CBI Scotland officially registers support for a No vote
THE pro-United Kingdom Better Together campaign got a huge boost yesterday when CBI Scotland formally announced its backing for a referendum No vote.
The group, which represents businesses throughout the country, registered with the Electoral Commission, enabling it to spend money promoting the battle to defeat the Yes Scotland movement.
CBI Scotland can now spend more than £10,000 campaigning under electoral law, can access the electoral register and has a right to attend postal vote opening sessions, polling stations and the counting of votes.
It has been vociferous in its No backing, but its latest move creates a new business-led "front" to defeat the Yes campaign.
The decision was condemned, however, by the pro-separatist Business for Scotland group.
Tony Banks, its chairman, said he would quit the CBI.
Mr Banks, who as chairman of the Balhousie Care Group appeared on the Channel 4 show Secret Millionaire, said: "It's abundantly clear the CBI isn't representing its members' views honestly.
"It has attempted to hijack its members without proper consultation on their views and many must now feel they are in an impossible position."
A CBI spokesman said: "The CBI has clearly stated its position that Scotland and the rest of the UK are stronger together."
CBI Scotland director Iain McMillan gave evidence to Holyrood's Economy Committee earlier this month when he told MSPs that key issues for members included the currency, EU membership, the deficit and what he called the "fragmentation" of the UK market.
It's abundantly clear the CBI isn't representing its members' views honestly
"In terms of an independent Scotland, there would be every bit as much need to attack the deficit and deal with fiscal consolidation going forward and that of course would result in many difficult decisions about tax and spend," he said.
The chief executive of Business for Scotland, Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp, said: "We've been calling in public and requesting in private that the Electoral Commission (Scotland) ask the CBI to register as a No campaigner.
"That they have now done so is a major victory for us and a blow to the No campaign."
But a spokesman for Better Together said: "Yet again Nationalists choose to attack the messenger rather than debate issues.
"Employer after employer has raised legitimate concerns and asked genuine questions about what leaving the UK would mean for businesses and for Scottish jobs."
Two companies said they will leave the CBI following the news.
Aquamarine, which develops wave power machines in Edinburgh and Orkney, is one. While the company is neutral, its chief executive, Martin McAdam, is a Yes campaign supporter.
Mr Banks is also pulling out his Balhousie group.

Holly Walsh
Guildford's own Holly Walsh has many a string to her bow, being a finalist in 2006's So You Think You're Funny? and Funny Women contests, as well as presenting for CBBC. A brilliant purveyor of one-line gags and witty puns.
'She's gifted with snappy wit and crackling talent' (The Guardian)
'She peppers her set with callbacks and clever asides and has easy charm' (The Independent)
'Holly Walsh really impressed... excellent sets and endeared herself through
some assured banter with crowds who really took to her' (British Comedy Guide)
'A talent for smart comic writing and the ability to keep an audience rapt' (The Observer)
'Her steady stream of witty and astute cultural observations belie her dorkiness from the first' (Chortle).
Holly Walsh tour dates
Spencer Brown
Probably the least dysfunctional comedian in the world. He was so naively secure as a child that he turned up to a school disco in a Michael Jackson Moonwalker outfit. Spencer is the product of a happy home. As a comedian, his stunningly inventive and daft wordplay has won him many plaudits. He is a contributor to the TV comedy shows 'Smack the Pony' and 'Comedy Nation'.
Spencer Brown tour dates
Brett Goldstein
Winner of the Best New Show Award at Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival, star of Love Matters and co-star in Ricky Gervais' Derek.
'Brett Goldstein is an actor and a writer who turned to stand-up in 2006. In 2007 he was selected to appear in the Comedy Reserve, the Pleasance's Best of New Comedy showcase at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (Chortle)
'... had the crowd laughing all the way' (USA Weekly News).

Livestock all around at the fair
WORTHINGTON -- From hogs being fed to cows being groomed, livestock is a major part of the Nobles County Fair every year.
Brandon Weidert, a member of the Grand Prairie Rockets 4-H club, spent a good chunk of his Thursday morning grooming the topline of his dairy cattle -- six heifers and a cow -- for the dairy show.
Weidert began training his heifers in June.
"These guys have been tied up since June but I let them out at night for fresh air," said Weidert, who is competing for the ninth year.
Each heifer was body clipped a week before the fair.
"It takes anywhere from a half hour to an hour," added Weidert, who also groomed six other heifers for two of his cousins who were participating.
The hair off the topline is spared for grooming before the show.
"We just spike it up and then we spray WD-40 to shine them," he said.
Thursday's dairy show started with Cloverbuds. Nobles County 4-H Program Coordinator Kendra Van Beusekom explained that Cloverbuds is a program designed for younger children between kindergarten and third grade.
Third-graders can opt to participate as a regular 4-Her or as a Cloverbud.
"Each (Cloverbud) 4-Her can show one animal per species but an adult or an older youth leader needs to be in the ring with them," Van Beusekom explained. "We make sure our Cloverbuds are kept safe."
Another highlight of the livestock program is the beef show on Saturday, which has the highest number of exhibitors.
"If you've never experienced one (beef show), you'll have to come and check it out," said Megan Prins, president of the 4-H board of directors. "There's a lot to see."
Today, attendees will be in for a treat as the swine, horse, goat and poultry shows take place.
Apart from individual livestock shows, a ribbon sale will take place Saturday to acknowledge the effort made by 4-H members for their livestock projects.
"It's an auction but we're not selling the animals," Van Beusekom said. "We're selling the ribbons."
As a fundraiser for each ribbon sold, there is an 80/20 split between the individual 4-H members and the Nobles County 4-H program.

Advert Description
Be prepared for winter driving with these Genuine Mercedes Benz Star Alloys + Pirelli 210 Winter Sport Tyres. Approx 7mm tread left so many winters life left in them.
I purchased these to use on my W204 C220 AMG Sport and they will be suitable for most W204 models (2007 to 2014) as well as other models but you will need to check compatibility.
Great for someone driving in the winter as they make a spectacular difference to safety and grip in both snow, ice and road temperatures below 7 degrees C. They also improve traction in muddy conditions.
Before selling the Mercedes I used to swap the AMG wheels with the winter wheels, the Mercedes centre cap pushes out of the one set and clips into the new set when swapping over.
Any questions please feel free to ask.

10" High-Rise Skinny Jeans in Danny Wash
10" High-Rise Skinny Jeans in Danny Wash is rated out of 5 by 83.
Rated 5 out of 5 by cedarwaxwing from madewell denim forever!!! These are my first pair of regular skinny jeans from Madewell, and I'm never going to let them go. The fit, the wash, and the material are perfect. I wear 23/24 and the 23s are perfectly snug in the waist - not too tight, but they're form-fitting. I LOVE how the tummy fits in these. They pockets really do "hold you in" in the most attractive, elegant way. They're also not uncomfortably tight in the legs, but they're extremely shaping. I'm 5'2 and the standard length hits right at my ankle bone. This wash is a great classic finish, too. It's not stuffy and not too broken-in. And like all Madewell jeans, they feel like BUTTER. I'm already saving for a pair in black - these jeans are forever!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MKDV from I love these jeans It's like they were made for me. Fit, quality, length, love everything about them. I'm 5'3", and they fall perfectly below my ankle. I'm between a 26 and a 27--tried on both and ended up going with the smaller. I also LOVE the Madewell Insider thing where you get to try on jeans at home for free. I live in the boonies, so it was so awesome to get a bunch of pairs in the mail and send back the ones I didn't want at no additional cost. Seriously, I have just become an evangelical customer. Way to go, Madewell.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Louloubean7 from BUY THESE, PEOPLE! I own probably 30 pairs of Madewell jeans and these are probably the comfiest ones I own. I'm 5'5" 115 lbs and am usually a 24 or 25 in Madewell. I bought the 24 on the sales associate suggestion. They were just a tad snug for me in the butt/thigh area so I returned them for a 25. They're insanely comfy and flattering and the 10" rise is life. Please buy these now!

Rated 5 out of 5 by eym0410 from Legs for days. You guys, I literally gasped when I tried these jeans on in-store. The wash is great, they are soft and comfortable and they made my legs look super long. I am 5"5 and a half and weigh 114 pounds- I tried the 24" in store (my usual Madewell size) and the length was perfect but I still had room around my waist. The sales associate recommended I size down to a 23" because they stretch a little with wear. Now I'm impatiently waiting for Madewell to ship the right size because the 23" is back ordered. But FYI the 24" did not disappoint.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EmilyBemily from Best. Jeans. Ever. I would give these jeans 10 stars if I could. Maybe more. I think I am going to get rid of all the rest of my skinny jeans and just buy more of these. They are soft, comfortable, do not stretch out over the course of the day, and I don't know what voodoo magic they used with the pocket situation, but my butt looks awesome if I do say so myself. And I do. I'm 5'5" and the length is perfect for me to wear with booties. ♥♥♥

Rated 5 out of 5 by NYMama from Perfect for Mamas! I tried these on shortly after having my first baby on a whim and immediately fell in love. They were the first thing I had worn postpartum that made me feel back to normal. I was hesitant to invest in a new pair of jeans when I was still getting back in to shape, but they were so worth it. I wear them constantly! They are so comfortable and flattering and hit perfectly on a postpartum belly. But really these look great on everhoen. These are the first Madewell jeans I have owned- fantastic value and I'm a fan for life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by laurezee from Magnificent jeans Not to continue on the bandwagon here, but these jeans are simply magical and honestly do fit like a glove. I like my jeans to be comfy and stretchy, but I also like when they hug my ankles tightly. This is literally the ONLY pair of Madewell jeans that fits both those requirements. I own many other high riser jeans from Madewell and if they're snug by my ankles then they're tight and uncomfortable along my waist. The Roadtripper jeans are soft and comfy, but then they're loose around my ankles and I'm not a huge fan of that look. I fully agree with everyone below on how comfortable these feel and how I want to get rid of all my other jeans and just wear these all the time. Can Madewell PLEASE make this exact jean in other colors? Why is this jean the only one that has material breakdown the way it is?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jackie2899 from New favorite Madewell jeans I already love all of my Madewell jeans, but I think these are my new favorite! They are incredibly soft and comfortable; they do almost feel jegging-like but still great quality and sturdy. Super flattering and the high-rise sucks everything in but isn't constricting. The 25 regular was perfect for me (5'3", 116 lbs). I am a true 26 in most other brands, so I would size down if you are in between sizes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by teddygirl from LOVE!!!! Oh my god.... So I've always just thought Madewell jeans were crazy overpriced, but when they came out with their latest collection I got curious. These are legit AMAZING. They fit like a glove but they don't SQUEEZE you, they hug you. I can breath, and eat, and move. I didn't find the 'magic pockets' to make a huge difference, but definitely some. I found the regular to be kind of on the short size so I went to a tall, but they are so soft with a perfect amount of stretch- definitely more of a jean than a jegging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by melizabethbax from Awesome!!! These are my new favorite jeans. Soft but yet, have those magic pockets that really keep everything in line. The color is perfect! I'm 5'2'', so the regular run slightly long, but otherwise they are great!

Smokey Bear (often called Smokey the Bear or Smokey) is a mascot of the United States Forest Service created to educate the public about the dangers of forest fires. He appeared in Disney's Humphrey the Bear cartoon, In the Bag.
In the Bag
Humphrey tried to get rid of the litter by burning it, but Smokey came in, stomping on the fire and saying his catchphrase, "Remember, only you can prevent forest fires."
A couple of Smokey Bear ads feature footage and characters from Bambi and, at one point, Sleeping Beauty.

Last day with acowboy and his girl :(
Annapolis Travel Blog› entry 3 of 3 › view all entries
Today we all slept in since we were out late last night and Lena decided to take the day off of work to spend our last day with Adrian & Myra. I started breakfast while Lena made Cappuccino for her and Myra. Scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage, fried potatoes and toast was on the menu this morning, and looking out the kitchen window at the cloudy/rainy weather, we were in no hurry to eat and get going.
The plan was to go to Baltimore's Inner Harbor and walk around a bit, grab something to eat at Hard Rock, then take Adrian to BWI Airport around 4:30 for his 6:00pm flight back to Arizona. We decided to leave around 1:30pm for the Inner Harbor, which gave us a few hours still to kill, so Adrian and I continued on our quest in saving the world, and each other, on XBox360 - Call of Duty 5.
As the time drew near, bags were packed and we headed out, but first I decided to drive them over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge onto Kent Island, then over the Kent Narrows bridge onto Maryland's Eastern Shore. A quick turn around and back over the Chesapeake Bay and we were on our way. Next, we needed to stop at the bank for Adrian and Myra, which happened to be very near the Airport. Once we found the bank they needed, it started to rain, so we decided to forgo the Inner Harbor and find a place close by and grab a bite to eat. Lena suggested we go to Arundel Mills Mall and get something there since there are lots of restaurants in and around this very big mall complex. Once there, we decided on a place call DuClaw Brewing Co.
We ordered four different appetizers, the girls ordered non-alcoholic drinks, and Adrian and I each ordered the beer sampler. This is a small glass of five featured beers, plus five of their seasonal beers. Most of these where good, but some I had to just chug it to get past the taste, and one both Adrian and I could not even drink any more of after the first sip! After all the beer, I was feeling pretty good, and Adrian was ready for his flight home. Lena had to drive of course since I was in no shape to, and we headed to BWI Airport.
Well the time had come to walk to the security gate and say goodbye to my dear friend and TravBuddy Adrian. Funny how after chatting with him for a year or so on line, reading his blogs and reviews, and looking through all his pictures, he was exactly like I thought he would be. He's a great person and fun to hang out with, chilled and relaxed, and willing to lay on top of a grenade to save my ass in the heat of battle! I was so glad to finally meet him face to face and spend two great days with him and his girl Myra.
The last thing we needed to do now was drive Myra to the New Carrollton Metro Station so she could get back to her place in Virginia. It didn't take long and we arrived at the station and said our goodbyes to her. She is so nice and easy going, and very easy to talk to. I hope her next two weeks here on the East Coast go buy quickly so she can get back home to Adrian :) It was a real pleasure having them both with us and can't wait to see then again!

Call for Irish FA to demand clarity on poppy issue
Fifa must clarify their rules on Remembrance Day displays to prevent another "debacle" after fines were dished out to the home nations.
That's the view of Gary McAllister, spoksperson for the Amalgamation of Official Northern Ireland Supporters' Clubs, who now hopes that the English, Welsh and Scottish FAs fight Fifa's financial penalties.
The Irish Football Association says it wants an "urgent" meeting with Fifa after being fined £11,769 for poppies being shown at a World Cup qualifier.
The fine of 15,000 Swiss francs for the Remembrance Day displays in the match against Azerbaijan last month is below the mark allowing appeals, leaving the IFA determined to seek clarity on the rules from Fifa President Gianni Infantino.
"The Irish FA did say in the run up to the Azerbaijan game that this issue should be discussed at the International Football Association Board meeting and it's vital that discussions are held with Fifa to get clarification on this matter," said McAllister.
"Firstly we cannot have a repeat of this debacle every time there is an international match played on or around Armistice Day and, secondly, there is a contradiction here which needs to be addressed.
"In 2011 the English and Scottish FAs were given permission to wear poppies on black armbands in matches against Spain and Cyprus. Five years later the rule seems to have changed with four associations being fined for marking Armistice Day."
Northern Ireland's fans formed a poppy mosaic and also laid a wreath before the Azerbaijan game on November 11. A minute's silence also took place.
The IFA are fuming with the fine as they sought guidance on the matter with Fifa before proceeding with the tributes.
The English FA has been fined £35,308 for players wearing black armbands bearing a poppy during the World Cup qualifier against Scotland.
Scotland's governing body was fined £15,692 for a similar rule breach with the Welsh FA also handed a £15,692 penalty for wearing plain black armbands in their game against Serbia.
There is the possibility that the four associations could unite to launch an appeal and McAllister is intrigued to see how the issue plays out.
"It will be very interesting to see what the other associations do," he added. "The English FA has been of the opinion to take the matter further if Fifa imposed penalties. The Irish FA are unable to appeal the fine but speaking as a supporter I would welcome any of the nations taking the matter further and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops."

(no offense to gay people, it's just a matter of preferences) Yesterday I was out partying with my friends, and this Chinese girl was apparently interested in me. However, I didn't really feel like it, had far too many things in my head and very politely told her that I just want to have fun with friends today. She was quite charming, sexy and spoke near perfect English. Her friend just couldn't understand it and was saying things like "WTF is wrong with you? are you gay or something?" Is this common in China? Or do you also think there's really something wrong with me?

- Summary
Soul singer Bettye Swann first came to international prominence with her now-classic 1967 No. 1 R&B hit, "Make Me Yours." Following a couple of years of recording for Capitol Records, the Louisiana-born songstress was signed to Atlantic Records where she recorded for close to five years (1972-1976). Now, for the first time ever, Bettye Swann: The Complete Atlantic Recordings – compiled by noted soul music historian David Nathan for Real Gone Music and SoulMusic Records - documents her tenure with Atlantic with a 23-track collection containing everything she recorded for the label, featuring the seven singles released by Atlantic, two of which - "Victim Of A Foolish Heart" and "Today I Started Loving You Again" - became R&B charted hits. The set also features two tracks only released on UK compilations; five previously unissued cuts; and both sides of Bettye's one-off duet with noted R&B songwriter/recording artist Sam Dees. Liner notes by renowned UK music journalist Charles Waring include quotes from Bettye, who resurfaced from retirement in 2013 to perform a one-time show in Britain.

LA COSTA -- The two most dominant girls soccer programs in San Diego County no longer go head-to-head in league play or the playoffs.
So when Torrey Pines High scored two goals in the game's final 20 minutes for a 3-2 victory at La Costa Canyon in a nonleague game on Friday night, there wasn't much more than pride on the line.
Judging by the level of play and the intensity of the competition, though, that was enough.
"I definitely think it was a lot higher quality (play) than we usually see," said Katie Trees, who had two goals to lead Torrey Pines. "That's probably also due to the fact that we rise to the occasion when it's LCC against Torrey Pines. It's definitely good to play in an environment where you have to be good, you can't make mistakes."
The two teams have combined to win 12 of the last 14 CIF San Diego Section Division I titles. La Costa Canyon won the 2010 Division I championship, but the Mavericks are competing as a Division II team this year. Plus, the most recent round of league realignments placed Torrey Pines in the Palomar League and La Costa Canyon in the Avocado West.
"We usually play these guys two, three, even four times a year," La Costa Canyon coach Mike Marvil said. "But this is the only opportunity we'll have."
There was a load of NCAA Division I talent on display, starting with Trees (Duke) and her teammates Kylie McCarthy (UCLA), Alexandra Bailey (Texas A&M) and Olivia Buechler (Michigan). La Costa Canyon countered with Mariah Butera (USD) and Brianna Martinez (New Mexico).
"There's a lot of good players on both sides of the field," Marvil said. "A lot of these girls play together in club (with the San Diego Surf). So they know one each other very well.
"That intensifies the competition, playing against good friends you've played with your whole life."
Both teams created their share of scoring opportunities, with midfielder Bailey sending passes to forwards Trees and McCarthy for Torrey Pines. The Mavericks (5-2-1) relied on the talents of their midfield tandem, Butera and Martinez, to generate shots and create space.
Trees opened the scoring in the 18th minute on a nifty play in which she raced for a loose ball in the box and deftly touched it past the goalkeeper before tapping it into the net. Torrey Pines (8-1-2) maintained the 1-0 lead into the second half before La Costa Canyon forward Ashley Doyle threaded a cross through the goal mouth to Martinez, who tied it at 1-1 in the 44th minute.
La Costa Canyon took the lead 9 minutes later when Pilar Torres played a beautiful long pass out of the back of the formation all the way to Butera, who ran onto it in the penalty area and buried a shot from the left side of the box.
"To come back from 2-1 down -- (that deficit) it's very disheartening for a player," Torrey Pines coach Dennis Costello said. "You're sunk. You don't know what to do. But they came back. They showed me a lot of fight."
The equalizer came in the 62nd minute. The Falcons forced a turnover deep in the La Costa Canyon end of the field, and Trees and Bailey ran a give-and-go to perfection, with Bailey volleying into an open net. Three minutes later, one of the Mavericks defenders was called for a handball in the penalty box, and Buechler calmly slotted the penalty kick home for the game-winning goal.
Torrey Pines outshot La Costa Canyon 13-10, and many of those were quality opportunities.
"We held the ball a little bit better in the second half around the goal," Costello said.

— Egwene al'Vere
- For the World of Dreams, see Tel'aran'rhiod.
External summary
|<<< Tel'aran'rhiod >>>
|Setting: White Tower, Tel'aran'rhiod
Point of view: Egwene al'Vere
Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve gathered in Egwene's room after their chores. While they were in the kitchens Verin, Alanna, Elaida, Sheriam and Anaiya all stop in on errands of their own but may also have been checking on one or more of the three. Later in Egwene's room she ties a leather strip through the Twisted stone ring so that when worn about the neck, the ring will touch her skin. She lays down and Nynaeve begins to hum, and she falls asleep.
She was in a field of flowers, wearing a favorite shirt. She tried to channel, and found she could. She took a step, and was standing in an inn. Perrin was in a chair chained but he is holding the chains as if to chain himself. A wolf is on the floor next to him. She finds herself outside and Rand is there by a campfire. Rand channels a sword and attacks her, so she flees. She is suddenly back in the field of flowers. When she grabs the ring and says, take me where I need to be to find the Black Ajah. Silvie is there and tells her "oh, you've figured it out." Egwene is in Tear, in the Heart of the Stone with Callandor hanging behind Silvie. She says the Heart of the stone is a good place to be for answers. Someone is coming and Silvie warns Egwene to leave but she doesn't know how. Silvie grabbs the ring and Egwene wakes up, and says, "that hurt!"
Egwene decides that next time they will set a time for her to be woken up. Egwene tells Elayne and Nynaeve of her journey. They decide that Callandor in Tear is where the trap for them is at and they must go to spring it and hopefully not get caught. Elayne decides she must get a letter to her mother. They will wait one more day so they can tell the Amyrlin where they will be going. Nynaeve suddenly remembers Mat and decides he would be the perfect messenger for Elayne's letter.

BeaconArts: Community Building Through Support of the Arts
Promoting the cultural vibrancy that has become Beacon, New York's trademark is our mission at BeaconArts, a nonprofit organization founded in 2002 to organize, promote and nurture the city's multi-faceted arts community.
"Over the past decade, the town has gone from sleepy working-class community to popular weekend getaway… farm-to-table restaurants, world-class art… all within a leisurely afternoon's walking distance." – Condé Nast Traveler
"And through the influx of galleries, craft beer breweries, organic food shops and more, the town has harmoniously kept its industrial character while also preserving the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley… Beacon has it all!" – Design*Sponge
BeaconArts has nearly 160 artist members and 90 business members. Second Saturday, organized and promoted collaboratively between the two, draws hundreds of visitors over two days each month.
Citywide events draw thousands to Beacon, New York, from the tri-state region and beyond: Beacon Open Studios, Windows on Main Street, Beacon Independent Film Festival, Keys to the City and Beacon 3D, and more are happening every day. As fiscal sponsor of these grassroots projects, BeaconArts is intrinsically involved in their planning and promotion.
Here's what else we do:
- Publish and distribute an illustrated, annotated map of Beacon four times a year for galleries and business members, distributed throughout the city and beyond.
- Serve as Beacon's ad hoc advertising agency, publicity agent and tour guide, working closely with Arts Mid-Hudson, Dutchess County Tourism and a variety of publications to ensure that Beacon is literally on the maps as a destination in the Hudson Valley.
- We are fiscal sponsors of the Beacon Arts and Education Foundation a coalition of parents, educators, businesses and other organizations that raise funds for enhanced art programming and other special opportunities for the students of the Beacon City School District.
BeaconArts is the artery through which much of the city's creative efforts flow and manifest, with expenses offset mostly by business owners and arts minded individuals who recognize the economic value in supporting local arts and culture.
Our mission is to enable artists to continue to live and work here by promoting their projects to a larger audience. Indeed, a wonderfully diverse array of new restaurants, bars and independent businesses are opening here all the time, but what sets Beacon apart from other Hudson Valley towns is our legacy as a home for artists and makers.
General membership meetings are held (mostly) monthly on the last Wednesday of every month; information regarding the meetings is distributed via the This Week in Beacon newsblast and beaconarts.org. You can also view past meeting minutes, financial reports and information about upcoming meetings here.

Comic-Con International 2009, which I will never get used to calling (always called it the San Diego Comic-Con or SDCC), kicked off with earnest yesterday and, even on the light news opening day, had lots noteworthy panels, particularly from DC, who had Geoff Johns, Superman and JSA panels for lots of content. I've also taken the opportunity to gather up a few links and noteworthy news from each of the panels in this post for those that missed anything.
- Blackest Night: The Flash, by Geoff Johns (Blackest Night, Green Lantern) and Scott Kolins (Flash, FC: Rogues' Revenge), will come out in Decemeber. Will feature the dead rogues teased in Blackest Night #1.
- Johns confirmed that there would be an Abin Sur and Hal Jordan meeting in Blackest Night.
- On Sinestro's daughter, Soranik Natu, he said there were definite plans for that subplot as well.
- Johns reaffirmed he was on the Green Lantern franchise indefinitely.
- Dex-Star, the Red Lantern Kitty, vs. Krypto, Superman's dog, was teased, but no concrete information on where the fight would take place. However, Johns said Krypto would be appearing in Adventure Comics in the Superman panel.
- Johns hinted at plans for JLA and Batman, going on to say his Batman would be "grounded, but perhaps different from what people might expect."
- On the Anti-Monitor, Johns hinted that while he's the power source for the Black Lantern power battery, he's not very happy about it.
- Absolute Green Lantern: Rebirth was confirmed for a 2010 release and Johns expressed hopes for an Absolute Sinestro Corps War.
JSA: The Great Society Panel
- Will split into two teams - the Justice Society of America and the JSA All Stars.
- Each team will get it's own book, with Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges writing the JSA title with art by Jesus Merino while Sturges will solo write the JSA All Stars title with Freddie Williams on art.
- JSA All Stars team includes (based on cover to issue one): Stargirl, Damage, Judo Master, Thunder, Magog, Citizen Steel, Hourman and Power Girl
- On Magog's series, editor Mike Carlin said it will explore, "why Magog doesn't get along with others, which is Keith Giffen writing what he knows." He added that readers will learn about his powers, where he comes from and who his mother is (Carlin joked the character will be called "Ma Gog").
- On crossovers between the various JSA books, it was noted that, "These books are not necessarily going to be crossing over all the time, but they're definitely going to be acknowledging that each other exists," said Carlin noting that "JSA All Stars" will tap into the "Magog" book while a future JSA Annual will explore the releationship between Magog and the new team."
- A "JSA 80-Page Giant" is planned for November with seven stories by the likes of Jerry Ordway, James Robinson, Williams and more.
- King Chimera, a new character for the JSA All Stars team, was described as an upstart hero who claims to be the son of an old Golden Age Flash supporting player.
- On the topic of Kingdom Come Superman and whether he'd be seen again, editor Ian Sattler said, "Again? Yeah. But soon? No."
Superman Panel
- Next Superman titles crossover was announced as Codename: Patriot, which will focus more on General Lane.
- Adventure Comics artist, Francis Manapul, described the comic like a "Norman Rockwell comic'.
- Hunt for Reactron will be a Supergirl/Action Comics crossover for the fall.
- The Thanagarians (Hawkman's people) show up in World of New Krypton to check in on the Kryptonians, who at one point had conquered them in the past. It was noted the Kryptonians are stealing one of Jupiter's moons to use for New Krypton when the Thanagarians show up.
- Superman #700 will be called Mon-El, Man of Valor and will see Mon-El return "darker, with a new purpose, and a new costume".
- The Superman Annual will be about the history of Daxam with art by Javi Pina.
- Johns said you will see every iteration of the Legion of Super-Heroes in Adventure Comics "eventually".
- World's Finest will be a team-up series of new Batman universe characters and new Superman universe characters, Gates said. There will be an issue with Dick Grayson Batman and Superman as Commander El.
Random Notes
- Kick-Ass panel saw the preview clips get a standing ovation from everyone in attendance. The movie, still without a distributor, is looking at an early 2010 release date. (via CBR)
- Jeff Smith announced he was going to be working on new Bone comics, the first of which would be BONE: Tall Tales in summer of 2010. (via Newsarama)

The Lights Out TV Show Trailer has premiered. Lights Out (2011) is a new F/X TV series directed by Clark Johnson and Norberto Barba. Lights Out's plot: "centers around "as an aging former heavyweight boxing champion [Holt McCallany] who struggles to find his identity and support his wife and three daughters after retiring from the ring. Financial problems leave him at a perilous crossroads – battling the urge to return to boxing or reluctantly accepting a job as a brutal and intimidating debt collector. Catherine McCormack (Braveheart) co-stars as "Theresa Leary," Lights' wife who is finishing her medical residency; Pablo Schreiber (Law & Order) as "Johnny Leary," Lights' brother and business manager whom Lights put through college; and Stacy Keach (Fat City) as "Pops," Lights' father and former trainer who runs the boxing gym owned by Lights." This new TV series looks like it could be a hit. It seems to be operating on multiple levels: a show centered on a financial and moral dilemma. Thank God for FX and their edgy television shows. They are closest thing to the premium television shows present on HBO, Showtime, and Starz offer. In some cases better than them. Check out the trailer below. Lights Out goes lights up (boy that was bad) in January 2011 on FX.

Parasoft, a leading provider of solutions and services that deliver quality as a continuous process throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), announced the availability of enhanced data flow analysis capabilities that help organizations rapidly identify high-risk runtime security vulnerabilities as well as monitor security policy compliance. This capability is available in Parasoft's Application Security Solution, which establishes a continuous process that ensures security verification and remediation tasks are not only deployed across every stage of the SDLC, but also ingrained into workflow.
Parasoft's Application Security Solution expands traditional data flow analysis from software quality to application security. This server-based technology statically simulates complex application execution paths to help teams effortlessly find vulnerabilities that might otherwise take weeks to find-or remain unnoticed until exploited. Vulnerabilities detected include SQL injection, cross-site scripting, exposure of sensitive data, and other potential issues. Since tests are performed completely automatically (there are no test cases to design, implement, execute, or maintain), teams significantly increase the scope of their security testing without slowing project progress. The latest enhancements not only draw upon an extensive knowledge base of common attack patterns, but also enable organizations to map the data flow logic to their own security policy. The result is realistic and accurate validation that is closely aligned with the team's security priorities.
With Parasoft's 20 years of experience helping Fortune 500 companies incorporating security and quality practices across the SDLC, Parasoft knows what it takes to make them practical and sustainable. Parasoft solutions have supported application security verification for years through rule-based static analysis, data flow static analysis, security metrics, and peer code review process automation. In order to ensure development teams that these practices improve rather than impact productivity, Parasoft solutions establish and drive a daily process that automatically monitors policy compliance at all layers of the application stack, identifies vulnerabilities, and collects process metrics. Development teams can secure code by simply responding to the reported tasks and management gains real-time visibility into overall security status and processes.
About Parasoft Corporation
For 20 years, Parasoft has investigated how and why software errors are introduced into applications. Our solutions leverage this research to deliver quality as a continuous process throughout the SDLC. This promotes strong code foundations, solid functional components, and robust business processes. Whether you are delivering Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), evolving legacy systems, or improving quality processes-draw on our expertise and award-winning products to increase productivity and the quality of your business applications.


text: Ok, so I ordered the 1500 OEM battery from igonemobile.com. It was cheap, and I'm not willing to wait for the 2150, nor am I willing to believe the 1750 from Sedio gives the specs they claim. So, I ran a non-scientific test. First I made sure that each battery was in the phone and charging for at least 8 hours overnight while at 100% (green light on, batterygraph says 100%). I turned off all radios but the mobile radio and shut off sync. Then I set brightness to max and turned off the auto adjust. This was to eliminate as many variables as possible. I set batterygraph (the app) to record the battery state every minute. I then started Pandora with a pair of headphones plugged in and removed my phone from the wall charger. I did this at approximately the same time both days (I think there was 1 minute difference). I went through my normal day, but I left my phone on my desk at work all day and just let it play music over the mobile radio through pandora into the headphones. I got 32,400 seconds of play time on the stock 1300 battery. (60 second increments) I got 37,260 seconds of play time on the 1500 OEM battery I ordered. (60 second increments. *I did have to place and receive one call on the 1500 battery. Total call time was ~30 seconds. And I received 2 text messages. Nothing I could do, I have to use the phone sometimes* So, I got a 15% increase with the 1500 battery over the 1300 under the most controlled conditions I could produce while being reasonable. 1300 to 1500 should give a 15.3846% increase, but I'm willing to chalk that up to sampling error or phone call, or text, or whichever due to how insignificant it is. I'm not trying to determine how many AH a battery has without testing equipment. I'm simply comparing other batteries to "stock" rated battery, and making the assumption that 1300 AH is a true figure. If someone would like the data captured by battery graph, please PM me and I'll send it to you. It does appear that the 1500 sold by Igonemobile.com is indeed 1500 AH, assuming the stock is indeed 1300. I would like to see the Sedio figures in a similar test. I'd be willing to do it, however I would want a battery shipped to me and shipping both ways paid for by Sedio (I.e. I'll guarantee that the battery is returned on my credit card, but I don't want to have to pay to ship it back). Or someone who has the 1300 and the Sedio that is willing to do a similar test and give their ratio relative to the 1300 would be good too. I think the best way would be to test all 3 battery's on the same phone, but I don't know anyone who would buy BOTH after markets. Let me know if you see any glaring flaws in the test I did. I'll elaborate if possible, and admit poor procedure if applicable.

Trudeau Liberals' approach to politics is what West needs
'A sense of perspective reveals this Liberal government's overriding philosophy: a worldview rooted in trust-building,' writes Zach Paikin.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. 'In these times of danger and decay, other countries should take a cue from the Trudeau government's approach. No party is ever perfect while in power. But the character of this Grit government to date—attentive, responsive, considerate, visionary and trustworthy—demonstrates qualities that are desperately needed to secure the health of the West and enhance the wellbeing of international society,' writes Zach Paikin.The Hill Times photograph by Jake Wright

I am a 20/20,48 Hours, Dateline junkie. If I see there is one on, I dvr it to watch without commercials. Last nighti watched one about Shawn Hornsby-- a kid who was kidnapped and held captive by a pedofile for well over four years. After that point, the guy got bored and snatched another kid. Within a few days, witnesses to the second kidnapping were able to lead the getting back both kids--but not until the guy had already managed to mess with the second kid.
The whole story is sickening and you feel awful for the families. The kid seems to have kept a wonderful spirit and was able to kind of recover--socially, educationally, etc. He cites his faith in his family for getting him through. I was touched.
During the story, though, there were shots of churches with "Praise God for bringing them home!" and other such sentiments. At the end of the piece the mother says something about his return being a true miracle.
***?! Where was God when that boy was being held against his will, screwed with emotionally, and raped repeatedly? What about having another kid kidnapped and primed for the same treatment--what about that is a miracle?!
Was God simply perusing the list of horrible things that happened one day when he wasn't paying attention--then said, "Oh crap! Let me wrestle up another kid who could stand a little innocence destruction--and make sure some guy sees the weird truck. Then--it'll be a day-yum mur-a-cull, and people won't think twice that it happened on my watch."

UPDATE: The open enrollment period is now closed. The next opportunity for new members to join will be in the spring of 2016. You can sign up for my email list if you'd like a reminder about the group.
So obviously the group isn't secret in the sense that no one knows about it. But there's a setting for Facebook groups called "secret," which means no one outside the group can read what's posted there. And that means the Encouraging Teachers Facebook group is a private, closed space for sharing teaching ideas and collaborating.
I created Encouraging Teachers 2 years ago because I was tired of all the complaining and negative press about teachers I saw online. I wanted a space for teachers to inspire and uplift one another, and talk about the good things that are happening in education. I wanted a space where teachers can pop in, browse a few inspiring stories/images/links, and leave feeling energized.
I closed the group to new members once we reached 9,000 to keep us from losing our community feel. We now have a twice yearly "open enrollment" period: for 2 weeks each March and August, new members can fill out a form agreeing to our guidelines and requesting to join the group.
That open enrollment period is here! From now until August 23rd, you can sign up to join us. We are looking for new members who are interested in:
- Spreading positivity to fellow educators
- Sharing classroom successes and "this is why I teach" stories
- Passing along uplifting articles about the GOOD things happening in education
- Posting funny and heartwarming memes, photos, and videos they discover online
- Providing helpful, constructive advice and resource recommendations
We need members who are not just looking to get encouragement, but who want to BE THE ENCOURAGERS. If you love to inspire other teachers, this is the group for you!
Our members are very protective of the positive, supportive tone of the group, so posts are highly moderated and all guidelines are strictly enforced. No new members are added until they've had the chance to carefully consider and agree to each guideline. It takes a few minutes to read through it all, but I want to make sure all potential members are 100% on board with my vision for the group before deciding they want to join.
See you in the group!
UPDATE: The open enrollment period is now closed. The next opportunity for new members to join will be in the spring of 2016. You can sign up for my email list if you'd like a reminder about the group.

StoveTec Rocket Stove Review: When Cooking With Fire Is A Hassle
Vic from ThePracticalPrepper.com came over to the house a few weeks ago to hang out. It was a good opportunity for me to pull out my StoveTec rocket stove for the first time so that we could mess around with it and get a feel for how easy (or difficult) it would be to use in a disaster situation.
If you're not familiar with the Stovetec, it's a wood burning (or "biomass" burning) stove that is popular amongst preppers as well as 4th worlders in sub-sahara Africa. It's got a door on the front that you feed with twigs and sticks, as well as an optional heat shield you can use to focus the heat up toward your cooking pot.
Vic tooks some video and did a video review, which I'll post here once he's got it up. So, bookmark this page and check back later.
Pro's and Con's of the Stovetec Rocket Stove
As for my impressions of the stove: Both Vic and I agreed: The Stovetec would be far superior than cooking over an open fire, in an emergency scenario. However– this type of stove would be our last choice, reserved for when we've run out of either propane or denatured alcohol (for use with other types of stoves).
It was too hard to get lit, and once we got it lit we had to really "babysit" the stove by continuing to feed it twigs and sticks every five minutes. Nature of the beast, I guess.
We had to resort to the 'ol "cotton balls dipped in vasoline" trick to finally get the fire going. This was surprising, since the wood was pretty dry– especially living in the high desert whe
re fire hazards are a constant threat. Just goes to show that Murphy's Law is pretty much always in effect: When you need wood to burn easily, it won't. And when you don't want it to burn… well… knock on wood we haven't had to experience that, yet!
So– should you buy one of these?
Yes. After a huge earthquake or some other type of disaster, you may either run out of propane or alcohol fuel, but you'll most likely have an abundance of wood or biomass to burn in this stove.
Will I keep this Stovetec as my only emergency stove? Yes, I will keep it. No, not as my only stove. But yes… I will keep it. It's smokey and let's face it: It's far easier to start up a Coleman propane camp stove (that you can use inside, if properly ventilated) than it is to use something like this, that burns wood.
But as with all things: You should have backups to your backups. The Stovetec is my backup to my backup (my alcohol backpacker stove); Which itself is my backup to my Coleman propane stove.
[I'll do a review on my alcohol stove, soon!]
Global Sun Oven Works Even On Cold Days
Warning: curl_setopt() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/bagkatz/public_html/sobertgummer.com/wp-content/plugins/amzn/tarzan/_httprequest.class.php on line 336
When I was looking into buying a solar oven, there were basically two options: This one and the SOS Sport Solar oven. The SOS was a bit less expensive, but it also looked like it might be less durable, and I wanted something that was built for the long haul. I'm glad I bought the Global Sun Oven instead because not only is it built really well, it's built intelligently, too. When you pull it out of the box, to set up the solar reflectors, you just open it up and it unfolds into place. I was impressed with how easy it is to set up.
The other cool thing about the Global Sun Oven is that it works well enough that you can even use it on cold days. See the video below where the woman is using it to cook in 22 degree weather. I personally haven't tried it on a day that cold, yet.

Coleman Two-Burner Propane Stove
Warning: curl_setopt() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/bagkatz/public_html/sobertgummer.com/wp-content/plugins/amzn/tarzan/_httprequest.class.php on line 336
We use this stove for when we're camping and also if there is a power outage. It's simple to set up and all you need to do is screw in a 1 lb. propane canister and it's usually good for two to three days of cooking. The main advantage to this camp stove (compared to a rocket stove, for example) is that you can use it indoors, which comes in hand especially if it's snowing outside and you want to make yourself a cup of hot chocolate if the power goes out. This thing is built like a tank. Highly recommended.
Coleman Two-Burner Propane Stove
List Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $53.57
Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 business days
Product Description
Convenient and reliable, the Coleman PerfectFlow 2-Burner Stove is a trustworthy choice for camping, backpacking, and other outdoor cooking opportunities. This stove offers 20,000 BTUs in two high-performance burners that adjust individually from simmer to full boil, for perfect outdoor cooking. The stove features an aluminum-steel cook top that's rust-resistant and easy to clean. The built-in WindBlock System shields the burners for maximum heat. Coleman's PerfectFlow pressure-control system ensures consistent cooking performance, even in cold weather, at high altitudes, and when fuel is low. The stove's convenient Dual Fuel design lets you operate it on either Coleman Liquid Fuel or unleaded gasoline.

The StoveTec Deluxe One Door Rocket Stove, Because It Burns Both Wood & Biomass
Warning: curl_setopt() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/bagkatz/public_html/sobertgummer.com/wp-content/plugins/amzn/tarzan/_httprequest.class.php on line 336
When you're in a real SHTF scenario and you can't (or don't want to) use your propane or kerosene for cooking– or you've already used it all up– you need an efficient stove that burns wood. The StoveTec is exactly what you're looking for. It's built like a tank and it's big enough that you can cook real meals on it. This stove is being used all over Africa because it is so much more efficient than cooking over an open flame. If memory serves, I chose the stove with the one door option because it can be used with both wood and biomass fuels (scrap lumber, forest debris, certain crops, etc…)
You should note: At roughly 25 lbs., it's too big for a bug out bag. This is a product that's built to be used at home, or perhaps when car camping. Highly recommended.
StoveTec Deluxe 1 Door Stove (Wood & Biomass Fuel Options)
List Price: $114.95
Sale Price: $114.95
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours

The StoveTec Deluxe 1 Door Rocket Stove with refractory metal liner, thicker cast iron 6 prong pot support top, & double layer kiln fired tile floor!

DVR Scheduler service, users have logged on via their mobile phones or online in order to schedule one million shows. For those unfamiliar, said service enables customers to tell their DVR to record a program without actually being near the DVR; so long as you've got a handset with data access or an outright internet connection, you're golden. Unsurprisingly, the most commonly recorded program via the service was SportsCenter, but we won't spoil the rest of the top 15 for you. So, how many times did you contribute to this number?

A man who helped trigger the passage of a law banning bestiality in Washington has once again been linked to sex with horses, this time in Tennessee.
Sheriff's investigators said Tuesday that 58-year-old James Michael Tait (right) was having sex with horses on a Maury County farm. He and the farm owner, 44-year-old Kenny Thomason, are charged with animal cruelty.
The Seattle Times tackled this story last week. Check it out here.

Small-Cap Stocks Finish Lower Amid Wave of Profit Warnings
NEW YORK -- Small-capitalization stocks fell as the technology and telecommunications sectors tumbled following a wave of profit warnings and layoff announcements.
The overall Nasdaq market also slid sharply lower, with the Nasdaq Composite Index of both large and small stocks posting the steepest declines of the major stock-market measures.
Several leading tech and telecom companies let it be known that their fourth-quarter...

This article originally appeared in the SCI-FI issue of CLOG. As it is central to much of my thinking these days, I decided it was time to share. The image below is artist David Lamont's concept for the Vorlon Transport B. You can see the original image and more here. I really wanted to include David's work with the original article, but CLOG chose to put a quote from my article on the opposing page instead. Since this is now on my blog I can add this awesome visual for those of you who don't immediately know what I'm talking about in regards to Babylon 5. I trust you have all seen Star Trek and Star Wars.
Analog — Digital — Organic
Star Wars and Star Trek offer seductive potential futures. One appeals to our hardscrabble romantic side, the other to the comfort of clean linear technological progress. Star Wars is an analog universe. Steel and mechanical energy are paramount. Star Trek on the other hand is a digital future. Silicon and the flow of electrons underpin all the advances. These sci-fi universes are extrapolations of then-contemporary technologies mixed with asynchronous future-tech required by the plot. Neither approximates our impending reality.
The creators of the mid-90s television show Babylon 5 better prognosticate the world to come. The Vorlons are the most evolved race; their technology is depicted as organic. Spaceships are made for and become extensions of specific individuals. Reminiscent of giant space-faring cephalopods, these ships are semi-living, semi-sentient: a hybrid of animate and inanimate. The spacecraft aren't built; they are grown. Chemical reactions and DNA are the building blocks.
The trend towards organics and bio-mimicry is apparent in 2013, though mostly visible outside the purview of architects: organic light-emitting diodes, DNA used as data storage for computers, and tiny organisms being developed to digest or produce chemical compounds. As these and other technologies reach the consumer, another critical trend will meet biotechnology halfway: 3D printing. The current expression of 3D printing focuses on the DIY freedom of desktop printing, mass customization, and the ability to print common materials like plastics, metals, or chocolate. But the larger potential of 3D printing is to act as the systematic tool for growing organics and other advanced materials. 3D printers will create objects using the building blocks of life: DNA, RNA, and proteins.
These printers will enable us to live in a world of designer materials—a world where the fundamental construction elements are not carbon or silicon but rather biological macromolecules. The architectural implications of this new reality are far-reaching. Every piece of a building can be as complex and computationally powerful as any living creature. Each component can be an engineered negligibly senescent organism with underlying DNA identical to the rest of the building or completely unique, depending on the needs of function or location. Just as buildings are now designed for specific clients, so too could materials be designed for specific uses.
The result will not be a world of Vorlonesque soft buildings with smooth surfaces covered with naturalistic shifting patterns and biomechanical tentacles, but rather one of smarter, more responsive materials. The trend toward organics will be about the essence of the material and not the physical appearance that describes its creation. The form of a grown object will no longer be constrained by our views of what organic matter looks like. Instead of a shallow stylistic visual shift in our environment, the future of organics will be a fundamental leap forward, a deeper change in how our world is built and operates.
