  1. Starting March 1st

    Hate to admit this: My round ended this weekend. 1. I ate a couple bites of ramen noodles (so gross!) and five pieces of tofu. Two hours later a large zit showed up. I don't know what triggered #don'tskipyourreintro 2. Also, I ate frozen yogurt. It didn't really appeal to me. I tasted it and it wasn't that good. Still ate the whole thing. Re-read a chapter in FFF about slips and regrets, and have learned from the experience. Guess what happened? That clearer (not completely clear, but clearer) skin is breaking out and inflamed. What I learned: My skin and I like eating whole, unprocessed foods. Keep up the great work March1st-ers!
  2. Starting March 1st

    Just in case anyone else on this thread is where I am, I read this post from a moderator in another thread: " . . . giving in to the cravings never diminishes the stress. . . " Thought I'd share since we're in the last week and cravings can get strong. . . . . And I'm over here, stressing about work, thinking about going back to my comfort drug (chocolate).
  3. Any tips for less smelly protein??

    @TryingOverHahaha @SugarcubeOD Hmm, even cold or room temp, it still smells. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Maybe I need to cook the things for a longer time period? I'll have to experiment.
  4. Need Motivation Day 20...

    @Colorado Girl It does get easier. At least for me, the thoughts of chocolate on Day 22 are a LOT less compared to the strong cravings on Day 7. If you can, I would tell you to stick with it. I know big picture this process is beneficial. It does feel tough in the moment though.
  5. Day 22 and Still Experiencing Cravings

    Found this thread because I am on Day 22 and would like to eat chocolate. Not a strong craving but I am beginning to wonder if my cravings will go away. If I know that they will not be gone in 8 days, can I just eat the chocolate now? (I mean I know I'm an adult and I can if I choose.) What are the benefits of sticking it out? I keep re-reading ISWF and FFF to get my head back in the game. One hour it works, the next my brain is telling me to just eat the chocolate. Also read about extinction burst. Recognizing that it really may just be my brain throwing a tantrum I purchased La Croix sparkling water (first time La Croix buyer) to get me through the "burst." Am I feeding the tantrum with sparkling water?
  6. And although I should not be eating at my desk, I do. I've been using beans, lentils, and split peas for my protein sources. The trouble is these things can smell not so nice (vegetables don't always smell nice either). Does anyone have any tips to reduce the smell? I can eat lunch away from my desk but breakfast is always at my desk. How can I avoid offending my coworkers with the smell?
  7. Starting March 1st

    @alcazn If you end up eating your lunch from home, just express how excited you are for your meal and leave it at that. No one needs to no you are doing a reset I've found I do best by following Whole30 advice to not advertise this to family and friends and let your results speak for themselves. @moosegirl Interesting. I'm not sleeping well either. Getting 6 to 7 hours and then I'm just awake. @Leekeetria Ah, good to know I'm not alone. Can't wait to celebrate with you (from afar)! Happy Day 22!
  8. Need Motivation Day 20...

    Hi! I'm on Day 20 and on the forums for motivation. Glad to know I'm not the only one at Day 20 wondering if the desire for sweets still. I'm totally full. The forums have been great to remind me to eat enough protein and fat. And it's not the Day 21 I'm-over-the-food feeling. I just still think about chocolate after meals and in between meals. Does this ever go away? The forums seem to point to feeling better on Days 27, 28, 29. So, I'm trying to convince myself to go one more week to feel it. @jgray15 Did it ever go away for you?
  9. Starting March 1st

    Good job not consuming the potentially unhealthy food! I, too, have realized how much I eat when not hungry. Yet, for some reason, I still want to. I had to do tea after breakfast and lunch today to avoid the chocolate. I'm so excited it's Day 20! Maybe I shouldn't be counting? It feels waaay more likely that I can complete the 30 days since there are only 10 days left. It's just 10 days, only one weekend. NSV that I don't really want to admit: My husband complemented my complexion this morning! My Whole30 goal is clear, radiant skin and I guess it's working. I don't want to admit it though because I was counting down the days until I would choose to eat chocolate again. Sigh. I may have to rethink that choice and give up chocolate . . .
  10. February 27 - Newbie Start Date!! Join!!!

    Quick google search. Maybe don't eat the corned beef @KJ Jackson: Sodium erythorbate is produced from sugars derived from different sources, such as beets, sugar cane, and corn.[6][7][8] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_erythorbate)
  11. Starting March 1st

    I second @AmyS and suggest more fat. Mix it up, it doesn't have to be three servings of one oil: try 1 serving of olive oil, plus a serving of macadamia nuts (if they agree with you), plus avocado. Also, a serving or two of potatoes or sweet potatoes could help.
  12. February 27 - Newbie Start Date!! Join!!!

    Hi. Found your post after searching "quit" on the forum. I'm only on Day 16 but totally there with you on the "any and all excuses". I've read that some people don't see the change they want until the last five days or two days. Trying to keep my goal NSV in mind to make it through 30 days. #itsnothardbutitshard Keep up the healthy choices! I made this the first week and loved it (I should actually make it again since I've been unsuccessful with mayo): http://karalydon.com/recipes/vegan-green-goddess-dressing/
  13. Starting March 1st

    Yes, it could just be your body adjusting. Hang in there.
  14. Starting March 1st

    It would be great if the temptation wasn't there but I feel like you get a double NSV with the temptation around. It's almost easy or cheating if the temptation wasn't there. The fact that you chose not to end your reset is HUGE! You are doing great! With your Thank you for the encouragement! I may want to give up and eat chocolate. But, you are right, the thought of making it 30 days helps me chose not to eat the sugar.
  15. First time Whole30er-Day 3- HELP!

    Fellow sugar addict here. On Day 16. @scma Not eating while I am working was/is my hardest thing, too. I'm so used to grazing on chocolate and candy while I'm at my desk. The strongest urges have subsided a bit but . . . @Hvalizan days 6 and 7 for me? Oh boy. I wanted to quit and eat chocolate so, so bad. I wanted to cry and actually shed a tear (so dramatic so just not eating chocolate, I know, just being honest). Again, the urges to eat sugar are not as strong but I still think about quitting everyday just so that I can eat chocolate and candy. @alakal is right, it's not hard (it feels hard but gets easier) and @TallGirlBabyFace is right, too, it's only 30 days (40, really). I keep reminding myself that the sugar will still be there at the end, if I still want it.

    A nice long article on Page 1 on Friday 4/25's WSJ. Discusses Apple (or should I say Steve Job's) efforts to refocus the company on digital entertainment.

    Nice tidbits about the music service coming next week. .99/song, $10/album. They've got artists that wouldn't allow their stuff on other download services. Stronger safegurads to prevent transferring songs from iPod to computer. Songs will be playable on only 3 macs.

    I good read if you have access. I'm sure it's on, as well.

    stronger safeguards for transferring from ipod to computer... i hope this only applies to AAC DRM "infected" files... i would hate it if i don't have the same flexbilitiy as i have now. well, not hate, but, be a little annoyed. still want one =)
  3. melchior macrumors 65816

    Nov 17, 2002
    $1 a song seems way too expensive.

    $10 an album and you never know, i might actually sign up for the service after all... especially if they have hard to find, out of print, independant labels, etc...

    then again, maybe i won't will wait and see. should be interesting.

    but, probably only available to US residents, you know, the rest of us are terrorists and all ;)

    I'd rather pay for one song that I wanted than waste $10-$15 on a CD that had a bunch of songs I didn't care about or would never listen to. I've been looking forward to something like this being nice and legal. I admit I was fascinated by Napster when it came out because of the peer to peer concept and also I could get recordings of weird stuff I can't find in a local "Record" store. (Hey, I grew up in the 70's and 80's I didn't get CD's till the late 80's). I never downloaded or used any of the Napster replacements because I was convicted that sharing files like that without proper compensation for the artists is stealing. I hope stuff available will be more than the modern stuff because I tend to like music that is tried and true. I'm in the the classics from the 60's, 70's and 80's. I also like Movie themes, parody songs and unusual stuff like Weird Al.

    I was wondering the same thing. I don't like the idea of having much of my music on CD's, and only part of my music collection on my computer, where there is no flexibility to play the music anywhere else except on my computer.

    it will be interesting to see if you will be able to burn the CDs with the downloadable music. I hope that you will be able to.

    Looking for a nylon/sport case for my 650 that is compact, and I can strap to an armband for workouts... anyone use one of these and have any experience with it?

    As far as I can tell, the antenna hole is on the wrong side, and they don't claim to fit the Treo 650, but the dimensions look about right. Thoughts?
  2. #2
    I have used many ripoffs cases for my various electronics and they are great. They are built very well and are padded on the front and back. The case is designed so the 650 goes in with the screen facing the belt clip, so actually the hole is on the right side.

    With regards to your other concern, the dimensions of the 600 and 650 are virtually identical so yes the 650 will fit fine.

Week 3 Predictions: AP Top 25

Posted: September 16, 2010 by Dan Condie in NCAA Football
Tags: , , , ,

Another weekend of college football is about to begin. To me, it really takes about 3-4 weeks for teams to start showing their true colors. Its hard to fluke that many in a row.

Week 2 was full of action, for some, taking the easy road (I’m lookin at you TCU), and there were even some ground shaking upsets. I impressed myself with a few of my picks last week (see TCU, Texas, Oregon, and Arkansas) and embarrassed by a few (Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and USC) but overall not too shabby.

With that, let’s get down to it shall we? Drum roll please…
Ladies and gentlemen, the 4th and 1 week 3 predictions.

Louisville at #25 Oregon State – OSU hasn’t played since their season opening loss to TCU and will have something to prove with having to go Boise State next week. Oregon State wins 38-21.

#23 Houston at UCLA – This one’s tough since Case Keenum is questionable for this game. UCLA hasn’t gone 0-3 to start a season since 1971 but they will this year. Houston 42-17.

Kent at #22 Penn State – Do I really need to explain this one? Penn State wins 35-10.

Maryland at #21 West Virginia – This is a tough one. This is a rivalry game and both teams enter 2-0. Maryland looks tough though and I think their defense wins it. Maryland 17-13.

UMass at #20 Michigan – Michigan gets a nice little cupcake for a job well done against Notre Dame last week. Look for my man Denard Robinson to put up even better numbers this week. Michigan 49-14.

Wake Forest at #19 Stanford – Stanford broke into UCLA’s house last week and violated the Bruins 35-0. I expect the same, if not, better results offensively. Wake put up 54, albeit against Duke so Stanford won’t pitch a shutout again. Stanford 56-14.

#18 USC at Minnesota – Well, USC embarrassed me last week only sneaking by a horrid Virginia team and they’ll get theirs…but not this week. USC wins 38-10.

Clemson at #16 Auburn – Clemson has looked decent in their first 2 games but both were at home. Auburn wins 28-21.

Miss State at #15 LSU – MSST lost a close game to Auburn last week at home 14-17 but I think LSU’s defense will prove too much for them. LSU 31-10.

#14 Utah at New Mexico – Like last week, unfortunately for UNM, this will be a question of how much the Utes will win by. I’ll say Utah wins 59-6.

Furman at #13 South Carolina – SC is overrated but they won’t look it this week. South Carolina wins 30-3.

#12 Arkansas at Georgia – Georgia absolutely owns Arkansas going back to ’93. Assuming AJ Green returns this week, Georgia wins 28-27.

ASU at #11 Wisconsin – The Badgers will need to fix a lot of issues to be able to hang with ASU. Even though it is on the road, I say Arizona State takes it 21-20.

#10 Florida at Tennessee – Man! This will be game of the week. Tennessee is coming into this game after being utterly embarrassed last week by, then #7, Oregon last week. Florida hobbles into this game after a slightly better performance against USF last week than in their opener. I want to see Tennessee pull it off but i think, like last week, they’ll hang for the first half and fade. Florida 35-21.

#9 Iowa at #24 Arizona – This the only game that features 2 ranked teams and it couldn’t be less exciting. Both teams have played 2 cupcake games to get their 2-0 records. Iowa has allowed 14 points thus far and Arizona has allowed just 8. Iowa played both games at home and Arizona has gone road and home. Arizona edges Iowa 24-21.

#8 Nebraska at Wahington – Washington would be 2-0 entering this game had it not taken them till game 2 to get their offense firing. Nebraska brings a highly touted defense to the table, though, and will take this one 31-21.

Air Force at #7 Oklahoma – Oklahoma already had a near upset to a mid-major school (Utah State) in their opener and Air Force has never started stronger in recent memory. However, the Sooners are too talented through the air (no pun intended). Sooners win it 35-13.

#5 Texas at Texas Tech – I don’t know if you can call this a trap game for Texas but it sure isn’t going to be easy. If Texas sticks to their game, they should win 28-14.

Baylor at #4 TCU – This shouldn’t be as ugly as last week’s performance against Tennessee Tech by TCU but Baylor won’t have a good time in Ft. Worth Saturday. TCU rolls 35-7.

#3 Boise State at Wyoming – Wyoming should give Boise a fight. For how long? I don’t know. Boise wins convincingly 31-14.

Ohio at #2 Ohio State – Yikes. Just yikes. Most lopsided rivalry in the history of the world. Ohio State 50-6.

#1 Alabama at Duke – Duke can put up some offense…then again, so could Penn State supposedly. The Tide rolls again 42-6.

There ya have it. Leave your comments below on which games you think are way off or show some love for the ones you think are on the money.

What's New - Abstracts and Fun Colors

Fourth Ave. Pen and Ink - Abstract paper now available

Hello Friend.

I. Love. My. Job.

There is a quiet place in my home that I create and I always look forward to starting the day. It is so rewarding to make something. It is a challenge to make goodies that help other people with their creative endeavors. This week I sat down and made some fun designs and changed them into trending colors for Summer. The designs are totally abstract which is new to me but I am really liking them. I usually try to make a sample for the Etsy shop and I had fun digging through old photos and making this:

So yeah. This layout is super simple compared to a lot of scrappers' layouts but that is just how I roll. 😊 I also used some coordinating clipart to set the page up. Here is a look at the clipart.

As writers we all aspire to produce great literature. But what, precisely, does that mean? According to Merriam-Webster, one definition is: written works (such as poems, plays, and novels) that are considered to be very good and to have lasting importance.

It’s that last bit, about lasting importance, that carries the rub for contemporary writers. How old will we be when we see the physical evidence of that? Perhaps, if a writer is clever enough to produce high quality work in his or her twenties, by the time he or she is my age it might be clear. If he or she has won a Pulitzer or Nobel prize, for example. What about the late developers? Those who produce their best work in their middle years and then, sadly, die relatively young. They will never know.

Of course, there are those who claim the ability to make that judgement without waiting for posterity. Those who award the great literary prizes are chosen for their own widely acknowledged expertise as writers. Readers, on the other hand, may not share their opinion.

The long room of Trinity College Library, Dublin. Image via

Dublin has been chosen as a UNESCO ‘City of Literature’. On it’s website you are sure to find references to James Joyce and other Irish literary giants. Widely acknowledged as a writer of genius, it remains true to say that few people have read his works from beginning to end. Most general readers with whom I’ve discussed the subject admit having been unable to get beyond the first few pages of Ulysses.

It seems to me that the function of literature is to enable the reader to see some aspect of life through different eyes. To make him or her shake his or her head and say ‘Wow! That’s really opened my eyes’.

What is your favourite work of literary fiction? Why do you think it qualifies for that description of “having lasting significance?”

    My fave is The Lord of the Rings. The writing, the themes, and the story’s richness all give it lasting significance. I feel the same way about Gone with the Wind.

Don’t follow your dreams, create them.

My sweetest fluffbuns,

Have you ever felt like major change needed to come to your life or else each day passing by would not live up to your expectations and…basically, suck?

Maybe it’s just being a perfectionist.

Lately I feel so confronted with the realization that dreams and goals can slip through your fingers like a bug hiding in a crack in the wall when you were just about to whip its tiny ass (nasty little buggers).

It’s funny it surprised me, because to me, life is all about exploring your talents and try to be at your best. Yet I now realize that thinking about something you want to do isn’t really enough, because it doesn’t really get you anywhere. You need to plan, to work hard, to decide which choices to make if you want to achieve that one thing that is so dear to you.

In simpler words: you need reality to make your dreams come true.

If dreams we want to bring to life are stuck in our head, they’re nothing but a fantasy. Some are safe in our heads, some are dreams we enjoy having without feeling the pressure to do something with them in real life.

But when you want something really, really bad, to the point that you feel you could never be happy if you don’t achieve it, then you need to take action and work on that one dream. It will automatically put a smile on your face.

Everyone wants to achieve their goals so it would be hyphocrite to say that the road towards the goal is the most beautiful thing about it if you would never really achieve anything – but in a way, it’s part of it and without the road, there wouldn’t be a dream in the first place. Working on something does make you feel motivated and stronger, so the road towards your dream is also a worthy aspect.

So what I’m trying to say is that I wish for myself that I can find the belief and strength to go for the things I want to do.

I can only encourage you all to do the same.

Whether you feel scared, confused, doubtful or not good enough…Try to find a way to see yourself as a worthy person and with that confidence, the world will be at your feet. It’s not something which happens overnight, it’s a process in which you need to grow and it can be hard, exhausting and even painful sometimes, but the happiness you will find after a while, that pride and respect for yourself because of how hard you work will be yours eventually.

I always tell people to follow their dreams, but perhaps I need to rephrase. Don’t follow your dreams, but create them. Don’t chase your dreams, but catch them. Be exactly who you want to be, because when others disrespect you or hurt you, they are always the ones who are wrong, not you.

Let’s wish for our dreams to shine like stars and do things the right way, achieve our goals in a loving way.

xoxo Froe

Central Eastern European Tax Brochure 2017

This year’s publication summarizes, for the fifth time, the current taxation information of the countries in Central & Eastern Europe.

As before, our aim is to provide investors interested in the region with succinct reports on the taxation environment and to enable the comparison of some fundamental factors of competitiveness. The tax brochure was first published in 2013 with information on 15 countries, which has since increased to 19. In addition to the Visegrad countries, we present the tax environment of Greece, Russia, Ukraine, all of the successor states of Yugoslavia, as well as Albania and the Baltic states.

This 5th-year anniversary also provides an opportunity to review and evaluate the tendencies over the past half-decade.

I’ve probably been an atheist my whole life. I wasn’t really raised in a very religious way. I got baptized, and had my confirmation when I was 14 years old. But still, I didn’t really believe that stuff. Confirmation was basically for getting money from my family.

But that doesn’t mean I never prayed.

Two years ago, when I was 16 years old, my father died – not suddenly, but slowly, because of cancer. This was not a pleasant experience. He had had cancer before, it was thought to be gone, then there was another tumor in his brain. Which caused a stroke, he was brought to a hospital, and then there he was, unable to move properly, unable to speak properly, completely helpless – which is terrible, but it was even worse for him. He never wanted to be dependent on somebody. But now he was. He still was completely conscious, he knew what happened around him. He could hear us talk to him, but he couldn’t reply properly. I could see how frustrating that was for him. I remember how we tried to understand what he tried to tell us, but ultimately we didn’t seem to get it. He tried to write it down, but there was no way we could read it. I remember when he was trying to tell me and my brother something, but still, we weren’t able to understand him. But then there was something we did understand. “Ihr seid doch so dämlich, ihr seid doch so unglaublich dämlich”, which roughly translates to “you are so dumb, you are so incredibly dumb”. When you could have seen his face, you would know how frustrating this was for him. He was angry, either at himself, or at us, or at the cancer. He was unable to speak with us, unable to say last words, unable to give last advice.

His condition got worse, and I don’t even know how long it was until he died. One month? Two months? When it finally happened, it was a relief. For him, and for all of us.

Why am I telling you this?

This was the time when I prayed. I prayed for a cure, for the radiation therapy to work, even when he got to the hospice, I prayed for a miracle. I probably didn’t really believe in God, but you try everything out, you cling to every glimmer of hope there is, however remote.

A day before his death, there was a priest with him, and he received the last supper. I was not there myself, but I wonder what he might have said.
“You’re going to Heaven, to a better place”?

Or “Do not be afraid, God is waiting for you”?

Is this a comforting thought? Anyway, why is the way to enter Heaven so painful, why do you have to suffer for so long? Why not just make him die now, why not help my father? Why does God not care?

I think that this was the thing that made me realize that there is no God. Definitely not. And even if there is, then he is not someone to worship, but someone to be repulsed of.

Some days before his funeral, the priest of our small city who was going to hold the funeral sermon was at our home. She asked questions about him, about his life, about what to say about him. My mother told her, and at the funeral, the priest basically repeated what my mother told her. Of course she did, what else could she say? But that made it clear to me: This woman did not know my father at all. She had no idea about who he was. And still, she acted as if she knew him, as if she actually cared.

When, some day, I’m going to die, I don’t want some stranger to talk about me. I want my family and friends to do that, people, who actually knew me.

Religious people don’t have a satisfying answer about why God allows so much pain and suffering. Either they say that God works in mysterious ways, which is basically admitting that they don’t have a fucking clue, or that it’s part of God’s divine plan (You can’t help but to wonder why an all-powerful, all-knowing and all-loving creator of the universe is unable to develop a plan that doesn’t require hundreds of millions of people to die to function). My favorite: In our confirmation lessons we discussed the issue, and after some weeks, we came to the conclusion: everybody has to decide for himself. Yea, great. I’m feeling much better already.

So, about one and a half years later, I discovered the splendid Astrodicticum Simplex blog of Florian Freistetter, which is the most known German science blog. Through him, I came to discover the awesome videos of Edward Current and Non Stamp Collector, I discovered The Thinking Atheist (from which I have some awesome T-shirts), I discovered your blog, Pharyngula, and later the Freethoughtblogs with Camels with Hammers and The Digital Cuttlefish (Bishops, And Pawns and What Would An Atheist Do? are so amazing, thank you for them!). I came to know Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris, I bought God Is Not Great and The God Delusion, and through Florian Freistetter I discovered great science books (I can’t really name them all), and Carl Sagan and his Cosmos. These people showed me a lot about our world, and why it is so magnificent, and why it can be so without a god.

But I also discovered more unpleasant things. I discovered how women in Islamic countries are being treated, how atheists suffer from a lot of prejudice in America, what parents can do to children because of their religion, how there a people like Ken Ham who are able to ignore all evidence and live in their own illusory (6000 years old) world, and even teach these views on children. I read parts of the Bible and the Qu’ran, and found out that these are books filled with violence, far from being divinely inspired, written by God. I found out about just how ridiculous some religious beliefs are (two words: Noah’s Ark).
But the thing that probably shocked me most was Harold Camping. This man brought people (besides bringing them to give him all their possessions) to actually kill themselves. He inflicted a fear of something imaginary in them, so strong, they saw no other way to handle it but to kill themselves. And did he show any remorse? Far from it, he said that the 21st May 2011 was merely the date where humans on earth are to be judged, and the final end of the world is said to happen 5 months later, on 21st October, which is (from the time I write this) in exactly 12 days. I don’t have any hopes, we’re going to have the same thing again, that is, people willing giving up their whole life because of their immense faith, and people like Harold Camping who have no problem with exploiting this faith for their own benefit, walking over dead bodies, and just not giving a damn. And maybe he even isn’t just not giving a damn, maybe he thinks he’s doing something good. If he were real, his God would probably be proud of him.

That’s why I am an atheist, and why I oppose religion.

    I am so sorry to read about your father, cancer hurts more people than just those it kills. Thank you for sharing your story, having lost a parent to cancer I suspect I understand how hard this was to write.

    (Side note: I find these two sentences:

    I wasn’t really raised in a very religious way. I got baptized, and had my confirmation when I was 14 years old.

    Very difficult to reconcile.)

    (Side note: I find these two sentences:

    Very difficult to reconcile.)

    Why? I was the same. I was baptized and confirmed because my father is Catholic. He took me to church until my teens, and then gave me the choice as to if I wanted to continue to go with him. Sunday church with McDonald’s afterwards was pretty much the sum of religion I got as a kid. These ceremonies are more for the parents then for the child, at least for me. We didn’t say grace before meals, we didn’t pray every night, so I wouldn’t consider my upbringing “very” religious at all.

  3. says

    I wasn’t really raised in a very religious way. I got baptized, and had my confirmation when I was 14 years old.

    I grew up in Germany as well, and this quote totally applies to me too. Germany is very secular and people go through the motions of baptisms and confirmations mostly because of tradition. There are not as many overt atheists there compared to the US. Because religion doesn’t intrude into society and politics, most people don’t spend much time thinking about religion one way or another (although that changed after the child abuse scandals). I only became anti-religion and hardened in my atheism after I moved to North America and had many many “wtf is this???” moments listening to the news and finding out how many people here are biblical literalists and attempting to impose their religious views on society.

  4. dobbinriddle says

    I can relate to your story, especially the part about your father’s death. I lost my own father to cancer when I was 15. Even though I was raised in a moderate, weekly-church-attending family, I must have been somewhat of a realist. I don’t remember praying for a cure or a miracle. I do remember praying that his suffering would be over, praying that my father would die. And, in time, that prayer was “answered”.

    At the visitation, several people told me that god needed my father more than I needed him. In a way, those comments of the well-meaning church ladies were the beginning of my philosophical search and my road to atheism.

  5. redpanda says

    Broca’s strokes are really rough. In case any of you don’t know, the area of the brain that understands and interprets speech is different from the area that generates speech. If only the latter gets damaged (as it sounds to be the case here), then you can understand what’s going on and think clearly, but you can’t form words of your own to reply. What comes out is often a garbled, incoherent mess, if anything comes out at all. And as you see here, because it’s language and not simply speech, you can’t write your thoughts down either. I can’t imagine how frustrating that would be to be trapped in your own head like that.

  6. lizdamnit says

    Thank you for sharing your story, Andreas. I can understand how you must have felt, dealing with the tradition of religion at such a painful time. I always thought many of those platitudes like “a better place” were sort of like white noise, like one has to say something but noone ever knows what to say when watching a person pass. But they can be pretty hurtful to the family.

    Also, yeah, Camping….welcome to that particular horrorshow of American culture. He scares us US-ians, too, but sadly not enough of us. Anyway, great choice of reading/viewing materials (whoo! Sagan!) and welcome aboard :)

  7. Dhorvath, OM says

    Why? I was the same. I was baptized and confirmed because my father is Catholic. He took me to church until my teens

    How is that not being raised in a religious manner? I wasn’t raised in a very religious way, we had a tree and presents in December and chocolate eggs in the spring, and yet I can see that there was some religious trappings tied up in our secular family gatherings. To someone who never set foot in a church until my wife’s grandfather died and had a Catholic funeral, it mystifies me that anyone can think going to church regularly and performing church ceremonies isn’t very religious.

  8. echidna says

    I can’t really speak for Germany, and only for the Austria of my parent’s childhood. But going to church was incredibly normal, and for my mum in particular (without going into details) going to church was a statement that you were not Jewish or atheist. Literally, my mum’s life depended on it. Even long after WWII was over, it took a while for people to relax.
    I can guess that European countries have a long tradition of the feeling the importance of going to church regardless of belief. The inquisition started as a response to increasing secularision, as I understand it, and lasted many centuries.

  9. geocatherder says

    Andreas, I’m so sorry about your father. Cancer is a cruel, cruel, way to die. Cancer plus a stroke is just an added dollop of cruelty.

    My mother was a devout Catholic, and so we had a Catholic priest come to the funeral home and give the service. He didn’t know my mother at all (very large parish, only one priest) and he didn’t pretend to give a eulogy; all we heard about was how great God was and how she was in heaven now.

    I swore there would NOT be a repeat of such drivel for my father, who had grown up Lutheran but was not religious. So I swallowed my tears and wrote and gave my Dad’s eulogy. I’m really happy that I did; his funeral was a proper celebration of his life.

    If you want that for yourself, make sure your family and friends know about it! Otherwise you might end up with some fool speaking about you who doesn’t know you at all.

  10. cconti says

    Andreas, I too lost my father to cancer. I was much older but it wasn’t any easier. On top of everything, my father was in an Italian private clinic where he was refused morphine on account that “he may get addicted to it” (after he was given no more than 2 weeks to live. Laughable)

    I don’t think that someone praying at a time of great distress and loss should be either condemned or ridiculed by either the religious (see, he believes in go d after all) or the non-believer (you hypocrite, you should know it’s all fantasy).

    In other words, it is unfair to judge us when we are obviously impaired by fear stress or grief. That’s why Christopher Hitchens attitude was so heroic. I have been exactly where he was. I had an illness I was not suppose to beat and I wasted away for over 2 years. I was lucky and I survived and eventually thrived, but I had some very dark moments. I never prayed but I was tempted. Above all, I was able to appreciate the need the religious have to pray. I just knew that it was a one way call.

  11. says

    I found out about just how ridiculous some religious beliefs are (two words: Noah’s Ark).

    I had to laugh. Until I started using the internet I never imagined there were people who were childish enough to believe in that atrocity.

    Some religious beliefs? Is there a religious fantasy that isn’t ridculous?

  12. frankb says

    When my mother-in-law died I went with my wife to her home town for the funeral. We attended the visitation that was held the night before the funeral. Many friends and neighbors came and told wonderful stories about my wife’s mom. She was a nurse and helped many people with various ailments. She was a very giving person and all these testimonials were wonderful to hear. The funeral was a very dry recital of the usual script and the pastor’s inclusion of a few personal facts about this marvelous woman seemed like a hollow mockery of the evening before. Religion had nothing to contribute to the occasion. Fairy tales could not embellish what was real. Why give credit and praise to an imaginary being for what this woman accomplished with her sweat and tears. I hear and understand what Andreas has to say.

  13. concernedjoe says

    Very moving Andreas – thanks.

    Religion is a business. Essentially it exists because of children (e.g., bible school, parochial school, baptism, first communion, confirmation) and adult milestones (e.g., marriage, death). I am not saying these things per se rake in all the profits, just that they allow “the church” to maintain connection to the flock that otherwise would not be motivated to be attenders let alone contributors.

    What real value does religion add to a wedding? a sick bed? a funeral? Not shit and just shit – depending on your connotation.

    Some will jump to say – comfort and/or uplift. I say more than good friends and family?!? Come on!

    All things being equal (no “if you don’t get the last rites you will pay a penalty” allowed – that is coercion) – who do you (so called believers) want by your side when you are about to kick the bucket?

    A priest droning on about how great god is when you really wish you’d die or at least your one month of constipation end right then and there,

    Or a life long friend who can make you laugh and who WILL take care of the wife and kids in some tangible way when you are gone, and who if your constipation comes to a abrupt end during the visit would laugh and clean you up much like you did for them after a binge long ago in college.

    My point – humans- doing human things – with human empathy and human love – make life worth living and dying easier. And if one thinks otherwise – if all you have or want is a priest and god – well that is a sad state of affairs I’d say.

  14. mwitthoft says

    through Florian Freistetter I discovered great science books (I can’t really name them all)

    If you choose to name some of them, I shall be grateful for the recommendations.

  15. David Marjanović says

    *clenched-tentacle salute to Florian Freistetter whose blog I’ve been neglecting because scienceblogs.de posts are no longer shown on scienceblogs.com*

    How is that not being raised in a religious manner?

    It means that religion is confined to less than an hour per week. Complete compartmentalization.

    Even long after WWII was over, it took a while for people to relax.

    The beginning of the end for this kind of thing wasn’t 1945, it was 1968.

  16. sitalia says

    First of all, thank you all for the kind replies. You are awesome!

    Then I think I have to admit that I’m not sure if Monica’s (https://twitter.com/#!/Monicks – I’m sure you know her) last name actually is Salcedo. That quote is from her. Not sure why I think it is, I must have picked it up somewhere. I apologize for that. Now that I looked again, I can’t find her actual name anywhere. In the future, I’m not only going to be skeptical about gods, but last names, too ;-)

    @ Dhorvath: It is like some have already said: Baptism, Confirmation, that was about it. We went to church once a year at Christmas. I wouldn’t call that a religious upbringing.

    @ mwitthoft: I think it began with “How I killed Pluto” by Mike Brown. I also read “The Hidden Reality” by Brian Greene, “The Case for Mars” by Robert Zubrin, and “The Demon-haunted World” by Carl Sagan, and of course his “Cosmos”. Of the latter I’ve (yet) only seen the series, not actually read the book. On a related note, I’ve also read “The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal” by Christopher Moore and “Nation” by Terry Pratchett. I stumbled upon all of those through Florian. All of them are highly recommended, start with The Case for Mars (Given you’ve already read the Sagan books), I really loved this one! Just imagine, humankind’s start as a space faring species, with Mars as its first colony, turning it into a habitable, life-friendly place again. And all of this could start today.

    @ redpanda: That describes his condition perfectly. And I can’t imagine this either, but I saw it.

    Greetings from Germany,

    (And sorry for commenting on this so late.)

A Lovely Evening of Music and Laughter

Last Friday, October 24, 2014, my husband and I attended a production of “The Lads of Enchantment”, a local barbershop quartet chorus.  They performed for 45 minutes and did an admirable job of telling the story of a man’s Love through the years with songs from many eras and performers. Some of the songs included were Hello Mary Lou originally by Ricky Nelson, Silhouettes originally performed by The Rads (but I remember it done by Herman’s Hermits as well as Andy Griffith’s spoof), Mood Indigo by Duke Ellington, For the Longest Time by Billy Joel, Love Me Tender (an Elvis favorite) and ending with Shenandoah.  Added in the mix of the story was a little 6 year old girl who appeared at the beginning and at the end who garnered a lot of applause herself.

There were four featured quartets in the Chorus, 3 Nice Guys (I guess the other one, who did the base beat, must not be very nice – or maybe he’s nicer than the other three), The Boys of Enchantment (they were fabulous and got the biggest ovation), Critical Mass (a great name for a group in Los Alamos) and 4 Praise (they did a wonderful rendition of Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel.)

After the Intermission, it was time for their guest quartet, the 2010 International Quartet Champion, Storm Front. They came out wearing purple suits with lime green shirts (a trademark of theirs) and started performing immediately.  It was comedy and surprise for the rest of the evening. From silly antics where the shortest singer in the group is hidden by the other three to a rather inept magician (same man) and ending finally with them playing brass instruments (I want to say it was A Trumpeter’s Holiday but I’m not real sure about that.) All in all – I’m glad we went. It was time and money well spent.

  2. Actually they didn’t look too bad from the 9th row center of the auditorium. And I kind of like those colors anyway.

Rock On

While rock n roll imagery is nothing new, a new brand called Archive 1887 has some pretty rad tee shirts headed to a Barney’s near you. The brand is the brainchild of Sony Music and its in-house merchandising company, The Thread Shop. So how exactly is this different from say House of the Gods or any other band tee shirt in your closet? Well, Sony being Sony has never-before-seen photos and artwork dating back to 1887. A few of our friends like David Bowie, Janis Joplin and Santana are featured in the lineup.

The line launches in Barney’s New York next week and retails from $49 – $58. There are also a few add-ons, like a code placed on hangtags that can be used online to access a streaming playlist of the artist or a key sold with every tee that can be worn as a charm.

Pieces of FLARE

Spring 11: John Richmond, Jena Theo, Topshop Unique, Givenchy, House of Holland

One of my absolute favorite trends for Spring 11 is the comeback of the flared pant, for reasons none other than skinnies still dominating my wardrobe. Sure there are the big 70s and bohemian references which factor in, but the bottom line is that flared pants look great on just about everyone and the silhouette shift away from skinny comes at just the right time. And while retailers are getting into full Spring/Summer gear, the Fall runway collections are upon us and once again the flared pant makes an entrance..

FutureFive NZ - Check out this amazing speech software

Warning: This story was published more than a year ago.

Check out this amazing speech software

A UK company is aiming to revolutionise motion-capture and audio-driven animation with new "lip-synching” software.

As reported by Venture Beat, the newest technology from developers Speech Graphics can predict how the muscles of the human face will move when speaking, utilising an on-screen avatar to mouth the words automatically.

Because the tech relies only on audio input and uses a universal physics model, different tones, speech patterns and even languages are no issue.

Speech Graphics is comprised of Michael Berger and Dr Gregor Hofer, who between them have 20 years’ experience in speech technology and animation.

The pair say they created the technology due to the rising demand and cost of spoken words in story-driven video games – for example BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic, containing 260,000 lines of dialogue at a reported cost of $200 million.

Berger says their new development is even more realistic and accurate than motion capture.

"With our technology, we’re aiming for robust high quality, even better than what you can achieve with motion capture.”

And he might just be right. Although no games have been released using the lip-synch technology just yet, Dr Hofer revealed that a motion capture studio and a triple-A game developer have both taken the technology on board.

Speech Graphics will demo the software next month at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

Take a look at the video and let us know what you think below – world beater or flash in the pan?

FutureFive NZ - Knighthood for Apple design chief Jony Ive

Warning: This story was published more than a year ago.

Knighthood for Apple design chief Jony Ive

Jony Ive, the man responsible for leading Apple’s design team for the last 16 years, has been knighted in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

Princess Anne performed the ceremony, reportedly talking with Ive about her iPad in a brief chat afterwards.

Responsible for products like the iMac, MacBook Air, iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad, Sir Jonathan was regarded by the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs as a ‘spiritual partner’.

The 45-year-old was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) for services to design and enterprise.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph prior to the ceremony, Ive said he considered the knighthood ‘incredibly humbling’.

"All I’ve ever wanted to do is design and make,” Ive says.

"It’s what I love doing. It’s great if you can find what you love to do.”

Light, charming 1955 comedy about escaped cons on Devil's Island who help out a family of shopkeepers. Yeah, don't think hard about the plausibility of the story and enjoy the performances of Humphrey Bogart (who does nicely in a comic role), Peter Ustinov, and Aldo Ray as the convicts. Basil Rathbone, Leo G. Caroll, and Joan Bennett co-star. Directed by Michael Curtiz, who worked with Bogart on "Casablanca." Sort of remade in 1989 with Robert De Niro and Sean Penn.

7duffy May 29, 2015

Nice movie ... almost "Disney-esque'. Bogie carries the film, but he is ably supported by Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray, Leo G. Carroll & Basil Rathbone as his foil. Not Bogie's best, but that is pretty high standard. Still an amusing picture to watch with the family.

Mar 28, 2015

Rated 10/10.

Dec 27, 2014

What a great surprise. Didn't know it was a Christmas movie. Fun to see Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray and Peter Ustinov in a comedy. It's a musical ?? The three even sing a song in it.

Dec 25, 2014

fugitives from justice? WHAT EXACTLY DID THEY DO?

Jul 13, 2014

An unregarded classic comedy, fantastic acting by Bogart and Ustinov.

Gainesvillehomes – Chris Bohn’s Blog

December 2, 2007

Gainesville is a Great Place to Live!

University of FloridaUniversity of FloridaUniversity of FloridaGAINESVILLE IS  A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE!  If you or friends & family are planning a move to Gainesville, FL – I want to be your realtor. I love working with buyers, and will take excellent care of you every step of the way.    I specialize in residential real estate here in the Gainesville area.  You will want a professional buyers agent who knows the real estate market here in Gainesville.

There are so many different types of homes & condos in Gainesville and surrounding communities.  Homes can be very urban and yet within 10 minutes you can be on beautiful acreage with Grand Daddy Oaks.   So many different Florida lifestyles here! Our largest employers draw a large variety of clients coming to Gainesville.

Being a College Town, yes we have students coming each year. But, that can be under graduates to PHD’s.   Gainesville is proud to be home to a medical school, law school, vet school, dental school, along with many other colleges of engineering, construction etc…there can be a huge variety of students.

Gainesville is a great home for working professionals as well.  Our largest employers provide jobs such as the administrators and professors that work at the  University of Florida network.  Which we call it the “GATOR NATION”.   We also have a superb community college, Santa Fe Community College.

In addition to the University, another large reason that draws people to Gainesville is the medical network.  We have two large hospital networks.  SHANDS HOSPITAL and NORTH FLORIDA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER.  Both of these hospitals generate so many professional transfers to Gainesville. We also have a VA Hospital.

So if you know of anyone planning a move to Beautiful Gainesville, FL – please give me a call!  Let’s talk, as I want to know your WISH LIST.  Once I have a true, sincere understand of what you want…..I will find homes for you to review via email and be ready when you get here to preview homes.   Call or email me and I can mail you a relocation info package!

Month: November 2009

2012 UPDATE!

I am thrilled to announce that we just updated our LIVING PROPHECY page on our website! It was created to offer a holistic, accurate and inspiring take on the 2012 Synchronization – End of the Maya Long Count Calendar Cycle.

Please check it out and share the link with others:

This update has been a long time coming, and was definitely inspired by the recent 2012 disaster movie that was just released this November, Friday the 13th, on White Planetary Wizard day.

The 2012 movie is alerting hundreds of millions of people around the world about the Closing of the Cycle in 2012, but as can be expected, it is associating it with global cataclysm, fear, and the end of the world.

This is unfortunate, and as you will read on our new webpage, the Maya in Guatemala are very upset with all this distortion of the message of their ancient prophecy. They want the world to know the completion of their calendar cycle DOES NOT POINT TO THE END OF THE WORLD, and they wish for people to NOT BE AFRAID. You can find links to Shift of the Ages off of our site, which has recent videos from Maya Grandfather Don Alejandro explaining this in his own words.

The essence of the 2012 prophecy is not about doom and gloom, it is about transformation, renewal and re-birth. It is about us waking up to our true human potential; it is about us coming into our power as planetary citizens, conscious of our interdependence, working together in respect for all of life. It is about us changing paradigms so that our global culture can find a way to live in Harmony, with ourselves, each other and all of Nature. It is about us living from our Hearts. It is a calling for us to expand our perceptions, sense of reality, and context we place ourselves in and awaken to ourselves as galactic beings…
I could say so much more, but truly its all on the website!

We are excited about our new webpage because it gives us the opportunity to promote other websites, messengers, and organizations that we feel are also providing accurate and inspiring 2012 information. So on our new page, you’ll find lots of links to sites we feel are worthwhile to explore and support. We will continue adding to these resources as time unfolds.

The 2012 Hollywood movie is just the beginning. As we get closer to 2012, there will be more and more mis-information and distortion of the essence of the Mayan Prophecy, and you can expect more and more fear-based websites. We truly care about the collective consciousness and we want to continue to help be part of the solution. On that note, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Essentially, because our website has been around since 2002, and since we are a content-rich site, we have had a really high Google ranking. For example, before the movie came out, if you did a search on 2012, our Living Prophecy webpage came up #13. However, since the 2012 disaster movie has come out, we are getting bumped down  – by all the movie promotion and also the “fake” websites which they’ve designed to promote their movie and the whole fear-based doomsday enchilada… As of today, on Google our site now comes up #20 which is the last slot on the 2nd page.

We want people doing 2012 searches to find our site because we feel it provides an accurate, thorough, positive take on 2012. We feel strongly that it is important that people can read for themselves what the Maya Elders are saying, and can hear from someone like myself who has been studying this material for 15 years.

So, if you check out our page and feel aligned with helping us in this mission, there are 2 things you can do:

A) Please send this link to your networks:

B) If you have a website (or a blog or facebook, etc)
PLEASE POST A LINK TO OUR NEW PAGE! This will DIRECTLY help our google numbers.

The best way to help is for the link to read: “THE MAYAN PROPHECY OF 2012” and to have those words linked to the url:    (Just like we have on this page).

Or maybe you have friends who run websites that you feel they might like to include a link to our Prophecy page. EVERY EXTERNAL LINK HELPS!!!

Thank you for reading this, and for being part of this important movement to influence our collective consciousness; to antidote the doom and panic with higher vision and inspiration. We know we are all related and that we directly influence each other with our thoughts, feelings, intentions, actions – our vibrations. The more we can help emanate positive energies, the more it helps uplift the whole!

Please feel free to post comments and share your feedback of our new 2012 update,  as it is always a delight to hear from YOU!

From my humble, ancient Heart

Sony Connect To Hook Up With PlayStation Portable? 99

An anonymous reader writes "UK video game site C&VG has posted a story rumoring Sony's PlayStation Portable handheld game console will allow both music and games to be downloaded via the newly announced Sony Connect online download store. An industry source quoted in the article says: 'PSP is intended to be able to link up with Sony Connect to offer digital music for download, but the bigger deal is the plan to put PSP games up there for download eventually, too.' C&VG says this rumor, if true, shows 'Sony's alleged drive to ultimately cut-out retail and handle distribution of software itself' - we'll find out for sure next week at E3." Elsewhere, GamePro/Famitsu interviews leading Japanese PSP developers, with Atlus producer Hideyuki Yokoyama saying: "I expect downloads and fees to be the primary business model."

Sony Develops a Universal Game Console Controller 62

Go Rumors has discovered that Sony recently applied for a patent on a "universal game console controller." According to the patent filing, the controller "includes a hand-holdable housing and a touch sensitive liquid crystal display (LCD) on the housing. The LCD is caused to present, depending on what type of game console a user has selected, a controller key layout for a first type of game console or a controller key layout for a second type of game console. A key layout includes plural keys selectable by a user to input commands to a game console."

    Everbody says the same about these newly fangled "touch"screens and their inputschemes: Give me back my haptic feedback.

    As long as the screen does not press back I will suck at the input. I need some input from my fingertips to show me that I am over "the" or at least "a" button. If it's on a screen I have to look at the screen to see if my fingers are positioned correctly.

    Don't get me started on Sony last "new" input scheme, the Sixxaxis. In theory it's great, in reality the missing "weight" feedback destroys every immersion and fun in using the controller like e.g. a valve or a steering wheel.

    • Agreed. I've got a jailbroken iPhone but when I got it, the various retro emulators were USELESS because of the control scheme. I can't enjoy a game if I'm constantly looking away from it to make sure my fingers are over the right buttons.

      The day they made a homebrew Bluetooth stack and started added Wiimote support to the emulators was the day retro games (other than RPGs) became playable.

    Sony controllers have the worst layout, with the analog sticks in a horrible position, with a form meant for girly hands. They should just give up and use the 360 controller and replace the d-pad with the one from the NES, and there you go, the perfect console controller.

    • by Renraku ( 518261 )

      The only appreciable difference between the PS3 controller and the 360 controller is that the analog/digital location is switched. I do agree, though, that the 360 controller d-pad should be replaced with a Nintendo one. The current one feels about as awkward as the d-pad from the NES Max controller.

      • I like the Sixaxis, simply becasue ive been using that layout since PS1 and its comfortable to me, but when i first held the Xbox 360 controller, i said to myself "this is the final evolution of the form, anything else we add onto it will be tangential." I DO miss the on-controller screen from Dreamcast though, that was a stroke of genius.
    • by soupd ( 1099379 )
      I couldn't disagree more, I'm 6'2" with fairly big hands and the PlayStation controllers is way more comfortable, both for short and long-term play, than the 360 one. Though I guess if you have short thumbs for the thumbs sticks then it may be more of a problem.
    • by V50 ( 248015 )

      *Shrug* I personally prefer the PS3 controller (own both systems). The 360 controller still seems big and bulky to me, and the d-pad is pretty much worthless.

      The 360 one probably has a better layout, in theory, but for some reason (the two above don't fully answer it), I still prefer the PS3 controller. Not by a huge margin, but, yeah...

    • Everybody likes the same thing, huh? I much prefer the symmetrical layout and flatter profile of the PS3 controller. I just wish Sony would fix the rubbery triggers (and MS would fix the damn D-pad).

      What really annoys me, though, is that the aftermarket controllers all try to use the same basic design of the official controller. Why are there so few XBox-like controllers for the PS3, and so few PS-like controllers for the XBox? Surely such a crowded market would welcome another niche. Or, is the design

  • by Sycraft-fu ( 314770 ) on Saturday February 20, 2010 @03:24AM (#31208638)

    Part of the problem is tactile feedback, since you need to locate buttons by touch during a game. However I think durability might be an issue. People tend to be hard on their game controllers and I can't see a touch screen holding up to the same kind of abuse as buttons.

    I like the idea of a reconfigurable controller, I don't don't think we have good tech for it yet.

    When Nintendo announced their new console, they hinted that the way we use the controller will surprise us. Various amateur 3D concepts popped up around the net, and most of them displayed a Nintendo controller with a touch-controlled LCD display, controls would change depending on the game.

    Now we see Sony applying for a patent on the very same idea, a bunch of amateurs came up with in their free time few years ago.

    Obvious patent is obvious.

    • Not to mention that this has been done with TV controllers for, what, years ?...
      I already had an application to turn Palm PDAs into such controllers back in 2000.

      Damn right cos if you want to get more out of the PS3 you have to buy Sony HDDs, Sony memory and Sony bluetooth remote/headsets. Oh wait, no you don't, you can use anything you like.
  • I read "universal" as "works on all consoles." In which case, all modern controllers could already be considered universal. They all use USB and Bluetooth.
    • by soupd ( 1099379 )
      Are you sure? I know the PS3 controller is bluetooth but as far as I know the 360 controller uses a proprietary wireless technology. Furthermore, just because something connects over bluetooth or USB that does not mean a standard bluetooth or USB profile is being used.
      • by Khyber ( 864651 )

        360 uses a microsoft-rebadged form of bluetooth

          Any idea why? I'd like to use the PS3 controller with the 360, likewise I have friends who'd like to do the opposite. Given there are more similarities than differences, the fact you can't is somewhat annoying.
          • Money.....i mean really its that simple. Why let johnny use his Xbox controller on his PC that has bluetooth when we can charge him $20 for an official MS branded dongle? Microsoft lost their ass on Xbox 1, so they nickel and dime the shit out of you for everything on Xbox360.
  • I think a multi-play controller in general is a good idea, except I think they should just make it so all controllers work with everything. As for one I think it's retarded how despite the xbox controller & ps3 controller both having x, circle, triangle, square, r1/r2, l1/l2, dpad & 2 analog sticks they for no apparent reason 'Can't" work with the other console. Well obviously you'd need a bluetooth dongle for the ps3 ones with xbox but yeah...standard buttons should work together.. That way I coul

Apropos of Gaming: Noble Treachery (Board/Card/Dice game)

I have a co-worker, Jay Meyer. He designs games. He found out I had an RPG book coming out, and we started talking about his game play/game design group.

And then he went to Gen-Con, and got inspired.

Now he’s got a kickstarter:

I’m not a huge board game guy . . . but Jeffr0 is. I hooked those two up, and apparently they hit it off, and Jeff just posted his interview with Jay here.

Everyone should check it out. The Great Northern Games website is pretty good, and the 17 principles of game design bear thinking about even for dedicated RPG types.

Also please do check out his Kickstarter page – there has been a lot of good work and really fun/spectacular artwork, so while I recommend becoming a backer, I really recommend going over to check out what he created. It’s worth your time.

Congrats to Jay for launching the Kickstarter and for what looks like a great game. Spread this announcement around, because however we can boost the hobby, we should!

Ezio Auditore - Assassin's Creed Revelations

Just recently Ubisoft has released a ton of information surrounding the characters that will feature in Assassin’s Creed Revelations in the latest edition of Game Informer. Let’s take a look at those characters set to make an appearance in Constantinople in the final chapter of Ezio’s story arc.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze

As expected, Ezio will again be the main character, as he was in Assassin’s Creed II and Brotherhood. Up until revelations, Ezio’s path in life has been driven by the need to gain vengeance, first for the death of his immediate family and later his Uncle at the hands of the Borgias. For the first time, we will begin to see Ezio question his lot in life. In 1511, seeking purpose and direction, the head of assassin order heads to Constantinople to search for answers. He will look to his own ancestor, Altair to provide them.

Altair Ibn-La’Ahad

Altair is the main character of the original Assassin’s Creed and remains something of a mystery to us. Much of his life remains shrouded, including his early life and the discoveries that are mentioned in the codex in Assassin’s Creed II. Instead of Desmond directly accessing the memories of Altair, Ezio will encounter objects in the game world that will allow him to look back and experience Altair’s memories for himself. Ubisoft has promised that Assassin’s Creed fans will get a clear picture of what exactly Altair discovered centuries ago.

Manuel Palaeologos

A real life historical figure that may have once been an emperor had the Byzantine empire not been brought down by the rising tide of the Ottoman Empire. Without any political power that might have rightfully been his, Palaeologos ended up still being a wealthy man, living a a life indolent luxury. Within the Assassin’s Creed universe, Manuel Palaeologos still maintains some ties to the Byzantine remnants but he is also tied in mysterious ways to the ever present evil force that is the Templar Order.

Sofia Sorta

In Assassin’s Creed, one of the more prominent tools employed by Ubisoft is the representation of real life characters. Sofia Sorta, however, is the first character to be based upon a piece of art. For those playing at home, the painting entitled Potrait of a Young Venetian Woman by Albrecht Drurer, serves as the basis for Sorta’s character. Like Ezio, she transplanted to Constantinople from Italy, her purpose to help spread learning and knowledge to the people there. Sofia will reportedly serve as a love interest to Ezio.

Prince Suleiman

Historically minded readers will recognize the name, Suleiman the Magnificent is acclaimed for his forty year rule over the Ottoman empire during the height of it’s power. Budding assassins won’t be meeting the great leader that was, however, but rather a teenage (17 year old) Suleiman some nine years before he ascended to the throne. At the start of the game, his family is on the precipice of war to decide who will become the heir to the throne of the Ottomon empire. A young Suleiman is said to be intrigued by the philosophies and leadership qualities Ezio possesses.

Yusuf Tazim

Yusuf Tazim is the master assassin of Constantinople and as such, is in charge of the order there. Although Ezio is technically a higher rank than Yusuf, the two men are close companions and are friendly rivals. Ezio may bring a great deal of wisdom to the table for Constantinople’s assassins to learn from, it is however Tazim who introduces the Italian to the hook blade, a unique device that will change the way he fights and navigates the environment.

The Latest on Colored Mulches

By Charlie Nardozzi

The matching of a specific vegetable to a specific-colored plastic mulch is continuing. The different colors "fool" the plants into thinking they have more competition from other plants than they actually do, which makes them produce better. Recent research has matched tomato and strawberries with red mulch, peppers with silver mulch, summer squash and cucumbers with blue mulch, and melons with green mulch. Now herbs are getting into the act.

Researchers at the USDA Agricultural Research Service grew basil using mulches in six different colors. The leaves of plants mulched with red plastic were larger and more succulent, and had a greater fresh weight than those plants grown in black mulch. Basil plants grown in yellow and green mulch produced significantly higher concentrations of aromatic compounds than those grown in white and blue mulches.

For more on this colored plastic mulch research, go to: Agricultural Research Service Web page at

Thanks For The Apology Mr. Bezos… Still… You’ve Been Served

Thanks For The Apology Mr. Bezos... Still... You've Been Served

Kindle-gate exploded when Amazon remotely removed a number of books by George Orwell. At the time  I wondered what would happen to any notes taken on those various books if such a thing were to happen again. And although Jeff Bezos apologized for the action and promised to do better in the future, the question remained.

Well now we have an answer. A student was taking notes for an AP class and found that his notes remained. No problem right? Nope, big problem. It seems the pages referenced were left useless once the book was gone hence the notes themselves were useless too.

So what is the poor teen to do? Sue Amazon of course.
