I always think the death do us part thing is very hopeful. And people mean it when they say it, I would imagine. I never said it, and here I am, till the bitter end, anyway. How the hell did that happen?
Emma Hart, in reply to
Correct me if I am wrong but the whole "till death us do part" bit is supposed to mean something when you say "I do" otherwise it is a bit pointless, innit?.
But you don't have to say that, any more than I had to promise to obey.
Doesn't that demographic pretty accurately describe our parliamentarians? … and any vote on this issue is a 'conscience vote' … so isn't the result predictable?
Changes slightly when you take into account the effect of knowing someone who's LGBT. In order to say 'no' to this, an MP has to actually get up in front of their colleagues and say, "I don't think you deserve the same rights I have."

Cos you're Luverly.
Anyone up for Drinkies on Thursday evening @ Te Neigbouhood?.

I'll be in Fiji, my darling. But it does seem like forever since I saw your lovely visages. Next Thursday?

Next Thursday will be fine, I look forward to beholding your bronzed self. ;-)

Most of the promises are pointless and symbolic only. If you can't naturally choose to do what's in the vows, then a solemn vow won't make a lick of difference, and enforcement of them is patently stupid - being parted by death is a recipe for murderous thoughts.

How's the Mrs. ?

Just fine, although she daily violates the Obey vow. There's probably some biblical punishment I could exact, involving goats and a bastinado, but I'm a wee bit concerned about the truly epic punishments they mete out for my own transgressions, the main ones being my heresy, idolatry, covetousness, blasphemy and refusal to stop working on the Sabbath.

Wrong. I do support marriage equality, but the civil union debate took the heat out of the issue, as well as securing us relationship equality legislation (Relationships Statutory References Ac5 2005). I just don't think that it should take precedence over transgender equality and adoption reform, which seem to be easier to deal with, in any case. They don't arouse as much opposition, and additional successive LGBT rights successes will demoralise the opposition.
Speaking of which. I see FamFirst is pontificating about SSM again. Does anyone have any information about Curia Research, that suspiciously religiously titled polling company that they keep citing...?

Hey, I grinned and bore it, even learned the Lord's Prayer (backwards!). In fact, I had to put up with more than most - the Church required us to take pre-marital counseling, which actually turned out to be a good idea. Nut out some of the things you may not have thoroughly discussed. The main one that came up was around "raising children in the Catholic faith". I was prepared to go so far as to let them be baptized, but not so far as to make them go to church or a Catholic school. My wife had probably not realized just how strongly I felt about the issue, nor how little she cared about it.
Also, another session, more of a lecture, raised the concept of contraception, and promoted the "rhythm method" and "withdrawal". The sniggers, guffaws and rolling eyes of every single couple there told me how much of a grain of salt everyone took this particularly stupid advice with. I was sorely tempted to ask them about the "blowjob and anal method", but really, the 4 odd hours we were expected to civilly endure this propaganda was quite a small price to pay for the kick-arse venue, and some good things did actually get discussed. Indeed, once the preachy shit was done with, the elderly couple had really sound advice about making marriage work. We've actually used some of the ideas, particularly the one about making sure you set aside regular time just for the two of you to bond and discuss things.
Craig Ranapia, in reply to

You're not getting any argument from me or anyone else on that, because this ain't the line for Barbara Streisand tickets. Does it really have to be a zero-sum game here? (BTW, if I'm ever such a cis-prick towards transgenders you all get a pass for one free 'bitch, please' slap. Open hand, but you don't have to take off your bling.)

Hmmm I'm wondering if I should STFU about Catholic weddings on this thread. I hope my tolerance of their beliefs isn't extrapolated to their considerable intolerance towards the main topic of this thread. On that, they need a big wake up. Apologies to anyone feeling like telling me I'm an insensitive arsehole - I've just realized that maybe I have been.

Your nothing like one. My non catholic sister is about to do the mandatory catholic pre-marital counseling and I was a little concerned about what she'd be subjected to, thanks for the info Ben.
BenWilson, in reply to
Email Twitter
Well my advice to her is to keep in mind that if they, for some reason, decide not to "pass" her, then it's their loss, and there's plenty more venues out there, and secular ceremonies. If her partner lets religion come between them, then it's way better to know that now than later. To that end, it's actually quite a good idea to go through with it (eta the counseling).

Thanks Ben, I hadn't cottoned on to the fact it was a pass/fail situation, she's a car length more diplomatic than me so fingers crossed she'll be fine.
Islander, in reply to
My brother – who is an atheist – went through the Catholic pre-marriage course because – obviously! – his first wife was a Catholic. He had difficulties with "You promise to bring any children up as Catholics" but – since his wife-to-be said "Of course" there wasnt a problem…I *think* that is the only pass/fail bit. My brother was not required to convert (or not use condoms. Nothing was said about the Pill.)
And he found some of the advice illuminating: I dont know how things are run now but he discovered that personal space – very important to him – wasnt at all important to his intended (it was done by a simple game.)
Um, yeah. No kids, marriage ended a long time ago.
And yes, my brother does have children! Wonderful ones!
ETA: o, and Ben? You've been very couth, not at all arseholish-
We had pre-marriage counselling from the very lovely multi-denominational pastor at the University Chapel (we both worked at the Uni at the time, we weren't (quite) that young). I remember stuff all about it, but I suppose since it was 15 years ago, they'd be happy to take some credit for the relationship lasting (of course we had been living in sin for seven years previously).
I do remember our ceremony, which was a beautiful compromise between my vaguely christian mrs and my apathetic agnostic (I don't know & I don't care) self - presided over by the wonderfully named reverend Lindsay Cumberpatch, who sang us a sweet rendition of Carole King's You've Got A Friend.
It was all religious looking and sounding enough to make all the elderly relatives happy, but didn't involve me having to perjure myself on the alleged happiest day of my life.

It was a hasty exit, not a well-formed one.
Besides, the coat was covering the body :-)

Also, another session, more of a lecture, raised the concept of contraception, and promoted the "rhythm method"
Did they teach the "count to 14" version of the rhythm method (which is truly laughable) or actual, proper Natural Family Planning (which is actually remarkably effective when done properly)?
Email Twitter
I don't recall. Was that something to do with timing the ovulations, or was it a suggestion to count slowly to 14 when dangerous moods came upon one? IOW a variant on the "cold shower method", or the one boys learn at puberty "think of something boring".
Natural Family Planning probably is effective when done properly. Abstinence is, too. But no method is really effective when doing it properly becomes difficult, either because natural urges are too strong, or the system or equipment is too tricky. I've personally had quite a high failure rate with condoms.

Which reminds me of Dr Joycelyn Elders, the Surgeon-General under Bill Clinton, when she openly discussed her views on safe sex. The only thing she was guilty of was being a bit too honest, but from a strictly scientific viewpoint she hit the bullseye.

Here's how to skip that annoying Social Reader feature on Facebook if you're using Chrome
You've probably seen the apps used by The Washington Post and Yahoo! on Facebook that require you to install something before you can read an article shared by one of your friends from their sites. Not only is it annoying, it just means that these publications want access to your personal information so it can learn about your reading habits.
I'd rather not let any publication store a list of articles that I've read, and I don't want to install an app that publishes something as I'm reading it. That alone is a privacy invasion, so in seeking a way to bypass this annoying functionality, I found an add-on for Chrome that lets you skip the app installation phase altogether.
While the Facebook Unsocial Reader for Chrome isn't the sexiest app in the world, it gets the job done if you're annoyed by Social Reader apps like I am.
What the app does is copy the title of the article that was shared, skips the app installation screen, and takes you directly to a Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" search using the headline. The first search result is usually dead-on for the article that you wanted to read in the first place.
The app was developed by George Mike and I have to agree with his assessment below:
So there you go, if you want to skip over having to install an app to read an article, this is how to do it when you're using the Chrome browser.

Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections are "aiming for 30 frames per second locked" with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of next year's open-world racer The Crew, creative director Julian Gerighty has told VideoGamer.com, stating that a higher frame rate would be unrealistic given the size of the world.
"We've never been at 60 frames per second," Gerighty told us during a gameplay presentation this morning. "We've always been aiming for 30 frames per second locked. Today, unfortunately certain PCs have been overheating, so we're having frame rate drops. It's a hardware issue, not a software issue.
"60 frames per second is, of course, what we would all like to obtain," he continued, "but it's such a big world, and with all the online features running, it's just not realistic to obtain that. 30 [frames] locked is really, really good and exactly what we've been focussed on."
Despite being co-developed by Driver: San Francisco studio Ubisoft Reflections, development on The Crew is being led by French studio Ivory Tower, comprised of ex-Eden Games developers, which has created a proprietary engine for the next-gen racer.
"In fact, no," Gerighty replied, when asked whether The Crew was running on a modified version of Driver: San Francisco's engine. "It has the DNA of both Test Drive Unlimited, which was the world of Hawaii [and] seamless online, because it was conceived by Ivory Tower in France who are ex-Eden Games [developers]. But... this is a multi-studio project, so when Ubisoft asked Ivory Tower who [they wanted to] work with within Ubisoft, there is no better team - maybe in the world - for an action driving game, than working with Ubisoft Reflections. So Ubisoft Reflections are working hand-in-hand with Ivory Tower.
"The tech behind it is proprietary to Ivory Tower. This is something that is completely brilliant in terms of tools that allows us to build a very varied, very spectacular, beautiful world very easily... So it's really more, in terms of technical side of things, Ivory Tower."
The Crew's open world is set across a map of North America, with Ivory Tower aiming to include "around 15" cities. But don't expect a 1:1 recreation of the US, Gerighty warns.
"It's obviously not 1:1. If you've ever had a road trip even from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, it's four or five hours away. We're still in the business of entertainment, so what we've done is we've done a condensed version of everything. Running from San Francisco to New York will last about an hour."
Yesterday, Dead Rising 3 developer Capcom Vancouver told VideoGamer.com that it was "targeting 30 frames a second" and working with Microsoft to help improve the game's performance.
PS4 racer DriveClub, meanwhile, still runs at 30FPS despite development team Evolution targeting a 60FPS frame rate in time for launch.
The Crew launches on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC early next year.

Doesn't seem like it's available yet. I'm blaming the weather.
Word is that the Feb. releases are running behind schedule. We're *trying* to get it set up at CSO that we'll be able to get the new minis and get them painted up around (or better, before) their release... I'm on deck to do the Night Wolf when it gets here, and have the same hope/fear combination regarding it.
I honestly didn't know anything about this mech until I saw this post and so I went to Sarna and looked it up. I tend to agree. This is a mech that has a LOT of detail and a LOT of surface that needs to be detailed. I'm not quite sure how this would come out of a mold!
do you ever get the chance to sculpt anymore? there are several that i think would best be handled by you, if i may be so bold
Perhaps then you would be able to give us a quick preview of the miniature before painting it?
If things line up for a project, then yes.I'm loathe to do that because it's exactly what we're trying to get away from; unfinished minis as the only image giving a poor first impression of a new piece. When it does arrive, it will get priority for painting, and that's about all I'm willing to commit to. If I remember at the time, I'll try to snap some pics of the parts and assembled mini, to post at the same time as the painted pics... If I forget, well, you can expect an honest assessment of the mini afterward, possibly tempered for public consumption. For the scheme, I've got a couple thoughts, which may go down to the point of pulling out paints before the final decision is made, and they aren't up for debate or vote either.
I'm loathe to do that because it's exactly what we're trying to get away from; unfinished minis as the only image giving a poor first impression of a new piece.
Guess the local store owner is a bit different, then... He prefers the pictures to be unpainted, so he doesn't have disappointed customers asking why they didn't come pre-painted...
So, I was down visiting the guys down at IWM, and I got to see the Night Wolf. I am very pleased with how it looks and look forward to seeing what Psycho can do with it.

ConnecticutState Snapshot for Asian
In this comparison, the NHQDR measures for Connecticut for the most recent data year and the baseline year are compared to the average of all States.
Historically, the State Snapshots have included State-specific estimates for selected AHRQ Quality Indicators (QIs) based on Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) data. The 2018 QDR does not include State-specific QI estimates based on 2016 HCUP data because the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification/Procedure Coding System version of the QI software used did not include risk adjustment. State-specific QIs will be reported in future QDRs when the estimates can be risk adjusted.

Tigers top Applachian State in 1st game since Dixon departure
Laurence Bowers matches career high
Laurence Bowers matched his career high with 23 points despite taking just one shot in the second half, leading No. 16 Missouri to an easy 72-56 victory over Appalachian State in its first game since embattled guard Michael Dixon announced he would transfer on Saturday.
Earnest Ross added 13 point and eight rebounds off the bench for the Tigers (6-1), which has won 69 in a row at home against non-conference opponents dating to 2005. Two more subs scored in double figures with Keion Bell getting 12 points and Tony Criswell 10.
Jay Canty had a career high 29 points for Appalachian State (1-6), which has lost six in a row since opening with a victory over NAIA Montreat.
Canty was 11 for 19 and added six rebounds, but the rest of the Mountaineers were just 10 for 40 while shooting 35.6 percent overall.
It's the Mountaineers' longest losing streak since dropping eight in a row in 2004.
Dixon, the Big 12's top sixth man last season, elected to leave the school Thursday after two sexual assault claims against him became public this week. Dixon had been expected to take a major role his senior season but never played.
Athletic director Mike Alden declined to comment on the situation.
Missouri's remaining options at guard include freshman Negus Webster-Chan, Ross and Oregon transfer Jabari Brown, who'll be eligible at the semester break. Webster-Chan made his second straight start at guard ahead of Ross on Saturday.
Bowers outscored Appalachian State by himself most of the first half, settling for a 21-all draw when the Mountaineers scored six points in the final 1:04 to make it 39-21. He was a perfect 3 for 3 from 3-point range and made all but 10 attempts overall.
He has been a second-half player in the early season, averaging 11.5 points after the break and 14.2 points overall entering the Appalachian State game.

Milwaukee's 3rd Bike CorralPosted on
The owners of Cafe Hollander on Downer Avenue installed Milwaukee's third bike corral today. The first was installed by Alterra Coffee on Propect Ave. The second was installed by the Nomad World Pub on Warren and Brady Streets. So far none of these have taken away any legal parking spaces for cars, but cars used to stop illegally to run in and pick up coffee in the spot where Alterra put in their bike corral.
All these racks have been paid for by the owners of the adjoining cafes. It is great that business owners see the value that bicycle parking adds to their bottom line. It is also great that they see bicycles as a more efficient way to get more customers given that automotive parking is so inefficient.
In Minneapolis, Nice Ride Minnesota bikesharing stations are also installed on the street. This makes finding open spaces a lot easier. Typically it is difficult to find empty right of way in the walk area between the curb and the building fronts. Putting the bike parking in the street where the cars park also leaves more open right of way for sidewalk cafes.
According to the Ithmus, Madison has plans for two bike corrals to be installed by the end of the month. The Madison bike corrals will be installed in a parking stall in front of the Tipsy Cow on King Street, and another will go in on Harrison Street at Trader Joe's. Each corral will have a capacity of 10 to 12 seasonal bicycle parking spaces. As soon as those go in, I will have a report and photos here on Over the Bars in Wisconsin.
Any bike corrals planned for other areas of the state that I don't know about? LaCrosse? Eau Claire? Wausau? Green Bay? Let me know via comments below if there are.

Dear Carolyn:
It seems we are living in an era of, "We must all be responsible for our own emotional/verbal reactions to things at all times, regardless of what people say or do to us," and I do agree with that, for the most part. However, I also think that mentality has its limits.
I am in a serious relationship, the problems of which have been blamed almost exclusively on my "anger issues." After months of accepting this as fact and working on myself (going to therapy, etc.), I now feel my angry responses never would have occurred in the first place if my partner had even been the least bit friendly, loving, kind or interested in me. I know I've been verbally explosive at times, but why should I blame myself for an understandable, human reaction to someone talking to me like a dog when all I said was, "Pass the syrup"?
At what point should we start calling others on their behavior and stop telling ourselves to "be responsible" for every reaction we may have, even when that reaction is perfectly justified?
Angry Girl
Why did you stay with someone who wasn't "the least bit friendly, loving, kind or interested" in you, and talked to you "like a dog"?
This isn't an exercise in snarkery or victim-blaming. It's an opener to proving the unlimited value in being responsible for our own emotions.
You describe a situation in which you were plainly mistreated, and you responded with understandable anger. That, to me, is a pretty precise picture of what happens when people do what you suggest, and call others on their bad behavior.
Were your partner a better person, s/he might have responded to your anger by feeling contrite and working to be kinder. But as is common with people who mistreat others, your partner responded by blaming you and apparently gaslighting you off to therapy.
That outcome does not speak well of the method that got you there.
By comparison, look at what happens when you take responsibility for your own feelings. By that I mean, when you respond to unwelcome feelings — anger, yes, and also frustration, sadness, resentment, boredom, helplessness, deprivation, the whole Dagwood sandwich of suffering — not by pinning them on Partner, but by examining your own choices.
In this case, the big one is your choice to stay with someone who doesn't treat you well. What if, instead of expressing your anger to no avail, to the unhealthy point of getting "verbally explosive," you took a moment to recognize the provocation continued no matter how right you were or how angry you got? And what if you calmed yourself, then spelled out for Partner that when s/he did X, you felt Y, and that kindness was important to you — with the full, unspoken intention of giving Partner one clear chance to turn things around, and of breaking up if that failed?
Remaining single unless you're treated well solves the anger, too.
Maybe it would help to think of it this way: Enrage me once, shame on you; enrage me often, shame on me. We are always responsible for our reactions, which includes recognizing that getting angry and expecting others to make things right aren't the only choices. There's also, always, the door.

The Death of Football?Comments
The news that you can scan for CTE in living football players is a pretty big deal. Ta-Nehisi Coates thinks it will lead to the end of football. I am skeptical. I think it might lead to the end of upper class white kids playing football. But I do not think one can overestimate how ingrained football is in American culture. I am sure that plenty of players would continue playing, even if they knew they had brain damage. And while one can argue that the government can step in and end such a violent game, that's not going to happen. It's possible that it could lead to shorter professional careers, some people dropping out of the game before they suffer damage, etc., but there will be hundreds of people to step in their place. The overall quality of the game could theoretically drop, but I doubt it. Coates uses the decline of boxing as an example that this can happen. But while it's remarkable how quickly boxing fell off the sporting map, it's replacement by ultimate fighting certainly suggests neither the appetite for bloodsports nor the willingness of poor people to engage in them has waned at all. The decline of boxing is complicated and more related to factors ranging from a decline in compelling American heavyweights to corruption and mismanagement than an existential crisis that led to its end.

'The Walking Dead' 2014 Spoilers: When Will Abraham, Rosita and Eugene Arrive?
'The Walking Dead' season 4 will finally premiere the first of its back eight episodes this coming Sunday, February 9, picking up with the survivors after the events of last year's finale, "Too Far Gone," but our burning questions for the remainder of the season have only grown? For instance, when might we see new comic characters like Abraham, Rosita and Eugene finally appear, having been announced months ago?
Fans of the Robert Kirkman comics from which AMC's monster drama derives have no doubt been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the comic trio, announced back in October to be played by 'Southland' vet Michael Cudlitz, 'Twilight' star Christian Serratos, and Josh McDermitt, respectively. At the time, it was considered plausible that the trio might crop up in or before the midseason finale, as with Tyreese (Chad Coleman) the season before and Michonne at the end of season 2.
Of course, while it remains to be seen which of the splintered character factions will encounter the trio, and what circumstances might bring them together in the back half of season 4, series creator Robert Kirkman tells Entertainment Weekly that it won't be altogether long before we see a largely faithful rendition of the characters:
These characters are going to be extremely similar to who they were in the comics and I'm really excited about that. The visuals and costuming for them has been absolutely amazing. These people really do look like they were torn out of the comic page, it's pretty startling. But I will say people excited for the introduction of these characters won't have to wait very long.
I don't want to reveal exactly when they'll be introduced, but it won't be too terribly late in the season so get your hopes up. They really are going to add a very interesting and very compelling dynamic to the show. I think they're going to bring in elements to the show that we've never really explored before and I think that's exciting and something that's going to change the game to a certain extent.
I'm always very excited at how much this show evolves over time and changes season to season and these three characters are agent that very much changes the story and very much changes the direction of the show to a certain extent.
Fans of the AMC drama are warned of comic spoilers from here on out, though readers will remember that the trio encounter Rick's group while on their own mission to Washington, D.C., wherein scientist Eugene claims to belong to a think tank that knows how to stop the zombie apocalypse. We're not entirely certain if AMC would follow through on such an ambitious plot line or on any of the subsequent twists from the book, though it certainly seems as if Kirkman has strong plans for the back half of season 4.
We've got plenty of photos, trailers and more to accompany our impending coverage of 'The Walking Dead''s 2014 return this Sunday, but in the meantime, what say you? Are you excited for three new characters to impact the series? Watch the latest preview below, and give us your predictions for "After" in the comments!

HERSHEY, Pa. -- Members of the Penn State Board of Trustees heard today (March 15) about Penn State Hershey's investment in personalized medicine research, a rapidly evolving approach to medicine that allows doctors to tailor treatments to each individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Dr. Daniel Notterman, vice dean for research and graduate studies, gave trustees an overview of personalized medicine, which uses advanced computational methods to analyze and study genetic and biologic information, along with data in the electronic health record. This information can help healthcare professionals more accurately predict and diagnose disease. In the past, doctors based treatments on research that studied broad groups of people, finding what is most likely to help a majority of patients. While this approach has been successful, it is not always efficient since each person is unique --meaning treatments that work well for one person may not work well for another.
"In treating all people with a certain lung cancer without having a genetic test, for example, 10 percent of people might respond," Notterman said. "In treating people who have a genetic test and are found to have a tumor mutation, 85 percent of people treated for that mutation might respond. That speaks to the real life-saving potential of the work we're doing now."
Penn State Hershey launched the Institute for Personalized Medicine in early 2012 following the recruitment of James Broach from Princeton University as its inaugural director and chair of the College of Medicine's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
In fall 2012, the institute began inviting patients of Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and its outpatient practice sites to participate in the institute's bio-repository. A bio-repository is a collection of blood, saliva and tissue samples from willing participants, paired with de-identified data from their electronic health records, which allows scientists to look for genetic clues to disease. Patients are asked to give their consent and a sample during the course of a regularly scheduled appointment or procedure. Since recruitment began, Broach told the trustees today, about 90 percent of patients asked to participate have consented to do so.
The institute is actively recruiting participants in three specialty clinics with plans to extend the opportunity to patients of seven more soon, Broach said.
In January, Penn State Hershey celebrated the opening of dedicated space for the institute on the second floor of the College of Medicine, where scientists will process, analyze and securely store samples collected from participants of the bio-repository project.
The institute's goal is to develop an understanding of how biological and genetic information, combined with the environment, affect each person's unique risk to develop cancer, heart failure, stroke, dementia, autism and other diseases.
Lisa Schneper, a research associate in Notterman's lab, told trustees about one project under way using the personalized medicine approach to better understand the genetics of autism.
Research has found increasing evidence for a genetic component to autism. Working with colleagues Webb Miller and Stephan Schuster at University Park, the Notterman research team is studying samples from families with twins or other multiples where at least one child has autism and another does not.
"We are looking at the differences between them at a genetic level," Schneper said. "We hope what we find will help us improve our understanding of the genetics of autism, and that this understanding will lead to better diagnostics so that we can design better, earlier interventions."
The team recently began collaborating with Dr. Michael Murray, director of the Penn State Hershey Autism Clinic, to recruit additional families for the study.
More than 300 members of the community learned about personalized medicine and the bio-repository project, as well as some potential clinical applications of the approach, at the first of two public meetings held on March 5 as part of this year's Mini-Medical School program. The second opportunity for the public to learn about this new approach is March 19 at 7 p.m. at the Penn State Hershey Medical Group—Camp Hill practice site.

True but it's also a "world tour".... Ya never know ;)
We can dream. Maybe they'll have Ju=Ju hit the major music cities in the US and study like T&C.... LOL. Not.

That's enough time to prepare.
And to add to my previous musings about the location... H!P summer con ends in early September so Mexico might be one of the first concerts. Of course they could still go in between the dates of the summer concerts, especially since none of the girls is in school anymore, but let's hope they won't because weekdays suck as concert days.
Just checked German conventions for the time after that, too. So far the only one that might look like a good one is the Connichi, September 22 - 24 in Kassel. Which would suck because Saturday is already sold out lol. Other than that there's some other cons but none of them looks big enough or focusses on something different (like the German Comic Con in Berlin or Frankfurt Bookfair). So still everything fine for a non-convention concert.

If they come to the PlayStation Theater in New York (where MM played, when it was called the Best Buy Theater), I hope they don't pull a Momoiro Clover and close off the seating section, making me sit in the Disabled Section on the side of the stage, the only place I could find a seat. (I'm not standing for a two-hour concert, even if it IS Juice=Juice.)
Posted 14 April 2017 - 12:39 AM
Hmm, if they come to Chicago, I may consider going because I haven't stopped fantasizing about visiting Chicago again. Honestly, Juice=Juice went from one of my most anticipated groups at debut to dead bottom of my list along with the Factories, so I'm not excited for their tour... But they at least seem somewhat solid live performers, since they were all Kenshuusei, so maybe they'll put on a worthwhile show. I still think I'd prioritize visiting Chicago over going just for them though, lol.

So the European tour dates were also announced for September.
And for anyone who doesn't peruse H!O, there was a theory thrown out that the US date could be J-POP SUMMIT in San Francisco Sept 9th-10th, which would make the trip even more worthwhile if you listen to a lot of J-Pop. Last year, they had acts like Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and GARNiDELiA.

Crossing my fingers and praying to any god that will listen that America's date is before the 12th.
I go to Europe on the 12th for my family trip. T_T I gave up C-ute for this cruise, giving up Juice too, I'll be beside myself.

Posted 18 April 2017 - 08:36 PM
I had mentioned this in a fb comment about the possible US date--
Doesn't that seem too soon? If they're performing in Mexico on the 8th, then they fly that same night and are up the next morning to possibly perform/do Q&A? It just seems very rushed. I mean, J=J did do over 200 concerts last year so maybe it's not that bad for them but that feels very rushed.
Posted 03 May 2017 - 11:02 AM
Seems Thailand's venue and date is June 3rd at Viral Festival Asia in Bangkok... Not officially on their website yet, but Ju=Ju was listed on a poster w/ their artists performing. AKB48 and Flower will also being going.
Posted 19 May 2017 - 10:08 AM
J-Pop Summit announced their first guest (BAND-MAID, btw) so hopefully IF J=J is performing there, we'll know sooner rather than later so that anyone who plans to attend (like myself) will have more time to prepare.

Damn. Paris is really popular I guess that's also where the Japanese wota would go.
I thought about going to Paris but the concert taking place just the day before the Dortmund one made me reconsider. Well, now I don't have to think about it anymore...

We Got the green light to go to the Dortmund concert.
Ordered the vip tickets.
Now there is enough time to learn the girls names and listen to the songs.
Anyone in for a pre or afterparty I see there is a beergarten/bar ''Das Kraftstoff'' 200 meters from the concert Hall.
There is also a bar inside the FZW.

Splunk4Good is turning data from Regulations.gov into a new real-time analytic interface to give the public and government officials a better understanding of who is commenting on rule proposals.
A real-time analytic dashboard is being designed that could change the way federal staffers and the general public view and evaluate feedback on specific government proposals.
The new interface will use data from Regulations.gov to provide users with deeper insight into the types of public commentary made on proposed rules and which commenters may be affiliated with certain lobbying groups. The project was conceived by volunteers from Splunk, an operational intelligence provider.
Regulations.gov is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's public docket and online comment system. It gives federal agencies the ability to post publicly available documents associated with regulatory affairs and other issues. Docket materials can include reports, studies, rule proposals, hearing transcripts and public comments.
The tool doesn't have a name yet, but it's powered by Regulations.gov's open application programming interface. Once the project is live, it will reside on the website of Splunk4Good, Splunk's charity arm. The group has a number of other public policy projects on the site, including a Federal Election Commission data explorer and a hashcloud developed during the 2012 presidential election that displayed real-time data about President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
Christy Wilson, vice president of product operations for Splunk, explained that the idea to work on Regulations.gov stemmed from meetings with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy earlier this year. She said while Regulations.gov gives the public the ability to comment online, federal officials didn't have an ability to splice through that feedback easily. The feds also weren't able to communicate in an efficient manner back to the public about the value of the feedback.
The new dashboard will help address some of those issues. Wilson said a beta version of the tool is already working on a private server, but the team is still discussing various features that could be added before it launches.
Some of those features may include the ability to see which agency is getting the most comments on its documents and derive public sentiment about that particular agency from the comments. In addition, it could also be capable of differentiating the quality of the comments so that decision-makers can better focus on impactful ideas.
Another element looked at was the sway of "influencers." For example, if 10 percent of the feedback to a certain item has the exact same language, the dashboard would note that, as it could indicate that all those comments came from a particular organization. Although that may not necessarily raise or lower the commentary's value, the agencies and public could see where the comments are coming from.
"All comments matter, but if, for example, the comment was 'I hate fracking,' that's not as actionable as 'In lieu of fracking, I would like to see this,'" Wilson said. "They are interested in all comments, but want an easier way to see comments that are a little more actionable and informative."
Government Technology contacted the EPA for comment on the project, but the agency declined to make a representative available for an interview. Wilson did not provide a firm date for the tool's launch, but indicated that it would be released as a public data project after a quality assurance testing period.

Thursday marked the deadline for advisors with assets of between $25 million and $100 million under management to switch from federal to state jurisdiction. While overall things have gone smoothly, there are, as might be expected, some stragglers.
Not among state regulators, however. Bob Webster, spokesman for the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), said in an interview that "states have been working on this for two years now, preparing—actually, even prior to Dodd-Frank's passage," which would make it a more-than-two-year effort.
States have been proactive, Webster said, with "a pretty aggressive outreach to to the investment advisor community, hosting workshops and seminars to help switching advisors become familiar with" all the requirements and to educate them on how to go through the process. They've also worked hard, he added, to help regulators get to know the RIAs coming over from federal registration. Such efforts were previously reported by AdvisorOne.
"The 'switch' is the single largest regulatory event involving a coordinated effort between states and the SEC. It's been a very cooperative effort, and by and large, things have gone smoothly," Webster said. "From what we're hearing from our members, we know the states are working as hard as they can to get registrations reviewed and deficiencies resolved."
NASAA has been recommending to advisors that they need to be prompt when responding to state deficiency notices to help speed up the registration process. It has also said "all along" not to file Form ADV-W until advisors have registered with states so as not to be put in the position of not being registered somewhere.
Although the Securities and Exchange Commission has said it will review its population of advisors once the deadline has passed, and that it will "share that information with us," Webster said that it was unlikely that errant advisors would be deregistered "the next day. That said," he added, "advisors shouldn't think they have extra time to file; they need to move expeditiously on this."
The SEC plans to contact firms operating without state registration to see whether they have a good reason for failing to complete the process. "If they have a valid reason," said Webster, "the matter ends there. If not, the SEC would begin the de-registration process."
One reason could be that a firm was trying to boost its AUM to the $100 million level to remain registered with the SEC. Also, some firms have merged with others, and still others have gone out of business. "We're expecting about 2,500 to come over from federal to state registration," Webster said. "The initial estimate was about 4,000 and then the SEC cut it to 3,200; it's been a bit of a moving target as the investment advisor population shifts—either through mergers or through seeking additional assets."

Recently, I wrote about Code for America, which aims to solve the data and application side of your local government. The K-12 education answer to Code for America is called InBloom (to which my company provides professional services). InBloom started as the Shared Learning Collaborative, with the idea of making student data more easily accessible to educators and creating a marketplace of applications that use the data. The collaborative received support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Carnegie Corporation of New York.
There is amazing software available these days, probably nowhere more cutting-edge than in the realm of entertainment. So why don't we have amazing educational software available throughout our school districts? There have been some good advances, such as Khan Academy. But why isn't there better software that ties together curriculum, teachers, students, grades, and learning tools?

The problem of data silos
Companies typically follow the money, which requires a sufficiently large market. In a sense the public school system in the United States does form a large market, but in reality it is thousands of markets. With no data standards, high integration costs, and proprietary software that doesn't interoperate, school districts have become data silos. This all means that school systems require highly customized applications.
"I've seen the risk time and time again where the interoperability issues obstruct [progress]," says Sharren Bates, chief product officer at InBloom. She wants a "K-12 experience where each student gets exactly the support they need to succeed."
When I first began to understand what InBloom could do to remedy the situation, I immediately thought of the novel "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card -- and no, I'm not referring to learning how to fight aliens. Although it's a small part of the story, I found a compelling aspect of "Ender's Game" to be the computer system that provides individualized training at the Battle School. I don't know how this will be portrayed in the upcoming movie, but in the book it was highly intriguing.
How InBloom addresses the data-silo problem
InBloom lets the school districts maintain control of their data while giving teachers, software developers, and parents the tools to use that data.
Instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, InBloom recognizes the importance of the states and school districts maintaining control over their own data. Says Bates, "School districts alone have the responsibility to discover their needs. [These are] local decisions: what to store, why to store, what apps to use, what to prioritize, etc. Think about this from district, parent, or teacher perspectives: How are the students doing and how can we help them succeed, based on the local priority, based around early literacy or attendance or math or mobility? What data you store and why comes back to why they want to answer that question."
InBloom didn't create yet another education software package, but instead took a more open source approach using competitions to address the data problem itself. The core technology is the InBloom Data Store, which is designed to store in a common format any educational data that a district chooses to use, including educational organizations, courses, students, assessments, enrollments, graduation, calendars, staff, attendance, and learning objectives. And it's all accessible by way of a RESTful CRUD (create, read, update, delete) API.
School districts retain control and authority over all the information in their systems, and InBloom is confident that its technology meets core regulatory requirements. For an application to have access to a school district's data, that district has to whitelist that application, and only users authorized by the district can use the application. OAuth2 is implemented to ensure secure logins, and users have access to data based on their rights as defined by the owner of the data, which is typically the district.

At first glance, this looks like just another star field. But almost every source of light in this image is actually one of the 190 galaxies making up the massive Perseus Cluster, one of the nearest such clusters to Earth.
While even the size of the solar system, let alone the Milky Way, is far beyond human comprehension, it's when you get into galactic clusters that we're really talking about unimaginably cosmic scales. And, as NASA explains, even this behemoth is just part of a still larger structure:
Each of these fuzzy blobs is a galaxy, together making up the Perseus Cluster, one of the closest clusters of galaxies. The cluster is seen through a foreground of faint stars in our own Milky Way Galaxy. Near the cluster center, roughly 250 million light-years away, is the cluster's dominant galaxy NGC 1275, seen above as a large galaxy on the image left. A prodigious source of x-rays and radio emission, NGC 1275 accretes matter as gas and galaxies fall into it. The Perseus Cluster of Galaxies, also cataloged as Abell 426, is part of the Pisces-Perseus supercluster spanning over 15 degrees and containing over 1,000 galaxies.

Resignation of mayor sought over dog poop incident
SAN MARINO, Calif. (AP) — The mayor of a wealthy California town who was caught on camera tossing dog poop onto the walkway of a political opponent is being asked to resign by residents who say he smeared their image.
During a City Council meeting on Wednesday, San Marino residents blasted Mayor Dennis Kneier (kuh-NEER') and called for him to step down, even though he has apologized.
Police cited him for littering, which can carry a fine of up to $1,000.
The mayor of the tidy Los Angeles suburb says he found a bag of dog waste on a parkway Saturday and tossed it onto the front walkway of a home.
The homeowner, Philip Lao, is a political opponent. He recognized the mayor on surveillance video and called police.

Money not set aside for retiree health
Gov. Jerry Brown last week said he had closed a state budget gap for the first time in years and was making huge strides toward knocking down the "wall of debt" that keeps California from moving forward.
But in laying out his timeline for repaying some $23.5 billion, Brown did not factor in a looming liability — tens of billions more owed for retirement health care benefits promised to state workers.
Sacramento leaders have failed to set aside money to cover $62 billion in projected costs for retiree health care. Some veteran state workers have been promised the full state-funded contribution toward their health plans for the rest of their lives. That typically covers most, if not all, of their premiums. Many newer employees must pay a share of their costs.
"Even that $62 billion is just a percentage of what the total liability is," said Assemblyman Brian Jones, R-Santee. "Until we get an answer on what the total liability is, we can't begin to address the problem."
The coming tab for retired workers tops $181 billion over the next three decades: $62.1 billion for retiree health, $64.5 billion for teacher pensions, $38.5 billion for employee pensions, $12.8 billion for University of California employee pensions and $3.3 billion for judges' pensions, according to the governor's office. Government reports and academic studies have pegged the state's unfunded liabilities as being much higher.
Finance officials said it was prudent to exclude those costs from the state's so-called "wall of debt" because they amount to long-term obligations similar to a home mortgage.
"It's the same reason you pay off your mortgage over 30 years instead of one month," said H.D. Palmer, a spokesman for Brown's Department of Finance.
On the longer-term obligations, the state has not begun to save toward obligations for future retirees as some cities such as San Diego have begun to do.
Last year, the governor proposed to chip away at the health care benefit by limiting state worker eligibility, but he was rebuffed by Democratic lawmakers.
In unveiling his proposed $97.7 billion budget last week, the governor focused on shorter term aspects of the "wall of debt," reducing it from nearly $28 billion to $4.3 billion by the end of 2016-17.
The remainder is to include unpaid costs to local governments, schools and colleges for state mandates as well as deferred payments to health care providers.
Brown said he would endeavor to avoid the borrow and spend, boom and bust cycles that have long plagued the state.
"Paying down debt is a form of reserve because if you don't have these debts, then when things go bad, you can borrow some of that money back in the same way," Brown said. "So, by paying down the debt, we've put ourselves in a stronger position when things go bad, as they inevitably do."
Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway said the state is not out of the woods even in addressing the short-debt it aims to eliminate.
"The governor's budget doesn't fully address the 'wall of debt' that has accumulated due to the state borrowing its way out of past deficits," said Conway, of Tulare, adding that she hopes fellow lawmakers doesn't repeat past mistakes of using short-term revenue to cover ongoing programs.
"Instead, we should use the voter-approved revenues from Prop. 30 as Californians were promised — to protect our classrooms and to pay down debt."
Before 1985, state employees needed only to be on the payroll for five years and vested in the state retirement system to qualify for the full health care plan for life. That was later bumped up to 10 years. Then, those hired after Jan. 1, 1989, received half of their contribution by the state to the health plan after 10 years and the full contribution after 20 years.
"As health costs started to go up, it became more difficult for employees to be vested in the health retirement," said Bruce Blanning, executive director of the Professional Engineers in California Government, which represents 13,000 state-employed engineers and related professionals.
"Over the years, the plan has been downgraded in its coverage: The co-payments are higher," he added. "It's not the same as it used to be. Employees over time have absorbed more of the costs."
The state's reluctance to tackle down-the-road expenses contrasts with steps taken at the local level to rein in analogous costs.
In San Diego, city leaders and labor unions two years ago brokered an agreement estimated to shave $330 million from a $1.1 billion shortage in money needed to pay lifetime health care for retired city workers. The cash flow savings to taxpayers is expected to exceed $714 million over 25 years, officials said.
Then-Mayor Jerry Sanders characterized the agreement as the "largest cost-saving measure ever implemented by the city" for taxpayers. The plan provided that for the first time city employees would contribute to their retiree health care costs, easing the financial risk for taxpayers.
"This settlement isn't just a big step," Sanders said at the time. "It's a quantum leap."
Debt for retiree health care had long been a fiscal albatross for the city following then-Mayor Pete Wilson's promise of lifetime health benefits to all city workers in exchange for employees allowing the city to opt out of Social Security. But the city never put aside money for the long-term costs and a deficit grew over the next three-plus decades.
Frank De Clercq, head of the firefighters union, noted employees could have litigated the issue. But, he said, that would have ended up costing taxpayers via potential cuts to vital city services.
"It had been underfunded for so many years because the politicians chose to spend the money elsewhere for doing other pet projects," he said.
Under the deal, veteran workers remained eligible for a benefit of $8,880 a year upon retirement, but have to pay $1,200 annually while employed to keep it. The deals are structured differently for newer hires.

It is therefore imperative that you be as prepared as possible.

So, have you lugged all those boxes out of the attic yet? Isn't it funny how excited we are for a new season and as it comes to a close, we are itching to get all those decorations down and move on to the next.
When we got back from our Thanksgiving trip, the weather was in the 80's, so what better time to bust out some Christmas carols and start trimming the tree!? Over the weekend I shared pictures on Instagram and Facebook of the Christmas decorating split with our time around the pool. Quite the anomaly!
When it comes to decorations, I'm a simple gal. I don't like to go crazy overboard, just a little touch of something festive is good for me. So, for our table this year, I decided to mix some moss with a mini-red berries and pop in a little votive.
I think it turned out really pretty! I was thinking about tying some twine around the glass…what do you think? Should I or leave it as is?

Joyce E. Chambers was heading home from church last night, a drive she makes often, and was gliding along Interstate 290 in her sport utility vehicle when she suddenly had to hit the brakes.
"I saw this guy standing on the side of the road, and he started running across," the 71-year-old Worcester woman said today. "I slammed on my brakes, and he made it around me."
Mrs. Chambers swerved, putting her Toyota Rav4 into the grass near the left eastbound lane she had been driving in between the Belmont Street (Route 9) exit and the I-290/I-190 split.
The man, who has not yet been identified by state police, made it past Mrs. Chambers' SUV by a matter of feet, according to her estimate.
"The driver on the side of me — she had no chance of avoiding him," Mrs. Chambers said. "He ran right in front of the driver."
There was a loud thump, and the noise of the screeching brakes. Mrs. Chambers saw items fly into the air. She thought the articles probably came from a plastic bag the man was carrying.
Troopers at the Holden barracks began receiving several calls about a man walking up the Lincoln Street on-ramp toward the interstate minutes before the accident, which occurred shortly after 8 p.m.
"As troopers were responding to the area to look for the man, a motorist called to report that she had struck the pedestrian," state police said in a news release. The man had died on scene.
The driver of the 2011 Toyota Highlander was driving east on I-290 when she hit the pedestrian, state police said. The driver, a 51-year-old Worcester woman, pulled over into the breakdown lane and called police. She was not injured. State police did not identify her. As of this afternoon no charges have been filed against the woman.
"Evidence suggests the pedestrian had first entered the highway in the westbound lane and then crossed onto the eastbound side," state police said. "After he was struck, he came to rest in the right travel lane."
Mrs. Chambers said the victim had climbed over the highway divider and just started running.
This morning, she drove back by the scene of the accident and continued to wonder why the man was running across the heavily traveled interstate.
"I couldn't believe a man was in the middle of the road," she said. "He never looked for traffic. He just started running across. Thank goodness I missed him."
Mrs. Chambers believes that if the man had been walking, she would have been the one to hit him.
Four travel lanes were closed after the crash.

Yesterday, I wrote a piece about the process by which BioWare is choosing an official female Commander Shepard for Mass Effect. In this piece, I went on a flight of fancy about an imagined commercial that would feature a constantly shifting montage of various Shepards, highlighting the customizability that makes Mass Effect so cool.
As it turns out, YouTube user Sagequeen is way ahead of me, and has made this totally sweet fan video. And okay, okay, I'm not sure how effectively it would sell Mass Effect to an audience that didn't already know the game, but it is pretty damn cool.
Thanks to Twitter user @PawOfTheSouth for the heads-up.
