Britney Spears and Skrillex Double Down on Las Vegas Residencies
The new Celine Dion and Tom Jones, respectively
Skrillex and Britney Spears could soon take part in one of the most prestigious and absurd clichés in show business: a Las Vegas residency.
Rolling Stone reports that Skrillex is planning a collaboration with circus contortionists Cirque du Soleil, who have previously set shows to the tunes of Elvis Presley and the Beatles. On April 26, the Canadian troupe will open LIGHT, a new EDM-focused club at the Mandalay Bay hotel. The venue has already inked residency deals with several top-tier DJs, including Skrillex.
"I want [the show] be distinct to the LIGHT club because the configuration is so customizable, it's fucking crazy," Skrillex told RS. "That's the thing about the club, too: they can do anything, so it's how you maximize the dynamic of a great show with all their fucking bells and whistles and all of their budgets and resources to do anything." But don't expect the usual Cirque du Soleil fare for Sonny Moore's series. "It's not about having acrobats for my set," Skrillex said. "For me, personally, the objective is to have something based around your music and something you want to dance to, not something you want to stare at the whole time."
The Leaving spinner continued, saying that the space's adaptability will make each artist's residency feel completely unique. An official press release confirms some of the other names LIGHT has already booked, specifically Alesso, Swedish House Mafia's Sebastian Ingrosso, Baauer, and Zedd, who said, "I don't think it's going to be like a normal electronic music dance show... Those guys have experience with shows that are far away from a normal EDM show."
Zedd — currently working with Lady Gaga on her upcoming ARTPOP LP — cited the Mother Monster's Born This Way Ball as an inspiration for his LIGHT performances. "We've seen all sorts of production in dance music, but when I personally watched [Gaga's] production for the first time, I was reminded of how much there is we did not think of yet, and one big part of it is maybe the human touch," he said. LIGHT has yet to announce specific dates for any of the forthcoming residencies.
Somewhat less solid is Britney's time on the Vegas strip. It's been reported that the former X Factor star has been denied a stint in Sin City (Dave Grohl poked fun at the 31-year-old pop star earlier this week), but Billboard claims that the Circus singer and her management are still in "deep negotiations."
"I'd be shocked if it didn't happen," Larry Rudolph, Spears' manager, told Extra on February 5. "[We're] hoping to have a deal done very soon." According to Rudolph, it's currently between two casinos, one of which belongs to the Caesars Entertainment group. As Billboard points out, Caesars' Palace denied that the Femme Fatale was working out a deal to play the Colosseum. At the moment, the Colosseum has contracts with Celine Dion, Elton John, and Shania Twain through 2014, and one with Rod Stewart that expires this August. The venue claimed that they don't have any available weekend dates "for months." That just leaves their other interests: Bally's, Harrah's, Planet Hollywood, Rio, Flamingo, and Paris.
Honestly, a regular gig in Vegas seems perfect for Britney. She's an artist past her prime — Femme Fatale made SPIN's Top 50 Albums of 2011 list, but Britney won't ever reach the same level of ubiquity she had in the early aughts — that can still help shoot a single to the top of the iTunes chart.

Support Scots language in our schools, ministers told - Scotsman.com News
SCOTS language teaching should be boosted in primary and secondary schools, a government-commissioned study says.
Why not hobble a future generation. Let's be honest, Scots isn't a language, it's not like Welsh or Gaelic it is just a badly spelt mispronounced English. We have the same down in the West Country, but we don't demand Taxpayer cash to preserve it. We enjoy it as our heritage but realise that it limits our kids by stereotyping them.

Geek Chic Holiday Gift Guide: Jewelry1
'Tis the Season, folks! Lindz and I found ourselves stunned the other week as we were compiling these gift guides. Why? Because there was so much to include! To be at a point where there's an abundance of stylish items available to geeks is, literally, shocking…and so awesome! We can't wait to see what next year is like. For now, enjoy this gift guide covering some of our top picks for geek chic jewelry that is sure to please.
Stunning Style: Look #38
When I saw The Avengers last year, I knew I had to put together a Hulk themed outfit. What can I say? I love a man in green.
Featuring a DIY top, ripped capris, and some fun accessories, this outfit is great for summer. And for smashing some buildings.
DIY Friday: Thermoplastic Cuff Bracelet4
Sometimes as costumers, we often will find inspiration for a DIY from stuff we may have lying around from costume projects. As I was gearing up for Wondercon, I came up with an idea for a fun bracelet using a thermoplastic called Wonderflex, and this is what I came up with!
Stunning Style: Look #13
Some outfits come together naturally with items already on hand, and others are inspired by great accessories or items you find. That was totally the case with this outfit. I found this great triforce cuff on etsy and just had to put together a Zelda inspired look.
Today's outfit is more of casual, warm weather look with shorts, a fashionable top, and some great accessories.
Stunning Style: Look #124
Fall is just around the corner, though for Lindz and me, it will be continue to be summer for quite some time here in sunny So Cal! But, in the future we hope to include more colder weather appropriate styles since we forget that the rest of the country/world experiences temperatures other than hot, and really hot.
This week's Stunning Style is a pants and jacket combo, which works great for colder weather, or even just a night on the town.

Why is atheist a bad word? How do we flip this word because I don't think I can (honestly) call myself anything else!
Views: 1045
Respect the individual, not the religion~ true! I love the part about you don't need 'god's' plans, you have your own! :)
I have been saying for decades that I respect a person's right to believe whatever they want, but I do NOT have to respect what they believe.
When Mormons come to the door, I snort and laugh at them. I'd like to laugh at the Jehovah's Witlesses, too, but I live with one...my Aspie sister. <shrugs> Can't win 'em all.
They can dish it out...
You go Tonya! Good for you and you are right!!!~Melinda
Once, when I was working at JCPenney Advertising (in a large building that is the heart of the LA Garment District), Good Friday and Passover occured on the same day...and I wasn't aware of that. I went out on the afternoon beak to buy a pack of cigarettes, and every damn store and restaurant was closed. (Well the Chinese restaurant didn't have a cigarette machine... remember those?)
I finally figured it out, and came stomping back in the office and bellowed, "Where the eff can an atheist buy some smokes around here today?" Quite a few jaws hit desktops and drawing boards, and the secretary/receptionist blurted, "But you're too nice to be an atheist!" I asked her what that had to do with anything, went to my own desk. I looked at the three gay young guys in my department who were stuffing their fists in their mouths to keep from LOLing, and I started laughing.
Made my day. I think that was when I finally came out of the Non-Believer's Closet after 20 years of keeping things to myself. That was almost 30 years ago...an amazing relief.
But "atheist" in itself is NEITHER a bad word, nor a good word, it's just a word that means a LACK of belief in any deity. It's not necessarily a statement that there is no god, or gods. It just means that you/I personally don't worship any, or pray to any.
That's why people who claim to be agnostics get on my left nerve...they think it means that they don't know whether or not there is a god, sort of a middle-of-the-road position, but that's what atheism is. Agnostics (for the most part) don't go to religious services, or pray over their Big Macs, so IMO they're no different from those of us who come right out and say we're atheists...they're just too cowardly to do the same.
If they don't know there's a god, how can they worship one? THAT's the difference.
I think it was while reading Sam Harris's comments about agnostic vs atheist that I realized I was a total hypocrite when I thought of myself as an agnostic. I was still trying to hedge my bets: just in case there was a god I wanted to let it know I was not completely swayed by the dark side. That Sam Harris moment caused me to dig deeper, to read more, and to become what I already was...a complete non-believer...an atheist.
Not long after that I came across Robert Ingersoll's writings and it was like being born again. I became Alfred E. Neuman--"What me worry?" I never actually believed in the first place, but it took me about 57 years to actually accept who I really was.
And the atheists said "amen."
(Ingersoll is a fascinating person from the 19th century) Pardon me for waxing nostalgic, this is some of his quote that meant so much to me:
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899)
"When I became convinced that the universe is natural, that all the ghosts and gods are myths, there entered into my brain, into my soul, into every drop of my blood the sense, the feeling, the joy of freedom. The walls of my prison crumbled and fell. The dungeon was flooded with light and all the bolts and bars and manacles became dust. I was no longer a servant, a serf, or a slave. There was for me no master in all the wide world, not even in infinite space. I was free -- free to think, to express my thoughts -- free to live my own ideal, free to live for myself and those I loved, free to use all my faculties, all my senses, free to spread imagination's wings, free to investigate, to guess and dream and hope, free to judge and determine for myself . . . I was free! I stood erect and fearlessly, joyously faced all worlds."
Thanks for listening to my rant. Peter C.
There's a lot of negativity attached to the word no thanks to theists who use it only in hushed tones when it's to condescend. I actually remember a car ride when I was really small, probably pre-k or kindergarten aged, during which I mentioned that a new kid at my school was atheist. I didn't even know what it meant, so it was just a random thing I was repeating. My mom gasped, then tsked, then said something I don't remember in a quiet voice. I remember feeling like maybe I had said something wrong. I was kinda freaked out.
Annoyingly, the word has bad connotations for many people. It's just a symptom of living in the deluded world we live in.
Most of the negativity comes from the Cold War, and the paranoia about "Godless Communism." Billy Graham, and others, really did a lot of lobbying and damage... getting laws passed to put "In God We Trust" on our paper currency, where it never was before (just on some coins), and adding the undergod to the Pledge of Allegiance.
The money thing is highly unconstitutional, but congressmen and senators are too chicken-hearted to do anything about it. Same for the pledge; there is nothing in the constitution about schoolchildren (or government officials) having to recite a bit of drivel every day. It wasn't even written till 1892, to celebrate Columbus Day...which probably delighted the *bleep!* out of the survivinig tribes of Native Americans (includinig some of my distant ancestors.)
I almost stopped voting for one California senator for taking part in the "undergod" demonstration on the Capitol steps, but the alternative was not acceptable. (I wish they'd put "None of the Above" on ALL ballots.....)
I flip the meaning of this word by using it as a primary self-identifier and then challenging the misperceptions that arise. We are a growing portion of the U.S. population, and will only be able to exert influence to improve our culture if we speak up.
I know what you mean when you say that the religious see "atheist" as a bad word, at least here in America. We're the hated minority. Here's the answer...
IT'S NOT THAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD -IT'S THAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING. That and you're also in direct contradiction to what the religious are investing their lives in.
If someone says they're Buddhist on the other hand, hey there's no problem. Buddhist don't have a god, but they do have teachings to follow. The Buddhist has a glass that can be shown to be full -like all the other religions. The free-thinking atheist has a supposedly empty glass that could potentially be filled with all the bad things in the world.
With a supposedly empty glass, they can point at the atheist and say "you have no moral guide", "you don't see the truth we see", "you can be corrupted easily", "how can anyone trust you"...
Stay tuned though, soon you can fill your glass with Orderism -an ideology for the non-theist.
"I'm an Orderist"
Actually, it's not that I don't believe in anything. It's not at all that I have an "empty glass". Orderism? How does chaos fit into that? lol.

"Allen-chasing Mutant-busting Tumble-popping Action!!"TumblePop was an Arcade Game made by Data East Corporation in 1991 which is now considered something of a Cult Classic, since it received only one port for Game Boy and nothing else. It's an Elimination Platformer featuring a couple of kids armed with vacuum cleaners who travel around the world to defeat various creatures and monsters: they suck the monsters up into the canisters of their weapon and then release them at high speed to create big balls of creatures that tumble around the levels, knocking down everything in their path...

"These address labels are the perfect partner to the graduation announcements. We knew most of the out of state people these were sent to were not coming. They would be sending cards and gifts, our daughter was already relocated to a different state and needed to have gifts and cards sent to her. These were perfect."
"I ordered these for my daughter's graduation announcements. So cute! I liked how I was able to change the font size and style according to my personal taste. Very easy to do online and now I don't have to write out my return address a hundred times! :)"
"I loved that we could easily add matching address labels to our order. They complemented our Graduation Announcements perfectly! Very classy finish!"
"Well, this was the only one I didn't get in the mail. I calle customer service and they were incredibly kind and said the would reprint and send to me. I think they even sent this thing fed ex to me ! The other lables that were similar were beautiful so I expect thus to be the same."
"Again - I was looking for something that my fiancé would think was masculine enough to put on his mail. He really liked them as well. The size and quality were perfect."

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.

This Wikipedia phenomenon is getting way out of hand. I know it's been said before many times. Graywolf had an interesting post some time ago that stuck in my mind about Google and their love affair with Wikipedia that I decided to expand upon. I set my
scrapers interns to work. Here is the process I went through (the data was pulled on August 12th):
From Wordtracker I pulled the top 1000 long term keywords (last 90 days) and the top 1000 short term keywords (last 48 hours) with offensive terms removed. I downloaded the buzz list from the SEOmoz popular searches tool. I then de-duped and cleaned the list and it came to a final count of 1,792 keywords. I needed to compare this to some other sites with a high level of "domain authority" so I also had my
scrapers neighbors kids run rankings for About.com, Amazon, Craigslist, eBay, and MySpace. First Conclusion: Wikipedia has secret agents inside Google. Not only are they having a love affair with Google but MSN as well. They're just married to Yahoo as they get the least amount of action from them. See the final results for yourself:
Holy Shit Captain Kirk! Wikipedia is the most or nearly the most relevant for almost half of all my searches! I bet Google can even search for Spock and find him faster than you! Give me a break Google. And Yahoo. And MSN. Wikipedia is full of crap all over the place. Where is Encyclopedia Britannica? Wouldn't they also be a little bit relevant for something? Let's look at some terms Wikipedia ranks for in the top 3:
* [search engine optimization] – Currently #1 on every engine and the most relevant source on SEO that exists. Sorry SearchEngineWatch. I guess you and even Danny Sullivan are much less relevant than Wikipedia on SEO.
* [SEO] – See above.
* [text messages] – okay, I suppose in case I don't know what a text message is.
* [boys] – That's creepy.
* [girls] – "A girl is a female child, as opposed to a boy, a male child." Thanks. That deserves a #2 spot.
* [firefox] – (MSN) obviously the Wikipedia entry is more relevant than the actual Firefox page.
* [cheerleaders] – You really think I want to know what a cheerleader is?
* [lap dance] – See above
* [internet] – what is this thing?
* [art] – I'd like to buy some art. Or look at some art. Nope, I get to find out that "Art is a (product of) human activity, made with the intention of stimulating the human senses"
* [booty] – what?
Obviously this could go on and on. I think it's time for all the search engines to take a hard look at the value of Wikipedia and what a trusted domain really is.
** If you would like to download all the data (terms, ranks, etc) from this experiment, you may grab the rar file here.

Location & area
Kalami is without doubt one of the most picturesque bays on the island of Corfu. It is famous for once having been the home of the writer Lawrence Durrell at the White House on the beach front which is now a taverna. Surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees this small coastal village offers both tranquillity and lively local entertainment in an unspoilt, typically Greek location
Having such an enviable location Stratigos courtyard opens out directly onto the pretty pebble beach, with its crystal clear waters perfect for snorkelling; sunbeds are for hire and watersports available or you can wander to one of the excellent tavernas for a spot of lunch.
Kalami has everything you will need traditional tavernas, 2 cocktail bars providing evening entertainment, pool bars for refreshments, snacks and drinks during the day and night, supermarkets, gift shops and tourist offices. In the evenings aside from entertainment to be found in the village, from the small jetty right outside the property boats come in each evening to take you (free of charge) to the neighbouring bay of Agni where there are a further three tavernas to choose from.
There are other fabulous waterside tavernas nearby in the picture postcard bays of Koloura and San Stephanos, Krouzeri and Kerrasia. Should you wish to venture a little further Kassiopi is only 10 minutes drive/sail away and has many shops, restaurants, bars/clubs, beaches, and a pretty harbour area if you feel the need for something a bit livelier.
There are 2 Aquaparks within easy reach, a golf course just outside Corfu Town, horseriding is available with Dimitri from the nearby taverna and scuba diving plus windsurfing is available in Kassiopi.
There are many things to do in Corfu but for sight seeing Corfu Town is not to be missed. It is a wonderful place to visit having plenty to see and do with its Italianate arcades, Venetian fortress and cobbled alleys. It boasts everything from international boutiques to traditional craft shops that line the streets and stay open late into the evening. Aside from shopping you can watch an afternoon of cricket sipping coffee from below the arches of the Liston Arcade or stroll around the square and admire the medieval churches and forts. That is not to mention the Corfu Trail (see for those who love walking and many other attractions on the island.

ESPN insider: Kendall Marshall to Suns
They could find him in this year's NBA Draft.
ESPN.com Senior Writer Andy Katz joined Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo to discuss who the Suns could take with their 13th overall pick. Katz, fresh off the plane from the 2012 NBA Draft Combine, reports the buzz at the workout was whether the Suns promised to draft Dion Waiters of Syracuse.
But whether or not Phoenix did promise the 6-foot-4 shooting guard a spot on their team is irrelevant according to Katz.
"Promises just assure that the team has told [the player's] agent that if he slips to that pick, the team will take him," explained Katz. "Even if [the Suns] made a promise, it wouldn't matter because I don't think Waiters will be there at 13."
Katz also feels Weber State point guard Damian Lillard, who was recently pegged as being a fitting piece to the Suns puzzle, will be off the board by the time Phoenix has it's first round selection.
"That's sort of the way things are shaping up now," Katz said. "They (Lillard and Waiters) are the top two playmakers and then behind them are Austin Rivers and Kendall Marshall in some order."
Rivers has also been linked to the Suns in many mock drafts. The Duke University shooting guard and son of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers has, according to Gambo, the highest star potential of the aforementioned players, but Katz believes there isn't enough on Rivers to make a solid decision.
"He's a player that's a threat to score whenever he has the ball, but I don't think he's a pure point guard. [He isn't] going to run your system as well as you'd like."
That leaves University of North Carolina's Kendall Marshall on the table, a player that has a good chance of being on the board when the 13th pick arises.
But out of all these prospects, who's the best fit in purple and orange?
"Looking at the roster, I think Lillard would deliver more of the overall package. The Suns clearly need a little bit more of a pop going forward long term and can't afford for [the point guard] position to be a non-scoring position," Katz said.
"I'm not saying Marshall isn't a scorer, but he's more of a playmaker, a better sheer point guard. He's a better guy to run your team and I think there's a good chance he'll be available."

Now that the court documents have officially been filed, details regarding Chrysler's ongoing plans to stay in business are becoming a bit less muddy. Two corporations will be created from the dying automaker: a so-called "OldCo" with unwanted bits and liabilities that seem likely to die a slow and painful death through the automaker's Chapter 11 filing, and a "NewCo" that contains the best that the ailing automaker has to offer.
Tellingly, lumped in with the OldCo legal entity are eight plants that now seem likely to be closed down entirely. In addition to plants in south St. Louis, Missouri and Newark, Deleware that are already idle, the following 6 North American plants are in danger:
- Sterling Heights (Mich.) Assembly Plant
- Detroit (Mich.) Axle
- Conner Avenue (Detroit) Assembly
- St. Louis (Mo.) North Plant
- Kenosha (Wisc.) Engine
- Twinsburg (Ohio) Stamping Plant

I recently (4 days ago) became vegetarian… I hear people tend to lose a bit of weight when they transition over… true/false? personal experiences?
I guess I just need to keep eating protein to maintain my weight, which I was getting anyway from things like granola, vegetables, cliff bars, whole grains, and (soy) milk, but I've been doing some reading and they say (whoever "they" are..) that vegetarians generally meet or exceed the daily protein intake requirements without trying too hard…. hmm.
I'm weighing in again soon (after a week of not weighing… I was at my grandma's and eating lots of food with tons of fat and sugar- not to mention I have run twice in 2 weeks due to injuries- so I didn't want to freak myself out), probably later today.

Taylor Color Wireless Weather Station, just in time for Father's Day
Just in time for Father's Day (this Sunday, June 15th) is this Taylor Color Wireless Weather Station, and this one is priced right at just shy of a hundred bucks. Its 3-inch color display shows the temperature and dew point inside and out, and also has a weather radio built in to give you daily reports, as well as warn you of impending doom.
Wondering just how hot it got yesterday? This baby can show you maximum and minimum temps indoors and out, and even shows you the phases of the moon. Too bad there's no wind gauge or barometer. As a glorified thermometer, this one's neat, though, and of all the personal weather stations we've shown you, it's the first with a color display.

For some, the idea of hospice is a little frightening, because hospice certainly is synonymous with end-of-life issues.
However, for nearly 20 teens in the Southland area, hospice is a positive way to interact with the elderly and share kindness, compassion and, sometimes, even pen pal letters with those who might be alone and lonely.
The teens who are volunteering are part of the Little Company of Mary Hospice, which operates out of Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park.
Annamarie Putlak, a nurse at the hospital runs the hospice volunteer program. She said that teens who participate in the program earn service hours but, more importantly, those who volunteer become part of a situation that is a "win-win" in the community.
"This really helps students meet their service hours, but it also unites volunteers, and the spirit among these youngsters spreads the word about hospice," Putlak said.
"Most of the community doesn't know about hospice, and this is a chance to dispel misconceptions. This is a win-win for hospice, the youth who volunteer and the people at nursing homes."
Putlak explained that a major misconception people have about hospice is that the group will somehow hasten a patient's death.
"Instead of hastening a death, we let people die with dignity," Putlak said. "We take away the pain and, in some cases, people in hospice survive longer simply because their symptoms are relieved and because of the extra attention they get from our team."
Carol Krause, a nurse who is a hospice supervisor at Little Company, agreed with Putlak regarding misconceptions of hospice.
"People think those in hospice are giving up," she said. "Hospice is a case where the doctor can no longer cure a patient. This is not giving up, but is a hope for comfort and for peace.
"People think hospice means we will stop a patient's medications. No, that is not true at all. We don't do anything at all to speed up death."
Krause quoted from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization when she said, "All that we do is grounded in the promise that when medical science can no longer add more days to life, it is our mission to add more life to every day."
Putlak explained that becoming a teen volunteer is not difficult. She takes volunteers ages 12 to 18 and, once enrolled, teens need only to go through a four-hour course (a condensed version of an adult's 12-hour course) to prepare them for their service.
"In my training, for example, we teach the youth how to communicate with people who have Alzheimer's," Putlak said. "Some children are afraid of this, so this is good training and, of course, I always accompany the teens when they visit the elderly."
The teens do not participate in any home visits but instead visit seniors at skilled nursing facilities such as Manor Care Health Services, East and West, in Oak Lawn; Evergreen Healthcare Center in Evergreen Park; and Smith Village in Chicago's Beverly community. The appointments are generally after school and on Saturdays.
Putlak also explained that teens do not have to be in touch with someone who is actively dying, so for the most part, teens visit and spend time with the elderly, sometimes playing a Nintendo Wii video game with them. Putlak said she also instituted a pen pal program where some of her volunteers write to seniors.
Putlak's daughter, Christine, volunteered in her mom's program from the time she was in eighth grade. Now 17, Christine is a senior at Evergreen Park Community High School, and she still finds time to work in the hospice program.
Christine admitted that at first she was drawn to the program as a way to fulfill her service hour requirements. Soon, however, she found the program was fun and fulfilling.
"I wasn't used to working with people in hospice, but one time I went to a nursing home, and we played bingo. It was fun," Christine said. "I invited a few friends to go with me and a couple of them did. I think some were tentative but I think some really enjoyed it."
Little Company of Mary Hospice has 61 people in its program, and that number has gone as high as 75. The number of people that can be reached by hospice is dependent upon the number of workers and volunteers the hospice program has because the team wants to be sure to give excellent holistic care to each person on the list.
"We really could use a whole slew of volunteers," Putlak said. "We need hospice volunteers who are willing to go to homes. I'm looking for adult volunteers to help me. I need so many volunteers.
"It is my dream to put together a vigil program where volunteers would be willing to spend part of the day or night at a nursing home or a patient's home at the very end of the patient's life."

Nnedi Okorafor Wins World Fantasy Award
Novelist Nnedi Okorafor has won the World Fantasy Award for her novel, Who Fears Death.
Author Jeff VanderMeer described the book: "[The novel] is a powerful combination of science fiction, fantasy, African folklore, and stark realism. It tells the story of Onyesonwu, a woman of extraordinary powers in a post-apocalyptic West Africa, a world of perils and mysteries, of lost technologies and brutal wars. Onyesonwu's name means "Who fears death?", and her birth is the result of rape used as a weapon in battle; this legacy affects the woman she becomes, and the novel portrays her education as a sorceress and her quest to bring order and peace to her life and world."
The announcement was made at the World Fantasy Convention in San Diego. We've included the other award winners below…

I like the Hotel Milan, which is where I'm staying in Panama City. Clean, quiet, well equipped and at a very reasonable price for jubilados. But the restaurant has to set some sort of new low for food, even for Panama. One of the problems we've always had with the quality of food here is that almost everything tastes old, for whatever reason. This morning, the hotel restaurant somehow managed to ruin toast with that flavor. I think it was what passed for butter. Whatever it was, the toast was inedible, the eggs barely so, the "ham" unspeakable. I think that Life is saying to me, "Joyce, you made a really good choice and here's the reason why you're moving to Italy."
Long day today. I've arranged with a taxi driver to pick me up here at the hotel, take me to the US Embassy, and then to Tocumen. I can't check in for my KLM flight until 4:30, so I'll be hours in the airport section outside security, which every airport in Panama seems to have made as uncomfortable as possible. Last time, with the kind of luck that strikes once in a lifetime, I just happened to be sitting next to a man from–Rome! Of all places! He was waiting for a flight to Spain that left about an hour earlier than mine, so we chatted for hours–in Spanish. Neither his English nor my Italian was up to any extended conversation so we wound up speaking Spanish!
But we did talk a little in Italian. Each region of the country, as you might expect, has an accent. Milanese are famous for their slurred "rs"; I have yet to meet someone from that area so I can't say what that sounds like. But after a while, I thought I picked up a softening of some consonant diphthongs that I've never heard before.
Sicilians speak Italian with what I've read as being a lilting accent. What I did notice is that they lower significantly the range of the last two syllables in a sentence, which is utterly lovely. Fo instance, if you say "Vado a Roma" (I'm going to Rome) "Vado a" is spoken at one pitch and then you drop the last two syllables, Roma, about an octave. I found myself doing it after about a week.
Of course, I've forgotten any Italian I've ever known by this time, but I know I'll pick it up again. Everything else aside, one of the main reasons we want to live in an all-Sicilian neighborhood is to do the immersion thing: speak only Italian, learn to fit in as best as we can as fast as we can. We'll never blend in totally–that's impossible at our age. But we sure can mix well.
So far, I seem to be avoiding Mary's cold, which is almost miraculous. We'll see what happens later on today when I finally sit down at the airport, and relax for the next two days. Nothing much I can do inside an aluminum tube traveling 6 miles above the planet except watch the flight tracker, which I really enjoy. Goes to show you how sensory deprived I've been.
There are two boxes with Mary, a small one of mostly US Civil War books that I can't replace on Kindle (as well as an out-of-print hard cover edition of the diaries of Gideon Welles, Lincoln's Secretary of the Navy), and a larger box of things I can't bear to give up: a frog candelabra that I've had for over 20 years, two "boys" singing away as they hold uyp candles, a Hopi kachina doll that I bought in AZ on a visit to my brother, two Met Museum of Art reprints of beautiful Japanese watercolor paintings of cats, and a few other things. With me are two suitcases: one large, but not really large and one that can be carried on board. Together, both weigh 22 kg. The large one contains mostly winter clothes that I kept when we moved to Panama and that will come n handy during winter in Ragusa or wherever we are. And that is the sum total of my belongings after 76 years of life that I'm taking with me. Well, I've always secretly wanted to be a Buddhist monk (as well as a Formula I race car driver), so it seems fitting.
OK, so next stop is Ragusa.

However, the U.S. still has 86,000 troops engaged in Operation Enduring Freedom, even as some coalition members are now finishing up their deployments. Also this month, coalition troops have curtailed joint operations with Afghan Army and police forces, due to increased attacks on foreign soldiers by members of the Afghan forces -- and heightened tensions resulting from widespread anger over an anti-Islam movie produced in the U.S. Gathered here are images of those involved in this conflict over the past month, as part of the ongoing series here on Afghanistan.

Wow. Its Boxing Day already.. time really flies when you're on holidays… doesn't it?
I can't believe Christmas is already over and we're approaching the new year. I feel like this year has passed by way too fast!! Santa baby, I want my time back.
Every time it comes to a new year, I always feel like I need a change. I don't like to remain the same all the time because I like to give myself a fresh and different look every year. If you follow my blog, you will see my hair change drastically over the years.
However, this year, I've decided not to waste time & money on hair extensions (mainly because I already have them in. haha), hair dye and hair cuts, I've gone for fastest, easiest and most affordable option – wigs.
To be honest, when I think of wigs, I usually think of old men and women who are having hair issues. I think of bald men getting their wigs pulled off.. and all those other cartoon scenes. But KKcenterHK has introduced me to wigs that can be worn to party.
This upcoming year, my goal will be to grow out my natural rapunzel and to stop killing it like I used to.. in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. I will not cut my natural hair anymore.
Gills wigs are the best because they fit nicely on your head and you can easily comb it to position and style it correctly. You can also use a low heat styling tool to it.. such as a hair drier to keep it from deforming. Most importantly, it's affordable!
The first wig I'm wearing is a cute A-line bob.
I chose the colour "2T33″ – which is a dark brown, because I didn't want the wig to look too shiny and fake. I love the colour in real life!!! It's definitely a colour I've been trying to get my hair colour to be. A tinge of brown/red, but mainly black indoors.
The second wig I'm wearing is a messier short black wig. I chose the shade black in this wig because I wanted to see the difference between the dark brown and the black, and to see if it would look really dolly and fake.
It didn't fail to disappoint, but this wig seemed to be alot harder to style than I had imagined. I had to comb the fringe left & right, front and back to get it right. Still doesn't look exactly like the model though..
Sorrrrry if the two pictures look very similar. I wasn't happy with any of the other pictures taken. LOL.
See me with first wig on live on my youtube.
Apart from wigs, KKcenterHK also sent me some false eyelashes that I'm lovin'. These really remind me of some korean eyelashes, but are much more easily accessible for me now.. since they are sold on this website which ships worldwide. I haven't worn these eyelashes on yet, so I will not comment on their comfort level, but they are very nicely designed.
All of these designs are plastic, so are very dramatic really make your eyes stand out.
In no particular order, these are the eyelashes I was sent.
My favourite, though, being the first one which really reminds me of Jewerich eyelashes which really create the amazing gyaru large round eyes.
The reason why I love false eyelashes so much is because they can create a look you'll never be able to create with your natural eyelashes no matter how long your natural lashes are.
This is because, false eyelashes are designed by using different lengths and designs to create the most desired eye shape!! False eyelashes can really change your eye shape!!
For example, the second pair can create an instant cat eye, whilst the first second can create a round large open eye shape.
If you understand false eyelashes enough, you will too realise that the theory behind it is not as simple as choosing the cheapest pair! (^__^)"
For more choices of false eyelashes and wigs, visit KKCENTERHK.

You look great in that wig :-) Nice to see a different look, even though like your natural hair better :-)
You have just made me even more desperate to buy some wigs! I have a straight blonde one but I've had it for a long, long time now and it's become quite ratted so I can't wear it 。゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。. The lashes are gorgeous too. I really want to pick up a pair of the criss-cross ones.
The wigs look so natural!
And I love the lashes! I've been trying to get into wearing false lashes lately. I agree w/ your post, they def allow for you to create a nice look you can't achieve w/ natural lashes :)
xox, Lisa
welcome to the world of wigs lol. I love them Because i dont have to damage my hair to get variety of styles hehe
Wow, I didn't knew this page!
I use wigs a lot, I used to wear Visual Kei style so I dyed my hair a lot in fantasy colors such as magenta and violet, so it's kinda tired right know… also that hair style doesn't match with the gyaru style so I started use wigs a lot, is a good way to chage your style soon and let you hair grow and rest~
I look through the page you posted 'cause the problem I have with my wigs is that they don't fit my head -I have a small one…- so the are always moving and I'm afraid someday they fal :S
Have a nice Holidays, Janice <3
vava voom – i love the first wig on you. very hong kong glamourous xo
I love those wigs!! Thanks for sharing the site, I just might get one~
They look really good on you :D
The first wig looks great! I'm not loving the second one though — maybe too black?
thanks so much for sharing this site! i cant believe how affordable the wigs are!
you are such a lovely girl and also, one of my favourite bloggers! youre always willing to share makeup or beauty tips with your readers :)
you def. have a face for everything! :)
Super cute wigs! The A-Line Bob looks really natural!
Kisses, Melanie
How thick is the wig? I mean if you wear a wig it is possible to wear a hat or a cap, too?
Thank you <3
wow, i like your short wigs! do you prefer short wigs more or long wigs?? you should do more wig reviews for long wigs!! I buy a lot of my wigs from HimeCastle online. It's really cheap and has good qualities!

Crazytarium - (by Mohammad Dabiri) - Universal App
Last edited by Echoseven; 11-29-2012 at 03:19 AM..
Not normally keen on games with one touch controls but this looks very good, going to be an expensive night tonight !
Looks like it could be fun, and the graphics look sweet. I'm curious, but will wait for impressions from others.
Looks like my kind of fun!
Really liking this. Tons of levels. Simple gameplay but works very well. You go in one direction, hit a wall and you change dirdction. Have to try and get all 3 pills before you each the cup (need a minimum of one). Some levels are quite tricky
A nice puzzle platformer. Well worth picking up. Graphics are superb
Game Impressions
My type of game is the physics puzzle type like Monster Island, Hungry Turtle, Little Lost Chick, Snail Bob, Rat Fishing. Crazytarium looked more like a platformer than a puzzle game but it actually really is both and done very well. I'm a few levels into the game now and I like it so far. I'm curious how the game will progress. I will post an update when I have passed more levels.
The crazy guy, once you wake him up, takes off and doesn't stop. When reaching a wall, he simply changes direction. By tapping anywhere on the screen, you make him jump. So that sounds like a (rather simple) platformer, right? The puzzle aspect is that you will need to determine a route through the level by timing your jumps. So you jump depending on your location and the direction you're going and that way reach other (e.g. higher) corners of the level.
Per level you receive a score for number of pills collected and a time bonus. Assuming you collect all pills, more optimal routes win more points because of the time bonus, making the game competitive.
Being positive overall, I have a few problems with the game as well.
At the beginning of a level, the screen is kept quite dark (to indicate the crazy guy is sleeping and that you need to wake him up to start the level). But this is the moment where you need to study which route you are going to take, where to jump etcetera. This is not good game ergonomics.
Then, unfortunateley there is no way to see a level's high score once you already have played it before. However, you do get to see it when you improve a high score. But it does mean you're not going to be able to look back a score when there is no improvement possible anymore in a level.
And last but not least, this game desperately needs Game Center integration (at least individual world totals, and game total)! So for competitive players, like me, it is not as much fun as it could be.
UPDATE after having almost finished the game.
I'm well into the last and third level pack now and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with how the game progressed. There are a few clever mechanics and ideas, but overall, it has been thin. Too little variation. Plus there is not much content, in an hour you get through the game. On top of that, not having GC integration, there is no replay value. Also, the puzzle aspect is not that great. It is too simple. As comparison, I have been playing a lot Rat Fishing lately, and that game really made me think and made me go "yesss!" many times.
Some more usability issues that I encountered:
When retrying a level, or when I failed a level, there is a bright white transition screen. Quite annoying (and maybe battery eating).
In the level pack screen showing the 24 level entry points, it is really hard to see how many pills you have collected for each level. So it is hard to see which level needs improvement
I still think it has some potential. Adding game center should be easy. Adding more content and variation also will improve value. Maybe increasing the size of the levels adds some needed complexity.
I gave it three stars.
In summary:
- interesting puzzle platformer with potential but too easy and with too little variation as it is now
- thin on content (one hour of game play)
- no game center integration (no replay value)
- has usability issues (cannot see past high scores; dark level start screen; annoying white flashes when restarting a level)

J.B. Hunt 4Q Net Up Nearly 16 Percent
by Lance Turner
Posted 1/24/2013 10:10 am
Updated 2 years ago
J. B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. of Lowell on Thursday announced record fourth quarter 2012 net earnings of $84 million, or 70 cents per share, up about 16 percent from net earnings of $72.6 million, or 61 cents per share, during the same quarter last year.
The logistics company attributed the profit growth to more revenue, effective cost controls and lower borrowing costs
The company also reported operating revenue of $1.34 billion, up from $1.2 billion in the same quarter last year. In a news release, the company said 11 percent load growth in its Intermodal segment (JBI) helped drive a 13 percent increase in segment revenue.
Revenue also rose in its Dedicated Contract Services (DCS) segment, up 9 percent as the division added new accounts. J.B. Hunt's Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS) segment revenue increased 30 percent on a 47 percent rise in load volume.
But the company's Truck (JBT) segment revenue decreased 12 percent primarily from a 19 percent reduction in fleet size. In all, total operating revenue for the quarter, excluding fuel surcharges, increased about 10 percent from the same quarter last year.
J.B. Hunt noted that fourth quarter 2011 results included $3.9 million of pretax expense related to severance agreements for executive retirees and a charitable contribution, which reduced net earnings by 2 cents per diluted share.
Operating income for the fourth quarter increased to $143.3 million from $122.3 million in the same quarter last year, mainly due to higher revenue on greater load volumes, "improved network balance" in its JBI segment, new incremental customer accounts in DCS, and greater load volumes and better gross margins in ICS. The company said the improvements were partially offset by increased costs across almost all cost categories.
