Fancy filling up just 10 times a year? That's what Volkswagen says is possible with the Golf BlueMotion, as it's theoretically capable of 970 miles between fill-ups.
At the root of those claims are VW's official figures of 88.3mpg fuel economy and CO2 emissions of 85g/km. The Toyota Auris Hybrid (74.3mpg and 87g/km) comes close to this, but no petrol or diesel car can match the Golf's efficiency.
The newcomer is only the third Golf BlueMotion – the 2007 original managed 62.8mpg and 119g/km of CO2, and the second 74.3mpg and 99g/km in 2009.
To continue this trend of ever-increasing efficiency, the latest BlueMotion has shaved 26kg from the running gear and 37kg from the body compared with its predecessor. The 1.6-litre diesel, meanwhile, now has reduced internal friction, a faster warm-up, exhaust-gas recirculation, a twin-stage oil pump and an electric water pump. The engine also features an oxidation catalyst, particulate filter and NOx storage catalyst.
The body has been made 10 per cent more slippery through the air than the standard car, with a 15mm lower ride height, a roof spoiler, a masked front grille, partially closed air inlets and under-floor panels. There are also low rolling-resistance tyres, longer gear ratios for the five-speed manual and battery regeneration.
Impressive fuel consumption figures are one thing, but if the car rides and drives horribly – as some eco-specials do – then no one will want it.
Climb into the BlueMotion and you'll find the high-quality Golf interior is unchanged. The engine starts with a bit of a clatter, but idles quietly enough. Plus, with the excellent stop-start system, it won't often be running when you're at a standstill.
Acceleration through the gears is brisk, with the car able to go from 0-62mph in a respectable 10.5 seconds. There's also comfortably enough torque to pull the car along from as low as 1,500rpm, although the engine has a noticeable boom between 1,600 and 2,000rpm.
There's a subtle vibration through the major controls at low speeds and, while that disappears at higher engine revs, you can hear and feel the vibration from the tyres at all speeds. It's not dreadfully unpleasant or hugely intrusive, but it's definitely there, which is an unusual sensation for this latest generation of Golf.
The gearbox is as easy to use as we've come to expect, and considering the longer gearing of the BlueMotion model, it's surprising how well it pulls in top gear. During an hour driving on the autobahn at an easy 85mph, we saw average fuel economy of 55mpg.
With accurate body control and well weighted and accurate steering, the BlueMotion handles crisply and rides comfortably. The mild regenerative braking system is barely noticeable, too, allowing you to confidently make the most of the brakes.

The navy was finding it difficult to sail, the air force had
clipped wings, and the army would struggle to take part in
combat, the 2007-08 Defence Force annual report reveals.
The report paints a picture of the New Zealand Defence Force
hamstrung by a lack of staff and poor equipment.
The army said while land forces were "partially" prepared for
low-level conflicts, the army was not equipped to meet higher
threat situations - "nevertheless, a company group response
was provided for Afghanistan".
"Deficiencies in command and control, firepower, and
compatible protection and mobility for combat service support
elements would impair effectiveness in conventional military
operations, and the more challenging peace support
operations," the report said.
The air force had "insufficient personnel" to meet air and
ground crew levels and it was only "partially prepared" for
complex maritime air operations.
The helicopter wing was also hit by crew shortages, which
limited its availability.
When there were crews, the helicopters were limited in what
they could do, and the performance of the Iroquois in bad
weather, at night and in hot and high conditions was
"unsatisfactory", the report said.
In the navy, few of the ships managed to get out to sea as
often as planned.
This was due to a lack of personnel and "equipment and
capability issues".
The navy also did not receive two expected offshore patrol
vessels and four inshore patrol vessels during the year in
Defence Force chief Lieutenant-general Jerry Mateparae said
in the report high standards had been achieved at home and
abroad as the services struggled to retain staff.
New equipment and new employment strategies would help with
the problems.
One of the main challenges was the high attrition rate - more
than 15% - and the loss of trained staff.
Defence Minister Phil Goff said forces worldwide faced a
major challenge to attract and retain staff.
The total number of personnel in the NZDF was at its highest
level in seven years and since 2005 the Government had
committed $4.6 billion in operational funding to develop
It had also injected $4 billion since 2002 to replace
outdated equipment in all three arms of the NZDF.
National Party defence spokesman Dr Wayne Mapp said the force
was operating under terms laid out in 1999 when there was
nothing like the tempo of sustained and diverse operations
there was now, largely as a result of 9/11.
"It's absolutely clear [the Defence Force is] under stress.
The Government don't seem to be changing required outputs in
line with actual commitments."

No shit. Trip Planner is fine and what's better? The bus tracker software.
It allows you to set an alarm for when the bus you want is a certain distance form your stop, al but eliminating guessing and waiting and all that. I set the alarm for a few blocks away and walk to my stop when it rings, never fails. Awesome!
@2 - I love Busview. It is the one thing that tempts me to get one of those electronical Internet gadgets you carry around with you.
Spot Bus uses Trip Planner info, so I do not see how someone would think it is superior.
I was expecting a map link, bus shelter info, bus route travel trivia, traffic conditions, nearby amenities, sidewalk walkability indexes, crime stats for my route... Now that would be something to boast about.
Not good! Personally, I find trip planner to be tedious. I don't ride the bus all that frequently, but when I do I generally use trip planner as I'm one of those people who gets anxious about not knowing exactly what bus I should catch at exactly what time. And as someone who isn't completely familiar with bus lines and stop locations, trip planner doesn't let me enter specific enough locations. For instance, last week I needed to ride the bus from downtown (near Pacific Place) to the UD (the VW dealership). I didn't know what bus route to look up, so I just typed these locations into trip planner. Not helpful. It came back with random locations from anywhere from Lakewood to Renton as to where I might be trying to go. Granted, I'm familiar with Seattle, so I am able to mess around with locations until I get what I'm looking for, but if I weren't, I could see trip planner being a nightmare. Having said that, when I typed "Pacific Place" to "Trader Joe's" into this new website, it took me straight to Metro's trip planner, asking me if a bunch of random places were the places I was talking about. Blech.
SpotBus has been around for years.
Big whip.
The Yahoo Widgets for Metro are pretty handy to have at work, though.
Hmmm... Re-reading what I wrote yesterday, I'm starting to wonder if I didn't oversell SpotBus a bit. It worked semi-magically for me the first few times I used it, but the more I play with it, the less awesome it seems.
Still, I'll stand by my claim that it's better than Metro's trip planner, which I find incredibly aggravating with it's astonishing powers to make no logical assumptions whatsoever.
I've had pretty good luck with Google Transit.
The pop-up thingies are no problem if you leave your stupid mouse alone. Just start typing, and when the list pops up, tab to the one you want, hit enter, tab to the next box. That took me four seconds to figure out.
However, the list of destinations is woeful. You really need a complete address, since that's what the actual database has in it, and what your results are going to be listed by. So if you don't know the address, or the cross street, you won't be able to understand the results, if for instance you don't know where precisely Thackeray Pl NE is.
If you have the psychic ability to determine which local landmarks may be listed, you might be OK. I see Wallingford QFC and Wallingfor-Wilmot Library on there; the latter hasn't been the correct name for the Wallingford branch for almost a decade now, since they moved, so your psychic ability will have to extend to reading the past as well. The QFC is good, because that's the kind of thing that sticks out in people's mental maps even if they don't shop there.
But the neighborhood links? Worthless. "Ballard" is huge.If I'm trying to get to that place on Market -- you know, that place -- a bus that drops me at 85th and 24th, or down by Fred Meyer, isn't going to be much help.
They need to get with the program and tie it to Google Maps. But even Google Maps is riddled with horrible data errors, especially their scraped business listings.
The solution is simple: make it illegal for a business to close without notifying all statewide transit authorities and Google first.
That's my favorite bus route service. Although it appears to be having a few technical difficulties. I dunno?
@8 has it right. google.com/transit rocks. We're one of the lucky cities that can use it. All the data of metro's site, plus Google's world-class UI.
I do like busmonster's (Thanks 11) route view. I don't know that Google Transit can do that, where you pick a route and see where it goes. (I don't think they have it, but they may have added it since I last looked.) I may have to play around with it a little.
mybus.org is handy, too. It'll give estimates of how late your bus is.
@2 - this is the only reason to get a cell phone, IMHO.
Matthew, the reason Google's data is bad isn't because businesses close, it's because they scrape the data from inaccurate sources. There are a TON of businesses whose pinpoints on the map are off by miles, because the database is wrong -- street name, city name, state. And it's extremely difficult to change it, since Google doesn't want you to contact them for any reason.
Not to mention the vast numbers of businesses that aren't in there at all, or where Google can't tell the difference between a shop and an office.
I do still use Google Maps every day. But check your answers.
Trip Planner? Yikes! tried to get from T-Town to Soundview Drive in Fed Way. Trip Planner brought me to downtown Seattle and then dropped me somewhere off the end of West Seattle. It WAS Soundview Dr. Just not the one I was looking for. And that was with a specific address. I'd double-check the planning if I was you (and I'm not)...
I like Google transit as well.
It knoew where gasworks was, but not "the ferry"
Buses show up on google maps too.
It's not working well for me. First, it put me right on to Metro Trip Planner. I put in Alki Beach (near where I live) and Seattle City Hall (near where I work) and it gives me the following message....
" Trip Planner Message #20003--No stops within walking distance of origin"
Huh? That's weird. What I really want is real time bus monitors at major bus stops (you know those cool tv monitors that tell you when the next #37 bus is coming)
Alki Beach is like five miles long. YOU know what you mean, but Metro doesn't.
In the future, when we are all wearing GPS tracking devices, we'll just ask "when's the next bus?" and a holographic map will display in space right in front of us. Unfortunately, while we're looking at the map our bus will roar by and cream us into a red, twitching pulp.
Metros Trip Planner frequently doesn't have addresses in it. I have to go to a map find a nearby street and enter a fake address on that street into Metro Trip Planner to get it to find a (series) of buses for me.
Always check it's results, it's not to be trusted either.
So far, the bus tracker has worked like a fucking charm for me. I get to sip an extra cup of coffee in my pad while waiting for my coach.

Climate Change Is An Existential Threat To Humanity, Just Don't Mention Protecting 'The Environment'
A recent study found that some conservatives would not choose an efficient lightbulb with an environmental message, even when they would choose the same bulb without the message. The Atlantic Cities details this cognitive dissonance:
The study then presented participants with a real-world choice: With a fixed amount of money in their wallet, respondents had to "buy" either an old-school light bulb or an efficient compact florescent bulb…. Both bulbs were labeled with basic hard data on their energy use…. When the bulbs cost the same, and even when the CFL cost more, conservatives and liberals were equally likely to buy the efficient bulb.
But slap a message on the CFL's packaging that says "Protect the Environment," and "we saw a significant drop-off in more politically moderates and conservatives choosing that option," said study author Dena Gromet, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business.
They chose the less-efficient option because the option they would ordinarily choose mentions the environmental benefit. Though some have found more success in making the argument for climate action and energy efficiency to conservatives in talking about preserving the "purity" of the natural world, focusing more on direct human impacts of air pollution and carbon pollution may be a better strategy.
Washington Monthly's Ryan Louis Cooper, who remixed Dave Roberts' TEDx Talk "Climate Change Is Simple," is at it again with a video making the case of why climate change is not an environmental issue.
Watch it:
No really, watch it.
He does a good job underlining the reality that while climate change does concern the environment, it concerns a lot more than that:
I'm not saying that climate change isn't a major threat to the current biosphere (it definitely is), nor am I saying that other species don't have moral worth, but the point is that there is not some kind of easy trade-off between humanity and nature. When we dammed Glen Canyon to create Lake Powell, it was a monstrous crime against all that is sacred, but we humans continued to live our lives largely without disruption. Climate change, on the other hand, is a direct, existential threat to the biosphere AND all of human civilization. It's just too big to fit into something like environmentalism.
The military gets it. The insurance industry gets it. Those dealing with global poverty get it. Climate change is not just an environmental issue, it is an existential issue for modern human civilization.

PS typo in first sentence (missing words). Please delete the first attempt to post this comment.
Yes climate change is an existential issue that far out ways other environmental concerns. On Monday I gave a lecture on environmental impacts and devoted 65% to climate change and 35% to everything else. But why can't we call it an "environmental problem" and still recognize a threat to the existence of modern civilization? Do we really need to avoid talking about both environmental issues and climate change because they both offend conservatives? I do agree that I am now less concerned about species extinction, toxic pollution, eutrophication and habitat destruction, because working on these issues gets us no where unless we address climate change.
He does a good job underlining the reality that while climate change does concern the environment, it concerns a lot more than that:
To me the environment is our life support system. It does not get bigger than that.
There seems to be conflation of big E Environmentalism and our environment. Some folk identify Environmentalism as people who camp in an old growth tree for a year to keep it from being cut down… not the water, air, plants and animals that they depend on to survive. It's an unconscious, emotional response for them, and you can't get through to their logical mind.
Why don't we call it what it is. It's a life support system. That way they can consider it belongs to them, not to some tiny fish or butterfly endangered by civilization.
As in, let them be selfish and anthropomorphic
watched the video
saying all the right things, telling it like it is
he drops the 'pearl harbor' thing…we can fix this if we roll up our sleeves and get to work
i banged my head on my keyboard in despair
Everything that followed Pearl Harbor was entirely dependent on digging up hydrocarbon fuel and setting fire to it, and using that heat to manufacture wartoys.
The allied powers won WW2 because the enemy ran out of gas first. I was that simple. it kicked off the consumer boom and the current phase of global warming
We cannot repeat that operation because there is not enough fuel left to run major wars or support major economies.
If the 'enemy' in Afghanistan or wherever had equal fuel resources for head on battles, the US economy would collapse in a matter of weeks. As it is, the US economy is collapsing anyway, trying to sustain a cheap energy infrastructure by using expensive energy, and burning fuel to keep warfactories open
The Pearl Harbor nonsense implies work, and work means energy consuming machines—which is what got us into this fine mess in the first place.
Hurricane Sandy is another nonsense reference. It caused $50bn in damage, that means we have to spend another $50bn plus to rebuild.
Pretty soon anything that nature knocks down is going to stay down, climate change or no climate change we wont have the energy to rebuild anything
Hate to tell you this, but Hurricane Sandy had no more to do with 'climate change' than did Hurricane Katrina…. NOTHING.
no problem then—it will cost nothing to rebuild
I dislike product labeling that exhorts me to do something that goes way beyond the product usage. I don't like politicization of products.
I'm fine with "Dispose of properly" or "Wear protective clothing" when those are relevant directions.
If the light bulb label had said "Protect the Flag" instead of "Protect the Environment," it would probably have raised the hackles of a different group of consumers!
Old Bauhaus saying: "Less is more." That could apply to labeling.
And at a recent talk "The Science Behind Sandy" Columbia Earth Institute scientist and Professor Adam Sobel indicated that conditions will be increasing the frequency of climate events like Super Storm Sandy.
There was a Tea-Partier funny clothes and all, who stood up and started asking questions on the path of typical delusions and in no uncertain terms he let her know that climate change was indeed very real.
Rob wrote: "Hate to tell you this, but Hurricane Sandy had no more to do with 'climate change' than did Hurricane Katrina…. NOTHING."
You are wrong on both counts. Global warming made both Katrina and Sandy FAR more damaging than they otherwise would have been.
We live on a globally warmed planet now, and there is no longer any such thing on Earth as weather that is not affected by global warming.
just be thankful that in all those places that climate change turns into desert, there will be more sand for ostriches to bury their heads in.
there's always a bright side for someone
Quite right Nell. The language and debate in the USA seems to have gotten screwed up because people saw themselves separate from, and above, their living home. They are now learning the hard way, ME
'The voice of the cuckoo was heard in the land'.
Lao Zi said it earlier.
I know a few conservatives who do not care about the political implications of what the bulb says, they just want to save the money. If the label does turn off conservatives, all the better, let them waste their money while the rest of us save money. More of the electric they waste will be generated by renewables anyway. conservatives are a dying breed, we can make them extinct faster by saying the truth, not by hiding it to appease them.
….and while AGW is an immediate crisis even solving that gets us nowhere unless we then solve our addiction to nonstop economic growth…
Neurologists are doing interesting work on this.
New product = Risk
Brains of conservatives apparently "think" about risk with higher use of fight/flight region of brain than liberals.
"Protect the environment" is not a political viewpoint. It's a survival message. That conservatives think of it as a political message and someone telling them what to do shows an innate childishness in their world view. So there, I'll destroy our world because you said don't destroy it. Nanny nanny nanny. I'll show you.

I'm using this plugin along with Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types. So far, things are working extremely well. I just have one main issue that I need addressed.
When a user submits a form (which makes a new post), I'd like to be able to generate an automatic link to the editable form when a new page is published.
I tried to include html (
<a href="/some-page-with-a-form?gform_post_id=<?php the_ID(); ?>">Edit This Post (with the actual URL at the start) in the merged body of the post, but it doesn't display correctly on the new post.
If I could get that to work, it would be incredible. Is there any other way to make this happen?

Call of Duty: Ghosts, the latest entry of the highly successful Call of Duty series, is now available for a reduced price om Microsoft's eBay store.
The Xbox One version of the game is now available for purchase for only $24.99 instead of the usual $59.99 price, 58% off its usual price. It's a really good deal that will allow more Xbox One owners to experience the next generation version of the game.
Call of Duty: Ghosts has been released last year on consoles and PC. The game features, as usual, a single player campaign as well as an extensive multiplayer mode. The multiplayer mode is especially interesting, since players will not be creating a character with a specific class but create a new one by choosing between several different body parts and equipment.
Call of Duty: Ghosts has also received three DLC packs including new multiplayer maps, new weapons and a new episodic campaign called Extinction. The latest DLC, called Invasion, has been released yesterday on Xbox Live and will soon become available for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PC versions of the game.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is now available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U and PC.

Takes Two Sides to Have a Rupture
Republican Party infighting is interesting to watch, but talk of a full-blown "rupture" based on contrasting Sunday show appearances seems overblown. Mike Tomasky fingers the reason:
A prerequisite for a "rupture" is that there are two competing sides capable of rupturing. But that really isn't the case in Washington. There aren't enough GOP moderates in Washington to constitute a side. It'll take more than Powell and Ridge to create any kind of schism.
The closest thing to a real rupture is this. Some conservatives believe that in races wherein a solidly conservative candidate can't win, it makes sense to run an occasional deviationist. Other conservatives believe that solid conservatives should be nominated for every race, irrespective of how unlikely it is that a solid conservative could win statewide in, say, Maine. This really is a dispute. You see the pragmatic side of this argument seeming to carry the day in terms of Senate nominees for Connecticut and Delaware. And you see the hardliners backing Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania and this guy Rubio in Florida. But there's absolutely no chance that the Mike Castles and Rob Simmonses of the world are actually the future of the GOP. The real dispute is over whether or not they'll be allowed to play at a sidetable.

Hi I really like the horizontal navigation that Piwik analytics uses, see their live demo with nav bar here: http://demo.piwik.org/index.php?modu...&idDashboard=1
I want to re-create that navigation for my own website. The problem though is that my JS is very rusty. So I was wondering...
How hard is it to re-create a menu like that, would it be pretty simple with some jquery and basic JS knowledge? My programming knowledge is good (php), just not very experienced with JS.
I was thinking of maybe hiring someone at freelancer.com, but if it's easy I prefer to do it myself, maybe with some help, so I know for sure the code is clean and not spaghetti chaos.
Anyone can help?

Have you ever tried to comprehend infinite? Not of the "Never ending" or "Eternal" variety. I'm referring to a cosmic infinite, space unending. Go on. Try it. Boggles the mind, does it not? Humanity is unable to comprehend the concepts of unending existence. Some have dedicated their life to the study of the universe and have not even scraped the surface. There are things that lurk among the stars, and worse.
I have personally observed millions of solar systems, alien constellations, and even gaps in the very fabric of reality. That Is why I am writing this down for posterity. It may seem to be fiction to you, but believe me... The hunters that hide behind the thin veil of existence eagerly await others such as myself, those that have been exposed to the falsehood of reality.
I was like you once. A mundane human, blissfully ignorant of the truth. Until my eyes were forced open in a very brutal manner.
Even now I can remember with horrifying clarity the cult that tried to orchestrate my sacrifice to their false gods. It was the fifth of December, about two years ago. I was returning home from my job at the library. I was greeted by a young woman with an eccentric look in her eyes. With a flip of her night-black hair she asked if I would like to join her for a stroll.
In my mind I knew something was off, but I felt a compulsion, almost like I was destined to follow her. To this day I wonder if it was my loneliness that drove me to follow, or a darker ominous force that beckoned me to obey.
We went to a bar and had a few rounds. She smiled and offered me a drink. I couldn't refuse that face any more than I could reject her offer of company. Two sips into my drink I could feel my consciousness ebbing. She laughed and elbowed the guy next to her. "What a lightweight, eh?" I slipped to the floor and the darkness wrapped itself around my mind.
I awakened chained to a rock in some cold dark forest, shivering when a gust of wind as cold as the grave robbed my body of heat. Voices were chanting in some bizarre aborted language. The gurgles and ululations forming a foreboding chorus, and in this hellish music I could sense something evil crawling around unseen.
The chanting grew close, encroaching upon my freezing naked form. As my eyes adjusted I could see several hooded figures gathering around me. One walked forward with an ornate blade coated in precious jewels and began carving symbols of an enigmatic nature upon my flesh. I tried to scream, to let out some sound of anguish, but I was gagged with a length of velvet cloth.
The figure carving the runes into my skin steps forward and throws her hood back, still chanting. It's the woman from the bar. She had a maniacal smile stretched out across her face. She ceased chanting as the group slowly crept together around me and their chants grew louder to make up for her silence.
She placed the blade against her tongue and drew sharply. Not even a wince as the blood began to flow. Brushing her hair back once more, she leaned in and removed the gag from my mouth. Too shocked to even to call for help she pulled my head away from the slab of granite and locked her lips over mine. The taste of blood permeated my mouth as she probed around, and a shudder of revulsion washed over me. I can taste the corruption within her body.
I tried to pull away but blood loss had rendered me helpless. It felt as though I was freezing from the inside out, her tainted blood sliding down my throat. She stroked my hair as she pulls away, some sick parody of affection.
My gag reflex kicked in, but nothing comes up. The stars above me were swimming in and out of focus and everything seemed to dull. She climbed onto the slab and straddled my bleeding body. She began to speak in that unholy tongue again and her speech started to speed up. The group had joined arms and started rocking back and forth, swaying in tune with my own heartbeat.
Her eyes flash with an alien intelligence as she plunges the knife hilt deep into my heart. This time I do scream. But something happened. The very world around me seemed to recede, leaving me in a dark void.
I went to pull the knife free, only to see that it wasn't there. The gaping wound was still present, but no cultist's, no knife, and no earth beneath me. Ahead I noticed a pulsating mass of organic tissue writhing it's way towards me. As I turned to flee I could feel some sort of appendage wrap around my leg.
I was jerked through the void by some massive, grotesque, and utterly alien entity. I began pleading for my life as it pulled me in front of a gigantic pupilless eye and stared me down. You could have fit a house into that loathsome orb, a sickening shade of violet-green. A deep echoing rumble escaped the beast. Honest to God, I swear it was laughing at me.
A small tendril erupted from it's eye and began to trace it's way along my skull, the rumbling ceased for now. The slimy tendril pressed up against my forehead, pressing into it as if the test the structure.
And then it wormed it's way past bone, sliding through my brain as though searching. For two hours this continued and I never stopped my mad shouting once. "What the hell are you?!" I cried out pleadingly.
The thing starts to rumble again as it withdraws the tendril. I reached up to find that there was no entry wound. In fact, all of the lacerations were healed over. Scar tissue had even built up.
It's eye continued to stare in the same manner a squid would identify a potential home. It reached my head once more and gently touched my forehead, rumbling the whole time.
As it made contact all of my neurons seemed to fire at once. But that was only the beginning. In the time that thing touched me to the time it withdrew, I had lived over a billion lifetimes.
I have set foot upon a star, basking in the nuclear warmth that pervaded it. I have traveled across thousands of planets. I watched the birth of a star system, and watched it die a slow death. I have met a thousand races, many killing themselves off at the apex of their society. I have fled from the hounds. Ripped my way through hundreds of dimensions, and touched an omnipotent entity that fancies itself a god. I have personally overseen the development of an entire galaxy, nurturing it and becoming elated at it's success as the inhabitants transcended reality itself.
And then it pulls away, eons of knowledge and experience crammed into a fraction of a second. Yet are they my memories? Or this cosmic monstrosity? The hands I have seen in these memories are my own, and I remember the feel of earth and mud as I sculpted a planet in my own hands. Is it some sort of sick joke?
Moments later, almost as if bored, the creature vanishes, casting my body back into my own world. As I collapsed to the ground the people who wished to murder me are pulled through to the other side. Some being ripped in half by massive clawed limbs. Blood coats the ground as they vanish amidst cries of primal terror.
I can hear the woman laughing as she walks away, untouched by the chaos that is tearing apart her associates. Once more the darkness takes root, and I awaken in a realm of alien landscapes as I try to piece together what happened.
This is how I live for the two years leading up to this account. Bouncing through dimensions and avoiding the monsters that hide behind the lie of reality, I may have finally made it home. How am I still sane? Simple. I'm not.
Truth be told, I doubt even my humanity. I may be about as human as a quasar, or a neutrino wave flung from a dying star. Am I corporeal because I wish to be? I spend hours screaming at the galaxy, begging for answers. I have killed the raven haired seductress a thousand times over. Two years spans over decades. I have become unstuck from time itself on more than one occasion. Sanity? I think it no longer applies.
I have learned rather quickly that reality is false. It may be a figment of your imagination. You may be the fevered dream of some alien intelligence from beyond space and time. Who am I to judge? I may not even be real. And if this written statement is deemed fiction so be it.
I actually sent this off to a publishing company, but it was probably a pipedream.
I tried to give it a sense of detachment, but I think I failed.
I tried to give it a sense of detachment, but I think I failed.
I actually think something like this could be the best book ever for me.I love this kind of stuff.
Thanks! I wanted a breather from cheap writings about psychics, werewolves, and vampires.

The Australian ChildrenÔÇÖs Laureate is an initiative developed by the Australian ChildrenÔÇÖs Literature Alliance (ACLA), a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2008.
The Laureate's role is to promote the importance of reading, creativity and story in the lives of young Australians.
Previous Laureates include Alison Lester and Boori Monty Pryor (2012-13) and Jackie French (2014-15).
The Laureate for 2016-17 is Leigh Hobbs.
Australian ChildrenÔÇÖs Literature Alliance
The Australian ChildrenÔÇÖs Literature Alliance (ACLA) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation, founded in 2008 to champion and promote the transformational power of reading in the lives of young Australians. ACLA is a collegial and inclusive organisation with representation from across the field of children's and young adult literature.
In 2014 ACLA secured DGR status.
ACLA's vision is to: enrich the lives of young Australians through the power of story.
ACLAÔÇÖs mission is to:
- Promote the value, importance and transformational nature of reading
- Influence the reading habits of Australian families
- Raise the profile of books in the lives of children and young adults
- Champion the cause of young Australians reading.
One of ACLAÔÇÖs primary activities is the development and management of the Australian ChildrenÔÇÖs Laureate program.
Australian ChildrenÔÇÖs Laureate Initiative
The establishment of an Australian ChildrenÔÇÖs Laureate to promote the importance of reading is based on the successful implementation of this idea in the UK and US.
The ChildrenÔÇÖs Laureate will be an Australian author and/or illustrator of childrenÔÇÖs and/or youth literature who is making a significant contribution to the childrenÔÇÖs literature canon of this country. The Laureate will be appointed on a biennial basis and will promote the transformational power of reading, creativity and story in the lives of young Australians, while acting as a national and international ambassador for Australian childrenÔÇÖs literature.
The inaugural ChildrenÔÇÖs Laureate role for 2012 to 2013 is shared by two eminent and much-loved childrenÔÇÖs authors, Alison Lester and Boori Monty Pryor.
The second Children's Laureate role for 2014 to 2015 is held by┬áJackie French, best-selling author of over 140 books, including the iconic Diary of a Wombat┬á(illustrated by Bruce Whatley) and HitlerÔÇÖs Daughter.┬á
There are now also Children's Laureate programs in: Finland, Holland, Ireland, Mexico, Sweden and Wales.
How is the Laureate selected?
The selection panel is made up of ACLA's established board representing industry leaders from all aspects of the childrenÔÇÖs book industry (literature development, libraries, schools, publishers, booksellers) across Australia. This includes representation from the Australian Society of Authors, the Australian Publishers Association, Books Illustrated and The National Library of Australia.
They also considered nominations from colleagues and affiliated organisations (Boards of CBCA, IBBY etc.) within the industry by consulting with ACLA's extensive network of state subcommittees.
The selection panel for the 2014-2015 Laureate Jackie French were:
- Andrew Wilkins - Business Advantage, Wilkins Farago (VIC)
- Andrew Kelly - Wild Dog Books (VIC)
- Dr Robyn Sheahan-Bright -  Justified text writing and publishing consultancy services, Australian Society of Authors and IBBY Australia Inc (QLD)
- Ann James  - Books Illustrated, Australian Society of Authors (VIC)
- Laurine Croasdale -  Australian Society of Authors, Literature Live (NSW)
- Jane Covernton - Australian Publishers Association Children's Book Committee, Working Title Press publishers (SA)
- Maureen Brooks - National Library of Australia (ACT)
What are the criteria for selecting the Australian Children's Laureate?
- Has been published by an Australian publisher
- Is an Australian citizen and resident in Australia for the term of office
- Has made a significant contribution to Australian childrenÔÇÖs and/or youth literature, with recognised stature, a positive public profile and the respect of their peers
- Has proven ability to relate to and communicate well with children
- Is an articulate and media-savvy communicator
- Is willing to promote the transformational power, value and importance of reading and the importance of childrenÔÇÖs and youth literature in AustraliaÔÇÖs literary culture
- Is willing to visit each state and territory at least once during the intended two (2) year term
- Agrees to operate in consultation with the ACLA Board in their programme/project development
The ChildrenÔÇÖs Laureate is defined as an Honour.

When the duster is saturated with dust, which may be after several uses, simply rinse the duster out in a sink.

OMB's Danny Werfel provides new guidance on the eve of the sequester. (File photo)
With the sequester D-Day only a day away, Office of Management and Budget Controller Danny Werfel sent out a reminder to agency heads on how agencies with sequestrable accounts may handle the cuts.
Agencies can expect more scrutiny of certain activities on sequestered accounts, including hiring new employees, issuing discretionary monetary awards to staff, and incurring obligations for new training, conferences and travel, Werfel reminded them.
"… [E]xpending funds on these activities at this time would in many circumstances not be the most effective way to protect agency mission to the extent practicable," Werfel wrote. "Therefore, agency leadership should review processes and controls around these activities, and ensure that these activities are conducted only to the extent they are the most cost-effective way to maintain critical agency mission operations under sequestration."
OMB Memo Feb. 27.
OMB Memo Jan. 14.
Werfel's Feb. 27 guidance builds on previous communications with agencies about the implementation of sequestration, and addresses questions related to certain categories of planning activities.
Agencies on Jan. 14 received the OMB memo "Planning for Uncertainty with Respect to Fiscal Year 2013 Budgetary Resources," which ordered them to start planning for operating under leaner fiscal conditions. Those efforts should be done with "sufficient detail and clarity" to identify actions taken to operate with fewer budgetary resources, Werfel wrote.
For example, agencies should have identified any major contracts or grants that need to be shuttered or delayed. The same consideration should be taken to determine how many employees need to be furloughed, and the timing and length of those furloughs.
Agency partners should also be informed of the sequester impact so they can adjust their operations and plans accordingly. Werfel said agencies should be as specific as possible to provide enough detail to these stakeholders in understanding the consequences of the sequester.
The sequester will also affect agency contracting activities, with reduced contracting resources. Werfel said agencies should try to ensure that contract actions are "cost-effective and minimize negative impact on the agency's mission to the extent practicable." Overall, agencies should consider new contracts only when they support high-priority efforts, he added.

SHEFFIELD, Ala. (AP) - A broken 16-inch water line left residential and business customers in Sheffield without water.
City officials said the damage occurred as a construction crew
was working on sewer lines Monday afternoon.
Within five hours, the city's main tank was nearly empty,
Customers were asked to quit using water until workers could
repair the line.
Tommy Barnes, superintendent of the Sheffield Gas and Water
departments, said the damage was repaired just after 8 p.m.
He added the system was being refilled.
He said the top priority was getting water service restored to Helen Keller Hospital.
