Walter Griffin is shown galloping along in The Fox Chase on the back of Reuben, the white horse he bought for $4 to use as a model.
He was lured to Old Lyme from his home in Hartford during the early years of the colony by his good friends Allen B. Talcott and Childe Hassam.
Griffin came to Old Lyme as an Impressionist painter who mastered putting more than one color down with his brush at a time. He was one of the three artists who collaborated on a panel in the dining room. He is represented in the Knockers' Club crest with an image of a gryphon, the mythological animal that combines the body of a lion with the head and wings of an eagle.
His painting style was perfectly aligned with the colony's newfound interest in Impressionism. Griffin embraced the new style and had mastered his own "secret" approach to laying paint colors down on canvas. According to one of Griffin's close friends, the painter would not mix his colors on the palette, but rather pick up two colors on the same brush and mix them on the canvas — a difficult painting technique to master, but the effects were stunning. Griffin was an accomplished draftsman and produced impressionistic landcapes in pastels as well.
The son of a craftsman who carved figureheads for the great sailing ships in Maine, Griffin was surrounded by art and woodworking from an early age. His interest and talents were nurtured through art classes in Boston and New York where he befriended several of the artists who would later make Old Lyme famous, such as Childe Hassam and Willard Metcalf. Like the others, he traveled to Paris and studied at the École Des Beaux-Arts and exhibited at the Salon of 1889. He traveled into the French countryside and painted in the area known as Barbizon, the very place that inspired Henry Ward Ranger to seek out Old Lyme for his American Barbizon.
Despite Griffin's relatively late start with the colony, he settled in quite nicely. He becomes a member of the "Knockers' Club," the group of artists who would criticize or "knock" the work of the other painters (especially those who were not present). This club was made public by the creation of a fictional coat of arms that was painted on the brick over the fireplace opening in the dining room. Griffin is represented by the image of a gryphon, the mythical beast that combines the body of a lion with the wings and head of an eagle.
Griffin took impressionism—that playful, eye-tickling movement begun by the French artists—and turned it to meet his own end. Although his art is based on, and closely attuned to the French impressionist mode, his vocabulary is distinctively American.
The method is one difficult to employ, a heavy pigmentation, the pigment applied in rugous heaps, so thick as to supply an obvious third dimension, but separated by areas of bare canvas. With his masculine technique the artist manages to gain both resonance and purity of color, and a tone that throbs with vitality.
Directly across the dining room, Griffin is represented by an unusual painted panel. Unlike the other panels, Griffin works collaboratively with Henry Rankin Poore and Childe Hassam. This is the only panel to be created by more than one artist and diplomatically combines the talents of two staunch impressionists and one tonalist. The panel features a brown cow reclining in a field on the edge of a forest and shallow pond, but the specific authorship of any of the elements is undetermined. Griffin also completes a solo panel that is installed next to the collaboration piece.

Unit H1A regulates hunting opportunities for elk in South Dakota and covers 274 square miles. Public lands comprise 199 square miles (73%) of the total land covered by this hunt unit. The greater region is best serviced by Downtown Spearfish, and O'Neil Pass. The elevation of the region ranges from a low of 3,400 feet to a high of 7,000 feet above sea level. Wildfires have burned nearly 2,733 acres here in the last two years, providing opportunities for new vegetation and attracting a variety of wildlife. There are 8 trailheads that provide public gateways to these forested areas: Black Hills National Forest.


And both just so happen to have basically the same name.
Let me stop you there for a second. If it sounds familiar, that's because it is. It's basically a copycat of the folded Desert League. The listed owner of this Southwest Professional Baseball League, John Guy, was also a partner in the Desert League and had ties to the failed National Urban Pro Baseball League. The majority of the staff have also been around the lower independent levels for the last few years.
You can check out their official website HERE and see all of the other information for yourself. I do not have any other further insight to provide other than what is listed and available for the public, and honestly… I don't want to get into it any further.
The other league is the Southwest League of Professional Baseball located in Texas and Missouri. This league, which was originally slated to start in 2018 but is now supposed to run in 2019, has four teams listed (Waco, Royse City, Joplin and an unnamed Dallas team). The league had previously stated that there would be six teams, but it seems a little late in the game for two more teams to be added. The four confirmed teams are all said to have stadiums, but some of the pictures under their stadium information section are just computer generated. But don't worry, you can buy merchandise for the teams!
There has also been no updated information on the website since a post in July that mentioned a tryout that was taking place in Plano, Texas earlier this month.
I had many players message me asking about this league, so I contacted the owner, Mark Schuster, to ask if he would do a Q & A through email as I have done in the past with every start up. At first, he seemed very eager to answer all of my questions. That was until I sent him the email with the questions. He ignored that email and the multiple follow-up emails I have sent.
You can check out their official website HERE, but there really isn't any more information than what I have briefly posted here.
Is that Southwest Professional Baseball League the same as the Border Professional Baseball League starting up that was mentioned in the fb group? It seemed the Border league site is gone, wonder if they just changed their name.
Also, noticed the Pecos is running a secondary 4 team league in the winter, different from their spring league, from the Bakersfield stadium. Not sure if that is professional or just developmental though.
I think it is the Border one. Although I'm really not sure at this point. I think the Pecos is developmental to get contracts for the regular season?
Thank you for clearing that up!!
Art unfortunately isn't telling the truth which is no surprise. We tried several times to mediate with Art but his anger issues and lack of leadership ability had him cussing and belittling our staff. We had to cut ties and move forward without him. All of which, we have the ability to prove his mistreating of our staff. If your going to report a story IndyBallIsland, plz fact check and do your homework before assuming it was the SWPBL Staff or an individual employee.
I didn't publish a story about Art. He left the comment. And as stated in the blog post… I don't want to do any further stories on this because I'm tired of the drama with every little new league that starts every single season. This exactly proves my point.
People are tired of the start up league scammers taking money from players who they can take advantage of by making them belueve that they are " chasing their dreams". Then they close the league aft e r they have made their money money sometimes leaving players stranded. The last 3-4 years has seen this happen alot. This also applies to the pay for plays that folded too.
Well they for sure aren't in it for the money, so they must be trying to give guys opportunities. How could someone assume otherwise? I hope these guys get it right. Support of these leagues seem to always be lacking around here.
I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you. Most people who read this site do support new independent leagues provided they 1) have a solid, thought out business plan, 2) have a tryout and pay system that does not just allow the players that make it through the season to break even, and 3) actually can deliver on their promises of players getting seen and having a chance at further opportunities. The leagues that have popped up the last several years, with the exception of the USPBL, have had none of these and have really just preyed on young players before disappearing into the night. When a league does have these things, it is supported. When it is just taking advantage of players and towns, it does not help anyone and poisons the well for future startups and expansion franchises of existing leagues that may be actually well thought out.
And not that she needs my defense, but if you go back through the site, you will see Kayla shows an incredible amount of support to the start up leagues and gives them the benefit of the doubt for as long as she can. But she is not there to support the leagues, she supports the players, So when she and others continuously see players taken advantage of and left in precarious situations by these startups, the common themes among them becomes easier to spot.
I am not quite sure why you're throwing the fans under the proverbial bus. This isn't the first league that cropped up with a website and some computer-generated ballparks that haven't been funded let alone built. These outfits end up playing on high school fields, the checks bounce and they spend the next 90 days bellyaching about who was responsible.
Legitimate leagues exist and players who belong in them can get a look. Promotion of bad business just leads to more of it.
The leagues would be supported if truly legit. Poeple/fans are not stupid and see a scam much easier than before due to the folding of non legit leagues the past few years by people who take advantage of the players. All money should be in the bank to pay all employees before the 1st pitch is thrown. Yes, thisi nbludes even the scorekeeper. They are only in it for the money, don't kid yourself. Ask yourself, why due these same poeple keep popping up trying to do a league but it has never fully worked?
This comment was for Marcus.
"chase your dream", you actually paid yourself from the tryout money they collected. Scouts do not come to these leagues as they know that these leagues are not legit. One fact for sure, has any league that Mr. Guy has been associated with ever gone a season as purposed? And a season only month long, come on, sounds like a pay to play to me. There are much better options for players, so do your research before putting out your HARD earned cash to these scammers. Oh, one last thought, Kayla has a good site and reputation and after many emails the person in charge won't respond to her really makes me wonder about their intentions. Mmmmm think about that when doing YOUR research. Good luck yo all…..
John Guy just ripped off more baseball hopefuls in Yuma, Arizona. Any information on his whereabouts would be aporeciated.
The SPBL, before putting out any money, players, research their staff!!!
Thanks, JT, you're right-check out the staff.
Thanks again for having folks check out our staff. Feel free to contact ANY of them.
As an outsider to this conversation, Mr Guy, I must point out that you are showing a distinct lack of professionalism that not only should give players pause, but should also raise doubt in the minds of the ownership collective.
Rather than hire a consultant who throws out his entire health history as a comment response to an article he takes exception to, it seems their money would be better spent on a good PR consultant who could help them overcome the negative perception your name has attached to their foundling league.
Sorry, John but you missed some of the earlier issues. My health history was called into question by the creator of this website. I merely responded to clarify the issue. Seems that there are a lot of misconceptions going on in this thread that I have attempted to clarify but evidently it falls on deaf ears. I have NEVER owned a baseball league in my life. I am NOT the owner of this league. I have attempted to help leagues in the past but evidently you aren't supposed to do that (I actually witnessed 2 Freedom Pro League games in my life so I guess buying a ticket for that implies that I am complicit in that league as well).
You're right, putting medical issues on a baseball blog lacks professionalism. I'm sorry I was put in the awkward position of having to rebut an internet blast but I'm not one to ignore slings and arrows thrust my way by out-of-touch, ignorant and unprofessional people. I was merely responding to the assertion that my medical issues are a scam.
Seems like John Guy is suggesting that he is not "the" owner because that implies a single entity ownership — but is leaving-out that he is part of the ownership group.
And where does Luke Powell, former "owner" of The Desert League come into play in the SWPBL's organization chart? I'd bet even money he is a silent (and hidden) partner. It would be refreshing if John Guy would publicly-announce that Luke Powell is not in any way associated with the league where Mr. Guy is "President" — but I won't hold my breath.
Smoke and mirrors, i believe is the term used to fool people. Joseph, funny that you bring up luke powell at this point . Mr. Guy, is luke powell involved with this league in any way? I am sure that any players thinking about coming to your league would like to know this too. And, if you have to ask why, think about it and what happened last time he was involved in a start up. Also, are you willing to open your books and show people how this league is financed other than tryout fees? How much are players going to be paid once given a contract? Where are they going to be housed and how will they get to each game? These are fair questions and any player should be asking these before putting out a tryout fee.
Those are great points. Nowhere on the website for SWPBL is there any mention of pay, housing, or transportation.
How can a potential player make a decision about ploppin' down $750 for a try-out without knowing the details of what they'll be getting in return? And I don't just mean money & shelter — what sort of official stats will be collected and archived for players hoping to showcase their achievements in order to advance to higher-tier indy leagues?
I've heard (but not officially) that guys are supposed to get $75 a week back for the 4 weeks… so $300 back and their housing covered. Haven't heard anything about stats although they have an "official statistician" now, so I'm sure that'll be fantastic and the details of that will just be rolling in…. ha.
1. I have read IBI for a while and the only article i recall about Mr. Guys health issues were brought up by the desert league president when they folded.
2. Anytime anyone responds to a comment with sarcasm and defensively, usually means there is something not wanted to be discussed oe brought out. Just my opinion but good for thought.
3. Players, do your due diligence please and look at all options before putting out money. DO what is best for you!! There are other places to get seen and signed.
I commented on my personal Facebook page that I would be hesitant if I was a player to give money to someone running a league who had such severe health issues. That is what Mr. Guy is referring to. It was my honest opinion and advice to players.
Good comment and sound advice, especially with all the start ups in the past 3-4 years that did not get through their 1st year. Remember, if you pay for a tryout that they are going to give you a "contract" but the total amount that will be paid to you is less than what you gave for the tryout, that is a pay for play. If you are not given transportation to and from games, meal money, or housed and have to drive yourself and not reimbursed for gas, that is a pay for play! At the very least, a player should be compensated to break even with what he has put into his season. I see it that if more is put out by a player, that is a pay for play!!
Thank you IBI and Joseph. SWPBL even with housing sounds like a "pay for play"! The pfp leagues provide housing for their players, meals too. Players, do your research, please!
It's ran by the Pecos League.
From what i researched on it, they are charging $300 per players just to tryout for a week, with no food or housing. After the week camp, they will pay the players drafted $300 for the month and house them. Sounds like a pay for play to me. Not much other info available.
Any reports on the SWL Plano Tx tryout? Did it happen?
Haven't heard from anyone that they went. And their website and social media hasn't been updated to reflect that it happened. There's been no new info.
Thank tou Kayla. I will do some more research and see if i can come up with anything. I know a few players who were gonna attend so i will reach out to them and keep you posted.
According to the Waco and Royce City FB pages, it looks like the tryout happened. But glancing at the comments, it seems they haven't even broken ground on some of the stadiums yet and no mention of signed leases with temporary fields. So this late in the game, who knows if the league itself will actually occur in '19.
I could not find anything out about Plano and the tryout from the web or players i contacted about this tryout. No one appears to have any info that i reached out to. Articles i read only say that each city is still not sure if they want this. At least that is my interpretation of what i read.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thanks for all that you do to keep us and players up to date with what is going on in the baseball world. My only words of wisdom going into the new year and season, PLAYERS, do your research!! Make sure when you put out your hard earned money to play ball anywhere, they are legit! Not j6st a glorified pay to play using your money to finance their league.
We live in Plano and my son attended the tryout. Went pretty much as they posted on their website with cuts being made and game at the end with remaining players. He did say one of the teams coaches said they were already full and just looking to pick up a couple more pitchers. Those that made it to the end were basically told they would hear back if there was interest from the teams. We have not heard anything else and as others stated the website has no updates since before the tryouts. Searches on web don't show anything else about the new dallas stadium and I'm beginning to think they will not be ready for this season.
I have tried to contact the league with no results. At this point in the upcoming season, all ducks should be in a row. Any team should have contacted players by now and one way or another. Most of these tryouts are for money and p.r. and to see if they missed a pitcher who throws hard. All other players, unless they hit "bombs", are there to make it look good(window dressing). How many players were there and i can't believe that they did not sign anyone? You would think that they would announce something from their tryout for if nothing else, p.r. purposes. Good luck to your son.
Tried to get more info on these leagues and no one is talking, posting info, or returning calls. Absolutely nothing on the tryouts , either league. My gut feeling, SCAMS to get players money. But that is just my opinion. Players, don't be taken for a ride that you end up paying for. That is not Professional baseball!

Prometic announces terms of equity rights offering
CNW Group May 15, 2019
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES /
LAVAL, QC , May 15, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Prometic Life Sciences Inc. (PLI.TO) (PFSCF) ("Prometic" or the "Corporation") is pleased to confirm the terms of its previously announced equity rights offering for gross proceeds of up to $75,000,000 (the "Rights Offering").
The Corporation will be offering rights to the holders of record of its outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares") at the close of business on May 21, 2019 (the "Record Date"), on the basis of one right for each Common Share held, on the terms summarized hereafter and more fully detailed in the Corporation's rights offering circular which will be available under Prometic's profile at www.sedar.com (the "Rights Offering Circular"). Each right will entitle the holder to subscribe for up to twenty (20) Common Shares upon payment of a subscription price rounded to the nearest 5 decimals of $0.01521 per Common Share, subject to proration as described below. No fractional Common Shares will be issued.
Mr. Ken Galbraith , Chief Executive Officer of Prometic, stated: "The Rights Offering represents the last step in our recapitalization plan announced last month, and follows the extinguishment of substantially all of Prometic's debt and the successful completion of the private placement led by Consonance Capital Management and Structured Alpha which resulted in $75 million gross proceeds to Prometic. The funds that we hope to raise through the Rights Offering, combined with our materially reduced debt obligations and the new capital raised, will give us the ability to enable a sustainable capital structure and business model and to enhance the future viability of Prometic. We believe the Rights Offering will offer shareholders of Prometic the ability to meaningfully participate in Prometic's future growth. We look forward to the completion of the Rights Offering and our recapitalization plan."
The Rights Offering is subject to proration to ensure that no more than 4,931,554,664 Common Shares will be subscribed for under the Rights Offering. If the aggregate number of Common Shares subscribed for by those who exercise their rights exceeds the number of available Common Shares, being 4,931,554,664, holders of rights who have exercised their rights will be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole number, calculated by multiplying the number of Common Shares for which they subscribed under the Rights Offering by a proration factor calculated by dividing 4,931,554,664 by the total number of Common Shares subscribed for by all holders of rights who have exercised their rights in the Rights Offering.
As such, holders of rights are not guaranteed to receive the total number of Common Shares which they have exercised to receive.
On April 23, 2019, Structured Alpha LP ("SALP"), the Corporation's control person, publicly disclosed that it does not intend to exercise its rights in the Rights Offering. There is no standby commitment in respect of the Rights Offering.

Nutrition is the primary contributor to the success of a sportsperson's performance. When we think of supplements, we consider nutritional additions to our food or diet. Supplements are nutritional products. The dietary supplements ought to be full of herbs, amino acids, botanicals, minerals, and vitamins.
You can find the sports supplements in forms or liquid, powders, capsules, snack bars or tablets. There are two categories of sports supplements. The two sections on sports supplements are post-workout and pre-workout supplements. Both men and women can use sports supplements. The primary reason why people use supplements is for weight loss or muscle gain. The sports individuals concentrate on losing fat or building up the muscles. You need to find the best muscle building way that suit you best. You choose the supplements considering your time, costs, and your level of muscle strength.
The two fundamental principles of building the muscles or losing weight are dependent on your routines and diet. It is crucial for sports people to invest in food rich in protein. On the other hand they should avoid taking highly processed food. Their food must have a balance in fat, protein and carbs to boost their muscle buildup. Sufficient nutrients in the body are ideal for fastening your metabolism functions helping in fat loss.
The Glyconutrients supplement will only work if you have an excellent exercise routine and diet plan. Focus on getting a multi-vitamin supplement. The multi-vitamins offer total health benefits. Multi-vitamins supplies the body with the required nutrients and vitamins needed to for the days activity. Note that a bodybuilder needs a lot of nutrients than the regular person. Sports supplements are to be used as quality insurance. The multi-vitamins are not a substitute for fruits and vegetables. The multi-vitamins are not for building the mass fat. They help in boosting your energies, immune system and enhance quick recovery after the workouts. Protein supplements and amino acids are also crucial sports supplements. The protein boost the production of energy during the exercises. Protein helps in rebuilding muscles and body tissues.
The Glyconutrients supplement is also functional in hormones and enzyme production. You can access the protein supplement in bar or powder form and have different tastes. The amino acids work as the complement of proteins. Amino acids are found in both the workout supplements and the sports supplement. Amino acid enhance digestion and also functional in building up muscles. Essential and non-essential are the two types of amino acids. The body produce the non-essential amino acid naturally. On the other hand, you obtain the essential amino acids from the food you take.
The sports drinks are another form of sports supplements. They use the drinks to provide their bodies with sufficient fluids. It is fundamental to be careful when in search of a sports supplement. Make sure you purchase supplements that are permitted by the authorities in charge. Consult a medical doctor of the best sports supplements to use before you buy them.


Home/Taxes/Is Online Accounting Worth It?
By now you have probably heard of online accounting or cloud accounting and how it can benefit your business, but exactly how much does it cost to use and is it even worth it at all?
When companies are first founded many business owners decide to take their accounts into their own hands. This includes doing all the bookkeeping, payroll and tax returns themselves. This might be a cheaper option than say paying a small business accountant to do the work for you but you could actually be wasting precious time.
The reason so many new businesses decide to do their own accounts is they think it's much cheaper than hiring a business accountant. In some respects they think they have no other option as they can't afford to pay someone else to do it for them.
While hiring a business accountant physically costs money, imagine all the time you could be saving. If hiring a small business accounting is too expensive for you then don't worry online accounting is considerably cheaper.
Advancements in technology and computing have revolutionised many industries and accountancy is one of those industries that is seeing the benefits. Online accounting is now a suitable and affordable accounting solution for millions of small businesses.
By using the online accounting software you can enter transactions yourself which saves you paying someone else to do it. Once the data has been entered the accountants on the other end can check the data to make sure it's all correct.
Once the data has been entered into the software it can generate a range of reports such as invoice generation which is a great time saver and makes your life easier. The software can be accessed by any mobile device including mobile phone or tablet which means you can basically do your accounts anywhere. The times of slaving away in your office at night are long gone.
The accounts team is always on hand just in case you have any problems entering data or using the software, they'll always be there to help. At the end of every year the team will check all transactions have been entered correctly and will then prepare the annual accounts for you.
The software is also capable of calculating how much income tax you'll need to pay, how much your personal national insurance contributions are and how much the company needs to pay towards employers national insurance.
Online accounting is a great way for small businesses to improve their productivity and reduce the stress of accounts. Once your business has grown considerably it might be time to hire an actually accountant, but until that time online accounting will do just fine.
Here at CRBH we offer a wide range of accounting solutions for small businesses and start-ups. If you think getting an accountant is too expensive then think again, it could be costing you more than you think by not getting one. Contact us below for more information on how we can help your small business grow into the business of your dreams.

Hitman Episode One: The Kotaku Review
Riley MacLeod
I've often noticed a conflict between the way games tell me I'm a master assassin/spy/soldier and the more bumbling, experimental way that I play. One moment I'm panicking and shooting the wrong person in the face, the next I'm coolly walking away as a chandelier drops on a target behind me.
The new Hitman, the first episode of which is out today, gives me those same entertaining feelings of exploration, experimentation, failure, and slickly perfect execution. It combines familiar elements of past games in the series, but it packages them in a new way: it will be released episodically over the course of the year, which is a format we associate more with adventure games like Life is Strange and The Walking Dead. I've spent six or so hours playing the first episode, which includes the two tutorial missions that comprised last month's beta along with one new "real" mission set at a fashion show in Paris.
As the game's creators have been careful to point out, this new Hitman seeks to combine the strongest elements of the series' previous entries. Honestly, most of that can be translated to "We know you all liked Blood Money, so we're making this game like Blood Money." Which is fair—the 2006 game is held up by many Hitman fans as the pinnacle of the series.
All three levels in the first episode, particularly the culminating Paris level, are glitzy sandboxes in the vein of Blood Money, featuring numerous ways to manipulate your targets into meeting a stylish demise. There are guns to fire, vials of poison to pour into drinks, fuseboxes to detonate, winches to release, and wrenches to throw. You rub shoulders with a glamorous crowd while tracking your fashionista-cum-spy targets, wandering through sprawling environments that feel both like believable real-world locations and carefully constructed video game levels. And when the time is right, you strike.

Agent 47 returns as the game's protagonist, complete with his back-of-the-head barcode and his near magical ability to change costumes in the blink of an eye. Those costumes are of paramount importance, too—each mission is designed to be approached by costume-hopping your way deeper and deeper into a level, much to the admiration of the AI, if their generally positive and flirty comments about my outfits are any indication.
Playing as a master of disguise also happens to be my favorite way to play Hitman games, and while at first that approach usually ended up with me getting in too deep in the level and panicking, over the time I've spent with the game so far I've managed some pretty creative kills, too. There are literally dozens of ways to take out some of the targets, and a lot of the fun is in finding the coolest, goofiest, or most creative.
Success in Hitman, as always, relies not on quick reflexes or pinpoint accuracy, but on the more generally human activities of walking and listening. The game demands a thoughtful pace and relies more on creativity than twitchy skill. Paris' bustling crowds and busy environment are varied enough that I didn't mind taking my time with each level. If anything I was sometimes overwhelmed by how many options I had. I'm sure that as I play each level more, I'll grow more comfortable with how they work.
Each level is intended to be played and replayed, as evidenced by the additional gameplay modes that accompany the main story. There are leaderboards for players who want to compete with their friends, as well as the returning free-form "Contracts mode" in which you can assign your own targets and challenge others to take them out. I'm particularly fond of Escalation mode, which sends you through the level multiple times with stricter requirements on each one. I'm looking forward to playing more with the disabled save option, which will keep me from relying on save-scumming as much as I usually do, and tracking down some "Elusive Targets," which are time-sensitive contracts that weren't available when I played earlier this week. (It's worth noting that the story is available to play offline, but the leaderboards and contracts require an internet connection. Update - 6:30 PM: Based on some comments, we tested this on PC and were able to access the story missions in offline mode, though not the contracts, so it appears a persistent internet connection is not required.)
Each level reveals its assassination opportunities to you in a variety of ways, including snippets of overheard conversation in the grand tradition of NPCs shouting important secrets to each other in public. The information they reveal can then be optionally tracked, opening up new paths and assassination options. While these opportunities can feel a bit hand-holdy—hear thing, follow waypoint to thing, kill target with thing—they do provide some useful direction if you're feeling lost.
While IO has done away with Absolution's more linear levels, it's retained some of the other features that made that game play well, especially for Hitman newcomers. The optional waypoints, generally responsive controls, and easy-to-read suspicion indicator remove interface and interaction barriers and help players focus on the job at hand.
There have been some tweaks to pre-existing systems—blending in, for instance, which in Absolution was done via 47 hiding his face like the Phantom of the Opera, is now bound to costume- and context-specific hotspots. Managing suspicion now requires more general awareness of your surroundings, actions, and outfit, which feels about right. All of it feels logical, fair, and easy to jump into and begin dissecting the levels and the various opportunities they afford.
The suspicion system itself has also received an overhaul. Unlike in Absolution, characters dressed like you don't immediately see through your disguise, and the HUD gives a clean indication of who's on to you and how close they are to triggering an alarm. This enables you to plan and avoid suspicion in a way that feels natural and flexible. In the second mission, which takes place on a military base, I found myself lurking in the shadows outside an airplane hangar dressed as a soldier, carefully waiting for the perfect moment to walk confidently by two other soldiers before turning a corner just in time to avoid sending their suspicion over the tipping point. The AI is just predictable enough to manage and manipulate, but not so predictable that I don't have to think on my feet.
Agent 47's instinct ability, which lets him identify threats and targets through walls, has also been revised. It's much less powerful than it was in Absolution, but it never runs out and requires no recharge. It serves as more of an optional bit of guidance to help you get your bearings and plan your approach.
This kind of change perhaps best represents the new Hitman's ethos: it's a game that wants you to play it, but it also wants you to play with it rather than following a set path. The story is told between missions and in snippets of dialogue, and while it's the high-conspiracy globetrotting you've come to expect from your Hitmans (Hitmen?), the broader context the cutscenes provide so far feels inessential. Each assassination is its own story, and those contained sandboxes are the game's true focus.
I did run into some technical issues on PC—I'm running a 3.2Ghz i5 and a 2GB R9 270 graphics card, which puts me right on the edge of the game's recommended specs. I regularly experienced huge framerate drops that detracted significantly from my experience, particularly in the Paris level. My colleague Kirk Hamilton is playing the game on a much beefier rig and says the Paris level has some odd framerate dips for him as well. The game doesn't seem very well optimized in general, an issue which will hopefully be addressed by patches in the near future. A few performance hitches aren't the end of the world for a methodical game like this, but it's worth keeping in mind if you're hoping to play on a less powerful PC.
As I finished the Paris mission for the first time, I was a little disappointed that I couldn't keep playing like I would in a full release. That's not a knock on the game, though; in fact, the episodic model might actually improve, or at least alter, my Hitman experience. I tend to barrel through these games on my first go, planning to but seldom getting a chance to return to them to try new things. Given Hitman's release structure, I can see myself spending more time really getting to know each level as I wait for the next episode.
The first episode of Hitman is a very strong start, and it's a return to form for a series that some were worried had begun to wander. Time will tell whether the finished game will live up to these first three levels, as well as whether the timed events and player-generated challenges will be as fruitful and interesting as the game's creators hope. For now, we've got three solid new Hitman levels to play. I'll take it.

Course Assessment Program (CAP) was deeply studied for a maximum 30 students of each course. It measures the level of success in achieving course learning outcomes and consequently student outcomes.
An entry key for each of the assistant tools listed above. Once an assessment key is clicked the CAP requests the faculty member to fill in the A2K+ Relevance for that particular tool.
A2K+ Relevance of the course (Course Assessment by Faculty-CAF) which is the expected student outcomes of the course. The faculty fills in a weighted rate for each student outcome (a - k) relevant to the course.
CAF: the preset target weighted grades of the (a - k) student outcomes of the course.
Tool: the actual weighted grades achieved by the assessment tools used by the instructor.
Score: the actual weighted grades achieved by the students.
Warn – Check the appropriateness of the Tools and the delivered material.
N/A: The criterion was not in the specified Tool.
Course Assessment by Students (CAS) was carefully studied depending on the students evaluation of each course outcome according to five levels, where one was considered having the lowest score, and five having the highest score. By mapping each course outcomes with a-k ABET program outcomes, and according to the students assessments of each course, the average of each a-k criterion varied between one and five, where again, one was considered having the lowest score, and five is the highest.


The Music in Me series consists of the Music in Me child's book and Activity Book and More Music in Me child's book and Activity Book.
This program is offered in two 18 week semesters, 45 minutes weekly.
The curriculum is designed to immerse children and parents in activities which develop the ear, utilize the tactile-kinesthetic sense, explore keyboard geography and playing through tracking activities, set pre-reading concepts combined with pitch awareness, experience large motor skills in movement songs and finer motor skills with hand/finger play songs and activities.
Singing (words and solfege) for pitch recognition, for solfege ear training, to set pitch direction and sequence on the keyboard, to experience question/answer activities, to develop a feeling for dynamics, expressiveness, and phrasing, and just for fun!
Movement – both free and guided to recognize and experience meters, moods, tempos, and styles.
Rhythm activities to develop a feeling for pulse through body rhythms and use of small percussion instruments. Students experience and feel a variety of note and rest durations and rhythmic patterns.
Keyboard/Piano activities are designed to strengthen pitch concepts and explore the geography of the whole keyboard. Children touch and track pitch patterns as they sing – providing a strong tactile connection between the fingers, the voice singing and the keys.
Finger Readiness – enjoyable finger play songs prepare a "soft" handshape and awareness of finger numbers as they relate to pitching patterning.
Creative Activities and Projects – children and parents are encouraged to do creative projects at home which reinforce pre-reading pitch activities that have been experienced in class. This process of creating and "constructing" is an essential factor in early childhood learning. Sharing projects with the class provides an opportunity for repetition to set patterning.
As parents, teacher, and children share in the music making – a strong bond is made that will last a lifetime.

Back in late November of 2018, I hiked up to the summit of Bergen Peak within Elk Meadow Park and was thoroughly amazed by the remarkable view while still being so close to Denver. With that in the back of my mind, I decided to head back up that way to Evergreen and see how both the trail conditions were and if I would be lucky enough to see some elk and other cool wildlife too.
Trail Conditions: Partially muddy at lower elevations with a snow covered path closer to the summit.
Shortly after I started up the trail, probably about no more than five minutes into my hike, I happened to observe a coyote hunting for food and pouncing in the open meadow. From that moment on, I knew that I was going to indeed have a splendid afternoon.
In shaded areas, the trail was still snow covered but not icy at all. It was more in the way of being slush turning to mud. On the contrary, the areas that were able to get enough sun throughout the course of the day had become muddy.
Slushy trail through the woods.
Further on in the mud.
Once I got about halfway to the summit, I started to see more people descending. It was starting to get later in the day but that didn't really bother me much because I figured that if worst came to worst, I would just do a little bit of trail running back down to the trailhead before it started to get really dark.
Further towards the top, the snow was still at least 2 feet deep in most places. However, a trench had already been dug out and frequently traveled leading the to the summit for some more breathtaking views.
That feeling of being on top of the world!
Looking south in the vicinity towards Pikes Peak.
Looking west towards Mount Evans. Can't wait to hike to the summit here in a few months!
Another view looking towards the northwest.
Around 5pm that afternoon, I reached the summit. I stayed for about 5 to 10 minutes just taking it all in and being thankful for it all. The way back to the trail head was rather uneventful as I saw very few people with it being a week night.
But all that changed when I was probably about a tenth of a mile from my car. Much to my surprise, a large herd of elk had stopped traffic in both directions while they began to emerge from across the road and walk into the meadow.
Right as I got my camera out with the little bit of sunlight that was left, I took a picture and got the dreaded insufficient memory on card message. It just wasn't meant to be that day and that's completely alright. I'll get some good pictures of them at some point!

What To Expect At The Yahoo NewFront [Predictions]
On April 26, 2013 April 26, 2013
From April 29th-May 3rd, 18 online video distributors will take the stage all over New York for Digital Content Newfronts, where they will attempt to pitch their upcoming content to advertisers and the media. Here at Tubefilter, we'll be running through some of the presenters and taking our guesses as to what they will be showcasing. Today, Yahoo.
Name: Yahoo
Date Of Newfronts Presentation: Monday, April 29th from 6-10 PM EST
Highlights of Recent Offerings: Burning Love, Cybergeddon, Electric City
What They Talked About At Last Year's Newfronts: Yahoo announced its new slate of shows at Newfronts 2012, including all three of the shows listed above. Many of the announced programs featured celebrity hosts such as Katie Couric, Jeff Goldblum, and Tom Hanks.
What They Will Talk About This Year: More of the same, basically, but with a data-driven spin. That's because the leadership at Yahoo has changed since the company's last NewFront. Expect an online video effort ultimately led by Marissa Mayer to have a much stronger emphasis on analytics and measurement than in year's past. Of course, there will still be entertainment.
Yahoo's focus is once again squarely on its original web series. The one we're most interested in hearing about is Ghost Ghirls, Jack Black's paranormal comedy, which could be for Yahoo in 2013 what Burning Love was in 2012. There's also The Fuzz, a comedy that continues the Internet's obsession with puppets by turning them into police officers.
Yahoo also announced recently that it will become the home for 37 seasons of Saturday Night Live, a huge deal for those of us who don't care for newer seasons but can't get enough of Samurai Futaba. Does Yahoo have more distribution deals in the works to go along with its original content? We'll know next week.
A Special Guest Who Could Show Up: The Lumineers will show up for a concert after the presentation, which could lead to many ad execs awkwardly shouting 'h0' and 'hey' in time with the music. And don't be surprised if Lorne Michaels and a special SNL-alum or two grace the stage as well.


earthquake [IBM] n. The ultimate real-world shock test for computer hardware. Hackish sources at IBM deny the rumor that the Bay Area quake of 1989 was initiated by the company to test quality-assurance procedures at its California plants.
Easter egg [from the custom of the Easter Egg hunt observed in the U.S. and many parts of Europe] n.
A message hidden in the object code of a program as a joke, intended to be found by persons disassembling or browsing the code.
A message, graphic, or sound effect emitted by a program (or, on a PC, the BIOS ROM) in response to some undocumented set of commands or keystrokes, intended as a joke or to display program credits. One well-known early Easter egg found in a couple of OSes caused them to respond to the command `make love' with `not war?'. Many personal computers have much more elaborate eggs hidden in ROM, including lists of the developers' names, political exhortations, snatches of music, and (in one case) graphics images of the entire development team.
Easter egging [IBM] n. The act of replacing unrelated components more or less at random in hopes that a malfunction will go away. Hackers consider this the normal operating mode of field circus techs and do not love them for it. See also the jokes under field circus. Compare shotgun debugging.
eat flaming death imp. A construction popularized among hackers by the infamous CPU Wars comic; supposedly derive from a famously turgid line in a WWII-era anti-Nazi propaganda comic that ran "Eat flaming death, non-Aryan mongrels!" or something of the sort (however, it is also reported that the Firesign Theater's 1975 album "In The Next World, You're On Your Own" included the phrase "Eat flaming death, fascist media pigs"; this may have been an influence). Used in humorously overblown expressions of hostility. "Eat flaming death, EBCDIC users!"
EBCDIC /eb's*-dik/, /eb'see`dik/, or /eb'k*-dik/ [abbreviation, Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code] n. An alleged character set used on IBM dinosaurs. It exists in at least six mutually incompatible versions, all featuring such delights as non-contiguous letter sequences and the absence of several ASCII punctuation characters fairly important for modern computer languages (exactly which characters are absent varies according to which version of EBCDIC you're looking at). IBM adapted EBCDIC from punched card code in the early 1960s and promulgated it as a customer-control tactic (see connector conspiracy), spurning the already established ASCII standard. Today, IBM claims to be an open-systems company, but IBM's own description of the EBCDIC variants and how to convert between them is still internally classified top-secret, burn-before-reading. Hackers blanch at the very *name* of EBCDIC and consider it a manifestation of purest evil. See also fear and loathing.
echo [FidoNet] n. A topic group on FidoNet's echomail system. Compare newsgroup.
The eighty-column mind is thought by most hackers to dominate IBM's customer base and its thinking. See IBM, fear and loathing, card walloper.
El Camino Bignum /el' k*-mee'noh big'nuhm/ n. The road mundanely called El Camino Real, a road through the San Francisco peninsula that originally extended all the way down to Mexico City and many portions of which are still intact. Navigation on the San Francisco peninsula is usually done relative to El Camino Real, which defines logical north and south even though it isn't really north-south many places. El Camino Real runs right past Stanford University and so is familiar to hackers.
The Spanish word `real' (which has two syllables: /ray-ol'/) means `royal'; El Camino Real is `the royal road'. In the FORTRAN language, a `real' quantity is a number typically precise to seven significant digits, and a `double precision' quantity is a larger floating-point number, precise to perhaps fourteen significant digits (other languages have similar `real' types).
elder days n. The heroic age of hackerdom (roughly, pre-1980); the era of the PDP-10, TECO, ITS, and the ARPANET. This term has been rather consciously adopted from J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy epic "The Lord of the Rings". Compare Iron Age; see also elvish and Great Worm, The.
elegant [from mathematical usage] adj. Combining simplicity, power, and a certain ineffable grace of design. Higher praise than `clever', `winning', or even cuspy.
elephantine adj. Used of programs or systems that are both conspicuous hogs (owing perhaps to poor design founded on brute force and ignorance) and exceedingly hairy in source form. An elephantine program may be functional and even friendly, but (as in the old joke about being in bed with an elephant) it's tough to have around all the same (and, like a pachyderm, difficult to maintain). In extreme cases, hackers have been known to make trumpeting sounds or perform expressive proboscatory mime at the mention of the offending program. Usage: semi-humorous. Compare `has the elephant nature' and the somewhat more pejorative monstrosity. See also second-system effect and baroque.
elevator controller n. An archetypal dumb embedded-systems application, like toaster (which superseded it). During one period (1983--84) in the deliberations of ANSI X3J11 (the C standardization committee) this was the canonical example of a really stupid, memory-limited computation environment. "You can't require `printf(3)' to be part of the default runtime library --- what if you're targeting an elevator controller?" Elevator controllers became important rhetorical weapons on both sides of several holy wars.
ELIZA effect /*-li:'z* *-fekt'/ [AI community] n. The tendency of humans to attach associations to terms from prior experience. For example, there is nothing magic about the symbol `+' that makes it well-suited to indicate addition; it's just that people associate it with addition. Using `+' or `plus' to mean addition in a computer language is taking advantage of the ELIZA effect.
This term comes from the famous ELIZA program by Joseph Weizenbaum, which simulated a Rogerian psychoanalyst by rephrasing many of the patient's statements as questions and posing them to the patient. It worked by simple pattern recognition and substitution of key words into canned phrases. It was so convincing, however, that there are many anecdotes about people becoming very emotionally caught up in dealing with ELIZA. All this was due to people's tendency to attach to words meanings which the computer never put there. The ELIZA effect is a Good Thing when writing a programming language, but it can blind you to serious shortcomings when analyzing an Artificial Intelligence system. Compare ad-hockery; see also AI-Complete.
The Tengwar of Feanor, a table of letterforms resembling the beautiful Celtic half-uncial hand of the "Book of Kells". Invented and described by J. R. R. Tolkien in "The Lord of The Rings" as an orthography for his fictional `elvish' languages, this system (which is both visually and phonetically elegant) has long fascinated hackers (who tend to be intrigued by artificial languages in general). It is traditional for graphics printers, plotters, window systems, and the like to support a Feanorian typeface as one of their demo items. See also elder days.
By extension, any odd or unreadable typeface produced by a graphics device.
The typeface mundanely called `Böcklin', an art-decoish display font.
EMACS /ee'maks/ [from Editing MACroS] n. The ne plus ultra of hacker editors, a programmable text editor with an entire LISP system inside it. It was originally written by Richard Stallman in TECO under ITS at the MIT AI lab; AI Memo 554 described it as "an advanced, self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time display editor". It has since been reimplemented any number of times, by various hackers, and versions exist that run under most major operating systems. Perhaps the most widely used version, also written by Stallman and now called "GNU EMACS" or GNUMACS, runs principally under UNIX. It includes facilities to run compilation subprocesses and send and receive mail; many hackers spend up to 80% of their tube time inside it. Other variants include GOSMACS, CCA EMACS, UniPress EMACS, Montgomery EMACS, jove, epsilon, and MicroEMACS.
Some EMACS versions running under window managers iconify as an overflowing kitchen sink, perhaps to suggest the one feature the editor does not (yet) include. Indeed, some hackers find EMACS too heavyweight and baroque for their taste, and expand the name as `Escape Meta Alt Control Shift' to spoof its heavy reliance on keystrokes decorated with bucky bits. Other spoof expansions include `Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping', `Eventually `malloc()'s All Computer Storage', and `EMACS Makes A Computer Slow' (see recursive acronym). See also vi.
n. Electronic mail automatically passed through computer networks and/or via modems over common-carrier lines. Contrast snail-mail, paper-net, voice-net. See network address.
vt. To send electronic mail.
Oddly enough, the word `emailed' is actually listed in the OED; it means "embossed (with a raised pattern) or arranged in a net work". A use from 1480 is given. The word is derived from French `emmailleure', network.
emoticon /ee-moh'ti-kon/ n. An ASCII glyph used to indicate an emotional state in email or news. Although originally intended mostly as jokes, emoticons (or some other explicit humor indication) are virtually required under certain circumstances in high-volume text-only communication forums such as USENET; the lack of verbal and visual cues can otherwise cause what were intended to be humorous, sarcastic, ironic, or otherwise non-100%-serious comments to be badly misinterpreted (not always even by newbies), resulting in arguments and flame wars.
also known as `semi-smiley' or `winkey face'.
empire n. Any of a family of military simulations derived from a game written by Peter Langston many years ago. Five or six multi-player variants of varying degrees of sophistication exist, and one single-player version implemented for both UNIX and VMS; the latter is even available as MS-DOS freeware. All are notoriously addictive.
A piece of hardware that encapsulates some function but can't be used without some kind of front end. Today we have, especially, `print engine': the guts of a laser printer.
An analogous piece of software; notionally, one that does a lot of noisy crunching, such as a `database engine'.
n.,obs. The source code for a program, which may be in any language, as opposed to the linkable or executable binary produced from it by a compiler. The idea behind the term is that to a real hacker, a program written in his favorite programming language is at least as readable as English. Usage: mostly by old-time hackers, though recognizable in context.
enhancement n. Marketroid-speak for a bug fix. This abuse of language is a popular and time-tested way to turn incompetence into increased revenue. A hacker being ironic would instead call the fix a feature --- or perhaps save some effort by declaring the bug itself to be a feature.
ENQ /enkw/ or /enk/ [from the ASCII mnemonic ENQuire for 0000101] An on-line convention for querying someone's availability. After opening a talk mode connection to someone apparently in heavy hack mode, one might type `SYN SYN ENQ?' (the SYNs representing notional synchronization bytes), and expect a return of ACK or NAK depending on whether or not the person felt interruptible. Compare ping, finger, and the usage of `FOO?' listed under talk mode.
EOF /E-O-F/ [abbreviation, `End Of File'] n. 1. [techspeak] The out-of-band value returned by C's sequential character-input functions (and their equivalents in other environments) when end of file has been reached. This value is -1 under C libraries postdating V6 UNIX, but was originally 0. 2. [UNIX] The keyboard character (usually control-D, the ASCII EOT (End Of Transmission) character) that is mapped by the terminal driver into an end-of-file condition. 3. Used by extension in non-computer contexts when a human is doing something that can be modeled as a sequential read and can't go further. "Yeah, I looked for a list of 360 mnemonics to post as a joke, but I hit EOF pretty fast; all the library had was a JCL manual." See also EOL.
EOL /E-O-L/ [End Of Line] n. Syn. for newline, derived perhaps from the original CDC6600 Pascal. Now rare, but widely recognized and occasionally used for brevity. Used in the example entry under BNF. See also EOF.
EOU /E-O-U/ n. The mnemonic of a mythical ASCII control character (End Of User) that would make an ASR-33 Teletype explode on receipt. This construction parodies the numerous obscure delimiter and control characters left in ASCII from the days when it was associated more with wire-service teletypes than computers (e.g., FS, GS, RS, US, EM, SUB, ETX, and esp. EOT). It is worth remembering that ASR-33s were big, noisy mechanical beasts with a lot of clattering parts; the notion that one might explode was nowhere near as ridiculous as it might seem to someone sitting in front of a tube or flatscreen today.
epoch [UNIX: prob. from astronomical timekeeping] n. The time and date corresponding to 0 in an operating system's clock and timestamp values. Under most UNIX versions the epoch is 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970; under VMS, it's 00:00:00 of November 17, 1858 (base date of the U.S. Naval Observatory's ephemerides); on a Macintosh, it's the midnight beginning January 1 1904. System time is measured in seconds or ticks past the epoch. Weird problems may ensue when the clock wraps around (see wrap around), which is not necessarily a rare event; on systems counting 10 ticks per second, a signed 32-bit count of ticks is good only for 6.8 years. The 1-tick-per-second clock of UNIX is good only until January 18, 2038, assuming at least some software continues to consider it signed and that word lengths don't increase by then. See also wall time.
n. A small quantity of anything. "The cost is epsilon."
adj. Very small, negligible; less than marginal. "We can get this feature for epsilon cost."
`within epsilon of': close enough to be indistinguishable for all practical purposes, even closer than being `within delta of'. "That's not what I asked for, but it's within epsilon of what I wanted." Alternatively, it may mean not close enough, but very little is required to get it there: "My program is within epsilon of working."
epsilon squared n. A quantity even smaller than epsilon, as small in comparison to epsilon as epsilon is to something normal; completely negligible. If you buy a supercomputer for a million dollars, the cost of the thousand-dollar terminal to go with it is epsilon, and the cost of the ten-dollar cable to connect them is epsilon squared. Compare lost in the underflow, lost in the noise.
era, the Syn. epoch. Webster's Unabridged makes these words almost synonymous, but `era' usually connotes a span of time rather than a point in time. The epoch usage is recommended.
Eric Conspiracy n. A shadowy group of mustachioed hackers named Eric first pinpointed as a sinister conspiracy by an infamous talk.bizarre posting ca. 1986; this was doubtless influenced by the numerous `Eric' jokes in the Monty Python oeuvre. There do indeed seem to be considerably more mustachioed Erics in hackerdom than the frequency of these three traits can account for unless they are correlated in some arcane way. Well-known examples include Eric Allman (he of the `Allman style' described under indent style) and Erik Fair (co-author of NNTP); your editor has heard from about fifteen others by email, and the organization line `Eric Conspiracy Secret Laboratories' now emanates regularly from more than one site.
Eris /e'ris/ n. The Greek goddess of Chaos, Discord, Confusion, and Things You Know Not Of; her name was latinized to Discordia and she was worshiped by that name in Rome. Not a very friendly deity in the Classical original, she was reinvented as a more benign personification of creative anarchy starting in 1959 by the adherents of Discordianism and has since been a semi-serious subject of veneration in several `fringe' cultures, including hackerdom. See Discordianism, Church Of The SubGenius.
erotics /ee-ro'tiks/ n. [Helsinki University of Technology, Finland] n. English-language university slang for electronics. Often used by hackers in Helsinki, maybe because good electronics excites them and makes them warm.
error 33 [XEROX PARC] n.
Predicating one research effort upon the success of another.
Allowing your own research effort to be placed on the critical path of some other project (be it a research effort or not).
evil adj. As used by hackers, implies that some system, program, person, or institution is sufficiently maldesigned as to be not worth the bother of dealing with. Unlike the adjectives in the cretinous/losing/brain-damaged series, `evil' does not imply incompetence or bad design, but rather a set of goals or design criteria fatally incompatible with the speaker's. This usage is more an esthetic and engineering judgment than a moral one in the mainstream sense. "We thought about adding a Blue Glue interface but decided it was too evil to deal with." "TECO is neat, but it can be pretty evil if you're prone to typos." Often pronounced with the first syllable lengthened, as /eeee'vil/. Compare evil and rude.
evil and rude adj. Both evil and rude, but with the additional connotation that the rudeness was due to malice rather than incompetence. Thus, for example: Microsoft's Windows NT is evil because it's a competent implementation of a bad design; it's rude because it's gratuitously incompatible with UNIX in places where compatibility would have been as easy and effective to do; but it's evil and rude because the incompatibilities are apparently there not to fix design bugs in UNIX but rather to lock hapless customers and developers into the Microsoft way. Hackish evil and rude is close to the mainstream sense of `evil'.
exa- /ek's*/ [SI] pref. See quantifiers.
examining the entrails n. The process of grovelling through a core dump or hex image in an attempt to discover the bug that brought a program or system down. The reference is to divination from the entrails of a sacrified animal. Compare runes, incantation, black art, desk check.
EXCH /eks'ch*/ or /eksch/ vt. To exchange two things, each for the other; to swap places. If you point to two people sitting down and say "Exch!", you are asking them to trade places. EXCH, meaning EXCHange, was originally the name of a PDP-10 instruction that exchanged the contents of a register and a memory location. Many newer hackers are probably thinking instead of the PostScript exchange operator (which is usually written in lowercase).
excl /eks'kl/ n. Abbreviation for `exclamation point'. See bang, shriek, ASCII.
EXE /eks'ee/ or /eek'see/ or /E-X-E/ n. An executable binary file. Some operating systems (notably MS-DOS, VMS, and TWENEX) use the extension .EXE to mark such files. This usage is also occasionally found among UNIX programmers even though UNIX executables don't have any required suffix.
[UNIX: from `execute'] Synonym for chain, derives from the `exec(2)' call.
[from `executive'] obs. The command interpreter for an OS (see shell); term esp. used around mainframes, and prob. derived from UNIVAC's archaic EXEC 2 and EXEC 8 operating systems.
At IBM and VM/CMS shops, the equivalent of a shell command file (among VM/CMS users).
exercise, left as an [from technical books] Used to complete a proof when one doesn't mind a handwave, or to avoid one entirely. The complete phrase is: "The proof [or `the rest'] is left as an exercise for the reader." This comment *has* occasionally been attached to unsolved research problems by authors possessed of either an evil sense of humor or a vast faith in the capabilities of their audiences.
external memory n. A memo pad or written notes. "Hold on while I write that to external memory". The analogy is with store or DRAM versus nonvolatile disk storage on computers.
eyeball search n.,v. To look for something in a mass of code or data with one's own native optical sensors, as opposed to using some sort of pattern matching software like grep or any other automated search tool. Also called a vgrep; compare vdiff, desk check.
