Tag, you're it, said Howard at The Smedley Log
Howard at The Smedley Log tagged me with this book meme. It's good to be a little introspective once in a while. Here are my answers.
1) How many books to I own?
I own more than 1,000 books. One summer I went on a tear and bought over 250 books. I have big blocks of books on certain topics: business management, science, travel writing, fiction, world travel, language study (I'm pretty decent in French, Dutch, and German. I also can read quite a bit in Spanish and Italian...the sum effect of studying Latin for all those years in Catholic school.), journalism, and poetry.
2) Last book I bought?
The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman. People who are complaining about their jobs being outsourced had better wake up. This book, the follow up to The Lexus and the Olive Tree, says the world is already really small. And complaining won't work. Those who say internationalism is impossible are being passed by those already doing it.
3) Last book that I read?
I just finished A Brief History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. I actually read it twice because there were so many statistics in there and I wanted to commit many of those to memory. Bryson is one of my favorite authors, and his book A Walk in the Woods was one of the funniest books I ever read. People don't tend to laugh out loud when others are not around because laughing is a social response - LOL notwithstanding in IM chats - but that book had me rolling on the floor.
4) Five books that have meant a lot to me?
Thriving on Chaos by Tom Peters. This book broke the mold on how to write a management book. Peters was at his zenith at the time this was written, and his ideas were truly revolutionary (and practical). I used a lot of the ideas in this book in my work life.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. This book was Covey's PhD thesis that synthesized his research about American leaders. And it made sense. Covey brought back storytelling as a way to teach and train American workers.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. "Be in the scene" is a phrase that stays with me still. This book is one I read every few years, and I'm still surprised by my reaction to it and astonished and chilled by the ending. Zen is a true story and a good one about life trajectories.
The Weight of Water by Anita Shreve made me gasp the first time I read it. Shreve is a talented writer and this one, in my opinion, is her best.
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. I probably read this book more times than any other one in my life. (I was just mentioning that it's funny how I'll watch my favorite movies dozens of times - The Big Chill, for instance - but tend to read books only once.) I got hooked on science fiction back in the 1960s, when the genre held real promise. (I've since not read much sci-fi...too much time with HiFi, stir fry, and WiFi.)
5) Tag five people who havent played.
I'll have to think this one through. Sheryl reads the most of anyone I know, so she'll be on the list. Bill has some varied interests and I think will play along. I'm going to tag Sarah and Mark because they will have some interesting perspectives. And I'll ask The Tuna. I'll post their answers here if they play along.

The Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters that the 2014 muzzleloader deer season opens across the state Friday, Dec. 5.
"Having a statewide opener for muzzleloading season really eases confusion hunters have on when and where this season starts," said DNR deer biologist Ashley Autenrieth.
Zones 1 and 2 will remain open until Dec. 14. Zone 3 has seven more days of muzzleloader hunting, with the season ending Dec. 21. For hunting zone information, see the 2014 Hunting and Trapping Digest or visit Michigan.gov/hunting.
Hunters must have a base license and either a deer license or deer combo license to take an antlered deer... more on Michigan's deer season for muzzleloaders ...
Fairfax, Virginia - Friends of NRA banquets have brought Second Amendment supporters together for more than 20 years now under one goal: ensuring the future of America's shooting sports.
With more than 1,000 banquets being held annually by dedicated volunteers like you, the funds raised at Friends of NRA banquets make a real difference. Half of all money raised at a banquet goes right back into grants for local shooting sports programs and the other half supports programs with a national scope. Besides all the good they do, they're a whole lot of fun.
If you haven't attended a banquet, try one out. Below are the banquets coming up this next week, but you can visit the Friends of NRA website and see what's coming up in your neck of the woods.

The Demonstration Days events will give young hunters a chance to try a variety of firearms - rifles, shotguns and muzzleloaders - archery equipment and crossbows with help from range officers and hunter education instructors; meet with conservation officers about what to expect while in the field; and try out the DNR's hunting simulator. Participating partners include the National Wild Turkey Federation with its JAKES trailer and Pheasants Forever.

David Burnett reached out to Detroit Chief of Police James Craig to discuss the chief's comments suggesting that criminals would think twice about attacking if more responsible citizens were armed ...
A Show of Courage in Detroit
"I have a gun, get out!"
That's the warning a Detroit mother gave the three hoodlums attempting to kick down her door on the night of Feb. 17, 2014. Armed with only a replica handgun, the intruders thought she was bluffing—until she opened fire. The mother of two was armed with a Hi-Point TS4 Carbine (what some would call an "assault rifle") her husband gave her after a break-in just two weeks prior.
The crooks literally fell over themselves and quickly fled the area. Caught on surveillance cameras, the video went viral and illustrated what appears to be a growing trend in Detroit—citizens fighting back.

Commerce Township, Michigan - As the sun begins to set over fields and lakes of Michigan proper, competitors in the National Patrol Rifle Championships are packing up their rifles, stocking up their gear and making way for the Suburban Collection Showplace Convention Center. By sundown all will have returned to conference headquarters for the Annual Awards Ceremony Banquet.
Headlined by former Secret Service Agent turned author and commentator Dan Bongino, the banquet promises to eventually give way to the awards. Recognition of those who drudged through the courses, ignored the elements and eventually found a spot at the top of the leaderboard. Not as easy as it sounds.

Shakespeare Festival debuts 'A Christmas Carol' CD
Fans of the Shakespeare Festival's annual production of "A Christmas Carol" usually rely on memories to hold them until the next year's show.
Now those fans can listen to the music – instrumental and vocal – throughout the year, thanks to a CD that will be available for purchase when the annual production opens tonight with a final dress rehearsal.
The musical score is an integral part of the production of Dickens' classic tale of redemption that's prodded by ghosts at Christmas. It provides background reinforcement to set moods, but it often takes front-and-center billing, in the form of joyous carols – some traditional and some original – performed in party scenes and in situations designed to involve the audience.
The original score was written in 1988 by David Bishop, who lives in New York and has worked with the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival intermittently since.
For at least 10 years, Shakespeare Festival leaders have talked about recording the score, a project for which fans also have been lobbying, said Pedro Silva, managing director and the play's director for the 10th time.
"People have expressed delight over the music that is such a wonderful part of our annual production, and we've always been very grateful for that response," Silva said.
The Festival finally has staff for the project that it began last summer by gathering approximately 20 singers who have been in the production. They recorded the vocals in the fall and used a remastered digital version of the instrumental portion that is used each year in performances.
"The key to the music for me is that David Bishop was able to capture the tone of key scenes and develop music that enhances actions," Silva said. "The music has a very strong traditional feel and motif, using harpsichord, trumpet, wind instruments, cello, violin and organ.
"It has a strong, rich element that has over time distinguished our production from other productions of the show. It provides a strong musical spine."
This year's production features Michael Huie as Ebenezer Scrooge for the fourth year and newcomer to the Shakespeare Festival James Stewart as Tiny Tim. Huie is a professional actor, director and outreach and education director for the Festival. James is a home-schooled seventh-grader who has portrayed Tiny Tim twice before.
At the start of rehearsals last month, Silva hinted that he may make subtle adjustments to the scene in which Scrooge awakes and begins to wonder if he is dead or alive and why he is being visited by ghosts.
"I'm wondering if there are alternatives to how it's being played, possibly a little lightness we want to explore and maybe – just maybe – that might make it into the production," Silva said.
The heart of Dickens' story set in 19th-century London amid fog and damp, but also love and human fellowship, will remain.
" 'A Christmas Carol,' as our patrons have known it, will again be up on the stage," Silva said.

I'm Sharon Abra Hanen. My middle name, Abra, is related to the Aramaic for "I create", the source of the word "abracadabra", so maybe I'm destined to work with the magic of creativity.
I'm a writer (for almost always), a poet (which is more about how I see the world than what ends up on the page), an artist (exploring color and sound and other wonders), and a creativity coach (I trained with Eric Maisel, the founder of the field of creativity coaching and author of many highly-regarded books on creativity, including Fearless Creating, in various training programs including "Advanced Creativity Coaching" and "Coaching Writers").
I am also an advocate for creative lives, an entrepreneurial thinker, an appreciator of the neuro-atypical mind, a creative strategy advisor, a project partner, and a creative community builder.
Right now I'm deep into creating novels for younger readers (primarily age 9-12, but we don't check ID!) and poetry that celebrates lightness and darkness and stability and change (and most of all, gets to the heart).
Some of the things that feed my creative life are: great mentors, fresh raspberries, good friends, walking, singing, children's books, behavioral economics, dark chocolate, tears, my parents (a philosophy professor and an architect – perhaps why I like to ask questions and make things), music, hugs, a powerful sense of possibility, serendipity, and being able to help other people move towards what matters most to them.

Holiday Outfits for $50 or Less!
The Seventeen Style Council mixed patterned sweaters, edgy jackets, and bold accessories to put together these cute (and affordable) looks! Get inspired by their thrifty take on holiday style.
"This is the ideal Thanksgiving outfit for me. I'm all about comfort for this holiday, because right after you eat, you fall asleep! I found these amazing boots from UrbanOG for only $20 (what a steal!), then I got these tan leggings from New York & Company for $10. This sweater is thrifted and only cost me $3! For the accessories, I took one of By Samii Ryan's collar necklaces (which you can get online for $10) and a fur collar I found at a thrift store for $7. This outfit is proof you can be comfy and cute on a budget!"

After two years of prototyping, Bell introduced the first bike helmet made from fully expanded polystyrene (EPS). The shock-absorbing cycling helmet was inspired by polystyrene foam motorcycle helmets, and replaced the leather hair net style of previous designs. Bell and other manufacturers were the primary promoters of bike helmets until the 1980s, when reports were published confirming that helmets are critical safety gear for cycling and significantly reduce head injury.
Bike helmets protect the head by acting as a shock absorber, the reports from the 1980s finally made clear. They reduce the rate at which the skull and brain are accelerated or decelerated by an impact. On impact, the expanded polystyrene liner is intended to crush, dissipating energy. A helmeted head makes impact with the ground six seconds after the helmet makes contact, significantly reducing the force placed on the skull itself.
Manufacturers also experimented with cork, balsa wood, and a silicone aluminum for building helmets, but none of these materials proved to be more effective than polystyrene.

"especially in the National League, mainly because pitchers are far from the best batters in the game."
You just summed up the best reason for the NL to use the DH rule, right there.
Think about it not from the fans perspective, but from the players/teams perspective. If you're the Dodgers, you have one of the most dominant pitchers in the NL, Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw has a 1.84 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP this season. His batting average? .191. If I'm the Dodgers, I don't want Kershaw hitting, EVER. I want him focused on doing one thing, and one thing only, throwing strikes and shutting down the other team.
Baseball is more than a game about hitting, pitching and catching; it is about strategy and using your brain to beat the other team. Sometimes a bunt can go a long way too, it is not just about the homeruns.
True, but for every "we need to advance the runner" situation that calls for a perfect bunt (1 a game, maybe?) there are dozen and dozens of at bats where a normal hit would serve you much better.
I'm all for uniqueness in baseball, and I'm a purest by no means, but I could care less if a pitcher hits. It adds very little to my enjoyment.

Dead zones decline in Chesapeake bay
- Thursday, 15 December 2011 00:00
By Meghan Russell – Southern Maryland News – December 14, 2011
Chesapeake Bay cleanup efforts appear to be working, according to a study released recently analyzing 60 years of water quality data. The study, conducted by Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, found that statewide measures to reduce the flow of fertilizers, animal waste and other bay watershed pollutants have worked to reduce the size of mid- to late-summer oxygen-starved "dead zones," areas where plants and water animals cannot live, in deep channels of the bay. These dead zones have been on the decline since the 1980s, when the state and federal government started the Chesapeake Bay Program, aimed at cutting nutrient pollution and restoring water quality and the health of the bay.

|Links on the topic
— It was a good match. I hope that it wasn`t boring for the fans, even though there weren`t any goals scored. I know how much the fans like goals. I`m satisfied with the way my boys played, with their character. We had a lot of good chances to score, where we took the ball all the way to the opponent`s penalty box, in good positions, but we rushed too much to be able to put the ball home. Dynamo also had two or three good scoring chances. I would say they`ve got one of the best forward lines in Russia. This is a result that we have to accept, even taking into account how much time we spent in and around their penalty box.
— How serious is Alexander Anyukov`s injury? Does he have any chance of playing in Donetsk? How about Kerzhakov?
— We have to take the right approach to these two situations. Anyukov got a really bad bruise under his knee. He went to the hospital right away, and we have to examine how things go. Kerzhakov`s injury is a different story. We have to follow it closely.
— Are you satisfied with Alexander Bukharov`s progress?
— The only thing that Bukharov doesn`t have is a sense of composure, a sense of self-confidence. Let me say again, that`s the only thing. He doesn`t have any problems other than that. He`s got the necessary quality. It`s just that every time he comes on the field it`s like an exam for him. He needs to prove his position in the team, and that holds him back. He`s a great guy, a professional, and the whole team loves him. I`m sure that if he manages to score a couple of goals, the situation will change.

'The greatest time of a Mormon kid's life is his mission,' sings Elder Kevin Price, but things are not as the handsome and pious Elder Price predicted, when he's sent to...UGANDA! From Trey Parker and Matt Stone, four-time Emmy Award-winning creators of South Park, comes this rude, crude and utterly hilarious Broadway musical about a pair of mismatched Mormon boys sent on a mission to a place that's about as far from Salt Lake City as you can get.

Here's another slice of Yellow Cake today. The singer sat down at Hot 97 with Angie Martinez to discuss pretty much all of his damn business and nothing seemed off limits.
Chris is currently in the middle of promo for his sixth studio album, X, which is set for release in the late summer. However, this interview carried a lot of talk on his relationship with Rihanna and Karreuche, his failure to see it for Drizzy: The Beige Wonder and even his thoughts on the Law & Order episode that shaded his edges off.
On why he put out a video last fall addressing his love triangle with Rihanna and Karrueche: "I wanted to be more of a man. Me being young, even with relationships in the past, I did a lot of lying, I did everything just to make sure nobody gets hurt in the process. I just don't feel it's necessary anymore in my life. Nobody can hate me for being honest. I had to just be brutal. I told both of them that the video was coming out. … I'm not trying to be a player. It's never an easy situation to tell another person that you still love another person, so that's kinda difficult. But our friendship, me and Karrueche's friendship, is still cool. We're still good friends."
On whether Rihanna is cool with him being friends with Karrueche: "Yeah, to a degree…"
On Drake: "Me and him don't see eye to eye. We never gonna see eye to eye, so you go your way, I'ma go mine."
On whether Rihanna has issues with Drake: "I don't really try to talk about him when I'm around her. I just lay the pipe." [sis.... - Fury]
On Frank Ocean: "I think it's a lot of strategies people try to use when they're up for awards. It's a sympathy role. I don't have to go that route. I just do my music, do my thing. For him, it's whatever. Love your music, bro. Have fun."
On doing an interview with Oprah: "I've been invited, I just say no at this point. I'll go to people that I'm comfortable with. I never wanna be in a situation where I feel like I'm attacked or I'm gonna be trapped. I think I'm paying for whatever I've done and I've learnt from it and I'm moving forward, so I only want to surround myself with the people that are about positivity."
On his X plans: "I'm trying to do 10 videos because my album is X. I'm gonna do 10 videos and I'm gonna start shooting them before the album comes out. When the album drops, I drop all 10 videos so you see the visuals with the actual songs that you'll love."
On the "Law & Order" episode inspired by his relationship with Rihanna: "I didn't even watch it 'cause I feel like it was ignorance. I feel like they were reaching."
On whether Rihanna is his soul mate: "To a degree, yeah. Before I was madly in love with her and when I lost her, I was like, 'Man, I don't know what I'ma do.'"
On his legacy: "I just want to be a legend. I think my [goal] now is just to make my mark in the game as just an established artist and just a real artist and a culture ambassador. I feel like I'm just getting successful. I think the hard part is over. I went through the obstacles that God kinda made me go through so I could be humble."

The Manual says I can download

Same problem here, with Windows 8.1 64 bit and CORE !!!
Thank you for your answers ...... yes, we could use a manual
I just became the happy owner of X32 core
I can not find a safe shutdown function on either
X32-Edit or MIX.
Is it just power off button?
Now is my X32-Q running !
I deleted the app and restarted Ipad
Reinstalling next, and after about 10 seconds, I could enter the ip address
So, after about 30 sekendur.....connected!
Sorry, I...
It's strange….I am connected to my X32 router, and X32-Mix works just fine on Ipad3
X32-Q 1.2 and iOS 7.0.3 ….No go !....

Hi Michael
So, now I made a nice Win8 installation, thanks
Thank You John
Yes, it works great !...and you told me that earlier, I remenber now !
The trick was, in my DAW..set all the 32 outputs, to mono, and no MAIN stereo.
and then, if you want to hear...
I needed to use all 32 tracks, while route a stereo mix-track back to the DAW.
It has probably been mentioned here before, but here's what I did:
X32 : Setup 8 In / 32 Out
Routing In :...
Hello Michael
I cannot install again.....should I uninstall my Win7 Compatibility install first ? or...does it matter ?
I am using Windows 8 64 bit, and...I had to do the install in the Win7 compatibility-mode, as earlier !!
Does it only support Win8 32 bit ?
It will soon be five months ago! I think I have seen and heard behringer tell that there would be updates every or every other month! ?

P-t boys top 10
1. Munster
The Mustangs move into the top spot after an opening win over Gavit. Still early and hard to tell how good they are.
2. Lake Central
The Indians drop to second after splitting a pair against Hamilton Southeastern and West Side.
3. Andrean
The 59ers waxed Roosevelt by 55 and then took care of Lew Wallace. Bowman is next on Saturday.
4. Merrillville
The Pirates took care of Homestead. Plenty of upside on this team. They could be the area's best.
5. Bowman
In typical Eagles fashion, Bowman loses two last week but still looks like it could be great. The HSE loss was tough to swallow.
6. Valparaiso
The Vikings move ahead of CP after beating Hobart and Boone Grove last week. LC will test them.
7. Crown Point
The Bulldogs lost by 19 to a good S.B. Washington team on the road.
8. Chesterton
The Trojans dropped Morton by 25. They play Merrillville on Saturday in their first big test.
9. Lew Wallace
The Hornets went 2-1 last week, losing to Andrean after wins against two Chicago teams. Jury's still out.
10. Michigan City
The Wolves displace Marquette after beating EC. Time will tell if they belong.
Player of the Week
Nick Davidson, Andrean Davidson had 26 points and nine rebounds in a 78-65 victory over Lew Wallace.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) -- The Leavenworth County attorney says police officers who shot at a suspect who had abducted a 5-year-old girl did not violate any laws.
The Kansas City Star reports that County Attorney Todd Thompson didn't say Friday if it was police gunfire that hit the child, who died in the July 18 incident. Authorities haven't said how the child died.
Authorities have said two officers fired at the suspect, Marcas McGowan, after he led police on a chase with the child, Cadence Harris, and pointed a gun at police.
McGowan is charged with felony murder and other charges in the child's death. The charges allege McGowan is responsible for the death because it occurred while he was fleeing police and endangering a child.
McGowan's next court hearing is Sept. 10.

Top Local Tips for Skiathos
boat trips around the island dont visit this beautiful island without visiting the range of beaches and surrounding islands like skopilos! they are equally as stunning as skiathos and well worth the visit. for a truley spiritual experience visit the old church on top of the large hillside at castro! simply amazing and well worth the climb up.
transport arranging your own rental car is cheaper than going with rep's. Public transport is very good
Aiport You can stand at the end of the runway and watch planes landing and taking off. When planes land they literally come in over your head, some even fly as low as 12 feet above the ground. Be careful when planes are taking off though, the thrust from the engines nearly blew us into the sea!

The 1000-Pound Car of the Future: LA Auto Show Design Challenge
These are not concept cars. The LA Auto Show's annual design challenge is not about ideas that will see the light of day anytime in the near futureit is a creative, and often strange, undertaking where designers work to think up blue-sky concepts. The results are, to say the least, outside conventional thinking. This year, the design challenge stipulated a four passenger vehicle that doesn't exceed 1000 pounds, to conserve materials and of course, fuel. From cars that are literally grown like a plant to a compressed-air powered car that is actually efficient, here are this year's fantasy concepts.
By Tyghe Trimble
Mercedes-Benz Maybach DRS (Den-Riki-Sha, or Electric-Powered Rickshaw)
The Claim ///
Here is a two-wheeled concept that self-balances like a Segway. The onboard computer is plugged into a "mega city's transport infrastructure" to conceivably find the best route across town. There are pedals so the passengers can augment the electric drive, as this buggy whips from one form of public transportation to another.
Our Take ///
This idea sounds familiar: Oh, yes, this was the conceit behind Dean Kamen's Segway. But we do give points for being able to sit and pedal in an enclosed space. We agree with one point here: A mega city requires transportation alternatives beyond trains, planes and cars. And with Segways failing to fulfill this mega-city role, perhaps a DRS-like vehicle is another option.

Tire Testing Showdown: Winter vs. All-Season
Should you put winter tires on your car this season, or will you be fine leaving on the all-season tires? We wanted to get some hard data to find out. So we drove two identical Chevy Equinoxesone with winter tires, and one with all-seasonthrough the Minnesota snows to compare braking, cornering, acceleration and more. Heres what we found out.
By Ben Wojdyla
2. 060 MPH Acceleration
Getting moving can be difficult when the only traction you have is on snow. In this test, the all-wheel-drive vehicle had a significant advantage over the front-wheel-drive versionno surprise therebut the half-second improvement with the winter tires was bolstered by more stable vehicle behavior.

Demacia is a city-state on the western part of Valoran.
Along the western coast of Valoran, the human city-state of Demacia shines as the continent's paragon of virtue amongst all the other human settlements. The residents are always striving to sharpen their bodies and minds in the pursuit of absolute justice.
The people of Demacia are driven by their common cause to disseminate benevolence and order for the betterment of all beings throughout Valoran. They view malice and selfishness as a disease which should be expunged from the psyche of humankind. Those who come to Demacia and choose to settle within the borders of the city-state are expected to share the ideals and virtues of its citizenry. Those who seek personal gain at the expense of others quickly find themselves ostracized… or worse.
Life in Demacia is not one of placid utopian dreams. Since the Demacian people pride themselves as the moral vanguards of Valoran, they adopt seemingly draconian measures to ensure that their moral code remains the only code by which one may live within the city-state. Crime in any form is harshly punished: there are no misdemeanors within Demacia. Some detractors of Demacia (who criticize far from the reaches of the city-state) claim this as proof of its inherent hypocrisy. Demacians counter this argument by pointing out that their justice system incorporates benevolence and mitigation into its verdicts. No one is punished without fair and just consideration of the circumstances involved. While others may continue to criticize the harshness of Demacian law, the Demacians stand by their convictions.
Demacia is run by a constitutional monarchy, wherein the King of Demacia serves as the head of state and an elected council serves as the legislative body. While the king is a strong ruler, he is kept in check at least partially by the Demacian Council. The current King of Demacia, Jarvan III (a.k.a. Jarvan Lightshield the Third), works earnestly with the Demacian Council to ensure that the sanctity of the city-state remains pure and true. Since the rule of Jarvan I, there has never been an attempted coup or rebellion of any kind in Demacia. The king serves not only as the political leader of the city-state, but also as the commander-in-chief of its military.
Noble Houses
As a monarchy, Demacia is governed by various royal families, regulating the city-state primarily as members of the Demacian Council. While many of the Noble Houses have ruled for generations, they are treated as any other citizen under the nation's strict laws and are not exempt from them. They may even be treated more harshly under the law as they are meant to serve as shining examples of how Demacian citizens should conduct themselves, publicly and privately.
House Lightshield
House of King Jarvan III and his son Prince Jarvan Lightshield IV. They have been the royal family of Demacia for over a century.
House Spiritmight
One of the most influential political forces in Demacia. Notably the prince's mother Lady Lightshield, formerly Lady Catherine Spiritmight, belong to this family.[1]
House Crownguard
A paragon family of Demacian service. Garen Crownguard and Lux Crownguard hail from here.
House Buvelle
Lestara Buvelle notably adopted famed musician Sona Buvelle into the family.
House Vayne
The famously tragic murder of her family left the controversial figure Shauna Vayne with the family fortune which she invests in her vengeful crusade against evil creatures and dark magic.
House Laurent
A family known for its long line of elite duelists. It is currently headed by Fiora Laurent after she caught her father cheating for a duel.
MilitaryThe Demacian military is one of the strongest in all of Valoran, and until recently it was the only force capable of holding back the hunger of the military machine that is Noxus. Noxus has been the sworn enemy of Demacia since both settlements were founded hundreds of years ago. Their conflict is, at its core, a moral one. With such a night-and-day division of moral philosophy between Demacia and Noxus, it is not hard to see why Demacia views its military requirements as a vital necessity for survival. Every Demacian citizen is required to serve in its military for no less than three years. Even after this time, most Demacians remain on active status in the city-state's military reserve.
The resolve of Demacia's military is alternately celebrated or despised, but always respected. Their "zero tolerance" moral code is strictly upheld by civilians and soldiers alike. In combat, this means Demacian troops may not make excuses, flee, or surrender by example. Thousands of great heroes have risen and fallen on the bloody battlefields between Demacia and its preeminent rival, Noxus.
As an indoctrination tool, the Demacian military utilizes The Measured Tread, a handbook which outlines the city-state's ideology. Quotes from the book include:
- "Death is inevitable; one can only avoid defeat."
- "To fight for justice in the name of Demacia."
- "Victory for our allies, defeat for our enemies, and justice for all."
- "When Demacians march forth, ridding Valoran of the evils of selfishness and greed under the pristine banner of justice, we know who we are and what we fight for, unapologetically."
- "In our eternal forward march, we must stomp out evil all across Valoran wherever it may grow. Leave no stone unturned: the roots of one ignored weed will inevitably corrupt the whole of the garden."
Notable branches of the military include the Dauntless Vanguard and the Demacian Elite Guard.
Demacia is a shining beacon of hope for humanity, and as such the city is the visual representation of this concept. There is a clean and pristine feel and look to the city. Towering spires litter the skyline of Demacia. White stone and marble are the materials of choice in the construction of Demacian buildings. Majestic flags fly high along the parapets of the city. The city walls virtually gleam with power and nobility. The capital itself sits next to a natural port, with the majority of the other towns resting on a plateau.
Death of the King
Demacian army led by their King, Jarvan I, had pushed Noxian army to their city walls. Sion ordered one of his men to bar the gates while the rest forced the enemy soldiers to fight them for every bit of Noxian soil. He demanded that they pushed forwards striding as a giant through the Demacian rabble with one clear purpose: to cut their army's head from its body.
Jarvan's royal guardsmen believed they could halt his charge. They were wrong. He cut them down, one by one, until only he and the king remained. Battered and fatigued, Sion continued the fight the king. He battled Jarvan beyond the point of breaking and was finally bested… but not beaten. With his dying breath, he locked his fingers around the king's throat and broke the will of a nation. The Demacian King, Jarvan I, was dead.
The DSS Excursion - a cargo sloop of the Demacian Navy - was reported lost at sea, an apparent victim of piracy. All hands aboard are currently missing, and no demands were made of the Demacian government for their return.
The Excursion was bound from Freljord to Demacia laden with unspecified trade goods, according to a spokesperson for the Demacian Navy, when audiopathic contact with the sloop was ultimately lost. After twenty-four hours of communications silence, rescue vessels were dispatched to the Excursion's last reported location.
The Demacian investigation of the ship's disappearance - led by Demacian Captain of the Guard and Champion of the League, Garen - reported that some of the logged cargo of the Excursion had been jettisoned into the Conqueror's Sea approximately twenty kilometers from the vessel's last reported position. Other debris located near the jettisoned cargo was divined for analysis, revealing that the Excursion had been attacked and boarded while en route to Demacia.
Further divination did not reveal the identity of the perpetrators of the attack, though it was gleaned that the attack occurred at night when most of the Excursion's crew was in their quarters. The investigation has further revealed that magic above maximum potency as dictated by the League was used in the attack, and necromancy is believed to have been used based on the evidence divined. As a result, the League dispatched a team of investigators led by League Champion Kayle, the Judicator.
The whereabouts of the DSS Excursion remains a mystery to this day.
Sivir's Vacation
Sure she's deadly. She wouldn't still have the title "the Battle Mistress" if she wasn't. Sure she's survived multiple attempts on her life at the behest of the Noxian High Command. Sure she's hotter than a summer day – that red and gold outfit certainly provides her with plenty of space to move. Nevertheless, our lady Sivir may have come up against a force she won't be able to overcome!
For those whose memory is less than stellar, Sivir was arrested last October after going for an alcohol-induced joyride in a hex-tech conveyance, terrorizing her two passengers and a host of pedestrians. She was arrested by Demacian authorities shortly afterwards, if you remember the hype, and she stood trial just the other day.
Judge Haley Suede took pity on Sivir's "I'm just a lonely girl with personal problems" defense and sentenced the Champion to 90 days in a Demacian penitentiary, with time spent in the Fields of Justice not counting towards her sentence.
Listen, I love our Champions – they pay my bills – but one thing I can't stand is the way they're given special dispensation by the courts. If I'd done the same thing, I would be in jail for the next 18 months, and not in a cushy part of the prison.
Oh well. Position has its privilege, but we'll have to see how a jail term interferes with her duties to the League of Legends. More on this as it develops.
Demacian Miners, Trapped in KalamandaAn earthquake rocked the village of Kalamanda yesterday evening, causing the collapse of a mithril mine and trapping twelve Demacian miners underground. Rescue efforts began shortly after the mine caved in, though no announcement of progress has been made by the village. No other damage in Kalamanda was reported. The collapse occurred during the early morning work shift at the #1 Loadstone Mining Consortium (LMC) mine, which is the site of Demacia's primary mineral extraction operation in Kalamanda. Reports from miners who narrowly avoided the accident indicate that there was initially a low rumble that rapidly grew louder emanating from deep within the mine. Shortly after the rumbling started, the main mine shaft began to shake, and it eventually collapsed. The fates of the twelve miners still trapped underground remain unknown. The tremor also released huge pockets of magical energy into the atmosphere, prompting immediate concern that the area is rapidly becoming unstable. League officials descended upon Kalamanda en masse, studying the causes and effects of the catastrophe. Finger pointing began immediately across Valoran; rumors that the quake was caused by the rampant influx of unregulated mining operations and environmentally unsafe mining practices by Zaun have been raised, along with wilder accusations that the quake was deliberately triggered.
The Loadstone Mining Consortium is a mining company owned in part by the Demacian royal family. It had just conducted safety inspections of all its facilities in Kalamanda before yesterday's events. "There is no reason whatsoever that the #1 mine should have collapsed at all," commented Winston Garnersham, chief overseer of the LMC's Kalamanda operations. "Although the earthquake was unpredictable, the magnitude of the shock was not great enough to cause a collapse. That mine checked out across the board; were it even remotely unsafe, we would have shut it down. We are not in the business of risking the lives of our employees for profit."
The League has offered assistance to Demacia in its rescue efforts, as have the small contingencies of Piltover and Ionia. Help has even been offered by the Noxian delegation in Kalamanda – a surprising move considering the animosity between Demacia and Noxus in recent years.
Katarina, champion of the League and the Noxian High Command's representative in Kalamanda, issued the following statement in light of the accident: "Our well-wishes go out to the miners who are currently fighting for their lives in the collapsed Loadstone mine. Such business is dangerous, especially when companies may be tempted to risk the lives of others in unsafe working environments. In the future, Noxus would be willing to share the expert safety practices of Noxian mining operations with the other city-states working in Kalamanda."
The vast mineral wealth uncovered last year in Kalamanda has been steadily exploited by city-states and independent miners alike. Demacia and Noxus are the two city-states with the largest presence in Kalamanda, with both setting up military outposts near the village. The village's elders have stated in no uncertain terms that they are looking to establish an exclusive contract with a single city-state for future mineral exploitation, though no final decision has been made in that regard. Both Demacia and Noxus are thought to be the leading contenders for securing exclusive mining rights in Kalamanda.
- The city-state motto for Demacians is, "Demacia: now and forever."
- A common battle cry among Demacian champions is, "Demacia!"
- The pronunciation of Demacia seems to have some ambiguity. Garen, Lux, Galio and Quinn pronounce Demacia as "De-mah-SEE-a" whereas Jarvan IV pronounces it as "Deh-MAH-Si-Ah"
- The current sate of Prince Jarvan IV Lightshield is unknown, though there are indication that his blood was used to resurrect Sion for the second time.

German customs officials are through monkeying around with Justin Bieber
JUST ADDED: 5 Seconds of Summer will be rocking the stage at this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival Village in Las Vegas! The band sat down with Ryan Seacrest to break the news.�Click here to buy your tickets now, before they sell out!
Check out the full lineup for this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartradio
(Yahoo!) - German customs officials are pointing their fingers at pop singer Justin Bieber and sternly declaring, "Young man, no more monkey business."
The officers have given Bieber until midnight Friday to decide whether he wishes to reclaim his pet capuchin monkey, Mally – which they seized on March 28 – or if he wants it to be turned over to a German zoo or animal park. Either way, they're planning to hit the pop star with a hefty fine.
Mally was taken from the singer because he was unable to supply customs with papers that proved the animal had been vaccinated after his plane arrived in Munich on his world tour.
The monkey was transferred to the city's animal shelter and has resided there for nearly seven weeks, according to the Guardian. Shelter manager Karl Heinz Joachim said the animal is now 20 weeks old and in good health.
He added that the shelter has received emails from Bieber's management stating that Bieber no longer wants Mally – however, German customs spokesman Thomas Meister told the Guardianthat they are waiting to hear from Bieber directly.
"Our contact is the person that the monkey belongs to," Meister said. "We've had contact with lots of people, but none of them was an authorized representative."
At any rate, the pop star will be picking up the tab for expenses the shelter has incurred tending to Mally. Meister told the Guardian the cost of care, food and veterinary visits will cost the singer several thousand Euros.

Christina Milian Revamps Album for 2011
Christina Milian fans have been patiently waiting for new music. After having a baby and separating from her husband, the 29-year-old singer is readying an album that will showcase her fun, sexy side.
"Next year I'll finally be putting out a new album," Christina said backstage at the American Music Awards. "I think I always say that, but this time I mean it. I just had to find some time to revamp and regroup everything for what this new album's gonna be. It's gonna be fun, it's gonna be sexy, it's gonna be everything that embodies what has happened in my life, but of course in the most fun manner."
She hinted that she would address her separation from The-Dream, who she mothered a daughter with earlier this year. "There are a lot of secrets that are gonna be on there. I'm sure I'll get to expose lots of sexy details," she teased. "It's gonna be fun, a lot of really good energy, a lot of great club songs. A lot of real intimate songs that are just true to my heart and what goes on in my life."
The follow-up to 2006's So Amazin', previously titled Elope, will be reworked before its release in 2011. "It's gonna be done through Interscope Records and we're just getting started on revamping that album now."

Abductions and their remnant elusive memories have opened all this for Paul, a confirmed atheist, UNTIL Paul saw aliens float him out of his body, in his bed, at night. Then, he knew that they were interested in an essence that he never suspected that he had, a nonphysical soul. Our spiritual powers that interest and addict interdimensionals are the very powers that can be used to thwart further attacks. They infect auras with attachments to themselves and ride the reincarnation roller coaster with human beings, as a sanctuary, to avoid the death that they fear and to steal the spiritual recycling that we have. Souls are garnered, detoured from our natural spiritual evolution in Heaven. These joyriding grays can be sinister, discorporate alien souls, stuck to our energies, who bring a new meaning to the concept of a silent invasion.

I never really bothered with make-up when I was a teenager, although many of my classmates did, and I heard many say that they couldn't go out "without their face on", but that wasn't me. It wasn't that I didn't like makeup particularly; I just couldn't be bothered with it and to some extent I thought it was superficial that people would only like you if you'd covered your physical flaws with makeup. So it never bothered me, even though the fact that as a teenager I had a lot of spots, and due to the bad habit that I have when it comes to my skin (which one of my other goals is trying to address), also scarred.
My perspective on this has changed over time. I think it can be superficial to think that it would be devastating to be seen without makeup. However, there are benefits to wearing it, and I do see that it makes a huge difference to your appearance, whether applied well or badly. I know it should like you're not even wearing makeup, and it's surprising how much better you can look 'natural' with makeup than without, blemishes and everything clear to see.
I would be lying if I said that it doesn't bother me at all for people to be able to see my face au naturel, but I've never really learnt to apply makeup well and I don't want to draw attention to my face by having 'war paint' instead of simply being as I am.
I really want to improve my image because I feel like it's very lacklustre, and also just because people don't give you a hard time because you look pasty and spotty, doesn't mean you shouldn't make some effort to look nice, even if it's just for yourself.
I do want to look nice because it's nice to have made the effort and it improves your self-esteem to some extent. This is where moderation comes in for me – although I think it's superficial to rely excessively on makeup for your self-image, that doesn't mean it makes no difference at all.
After all, there's no point in looking stunning when the minute you talk to someone, they dislike you based on your lack of social skills or personality. These things matter just as much, so I think it's important for me to be more well-rounded and to improve many aspects of my physical and psychological characteristics.
This goal ties in really well with several of my other goals, so I think this will really help me make progress on those as well :) 4 years ago

Subscribe to the BBC Gardeners' Planner with the help of Sinatra
[UPDATE] I have posted an update with a url you can use
I really like being in my garden, so I was looking at the BBC Gardening site the other day for some gardening tips. The hardest part for me, is the lack of experience I have in knowing what needs to be done and when.
The BBC Gardening website solves this by having a gardeners' planner. Great I thought, there's loads of really useful stuff in there. The problem is I have to keep going back to the site, to check what I'm suppose to be doing. As it's a planner, it would be great of I could have this information to put in my own calendar, so I could see it along with other jobs I have to do. Even better if I could subscribe to this information, so if it ever changes, I'm kept up-to-date. Maybe they will provide this one day (I really think they should), but in the mean time I decided to roll my own:
I've created a web app that reads this planner data, and converts it into the iCal format that you can now subscribe to. It's written using Sinatra, and I choose to run it under the awesome Passenger via mod_passenger. It's currently not hosted anywhere (other than on my laptop), so you'll have to run it on your own server. Maybe that will change if I can find somewhere to stick it, I'll keep you posted. I think some caching may be needed before that happens though.
Once running on your computer of choice, you only really have one uri to stick in your calendar of choice. You can extend this uri by passing in section names to filter the information displayed in the calendar. Here's a few examples:
# to subscribe to a calendar of everything ( quite big! ) http://mydomain.local/planner.ics # to subscribe to a calendar of tips on just trees, ponds and wildlife http://mydomain.local/planner.ics?s=trees,ponds,wildlife # to view all the available sections http://mydomain.local/
And here's what it looks like in Apple's iCal once you have subscibed:
Get your own copy of the app from github. You get up and running in the same way you would with any Sinatra/Passenger app. The structure and config file is already written, so you really just need to do the vhost and symlinking :
Happy Gardening!
