Portal: Totally Gay?
Whether it's a book, a film or a game, a sure sign of something being an important work is when someone starts reading hidden subtexts into it. Having been an English Literature student and subjected to this or that tutor's crackpot theories about this or that novel on a regular basis, I unfortunately have a very thin tolerance these days for seeking underlying meanings that the creator probably never intented to be there. So personally, I'm not quite buying the argument in this interesting, funny (and OMGspoilerz) analysis by Bonnie over at Heroine Sheik of how Portal could be a tale of lesbianism, but you may. It's certainly a fine read, and it makes me happy that a game is inspiring this kind of thoughtful, if wry, critique.
But in a world of women, this gun doesn't shoot bullets. It shoots orifices. Openings. Fine, vaginas. Vaginas you, a female character, have to enter/exit to solve puzzles. I don't say this often, and almost never with so much support and enthusiasm, but that is so gay.
– Bonnie Ruberg
Whether it's gay or not, as a game with an all-girl cast (WCC aside), at least one female lead developer (in Kim Swift), and minimal emphasis on the traditional FPS pursuits of destruction and violence, there's certainly much to be said about Portal and gender. It doesn't present the potentially oppressively masculine scenario that us meatheaded boys usually play, and that's probably why we're hearing sporadic tales of "my girlfriend plays Portal" and the like. Though I suspect that, really, it's much more to do with Portal actually innovating rather than sticking doggedly to the genre's guns. So to speak.
Edit – any game can, of course, have its gender appeal entirely reversed with just a few simple tweaks (with thanks to Tom from ThinkingGames for the link):

* November 23 - 29
Hope and "The Delay": Part 1
READ FOR THIS WEEK'S STUDY: Matt. 25:1-13.
MEMORY TEXT: "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour" (Matthew 25:13, NIV).
KEY THOUGHTS: Though it may be difficult to continue to hope in the "time between," the story of the ten virgins makes it clear that we need to be ready and prepared and not to lose hope. We are in the waiting time, and hope is what keeps us alive until the coming of the Bridegroom.
REFLECTING ON THE SITUATION of waiting for the Advent, James White commented, "The position of suspense is not the most happy one."Life Incidents (Battle Creek, Mich.: Steam Press of the Seventh-day Adventist Pub. Assn., 1868), vol. 1, p. 337. The "waiting time" is one of tensionliving between the "already" and the "not yet"the "already" being Christ's death in our behalf that is already complete, the penalty for all our sin already being paid, and the reconciliation between God and humanity already being accomplished, as opposed to the "not yet," the Second Coming, when all that Christ had accomplished at His first coming is brought to fruition.
In this study we will examine the parable Jesus told about the waiting time and how we should react to this "position of suspense" and understand what God wishes us to do.
*Please study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, Nov. 30.
Sunday November 24
"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation" (2 Pet. 3:3, 4).
The wreck, eroded with rust, rotted in an empty, unkempt field, its tail fins testified to the glory of another era. Stripped by hoodlums who, if caught in their act, would have been out of jail long ago, the car was so old that even the birds had abandoned it. The only signs of life near it were a prickly bush that had grown up through a hole in the bottom of the trunk and a few scattered weeds that had circled the wreck like some sort of macabre garden. The car's front bumper carried a sticker with a message that, though worn with age, faded and eroded by the weather, could still be seen, and it said"Jesus is coming soon!"
Jesus is coming soon? How soon is soon? After all, it has been almost two thousand years since He left the first time, and we are still here.
It was the apostle Peter, in the New Testament, who predicted that "there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation" (2 Pet. 3:3, 4).
Well, Peter, according to your contemporary, John, Jesus did promise to "come quickly" (Rev. 22:20) and that was about... 1900 years ago; and, after all those centuries, things are kind of well, continuing "as they were "; thus, to be fair, Peter, the scoffers do, it would seem, have a point.
Or do they? Though some verses seem to indicate the nearness of Christ's return, even in Bible times (see Rom. 13:12; 1 Pet. 4:7), others indicate that it could, indeed, be a long time yet coming. The parable that we focus on this week, that of the ten virgins, makes it clear that the Bridegroom will be " 'a long time in coming' " (Matt. 25:5, NIV; see also Matt. 24:48; 25:19). The question is, How then do we, those who are waiting in that time, maintain our hope during this period? What should and what shouldn't we do? This parable gives some answers.
|Look again at those verses in 2 Peter for today. What was Peter saying that should, almost two thousand years later, strengthen our faith in the promise of Christ's return and the hope that is contained in it? In other words, in what ways do his words show that the "delay" is nothing unexpected?
As we read this parable, we must understand it in the context in which it was given. It comes immediately after Jesus' answer to the disciples about the signs of the end. Thus, Jesus is talking about the Second Comingand our relationship to this dramatic and conclusive event. He had just finished explaining all about His return. But like most of us, the disciples needed some help understanding what He meant.
Read the parable (Matt. 25:1-13). Ignoring the details, focus, instead, on its basic message. If you could describe its message in one word, what would it be? Write down the word and then explain why you chose that word:
Notice, too, other similarities between the women: They all took their lamps, they all went out to meet the bridegroom (so they all were expecting him), they all became drowsy, they all fell asleep, they all woke up at the announcement of his coming, and they all trimmed their lamps. From the outside, they all pretty much looked and acted alike. To anyone watching, there would not seem to be much difference between them.
They were all living in anticipation of the Advent hope. All were hoping for and, indeed, expecting and waiting for the bridegroom to return. These women, then, represent Christians who not only expect Christ's return but make preparations to meet Him. None of them, not even the foolish ones, represent those professed Christians who do not believe in a literal return of Christ or those who believe His coming is so far off they do not make any preparations for it.
|Look again at the basic characteristics that all these women share. How do those characteristics represent our church today? What outward things are we doing or possess that seem to match the attributes of all these women?
All the women in the parable fell asleep. What does that mean? What does that tell us about the Lord's foreknowledge about the state of His church?
The fact that all the women fell asleep doesn't seem to be presented in this parable as the problem, for even the wise ones snoozed. The Lord, obviously, knew the impact that His timing would have upon His people (more proof that the "delay" isn't really a delay). In fact, if He had come when they had expected Him, then all would have been ready, because all would have had enough oil in their lamps, and there would have been no need for this parable.
Jesus, however, knowing that His followers would grow tired awaiting His return, used this parable to warn us that even in our weariness, even in the long delay, we need to be prepared for His coming, we need to be ready so that when it happens, we have enough "oil" in our lamps.
What does the oil and the light and the lamp imagery represent? (See Ps. 119:105; Zech. 4:1-14; 2 Cor. 4:6; Eph. 5:14.) Why are all needed? What good is oil without a lamp to burn it in, or what good is a lamp without oil? And how can one have light without the other two elements?
Although on the surface all looked the same and even had some of the same experiences (all, in fact, had oil, light, and lamps), the women were different in what really mattered, and that was in being prepared to meet the bridegroom.
Obviously, Jesus is warning here that without the Spirit of God, we can know some truth, but that is not enough. However much the Spirit (oil) works through the Word (the lamp) to bring truth (light) to a person, even to the point where that person awaits the Second Corning, more is needed. Those who have not surrendered themselves in faith and obedience to the Lord will suddenly, in the time of crisis, find themselves unready and unprepared for the event.
|Notice that the only difference between these women is that some had more oil than others. They took extra. What does that mean, in a practical sense? Suppose you have studied this parable and felt convicted by it; what can you do to change your life so you will have enough "oil in your lamp"?
"'With that the girls all got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the prudent, "Our lamps are going out; give us some of your oil." "No," they said; "there will never be enough for all of us. You had better go to the shop and buy some for yourselves." While they were away the bridegroom arrived' " (Matt. 25:7-10, NEB).
At first glance, this situation seems strange. Would it not have been a Christian gesture of kindness for the wise girls to share their oil with those so desperate in their need?
But from the story, it is clear there would not have been oil enough to light ten lamps. So why give oil to another and then have your own light go out? It would make no sense.
What essential message is contained in the refusal of those to give others of their oil? (See also Ezek. 14:14, 20.)
The parable shows that the "oil supply" is personal. It cannot be transferred. This applies to spiritual aspects of our relationship with Christ. Salvation is no more transferable than bloodtype. The same with hope. You cannot take your hope and implant it into someone else. Hope has to be personally experienced, personally believed. This is the "oil of gladness" (Heb. 1:9).
In Israel, oil was a much-valued commodity. So, too, taking oil as the symbol of hope and salvation, we have a great need for oil. More than anything, this is what is required in the church and in our individual lives.
The "position of suspense" was not easy for any of the girls in the parable. But those who were wise made sure they had supplies of oil; they maintained their hope. So when their hope was realized, they were ready.
|Of course, as the parable shows, we cannot give others the things
they need to be prepared for Christ's return. But does that mean we cannot
do something for them? Whatever the parable is saying, it is not saying that
we need to neglect the spiritual needs of others, that the spiritual welfare
of others is not our concern, or that we need to keep our own lamps filled
with oil at the expense of others. What can you do to help those around you
get enough oil for their lamps?
Notice what the bridegroom said to the women who were not ready to meet him: "'"I tell you the truth, I don't know you"'" (Matt. 25:12, NIV).
Wow! I don 't know you! How could Jesus, who knows all hearts (John 4:17-19; 8:7-9; 1 John 3:20); Jesus, the express image of His Father's person (Heb. 1:3); Jesus, the One who made and upholds the worlds (Col. 1:16, 17)how could He say to these women that He did not know them? See also Matthew 7:23.
What did Jesus mean when He said "I don't know you" or when He said to others "I never knew you"? What point was He making? Look up these following verses, summarize what they are saying, and see how they might help us understand the point that Jesus was stressing in Matthew 25:12.
Gen. 4:1 ______________________________________________________
Hos. 4:1 _____________________________________________________
John 17:3 ____________________________________________________
Know in the Bible does not mean just head knowledge; it is not merely the ability to recite a list of facts. Instead, it can take on a relational aspect, one that's reciprocal. Adam "knew" his wife; this meant, obviously, more than just having a few facts about her stored in his head. Thus, the words of Jesus to these women seem to imply that there was no relationship between them and Him, one through which He could work in them His good pleasure (Phil. 2:13). Matthew 25:13 makes the meaning clearer. What Jesus is saying is that you always need to be ready, because you don't know when I am coming. And the essence of preparedness comes down to "knowing" God, not just a bunch of facts about Him but a knowledge that comes only from a relationship with Him, one in which He could rightly say to you, Come in, for I know you.
With this concept of what it means to "know," could you honestly say that God "knows" you? Do you have that kind of relationship with Him? If so, write down why. If you cannot say so, what changes need to be made so you can?
FURTHER STUDY: Please read Ellen G. White, in Review and Herald, Oct. 24, 1893; The Upward Look, p. 89.
"Those who profess to be waiting for the coming of Christ, are represented in the parable by the five wise and the five foolish virgins. The wise virgins had oil in their vessels with their lamps; they had their lamps trimmed and burning, and were ready to go out and meet the bridegroom. But the foolish virgins had no oil in their vessels; and when the solemn cry was sounded, they were found unprepared, and could not go forth to meet the bridegroom. Many profess to be wise; but have they the Holy Spirit? As a people, we profess to know the truth, but of what avail will this be if we do not carry out its principles in our life? How many say, 'Oh, yes, the coming of Christ is at the door. The end is so near that there is no time to carry the message to those who sit in darkness. There is no need of spending money on foreign work; for the end will come before it will be accomplished.' Is this the way that you carry out the injunction of your coming Lord, to preach the gospel in all the world for a witness to all nations? It is your business to be ready for the coming of the Lord, and you cannot be ready while failing to carry out his commands. There are some who seem to feel no responsibility concerning paying their tithes into the treasury of the Lord. They withhold from Him who has given them everything else, the small portion He has named as His own. They say they cannot see that it is their duty to pay tithe; but there is no reason why they should not see it, except that self is before their eyes."Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, Aug. 1, 1892.
SUMMARY: Though time continues, we need to keep watching for the fulfillment of our hope, for "it will surely come" (Hab. 2:3). The parable of the ten virgins helps us to see that this is not a time of idle waiting but of preparation. Jesus' call is to remain faithful to our hope and to "Watch!"
Hannah Z.
Inky blackness gripped young Prakash as he lay prostrate on his sleeping mat. Silent tears traced patterns on his sallow cheeks. "Oh Ama, I hurt so badly! Help me!" he cried to his mother.
Prakash's mother crept silently to his side. "Son, I don't know what to do." Her voice sounded tired. Her son had been sick for years. How much longer would it go on? "If only we were Christians, all would be well," she whispered. "Christians have magic that makes them well when they get sick." She lighted a candle and sat silently beside her son until he fell asleep.
Slowly Prakash's health and strength returned, but the strange illness left him the size of a seven- or eight-year-old. Sadness further engulfed the family when Prakash's teenage brother, then his small sister, died. Life seemed so cruel.
Prakash grew up and married. Because of his small size, it was difficult to find work that would support his family. One day Prakash learned that some Christians lived in a nearby village. He recalled his mother' swish and decided to visit them. Perhaps they could help him. A nurse who ran a clinic and visited the sick told him about Christ. Prakash wanted to learn more about the Christian God. But to do that he had to go to India, for he could not study religion freely in his homeland.
Prakash and five others were baptized and returned home to their village. They met quietly in their homes to avoid problems. But in spite of their precautions, one Sabbath the police burst into their meeting, took their Bibles, and arrested Prakash and three others.
While he was imprisoned, Prakash's wife had to work hard to feed herself and their young son. After a year Prakash was finally released from prison. But his joy was short-lived, as his wife died, leaving Prakash alone to raise his young son. Then he and several other owners of small farms were swindled out of their land. The others who lost their land could find work on tea plantations, but Prakash was too small to get such work.
Prakash married a woman who had lost her family during an epidemic. Together they are working for God and their family, faithfully sharing their faith as they are able.
Pray for Prakash and the other believers in their homeland, where freedom of religion is not yet a reality.

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 188.8.131.52 Adds New Features and Fixes Network Locations Support
Auto-check Images With Larger File Size
The name of the feature is quite self-explanatory – it will mark the files with the larger file size leaving the smallest unmarked. While most user would prefer to keep the larger files as they generally should be the ones with the best quality, there are cases where such option is needed. For example converting a PNG image to BMP will only result in a larger file size while the quality would be the same. In such cases keeping the larger files will be just waste of valuable disk space.
Backup Similar Imaged – Copy Checked Files
The Move/Delete panel is now reorganized and includes also a COPY option. While VSDIF is designed to get rid of duplicate or similar photos this option might come handy for backups and folder synchronizations.
Duplicate Photo Finder Fixes – Network Access and Permission Issues
The latest version adds a fix for incorrectly reported network location size which prevented the move/copy operations. It also includes detailed error report in case of permissions issues. This will provide more information if one tries to set an inaccessible path for the cache location which was causing the application to list zero results.
You can download the latest version demo here: Duplicate Photo Finder

Pierre Bastien & Espen Sommer Eide present Electric FolkwaysFR, NO
Two of the world's most inventive orchestra conductors – both working with custom-built instruments and hybrid performers – come together on the MUTEK stage for a singular performance they call Electronic Folkways. France's Pierre Bastien has built an entire private orchestra made out of Meccano robots, outfitted with traditional music instruments or, on occasion, everyday objects. He records albums and gives concerts with these machines, known collectively as 'Mecanium'. Bastien, who performed at MUTEK in 2006, returns to the festival this year with his orchestra of hybrid, part-digital, part-analog instruments devised by Norway's Espen Sommer Eide (Alog, Phonophani). An Oslo-born multi-instrumentalist, Eide has developed the Concertinome project – a custom-made instrument combining the concertina accordion with the monomer style keyboard – which he's presented at Europe's most prestigious concert halls and venues. Recording for Biophon Records (run by Biosphere, also performing this year), Eide has released a number of records as Phonomani, while also collaborating with noise-guitarist Dag-Are Haugan as part of the ALOG duo.

First-time visitors to Havana can feel they are in a dream, coasting through a fantastic cityscape of colonial fortifications, Art Deco towers and Fifties hotels, uncluttered by advertising but punctuated by the bold colours and lines of painted propaganda. Part of their character comes from their decay, from the peeling layers of lemon-yellow and sea-green paint, chipped tiles and tumbling plaster.
Yet not everything is run down. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its architecture, the historic district of La Havana Vieja has in parts been well restored and forms a wonderful walkable grid of narrow streets, graceful squares and wide avenues lined with pastel mansions. Check out the Catedral de San Cristóbal, its wide facade decorated with the restrained swirls and classical columns of the Cuban Baroque style, and the Art Deco Bacardí building, which looms over the district's west side like a wild Gotham City creation, its trademark bat adorning everything from the brass door handles and cracked light fittings to the Gothic sculpture that crowns the roof.
West from the La Havana Vieja lies Vedado, bounded to the north by the long line of the sea wall (malecón), the city's promenade and the focus of its nightlife. Here you'll find the bulky Hotel Nacional with its twin arched towers and the
shell-like form of concrete Coppelia, the city's enduringly (and endearingly) popular ice-cream parlour – in this impoverished city an ice cream is the closest most people get to a treat. In contrast, Havana's lavish pre-Revolutionary decadent era is recalled in the Fifties Riviera building, built by the mob as a casino hotel and still with its original sculptures, furniture and fittings miraculously intact.
Like the Italian cities which survived unblemished only because of centuries of poverty and neglect, Havana is a time capsule, one that makes life hard for locals who can't afford repairs each time hurricanes batter their homes. The limited conservation work shows how Havana could be restored to its proper place as the most glamorous city in the Caribbean – for now, it remains a fascinating hotpotch.
You won't need any transport to get you around Old Havana, and it's possible to walk to Vedado along the malecón. Otherwise, look for a metered taxi near one of the large hotels. You can visit the bar in the Bacardí building for a drink, and ask at reception to be taken up the tower for the views.

Kaitlyn Dever & Molly Ephraim: 'Last Man Standing' Returns Tonight!
Kaitlyn Dever and Molly Ephraim snap a pic with new on-screen older sister Amanda Fuller in this behind-the-scenes shot from Last Man Standing.
In the second season premiere, "Voting," Mike (Tim Allen) does all he can to persuade first-time voter Mandy to vote for Governor Romney in the upcoming presidential election. But when he lobbies her heavily, he finds himself going up against her older sister, Kristin (Fuller), and Boyd's father, Ryan, who are just as enthusiastic for President Obama and disagree with Mike's trying to influence Mandy (Ephraim).
While they all battle for Mandy's vote and soul, Vanessa (Nancy Travis) remains neutral in the interest of family harmony.
"Voting" airs TONIGHT, November 2nd @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC. 10+ pics inside…

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Less than six months ago, well-known American evangelical Christian pastor Rick Warren lost his son to a self-inflicted gunshot wound, an emotional and heartbreaking end to a life defined by battles with mental health.
Joined by his wife Kay, this evening Warren joins "Piers Morgan Live" for the couple's first media appearance since Matthew's passing, describing in great detail the demons their son battled:
"Matthew was not afraid to die. He was afraid of pain. I remember 10 years ago, when he was 17, he came to me sobbing," reveals Warren, offering an absolutely heart-wrenching story about his late son. "He said, 'daddy,' he said, 'it's really clear, I'm not going to get any better. You know, we've gone to the best doctors, the best hospitals, the best treatment therapists. Everything ... prayer, everything you could imagine ... good support.' And he says, 'it's real clear I'm not going to get any better, so why can't I just die.'"
Asked by the host for Warren's reaction to his son at that time, the senior pastor of Saddleback Church shared his message:
"I said, 'Matthew, the reason why, is there is a purpose, even in our pain. And I am not willing to just give up and say that the solution isn't there. You might give up, but as your father, as your mother, we're not ever giving up, that we won't find the solution,'" he explains to Piers Morgan. "I really believe Matthew could have been a great advocate for children in the world. He was an amazingly compassionate kid."
Watch the above clip as Warren goes on to explain the ways in which Matthew often sought out others struggling, hoping to help ease their pain. Then, for the entire, hour-long interview with the man that leads the eighth-largest church in the United States, tune in to CNN tonight at 9.

kidnap 14 year old girl from clayton county ga two men have her if only her mother had a gun this would not be. may God be with this child.
What type/name of drugs was Rick Warren's son on?
Exactly, but there is too much money in pills, you won't ever hear about it.
If your God ever did anything, guns wouldn't be necessary. Also, this article is about Rick Warren's son. It's a shame the young man was unable to cope and (possibly) improperly medicated.
You poor thing. If you knew anything about God you would know that He gave us the freedom to choose. God doesn't prevent people from making their own choices. If you knew anything about mental illness you would know that it is a brain disorder that cannot be healed by just wanting it to be healed anymore than any other disease. Before you comment on anything you might consider educating yourself.
"Believe in me and love me or you will go to hell and burn for eternity" That is not a choice – that is a threat. It is no different then a person holding a gun to your temple and saying "love me or I will kill you". Trying to rationalize a threat as a "choice" is absurd.
If you've never suffered from depression, you will never understand the hopelessness. Life will never, ever be happy. It will simply be survival mode.
Inspiring and emotional interview, but what if......... what if one parent took Matthew away for a year, new country, new surroundings, new start. No medication, no internal influences, no internet persuasion, just son and parent 24 / 7. I am sympathetic to the Warrens, but I can honestly say if my son had been threatening to kill himself for 10+ years, I really would have taken him away somewhere safe, I think the Warrens were too accepting. Certainly I wouldn't have been texting him in the hope that he didn't pull the trigger.
When someone is challenged by mental illness, and particularly BPD, they are in pain and suffering. There is no place "safe" for them.
How do you know that as parents , they didn't try?
Marissa we don't have all the information about this situation. There is no way to know all the things that his parents did do for their son. Maybe they did try taking him away. Can you imagine how their hearts must ache for their son? It would be much better to post something that by chance would offer their hurting souls some comfort. I'm sure they must have tried EVERYTHING possible to help their son. Please remember to not be quick to judge other people...you don't have any idea what these 2 poor parents have gone through. Praying God surrounds them with His LovingKindness during these awful months.
It is unbelievable that the discussion is not about the son who committed suicide , but about how their wonderful, rich, enabling parents, who started their own church couldn't stop him. They even knew he was going to do it. What a bunch of crap. Listen to their words and then ask what they actually mean.
This kid didn't kill himself to goto heaven. he killed himself because he was depressed. And stop justifiying his actions by some oblique reference to scriptures. The two parents are delusional!!!
I apologize for the comments that may have suggested that the two parents were delusional. I have no facts to substantiate that statement.
David: "The two parents are delusional!!!"
David: "I apologize for the comments that may have suggested that the two parents were delusional."
Look, David, I don't know if anyone was offended by your original comment. I certainly don't care about your opinion. Where I got annoyed was when you issued a fauxpology in the best politico/celebrity fashion. Seriously, man, "may have suggested"? Your comment wasn't veiled in double entendre: it was *overt*.
Me: With all due respect, I think David is a moronic, mouthbreathing result of inbreeding. However, I apologize if anything I may have inadvertently suggested about David was misinterpreted as offensive...
No one said that he died to go to heaven. Rick Warren was talking about the I credible pain that his son felt. Remember, the brain is an organ like other organs in the body and it is a very complicated organ...it can become diseased just like your liver, pancreas, heart, etc. stigma needs to be reduced so people get the help they need early as this serves to bring about the best outcome. Rick Warren and his wife were trying to instill hope. Everyone has a different threshold for pain for whatever reason. Adina Wrobleski states....choice implies that a suicidal person can reasonably look at alternatives and select among them. If they could rationally choose, it would not be suicide. Suicide happens when...no other choices are seen.
Sounds like you need to take your meds. I think you're running a little manic.
The worst physical pain I've experienced was an infected cavity. The pain was so bad I was willing to do pretty much anything to make it go away.
Speaking now though of the mental torture I have to endure every day, I would dare say it's worse than my infected cavity. It's the kind of pain that indeed drives many to an early death via suicide. If you haven't been there then you simply don't understand and can't imagine it. I myself wonder how much longer I'll hold out.
On this matter, you either get it (as you've been there) or you don't because you haven't been there. If you've had the fortune to escape such torture count your blessings. Your life could be far worse than you could ever imagine.
Hey canamer, I pray you find strength to seek help and continue fighting! I work with adolescents and adults who suffer from different mental illnesses, and I know it is a continuous struggle, but keep the faith!
I'm sorry for what you're going through. I have gone through it myself and still do on a a daily basis. I attempted suicide for the last time nine years ago. After I saw the affect that attempt had on my children, I promised I would never do it again. I still look forward to the day I die for some other reason, whether natural or by accident. I have always wished I could be one of those people who is just 'happy', but I just can't seem to ever get there for very long. I simply exist. Someone took that ability away from me a long time ago and all the prayers, meditation and therapy I've given it just isn't working. Until the day I meet Jesus, I will continue to hang out in this world and wonder why I'm here..... Perhaps someday you and I will both get answers.
Tanya, good for you for putting your children first. Tanya sometimes a purpose has to be so blg as to seem impossible to be big enough to fulfill a person's need for purpose. Perhaps God has a very big purpose for you. Seek after it. I am involved with M5M or Mission 5 Million. Ever heard of it? Sort of like Toms shoes, buy a pair and they give a pair to a child in need. Our goal is to save 5 Million children under the age of 5 from dying of malnutrition. Tanya seek after that greater purpose. God bless.
Thank you, Marian. Your kind words came to me at a time when I really need to hear them. I have had some difficulty lately that has really caught me off guard. After months of being 'happy', I wasn't prepared to be thrown back into a depression. Your words are a great reminder. Since reading them, I have been and will continue to look for that bigger purpose. Thanks again and God bless you!
Don't tell people their pain has a purpose. It doesn't. One can learn from it but pain isn't a lesson.
pain is a lesson.... put your hand in a fire, you get burned, you've learned a lesson!
The pain from mental illness is not like fire that you can walk away.
Yes indeed! I'm with you! Pain is what tells us that something is wrong. It often also tells us that something is right.........like when you have to leave an abusive relationship. There's pain, but ultimately there's healing. xxooo
I am reading this article with tears in my eyes, as we are battling to save our 16 year old son who is currently hospitalized, yet again. It is horrific to see your child in this kind of pain and know that they feel their life isn't worth living. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Mental illness is a terrible thing, and it is still so stigmatized and there are not nearly enough resources for those trying to get help.
Find a doctor Board Certified Nurse Practioner (that's who I have) who will do a DNA test. This test is available and will tell your son's doctor or treatment person which psych meds his body will accept and deal with in the best possible way. The test also shows which meds his body cannot tolerate. Although this DNA test has been available for some time, most psych physicians or psychiatrists are not using it. Why not?! Also, if at all possible, don't take your son to a county psych clinic. I have never found a county psych clinic to be of any value. I wish you the best. Your son is in hell and you suffer right along with him. xxooo
to jagspoz:
I've been where you are. Are you familiar with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)? I've been an active member for almost 30 years now. This is an organization of people who have serious mental illness and their friends and families. It started with small groups gathering for mutual support and education, and has grown into a force for change. They are an excellent source (www.nami.org) for information on all topics concerning mental illness, and their 12-week education course, NAMI Family-to-Family, has now been officially accepted as evidence-based-best-practice. I've seen many people come into these classes feeling overwhelmed and leave feeling armed to face their future. Knowledge IS power! My 55-year-old son has had schizophrenia most of his life. The best advice I can give anyone is to go to the NAMI website and look up your local affiliate to connect with any of their variety of resources.
And God bless you all.
I am deeply saddened for all who suffer and those who have lost their loved ones, my heart goes out to you
i want to know what caused this boy to have mental issues in the first place, most mental issues don't just come from nowhere, for him to want to take his life some kind of trauma had to have happened to him especially if he has talked about suicide in the past. so what happened to this kid the parents aren't telling or don't know but need to find out cause the gun was not the culprit the sickness he had was and if they had this guy in treatment he wouldn't have been able to get this gun cause the state guidelines says anyone with mental health problems cant own a gun,or buy one so somehow the parents need to find out or tell what traumatized their son
My son lacked oxygen during labor & suffers from comorbid dx, one of which is a mental illness. The parents dont have to have a mental illness in order for the child to have one. Certain drugs can cause mental illnesses too...not implying their son was on drugs ever but just stating a fact on mental illness.
When trying to understand "mental illness" keep in mind that it is a brain disorder. A brain disorder. A brain disease. It's organic. It's physical. The illness which is commonly referred to as "mental illness" which it is not because it is a brain disorder is caused by a glitch in the brain. There are many causes for this disorder. Lots of times it's genetic, but not always. People need to understand that a person with this brain disorder cannot just "will it away" because it is an illness just like any other physical illness. I hope this helps you in understand what "mental illness" is all about. xxooo
Also a TBI (traumatic brain injury) can cause a kind of "mental illness". People with head injuries lose some brain function as do people with a "mental" illness, which as I've said before is a brain illness. xxooo
How can you make an intelligent comment when it's obvious you did not watch or listen to this interview? Please watch the whole interview, then make a comment
The blame for this sits squarely on the shoulders of the parents. I feel no sympathy for Rick or his Church. I do not believe in any god whatsoever and if there is one, then that god is a coward that is not worthy of worship for what they did to their own creation. It is following all religious cults that has caused expansive damage to the entire human race without justification. Sickening really.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Thank you, Ryan, for enlightening us on your view of "religion", and also for showing us your inability to show compassion to a suffering family simply because their views do not agree with yours. So, unless someone is in harmony with your worldview on spirituality, you are unable to express sympathy for a tragedy? My views don't dovetail with the Warrens' either, but that doesn't mean I will "blame" the parents when they have already suffered excruciating pain over the loss of a son.
Did we watch the same program? How can you say Piers showed no compassion? Did you watch his face? Why do you need to find fault with the interview? Take it at face value and be happy. xxooo
Obviously he wasn't afraid to die; he put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
I think the bible says that suicide is an unforgiving sin. I wonder if slick Rick is bothered by the fact that his son is in hell.
No where in the bible does it say that suicide is an unforgiven sin. Rejecting Christ as your Savior is the only unforgivable sin. God's Grace is bigger than any mental illness for those that love Him.
Thank you! Very well said! May the Lord bless you with His love and mercy for your courage. Marti xxooo
But what if in my mental state I put the gun on your head and blow you away before I blow myself away? Does God's "grace" contradict his word which teaches that... does who commit murders will not go to heaven? On the other hand, since true Christianity is a relationship not a religion, anyone that is so hopeless in their depression that is willing to blow their head off... don't seem to really be having a sound relationship with almighty God.
Yes! Love God and take your meds! xxooo
Rick is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. However, he knows diddly about theology.
And what is your definition of "theology"?
Oh, so you've met him personally. Guess you must be one of his churchmembers. Oh, wait....but you said he knows nothing of theology?? Then why do you attend his church?
My 21 year old son put a gun to his head almost 2 years ago. Just 1 1/2 years prior he lost his 21 year old sister to a pulmonary embolism, he then slipped into a deep depression for the 1st time in his life, and my wife and I could not pull him out of it. Many of the comments here are Incredibly ignorant, and my only wish is that you do not someday have to feel the pain that my wife and I have had to endure. Depression is a serious illness that affects people from all walks of life, and this much I can guarantee, you and your family are not immune from depression and the consequence thereof, suicide.
I am so sorry to hear of your losses and your pain. Some 20+ years ago my 39 year old brother took a gun and killed himself. He called me before he did it and told me what he was going to do. I was devastated and said to him everything I could think of to try to talk him out of it. He was in Colorado and I was in California. I could not be there to grab that gun away from him and get him to the hospital for some help. Days prior to his suicide I made him promise me that he would come to CA and stay with me so that I could find help for him. He promised! He lied! He died and it killed me. I could not bear the pain and I prayed that God would take me right there and then. But He didn't and I grieved for what seemed forever. My comfort, when I did allow myself to be comforted, came from my belief in God. xxooo
I am so sorry for your loss of your children. I pray for your healing and broken heart.
Children can be born with biochemical or neurogolical problems. One never knows what the gene pool is going to pan out. Environmental is, equally, as important.
Objectively speaking, again, it is about genetics.
For the believers, out there, God did not give us anything that we cannot handle.
If one's heart is true, they will find a way.
Is it possible to get a clip of their closing comments on the Legacy of their son. I thought that was very powerful; especially Kay's comments on the Hope box? Could you please post that. Thanks!
Have you checked Piers Morgan's stuff on CNN. He may have a transcript of the interview that you could copy.

lOTS OF MESSAGES YOU CAN WATCH THERE.
I have struggled with depression and anxiety since I was a teenager. I didn't know why I felt so hopless and frightened. I finally went to a doctor when I was in my 30's and he told me it was a chemical inbalance in my brain. I am 65 now and I have managed through paxil and talk therapy to go on. I have never attempted suicide but I certainly understand those who suffer with this awful affliction.I have thought about it frequently, but for some reason I am fortunate to not have attempted it. It is not because of any faith in god or Jesus that has kept me strong. I am an agnostic and am happy for my choice. My empathy and sympathy goes out to any parent or child whose loved one commits suicide. Rick Warren's son was hurting so bad he saw no other solution.
Thank you for "coming out" and sharing your personal experiences. This is what we need. People with brain disorders, like you and me, need to stop feeling ashamed of our disease. People with other kinds of physical ailments are not judged like we are. I applaud you for your courage. Marti xxooo
Really sad (and speaks volumes as to the stigma) that you have to refer her sharing of experience as "coming out". When will there come a day when there will be no element of "shame" attached to mental illness? Our society is still so "backwards" in that sense.
Dear Rick and Kay,
I watched you last night on Piers Morgans show. I felt so related to the issues you stated about Matthew, I was overwhelmed. I am 51 and after years of phychiatricts and more medications that my husband has to dispense them for me. I probably wouldn't do it. I was placed in a regional mental health hospital and remained there for 4 months. I too was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, along with clinical depression. When I look back on my life I realize it probably started in my early 20's when things changed. My husband is a good support but I try to hide a lot from him so he won't get upset same with the family, that saying "Fake it till you Make it" I just don't think I will make it like Matthew must have felt. The darkness just swallows you at times you never know when it decides to rear its ugly head. I still have suicidal ideation and homicidal ideation. In Canada I find it much more harder to find a gun, which yes can be a good thing but when you really want to end this pain that you feel will never go away, you want a gun bad. You made a statement that summed up quite a bit if my life. I use to have a fair amount of friends that I was social with quite a bit. Now I don't want any friends they drain me and it does take to much maintence. I am so happy that you have this strong faith in God and that Matthew was given this gift as well. I feel like God wouldn't even want me.
Kay I loved your HOPE box and your message box I am sure it has helped you immensily.
God Bless you both and Matthew.
He is in a nice safe place now with no inside darkness.
Annette, I am replying to you but this post is for everyone on here too. I too suffer with depression but not to the extent of you or Matthew. however, having depression that at times leaves me unable to function well makes me understand what I hear from you and people like Matthew. I can only imagine that depth of despair. what people need to understand is that it IS a disorder, it IS and illness. and just as people have to control a physical iillness or disability as best they can, it is the same for someone with mental illness. I pray that you find some moments of joy in your life. those small moments of joy and love – please think on these things as best you can and find the support that you need as best you can. life is short and life is not happy for a lot of people. with love and care I write to you. Susan
Thank you for stating that. I agree with you. xxooo
I have made a previous comment. My heart goes out to to the Warrens. I have a 27 year old Autistic son. I can certainly relate to the challenges.
Why can't I view the entire interview? Instead it seems to be completely taken out of context in order to place emphasis on the gun control issue! That is so wrong! Using a tragedy and someone's death to propagandize your point of view! Piers You've completely lost my respect because of this. I'm sure You've added to Rick & Kay's pain. Way to go mr. Morgan!
Go to Rick Warren's facebook or website (His church is Saddleback). You might find what you're looking for. xxooo
The entire interview is being shown again tomorrow night, 3 times on CNN I think. Check out your tv guide or go online to find it. Check out Saddleback Church because Pastor Rick has posted the times. xxooo
CNN will REPEAT the #WarrensOnCNN interview multiple times TONIGHT at 6, 9, and 12 PT and SATURDAY at 6 PT. xxooo
By looking at me from outside you would think that "I have it all together" I have suffered from bipolar for 27 years. With the on-slot of mental illness came anorexia. One thing that I am sad to say is the loved ones that try to help but they just don't get the "dark hole" One thing that I could really relate to is when Kay said the last thing that Matt text her was that he was so tired! Wow! I have planned my death out several times but I think that starving to death would not be my fault and then my family would not blame me. By the grace of God I am still existing. Mental illness is so misunderstood that is for sure. Sometimes I think that the movie (although I like it) "One Flew Over the Coo Coos's Nest" did not really shed light on the severity of the illness. Maybe even stigmatized it wrong. On closing I would like to say that if you really do not "get" mental illness please do not judge those who live it.
Honestly speaking, Warren and Kay must have been suffered from the painful days and it was a difficult and hard time, may the sorrow soon be replaced by the happy memories of their loved one.
There are two Marti's on this thread. The Marti with xoxoxo at the end and the Marti. However both seem to be in alignment with one another.
I think the mother is a worthless mother how can you sit there and blame it only on your son!
Having a GAY son IS it that bad ,,,He"s crying for help!! The Father also you lost your son because of your your religious believer powering antics sorry for your loss of a beautiful being!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It isn't always about Mental Illness that people commit suicide, sometimes its just hopelessness. In my case it is from making a bad choice, now I can't find a job, the only reason I am not homeless is the help from my parents, I owe money to the court system, IRS, ex-wife..she keeps my kids from me...what is a reason to stay here. Don't say for the well being of the children or others...where are they when I need them? My daughter didn't even say hi to me when I ran into her at a football game tonight. Can you really say you were there for those in your life that commit suicide. We need to look at what social issues lead to these illnesses/thoughts not just curing the 'mentally ill'
I certainly agree with you regarding social issues. You seem very depressed and in sorrow. I would really encourage you to seek medical help perhaps even a mental hospital to get well. Regarding your "bad choice" that was made there are jobs out there that give second chances to people with records, or past ethical issues (not saying you did any of this but merely for an example) so I encourage you to either go to a temp agency (you gotta start somewhere) or depending on what state you live there are numerous workforce offices to help you get a job. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I just have to mention one more thing to you, my brother said the same thing regarding his kids "dont say for the well being of the children..." because now his 5 year old son cries every time he is at my mom's house (where my brother lived before leaving this earth) and goes and sits in front of his dad's picture and stares at it for a long time. You may say there is no benefit/purpose to your life but I promise you your children would be devastated. My heart goes out to you.
Where do I start? I have been a believer in God and JC since birth. I am a Christian. I am so sorry that your son Matthew is gone. I am so sorry that he chose to take his own life. I am so sorry that you worried about this much of his life. I was a neighbor to a couple and their daughters. One of their daughters took her own life. I really do not understand why she did this. I cannot seem to get over it. I think God is calling me to be an advocate against suicide.
Please try not to judge others. We can never know what we would do in a given situation until we get to that point. We know that God loves us abundantly and that He has a plan for each of us. We do choose how to respond to God and to each other. We also know that God will work good in all things for those called according to His purposes. Trust Him.
May God comfort this family in His love
I can relate to your story. I have a son with mental illness. I believe there needs to be an awareness of the difficulty families have of getting help when their child is in crisis. I have stories you wouldn't believe. I believe some of these recent tragedies could have been prevented if families could have gotten help for a member in crisis. My son has agreed to write a book with me so both sides of the story could be told, but we have never done anything like this. I would like to be apart of helping other families, and also apart of bringing awareness to changes that need to be made to make it easier to get help.
His wife, Kay Warren, wiped tears from his cheek as they talked about the five months since their 27-year-old son, who had borderline personality disorder, shot himself with a gun he bought illegally online. The Warrens combined personal moments from their story Kay hugging her son s body as the coroner took it away, Rick reading sympathy letters from people who Matthew had led to Christ with their .

10 Best Cocktails at the Northwest Cocktail & Distillery Festival
Just two months after the privatization of liquor sales in Washington—meaning you can now buy alcohol in most grocery stores around the city of Seattle—the excitement about well-crafted cocktails and locally-distilled spirits has reached fever pitch. The NW Cocktail and Distillery Festival tapped into that by hosting a two-day festival celebrating producers in the Pacific Northwest and the bartenders who serve their wares. With educational seminars, distillery tasting tables, a cocktail contest, and a Prohibition-themed costume party, there were almost too many cocktails to try, but these ten were the tops of the two days.
Gin & Tonic from Small Hand Foods: Jennifer Colliau came up from San Francisco to teach a seminar on making your own ingredients for pre-Prohibition style cocktails. Drinking her cocktails was proof of the homemade difference in the ingredients.
The Waiting Game, Terrence Jackson from The Tin Table: The bright pink hue came from the beet-ginger granita scraped into the glass, topped with rosemary-honey simple syrup and rimmed with dehydrated orange peel.
Gun Street Girl, Matt Bailey from Mistral Kitchen: The spicy, bright cocktail was a work of art, combining red bell pepper water, lime juice, clover honey, clarified jalapeño, and Helbing caraway liqueur.
A Drink to your Health, Keith Waldbauer from Liberty: Fresh carrot and orange juice were mixed with New Deal #3 Gin, and New Deal Ginger Liqueur, along with red curry powder and habañero shrub.
Flaming Dutch Oven, Casey Robison from Barrio: Served from hollowed-out pineapples and lit on fire, there was no missing this one. The Dutch Harbor Grog that was the base liquor was a hit at the distillery sampling table, and the drink matched up the flavor with honey, lime, cinnamon, fresh pineapple, Angostura bitters, and Falernum.
Man with a Gun on a Mission, from the Tin Table: This pink potion included perhaps the oddest ingredient at the festival: blue cheese tincture. The cheese-y funk was nearly undetectable, though, under layers of lemon juice, blackberry honey water, and figs.
Peach Legacy from Cedarbrook Lodge: Inside the jar was Bainbridge Island's Legacy vodka, 20 One semillon dessert wine, peach puree, orange juice, and lemon verbena.
Bloody Mary from Demitri's: Demitri's is a bloody mary mix and accessory company, and the bloodies that they were putting out were strong and spicy, and further improved when sipped through their pepperoni stick-straws.
Ship Canal Punch from Bastille Café and Bar: The Big Gin punch, with its lemony tartness, and indulgent pineapple gomme and curacao sweetness, seemed to be exactly the right drink to sip while people swirled around in flapper dresses with feathers in their hair.
Boozy Milkshake from Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery: While she has multiple flavors at her Ballard storefront, party-goers toasted with this salted caramel espresso version, spiked with Bulleit Bourbon. A better way to drink your dessert might not exist.
Check them all out in the slideshow above. Did you hit the NW Cocktail and Distillery Festival? Any favorite sips that we missed? Tell us in the comments section.

I've started work on a Scala implementation for Ext Direct, so far i got a few examples working in a example project https://github.com/Rovak/ScalextExample. I will be implementing all examples from the documentation, and some extra real-time components using websockets later.
For now it only works with Play Framework 2.1, future versions will be framework independent and will contain unit-tests to ensure stable versions.
I would like to hear from the community which Scala frameworks are popular in combination with Ext JS, and any ideas/suggestions to improve the library.
The project can be found at Github https://github.com/Rovak/Scalext

Networks are all around us and you are using one right now to access this course.
Imagine for a moment, how different your life would be without access to Facebook, Snapchat, Google, YouTube, Whatsapp or any of the other websites on the Internet? How would you live with no Internet?
The Internet is extremely important in modern life today and all websites and Internet communication relies on networking. This reliance is only predicted to continue with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the next few years.
Without routers, switches, network cabling and protocols like BGP there would be no Internet!
This course will teach you how networks actually work and how you are able to connect to websites like Facebook, Google, and YouTube.
Companies throughout the world (from the smallest to the largest) rely on networks designed, installed and maintained by networking engineers. Join this in demand industry!
Start your journey today learning about networking.
Content in this course can be used towards your CCNA. Topics such as IP addressing, subnetting and many others can be applied directly to passing your CCNA certification.
Access our online simulations so you can practice on simulated Cisco routers and switches. You will get to type commands such as enable, configure terminal, router ospf and many others and learn how to configure devices.
I want to welcome you to this GNS3 Cisco CCNA course! I'm David Bombal, and I have been teaching networking courses for over 15 years. I qualified as a Cisco Certified Interwork Engineer (CCIE) in 2003 and hold with numerous other networking certifications. I'm also a Cisco and HPE certified instructor where I have trained thousands of networking engineers in many of the largest companies in the world including Fortune 100 companies.
I have designed this course for anyone wanting to learn more about networking and gain foundational knowledge, to help them embark on their networking career. The concepts taught in this course can be applied directly to multiple industry certifications including the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).
In this course, you will learn about topics such as IP addressing, IP subnetting, Routing, Switches, VLANs, Spanning Tree, Network Address Translation, Wireless and a whole lot more.
You will also learn more about the latest networking trends including OpenFlow and Software Defined Networking.
The course covers the topics in the Cisco ICND1, ICND2 and CCNA exams.
At the end of this course, you will be able to confidently discuss networking topics; and be able to start configuring real networking devices such as routers and switches. In this an introductory course, but contains a lot of information that can be directly applied to the CCNA certification.
The ideal student for this course is someone looking to break into the networking field, someone looking to extend their knowledge from PCs and servers to networking, or someone interested in getting knowledge to work in one of the most exciting, most in-demand jobs in IT - networking.
There are no requirements necessary to enroll in this course, I only ask that you come open minded and ready to learn.
Feel free to take a look at the course description and some of the sample free videos.
I look forward to seeing you on the inside!
"Best instructor ever! David is a great instructor, he is really good at explaining complex topics through examples, he tries to answer all the questions you asked in a timely manner.
One of the most valuable things about this course is the use of GNS3, this will give the CCNA candidates a great opportunity to learn using the real IOS, GNS3 allows you to integrate many tools that will help learn how to monitor Networks as well, David explain this very well. You will not find a better course in GNS3 Academy or any other place, trust me.
The price you pay is nothing compare to what you learn. David will explain even more than what you need to know to pass the CCNA.
A piece of advice, if you really want to pass the CCNA you need to do a lot of practice and more practice. If you can read the theory from the Cisco CCNA Official cert guide you will do well in the exam.
Remember, David will not take the exam for you, you have to do it on your own but trust me, the course is really good."
- Kenneth Vargas
"This is by far the best and most detailed networking course I have encountered. It has focused content both for the beginner which wants to learn the core areas of networks, as well as for the more enhanced students which plan on taking the CISCO CCENT/CCNA certifications.
- Clarity of the videos and the instructor speech.
- Consistency of the class program.
- Quality of presentation.
- Quality of content.
I have taken several CCNA training courses in UDEMY. This one focuses not on speed of learning, but on quality of material so the student, no matter the level can deep learn the subjects of discussion.
David takes his students, to a superior level of learning for the Networking realm. I look forward to other courses by David Bombai."
- Robert Rivera

Diane Larsen, founder of Sparkle in Pink, started Sparkle in Pink with her daughter, Quynn Larsen. The children's boutique wholesaler explained business was growing fast and they needed to build a new warehouse. The new company was using pick stations on the floor, on the selves, on the walls. Larsen commented, "We were exploding at the seams. Honestly, we didn't have a bar code system so it's memorization and signs. It's very difficult; everything was manual."
"Warehouse Mobile Solutions helped us see that half that size was needed WarehouseOS software. The software we are using right now is Ship Station and Shopify; they brought in a new software that will integrate with all of my systems now so we can be more efficient, minimize time, and minimize number of employees needed. This will save us money in our overhead monthly expenses," added Larsen.
Sparkle in Pink's new warehouse is in Draper, UT. The family owned business offers the trendiest children's boutique products at wholesale pricing.

About WarehouseOS:
The RF gun, constant verifications, small keypads, and hard to read screens are quickly becoming yesterday's technology. Tablets are replacing the RF gun. WarehouseOS, a new tablet-based Warehouse Operations System brings warehouses into the future today. Warehouse management systems have been around for a long time with too many companies still using the RF gun to conduct inventory management, scan in new items, and pick orders. The RF gun solutions typically cost double what modern solutions offer. WarehouseOS and associated apps have been developed to make everything about the warehouse easier and better. Apps allow small or large companies to receive products, manage inventory, perform cycle counting, conduct single picks or do batch picking, verify items picked and pack them into boxes.
An easy to navigate user interface means warehouse personnel need almost no training before performing warehouse tasks. Receiving, put-away, picking, and packaging quickly become the easiest jobs on the floor. A team of experts in material handling equipment and solutions developed WarehouseOS to maximize the throughput of warehousing and distributing facilities. From small eCommerce, to high volume SKU facilities, from omni-channel companies to FMCG (fast moving consumer goods), WarehouseOS is equipped to handle everything. From small startups with simple needs to complex, large distribution centers, WarehouseOS is the tablet solution which enables manufacturers and distribution centers to be a step ahead of the competition.

Maurer misses workout with stiff back
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Right-handed pitcher Brandon Maurer was held out of Friday's workout after his back locked up on him in the morning, causing him to miss his first live batting practice.
Maurer, 23, said he didn't think the issue was serious and he hasn't had any prior problems, though it came at a bad time with pitchers just taking the mound to face hitters for the first time.
"I think I just must have slept on it wrong," Maurer said. "It's just a little stiff back, that's all. We'll see how it feels tomorrow and go from there."
Maurer is one of about 10 pitchers competing for starting rotation berths this spring in a wide-open camp. After Felix Hernandez and Hisashi Iwakuma, there are no locks for roster spots among the contenders.
Top rookie prospects Taijuan Walker and James Paxton both have a chance to win starting jobs, as do veteran non-roster invitees Scott Baker and Randy Wolf as they come back from Tommy John surgeries. Returners Erasmo Ramirez and Blake Beavan are also in the mix, along with Maurer and newcomers Matt Palmer and Mark Rogers.
Maurer was the surprise of last year's spring when he earned a rotation berth with a strong camp despite never having pitched above Double-A ball. He wound up going 5-8 with a 6.30 ERA in 22 games, including 14 starts.
