Our Product Configurators work with most eCommerce solutions. More specifically, it works with any platform with a robust API. Shopify is the most common eCommerce solution used by our customers. This blog post will show you how to map one of our Product Configurators to a product in your Shopify store.
Prerequisite - ShopifyFD
The way to map a Product Configurator to a Shopify product is through the product metafields. The Shopify admin does not provide access to metafields though. There's a handy and free tool that you can add that does though. Its and Chrome extension and can be added here.
Note that this is a free extension created by FreakDesign in Australia. You can tip them for providing this extension (I have because their extension is well done) at their website.
Once you've installed the extension, you should see the ShopifyFD icon in Chrome as shown below.
This new button only works when you are logged into the Shopify admin. If you go to a product in your admin and click on the ShopifyFD button to activate it, ShopifyFD will add a Metafields section to the page. It looks like this:
As you explore metafields extension, you may find that your products already have metafields assigned. If some metafields do already exist, they were probably added by one of the apps in your site.
Quick Metafields Overview
In Shopify, many of the objects have metafields. For the Product Configurator, we use product metafields.
Metafields have three components, Namespace, Key and Value. The namespace is used to create categories to make it easy to group related metafields.
Product Configurators and Metafields
For the Product Configurator, each product can be assigned one Product Configurator. The Product Configurator uses the following metafields:
The configuration_id defines which Configurator to use. And the configuration_options determine how that Configurator will be used.
The configuration_id is a 30 character value. Here's what it looks like when creating a new metafield for the Product Configurator:
To find the Configuration ID to put in the value box, use the list that ProductGraph has provided you that has all of your Configurators listed with their IDs.
The configuration_options metafield is a little more complex. Here's an example of data that's put there. This is the most common settings used.
{ "alwaysOn": true,
"uniqueItemsMode": true,
"visualizerDocked": true,
"inputLocationStyle": "dock-right",
"destinationPage":"/collections/add-a-gift-box" }
Here's what the settings control:
- Always On. This determines if the Configurator is always on or if it is toggled by the variants settings set in ProductGraph section of the theme settings.
- Unique Items Mode. This determines how the Configurator responds to the product quantity being greater than one. True has the configurator create a unique configuration for each quantity. False has the same configuration for all of the quantity.
- Visualizer Docked. This turns on the 'dock' visualizer.
- Input Location Style. This determines which side of the screen the dock comes out from.
- Destination Page. The page the customer will go to once they click the Add to Cart button. The default if this field is not used is to take the user to the cart. Most stores use this feature to upsell the customer with giftboxes, gift wrapping, etc.
Bulk Editing Metafields
Shopify's bulk editor for products can be used to view and edit metafields. But the field selection interface doesn't show metafields. So you'll need to specify them in the url string. Here's an example of a URL. You'll need to insert your store's name in place of my-shopify-store.
Here's a view of the bulk editor with the Product Configurator metafields:
At ProductGraph, we provide full service consulting to eCommerce stores. We specialize in Shopify and take a data-centric approach to your product catalog.

Saturday saw the unveiling of plaques honouring three Hull City legends from yesteryear at an event led by Hull City Council (HCC) and Hull City Supporters' Trust (HCST).
In Spring this year HCC's Centenary Plaques Panel unveiled six plaques honouring three Hull FC and three Hull KR greats, but at the time no Hull City players were honoured.
HCST Chairman Geoff Bielby met with Councillor Mary Glew of the Plaques Panel who explained that while both Rugby Clubs had proposed their respective club's players to be honoured and been very cooperative, the council had not received a response from Hull City despite calls and e-mails to the club.
Geoff offered to assist with the project in the absence of club involvement and joined the May meeting of the Centenary Plaques Panel. It was agreed that Billy Bly, Raich Carter and Andy Davidson would be the three Hull City greats honoured by the plaques.
The unveiling took place at the superb exhibition 'Tiger Rags – The Fabric of Hull City AFC' in the Streetlife Museum. Incidentally, this exhibition is well worth a visit and has just recently been extended until November 19th.
Former City players Ken Wagstaff, Malcolm Lord and Rob McDonald attended the unveiling event as well as a number of City Supporters. Dean Windass represented the club.
The occasion was enhanced by the work of poet Dave Osgerby who traditionally delivers a poem at each plaque unveiling. Dave is a member of the Plaques Panel and an avid City fan.
The event was a wonderful demonstration of what can be achieved through HCST working with the council, local media, fellow fans groups and the Club. We live by our strapline 'Ambition and Tradition' and we will continue to work for the benefit of members and the wider supporter base. This can happen without the club but it was great that despite their initial reluctance they did at least contribute through the attendance of Windass, particularly on a matchday when we're sure he'll have had other commitments.
The plaques will now need a permanent home. HCST have had a long-term aim to develop a memorial to the club's first home ground on Anlaby Road. Part of the original ground is still visible close to the KCOM Stadium. The land is owned by Hull City Council who are supportive of the initiative.
The families of all three players who either played or trained on the Anlaby Road ground liked the idea that the three plaques will hopefully find a permanent home on that site.
HCST will continue to work with the relevant bodies to try to provide this permanent memorial to Hull City history and a fitting home for the new plaques.

Does anybody out there remember the great executive information systems movement? If you were around in the 1980s and '90s, you may recall hearing how EISes were going to change the world, put everyone on the same page and turn CE
CEOs and CFOs into dedicated computer users. Well, after several years of hype, hope and glory, the whole effort fell flat on its face.
What we had here was a failure to communicate. It seems top decision makers didn't want to do their decision-making while pounding at keyboards and clicking through online reports – they wanted someone else to do that for them. The information hunters and gatherers that were tagged to sit in front of EIS screens didn't seem to appreciate its value either. Technical barriers were daunting – companies maintained islands and stovepipes of information that couldn't be reached by one system. Vendors moved on, either abandoning EIS efforts altogether or repackaging the software as decision-support systems.
What goes around comes around. Fast-forward to 2001, and we see a phenomenon being pushed called Enterprise Information Portals (EIPs). Coincidentally, or maybe not so coincidentally, the rationale for the EIP looks and sounds a lot like that for the EIS. "We've had portals around for a long time in one form or another," says Darcy Fowkes, analyst with Aberdeen Group, who has been watching this phenomenon unfold. "It's just repackaging many of the things we have already implemented." The portal is, in many respects, the Internet generation's version of EIS. However, things may turn out differently this time around, Fowkes points out.
Portals represent a golden opportunity for employees working on front-end e-business initiatives to work with mainframe and midrange systems staff. Previously, these two groups worked separately, Fowkes explains. "The people maintaining that the AS/400s and S/390s weren't close to the front end of the organization." However, with Y2K past, and thanks to initiatives, such as portal development, the chasm is closing. Mainframe and midrange systems professionals are increasingly speaking the language of e-business, and e-business evangelists are recognizing how much they need back-end system access. Ultimately, the future of Web-to-host connectivity is in portals.
Portal Bandwagon Overflows
Major vendors, including IBM, Computer Associates, SAP and Oracle, offer portal-enabled products or interfaces. Microsoft offers its "Digital Dashboard," a Windows-centric kind of portal. The Web-to-host vendors are getting into the act, as well, moving their solutions to more portal-like interfaces. One survey by Delphi Group finds that 43 percent of organizations had deployed business portals by the end of last year. Another survey by Evans Data Corp. finds that more than 23 percent of software developers who do any Internet work are now spending most of their time working on corporate Web portals for internal use, mainly corporate communications.
Potentially, portals, like Web-to-host products, can put a new browser face on mainframe and midrange applications, adding the usability and functionality that's expected in an e-business environment. Unfortunately, at this time, many portal products do not directly support legacy applications, so unless you purchase a portal-enabled package from a Web-to-host vendor, you will face extensive middleware integration work. More mature Web-to-host environments offer highly-integrated middleware links between back-end databases and front-end e-business systems. This enables the newer front-end systems to better leverage business processes already programmed into the mainframe.
The greatest promise for portals appears to be at the business unit level – supporting or viewing specific business functions – such as self-service environments linked to an intranet. The Delphi survey confirms that most portal deployments are on a departmental level. Intranet portals can substantially reduce administrative, printing and purchasing costs.
Portals are not only a cost-cutter; they may provide benefits as a means of decision support and knowledge management. Portals could play a role in directing end users to appropriate stores of both structured and unstructured corporate data and information. In addition, such knowledge sharing can be extended out to the supply chain. By enabling access to collaborative data that may be stored in a data warehouse or data mart, managers can use analytical tools to monitor and measure developments in the supply chain.
Not only do portals represent a new means to get your mainframe data out to e-business end users, but also they also have the potential to increase profitability. That's a formula sure to warm the heart of any C-level executive, no matter how much he or she avoids computers.

The Interfaith Alliance of Idaho (TIA Idaho) joins with human rights groups to unmask the racism of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). FAIR announced on Tuesday that they will target members of the Senate Appropriations Committee which includes Senator Larry Craig of Idaho.
TIA Idaho is working with immigrant, civil, and human rights organizations, religious groups, labor, and community organizations across the nation to "hold FAIR's feet to the fire" by urging Senator Larry Craig to challenge FAIR's racism when its followers visit and call his Senate offices this week to lobby against immigrants. FAIR is pushing to include the extreme anti-immigrant measure the REAL ID act on a final Emergency Supplemental bill.
According to Pam Baldwin, the TIA Idaho executive director, "For too long FAIR has been an unchecked, rogue organization, pressing its hateful anti-immigrant agenda in states across the nation, hiding behind the mask of variously-named 'coalitions,' and flaunting decency and fairness."
"FAIR has not only received more than $1.2 million from white supremacist foundations, their staff also continue to court white supremacist members," added Baldwin.
"A FAIR staffer is even reported to be a member of the racist Council of Conservative Citizens," said Devin Burghart, research director at the Center for New Community. The Center has released a detailed report documenting FAIR's involvement with white supremacist and vigilante organizations. It is available online at http://www.buildingdemocracy.org/
Baldwin noted that "Immigration continues to be one of the most critical issues facing the entire nation, and public debate about how to most effectively address it is an essential part of the democratic process. But neither democracy, decency, nor human dignity is served or respected when organizations like FAIR encourage racism and vigilantism to change immigration policy in ways that deny basic human rights and the very humanity of immigrants themselves. This is a critical opportunity for Senator Larry Craig to show that hate has no place in the halls of Congress.
We urge Senator Larry Craig to reject the politics of bigotry and hold FAIR's feet to the fire!"
Pam Baldwin is the Executive Director The Interfaith Alliance of Idaho

Unfurnished Rooms Vinyl LP
Release Date: 11/10/2017
Discs: 1
'Blancmange has been part of the soundtrack to my life ever since Happy Families was released.' JOHN GRANT
'Listening to Blancmange obsessively. Probably the most under-rated electronic act of all time.' MOBY
Blancmange's new album was written and recorded by Neil Arthur and co-produced by Benge (Wrangler/John Foxx & The Maths and Gazelle Twin co-producer). It's been a fantastically creative period for both of them, releasing their debut album as a new electronic duo – Fader's First Light - in June 2017 and then the final sessions for Unfurnished Rooms followed immediately in the summer.
For the new Blancmange record, all the songs were written by Arthur while Benge added percussion and layers of analogue synth, with the pair then mixing the record together in the latter's Memetune studios in Cornwall. 'Don't Get Me Wrong' features John Grant on piano and backing vocals.www.blancmange.co.uk

First off, some exciting news! Stephen has been working as a contractor on base near our place for just under two years, but he was offered a government spot and will be starting that at the end of the month. He'll actually be doing the exact same job, but with better pay and benefits. We have been praying so hard that something of this nature would happen and it has. We feel very blessed especially considering Stephen was chosen over many people who have been there much longer than him. He will have to temporarily work swing shift for a little while. We are not thrilled about that, but at least it is temporary!
On to Stephen's 35th birthday! The kids decided he needed a dragon theme so Tanner and Vance drew dragon pictures and they all helped me find a dragon to make a sign with off the internet.
The boys had free coupons to go miniature golfing so we decided to do that. We actually went miniature golfing on Stephen's 30th birthday as well!
|Stephen and the boys on his birthday!

The IoT market is poised for rapid growth
Number of IoT devices to top 45bn by 2023: study
MANAMA, August 31, 2017
The total number of IoT (Internet of Things) devices will grow from approximately 12.44 billion devices in 2016 to over 45.31 billion devices by 2023, at a global compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3 per cent, a report said.
The study titled "Growth Opportunities for Service Providers in the (IoT)" by growth partnership company Frost & Sullivan shares an overview of the IoT landscape in the next 12-18 months in terms of adoption, applications and key market players, as well as forecasts growth opportunities for vendors and service providers in different levels of it IoT ecosystem.
"Application development platforms are the engines that drive IoT growth. By tightening integration and consolidating IoT platforms, seamless solution development, costs, and value for customers will be improved," said Frost & Sullivan Internet of Things (IoT) research director Dilip Sarangan.
Five predictions for IoT in the next 12-18 months include:
• Transition from connected devices to the use of cognitive or predictive computing and sentient tools;
• Use of artificial intelligence to transform smart devices so that they react to changes in the environment without human intervention;
• Increased commoditization of platforms;
• Boom in drone delivery and use of drones to monitor remote wildfires, cell towers, and electric lines;
• Unsecure devices and malware escalate cyber-attacks, making IoT a national security hazard.
"While it is impossible to create standards across all the industries that are part of IoT, there is need for standardization around how data is collected, stored, and communicated across different industries and applications," noted Sarangan. "This will provide leadership opportunities for large platform vendors."
The IoT market is poised for rapid growth with the development of microelectronics, ubiquitous connectivity, and cognition. Due to the abundant opportunities for vendors and service providers across all levels of the IoT ecosystem, enterprise systems integrators and platform vendors have a promising future.
In the consumer space, Amazon, Google, Apple, Samsung, and Microsoft have intensified efforts to dominate the personal assistance race to control homes and the profitable consumer IoT and artificial intelligence sector. To succeed in a highly fragmented market, consolidation will be essential with vendors and service providers coalescing around large enterprise platforms that provide the necessary building blocks and encourage the development of applications from smaller vendors. – TradeArabia News Service

Welcome to Low Sugar Momma. I am a mom to a one-year who is eating up a storm. I didn't want him to eat the same processed, carby, sugary junk like most other one-year olds eat. It was time to make a permanent change in our family's diet. In addition, to making our food healthier, it was important to me to lose some unwanted pounds that crept on before and during pregnancy. For the sake of my son, I wanted to feel better and be more active. I want to run around with him and play ball. I want to go to a water park and not feel like a heifer. I want him to be proud of who is mom is and not be embarrassed that she was obese.
So, this is my journey.
I began to eat better August 2007, about 2 months after my son was born. To date, I have lost 35 pounds. I want to lose another 50. It has taken me 10 months to lose these stubborn 35 pounds....that's a mere 3.5 lbs per month! But, I'm still doing it and hanging in there. After all this is a lifestyle change...permanent! Not a fad diet.
I've chosen a combination of Atkins and a paleolithic diet . This means whole, natural foods. Generally low sugar and low-carb. It consists of plenty of meat, eggs, low-carb dairy, a good amount of veggies and some fruit. This diet is nutrient dense! Not unhealthy at all. These are whole unprocessed foods. Anything made or altered by man is not on my diet. I've tweaked the Atkins and paleo ideas to suit my needs and lifestyle. I wanted it to be as wholesome as possible. The diet sodas that Atkins allows are not on my diet (except for the occasional treat). The paleolithic diet allows for honey, which is not allowed on Atkins. But I've chosen to use it sparingly (along with maple syrup and stevia), especially for the recipes that my son will eat, knowing very well that if I eat it, it will not help me lose weight. The paleo diet also excludes milk products. I LOVE my dairy so I have included the low-carb dairy (and some milk for DS) according to the Atkins diet.
Throughout this journey, I will post my weigh-ins, recipes, and blog about my feelings and thoughts about food, feeding young ones and husbands, and the up and down process of losing weight. I hope you enjoy!

Today in Space History: Happy Birthday Maria Mitchell!
This page is about historic developments in space exploration, both recent and highlights from the past. I'll try to keep up-to date whenever there is an exciting development with the Curiosity Rover, the International Space Station, or the new Orion space mission, but at the very least, I'll use this page to commemorate developments in science, astronomy, and the space race!
Today In Space History: Happy Birthday Maria Mitchell!
If you've been on Google today, you probably saw that today is the 195th birthday of the first ever female astronomer! I thought that in honor of Miss Mitchell, I'd provide a summary of her accomplishments and give you a glimpse of the comet she discovered, (the one that bears her name).
"One does enjoy acting the part of greatness for a while! I was tired after three days of it, and glad to take the cars and run away" – Maria Mitchell
Maria Mitchell was born in Nantucket Massachusetts in 1818. The daughter of Quakers who believed that both men and women should be educated. Her father built his own school, taught her in the arts and sciences, and provided her with a telescope. Miss Mitchell became a school teacher and librarian and continued to study the heavens in her spare time.
On October 1st, 1847 during a family party, Mitchell noticed a flash of light through the telescope and correctly determined that it was a new comet. She carefully recorded its position, and sent her findings to Cambridge. You can read about this momentous find in "Maria Mitchell: A Life in Journals and Letters," a collection of her writings compiled by Henry Albers. I took the liberty of placing a link to her journal entry about the comet here:
The notoriety of her discovery won Miss Mitchell to become a distinguished astronomer- she was able to quit her job as a librarian and travel across the world, visiting observatories in New York, England, Ireland, Britain, and Austria. She also got a new job at the National Almanac Office, using her skill as an astronomer to chart the position of Venus.
Miss Mitchell was not only a great figure in astronomy, she set many firsts for women in general and female astronomers in particular. She was the first American woman ever to discover a comet, she was the first female member of the American Association of Arts and Sciences, and the first person (male or female), to become a faculty member at Vassar. She also stood up for women's rights, asserting that women deserve equal pay as men, and that women should be encouraged just as she was, to focus on intellectual pursuits and not be limited to simply being wives and mothers. Near the end of her life, she helped found the Association for the Advancement of Women, and ran it for a few years before her death in 1889.
Her life was marked by a wonder and curiosity that allowed her to not only increase humankind's understanding of the heavens, but allowed her to question some of the prevailing views about women and their ability to contribute to society. I particularly find her views on astronomy to be filled with beauty and expresses why I continue to run this blog: "We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but is somewhat beauty and poetry."
I couldn't agree more.
Happy Stargazing!

Maria Mitchell Association: http://www.mariamitchell.org/
By the way, in case you were wondering when Miss Mitchell's comet might come back. Well, her comet, (which is known scientifically as C/1847 T1), is a non-periodic comet, which means that it only passes through the solar system every 200 years or so. Predicting when these comets will re-appear in the sky is extremely difficult, but there is a chance we might see it by 2047. Keep your eyes peeled.

Dutch Muslims Want Anti-Islam Lawmaker Convicted, Geert Wilders Neo Nazi Links Bringing Him Down, See Photo.
AMSTERDAM – Muslim witnesses said Monday that a Dutch lawmaker's anti-Islamic comments had led to attacks and intimidation, and they pleaded with judges to convict him and give him a symbolic fine of one euro ($1.40).
Geert Wilders is facing charges of inciting hatred and discrimination against Muslims for statements that include comparing Islam with Nazism and calling for banning the Quran and taxing Muslim scarves, which he calls "head rags." His trial has been seen as testing the limits of free speech. Prosecutors last week acknowledged they have failed to prove the case against him and called for his acquittal. But the judges may disagree, and their verdict is expected Nov. 5.
"Arson. Attempted arson. Vandalism. Disturbances. Incivility to people attending mosques. Obscenities. Intimidating behavior — they have all become everyday occurrences" as a result of Wilders' public remarks, said Mohammed Enait, speaking for an alliance of Dutch mosques that had asked to testify as victims in the case.
Wilders denies inciting hatred of Muslims, and says he criticizes Islam because it's an ideology that rejects Western values. He says it is not a crime to state what many Dutch voters believe. Enait said Dutch Muslims have suffered tangible damage as a result of Wilders' repeated negative remarks about Islam. He said there are countless incidences of "children being cursed at while they walk. Stories from women ... who are spit upon, mocked because they wear headscarves." more from this source...
In an interview with Haaretz, Geert Wilders said he is considering forming an alliance with Belgium's far-right Vlaams Belang party, he has hitherto shunned. Belgian Jews also shunned Vlaams Belang.
Dutch Extreme Right Political Parties; The Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest VB) succeeded the Vlaams Blok after the latter was forced to disband in 2004 following a Belgian court's decision that it was racist and outside the bounds of legal public discourse see (ASW 2004).
After toning down some of the Blok's extremist anti-immigrant and Holocaust denial rhetoric, the VB won significant percentages of the vote in Flanders. Despite its demonstrations of solidarity with the Jewish community since the creation of the AEL and its more moderate tone in relation to the Holocaust and the Jews in general, the VB continues to retain ties with small neo-fascist and antisemitic groups, such as Voorpost, Were Di and the Vlaamse Militanten Orde (VMO).
Vlaams Belang says one thing to the Dutch Press and then alligns itself with Neo-Nazi facist groups like ITS and Voorpost. The Vlaams Belang (VB) is one of the founders of the Identity, Tradition and Sovereignty (ITS), a racist and antisemitic group formed in the European Parliament in January 2007.
ITS members include the French National Front and Romania's Greater Romania Party, (Holocaust denial ) among others. The Greater Romania Party (PRM) is a Romanian ultra-nationalist political party, led by Corneliu Vadim Tudor.
The party is sometimes referred to in English as the Great Romania Party. It promotes strongly nationalist policies and is seen as the most ultra right-wing of the major Romanian parties. The party's philosophy has often been characterized as xenophobic, anti-ethnic Hungarian, anti-Roma, homophobic, Antisemitic, and irredentist. Bruno Gollnisch, MEP is the leader of the European parliamentary group Identity, Tradition and Sovereignty .

Quick update.
As I'm sure you know, CWA recently had a software upgrade and it's prohibiting CrewBuddy from syncing. I've identified the changes, but it's taking substantially more coding to accommodate the changes in CWA. I'm working as fast as I can to get it back up and running for you guys. Hang in there. I'll have it fixed soon.
Robert Stokes
Okay! I finished building the update to accommodate all the changes they made to CWA. I've submitted it to Apple for approval and requested an expedited review. As soon as they approve it, you'll be able to download it.
Hello everyone!
The new update is available from the App Store for download now! It will fix the syncing problem that CWA caused for all the flight attendants.
I apologize that it took me 4 days to fix it and make the update available. Thank you so much for hanging in there and for your patience! Hopefully next time they will give me notice before they change something that drastic!
Hi Wendy,
I'm sorry for the problem. SWA is having a lot of difficulty with CWA right now. They've been trying to reboot servers to fix the problem, but if they reboot a server while you're syncing, it will stall the sync process.
Unfortunately, all we can do is wait until they fix CWA.
Hi Arthur,
I'll write you back personally to get this one figured out.
Hi Carolyn,
I'm happy to hep, but I'm not sure what you're asking. What can I help you with?
I guess it doesn't matter I just paid for it again and got it to print out.
Hi Carolyn. I sent you a private message.

I am at 33 pounds weight loss. The Fat Burning Machine has given me a program for a lifestyle I can sustain and still enjoy life. I like the stepped approach. I know this program works as I was loosing 1 to 1 1/2 pounds a week. I also stopped chewing tums for heartburn. If I stay away from simple carbohydrates and sugars I do not have the arthritis pain in back and hands. I like the miracle repeat intervals. I do them riding my bike to the gym and hiking up hills….Read More »

Play-Asia is doing a preorder for Cursed Castilla for the Vita. Sign up for the preorder is on their website right meow.
Ordered. Got the PS4 release for a friend's birthday present, so it'll be nice to check this one out for myself.
Demon Gaze 2 comes out today, I guess? Fuck, I've barely scratched the surface on Marky Skelter...plus Summon Night 6....headsplode
Same here, my order of DG2 and SN6 came in, but I haven't even opened Bad Apple Wars or Gundam.
Who else is playing Mary Skelter?
Totally stuck on chapter 2. You beat a mini boss then you get Thumbalina in your party and have to fight the nightmare of the graveyard...twice. WTF? What am I missing here? This seems unusually difficult.
I can get past the first iteration of the dungeons nightmare. But the second form destroys me. I feel like I've sufficiently grinded too. Ugh. This is not cool considering Demon Gaze 2 is sitting here, wondering "why are you playing that game when you have me?!?!"

I haven't picked up MS, but spike in difficulty is BS in rpg design.
I really liked the first Demon Gaze - ended up playing through it twice. Probably going to get the second one eventually. I'm pretty much over buying Vita games on launch day, since they all seem to drop in price in a month or two now.
Got my physical copy of Axiom Verge in the mail today. Looking forward to checking out the included documentary.
I see there is a bunch of Demon Gaze II free DLC on PSN too. Be sure to snag them if that's your thing.
I was speaking more about the retail games readily available on Amazon or Gamestop. Yeah, the LRG and the limited edition stuff is never cheap.
Needs to be emulated, only way ill ever try it.

A man is a philosopher of genius only when he succeeds in transmuting the primitive and wholly natural vision into an abstract idea belonging to the common stock of consciousness.
Anyone else played Tokyo Tattoo Girls? It's really odd, plays like a mobile resource manager game, but strangely engaging. Trophies for it won't sync for some reason.
Gah, LRG is killing me with this Windjammers CE
I can only hope that my trigger finger is quick enough to snag one of those, a reg copy, and Claire (which looks great!). Some really good games on the way this Friday!
I am skipping the WJ CE. Their CEs have been terrible so I just want the game and skip the expensive cardboard box, cd and frisbee.
Yeah, the more I thought about it this week, the more I gravitated towards passing on the CE. I'm definitely going to stick to the reg. edition; that $35 extra pays for Claire and shipping.

I hope I have inspired someone to join the ALS familyLarry S. New Llano, Louisiana
With today being the last day of MAY ALS AWARENESS Month (2014) during the month I have been looking back on the year 2011. I would like to share with you in a few words about my experience with ALS. Long story short. I was in Kuwait when I first notice a change in my voice. Then I went to Afghanistan and my voice continued to get worse. I had other symptoms of sickness. I came home on Jan 2, 2011. My voice continued to get worse to the point I could only speak a couple of words at a time. I could not speak in sentences. I could not form words. I lost my voice on March 6, 2011. This started what my wife and I call the "Silent Journey." All of the other symptoms were getting worse, chewing, swallowing, chocking, cramps in my legs, feet, and hands. After several days I could get a low whisper out a little or a grunt. I went to several ENT doctors, Voice Spec, Vocal Cord Spec but to no avail. They did not understand why my voice went away. My family doctor sent me to see a neurologist. On July 29, 2011, I went to see a neurologist. After a thorough examination he told my wife (Nancy) and I that he thought I had Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) but would not confirm until all the tests were done. He said there were symptoms of ALS. He wanted me to have a EMG/NCV and some other tests. We were shocked; We never expected a report like this. We couldn't believe it. The doctor left the room after he gave us the information. I tried to tell Nancy not too worried for everything would be ok. We had to put all of our trust in the Lord. We did not want to get so wrap up in this negative report until all the tests were done. I left a message with the doctor, God heals negative reports, God can heal my tongue, and Lord's Will, my tongue will be healed. Lords Will, God will heal the ALS symptoms. Lord's Will, I will talk again. As we drove back home we cried some, and it was very quiet. We went home and went online to read about ALS. Everything we read was negative. Since I could not talk about it made it very hard on us. But we manage with the help of the Lord. I would write notes as much as my hands allowed me too and move my head up and down or sideways for yes or no. On Aug 4, 2011, day before my 65th birthday, I went to have all the tests done. As I drove their I prayed, Lord, if it is your will that I have ALS, I ask you Lord to give my wife and I the strength to accept it. I had several tests done to include EMG/NCV. Later that day, I was diagnosed/confirmed with Bulbar ALS Onset. My ALS Journey started. The doctor told us that the ALS started in my tongue. At this point I was treated as a ALS patient. I was put on RiIutek ALS medicine. I was schedule for rehab. I felt like my life was falling apart. My wife and I were shocked and devastated with the terrible news. I was told that I would never talk again and as the disease progressed I would eventually be in a wheelchair. I will never forget leaving the neurologist's office. There were so many things going through my mind. There was so much I wanted to say but could not share with my wife because I could not talk. I was so worried about my wife and family. This was going to be such a burden on my family, especially my wife. but I know that sometimes God will allow things on us but He will always be there to help bring us through it. This was a test of faith. Everything that happens to us is a test of faith. As I was driving back home, I cried out to the Lord, have mercy on me, heal me Lord of ALS and give my voice back. I will surrender and give you my all. I will live my life for you. I started rehab. About three months later, the ALS symptoms got worse. I was provided a Dynavox Vmax+ with Eyemax System to communicate with my eyes. The ALS symptoms was muscles weakness in my legs, feet, hands, cramping in my legs, feet and hands, the cramping was so extremely painful, I would try to stand and walk it out, the muscles was so tight, then I began to fall at times, twitching in my right arm, problems with eating, chewing, swallowing, chocking, my jaws got tired, energy level decreased, tremors in my tongue, wavy tongue, and it got to a point I could not hold anything in my hands, doing simple things with my hands became a problem. With all the negative information we had about ALS, prognosis 2-5 years, I never lost the determination, dedication and courage to overcome these circumstances. Later on, miracles started to happen, slowly the ALS symptoms was improving. On December 13, 2011, I had my third visit with the doctors and speech therapist. This was the worse visit out of the three for I could not even make a sound. During the therapy I had to stay in prayer constantly. Only because of God's Grace and Mercy I was healed of Bulbar ALS Onset and on December 13, 2011, Jesus touched my voice and healed it. I talked for the first time in 10 months. This was truly divine intervention. I am completely healed of ALS symptoms, Bulbar ALS Onset and my voice is good. I am so blessed to have been healed of Bulbar ALS Onset, ALS symptoms, able to talk again. I was told several times that morning of Dec 13,2011, there was nothing else could be done for me. I was not ready to give up. I was not going to give up. I would never give up. My wife and I just kept praying. There were several times that morning that I stopped the therapy and prayed. I say to you, God can heal ALS. It is the Lord's Will for everyone to be healed. Whatever God's Will is for your life. God chose you for a reason and purpose. God has a plan for everyone. God allowed this disease on you for a reason and purpose. God will give you the strength and courage to travel the journey. God will be glorified for this. What God did for me, he can do for you. I tell you, never give up, never give up, keep believing, keep praying, focus on God's word, put all your faith and trust in God. If you don't quit. God will never quit. Jesus is the Healer... The doctors and medicine could not heal me. JUST JESUS. JUST JESUS. I give all the glory to God. Praise God. Praise God in the good times. Praise God in the bad times. Jesus loves you & family. What God allows on you, he will help you through it. There were times that I didn't know if I was going to make it through. God gave me the strength and courage to make it through. I would not have made it without God in my life. I had to go through this disease, suffering, to be the person the Lord wanted me to be... My theme" Matthew 19:26; With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible! Through it all-God will make a way! God bless you & family. I am so blessed to have been healed of Bulbar ALS Onset, ALS symptoms and able to talk again. God healed me for a reason and purpose. There has been a lot done to bring ALS AWARENESS BUT there is a lot more to be done. I choose to do fundraisers and bring ALS Awareness in my community and where ever I go. We must get the word out about ALS AWARENESS. Whatever I can do, I am willing. ALS is very dear to my heart. We need to support PALS (Person with ALS) and families to help spreading awareness about this disease! God has called me to reach out to pALS and Families. We will not give up until a cure is found. We are praying for God to send a cure and treatment for ALS soon. I believe a cure and treatment for ALS is coming soon. God is in control. I choose to be positive, hopeful, to advocate, until we can see a world without ALS. I hope I have inspired someone to join the ALS family, ALS Association, in praying and fighting, and walking to defeat ALS. With God's help, we will win! ALS will be defeated! There is VICTORY IN JESUS!
Help spread awareness.

The researchers working on this project argue that English cultural communities in North America have been largely ignored by traditional historians who have long taken the view that the English assimilate into the local culture without any need to overtly express a separate English ethnicity. Initial research has found that the English were distinctly aware of being an ethnic group within emerging settlements on the continent. The project intends to take a fresh look at English ethnicity using a vast variety of untapped sources, including manuscripts and newspaper articles from this period.
