Really, I don't make this candy
As is always the way after a major candy holiday, the emails have started.
Most are complaints or specific comments about products:
I don't even know what that is!
I'm not a store, I'm not a factory. I'll do my best to help you, but please be specific. ("Can I still get the coconut creme eggs?" is not specific enough when that's the entire email.)
It's not just me, there's a good article at the Washington Post about the guy who owns donotreply.com.

Please Confirm
I don't know what sort of proof they want. Will they just take me at my word? Will I have to click something else later? How often will they check in with me.
If I check that, will facebook tell other people that I said that it was true?
This facebook world frightens and confused me [1].

Fundraising for NaNoWriMo
I've never actually talked much about the financing aspect of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I donate every year (even though I work for them, too), but I've never made an appeal on my blogs for others to donate.
For those of you not familiar with it, NaNoWriMo challenges ordinary mortals to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. No experience necessary! Tens of thousands of writers have not only participated since 1999 but dozens have also been published. The goal isn't necessarily to get a book out in front of the public, but to start by getting it out of your head. 2007 marks my seventh year participating and will be my seventh novel.
Why do I do it? It's a great writing exercise. I'm always surprised at what I can come up with when an absurd deadline is put in front of me. I enjoy the socializing on the forums (which I moderate) and I love the thrill of watching other writers find out what they had inside them. I've also met some of my best friends through the website. Yes, those crazy internet people ended up being really nice in person!
Here it is ... my appeal:
Please support me in my goal to raise $500 for National Novel Writing Month by November 17th ... that's the night of our first write-a-thon, called The Night of Writing Dangerously.
You can donate by going to my fundraising page at FirstGiving, which operates as an intermediary to track donations made in my name. The money goes towards the program which is not only the website for adults to tackle that novel they've always wanted to write but also the Young Writers Project which creates in-school programs for students to tackle free-writing as part of their curriculum.
For every $5 you donate via my FirstGiving page, I'll enter you in my Limited Edition Candy Drawing! Just leave a comment here and I'll hook it up with that drawing.

A tale of two laptops
Twenty years ago this month I bought my first computer. It was a Tandy, model 1420LT. It was a laptop. It cost $1,600. Which was a lot of money back in 1987. A lot for me ... considering that I lived on about $5,000 a year while in college.
It wasn't a great computer, but it served me well for five or six years. I ran a bootlegged copy of WordStar and wrote at least fifteen plays on it and my graduate thesis.
It was supposedly a laptop, but it rarely left my desk. It weighed 14.7 pounds.
Since that time I've had two other computers that I've purchased for myself. My desktop, which was a refurb from Dell, and then five years ago I bought my second laptop, they one I'm typing this on right now.
Today I bought a new laptop online at Dell. The model? 1420. Yes, twenty years later and I've stumbled onto the same model number as my first laptop.
The biggest thing I did when purchasing this computer was opt for some style. My laptop has become an accessory, and since it is often found on my lap, I thought it should look good. I opted for an upgrade and chose a colored case ... "Espresso Brown", which I'm hoping I can tell people is called "70% Cacao."
Where my first laptop had 640K of ram (and only a dual disk drive, no hard drive), this one has 2 gigs of ram. These sorts of advances don't make my writing any better, but it sure helps with the digital photos. And of course I'm not bootlegging my software any longer.
Oh, and the price this time ... $1,600 (give or take a few). The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Blue Whales in Santa Barbara
This was a fabulous trip for several reasons. We had lots of company (The Man's brother, nephew and his girlfriend from Florida plus two friends from LA joined us). And of course the weather cooperated and we got to see some whales!
First thing we saw were several small pods of Long Beaked Common Dolphins. What fun, they came along and swam with the boat for a while.
The morning was rather gray and I was hoping it would burn off quickly. It was certainly not as dim as the previous trip, but still, as we got out to the prime Blue Whale zone, visibility at times wasn't more than 500 yards.
We did come upon a pair of blue whales though and this time in addition to taking photos, I tried for a little video (mostly because I think that's the only way you can get the scale of these creatures).
Later Captain Mat excited threw on the boat brakes to have a look at this. It's a Basking Shark. The sharks themselves are probably rather common, but seeing them off of Santa Barbara and close to the surface like this is quite rare. The video isn't that impressive, really, the distance between the dorsal fin and the waggling tail fin is probably 6-8 feet, so the shark is probably only about 12-16 feet. (They can grow to be 30 feet.)
Most importantly we saw the blue whales so clearly, following along with the first pair for quite a while.
I was very, very tired when we were done, but of course I want to do it again. No new species to add to my list of cetaceans, but the basking shark was certainly special.

I've got an idea forming in my head
I haven't been working very hard on coming up with something for Script Frenzy. I know I don't usually work very hard at NaNoWriMo, but with plays I actually think A LOT about what it's going to be ahead of time.
At first I was going to do my tornado/miracle play. (Don't ask.) It's not really a work in progress, as I've never typed any of it up, just a few notes I wrote to myself on an airplane a few years ago in a notebook I don't think I have any longer.
This play is inspired by this article in the NY Times: Victim of Climate Change, a Town Seeks a Lifeline by William Yardley.
But that's just what inspired it. I have no idea what it's going to be about, I just thought there was a whole play right here:
I'm planning on setting the play in another village that was just mentioned in the article called Shishmaref because it's on the Chukchi sea, which is the summer ground of the Gray Whale. (See how all these things come together?)
I'm starting on Saturday!

Santa Barbara for Whale Watching
As tired as I've been from work the past few weeks, I still managed to get my butt up at 4:30 AM yesterday to get to Santa Barbara for an 8 AM cast off at Condor Express. The American Cetacean Society had their first full-day Humpback Whalewatching Trip of the year.
We tried something new, kind of geotagging the adventure. The photos aren't precisely located on this map, but I don't suppose anyone can argue with me since they're within about a half a mile or so. (Maybe ... I have no clue.) You can see my whole set of photos grouped by where they were shot.
Here's a brief chronlogy of our adventure.
4:30 AM - Wake, shower and make lunch.
I was fabulously tired and about five miles from shore we finally got some sun. But at least there wasn't much wind or waves. Good trip. Good trip. I want to do it again later this summer.
We got good looks at about 12 whales and saw about 18 total (if you count distant blows). I can tick two species off my list - Dall's Porpoise and Minke Whale (though I wouldn't mind getting a better view).
See all photos on Flickr in my set and of course check out The Man's.

Join the Frenzy
I'm planning on writing a play, start to finish next month.
This comes as no surprise to anyone, as I do this kind of stuff all the time.
But I'm asking you to join me.
Join ScriptFrenzy and write a screenplay or a stageplay in 30 days.
Just like with NaNoWriMo I'm heading up the forums and community building there. And just like with NaNoWriMo I'll be copiously documenting my wordcount and progress right here.

MySpace Bans Photobucket (but can I get them to ban me?)
I can't tell you what sort of bullshit this is, but I'm going to try:
MySpace has removed all hotlinked photos and slideshows (delivered in flash) hosted at Photobucket because they contain (sometimes) paid advertising. The advertising in question is a teaser campaign from Spiderman III. Here's a bit of the story from PCWorld:
Basically, only MySpace can junk up its pages with gratuitious advertising. MySpacers aren't allowed to advertise other things. Well, they're allowed to solicit sex and promote their albums and movies ... but they're not allowed to hotlink to other advertisements.
My issue is that MySpace has been letting its users abuse my site for years. Yes, I've contacted them. I've contacted them. I've emailed them. I've even talked to folks I've met socially that work there. They don't give a crap. It's my problem their users don't understand hotlinking is like making collect calls.
It turns out that it is possible to selectively block hotlinks from one domain. Halleluiah!
But now I discover that all I'd need to do is employ some .htaccess magic and have those thousands of hotlinked photos (yes, last month was 230,000 hotlink hits, the majority from MySpace according to the IP addresses logged) into some sort of ad that MySpace would feel threatened by. See, all this time I was thinking I had to put P()rn up there. Turns out that's not what would catch their attention. Ads for, I dunno, something owned by some other media conglomerate might work.
Only problem is I can't afford to host whatever image that might be (230,000 hits even at 10K each is kind of sizeable).
Wait a second ... I think I'm onto something here ...
I can sell the adspace! I can find someone who'd like their ad served up to 230,000 impressions in one month all over the web (though pretty much on MySpace).
The sale of that might cover the extra bandwidth I'd have to buy on my hosting plan.
So either I get my domain banned and don't have to worry about bandwidth drains in the future ... or I make money with the ad impressions!
Here's a bunch of articles:

Sperm Whales Run Deep
I have a Google News alert set up for Whale (and one for Dolphins, but I get a lot of sports news on that one).
Today's report featured news that there was a Sperm Whale that washed ashore in Santa Barbara.
Here's my favorite quote:
Yeah. So anyone else see anything wrong with the first sentence? It's not like there are a lot of different kinds of Sperm Whales out there, like dolphins.
I'd say the second sentence is kind of funny, too. Yes, it's very unusual to find whales up on the beach. Except, you know, when they beach themselves or wash ashore.

a friendly chat with verizon
The battery on my little LG phone has been behaving poorly, and since the phone and the replacement batteries are no longer made, I decided to get a new one. It's been three years since I signed up with Verizon, so I qualified for their "new every two" program. I picked out a new phone on their website. It was supposed to be $150 but they gave me a $100 credit plus an additional $50 instant rebate.
I put the phone into my cart and went to check out. The total was $0.00.
I confirmed my billing address as my shipping address, gave them a phone number (it's a fedex delivery) and hit purchase.
Then I got another screen that wanted a credit card. It said that I owed $0.00, but still wanted my credit card. Say what?
And why my credit card anyway, I've been paying my bill for three years ... we have a business relationship, they can send me a bill and all that.
I was frustrated. I didn't want to somehow be charged for something else, and I don't like putting my credit card into websites for things like "guaranteeing a reservation" or "trial offers."
So I clicked on the little icon to talk to a Verizon Sales Rep.
Here's my little ditty (this is the actual transcript I cut and pasted ... all names are real, or at least the ones really assigned within the chat window).
Chat InformationPlease wait for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience!
At the end of the chat, sure enough, a little feedback window popped up. I gave them my comments as Alexander suggested:
So, I get to the end of this tale to say that yes, California does charge sales tax for the RETAIL VALUE of the phone. They say that this phone sells for $288.99 (yeah, right, I wouldn't pay that much for it!).
I ended up owing some $23.92 bucks in tax. Whatever. The point is, why couldn't they calculate that BEFORE I had to input my credit card, and why didn't they mention that's why they were asking for a credit card on a null total on the ACTUAL PAGE.

Go Away Hotlinkers!
So I'm looking at my server stats this month (I'm close to my bandwidth max again). There are a few big bandwidth hogs on my site, one of the startling ones is search engine bots. At least three of them rack up over 1 gig in bandwidth every month. About 7 gigs total among them.
Another sobering thing in my stats are the number of hotlinks to Candy Blog. For March so far the tally is over 370,000 hotlink hits to typetive.com. Yeah, my site is popular, but I DO NOT have 370,000 visitors per month.
I do have an htaccess file that limits hotlinking, so the images don't show up elsewhere (except for a few permitted sites like bloglines). But I know where my images are going ... they're going to myspace and forum posts and other blogs.
I know how they get here too, they come via the Google Image Search. I tried a few different ways to foil this but still get the new traffic, but to no avail. Not only is it an issue of hotlinking, but the photos I've taken of candy are ending up in all sorts of places. It's one thing to put a candy photo in your blog post on your site that gets a couple hundred hits a day. It's another entirely to be an Amazon store or eBay auctioneer and take my photos to sell candy I'm not here for other people to make a profit. I'm not really interested in junking up my pretty photos with watermarks.
So, I've now forbidden Google Image Search. It took a while to get it going. I put in the appropriate info in my robots.txt file, but for three weeks I still saw the traffic (about 15-20% of those people who come to typetive.com come for the images). So yesterday I put in a prompt with Google to remove my site from the image search. As of this morning my site traffic is down by 15% and I haven't noticed any referrers from Google Image Search.
I know it's going to be a blow to my traffic. But I'm more interested in readers than traffic. I hope my readers feel the same way. I hope my advertisers feel the same way.

Never Enough Time
People say a lot of things about me. I write a blog and people talk about it sometimes on forums and chats and even other blogs. The say I have too much time on my hands.
It's not like they say that just about the whole candy blogging thing. I see it in reference to many of the participants who write novels in November.
I see the same thing bandied about when people take on quirky challenges, like walking the full length of a street, like Sunset Blvd. or when they create new and wondrous expressions of art.
"That person looks like they have too much time on their hands!" They chortle, as if it's an insult.
Of course I don't have too much time on my hands. I have a full time job. And a couple of part time jobs. And volunteer gigs. And blogs. I still manage to watch the FDA recommended doses of television. I travel. I have friends. I brush my teeth and manage my personal hygiene. In fact, I have a huge list of things I want to do!
I don't know if this statement of other people "having too much time on their hands" is somehow supposed to make that person feel better about their lack of productivity or to make us sit down and stop being active and provocative. Yes, some of the stuff I create with my productiveness is useless and probably even counterproductive. But I'm exploring my world. I'm living in it. I'm not sitting around commenting on the worthiness of other people's pursuits. (Unless their pursuit happens to be going around declaring how much time on ones hands is too much.)

Evil Evil Scrapers
I just thought I'd share my latest experience with Candy Blog content being "stolen."
I found, purely by accident, that Candy Blog posts were being republished in their entirety on another blog called simply "World Food" (I'm not going to give you the URL). My posts were in there among other food blogger posts about things like fruit, recipes and personal food experiences. I counted three other victims of this scraper blog.
The amalgam blog had no contact info, no advertising, no real purpose as far as I could tell, expect perhaps to buoy the entire domain in some way with content that search engine bots would find.
I did a domain search and located the owner of the domain and sent an email. Surprise, it bounced.
So I did a search for who hosted the domain and sent an email to the host at the "abuse" email address listed on the lame-ass site. That bounced. So I sent another set of emails to all the other email addresses listed on the site (sales! support! tech! help!). No response, but at least no bounces.
I also contacted Feedburner, who burns the Candy Blog feed with their service (basically they take my single feed and convert it to just about all the common feed formats). They said they were unable to discretely block a single user even if we knew what IP they were from.
After no response I started doing some more digging and came across the excellent blog resource called PlagiarismToday.com. Jonathan just so happened to be writing about Feedburner feeds.
With some more digging and some assistance from him we tracked down the actual host (the host I contacted was actually a reseller of hosting plans) and I sent out some more emails. No response so with Jonathan's help I also sent out official DMCA notices to the host via email and fax.
Lo and behold a few days later I got a brief email back from the host saying that they removed the domain from their servers.
I know some people say that I should be flattered that people are taking my content. But I don't think I should be flattered. They're not taking it becuase it's good or they like it, they're taking it because it fills up their site with content with lots of keywords that people search for. There are lots of sites that republish digests of my feed and I have no problem with that. But when they take the whole thing (including photos) with no link back to the site, claim they wrote it and are republishing it under a CC free-for-all license, I have a problem.
Now if I could just solve my hotlinking problem.

We continue to track a large winter storm barreling into the region. The snow has already started falling in some parts of the area. Our Katie Husband joined us from the Corning newsroom with more.
CORNING, N.Y. -- If you look out the window in the Twin Tiers, you will see a winter wonderland. And the white snow will be seen statewide pretty soon.
The snow started to fall in Corning just after 2 p.m. Wednesday when the Winter Storm Warning went into effect for the area. It started out as flurries, but it didn't take long for it to start snowing heavily.
Our reporter went out earlier and as you can see it was a steady but heavy snowfall on Pultney Street in Corning. The roads are already covered with about an inch of snow. But road crews are out and about. Our reporter saw two trucks earlier sanding and salting the roadways.
Traffic was moving cautiously slow, which is reassuring, especially when the snow sticks this quick to the roads.
Visibility is decreasing and, of course, will continue to go down as it gets darker.
It's been a while since we've seen a large storm like this, so remember to take proper precautions. You want to make sure to drive slow if you're driving through the area.

Your baby is about to turn one in the middle of these cold, wintry days! Never fear, there are some darling themes you can choose from that match the season perfectly. One of them is the quintessential snowman. If you live in a snowy area this may particularly appeal to you, especially the story of Frosty the Snowman, who, when he comes to life, exclaims each time, "Happy Birthday!"
Send a snowman invitation. This can be very simple to put together using white construction paper, and decorating with the traditional black coal eyes, buttons for the body, corn cob pipe, a carrot for the nose. You can use different colors of papers/markers for the invitation, or actually use buttons for the body and eyes, cotton balls for the body, etc. On the reverse side, list out the party details.
Dress up your birthday kid in a snowman outfit.
Snowflakes and snowman all over the party room would be a lot of fun for the decorations. If you have snow outdoors, build a real snowman to welcome your guests.
You can choose just about any colors to match this theme. It would be a good idea to have pearly white as one of the colors to give the feel of snow. You could blow up a sea of pearly white balloons that the guests make their way through after they arrive, much like trudging through the snow. Also, older kids will have fun playing with all of the balloons.
If older kids are attending:
Have them make their own snowman using construction paper, markers, crayons, etc. The kids could also cut out and decorate snowflakes as another craft idea.
As a tasty activity, have the kids decorate an ice cream snowman. Scoop out three scoops of vanilla ice cream. Have the kids decorate their snowmen with M&Ms for the nose and chocolate chips for the buttons and the eyes, long pieces of black licorice could be used for the top hat.
Read the book "Frosty the Snowman" or watch the video.
Play Pin the Top Hat on Frosty the Snowman.
Play "Melting Snowball" like Hot Potato…wrap a package in white tissue paper.
Have an Inside Snowball Fight. Divide the kids into two teams and have them hide behind a "snow fort," a large cardboard box. Give each team a bucket of snowballs, i.e. ping pong balls, and they must throw them through the other teams fort. If the ball hits the ground before making it inside the fort, it does not count. The team with the most balls inside the other team's fort, wins.
If there is snow on the ground, and you want to go "all out" recruit some adults and take the kids outdoors to make your own Snowman.
For the Menu:
Powdered Donuts, carrot noses with snowman dip (ranch dressing), Snowman Face Crackers (using cream cheese and olives for the faces), sandwiches cut into different circle shapes and placed together in a snowman shape, Hostess White Snowballs, Rice Krispie Treat Snow Balls, Hot Chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, and top it off with Betty Crocker's darling Snowman Cake (picture from Bettycrocker.com).
For the first birthday party, a little favor that would be fun is to make your own picture snow globes with a picture of your big one year old kid! Older kids may enjoy a snowman soap, stickers, coloring book, snowman bath toys, etc.

I don't want to sound like a damp squib or a wet blanket, but these days many people talk about "new technology" for the coming years. What I would like to know is what is so great in its "newness"?
Call phones or mobiles when they first hit the market were revolutionary in what it did to communications. But the technology itself wasn't that "new", or was it? Given that we had the telephone for many decades before that, given that we had the concept of talking over long distances, and when that was first realized and developed- that was really a new technology based on a new and revolutionary concept! Haven't we just added, developed, advanced, enhanced that same technology? Not being a very "technical telecommunications person" yes granted I would not know the finer points to this concept, but as a lay person, it does strike me as odd to call any new enhancement as "new technology"!
One of the Google+ headlines reads – Technology of 2012-2040- What can we Expect? – You'll be amazed Brian Krassenstein makes a very interesting statement, "Instead the progress over the coming ten years will be exponentially more than the last ten years. With the current growth trends, Google+ also will see tremendous growth if they continue to innovate." He talks about "the progress" based on innovation. And yes I agree here that all advancements so far made have their advantages and disadvantages, but progress has been made (though I wonder at the cost of what?).
Telecommunication has certainly changed life for the better and at times even the worst! Better in terms of the speed of response and reaction. Worst, when it seems to intrude into one's space, often with great rudeness. But one thing is sure in the coming years – life will be very very Digital. Our parents generation may find it difficult, as they do so with very hesitancy. If you are aged and have shaky fingers, I dread to think how the aged manage to work the ATMs to withdraw money- given the time limit you are allowed to punch in keys and passwords!
However, given the vast usage of cell phones/mobiles, and the upward surge in what is touted as Smartphones/Smart devices, advancement and enhancements in this area will be astronomical. The Customer is King, and the Demand is soon surpassing Supply!
For the coming years, what I do wish for is that we may progress, but with consideration to all sections of the population.
As I kid I used to love to watch the Star Trek series, and if you watch a few, they were already meeting new species in 2012. But so far, we only seem to have killed off several species on our own planet Earth, and have yet, "to travel where no man has gone before". Granted we have made a few baby steps onto our neighboring planets, but not what they had predicted through the series. Unless of course, the "you-know-whos" have decided to be secretive about their ventures, and kept such secrets hidden from us. A few have predicted the coming technologies for the future (mind you, I do not say, of the future).
Everything Technology
Sanjay Bojan in his blog, New Technology 2012 – Most Anticipated This year
We, however, need to keep in mind the changing meaning of the word "technology" itself and its applications in various fields. Biotech, biochem, are streams of knowledge that are opening new vistas, but I hope there are people who are also documenting the "history of these changing movements", as has been documented by those who have documented the changing technology of our ancestors, who study how humans have changed the landscape ever since they became bipeds and started use tools.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Max!
Facts about Max
- Breed: Pug
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Max's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Max is a two year old neutered, male fawn pug who was abandoned with his sister Lucky, when their owner went out of town. He is wonderful, sweet, housebroken, healthy, loves all dogs, cats and kids. He MUST be adopted with his sister Lucky.
Other Pets at Pugs N Roses - Orange County
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Max, a Anaheim Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug for sale in Anaheim, or seeking a Pug dog from a breeder in Anaheim.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Anaheim already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Anaheim breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pug breeders who help with Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Anaheim paves the way for another one to be saved.

An XML schema controls the data structure and data types of XML files attached to it. It specifies the sequence, names, and allowed content of data elements — kinds of information such as those shown in the illustration. When you use a schema, you have to enter data according to the kinds and organization of data that the schema uses. So, the schema standardizes how the data is collected and used. If data is collected in the same way across an organization, it can be shared, even if one department uses invoices and another uses inventories.
When you base a form on a schema, elements in the schema, such as customer ID, customer name, and address, translate into controls on the form: labels, text boxes, and such. The form controls follow the structure of the schema elements, and the data that can be entered into the form follows the types and organization of the schema. So the schema validates data as it's entered into the form, preventing errors.
Using an existing schema also helps you create a form quickly, because the schema provides the data types you can choose from, and it has a defined structure that you must work within.
Note Every form in InfoPath is based on a schema. If you don't base the form on an existing schema, but instead create a form from scratch, InfoPath builds a schema from the form as you add controls. Of course, that isn't a schema that anyone else is using already.
Important If the XML schema that you have based a form on changes later, can you update the form? This article addresses the issue:

passion and the urge for expression and exploration are essential
human qualities that inspire science, the arts, and the humanities,
and thus constitute a common bond among them. WISL helps people
explore, discuss, and cultivate the intellectual and emotional
links between science, the arts, and the humanities. People
can value, appreciate, and enjoy science without a deep understanding
of specific details, just as they can appreciate music without
a specialized knowledge of music theory, or appreciate literature,
the theater, and the visual arts without being experts in those
fields. Programs of the Initiative focus on the relationships,
similarities, and differences in inquiry, creativity, and personal
expression among scientists, artists, and humanists. A specific
goal is to give musicians, artists, writers, and performers
– present and future – an appreciation of science and enable
them to see and understand the connections between science and
the arts.

A Silent Film's debut album, 'The City That Sleeps', has been a long time coming. Originally announced back in the spring, it has been preceded by three download singles, and it is only now as we move towards winter that it has finally seen release.The band's label, Xtra Mile, obviously have very high expectations for A Silent Film, having drip fed them to the public over the course of the summer with the three singles and various support and festival slots before putting out the grand prize of the album.A Silent Film are undoubtedly a great singles band. The Oxfordian four piece's second single, 'You Will Leave A Mark', won the band a deserved number one in The Sunday Times Culture's Magazine's 'The Hottest Downloads'. Their anthemic piano-led music, like that of Coldplay, is as catchy and accessible as it is melodic. Vocalist Robert Stevenson meanwhile comes from the thoughtful school of song writing. His lyrics have a young man's earnestness and cover everything from love and loss to racial divisions and the futility of war.Yet for all its promise 'The City That Sleeps' is something of a disappointment. Over eleven tracks, with very little change in the routine, the cascading pianos and spiralling melodies all soon become too much of a good thing. Stevenson's lyrics, worthy as they are, also start to grate with both preciousness and preachiness.This is not to say that 'The City That Sleeps' is a bad album. Individually it is made up of some very fine components. Both love song 'Lamplight', a reworking of a song from the group's first EP 'The Projectionist' from 2006 , and the self-loathing 'You Will Leave A Mark' are particularly sublime-sounding examples of grand scale pop writing with their soaring harmonies and tunes. Over the course of a whole long player, however, A Silent Film very quickly wilt into monotony.

I've been building web sites and web apps roughly since 2003. In late 2003 I started a Web Development & Web Hosting company, that was sold in 2009 to a company of which I became CEO and Project Manager — Wozia.
My interest in GNU/Linux grew stronger and I ended up replacing my main OS (Windows XP) with Ubuntu in 2005. I helped the Ubuntu community in the forums and IRC, translating, submitting bugs, ideas, etc. I got a great knowledge out of compiling kernel modules and packages, just to get Wi-Fi, a graphics card, or bluetooth working, for example. This experience was one of the most valuable in my life.
Having had clients early on from all over the world, like France, Spain, Chile, Canada, England, and the US was also incredibly valuable and provided me with a lot of experience.
The Web Hosting part of Wozia was sold in 2011 and the focus of the company became bespoke Web Development, together with providing SaaS (Software as a Service). In 2012, emotionLoop was created as a way of separating bespoke Web Development from the things we did for the community, including plugins and SaaS (and some side projects — some already terminated).
Having total creative control of a product was empowering. It was great to try and learn new things, without risking much.
I'm Driving app for Android was an app I did for Android mainly to try out Android's SDK, and to see if I still remembered Java well enough. It was enlightening and I got to work with some fun APIs. I also got to understand Android's quirks a bit more. It's incredibly hard to maintain an app for Android "without profit", so I open sourced it. I believe I'll have time to get back to it and improve it, later on, but it's definitely not a priority.
Whoever knows me, knows I love a lot of things about 37Signals and that they've highly influenced my life, and not only professionally. This is also true for some Zen approaches to life, that I've applied to work as well.
Scratching my own itch, I developed SiteLog. It's a very nice product that has helped a few people solve a simple problem — knowing if their site is up or not —, without going through much trouble.
One of the products I'm most proud of creating, though, is visualCaptcha.
One day I got really annoyed at a reCaptcha that was insisting in throwing me unwritable words and I thought "there has to be a better way of doing this". I started a search for captchas and eventually found Fancy Captcha. Sadly, shortly after looking through its code, I realized it was very easy for a bot to override it.
I set out to create a sensible, visually appealing, non-frustrating captcha alternative. One that everyone could benefit of. Security and ease-of-use were the priorities. Long story short, I came up with visualCaptcha.
The next big challenge was accessibility. It had the same problem on every captcha, it increased difficulty and frustration in its users, by being very hard to understand the letters pronounced. The solution had to be easy to understand, while hard for any bots to use it as an "easy access" to override the captcha's security. I ended up joining another form of captcha (easy questions for a human to understand, that are hard for most bots to analyze), having the words clearly pronounced.
Summarizing, I'm very proud of the research and solutions I came up with for visualCaptcha. It's not complex in programming or anything, but I really like what it solves and how it solves it.
It's also open source.
When I started wanting to learn how to code for the Web, I ended up choosing PHP because it was easier and more similar to C (which was what I knew better back then).
I didn't lose sight on Python, though. I liked it a lot, but PHP made me do things faster.
In 2010, while looking for a nice framework for a complex project (an ecommerce/crm/support infrastructure), I got tempted by Django, but the circumstances again required something quick to be done. I ended up creating a lightweight PHP framework for the project that was used in a few other projects.
Then, in 2012, I wanted to give Django a chance. I was reading a few things about Python and just couldn't let it pass again. I built a Project Manager in Django (Unity), and I loved doing it. I got to work with many different aspects of Django and Python, and it was great to do so. I built a couple more projects with Django, but for "quick and dirty" things, I tend to prefer PHP. For more complex/structured things, though, I favor Django, if I'm allowed to choose.
I always want to learn more. More things. More about the same things. Things from other areas I know nothing about.
This broad knowledge pursuit has provided me with a few epiphanies, that sometimes lead to other epiphanies. I love the feeling you get when something "clicks" and connects other things in a line of cohesion, coherence and understanding.
Amongst many things, what I've been learning more about recently is UX/HI (User Experience and Human Interfaces) and Design. From a few books to a few articles to a few authors, it's been an enlightening path.
I also learned, in that same path, that the more broad knowledge you have (different areas), the more you can bring to a given area. A great example (and quote) is found in an interview with Oliver Reichenstein, by The Verge, where living in Japan and learning about a different culture transformed his vision about Typography.
I'm really passionate about learning more in Design and UX/HI, specially when it comes to presenting information in a way we, as humans, instinctively understand it. It's really connected to an area I know very little about, that I also want to improve in the future, Cognitive Science.
This is really related to what I said above, but in the area of learning more about what you know, and specially in the Web Development area — where everything moves in a lightning-fast pace —, it's important to be aware of the latest tools, trends, and methodologies, and understand them.
Note I'm not talking about being a pro on (or even learning) all of them, but understanding what they're good for, their pros and cons, and knowing when to choose them.
2012, specially, has been a great year for new tools to mature and appear. CoffeeScript, Backbone.js, LESS/SCSS, Responsive Design, among others, have grown so much. It's really exciting to be a part of the web at this time.
Since I started in CleverTech, I've been able to learn more about Node.js, AngularJS, and PostgreSQL, which is being extremely fulfilling. The business and operating knowledge I'm also now getting is being extremely valuable.
I've worked in a few offices, all with great environments and perks, but I definitely prefer the advantages of working remotely, from home. Tools like Skype, Campfire, HipChat, and Google Hangouts have made it possible to have a few of the "office" pros, without having some of its cons. I love how productive and happy I am with working from home.
I've never thought about writing a book. I had some ideas for Sci-fi books and I was good at writing poems/verses, but it was never something I aspired to do. However, in August 2012, I was invited by a great and well-known publisher to write a book about JavaScript for experts. I ended up choosing to write about jQuery Plugin Development for Pros. There weren't many great books available that I knew about, and it was something I felt there was a need to exist.
I accepted writing the book merely because it was a new challenge I had never faced. I like those kinds of challenges. I was really excited about it.
Sadly, when the book was near completion, the publisher backed out and didn't want to publish what I had written. It wasn't "book material", but rather "web material", in their opinion. It had too much "code" and little "text".
I ended up deciding to publish the book in eBook format on my own, because of the feedback I had gotten from a few excerpts I had shown some developers, and because I believed in what I had written.
I wrote an article about the whole experience, that you can read here.
Programming (in general, and specific experience with a lot of PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, jQuery, CoffeeScript, Node.js, AngularJS, LESS, SASS), Responsive Design, Mobile-first design approach, Project Management, Business Operations, HTML(5), CSS(3), Nginx, Apache, Linux SysAdmin, Memcached, Redis, Git.
Django/Python, Backbone.js, UX/UI, AWS, Solr, Starcraft, Jedi Knight, Counter-Strike, Nuclear Dawn.
Human Interfaces, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, Design, Meteor, Laravel, Quantum Physics, Advanced Mathematics.
I'm a full-time COO (and Responsible for Customer Satisfaction) at CleverTech, and have a few interesting free/open source projects going on at emotionLoop.

Post-Master's Certificate in Palliative Care
The School of Nursing Post-Master's Certificate in palliative care prepares nurses to transform our health care system so that it is more responsive to the needs of older adults with chronic illness and their families. These individuals are not well-served by our health care system, which is designed for episodal, rather than supportive, care for individuals who will live many years with their disease(s). The Palliative Care option will train nurses to become specialists and leaders in disease modifying care, pain and symptom management, attention to highest quality of life possible, and compassionate end-of-life care.
This path can be completed in just three semesters. The versatile distance-based format allows professional nurses to advance their education while working full-time, but also provides students with a rigorous curriculum and access to the resources and experts at GW. Simultaneous clinical experiences during the third and fourth courses will provide some, or all of the clinical experience required to be eligible for taking the National Board for Certification of Hospice and Palliative Nurse's credentialing exam as a Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner.
Specialty in Palliative and End-of-Life Care
The specialty in Palliative and End-of-Life Care is a scholarly option to prepare nurses or other health care professionals with a didactic background in palliative care. Upon completion of 11 credits of online core courses and an elective course, students will receive a document designating a specialty in Palliative and End-of-Life Care.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Rosa!
Facts about Rosa
- Breed: Dachshund Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Rosa's Info...
Miss Rosa was found at a local mexican restaurant. She is a little shy at first but once she warms up she is a very loyal, sweet dog. She wants to be with someone all of the time, or at least in the same room with them. She is waiting for her forever home!
Act quickly to adopt Rosa. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Simpson County Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rosa, a Franklin Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Franklin, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in Franklin.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Franklin already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Franklin breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Franklin paves the way for another one to be saved.

Downtown Santa Rosa, West Santa Rosa and East Santa Rosa are the three main neighborhoods in the city, each with their own specific lifestyle and personality.
From 2000 to 2010, the population jumped by nearly 14 percent in Santa Rosa apartments and homes. The rising median household income, which increased by more than $8,000 per year from 2000 to 2009, growing business model and youthful population all contributed to its rise. Like any other community near the Bay Area, the cost of living in Santa Rosa is higher compared to the rest of the country, but with the rising income levels in the area, you should have no problem affording a Santa Rosa apartment for rent. In fact, the median rental rate in the area is 5 percent lower than the state's average, according to AreaVibes. The cost of a gallon of gas in Santa Rosa is around $3.82, which is comparable to the rest of the state. However, the average commute time is 13 percent lower, so you should be able to save on fuel once you move into apartments in Santa Rosa.
There are several institutions in the area, including Santa Rosa Junior College, Empire College School of Business and Pacific Union College, making Santa Rosa apartments ideal for students. Prominent universities in the area include Sonoma State University and the University of San Francisco, Santa Rosa. Due to its close proximity to wine country and stunning scenery there is a heavy tourism industry here. However, there are also growing trends in construction, healthcare and professional, scientific and technical services. According to the Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce, the top employers in the area are Kaiser Permanente, the St. Joseph Health System, Agilent Technologies and Medtronic, so healthcare and technology are clearly two of the major driving factors for employment in the area.

a four-man band from Chicago, makes a clattery, distorted racket
on its fourth album, "Undone" (Sick Room). Cheap organ and synthesizer,
clanking percussion, clobbered drums and cranked-up bass work up stop-start
patterns that sound like progressive rock locked in a dank boiler room....
Every so often, someone howls a line like "What are we waiting for?"
amid the din, or the music switches to a sardonic oom-pah. All the
lurching and buzzing is invigorating and hilarious, unless you're prone
to motion sickness."

Before your annual exam, do you take the time to think about any questions or sexual health concerns you may have? Or do you rely on your health care provider to steer the conversation? While your health care provider will ask important questions during your exam, it's important for you to come to the visit prepared to discuss items that will affect your personal health. Consider your time with your provider as an interactive, non-judgmental conversation, not just a physical examination. Here are some of the most frequent questions many women have when they think about their sexual health:
1.Are my periods normal?
If you're having irregular periods or experiencing severe discomfort or heavy bleeding, you need to tell your health care provider. Your doctor can work with you to determine what is causing this irregularity. If severe cramping or heavy bleeding is occurring, your doctor may suggest appropriate measures to help regulate your cycle.
2.Should I be on birth control?
Over half (55%) of the nearly three million unplanned pregnancies that occur each year in the U.S. happen to women in their twenties. And one million of those occur to women in their early twenties. If you are sexually active and do not want to have a baby, make sure you discuss birth control with your provider. While condoms and spermicides are generally effective with proper use, prescription hormonal methods of birth control have a higher rate of effective protection against pregnancy.
3.Why do I get yeast infections and/or urinary tract infections (UTIs) so frequently?
This type of infection is actually quite common for women. Your provider can work with you to find solutions. Some women get UTIs with greater frequency, but there are some common contributing factors that may increase your susceptibility to infection, such as having diabetes or a suppressed immune system. Even rough sex can distribute the bacteria in the vaginal region, posing an increased risk for UTIs. If you think you may be at an increased risk for UTIs, be sure to talk to your gynecologist about what treatment options are available.
4. My mother/sister/grandmother had breast cancer. Should I be concerned?
Only five to ten percent of breast cancer is hereditary; your health care provider may want to investigate further to better understand your risk. Other risk factors that may increase the risk of breast cancer include being younger when you first had your menstrual period, starting menopause at a later age, or being older at the birth of your first child. Whether it's cancer or other diseases, it's important to offer your health care provider a detailed personal and genetic health history, information you may need to proactively obtain from immediate family members. With this information in hand, your provider can conduct regular screenings to catch conditions at early stages and discuss available treatment options with you.

Many accidents have occured in Georgia because of talking or texting on the phone while driving.

If you have been hurt in a car accident because another driving was texting while driving, or was distracted in some other way, then you may have a potential personal injury case.

Matching Tan & Ivory Ties
Wearing a tie in off-white such as ivory or tan will instantly add a formal touch to any suit. It is not surprising that the color selection above is the most popular choice for weddings. Ties in ivory and tan look excellent with suits in gray, charcoal, black, brown, and navy. For a more formal look the tan colored tie looks best when paired with a classic white shirt, black or charcoal suit, and a matching tan colored pocket square. For a more casual appearance we suggest paired the tan colored tie with a light blue shirt and a suit in tan or navy.

Wakito Madalu
Ethiopia has more than 1.1 million coffee farmers (smallholders) representing 95% of the production. The varieties are referred to collectively as Ethiopian Heirloom, which is a myriad of local native Typica hybrids and new improved varietals based on the old strains. The two main growing areas are in the west and south. Most coffees are organic by default.
This coffee is a result of a sustainable Technoserve project in the west based on transparency and increased quality production. Technoserve is a NGO supporting the farmers in setting up washing stations and new cooperative structures. This project has revealed a new great range of coffee flavors not found elsewhere. Technoserve's coffee initiative is a project measuring their success in the value and quality of the coffees produced and the farmers increase in their coffee income. All cooperative members qualify for second payment. This has so far contributed to a significant increase in payment for the local coffee farmers.
The west represents about 46% of Ethiopia's total production. It includes regions like Jimma, Kaffa, Limu, Illubabor, Wellega, Bench Maji and others. In the west you find three major types of farming: at higher altitudes you find either forest coffees, which are grown "wild," or semi-forest coffees grown in smallholder blocks. Both types come from ancient trees, rarely pruned, and organic fertilizer is common in smallholder blocks. At lower altitudes you find more recently and densely planted varieties and larger farms.
For more information on Ethiopia and Technoserve, see our earlier post here
Cooperative: Wakito Madalu
Zone, Woreda/Local municipality: Jimma, Tije
Altitude: Coffee grown from 1950 – 2100 meters
Producers: About 470 smallholder members deliver cherry to the wet mill. Membership is optional. Non members don't qualify for second payment.
Varietals: Ethiopian Heirloom, "Native Jimma Type". Semi-forest and wild forest farming.
Grade: Screen 15 and up.
Production: Pulped and mechanically demucilaged, soaked in water and sundried.
Process: Cherries are hand sorted for unripes and overripes by the farmers before they go in to production. A Penagos Eco Pulper removes the skin, pulp and mucilage. It is then soaked in clean water in fiber glass tanks for about 10 hours.
Drying: Skin dried and sorted for 4-6 hours after soaking. Sun dried about 10 days on African drying beds on hessian cloths. Coffees are covered in plastic or shade nets during midday and at night.
Soil: Recent volcanic deposits.
Notes: Wakito Madalu was established in 2011. Total production in 2011 was about 600 bags. They use trace ability sheets to track coffees from days of production at drying tables to the warehouse
Cupping notes: Complex citrus, some rosehip and floral notes in aroma. Red fruit flavors, sweet rhubarb and rosehip. Medium intensity but great structure and balance. Soft and elegant, transparent and juicy in finish.

EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire forensics team traveled to Dekalb, Ill., to compete at the Mid-American Forensics League Tournaments held at the Northern Illinois University campus.
Five students attended the tournament and brought a total of 16 events. On Saturday, Oct. 2, the team advanced 11 of their 16 events to the final round, and on Sunday advanced 15 events to the final round.
As a result of the tremendous success of the past two weekends, many of the team's events have qualified for Nationals, said Karen Morris, director of forensics. "Because of this early qualification, the team is taking this weekend off to prepare more events."
On Saturday, the team competed at MAFL #1 hosted by NIU and placed second overall.
Individual results for the tournament are as follows:
Senior Chris Conklin, Green Bay, placed first in extemporaneous and impromptu speaking and fifth in informative speaking.

On Sunday, the forensics team competed at MAFL #2 hosted by North Central College and again placed second overall.
Individual results for the tournament are as follows:
Conklin placed first in impromptu and extemporaneous speaking, qualifying both events for the American Forensics Association nationals. He also placed second in informative speaking and fifth in prose interpretation.
Schroeder placed first in persuasive speaking, qualifying that event for AFA, and fourth in after-dinner speaking. She also placed sixth in extemporaneous speaking, qualifying that event for the National Forensics Association tournament.
Zani placed first in informative speaking, which qualifies that event for AFA, and fourth in communication analysis. Zani and Bevernitz placed second in duo interpretation, qualifying that event for AFA. Bevernitz placed third in prose interpretation and qualified his dramatic interpretation event for AFA by placing fifth.

It's time for another MFTWSC sketch. We have a nice and simple sketch for you this week. I thought it would be perfect for the new Pretty Poppies stamp set. Yes, I am having troubles putting this set down.
I randomly stamped the poppies on a piece of Smooth White card stock using Electric Red Premium Dye Ink. I added some black to the centers of the poppies using a black Copic marker. The Pretty Poppies stamp set includes a gorgeous script background stamp, I used it and Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink to stamp the background.
I used the Mini Doily Circles and the Circle STAX 1 Die-namics for the sentiment on the front of the card. On the inside I used the Dizzy Doily Die-namics and the Circle STAX 1 Die-namics.
In addition to the Smooth White card stock I used Electric Red and Black Licorice.
To play along with us this week all you need to do is follow the sketch, upload your creation to SCS using the keyword MFTWSC116. Join us this week in the MFT forum for lots of chatter and fun! Be sure to check out Kim's Blog, she will have a full list of all the designers participating in today's challenge!
