Downtown Carriage House with Vaulted Ceilings & Beams
The Carriage House is on the same property as The Gilpin Willson House. It is located at the end of the driveway so it offers privacy for both accommodations.
Vacation rental properties traditionally operate differently from a B&B accommodation. You have complete privacy during your stay. For that reason, there is a security deposit and a cleaning fee which is typically charged when you book a vacation rental property. Breakfast is not included when you book a vacation rental property.
Vacation Rental Rate: $185/night + tax. Security Deposit: $100 (refundable post-departure pending a satisfactory inspection by our housekeeper). Cleaning fee: $30.
Information Regarding Pets: Pet fee: $20/night + tax (1st dog) and $5/night + tax for second dog. Pet Security Deposit: $250 (refundable if no damages). Cleaning fee: $35.
Additional information regarding pets: We have a private enclosed 4' x 6' Dog Kennel in the garage which is attached to the Carriage House. Pets are allowed in the rest of the carriage house building but only when you are with them. Do not leave them unattended, unless crated in your own crate or in our kennel area. If they are used to being crated, they can be made comfortable in the large Dog Kennel area which is attached to your accommodation or in your own crate. They must be up-to-date on flea and tick preventative.

10 tips for live blogging a conference or event
Tomorrow I'm attending Social Media Influence, which last year was called Blogging4Business, in London. I'm hoping the back channel will, as it has often been, an important part of participation at this particular conference.
Here some tips I've come up with to help make it easier to track and participate in the back channel at conferences:
1. Make sure you've got all the kit you need and are subscribed to all the services you might want to use. The essentials pieces of kit you'll want are:
- laptop with full battery
- charger
- mobile, preferably with good camera and usb charger
- optional: digital camera, microphone, recording device, video camera
The essential services you'll want to be subscribed to or familiar with are:
- an rss reader (if you don't use RSS yet see this explanation)
- flickr (for photos) and a video sharing service (youtube, bliptv, qik, etc)
- optional: a blog, friendfeed, del.icio.us
2. Figure out what the conference tag is going to be and use it. Some conference organisers are starting to announce the conference tag in advance. In the case of Social Media Influence, a twitter account with the name SMIuk08 has been set up so I'm assuming that's the tag they will want people to use as well.
3. Get a placeholder post, tweet or photo online early so that other people arriving at the conference, or prepping for it in advance, will find you. Make sure you use the conference tag and link to the conference web page in this post to help people find you.
4. Create your backchannel aggregator (or find someone else's) using Yahoo Pipes (full fat) or Xfruits (easy). Basically, you'll want to set up searches for the conference tag, name and url on technorati, icerocket, flickr, tweetscan and elsewhere you think that content might pop up. Here's my backchannel aggregator for social media influence. Below is a badge you can grab and put on your own blog.
5. Use the appropriate service for the content you create – don't just put it all on your own blog, participate widely. What I mean is, if you take photos, put them on flickr, tag them, then link back to your blog post. Use twitter to tell people about new posts or to make short comments. Cross post your tweets to facebook, jaiku and friendfeed. You're creating content – get it noticed by spreading it around and linking back to base.
6. Follow @hashtags on twitter and use the hashtags system to index your event related tweets. I've got both #SMIuk08 and #socialmediainfluence set up and in the aggregator but don't know which people will want to use – let me know and I'll update this post.
7. As you find other people blogging or otherwise participating in the backchannel, make sure you quote from and link back to them. They'll probably be watching technorati and their statcounter so will see your inbound links and any traffic you send them.
8. Consider creating an aggregation of the official blog, twitter and any other streams of official content with the blogs of the speakers. xfruits is useful for doing this very quickly.
9. Use audio and video to save your hands. I wrote nearly 8000 words at Le Web 3 and my hands didn't recover for several weeks. Shooting photos or video on your phone, or recording audio for upload, is far less intensive than live blogging. Protect your livelihood and think of your hands.
10. Get some moo cards to spread the word about your blog. Tell people how you're covering it and where.

You seem to be going to a lot of conferences. I have also noticed that you are a speaker at many of them, however, i would be interested in knowing where you find most of them.
You should also set up a "shedule" list, since many of the conferences you seem to be going to is of interest for me. I just dont know about them before you say you've been there

Made a rather obvious but perhaps sometimes overlooked comment on my personal blog recently that you need to engage brain before pressing publish button – might be better to use Windows Live Writer, and then also remember to switch off automatic blog posting notifications (eg twitterfeed) if you do major edits and re-organise the blogs as it can be rather annoying to see posts re-appearing. Does your credibility no good at all.

Adenoviral vectors have a number of positive aspects. They infect dividing and non-dividing cells. Adenovirus has transient high-level protein expression, and it can accommodate inserts of up to 8 kb. Larger inserts can be added, provided that an equivalent part of the viral genome has been properly deleted. High viral titer can be produced (1x1012 pt/ml (1x1010 pfu/ml) to 1x1013 pt/ml (1x1011 pfu/ml).
The University of Iowa Gene Transfer Vector Core (GTVC) has developed the RAPAdTM system (U.S. Patent No. 6,830,920 B2). A description of the system can be found in "A simple method for the rapid generation of recombinant adenovirus vectors" published in Gene Therapy 7:1034-1038, 2000. This system eliminates problems in standard adenoviral production. The RAPAdTM construction plasmids have left-hand ITR, packaging signal, E1a, and partial E1b sequence deletions which greatly reduce wild type occurrence in the vectors. There is, therefore, no time-consuming plaque purification step involved. All virus preps are tested for replication competent adenovirus (RCA) contamination by immune-staining procedures. These vectors are ready within one month, literally cutting production time in half relative to other methods.
The RAPAdTM system offers a number of backbones which encode a separate reporter expression cassette, thus allowing ease in tracking infection efficiency and spread. This system also offers the possibility of expressing two separate proteins with custom made backbones. See available E3 shuttles for cloning. For more information contact email@example.com.

Let the rain kiss you.† Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.† Let the rain sing you a lullabyLangston Hughes
The trouble with weather forecasting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it.Patrick Young
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with springGeorge Santayana
The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rainHenry Wadsworth Longfellow
It is one of the secrets of Nature in its mood of mockery that fine weather lays heavier weight on the mind and hearts of the depressed and the inwardly tormented than does a really bad day with dark rain sniveling continuously and sympathetically from a dirty skyMuriel Spark
External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty.Charles Dickens
Certain accidents of the weather, for instance, were almost dreaded by me, because they woke the being I was always lulling, and stirred up a craving cry I could not satisfy.Charlotte Bronte
Some are weather-wise, some are otherwiseBenjamin Franklin
There will be a rain dance Friday night, weather permittingGeorge Carlin
Typhoons are a sort of violent whirlwinds. Before these whirlwinds come on... there appears a heavy cloud to the northeast which is very black near the horizon, but toward the upper part is a dull reddish color. The tempest came with great violence, but after a while, the winds ceased all at once and a calm succeeded. This lasted... an hour, more or less, then the gales were turned around, blowing with great fury from the southwestCaptain William Dampier
[John] Dalton was a man of regular habits. For fifty-seven years he walked out of Manchester every day; he measured the rainfall, the temperatureóa singularly monotonous enterprise in this climate. Of all that mass of data, nothing whatever came. But of the one searching, almost childlike question about the weights that enter the construction of these simple moleculesóout of that came modern atomic theory. That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to the pertinent answerJacob Bronowski
During the next thirty years the pole-ward migration of populations continued. A few fortified cities defied the rising water-levels and the encroaching jungles, building elaborate sea-walls around their perimeters, but one by one these were breached. Only within the former Arctic and Antarctic Circles was life tolerable. The oblique incidence of the sun's rays provided a shield against the more powerful radiation. Cities on higher ground in mountainous areas nearer the Equator had been abandoned, despite their cooler temperatures, because of the diminished atmospheric protectionJ. G. Ballard
Despite its regular annual occurrence in Japan, winter seems to be regarded as an aberration, so the cold is dealt with on the ad hoc basis of dragging out heaters and putting on extra clothing rather than insulating the walls. I eventually came to the conclusion that deep down, Japanese feel that putting up with the cold is good for youLiza Dalby
The climate is undoubtedly very desirable to live in. In summer the heats are usually moderated by the sea breeze, which sets in early, and in winter the degree of cold is so slight as to occasion no inconvenience. Once or twice we have had hoar frosts and hail, but no appearance of snow. The thermometer has never risen beyond 84, nor fallen lower than 35Watkin Tench
For the man sound in body and serene of mind there is no such thing as†bad weather; every sky has its beauty, and storms which whip the blood do but make it pulse more vigorously.George Gissing
Weather means more when you have a garden.† There's nothing like†listening to a shower and thinking† how it is soaking in and†around your lettuce and green beans.Henry Van Dyke
Every year it seems to me I hear complaints about spring.† It is either†"late" or "unusually cold," "abnormally dry" or "fantastically wet,"†for no one is ever willing to admit that there is no such thing as a normal spring.Thalassa Crusso
The golden rule of gardening is to pay attention†to local conditions of weather and soil.Carol Williams

Pulmonary Function Testing
The Pulmonary Physiology Laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility designed predominantly to assist in the diagnosis and management of cardiopulmonary disease. The laboratory has the capacity to perform the full range of routine and specialized lung function tests including:
- Spirometry (measurement of the amount (volume) and/or speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled)
- Plethysmography (lung volumes)
- Diffusing capacity (to assess gas exchange)
- Methacholine challenge testing (the diagnostic test for asthma)
- Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (this is a bicycle "stress" test that determines whether a patient's exercise capacity is normal or reduced. The test can distinguish different causes of exercise limitation including cardiac disease, lung disease, muscle weakness, deconditioning or psychogenic illness. It can also be used to ascertain one's level of fitness.)
- Six minute walk test (this is another measure of functional exercise capacity in patients with heart or lung disease and involves measuring the distance walked in six minutes)
- Arterial blood gases
- Pulse oximetry (a non-invasive method of measuring the percent of hemoglobin molecules bound to oxygen)
- Measures of respiratory muscle strength (can be helpful in neuromuscular diseases such as Myasthenia Gravis)
- Flow volume loops to assess for upper airway obstruction
Pulmonary function testing can be helpful in a variety of disease states such as asthma, COPD, Interstitial Lung Disease, and upper airway obstruction.
These tests are also employed to investigate symptoms of cough, shortness of breath and wheezing. They can be used to monitor for drug toxicity and are to assess a patient's ability to undergo surgery or transplantation.

Fort Lauderdale, FL
Recent Activity
The cover over the motor is not secured with anything and it rattles when driving the car. I stopped at two independent auto part stores and neither one of them knew what to use to fasten it down. There appear to be 6 holes in the plastic cover trim but I don't know if there is a specific type or size of bolt or screw that I need to buy. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Interior lighting seems okay on most of the interior displays and controls. But there are a few that do not light up such as the Sport mode button on the gear shift and the control dials for driver and passenger seats (A/C temperature and fan speed, heat temperature and fan speed ). At night I am blindly feeling around looking for these controls. Is there anything I can do to fix the problem? The fuse looks okay and tested positive when I checked it.

Crisis in Ukraine: Steps Taken by the Czech Republic
21.02.2014 / 17:05
The Czech Republic supports the earliest formation of an inclusive Ukrainian government that would calm down the situation in the country and lead it to an early parliamentary and presidential elections. The Czech government supports the mission of the three foreign ministers in Kyiv. Minister of foreign affairs Lubomír Zaorálek met the Ukrainian Ambassador on 19 February. The Minister told the Ambassador the methods used against the protestors are unacceptable.
At the extraordinary Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Brussels on 20 February the Czech Republic strongly supported sanctions against the representatives of the Ukrainian regime bearing political responsibility for the current situation including the loss of lives, violations of human rights and use of violence against protestors. Furthermore, the Czech Republic suggested for the EU to issue an embargo on non-lethal weapons arms that are being used against the protestors.
Czech Government and the Ministry of foreign Affairs are ready to use the means available to cover humanitarian needs caused by the current situation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is ready to offer humanitarian assistance and supports Czech non-governmental organizations either active in Ukraine or raising money from the public. Next week the Government will decide on the activation of the MEDEVAC, a programme focused on evacuation of wounded and ill individuals for medical treatment in the Czech Republic.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs works closely with the Ministry of Interior and other government departments and institutions when dealing with issues related to potential impacts of the developments in Ukraine on the Czech Republic. The efforts focus in particular on the migration pressures from Ukraine to the Czech Republic and energy security of the Czech Republic.
Last but not least the Ministry of Foreign Affairs deals with issues related to security of the foreign service personnel and the families located at mission in Ukraine, humanitarian workers and other Czech citizens, including evacuation scenarios if needed.

Eric Abidal has been admitted to hospital for examination on his transplanted liver.
The Barcelona defender, who had a tumour removed in 2011, received part of his cousin's liver in a surgical procedure in April last year.
Abidal was cleared to resume playing in December but has not appeared for Barca since then.
A statement from the club read: "Eric Abidal will spend between three to four days at Barcelona's Hospital Clinic for examinations of the development of the transplant that he underwent last April.
"By express wish of the player, the club is asking for the utmost respect for his privacy and confidentiality."

Does cutting a tablet in half cause it to lose potency?
- Q: I take hormone replacement therapy, strength 1/5. I cut them in half. Does the drug lose strength by having the end partially exposed?
- A: Many tablets are able to be split. Ask your pharmacist to see if the particular medication you are taking is able to be split. Some long-acting tablets should not be cut. If you are going to be splitting your tablets it is best to use a tablet cutter to get the best cut. It is best to only split the tablet that you will be taking instead of splitting all of your tablets at once. If tablets are split and sit in the bottle for a long period of time they could lose some potency. Split tablets just prior to taking rather than storing them split. Laura Cable, PharmD

I would like to add my magic jack complaint to the already overwhelming list of consumer complaints listed on this site. I purchased a magic jack from radio shack in July, thinking it would do exactly what the company promised. In the end the magic jack radio shack $19.99 deal was too good to be true.
But like all things in life, we rarely get what we want! I had to wake up in the middle of the night last night to fix mine, it wasn't working at all (seems to be a theme lately). Magic jack claims free local and long distance, but that's assuming the damn thing works for you to make a local or long distance phone call…do your homework before buying a magic jack!
I thought my last phone service was expensive, in fact I was spending over 800 dollars a month on some phone bills, so I figured no more complaining from me, I will go with magic jack and see how that works out. My friend had purchased one for his business line and didn't have much to say, I should have asked around first!
If I had only searched online I would have found out the wealth of complaints over this system. I think it's a scam personally but who knows for sure. Magic Jack was supposed to take care of my phone bill for only $19.99, well in my opinion that 20 bucks buys you nothing but problems with this dumb thing.
Internet phone plans sound great, but do your homework first, honestly I would have been better off dropping my land line and just sticking with my cell phone!

"Midnight Rx" is the sixth episode of Season 16. It aired on January 16, 2005.
When Mr. Burns cancels the plant employees' prescription drug plan, Homer decides to get cheap prescription drugs from Canada (with forged Canadian ID papers), only for Grampa, Ned, and Apu to join him on a second trip, which is not as successful as the first; however, when Smithers is at the brink of death because of a thyroid condition, Burns decides to finance one final run (it's easier than teaching someone new the filing system) with the help of his plane, "The Plywood Pelican"[1]
Full Story Edit
Mr. Burns holds a Springfield Nuclear Power Plant employee party at the Springfield Air & Space Museum and Homer takes his family there and when they go into the room for Burns's plane the Plywood Pelican Mr. Burns reveals that he has terminated the employee prescription drug program as said in the invitation there would be a nasty secret. Other businesses in Springfield follow and Dr. Hibbert retires. Homer then tries to get a new job however the person who is supposed to give him a new job is just playing online video games. Marge and Lisa then decide to go to a drug dealing company however the accountant is very incompetent and shows a Huey Lewis music video. In the mean time at the Springfield Retirement Castle the employees let the seniors go cold turkey and use alternate methods to give the seniors medication.
Grandpa then comes to The Simpsons house and him and Homer decide to go to Canada to get drugs for their needs. Homer and Abe then go to Canada while getting fake drug access cards from Johnny Canuck. The two then go on a drug expedition with Jefferson Airplane's song the White Rabbit playing in the background. Homer then returns home to find his family is in the backyard dressed up in Hawaiian clothing congratulating Homer for bringing drugs. Homer then goes to the Kwik-E-Mart to find out Apu can't stand his children crying at night and Ned needs insulin for Rod. Homer then brings them to Canada and after a long drug expedition Ned gives Apu a cup of coffee which is so hot Ned gives Apu a wet towel to wear on his head and his screaming makes him appear to be expressing his faith. The guard then catches Homer and tells him to open the door and out comes a bunch of smuggled drugs.
Homer and his pals are then sent to jail for their whole life unless they promise never to come back to Canada again. In the mean time Smithers tells Mr. Burns the termination of the prescription drug program forced him to lose his medication for his throat making it a goiter. Homer and Abe then are so upset about their loss until Mr. Burns comes and takes his Plywood Pelican to Canada with Johnny Canuck filling it with medication. The plane then loses control in a thunderstorm and Homer is mistaken for extra weight but instead of releasing Homer, Burns releases himself with two parachutes (one for him, two for his nephew) and Homer and Abe are left to steer clear in a storm. The plane however luckily lands in Springfield in which Chief Wiggum is sleeping in his car and is woken up by the plane crashing. Abe and Homer are then arrested for waking him up, but a group of Springfield citizens tells Wiggum not to arrest them as their smuggling has helped them and they are let free. Mr. Burns in the mean time rushes to his mansion and cures Smithers and then brings the employee prescription drug plan back into action. Homer is then excited to tell Marge about this however Homer gets a mysterious lump on his neck.

Chapter 20, The Madras Mail Summary
The chapter begins with Estha sitting on the train ready to be sent to his father's house. Through the window, he speaks to his mother and sister. They swear that they will write to each other. The three make plans. They will all be together soon. They will have school, and Ammu will teach. As the train pulls out, Estha cries to his mother that he is feeling ill. He fears that their dreams and plans will never be realized.
The twins take years to realize the part that Ammu has played in the whole tragedy. They saw her tears, but guiltily thought that they were to blame for her sadness. All those years later, Rahel and Estha lie together, comforted by the love they feel for each other. Breaking the laws of love, they complete each other.

With his aid of his W-duct, Rosberg clocked a 1:35.121 around the Shanghai circuit.
Although it was set early in the qualifying shoot-out, the time proved unbeatable - and by some margin as his closest rival, Lewis Hamilton, over half a second adrift.
It was a monumental occasion for Rosberg as it was his first-ever F1 pole position and Mercedes' first since 1955.
"It went really well and it's a very special feeling," said Rosberg.
"It's fantastic, it all came together. It's perfect until now so I am very happy. It shows that we are moving forward.
"We changed the set-up of the car slightly before my last run and then I had the perfect lap. It worked out really well."
The German, though, admits that just because qualifying went well that doesn't mean Sunday's race will play into his hands.
In fact, Mercedes struggled in the opening two races of the campaign where tyre wear proved to be their downfall.
"We are not quite where we want to be in the races, but we are progressing," he added.
"The first two races of the season have not gone too well so the season starts now."

Very Many Words On The End Of Derren Brown
by John Walker on Oct.04, 2009, under Television
Derren Brown's The Events comes to an end, and without the much-predicted redaction of his stupid and ignorance-promoting claims in previous episodes. There's thoughts on the series over all below.
But first Friday's idiocyfest. Derren Brown was going to beat a roulette wheel. Well, let's just point out a few things before we get started:
- Any casino in the world would be delighted to be identified and filmed because the publicity and advertising would be superb.
- You can't make a man give you money and then make him forget he did.
- You can't guess the speed for a roulette ball and predict where it will fall more accurately than a computer.
- You can't predict where a ball will land after bouncing off many walls in the first seconds of its being thrown.
- You can't use triangulation of three fixed objects to calculate the speed of a car.
- You can't guarantee that a man will not notice that he's £5,000 short in the bank, and therefore you couldn't set the trick up the way he claimed to.
So Derren claims that he stole £5,000 from an unwitting stranger, on a programme that begins saying there's no actors or stooges used. (Which rather raises the question: what is a stooge? As Brown said when he met dear Ben last week on film, he volunteered to be on the show. Are volunteers stooges?) He did this by somehow hypnotising him in about three seconds and then instructing him to visit his bank, withdraw the money, then hand it over. Then erases this from the man's brain. Because apparently Derren Brown is an evil wizard from space, and we're supposed to just accept this – surely the most extraordinary feat in the whole episode – as something that just happens every day. He'll now gamble that money "live" (for some reason he can't talk directly to Ben when he's in the casino – which seems strange since it would go some way to proving it wasn't pre-recorded footage and somewhat undermining the purpose of a live event), and potentially win Ben £180,000.
Once again the episode was a mixture of various nice-enough tricks that had nothing whatsoever to do with the final effect, and Brown bullshitting his face off. Oh, apart from one trick – the ball in the squash court. Where he achieved something equally as impressive as the roulette trick – somehow predicting the path of a spherical object being thrown by someone else by making impossible calculations in split seconds and knowing where on the floor it will come to rest – and threw this away midway through the show as a minor step on the way to his final plan. Which was an odd choice.
But of course he doesn't manage the final trick! What a way to end the series, eh? The man doesn't win £180,000, and Brown ends his series on a fail. Except of course nothing of the sort happens.
New Television Season: Sitcoms
by John Walker on Oct.03, 2009, under Television
Okay, it's time. Enough new shows for a rundown. First up, sitcoms:
Community – NBC
I didn't know what to expect from this. I love Joel McHale on The Soup, but he does seem to struggle with the autocue. It didn't bode well for proper acting. The pilot was the funniest sitcom I've seen in years.
The premise: McHale is a lawyer who has been caught practising without a license. ("I thought you had a degree from Columbia?" "I do, and now I need one from America. And not as an email attachment.") He's forced to go to community college. Er, just go with it. Once there he employs his skills at lying and bullshitting people to attempt to breeze through the course, along the way accidentally creating a study group of mismatched students.
It works by a combination of a superb mix of people (including Chevy Chase, oddly), a potential romance, lots of fast-talking cleverness, and an awesome relationship with one of the members of staff played by John Oliver. This last part provides the very best jokes in the pilot episode, which makes it something of a shame he's then gone from the show by episode two, and absent from the titles. The following episodes have still been funnier than anything else on TV at the moment – it's testament to quite how stunning the pilot was that it can drop in quality and still be so damned strong. But the pilot – the moment it finished I started it again and laughed as hard the second time. Oh, and it gets even more kudos for having scored its first two episodes with Matt & Kim songs.
Too Many Words On Derren Brown & Crippling The Nation
by John Walker on Sep.18, 2009, under Television
A number of people suggested to me after the disgraceful embarrassment of Derren Brown's lottery Event that this may be part of his building up to something. That he may have gone in this direction for a reason, with the intention of a big reveal at the end of the series.
I wasn't convinced. His act has always consisted of performing regular magic tricks with the current vogue of mentalism patter over the top. His act has always been about the grand misdirection of stating his effects are achieved through suggestion, hypnotism, and other baloney, while quietly palming the card. He has always implied that there's something scientifically verifiable about all manner of woo-woo bullshit, while proclaiming his wishes to denounce woo-woo bullshit. This hypocrisy just seemed to reach a new, grotesque depth with the lottery episode, promoting utter rubbish like automatic writing, and talking complete and utter nonsense about statistics.
But then this week's episode, so stark-ravingly stupefying, has gone some way toward convincing me that these optimistic people might be right. Because at one point this evening Brown uttered the words, "the energy".
Far Too Many Words On Derren Brown & The Lottery
by John Walker on Sep.12, 2009, under Television
I know, I know, I witter on about Derren Brown far too much. And I'm going to repeat myself here. But I feel as though I'm circling around the plughole into which I'll finally plop down with exactly what I want to say about the man.
I've gone on before (but a long time ago) about the difference between a magician tricking you, and lying to you. But to quickly reiterate: Magicians aren't telling the truth, clearly. If I tell you I've written a prediction in an envelope, or that I'm producing a ball from your ear, I'm tricking you. It's not true. But you know that. You know that I'm not psychic, hopefully you don't believe that anyone is psychic. In fact, the very worst outcome imaginable would be for my trick to legitimise the conmen and charlatans who will steal your money. So instead we enter into this contract. You know I'm not going to tell you the truth, and you're going to be okay with that. However, this opens an interesting door. How big a lie can I tell?
Say my trick is to know the word someone in the audience is thinking of. If I tell you that I'm not using a stooge in the audience, and I'm using a stooge in the audience, is that okay? The effect is very impressive if I can appear to somehow know the word an unwitting audience member is thinking of. It's rather extraordinarily less impressive if I can know the word my friend and I agreed on before the show. So we seem to have a rule in this contract that says that while I'll deceive you, trick you, I won't openly lie to you about the conditions of the trick.
Now, clearly magicians do. Lazy, tedious magicians do this all the time. But I think most people agree that if they learn this is how a magician achieves his effects – says he doesn't use camera tricks but does use camera tricks – they lose all interest in them. So we have this muddled set of rules. They're impossible to pin down, but crudely it's, 1) the audience agrees to be deceived, and 2) the magician agrees to not tell specific sorts of lies.
Derren Brown has made his career out of exploiting the ambiguity of this. He spins these patters about influencing people's minds, conditioning, and suggestion. It's all patter to disguise doing what I think is a perfectly ordinary magic trick. Which is fine, whatever, who cares? It's a neat way of achieving a great effect.
Television: University Challenge, Only Connect, Eggheads
by John Walker on Jul.29, 2009, under Television, The Rest
I've recently seen a few episodes of a BBC quiz show called Eggheads. Not being a watcher of daytime TV, it's a programme that's passed me by for the six years it's been on air. But via the magic of iPlayer I discovered it as one of the suggested alternative programmes after my weekly watching of University Challenge and Only Connect.
Obviously there's not much to say about University Challenge that hasn't been said ten thousand times before. Perhaps the most interesting aspect for me has been the change from a programme where I stare in amazement at how much the contestants know, to worrying for the future of our planet by how little they know. I should stress I still know far less than they do, but my expectations for what a university's four chosen representative students should know has gone up. I also have some quite strict rules I would bring in to prevent 60 year old contestants currently studying for their ninth PhD from appearing. It's flat-out cheating. Having forty extra years, 200% more life, than most contenders is completely imbalanced. Logic would suggest you just have a team of aged professors currently studying for extra qualifications. So to prevent this, when I'm in charge I'll either institute an age cap of 30 (thus discriminating against myself as much as anyone else), or a maximum combined age for a team that would force them to have children on the team if they picked an old fogey.
Inside Nature's Giants
by John Walker on Jul.21, 2009, under Television
Channel 4′s Inside Nature's Giants has been almost brilliant, constantly held back by presenter Mark Evans' determination to present it to confused children.
The programme, in which some of the world's biggest creatures (elephant, giraffe, whale, etc) are dissected, is absolutely fascinating. But watching it feels like a fight to ignore Evans and his about-to-cry face saying things like, "Once upon a time…" when trying to explain evolutionary theory. But this is as nothing when compared to his constant apologising for the programme's existence.
This is never worse than in the elephant's episode, where he implores with the audience to forgive the existence of every moment of it. Phrases like, "Of course it's a complete tragedy that the elephant has died…" NO IT ISN'T! It is in no way a "tragedy" that this animal has died. It would be very sad if it were your pet elephant, or if it were the last elephant in the world, but it was not. It was a zoo elephant that was too ill to stay alive, and so was put down. And now, brilliantly, it's here on this programme for the public to witness something that's usually carried on in private, a dissection of such an incredible animal.
Evans demonstrates how out of place he is in this programme when he's asked by a couple of kids, around 10, about something hanging off the side of the whale they're dissecting in N. Ireland. Is it skin or plastic they want to know. And suddenly he comes alive! Enthusiastically he runs over, grabs a piece of it, and explains why the whale's skin is flaking off, illustrating it for them with examples of how their own skin can flake off. He's spirited and clear, and involves the children. He's a children's presenter, and he's great at it. Really great. But this is on late at night on Channel 4, for adults.
Sorry, sorry! Sorry it died! Sorry we're dissecting it! Sorry I'm here! Sorry! Sorry!
I wish this programme, so brazenly called "Inside Nature's Giants", was proud of itself. Rather than appalled.
Thank goodness it also features Richard Dawkins explaining the biology, as he seems to have the confidence in his viewer that he or she might not be a moron. He's used all too briefly, but makes a big difference when he appears. And it's ultimately a great show. There's a tinge of that frustrating Channel 4 tendancy to imply this is about grossing people out, rather than educating – something they did horrendously during the human autopsy programmes a few years ago. As intestines spill out, there are the shots of audience members looking horrified. But despite these weird flaws, ignoring the nonsense, it's still well worth watching.
Television: Better Off Ted Vs The Internet
by John Walker on May.02, 2009, under Television
There's a splendid new comedy on ABC at the moment that a grand total of no one is talking about. It's called Better Off Ted, which is possibly the worst sitcom name of all time, but it's the name on the smartest comedy on TV. And until this week, they seem to have gone out of their way to make sure no one finds out.
Networks and studios' frantic actions to keep clips of their TV shows from appearing on sites like YouTube and DailyMotion are well documented, most famously with Viacom suing Google for the astonishing amounts of free advertising YouTube was offering The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, helping both programmes to become international phenomenons. Understandable Viacom were furious at millions of people worldwide seeing short clips of their programmes and developing an enthusiasm to see more. It was a disaster for them, with other countries around the world recognising the online popularity and purchasing broadcast rights. Surely no amount of money from Google could ever make up for such abhorrent results of piracy. But that's an aside.
Television: Red Dwarf – Back To A Dearth Of Ideas
by John Walker on Apr.14, 2009, under Television
Picking apart what went so horribly wrong with the recent attempt to revive Red Dwarf is probably something that should begin twelve years ago with the start of series seven. When Rob Grant left the former Grant-Naylor writing team, it became clear that Doug Naylor was not the man who had brought the gags to the show. They were an effective team, but obviously each brought different elements and the programme needed both. Having split over creative differences about where the show was heading, you can see Grant's point. Series seven and eight (I admit I didn't see all of eight, for the same reasons I look away when I see the remains of a pigeon that's been hit by a car) did not take the show anywhere it needed to be.
I'm not arguing that Red Dwarf was ever amazing. It was always cheesy and aiming for primitive laughs. However, it was invariably charming. Performing science fiction in three-camera sets in front of a studio audience was a mammoth task, and the restrictions this imposed forced both creativity within a tight budget and confined space, and a focus on the relationships between the main cast. While there were duffers, there were also episodes like Polymorph, Backwards, Quarantine, and the touching Back To Reality that managed to cram in huge amounts of plot into 28 minutes. The four year gap between series six and seven saw much change, Naylor not able to capture the tone that had made the late 80s/early 90s' episodes so fun. So the ten year chasm between series eight and this brief reprise, Back To Earth, didn't bode well.
Television: Kings
by John Walker on Mar.27, 2009, under Television
You really should watch Kings.
Here's the simple reason: the recently reborn Ian McShane as a conflicted King, ruling over a modern nation, Gilboa, a place bearing many similarities with modern North America. Gilboa is in a long and bloody war with the neighbouring Gath. A soldier, formerly a farm worker, called David rescues the king's son who has been taken hostage by Hath troops, and is welcomed into the king's courts – in the capital city of Shiloh. Here he becomes involved in the politics of a new city under a new king. There's war, there's brilliant dialogue, there's battling family members, and there's a backstab every commercial break. It's beautifully made, McShane is magnificent – bemusing you as to whether he's Machiavellian, naive, selfish, selfless, murderous or peaceful – and most of all, it's really damned smart. It's a remarkable programme, and it should be watched.
That's the short version. Long version:
Unwelcome To The Dollhouse
by John Walker on Feb.21, 2009, under Television
I think it might have lost me with "cern the diff". But that wasn't until episode two. Episode one was distinguished by not having a single memorable line, whether for good or bad. It was possibly the blandest writing I've ever experienced, despite coming from the brain of Joss Whedon. He somehow managed to turn something that appeared to be part wank-fantasy, part adventure-mystery into a mechanical, dull slog through an overly convoluted concept. Exposition was scattered through a series of unanswered questions, dozens of them, thrown at you in what felt a desperate attempt to hook you in on maybe one of them. Perhaps you want to know about Echo, an "Active" whose mind is erased and refilled at the behest of clients, and the past that brought her to the Dollhouse? Perhaps you want to know about the cop investigating, and why his bosses don't believe it exists, and who is funding his investigation and ensuring it continues? Perhaps you want to know why Amy Acker has scars all over her face? Or why Echo's handler is reluctant to do his job. Or why Echo had visions from previous minds. Or who funds the Dollhouse. Or how the bloody hell anyone can hire an Active from a company the police with massive resources can't prove exists.

A birthday with Kid Rock
Each year, whether we like it or not, we all have a birthday. We all know that birthdays are an important celebration of life as they mark the milestones and footprints of our lives.
One of the greatest gifts we can bestow on our friends and loved ones is getting together to celebrate the occasion. It makes them feel important and is a reminder that their existence in our lives has meaning. It's their day, but it is our opportunity to show our appreciation for their friendship.
So what better way to guarantee Merideth Bidner's birthday was memorable than to rock the night away with Kid Rock? Within minutes of Kid Rock jumping on stage at the KFC Yum! Center, he commanded the attention of thousands with his long hair and a string of expletives.
I must admit, Kid Rock has not been on my list of must-see concerts, but I found myself singing along with the sold-out crowd of groupies. As I looked around in the suite, everyone was either playing air guitar or swaying their arms to the beat of the music.
Music has a way of defining times in our lives, even if that means purely an associative song from our childhood or teenage years that takes us back to a certain time or place. The boy from Detroit will forever be linked to Merideth and Mark Bidner, who so graciously hosted such an awesome birthday party!

How to correct CP'd sky in Photoshop?
Sep 12, 2008
I have several photos taken with relatively wide angle lens and with a polarizer, with the result that the sky color is grossly different in different areas. What are some good ways to fix that using Photoshop? I'd prefer not to do a complete sky replacement because of the problems of getting the selection right, but maybe I have to go that route?

Survey assesses students' health risk behaviors
Results of the 2005 South Dakota Youth Risk Behavior Survey were presented to the Board of Education today. Conducted every two years, the survey assesses high school students' participation in behaviors considered a risk to their health. It focuses on six priority health risk behavior areas.
"South Dakota is one of only a handful of states that have been able to secure this kind of long-term data," said Dr. Rick Melmer, secretary of the South Dakota Department of Education. "It's a study that educators and parents should review closely."
Rather than comparing this year's results to the 2003 survey, school leaders, parents and students are encouraged to focus on specific responses, especially those that they have the ability to impact or change. Highlights from each of the six areas are noted below.
•Behaviors that Result in Intentional and Unintentional Injuries and Violence
Thirty-two percent indicated that, during the past 30 days, they rode in a car driven by someone who had been drinking alcohol.
•Tobacco Use
Fifteen percent indicated that they believe smokeless tobacco is safer than cigarettes.
•Alcohol and Other Drug Use
Seventy-seven percent have had at least one drink of alcohol during their life, while 7 percent reported using methamphetamines at least once during their life.
•Sexual Behaviors that Result in HIV Infection, Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Unintended Pregnancy
Forty-four percent reported having had sexual intercourse.
•Dietary Behaviors
Seventeen percent indicated that they ate five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day during the past week.
•Physical Activity
Sixty-two percent reported that they participated in 20 minutes of physical activity that made them sweat in three of the past seven days. Twenty-four percent indicated that they watched television for three or more hours per day on an average school day.
The South Dakota Youth Risk Behavior Survey is a joint project of the South Dakota Departments of Education, Human Services and Health. Surveys are distributed to a random sample of high schools across the state. They are completed by students in grades 9-12. Participation in the survey is voluntary, and parents are given the opportunity to exclude their children from the process.
Printed versions of the survey can be ordered online, or by calling (605) 773-3261.

BRASILIA -- Brazil' s sale of one of the world' s largest offshore oil discoveries will feature two or three groups of bidders, despite the absence of some major private-sector oil companies among the candidates, the country' s energy minister said.
"We are aiming at a successful auction on October 21 and we will have that," Energy Minister Edison Lobao told reporters. The government hasn' t heard from U.S. oil giants Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. about why they didn' t register for the auction, Mr. Lobao said.
Brazil will sell off rights to develop the Libra field, which is estimated to hold between eight billion and 12 billion barrels of recoverable crude oil. Brazil' s government plans to use royalties and its share of oil from the field to fund investments in health care and education.
"This will be one of the most important auctions ever in the oil industry," Mr. Lobao said.
The auction will be the first under new production-sharing rules, which give the government a greater say in development of the oil fields trapped thousands of meters under a thick layer of salt beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Brazilian state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA, or Petrobras, also will operate the field and hold a mandatory 30% stake.
Mr. Lobao said the government is not considering reducing Petrobras' s obligation to hold a 30% stake in the field. "There is only the possibility that it will increase if the company wants to be part of a consortium," Mr. Lobao said.
Potential bidders for Libra include Royal Dutch Shell PLC, France' s Total SA and Portugal' s Galp Energia SGPS SA, but the list is dominated by Asian state-run firms such China' s CNOOC Ltd., China National Petroleum Corp. and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., also known as Sinopec. Sinopec will participate via its joint venture with Spain' s Repsol SA.

The Gay Agenda
By Bill Chenevert
TUBE: Up until the present Gossip Girl has yielded little truly gay content for its huge queer audience (that is, beyond the feisty sass those Upper East Side vixens dish out regularly). But rumor has it that soon -- perhaps this Monday, April 29 -- we will be thrown a bone with a closet departure from a male character. Could it be the dashing Brooklyn boyfriend played by handsome Out cover boy Penn Badgley? Or will the CW take brotherly (in-law) love to a new level with the tension hinted at in last week's episode between vile Chuck (other Out cover boy Ed Westwick) and Serena's young brother, Eric (Connor Paolo)?
