EGX 2014, the UK's biggest games show kicked off on the 25th of September at Earl Court's in London. I attended the event on Sunday where I got hands-on with some of the hottest upcoming games.
The moment I entered the main hall, I felt an overwhelming joy seeing the plethora of stands showcasing exciting new games, cosplayers walking around and lots of gaming merchandise. Needless to say, I wanted to play everything, although of course there was not enough time. Huge lines were around the most popular games such as the Elite: Dangerous, Alien Isolation, The Evil Within, Far Cry 4 etc.
I've just returned from annual leave, and something I can't keep to myself is a cringe-worthy (and slightly creepy) sight I saw all along the Croatian coastline: tourists with Selfie Sticks.
If you haven't seen or heard of the Selfie Stick, think of it as a pole to attach your camera or smartphone to, sometimes with a button near the handle. This allows you to pose for a photo of yourself from afar. This new phenomena is booming abroad, and was recently spotted closer to home at a football game by the Guardian's Daniel Taylor who tweeted:
"It's an epidemic and it will be at a football ground near you soon #selfiestick pic.twitter.com/q1duBNNV9k"
— Daniel Taylor (@DTguardian) September 14, 2014
Selfies have attracted criticism from some (including the Selfie Police), mainly on grounds of vanity, but also the vague feeling that selfie-takers are missing out on the moment itself by concentrating so hard on documenting themselves at that time and place. That's a thought that came to mind when I watched someone swim to the middle of Krka National Park waterfall with a selfie stick in hand, and pose for countless shots. But on the other hand, sharing that moment with friends and family at home, and looking back on it on the many weeks of the year when she's not on holiday, isn't such a bad intention.
Radial-G, at the starting point.
Finally! Thanks to Dean Gifford from Preliminal Games I had the chance to play around with several demos and games on the Oculus Rift Dev Kit 2.
My Rift experience started with Quake, an all time classic first person shooter released by ID Software in 1996. As soon as I put my headset on I felt like I went back in time! An element I particularly liked was the stereoscopic 3D gun that was in front of you, I could even put a finger on a trigger position. I had lots of fun playing around in the game – although the keyboard and mouse movement made me a bit nauseous.
Next on the list was the official Oculus Rift Dev Kit 2 demo which presented you with a virtual office environment. The demo displayed a neat new feature of position head-tracking. You could move in whatever direction you wanted and this changed your position. You could even bend over to examine the potted plants from multiple angles. In one instance I found myself trying to lift a pen from the desk but without success. This reminded me of the eminent need for an intuitive interaction with the virtual environment.
The third demo put me into the legendary Millenium Falcon from Star Wars. The navigation was smooth but unfortunately there was too much chromatic aberration and that spoiled the whole experience. Chromatic aberration is the effect produced by the refraction of different wavelengths of light through slightly different angles, resulting in a failure to focus. Let's hope that this issue is going to be addressed in the near future by Oculus VR and Unity, the game engine that many developers use to make games.
Example of Chromatic aberration
On the other hand Proton Pulse Rift gave me an amazing arcade gaming experience. The game resembles a 3D space-themed Arkanoid where you control the paddle by simply looking in the direction you want to move. It was a true hands-free immersive experience.
Proton Pulse gameplay in action!
The game that really exceeded my expectations and truly tested my reflexes and twitch skills was Radial-G. Radial-G introduced the user to a unique radial circuit space race where at the same time you had to avoid multiple obstacles. Although I really enjoyed the game I found myself at times quite distracted from the fast movement and highly visual environment. It was an awesome experience where the low persistence of the device, which eliminated the motion blur and judder, made the real difference.
In general the image quality of the Oculus Rift was much more superior to my Nexus 4 used with the Google Cardboard, although I could still observe the pixels in front of me in some cases. Orientation and position tracking were both seamless, although with the position tracking you had to be careful not to stand out of the tracking device's field. Dean had worked out a simple solution to have a mat at the tracking area of play. An additional major limitation I observed was that the headset is not portable and the cable restricted your movement. Lastly, it was quite interesting that even though I played around only a couple of hours my perception of the real world had already been affected. The minute I got the Oculus Rift out of my head I was more observant of the distance and depth of objects and their shadows.
Future research could definitely be around how to control the environment, as the keyboard and mouse controls are not suitable. Finally, there is a need for a multimodal interaction inside the virtual environment. Oculus has made the first step providing an immersive visual world. Hopefully future development will bring forward the best of Virtual Reality.
Playing with Google Cardboard at the office
Whilst I was trying to find an immediate alternative to the long-awaited Oculus Rift, a project from Google caught my attention. Google Cardboard is a Virtual Reality headset that was created by a Google employee under a company initiative which gives all employees the flexibility to spend 20% of their time on their own projects. The Google Cardboard kit was given freely to attendees of the Google I/O 2014, the annual conference about the Android ecosystem.
I decided to go through the Google Cardboard DIY (Do It Yourself) design. The DIY kit was easy to make with cardboard (even from yesterday's pizza box) as all the instructions can be found on the Google official website. As I was putting everything together, my colleagues were eager to find out what I was trying to make with all the pieces. The truth is that I did not have great expectations but it turned out that it was a truly amazing experience!
If like me, you are late to pick up on the story of a hitch-hiking robot who made its way across Canada, here's a quick rundown of one innocent robots triumphant journey against the face of adversity. Hitchbot was conceived in the minds of two Canadian professors David smith and Dr. Frauke Zeller who gave one robot a dream. Hitchbot, like most robots, has a limited set of skills: the ability to converse, take photos, tweet locations and make facial expressions with a cheeky LED face. The problem is this robot has one minor drawback, the ability to move. Using only a foam hitch-hiking thumb and a variety of inter-personal skills, this robot had to make a journey from one-side of Canada to the other and experience human interaction along the way.
To find out more about hitchbot's journey check out the website, twitter feed and global coverage it made.
The Oculus Rift in action!
When I was little, still playing with my Lego, I remember hearing lots of exciting stories about Virtual Reality gaming devices in arcades. Young people were wearing a huge helmet that immersed them into a low resolution but exciting gaming world. I was trying to imagine the different world that existed inside. Finally, the moment I can experience Virtual Reality has arrived! Virtual Reality is revived after the 90s with the help of the Oculus Rift!
The Oculus Rift is a Virtual Reality head-mounted display created by Oculus VR. Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus VR went from just an idea to the creation of the first widely available Developer kit. Oculus VR was initially supported by a Kickstarter campaign that received huge support. On March 2014, Facebook acquired Oculus VR for 2 billion dollars, anticipating Oculus Rift to be the next interface revolution. The device is targeted to everyone thanks to its reasonable price (the developer's version costs about £200). The technology has finally matured and the question at this moment is how developers and the computing industry are going to support the device. Transparency Market Research predicted that Virtual Reality gaming is going to reach a value of more than 5.8 billion globally by 2019.
Kicking off my research into car technology and driver interfaces. The project will explore the current market of in-car technology and analyse the implications of this platform on UX methods and practice.
Having just committed myself to delivering an exciting independent research project looking at in-car technologies and automobile apps, what better way for me to get immersed in the motor world than attending the British Grand Prix!

I was having a break a couple of days ago with an old friend of mine at a quiet café in Covent Garden when a rather painful topic came up in the discussion. A couple of years ago my friend's daughter had an MRI scan. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a type of scan that uses strong magnetic fields to produce a detailed image of your body. The experience for her daughter was quite traumatic; she cried and could not sit still. Who would not be afraid of a giant machine, which requires you to stay still (sometimes for more than 30 minutes) and makes strange loud noises? It's easier for adults to come to terms with the process as they understand the necessity of having an MRI scan as it's about their health, but why should children have to endure such horrendous experience?
So, where does UX fit into this? Well, making a wonderful experience for the children that have to go through the challenge of having a scan. It turns out, that after a bit of research on the topic Doug Dietz, a designer of MRI machines at GE Healthcare has already been inspired from one of many real-life stories to create a whole new experience for children going through an MRI scan.
Children have a difficult time on their first meeting with the MRI scanner, crying and trying to get out of the room, whilst having to cope with whatever injury or even a serious illness has brought them there in the first place. It is noted that almost 80% of children that have an MRI scan are sedated before the scan as they are too scared to lie still for long enough.
Its 9.40, and after an unnaturally high level of focus on kitchen duties, I'm now gazing out the window looking for signs of the man from our broadband company. Our broadband has decided to stop working for the last week and a half. No idea why. As a UX-er, it is an interesting situation. Ringing customer services was a good experience. They seemed friendly and efficient on both occasions.
A local area network problem was the identified issue first time round and that should be rectified within a couple of days we were told. My partner however is fairly steamed up about it, as it was a recent installation and switching had been a hard decision. "I knew it was a mistake to move," he fumes. But as the cooler headed one of the two, I'm ok: we can cope. A week later, it wasn't fixed. I ring a second time and looking at the line, I'm told it was not the local area fault any more, but something else which I don't quite catch. An S… something or other. Now an engineer is coming out to fix what maybe as simple as a loose connection on the splitter, but he can only make it between 8-12, so I stay in and wait.
So where's the UX issue here? It's not the fact that things go wrong but that I had to make a second call. Without the second call to customer services, we would be no nearer to solving the problem. But this was driven by me, the customer. I'm the one who's irritated and it's my time that's being wasted. I feel like I'm doing their job for them. How come the issue wasn't followed up or checked? How come first time round we had one diagnosis and now it doesn't seem to be that at all? In the end it turned out to be something embarrassingly simple – it had been an local area issue but our equipment just needed re-setting. How come I didn't think to do this myself? We're told in this life, don't sweat the small stuff. Now that an expensive engineer has been and gone, maybe following up on the small stuff would be a good way to keep the customer happy.

The drunken Australian model who was TASED after breaking into Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills mansion last month is officially OFF THE HOOK ... this according to law enforcement.
We broke the story ... Tom made it clear that he didn't feel there was any "malicious intent" when Jason Sullivan drunkenly scaled a wall and wandered onto Tom's property.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, the L.A. County District Attorney spoke with Tom ... who informed officials he did not wish to press charges over the incident because he realizes it was just a sloshy mistake ... so it's case closed.
FYI -- Sullivan had been staying at the home next to Tom's pad ... and has been telling friends he simply mistook Casa de Cruise for his house in a drunken stooper.
Now, Jason won't face any legal consequences for the mixup ... so it's like the whole thing never happened ... except for the taser burns, 'cause that definitely happened.
He was probably used to sneaking in and servicing Katie. He got drunk and thought she still lived there.
I bet his E-meter readings were off the charts.
Tom didn't feel there was any "malicious intent"? That sounds very different from the usual Tom who thinks everyone is out to get him! Obviously this is a paid piece. Oh well, what can I say? He's pretty hot, Tom! 100 steps up from David Miscavige.
Tom's new boyfriend.
It's "stuper," stoopid. Aparentlee they just hire anyone over there.
Stupor. I'll leave apparently alone.
To the TMZ staff and Mensa candidates: It's "stupor".
Thanks for your attention.
Stooper? Do you guys need a proofreader? I'm available. $50 an hour. 2 hour turnaround.
Tom probably thinks he can get a little action from this friendly neighbor if he drops the charges and invites him over for a drink.
Is TMZ proof positive that the education system in the US is shot to hell?
I spit my coffee out when I got to stooper. Really.
I spit my coffee out when I got to stooper. Really.
Good. . . Nice to see that Mr. Cruise could see it was a mistake, not an attack, and the legal system did not act like fools.
Nice house, Tom. The drunk must stop drinking, or off to jail will be his new home.

Spanked Twice For The Same OffenseThis morning I woke up kinda grumpy and I back talked my mom so she grounded me for the day. Well he had gone shopping for the day and Clay (my stepdad) was at work this morning and didn't know I had been grounded. So my mom left and I asked him if I could go to my boyfriend's house. He said yes and then went to bed because he had just worked a night shift (he is a police officer). My thoughts were that I would go to Jake's house and come home before my mom ever got back. Well of course, she decides to come home early. My cell phone rings and I saw it was her and I knew I was caught. She demanded that I drive home instantly and park in the garage because I wouldn't be driving for a long time. I got home and she immediately pulled me over the kitchen table, pulled my shorts and panties down and tore my butt UP. She probably gave me 20 licks. It hurt super bad but not even close what Clay's belt feels like. It really just surprised me me because my mom hasn't spanked me since I was like 12. I didn't get spanked at all from then until almost 15 when my stepdad started spanking me. Well anyway, the commotion of my spanking woke Clay up and he came down stairs. My mom told him what had happened and he was so mad at me. He felt like I had lied to him since I asked him if I could go even though my mom said no. So he then sent me to get his belt and go to my room. He met me there a few minutes later and pointed to the bed. I pulled my shorts and panties down after I laid across the bed. I got 15 licks with the belt all over my butt and upper thighs. 15 might not sound like a lot but it was with a think leather belt and I had just gotten 20 licks with the wooden spoon. My butt hurts SO bad.
That is not being spanked twice for the same offense, that is being spanked once for breaking grounding and once for lying to your step-dad. I was spanked by both parents until I was almost 24 (right before I got married the first time) and I would have gotten a lot more in a similar situation (did get a lot more a couple of times, come to think of it), and I certainly would have punished you for both offenses separately.
yes your Right i Agree .
My Mum Disciplined Me Until i Left Home Age 23 . ALways Strapped Across my bare bottom .
I don't think it hurts anymore,less if anything cos the impact is being broken by the spankers knees.Its more about the humiliation than anything else especially as you get older,its like being treated like a 5yr old all the time.I was rarely smacked anyother way at home,at school we had to bend over with our hands on a chair or desk,that really hurt!!
I would have given you 40 to 50 with the belt.
yes me to More was Needed
I've been in your shoes more than once,normally if i had been out shopping with my Mum & i had incurred a smacked bottom from her she would sometimes tell my Dad when we got home.If she did that meant a trip over his knee.I remember it stinging so bad cos my bum was already sore.I always thought it very unfair to get smacked twice for the same thing.But if i had lied like you did i would'nt have sat for a week!
you Got Punished and Deserved it . your Parents have my Respect .
you deserved it, should have gotten more
That must hurt SO much! I wish I was there to rub some nice cooling cream over your poor little bottom - then it would be ready for a hand-spanking over my knee later!
That must hurt SO much! I wish I was there to rub some nice cooling cream over your poor little bottom - then it would be ready for a hand-spanking over my knee later!
My sister pulled a similar stunt it ended the same way my mom got her point across with my sister's butt.

Missoula Downtown Association Prepared for Successful Christmas Season [AUDIO]
The Christmas shopping season is set to begin in earnest with a busy weekend for merchants throughout Missoula, and downtown is no exception.
The Christmas shopping season is set to begin in earnest with a busy weekend for merchants throughout Missoula, and downtown is no exception.
Black Friday happens every year on the day after Thanksgiving.
The too-good-to-be-true bargains that abound on Black Friday may entice people to go holiday shopping, but they may lure in even more people interested in buying gifts for themselves.
The Zumba instructors from Curves and from The Canyons Athletic Club have struck again!
Throughout the year in the valley, you can count on a flashmob or two or three from these active exercisers. Black Friday was no exception
It's not just the big-box stores like Walmart and Target who get mobbed by 'Black Friday' shoppers. Here you can watch as hundreds of women prepare to trample each other for fancy underwear at their local Victoria's Secret.
It's Black Friday, and you know what that means -- hiding in your home away from the world while people desperately claw at each other's faces to buy a Wii U for their kid. The madness is not for everybody. Some of us like to eat cold turkey all day and wonder how a person could be so hungover. For those of us who would rather spend time with our TVs watching 'Star Wars' than rioting over discounted athletic socks, we present these Black Friday memes to make you feel like you've made the right choice.
There were long lines, but shoppers were mostly happy about the deals they found on Black Friday morning.
I spoke with several shoppers outside Walmart, Southgate Mall and Best Buy early Friday morning. Most said they had found everything they wanted, many were looking for
Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday..all excellent gift-buying opportunities. The Better Business Bureau has some advice.
You are invited to take a Christmas Stroll in downtown Hamilton Friday and throughout the Christmas season.
The Hamilton Downtown Association will kick off the season with the Montana A Cappella Society carolling on the sidewalks, starting about 4:30 p
Ready for the holiday shopping season? We've visited with many of Missoula's major stores for you to give you an idea of what to expect, so you can have a plan of attack.

Score from 1188 reviews Very good
Only one night - would like to go back
Great location Friendly staff Modern rooms
Dining/food options are not great (including breakfast), instead find options outside of the hotel
It was affordable but still close enough to downtown sights. Great, upscale atmosphere with friendly staff. Comfortable room.
The Wi - Fi and overall cell service in the hotel was terrible.
Valet parking
Close proximity to our weekend event
I liked that there was a CTA station attached, and coffee shops.
Nothing was open in Mechandise Mart on the weekends.
Room service and house keeping and front desk
I like the pool and the city view.
The room wasn't vacuumed,I found a pair of socks and a earring under the table.The toilet was duty when we arrived,so I called the housekeeping,they came to clean it,but it still duty. The room was very small. No microwave or fridge. The parking was very expensive,the valet take a lot of time to bring your car back due to the small road was very crowded. Don't go there if you have a car.
The view was amazing. The staff was always friendly. Always offered to clean our rooms and asked if we needed fresh towel.
It is difficult to get to. You must go up an elevator to get to hotel. We didn't want to use valet parking so we had to lug our suitcases all around Chicago with us at $35 a night. Things that can be fixed is having a frig in the room and maybe a microwave. We would go out and get some food and have no where to put any leftovers.
Clean room and hotel. The pool was warm. The hotel staff and concierge was friendly, and the valet personnel were great!
No fridge in the room. The vending machine only took 1 dollar bills. I was lucky to get change for my 5 from a pizza delivery guy in the hallway. Would have liked to be able to get my kids something small to eat at the restaurant, but it wasn't open until 5pm. I'm glad that Subway was nearby.
The staff was very informational
The parking
Location was excellent Staff helpful Very clean bathroom
The day we arrived found the mattress pads dirty.Called front desk and was made to wait. It was late when they came to change it but they came. Tv watching was boring. Not many channels available No bar fridge (extra$25/day)
Hidden gem tucked away at the top of the Sun Times building is convenient to most of the downtown even on foot. Great staff, great value.
Excellent location close to many major attractions. My room was large, clean and very comfortable.
The room was smelly (carpet?) and there was nothing to do about it, the windows did not open.
My girlfriend and myself had a good time we really injoyed our stay valet was amazing, our veiw of the city was off the chart cant wait till out next trip a scale rate 1-100 my score rate is 100
directly at Chicago River, access to the Metro ("L" Train) through the next building within 5 minutes indoor walk
the rooms facing to the inside of the hotel have a boring view, the outside facing can see the skyline of Chicago
the location of this hotel was great..it had great views and the staff were very friendly and helpful...it is conviently located just off the beaten path, so you don't get all the hustle and bustle noise, but still convient to walk to everything. The other convient attachment to this hotel was a merchant mart, so you could go there for shopping, food of catch a train...was great for keeping costs down.
My only complaint I have is the maid service is not the best...needs some improvement and the wait staff in the restaurant(not the bar area) are a little slow.
The room in the "new" wing was more accommodating but still, well below the value of the cost. Staying in downtown Chicago isn't worth it when the cost far outweighs the amenities and experience. Substandard.
Our original room was in the "old" wing of the hotel, yet it was the same price as the renovated area. The dresser was missing handles, there were stains on the wall, the shower curtain was stained, etc... When we were moved, the room looked updated, however, the AC wasn't working properly and the construction outside started around 5:00 am and you could hear every jackhammer pound!
good location
Our view from our room was spectacular, the location of the hotel is absolutely perfect to explore the city center. The staff was friendly, especially the concierge Russell, who's a great guy! The hotel looks very nice from the inside.
The female server at the bar seemed very stressed and spoiled the overall good ambiance of the location for us a little bit. The front-desk has not enough employees assigned to it during certain times of the day.
Location is amazing; staff is available to fulfill customer's requests View is stunning and does make the difference (for the rooms which have it)
Some re-newing in interiors of rooms is recommended; (especially doors)
Excellent concierge service they really were knowledgeable about the city and cared if you had a good time
Complicated entrance
Do not come here if you have a car! 41$ a day to be parked in a construction zone. Car was filthy. Had to wash windows to see after only 3 days. They said 'what do you expect?' Said I could wash it and submit a claim and see if would be paid.AND did not get room we booked. They said they only give rooms available and no reimbursement for difference.
friendly staff, and help with our planning fun things to do. Russell was great!!
toilet was plugged up since our first nights stay, maintenance came in, snaked it then left. toilet was still plugged and husband complained 2nd day, maintenance came, snaked toilet, and also took tank lid off touched tooling inside toilet, and then flushed properly, and remained usable rest of stay.

How to look for work online
The next subject I have decided to dissect is where and how to look for work online. If you are simply using the newspaper to scope out job opportunities, you have probably noticed there is not much in the classifieds to chose from unless you are considering selling Avon or want to debut as a dancer in West Virginia! Let's break the job search methodology into three basic ways to find job ads on the Web:
1. Check employer Web sites:
The easiest way to find out if your favorite company has any current opening is to visit their Web site. Most large corporations have an "Employment" or "Careers" or "Opportunities" tab somewhere on their site where you can find out what jobs are currently available. If you were interested in working for Lockheed Martin, for example, you would go to Lockheed Martin's Web site and search by location and/or job title. Some companies will allow you to post your resume, which will go into a database for future matches, and some companies will only allow you to apply for a specific job that is currently posted.
2. Individually search job boards:
Mega, national job boards - These are the monster.com, the HotJobs.com, the flipdog.com, etc. These sites have a massive number of job listings and resume postings.
Regional, geographic-specific job boards - Just about every region, every state, and every major metropolitan area has one or more "local" job boards. If you are looking for a job in a specific location, then using one or more of these job boards makes sense. In our area we have www.shenandoahvalleyhelpwanted.com
Industry- or profession-specific job boards - Growing in popularity. Just about every industry and profession, from white to blue collar, has at least one industry-specific job board. For example: Sales jobs - www.top-sales-jobs.com / Tech Jobs: www.justtechjobs.com / Hospitality Jobs: www.hcareers.com / Federal Jobs: www.usajobs.gov / Commonwealth of Virginia jobs: http://jobs.virginia.gov/
3. Set up e-mail job search agents
Job seekers can set up job search agents on just about any job board. You will likely have to create an account/user profile and then set up a search to match your desired job criteria. E-mail alerts will be sent to you on a daily basis as job matches are posted. Remember, e-mail job search agents should be used as a tool to supplement your methods, which should include networking, classifieds and jobs databases.
My personal favorite: Indeed.com
Indeed.com includes millions of job listings from thousands of Web sites, including company career pages, job boards, newspaper classifieds, associations and blogs. The great thing about Indeed.com is that it only posts real jobs, not advertisements of online schools, spam and old recycled job postings. You have the ability to search jobs by occupation and or location. I find Indeed.com the most productive of job boards.
If you have any comments or suggestions about job search methods you are using please let me know!

The Munch Poke Ping report: Why we need to help excluded young people stay safe online
Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) provide education for children who cannot go to mainstream school. Supporting excluded young people in PRUs can be challenging, especially when it comes to the use and misuse of social media. Stephen Carrick-Davies, author of the 'Munch Poke Ping' report shares what mainstream schools can learn from the work being done in PRUs.

Well gentlemen, now that the moment has come to bid you farewell, I congratulate both you, Doctor, and you, Professor, on your brilliant work in the development of the submarine tracking system. Thanks primarily to you, I am happy to say that the first phase of our operation has met with considerable success. I have instructed my assistant to have paid into your Swiss bank account the sum of ten million dollars each.
Prof. Markovitz:
Thank you, sir.
Dr. Bechmann:
Thank you indeed.
And that, I think, concludes our business. Before you go however, I very much regret to inform you that a dangerous development has recently been brought to my notice. Someone has been attempting to sell the plans of our tracking project to competing world powers; someone intimately associated with the project.

Who Should Attend: Federal, state/local and military IG personnel who conduct civil and/or administrative investigations, as well as those who support criminal investigations, including general investigators, auditors, attorneys, analysts, evaluators, inspectors, hotline operators, and investigative research specialists. {Criminal investigators (GS-1811s) should attend IG-ITP or TTP instead.}
What You Will Learn: Basic criminal, civil, and administrative investigative techniques, legal concepts and procedures, and fraud schemes commonly worked within the IG community. During this interactive program, you will conduct interviews, write investigative reports, and participate in mock presentations of a criminal case and an administrative hearing, while being mentored by an experienced IG field investigator. Participants may be eligible to earn CPEs up to 79 hours for successful completion of this program.

Comments from EIGI Graduates
"The overall course and instruction by all was awesome!"
"Excellent program; wish I had taken this years ago."
"This is by far the best investigative training I have attended."

"The quality of instruction and instructors was consistently excellent."
"All the facilitators were great and created an excellent learning environment."

"I highly encourage this course be taken as soon after basic CI as possible. I wish I would've had the opportunity to attend within the first six months because I encountered MANY of the issues covered in this course without the training I needed. If I had this training sooner, I would've felt much more confident in my early decisions."

Blackmar Diemer Gambit
So you most likely play the french or caro the most as white Its why I quit the BDG, seemed only every like 8 games after 1d4 d5 2.e4 i actually got the accepted.
I'm quite fine with facing those. e4 players have to deal with those as well. And we all have to deal with defesive openings like the Modern or the Pirc; closed games cannot be avoided. Usually they take the gambit in blitz. Maybe 20% of the time I get a French and 10% a Caro-Kann. And occasionally they decline with something else.
I actually find the tendancy for 50% of my opponents to play 3.Nc3 against the Scandinavian far more irritating. Yeah it throws away White's first move initiative. But it doesn't give me an advantage either. Really it just feels like a waste. I'd rather be practicing the critical lines but they force me to play through this garbage.
I'm seriously considering from now on only playing the accelerated (2 Bf4) London as white, 3...Qd8 Scandinavian and 4...Qb6 Slav as black. A repertoire doesn't get any simplier than that. A bit passive but solid, similiar setups and low theory. If I decide it's a bit too routine for me I might instead only play 1 b3 (Nimzo-Larsen) and 1...d6 (Black Lion/Modern Philidor/Old Indian), which would have somewhat more imbalance going on.
1 d4 d6 2 c4 e5 isn't actually an Old Indian. It doesn't have a name. I call it an Old Indian because it's similiar in setup and I have to call it something.
I prefer a narrow repertoire, but I can't make up mind which ones to play, so I think for the rest of this year I'll use all the openings and defenses I listed and then see if I can determine.
i dont know, is the nimzovich sound?? maybe i should give it a shot
Depends on mood. With white mostly: ruy lopez, sicilian alapin, giuoco piano, king's gambit, evan's gambit, english, blackmar diemar gambit, queen's gambit, ponziani or king's indian attack.
With black mostly: a few different variations of the sicilian najdorf , sicilian dragon, sicilian accelerated dragon, king's indian defense or caro-kann.
Of course sometimes if the opponent's opening veers too far off the beaten path I'll transpose where called for or use a creative approach for an advantage in the middle game depending on what the position demands.
There are some other openings I'll use from time to time but not as often as the ones I've mentioned and a couple of systems I can't reveal due to contractual obligation.

I'm even considering trying The Sniper more, Henley's book on it sure makes it interesting. I played a game here with it and it went well against a 1950 player, my best win, but he blundered badly. I'd have to adjust my style a bit, but maybe that would be a good thing.
There may can be something said for playing a repertoire of the Dynamic English (the King's Bishop is developed on g2 before the Queen's Knight on c3) and the Sniper. A mirror image repertoire (after 3 moves), but the way the game develops as black and as white will often flow different from each other.

I rent from South 40 U Haul a few times a year for various things. They are always professional and "on the ball". Equipment is always in good shape and the people are great!
Great customer service !!
This is a GREAT location, Would highly recommend getting and returning equipment here.
Excellent customer service.
Staff was very friendly
South 40 has a 24 hour drop off which worked perfect for us. They checked in the truck promptly the morning after we returned it with no issues at all!
The local truck should not be allowed on the road. Transmission slips, brakes are warped and it shakes all of the furniture, dashboard is ready to fall off, could only go 25 mph uphill when empty. Had at least a dozen other uhaul trucks pass me like I was standing still.
No improvement needed - top notch service! Friendly, accurate, over-the-top service from nice folks at family-owned & operated business. Highly recommend : ] Easy-peasy -
The only thing we really missed was the crank up on the hitch....very hard to lift over 100 pounds to get it on the hitch!!! And handles on the hitch would be nice too
The rental location was at Bulldog auto center on 2851 Highland ave. Was not at the Williams hwy. Very helpful courteous and would went beyond the call of duty by giving me a ride after I dropped it off when my car was acting up to get some help. His name was Steven and would highly recommend him and the company he works for. Ben
The staff were friendly - providing "over the top" customer service.
My experience was flawless. Will use this location again when the need arises

Southwest #10: Kelly and Josh's Work in Progress
Name: Kelly and Josh
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Size: 744 sq. ft. apartment
Rent/Own: Rent
What is the advantage of SMALL? Small living constantly forces us to go through and get rid of unnecessary pack rat items, especially since we have no dividing walls or separate storage. Small living also makes you a neat/clean freak as 1 misplaced item can affect the entire space.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to yesterday's server crashes, we'll be extending the voting period of the previous entries commensurate with the outage time.
What's your favorite resource for your home?
Apartment Therapy (of course), IKEA for budget, DWR (for looking only), flickr, flea markets, Dwell, Los Angeles Times Home section, CA BOOM shows, and other apartments in our building.
What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home?
The bathroom. It is a narrow space consisting of a shower on one end and a sink in the middle, which separates it from the toilet on the other end. There are two sliding doors entries; one for the shower area and one for the toilet area. Every guest we have over trips out over it! The other cool feature is the detective style front doors (not pictured, as 5 photos never seems to be enough).

Cool space!
That bathroom is a trip!
Really unique rental.
i think this is my favorite so far- awesome use of space and color. looks like there is a cohesive style. welcoming without being pretentious. definitely use some of these ideas in my apartment to come!
I like your space. I really like the couch and the color.
I had to doubletake over your bathroom pic too! My mind kept insisting that there was a mirror behind the sink. That's a pretty creative way to fit a bathroom in a slim rectangular area.
Really cool apartment! Amazing that you have living room, bedroom, and workspace all in essentially one big room. Love the colors and light, and unexpected touches like the bathroom wall and cute little side table. One of my favorites.
Great apartment! I love the way that you've separated the space into three distinct living areas - great use of the Expedit and curtains. I will definitely be looking to this for inspiration for my own small space!
I really don't get the sink, seems like it would be a paint, but it is also kind of neat? Overall I dig the space.
Good job!
So bright and airy. I really like the shower tile and your use of the bookcase as a divider. Sadly, the memory of the coral magnifier and letter opener http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/organizing/coral-magnifier-and-letter-opener-set-046025 means I cannot fully enjoy the bathroom : )
I love your place. The blue color of the couch is so refreshing the the light in your place is amazing. Is this Milano Lofts in downtown ?
I vote Super Cool - Very nice indeed!
it's pacific electric lofts downtown at 6th and main.
Awesome, in my top three! Super DUPER Cool
This is the best I've seen so far. Excellent layout and use of space. It looks spacious and airy. Especially like the bathroom, very creative! I vote Super Cool!
i love the color of your sofa. your home is beautiful! and yes, your bathroom is a trip! very cool.
I love the way you were able to divide it into distinct areas. Very, very cool! So much useful area, and yet it doesn't feel crowded at all.
Beautiful! Perfect! Very elegantly understated. Definately one of the best ever posted here.
Does that mirror in the bathroom swivel? Where did it come from??
The mirror does swivel. It turns around complete 360 and has storage in the back. It is from IKEA, but it looks like they discontinued it because I can't find the product on the website.
my favourite so far--i love this space, and so light.
Very, very nice. Looks bigger than it is and that bookcase is just right. The colors are gentle enough to make the whole place float. (And the cat matches the bookcase---way cool.)
Wow, great place.
is it me or is there an abundance of black cats in this year's entries?
can you tell me where you got your blender?
Top 3 for me. The subtle color palette and clever bathroom plus all that light really appeal to me. Extra super cool.
I really like this. But I am a sucker for tulips. Seriously, they can make anything look 10 times better!
Wow you guys are nice! Thank you! I bought my blender from Amazon.com. It's the Waring Pro in Retro Green.
I like this a lot too, but I'm very curious and puzzled as to why you didn't use the Expedite shelves to partition off the bed area as a separate area?
Your space is so big, it seems like it wouldn't be necessary to have the bedroom area and the living room area all in one.
Love that blue couch. I've decided not to let the pets sway my voting, but kitty!
this is really wonderful.
the end
voted super duper
I love this place. my favorite so far.
Thank you, Pixie. We decided not to partition off the bed with the Expedit bookcase because we wanted to separate the office area from the living area. The office is the most problematic area.
Also, if you look carefully, there is a white curtain I hung from the "princess bed" post/railing that I pull closed to separate the bed.
I do now see the curtain on the bed. Do you do work in your home?
I do not, but Josh does. But we do have 2 desks and 2 desk chairs in the office.
Super cool. Very tasteful use of color and a great, well-organized layout.
This is a great space. And, I love the kitty cat, too!
I must know what the name of that color blue is on your walls. Is it by Benjamin Moore?
I would have voted supercool, but I just can't wrap my mind around the sink. It seems to close the space off so.
But you have an absolutely gorgeous apartment!
I especially like the colors you've used in the apartment and the bathroom looks neat, but in fairness to other submissions, that's an example of the architect's use of space.
There is something off-putting about setting all your furniture against walls, the largest of which is comprised primarily of windows. You have a lot of furniture it seems, and in lieu of paring down you have put it wherever it could fit in a rather conventional way. The best location for the bookcase (in my opinion, anyway) is is flush against the duct that divides the two sets of windows, in which case you'd create two distinct rooms, one just a bit larger than the other. There are a few different configurations that stand out to me (most of which involve grouping the office and living area together to allow for more guest seating), but I won't presume to re-arrange your apartment for you.
All I can say is that it's a nice apartment, I've voted "cool", and usually I don't post negative comments on these posts, but I don't believe it demonstrates an especially creative way to deal with a bank of windows.
love the couch.
On the bathroom, is there a door on the shower?Or does the layout make the water from the shower not scatter all over?
my favorite so far. it kinda has a similar vibe to my place. ;)
I really liked their space planning and how they divided the sections up with a book case, a canopied bed and etc. The lighting with the huge windows is a huge plus. The way they had a totally open floor plan to work with makes the space feel that much bigger. The kitchen could use a bit more color.
Did they intend to match the cat with the bookcase, or was that just a happy coincidence? Grin. I really enjoy the blue of the living room, which shocks me since I thought I hated that color... Apparently, I don't! In this place, it looks marvelous contrasted with the dark huge bookcase.
This apartment is huge, but I love what they did with it.
Very cool use of space. The whole place has a self-confident feel about space, the apartment's attitude belies it's small size. I like the way you've made the office feel spacious to fit your actual needs, rather than give up a few more feet to the living room for guest seating. You have fantastic light from those giant windows, and the paint/fabric colors make it feel very calm and serene. Looks like a warm, welcoming space to come home to at the end of a day.
That is one crazy bathroom, but I love it. Could you share the paint color?
this is my favorite of all the entries thus far.
can you tell me more about the kitchen/worktable?
Hi Everyone,
A few more answers to questions:
The blue paint in the bathroom is also the same blue paint we used for the single column in the living area behind the Sofa. It is BEHR Premium Plus, and the color is called Aqua Smoke 470E-3
The kitchen work table is --surprise!--target="_blank">IKEA VÄRDE Kitchen Workstation with extra shelves in the middle. We currently use that as our dining table, but we plan on adding the raised bar on one side to accommodate leg room.
As for the furniture being against the windows: We have rearranged our furniture in this apartment so many times, and this is the best layout that works for us right now; allowing free flowing movement for people to congregate if we have a party. One entire side of the apartment is 6 large windows--the only non window space is the blue column behind the couch. So there is still plenty of light coming into the apartment despite a lot of the furniture being against it.
Thank you for all your comments! We were not expecting as much positive feedback as this so it has certainly made our weekend!
There is an abundance of black cats in all stylish people's homes. :)
Oh ya, and yes there IS a shower door-it's clear glass and you can make out the chrome handle.
I do want to put more color in the kitchen... haven't decided where yet. There is more color on the top of the cabinets but I couldn't fit those into the photo.
And the kitty cat actually does not match the bookcase... The bookcase is chocolate brown and the cat is grey. Optical Illusion I guess?
Love the bathoom. Love.
Super cool from me - I would love to live in this space.
Now THIS is a super cool apartment. Calm, well-edited, and sophisticated, yet warm & personal.
Thanks for the reply Kelly/Josh,
I figured that was the case, and again, I think the colors you have used in your apartment are fabulous.
What a gorgeous bathroom!!! Especially the coral prints! Could you share the source of them?
This is awesome. This is what the Small/Cool contest is all about. The space shows creativity and innovative solutions in the face of close quarters. The only suggestions I'd have are about furnishings. Everyone loves the deals you can get at Ikea, but we all know that the quality doenst last very long. Now that the initial space is set up its time to start saving some money and investing it in pieces of furniture that will last a little longer than the 6 month half-life of Ikea.
Once you've got some solid furnishings you'll be able to take them with you if you move - adding and supplementing until you've got a solid, grown-up house. You guys are well on your way!
PS. Dont discount DWR entirely - I scrounge their floor sample lists all the time and have scored some awesome deals!
Nice place. What's a detective style door? The kind with a frosted glass window at the top with a name on it?
I took the coral design from Cavallini & Co. Coral Print File Folders. I scanned them in and printed out an enlargement and then used the outline as a stencil and hand-painted them in with red acrylic paint.
Sixfive: Actually, YEA! That's exactly what I mean when I say "detective door." Except instead of the "Name" on the door, it's the apartment number. The building is historically preserved and converted from the old Pacific Electric Rail Car line office space and train terminal. So the new owners had to preserve the old doors.
The coral stencils ROCK!!!
the last picture sealed the deal! u've done a great job.
correction 5/6 picture (the full room shot from the kitchen).
Ohmygod! I LOVE this space! It does feel a leeeeeeettle like a furniture showroom with the side view, but honestly, who doesn't occasionally have fantasies of living with all the furniture on the sales floor, laid out just so?
Granted I haven't seen all posted entries but I think this is my favorite so far! I love all the natural light, the concrete floors and I adore your color scheme. I'd come hang here anytime.
What a great floor plan; minus the wierd bathroom ensemble.
Does it work for you?
That sink set up looks so cumbersome.
But maybe it's not such a big deal.
Why not really work up the painted red coral thing?
It's really cool.
Do a much larger one 'growing' up from the bathroom countertop level.
Fun place.
Love that you arrive at the dining table upon entry.
Makes it warm and inviting...and an instant 'landing strip'.
i love your space! the way you divided each area is nice, and even though you have ikea furniture it doesnt look too ikea ya know.
loooove the sofa! where did you get it?
It's very nice, but it just looks like all they did was take their cues from what's "cool" now - seafoam tufted couch, red coral, etc...looks too much like the cover of every catalog that cramps my mailbox
I don't care if it's cool now, I really like the couch and have been looking for something exactly like that for a long time. Could you tell me where it is from?
Yes, yes, please tell where the couch is from!
Well done! Great space, open and clean. Everything you need and nothing more. I love the bathroom as does everyone! Very cool. You should be proud to call it your home. I would!
the sofa is the petrie sofa from crate and barrel.

A new scheme is set to give young people in Exmouth a say in local projects.
The town council is planning to set up an Exmouth Youth Council, which will come up with and implement projects they would like to see in the town, with council funding.
The scheme will start with year eight and year 10 pupils at Exmouth Community College, but could be extended to Exmouth children at other schools in future. It will begin in February, and will see tutor groups, through discussion and voting, and support from a steering group which includes councillors, identifying three projects they would like to see implemented.
There would then be a half-day youth council forum to vote for the preferred project. The town council has allocated £4,500 in its draft budget to finance the scheme.
