You know what's fun? Cryptic analogies. As such:
My neighbors won't stop playing loud music, like seriously really loud music when I'm trying to focus on other things, just live my life or even when I'm sleeping. This has gotten to the point they need to get evicted. But that isn't happening. Landlord is turning the blind eye for some reason and the whole nauseating earful continues.
My only option is to leave and just go somewhere else. But I say to hell with that, I'm staying. If I leave, they win. So I'll put up with the nonstop loud ass music, trash as it may be. In fact I might just "answer back" with a little music of my own. Until next time, this is me not going anywhere.
Enjoy the metal.
As some of you might know, I stream every Friday on the dtoid community channel Streamtoid roundabout 2pm eastern. Right now I am early into my playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas, the well documented almost my favorite game ever... it is believed. And as promised to the viewers of the twitch channel, I have finally got around to installing some radio mods for the game to really expand on the relatively meager base soundtrack. Not to mention the curiosity of what radio stations are out there -- everything went well in case you're wondering except I am not sure if the GNR -> New Vegas mod installed correctly and for some reason Radio New Vegas breaks some times (oh well).
In the search to get new radio stations I realized that some of the modders that made custom stations with new music for the game used their own voice over for the "hosts" to give it a more authentic feel. Well let me tell you that that is just swell. So swell in fact, that I am now interested in making my own radio station mod, using my own voice work.
Here are a few ideas I came up for segments or other things that could go into this sort of project:
[ ] - This is a great opp. for essentially Fallout fanfic. I can definitely make up some sort of backstory -- ideas include: a new group of outcasts that commandeered a radio station and are using it to update the people of the Mojave wastes on their struggle
[ ] - OR alternatively this series is full of so much backstory that the options are mind boggling. Maybe I could create a host that was involved in the takeover of Hoover Dam by the NCR? Perhaps a follower of the Megaton Church? Or maybe a radio station based more around one of the DLC packs... which brings me to another idea that I got from one of my installed mods.
[ ] - New Vegas has a ton of DLC content, some of which got their own radio stations but others didn't. And even for the ones that did, touching on the DLC stories/locations/characters is a great idea.
[ ] - One idea I came up jokingly is to do a segment where I fake a fireside chat type political talk show radio but with the thematics from the game, only it is done entirely in my native language! My people love talk show radio and arguing and for some reason I have fond memories listening to these things when I was younger, which gives me a lot of cool minor details that I can include into it. Honestly this would be half joking but I'd like to go full ham on this sub-bullet.
[ ] - And of course, MUSIC! There is a ton of free music available online and especially that old Public domain stuff. Not to mention there isn't anything wrong with using some songs from other stations. But again, there should be a lot out there as is.
I'll try to come back to blog post as it is more of a scrap of ideas and add anything as I go along. As I'm pretty busy anyway this isn't going to be a heavily invested project just something fun to do that gets my creative organs off. Tell me what you think of this. Include a suggestion if you have any. Or just say what's up with you and what your favorite Fallout radio station is!
AH, that was a fun week back on dtoid. I had a free week to just go nuts, in this time I dicked around in the forums, recorded and released a new episode of PStoid and even got around to reading a couple of blogs!
Well all good things must come to an end right? WRONG! I'm still going to vanish like a positive world outlook at a Hardy's during buy 1 get 1 free day. But I'm doing a giveaway because why not. That's right, you could win a shiny thing for yourself to cuddle and enjoy. Here's how:
It's no secret that I love indie games. And that I love music, so naturally, Indie game Soundtrack's are like catnip for me, provided that I'm a four legged whisker-having house cat. So leave a comment with your FAVORITE Indie Game OST and why it's better than all others and you will have an entry into the raffle. Feel free to include videos, images or other links.
Here is an example - My favorite Indie Game OST is from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Which honestly isn't fair because the soundtrack is composed by one of my favorite chiptunes acts, Anamanaguchi.
It represents well the different emotions the story and characters, based on the comic of the same name, go through in addition to just being fucking awesome and a great listen all year round. You have songs like "Another Winter" that makes me wish it was Winter already (and I HATE winter) and "Party Stronger" which makes me wish I was at a rave (don't like those either). And a ton of other great tracks that defy category.
Above all else, I love the soundtrack because it reminds me of the game, and I love the game in part because of the awesome soundtrack. It's like the perfect duo of good music and good game. This was also probably one of the first indie games I played as well as being one of the first games that I went out and purchased the soundtrack.
Though to be fair, my favorite changes a lot, because there are really a lot of great Indie Game OSTs that are seriously a challenge to rank amongst them all. Some strong runners up, and legit picks that may as well have been #1, include: Terraria, for it's euphoric ambience, Hotline Miami for insanity electronica and Lone Survivor because it's the best blend of psychological Horror in a soundtrack I've ever heard.
Winner gets gifted a Steam game by me. I will PM him/or her with the instructions, GOOD LUCK!
So for weeks I've had a few blog ideas in my head and really wanted to get them typed up. Sadly I'm just still too busy to regularly post, as some of you already know. In this post, I've merged the two blog ideas into one single post. There isn't enough in either to merit a full blog post anyway. Also this is my first go at the new editing system, hope it goes well :)
Minecraft is In Need of Fish Eye
Minecraft has finally pick axed and dug its way into my life and it's gotten a firm grasp around me. Really it's gotten problematic but I love this game and love killing time in it. Even though there isn't a whole lot of "game" in it, imo where you basically have to make the game for yourself.
But this isn't about talking about Minecraft, I want to talk about some features in this game. Well into this games crust, a friend invited me to for some online cooperative play. Needless to say, he was much further than I was, knew way more tricks and had a ton more valuable stuff than I did. And this friend of mine introduced me to two features in this game: you can turn off the hand and the HUD so that all your view isn't obstructed. All this time I had been taking screenshots all wrong!
But yeah, I was screwing with this feature and trying to get some gnarly shots in the game world, but what dawned on me is that the default view is kind of weak. And it could be fixed by giving the option for a "fish eye" view. For those who do not know, the following is a camera with a fish eye lens.
And this is the difference that such a nifty attachment makes:
In short, it makes you see considerably more in the image than a standard lens does. And this also happens to make the picture look that much more amazing, though everything in it has this rather queasy curve look about it. Not a photographer myself, I still know that this equipment is expensive, IRL however for a video game we're only talking a matter of coding. You see it seems that Minecraft uses the default type of view. So how awesome would it be if we could get the option to see in a fish eye, and take even better pictures. Well very awesome actually!
Anyway, below are some examples of pictures I've taken in Minecraft and what they would look like with a fish eye -- sort of, I'm not an image editing whiz.
Of course, with recent news, I'm sure this won't even be a possibility. But then again it isn't that important, I didn't decide to write about this blog because Minecraft is in the news right now. Rather this was just an itch to get some thoughts jotted down.
How Fallout 4 Can Take the series' Immersion to the Next Level
I'm a big fan of Fallout, there isn't a doubt about that. Without going into too much history, I hated 3 from the moment I put it into my PS3, flung out the disk immediately and didn't play it till urged to give it another go out of curiosity, at which point I melted for that game. Then New Vegas was a no brainer for me -- side note: damnit I wish I got the collector's edition. And one of the big aspects of the game, new to me at the time, was the music.
I'm a mighty man!
Ah yes, that was not what I excepted to be introduced to, staring at that gritty artwork on the box. And I'm thankful that they've decided to go with this route for Fallout. It really did expand my horizons and make me way more open minded, as I'll tell you all about in a second. For a little background, the Fallout games take place in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world where instead of the Cold War being uneventful in the nuclear warfare department, the world is torn to hell with explosive radiation. Since the 1950's in this world, culture never really moved forward, which is why even though Global Nuclear War happens in 2077, the game is bleeding with 1950's American War era cultural references, music, attire, slang and other phenomenon. It's complicated, but you can read up on the backstory here.
So we get this game, that is essentially an RPG -- originals were from a top-down perspective and the new ones switched up the formula for FPS -- that is brutally violent and depressing (the formula for grit), with the music of our grandparents playing all the while. And this is why the soundtrack stood out to me as significant, it created a contrast between these two opposites. This was uncanny and an effect to die for.
Several sentences back I mentioned becoming more open minded. Well yeah, because I now have Nat King Cole in my music library, introduced to me by Fallout, I see that era of time as a cultural gold mine instead of just being something we're forced to learn in class boo. I now have a greater interest for that culture and that has led me to discover and become addicted to television from that time. Thankfully there is a channel for this purpose, called Antenna TV. It has the classics of television. Sitcoms, dramas, movies, etc. It's really great and I've been taking my time going through different shows one by one. Something that would've never happened otherwise.
Looks like some of the Vault-Tec billboards in Fallout, doesn't it? This is the Patty Duke Show
So I say, the next level of immersion is this: We already have 50's music in Fallout, how about 50's television? I hope Bethesda is reading this. It would be sick if they got the rights to some really old TV shows -- or made up their own like with what they did with Dean Martin -- to be made viewable and have appearances in the next installment of this franchise. To me, this would increase the immersion that devs and our journalists make so sought after.
Now I brainstormed this a little and the main counterpoint I could come up with is that there is no television in the Fallout world. Makes sense, how could there be space for TV in a post-apocalyptic fiction? However, that is simply not true and easily proven against. For starters, there are plenty of television sets throughout the franchise. There is also electricity, for example some local areas have power generators for personal use and some bigger colonies just have power for some reason, such as the Las Vegas strip. And of course, there are all the computer monitors that are practically all functional -- even the corrupt ones -- such as the terminals or the faces of the securitrons. However, the thing that irks me is I cannot think of a single television set working in the game. The only thing that comes to mind is the opening sequence of the original Fallout but nothing more recent than that.
And I will close out here: Picture this; you, the player, have just returned from a quest where you took out a gang of raiders. They tore your health bar in two. Your clothes are stained with gunpowder and blood. You take a seat at the bar and the commercial on the nearby television set catches your attention.
(skip to 0:50)
Then your vision gets all hazy because you've been taking down med-xs and psychos like a clown takes down ribbons

When Heroine director Madhur Bhandarkar was shooting with Kareena Kapoor at a park near Hotel Taj Lands End, Mumbai on Monday evening, a huge crowd gathered to get a glimpse of the actress and the shooting.
According to a source, people began swarming in thousands and at one time, they got very close to Kareena Kapoor. Fortunately, the situation was soon brought to normal and everybody resumed work once again.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who was earlier supposed to do the lead role in Heroine was asked to leave since she became pregnant. Arjun Rampal plays the male lead in Heroine.

Lord, as you know
We've been trying of late
To stick to our diets
To lose some weight
On this day of Thanksgiving
Please turn a blind eye
As we inhale stuffing
And two slices of pie
We promise if you
Will look the other way
We'll resume our diets
On Black Friday!
Aah . . . men!
For those of you in the States, may your Thanksgiving be full of grace.
Eat, drink, and be merry . . . for tomorrow we die-t!
Gobble. Gobble.

A Real Straight Shooter November 23, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Humor, Nature, People.

My grandfather was a straight shooter (unless his sights needed adjusting). And he always learned from past mistakes (unless he didn't).
* 11/24/57 ~ "Deer Hunting is over ~ so this is a report on the season:
On Nov. 17, I discovered the rear sight was loose ~ I should have felt of it before but I just thought I was off on my shooting ~ it could have thrown the bullet off several feet. This explained why the first two buck did not run. It wasn't even close enough to scare them. I went to Spencer's and got the sights adjusted. Since then I have seen several deer but no buck. Now the season is over. I might say in passing, I hope someone kicks me if I ever start out hunting again without trying out the gun. I have said this before.
It was nice being in the great open places and looking at what was over the next ridge. I enjoyed it. I didn't cough at all, all the season. Couldn't. It might scare the game. I got 7 parcels mailed out to service men overseas. Well I must stop. Sorry to have been so slow in writing. Deer business!"
During hunting season, deer became priority #1:
* 10/24/57 ~ "In case you are tied up next week end, we might be able to try it the next after that altho deer hunting starts Nov. 9, on Saturday. Probably I would hate to leave that."
* 11/6/58 ~ "I just tried out my rifle and found it shoots all right this year. The sights are tight. I plan to go on my hill Saturday early. I will defer coming down [to see you] till after I get a deer!"
* 11/28/59 ~ "Leon and I went up on my hill. There was snow and we were able to chase 5 deer around. I saw them twice but was unable to see horns. In all I have seen 21 deer this season but nothing to shoot at."
Of course, as soon as deer season ended:
* 12/15/59 ~ "Last week Friday as I came home, I hit a deer. I have seen the insurance company in Montpelier and have their OK on getting it fixed. It will cost $348. I believe I have to pay $50 of it.
However, I won't kick too bad. It gives me a new radiator, grill, hood, right fender, horn, etc. "
Years later, he continued to chase deer around, sense of humor intact:
* 11/24/66 ~ "About Deer! It's still running. The nearest I have come was Tuesday. I went up to the site of the Densmore School and saw something that looked like a deer. It was quite a distance away. I convinced myself it was a sumac stub. Just then a white tail flopped up and disappeared. Oh Dear!"
Aah . . . that's better!

A few years ago, at the Suncoast Lifestyle Expo, we met Dr. Z who invited us to his office for a FREE consultation, chiropractic exam, and massage.
We accepted the invitation, went to his office, listened to his dog and pony show, and agreed to return in two days with the completed new patient paperwork for our FREE adjustment.
After considerable debate and two days sitting on the fence, we completed the paperwork and returned for the rest of the FREE consultation.
We spoke with Dr. Z and the woman responsible for billing about the cost of future adjustments and treatments and decided not to schedule further visits.
At check out, we paid for a reusable ice pack.
Two months later, out of the blue, we received a $257 bill for BFF's FREE consultation and exam.
I called the office and Maria agreed that there had been a mix up. She promised to clear BFF's account. I had her check my account too . . . sure enough, a bill was on its way.
A few days later, I called Maria back to make sure that the accounts had been cleared. She said, "we're "working on it."
In due course, the accounts were cleared.
It's good to trust others, but handshake agreements can be problematic. Memories fade. Mistakes are made.
Next time . . . I'll get in IN WRITING!
Aah . . . that's better!
Flying Squirrels & Other Silly Bits October 26, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Fun & Games, Humor, People.

Beyond politics, gardening, and newsy tidbits, my grandfather's letters are sprinkled with flying squirrels, dueling mosquitoes, and other silly bits:
2/24 ~ Hartland: busy week, including a trip to Middlebury for the Mid Winter Legion meeting, banquet, and dance. "After the orchestra left for home a group of 25 or so got around a piano and sang old songs. I got away with it in the crowd."
6/13 ~ Montpelier: "Last evening as I prepared for bed I discovered I had a noise in the closet. (It wasn't a skeleton). I suspected the half-witted woman from the third floor at first as she some times wanders in on people. I got a flash light. Inspection showed a flying squirrel sitting on the pillow stored on end of the closet. I got the dust mop and tapped him over the left ear. I then laid him out on the porch roof till I could embalm him. This morning I completed the rites."
9/12 ~ Family politics. "Margaret is getting so she TV's till 11 o'clock. And after all she said against it! Wow!" [First documented example of transforming a noun ("TV") into a verb.]
2/17 ~ Deland, FL. For his birthday, he decided to visit with an old girl friend, Thelma Lovell. "Last Saturday I dressed with unusual care and prevailed on Margaret that we should look Thelma up. Margaret was a bit sour but she went. Now it is the party at Merrills. The mad social whirl!"
11/28 ~ Hartland: "With respect to the Church Drive, I am drifting along and letting the sand sift and settle as it may. We have churches which through discord and disagreement are being allowed to rot while a frantic minority campaigns to build more, which as far as I know may also rot."
2/5 ~ Montpelier: "I have been giving some thought to a gift for Feb. 14. I feel that you might like another tool for the shop or cigars if you still use them. Since you can buy something you would like, please do. Oh, Richard, part of the gift you buy is from Margaret. Like if you get a hammer, the handle is from Margaret."
8/26 ~ Hartland: "I had an exhibit at the Hartland Fair. Do you remember the "Swimming Hole" black and white over the desk? Emerline Webster wanted Arts & Crafts exhibits and I entered that. It got a 3rd prize. I always thought I had a high degree of artistic taste!"
9/2 ~ "I have been watching Echo I [passive communications satellite] each night. Last evening it was visible at 7.59 and 10.04. I was able to find it both trips around. Margaret went up back of the mill with me the last time. It is just the time she wants to prowl anyway. It is a nice morning. The sun was up at seven, or before, when we first looked upon it. The brook was peaceful and full to overflowing of the dam. Only a wandering mosquito broke the slumber with its insistent buzzing. I traced it to a window, open a mere bit, and battled with it. I think I slew it. Our Day had started. Margaret is cooking something by the sound from the kitchen. I dare not enter."
2/25 ~ Hartland: "My day yesterday had it filled with snow flakes. That stuff most necessary for skis. It fell all day. This morning it is sunny. On the sordid side, I spent much of yesterday with a wooden shovel in my hand. There is plenty of snow for all. It is two feet above the window ledge at my desk. There is more to put . . . I don't just know where. I had to start by clearing the porch roof. It had to be moved again to clear the path down to the shed door, gas bottles, and garage. Soon the entrenchment was too high to shoot out of breast high. The only entrance is the kitchen door."
"We watched the space shot from the arm chair. It was on all day. We served coffee and something at noon, our eyes glazed but still glued to Cocoa Beach. Believe me, the arm chair is an exciting place these days. Alice in Wonderland had Margaret on the edge of her seat. I just spent an hour with the wooden hand tool. The pinnacle hangs higher in the sky. If the clouds hung low, I could see, dim, through the break in the mist, the snow tipped range, the stunted growth, the Mountain of the Moon, the Himalaya in the yard. I read the Geographic. And no fooling I like it. Marjorie read some of this over my shoulder. Said she, "They will think you are a goof." In closing, I am alive. I have been seen returning to the coal bin after dark each night with a shovel."
3/12 ~ Hartland: "We had a mild February and early March but on the ninth 12 or 14 inches came down. When I walked to the State House, the sidewalks were bare, the evening balmy. I dashed down at seven in low shoes and no rubbers. My head was bent in deep and concentrated thought. I should have looked skyward but too busy ~ I went home in 3 inches of snow."
Aah . . . that's better!
Caramel Apples At The Fair October 20, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Fiction, Fun & Games, People, Poetry.

My niece Emily, now 21, loved horses growing up ~ real ones with toothy grins and wooden carousel horses racing in perpetuity on Merry-Go-Rounds.
In August, I shared a 25-word story about Emily urging a carousel horse to go faster, Falling On Deaf Ears.
That reminded me of this horse tale from years ago.
* * *
Emily and her horse Trixie are ready for fun
School's out for three months. Summer's begun!
They'll go to horse shows and compete for first place
They'll ride round the farm and win a horse race
They'll see the excitement at the State Fair
And make new memories while they are there
* * * * *
The day of the Fair dawned bright and clear
Emily headed to the barn, overflowing with cheer
She saddled up Trixie with her usual care
All the while chatting about what they'd see at the Fair
They headed for the trail and cantered up and down
Until they spied the Ferris Wheel towering o'er the ground
"Oh, look, there it is! We'll have such fun, me and you."
Trixie neighed as if to say, "I'm excited too!"
On the midway, they smiled as they took in the sights
Clowns, rides, barkers, and colorful flashing lights
When Emily got hungry, she knew just what to do
She stopped for a caramel apple and ended up with two
"Trixie loves apples . . . and sugar cubes, of course ~
a caramel apple is perfect Fair food for a horse!"
Emily held out the caramel apple and Trixie bit in
After swallowing the treat, she shared a toothy grin
That night, with Trixie in the barn, Emily curled up in bed
Smiling at the images twirling and dancing in her head
She and Trixie had made memories they would always share
Of the day they ate caramel apples while visiting the Fair
Aah . . . that's better!
Wry Observations on Dry Politics October 19, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Fun & Games, Humor, Life Balance, People.

After my grandfather retired, he ran for the State Legislature in Vermont and served a few terms as Town Representative for Hartland. While serving, he peppered letters to my dad with wry observations on otherwise dry politics.
8/5 ~ Hartland: "The date is closed for filing for Town Rep. No one else filed as far as I know. I ought to be able to win I guess. To lose, I would have to fall on my face or die."
9/13 ~ Results of primary on 9/11. "The total vote was 155. Senator Aiken received 145. Representative Prouty received 144. Walter Hatch received 140. I had expected to win but had expected there might be more who would not vote for me."
11/7 ~ Results of election. "Hartland had a big turn-out to vote. Some 75% of the clerk's list. The total vote cast was 595. I got 452 out of a possible 500. That needs explaining. Max Rogers only had 500 Representative ballots printed. The last 95 could not vote on Town Representative. So politics is over for a bit."
1/1 ~ New Year's Greetings with exuberant good wishes and details of his new suit for Montpelier. "I have bought a new suit in reddish brown gray. It is said to look well with gray hair, a little thin, you know, on top."
1/12 ~ Montpelier: "I am now officially a member of the Honorable General Assembly." Details of 1st week. "As ever, your "Honorable Dad."
6/13 ~ Montpelier: "We are nearly through with our work in the House except for such bills as come from the Senate. They are behind us with their work again this year."
9/2 ~ "Politics are getting hotter. I still have no contest, but the Senate race and Lt. Governor are interesting."
9/10 ~ Hartland: "Dear Richard & Barb, etc. The "etc." is also important. I have been watching the TV for two or three evenings. Last night was the VT and NH Primaries. Of course, I had to sit up for that. The vote was light I would say. Too bad people don't take more interest. I think they would sit up and think some if they lost the right. It was quiet here in Hartland. No contests. Out of a total of 214 ballots, I got 203. Of course, these are Primaries. As you know, the real election is in November."
11/6 ~ Hartland: "I will write to give you the results of the election. With a total vote cast of 384, I had 352. Stafford (Rep.) for governor got 260 while the Democrat candidate polled 111. Since no one was running against me, I got quite a few votes from Democrat voters. State wide, we have a democrat for the lone Representative to Congress for the first time since before the Civil War."
1/16 ~ Hartland: "We are off to a flying start in Legislation activity. Robert Stafford is our Governor. I worked for his election so was satisfied. On Thursday, the retiring Governor gave his farewell address before a formal Joint Assembly with the Supreme Court in attendance in robes, etc. After lunch, we met again in like manner to hear Gov. Stafford's address. Committee assignments were read Thursday. I am on the State and Courts Expense Committee. I do not know all the types of bills we have to process. The Chairman is a man named Lawrence. I liked his reports in the last session but did not get to know him then. Today I read over a part of the Attorney General's Report. It is a 200 page book giving opinions of the past 2 years and cases he tried, etc. I figured I better know something of his thoughts because we will have to work with him in our committee quite a lot."
5/24 ~ "Legislature is in its last days but may last a week or possibly two. It is a split session and I expect to work some in October or November getting some bills ready for Jan. 12 1960 when the final part of this session will meet and eventually close."
9/6 ~ Hartland: "I have to be in Montpelier the 21st for as long as committee meetings last thereafter. I am quite interested in the outcome of the coming visits between Russia and the U.S. I expect both lies and bluster mixed in with honey ~ for peace."
12/13 ~ "It is 10 minutes walk to the dome. Ray Heyser, the House Speaker, was in town and ate dinner with 6 or 7 of us. After dinner, Ray cornered me and grinned and said, "How are you getting on, Walter? How do you like the committee I put you on?" I told him I hoped I was doing all right. He went off with a wicked gleam in his eye. And so we go. "
1/31 ~ Hartland: "The third week of the session is over and we are getting on quite well. The first big bill #386 passed the house and senate and is back in the house with minor amendments. The second #392 which dealt with consolidation of departments is through 2nd reading. There was an attempt made to amend it to death. We upset the amendment and I did some of the talking against it. I orated in my best form that:
"No one should as a public servant be appointed for life. We want no Kingdom of Education! Let me point out: an indefinite appointment may perpetuate a poor policy equally as a good. I hope you see fit to defeat the amendment."
Very dramatic. And with those short and simple words, I sat. Well I have rambled on and I hope you can get at least some of the picture of what happens as you make a law. We have got a good committee if I do say it and we were all happy Friday night but trying hard not to appear smug."
8/26 ~ Hartland: "Louis Springer is filed to run for Representative also, so we are in a contest. It is friendly so far. I encouraged him to file and let the voters decide it Sept. 11."
9/13 ~ Hartland: "We vote today. News later." "8 PM ~ I just returned from the hall. I seem to have won in the Town Representative count: 133 to 118 for Springer. Unless someone files by petition, I will have to work in Montpelier again this Winter."
11/14 ~ Hartland: "I was disappointed when Nixon lost and by so little. However, we have to live and not wring our hands. Here in town, Stafford won over Meyers and Keyser is governor. Hartland had a big vote out ~ 644 (72%). My vote was 558 as I had no one running against me. We went to Montpelier and got a place to stay engaged."
1/4 ~ Montpelier: "Here we are again "under the Dome." Tomorrow is Governor's Ball. We may go and watch awhile. And so it goes."
1/11 ~ Montpelier: "Roy Lawrence read Committee appointments this morning. Evo is chairman of State and Court and I am Vice Chairman. You can see I will soon be Governor or something. Probably something."
3/19 ~ "Our committee has requests in various bills for pay raises of $2,100,000 per year. Revenue is off just now so I fear we will have to use a knife and pare them down some. Not so pleasant to do."
7/10 ~ Hartland: The 200 Year Celebration. "Margaret is mailing a parcel for Nancy. And tomorrow back to the snake pit."
7/25 ~ Montpelier: "I thought we would close the session this week but the senate is stalling (11 to 2 for lunch today). I visited the Senate afternoon session. It ran exactly 20 minutes. It was a stall session. Most people in both houses are disgusted but it is not easy to force the Senate leaders."
7/31 ~ Montpelier: "We are really on our final week. I shall be glad to be out of it. A few people are cleaning out their desks as far as possible ready to leave tomorrow."
7/27 ~ Pavilion Hotel, Montpelier: "I am called to a Special Session to consider 4 matters. It was nice to see everyone and I have had some good visits. I talked with the Governor a few minutes. I presume I will be up here into next week. It depends on the Senate. It is a lot of in fighting done with a smiling face. I have kept a lot of notes on what I have learned in various ways. It is as interesting as "Advise and Consent." "
8/7 ~ Montpelier: "We are still tied in a reapportionment deadlock with the Senate. It is a power play. The cost is about $25,000 per week while it lasts. I expect you are back home. We had a nice visit at the lake."
8/15 ~ Hartland: "The Special Session of the Vermont Legislature has passed into history. It was an interesting session and I expect my last."
1/12 ~ Hartland: "I have been watching the start of the 1963 Session in the papers. I don't feel too much of an itch to be there. I believe I am getting lazy."
Aah . . . that's better!

We watched a show on Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Those people are crazy.
They eat dinner at 10 pm . . . and that's the Early Bird Special.
Even families with young children arrive at restaurants to dine at midnight.
That's not the crazy part.
The clubs open at 2 a.m. and people dance til dawn. Then what? A quick yawn, shower, and off to work?
And that's not the crazy part.
Folks there are big fans of plastic surgery ~ 1 out of 3 has had work done.
That's not the crazy part.
A high percentage of folks are receiving therapy for mental health issues.
But that's not the crazy part.
Here's the crazy part ~> they take their psychoanalysts on vacation with them!
How bizarre!
Maybe they bring them along to check for skeletons in the closet?
Or bats in the belfry?
Aah . . . that's better!
Do Leaders Need A Penis To Be Effective? October 13, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Bulletin Board, People, Special Events.

Last week, I received an invitation to a Leadership Forum from the College of William & Mary.
* * *
Join us for the 2014 McGlothlin Leadership Forum!
Many of us talk about it, Jim McGlothlin does it.
Every year, Jim (W&M '62, J.D. '64, LL.D. '00) creates a wonderful and vibrant on-campus opportunity for our students to become fully enmeshed in thinking about, and discussing, leadership and what it truly means to be a leader. This yearly opportunity to elevate learning becomes exponentially important for our students – especially as they consider the role they will play in a global marketplace where the impact of business trends, international law and interacting cultural expectations create a constantly changing stage upon which they will be preforming.
It is my hope that you will join our impressive list of speakers, along with Mr. McGlothlin and the deans of our business and laws schools as we engage, as a community, in conversation and thought.
I hope you'll be there,
Marilyn Ward Midyette
Executive Director of the W&M Alumni Association
The 2014 Forum will be a live Q&A on "The Challenges and Opportunities for Leadership in Our Times."
The 2014 Fellows will lead the discussion:
|Strauss Zelnick
|James Sandman
|George Tamke
When: 2 pm, October 22
Where: Raymond A. Mason School of Business
Please RSVP to reserve your seat and join the discussion!
"The Leadership Forum will bring William & Mary students and the community in touch with the highest caliber leaders in business and law in our nation. "
* * *
What struck me right away ~> all three Fellows are fellows. That seems rather skewed. It is 2014 after all.
Before sending a reply to William & Mary, I checked to see whether previous Fellows were also all fellows.
The 2011 McGlothlin Leadership Forum Fellows:
- David Boies, Chairman and Managing Partner of Boies, Schiller and Flexner LLP
- The Honorable John Snow, 73rd United States Secretary of the Treasury and former CEO of CSX Corporation
- William C. Weldon, Chairman and CEO of Johnson & Johnson
The 2012 McGlothlin Leadership Forum Fellows:
- Robert A. Clifford, Principal Partner of Clifford Law Offices
- Thomas J. Usher, of U.S. Steel and of Marathon Oil
- Seth H. Waugh, of Deutsche Bank Americas
The 2013 McGlothlin Leadership Forum Fellows:
- Sen. Evan Bayh, Partner at McGuireWoods LLP, Senior Advisor at Apollo Global Management, Former United States Senator from Indiana
- Glenn H. Hutchins, Co-founder of Silver Lake
- Linda A. Klein, Managing Shareholder, Georgia, Baker Donelson
So there you have it.
One woman.
One woman out of the past twelve fellows.
* * *
Enrollment at William & Mary's Mason School of Business is close to 50% female:
Full-time undergraduate business majors enrollment: 437
Female: 49 percent
Male: 51 percent
Enrollment at William & Mary's Law School is 53% female:
661 students
From 47 states, the District of Columbia, and 10 countries
Male/Female ratio: 47%/53%
Despite those numbers, the Leadership Forum Fellows for 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 have ALL been fellows . . . except for ONE token female.
* ONE out of 12 is dismal.
* ONE out of 12 is archaic.
* ONE out of 12 is sexist.
I e-mailed my concerns to Laura Doherty, Executive Director of Development & Alumni Relations.
She replied, inter alia:
We have spoken with this year's Fellows about the need for diversity and are optimistic that they will select their successors for next year's Forum with this in mind. You see, each year's Fellows are responsible for recruiting the Fellows for the following year.
That's unacceptable.
* Allowing Fellows to choose fellows to be next year's Fellows perpetuates the "Good Old Boy" network.
* Having five men on stage (the Dean, McGlothlin, and 3 male Fellows) for three of the past four years sends a subtle and insidious message to students and attendees that there is no room for women at the table.
It's 2014. Someone needs to send W&M that memo . . . and circle the date!
Aah . . . that's better!
What do you think? Do leaders need a penis to be effective?

Pragmatic Thoughts on Life & Death October 12, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Humor, Life Balance, People, Special Events.
Tags: Children, Death, Family, Humor, Life
49 comments
Much of my grandfather's letters dealt with the day-to-day dramas of life in the Vermont legislature, keeping weeds out of his garden, chasing deer around during hunting season, and keeping up with Mother Nature's efforts to paint a winter wonderland of white.
But he paid passing homage to the arrival and rearing of his grandkids and to the passing of friends and family:
8/20 ~ "We are remembering October [Jamie's arrival] is not so far off and it won't be long now. Tell Barbara it is OK to rush about with a wash cloth or something during the moving process but not to lift the piano. Let me know if we can do anything else."
2/4 ~ "Dear Richard, Barb and "the Problem" ~ I was much interested in your account of feeding Jamie. In learning calves to drink it was generally necessary to get them just a bit hungry. I used to discourse on this to your mother and Aunt Lucy and get them quite indignant. You and Marjorie were NOT calves! I think Lucy thought me a bit brutal. It wasn't, it was just simple common sense. The same basic strategy applies to all young creatures I think."
6/29 ~ "As it is nearing July we will be looking for NEWS soon." [My arrival]
7/20 ~ "We were pleased to get your call and the good news that everyone was OK. We expected it to be but it was nice to know it came and is over." ["It came" = ME]
2/26 ~ "Tell the children I think of them. Possibly that will not mean much to Nancy."
10/6 ~ "Margaret was quite worried over poor Nancy. It must have been quite bad while it was sore. [After spilling out of a run-a-way baby carriage, I required stitches in my tongue.] It is wonderful how children get over such things. I remember how worried we were when you upset your arm. I was worried it might be stiff in the joint. Lots of love and we will be happy to see you any time you can make it."
3/31 ~ "We just got a special delivery letter from Marjorie saying Louis Stevens died Sunday night. She also said Douglas Bruce was born and that you called Aunt Pete. [My younger brother's arrival.] We were pleased to hear of it. We could not feel too badly about Louis as he wasn't enjoying life much at the last. He told me he doubted if he would be there when I came home from Florida but he had had so many ups and downs it was a question. I feel sorry but it is a relief for Rae, I believe, to know it is over."
5/21 ~ "We had quite a shock tonight. Mr. Hubbard, the minister, dropped dead with a heart attack. It was wholly unexpected. Margaret was very upset. He was erecting a flag pole at his place when it happened. So this is most of the news and tragedy. Like life is ~ some good ~ some bad. Come up any time if you feel like it."
11/14 ~ "We still chuckle thinking how cute the children were at times. I guess we would help spoil them if we were around all the time."
12/23 ~ "Dear everyone, Probably I should write a line and throw in a few bright and salty remarks. Douglas is too young for me to sum up yet but as far as Jamie and, especially Nancy, is concerned I have to say you are doing all right. I have to grin internally every time I take a good look at her."
2/19 ~ "We enjoyed your letter and account of the kids. I could picture what you meant ~ that is, the cross currents of your under-6 society."
6/30 ~ "The sick people are as usual. We are looking for news!" [Arrival of #4.]
7/16 ~ "I expect Barb is home and the problems in your home are different than those up here. Have courage, Barb, the first 100 years are the hardest. Hope baby will be good enough to sleep nights." [My younger sister's arrival.]
10/15 ~ "It was 28 degrees this morning and sunny. Hope everything goes well and that you can come up. I realize it is quite a trip with children to consider but we would love to have you. Margaret wants to see the children ~ not you! ~ the children!"
Aah . . . that's better!

First it was bourbon, now it's butane.
After offering a J.R. Ewing-themed alcohol, TNT has announced another product tie-in to promote its new season of "Dallas": cheap gasoline.
"Dallas" season three premiere.
"Price of gasoline is too high. Well, I couldn't agree more, and as a member of the most powerful oil family in America I'm in a unique postion to do something about it," John Ross Ewing, (played by Josh Henderson) says in a promo video.
For one day only, the Ewings are going to drastically reduce gasoline prices for real-life customers.
"There's no better way to celebrate the return of Dallas than with a promotion that is Texas-sized and audacious," said Tricia Melton, senior vice president of entertainment marketing and branding for TNT.
Fans can get the exact location on Dallas' Facebook page on the morning of the 24th. Those nearby can stop by the location to see Henderson himself host the official ribbon cutting and announce the cost of the gas.

The city lies on the banks Beregove small river Werke, at the foot of the mountains, the slopes are planted with vineyards, it is known for a long tradition of grape growing and wine production.
Known Reformed church writer Papai Pariz Ferenc (1649-1716) in his book «Dictionarium latino-hungaricum» argues that before the arrival of the Hungarians there was a settlement of the Romans called Perigiumom. However, research to confirm this assumption failed.
It is known that after the death of the brother of the Hungarian King Bela Endre his tenure of I inherited became the property of his sons - Haze, Laszlo and Lampert. The area was taken over by Lampert. In folk legends say that he was the founder of the settlement on the banks of Verka, which was later on named after him «Villa Lamperti», ie Lamperthazoy.
For many centuries the owners of the settlement were Hungarian kings.
In 1141, after repeated invasions King Geza II polovtsev relocated to the city of the Saxons, since it was called Szasz, Lampertsasom, Lumprehtsasom, Lamperthazoy.
The well-known legend says that the city was founded much earlier. In this regard, the famous ethnographer Legotsky Tivadar writes: "As to the legend, according to which the shepherd Sas in place of the current Roman Catholic Church in the hole dug hooves warring bulls, found a great treasure and built a church on this site, and around it - a city which was later named Beregszasz, has no historical evidence. "
Since 1504 the city in documents called Beregszasz.
Since 1946 the official name of the city Beregovo. It is the only city in the Carpathians, where the vast majority of the population of Hungarian nationality.
Beregove - a city of regional subordination, the center Beregovsky area, it is located at a distance of 72 kilometers from the regional center Uzhgorod. Territory Beregovsky area 802 square kilometers, population - 83.3 thousand people, with 32,000 of them live in the Coast. City crosses the channel Werke, connecting the river with Borzhava Latorica.
Until 1944 the city with small breaks was the center of Beregovo.
As already noted, the founder of the city was the Duke Lampert - son of the brother of King Endre of I Bailey. Pozzheprilegayuschie tenure became the property of the kings of Arpad dynasty, and their sons. In 1247 King Bela IV granted the status of royal town Beregovoe. Its heyday coincided with the period of the reign of King Ludwig the Great and Queen Elizabeth. Later surrounding land passed into the possession of the Transylvanian prince Gabriel Bethlen, who built his palace in the city. The city played a major role in the liberation war antigabsburgskoy Prince Ferenc Rakoczy. May 22, 1703 is the central square Beregova Tomas ECE unfolded the banner of revolt. Ferenc Rakoczy in this city issued December 20, 1705 its call for an uprising of the people.
The city played an active role in the liberation war of 1848-1849. After Saint-Germain peace treaty he joined the Czechoslovak Republic.
In June 1945, Transcarpathia became part of Ukraine.
The city developed these types of industries like woodworking, furniture, instrument, sewing and others, however, in the current difficult economic situation they work is not complete on their own power. Beregovo famous for its wine production, Transcarpathian vintage wines are bottled in Beregovsky winery.

Gov. Inslee: Washington's future as aerospace capital 'secured'January 3, 2014 @ 10:42 pm (Updated: 10:55 pm - 1/3/14 )
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Gov. Jay Inslee says Boeing machinists' approval of a new contract sought by the company means Washington will remain a global leader in aerospace for years to come.
Speaking late Friday shortly after the results were announced, Inslee said "tonight, Washington state secured its future as the aerospace capital of the world."
The contract OK'd by union members would concede some pension and health care benefits in order to gain assembly of the company's new 777X airplane for the Puget Sound region. The offer fractured the union, with local machinists' officials urging the 30,000 members to oppose the deal.
Inslee acknowledged the issue was difficult for union members, and said he wanted to thank "each machinist, no matter how they voted."

Arizona Cardinals
John Skelton benched in second quarter vs. Falcons
John Skelton's 2012-2013 season took yet another turn Sunday.
Midway through the second quarter of Arizona's game against the Falcons, the former fifth-round pick out of Fordham was replaced in favor of rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley.
Despite three first quarter interceptions by the Cardinals defense, Skelton began the game just 2-for-7 for six yards.
Skelton began the season as the team's starter before suffering a right ankle injury in the team's 20-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks. After Kevin Kolb sustained a rib injury in the fourth quarter of Arizona's Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Skelton once again took over the starting duties.
In his last three starts, Skelton is 0-3.
Lindley, who was selected in the sixth round by the Cardinals in last April's draft, came into Sunday's game with no career pass attempts.

Diafrix - I'm a Dreamer
Artist: Diafrix
Featuring: 360
Producer: Styalz Fuego [for Affinity Music Group]
Album: Pocket Full of Dreams
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 12 votes )
On their last feature, Momo and Azmarino of Diafrix took an "Easy Come, Easy Go" perspective on life's ups and downs. Their laid-back acceptance of fate, however, shouldn't be taken as a lack of ambition. On the contrary, the future aspirations the crew outline on prospective new single I'm a Dreamer aren't just lofty, they're literally infinite in scope. Over crewmate Styalz Fuego's appropriately anthemic production, the emcees announce that, "[t]he sky ain't the limit—no, the universe is." Fellow Melbourne representative 360 (previously featured on the solo tip with Killer) anticipates his own bright future in a high-energy guest 16. Like what you're hearing? There's more uplifting material where this cut came from on Pocket Full of Dreams, available in stores and online as of this past September.

The Press Newspaper
The Press Newspaper
Genoa - The village police department has been investigating several reports of vandalism to area residences and vehicles involving the use of blue spray paint.
Most reports have been concentrated in the area of 5th Street, west to Buckeye Street, north to 9th Street and east to Washington Street, including the park structures. The letters "FNS" along with a five-pointed star have been applied in blue spray paint to several properties. "FNS", the color blue and the five-pointed star stands for "Folk Nation Sign" a symbol of "Crips" gang activity, said Chief Randy Hill.
The theft occurred around March 15, 2008. The Dean fryer weighs about 800 pounds, which would require someone with a large pickup truck to move, said Chief Richard Bingham. It was taken from the northeast corner of the American Legion property, he said.
Persons with information about the theft are asked to call police at (419) 287-3250. A reward is being offered.
No results found.

ACCESS-IT considers that ICT enables a person with a disability to access their right to:
- Education (using mediums such as e-learning, audio books),
- Employment (including tele-work or working with the support of assistive technology),
- Daily tasks (like filling tax/bank forms paying online) and
- Socialise (find and talk with friends, being another person, at Second Life or playing a life simulation game such as Sim City)
Some people with disabilities are enjoying this access today, but not all.
Some of the current barriers to using AT and/or ICT may include the following:
- Inaccessible design of Technology, (websites, software and hardware)
- Lack of knowledge and awareness including suitable training
- Fear of Cost
- Lack of awareness of solutions
- Lack of motivation and fear of failure
Our Concept
To address these, ACCESS-IT seeks to:
- Make people aware of existing ICT, products and services that serve the lives of disabled and elderly and how they can exploit them
- Make people believe in the power of Accessible ICT and Assistive Technology by promoting best practice and success
- Recognise the efforts made by the ICT and AT Industry, disability community and policy makers in making services and products that are affordable, usable and that address the needs of those with a disability or the elderly.
ACCESS-IT – The Brand, the Future
ACCESS-IT is now launched and is is evolving continuously. Previously there was no cohesive ongoing initiativethat celebrates and also demonstrates AT and ICT. ACCESS-IT has changed this and draws together scientific, academic, technical and commercial developments to meet the everyday needs of people with a disability and the elderly and in doing so enhance the quality of lives.

NKY teacher won't be charged over relationship with ex-student
Updated On: Jul 24 2013 05:14:19 PM EDT
A teacher won't face criminal charges for her relationship with a student.
The 24-year-old teacher, whose name was not released, resigned Monday from Bellevue Independent School District after school officials heard the allegations.
Authorities said the 18-year-old male student graduated in May and the relationship took place in July.
Police investigated the case but determined Wednesday that the teacher hadn't broken any laws.
Under Kentucky law, it's illegal for adults to have a relationship with people younger than age 18 over whom they're in a position of authority.
