On Thursday, November 15th, Levi's Vintage Clothing (LVC) will launch "The Biker Exhibition" at their flagship store in San Francisco. The upcoming collection pays tribute to the rebellious nature and renegade style of the American biker. LVC honors their spirited and controversial legacy by inviting 12 international artist and illustrators to customize black leather motorcycle jackets using oil paint. The brand will also trace the cultural impact of Danny Lyon's 1968 photo-documentary, The Bikeraiders, presented through a collection of publications, photographs, and outtakes from Lyon's personal archive. If you can't make it to the LVC flagship on November 25, you'll have another chance to catch the collection later in the month in New York, and Tokyo in December.

My blog is fairly new and I just saw that one of my plugins has been indexed by Google. I didn't see any option in the SEO plugin to exclude specific folders from being indexed.
Is there any way to deal with this issue using the WordPress SEO plugin? I thought that was one of the purposes of the indexation feature.

OMG!!! Consortium announced!
I <3 this thread.
my guess as close enough!
Thanks bud for the reminder about the Kodak Times Square Sign images.
Ask me again when all's well and nearly done.
Adam Sandler!
So true updated.
Only one step away from a weekend meeting.
Cosortia merge then take the patents for a minimum bid.
Share Kodak among themselves save money make money and move on.
Yea ok Roger,
You still living on that Island?
Fantasy Island that is!
I think it would be smart to sell just after the open.Any shorts will be killed and the price will be driven higher than the UPPER BOLLINGER BAND. Which is a sell signal in my book: maybe sell 90% and hold a kicker just in case.
Samsung sold nearly twice the number of smartphones as Apple in Q2.
The stakes are huge and the two consortiums are the equivalent of corporate gladiators about to step into the coliseum.
This battle is epic!!
Its good VS Evil!
can we super-pin this thread to the top all weekend?
that's my request.
Holt Crud Batman!!!
"Money manager Ken Luskin says that the size of such a patent buy with Kodak could 'blow your socks off,' and Christopher Marlett of IP-specialized MDB Capital told an AP reporter that "There is an all-out nuclear war right now for global dominance in smartphones, tablets and mobile devices, and Kodak has one of the largest cache of weapons sitting there."
Pro has been right from the beginning
At least 0.50 right

Tim Loehmann seemed to already have his gun unholstered and ready to fire coming out of the vehicle.
Who are all of these people Tamir is aiming at? 1 passerby, he just mostly ignored, as he did the 911 caller in the gazebo, and he eventually left. In fact, there doesn't seem to be a deluge of people even at this park.
Also, why would you pull what seems to be 2-3 feet away from a suspected dangerous threat? Do I have to be a cop to know that's just a blatantly stupid idea and in no way part of proper tactics in dealing/negotiating with a supposedly armed suspect?
Are the yee-haw racist cousinhumpers online still going to tell me that Tim Loehmann told him "Hands on your head!!" THREE TIMES?? It proves that people only see what they want to see, as the elapsed time (giving the cops the benefit of the doubt) on the screen clock from the time they appear on the screen to the time they shot him in the chest was 3 seconds and some change. That means that they only had two seconds to reel off three (according to the report) "HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!" commands. NOT HAPPENING.
The kid looks like he's just confused as to what to do, which would likely happen if cops stormed up on you yelling random things and you're in your own little world, as a 12 year old likely would be.
Why are they just standing over him doing nothing?
This was a fucking drive-up 2A Death Sentence by a severely incompetent and untrained LEO.

AW, the Cwevewand Powice got their widdle feewings hurted!
This week, it was Cleveland wide receiver Andrew Hawkins, who wore a T-shirt reading "Justice for Tamir Rice and John Crawford III" during pregame warmups and introductions:
Tamir Rice, age 12, died last month after Cleveland police shot him while he was waving a pellet gun. John Crawford III was shot in an Ohio Wal-Mart earlier this year while holding an air rifle. Both cases have drawn scrutiny because of the uncertain and questionable reasons behind the shootings.
The message didn't go over so well with the Cleveland police department. "It's pretty pathetic when athletes think they know the law," said Cleveland police union head Jeff Follmer, per a local Cleveland journalist. "They should stick to what they know best on the field. The Cleveland police protect and serve the Browns stadium, and the Browns organization owes us an apology."
If the Browns follow the same path as other teams whose players have taken public stands on social issues, there will be no apology.
Rrrrrrrrigghht, because opening fire and performing drive-bys on men and children with pellet guns completely follows the letter of the law . . . which, in both cases, the LEOs will get off scot-free.
Hey, as soon as you fellers admit that "Open Carry" is only for white folks, you might get a "sorry". But until then .. . .

My friend just lost her job as an Analytical Chemist.
I mean, it makes sense when you think about it.
I'm guessing "Analytical Chemist" must be along the lines of "assembly line worker" or some run-of-the-mill redundant career choice like that, as throwaway and replaceable as "applications programmer", "mechanical engineer", "physicist", "financial analyst" or some other burger-flipper-level job.
After all, it was folly to think that 8 years of college would yield a long-term career path . . . . "Chemist" . . . pffffffft! What a poor choice. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, you know? Come on, why didn't she pick "Hedge Fund Manager", or "CEO" or start her own business??
It's more than feasible that, at age 48 and with no income stream coming in and bills that are due now, that she could . . . retrain, head back to college and pick a smarter career path . . . work really, really, really harder and she just might GET that awesome new job. Millions of workers in the '60s - '90s did it, why is she such a special snowflake? And if a reduction in force so that major shareholders can purchase that third mansion should happen again, then retrain again. And again! You should never stop learning or trying to find that cheese in the maze, even if someone continually moves it. NO EXCUSES!!
If you don't have the prognostication skills of a career counselor to tell what the hot occupations are going to be 5-10 years down the road (planned obsolescence, economy or plain bad luck be damned), then you, my friend, are missing out and need to get some. This great meritocracy of ours doesn't guarantee equal results, equal fairness or equal pay . . . only equal opportunity that you can either get on board with or starve to death under a bridge. YOUR CHOICE!!
as if it needs to be said.

Wynn Resorts probed on money-laundering controls (Haa haaaaa)
Federal authorities are investigating whether casino operator Wynn Resorts Ltd. violated money-laundering laws, according to people familiar with the matter.
The criminal probe comes as U.S. authorities step up their scrutiny of casinos efforts to prevent money laundering. Regulators have long been concerned about vulnerabilities at casinos, which are complex financial institutions that conduct a large amount of cross-border and cash transactions. Wynn, which is run by casino entrepreneur Steve Wynn, is the third major Las Vegas casino company in recent years known to be investigated for possible violations of money-laundering laws.
Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts (their stock rose nearly a thousand percent at one point since 2009), frequently makes boilerplate CNBC-ready statements about how President Obama is "bad fer bizness in general". Well, I guess we know how they're doing so well . . . .

Dumb letters to the PD Dept: "You guys have it WAAAAAY BETTER!!"
Liberal economist Paul Krugman is chief spokesman for the "income inequality" crowd. In his column "Ostentation, your ship has come in thanks to changed economic times" (Forum, Sept. 28), he presses his theme that the super-rich have fattened up at the expense of the middle class. But he disproves his own thesis by harking back to the 1950's, when, he says, because of higher taxes, tycoons had more modest lifestyles than today's nabobs.
The fact is the middle class lives infinitely better today than in the 50's, even though that was a decade of unprecedented prosperity. I was there. If my father, who died in 1959, could come back, he would be astounded by our houses - mile after mile of homes that only rich people would have dreamed of then; our cars - an SUV and sedan in most garages; our restaurants; our vacations, summer cottages, winter homes and RVs; our clothing - one child's clothes would fill all the closets in our old house; our school-age children walking around with smart phones and so on.
Krugman highlights yachts. Have you seen a yacht in any of the Lake Erie marinas? I haven't, but thousands of pleasure craft. What plutocrats own those? What about golf courses?
Sure, he could give you statistics that incomes have stagnated, but what would you expect when the labor force has increased by the entry of so many women?
If our way of life is threatened, it is not because of income inequality, but because the next generation may think they have a constitutional right to start the day with a $4 cup of coffee.
John Duffy,
Avon Lake
And from my city, no less. Classic.
It's like he's living in an imagined world where the American middle/working/poor classes are just living SO high off the hog and economic opportunity is in abundance and job security has never been better and we're with the jet set in Dubai and . ... luxuries like cellphones for kids abound . . .. because reasons.
His sentence about yachts and golf courses .. . . . . yeah, anyone got a google map to that point?
. .. . Of course, if you read the comments, I responded in kind.

"Why stop at $10 an hour? Why not raise it to $50 or $100 or $1,000 dollars an hour??"
Of all the ridiculous strawmen the Republicans come up with, regarding the much, MUCH needed raise to the federal minimum wage, this has to be one of the most idiotic.
It's not only being tossed by every Homer, Jabez and Bertha Sue chiming in on the wingnut-laden internets, it's the go-to of right-wing pundits (Kevin O'Leary) and even supposedly educated economists (like Lindsey Piegza, for instance).
But hey, as long as we're playing this card, you know, why not LOWER the minimum wage to 4 bucks an hour?
How about TWO an hour (while I'm being facetious, jerks like Peter Schiff are for real with that figure)? Hey, why hold back and just simply demand workers PAY their businesses for the privilege of working there???
It's re-branded Feudalism, regressive and immoral, that's why.
More buying power in the hands of people who need to spend every dime is simply a smarter long game for economic health, and pretending tax cuts are a viable substitute for an increase in a sustained income is the folly of the Von Mises set.
I'm not sure when we became a nation of greedy, hateful pigs, but I do remember a time when a business took pride in not only their workmanship, but in the fact that they were creating jobs in their community. They gave people a purpose and a living wage. It allowed a person the dignity of being self-sufficient and the security of taking care of themselves and their family. In return the company got dedication, loyalty and a product or service that others wanted to buy. Henry Ford, one of the country's biggest manufacturing icons made a point of making sure that his employees earned enough to buy a car. Today, we have Walmart workers, who despite working full time are so poorly paid that they have to rely on taxpayer subsidized food stamps, welfare and Medicare totaling more than $1 million per store.
So, it's interesting that the recent news of job market 'improvement' doesn't mention that of the ten occupation categories projecting the greatest growth in the next eight years, only one pays a middle-class wage. Four pay barely above poverty level and five pay beneath it, including fast-food workers, retail sales staff, health aids and janitors. The job expected to have the highest number of openings is 'personal care aide'--taking care of aging baby boomers in their houses or in nursing homes. The median salary of an aid is under $20,000. They enjoy no benefits and about 40 percent of them must rely on food stamps and Medicaid to make ends meet, plus many are in the 'shadow economy,' vulnerable to being cheated on the already miserly wages.
That means the father or mother with a couple of kids, now looking at the degree they have from some university they probably still owe money to, is going to take whatever they can get to pay for the roof over their head and to put food on the table. They may even need to take two. It also means that the boomer couple who lost their pension, 401k, savings, and home value as a result of the felonious acts of the same corporations who are now opposing a living wage, isn't going to retire when they thought they would and will be looking into landing one of those jobs. That's who members of Congress are giving the finger to. People do what they need to do to survive. It's been that way since the beginning of time and this country has proven time and time again that when the going gets tough, the tough get going, but the argument and the opposition to allowing people a living wage for full time work is frankly embarrassing.

Explain This To Me Like I'm a Complete Idiot, Part 14: A Tale of Two Small Businessmen.
I have two friends (old classmates, to be specific) on Facebook that are small businessmen.
One owns a web solutions company, which is around a $5-10 million/year business.
The other, not so sure; I think it has to do with energy, but I do know that he has affiliates in Dubai and Singapore . . . so again, not doing too shabby for the most part.
Both veer on the righter of the right-wing political ruler. One posts frequent links to Kevin OLearys screeds against raising the minimum wage in this country, stating it would cause him and his poor business that runs on margin to lay off workers as everyone elses salaries would rise along with it (uh, yeah, thats kind of the point if you want Capitalism to continue and not drown in a morass of debt). Hes also a Flat tax fan; as most higher-income people are, since theyd make out like bandits. His business pays salaries for talent that command much higher than minimum wage, so what does he care?
The other is far more batshit and blames just about everything under the sun on Chairman Maobama; very anti-government, very anti-regulation, very anti-anything that makes life an atom-speck fairer for workers, and also very much against raising the minimum wage. Hes a genuine Red-Baiter and False Dilemma-tosser extraordinaire. Its kind of bizarre that someone who was an honor student in HS could be so amazingly idiotic politically.
Where am I going with this?
Well, just last week, Captain RedBait was online posting photos of the BOAT he just purchased. Not a yacht, but certainly no skiff.
As for Major Seven-and-a-Quarter an Hour Forever, he posted photos of his two week vacation with his family of four in Italy. Were not talking just one part either they visited at least four cities.
So . . . these two are crying poor (and obviously want everyone else to remain that way, so long as they arent), but at the same time, taking Italian vacations with their family and buying boats?
Explain this to me like Im a complete idiot: Exactly how does this reconcile?

Dumbest Columnist on the Planet Tries to Build Bridges, Ends up Burning Them (College Costs):
A 2% solution to a host of college problems: Kevin O'Brien:
This is his grand solution to curbing college costs that's designed to please the commie lib'ruls . . . I think . . .
A much more effective way to attack the problem would be to ensure that colleges have some skin in the game the more, the better by paying them after the fact and allowing the marketplace to determine the worth of a college education, one graduate at a time.
The incoming freshman would agree to repay the college for his or her higher education at a fixed percentage of the student's gross earnings for a fixed number of years. Say, 2 percent of income for 25 years.
The problem of crushing student debt is immediately solved. When the student graduates and gets that first job at what should be the lowest earning level of his professional life, he will also face the lowest college repayment level: 2 percent of very little is very, very little. Twenty-five years later, when the former student is the executive VP of a multinational company, 2 percent of a whole lot will still be a very reasonable price for the happy graduate to pay and a tidy raw-dollar sum indeed for Dear Old State U.
First, the college has to choose wisely. If it contracts with marginal students who lack direction or motivation, it's likely to lose money on them. Then, the college has to make sure students don't lose their way during school. It has to make sure they learn truly useful things well. As graduation nears, the college is motivated to help the student land the best possible job at the best possible pay. It may even find ways to support the employed graduate with information and connections that make him a better (and better-paid) employee.
Colleges and universities would be quick to eliminate courses, majors, even entire academic departments that offered insufficient return on investment. Some colleges and universities, finding themselves unable to compete, would disappear. That is not a bad thing. America is way over-colleged, hence the expensive, wasteful competition on creature comforts to lure freshmen, since the quality of undergraduate education is pretty much the same everywhere.
Once colleges eliminate departments and majors that don't move graduates into jobs worth a college education, businesses will recover the skills of screening their own applicants. That would put an end to Americans' patently ludicrous notion that every job more exalted than fast-food worker requires a degree.
OK, so from what I'm reading:
Colleges are corporate farm clubs.
Public money going to colleges are a bad thing (as opposed, of course, to public money going in the pockets of the Kochs) that cause tuitions to rise. Yeah.
The Arts and Social Sciences mean shiznit because they're not economically quantifiable, so we should just get rid of them.
STEM, Business and Finance Majors are the only things worth studying; everything else is just a hobby.
In 25 years, it's guaranteed that a college graduate will be an executive VP.
Every kid at the age of 18-19 knows EXACTLY what they want to do.
You wouldn't need 25 years of funding to pay professors NOW or anything.
Our job markets are ALWAYS awesome and accommodating to those with college degrees and those without.

SUPAH Dumb Letters to the Plain Dealer, Vol. 378973: "ALINSKY! ALINSKY! RUN FOR YER LIIIIIIVES!!"
Why does the Pain Dealer give a voice to coprophagic paranoid nutjobs like this? Saul Alinsky?? Rules for Radicals?? COME on. The usual culprits are here . .. mostly extreme red baiting and projection a mile wide. Probably watches a lot of Dinesh D'Souza.
Funnier than Terry's whack-a-doo bullshit list is that he goes out of his way in the comments section to defend and exacerbate what he just pulled directly out of his ass. What kind of loons are we breeding in the suburbs??
Watch for his name . .. wouldn't be surprised if it's the next one you see in the DV/gun spree headlines . .
Patrick Lake's July 13 letter to the editor, "Nation's too dumb to appreciate Obama," is a gross misstatement of President Obama's real intentions. Obama makes statements that deceive ones like Patrick into believing he has good intentions, but his real intention is to follow the eight-step plan expressed by Saul Alinsky in his book "Rules for Radicals." Obama is well-schooled in these steps to transform America into a socialist state:
First is government controlled health care and second is poverty. The influx of illegals continues to his delight knowing it will help increase poverty and allow people control. Third is to increase debt to an unsustainable level. Fourth is gun control. Remove guns and create a policed state.
Fifth is welfare, government control of food, housing and income, also a U.N. desire supported by Obama. Sixth is education control, what we read, view and listen to. Shut down all opposition sources. Seventh is to remove the belief in God from government and schools, loss religious freedom. Eighth is class warfare. Divide the people into wealthy and poor (tax the wealthy to support the poor).
The title should have been, "A nation too dumb to understand Obama's deception and real agenda." Wake up America.
Terry L. Davis,

During the inspection my mechanic pulled the oilpan off because the oil pan gasket was not set properly and the oil pan bolts were finger tight. He found that in the bottom of the supposed rebuilt motor there was oil sludge and dirt still in the bottom of the oil pan. So with further inspection he found 2 head bolts broken off in the engine block. The engine head had to be pulled off to tap & drill broken head bolts out. when he pulle head he found pistons still with carbon.
I called Engine World USA they told me it was impossible that all ther engines had new parts and are completly new inside.The Motor won't even start.
It is very apparent that I was sold a used motor out of a junkyard that was just cleaned and painted on the exterior. And all the fluids drained to ship.
I called engine world back and got no where and hung up on.
So now I'm stuck with a 1600.oo junkyard motor a thousand dollar labor bill for the mechanic to do his part.

So I went for my rescheduled child support hearing today. The father called on the phone. So annoying I hate courts. I basically sat there for 30 mins to just state my name address and SS#. Then they spent the whole time talking to him. Its like they can do the whole thing with out me if they wanted. Uggh He had nerve to say he sent me support before and he stopped. He sent me two checks before she was 6 months old and they both together didnt even amount to $200 and he sent me ONE package in the mail that contained snacks for her (dont ask I dont even know why he went threw all that) and ONE package for her 1st Xmas. He makes me soo angry! And they told him if he wanted a DNA test he would have to go about it on his own and he would have to pay for it since he signed the awknogelment at the birth. He wont go about it because he KNOWS shes his, he just thought he could buy himself more time if he could pull out as many road blocks as he could. MEN ARE SUCH A-HOLES! Any way he has to send me a weekly check of $25 since he is only working part time which I guess is better then nothing I can at least get her snacks and chocolate milk for the week with that. And he has the next 8 weeks to look for a full time job and then were back in court in september. *Sigh* I just wish he would pull threw on his end of things. My daughter doesnt even know who he is and it bothers me that he wants to come and go as he pleases. Sorry just needed to share a lil frustration with you gals. Any comments or suggestions on the situation are welcomed! Thanks Ladies.
Child Support Hearing today.
"Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of little children"
Comments (5)
100 dollars a month ??? And if you were not here as primary support, where would your child end ???
Those court sessions are very draining, buy yorself snacks too !!
I have no suggestion, just wanted to support you a little !
Hey girl I was wondering what was going on with this. The court system is so jacked up. At least your BD showed to court. Mine didn't bother to show up to either one of the court dates but that alright because all he did was piss off the judge and she awarded me 280 dollars a month in support. Hopefully, when he finds a fulltime job the support will go up to an amount that your daughter could really live off.
Paquita, mommy to my beautiful honeybunny.
Have a blessed day!!
I can see my future now...yay. Why can't men just live up to the fact that they made these babies...I am a man hater now. Mine lives up to it but he is too "scared" to talk to me...I think he is afraid if we talk then he will give in to something I say. Why are men so stupid!?
Men really are stupid sometimes. And selfish. They don't realize how much our lives change and how much self-sacrifice (in terms of extra spending money, extra time, etc) that we give for our children and it's maddening that they're off running around doing as they please without a care in the world. Let me tell you, I only work part time as well...and my baby's not even born yet, but I've spent more than $25/week on him. And almost nothing he has is brand new...becuase I can't afford it.
I got a crib, dresser, changer at a garage sale, bouncer on ebay, clothes at a garage sale, extra carseat handed down from a friend (this one will be for my mom...I'm going to buy a new one for myself). It's just frustrating, every extra cent I have goes to buying stuff for the baby. And SD just doesn't get it.
M (proud mama) to my little E (born January 2010)
~While we try to teach our children about life, our children teach us what life is all about~
Only comment I have is it will take awhile for the following statement to go away. it's maddening that they're off running around doing as they please without a care in the world. For me at least it did, my son is now 4 and I still get mad that BD isn't around to lend a hand. (But i also wonder if lending a hand would be more trouble than it's worth)

Often, expectations are dashed when the next morning arrives, but in this case, everything was exceptionally good. The price is reasonable, accommodation charming, very comfortable, and the food is marvelous. Can't ask for more.

We particularly enjoyed the lively breakfast conversations with the other guests and both innkeepers. The table settings and the breakfasts were wonderful and not the usual fare we have had at inns in the past. Having the windows open at night and hearing the train whistle and the birds in the morning was a bonus, too!

Everything about the Inn was fantastic. We stayed two days for a wedding on the weekend of August 23rd. We woke up each morning able to enjoy a cup of hot coffee in our room, followed by another hot cup at the breakfast table, enjoying orange juice, fruit, eggs, and sausage. It felt more like staying with family, enjoying conversations with not only the owners, but the other guests. I love this place!! Can't wait to come back!!

My wife and I have stayed at several Bed and Breakfast. This is by far and I mean far the best B&B we have ever stayed at. Paul and Lee are great host and hostesses. The atmosphere is great, the rooms are tremendous, and the porch is wonderful to just sit and watch the town activities. When we return that way we will be staying there again.

The Acadamy Street Inn and it's owners Paul & Lee Fopeano made our fist trip to Maine one of our most pleasant memories. A great location for touring Maine an New Hampshire. Breakfasts were superb in both food quality and presentation. We highly recommend the inn! Bob & Janet Schultz (NC)

Our first trip to the east coast and first B&B experience will not be our last. Paul and Lee are delightful hosts. The home is beautiful, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The breakfast is visually elegant and very tasty. If you want to be near the sea for day trips yet removed enough for peace and quiet...this is the place. Thanks so much Paul and Lee. Hugs to Phoebe.

Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article

Clooney's 'Monuments Men' recounts battle to save art
What might have been a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" period romp through or "Inglourious Basterds"-style re-imagining of World War II-era themes is instead a nostalgic but lethargic ode to conventional star-driven and old-fashioned storytelling.
The real contribution of "The Monuments Men," co-written, co-starring and directed by George Clooney, is bringing to light the efforts of archivists, curators and historians — eight in the film but hundreds in real life — who worked to recover and protect paintings, sculptures and other works of art stolen by the Nazis, as the war in Europe raged around them. »Read Full Article(2)

Check Engine light: what to check, common problems, repair options
It's the source of anxiety faced daily by many motorists: the Check Engine Light.
It means that the computer in your car has detected a problem with one of the systems that affect exhaust emissions. How expensive is the repair? Is it a minor glitch or serious problem? Is it safe to drive? To find the answer to these questions you will need to have your vehicle scanned and properly diagnosed.
It's not that difficult, many car dealers and repair shops deal with these problems every day. There are stores that may offer to scan your car for free. There are also a few things that you can check on your car yourself, but first, let's see how it works.
Your car has a computer called Powertrain Control Module or PCM that controls your vehicle's engine, transmission and emission control systems. There is a number of electronic sensors that monitor various systems. If the signal from any of the sensors moves out of expected range for a certain period of time, the PCM detects a fault, turns the Check Engine light on and stores the code related to the fault in its memory.
Start by answering these questions and follow the link.
1. Is the Check Engine light flashing repeatedly? Yes No
2. Is your gas cap closed properly? Yes No
3. Does your engine have enough oil? Yes No
4. Has the Check Engine light came on soon after you had your car serviced? Yes No
Is it safe to drive with the Check Engine light on?
It depends on what the problem is. Some problems are minor and won't affect your vehicle's performance, but in other cases, driving with the Check Engine light may cause more damage to your vehicle. In worst cases, a car may stall or lose power unexpectedly. To be on the safe side, we recommend to have your car checked out as soon as possible.
What are the repair options?
A technician at at a dealership using a scan tool
Dealers have factory-trained technicians that are familiar with common problems in their cars and have manufacturer-provided technical support. They have access to proper testing equipment and up-to-date repair information for your car. Dealers use OEM (original) parts that in some cases are updated to improve reliability. On the downside, repairs at a dealership tend to be more expensive when the car is out of warranty.
Independent or franchise repair shops are usually less pricey, but a lot depends on the professional level of technicians, availability of proper testing equipment, latest service information and quality of replacement parts.
Brand-specialized shops
Another popular option is to take your car to an independent shop or a mechanic that specializes in your vehicle's brand. This is especially true for German or other European cars, since they have more complex electronics.
Do it yourself Of course, there is always a DIY option. if you have sufficient mechanical knowledge and proper tools, all you need to start is to scan your car and find out the trouble code (DTC). Thanks to generous people that don't mind sharing their knowledge, there is plenty of information, how-to guides and videos available on the internet.
Where to scan your vehicle for free
Some auto parts stores and independent auto repair shops offer to scan your car for free, in hopes that you will buy parts or do the repairs at their shop. Google 'free check engine light scan' + ' your town' to find a shop that will scan your car for free. Some dealers and repair shops offer a free Check Engine light scan as a seasonal promotional. The Volvo Service for Life program, for example, includes up to one hour of computer diagnostics. Another option is to ask your friends and relatives. OBD-II scan tools are not very expensive and widely available. Many people have a scan tool in their households these days.
What are the common problems that can cause the Check Engine light?
There are hundreds of potential faults that can cause the Check Engine light, but several problems are fairly common. They include vacuum leaks, mass airflow sensor issues, misfiring, catalytic converter problems, Evaporative system (EVAP) leaks, oxygen sensor issues and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system problems. Read more: Common problems that can cause the Check engine light.
The Check Engine light flashing repeatedly
If the Check Engine light is blinking repeatedly, it means that the engine computer has detected that your engine 'misfires', or some of its cylinders are not working properly. Driving with a misfiring engine could damage your catalytic converter, which is an expensive part. If you check your owner's manual, it will probably suggest to reduce power and have your vehicle serviced immediately by your authorized dealer.
Is your gas cap closed properly?
The Check Engine light might also come on if your gas cap is not closed tight. In some cars, the string that holds the cap might get caught in the cap's thread and prevent it from sealing. If you did find that the gas cap wasn't tight, close it properly and if there are no other problems, the Check Engine light will reset by itself after a day or two of driving. If the gas cap was tight, there is probably some other problem.
Do you have enough oil in the engine?
The low oil level also can cause the Check Engine light to come on. Driving with low oil level can actually damage your engine. Your owner's manual describes how to check the engine oil level in the 'Maintenance' section. Read more here: Easy car maintenance checklist with illustrations.
The Check Engine light came on soon after the car was serviced
If the light came on soon after the vehicle was serviced, it's reasonable to have the same shop re-check your car. Whether the problem is related to the last service or not, it's a common practice for reputable repair shops to assist their loyal customers as much as possible in cases like that. The repair cost will depend on the cause.
Emission warranty
A federal emission warranty covers major components of the emission control system such as the engine computer (PCM) and the catalytic converter for the period of 8 years or 80,000 miles (128,000 km in Canada). If your car has the codes related to the failed catalytic converter (e.g. P0420, P0421, P0430) check the emission warranty coverage details with your dealer.

TOKUSHIMA (FIBA Asia Championship) - Asian Games silver medalists Qatar and Kazakhstan booked their places in the Round 2 of the Championship, posting their second successive wins in Group 'C', on Sunday.
Qatar left Indonesia way behind in recording an 86-45 win, but coach Edward Andrist sounded discontented.
"I thought we were a little too impatient in our shooting especially after taking a lead," he said, in his post match conference.
"That's exactly a factor I'd worried about even before the match. In games like these, it's bound to happen that we lose focus once we've built up a lead. I thought we could have done a lot better in our outside shooting, especially in the later parts of the match," he went on.
Qatar managed at least an eight point advantage in each quarter break-up scoring, with the best coming up at the end of the second. An early 9-0 spree, with Daoud Daoud impeccable on the paint as well as from the free-throw line, provided the ideal platform for Qatar to march ahead. Daoud continued to perform, sharing top score honours with Erfan Saeed, as Endrist chose to utilize his bench to the maximum extent.
"I thought our defense was far better than yesterday. I can now confidently say defense is what we want to be known for. And in a Championship like this, defense is what will win us the title," he declared.
Indonesian coach was rather modest in his assessment.
"We knew we had no chance against a team like Qatar," said Roring Fictor. "But our purpose of coming here is to learn. We have the SEA Games coming up later this year. Playing against strong teams like these will help us play better at the Games," he added.
Qatar 86 (Daoud Daoud 14, Erfan Saeed 14, Yassen Musa 12) bt Indonesia 45 (Raka Cocorda 10). Quarterwise: 19-7, 47-19, 70-34.

The sump pump is one of the most important equipment in our house which is located in the deepest place in the basement. This tool is designed to serve the purpose of eliminating the ground water from the depth of the house. The sump pump is very necessary. If there is no sump pump, the water can come up the ground and flow. Your house can be flooded after a heavy rain. Therefore, it is frank to say that the best sump pump can keep your house secured. Although the sump pump is very beneficial for our life, we may not know exactly about how it works. Today, we will provide you the detailed information about the sump pump.
1. The pedestal pumps
The sump pump is one of the most important equipment in our house which is considered as the necessary. Due to the importance of the sump pump, the manufacturers usually have a tendency to give the birth of a huge number of the types of the sump pumps which are not only convenient but also cheap.
The pedestal pumps are the most common kind in the market. The motor of the pedestal pumps is attached to the small pedestal. The height of the pedestal pump is about 30 inches with either the pipe or the hose. These devices will be extended down from the motor to the pit's bottom. The float is on the rod of the separate metal. With the moving of the float, the level of the water will be raised or went down easily. This up and down movement is called as the float switch. In the event of the certain height, the float will activate the water and the motor to suck up throughout a pipe and eliminate it from another hose. The motor on the pump is not located under the water. The switch will always work before the level of the water comes up to the pup's bottom.

Manufacturer: Big Horn (View all products by Big Horn Saddlery)
Model: Haflinger Model 1579 (View all Haflinger Model 1579 reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle from a local tack store in 2002 for $679. It is the all leather haflinger saddle from Big Horn, not the part cordura one.
Likes: After much searching, this was the only saddle I could find for my mutton-withered gaited pony mare (13HH). It gives her the shoulder freedom she needs to perform her gait comfortably, without the rock of some gaited saddles or the bulk of a wide quarter horse type saddle. It a good looking saddle, and has a secure and comfortable suede seat. I love riding in this saddle!
Dislikes: The fenders are very stiff and it took awhile to get them broken in.
Quality: Excellent construction and quality - has held up well in the 6+ years I've had it, in fact still pretty much looks new.
Summary: I think anyone with a smaller, mutton withered horse should take a look at this one. It is a smaller saddle overall but generous in the wither/shoulder area.

Characterization of Single-Shot Large-Signal Phenomena
Device and PA Circuit Level Validations
Agilent Technologies Inc. announced several innovations for the 2014 release of its industry-leading suite of device modeling and characterization software tools. The suite comprises Agilent EEsof EDA's Integrated Circuits Characterization and Analysis Program (IC-CAP), Model Builder Program (MBP), and Model Quality Assurance (MQA).
"Over the past few years, we've steadily expanded our device modeling platform through internal development and acquisition of key technologies," said Brian Chen, Agilent's device modeling planning manager. "This marks the first release of our entire portfolio and represents a significant advancement toward our vision of being a partner that uniquely delivers a complete end-to-end, measurement-to-modeling solution."
The new software release features three advanced device modeling packages for Agilent's DynaFET, BSIM6, and BSIM-CMG models. BSIM6 is the industry-standard model for bulk MOSFETs, offering important improvements for analog/RF applications over its predecessor, BSIM4. BSIM-CMG is the industry-standard model for sub-20 nm 3-D FinFET technologies. Modeling solutions for both BSIM6 and BSIM-CMG in the 2014 release are designed to help the semiconductor industry understand and use these new technologies.
The DynaFET modeling package is based on internally developed technology and is an integral part of Agilent's GaN HEMT characterization, modeling and simulation solution. The GaN HEMT modeling package provides a GUI-based turnkey solution for DynaFET model generation.
Using artificial neural networks for charge and current formulations, and incorporating trapping/de-trapping and self-heating effects, the time-domain DynaFET model is capable of fitting accurately to DC, linear and large-signal measurement data—all simultaneously. This allows a single model file to be used for the design of different applications under various bias conditions, all with accurate simulation results.
The 2014 device modeling and characterization software release also provides a number of new and enhanced features designed to noticeably improve productivity across the end-to-end work flow of device characterization, model generation and model validation. These enhancements include:
Agilent's 2014 device modeling and characterization software release will be available in July.

An unabashed look at the art and necessity of grieving,
Ce commentaire fait référence ŕ cette édition : The Catcher in the Rye (Broché)
If you haven't learned to grieve, you've grown up too fast. Such is, in my opinion, the moral of Salinger's most famous story. Of course, if you read this book, wherever you are in your life, you might miss this point. In other words, it might be too late for you. It might be hard for you to laugh at some of Holden's jokes. You might find his sarcasm childish, if not altogether empty. When he does stop to think about his most painful memories, when he takes time to miss the people he has loved and somewhere inside still loves, you might find yourself shocked - too distracted to feel. Holden's perhaps 'childish' humor turns out to be your crutch as well. Leaving those places of pain and desperation might feel like a relief to you, and then you're glad to see him write 'goddam' and 'hell' all over the place, and maybe you're not so bothered by the eventual 'f.. you.' These are more familiar signs of the life you know - what's come to be acceptable as an adult in our don't-look-too-much-over-your-shoulder adult world. Chin up, eyes on the ball, move it move it! But if you're still growing up too slow, if the thought of those you grieve (or refuse to) leaves you too paralyzed to laugh at times, too bitter to not hear some words as angry affronts to the humanity of how you'd rather feel and live, too hollow to manage more than a squint at the forever burning sun, then this book might be the place you need. A place of grief, yes, of childish humor, yes, but also, if you'll let it: a place of love and life and living alive to love.

A fun romantic comedy.
(reviewed long after purchase)
Review by:
on Sep. 25, 2011 :
They say opposites attract and in "Love Handles" they certainly do. Bev Lewis, preschool teacher and self-professed "nice" person, inherits her recently deceased and long-time estranged grandfather's failing fitness wear company. Liam Johnson was his right-hand man and like a son to him, or so he thought, until he found himself left out of his will. Regardless, Liam loves Fite like it's his own company and can't bear to see it continue to fail, which he figures will happen for sure if a woman with no business experience at all takes the helm. He's convinced that he can get Bev to leave the running of the company in his capable hands. Recently out of a job, Bev wants to take on this new challenge and turn her grandfather's company around, but she knows she can't do it without Liam's expertise. Neither one expected to like the other, let alone be so attracted.
This was a fun contemporary romance with two very likeable main characters. While trying to prove herself to her family and save her company, Bev finds an inner strength that she never knew she had and Liam, while getting to know Bev, finds his softer side. Together they make a great pair. I wouldn't necessarily call this a romantic comedy, as I didn't find myself laughing, but it is definitely a solid romance.
If I could make one constructive criticism, it would be that someone re-proofread the book, as I found multiple typos throughout. These are not something that would be caught with spell-check, but they might with a grammar check. Most of the time it was a spelling error that resulted in a different (but real) word (like "his" instead of "this"). However sometimes it was a missing word (like "the") or other small grammatical errors. These mistakes didn't bother me nor do I feel they detracted from the story in any way, but I thought they should be mentioned in case it bothers some readers.
All in all I really enjoyed reading this book and would definitely read more by this author.

Ever since the takeover from Roman Abramovich back in 2003, a mountain of expectation has been put on the shoulders of Chelsea players.
Now they go into every campaign as title contenders, and when they fall short the fans that have been spoiled by a decade of success become disgruntled.
However last season the Blues came a very close third, and with the signings of Cesc Fabregas, Filipe Luis, and especially Diego Costa, they may possibly go all the way this time around.
Here are SIX things to expect from Chelsea this season…

Ginkgo Yellow Bowl with Three Leaves
Item Id:
0 Review(s)
Review this item
This bowl contrasts a calming g inkgo design paired with vibrant yellow and ochre glazes. intricate fan-shaped leaves are sculpted onto each hand-thrown piece. (5.9 inHx16.9 inD) Fortunata's G inkgo collection was inspired by the oriental g inkgo tree, symbol of longevity, resilience and peace. The graceful fan shaped leaves are skillfully sculpted onto each piece and then hand pa inted with a deep ochre glaze to create a dist inct object of sophisticated beauty for discrim inating tastes. < span>
< div>
To make these ceramics, clay is thrown and shaped by hand on the potter's wheel, then glazed in distressed high gloss ochre-yellow, leav ing portions of the terracotta bases and interiors exposed for textural contrast. For decorative use only. < span>< div>
< div>
ABOUT FORTUNATA POTTERY:< span>
Each Fortunata piece captures the tradition and charm of the ancient Tuscan workshops where the ceramics are skillfully hand thrown using a unique mixture of select clays. Every Fortunata piece is a unique comb ination of creative design and traditional skills. These pieces are imported directly from Italy. < span>< span>
*Evidence of handcrafted work includes the slight color and size variations making the pieces truly one-of-a-k ind and highly collectable. Perhaps the most important feature of the Fortunata collection is the unique, heavily distressed, antique look created by uneven glazing.< span>< div>

No excuses: education for refugee children in northern France's camps
I started my career as a teacher more than 20 years ago, with a Fellowship in an Oxford College. However I had always preferred classroom work with children and so I moved back to secondary education as soon as I finished my research.
Why we can't wait for educational equality
Teaching Leaders and The Future Leaders Trust have announced we are to join forces as one organisation. The reason for this decision is simple: by coming together we intend to improve the life chances of more of the most disadvantaged pupils in our country, and faster.
Be the leader you want to be, whatever your background
I knew I wanted to be a teacher from the age of seven. But it's taken more than ambition to get a black woman from a disadvantaged East End community to headship; particularly when motherhood came into the mix.
The most rewarding challenge
Sir Michael Wilshaw explains how good leadership in a school is absolutely fundamental to delivering good education for children.

APPA developed the Thought Leaders Series to conduct dedicated discussions on the future of higher education and the impact of that future on educational facilities. The annual Thought Leaders symposium convenes representatives of colleges and universities from across the United States and Canada alongside association leaders, industry consultants, and education experts. All Thought Leaders reports are free, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, and may be downloaded using the form below. 2016
Thought Leaders is a program of APPA's Center for Facilities Research. For more information about the Thought Leaders Series, contact:
Jack Colby, North Carolina State University, Thought Leaders Series chairperson
Lander Medlin, APPA executive vice president
The 2015 Thought Leaders Symposium, sponsored in part by long-time partner Jacobs, focused on the topic of Facilities & Technology: The Transformation of "Campus." Educational institutions that master new technologies will have an edge in the increasingly competitive higher education landscape. They will better serve learners and support instructors, and they'll make smarter use of limited resources and advance the safety and sustainability of the institution. APPA's 2015 Thought Leaders report discusses the factors related to integrating technology and the campus built environment; using technology to enhance critical campus functions; and integrating facilities management and information technology.
New technology will require new skills and new approaches to day-to-day tasks. The result will be a new campus for a new era, which will need to address the following needs:
The report includes a contextual introduction, a comprehensive section on using technology to enhance key campus functions, questions for further discussion, a lengthy resource section, and a list of participants.
APPA invites you to write an article or conduct research on topics related to the 2015 TLS report. Review the full list of article and research topics.
The 2014 Thought Leaders Symposium, sponsored in part by DTZ, a UGL company, and Jacobs, focused on the issues and challenges related to leveraging campus facility assets to achieve desired institutional outcomes. More than three dozen higher education leaders--including presidents, provosts, business officers, consultants, association executives, and facilities professionals--participated in a facilitated discussion and work session to examine the gap between where higher education wants to be and where it actually finds itself. Participants sought to identify the key characteristics of successful campuses, then looked at what institutions are actually achieving – the disagreeable reality of unsustainable funding models, unsuccessful students, and poorly utilized resources. The report includes an executive summary, strategies for improving institutional outcomes,a lengthy resource section, and the top facilities strategies to support the college or university:
The 2013 Thought Leaders Symposium, sponsored in part by DTZ, a UGL company, and Jacobs, focused on the topic of the rising cost of higher education. More than three dozen higher education leaders—including presidents, provosts, business officers, consultants, association executives, and facilities professionals—participated in a facilitated discussion and work session to identify, prioritize, and recommend solutions on the issues related to the cost of higher education. Contents include an executive summary, a discussion of the challenge of rising costs, a summation on colleges in crisis, comprehensive references, and the following top facilities issues:
The 2012 Thought Leaders Symposium, sponsored in part by DTZ, a UGL company, and Jacobs, identified major issues, trends, and recommendations related to the focused topic of space management and utilization in higher education. Included are the top critical facilities issues:
1. Align space management to the mission of the institution.
APPA's Sustainability Guide
APPA has also published a special report in our Thought Leaders Series – The Educational Professional's Practical Guide to Reducing the Campus Carbon Footprint. Sponsored by Affiliated Engineers Inc., this implementation guide gives educational facilities professionals a practical companion framework for moving forward in their unique role within the process of achieving environmental sustainability. The report helps facilities managers and sustainability coordinators maximize their specific contributions and work in tandem with other campus stakeholders to meet their institutions' goals of carbon neutrality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

New Jersey Daily Briefing;Trying to Discourage Layoffs
By TERRY PRISTIN
Published: May 13, 1996
TRENTON— Two Assembly committees will join forces today to consider how the Legislature might discourage corporate cutbacks. Members of the New Jersey Industrial Council, A.F.L.-C.I.O., are among those scheduled to appear at the joint session of the Labor Committee and the Commerce and Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. The unions are backing a bill that would require companies with more than 100 employees to pay workers dismissed for economic reasons two months of severance pay for every year of service.

|A dynamic explanation for the origin of the western Mediterranean organic-rich layers.
|Rogerson, M.;; Cacho, I.; Jimenez Espejo, Francisco J.; Reguera, I.; Sierro, F.; Martínez-Ruiz, Francisca; Frigola, J.
|Issue Date:
|American Geophysical Union
|The eastern Mediterranean sapropels are amongst the most intensively investigated phenomena in the palaeoceanographic record , but relatively little has been written regarding the origin of the equivalent of the sapropels in the western Mediterranean, the Organic Rich Layers (ORL's). ORL's are recognised as sediment layers containing enhanced Total Organic Carbon that extend throughout the deep basins of the Western Mediterranean, and are associated with enhanced total barium concentration and a reduced diversity (dysoxic but not anoxic) benthic foraminiferal assemblage. Consequently, it has been suggested that ORL's represent periods of enhanced productivity coupled with reduced deep ventilation, presumably related to increased continental runoff, in close analogy to the sapropels. We demonstrate that despite their superficial similarity, the timing of the deposition of the most recent ORL in the Alboran Sea is different to that of the approximately coincident sapropel, indicating that there are important differences between their modes of formation. We go on to demonstrate, through physical arguments, that a likely explanation for the origin of the Alboran ORLs lies in the response of the Western Mediterranean basin to a strong reduction in surface water density and a shoaling of the interface between intermediate and deep water during the deglacial period. This moves the emphasis for forcing deep convection collapse in the western basins away from atmospheric forcing and towards changes in the residence time of water in the Mediterranean Sea (i.e. oceanic forcing). Furthermore, we provide evidence that deep convection had already slowed by the time of Heinrich Event 1, and explore this event as a potential agent for preconditioning deep convection collapse. Important differences between Heinrich-like and deglacial-like influences are highlighted, giving insight into the response of the western Mediterranean system to external forcing.

Chekhov's Collectible
"One of the weirdest / saddest design exp I had: [Bioshock 2] playtesters carefully loot every container for hours, then report hating every moment."
-- Zak McClendon, Lead Designer on Bioshock 2
The car smashes through the glass front of Easy Credit Autos and I brake to a halt. I hop out of the car, run to the back of the showroom and grab the package. Nothing happens. No one wants this package. No one even gets upset at the damage, which will be repaired without fuss while I am away.
I was a moth to the dull flame of the hidden packages of GTA III (Rockstar, 2001), pieces of virtual tat that simply add one to a meaningless counter. I continued to burn rubber for hour after hour until I had found every last package.
They're just one example of the now ubiquitous collectible. Today I'd like to introduce the collective noun for the collectible: a fucking plague.
Talos, 3: Where The Words End, The World Ends
This is the final part of a three-part essay on The Talos Principle which includes commentary from writers Jonas Kyratzes and Tom Jubert. The first part and second parts were posted earlier this week.
"There was nothing here when I first arrived. Did you know that?"
After completing The Talos Principle, I immediately bought The Road to Gehenna. Whereas I played Talos over nine months, I was more aggressive in working through Gehenna, tearing through it in a matter of weeks... although I fear the word "tear" has overstated my skills. It would be more accurate to write I "oozed through it like syrup".
Gehenna is incredible. It's so good that I now tend to think of Talos as a prequel to Gehenna.
Spoilers for The Talos Principle and The Road to Gehenna follow.
Talos, 2: I Am The Words
This is the second part of a three-part essay on The Talos Principle which includes commentary from writers Jonas Kyratzes and Tom Jubert. The first part was posted yesterday.
"I see now that none of us are yet ready. The cycle exists so that we may improve ourselves. But the one who reaches the summit is not our superior, for they stand on our shoulders to reach it."
-- The Shepherd v82.6.0174
When I first saw the QR texts, I sighed. Jesus, not another game with it's-not-exposition-honest-guv graffiti on the wall! I initially paid little attention to them, reading them out of a completist need to do everything. But gradually I realised the walls held stories.
Spoilers for The Talos Principle follow.
Talos, 1: The Words Made The World
This is the first part of a three-part essay on The Talos Principle which includes commentary from writers Jonas Kyratzes and Tom Jubert.
"In the beginning were the Words, and the Words made the world. I am the Words. The Words are everything. Where the Words end the world ends. You cannot go forward in an absence of space. Repeat."
The most glorious moment in The Talos Principle (Croteam, 2014) is one that comes again and again. The moment occurs when a "sigil" is liberated from a devious puzzle, but the sigil itself is an empty token of advancement, the kind of dull trinket that games thrive on. No. The sigil has no power.
Turn around. Don't speed on to the next challenge, just stop. Turn around and survey the glorious red and blue stitchwork you've sewn across the puzzle. Look at this ingenious thing you have made and be proud.
Spoilers for The Infinite Ocean and The Talos Principle follow.
TV Games Are For Boys
This is the concluding part of The Petri Dish trilogy. The previous parts were on the inexplicable anger of complete strangers and the inescapable clutches of cynicism.
It seems I've been terrified for nearly three years.
The Conversation, 1: GTA is Proteus
"You look at AAA games and they're all about playing it safe," he said. "They're all about taking something that already exists and remaking it in a slightly different format. Watch Dogs is GTA plus Deus Ex. It's because you're trying to raise X amount of money to make these things because they're so expensive. But nobody knows what the Hell videogames are.
"Nobody knows what they're making."
Hypnosis in the Sand: Why Spec Ops Fails
When I read some fiction about a character, say he's called Dave, who did something terrible, I don't feel guilty about it. It's not my story, right? It's Dave's. And Dave is a piece of shit.
But what if the book forced you to act out what Dave did, go through the motions like some puppet? Would you feel guilty then? Would you feel like it was all your fault? Perhaps I should ask an actor.
And this here is THE LINE you should not cross if you want to avoid spoilers for third-person shooter Spec Ops: The Line (Yager Development, 2012) and the epic Immortal Defense (RPG Creations, 2007). Okay, maybe Penumbra: Black Plague (Frictional Games, 2008) too.
Screw Your Walking Simulators
It's while I'm pacing through the haunting, empty megalopolis of NaissanceE (LimasseFive, 2014) that it occurs to me. I've had enough of the derogatory phrase "walking simulators" even though some are attempting to adopt the term as a positive label. Ya know... that doesn't mean I have to like it.
This kind of crap goes a lot further than "walking simulator". Games have also been characterized negatively as toys. Or theme park rides. It's all about the magic ambrosia known as "interactivity" which is as well defined as a drop of water in a puddle, because "sitting, walking, listening, looking, playing, just fucking being is interaction".
Attempting to rigorously define interactivity is about as joyous as rigorously defining the word game into your preferred pigeon hole. You might see healthy debate in this conversation. I see a black hole event horizon through which my will to live is disappearing.
Anyway, that's enough of that. Especially as you've probably figured out that today I want to discuss "himitsu-bako".
#warningsigns: A Short Film About Videogames
A detective searches for answers after investigating a mysterious series of crimes. But the answers find him first.
#warningsigns is a short film about videogames and the future. Twitter has already issued its verdict:
"a subversive and challenging video about games, gamedev and journalism"
"interesting and unsettling, something I'll have to watch again"
"intelligent and masterfully crafted"
And Kieron Gillen has also put in a nice word. You should set aside fifteen minutes to watch the entire film. If you have the bandwidth and screen estate, please note you can watch at 1080p HD resolution. The film, preview screenshots and credits can be found below.
A year in the making. Turn out the lights and settle down. This is #warningsigns.
Stop Crying About Choice
In his epic Dark Souls Diaries series, Matt "Steerpike" Sakey wrote about a key moment when he felt guilty for killing an NPC he had intended to save. Sakey didn't have long to mourn. Rather than leave him to wallow in his misery, one commenter told him there was actually nothing he could do. Don't feel bad about it.
Player guilt is so easily destroyed, it seems, if we learn everything is a foregone conclusion. We are fascinated by what lies behind the curtain and the fear that the game might be making a fool of us, exploiting us through an illusion of agency. No one wants to be Stanley of The Stanley Parable (Galactic Café, 2013), the developer's puppet.
We crave the weight of consequence yet revel in its destruction. How do we make sense of this contradiction?

Hi all,
This is not a new error but after reading dozens of posts and trying a number of suggestions I'm still stuck and would appreciate any comments of information I can find.
After installing WP 2.31 on Windows 2000 Server with PHP 4.4.0 and MySQL 4.0.13-nt after have numerous versions of pre-2.31 WordPress I started getting calls from my IE users that they cannot login at the login screen and they get:
ERROR: WordPress requires Cookies but your browser does not support
them or they are blocked.
My Firefox users can get in with no problem.
I apologize in advance if I missed 'THE' thread that describes the solution or a workaround for this.
