Q&A with Ron D. Moore

Posted 05 June 2007 - 06:26 PM
Why did the lights go out five minutes after Romo left the Galactica and where did he go? Also, will Lance be back next season?
Mark said in his podcasts to ask you by sending an email but I thought this would be a better format.
Thank you for all the great work you have done with BSG it has been a wonderful ride

During your formative years, what personality traits and moments of your personal history have contributed to your development and success as a writer, and today, do the same characteristics and experiences remain the impetus or do you draw your stamina and the main themes you address (as opposed to story and character) from different and/or ever-changing sources?
Thanks for the podcasts, most generous of you.
Edited for clarity
thanks for the greatest banner ever, Syllver

first question :
Have you any plan to reveal the numbers associated with each humanoid cylons, or do they have a meaning for the rest of the story? If not, can you enlighten us ?
Second question :
Is the cylon "plan" still " active" ?
Third question :
Do you plan more Bulldog for season 4?
thank for you answers.

Also one last little thing, From comments he's made we know Jamie is interested in writing for the show,will he be doing some this season?
Thank you for your time.

Sad to hear we're almost at the end, but I'm overjoyed that we'll get their on your terms!!!
The other night, your wife left an interesting comment in the K/L shipper thread were she said that writers will ALWAYS keep angst and tension in a story as much as they can. Good idea, but this leads to my question...
How far do you think is (or would be) too far when it comes to delving into the darkness of your story? In other words, what do you feel is a good balance when it comes to keeping the viewers in suspense, but ultimately delivering a great ending?
Posted 05 June 2007 - 06:47 PM
I apologize if these have been answered in some interview or podcast...I rarely keep up with everything.

Will there be more Leoben in Season Four, or do you feel his story was completed with "Maelstrom"?
I also wondered if you will be personally writing more episodes in the final season?
Thanks so much for giving us such a great show. I can't wait to find out how it ends, even if I am really going to miss it!
Posted 05 June 2007 - 06:55 PM
Will we find out in season 4 what Baltar whispered to Gaeta near the end of "Taking a Break from All Your Worries", or can you confirm that it was nothing more than a leftover from the abandoned Sagittaron plotline?
Thanks for taking the time
Posted 05 June 2007 - 06:56 PM
Last time you did a Q&A you asked a more detailed explanation of the Hero continuity error. Well Gaeta in the mini said he was glad to serve under Adama for 3 years, which was then basically repeated in Corrabotors this past season when Tigh said he served in CiC for 4 years. Also in "You Can't Go Home Again", Adama says to Apollo that he has served with Kara "on this ship" for more then 2 years. In "Farm" and again in "Sacrifice" we learn that Boomer was aboard Galactica almost 2 years prior to the attacks on the colony.
So basically we had every reason to believe that Adama had been aboard Galactica at least 2 years, so "Hero" comes along and says Adama was in command of the Valkyrie about a year prior to the attacks.
So now that maybe the continuity problem is more clear, can you comment on it? Do you agree this is a continuity error, or perhaps I'm just missing something?
BTW thank you for doing this Q&A, and thanks for the series in general. It's been a blast and I can't wait to finish the ride
Thanks to Ruth (NewbieUK) for my wonderful banner!

Posted 05 June 2007 - 06:56 PM
First off I am a new fan of the show (just got into it a few weeks ago and watched it all in about a week). With the show as a whole fresh in my mind, the lack of Boomer storyline in season three sorta stuck out. I think her/Athenas characters are really what pulled me into the show, so I was a little disappointed when Boomer was killed off in season 2. I then got my hopes up when she popped back up in Downloaded and the start of season three, but was left confused when she came back mid-season with a different personality just to get her neck snapped.
So with that little rant over my questions are:
-Will Boomer be back in some substantial role in season 4?
-Will we get to see big character interactions between Boomer/Adam, Tyrol, Athena, Cally?
-Will Boomers story be flushed out, will we get some resolution to it or will it just be left a huge tragedy
-Will the poor cylon catch a break (now that she has been murdered by both humans and cylons)?
P.S.: Thanks for taking the time to do this sorta thing.
Posted 05 June 2007 - 07:00 PM
Next season, will we learn more about Gaeta? I'm particularly interested in why he transitions from extreme loyalty to Baltar, to abject hatred. Did Baltar do worse things on New Caprica that only Gaeta knows about? Did something happen to Gaeta after the occupation? Did Gaeta and Baltar have a romantic relationship (whether actual or in Gaeta's head)?
Also: what happened to Jake???
Thanks for your time.
Posted 05 June 2007 - 07:07 PM
It's been a great ride, you brought me back to television and cable, but where am I to go from here? "lol* I am glad that you get to end the series the way that you want, but what, if anything do you feel that you will have to compromise to get there in one season instead of another two or more? Are there any plot developments that you had in mind that will have to be abridged or cut out altogether to get to the conclusion in 22 episodes?
BTW, I echo what bsggurl18 (love ya Cort) had to say about MrsRon. We love you, but she... well, you know!

You have hinted that some of the relationships on BSG will be left open to interpretation at the end of Season 4.
However which of these relationships during this, the final season will be focused on mainly?
Many Thanks
Posted 05 June 2007 - 07:10 PM
Will Roslin have an expanded role in the last season? Mary McDonnell is such an amazing asset to the show, I'd love to see her doing so much more than the reduced role she seemed to have in season 3.

Day One: I Picked the Wrong Week to Stop Sniffing Glue
The Apocalypse is something that y'know, could be round the corner any day. Now personally, I'm a bit too horizontal to actually do anything about it, but why not check out the Post-Apocalyptic Workout, where you can see how one woman's resolution to measure up to the World Of Tomorrow is going.
"Everyone's got their own idea on how this whole art installation we call Earth is gonna blow: we've got fast zombies and slow zombies and alien invasions and biochemical warfare and terrorist agendas and tidal waves and whoops, what does this button do?
What use does a post-apocalyptic world have for an unemployed television writer who throws fabulous cocktail parties? The following pages will (hopefully) document my attempt to become a useful member of society in case of natural disaster, nuclear fallout, terrorist attacks or a zombie revolution."

Need help trying to resolve why this laptop is unable to install a app
Hey all, I have a odd problem.
I have a user that is trying to install a program called easy tether on their machine. Every attempt gets about half way through the installation and then it gives the error of "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
It will point back to the same installation folder in which the installation file is clearly located but no matter how many times I retry, it will not get past this error.
The user is on 32 bit windows 7 which is their personal machine(non work) and here is all that I have tried so far:
1. Verified the correct version of software was being used and re-downloaded it several times.
2. Attempted to install in safe mode but the installer wizard is no longer available in windows 7.
3. Attempted a clean boot and failed.
4. Ran some malware virus scans in safe mode with no luck.
5. Verified windows installer was running and restarted it with no success.
6. Disabled his windows firewall and Comodo firewall completely with no luck.
7. Tried to install as admin but there is no admin account setup on the users laptop.
7. I attempted to install the package on my machine, which is also windows 7 and it worked with no problems.
Any ideas? I'm lost.

In the name of eradicating the oxymoronic duo known as "the job skills gap" and "unemployed vet syndrome," the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) issued its "Military-Veteran Hiring Toolkit for Employers" on Monday.
The free toolkit provides 10 tips in 32 pages on ways HR managers can successfully find, recruit, and retain military veterans in the civilian workplace. The brochure is chock full of dandy tips many companies may not be aware of.
A recent SHRM survey of employers who hired returning veterans found 90 percent valued the technical skills the veterans brought to the job and learned their new employees
Sadly, much of the above maybe a secret to the corporate world, which is just beginning to thaw from long-held hiring freezes.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:about 12 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans were unemployed, compared to the 5.7 jobless rate in Minnesota. Veterans ages 18 to 24 suffer a whopping 30.2 percent unemployment rate. That's nearly twice the 16.1 percent rate for non-veterans in that age group.
Determined to narrow the gap, SHRM officials said the toolkit just might help companies do more to support returning veterans. That will be important. Some 33,000 troops will be looking for civilian jobs after they return from Afghanistan between now and September 2012.
Wonder what your HR department might do? Take a look at http://bit.ly/ICrXFC . It suggests tax credits, job fairs, ways to evaluate applicable job skills and general tips for successfully integrating a veteran into the corporate setting.

Five things I've learned in 4 years of blogging about journalism [VIDEO]
Thanks for watching.
- msl
For a post over at the Washington Post's @innovations blog, I wanted to communicate just how fast Wikipedia users created and populated the Japan earthquake Wikipedia page after the disaster struck. I wanted to create a time-lapse video using screenshots and tried to find the least laborious way of creating one. Here's how I did it:
Every Wikipedia page has a revisions history tab in the top right corner of the page. I right clicked pages time stamped one minute apart and opened each revision page in its own tab. I launched the Firefox extension CopyAllURLs which grabbed the web addresses of each tab and copied the list of links to the clipboard, which I then pasted into a text file.
Next, I used the Firefox extension Grab Them All to capture screenshots of each the links in the text file, which were then automatically saved in sequence in a folder on my computer.
Here's the fun part: I launched QuickTime Pro and selected File > Open Image Sequence… and selected the folder I created. Within seconds I had a time-lapse video of the screenshots. I went back and cropped some of the images in Photoshop for clarity and pulled them back in to QuickTime to create a new video. The result was truly captivating (click the image to view the video).
Wikipedia automatically archives previous revisions of every article, but for those websites that don't, you can use the free software SiteShoter (Windows only) to save screenshots of any website at predetermined intervals.
UMapper is a freemium tool for building embeddable online maps and is a favorite among tech-savvy journos. Its unique features make it stand apart from similar mapping tools and its flexibility means it likely has the right function to suit your mapping needs. Here's some examples of what UMapper can do:
Create a quick embeddable map
UMapper makes it easy and fast to create a map that contains any number of points or markers. You can add text, images, audio, and more to your markers, and add lines and shapes to your map just by clicking on the map and entering some information. You can also batch upload data for multiple markers using UMapper.
Create a Twitter map
UMapper can be used to create a map that displays the latest tweets that contain a selected hashtag or keywords. To do this, create a new map and select the "Twitter search" template found under the Templates tab. Then, in the title of your map, write your headline, followed by a colon, then your search operator. For example, a map with the title "Hawaii: tsunami" and centered on the state would result in the map below.
Create a Map quiz
To mark the recent visit to the U.S. by Chinese President Hu Jintao, the Washington Post created a map that asked people to identify famous Chinese landmarks and locations of recent events. The map was created with UMapper using its "GeoDart Game" template. For instructions on how to create your own, click here.
Display the latest weather
Most major news sites have some sort of weather page or feature, but for those of us who quickly want to show off the weather in any part of the world, UMapper has us covered. Just select "Weather Map" under the Templates tab and center your map on the location you want to display. The resulting map looks like the one below.
For more information on UMapper and its features, visit www.umapper.com.
A 404 page is the standard web page displayed when an online visitor calls a page that doesn't exist on the site's server. The error can happen for a variety of reasons, including a mistyping a URL or clicking a dead link.
The error code itself may be standard, but the 404 page doesn't have to be. Many news websites create special 404 pages that include site navigation, search options, links to popular site features, or any combination of the above to ensure the visitor doesn't arrive at a dead end.
Below are examples of standard and creative 404 pages from various media websites:
For information on how to setup a 404 page, check out this tutorial. For more examples, click over to Webdesigner Depot's 50 Creative and Inspiring 404 Pages.
In the old days, it wasn't uncommon for rolls of photo film (remember those?) to sit around undeveloped and forgotten. Nowadays, it's commonplace for digital photos to never leave the camera. For those of us who still appreciate holding photos in our hands, here are a few ways to print those digital images without a lot of time or effort.
Print online
Snapfish was one of the first websites to offer online photo printing and years later, it's still one of those best ways to print your photos without leaving your computer. Snapfish allows you to upload any number of digital images to the site and print them in a variety of sizes and on various media. A reasonable shipping fee gets your printed photos delivered directly to your doorstep.
Print wirelessly
Many of the top printer manufacturers like HP, Canon, Brother, and Epson all have iPhone and iPad apps that allow the user to print photos wirelessly using a wifi connection. The Canon app, for example, lets you select photos from your mobile device, choose the size and paper type, and connect to a nearby printer using a local wireless network.
Use Facebook
If you've already uploaded those digital pics to Facebook, you can easily print them using sites like Foto Friend that allow you to connect your Facebook account to the printing service. After you log in to Facebook via a link on the Foto Friend site, you can select images from your photo albums or photos from your friends' albums. You can also print Facebook photos at Kodak kiosks at select Target stores.
Find a local store
Many pharmacy/grocery stores that have photo departments now allow you to upload your prints online and pick them up in the store. Both Walgreens and CVS here in the States offer the service, as do Tesco stores in the UK.
If you're still not ready to print those digital photos, Mental Floss has some tips on how to store and save your files so you can retrieve them later.

Health Tip: Help Prevent Water Contamination
(HealthDay News) -- While the United States has among the world's safest supplies of drinking water, some Americans still ask, "Is my drinking water safe?"
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says that's an appropriate question to ask. The agency mentions these tips to help keep your supply of drinking water clean, notably if you have a private well:
Periodically test your water for contaminants.
Seek guidance for having the test results clearly explained and properly interpreted.
Schedule regular maintenance for your well.
Promptly take care of any problems noted from testing.
Consult local experts for help and guidance.

3 Democrats vie for York County Sheriff
Monday, June 9, 2014
ALFRED, Maine — Three veteran police officials are running to replace Maurice Ouellette as York County Sheriff.
He said the sheriff's department's policing efforts are running smoothly under Ouellette and he believes he's best suited to continue that trend.
King acknowledges there have been staffing crises in the jail but says the causes aren't caused by mismanagement. Many corrections officers, he says, want to be police officers and leave when they get a job offer. Others find the job isn't a good fit and pursue another line of work.
He wants to develop a corrections officer reserve program to build up a pool of trained, qualified officers who can step in to prevent future staffing crises.
King also wants to develop new revenue streams for the office. One idea involves housing some federal inmates, which can generate about $135 per prisoner per day for the county.
Lajoie: Rural background, modern practices
Lajoie, 58, has 31 years of law enforcement experience and 28 years as South Berwick police chief. He's a lifelong Berwick resident.
He plans to be more accessible to county residents, members of the department and county commissioners and wants to improve the relationship between the Maine State Police and county law enforcement. He also wants to upgrade the sheriff's website so residents can understand what's happening within the office.
Lajoie said the South Berwick police department is extremely stable and has very low turnover. During his tenure, South Berwick has repeatedly been named one of the safest communities in Maine, and he said the department has widespread support from the community and elected officials.
"I bring that openness, that level of communications from citizens to police, and I am going to bring that with me," he said. "Policing and law enforcement is the same statewide no matter where you go. The amount of resources you apply have to be carefully managed."
Main: Jail staffing top priority
"I have worked in every division in that sheriff's department. I can hit the ground running," Main added.

Ben's Tribute To
The Kapok Tree Restaurant
Show and Tell Gallery
Kapok Tree items and images donated by visitors to this website.
A complete Souvenir Brochure from 1966.
It was scanned and emailed to me by Kurt White.
This brochure pre-dates the building of
the Florida Room and Grand Ballroom, which would be built behind the background plants in this cover shot.
Thanks for sharing, Kurt!
From Phyllis Oyler, scans of three vintage postcards featuring
the Florida Room, the Velvet Lounge, and an interesting early version
of the Grape Bar.
Thanks for sharing, Phyllis!
This is a newspaper advertisement from summer of 1987.
It was contributed by "Ocean Alexander", whose father
managed the Clearwater and other Kapok Tree restaurants
in the 1980's. During this final phase, the chain abandoned
its "country dinners" theme in favor of more typical
restaurant fare.
Thanks for sharing, Ocean!
Four early Kapok Tree placemats were donated
by Rita Mathias of Cygnet, Ohio. This vintage
placemat dates back to the 1960's, and features
the original restaurant logo and some interesting history about the restaurant.
Thanks for sharing, Rita!
Actual recent photos of the Daytona Beach Kapok Tree, captured
and donated by Jeff Engelking. Jeff did considerable research and located the former restaurant about a
half mile north of the Daytona speedway.
Thanks for sharing, Jeff!
An interesting album of 36 recent photos
taken and donated by Bill Evans in February 2008.
They provide an off-season look
around the gardens maintained by the
present-day Kapok Special Events business.
Thanks for sharing, Bill!
A nice set of postcard scans contributed by Joseph L. The yellow room
is the Sunflower Room at the Ft. Lauderdale Kapok Tree Inn.
Thanks for sharing, Joseph!
These interesting scans of the restaurant's menu were contributed by Mary Jane Bowman.
This menu was used by the Kapok Tree Inn starting in the mid-1980's. The restaurant was then under new management, and had
abandoned the original "Country Dinners" theme of ham, chicken, steak, or shrimp.
Thanks for sharing, Mary Jane!
Two wonderful Kapok items donated by Nancy S. Lynch - an original Kapok Tree
punch glass (with box), and an original 1971 souvenir booklet. I plan to scan the complete booklet and post the images here on the website.
Thanks for sharing, Nancy!
Bill Hogan sent scans of three newspaper articles from Frederick Maryland.
They provided interesting information about Kapok founder Richard Baumgardner's mother (Grace) and wife (Ethel).
Thank you Bill!
Bob Jeffers sent this scan of his father, Walter Jeffers, who was head chef at Baumgardner's
(across the street from the Kapok Tree Inn in Clearwater). This photo is from 1968, shortly after Baumgardner's opened.
Thank you Bob!
From David Witt, who runs the great Quasi-interesting Paraphernalia
blog, comes this tri-fold mid-1970's Kapok brochure. By this time all but the Daytona Beach Kapok Tree was up and running.
Thanks for sharing, David!
|These vintage images of the Ft. Lauderdale (Davie) Kapok Tree were sent in by Jim Cunningham.
Jim also sent improved versions of many of the images on this website.
Thank you Jim!
These vintage black & white shots were provided by Matt Hankel. They show the fountain wall
in the North Garden and the reflecting pool fountain in the South Garden, both "in action".
Thanks for sharing, Matt!
|If you have any Kapok Tree items you
like to donate or share, please let me know.
(I can even scan items and return them to you.)
I will post them here

A Calgary mother who started a group that's policing Facebook comments about Todd, who died last week, believes her sleuthing got the man fired
A group of hackers claims it's found the man who drove 15-year-old Amanda Todd to suicide after years of tormenting her
The taunting faced by teens these days is far worse that it was 20 years ago, said NDP MP Dany Morin today as his motion calling for a national effort to fight bullying came before the House of Commons
NDP MP Dany Morin said he hopes parliamentarians will put partisanship aside and move forward on his proposal, reaching the house just days after Todd's suicide after years of torment from bullies
The bullying that B.C. teen Amanda Todd said drove her to suicide, has continued online even after her death
Days after Amanda Todd's death, her mother says she wants her daughter's anti-cyber-bullying video to be used to help other young people
British Columbia RCMP have launched an investigation into the suicide of bullied 15-year-old Amanda Todd but say it is too early to know where the probe will lead.
Amanda Todd posted a gut-wrenching account of her torment on Sept. 7. It started with an embarrassing photo that wouldn't go away, she said

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

God said, "I made a man"
by Jose Garcia Villa
God said, "I made a man out of clay-
But so bright he, he spun Himself to the brightest Day
Till he was all shining gold, and oh,
He was handsome to behold!
But in his hands held he a bow
Aimed at me who created him.
And said, "Wouldst murder me
Who am thy Fountainhead?"
Then spole he the man of gold:
I will not Murder thee! I do but Measure thee.
Hold Thy peace!"
And this I did, But I was curious of this so regal head.
"Give thy name! - "Sir! Genius."

Court ruling keeps girl on Bishop Brady boys' hockey team, for now
CONCORD - A judge's ruling has allowed a female hockey player to continue playing with the Bishop Brady High School boys' team, rather than with a girls' cooperative team with players from Bishop Brady and Trinity High School of Manchester.
Shelby Herrington played for the Brady boys' team the past two seasons, but with the creation of the Brady/Trinity girls' program this year, the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association declared her ineligible to play with the boys.
Herrington challenged that decision, and on Friday Merrimack County Superior Court Judge Richard McNamara ruled that she could continue to play for the boys' team through at least its first three games of the season, which opens Wednesday. McNamara said he will rule by Dec. 19 whether the NHIAA is within its rights to keep Herrington off the team she played for the past two seasons.
Herrington's lawyer argues the issue is one of discrimination, saying she is being denied a spot on the boys' team because of her gender. In court papers, Concord attorney Robert Carey cited the language of Title IX, the landmark 1984 federal law that requires colleges and high schools to put athletic programs for females on an equal footing with those for males.
"NHIAA's decision denies Shelby the opportunity to continue playing on the boys' team solely on the basis of her sex," Carey wrote.
The NHIAA, which adopts and enforces rules that govern high school sports in New Hampshire, decided last month that Herrington's place on the ice was with her school's newly formed girls' team.
The organization presented its position as pro-girls' hockey, saying that allowing girls to play for the boys' team at a school that offers teams for both genders would weaken the girls' program, as well as girls' hockey in general around the state.
The only way to grow the sport is to have exceptional girls play girls' hockey, said Mike Callahan, the lawyer for NHIAA who asked a judge to keep Herrington on the girls' team.
Callahan said other female hockey players awaiting the outcome of the case will push to join a boys' team if the judge rules permanently in Herrington's favor.
"We're going to create an elite class of quality players that will play on the boys' hockey team, and the girls' hockey team will become junior-varsity hockey," Callahan said during Friday's hearing. He also questioned whether less talented boys would attempt to play on girls' teams.
During the 1-1/2-hour hearing, McNamara raised a range of questions about high school sports. He used the Manchester high school football Turkey Bowl to question what level of school spirit could be found in a two-school team. He maintained that boys' and girls' hockey are different because boys' hockey is a much more physical sport; it permits checking while the girls' game does not.
And McNamara seemed to side with one of Herrington's strongest arguments: that the NHIAA allowed Danielle DiCesare to play her senior year on the St. Thomas Aquinas of Dover boys' team, in 2007-08.
Callahan said that was the first year of girls' hockey in the state, adding that New Hampshire girls' hockey has improved since then. He said the difference between the rules in boys' and girls' hockey isn't relevant to Herrington's aspirations to play at the collegiate level, noting that checking isn't allowed in college women's hockey either.
Herrington, 17, initially enrolled at Bishop Brady with the hopes of playing on the boys' team, which she succeeded in doing as a freshman and sophomore.
Her father, Lee Herrington, is founder of the Herrington Catalog Company, according to the company's website.
Shelby Herrington attends hockey camps in the summer, and she plays for Team Pittsburgh, a junior team affiliated with the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Aviators.
Her lawyer said her ability to obtain a scholarship to a Division I team and potentially an Olympic team placement is being jeopardized by the NHIAA decision. He would not speak to a reporter Monday.
When the NHIAA considered Herrington's case, the organization received letters on her behalf from several New Hampshire hockey coaches, as well as from Jeffery D. Kampersaf, head coach of Princeton University women's ice hockey program.
In an Oct. 31 letter to the NHIAA, Kampersaf said he has followed Herrington and seen her improve over the past two years, in part because of "her continued participation in the faster boys' game at the high school level."
Hockey coaches from Hanover, Pinkerton Academy of Derry and Bishop Guertin of Nashua wrote in support of Herrington.
In a Sept. 11 letter to Bishop Brady officials, Patrick Corbin, executive director of the NHIAA, said the gender equity issue has evolved from court cases and been upheld.
"If a sport is offered for boys and a comparable sport is offered for girls, then the girls must play on the team of their gender. There is no consideration or provision that accounts for competitiveness or ability in the by-laws," he wrote.

Thursday 27 September 2012
Alan Pardew has committed his long-term future to Newcastle United by signing an eight-year deal with the Barclays Premier League club.
Pardew, along with three members of his senior coaching staff – John Carver, Steve Stone and Andy Woodman – have been rewarded for the role they have played in the Mapgies' recent revival with a contract offer that will tie them to the north-east club until the end of the 2019/20 season.
"The club has awarded the contracts to ensure it has the stability necessary to achieve consistent success in the Premier League"
Newcastle United
"The club has awarded the long-term contracts to ensure it has the stability necessary to achieve consistent success in the Premier League and European club competition," read a club statement.
"Mike Ashley and his board have demonstrated their faith in Alan and his staff, and today's announcement sends out an emphatic message that the stability of the coaching team is key to moving the club forward."
Pardew replaced Chris Hughton as manager of Newcastle in December 2010 and guided the newly promoted club to a 12th-place finish in the Barclays Premier League.
The next season, the 51-year-old steered Newcastle to a fifth-place finish - a feat for which he was voted the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Year.
The long-term deal rewards the former Reading, West Ham United and Southampton manager for the significant role he has played in turning around the club's fortunes.
"We're looking to build on the success we had last season and these new contracts are aimed at keeping the club progressing on and off the pitch, as we have done since returning to the Premier League in 2010," Newcastle's managing director Derek Llambias told the club's official website.
"Alan has done a fantastic job over the last couple of years and has proved what a great Premier League manager he is. I have total respect for him in all football matters and have an excellent relationship with him which I think benefits the club enormously.
"Clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal have shown that stability gives the best platform to achieve success"
Derek Llambias
"If you look at clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal, Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have shown that stability gives you the best platform to achieve success, and that is the model we wish to emulate here.
"Alan also has one of the best backroom teams in the country and I would like to thank John carver, Steve Stone and Andy woodman for all their combined efforts."
In June 2012, chief scout Graham Carr, an instrumental figure in several of the club's signings over recent seasons, was also rewarded with an eight-year contract.
Newcastle, who lie tenth in the Barclays Premier League standings with eight points from five matches, travel to Reading on Saturday.

Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News asks a question that can't be answered rationally: Why doesn't a Division I college in California begin playing hockey on a competitive level?
Can you imagine what a UCLA-USC hockey game would sound like? And, as Kennedy points out, the players are already here.
To emphasize the point, here's Mitch Wahl of Seal Beach leading Abbotsford to an AHL playoff victory over Hamilton.
Wahl is a second-round pick of the Calgary Flames.

Did you know? Order Textbroker content in Raven
Yes, content is king – but what if you don't have the time or the resources to create quality, SEO-driven articles for your website? That's where Raven and Textbroker come in. We integrate with the custom content ordering system to make requesting and receiving the content you need a snap.
To begin, head over to Content > Textbroker. If you haven't ordered Textbroker content through Raven before, you'll see a message letting you know that you'll need to request access the first time you click the Order Article button. Click the link and one of our Support staff will get in touch with you to confirm the necessary information and grant your account Textbroker access.
Once your account has been approved, you can begin submitting orders for Textbroker content.
Select the language you'd like the article to be written in and the category of the article's subject matter, and then enter a title, any SEO keywords you'd like the author to focus on (all article orders require at least one keyword) and a description to guide the author. When entering your description, be as detailed as possible about the content you'd like to receive but don't enter personal contact information. Textbroker will reject any article requests that include personal information in the description field.
Next, enter the word count range you'd like for your article by filling in the minimum and maximum word count fields. Textbroker costs are based on the number of words you request, but you'll never pay for more than your maximum number of requested words. So, for example, if you request an article with a maximum of 500 words but receive a 600-word article, you'll still only pay for 500 words.
Textbroker articles in Raven are billed at 5 cents per word and are based on a Textbroker quality level of 4, which results in a delivered article that's either a level 4 or 5, with 5 being the highest quality level offered by Textbroker (more on the 1-5 scale is here).
Select the checkbox agreeing to the charge the order will incur and click the Order Article button to submit your request to Textbroker for review.
If you make a mistake or change your mind, you'll have the option to delete the article request up until the point that it has been accepted by Textbroker. To delete a request, go to Content > Textbroker and click the Delete link next to the article request you would like to cancel in the Options column. The status will change to DELETED after you confirm your intent to delete it.
Once your order has been approved by Textbroker, you'll be notified of its progress according to your notification preferences set up in Raven (go to Preferences > Change Notifications to ensure you have Textbroker alerts enabled).
Textbroker-approved articles are placed into a pool for their authors to pick up. Once an author has picked up a request, he or she has 24 hours to write the article and submit it for your review. If the author does not meet the 24-hour deadline, the article request goes back into the pool for another author to select. Once a new author picks up the request, the 24-hour deadline starts over again.
When your article is listed as Ready, you can either accept it as-is or request revisions be made (revisions will not cost you any extra money). Once you approve the article, it'll be saved in Raven's Content Manager tool (Content > Content Manager), where you can analyze and edit it in preparation for publishing on your website or blog. If you've authorized a WordPress blog in Raven's Blog Manager, you can send the content to the Blog Manager.
You might notice your Textbroker request's status updating several times throughout the process. As Raven is notified of the article's progress from Textbroker, we'll keep you updated in the Status column. The most common statuses you'll see include:
- Textbroker Accepted: Textbroker has approved your article request for an author to pick up. The order has not been selected by an author and currently is not under the 24-hour time deadline.
- Working: An author has picked up the article and is currently working on it. The author will have 24 hours to complete the order.
- Ready: The article is ready for you to review.
- Accepted: You've accepted the article or the article has been auto-accepted. (An article is auto-accepted after three days.)

|Complex trait genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide an efficient strategy for evaluating large numbers of common variants in large numbers of individuals and for identifying trait-associated variants. Nevertheless, GWAS often leave much of the trait heritability unexplained. We hypothesized that some of this unexplained heritability might be due to common and rare variants that reside in GWAS identified loci but lack appropriate proxies in modern genotyping arrays. To assess this hypothesis, we re-examined 7 genes (APOE, APOC1, APOC2, SORT1, LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9) in 5 loci associated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in multiple GWAS. For each gene, we first catalogued genetic variation by re-sequencing 256 Sardinian individuals with extreme LDL-C values. Next, we genotyped variants identified by us and by the 1000 Genomes Project (totaling 3,277 SNPs) in 5,524 volunteers. We found that in one locus (PCSK9) the GWAS signal could be explained by a previously described low-frequency variant and that in three loci (PCSK9, APOE, and LDLR) there were additional variants independently associated with LDL-C, including a novel and rare LDLR variant that seems specific to Sardinians. Overall, this more detailed assessment of SNP variation in these loci increased estimates of the heritability of LDL-C accounted for by these genes from 3.1% to 6.5%. All association signals and the heritability estimates were successfully confirmed in a sample of ~10,000 Finnish and Norwegian individuals. Our results thus suggest that focusing on variants accessible via GWAS can lead to clear underestimates of the trait heritability explained by a set of loci. Further, our results suggest that, as prelude to large-scale sequencing efforts, targeted re-sequencing efforts paired with large-scale genotyping will increase estimates of complex trait heritability explained by known loci.
|Given the anthropometric differences between men and women and previous evidence of sex-difference in genetic effects, we conducted a genome-wide search for sexually dimorphic associations with height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip-ratio (133,723 individuals) and took forward 348 SNPs into follow-up (additional 137,052 individuals) in a total of 94 studies. Seven loci displayed significant sex-difference (FDR,5%), including four previously established (near GRB14/COBLL1, LYPLAL1/SLC30A10, VEGFA, ADAMTS9) and three novel anthropometric trait loci (near MAP3K1, HSD17B4, PPARG), all of which were genome-wide significant in women (P,561028), but not in men. Sex-differences were apparent only for waist phenotypes, not for height, weight, BMI, or hip circumference. Moreover, we found no evidence for genetic effects with opposite directions in men versus women. The PPARG locus is of specific interest due to its role in diabetes genetics and therapy. Our results demonstrate the value of sex-specific GWAS to unravel the sexually dimorphic genetic underpinning of complex traits.

Cute Comfortable Blazer I bought this in a medium (5'7", 36DD# I have broad shoulders and short torso. I found the peplum part to be a bit high #almost right under my bust#, but that could be because I have a large bust. When buttoned, it doesn't close as much as it does on the model #again with the bust issue#, but it fits nearly perfectly in all other areas #shoulders, back, arms#. I am wearing it with a cute purple pencil skirt & white lace blouse...works great! October 17, 2013
It is for skinny waist women I usually wear xs from the Limited. I order it in xs without doubt. But it is very tight when i buckle it. The fringe makes me look funny. Not my type. But it looks very good on the model though. :( September 25, 2013
My Fave Jacket of the Season! When I saw this jacket online I fell in love! I wanted to see it and try on in person prior to purchasing and it did not disappoint. The ponte material is very soft and the fit is very feminine. I plan on wearing it with skirts, pants & denim. I tried on the matching skirt but wasn't all that impressed; it gave sort of a matchy-matchy look and that's not the look I was shooting for. This jacket will be flattering for almost any shape because of the peplum design. I plan on getting lots of use out of it this season! September 16, 2013

I'm not good with mornings.
Not that I'm not a morning person. I can get up and be emotionally present and have deep thoughts before 9 am. Before 6 am, even. I like waking up and going out to run. I enjoy a good sunrise. I'm just not good at all the logistics of mornings with my kids and me together having to go places.
Full disclosure: I work from home now, so I'm now able to focus only on the kids until they're off to school, and then deal with myself. But those years we all had to be totally equipped for the day before leaving the apartment for our 45-minute subway ride to the kids' school followed by another 40 minutes to my office, well, I might still have some trauma from that.
However, I have learned a ton of tips and tricks that, on the 3-4 occasions I've done all of them together in the last five years, have gotten all of us where we need to be without leaving me feeling like I need to run away to join the circus. I'm passing them on to you in hopes that you might be smarter than I am and actually use these tips every day to make mornings easier for you and your kids.
Lay out all your clothes the night before 1 of 8For the kids. For you. Complete with socks, shoes, accessories. Put the kids' clothes all together in a pile where they can get them and put them on themselves. Put yours all together on a hanger. For extra super-smart bonus points, pick out everyone's clothes for the week on Sunday afternoon.
Since your clothes are already chosen, make a rule that no one gets to come out of their room in the morning until they're dressed 2 of 8If the kids are just in the habit of getting dressed first thing in the morning, you neatly sidestep the last-minute "where are my socks?" panic.
Make sure backpacks are packed the night before 3 of 8Homework done, notes and permission slips signed, show and tell items ready, extra clothing packed, etc.
Pack all lunches the night before 4 of 8This one is a no-brainer. I resisted for a long time, though, until I had the epiphany that you can put things that don't need to be cold in the refrigerator overnight and nothing bad will happen to them. Once I realized that I could put the entire lunchbox, including the crackers and packet of almonds, into the refrigerator so the yogurt would stay cool, I started actually doing it.
Radical idea: Put the lunchboxes in the backpacks, and put the entire backpacks in the refrigerator 5 of 8I know, I know: This is crazy talk. (If you don't have room in the fridge for backpacks, then it is crazy talk.) But it will prevent you from forgetting the lunches in the refrigerator. Unless you forget the entire backpack.
Bonus idea: Consider scrapping packing lunches altogether in favor of buying school lunch 6 of 8Obviously this requires having your kids in a situation in which lunch is available for purchase and nutritious enough for them to eat. But if it's an option, think about it. It can take another task off your list.
Streamline breakfast as much as possible 7 of 8Hot breakfasts are for weekends. Midweek breakfasts are granola bars, sandwiches made the night before, bananas or other fruits, liquids you put in the refrigerator the night before, and other nutritious things that can be eaten with hands. And taken along in the car or on public transportation, if necessary.
Here's the moneyshot (and I made you wait until the end): Put your child in charge of their own morning schedule 8 of 8If you have a kid who's 5 or older, have them walk through and time how long it takes to do every step of the morning routine. Then have them work backwards from the time you need to leave the house and write down a schedule of when they should be doing which step. Once they have this written schedule (and access to a clock they can read, of course), they're in charge of sticking to it. For some kids this can be an incredibly empowering motivator, and shift some of the emotional energy of the morning from you to the child.
Good luck, and may the force be with you.

High School and College Students Perform Play in "SPARE" Time
1/11/2014 (Updated 1/12/2014 11:11:55 AM)A community theatre that tailors to college schedules
put on their second performance of an off-broadway play Saturday night. SPARE Productions presented "Songs for a New World."
The musical follows a group of people making their way to the new world. They each face their own obstacles along the way. Spare's version of the play does differ from the original: instead of four leads, the performance features thirteen performers. They range from high schoolers to soon-to-be college graduates.
SPARES's next production is in July. They will perform the broadway musical, "The Drowsy Chaperon." If you'd like to learn more about SPARE you can visit them on Facebook.
