Slasher Flicks
Going to see them in London RIGHT NOW!
Europe Day 3- Barcelona
(By Liz)
Joe springs up, shakes Liz awake, and mumbles curses about not going to bed earlier. Liz and Joe hastily cram articles of clothing, maps, toiletries, and everything else people travel with into their packs, throw the key to the pad back inside through an open window, close the window so it locks, and power walk up los calles and onto the metro a el aeropuerto.
We made it just in time to grab a quick breakfast of bocadillas de jamon (ham sandwiches… what else?) and boarded our flight to Barcelona.
The flight was short - only about an hour or so. As we descended upon the city of Barcelona, Joe and I thought about how similar it looked to San Francisco. It's a large/small city (small enough to walk to most things but big enough to have a subway) surrounded by mountains right on the Mediterranean Sea. This was exactly what we needed - a beach surrounded by enough to keep us as busy as we'd like to be.
We took the metro to our stop (Fontana) and walked down a main street in this bustling area of Barcelona. We started down the street our next home is located on, and immediately heard a voice from above yell "Stop!" in a British accent. It was our host, Jonathan, waiting for us on the small terrace of his third story apartment. We headed up and were greeted by Jonathan and his American wife, Susannah. We learned that Jonathan is a sculptor and saw a few of his pieces in the apartment (a welded metal table lamp he made was actually next to the bed in our room). Jonathan was funny and sarcastic. When we told him we planned on heading to the beach, he suggested the western side of Port Olympica, where "there are less American tourists." He offered us their beach umbrella and we headed to the metro station, Joanic.
The beach was stunning. Yes, there were quite a few people but what else can you expect in a city that size? The water was the most welcoming shade of blue. It was chilly at first, but once our bodies adjusted we were back in heaven. A perfect start to our day in Barcelona. There were men walking up and down the beach selling beer, soda, and water, but we chose cocktails from the beach bar and happily indulged in a margarita and pina colada.
After the beach we walked through Villa Olympica looking for a place to eat. There wasn't much except for a bunch of pre-pubescent boys setting off bottle rockets and making a racket. We found free WiFi (pronounced "wee-fee" in Spain) and researched where to get the best paella. We ended up walking to the Barceloneta area and eating spicy, black rice paella with prawns, monkfish, and mussels with a few glasses of white wine. When the bill came we were quite surprised to find that the price of the paella dish on the menu was per person even though it didn't openly specify. We talked to one of the waiters who offered us his apologies and a free shot. We were disappointed since we were trying to say within a daily budget, but accepted.
After dinner we walked around the beach and the Barceloneta area. Soon enough our sleep deprivation caught up with us. We headed back to the apartment, got ready for bed and watched the second to last episode of Mad Men season 6. I passed out halfway through. And it felt great.
Europe Day 2- Madrid
We rolled out of bed, down los calles, and into el museo de jamon- yes, the museum of ham. Croissants mixtas (croissant ham sandwiches) made the perfect desayuna for a cool 3€ total. Our next stop was el museo de Prado, Madrid's most well known museum.
In the Prado, the works of El Greco, Goya, Velazquez, and countless others lined the walls. No photography allowed. Though I had seen a handful of his works in the past, and learned a bit about him in high school, I never appreciated the extent to which Velazquez was trolling. Seriously- check out his buffoon paintings. We saw Goya's "The Third of May 1808," "Saturn Devouring His Son," and other wonderfully dark famous paintings that I had only seen on JFW's AP Euro slides. The Prado's collection of marble tabletops was breathtaking, perhaps more impressive to Liz than the paintings.
At this point, we had paid nothing to see art. Many European museums allow students free admittance, and Liz and I both brought our Rochester IDs. Since el museo de arte Thyssen-Bornemisza would have cost about 8€ per person, we decided that 2 Madrid museums was enough, and that we would spend our time exploring instead. Our host Mike suggested that we check out el mercado San Anton, where a restaurant and rooftop bar can be found above a multiple-story market. Since his suggestions had all been solid to this point, we decided to head over. On our way there we saw el Palacio de Cibeles Centrocentro, and walked through el Paseo de Recoletos. The rooftop bar was fantastic. Liz ordered a frozen strawberry daiquiri, and I had a cocktail made with black vodka and lemons. We were enjoyed the view, the shade, and refreshing mist from overhead sprayers.
We continued through the city streets to another spot Mike let us in on- el Corte de Ingles. Though this 9 story shopping center would have seemed like nothing special, he noted that some of the best views of Madrid are available for free from the top floor's look-out deck. We got some great shots, picked up some jamon iberico de bellota snacks, and wandered though a shopping area, back through Puerta del Sol, and into Plaza Mayor. Onto Mike's next recommendation- el Mercado de San Miguel. This particular market was actually more of a gargantuan tapas restaurant that you are free to wander, paying between 1-4€ per dish for some of the most spectacular seafood, cheese, gazpacho, meat, sangria, pastries, and olives that you will ever eat in your life. We had fresh raw salmon with honey mustard, spiced cod, calamari with olive oil, 3 types of cheese, a cup of gazpacho, sangria, and Mahou to share. We were in heaven.
Since we were already so close, we stopped by el Palacio Real, where we gawked at architecture and sculptures, and took photos. We hopped on the metro back to our pad, showered, and shared a bottle of Mahou with Our new best bud, Mike. We told him about our day, insulted the southern United States together, listened to his stories about the nightlife in Prague and London. A great night- but…OH NO! Before we knew it, I was 11:15, and we had not been to THE OLDEST RESTAURANT IN THE WORLD, Restaurante Botin (founded in 1725) which closes at 12:00. We rushed to the metro, and GAHHH IT WAS CLOSED due to some technical difficulty. Liz did not trust me when I told her we could walk to it in time- we made it in 15 minutes, asked for a table for 2, and were seated in the oldest part of the restaurant next to the wine cellar. WE MADE IT! Mike warned that this place was expensive, but we had to go. We ordered the house specialty- roast suckling pig with a "half pitcher" of sangria (actually about 6 glasses total) with bread and a half liter of water and paid…ONLY 35,50! This was the most unbelievably tasty meat you can imagine, covered in the crisp seared skin. Unreal. We were serenaded by a mariachi-like group of musicians, finished our drinks, and took off into the night.
We walked north of Plaza Mayor into Malasana, (the "rock and roll" hip part of town, according to the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo waitress at the cafe yesterday) where we thought there was a chance we would run into a bar Liz read about- Tupperware (pronounced tupper-wah-ree). Passing through crowds of Spanish-speaking, Brooklyn hipster looking 18-40 year olds, we collided with Tupperware and stopped in, delighted with our luck. I had una cerveza, and Liz a gin and tonic. We admired the funky decor composed of plastic tv character figurines, wall sized murals, and eyeball lighting fixtures. We shared a third g&t and were off. We got a bit lost on our way back, hailed a cab and got back home. We hung out outside on the sidewalk for a few, then went to bed. So much magic in a single day: I must be dreaming.
Europe Day 1- Madrid
Sleep deprived and hungry, Liz and I arrived in Madrid at 9:30am. We hopped on the metro in the airport, switched trains twice and got off at the Anton Martin stop. Our airbnb host was ready to meet up with us, but we decided that food was the priority. We half-consciously stepped down a the nearest secondary street and wandered into a friendly looking cafe/bar. Liz had no idea what to order, so the tall, thin, vibrant woman (dressed like the protagonist from the movie depiction of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) suggested a "Spanish omelette," and Liz accepted. I ordered tomatillos con Brie y jamon Serrano en pan and we both feasted, entirely pleased with our selections (we were both especially keen on mine). We struggled to get in contact with our host, but finally reached him and met up. He lead us down a few calles until we reached a four story building with a large wooden door, and he lead us to the segundo an showed us our room. We unloaded our things and took off for the day.
We journeyed down calle atocha to el Musee national centro de arte Reina Sophia, where there happened to be a Salvador Dali exhibition. I was ecstatic! We explored the first and second floors of the rest of the museum until the time that we were allowed to enter the Dali exhibition on the third floor. The dalis were outstanding- so many famous works that I have only seen in coffee table books and online. We could not photograph anything by Dali, though I got a couple shots of Picassos in other parts of the collection. Liz and I crossed the street, and explored the real jardin botanico. It was relatively disappointing, and we were exhausted and semi-delirious since I had not slept at all since being in New York, (more than 24 hours before) and liz only napped for a few hours on the plane. We ventured back to our new home, and napped. I awoke, and shook Liz awake. Our host Mike was a British bloke who gave us a highlighted and commented map of the city with his suggestions- he noted a restaurant called Terra Mundi where they serve a 3 course dinner for 10,50 euro (euros are now worth about $1.31). We trusted that we would not be disappointed, and navigated to calle de lope de vega. We got a half bottle of vino rojo, pork knuckle, chorizo, potato and jamon croquettes, calamari and coffee (huge servings of everything) for 18 euros- WHAT??? The pork knuckle practically slid of the bone…
After dinner, we walked the city streets, watching the people, observing the nightlife and gawking at people sitting on terraces having dinner as late as 1:30am. We stopped into a cheesy looking Heineken bar where we got tequila shots for 1 euro each (they also offered a bucket of 6 Heinekens for 5 euros). Delighted, we continued exploring. We waked through puerta del sol onto calle de preciados where people (including prostitutes) flooded the street. Liz and I could not believe how many people were out and about until 3:00am on a WEDNESDAY. We ended up at a local bar (that Mike recommended) called la huelga where we had a couple Mahous (Madrid local beer) and met a girl named BreeAnn from San Francisco and her friend Demitrius (who lived on the street parallel to the one we were staying at). Another guy in la huelga gave us an unexpected gift. BreeAnn, Dimetrius, Liz and I shared stories and laughed over more Mahous until almost 5:00am when we crashed. See you again tomorrow, Madrid!
Don't aim at success — the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long run—in the long run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.

Puzzling News from Penelope
WOW! I don't think it's been this hot in a VERY long time. I woke up this morning around nine(!) and it was already 86 degrees out. I didn't expect that to happen this summer based on how much rain we've had. I guess we're kinda lucky to have some rays! I was stuck inside all day yesterday working, so when I finally got home I went swimming. I love having such a great swimming hole close to my house. It makes it pretty easy for me to take a quick dip in the river when it gets hot out!! We even have a rope hanging from a tree. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm just a big kid – the more fun I can have the better!
Enough about the weather… let's talk about ME!! Wait – we're already talking about me! Anyway, this past weekend was my annual get together with my best girl-friends from college. Since we all live so far away from each other, we rotate which one of us will be the host of the event so the traveling time is always fair. It was my turn to be the host this year. I love, love, love getting together with my friends, and I love entertaining! It can be so much work, but I know how to throw a good party – everyone always has fun! The weekend couldn't have been any more perfect. I'm so glad none of us have changed, and we are still just as crazy as we were 10 years ago.
Speaking of not changing…one of my good friends, Becky, hasn't changed a bit…she's still just as nosey as ever! Everyone was settling in, unpacking for our long weekend of fun, and Becky was getting to know her surroundings…which, as I mentioned before, was my house. While snooping around Becky found my puzzle stash, and before too long the puzzling had begun. As you're already well aware – once you get started, there's no stopping! And let me just say, if you wanna catch up with some friends, the best way to do it is by popping open a bottle of wine and sitting around a puzzle table. We talked about things I never thought would be brought up again. Let's just say it's a good thing there weren't any other ears in that room!
Hey! Where are your photos for my photo contest?! I need to see some funny pictures of you guys puzzling!!! We're just dying to give away some Stave moola.

What version is your SIMS?
has anyone had a problem downloading exams results
into Sims, get an error about needing version 12
Capita are blaming the Boards and guess what the boards are blaming Capita
non of which get the exams officer off my back
anyone got a suggestion
What version is your SIMS?
Same problem here. I tried changing the file to version 11 as some people have done on supportnet but this doesn't work as some of the students now have Xs which are not a valid value according to Exams. Either the base data is broken or they were introduced in version 12 of the file.
we are having a problem importing the results.
We contacted our support through the LEA Support and they gave us a patch to apply thorugh dbupgrade. Ok so I applied this patch and still the results will not import, I have been given a second DB patch to apply which I will try tonight.
We are on the latest Autumn Upgrade.
I will post back the results of applying this second patch.
PM me your email and I would be more than happy to forward the patch's to you.. although I would advise contacting your LEA support first to see if they can help.
If you are on Autumn Upgrade then you should be using Version 12. This is the version that all exam Boards should be using.
No good blaming the MIS porividers for this! There was enough documentation about it in August re. GCSE imports, which were in Version 11 then! We could not upgrade until we were certain we had all the results!
Get on to the relevant exam board and demand the correct version!
Which Boards are involved? Our imports worked ok yesterday with AQA!
Did you try this from the Capita Sims.net Exams Forum...
Open the results file with Notepad - the first line will end with 12. Change that to 11 and then save the file. It should now import into SIMS without problem.
imiddleton25 (15th January 2010)
One wonders why ppl post SIMS Technical questions here without consulting SupportNet - where the real SIMS experts usually are ...........
Did you say 'experts'? Ha!
I know that Phil Neal will vouch for the expertise of at least one person on there .............
The files are version 12, exams is 6.74. Apparently the error "Result not in range defined for the Aspect" is produced when trying to import. Files are from Edexcel.
Ah well it was worth a try, seems to have worked for quite a few others.
You should be on EO v6.76! (Autumn Release)
Not sure of the version if you have applied the Autumn Update - we can't until Capita Hosted SLG is upgraded first, scheduled for Saturday.

"Open the results file in Notepad and change the 12 to 11 and resave. I was then able to import all my results files into SIMS".
this worked for us

Healthcare pension fund plans to switch to more risky system
Tuesday 04 December 2012
Health service pension fund Zorg en Welzijn has become the first Dutch fund to say it plans to switch to the new flexible pension system the government wants to introduce in 2015.
The fund plans to move away from defined benefits - where pensioners know how much pension they will get - to defined contributions, where premiums are fixed instead. This means pay-outs will vary in line with stock exchange developments.
At the moment, health service workers have a guaranteed pension of 70% of salary (including the state pension AOW). Under the new system, pay-outs will be determined by how much money is in the fund.
'In bad times it could be less,' fund director Peter Borgdoff told the Financieele Dagblad. 'We are not opting for maximum certainty because that means a more expensive and lower pension.'
Employers and workers still have to vote in favour of the move and legislation making the change possible still has to be finalised.
According to the FD there are other legal obstacles to overcome as well. Many legal experts warn that the capital which the fund has already built up cannot simply be switched into a new system. And several organisations are preparing legal action against a forced change,the paper says.
The government hopes the new set-up will lead to a more sustainable pension system as workers live longer. At the moment funds are being forced to cut payments and put up premiums because of the economic crisis because their assets no longer meet legal requirements.
The new system was agreed by unions and employers last year and adopted by the previous government.

Stock exchanges are easily manipulative these days and thus a highly unreliable source to determine payout. Fixed income will be a better option.By 4 December 2012 8:18 AM |
This is another disaster waiting to happen. Run! don't walk away from risky business!By 4 December 2012 8:47 AM |
If they make this transition, they first must first not only convert the defined contribution plan to a lump sum cash value, but they must then present rules for when that cash value is available to participants. Will these monies then be available for loans or emergency withdrawals for the individual participant? Who would regulate this activity, if so? What will be the penalty for early withdrawal? There are many pros to having a defined contribution plan, but who will oversee it?By 4 December 2012 9:44 AM |
This is just all kinds of wrong! My husband (a civil servant for 25 years) already has to work two years work longer now. If his pension is cut based on the whims of a riskier market, how will we live? At least in the States one can retire with a full pension after 25 years and be young enough to work part-time or in another job. He will be too old to find other work to suplement his income. Do you see anybody over the age of 65 working here? I don't!By 4 December 2012 9:49 AM |
Retirement would be so much more fun if we could be kept guessing the amount of pension from month to month. A bad week for AAPL could lead to a senior citizen uprising. Nothing beats the smell of blue-rinse first thing in the morning...By 4 December 2012 10:50 AM |
Dear M. Hopefully this move does not "cut" into anyone's pension. Theoretically it can increase it's value tremendously and help the economy. As a Cash value retirement fund, for example, a person should be able to "borrow" from their fund with no penalty, as long as it is repaid,for the purchase of a house or other major items. Would be great to make sure participants have access to their funds when needed.By 4 December 2012 1:05 PM |
This is a no-brainer. Very few countries will be able to afford or justify defined benefit pensions apart from the base (AOW). Anyone arguing for a continuation of the status quo is effectively arguing for the shifting of risk from the pensioner onto the (smaller and smaller) tax payer. See http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions/article-2068056/Public-sector-workers-pensions-worth-20-times-value-contributions.html for more.By 4 December 2012 3:42 PM |
Another scheme to fill up the pockets of managers and ruin the people who invested their money???
If it will be introduced, the government should be obliged to give an option to switch the pension to a regular pension fund

From a Tech point of view, version 3 is ok to deploy, MSI's are included on the disks, but you will still have to point the machines to the server OBDC data sources.
I snapshotted this to get the registry keys and sent it out with the MSI packages.

text: On December 6, 2000, approximately 1230 central standard time, a Smith Team Tango 2 amateur-built experimental airplane, N6204D, was destroyed when it impacted terrain near Dry Creek, Louisiana. The airplane was built, registered to and operated by the pilot. The non-instrument rated private pilot, sole occupant, was fatally injured. Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) prevailed and a flight plan was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The cross-country flight originated from Georgetown, Texas, at 1135, and was destined for Gainesville, Florida.According to a friend of the pilot, the pilot was flying the composite airplane to the Team Tango Builder's Center, located in Gainesville. The pilot called the San Angelo (SJT) Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) between 0914 and 0924 on December 6, 2000, to obtain a weather briefing. The pilot indicated that he intended on flying at 9,500 feet. The briefer provided the current AIRMET Sierra for IMC over eastern Texas, AIRMET Zulu for occasional icing conditions, and the current conditions for Mobile, Alabama (KMOB) and Gainesville, Florida (KGNV). The briefer also provided the pilot with two pilot reports of icing over southwestern Louisiana. The en route forecast was based on the Area Forecast for southeast Texas, southeast Louisiana, Mississippi, and northern Florida, which indicated visual meteorological conditions and marginal visual meteorological conditions. The briefer then provided the terminal airport forecasts for KMOB and KGNV. Also provided was the winds aloft forecast for 9,000 feet of a west wind, from 270 degrees at 30 knots over eastern Texas and Louisiana. The weather briefing did not include a synopsis of the current conditions influencing the route of flight, or a discussion of the radar or satellite data. The briefer also only provided limited current conditions and none over southwestern Louisiana, where the accident occurred. The Area Forecast for southwest Louisiana was also not disseminated in the briefing. The pilot did not question or request any other information during the briefing except an aircraft type with regards to an icing pilot report, which was in the immediate vicinity of the accident site.A search for the airplane was initiated after the pilot's friends and family members became concerned when the pilot had not called to let them know that he had reached his destination. Radar data was unavailable for the flight and the exact accident time is unknown. The airplane wreckage was located by a search flight on December 7, 2000.The FAA inspector, who responded to the accident site, stated that the airplane impacted a creek bank in a heavily wooded area. The inspector noted that none of the trees in the accident area appeared to have impact damage. The airplane's cockpit was partially submerged in the creek, and the engine and propeller were embedded in the sand. The airplane was "shattered," and its wreckage encompassed a 30-foot area. Excerpts of the aircraft maintenance records and pilot logbook were located within the wreckage area. An NTSB Meteorological Specialist reviewed the weather in the accident area and reviewed the pilot's weather briefing. According to the Meteorology Study, the National Weather Depiction Chart for 1000, on the day of the accident, indicated a large area of IMC over the northwest section of Louisiana and eastern Texas. An area of marginal visual meteorological conditions surrounded the IMC area and extended from the Gulf Coast to the northern plains and Great Lakes, and bordered the accident site. A few weather reporting stations indicated continuous rain over southwest Louisiana and rain was identified over the Lake Charles, Fort Polk, and Alexandria, Louisiana areas with cloud ceilings from 3,200 feet to 4,400 feet msl. Surface observations for Fort Polk Air Force Base (KPOE, located 20 miles northwest of the accident site) and Lake Charles Regional Airport (KLCH, located 33 miles south of the accident site) were as follows:KPOE at 1155, wind variable at 2 knots, visibility 2.5 miles in light rain and mist, ceiling broken at 500 feet agl, overcast at 3,000 feet agl, temperature and dew point 7 degrees Celsius, altimeter setting 30.16 inches of mercury, remarks; tower visibility 1.5 miles.KPOE at 1255, wind variable at 3 knots, visibility 2.5 miles in light rain and mist, ceiling broken at 500 feet agl, overcast at 3,000 feet agl, temperature and dew point 7 degrees Celsius, altimeter setting 30.13 inches of mercury.KLCH special weather observation at 1303, wind from 360 degrees at 12 knots, visibility 2 miles in light rain and mist, ceiling broken at 2,500 feet, overcast at 3,200 feet, temperature 8 degrees Celsius, dew point 7 degrees Celsius, altimeter 30.13 inches of mercury, remarks; surface prevailing visibility 3 miles, precipitation since last report 0.01 inches.A review of the weather radar data revealed areas of moderate to strong rainfall in the area of the accident between 1205:25 and 1305:08. There were 6 pilot reports (some urgent) concerning the area surrounding the accident site. The pilots reported ice build up between 8,000 feet and 12,000 feet, and 500-foot ceilings and 5 miles visibility in light rain and haze. The area forecast for southwestern Louisiana, issued at 0445, forecasted scattered clouds at 1,500 feet agl, ceiling overcast at 4,000 feet, with occasional ceilings overcast at 1,000 feet with visibilities 3 to 5 miles in light rain and mist. The cloud tops were expected to be layered with tops to 22,000 feet. The terminal forecast for KLCH around the time of the accident expected VFR with occasional MVFR conditions.The pilot held a private pilot certificate with an airplane single-engine land rating. He was issued a third class medical certificate on July 17, 2000, with the limitation, "must wear corrective lenses for near and distant vision." The medical certificate application indicated that the pilot had accumulated 2,000 total flight hours. It was estimated by the pilot's friend that the pilot had accumulated approximately 40 hours in the accident airplane. An autopsy was performed on the pilot by the Calcasieu Parish Coroner's Office and Forensic Facility located in Lake Charles, Louisiana. No pre-existing conditions were noted that would have contributed to the accident. Toxicology tests for carbon monoxide, cyanide, volatiles, and drugs were conducted on the pilot. An unquantified amount of quinine was detected in the pilot's kidney and liver. Quinine is a medicinal herb commonly used for cancer, fever, hemorrhoids, indigestion, jaundice, malaria, mouth and throat diseases, parasites, stimulation of hair growth, and varicose veins. According to an individual, who was familiar with the accident airplane, the pilot had installed an airspeed indicator, turn coordinator, artificial horizon, directional gyro, altimeter, and a vertical speed indicator. In addition to the basic flight instruments, he also had a hand held global positioning system in the aircraft and a single-axis/wing leveler autopilot system.

During the 1960s and '70s, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, followed up on Hebb's intriguing observation with controlled experiments in the lab. The neuroscientist Mark Rosenzweig showed that, when compared with rat packs that roved in rodent McMansions filled with ladders, tunnels and toys, animals that languished in spartan, supermax-style cages had fewer connections between neurons and thinner cerebral cortexes. Marian Diamond, a colleague of Rosenzweig, showed that various types of enriched or impoverished environmental exposures could alter the dimensions and even the cellular content of the cortex at any age from newborn to elderly. Even four days of impoverished environment could have an impact on the physiology of the cortex and its ability to navigate the world.

Ravindran applies this study to the lasting effects of prison's solitary confinement, but I find it incredibly interesting as it may apply to work spaces, schools, homes and neighborhoods. I'd like to hear more about the "enriched environments" that can positively drive cellular development in the brain; certainly a case for architecture's value and modern relevancy.

Howard Roark: In Praise of the Self
The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand
"A leader needs the guts to stand alone and look ridiculous. But what he's doing is so simple, it's almost instructional. This is key. You must be easy to follow!
Now comes the first follower with a crucial role: he publicly shows everyone how to follow. Notice the leader embraces him as an equal, so it's not about the leader anymore - it's about them, plural. Notice he's calling to his friends to join in. It takes guts to be a first follower! You stand out and brave ridicule, yourself. Being a first follower is an under-appreciated form of leadership. The first follower transforms a lone nut into a leader. If the leader is the flint, the first follower is the spark that makes the fire.
The 2nd follower is a turning point: it's proof the first has done well. Now it's not a lone nut, and it's not two nuts. Three is a crowd and a crowd is news.
A movement must be public. Make sure outsiders see more than just the leader. Everyone needs to see the followers, because new followers emulate followers - not the leader.
Now here come 2 more, then 3 more. Now we've got momentum. This is the tipping point! Now we've got a movement!
As more people jump in, it's no longer risky. If they were on the fence before, there's no reason not to join now. They won't be ridiculed, they won't stand out, and they will be part of the in-crowd, if they hurry. Over the next minute you'll see the rest who prefer to be part of the crowd, because eventually they'd be ridiculed for not joining.
And ladies and gentlemen that is how a movement is made!"
-Derek Sivers, How to Start a Movement
This insight is as brilliant as the absurdity of it being based on a shirtless dancing man at a music festival.
"One reason colleges are able to indoctrinate students is that students enter college young and unworldly. It is very rare that adult students are convinced to abandon their values and become left-wing. Why? Because they have lived life and are much less naive. For example, someone with life experience is far more likely than a kid just out of high school to understand that the best formula for avoiding poverty is to take personal responsibility — get a job, get married and then have children — not government help.
Teenagers who spend a year before going to college working — in a restaurant, for a moving company, at an office — will mature far more than they would after a year at college. And maturity is an inoculation against leftism."
"The left has essentially defined a good person as one who holds progressive social positions — on race, the environment, taxes, health care, etc…If your child recycles or walks five kilometers on behalf of breast cancer, that is lovely. But if your child refuses to cheat on tests or befriends an unpopular kid at school, that is character."
Prager, an orthodox-jew turned conservative LA talk-radio host, is the type of in-your-face pundit with whom I wouldn't typically expect to share many views. In fact our shared perspectives end with his implicit assertion that morality, responsibility and human goodness cannot prevail without being centered in religion. I resent being made to feel like a bad human by the progressive social agenda as much as by biblically motivated social conservatives. I feel that inherent integrity and moral judgement should guide people in the absence of legislation. General benevolence and equal rights are undeniably good things, but they should come from good people, not strong government - Although this may be the sort of idealism that gets libertarians in trouble. To Prager's point, religion is at best one way to instill these values - but it is not the only way, and at worst it can be used negatively to promote inequality and unnecessary restrictions of freedom.
On education, it is worth noting that many leftists are not given the opportunity to attend an institution of higher learning - but regardless I have to agree that highly-paid, tenured academic-types do little to instill personal responsibility in students. A year or more of supporting oneself, paying income tax, getting a feel for the job market, or even traveling would do much to focus students on their way into college.

Abstract. We present the development of ANISORROPIA, the discrete adjoint of the ISORROPIA thermodynamic equilibrium model that treats the Na+-SO42−-HSO4−-NH4+-NO3−-Cl−-H2O aerosol system, and we demonstrate its sensitivity analysis capabilities. ANISORROPIA calculates sensitivities of an inorganic species in aerosol or gas phase with respect to the total concentrations of each species present with only a two-fold increase in computational time over the forward model execution. Due to the highly nonlinear and discontinuous solution surface of ISORROPIA, evaluation of the adjoint required a new, complex-variable version of the the model, which determines first-order sensitivities with machine precision and avoids cancellation errors arising from finite difference calculations. The adjoint is verified over an atmospherically relevant range of concentrations, temperature, and relative humidity. We apply ANISORROPIA to recent field campaign results from Atlanta, GA, USA, and Mexico City, Mexico, to characterize the inorganic aerosol sensitivities of these distinct urban air masses. The variability in the relationship between PM2.5 mass and precursor concentrations shown has important implications for air quality and climate. ANISORROPIA enables efficient elucidation of aerosol concentration dependence on aerosol precursor emissions in the context of atmospheric chemical transport model adjoints.

Owning a car is not a luxury: it's a requirement, because generating everywhere that you need to be is very common in today's globe we are residing in. Having a car is, however, a very expensive necessity! Not many are able to manage the price of a new automobile – and when you have a bad credit ranking, purchasing a car, even a used one, may seem absolutely out of reach!
If your credit is less than ideal, you are certainly not absolutely without options! But, it can be a stress to get car funding with bad credit: most conventional financial institutions and creditors will not be willing to provide you cash. Having a broken credit indicates that you will have to store around – probably a lot!
The down transaction you are required to make got you down? Well, before implementing for a financial loan, you need to be obvious on how much can you manage to pay monthly. Seeking a financial loan that you can't really manage will only harm your credit further.
But first, get a 100 % free duplicate of your credit ranking from TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. Confirm that there has not been an error that wrongly reduced your credit ranking. If you can, try to enhance it before you implement for a car loan.
If your ranking is above six number of, most used car dealerships will not have issues dealing with you. The same goes if you are able to get a co-signer with outstanding credit.
If that is not an choice for you, it is best to discover a used car store which focuses primarily on bad credit funding. However, do not implement to more than only one car store at a time, because several credit queries can further reduced your ranking.

Re: WCW 2001- The Trio Ownership
Spanks everyone for the comments so far. I'll post Mayhem tomorrow, well, I guess since it is 1250 in the morning, later on today. Like I said before, it's pretty much half in full and half recapped, so I apologize for that. The Cruiserweight Title match, Rey Misterio & Chavo Guerrero vs. The Filthy Animals, Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan & Eric Bischoff, and the Super Cage are all in full. Johnny Stamboli vs. Big Vito, the WCW North American & Tag Title 6-man, and the WCW World Heavyweight Title matches are all recapped. Alas.
If there are people who want to partake in the prediction contest that started like, 8 or 9 months ago, be my guest. I will tally them up before I post Mayhem, as I will still count them.
Take care.

text: Incompetent or Corrupt? 6 Jun 2013 Share This: I don't ask this of the Obama Administration, even though anonymous sources have recently attempted to explain away Benghazi as simple "stupidity" rather than a deliberate effort to conceal the truth (in an election season, of course). I ask this of the Media. As Notle points out, the American Media hasn't broken a single one of these enormous stories. Is that because they're incapable of doing so -- stupid and incompetent -- or unwilling to do so (corrupt and desperate to protect Obama)? I note Chuck Todd is Johnny On the Spot today with his "Bush did it." My oh my, how quickly Chuck Todd gets such stories out! He's out to sea when it comes to the real breaking news (that hurts Obama), but boy oh boy is he quickly armed with talking points to defend Obama the next day!

If you want to learn how to write a song — one that's built to last, with vivid characters and images that plant you squarely inside a scene — listen to Guy Clark.
Songwriters who revere Clark will tell you he crafts songs with the same precision and attention to detail he uses when he builds guitars. But Clark has a simpler, blunter explanation, as he told me with a glint in his eye when I visited him recently at his home in Nashville.
"No bull—— means no bull——, know what I mean?" Clark says.
I've been listening to and admiring Guy Clark songs for many, many years now: songs that make me feel I know the honky-tonk queen, wino or Texas wildcatter he's singing about.
Clark's first album, Old Number One, came out in 1975 and made true believers out of pretty much everybody who heard it. Among them is the Texas songwriter Lyle Lovett, who was in high school at the time. Now, he counts Clark as a close friend.
"In a big way, Guy's first record helped tell me what a song should, what a song could be," Lovett says. "A song that leaps to mind is 'Texas 1947': Immediately you're in the middle of a scene with a 6-year-old boy in west Texas, and you know something is happening. You're drawn in immediately, and you're waiting for that next line."
Clark is 71 now. He's a tall, imposing man with intense blue eyes; his hair's gone silver. He smokes hand-rolled cigarettes as we talk.
He's had health trouble in recent years: He has lymphoma, and was treated with chemotherapy a few years back. He moves slowly now, unsteady on his feet, after two knee replacements and leg surgery.
"It affects your balance — just being able to do anything other than walk around with a cane and complain about it," he says.
Clark comes from the small west Texas town of Monahans. He made his name as part of the vibrant Houston folk scene in the late 1960s. He moved to L.A. to write songs, then got a songwriting deal. In 1971, he headed across the country.
"Without even thinking about it, I said, 'Nashville,'" Clark says. "You know, anyplace but L.A. And I knew I didn't want to live in New York, so — packed up the VW bus and moved to Nashville."
He's been in Nashville ever since. In the '70s, if you were a songwriter, you wanted to be sitting at the kitchen table of Guy Clark and his wife Susanna: Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell and many others would gather around for guitar pulls and long boozy nights spent swapping songs. Crowell says Clark was the heart of that scene, the inspiration for lots of young writers — himself included.
"I had an audience of one, and that audience of one was Guy Clark," Crowell says. "If I could write something cohesive enough, powerful enough, strong enough, true enough that I could play it for Guy and look him in the eye while I'm doing it, then that's success. If he raised an eyebrow — or better yet, if he said, 'That's a good song' — then you could work off of that for six months running."
Singer Emmylou Harris also strongly admires Clark's work.
"It's hard to imagine the world of music without Guy, the world of language without Guy," Harris says. "He really embraces the human condition. There is no judgment in Guy's songs. … You know that everyone has been on a rough road."
It's impossible to talk about Guy Clark without also thinking about his late wife — a terrific painter and songwriter herself. Susanna Clark died last year after a long illness; she and Guy were married for 40 years.
On the cover of his new album, My Favorite Picture of You, we see Guy holding up an old Polaroid of Susanna. She's standing in front of a house in a letter jacket; her arms are crossed, fists clenched, her mouth firmly set.
"Townes and I were in that house, just absolutely, obnoxiously drunk — and she'd had enough. She just got up, put her jacket on and left," Guy says. "And that has always been my favorite picture of Susanna. From the moment I saw it that day, I had held on to it and saved it. 'Cause that was Susanna: 'Don't f—- with me, 'cause you will lose.'"
Clark has remarked that when he's writing, what's not in a song is often as important as what is. A good example, he says, is a fairly new tune of his: "Rain in Durango," from My Favorite Picture of You, whose entire third verse he now considers unnecessary.
"It should just be the first two verses, with a little more instrumental music, and the chorus again — and it would be a great song," he says, adding that he's not above revising a flawed song after that fact: "I go back and fix anything I can find that needs fixing."
At 71, Clark says he doesn't write as much as he used to, but he remains no less committed to the craft.
"I know it's still there to be done," he says. "I haven't written my last song, for sure. Nor my best one."

Vinnie Paz - Cheesesteaks
I was wondering when Vinnie Paz was going to release another song that's so raw…it makes the meat in the freezer look well done. Honestly, people who think rappers like Rick Ross and Waka Flocka are the "rawest" don't know shit. There's a whole genre of aggressively raw hip-hop, and Vinnie Paz is definitely one of the rappers at the top of the food chain. He rips fake rappers apart and eats them for breakfast. If you like this you should check out his outstanding 2010 solo debut album Season of the Assassin. My favorite song off of that album is Role Of Life, which is my overall favorite solo song by Vinnie Paz…but of course his work with Jedi Mind Tricks is a completely different story.
Cheesesteaks is Vinnie Paz's new single from his 2nd solo album God Of The Serengeti, which is coming out in fall. I can't wait!
My Song Rating: 9.7 out of 10
I already posted the video, but this dude just elaborates everything that I'm too lazy to say lmao
I originally posted because I said to myself, "Any man who can do a song named 'Cheesesteaks' is worth reblogging." Then...

Windows 7 ultimate x64
Odd BUGCODE_USB_Driver error
Hey there, so I've recently run into a bad bit of computer luck it seems. The other day I turned on my PC and it right away went to a "Windows can't start" message, something blew up, please repair/reinstall. So I figured why not, I had had my installation for a while. A wipe is no big deal. So I go to reinstall and I get this odd BUGCODE_USB_DRVIER BSOD, the worst part is its still in installation! Like I didn't even get to start, as soon as the screen pops up and I try and move my mouse. Bam it goes. I've tried different usb devices and the same thing occurs. I feel like this means I either have a bad windows 7 image or my motherboard is trashed. Any ideas?
Here are my specs if it helps,
M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard
Quad core phenom, I forget which
2x2GB sticks of ram

Is it possible for you to disable the USB controller in the BIOS? If you have a PS/2 keyboard and mouse and a Windows Installation DVD instead of a USB key, you might be able to get away with it.
If installation proceeds as normal, we can assume that the onboard USB controller chip is fried. You could buy a PCI usb controller card for not very much.
