Awesome DC-based deliciousness alert! I first ran across Nomad Dumplings during a record fair at Right Proper Brewing in Brookland – they were so good that I got two orders! Handmade with whole foods, Nomad's line of precooked dumplings can be steamed, pan-fried, or even microwaved. Even better? Two of the flavors, Hunan Hottie and Xi'an Warrior, are vegan! My personal favorite is the Hunan Hottie (I'm partial to the spiciness), but the Xi'an Warrior is a close second. I picked these up at Old City Market just off of H Street, but I hear they're expanding into Whole Foods, so I'd expect to start seeing them all over. You can check the website for more locations.
Just for Giggles
Just a few blocks east of Union Station sits the DC Craft Beer Cellar, one of a growing number of stores across the country run by "beer geeks" and dedicated to… well, the craft. DC's lovely, museum-like store is curated by said geeks, who can help you find just what you're looking for, and probably about 15 fantastic things that weren't looking for and never knew you definitely needed.
A literal case in point – the 6-pack carrier that houses each month's beer of the month club selections:
For $20 a month the experts at the Cellar put together 6 beers (or 12 for $40, if you're feeling extra Sampler-y), usually revolving around a monthly theme. Along with the selection comes a monthly rundown and description of each brew, because this is DC and nerdiness and drinking goes hand-in-hand.
So far we've enjoyed a box dedicated to sours, sessions, Oktoberfest, and porters and stouts.
The design nerd in me would like to point out that while the beers are certainly awesome, one of the things I look forward to is actually the labels… I mean, how cool is this one?
If you're in DC, definitely go check out the Cellar and pick up something you haven't tried before (or check their website to see if a store is near you). Backyard BBQ pro tip: they can order kegs!
Emily St. John Mandel is also the author of Station Eleven, which was so good I wanted to make everyone read it just so I could talk to people about it without spoiling anything. I've been meaning to read more of her work ever since.
Last Night in Montreal is a short novel with a mysterious woman who can't stop running and dead languages that describe the indescribable. Honestly… I'm nerding out over the language stuff, mostly, so that might need to factor into my next to-read 🙂
Ugh why did I get on this train so late?! History AND science fiction? Questions of fate, destiny, and free will? Kick-ass female characters? NBC WHY DID YOU CANCEL THIS?
This is one of THE best, most motivating, vegan podcasts I've listened to (and I've been listening to A LOT). Sometimes my vegan transition has felt a little… overwhelming. Hearing that "progress over perfection" is ok, and learning about the varying stories that brought people to veganism (her guests are awesome!), is so inspiring.
I had what was probably the best doughnut I've ever had in my life the other day. It was vegan. No! Wait! I'm not crazy, hear me out…
I really love plants. I go through times where I don't eat meat for awhile. In fact I haven't had any since Christmas and I'm thinking about making the change more permanent.
But if you had told me a week ago that I'd have a savory "everything bagel" doughnut filled with cream cheese, and it would be the best doughnut I've ever had, and that it was VEGAN… well, I would have called you a dang liar. Actually, I would probably have said something slightly nicer than "liar", but I would seriously have questiond your sanity.
My favorite juice/smoothie place, South Block, has been taunting the area with a sign saying "Vegan Doughnut Pop Up Coming Soon" for a few days. I was super curious, so when the day finally came, I tried one. Ok, actually, I tried two. Guys. They're amazing.
B. Doughnut is a local doughnut shop with locations across the DC area. So far, they're only offering vegan versions of their doughnuts at South Block locations – but I hope they'll be expanding. Because… wow. Full disclosure: I'm not a sugar hound most days, so doughnuts aren't my usual jam (unintentional jelly-filled joke). But, I do enjoy one occasionally, so I gave the coconut flavor a shot because I haven't really run across anything coconut that I didn't like. It was so good I tried the everything bagel one as well.
I regret nothing.
Not being a huge doughnut person it's hard for me to describe/compare – but these things melt in your mouth. And the savory version especially, was out of this world. The dough + savory topping combination reminded me of langos, a Hungarian fried bread that I fell in love with in Budapest.
Sure, these aren't the healthiest options for breakfast, but I don't think it's healthy to never indulge, either. Life's too short not to have something fried every now and again 🙂 As an added bonus, I can treat myself to one of these without having to worry about the nasty consequences of having dairy (I love it, but it does not love me…).
The Clarendon South Block location assured me that they would be stocking them for the foreseeable future, so you can get your fix there if you want to give it a shot. The other Virginia South Block locations will be selling them as well, check with your location for more info!
When I got an email about "Asana and Architecture", a monthly yoga class held at the National Building Museum, I couldn't resist. Washington, D.C. routinely scores as one of America's fittest cities – we like our workouts. It's also a city that is teeming with museums. And full of nerds like me that wouldn't mind combining the two.
Beth A. Wolfe, the instructor behind kitten yoga and goat yoga, led us through an energizing all-levels class in the light-drenched great hall of the museum. There were plenty of modifications for both beginner and expert yogis, and the only pose I had to worry about was savasana. Because I had a hard time keeping my eyes closed. Because look at this place!
If you're in the DC area, or plan to visit soon, you're in luck! The aptly-named "Asana and Architecture" is a monthly shindig and it includes a tour of the museum! Check out the building museum's calendar for more info.
Someone at Duolingo has a sense of humor. Or maybe algorithms are just generally socially awkward.
If you've been looking to brush up on a language you've probably heard of or downloaded the app Duolingo. It's a great way to brush up on the basics of a language, and the gamification of the process (points/levels/timers) makes it a lot more fun than flashcards.
But that's not all the fun there is to be had. Some of the translations are pretty entertaining. I'm not sure if it's an algorithm or a programmer with a goofy sense of humor – but there are definitely some sentences I would not recommend using in real life. For example:
The uber honest:
This had to be on purpose, right? Even the grumpy old man character is on point.
The creepy:
Uh, why are you asking?
The SUPER creepy:
Witnesses to WHAT?! Are you and the "do you live alone" guy in this together?!
The weird:

You know that awesome feeling you get when you put your hand into the pocket of a coat you haven't worn in awhile and you pull out a dollar? This is like that, but with photos, and 1000x better.
I was rooting around some photos that were backed up on my computer and found some photos from Ireland 2015 that I thought were lost! This includes some amazing drives like Slea Head, the Dingle Penninsula, and the Ring of Kerry, as well as…
This cute little photo was shot at a sheep farm in County Galway, a lovely place called Joyce County Sheepdogs. This family-run farm breeds sheepdogs and also provides an amazing herding demonstration with their dogs and herd of sheep. Joe, a third generation sheep farmer and owner of Joyce County, is inspiring to watch and his bond/communication with his dog is unlike anything I've ever seen.
Get ready for lots of Ireland posts y'all – hope you enjoyed this quick taste of things to come!
Or, at least, almost reading – it just came out and I'm saving it for my vacation. I absolutely loved Weir's The Martian, and am hoping for the same combination of sarcastic humor and "oh **** are they going to make it?!" tension.
Have I mentioned I play D&D? I'm a half-elf sorceress that is permanently blue because of a spell gone awry. Shut up, this blog is called The Sampler, you know what you were getting into.
Oh hey, I finally started listening to audiobooks. I am woefully behind the time in this regard, but I couldn't help listening to the onslaught of amazing podcasts that we've been so lucky to get the past few years.
This was really enjoyable and I found it super relatable. Not in an "I'm also a hilarious and likable mega-star" way, obviously, but in an "I recognize that particular brand of anxiety" kind of way.
Given the choice, the audiobook is totally the way to go – Kendrick actually reads it herself, and her timing really adds something to the hilarity of it all.
The whole place is sleek, atmospheric, and modern. Perhaps that's part of the reason it doesn't feel like a large venue despite being able to pack in 6,000 attendees.
Along a portion of waterfront in Southwest DC, a major redevelopment undertaking has been transforming the area for the past few years. When I first moved to DC Arena Stage and it's stage productions were the only reason I ventured to the area of Southwest. Now, the area is full of soon-to-be-opened shops, restaurants, and new residential buildings.
What I was most excited about, however, was the opening of The Anthem, the newest venue that is part of the DC area's I.M.P. concert promotion company. I.M.P. is one of the last independent concert companies in the country, and everything I read about their newest undertaking made it sound like it was shaping up to be one of the most thoughtfully-designed and interesting venues in the country.
Full disclosure, I had not been to a lot of concerts in my life until the past year or so. Unless we're counting classical music, which, isn't exactly what we're talking about here. It's not that I don't love music – but concerts can be expensive, keeping up on who was touring wasn't a habit I was in, and my musical tastes are pretty varied. It doesn't help that I both listen to a mishmash of everything, and terrible about actually keeping track of which artist is playing in the background.
But hey – we have Spotify now. It's a far cry from listening to the radio and trying to time it just right so that I could record my new favorite song onto a cassette tape. I can make lists and organize everything – and Spotify literally tells me who is coming to DC based on my preferences. It's bad for my wallet, but has been great for getting tickets 🙂
Once The Anthem began to sell tickets I snapped up tickets for Kaleo and Zedd. Like I said… varied tastes. Kaleo was two weeks ago, Zedd this weekend, so I've had plenty of time to scope out the place and let me tell you – it's fantastic. Both concerts had very different vibes – folk/rock/blues vs EDM – and the venue served them both well.Reviews were describing the space as both capable of holding a huge crowd, but also retain an intimate feeling. I'm not sure how this was accomplished, but The Anthem did not disappoint. I don't think there's a bad place in the house to enjoy the music. Plus, the venue itself is just plain… pretty. The whole place is sleek, atmospheric, and modern. Perhaps that's part of the reason it doesn't feel like a large venue despite being able to pack in 6,000 attendees.
The venue is separated into two ticket types – General Admission and "Super Excellent Seats". I was in General Admission for both, but after seeing the Super Excellent Seats as well, I wouldn't mind paying the extra cash for those seats for concerts that I absolutely, positively, have to see all of the stage. The kind of pompous name aside, the Super Excellent Seats are actually a great concept. They are on balcony levels around the room, all with a great view. The big sell for me, however, is that you need to show up with your ID for these seats, because only the original purchaser can use the tickets. Scalping/resales are definitely a big issue for a lot of performances, and it's nice to know that as a fan, I get a first shot at these seats.
Overall, I'm really looking forward to my next concert at The Anthem!
Did you know that art is the 4th largest segment of the world's black market? I've heard the stories of the impressive multi-million dollar thefts from high-profile museums, but what I didn't realize is how prevalent theft is at all levels of the art world. Looters have been selling off the cultural heritage of others for a profit since Ancient Egypt – and that hasn't changed in modern years. This may be non-fiction, but it sometimes reads like a movie. Plus, Margaret Atwood is on the cover recommending it, so… you know it's good.
Will and Grace, for obvious reasons. Get thee to Hulu, catch up, and let's watch some reunion TV.
Is the Mona Lisa on display at the Louvre a fake? Did the CIA funnel money into abstract expressionism in order to help win the Cold War? These and many more questions are just a few of the weird and intriguing questions that Artcurious tackles in a one hour podcast. I'm on a bit of an art history kick lately, so finding this gem was great for when I'm in the mood to learn something interesting and, admittedly, pretty nerdy.

Characteristics: Modal is a fiber made from wood pulp. It comes from cellulose and is very similar to viscose. This fiber is often added to cotton, linen, cashmere or wool to make softer and smoother fabrics. Modal can be also crafted as a microfiber. Micromodal is used for the creation of fresh and light fabrics. Its fineness make it similar to precious fibers.
PROs: The fabrics made of modal don't wear out. Compared to cotton, they shrink and fade more rarely. They are smooth, soft and, if washed in hard water, do not retain minerals or limestone. Modal can be ironed after washing, as you will do with pure cotton. If mixed with fine materials such as cashmere and silk, it enhances their properties keeping the price low.
Further information:Contrary to what you might think, Modal has a natural origin. It is made of cellulose, derived from beech wood!

BOCA RATON — Florida Atlantic president Dr. John Kelly does not normally play favorites with the student-athletes who represent his university.
Owls senior linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, the heart of FAU's defense and a prospective future NFL player, is a different story for the fifth-year president.
"I've heard his story, where he came from, and I know what he's done as a leader on this campus," Kelly told The Post on Wednesday. "I can't think of a better role model as a student-athlete than Azeez."
Al-Shaair was included as one of 12 members on a search committee to help determine the next Owls athletic director following Pat Chun's departure in January. Baseball coach John McCormack, women's basketball coach Jim Jabir, and faculty athletics representative Kim Dunn were among the names who chose Missouri deputy athletic director Brian White, who was introduced Wednesday.
Al-Shaair, 21, called it a "big honor" to represent the student-athletes and lend his voice about what he wanted from the next athletic director.
"In my eyes, we wanted someone (like Pat Chun)," Al-Shaair explained. "Me just coming in as a freshman (in 2015) and seeing (Chun) kind of like gravitate to the players and stuff like that, that was something I took to heart and thought was really special."
Al-Shaair has become one of the more notable stories at FAU not only because of his play on the field, but his personal struggles after a house fire in 2012. Current FAU football coach Lane Kiffin has consistently praised Al-Shaair, who is raising two of his brothers in an off-campus apartment, as one of the team's main leaders.
When FAU broke ground on The Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence in Jan. 2017, Al-Shaair joined former Owls running back Gregory "Buddy" Howell Jr. as student-athletes who spoke that night.
Though Al-Shaair did talk with teammates and other student-athletes about qualities they wanted, the linebacker said most of the conversation came from bouncing ideas off others on the advisory board.
Al-Shaair, who with a strong senior season could potentially be selected in next spring's NFL Draft, added he was grateful for the relationship he's forged with Kelly over the years.
"I'm just a kid who (didn't) have much in my life so for him to feel that way about me, it's special," Al-Shaair said.

I do not endorse the Creation Museum (even though Mountain Dew apparently does); in fact, I think it's silly. Read on for the true purpose of this post.
I don't watch much TV, and I certainly don't care about advertisements, so when my dad called me away from my most recent project to see a freaking commercial, I was highly irritated. Even so, I lifted my lazy butt from my office chair and went to see what he was calling me about.
"I think someone ripped off your cartoon style!" my dad said.
He played back the following commercial on his DVR:
I was dazzled! What a delight it was to see old-fashioned, hand-drawn animation on television! I was so rapt in studying the art on display, that I didn't pay attention to what was being advertised. To be honest, I didn't care.
My dad said that this animated version of Ken Ham looked like something out of one of my cartoons. I was flattered, but this is clearly the work of a professional studio, not an amateur like myself. Still, I can kind of see where he's coming from: the small eyes, the big, expressive hands, the exaggerated, Chuck-Jones-like motions: these are all common elements of my sprouting style. It's so good that I've been watching this commercial over and over so I can study it.
Even though I don't care for the museum's message, I think they've taken a clever approach with this spot. It grabs your attention without being crass, loud, or aggressive. It parades a platoon of fun characters in one long shot, without any disorienting cuts. In this age of sterile, overblown CGI, and frenetic, tweened-to-Hell Flash cartoons, I think people are craving some detailed, frame-by-frame animation like this. I know I am.

The starting point for every application which uses the UModel API is the IApplication interface.
To create an instance of the application object, call WScript.GetObject("", "UModel.Application") from JScript, or a similar function from your preferred development environment, to create a COM object.
|For 32-bit UModel, the registered name, or programmatic identifier (ProgId) of the COM object is UModel.Application. For 64-bit UModel, the name is UModel_x64.Application.
There is no need (or other way) to create any objects other than to use the complete UModel API. All interfaces are accessed through other objects, with the application object (IApplication) as the starting point.
|When implementing a UModel IDE plugin, there is no need to create an instance of the application object, because UModel is already running and the current instance of the application object is provided by IApplication as parameter for all important methods of IUModelPlugIn.
The application object consists of the following parts (each indentation level indicates a child–parent relationship with the level directly above):
IUMLData (and all other derived UML data interfaces)
Once you have created an application object, you can start using the functionality of UModel. You will generally either open an existing document, create a new one, or access the active document (IDocument).
IDocument corresponds to a UModel project and can be used to include sub-projects, generate documentation, synchronize model and code..., while also giving access to the main UMLData objects (root package, GUI root element, also see Object model UMLData).

Due to popular demand Joystiq thought it best to clarify further why exactly, they feel Sony's move to drop backwards compatibility from the 40GB PAL model was at best misguided and at worst cruel to its consumer base.
First off, the cost to Sony for including the software emulation is very minimal. Though some people have cited the Emotion Engine and Graphics Synthesizer, both of those pieces of hardware were removed from the PAL design in late February 2007 and cost an estimated $27. Essentially, the software emulation has been running entirely on PS3 hardware for the full extent of its tenure in the PAL region. So that $27 that Sony is presumably saving by not using software backwards compatibility is misinformed.
which included the EE CPU, the system RAM, the GS GPU, the GS ED-RAM (yes, it's expensive), as well as the I/O chip. Really, if you want to play PS2 games on the PS3, just get the 80GB; if you don't care about them, get the 40GB.
*80GB still has GS chip, ED-RAM, and I/O chip.
That and umm
So who are th e people that buy a 2k tv a 400 PS3 to play old ungly previous gen sd games ?
The people who might want to only have the PS3 sitting in their TV station as opposed to a PS3 and PS2.
The PS3 is doing a very, very good job with PS2 games. I'm rediscovering some good old PS2 games and it's amazing how good they look...
But like many people said, if you don't care about the PS2, buy the cheaper version, and if you care a little bit, then trust me, you should pay more and go for the good old 60gb version while they last : )
One last comment: Another proof that quite often comments from a blog are not to be trusted... This gentlemen was saying there was no PS2 hardware left on the PAL PS3, and then came back to update his blog with: "With some help from Engadget Japan's Ittousai, we have found diagrams indicating the switch from Emotion Engine + Graphic Synthesizer chip to just a graphics synthesizer chip, implying the software emulation was partially hardware-supported"
So from no hardware, to: "oops, there's some left"?
And sure enough, people have been quick to spread this (mis)information to other web sites as well...
hey joystiq don,t feel sorry for us in europe we won,t be getting rid of our ps2 problem solved.since the annoucement four people i know of have placed orders at game, best is they get points worth £15.00 off as well making it £285.00
I totally agree. I don't live in Europe, but this what I believe is going to happen. There are 100 million PS2's out there. Just keep your PS2, buy the 40 gig, and enjoy the savings.
How dare they say that when I can count the NO. of back cat games for the 360 on 1 hand.....
It is joystiq, the most biased site on the web with ridiculous pretentions to neutrality. A recent article on Uncharted was reported and the remarks of the developer talking about the 1080p support were mentioned. A great feature. Joysliq punctuated the developers comments with 'Yay'? The word yay with a question mark? That was their snide aside? I won't give that site even a click of my mouse. Let them get their webhits somewhere else, I am not supporting.
Where was their first ever award for Consumer Skewering by the 360 RROD issue? With the 40GB PS3 people know what they are getting. Which is quite unlike those of us that bought the 360 in trust and instead were bent over for our purchase.
I encourage anyone interested in fair reporting to avoid all of the Joysliq sites and this includes PS3 Fanboy.
hypocrisy at its best i say.
joystiq is a blog..where indeed sometimes their opinion shows..you dont like what joystiq says, do your own blog..this place, people with agendas on both sides have their news approved yes..big difference...but the gist is still the same...people putting up their opinions.
you call tripe like this news? I guarantee nothing like this is posted on either joystiq or kotaku..or hell even destructiod. so again big difference.
Here you get stories submitted and approved buy the readers. This is a clearing house for news, not a worthless blog disguised as objective game journalism. If you can't see the ocean of difference between Joysliq and here then nothing can pry open your narrow mind.
Personally I'm not to bothered about the loss of BC. It just means anyone who owns a PS2 will have to keep hold of it if they ever want to play old games. More than anything the loss of BC is an inconvenience.
But the issue I have with it's loss it because of statements like this... It falls in to the 'Rumble is last-gen', 'no multiple SKU's' statements we've seen.
"Backwards compatibility, as you know from PlayStation One and PlayStation 2, is a core value of what we believe we should offer. And access to the library of content people have created, bought for themselves, and accumulated over the years is necessary to create a format. PlayStation is a format meaning that it transcends many devices -- PSOne, PS2, and now PS3" - Phil Harrison, Sony, December 2006
on the same TV with just a few steps to turn it on. Its great! I have room for 4 different systems on my one TV! Its very cool tech
~~rooling eyes~~
you cant play the ps2 on the same tv? u need to edit your comment, you make your self look bad with it.
and 2nd guess what your beloved company has said before that BC is an very important thing to them...yet now its not? lol thats funny sony lies and lies and lies and never delivers on what they promise.
every last ps2 and ps1 game i have works on my ps3. this is just false press they are lying and making a big deal over nothing. especily since you can't play any xbox games on the 360. i think these journalists should be making articals about the 360 failuar rates, RROD and how microsoft said that 1080p couldn't be done in games and now guess what, sony has over 20 games in 1080p at 60 FPS.
i laugh and pity those who hate and are out to get sony because then i know that they are ametures and know nothing about gaming or about the inovation and passion that sony has broght to this industry. microsoft has a billion things that could be brought to light under a magnifiing to make them all look like fools and yet you see all these undeserved sony articals. what has sony done nbut bring great games, developer adn unmask the true power and potentiol of this industry. sony doesn't deserve this, they'ev done nothing but good
wow what a retard you are and the people that agreed with you too.
you guys do know he just said this
"especily since you can't play any xbox games on the 360.""
it cant play ANY xbox gameS? last I checked the list was 300 original xbox games that could be played.
jesus the paranoia roflmao. whats funnier is 5 people actually agree with this moron. My god this place is hilarious. I cant belive some of the horsesheit. roflmao.
Actually, it's pretty smart.
I know a friend that's going to order a EU PS3 40gig for how cheap it is since he already has a PS2. If he wanted to play his old games...well then he'd play em. ;)
Instead of letting people have the option of playing ps2 games on the ps3, they would have too either buy the ps2, or buy the 80 gig ps3's that can play ps2 games, no one was buying anyways. sony wins either way...and the consumer loses.
yes they have taken B.C of but if this becomes a bg issue then sony will fix it buy firmware updates, so no need to worry or just fork out another 50 for 2 extra games, now thats a deal.
Okay, and Joystiq explained exactly what now? Seemed more like a rant to me, from a website full of editors that have been less than supportive to Sony up to now.
this is just sony entry level model for people that just want a cheaper ps3 that all. so it don't have all the features of a 60gb ps3!!! that why they call it cheaper level people. but you know it still have a 40gb hdd, blu-ray player, wifi, hdmi out,2 usb post, 4801, 480p, 720i, 720p, 1080i,1080p and play all the ps3 game that the 20gb,60gb, and the 80gb one do, the same can't be said for the 360 entry level core 360 which had no hdd, no wifi, no nothing and you can't play the same game as in the 360 hdd one lol.
@bloodmask this article is just dumb!!! every one here know your a big time Microsoft's fanboy and maybe bill gets son!!! how about you do a article about how many xbox game can the 360 play mmmm!!!or why Microsoft still haven fix the RROD!!!or why Microsoft addle hdmi to there 360 whey they said it wasn't needed
There is no such thing as 720i concerning the PS3.
excactly just do what i do adn discount these so called professional articals as fanboy ranter and move on
For a start they are completely wrong. PAL PS3's still have the GC in place - without it software emulation DOES NOT work. Are they stupid or something? If this wasn't the case then people with current ps3's wouldn't have BC when the 40gb comes...uh no.
Claps for this site.It was wrong and senseless decision, end of discussion
Seem to be one of the more honest Sony boys.
This BC issue will make "some" people angry this was one of Sony's major selling points and one of the ultimate reasons to invest in this product line.
Many were probably sold on this fact and are/were waiting for the price to drop to play new PS3 and old PS2 games, PS2 games many have probably spent hundreds to thousands dollars on.
It also hurts Sony's cred they talked alote of sh*t about MSFT then they turn around and try to earn back their last generation's base lacking one of the main factors people love the PS brand for.
"Many were probably sold on this fact and are/were waiting for the price to drop to play new PS3 and old PS2 games, PS2 games many have probably spent hundreds to thousands dollars on."
Are all your arguments speculative hearsay and devoid of any facts? If you want to play PS2 games, keep your PS2 or get the 60gig. If you like shipping broken consoles to the manufacturer, get a 360.
Most my comments are based of off common sense or opinion based from facts.
* Sony Boast the importance of BC and has critized its competition for their lack luster effort despite all the hits being able to be play on the new Xbox.
* Many people I have come across or known champion the feature of BC.
* Reading peoples comments on the inter net suggest BC is is very important.
* The inter net is a buzz, some fans even rabid.
* Many will care many will not thats not speculative.
Matter of fact none of the above is speculative its been seen and heard by many people.
Whats not speculative:
1. People will be turned off due to the fact its been proven people live this BC sh*t.
2. Sony boasted BC as a selling point now they have no choice but to remove it(must be hurting bad it does not cost much although it will add up)
You must be pretty offended to say Sony was boasting BC as a selling point is speculative, you must be hurting to say many people do care about BC is speculative.
You are offended by my opinion based from facts to say people will and will not care about the BC loss to say thats speculative.
Don't the stupid ppl here get it, sony really wants you to buy the 80gb, with bc.
The 40gb is for newer customers who don't care about ps1,ps2 games.
The 80gb has all and is getting cheaper, as is the 60gb.
And damm by christmas, xbox360 is gonna start dying, Power of green jump ship now dammit, your sinking.
The reason to have backwards capability?
To offer a nod to customer loyalty. To say, "Hey, you can just keep gaming with us, your old library will have value -- you can play it here".
This is a terrible move on Sony's part IMHO. If a PS2 owner *wont* have his library play-able in his new PS3, he has to keep his PS2 in the entertainment room.
Now that he has to have two consoles -- why not get a Xbox 360? He'll then have *ACCESS TO THE ORIGINAL XBOX LIBRARY* without having to buy the ORIGINAL XBOX.
He ends up with Two Consoles for the price of one when he buys the Xbox 360.
Further, the PS3 is still more money (when Sony should be trying to get below the Xbox 360 price to match the Xbox 360 overall value offering).
This move is an act of shear terror and desperation at Sony. They see this slipping away, and are making desperate last ditch efforts to get some PS3 consoles sold.
Why? So that they can keep 3rd parties shipping titles. The 3rd parties are going multi-platform, cancelling projects and pushing back others. They cannot ship big budget AAA titles on such a tiny install base unless they want to loose money.
If they want to make money, they have access to the Xbox 360 customer.
The Xbox 360 attach rate is nearly 5.8 Games per year so far, the PS3 is 3, and the Wii is 2.8 Xbox 360 is the vidoe-game player's platform. Wii is a gimmick IMHO and wont last after the grandmas' get tired of bowling and put it in the closet. And, the PS3 is way behind in winning the kind of Gamers that the Xbox 360 is already satisfying by leaps and bounds.
Xbox owners are driving the console game industry. The Xbox 360 just had the largest event in the history of gaming with the release of Halo 3 - dont you think 3rd parties want access to that kind of customer?
Sony is trying desperately to get its price down just to become a reasonably affordable decision -- people are just NOT going to choose it based on price, even at a price lower than Xbox 360, this new BC-less PS3 is less attractive value proposition.
But Sony isnt going to solve its problems by dropping Backwards Comp., it only makes it even more likely that a person will choose the Xbox 360.
if you buy a ps3, you're buying it to play next gen games, not god of war 2 and beat it for the fith time.
seriously, who wants to play ps2 games on their ps3 when they can buy drake's fortune, foklore,ratchet and clank 5, ut3,haze.
would you buy the sims castaway on the ps2 rather than any of these games?
if you have ps2 games, then you have a ps2, therefore if u wanna play ps2 games play them on the ps2.
If you're willing to dop you're hard earned money on a ps3, tell me why the fuk you wanna play last gen games on it?
listen, this is just another lame reason to bash sony's price drop, it's stupid, and that is because it's biased.
If I were Kaz, I would do the same.
if you wanna play you're ps2 games on the ps3, then don't get a ps3.
enough said.
Freaking people always complain about everything.. Are you honestly going to play ur ps2 games on your ps3 that much? And if you buy a ps3 you probably still have your ps2 so whats the big deal? How many people still play there ps1 games or ps2 games and have a ps3? I know i dont and all my friends dont..
You'll have to play your PS2 games on your PS2.
But you'll now get to play original Xbox games on your Xbox 360. You get access to all those games on the Xbox that you couldnt play on the PS2 that will still have to sit in your living room.
This is going to explode in Sony's face, just like this article is saying.
Spike47 people want backwards combatibility because some of us don't have an extra output unit like a vcr to hook up there old console too. luckely i have one so i have both my ps2 hooked up to the vcr and ps3 hooked up to the tv. and thats why backwards combatibility is so importent. you don't want to switch from console to console every time you want to play a ps3 or pa2 game do you?? i didn't think so, no one want to go through all that work to play there old games like the 360
Gamers that currently have the Ps2 and probably no HDTV were waiting for a cheaper PS3, well sony gave them just that now they can even play their 40+ game library.
The longer you wait to get a PS3 the longer you continue to buy and support the PS2 titles. Now you have waited for a40 gig SKU, now your out of luck.
if you gonna introduce a new SKU, at least one of the main functions should not be taken away. Those that do not play PS2 games anymore, well thats fine but you don't speak for the majority. ps3 is at what..4 million with over 100 million ps2 gamers will playing ps2 games.
People are just cheap bastards and beggars can't be choosers.
"Update: With some help from Engadget Japan's Ittousai, we have found diagrams indicating the switch from Emotion Engine + Graphic Synthesizer chip to just a graphics synthesizer chip, implying the software emulation was partially hardware-supported (as noted by many commenters). If that's the case, then, the ability to download emulation software later may not be possible. We don't want to spread misinformation, so for further clarification we have contacted Sony for a definitive answer.
Regardless, the loss of backwards compatibility marks a paradigm shift in the PlayStation branding. If you buy a PS3, your connection to the previous generation - one that saw Sony reign mightily in the realm of console gaming - is severed. Does the cost of branding outweigh the financial benefit of losing a graphics chip? "
what your saying is in someways true but the fact that the 60 gig will still have BC and for only 50 more. The people will just have to decide for themselves what they want more, to play PS2 games or save a little.
But that whole post was from Joystiq, I'll put it all in quotes. Good news is, with the way people are complaining, I think they'll find some way to work around this. Bad news is, people will just find something else to complain about!
Why would you want to play ps2 games if you buy a ps3. why would you buy a ps3 to play ps2 games?
I have a ps2 and a ps3.
I've never had the time to play my ps2 games with games like warhawk keeping me busy.
For get it your wasting your time trying to play down price drop.....for 60gig and bargin 40gig ps3 entry level its good news for ps2 owners and 360 owner who want to jump over. No matter how you spin it...ps3 will sell like hot cakes....good time to be ps3 owner....With great games this xmas and 2008 coming out...
No matter what you do they're still gonna whine. The only real fact is if the person buys XBOX they still can't play there Ps2 games on it, so does it really matter for the xbox owner? The Ps2 owner have the "choices to make" Play B3yond, or Play B3hind? 40 or 80 gb? Save $100 or spend $100 more? In the mean time the xbot fanboy can watch my XBOX take the dump http://www.youtube.com/watc...
So anyone who has a negative comment about the PS3 is a "360 troll?" There are roughly 11.5 million 360 owners worldwide vs. 110 million PS2 owners. Given those numbers I'd say the negative comments regarding PS3 are 10 times more likely to be coming from disgruntled PS2 owners who happen to be unimpressed with the direction Sony has headed with the PS3.
Yes, it was too expensive at launch regardless of how many non-gaming features were packed in & at $399 it's prospects are even worse because now not only is it still too expensive, but it's been crippled to such a degree that it will be 12 shades of useless to the 105 million PS2 owners who have yet to upgrade.
With BC the PS3 was THE upgrade path for PS2 owners, but now all bets are off because Sony is forcing everyone to reevaluate the competition. Not such a wise decision given that the PS3 will be the most expensive option throughout this console cycle.
<<I'd say the negative comments regarding PS3 are 10 times more likely to be coming from disgruntled PS2 owners who happen to be unimpressed with the direction Sony has headed with the PS3>>
If they're whining than most likely they want a PS3 and don't care about BC because they have a PS2.
<<Yes, it was too expensive at launch regardless of how many non-gaming features were packed in & at $399 it's prospects are even worse because now not only is it still too expensive, but it's been crippled to such a degree that it will be 12 shades of useless to the 105 million PS2 owners who have yet to upgrade. >>
People wanted it cheaper and Sony delivered and in your so called million PS2 ownera already have a PS2 so why do they really care. The fact is if you want a BC you can spend another $100 for higher model. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy the 40Gb again it's hold on to your PS2 and save $100 or spend $100 and upgrade to higher model. In a another couple months is PS2 gaming on the PS3 really going to matter?
<<With BC the PS3 was THE upgrade path for PS2 owners, but now all bets are off because Sony is forcing everyone to reevaluate the competition. Not such a wise decision given that the PS3 will be the most expensive option throughout this console cycle. >>
What facts do you have that says every current PS3 owner got rid of there PS2?
The ties to those 100-odd million was Sony's "ace in the hole", it was a nod to customer loyalty. And Sony just flushed it.
Another interesting perspective (that I mentioned above) is that now Xbox 360 adopters -- who were former Sony customers -- will have access to all the original Xbox titles.
You know, all those great games that you couldnt play on your PS2... I am NOT trying to start a Xbox vs. PS2 library argument; it just goes without saying that if you buy a Xbox 360 and didnt own an Xbox, you'll now get all kinds of new (and used/cheap) games to pickup from the Xbox catalogue.
This is exactly what SONY shouldnt have done. But why did they do it? Because they needed desperately to move some units, and they _really_ cant afford to loose as much on each PS3 as they are, so they started ripping out the guts to save cash.
Not the kind of thing a confident and calm company would do IMHO.
I just occured to me; if you are one of the PS2 owners, who were thinking about buying a PS3; think twice now. Wonder why so many millions of millions of gamers loved Halo? and Halo 2? If you buy a Xbox 360 - you can pickup a used copy of Halo and Halo 2 to find out.... I promise, you'll know why people love Halo 3, and you'll love it too.
Think about it.
Don't make find all the statments on the issue from Sony and in past BC thread from this site and many more. I'll even look for polls.
As long as Sony lets the consumer know that there isn't any PS2 BC I'm fine with it. I've already got a 60gb PS3 but I hate ad campaigns that deceive the consumer. Halo 3 "believe" ads, I'm looking at you.
Its official people don't know what they want
people want cheaper PS3s and more PS3 games but are not willing to deal with what it takes to do it
I guess people want magically for manufacturing costs to go down in such a short time
Sirisouly do people want PS3s or very expensive PS2s? and I don't recall your existing PS2 exploding if you buy a 40GB PS3 and if its SO important you can always save up for the 60GB
Who care bout the backward comp, i mean all you do is keep your ps2 if you wanna play the damn games , i got the 60 and im not gonna go from 1080p to a standard 480p. People complain bout the dumbest ish but i guess you cant please them all. The ps3 went from 600 to 400 and people still complaining and to me if you want the ps3 buy it but if you dont then K.I.M(keep it moving)
I wonder do u own a PS3???? why r u so concerned for BC? I won't dney it, i would prefer a PS with a BC.
I'm still not buying it but even if its true, BC is still there for people who want to pay for it. We've lost nothing
No ones complaining about dropping 2 USB ports or the card readers that hardly get used. I admitt I dont really like the idea of no BC but mainly because it gives the bots a reason to whinge even about a big price drop.
I like to have a definitive console. I've been on both bandwagons, I'm been on the PS3 bandwagon and there's a lot of things to worry about.
So I've jumped on the XBOX 360 bandwagon. But then I start to worry also. Because honest to god, once you get passed Halo 3, the future doesn't look all that good for XBOX 360. It just doesn't.
When I jump on the 360 bandwagon I have some fears about the future, What killer games to have to look foward to? GTA IV is multi, but I do get some exclusive Episodes. There's Gears of War 2 in the future, and Mass Effect is this yeah pretty sweet. Bioshock 2?
Then I look at the PS3 side, there's potential there. MGS4, FFXIII, Killzone 2, FFXIII Versus, new Rockstar Exclusive could be someone great for all I know if they have enough money to try to beat GTA. Rumored FFVII remake which I think is gonna happen eventually. And then there's the fear that the development focus will switch more to PS3 in 2009 and beyond if it's really more advanced.
But then back to the PS3, Rockstar new IP could be crap for all I know and even rumors of FFXIII going multi platform. And at the moment, most third party games are a little better on XBOX 360 because 360 is the lead platform. So I have no idea what's the best console this gen. I keep trying to find the definitive consoles and I just can't. So I'm very bitter and unhappy with this gen.
Well with the PS3 you do have your MGS and FF13, though I'm not personally a fan of MGS if you are then there you have 2 somewhat safe titles. As for KZ2, well, this is not to bash it since I'm sure that it will be a good game, but its...another shooter. And between the 360/PS3 I'm just sick of shooters.
So umm I really have no advice. 360 has, as I sure you know, Mass Effect GoW2 and various other titles in 08 that for one reason or another have gotten little talk.
And the PS3 has the ones I mentioned plus whatever else is coming, sorry I haven't really looked into its 08 lineup, but I'm positive it has some great games.
Now personally speaking, I would choose the 360 because of Soul Calibur 4 online play. And I just like Live better. But as I said thats a personal preference.
...funny, Ive seen you post that exact comment before...
for the sony fans in europe that are complaining that the cheaper version doesn't have BC:
sell something.get a JOB(JAY-O-BEE).if you can't afford the 60gig,you can't afford next gen gaming.if you are complaining about the 40gig,hey,it sucks to be you that didn't save your money before hand to get the 60gig.get a job.get a bigger allowance from your parents.get SOMETHING.....
to the 360fanboys(haters) that are complaining,we EXPECTED you to complain ANYWAY.
you complained about hdmi,wifi,bluray,card readers,etc.,not being NECESSARY.
you complained about sony not having a GRIP of GAMES for you to play to equal the amount that microsoft had when it....JUST CAME OUT.
you complained about PSN not being at the same level as xbox live because sony has been working on it.
you complained about no rumble.
you complained about E3 2005 target renders for "GAMEPLAY" not being achieveable.
you complained about the price of the system.
it never ends on the amount of nitpicking and complaining on something you 360 fanboys were never going to get.sony has fixed mostly all these issues,made possible the gameplay target renders of E3,but you still act like idiots.
but all your complaining will not stop sony from moving systems out the door.the 40gig will sell.the 60gig will sell.somehow brains are not being used.you seem to forget that the core system on 360 DIDN'T PLAY XBOX GAMES WITHOUT A DOWNLOAD.
do you think that sony can't offer a download later if they wanted to?it's not that hard to do?but this move is to get you to BUY 60GIG SYSTEMS.it's plain as day.they want you europeans to clear out the 60gig units.
they gave away a movie
they gave away more movies
they gave away 2 games and a controller and movies
BUY THE FREAKIN 60GIGS SO THAT A PS2 EMULATOR CAN BE RELEASED ALREADY.WHAT DOES SONY NEED TO DO TO GET YOU BUY THEM(60gig)?
sony europe said fine.you want a cheaper system.here it is.but you get no BC.you got to earn it.they don't want to lose any more money than is necessary.you want BC,then PAY UP and get the 60gig.
the most reliable next gen system,most feature rich system,and each SKU gets a new low price,and gamers are still COMPLAINING.....GO BUY A GAMEBOY ADVANCE.AT LEAST IT PLAYS OLD GAMEBOY GAMES.
mag lev...................
If what you are saying is true (and, I agree with some of it). Then why arent people buying the PS3?
The problem isnt just the price.
People _do_ know Sony's reputation and history with proprietary media formats, and Sony's crazy anti-customer DRM and fighting fair-use.
There are problems with Playstation Network, with the games library is lack-luster, 3rd parties struggling with development and their support is dwindling, the thing is big and ugly (sorry, its true).
Now, this kind of information is really only the realm of the Game Fanboys (all of us, regardless of our bias are more informed than the average buyer).
But, the overall problem isnt just price. Sony will _never_ (for the life of this generation) be less than an Xbox 360. Its not going to happen. MS will maintain the current industry price structure (i'd argue that MS will try to move the arcade closer to Wii sometime in 08, but Nintendo will go lower yet...)
My single line summation of Sony's issues? That they allowed Sony Music and Sony Movie studios to push Blue-ray onto the PS3 for their benefit, not for the benefit of a gaming customer who_does_not_need_it.
And a lot of people _do_ know how Sony is with formats, interoperability and how they loathe fair use rights. More people know about that than know about CPUs and GPUs in consoles.
Sony bet the playstation on Blueray, and its going to screw them.
You must have a very big hand. Here's the list of Xbox 360 B/C games. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/g...
Keep in mind the games look nicer too since the 360 is able to upscale many games quite a bit.
Death you seem to forget thats all the xbox360 does is upscale.
Even in its new games, muaahahhahahahahaha
so why are some MS fanboys in here complaining about BC...? when i remember reading posts that stated " i dont want to play old games on my 360, i only want next gen games" so why should it matter if the PS3 only does this current gen games? we have to face facts that no matter what SONY does to make the PS3 more available to the masses.....people will always turn the good into something negative.
Thats the best game I have for my PS3, would be a shame not to be able to play it.
Well I'm not the nostalgic type, I've played two xbox games on my 360 and that was just for comparison purposes, if I wanted to play xbox games I would keep my xbox and play them, I think most people would do the same, even though BC is more convenient its still a bonus feature and not something that sells a next gen console= Now the funny thing is that BC was sony and sonykids BIG criticism of 360, remember Peter Moore saying something about owners not caring about BC(yes it was stupid comment) but truth is its not that important to most and almost all of the popular titles are BC anyway, the point is this was something sony touted, to bash 360 with, its still available for those who want it, but given sonys past statements about how important it is for the ps brand its unfortunate that they needed to go this route to offer a cheaper sku,
and lets not even talk about how much sonykids have laughed at micro for releasing different sku's with claims like "it seems like micro isnt sure of what they want to do", "too many sku's", "this is confusing for the consumer", "the elite wont sell"= I still dont understand how having several choices/options can be a bad thing, (yeah if you had a bunch of sku's with slight differences it can be confusing, but just a few different sku's can easily be destinguished)this gives those who want a cheap entry level ps3 and dont care for bc etc a cheaper OPTION= ahh NOW sonykids understand thats a good thing.=
Yes. take a step back and just try to understand why this statement is stupid. I never played a single PSone game on my PS2. And i never played a SINGle PS2 game on my PS3.
If u want to moan so much , get a room and a girl or some porns. stupid idiots.
imo only the xbots complain about no bc. but why should they, they have a xbox360? so its not your problem you morons. i thought you are sutisfied with your rodd box ? sony dismissed the bc, because you can now buy a nice ps3 for 399 to play ps3 games! thats the point. if you want bc, buy the 60bg model for 50$ more. thats all, very easy.
I look to upgrade every 4 years. My attention span is limited. I don't own any Ps3 game so I don't care either. When the pS4 drops I wont care about PS3 games either. Said for the 360 when the 720 drops screw the 360 games.
not so long ago it was "we can play any PS1 and PS2 games! You can only play 300 xbox games on a 360! WE ARE THE BEST!!!!"
Please make your bloody mind up!

It's summer and the living is easy – at least it will be when you get a handle on your household finances. After paying our tax bills and budgeting for a summer vacation, millions of Americans are looking for smarter ways to save to keep their personal finances on an even keel. Here are some tips from Creditrepair.com. See if they will work for you.
Cutting expenses
- Consider refinancing your mortgage. You can save about $140 a month if you bring a 6% mortgage down to 4%. And you can get help getting a better rate by improving your credit score, says Scott Smith, of Creditrepair.com.
- Set thermostats no higher than 68 degrees in winter and no lower than 78 degrees in summer. That could save up to $500 per year.
- Bring your lunch to work instead of buying out. Estimated savings here could amount to $150-$300 per month.
- Contribute old clothes to charity. A taxpayer in the 27% bracket who donates $1,000 can earn $270 annually in tax savings.
- Install flow-restricting showerheads. By saving an estimated 8,000 gallons of water annually (it costs about $200 to install a good shower head), you can save up to $400 annually on water and hot water heating costs.
- Keep phone service to the minimum. Extras like smart phone games and apps, and traditional services like call waiting and call forwarding really add up. Estimated savings = $170 annually.
- Paying off a student loan? Call your lender and negotiate the loan's interest rates. "Many banks will drop the rate a point or so if you agree, for example, to pay your bills online – it's cheaper for lenders that way," adds Smith. Estimated savings on a $10,000 loan could be $200-$300 annually.
- Don't let an insurance pro sweet talk you into buying life insurance for your baby. Life insurance is for those whose demise would cause you financial hardship. Estimated savings: $370 annually.
- Start a College 529 Savings Plan. "These plans allow you to save for your child's college tax-free," says Smith. "A $25 monthly investment now could save you tens of thousands of dollars in tuition costs 18 years from now."
- Max out on your company 401(k) plan. By contributing the maximum legal amount you can to your 401(k) plan you can win big. A 25-year-old who invests $200 a month for 40 years can earn $1,542,254.00 (assuming 11% average annual growth rate). But if you wait until you're 45 to do the same thing, you'll only earn $170,000 over the same period.
- Bundle your insurance policies. Try to insure your car and home, for example, with one insurance company. By giving one insurer your business, you can lower your rates. Estimated savings may be about $150 annually.
- Stifle the latte's. A $3.50 latte at Starbucks every day will cost you $750 over the course of a year. Even if you cut the habit in half you'll save $375 annually.
When push comes to shove, and you make some tough financial decisions, it's easy to cut corners in your everyday money life. Half the battle is just looking for places to save, and then cutting the cord. That enables you to make a budget plan that works for you, and puts more cash in your bank account – where it belongs.

text: In order to establish new norms of the Swedish version of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), data from 2,209 Swedish individuals (age between 13 and 80) was analyzed. The second aim was to evaluate the impact of age and gender on the questionnaire scores. The third aim was to investigate whether the TO can be meaningfully applied to adolescents in personality assessment as a basis for further research and clinical studies. Age and gender showed independent effects on personality dimensions, which implies that age and gender specific norms have to be established for the TCI. Furthermore, the results in terms of inconsistencies in the correlational and factorial structure, as well as low internal consistency scores in the younger age groups, suggest that the adult version of the TCI should not be applied below the age of 17; for these age groups we recommend the use of the junior TCI (JTCI). The inventory is under further development and several items are in need of revision in order to create less complicated formulations, enabling an improvement in the psychometrics.

Youth Safety Rules
Please discuss these rules with your children and lead by example!
Inclement Weather Policy
In the event that we have to cancel any scout meetings due to weather we will let you know by 3 PM on the day of the event, if not earlier.
We find it hard to follow a school's closing schedule as most of our meetings are in the evening, and their decision is made for the morning ... SO instead ... we take into consideration the current weather reports, if other evening programs are cancelled.
We have a few methods that we will use to inform everyone of a cancellation:
- We will send out a bulk email, the same as this format
- We will also send a message out through Cubtrails
- We will post it on our Facebook page, BSA957
- We will also try to get it on the BSA957 website, but that will be dependent on our webmaster's availability
- You can contact your den leader
- You can email to email@example.com
... we will try our best to keep you informed.
If you are on Facebook and not a member of our Facebook community, now is a perfect time to be added. It is a site we use to publish current needs as wells a great way for us to communicate with each other... It is a closed page, so please request to be added on Facebook, or reply back to this email, and we will do our best to add you.
Finally, if the weather is questionable, and you as a parent do not feel it is safe, please stay home and enjoy the unexpected evening at home with your children. As always, use common sense with winter weather.
Tornado Safety
Do You Know What To Do?
Leave auditoriums, gyms, and other free-span rooms, exiting in an orderly fashion. Go to interior rooms and halls on the lowest floor, but avoid halls that open to the outside in any direction. If there are no interior hallways, avoid those that open to the southwest, south, or west, since that is the usually the direction the tornado will come. Stay away from glass, both in windows and doors. Crouch down, and make as small a "target" as possible. If you have something to cover your head, do so, otherwise, use your hands. Don't assume that there will always be a leader or other adult there to tell you what to do. If there is, you should follow their direction, but you need to know these things too.
Helping Hand
Parents are needed to help in our workroom on den meeting nights. Help is especially needed on the 2nd den meeting night to collate the newsletter and prepare awards for the pack meeting. Each den needs to provide one parent to help prepare awards for their den. Other jobs are cutting out crafts, rolling flatware for banquets, making vests in January, preparing decorations for Blue and Gold and preparing name tags for big events. Please stop by the workroom, and lend a helping hand.
The committee and leaders meet monthly to help direct the activities of the entire group. Parents, whether registered leaders or not, are welcome at the committee meeting. If you have ideas to share, let us know! Come and add your voice and help keep things moving ahead. Check the calendar for the meeting time and location each month.

Festivals and what I did on my holidays
Hello! Sorry about the long time no hear but I've been on holiday (and most splendid it was too, thanks for asking) and frankly, haven't had much to blog about apart from doing quite a lot of writing. Which is quite boring!
I've never undertsood why anyone really wnats to be a writer beyond it being the best job in the world though, given the option, being a ninja or astronaut would have been my prefered choices. Anyway...
Some of you may not believe I exist. Yes, there are though who think I'm just too good to be true (a sadly small minority) and those who might believe the world could not be so cruel to create me (a larger group, equally sadly) but to both I say, hold your horses! There are opportunities to meet me in the total FLESH!
BATH LITERATURE FESTIVAL. I will be there on Sunday 29th September with fellow author Sam Gayton. We'll be waffling on and jabbering about all things mythological and adventurous in the afternoon. Details are HERE.
HERTFORD CHILDREN'S BOOK FESTIVAL. I'll be there on Friday 4th October. Not quite sure what I'm doing there, TBH. Just come find me!
Then, off to Wales, to the SPACE, TIME, MACHINE AND MONSTER event. I'm there Sat 19th October. Bring on the AWESOME! Details are HERE.
What, you can't make any of those? Fear not, I shall also be at the BARKING AND DAGENHAM READING FESTIVAL with a whole bunch of other cool authors. That's Thursday 5th October evening, I think. More deatils will follow as soon as I have them!

Easy transgenesis means easy reprogramming
With the large insert capabilities of the PiggyBac Transposon System and the system's easy, consistent transgenesis, you can use a single vector—the PB-SV40-Neo-EF1α-GFP-CAGs-cMyc-Klf4-Oct4-Sox2 Mouse 4-in-1 iPSC Vector—to generate mouse iPSCs. This pre-built vector is ready-to-co-transfect with the Super PiggyBac Transposase Expression Vector (Cat.# PB210PA-1), and delivers mouse cMyc, Klf4, Oct4, and Sox2 co-expressed from a strong CAGs promoter. The vector also includes a neomycin resistance marker and GFP reporter to simplify selection of transfectants.
With the PiggyBac Transposon System, you can:
- Make transgenic cell lines with a single transfection
- Integrate multiple PiggyBac Vectors in a single transfection
- Insert an expression cassette into human, mouse, and rat cells
- Deliver virtually any-sized DNA insert, from 10 – 100 kb
- Choose from PiggyBac Vectors that express your gene-of-interest from constitutive or inducible promoters and include a variety of markers
- Determine the number of integration events with the PiggyBac qPCR Copy Number Kit (# PBC100A-1)
Customer Agreements
Academic customers can purchase PiggyBac Transposon System components for internal research purposes for indefinite use, whereas commercial customers must sign a customer agreement for a six-month, limited-use license to test the technology.
For end user license information, see the following:
* SBI is fully licensed to distribute PiggyBac vectors as a partnership with Transposagen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.

A pencil box
A rainy day today and finally some time to edit video. This is a small pencil box I made for my daughter in law who is going back to school to learn how to help people. My first grand child was born to her 6 months ago and I wanted to make her something that was a bit more common in my time, yet still practical now.
Thanks for dropping by

The Silliest Things
The silliest things amuse me. I finally got a couple photos of the albino squirrel who roams the neighborhood regularly. I think the albinism makes it faster than the other gray squirrels. Honestly, these shots were the best I could get. That thing is hyper! No other squirrels were giving chase, just a crazy, quick squirrel. I decided its name is forevermore White Lightning. Very curious to see is we have any other albinos running around here this summer.

Murder Grows on the Farm
Be sure to read the rest of the Local Foods Mysteries in order.
I like the sound of this series. The whole starting over thing always appeals to me in fiction especially if it involves farming or old houses. The stereotypical immigration issues make me a bit nervous (because yes there's a big difference between anti-immigration and anti-illegal immigration) but this is definitely a series I'll look for.ReplyDelete
For me it was more of a very annoyed eye-roll than anything to be nervous about. Could the book have been stronger? Yes. But I still enjoyed what was here.Delete
Hopping over from the Foodies Read challenge...(still)
I think I'd like this series. I like our local food scene here.
Joy's Book Blog
It's a good series. I'm looking forward to the third here in a couple of months.Delete
