Q: How to use Document Properties from Sharepoint in MS Word Field Codes? I want to use Document Properties that are passed down from a document content type from Sharepoint in IF-Statements in Word (Field Codes). The goal is to automate contract creation using a template and sharepoint data from a library.
Though within the template I want to have multiple IF-Fields to correctly change the content according to Gender etc.
My problem is that I can easily add the document properties using Quick Parts > Document Properties, but when I create a new Field code (CTRL-F9) and write:
{ IF { DOCPROPERTY Anrede } = "Herr" "männlich" "weiblich" }

it keeps returning "ERROR! Unknown document property name".
Whenever I just use Quick Parts, the information is always there and correct, so I am completely confused why it won't work with field codes.
UPDATE:
So now I tried { Set Anrede "[Anrede]" } ([Anrede] being a Quick Part Document Property)
But when I try and REF it in an IF function, like:
{ IF { REF Anrede } = "Herr" "männlich" "weiblich" }

the result doesn't change when the input does..
Thanks in advance for any help!
I did not write the braces out by hand, but always used CTRL-F9

A: I know this was a while ago but I have managed to use what you have posted in order to solve this exact same issue for myself.
When using {Set Anrede "[Anrede]"} I managed to make it work by swapping that to {Set Andede } then going to Quick Parts > Document Property and then selecting the property, this then allowed me to set up the IF statement.
I hope this helps even now but thank you for pointing me in the right direction to fix my problem.

On Feb. 5, civil rights, trade union, student, church, and environmental activists in communities across North America will come together in a variety of events to call attention to a looming crisis in public transit.
The diversity of these groups indicates that they recognize not only the urgent need to save what we have but also the potential crucial role transit expansion can play in providing affordable transportation that is accessible to all, that can reduce traffic fatalities and congestion—and that can curtail greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change.
But today, New York City's subways—moving a record 5 million passengers a day—are on the verge of collapse, a major line is being shut down for renovation lasting for more than a year, and their buses aren't doing much better. Washington, D.C., has neglected even routine maintenance, leading to accidents and delays on the Metro.
Transit-union contract negotiations remain highly contentious in Washington and Chicago. Some public agencies continue to contract work out to non-union penny-pinching private outfits who can do it cheaper only by providing inferior service and paying substandard wages. Washington, D.C., is moving to privatize the Red Line subway. More of the same—and even worse—are in store.
This is not the first crisis for transit. After setting record ridership numbers during World War II, when there was full employment, no new cars were being built, and tires and gasoline were rationed, the ruling class took America into a very different postwar development scheme. From the end of World War II on, highly subsidized urban sprawl promoted a massive exodus of residents and jobs to new suburban areas. The streetcar and bus lines in the urban cores did not follow them.
In many cases, such as in Los Angeles and Kansas City, consortiums of auto, oil, and tire companies became silent owners of transit properties. They dismantled their impressive electrified streetcar and trolley bus networks—which would require many billions to replicate today—replacing them with diesel buses produced by General Motors, as they steadily slashed service. One result in Los Angeles was the introduction of a new word to our vocabulary—smog. Out of sprawl an important new division in the working class soon emerged—either car dependent or transit dependent.
Because a high percentage of the transit-dependent population remaining in the depleted urban cores are African Americans, transit has often been on the agenda of the Civil Rights movement. The chosen date in February marks the birthday of the late Rosa Parks, who became famous for an act of civil disobedience that launched the well-planned boycott campaign to end racial segregation on Montgomery, Ala., buses in 1955.
This pivotal action, initiated by Black trade unionists led by E.D. Nixon, is credited with launching the revival of the mass Civil Rights Movement in the South—and propelling Dr Martin Luther King into national prominence.
Montgomery led to a Supreme Court ruling that segregating passengers was unconstitutional. Soon afterward, most transit agencies voluntarily ended their ban on Black bus drivers, and today transit jobs are among the best employment opportunities for African Americans.
The 1974 Urban Mass Transportation Act stabilized shaky transit systems by providing for the first time billions in federal funding for both capital and operating expenses. During the 1970-90s, new subway systems were built in the Bay Area, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Less densely populated areas such as Seattle, St Louis, and the Twin Cities launched highly successful "light rail" systems linking urban areas to airports and suburbs.
But money from Washington for operational expenses dried up long ago, and matching funds for capital improvements are to be almost completely eliminated under Trump's budget "blueprint" as "offsets" to pay for the mammoth tax cuts for corporations and the rich.
Transit Equity Day was called by the Labor Network for Sustainability, Amalgamated Transit Union, Institute for Policy Studies, Jobs with Justice, Partnership for Working Families, and the Labor Community Strategy Center. Their website is: labor4sustainability.org/transitequityday.
TED will not be marked by mass demonstrations like those organized around women's and climate issues soon after Trump's election. The initiators are setting more modest goals such as getting resolutions passed by organizations, submitting opinion pieces to local newspapers, organizing community meetings to discuss local transit issues—and, where weather permits, outdoor rallies in public places.
The choice of the date was a worthy effort to identify with the historic link between civil rights and public transit. But it would have been better to have issued the call much earlier. Some areas were getting started with initial planning with only a month to go. The response on Feb. 5 will give a better picture of the current potential for building the effective transit advocacy movement that is so sorely needed today.

PEN Students Gain Cognitive Neuroscience Training at the University of Hong Kong
In June and July 2015, Ph.D. in Educational Neuroscience (PEN) students Adam Stone and Geo Kartheiser (Petitto, Advisor; in the photo above in front of the world-famous Hong Kong skyline) conducted their summer cognitive neuroscience laboratory rotations at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). These rotations, an integral part of the PEN doctoral program, were funded by a NSF supplemental award (written by Petitto) from the Science of Learning Centers Program (Dr. Soo-Siang Lim, NSF Program Director and Chair of Coordinating Committee) and the Office of International Science and Engineering (Dr. Akaysha C. Tang, East Asia & Pacific Program Director) as part of efforts to promote HKU's Science of Learning initiatives and advance USA priority efforts in promoting international scientific and collaborative exchanges.
Kartheiser completed his rotation at Professor Tatia Lee's Laboratory of Social Cognitive Affective Neuroscience at the University of Hong Kong. In Professor Lee's laboratory, he received fMRI training and gained advanced knowledge in core issues in differential patterns of functional brain plasticity during focused attention and mental imagery particularly in Chinese individuals. He also presented to Professor Lee's laboratory on his own work regarding the neural plasticity of spatial working memory in signed language processing. As a part of the rotation, he also engaged in intellectual discussions with members of Professor Lee's team on the structural and functional plasticity of the human brain as a result of meditation and mindfulness.
Stone, placed in the laboratory of Dr. I-Fan Su, gained training in EEG and ERP principles and data analysis as used in reading and psycholinguistic studies, and observed data collection procedures. He also participated in stimulating scientific discussions and exchanges with Dr. Su's team, covering a wide range of topics such as the basics of Chinese writing (including sublexical reading processes), dyslexic Chinese readers, phonological awareness, Persian orthography, and visual sign phonology and how deaf readers use visual cues, as opposed to sound cues, as a robust route for reading.
Jointly, they also worked to advance their fNIRS experimental designs and research data analyses, and with Professor Petitto and Professor Kevin Dunbar (Visiting Research Professor at HKU from the University of Maryland), mentor HKU neuroscientists in constructing and conducting fNIRS pilot studies in the brand-new HKU Science of Learning Lab. Also, as part of the Science of Learning Strategic Research Team's annual SummerFest, Stone and Kartheiser participated in several all-day workshops covering Matlab, EEGLab, E-Prime, R, and SPM, and attended Education and Neuroscience symposia, including one focusing on "Literacy and the Brain."
Last, Kartheiser and Stone managed to squeeze in some sightseeing during HKU's scientific and training activities! They (with interpreters Nicole Cartagna and Erin Spurgeon) visited some of Hong Kong's famous landmarks, such as the "Big Buddha" at Lantau Island and the world-famous Hong Kong skyline. They also visited a sign-bilingual co-enrollment kindergarten program with deaf and hearing children (organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Centre of Sign Linguistics & Deaf Studies, Dr. Gladys Tang, Director) and last but not least, HKU's famous lily pond with Professor Nancy Law (Co-Convenor and Corresponding Officer of the Science of Learning Strategic Research Team).
During Hong Kong SAR Day (July 1), they took a day trip to Lantau Island and rode a 5.7-km long gondola to see the famous "Big Buddha." (L-R: Nicole Cartagna, interpreter, Adam Stone, Geo Kartheiser, Erin Spurgeon, interpreter)
Geo Kartheiser and Adam Stone (in center of group) visited the Kindergarten Sign Bilingualism & Co-enrollment in Deaf Education Programme organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Centre for Sign Linguistics and Deaf Studies (Prof. Gladys Tang, director).

WILTSHIRE BEFORE CHRIST
Aries, Jeremy Deller and David Sims
Centro per l'arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato
Aprile 19 – July 21, 2019
The project Wiltshire Before Christ stems from the collaboration between the artist Jeremy Deller, the streetwear brand Aries and the fashion photographer David Sims, who worked to create an exhibition of a capsule collection of clothes and a book, starting with the many suggestions offered by the most famous and mysterious prehistoric site in the world: Stonehenge, in Wiltshire, UK, the oldest part of which dates back to 3.000 BC.
Having entered the collective imagination and become a mass tourism destination, Stonehenge is a founding place for British identity and culture. This is why it has already been the subject of a work by Jeremy Deller, an artist highly interested in themes regarding popular culture, manifestations of folklore and mass culture. Indeed, in 2012 Deller created Sacrilege, an installation that reproduced the archaeological site on a 1:1 scale in the form of inflatable structures where children could play, turning it into an attraction worthy of Luna Park.
With Wiltshire Before Christ Deller instead restores magic and mystery to the enormous stones of Stonehenge, investigating, through reference to a more remote ancient symbol, the pull exerted on humans over thousands of years by the themes of mysticism and pagan symbolism, and the profoundness of concepts of identity, time and place, but still managing to mix them up with pop culture.
"Stonehenge could be the greatest logo or trademark in the whole world. The silhouette is so recognisable — it probably has more recognition than almost anything in Britain short of the Queen," claims the artist.
In addition to producing a video and installations, Deller, inspired by Sofia Prantera – the creative mind of the Aries brand - also took on the production of objects and items of clothing inspired by the archaeology, presented in the exhibition as relics of a distant past, creating a short circuit between eras and languages. The shots by David Sims, which see Stonehenge and Avebury as the set of a fashion shoot, reproduced in the exhibition on large lightboxes, further blur the boundaries between the past and the present. "It's an unusual exhibition," says Deller, "I almost worked as a set designer, it was more a question of creating an atmosphere... and it was essentially a collective work, with Sofia and David."
Through an immersive exhibition path that sees different artistic and creative approaches repeatedly encroaching on each other, Wiltshire Before Christ combines art, photography and fashion in an innovative project, which is complex to define and beyond the realms of what is normally presented in a museum institute, mixing up presumed cultural hierarchies.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of national coming out day. This year's theme is "Coming Out still Matters" recognizing the importance of coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or as an ally to promote positive change. The Human Rights Campaign recognizes that when an individual knows someone is LGBT they are more likely to support equality laws.

Since launching Depantsing The Clones, I've started a lot of things from scratch. One of those is a brand-spanking-new Twitter account.
And I'm no Twitter expert. At least not yet.
One of the things about Twitter that immediately struck me was how important a good profile description is. While reading tweets one day, I quickly noticed that I could group my reactions to other people's descriptions into three categories.
There are a ton more that I could list. The problem is they're all pretty vanilla and fail to attract attention because the descriptions are vague.
But what do I know? I'm pretty new to Twitter, too.
I learned long ago that when you want to get better at something, a smart place to start is by studying someone who is already successful at it. I'm not suggesting you mimic others – but you absolutely should find people who are masters at what you want to learn, take a cue from their experience, and employ some of their successful moves in your own unique way.
Among the people I follow, I decided to look at the profiles of two who I know for a fact use Twitter efficiently and successfully.
Those two people are Paul Castain and Ash Ambirge. If you don't know who these people are, you should. Visit their sites, subscribe, read, absorb, repeat.
At the time I wrote this post, Ash had over 6,000 followers and Paul had over 22,000.
I have followed these two long enough to know two things about them.
They're both incredibly smart people who know their stuff.
Their marketing efforts are of the very best quality and efficiency.
Ash is exactly what her profile claims. It's specific, true, and describes what she does. The description on her Twitter account makes it very clear very quickly that her purpose is to help others use the internet to make a living. It's also articulate, funny, and witty without crossing the corny line.
Paul's profile makes it obvious that he is a sales guru without him having to use that beat-down, over-used word. He clearly owns his own sales training and coaching business – and in his spare time keeps Whupass. I keep fish – but to each his own. You can tell in just three lines that he's a witty guy and will be fun to read. Who wouldn't want to hang with a Jedi?
What did I learn from Ash and Paul's Profiles?
But I do want your feedback and suggestions to make it better. So I'm counting on you to help me tweak it in the comments section.
Take a second look at your profile description. Does it show the world that you're someone worth following?
Recent: Outside Your Comfort Zone - Are You All In?
Well done Gary and thank you so much for the mention!
Keep up the great work on your blog . . . we need this breath of fresh air!
Thank you Paul…for the visit and for the words of encouragement.
Yikes Chris . . . why don't you tell us how you really feel.
Chris, I can see your point, but I'd say her profile resonates quite a bit with who she's targeting. Ash has a lot of young, hip (and largely female) followers. Granted, some older folks who are male (like me) read her stuff, too – but I think young and cool is her target.
Thanks for the counter-point. Contrast is always welcome…and thought provoking.

SHUTDOWN: Fox News' Chris Wallace SHUTS DOWN 'Not Very Polite' Gillibrand During Town Hall
Fox News' Chris Wallace abruptly shut-down Senator Kirsten Gillibrand Sunday night after she bizarrely attacked the cable news network when asked to comment on late-term and partial-birth abortions.
"What I'm asking you Senator, is what is your position on late-term or last-term abortions," asked one audience member.
"What we have created, unfortunately, is a false choice and a false narrative," she said. "And Chris, I want to talk about the role that Fox News plays in this because it's a problem. I can tell you before President Trump gave his State of the Union, Fox News talked about infanticide," said Gillibrand.

"Senator, I just want to say, we've brought you here for an hour," he said. "We've treated you very fairly. I understand that maybe to make your credentials with the Democrats who are not appearing on Fox News you want to attack us. I'm not sure it's frankly very polite when we've invited you to be here."
"Instead of talking about Fox News why don't you answer Susan's question," Wallace fired-back.
Late-term abortions have taken center stage on the campaign trail in recent weeks, with conservative states passing so-called 'Heartbeat' legislation as liberal states repealed bans on partial-birth abortions.
The Illinois House passed a controversial pro-choice bill last week; repealing the state's ban on partial birth abortions that may occur in late stage pregnancies.
"After a lengthy and emotional debate, the Illinois House passed a controversial abortion rights bill Tuesday that opponents characterized as extreme but supporters say is necessary to protect women as several states enact more restrictive laws," reports the Chicago Tribune.
"The bill would repeal the Illinois Abortion Law of 1975 and its provisions that called for spousal consent, waiting periods, criminal penalties for physicians who perform abortions and other restrictions on facilities where abortions are performed. The bill would establish 'the fundamental right' of a pregnant woman to have an abortion and states that 'a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent rights,'" adds the article.
The legislation -titled the Reproductive Health Act- repeals Illinois' ban on 'partial birth abortions' that may occur in late-stage pregnancy.
"Today, Illinois says we are better than this war on women," Chicago Democrat Rep. Kelly Cassidy said. "Illinois says we trust women. Please join me in saying that loud and clear: 'We trust women.'"
GILLIBRAND GOES OFF: NY Senator Slams Trump for 'NOT ACKNOWLEDGING' Her Hard Work
Ultra-liberal New York Senator and potential 2020 challenger Kirsten Gillibrand unloaded on President Trump this week; slamming the Commander-in-Chief after he questioned her ability to "get things done" in Congress during a fiery speech.
The President called out Gillibrand during a televised address in Utica, New York Monday; asking the crowd "Has she gotten anything done?"
Gillibrand fired-back on social media just hours later, saying "The President refuses to acknowledge the work I've gotten done. Sound familiar, ladies?"

Gillibrand made national headlines weeks ago when she called for the total abolishment of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency; saying the department was fundamentally broken and should be replaced.
GILLIBRAND: Access to 'Social Security' is a 'Right' for Every Illegal Immigrant in the US
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand left millions of Americans scratching their heads during a campaign stop this week; calling social security a "right" for all illegal immigrants "in this country now."
Gillibrand was speaking with supporters on the campaign trail when she pushed her calls for a "comprehensive immigration reform" package that includes access to social security and a pathway to citizenship.
"What will I do? I have a lot of ideas. First, we need comprehensive immigration reform. If you are in this country now, you must have the right to pay into social security, to pay your taxes, to pay into the local school system, and to have a pathway to citizenship. That must happen," said Gillibrand to widespread applause.

"I'm proud to be from Liverpool and even prouder that we've been given the chance to lend our support to what's going to be an amazing concert.
"What we need now is for all of our brilliant fans to come down to the ECHO Arena and have a great time with us on Saturday night.
"Not only can we promise a great show, but together we can all make a real difference to those who need us.
"We love performing in Liverpool and we know that this show is going to be one to remember! Come down and join us!"'
With Love From Liverpool' will be held on Saturday, September 19 at the ECHO Arena.
Doors will open at 6pm with the concert starting at 7pm.
Tickets cost £25 (inclusive of £1.50 booking fee), and are available from www.echoarena.com or by calling 0844 8000 400.


We made it to 2 weeks! Small victories. We meet with Adeline's surgeon on Monday to x-ray Adeline, go over progress and ensure her hip has not moved out of the socket. Thinking about that appointment makes me so nervous. I pray that we hear good news. If all looks good, Adeline can start sitting up again with support and the everyday will be much easier. We have her spica table, basically a table that she can sit and play at that supports her cast, ready for her when we get the green light! We hear it is a game changer. I cannot wait to put it to good use.
We are still figuring out sleep. Since she came off her medications sleep hasn't been our friend. Adeline isn't a fan of her limitations with the cast and she isn't pleased that she can't roll to her tummy. We've tried pillows, no pillows, rolled blankets, no blankets, her crib, our bed, and everything in between. Hopefully we can all get some sleep one of these days!
This journey is not easy, but we are getting through it one day at a time. Sometimes it feels like a minute at a time, but it helps to remind ourselves that this is all for her so that she can live a pain-free and normal life, and she won't remember a thing of this. I try and remind myself that very often, especially at what feels like my breaking point. I find myself daydreaming about summer often, life without her cast and healthy hips. It is such a bittersweet feeling to wish away time. I feel guilty for it because I know we won't get this precious time back, she is only a baby once, but I can't wait to get back to normal life full of hugs, baths, meals in her high-chair and normal activities without this big purple barrier. Nevertheless, I have said it before and I will say it again, children are so resilient. While I am over here moping, Adeline is smiling, giggling, entertaining, and overall a happy baby (for a good 23 hours out of the day). Children can teach us so much.
I am looking forward to this weekend, getting outside and spending family time together. I hope you have fun plans ahead too, and if you think about it, say a quick prayer for us for Monday. We know God has a plan greater than anything we could imagine and bigger than all of this.

New Report on Climate-Driven 'Toxic Flood' Threats in Virginia
Richmond University
Last week the James River hit its highest level in nine years with a recorded reading of 16 feet. With an expected increase in future floods and storms caused by climate change, a new report co-authored by an environmental law expert at the University of Richmond identifies flood-exposed communities in the James River watershed that are socially vulnerable to disasters as well as potential chemical contamination from local industrial facilities.
Toxic Floodwaters: The Threat of Climate-Driven Chemical Disaster in Virginia's James River Watershed is co-authored by University of Richmond School of Law Professor Noah Sachs and David Flores, an analyst with the Center for Progressive Reform. The report was released recently by the Center for Progressive Reform (CPR).
Sachs and Flores report that more than 473,000 of the 2.9 million people who currently live in the James River watershed are located in communities that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines as socially vulnerable to disaster and that also contain flood-exposed industrial facilities with toxic substances.
"Because of climate change, extreme storms and floods are becoming more likely," said Sachs. "We identified more than 1,000 flood-exposed industrial facilities in the James River watershed, and contamination from these facilities would be an added burden to these communities, which already lack the infrastructure to rebound after a weather-related disaster."
While there have been many studies of the impact of sea-level rise and storm surge in Virginia, this report is the first to document potential impacts on industrial facilities that store or use toxic substances. It is also the first to correlate the location of these facilities with the demographics of nearby communities.
Noting that current Virginia law, regulation, and enforcement are not up to the task of protecting the Commonwealth's most vulnerable residents from toxic floodwaters, the report offers several recommendations for Virginia policymakers. The report also contains an action guide for citizens and advocacy organizations.
"Resiliency and equity should be threaded throughout any work done on climate and toxic floodwaters in the Commonwealth," said Sachs, "Right now, regulation and enforcement in Virginia are lagging on this issue. We are under-appreciating the real risk."
Sachs is the director of the Robert R. Merhige Jr. Center for Environmental Studies at the University of Richmond and has served as a member scholar at the Center for Progressive Reform in Washington D.C. since 2010.
The full report can be viewed online.

16 days into 2019 and Jackson already has 10 murders.
It's almost as if there's this one group who just seems to be overrepresented in crime rates in just about every city in the nation..
Jeez, really makes you wonder.
While what you are saying is true, I would be more interested in figuring out why one group of people is over represented in crime and try to fix it.
I think he's race baiting.


It's now four years since I began reviewing the New York Times Book Review. A look back at my very first installment leaves me embarrassed, because I clearly did not understand the Book Review well and had little to offer beyond a negative comparison to the Velvet Underground's song "Sunday Morning" (a reference point I have, by now, completely milked dry).
Much about my attitude towards the Book Review has changed since that weekend in May 2005 when I began this pursuit. For one thing, I knew none of the editors or critics who wrote for the Book Review back then, whereas by now I have met or corresponded with many of the NYTBR regulars and staffers. I was completely unaware, back then, of the hyperactive and highly competitive internal world inhabited by professional literary critics, too many of whom (I have now learned) are more concerned with impressing their peers than enriching their readers.
Like these book critics, I seem to have passed in the last four years from an utter outsider to some kind of an insider, and I also feel compelled at this point to continue my ongoing review of the Review in order to satisfy some relational imperative that is probably more pointless (in the great scheme of things) than it appears. Today, I stare at the latest Book Review with utter disinterest.
It's not the Book Review's fault -- it's just the mood I'm in. Liesl Schillinger's cover piece on When I Forget, a first novel by Finnish author Elina Hirvonen, is fine, but I'd be lying if I pretended to have absorbed Schillinger's article deeply enough to say anything useful about it. There appears to be some type of low-flame debate "raging" about whether or not Ayelet Waldman is a terrible person because she once wrote that she loves her husband (novelist Michael Chabon) more than she loves her kids. Waldman has now written an entire book called Bad Mother about this, and Susan Dominus is willing to play along and stoke the weak flame, but I'm not.
If "Tree of Smoke" -- intricately plotted, embracing the entire Vietnam era and bringing it up alongside the war in Iraq -- was a huge piece of work, a "Guernica" of sorts, then "Nobody Move" is a Warhol soup can, a flinty, bright piece of pop art meant to be instantly understood and enjoyed.
And David Hadju reviews a book by David Robertson about musician W. C. Handy and Martin Filler reviews a book by Barbara Isenberg about the wonderful architect Frank Gehry, and I want to care, but I don't. I don't care. I'm tired of pretending I care. I just started a very exciting and demanding new job, I just moved and am adjusting to a new and happy configuration in my daily life, and sometimes I just want to ignore the New York Times Book Review for a few weekends. So there. I said it.
I tried to deal with this two weeks ago by inviting Bill Ectric to stand in for me, but I can't pull that trick every weekend, and I'm sure Ectric's family wouldn't like it if I tried. Should I quit this weekly feature? Nah. As soon as I tried to quit, I'm sure, I'd find myself burning up to comment on the next issue. Sam Tanenhaus isn't getting rid of me that easy.
I pledged last Sunday to begin reviewing each issue of the New York Times Book Review in these pages. It's now week two of this endeavor, and I'm already having a rough time.
Sometimes -- okay, often -- the Book Review just leaves me cold. Maybe this is what I want to complain about, because I think the world's most renowned weekly literary review should radiate a blazing white heat with every issue. This week's issue is a cold slab of refrigerated cheese, starting with a dull, trendy cover story about Nascar culture and books thereabout. Who cares? Where's my fiction and poetry?
I page through: American history; women's tales of friendship; a memoir of a person I'd never heard of when I start reading about his book; and who I forget I'd heard of by the time I turn the page; homeopathic medicine, how popular culture is good for you. Finally, on page 14 I reach the literary ghetto where novels and story collections get some ink.
But even these pages transmit a cool apathy. Once or twice each week the Book Review will favor a debut author with a polite but dismissive review, and this week this young novelist is named Alix Ohlin and the last four words of the review are "fatal shortness of interest." Yeah, well, we've got some of that going on in this publication too. I should find small reviews of books by Albert Murray and Caleb Carr interesting, but the reviewers seem bored and so do I.
In other words, I've been singing this same "I'm bored" song for four entire years. And yet people keep reading, including you (I know you are reading this, or else you wouldn't be reading this). So there must be some value in this nonsense, even if on this damp cool Spring morning I can't figure out exactly what this value might be. I'll see you next weekend. I go on.

I don't know what convoluted logic possessed me to bring John Huston into it.
I like reading the reviews. I can't always get the paper and like to hear about new titles.
Also, Bill Ectric's review was good.
Thank you, Levi, for saying it out loud. It's boredom with the routine imposed externally, plus emotional exhaustion from the high level of output and expectation, added to the chronic anxiety of living in the dim, airless space between the wish and its fulfillment. A diminishing calculus. One sometimes wonders if we stopped scouring the woods for kindling and just let the fire extinguish itself, would anybody even miss the warmth and the light, the chance to cook, to see sparks fly up to the stars, to hear the hiss of the fire, to burn something up, hotter than hot? Which is to say that I too find myself on this hazy Monday morning asking--how do we go on from here, from right now? I mean it. I'm looking for an answer!
Thanks, Warren. That means a lot.

Q: Any submodule of any finitely generated $R$-module is finitely generated if $R$ is Noetherian I am trying to prove that if $R$ is a Noetherian ring then any submodule of any finitely-generated $R$-module is also finitely-generated.
What I have tried: I know that any finitely generated $R$-module is isomorphic to $R^n/N$ for some $n$ and $N$. Since submodules of $R^n/N$ correspond to submodules of $R^n$ containing $N$, and $R/M$ is finitely generated if $R$ is finitely generated, it suffices to show that any submodule of $R^n$ is finitely generated. The condition that every submodule be finitely generated is equivalent to every increasing chain of submodules terminating. Now since $R$ is Noetherian every increasing chain of ideals terminates. I need to use this to show that every increasing chain of submodules in $R^n$ terminates. I am not sure how to show this though.
I would appreciate any different solutions too.

A: You need to prove that if $M$ and $N$ are Noetherian modules, then so
is $M\oplus N$. Then from the Noetherianness of $R$, inductively one
gets $R^n$ Noetherian.
Let $\pi:M\oplus N\to N$ to be the projection. Given an increasing
chains $(A_n)$ of submodules of $M\oplus N$, then $(M\cap A_n)$
and $\pi(B_n)$ are increasing chains of submodules of $M$ and $N$
respectively, so they both stabilise. One now checks that $P_n\subseteq
P_{n+1}$, $P_n\cap M=P_{n+1}\cap M$ and $\pi(P_n)=\pi(P_{n+1})$ implies
$P_n=P_{n+1}$. Therefore $(P_n)$ stabilises.


In today's episode, Dark_Sage attempts to make the secret Japanese breakfast cuisine "mochi". Translated into English, these are "glutinous rice cakes of mochigome". Let's see how he did!
Try it yourself! Today's recipe comes from an onee-chan (Japanese for elder spirit).
1. Mix everything but the saran wrap in the bowl.
2. Cover bowl with saran wrap.
3. Microwave for like 2 mins.
4. Remove from bowl and serve.
Dark_Sage has once again failed to become Japanese. His quest continues.
Shouldn't you hit that thing with, like, a hammer or something? Isn't that what Moon Usagi-san does?
I used my teeth, so maybe that counts?
I thought putting plastic wrap in the microwave was a no-go similar to putting metal inside.
It should be fine. Though I don't think it would be smart to melt the plastic onto the food.
I just think they have little worth as human beings. Their subs are generally fine.
I had considered it, but I didn't have a plan for how to do it in an enjoyable fashion, so it woulda ended poorly.
Me. It had the right consistency but not enough flavor to make it worth having more than a few bites.
Nobody eats it plain. Add some sweet red bean/sesame paste or dust it with peanut powder and sugar.
I don't think those things exist in Minnesota.
peanuts and sweet red beans? try the biggest food market in your area.
Meh. If I wanted to eat peanuts I'd just grab a Reese's.
Gotta admit, making "glutinous rice cakes of mochigome" the right way is effort, though.
1. Take rice into a bowl along with whatever ingridients needed.
2. Use something to continue to smash the rice and don't forget flower.
3. Continue to beat it up until it looks remotely mochi like.
4. Put it into oven and let the top part rise.
I honestly forgot how to make real mochi since kindergarten… but I'm pretty sure that's how you make home made mochi.
Sounds like it'd take longer than 3 minutes.

Kimi: "They can run fast but I don't think they will catch me when I'm in the car."
Source: lotusf1team.com
After – in his words – a "boring" Singapore Grand Prix, Kimi Räikkönen looks to the rest of the season, telling us how he's always aiming for the top and why Suzuka suits him so well…
Q: Hot, humid and not exactly straightforward; talk us through your weekend in Singapore.
KR: I think we had the chance to do a bit better as the car felt good on Sunday. Not being able to qualify higher on Saturday hurt our chances, then it was a boring race in the car as it's very difficult to overtake there. The first safety car was not very good for us, but the second one was better for our strategy. I followed Michael [Schumacher] for most of the race, and it was quite frustrating as our car was faster. It's not very good when you're stuck behind people as it degrades your tyres and reduces the grip, but it's a case of just doing the best you can and then trying to jump others during a pitstop or hoping they make a mistake.
Q: You're still third in the Drivers' Championship; can you go higher?
KR: You try to do the best you can. This year has been good for the team and we're doing well in the Championship so I'm happy with where we are and think that we have a good chance to improve. Of course the objective is always to try to win races and to bring home as many points as possible.
Q: People are asking if you could take the Driver Championship title without winning a race; do you think that's possible?
KR: I think it's very difficult to say. There are too many things that could happen over the next few races. I guess if you look at it mathematically then yes, I could, but personally I feel you have to win at least one race to make sure you are World Champion. There would have to be some big dramas if I were to take it from Fernando [Alonso] or Sebastian [Vettel] without winning a race, so all I can do is keep moving forward and trying to win. That's all I set out to do anyway, every time I step into the car.
Q: Tell us about Suzuka? You famously won there in 2005; is it a circuit you enjoy?
KR: It's a good circuit, one that's quite fast and there are some nice opportunities for overtaking. The best tracks for me are ones with long straights and sharp corners with lots of space for racing on, and Suzuka has that. In 2005 I had one of my best wins there after starting the race near the back of the grid and then taking the lead on the last lap. Winning in that way, you never forget the feeling it gives you while crossing the finish line.
Q: How difficult is Suzuka to master?
KR: It is one of the more difficult tracks and part of racing at Suzuka is that there are usually quite a few accidents. When you are on the limit, a driver will always have some big moments during the weekend at a fast circuit and Suzuka really punishes the driver due to the speed of the track and the small run-off areas. It's a great circuit; very quick and challenging for both car and driver. You need an aerodynamically strong car there, and a solid car to go through those fast, long sweeping corners. I think that suits the E20.
Q: There have been a few difficult races for the team, how tough is the championship battle?
KR: We should get some new parts and setting up the car the way I like it to be depends on the weather and on the circuit. We know the speed is there in our car, we just have to find the right set-up to maximise it every time. We give it our best shot to be on the podium, but the races are going to get more and more difficult with other teams constantly pushing with new development parts. Obviously, we have to make a step forward from Singapore – where we were nowhere – to be fighting for top places. It's impossible to predict how our car will go in the next races. We have to wait until Friday practice to decide how to approach the race.
Q: How do you cope with the many Japanese fans and screaming girls bearing gifts?
KR: It's part of being a Formula 1 driver and it shows how enthusiastic the fans are. There are very many fans and they seem to be able to find you wherever you are. They can run fast but I don't think they will catch me when I'm in the car.

Screaming girls? I heard that Kimi has rock-star status in Japan. At least they all have excellent taste 🙂
ronin4444r September 28, 2012 — 12:00 pm
abit OT here but with sergio taking lewis place at mclarren i cant see kimi going anywhere…
Leonardo September 28, 2012 — 1:16 pm
yes, unless Massa leaves Mafiararri. But highly unlikely Kimi will go there. Too much bad blood with Luca and the other hoods there.
But then again, stranger things have happened in F1 history….

Red Bull in 2014 together with Vettel. I bet Red Bull got wet dreams about Kimi after seeing him in their colors in Rally. Kimi = Red Bull brand.

Q. How can I switch accounts from Nmail to another Gmail account that I use?
I have used Gmail for my personal email for years. I was able to switch accounts from my personal account to my Nmail account last week without much trouble. But now, my Gmail bookmark goes straight into Nmail and I can't access my personal account. The menu box that used to allow me to switch accounts seems to be gone in Nmail. This is extremely annoying!
GMail allows for multiple accounts to be accessed thru one standard GMail Bookmark.
To enable access to all GMAIL accounts, log into your NMAIL account and then click on the down arrow next to your email address (Upper right hand corner of your screen). A prompt box will appear. Click on 'Add Account'. Type in your username and password for the additional GMAIL account(s) and press enter.
The alternate GMAIL account(s) will appear in separate tabs - keeping each inbox and labels unique to each GMAIL account.

Kistorony (, , szászul Neppenderf) egykor önálló falu Romániában, Erdélyben, Szeben megyében. Ma Nagyszeben városhoz tartozik.

Fekvése
A település ma Nagyszebennel egybeolvadva a város délnyugati negyedét alkotja, 412 méteres tengerszint feletti magasságban.

Nevének eredete

Magyar nevét először Inczédi Pál említi, 1686-ban: Kis-Toronyhoz (Dobó Ferenc másolatában). Vsz. a falu határában egykor állt őrtoronyról kapta, amelynek nyomait 1874-ben tárták föl a Bei der Turm dűlőben. Német neve szóhatár-eltolódással keletkezett, az Eppendorf alakból ("in Eppendorf"), amely maga személynévi eredetű (Eppo – vsz. egykori gerébjéről). Első említései: villa Epponis (1327), Opponis (1332), Epindorf (1336), Eppendorf (1339), Oppendorph (1382), Neppendorf (1468). Román neve a magyarral azonos jelentésű.

Története
Szebenszéki szász szabadfalu volt. 1493-ban a törökök elpusztították. Lakossága 1536-ban tért át az evangélikus hitre. 1658-ban itt táborozott a Nagyszebent ostromló II. Rákóczi György. 1708-ban a kurucok fölgyújtották. 1721-ben 25 szász és 24 román család lakta.

1734–1735-ben 301 salzkammerguti evangélikust (landlert) költöztettek be. Ezzel ők kerültek többségbe a falu német lakosságán belül. A nyelvjárás és az ünneplő ruha különbségei egészen a 20. század végéig megkülönböztették a landlereket és a szászokat, a vegyes házasságokat pedig szigorú jogszokások szabályozták.

1929-től villamosjárat kötötte össze Nagyszeben központjával. 1945-ben  597 lakosát deportálták a Szovjetunióba, a kiszabadult 518 fő kb. egynegyede egyenesen Németországba távozott.

1949. július 24-én itt alakult meg az öt első romániai szocialista termelőszövetkezet egyike.

1954-ben csatolták Nagyszebenhez. Az 1980-as években egy részét lakóteleppel építették be.

Lakossága
1900-ban 2629 lakosából 2083 volt német, 430 román és 110 magyar anyanyelvű; 2083 evangélikus, 413 ortodox, 69 római katolikus és 47 református vallású.

Az első nemzetközi járatok 1992-ben indultak. 2006–2008-ban korszerűsítették. 2008-ban 5995 gép szállt rajta le, illetve fel, 165 057 utassal. 2009-ben közvetlen járatok kötötték össze Temesvárral, Bukaresttel, Marosvásárhellyel, Béccsel, Kölnnel, Stuttgarttal, Londonnal és Madriddal.
 Evangélikus temploma a 13. század elején épülhetett, háromhajós bazilikális templomként. Ebből a déli oldalhajó keleti része, a szentélynégyszög és a félköríves apszis maradt meg. Az 1493-as török pusztítás után 1548-ra hozták helyre. A 18. században újraboltozták és kiegészítették. Ekkor még helyreállították védőfalait is, amelyek ma már csak részben állnak.

Please more heart of gold less rogue
Scarlet M4H
I love the puns and storyline, but could it be a little more redemptive? So far, we have to justify kidnapping an innocent civilian, theft, forgery, robbing a bank, starting civil wars, and breaking up a wedding. I know we listen to Catbeard, but he is quoting Vizzini from the Princess Bride, not the Dread Pirate Roberts. As far as I have gotten, our justification for all of this is loot, loot, and more loot. Seems more Grand Theft Auto than Pixar.

Re: Please more heart of gold less rogue
Well you are a pirate and loot is what every pirate is after. Your main goal is to go to el dorado to raid it. Pirates aren't meant to be the nice guy who kills the bad guy and saves the princess. They are meant to be the rouge who raids the town, kills the governer, and steals his daughter.
Rank: Dread Pirate
The Dread Pirate Roberts robbed and killed a lot of people, if I remember right, and then passed down his piracy to his next-in-line. He only spared Westley because of the "Please." Westley did HIS turn as the Dread Pirate Roberts for quite a while before rescuing Buttercup from Humperdinck, and never said he didn't rob and kill people. Oh, and by the way, in-game, the governor's daughter was perfectly willing to be "kidnapped" so that she could have a great entry in her diary.
The deal is that this is supposed to be an all ages game: family friendly. :) I get that we are the Spiral equivalent of a Corellian pirate, but Han Solo kills when he is threatened by bad guys, he is not going off to kill Ewoks for their loot.
What I suggest is if you could couch the actions in another context, say we are rescuing a rebel resistance leader from the governors mansion, not kidnapping his innocent, clueless daughter. Or disrupting a celebration of the rule of General Tso, not the wedding of some nameless bride (who I guess is another innocent bystander) to his clueless henchman. General Tso can't be all bad: after all, we are the ones saying basically: "Drop your weapons or the chicken gets it." lol
All of the crew promotions are actions for redemption. Its a shame that does not include our main.
Ruby Blades
And yet we are supposed to do all those pirate things with an underlying sense that it is for the greater good.
Angelocean
How can ye pirate if you are a nice guy?
@Wd: You are right, the Dread Pirate Roberts never takes prisoners. However, that happens off-screen (even in the novel). With Westley, he changes: he gets the girl, redemption, and plans to retire from piracy and is motivated by True Love. What I mean is that with Pixar characters, the main character: superhero, car, toy or whatnot, changes during the course of the story. Becomes a better person and is not motivated solely by personal gain. I was just hoping that would be the case here. I am stuck at the Stormzilla in Mooshu, but I hoped that that change would have taken place by now in the main story line. It is clear that all of the elements for that is in the storyline, I just would like to see it. :)
@ruby: Yes, that is exactly it: I would like an underlying sense that our actions are for the greater good. They are a funny pastiche of many different stories, tho. :)
Blind Mew
Wow, there's a lot you bring up here in a very short post. As the head writer, I wanted to give you the response this topic deserves - it cuts right to the heart of what we're trying to achieve here.
Warning, this is going to be very long, and pretty spoiler rich.
When Todd and I set out to write Pirate101's storyline, we were faced with a daunting challenge: could we create a game that met Kingsisle's standards of family-friendly play and was also a pirate game? Real-life pirates were not wholesome fellows, and even lovable Jack Sparrow is hardly a role model. As we've said before, we wanted to create a story about a rogue with a heart of gold. Our central philosophy was to have the PC be willing to bend or even break the rules, but always make the correct moral decision to the best of their knowledge. In some instances, the PC does break the law, but this is typically done in situations where it's either:
1) an absolutely ridiculous joke (they are dressed in a monkey suit at the time, or such like)
2) the "law" is being set or dictated by an evil empire, or
3) the PC is being misled, and works to set things right after.
You say that "loot, loot, loot" is the only justification you see for the action in the game - that's really only true for the first chapter (through the end of the free content, when you get Gunn's gold). After that, you undertake a mission to Puerto Mico in order to win diplomatic recognition for Skull Island - you're already working for something bigger than yourself. In chapter 4, you learn about El Dorado and the Armada, and discover what the stakes really are: it's you against the Armada, and the future of the Spiral is on the line.
The Main Story of Pirate101 is the quest for El Dorado, and the PC has two reasons to seek it. Gold is the superficial reason, and the boring one. The real reason to get Marco Pollo's Map is to keep it from Kane, leader of the Armada. In Valencia you see firsthand that you're up against an evil empire who wants to crush the world into bits - literally. Today Granchia, tomorrow the Spiral. You see a populace oppressed by their creations, and a soulless army that wants to impose its will on everybody. El Dorado will give Kane the means to do what he wants – that's why you have to get there first.
This game is not about "Pirate School" the way Wizard101 is, but we did want to craft the story as a learning curve - in the beginning, sure, the PC is after loot, and does some things that are a little morally shaky. But over time the PC gets drawn into bigger causes, and ends up saving everybody, in an arc a lot like Han Solo's. You're right - Han doesn't kill Ewoks for their loot, and our Pirates don't ravage the countryside willy nilly either. The Waponis are set up as enemies that have wronged the Nui, and the times you go up against the Troggies you're saving Skull Island and rescuing Criado. We're trying to build a story that plays out over hundreds of hours – some of the seeds planted early on have yet to bear fruit, and some of the deeds you see in the main Story that are rubbing you the wrong way will have consequences in the future.
You open your post by asking the game be more redemptive. Look to the promotion quests, and you'll find a lot of redemption there: Ratbeard comes to regret his worst offenses, and atones for them - he even refuses to kill Captain Fowl in revenge. You help Old Scratch win back his soul from the Dark Crawler who set him on an evil path. Sarah Steele reconciles with her estranged family and puts past sins behind her. When Subodai is confronted with what it really means to be a Khan of the Golden Horde, he decides he'd rather stick with the Player. The Player is constantly taking enemies into the fold and changing them into heroes - the first two bosses you fight become pillars of the crew. Captain Steed, Duck Holliday, Aquilo Santelli – these are all troubled souls who the Player helps redeem. Over the arc of the game, I'd say the player is a redemptive force. You later point to the promo quests - given the in-game benefits these quests give, they're practically as essential as the Main Story.
There's a lot of thieving and skullduggery in this game, yes. But look at what else the PC gets to do in Cool Ranch alone: foster peace and understanding between the Bison and Claw Feet, heal the breach between the Big Sky Hunters and their Totem spirits, get the Magnificent Seven to overcome their regrets and save Tumbleweed from the Wild Bunch, deliver Santo Pollo from the tyranny of Santa Rana, stop the evil Captain Blood, and break the curse on Miranda. Elsewhere, you kindle hope in Steed's heart, help El Toro and Sally find true love, reignite the Resistance in Valencia, and even get Avery to finally take a stand against the Armada. In MooShu you help rebuild villages destroyed by the Amber Horde, win back the taxes stolen from the people (again!), and save all MooShu from the schemes of General Tso. There's a lot of good deeds here.
That's my response at a macro level. You bring up a lot of specific offenses, and I'd like to address them each in turn.
Kidnapping: Yup, we have one kidnapping - the way I figure it, we'd have been remiss without one somewhere in the story. The morals here may be a little shaky, but I must point a few things out: the girl is never harmed or even put in harm's way - this is explicitly stated up front. We also went out of our way to make this one funny (see point 1 above) - Mabel practically begs to be whisked away on a pirate adventure, and is sorry to go home. And she does go home - you set things right (point 3). Catbeard may quote Vizzini, but remember why you do the kidnapping - starting that war (more about this later) is the only way to get Mustang Sally out of prison. Why do we want to do that? To reunite her with Don Rodrigo. True love - you cannot ask for a more noble cause than that! Finally, bear in mind this one act is balanced by the rescue of the victims of many others: Young Nick, Penelope, Criado, Norville, Serena Gutierrez, Merriweather Clark, Timmy... that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Theft: For a pirate game, we have remarkably little piracy. The Presidio heist is one of the few times we send you to steal something that wasn't itself stolen in the first place, or from somebody or that hasn't wronged you or somebody else. In this case, it's from the Monquistans, who are the epitome of colonial oppressors (more about them later). We never send you to attack ships that won't shoot first if you get too close, and send you on more than a few rescue missions. The taxes you take in MooShu go directly back to the peasants, and Ratbeard spends a lot of time griping about the plunder you aren't keeping. As regards theft, there are lines the PC won't cross - you refuse to steal the MooShu Falcon from Avery when Joey Karo asks.
Forgery: The PC uses forged documents to see the Governor in Monquista. This is hardly a serious plot point -- you are masquerading as a swamp creature in a powdered wig or a stuffy Bulldog, and you have to dress as a court jester to gain admittance. And, again, the end goal is a greater good – you're working to sign a peace agreement / trade treaty with the kingdom of Monquista.
Bank Robbing: The player does rob a bank, but the player is tricked and unaware of what they were really doing. As soon as the player learns the truth they immediately bring the perpetrator to justice. In Pirate101, the player never robs stages, or trains, or banks for profit.
Starting Wars: There are two wars you become entangled with in Pirate101: the Monquistan Civil War and the war between Valencia and Marleybone. Let's look at Monquista. The Monquistan King goes through wives faster than he does outfits, imprisoning all his exes. Appointed officials are imprisoned in deep pits, condemned to hard labor, exiled, or worse at the King's whim. The Monquistan Church, as we learn in the side quests, is oppressive and crushes all unorthodox thought and intellectual inquiry. The King and Queen smile and praise you to your face, then have you deliver your own death warrant to the Warden in Zenda. These are not nice people - if Gortez and Catherine win, Monquista will be a far better place.
Catbeard's War is trickier. You need that war to get into Fort Elena. There's a few reasons why - so you can bust out Mustang Sally (true love, and a clue to the Map), but also Napoleguin (to topple Monquista, see above). So there are a few higher goods at play here. But, ultimately, war is still a bad thing - and we intend to follow through with that. We didn't put this into the plot lightly: the war in Marleybone comes back in the promo quests and in the MooShu content again and again - the PC is reminded that their actions have had big consequences, and that Marleybone is suffering for it. Eventually the PC will go to Marleybone and look this war in the face, and we will hammer home the point that the end may not have been worth the means. Point 3 applies - Catbeard misled the PC, and the PC will ultimately do a lot to set things right. Remember: the story isn't done yet. We still have more to tell, and the best is yet to come.
Breaking Up a Wedding: This one falls under the Evil Empire justification: Moomori's a willing party in Tso's treason - General Tso is working with the Armada to engineer a coup, kill the sleeping Emperor, and seize MooShu. He has a soft spot for his Chicken, but that's his one redeeming feature. The Yakooza targets Moomori as a way to weaken Tso. Honestly, I built this beat on a wedding because it was different - I thought a non-violent Plan A would be a good change of pace. Instead of just sneaking into a fortress and clobbering everybody for the ten thousandth time or attacking Moomori outright, the idea of making him lose face via public embarrassment felt uniquely MooShu, and had a lot of silly potential built in. Embarrassing graffiti and having to put on a silly Kowbooki costume land this episode in the ridiculous joke category, and created welcome diversions from 'just go and fight everyone in there.'
In conclusion: we carefully considered these themes before we put them in, and on the whole I think we struck a good balance. The pirates of our story aren't gangsters - they're imperfect heroes who make the occasional mistake, but work hard to make good after. Bad company may lead them astray from time to time, but ultimately, our pirates do far more good than evil. I don't think any comparison to Grand Theft Auto is fair - we're more Tangled's Flynn or Han Solo than we are to Jack Sparrow (who really is revealed as a terrible, terrible person once you look closely at his actions and choices).
That said, as always, PLEASE review the game and make your own judgments as to whether or not you feel this game is right for your family. At KingsIsle we do the best we can to make games that we would feel comfortable playing with our children, and as a parent I take this responsibility very seriously. But ultimately, all of this is subjective - it is up to each parent to decide what is appropriate for their family.
I hope that by offering some of my perspective and intent, I can help bring themes and ideas to the surface that might be hidden in a very long story arc, and help turn plot points into points of discussion between parents and kids. Keep looking, and giving us your feedback - we've softened plots points due to tester feedback, and your comments will help us shape the narrative going forward.
We hope that you really enjoy what we have created, but we also recognize that not everyone is going to like it or approve with every call we make. If you decide Pirate101 is not the right game for you or your family, we will be disappointed, but we will certainly understand and respect your decision.

Very nice points; it's very interesting to see how certain parts of the story come together. I'm currently working to reunite the maginficent 7, but I like the different stories of each character as well (both in main and side quests, though some can be a bit tedious and annoying at times).
If you don't mind me asking, I would love to post this on pirate101 central (and maybe w101c as well) so everyone else can see this too (just in case some people don't come here to view it), or if you want to, you can choose to post it there yourself, it's up to you

"The Player is constantly taking enemies into the fold and changing them into heroes"
Whereas it took a group of heart-of-gold, loyal companions (i.e. Luke, Leia, R2D2, need I go on) to inspire Hans to change his ways, it is primarily the example set by our PC that inspires these enemies to leave their wicked ways.
Thank you for addressing the issues raised directly and with candor.

Blind Mew, first, thank you very much for your in depth perceptions and allowing us a peek into the thought processes that go into this game. It has been one of the things that I've truely enjoyed about the beta testing - the ability to get a bit more in depth understanding of the game. Secondly, I think you have done an excellent job finding that balance. Pirate, like Wizard, provides many unexpected teaching moments for our kids. I have one child that has mild Asbergers that takes things very literally and struggles with understanding many concepts. My other child is a brainiac, so I use different teaching approaches with both. They both easily get the concept of their character is doing good, even if in an extraordinary way.
This game is no where near close to something like Grand Theft Auto (not allowed in my house) or even Need for Speed - Carbon (have it with reservations). The comic nature of this game I believe transports us back to a simpler time when our imaginations allowed us to be heros no matter what game we were playing. It takes us to the comic violence of Tom and Jerry, Bugs and Daffy and many more. While there are those that feel violence should be banned in any kids game, I think the evidence is there that back in the Tom and Jerry days, we did not see the violence transferred from our entertainment to our real life. I believe this was because parents were not afraid to be parents and took up the responsibility of teaching their children more so than many do now. This game gives many opportunities to open a discussion with your children. It is an opportunity that many need to take, since they seem to avoid it in other areas. As you said parents will have to review the game and make their own decisions, but I for one, find this to be an excellent family friendly addition.

I think this got posted as I was composing my long response - long story short, stopping the Armada is the higher good. And our story is a long one - we're going to go live with about 60% of our Main Story operational.
The way we've crafted it, Chapter 4 is where the arc to heroism begins. In Cool Ranch you take the heroic path again and again, and get a taste for it - the diversion back to Skull Island and Catbeard's scheme is a relapse into grayer ways, but it has ongoing repercussions well beyond MooShu.

Thank you, Blind Mew, for taking the time (and space) to provide such an excellent, in-depth explanation. While I have absolutely no problem with the game's storyline, I allow that some people might be more sensitive to moral dilemmas. It's quite the tight-rope a family-friendly game design has to walk. I think Kingsisle does a wonderful job of tying in the humor, pop references, animations, storylines , etc., to draw in folks of all ages for this wonderful gaming experience.
Wow Mew that really explains a lot of things about this game that i'll be honest I didn't even think of having that connection.
-On a side note I have a post on teh question board that I would like answered if you can.
eggywig
Blind Mew has a point, I'd like to add to it. The character really isn't a true hero. But true heroes can be boring. The character leans a little towards anti-hero, characters who have the same goal as the good guys, but their methods are usually a bit backwards or twisted compared to the heroes'.Similar to these figures, the player sometimes has to do a few things that a hero wouldn't do, but it's still for the greater good, examples being what the original poster was mentioning, the Presidio thing, and so on. Bottom line is, pirates are not, nor ever have been, very good people, but they get what they want, and what your pirate wants is (thankfully) an Armada free world, or the greater good.

"As the head writer, I wanted to give you the response this topic deserve..."
Blind Mew, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed response. (Oh yah, you're definitely a writer. It was a pleasure to read.)
The main reason I'm posting, (and no need to respond, I just hope you see this), is because now that I know who the head writer is, I can finally show my appreciation to the right person. I love the writing. I love the dialogue, the puns, the play on words and jokes that you all create. I can think of a dozen examples off the top of my head that had me laughing, entertained and grinning at the references. Of all of the work that goes on, (and I really do thank them all), the writers and the artists are my favorites.
This may not be what actually happens but when I read something particularly hilarious, I imagine you all sitting around brainstorming and cracking up with all of your ideas. I understand it's a lot of work but I also wonder just how much fun you all are having when you create. As a writer myself, (not professionally although I do get paid here and there), I envy your job.
Thank you. You are a big part of what makes this game a lot of fun for me.
