Last year, EA tried something new: they released a number of titles based off brand new intellectual property. Perhaps, in hindsight, too many.
In an interview with Gamasutra, EA's Frank Gibeau has said:
I think in the spirit of your question, I think we launched too many new IPs all at once in Q3.
I would have spread them out and found better windows for them. I would have had longer marketing for them. The marketing cycles were fairly short. We didn't have enough assets to really build the fanbase, build the community, and get that long lead demand built.
So I probably in hindsight would have picked a couple different windows for Dead Space and Mirror's Edge.
In hindsight, yeah, I bet you would have. But you know, for all the people getting down on both those games...in the 6-9 months since their release, word has spread. Both were, for their quirks, excellent games (probably my two favourite from 2008, even). So when the sequels roll around, things will be different. People will be ready. Ready with money.

Culture Shock
Every story needs conflict. For the good to emerge, it must struggle valiantly against the often overwhelming bad. Christmas proves this rule, way back to the beginning. Jesus managed to avoid King Herod's infanticide net, allowing the young lad to grow up and say some stuff and do some things. Kris Kringle faced the perpetually unjolly at every turn and was denied bank loans for reindeer 12 times before securing a U.N. microloan. Don't even get me started on the guy with the mustache who wanted to steal Frosty's hat. Christmas has its share of grumpy baddies, so I welcome you to the Christmas Villain edition of Culture Shock to witness the transformative power of tiny beseeching children on green, miserly Republicans.
Performance Review
Dreaming of a White Trash Christmas
The Dolls present Christmas at the Yucca Vista
The gloom of recession is everywhere, and the holidays, rather than providing a respite from the powerful reality of the financial crisis, may seem to exacerbate it. People are losing their jobs. Bindles are replacing briefcases. It ain't pretty out there.
Art Schmart
Yes, We Can?
These days, even art might need a government bailout
The students, faculty and staff (myself included, as I work at the college's Fine Arts Gallery) at the College of Santa Fe are presently waiting to hear the fate of the private school, founded in 1859 by the Lasallian Christian Brothers. Last year's proposed buyout of the college fell through, and the short of it is that CSF needs a financial partner in order to remain solvent. By the time Christmas rolls around, the college may be on a path to becoming a part of New Mexico Highlands University or UNM, or perhaps on the path to closure—though, I think the latter scenario is doubtful. My vote is that CSF becomes a part of one of the state schools, retaining its continued focus on the arts, which I think is what the community at the college and greater Santa Fe are hoping for as well.

HEFFX Momentum British Pound
Momentum is a general term used to describe the speed at which prices move over a given time period. Generally, changes in momentum tend to lead to changes in prices. This expert shows the current values of four popular momentum indicators.
Stochastic Oscillator
One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic
Oscillator is 80.9859. This is an overbought reading. However, a signal is not generated until the Oscillator crosses below 80 The last signal was a buy 3 period(s) ago.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 46.03. This is not a topping or bottoming area. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a buy 29 period(s) ago.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
The CCI shows overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) areas. The current value of the CCI is 13. This is not a topping or bottoming area. The last signal was a buy 3 period(s) ago.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line. The last signal was a buy 2 period(s) ago.

DWTS Karina Smirnoff Makes Birthday Wish To Dance With Bronco Quarterback Tim Tebow
Be careful what you wish for! Last season Maks wished to dance with Hope Solo and the producers of Dancing With The Stars made it happen. Over the weekend, Karina made a birthday wish to dance with Bronco quarterback Tim Tebow. Below is more in a take from Haute Livng.
Not one to make much of her birthday, Smirnoff was surprised by close friends with an elaborate birthday celebration that began with dinner at the bustling brasserie. "All I want for my birthday is for Tim Tebow to dance on 'Dancing With The Stars,'" said Smirnoff. She then went on to say that as a New York native, she is a Jets fan, first. But, like many Americans, she was rooting for the Denver Broncos yesterday. "Tim Tebow played so hard," Smirnoff said, "and I know that so many fans all across the country are so proud of him!" With the Broncos and the Jets out of contention, she is now rooting for the New York Giants.
What's interesting, this isn't the first time Tim Tebow's name has been brought up. Last week, an insider to Hollywood Life reported that Tim would be asked to dance on Dancing With The Stars along with JWoww, Michele Bachmann, and Herman Cain. They also wrote Ron Paul and Rick Perry will get an invite too.
Sources close to the show tell HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that several big names, including Jersey Shore star JWoww, have already been approached. Additionally, football phenom Tim Tebow and former Republican presidential candidates Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain will be asked to join the fun. Furthermore, if Ron Paul and Rick Perry drop out of the presidential race, they will get an invite too!
My thoughts? I don't think any of the political figures above will dance like Miss Heidi posted in the comments of a previous post…but, you never know about "Tim Tebow" or JWoww? I'm not high on the Bronco's though and we'll never hear the end of it where I live if Tebow dances. 😯
By the way, be sure to visit the Haute Living link as they have more pictures and more info on Karina's birthday party over the weekend in Las Vegas including a cute picture of her and Mark Ballas. Thanks to DWTSSeason13 at facebook for the heads up.
So, what do you think of the names thrown around above?

Majority of cots fail safety standards
The Australian Furniture Association (AFA) has warned consumers not to assume that products in Australian retailers are safe, especially when it comes to cots.
The organisation quoted figures from consumer lobby group CHOICE, which tested 139 cots between 2012–2017 and found that 68 per cent failed safety standards. CHOICE said that the government's approach was to wait until one of these products causes serious injury or death before making the new standard mandatory.
"In the past twelve months alone there have been nine recalls of cots sold both in store and online," AFA CEO Patrizia Torelli said.
"The risk of non-compliant, dangerous products being sold to unsuspecting consumers is higher when the products are not tested or labelled appropriately."
Ms Torelli provided these tips for prospective cot purchasers:
- Only buy from reputable and knowledgeable suppliers and retailers.
- Look for the Australasian Furnishing Association Member mark.
- Check that furniture meets Australian Standards NOT international standards.
- Look for furniture that comes with safety information and meets the Australian Consumer Law in relation to Warranties.
- Look for the AFA Member approved Warning Labels as specified in AS/NZS Standards.
See the list of cots that failed the safety tests at choice.com.au or australianfurniture.org.au

Alberta Ferretti got her years-long wish Thursday night of presenting a runway show in Hollywood. The designer, who says "Los Angeles is one of my favorite places," partnered with Lisa Love to present a selection from the pre-fall and Limited Edition collections at Chateau Marmont, followed by a sit-down dinner and dance party. Models sashayed through the parlor while Kate Beckinsale (with daughter Lily and husband Len Wiseman), Selena Gomez, Olivia Munn, Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and Alison Brie took in the show along with Jacqui, Rosetta and Balthazar Getty and Gia and Francis Ford Coppola.
There were also a few young men in the mix like Justin Bartha and Chord Overstreet, a fashion show newbie. "I don't get to go to many of these, but it's a wild experience. Beautiful girls and beautiful clothes. It's great because I don't have a girlfriend hitting me if I stare too long." Brie, who has a premiere at Sundance in a week, was eyeballing some of the embellished furs: "I think they'd be perfect for dressing up the jeans and T-shirts. I'm getting on that!" During dinner in the tented garden, Ferretti toasted Love's birthday and said, "It's a perfect night." As the music volume went up, tables and chairs were quickly moved aside so that everyone from Ferretti, Juan Carlos Obando and Gregory Parkinson to the young starlets could get their groove on.
"Nobody ever dances at events in L.A. It must be an Italian thing," mused Katherine Ross, before getting down with Jacqui Getty.

Thunder Slam a big winner with fans, charity
Elmer Tabor and Dr. Len Brown knew they were going to be marked men when they took to the dirt track outside the Lee Civic Center for the Thunder Slam Demolition Derby and Thrill Show on Nov. 22-24.
Thankfully, they got somebody to drive a third car that had their backs, Jerry "The King" Lawler.
The wrestling legend was one of the many attractions at the three-day event that benefitted the Guardian Angels of Special Populations of Cape Coral, the Rotary and the Invest in America's Veterans Foundation.
And judging by the packed house at Saturday's show, everybody was a winner, according to promoter Rev Prochnow.
"I'm happy for the first time here. We're going to build this thing into a better situation even if demolition derbies are a little unpredictable," Prochnow said.
The weekend started with veterans night where those who served our country got in at a discount, with the meat of the action coming on Saturday before a Sunday Family Day rounded out the festivities.
Among the attractions were quad races, FMX motorcycle back flippers, monster trucks, a demonstration by young mixed martial artists, dozens of vendors and, of course, cars and their drivers trying their best to destroy each other.
Among the monster truck drivers was Rob French, who with Kelley Carrington competed in "The Amazing Race" last year, who has made it into his business.
"I've been doing this for 25 years. I was on the show because of my monster trucks," French said. "If you can help somebody, I've been blessed in my life to have money, so if I can help someone it makes the world a better place."
Brown, who drove the blue-and-yellow Rotary car with the skull and crossbones flags on it, did it as a way to help Special Pops.
"Special Pops is near and dear to Rotary and we support them with a lot of different things, the latest was $15,000 in computer equipment," Brown said. "One of our members is a mechanic and he got involved in one of the promoters and it progressed from there."
Tabor drove the Special Pops car, proving one more time why he has an award for philanthropy named in his honor.
"At the Tabor Awards we talked about giving time, talent and treasure for the community. Well, they found one more thing. I'm sacrificing my body," Tabor joked.
As for the Invest in America car, there was a crown placed atop the roof, signifying who was going to drive it.
Lawler, who has a condo in Fort Myers, has worked with Prochnow for more than 20 years on a myriad of charitable functions.
"Rev is an original Guardian Angel, he has a son in the program, and we've worked together for years on Monster Truck events," Lawler said. "Rev said I had a couple good reasons to come down. It would benefit Special Pops, which was reason enough, and it was in Fort Myers. It's like a working vacation."
Lawler could be seen in the pits taking photos with the Special Pops gang before getting into the car he was going to wreck.
"Whenever he's nearby or available he supports all of our causes 100 percent," Prochnow said.
The Fort Myers East Rotary also raised funds through their fourth-annual Caloosa Cook-off, with more than 20 teams participating.
Procknow said he hopes to turn this into something they do several times a year. Plans are in the making for a "Mud Monsters and Beyond" show from March 14-16, which will feature only trucks.

Dinner Tonight: Italian Kale and Farro Soup Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Minestrone is a perfect expression of all kinds of exciting new vegetables coming into season. April is certainly here, but the fact is we're not quite there yet with the produce (at least here in Chicago) where you can simmer fresh vegetables with some water and call it dinner (my favorite variation is with some pesto stirred in). That's why this recipe caught my eye: It's rich and satisfying thanks to root vegetables, but bright and leafy thanks to the canned tomatoes and a winter staple like kale.
But the real secret here is farro, the Italian grain. Nutty and chewy, it's sort of like barley but with a much more interesting flavor and texture. It adds something substantial without turning it into health food.
- Yield:4
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- Rated:
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 1 leek, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cups farro
- Salt to taste
- 1 large bunch kale, ribs removed and leaves roughly torn
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat until shimmering, then add onion and leek. Cook until softened, about 4 minutes, then add garlic and thyme cook for an additional minute.
Add stock, carrots, celery, farro, and salt and bring to a boil. Simmer 15 minutes, partially covered.
Add kale and tomato and simmer until kale is tender and farro is cooked, 20-25 minutes more. Season soup to taste and serve with grated Parmesan.

This week, let's play with light! Show us what refraction means to you. For this photo challenge, show us what "refraction" means to you. It could be an image taken in a reflective surface, it could be light bent from behind an object, or it could mean remedial math homework: the choice is completely up to you."
So here is my interpretation for the challenge, The sun and the nature compliment each other perfectly well. A reflection of this world's beauty.

From AOL Fanhouse:
AOL blogger Enrico Campitelli Jr. has engaged in fine piece of hands-on investigative journalism.
Campitelli was able to buy SIX cups of Budweiser and two ice creams at the Olympic track and field events last night for a total of $5.75 (that's right: all that for under six bucks.)
Prices are supposedly incredibly reasonable in China. NBC recently ran a story that an Olympic package including a roundtrip flight and week's hotel stay cost about $950.

Developed for a wide range of bioanalytical applications • Based on decades of experience in Luminescence Spectroscopy • Automated accessories designed for bioresearch • Holographic gratings for reduced stray light • Versatility, reliability and ease-of-use • Pulsed Xenon lamp reduces photo bleaching • Large convenient sample compartment • Easy-to-use FL WinLab software • Includes automated polarizers
The PerkinElmer LS 55 Luminescence spectrometer offers flexibility, versatility, reliability and ease-of-use. Based on our popular LS-50B, the LS 55 spectrometer includes a host of auto-mated accessories and software to address a wide range of bio research applications.
The LS 55 is built on PerkinElmers heritage of sensitivity and reliability. A wide range of automated accessories have also been developed for the system making it the system ideal for bioresearchers conducting:
Microplate-based measurements • Polarization • Anisotropy assays • Intact cell work • Analysis of protein suspensions
Optical performance you can count on:
Our monochromator based LS 55 uses a high energy pulsed Xenon source for excitation. For more than 20 years PerkinElmer has used pulsed Xenon sources to minimize photo bleaching of samples and provide a long-lived excitation source. The variable slit and holographic gratings provide flexibility with very low stray radiation. We've incorporated holographic gratings on both the excitation and emission monochromators to further reduce stray light and improve the systems already impressive performance. And a newly designed reference signal system has been added to provide users with much more control over signal dynamics. This is particularly useful for samples with widely differing intra-sample signal size. For example, the LS 55 signal system has reduced noise by a factor of about 5 for intracellular ion analyses, and increased data transfer rates by a factor of 10.
Powerful software controls your entire analyses:
Our FL WinLab software is designed for demanding laboratories. It seamlessly combines PerkinElmer's extensive application specific knowledge and instrumentation control with the ease-of-use provided by the Windows operating environment. Specific modes of instrument operation such as Scan, Time Drive, and Ratio Data Collection can be easily accessed from the Applications Menu. Excitation and emission monochromators can be independently or synchronously scanned, while the Prescan mode is ideal for method development and locating of peak excitation and emission maxima. • FL WinLab includes a validation protocol that automatically checks the instrument performance to ensure that it is operating within specification. With its unique set of accessories and software applications, the LS 55 offers the most powerful and flexible system for data collection and analysis.
Measurement Modes for the LS 55:
Fluorescence, phosphorescence and bio- and chemi-luminescence measurement modes. • Excitation, emission, constant wavelength synchronous, and constant energy synchronous spectral scanning. • 3D excitation/emission scans, 3D synchronous and kinetic scans. • Microplate measurements with fixed wavelength, wavelength program or automated spectral data collection. • TLC plate, electrophoresis gel or other flat sample types can be analyzed with our Plate Reader accessory. • Single and multiple wavelength kinetics • Simultaneous kinetics for multiple samples • Simple quantitation by curve fitting with a number of fit algorithms • Intracellular ion analyses

In 2008, United Way bought a sliver of airtime during Super Bowl XLII for an ad highlighting the charity's youth fitness initiative. By the high-gloss standards of Super Bowl spots, this one was pretty spare: 10 seconds of black and white animation, a sobering statistic on childhood obesity, and an exhortation from New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Unlike most televised appeals, United Way did not list a hot line number. Instead, the charity asked viewers to pick up their cellphone and send the word "FIT" to a six-digit number; for each text message received, the viewer's cellphone would debit $5 from his or her account.
At the time, text-message giving was considered problematic. Any group interested in soliciting donations via text would need to negotiate, simultaneously, with a wide range of cellphone carriers. Red tape abounded. "It was extremely challenging," says James Eberhard, the chairman of Mobile Accord, which acts as a conduit between carriers and charities. "You needed that big event – that Trojan horse – that would convince them that this could work."
With the United Way ad, Mobile Accord believed it had found that Trojan horse. So did the carriers, who signed on in droves. The Super Bowl spot raised $10,000 – not exactly a seismic haul, but a solid showing for an ad that lasted all of 10 seconds. "We never really expected to do big numbers," Mr. Eberhard says. "We expected to open up the industry. And that was the genesis."
Over the past two years, text giving, which once represented only a tiny portion of overall donations in the United States, has quickly became a major component of many successful philanthropic campaigns. Nonprofits have adopted the technology as a way to collect small donations from a large pool of givers; groups such as the Red Cross have launched major campaigns. Analysts say that text message donations are a good match for the pace of 21st-century life: The process is fast, simple, and requires nothing more than a device that most Americans have in their pockets.
"We have 260 million cellphones in the US," says Christian Zimmern, a cofounder and vice-president of the nonprofit Mobile Giving Foundation. "The nice thing about mobile giving is that anyone can do it. If you want to use [the online pay system] PayPal for a donation, you have to be a PayPal member. With SMS [text-message] donations, everyone that has a cellphone can do it. You don't need to have a credit card. You just need your phone." Furthermore, Mr. Zimmern points out, younger Americans – a demographic less likely to give through traditional means – are more than happy to tap out a quick donation on their keypad or touch screen.
A major landmark for text donations arrived in January, when a massive earthquake ripped through Haiti. With the help of Mobile Accord and the Mobile Giving Foundation, the Red Cross raised an estimated $30 million through text message donations alone. A survey from Cone, a Boston-based marketing firm, showed that 13 percent of Americans made a text donation for relief efforts in Haiti, compared with the 6 percent of Americans who made a text message donation of any kind in the previous year. A full 19 percent of Americans told Cone that they would rather text a donation to a nonprofit than make a donation in any other way.
"Haiti has made a huge change for us and the whole industry by putting text message donations on the radar of every major charity in the US," Mr. Zimmern says. "Before, people would say, 'We're not sure if this is for us,' and now everyone is jumping on the bandwagon."
Building a text message campaign, however, is a relatively complicated process. In most cases, a charity must first approach a middleman, such as the Mobile Giving Foundation, which is based in Washington State. The MGF will vet the charity to make sure it meets a range of criteria, including minimum revenue stream and good standing with the Better Business Bureau. If the organization is approved, the MGF works with US carriers to set up a fund-raising campaign; consumers are encouraged to text donations to a predetermined number. The carriers pass those funds to the MGF, which in turn hands over the money to the charity. The carriers do not levy a surcharge on the donors, but organizations are charged by the MGF for some incidental costs.
Even after all these hurdles, there remains much debate about how organizations should actually use texting. Some critics have argued that by relying too heavily on text donations, charities lose a chance to have a relationship with donors.
Allison Fine, the author of "Momentum: Igniting Social Change in the Connected Age," recently wrote on her website that she was concerned about text message giving. "It's certainly not a panacea, and may be best used as part of an immediate crisis or disaster responses," Ms. Fine noted. "However, it may not be as useful when the initial crisis begins to wane.… It seems to me that relationship building with a first engagement being a cellphone number is going to be inherently difficult."
Proponents of text message philanthropy argue that organizations can maintain a relationship with donors by sending them additional texts, or by asking the donors to sign up for an e-mail list. "A lot of traffic comes through your e-mail inbox," says Eberhard of Mobile Accord. "It's hard to keep up with all those e-mails. You don't have the same problem with text messaging – almost every text message you get you're going to read. It's a way to hit people." But others say that charities could run into a spam problem if they send out too many texts, causing users to simply pass over SMS messages the same way they pass over junk e-mail. "That's something none of us want," Zimmern says. "The carriers certainly don't want it. We don't want it. Consumers don't want it."
For now, text message donations resemble online giving at the close of the 20th century, argues Nicole Wallace, a senior writer at the Chronicle of Philanthropy. The technology is relatively new, and organizations are working hard to figure out the best way to harness it. "I think the prevailing wisdom among fund-raising types is that text messages seem to work best when there's a pressing issue," Ms. Wallace says. "The question is whether there's a way to translate that into nondisaster giving, like a local social arts group, or a smaller nonprofit. That will be the test."

When young; I was moved to another location; I had the idea; I wanted my mother; She is in this new location. I was 12 or 11 years old; my father had already left! I didn't know he was a sociopath and a predator; I had been exploited the whole time! fooled! Sociopaths will do this with children; young children; because they know the world knows what they are; so no-one wants to be friends with them; they manipulate small children so the sociopath is not alone!
When young; around my father! My image of my father was created by TV shows, my innocence and decency and my imagination! Unfortunately, no one resembled what I was creating! In the real world; I was dealing with a monster that was never paying attention to me! The truth is; I would attempt to go places with him; I would ride along in his truck. I thought he wanted me their or was trying to help me grow, In reality; he never noticed me at all! I was just an object; nothing more! Im mad that I didn't know this; I was never given a chance to know this! I was fooled from the day I was born! I thought he was in charge of the family; why?; because, thats what I saw on TV shows; how father acted! Their was no one in charge of anything; He was using his wife for kicks! and using her money to pretend to others that he was a successful business man! He groomed others; first calculating where he would meet them; usually well to do people! He would be friend them; go to their houses and act out this business man roll of success! He was a sociopathic fraud! Why did he do this?; kicks! nothing more! it was a thrill; Nothing more; he was a sociopathic potential serial rapist! He was doing what all predators do; he was using human beings as objects to gain a sense of power and thrill! Nothing more!
I was being thrown away from the beginning of life! I never knew! and the psychopaths and sociopaths around me planned it that way before I was born! They always do! that is why they have children; their free game to destroy for a predators thrill seeking plans!
I was being thrown away from the day I was born! I had plans for my life! when very young; I thought those plans would come forth! I had no idea I was being set up for disaster or death or to be killed off! I was never safe!
later, after being thrown away several times; I found myself in a new city! I reached out to God before this; and cried out for someone to love or love me! I was 11 years old!
I moved to this new city; and at the age of 14 I met girl; I loved her! I found her and helped gain her trust! She trusted me; had no reason not to! she came from parents that could not lover her! later, when it came time for me to advance on her; meaning, make her mine! I could not; I stumbled and choked; emotionally speaking; maturity speaking! Something was wrong! I could not move forward; a deeper part of me of revenge came out; revenge and hatred from traumatic shock! I was not who I was suppose to be! I did not know this about myself! I was to young to understand!
I was at a strange cross roads; she did not know I was a loser! I didn't know either until I got to the ages of 15; and I knew something was wrong! I could not do well in school; I could not function in a class room or do school work of any kind; I did not know what was wrong with me! In reality; it was trauma; Trauma from every day of my life as I slowly reseeded into my dream world to stay safe; for it was all I had! I had been disappearing for a number of years; it began to show up in the 4th grade; something about the 4th grade; My age; the maturity level and what I was to learn in school up to that point! I had not learned anything beyond the first grade! I may have learned nothing in the first grade! I had learned nothing and was not ready for any advanced work in school! So; I was put in the slow kids classes when in reality I was a brilliant person! This confusion left a giant fearful blow to my mind! I did not understand what was going on; why was no one helping me! I was all alone it seemed' but believed someone would show up at some point and help! They never did because they were never going to!
After mass trauma problems; by the time Im 14; Im extremely mental from trauma and dissociation; altho, no one cares about me or about this condition! By the time Im 15, its going to show up more n more; or at the age of 14 its showing up more n more!
So; I fell in love with a rich girl up the street! Why?; God! God brought her to me to love; and she had someone that loved her genuinely; me!
I had a problem! At some point in my teenage years; I begin to see myself as a young adult; and from that stand point; I was nothing; had no schooling, no future!
I thought I was retarded slow and dumb! I had not been educated or developed educationally or emotionally; in any area from the beginning of my life! No English and no math skills; nothing! No social development; nothing!
I could play drums! I hid in my drums! my playing! I did not know that my drumming would end! I didnt realize these monsters had tried to take away my drumming from when very young! it was all a game for them to destroy something; they would get trust from their victims and then turn on it! it was fun n games for them; thrills; and it was no game; it was to the death of who ever they were doing this to! meaning, they did not care about the outcome of the person; they never planned on associating with who ever they destroyed; ever again; so; it didnt matter! nothing did!
I didnt realize I was relying on their houses; the psychopaths; to play drums! I had no idea! I didnt yet know what was going on or what to call it; I was still innocent!
One day; I realized I could not drum anymore because I needed a place to drum; a room! I had nothing on my own! I was mentally ill from trauma; severely; and had the maturity of a 9 year old! I could not work or function! no one cared! I tried to hang on; but I had nothing to hang on to accept my beginning dreams!
The point is; The girl I loved; I could go no further with her; I felt like a liability and a loser; from the adult perspective; I know my worth; but what has that got to do with reality and taking care of some one else; I could not man up! how could I; I had no development and that development stopped at 14; actually it stopped at age 5 or age 3.
She was innocent and did not know! She thought I really loved her and cared about her! I could not tell her; nor could I tell her anything about what was going on! Later in my life; I begin; after getting help; to describe what had happened to me! She had been gone for 35 years by this point!
I lost her because I was not in her economic bracket; thats what I thought; and I could not break this belief; it was over my young head! I couldn't ask a rich girl with a future to understand me; a decent person with no future and it was not my fault? I could not ask this rich girl to step into all of this; She was not told any of this from the beginning! In reality; with no fault of my own; I was a fake and did not know enough yet to understand this! I would never be accepted by people like this! The rich! impossible! I left and never came back; I gave up! I loved her so deeply! she would have been my wife! I left her standing their unknown of why I never associated with her ever again! Later, I tried to talk to her; it was to late; she had gone back to being rich and stuck up and acted like she had never met me! I meant nothing to her; It was as if God had erased her memories of me and my credibility! Now; I was just another weakling to forget about.
What could I do about my schooling situation! I was a loser; thats how I was treated by the monsters! They tried to condition me that I was a loser if I could not do well in school; but they made it impossible for me to have any success in life! Now; I know what was dealing with! I had to get out of their; away from these filth from the beginning; but I did not know this as a small child! Nothing was safe and had never been safe!
The point is; I never resolved this; I become extremely mentally ill after leaving this girl; to the point; I should have been in a nut house. I was completely non functioning by this point! No one cared!
My mind and life were being erased!
In the present; Im now well enough to address what happened; or, Im starting to talk about it; how I was to dumb to be in school or could not function in the school system at any level; class rooms and I was not prepared for any level of upward movement within the classroom systems; meaning, math or english; anything; anything dealing with tests or text book learning; I was dumbed down from trauma! also; I could not trust anything! my personality and nervous system was ruptured and going to be ruptured again and again several more times.
I was not prepared for college or any type of outside vocation! I was not mature enough to do anything! I was like an abanden 12 year old! I was in fear and shock and traumatic dissociation!
I lost the girl when young; Now; what am I suppose to tell a women I in the present; I feel like Im stuck in the same situation. I find that Im in the same situation! I now have to learn how to talk about who I am; How Im disabled and how its effects schooling and work! Its very hard; I didnt expect to be dumb in the school system! Someone that could not advance because he was not smart enough! thats how it felt! it was horrible! Now what do I do! I have massive pain and hatred surrounding the school system; text books; tests; especially teachers; all of it! Authority figures! I refused to give to them or open up to them; I never trusted any of it!
So; Im now trying to stay awake as a human being to deal with the past; the dissociative numbing and trauma that numbed me completely out of my life! I went to sleep when very young and was completely erased.
Now; I work within groups to keep me awake and present to deal with the past that I might recover and be able to get my dreams back; learn how to be in relationships again!
Also; I have massive PTsD from the whole of my life from ages 18 to 0; all of it as to be looked through as I wake up! Ive not been able to deal with anything that happened in this age time because its all closed off to me from trauma and numbness. Numbness 100%; my life at this time was whited out completely! Now; as I wake up; Ive got some very bad times in the past to work with or look at and wake up from!
I have goals today; and these goals require that I wake up; relationships and activities! And Im trying to learn to go easy on myself! Relationships dont have to work and my occupations dont have to render me money or not at first! I can make mistakes and its not the end of the world! When I was young; a mistake would bring the end of the world!

In a nutshell, they are more or less all the same. Pay will tend to be minimal (say 3000 RMB, perhaps 4000), but you get holidays covered by your visa (although summer recess will probably not be paid). Jobs at such schools are lacklustre but comparatively stable (by CHinese standards). THis means you know what you are going to teach several months down the road - unlike in private training centres where your schedule changes every once in a while. I can only comment on the Puiching school (you name it as "COmmercial School" - don't know if I am talking about the same one!). There is a locality outside Guangzhou, Huadu, which is famed for its Puiching school, a nprivate college school. Pay is minimal but someone posted on the Job Info forum a rather positive report.

To an investor the cash-on-cash return, Internal Rate of Return or CAP Rate along with the overall quality may be most important. It may mean the location and proximity to a large customer, along with clear height warehouse space to a logistics company or quality, image and layout of an Office Building to another. Our agents will evaluate and tailor marketing plans that take both the "rifle shot" and "shotgun" approach to finding customers.Identifying the best and most efficient way of "Finding" customers is the first part of the equation. Being "Found" is the second. Signs, advertising, community involvement, networking, web sites, subscription listing services, interfacing with a myriad of economic development and financing organizations are but a part of our daily routine. Once the customer is found "closing" that customer is paramount. Finding and Closing customers are the most important part of the business and it is what we do best. Past customer referral and personal referral have always been a strong part of our business. We consider it the greatest compliment to be called on over and over again for our services.

Review: Duku Langsat Seafood Bistro, Kuantan
>> Thursday, October 29, 2015
Overall comment: Very fresh & delicious crabs + smooth fried porridge (yes, if you haven't tried such a thing, you can try it here!). I think all their dishes have 'wok hei' & tastes delicious. Best part, it's pork-free & you actually see people from all races & backgrounds coming over to enjoy a meal together! I love such sight of multi-racial communities coming together for good food :)
Halal: Pork-free
This is my 1st ever invited review in Kuantan *jumps with joy* Fingers crossed, more to come! I've to thank Joeslin from Leong's Kitchenette in USJ 21 for arranging these review sessions for me (yes, it's a plural!). This restaurant is owned & managed by her dad, who passed down some of his recipes & skills to Joeslin & her husband. If you enjoyed your meals at Leong's Kitchenette, make sure you pop-by their sifu's (master's) restaurant when you visit Kuantan!
The name Duku Langsat wouldn't have occurred to me that:
1. it's a restaurant
2. it's a CHINESE restaurant
3. it's a CHINESE SEAFOOD restaurant!
Why Duku Langsat, you may wonder. I asked the same question to Mr Choong Siew Wai, the owner & head chef of this humble restaurant that's been in business for 11 years & counting & his answer really tickled me, "Duku Langsat nice ma...easy to say, easy to remember...not specific to any race...this is an 'international' seafood restaurant that welcomes people from all races!" Thumbs up, chef! Full on to cater to all races! Me likey!
Oh, the craziest part about this restaurant is that they're opened for business from 5pm - 5am the next morning!! They cater a lot to nearby pub goers & late nighters... *say whattttt....*

Trailer FrenzyA special place to find the newest trailers for movies and TV shows you're craving.
There's a new extended trailer for Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin, in which sexy alien Scarlett Johansson looks for men to have sex with in order to send them back to her home planet (for food, maybe?), and I'm dead certain sex with Scarlett Johansson has never looked so scary.
Here's the thing about Under the Skin: I'm 99% sure this is more or less the same plot as '80s Skinemax classic 2069: A Sex Odyssey. Second of all, I think if Johansson's character was completely upfront about her true motives, she'd still have plenty of willing volunteers.

Weather Blog: Snow and rain to hit Midwest...again
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! Like a guest that over stays their welcome, many are hoping April can gather its things and move on. With roughly a week to go in the month, weather records continue to fall. The records are primarily rain and snow related and you guessed it, more is on the way. In today's blog we look at the next storm system that impacts the Midwest today and Tuesday.
Let's start with the snow producing part of the storm. Heavy, wet snow will fall in a narrow band from northeast Nebraska through eastern Minnesota and into northwest Wisconsin. Snow totals of 6"+ are possible in spots! The RPM snowfall forecast is shown below. Notice that southern Wisconsin escapes the threat of accumulating snow.
While we avoid the snow, it looks like we will get wet. Rain showers are likely early Tuesday and stick around through at least the morning. Futurecast below is valid at 4am Tuesday and shows rain showers beginning to overspread southeast Wisconsin...keep an umbrella near.
The morning commute on Tuesday looks to be damp with scattered showers. Rain showers should taper off by late morning or midday. The Futurecast forecast is shown below valid at 9am.
A few afternoon showers can't be ruled out, but overall most the rain should occur through midday Tuesday. With river levels near or above flood stage in our area the amount of rain will be important. Right now forecast rain totals look to stay around 0.10" to 0.33". These totals would likely be spread over 6 hours or more. The threat for new or additional flooding is low with the system.
A slight shift in the track of the rain could up totals, so we will watch how this system plays out very closely. After a break on Wednesday, a few snow showers or flurries will start Thursday. The good news as expected going back to our April forecast issued in March...a warm-up still looks likely next weekend.

Have a great day!

Article abstract: Bakhtin had an impact on literary theory, especially on point of view in the novel; on the philosophy and interrelatedness of language and society; on the extension of areas of linguistics and schools of literary theory; and on modern philosophy, presenting an alternative to systems based on Greek philosophers.
Early Life
Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin was born November 16, 1895, in the provincial capital of Orel, Russia. Untitled and unpropertied, he came from a noble family who, like their city, dated back to the late Middle Ages. His father and grandfather were owner and manager, respectively, of state banks. The third of five children, Mikhail was closer to his elder brother Nikolai than to his three sisters or his parents. A German governess taught the boys Greek poetry in German translation.
When Bakhtin was nine years old, the family moved to Vilnius, the Russian-ruled capital of Lithuania. In this multiethnic center, his outlook was broadened even though the schools and church that he attended were Russian. He was influenced by new movements such as Symbolism and by the spirit of revolutionary change. A lifelong process of debate and dialogue was begun between Bakhtin and his brother and with others. Bakhtin's extensive reading included among others Friedrich Nietzsche and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Six years later, Bakhtin's family moved to Odessa, a major city of the Ukraine. Bakhtin attended and finished the school known as the First Gymnasium; he then attended the University of Odessa for one year, studying with the philological faculty. At sixteen, he contracted osteomyelitis.
From 1914 to 1918, Bakhtin attended the University of St. Petersburg, rooming with his brother Nikolai. Of several professors, the most influential was Faddei F. Zelinsky, credited with laying the foundation for Bakhtin's knowledge of philosophy and literature. Bakhtin's graduation in 1918, following Nikolai's departure for the White Army in 1917 and eventual self-exile to England, marked the end of the preparatory stage of his life.
Life's Work
During the years 1918 through 1929, Bakhtin established lifelong friendships with artistic and intellectual people, developed and expressed his own ideas, did extensive work on his own writings, married, and saw his first works published. He became the center of a series of informal groups comprising people from a wide variety of backgrounds, areas of achievement, and political and ideological persuasions. At Nevel, where he and his family moved in 1918, members of the Bakhtin circle included Lev Vasilyevich Pumpiansky, Valentin Nikolayevich Voloshinov, and the musician Maria Veniaminova Yudina. Bakhtin maintained his personal and philosophical commitment to Christianity at a time when all religions were suppressed in the Soviet Union. His first known publication was a two-page article in a local periodical in 1919 entitled Iskusstvo i otvetstvennost (art and responsibility). The ideas he expressed in this article were later developed into those of his mature works.
In 1920, Bakhtin moved to nearby Vitebsk, where the circle re-formed and expanded to include new members such as Ivan Ivanovich Sollertinsky and Pavel Nikolayevich Medvedev. In addition to writing and keeping notebooks, Bakhtin taught at Vitebsk Higher Institute of Education and held several other positions. The worsening of his osteomyelitis was complicated by typhoid in 1921, and he was nursed by Elena Aleksandrovna Okolovich; their fifty-year marriage began later that year and ended with her death in 1971.
Bakhtin spent the years 1924 through 1929 in Leningrad, where he lived on a progressively reduced medical pension. His health prohibited public activity, but he was able to meet with members of his circle and to lecture in private apartments. Works published by his friends contained his ideas but their Marxist...

San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said new estimates for the Gay Pride Parade on Sunday have 1.5 million people making their way to Market Street.
He said it will rival and possibly top the San Francisco Giants World Series parade.
"Even though the World Series was huge, this could quite possibly be larger in light of the decision that just came down from the Supreme Court - but it will be just as happy as the World Series," Suhr said.
He said his officers will be out in force, just in case to ensure a peaceful event.
The increased crowd follows this week's historic court decision to strike down Prop 8. The normal estimate for the parade is a million people.
Police said safety at the event will be a top priority.
Police said they are urging Pride participants to be cautious with strangers and to report suspicious situations.
Pride celebrations got an early start with Wednesday's Castro District rally that drew thousands of people to Castro Street.
Many San Francisco hotels are sold out for the weekend.
The Pride Festival happens on Saturday and Sunday and includes more than 20 stages throughout the Mid-Market area with musical acts, performances and countless dancing opportunities.
The 18th display of the Pink Triangle will go up on Twin Peaks on 7 a.m. Saturday morning before a 10:30 a.m. ceremony with city and Pride officials.
Saturday night the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will host an alcohol free party in the Castro.
Sunday's parade is the main event and starts at 10:30 a.m. and winds down Market Street ending at the Civic Center.
Merchants have been given a "heads up," Castro/Upper Market Community Benefit District executive director Andrea Aiello said, and extra staff has been called in. Aiello said she expects crowds to "stream into the Castro after the parade" but the effect of the Supreme Court rulings will be felt throughout. "All of San Francisco is buzzing," she said.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and crowded streets along Market Street, downtown and Civic Center areas and the Castro District.
Details about service changes and other transit plans are available at www.sfmta.com/calendar/san-francisco-pride. More information about Pride events is available at www.sfpride.org.

truly beautiful building, a great fit for rural Connecticut!
The window casings are getting metallic (shiny brass or gold) trim that beautifully frames each window that slightly protrudes from the building: adds some glitter without being gaudy. The design details on this building are tasteful and refined, and the material on the facade are all substantial and of fine quality. This building is understated architectural excellence, truly one of the best currently under construction.
This building can - and often will - be easily be overlooked as being 'typical' ; but those who discern the difference , and can see the quality , will very much enjoy viewing this new building in person.
Notice all the other windows to the right, that have not yet been clad: what a difference. The opportunity for Scouting out architectural gems like this in NYC has not been better in recent history: beautiful buildings are sprouting like flowers in spring..... Enjoy.
truly beautiful building, a great fit for rural Connecticut!
I question if anything can be gold and not be gaudy. I know warm metals are all the rage, but I will fess up to not getting it.
I , on the other hand, am delighted with the how this is turning out: one of my top favorite buildings currently under construction. I will not quibble over matters of personal tast preferences, and individually held standards of "good design" - but I do see how one would equate glittery gold trim with being "gaudy".
My infatuation with this building will continue unabated : with soon to follow site photos I took today.
Agreed. Black, white and gold strikes a very 70s note. Copper, stainless, corten etc. would have been better.
We're going corten on the house. So that I get.
This building isn't bad, really, just maybe not my favorite. I guess partially because I think the place on 14th did this so much better. The brass was a little more subdued and the brickwork a bit more boisterous than the panels here.
This features on the facade of this building are the best I have seen as of late: the quality of the materials, the architectural detailing on the window frame with the metallic protruding trim, the thick and massive precast concrete cladding on the facade - all brilliant.
I will continue to follow closely the construction progress, along with photos and commentary, until the completion of this building: because I think this project is so well done, yet widely unnoticed.
This building is lame and so is Foster.
The first photo shows the steel cleats being attached to the edge of the concrete slab; upon which one window panel will be hung - shown in the last 2 photos. This glass window panel is different from the other standard smooth glass panels: looks like what I would call prismatic glass or ribbed glass.
Overall, this building facade has a very robust curtain wall assemblage; heavy stone slabs and substantial metal window framing/glass attached to the concrete formwork.
I like this curtain wall assembly: the brass trim, massive stone facade panels, heavy gauge metal mullions and window frame assembly, thick high quality panes of glass. Those of us who are in the business - and a few others in the know - can see that this curtain wall design is something special, something sublime.
I am not getting paid by the developer or the architects to photograph and comment on the construction progress of this building: but I should LOL
One of the construction workers pointed at me and said something today. I think he said, thats the guy who is posting pictures on the internet - they are on to me ..
That is a quality finish on the building. Maybe the brass will knock down with time?
