the designers packed way too many people on board, making movement really difficult. Crap, we're being pulled over... Excuse me, occifer? No, I'm sotally tober.
Day 2, Level 9 – Rock Band
Location – Far Away
Drink of Choice – Not sure at this point
A unique feature of this game is that as you progress in the evening, the graphics tend to get fuzzier. That's a good thing when it comes to this party, however, as a shirtless, pasty white geek singing Green Day is not something you need to see in high resolution. They did us all a favor in drowning out the singing with the master track, however. A solid end to a long Day 2.
Day 3, Bonus Level – Sushi
Location – Bait shop
Drink of Choice – Warm Sake
Still recovering from the previous level, the designers were kind enough to provide another recharging station. You are given the choice of restaurants to eat at, but may I recommend sushi as one of the best things for a night of drinking. Nothing like rice to soak up all your vices. Of course, the recharge is less effective after the second or third sake.
Day 3, Level 10 – Gamespy
Location – Hotel
Drink of Choice – Vodka Cranberry
At this point, my teammate A.I. totally broke down. With one teammate completely unaware of his surroundings
[In hindsight, "Benadryl and Bourbon" was an unwise cocktail. ~Ed
] and another devoting his processor cycles to corralling his drunken friend, I was left to my own devices. A teacher of photography from the Academy of Art saw the adventure I was on and insisted she could do it better. An insistence proved wrong when she kept putting the drink behind the camera and then getting confused as to why it wasn't in the shot. I did get to see Blake slapped by a tranny though...
Day 3, Level 11 – Cheap Ass Scandinavians
Location – Crappy Club
Drink of Choice – Most Expensive Jack and Coke EVER
Due to uncooperative A.I. at the last party, I was stuck on the previous level for too long and again arrived late to this Nordic level. This level was added by Gunnar, who showed me a great multiplayer XBLA shooter called Lead and Gold. However, unlike previous instances of drink tickets at the door, this party had gone from free to pay-your-own-way without telling anyone. $9 for a Jack and Coke? Are you serious? I blame Gunnar, who doesn't drink and doesn't understand my pain.
Day 4, Level 12 – Mafia II
Location – A Diorama
Drink of Choice – Martini
What an awesome level! I ran into this one blonde female character with a red dress who couldn't stop staring at me. The hosts could tell she was into me and let me go into the VIP section where she was with all her friends. I could tell she was totally into me when I was talking about video games and she didn't run away. I was just getting to know her, however, when I realized that the guy next to her was her date. He had a Tommygun in his lap and he was definitely not happy to see me. As I backed away, I took a second look at the graphics and realized we still have a long way to cross the uncanny valley.
Day 4, Level 13 – Destructoid
Location – The Ghetto
Drink of Choice – Case of Beer
Arriving at the door to the final level, we were greeting by a man in black at the door declaring that they were full. At that moment, a taxi pulled up and a guy jumped out, opened the back, and proceeded to yell to his friends for help bringing in more beer. Understanding this to be a scripted event, I stepped up and grabbed two cases, carrying them past the bouncer and right into the party. I'm sure there were multiple ways around the bouncer, but none make you as popular with the
than bringing in cases of beer.
And so, I reached the end of the adventure. Though I believe the target audience for this game skews a bit younger (I'm too old for this pain), it is truly a game for all adults. Available now at your corner liquor store, with plenty of reasonably priced downloadable content available almost anywhere.
Do I declare victory? I'm not sure. Though there are many paths to take through this game, though most of them end in the same place.

Where do the Lakers go from here?
Like any team that has been ousted from the NBA playoffs, the Lakers have turned their focus to next season. But at the moment, they aren't sure which way to go.
Do they extend Andrew Bynum's contract? Or revisit the whole Dwight Howard affair? Is there a veteran point guard in their future?
General Manager Mitch Kupchak attempted to answer some of the questions Wednesday after the players' exit interviews, but not even he had all the answers.
Questions abound for the 16-time NBA champions and the answers aren't easily found and their problems aren't going to be fixed with one move. Click on the photos to see what dilemmas face the Lakers in the off-season.

Robert Huth heads home Stoke City's first goal against Reading
09:00 24th June 2013
We take a look back at what was a relatively quiet month
THERE WAS plenty of late drama in Stoke City's Barclays Premier League encounters during the month of February . . . some of it good, some of it not so good.
It was a quiet month which featured only three games; a narrow win over Reading sandwiched in between two trips to the capital which proved to be fruitless despite displays that deserved more.
There was heartache for the Potters when they took on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium as they slipped to a defeat that was harsh to say the very least.
Substitute Lukas Podolski grabbed the only goal of the game eleven minutes from time to dent City's hopes of claiming a deserved point after producing their best performance in North London since winning promotion in 2008.
Podolski's relatively tame free-kick from 25 yardstook a wicked deflection off the leg of American Geoff Cameron, before nestling in the bottom corner of the net.
While we relied on Asmir Begovic during the first half to keep the Gunners at bay, we had chances too, with Ryan Shawcross and Peter Crouch both spurning decent opportunities.
It was a late goal for ourselves a week later which ended the search for a first Premier League win of 2013 at the expense of Reading.
Substitute Cameron Jerome's 81st minute strike gave us a two-goal cushion at the Britannia Stadium after Robert Huth had broken the deadlock earlier in the second half by heading home his first goal of the season from a corner.
But some anxious moments had to be survived in the closing stages after Adrian Mariappa produced a neat near-post finish to reduce the deficit seven minutes from time.
We had reason to feel aggrieved after slipping to a 1-0 defeat against Fulham at Craven Cottage in front of the live TV cameras.
Dimitar Berbatov marked his 200th Premier League appearance with an exquisite volley deep in first half stoppage time and although that proved to be the only goal of the game, it wasn't the only decisive moment.
Jonathan Walters spurned the opportunity to earn Stoke a valuable draw from the penalty spot in the second half afterAshkan Dejagah had been penalised for handling as debutant Brek Shea tried to flick the ball past him in the area.
Walters stepped up take the spot-kick and fired it low to Mark Schwarzer's right, but the Australian goalkeeper got down smartly to get his hands firmly behind it and dash Stoke's hopes of claiming any reward from their trip to West London.
To make matters worse Robert Huth was subsequently charged by the FA with violent conduct following an incident withdefender Philippe Senderos.
The clash wasn't seen by the match officials, but was captured on video; the German accepted the charge and began a three-match ban.
However, there was a positive to emerge from the game at Craven Cottage as Marc Wilson returned to first team action for the first time since suffering a broken leg and dislocated ankle in October.
Off the field, the Club received confirmation from the local authorities that their planning application for the development of the south east corner of the Britannia Stadium had been given approval, meaning that everything was now in place for an appropriate time when we decide to raise the capacity to 30,000 with an additional 1,800 seats.

A Global Famine? The Twin Crises of the Agricultural World
3 weeks ago
A Global Famine? The Twin Crises of the Agricultural World
The Financial Times, 4th March 2035
The "Archaeobiome" is the latest buzzword in scientific study. But is it something the rest of us should be more worried about?
So far, the threat's been fairly low-key. The locust armadillo, a tiny shelled animal about an inch and a half long – although apparently they're getting larger – was first spotted in Nigerian maize fields four years ago. It's now seen in six different Sub-Saharan African nations and in a stripe right across South America. So far, they've been a nuisance more than anything, but their numbers have grown every summer, and projections of this summer's brood aren't hopeful.
Which wouldn't be too alarming on its own if it wasn't due to meet the spread, from America's Mid-West and parts of Europe's Mediterranean farming regions, of a new strain of colonising fungus. Savanomycetes coccinea, a fast-growing red bloom that chokes out other plant life and – most alarmingly – apparently lives on plastics and petrochemicals, has so far been susceptible to regular pesticides, but it's reportedly adapting quickly, and a few crops have already come up short the past year or two.
So agribusiness has taken hits before – the loss of the Gros Michel cultivar of bananas in the 1950s comes to mind – and survived. Is this any different? Well, with President Fredericks reportedly in closed talks with the WTO and World Bank on an undisclosed matter, betting money says this is likely to be a volatile market – and a real threat to economic and political stability – in coming years.

CEO of Northern Brook resigns amid parasite scandal

CEO of Northern Brook Resigns Amid Parasite Scandal
The Washington Post, 22nd June 2034
Nathan Hendrix, the CEO of soft drinks company Northern Brook, resigned today amid reports he was aware of the contamination of his company's bottled water with the Archaean Parasite as early as January this year.
Following the discovery in March that two major bottled water brands had been contaminated with the so-called "Archaean Parasite," a major CDC and FDA investigation uncovered evidence last month, as we've previously reported, that the contamination appears to have been deliberate. Further investigation has revealed that in at least one case, senior management were aware of the contamination as early as last winter and took no steps to report or attempt to deal with the contamination.
Millions of bottles of Northern Brook's Northern Brook Spring Water and Beverco's Clan Claddagh Natural Mineral Water around the world are believed to be contaminated with the Parasite – tentatively named Toxoplasma archaii – previously exclusively associated with Ancient Springs' Archaean Water.
Thus far, no harmful effects are known to be associated with the Parasite, and devotees of Archaean Water, who claim it promotes empathy, emotional intelligence and mental wellbeing, have been quick to embrace the organism's discovery, claiming it has a beneficial part to play in symbiosis with the human race. Pills and powders containing the Parasite are available through homeopathic and natural remedies stores as a nutritional supplement.
A spokesman for Nathan Hendrix earlier gave this statement: "Mr. Hendrix only wished to avoid public panic, especially given that the water is apparently entirely safe for human consumption. In hindsight, he regrets his decision and any harm it may have brought to Northern Brook's reputation, and wishes his former employers and shareholders well." The spokesman declined to comment on any severance package Hendrix may have agreed with Northern Brook.
At time of writing, Northern Brook has yet to reply to request for comment.

This article refers to the Archaean predator. For the 2030s Boston-based punk-pop band, see Terror-Jaw (Band).
Some of the content of this article may be original research. Please help by finding citations for it.
A terror-jaw (also known as a shark-dog[1] or bullet-raptor[2]) or Pseudoraptor georgii[citation needed] is a small,[citation needed] warm-blooded[3] predator[citation needed] first observed in suburban Brownsville in Texas, United States in 2033,[4] although their current range is believed[by whom?] to extend as far as Florida and California. Hairless, thick-skinned quadrupeds with larger hind limbs than forelimbs, a large balancing tail and a crested skull, they bear a superficial resemblance to "raptor" dinosaurs, although terror-jaws are currently still unclassified in biology.[citation needed]
Appearance and Anatomy [edit]
Terror-jaws have thick, hairless hides similar to pachyderms,[5] with colouring from brown to grey-brown to black observed,[6] although whether these shades represent different subspecies or just individual variation is uncertain.[citation needed] No specimens have yet been found with any sort of fur or hair; the distinctive patterns of growth discernible on most terror-jaws' hides was found, by researcher Julio-Maria Mendes in February 2032, to be a form of benign parasite similar to whale-lice.[7] Terror-jaws are relatively small,[citation needed] with no confirmed specimen yet found more than 102cm from the snout to the tip of the tail,[citation needed] although eyewitness reports[by whom?] suggest creatures up to twice that length may exist.
The high crested skull differs significantly from individual to individual, although it has been theorised[by whom?] that some variation is due to trauma, as terror-jaws are frequently observed[citation needed] butting each other with their skulls. Terror-jaws are polyphyodont, with individual specimens so far found to have between 56 and 108 sharp, narrow teeth in up to three rows.[8][9]
Diet and Behaviour [edit]
Terror-jaws are carnivorous[citation needed] and predatory,[citation needed] relying chiefly on birds and rodents for their diets, although conflicting reports[by whom?] suggest they will attack larger prey and survive by scavenging.[citation needed] Terror-jaws appear to hunt in small packs,[10] although larger, older animals may become solitary and territorial.[11]
Life Cycle [edit]
Terror-jaws are oviparous, laying eggs in clutches of at least three or four,[12] although significantly larger numbers have been noted.[by whom?] Reports are inconsistent as to the size of terror-jaw eggs, varying between 5-6mm[13] and 35-65mm.[14]
Classification [edit]
Main article: Taxonomy of the Archaeobiome
Warm-blooded, hairless, scaleless, oviparous and polyphyodont, terror-jaws have so far eluded classification.[15][16] In their paper "On the Classification of Pseudoraptor, Pseudodasypus and Neogorgonopsia,"[17] Drs. Emma Chambers and Lu Xiuchang of Magdelene College, Cambridge proposed that all three new animals be assigned to an entirely new biological class under Tetrapoda, tentatively named Archaea.
The classification is fiercely debated,[18] with strong support for Chambers and Xiuchang's proposal from advocates of the Archaeobiome theory.[19]

INVASION! Army of GIANT WASPS to hit Britain this Summer

INVASION! Army of GIANT WASPS to hit Britain this Summer
The Express, 19th September 2032
An army of GIANT SUPER-WASPS is scheduled to hit British shores this summer, The Express can report.
The wasp, an unusually large and aggressive strain, was first identified in 2028 in Brazil, where it apparently spread into rural areas from the Amazon basin. Scientists think the insect is native to the deep rainforest and has changed its breeding and migration patterns in response to the recent string of heatwaves in the region, but haven't ruled out the possibility that the wasps, which appear to belong to an ENTIRELY NEW SPECIES, has arisen through mutation.
US and Brazilian authorities insist there's little chance the wasp will spread significantly further than it already has, but Dr. Jordan Hargreaves of the Institute for Environmental Studies in Leeds confirms: "Wasps like this lay eggs wherever they can. Imported fruit from the region could be carrying eggs; it's not impossible the new strain will prove to be a parasitic wasp, laying its eggs in other insects, even livestock animals. We should be prepared for the likelihood they will appear in Britain in the near future."
The Foreign Office has not replied to a request for comment.

Onyx River Court challenge verdict

Onyx River Court Challenge Verdict
The Guardian, 6th May 2031
Environmental court finds in favour of drinks company
The long-running legal dispute between environmental activists and an American soft drinks company over the future of an Antarctic river ended today, reports The Guardian's Jenni Havers.
A Globalchem tanker containing ten million litres of water from the expanded Onyx River landed in California three years ago, sparking a long-running dispute as to the legality of collecting and exploiting the water. Ancient Springs, a newly-formed subsidiary of CornuCorp that purchased the water from Globalchem, argued that the water was collected for scientific purposes, and that the owners had the right to process or sell the water freely after their research was completed.
Thomas Mwambe, speaking for a coalition of environmental groups including Australia's Icy Waters, New Zealand's Whole Earth and Greenpeace, says the volume of water transported indicates that the intention was always to exploit the water commercially. "The recent sharp rise in the current of the Onyx River is a matter of grave alarm, not an opportunity for yet more corporate greed. Some of the meltwater coming down that river hasn't seen sunlight or open air for more than a million years."
Justice Erzbet Grgic of the United Nations Commission for Environmental Law – also known as the Environmental Court – ruled that while Globalchem's presence in the region may have been an infraction of the Antarctic Treaty, the water couldn't have been returned to its source without contaminating a fragile ecosystem, and the sale was legitimate. Mwambe's coalition is reportedly planning to throw its efforts behind their separate ongoing lawsuit against Globalchem for trespassing.

Brace for impact! Addison Gunn's Extinction Biome: Invasion crashes into bookshops today - seek it out, comrades!
But what the heckins is it all about, we hear you cry? Well, read on to find out:
Four years in the military, training for a war that never happened, left Alexander Miller disillusioned and apathetic. Now, as second in command of COBALT, a corporate bodyguard unit for the biotech giant Schaeffer-Yeager, he's little more than a glorified chauffeur to the wealthy elite. But times change.
A threat from the ancient past has reawakened, and like a Biblical plague it threatens to consume every ecosystem on Earth. Hordes of parasite-infected humans riot against the increasingly powerless authorities as vast fungal blooms destroy crops and terrifying beasts stalk city streets.
The last time this happened, T-Rex found itself on the menu. But mankind's got more than teeth – it's got guns. Miller and the men and women of COBALT are pressed into service to fight the onslaught, but they have no idea how cut-throat their corporate masters can be...
The author, part-mad, all military genius, has been talking up a storm about Extinction Biome: Invasion over at A Fantastic Librarian and The Big Thrill - read, enjoy, and, crucially, go and buy the book. Gunn is not a man to be trifled with...
Word Nerd: Begging the Other Cheek (Eight Phrases That Didn't Always Mean What They Mean Now)
4 weeks ago
What up, my nerdlings!
So here's a bit of a fun one. Over the years, as I'm sure you're aware, any number of phrases have been coined in literature – in various classic books and tales, in the work of Shakespeare, in the Bible – and entered into common usage in the English language. What you may be less aware of is how often those phrases are immediately, massively distorted by misuse.
To that end, eight phrases you know and use, which no longer quite mean what the original authors meant...
Begging the Question
Where It's From: Originally Aristotle's Prior Analytics, as τὸ ἐν ἀρχῇ αἰτεῖσθαι ("asking the original point"), which was translated into Latin as petitio principia ("asking/pleading the premise") and thence into English, in the 16th century, as begging the question.
How It's Used: Very often, to mean that a statement has provoked further questions, as in, "Ted got the beers in, which begs the question, where did he get money?"
What It Originally Meant: Formally, begging the question is repeating your initial premise as proof for itself, as in the phrase, "broccoli is good for you because it's a health food" or "one should believe the Bible is the word of God because it says it is and, being the word of God, it's infallible." It's properly an informal fallacy, a rhetorical or logical device which isn't necessarily false but which doesn't prove the point it's intending to prove.*
At any rate, nothing to do with Ted's beers, which aren't so much begging questions as raising them.
Begging the question is proving what is not self-evident by means of itself... either because predicates which are identical belong to the same subject, or because the same predicate belongs to subjects which are identical.
Aristotle, Prior Analytics, II, xvi
trans. Hugh Tredennick
Foregone Conclusion
Where It's From: Shakespeare's Othello, as Iago tells his captain (lying through his teeth) that their lieutenant, Cassio, has been dreaming erotically of his (Othello's) wife Desdemona.
How It's Used: We usually use it, these days, to talk about something where the outcome is obvious, given current information. In a fight between a big guy and a little guy, we know the big guy's probably gonna win; when you ask your mum for a second ice lolly, you know she's gonna say no.† It means a safe bet, an unavoidable (or hard to avoid) future largely out of human hands.
What It Originally Meant: By conclusion, Shakespeare meant a "decision"; a foregone conclusion was a premeditated act. With Iago's revelation, Othello has decided that Cassio's and Desdemona's infidelity was not a spur of the moment act, but a planned betrayal. Where we use the phrase to describe something that no-one can really choose or prevent, Shakespeare meant something that might not be inevitable or obvious at all, but was decided upon and deliberately carried out by those involved.
...or... "conclusion" was a euphemism for shagging, and Othello thought that Cassio's dream meant he'd already got his end away with Desdemona prior to the dream. This is actually a point of contention among Shakespeare scholars! It's definitely not being used that way now.
Othello: O monstrous, monstrous!
Iago: Nay, this was but his dream.
Othello: But this denoted a foregone conclusion.
Iago: 'Tis a shrewd doubt, though it be but a dream,
And this may help to thicken other proofs,
That do demonstrate thinly.
Othello, Act III, scene iii.
The Game is Afoot
Where It's From: Henry IV Part I, Act I, scene iii, "Before the game is afoot thou still let'st slip." Northumberland is being quite rude to his son, suggesting he's already fluffed his part in their scheming.
More famously, though, it's also probably Sherlock Holmes's most-quoted line, second only to "Elementary, my dear Watson."‡
How It's Used: Generally, to suggest a game – you know, with dice and a board, and cards or something. It means something interesting and challenging has begun in earnest. The BBC's Sherlock modernises it to "The game is on!"
What It Originally Meant: It's a hunting metaphor. "Game," in this context, is an animal hunted for its meat (as in "game bird" or "game pie"). When the game is "afoot," it's on the run and the hunt has begun. Holmes most certainly used it in that sense – his "game" being Sir Brackenstall's murderer, in The Adventure of the Abbey Grange – but hunting is less relevant to most of us than it used to be, and so nowadays we mostly assume he's talking about chess or something. He liked chess, right? He must have done.
"Come, Watson, come!" he cried.
"The game is afoot. Not a word! Into your clothes and come!"
The Adventure of the Abbey Grange
The Left Hand Doesn't Know What the Right Hand is Doing
Where It's From: The Book of Matthew. It's from the famous "Sermon on the Mount," where Jesus laid down the law for the new covenant he was offering.
How It's Used: To suggest organisational incompetence. "Look here, we've been ordered by Procurement to buy six new cars, and Finance are telling us to scrap four of the ones we've got! Tch. You know, the left hand don't know what the right hand's doing, I tell you."
What It Originally Meant: It was an injunction! Jesus was preaching against performing kind or charitable deeds for public praise; he said, to show God you're really nice, you should do your charity in secret. And not just in secret, but so secret that even you don't know you're doing it! You're literally unconsciously giving money to the poor with one hand while concentrating on something completely different with the other.
This is, of course, ridiculous, but it's probable that the Sermon on the Mount was meant sort of rhetorically (more on this below).
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Matthew, 6:3-4
King James Version
The Milk of Human Kindness
Where It's From: Macbeth. Lady Maccers – who is straight up one of the illest characters you can play – is cussing out her husband for being too full of it (milk).
How It's Used: In a quite nice way. Milk is, of course, a tasty and wholesome drink, and specifically something our society associates with mothers and nurturing. So the milk of human kindness is a compassionate, life-giving quality we admire and respect in others.
What It Originally Meant: She wasn't thinking of milk in terms of its nourishing qualities, so much as its pallor and mildness. To be milky is to be light, weak, tasteless; none of them qualities suggestive of strength and determination, and Lady M was crazy keen on strength and determination.
Shakespeare returns to the milk imagery in Henry IV, Part I, when Hotspur, reading a letter from an unnamed conspirator, dismisses him as a "dish of skim milk," something presumably even weaker and more contemptible than regular milk. I dunno what Shakespeare's got against milk. Milk's quite nice.
Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be
What thou art promis'd. Yet do I fear thy nature,
It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way.
Macbeth, Act I, scene v.
Nature, Red in Tooth and Claw
Where It's From: Tennyson's In Memoriam A. H. H., a lengthy elegiac to his friend Arthur Hallam, who'd died suddenly in 1833. It's a meandering discourse on love, loss, and human nature.
How It's Used: Usually to describe the violent and impersonal nature of Nature, whether in the form of animals or the elements. The implied contrast with humans, who are compassionate and rational, is generally intentional.
What It Originally Meant: It's actually about humans! Tennyson was struggling with humanity's tendency to selfishness, and the growing materialism that was doing such a good job of explaining the world he lived in. If we are all just sophisticated beasts, if we are all driven by the simple mechanisms of evolution, then where can we see proof that love – God's ultimate law – does or should govern us?
Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation's final law
Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravin, shriek'd against his creed
Tennyson, In Memoriam A. H. H.
Where It's From: The Book of Luke. It's one of the "Parables," which were sort of moral riddles that Jesus used to tell his followers. He was crazy about riddles. Like, at his birthday, if you didn't read the riddle in your cracker, he'd grab it and read it for you. Loved him some riddles.
How It's Used: A Samaritan, "good" or otherwise, usually means someone who helps a stranger – especially one in dire need, who others are ignoring – with no expectation of reward or recognition. Aww. There's even a suicide charity called The Samaritans – without the "Good," which given the below makes me insanely suspicious of them.
What It Originally Meant: The Good Samaritan of the parable behaved in exactly that way, sure enough. But the point of the story was that Samaritans were famed for their selfishness and officiousness; "good Samaritan" was intended as a surprising dichotomy, like "ethical investment banker."
Of course, the Samaritans are an ethnic and religious community that exists to this day, and I don't believe they're especially keen to be regarded as petty and grasping, but I guess it's okay to be a bit racist when you're quoting the Bible?
I dunno, man, it doesn't seem like it should be.
And a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
Luke, 10:33
King James Version
Turn the Other Cheek
Where It's From: The Book of Matthew again! Another one from the Sermon on the Mount. Basically Matthew's all about the Sermon on the Mount.
How It's Used: This is something your mum or teacher used to tell you if you were bullied or provoked at school. It suggests stoicism and self-discipline; just look away (i.e. "turn your cheek") and ignore them.
What It Originally Meant: Jesus was going a bit further than just "don't rise to their bait." He's telling you to actively participate in your own victimisation; if a man hits you on one cheek, he says, then present the other cheek so that he can hit that one too. Your mum is unlikely to tell you to do this. The Sermon is famously one of the most challenging parts of the New Testament, presenting such an extreme model of virtue – offering yourself up to violence, performing charity in your sleep, never even accidentally thinking about sex with the wrong person – that, as mentioned above, it's usually seen as rhetorical rather than intended literally.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
Matthew, 5:38-40

Nate Crowley returns to Abaddon with Grand Amazon!
4 weeks ago
Nate Crowley, the acclaimed author of 2015 Abaddon novella The Sea Hates A Coward, returns to the Tomes of the Dead series this summer with a gut-churning sequel: Tomes of the Dead: Grand Amazon.
After signing to Abaddon in the wake of his now infamous Twitter saga Daniel Barker's Birthday (as reported on Buzzfeed), Crowley's singular voice quickly marked him out as one of Abaddon's most exciting – and peculiar – new authors.
In The Sea Hates A Coward, Crowley took us on an unforgettably grim voyage. Now Grand Amazon moves the action – and our hero, the dead convict turned revolutionary turned weird-preserved-monster-brain Schneider Wrack - from the sea to the jungle, in a tale that oozes dark humour and lip-smacking wordsmithery.
David Thomas Moore, Commissioning Editor for Abaddon Books, said:
"The Sea Hates A Coward was one of the most delightful surprises of 2015, a mad, careening tale of revenge, rebellion, existential dread and chthonic horror – and more synonyms for rotting blubber than I'm entirely comfortable with. Nate's no less of a delight, a gregarious, self-effacing and profoundly creative soul with a distinctly crooked imagination. It's wonderful to be inviting the fierce, sad, strange Wrack and Mouana to continue telling their stories."
Author Nate Crowley said,
"Readers told me they left The Sea Hates A Coward wanting to know more about the world behind it, and this book will deliver relentlessly on that front. As well as learning more about the execution victims who drove the action in book one, we're going to encounter the state that made them – and its ruthless enemies. And while the mood of TSHAC was all about oceanic horror, Grand Amazon is a jungle story, full of the maddening fecundity of the tropics. I'm gleeful at Abaddon giving me free rein to keep playing with this lovely nightmare (they're a good publisher like that), and I can't wait to get the book out. So pack your bug spray, and I'll see you there."
Tomes of the Dead: Grand Amazon by Nate Crowley is out on 19 August 2016.
Tomes of the Dead: Grand Amazon
By Nate Crowley
What do you live for if you're dead?
For Schneider Wrack, a rebel made into a monster, it's freedom, and the chance of understanding who he once was. For Mouana, an executed soldier made into a slave, it's justice. A world-shaking revolt has given them charge of the titanic whaling ship that was their prison, and now it's steaming towards the city that killed them.
Mouana wants more than revenge – she's out to destroy the grim technology that enslaved her and thousands of her comrades. But it's a lot harder to kill an idea than a person, and this idea has deep roots.
It'll bring them into conflict with terrifying powers, test the limits of their failing bodies, and take them far from the worlds of their birth, to the measureless wilderness known only as Grand Amazon.
It's a jungle out there.
Tomes of the Dead: Grand Amazon by Nate Crowley is available for preorder now!
Extinction Biome: Operation Sea Mink out today!
1 month ago
Action! Adventure! Nuclear warheads! Sounds exciting, doesn't it? And it is! Operation Sea Mink, the latest eBook installment of Addison Gun's rather brilliant Extinction Biome, is out today.
While collecting a team of Schaefer-Yeager scientists from Infected territory, our hero Alex discovers the Archaeans, a group of Infected with a degree more control over themselves, falling victim less slowly to the Archaeobiome. He also meets their leader: his ex-girlfriend, Samantha.
On returning to the Compound, they learn that the nuclear warhead Harris had sent for had arrived in the East River, but the freighter was damaged, its crew lost or incapacitated. Gray sends Miller on OPERATION SEA MINK, a mission to retrieve the warhead before an increasingly paranoid and ambitious Harris gets to it...
Extinction Biome is a new military-SF series about a world overrun by an ancient ecology, awakened from a millennia-long dormancy to destroy the human race; and about the decisions we must make to try and survive...
Extinction Biome: Operation Sea Mink is out now!

Word Nerd: Gruntled, Wieldy and Pulchritudinous; On Onomatopoeic Theory
1 month ago
Hola nerds!
So a little while ago I was sent an email by one of the guys in our IT department, asking me a word question:*
And really it is a rather wonderful question – and, as Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell says, "a wrong question," because the answer of course is that you totally can. The word wieldy dates all the way back to Middle English and has always meant "easily manageable"; if you want to swing a hockey stick around a couple of times and remark, "Yeah, I like this; nice and wieldy," you can do that all day long.
You probably won't, though.
Around the same time I encountered this tumblr post, which had been screencapped and was circulating on facebook (a fine example of the great self-sustaining social media hurricane):
Now this one's a bit more complicated, since it's a neologism. Gruntle, derived from grunt, means "to grumble"; the reflexive disgruntled, first formed in the late seventeenth century, is a sort of double negative,† using the negative prefix dis- to amplify the sense of the already negative gruntle (this is actually not hugely unusual; the words disembowel and disannul, for instance, are formed the same way).
The positive sense of gruntled is a modern backformation, working back from disgruntled, mostly used in client management (sometimes as regruntled) to describe the fruits of successfully resolving complaints.
But, as with wieldy, it's likely you never use it.
And there's a reason for that...
Words Don't Sound Right
You see, there are loads of words in the English language – like, dozens at least – and in many cases several words for each concept (even synonym has a synonym!), and those words are in competition for the limited bandwidth on our gristly human vocal cords. When it comes down to it, which word do you reach for to describe a thing?
In practice, it seems like you reach for the word that sounds right, or at least sounds best for the purpose. The reason we don't talk about things being wieldy is that it just doesn't sound comfortable. It has that awkward rounded EE-y sound, and that tricky little L, and for a word that specifically describes something as easy and manageable, it just doesn't seem fitting. Unwieldy's a great word: there, the clumsiness of the word is a virtue; it just sounds awkward. But wieldy? Just doesn't sound like what it's describing. In much the same way, gruntled just sounds unhappy, no matter how you use it.
There are any number of words that behave like this; words that are still there in the English lexis, but which no-one really uses because frankly they're not very fit for purpose. Like restive, a really quite sedate-sounding word for "manic." Or enervated, a remarkably buzzy word for "drained" or "exhausted." Or pulchritude, which means "breathtaking beauty" and sounds rather like a skin condition.
In a few cases, words have even started to drift in meaning. We still use them, but we've just flipped their senses, creating contranyms; like peruse, which originally meant "to read closely" but these days more often refers to lightly skimming a text.
But I Hear Them All Moving Inside You
And the flip is true as well! Words that fit the purpose well seem to succeed and flourish. In fact, you'll often find – certainly within a given language – that certain sounds become associated with particular values, creating whole clusters of similar-sounding, loosely-related words. Note how unpleasant slug, slimy, slither, slick, slow, slush, and slurry all are, or how light and easy glint, glitter, glisten, glimmer, glamour, glad and glide are.‡ Strong somehow feels strong, with the harsh str- and the solid -ong; weak feels weak, with the soft w- and the attenuated -eak.
There's even a theory that this is where all language comes from, known as the Onomatopoeic Theory of Language, or just the onomatopoeic theory. The idea is that our earliest ancestors tried to convey ideas to each other with onomatopoeic noises – hissing to say snake, for instance, or whistling to say wind – and language gradually built up around this core, with the most evocative or apposite sounds surviving, becoming stylised and eventually forming the first words.
So is there anything to this theory? Are these sound-values I've noticed universal truths, or am I projecting onto them because I happen to know what the words mean?
Well, that turns out to be a bit of a topic of debate.
Go, I'll be Waiting When You Call
Why is that?
So Ferdinand de Saussure, the father of semiotics, insisted that the link between "signs" and "signifiers" – ie. between the sound a word makes (or the shape we draw on the page) and the sense we attach to it – was completely arbitrary; all that was required (or should be allowed, in the linguist's mind) is that the sign is unique to the signifier and that everyone sharing the use of that sign agrees on its significance. There's no "natural dogness" to the word dog, he said, and no "treeness" to the word tree.
And certainly that's the principle that linguistics has largely stuck to since. Similar-sounding words are regarded as sheer coincidence, or proof of etymological relationship, rather than universal human things. The onomatopoeic theory's largely been dismissed, often referred to (a little unkindly, I'd have said) as the "Bow-Wow Theory," or "Ding-Dong Theory," and we're all structuralists these days.**
But... there seems to be something to the idea that certain sounds – or signs – are more fitting than others. In 2001, Neuroscientists Vilayanur S. Ramachandran and Edward Hubbard created the "Bouba/Kiki" Experiment, modifying an older experiment by psychologist Wolfgang Köhler. Subjects were shown two shapes, one spiky and one bulbous, told the shapes' names were Bouba and Kiki, and asked which names applied to which shapes. Between 95% and 98% of respondents identified the spiky shape as Kiki and the rounded shape as Bouba, irrespective of their native language (the experiment was performed in English, French and Tamil). It seems like Kiki just sounds spiky, as Bouba sounds... blobby.
So... maybe we don't throw out the Bow-Wow with the bathwater? I dunno. Not my place, I guess. Let the linguists argue about it.
And Whenever I Fall at Your Feet
Either way, the upshot for you and me is that the words we use are often the ones that generations of English speakers loved the most and used the most often, or felt fit best; the ones they repurposed to fit better (or just to keep beautiful words in the language, doing new jobs); they pruned the uglier, ill-fitting words, and molded the best to serve them.
Ultimately, this is why I keep banging on about ignoring the prescriptivists. Because the language was created and shaped by people working on gut feeling, so trying to apply any sort of universal, arbitrary rules is never going to work. Beauty and utility are genuinely the best guides to the language, because beauty and utility are the criteria by which the language has been formed and cultivated, all these centuries...
As always, if you want to argue with me, or to chat about this shit, or to propose a topic for a future blog, let me know! Tweet us; Facebook us; let's have an argument/chat.
*Yeah, that happens to me more often than you might think.
†Yeah, I got a double-negative post coming for you soon, I promise.
‡Beautifully, Anglo-Saxon poetry largely ignores rhyme schemes in favour of alliteration (where a string of words start with the same letter or letters), precisely to take advantage of this phenomenon, so that the Rood (in the Dream of the same name) was both on lyft lædan, leohte bewunden ("raised in the air, enveloped in light") and forwunded mid wommum ("sorely wounded in iniquity"). Them Anglo-Saxons, they loved their alliteration.
**Except for Mama and Dada/Papa, which appear to be genuinely pan-human and which linguists absolutely love speculating about, which just goes to show, I guess.

Rubicon: The Triumph and Tragedy of the Roman Republic
by Tom Holland
by Tom Holland
Pat Anderson's review
Aug 02, 2012
Got this a couple of years ago and have read it about six times. I've always loved ancient Rome and have read a lot about the period covered in this book. So why do I keep re-reading it? Simply because it's the best book about this period I've seen. Not only does Holland tell the story, and the background, to the end of the Republic but he gives an insight into the characters and their motivations. He also draws a vivid picture of what Rome was like in the 1st Century BC. All sorts of little details, like the heated pools in the villas in the Bay of Naples, bring the story to life. Brilliant.

L.A. Clippers unified team response to Donald Sterling's alleged racist comments before game 4 of their first round NBA playoff series against the Golden State Warriors.
This is one of the problems with this . . . why are the other NBA players not protesting and boycotting also? It's the entire NBA being affected these comments . . . the Warriors should have been at center court in protest also. And (NBA players) don't be saying I wouldn't play for Sterling . . . cause you do play for him (as long you're wearing the logo). All NBA arenas should boycott and not just Staples Center (I'll bet those other owners would speak up then) . . . I'm not a Clippers fan . . . but I sure was pulling for those guys . . . you don't choose your owner. Sterling was embarrassed by his clique (friends) – most likely it could include other sports team owners – (could be your team next).
" you don't choose your owner"……… and there it is

What it all comes down to is - You are who you are. He has no one to blame but himself! The only bonds that tied this man are the ones that he put on himself. We live in a great time, we can choose where to live, where to work, and whom we marry. others in the world don't have these choices, so to feel sorry for this man is to feel sorry for yourself.

Let's see the first crime was putting a 15 yr old in jail. The system is a crime. There was a disservice in his life by his family first, then the legal system. He needed a true opportunity not to be used by opportunist that flaunted his situation and vulnerability, the desperate women, the media. He needed the time to adjust, he was still a 15 yr old, never had any other life but jail. It's amazing how compassionate some people choose to be, let's choose to be compassionate for all people. From what I see he didn't commit any crime, he was upset about his brother, where is the crime in that whether he was a gang member or not. It was a human response, did he get revenge, plan it, beat the woman to death, no, article just stated a glossed over view of what truly happened. NOTHING! Where is the compassion?

#18 Nov 18, 2008
What the article doesn't say is whether the people who shot his brother have been caught or are they even bothering to look for them? It's way easier to round up the parole violators than go after the real criminals who are running the streets. This guy is representative of many who are sitting in prison. Usually they get out and flounder around trying to make a life with all kinds of baggage the system has strapped them with. This guy got a hand up, but they put him on a pedestal that he just couldn't balance on yet. It is not a pretty world out there for an ex-inmate. In fact it's no longer a pretty world for most people. And the worst part is we are tarnishing it ourselves without even realizing it. We look down on people like this plus the homeless, the mentally and physically challenged, and anyone who doesn't quite fit out "perfect little model" of who we think "we are".

Ultimately, he needs to take responsibility for the hot-head temper that brought him back. It's terrible that his wife decided to terminate a sick baby in utero-where was his input?

Do the crime, do your time.We all have life stress, death, joblessness, relationship twists.Is there a group to join to show cons how to grow up? Be a man and do the right thing instead of fulfillinf selfish needs? Dinner with Gov.

Oh my God I NEVER thought that I would be the one to defend anyone on this blog, maybe this dam election has caused me to try and be more civil, but look people, slam the guy all you want, but people make mistakes. Isn't is at least remarkable that
--He Accepted responsiblity for his actions
--He isn't blaming anybody but himself
--He admits that he had resources, people, and abilities that he squandered
--He knows what he needs to do and knows why he isn't doing it.
--He isn't blaming the popo, whitey, the deputies,the "man" the "system" for his troubles like most of them do
At least he is taking responsibility for his actions and he is coming out on record as stating that he blew it, which is more that you can say for the rest of the prison population.
A man like that is able to be rehabilitated because he has a conscience. That is worthy of a second or third chance in my world.
#32 Nov 18, 2008
Perhaps I should tell my 58 year old husband to commit a crime and go to prison. He can do his time, dine with the governor, see a therapist, get job offers, etc. Then if he decides to start beating me he can get all kinds of sympathy and a big write up in the paper. I know I sound cold, but I want the paper to write once in a while about the unsung heros. The men and women who go to work everyday, pay their bills and taxes, vote, serve in the armed forces, and through no fault of their own lose their jobs, or something even more precious to them, and yet manage to continue to be decent human beings and citizens who contribute to make things better.
I hope this guy stays in prison a long time. He deserves it for betraying so many people who believed in him.
#33 Nov 18, 2008
Perhaps that sick baby was going to cause the death of the other healthier baby. I am sure she didn't make the decision lightly. Afterall, she decided to terminate the child because it was sick.

Boo frickin hoo! Don't like being in jail? Quit breaking the law!! This clown isn't a hero or a role model - he is a criminal. He belongs in prison. Obviously he is unable or unwilling to live among the other law abiding citizens - so he needs to be kept in a cage. He had EVERY opportunity to learn from his mistakes and rejoin society - he chose to break the law (again). Good riddance!
