The boo-hoo blues

During the school year, I sometimes noticed that during the 4-5 o'clock time frame (homework time) he was often very teary and weepy - sometimes just losing it over nothing. He always swore that there was nothing going on at school, and his teacher said the same thing. He claimed he just didn't like homework. And usually, as soon as we were done with homework, he felt better. Amazing.
Yesterday I gave him the Concerta. We were at my other DS's t-ball game (thank goodness, it's his last one!) and DS #1 started this big thing about why couldn't we go to the snack bar (I don't have any money), well why couldn't we go anyways (I don't have any money and it's 47 miles to the snack bar), etc. On and on. Well, can't we just walk over there to it. Then "why do you never go for Alex's games, but you go for mine?". (I have gone after Alex's games before, and I don't ALWAYS go for his games.)
I didn't bite, and I didn't get loud and excited. Just quietly held my ground and mostly let him be. But sheesh - big old thing complete with tears and lots of sniffling.
This was fairly out of character for him, so that's why I'm thinking it's possibly med-related.
Is this rebound? Is this something you just deal with if the med is OK in most other areas? Does it get better? Is there anything you can do to head it off? How much control do they have over this?
I'd also given him Concerta Saturday when he had a make-up swimming lesson and 2 make-up baseball games. And I noticed nothing like this, but we did get a new puppy that evening, so that was probably a nice distraction.
Yesterday, prior to the game, we'd had to go to school, so he could take AR tests (they have to earn 4 points this summer), and he had read and tested on 4 books.

Can anyone suggest a great garlic press?
We get so little garlic through the holes of the press we have that I just end up chopping what is left in the press. Would love to find something that really works.
I like the OXO Garlic Press that's on sale and Crate & Barrel or Amazon.
Man, I'll say I can. It's the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press. I was sick of buying a poorly designed garlic press every year or two. They either break, are difficult to clean, oxidize from the dishwasher (aluminum ones) or just don't have the balls to do the job.
I've had the Kuhn RIkon for about six months. It's STAINLESS STEEL, so you it goes in the dishwasher, has a clever basket design that is easy to clean, and has some SERIOUS leverage that pulverizes garlic without much efffort. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO PEEL THE GARLIC IF YOU'RE LAZY!!
It costs about $30 on Amazon, but I'll be able to use this garlic press for all time and eternity.
Hope that helps!! Jeff.
re: jeff_in_redmond
I also have this, after the top-rated by CI Zyliss developed peeling of the finish where the garlic comes through (noted by CI in a follow up, but too late for me; yuck).
The Kuhn Rikon is worth the extra couple of bucks.
re: jeff_in_redmond
I also have this and strongly recommend it. Amazing press.
re: Paulustrious
Second on the Microplane. If you have to have a gadget, this one will at least be able to perform other kitchen tasks. A garlic press is a single use waste of money and kitchen space. And to Paulustrious' point, the results from the microplane are much much better.
re: Paulustrious
Does the skin not run through the grater, or does it just pulverize enough that it doesn't matter? I'd never thought about using the microplane, but I'm going to try it. I hate cleaning my press!
Frankly, yes... its called a big chef's knife. Just whap it with the side of the blade, pull off the skin, and dice up. My garlic press gathers dust..
re: grant.cook
Second the big ol' chef's knife. I've found that when using a garlic press it is still necessary to use a knife to remove the skin and ends before pressing, to scrape/cut off the pressed garlic from the outside of the press, or to remove the remains in the press and chop them up. The garlic press is just a redundant useless tool that takes more effort and cleanup than using a knife. Which I'm also usually using for other things. See no reason to introduce a single-function tool into the prep process.
re: janniecooks
I agree. And if you really need to pulverize it, throw some sea salt on it, and grind it with the side of your knife. Makes a lovely mush.
The Susi garlic press made by Zyliss. There's a Susi 2 now, but I haven't had a reason to buy it because mine has served me well for a couple decades now. It's easy to use and to clean.
re: Professor Salt
Second the Zyliss, except that after about 10 years the Teflon (?) coating inside has rather been worn away by the plunger, exposing the aluminium. Still works brilliantly and dishwashes well, though.
re: Professor Salt
I've had this one for over 5 years as well and it still works like a champ.
The chef's knife is the way to go, because you can chop the garlic as finely or as coarsely as you like. The Microplane grater is a close second, quick and easy, but you the garlic will be minced very finely. Using the Cuisinart Mini-Prep is convenient also, if it yields a consistency that you like. I agree with everyone who suggested these approaches.
If you absolutely must have a garlic press, the Henckel that I bought 20 years ago is, in my opinion, the very best. It's sturdy, stainless, two-piece, but like all garlic presses, not the easiest to clean. Amazon.com's website says that they're having trouble getting these. If they have been discontinued, Wusthof makes one, I noticed while surfing the Web, that is almost identical, $40.
I've been happy with my Henckel, I use it once in a great while, but even when rushed, I tend to use the Microplane grater, because it yields a useful fine consistency. The grater is versatile, and can be used to grate cheese over pasta, as a zester, or for many other purposes.
If my Henckel garlic press disappeared, even though it's nice to have available, I would not buy another garlic press.
re: Greg in Chicago
I second the Henckel, I've had it for 9 years. The low quality ones would just break on me in the past. But yes a good knife is of course the best option, it really depends on how I need my garlic.
re: Greg in Chicago
Garlic behaves differently depending on how it is processed. Sliced garlic, minced garlic, pureed by chef's knife garlic and garlic press garlic are all different. You can approximate the true crushing and cell wall damage done by a garlic press using a chef's knife, some salt, and several minutes of chopping, pulling the flat blade over the minced pieces, gathering up, rechopping. But a press is handier when you want to release a lot of juice and have a pulpy mass of garlic.
Glad you asked that question, as I used to have a Simplex garlic press that worked very well but it's been missing for a while. I found it online today, google simplex 8901. I gotta say most other garlic presses I've used are more trouble than they're worth, but this one worked great for me.
I LOVE my Rosle garlic press. Its 18/10 stainless steel and pressing the garlic is so easy. So is the clean up. I have owned mine ~8 years and will probably have it for the rest of my life. I think the Kuhn Rikon, which I just recently saw, is very similar in design. You can flip out the press where the garlic goes through from the rest of the press and so easily clean it. The price tag at $30-40 isn't cheap, but it is so worth it.
Hi Nosey -
I would second Huruta's mention of garlic press by Rösle. Very well constructed and it works very well.
However, ours sits in the drawer, as my wife and I started buying peeled garlic cloves in 2.5 Kilo bags this past year. We slice half and mince the other, which go into zip-lock bags in the Freezer.
We just take a bag out, break off what we need for cooking, and back goes the bag into the Freezer.
No mess, not much " fragrance, " and quicker to use.
re: SWISSAIRE
Well I haven't tried freezing garlic, but it sounds like a great idea. However, I'm very impressed with the Rösle garlic press. Very sturdy, easy to clean and very easy to use. I'm Italian, garlic is a food group for Italians, so I use a lot of garlic and a good press seems like a must for me. Although I'll admit to using a big chefs knife from time to time as others have suggested, as well.
re: mikie
Hi Mikie-
It's a GREAT garlic press.
We also use more than the normal amount used around here, probably more than in the entire Canton.
We have tried mashing, mincing, rough cuts, wafer-thin transparent slicing, cut in half, and using whole garlic cloves. Knife blade, side knife blade diced, the silicone peeler, and one or two presses before the Rösle press.
Now it's peeled, bagged, and ready to go.
One tip I would suggest is to use sandwich sized bags, dated with a felt-tip marker, and laid flat to freeze, with space near the zip line. No water or oil is needed.
Italian, Chinese, German, French cooking, etc. all require a bit of garlic to be enjoyable.
My newest garlic press is a joy. It has a press area large enough for big cloves, and has 33 holes. The 'press' half of the press swings around with 33 'plugs' that align with the holes and push any residual garlic out. There is no name brand on it, but I think it was about $12 at a grocery store.
Since bigging up the zyliss upthread I've also acquired one of these:
The crush is a bit chunky, but it's the only toy I've got which is guaranteed to outlive me!
I think pampered chef makes a great one...but i do admit...we use a lot of garlic and I tend to put the whacked naked cloves into the mini chop. Quick and easy.
I have been using a garlic press from Ikea for several years and I love it! It has a removable basket for easy cleaning and it is only 3.99.
I have a big drawer full of unloved garlic presses. The only one I use is the Zwilling Henckels Twin Select garlic press. It's almost exactly the same design as the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean garlic press (which I also own), but with MUCH better handles that are less slippery, give better leverage, and can't pinch your fingers.
My old Zyliss Susi broke recently, so I replaced it with the Susi 3:
Something of a disappointment I'm afraid. I'm getting significantly less pulp per bulb than from the earlier model.

Future of Nursing Initiative
Thinking about taking an online course or program? Here's what you should know before you sign up.
E-LEARNING-or electronic learning-means using the Internet to access and participate in online modules or courses. Most nurses who participate in e-learning use it to earn continuing education (CE) credit, receive a certificate in a particular topic, or even obtain an academic degree.
E-learning courses are offered online using course-management software, such as WebCT or Blackboard. Schools select which one to use and let you access your course through it. Such software programs use e-mail, discussion boards, chat rooms, and testing tools to organize information and support online communication.
Some instructors may use all of those features to promote interaction and collaborative online work. For example, they may require students to discuss readings in a discussion forum, where each student posts her comments for others to read when they have time and add a response. Or students may be expected to collaborate with each other in group work using chat rooms, where everyone is online at the same time, typing in comments to create a virtual conversation. Other instructors (or programs) may structure their coursework so it's more self-paced with little interaction with other students.
E-learning programs may offer all courses online or blend online work with on-site or in-class sessions. For example, one course might include online lectures plus a clinical practicum that a preceptor can supervise.
The greatest advantage of e-learning is convenience-the ability to access courses any time on almost any computer. With courses that are offered entirely online, distance becomes a non-issue-you can sign up for a course offered by a college across the country because your presence isn't required on-campus. Scheduling may be crucial, though, as courses might be scheduled within semesters or have specific start and stop dates you need to know. But many are continuously available, and you can tap into them when you need to learn something or when you're ready to advance your career through academic studies.
The major disadvantages of e-learning are that you'll need computer access and you'll need to devote time and effort to learning how to use the computer and course management software.
You may already be familiar with e-learning systems available in your facility that you use for mandatory education, such as OSHA training. Courses conferring CE credits are available in almost any area of interest. Certificate programs, a series of modules or courses that award a certificate when you complete competencies associated with the course content, are also available to prepare nurses for various roles-for example, as nurse educators.
The most popular and readily available are the RN-to-BSN programs. Next in popularity are MSN programs, and with increasing frequency, doctoral programs.
If you're interested in enrolling in an online nursing program, investigate the provider's and program's reputation and credentials. Is the provider accredited? Is the program validated by official agencies? Will you be able to transfer credits earned to another school?
The most efficient way to locate courses you're interested in is to search online. Start by checking the list of programs at the American Association of Colleges of Nursing site (http://www.aacn.nche.edu). Check related Web sites, such as other nursing organizations-the American Nurses Association (http://www.nursingworld.org) and Sigma Theta Tau International (http://www.stti.org) sites, for example-as well as organizations in your specialty area of nursing.
Everyone learns in different ways. For example, some prefer to be in a classroom where the instructor guides learning; others are much more self-directed and can learn independently. Although everyone can adapt to learning in an online environment, some people simply manage e-learning better than others. Self-discipline, good time management, and solid computer skills will greatly help you cope with online work.
Besides thinking about your learning style preferences, consider the technology issues. Do you have access to a good computer with an Internet connection? Are you willing to tackle the course management system and learn how to navigate within the course? Typically, you'll have access to a tutorial about the system when you sign up.
E-learning, like classroom education, can be expensive. Are you willing to invest in a good computer if you don't have one now? Some schools require specific computers and applications, so check with the university before spending any money (its Web site should list this information for all incoming students). Will your employer reimburse you for successfully completed courses? Are scholarships or other funding possibilities available?
Finally, e-learning requires a substantial time commitment. It's not easier than the traditional classroom approach and it requires just as much time. Be flexible-with many courses, you may have weekly assignments that you can do at any time during the week; other courses may require your presence online at a specific day and time for group chats, much as a regular class would.
As with any course or program of study, before you decide to enroll, identify your career goals. Do you want to learn a specific skill? Is your object to become certified in a particular area? Do you need information about taking care of a certain patient population or cross-training for a particular area of nursing? Are you seeking an academic degree to prepare for your next level of practice? Once you've answered these questions, you're better prepared to decide about investing your time, energy, and money.
E-learning offers many opportunities and benefits for career enrichment and advancement. If you believe it's the right learning environment for you and you can commit the time and resources needed, e-learning can offer you a rich world of educational opportunities beyond the traditional classroom.

Colombian Foreign Minister Jaime Bermudez, on his first visit to Israel, is keen to broaden bilateral relations at all levels.He emphasized this several times at a meeting on Wednesday with President Shimon Peres, whom he told that he was reading Start-up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle, by Dan Senor and Saul Singer. He found the book inspirational, and said he was "learning a lot."It would be good for Israel and Colombia to come out together with a project for innovation and entrepreneurship, he suggested.There was instant chemistry between Bermudez and Peres, who commented favorably on the state of both civilian and military relations between the two countries and said that Israel would happily do all that was required to enhance that relationship.Peres also expressed appreciation for what Colombia is doing in its struggle against terrorism.Some of the weaponry that Colombia is using in battling terrorism originates from Israel. Over the years, Colombia has bought planes, drones, weapons and intelligence systems from Israel.Peres asked about Noemi Sanin Posada, who was foreign minister of Colombia from 1991–1994 and served as president of the Comena Housing and Savings Corporation. He was told by Bermudez that she was running third in the polls in the race for the presidency.Posada, who was the first woman in Latin America to manage a finance corporation, was 30 years old at the time of her appointment. She later served as communications minister, ambassador, then foreign minister, followed by two more ambassadorial postings. She has made two previous unsuccessful bids for the presidency. The election will be held on May 30. Peres described her as "very courageous" and "a wonderful lady."In the trading of compliments, Bermudez said to Peres: "I admire your people. I admire your country and I admire you. You have many friends in Colombia."Colombia has been compared to Israel by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who, speaking in negative terms, has called the Colombian government "the Israel of Latin America." There have been severe military and diplomatic tensions between Colombia and Venezuela during the administration of Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.

Protesters and demonstrators from across the country took to the streets Tuesday night in support of Michael Brown, the unarmed teen who was killed by a Ferguson, Missouri police officer.
At least 21 people were arrested as protesters marched through Atlanta on Tuesday.
With the decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, the St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney's Office has released documents and evidence pertaining to the grand jury investigation.
The Ferguson Burger Bar, which chose not to board its windows in the wake of unrest in the town, went unscathed Monday night after the grand jury's decision was announced.
Protesters in Ferguson, Missouri turned over a police car in front of Ferguson City Hall and set it on fire Tuesday night.
Crowds have gathered outside the Ferguson Police Department for a second night in protest of the grand jury's decision to not indict police officer Darren Wilson, while National Guard has been increased to 2,200.
Hundreds of people gathered at rallies in Atlanta on Tuesday to protest the grand jury's decision not to indict a Ferguson police officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager.
Protesters briefly blocked Atlanta's Downtown Connector on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Officer Darren Wilson spoke exclusively to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Tuesday about his role in the death of Michael Brown.

£50,000 Opportunity For Disabled Entrepreneurs
A new award is available to help overcome the barriers disabled people face in business.
EasyJet entrepreneur, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou and Leonard Cheshire, the UK's largest disability charity, are looking for a disabled entrepreneur who has shown that the barriers placed in the way of disabled people have not stopped them in their quest for success in business.
The winning entrepreneur will be presented with a cheque for £50,000 at the British Chamber of Commerce's prestigious Chamber Awards ceremony to be held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London on Thursday 29th November.
Stelios explained: "I am very passionate about encouraging an enterprising spirit throughout British culture. Helping remove the barriers disabled people face to being in business is an important part of this. That is why I am keen to establish this new award which will give disabled people an opportunity to show the world what they are able to do rather than have them negatively judged by their disability. I look forward to seeing the best of the entries and in due course handing over the cheque to the winner."
The closing date for applications is 5pm on the 14th September 2007.

Dec 26, 2012For a movie that was meant to take us on a wild ride with idols from the spontaneous beat culture, it sure does follow a familiar road map. Always maintaining the same route and never attempting to venture out into an uncharacteristic art form, On the Road proves to be an underwhelming and disappointing road film, on many levels. This is primarily due to the narrow screenplay that sticks to that aforementioned, familiar path; and the dull central presence of … Collapse
Jul 19, 2014Some of the cinematography is worthwhile, bits of acting are noteworthy but, in the end, it's a book you can't really make into a film.
What would be shocking and extraordinary in the late 50's now looks fairly tame and often sad. there is a lack of rhythm to the editing, too many unconnected ideas, big, sprawling and dull.
If they had tried for something smaller, maybe it might have worked.
Dec 31, 2012Boring. Confusing. Pretentious. Drawn Out. Basically...doo-doo.
Aug 31, 2013One of the worst road movies ever made. I saw it when it first came out and I wanted like crazy to leave the cinema earlier. I didn't leave earlier but I cried in the end for my money. If I new that this film is so awful, I would spend my money to Star Trek or The Lone Ranger.
Nov 13, 2014"On the Road" 10 Scale Rating: 4.0 (Bad) ...
The Good: If it weren't for Garrett Hedlund, this film would have been a disaster. His performance at least keeps you interested.
The Bad: Some books just don't translate to film very well ... Kerouac's "On the Road" is one of them. The film seemed to gloss over the more important parts of the book, yet focus on the slower (and more boring) parts. It is especially rushed during the last thirty minutes. If you've ever read the book, then you will cringe once you see that only 30 minutes remain and there is no way they can fit it all in. Lastly: Kristin Stewart.… Expand
The result is a movie that, like the book, is episodic and has dips in energy but has more than its share of glory and illumination.
Notwithstanding the characters' spiritual camaraderie, Salles' emphasizes the hard physical labor and loneliness in Sal's story, including the jittery rigors of the writing process. When he reaches a crossroads choice between down-and-out Dean and his own rising career, Sal senses that except for the words on a typewritten scroll, his life on the road is gone, real gone.
Even if Salles' film can't possibly capture the impact of its source, it's intriguing enough to rate a place in the ever-expanding mythology of "the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live."

'Reworking,' but No Theft, 'Da Vinci' Author Says
He was testifying on behalf of his British publisher, Random House U.K., in a copyright infringement suit brought by two of the three authors of a 1982 nonfiction book, "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail," also published by Random House. Mr. Brown called the accusation that he copied the thematic "architecture" of that book — which, like "The Da Vinci Code," posits a conspiracy to protect the secret of Jesus' bloodline — "completely fanciful." Patrick Janson-Smith, a literary agent who was involved with both books when he was the publishing director of a division of Random House, testified that he saw similarities between them but no evidence of copying. " 'The Da Vinci Code' is "a romping piece of good fiction," he said. "Like any thriller," he added, "no doubt it took ideas from any number of sources."

The stupidity of beaurocracy always wins out over logic. Why didn't someone offer them $1 (or whatever) for the lot of them, since it was supposed to be an auction? Then that person could have gave them away as they saw fit.
Me and a few other students asked them if we could take them but they said no, they couldn't give them away. So there they were, all those IBM PS/1 and PS/2 systems just sitting there in the pouring rain. As a final insult they had us help load them into the garbage bins after they were destroyed.

The Saguenay is the major tributary of the St Lawrence River. Tremendously deep in places (up to 275 m (900 ft)), all sorts of marine life including whales and salmon are found in its tidal, salt water reaches.
The countryside through which the Saguenay Fiord twists and turns (sometimes between cliffs 180-300 m (590-980 ft) high) presents three quite different faces, dense forest giving way in turn to agricultural land and industrial development.By far the best - and in some parts the only - way to see the Saguenay is by water. There are cruises daily from Chicoutimi between June and September.HistoryThe Saguenay Fiord was discovered by Jacques Cartier on his second expedition up the St Lawrence in 1535/36. Having largely escaped colonization by Europeans until the mid-19th c. the sunken valley underwent its most dramatic transformation following the Second World War. Exploitation of the Saguenay for hydro-electric power led to the construction of one of the world's largest aluminum plants at Jonquière. Meat processing and paper are other industries which now play an important role in the local economy.
Every year between the end of July and October hundreds of whales congregate where the Saguenay flows into the St Lawrence. The result is a unique spectacle - and an unmatched opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures at close quarters from aboard one of the "whale-watching" boats from Baie Ste-Catherine, Tadoussac or Rivière-du-Loup. As many as ten different species of whale have been identified among those which gather here, including the huge fin whales and white whales.
Parc national du Saguenay
Parc national du Saguenay consists of three sections: Baie-Éternité, Baie-du-Moulin-à-Baude and Baie-Sainte-Marguerite. Visitors will find cabins, huts, and campgrounds within the park.The Parc national du Saguenay is known for its beautiful fjord, shorelines, and coastal landscape.
Address: 91 Notre-Dame, Rivière-Éternité, QU G0V1P0, Canada
Riviere-Eternite, Canada
From Rivière-Eternité a 9 km (51/2 mi.) footpath leads to the 457 m (1560 ft) high Cap-Trinité with its statue of the Virgin Mary erected in 1881. Of interest in Rivière-Eternité itself is the Parc national du Saguenay Interpretation Center.
Musee du Fjord, La Baie, Canada
Primarily an industrial town, La Baie nevertheless boasts the Musée du Fjord with worthwhile collections of ethnography and regional art treasures.The collection highlights the cultural and natural history of the fjord of Saguenay. Visitors can learn about the ecosystem of the fjord as well as the people who have contributed to the history of this area.
Chicoutimi, Canada
Attractively situated on a hill in heavily wooded country on the south bank of the Saguenay, the town of Chicoutimi more than lives up to its sobriquet of "Queen of the North".However, as of 2002, Chicoutimi merged to officially become part of the city of Saguenay.
Musée du Saguenay
Among Chicoutimi's attractions is the Musée du Saguenay-Lac St-Jean in the Cultural Center. There are comprehensive ethnological and archaeological displays of Indian artifacts, etc. as well as a collection of early 20th c. furniture.
Cathédrale de St-François-Xavier
Built in 1921 and dedicated to St-François-Xavier the Cathédrale de St-François-Xavier in Chicoutimi has a lovely painting in the transept vaulting.A magnificent view along the southern shore of the sunken valley is obtained from the Pont Dubuc which crosses the Saguenay.
Jonquiere, Canada
Jonquière, another industrial town, has a most unusual church, Notre-Dame-de-Fatima, shaped like a wigwam.
Musee de la Nature, Ste-Rose-du-Nord, Canada
Worth seeing is the Musée de la Nature in picturesque little Ste-Rose-du-Nord. It has extensive collections of stuffed animals and wooden artifacts (magnifying glasses, witches broomsticks).

announced this morning, the tech giant has also confirmed reports that it will be closing its Xbox Entertainment Studios division within the next few months.
Though the closure of Xbox Entertainment Studios will drastically reduce Microsoft's plans for original Xbox programming, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios Phil Spencer claims that a few key projects will live on. "Xbox will continue to support and deliver interactive sports content like 'NFL on Xbox,' and we will continue to enhance our entertainment offering on console by innovating the TV experience through the monthly console updates," Spencer wrote in a statement to Recode.
According to Variety, it also appears likely that the Ridley Scott-produced Halo prequel Halo: Nightfall will survive the death of Xbox Entertainment Studios, both because it's quite a ways into development already and because Microsoft is currently in negotiations with Showtime to broadcast the series on premium cable alongside its Xbox debut.
Update: Microsoft has contacted us to confirm that Halo: Nightfall will continue production. You'll find the official statement below.
"... Nancy Tellem, Jordan Levin and some of the XES team will stay on and remain committed to original programming already in production like the upcoming documentary series 'Signal to Noise' whose first installment takes on the rise and fall of gaming icon Atari and of course, the upcoming game franchise series 'Halo: Nightfall,' and the 'Halo' Television Series which will continue as planned with 343 Industries. Xbox will continue to support and deliver interactive sports content like 'NFL on Xbox,' and we will continue to enhance our entertainment offering on console by innovating the TV experience through the monthly console updates. Additionally, our app partnerships with world-class content providers bringing entertainment, sports and TV content to Xbox customers around the world are not impacted by this organizational change in any way and remain an important component of our Xbox strategy.

The Dopamine Squirt You Got From Fab's Failure
I read this morning that Fab was selling for $15M, half cash half stock, 18 months after raising $150M at a $1.5B valuation…As I clicked through to the article, I felt the same disgusting feeling you feel when driving by a car accident and trying to catch a glimpse of the blood and gore. It's an ugly behavior…a guilty, sensational, non-empathetic lust to watch the wreck in all it's gruesome detail…and for some reason we, here in startupland, can't get enough of the high profile gore. We say that failure is acceptable in this world, and when a seed funded company doesn't make it to the A round, we generally embrace that human and try to lift them up as opposed to scrutinizing his fall, but when fancy people fail, when a high profile person's new product flops, or a company once on a tear, hit's a bump in the road, it's such an easy story, or off color comment, or joke to crack…that we actually bond over watching the car crash together…it's just a sick behavior.
What does this say about our tolerance for exploration? How can we encourage risk taking, and pushing the envelope when we behave like this? Why does past success or praise somehow strip a founder or company of their right to be imperfect? This world loves to jump on the bandwagon when something is hot, and loves to jump off and judge when the same thing cools off…and there's this implicit "i was right about this" or "i saw this coming" or everyone else who was bragging about "being right" on the way up was actually wrong and somehow their loss levels things out and becomes my gain…it's just such an ugly, detached relationship to the creative process…and it only really exists in people who are just far enough a way to look at the thing that's being judged, as opposed to the process of creation, the risk taking, the attempt…which comes in many flavors, and in my opinion is beautiful even when it ends in defeat.
I know absolutely nothing about Fab…i'm not an investor, have never met them, didn't bother to read what went right and what went wrong…but if it's not Fab this week, it's something else last week or next week…and I'm a little tired of the sensationalism and expose (ex-pose-ay…i don't know how to make that e character w the thing over it), camera rolling in your face, snickering that comes with a visible defeat.
