The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

A surprising result: With Tmax-100 (TMX), D316 acts like a compensating developer. Here's the graph of D316 and XTOL:
Compared with XTOL, D316 has (1) a slightly higher toe (giving a bit higher film-speed), (2) same midtones, and (3) compressed highlights. With most films, D316 gives the same or higher shoulder; with TMX, the shoulder is lower and sooner. While helpful for high contrast scenes, this is supposed to be a general purpose developer. The leader density is also lower (2.11 vs 2.28).
Any idea why this happened? I believe that compensation occurs due to either a drop in pH (poor buffering) or developer starvation. D316's buffer/phenidone ratio is better than XTOL. Its AA/phenidone and sulfite/phenidone ratios are similar, so why would the phenidone be starving?
Is this simply a case of underdevelopment?
Would multiplying the amount of both sulfite and concentrate by 1.5x or 2x help?
Or perhaps boost the sulfite in order to boost pH closer to 8.2?
Mark Overton
@Bruce: When I'm done with Tmax-100, I'll test Delta-100.

Are You a Dot or Dot-Dot-Dot?
By Zabrina A. Bakar
Recently I had finished a task which was supposed to be completed sometime ago. I thank my Lord for that. The feeling of relief that came after performing the much awaited assignment was absolutely incredible. It was like a heavy burden suddenly being taken off my shoulder. And at the same time, my mind was immediately freed from having to constantly thinking about it.
At last!
Being born in a free country and had never known what suppression meant, for the first time I could actually taste for a bit what freedom and liberation felt!
Ok, it's an exaggeration at some level, but I really do feel good about it. Really good.
That very feeling of relief had me thinking. Why didn't I finish off the work earlier? What was stopping me from putting that much awaited full stop to that task? Why did I choose to have the dot-dot-dot for a long time instead of getting that one absolute, definite and last dot; and put an end to all the potential dots?
I tried to think of the reasons of why I kept on postponing that one particular task.
Then, it occurred to me what I was doing. I was a- get ready for this – a procrastinator!
Yikes! I never thought I could be one, but, I think I just was!
I felt so foolish remembering this one quote by Baltasar Graciánn …
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Yup, I know! This very quote had made me felt like kind of silly. It really does.
Mr. Graciann is totally right. If I had finished off the task as and when I received it, I could have saved myself from so much headaches and perhaps heartaches too. And get to become a wise person for once!
But silly me for listening to the whispers of the procrastinator-in-me and decided to put off doing that particular task. Thus, landing me on the much deserving title of a fool!
Oh no…
All these while, it had always made sense as to why that particular task was not included in my things-to-do-today list. It was always that other things are more important, crucial and critical to get done as compared to this one task.
This was when I remembered reading the words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him),
"Lose no time to do good deeds before you are caught up by one of seven calamities awaiting you: a starvation which may impair your wisdom; a prosperity which may mislead you; an ailment which may damage your health; an old age which may harm your senses; a sudden death; the Dajjal (Antichrist); or Doomsday, which is indeed the hardest and most bitter." [at-Tirmidhi, al-Baihaqi]
His advice was absolutely right on the dot. I knew I should have had the urgency to perform that task before any obstacles as above arises.
I felt so thankful to my Lord that none of the seven calamities actually 'visited' me during my procrastination period.
If it did, I can tell you that I would be the sorriest person on earth! I seek my Lord's protection from them all.
As I pondered upon this silly behaviour of mine, I knew that I needed to find a remedy of how I could be a more energetic person every single day of my life and could leave the habit of procrastinating for good. I need help. I know I do.
Then, I realized something. I must take control of what is going on in my head.
The whispers of my own weak self must be change to a positive one if I want to get that much needed zest in my life.
It means that I have made that choice. Not others. Me.
Let me describe a picture I found at a flee market that explains how ridiculous I was as a procrastinator.
Before that, have you ever seen a picture frame that carries motivation messages such as 'Teamwork – There is no I in TEAM' and it has a picture of a group of people doing work together?
Now, imagine that you are looking at a similar picture frame concept.
But, this time, the frame has no picture in it. It is an empty frame. At the bottom of the frame, there is a caption that says ' Procrastination – I will find the picture to put here later'.
Funny, isn't it? I felt that the picture frame is me at some point of time.
I do realize that I have some empty frames which are waiting for some pictures. So, I have decided to put some pictures into them right now. Not later, now.
I am so determined that from now on, every time I feel that I am slipping into becoming one lazy procrastinator, I would reflect on the picture above. And I am going to paint some pictures that are worthy of my frame.
First of all, let me go and look for all the empty frames I have been secretly hiding from public's view.
Ahh…I found one already. Let me get a brush, apron and lots of colors.
What about you my friends? Is procrastination your middle name? Perhaps not all the time, but, sometimes? Are there any of your picture frames which are empty? Do you hide any empty frames in your closet like me? Do you think it's time to take them all out now?
I am sure you already know what pictures should go with which frames right? Why not fill the empty frames?
Hey, I have an extra brush. Wanna do this together? Here, this is the brush and an apron for you. I can throw in the painter's hat if you need one too! ☺
Let us fill up our frames with beautiful pictures and be a great painter ourselves!
As how Pablo Picasso once said,
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
Let us all put the last dot in our dot-dot-dots…
Ready? Absolutely!

Solid Bamboo Crew Socks
Thin and Soft
So, these were thinner than other bamboo socks I had purchased through a different retailer. They are still the pleasantly soft bamboo material I was looking for. They would work well for wearing with a pair of dress flats and slacks. I think they still work well as a "sock liner" with my wool socks and cowboy boots to keep my toes warmer. As another reviewer wrote - these are a bit overly packaged by the pair. but not a deal breaker. Since the style indicator only allows only "Not Good" or "Great" - I went with "Not Good". They are plain - it's okay, just nothing about it "Wow"d me.

Love these socks they are so comfy and soft just what I was looking for.
November 18, 2014
Comfort Plus!
I bought 20 pairs of these dressy, soft, and comfortable socks. (Replaced all my old socks.) Got 10 more in the dark blue with the floral weave - makes sorting laundry easy!
Have had them nearly a year and no signs of wearing out, plus enjoy the softness & comfort of these socks in winter and summer.
Many smiles!!

Fits well and comfortable
Second time ordered, 6 pair this time . Love these socks, looks great with slacks and very comfortable!

Hard to see what's going on in that photo – lovely looking bike though. I think 100mm hardtails are underrated at the mo.
Sorry! Go to http://www.singletrackworld.com/reviews/long-termers-benjis-kinesis-decade-virsa/ for lots of clear pics of it

Do Oval do aluminium 27.2mm 400mm seatposts…? -
Yes! An 'M600′ 400mm post weighs 220g. Need one??
I really want one of these but i fear i'm too lanky
That one looks like a 19.5″…? How tall are you benji? I'm 6'2″ish.. -
It's the 20in size (biggest they do).
I'm just over 6ft, long legs
You'd prob be okay (esp. if you run longer-than-80mm stems and a layback seatpost). -
Im 6'1″ i run mine with a layback post and a 60mm its a good fit for me.
been rollin' mine S/S with a 90mm stem and longish old carbon s/post I had in the shed off an old Allez, large frame (in green obviously) fits me great and I'm 6'4″ (but I've got short legs!!!(32″))… best hardtail I've ridden in a long, long time…
Anybody give me a feeling how it might be with a set of Bonty carbon rigid fprks upfront? I think they are 420mm, but I've no idea how that equates to modern forks.
My shonky old do anything kona could be retired for one of these..

As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption - even murder and genocide - generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie.
In Lying, bestselling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie. He focuses on "white" lies - those lies we tell for the purpose of sparing people discomfort - for these are the lies that most often tempt us. And they tend to be the only lies that good people tell while imagining that they are being good in the process.
©2013 Sam Harris (P)2013 Sam Harris
"This essay is quite brilliant. (I was hoping it would be, so I wouldn't have to lie.) I honestly loved it from beginning to end. Lying is the most thought-provoking read of the year." (Ricky Gervais)
"Humans have evolved to lie well, and no doubt you've seen the social lubrication at work. In many cases, we might not think of it as a true lie: perhaps a 'white' lie once in a blue moon, the omission of a sensitive detail here and there, false encouragement of others when we see no benefit in dashing someone's hopes, and the list goes on. In Lying, Sam Harris demonstrates how to benefit from being brutally - but pragmatically - honest. It's a compelling little book with a big impact." (Tim Ferriss author of the number-one New York Times best sellers The 4-Hour Body and The 4-Hour Workweek.)
"In this brief but illuminating work, Sam Harris applies his characteristically calm and sensible logic to a subject that affects us all: the human capacity to lie. And by the book's end, Harris has compelled you to lead a better life because the benefits of telling the truth far outweigh the cost of lies - to yourself, to others, and to society." (Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysicist, American Museum of Natural History)
"Inspirational, quick read"
I'm writing this review months after listening. I enjoyed the book at the time, but what has me inspired to come back and write a review is the fact that the general premise of this book has stuck with me so well. I used to routinely tell seemingly innocent lies to grease the wheels of easy social interaction. Small things, not big boldface lies. Morality totally aside, the author contends that everyone would benefit from committing to being truthful. Personally, I now find that I really enjoy the authenticity of owning and saying the truth in even the smallest of circumstances. I don't mean hurting people's feelings or anything like that. There is certainly diplomacy and kindness to consider, too. This book argues for the premise that it's just plain smart, emboldening and genuine to be an honest, straightforward truth-teller.

""Telling The Truth..."
is being aware of what the truth is in any given moment..." This is perhaps the most pivotal line in Sam Harris' challenging essay on lying and truth telling. We must first be perfectly honest with ourselves before we can be honest with others. (Consider Emily Dickinson's "...we hide ourselves behind ourselves..." or a line from the sitcom "Community:" the biggest lies are told six inches from the bathroom mirror...") Then it all boils down to "do unto others." Harris very poignantly asked us how we would want people to deal with us on a daily basis. All, right, in way, we want politicians to "tell us what we want to hear," but if we go by rule one, being aware of the truth in any given moment, wouldn't we want the truth always given to us straight? Of course, where we are going to cringe is not with extramarital affairs, financial cheats and calculated harm, but rather with the everyday, work-a-day social lying. "Do I look good in this dress?..." "Does my son's behavior bother you?..." "Are you free to come to my party on Friday night?..." Harris makes a compelling argument--if one not all of us are probably going to run out and implement immediately--that the truth can be told in ALL situations, that these little social situations can be handled TACTFULLY, but that tactfully doesn't have to skirt the truth. In a writing class I teach based in Theories Of Morality, I tell this true story: One evening, I was teaching a five-hour block of college English classes, and it was 6:50, and I had not had any dinner and only a fairly sparse lunch. My only chance was to get to the student union and the commissary for a quick slice of dried out pizza before it closed at 7:00 and my next class started. I had ten minutes to cram some bad food in my mouth before pressing on to my next class, and a female student was leisurely strolling beside me, speaking to me about a personal manner of no earth-shattering import. I was trying to be polite and listen and respond appropriately, barely able to make out the words being spoken for the screams of hunger my body was giving forth. The student would not pick up the pace or pick up the silent visual cues that usually say "all right, got to get going! [we are done here]." And so, automatically, with no due calculation, I said, smiling gently and touching her on the arm, "you know, I have to hurry by the office to get some papers real quick before my next classes, can I catch you later?" With that, I darted toward Salish Hall, and then, when out of sight of the student, I made a mad dash for the union and got my pizza. At the time, I rationalized that this was simply sparing the student hearing, "getting a slice of crusty, sun-lamp desiccated veggie is more important right now than listening to you babble on!" But Harris says I was not being polite, but rather lazy. And it's true. I could have carefully and tactfully explained my situation to the student in the time it took to reroute to Salish and then back to the union. The small becomes the big after all, and we should not get too used to misrepresenting things, or, before long, we ]might take to George Costanza's immortal [immoral] advice to Jerry: "it's not a lie, if you believe it."
"Confronting oneself"
I liked the way this book made me feel a bit uncomfortable. You don't hear or read these bluntly honest opinions about the type of lies that we often consider socially acceptable (if you think about it, as the author explains, they are harmful). I did not agree with some of his arguments, but the most important thing was that this book made me re-evaluate my approach to life. I also liked the last 30 minutes where he responded to readers' questions. When there are too many books out there in which the authors stretch and repeat the same points over and over again, this to-the-point style was also refreshing.
So much to learn, and so little time to sit down and read. Thanks Audible.
"To tell the truth (or not)"
This was a really enjoyable, short reminder of the importance of telling the truth- always. Harris does a great job of explaining why he doesn't believe there's ever a good time to lie, even though it may seem like it's the best thing to do at the moment; like when a girlfriend asks if a dress makes her look fat. I know life is complicated, but I really like the straightforward way Harris makes his case that honesty really is the best policy.

I listen to learn, gain new perspectives, and grow
That the truth trumps all and it is the medicine to fix almost all of your problems, only because it gives you the chance to learn from them.
Even the most truthful among us can always use a helpful reminder. this book will do that along with learning a few other aspect of lying that you may never considered a lie.
"Simple, Short, Argument Against Lying"
I enjoyed how easy it was to listen to. It kept me engaged and interested without being too difficult for audio format.
I really enjoyed listening to this. It was short, but made a good argument for telling the truth, without being unreasonable.
I regularly lied years ago, and came to my own conclusion that it wasn't worth the mental stress. However I still often tell white lies, or conceal the truth. This book has pushed me further, to aiming to be truthful as often as possible. However this was already something I was working on, so I am probably quite biased because this book was what I wanted to hear.
"Fantastic insight into being honest"
Sam Harris delivers a powerful essay (with some follow-up questions and answers) in this short but powerfully reasoned work.
If, like so many other people, you don't see the harm in "white lies", this might just make you stop and re-consider that position -- I know it did for me.
Trying to be honest, truly honest, is a very scary proposition, but Harris makes a compelling case, illustrating with anecdotes and reason both.
After hearing a story about a family that kept a mother's illness secret from one another, I sat down an talked to my wife about how we would handle any similar situation that might arise in the future. If only for that one story and the result I would give this work the highest recommendation!
There's lots more and it is deep thought that needs reflection, so please don't be put off by the brevity. It's perfectly long enough to lay out the argument for your consideration.
Highest recommendation!
"Required reading for human beings"
You have to train and pass a test to drive a car. Why? Because we're living in a society, and without some agreement on a basic set of rules, chaos ensues and people get hurt. It's a communication problem. Similarly, we all could benefit from everyone being on the same page in regard interpersonal communication.
Just as the fact that you or your associates may be reckless drivers does not invalidate the virtue of traffic laws, the prevalence of liars does not negate the benefits of integrity.
"Good book but skimpy"
This was more like an essay rather than a book. It had some good points for not lying followed by some stories of how people diminished or ruined relationships through lies. At the end, the author answered questions about lying in specific situations (e.g., there is a surprise party -- no, don't lie; tell the person that plans have been made and don't ask anymore). More thought and research should have been given to these situations and been made chapters of their own in the book.
"Interesting essay"
For an Audible 'short' it's an Essay on lying and not a lot else.
Not sure what i expected from the book but i wasn't left with anything more than i'd just listened to a guy talk to me over a dinner meeting.
"Very insightful!"
Worth a listen.. or two. Definitely have some food for thought! I w kills recommend.
"Well worth the purchase price"
I would listen to another book written by Sam Harris but it would have to be cheaper than his other books currently are if narrated by himself because he speaks a little too fast for such brain-food.
I thoroughly enjoyed this little book, I really appreciated the extra section which answers questions raised by readers of the ebook.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my car has a keyless entry system?
A: Do you have any keyless entry remotes? If you do, or if you have had one before on your car, then you know your car has a keyless entry system installed on it.
Also, you can see our Blog/Post dedicated to this question here:
Q: Do you know why my remote just died?
A: Maybe the battery died. Check/Change the battery in your remote. Did you drop it or did it get wet recently? Car remotes are fragile. They can break internally easily if dropped.
Q: How do I find out the Year of my car?
A: Look in the driver's side door jam. There will be a sticker there with some information about your vehicle there. Also, if you have the paperwork from when you bought your car, it will have the year of the car on it. It will also tell you on your insurance card or your registration. Lastly, you can always have us look up the year, by calling us with your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
Q: I am not sure what Model I have? (Example: EX, LX, SE, Limited, etc.)
A: Look at the paperwork from when you purchased your vehicle. It should state the Model and trim. Call the dealer and give them your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), they will be able to tell you as well. Look at the back of your car, truck, van or SUV. Are there letters or numbers on there somewhere?

What is a smart key?
What is a smart key?
Smart keys can go by lots of different names: Keyless Go, Intelligent Key, Smart Access, My Key, Fast Key, and Smart Key.
All of these keys use something called Proximity Technology. Once you are in close "proximity" of your vehicle, your remote key is automatically activated. Somewhere on the outside of your vehicle there is a transceiver or sorts that recognizes your key.
There is also a transceiver located inside the car that will allow you to start the car with your "Smart Key".
Essentially what this means is that you do not need a traditional key to start your vehicle. You would simply hold the key close or keep it in your pocket or purse and push a start button or turn the start dial on your dash.
If you have a key with a metal part that you put into the steering column and turn to start your car, then you do not have a "smart key" system.
What is key cloning?
What is key cloning?
Cloning a key is a process where a key cutter (hardware store or locksmith) uses a special machine to match the code on your existing/working key to a new one that you are having programmed. They will basically insert your old (working) key into their special programming (cloning) machine and it will generate the code to cut and program your new key.
This "cloning" type programming method does not always work. Automotive Manufacturers are getting smarter and are changing the type of transponder chips that are in the keys, making it more difficult to have a key programmed anywhere but at the dealership.
If you still have any questions about transponder chip keys or cloning key blanks please feel free to call us at 866-690-4308 or visit us online at www.carandtruckremotes.com.
What exactly is a transponder key?
What exactly is a transponder key?
These days, most car keys come with a "chip" inside of the head of the key. This is called a transponder key blank. The word transponder is short for transmitter/responder. This transponder chip that is imbedded in the head of your car key keeps the car from being started unless the chip has been programmed. Some also call the transponder chip a disabler since the chip actually disables the car from being started if it is not programmed.
In order to have these transponder (chip) keys programmed you will need to take the key to your local dealer or to a pro automotive locksmith. There the professional can "program" your key (transponder chip) to match your car's ignition code. Usually you will have to provide the dealer or the locksmith with proof of ownership of the vehicle before they will program and cut your new key.
The important thing to remember with a transponder key is that is not enough just to have it cut you must also have the transponder chip programmed so you can start your car. If you have the key cut and not programmed it will unlock the car and turn in the ignition, but it will not turn over the ignition start.

And the best thing, the very best thing of all, is there's time now... there's all the time I need and all the time I want. Time, time, time. There's time enough at last.
Getting ready for National Readathon Day!

And the best thing, the very best thing of all, is there's time now... there's all the time I need and all the time I want. Time, time, time. There's time enough at last.
Getting ready for National Readathon Day!
It's a cold day for a lunchdoodle.
Tomorrow is October!! Holy shit. Part of me is beyond excited and part of me is freaking out because wasn't it just the beginning of August? Wasn't I fresh off my sabbatical and full of ideas and projects and fun things? I was. And then came planning an AIGA conference, and busy stuff at work, and more AIGA stuff, and freelance projects, and social things, and now. Now it's almost October.
But October is MY MONTH. It's the best month. My birthday month. And while the ideas and plans I had lay dormant, they're not dead. There's some shuffle and life left in them yet. It's time to open the windows, let in the fall air, and spend some me-time on me-projects in my month. This means more lunchdoodles (maybe not daily just yet), and some animations, and some lil' comics, and doodles, and holiday cards. More of all the best things, the Halloween themed things, the creepy things, the cute things.
I ain't afraid of no ghosts.
My CSA peaches this year have been some of the sweetest, juiciest, most delicious I've ever had. Every week I'm so delighted to see them in my box, but every one I eat makes me a little bit sad knowing that this joy won't last much longer. And don't even get me started on the tomatoes. For once, I'll be sad to see summer go.
Poor Pete. He never stood a chance.
Lately most of my lunchdoodles have been little comic thumbnails. I haven't posted them because I feel like my lunchdoodles should be more finished, or at least involve ink. Which is silly. Somehow along the way I raised my lunchdoodle standards. So I tuck my thumbnails away figuring I'll ink or flesh them out later, and THEN post them. Instead these thumbnail friends stay deep in the confines of my Moleskine. Much like an antisocial youth living out their life in their parents' basement, the light of day may be seen eventually, but it's a slim chance.
SO I'm going to start posting thumbnails too. Which might actually act as a catalyst to ink some of them up.
Anyway. Got me a watermelon in my CSA box this week! I opened it up AND IT'S YELLOW ON THE INSIDE. My mind and tastebuds have been blown.
Today's lunchdoodle is a special request for a friend. It's a doodle of his friend feeding trolls. I feel there is some political agenda/message/allusion here, and hopefully I haven't offended myself. Either way, drawing trolls is pretty much always a fun time.
It's my first Friday back in the office after my first week back at work. My Friday is winding down with a happy client, some finished work, Beer:30 and soon some Monopoly Deal. It's good to be back.
Today's lunchdoodle is a bit of a sad one. My family dog, Bruce, AKA Poods, had to be put down today. He lived 15 years, double the average age for a dog his size. And his life was quite a great one as far as dog lives go. He had many years free to roam around woods and fields, special spaghetti and hamburger dinners, his own entourage of cats that doted upon and cuddled him regularly, and plenty of love and hugs from my teenage friends, then my little sisters' teenage friends, college friends, and from everyone in our family. Which is probably why he made it so long.
But losing a pet, even an old one, is never easy. I'm happy that Poods will be up in whatever heaven pets go to (which is probably way more awesome than the people version) with his buddy, the late Gomez the Cat. He's in a better place for sure, but if you could send happy thoughts to my mom, they'd be much appreciated.
Didn't have any real ideas today so I just did some doodlin. Oh and don't mind that post-it. I'll be doing a lil' sumthin sumthin with that later.
It's been awhile since I've lunchdoodled. I'm out of practice and feeling rusty.
Has it really been a month since my last Lunchdoodle? Sad. So much has been going on though! Crap tons of AIGA stuff, getting ready to head to PA on Friday FOR A WHOLE WEEK, some illustrations I worked on went live this month which I'll be posting at some point, been meeting new people and working on the 'ol social skills (definitely liking some new people more than others), gave up on the Online Dating train(wreck), got to hang out with the awesomest of all 7 month old nephews in SC a couple weeks ago, working on side illos (to be posted), joined a CSA, started running with Lauren again, been cooking and reading and living and loving life. Oh yeah, and I don't have cancer. That was kind of a big deal.
In day to day news:
• In celebration of joining a CSA I bought a juicer. I'm a little obsessed.
• My life is so full of fruits and vegetables right now. It's fantastic. But I still managed to grow a zit on the corner of my mouth. WTF body. Thirty is not equal to 16. Not by a long shot.
• Ran a mile and a half this morning (which isn't near as far as I was running a few months ago, but hey, it's more running than I can do from my bed).
• Saw TWO dead armadillos on the side of the road this morning. In the same block as the one I saw a couple weeks ago. I find this both fascinating and creepy.
• Just realized today that the movie Freaks is free to watch on Amazon Prime. You now know what my evening plans entail.
• My cats didn't throw up this morning! Yay!
It's the little things. Always love the little things.
Feeling a bit like a lemon today. Trying to put on my rose colored glasses and make lemonade, but it all just tastes like powdered Country Time. Wednesday is a big day and it's looming over me like a dark cloud. And knowing that it's going to muck up the last half of the week just makes me antsier. It's only Monday and I want this week out of my life.
Also, <rant> online dating. </rant>
But in an effort to rose-tint my day: It's beautiful outside. Crazy gorgeous. I walked to the new Subway (I've got a VIP card. NBD. Be jealous, y'all). My clients are all awesome right now. No one's complaining. My inbox is full of happy. And SPAM. But mostly happy. I have just a hint of sunburn from falling asleep in the grass with a good book yesterday. I have zero plans tonight or tomorrow so I plan on making myself extravagant dinners, taking long walks, drawing the crap out of some drawings. And maybe hop over to Crema later for a half-full (not empty) cup of something iced and caffeinated.
I've been absent on the Lunchdoodle front lately. A lot absent. With a lot of reasons I suppose. Last week, this week, and I'm quite sure next week are leaving me with a motherload of emotions. Not little emotions either. Like a T-Rex is going to burst out of my stomach Alien-style emotions. I've spent an evening or two on my couch crying to my cats only to be smiling and laughing the next. I've run the gamut from Misery and Exhaustion (a lingering sinus infection that will. not. leave.), Fear (multiple trips to Vandy for expensive imaging, and another scary appt next week), Sadness (the death of my cousins' grandmother and the Boston marathon bombings), Delight and Giddiness (an upcoming date and the conversations that have surrounded it). It's been a bit of a whirlwind. Butterflies can't even begin to illustrate.
On top of all these feelings, I've got a calendar that is and has been packed with a TEDx conference, birthday dinner, a grill out with friends, happy hours, a concert tonight, AIGA meetings, and day to day work. Life is full right now. In all the best and worst ways. :)
And I'll be honest.. an Olympics (or two) have maybe gone by since I've been on a date with anyone. I might be more nervous and scared (but certainly more excited about) it than I am for next week's appointment. Seems Scary can come in good AND bad packaging.
And if you've got a happy-thought or wish-for-luck to throw my way on both counts, I'd be most appreciative.
I'm taking myself out tonight to see Jurassic Park.. in 3D.. on IMAX. You have no idea my level of excitement for this. It's palpable. I will have popcorn for dinner. I will enjoy 3D glasses. And jump out of my seat at all the moments. That T-Rex is gonna be HUGE. GAH I can't wait. This is better than all the holidays rolled into one.
Inviting dinosaurs to an Easter egg hunt seemed like a good idea at the time...
In celebration of Easter and in antsy anticipation of the extra guilt I'll be feeling for leaving the church this past year, I felt it would be nice to do some spiritual research. While I've officially renounced my beliefs in the J-man (that's *my* personal belief, and I'm not even beginning to think or assume that I'm right), I DO like the idea and believe that there is something out there larger than myself. Whatever name He/She/It goes by, I feel that there's a bigger energy at play. So I signed out a couple books from the library and am TRULY enjoying this book: God on Your Own : Finding A Spiritual Path Outside Religion.
The current chapter I'm on is delving into the history and concept of God as King and King as God in various religions throughout the ages. The problem is, I can't seem to read those lines without thinking "Dog as King" or "King as Dog." And let's be honest, dogs would make better deities than some I've read about, and a better kings too.
SO a Dog King I drew. Complete with biscuit minions, a frisbee follower and a disgruntled cat. Because even with a dog for king, there's no sense in hoping for or expecting a totally peaceful nation. Meow.
Sort of based on a phrase from last night's french lesson. Learning colors and clothing. Won't even go into full detail of the the rabbit trail that led to this. Consists of a college memory involving a homemade yellow banana lamp, barrels of monkeys, Rhonda Wall's 3D fine arts class, and me being too naive to know what the word phallic meant. And not realizing the definition for another 3 years. I'm still embarrassed about it.
So barrels of monkeys, yellow banana lamp, yellow skirt, Duolingo french lesson, today's lunchdoodle.
What a tangled web my mind weaves.
I'm really not sure where this idea came from. ::Shrugs:: Vegetables at a slumber party playing "light as a feather," eating junk food, creepin each other out. I dunno. I can't explain what goes on in my brain sometimes.
It's Friday! I can't focus on anything at all for no reason at all. It's gross outside and is going to be gross this whole weekend. Rainy, chilly and gloomy. I'm dog sitting for a friend which means I'll get to enjoy some QT with a large dog, but also means I'll be driving all over creation back and forth from my apt. to his. I'm equal parts excited and exhausted thinking about it. But hey, it IS the weekend, chores aside. And gosh darn it, I'm going to enjoy every rainy, dog-filled moment of it.
I've been a little absent on the Lunchdoodle front. My apologies. I've been spending my lunchtimes either going out or reading. Sorry excuses, I know. Good news is, I only have one and a half pages left of my lunchdoodle book! Which means it's time to buy a new one. Thinking I might splurge on a watercolor Moleskine. We'll see.
In other news, I'm re-learning French on Duolingo. I studied all through high school and for a few years in college. Even made it my minor before my design class schedule suffocated all chances of taking anything else but design classes. It's been fairly easy getting back into it and my favorite are how random the practice phrases are. So many of them make zero sense, but I like that.
A fun one I had last night was:
"Des poissons mangent du riz" or "Some fish are eating rice."
Couldn't help but draw it. I think these lessons will be providing quite a bit of lunchdoodle inspiration!

I bought this and couldn't really find a use for it. Then I got into the habit of wearing those capri control-top stockings under skirts and clamdiggers in the spring and summer. So, I started sprinkling abit of the power on to keep me dry and I love it! Keeps me feeling fresh and dry all day long. The packaging is awful though, I actually keep it completely closed off and can still sprinkle more than enough out of the container. It has a very pretty, soft vanilla jasmine scent.
Got a (large) sample of this in a swap and am loving it! Very smooth feel and gorgeous scent! Wish LUSH had added sparkles and rose scent to this instead of making the yucky barenaked lady powder!
More reviews by superlibrarian
Got this in a swap. The tub leaks constantly but the scent is wonderful and it does do on your body smooth and silky.
Thanks to the reviews on MUA, I made my first puchase from Lush last week. I NEVER using dusting powder, but I just had to check this out! Silky Underwear is fantastic! I love the scent, and how my skin is left feeling soft and silky. Granted, the packaging is atrocious, but I went to Makeovers, a local beauty supply store, and bought a nice big powder puff -- much more user-friendly now.
LOVE this powder! Like others who posted, I'm not a body powder person, but this stuff won me over. Gorgeous scent (light floral yet with vanilla), silky texture, keeps me dry and comfy yet also moisturizes because of the cocoa butter. An amazing product!
ewww...this smells like sour milk/rotten creamy food...i do detect a little of something good, maybe the gardenia? but this truly does smell sour. i could MAYBE see the scent growing on me, but the sourness is undeniable. again, the shaker can is a pain to work with (only three big holes!) but the texture is quite silky. edited to say: the scent did grow on me, i like it! still sour though but ADDICTIVE. try alkmaar soap, i find that similar.

"This invite came exactly as described/pictured in the example and we received a lot of compliments on it. Paper & printing quality were great, with no smudges/blurred lines/over-saturation. We added a photo of my son and revised the event info to personalize, and all of that came out exactly as we had requested with no mistakes. I ended up using the invite theme for the overall theme of my son's party because I liked it so much!"
"I, along with the invited guests, loved the look and quality of this invitation. It perfectly captured what we wanted to present in a colorful and creative way."
"I used this card for a Thank-you card for my husband's golf theme 60th birthday party. I used a picture of him showing up for the surprise party after completing a golf game. I put 60 on the flag and included his name on the side and wrote a thank-you note across the bottom instead of using it as an invite. The product is once again of high quality and so I was thrilled to send them out. Quite a few of our friends and relatives have commented on the great thank-you card they had received and a few have asked where I got them from, which again I share Tiny Prints information."
"My son loves tractors, so for his second birthday we decided to have a construction party. This invitation was perfect. It was great quality and simple enough for a two year old. Tiny prints shipped quick and they arrived before their expected delivery. I will definitely order again!"
"I love the colors, the quality of the paper and the printing are wonderful. I was impressed when I noticed that I could change the hair color , that was awesome."

Crates and Barrels Beta 0.1
Mar 21, 2009 Full Version 5 commentsThis is the first public Beta release for this Half-Life 2 mod.
Crates and Barrels is a single-player "minigame" mod for Half-Life 2. It is a unique mod for several reasons, most notably for what it is not: it isn't a shooter (first or third person) - it isn't an RPG, strategy, or adventure game - and it doesn't use the Source game engine. What it is, though, is a collection of mini-games which use the Half-Life 2 characters, objects, and textures in several simple and classic video games that are intended for a few moments of comic relief. Written entirely in Visual Basic 2008 and using Managed DirectX 1.1, it is a first for Half-Life 2 mods. You will need Half-Life 2 installed in order to play this mod, as all game content is loaded as needed during gameplay from the Half-Life 2 GCF files.
19 comments by Peppyfool on Mar 21st, 2009
Well, here it is - the first release of another one of my mods. Unlike with my prior mods Todesangst and T2DEF, though, I have the opportunity to release a Beta version and get feedback from players to improve it. My prior two mods were single player story-based mods so once you had played through them, there was little desire to play them again.
Anyway, this Beta contains the six games I mentioned in my last news update. They are all fully functional and I am not aware of any serious deficiencies in the mod. Nevertheless, there will probably be problems and bugs, so please visit the forum link above and post feedback on anything you find wrong (or find right, for that matter, too).
Download now from ModDB and watch a video of 1 of the 6 games below:
This is the first public Beta release for this Half-Life 2 mod.
It runs fine on Vista, but appears to not run on Vista64 yet.
I am guessing it doesn't run on 64 bit systems at all since it's not starting in Win7 x64
1/10 because every single gamemode is corrupt and won't start.
Dude this is so cool I didn't even had Steam on and it worked...
lol is your copy official ot torrented though? XD
this is a late reply but I have official.
very well done! i play this while im listening to music, great way to take a quick dose of hl2 action, 10/10
P.s somtimtes it wont work unless i exit steam :)
Can you upload this in a zip or rar file?
non vista compatible?
Looks great though!
It runs fine on Vista, but appears to not run on Vista64 yet.

Enterprise Social, It's Time To...
Posted by Rob Koplowitz on April 29, 2013
My father was never one to use profanity, with one exception. In those instances when I was taking just too long to make a decision or show progress, he'd say, "Rob, it's time to ... or get off the pot!" We're pretty much at that point with Enterprise Social.
In 2012 Forrester embarked on an extensive research project to determine the business value of collaboration and enterprise social initiatives. The backdrop was straightforward; overall adoption was not at the levels projected by the organizations that had made the investment. Just about half had made the investment in some form, and just about half were waiting for more evidence of true business value.
Through extensive interviews, we discovered that the value was indeed emerging, albeit somewhat slowly. If that's the case, then the question changes from "is there value?" to "how do we accelerate time to value?" The research indicated that when enterprise social solutions and tenets are applied to known business processes with an eye toward increasing the quality through better access to content and expertise, the results are demonstrable. Additional benefits came from removing human latency from processes by applying not only social, but mobile as well. How do you find the low-hanging fruit in your organization? The more case studies there are, the better chance of finding on that would resonate for you. To that end, Forrester has assembled an all-star cast of vendors to discuss specific use cases within their customer bases. The goal of the panel is to discuss business, not products.
Joining me on stage will be:
Adam Pisoni of Yammer
Andy Kershaw of Oracle
Ram Menon, head of tibbr at Tibco
Rob Howard of Telligent
I've known all of these folks for a long time, and I'm honored that they will join me to discuss this at this vital point in time. The shindig will be in Washington DC on May 6 & 7.
Can you expand on...
"when enterprise social solutions and tenets are applied to known business processes with an eye toward increasing the quality through better access to content and expertise, the results are demonstrable."
It sounds like you're saying, "If you implement the system correctly and follow best practices, you'll find genuine success."I don't want to steal your thunder from the conference, but can you elaborate on what strategies might constitute those best practices?
Also, I thought the part, "better access to content and expertise" was the whole point of enterprise social? Or is that the point of your post? That companies don't fully understand why they're implementing social?

The Hobo Lord

Just wondering, the one thing I hated about SR, is that it was basically over after 10 mins if you are down several kills and towers, cuz the enemy gets the entire jungle, gets every dragon, and has more items than you.
There are too many factors involved to say. For the most part yes there is snowballing. How severe? Depends on a lot of different variables.
How is it compared to SR?
The snowballing on this map can potentially be worse than on SR due to the alters alone. If one team locks in the first two alters when the open and then farms well while they are up it's pretty much GG even without kills just on the bonus gold alone. Even then the bonuses to AD and AP the alters give will further help you keep them locked and with the map being as small as it is you pretty much control the rest of the game. Now you can come back but it is a lot harder than on SR.
Simple answer: yes it is worse than SR in its current state.
I agree with Nick. It's easier to snowball hard, but it depends on how good of an advantage you get. I've seen people come back from 10, 15 kills behind.. even more on SR. Here, 10 to 15 kills ahead means something is going wrong with your team's play style. Also, there's simply 2 less people on each team, so there's less variance each teamfight than SR.
I like the space by the wraiths, it provides more area to juke haha
i honestly hve had more comebacks in tt than in summonner's rift, i wouldn't say that snowballing is rare, because it's more common than in summonners but ciomebacksa re also possible, i managed to win a game against a 16/0 kha'zix by the sheer power of altegame ryze, and yesterday we ahd a fed enemy, cho gath and nidalee, we were sined, fiddles and Irelia, fiddles started securing spiders by himself and irelia kept farming, eventually we could win teamfights, and finally won the game, and eys that happenend just yesterday, then we happenned to stumble into a Darius/jax/rumble team and got roflstomped..., so both factors are possible, and be sure to run something to counter Darius, he's on a tier of his own in tt.

Progression to destructive insulitis in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice is linked to the failure of regulatory cells, possibly involving T helper type 2 (Th2) cells. Natural killer (NK) T cells might be involved in diabetes, given their deficiency in NOD mice and the prevention of diabetes by adoptive transfer of alpha/beta double-negative thymocytes. Here, we evaluated the role of NK T cells in diabetes by using transgenic NOD mice expressing the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) alpha chain Valpha14-Jalpha281 characteristic of NK T cells. Precise identification of NK1.1(+) T cells was based on out-cross with congenic NK1.1 NOD mice. All six transgenic lines showed, to various degrees, elevated numbers of NK1.1(+) T cells, enhanced production of interleukin (IL)-4, and increased levels of serum immunoglobulin E. Only the transgenic lines with the largest numbers of NK T cells and the most vigorous burst of IL-4 production were protected from diabetes. Transfer and cotransfer experiments with transgenic splenocytes demonstrated that Valpha14-Jalpha281 transgenic NOD mice, although protected from overt diabetes, developed a diabetogenic T cell repertoire, and that NK T cells actively inhibited the pathogenic action of T cells. These results indicate that the number of NK T cells strongly influences the development of diabetes.

text: The Command & Conquer: Red Alert wiki last edited by bobafettjm on 09/21/14 10:25PM View full history OverviewSomeone helps Albert Einstein alter history by killing Adolf Hitler, and someone plants the idea to invade Europe into Joseph Stalin's head. Instead of preventing World War II they simply change it as Russia invades Europe. Spies lurk, land mines wait, and strange new technologies aid both sides in their struggle for ultimate control. Many new technologies are used by Russia and the Allies including Tesla, the Chronosphere's teleport, Iron Curtain's invulnerability and the Gap Generator's satellite surveillance blocking system. Ore, the most abundant and valuable resource on the planet, is the primary resource that funds the military might of the Soviets & Allies.The War over land and the resources it brings has gotten deadly in this alternate universe as the Soviet Union deploys Mammoth Tanks & Tesla Coils to crush the allies. Not only does the war rage on land, but also in the air and on the oceans. The allies deploy devastating Destroyers & Cruisers while the soviets deploy Submarines to counter the allies' massive navy. In the air the Allies deploy deadly Apache Helicopters while the Soviets deploy Yak & MiG aircraft and helicopters of their own. It's up to the player to decide who will win Soviet Union or the Allied Forces. Command & Conquer Red Alert gives you the opportunity to be more devious, cunning and ruthless than ever before. Easy to play and highly addictive, Command & Conquer Red Alert puts the fate of the world in your hands. On August 31st 2008, EA announced Red Alert as freeware available for download.PlotIn 1946 Trinity, New Mexico Albert Einstein forever altered history,and the world would never be the same.With help from an unnamed assistant Einstein successfully goes back in time and removes Adolf Hitler from existence. Instead of Nazi Germany rising to power, the industrialized and powerful Soviet Union quickly becomes the red menace and a threat to the free world.. Quickly Stalin's plan comes to fruition as nearly all of Europe falls to his unstoppable Soviet war machine. With Great Britain the only free country standing ,hopes are grim. But even though they are outgunned, they are not outsmarted. Using Einsteins Chronosphere mass teleportation device, the allies manage to get behind the Soviet forces, slowly retaking Europe and eventually fight back to Moscow to save themselves from the communist oppressors.Allied EndingFollowing the destruction of the remaining Soviet forces, Allied soldiers find the Stalin buried in the rubble of the former Soviet stronghold. Before recovering Stalin, General Stravos stops them and convinces them to walk away. As the soldiers leave, Stravos stuffs a handkerchief down Stalins throat and places a boulder over his head, walking away with his revenge. This is the canon ending, leading to the events of Red Alert 2.Soviet EndingThe commander finds the Soviets celebrating in the newly conquered Buckingham Palace with Stalin drinking tea. He then finds out that the tea has been poisoned by Nadia and dies. Following Stalin's death, Nadia states that the Soviet Union is under the commander of Nod but is then shot in the back with Kane revealing to be the mastermind behind everything. This is a link to the central Command and Conquer series, the struggle between Nod and the GDI.SoundtrackLike the original Command & Conquer, Red Alert is scored by Frank Klepacki.Hell March (6:26)Radio (4:07)Crush (3:51)Roll Out (3:56)Mud (4:50)Twin Cannon (3:57)Face the Enemy (5:38)Run (5:15)Terminate (5:22)Big Foot (5:17)Workmen (4:46)Militant Force (1:52)Dense (5:00)Vector (4:17)Smash (4:35)
