This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the vehicle is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on monthly payments.

Ten Second Review
This fifth generation Audi A4 now features a sharper look and continues to claim to be class-leading in nearly all the areas that really matter to business buyers in the compact executive segment. That means efficiency, cabin quality, practicality and technology. As a result, it'll be hard to ignore if you're looking for a car of this kind.
Audi knows a thing or two about mid-sized family cars with a prestigious feel, compact executive contenders like this A4. This model, along with BMW's 3 Series, has driven huge growth in that compact executive segment, vanquishing Mercedes' C-Class in the process. Today though, things are different. The C-Class has been rejuvenated into a much stronger proposition, the 3 Series range has been usefully improved and a very accomplished class rival has arrived in the form of Jaguar's XE. This MK5 model A4 is Audi's response. What we have here is a car that's lighter, sleeker and cleverer than it's ever been. As a result, this Audi is inevitably more efficient too, with a tax-beating sub-100g/km of CO2 figure now promised on the most frugal diesel models. Inside, we're promised the classiest cabin in the segment - and one of the most technologically advanced. Plus, as usual, there's the option of quattro 4WD and either saloon or Avant estate bodystyles.
Driving Experience
The A4 has always struck an appealing balance between handling and comfort and with this MK5 model, the Ingolstadt engineers sought to improve its credentials still further by developing a new five-link suspension system. Optional adjustable shock absorbers with 'sports' and 'comfort' modes will enable owners to get the most from this and a dynamic steering system is another extra cost feature that'll reward those you like their driving. Both features can be controlled through the standard Audi drive select driving-dynamics system, which alters throttle response and auto gearshift timings in its most basic form. Talking of auto gearshifts, the old CVT automatic gearbox has gone, replaced by a seven speed dual clutch 'S tronic' unit that claims to be able to improve both performance and fuel consumption. As before, the A4 differs from its BMW 3 Series rival in its use of front wheel drive for most models. Also as before though, quattro 4WD is optional - and standard on the top V6 variants. The most powerful of these models even has the option of a sports differential for the rear axle to maximise traction. Refreshingly in a segment dominated by cars fueling themselves from the black pump, TFSI petrol models are still very much part of the mainstream A4 range, a 150PS 1.4-litre unit offered alongside a pokey 2.0-litre powerplant offering either 190PS or 252PS. There's also a 354PS 3.0-litre TFSI sporting S4 model near the top of the range. And a 450PS 2.9-litre V6 RS 4 Avant model beyond that. Most A4 buyers though, will continue to want a diesel, probably the 2.0 TDI 150PS variant, which gets to 62mph from rest in a brisk 8.6s. If you want more diesel power, then a 190PS version of this unit is also available, plus there's a 218PS 3.0 TDI V6 model further up the range.
Design and Build
The external changes made to this fifth generation A4 are relatively slight. The volume 'SE' and 'Sport' versions get a revised front and rear bumper design, more pronounced side skirts, a special finish for the Singleframe and side air inlet grilles, a roof edge spoiler in Avant versions and a rear diffuser flanked by new look trapezoidal tailpipes. The 'SE' versions retain wheels of the same 17-inch diameter as before but in a new design, while 'Sport' models upgrade to a smarter, larger 18-inch wheel. The top 'S line' and 'Black Edition' models get a more striking 3D-look finish for the Singleframe front grille, plus 'S line' variants get new 19-inch wheels and a re-designed rear diffuser. Otherwise, it's as you were, which - to remind you - sees this MK5 model A4 riding on a light, stiff MLB platform and boasting the lowest drag coefficient in its class. As ever, there's a choice of either saloon or Avant estate bodystyles, the latter offering 505-litre boot - or 1,510-litres with the rear seats folded. The interior is of course typically Audi and a very classy place to be. Everything is well laid out with high grade materials in all areas you'll interact with regularly. There's the option of getting an 8.3" touchscreen mounted on top of the dashboard but even if you stick with the standard centre dash infotainment screen, you'll get an up-to-the-minute set-up able to support the latest Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Overall, you wouldn't call the appearance of this A4's cabin exciting but it would certainly be a soothing environment for long journeys. It's surely clever, a key option being the neat 'Audi virtual cockpit' we first saw on the TT sportscar. This replaces all the dials in front of the driver with a 12.3-inch high resolution LCD screen.
Market and Model
Prices have inevitably risen slightly, but still occupy much the same bracket as before, so expect to be paying somewhere between £28,000 and £40,000 for most models, with a premium of £1,400 for the Avant estate bodystyle. You get four trim levels - 'SE', 'Sport', 'S line' and 'Black Edition'. And there's a choice of three transmission options, a six-speed manual gearbox, plus two auto set-ups, a seven-speed dual-clutch S tronic and an older-tech eight-speed tiptronic. At least standard equipment is pretty complete across the line-up. All trim levels include alloy wheels of at least 17-inches in size, Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, the 'Audi smartphone' interface, the 'Audi drive select' driving dynamics system, three-zone climate control and a 7-inch colour MMI infotainment monitor. We'd want to look at a couple of key options. The 'Audi phone box' connects smartphones to the on-board antenna and charges them. Meanwhile, for discerning hi-fi fans, a Bang & Olufsen 3D Sound System with innovative 3D sound is available. As for safety, well along with the usual airbags and electronic safety nets such as ABS and stability control, there's optional active lane assist, a rear cross traffic alert, collision avoidance assist plus a cruise control system that assists with tiresome traffic-jams.
Cost of Ownership
Running costs are of course a vital consideration in this segment and this A4 offers some impressive numbers thanks to this generation model's weight reductions and that sleeker shape. The volume 2.0 TDI 150PS ultra diesel variant delivers best-in-class readings of 74.3mpg on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions of 99g/km. Opt for the pokier 2.0 TDI 190PS variant and the figures become 72.4mpg and 102g/km, so there's no huge penalty for the extra performance. The particularly cultured V6 TDI engines also show impressive restraint. The 218PS version with seven-speed S tronic transmission registers a 109g/km output when combined with Sport specification and front-wheel-drive. Also deserving of a special mention is the 2.0 TFSI petrol engine with 190PS. It slashes CO2 output to as little as 116g/km through the use of a completely new combustion process developed using the familiar Miller cycle as its basis, and will be notable for its ability to deliver optimal response across the entire engine speed range. All A4s come with a three year 60,000 mile warranty which can be extended to four years/75,000 miles or five years/90,000 miles for a fee. Audi residuals are some of the best in the business, assuming you pick a desirable engine and trim combination. Some restraint on the all too tempting options list will help too.

Onno needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 446 designs submitted by 108 freelance designers.
Looking for a strong, expressive and Fun logo for my Great Little Company:
I work together with a team on large project, creating GREAT sites and products. Though it's only LITTLE me you hire as a business consultant or concept developer/project manager, I prefer to work in the COMPANY of my own network of free lance professionals.
Great Little Company
I work as a business consultant, concept developer and project manager for online projects: e-commerce sites, e-learning games, corporate sites, broker services, etc.
The Companies who hire me value my services because I quickly understand complex problems, am able to come up with clear, creative solutions, and know how to organize a project to bring those solutions to life.
I started Great Little Company because I wanted to be able to realize larger scale projects by myself, by working together with other freelancers. The name Great Little Company resembles this idea that a small one-person venture can take on larger scale projects and realize great things by teaming up with others.
- I want a sleek, strong and clean logo.
- I want the logo to be expressive.
- I like a logo to be 'layered': on 2nd/3rd view you notice different aspects.
- The logo should revolve around one simple basic idea
- The logo should have reference to my line of work and/or the network of professionals I am working with
- The logo should be fun, but NOT crazy funny.
- Feel free to play around with the great-little paradox in the name.
- People who see my logo should understand that the business is about online, me+my network, new ideas, clear solutions.- The work can be as colourfull as you like. But the same logo should also 'survive' in a strong 1 or 2 color non-graded version
- Fun is important, but message, impact and readability come first.
- I want the art in a vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator with layers.
- When printed the logo should fit in a 2cm x 2cm box and still stand out
- As a reference: I like the work of Nevil Brody, the French bureau Grapus, as well as those old socialist posters of the early 20th century.
- I don't like the typical 2.0 designs: gradings+rounded corners+drop shadows
- I don't like busy designs with too much going on
- non-scalable
- a logo cluttered by a multitude of ideas

In your issue of Dec. 3 under Science, you imply that U.S. scientists are a group of madmen who are itching to exterminate life on earth in order to prove their theories. The possibility of an uncontrollable, disastrous chain reaction has been carefully considered, and there is no known or foreseeable way of starting one. Furthermore, your statement that Dr. Fermi bet that the New Mexico test would end in worldwide disaster is completely false.
We need only point out that in a development so new and so dangerous, in which many thousands of people were involved, only one fatal casualty occurred, aside from ordinary industrial accidents. As a matter of record, it has been stated officially that every possible consideration was given to all conceivable dangers of every step in the development and use of nuclear bombs and other chain reactions. This is true in any potentially hazardous research undertaking. Where calculated risks were taken, the extent of the worst conceivable damage that could occur was considered.
The purpose of science is to extend our knowledge and thereby our control of the forces of nature. The whole history of civilization is witness to the compelling necessity of this process. Any danger to mankind lies in the destructive use of discoveries which could have been used for its benefit. It does not lie in the discoveries themselves, least of all in the possibility that they may get physically out of control as you suggest in your article. . . .

Taka Bonerate Festival 2013
Stretching south of the main island of Sulawesi into the Flores Sea, the Taka Bonerate National Park in the Selayar Regency, in the province of South Sulawesi will come alive with all sorts of festivities when the Taka Bonerate Festival gets underway from 23rd to 29th November 2013.
The Festival will feature exciting activities such as International Fishing Competition (both Professional and Traditional), Traditional Culinary Delights Fiesta, Folk's games, and Art and Cultural Performances. As supporting programs, the event will also be highlighted with Underwater Photo Exhibition; Underwater and Coastal Area Photo Competition; and also Parasailing, Wind Surfing, and Jet skies attractions.
Taka Bonerate, together with the Wakatobi islands, Ambon, Banda and Raja Ampat, Bunaken as well as Derawan in Kalimantan, are at the heart of the Coral Triangle that stretches from the Solomon Islands in the east, to the Philippines in the north, to Bali, Lombok, Komodo, Flores and the Savu Sea in the south, forming the base of this huge triangle.
The Island of Selayar is the gateway to this extensive 530,765 hectares national park, of which 220,000 hectares form an expanse of atolls and lagoons. Taka Bonerate is the third largest atoll region in the world after Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands and Suvadiva in the Maldives.
To get to Selayar and Taka Bonerate, you should take a flight to Makassar, capital of South Sulawesi. There are direct flights from Singapore to Makassar on Garuda Indonesia and SilkAir. Since Makassar is the air hub for east Indonesia, almost all domestic carriers fly to Makassar from all main airports in the country.
From Makassar it is best to take an air-conditioned bus to Selayar that leaves around 09.00 am local time. The route goes via the town of Bira at Bulukumba Regency, where the bus will be loaded on the ferry to cross to Selayar and approximately arrived in Selayar at 07.30 pm local time. From Selayar it still takes some 8 hours trip by boat from the town of Benteng to the island of Tinabo, the heart of Taka Bonerate .

Canadian alt-rock icon Matthew Good will close the 15th annual "Buffalo Place Rocks Canalside" concert series presented by M&T Bank and produced by Buffalo Place Inc. in downtown Buffalo on Saturday, Aug. 31. The show begins at 6 p.m.
Friday, Aug. 30, will feature Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo and special guest Eric Burdon.
Good was discovered at an open mic night at Simon Fraser University. His early career in music began as the lead singer for a folk band Rodchester Kings. With unique lyrics and Good's instantly recognizable voice, the Matthew Good Band created one of the most successful independent records in Canadian history, 1995's "Last Of The Ghetto Astronauts." In the following years, hit singles, "Hello Time Bomb," "Everything is Automatic" and "Load Me Up" gave the band cross-border success and a cult following in Canada.
In 1998, Matthew Good Band won a Juno Award for Best New Group. After that, Matthew Good Band released four albums and then went on hiatus. Good has gone on to record six studio albums, including the popular "Vancouver," which earned him a Juno Award for 2011 Rock Album of the Year.
Tickets for Matthew Good are $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the show.
Tickets for Pat Benatar on Friday, Aug. 30, are also $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the show.

PARIS — When covering Pope Benedict's travels, journalists sometimes feel they're in a parallel news universe, far from the realm of political mudslinging or hurricane tracking.
In this universe, theological and philosophical ideas are the stuff of stories. It matters if the pope uses a phrase like "positive laicitè." Attention is duly paid to his citations of church thinkers who died many centuries ago. And reporters try to distill a lead from the pontiff's explication of medieval monasticism and its impact on Western culture.
There were signs in France, however, that breaking into the U.S. news cycle — dominated these days by who was calling whom a pig — may not be easy for the German pope.
The pope's address to academics in Paris was a case in point. The speech came with a Vatican build-up. We were told earlier in the week by the Vatican spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, that this was big, that it would treat the theme of faith and reason, and that the pope was working hard to hone the text.
It would come almost exactly two years after the pope's address at the University of Regensburg in Germany. That speech, as we all remembered, was supposed to be a dry academic treatise and turned out to be a bombshell because of what it said about Islam and religious fanaticism.
His speech Friday night in Paris, however, did not offer many catch phrases or easy news hooks. It presented his strongly argued case that the connection between Western civilization and Christian theology runs deep, and that Christian values cannot simply be jettisoned today, as if they were unreasonable or a merely sentimental indulgence.
The pope's historical survey of the contributions of the "culture of monasticism" was long and detailed, touching on monastic scholarship, Scripture, worship and work. It drew from many sources and was studded with Latin phrases.
Most French media found the pope's content worthy of consideration. It was indeed a "theology lesson," as the newspaper Le Figaro put it, but one worth some space. Even the leftist daily Liberation described the talk as an erudite contribution to an ongoing debate.
I'm guessing that this speech won't make much impact in the mainstream U.S. media. It just didn't push the right buttons. A quick check of newspaper Web sites, in fact, shows that the pope's trip to France so far is ending up in the "around the world" briefs column.
Maybe this trip is just too geared to a European audience. Or maybe in these days of Sarah and Ike, Benedict's message is bound to make fewer waves in the United States.

"If there are people who think that by doing a two-year extension, they can outlast Chairman Lucas so they can get somebody in differently, somebody who's not developed all the callouses and all the gristle and all the scars that I've developed in this process over recent years, I'm not leaving until we finish this farm bill," Lucas tells AgriTalk in the final clip of a four-part video series. "If I have to ask the Republican steering committee for more time as chairman, I will." At the same time, he acknowledges that some within his own party—as well as some Democrats—would probably prefer that another person chair the committee. "I think there are some of my friends on the right who would like to dramatically reduce, strip out, remove the safety net concepts, who view me as one of the biggest problems," Lucas says. "By the same token, there are probably some of my friends on the left who believe that if you wait two years, maybe there won't be a Republican majority and instead of focusing on a balanced set of reforms, balanced savings, then we'll go back to the old-tradition model of taking it all out of the production side and leave the social welfare side alone. We're not going to let that happen." Click play below to watch the complete clip with Lucas: Back to news

Providing a brief description of autism is like asking someone to simply and concisely explain all of mathematics. Just as every person is different, every person with autism presents different behaviors and symptoms.
"Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) impacts how a child perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in crucial areas of development — social interaction, communication and behavior," explains the Mayo Clinic. "Each child with ASD is likely to have a unique pattern of behavior and level of severity — from low-functioning to high-functioning."
Many levels of autism
The learning, thinking and problem-solving abilities of people with autism can range from gifted to severely challenged, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Although there are many theories, the specific causes of autism remain unknown.
"In all likelihood, what we call 'autism' is an umbrella term for a number of different kinds of mental problems, but they all share some common symptoms — just as a fever might be a sign of many different kinds of illnesses," scholastic.com reports. The bottom line is lots of research is going on, but there are no conclusive answers yet.
Recognizing symptoms
The list of symptoms connected with autism is extensive. Some people might have noticeable issues; others might not. WebMD notes the common thread is differences in social skills, communication and behavior compared with people who aren't on the spectrum.
There are generally no visible physical indications a person has autism. Because the disorder primarily impacts social interaction and communication, people who exhibit autistic traits can be ridiculed or ostracized for their behavior.
Some examples of common autistic traits include:
- Trouble forming relationships
- Difficulty understanding or responding to emotional signals from others
- Using language creatively
- Repetitive, self-stimulatory behavior, such as staring at a fan
- Repetitive motor movements such as hand flapping, jumping, rocking or spinning
- Constant moving and hyper behavior
- Fixations on specific activities or objects
- Obsession with routines or rituals (and getting upset when a routine is changed, even slightly)
- Extreme sensitivity to touch, light and sound
- Not taking part in "make-believe" play or imitating others' behaviors
- Fussy eating habits
- Lack of coordination, clumsiness
- Impulsiveness (acting without thinking)
- Aggressive behavior, both with self and others
- Short attention span
- Inability to recognize sarcasm or joking
- Delayed speech or language skills
A growing concern
The incidence of children with autism is rapidly increasing. The CDC reports that, among 8-year-old children in 2002, there were 6.6 cases of autism per 1,000 children. In 2012, among 8-year-old children, there were 14.6 cases of reported autism per 1,000.
Identifying children with autism can be a challenge because there is no medical mechanism, like a blood test, that can be used to provide a definitive diagnosis. While some children can be accurately diagnosed by age 2, many children are much older before receiving a final diagnosis.
Treatments to help children with autism are most effective when started at an early age. As a result, the CDC notes a delay in diagnosis means some children who have autism might not get the help they need. Organizations like the National Autism Network can connect parents and caregivers with treatment providers and available resources, and even offer resources for adults with autism.
Fortunately, public awareness about autism is bringing increased assistance to those affected. The popular kids' show "Sesame Street" is even introducing a character with autism named Julia. Hopefully, the more people know, the more understanding and accepting they can be when meeting and interacting with those on the autism spectrum.

Handmade Art, Prints, and Posters
Art can be uplifting, inspiring or controversial. It can evoke a memory, be a conversation piece or be a daily reminder of the wonderful artist who created it. Here are five varied and amazing artists who I'm fortunate enough to call my friends. I have pieces from each of them in my home and wanted to share their talent with you.
Shown above the jump, from left to right
1 Martin Hsu "Nostalgia for Peony" ($80) - "A tribute to fashionable hard working ladies in a fantasy world of auspicious peony flowers." Martin introduced this print at Comic Con in July and, if his previous prints are any indication, you should buy yours before it sells out!
2 Albert Reyes "Pussycat" - Albert is a prolific illustrator and painter who often uses old book covers on which to render his art. His subjects range from pop culture icons and animals to painfully introspective self portraits.
3 Kayt Hester "Pixie Profile" ($150) - Kayt's creates amazing portraits in, would you believe, black masking tape! Painstakingly torn and placed to create strikingly familiar scenes. This one is of her kitty, Pixie Doodle.
4 Kiyoshi Nakazawa "F.U. You Are Why I Drink" ($40) - Hand screenprinted in Los Angeles, this piece evokes the feeling of a punk rock Russ Meyer vixen. Kiyoshi is also the man behind the long-running 'zine, Drunken Master.
5 Kozyndan "Nakano Print" ($30) - This 38"x6" print was originally a 10 foot wide painting exhibited at the Giant Robot Biennale at the Japanese American National Museum. Favorite subjects of theirs include bunnies, cats and sea life. They just returned from a trip where they swam with humpback whales!

She tells People magazine, "We're friendly. It's all fine."
The star admits she's been surrounding herself with family as she re-adjusts to life as a single girl and she is enjoying spending every spare moment with her big sister, actress Emily Deschanel, and her newborn nephew Henry.
She says, "I'm a little clueless around babies. But I'm obsessed with my nephew. He's so cute."

5 Smooth & Summery Smoothies
Fresh fruit is a staple in the summer and honestly, I can't get enough. While I love to eat fresh fruit straight up, sometimes it's even better to blend them together. Don't think smoothies are too time consuming to whip up — they really only take a few minutes!
Smoothies can be made from any combination of items. Traditional varieties can include straight up fruit such as strawberry and pineapple and the outcome is always so refreshing and delicious. If you're trying to be a little more creative, try the Banana Cashew Smoothie from Real Simple. It sounds so creamy, refreshing and a really delicious snack.
There are smoothies for just about anything: health, diet, snack, dessert — you name it and there's a smoothie for it. Here are 5 smooth and summery smoothies to try:
• Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie, Annie's Eats
• Green Machine Smoothie, Cookie and Kate
• Spring Forward Vegan Smoothie, Lunch Box Bunch
• Banana Cashew Smoothie, Real Simple
• Watermelon Smoothie, Martha Stewart

Peyton Manning is taking his first big step as a brand new Denver Bronco -- TMZ has learned, the star quarterback just purchased a multi-million dollar mansion in a ritzy suburb outside the Mile High City.
Real estate sources tell TMZ, Peyton -- who split with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this year -- closed the deal Monday for the 16,000 square foot home in the exclusive Cherry Hills Village, agreeing to pay $4,575,000.
The house has 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, 7 car garage, a gated entrance, a panic room ... and a freaking elevator.
But Peyton won't have a problem affording the place -- the guy signed a 5-year contract with the Broncos on March 20th ... worth $96 MILLION.
Tebow, who?

A Conversation with Maria Dahvana Headley
Maria Headley and I have known each other since the late '90s, when we were both struggling, semi-idealistic aspiring playwrights attending the Dramatic Writing Program at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. I was a couple years ahead of Maria and destined soon to flee Manhattan for the coziness of the University of New Hampshire, while Maria was destined to embark on the ... experiment ... that would lead to her new memoir, The Year of Yes.
What was the experiment? Quite a simple one: She said yes to everybody who asked her out on a date. Everybody.
I haven't yet read The Year of Yes, but I know there's a happy ending to it all, because Maria married Robert Schenkkan, the Pulitzer-winning writer of The Kentucky Cycle plays, as well as Lewis and Clarke Reach the Euphrates, currently playing at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. He's not just an accomplished writer, but, by all accounts, a marvelous human being.
Maria and I did a decidedly silly interview, because everybody else keeps asking her serious questions, and I've never subjected her to such things (even when I directed her in an excerpt from Peter Handke's play "Offending the Audience" in a directing class we survived together). Here it is:
We knew each other at NYU when you were a freshman and I was a junior, after which time I transferred to UNH and you began your experiment (a coincidence, not a correlation). How did you survive four years when I could only get through three?
After year one, beginning a long slide into chaos and empty pockets, I barely appeared on the floor [of the Dramatic Writing Program], because I a) had five jobs, and b) was a colossal snob and wanted to "learn from life" instead of from teachers and c) was dating all of New York. When I met you, though, I was a writing program innocent, and we suffered together the aggravation of a certain directing class. It was only later that I became the libertine The Year of Yes details.
So should I have just gone on dates with anybody who asked?
Obviously. Also with anyone who whistled, made cat sounds, groaned as you passed, said things like "Uh-huh," "Work it, mama," and "Yo, yo, yo, I know you, right?", made eyes, made kissy faces, made sounds like a sprinkler from out of the dark, hit on you as you were foraging for ice cream in the back of a bodega freezer case, and/or as they were teaching a class you were a student in. Hey, it turned out well for me.
Much of my survival at NYU can be attributed to choosing people to have crushes on, obsessing over them as I wrote, and then managing to churn out some fairly decent writing based on thwarted yearning. Christina Nehring wrote an essay about this a few years ago in Harpers...though hers was about the benefits of teacher-student lust on the productivity of both. I had some of that too, but my preferred poison was always grad students. You could leave notes in their cubby holes, and then flee, blushing and snorting to yourself. My favorite of those was a hot Puerto Rican yoga master playwright, but he volunteered to babysit my cat while I was on vacation, and the cat neurotically ate his entire broom and then vomited straw across the guy's house. The guy didn't really like me after that happened, for some reason. Perhaps he saw a correlation between cat-neurosis and me-neurosis. I might have eaten his broom too, out of sheer joy, if he'd only let me have a few moments in downward dog with him. It was not to be. Sigh.
How, in hindsight, do you think you could have prevented the cat from eating the broom?
Slept with the broom's owner, obviously. My cat was driven to eat his broom because of displaced sexual tension. If the guy and I had just slept together, we would've been purged of this, and my cat would no doubt have curled up sweetly at his house and napped. Being kept from the one you want to love is, in the end, all too similar to straw gobbling. After my cat ate the broom, he proceeded to get into a battle with the guy's miniature pinscher. He came home with two black eyes, and a bite of ear missing, not to mention a troubled digestive tract. He was really never the same. All he wanted was love, love and the chance to spin straw into gold...or in this case, not exactly gold. But still. I think a good roll in the hay (or straw, or linoleum, or futon) with the guy would've helped both me and my cat considerably.
I heard from a publishing insider that the original title of your memoir was actually Magic for Beginners, but that Kelly Link heard about it, wanted the title herself, and threatened to subject you to an endless marathon of zombie movies unless you gave it to her. Is this true?
It's true, it's true! Before that, though, it was called Exit Pursued by a Bear, and, to my woe, no one had a clue what I was talking about, or even that I was referencing Shakespeare. I tried to go with Alchemy for Experts, but that seemed a little too similar to Kelly's book, and I didn't want to seem like a copycat. Besides: magic trumps alchemy. You can do anything with magic. Alchemy only gives you gold. Which, in the end, is not all you need. Gold alone will not get you satisfaction: witness the pitiable pick-up line foisted on me by an LA guy recently, when he spied me scribbling in a notebook...
SLIMY GUY: You know, I'm actually a writer too.It didn't work, needless to say. I went home and watched a few of the zombie movies premptively, just in case Kelly was planning to make good on her threat. However, zombies are really nothing compared to random guys in coffee shops.
MARIA: (not looking at him) That's interesting.
SLIMY GUY: Except, I write checks. Big ones. For lots of money. Because I have lots of money.
How did you go about reconstructing the events of your life into a narrative? Do you have a perfect memory, or did you just start making stuff up when you needed?
I have endless notebooks from this period of time. I was, after all, in a writing program. My notebooks from class are all hybrids of notes on Arthurian Myth, and some guy named Craig's phone number and identifying characteristics. I kept thinking I was going to make a one-woman show out of the material, but it never worked. I had, incidentally, far more material than I actually used. I went out with about 150 people during this year, and I only really wrote about my favorites. So, I didn't need to make anything up. I'm sure, though, that there are things I made up without knowing it. Memory is a bitch that way. It fills in blanks, and you have no idea that it's filling them in out of scenes from Sam Shepard plays you were reading at the time. So, if Sam reads this book and recognizes anything, I apologize. I thought it was real.
Might you still consider making The Year of Yes into a one-woman show? And would you ever consider casting me to play you in it?
Yes, maybe. I also have a composer friend who might want to make it into a musical with me. If that happens, I'm hoping for a nice chorus line of Ziegfieldian feather dancers. Why have a musical, if you aren't going to have feather dancers? And yes, I would definitely cast you. You could then go out with a spectrum of guys that I don't need to go out with again. I think you and I have enough in common that things would be fine. As long as you're willing to wear a Maria wig. A very unflattering one, considering that at the time of the year, I was cutting my own hair, and thought I'd look good with Bettie Page bangs. Not so much, it turned out.
Who do you think does look good with Bettie Page bangs?
Bettie Page. Period. I've tried them three times to date, each time because of total amnesia about what I actually look like, and each time, I've had to immediately grow them out. Maybe I also shouldn't cut my own hair with dull scissors. This is possible. And maybe I should also learn how to really use scissors. I'm a defiant leftie, but I spent most of first grade doing a unit the teacher called "Scissor Skills." She was trying to make me right-handed. Now, because of her, I cut right-handed, but not in a good way. People think I have cerebral palsy when they see me with scissors. So maybe Bettie Page bangs would look good on someone who actually had control of her scissor skills, and didn't feel the need to hack at the bangs in public restrooms with toenail scissors. Maybe. I doubt it, though. They're hard to pull off.
You and your husband are both writers. Many of the writers-married-to-writers I know are miserable and seething with repressed jealousy and self-hatred. How do you avoid misery, jealousy, and self-hatred?
We solve that by reversing our seething with misery, jealousy and self-hatred onto other people, who we loathe together, spill vitriol upon together, and yowl our choices of insult at through non-connected phone lines together. Robert's favored insult, used on anything from computer malfunction to Hollywood executives, is the following choice phrase: "You tedious motherfucking cocksucker." I sometimes hear him whispering it to his hard drive. My favorite insults are combination punches involving descendants from goat-fucking ancestors, and a variety of custom-curses. My office is in the basement and Robert's is in the attic, so our middle floor is reserved for friendly conversation, lunch together, and naps. Mostly, we don't do the same thing. If he started writing prose, there might be trouble. I do write plays, but I don't have a Pulitzer (unless husband and wife are one Pulitzer Prize Winner), so he doesn't feel too threatened in that area.
Has anybody asked you to start a dating and/or sex advice column?
Yes. We shall see, but I think I might just do it. There are lots of tortured and mangled people out there. I'm, in fact, one of them. I think maybe there ought to be someone who could call bullshit on all of our drama, from a nice print platform.
Want to practice? How would you answer the following:
Do you agree with Rufus Wainwright that 'the gay messiah is coming', and if so, what does this mean for straight women who keep finding themselves falling in love with nice men who turn out to be gay? --Wary in WichitaThe only thing that pains me in the Wainwright song is that the Gay Messiah is wearing tubesocks. To me, tubesocks reek of straightness, and they are usually worn pulled to the knee, while in bed, with tighty whities. Or maybe that's just my own bad memory of not-falling in love with a man who was not-remotely-gay -- I would have liked him far more if he was. I think it's a rite of passage for straight women to fall for gay men. I've had at least two or three. Maybe it's part of the Gay Messiah's plan. Love one another, etcetera, etcetera, regardless of unconventional bedroom situations. Who needs conventional?

Asked someone out then I find out they are asexual.
Celibacy is referred to when someone is unmarried and abstains from the act due to religious reasons (priests, monks, nuns).
Involuntary celibacy (from now on incel) happens for reasons other than voluntary celibacy, asexuality, antisexuality and sexual abstinence.
Asexuality in this case isn't just a lack of sex drive. It's also a lack of attraction to other people, either physical, affective or both, and rather than being something you choose, it's something you feel. Like a calling.

Don't you mean homosexual? Asexual means that she can get pregnant without anybody fertilizing her eggs. In other words she reproduces by making clones of herself. Pretty sure that humans cant do that unless you were referring to a non-human female species.
you're thinking of asexual reproduction. in this sense asexual means without a sexual orientation

So like the title says I asked a girl out who then told me she is asexual. It looks like we will end up really good friends. I know this is a bad place to probably ask for advice but I figured why not. I am mainly worried I will not be able to get over my feelings and that I end up not being able to be around her because I cannot handle it. Any advice?
Sorry, but you got blown off. Just remember the old saying: "Rejection makes the heart grow harder." Or something like that. . .
just wandering about...
just tell her "hey, are you a alien" < just stright up making fun of her
"yo i'm a sexual too, you never know?" < re bound pick up line
So much to do, SO little time! I'll give someone $100 if they can freeze time !

I mean, two people of the opposite sex can have that closeness of friendship without sexual tensions involve.
It is really happening may it be not often times now in the Western countries but here in Asia still a lot.
Man and Woman just friends close even best of friends no sexual feelings involve just like the closeness of brother and sister.
In a relationship, where in your in love specially if your a guy, i think it is quite hard to be not physically able to express your feelings like holding hands, to having a kiss and so forth. On the other hand, to a lady it depends upon her. Some are quite comfortable of being intimate to her guy even if they are not married yet. Clearly depends on your morals, family and your belief may it be religion or self spiritual guide. Some still preserve that to their right guy. The one who take the vow of marriage not just as a aw requirement but to a law of higher being sealed in a force called true love.
Nowadays, my students, my employee, my subordinates and my friends have a different ideas or thoughts on this and clearly with their on set of different experiences maybe it be on their own, articles that they read, movies that they watch or even their own set of friends as well.
So far in general, When a man is in love with a woman...there's a thin line separating just LOVE or PURE LOVE and LOve with Physical urges. SADLY most of the guys now...LOVe is more than that feeling it is some what a 60 percent of CAN I HAVE AN intimate ACTION with you.
In the end, it is clearly UP TO YOU. NOT the advise you part take and not the ideas you have but the feelings you feel inside for her the woman you love that is which you defined ASEXUAL.
As a bit of a side note, I have come across several asexual people in my life, most of them being women. I still find it a bit of an oddity, to meet someone who is perfectly fine with platonic human relations, but has complete aversion to romantic and sexual relations. There's one girl I know, who's never dated a guy, has never had sex, but realizes in it's entirety that she may be missing out even though she has zero desire to do these things...
Respect the beard.
Why do people always mix up sex and love?
Allready an "old fart" I would like to add: Do all young people only think about sex the whole day?
Searching a demoness from hell or goddess from heaven...
Did you forget puberty already?
Most people are referring to this definition of the term: 'asexual' and not the 'I not a male, or a female'...most of the time. I have come across a few people, which are Sexual abstinence for personal/ non personal reasons. You do not need to make a big deal about this, it is just not necessary. yes, you might have a crush on the person right now. But, those feeling will just pass over time. Just respect the persons beliefs and do not try to change them. So, in short: Respect this person's orientation and just move on.
Sexual abstinence is the practice of refraining from some or all aspects of sexual activity for medical, psychological, legal, social, philosophical or religious reasons. Asexuality is distinct from sexual abstinence and celibacy, which are behavioral and generally motivated by factors such as an individual's personal or religious beliefs
^my two cents about this topic^
The past is the past, don't let it cloud who you are now.

I have been around the block myself and have been a man whore myself in the my late teens early twenties...
lately I have found out having sex is not what love is. although I do not know what love is myself at least I know it aint sex. and if thats what is gonna take up my whole day then I rather not think about it... I do have more productive stuff to do with my time.

My six year old spent first grade "locked out" from playing at recess by a group of mean girls. Bullying starts younger than you think. (Or at least than I thought!)
Bullying is a very real problem. For too many of our precious children.
We must step up to teach our children the skills they need to not be the bullied, the bully, or the bystander. Teaching our children about feelings, empathy, and good communication skills will help prevent bullying. Ask your schools to teach feelings, empathy, and communication as well.
For advice on helping your child deal with a bully, here are my five favorite books for parents.
Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman
(best for middle-school age girls)
Little Girls Can Be Mean by Michelle Anthony and Reyna Lindert
(best for elementary age girls)
No Kidding About Bullying by Naomi Drew
The Bully, The Bullied, and the Bystander by Barbara Coloroso
Parent's Guide to Preventing and Responding to Bulling by Dr. Jason Thomas
Do you have any other book recommendations for us? Which of these do you already know? Comment here.

Hawks' Crawford blanks Blues in matinee showdownby Louie Korac
ST. LOUIS -- The Chicago Blackhawks are making life rough for those Western Conference teams fighting to stay in the playoff race.
Count the St. Louis Blues among those in survival mode and trying to beat the team with the best record in the National Hockey League proved too tough a task Sunday afternoon.
Bryan Bickell scored his ninth of the season, Marian Hossa added a shorthanded goal and Corey Crawford earned his third shutout in the Blackhawks' 2-0 win over the Blues at Scottrade Center.
In a game that the Blues wanted to offset Chicago's speed and skill with physicality and punishment, the Blackhawks' speed was opportunistic on the first goal, and some skill off a faceoff accounted for the insurance tally. The Blackhawks see it from many teams they face. The Blues are no different.
"You don't have much room to dangle or play the nice hockey," said Hossa, who netted his 15th goal of the season.
Added Crawford, who stopped 30 shots: "We can play physical, too, but just stay away from that crap after the whistles."
Chicago improved to a League-best 17-2-2 away from home and continues to strengthen its hold on the top spot in the League at 32-5-4, good for 68 points. Crawford was able to keep the Blues off the board, stopping 30 shots for his eighth career shutout.
"I thought we got better as the first period went on," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "Physically, they were ready to play.
"It's a hard game. Getting that lead was important. I thought we stuck together and played a good, hard game."
The Blues (23-16-2), who have dropped two straight after winning a season-best six in a row, got 24 stops from Brian Elliott. The Blues were blanked on home ice for the third time this season, including the second time by the Blackhawks, who won 3-0 here Feb. 28. Coach Ken Hitchcock also missed out on his second bid to win his 600th career game.
"It was a good hockey game. It was a playoff game," Hitchcock said. "They had guys that were great, we had guys that were great. Some of our guys we need more from."
Despite winning six of eight in the month of April, the Blues have now scored five goals in five games.
"I think it's a fine line the whole season at this time. Everybody's on the fine line," Hitchcock said. "You need something positive to happen, somebody to step up and get us to the next level.
"We're playing pretty well 5-on-5, our penalty killing really gives us a chance every night, but whether it's top players scoring or whether it's a little more contribution from the power play, whatever, that's the edge. We have to find that edge."
The first period was scoreless but certainly spirited. Both teams played physical and the skirmishes after whistles were certainly indicative that this had a playoff feel to it.
"We want to play our best games going into playoffs," said Crawford, who improved to 9-1-2 against the Blues in his career. "This team is a good test for us, for playoff hockey. They play hard they play physical. They were trying to get us off our game but we stuck with the way we play and waited for our chances.
"Teams are going to try to get to us, push our skill guys around and we just have to ignore it like we did tonight just keep playing our game."
Elliott made the two best stops of the game early, the first on Patrick Kane from the right circle on a one-timer, then on Dave Bolland alone in front after a rebound.
St. Louis' Kevin Shattenkirk had the biggest hit of the game with 1:56 left in the opening period, catching Andrew Shaw with a shoulder check that sent the Blackhawks' wing spiraling to the ice.
It was that kind of beginning, but the Blues had nothing to show for an inspired opening 20 minutes.
"I think we worked fine. We were doing some good things," Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester said. "It's one of those things where maybe if you do score a goal, it changes the game, get that momentum. You just have to battle through it. You know you're playing a good team."
The game was more under control in the second period, and Chicago got the lone goal when Bickell netted his third in five games.
Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko missed on a chance to shoot the puck in the offensive zone and lost both an edge and the puck. It allowed the Blackhawks to take off on an odd-man rush. Elliott made the initial stop, but Bickell was on the backside post and stuffed the puck in 4:31 into the second period for a 1-0 advantage.
"They check well and they play that tight game," Quenneville said. "They don't give up much space and time.
"It's a different game when you are chasing that team. It was important to get that first one."
The goal broke Elliott's shutout streak at 214 minutes. He has the franchise record for most consecutive shutout minutes at 241:33, set last season from March 15-April 4. Elliott came into the game with three consecutive shutouts -- all on the road.
"It bounced side to side and it went right on the guy's tape and he hit the post first and I almost got it on the second one," said Elliott, who was 5-0-0 with a 0.84 goals-against average and .968 save percentage in his last five appearances. "I'm not concerned about the streak. It's getting the win."
The Blues, mired in a deep power-play funk, made things worse when Hossa snapped a shorthanded goal through Elliott's pads 6:34 into the third period after Jonathan Toews won an offensive zone faceoff from Andy McDonald to make it 2-0. It was the Blues' third power-play of the game, and they are now 6-for-72 in the past 27 games.
"That's what makes them a great team," Blues captain David Backes said of the Blackhawks. "They're even missing a few of their potent guys up front with [Patrick] Sharp out and a couple other guys. They magnify your mistakes in a heartbeat."
Once given a lead, Crawford got better after the Blackhawks gave him another goal to work with.
"I thought Crawford was great in the net," Quenneville said. "Big, solid tracked the puck well especially with the traffic and action at the net.
"Our goalies have been doing whatever they can to keep us in games and winning games."
Said Crawford: "I've been pretty focused all year. I felt good today. The main thing is everyone is playing well. We need everyone to play well every night."

Disagree on your analysis of freezing and boiling for calibration. It's a well accepted way to calibrate thermometers , considering most do not havens calibration block. The point being, you don't care about the temps of 32 and 210-212, they just provide references on both ends of temperature spectrum so you can establish a calibration curve for your thermometer.How would you replicate 150f or similar mash temp and know its that temp without a calibration block??
My elevation is 210f for boiling. And no, there is no knowing for sure, but it's the best I can do or anyone can do without a calibration block - exactly why the reason I started this thread. Within a degree is the best I can hope for with these tests.Anyway, apparently nobody can say there mash temps are dead on ( w/o calibration device) and if there thermometer is accurate after months or years of use. "Its easy enough to add 150F to 180F water into an insulated jug or container and insert the reference and working thermometers." - Mabrungard, can you explain how you go about doing this... Thanks.
" I finally gave up and bought a calibration thermo that I use to calibrate my brewing thermos at 150F." - Denny- can you explain....not sure what you mean by calibration thermo?
where would you buy one of these calibrated alcohol scientific calibration thermometers - got a brand or link?
I don't have the funds to get one of those crazy awesome ones... but perhaps the $30 Lollipop would be worth the investment.

Animation Production: Production I. G
Genre: SciFi-Mystery??
Expected Release Date: Spring 2009
Website: http://www.juiz.jp/
Now this is one series I'm very interested at just because Kamiyama Kenji is spearheading the project from every front. I'm also guessing that his involvement guarantees that we will see some better animation work from Production I. G. The story reads just as interesting. The synopsis in the following is borrowed from here:
On November 22, 2010 ten missiles strike Japan. However, this unprecedented terrorist act, later to be called as "Careless Monday," does not result in any apparent victims, and is soon forgotten by almost everyone. Then, 3 months later... Saki Morimi is a young woman currently in the United States of America on her graduation trip. But just when she is in front of the White House, Washington DC, she gets into trouble, and only the unexpected intervention of one of her fellow countrymen saves her. However, this man, who introduces himself as Akira Takizawa, is a complete mystery. He appears to have lost his memory. and he is stark naked, except for the gun he holds in one hand, and the mobile phone he's holding with the other hand. A phone that is charged with 8,200,000,000 yen in digital cash.Feel free to add any pertinent information, so the opening post can be updated accordingly. Looking forward to it.

I'm totally hooked on that synopsis. I think, currently this is the series I'm looking forward to most in the next season.
Just wish they would put new information on the website sometime soon... like the character design. (which I'm looking foward to, because Chika Umino is involved, yeah!)

There's a tiny, tiny scan from the latest Newtype available on Moonphase Diary that gives an idea of the character designs and artwork if you squint closely. It looks beautiful (I know most anime looks good these days, but it really does look shiny) and I love Umino's character designs and the way they've been adapted.
Apparently the article also says there will be a movie version out later this year. Normally I hope for continuations rather than re-edits, but in this case I'd much rather we had a complete TV series.

Another article about the series and movie: http://www.cinematopics.com/cinema/n...?news_seq=8010
It says that the TV series will run for 11 eps. So I guess this is Kamiyama's shortest series so far! Hope it's good.

I spent a whole load of time last night typing up all the useful blog entries on the website about various terms to be used in the show, but got fed up and deleted them all before posting. Because I'm actually rather interested in this series (I might even WATCH it!), a basic summary of the interesting salient points is below, spoilered for people who like to go in completely blind:

"Juiz" means "Judge" in English. So probably he's the one who hands out the verdicts?
Anyway, thanks for the info, BluWacky! Now that I know they've got some names in Portuguese (my native language) on it I'm even more interested.
By the way, weren't there any new scans on Newtype? I saw a small one on moonphase a few days ago, so I wonder if there are bigger scans on the net by now? Should just read above.

Today is the 90th Anniversary of Women Gaining the Right to Vote
Speaking of which, Nancy Pelosi wrote an article today celebrating this anniversary while urging women to vote. I did a lot of voter registration work this summer and I can attest that not nearly enough women (particularly young women) vote in off-year elections. So celebrate this anniversary by voting and reading the below Susan B. Anthony quotes which I included out of hero worship.
"It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union."
"The fact is, women are in chains, and their servitude is all the more debasing because they do not realize it."
"[T]here never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers."
"I can't say that the college-bred woman is the most contented woman. The broader her mind the more she understands the unequal conditions between men and women, the more she shafes under a government that tolerates it."
12 comments:
I'm not sure, but is it supposed to say "chafes," instead of "shafes" near the end?

This entire article is absurd and ignored the history of women of colour as well as differently abled women and voting.

- Amelia said...
Renee, do you mean this post or the article linked to? Just for clarification?
- August 26, 2010 at 3:02 PM
- Renee said...
You wrote about the celebration of women's right to vote and encouraged women to celebrate though not all women won the vote in 1920. Every year I see this erasure in the feminist community and a disabled WOC it is become old and tired to be so continually erased.
- August 26, 2010 at 3:17 PM
- Amelia said...
I absolutely understand where you are coming from, Renee, and as a blogger and activist, I respect your input greatly.
I just wanted to clarify.
But in fact, this post was written by one of my contributors, Victoria, and I'll encourage her to address this issue as an addition to this post.
- August 26, 2010 at 3:26 PM
- Amelia said...
I say in addition because I still think it is important, as Victoria attmpted to do, to draw attention to small victories, even if they are sorely incomplete victories.
- August 26, 2010 at 3:37 PM
- Victoria said...
Anonymous- my guess is that is how they spelled it way back when, I just cut and pasted it from the link of Susan B. quotes.
Renee- I am sorry for not clarifying who exactly one the right to vote 90 years ago. It is important to remember that the feminist movement started (and to a certain extent remains) a previledged one.
That being said, that does not mean it is not something worth celebrating. It was an imperfect victory, but it was a victory nonetheless.
Thank you for reminding us that only certain women won the right to vote 90 years ago and that it took other women much longer to receive this basic right.

I think you didn't get the point of what I am saying. Calling it women's equality day is insulting because the only equality being referenced is that of able bodied White women. It was not just that a few were excluded, it was that that the majority of the female population were silenced and therefore celebrating this day encourages divisions between women. Year after year I see feminists celebrating this date, with little to no acknowledgment of what it really means, until WOC or disabled women speak up. My question is, how long are we going to keep having this conversation. The continual erasure is no small matter.
- August 26, 2010 at 4:08 PM
- Amelia said...
Renee, I appreciate you stopping by this comment section because clearly I have been privileged enough to not have to really think about this day in the way you are positing.
Your point is clear to me (especially about calling it Equality Day - wow), and at least on my part, I want to work toward making this something that people understand when they consider the anniversary on this day.
I consider this a learning experience. I know it has to be tiresome to call people out on this, but I appreciate your effort.
- August 26, 2010 at 6:41 PM
I'm curious, when was the real equality day? You could have a special post for that too.
- August 26, 2010 at 7:37 PM
Never mind, I just looked it up myself. It appears that although all women were technically allowed to vote through the 19th amendment, in practice poll taxes were used to keep many if not most female minorities from exercising their right. Poll taxes were made unconstitutional on January 23rd, 1964 through the 24th amendment:
...and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (Signed into law on August 6th) took care of all other exclusionary tools.
So while that doesn't only apply to women (poll taxes and such were used on male minorities too), January 23rd and August 4th might deserve posts when they come around.
- August 26, 2010 at 7:56 PM
- Victoria said...
I totally understand your frustration. I understand that I made a mistake in not qualifying my excitement over today's anniversary by saying how priveledged the victory was.
However, I also want to be careful that we do not besmirch the victories of past feminists. Yes, only some women won the right to vote 90 years ago. However, it was still an amazing victory that ANY women won the right to vote. It was imperfect, and also racist and ableist. I would never argue that it was great for all or even most women, but I think we should celebrate ANY step toward equality (while, of course, acknowledging how far we still have to go).
Also, though my post obviously had its flaws, I want to defend myself a little by saying that I least didn't call it "Equality Day." ;) I totally agree that it is a misleading and inaccurate portrayal of the anniversary.
