see the-dark-wanderers also
Reknown for their acts of savagery, it is generally held (true or not) that
these five were, in part, responsible for the downfall of the Ancients through their
Note: Each of these characters is another aspect of a theme of self-knowledge,
taken to an extreme. How much a part of the uberplot they come to play is an open
question.They could remain as mythical figures interesting only for their parts in
creating the starting island or they could become prime factors or even adversaries.
Peripherally, each is designed to provide a realm of "dungeon dressings"
particular to each one - a style of their own.They are also specifically designed
so that they may referred to by others (as examples or grotesqueries) and used
elsewhere storywise as desired.
The Beast
We created a fifth one in order to present another quest on the Starting Island (for Druids/Rangers). It was a beast of some sort. It was a mindless monster under the direct control of one of the others - probably the weakest. Need to work on it in the near future.
Drad Elndra, the Shadows' Companion Male Human Rogue/Shadowdancer/Assassin
The self-styled "Left Hand of Darkness", Elndra gave himself over to the
realm of shadow fairly early in his career, eventually to become an assassin of the
highest power. This reportedly gave him stealth and silence abilities of near mythic
power and subtlety. It is even claimed that he could instantly teleport between the
shadows and was impossible to target because of this ability.
It was a favoured method of Elndra, in his assassination, to cause such a
wound, seemingly minor, that would not admit of healing, magical or otherwise, and
that led to slow, painful, and inexorable death. He favoured abdominal wounds in
paricular, wherein the viscera was slightly punctured causing the victim to linger in
agony while rot and pestilence set in.
His dedication to the shadow realms won him many allies and abilities. He
was known to be able to call upon such beings as shadows, dark stalkers and dark
creepers, shadow mastiffs and the like to assist him as he desired.
If a single emotion could be said to epitomize Elndra's desires it would be
fear. He longed to see terror on the faces of his victims. He lived to etch dread and
torment on their souls, to savor their despair and revel in his power to cause it. He
desired, above all else, to reveal the brutal honesty at the heart of all the
refined contivances of the civilized veneer. Some would point out, in grim, unamused
tones, that this was darkly ironic given the man's bright and attractive appearance.
He was fair haired and handsome by all accounts.
Ushrika Agrukt, Devourer of Souls Female Half-Orc Cleric
A raging beast of a sadistic monster, Agrukt was known for performing her
sacrifices to her dark gods by means of feasting on the flesh of the victims. She is
said to have mastered the cruelest of tortures and to have excelled in what she
perceived as the art of prolonging the agony. The victims literally got to witness
themselves being devoured by the priestess, piece by piece in a ritual that could
last days. She placed particular emphasis on body parts understood to have symbolic
import - as is the wont of all cannibals. She sought to complete herself by consuming
the lives, hopes, and flesh of others.
Some suggest, however, that she was far from sufficiently subtle to have
developed such refined methods in her own - so many specualte that she was coached by
the more meticulous, educated and refined Elndra.
But, whatever her own abilities, she was favoured by a dark god and rose to
astounding levels of divine power. Ushrika became a cleric early, desperately seeking
any kind of wholeness and a dark god awaited her. She was a perfect conduit - hollow
herself. Voraciously she ate up the sould of others in the name of her new god, hoping
to fill the emptiness within her, always without success. Then she met Drad Elndra,
who set her on a path of unfathomable distruction and cruelty. She feels some
satisfaction in the desperate terror of her victims, but still suffers the power her
own victims wield over her. She is too dull to understand why she still rages in
frustration at her existence…
Note: Via the divine pact Ushrika shared with her dark god, Ushrika was actually
able to consume their essences/souls and grow stronger for it. As time passed, she
eventually was able to call upon an army of spirits and wraiths that were both the
consumed spirits of her victims and parts of her own self, directly controllable by
her will alone.
Shonet Grimhammer, The Fleshcrafter Female Dwarven Warrior
As is the way of most Dwarves, Shonet favoured the hammer and axe. While a
superior stone and metal crafter, her work was said to have contained such a subtlety
of horror and darkness that her own kin spoke of her works as fettered and bound,
mute with unutterable anguish. What, at first, was seen (uncomfortably) as a
potentially brilliant talent for expressing the fears and struggles of the Dwarven
spirit that could lead to self-understanding eventually came to be understood as the
mere expression of Shonet's malice and contempt for her own people. Unable to bear
the increingly nightmarish visage of Shonet's creations, her elders eventually
forbade her to work stone or metal. This led to an unpleasant parting between Shonet
and her kin who took her name (now lost in the histories) and dubbed her Grimhammer.
In the ensuing struggle, Shonet would lose an eye and thereafter used this deformity
to symbolize the true state of the Dwarven soul as she put it.
As her warrior's career progressed, she particularly delighted in bringing
pain and horror to Dwarven folk of all clans, seeking to make some point that almost
everyone was too frightened and, in Shonet's view, too cowardly and dishonest to face.
Once, she secretly spoke of his desire to remake her people into her own fashion -
as, she put it, they were meant to be. Dwarves captured by her were often released
again horribly disfigured and maimed.
Shonet's kinship with Ushrika was viewed by her kin as proof of her evil
and madness. Shonet disdained their evaluation, claiming instead that the hatred
her kin felt for orcs was their failure to accept their secret admiration for the
brutal honesty and savagery of the orcan kind - a hatred of their own selves. Dwarves
everywhere use her as an example of what terrible wrong can be wrought with and by
the crafting arts.
Tyrzak Malgovrian Male Human/Construct Wizard
Malgovrian was as powerful a master of the arcane arts as any who could be
named, and several who should never be. His evil lie not, as it did in the others,
in the focus on the darker sides of their own personas and peoples, but in the near
absolute disregard for the human condition altogether. With a coldly detached and
mechanistic vantage on every dealing, he is said to have castrated himself to stifle
his own desires. His was a tale of unfathomable power lust - not for his desire to
rule over others (they were as nought to him) but for reasons unknown, and perhaps
In reality, Malgovrian was obsessed beyond sanity with the concept of freedom
- hence his desire to divest himself of his humanity which he saw as bonds. He wished
to determine what he was in himself, without influences of ANY kind. He is controlled
by his own need to be in control, but doesn't understand how his own will is ironically
controling him, and thereby, betraying him.
Note: As his humanity left him and he became increasingly divorced from his own
nature, Malgovrian became more interested in the "futuristic" arts of the Ancients,
especially in their capabilities as artificiers. He cared nothing of undeath (its
evil meaning nothing to him) and eventually sought to become an artifact himself - a
construct and he hoped to extend his purified conciousness across the minds of all
constructs. The ancients reviled his attempts to turn their arts to his ends, and
refused him the knowledge he sought. What followed was a relentless, driven campaign
by Malgovrian to steal the knowledge from them, by whatever means necessary and
heedless of any consequences.

In 1976, Joseph Weizenbaum, wrote:
It may be that social services such as welfare could have been administered by humans exercising human judgment if the dispensing of such services were organized around decentralized, indigenous population groupings, such as neighborhoods, and natural regions. But the computer was used to automate the administration of social services and to centralize it along established political lines. If the computer had not facilitated the perpetuation and "improvement" of existing welfare distribution systems — hence of their philosophical rationales — perhaps someone might have thought of eliminating much of the need for welfare by, for example, introducing negative income tax.
Weizenbaum was also critical of the application of computers to social and military problems, among others. The theme being that it would have been better for some bureaucratic systems to collapse under the weight of their paperwork, than for the computer to have come to their rescue, just in time.
This will also be a theme in World Remixed.
For example, computers on the web can help plan a trip from A to B on TriMet, or give us the next arrival time of any given bus at any given stop. This is certainly better than nothing, but it doesn't mean that we have designed the best possible transit system routes or web of transportation. It also increases our dependency on technology. You need a computer with you to plan your trip, or tell you when the bus might be along.
Imagine instead a system that is intuitive to use. No route-finding computer would be needed. I will expand on this in the next remixed entry.
Joseph Weizenbaum is professor emeritus of computer science at MIT. The quote appears in the chapter On Tools in COMPUTER POWER AND HUMAN REASON, FROM JUDGMENT TO CALCULATION. You can see him on wikipedia.

This past summer, while preparing to conduct a leadership development project at a large energy company, I reviewed the firm's employee engagement scores. Unlike so many organizations, this one analyzed its data along generational lines. I noticed a surprising pattern: managers and employees belonging to Generation X, those born between 1965 and 1980, reported significantly less engagement and professional fulfillment than other employees.
When I alerted my client to this pattern, she was equally surprised, but not especially moved. Gen X was less engaged. So what?
Forgotten generation
Suspecting that this data revealed an important trend, I couldn't let it go. I wanted to understand the reality behind the numbers. During our first session, I asked leaders — most of whom were either baby boomers or members of Gen X — to talk about generational differences at work.
Sure enough, Gen X leaders were frustrated. These 36-51 year old leaders complained that their older, boomer counterparts took too long to make decisions. They also criticized the boomer tendency to dismiss new ideas and resist change.
Boomers reacted defensively, explaining that the firm had "compliance issues to think about." The Gen X leaders brushed those concerns aside. They knew compliance mattered, but felt the company could afford to embrace new, more innovative approaches and that decisions could be made at lower levels of the organization.
My clients were again surprised — but still not overly worried. At their company, Gen X leaders hadn't been venting any frustrations, but they clearly had concerns. Even with the data, however, they still didn't really plan to engage Gen Xers in a further discussion or understand their concerns at a deeper level.
I am seeing this much more frequently in my consulting work: The tendency of companies to forget about Gen X. And commensurately, the tendency of Gen X employees and managers to be less happy and engaged.
Why you should care
So why aren't companies paying attention to Gen X? It's simple. Companies pay attention to boomers. They're aware that these older workers are retiring, and they fear a looming vacuum at the top of their organizations.
Companies also pay attention to millennials. They know that the youngest employees are less loyal than previous generations, and they worry about retaining them. By contrast, companies usually don't believe Gen X poses any particular "problem" for the organization. So why expend extra time, attention and financial resources attending to their needs?
I'll tell you why. In most companies, Gen X represents the largest cohort of employees in the workforce. They either occupy senior leadership roles in companies, or are about to. Employers need to retain these individuals, and they need them to contribute.
By ignoring Gen X, companies are missing valuable opportunities to engage and motivate this cohort, and to energize their companies in the process. As a result, Gen X employees are at greater risk of not contributing to their highest abilities or worse yet, leaving.
Let's not take Gen X for granted.
Check in regularly with your Gen X employees — don't wait for them to come to you. Demonstrate your commitment to developing their careers. Ask for their input on how the company can best support their growth. And be honest. Gen X employees communicate candidly themselves, and they expect the same from others. If they perceive that you're hiding something, their frustration will only mount and your credibility with them will significantly decline.
Don't get me wrong — Boomers and millennials matter. But other groups matter, too. You need them all motivated, engaged and feeling valued. Don't forget about that middling generation, those so-called "latchkey kids." Don't forget about Gen X.

Publication is a slow process. Even magazine publications can take a long time. Years ago I sold a piece to Highlights and it took three years before it was published. But it appeared in their 50th anniversary addition so that made the wait worthwhile. (Fortunately, they pay on acceptance.)
Work-for-hire is often quicker, but still not immediate. This past week I got two of the three books I wrote for Unibooks (Korea) in late 2011. We finished rewrites in early 2012. Published under the Tuntun label which produces books to teach Korean children English, these books are written by native English speakers. I'm very pleased with how my books, both retellings of Aesop fables, turned out. Each cover has some special effects of shiny texture. (I'm sure there is some correct technical word, but I don't know it.)
BELLING THE CAT was illustrated by Kwak Jinyoung. Jinyoung did a great job. The mice crack me up. The cat is nice and wicked (from a mouse's point of view). There are two fold out pages and one fold up page, which was a fun surprise. I also like how she did some lettering as if it was cut out fabric.
THE FOX AND THE CRANE was illustrated by Son Junghyun. Junghyun put in lots of details that mean kids could spend a long time reading and rereading before they notice them all. I especially like the image of Fox pulling a trick on Rabbit. Look at the sidewalk and trees in this image.
I worked with two editors on these books and we did a number of revisions. I worked with a different editor on a third book, MY SHADOW, that is to come out next month.
Some of my friends wrote books for Tuntun also and got their copies recently, too:
Jo S. Kittinger: I JUMP UP, I COME BACK DOWN (about gravity) and THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF. Read about Jo on her website.
Monica Harris: SASHA'S SENSES, SOPHIE & GYURI'S FUN DAY - review 2, SOPHIE & GYURI'S FUN DAY - review 3. Monica lost her webmaster so plans to focus on updating her site in 2013.
Another friend, like me, is waiting for further copies. Genny Heikka will be getting A TRIP TO THE SUPERMARKET soon. On her site you can see she's done a lot of books for this company.

TEchno Funk!!!
I had so much fun completing this look! My client was ready to go to a TeChNo pArTy and wanted to have a fun- funky look. I used pinks and blues- and an overall shimmer to create nice glow.
I used a palette that gives you endless possibilities from Coastal Scents 88 Ultra shimmer palette, and also used my Urban Decay 24/7 pencil (Electric) Of course, an ultra long set of girly lashes completed the bright look!
I really enjoy creating looks that allow me to use and experiment with fun colors- she looked great and was ready to get her dance on ;)
What colors are your FAVE when you go out?!
xoxo Stay glamorous,

... ♥ Naked Beauty ♥ ...
Guess what's one of my new must-have palettes?! Yep- you guessed it! Urban Decay (Naked)- it's one of the most popular palettes this year! I was so happy to be one of the first ones to get a hold of this number:)
It has such great Pigmentation and a variety of NAKED colors. If you love a soft brown and some shimmer- this palette is for you! From a simple soft brown look to an adventurous SMOKY eye (the possibilities are endless!)
I love this look because I was able to create a sophisticated smoky eye with a soft overall glow: ) She looked amazing! And the whole look is with NAKED .The light golden color in the inner tear area gave her a pop of color; without hiding her natural glow and beauty.
All over lid = GUNMETAL
Crease = HUSTLE
Darken Inner V = CREEP
Brow Highlight = VIRGIN
Inner Tear = HALF BAKED
What's your favorite palette ?- I'd love to know and test it out:)
xoxo Stay glamorous,

GRECIAN GODdESS !!!
I used a gold pigment by MAC to get the golden look she wanted.
The soft airbrushed foundation helped her skin stay matte and looking flawless!
I love it when I have the opportunity to make a BRIDES special day even better!-By helping her enhance her natural beauty- I was able to get this bride all ready-to-go for her big day:)
She wanted to go for a classy GOLDEN GODDESS look and I had a lot of fun using gold pigment. This foil lasts all day but it's important to layer it with a light layer of golden eyeshadow to avoid creasing.
The main focus were her eyes and the rest was just a soft airbrushed look. On such an important day like a wedding- the last thing a bride should have to worry about- is her makeup! I want to make sure that all of my brides feel as gorgeous and happy on the outside as they do on the inside!
I hope you agree with me when I say she looked Flawless for her big day! ;)
Stay Glamorous,

I used 4 colors in this pallet: RESIT – GOSSIP – ALLURE AND BEWARE…
And VOILA! I'm all ready to go out with the girls and just have a Fun night out! I even ventured and added some extreme lashes to complete the whole look…

Yes...They are REAL!!
I have to admit... YES- I am a Mascara Junkie, amongst other things ;) I'm always on the hunt for the best mascara ever. There are so many out there that claim to do amazing things, however, it's more talk than results!:p
When I heard about this mascara- I was so excited because it claimed to do a lot of things (I got it at my second home: Sephora : )
The Mascara is called Benefit "They're Real"($22) I know a little pricey but it claimed to give you "length, curl , lift, volume" basically THE WORKS! For me, the "curl" was what caught my eye-my lashes are long but so very stubborn and stick straight and I will buy anything that claims to give me some curl!
So the result after I used it? Drum roll please.... I was VERY impressed and happy with my purchase! It does help with CURL (that I crave) and it's also very lengthening. It DOESN'T even CLUMP or FLAKE- which is an added benefit for those of us that want the perfect look!
It's a a great addition to my other stash of Favorite Mascaras!
Do you have any other Holy Grail(HG) Mascaras that you can't live without? I would love to know! It could be my next feature product!

DARE to be Bold !!!
I just received this pallet and other goodies last week that I ordered from Sigma Makeup. It was really hard to make a decision because they have 3 amazing choices for their new eyeshadow collection: DARE, BARE and FLARE !!!(amazing name right) All equally beautiful- for all of us that LOVE to make and experiment with many different looks..!
The pigmentation- in one word- AMAZING! It's hard to find eyeshadows that don't cost a bundle with great pigmentation that lasts! I love the packaging and the value to get 8 shadows for $35 dollars- this is way cheaper than buying individual MAC eyeshadows... And one great perk with all of their pallets is that they come with a dual brush .. I can totally appreciate that .. one can't have one to many brushes right ?! This one has Sigma E20 (short shader brush) and E45 (small tapered blending : )
I was super excited try this look-It was funny, but I ended up using the palette I was the least excited about DARE , but once I got it, the colors just won me over specially "Shout " seems a bit intimidating in the package and a little daring-but it's such a nice color! I hope you DARE to try this look!.. and hope you love it as much as I do !
Definitely 2 thumbs up for this one!
XOXO Lizzie

New Technology for Artifact Evaluation Opens Closed Doors to Past
Finding an ancient stash of coins or metal relics has always been exciting, but if a coin was corroded enough, there wasn't a lot of historical significance that could be tapped from that coin. Advancements in technology are allowing coins to tell tales we never had access to before with old methods of coin analysis.
Using new applications of X-ray fluorescence and isotope analysis, and specialized software and reference materials from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, scientists have at their fingertips a means of nondestructive evaluation analyze coins while extracting vital data about the coin which was previously unavailable to them using older and more destructive methods of analysis.
Coins can now be correctly attributed to the particular ruler when corrosion leaves questions about the origin of the coin, but using the new methods of calibration, scientists can also fingerprint the ores from which the coin was fashioned. Because metals differ from location to location, by fingerprinting the metal the coin is composed of, scientists are able to use the new technologies and methods of calibration to tell where the metal in the coin came from.
By putting together the rulers coins were minted under and location from which the metal originated archaeologists have a means to place the dates of mining industry and find out more about a culture's commerce than they could ever uncover before. They can also do so with unprecedented accuracy. Tests run on coins have already shown that the mines of Arabia operational much earlier than presumed, although it is still a question whether the Romans had moved to the region earlier than presumed or or whether the mines were already running when they arrived. The interaction between Romans and Arabian culture was going on earlier than supposed.
Fingerprinting metal artifacts is likely to lead to some very startling discoveries about early mining and trade. Perhaps it won't be long before we find which far away culture was mining the copper of Northern Michigan over six thousand years ago. Is the who-done-it novel about to succumb to a new breed of archaeological reports?

Rangers' Callahan, Hagelin each have surgeryNHL.com @NHLdotcom
New York Rangers forwards Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin each had surgery on his left shoulder to repair a torn labrum, the team announced Friday.
Callahan, the Rangers captain, had 16 goals, 15 assists and a plus-9 rating in 45 regular-season games. He had two goals and three assists in 12 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
The 28-year-old wing received the Rangers' Players' Player Award for the third consecutive year, and the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award for the fourth time.
Hagelin, 24, played all 48 games during the regular season, scoring 10 goals with 14 assists. He had three goals and three assists during the playoffs.
The Rangers defeated the Washigton Capitals in the first round of the playoffs before being eliminated by the Boston Bruins in five games.
Coach John Tortorella -- who during the second round said Hagelin "stinks" on the power play -- was fired Wednesday.

Law Punishes Truancy by Taking Away Teens' Keys
Thursday, October 25, 2007
At schools across Maryland, educators and motor vehicle officials have teamed up to enforce a new state law that is the latest strategy to deter habitual truancy.
The measure, which took effect Oct. 1, denies a learner's permit to students younger than 16 who have more than 10 unexcused absences during the prior school semester.
Whether they are in public or private school or are home-schooled, teens must submit a certified, sealed school attendance form as part of their application. The Motor Vehicle Administration will not accept forms from students if there is evidence of tampering or alteration, agency spokesman Buel Young said. The law probably will affect thousands of teenagers: In the last budget year, more than 14,500 16-year-olds earned provisional driver's licenses.
A teenager must be at least 15 years, 9 months old before applying for a Maryland learner's permit, and the driver must hold that learner's permit for at least six months, Young said.
The measure, which borrows a strategy adopted in other states, was pushed during the past General Assembly session by a Prince George's County delegate.
Habitually truant students "face no repercussions under the law, and I thought that was a big gap," said Del. Gerron S. Levi (D), the lead sponsor of House Bill 571. "This is one way to hold students accountable."
Truancy is a major issue for a few school systems in Maryland. More than 10 percent of Baltimore students were habitually absent in the 2005-06 school year, according to a state report.
In the Washington region, Prince George's contends with a truancy rate of 4.39 percent, the report said. For other school districts, such as Montgomery and Howard, the percentages of truants are smaller, but the problem persists among subgroups of students.
Under Maryland law, parents can face criminal charges if their children are habitually truant, but those cases are rare, educators say.
School officials who work directly with students and families say truancy is a tough knot to unravel.
"Truancy is always, in my opinion, a symptom of underlying issues, not a disorder in itself," said Howard pupil personnel worker Bob D'Angelis. "It's such a range: financial issues, mental health issues, logistical issues, substance abuse issues. It's very, very complicated."
Levi said she's concerned about what truancy can encourage.

Gripflow Sample Parts
The sample parts below depict characteristics of the Gripflow Stamping Process.
We have been able to eliminate 90% of the die-roll in select areas of this part.
This part was stamped using a 3-station progressive Gripflow Tool.
The material is a low carbon hot rolled steel (SAE 1008/1010).
Section "A" required minimum die-roll and we were able to eliminate approximately 95% of the die-roll. The material thickness is 0.315" while the two small holes are 0.215 +/- 0.002" (68% of the material thickness).
All three (3) holes were pierced in the Gripflow progressive die.
The part is used in a "switching mechanism" assembly within the Electrical Industry.
Gripflow was an economical alternate to milling the area around Section "A" and drilling the two small holes.

Manhattan mom Heather McFadden is grateful that entrance into the prized New York City Gifted and Talented program has worked out for her two kids, Mind/Shift reports. Her daughter cleared both hurdles – she scored in the 99th percentile on the test, and then was lucky enough to get chosen for the lottery. Her son tested in as well. "I am thankful they [gifted programs] exist. There simply wasn't a school in our district we would send our kids to because of their ratings," McFadden said. "G and T [Gifted and Talented] was our only chance besides moving." She had also heard from teachers that kids who are more advanced would not be challenged in a standard setting…
Is it time to redefine "gifted and talented"?

A farm-out agreement has been reached between Bowleven and Victoria Oil & Gas (VOG) for a production sharing contract (PSC) for the Bomono Block, Cameroon
The Bomono permit is located in the onshore extension of the Douala Basin and is characterised by numerous surface oil seeps as well as a strong gas presence. It is largely unexplored.
Gaz du Cameroun Bomono (GDC Bomono), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of VOG, will take an 80 per cent stake in the Bomono PSC, with Bowleven's subsidiary EurOil keeping the remaining 20 per cent share and continuing as operator. Gas from the PSC will be sold to GDC minus a tolling fee. The gas price paid will be a weighted average received by GDC for its total domestic sales less a tolling fee for use of the pipeline network, with the pipeline connection from Bomono to the main network managed and funded by GDC.
GDC Bomono will complete the civil engineering works required for the gas processing plant installation at the Bomono site at an estimated capital cost of US$6mn.
Bowleven has agreed to pay GDC Bomono 50 per cent of any deficit, limited to a maximum payment of US$2 million, if the first three years of net income received by GDC Bomono is less than the development expenditure incurred. EurOil will receive a 3.5 per cent royalty from GDC Bomono's production share of hydrocarbons, with an aggregate cap limiting the total royalty payments to US$20 million.
"We are pleased to have reached this milestone for Bomono and look forward to working together with both VOG and the Cameroon authorities to realise the maximum potential this asset has to offer.," said Kevin Hart, CEO of Bowleven.

This might be a really dope project.
The city it much more than the Fresh Prince.

Testimony: Michelle Williams, Kittitas County
This is the testimony that Michelle Williams gave to her Legislators in January 2016 when she commented on the P2P bill.
Parent to Parent is a vital program for families raising children with special needs. I am the Kittitas County P2P Coordinator and have had this position for 13 years. When my son was diagnosed with classic autism and epilipsy over 15 years ago, P2P helped connect me with other families who were raising special children, shared disability resources and provided educational workshops so I could understand the multitude of agencies and programs that we would need to navigate for our son. Raising special children is very wonderful and rewarding......it can also be hard and isolating. Having other parents to talk to and get the emotional support we need, is vital to having healthy and resilient parents who can advocated effectively for their children. Please support P2P. It needs to be statewide to help ALL of Washington's special families.

Bailout Has Been Changed to 'Rescue'
I doubt any decent bill that addresses our systemic problems as well as providing help for those who really need it can be passed in the current environment. However, some sort of stopgap bill is probably going to have to be passed just to get us to the first week in February. Obviously, the less spent the better.
Not surprisingly, the current crisis is bringing out the bottom feeders: Newt Gingrich is back in the news and is as eager as ever to dominate right wing authoritarians, too many of whom occupy seats in Congress. They seem to remember who got them there. Here's the Huffington Post:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was working aggressively behind the scenes to defeat the Wall Street rescue plan minutes before he himself released a public statement in support of the package, NBC's Andrea Mitchell reported on Tuesday.
Yep, the same M.O. as usual—one has to give him that. Gingrich is one of the many reasons why we can't expect much seriousness from the House Republicans, though we still have to wait to see what the Senate Republicans will do.
A reader asked if there is a relationship between the credit crisis and the price of oil. The answer is yes and no. Because so many politicians, economists, bankers and corporate people don't fully understand the energy situation, the answer is largely no. These people do understand that large sums of money have been pulled out of the American housing market and its many faulty subsidiary investment schemes largely because overseas investors, mainly from Asia, need oil and are not just buying oil but trying to secure long-term sources which requires sizable investment in Africa and Asia. They do get that much. And they get that high oil prices are slowing down various sectors of the world economy (some understood it well enough to speculate dangerously and recklessly on oil). But they think of the current situation as temporary. And, in one sense, perhaps it is, but in the next twenty years we are likely to have an increasing number of these 'temporary situations' unless we recognize we have a problem and start dealing with it. So the answer is yes, but not according to those anesthetized by the usual market ideology.
In the meantime, the energy we need to run our economy still comes from oil. The oil industry, like any major business sector (well, more than most), has always had problems: oil spills, dry wells, production delays, refinery fires, financing problems etc. But we're entering an era where every problem is magnified much more than in the past. That is because the easy days of oil are over. We're in the hard days now. Here's the first of two stories from Rigzone:
As of September 29, 2008, 52 of the 3,800 offshore oil and gas production platforms have been confirmed as destroyed. Initial estimates are that the 52 destroyed production platforms produced a total of 13,300 barrels of oil per day and 90 million cubic feet of gas per day. Currently, MMS has no information on whether any of the destroyed platforms will be rebuilt by any operator.
Rebuilding platforms can be very expensive. Here's the other story:
From the operators' reports, it is estimated that approximately 57.1% of the oil production in the Gulf is shut-in. This shut-in figure for oil increased from yesterday's figure due to operators' errors in reporting for September 29, 2008. As of June 2008, estimated oil production from the Gulf of Mexico is 1.3 million barrels of oil per day. It is also estimated that approximately 45.7% of the natural gas production in the Gulf is shut-in.
Although it's not as bad as 2005 after Katrina, that's still a serious drop in oil production until everything gets back up (minus most of the 52 platforms). But I wouldn't want to guess whether oil prices will continue rising, falling or staying flat. Falling production usually means higher prices. But if the economy is sagging, that means lower prices. We're in an era of turbulence and turbulence at any moment is not easy to predict.
In the meantime, Washington has become a lunatic asylum so I'm not going to criticize the few sane people, almost all Democrats, who are trying to deal with an impossible situation. A real solution to the current crisis would require enough votes to overcome Bush's veto. Since a sizable proportion of House Republicans are stark raving mad and are perfectly willing to hold our economy hostage out of sheer spite, or because Gingrich said so or because Pelosi hurt their feelings, the Democrats are probably going to have to hold their nose on a ugly compromise of some sort just so we can reach next February with the economy reasonably intact. Here's some useful perspective from The Mahablog:
...from what I have read a large majority agree that the Administration's basic approach is deeply flawed.No one should forget that this is Bush's bill offered just weeks before an election. Bush is, after all, the leader of the Republican Party and ought to be able to get his party to go along. His heir-apparent, John McCain also supports the bailout, or so he says when he isn't talking about how strong the economy is or how he needs to suspend his campaign so he can get his photo op at the White House. And needless to say McCain too is having trouble getting his party to go along. Do we really want these same Republicans back in January with McCain as president? S.W. Anderson of Oh!Pinion summarizes the situation rather well:
However, Congress more or less tweaked Paulson's approach rather than try something completely different. They improved it mightily, according to many. But my understanding is that the smarter people in Congress figured the more conservative members would dismiss the smart approach outright. So instead of the best bill, they put together the best bill they thought they could sell to the right-wing troglodytes in the House.
And it still didn't pass.
As Paul Krugman and others say, probably all that can be done now is to patch something together that will keep the economy limping along until a new administration and Congress is sworn in. And pray that will be an Obama administration, because McCain clearly is out of his depth on this issue and will be no better, possibly worse, than Bush.
So, the feeling among Pelosi and House Democrats yesterday was that if Republicans wanted a bailout, they should vote in substantial numbers to pass it, making the effort clearly bipartisan.
As the vote was held, Democrats saw many Republicans weren't up for that. So, seeing no reason to stick their own necks out when Republicans wouldn't, more and more Democrats voted against the bill as well. Thus, the defeat.
Today, House Democrats and Republicans are said to be working for a revised version of the bill, one that will attract the dozen or more additional votes needed to pass it.
House Democrats should explain their refusal to go out on a limb to benefit the Bush administration and Republican colleagues unwilling to do their own part.
House Republicans should put up or shut up.

Some academic paleontologists are concerned that scientifically significant fossil specimens, held in private hands, may become inaccessible to researchers. Many mainstream paleontological journals do not publish on privately held specimens for these reasons.
This month, a new online journal called the "Journal of Paleontological Sciences" (JPS) is scheduled to be released that addresses the concerns of academia, helps bridge the gap between private and public paleontologists and allows for the publication of privately held fossil specimens.
The journal and its associated website are sponsored by the Association of Applied Paleontological Sciences (AAPS) (formerly, The American Association of Paleontological Suppliers), a group of several hundred members from around the world who deal in commercial and amateur paleontology.
The website is free of charge and open to anyone interested in fossils. It will have several sections including a specimen registry where significant fossils and their important contextual information can be recorded, tracked and viewed by researchers and enthusiasts. It will also have a photographic image registry where images of privately held fossil specimens may be downloaded. This type of registry has never been available before.
The journal section of the website will publish scientific articles in all aspects of paleontology. Each manuscript will be professionally peer-reviewed by two reviewers from a pool of over 20 academic paleontologists enlisted to help ensure quality. Manuscripts which base their conclusions on privately held specimens are carefully scrutinized and there are strict rules regarding future accessibility to the fossils.
At the end of each year, journal articles deemed to be of the highest significance will be published in an annual printed edition available for a small fee. The journals new website can be found at http://www.aaps-journal.org.
This should raise a ruckus….

Atlantium: Cleaning The Big Fish Bowl
If you are a lazy TreeHugger (like some of us) and eat unidentified fish sticks once and awhile, it might be good news to hear that there are companies working to make fish farms a little bit cleaner. Enter Atlantium. The Israeli-based company has developed a UV filter system already in use in Turkey to decrease the need for nasty fish antibiotics by about 90 percent.Atlantium's rep Larry writes TreeHugger: "Atlantium has invented something called Hydro-Optic disinfection, leveraging physics/hydro-optics and ultraviolet technology. Where regular, old-fashioned UV technology provided inconsistant results, Hydro-Optic disinfection kills microbes at >log 5, which essentially means that the system provides sterilized water."
One Atlantium client, Pinar, the largest food conglomerate in Turkey, says Larry, replaced 75 regular UV bulbs with a single Atlantium system in one of its fish hatcheries, increasing production of the two types of fish they grow by 50 and 100 percent, while reducing antibiotic use by 90 percent. Maintenance was reduced from 30 hours to less than one hour per month with hardly any downtime, all of which lead to significantly increased profits.
Tnuva, the largest dairy in the Middle East and an Atlantium client, has purchased two new units: one to act as a firewall for all process water entering their plant, and a second which is earmarked to replace pasteurizaion. See CNet story.
According to a story by Israel21c, Atlantium's UV-filter is ideal for cleaning up the aftermath left by natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina.
The company's approach, says Israel21c is different from the one used by traditional UV disinfection systems which have the source of the UV light in the water itself- an undesirable method for several reasons: the mercury which is used to generate the UV light could be dangerous if it leaks, and also the light source may heat the water slightly, which causes deposits to form in the water.
Atlantium's solution keeps the light source out of the water, and has a unique way of manipulating the UV light, which results in high disinfection rates. The water flows through Atlantium's specially-designed pipe, with the UV light source at one end behind a window made of quartz. The UV light is reflected through the window onto the water as it passes, without the need for the water flow to be stopped.
Clean water is needed by many industries, not just for the water that comes out of your faucet, says Israel21c. :: Atlantium :: Israel21c

Pride of Wales Tartan Ribbon
Pride of Wales Tartan Ribbon
Pride of Wales Tartan Ribbon (proper name, if slightly confusing, is "Pride of Scotland (Wales) Tartan Ribbon") is one of a range of 11 tartans designed by a top Scottish highlandwear company, keen to promote new tartans aimed at the kilt hire market. Each tartan in the range is called Pride of Scotland, followed by the variant name - in this case "Wales". The Pride of Wales Tartan Ribbon features the red of Welsh dragon, with the black representing the Welsh mountains and the country's proud mining heritage.
I M P O R T A N T . . . some confusion has been caused because of the name registered for this tartan. This particular tartan has been successfully registered with the Scottish Tartans Authority as "Pride of Wales" but is not the same as the Pride of Wales tartan offered by the Welsh Tartan Centre.
The Pride of Wales tartan offered by the Welsh Tartan Centre is not produced in ribbon although we hope they will agree to us producing this popular tartan in ribbon before too long. In the meantime, for an alternative to the Pride of Wales offered by Welsh Tartan Centre, please click here. It may be worth taking a few seconds to check this, so that you know you're ordering the correct version of Pride of Wales Tartan Ribbon.
Pride of Wales Tartan Ribbon is available to buy in 10mm (3/8"), 16mm (5/8") and 25mm (1") widths on 25 metre (approx 27½ yard) reels in 5m (5½yd) top-up packs. The Pride of Wales Tartan Ribbon sold by tartan-ribbon.com is top quality, authentic tartan ribbon as certified by the Scottish Tartans Authority.
As always, we are happy to offer FREE worldwide shipping on all orders.
5m (5½yd) top-up packs are also available with FREE worldwide shipping, but please note 25m reels are by far the best value.
As you will see, the prices of all Pride of Scotland Tartan Ribbon are considerably higher than most other tartan ribbon. This has to do with licensing arrangements and the price set by the manufacturers and is, unfortunately, outwith our control. We believe our Pride of Wales Tartan Ribbon is the most competitively priced you'll find but, where possible, we have also shown better priced alternatives. Welsh tartans tend to be a mixture of family tartans (in the Scottish tradition) and county tartans (the Irish tradition), so it be a case of where you come from as much as what your name is. Welsh tartans were not catalogued or registered to the same degree as Scottish tartans, so it unlikely that many modern Welsh tartans can claim accurate descent from the more ancient Welsh tartans.
The existence of Welsh tartans reinforces the fact that there was a common, shared Celtic culture between the peoples of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and other parts of Northern Europe.

ExFAT project member Andrew Nayenko has released version 1.0.0 of fuse-exfat, a filesystem driver that can read and write to Microsoft's exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table) filesystem. Like the Ntfs-3G NTFS driver that is used in Linux distributions, the exFAT driver is based on FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) and works under Linux as well as OS X. In a short test with Fedora 18, reading from and writing to a USB flash drive that was freshly formatted with exFAT worked fine.
The exfat-fuse driver took three years of development time and nine beta versions to reach version 1.0.0...Read more at The H

- "I've counted the ceiling tiles 13 times already. There's 1,678. You hear me? 1,678!"
"The Break In" is the very first episode of Recess ever. It featured in the first season that was first broadcast on September 13th, 1997. However, a sneak peek was shown on August 31st, 1997. It was also the name of the pilot episode of Recess.
T.J. Detweiler is punished with no recess after an unsuccessful attempt of his gang to raid the kitchen's "good food"; seeing how deranged he has become, the rest of his friends try to break him out by enlisting the help of the other students on the playground.
The show starts with lunch, which is an inedible and volatile Tomato Surprise, a boy named T.J. Detweiler decides to try and get to the good food kept in one of the freezers in the kitchen before the cafeteria. However, he is caught by a teacher named Miss Muriel P. Finster and is punished with no recess. T.J.'s gang hears the news and convinces people throughout the school to help save him.
Their quest leads them to King Robert (Bob), who is the king of the playground. King Bob calls T.J. "some dumb kid". A tomboy named Ashley Spinelli then gives a speech, calling everyone including King Bob "some dumb kid". King Bob then decides that "the dumb kid should be free" and mobilizes his entire dominion (Third Street School) to work together to break in and save T.J..
However, T.J. has already busted himself out by then. Moreover, just as he whoops in celebration, he finds out that the gang is in the lunchroom (where he was being held captive). Unfortunately, recess time is up, and T.J. yells in despair, though he praises the gang's efforts nonetheless. The gang consists of people such as Ashley Spinelli, Vince LaSalle, Gretchen Grundler, and Mikey Blumberg.
- Vince Lasalle: Poor TJ. He's really losin' it in there.
- Mikey Blumberg: A kid without recess? It's too horrible for words!
- Ashley Spinelli: Well, I say we go in there and bust him out!
- Gretchen Grundler: An admirable suggestion, Spinelli, but any escape attempt has a 70% likelihood of failure.
- Mikey Blumberg: (after some thinking) Wait! I got an idea! Let's go ask the Guru Kid!
- Coloring error: When T.J. and Spinelli first come out from under the table in the beginning of this episode, Spinelli's lips briefly turn the same color as her skin.
- Animation/audio error: When the Diggers appear for the first time, Dave is talking to the rest of the four main characters, however, the animation shows Sam talking.
- Animation error: When Gretchen first shows the aluminum foil to the Kindergartners, it has a shiny, "glow" effect on it. When the Kindergartners begin chasing them, the "glow" is gone.
- Animation error: When the doors to the kitchen are first shown, there are no signs on them. When the gang approach them, they have "DO NOT ENTER" signs on each of them.
- Dubbing error: In the French dub, the "DO NOT ENTER" signs are left in English when they're first shown, but right before the camera pans to T.J., the signs are re-written in French. When T.J. goes through the doors, they're back in English.
- Dubbing error: In the French dub, the sign on the refrigerator that says, "THE GOOD FOOD" is translated in French when it's first shown, however, right after T.J. touches it, it's back in English.
- The clip with the Kindergarteners using a rope to climb into the school was reused for the introduction of every episode.
- Gus does not appear in this episode. He makes his first appearance in the next episode, making this episode and The Great Jungle Gym Standoff the only episodes where Gus does not make an appearance.
- This episode marks the first appearances of Miss Finster, Randall, Guru Kid, Swinger Girl, Upside-down Girl, The Diggers, King Bob, Cornchip Girl and the Kindergardeners.
- When the kids are working together to break T.J. out of the cafeteria, the theme song to the series is played.
- This episode is included as a bonus on the DVD of Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade, and as a bonus on the Finnish VHS and DVD copy of Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
- On the official One Saturday Morning Recess website, an audio clip of T.J. saying "Cover me, I'm going in" was included on T.J.'s character page, and video clips of Vince saying that a kid needs finesse to speak to someone of King Bob's stature, Spinelli telling King Bob that technically everyone is "Some dumb kid", and Gretchen trying to distract the Kindergarteners were put on the character pages for Vince, Spinelli, and Gretchen respectively. The video clips were later put on the Toon Disney website when Recess joined the lineup in 2003.
- This episode was adapted into chapter book form for the book One Saturday Morning: Without Friends, You're Nothing in 1999, along with stories based on Disney's Doug and Pepper Ann.
- This is the first time T.J. gets a detention.
- The Tomato Surprise was so hot it melted metal a kid could have died eating it.
Production Information
- This was the pilot episode for the series created in 1996 to get the show on the air, but was redone with different character designs for the series proper. The pilot was not shown to the general public, however, clips of it were included in an ABC Saturday Mornings promo (With 101 Dalmatians: The Series) on the 1997 VHS releases of 101 Dalmatians (1996) and Doug's Birthday Blues. Clips were also shown in station IDs for certain ABC stations.
- In the original recording for this episode, T.J.'s name was P.J. Right before the pilot was animated, it was re-recorded due to his name changing.
- This and "The New Kid" are the only Recess episodes to premiere in prime-time.
- When this episode and "The New Kid" were shown on August 31, 1997 as a sneak peek in primetime, the episodes were shown in the opposite order.
- Not every ABC affiliate aired the sneak peek, due to some stations still broadcasting news about Princess Diana's death.
- This episode was part of the debut of Disney's One Saturday Morning, along with the Pepper Ann episode "Ziterella".
- This episode along with "The New Kid" were the only episodes written by Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere, the show's creators.
- This is the first appearance of the dish "Tomato Surprise;" it appeared again in the episode "The Terrifying Tales of Recess"
- The "Good Food" refrigerator makes its first appearance; it appeared again in the episode "The Girl Was Trouble"
