Pigeon Forge Titanic Museum Attraction Groupon Deal- Great Holiday Trip or Gift Idea!
Right now Groupon is offering a deal on the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge! If you are heading to the Smokie Mountains this holiday season or if you're looking for a unique gift this is a great way to save!
You can chose from two deals:
$33.50 for admission for two adults ($54 value)
$55 for admission for two adults and two children ($79 value)
Admission includes use of audio guides. (My kiddos and I LOVED the audio guides!)
Here is a little info about the Titanic Museum Attraction: In 1987—75 years after the RMS Titanic sank—John Joslyn helped lead an expedition to the bottom of the sea to photograph the wreck and bring up artifacts. Today, the gigantic museum he founded holds authentic items from the Titanic numbering in the thousands and valued at $4.5 million. Accoutrements of Edwardian life that range from cutlery to deck chairs fill meticulously accurate reproductions of the million-dollar grand staircase, the third-class sleeping rooms, and the cozy second-class space between the floorboards. Families make their way through interactive attractions at their own pace as they sit in a full-size lifeboat, walk up the grand staircase, feel exactly how cold 28-degree water is, touch an iceberg, steer the ship, and learn to send an SOS signal. The walk-through experience lasts approximately two hours.
You can read about our last trip here- it is about time we go again!

Nick Vatterott can't make it this week, he's completely fed up with podcasts, so taking over this week is overzealous, long time podcast listener, first time podcast podder Augustus Bradshaw. Augustus asks every question every podcaster asks. His guest this week is the hilarious, one of a kind, Mr. Mike Dobbins! The two tackle such over asked podcast questions as "How did you get into stand up?", and "When did you know you were funny?" and "Is there an inherent truth that some aspect of honesty or realness must be bled into absolute absurdity in order for the ridiculous to be any sort of place of abstract substance?"

Saturday Tea with H-Town MC Nick Pratt
"Saturday Tea at 3" H-Town MC NICK PRATT stops by How We Do It Radio to spill the tea about his newest project: "Dark Matter: A Space Age Odyssey"
For many of us, we are drawn to certain artists or genres of music as they seem to fit our natural rhythms, and provide a glimpse on how we may be able to live out our lives. This is especially true for young artists who take influence from the soundtrack of their environment, and aspire to create their own sonic blueprint for life. But what happens when an artist strives to create a body of work that not only directly connects with an audience, but takes their mind to a higher plane? It requires a certain level of intellect, imagination, observation, and drive. These traits are displayed in force by collaborators, emcee Nick Pratt and producer Lazy J on their full length project Dark Matter: A Space Age Odyssey.

WB Appoints New Director for Central America

News Source : WB Appoints New Director for Central America
Humberto Lopez served as WB Chief Economist
Humberto Lopez served as WB Chief Economist
for Central America between 2008 and 2011
WASHINGTON, July 2, 2014 – The World Bank announced the appointment of J. Humberto Lopez as its Director for Central America, effective yesterday. Lopez is a renowned expert in Central American socio-economic issues, having held other positions for the subregion within the institution.
"One of Humberto Lopez' priorities will be to lead the Central American unit charged with providing comprehensive solutions aimed at reducing extreme poverty and providing shared prosperity in Central American countries, generating greater opportunities for all citizens, as well as contributing to the subregion's integration," said Jorge Familiar, World Bank Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean.
Lopez, a Spanish national, joined the World Bank in 1996 and has since worked in several positions in the Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean regions. He has also served in the Economic Policy and Poverty Reduction Management Unit and in the Office of the President of the World Bank Group.
Until his new appointment, he was serving as Director of Economic Policy and Poverty Reduction for Latin America and the Caribbean.
Lopez was the World Bank's Chief Economist for Central America between 2008 and 2011 and is the co-author and/or editor of papers on Central American integration and trade agreements, economic growth, remittances, investment climate, poverty reduction, inequality and fiscal policy.
The new World Bank Director for Central America holds a PhD in Economics from the European University Institute in Italy and a Master's degree in Economics from Warwick University in the United Kingdom.
In his new position, Lopez, who will be based out of Washington D.C.. He will be in charge of a unit that includes six Central American countries. Lopez replaces Carlos Felipe Jaramillo, who is now working as an advisor to the World Bank's Managing Director, Sri Mulyani Indrawati.

20 Nautical Logo Designs for Inspiration
The ocean is a place of beauty. This collection of nautical-themed logos features boats, sails and anchors. These excellent logo designs will surely inspire you!
The ocean is a place of beauty. This collection of nautical-themed logos features boats, sails and anchors. These excellent logo designs will surely inspire you!
Graphic designer Joe White, who hails from London and owns Ye Olde Studio, skillfully creates finely-detailed logos that have a vintage look-and-feel.
Presenting your logo design concepts by mocking them up into real-world scenes will impress your clients and let them preview what their company's logo will look like on physical objects.
The logos of organizations often carry a lot of meaning. Logos can convey a company's identity, values, and their brand. However, sometimes, company logos also contain more subtle elements that play with the viewer's imagination.
An experienced logo designer knows that designing a great logo requires an equally great design process to ensure that the outcome is outstanding. I have broken down the logo design process into five steps that will create an effective pathway from initial brief to final presentation. Though each designer will have his or her own process, I would like to discuss a process that has worked for me and other logo designers.
In this icon design tutorial, we will construct a desktop printer icon that is rich in detail. We will use the industry-standard vector illustration tool: Adobe Illustrator. The icon we will make is from our Perspective general icon set. Ready? Perhaps you should serve yourself a cup of coffee and grab a bag of chips to pass the hunger while we draw our icon (it could take a while to finish)!
This design tutorial is meant to explain how to draw a 3D book icon from scratch with the help of Photoshop. We will use tools such as the Pen Tool, Polygonal Lasso Tool, and Gradient Tool, among other things. A strong proficiency in drawing shapes is needed in order to complete this tutorial.
This icon design tutorial will discuss how to create a shipping box/parcel box icon from scratch using Adobe Illustrator. We will use the 3D Extrude & Bevel effect, the Pen Tool for drawing simple shapes, several panels like the Transparency Panel and the Gradient Panel, and other fundamental Illustrator features. We'll detail our icon with a red shipping stamp (that we will draw ourselves), packing tape, and shadows/highlights.
In this Photoshop tutorial, I will show you how to make a cardboard box that can be used for a number of purposes, such as for icons or for other design purposes. The procedure used to create the cardboard box is simple and easy to understand, using tools such as the Gradient Tool and the Polygonal Lasso Tool.
This tutorial will show you a general process for making a wooden, grungy-themed social media icon in Photoshop. I was inspired to create this set (which I call "Derelict") after having created the metallic equivalent for my free WordPress theme with the same name. This icon style is grungy, evokes emotion and, for once, doesn't need you to use any glossy effects! The best part is, it's really easy to make and you'll be making a bunch of your own icons in no time.
This tutorial is targeted at achieving a detailed 3D LCD monitor using Adobe Photoshop. The result could be used as an icon. To arrive at the final design, we will use basic Photoshop features such as the selection tools, layer styles, the Gradient Tool, the Pen Tool, and more. A proficiency in utilizing the Pen Tool and the Lasso Tool is needed in order to get the most out of this Photoshop tutorial.
This tutorial is meant to explain how to design semi-realistic objects achieved through simple procedures. The tutorial mostly uses shape layers, which will help you edit them later on and make your work more flexible and scalable.

Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Forte Koup than the MINI MINI-Hardtop, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Kia Forte Koup, the MINI MINI-Hardtop may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
The Kia Forte Koup requires fewer visits to the gas station than the MINI MINI-Hardtop, making it more convenient to drive.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The MINI MINI-Hardtop will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Forte Koup, which has a much lower MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The MINI MINI-Hardtop and the Kia Forte Koup have similar Destination Charges.
Since the MINI MINI-Hardtop is much slimmer than the Kia Forte Koup, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the MINI MINI-Hardtop, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Kia Forte Koup.
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the MINI MINI-Hardtop does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Kia Forte Koup.
The MINI MINI-Hardtop has about the same turning radius as the Kia Forte Koup, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the MINI MINI-Hardtop is somewhat more powerful than the Kia Forte Koup.
The MINI MINI-Hardtop has less seating than the Kia Forte Koup, making the Kia Forte Koup the better choice if you need to chauffeur many passengers. With its significantly greater cargo capacity, the MINI MINI-Hardtop will be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia Forte Koup.
The basic warranty of the MINI MINI-Hardtop is not as nearly as extensive as that of the Kia Forte Koup.
Compare the 2015 MINI MINI-Hardtop and the 2015 Kia Forte Koup.

When is the last time you went to an NBA game and saw a truly great player? And when is the last time you've been able to do it on the cheap? Ticket prices in the NBA went up 3.4% compared from last season. This might not seem like much, but it bumped up the cost of an average NBA ticket to $53.98. That means just two tickets are going to set you back over $100, and for the more budget
Photo of the Day: The Spurs' Toga Party
Okay, so the photo isn't exactly a toga party, but it's close enough. The San Antonio Spurs are represented in a commercial that aired on Wednesday, dressed in toga clothes. Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli, Tony Parker, Patty Mills and Kawhi Leonard, as well as the Spurs mascot The Coyote, all appeared in the commercial for H-E-B Greek Yogurt. As you can imagine, the commercial is quite hilarious.
Denver Nuggets struggling without star power
Of the eight teams that reached the Western Conference playoffs last season, six of them had at least one player among the NBA's top-20 in win shares. The two playoff teams that did not have a player among the top 20 were Memphis, with stars Marc Gasol, Mike Conley and Zach Randolph, and San Antonio, who boasts the famed star quartet of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard.

Fantasy Spin: Use Davis, James or Both?
How bad are the Philadelphia 76ers? What does their ineptitude mean in daily fantasy leagues? Last night Dallas built a safe 73-29 lead by halftime and coasted home to win by 53 points. Tonight the Sixers are obliged to show up Houston, where the main obstacle for the Rockets will be overconfidence.

Their star point guard, Kyle Lowry, fresh off of a summer in which the Raptors inked him to a four-year contract worth $48 million.On Friday night, the Raptors took the floor wearing their throwback jerseys from their inaugural season. Despite the night being devoted to the team's 20th anniversary, Lowry made headlines when he broke

Photo of the Day: Spurs Reveal Championship Rings
The day we've all been waiting for is finally here. NBA basketball is back. After a long, incredible offseason for the league and many teams, Tuesday night kicks off the first real action since the San Antonio Spurs routed the Miami Heat in five games in the Finals. So, what better way to bring back basketball than having those same Spurs present their title and the rings they earned, and to hang the franchise's fifth NBA Championship banner. The new-look Mavericks
Five Things To Watch: San Antonio Spurs
All the San Antonio Spurs could talk about last season was avenging their 2013 NBA Finals loss to the Miami Heat, especially the heartbreaking loss in Game 6. The Spurs made sure it didn't get to a Game 6 in 2014 as they dominated the Heat in five games to win their fifth championship. Tim Duncan, who many assumed would retire after his fifth title, now enters the 2014-15 season looking for a ring for his other hand now. The Spurs brought

However, there is no shortage of those that will give you the atta girl that you need. Most AA's are pretty friendly, outgoing, and go out of their way to be nice. So, there isn't much to be afraid of, other than afraid of what it will feel like once you get sober. For me, it sucked when I first got sober... but, as time went on, and I did some suggested work, it finally got pretty good! I recommend it! It's been great for me!Dallas

- Taizong's hell – The Chinese hell scrolls presented here treat the afterlife as a spectacle, as a display intended for public consumption. Ostensibly based on popular tales such as Tang Emperor Taizong's visit to hell in the first half of the seventh century C.E., they attract their viewers through their dark and yet cartoonish torture scenes, appealing to the same morbid curiosity fed by gothic novels, horror movies and Halloween ghosts in the West. Yet their main function was not entertainment but didactic, propagating a basic message of retribution. Every act of goodness will be rewarded; every act of evil will be justly answered.
- Tax Research UK » The personal tax statement George Osborne doesn't want you to see – Linkis.com – Add together the cost of subsidies to banks, the subsidy to pensions and the subsidy to savings (call them together the subsidy to the City of London) and they cost £103.4bn a year – more than the cost of education in the UK.
- Greek Bronze Age ended 100 years earlier than thought, new evidence suggests – Conventional estimates for the collapse of the Aegean civilization may be incorrect by up to a century, according to new radiocarbon analyses. While historical chronologies traditionally place the end of the Greek Bronze Age at around 1025 BCE, this latest research suggests a date 70 to 100 years earlier.
- Leefbaar hangt stad vol met Pieten – NOS Nieuws – In Rotterdam zijn honderden Zwarte Piet-poppen opgehangen aan lantaarnpalen. Om hun nek hangt een briefje met de tekst "Wij willen blijven". De pietjes zijn door de stad verspreid door de politieke partij Leefbaar Rotterdam.
- Budapest autumn: hollowing out democracy on the edge of Europe | World news | The Guardian – Eva Acs, an agronomist who has run the thriving organic farm for 22 years, is at her wits' end. "The state just took the farm away. We were absolutely punished and rubbed out. Then the private security firms came in and closed down the roads and blocked the tractors. The new owners destroyed all our plants and crops. Just to bankrupt us and hurt us."

- Miles Davis Albums From Worst To Best – Stereogum – Ranking a catalog the size of Miles Davis' is an impossible task. There are so many lavish boxed sets, live releases, compilations issued during his hermit period, etc., that in order to make this article at all manageable, major cuts had to be made before it could even be begun. So here's how this is going to work: I chose studio albums only. But to truly understand Davis' catalog, there are a bunch of essential live releases, including Live-Evil, In Concert: Live At Philharmonic Hall, Dark Magus, Agharta, Pangaea, and The Bootleg Series Vol. 1: Live In Europe 1967. So consider the 30 albums below a starting point. There's so much more.
- A Report on Damage Done by One Individual Under Several Names | Laura J. Mixon – Friends, the tl;dr of this very long, comprehensive, analytical report is that up-and-coming John W.

"You don't hear about Russ or LeGuin. And there are very particular ways that people talk about it. One of those is by saying 'well she did it, but it wasn't really science fiction,' or 'her husband has a big impact.'"

- Inktober 2014 – Imgur – A daily ink drawing of Reddit's movie title typos.
- Guy writes chilling post about being a stalker – I would love to believe this is fiction (oh god, I so very much want this to be a really bad writing assignment or something) but he even tags the post as "Real Life". I can't. Brittain has absolutely no idea what he's done to this poor woman and casts himself as a downtrodden romantic hero instead of a deeply disturbing stalker. It's a frightening look at the mental hoops a stalker jumps through to rationalize their behavior.
- Richard Brittain Violently Assaults Book Reviewer – In an update to the "Guy writes chilling post about being a stalker" story that I truly wish hadn't been real, Richard Brittain was arrested recently for tracking down a woman who panned his book, going to her workplace and beating her over the head with a bottle of wine.
- The Complicated Appeal Of Black Metal – While black metal is considered to be by and for the deeply misanthropic — "true" black metal, by definition, is satanic — in the past decade its popularity has grown extensively, crossing over from die-hard "kvltists" to a centrist, mainstream indie-rock audience that would have never otherwise cared about a metal scene.

- Confessions of a white Oxbridge male – FT.com – Like the communist rulers in 1989, we white Oxbridge males cannot defend our dominance with arguments. Most of us know we didn't get here through individual brilliance. Perry is wrong when he says, "Default Man will never admit to, or be fully aware of, the tribal advantages of his identity." I'm very aware of those advantages. That's why, although I currently have a decent job at a good newspaper, I feel very little sense of achievement. My dad went to Cambridge. I was born to be a minor establishment functionary. That's also why I'm not desperate for my children to join the establishment. What would it prove?
- Head Nurse: Conclusions.** – Conclusion the first: The first reaction on the part of everydamnbody has been to blame the nurses. From the first inkling that Mr. Duncan's diagnosis was missed to the news that a second nurse was infected, the director of the CDC and the administration of Presbyterian Dallas have pointed to the RNs as the weak links in a chain.
Your Happening World (October 21st through October 23rd)
- In The Second Year : Storm Jameson –
- A Month Soon Goes, Storm Jameson | It Doesn't Have To Be Right… – Storm Jameson was prolific and successful, writing around sixty books between 1919 and 1976 – fiction, criticism, biography and history. None of her books appear to be in print now. At least two of her novels, In the Second Year (1936), set in a fascist Britain, and Then We Shall Hear Singing (1942), about a Nazi invasion of an invented country, qualify as science fiction although I'm not aware of them being claimed by the genre.
- New Statesman | Attention, #NaNoWriMo Fans: No One Cares How Your F***ing Novel Is Going – Because one of the most boring things in the world is watching a person write. They do not move. Their google searches are tedious; they google synonyms for words they just made up. If you ask a novelist how they wrote their book, it's always "I researched a bit and then I didn't get out of my pyjamas for properly ages." That's it. There was probably an exiting moment when a blob of apricot jam fell off a bit of their crumpet and they had to suck it out of the lapel of their dressing gown to avoid having to wash it properly. That's it.
- Five Ways To Respond To A Negative Review: A Helpful Guide! « terribleminds: chuck wendig – Go punch a punching bag. Write in your bedside Twilight Sparkle diary. Go fire off an email to an author or artist friend and be all like AHHH DID YOU SEE THIS REVIEW (and if that author is truly a friend that author will say, yeah, yeah, that sucks, the reviewer sucks, but hey don't get cuckoo bananapants, maybe go have a drink, go for a run, eat a cupcake, something, anything, calm thyself because this shit happens all the time).
- The Liberal Democrat approach to campaigning: the history and debunking some myths – Most notably, far too many accounts of British political campaigning are written without noticing how dramatic 1997 was, not just in terms of a Labour landslide, but also in terms of the impact of constituency campaign tactics. Fail to understand what happened in 1997 and why and you not only fail to understand British political campaigning but also, closer to home, fail to understand the roots of more recent events involving Chris Rennard.
Your Happening World (October 14th through October 17th)
- The Argument That Saved Paris by Ian Buruma | NYRblog | The New York Review of Books – This much is known: Nordling did meet von Choltitz several times, mainly to arrange the release of French political prisoners, and to negotiate a truce (threatened by the Communist resistance as much as by German zealots). We also know that von Choltitz, however aristocratic in his comportment, had been a very ruthless character, responsible for the destruction of the center of Rotterdam in May 1940. Worse that that, in 1942 his regiment flattened Sevastopol, and von Choltitz faithfully carried out orders to "liquidate" the Jewish population. He was a perfect illustration of the complicity on the eastern front of German army officers with the Nazi genocide, a shameful fact that has only recently been acknowledged in Germany.

- Killer whales living with bottlenose dolphins demonstrate cross-species vocal learning – Now, University of San Diego graduate student Whitney Musser and Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute senior research scientist Dr. Ann Bowles have found that killer whales (Orcinus orca) can engage in cross-species vocal learning: when socialized with bottlenose dolphins, they shifted the types of sounds they made to more closely match their social partners. The results, published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, suggest that vocal imitation may facilitate social interactions in cetaceans.

- Dust – Lightspeed Magazine – Very late at night, when the buzz of drill dozers has died out, I can hear her breathing. I know that sounds crazy. I don't care.
- SSLv3 goes to the dogs; POODLE kills off protocol – Over the past week, rumours were circulating about a new vulnerability in SSLv3. No details were widely available until today and now we have POODLE, the 'Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption' attack. The attack, specifically against the SSLv3 protocol, allows an attacker to obtain the plaintext of certain parts of an SSL connection, such as the cookie. Similar to BEAST, but more practical to carry out, POODLE could well signal the end of SSLv3 support.

- The Daily Targum :: Neither man nor woman: life as a non-binary student – On the bottom of my column, I use the pronoun "they." This isn't a typo, despite what many writers at The Guardian and Telegraph assumed as they reported on my Trigger Warning activism. Indeed, I do not identify as a man, the gender I was assigned at birth. I identify as a non-binary student.
- From the Heart of Europe – Refugees of Casablanca –
- The First Female Gamers – Could it really have been so unthinkable to Gygax that a woman would purchase Dungeons & Dragons? His game went on to wild, unprecedented popularity, and women constituted no small part of its long-term audience. To appreciate the situation in 1974, we must understand the market Dungeons & Dragons entered, and the curious consumer group it targeted: gamers.
- Retired NSA Technical Director Explains Snowden Docs – Well, they participate in the parallel reconstruction. So, in other words, when you can't use the data, you have to go out and do a parallel construction, means you use what you would normally consider to be investigative techniques, go find the data. You have a little hint, though. NSA is telling you where the data is, it makes you look really good. If you have it quickly. So then you can justify, taking it into court and use that in court. And so I call that perjury. In fact, I call this a 'Planned Program Perjury Policy' run by the Department of Justice of the United States. And, it's not just affecting our democracy, it's subverting our entire court system. It's not only subverting ours, it's subverting everybody's in the world that has a relationship with the FBI or the DEA. So this is infecting entire democracies, all of the world.
Your Happening World (October 3rd through October 7th)
- Where Should We Bury the Dead Racist Literary Giants? – The Awl – At the same time, focusing on race in Lovecraft can also lead to a greater appreciation of his work, and a better understanding of its horror. Joshi may think he's protecting Lovecraft's legacy by minimizing the role of race in his stories, but the truth is that, to the extent that Lovecraft is still meaningful, it's in large part because of his portrait of his own racism. Lovecraft isn't a great artist despite being a racist, as Joshi would have it. Nor is he a lousy artist because he's a racist, as Older says. He's a great artist and he's a racist: Lovecraft's world is one in which racism poisons everything, in which the fear of anyone who isn't white is so overwhelming that it fills the seas and the skies and everything in between with gibbering demons and cosmic despair. The bleak, clotted hatred with which he renders that world is precisely what makes his work valuable.

- Fantasy-Faction World Tour of Wonderment: The Netherlands | Fantasy-Faction –
- Marvel & Jack Kirby Family Settle Long-Running Legal Dispute – Page 5 – So what happened wasn't that the Kirby family sued Marvel just because they one day decided to up and want more money. They didn't even sue. What they did was file for termination of copyright assignment — the very thing that the law allows creators to do. They didn't do this against the wishes of Kirby himself — Kirby had been all for doing it, ever since the law had been changed. But they had to wait a certain amount of time, and Kirby didn't live long enough to see it happen. But he was always on board with it.
Your Happening World (September 25th through October 3rd)
- BBC News – Cat Watch 2014: What's it like being a cat? –
- The Radical Ellen Willis | Dissent Magazine – Maybe we're oblivious, or maybe just stretched thin, but not enough people are talking about this. The late cultural critic Ellen Willis did—and years before the worst of it hit. With a clarity of thought and the kind of fury that pangs and never scabs over, she diagnosed, snarled, and illuminated what she considered a central plague of her day: the way our economy limits our creative expressions. As she put it in her essay "Intellectual Work in the Culture of Austerity": "On the crudest level, the lives of American intellectuals and artists are defined by one basic problem: how to reconcile intellectual or creative autonomy with making a living."
- Black and Blue. – Free Online Library – The violence perpetrated by the P.G. cops is a curious development. Usually, police brutality is framed as a racial issue: Rodney King suffering at the hands of a racist white Los Angeles Police Department or more recently, an unarmed Timothy Thomas, gunned down by a white Cincinnati cop. But in more and more communities, the police doing the brutalizing are African Americans, supervised by African-American police chiefs, and answerable to African-American mayors and city councils. In the case of P.G. County, the brutality is cast against the backdrop of black America's power base, the largest concentration of the black middle class in the country.
- kankedort: On Diversity: Two Sadnesses and a Refusal – don't refuse the issues. I accept them fully. But I refuse the sense of scarcity and shrinkage. I refuse a world this small. I refuse to believe that there are only so many seats at the table, that I have to fight for scraps against all other possible representatives of diversity. You guys, I refuse this EVEN IF IT'S TRUE. Daniel José Older and Saladin Ahmed, who were mentioned in the Nation piece, are my friends. I'm thrilled for them. Is it possible to recognize that there is a problem with women of color being ignored, and still be thrilled for them? I intend to believe the answer is yes.
- Marooned Off Vesta: Confusion and understanding: one post about The Stone Boatmen – Though I try always to extend sympathy at least, it is difficult for me to approach any new work of sf with anything other than suspicion. But very early on in my first reading of Sarah Tolmie's The Stone Boatmen — I am no longer able to say when or where, exactly — I decided to trust: to have faith in the work, and in Tolmie's ability and above all responsibility in pursuit of it. Or — can this really be characterized as a decision? Perhaps better to say that I found myself trusting her, that something palpable but not quite locatable in or between her words made such trust not only possible but natural, even unavoidable. Tolmie does not betray this trust.

- Your Princess Is in Another Castle: Misogyny, Entitlement, and Nerds – The Daily Beast – Fixating on a woman from afar and then refusing to give up when she acts like she's not interested is, generally, something that ends badly for everyone involved. But it's a narrative that nerds and nerd media kept repeating.
- #GameOverGate (with images, tweets) · strictmachine · Storify – Zoe Quinn blows #GamerGate wide open.
- Timothy Snyder's Lies | Jacobin – In Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands, Hitler and Stalin are one and the same. And the partisans — Jewish fighters included — only encouraged German crimes.
- Whirling Nerdish: Asthma and THE MIRROR EMPIRE – I'm particularly interested in how Hurley handles this character because all my life, I was told by movies and TV that people with asthma were nerds. They were geeks, dweebs, losers. Pathetic little wastes that fly into a wheezing, gasping fit when things get difficult while, meanwhile, the HERO goes and kicks the bad guys ass and handles his shit.
- A few disjointed thoughts on other cultures and diversity in SFF – Aliette de Bodard – Researching another culture is freaking hard work, PLEASE do not undertake it lightly (and when I say "freaking hard work", I don't mean a few days on Wikipedia, or even a few days of reading secondary sources at the library). And PLEASE do not think you'll be exempt of prejudice/dominant culture perceptions/etc. No one is.
- Public Domain Super Heroes – Public Domain Super Heroes is a collaborative website about comic book, comic strip, film, literary, pulp, mythological, television, animation, folk stories, etc… Characters in the public domain fitting in genres such as the masked vigilante, caped crusader, villains, scientists, magicians, robots, jungle lord, and their supporting characters.
- Pioneer winners — Butler: Thirteen Ways of Looking at the British Boom – "There certainly seems to be something of a boom. To a certain extent these things are always artefacts―there's no objective criteria by which one can judge 'boom-ness' (boomitude? boomosity?―so the fact that everyone's talking about it is to a certain extent definitional of the fact that something's going on"

Mix oats, brown sugar, margarine and syrup thoroughly.
Divide the mixture between two 2-quart glass utility dishes.
Press evenly into dishes and bake each separately for 3 minutes, 30 seconds on high, uncovered, until entire top is bubbly.
In a bowl, melt chocolate pieces and peanut butter for 1 minute, 30 seconds, on high, uncover, stirring midway through cooking time.
Stir until smooth and spread on top of oatmeal mixture.
Keep in refrigerator.
The squares will seem too hard to cut, but after a few minutes at room temperature, they will soften.
Cut each dish into 24 squares.

The only thing I wish had been included were instructions about how to put the magnets into the foil-lined envelopes (which way they needed to face). Other than that, everything was great! They also included lovely samples for wedding invitations that we will definitely look in to.
You couldn't get anymore custom then that.
Hawaiian Turtle Save the Date Magnets Perfect to give our guests a heads up of our upcoming destination wedding at Turtle Bay in Hawaii! Service was prompt and love the sample book too.

text: My family and I absolutely enjoyed our visit to Stearns Ky. Even though all the national parks were shut down we still learned a lot of history because of Sandy the owner of Big South Fork Motor Lodge, She told us so much about coal mining and how miners were paid and why children as young as 8 years old were made to work the mines. The hotel was spacious and clean the staff was awesome the pool was gorgeous Also I had the best two nights sleep then I have had in years the mattress was so comfortable. If you are there on a Friday evening Sandy even makes home cooked meals for her guests at no extra charge, . That is good old southern hospitality you wont find in any other hotel or motel. I am looking forward to going back to Stearns and I will definitely be staying at The Big South Fork Motor Lodge.
