    1. A 55-year-old Chinese American restaurateur from Georgia was pulled over for minor speeding on Interstate 10 in Alabama and detained for nearly two hours. He was carrying $75,000 raised from relatives to buy a Chinese restaurant in Lake Charles, La. He got back his money 10 months later but only after spending thousands of dollars on a lawyer and losing out on the restaurant deal. A 40-year-old Hispanic carpenter from New Jersey was stopped on Interstate 95 in Virginia for having tinted windows. Police said he appeared nervous and consented to a search. They took $18,000 that he said was meant to buy a used car. He had to hire a lawyer to get back his money. Mandrel Stuart, a 35-year-old African American owner of a small barbecue restaurant in Staunton, Va., was stunned when police took $17,550 from him during a stop in 2012 for a minor traffic infraction on Interstate 66 in Fairfax. He rejected a settlement with the government for half of his money and demanded a jury trial. He eventually got his money back but lost his business because he didn’t have the cash to pay his overhead.

      This is really disappointed and the way I view this as discriminate other nationality and those people cases are happen to my parents as well, they lose so much money because they don't understand English, and pulled over my police for minor issues. so whatever they lawyer asked they have to find money and paid them. very sad....

      This all makes me feel disgusted especially with how long it took for these people to get their money back.

    1. An edition for iPad is expected in 2011, and an edition for 64-bit Windows will follow shortly.

      I see no iPad edition. Also, I would like to invite everyone to read Mark Bernstein's comments here in the voice of the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons, as suggested to me by @mwsmedia

      Worst. E-lit customer service. Ever.

    1. Networked life reminds us, over and over again, that there is no home without connections to the outside, no house without windows and doors.

      Home page, home screen, go "home"

    1. Just as the WTh1P (Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers) interfaces of mod­ern computers provide a context for much digital literature, it is also important to note that other digital literature embeds its computation and data in utterly different contexts. Perhaps it will help clarify the issues if we ask ourselves an­other puzzling question, such as one first posed to me by Roberto Sima­nowski: How do we understand the difference benveen Guillaume Apolli­naire's "Il Pleut" and Camille Utterback and Romy Achituv's Text Rain? Apol­linaire's poem is made up of letters falling down the page like rain. Utterback and Achituv's installation takes a video image of the audience standing before it and projects that image on the wall in front of the audience, Vlith the addi­tion (m the video scene) of the letters of a poem falling down like rain and resting on the bodies of their readers. Obviously, one difference is the passage of time in Text Rain1 and another difference is that Text Rain is audience inter­active (lifting up a hand on which letters rest causes them to be raised as well). But, at least as fundamentally, another difference is that Text Rain is situated in a physical space other than a printed page or a computer screen, in which the method of interactiori is the movement of the readers' bodies (which are rep­resented within the work itself).

      We should deepen this point of discussion. The book as its only support was in fact trying to be re-signified (mirrored reading, page disposition, text flow). E-literature presents itself as an intersemiotic active support, as the Raymond Queneau digital version of A hundred thousand billion sonnets we've seen on http://www.growndodo.com/wordplay/oulipo/10%5E14sonnets.html.

      So does this mean the home owners can't even look out their own windows without permission?

    1. Another London with its Tower

      This line shares a theme of revelation along with it's partnered lines in the third stanza, but also exemplifies the theme of the cabinet in deep metaphor.

      1. The theme of revelation in this stanza shows how the narrator, due to his interactions with the maiden mentioned prior, gains a new interpretation of the world he lives in. This new interpretation starts broad then narrows down using England imagery that exemplifies specific constructs. This narrowing begins within this line with the example being the man made portion, London and London Tower (refer to part 2). Then in contrast, the natural images; the Thames, the hills, the Surrey bower (which end the stanza over the next two lines.

      2. This line is a direct connection between the revelation and the cabinet theme. It is mentioned that the cabinet is formed of gold, pearl, and crystal. This can have multiple meanings; the cabinet is created from, was paid for with, or contains said materials. Looking into the "new London" part of the line, we see that the narrator sees the city as more then a city. Look at London Tower, a place that is just like the cabinet in all three ways. It was built to be white and pearly, adorned with gold, and have massive windows. The castle was paid for with riches, and it also holds riches within. So this is what the narrator is now seeing, all the ways something can hold more then one feeling or meaning as well as be a "cabinet" of its own.

    1. Innovation does not happen with "design by committee". The most important job of the leader is unleashing the creativity of individual engineers by just setting clear goals, and trusting them. 

      Is there a word for the opposite of micro-management? Perhaps simply "leadership"?

    1. eyes are the windows into a person’s soul.

      I actually didn't even think of the relationship between this saying and the book. But I think you’re right about how the eyes of each character connects with their possession or lack of humanity/“human-ness” and even the shifts in personality for the Gang. Though what can be told from the eyes may not be what separates humans from others, it’s still an important part of how people connect to each other. I noticed this a lot when I shadowed a surgeon and the majority of everyone’s faces were covered--masks covered nose and mouth and the caps covered forehead. The only part of each others’ faces you could see were eyes, but you could still tell how the others felt, what they were thinking because of the way their eyes looked. The eyes are a big part of how people socialize with each other.

    2. eyes

      Your idea of the eyes describing the soul of each of the characters is a cool aspect to view the story. While I was reading your blog, I began to think, “What about the aliens?” As the story has told, the aliens are known to have many, many eyes all over their body to help with identifying objects and possible threats. Diving deeper, the amount of eyes degrades the value of them for the alien. As humans (or vampires), the rest of the crew has only two, making them valuable windows to the soul, but the aliens have many which reflect nothing, but their ability to detect. This, in part, shows their functionality, but shows emptiness inside.

    3. If the eyes truly are the windows to the sould, Jukka Sarasti has some serious blackout curtains.

      Nicely put. He remains a mystery because it's hard to tell who is home (if anyone). The conclusion of the novel casts additional doubt in these directions.

    1. The wall-paper, as I said before, is torn off in spots

      In the same way the image of the barred windows of the nursery suggest entrapment; the image of the peeling wallpaper becomes a metaphor for her mental deterioration

    2. the windows are barred

      Gilman again explores the theme of isolation and entrapment, the windows being barred suggests a lack of control and a restriction of freedom.

    3. At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candle light, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars! The outside pattern I mean, and the woman behind it is as plain as can be.

      This is probably exactly what she looks like from outside of the house, a woman who wants to escape from her barred windows.

    4. He says no one but myself can help me out of it, that I must use my will and self-control and not let any silly fancies run away with me.

      This shows the hopelessness of the mentally ill, especially women, during that time period. Often women were seen as "hysterical" and locked away. She is treated as inferior and "silly" whenever she has a request. If her husband was truly trying to make her well, he wouldn't have isolated her in a room that I'm fairly certain housed other mentally ill patients. Why else would there be bars on the windows and a bold down bed?

    5. He said that after the wall-paper was changed it would be the heavy bedstead, and then the barred windows, and then that gate at the head of the stairs, and so on.

      Heavy indication of the house being a confinement for the narrator.

    6. It was nursery first and then playroom and gymnasium, I should judge; for the windows are barred for little children, and there are rings and things in the walls.

      Uhhh...nursery and gymnasium or torture chamber?

    1. This is kinda confusing, this is about the fact that the privacy settings prevented downloading MPEG on Macs (didn't have the same issue on Windows) but in the nav it feels like there are only instructions for using MPEG on macs?

    1. To create an .editorconfig file within Windows Explorer, you need to create a file named .editorconfig., which Windows Explorer will automatically rename to .editorconfig.

      Ah! That's the trick to create dot file in the windows explorer!

    1. Some schools have used the design

      The fact that some schools use the actual school itself to protect people is wise. I remember last year, theoretically, if someone was to break into the school, it would be too easy for the person to get into the rooms. There were big windows in the door, and there were two doors. That isn't very intelligent. There should be hide outs in a place, but hopefully, the chances of using them would be safe. It is also good for the school to have about 3 stair cases in case of a fire, or maybe more than a few exits.

    1. For something so common and universal, replacement windows can be a real mystery to the average homeowner. This is due in part to the fact that the window industry rivals the new car industry in "locking down" all the information and keeping it within their own closed field.

    1. Satellizer is a simple to use, end-to-end, token-based authentication module for AngularJS with built-in support for Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo, Windows Live authentication providers, as well as Email and Password sign-in.
    1. We saw this happen with Microsoft. It started out with a big vision: How do we get a PC on every desk and in every home? It was profoundly democratizing.

      This is not true. Closed and proprietary was baked into microsofts DNA since Day.

      Though Microsoft today proves Bull's thesis. As they have become a loser, or less of a winner they have started to shake things up. Windows 10 maybe kinda free. Office Apps everywhere.

    1. ¶ 16 Leave a comment on paragraph 16 3 In the woods, I found a great house, bigger than the one with the party, which had been a cramped apartment, a garret compared to this. I could just see the spire of some central tower teetering among the tips of the tallest trees from afar. I couldn’t see much more than that, though, because of the gigantic hedge surrounding it. I walked around the hedge for most of the day until I finally came to a wrought iron gate, allowing my first glimpse into the property. Topiary beasts, glistening green, gazed in glorious self-satisfaction across the manicured lawn. The house itself – just shy of a castle, really – cast a long shadow toward the east. It was built of stone blocks as big as cauldrons, rough hewn, and forty windows, all curtained and black, stared as somberly as sentinels across the circular driveway toward me. Before all of this, however, quite close to me, stood an old woman, old but tall and proud, in a sweeping green dress, white hair groomed like a rose.

    1. It's a bridesmaid's dress. Someone loved it intensely for one day, and then tossed it. Like a Christmas tree. So special. Then, bam, it's on the side of the road. It's getting exciting now, two and one-half. Think of everything we've accomplished, man. Out these windows, we will view the collapse of financial history. One step closer to economic equilibrium. Man, you've got some fucked up friends, I'm tellin' ya. Limber, though... Is that what a real man is supposed to look like? I'll bring us through this. As always. I'll carry you - kicking and screaming - and in the end you'll thank me. You met me at a very strange time in my life. Tinsel still clinging to it. Like a sex crime victim. Underwear inside out. Bound with electrical tape. It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.

    1. These poor applications compounded Windows 8's problems because they meant that there was no real incentive to learn one's way around the new operating system. The three issues above could probably be overlooked if there were a rich family of must-have Metro applications to run. But there weren't. The Windows apps that people want to use were desktop apps anyway.

    1. I found it interesting that many people perceived the mentally ill patients as possessed by the devil. Since religion overpowered thinking in the early nineteenth century it was a widely thought assumption. I also doubt the early scientific movement helped with the sometimes cruel treatments that were more like experiments. However, Grob did a good job of giving different dynamics of Christian perception in his examples or cruelty on the mentally ill. While many viewed them as possessed some Christians like Reverend Louis Dwight, who visited jails and asylums, found those who had been in the same room for eight and nine years with no human contact, windows, and bed. Obviously these asylums’ priorities were not curing the ill but obtaining wealth off of their misfortunes. How could anyone belief that that type of treatment would help someone. Luckily, Reverend Dwight pushed for investigations and was appalled by the horrible treatment. It makes me wonder if these thoughts were separated by different denominations. – Courtney Collier I was most intrigued by the part where Grob discusses Dorothea Dix and her challenges as a woman trying to help the mentally ill at that time. Her life was shaped by her religious beliefs yet she actually saw the mentally ill as human beings who could be helped and cared for with the right treatment. Even though women lacked any power at the time Dix and other women were able to sneak under the radar with social activism. This allowed Dix to give speeches and travel to spread the word of these asylums. Grob not only talked about her statistical achievements but her zeal and passion for the treatment of the mentally ill. –Courtney Collier

      Role of Dix and Dwight?
