Audio clip:
Here's what's going viral now on Facebook.
"NASA Johnson Style."
With Psy's "Gangnam Style" named YouTube's top trending video of 2012, it's only fitting that the folks at NASA's Johnson's Space Center would parody the Korean rapper's viral hit to promote space exploration. Using lyrics raving about scientific advances, the video gives a fun glimpse into NASA's inner workings, including clips from the International Space Station and even features a few real astronauts lip synching and trying to dance like Psy.
Then, there's this:
"The Charlie Brown School of Dance."
It's a satirical commercial mocking the infamous dance moves from "A Charlie Brown Christmas." The spot features a grown-up Linus wearing a blue blanket around his neck, advertising his dance school that focuses on Peanuts choreography.
And, Facebook users are hitting the "like" button on:
"Christmas Sweatz."
YouTube artists Rhett and Link create wearable holiday cheer in this fun, festive video. The comedic musical team sing a monotone ear bug of a song about mixing the pieces of an all green and an all red sweat suit to create the ultimate holiday lounge wear.

Sufism for Western Seekers
Path of the Spiritual Traveler in Everyday Life
Reviewed by
C. William Gee
Shaping one's reality and directing one's thoughts and actions are among the mystical teachings within Dr. Stewart Bitkoff's newest book on Sufism. In this personal, semi-biographic spiritual guide, Sufism itself is redefined as being older and broader than the mystical branch of Islam that most know it as and its ancient teachings are updated and presented using accessible language to a Western, non-Muslim audience.
The chapters are written using a casual, often humorous question-and-answer format. By setting the book up as a dialogue, Bitkoff creates the sense of having recorded conversations that we have had with ourselves or our friends about spiritual matters or of having recorded exchanges that might occur during frank sessions with a spiritual teacher in a relaxed mystical school. Quotations from Sufi and other faith teachers are presented throughout to clarify the intended points, and each lesson ends with a summary and an activity to reinforce the teaching. While the format is generally engaging, some readers more accustomed to direct prose might find the conversational nature distracting. The appendices include an interview with the author and an article giving advice to those interested in studying in a mystical school.
Starting in the 1970s, the author studied with a teacher/master for four years and then studied for over ten years reading books from the Society for Sufi Studies and Idries Shah, in particular. While Bitkoff's own spiritual journey from Judaism to Sufism is recounted, his repeated aim is to make readers better Christians, Jews, and Muslims by sharing these mystical teachings, rather than to make converts. He also references his professional academic teaching and healthcare careers, which have included psychiatric rehabilitation, therapeutic recreation, and reintegration of the mentally ill into society.
Sufism for Western Seekers is not a historical or theological work about Sufism written for the academic market. Instead, this book is recommended for anyone seeking an easily relatable introduction to mystical thought and spiritual self-help practices from someone who has spent his life on a spiritual journey. The lessons and activities presented will challenge your perspective of reality and inspire you to improve yourself and to help others.

How to Install a Vanity Mirror
Vanity mirrors are a focal point in many bedrooms and bathrooms and, as their name implies, are typically installed above a vanity or bureau. A vanity mirror can be as attractive as it is functional, and in small areas, a well-placed mirror creates the illusion of more space. From antique to contemporary, vanity mirrors are available in a wide range of styles to fit any home decor. Because vanity mirrors provide a focal point, the proper installation of the mirror is just as important as finding the right style.
Best Mirrors for Your Bedroom
Add functional decor to your home when you buy mirrors to spruce up your bedroom. Whether you need a lighted makeup mirror to make your morning routine easier or a floor mirror so you can examine your outfit as you walk out the door, you're sure to find the decorative mirrors that work with your style and your space. Read on for tips on finding the best mirrors for your bedroom.
FAQs about Mirrors
There is a huge variety of mirrors out there, from standard bathroom mirrors and decorative vanity mirrors to wall mirrors and mirrored candle sconces. With so many shapes, sizes and types of mirrors available, you may have questions about how to use and care for them. Read on to discover some of the most frequently asked questions about mirrors and the answers we've found to help you.
How to Choose a Bench
Although most commonly used outside, benches have found a great amount of use inside the home. Not only do they offer additional seating, typically in a compact piece of furniture, but they also offer a great deal of versatility. Benches are great furniture for foyers, letting you sit when you take off or put on your shoes, and some styles will even have shelves to keep your shoes orderly. Benches also add style to bedrooms and living rooms, and storage benches give you a place to store items while keeping them easily accessible.
How to Install a Medicine Cabinet
Show your creative flair and add a practical touch to your bathroom by installing a bathroom mirror with cabinets (also called a medicine cabinet). Not only will the extra storage provide space for smaller toiletries and medicine, but it can also bring new life to an otherwise drab and overlooked area. Complement your mirror with coordinating shelves for towels and a vanity sink with room underneath to put larger items, such as cleaning supplies and toilet paper. Choose a bathroom cabinet that will be big enough for placement of items for you as well as for overnight guests.
How to Decorate for a Cozy Feeling in a Bedroom
Refreshing the paint, switching out textiles or using different furniture hardware can quickly transform a plain bedroom into a room that reflects your unique style. For a more comprehensive bedroom decor makeover, counteract the coolness of plain white walls and bland overhead lighting with a new coat of paint, furniture, accessories and finishes that create a cozy feeling in your bedroom.

Occupy Gezi: The Limits of Turkey's Neoliberal Success
There are two telling, though widely neglected, details about what initiated and popularized the groundbreaking protests in Taksim Square, Istanbul: the protests started out as a response to the governing neoliberal party's project of urban transformation or urban renewal; yet, urban questions quickly took a backseat as the protests became massive. Understanding these two facets of the mobilization sheds much light on what is happening in Turkey and why.
What the governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) disingenuously calls "urban transformation" is the demolition of public places, green areas, and historical sites, as well as the displacement of poor populations, in order to rebuild the city in the image of capital. All these unwanted spaces (and people) are being replaced by malls, skyscrapers, office spaces, and glossy remakes of historical buildings. Resistance against this project has been unfolding for quite a while, mostly out of sight for the national and international mainstream media. The lack of media interest or mainstream hostility is only partially to blame for covering up these past resistances. The governing party, with its cleverly crafted hegemonic apparatus, has been quite tactful in dividing and marginalizing protest. For instance, whenever squatter populations were removed, they were selectively paid: homeowners (rather than tenants); the better-connected families; the politics-prone people in the neighborhoods were compensated generously; dispersing the capacity to resist. When money did not do the trick, the new regime planted seeds of sectarian and ethnic division. When all else failed, the squatters faced heavy-handed police repression. Only one neighborhood in the huge Istanbul metropolitan area was able to withstand all of these pressures and consistently resist the project. But the exceptions proved to be the rule: urban transformation, even though it is a project that influences millions of people, was only resisted in pockets, rather than at the level of the entire city (let alone the whole country, where it was implemented with lesser severity, but still comprehensively, destroying rural as well as urban livelihood and health, despite the misleading "urban" title).
The protests in and around Taksim seemed to be adding to the chains of isolated resistances. When intellectuals and artists recently mobilized against the demolition of first a café and then a historical movie theater in Istiklal Caddesi, they appeared to be fighting a rearguard elite battle, focusing on sites that were of little interest to the popular classes. Each protest would remain marginalized either in elite or squatter corners of the city, until police brutally cracked down on several dozen protesters who wanted to protect the last green area (Gezi Parkı) in Istanbul's main entertainment square, Taksim. The will to save this park from turning into a mall initiated Occupy Gezi.
Popularization and the Expanding Protest Agenda
Initially, thousands flocked to the square in solidarity with those attacked. As a result, police brutality moved to the top of the agenda. Still, during the first day of popularization, talk about urban transformation was prominent. In a couple of days, however, the focus on police violence, the increasing authoritarianism of the AKP, and the persistent lack of democracy in Turkey marginalized the focus on urban issues. Many tweets and other information circulating on the web emphasized that the protests were "not about a couple of trees, but about democracy." This was a very crude and ultimately counterproductive rhetorical opposition. The significance of that bunch of trees was that they had fallen, temporarily, outside of economic logic in a country where everything came to be bought and sold freely.
Nevertheless, there are still banners that insist on emphasizing the trees, not only as a symbol of nature, but also of the popular democratic uprising. This is much truer to the initial spirit of the protests. Occupy Gezi has started as a revolt of people who reject being focused on money around the clock. This brings them in confrontation with the government and the police force, who wipe out everything in the path of marketization. The trees are the symbols of unity between the targeted squatters, the students with grim job prospects, the striking workers and civil servants, the intellectuals, and nature. But we should understand that there are also strong dynamics that decenter the focus on urban transformation.
The Context for Intensified Repression
Some elements within the government made a very risky calculation during the last few months. The government has been preparing Turkey for a regional war and needs a unified country with no threatening opposition in such crucial times. This is why after a decade of persistent marginalization it reached out to the Kurds. The Turkish rulers (quite reasonably, it would seem) saw the Kurds as the only force that could stop the government in its tracks. With the Kurds on their side, the calculation went, they could divide, marginalize, and repress the rest of the population, which was already much more disorganized when compared to the Kurds. The peace process with the Kurds also gave the government the chance to win back many liberals, who had been disillusioned ever since 2010. With its renewed hegemonic bloc, elements in the new regime felt that they could easily silence everybody else. The governing party thus intensified police brutality and some other conservative measures (such as tightened regulations of alcohol). People outside of this renewed bloc–whether elite, middle-class, or lower class; secular or Alevi; man or woman; right-wing nationalist or socialist–have been feeling under threat. When Occupy Gezi turned into an anti-police protest, hundreds of thousands therefore joined in to voice their frustration with increasing authoritarianism.
This naturally brings into the picture a lot of people who have been benefiting from urban transformation as well. Some of these people have not had any problem with police brutality and authoritarianism either, as long as it was channeled against workers, Kurds, socialists, or Alevis. Some of them are chanting extreme nationalist slogans throughout Istanbul and Turkey. It needs to be emphasized that these groups are overlapping circles: there is no necessary unity among these factions, though almost everybody calls them "ulusalcı" (extreme nationalist) as a shorthand. Despite government propaganda, they constitute the minority around Taksim Square, but are certainly the majority in better-off parts of the city. There are more organized nationalists among them who want to hijack the protests. Yet most of these disjointed masses do not even understand the protests and issues that initiated the protests. They are in it mostly as a way to defend their own interests and lifestyles. These people do not define the Gezi movement, but have already muddied the waters. Occupy Gezi has become much stronger partially due to their participation, but its national and international message risks being less clear now.
Stumbling Blocks
The people who initiated the protests (and are now in control of Taksim) are well aware of these dangers, as some of them are activists with years of experience. The public declarations they issue squarely focus on urban transformation, police brutality, and authoritarianism, though these declarations get lost in the muddle of huge protests throughout the country. These experienced activists are coming up against two stumbling blocks:
First, there, are the structural issues and successful hegemonic political moves that have so far divided protests against urban transformation. It is still very difficult, due to reasons which I hope to analyze elsewhere, to construct one consistent block against urban transformation with an alternative vision of development, urbanization, and nature. Class, culture, locality, and much else cut off the people who are suffering from urban transformation from each other. Unlike the governing party and its technicians, who have a bird's-eye view of how the suffering is connected, they know very little of each other. It is not easy to both sustain and popularize Occupy Gezi if it remains integrating urban questions.
Second, and perhaps as big of an issue, is Turkey's peace process with the Kurds. The government and its liberal allies spread the propaganda that the current demonstrations are against the peace process. Actually, it is not hard to believe that some of the disjointed Turkish masses pointed out above were partially motivated with an opposition against peace with the Kurds (as well as many other things, including alcohol regulations). However, the groups who are still in control of Taksim have defended peace for decades, when the Turkish state (including the new regime) was fighting its bloody battles against the Kurds. In this context, dishonesty would be a light word for the liberal ideologues of the new regime who accuse the protests of warmongering. Yet, even though there are many Kurdish activists in Taksim today (along with hundreds of others mobilized elsewhere in support of the protests), most Kurds have not joined the protests, out of fear that they will eventually derail the peace process. Nobody can blame them, as Kurds have been paying a high price for a long time. One of Occupy Gezi's most difficult tasks will be finding a way to draw the Kurds in without alienating a crushing majority of the non-leftists who have given the movement a part of its life force. This is a multi-class and cross-ideological movement against authoritarianism and marketization. The movement has no reason to exclude some upper-middle class and elite factions (who unevenly benefit and suffer from marketization and authoritarianism), but these latter might willingly opt out if the Kurds weigh in (which is a small likelihood to begin with).
Occupy Gezi sits in a privileged position when confronting these issues. On the one hand, unlike Occupy Wall Street and other similar movements throughout the West, many of the activists do not reject traditional forms of political organization and calculation (even though such sentiments are widespread among some of the younger leading protesters in Taksim). Such abstentionism from formal politics cost dearly to Western movements of the last couple of years. Unlike Arab protesters, on the other hand, Turkish and Kurdish activists have been living and breathing under a semi-democracy, so have a lot of everyday political experience under their belts. In short, "the leaderless revolution" has not arrived in Turkey. The disadvantage of Occupy Gezi, though, is that it is facing a much more hegemonic neoliberal regime when compared to the Western and Arab regimes. Turkish conservatives have been much more successful in building a popular base and a militant (but pragmatic) liberal-conservative intelligentsia (when compared to their fanatical and shallow counterparts in the West, not even to speak of their inexperienced counterparts in the Arab world). This consent is multi-dimensional and integrates compromises and articulations at ideological, religious, political and economic levels. The demobilization and counter-mobilization that neoliberal hegemony could generate cannot be taken lightly.
If the Turkish and Kurdish activists find innovative ways of overcoming these hurdles, Turkey will have the potential of adding a new twist to the post-2011 global wave of revolt.

Then he yelled, "I see a white tip on the tail! It's a really big walleye!!"

The single young Amishwoman is a closet writer with a longing to be published something practically unheard of in her Lancaster County community. Yet Joanna's stories aren't her only secret. She also has a beau who is courting her from afar, unbeknownst even to her sister, Cora, who, though younger, seems to have suitors to spare.

debwilsonSummerfield, FLAge: 18-24Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5December 21, 2013debwilsonSummerfield, FLAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Joanne Kurtz has been a bridesmaid enough times it is actually considered unlucky. Being passed over by all the fellows in Hickory Hollow, she is practically an old maid in her Lancaster County community. As a secret writer, she longs for the opportunity to do more than huddle over her notebook away from the eyes of others. But Joanna has one more secret that may cost her more than her writing - something that has the potential to change her life forever.
Eben Troyer is determined to make Joanna his bride, just as soon as his younger brother, Leroy comes to his senses and returns home to claim the farm that Eben is working so hard to keep up. Eben and Joanna's future hangs in the balance as promises that once seemed so easy to make are no longer even possible. Will Joanna ever be a bride? Or will she continue to walk up the altar as a bridesmaid?
This second installment to Lewis's Home to Hickory Hollow series is a beautiful and charming novel full of everything we love we love from this pioneer of Amish fiction. I felt as if I was reading about a place that was real, with characters as familiar as my own family. Getting to learn a little bit more of the Amish world from Lewis's eyes isn't the only reason why I would recommend this book; readers old and new will appreciate this novel for what it is. It is a breathtaking look into a place that exists only in our hearts, and will forever live on whenever a new reader is drawn into this captivating storyteller's spell.
A copy of this book was provided by Bethany House Publishers for free in exchange for an honest review.

The story centers around an Amish man and woman who for different reasons are not yet married. Both approaching their mid-twenties, they are considered past their marriage prime by their families and peers. They meet after a chance encounter on a trip to the shore and develop a strong attraction to each other. However, they live in different towns and their potential marriage hinges on an unlikely scenario.
I liked how this book focuses on a different theme than many Amish fiction novels - the difficulties and stigma that "older" unmarried Amish people face. I also liked how the author had their relationship develop based on correspondence; it created a unique element to the story.
Like most Amish fiction novels, the ending was not a surprise. However, the author did a good job of inserting plot twists and turns that make you think, "Well maybe_" In general, I think Beverly Lewis does this well in all of her novels.
Hickory Hollow, the setting for the book, is a more progressive Amish community in some ways, but still very traditional in others. I found it interesting when the main character, Joanna, described what Amish amenities her community does and doesn't use, such as indoor bathrooms.
In this series, the books are not chronological, but they do take place in the same Pennsylvania town. It doesn't appear that the characters overlap either; just the town. I read this book prior to the first book in the series, and did not find myself missing parts of the plot.
Overall, this was not my favorite Beverly Lewis book, but it was an enjoyable read with a plot that kept me wanting to ready "just one more chapter" at a time.
Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.

David Doucet
Quand J'ai Parti
David Doucet's work with Beausoleil has done a great deal to establish the guitar as a Cajun instrumental voice on a par with the fiddle and accordion–it's a new idea, but he makes it sound natural and convincingly traditional. With backing from the other members of Beausoleil and guests Josh Graves on Dobro and John […]
1957 — Solo Cajun Guitar
David Doucet, guitarist for the popular Cajun band BeauSoleil, has defined a musical territory all his own on this exquisite album of traditional Cajun songs. While the guitar has long been a featured rhythm instrument in Cajun music, David has reinvented the guitar as a compelling solo voice, employing the fingerpicking style identified with folk […]

Another brilliant morning in Bristol. As today and tomorrow are the last two warm days in the forecast I will try to get to the Bot, Gardens to get pics this morning as need to do urgent shopping tomorrow. I can feed myself and visitors from the garden but washing powder for the washing machine and so on need to be bought! When we moved here there was saponaria in the garden but that has long gone!
The drizzle brought me indoors so I practised on my new computer doing things with my photographs to make them more suitable for posting and sending by email. Here are two pics from today i edited.
The drizzle and cold requiring more clothing to be donned has driven me indoors but it seems to be brightening up again so will carry on after lunch, having looked out my gardening raincoat which has not been needed for some time!
Another brilliant sunny start to the day in Bristol. I shall be out in my garden all daylight hours enjoying the cyclamen all over it and the colours of the acers.
Picked one and a quarter lbs of runner beans and took half to a neighbour who gave me a huge slice of watermelon in return. The sun shone all day so took my camera in the front garden.
The Japanese quinces like all the apples are huge this year.
Another brilliantly sunny morning in Bristol and warm once more. Cooler conditions forecast for Saturday so will start getting more tender plants in to the conservatory or at least pushed into more sheltered parts of the garden if they are too heavy for me to lift. Waterbutts are very depleted so I have not been watering pelargoniums and begonias which means the pots are a bit lighter. The front porch of the bungalow is pretty well sheltered from the cold and gets some heat from the house. Mr. Fothergills are putting the first results of the Nation of Gardeners trials out on the ether now and , as I thought when we started they are promising to be very useful.
I am hoping to make 2015 the year I help Bristol io be environmentally friendly as it becomes the Green capital of Europe. My garden will be full of wildlife friendly plants, recycled containers, energy saving devices, plants that have been got from cuttings or swops,fruit and veg. to save on food miles and lots more devices to save on postage and fuel that could have been used by buying on line or going to a garden centre. Different from 2014 which was all about celebration. I hope to visit the Bot. Garden this week with the remains of my cake for the staff and volunteers whom i worked with as a volunteer gardener for six years. The autumn colours should give me some good pictures.
We Ate a Work of Art.
The grass was made of coconut;
The paths of marzipan;
The flowers and veg. of sugar;
Made by creative Ann.
The pond of sparkling jelly;
The beehive with its bees;
Blue butterflies in the borders;
All put us at our ease.
Till I had to wield the knife,
To cut my garden cake,
Too lovely to eat was the cry,
Even for donations sake.
That cry subsided when we smelt
The cherry brandy fumes'
And then we saw the cherries ,
Lush as the decorating blooms.
They queued for slices and decorations;
They ooh-ed and aah-ed somewhat;
The coffers swelled for our new projector;
Which eased my pain a lot.
It has gone, my Golden Cake;
Fond memories remain;
Of the facebook friends who gave it
And the gardening friends who ate it.
Another week of good gardening weather promised. Hooray! Here are some selfsown "Jewel of Africa" from my friend's tiny garden to brighten up Monday morning.
I have been on safari with my camera in the front garden where the summer and autumn flowers are blooming together with a sprinkling of spring primulas as well. I have never seen such big rosettes on my black aoniums. they have loved their summer hols out there.

Balancing oversight and innovation
With all the headlines about honest mistakes of late, it bears remembering that not all mistakes are bad, writes Christopher Dorobek in his newest Incoming column, "Government Needs to Find Balance in Oversight". Noting the government trend toward accountability, Dorobek questions whether accountability itself should be the mission of government. Too much oversight, he cautions, may stifle the very thing agencies need most to best accomplish their missions.

Youth & Identity
The Next Great Thing have the results of their global youth survey on social media and (while they don't give us an idea of sample size in order to judge the validity of their findings) there are some interesting points about privacy and identity.
According to their results, 44% of respondents say that their online identity is different than it is in real life. This might be connected to the statistic that 55% of the 14-17 year olds surveyed think that their blog and/or profile should be visible to everyone on the internet, compared to just 30% of 25-29 year olds.

Microsoft Suspending "Patch Tuesday" Emails 145
from the just-visit-our-lair-for-updates dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
That's the way it should be. If you want to subscribe to something, use RSS. That's totally under the control of the recipient. If you unsubscrbe from an RSS feed, there's no way the sender can keep sending to you.
It's easy to follow an RSS feed if you're using Thunderbird; a bit harder if you're a Google slave.
Canada passed a new law regarding spam in electronic messages (in particular, email) starting July 1
the law is here: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca... [justice.gc.ca]
faq is here: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/com5... [crtc.gc.ca]
the potential fine is $10 million
The companies that are effected are legitimate ones who do business in Canada
The onus on proving you have permission to send an email is on the company sending it.
There has been a flurry of activity wanting permissions recently due to the legislation.
It seems that nobody really knows what it means to be identified as a spammer.
Microsoft is probably thinking - to hell with it; the risk is too high. The RSS is good enough.
I never got E-mails from Micro$oft about updates, vulnerabilities, etc. Instead, I have an RSS feed from US-CERT (computer emergency response team), an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. (Yes, they do have a few useful functions.) US-CERT not only notifies me about Micro$oft's alerts and provides links to them, but that agency also notifies me of alerts from other companies.
The link to subscribe to the RSS feed is http://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/cu... [us-cert.gov].

RED x GIRL ART SHOW
LOCATION: Andrew Shire Gallery, Los Angeles, CA
DATE: July 31, 2010
PHOTOS: Dan Levy
WORDS: Jess Braam
Being that we're always down for a good cause it seemed only natural to post this. Girl Skateboards has joined up with Product (RED) for a special edition collaboration. Product (RED) or (RED) for short has raised upwards of $150 Million since its launch in 2006 towards global aid, specifically towards eliminating the HIV/AIDS crisis Africa has experienced for over half a decade. Girl is taking on the 'Buy (RED). Save Lives.' motto starting with the opening of their art exhibition endeavor on July 31, 2010 at the Andrew Shire Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. Scan the flyer; more than likely you saw something that caught you interest. Most of all, it's for a great cause. Come out and show your support from 7-10 pm Saturday July 31, 201 but also head over to the website and find out how you can directly contribute. http://www.joinred.com/takeaction

(You could do this even with crossfaction STFs by way of two requisition tokens and a store at Battle Group Omega that has one set for regular and one for elite.)
But a spin on this could be: Liberated Borg DOs on regular, BOs on Elite.
My ideal would be to have them in increasingly exotic species, with Khitomer Accord awarding Gorn and Caitian or Andorian Liberated Borg... and Into the Hive actually giving us Armek and Manus BOs with scaled down boss abilities.
