Here's a quick look back at some of the highlights of what we did in 2013. In Facebook terms you might call this the PCGraphics Timeline for 2013.
January 2013
Maps of Torquay, Brixham and Paignton in Devon, UK, produced for a marketing company. Created from scratch and based on Ordnance Survey data.
Wasted our time producing this A4 map of London for another marketing company (serving the luxury hotel industry) who requested this map then changed their minds after we'd produced it. Which is why we now nearly always ask for money upfront with new clients – saves dealing with time wasters.
A simple but nice little map of Henley on Thames produced for a publisher of historical books – one of many maps we've produced over the years for this client. Again, based on Ordnance Survey material.
In March we produced a series of 7 maps showing the location of artistic venues for Isle of Wight Arts.
A map of Cowes and East Cowes created for the ferry company Red Funnel and displayed at the ferry terminal.
Perhaps not the most visually exciting map that we've produced but then, considering the subject, maybe it's right not to be. This map plots the route taken by 1500 Prisoners of War in 1945 from Poland to Berlin, with approximately half the journey made on foot. The book is called The Long Road, by Oliver Clutton-Brock.
One of probably hundreds of maps produced over the years for one of our most valued clients for use in their travel brochures and website. This particular example being an overview map of China.
Seamus takes a leap into the pool during a well earned holiday in the sun in Menorca.
We update around 17 maps for Helpful Holidays on an annual basis around August time.
In September we started a series of walk maps which are produced at A1 size, encapsulated in clear acrylic sheets and wall mounted at Health Centres around the UK. We have been busy creating these from September through till December.
Map of Rhodes produced for another long term client. We're fortunate to have worked with a number of clients over a long period of time. We still have clients today who we first worked with soon after we started PCGraphics back in 1998.
Still working on the series of walk maps for UK Heath Centres.
Work starts on a new title for Ocean Explorer Maps – another valued client we've worked with for many years. Work in progress at the moment, more details to come soon.
And that, folks, was 2013. Let's all hope that 2014 is equally as good.

Personally I voted for Ron Paul in the primary, though I have not really seen that he actually accomplished much of anything while in office. It is rather common with primary elections for a lot of people to be disappointed. We need to learn to handle disapointment like any other appointment.
We really have only one choice for POTUS. We need to learn "hold your nose voting" as it is a case of Islamic socialism vs Capitalism
There is much not to like about Mitt Romney. Actually I find his RINO voting record of far greater concern than the fact that he is in a false-christian cult, but he is headed to no different lake of fire than any of the major trinity cults; he is, however, a real American.
Hussein Obama on the other hand is a foreign born, islam raised, a traitor, a fraud, a racist, a socialist/communist and an enemy of the United States with known connections to other known enemies of the United States.
There is some stuff at http://www.barrysoetoro.net and there is other stuff at http://www.mormongods.com including the question of why if they follow Moroni that they are called Mormons instead of Morons. The major contrast I notice is the islamic open war against civilization and attacks on the United States while the Mormons, in spite of an occasional annoying visit are known mostly for community service and singing together.
It looks like we have a choice between voting for a slightly weird weak friend or a wicked hardened islamo/communist enemy of the USA to run our country.
Those who would vote for anyone other than Romney and/or leading others to do so are serving Obama and should really research the term "useful idiots" as it has appeared in history. There was a lot of very real injustice and things very wrong that created the support for Hitler.
Brethren, I emplore you. Don't be STUPID!!! Don't work for Hussein Obama! Don't work for Hussein Obama by undermining Mitt Romney! Don't be a useful idiot like those who threw away their vote on Ross Perot! REALITY TIME!!! We have a two party system at this point in history. If the conservative vote can be split then an enemy of the United States may well be re-elected president.

Red vein kratom is identified as one among the most required varieties of kratom because of its numerous benefits. These strains consist of huge medicinal effects. People take these strains for getting relief from pain besides getting some type of relaxation and sedation effects. Due to these impacts, these strains are hugely taken by people who are suffering from different kinds of pain and even by those who look forward to getting a soothing mood improvement,particularly atdusks and nights. Red veins are available in almost all kinds of kratom; Borneo, Indo, Thai and Malaysian.
This variety of kratom is also called Red Thai and based on red vein kratom review thiskratom hasn't got huge energizing effects like the green vein components but its impacts do last longer. There are some stores that do sell the green variety but most of the sellers sell the red strain. These types of kratom products do have one common feature; they all originate from the trees having reddish veins and stems. The shade of the central vein is decided by the existence of various chemicals in this tree. According to numerous kratom farmers,the red-veined plants tend to be stronger and they have a higher harvest in the climates of Southeast Asia.
Buying this compound
You can buy this compound in the form of capsules, crushed leaves or powders from the internet from different retailers. This compound is a little more expensive compared to other products and the difference lies only in amounts to two dollars/ounce. When you decide to buy this medication, you can visit www.coastlinekratom.com. This site is dependable and sells nothing short of the superior quality kratoms. Besides, this company provides lucrative offers too, like money-back guarantee and free US shipping. The products are reasonably priced too.
Recommended dosages
The suggested dosage for this kratom is somewhere between 2 and 8 gm daily. This compound in lower dosages too can uplift the levels of drive, motivation, mental energy, and alertness. For these impacts, this compound is often compared to coffee even though the energy of this kratom is smoother and long-lasting compared to caffeine. Countless users use this product for getting improved stamina when they try to cope with demanding jobs. Very seldom users report of anxiety and restlessness. However, if you experience any negative impacts of this medication, you can take a smaller dosage or you can also mix several strains together.
According to red vein kratom review, this compound does have calming and soothing effects to overcome stress, mood disorders, depression, and anxiety a dosage between 4 and 8 gm daily is suggested for these purposes. This dosing level is anesthetizing and does provide a sense of tranquillity and comfort. When taken at 4 gm, this medication is highly uplifting and it can cause euphoric feelings. When a user takes this medication in 8 gm then it turns out to be a powerful pain reliever which binds straightto opiate receptors. However, the larger dosage should only be taken for a brief period of time.

For the longest time Major League Baseball did not take itself seriously when it came to marketing. They did not realize what a cash cow they had on their hands. In fact for the longest time they would outsource and have others make their products. They would take a percentage of the sale.
This seemed good for Major League Baseball except that many times inferior products would get in the marketplace carrying their name. This hurt sales of MLB products and Major League Baseball knew something had to be done.
Major League Baseball is one of the most popular sports, but knew they had an untapped industry they were sitting on. The problem they had was how to best go about it. Major League Baseball decided that the best way was to market their own product and give it their own name. People would buy products that were approved by Major League Baseball much quicker than something that was not.
Once Major League Baseball started put their own logos on their products a new industry was created. MLB went from a sport to an industry virtually in no time at all. People wanted these official products from Major League Baseball from caps to shirts and everything in-between. If it had the Major League Logo on it people wanted it. Baseball had hit a home run and they knew it.
Merchandise sales continue to rise even today. Major League Baseball understands that the game of baseball is still the main attraction, but the industry they have created must also be maintained. MLB does not endorse every product that comes along who wants to use their logo. There is a process that you must go through to be approved.
If you do become a part of the Major League Baseball merchandise family you will see consistent sales from it. Baseball is the National pastime and that will not change anytime soon. Cheering for your favorite baseball team means you will need some merchandise and MLB is happy to give it to you. MLB when from a sport to an industry and they have no plans to turn back right now.

I made mine explode 5 times and then wondered what I was going to do with this block.
I always find that it is easier to make several blocks rather
than just one at a time so I made 4 of them.
I added the green borders and made them into placemats.
These will go to Meals on Wheels. I hope someone else
enjoys them as much I do.

Adam to Abraham
"Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam" (Luke 3:34-38 RSV)
The Family of Terah
"When Nahor had lived twenty-nine years, he became the father of Terah; and Nahor lived after the birth of Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and had other sons and daughters."
"When Terah had lived seventy years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran."
"Now these are the descendants of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot. Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans. And Abram and Nahor took wives; the name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah. Now Sarai was barren; she had no child."
"Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran, they settled there. The days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran." (Genesis 11:24-32 RSV)
From Idol Worshippers To The Chosen People
"Thus says The Lord [see Rock Of Ages], the God of Israel, 'Your fathers lived of old beyond the Euphrates, Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and they served other gods. Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River and led him through all the land of Canaan, and made his offspring many. I gave him Isaac; and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave Esau the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt."
"And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt [see The Ten Plagues] with what I did in the midst of it; and afterwards I brought you out. Then I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea. And when they cried to The Lord, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea come upon them and cover them [see Where Did They Cross The Sea? and Is This How The Red Sea Parted?]; and your eyes saw what I did to Egypt; and you lived in the wilderness a long time [see Wilderness Journey]."
"Then I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan; they fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, and you took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you. Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel; and he sent and invited Balaam the son of Beor to curse you, but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you; so I delivered you out of his hand."
"And you went over the Jordan and came to Jericho, and the men of Jericho fought against you [see The Fall Of Jericho], and also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I gave them into your hand. And I sent the hornet [see Old Testament Aircraft?] before you, which drove them out before you, the two kings of the Amorites; it was not by your sword or by your bow. I gave you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you had not built, and you dwell therein; you eat the fruit of vineyards and oliveyards which you did not plant.'"
"Now therefore fear The Lord, and serve Him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve The Lord." (Joshua 24:2-14 RSV)

Yamaha RS200
Here's a rare one! This Yamaha RS200 was purchased by Steve Cooper, complete but totally worn
out and seized. The model was originally designed forNigeriaand features Yamaha RD125 type frame, 17" wheels, a single carb and a single seat. The rack is
a standard Yamaha fitment. Surprisingly the engine is as good if not better than the equivalent RD200 and
returns better fuel economy. Apparently the piston ported motor benefits from Yamaha's motocross knowledge. The only down
side is the single leading shoe front brake which can be a little marginal when the bike is ridden

Social media should be a key component of higher education institutions' minority recruitment strategies, according to a new report.
A survey of 5,580 college-bound students reveals that underrepresented student groups are more likely than their counterparts to rely on social media such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram to learn about colleges.
These student groups are also more likely to interact with colleges and universities on social media throughout their college search, according to the survey by Royall & Company, a division of EAB.
The survey found that underrepresented students were more likely to initially learn about a school on social media than their counterparts.
"Social media continues to play an important role in college-bound students' lives, and the college search process is no exception, especially with first-generation, low-income, and minority students," said Pamela Kiecker Royall, Ph.D., head of research at Royall & Company.

Does a fish know that he's wet?
Fish don't think about being wet. But when you take them out of the water and put them onto the boat, they know that they're not in the same environment they were in before. Only when they leave the water do they understand the significance of being wet. Like fish, a lot of us are completely immersed in our culture and don't realize it. While living in water is vital for fish, immersion in our culture can blind us to the truth of God's Word. Only when we get into Scripture and understand a biblical worldview can we look back at where we were and realize the environment we were in. Here are four ways to "dry off" and start proclaiming the truth of God's Word to the culture.
#1–Know the Bible
Drying off begins with the Bible–understanding what it says, getting into the Word and getting the Word into us. All Scripture is breathed out by God, the Bible says, and is profitable for rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly furnished for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17). This means there's nothing to which we will be called for which Scripture does not equip us.
We need to read the Bible, study it and memorize it. If we don't understand what God has said, we'll operate from our default position, which is the cultural worldview we've been inundated with.
#2–Understand How the Bible Dictates the Way to Live
Next, we must understand how the Bible undergirds our lives, our culture–all of reality–and how biblical truth informs a biblical worldview. We can't have a dichotomy of sacred and secular, where on Sundays we apply biblical truth, but Monday through Saturday we function like everybody else.
We tend to be very selective in the way that we apply Scripture; we adopt the cultural mindset and not a scriptural mindset. For example, I was preaching once at a prominent church in the South, and a woman came up to me afterward, sobbing. I prepared myself because this looked heavy; she was dealing with something. I told her to take a deep breath and asked her how I could pray for her.
She could barely get the words out: "It's my son."
I said, "Wow. What is it?"
"He's getting married."
I paused, then asked, "To a Christian girl?" I kept asking questions and, from what I gathered, a believer had found a believer whom he wanted to marry. Then the woman let the other shoe drop. "He's not finished with college."
I waited, but that was it. That was the big "I need to come and have you pray for me because my life's falling apart" moment.
Why is this such a big deal? Where did we get the idea that a young man or a young woman's college education is more important than their marriage? And what do we communicate by affirming that?
I said, "Ma'am, let me understand. You'd rather have your son wait for another year and a half or two years before he moves forward with this, right?"
"Yes," she said.
"But he loves this woman enough to ask her to marry him?"
I said, "Do you realize that the wisest men, the strongest men and the most godly men in the Bible all fell to sexual sin? Unless you think your son is wiser than Solomon, stronger than Samson and more godly than David, let him get married."
She looked at me as if she'd never considered that. It never occurred to her because of the unwritten rule that you've got to have a diploma in hand before you marry.
Marriage is an area where our mindset is often cultural and not very biblical. Many people can't give you book, chapter and verse for what the Bible says about marriage. Most of the decisions that we make in this area come from what we've adapted to in our culture. We must understand what Scripture says above all else, and then we have to apply biblical truth to marriage and every other area of life. We need a full-orbed biblical worldview.
And this starts at home. Right now, only 20 percent of people in their 20s still maintain the level of church attendance, Bible reading and prayer that they had in their teens.
We don't connect the dots. The No. 1 shaper of worldview is education. Secular humanism is the dominant worldview in education, politics and the media. Most Christian parents attended public schools and they send their children to public schools. Chances are that they and their children's worldview is going to be secular humanism.
Luke 6:40 says, "A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher" (NIV). Our children spend 14,000 hours in school. We're not going to overcome that by a few minutes a week at home. There's no such thing as a neutral education, and we have to understand the implications.
#3–Observe the Culture
Third, we need to learn how to analyze our culture critically. As we look at what the culture says and what the culture does, we must analyze it piece by piece; then we will discover the foundations upon which the people of our culture build their actions and attitudes.
As we analyze our culture from a biblical perspective, we'll realize that we still have things we need to be rid of and that this will put us at odds with many in the Christian community. Studies show that less than 10 percent of Christians are actually operating from a biblical worldview, so when we begin to operate this way, the first place we'll feel isolated is in church. Irony of ironies. When we become committed to biblical truth in the midst of a church community that hasn't gone through those first two steps, we begin to see incredible biblical illiteracy and, therefore, few people who have a biblical worldview. They can't analyze the culture because they are completely immersed in it.
#4–Bridging the Gap With Our Culture
We're not here to heap condemnation on our culture but to speak truth to it and love it. That can be a hard balance to strike. We need to speak truth, but not in a way that's hurtful, demeaning and disrespectful to those around us. That would be like screaming at the fish, "Why are you wet?!"
As the Apostle Peter says, we must always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks us to give the reason for the hope that we have. But we must do this with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). There's a way to be winsome without tickling ears or compromising.
Not long after I had come to faith, as a college student living off campus, I had an experience with two guys who came to my door wanting to talk to me about the Lord. At first, I was like, "Man, that's awesome. You guys are going door to door talking to people." But then I realized something was not quite right, though I wasn't sure what it was. After they left I researched the literature they had given me.
When they came back, I was ready, and I hammered them. "I know who you are. I know what you represent, and I know what you believe. Here's where you're wrong, here's what the Bible says." I let them have it, up one side and down the other. The next day I couldn't wait to tell my Christian friends what happened. I told them how I blasted these guys. After most of my friends left, one of them said, "Voddie, do you think they're going to come back?" I said, "No way." He smiled, stood up and walked away. I knew exactly why he asked me that. I had spoken the truth, but not in love. I was proud of the fact that I had demeaned these guys. I won the argument, but not the men. I pray I will never forget that.
We may offend someone in an evangelistic conversation and think, "Hey, I did what I was supposed to." Maybe. But were you winsome? God may put us in conversations with people who, having been accosted by Christians before, have already made up their minds about us. We can dismantle their conclusions. But we won't be able to do this unless we take the time to hear them out.
Sharing 'Our Story': A Warning
In learning how to communicate effectively, we've gotten into shaky territory. Our culture is mired in relativism, so we understand that many believe that what's true for me is not necessarily true for you; experience trumps everything. Because of this, we've emphasized the importance of sharing our story: "When you talk to people, don't just give them information," we say. "Give them your story, because that's what resonates with them."
On the one hand, that's true. But on the other hand, because they've bought into relativism, they hear our story and say, "Oh, that's wonderful. I'm so glad you found something that works for you." And that's the end of "our story."
Unbelievers are legitimately happy for us because we've found something that works for us, but they don't make the connection that they need to put their trust in Christ, as we have. Our story is rooted in biblical truth, and theirs is rooted in personal experience.
I sit down with students on college campuses and ask questions like this: "Your source of authority is yourself, but think about who you were four years ago, before you came to college. Would you trust that person today?" They say no. "Now, think about who you will be four years from now. Do you think that you'll trust that person then?" Well, probably not, they say. "But you trust him now?"
That's what happens when we are our own source of authority–and the danger that we fall into when we become enamored with our own story. Prayerfully, I'll be better tomorrow than I am today, but when I trust in myself, and when my experience is my sole source of authority, I trust a moving target because I'm not going to be the same person tomorrow that I am today. We have to help people who are mired in relativism to understand that.
The reality of all this has changed the way I tell my story. The high points I emphasize are not just the experiential areas. I talk about who I was, and how I was a person who believed in and relied on myself. When I came to faith in Christ, I came to faith in Someone eternal, unchangeable, immovable–that becomes my story. Not just, "I had an experience that makes me feel better." No, I came to faith in the God of the universe. He's not going anywhere. He's my Rock. And even though I grow and change, He won't.
Speaking the Language of the Cross
We have to be wise in understanding our culture when we tell our stories. Are we here to win an argument or to win the man? If we're here to win the man, we'd better get to know him. I think many of us, when we have a conversation with people, look right through them: "I'm not listening to what you're saying. I'm waiting for the next opening, so that I can get in my prepared line."
When we analyze our culture, we understand our culture. The beautiful thing is that because we were all created by Christ and for Christ, none of us will ever be satisfied until we come to Christ. We just have to help people understand where the flaws are in the culture and that the answer is always Jesus. We have to understand the language that the culture is speaking so that we can communicate.
I don't mean we can't use "religious" language. I reject that wholeheartedly. Parents who have their little girls in ballet don't go to the ballet teacher and say, "Why do you say plié? Come on, let's use some more contemporary language." No, they make the child learn the language. And parents don't go to the baseball coach and say, "Why do you refer to the player on first base, second base, third base? Let's just talk about 'the guy over there.'" They make their child learn the language of the sport. I refuse to respect the language of Zion less than I respect the language of ballet or baseball. People need to know what atonement is. Do I need to define that and explain it? You'd better believe I do, because I'm not giving up that word. I'm not giving up salvation either, and I'm not even giving up propitiation. When we begin to give up those words, we'll begin to compromise their meanings. Our job is not to replace the language of Scripture, but to understand it and the person well enough to communicate it in a way he or she will understand.
Presenting the Gospel
Before I share the Gospel with you, I want to know you first, so I'm going to ask questions about who you are. When I hear an accent, I may ask what part of the country you're from. People answer that question by telling me how they grew up, their family background, and their religious background–if they grew up going to church and if they're still going to church. All from, "Hey, what accent is that I hear?"
Using questions is an effective approach to evangelism, because people love to talk about themselves more than anything else. People have a philosophy of life, and they want to tell it. If someone is not a Christ-follower, his or her philosophy of life will have holes, so I'm going to pay attention and find those holes.
When a person tells me he believes that all roads lead to God, I say, "That's interesting. My mother was a Buddhist, and Buddhists don't believe in a god. Worshiping the God of the Bible is absolutely not the same as worshiping Buddha, because God is a theistic being, an intelligent, necessary Sustainer of the universe. So, I'm wondering how you've come to the conclusion that we all worship the same God when, in my mother's case, she didn't believe in a god at all."
That person has to acknowledge a hole in his life philosophy.
Almost every time I speak at a college campus, students ask me this question: "Why Christianity? With so many religions, how can you possibly say that yours is right?"
I use this illustration: A policeman comes on the scene of an accident and sees the skid marks, two cars, the carnage and three witnesses standing around. He talks to witness No. 1, who is the person in the car behind the accident and gets one story. He talks to witness No. 2, who was actually standing on the street and saw the accident. He talks to witness No. 3, who had another vantage point. All three witnesses tell a different story. The policeman has two choices: He can compare the witnesses' stories against what he sees to try to determine what happened, or he can say that with all these different perspectives, there must not have been an accident.
This helps students start to see the need to explore. I say, let's examine each religion and, based on where the evidence leads us, see what fits the evidence best. Let's not just give up. Would your science professor let you do that? Let's not give up. Let's search.
Our goal is not just to point out where the culture is wrong. Our goal is to help others–believers and unbelievers–to "dry off" from the culture they've been immersed in" and show them how to develop a biblical worldview.

Category: Damp and Damp Proofing > DIY and Home Improvement > House and Home
Many people write into our forum asking what causes damp in their homes
Causes of Damp
If you have a cavity wall there is a chance that damp on an internal wall is caused by a breach of the cavity.
This can happen for several reasons:
Diagnosing Damp
Symptoms you may notice are discoloured paintwork, black mould growth, flaking plaster, plaster 'blowing' or lifting away form the wall, or a white powdery substance caused by 'salts' leaching out of the plaster.
If you suspect you have a problem, you should use a damp meter to be sure that the area is actually damp, before taking further action.

Treating Damp
Treatment of the problem will depend on the cause, and so it is vital that you have found the cause of the damp problem before you start treatment, in order that treatment can be effective.
When we have lots of questions on a particular home improvement problem we write a project about it, for our project section to explain the causes and the solutions.
To find out more about how to diagnose and solve problems with damp in cavity walls please head over to our projects section.
If the problem you are experiencing is not covered in the projects section then do please place your query in our forum.

text: The first of this week's double portion opens with instructions to the Israelites regarding the birth of a baby. The authors argue that in the Bible, as in mainstream thinking today, a baby is either a boy or a girl–and that this is not true. One out of every one to two thousand infants are born intersex. Today, we confront those who don't "fit" and endeavor to change them. In Antiquity, our rabbis took people as they really were and went on from there. As Jews, our sacred tradition provides us with both the resources and the mandate to begin to transform our culture to better reflect the diversity of real bodies.

On the heels of my last post about using the game Man Bites Dog as a tool for writers comes this: Machine of Death: The Game of Creative Assassination. If you read many webcomics, you've probably run across Wondermark, by David Malki! once or twice; you may even read it regularly. You may also have heard about the anthology Machine of Death, which topped the Amazon charts a couple of years ago. It's a collection of stories based around the idea of a machine that can accurately predict your death but often has a twisted sense of humor–you might, for instance, get the prediction "Free Falling" and attempt to cheat the machine by never again flying, only to be trampled to death by concert-goers during Tom Petty's classic.I could try to tell you all about the game that's being made based on this premise, but I've never played the thing, so I'll let the game's creators, who have actually played the game, tell you more (I was trying to embed the video, but after working for half an hour, I've decided that it's just not worth it–WordPress.com, take note).
The game has already funded at this point, so there's no risk of being disappointed that the thing doesn't fund. Just put down your money to help make the game even more awesome.
Note: I am in no way affiliated with this project. I am not getting anything by plugging the project here other than any additional stretch goals that get unlocked if any of you help overfund the game. I have put my money where my mouth is and helped back this game because, seriously, it looks awesome.

5 Corn
Don't despair if you truly love grilled corn on the cob on a summer afternoon. It can, after all, be a healthy part of your diet. Just don't load it up with butter and salt. Corn is a starchy type of vegetable that gives you about 3 grams of fiber and nearly 5 grams of protein from just 1 cup. Need more reasons to get another spoonful of corn? You'll even get a bunch of potassium; vitamin A for healthy eyes; and antioxidants, such as lutein, zeaxanthin and selenium, to keep you healthy.
4 Quinoa
Quinoa is often served as a grain, but it's actually a starchy type of seed that is cooked and served hot like rice. It is one of the most beneficial types of starchy foods because of the amount of protein you gain from one steamy side—more than 8 grams of protein in a 1-cup prepared portion. As an added bonus, quinoa has lots of bone-strengthening minerals, including calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
3 Oatmeal
Oats give you phosphorus for strong bones, a slew of B vitamins and even a touch of iron for oxygen transportation in your blood. But not all types of oatmeal are particularly healthy, and it's not a matter of instant versus whole oats. Instant oats are whole grains that are pressed in a way to make them cook more quickly. Flavored varieties are the problem, because they are full of unnecessarily large amounts of sugar. Whether you are always on the go and need instant oats that cook fast or prefer the texture of steel-cut oats, keep oatmeal as healthy as possible by opting for a plain variety. Pile on fresh berries and honey for flavor.
2 Whole-Grain or Multigrain Bread
All breads have starch, but not all breads are created equal. If it's fluffy and tastes like white bread even though the wrapper says "wheat," it's most likely heavily processed and relatively low in fiber. True whole-grain and multigrain breads are dense, list some kind of grain as a top ingredient and have plenty of fiber. Some varieties have more than 2 grams of fiber per slice—2.5 times as much fiber as processed breads.
1 Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are a hidden source of several B vitamins—folate, choline, B-6, riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic acid—that work together to jump-start your metabolism. Sweet potatoes are also jam-packed with potassium, even more than bananas. Potassium is the electrolyte mineral that helps your body maintain a steady fluid level, a necessary function for making your heartbeat. A medium 4-ounce sweet potato gives you more than 10 percent of your potassium requirement for the entire day.

Nobody Wants To Look Like Perez Hilton
And can you really blame them? Apparantly Perezzer's line for Hot Topic was met with slim interest at the launch of the line yesterday. Hot Topic at Hollywood & Highland was quite empty as the time approached for the "Queen of All Media" to appear. Nobody wanted any of that shizz! Sorry P-nasty, better stick to gossiping.

News Corp. Hit With More Lawsuits
Thirteen new people who say News International hacked their phones have field suit against the company ahead of an approaching deadline. They include Shaun Russell, the father of a young girl who survived being attacked with a hammer while her mother and sister were killed. Sara Payne, whose "Sarah's law" campaign against pedophiles was a pet project of Rebekah Brooks at News of the World, also sued, along with Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell and pop star Dannii Minogue.

I think the property really need to have "region" in the name. Otherwise it may be expected to return overflow status on regular elements, which it is not designed to do... I have mixed feelings on 'not-a-region'. It is true that regular element can always say 'fit' but it is useless and some kind of "not applicable" would make more sense... But it is still useless...

Reading isn't just sitting down and having a book in front of you. Readers can access more books by listening to audio books, it's a shame more people don't. If you're one of those who doesn't I plan to convince you to start today! Below are 20 reasons why you should listen to books:
Reading and listening are both great ways to learn, but audio books let readers engage with books differently than print.
- If you're a slow reader you should listen to audio books so you get books read faster and more of them.
- Audio books may be a better way to read books because of the reader's voices. When I listen to audio books I comprehend it more when the narrator changes his or her inflections for the characters and doesn't just read but acts! A voice can reveal so much more context than merely print. Sarcasm for instance!
- When you listen to audio books you know how to pronounce every word in them because the reader says them first. It's fun to compare American readers/books to British readers/books. (e.g. Ha-rass-ment vs Hara-ssment.)
- For young kids especially, listening comprehension exceeds reading comprehension. Do we not crawl before we walk and talk before we read?
- When you listen to audio books it helps with vocabulary. More words listened to in context, more words learned!
Audio books are portable like regular books but in different ways so that you can get through more books.
- Take them with you in the car! On road trips, during commutes to work, school, activities, and while running errands.
- Audio books are also good to listen when you're walking, running, taking the dog out, exercising and while at the gym.
- Listen to audio books while painting rooms in your house, doing yard work, cleaning, doing laundry, organizing, etc.
- I usually listen to audio books while doing chores, cleaning my room, etc. Think how many books you'd read if you listened to them when you do all that!
- Listen while lounging, getting ready in the morning, getting ready for bed… I bet you can think of even more times to listen.
Advantages over Print:
- Listening to audio books is fun because since the narrator is an actor it's like going to a play or watching TV without a picture. I like listening to Jim Dale (Harry Potter) and Clea Lewis (Princess Diaries) and Nathaniel Parker (Artemis Fowl). I think they're some of the best narrators I've heard yet.
- You hear every little detail in audio book. Sometimes people might skip over a paragraph or a page and that could be a very important part. Listening to audio books makes you a better listener!
- Audio books increases number of books kids, teens, and adults read. If you listened to two or more audio books a week, you'll have at least 8 books read in a month. That's more than most people read in a year! Can you imagine?
- MP3 players are "cool" where books might not be and therefore make reading cool too. You can download your book onto your iPod or MP3 player and listen to it whenever and wherever.
- Audio books are greener than print books. You save trees when you choose audio books.
Ease of Use:
- You can listen when you can't see. This is great for readers with poor eyesight or eyestrain.
- Audio books are accessible; you can get them at the library, from Amazon, through Audible.
- Cut TV time in half – or out completely with audio books. Trust me it's worth it! Books become best friends. Who ever heard of a TV show being a best friend?
- You can listen to audio books at night on mp3 player without waking anybody else in the room! Lights out? No problem! Not like with a print book where you'd have to turn on a lamp.
- There are so many devices for listening to audio books available. You can listen on an MP3 player, in the car on a CD player, a computer, a home sound system, on a Kindle, etc.
Like a good print book, audio books can be comfort reads and favorites that you listen to over and over and over again. So what are you waiting for?

About Streetside
Streetside Advertising is a Western Australian family owned and operated private company that deals exclusively with the supply of outdoor furniture to a number of Cities and Townships, in exchange for exclusive advertising rights. As part of the arrangement with that local government, Streetside also provides the community with additional non advertising public infrastructure in its parks, gardens, sports areas, schools and other areas as required by the ratepayers.
For the past thirty years, we have provided local businesses with the affordable opportunity to advertise on quality items of outdoor street furniture.
A very prompt and reliable maintenance service to ensure those products are adequately maintained is included in our service. Our fleet of maintenance vehicles regularly services each area to ensure the displayed advertising is in good condition. Streetside currently has in excess of 5000 items of furniture provided and installed.
Our mission is to supply and maintain innovative and quality street furniture to local governments, and give local businesses access to cost effective, high exposure advertising medium.
We currently have long term contracts to offer outdoor advertising in a number of Cities, and these include the City of Bayswater, City of Mandurah, City of Joondalup, City of Wanneroo, City of Fremantle, City of Melville, City of Rockingham, and the City of Geraldton.
We enjoy working with our clients to achieve the best results from their advertising budget. This affordable advertising medium can offer exposure to upwards of 40,000 cars per average weekday.
The "Community First" mindset of satisfactory public infrastructure and providing advertising opportunities to local businesses are our first and foremost concern. We understand that businesses want to achieve various outcomes from the advertising - some may want to spread awareness of their business through a certain suburb and will choose prime local roads; some want a directional message leading cars off a main or secondary road; and some simply want greater exposure of their business, opting for a site on a main or secondary road. No matter what you are hoping to achieve from an outdoor advertising campaign, the team at Streetside would love to help.

Travel to Las Vegas and you'll likely hear plenty about nearby attractions like the Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead. There are even places right on the Strip where you can take part in guided tours of these places. These highly publicized attractions are well worth it and have many interesting sights and are great ways to escape the lights of Vegas. But in addition to these high traffic tourist spots, there are a couple of not so highly publicized areas that are well worth your time, and cost no more than a rental car and a camera.
Red Rock Canyon is located about 15 miles west of the Strip. It is just outside of the city - you can take Charleston Boulevard all the way there. Charleston crosses the strip just north of the Stratosphere. Hop on Charleston and go west. Once you pass Red Rock Casino and Highway 215, you're almost there.
When you first get to Red Rock, there is a visitor's center where you can get out and check out some of the history of the canyon. You can learn about the Native American's who first lived in the area as well as the animals and plants that populate the canyon.
The canyon itself is made up of red sandstone which is very striking in color when the sun bounces off the canyon walls. There are numerous hiking trails that you can stop and hike. They range from easy to difficult. The canyon is also popular to rock climbers, who can often be seen scaling the cliffs and rocks of the area.
From the visitors center you can take the scenic loop, which is a 13 mile loop that winds its way through the canyon with numerous places to stop to either hike or take pictures. One of the stops along the loop is the Ice Box Canyon trail which is a two mile moderately difficult hike that includes some rock scrambling. This trail works it's way back into a canyon which is known for the cooler winds that blow through the rocks. While hiking be sure to look up the canyon walls as you can often see the climbers scrambling up their lines.
Along with the desert vegetation you're likely to see different animals in the conservation area. Bighorn sheep and deer accompany the wild burros that roam the land. The burros are rather tame and will often come up to car windows looking for food - though it is recommended not to feed them as this increases their independence on the tourists of the area. A picture of a burro sticking his head in your car window is often a great picture to share with friends back home.
The great thing about Red Rock is that you can see the sights without ever leaving the air conditioning of your car - or if you're feeling a little adventurous you can venture out on one of the trails and make your way a little off the beaten path. Even though you are just outside the sprawling city of Las Vegas, a trip to Red Rock is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city - a great way to take a vacation inside your vacation.

The Excellent Places to Hike Around Las Vegas

SOMERVILLE, New Jersey (WABC) -- A former "Melrose Place" actress who has already served prison time for a fatal drunken driving crash in 2010 will not face any more jail time.
A jury in November convicted Amy Locane-Bovenizer of vehicular homicide in the 2010 death of 60-year-old Helene Seeman in Montgomery Township. Locane-Bovenizer faced a sentencing range of five to 10 years on the most serious count, but was sentenced to three years.
Last summer, an appeals court decision led to a new sentencing hearing.
On Friday, the victim's son and husband read statements in front of the court. The son, Ford Seeman said that the judge's sentence compounded the tragedy and that the court has forgotten who the victims really are.
The victim's husband, who was critically injured in the accident, said that he's been in the hospital with serious complications from the accident.
At her first sentencing, Locane-Bovenizer was be credited the 81 days she had already served, and also had her license suspended for five years. She was sentenced to three years probation after her release and had to pay several thousand dollars in fines.
Prosecutors said she was driving with a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit when her SUV slammed into a Mercury Milan driven by Fred Seeman as he was turning into his driveway. Fred Seeman's wife, Helene, was killed, and he was seriously injured.
During the trial, the defense argued that Fred Seeman was making a slow turn, which contributed to the crash. They maintained that it was an accident, not a crime.
The defense also shifted blame to a third motorist who they say distracted the actress by honking at her and chasing her after being rear-ended.
The judge lowered the maximum sentence citing the hardship on Locane-Bovenizer's two young children. One has a serious medical and mental disability. The defense went into detail about how her sick child was deteriorating.
Judge Robert Reed said that he had no sympathy for the actress, but that the children should not suffer even more because of her actions.
The actress, in turn, apologized to Seeman's family and said she took full responsibility.
"I am truly sorry for all of the pain I have caused," she said. "My own suffering will never go away."

Antimicrobial stewardship
Reminder letters sent to GP practices cut antibiotic prescribing by 3.3%
Letter advises GP practices with highest antibiotic prescribing rates and suggests ways to cut unnecessary prescriptions.

GPs who prescribe the most antibiotics reduce the amount they prescribe by avoiding unnecessary prescriptions if they are sent feedback benchmarking their prescribing levels against those of their peers, a study[1] has found.
Advising GPs with the highest levels of antibiotic prescribing levels was an approach recommended by the National Institute of Care and Excellence in its antibiotic stewardship guidelines in 2015. The study, published in The Lancet (online, 18 February 2016) and carried out in collaboration with England's health authorities, found that this advice process cut antibiotic dispensing by 3.3% over six months.
In September 2014, the researchers identified 1,581 GP practices in England with antibiotic prescribing rates in the top 20% for their area. The practices were then randomly assigned to either receive a letter from the chief medical officer Dame Sally Davies highlighting their high prescribing rate, or to receive no communication.
The letter told GPs that "80% of practices in their local area prescribe fewer antibiotics per head than yours" and suggested three ways to make sure prescriptions for antibiotics were necessary. These included: giving patients advice on self-care; offering a delayed prescription; and talking to other prescribers in their practice to ensure they were prescribing appropriately.
GPs who received the letter prescribed 3.3% fewer antibiotics over six months from October 2014 to March 2015 than those who received no communication; the rate of prescribing was 127.0 items in the intervention group compared with 131.3 in the control group — 4·3 items per 1,000 people lower.
Overall, the 791 GP practices in the intervention group dispensed 73,406 fewer antibiotic items. The cost of printing and mailing letters to the 3,227 GPs in those practices was £4,335, equivalent to £0.06 per prescription prevented. The researchers calculated that the intervention saved £92,356 in direct prescribing costs.
Between 2000 and 2014, UK primary care antibiotic use increased by 46%, and the UK government[2] set a goal in 2013 to reduce antibiotic prescribing in primary care by 4% by 2018, as part of efforts to tackle growing antimicrobial resistance.
Michael Hallsworth, from the Behavioural Insights Team, a company part owned by the UK government, led the study and said that this type of behavioural intervention could help achieve the 2018 target. "This simple intervention could reduce England's antibiotic prescribing by 0.85% overall, despite costing just six pence per prescription saved," he says.
"This kind of feedback could also be provided for many other kinds of drugs, and by anyone who is interested in doing so, since all this information is publicly available online."
Maureen Baker, chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners, said that while GPs are open to feedback and welcome a reflective approach to prescribing, it was important that this approach is combined with work to make the public realise that prescribing antibiotics is not always the answer to treating minor, self-limiting illness.
"GPs already undertake regular prescribing reviews to see what they can do differently in the best interests of their patients. Reminder letters could be seen as an extension to this — or a prompt — but it's important that doctors who receive letters don't feel overly-criticised as a result," she says.
"There is nothing to say that doctors who prescribe the most antibiotics are doing so inappropriately; some doctors will prescribe more than others simply as a result of the demographics of their patients."

Wineland, from the U.S., and Haroche, from France, will share the prize for their work on quantum optics — the precise control of photons, which are the fundamental units of light, the BBC explained.
This year's Nobel prize in physics was announced Tuesday at the Royal Swedish Academy of Science in Stockholm. The two winners will share a prize of 8 million Swedish krona ($1.2 million).
According to the official Nobel prize website, Wineland and Haroche "have independently invented and developed methods for measuring and manipulating individual particles while preserving their quantum-mechanical nature, in ways that were previously thought unattainable."
"The Nobel Laureates have opened the door to a new era of experimentation with quantum physics by demonstrating the direct observation of individual quantum particles without destroying them," an announcement from the prize committee said.
Wineland is affiliated with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado in Boulder, while Haroche is with the College de France and the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.
On Monday, John Gurdon of the U.K. and Shinya Yamanaka of Japan were awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in physiology for medicine. The pair discovered that adult specialized cells can be reprogrammed into stem cells.
The BBC said this year's chemistry prize will be announced on Wednesday, and the literature and peace prizes will be awarded later in the week.

On the writing front, I have finished the proposal letter and sample chapter of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning Indonesian", so I'll be sending that off to Penguin to see if they'll pick it up as their next language learning guide. Hopefully I will hear back from their editorial team within a couple of weeks.
My ROW80 focus will then turn to editing my translated Indonesian book, and getting another short story ready for publication - although I now have a couple more fiction projects (one short story, one novel) where the Muse is demanding a bit of my time.
Finally, a bit of book promotion news. First, Lindsay & Jane's Views & Reviews has reviews of both Seven Lives to Repay Our Country and Happily Ever After up on both their website and Facebook page, so readers, check them out, and writers, consider sending them a copy of your latest work to review.
Second, as part of my continuing experimentation and exploration into successfully marketing short stories (to be documented in an upcoming "how-to" guide) I'm taking Ever After PR's "featured author" program for a test-drive in February. Therefore, the majority of February promotion for Happily Ever After will be done through them - 3 guest posts, a sidebar ad, several Tweets, and constant FB presence. My "control group" will be Seven Lives... which I'll promote with Tweets through Novel Publicity's "Karmic" program (see below) and the WoMen's Literary Cafe, book reviews, and efforts to improve Listopia rankings on Goodreads.
Finally, for authors I recommend checking out Novel Publicity's "Karmic" programs on Facebook, Twitter, and Goodreads. These are quick and easy reciprocal drives to increase your follower/fan/friend base in social media while exposing you to what your fellow authors are up to. I experienced a 60+ follower jump on Facebook and gained 20+ friends/fans on Goodreads last week.
Wishing everyone a great week,

The 2015 Paris Agreement called for a balance between sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and their removal by 2100 to halt global temperature rise. This POSTnote explains why Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) techniques may be required to achieve this goal, outlines the benefits of and concerns about them, and considers policy options.Jump to full report >>
The active removal of GHGs from the atmosphere, referred to as negative emissions, could be achieved using a variety of techniques. GGR techniques mainly focus on the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, rather than other GHGs. The most promising GGR techniques include:

I owe everything to the gift of Pentecost. For fifty days the facts of the Gospel were complete, but no conversions were recorded. Pentecost registered three thousand souls. It is by fire that a holy passion is kindled in the soul whereby we live the life of God. The soul's safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power. Samuel Chadwick
O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us; inspire all our thoughts; pervade our imaginations; suggest all our decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship. John Baillie
