Alpha 11 updates!!!

Alpha 11 updates!!!
So that you don't have to look around for information on all of the Alpha 11 updates, I will bring them all to you and post them here. Happy reading!!!
Block shapes! Well instead of programmed block shapes with coded in uv coordinates we now support fbx block shapes. What this does is allow us artists to make our own blocks. They also have the added benefit of rotations, so you can run your floor planks on a cube north and south, or east and west. Plus we can fix all the bad uvs on blocks and make lots more shapes. It also supports smoothing groups so we can have nice smooth shaded pillars and stuff. First thing on my list is to make some nicer stairs! Users should be able to make their own block shapes with any 3d program as well
Alpha 11 update! Using our new block shape importer, I made these new window plugs. I know they aren't anything special except for the fact that they are rendered like a block rather than a model which our other upgrading windows are made from which means these new ones render much faster. The old windows took several draw calls and you can have a bunch of these and it only takes one draw call.
So what does that mean? Well for some people's computers draw calls are the death of their precious frame rate. So we're taking a lot of stuff that doesn't really need to be a model and we're converting it to a block so the game runs way faster.
And we're making it so that every old broken piece of glass in the game can be upgraded to a window plug, and then a plug with one board, two boards, and finally three boards and probably a piece of scrap metal after that.
And before you rant why are you working on art when we don't have x feature or y bug isn't fixed yet, well this is my blog. I don't represent the whole team. But I do keep an eye on them so I'll spill the beans about what everyone is up to.
Chris changed the moon light so its controlled by a spectrum texture. This means I can make a purple and green moon now, not that I'd do such a thing, but a bright moon in the burnt forest doesn't make sense, so I can make the moon light much darker at night during a certain time, or all night, or make it a different color per biome to kind of simulate the fog and overall ambience of that biome.
Rick is working on more prefabs and designing lots of new systems. We've got a grocery store coming called Shamway that seems to have well SHAM products. So you can finally get all the sham and sham sandwiches you want because I know you guys can't get enough sham sandwiches.
Joe is hooking up the new ufps controller. It does loads of cool stuff like weapon bob, camera tilt, spring on weapons, a nice squish when you jump and hit the ground and it feels like a AAA shooter, nice and fluid. To make this even more exciting we've got new hands and the animation team is making brand new first person hand animations to go along with it. Nobody will every know this was an indy game when they get done
Chrisopher is working on the terrain shader so hopefully the terrain won't have any more hard edges where multiple materials meet. He also integrated steam chat or something like that, its a voice system to talk like the old one, but it actually works
Ryan is modeling decor for caves, like mushrooms, moss, cobwebs, stalactites, etc.
Joey is working on a feral zombie, I will post screens of it soon.
Eric is rocking out some nice sounds. He gave us four blunderbuss sounds and we liked all of them so much we decided to try making a weapon have random sounds and it plays one of them at random. It's pretty cool because something that shoots scrap metal and rocks might not sound exactly the same each shot.
Christian switched to steam networking. Hopefully its faster and no more connection problems!
And last but not least Robert is working hard on random gen 2.0. Not only do we have curving roads on hills but now we have perlin caves. They don't have any decor yet but the overall shape and the tunnels are looking great. And we've talked forever about having perlin worms for mining and its finally in. Yes we do actually do what we say we're going to, despite popular disbelief. So basically there are gravel tunnels inside caves which you mine out, revealing the soft creamy filling inside…or the ore deposits. It's a ton of fun mining out the gravel just like the old days except more natural and organic and the ore veins are little worms you dig out.
We're evaluating Unity 5 to see how much work it will be to get it working, so we tried out some speedtrees, I was running 2560 resolution and getting 60-80 fps with everything maxed, and these trees have 5-10x the polygons our old ones do. Pretty impressive.
Feral Zombies! This is the first of our zombie overhaul. With upcoming performance optimizations we have the overhead to improve some visuals so we are going to redo all the zombies and this nasty feral you do not want to run into! I doubt tumblr will do the images justice the detail on this model and skin is incredible. My big pimp hat is off to Joey for nailing this!
I'm just getting my feet wet with the speed tree tree editor so these trees are not final by any means and our specular component isn't even working yet, but I'm really impressed with how well they LOD and billboard. You don't really notice trees popping into billboards ever now, speedtree is just awesome.
I have the trees looking pretty good in the snow biome During runtime it's nearly impossible to see any LOD or switching to billboards, its very smooth. We're loving it.
Well in order to make an omelet you have to break some eggs. Now this isn't really fair, this is about the only place in the game that looks decent at the momentl. All of our buildings and objects have a coating of plastic on them or are black. Yeah Unity 5 is a beast, but we're getting it and its going to be really cool.
The coolest thing is the lighting, which I'm not properly showing in this screenshot. Basically reflections now probe your surroundings and show off real reflections, not some fake image like the old days. In order to do this we had to nuke the old sky system so we have a new one with a cool star field at night and a very nice horizon and the sunsets don't have the old orange flicker when you suddenly look at the sun, and a million other benefits.
We have to change or redo a lot of art but we're working double shifts to make it happen. It's going to be worth it, the few pieces of art we converted look incredible. In the meantime, enjoy the new juniper tree I put in the pine forest tonight. Oh and the new sky isn't using my biome spectrums yet, but it will, then everything will look more haunting and evil dead ish like before, but on steroids and stuff.
Here is a wasteland building, I got most of the textures on it upgraded to work with unity 5 today. We have ambient occlusion now on every texture, it basically doesn't let light into crevices so if you look close the bricks hold up better under direct light and even in the shadows they look better. Also its hard to see unless you look at the corrugated metal but now reflections on shiny surfaces show the surrounding world environment So the metal is reflecting the sky, and the granite on counter tops now reflects the walls and the stainless steel fridge reflects everything around it. It's pretty cool. When I was crouching in some grass my shotgun barrel reflected the grass onto it and when I was running down the road it was blue from the sky.
With the new physical based lighting you can see the shotgun barrel reflecting the sky, trees and even the ground below it. It looks great moving around in the game and adds much immersion. In the second shot you can see more of our new trees. There is so much to show now I feel like I'm unveiling the game for the first time all over again. Things are just starting to come together, I'm so excited to see it all finished.

Associate Professor of Management at Carlos III
University in Madrid, Spain.
My research studies the economic costs and benefits of human resource management (HRM) policies.
Faced with competitive pressure, organizations have increasingly introduced HRM practices that reward employees for their individual performance. In this endeavor they are confronted with numerous questions about how employees should be rewarded (paid/promoted), how jobs should be designed, and how reward policies should be combined with job design choices. Answers are not simple because economic incentives can be very powerful, but can also generate large distortions. Moreover, the HRM practices that companies have been introducing typically involve giving more autonomy to lower-level employees, which can have benefits in terms of flexibility but also costs due to loss of control. Choosing between alternative HRM practices thus requires understanding the relevant economic trade-offs, carefully recognizing the costs and benefits of the practices. Such is, broadly speaking, the main focus of my research.

Childcare has been a political flashpoint in Canada for decades, especially since 2006, when the incoming Conservatives canceled the proposed national childcare program and substituted a monthly family payment of $100 per child. Human Resources Minister Diane Finley caught flack for explaining that the Conservatives oppose any program that would "ensure that parents are forced to have other people raise their children."
Last October, the UN Committee on Rights of the Child called on Canada to provide free or affordable child care, as part of a report on its ten-year review of Canada's efforts to comply with the Convention on Rights of the Child. The Committee found Canada lacking, because of new punitive young offenders measures, inadequate services for aboriginal children and other minorities, and insufficient commitment to childcare.
In fact, child care is a human right, say the Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada (CCAAC) and the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of British Columbia (CCABC). Both of these non-profit organizations have been working for more than 25 years to advance child care as the cornerstone of a progressive family policy. They promote child care services that are publicly-funded, inclusive, high-quality, affordable and publicly-owned and operated.
Unfortunately, Canadian governments have not invested in a range of
quality early learning and care programs for Canada's children, although
the case for doing so has been made time and time again.
Most Canadians support public child care. A poll conducted by polling
firm Environics in October 2008 found that a strong majority of
Canadians, 77 percent (86 percent in Atlantic Canada), believe that the
lack of affordable child care is a serious issue. An even stronger
majority, 83 percent of Canadians (88 per cent of Atlantic Canadians)
believe that governments have an important role to play in helping
parents to meet their child care needs.
Child care is a right for a number of reasons. First of all, the
Canadian government has signed a number of international treaties that
say it is a right, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child
(CRC) and related General Comment #7, the Convention to Eliminate
Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Covenant on Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights.
As part of its examination of how well Canada meets its treaty
obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the
committee also consulted with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to
verify the accuracy of the information being provided by government. The
CCAAC and the CCABC submitted a brief called A Tale of Two Canadas to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child.
The UN Committee slammed Canada's lack of childcare policies and
infrastructure. "The Committee is concerned by the high cost of
child-care," said their report, "the lack of available places for
children, the absence of uniform training requirements for all
child-care staff and of standards of quality care. The Committee notes
that early childhood care and education continues to be inadequate for
children under four years of age and the Committee is concerned that the
majority of early childhood care and education services are provided by
private, for profit institutions, resulting in services being
unaffordable for most families."
Other report recommendations include:
Unfortunately, this is just the latest example of Canada's bad
reviews from the international community on its investment — or should I
say its non-investment — in children and families. Other unfavourable
reviews came from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) and UNICEF.
The Harper government seems headed for more conflict with the
international community over childcare. Regardless of its ideological
leanings, the Canadian government is still obliged to meet its treaty
obligations to its citizens under the international covenants that it
has signed.

Construction moving quickly at Roseburg Forest Products Headquarters
Construction is moving at a brisk pace at Roseburg Forest Product's new headquarters building in Springfield, Oregon. Exterior painting and interior installations are currently underway. Construction will be complete in August 2016. McKenzie Commercial Contractors is the general contractor.
Originally a furniture store and then the former headquarters for Northwest Community Credit Union, this extensive remodel by Roseburg Forest Products showcases Roseburg's extensive product line and include: 20,000 sf hardwood ceiling, exposed LVL joists, and AC plywood panels. DIRTT walls and their sleek, modern aesthetic were also used as a sharp contrast to the more utilitarian construction materials, and allow for the seamless integration of technology and for future flexibility as Roseburg's tech needs change over time.
Here are some before and and construction (in-process) shots of the space that illustrate the overall dramatic results of the remodel: a bold new face on the building, a lighter, brighter interior with connected work spaces and a refreshed material palette that reflects the RFP company culture and brand.

My name is Ryan Withrow and I'm the Vice President of Telecommunications at the Healthy Back Institute. With over 10 years of experience in marketing and $500,000,000+ in direct sales, I oversee all areas of inbound and outbound sales, on-boarding, training, maintenance and optimization. A natural self-motivator, I also strive to inspire a team to achieve performance goals and productivity metrics.
We are on a mission to change the way people think about health and fitness. And in the process, we're excited to help literally millions of people live pain free and in optimal health - safely and naturally.
Everything that happens at the Healthy Back Institute is rooted in our core values: Helping People, Trust, Service, Family and Being Great! These are the foundations of how we serve our customers, as well as how we treat each other. You can learn more about our Company Values here.
As a result of our efforts to change lives, we're experiencing tremendous growth and are in need of enthusiastic, highly skilled and experienced sales representatives who are passionate about helping people and delivering exceptional customer satisfaction.
Position Summary
This is an exciting, contracted (1099), virtual work from home position with all the freedoms and enjoyment you're looking for! As our next Inbound and Outbound Phone Sales Representative you will:
The Successful Candidate Must Have These Attributes / Skills / Knowledge:
One Word: Tenacity!
We want a phone sales agent who refuses to just do the "status quo" when it comes to the customer experience. You must always strive to go above and beyond what's expected. And anything you do must have a positive emotional impact on the receiver.
We are not your average company, our products and services are certainly not average, and we don't want our inbound and outbound sales representatives to be average. We expect every team member to deliver exceptional service.
The Ideal Candidate Will Also Have:
Compensation: Will vary based on experience level and qualifications. Range: $25,000 - $33,000 + Commission and Bonus Opportunities
I personally built my business on three core values: HONESTY, CLARITY and TRANSPARENCY. It is imperative that the sales representative we choose is comfortable enough to ensure that both the agent and the customer feel that the conversation was honest, clear and transparent.
Without one of those three values, that relationship cannot survive. We want a deep, emotional connection with each customer; and the way we get that long-lasting relationship is through honesty, clarity and transparency in every conversation.
Sales isn't for everyone. It's for driven, confident people who aren't afraid to get to know people, strive to help others reach their goals and constantly follow-up to create strong, healthy customer relationships. If you genuinely love people and understand how to turn sales into an experience and an experience into customer satisfaction, then this is the job for you.

Firefox OS falling into the OEM trap?
Marty Eich over on RootzWiki deals with an issue that I mentioned in my previous post--namely that "open" in the mobile OS space has so far mostly been implemented as "open" for handset makers and carriers but not for end-users. Marty points out is that Firefox OS might have started pursuing this model as well, and that makes him (and me) uncomfortable.
I understand that without manufacturer and carrier interest any new mobile OS will be dead in the water, but let's not lose sight of the need to have a platform that's open for the end user. The two don't have to be mutually exclusive!

The last day of the year.
The mess in the side room is almost cleaned out. Abby can at least reach a side of her easel. Sometimes I wonder why we carried all this junk around with us.
Scott did laundry today and so did the entire neighborhood. The Laundromat was packed. We've been home since the 26th and Abby had only four wet diapers. She's been waking up dry, and consistently using the potty while out. We're so close to no more diapers.
I guess I should write a New Year's resolution. Now that I think about it, I have a few. The first is to finally sit down and illustrate the children's book my mother wrote years ago. The second is to work on the top-secret project that Scott and I devised that will hopefully pay off huge. If I tell you what it is, you'd have to sign a paper saying you won't steal it. It's that big. The suspense is killer. Then lastly to continue running as a hobby to prove to Scott that he's wrong (I can keep a hobby for longer than three months!), and to tone up and stay fit.
I turned on our extremely loud external hard drive and pulled off a couple old photos. There's nothing like a good reminiscence at the end of the year. Abby's a darling and I just look puffy...

12" Vinyl D
Scntst Returns With His Second Single, Giving Us A Small Teaser Of His Upcoming Album
Sales Information:
Inspired by Jersey Club , Baltimore, Breaks and big room Techno - a fusioned version of all the good elements combined is to be found in Premelodic Structures. This time the Munich-based producer focuses more on track constructions than on melody as the title already implies. The first track Not Sure starts with a nostalgic voice You show me around? and turns into expressively techno composition with chopped up, dramatic synths. Da Bizzy Jump and Let U Go are two perfect examples of SCNTSTs eclectic style, where hes once more experimenting with Baltimore and Jersey Club kicks together with smart electro bass cuts. You know this kid has a knack for banger and literally lives up hisc name SCNTST". On the other hand youll find the 909-Kick driven track Rhyhtm Sticks. The result is a trappy percussion parade armed with a heavy sub-kick making it almost to an techno anthem. Obscure basslines, quirky ideas and strange sirens making Phisyq to an ultimate rhythm track. The last track on the EP Emotion is basically a suite in itself. Its overloaded with funeral synths and disapearing vocals. The deep UKG rooted sub-bass fits perfectly into the hollowing ambient and renders everything to a very profound track. Burial fans will definitely love this! [txt from ]

Modus, which premiered in the UK just before Christmas 2016, was a good-looking if underwhelming Swedish thriller that investigated the links between a Christian religious fundamentalist group in the US and a nutjob lone operative causing death and destruction in Sweden. Series two is just around the corner, and on top of Kim Cattrell's addition to the cast (she's playing the US president), two more American actors have joined the cast.
According to the Nöje website – via our friends scanoir.co.uk – Billy Campbell (who's currently starring in Canadian series, Cardinal) will play the president's husband, and Greg Wise will also join the likes of Melinda Kinnaman and Henrik Norlén.
Campbell says: "Dale is the president's husband and confidant, but their relationship has changed over the years. What binds them together is their daughter and a dark secret that they carried on for years. Filming in Sweden was a fantastic experience. I've liked Scandinavia for many years. I'm actually married to a Norwegian, and we live in Denmark now. When I worked with Modus in Stockholm felt like one more piece of the puzzle fell into place."
The second series of Modus is set to premiere in Sweden in the autumn.

Ugh! Stop taunting me, John!ReplyDelete
But otherwise, nice pictures! And I fully agree with you; I would also love to see some playsets with throne-like chairs. :)
I took some pics yesterday of my new dolls.ReplyDelete
I tied up Spectra's hair because it shows off her face better. I didn't use her jacket or Rochelle's wings because they couldn't sit down properly.
she is beautiful isn't she ? i really like apples doll !! i cant wait till they come to my area all though i hope they are not justice exclusives bc i don't have a justice around me... but i think im in love with the ashlynn hunter 2 pack as well ( they will probably be my favs )ReplyDeleteReplies
Apple basically owns my soul at the moment lol. She's the STAR of my doll collection (and she loves it!) ;) I'm so digging the 2-pack. Not big on Hunter but Ashlynn looks just about perfect. Did you see the new promo pic of their shoes? Ashlynn's heels are translucent, like her mother's glass slippers. They look beautiful. You can view the pic here: http://www.monsterhighdolls.com/forum/topics/ashlynn-and-hunter-teaserDelete
love the glass shoes so fitting for the character !! this 2 pack is really going to the top of my list fast !!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, I can't wait til it gets here. Considering how quickly the first four dolls started hitting shelves after their promo pics were revealed, I imagine it won't be long for the 2-pack now! Hunter has really grown on me, I have to say. If he were an MH doll he'd possibly be their best male yet.Delete
According to a Mattel salesperson I met at the inn I was staying at, the two-pack should already be out! Looks like I'll be getting my first male doll! I love love LOVE Apple, but mine isn't NEARLY as gorgeous as yours! Your Apple's hair is amazing! I spent like 30 minutes in the Justice store picking out the best looking dolls of the four, lets just say almost all of the dolls had messed up eyes! One bigger than the other or one higher or farther away than the other- even with all my inspecting, one of my Briar's eyes is STILL bigger than the other! Not too noticeable though, especially if I let some of her hair cover her big eye. But my Briar has a half-circle indentation surrounding one of her eyes, I don't know if I should get another or just stick with her...I also brushed her hair abit, probably shouldn't have done that because her hair has a bad texture now and is frizzy! I still love her though despite these flaws so I will probably stick with her. And yes, I love Disney's Snow White! I love all of the Disney Princesses! Forever a young girl at heart. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Great tip Helena! Hopefully we start hearing about people spotting the set in stores really soon. I don't know what's going on with Mattel and their QC -- they seriously need to get it together. People are really starting to get turned off by all the poorly manufactured dolls. :(Delete
what's wrong with them? :(Delete
Lately a *lot* of dolls have had problems with eyes that are uneven or out of alignment, hair that's thinly rooted or extremely dry and/or frizzy, clothes that aren't hemmed or have loose hems, and more. These are things that used to only happen occasionally but it seems like more and more dolls are hitting shelves with these problems. I think it has to do with the sheer amount of dolls being released. It seems like Mattel is relaxing somewhat on their quality control standards to get enough dolls on shelves to meet demand. And more and more people are noticing it. Hopefully they get whatever the problem is sorted soon -- I love the actual designs of most of the upcoming dolls, and I don't want them to be marred by wonky eyes or bad hair. :(Delete

We had a busy weekend here at the Brim after pulling out of one of the mildest January thaws in recent history. Though the phenomena is not new to us, it is not any less disappointing to our members and guests. I was looking for a particular archive I wanted to share with you from back in the early to mid eighties I believe, it was a newspaper article that told the story of a major January thaw that took most of our snow and left the club starting basically from scratch snow wise. Since that time we have greatly expanded our snow making system....which we can credit for bringing us back to the position we were in before the thaw in a much shorter time than back then. In my quick search for that article I came across this undated story...if you recognize the names you can likely estimate the year this story was first published...all I will say is that is was WELL before the eighties.
Sunday was a different day, rain overnight (even a thunder and lightening storm at 4am) followed by a rapid freeze up just as we were prepping to get the day started made for firm conditions to say the least. This change from warm to cold temperatures brought high winds across the property which spread limbs, debris and even brought down a tree. We were forced to keep the West chair closed for the entire day as a safety precaution monitoring wind conditions in hopes of getting it rolling. We apologize for the inconvenience and less than stellar day for skiing...but as many like to say out here at the Brim "Any day skiing is better than a day at work".
Let's not dwell on the weather, as I look out my window RIGHT NOW it is a TOTALLY different scene than yesterday. It's hard to explain to people the difference we can make in one day with good quality snow making weather....and that is what we had last night and today (and forecast for the foreseeable future). For that reason I'll switch to photos...because they tell a more convincing story than I ever could...don't be afraid to share these with all your non-believer friends! You may not have snow on your front lawn...but we have PILES of it on ours...
It's Monday, so we took advantage of a "non ski day" and loaded the snow making equipment up on our already "open" terrain to bring it back into fine shape,
Re-Surfacing Standard.
Building on Bambi.
Some perspective on the depth of the piles of new snow -Groomers pushing out the white gold.
Prettying up Pete's Elbow and Park Ave exit.
It looks as good in person.
Bunny Boulevard, note the natural snow falling.
Things are looking great, and this is after less than 24 hours of snow making! We are also making snow on other areas of the hill including the west property and FLYER. It's going to be a great week on the slopes of Brimacombe...come on out for some "down time"!
We celebrated the employment of one of our managers last night who has decided to accept an opportunity she could not refuse. After 15 seasons with us Lift Staff Manager Kassie Glasbergen sets out on a new year round employment adventure at the end of this week. It was tough but we managed to surprise her with a going away party after the gates closed to the public...
Kassie's influence will leave a lasting impression for years to come here at Brimacombe. Her energy and passion for the hill has helped us shape our "culture" since her first day loading the lifts. You will no doubt see her around because rarely does anyone ever REALLY leave Brimacombe. Be sure to thank her for everything she has done for us, she deserves it!
Not only are the snow making guns pumping out the snow....and I finish up here, so are the skies.
See you on the slopes,

Defamatory Remarks and Opinions
As I was reading an article from the NY Times about the rising number of companies that are taking people to court over criticism posted online. One example mentioned in the article is about a towing company who sued for $750,000 worth of damages by a man whose car's towed by the company even though he had a permit for the car. The company claimed that the permit was not visible. Out of frustration (and revenge?), the man then created a Facebook page for disliking the company (the company name was mentioned specifically), which quickly drew 800 fans. He said he only just posted the facts.
So does an individual have a right to post this kind of information publicly online? Is this kind of information protected by free speech? Is this legally viewed as defamatory? I was curious, so I took a look at several definitions of defamation and related words (e.g. defamatory, defame, etc.). Note: I am no legal expert and do not offer any legal advice–this is just my curiosity.
This is what I gathered from the Oxford English Dictionary, Encyclopedia Britannica, Encyclopedic Dictionary of International Law, and Wikipedia. Wikipedia had the most rounded definition:
Defamation—also called calumny, vilification, slander (for transitory statements), and libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)—is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation a negative image. It is usually, but not always,[1] a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant).
Basically, most defamation cases involve false claims, but not always. They tends to be based on the account of something that is not true or did not happen. If you make up something about an individual or a company that didn't happen, you could be found liable for money damages–reputations are easily damaged & hard to repair.
So can you post your experiences online for others to read? Is it legally permissible to post just the facts of an event? Sometimes it might be, but in this age of technology it is hard to take back something you post online, especially once it becomes published publicly. Common sense says keep your opinions to yourself. However, sometimes customers are prompted for reviews and feedback similar to Amazon's product review service. In these cases, it should be okay to post your opinion. The outfit that hosts the reviews (e.g. Amazon) would be liable for any money damages a company made by the review. Hopefully, the reviewer tells the truth–one never knows!
Partially as an experiment (but also out of frustration), I posted a review of some poor customer service I received from a computer software company. I didn't expect anyone to read my post, especially someone from the "offending" company. However, within a few days, I received a response through my blog from a company employee who provided advice & publicly apologized (I was very impressed with the response & how the employee took the time to address my needs even when she didn't need to–hats of to this company for this proactive approach.). I also received a comment on my blog from someone six months later who had a similar experience with this company. This was another result that I wasn't anticipating.
What I find interesting from the NY Times article is how the company and the individual settle out of court. The individual took back his words and the company dropped the law suit. I couldn't tell if he removed his comments from Facebook, and deleted the Facebook page he created or turned it over to someone else.
Why not approach the company to resolve the differences off-line, assuming they are willing to listen? Then let's say that you post a true account on Facebook that ruins the business' reputation and puts them out of business. This was not your intent, but it is too late to take back your words. The company employs several people and they need to find new jobs, and the owner of this business never knew anything of the happenings until it was too late. How about if you were the owner of the business? Does the shoe still fit?
The moral of this is to be thoughtful about what you post online. Sure you can post what ever you want online, but it has consequences. You may find that your words have a fair reaching effect, and may hold more negative consequences than you expect.

Carolyn Sessa Interview
When you do this for the length of time I have, you get to the point where it's hard to be "really excited" if a person says yes to an interview. Well when Carolyn Sessa said yes, I was really excited. In her question about what a potential sponsor gets, she says "looks, drive, and determination", add physique to that and that perfectly describes Carolyn. Oh, and we can add one more description, great at doing interviews. Carolyn did not disappoint and proved why I was so excited. She is about to begin prep for Team universe, and seeing her on stage makes attending that show worth it all by itself.
Q: First, Carolyn, I want to thank you for taking the time to do this.
A: It is my pleasure!
Q: Can you start out by telling a little about yourself.
A: Sure! I am an avid animal lover! I have two pit bulls that are my babies! I love to eat, workout, watch movies, and sing while driving. I live in Long Island or shall I say Strong Island with my wonderful hubby and train over at the East Coast Mecca, Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym! I am always upbeat and happy and I love to surround myself with positive people.
Q: Before the gym were you an especially athletic person? Play any sports or anything?
A: I wish I could say that I was a gymnast- I always wanted to do gymnastics... But no. I never really played any sports except in seventh grade when I was on the basket ball team. Although, around the age of nine, I had a great interest in working out! My older brother that I looked up to, had gotten a home gym and dumbbell set. So I used to go down into the basement and copy what he did. Mostly I just played around with the leg extensions... up until my mother said my legs look big and to stop using Anthony's (my brother) machines.
Q: What initially led you into the gym?
A: I needed parental consent for my first gym membership. It was Lucille Roberts, I think I was either thirteen or fourteen. I worked out in my bedroom every night after dinner with some dumbbells and an ab roller. After a while found it too limiting. I needed to have access to an actual gym with real equipment, treadmills, and classes. My motivation was that I wanted to look like Britney Spears!
Q: Was training something you picked up fairly easy? How long before you started to see results?
A" Yes, training came very easy to me. I remember doing bicep curls in my bedroom one day and I became so worried because veins were coming out of my arms during the set-- it actually grossed me out at the time Lol! Now I LOVE veins! I am not sure how long it took to see results, but I saw my arms and legs changing and gaining shape to them which only motivated me to go further!
Q: What made you decide to compete for the first time?
A: About seven years (when I knew nothing about this wonderful world of bodybuilding) I was sitting on the couch with my boyfriend (now my husband) and we were flipping through Flex magazine together. We came across a few pages that had all these girls in sparkling bikinis and bodies like I had never seen before! They put my Britney to shame. And I said, "Whoa, I want to look like that!" So I did some research about competing, got my license to be a personal trainer, and started getting my stuff together! It was a longer road than I thought- I trained and dieted about a year and a half until I stepped on stage for my first show.
Q: Is competing something your family and friends supported?
A: Initially my traditional Italian family grimaced when I had told them that I wanted to be a bodybuilder. They told me a woman should not have muscles and should be soft and beautiful. But my husband supported me and told me to just follow my dream. So I pressed on and competed. Guess what... my family is now counting the days until my next show-- they love what I am doing and my parents even have my competition photos on their phones so they can share them! My mother is my biggest fan and comes to every show with me... she is a huge help! I am so happy that now I have the support from my entire family... I would be able to do it with out them.
Q: Was competing what you expected or did anything surprise you about it?
A: Everything about competing surprised me! No matter how many people share their experiences with you there is nothing like living it! I couldn't believe how many coats of Pro Tan I needed, how many people were farting back stage, that I couldn't drink water for how long?! Competing is so much fun and I love dieting and everything that comes with our lifestyle-- it feels as though it my purpose.
Q: Can you share your contest history.
A: Oh boy, okay let me think back:
*2007- NPC NY Metropolitan- 1st light weight bodybuilding
*2007- NPC Eastern USA- 4th light weight bodybuilding
While prepping for the 2007 Easterns I was on the fence about doing bodybuilding or figure... I was going to do both but I was terrible walking in heels. I decided that it would be my last show before switching over to figure.
*2008- NPC Brooklyn Grand Prix- 1st & Overall-- I cried my eyes out!
*2008- NPC Eastern USA- 1st
*2009- NPC Atlantic City8 2nd
*2009- NPC Team Universe- 4th
Q: As far as body parts, what do you feel is your best one?
A: I think my triceps rock!
Q: Do you have a part you most like to train or favorite exercise?
A: I have a love hate relationship with legs! Some days I cannot wait to murder them and other days I just don't wanna do it! I really love to train glutes & shoulders as well! Lunges have become one of my favorite exercises... I never realized how many variations there are to them and I love what they have done for my glutes!
Q: What is your normal training routine and diet like and how do you alter it for contest prep?
A: As far as training goes I do shoulders and legs twice a week. I train arms and chest light, and I do "squeeze" workouts for back.
I keep cardio in the off-season 45 minute sessions, 6 days a week.
And as for diet I eat as clean as I can and give in to indulging twice a week! I have become addicted to Fage yogurt!
Once I start prepping there will be no more playing games! I follow a very strict diet which is high protein, low carb, low fat. Cardio will go up to 2-3 hours and I will have tunnel vision baby!
Q: When someone sees your physique or hears you compete for the first time, what is the most common reaction? More positive or negative?
A: People are usually shocked, and then proceed to ask a thousand questions. After explaining our lifestyle and what we do they tend to be highly impressed with the amount of dedication and devotion that we have for our sport.
Q: When they see it that first time, what is the one question or comment you are most sick of hearing?
A: Ugh, they usually ask if I can write them a diet and what they can do to get rid of their arm fat or love handles.
Q: What is the biggest misconception about women who train and compete or the one thing you wish people understood?
A: I wish that people knew how hard we all work, whether you are a bodybuilder, figure, fitness, or bikini competitor... we all work very hard.
Q: What is the best and worst part of training for you?
A: I cannot think of anything bad about training. I love to workout... it is one of the many things that make me happy and it makes me feel great about myself.
Q: Do you have any favorite competitors or any you admire?
A: Oh Yes! Bev Francis!!! Juliana Malacarne, Monica Brant, Zivile Raudoniene, Larrisa Reis and Cory Everson.
Q: Do you have a favorite cheat food?
A: Hmmm ya ready? Pizza, oatmeal cookies, frozen yogurt, Fage, swiss cheese omelet with home fries, chocolate, peanut butter, sweet potatoe fries, I love a huge salad with things in it like beans, sunflower seed, and roasted peppers.... and the list goes on and on! Of course not all at once :)
Q: If another woman told you she wanted to start training, what is the one piece of advice you would most want to give her?
A: Only listen to one person. Find a good coach that is well seasoned in the division you want to compete in and only follow their advice. If you take guidelines from everyone it will not be a recipe for success. One coach, one recipe, one outcome.
Q: Do you think it is becoming more common to see women working in the gym with the weights and not just doing cardio and things?
A: Possibly. I think many woman are starting to learn that you do not become monstrous from a little weight training.
Q: Outside of training, any other hobbies or activities you enjoy?
A: I just love having a great time! I love hanging out with my hubby, family and friends. I love dancing in my kitchen while I do housework and watching tv cuddled up with my hubby and my dogs. And with this crazy snow I really love driving my truck!
Q: Can you describe a typical day in the life of Carolyn Sessa.
A: Nothing is typical about my day! The only thing that I can promise is that I make it to the gym!
Q: Describe Carolyn Sessa in five words.
A: Happy, Honest, Loving, Charismatic, and Determined.
Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
A: I drive an army vehicle, the original Hummer! Humveeeeeeeee!
Q: Any set plans for the near future as far as competing or anything else?
A: I plan to begin dieting in a few weeks for Team Universe baby!! I cannot wait!
Q: Anything you want to take this opportunity to plug or promote?
A: I wish I had something to promote... hint, hint!
Q: Are you looking for sponsors? If so how can they reach you and what are they getting in Carolyn Sessa the athlete and competitor?
A: I would love a sponsor! I can be reached on Face Book. You get the looks, drive, and determination.
Q: Carolyn, again, I thank you for taking the time to do this. Any last words before you go?
A: It was definitely a joy to do this interview, I had fun and hope everyone enjoys it as well! Last words? Yeah Buddddy! I'll be back! Light weight

Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters was created by Toei specifically for the international markets. They had no intention of airing it on Japanese TV, though they still recorded dialogue for the whole thing for the benefit of said international markets. Then when Toriko crashed and burned for them they decided to put it on TV anyway, but in order to fit it into the timeslot they had, they had to cut it down from its original 69 episode run (which, by the way, is an utterly ridiculous number of episodes for the faster version of an arc that was originally 91 episodes, in an anime notorious for its padding. They hardly removed any of it), and so some episodes were combined, some episodes were cut, and they also took the chance to do some minor clean-up and music-changes and such. So no, the dubbers didn't add episodes. Toei simply provided other countries with a longer version of the show than what they themselves put out. And said longer version was the original in this case.
If they intended it for non-Japanese...why would they record the dialogue in Japanese, then?

Program introduction
Led by industry, the projects of CARIC's Aero-Connect Program aim to develop new relationships between the aerospace industry and academia through the new research collaborations. The Aero-Connect Program builds on the Engage Grants Program (EG or Engage) of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
The research for these projects can be carried out in universities and colleges. Aero-Connect Program projects last a maximum of six months and focus on technology that, at the beginning of the project, have a technology readiness level (TRL) from 1 to 4.
Eligibility criteria
To be eligible for the Aero-Connect Program, a project must meet the following criteria:
- One Canadian company involved in the project
- One university and/or college involved in the project
- Research centres can also participate as a third research partner
- No present or former connection between the researcher who submits a grant application and the company with the need that must be examined during the project
- Subject to availability of funds
- Any other requirement specified by NSERC
The funding recipients are universities, colleges and/or research centres.
Examples of eligible expenses:
- Salary of necessary staff for the research project (students, postdoctoral fellows, technical or professional assistance)
- Laboratory equipment and supplies, including the services of third-party providers
- Equipment or facility rental
Funding allocation
- Industry partners must make a minimum direct contribution (in-kind).
- Total public funding is typically supplied by CARIC (up to $10,000) for its members and by NSERC (up to $25,000).
Non-members benefit from CARIC program guidance and support services.
For a membership fee, SMEs receive certain competitive advantages from CARIC, making their integration into CARIC's network easier.
Project development in three stages
Stage 1: Proposal
Researchers from universities or colleges, in collaboration with their potential industrial partner.
Lead researchers complete NSERC's Engage Grants (EG) application, including the requested amount ($10,000 maximum) from CARIC in the expenditure rationale.
Lead researchers must submit their completed application to CARIC (email@example.com). CARIC verifies the eligibility of the requested expenses and the status of the partners. If the application is valid, CARIC sends a letter of support, confirming its financial commitment.
Stage 2: Application assessment process
To receive funding from CARIC, the application must be approved by NSERC.
Who submits the application?
The project's academic leader must submit the completed application to NSERC.
EG applications can be submitted NSERC year-round. This is also the case with EG funding through the Aero-Connect Program, subject to the availability of funds from CARIC.
NSERC confirmation timeframe
Within six weeks of submitting the application
Stage 3: Signing of the intellectual property agreement
Please consult the NSERC policy on intellectual property.

2060 Cyber Racer (Xbox 360) review
"2060 Cyber Racer openly credits the Racing Game Starter Kit, and as far as I can tell this R3dDr4g0n guy just changed some textures around to make the other guy's free game uglier, and then stuck a price tag on the end result. This appears to comply with the starter kit's user license and Microsoft's rules on Indie Games, so there's nothing "illegal" going on, but it's still pretty damn lazy and not the least bit innovative."

The Lakes Hostel welcomes Helen Christoffelsz to the role of activities co-ordinator.
The Lakes Hostel is putting a greater emphasis on improving resident's quality of life by giving residents meaningful and purposeful activities through their activities program.
Previous to this the Lakes Hostel ran a diversional therapy program which has always been an important part of the resident's day.
Helen leads the new activities program and is responsible for the annual and monthly plans.
"All staff are involved with the program and with volunteer support it is able to run on the days that I am not at work" said Helen
"We do such a wide variety of planned activities, these include bus outing, pet visits, exercises, word games, themed events, craft activities and visits from the school children."
The daily planned activities give residents an enthusiastic approach to their lives. "We provide excellent basic care, but this provides a more holistic approach by caring for their emotional wellbeing also."
The program boosts resident's self-esteem, and generates positivity making the residents increase their self-worth and have a sense of fulfilment at this time in their lives. "They need to have fun and laughter, as well they need to feel part of the community and society and not be forgotten about."
"The residents do still function well on many levels, we aim to draw out the best that they are able to achieve. I get such pleasure out of seeing their response to activities and enjoyment of the challenges".
"It is really about improving the residents' quality of life, the activities are designed to keep them on track cognitively and physically maintain their level of fitness and co-ordination."
"It is so important that we care about the resident's emotional wellbeing on top of the day to day care we provide."
Helen is looking for volunteers to assist the staff with running the program "An hour a week – an hour a fortnight whatever you can spare. It is so rewarding and not only are you improving the resident's quality of life you will have fun doing it and make new friends"
Information about volunteering is available on the EDMH website or you can contact the acting volunteer co-ordinator Debra Taylor 5585 9800.

Mathew Effect, and individual variation: Sociological take on aging
WHile printing some articles in Ellis, someone was printing the following paper. Found it interesting so thought Id save it for posterity.
Intracohort Differentiaion mathew effect
Dale Dannefer1
|University of Rochester, USA
Abstract Recent contributions of sociologists and others have brought a new awareness and new theoretical understanding of the extent to which human aging and life-course patterns are shaped by social conditions and influenced by social change. Yet the potential of many social processes to account for individual aging patterns remains untapped, because research and theory have focused heavily upon comparisons between cohorts rather than the internal differentiation of cohorts. This paper shows that focusing upon intracohort differentiation over the life course leads to a mobilization of sociological findings whose age-related implications have not been exploited. Using the phenomenon of aged heterogeneity as an illustrative case, it is suggested that intracohort differentiation—operating through macro-level, organizational, and micro-level processes—can explain significant phenomena of aging previously neglected by theory, or else assumed to be psychological in origin. These processes specify Merton's Matthew effect. Implications for biological aging and for research are briefly discussed.
