BOOM! ... And then BUST!
The stock market has done it. So has the housing market. And perhaps so will your career if you're not careful.
Here are five tips for upcoming college graduates — or for any one with a career — that might prevent that. They are from my new book "The BOOM! BOOM! Book: Practical tips to make sure your career doesn't go BUST!
Keep the right person happy
The Person You Have to Keep Happy in Your Life is YOU! In your career, make sure you're doing something you want to do, not what others want you to do. If you find something you care passionately about, you have a much better chance of success. True happiness isn't measured by the number of zeroes on your pay stub.
Complaining vs. fundamental differences
In any job there's going to be complaining. You are overworked, there are not enough resources, there's not enough time. You might as well accept that. The real issue is if you have a fundamental or philosophical difference with the way the company is being run. Then you have two choices: accept it or leave. It's that simple.
Bosses are human, too
Employees often forget that their bosses are human, too, with the same feelings and same insecurities that the employees have. Make sure you give positive feedback to your boss when he or she has helped you. Your boss is eager to know whether what he or she said or did made a difference. Your boss also will be more inclined to help you out again.
Be willing to change
It'sextremely important to continue to learn new things and expand your talents. The skills you might need in five years are skills you might not possess today. People who want to evolve and succeed are those who will figure out how to get the needed skills. They are people who won't just depend on their company to provide that training. They are proactive, seeking training opportunities and keeping up through reading and conversations about the latest technology.
Your boss isn't a mind reader (neither are you!)
Bosses won't know what you want out of your career unless you tell them.
That's why it is important to discuss with them your aspirations and how you would like to see your career progress. Keep in mind: you need to present it as how – with additional responsibilities -- you can be more valuable to the company. In the end, your boss and your company are more interested in what's in it for them, than what's in it for you. The person who your career means most to is you. Putting yourself in the position to get what you want is up to you. If you wait to get knighted, it could be a long night.
Michael Ryan is the author of The BOOM! BOOM! Book: Practical tips to make sure your career doesn't go BUST! available at www.theboomboombook.com. He will be doing a talk/book signing at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 1 at The Poisoned Pen, 4014 N Goldwater Blvd., No. 101, Scottsdale.

District 911 Wishes You a Happy Thanksgiving!
Volleyball Champions!
Congratulations to our Bluejacket volleyball team coached by Vicki Courts, Chris Hedberg, Mark Courts, Tosha Brown, and Andrea Birkholz. They won the 2014 Mississippi 8 Conference Volleyball Championship.
The team finished 9-0 in conference play. The volleyball team is a very impressive 24-4 on the season and will enter section play next week.
This volleyball championship is the first Bluejacket conference championship in volleyball since the 1978 season. A BIG Congratulations to our volleyball coaching staff and team!
Queen Thessa Daniels & King Nathan Cox were crowned Homecoming Royalty on Monday October 6th
Isanti Intermediate and School For All Seasons recognized a group of 12 students on September 19 for demonstrating the five character traits and for showing Bluejacket Pride.
We are Proud of them!
For the announcements during directed study:
Well done and thank you Cambridge-Isanti High School. For the
past four years, the Bluejacket varsity football team has taken a knee
when our opponents have experienced an injury during a game.
This is very classy and respectful behavior.
Last Friday at our football game with North Branch, a young man from North Branch was hurt and on the ground needing medical attention. OUr entire Bluejacket football team immediately took a knee out of respect and care for the injured. At the same time, our entire student cheering section all sat down out of respect and care. The respect, care, and class of our teams and cheering sections at events helps contribure to making our high school (in my opinion) the finest in the Nation.
Well cone and thank you Bluejacket students for being a leader and an example for others in class, respect, care, and sportsmanship!

Congratulations to our Bluejacket volleyball team coached by Vicki Courts, Chris Hedberg, Mark Courts, Tosha Brown, and Andrea Birkholz, as on Saturday they won the Section 7AAA Volleyball Championship. Earlier this fall, the Bluejackets also won the Mississippi 8 Conference Volleyball Championship.
This Section Championship in Bluejacket Volleyball, is the first in school history. A BIG Congratulations to our volleyball coaching staff and team! Our team played with heart and pride and defeated an outstanding North Branch volleyball team 3-2. 25-17, 20-25, 26-28, 25-19, and 15-10 were the scores in an extremely well played match!
Thanks to our large delegation of Bluejackets fans that supported our team and coaching staff in the three section games. The numbers of parents/guardians, teachers, members of other Bluejacket coaching staffs, administrators, alumni, and resident fans was tremendous. Our large crowd celebrating the championship, with our team and coaching staff, on the gym floor at Chisago Lakes is a life-long fond memory to cherish!
We have great students at Cambridge-Isanti and North Branch.
The students from both schools were loud and proud. The chanting back and forth was fun and provided for a great atmosphere: Loud chants of
" Let's Go Vikings, Let's Go Jackets"; rivalry and respect at its best!
GO BIG BLUE Volleyball!
Thank you!
"Our community helped to fund the secure entrances at our schools with support of the bond referendum last fall (2013). Thank you for helping to keep our students and our schools safe."

National Merit Scholarship Program
Pictured top row, Charles Barnhouse andTaylor Weeks
Bottom row, Ryan Fredlund
The principal, Mitch Clausen, of Cambridge-Isanti High School announced today that Charles Barnhouse, Ryan Fredlund, and Taylor Weeks have each been named a Commended Student in the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, has been presented by the principal to these scholastically talented seniors.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2015 competition for National Merit Scholarships, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2011 competition by taking the 2013 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
"The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," commented a spokesperson for NMSC. "These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.

For Related Articles and More Information, Please Visit OCA's Genetic Engineering Page and our Millions Against Monsanto Page.
Robert Fraley, Monsanto's Chief Technology Officer and this year's winner of the dubious World Food Prize, recently admitted that Monsanto made a huge strategic error by focusing educational outreach on growers and ignoring consumers. An interesting analysis of this admission is presented in an overlooked report by Joan Faus published in the April 12, 2014 edition of
El País (Spain). Faus quotes Fraley admitting the error: "In the last twenty years almost all of our communication activities and education have been focused on farmers and it went very well. But the mistake we made is that we did not put enough effort toward consumer education."
Faus attended a press conference hosted last month by Fraley in St. Louis with invited members of the European press corps. The extended session revealed much about the political
and strategic worldview of Monsanto's top technologist and legitimation agent-in-chief. According to Faus, Fraley's view of consumer education is informed by the corporation's awareness that the future of genetically modified foods will be largely played out in the public sphere and not the science labs. We should note that scientists have always been imbricated with the political machinery of the state as the overlapping industry ties of past and current USDA and FDA appointees will attest.
Perhaps, but one thing is certain: Monsanto does seem acutely aware that the battle between supporters and opponents of GM has heated up and is extremely fierce. Moreover, after years of accumulating what Fraley views as an unfairly bad reputation, the Gene Giant has decided to change strategy: It plans to
get closer to the consumer so it can work at convincing skeptics and critics of the safety of its products and the positive effects biotechnology presumably has on world agriculture [sic].

OSA is responsible for making edits to the Admissions and General University sections of the catalog by communicating with various departments within the University. Once all updates and edits are made, the SmartCatalog program is able to pull the new catalog together and seamlessly finalize it for submission and publication. Using the SmartCatalog program, Pace University is able to provide identical online and downloadable versions of the Undergraduate Academic Catalog. An archive of these academic catalogs produced through SmartCatalog is also available.

Negroponte Offers to Collaborate with India on $35 Tablet
One Laptop Per Child project founder wants to help the country realize their tablet efforts.
Nicholas Negroponte, project founder of One Laptop Per Child, offered to collaborate with India's Ministry of Human Resource Development to realize the country's aspirations for a US$ 35 laptop. OLPC has had a checkered relationship with the MHRD, which initially rejected the OLPC initiative saying, "It would be impossible to justify an expenditure of this scale on a debatable scheme when public funds continue to be in inadequate supply for well-established needs listed in different policy documents," the ministry said.
Negroponte's offer is being viewed by many as an attempt at collaboration, something OLPC has failed to adopt in the past. Negroponte has said that competition would hurt the OLPC initiative, but he now seems more willing to embrace competitors.
India's US$ 35 laptop is currently unnamed. The device was developed by students and teachers at The Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, Mumbai, Chennai and Kharagpur and the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. It was built on open source technologies and features a Web browser, a multimedia player, PDF reader, Wi-Fi connectivity, and video conferencing capabilities.
Re: Yeah Right!Good news all around.
Yeah right!In other news, Elvis is back in Graceland, computers cost $35 and food is now free.

Two weeks to go in the Indiana General Assembly's current session, and what do Hoosiers have to show for it?
A long and divisive debate over same-sex marriage. Repeated attempts to allow guns on school property. Alcohol at the state fair. More efforts to restrict abortion rights. A likely tax cut for business owners – at the expense of schools and local government.
Not an impressive record. There's still time to produce meaningful legislation that will improve Hoosiers' lives more than cursive writing instruction, but lawmakers are struggling to stay on task. Just last week, Sen. Phil Boots, R-Crawfordsville, attempted to amend a bill to allow employers to discriminate in hiring on the basis of religion – at the height of an uproar over a discriminatory measure approved by Arizona lawmakers. His amendment followed one pushed by Rep. P. Eric Turner, R-Cicero, that would have permitted charities and private universities that contract with the state to use religion-based employment guidelines. State contractors are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, national origin, disability or ancestry. House Speaker Brian Bosma wisely spiked the amendment, but not before the measure drew the attention of USA Today, the Los Angeles Times and the Advocate, the leading national publication for gays and lesbians.
The disparaging publicity certainly does nothing to promote Indiana as an open and welcoming state for potential employers or employees.
Hoosiers themselves aren't feeling so great about their state. The just-released Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index finds Indiana 40th in the nation on residents' perceptions on financial security, access to food, shelter and health care, and other measures. The survey found a strong correlation between Gallup's job creation, economic confidence and underemployment indexes, each of which found Indiana ranked in the middle or lower half of the states.
Poverty is growing in the state. From census data, the Working Poor Families Project finds Indiana ranks 18th in the nation for the number of female-headed low-income working families. As of 2012, there were 235,831 low-income working families in the state, with 91,703 headed by working mothers.
While demands have increased exponentially over the past several decades, state policies do not reflect the reality of low-income working families. The broken rungs on the ladder to economic mobility have resulted in too many working families working harder for less, said Jessica Fraser, program manager for the Indiana Institute for Working Families.
Efforts by Indiana lawmakers could improve well-being measures and the state's poverty rate. In the waning days of the session, legislators could:
Improve access to health care by expanding Medicaid, as the Indiana Hospital Association recommends. (The association's president, David Leonard, writes of this issue on Page 12A.)
Support job creation with employee-friendly measures rather than legislation marking the state as intolerant.
Improve schools by supporting research-based methods, not by continued cuts to funding.
There's still time for lawmakers to emerge from the session with a record of improvement. Step up – show Hoosiers and the rest of the nation that you're committed to making Indiana a better home for all.

Not all data encryption is created equal
Re: FIPS 140-2
I'm inclined to side with AC! While the standard may be adequate, to infer this certainly isn't:
A FIPS 140-2 certificate confirms that the encryption has been implemented in a way that cannot be circumvented.
Also, while I'm under the silly hat: Assuming our Trev understands the difference between a cipher and digest, he might like to rephrase this...
Not all encryption is made equal. SHA-1 and MD5 are common encryption methods and are about as safe as plaintext. Cracking them is beyond easy. AES-256 is better – probably the minimum that should be used – but how to be sure the implementation is sound?

Yeah, right... and I'm the fucking pope.
Clearly the politicians are far too stupid/corrupt to do anything about it. Fortunately Torvalds isn't a malignant mega-corporation. He seems to want to just get on with managing his kernel, rather than be diverted into playing stupid power games and subterfuge.

Microsoft brings Azure back online

Google takes Chromebook upmarket with touchy-feely Pixel
Re: 13"?
Yes, I think the super sharpness and detail of text and images when displayed at those high densities is most of the appeal of this Chromebook - but not just for games. If you're content running it at half its native resolution then, as you say, most of Windows' potential problems will disappear and you'll still get the benefit of invisible (physical) pixels - even though you'll have blockier (display) pixels. There's probably a text anti-aliasing setting which would deliver a pleasant enough rendering.
I think I might have misread 1)...
Are you wondering if you can download ChromeOS independently... i.e. without having a Chrome device? The project lives at www.chromium.org/chromium-os but doesn't provide any binaries. You can also download a prepared image (for either VMWare, VirtualBox or a USB stick) from chromeos.hexxeh.net (posted an erroneous link earlier - sorry if I sent you on a wild goose chase!)
Re: This will become more.
I agree. These are two more areas - high density displays and ARM support (other Chromebooks) - where Linux distros offer a real advantage over Windows (apart from the rather trivial not-having-to-pay-for-them thing)
The "upgrade paths and full hardware support" are already in place! Google and its staff have a good record of actively supporting Linux.
I'm starting to feel like I'm doing Eadon's job for him! Don't you work on weekends Eadon? ;o)
Re: 13"?
Agree about VERY expensive. The beautiful panel is beautiful and 3:2 and all but not all that different from the beautiful panel in the Nexus 10 - which sells for under half the price. ~$700 does seem a high price to pay for little more than 16GB flash, a hinge and Intel.
1) Dunno. Probably... but why not just shrink the partition(s) which arrive on it or clone it/them onto an SD card or USB stick?
2) I doubt MS is competent to make W8 & their own applications work consistently nicely on high density displays (nevermind "legacy" 3rd party apps) - I suspect that's the reason we're having to suffer crap screens in the PC sector... but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't run. You'll need to have drivers for the isl29023 ambient light sensor, the Atmel mxt224s trackpad and the Atmel mxt1664s touchscreen if you want those to work.
Re: Oh FFS - It's like Google have chosen to forget the past.
I'd rather have the physical keyboard removed and have a touch-screen put in place that acts as a keyboard. Then at least you can alter the keys based on the program you're using.
What an AWESOME idea! With an efficient low-res cheap-n-nasty monochrome OLED/whatever display behind it to define the keys... Still horrid to type on compared to a real keyboard but at least you'd still be able to see what you're typing into while you're using it. Nifty solution to localisation too. You could even define your own keys. Think I'll add an additional custom top row to mine providing some extra currencies, a couple of common ligatures and diaereses and some handy unicode symbols. Add a decent stylus and the more-graphics-than-typing creative types would probably go mad for it.
Re: 3:2
~10GB for the OS and ~4 for swap leaves ~50GB for data. Not an "awful lot", certainly but I think ample for a portable device. I'm saying "ample" because I think ample is the point: A portable device of any kind isn't somewhere I'd choose to archive data... and one that's a tempting target for thieves but fitted with a temperamental shock sensitive storage medium least of all.
<-- FAIL Not for your post ("matte screen" alone got you an automatic upvote), for your spinning rust contraption and the 500GB+ of your data you had on it
Re: 3:2
That's exactly what I'm thinking... presumably whoever it is who's making these 3:2 2560x1700 panels didn't set up the line(s) exclusively for Google... so they're coming! ...and "wide viewing angles" - usually marketingdroidese for IPS (or PLS or one of the similar HQ designs). All very promising!
<-- PS... 64GB SSD and 4GB RAM is ample to install a proper OS ;o)
Oh FFS

Linaro Linux-on-ARM effort sets sights on network gear
Re: Deliberately disingenuous?
What a relief!
Thanks for the clarification TPM... and glad you haven't turned to the dark side!
Do you think it might be reasonable to add "ARM Holdings" to the third paragraph? I don't think I'd have seen any snide undertones if not for that curious omission.
Deliberately disingenuous?
Did anyone else get the distinct impression that whole piece was something of a backhanded hatchet attack at ARM Holdings?
Began with a deeply spurious dig at the architecture:
the diversity of the ARM chip ecosystem makes creating an operating system that spans them all a big pain in the ass – much tougher than for a relatively homogeneous x86 chip racket.
Next came an "inadvertent"(?) omission:
And thus Linaro was created in June 2010 by Freescale Semiconductor, Samsung, ST-Ericsson, Texas Instruments, and believe it or not IBM
Followed by an explanation of how rudimentary, almost patent-trollish, ARM's "basic" contribution is and how dynamic and pivotal the Linaro project is:
Linaro sort of resembles ARM Holdings, the company that designs the basic ARM feature set and licenses it for modification and integration into myriad devices. ARM is the starting point of ARM processor and system-on-chip designs, and Linaro wants to be the focal point of where all of the key parts of the Linux kernel and related stack are tweaked and tuned to run across ARM architectures.
...all nicely setting us up for the punchline...
The difference is that ARM charges money to license its chip technology and Linaro just pays to have programmers work on open source code that is given back to the community.
OOHHHhhhh! Evil ARM. Sitting back and scamming all those licence fees for your "basic" IP while leaving five other companies to "pay" to do all the complicated software development... which they then donate to the public good!
...except that ARM was that "inadvertent"(?) omission from the list of founders and, of course, contributes immense amounts to Linaro and directly into Linux.
All very odd. I'd previously got the impression the author was optimistic about the ARMish uprising and the return of a bit of healthy competition to the server racket... so what's going on? An honest mistake, perhaps compounded by a touch of trying too hard not to appear screaming girlie? A change of heart? Just another hapless commentard scudding off into the vortex of conspiricy-nuttery? Anyone?

Re: HDR?
I think that was the point.

The crude automated stacking step takes a bit of grunt.

Re: Shame the sun didn't come out
My initial thought was "couldn't they have waited for a sunny day" too... but thinking about it... the sun moving across the sky several times during the 4000-and-odd exposures would have created a stitching nightmare. Methinks the uniform lighting was requisite.
Could have brightened the finished montage up a bit afterwards though...
Survey: Bosses are DESPERATE and GAGGING for Linux skills
Re: Also: MS Office For Linux (kernel)
Why not? They produce office for the other single-digit desktop platform as well. So porting to Ubuntu, Suse, RedHat, Mint, RedStar... should not be a technical problem.
No, I'm sure there's no technical problem at all. It'll be what Microsoft euphemistically refer to as "a political problem" - meaning monopolist strategy. That "other single-digit desktop platform" will never offer real competition. A tightly controlled walled garden running exclusively on outdated but overpriced novelty hardware from a single vendor. Hardly a realistic alternative to the cut-throat PC channel - for the myriad corporate minions - is it? Shiny gratification for a handful of bourgeois upper management types maybe but a mass-deployed tool for the plebs to type on? Hardly!
Office for Linux on the other hand... that's a totally different kettle of fish. Contemporary Linux systems run comfortably on whatever decade old commodity hardware happens to be lying around. For example, I just happen to be typing this on an old single core PentiumM laptop sporting 1.5GB RAM and the infamous Intel 855GM graphics abomination. It's running a very recently released (2013) derivative of Debian's forthcoming Wheezy (Crunchbang-Waldorf) which I've been fairly savagely torture-testing. The OS is running from an .ISO file (it's not even "installed" anywhere)!... on an 8GB USB stick!... There's no HDD fitted and no other storage.
Some handy system stats from Conky:
Uptime:______ 20d 14h 45m
Ram:________ 864MiB/1.2GB
Swap usage:__ 1.26GB/4GB
Disk usage:___ 493MiB/616MiB
CPU usage:___ 4%
The "swap" is a partition on the stick and the "disk" is the .ISO(USB)/fusion(RAM) filesystem in case you're wondering.
Clicking to close this Firefox window, I'm warned "You are about to close 174 tabs. Are you sure you want to continue?" I also have an Iceweasel window running. Only 86 open tabs in that though. I've also had three fairly large PDFs lying open for a week or two, along with a text editor with half a dozen tabs, four file browser windows, fifteen "mid res" (2288x1712) JPEGs from the missus, a handful of system tools and three terminal windows (all resting ATM) strewn across three virtual desktops. None too shabby an assortment of clutter I feel. System is as nippy and pleasant to operate as the moment I booted it. I've been expecting the kernel to run out of base RAM at some point - this is a pre-PAE pentium - but 20.5 days in I'm starting to think I'll crack before the it does. If you haven't noticed, I'm quite impressed - but not surprised. So...
Office for Linux? No. Methinks not. The moment Microsoft released it Linux would eat Microsoft's lunch. Office is the Windows lock-in - without that why wouldn't any firm immediately roll out craploads of cloned Debian, Cent OS or RedHat stations for the Office drones? The brass would have their shiny Macs, the drones would have solid, stable, almost timeless systems to work at and everyone but Microsoft would be laughing all the way to the bank. Slowly migrate those odd specialist apps for the technical types, beancounters and whatnot and what's Microsoft left? MS Office. If I was Balmer, that prospect would not be something I'd want to facilitate.
Re: Also: MS Office For Linux (kernel)
Spread the word and it is going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
OMG! Someone's OD'd on the space-cakes.
There'll NEVER be Office for Linux. NEVER. How would MS fully control their painstakingly honed rolling-incompatibility-programme™ and inbuilt-obsolescence™ without maintaining full control of the platform?
A carefully hamstrung toy-Office-cum-subterfuge-tool, quite possibly... but a full "Office for Linux"?!!! NEVER.

A little about me...
I consider myself to be light-hearted but sincere. I laugh a lot and try not to take myself too seriously. I live one day at a time and try not to worry about what may never happen. However, I do take my friendships and relationships seriously and with lots of loyalty. People are most important in my life! My career as an insurance broker keeps me pretty busy during the week, so I try to have fun on the weekends.
About the one I'm looking for...
Looking for a long-term relationship with an honest, sincere man with conservative values. A great sense of humor is a must! I'd like someone to make me laugh! Physical fitness is important to me also since I try to take care of my physical health. My great grandmother lived to the ripe age of 102.....that's my goal! I am allergic to cigarette smoke and will not reply to anyone who smokes. I'm also not interrested in anyone who is not a committed Christian.
I'd just like to add...
I enjoy being active and staying fit with various gym activities and some dancing. Eating out is good, but I also like to entertain friends at home since I enjoy cooking. After travelling throughout most of Europe and Asia, I have learned to cook many ethnic foods. Occasionally I like to see good movies and plays or musical concerts! I've done a lot of travelling and would always enjoy more. I am open to doing most fun things which another might want to do.

No tapes, no lawyers, no leaks. For the first time in months, Mel Gibson's ex and baby mama Oksana Grigorieva is talking about her explosive relationship with the movie star in a wide-ranging interview in People.
And she's not holding back...
MORE: In case you forgot, here's the horrific racist rant Mel spewed against Oksana
Grigorieva, 40, reveals details about the incident that led to the demise of their relationship and launched a criminal investigation into possible domestic abuse charges.
"I thought he would kill me," Grigorieva says of the night last January during which Gibson, 54, allegedly hit her while she was holding their baby, Lucia.
Gibson has disputed the tale, saying he tried to "intervene" while she held the baby.
The Russian-born pianist and singer also addresses why she taped Gibson's angry phone calls. "I needed to document his threats," she says, but still insists she has no idea who leaked the tapes.
"I'm not angry at him," she adds. "For the sake of Lucia, I really want him to be well. He has to have the courage to be responsible for what he's done."

"She's dead… Wrapped in chiptunes"
Greetings from the Pacific Northwest! Am here getting ready for the next Fangamer/Attract Mode shindig, though I always make the trek bit early, since Washington State is also my former stomping grounds.
I feel fortunate to have grown up at a time in which Seattle's popularity was at its apex, and I'm not just talking about the glory days of grunge. It's when Twin Peaks was on the air, which remains one of my fave shows of all time, and hence why I'm posting the video above.
Apologizes if old, but I've been out of the loop for the past couple of weeks, due to show pre-show prep. And yes, it's advertised as being the Twin Peaks intro on the NES, despite the fact that it's color palette and resolution is a bit closer to what the SNES was capable of.
I've long given up that ghost, much like how I've long stopped explaining to people that Nirvana is more than just a cheap rip off the Pixies.
The Ladies Of Chiptunes Gather This Saturday Night
Summertime is when most everyone consumes mass quantities of chilled delicacies to fight off the heat, but here in New York City, it's also the time of year in which we all indulge in mass quantities of chiptunes! Sadly, the summer of 2012 was the last one for Blip Fest, at least for the foreseeable future.
Thankfully, residents of the Big Apple still have plenty of options. Like Pulsewave, the regularly run showcase of 8bit music that takes place every month or so. This weekend's yet another installment, but one that's completely unlike any before: the entire card, top to bottom, is filled with female performers.
Including Drum Machine Dating Service (who also happens to be one half of The Shortsleeves, aka Jenn de la Vega, with the other half being our very own Paul Owens), Corset Lore (who's one half of foci + loci, aka Tamara Yadao), and Bubblyfish (the alter ego of Haeyoung Kim, one of the very first female chiptuners to explode onto the scene).
Even the visuals are being provided by a lady, CHiKA! It all goes down this Saturday, June 29th, at Brooklyn Launchpad (721 Franklin Avenue). Doors open at 8PM, with an open mic starting 8:30. It's an all ages show, so you'll have to BYOB. And the price of admission? Just ten bucks. For more info, here's the obligatory Facebook events page.
A Hip Hop Tribute To Yasunori Mitsuda & A Song So Catchy You Won't Believe It's From Ultima 3
I'm surprised it hasn't made a bigger splash elsewhere, so may as well pass along the following: have you heard of MITSUDA? It's tribute mix tape that's dedicated to the one and only Yasunori Mitsuda. You know, the composer who helped to define what JRPGs should sound like? And almost single-handedly, via his Chrono Trigger score.
MITSUDA is the brainchild of Julian Wass, who previously tapped into Xenogears for Main Attrakionz's Cloud Skatin. Besides featuring a who's who from the hip hop and electronic music scenes, Derek did the cover! Best part? It's a free download, so nab your copy here. Also, special thanks to Ryan Sands for the heads up.
Anyhow, since we're talking about music anyway, may as well pass along a few related odds and ends…

So Long, And Thanks For All The Beeps
It was noted last summer that the Blip Festival was going to be "paused". But there was always hope (or the expectation) that the world's most recognized and celebrated chiptunes gala would eventually make a comeback, after batteries have been recharged.
But last night an email was sent out, to let everyone know that it is indeed the end of the road. Via the Blip Festival team, and in its entirety:
Those of you who joined us last October for Blip Festival Tokyo, whether in-person or via the live stream, will probably agree that the whole joyous affair served as an appropriately spectacular and thunderous finale for the Blip Festival event series as a whole. And whether you attended that one, or one of our other eleven editions over the past six years, or just tuned in, spread the word, and otherwise cheered it all on from afar — we'd like to thank you for helping make the Blip Festival event series what it was. It's been a blast for us. We hope it's been fun for you too.

Tis The Season For Japanese Chiptunes And Sound Shapes DLC
First thing's first, got another Kickstarter to be mindful of: the Nubuwo Winter Bundle. For just $10 you get over 200 primo audio cuts, from various indie games (including Hotline Miami and Faster Than Light) and chiptunes complications. Though the real star of the show is the FAMI-MODE 2012 DVD.
The dvd is set to contain live performances from Omodaka, Professor Sakamoto (both of whom I've talked about in past updates), Kplecraft, Ashtray, and SEXY-SYNTHESIZER. With less than a week to go, it's only a little over the halfway mark towards meeting the goal, so it definitely needs all the love it can get!
Speaking, I'm a big fan of both chiptunes AND Christmas music, and tis the season to enjoy both. The following is a live performance of one of my favorite mash-ups, courtesy of Hally. It's Xmas Song Megamix (Plastic Sputnik Arcade Punk), which might recall from The 8bits of Christmas, though its closer to the version found on Holy 8bit Night…
And finally, instead of just listening to seasonal chiptunes, why not create your own? Which is now made all the easier, thanks to the just released Holiday Sound Pack for Sound Shapes…
Only 48 Hours Remain To Support LA Game Space
First thing's first, and in case you haven't heard: the LA Game Space Kickstarter has reached it's goal! A hearty thank you to everyone who chipped in and helped to make it happen, as well spreading the word!
And congratulations to both Adam and Daniel, for such a tremendous job of exciting everyone's imagination in the first place. The world of video games has long needed a place like LA/GS and thank goodness it's finally happening.
Yes it's in Los Angeles, which is not close by for most people reading this (myself included). But rest assured, the place that Mr. Robezzoli and Mr. Rehn are hoping to build will forge new territory the medium, and the end result will be felt in every corner of this earth, without question.
Once again, it's all thanks to you, for believing in the dream. But we're only getting started! And, there's literally a new reason to contribute, with every passing day practically…

The Sights And Sounds Of Blip Festival Tokyo 2012
Unfortunately, a very lucky few were able to witness Blip Festival Tokyo 2012 firsthand, a little over two weekends ago. Thankfully, some individuals have stepped forward to deliver much-appreciated scraps for the rest of us.
First we have the images you see above, courtesy of Marjorie Becker, who without question is the chipscene's most prolific and accomplished photographer; she's essentially the 8bit equivalent to Charles Peterson, for those of your familiar with world of rock and roll.

Musjack.com – Agnes Monica performing again at the pre Grammy 2014 as she had done in the past year . This time , the singer of the Coke Bottle re- emerged with a fairly sexy clothing . What she looks like ?
In some photos uploaded Agnes Monica through their social media accounts , this singer look beautiful and elegant . He was wearing a black blazer , his hair was neatly tied only to the rear without various accessories , as a result look more mature appearance .
But the most interesting is the blue bra that covers the chest . Inevitably , Agnes cleavage so it looks quite clear . However this time the style of dress Agnes rated much better than his performance in the same event in 2013 ago .
As is known , in the pre- Grammy event in 2013 , Agnes had come under sharp criticism because of the clothing that is considered bad . At that time , Agnes just wearing beaded bra , vest batik , as well as hot jeans pant torn here and there .
Regardless of the style of clothing Agnes , the young singers of this one was lucky enough to attend the event due to ' warm up ' the Grammys . Although not able to get a nomination in the prestigious music awards , at least Agnes managed to meet some famous people as he exhibited in Instagramnya account .

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Recap: Adrienne Maloof and Lisa Vanderpump's War Continues
Adrienne Maloof and Lisa Vanderpump's feud continues as Camille Grammer returns on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Last week Adrienne got the shaft from Lisa as the latter invited all of the other housewives to attend her restaurant Villa Blanca's 3rd anniversary party. Adrienne smarted from Lisa's cold shoulder but it didn't stop Adrienne from notifying her former friend of the slight... by sending a huge and strange flower arrangement congratulating Lisa on her success.
Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven't watched Monday's episode, "The Higher the Heel, the Closer to God."
Kyle Richards asked if Adrienne would talk to Lisa in order to fix the rift between the two. Adrienne felt Lisa was being immature. Kyle countered Lisa was a bit sensitive and Adrienne shouldn't expect the feisty Brit to apologize. Adrienne remarked if Lisa wanted a relationship with her, she needed to apologize. Don't hold your breath, Adrienne.
Kyle was preparing for her daughter's birthday party when Lisa arrived with hubby Ken Todd. Lisa told her gal pal she couldn't stick around Portia's party for long, since she had a previous engagement. Kyle wondered if Lisa would at least stay long enough to make amends with Adrienne. Lisa smashed that fantasy, insisting she had to keep her previous engagement.
When Kyle asked if Lisa would consider coming to a dinner party to hash things out with Adrienne, she declined. Apparently, Kyle was much more interested in her friends patching things up than they were!
Camille arrived (welcome back girl!) at the festivities, and quickly caught up on all the drama, courtesy of Kyle. Camille couldn't understand why former neighbors Lisa and Adrienne couldn't get it together. She and Kyle had after all.
While Kyle and Camille's backs were turned, Brandi beat a hasty exit, minutes before Kim Richards and Adrienne arrived. Paul asked if Lisa would be in attendance, prompting Kyle to relay Lisa's excuse for leaving early.
Buzz Moments
OMG!: Paul trying on women's shoes with Adrienne for Taylor's charity event -- such a bittersweet moment featuring the two.
Thank you, TV gods.: Kyle refusing to gossip about Brandi to Adrienne and Kim when Taylor tried to pressure her. Taylor needs to stop stirring the pot.
Awk-ward: Housewife friend Dana Wilkey asking Kim if she's still sleeping with her ex-boyfriend. Leave it to Dana to make a situation totally uncomfortable.
Hotness: Yolanda Foster's daughter, Gigi. The girl definitely inherited her mother's genes and business savvy to create a job in modeling.
Fab-u-lous: Portia's birthday party. What a bash for a 4-year-old kid, over the top and amazing!
Can. Not. Wait.: Excited to see Lisa and Adrienne go out for drinks to work things out and Taylor being put in her place by Yolanda.
Celebuzz Meter (1-10): 8.5
Should Lisa take Kyle up on her offer? Is Adrienne wrong in demanding an apology from Lisa? Sound off below!

Love the colour & quality of this blush
I am really loving the quality of this brand. The colour was beautiful, definately a gold rose with a just a touch of sparkle (49 so don't like a ton of sparkle was fine for me). I actually quite enjoy the packaging on this product (the puff pot). I did not have any trouble getting product onto my cheeks from the puff, but it does come through more subtely, which I actually liked. Very convenient on the go (no brush required). I loved this so much I also purchased the pink pinch colour (which also comes in the puff pot). This colour is a beautiful bright pink no sparkle, brings a light pink flush to your cheeks.

Love it! Goes on nicely! Great colour!
I also dislike the packaging, but the product is great! I too use pink pinch and it is just the right amount of pink for rosy cheeks. Adds some colour to my complexion when I am looking a little too pale. Great colour for the fair skinned! Love the way it blends! Just wish they would have come up with better packaging – it's a pain in the neck.

Pink pinch is very pretty!
I was excited about the new Inika line, and picked up a lipstick, a blush brush, this blush and was able to receive the promo 'face in a box' at the same time. Overall I'm really impressed with the line, and look forward to trying more of the products. As for this blush, I have very fair skin, and find the pink pinch to provide just the right amount of color (a little pop of bright). The reason I'm giving it a 4 instead of 5 is the packaging. The puff that the products is meant to be dispensed through is tough to use (I feel like I'm not getting much through it), and the diameter of the container makes dipping a standard blush brush (and definitely not the brush that I bought from the same company!) really challenging – I feel like I get product all over my bathroom counter. If they got rid of the puff and made the package a little bit wider, it would easily be a 5! All the same, this is something I recommend, and am considering picking up a peach shade for spring.
