Scroll BarsPosted by Rusty Banks in Uncategorized
While rubbing his forehead, contemplating solutions for the mess-of-a-student-work I had handed him, my composition teacher helpfully explained:
"Visual artists have a great advantage over us. They can see the whole canvas before they start. As they work, they know exactly where the latest stroke falls in the overall composition."
His point was one typically made to young composers; get a plan.
Since then, I've also thought about what this might mean for the listeners. Sitting there, listening to our work for the first time, how is the audience to measure the weight of a specific event they have just heard. Were that event in the middle of the piece it might mean something different than if it had occurred in the first tenth of the piece. In older music, there are auditory signals such as pedal tones in Bach or Beethoven. In a chamber work, pedals often signal the end of a movement. What devices to we use?
This got me to thinking about the scroll bars for iTunes, YouTube, Quicktime, and other ways we most typically listen to recordings these days. The scroll bar lets me know where we are in the track, greatly influencing how I perceive an event I've just heard. In fact, I now find the lack of scroll bars at live concerts makes me a bit anxious (just a bit however, I still enjoy live music much more than recorded).
This raises some questions:
1. Have scroll bars affected your perception of musical form? How?
2. Is that change in how we perceive music a negative? A positive? Just different?
3. If there is a new-found dependence of scroll bars, should live presenters address this need?

Worst online booking experience ever I booked this hotel through the website, and the website has charged my card for the deposit and thus I received the confirmation email. However one day later I got an email from the hotel saying that my room isn't confirmed and requested my FULL CARD DETAILS over email, I refused because of obvious security reasons, and our booking got cancelled and I wasn't even notified. I ended up having to go into another hotel when I arrived in Lisbon at 11pm at night.

With winter temperatures expected to return to normal following last year's mild season, Massachusetts residents who warm their homes with oil can expect to spend a record amount in the next six months, according to a forecast released by the federal government Wednesday.
The combination of high prices — averaging $3.80 a gallon this season — and colder weather will drive fuel bills for heating oil consumers to around $2,500, on average, this winter, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That's more than any previous winter on record, and roughly $400 more than consumers spent last season.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was torn trying to decide between all the different designs. I finally settled on this one in the darker tones for a fall wedding. They are absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend getting the pearlized feature. It gives it that extra bit of "fancy" for being a more informal invitation. The designer even helped me add my parent's names to this invitation when I thought there wouldn't be any room."
"Unique look of chalk on black can be perfect for certain wedding themes. The contrast of color (we chose plum/purple) is stunning and adds dimension to invitation's appearance. Whimsical swirl to font matches the product's design, but it may be harder to some people to read. Prompt delivery was impressive!"
"I fell in the love with the design when I saw it online, and after receiving a sample - I knew it was the one I wanted! The paper is very elegant and feels expensive! I love this romantic autumn card!"
"Loved the fall branch pattern simplicity and elegance. Used Azalea color for wedding invitations, response and enclosure cards. Used majestic and charcoal for menu and thank you cards to coordinate with fall wedding reception plum colors. Very pleased with results!"
"I changed the layout and wording of the invite and the changes were made without any issues. I was provided with a proof once the changes were made to ensure I was happy before the invites were printed. I cannot be happier with the end result! Thanks so much wedding paper divas!!!!"

Mine-Scarred Lands Initiative Tool Kit: Involving the Larger Community
Tool Kit Links
Many of the MSL Initiative communities found that it was advantageous to inform and involve the broader community in their revitalization projects. This not only helped to build community support for projects, it also produced new ideas and minimized the potential for conflict and delays. Some considerations learned through the projects include:
Ensure that all stakeholder issues and groups are identified early in the project
Some MSL communities enlisted the help of facilitation experts in this effort. Learn more about facilitation experts in the Using Outside Assistance with Project Planning and Coordination section.
Provide clear and factual information about the project on a predictable and consistent basis
Make use of existing communication channels in addition to developing new ones
For example, some MSL communities provided an update of the project at other organizations meetings or added a written update within a community newsletter.
Use a variety of outreach tools and mechanisms to provide information about the project
Some project teams: wrote fact sheets, newsletters, press releases, and issue papers; created Web sites; gave presentations and briefings; and held focus groups and public meetings.
Identify opportunities for public input associated with project milestones
Project teams learned that it is important to be clear about the kind of information they needed from their community, how they hoped to get it, and what they intended to do with it. They reported back to the community to describe how their feedback was used and how it influenced the project plan or decision. Be open and transparent in making decisions.

Mack Lewis wanted to save them all.
All those kids with hard eyes who grew up poor and fatherless and heard the call of the street corner and easy money — those were the ones he thought boxing could save.
That's what folks will remember most when they hold a public viewing Thursday for the legendary trainer and manager, who died Friday at the age of 92.
"His duty was to take the guys in the neighborhood and make them better people," Lewis' nephew, Elmer Johnson, said.
And he did that for generations of young fighters in East Baltimore, taught them discipline and values, the importance of hard work and a good education.
Mack Lewis saved the terrific boxer Vincent Pettway, that's for sure.
Pettway was just 8, living on 43rd Street and Wrenwood Avenue when a neighborhood bully grabbed one of his games and ran.
"I stood behind a telephone poll with a pipe and waited for the guy," Pettway recalled.
Luckily a neighbor spotted the young Pettway before he could crack the other kid's skull.
"My neighbor said: 'With an attitude like that, you need to channel it into something positive,'" Pettway said. "He said I was either going to jail or I was going to be dead on the streets.
"I thought: 'Whatever. I'm still gonna bust him in the head.' "
But he didn't. Instead he agreed to accompany the neighbor to Lewis' gym the next day.
It took about five seconds for Pettway to figure out Lewis was a man who commanded respect.
You addressed him as "Mr. Mack" or "Sir.' Or else you didn't address him at all.
"Do you think you can fight?" Lewis asked.
"Yes, sir," Pettway said.
"OK," Lewis said to a helper, "get him ready."
"They got me a little [protective] cup, a headgear and some gloves," Pettway said, "and I was on my way."
Mack Lewis offered troubled kids a way out through boxing

Shop Eva's Closet
Well, the time has come.
As many of you know, Eva has accumulated quite a wardrobe for her tiny age. And since we found out that our second child is a boy, we have decided that it's time to let go of some of her clothes that have been sitting in storage boxes.
Rather than selling them through eBay or Instagram, I've set up a Goodsie store — Happiness is Eva's Closet — for easier shopping. All items are payable through PayPal and unfortunately due to the cost of shipping, I can only offer these items within Australia. If you are from overseas and desperately want to purchase something, please email me — firstname.lastname@example.com — and I can quote you international shipping costs.
While Eva has a plethora of clothes, I'm only selling those items that are in very good to excellent condition. All prices are listed in Australian Dollars and reflect the quality, condition and brand of each piece. For those in Australia, I have a range of American brands, many of which are unavailable in Australia — Misha Lulu, Janie and Jack, Crewcuts, Baby Gap, Guess Jeans, Saltwater Sandals, Roxy, Ralph Lauren etc — as well as a number of Australian brands including Country Road, Sooki Baby, Tutu Du Monde, Bardot Jnr and Jack and Milly.
If you have any questions you can email me — email@example.com — or contact me through Facebook. Happy Shopping!

Dreams Underfoot: A Newford Collection (original 1993; edition 2003)
by Charles de Lint
Work details
Dreams Underfoot: The Newford Collection by Charles de Lint (1993)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I only made it about a third of the way through Dreams Underfoot. It wasn't bad, but I just didn't get into it. The writing was good and lyrical and the stories were well-constructed. The world Charles de Lint creates is unique and creative and he draws interesting characters. But I wasn't captivated by it, and when I wasn't reading I didn't feel particularly drawn to pick it up again. I think part of the issue may be that I am just not a short story person. I like novels that I can get completely lost in. With short stories, just when I'm starting to feel connected to the characters, it's over. Additionally, I didn't find much I could relate to in the world de Lint created, and I began to get a little tired of the characters all being of the urban bohemian sort, which is very different from my own experience of life. So all in all, I decided not to continue reading it. However, I know many people love Charles de Lint, so I can't really say that I do or do not recommend Dreams Underfoot. It just wasn't for me.
Great fantasy mixed with the seedy side of life, interconnected with some of the same characters throughout. Totally enjoyed.
A bunch of short stories that might be a bunch of stories and might sort of be a novel, depending on how many you read. I recommend that you try at least a few, if you are at all interested in fairy tales, urban legends, or just getting by in the world. The retelling of "The Little Mermaid" is the best take on the story I've ever come across.
I'm not a fan of short stories, which makes the short story books that I like all the more overwhelming to me. I've bought and loaned away so many copies of this book I can't keep track of them all. Just sitting down to write this review has me feeling a parrot's beak pressing out from behind my sternum... completely haunting.
"Every time it rains a ghost comes walking."
Dreams Underfoot introduced readers to de Lint's fictional city of Newford. Magic is on the streets of Newford if you just know where to look for it. It's usually in the most unexpected places.
Man, I love the Newford books. This book started my re-read of them all in order. They aren't really a series, so I've skipped around, reading them as I find them, but I'm curious to see my favorite characters grow in a more natural progression.
I really don't remember what order I read these in initially, but this was definitely one of the first. There are some true gems in here.
I'm going to pull most of this review straight from my status updates.
Uncle Dobbin's Parrot Fair--"Jilly, Christy, Professor Dapple, Goon, and even a crow (not a Crow Girl, mind you, but a crow nevertheless)--I don't love this first story but de Lint laid one hell of a foundation for Newford here."
The Stone Drum--"Liked Stone Drum, although it reminded me how curious I am about the Kelledys. I wonder if there is a book about them that I haven't read yet? Would be nice to know their backstory in full. And Goon's a skookin. I've been thinking of him as a goblin because I couldn't remember the right name."
Timeskip--"Starting Timeskip! I remember it as my favorite of de Lint's stories. I hope it holds up. With an opening sentence of "Every time it rains a ghost comes walking," it is off to the perfect start....Such a perfect, bittersweet story. So important to "Geordie, me lad"'s story arc. Love. It."
"Freewheeling is too sad for me. I probably shouldn't see it that way but I do."
That Explains Poland--"A fun yet thoughtful story. It is better to keep the magic of some experiences to yourself."
"Romano Drum--The Romany story was nothing new."
"The Sacred Fire was super-creepy! I'm regretting reading it before bed! It is interesting how the idea behind this story fully manifested itself in The Onion Girl."
"Winter Was Hard is another of my favorite stories. I love the gemmin. It's another bittersweet story, but when I finished, I had to just sit there for a few minutes and enjoy what it made me feel."
And I stopped my updates there. I'll do what I can from memory now.
Pity the Monsters--Verrry creepy. These two are definitely a pair of monsters. Yet I did pity one of them at least. The more monstrous one. Makes you wonder who the real monster is.
Ghosts of Wind and Shadow--More of the Kelledys! I really had forgotten how much I like them. The dangers of putting children in convenient "boxes" and refusing to see the magic in the world. More about the magic found in music.
The Conjure Man--I love the idea behind this one. A tree that grows as people share their stories with it.
Small Deaths--I don't remember this one as well. It's not a standout by any means. It's something about the light inside us and how the choices we make can lead to "small deaths." You know, those choices that we all make that start us down the wrong path.
The Moon is Drowning While I Sleep--Another old favorite! I love Sophie and her alternate reality. This one has a very classic fairy tale feel.
In the House of My Enemy--A difficult story about child abuse. Gives some big insight into the histories of some favorite characters.
But For the Grace Go I--I like Margaret and Tommy and their pack of dogs. A reminder that we can always choose to turn our life around.
Bridges--I don't like this one much either. It's a little dark, but ultimately it is about hope.
Our Lady of the Harbor--Basically a modern re-telling of The Little Mermaid.
Paperjack--Gives some closure to "Timeskip." Paperjack himself reminds me of John Coffey from The Green Mile.
Tallulah--Christy's first real story. No wonder I always think of him as being melancholy. About the way the very nature of a city can change with its people.
This collection is just a fantastic introduction to Newford. It reminded me why I fell in love with these books in the first place.

Welcome to Newford. . . .
Welcome to the music clubs, the waterfront, the alleyways where ancient myths and magic spill into the modern world. Come meet Jilly, painting wonders in the rough city streets; and Geordie, playing fiddle while he dreams of a ghost; and the Angel of Grasso Street gathering the fey and the wild and the poor and the lost. Gemmins live in abandoned cars and skells traverse the tunnels below, while mermaids swim in the grey harbor waters and fill the cold night with their song.
Like Mark Helprin's A Winter's Tale and John Crowley's Little, Big, Dreams Underfoot is a must-read book not only for fans of urban fantasy but for all who seek magic in everyday life.

Kevin Roy Awarded USHL Player of the Year
Friday May 25, 2012

Lincoln Stars forward completes record-breaking season in USHL
The United States Hockey League today announced that Lincoln Stars forward Kevin Roy has been selected as the 2011-12 USHL Player of the Year as determined by a vote of USHL coaches and general managers.
It was a record-breaking season for Roy as he led the USHL in scoring with 104 points (54g, 50a) playing in all but one of the 60 regular season games. His point total was the most in the USHL Tier 1 era (2002-present) and the most by a player in over two decades as John Young scored 107 points (43g, 64a) in 47 games during the 1988-89 season for the St. Paul Vulcans.
Roy was the first player in USHL Tier 1 era history to score 50 goals when he accomplished that feat on April 6th, 2012 scoring the game-winner in the 4-1 victory over the Tri-City Storm. He became the first USHL player to reach the 50-goal mark since the 1993-94 season when Mark Mowers (51) of the Dubuque Fighting Saints and Jason Blake (50) of the Waterloo Black Hawks both reached that mark. Roy finished the season with 54 goals, the most in the USHL since Mark Karpen scored 54 during the 1988-89 season for the North Iowa Huskies.
Roy, who turned 19 earlier this week, led the Lincoln Stars to a 38-18-4 record (80 points) and a first-place finish in the USHL Western Conference. The 38 wins were the most for the Stars in the past decade. Roy also led the League with a plus-44 rating, the second highest mark in USHL Tier 1 history. He finished tops in power play points with 28 (14g, 14a), first in shots (305), and tied for second in game-winning goals (7). The forward had a USHL season high 15-game point streak from February 29th to April 13th in which he produced 31 points (16g, 15a) and led the Stars to an 11-4-0 record over that span.
"For the second time this week, we have to try to find the words to describe Kevin's outstanding play this year," said USHL President and Commissioner Skip Prince. "This award annually goes not just to the League's top scorer, or its top defender, but the player who was the single greatest difference maker for his team. Kevin's body of work throughout the 2011-12 season, and the playoffs, was unmatched. Congratulations on behalf of the entire USHL to one of its great young stars."
In the playoffs, Roy had a point in all but one of his team's eight games as he led the Stars with 10 points (7g, 3a) before being eliminated in the Western Conference Final series by the Waterloo Black Hawks.
Roy will begin his college hockey career next season at Brown University. He is now preparing for the 2012 NHL Draft as he is one of the top North American prospects as rated by NHL Central Scouting. Roy will take part in the NHL Draft Combine from May 28th-June 2nd as one of 105 top players to be evaluated by NHL teams.
The native of Lac Beauport, Quebec was named USHL Forward of the Year earlier in the week. He is the fourth player in Lincoln Stars history to be named USHL Player of the Year, joining Jason Gregoire (2007-08), Ryan Potulny (2002-03), and Chris Fournier (2000-01). All three of those players also earned USHL Forward of the Year in those seasons.

Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the USHL celebrates its 10th season as the nation's only Tier I junior hockey league in 2011-12. With 28 picks during the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, 13 NHL draftees on its rosters this season, and over 250 players already committed to NCAA Division I schools this season, the USHL is emerging as the world's foremost producer of junior hockey talent.

Technical Computing: Past, Present, Future
Guest Presentation: Daniel A. Reed, Ph.D.
In science and engineering, a tsunami of new experimental and computational data and a suite of increasingly ubiquitous sensors pose vexing problems in data analysis, transport, visualization and collaboration. Supercomputers of unprecedented scale now allow us to model phenomena with a resolution heretofore unimaginable. of Cloud computing and "big data," together with our experiences with clusters and grids, are extending our notions of computational science and engineering, bringing technical, political and economic challenges.
What are the software structures and capabilities that best exploit these capabilities and economics while providing application compatibility and community continuity? What are the appropriate roles of public clouds relative to local computing systems, private clouds and grids? How can we best exploit elasticity for peak demand? How do we optimize performance and reliability? How do we provide privacy and security? How do we balance traditional HPC investments against distributed systems and big data opportunities and avoid past research infrastructure pitfalls? How do we integrate the emerging Internet of Things and ubiquitous sensors for multidisciplinary fusion, while also managing security and privacy?
Daniel A. Reed is Vice President for Research and Economic Development and University Chair in Computational Science and Bioinformatics and Professor of Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Medicine at the University of Iowa.
Previously, he was Corporate Vice President for Technology Policy and Extreme Computing at Microsoft where he helped shape the company's long-term vision for technology innovations in cloud computing and associated policy engagement with governments and institutions around the world.
Before joining Microsoft, he was the Chancellor's Eminent Professor at UNC Chapel Hill and Director of the Renaissance Computing Institute and the Chancellor's Senior Advisor for Strategy and Innovation for UNC Chapel Hill. Prior to that, he was Gutgsell Professor and Head of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign and Director of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.
He was also one of the principal investigators and chief architect for the NSF TeraGrid. He received his PhD in computer science in 1983 from Purdue University. Dr. Reed served as a member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee.

Cramer Quick Take: Not Biting on McDonald's
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- After an earnings miss on Monday morning by McDonald's (MCD), TheStreet's Jim Cramer and Debra Borchardt discussed what's wrong with the king of fast food.
While the company did report in-line revenue results, it missed on the bottom line by 2 cents. That added to the recent string of disappointments, with McDonald's missing three of the past four estimates going into today's report.
The company blamed higher gas prices at the pump, but Cramer pointed out that Yum! Brands (YUM) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) seemed to be doing fine, despite gasoline prices.
He added that perhaps consumers are really starting to shift their focus toward fresh and healthy foods, enabling companies like Panera Bread Company (PNRA) and Whole Foods Market (WFM) to continue to grow in popularity.Although he said that he thinks CEO Don Thompson is doing a good job, the numbers haven't been "dazzling" like they used to be in the past. Cramer added that the stock will be headed to $90 per share in a hurry if investors continue to see these kinds of results. He also said that he doesn't expect McDonald's to make a move into the fast-casual industry, saying that it had already spun off Chipotle, but that offering food with integrity would help. However, that would be hard to do without compromising prices. While he'd love to recommend the stock because it's a great company, Cramer said that he can't at the current price. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

This is our personal database for everything related to our current RP! I'll be updating this as often as I can, so if you need to catch up or re-read things, be sure to check in here every once in a while.
As always, our OOC post for fellow RPers that need a canon point for our characters can be found here, as well as one that lists our methods.
Setting: Thor/Avengers Marvelverse (AU)
Arc I: The Fight and Fate
- -Thor establishes his Tumblr as an attempt to understand Midgardian culture, Loki is quick to follow.
- -Tony Stark and Thor cross paths for the first time and bond over all the issues they have with their dads kicking them to the curb.
- -Thor admits he's a god that's been sent to time-out, but is quickly distracted by the news of his father's 'death'.
- -Loki is outed as a figure skater.
- -Thor is both bothered and perplexed by his brother's staggering popularity. He chalks it up to sorcery. For once, Loki's honest about having done nothing wrong, but he still takes the opportunity to use his new Midgardian friends as pawns. Thor is not amused.
- -Tony Stark trolls the god of trolling.
- -Loki confesses that he was the one responsible for alerting the guard, and uses it as an opportunity to make his brother feel worse.
- -Thor discovers Kanye West.
- -Loki also gives Thor the terrible news that he was the one responsible for leading the Frost Giants into Asgard. That bad news only gets worse when he adds on the truth of his frigid heritage.
- -A few days pass, Thor is still angry. He feels restless and demands to see Loki if only to satisfy his concerns for the safety of Asgard, considering it rests within his brother's hands.
- -Darcy sets up her Tumblr account and chats with both Thor and Loki.
- -Frigga also finds her way into the world wide web and catches up with her sons.
- -Steve Rogers joins the crew, though a slip in time seems to have torn him from the future in a case of cruel irony. He catches up with Tony Stark, but finds that Thor has no idea who he is yet— and not only that, is mortal, of all things.
- -Loki finally agrees to speak with Thor in person. They share a brief, coffee soaked conversation that ends with a good amount of angst. Loki nearly sheds man-tears, but flees before that happens.
- -Thor and Loki's friendship is summarized with a gif of an unhappy fish.
- -Jane creates her own Tumblr page. Loki is not happy about it.
- -Thor draws a picture to show off his artistic talents. Loki does one better.
- -Loki fusses at Frigga, his fragile mental state beginning to crack beneath the pressure of running a kingdom, dealing with his true bloodline, and all the little insecurities that piece together to form him completely.
- -Pepper shows up to keep Tony Stark in line.
- -Tony agrees to let someone have his suit in the event that he dies— as long as they're willing to put up a fight for it.
- -Volstagg gives Loki a reason to scowl harder.
- -Sif simultaneously complains— albeit politely— that she has issues with not being allowed to head to Midgard.
- -Erik shows up to be the paternal party pooper.
- -Thor decides to be more zen for the sake of Loki's sanity.
- -….It doesn't work. Thor's followers shower him with kindness and attention, and Loki's temper skyrockets to dangerous levels of jealousy.
- -All hell breaks loose when Thor says the worst possible thing not once, but twice, despite good intentions. Loki snaps.
- -Miserable for having failed his brother, Thor takes a break from the internet to go get some ice cream with Darcy. Their trip is pleasant enough until they're visited by a malicious god of mischief with murder on his mind. Darcy is turned into a living popsicle, and Thor is left bleeding on the pavement, barely alive.
- -Loki finds no joy in the near-death of his brother, allowing Jane to spirit Thor away to the hospital and save his life. He himself returns to Asgard and laments his own existence. If Asgardians had Linkin Park albums, he would play himself to sleep listening to it…
- -Thor awakens in the hospital— his most hated enemy. He complains about it, unable to get up and walk away. Loki says nothing, but secretly, deep down, is relieved to know his brother lives.
- -Loki also takes the opportunity to creep on Darcy.
- -Thor nearly slips up when talking about Loki to Erik.
- -Tony Stark decides it's time to stop taunting the god of mischief and check on his brother, Thor, while he's in the hospital.
- -The best image ever is born.
- -Fandral and Thor take jabs at one another for fun. (And then apologize because that is what bros do.)
- -Thor's fractured jaw is wired shut. Many things in the hospital room are broken during this process.
- -Loki breaks the internet with his own spectacular quote.
- -Loki and Sif have a heart-to-heart. And by 'heart-to-heart' I mean that Loki is bitter and rageful, and does nothing but toy with Sif's emotions. He can't seem to forget about the past they shared, and how he feels he was simply tolerated by his so-called 'friends'.
- -Steve Captain A-Mom-ica heads in to pay his friend a visit. The twist in time means he must reintroduce himself to one of his closest allies, while Thor has no idea who he is or why he should be trusted. Jane is not so keen on the idea, either.
- -Frigga tries to reach out to her son. Loki cares deeply for her, but his heart is still set on a dark path. Sadfaces everywhere.
Arc II: Heights of Shame
- -Steve uses his free time to revisit a few old memories.
- -Erik tries desperately to moderate the still quarreling Asgardian brothers. They never shut up.
- -Loki edges into creeper country once more, much to Thor's dismay.
- -The situation escalates when Loki demands that Thor come clean about the exact reasons for his exile, and what the consequences could be for both their worlds.
- -Erik has Tumblr storytime, where he tells the Norse creation myth.
- -The universe is also definitely not ready for double-fandral.
- -This just in, Tony Stark still hates this thing.
- -Loki makes an easy-to-read checklist to see if you are annoying him.
- -Tumblr decides that in honor of Thor's jaw being wired shut (and therefore unable to chew any solid food) that it will mock him for two days straight with everything and anything delicious ever. Loki, pleased by this, decides to toy with his loyal fans by offering them free hugs. This, of course, backfires for him when he realizes how dedicated they are to redeeming those vouchers.
- -A while later, Thor is due to be released from the hospital. What little Asgardian strength that was left to him (you know, the teeny bit that helped him survive being hit by a truck moving at full speed) has also made his wounds mend more quickly than usual.
- -Tony tries to soothe Tumblr after the layout change agitates pretty much everyone.
- -Loki hears of Thor's imminent release, which coupled with his mother's desire for grandchildren and a number of images of himself as a slightly bluer person, does much to send him into snark-mode.
- -Lady Frigga drowns her sorrows in booze. The next day leaves her with a hard, hard hangover.
- -At the same time, Thor is busy doing some heavy, heavy drinking with Erik.
- -Steve, worried about the trouble they are getting into, tries to locate them. It doesn't go well, but eventually he finds them and takes away their internet connection. (And beer. And vodka. And shots.)
- -Steve also complains to Tony for his lack of help. He does, however, decide to stay in New Mexico to make sure that Thor survives long enough to reclaim his power. It probably wouldn't work out well for the Avengers if he was killed off by his brother (or anything else) after all, and since he's busy acting like an idiot frat boy, he needs some looking after.
- -Loki has had enough. He writes a letter to inform his subjects and family of a situation in Svartalfheim, stating that he's going to take a little trip over to see the Dark Elves and keep them from buddying up with the Jotuns.
- -Thor feels guilty for the peril his home now faces. Erik and Steve both offer their company, and Thor takes a rain check in favor of some solitary star-gazing. Loki shows up unexpectedly, and the brothers vent their frustrations to one another. A short walk and a slightly eerie stop later, Loki backstabs Thor out of— surprise— envy.
Loki locks his brother in a cage of solid ice and takes off under the glamor of Thor himself, to try and see what it's like to be loved for a change.
(Temporary link as Livejournal is not cooperating at the moment to make one solid post.)
- -Loki returns to town as Thor, meeting up with Selvig for a beer and some friendly banter.
That is all for now, but I'll finish cleaning up the links and LJ posts and make a smaller, more concise version as well in case you don't like skimming through faffery. :3

An Academy Centennial Salute to Joseph L. Mankiewicz
An evening celebrating the gift of the Joseph L. Mankiewicz Papers to the Academy's Margaret Herrick Library.
Hosted by film critic Ben Mankiewicz.
Featuring a 50th anniversary screening of "Suddenly, Last Summer" (1959).

Legendary writer, director and producer Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993) earned nine Academy Award® nominations from 1931 to 1972, taking home Oscars® for the screenplay and direction of both "A Letter to Three Wives" (1949) and "All about Eve" (1950).

This conversation was followed by a 50th anniversary screening of a restored print of the fascinating psychological drama "Suddenly, Last Summer," adapted by Gore Vidal and Tennessee Williams from Williams's play.
Katharine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor both earned Best Actress nominations for their portrayals of a fierce Southern matriarch (Hepburn) and her disturbed young niece (Taylor), whose different reactions to a traumatic death in the family present neurosurgeon Montgomery Clift with a horrifying dilemma.

A publication that focuses on site selection and facility planning has recognized West Virginia recently.
Area Development has given the Mountain State a 2013 Silver Shovel award, which the publication gives to recognize states with significant success in economic development and job creation.
This is the first time West Virginia has received the award, which has been given out for the past eight years.
"This award is a testament to the many pro-growth reforms – from workers' compensation reform to the Horizontal Well Act – that our state has undertaken to encourage new and existing businesses to expand their roots in our state," Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said in a news release.
Area Development asked every state to submit information about its projects that began in 2012, and the awards were given to the states with the highest weighted scores based on the number of high value-added jobs per capita, amount of investment, number of new facilities and industry diversity.
"The states receiving 2013 Shovel Awards deserve special recognition for their efforts to attract new businesses and to help their existing corporate citizens to expand their businesses," Area Development Editor Geraldine Gambale said in a news release. "They have managed to thrive and emerge from the recession as economic leaders."
States competed against other states of comparable population size. West Virginia was in the fewer than 3 million population category.
A total of 19 states were given gold and silver shovels, with Texas, Georgia, Alabama and Kansas claiming the 2013 Gold Shovel Awards. The states joining West Virginia in its category for the Silver Shovel Award were Mississippi, North Dakota and Utah.

MILAN -- Village treasurer Sarah Bohnsack reported an improving financial picture at Tuesday's board meeting.
Milan operated at a deficit the previous two years, she said, but is finally generating enough revenue to maintain a balance. The revenue increase is attributed to municipal utility and telecommunication taxes passed in February 2011.
"Once again, I am extremely proud of department heads and how they maintained within budgets," said Ms. Bohnsack.
Also on Tuesday, board members discussed adding a parking sign at the entrance of the new bike path parking lot behind Subway and E-Z Livin' Sports Center at 231 1st Ave. W. Not enough peopleare using the parking lot to access the extended bike path, said Mayor Duane Dawson, and he said he thinks a sign notifying people of the available parking will increase the trails' use.
"It's a great spot for eagle viewing," he said. "You can see them fishing."

An unreleased Black Eyed Peas track that's said to be called "Grapes" is doing the rounds. It's unclear when it was recorded. Musically, there's an obvious Middle Eastern influence running throughout the song, and it's got more of a hip hop vibe than the material on the electro-pop The E.N.D. Lyrically, "Grapes" kind of make "My Humps" sound like a children's nursery rhyme. For instance: "Lookie, lookie, lookie what I got right here/ Nipple on my cookie, bet you want to, dear."
Always keeping it classy, Fergie! Have a listen to "Grapes" below the jump.
Well, it's certainly no "Meet Me Halfway." In fact, this one might be best left unreleased.
The Peas kick off their world tour next week on Thursday, February 4, at Atlanta's Philips Arena. Ahead of that, they'll be hitting up the Grammy Awards, where they're nominated in six categories.
Will they go home winners, or will there be some sour, uh, grapes come Monday morning?

The future for manufacturing in Indiana looks bright. Per the Northwest Indiana Times, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 2.8 percent employment gain over 2013 as Indiana gained 13,700 factory jobs over the past 12 months, edging out second-place Texas by 700 jobs. Despite the recent growth, however, Indiana has still not returned to its pre-recession levels: With approximately 502,800 manufacturing jobs, we are still short by 10,000 jobs as the pre-recession high was 513,200.

Sometimes it's helpful to take a step back and look at the big picture. We've come a long way since the recession hit the United States in late 2007. And let's not forget that we were far from the only country affected. The New York Times provides a good snapshot of how the global manufacturing landscape looks today as compared to pre-recession levels in "Global Industrial Production Shakes Off 2007 Doldrums."

KENOSHA, WI (WTAQ) - Prosecutors said a Milwaukee man in clown makeup was drunk, while dangling a child from a highway overpass after he left a Halloween party in Kenosha.
33-year-old Antonio Brown is charged with two counts each of felony child abuse and reckless endangerment.
A judge ordered a $10,000 cash bond. Brown is due back in Kenosha County Circuit Court next Tuesday for a preliminary hearing.
A witness told authorities that Brown was dragging a pair of screaming youngsters into a wooded area early Sunday. Investigators said Brown forced the youngsters -- ages 8 and 13 -- to drink alcohol.
The kids cried and tried running away. Prosecutors said Brown the grabbed the 13-year-old and hung him upside down from the overpass -- and later, he allegedly dangled the younger children from a railroad car.
Officials said Brown was a boyfriend of the children's mother.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) With protests planned for Sunday's Packer game, N-F-L Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league should pay attention to those offended by the Washington Redskins' nickname. He told a D-C radio station yesterday that the N-F-L needs to listen if it's offending people -- and to make sure quote, "we're doing the right things to try to address that."
The Redskins are playing the Packers in Green Bay this weekend, and the Wisconsin Indian Education Association plans to have protestors at the game. It's also holding a forum on the subject tomorrow at U-W Green Bay.
Goodell says a decision to change the Redskins' name is up to team owner Dan Snyder, who has vowed never to the change it.
Earlier this year, 10 members of Congress asked that the Redskins' name and Indian logo be dropped. At the time, Goodell said the 'Skins name was a unifying force that quote, "stands for strength, courage, pride, and respect." The commissioner's comments yesterday took a step back on that position. Now, Goodell says the league should at least listen to concerns like those from the Wisconsin group -- which says the Redskin has long been considered a derogatory term and a race-based stereotype.

A lot of Americans are throwing away their days off, a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll has found.
The poll found that only 57 percent of U.S. workers use up all of the days they're entitled to, compared with 89 percent of workers in France.
So what's the reasoning behind this? In many parts of the world, paid time off is mandated by law.
Germany is among more than two dozen industrialized countries - from Australia to Slovenia to Japan - that require employers to offer four weeks or more of paid vacation to their workers, according to a 2009 study by the human resources consulting company Mercer.
Finland, Brazil and France are the champs, guaranteeing six weeks of time off.
We talked to Jennifer Fraone from Boston College's Center for Work and Family about the results of the poll. Watch her interview in the above video.

Rick Perry Drops Out of Presidential Race, Endorses Newt Gingrichby Free Britney at . Comments
Texas Governor Rick Perry will drop out of the GOP presidential race and endorse rival Newt Gingrich for the Republican nomination, according to news reports.
He will make the announcement shortly in North Charleston, S.C.
The move by Perry to end his flailing campaign was inevitable, yet came a few days sooner than expected, with the South Carolina primary looming this Saturday.
Perry hoped the state's evangelicals and social conservatives would revive his candidacy. Instead, it was Newt who surged after Monday's Republican debate.
Rick Perry was mired in the low single digits in the Palmetto State and nationally, while a revitalized Gingrich has shown an upward trajectory in recent polls.
Perry weighed dropping out of the race after a dismal finish in the Iowa caucuses, only to decide to stay in and make one last stand in South Carolina.
It was not to be. In hindsight, a campaign that began with such promise actually peaked on its first day, after which Perry sank like a stone in popularity.
Clearly not ready for prime time, Perry's substance never equaled his swagger. Amazing debate gaffes came early and often. Other candidates surged past him.
By dropping out now, he may provide a modest boost to Gingrich, who's trying to present himself as a more ideologically potent conservative than Mitt Romney.
Perry said in officially suspending his candidacy today:"I have come to the conclusion that there is no viable path forward for me in the 2012 campaign. I know when it's time to make a strategic retreat."
Perry said 2012 has "never been about the candidates" but about replacing President Obama "with a conservative leader who will bring about real change."
He called Gingrich "a conservative visionary who can transform our country."
Perhaps in reference to the renewed criticism by Marianne Gingrich of her ex-husband, Perry said, "Newt is not perfect, but who among us is."
"The fact is, there is forgiveness for those who seek God, and I believe in the power of redemption. I have no question Newt has the heart of a conservative reformer."
The candidates debate again tonight in South Carolina. Look for Romney to come out hard after Newt, who will try to build on his momentum in the last 72 hours.
Ron Paul and Rick Santorum remain factors in the race as well.
Anyhow hey yez this is imani woods who iz dating the game and i would like to say that the whole ashley dupree and kim imposible thing has been wrong anyhow jenny ive worked with the needy kids of america for dominicanas and its been good i told them on how to stay in school and bein more lady like and house likely but anyhow to rihanna and kim imposible i feel az though they are a neglect to kids anyhow az for me ive worked for acs for 3 yrs n a kids organization and it really means alot for the people:)!!

@67- I agree- Lots of Brainwashing. Me? I honestly pick who I have most in common with. I never was Brainwashed into believing the Government owed me something nor have I ever believed they would give me anything. Many people will vote against a party instead of for a party. This Country is so very Divided.
This is what I wanted to say. I live in Virginia. You seem to be a die hard Republican, so I'm sure you are familiar with the late Dr. Falwell. Here's what you didn't here in Texas. They disqualified alot of Liberty University votes saying they were brainwashed. We are the biblebelt and they preach Republican. However, no one was brainwashed. They bused their students for free to the polls. Democrats cried and every last damn vote in Norfolk-Richmond (predominantly black) counted. We are a democratic state. Now LU has outsmarted all and we should go back Republican. They now poll at their university. They also allow guns on their christian campus. I support and agree with it. Just saying. Will watch video....
I will stay away....jello shots have that effect. Your fine till you stand up, 12 shots later I could dance and had numerous phone numbers. Glad my friends there. =)
@67- I was hoping you would see it- only you could appreciate a warped since of Humor. I have never ever thought about being gay but I use to Drink MadDog 20/20- it was cheap but not worth it. Each nite I would Blackout and the next morning when I woke up- my Ass was killing me. Stay away from the MadDog- Just thought you'd want to know.
Reed, hahahahahaha, you crack me up. I'm not a Bush fanatic. I'm not gay either, I have a gay family member. I thought it was funny about the Elton John and for the right amount of money...maybe. I'm female, but have a friend (actually three) very similiar to your point of view. They want our state back to Republican. It may happen this year....fingers crossed.
Just for the record. Rick Perry has never been Gay- its all a Lie. I myself think it's wrong to be biased against queers. They shoud have as much Freedom as anyone. I don't personally know any but what they do behind closed doors is their Business as long as its not on a Street Corner or in front of Dogs. I am a big fan of Elton John. I have one of the only 5 vinyl copies of his 1st hit -"When your Blue Eyes look Deep into my Brown". Just because I like his Music does not mean I want to Screw him! Just for the record --I'm not saying I wouldn't screw him if the Money was right. Point is- Perry is a man of Standards and Butt Putty is not in his Night Stand.
@67- Neci needs Bullshit and maybe you do also. Drilling produces Jobs. Just so you understand. I never was a Bush Fan. Not even when he was our Govenor. Still- that doesn't make Obama right. I really don't give 2 SHITZ about the Color but I'll be Damned if I'm going to keep Neci in Pork Skins- Malt Liquor and Spinners- Not with my Taxes! She is living in an " Instant Gratification " World and nobody is buying that Race Card Shit anymore.
LMFAO!!!! Reed your a funny racists, but I get where your coming from with the race card. Not all Republicans are racists, but when your put in that box it pisses you off. GAS PRICES HAVE DOUBLED SINCE OBAMA TOOK OFFICE. So don't feed the BS about Bush @NECI. I don't care what color our presidents skin is, it is how they run our country. Republican candidates want to drill offshore reducing oil prices which will put money in YOUR pocket. Cut off foreign aid to give our country more money because Obama has our national debt at the highest ever. He had his chance and continues to make poor choices. Now we need to elect someone to cleanup his mess.

"I am a Jewish jihadi"
Interesting response to the "savage" poster in 49th Street station.
Haha. That's Marcia.
She runs 'Dialogue Projects' in NYC area - with focus on Middle East issues - participated by basically anyone who is willing to. Muslims, Christians, Jewish (of course) and all national backgrounds.
I think it's still - "anyone interested can join"
Here is their site, and if you are in the area and interested - you should try out.
It's fairly casual.
We identify issues & action projects that affect our lives in New York and our families in the Middle East. We cultivate a space where we choose to take a risk with each other, and the opportunity to practice: active and generous listening, reflection, Speaking from the "I" without attack, and acknowledgement.
We meet regularly and with commitment. We find we have differences and we also learn how to make spaces for each other, as the unique humans we are. Each of us inheriting a world view and narrative so different than the other.
Our ultimate goal is to move from personal empowerment to community empowerment, by enabling people to use dialogue skills to address areas of intergroup conflict.
