Stephen Dale's curator insight, January 5, 10:01 AM
Lots to get to grips with here, but well worth reading, not least for the differences between "Block Chain" and "Blockchain" the former a peer-to-peer technology, the latter an organisation). Also discussion on Bitcoins and the next generation social network - Ethereum. This is explained thus:
"Web 1.0 was dominated by large walled gardens like AOL and CompuServe. It sucked, but it provided an on-ramp for millions of non-geeks to consume content on the internet through these centralized providers. Web 2.0 is both social and transactional. Although Facebook is an enormous network, each user only partakes of their own decentralized hub of friends and preferred brands. And Amazon is "the everything store," yet it is also a front for millions of vendors that use its network for marketing and distribution. The emerging distributed web 3.0 is computational in nature. Instead of a social graph calculated by a network like Facebook, or a commerce graph negotiated by Amazon, distributed networks allow individual nodes to calculate their relationship independently to other nodes."

Happy New Year! After 2 weeks and 3 weekends, we are back in school. It was evident we had a little "brain drain" over the holidays. Hopefully we can catch up and get moving by the end of the week. After winter break is when we pick up speed and move full steam ahead.
One of the things I truly believe is that student engagement is dependent on their voice and choice in both the planning and execution of learning. When we include even the youngest of children in the process, we get so much more concentrated effort from them. This concept is the same for adults. Aren't we usually voicing concern as educators how our voice needs to be heard in the decisions made on behalf of our students? When we are excluded from the process of decision making, we are less likely to buy into whatever it is we are being asked to do. We are also less likely to implement changes with fidelity.

Hi Experts,
Is there a constant-time way to find a contact from the contact list using the PIM api if the contact ID is known? Finding a contact using ContactList::items(..) is slow as it seems that it would go to each contact in the contact list in order to find the correct contact even if I provided a filter with a contact containing the exact contact ID (I tested it on 400 contacts and the search did get painfully slow). I thought about building a search index in memory at startup but I'd like to avoid that as it might not scale well for a phonebook that has thousands of contacts without putting in tons of work
Blackberry's PIM extension provides this mechanism that I am looking for: http://www.blackberry.com/developers...a.lang.String)
Many thanks,

James had meetings that lasted more than three hours on Tuesday in Las Vegas, The Associated Press reported.
The free-agent forward did not tip his hand when asked where he plans to play next season, saying only that he had "no complaints" about his situation.
ESPN.com reported that James is to meet with the Miami Heat president Pat Riley on Wednesday in Las Vegas, where James is hosting an annual basketball camp, the LeBron James Skills Academy.
According to ESPN, the meeting between James and Riley will be the first that James has participated in since he opted out of the remaining two years and $42 million on his contract.
There were reports Tuesday that James and Dwyane Wade worked out together in Las Vegas during the morning. Additional reports had the two eating dinner together and going to a club on Monday night.
James has remained silent on his future. After becoming a free agent on July 1, the Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers, his former team, emerged as the front-runners for the four-time league MVP. James has won two NBA titles with the Heat.
Sources told ESPN.com that James is increasingly considering the Cavaliers as an option. ESPN.com reported that James' agent, Rich Paul, has already sat down with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert.
Paul also reportedly had discussions and meetings with the Phoenix Suns, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers. James was not present for those discussions.

December 8 - 17 cunning corsairs: 1. Of Captives and Captains
"Celebmir, one of father's captains, found their ships dashed upon the rocks not far from our eastern borders," Finduilas said. "He came upon them by night and caught them unaware." She looked out the western window at the sun setting over the harbor and added, "It seems Uninen has not yet forsaken us completely; she looses her husband's fury on those who would harm our people, her loyal petitioners."
Denethor did not put much faith in the old superstitions about the Lords of the West, but Finduilas's words still contained some germ of truth. The attacks on Dol Amroth -- and Gondor, if truth be told -- increased as the years passed. The Lady of Dol Amroth might think only of the families spared from yet another Corsair raid, but Denethor saw the promise of future raids predicted and even prevented. A hundred questions sprang to mind, but Denethor knew Imrahil would tell the story best if allowed to do so in his own fashion. He rested his chin in the palm of his hand. "What do you know?"
"Not much yet," Adrahil admitted. "We found them ten days ago, and their arrival at this citadel is only two nights past; they are locked away in the cells in my catacombs."
Denethor smiled at that. Gondorians understood the Corsairs less well than the Prince's subjects did, but the Steward knew more than most, and in this matter at least he shared his wisdom willingly with his son. Denethor knew that the Corsairs were no Orcs; the blood of men still beat in their veins, and the fear of death and the dead could still seize them. Sleeping so close to the dead – and the dead of their sworn enemy for generations, no less – would torment them night and day. Yet Denethor knew other ways, surer and quicker, to get the answers both Dol Amroth and Gondor needed. "There are – devices – in the White Tower to loosen the lying tongue," he said. "If you would but send the men, or even their leader, to the Steward –"
"The same has been said of the agents of Mordor," Finduilas interrupted, her voice flat.
Before Denethor could reply, Adrahil said, "Leave the Corsairs to us, lord; we have 'devices', too, that will convince them to betray the secrets your father craves. And I will give the Corsairs no reason to invent sweet lies." When Denethor did not respond, Adrahil continued, "As for their leader, we found none. Fourteen rowmen, a ship's cook, and the captain's young orderly; no one else. I doubt any of them know much."
"Still, they have each seen the Jade City," Denethor said, "and even the common knowledge of their people may save whole companies of our men."
"We will interrogate them, of course," Finduilas said. "But if you must torture someone, you should find the man who wore this." She walked over to the chest against the wall and produced a tunic, scarlet linen with a serpent preparing to strike embroidered in black silk over the right breast. The hem was torn and smeared with dirt and blood, but Denethor could see that, in proper repair, the tunic would be fit for a prince.
"You say the captain's orderly was among the survivors?" Denethor asked. Then, without waiting for an answer, he continued, "If the servant is here, the lord cannot be far away. Their captain did not perish; I am certain of it. Perhaps he is hiding in the marshes, or has found refuge in some abandoned barn or boathouse." His eyes gleamed with an eagerness that few had ever seen. "If any would hide away as soon as he could, it would be the captain. You must search your country with all haste, before he can cross Anduin and seek his way home."
Adrahil's expression hardened. "The steward's edict carry little weight in these lands. I would not grant even your father the right to order my knights so."
"Yet Dol Amroth should remember she is not unaffected by her neighbors worries," Denethor replied tersely. "What is good for Gondor is good for you as well."
The two lords stared at each other, neither breaking the silence for several seconds. At last Finduilas said, "Possession must count for something. Is there naught that either of you would sacrifice, to retain the prisoners we already have?"
Denethor looked into her eyes, and he noticed what wisdom lurked behind her beauty. Adrahil does well to include her in matters of state, whatever the other lords of father's court might say. Blinded by his goal, Denethor had somehow lost sight of the prince's pride, and his fear of losing his precious power to their larger neighbor. "Very well," Denethor said, "I am sure father will allow you to retain the prisoners until we find their captain. "When we find him, however, we must question him in Gondor."
Adrahil nodded. "That seems fair. And I am sure my captains would welcome Gondor's help in their search, if the steward cares to send them."
"Gondor shall see it done," Denethor said, risking a small smile. Suddenly a thought occurred to him: Thorongil, the newly-sworn captain who swore he had served in Rohan for years. Yet there was something about Adrahil -- the shape of his nose, the glistening silver of his eyes, the timbre of his voice – that reminded Denethor of Thorongil. Was it possible?
"How long passed between the wreck and your captain's finding them, do you think?" Denethor asked.
"I spoke with Celebmir yesterday afternoon," Finduilas volunteered, "and he said that the area he found them in is near uninhabited, and that they could have stayed there unnoticed for weeks. Their food stores were running low, at any point."
So it was possible. Not likely, but certainly possible. Adrahil would search the coast, and Denethor would keep his eyes open as well. Wherever the seventeenth Corsair hid, they would find him out.

Mick Jagger Gets Image Advice From Keith Richards
Friday, July 19, 2013
Rolling Stones member Keith Richards has some advice for his bandmates Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood -- grow old gracefully! The legendary guitarist has reportedly been telling Mick and Ronnie they need to ditch the hair color and go gray like him.
Keith maintains that in addition to looking their age, having a head full of gray hair would be more healthy for the guys because of the alleged damage that long-term coloring can cause.
The Sun reports, "Keith keeps telling Ronnie that him and Mick look ridiculous with their coloured locks and he sends him a ton of information on how you can get cancer from hair dye and how it can put chemicals and toxins into your head. He always says Charlie is the best-looking member of the band now because he looks distinguished with his grey hair and that Ronnie would look better without the dye."
In other Stones news, their documentary, Crossfire Hurricane, has been nominated for four Emmy Awards: Outstanding Documentary Or Nonfiction Special, Outstanding Picture Editing For Nonfiction Programming, Outstanding Sound Editing For Nonfiction Programming (Single Or Multi-Camera), and Outstanding Sound Mixing For Nonfiction Programming. The Primetime Emmy Awards will air on Sunday, September 22nd on CBS.

Gyudon (Japanese Beef Bowl)
When I was a poor college student, one of my favorite places to eat is Yoshinoya, the Japanese fast-food chain specializing in rice bowls, or donburi. If you have tried Yoshinoya, you will know that gyudon, or simmered beef with onion served on top of a bowl of warm steamed rice is their signature dish. As a starving student, gyudon was my perfect meal and I enjoyed eating it. The beef bowl has pretty much launched the Yoshinoya restaurant empire, now with over 1,400 locations in Japan and the world!
Gyudon (牛丼) is a popular dish in Japan. Packed in bento boxes, disposable styrofoam bowl or plastic boxes, gyudon can be can be found pretty much anywhere in Japan: train stations, food section at supermarkets, or local convenient stores such as 7-Eleven. It's also a homey dish that many Japanese home cooks prepare at home. The reason is simple: gyudon is delicious and makes a filling meal. The cooking method of gyudon is very similar to sukiyaki donburi, a recipe that I have shared a couple of months ago. With gyudon, it's actually easier, with easy-to-find everyday ingredients, but the taste is equally tantalizing.
When I first started learning about Japanese cooking, my Japanese friend told me that there are four key ingredients in Japanese cuisine: soy sauce, mirin, sake, and dashi (bonito and kelp stock). She also told me to get a good dashi-based soy sauce or soup base. She said that once I have mastered the harmony of these four key ingredients, I would have mastered basic Japanese recipes. She is absolutely right. Nowsdays, I never run out of my Mizkan Honteri Mirin and Mizkan (Bonito Flavored) Soup Base.
I find gyudon especially hearty and satisfying during the cold fall/winter months. Make a big batch of steamed rice and the simmered beef. When you are ready for dinner, scoop a generous portion of the beef on top of the rice and let the simmered sauce absorbed into the rice. Everyone has a Japanese beef bowl in their hands as they eagerly shovel the beef, onion and rice into their mouth. For the adventurous eater, crack a raw egg on top of the gyudon. If you have leftover, pack it into a bento for your loved ones the next morning.
Gyudon makes a happy meal in my family. Try my gyudon recipe and I hope your family will enjoy it, too.

Mmmm my mouth just watered looking at this. Brings back fond memories of living in Japan!
Looks good, simple and easy. Yoshinoya is a few blocks from my house in LA. I'll give it a try.
LOVE Gyudon! Didn't realize that's what it was called when I was having the beef bowl at Yoshinoya all these years.
It looks so good. Nothing more comforting than beef stirfry over steaming rice. You reckon if I just sear strips of the beef, would it be as good?
Gyudon ahhhh it's making me miss Japan! Lived there for years and I also love tondon….with kimchi! Heavenly!
Bee, by sake do u mean any brand of sake that people drink or is there sake for cooking purpose? Thanks before ;) i love yoshinoya can't wait to try this recipe myself!
I use to live in L.A.and go to a little place on holywood blvd and eat at a place called the beefbowl and would order a bowl called beef bowl please tell me how it's made I love it but don't know how its made.
Hi Bee, I just wanted to say that I admire your work and love your blog. Been coming here for a while now but didn't stop to write to you. This beef dish is one of my favourites and thought the best place for my first comment!
I am an accomplished cook myself and have always been interested in South East Asian food and have learned a lot from your website. Thank you!
Hi, can i use dashi powder instead of the bonito soup base?
Hi, I just tried out the recipe with mixed results. Beef was pretty good, but the sauce/flavour was very weak.
The sake/mirin to soysauce/sugar ratio seems to be a bit off. In most japanese recipes I found, and also in other recipes from you the ratio is the opposite.
I will try double the sauce amount next time and precook it in order to thicken it up a bit.
That all being said, great recipe, thank you very much.
If you are in Japan, try out Chikara Meshi gyudon, it is far from being the traditional one, but very tasty.

is there any other way of making the sauce using halal ingredients?

Supervisors agree to fill several vacant positions
Plumas County supervisors were in the mood to say "yes" May 7 and approved several requests to fill vacant positions.
Social Services Director Elliott Smart received approval to hire a benefits assistance counselor, a social worker, an office assistant and a staff services analyst.
When the board members learned that all of the positions were fully funded, they approved the request with no discussion.
Mental Health Director Kimball Pier asked the board to fill two vacant positions in her department. Since those positions — a fiscal and technical services assistant and a mental health therapist — were also fully funded, the board granted that request without discussion as well.
The board also approved a request from the public works department to allow one of its employees a work week of 10 hours a day four days a week.
The supervisors also approved a request by Lori Beatley of the probation department to transfer money within her department to cover salaries.
Every 15 Minutes
The board became more animated when discussing a request from Sheriff Greg Hagwood to accept $9,999 from the California Highway Patrol to stage Every 15 Minutes at Quincy High School.
The two-day program, which challenges high school students to think about the horrendous consequences that can result from drinking and driving, rotates between Plumas County communities.
"This needs to be done every single year at every high school," Supervisor Kennedy said, adding that it "drives the message home."
Hagwood said that he agreed with Kennedy's sentiment and that holding the events every year at each high school would be preferable to the four-year cycle.
Board Chairman Terry Swofford suggested that the video shot during the event be shown at the high school until a new event is held.
Cost for GIS
The county will now charge for geographic information system services at a rate of $68 per hour.
Planning Director Randy Wilson presented a new fee schedule to the supervisors for their approval.
The resolution adopted by the board reads in part "the County wishes to recover a reasonable portion of the costs associated with development, maintenance, and dissemination of GIS data to reduce the cost burden on other County funds."
Hard copy maps will range in cost from $5 to $14 and information presented on a compact disc or DVD will cost $16.
To the Health Insurance Advisory Committee, the supervisors appointed Public Health Director Mimi Hall and Auditor/Controller Roberta Allen; as well as retired county employee Ernie Eaton; Liz Cortez, representing the confidential employees; Mike Grant, representing the Sheriff's Association; and Jim Boland, representing a government agency.
The board also appointed Cindy Harrell to the Area 2 board of directors for the State Council on Developmental Disabilities, and Jeff Watson to serve on the Greenhorn Community Services District board of directors.

Chinese Mushroom Chicken
Mushroom Chicken
Mushroom chicken is a simple Chinese recipe with mushroom, chicken and zucchini stir-fried in a simple brown sauce. Easy and tasty mushroom chicken recipe.
Originally published on Oct 27, 2009. Updated with new photos.
As much as I love cooking, I don't—and can't—cook every day. If you are a home cook, I am sure you understand what I mean. Some days, you wake up, open the refrigerator, look at the ingredients you have, and your mind just goes blank. You either feel like you run out of cooking ideas, don't know what to cook, don't feel motivated to cook, or simply don't want to cook. It happens to me a lot and that's when I go to the hot food section of Asian grocery stores and buy pre-cooked food.
If you live in California, there are plenty of such establishments, where you can get various types of Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Vietnamese, or Thai dishes. The offerings depend on the type of Asian grocery store you go to. I love Chinese food so I usually go to Chinese grocery store to get them.
Mushroom chicken is one of the dishes I usually get because I love both mushrooms and chicken. It's nothing fancy, but it goes well with rice. I also love zucchini, which adds texture and freshness to the dish. Here is my mushroom chicken recipe—a simple Chinese recipe that you can make at home.

Oh man I know exactly what you mean. There are days that I end up getting full off of potato chips because I do exactly that, open the fridge, shy away from my items and then go ponder what I want to cook. It's a crazy world for us home cookers eh?
Is there a substitute for the Shaoxing wine? I seem to have everything except that 1 teaspoon of wine! Love the simplicity.
Medium dry Sherry.
lovely photos, and a delicious plate, it really looksso yummy and healthy, well done! cheers from london
Love it! Quick and simple.
I usually 打包 from Ranch 99 ;p
Oh man thanks for the recipe. One serving of this is going to last me 3-4 meals and atleast two trips to ranch 99 :) Thanks!!!
I've had success from time to time replacing Shaoxing wine with brandy. Shaoxing wine isn't too hard to find though, and in some cases, you could even try asking your local Chinese restaurant if they'll sell you a bottle. It's a big tall brown bottle with a red label around it, at least the ones I've used look like this.
Dear Bee Yinn,
I've just passed an award on to you. Feel free to come and pick it up over on my blog if you'd like to:
Btw, I've been following your blog for almost 2 years! Keep it up!
Cheers from Malaysia!
Your mushroom chicken recipe is amazing! I tried it out last night for dinner and I'm so glad I did and so sad I didn't find this recipe long before.
Just made this recipe for dinner tonight. Though I'm a real novice stir-fryer, your recipe was so easy to follow that it turned out great. It was super delicious! It is one of the best Asian meals I have made so far, and definitely one of the quickest and easiest too. I can't wait to try my hand at more of your great recipes!
I cooked this the other day and it was delicious… Thanks for the recipe.. I added soy sauce to marinate the chicken to give a little color..
I made this dish last night, and it was delicious. Thanks for the quick and easy recipe!
I didn't have a wok, so I used my 12″ cast iron skillet instead.
You can watch the video of my cook on my site: http://albums.phanfare.com/isolated/pquvc9jX/1/4819660
Can I just use a cooking sherry wine instead of medium dry sherry? honestly,I dont have any idea of what that medium dry sherry is and what I got on my pantry..Will there be a difference on the taste?
Thank you and God Bless!!
I know exactly what you meant because I am having it right now.. Thank you for your website.. at least I have an idea what to cook..
Tried it today without the zucchini it was soooo good! I used chicken drumsticks instead worked perfectly :) Thanks for the recipe!
How many people does this recipe serve? Thanks!
I know how you feel about cooking. Sometimes, you are just not in the mood and lack complete motivation (today is one of those days for me lol).
I love this recipe. In fact, I referred to it in my post about my love for zucchini!
I just made this for lunch and it's very tasty. I added a tad of dark soy at the end for color. No more takeout for me of this dish. Thanks Bee! I also bought your cookbook and tried several recipes all successful just as described — and looking forward to the second one I hope soon :-)
More power to you. I really appreciate that most of your dishes are in small servings (2-3)
Yayyy Im so glad I found this!! :))) yer, but I don't knw where can I find shaoxin wine here in canada… I've seen u using it in so many of ur post so I decided to add one into my pantry :D I don't hav it for now though so can I sub it with like mirin of somethg? Thanks thanks thanks.
This is a WONDERFUL recipe! It is now our favorite. My husband has asked me to add it to our weekly menu! Thank you so much!
This recipe was easy and delicious. I loved it. Thanks!
I was wondering what kind of mushrooms would be best for this? Thank you!
No oyster sauce what can I put instead.
The perfect simple dish!
I used Mirin, available at most grocery stores.
And for some reason I was out of sugar so subbed Kekcap Manis for the soy and sugar.
This wis my new fave all around stirfry sauce:)
When I see both Soy Sauce and Sugar in a sauce recipe, I usually substitute Kecap Manis. I love the rich flavor of the palm sugar in the Kecap Manis.
can I add other veg ie; carrots and onions if so when do I add them? many thanks.

Difficulties with The D-Word? If you can't find the right answers on our Help page, please post in this topic. Ideas for future D-Word releases or projects can be posted here as well.
The farmer and I posted at the same time which caused the space-time continuum to implode.
In reply to James Longley's post on Mon 19 Dec 2011 17:12 UTC :
Let's just continue here, I was the last poster unless you posted after me in which case I wasn't the last poster though I keep on getting a message that there is another post after mine and so maybe it was yours. Or not. So where the fuck is Jet City and I have an unopened bottle of Jura awaiting a partner. And then this post wouldn't post because Roth is posting. GET HER OUT OF HERE! Unless she joins us for a Jura (only another $14.99 for you my dear.)
-opening door for Herman-
No, after you.
-waits till Herman is mid-doorframe then squeezes thru at same time-
Jet City – aka Seattle – they make Boeing planes here.
alright people. move along. nothing to see here.
Maybe I'm dense, but there doesn't seem to be a way to find D-worders by geography. I go to "People" and put in "Boston" or "Massachusetts" as a search term and the only thing that comes up is a guy whose last name is "Boston". Any suggestions?
Try Advanced Search and then put the details in the "Company and Address" box
why cant i post in cameras anymore?
Yes – same problem in cameras!
Re Cameras: Perhaps Deepak Varma, in trying to post his pictures, locked up the topic in some way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll email Peter.
I deleted Deepak's post, and voilà, it's working again.
funny... i finally decide to post a trailer in WIP and it's not working. it's a Vimeo URL and I'm getting the error folks were getting in the past:
There were problems with the following fields:
Embed is not a valid video URL. Please use a URL of a YouTube, Vimeo or Distrify page. (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmciuKsBOi0)
I see on extra TV show; where they were talking about a documentary about dyslexia and recommended for more info see dword.com I have not been able to find it?
Looks as though "D Word" is just part of the title, not a source of info.
I think so; I found what I was looking for; thank you anyway.
When I try to post a link to vimeo (by copying and pasting) I get an error message that the URL is not valid. Any ideas as to what's happening and how to fix it?
I should have said that it was in the Works in Progress topic.
This should be fixed now. Turns out vimeo changed their API and also their standard URLs. I've updated The D-Word to support these changes.
9 minutes Mr Gerard – time to pull the finger out.
Damn them. We're lucky to have you, Peter.
Hey folks – this has come up in the Works in Progress thread: "what is the HIDDEN SECTION?" – I don't quite understand the purpose – aren't all postings visible to all who are logged in as pros? Am I missing an important protocol?
Yes. It's all visible to professionals. By putting something in the hidden section (link directly below posting box) it takes one further click for the reader to see it. We generally encourage really long posts that maybe aren't your own (e.g. an article or job posting you are passing along) to go in the hidden section. Some folks use it for more sensitive information. Many here use it for comedic impact. But if a professional clicks, yes, it's all available to see.

SEC and ESPN announce SEC Network
SEC Digital Network — The Southeastern Conference and ESPN have signed a 20-year agreement through 2034 to create and operate a multiplatform network.
The SEC Network which will launch in August 2014, it was announced today by SEC Commissioner Mike Slive and ESPN President John Skipper. The new network and its accompanying digital platform will air SEC content 24/7 including more than 1,000 events in its first year.
The network will televise approximately 45 SEC football games, more than 100 men's basketball games, 60 women's basketball games, 75 baseball games, and events from across the SEC's 21 sports annually.
Programming will also include studio shows, original content such as SEC Storied, spring football games, signing day and pro days coverage. Hundreds of additional live events from various sports will be offered exclusively on the digital platform. The network and its digital extensions will connect with each SEC institution and create opportunities for each school to produce and develop content.
"The SEC Network will provide an unparalleled fan experience of top quality SEC content presented across the television network and its accompanying digital platforms," stated Slive. "We will increase exposure of SEC athletics programs at all 14 member institutions, as we showcase the incredible student-athletes in our league. The agreement for a network streamlines and completes an overall media rights package that will continue the SEC's leadership for the foreseeable future."
Each weekend throughout the season, the new network will air multiple top-tier matchups from the strongest conference in college football. Since 2006, the SEC has claimed seven consecutive football national championships. In 2011-12, SEC teams won eight national championships: football (Alabama), men's basketball (Kentucky), gymnastics (Alabama), men's indoor track and field (Florida), women's tennis (Florida), women's golf (Alabama), men's outdoor track and field (Florida), and softball (Alabama). Since 1990, the SEC has won 149 national team championships for an average of more than six per year.
Skipper said, "The SEC is unmatched in its success on the field and its popularity with fans nationwide. The new network's top-quality SEC matchups across a range of sports will serve all sports enthusiasts including the most passionate, die-hard SEC fans. Also, it will serve the needs of our multichannel distributors and advertisers by providing extremely attractive programming options across all platforms."
AT&T U-verse has been secured as the network's first national distributor. Their subscribers will have access to an unprecedented amount of SEC content across all platforms. Subscribers receiving the live linear network via a multichannel subscription will also have access to the network on PCs, tablets, smartphones and select gaming devices like Xbox. Additional games and coverage will be available through an authenticated digital offering. Fans looking to learn more about how to get the SEC Network can visit GetSECNetwork.com for more information.
"We are pleased to be involved with the SEC and ESPN at the very beginning of this great alliance," said Jeff Weber, President of Content and Advertising Sales, AT&T. "As the fastest growing and most advanced pay TV service, we want to bring our customers the highest value and most compelling product that we possibly can. Access to the SEC Network, across multiple platforms, will only increase the demand for U-verse."

Castle Waiting is a good one, worth checking out. It's a feel-good book. I'll be interested to hear what you think of Love and Rockets. I've heard nothing but the best of things about it, but that's all second-hand information.
Blacksad is great. Anthropomorphic animals crime noir. So, yeah, right up my alley.
I have reviews for both Castle Waiting and Blacksad at the blog if you are interested in learning more.

Next time I'm going comic shopping, if my funds allow (they should!) I'll pick up the first volume of Strangers in Paradise. November should bring the second Rachel Rising, too, and I'll definitely pick that and possibly his How To Draw... trade up. He's got a great style, and his characterisation is just second-to-none.
As for L&R, from what I can gather its strength depends on who is writing/drawing. The Luna Brothers were fairly consistent with their duties on their few series, but it seems to me that Gilbert and Jaime are pretty independent, so Jaime's stories look and read differently to Gilbert's, even though they're the same series. Jaime's art is more 'realistic' (well, not really), whereas Gilbert goes totally for the massively enhanced women.
No, I mean massively.
Yet, oddly, it seems more natural and respectful than, say, Adam Hughes' big-boobed women. Maybe it's also because Gilbert's women tend to have a figure to back it up.

Hughes can make some beautiful covers, but even at his best he's this shocking mix of Greg Land and Phil Noto.
What do I mean? Well, his women tend to be ridiculously thin and suffer from mono-face. I refer you to his cover for Fairest #1 in which many of the women have shockingly similar faces and many have oddly large busts.
Plus, now I think about it, that cover doesn't quite work. It looks like a bunch of random pictures slapped together.

Venom Issue 13 Circle of Four
I mainly bought this because I found out Blackheart is in it a super villain I think is very underrated.
I'm very pleased that he was done justice. He was able to fool a guy into signing his soul, bring some of Hell to Earth, trick the female Ghost Rider into opening the door to the Hell that is ruled by Mephisto, Blackheart able to get a door to Hell Open with Ghost Rider powering the centrifuge opening the door if Ghost Rider stops spinning the door would reverse plus pull Earth down to Hell, tell his father He'll have more power than he could dream plus torment him for ertenity, and creates Antitheses of Venom (Flash Thompson), X23, Ghost Rider, and Red Hulk using Helians mirror.
A fight between Red Hulk and Venom, X23 finding out about she is being cloned, art was terrific, a large picture shown of Las Vegas being destoryed in a hellish picture includes demons, terrific dialogue including most of what Blackheart says including hwen talking to his Father Mephisto.
Johnny Blaze is shown talking Alejandra at a small restaurant, also helps her out by taking over spinning using his motercycle so Ghost Rider can go fight Blackheart
Even Red Hulk tells X23 he read the Avengers file of him as he said "Easy on The Threats. Read This THing's Avenger's File." "Real.Real Bad."
Art was excellent.
August 27th, 2012, 01:07 AM #893
I thought X-23 was well aware she was a clone of Wolverine?

More comics and thoughts and stuff:
Terry Moore's Echo (Complete Edition) - Quite good. The art is easily the strongest thing about it, and I liked how not all questions were answered, but... that was also a bit of a weakness as some questions seemed to have little-to-no importance at all.
Gilbert Hernandez' Fatima: The Blood Spinners #3 - Weirdest issue yet. Almost grotesque, yet in a way I couldn't put it down. One more to go.
Idolized #1 - Aspen's first superhero series, and also one of their few series that isn't still using the late Michael Turner's art style. This is 'technically' the second issue (after #0), and I'm definitely intrigued to see where this is going.
Archie #636 - Not entirely sure it was worth the wait (or the two copies), but it wasn't bad. It felt unfinished and a little rushed more than anything.
The Best of Archie Comics volume 2 - Pretty much along the same lines as the first volume. Some good stories, some not-so-good ones, same binding that makes it hard to read at times.
Gingerbread Girl - More than once it's narrated by a pidgeon. That is all you need to know.
Velocity #1-4 - Interesting spin-off from Cyberforce. Good humour, fairly good art (sometimes a bit 'fanservice' but seems slightly tongue-in-cheek about it from time to time), and I enjoyed it.
And there's a few more I've read recently but I've forgotten.

Just finished reading the entire Garth Ennis Hitman run and I think it's already one of my favorite DC books.
Fables, I've read up to where the heroes are preparing to raid the Fairy Tale land with the US army. For some reason that turned me off, but I'll try to catch up soon.

I've just started Fables, lets see if it's worth my time! Also wanted to get my hands in Judge Dredd, caught my interest after seeing the movie.

Been reading Grant Morrison's run through the Batman books. It's pretty hit and miss with me. I've enjoyed the Black Glove story line. I also reread Final Crisis and I still think that series was a mess. Pretty art though by Jones and Pacheco. Currently, at the Return of Bruce Wayne. Man, I wish Sprouse would draw more comics. I love his work.
Also been reading the Fury Max series. I enjoy Ennis' take on characters like Fury or Punisher. Especially when he is paired up with an artist as good as Goran Parlov.

I just read 9th, 10th and 11th trades over the course of three days, and I gotta say, the final stretch is quite entertaining. The last volume got a bit predictable, but still, it provided a pretty good wrap up to the portion of the series I want to read.

Celebrating the Sea Scout Centennial
2012 is our time to celebrate the Centennial of Sea Scouts. Boy Scout Councils are encouraged to organize one Centennial event honoring the first 100 years of Sea Scouts, whether you have one Sea Scout Ship or twenty.
Arthur Carey, with the Boy Scout Ship Pioneer in Boston, is credited with starting Sea Scouts in the United States. There were other early leaders who were instrumental in this period, including Charles T. Longstreth, who organized a Sea Scout patrol aboard his yacht Arawan in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A century later, Sea Scouts continue to sail in waters off Puerto Rico to rivers of Iowa to the warm oceans of Hawaii.
A Council Centennial Celebration can qualify as an official Centennial Event by incorporating the 4 S's of Sea Scouts into their activity. The 4 S's include:
Scouting: "The Sea Scout lives the Scout Oath and Scout Law every day in every way"
Seamanship: "...For the Safety of your shipmates and your ship..."
Service: "Service to your community, your ship, the Scout Program, and all of those who have trustingly learned to look to a Scout for help."
"Social": The reward for the first three "S's"
Here are some sample activities a Boy Scout Council can host to honor the Sea Scout Centennial:
Sea Scout Day: Celebrate being a Sea Scout with a Council-wide day by the water, complete with small boat sailing and a barbeque. Inland councils can use a Boy Scout camp where Sea Scouts can do semaphore, boatswain's chair, marlinspike and other "dry land" nautical activities.
Sea Scout Council Exhibit: Build an exhibit for the Council office lobby, highlighting Sea Scout advancement and adventure.
Merit Badge Regatta: One day event with Sea Scouts teaching Merit Badges such as Rowing, Sailing, Motorboating or Canoeing to Boy Scouts.
Task Force Cruise: Sea Scout Ships rendezvous and cruise together to a destination. The cruise can include each vessel taking the lead, complete with signal flags to execute turns. A social event can be held at their destination, such as a barbeque or dance.
Centennial Regatta: Organize a competitive event honoring the Centennial, such as a sailing regatta or land-based competition, with activities such as boatswain's chair, scuttlebutt or drill. Existing regattas/rendezvous can apply for "Centennial" status in 2012.
The above are only ideas. You are only limited by your imagination. Remember: food, fun, and outdoor adventure bring youth together.

Combine the highlights of the Iberian Peninsula with fascinating Morocco on this unforgettable vacation. Start in Madrid, Spain's grand capital, then visit fortified Avila and renaissance Salamanca. Enter Portugal and arrive in Coimbra, a charming hillside town that overlooks the Mondego River. Visit the Batalha Monastery and the Sanctuary of Fátima, and arrive in explorer Henry the Navigator's Lisbon. Spend two nights in spectacular Seville before boarding a ferry for Morocco. As you arrive on the African continent, motor to the old walled city of Fez for two overnights. Visit a traditional medina on the included sightseeing tour. Next, head through the Middle Atlas mountain range to Marrakesh, known for its colorful Djemaa el Fna, a square bustling with acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, and food stalls. See Casablanca, then Rabat, capital of the Kingdom of Morocco. Recross the Strait of Gibraltar and return to Spain. Drive through the Andalusian countryside to Granada for a treat: a visit to the exotic Alhambra complex, residence of Moorish kings. Retrace Don Quixote's footsteps past the windmills and castles of La Mancha, then return to Madrid for the conclusion of your exciting journey.
Headsets throughout the tourSightseeing: Visits to Avila, Salamanca, Coimbra, Batalha, Fátima, Portuguese wine bodega, Seville, Casablanca
Scenic Highlights: Serra da Estrela, Andalusia, Guadalquivir Valley, Costa del Sol, La Mancha, Middle Atlas
Local Guides for city sightseeing in Madrid, Lisbon, Fez, Marrakesh, Rabat, Granada-Alhambra. Professional Tour Director while touring
Check into your hotel. The rest of the day is free to start exploring lively Madrid. Tonight, meet your Tour Director and fellow travelers. (D)
Of the Spanish capital, situated 2,180 feet above sea level, the Spaniards say it's the nearest thing to heaven. You've only a day here, and it's certainly worth making the most of it by joining the included guided sightseeing tour: a full panoramic drive by way of the Avenida Mayor, Puerta del Sol, Parliament Square, and a picture stop outside the Royal Palace. The optional trip to Toledo is most rewarding, too. The splendid setting of this old walled city above the Tagus was made famous in El Greco's painting, and even now it's like a great open-air museum of Spanish history and art. (B)
West for a visit to fortified Avila with its many towers. Next is Salamanca, just six miles from the spot where Wellington routed Napoleon's army in 1812. Make sure you spend some time wandering around Plaza Mayor, the grandest square in Spain. Across the frontier to Guarda, the highest town in Portugal. From here, descend to the valleys of the Serra da Estrela to Coimbra for an overnight. (B,D)
This morning, enjoy your orientation tour of Coimbra, celebrated for its beauty and ancient university. Later, travel southwards to Batalha with a visit to its beautifully sited monastery. Today's penultimate highlight is a visit to the Sanctuary of Fátima. A sterner and more desolate landscape accompanies you to Lisbon for two overnights in Portugal's capital. A stop en route includes a wine bodega and some wine tasting. (B)
Henry the Navigator made Lisbon the 15th-century mistress of the seas. On the included tour, see his monument, the Belem Tower, the Moorish Citadel, and the impressive Black Horse Square. Spend the afternoon in the Alfama's tile-decorated streets, or take an optional excursion to coastal Estoril and Cascais. (B)
From the rolling plains of the Alentejo with its woodlands of cork and eucalyptus trees, southwards all the way to the brilliant light of Andalusia. Admire its neat white-painted villages and sun-drenched plantations of olives, figs, and almonds, while traveling by way of Beja into magnificent Seville. (B)
At leisure in one of Spain's most colorful cities. Perhaps you'd like to spend this morning enjoying an optional sightseeing tour including the main highlights of this vibrant city. (B,D)
An interesting drive today starts with views of the sherry wine region before reaching the coast for embarkation on the ferry to Morocco. Next, motor south along what was once northern Africa's infamous Barbary Coast. Join the new motorway for the drive southwards, then west, bypassing Meknes for two overnights in Fez. (B,D)
At leisure in ancient Fez, which occupies a position of outstanding scenic beauty. This morning, visit the Medina on the included sightseeing and enjoy the maze of narrow streets through the colorful bazaars and the exotic atmosphere. (B)
While motoring through the Middle Atlas on your way to Marrakesh, enjoy glimpses of North African village life reminiscent of Beau Geste. (B,D)
The highlight of this morning is the included city sightseeing. You'll really feel as if you've stopped the march of time. Marrakesh has always been a meeting place—first just a group of nomad tents, now a bustling city. An optional evening excursion will be a fitting choice to end the day. (B)
This morning, drive northwest from the heartland of Morocco by way of Settat to reach the most western of all Moroccan cities—Casablanca. Stop here awhile. Later in the afternoon, continue by way of the motorway northwards to Rabat, in Morocco's capital for city sightseeing and an overnight. (B,D)
Today, an early departure retraces your steps northwards for the ferry across the Straits of Gibraltar to mainland Spain. Drive directly to the heart of Andalusia to reach Granada for an overnight. (B,D)
Take advantage of the included visit with a Local Guide of the Alhambra, a summer complex built by the Moorish kings. This afternoon, drive into the very heart of La Mancha, famed for its castle and windmills. Overnight in Madrid. (B)
Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (B)
Transportation: Scheduled transatlantic flights and airport transfers in Madrid if Cosmos issues the air tickets. Touring by private first-class air-conditioned motorcoach. Ferry across the Straits of Gibraltar
Buffet breakfasts; 7 dinners
With Cosmos, there's no better way to get to know your destination than through the eyes of your Tour Director. Averaging over a decade... we'd like you to meet a Tour Director, who is representative of the type of expert that will be with you on your vacation.
After so many years in this fascinating land, I never get tired of showing people the wonders of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. Every tour is an adventure...a unique cultural experience I share with my guests. Like a storyteller, I can´t wait to meet my audience and start the show. Introducing travelers to the people, colors, and flavors of the region is exciting-something you just can't get from a guidebook!
The following UNESCO World Heritage Sites can be seen or visited on the Spain, Portugal & Morocco:

Golfstar Overview
Golfstar is a Korean developed golfing MMO being published in North America and Europe by Gamigo. The game was developed by Com2uS and has anime styled characters. The golf courses and surrounding environments are well rendered. Golfstar supports multiplayer matches of up to 30 players, and allows them to all play at once. This speeds up gameplay tremendously and is an improvement over several older golfing games. Like other golfing MMOs, players can customize their avatars and explore persistent shopping areas. As players progress, they'll be able to learn passive skills that improve their stamina and strength. Golfstar competes with games like Pangya, Shot Online, and Tiger Woods Online. Graphically speaking, Golfstar looks fantastic and is well worth checking out for those interesting in golfing games.

Golfstar Review
Golfstar Review
There are few sports that have as much international appeal as golf: the polite atmosphere, the calculated shots, and the athleticism required have inspired even video game players. In recent years, golf games have made their way into the online arena, hoping to capitalize on the multiplayer aspect of online gaming. One of these games, Golfstar, is published by gamigo. While similar to Shot Online, as well as other golf games like Pangya and Tiger Woods Online, Golfstar still has plenty to offer the online golf fanatic.
Take Your Pick
Golfstar's character creation is very limited: there are two male and two female stock characters, complete with a name, age, and biography, to choose from. These characters can be customized a little: each has two hair styles and a few hair colors, plus two faces, to choose from. Still, you'll have the look of looking like one out of every four players, with the only distinguishing feature being the clothing you equip in-game. Fashion items also offer bonuses, however, so you still may end up looking pretty similar to the player you're putting against.
Teeing Off
While Golfstar aims for fair realism, the controls during play are relatively simple. Swings take place in two phases; the first has you hold down the space bar to fill your power meter and letting go when the power is to your liking, while the second phase has you tap the space bar within a small aiming reticule on the ball itself (the closer to the center of the ball, the better the shot). This mechanic works the same for both regular shots and putts, with putts showing their power meter on the green itself instead of as a swing bar.
There are a few additional controls as well. Using the mouse will let you aim left or right. Camera controls are also managed by the mouse, and three views, allowing you to focus on either the hole, the projected landing area, or the golfer, can be switched between with the keyboard. Golfers can also learn skills, which can be added to an action bar and used with standard 1-0 hotkeys for easy access. While these controls are easy to master for a beginner, the mouse controls are on a reverse axis, which may slip up a player from time to time.
How's the Weather?
While the graphics and controls of Golfstar are softly realistic, the challenges facing golfers on the holes are not. Like Shot Online, Golfstar impressively takes into consideration all the factors affecting a golf game, from wind and slope, to weather and humidity. Every condition you come across on the course can and will affect your shot, making it important to take a full scan of your situation on each shot – an impressive feat sometimes, as each shot is limited by a time of 30 to 90 seconds.
Get a Grip
Golfstar is not just a free-for-all golf game; equipment and player statistics play a major part. The game features a full set of fashion items for players to equip (purchased with both the game's in-game currency and in the cash shop), many of which affect a player's stats. Clubs are also a major necessity in game, as are various items that can help improve a player's accuracy, power, stamina, or control.
As you play on courses, you gain experience and money. Experience will help you gain levels, which in turn grants you a few points that you can allocate between the four stats mentioned above. This is where players can really customize their experience, putting points in the stats that they are weakest at, as well as those they feel will give them an edge on the courses. Players also get to learn skills, special abilities that can be activated while on the course to help give their shots an edge.
Get on the Course Already
There are only four courses available in Golfstar right now, and they all look generally similar to each other with the exception of White Cliff, which offers some beach-like obstacles and background noise. Thankfully, there are several game modes to make things more interesting. These modes are stroke (a standard golf match with the lowest score winning), match (head-to-head per hole, with one or two people per team), skins (where players bet per hole to win in-game currency), and both competition and team competition, which can feature up to 30 players golfing at the same time.
Not only does Golfstar allow a large number of players on the course at once, it also makes sure that golf play goes quickly by making all players play simultaneously. While this does give a little illusion that you're playing alone, it also significantly speeds up the golf game – a usual problem for most golf MMOs. The game also supports guilds, and hosts a regular guild day every Friday in which guilds get boosted experience and rewards as they play on the greens.
Final Verdict: Good
Golfstar is one of the better golf games available online; it's realistic, it's fast, and it supports its community through in-game lobbies and guilds, helping make it feel like a little less of a lobby and more like a golfing community. However, the game also has a very limited amount of content, and follows the same style of equipment rules that many FPS games do – permanent equipment is almost nowhere to be found (even your starter set has a thirty day limit.) While you can earn money in game to pay for clubs, you'll have to keep a close eye on your inventory to make sure you don't go broke and lose out on valuable stats. If you're looking for a more realistic golf game, this might be your best bet – just watch your pocketbook.

live.laugh.love Foldover Pockets Everything worked out really well with our invitations. They sent more than the number of invites we requested. :)
Great Experience!
Bold Statement Pocket Invitations My husband and I are both designers so we thought about making our own wedding invitations, until we found Magnet Street - why reinvent the wheel?? They have a great variety of designs and I was shocked at the level of personalization. They came out exactly how we wanted them and the user interface was very straightforward and easy to use. We just got everything in the mail yesterday (invitations, envelopes, RSVP postcards and inserts) and they look amazing!!! The card stock is really good quality, and they came in a gorgeous (magnetic!!) box, well packed so nothing could possibly get bent. I would absolutely use them again!!
Modern Elegance
Bold Statement Foldover Pockets I LOVE my invitations. I personalized them to have our logo replace the logo that originally came on the front of the invitation. I removed the arrows on the front as well but left the ones inside. I changed the colors multiple times and the final result is perfect. I love that you can request custom changes to make your invite exactly what you want. I was even called to make sure my numbers were correct because I ordered less of one product (on purpose). The service and speed were right on target and the cost point could not have been better. The coupons are fabulous and so is the quality. My invitations cost half of what my sister-in-laws cost from an invitation shop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Great quality and design!
One Sweet Day Foldover Pockets I was really impressed by the quality of the wedding invitations I received! Everyone I've shown has absolutely loved them. They arrived quickly, which was really helpful!
Just as great as I expected!
One Sweet Day Foldover Pockets My invitations came in yesterday, and I am so in love. Although a bit pricey, they are TOTALLY worth the money.
