Metal Gear Solid 2: I'll Get An Action Movie With Everything On It

This essay is not only full of spoilers, it's written with the assumption that you've never played this game and never will.
THIS WOULDN'T BE A GOOD METAL GEAR SOLID 2 ESSAY IF THERE WASN'T TOO MUCH OF IT
The opening hour and a half of Metal Gear Solid 2 could almost convincingly pass as a great, conventional sequel. The basic plot is that Revolver Ocelot, having survived the events of what is now known as the Shadow Moses Incident, has started selling Metal Gear REX plans on the black market, and Snake and Otacon have teamed up to create Philanthropy, an anti-Metal Gear organisation officially recognised by the UN ("Recognised, but still fringe," Snake observes). It's a fundamentally dramatic setup where the events of the first game have spilled out into the larger world in a plausible way. Snake sneaks onto a ship that's navigating down the Hudson River (by invisibly bungee-jumping off the Washington Bridge, which is even more awesome than it sounds) to investigate a tip that the Navy have built a knock-off called Metal Gear RAY, only for Ocelot and Gurlukovich (the Russian backing up Liquid in the last game) to rock up and steal RAY, with Ocelot turning on Gurlukovich at the last second. But there are a few really strange notes scattered around this symphony.
The first obviously immediately strange bit is when you see a shadow of Vulcan Raven, a member of FOXHOUND you killed in Metal Gear Solid, cast on the wall; you walk around the corner, and find a toy placed in front of a flashlight. It raises a lot of questions. Who would make a toy of a soldier in a top-secret military outfit? Why would it be on this boat? Who set it up in front of a flashlight, and why? The sheer unreality of this moment finally forces the question: why did the game designers put this here? It's an uncanny choice. The most obviously strange bit is when Ocelot is suddenly possessed by the spirit of Liquid Snake, having had Liquid's arm transplanted on his own after the Cyborg Ninja cut it off, at which point Liquid starts mocking Snake as an inferior copy of their father that will soon be irrelevant to the world ("You're drowning in time!"). The most important bit, and the one that will float over most player's heads the first time, is that when you save for the first time, Otacon will quote various sources and give you advice based on them in imitation of Mei Ling, who did the same thing in the first game. The thing is, he's really bad at it, never fully grasping the meaning of the quotes he chooses and often reversing them – he quotes The Three Musketeers ("The book, not the candy bar.") motto, "All for one and one for all", but believes it means that taking on everyone alone will get you ganged up on. It takes something from the first game and deliberately creates an inferior copy of it by completely missing the point.
CREATION MYTH
Hideo Kojima intended Metal Gear Solid to be the final entry in the Metal Gear series. The first two games, Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, were released on the 3DO, with some critical and commercial success, and Kojima had high ambitions in taking the series to the powerful new PlayStation console, reassembling old cliches from Hollywood action movies he loved into a statement on free will, destiny, responsibility, war, nuclear weapons, pacifism, and Hollywood action movies. He viewed Metal Gear Solid as the summation of everything he was, could do, and believed in, and so he was quite offended when players delighted in the bloody action, identified strongly with Snake as a badass killing machine as opposed to haunted, emotionally broken anti-hero, and demanded a sequel so they could live out more violent power fantasies.
The Bad Fan was something that sprung up a lot in the discussions around Breaking Bad – people who were in it to see Walter White own everybody and get away with it – with a lot of digital ink spilled asking how the series ought to react to these Bad Fans. The conclusion ultimately satisfied nobody as it hemmed and hawed and let Walt get as much of what he wanted in the end as it could get away with. David Chase, creator of The Sopranos, had his own Bad Fans, people who tuned in to a series about the decline of the American Dream to see guys get whacked; he dealt with them by passive-aggressively taking their money. Fans of The Shield, of course, love their series for not giving two shits what anybody thought of it. Hideo Kojima, in contemplating his own Bad Fans, chose a much stranger path: he asked himself how he could direct every element of a video game in order to convey to these Bad Fans that they ought to go fuck themselves. His first step was to advertise Metal Gear Solid 2 as starring Solid Snake.
DOESN'T HAVE A POINT OF VIEW, KNOWS NOT WHERE HE'S GOING TO
The first big twist of the game, and the one for which it has become most notorious, is at the ninety minute mark: the tanker goes down with Snake in it, and we jump to two years later. A project called the Big Shell has been set up to clean up the oil spill left behind by the tanker, and a special ops unit has gone rogue, kidnapped the US President on his tour of the facility, and threatened to unleash millions of tonnes of crude oil if their demands aren't met, so one man from FOXHOUND, codenamed 'Snake', is sent in to stop them… except Snake will have his codename changed to 'Raiden' at the last second, and when he takes off his mask, he's an androgynous pretty boy with long blonde hair. I'm gonna skip to the end here: the whole plot turns out to be an experiment by a superintelligent AI to see if it could manipulate a person with the careful distribution of information into doing anything it wanted, and it chose to put Raiden through the first experiment because he would be the easiest to manipulate.
His backstory, when revealed late in the game, is tragic not in the badass way Snake's is, but in a sad and kind of pointless way; he was a child soldier who massacred a lot of people in the kinds of wars developed countries just kind of ignore, and as an adult he's happy to push it completely out of his mind. Even outside of that, Raiden is an uncharismatic dork; his English voice actor, Quinton Flynn, gives him a nasal whine and a naive enthusiasm, and Raiden often finds himself completely out of his depth in a way that's less badass and more flailing. The AI chose to put him through a facsimile of the Shadow Moses incident because he's self-loathing enough to want to take up the identity of Solid Snake and emotionally weak enough not to question the opportunity too much when it arises.
MAN, HE REALLY HATES WAYNE ROGERS
The game is famous as a satire of the very idea of sequels; it shows strong influence from John Carpenter's Escape From LA in how it satirises the previous entry by hitting the same beats but with a greater level of absurdity. I think Kojima really had it both ways with what he was doing; he mocked Bad Fans by bringing in exactly what they wanted, a cheap recreation of the experience they'd already had, but he also went to the effort of reversing one or another element from the original to make it a genuinely pleasurable experience. The original game was set over the course of a single night in the snow, so the sequel is set during a bright, sunny day. This principle is best shown in the boss fights; in the original, you fight Vulcan Raven, a big muscular Inuit guy who slowly stalks you around a warehouse full of boxes, and you take him down by laying explosives and shooting rockets up his ass. In the sequel, you fight Fatman, a fat guy who speeds around you on roller skates planting explosives that you then have to disarm.
The television show M*A*S*H had one creative stroke of genius that it kept doing over and over to consistently great results – whenever they had to replace a character, they always went to the effort of making the replacement the exact opposite of the previous character in some way. Henry Blake was a pushover who had been drafted into the Korean War, and Sherman Potter had been an Army doctor his whole life; Frank Burns was a completely incompetent, utterly tasteless buffoon, and Charles Emerson Winchester III was actually better than Hawkeye and was a proud member of the upper crust, with a sophisticated sensibility. I would call this a second principle of creativity: when forced to repeat something, keep one part exactly the same and reverse everything else. This is something I have applied myself to storytelling already, in that when ripping something off, I often disguise my blatant plagiarism by taking only the thing I want and flipping over everything else.
That's not the only interesting thing the game does with structure. I said before that the final twist is that Raiden is being manipulated by AIs, and this is merely the bottom of a long line of twists. Beloved commentor and occasional Solute contributor ZoeZ remarked once that she hated when people defended bad writing with "it's supposed to subvert your expectations," to which she would reply with, "Yes, it subverted my expectation of being entertained." It's a wonderful line to make me feel slightly embarrassed to say that Metal Gear Solid 2 plays with the very nature of storytelling by pushing down on the concept until it completely breaks. It works on the same principles as the first game by giving the audience a series of facts and revealing some of them are lies, except this time literally everything is a lie. The game actually goes to the point of hiding twists under other, more obvious twists – one of the funniest jokes in anything I've ever seen is the fact that Raiden meets a Navy SEAL named Iroquois Pliskin who looks exactly like Solid Snake, has the same voice actor, the same gruff professionalism, clearly broke in from the bottom like Raiden instead of coming in via helicopter like all the other SEALs, and uses every military motto aside from the actual motto of the US Navy SEALs, and never completely twigs on to the fact that this man is Snake until he's told.
(Also hilarious: a game that goes out of its way to explain how every weapon, set, and character works takes it for granted that you know why Snake would go by Plisken)
That twist disguises the fact that absolutely nothing the player is told is true, and often the first explanation you're given for anything isn't true either. You're told going in that the Big Shell, the facility that Dead Cell take over, is a decontamination facility to clean up the oil spill, but actually it's a secret R&D facility for Metal Gear, but actually it is itself a giant Metal Gear, the all-new Arsenal Gear! Often, people are surprised at how wrong Raiden's conception of his world is (Snake often makes fun of how poorly briefed he is). Reality itself has no grounding; my first theory, formed about fifteen minutes into Raiden's section of the game the very first time I played, was that this was all a VR simulation Raiden had gotten too invested in that started going horribly wrong. All stories, no matter how good or bad, will develop their own language if left to run long enough. The Stargate TV franchise built up an intricate web of exposition that trains the viewer to eventually spot solutions before the characters do; The Simpsons has images and symbols that keep gaining meaning, snowball-like, as the series progresses. Metal Gear Solid shows what happens when you use the same storytelling trick so much it becomes one of your default tools, your default method of communication.
KEEP A COOL HEAD AND ALWAYS CARRY A LIGHTBULB
This is a game about memes. Not stupid jokes or pictures with Impact Font splashed over them, but the concept as defined by Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene. Metal Gear Solid 1 was about the extent to which genes influence our decisions, and this game is about how ideas are selected and passed down from one generation to another. In a monologue famous for being dense and hard to follow but seeming fairly straightforward to your humble author, the superintelligent AIs lay out how ideas are created, and then either grow as more people spread them or wither and die. In the game, there's a conspiracy going back centuries controlling which ideas get spread via mass media, but the rise of the internet has lead to a lot of what the AIs call 'junk data', useless information that clogs up humanity and refuses to die. The AIs were developed by the conspiracy to sort this junk data, to prune out unacceptable ideas and encourage good ones (the AIs themselves get poetic about it, describing themselves as the very will of America come to life, which I think is part of the cause for confusion because reading between the lines they're just computer programs with the different procedures and techniques developed over centuries that got complex enough to become consciousness).
(The game is set in 2009, so congrats to The Solute for surviving the AIs' filter)
When Raiden objects to this as an attack on free will, the AIs brutally mock him as a perfectly poor example of what humanity can do with free will. He was presented with a shoddy wish fulfillment fantasy that could fall apart with the slightest glance and chose to go along with it – even when he could see the holes – because it made him feel like a badass and a hero. As their final proof, they tell him to kill Solidus Snake (long story short, he's Solid Snake's other brother, who raised the child army Raiden was in and also killed his parents why not), so that he may slay his father and truly become Solid Snake. Just for kicks, they taunt him with images of his girlfriend, acting like she's being held prisoner by them when he's not even 100% certain she was ever real at this point. The message is clear: abandoning all sense of identity for escapist fantasy is bad. That is not how the game ends. Hideo Kojima is no David Chase, content to wag his finger at the audience and take their blood money; Kojima has a vision of how his audience can avoid becoming mindless sheep and he'll even lay it out in a way that they'll listen. As Raiden tries to wrap his head around everything that's happened, Snake, the badass awesome hero dude we've spent all game trying to be, appears, lays a hand on Raiden's shoulder, and tells him to carefully pick and choose his values based on his own sense of right and wrong, to discard and take up ideas as he sees fit, and to pass those ideas onto the next generation when he has the opportunity.
IT'S-A ME
I first played Metal Gear Solid 2 at the age of sixteen, drawn to the series after reading about the famously trippy ending of its second entry and the playful deconstructionist approach it had to genre in general. I thought it was the coolest goddamned thing anyone had ever done. The strange tone it takes, simultaneously winking and ironic and breathlessly sincere, often switching from one extreme to the other in a matter of seconds, is the kind of thing I've always gotten a kick out of. How could I not love a game where there's a Romanian wizard with super-strength, super-speed, an ability to walk on water, a penchant for drinking blood that he picked up when he had to survive drinking his family's blood in a collapsed church as a child, who is codenamed Vamp because he's bisexual? How could I not love a game where Snake pulls Otacon out of the trauma of his stepsister getting killed with a super-secret handshake and a hug, and it's the purest moment of joy in the whole story? This story takes the dumbest comic-book ideas possible, photocopies of photocopies of genre tropes, and builds a single coherent work out of them that weaves together a character study and a worldbuilding exercise and a lecture on a sociological phenomenon and a manifesto, and does the work to make sure that not only are all these different elements as good as they can be, they don't contradict each other. Snake is, at once, a representation of Raiden's low self esteem and everything he wishes he was, a study of a man who found peace and aims to pass that peace onto the world at large, a source of information on the political machinations in his world and on soldiering in general, a mouthpiece for Kojima's ideas on an ideal world, and a mouthpiece for Kojima's frustration with his Bad Fans.
The message of the game resonated with me too, in ways I couldn't fully articulate or grasp at sweet sixteen. One of the major things that drew me to the game was the infamous act three turn, when Raiden descends into the bowels of Arsenal Gear (literally – the locations are named after parts of the human digestive system). The iconic image is Raiden running nude through an army of supersoldiers, constantly receiving bizarre messages from his commanding officer that alternate between breaking the fourth wall (most iconic message in this vein: "Turn the game console off right now!") and total word salad (most iconic message in this vein: "I need scissors! 61!"). What's happening on a literal level is actually quite straightforward – one of the AIs has been posing as Colonel Campbell this entire time, and the virus Snake secretly uploaded without Raiden's knowledge fucked it right up. What's more important, what I intuitively grasped that all those other stupid fucks more conventionally-minded players did not is that an emotion that has been actively repressed all game has finally exploded out everywhere like a tantrum in the grocery store.
At the time, I had a strong interest in postmodernism, an ethos known for being vapid, empty bullshit, and a lot of it is, especially now that what was once novel and exciting has become the default tool of every two-bit hack. Metal Gear Solid 2 pulls one of the central emotions of it out: that there is something flimsy and threadbare about the world, that the ideas that hold it up are fragile and prone to collapse at almost any moment, and that this makes existence utterly terrifying. What if, the day after you bought your first car, they banned petrol-based vehicles in favour of electric cars? What if everyone has been lying to you about how biology works? What if everyone just up and decided they hate semicolons for no good reason? The franchise's twist-based storytelling plays off this attitude, and pushes it to an apocalyptic breakdown of reality itself. In retrospect, it's an idea I regarded with equal parts fear and glee. On the one hand, it's the terror of complete powerlessness. On the other, aside from the smug joy in confirmation that everything you were feeling has been proved correct, it's proof that my mind can survive even a total breakdown of reality. Fiction can act as practice mode for life. We can put ourselves through a simulation of something frightening or traumatic – grief, social embarrassment, loss of identity – and make an approximation of what to do the first (or next) time it comes around.
And on the third, mutant hand, it set me up to seriously consider the point Kojima finishes on. If it's true that reality ain't what it's cracked up to be, that ideas can come and go almost at random, and that I'm driven to live in the world anyway, then of course my view of the world – which ideas I hold onto, what my sense of right and wrong are, what objects and people and institutions and words mean – is a choice I have to get up and make every day. When I thought over the details of this story – how part of what I loved about it was that every character had their own ridiculously detailed backstory that factored into their choices and their ideologies – I decided that what I value is individualism. I like people who fight, even in small ways, to retain their individual identity. I like communities that encourage individual expression. I don't like it when people shut down individual expression, especially individual expression that doesn't actually harm anyone (I like to think I've gotten less naive about the reality of the line between 'personal expression' and 'harming someone'). Most of all, I like developing my worldview. I like looking at the world and deciding for myself what it means. I like breaking my reality, putting myself through Raiden's Big Shell experience over and over, seeking out ideas that upend my view of reality and leave me angry, frightened, or humiliated. I like expanding my worldview, discarding old ideas and meanings for new ones.
MY TRANSFORMATION INTO METAL GEAR SOLID CHARACTER ENDS
As you might guess by the fact that I am no longer sixteen, this was not the end of my story. Beloved Soluter Conor Malcolm Crockford linked this article last week, and one of its fundamental precepts seems to be that we only learn things from fiction – that once we've internalised an idea we've picked up from a movie or book or short story, we'll spend the rest of our lives acting it out, as if the stories of real human beings finish at the end credits of a movie and the rest is a sad, pointless rollout of the inevitable. If there's any small proof about the limits of what fiction can do – especially fiction that aims to lecture its audience – it's that after having this moving, profound experience playing Metal Gear Solid 2, I went against almost everything I laid out above. When I was twenty, I was drawn into that online community of young leftists that don't call themselves anything except maybe 'good people' but are often referred to by detractors as SJWs (I keep trying to call them the New Tens Counterculture, but honestly I've come to accept that such a clinical, dispassionate term will never catch on until they fade into history). To be fair to my younger self, I was initially drawn to the community out of compassion for women and minorities, a curiosity for a bunch of strange new ideas, and the humility to work through the 'fuck white men and the horse they rode in on' rhetoric on the surface of those ideas. With time, I formed relationships that evolved into a support network, and the typical things happened – friendship, camaraderie through difficult times that often felt as if it were us up against all the evils of the world, and confessions (amongst other things, it was in that community I found the strength to admit I was bisexual).
It was with time that I started to smell bullshit. I realise "I was the only one keeping it real, maaaan" is a cliche, especially for leftists, but I really did feel as if I was in it because I genuinely wanted to find some kind of fundamental moral truth at any cost (again, including my dignity) and that not only did not everyone share this commitment, it felt like everyone was putting their pettiest, most superficial desires above everything. At first it was a lot of little things, like the pointless hair-splitting fights, such as who precisely fits under the queer umbrella, and occasionally these fights were massive site-wide skirmishes that lasted for a few days. I brushed these off as something the community would grow out of once definitions of terms were more solidly set. Then, one day, a massive outing of sexual predators occurred, exactly like the one that started in Hollywood in 2018; I wasn't offended by the bewilderment of, say, Louis CK fans, because I had gone through exactly the same thing a few years earlier, hurt and surprised that someone I admired could be so awful, though in my case it was married to the shock that someone who said all the right words could be so grossly hypocritical.
I looked at the people around me, and saw people who blamed everyone but themselves. I saw people who took no responsibility for creating and propagating the language these people used to commit awful deeds, instead digging into their perception of themselves as good people who did nothing wrong and continuing on the exact same way they always did. I saw nobody doing what I was doing, alone and silently: going over all the details, trying to find whatever turned these people into the monsters they were and if I shared any of that with them. What I did in terms of, like, actually doing shit was nothing. As far as anyone knew, I was just continuing on as normal, just like everyone else. I was sacrificing my individuality – my moral code, my perception of events – for both a broad collective stability, and for the love of my seemingly entirely unaffected friends. That was a turning point; afterwards, I couldn't help but see the static cycle of outrage, rationalisation, and return to status quo a little more degraded, not too dissimilar to the overall arc of The Sopranos.
(I don't know how melodramatic this looks from the outside, but it does shock me looking back how this was the most important thing in the world to me at one point)
I can point to The Simpsons and say with clarity that it taught me the psychology and language of angry mob justice; Metal Gear Solid 2 came into my life late enough that I don't know if it taught me something new about individuality or simply awakened something that was always there and gave it specific words and faces and ideas. I suppose it doesn't matter at this point. What does matter is that, if fiction is so powerful and the ideas we take from are apocalyptically important, why didn't I act on beliefs I sincerely held, that were so fervently pushed on me, that I put tremendous thought into? Do we have to see the negative before the positive is hammered into our brains? Was I simply weaker than most other people? More passive? More humble? Do most young adults find themselves coming short when it comes to acting on their beliefs in some way, and I was simply acting out a pattern as old as human beings? Should I be happy the damage from my personal failure was as limited as it was? Regardless of all this, my experience has given me a degree of skepticism when it comes to fiction's ability to pass on messages, positive or negative. I don't know how common my experience is, but I know the number of weak humans is higher than zero, and I know an idea is only as strong as the person wielding it.
LIBYA IS A LAND OF CONTRASTS, THANK YOU
I can't imagine any regular Soluter enjoying Metal Gear Solid 2 to the extent I do. It came into my life right when I needed it, and it's such a delicate balancing act that it's astounding that anyone liked it. Reaction was overwhelmingly negative, with most players not even understanding it and most of those who came within spitting distance of getting it dismissing it as pretentious bilge. Supporters have quietly but firmly kept a light burning for it, but in all honesty it's something that depends so strongly on the moment it was released – on your expectations of a conventional Metal Gear Solid sequel, on the marketing buzz that built up to it, on you simply not knowing that a guy named Raiden rocking up ninety minutes in – that I see it fading into history. Already, new generations of gamers are being surprised by many of the exact same twists and morals coming back in new games, though not with the density of MGS2. The fact that I loved it was the result of a staggering balancing act in itself; I had to find Raiden sympathetic, and I had to find the game's abuse of him hilarious, and I had to be delighted by the fact that it told a certain segment of the population to get fucked, and I had to think action movies are awesome, and I had to be willing to avoid spoilers past the second act reveal, and I had to be not just okay with preachy monologues but enthusiastic about them. In a lot of ways, this is a story for teenagers, looking for someone to explain things to them in terms they understand. It feels arrogant of me to expect people to mold themselves into the mindset I had just to enjoy a video game 'properly'. It's enough for me that I had that experience, and that I can factor that experience into my life moving forward.

Celebrity Holocaust Nazis
The Nazis & Dr. Ruth, Israeli Sniper/Sex Therapist
The Nazis, the Haganah and a Feisty Dr. Ruth
Say "Dr. Ruth" to just about anybody and they will smile widely and tell you that she is the tiny, 4'7", crazy television and radio sex therapist with the thick German accent.
America's most lovable sex guide, though, led a harrowing life that involved Nazi concentration camps, the extermination of her parents, a flight to Switzerland as a child, work as an Israeli sniper, and getting blown up with the Haganah, the paramilitary unit in post-war Palestine.
In the 1980s, as a sex therapist, she shot to fame in a successful television show that lasted several years. She made hundreds of appearances on late night talk shows on which the doctor beamed that memorable smile and told scandalous tales about naked men hiding behind couches.
The unusual beginning of her life was the Holocaust, that seems to have been forgotten over the years.
When Karola Siegel (Dr. Ruth) was eleven years old, her parents, Orthodox Jews in Frankfurt, Germany, were arrested by the Nazis and taken away. Ruth, 11, wound up as one of 300 children of concentration camp detainees who were deported. She wound up in Switzerland in the winter of 1939; she never saw her parents again.
When World War II ended, young Siegel, a devout Jew, immigrated to Palestine and joined the fierce Jewish freedom fighters the Haganah. She was tiny and hard to see so they gave her a rifle and trainer her as a sniper. One night she and others were victims of a vicious bomb attack. She lost part of her foot in the explosion and was unable to walk for months.
She married an Israeli and moved to Paris with him in 1950. They split and she moved to New York in 1956, where she married, and divorced, husband number two. Later she married Manfred Westheimer, whom she lived with until his death 36 years later.
All of this is chronicled in Becoming Dr, Ruth, a charming, absorbing and yet at times chilling and bone rattling new play by Mark St. Germain that just opened in New York. It stars short, effervescent Debra Jo Rupp as Dr. Ruth in a tour de force performance that is as funny as it is memorable.
The first two thirds of the play chronicle Westheimer's days in World War II and teenaged years fighting in the Israeli War of Independence. The last third covers her fame as the accidental and very unlikely sex therapist who won the hearts of everyone who listened to her on WYNY-FM radio or saw her on television starting in the 1980s. It is a treasure trove of history, all told through the story of this one small victim of the Holocaust.
Rupp goes into the story of the Holocaust in sickening detail, recalling the night the Nazis ravaged Jewish businesses, Kristallnacht, the Jewish ghettos, the trains and the extermination camps. It is riveting and all the more scalding because the tale is being told by this tiny woman recalling it all as a child. Throughout the play, Ruth goes back to the Holocaust again and again, crying over the death of her parents and sighing in relief that somehow, someway, she was saved and made it to America.
The play is a shuddering look at history in Germany in the late 1930s and the 1940s and the early days of Israel. It is also a rather amusing look at sex later and the way that so many Americans are absolutely obsessed by it.
The story is told by Dr. Ruth in the living room of her New York apartment. Director Julianne Boyd used the living room set designed by Brian Prather well, having Dr. Ruth pick up boxes, look at photos and make phone calls. One person shows are hard to stage and this well-appointed set gives actress Rupp the chance to walk about and keep the show fresh.
Rupp is a whirlwind as Dr. Ruth. She has the accent (Dr. Ruth always called it her German-Israeli-American accent) down perfectly, along with her mannerisms and gestures. She is never better than in the segment where she recreates Dr. Ruth's fabled radio show and tells the story of the naked couple hiding behind the living room couch when caught in the sex act by their five year old daughter.
The play appears to be winding up as yet another triumphant tribute to a famous TV personality when Dr. Ruth suddenly shows a large photo of three kids on the wall at the rear of the stage. "These are my grandchildren," she said, looking lovingly at the trio. "Hitler lost and I won."
You just had to stand up and cheer at that. The symbolism is shocking. There they are, three beautiful kids whom the Nazis could not kill. Good does win out over evil.
People walk into the theater expecting two hours of funny sex stories. They get them, but they also get hours of harrowing history about the Holocaust and the very big victory over it by this very little woman.
PRODUCTION: The play is produced by the Westside Theater and the Barrington Stage Company. Sets: Brian Prather, Costumes: Jennifer Moeller, Lighting: Scott Pinkney. Sound: Jennifer Paz. The play is directed by Julianne Boyd. The play runs through January 12.

So, are 'manager' and 'leader' simply words at the end of the day? Does it really matter what we call people – 'manager' or 'leader'? Isn't it the behaviours we want to experience, rather than what someone is called, that is important?
And, if it does matter, why do so many organisations continue to hire for the role of 'manager' when what they really want are 'leaders'? Oh, you don't think organisations do that? So, how come there are so many leadership programmes for 'managers'?
Maybe it is time to approach this in a different way.
Time to consider this…perhaps the behaviours we experience come from the labels we give to people. After all, if we think someone is miserable, we will find that they act in a miserable way! Conversely, if we believe someone to be happy, we will find that they behave in a happy way.
So, if we take this to be true, instead of defining a difference how about starting with the label we give people. Have the person BE a leader by taking the title of 'leader'. Perhaps then, you will find that person will DO leadership.
NextThe most important thing about goals is having one!

The last two weeks have been fairly expensive ones for me. I went quite awhile without adding a lot of expenses and it was a streak that I expected to end at some point.
I went to three Red Sox – Athletics baseball games last week. The tickets were $30 a piece, but the seats were exceptional seats. Parking and tolls cost me $20 each day and it was probably another $25 in gas for all three days. Food, wow, it's very pricey. A single draft domestic beer at Oakland Coliseum was $7.50. It did seem like it might be a 20 oz. beer, but that's still really expensive for a team that can only put 27,000 people in the seats – half of them rooting for the away team. Of course this a bargain compared to tickets in Boston, which are so difficult to get, your best bet is through an agency at a ridiculous mark-up.
I followed that up with a $280 purchase of my travel computer that I described yesterday. My spending didn't stop there. Last night, the spending continued. We had friends coming from out of town, so we went out for dinner. We found a fairly cheap place so the damage was minimal.
It looks like we're going to have to start seriously saving again. I imagine it will last about a month, when we have to write the final checks for the wedding. After that though, we are going to start a grand two year savings plan. It might even include our first attempt at budgeting.
Tickets for a game involving the Red Sox for $30 – I'd say that's worthwhile! Here in Boston I'd have to sell a kidney to have half a chance at nosebleed seats.
I also enjoy going to minor league games where the environment is just as fun, but everything is much cheaper! You don't get to watch your favorite MLB teams, so the splurge of going to a big league game every once and awhile is always worth it.
I find it amusing to see people spend like this and then write about personal finance!
I don't know what Minimum Wage is talking about. What is the point of saving money if you can't spend it on something you enjoy? All good budgets allow for a "Fun" basket that lets you spend some of your savings on things that you will enjoy like vacations and BASEBALL GAMES.
At The Bottom has a great point. I like to liken it to a diet. I know professional nutritionists who eat foods that aren't perfectly healthy at least some of the time. In fact they almost universally recommend that you eat some of the unhealthy foods that you enjoy, so that you stay on the diet. Sometimes choosing to lose a battle can help you win the war.
As Jon mentioned above, Red Sox games are typically a lot more – probably about twice of what I paid for all three games in Boston. Since they come out to Oakland once a year, it fits well within my usual baseball expenses. Considering that my other entertainment costs are kept very low for my income, it should not be a problem.
Additionally the money spent on a travel computer can actually be thought of as an investment. This site makes me money and being able to update it and keep in touch with readers and advertisers on the road should end up paying off in the long haul.
There is no "Fun" basket in my budget; I earn minimum wage and have student loan debt. In fact, I have worked for 30 years and have never had a vacation.
MW: I recommend working to increase your income above minimum wage.
Good luck with your saving. I stared such a program less than a year ago and it can get hard at times.
It is all about finding a balance between spending and saving. I believe that nobody should go without vacationing. What is the point of living if all what you do is work? I know some people get their kicks out of work (I enjoy what I do a lot, too) but there should be a limit.
Minimum Wage, I agree with Lazy Boy [editor: Lazy Boy is trademarked name not affiliated with this site ;-)]. There are a bunch of good sites out there that can help you work towards an income increase. You can start with basic research and see what the market for your type of job is (a good place for this is salary.com – if you are willing to put up with their ads).
I wish I could start a reasonable savings plan. I can't save two nickels to rub together. I'm trying working longer hours for overtime pay to see if that'll help. Hopefully it will before it kills me.
I am a boomer with nothing which could be considered "career-related" experience. Employers don't hire inexperienced people my age for "good" jobs. I don't expect there is a better job in my future.
How did you get red sox ticekts for only $30! That's a steal, was it out west? Darn I didn't think Fenway had tickets that cheap.
I don't think that's really material. We work for food, shelter, clothing AND entertainment. If your budget were perfect, there would be no need for us to oogle.

GEORGE H. MARSHALL vs. ORLANDO W. NORCROSS.
Present: KNOWLTON, C. J., MORTON, HAMMOND, LORING, & SHELDON, JJ.
Negligence, Employer's liability.
In an action by a workman against a building contractor by whom he was employed, for injuries from an angle iron which was being removed from an iron girder falling upon him, it appeared that the plaintiff when injured was working on the fifth story of a ten story building in process of construction, that the girder from which the iron fell was on the seventh story, and that no flooring had been placed between the fifth and the seventh stories as required in the construction of iron or steel framed buildings by St. 1901, c. 166, that the plaintiff was an experienced workman fifty-three years of age and had been at work upon the building for three weeks. There was no evidence that the men engaged in the work of removing the iron from the girder were incompetent, and no evidence of any negligence on the part of the foreman who gave the order for the removal of the iron or on the part of the foreman who directed the plaintiff where to work. The presiding judge instructed the jury that, if the failure to cover the open stories by flooring was apparent to the plaintiff and he appreciated the risk, he assumed the risk, but submitted the case to the jury who returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Held, that the case should not have been submitted to the jury; that the plaintiff must have known of the absence of the flooring and hence as matter of law assumed the risk of danger arising from non-compliance with the statute.
TORT against Orlando W. Norcross, a general building contractor, doing business under the name of Norcross Brothers, for personal injuries incurred in the manner stated in the opinion between ten and eleven o'clock in the forenoon of November 11, 1901, while the plaintiff was in the employ of the defendant working in the construction of a ten story steel framed brick and stone building, called the Walker Building, on the corner of Boylston Street and Boylston Place in Boston. Writ dated February 15, 1902.
At the trial in the Superior Court before Bishop, J. the defendant in his first six requests asked the judge to rule that
the plaintiff was not entitled to recover on any of the six counts of the declaration. He also asked for the following rulings:
"7. That even if the jury find that the floors above the plaintiff at the time that he was injured were not covered as required by statute, the defendants are not liable therefor, because the failure to cover the floor was apparent to the plaintiff and the risk therefore assumed by him.
"8. That the negligence which was the proximate cause of the plaintiff's injury was the negligence of fellow employees, for which the defendants are not responsible in this action."
The judge refused to make the rulings requested, but submitted the case to the jury, leaving it for them to say whether upon the whole evidence the plaintiff was in the exercise of due care or assumed the risk, and whether the proximate cause of the plaintiffs injury was the negligence of fellow employees, and upon the question of assumption of risk giving the instruction the substance of which is stated in the second paragraph of the opinion.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $3,500; and the defendant alleged exceptions. St. 1901, c. 166, to provide for the better protection of workmen on iron or steel framed buildings, referred to above and in the opinion, is now incorporated in substance in R. L. c. 104, §§ 44-46.
W. H. Hitchcock, for the defendant.
W. A. Abbott, for the plaintiff.
HAMMOND, J. The plaintiff, an employee of the defendant, was injured by the fall of an angle iron upon him while at work upon the fifth story of a ten story building in process of construction. The angle iron was being removed from a certain iron girder to which it had been attached, and the jury would have been justified in finding that the fall was due to the negligent conduct of the men who removed it and who were the fellow servants of the plaintiff.
It appeared that no flooring had been placed between the seventh and fifth floors as required by St. 1901, c. 166, and it was contended that this fact was evidence of the negligence of the defendant. The judge however rightly charged that if this
failure to cover by floors was apparent to the plaintiff and he appreciated the risk, then he assumed the risk. The plaintiff, who was an experienced workman fifty-three years of age, had been at work upon the building three weeks, and upon the evidence there can be no doubt that he knew of the absence of the flooring and hence assumed the risk of danger arising from noncompliance with the statutes.
The men who were engaged in the work of removing the iron from the girder are not shown to have been incompetent men. Both Eastman who was the foreman of the carpenters and iron workers and who gave the order for the removal of the angle iron, and Merz who was the foreman of the masons and as such directed the plaintiff where to work, had the right to assume that due care would be used by the men who were removing the girder, and we see no ground for attributing negligence to either. If there was any negligence it was that of the fellow workmen of the plaintiff.
Exceptions sustained.

'The House That Jack Built' Trailer: Lars Von Trier Is Back With A Serial Killer Drama
By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 1, 2018 10:30 am EST
The director's cut of Lars von Trier's already controversial serial killer film The House That Jack Built is receiving a special one-night-only theatrical screening this month, before releasing an R-rated cut in December. Ahead of those releases, a new trailer has arrived, offering exactly the sort of footage you'd expect from a Lars von Trier serial killer movie. Watch the House That Jack Built trailer below.
The House That Jack Built Trailer
Will The House That Jack Built be any good? Reviews out of Cannes have not been kind. Reviewing for /Film, Andrew Todd wrote: "The House That Jack Built is so very nearly a terrific, smart black comedy about death, art, and morality. But it descends so completely into self-centered masturbation (or more of a cry-wank) that the ultimate takeaway is what a dick the director is." I can't say I'm surprised at that excerpt – it's exactly the type of work I've come to expect from von Trier.
When it comes to von Trier's work, I will freely admit I like (or perhaps the correct term is appreciate) his Antichrist and Melancholia. The rest of his films? They're not for me. But the buzz – negative and otherwise – around The House That Jack Built has me intrigued. So does the cast here: Matt Dillon, Bruno Ganz, Uma Thurman, and Riley Keough.
The House That Jack Built director's cut will play in select theaters on November 28 only. The R-rated cut will arrive in theaters and on VOD December 14.
THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT takes place in 1970s USA. We follow the highly intelligent Jack (Matt Dillon) through 5 incidents and are introduced to the murders that define Jack's development as a serial killer. We experience the story from Jack's point of view. He views each murder as an artwork in itself, even though his dysfunction gives him problems in the outside world. Despite the fact that the final and inevitable police intervention is drawing ever near (which both provokes and puts pressure on Jack) he is – contrary to all logic – set on taking greater and greater chances. Along the way we experience Jack's descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge – a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and in-depth explanations of, for Jack, dangerous and difficult maneuvers
THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT stars Matt Dillon, Bruno Ganz, Uma Thurman, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Sofie Gråbøl and Riley Keough. It was produced by Louise Vest, Jonas Bagger, Bettina Brokemper, Madeleine Ekman, Lizette Jonjic, Tine Grew Pfeiffer and Marianne Slot . The film is a Zentropa Entertainments31, Zentropa Sweden, Slot Machine, Zentropa France and Zentropa Koln Production.

Q: TEE 2012 does not check out files automatically I have TFS Server 2012 SP1.
Eclipse 3.6.2 (Helios Service Release 2).
TEE 11.0.0.201211191425
I see a complete team menu, I can check-out and check-in files manually.
However if I just start editing a file it will not be checked out automatically :( as it did with 2010 before updates.
I have tried to change settings to "Display progress while checking out" and "Prompt before checking out" - no effect.
"Detect changes..." functionality does not work either.
Only if I close the project and then open it again, the modified file will be checked out automatically (only once).
wtf???
UPDATE:
The modified file will be checked out automatically also if I manually check-out/check-in another file in the same project.

A: Problem found
If Visual Studio 2012 is opened on the same PC and connected to the same TFS server, the TEE behaves as described above :(
@Edward Thomson, I think it is a bug. TEE should at least have displayed an error messages.

A: Not sure about your specific TFS or Visual Studio version, however in VS2010 you have:
File > Source Control > Change Source Control

If your Solution/Project is listed like above with no Server Name, Binding etc., select it and click Bind.  That may get things going again

It's the February half term release and the cinemas will be hoping it fills that gap that is entertaining for the children and not too bad for their supervising adults.
Rob Minkoff directs this animation which features a dog called Mr Peabody (Ty Burrell) who, in addition to being a Noble Prize winning genius, adopts a human child called Sherman (Max Charles). Using his time travelling WABAC machine he teaches his son everything he thinks he needs to know. Unfortunately when he starts at school he faces Penny (Ariel Winter) who isn't keen on the smart child. Mr Peabody decides to invite the family around in order to smooth things over and then the fun begins.
A story about time travel or indeed about meeting yourself isn't new. However for the generation this film is aimed at it will be less of a re-tread whilst their parents nod towards Bill & Ted. The pace is good and the quality of the animation very good. We saw it in 2D and did not feel that we were missing out in any way. The music helps keep the tension going. Most of the jokes put a smile on my face even if I didn't find myself laughing – certainly they were a lot better than the Harry Hill film that we saw in the last holiday.
All in all it is not a bad way to spend a cold February afternoon with the family.

Nobody cares for kids and families like Children's Mercy. And Children's Mercy is shouting it from the rooftops in a new campaign that features its very own employees, including rock star nurses who deliver healing to kids, fuel hope for parents and inspire awe in all of us.
The campaign – "For children. For families. For answers." – highlights what no other health care system in the region can provide: 750-plus pediatric specialists, more than 3,000 nationally recognized nurses and 4,500 other colleagues focused solely on transforming children's lives. The campaign, and tagline, more clearly and directly addresses what makes the hospital different through messaging that targets both families and referring physicians in the region.
Click this link to get a sneak peek at the new "It's Our Nurses" TV spot that is now running in Kansas City and Wichita. And be sure and catch a glimpse below of a few of the new billboards already popping up across the metro. Additional TV, radio and digital and social media spots will hit the airwaves over the coming months, highlighting Children's Mercy's unmatched expertise in emergency care, sports medicine and innovation. All will feature patients and employees.
The campaign's first flight of ads will run through December. The second flight is scheduled to run from January through May.
Taking the next step The new campaign builds upon Children's Mercy's popular "Transforming Outcomes" campaign, which launched in 2013 and featured the hospital as a place of transformation, where children receive care that helps them overcome illness and return to their normal lives. The transformations were conveyed via TV, radio, print, billboards and social media ads, and in 2014 began featuring real Children's Mercy patients as the stars.
As Children's Mercy continued to improve value and meet the expectations of kids, families and referring physicians, it sought to leverage what differentiates us from all others in in the market – expertise, experience and a nearly 120-year history of serving every child within the community, regardless of the family's ability to pay.
Fired up! Click here to see an awesome video of our employees sharing their enthusiasm for the new "For children. For families. For answers." campaign.

The beginning and the end
TOPICS:BaseballBaseball playersDeadspinFrancisco CabreraJeterKirbyLuis GonzalezMLBReggie JacksonRobbie RaySportsThe 2022 MLBWorld SeriesYordan Alvarez
Posted By: Anthony Barnett November 7, 2022
Bookends.
If the charm, and sometimes the frustration, of baseball is that everyone gets an AB, the big moments can land on anyone, and any player on the roster could etch his name in history, then it feels as if there is a higher power when the best in the game get to write their signature on something that will go down forever. We know who the greatest are, but only a few get definitive moments that will define a particular season or postseason. There's Reggie. There's Kirby. If I'm being honest, Jeter, too, even though it pains me. All who weren't just some of the best to do it but who will be defined by certain plays or specific moments. This being baseball, they have to share that mantle with the likes of Luis Gonzalez or Francisco Cabrera or Madison Baumgarner. Some really good players, maybe even great at times, but who carry moments that in other sports would belong to the titans only.
The 2022 MLB postseason essentially started with a Yordan Alvarez home run to win a game, and it basically ended with one. Once he shredded a Robbie Ray fastball in Game 1 against Seattle, you kind of knew how this was going to go. He added one more in Game 2, but that's one we won't remember as much. We will remember his World Series Game 6 homer, given not just its importance but its authoritativeness. Same with that homer to kick off the Astros' run. Those moments of contact, the sound they made off the bat, or the way the ball looked blasting off the bat, and the way each cut through the entire moment like wheat, that's what will make them signature. For one brief second, at each end of the playoffs, all there was was Yordan Alvarez pulverizing a baseball. Two instants when the world stopped for him. They will be the Yordan Alvarez Playoffs.
The funny thing of course is that Alvarez was pretty terrible in between those homers. He hit .192 for the three rounds. He struck out 16 times in 61 plate appearances. But no one's going to care too much about that, or even remember it. Reggie Jackson had two hits in the ALCS in 1977, and only two hits in the first four games of the following World Series. Don't hear much about that.
That's probably another charm of baseball. Everyone might get a turn, and you'll always get another one. Alvarez had probably been waiting for three whole rounds for another chance, struggling as he was. The possibility of something memorable was always hanging around. And then it happened. One to erase all the others that came after the first homer. Bookends, except they erase everything in between instead of bracing them.
Alvarez won't care how his postseason will stand in juxtaposition to the bitterness that most of baseball still has toward the Astros and their second World Series in five seasons, to go with their two additional World Series appearances. It won't be long before the "Yeah but…" disappears from every mention of Alvarez's October. Fans outside of Houston can rage all they want, but in 10, 20 years it's more likely that 2017's cheating scandal will be covered in more sand than the replays of Alvarez starting and ending the 2022 postseason. That's how baseball works.
