I entered the Miss Wisconsin Unisted States pageant as a contestent and slowly realized that the pageant directors and staff had their favorites. The contest was supposedly scored as follows:
Judges Personal Interview- 25%
Swimsuit Competition - 20%
Evening Gown Competition - 20%
On Stage Question - 25%
Modeling - 10%
The staff refused to show any scores and were very questionable on how they came to their decisions. One contestant won and she completely bombed the On Stage Question. How can someone win when they lost 25% of their score? The Miss Wisconsin United States pageant is unorganized, tacky, and corrupt. The organization is about making money and the judges make their decisions based on who knows who. This is not a pageant for smart, beautiful people. They crown fat and unathletic queens. This is all about who you know. They are not open minded to newer and better talent. If you aren't cool with the pageant staff or locals, do not enter. They make you think you have a fair shot at winning, but they really just want you to buy tickets for the show to make money. I was very unimpressed by this scam.

Directors favorites
AUTHOR: nunya - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 14, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, May 14, 2013
I attended the venue, and it seemed to be run very well. I was there with a girl who did not win and she did not feel cheated at all just out preformed by the other girls in her group.
However, we did hear that the girl who bombed her questions and came in dead last in her group was offered a title as the Miss Jr. Teen Illinois, not sure if its true but if it is that would not be fair to the girls who did win or finished ahead of her. That may be a reason that someone would think that the directors had a favorite.

Poor Sport
AUTHOR: poorsport1 - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 14, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, May 14, 2013
The person who filed this initial report is not only being a "poor sport," but clearly, is not very versed in pageantry. The judges decide whether or not an answer to the question is what they deem a contestant demonstrating the criteria of "thinking on her feet," and in many cases in pageants, it is often not content, rather it is presentation that makes the difference.
As for the comment that contestants/winners were "fat and unathletic" that is blatantly false... as the photo demonstrates. The person who authored this clearly is out to soil the pageant's reputation, however, did not take the time to realize that a picture is worth a thousand words and in this case, it is clear that the author of the complaint is either looking for a skeleton to win the competition or just a very bad liar. In fact all of the contestants in the competition had great figures as demonstrated in the swimsuit competition. And in point of fact, being fit & athletic for your specific body type, does not mean you have to be a small size, however, all the
contestants looked great.
As an audience member, I could not help but notice that there was not much of an audience due to the event falling on Mother's day, however, having said that, the venue charges for it's rental and ticket sales generate the revenue to pay the facility. Unfortunately in this case, it was very apparent that the event had only sold a hanful of seats as there were more empty seats than filled. But the fact that the person placing the complaint made mention of this detail, indicates to me that we are going beyond sour grapes here. Why would anyone want to
speak against a fund raiser for the Milwaukee Art Museum & American Cancer Society when it was clearly so disappointing that the venue did not sell?
As for the comments that the director or staff, had "their favorites" or anything along those lines.... this is a common comment you here following every pageant. However, that is why judges place the ballets & why the accountant does the scoring. Directors & staff have nothing to do with that.
The contest was sponsored and the contestants did not have to pay to enter. This is highly unusual within the industry. Each contestant paid a $50.00 insurance fee and recieved more than that value back in prizes, including a beautiful opening number dress.
There is always somebody who has to spoil it for those who worked so hard and for all the other contestants and families that were proud to participate even though their condidate did not win the crown. It is a sad fact that this has happened here, however, in my view, I am grateful that the complaintant did not win - that would be a poor representation for Wisconsin indeed, as a title holder needs to begin her journey in humility, with a grateful spirit, a represetation of which is clearly lacking in the complaint author's text.
It would be best for all concerned that the person who placed these comments especially evaluate her comment of "fat & unathletic" women....what a hurtful thing to say, not to mention that women come in all shapes and sizes and need to be valued for having the abilty to model in a swimsuit no matter what size they are. It's about confidence! Clearly, the ladies chosen had it, but other contestants did as well.
So to whoever wrote this, you need to examine yourself and find out why it is so offensive to you as a woman that the ladies selected were fit and you are still knocking them, why you object to selling tickets for a charity event, and why you participated in the first place having known well in advance that the pageant question was only a portion of the score. Perhaps in fact, it was you who did not answer your question as strongly as you thought. What you perceive and what the judges perceive is often quite different. Contestants often see this following pageants when they view the tape.

By the way....you say we crowned "fat unathletic queens?" Our Ms. is a professional model, size 2. Our miss, a runner and athlete, size 4. Our teen, a fitness model with a national contract, size 2, and our junior teen is a size zero. I don't know who you are, but you clearly have a squewed view of our queens if you believe they are 'fat and unathletic.'

SUBMITTED: Monday, May 13, 2013POSTED: Monday, May 13, 2013
The Miss Wisconsin United States pageant was held in Milwaukee on May 11th, 2013 at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Our judges were sent the contestants' bio forms one week prior to the pageant to have time to read through them and ask appropriate questions.
1.) I, as the owner, am from Minnesota and did not know ANY of the contestants prior to this event.
2.) As a national policy, we never give out scores for the pageant, which is common and also done in the Miss America and Miss USA pageants. You will never get scores from them either. Contestants were also told this in their pre-event paperwork and prior to the event in orientation- so this was no shocker. I do give out judges comments and ranks so people can use them for their next pageant, but actual scores are never given out. This is actually industry standard. Most pageants do not give out scores.
3.) The only girl that "bombed" her question came in dead last in her age category so I'm not sure what she's talking about there. The scores were triple-checked. The JUDGES and the JUDGES alone (5 of them) decided the winner. Two of the judges I have never met prior to this pageant and met the morning of the pageant. I also never know who the winner is until I open the card on stage. Absolutely nothing was pre-determined.
4.) Most state pageants charge $400 or more to enter. All of my contestants paid only $50 which is UNHEARD of for a state pageant of this caliber. That $50 covered the liability insurance fee that was demanded by our venues. For this $50 each contestant also got 2 meals, a FREE opening number dress, and a very nice gift bag (which included rhinestone jewelry). I paid $7,000 out of pocket for this event, so if I'm making some money somewhere....please inform me where it is because I'd sure like a piece of it.
5.) The girls I spoke to after the pageant were all very happy with the event and most of the non-winners said they would return next year. If there was someone unhappy about it, I certainly couldn't tell at the event.
6.) If someone has a valid complaint, I am always willing to hear what they have to say, attempt to remedy the situation, and take that into consideration for my next event to make it better...but an "anonymous" person who is simply spouting off without letting me know their concerns first, in my opinion has no credibility. This is clearly someone who has never competed in a pageant and has no idea what they are talking about.

Illness prompts closure of Vt. schoolMarch 08,2013
BRIDPORT - School has been been canceled for the rest of the week in Bridport after about 80 of the 130 students and staff either called in or went home sick.
The Vermont Health Department is investigating after the illnesses were reported Wednesday at the Bridport Central School. The district canceled school on Thursday and Friday while the building is sanitized.
Symptoms included diarrhea and vomiting and could be caused by the Norovirus, also known as stomach flu, infectious disease epidemiologist Bradley Tompkins told WCAX-TV (http://bit.ly/XRpb6r ) reported.
"This is certainly the environment where Norovirus can easily spread where there are children and a lot of touching of objects," Tompkins said.
Corey Pratt, owner of Pratt's Store, near the the preschool-through-sixth-grade school, said his wife and 11-year-old daughter were sick.
"To have that many in such a short period of time is scary and hopefully they can figure out what the problem is," he said.
The Health Department was testing samples from those who were sick to determine if Norovirus was the cause.

Maven is a widely used project management tool. It is an open source project of the Apache Software Foundation which maintains a comprehensive project page at maven.apache.org Thetus is a company providing advanced analytical capabilities including model enabled analysis capabilities which can run in both cloud and traditional environments. I noticed an interesting connection between Maven and Thetus and wanted to share it with you here.
More on Maven: Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. It can also be used as a simple "build" tool that takes all the key components of a project and converts them into executable code ready for fast/easy/repeatable/runnable code. Although all developers can use Maven for many activities, it is in wide use by developers of modern analytical applications.
More on Thetus: Thetus is a firm staffed with world renowned developers, engineers, computer scientists and mission-focused analysts. They produce several capabilities including model enabled analytical solutions. Their solutions are built to be incredibly interoperable and to run in any existing legacy environment. Their developers use Maven to ensure widespread interoperability and deployability of their code, making Thetus solutions some of the easiest to deploy anywhere.
The connection: Thetus engineers developed a tool designed to simplify plug-ins for Maven. This Thetus Maven Toolbox drastically simplifies authoring certain types of plug-ins. You can learn more about it at : http://blog.thetus.com/2012/01/31/open-source-invite/ and https://bitbucket.org/Thetus/maven-toolbox
Here is more from the Thetus blog:
Who doesn't love free stuff? With software and hardware reaching higher and higher price points, it's especially rewarding to find open source software these days. And fortunately, there's a lot of it out there. We utilize open source technologies to build our software infrastructure quite frequently and we figured it was due time to give back to the community that has provided us with so much.
We went through our code to find parts of it that were not directly related to our product and could be helpful to others. We thought about the most commonly used open source technologies in our office and came up with Tomcat, Apache Commons, Flex and finally, Maven. We decided to make our own open source product to simplify plug-ins for Maven, so here goes our first Thetus-bred open source product.
Maven takes a description of our builds requirements, formulates a build plan, and then executes it. Maven handles most things without intervention, but when you need to, you can write plug-ins to provide fine-grained control.
We noticed a lot of the plug-ins we were writing for Maven had some commonalities and instead of recreating or copying and pasting code, we pulled that pesky repetitious code out and created the Thetus Maven Toolbox. This toolbox gives you easier ways to access Maven's build plan and perform common plug-in tasks. These tools let you build up information about your project as a whole, and get info out of the lovely model that Maven provides.
The Thetus Maven Toolbox drastically simplifies authoring certain types of plug-ins — such as those for launching other java programs — and can make previously convoluted tasks simpler. We hope you find this toolbox as useful as we have, keep a look out for more Thetus-bred open source projects!

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

One of the biggest challenges when developing connected devices is identifying user value and delivering it through successful user experiences. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Mike Kuniavsky, Principal Scientist, Innovation Services at PARC, described an IoT-specific approach to user experience design that combines approaches from interaction design, industrial design and service design to create experiences that go beyond simple connected gadgets to create lasting, multi-device experiences grounded in people's real needs and desires.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Since i was not wlecomed inthe kym summer reading general with my skyrim books i have decided to make my own thread. Aame concept as the other one just with vidya game books. (Most likely skyrim books) feel free to post a good vidya game book. Hope this works!
KYM Summer Vidya Games Reading General

It wasn't that you weren't welcome in the thread, Rimshot. It was more along the lines of your post not being particularly relevant to the discussion. We were talking more along the lines of choosing books to read for a sort of Summer Book Club kind of activity rather than in-game lore kind of stuff.
The person who started that thread started another one for the first book that we're going to read right here with links to where you can download an e-version of it, if you'd like to take part in the book club. I'd certainly like to see as many people as possible take part in it.
But on-topic, quite a few of the books in Oblivion were pretty cool to read through. It definitely gave the world of the game a more life-like aspect to it.
This is both a tangent and relavent at the same time, but would anybody like to do a book club sort've thing, but instead of books or books about vidya, we just play vidya?
I know it'd be a bit difficult, because it's not like everyone has every console known to man so the game choices would be limited to multiplats or emulated games, but I think it could be fun nonetheless. If you're interested, shoot me a PM because I'd be more than willing to orchestrate it if I had enough people.
Back on the subject at hand, I've never really read too many books written about games, with some exceptions. I read a book about Doomguy when I was a wee lad, and I read a Resident Evil book or two, as well. Other than those, I really haven't ever had much interest, seeing as I play games for their own inherent storylines, but I could totally see where their appeal lies. If they made Silent Hill novels I'd read the heck out've them, after all.
(…wait, they actually have those?)

Debian Votes Against Mandating Non-systemd Compatibility
Re:No trust (535 comments)
First off let's be fair here. Lennart has limited contact with Debian. The people switching Debian over to systemd are the package maintainers and Debian project leadership. That happened because Unity failed which had been the direction Debian was heading in. Blaming Lennart is quite unfair. Debian adopted systemd because lots of people in the Debian community thought systemd was better, mainly because upstream developers like systemd. Until you accept that you are going to continue with conspiracy theories.
As far as real world projects and systemd systemd is already being used in large PaaS deployment how much more real world can you get than that?

Auditor general questions wages
Corporate salaries called 'high' in report
Manitoba's auditor general wants the province to "assess the reasonability" of salaries paid to top officials at the corporation that oversees The Forks Market and operates the parkade at Portage Place.
In a report this week, Carol Bellringer called the pay received by North Portage Development Corp. CEO Jim August "high" compared with salaries earned by provincial deputy ministers and senior executives of Crown corporations.
In 2011, August was paid $228,937, according to information provided by the NPDC on Thursday. The figure includes a contribution to an RSP, a car allowance and any bonuses that may have been paid.
Bellringer reviewed North Portage's books at the request of a member of the public. She is not obliged to investigate citizen concerns, but does so occasionally.
The North Portage Development Corp. is owned equally by the city, the province and the federal government. Each level of government appoints members to the organization's board, which sets the CEO's salary. August, in turn, is responsible for setting the salaries of those who work for him.
A provincial government deputy minister can earn anywhere from $105,951 to $162,331.
In 2011, Bob Brennan, then-president and CEO of Manitoba Hydro, the province's largest Crown corporation, earned $229,000, a Hydro spokesman said Thursday.
Rick Bel, chairman of North Portage's board of directors, said the corporation recently reviewed its upper management salaries with the help of a consultant and found its executive compensation packages were in line with what was paid by similar organizations. "The board is happy with what those salaries are," he said Thursday.
In her report, Bellringer said the province told her it has no authority to regulate remuneration paid by the NPDC. That authority rests with North Portage board, it said.
In an interview, Bellringer said that may be technically true, but it shouldn't stop the province from playing a role. "We still stand behind the recommendation," she said.
The North Portage Development Corp. and its subsidiary companies own and operate The Forks Market and the Portage Place IMAX Theatre, which is slated to close at the end of March. It operates the parking lot in Portage Place mall as well as several others in the downtown area. It also collects lease revenue from the Johnston Terminal at The Forks, the Inn at the Forks, Portage Place and Citytv. In 2012, it had revenues of $11 million and expenses totalling $9.4 million.
In its most recent fiscal year, Manitoba Hydro earned a profit of $61 million on revenues totalling $1.9 billion. In 2011, Hydro also paid two senior vice presidents $177,000 each, while another half dozen senior officials earned salaries in the $151,000 to $160,000 range.
In 2011, Paul Jordan, North Portage chief operating officer, earned $140,462, while Paul Webster, the NPDC's chief financial officer, made $150,890. The corporation does not have a pension plan.
Meanwhile, Bellringer also recommended the North Portage Development Corp. amend its bylaws to limit the number of terms a board member may serve. Directors appointed by the three levels of government are named for a three-year term, but there is no limit on how many terms they can serve. The longest-serving members have been on the board for 11 years.
The auditor general also recommended the province, in consultation with other levels of government, encourage the corporation to release more detailed financial statements to the public. Currently, it discloses consolidated financial statements for the corporation as a whole, but doesn't provide a detailed breakdown for different segments of the business.

Oh! Spud, thanks so much, I had not seen this! It certainly puts a different slant on things. Amazingly enough I grew up in the Fingerlakes area of NY and know of the Experimental Station in Geneva. I definitely won't be tackling a 40-fruit tree, but am determined to at least try something.
Spud, I'm like you in that I've read all Daniel's postings on grafting and have gone to a few sites with more information about the topic. I have a very small space and only grow flowers at the present time. I do have room for one more tree - and when I saw the 40-fruit tree I thought it would be great to have the fruit of several trees in one tree. Now to research the best ones for South Texas, and get it planted.
Thank you Daniel for making it seem possible.
Barbara, I didn't know so many fruits could be grafted on the same tree.
Daniel, I've not been paying much attention to your grafting because I don't have room to grow many trees. Perhaps I'll try some on my apricot tree that I plan on planting next spring (after I make sure it's healthy).
What a beautiful garden Patricia. Lots of good things to eat. Makes me jealous again : )
I like your ideas of things to do with sweet peppers.
Patricia, what are you going to do with all those peppers? Wow! Joan, my sweet corn is coming on. I've eaten several ears, and with my planting two rows at a time over several weeks, I should be eating corn for 5-6 weeks!
Barbara, a beautiful photo; I like the artist aspect of the project and his ideas to do more.
Daniel, I hope to see photos of your grafting projects as they develop!
Daniel, this has to be grafting at its max.

So I got a Collectors Edition with Guest Passes...
I bought a copy of STO Collectors Edition and I saw it came with 3 guest passes and I was trying to figure out if I could give them to a friend to get them 10 days Gold Membership. I see no place to enter them and they are too long for the My Code section in the My Account section. They do not have any expiration date on them, so they are still good :D Anyone have any ideas how to redeem them?
On the STO Homepage, along the Top, there is a 'My Account' link. This leads to page that has a ('gasp') 'Redeem Key' link...
I swear to god, people need to get temp bans for not reading, as stated above in my not rant length post that the code is too long for the 'Redeem Key' *gasp*
I bought a Collectors Edition a couple of months ago.
If I remember right, when you enter the code, it should have give you a popup that mentions its an old Cryptic code and redirect (or offer to redirect) the the old Cryptic code page.
Try at www.startrekonline.com/activate as long as they have a pwe/sto account and these should work.
sweet, it worked!

OSU has its own 'Hitman'
By ROB TODOR
PHOENIX "Animal Junior" is out. So are about a half-dozen other names. Ohio State sophomore linebacker James Laurinaitis isn't overly concerned, though, with a potential professional wrestling career.
The defensive stalwart from Hamel, Minn., and the son of one-half of the infamous Legion of Doom has a few more pressing matters at hand, first and foremost being Monday night's BCS championship game against Florida.
The son of Joe "The Animal" Laurinaitis, who made his first start in last January's Fiesta Bowl, a 34-20 win over Notre Dame, took over at middle linebacker this season and is arguably the most decorated player of a defensive unit that ranked among the nation's best in several categories.
Laurinaitis leads the Buckeyes with 100 tackles, including 43 solos, and is tops with five interceptions. He finished with 8.5 tackles for losses, including four sacks. His signature game was probably the September showdown at Texas when he forced two fumbles, including one at the Buckeyes' 1 yard line, and had an interception.
"It's crazy how much difference a year makes," Laurinaitis said. "Last year I'm still a fresh 19-year old and running around out there with a bunch of guys who are in the NFL now."
Won Nagurski award
Now it's Laurinaitis who will be getting noticed by the NFL scouts. Replacing A.J. Hawk in the middle of the Buckeyes defense, he won the Bronko Nagurski Award as the nation's best defensive player. He was also a finalist for the Butkus and Bednarik awards. Laurinaitis was named first team All-Big Ten and first team All-American by The Associated Press, the Football Writers Association of America and The Sporting News. He was also named to the Walter Camp All-America team.
"I learned a lot [from Hawk] about how to study the game and [having] a work ethic," said Laurinaitis. "Coming out of high school you think you know everything about everything, and you come here and you see A.J. go work out after a two-a-day practice. You learn that you have to keep working."
Laurinaitis had a pretty good work ethic before he arrived at Ohio State, thanks in part to his dad, but mostly, he says, because of his mom, Julie.
"She played a lot of catch with me when I was younger and my dad was gone a lot. She cooked all the meals we never, ever went out to eat and always made sure I was eating the right stuff. I think I was the only kid in high school who still hadn't had Fruity Pebbles and some of those cereals. I was still eating Wheaties and Special K."
In fact, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was asked if he'd ever been threatened by The Animal.
"No, he's a pretty quiet guy," quipped Tressel. "I would listen more to his mom anyway."
Colorful childhood
Laurinaitis had a pretty colorful childhood. He said his dad would be visited by his friends in wrestling, like Bret "Hitman" Hart and Hulk Hogan.
"We used to dress up and act out our favorite wrestlers, worrying my mom to death that one of us would get hurt," he said. "Whenever I wasn't my dad, I loved Goldberg. I think he resembled most likely a football player, and The Rock. I liked The Rock, and Shawn Michaels. I don't know what it was about Shawn Michaels, but he had a little swagger about him."
Laurinaitis was also an accomplished hockey player. He played through his senior year of high school, but said he prefers football.
"Football is a cleaner game," he said. "You get more vicious hits in a clean way. In hockey they'll tell you 'Go take that guy out.' I don't want to go out and ruin some other guy's career, his dream, with a dirty hit. That's not something I want to be a part of."
He's also sure he doesn't want to try any of his dad's ring moves on the football field.
"I don't know if I could use a drop kick or clothesline," he laughed. "I probably have to save that for The Longest Yard or one of those movies."
Still, there have been times he's considered a ring career after his football days end, but he's not come up with a suitable name or storyline.
"We always joke around that my first match would be me getting beat up in the ring," said Laurinaitis, "and then my dad would make this huge, heroic comeback, 60-years old, and come down and save me."
And, no doubt, with mom close behind.

You probably already know what you are going to be having in front of you for your choices, right?
Here's my hypothetical Thanksgiving meal.
Potatoes? Check. (Don't overdo it.)
Something green? Check. (If there won't be, offer to bring it: green beans or salad or brussels sprouts.)
Cranberries? (I love tart cranberries, but if you don't, even the sugary ones are usually grain-free.)
Make your own gravy with the drippings and a paleo starchy powder if you must.
Most of the meals at our house consists of 2-3 main items, so 5 seems indulgent. Ha.
Skip the stuffing/dressing. Or make a paleo version, perhaps?
Skip the rolls.
Skip the marshmallows.
Skip the mystery dishes.
Skip the corn. (Sometimes I don't.)
Save room for dessert!
I've had enough pumpkin by this time of year that I would actually take the time to make something apple-y… served with real ice cream or whipped cream on top.
In case you think my list is too boring, here's a menu to make your mouth water. Just goes to show that eating in a way that is good for you can hardly be called deprivation… quite the opposite. (Just don't go cross-eyed looking at my blurry photo.)
|credit to coach Dan for this one
Now, I'm not cooking this year. My parents will be making their ah-mazing homemade stuffing. Yes, my family actually stuffs the turkey. It is hard to pass up and is truly only made once a year. So, I may have some. And suffer the puffy-ness. We shall see. I just can't eat it 5 days in a row :)
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Watch King Midas Sound's New Video for "Lost"
From King Midas Sound's Waiting For You album, "Lost" was given the full music video treatment by filmmaker and band photographer Niall O'Brien. Read more »
When we stop to think about it, there's not a whole lot separating the kids of the chillwave scene from those in beat music's many disparate hubs. Both genres are made up primarily of youngsters creating music inspired by electronic manipulations and the not-so-distant past, and, whether decidedly melodic or not, offer a great deal to the world's private and public dancefloors. Keeping that in mind, this new project from LA's Matthewdavid and Atlanta's Dog Bite, Veux, is less of a surprise. This first taste from the collaboration, "Late Key" (that's the cover for it up there), is a poignant number that matches loads of twinkling pop-friendly melodies, distant-but-hard-hitting dance beats, massive bass drops, and even a large amount of guitar and vocal work to great effect. We're not going to try to coin a new genre title for Veux's marriage of recent production styles. We'll just call it good.

Barcelona bliss-ravers Delorean are wrapping up another trek through North America this week—don't worry, they'll be back again in July—and we've been busy watching their every move.

The first thing that gets your attention at MUTEK, even before you experience the music, is its clockwork efficiency. Drivers, merchandisers, sound and lighting technicians, curators, paid staff and volunteers are all wonderfully in sync. And all incredibly nice. Read more »
From his string of self-released instrumental beat tapes, New York hip-hop producer El-P let loose this jam as a heads up for the forthcoming release of his third contribution to the series, Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3, set to appear on August 3 via Gold Dust. "East River Float" comes from Volume Two, and actually features a quick vocal guest spot from P's hypeman, The Mighty Quin, before getting straight down to business with funky basslines, piano and horn samples, along with an old-school, nod-worthy beat. Snag more tunes from El-P's Weareall series here and here.
Glasgow bass/beat experimentalist Automaton UK just signed on his latest tune, "British Steel," for release via the Hum + Haw label early this July. Read more »
Until recently, the name MJ Cole was more or less synonymous with late-'90s/early-'00s UK garage and 2-step, as the man born Matthew Coleman was one of the scene's progenitors and biggest names. Yet as the bubbling beats and shuffling rhythms fell by the wayside and were eventually swallowed by dubstep's wobbling swagger, it seemed as though MJ Cole might end up simply another footnote in the annals of electronic music history. Read more »
Seeing as how Vancouver's latest source of reverb-saturated dance tunes, Teen Daze, isn't keen on sharing much info outside of his moniker and geographic location, it's probably pointless to even rhetorically ask what exactly the song title "Shine On, You Crazy White Cap" means. But from what we can gather of the vocals that bubble up high enough over the track's thick blanket of synth melodies to become somewhat decipherable, the song has something to do with driving to the coastline, maybe the sunrise, and something about shining. Thankfully, the lyrics aren't so much integral to enjoying the music, which is overwhelming in its expansive sound and entrancing in its simple rhythms. Teen Daze's debut full-length, Four More Years, will be released July 23.
Long-time Detroit hip-hop producer Apollo Brown (pictured above) shared the latest single from his recently released sophomore album, The Reset. The record features loads of collaborations with a lengthy list of talented MCs, and here we have "Hungry" with wordsmiths Black Milk and Little Brother's Rapper Big Pooh taking the mic. Through Brown's bright and soulful beat work, the dual vocal attack assails the topic of—what else?—being awesome. Between each verse littered with organ stabs and snare cracks, Black Milk repeats ad infinitum, "I can't sleep, I'm on the grind, I'm hungry"—reminding us exactly what it takes to break through the ever-growing rap scene: ambition and persistence.
Germany's premiere veteran techno label Kompakt recently introduced the world to a forthcoming series focusing on extremely limited-edition CD and 12" releases available exclusively online, called Kompakt.fm Exklusive. Read more »

Star Trek Online diet? Producer Dan Stahl tackles the feasibility of both of those features -- and a host of others -- in the latest Ask Cryptic. The STO version of the community Q&A feature went live last night on the game's official website and boasts a large number of subscriber-generated queries ranging from integrated voice chat to a time table on the ground combat revamp to the addition of starbase functionality to the Foundry.
"We anticipate the next major feature to the Foundry being the ability for fleets to design and run their own starbases. This is a monumental addition to the Foundry, so don't expect it right away, but it is the next big thing for that feature," Stahl says.
Check out the full list of questions on the official STO website.
