Prelude Special Ale is a great example of a style of beer that has come to be known as Winter Warmer. The style has fairly broad definitions; for example, winter warmers can be either ale or lager, though most often they are ales. In general, these beers tend to be medium amber to deep brown in color, are sweet with a malty emphasis, present little hop presence (though hop character is one of the more variable characteristics of the style) and range from 6-8% ABV (the higher alcohol level is part of what gives the style its name, as the alcohol tends to 'warm' the belly). Some traditional examples also feature spices like cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg. The Shipyard's version is more prominently hopped than many, yet is still malt-focused. It has a biscuit-like aroma with citrusy highlights and some fruity esters that evoke banana and hints of plum and pear. Expect notes of nutty malts with hints of rum and a firm hop bitterness that nicely balances the sweet side of this beer. Aftertaste is floral and bitter, and finishes with a toasty edge. Good with grilled chicken, Caesar salad, or stuffing with raisins (and surprisingly, grapes off the vine).
Occupying a large chunk of the northeastern U.S. coast, Maine's ports have long been critical to the shipping trade that has been a vital component of the state's economy since the 1700's. But over time, shipping methods have changed, and some of the great old ports and surrounding realty have fallen into disrepair. In 1992, an entrepreneurial real estate consultant, Fred Forsley, was hired to explore new options for one such troubled retail development in Kennebunk, Maine. The complex was located on the site of three historic 19th century shipyards. Fred felt he could successfully develop and sell a brew pub concept, linked to the shipbuilding history of the town. Never planning to enter the brewing business, he originally set out to sell the developed property to an interested investor. But fate intervened when Fred was introduced to British Master Brewer Alan Pugsley. Schooled and trained in the art of English ale brewing at the renowned Ringwood Brewery in Hampshire, England, under the tutelage of its founder, the legendary Peter Austin, Alan had designed breweries and formulated beers for over 65 well-known brew pubs and microbreweries worldwide, being referred to as "the Johnny Appleseed of Brewing". In the hopes of bringing true English-style ales to America, Alan had recently settled in Maine, bringing with him his extraordinary knowledge of English-style beer making, true English ingredients, and English brewing processes which he had perfected during his tenure with Peter Austin. Realizing the strengths that Alan could bring to a brewing establishment, and seduced by the appeal of the brewing industry, Fred hired Alan as a consultant, and they set sail into brewing history, founding Federal Jack's Brew Pub, the birthplace of The Shipyard ales. Federal Jack's, named for one of the most famous ships built on the site in 1908, quickly rose to local fame, with Fred and Alan seeing consumer demand for The Shipyard's beer soar. Eager to meet the challenge of expansion, they acquired four acres on Portland's historic working waterfront in 1994, with Alan moving out of his consulting role and joining The Shipyard as Master Brewer and part owner. On April 24, 1994 they brewed their first batch of fine hand-crafted ale at their Portland brewery, and have since become the largest brewery in the state of Maine, currently celebrating their 12th year of producing fantastic beers.

Li Fei does not have a reputation as an electric orator and a speech on constitutional issues is hardly the stuff that sets the average school student's heart racing. Photo: HKEJ.
Only a bunch of deluded bureaucrats and equally misguided democrats could possibly have expressed concern over the fact that a (admittedly worrying) speech by Basic Law Committee chairman Li Fei was broadcast live to some 50 schools last Thursday.
Comrade Li does not have a reputation as an electric orator and a speech on constitutional issues is hardly the stuff that sets the average school student's heart racing. The additional fact that Li spoke in Mandarin made it even less likely that close attention was paid, as students had a struggle to understand the language, especially in the stilted and formal style employed by Li.
However, certain members of the democratic camp have got all het up about this on grounds of our old friend "principle". They say that in principle, political indoctrination speeches should not be foisted on school kids and question whether the authorities even had the right to initiate a broadcast of this kind.
The principle of the matter may be important but the reality is that a speech like this is almost certain not to have gained a scintilla of attention from a bunch of school kids forced to watch it when they had far more pressing things on their minds, possibly including finishing off a vital video game or maybe they used the time to think about how much homework was piling up.
However, an indoctrination session may well have provided precisely the push needed to get students to pay more attention to those giving out leaflets arguing the case for Hong Kong independence. The leaflet disseminators have re-emerged recently and were probably met more with puzzlement than interest but when a school forces its students to sit through a lengthy dirge on the Basic Law, it sure helps to ignite the fires of rebellion.
Most students, however, probably greeted this interruption to normal lessons with a shrug of indifference. I base this not only on vague memories of my own ability as a school student to simply switch off when being harangued by some boring teacher but also on my experience as a reporter.
In this context, my most vivid memory is of traveling to Guangzhou shortly after the violent suppression of the 1989 protests in Tiananmen Square. I wanted to find out how these events had impacted a part of the country far removed from Beijing.
I would take a bet that if you asked any of the school students to provide a summary of Li Fei's address, the overwhelming majority would similarly not be able to do so.
This raises the question of why they were subjected to this mind-numbing experience in the first place. Lamentably, the answer is easy to supply because these days the Hong Kong government is displaying a kind of sycophancy that would be amusing if it were not so troubling. Officials who want to get noticed and get promoted know full well that this is most likely to happen if they can think of ways of pleasing their masters in Beijing.
And nothing pleases the masters more than efforts by local sycophants to promote so-called patriotic initiatives. They just love it when one of the kowtowers quotes a Chinese leader, preferably Xi Jinping, or bemoans the lack of patriotic spirit among the young (you can tell this is important because CY Leung is especially assiduous in this regard) but, by and large, they will settle for more or less anything that indicates enthusiasm denoting subservience to the central authorities. The brown nosers are acutely aware of Xi's insistence that the central authorities exercise "comprehensive jurisdiction" over Hong Kong and want to demonstrate their support.
What better way to do this than by insisting that Li Fei's address should be beamed directly into schools? The flag wavers can and will do much worse than this; the democrats should have kept their powder for such an eventuality.

Boat line ideas relieve tension in Woods Hole
JULIA ST. GEORGE STAFF WRITER ,
WOODS HOLE — Though Woods Hole residents and the neighboring Steamship Authority have had a long, uneasy relationship, the ideas that village residents heard earlier this week drew wild cheers - and nary a jeer.
Speaking to the Woods Hole Community Association, Armand L. Tiberio, the Steamship Authority's general manager, hit all the right targets Tuesday night.
"Is there another optional, mainland port (for freight) that we can work out of?" Tiberio said. "I think it's possible."
Bing.
Is this summer's controversial reservations-only plan for cars going to stay, or will Woods Hole again be deluged by cars waiting to travel standby?
Tiberio says fine-tuning is still needed, with continuing input from the Woods Hole and Vineyard business communities, "but I'd like to see it go all-reservations" all year.
Bing, bing.
And what about plans to improve the Woods Hole terminal building and its traffic flow - now a tangle of loading and off-loading freight, milling pedestrians and moving cabs, shuttle vans and buses?
Next year, the Steamship Authority will start a major review of plans to upgrade the aging terminal, with an eye on "giving the terminal back to the community." Tiberio would even like to move the noisy maintenance facility out of the village.
Bing, bing, bing.
"Things have changed tremendously with him here," Thomas Renshaw, co-president of the Woods Hole Community Association, said Tuesday night. "Despite the publicity ... the community is very thankful for what's been done."
Some 70 village residents settled into folding metal chairs in the Old Fire Station for the group's annual meeting.
Residents applauded the selectmen's decision this week to continue the fight to uphold Woods Hole's zoning laws and take its case against the franchise to the state Court of Appeals. Renshaw reiterated the ad hoc Village Preservation Committee is willing to raise funds to help the town pay for appeal.
Members of the ad hoc group and others in the community had hoped the selectmen would appeal the June 27 ruling by Barnstable Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Dolan.
The case was originally brought by the Falmouth Selectmen and Planning Board in an attempt to overturn a special permit issued by the zoning board of appeals that would allow McDonald's to do business out of the Leeside, a two-story wood-shingled building at the foot of Railroad and Luscombe avenues.
Town bylaws prohibit fast-food restaurants in Woods Hole, but John Holland of Mashpee - who operates six McDonald's restaurants on Cape Cod - was given a special permit to open a cafe-style McDonald's that is not considered a fast-food eatery.
And on another front, resident Suzanne Kuffler elicited requests for people to take part in a video she is producing through Falmouth's community access television studio.
Kuffler is gathering comments that will be used in an "open video letter" to the management of BankBoston.
"I think if people can see faces and hear voices it'll have a different impact than letter-writing," Kuffler said.
Bank officials agreed to keep the Woods Hole facility open during the spring and summer and install a night-deposit box for year-round use.

Factory Collapse In Pakistan Kills 9, Traps Dozens
The factory, which manufactured medicine, had been set up illegally in a residential area and caved in after several gas cylinders inside exploded.
Asif Shahzad, Associated Press
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Rescue workers struggled to reach dozens of people trapped in the rubble of a factory that collapsed in an eastern Pakistani city Monday, killing at least nine, officials said.
The factory, which manufactured medicine, was set up illegally in a residential area of Lahore. It caved in after several gas cylinders inside exploded, said the city's deputy commissioner, Ahad Cheema. Authorities had previously closed the factory three times, but each time it reopened.
The factory was owned by a local politician, who used his influence to keep it open despite complaints from neighbors, said local resident Munawar Ali.
Powerful Pakistanis often use their influence to circumvent the law and extract illegal profits.
Records indicate there were around 60 people, including women and children, inside the factory when it collapsed, said Rizwan Naseer, head of the state-run rescue service in Punjab province, of which Lahore is the capital.
The nine dead people who were pulled out included five women, three boys and one adult man, said Naseer. Authorities rescued 11 people, and several others managed to extricate themselves. At least 32 people were still believed to be trapped, he said.
Rescue workers were having a difficult time digging out others under the rubble because the narrow streets around the factory made it hard to get heavy machinery to the site, said Naseer.
A young girl, Shakila Iqrar, wept at the scene as she told reporters that her cousin and older sister were trapped under the huge slabs of concrete.
"There were voices coming from inside, but now they are not coming," said Iqrar. "I want to ask to all of you to please get them out quickly."

How A U.S. Police Killing Triggered The Toppling Of Statues In U.K. And Belgium
By Frank Langfitt,
Teri Schultz
Published June 9, 2020 at 1:02 PM EDT
People look at the pedestal of the toppled statue of Edward Colston in Bristol, England, on Monday, following the downing of the statue on Sunday at a Black Lives Matter protest. Colston was a notorious slave trader — a badge of shame in what is one of Britain's most liberal cities.
The widespread protests that began in the United States are now reverberating through Europe, leading to the removal of two statues in the United Kingdom and one in Belgium with racist, colonial legacies.
On Tuesday evening, officials in London removed a statue associated with Britain's slave trading past. It followed activists toppling a statue in Bristol, England, and authorities in Belgium taking down a monument to a former king.
The moves come after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis set off mass protests across the U.S. and fueled movements against racism in Europe and other parts of the world.
On Sunday, a group at a Black Lives Matter protest toppled the statue of Edward Colston in the southwestern English city of Bristol. They rolled it through the streets and then pushed it into the green waters of the harbor where it promptly sank amid a swirl of bubbles.
It was a dramatic fall — literally and figuratively — for a deeply divisive statue that celebrated Bristol's biggest philanthropist, who made his fortune from the slave trade. In the late 1600s, Colston led Britain's Royal African Company, which transported more than 80,000 enslaved people to the New World in exchange for tobacco, sugar and rum.
In less than an hour and a half on Sunday, the protesters in Bristol succeeded where lobbying and negotiation had failed.
"It was an electrifying atmosphere," said Michael Jenkins, a filmmaker who has been documenting the battle over Colston's place in the city. "I think people just thought, 'Well, today is the day he's got to go.' "
London's Robert Milligan statue
Then on Tuesday morning, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said a commission would review statues and landmarks in the British capital, saying that those with links to slavery should go.
In the evening, local officials removed the statue of Robert Milligan, who in the early 19th century helped build London's West India Docks, which facilitated the trade of sugar and enslaved people.
London was once the world's fourth-largest slaving port.
"I don't condone at all any attacks on our police or any disorder or criminal damage," Khan told Britain's Sky News, "but we've got to recognize that our public realm, statues, squares, street names don't accurately reflect our values, or London, in 2020."
Belgium's King Leopold II
Earlier Tuesday, in the Belgian city of Antwerp, authorities took down a statue of King Leopold II and placed it in a museum. Protesters had burned and vandalized the statue of the Belgian king, whose colonial regime was responsible for the death and mutilation of millions of Congolese people at the turn of the 20th century.
"It's about time [the Leopold statue was removed], because he killed more people than Hitler and he was still there in 2020," said Laura Uwinema, a onetime refugee from Rwanda in Belgium, as she walked by the monument site in Antwerp — now little more than a pile of bricks.
Walking with her two young children, Uwinema said no matter where she would go in the neighborhood, she had to see the towering statue, which she said was "torture."
"I'm so happy! I hope all the Leopold II's will go away," she said.
The authorities acted faster than anyone predicted, according to Belgian historian Idesbald Goddeeris. "These processes are very gradual and what will happen in the short term is a polarization of society, which is very unfortunate, of course," he said.
I grew up in Bristol. I detest how Edward Colston profited from the slave trade.
But, THIS IS NOT OK.
If Bristolians wants to remove a monument it should be done democratically - not by criminal damage. https://t.co/Wfz47zQQZU
— Sajid Javid (@sajidjavid) June 7, 2020
Bristol "was getting nowhere"
Activists in Bristol have spent years trying to either remove Edward Colston's name from institutions in the city or at least provide historical context to his complicated role. The statue, which was erected in 1895, had a plaque that described Colston as one of Bristol's "most virtuous and wise sons." In 2018, the local government considered a second plaque to acknowledge Colston's role in perpetuating the slave trade.
"This, you would think, would be quite a good way, a straightforward way of saying, 'he's still here, but he did bad things,' " said Kate Williams, a British historian. "But unfortunately, it then proved impossible for the council to find a wording that everyone could agree on."
Among other things, the proposed wording for the new plaque said Colston played "an active role in the enslavement of over 84,000 Africans (including 12,000 children) of whom over 19,000 died en route to the Caribbean and America." It added that: "Bristolians who did not subscribe to his religious and political beliefs were not permitted to benefit from his charities."
Williams said Colston supporters, including an organization called the Society of Merchant Venturers, wanted to remove the reference to children and focus more on Colston's philanthropy, which included funding for schools, hospitals and the local concert hall.
"The city was getting nowhere," Williams recalled.
In the end, the fate of Colston's statue was not resolved by consensus in Bristol, but by a killing on a sidewalk six time zones away in Minneapolis. The death of George Floyd reminded people here of the United Kingdom's struggles with racism, its role in the slave trade as well as its imperial history, which continues to divide Britons.
"Enough was enough"
Clive Lewis, a member of parliament in Britain's opposition Labour Party, said if not for Floyd's killing, Colston's statue would still be standing today. "I think that the George Floyd protests sparked something around the world, something that had been brewing for a long time," said Lewis, who is black. "Part of the tinder was the COVID-19 lockdown [and] the unemployment. Now, you're at a point where what happens to George Floyd means people felt enough was enough."
Lewis and many other politicians said they wished the statue had been removed through a legitimate, democratic process. Priti Patel, Britain's hard-line home secretary and member of the ruling Conservative party, called the toppling an act of vandalism. Sajid Javid, another Conservative Party member who also served as home secretary, agreed.
"I grew up in Bristol," Javid wrote on Twitter. "I detest how Edward Colston profited from the slave trade. But, THIS IS NOT OK. If Bristolians [want] to remove a monument it should be done democratically - not by criminal damage."
Bristol police are pursuing the people who tore down Colston's statue. Marvin Rees, the mayor of Bristol, is also encouraging Sunday's protest crowds to socially isolate given the ongoing pandemic. Rees, who is also black, said he saw the statue as a personal affront, but intends to have the city fish it out of the harbor and probably put it in a museum.
"What's happened to the statue is now a part of the city's history," Rees told Sky News, "a part of that statue's story."
Some in Bristol, though, would prefer the statue remain at the bottom of the harbor.
"I think it's such an appropriate, rusty, watery, undignified grave for Colston," said Katie Finnegan-Clarke, who helped found Countering Colston, which lobbies for the removal of Colston's name from Bristol's institutions.
Finnegan-Clarke says she doesn't want her tax money paying for a heated room to display the statue. Nor does she have faith the city will finally present the full story around Colston.
"I don't trust them to contextualize it properly," said Finnegan-Clarke. "Up to now, they've completely messed it up every time."

Q: Group table and create measure based on parameter from different rows bit new to dax and I am struggling in creating a formula.
So I need to write a mathematical calculation which =+(E4+Mx6)/2*33  for the East Silo on the same date and time only.

So the first one would be 07/11/2022 4:30 am calculation (4+4)/2*33
I tried doing the calculation but i couldn't figure out how to calculate based on the same date field

A: You can do it in Power Query

*

*Mark your Parameter and Value columns

*Transform - Pivot them

*Add custom column from the new [E4] and [Mx6] columns

M-code should look like this:
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(
    #"Changed Type", List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Parameter]), "Parameter", "Value", List.Sum),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(
    #"Pivoted Column", "Custom", each ([E4]+[Mx6]) / 2 * 33)

A: If you want to solve it in DAX, use this measure:
Math =
VAR tbl =
    SUMMARIZE(
        'Table',
        'Table'[Datetime],
        'Table'[Silo],
        "E4", CALCULATE(
                SUM('Table'[Value]),
                'Table'[Parameter] = "E4"
            ),
        "Mx6", CALCULATE(
                SUM('Table'[Value]),
                'Table'[Parameter] = "Mx6"
            )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX(
        tbl,
        ([E4] + [Mx6]) / 2 * 33
    )


» System provides new mobility in what has become the world's densest unwalkable city.
Today, Dubai will open the first phase of its Red Line Metro, bringing the first advanced transit system to the United Arab Emirates. The 32-mile long project runs along Sheikh Zayed Road and parallel to the waterfront, connecting downtown with the city's artificial palm-shaped islands and reaching most of the new skyscraper districts that have come to define Dubai's look. Yet with the economic crisis, the legendary traffic and population growth that plagued the city until as recently as last year are nowhere to be found and, as a result, the Metro's effectiveness won't be clear until the next market upswing. But the design of the transit network and the city as a whole put into question whether anything can be done to tame Dubai's notoriously unfriendly pedestrian environment.
The Metro project's price increased rapidly during four years of construction, eventually reaching $7.6 billion. These monumental costs have strained the Emirate city-state's finances, which are already mired in debt as a result of years of speculative real estate development. But the Red Line is just the first of five planned lines; the 12-mile Green Line, which will intersect with the Red Line at two locations, will open next summer. A Purple Line connecting the city's two airports is currently on hold. Only a new property boom will allow the city to fully implement its transit plans.
In several ways, the Dubai Metro represents the next generation of transit technologies, offering its users conveniences and comforts seen nowhere else in the world. Each of the Red Line's 29 stations are fully climate-controlled and have track-side platform doors, a feature becoming the standard in the industry. At Union Square station underground downtown, direct cross-platform transfers will be offered between the Red and Green Lines once the latter line opens next year. Five-car trains manufactured by Kinki Sharyo, builder of light rail trains for Sound Transit and Valley Metro, are fully automatized and driverless. Each will offer three classes of service divided by carriage, with the Gold Class offering leather seats and wifi and the Silver Class providing private areas for women and children — a feature shared by the Cairo Metro. Despite its huge growth in recent years, the city-state in some ways remains attached to its Islamic fundamentalist traditions.
Dubai's planners estimate 600,000 daily users by the end of the year and 1.8 million by 2020, when the full network is expected to open. Those forecasts seem optimistic for a city of 2.3 million unless the city's growth streak resumes its pre-crisis momentum. But even if the legendary traffic jams on Sheikh Zayed Road are a thing of the past, the Metro will offer fast service to the city's primary destinations, covering the route in just over an hour, with frequencies of abound three minutes. One even wonders if the five-car trains are too short to handle the city's eventual capacity needs — despite the downturn, Dubai has successfully positioned itself as the trade center of the Middle East. The airport has quadrupled passenger movements in the past ten years alone.
But the Metro's design is inherently incapacitated by the city's layout. The reliance on Sheikh Zayed Road for virtually all cross-city traffic — it's a fourteen-lane highway — has led to the construction of skyscrapers, malls, and resorts along its spine, which in turn have been built to meet the needs of drivers, not pedestrians. This is not a place through which to walk around comfortably.
The Red Line Metro's path is mostly elevated in the median or to the side of that highway, meaning that getting to stations requires crossing the road in enclosed bridges. The rail system's stops are quite beautiful, with golden roof-lines and fantastic interior circulation systems, but they will be out of the direct reach of most of the major buildings in the city. Compounding matters is Dubai's relentless heat, which can reach up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the summers. The 1/2-mile radius on which American planners typically rely to design transit-oriented districts does not really apply here, because people will not want to be outside for much time at all, let alone on shadeless, empty streets. As a result, a majority of people using the Metro will take taxis or buses to their final destinations rather than walk there.
Could the Metro have been designed with more walkability in mind? Perhaps: it could have been dug under some of the skyscraper districts to provide direct access to buildings. But that would have added significant costs and likely extended the completion timeline by years.
The Metro does have some definitive merits — its downtown stations are located underground and bus connections will be provided at every stop. But the city's administration has yet to rethink the manner in which the region is developing, even with the completion of the first phase of the Metro. This comes in opposition to Abu Dhabi, the neighboring emirate, which has spent the last few years developing a comprehensive plan to rebuild the city in a way that promotes livable, walkable neighborhoods oriented around a new metro and tramway system. Dubai's Metro may attract high ridership, but it won't make the city much of a nicer place to be, because the old modes of auto-focused construction will remain the de facto standard.

Makes me want to become a transportation engineer even more!
Because this is Dubai, the "Gold" and "Silver" classes can be taken literally, while the "Cattle" class can also be taken literally.

Mass Effect 3 is a single-player Roleplaying video game developed by BioWare. It is the conclusion of the Mass Effect trilogy, bringing to a close the story of the main character Commander Shepard as s/he attempts to defeat the threat of the Reapers.
Not everyone will survive. An ancient alien race, known only as "Reapers," has launched an all-out invasion leaving nothing but a trail of destruction in their wake. Earth has been taken, the galaxy is on the verge of total annihilation, and you are the only one who can stop them. The price of failure is extinction. You are Commander Shepard, a character that you can forge in your own image. You determine how events will play out, which planets to explore, and whom to form alliances with as you rally a force to eliminate the Reaper threat once and for all.

A fan-created image about the ME3 ending.
Many fans were unhappy by the way the Mass Effect 3, and by extension the entire series, ended. After the game's release, fans gathered on sites such as Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, the BioWare Social Network, and the /v/ board of 4chan to share opinions about the conclusion.
While responses were varied, the majority seemed to feel that the final product did meet the standards that the developers themselves set.[1] Around the middle of March 2012, a BioWare Social Network user named cato_84 started a thread that contained pre-release quotes from key BioWare staff.
Whether or not you enjoyed the conclusion to Mass Effect 3 (personally I feel it tarnished an otherwise masterful series) please take a look at the pre-release quotes below from websites and interviews with the game's developers, writers and producers. ... I believe Bioware can be legitimately accused of, at best, fudging the truth if not outright deceit given the inconsistency between notions of choice, closure etc. expressed before the game was released and the ending as it currently stands.[2]
First few posts of a ME3 thread on 4chan.
Retake Mass Effect and Child's Play
Retake Mass Effect was founded to unite disappointed fans and put a positive spin on the protest by donating to Child's Play.[3] As of March 20, 2012, over $70,000 was raised.
The Retake Mass Effect - Child's Play donation drive is a community driven effort to bring positive attention to our petition for an alternate ending to the fantastic Mass Effect series. The Child's Play charity was chosen as a charity started by gamers to provide video games for the patients at Children's Hospitals all over the world. We would like to dispel the perception that we are angry or entitled. We simply wish to express our hope that there could be a different direction for a series we have all grown to love.[4]
This attempt to raise awareness came to an ignominious conclusion: some donators demanded refunds from PayPal with the excuse that they believed they were funding the actual ending, not donating to a charity. This lead Jerry Holkins of Penny Arcade and Child's Play to make a statement regarding his charity:[5][6]
Apparently some of the people giving to the cause seemed to think that they were paying for a new ending to Mass Effect. [The charity's contact] been asked what the goal is, and how much they need to raise in order to get the ending produced. We've also been contacted by PayPal due to a high number of people asking for their donations back. ...I actually support this cause, but I am a pessimist, and I'm thinking about the next time something like this happens - when someone attaches Child's Play to something we can't get behind, or leverages your history of generosity and fellow feeling for their own weird bullshit. So, we need to have something like a policy on this. This is the best way I can think to say it: Child's Play cannot be a tool to draw attention to a cause. Child's Play must be the Cause.[7]
Other fans were not so charitable: BioWare Forum user named El_Spiko filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Committee as well as with the Better Business Bureau, and urged other fans to do the same.[8]
This is not somethign I was happy to do, but after the terrible ending that was in no way the product that had been advertised to me and the lack of any kind of response from Bioware/EA to address this, I felt it was one of my only recourses. I'll be returning my copy of the game before the end of my 30 day return policy if the ending still hasn't been addressed by then.[9]
Game Front, a gaming site for reviews and news, posted an article on March 13, 2012 about why unhappy fans are justified.
5) Brevity ...We would never suggest that BioWare's job is to be nothing more than an infodump for nit-picky fans, but after 5 years and hundreds of hours, Mass Effect 3 players deserved more than a text message urging them to buy more content. 4) It is Confusing and Under-Developed - ...Players are rightly unhappy to see it end as nothing but a series of forced choices justified by tautological platitudes. 3) Lore Errors, Plot Holes 2) Key Philosophical Themes Are Discarded 1) Player Choice Is Completely Discarded ...In short, players are provided with nothing remotely close to the unique, personal experience they were promised.[10]
The Indoctrination Theory
The Indoctrination Theory is a fan-created theory that some people believes explains the game's conclusion. In short, this theory proposes that the main character, Commander Shephard, essentially hallucinated the final scenes and relies on a meta-interpretation. This is used to defend the ending and fills the plot holes that some fans feel were created, or at least left unresolved, by the conclusion. The first post on the subject seems to be byne on the BioWare Social Network. As of March 20, 2012, the post has received 760 pages of comments.
Does this theory make sense? Maybe not. When we consider BioWare's real-world motivations and risks (profit, losing a large fanbase over the disgusting wretchedness of the endings as they currently exist), then the theory is hard to support. But if, for just one moment, we can let ourselves believe that BioWare may just have lived up to their celebrated philiosophy of Player Choice and Player Acutalization, then this theory becomes awe-inspiring. Is it possible? Could BioWare have sacrificed the potential for safe profits in order to bring the most insane and beautiful gaming experience of all time to its fans? The most unprecedented example of player immersion of our times? Would BioWare have truly allowed the risk for profit and angering a serious amount of their fan population in pure deference to the story, and its lore?
It may explain BioWare's silence on the matter, until "more people have played the game", or until all regions have the game. It may explain Jess M.'s twitter about fans "reacting before having all of the facts". It may.... just may explain these super sh*tty endings in a way that would make BioWare the God of RPGs. Is it likely? No. Am I reaching, insanely? Yes. But is it possible? Yes.[11]
Tumblr used uninhibitedandunrepentant posted his/her support of the theory:
We, the players, were indoctrinated right alongside Shepard. And by sitting here and demanding that we have a different ending, we acknowledging that something is wrong. Something is broken. Something is not right. But instead of thinking that Bioware has done this deliberately to us, we swung immediately into rage and hate and slammed them for the decision. We are raging that Bioware betrayed our trust. But we didn't trust them. I, myself, am guilty of this. And now that I sit back and think about it, about the games, about Bioware, all I can say is if that this is right, if this is what Bioware intended… If the true ending is yet to come… [12]
BioWare Response
BioWare developers made a post to the Mass Effect Facebook page on March 18, 2012 with a response that they were aware of the fans' responses and had not "ruled out" anything.
We are aware that there are concerns about a recent post from this account regarding the ending of the game. In this post it was stated that at this time we do not have plans to change the ending. ...We would like to clarify that we are actively and seriously taking all player feedback into consideration and have ruled nothing out. At this time we are still collecting and considering your feedback and have not made a decision regarding requests to change the ending.[13]
On March 21, 2012, one of the BioWare founders Dr. Ray Muzyka made a statement on the BioWare blog directly addressing the ending controversy.[14]
As co-founder and GM of BioWare, I'm very proud of the ME3 team; I personally believe Mass Effect 3 is the best work we've yet created. So, it's incredibly painful to receive feedback from our core fans that the game's endings were not up to their expectations. Our first instinct is to defend our work and point to the high ratings offered by critics – but out of respect to our fans, we need to accept the criticism and feedback with humility.[15]
Muzyka also addressed what he called "destructive commentary" from fans; this may have been in part inspired by the abuse writer Jennifer Hepler received in February 2012.
Some of the criticism that has been delivered in the heat of passion by our most ardent fans, even if founded on valid principles, such as seeking more clarity to questions or looking for more closure, for example – has unfortunately become destructive rather than constructive. We listen and will respond to constructive criticism, but much as we will not tolerate individual attacks on our team members, we will not support or respond to destructive commentary.[16]

Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, has approved the formation of five Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) for the 82 Division of Nigerian Army in Enugu State. Meanwhile, troops of Operation Lafiya Dole have killed 16 Boko Haram insurgents and recovered ammunition along Mairari FOB in Monguno council of Borno State.
Deputy Director, Public Relations, Theatre Command of Operation Lafiya Dole, Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, stated yesterday in Maiduguri that the insurgents infiltrated Mairari on Friday with three vehicles, including gun trucks, and attacked by 6.50pm. The fierce encounter with the terrorists lasted six hours.News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the five new FOBs will be located at the stretch of the Nigerian border from Taraba to Bakassi, which falls under the Division's Areas of Responsibility.
Maj.-Gen. Adamu Abubakar, General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division, told NAN yesterday in Enugu that the FOBs would greatly help to improve security within the border areas known as flash points.He lauded the COAS for his vision and forthrightness in approving the FOBs to immediately take care of external incursions in the border areas.
"So far, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. T.Y. Buratai, has approved the formation of Forward Operating Bases (FOBs). Currently, we have five; one in Ikang, one in Ekang, one in Danari, one in Mfum, and we will soon bring up one in Kashimbila.
"I assure Nigerians that that stretch from Taraba up to Bakassi, that is Ikang, is safe," he said.On internal security, the GOC noted that the division had helped the police and civil authorities to ensure that organised and violent crimes were reduced to the barest minimum.
According to Nwachukwu, immediately after the attack, the locals also alerted troops at the FOB.He said the troops, supported by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), responded swiftly and neutralised the 16 insurgents.
The gun trucks, he added, were however abandoned, as the insurgents tried to escape from the superior firepower of soldiers."During the encounter, the gallant troops also recovered 163 rounds of anti-aircraft gun," said Nwachukwu.
FOB has been further reinforced with additional troops, while fighting patrols are on the trail of fleeing insurgents towards Lake Chad Island and Abadam Forest."He urged the people to remain vigilant and report any suspicious person or activity, while they go about their normal businesses.

How I feel at the moment. At last I accept 'Biddy' status, having looked up Cumbrian slang – and yes, ' biddy' is an old woman. So – I have to accept I am old.
I don't feel old, despite looking after my gorgeous grandchildren aged 6 and 9yrs, and welcoming my neighbour's 9 year-old niece into my home and listening to her confident view of the world, where she corrected her Aunt on a number of counts. [Her Aunt is a Staff nurse at an A&E section in a very busy hospital] – I now feel that after so many years of life on earth, I've learned nothing. In my favour, nor has her aunt. But, that's OK. Life is a learning process whatever age you are. That much I've learned.
Today's happiness has been to be walking, running, throwing balls over the Strays, over the fields, and through the woods of Harrogate and the Crimple Valley with my dog, Beth. What more can life, 'to be' be.
so, my new website, when it has been sorted, will be as the Scribbling Giddy Biddy – because, after so many years of life on earth, this is what I want to be, – a persona that makes me laugh. Laughter is the greatest relief of stress, and the greatest and joyful act. My life with Jim and Beth is full of laughter, – what more can I want in life. What more can anyone want.
Our life is simple, growing our own fruit and veg on our allotment, inviting insects in through wild flowers and a moorland patch, walking miles each day with our Springer SpanielXBorder Collie, Beth, and following folk music, [mainly Scottish – though Gordie MacKeenan from St Rupert Islands, Canada, was brilliant, and Runrig – Oh! to miss their Final Mile – we did go to Manchester to hear them.
In the middle of harvesting from the allotment – for autumn and winter. Busy time of year. Life is the most beautiful experience.

I'm 12 hours away from heading home to the US after seven wonderful days down under. I will write another blog post on the social/personal side of the trip, including making new friends and exploring new parts of Australia. For now, I want to talk about the business side.
The inaugural AusLUG was a huge success. 232 delegates attended, 90% of those registered and more than I have seen for any of the inaugural community-organized LUGs. The organising committee did a wonderful job. They really did come close to a Lotusphere-like experience, down to backpacks and karaoke. Not only did this group of people volunteer their time, some also contributed financially to the event's success. You just could not have seen a more supportive effort than what went into building AusLUG.
The Twitter stream for #AUSLUG captured much of the feel of the event. It also captured some of the discussion topics. I did let the local audience in on a few sneak previews of upcoming news, but I can't put those hints in writing yet. Still, my presentation is now available on SlideShare.net.
View more presentations from Ed Brill.
I also did a podcast locally this week on what it means to be a social business. The podcaster is Lee Hopkins, and the podcast [20-ish minutes] is posted here. I really enjoyed Lee's style and interaction, not just a journalistic Q&A but rather an actual discussion of the topic. Well worth a listen.
Adoption of the latest version of Notes/Domino, along with other ICS solutions like Connections and Sametime, is higher here than I have seen elsewhere. Maybe it was just the customers I came in contact with, but I was impressed.
The local tech sales team put together an amazing demo lab a AusLUG, including everything from SUT to Connections. I am not sure how they managed to do that in a roadshow format. Nice job team.
Vaughan Rivett has joined IBM recently and is the IBM Collaboration sales lead in New Zealand. I had the opportunity to attend a customer meeting with Vaughan this week and several other discussions. I know that in the Lotus community, Vaughan's past blogging has sometimes been viewed as provocative and even abrasive. The guy I met in person this week is a passionate evangelist for his product portfolio, with an excellent understanding of both business and technical. We went to a customer meeting together on Wednesday (one where the CEO of the client was already following me on Twitter!), and the meeting turned into something a little different than we expected. Vaughan brought out Louis Richardson's "Ideas at Work" presentation (which I also used at DominoPoint.it) and gave a flawless pitch to a large audience. Even as the ranking executive in the meeting, I had to do little to keep the discussion on the proper course, and we had a good result out of the meeting (and a very good dinner with the customer later). Anyway, I am proud to now have Vaughan on the IBM team.
The Australian market is abuzz with Yammer. Almost every meeting I was in, someone mentioned Yammer. However, I also heard from my colleagues that Yammer is a great lead generation tool for IBM Connections. They talk to customers who have had a taste of social business through Yammer then wake up concerned about data privacy, governance, access control, etc. Still, I was surprised, as I have not heard that much about Yammer before this trip.
A few customers I met this week admitted they have rolled out more recent versions of Notes without sufficient end user training and documentation. Features remain undiscovered in some of these environments. I hope we can help with this.
XPages was everywhere this week. 20% of the conference delegates stayed an extra day to attend XPages workshops, and all the partners sponsoring/exhibiting said they were doing XPages work. I think XPages as a mobile application interface is starting to come into its own as well, with several of the partners I spoke with saying that this is their next focus area.
It has been two years since my previous visit to Oz, yet I feel like I didn't miss a beat. The next AusLUG is planned for March, 2012.... for sure, I will plan to be back.

Talking, listening, learning, understanding – then working. Dealing with a copywriter is a pretty straightforward process.
A good copywriter is as keen as you are to get a great job done first time. I'm here to make your website text, homepage, landing pages, brochures, product descriptions and blog posts work harder for you. To make what you say on your website reach people and lead them in.
Think you can't afford to work with a copywriter? When your competitors are using great headlines, hot copy and incisive calls-to-action, you can't afford not to work with one. It's an investment.
How will you have found me? Online, by a search? Through a networking group, a freelancing site or a forum? Or maybe I was mentioned by a friend? Either way, you know you need a copywriter for your project. I'm here, we're talking, and I can help you.
You can drop me an email, give me a quick call, connect on LinkedIn or send me a singing gorillagram if you like. But we'll get the ball rolling.
The first stage in the process is always about talking and listening. Finding out more about you, your business and your goals for the project. I'll ask you some initial questions that cover the basics, give me a broad understanding of what you need and an idea of the timescale.
From this information, I will give you a rough quote for the job. Every business is different – pre-set packages and off-the-peg solutions very rarely fit properly, and your website is as important as a bespoke suit – but I do have a guide to general costs here.
If all feels good to you at this point, then we can agree and move forward.
What happens next may depend on the size of the job. If it's just a straightforward, specific project we both understand, like a single landing page, article, case study, script, press release, or simple brochure, then we'll likely proceed straight to an email to confirm the scope or proposal, and a deal memo.
If it's a bigger project like a copy for a full website, and extended brochure, or copy for a suite of deliverables, then we'll move to a discovery session where we work on the creative brief.
I have a Creative Brief form that covers the relevant questions to understand you, your product or service, your market and your aims for the copy. I can send the form to you to complete in your own time, or we can go through it together on the phone. Either way, I'll make sure I get all the information I need from you to do the job.
Pretty much everything I do these days is handled over email, phone, Skype or online, and we won't have a face-to-face meeting (unless you live up the road, in which case, why not!).
Nailing the basics and the details will really help to understand your aims and goals for the project, however simple or in-depth. And one question can lead to another. We might discover something that neither of us had thought of yet that could really help your project.
We've gone over the project and I've got a good grasp of what you need. The next stage is for me to sum up what we've discussed and issue a contract or deal memo.
A summary of the work to be done and deliverables.
Possible time line of work – start date, milestones or sections if applicable, and final completion.
A quotation for the project.
I'll also ask how you want the final finished copy (the deliverable), if you haven't already let me know. Do you want it as a Word doc? Or in a Google doc? Or just plain text?
If all is good with you, I'll then send over a contract, or an email deal memo if it's a smaller job. Don't worry, it's not your soul you're signing away. The contract outlines the schedule as discussed and goes over the terms to do with payment, copyright, revisions and cancellation.
I'll need a 50% deposit to secure your start date and begin work. With a deposit, I can confidently decline other projects for that time period and concentrate on getting your job done. I'll send an invoice with the contract or deal memo; the simplest and best way to pay is by online bank transfer.
Getting the content right is as much to do with the research and thought as it is about the actual writing.
Before writing anything, I'll look at your company, your product or service, your background and your competitors. What problem do you solve and how do you solve it? What's unique about you? What makes you different and stand out?
But even more important is looking into your customers, users or readers. What are they saying about your product or service, and how are they saying it? How do they feel about it?
There are many sources of information for this – from organic search results to forums, reviews, testimonials and customer feedback. There really is no substitute for digging into this goldmine of information. I like it so much, I wrote this blog post about it.
I study the words and language your audience is thinking and talking in themselves, and use it right back at them, to your advantage.
So, now we've gone over your needs and worked out the goals for the project. I've outlined what I'll do and done the research. Now I'll get to work.
You'll be glad to know I don't sit around waiting for inspiration to strike. I work to deadlines and costs just like you do, and sit at the keyboard making it happen. My favourite part is always creating the initial elements: headings that hook people in, and the perfect opening sentences on each page.
After I've worked on the opening sections, and before going too far down the line, I'll send it over to you to make sure I'm on the right track. You might love how it's looking, in which case that's great! But if you have any reservations, then we can deal with it at this stage in the process and save us both a lot of time and hassle.
Quite often, my first draft is also the final draft! Happily, most clients like what I've written for them and we move forward to tying things up.
But a first draft is always a first draft, and it's common to spot something worth changing after leaving it alone for a day or so.
They key point is first draft is your opportunity to give feedback and suggest any changes. I aim to get things spot-on first time, but it's normal for a copywriter to make a few amendments and edits on the initial piece.
I allow for two rounds of revisions as part of the deal. But here's a big tip: hold back one of those revisions for after the copy has gone into the design. There is often something that needs tweaking once you've had a chance to see it in place.
Again, we'd do this via email, Skype or on the phone. All revisions should be advised within 14 days of your receipt of the first draft of copy, to keep it all within the project. After that, additional rewrites may be made for an additional charge.
I write my copy with mark-ups (indicating h1, h2, body text, sections and notes), but can also draft a quick wire-frame of how I see the copy's presentation. Your designer or website developer will be free to apply their talents, and your web pages will soon be good to go.
If you and your team are happy, then we can call the job complete! We'll exchange quick mutual back-patting emails and you'll settle the final 50% of the invoice. Once paid, all copyright on the material reverts to you and you can use it and distribute it as you wish.
Because I'm proud of my work, I only have one favour to ask – that I can include the project as part of my online portfolio. This would include a screenshot of the most suitable page and a reproduction of the text as delivered, plus usually a link to your site. An extra backlink for your website is always useful when it comes to SEO!
So, drop me a line by email, or call me for a quick chat, and we'll see what can be done. Once I've got a handle on it, I'll be able to give you a quote for the job by email and then, if you're happy, we can start the process.
I price projects by the job or project, so that you and me both know where we stand regarding cost.
No two projects are exactly the same, and so neither are many quotes. Feel free to drop me an email about your project and I'll do a beer-mat estimate.
I generally don't work on an hourly rate, as it often leads to fears that costs will spiral out of control and/or a desire to control the writer's time to a minimum. Both of which will lead to a bad job and a poor working relationship. This said, I do believe in horses for courses and we can talk about what works best for both of us.
I definitely don't charge by the word. That would be an incentive for a less-competent copywriter to needlessly pack out their copy with words. And a less-ethical client would try to make their copywriter keep it as brief as possible, no matter how much time they've spent on research, planning and editing. It's just wrong.
In the end, I'm being paid to think, not to type.
Generally, I can get onto a brief pretty quickly. I would aim to get back to you with a first draft, or a general outline for a longer project, a few days after we've gone over the brief. Sometimes, I'm already busy on projects and will need a week or two before beginning yours. Check in with me to find out a current time-scale. Obviously, if time is an issue for either of us, we can flag it up.
You get two rounds of re-writes or amendments (if they're needed!) as part of the deal.
If you're not far away, absolutely. But let's have a quick call or email first, to get a handle on the job.
Do you need a new website or an upgrade? I work closely with a talented web designer/developer, specialising in responsive websites, WordPress and logo design. They'll be able to give you a favourable quote for a high-quality job.
Working on your website content hand-in-hand with the design will result in a more unified website and a better experience for your users. You'll make people feel like you knew what they wanted before they got there. A quick chat with me could result in a 360-degree solution for your company's online presence.
In the end, you need to stand out from the crowd in a world where people send over 205 billion emails and businesses or individuals launch around 50,000 WordPress sites every day.
For a quick insight into how I can work with your website text to make it better and appeal to people more, check out my blog post on the subject.
Any decent copywriter will have a document for their terms & conditions, and I'm no different. You can read through them here.

Q: Creating Vertex Shader I have problem when creating vertex shader, it popup this error:
Image
After some time I realized that D3DX11CompileFromFile is not working and it does not compile.
Here is my code:
    void InitPipeline()
{
    // load and compile the two shaders
    ID3D10Blob *VS, *PS;
    D3DX11CompileFromFile("Shaders.shader", NULL, NULL, "VShader", "vs_4_0", 0, 0, 0, &VS, 0, 0);
    D3DX11CompileFromFile("Shaders.shader", NULL, NULL, "PShader", "ps_4_0", 0, 0, 0, &PS, 0, 0);

    // encapsulate both shaders into shader objects
    dev->CreateVertexShader(VS->GetBufferPointer(), VS->GetBufferSize(), 0, &pVS);
    dev->CreatePixelShader(PS->GetBufferPointer(), PS->GetBufferSize(), 0, &pPS);

    // set the shader objects
    devcon->VSSetShader(pVS, 0, 0);
    devcon->PSSetShader(pPS, 0, 0);

    // create the input layout object
    D3D11_INPUT_ELEMENT_DESC ied[] =

Ranked in the Top 4 Best in Essex
A challenging 18 hole championship parkland course designed by James Braid and ranked in the top 5 best in Essex by top100golfcourses.co.uk.
Can You Hit the Smallest Championship Green in England?
The 5thhole at West Essex is a short downhill par three where you are trying to land your ball on what is considered to be the smallest green in England. Called the 'the Frying Pan' by the members, the old stroke saver book says it is a circular green 18 yards wide but when SkyCaddie turned up, their technology measured it as only being 14 yards wide (about 154 sq yards). The 8thhole at Royal Troon, known as the postage stamp, is only about 10 yards wide but is 30 yards long (around 300 sq yards). So the 5that West Essex is about half the size of the postage stamp.
Spectacular Views of London Landmarks
At several locations there are spectacular views, including the O2 Millennium Dome, the Olympic Stadium & Canary Wharf; the Shard and the Gherkin in the City; the London Eye, the BT Tower and the Wembley Stadium Arch.
This Course Makes You a Better Golfer
The shorter front nine provides a test of accuracy with tree lined fairways meandering through the forest. You will have to play shots above and below your feet, uphill, downhill, over hedges, under branches and between the trees. By contrast, the back nine is flatter, longer, open and forgiving, so you can really let go. All the way round, you are trying to hit small greens, which will hone your approach shots and short game. Finally, you learn to putt on greens built to USGA standards, which are often sloping.
Proof that playing West Essex regularly makes you a better golfer is evidenced by the number of championship winning golfers and teams the course has produced. For example, our juniors were Champions of England and the Home Nations Champions 2011
Extensive Practice Facilities
Before your game, come and warm up on our large grass driving range with covered area, putting green and pitching / chipping green with bunkers. If you become a member, you get free access to a four acre grass practice area, as well.
Scorecards for the Course
Tees Yards Par SSS
White 6,289 71 71
Yellow 6,024 71 70
Red 5,627 72 0
Click here to view the Scorecards in more detail
Hole by Hole Tour
Founded as a members' Club in 1900, West Essex was designed by James Braid and is a challenging parkland course measuring 6,324 yards from the medal tees.
The shorter front nine provides a test of accuracy with tree lined fairways that meander through the picturesque and undulating countryside. At its highest point, the 9th tee offers some panoramic views over the City of London.

Gone by Daylight, Here To Stay
Lex Pistols 06/26/2012 Music 3 Comments on Gone by Daylight, Here To Stay
THE FRUITS OF THE ROCK n' ROLL TREE OF LIFE… WHAT SEEDS ARE BEING SEWN FOR THE FATE OF ROCK n' ROLL? FIND OUT HERE AS NEWCOMERS GONE BY DAYLIGHT ARE SET TO TAKE OVER STAGES AND SPEAKERS EVERYWHERE!!
Meet the boys, pictured from left to right:
Shaanan King: Drums
Eric Paquette: Lead Vocals and Guitar
Jordan King: Bass, Backing Vocals
Jeff Lynch: Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals
For those who have had their head stuck under a floorboard, or in the corner of a dive bar listening to a band that nobody wants to know on their ipod because they think it's cool, or it looks "fashionable," back in 2011 Dave Grohl was receiving an award in London for "Godlike Genius" at the NME awards. More recently, Guns N' Roses was inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame for all they have contributed to Rock n' Roll. Despite the fact that Axl Rose rejected this sentiment, it is arguable that his band gave the world the most impacting debut Rock n' Roll album of all existence.
The irony of these two events is that just about 20 years ago, there was a historic feud between Axl Rose's band Guns N' Roses, and Dave Grohl's band at the time, Nirvana. For those that don't know the story behind this, Nirvana – along with several other relative bands – were part of a movement that came about as a deliberate attempt to "resist" the "Rock n' Roll of the establishment" as Kurt Cobain put it, that were the likes of Guns N' Roses. The cruel twist of fate here is, that in pigeon-holing himself as a figurehead of an "anti- establishment Rock n' Roll machine," the seemingly recluse Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain publicly BECAME that very machine he sought out to destroy. Poor martyr. Rest his soul. History is sometimes a very cruel teacher, so if you learn nothing more from this example, know that whenever you label yourself, that label may as well come with an expiration date- because ripe fruit can't stay fresh forever. If it wasn't for the "Rock n' Roll of the establishment," Nirvana would never have existed. Ironic isn't it . . . Don'tcha think? Evolution is an inevitable process; everything will inevitably change over time. The lesson to be learned from this is: don't be quick to label yourselves kiddies, just play some fuckin' Rock n' Roll!!!!
In our premiere issue, I am pleased to expose the world to Gone By Daylight: a group of New England boys from Massachusetts who are a perfect example of the traditional school of successful Rock n' Roll that gave you music without self-proclaimed labels and devoid of boundaries. These boys capture a time when Rock n' Roll was music you could FEEL, because it was being played with pure feeling, dedication, drive, and last but not least: VOLUME!!!! These were times when something as simple as The Beatles's "Yeeeah Yeaaah Yeeeah" in a song would stay in your head for weeks and become the most memorable part of the song, because it was so SIMPLE – yet effective, and HONEST.
Sometimes the simplest "Ohhh oh, OHHH Ow" can be the best part of the song if its harmonized right. This is done well in tracks like "Gotta Get Out," (featured below) where the message is so clear cut, but presented in the most decorated way. It's just flawless musicianship, and digestible songwriting. It's respectable for a trained musician to appreciate it, and approachable enough for a listener to relate to it. The stage presence chemistry that these boys have Marie Curie couldn't theorize. They're so LIVE, and the live sound is so engulfing, more so than the actual studio recordings; therein lies the true test of talent. It's only a matter of time before these boys inevitably erupt in the face of the Rock n' Roll music scene anywhere Rock n' Roll is present.
The encapsulating harmonies of lead singer Eric Paquette will take control of your mood like a dose of Scopolamine. You'll just hear it one time, and you'll be submerged in harmonies that place you at the most intense point of the rising action in a motion picture; it's that BIG. Also prominent is the heavy guitar carnage throughout songs like "Gotta get Out" and the solo 35 seconds into our clip below of "Wanna Take a Ride." This is serious guitar harmonizing. For those of you that don't like "big," for whatever shallow pretentious reason, we here at Walk The Plank are musicians writing about musicians, and we appreciate the musicianship of the record at the end of the day. You're in the MUSIC section right now, not the fashion section. We praise music for the craft of it, not the trend.
Through the appreciation and preservation of great music (particularly Rock n' Roll) from many genres and time periods, we preserve a very important gene pool: the fundamentals of great Rock n' Roll music that nurture its Tree of Life. I don't know what happened over time. Perhaps somewhere along the timeline, the string of the telephone cord from one can to the other got cut in the generation gap when people were explaining music to each other . . . I don't know. They really needed a better system for relaying "tweet" messages back then, than with two tin cans I guess, because many people didn't get the message when they started bands that they thought didn't suck.
Lucky for us in 2012, the boys of Gone By Daylight had been paying attention to the teachers of great music, and were able to put together a solid lineup, to create songs that are so infectious, you're almost not sure why exactly it is that you like it, but halfway through the song, you already know the words and melodies, and you love it. These kids make great music. Duke Ellington once said "There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind." Thank God these guys never knew about the other kind- 'cause they make good music!
It goes to show you that only good can come from having musical influences coming from everywhere. The band cites a range of influences that include Foo Fighters, Guns n' Roses, Blink 182, Tom Petty, Third Eye Blind, and the Ramones to name a few. They're currently employing the services of John O'Leary (JWorks Management) for management, and are working with EMI Recording artists Kurtis John and Michael Nadeau for production both in New York and Los Angeles. They've been hard at work performing on stages all up and down the North East coast alongside bands such as My Chemical Romance, Misfits, Brett Michaels of Poison (whom we've also recently documented) just to name a few. They've also had involvement in Warped Tour, and have a recent Saturday Night residency at one of New York's most landmark modern day Rock n' Roll venues: Arlene's Grocery – one of our own personal favorites. Pictured below, is a moment from their performance at Bowery Electric earlier this spring.
The magnitude of this band's sound has also managed to catch the attention of ESPN2, WWE, E News Daily, Party Down, MTV's Teen Mom, in addition to Starz Network (Starz, Comedy, HD) on which they've been aired. When asked about how this opportunity came to the band, lead singer Eric Paquette modestly replied, "This girl actually contacted our manager . . . It was random, actually." It doesn't end there, because it isn't every day of course, that a publishing company comes looking for an average, ordinary band for music placement- no. Their radiant stage presence has landed the boys a feature in a in a sexy, provocative, televised advertisement for Axe Body Spray, that is scheduled to air in Latin America. When asked about the details of the commercial, Paquette offers, "We have a scene in it where a chick flashes us while we're playing a show. Haha." BAD ASS. Lets see if life will imitate art (or in this case, creative advertising) . . .
These stepping stones are characteristics of a forward thinking, fast moving successful band with a promising career in the music industry. After all, if you're not looking to make a LIVING from being in the music industry, you might as well just get a job at the "organic coffee shop" down your street, and play guitar in your room on the weekends. The music industry is still part of show biz . . . and if you don't plan on going into it for the long run, and going in with big goals set in mind, don't go in at all. You'll never treat it as anything more than a hobby.
Musicians of today have to learn to be less closed-minded and begin to visualize ways to succeed creatively, expand, and move forward while still keeping a balance of integrity and honor. These boys have those scales at a perfect equilibrium right now. They play BIG, HIGH-VOLUME Rock music, and they do it very well.
If you have two ears that work, and two eyes with decent vision to see these guys at a show, you'll say "Fuck yeah!" and remember what I said about Dave Grohl earlier. If you're a musician, it's up to YOU whether you wanna achieve God-like status for playing good music, that transcends time and happens to be called "pop" by the media, or stay in a tiny box with you as your only fan. I'm a FAN before anything and these guys ROCK a crowd right off their asses. All of their influences are a perfect formula for great Rock n' Roll, and it shows. At the end of the day, Rock n' Roll is just ROCK n' ROLL!
Get a taste of the Gone By Daylight sound below in these links to their music below. Their complete music is being released shortly on itunes and Amazon. You will also find them on Spotify very soon. They have several shows in NYC this month, and in their hometown of MA. Stay updated with the band through their official website, and Gone By Daylight social network sites. Also, check in with us for a full feature Q&A interview soon!
BUY THEIR MUSIC!!! IT'S WORTH YOUR HARD EARNED $$! YOU'LL HEAR IT IN THEIR HARD WORK!!!

After rebooting a virtual machine the machine comes up with all disks but C: offline.
* Note this seems to only happen if you assign disks to other then the primary SCSI bus that the OS is on. Reading help san explains why this is the case.

The Dark Knight Chechen

Don't know if anyone left you with this sync, but here goes...
Yesterday I was thinking about this "dark night" period we're living in. Then my mind jumped to Dark Knight and something was connected.
You saw the infamous Dark Knight movie (the one with Heath Ledger). Remember the scene where the Joker burns the mountain of money?
The gangster he double crosses is called "The Chechen."
The Joker says he will retrieve their money from the money launderer and then burns it and feed "The Chechen" to the "pooches."
Seems like the fountain of syncs never gets dry with the Batman trilogy. You do more dot connecting (you're good at it)! I just wanted to leave this idea.

Tsarnaev contains the root tsar (also spelled czar, csar, or tzar) - a Russian emperor. A villain in the Batman universe, Mr. Hammer, has a tattoo which reads: "Joker The Tzar" in Russian.
Mister Hammer and his brother Sickle were conjoined, orphan twins who performed in a russian circus, developing a reputaton for brutality which attracted the attention of the Joker. Joker sent his cohort Harley Quinn to recruit the twins, but the circus manager refused, however he subsequently turned up with a Glasglow smile carved into his face, and the twins were recruited into Joker's gang. During a fight between the Abramovici's and Batman, Joker had an ingenius idea to separate the brothers, and acquired the help of Dr. Thomas Elliot to perform the surgery and cut the twins in two. After the surgery was completed, Joker favorably chose Mr. Hammer to be his "right-hand man" and left Sickle for the Penguin, who hired the twin to be apart of his gang. Ever since, the Abramovici's operated alone in Gotham, and later Arkham City, however Sickle always had a disliking for Joker for separating him from his brother. Source.
Here we have twins again, as well as the theme of brothers separated violently.
Also, in Batman Confidential, Batman works to prevent a massacre by a bomb-packing villain called The Tsar. Source.
The site Merovee mentions a further link to the Dark Knight and Aurora, beyond the early one widely noted that "Dzhokhar" sounds like "Joker." That site points out that the the Boston police released the number plate of a car connected with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev – 116 GC7.
Merovee writes that "116 is a number which is closely connected with The Joker – Century 16 (116) at Aurora, as well as being a mirror of 911. As well, there is the compulsory 7/7. G=7. 116 7 C 7."
(Personally, I don't understand the "7" numerology being "compulsory.")
Century 16 in Aurora, Colorado.
Aurora building, Shanghai, in Skyfall.
There are stories of coincidence and chance, of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and who only knows? And we generally say, "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so-and-so met someone else's so-and-so and so on. And it is in the humble opinion of this narrator that strange things happen all the time. And so it goes, and so it goes. And the book says, "We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us." ~ Magnolia, 1999.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was named after Dzhokhar Musayevich Dudaev (Chechen: Dudin Musa-khant Dʒouxar/Дудин Муса-кIант Жовхар; Russian: Джохар Мусаевич Дудаев), who was a Soviet Air Force general and Chechen leader, the first President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. He was born February 15, 1944, and reportedly killed by "two laser-guided missiles when he was using a satellite phone, after his location was detected by a Russian reconnaissance aircraft, which intercepted his phone call," on April 21, 1996.
