Where I stayed
I took a flight out of Bali on Friday morning and was absolutely breath taken as I flew over the Ring of Fire....spread out below me in terrifying splendour were atleast 8 volcanoes.....two of them were smoking!!! The sight sobered me down as I landed in Jogja, which is situated in the shadow of one of them smokin cones, (mount Merapi). I spent a pleasant hour chatting with Jackie, a lovely lady from Uganda who is going to Timor to be a nutritionist for 2 years with the VSO. Good luck to you Jackie....I thought of you today as I was eating my steamed tofu in casasava leaves :)
So here I was in Jogjakarta (jogja) at 8 in the morning with a 2 full days ahead of me....Jogja is not timid. Its one of those cities that has struggled to stay alive over the years and its sure as hell not going down without a fight
So after finding myself a room for the night, I stepped out with my Lonely Planet and my walking shoes, for one of the longest days I've had in a while. Being a traveller is not easy! So I made my way to the 'kraton' which is where the sultan lives with all his subjects and artists and horses and elephants. I walked my way around the golden pavilion extremely disappointed at how ordinary it all seemed. Perhaps I've been spoilt by palaces in India? And ofcors just as the guide book warned me, a sweet faced 'official' guide latched on to me, promising to show me around 'free of charge maam..it is my job'.....which to be fair it was. As it turned out our trusty joe was also a budding artist and he led me through the smallest and quaintest of streets, past the bird market (which had bird flu posters up ...I'm sure of it!!!) and through the dessicated walls of the Water Palace to his small house. Joe sighs as he stops outside his house and proclaims..."before the earthquake...my wall was until here...'..and he proceeded to introduce me to his mum and show me all his fine batik work. Poor Joe. So after convincing him that I was just a poor student with a 150000 dollar loan, I got away with buying a few batik post cards (look out for them in the mail!) and I continued on my journey, happy to be on my own again
I wandered into Via Via, a belgian restaurant that has a chain in all the strangest parts of the world...(mozambique??!) with the most delightlful local staff and a range of facinating local tours all run with the objective of helping local artists via sustainable tourism. With 5 hours to kill, I decided to rent meself a bicycle and get a class in silver making. So with map in hand, I get sent off by lovely effie to 'kota gede', the silver town. After 30 mins of happy go lucky cycling I find 'Photo studio Pelangi' and am greeted by lovely 'Agus', the silversmith. And 'smithen' I was....I get taken to Agus's lil workshop in his house where I spent 5 hours designing, moulding, soldering, waxing, polishing my very own silver ring!!!! All this over profound discussions about hindusim, islam, buddhism and indian movies :) I had such a blast and have a shiny ring on my finger to show for it....(no, I"m not engaged to a silversmith maa!!!). So my ring is shaped like a heart-beat and has the word 'kehidupan' bahasa for 'LIFE' inscribed into it....and for those of you know know what my name means, you'll get the pun :)
I cycled back to via via ....it took me double the time, no thanx to the rain and very dim road lights....but I made it and treated myself to hot coffee and a jazz band before heading over to the meusem where I watched a very possessed man play with puppets as he told the story of the ramayana. Accompanied by a 'gamelan' orchestra, which produced the most facinating sounds and a bunch of wailing women, the puppet master really went wild!!! It was strange and probably something I won't do again.
I get into a Becak ( a rickshaw which works on pedal power) and make my way home.....end of Day 1 in jogja.
Today was all about temple worshipping...I was up at 5 and am going strong after spending 9 hours in the hot sun walking aroung gawking at bas reliefs (honestly between borodbodur and angkor, Ive had enough of these temples). I've eaten a super spicy cocnout curry with steamed eggplant, played sign language with the village kids, have had 2 cups of coffee and watched swordfish with a bunch of backpackers at 'Hedhot Resto'. I"m now surrounded by mr bedhot's crazy colourful paintings and am typing this on borrowed internet time! Sign off from Jogja.....

Assignment: Education-Spanish Immersion
The Spanish language has been a part of the curriculum at North Woods International school since 2005. But starting next fall, the talk of the town revolves around a new Spanish immersion program at North Woods.
"What that means is for about half of our day we'll be teaching the daily subjects in Spanish," said Tami Hillestad, North Woods International School third grade teacher. "So, we've chosen to teach math, social studies, science. We'll be doing our morning routines and our morning meeting in Spanish. And then we'll still have our Spanish lesson every day."
The Spanish immersion program will be offered in one class at each grade level in grades kindergarten through third. In these classes, 45 to 50 percent of the student's day will be taught in Spanish.
"At first, it will be a little challenging for the kids until they pick up on it, but students, as we know, are sponges," said Sandy Brauer, North Woods International School principal. "They learn quickly, and they will become immersed in the language and understand the language in a very rapid pace because that's the language of instruction."
Now, if the idea of your child learning core subjects in a second language has left you a little speechless Mrs. Hillestad says her third grade class will be learning the same material as their peers.
"We'll have a normal third grade day just like every other third grader," said Hillestad. "We will follow district curriculum except my students will be using different materials that are all in Spanish. I will be speaking all in Spanish. Our bulletin boards will be in Spanish. Everything will be in Spanish."
And educators say the universal language of hand gestures and body movements will help students comprehend the lessons.
"The teacher will do lots of gestures and use lots of numbers and do lots of things to make sure the kids do understand," said Brauer.
"It's pretty easy now because I know the actions and I can figure them out right away," said Jonah Gruen, North Woods International School second grader.
And research shows there are big benefits to teaching a second language at a young age.
"We know having students exposed to language at a very early age is the best time because students brains are most ready to learn another language the younger the student is," said Brauer.
The goal of North Woods International School is to develop global competence in their students. And with Spanish soon to become the largest second language in the United States... teachers at North Woods are using the language to make other cultures not so foreign.

350 Parnassus Avenue, Suite 905San Francisco, CA 94143 PH: 415-476-6800FX: 415-476-4800
Website: University of California, San Francisco
Principal Investigator: Bruce L. Miller, M.D.Medical Director: Bruce L. Miller, M.D.
The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Program for Alzheimer's Disease Care and Education (PACE) was established in 1985 as one of six original California Department of Health Services' Alzheimer's Disease Diagnostic and Treatment Centers (ADDTCs). The Center was initially developed in the Department of Psychiatry's Mental Health and Aging division at the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute (LPPI). The LPPI program has a long history of social science and behavioral investigations that have led to improved understanding of caregiver stress and patient care management across cultures.
In 1999, UCSF became an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center of California (ARCC) with Dr. Bruce Miller as Principal Investigator and Medical Director. Dr. Miller is a Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at UCSF where he directs the aging and dementia program. Dr. Miller was recruited to UCSF in the fall of 1998 in order to establish a clinical dementia program, and holds the A.W. and Mary Margaret Clausen Distinguished Chair. Since his arrival, Dr. Miller has established strong linkages between existing clinical, research, and basic science programs and community agencies. The UCSF ARCC has been organized to provide outstanding diagnostic and treatment services to individuals with dementia and to their families.
One of the primary focuses of research at UCSF is to learn more about the clinical, genetic, imaging, emotional and diagnostic features of Mild cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease and non-AD dementias including frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Cortical Basal Degeneration (CBD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Vascular Dementia. The purpose of these studies is to collect longitudinal clinical, imaging, behavioral, and autopsy data to be analyzed with the goal of improving clinical care for patients with these conditions.
In 2003, UCSF was designated as a national Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC). Funded by the National Institutes of Health, this large collaborative project is composed of multiple institutions and locations. It is designed to integrate basic science and clinical resources in order to investigate the clinical, molecular, neuropathological and neuroimaging features of Alzheimer's disease (AD), non-AD dementias, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Recent votes in the House show how difficult it will be to deal with our long-term deficit problem. Things are unlikely to get better anytime soon, writes James Kwak for the Atlantic.
There were two important budget votes in the House of Representatives last week. The one that got more attention was the near-party-line vote to pass the budget resolution produced by Representative Paul Ryan and the House Budget Committee. That budget cuts the top tax rate from 35 percent (Bush 2001) to 25 percent, maintains our current record-low tax rates on investment income, converts Medicare into a partial voucher program, makes enormous but unspecified cuts to discretionary spending, slashes Medicaid, and undoes last summer's deal to make automatic cuts in defense spending.
The more interesting vote, however, was the overwhelming bipartisan vote against the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan that has been hailed by so many self-appointed centrists. Simpson-Bowles was the plan created by President Obama's bipartisan deficit commission in December 2010. It also cut tax rates, but spelled out how it would increase revenues by eliminating tax expenditures. It proposed an arbitrary cap on growth in federal health care spending; and it slashed defense and non-defense discretionary spending in equal measure.
I'm no fan of Simpson-Bowles for several reasons, the first being that a long-term debt crisis should not be used as an excuse to cut tax rates. But its crushing defeat should serve as a clear reminder of the political hurdles facing any kind of deficit solution.

PK Presents – The Merri Soul Sessions
Some of you may remember posts from me in February and March this year re recording sessions with Clairy Browne, Vika Bull, Linda Bull, Dan Sultan, Kira Puru and myself. We've mixed the songs up, pressed them to acetate – I still don't know how this stuff works – and made a stack of seven inch singles just like my older sisters used to buy and bring home in the 60s. You can get 'em if you want or download them without worrying about turntables, amps, styluses (or should that be styli?) and all that jazz. But if you buy the records don't forget to change the speed to 45!

By John L. Pitts/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Give the Mississippi State women credit for sticking with their plan.
The Bulldogs wanted to get the ball inside to their post players and wanted to make Ole Miss sparkplug guard Valencia McFarland work for everything she got.
After a rough start on Sunday afternoon, the shots began to fall in the second half and MSU loped to a 72-57 decision, the Bulldogs' first SEC victory for new coach Vic Schaefer.
"I'm trying to teach them to be competitors and they made a big step today," Schaefer said. "For a change, we decided we were going to be the aggressors."
Center Martha Alwal finished with game-high totals of 23 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Bulldogs, while guard Kendra Grant scored 20 points in 40 minutes. Together, they were a combined 18 of 25 from the field.
The win snapped a 10-game regular-season SEC losing streak for Mississippi State (9-11, 1-6) and extended its winning streak in the rivalry to six games. Ole Miss (8-12, 1-6) was coming off a road victory at Florida.
"I thought we came out and had a lot of energy and that's something I preach every day," said Brett Frank, the acting Ole Miss head coach. "I think our kids got tired in the second half, and as they got tired their legs went."
on the rebound
The biggest sign of that may have been in the rebounding stats. After trailing 26-15 on the boards in the first half, MSU grabbed a 22-12 advantage there after intermission.
The Bulldogs finished with a 40-22 edge in points scored in the paint – including a 26-8 advantage after halftime. Forward Carnecia Williams backed up Alwal's strong game with 11 points.
Ole Miss lost its shooting eye, also.
The Rebels led 32-26 at halftime but hit just 7 of 30 shots after intermission. Meanwhile, MSU was searing the nets, hitting 18 of 25 after the break and shooting 55.8 percent (29 of 52) for the game.
"At halftime, we told them that enough was enough," Schafer said. "At some point, you have to stand up against your biggest rival."
McFarland, the leading scorer this season for Ole Miss, finished with 9 points on 2 of 13 shooting as she was dogged for much of the game by MSU's Katia May, who finished with 15 points and six assists.
"Katia was incredible," Schaefer said.
Reserve Tia Faleru led the Rebels with 16 points.
Southern Miss 76, Rice 57: The Golden Eagles outscored the Owls 53-16 in the second half and Jamierra Faulkner and Ance Celmina each posted double-doubles. Faulkner scored a game-high 26 points and had a school record tying 16 assists. Ance Celmina added 17 points and 14 rebounds. Tanecka Carey chipped in 14.

Waka Flocka Flame Releases 'Salute Me or Shoot Me 5' Mixtape
Salute Me Or Shoot Me 5 doesn't try to reinvent the wheel: as usual in Flocka's ouvre the beats are huge, the rapping is loud, and Flocka's flow is more subtle and lyrical than he'll ever get credit for. Download the mixtape and hear for yourself.
Salute Me Or Shoot Me 5 includes a handful of big features from the likes of Future, Yo Gotti and Juvenile. The former features on "Dem Skrapz," which sounds as nuts as the name implies. The beat creeps and crawls, studded with off-kilter moans and shouts. Juvenile appears on "What I Do," which sounds straight of his country-fried back catalog. Check it out here.

LOL ... we're talking about global warming & the mayor of Moscow is trying to keep the snow out of the city to reduce snow-removal costs to the city. However, his cloud seeding to accomplish this may also have unanticipated effects on animals, Moscow's trees, and the areas which will receive the snow instead of Moscow.

His teammates called him the "Old Man."
Why? They thought he was wise beyond his years.
David Wainscott was a three-sport star at Owen County High School. He played football, basketball and baseball before he graduated in 1978. He was good at all three, but baseball may have been his best sport.
Wainscott was a centerfielder who, according to his coach Ronnie Dunavent, was a smart player who could hit any pitcher he faced.
Before 1960 it was just a farm. There was a tobacco field, a corn field and livestock roaming the grounds.
Fifty years later it has become a place much like the 1980's sitcom "Cheers" where everyone knows your name.
The best may still be yet to come.
It may be argued that someone still in high school does not belong on a list like this. When you look at what Danielle Hoop has accomplished, however, it is hard to not include her.
Sometimes statistics do not matter.
The late 1950s and early 1960s was a time when things were changing in America. Technology was improving, people were moving from the country to the city, and a young man named John F. Kennedy was making a name for himself in politics.
Something else was changing as well. African-Americans were moving from the back of the bus to the baseball diamond and the basketball court. Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball in 1947 and Red Aurebach drafted the first African-American in the NBA in 1950.
Her accomplishments are much bigger than she is.
She began her varsity career as an eighth-grader when she played left field for the Lady Rebels in the spring of 2006. Later that year she enrolled as a freshman at Owen County High School and began a high-school career that included playing golf, basketball and softball.
About five feet tall, she was often the smallest person on the court or the field, but don't let her size fool you. Jensen Wainscott gave everything she had while playing sports, and in the process enjoyed both individual and team success.
Joey Logano may want to take up permanent residence in Kentucky. The state has been good to him for the past three years. Three times he has raced at Kentucky Speedway and three times he has driven straight to the victory lane following the race. Logano made history Saturday night in Sparta. He again captured the Meijer 300.
The Owen County Track Team recently held its banquet and awards program to honor athletes, reflect on the recent season and to look ahead.
Dillon Mears said the devotional prayer before a potluck dinner.
Mears and fellow senior Justin Davis spoke to their soon-to-be former teammates, leaving them with inspiring messages and reminding them to keep grades up, work hard, keep working together as a team, and to continue to keep God first.
The 2010 track season wrapped up for Owen County Saturday when two Rebels competed at the Class A State Track Meet in Louisville.
Bobby Mingie took part in the 300-meter hurdles and Dillon Mears participated in the discus.
Mingie finished 22nd and Mears 19th in their respective events.
For the season, the Rebels set six team records.
Darian Polley took over the top spot in school history with a time of 19.32 in the 110-meter hurdles at the NCTKC Meet.
The NASCAR Nationwide Series is back in Sparta.
The stars will be out Saturday night as the Meier 300 will be run at the Kentucky Speedway. The green flag is schedule to drop at 8:10 p.m. with all the action to be seen on ESPN.
Joey Logano will be looking for his third-straight win at the track. He will have plenty of competition from current points leader Brad Keselowski and Carl Edwards.
Owen County Judo team took third in the O.J. Helvey Kentucky State Judo Championship held May 22 at Trimble County Middle School.

Hurling (called Camogie when women play)
What is it? This one's from Ireland and boasts a mix of baseball, hockey and lacrosse in one full-on, full-speed contact field sport.
What's needed? Hurling stick (about $70), ball ($20), helmet (similar to what a hockey keeper wears, $130).
The experience: To celebrate the Irish and St Patrick's Day, the Living magazine editor suggests hurling for this column.
I think she expects me to say "I will yeah" (which is the Irish way of saying "I definitely won't") because she remarks that I'm "brave" for taking up the challenge.
After all, axe-shaped sticks and a hard leather ball are involved. If a player (accidentally) hits me with their best shot, then teeth cost a teensy bit to replace. Perhaps this guinea pig should request danger money.
But seriously, I dig trying new things and especially where the Irish are involved. Even when they swear I love the sound of their accent (and I'm not let down - I hear "jaysis" at least once or twice during the session). Or was that me swearing after a ball became bullet-like, whizzing the entire length of the field after being belted by a burly bloke ...
I'm with the Auckland-based hurling club at Mt Eden Normal Intermediate School's grounds (they meet at different Auckland locations) after harassing player Liam O'Keeffe into kindly letting me hang out with them.
Liam and his crew are more than happy to get some publicity for their sport. They're keen to grow their small numbers (40 players) and they want to encourage new members to join; you don't have to have Irish ancestry. Heck, if they'll put up with me they ain't kidding.
When I arrive at the school field it's fierce wet weather (the Irish like to call pretty much everything fierce). But then it's soon "quare" warm - the sunshine pushes its way through the clouds and it's suddenly another glorious day.
We kick off with practice drills. I learn how to whack the ball, biff it in the air, run with it on the stick (we look like we're competing in a giant egg-and-spoon race) and, importantly, the rules, which include some of the following: you can catch the ball in the air, pass it with the hand, strike the ball on the ground, carry the ball in hand a maximum of four steps, and also balance the ball on the stick. There's two opposing teams and players aim to shoot the ball over the crossbar (that's one point), or shoot into the net (three points). And it's all well and good to shoulder shove (as long as it's shoulder-to-shoulder) some other player out of the way if you want the ball off them.
We then play a friendly game. I get to give the ball a good whack, but mostly I'm in awe of the experienced players. There's a reason why this is dubbed "the fastest game on grass": The ball is in the sky one second, then speeding fast on a stick the length of the field. It's like the player is rocket-propelled.
It's mind chess just keeping track of the ball with my eyeballs.
Even Liam, who has played the game "since a young fulla", remarks "this game is full on". But it's safe, too: competitive players wear head-gear.
It looks good fun for all, and incredible for fitness. It's a thrill to see 3000 years of Irish sporting heritage being kept alive.
How much? It's free! The club wants new players and doesn't want anything to stand in the way of anyone giving it a go.
Worth it? If you like games that are fast and furious then you'll have a whale of a time. It's great for speed, agility, co-ordination, reaction time, strength, power, aerobic and anaerobic endurance.
Try it: Come along (16 years plus) and check out the next hurling session: April 7, 2pm, Fowlds Park, Mt Albert, or contact email@example.com

As if there weren't already enough strife in the world, I came home from a short trip to Utah last week only to find that my dog, Buck, was on a hunger strike.
Two bowls of tasty kibbles lay untouched for 48 hours, and every time I walked out of a room, there was Buck, fixing me with a baleful eye. My first impulse was to ask him if he was holding out for better working conditions. But I realized, the ungrateful mutt has never held down a paying job in his entire life.
"Buck," I said. "Don't you realize that store-bought dog food wasn't widely found in the United States until after World War II? Most of your ancestors were lucky to get their teeth into table scraps, and a balanced doggy diet was virtually unheard of. Shame on you!"
He looked somewhat contrite, but still he wouldn't eat. I think the root of the problem can be traced to the holidays. For eight years, we resisted the temptation to feed Buck human food. Then, in a rare fit of generosity that would have inspired Scrooge, I poured a little beef blood over his bowl of Science Diet kibbles on Christmas day. That was the beginning of the end.
Now, I pay almost $24 for 20 pounds of the classy, and oh so nutritious Science Diet kibbles. I'm not good at math, but I think that works out to $1.20 a pound, and I can recall a time when ground beef for humans cost less than that.
Of course, Science Diet does more than offer my pooch a healthy diet. The makers say that it has ingredients that clean his teeth and freshen his breath. Every time Buck gives me a big wet kiss, I'm grateful for his fresh breath.
I was tempted to play hardball with my dog and wait out his hunger strike. But I'm not one to quibble over kibbles. And Buck reminded me that he cheerfully sprints down the driveway in the dark every morning and fetches my newspaper. He said he would continue fetching the sports section for me, even in blizzards, if I found a way to liven up his diet short of putting human food scraps in his bowl.
I set off for the dog food emporium planning to purchase some of that semi-moist food that resembles raw hamburger.
There, at the bottom of the grocery shelf, where it's harder to spot, I found the object of my dog's desire. I had to choose between a box of the store-brand faux burgers for about $4, or the name-brand stuff for $12. It seemed like an easy decision, so I hefted a carton of the store brand and checked out the ingredients. Much to my dismay, the third ingredient, behind beef byproducts and soybean meal was high fructose corn syrup!
Millions of American dogs are obese, and high fructose corn syrup is the devil, because our doggies' bodies process it differently than refined sugar. HFCS converts to fat in the body and produces a dangerous form of cholesterol.
Next, I picked up the expensive national brand of fake dog burgers and was equally shocked to find out HFCS was the second ingredient in that product. Defeated, I picked up a can of "chopped beef" dog food and took it home to the dog that fetches my paper every morning. I would swear he had a grin on his face when I unpacked the groceries. I spooned the slimy stuff into his kibbles and he wolfed the mixture down.
The Science Diet is better for him, of course, but I couldn't bring myself to eat a single kibble, so we've struck our truce. Sales of manufactured dog food exploded in this country after World War II. Americans suddenly could afford to eat more beef, and that resulted in a greater supply of the beef byproducts that go into dog food. One of the biggest domestic producers of dog food is the Mars candy company, which markets Kal Kan and Pedigree. They are also the biggest sellers in the booming Chinese market for dog food (Szechwan kibbles?). Have you ever contemplated what it would be like to work in a dog food factory? Kibbles are made by stewing the ingredients in a pressure cooker. Next, the paste is extruded through a die that gives the kibbles their shape. Finally, steam and pressurized air are used to transform them into porous nuggets, which are then coated with liquid fat. Yum. The other morning Buck brought me the paper, and I spied a story about bomb-sniffing dogs attached to American military units in Iraq that have no proper dog food.
Captain Gabriella Cook of the 313th Military Police Detachment told The Associated Press that her unit's 12 German shepherds and one black Labrador retriever have been reduced to eating garbage, because there ain't no kibbles in Baghdad.
I read this story aloud to Buck, thinking it might give him pangs of guilt.
His response was to lick his lips and walk out of the room.
Dogs these days -- they don't know how good they have it.

The end is nigh, and it will be ugly. With Silencing Machine, Nachtmystium's sixth album, Blake Judd and his fellow Chicago-based melodic black metallurgists have put together a fantastically tormented document — a recipe for Armageddon that promises things getting darkest before the death. Judd's rocky, breathless roar is Machine's most depressing element — which is quite a victory. "I am no one/I am ruin," he barks on "The Lepers of Destitution," resembling a massive sea beast in the process of coughing up his soul underwater. Though there is no shortage of pained or painful lyrics in metal, the grittiness and pacing of Judd's delivery make these worth tracking down. Instrumentally, Machine also rely on a dim palette, supplementing gray guitars and drums with occasional inflections of psychedelic and industrial rock. Nachtmystium use their synth lines smartly, too, by burying them in the murky production to create more tension and chaos. The album's downside is its tendency to belabor sounds, ideas, and track lengths, but that's a forgivable misdemeanor with so much first-rate work. Silencing Machine welcomes the joyless hour when we'll all be debris, and its expression of obliteration is a fascinating thing.

Dinner - Day 0 @7pm is going to be held at Honda-ya in the Little Tokyo MALL (not plaza) at 7pm on Thurs Day 0. reservations have been made in the tatami section of the restaurant so we will be chillin' on the floor with our shoes off (so make sure to wear CLEAN SOCKS!) you have been warned. Bring your laptops for show and tell if you wish, and charge them. I did not check if they have outlets we can use. This little gathering will be completely informal. i plan on drinking I WILL CHECK ABOUT VALIDATED PARKING.
Hey guys, are we ready for another fun-filled geek meet???
Yeah i thought so.
Here's the layout of the past, and the plan:
Last year: we had the unfortunate lack of a TV to play amvs like we'd done the last 3 years. It was planned, however last minute things came up and it fell out of our control. I apologize deeply for this, I was as disappointed, if not more, than all of you. And i apologize to Sproth specifically because he chose last year to not bother bringing his laptop.
So this year:
Something New: It never fails. Each gathering everyone falls into their clicks and that's where they stay. No new people and faces being met and learned. It's understandable since it gets kinda loud at the restaurant therefore making it difficult to open up to new people. So here's my plan, assuming we'll have access to a large screen I want every editor in attendance to introduce themselves to the entire gathering. "But Rider, that'd be too embarrassing!... " Yeah, i know. Most of us are pretty introverted and have a hard time opening up for large crowds. .....that's where your editing skills are gonna come in handy I am requesting that all of you create a 1-minute (or less) video that represents yourself as a member of the AMV community. Example of this could be splicing together your best known or most proud work. Include your handle(s), awards you may have won, your real name if you wish, whatever you do MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GOOD. Do not be shy! Brag about yourself! You will still be required to step forward so we can all match a face to the videos tho. (it'll make it easier on me at least.) NOW, people will know "oh! so-and-so made such-and-such!" voila! conversation starter! EXAMPLE.
Tech Requirements: mp4 or avi, 1 minute or less, COMPRESSED (being only a minute there better not be anything over 50 megs - use zarxgui for compression if you need to). just shoot me a pm with a link by the 24th of June. any later and you run the risk of me being too busy to get it and then not being shown. i'll let you know if i have any problems.
***in case you're wondering, time restraints won't permit showing entire amvs as your representation. because this will be a scheduled event it won't go on for 4 hours like it did at Oiwake****
The AMV Poster will return!
I also have a new game in mind that may end up being experimental when we actually do it. However we decide to pull it off i'm sure it'll be good and satisfying.
Prizes: There will be games at this event and prizes are needed! I am requesting that if you have anything (new) you would like to donate as a prize then you will get full credit for doing so when given out.
We also have a sponsor that will have a booth in the Vendor Hall!

Texas Gun Group: No More Carrying Rifles in Target, Wal-Mart
The president of the Texas gun group scolded by the National Rifle Association for bringing rifles into restaurants and retail stores said his group has already quit carrying large guns through Target Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores locations.
"It was distracting from our mission," C.J. Grisham, the president of Open Carry Texas, said Thursday. "Our purpose and goal is to get open carry of handguns to pass into law. The conversation was allowed to shift by gun-control extremists to whether guns could be carried at all."
Mr. Grisham said the NRA's piece — which called the rifle demonstrations "downright weird" — was "ignorant." He said his group has received no direct apology from the NRA, which has since removed the essay from its website and replaced it with a 12-minute interview of NRA Executive Director Chris W. Cox apologizing for the essay's publication.
"If the NRA wants to work with us to get open carry passed, that's great, but were going to fight to get open carry passed with or without the NRA," Mr. Grisham said. "They are not the copyright or patent holders of the Second Amendment."
NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said the group had nothing to say about the saga beyond Mr. Cox's statement.
In the midst of the Open Carry Texas-NRA spat, the Mike Bloomberg-funded Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America on Tuesday launched a petition drive to ask Target to forbid guns in its stores. Mr. Grisham said pictures used by Moms Demand Action of Open Carry members toting rifles in a Dallas-area Target were taken in January and posted to the Internet in March.
Open Carry Texas, Mr. Grisham said, stopped bringing its rifles into stores like Target because Texas law forbids firearms in places where alcohol is sold. Mr. Grisham said rescinding the alcohol-guns prohibition is among his group's top priorities.
"What Moms Demand Action is doing is digging into our photo archives and trying to smear us," Mr. Grisham said. "Really, they're desperate, and that's why they're going off into our photo archives."
Moms Demand Action spokeswoman Erika Soto Lamb said the group is only using the photos Open Carry Texas posted online.
"This isn't about the guns – it's about the people carrying the guns. How are we to know whether they are 'good guys' or 'bad guys'?" Ms. Soto Lamb said. "When we're shopping with our kids at Target, how are we to know if the guy carrying a rifle is a political activist or if we should duck and cover?"
Now, instead of going into retail outlets, Open Carry Texas's members meet in public spaces like parking lots or in stores and restaurants that give them permission to demonstrate, Mr. Grisham said. Most restaurateurs have no problem with Open Carry Texas members dining with their guns, he said.
"More than 95% of our local press is very positive," Mr. Grisham said. "We're getting to the point now where really it's a non-story. There's no controversy in Texas. The controversy is based out of New York."

Here's one that's been bothering me for a couple years now:
What is wrong with Hasbro's product photographers? Every time Hasbro releases their "high resolution" production photos of upcoming figures the pictures are almost always terrible. The lighting is bad, the figures are posed in such a way that I wonder if the photographers have ever even seen Star Wars (much less a human body) before, and it's like they are trying their best to accentuate all of the flaws of the toy. So, do Hasbro's photographers realize that their job is to make their product look appealing? Because it sure doesn't seem like anyone has told them that.
This is the kind of thing I'm talking about when I say that it seems like Hasbro's photographers have never even seen the Star Wars movies before:

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of FRESCHETTA®. All opinions are 100% mine.
Did you ever have one of those nights when you get home after picking up the kids from practice and have no idea what you're going to have for dinner?
Unfortunately, around my house these days, those kinds of evenings happen far too often!
Luckily, just last week I received (along with a cool bamboo cutting board), a coupon to try the new FRESCHETTA® Simply…Inspired™ pizza.
I picked the classic bruschetta variety. It reminded me of the pizza margarita we loved in Italy. Thin, crispy crust, basil, tomatoes and roasted garlic, a bit of cheese and a spicy tomato and garlic pesto sauce.
It cooked up fast and was ready to eat in no time. I loved how the crust turned out. Thin and crispy, and not a bit thick or doughy. The only problem was I should have bought two! This was a hit with my kids as well. It was gone in a flash.
The packaging was different too. It comes in what they call FRESCH-TASTE SEAL packaging, that keeps the pizza fresh, locks in the vibrant flavors, yet uses 30% less packaging.
It was definitely a product that I will purchase again and keep on hand for those crazy-busy evenings.
And guess what? The nice folks at Freschetta have a gift for one of my readers too! One lucky winner will receive their own Freschetta coupon along with a neato bamboo cutting board.

Family: Lycaenidae, Gossamer-wing Butterflies view all from this family
Description The Karner Blue, Lycaeides melissa samuelis, is a small, blue butterfly found in small areas of New Jersey, the Great Lakes region, southern New Hampshire, and the Capital District region of New York. The butterfly, whose lifecycle depends on the wild blue lupine flower (Lupinus perennis), is classified as an endangered species. In May 2000, the Canadian Species at Risk Act listed the Karner Blue as being locally extinct in Canada. This subspecies of Lycaeides melissa was described by novelist Vladimir Nabokov. It is sometimes placed in the genus Plebejus.
Local conservation efforts, concentrating on replanting large areas of blue lupine which have been lost to development (and to fire suppression, which destroys the open, sandy habitat required by blue lupine), are having modest success at encouraging the butterfly's repopulation. The Karner Blue is the official state butterfly of New Hampshire. The Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in central Wisconsin is home to the world's largest population of Karner Blues, which benefit from its vast area of savannah and extensive lupine.
The Karner Blue was first identified and named by novelist and lepidopterist Vladimir Nabokov. The name originates from Karner, New York (located half-way between Albany and Schenectady) in the Albany Pine Bush), where it was first discovered. Lupine blooms in late May. There are two generations of Karner Blues per year. The first in late May to mid June. The second from mid-July to mid-August.
In the novel Pnin, Nabokov describes a score of Karner Blues without naming them.
Dimensions 7/8-1 1/4" (22-32mm).
Endangered Status The Karner Blue, a subspecies of the Melissa Blue, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Like so many endangered species, this butterfly has been the victim of loss of habitat to humans. Each type of butterfly relies on particular plants for feeding and laying eggs on. The Karner Blue can't live without Wild Lupine, a plant that has become increasingly rare in the eastern U.S. Development has overtaken the lupine's habitat in many areas, and fire suppression affects its habitat in others, allowing forests to encroach and shade out the lupines and other meadow plants. The Karner Blue declined alongside the lupine, and then its small populations were further reduced by collectors, who wanted the rare and beautiful butterfly for their collections. While recovery plans are being drawn up for the Karner Blue, the butterfly receives protection in several federal and state preserves.
Habitat Forests & woodlands, Meadows & fields, Alpine & subalpine habitats.
Range New England, Plains, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes.

Oh. My. GOD!
I'm guessing it's a new continuity, as it doesn't quite mesh with any previous G1 incarnation I know of, but, damn, that looks sweet! The bit with the Omega Sentinel (might be Omega Supreme, but coloration is a bit different) was freaking awesome. Not that the whole thing wasn't, but that was awesome on the scale of Teek and Jaxxon singing "Baby Got Back."

The seven tracks comprising Knickknack Avalanche ($7 at fallandbounce.bandcamp.com) are a solid starting point for the Providence-based quartet. There's a hazy cloud of '70s rock on opening cuts "Discard," "Crossroad," and "Headlines." Fall & Bounce bob and weave through multiple musical styles, with Christine Hauck (bass) and Jaime Craighead (drums) more than keeping the pace while guitarist Bill Reed kicks out riffs ranging from blues and acoustic ("Storm") to good old-fashioned crunchy grunge ("Stones" and Knickknack standout "Glory"). We get the sultrier side of BellaRosa on the excellent "Words Fall," then laugh along with the fun chug of "Drunk Txt," allowing the acclaimed singer to further strut her stuff. Just over one year in, the band has garnered some impressive regional awards, including Best Breakthrough Act in our 2012 Best Music Poll. The mash of musical influences is evident judging by the wide array of bills the band has shared with local acts including Psychedelic Clown Car, the Agents, Route .44, and Northern Lands — and they just landed an opening slot for '80s rockers Zebra in October at the Rock Junction in West Greenwich (tix at brownpapertickets.com). Fall & Bounce will debut some new tunes at Dusk this Friday, with two sharp openeers acts in tow.
FALL & BOUNCE + SOURPUNCH + ATLANTIC THRILLS | Friday, September 14 @ 9 pm | Dusk, 301 Harris Ave, Providence | 401.714.0444 | $6 | reverbnation.com/fallandbounce

1408 & The Shawshank Redemption - both the story and movie are pretty faithful adaptions from what I remember. 1408 was just ok and Shawshank was great.
Never read The Mist, but I really liked the movie. Which reminds me that I still need to watch the black & white version.
I just finished (500) Days of Summer. Really good movie about relationships that doesn't fall into the typical pitfalls. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is quickly becoming of my favorite actors.

In this year of political debate, economic ups and downs, and politicians stump jumping to get your vote…
Wouldn't be nice if we could see a politician that shared our values, our beliefs, our commitment.
Wouldn't be nice if just one of the politicians demonstrated that he was Trustworthy, Loyal, helpful.
Wouldn't be nice if we could count on the process to be Courteous and Kind.
Wouldn't it be nice if those that have been chosen to lead were obedient.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could see a genuine cheerful spirit and not just the obligatory perma -grin.
Wouldn't be nice if they were thrifty just like the rest of us. Brave enough to make the right choice. Clean in thought and deed and of course Reverent to our creator.
Just think of the picture our politicians would paint if they just lived by 12 simple values. Just think of how much greater our Country would be if we could count on them to act like we would like them too.. in short.. like Scouts.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

This company didn't suck up quite as much money as Solyndra ... only $70 million before the plug was pulled on its $400 million Fed loan guarantee ... but at least Solyndra was supposed to produce a superior product, if it could have found a way to survive.
Abound Solar was a total boondoggle.
The video attached to the article shows one of their panels burning and cracking in the hot sun.Internal documentation and testimony from sources within Abound show that the company was selling a faulty, underperforming product, and may have mislead lenders at one point in order to keep itself afloat.
Our solar modules worked as long as you didnt put them in the sun, an internal source told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

There is a void of leadership on Mississippi State's team, but Craig Sword has been doing what he can to fill it.
He's only a freshman, of course, but he's got as much experience as any of the other MSU players on the floor. The Bulldogs (9-21), who open SEC Tournament play on Wednesday against South Carolina (14-17), are playing with six scholarship guys and two walk-ons.
Sword, a 6-foot-3 guard, is one of three freshmen who're starting, and the other starters are junior college transfers. Sophomore Roquez Johnson comes off the bench and has played well of late, but he barely played last year and missed three games earlier this season with a suspension.
In his last two games, Sword has averaged 19.5 points on 14-of-26 shooting, and he was named the SEC freshman of the week on Monday. He's starting to show the signs of growth that coaches hope to see out of freshmen at this point in a season.
"I'll tell you one thing that he has really, in my mind, has gotten better at is his pace has changed," MSU assistant coach Chris Hollender said. "He's got a motor and he can go extremely fast all the time, and what we're trying to get him to do is slow him down and see things consistently.
"I think he's done a really good job of changing pace and slowing down when he needs to, and recognizing situations throughout the games."
Sword's quickness is an asset and allows him to blow past defenders, but it's also a liability because his decision-making often can't keep up with his feet. That's a big reason he's averaging 4.3 turnovers per game.
Plus, the thin roster has forced him to be the backup point guard and handle the ball a lot. That role has forced him to be a catalyst, which is something that seems to come natural to him.
In last week's 79-72 loss at South Carolina, Sword scored 11 points over a stretch of 4 minutes, 15 seconds as MSU cut a 22-point deficit to five points. Against Auburn, he scored 13 points after halftime and nailed the game-winning free throws in overtime.
"Craig is that guy for us who has to be able to get in the lane and go make plays when we can't find offense," head coach Rick Ray said.
For the season, Sword is averaging a team-leading 10.3 points per game to go with 2.3 assists and 1.6 steals.
In two games against South Carolina this year, he has scored a total of 38 points, so coach Frank Martin knows Sword will be a handful again Wednesday.
"He's got good size, he's got real good athleticism, and he understands how to play," Martin said.
And Hollender believes Sword knows how to lead. For this team, that's an invaluable commodity.
"His personality and his ability to communicate with people and his wanting to win and willingness to compete make him a natural leader for us in the locker room," Hollender said.

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Tygacil

This medication may increase the risk of death. It should only be used when other treatments have not worked. Discuss the risks and benefits of this medication, as well as other effective and possibly safer treatments for your infection, with your doctor.Who should not take tigecycline intravenous?
This medication is used to treat certain serious bacterial infections which may be resistant to other antibiotics. This medication is known as a glycylcycline antibiotic. It is related to the tetracycline class of antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.
This medication is given by injection into a vein over 30-60 minutes by a healthcare professional. Doses are usually repeated every 12 hours or as directed by your doctor. The dose and length of treatment depend on your condition and response to therapy.
If you are giving this medication to yourself at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. Swirl the medication gently to mix. Do not shake. The mixed medication should be yellow to orange in color. Before using, check this product visually for particles or green/black discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.
Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, take this drug at evenly spaced intervals.
Continue to take this medication until the full-prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection.
Inform your doctor if your condition worsens or has not improved within 14 days.
Nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, or pain/swelling at the injection site may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: sunburn (sun sensitivity), signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine), unusual fatigue, severe stomach/abdominal pain, hearing changes (e.g., ringing in the ears, decreased hearing), irregular heartbeat, easy bleeding/bruising, yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine.
Tetracycline drugs such as tigecycline may rarely cause a serious increase in pressure inside the skull (intracranial hypertension-IH). The risk of this side effect is greater for women of childbearing age who are overweight or who have had IH in the past. If IH develops, it usually goes away after tigecycline is stopped; however, there is a chance of permanent vision loss or blindness. Get medical help right away if you have: persistent/severe headache, vision changes (such as blurred/double vision, decreased vision, sudden blindness), persistent nausea/vomiting.
This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition (Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea) due to a resistant bacteria. This condition may occur weeks to months after treatment has stopped. Do not use anti-diarrhea products or narcotic pain medications if you have the following symptoms because these products may make them worse. Tell your doctor right away if you develop: persistent diarrhea, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, or blood/mucus in your stool.
Use of this medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in oral thrush or a new vaginal yeast infection (oral or vaginal fungal infection). Contact your doctor if you notice white patches in your mouth, a change in vaginal discharge or other new symptoms.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but get medical help right away if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
