List of Fairy Legendary Pokémon
- Generation I (Kanto)- Mew
- Generation II (Johto)- Celebi
- Generation III (Hoenn)- Jirachi
- Generation IV (Sinnoh)- Manaphy
- Generation V (Unova)- Victini
- Although Manaphy is a Fairy Pokémon, it has some features that are similar to a regular Pokémon.
- It is purely Water-type. (Every other is part Psychic-type, Mew being fully Psychic.)
- It can breed with Ditto to get a Phione egg (Manaphy is the onbly Legendary to actually breed.)
- If Mew is accounted as earth-like, then the five 'Fairy Legendary Pokémon' would fit with the Chinese elements, fire, water, earth, wood and metal.
- All of these Pokemon have 100 base stats for all six stats.
- In each regional Pokédex (minus the platinum extension Pokédex) Mew, Celebi, Jirachi and Manaphy all appear either last, or in Jirachi's case, second-to-last, though, Victini appears at the start of its Regional Pokédex (Unova).
- Shaymin could possibly be another Fairy Legend Due to the striking similarities to the others. This could just be a coincidence though.

November 27th, 2012
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
November 27 is National Bavarian Cream Pie Day.
Most food historians accredit the invention of Bavarian cream (a gelatin-based pastry cream) to French chef Marie Antoine Carême (1784-1833), the forefather of haute cuisine and referred to as the "chef of kings, and the king of chefs."
Recipes for Bavarian cream, or crème bavaroise, started to appear in American cookbooks shortly thereafter in the 1880s, as seen in Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cook Book: What to Do and What Not to Do in Cooking in 1884.
To make the pie version, pour Bavarian cream into a prepared pie crust and refrigerate for approximately two hours until set.
Soak the gelatine in cold water till soft. Chill and whip the cream till you have three pints. Keep the whipped cream on ice, and boil the remainder of the cream, adding enough milk to make a pint in all. Beat the yolks of the eggs, and add the sugar and salt. Pour the boiling milk on the eggs, and when well mixed put back in the double boiler and cook about two minutes, or just enough to scald the egg. Stir constantly, add the soaked gelatine, and strain at once into a pan set in ice water. When cool, add the vanilla and wine, or half a cup of orange juice. Stir till it begins to harden, then stir in quickly the whipped cream, and when nearly stiff enough to drop, pour into moulds wet in cold water.

Thanksgiving and call to prayer
from Shelvis and Nancy Smith-Mather
Shelvis and Nancy featured on CNN
Watch Shelvis and Nancy as they are interviewed on CNN about the birth of baby Jordan.
Shelvis and Nancy Smith-Mather continue to offer thanks and ask their friends and supporters from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to pray for the health of their baby boy Jordan. Presbyterian World Mission will continue to update this web page with new information and photos as they become available.
UPDATE: Monday, December 3, 2012
Dear PC(USA) family,
Jordan is doing great, and last week he reached 6 pounds!!!! The doctor has released us to travel mid-December, so we hope to be home for Christmas. At this point, Jordan is awake more during the night than during the day, so we hope the change in time zone will work in our favor:) Thank you for checking on us. We have felt very well cared for and loved in this season of our lives. God has truly blessed us with a miracle and we are enjoying everyday with him. We know he has not come this far on his own, but with the power of many prayers and of a mighty God. Thank you for all the prayers, support and love.
With grateful hearts,
Nancy, Shelvis and Baby Jordan
UPDATE: Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Dear PC(USA) family,
I am sorry for my delayed responds to your notes. Nancy and I spend the majority of our days at the hospital with baby Jordan and usually don't have the focus or energy to write e-mails when we get home at night. The last few weeks have been exhausting and overwhelming, yet God continues to show goodness, offer compassion and surround us with love. Thank you for your prayers and encouraging e-mails. They have meant a lot to our family.
Our son has made incredible progress over the course of the last three and a half weeks; his breathing, eating and growth have improved drastically and he no longer needs the assistance of an oxygen machine or CPAP Machine. He has been released from the Intensive Care Unit and has been taken out of the incubator. He is still in the High Dependency Unit, but the doctors have seen progress each day. Our hope is that his body, little lungs and immune system will be strong enough to travel back to the States before Christmas. I will send out images and another update in the near future, but I want to thank you specifically for your support during this time. Thank you so much.
We hope to talk to you, see you, pray with you soon.
In God's Grace,
Shelvis, Nancy and Jordan
UPDATE: Tuesday, November 6, 2012
Hello all,
Thank you so much for your words of concern and hope. While I have a moment, I want to provide you with a brief update:
My son, Jordan, continues to inspire us all as he grows in courage and strength each day. Although he must remain in the hospital for an extended period of time, he is now breathing WITHOUT ASSISTANCE! He no longer needs a ventilator, oxygen machine or CPAP Machine to breath, but he is now doing it on his own. In addition, the doctors now allow us to take him out of his incubator to hold him. As a result of his progress, Jordan has been moved out of Intensive Care Unit into the High Dependency Unit.
Nancy is also making very good progress as she recovers from a challenging and difficult labor. Finally, I am feeling much better after experiencing several days of migraine headaches, nausea and fatigue from malaria.
Overall, the Smith-Family is going in the right direction. Please pray for Jordan's continued progress and our rest.
I will try to send pictures this week.
Good night,
UPDATE: Thursday, October 25, 2012
Dear PC(USA) family,
Thank you for all that you have done on our behalf. We are writing to you to request your continued prayers.
Nancy was scheduled to return to the US this week because our first child is due in December. Nancy, however, went into labor last Saturday, October 20, 2012. The Medical Team in South Sudan knew a premature birth of this nature might exceed the capacity of their facilities, but they courageously worked to save the child's life. The doctor initially treated Nancy with a medicine to stop/delay the contractions, but the labor continued. They also injected her with steroids hoping that (with time) the treatment would transfer from Nancy's blood stream to the baby's, in order to strengthen baby's lungs. They hoped that the contractions would stop for 48 hours… but the labor continued. Given the circumstances, once the baby was born, the head doctor advised a medical evacuation out of South Sudan to a hospital with a neo-natal care unit.
During all of these events, Nancy and I felt the presence of God in every step of the birth and evacuation. A short-term Mission Team from Wisconsin arrived days earlier to our town in South Sudan with medical equipment from the US which was used for the first time during Nancy's delivery. The head of the short-term mission team was a Pediatrician and his wife a nurse; they joined the hospital's staff and worked tirelessly to care for Nancy and the baby. Dr. Jeff Perry, the hospital's primary doctor, remained composed, attentive, thorough and optimistic throughout the entire procedure. While his wife, Elizabeth, drew from years of experience mothering nine children and her graduate degree in Public Health to coach Nancy during the labor. In addition, we were surrounded by the prayers of dozens of South Sudanese mothers and children who left their own hospital beds to stand at the entrance of our door to pray. Many believe this level of medical assistance is unheard of in a country which was recently identified on International Women's Day as "the worst place in the world for a woman to give birth."
When the child was born, the doctor's assessed that a "CPAP Machine" (also known as a "Continuous Positive Airways Machine" was needed. They, however, did not own this expensive machine, so they used a device which was fashioned together months ago with plastic tubes, a cup of water and several small bands. This device was made "in the event" that a CPAP machine was ever needed. And it worked beautifully, absolutely beautifully. The Medical Team also used the only incubator in town to stabilize the baby.
After the child's breathing steadied, a chain of colleagues from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), RECONCILE International, Yei's Immigration Office(S. Sudan), Juba Immigration Office (South Sudan), the United States Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya and several NGOs secured an air evacuation plane holding a nurse, a doctor, and all the medical equipment needed to care for our baby. They flew into Yei, landed on the dirt airstrip, fixed the incubator into a Land Cruiser, transferred the baby into their medical equipment and flew us to Nairobi, Kenya. Once we arrived in Nairobi, an ambulance met us on the runway and hurried us to Aga Khan Hospital where the child was admitted immediately into neo-natal ICU.
As you can imagine, the last few days have been quite challenging, but we are convinced that through this process the Lord has revealed the height and depth of God's love through the hands of our South Sudanese, American and Kenyan sisters and brothers. We are happy to report baby continues to improve day by day. To God be the glory. The US Embassy in Nairobi has also informed us that according to their records, little "Jordan Eman Smith-Mather" is the first American born in the new country of South Sudan. (The 1st baby born from American-born parents).
To God be the glory for the life which has been given to our child and the hope which has been shared with us. We ask for your prayers for Jordan's continued progress and our rest. The medical team feels Jordan will shortly be moved out of ICU, and we are prayerful that he will continue to improve each day.
Please feel free to share this with anyone who will pray on our family's behalf.
Thank you.
In God's Grace,
Shelvis and Nancy Smith-Mather
The prayers of your extended family at Decatur Presbyterian Church continue to be with you. We are encouraged by this news and look forward to the day when we will see Jordan in person.
So happy to hear this good news! What joy in the receiving of such fitting support from so many capable hands and loving hearts! Blessings to all of you.
Meg posted this update to facebook, I had no idea where you were! What an amazing story of God's power and grace to your family. We will continue to pray for you all. God bless little Jordan! Rachel
The prayers of many surround Jordan and both of you. Much love from all of us in Louisville!
Praying for you all. Know you are loved and are in God's constant care, surrounded and grounded in lovingkindness.

Greenville Police have identified a woman critically injured in an accident Friday night that also sent another male driver to the hospital.
Officials say that 21-year-old Taushima Nixon of Williamston was taken to the hospital in critical condition Friday night, after a Dodge Magnum driven by 27-year-old Durwin Lamb of Greenville, crashed into the back of Nixon's BMW.
We're told Nixon was standing behind the BMW that appeared to be disabled in the center lane of 10th Street, when Lamb crashed into the back of it, pinning Nixon.
Officials say the traffic safety unit is continuing its investigation. Lamb was taken to Vidant with non-life threatening injuries.
Previous Story:
Greenville police say a woman was run over as she stood outside her car late Friday night in Greenville.

He says she was standing behind her BMW car which was stopped in the middle east bound lane on 10th Street at Elm Street with no lights on when she was hit by a Dodge car. Hadnott says the woman was found under the Dodge. Her car ended up in the front yard of Kappa Delta sorority.
Police say the woman was taken to Vidant Medical Center with serious injuries. Police say the driver of the Dodge wasn't wearing a seat belt and had face injuries which were non-life threatening. Police have not identified the woman or the driver of the Dodge.
Police say the crash is still under investigation. They say preliminary information does not indicate alcohol as being a factor in the crash.

The Tongs (火钳) are a chinese gang mentioned in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars by the Triads several times.
About The Tongs
The Tongs were apparently in the middle of a conflict with the Algonquin Triads in 2009, when the events of GTA: CW took place.
They had a rather important influence on the choosing of the new Triad boss in Liberty City.
Chan Jaoming told Huang Lee in the mission Pimp His Ride that the Tongs favored Zhou Ming, and that to get them to help Chan, he had to win a race impressing them.
Later in the game, in Raw Deal, Chan was about to make a drug deal with them, therefore brokering peace between the Triads and the Tongs, but it was ambushed by the Spanish Lords.
The Triad boss, Hsin Jaoming then somehow managed to get into peace with the Tongs and had an oath to them "The traitor (the rat working with the FIB to take down the Triads and the Tongs) would be killed no matter whom he was found to be".
Later, Wu Lee then gave Hsin the files refering to both Zhou and Chan as the rats, and Wu being named as the new boss sent Huang to kill them (Hit from the Tong and Clear the Pier) .
After Wu's death and Hsin's arrest (Salt in the Wound) , it is not known what happened to them.
Mission appearances
- Pimp His Ride (mentioned)
- Raw Deal (mentioned)
- A Rampage on Colony Island (possibly)
- There is a rampage in Colony Island involving chinese gangsters, wearing the same clothes as Chan Jaoming's crew. They could perhaps be members of the Tongs.

The families of 75 soldiers are a breathing a bit easier tonight as their loved ones in the Maine Army National Guard returned home safely from a year long deployment in the Middle East.
Mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, friends, and several very excited dogs welcomed the 126th Aviation company back to Bangor. The group of Maine Army National Guardsmen and women has spent the last year based in Kuwait, flying throughout the region on medical evacuation missions, which put the pilots and medics into harm's way. Tonight, they're back in their own beds.
"It feels awesome...it still feels a little bit surreal like it hasn't completely sunk it yet but I'm waiting for that to happen," said Nick Emery.
He is just back from his first tour of duty in the Middle East where he worked on aviation electronics for the Black Hawk helicopters used to run the medical missions. He was greeted by a huge group of family and friends, all sporting T-Shirts reading "Welcome Back Joe," with the "Joe" crossed out and "Nick" written in. Joe is Nick's older brother who has done two tours already as a pilot; he said it's likely that both he and brother Nick will be re-deployed in the near future.
"There's a cycle that we all follow and when our time comes, then we go at it again," Nick Emery said.
The 75 soldiers of the 126th Aviation Company touched American soil a week ago, and have undergone reintegration exercises at Fort Hood in Texas that are designed to ease their re-entry to civilian life. Major Michael Steinbuchel said that making a smooth transition between active duty and civilian life is something the Guard takes very seriously. Soliders have constant access to counseling if they need it, and he said, even demonstrations of public appreciation can help.
"We think that homecomings are a very important part of reintegrating our soldiers into the community and events like this show the support that the community has for our soldiers," Steinbuchel said.
During its deployment, the company flew more than 1200 sorties and completed 43 medical evacuation missions throughout the region, earning the company recommendations for at least 80 medals and service awards. But the best prize, said many of the family members, is having their sons, daughters, moms and dads back home safely, at least for now.

Man, Jane Austin and Hot Chocolate sound so good. I think you have inspired my evening 🙂
Oh my word! I almost spit out my afternoon coffee! I was not expecting the unicorn in your lap comment…hilarious!! 😉 That tree is beautiful…as are the quilts 😀
Beautiful quilts! And if that tree is at your home then I woudl definitely take advantage of a nice day with it! That is amazing!!
very funny, though i think the unicorn would be way more fun than the dental appointments. the quilts look beautiful
The leaves on that tree are so beautiful!! The leaves are still yellow here… slowly turning orange.
LOVE your Bliss quilt! Did you make it from one charm pack? I have one sitting around waiting to be made into a baby girl quilt . . . just waiting for the right idea!
Amazing tree, stunning quilts. Hope the dentist went well… I just did the same thing last week but with only two kids. It went well, yay!
I would bring the hot chocolate if we could turn up the Austen to be heard over our sewing machines!!! Sounds like our days were similar. Orthodontists and flu shots all around!!! Sheeeesh.

Blessings,

KT
Sounds nice. Your photos are lovely even though you didn't get to do what you wanted to do. There's always tomorrow…or the day after…or the day after THAT.
What? No leprechauns with pots of gold? If ya gotta dream, dream big right! Hope everything at the dentist went well! Enjoy your evening at least 🙂
Beautiful quilts and the tree is so vibrant!!!
Sounds perfect! Can't beat a good Jane Austen.
Anyday you are free I'll bring the cocoa, you bring the unicorn and we'll watch Jane Austen movies and watch the leaves fall. You know, and watch Creamie stomp around in her rainboots or whatever else she has in mind that she can not live without :o)

Sounds like a perfect day. All except the dentist part. Hope it went well!

Greenville police say they are investigating the death of a young man today.
The body of David Clifton was discovered this morning around 10:30 a.m. by friends who tried to wake him up today. The 21-year-old lived in an apartment on East Eleventh Street, near East Carolina University.
He was last seen alive around 1:00 a.m. and ECU says the victim was not a student at the university.
Detectives say there were no obvious signs of trauma and say at this point they have no reason to suspect foul play. Police say a drug overdose is being considered as the possible cause, but nothing has been ruled out. They say the young man's family lives near New Bern.
Clifton's body is being sent to the Pitt County Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy.

User needs to be blocked
The user REGSRER needs to be blocked, for vandalizing the pages Stefan, Special abilities, User talk:GeorgeTwilightWiki and my talk page. MrsLunchBox (talk) 15:09, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
Deleted page
Will you please tell me, why did you deleted that page? I'm sorry if i'd done anything wrong.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Symph risley (talk • contribs)
Joham and other problems
When I have looked over the page Joham, I noticed that the template wasn't working any more. So, I tried to fixed, but it wasn't working that good, so could you please help me. I have some informations, but some of them were missing.
Another problem is or was it, that the user, removed all informations on the Renesmee page, I have talked to him/her. I would say, next time the user could be blocked. MrsLunchBox (talk) 15:21, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
- Re. Joham: You see the problem was, that the template wasn't working anymore. I noticed that the infoboy is depending on the species of the character. Maybe the vampire infobox needs an update or something in that way. I had an vampire infobox on my profil, but on day there was just the line "template:vampire inforbox", maybe it was my fault. I', not sure.
- Re. Sistina: Maybe you should warn the user because of the vandalizem, I would say mine was not that usefull. MrsLunchBox (talk) 16:15, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
You mind telling me why you reverted my edits? I think I can edit and change mistakes If I see them. And I don't think that it is your decision, I don't care if your an admin, your just another kid to me.

Ninishe's message
I had just recieved a message on my talk page and I have just copied it so that you can have a copy of it and it seems that I am feeling threaten by the message, I have also responed to this message. Please can you sort this out before it gets worse.
Dear VampireAndWerewolfsAreAwesomeAsHell23,
posted that video of the battle from Breaking Dawn - Part 2. So why is it up on your profile page? And stop copying me with the quizzes, because it was my idea first.

Undid edits
Hey! I wanted to know what's up with undoing my edits? Was it the template? Can you discuss the template with other admins?
ChrysieeBoo Lovely (talk) 06:13, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Dear MinorStoop,
I was not threatening VampiresAndWerewolfsAreAwesomeAsHell23. I was just saying that it was like (s)he was copying me, because I was starting quizzes. And I felt threatened by VAW starting quizzes, in case they were better than mine. But anyway, it was wrong and I was selfish and it's in the past. I don't mean to be disrespectful to any of the admins or moderators, but just because you're an authority on this wiki, doesn't mean you can block me. That's censorship. Go on, block me if you feel like it, but I think you already know I'm the kind of type to go around and keep creating accounts.
And I am deeply sorry by offending/insulting anyone, especially VAW. And I promise it won't get any worse.

Twilight=Mylife Edits
Earlier Message
Hey Minor, I am a little concerned with Twilight=Mylife's edits, can you please check the users contributions. I know I am not one to complain about editing around here, but this user is starting to get a little annoying with me or other users having to revert the edits the user has done. Later Message
- Ok, what if I see her doing trollish on here, what should I? That is always a good question, but it seems like I might be over reacting a little bit.
Plus Minor I was thinking with the video's from Twilight-Breaking Dawn - Part 2 should be tabbed. It just makes the pages a lot more let me say it, smaller but with every single video still on it. I know it will be a pain, but I have shown everyone in a blog I have recently put up and it is Twilight Video Test, to show you and other admins on here that it might be a good solution to make those pages smaller. But if you and the other admins think so then I will accept it and move on. Thanks anyway.
- I will ask Pam, plus it might be a way to stop make those pages long. Thanks for the request comeback, plus I would like to express that it would be nice to have you on the Host Wiki as an Admin, I can make you one on their if you want. We could collaborate together and get it up to standards. At the moment, it is getting up on it's feet.
Yeah that could work too. I just don't like them on the regular pages, where they divide up the text. But it seems to be fitting for media. -TagAlongPam (talk) 11:31, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

It's definitely toeing the line, I can't decide. What do you think? -TagAlongPam (talk) 15:29, April 13, 2013 (UTC)

La tua Cantante`
I have moved the information that was on that page on to the vampire page, so what do you think, I think it should be on there. Due to it a vampire "attribute" and if not you can revert the edit, but it so, then you can delete the page and leave the information on the vampire page. Just thought of an idea, it is under the legend part on the page.
- Ok, so, can it be put on the human page.
- Yes and I think it should be on the page. So can I edit it, so you can think it over.
- I have edited it, have look http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Human
- Yes, I can and I am sorry about it, I should not have done the edit with your approval first.
What do you mean?

Delete Please
Hey Minor can you please delete this for me, if you could please.
RE: Delete Please
I wonder who deleted them, that is a good question and yes, you were right someone has beat you to the "punch" so to speak.
- I have checked it and it was Pam that beat you and I only wanted them to just be on a blog, and on my talk page as a decoration, but people think different from me and so they are not coming on the wiki anymore. But they are on my computer and I can have access to them for my own person use and to me, they were only going to start arguments on here, so Pam did the right thing.
- Plus I also want to ask you would you like to be a back up admin on The Host Wiki, it is just in case I need another person to put into the place of an admin that has it's admin rights stripped off them due to he or she was rude towards me or other admins.
Re: Vampire age.
Right now our infobox says "perpetual age", so that would have to change. We used to list both ages (for the main characters, anyway) but I can't remember why we got rid of them. Maybe because people can see the years the characters were born and figure it out for themselves, and because it wouldn't be clear which year we should count up until (Twilight? Breaking Dawn? One of the movies, which take place in different years than the books? etc). At least the "perpetual ages" are clear and unambiguous. -TagAlongPam (talk) 04:47, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
- For my own two cents, I think that the ages should stay as they are, it would be too confusing to having to change every single one and it would cause a huge amount of confusion. So the ideal thing is to leave it has it is and don't change anything, because you'd have to change 100+ characters ages and that would be a pain in the ass to do and for my own point of view, it seems a little silly and I do think what Pam has said above is true and maybe when the time comes when Stephenie Meyer continues the saga we might consider it. But not right now, since the last movie for now was just released on DVD/BluRay. I do think that people should be smart enough to work out there age all by themselves, it would be useless to change it. Weather or not a user as suggested this, like some of the suggestions are to barbaric sometimes like with the tabber thing I suggested on the video pages for the movies, it was acceptable to be on those pages but not other pages. So the age thing is a little to difficult at moment, do you think the same?
RE: Wikipedia Links
I am sorry for those links, and I will try to be more careful next time.

In an unparalleled collaboration, two leading global thinkers in technology and foreign affairs give us their widely anticipated, transformational vision of the future: a world where everyone is connected - a world full of challenges and benefits that are ours to meet and to harness.
Eric Schmidt is one of Silicon Valley's great leaders, having taken Google from a small startup to one of the world's most influential companies. Jared Cohen is the director of Google Ideas and a former adviser to secretaries of state Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. With their combined knowledge and experiences, the authors are uniquely positioned to take on some of the toughest questions about our future: Who will be more powerful in the future, the citizen or the state? Will technology make terrorism easier or harder to carry out? What is the relationship between privacy and security, and how much will we have to give up to be part of the new digital age?
In this groundbreaking book, Schmidt and Cohen combine observation and insight to outline the promise and peril awaiting us in the coming decades. At once pragmatic and inspirational, this is a forward-thinking account of where our world is headed and what this means for people, states and businesses.
With the confidence and clarity of visionaries, Schmidt and Cohen illustrate just how much we have to look forward to - and beware of - as the greatest information and technology revolution in human history continues to evolve.
Inspiring, provocative and absorbing, The New Digital Age is a brilliant analysis of how our hyper-connected world will soon look, from two of our most prescient and informed public thinkers.
©2013 Google Inc. and Jared Cohen (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
"Digital Anarchy, A Manifesto"
Wow. I had mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, I admired the authors' bold imagination on complex global issues. The idealism was almost childish, but I kept reminding myself that "these are the Google guys" and gave them the benefit of the doubt.
The allure of the book revolves mainly around its passionate and revolutionary tone. More and more, the physical world is casting a kind of digital shadow where almost all human activity can be recorded. This data is a new metric available to those with access to it. However, the authors seem almost blinded by their own imagination. There is some bizarre detachment to some of their solutions. They paint pictures of Somalis running around with cell phones and snitching on war lords using a form of cyber-bullying. Let them eat cake! Or more, appropriately, let them have cell phones and data plans!
Instead of an Orwellian police state, where the government spies on its citizens…..we can have a Democratic Police State, where citizens spy on their government and each other. By stripping away privacy, the authors envision a kind of transparent super-state in which each citizen has the technological power to expose any wrong-doing. Each citizen is a reporter, a photojournalist, a spy, and vigilante. Through a system of total surveillance, we will apparently have a world of total transparency, and thereby a world where no one does anything wrong. Why? Because everyone is watching. Instead of Big Brother, we get Big Neighbor.
To justify this digital anarchy, you'll notice the authors' heroic image of a digital super-state in action. Citizens would cyber-bully bad governments until they topple while NGO's [non-governmental organizations] are deployed around the world to distribute food, commodities, and technology. NGO's replace governments by distributing resources wherever needed thereby ending poverty and dictatorships. The Digital Age apparently is one of distribution….not free trade. The role of the citizen is as an informer working "together with the State" against undesirables. Digital mob actions would keep everyone in check. The authors' literally suggest public tribunals and community policing programs. We would have a decentralized fascist public equipped to expose wrong-doers and undermine any central authority at will. Therefore, the main 'revolution' of the Digital Age appears to be radicalism against…ourselves.
These are not new ideas. This policing and distribution model for society is simply getting new life because of new technology. This time, we are assured, the power will be used for good. This time, only bad people will be targeted.
If anything, this book got me thinking. Instead of destroying privacy because we can, we should focus more on how to better protect it. Privacy is a barrier between us, the public, and the government. Our lives are our own record of experiences, a secret patent to our personal belief system, a trademark for our self-image, and our very own brand of personality. Our digital self is our own intellectual property. You, Inc. The government's role should be in protecting your privacy….and NOT in protecting the rights of the intruders.
Google isn't sharing its secrets with the world. Why are they asking us to share ours?
"some good, some terrifying"
Nice survey of what great things are possible, along with the potential nightmare scenarios. Much of this book discusses how the digital age will create new public policy issues, both domestic and international.
"Disappointing. At once obvious and curious."
Probably not. It wasn't 'bad', but it was disappointing. I expected a more thoughtful analysis of the impacts of digital technology/connectedness on the way we live, work, play. Instead, I got projections of the obvious, strange examples, curious conclusions and a social agenda. It was all very facile. I expected something more engaging and thought provoking given the creds of the authors.
I hoped for a more thoughtful analysis about where the digital age was taking us. I guess I assumed the premise of the book was how our lives would change. Instead, we get commentary on the application of digital connectedness to the problems of the present. There is much social messaging against the 'state' and 'big corporations.' Any discussion of institutions is in the negative. This is an understandable bias that many of us share, but it is overdone. The example of how technology would allow states to crack down on minorities (digital genocide) was ludicrous. Institutions are created by people to sustain their societies and the things they value...how will they be better able to do this? Do we think governments and corporations might be able to leverage the digital age as effectively as individuals to deliver better services to consumers involved in their processes? Isn't there risk of individuals subverting the social norms of the majority through technological bulllying and vandalism? How will societies adapt to protect the qualities of life they value? No such dialogue in this book.
This would be a much better book if it thought a bit beyond describing the technology-enabling aspects of the digital age, and projected how they will change the lives of average people ('average' in both a Western sense, and in a global sense.) How will we stay healthy? How will we be entertained? What kind of work will we do? How will we be educated?
I did not find anything that I strongly disagreed with in the book, but I expected something more exciting and optimistic. I was bored after an hour, but kept listening assuming it would get better. It did not.
The concepts were decidedly untechnical. It was much more like listening to a sociology textbook. Any technical analysis was facile and obvious. The writing style does not translate well into audio. Long sentences containing lists are comprehensive, but not particularly useful.
Narration was fine. The monotone reflected the character of the text.
No. The teacher from Ferris Buehler's Day Off. "Anyone? Buehler?..."
"Simplistic and awful"
This was a huge disappointment. I had big expectations when I first began listening to the book and then one "imagine one day in the future" after another really began to grate on me. After listening to the entire book it was readily apparent that the authors engaged in little more than a thinly veiled infomercial for Google while avoid so many of the complexities that come with our lives' data now living both on Google's servers and in the cloud in general. For anyone who has even a basic understand of global technology issues, this book will likely seem underwhelming.
"An exercise in stating the obvious"
This book speaks very little about future inventions (ok, so holographic displays and robots are mentioned). This is mainly a book about global politics and how people around the world will be enabled by technology (as if they're not already). What really disappoints me is that it feels like an exercise in stating the obvious. If you're unaware of "cloud" storage, or if you would be surprised to learn that cheap mobile phones and social media will help citizens of repressed countries to organize, then this might be the book for you.
I think a better title for this book would have been, "The Current Digital Age". The content was quite mundane. I never once felt a need to rewind a passage (which I typically do a lot of with other books).
The reader speaks very slowly. The good news is that I was able to play it in 2x mode and save half the time... I managed to finish it, but I could have gotten by on just the first and last chapters. If you're looking for a book about technology or futurism, there are better choices out there. For a new book from one of the top minds at Google, this isn't just disappointing - I feel ripped off.
I am an avid eclectic reader.
"What is the future of our privacy vs security?"
Unlike some of the other reviewers I found this book interesting and thought provoking. The book went back and forth between what is coming in technology and how it can be used by the individual, corporation, or NGO, for good or bad. What I found most intriguing is their discussions on how government can use the coming technology for good or evil. Jared Cohen worked at the State Department under both Rice and Clinton so I felt he had a good understanding of the various types of government in the world and what they would or would not do with the technology. They went out of their way to point out technology such as, the smart phone, will give more power to all the people of the world. It was interesting how they see the use of communication technology in helping in natural or man made disasters in the world. They used the example of Haiti to show what would have worked better and how various technologies could improve the reconstruction phase post disaster. In listing all the new advancements coming in the future I felt like one day we will pass the wonders of Star Trek. One question they asked was, for each of us to think, at what point do we draw the line of how much privacy will we give up for security. Lots of information along with pros and cons of use and abuse, over all I was fascinated with the information in the book.
"Nothing to Gain. Seems to Glorify Radicals?"
Relevant Information
Surprise in that this book is so out of touch with relevant society and humanity beyond social media.
This is a book that contains little if any information. It is as if a roomful of Huff Post auto-headline generators were in a virutal circular mirrored room. Kinda like the "do loop" from the days when programming mattered. This is what I would expect if twitter expanded to 141 characters.
"Awesome. Brilliant Book."
Cannot recommend this book enough, really good overview and the most enjoyable part was the fast pace, the vision of the future & the history of other political climates. Really awesome!
"The future is here"
Insight by two tech pioneers on what tomorrow will hold. Part dystopian warning and part optimistic tale of want tomorrow could hold. Very thought provoking.
"Ten Thousand Unsupported Claims About the Future"
The insightful message of this book could be reduced to "the internet will change the future". The content of the book is a rapid-fire stream of claims about the future, all made with absolute confidence, and little supporting evidence. This wasn't the worst futurist book I've read, but it certainly didn't bring me any useful insights.

- Study: Oil and gas waste, enhanced recovery wells linked to quakes
Colorado residents chafing at the rapidly expanding oil and gas operations along the Front Range are pressuring their local governments for protection from industrial light, noise, vibration and pollution within city limits.
But state officials insist they alone have the right to regulate how and where the industry does its drilling. State attorneys are fighting local governments that try to impose their own rules.
This fuels a growing movement of residents wondering whether the local home-rule form of government established in Colorado's Constitution means no rule when it comes to oil and gas.
"The state has failed to protect us and is — in fact — acting on behalf of the oil-and-gas industry to try to ram hazardous drilling and fracking down our throats," said Dave Gardner, director of Colorado Springs Citizens for Community Rights.
"So we're forced to protect our citizens by asserting our home-rule authority," he said. "If this must be defended in court, we'll defend it. We're confident the courts will ultimately validate our right."
Longmont was the first to be sued by the state's Oil and Gas Conservation Commission after the City Council passed tough rules including mandatory 750-foot buffers between wells and homes, and full disclosure by companies of chemicals they inject during the process of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
The outright ban on in-town drilling by Fort Collins' City Council last week was immediately called illegal by Gov. John Hickenlooper.
And when Arapahoe, Elbert and El Paso county commissioners began tweaking local rules, Attorney General John Suthers warned them that any rules controlling noise, lights, well location, harm to wildlife and impact on air and water will be pre-empted by the state.
On Tuesday, the City Council in Colorado Springs — worried that an existing rule limiting oil and gas drilling to agricultural zones puts their city in conflict with the state — is poised to pass new rules that sync with looser state rules while exerting some control over oil and gas truck traffic.
But a coalition of residents says the changes weaken local control and is demanding tougher protection.
"We want local control. People want the ability to ensure this won't affect their quality of life," former Colorado Springs City Councilman Richard Skorman said.
Suthers may argue that drilling in communities is not a purely local matter, Skorman said, "but it would be a local concern for him if a well was a couple hundred feet from his house. It just makes sense that we have the ability to make our own decisions."
The Colorado Constitution gives residents of home-rule cities, where voters have approved special charters, "the full right of self government in local and municipal matters."
Courts have decided, however, that state Oil and Gas Conservation Commission rules pre-empt local rules when a state interest is at stake — which has been defined to include orderly production of oil and gas. Underground minerals often are owned by somebody other than the surface landowner.
In 1992, Colorado's Supreme Court struck down a ban on drilling in Greeley. That case set up a process in which courts analyze whether a local land-use rule gets too much in the way of the state interest. If not, the local rule is permissible.
The Colorado Court of Appeals decided, in 2002, that local rules in the town of Frederick for well setbacks, noise abatement and visual impacts were not permissible.
So what does home-rule authority allow? Does Colorado Springs' existing rule that confines mining to agricultural zones mean the city could be sued by the state for prohibiting drilling in neighborhoods?
"These are questions that will be decided by the courts," attorney general spokeswoman Carolyn Tyler said, declining to comment further.
Home-rule champions point to a tradition of letting locals call the shots when it comes to land use on their turf.
Local governments are "best-positioned," and they regularly negotiate effectively with oil and gas companies, Colorado Municipal League general counsel Geoff Wilson said.
"Are locals completely foreclosed from regulating well setbacks in any way? I don't think so. We have a traditional land-use power that includes the authority to look at the proximity of wells to other land uses in the jurisdiction," Wilson said. "And I don't buy the notion that local regulation of oil and gas in Colorado has had any measurable adverse impact on oil and gas production. This industry is doing better than ever in making more money, poking more holes."
The anti-fracking activists that local governments face increasingly coordinate statewide and draw support from national networks. Some are motivated by climate change, opposing drilling because they want to force a shift to reliance on renewable wind and solar power. Others are motivated to protect landowners' property rights.
Local governments in Loveland, Lafayette and elsewhere are developing local rules that could lock in protection as the industry prepares to drill thousands more wells.
"In some ways, it is becoming a debate around who is in charge of energy policy. Is it the marketplace? Or the government? Well, the future of electricity generation is going to be natural gas," said Stan Dempsey, president of the Colorado Petroleum Association.
"There's a segment of the population we aren't going to be able to communicate with well, and they are very, very vocal," Dempsey said. "I don't think they're a very large section of the population."
Since 2008, municipalities have been directed to use state-trained local-government designees to carry residents' concerns to the oil-and-gas commissioners, who can attach conditions to drilling permits.
But local interest in oil and gas is broadening. Denver residents packed an informational meeting about hydraulic fracturing held last month by state Rep. Beth McCann, D-Denver. She's holding another Wednesday evening.
Even in pro-business, heavily Republican Colorado Springs, council members are compelled to think carefully about balancing energy-industry and other economic interests.
Colorado Springs' local-government designee recently reported to the council that the oil-and-gas industry could bring big jobs and investment. However, Colorado Springs long has benefited from steady tourism, which yields more jobs than oil and gas, City Council administrator Aimee Cox said.
Tourism requires preservation of a pristine mountain backdrop and unblemished parks and trails, Cox said.
"So there's a real sensitivity if we lose our natural environment," she said.
And if residents of Colorado Springs — "not a green, Boulderesque community" — develop a passion for local control over drilling, said Skorman, who ran for mayor in 2011, "then people can do it anywhere."

- A scalable algorithm for adjusting node-node overlaps
- Author(s)

- Abstract
- The node-node overlaps, which occur in drawing of labeled graphs, and more importantly, in the dynamic drawing, have been a problem in graph visualization. Several approaches have recently been proposed to solve such a problem. These approaches, however, lack the scalabilities of dealing with large number of overlapping nodes. Providing a formal description of the problem, this paper presents a scalable version of our previous approach called the Force-Transfer algorithm. Compared to other methods, our new algorithm is able to achieve the compact adjusted layout of a large graph.

The most prestigious big-wave surfing competition on earth isn't like other gatherings. Instead of choosing a single day to throw would-be competitors in the water, the Billabong XXL Awards are part of a year-long competition designed specifically for heavy-water hunters. To win one of the premier awards handed out every spring, entrants must provide solid proof of themselves charging a massive wall of water. As you'll see in the video below, the field of nominees for this year's Ride of the Year category is as stacked as ever.
The big surprise came from Tavarua, Fiji, a renowned idyllic paradise known for its perfect surf, not massive surf. But that all changed last spring when Fiji was pounded by some of the largest waves locals had ever seen. The timing couldn't have been better, as many of the world's best surfers were on the island competing in the Volcom Pro.
As the swell grew and got out of control, the world's best "competitors" were removed from danger, and took a back seat to a bevy of big-wave hunters who'd flown in to bag their elephants. When the mist cleared, and the film was reviewed, Hawaiians Reef Mcintosh and Dave Wassel appeared to have stolen the show.
Remarkably, their Tavarua rides are holding up quite well versus waves caught at more renowned big-wave breaks like Jaws, on Maui, and Cortes Bank, an underwater island that prompts massive waves to break 100 miles off the coast of Southern California.
Which is your favorite? Let us know.

Many parents find it very difficult to accept the fact that their children have grown into adults. They can't really let. They feel they should monitor and influence every decision that their child has forgetting that they need to let go.
Of course, not all adults act like adults; so many parents are faced with many on-going parenting issues that extend well beyond that 18th birthday. However, I still feel that as parents you should let go.
You should leave that irresponsible adult child to face the consequences of his/her actions. That way the child will learn. You cannot keep on overprotecting him/her.
Your adult child is exactly that - an adult. You were an adult child of someone once, and I'll bet you can put yourself back in that frame of mind for a moment. Do you think there were probably times your parents wished they could just shake you and make you straighten up?
Do you think they really knew that you were making some stupid or ill-informed choices during those early adult years? Yes, they probably did.
Do you think if they treated you like you were incompetent and childish that you would have listened even more closely to their ideas and advice? No, and you know that from experience. Keep this in mind when you watch how your "little girl" or "little man" handles their own life.
No one really wants to be mommy or papa's baby. An adult child has every right to make his/her own decisions, regardless of how unusual they are. You might be the mother or father but there are times when you should be content to be just a passive observer of your child's life. (most parents are definitely not there yet.)
It's great to ask questions to promote your child to share with you. When your child feels like it's safe to call you without getting twenty questions, you can foster a good relationship and probably promote future phone calls.
If you start getting too intrusive or take a patronizing tone, you risk getting flicked away like a fly. (sounds familiar?) I'm pretty sure we have all walked this road either as parents or as young adults.
The best you can do is keep your mouth shut and listen. Once you get your child talking, shut your mouth! Things don't work the same way as when your child was little. You told them things and they listened. Now it's your turn to switch on your ears. You can learn a lot by taking a more soft touch to your conversational style.
I have noticed that most parents have problems with their adult children after they get married. This starts with the choice of spouse.
If they do not approve of the spouse, they feel disrespected and greatly troubled. In most cases their reaction would be; "what the hell were you thinking?" Of course, they do not say that out loud, but the message is effectively transmitted in one subtle form or another.
I believe parents have a few options. They can embrace their new daughter-in-law and accept this marriage as a blessed union made in Heaven. (Most of us parents are definitely not there yet). They love their son and know that failure to honor this relationship may distance him from his family. They can step back, throw up their hands, and start making their private predictions.
Or, they can embrace their roles as perpetual parents and continue to share their honest concerns, even though there is nothing they can do about it. (Risky, but more likely to happen.)
Why am I talking about sons here instead of daughters? Its because in most cases parents find it easier to let go their daughter than they would with their son. It looks like they are competing for space with the daughter in law when it comes to their son. The ones guilty of this are mothers and I pray I won't be like that seeing I only have buy children.
Most parents fail to understand that the only way to their son or daughter's heart is through accepting the family that he or she has.
As parents, we fail to appreciate one thing which is, we have lived our own lives the way we wanted, the same should go for our children.
Let them choose careers and spouses that they love because at the end of the day it's going to be their career and their spouse not ours. The earlier we learn to appreciate this, the better.
Agreed, they are our children but the stubborn fact is that they are now adults and they deserve to be treated so. They should make their own choices which might be wrong at times but let them shoulder the responsibility of their choices. Let them learn from their mistakes instead of trying to prevent them from making any single mistakes.
Those mistakes will make them grow and become stronger. Be there to guide them and offer advice when necessary but do not overdo it. Do not force the advice down their throats as if it were some kind of medicine.
(Easier said than done)

PRETORIA, South Africa — South African police appointed a new chief investigator Thursday in the Oscar Pistorius murder case, replacing a veteran detective after unsettling revelations that the officer was charged with seven counts of attempted murder.
The sensational twist in the state's troubled investigation fueled growing public fascination with the case against the double-amputee Olympian, who is charged with premeditated murder in the Valentine's Day slaying of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
Pistorius, a sporting icon and source of inspiration to millions prior to last week's shooting, is backed by a high-powered team of lawyers and publicists. The abruptness of his fall and its gruesome circumstances have gripped a global audience and put South Africa's police and judicial system under the spotlight.
During Pistorius' bail hearing, his attorney Barry Roux pounced on the apparent disarray in the state's case. He pointed to what he called the "poor quality" of the state's investigation and raised the matter of intent, saying Pistorius and Steenkamp had a "loving relationship" and the athlete had no motive to plan her killing.
Pistorius, 26, says he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder when he shot her through a locked bathroom door in his home. Prosecutors think the shooting happened after the couple got into an argument, and prosecutor Gerrie Nel painted a picture of a man "willing and ready to fire and kill."
Much of the drama Thursday, however, happened outside the courtroom as South African police scrambled to get their investigation on track.
In a news conference at a training academy, National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega said a senior detective would gather a team of "highly skilled and experienced" officers to investigate the killing of 29-year-old Steenkamp, a model and budding reality TV contestant.
The decision to put police Lt. Gen. Vinesh Moonoo in charge came soon after word emerged that the initial chief investigator, Hilton Botha, is facing attempted murder charges and a day after he offered testimony damaging to the prosecution. Botha acknowledged Wednesday in court that nothing in Pistorius' version of the fatal shooting contradicted what police had discovered.
The attempted murder charges against Botha had been reinstated Feb. 4. Botha and two other police officers had seven counts of attempted murder reinstated against them in connection with a 2011 shooting incident in which they allegedly fired shots at a minibus they were trying to stop.
