Parallels or bootcamp? which is better?
Planning on using one or the other for games, but not sure which is better? Any help would be appreciated. Also, how easy is it to get windows updates using either? Just a matter of updating windows like normal?

Bootcamp. Native is better for games.

Gaming benefits from having direct access to the computer's hardware and claiming all its resources. But virtualization gets more effective every day, and it's awfully nice to be able to hot-key between Mac and Windows.
If your Mac is a powerful model with lots of RAM, I'd say try virtualization and see if it does the job for you.
I've always had better luck with VMWare Fusion than Parallels, incidentally. Parallels benchmarks a little better in various reviews, but everytime I've tried it there were issues. VMWare, by comparison, is entirely solid stuff.

I've used virtualization before, but I don't anymore.
Most games that will run in virtualization will run with Wine as well, and based on my previous experiences the games run better in Wine than in virtualization.
However Wine is a bit harder to use.
I do however use bootcamp too and this will always be the fastest way, only issue is that you have to reboot.

Here's how I'd rate the 3 different alternatives for playing Windows games:
+ easy to use, and very convenient. No rebooting, and you can even suspend sessions and restore in just seconds.
- Low performance and then there's the problem with mouse movement and 3D games. Requires a Windows license.
+ Fiddly to get to work, but the games that do run, usually run very well. Even more convenient than virtualization for the games that work. No Windows license required.
- Lots of games won't work this way. And requires a fair bit of know-how.
+ Best performance, easiest to use.
- Requires rebooting and a Windows license. Also a separate partition on your hard drive.
Personally, I'd love it if more games would work through WINE or virtualization, but in my experience it's rare to find a flawless experience, so I tend to go for the Bootcamp problem. The only issue with it, is that it requires that "extra mile" as you have to reboot and leave the comfort of OS X, which usually means that I play those games less than the ones I can play in OS X.

For games released in the last year or so, Bootcamp without a doubt, for games from three or four years ago, you usually get good results with Virtualisaztion , Wine sits bang in the middle, sometimes you can get modern games to run well under wine, but not as good as it would run under bootcamp.

Forgot to mention, if you want to go down the WINE road, portingteam.com is a good site for help and in many cases, ready-made WINE ports. You'll still of course need to buy the game and add it to the port, the ones at the site are just adapted to the specific game with the correct settings and all that.

Personally, I prefer to game on my iMac with these options in this order:
Native ports (Feral, Aspyr, etc.), Blizzard, EA, etc.
Wineskin/Boxer ports I do myself. I was resistant to try this at first thinking it would be too much trouble but really it isn't, for me at least. I enjoy doing them and get a certain feeling of getting away with something, running them on my iMac without reboots, etc. I've had very good experience with both options, but it has been with older games so far. It only took me a couple days of reading the instructions, using Wineskin and Boxer depending on the game and looking up on AppDB, etc. tips and whatnot for anything that didn't work out of the box. In most cases I did have to do some tweaking but I learned a lot about porting games using these tools in the process and enjoyed it actually. The results were excellent too. I am playing Halo Combat Evolved currently thanks to Wineskin without having to start a virtual machine or reboot.
Windows XP with Parallels 8 for older games that run better on XP or don't run well on multicore systems. I set the VM up for single core. This works great for older titles that do not run flawlessly with Wine.
Windows 7 with Parallels 8 for newer Windows games that require dual core CPU and are more demanding. However, I do think this option is limited by performance issues running in a virtual machine, the newer the game is, etc. For example, anything requiring DX 10 isn't going to run fast enough in probably most all cases even though Parallels 8 now supports DX 10. DX 11 is not yet supported at all. They have a lot of work to do with DX 10 performance-wise. This option is for when a newer title doesn't run flawlessly or close with Wine but will run well in a VM.
Last up, when all else fails I will for now reboot into Windows 7 but I greatly dislike leaving OS X and bothering with this. I am currently working through a backlog of games that only work well this way and once I am done I will be deleting the bootcamp partition.
I do not buy Windows games anymore. It's Mac or bust from here on in for me personally. I find that enough good new games are coming out for Mac now that I don't need Windows anymore but this is in part because I plan on buying a PS4 for anything coming up in the way of AAA games that isn't available as a native OS X release.
Since I own the Windows licenses, I'll be happy in the future to have the option to use Parallels for the large library of games I own that run well in virtual machines. I might consider a Windows game in the future if there is no Mac version available only if I find out that it will run well with Wine using Wineskin. Otherwise, it simply isn't worth it to me. I did not buy a Macintosh so I could have an Apple computer running Windows 7. I hate rebooting.
Did I mention I hate rebooting? ;-)
Oh yeah, honest I am not a hateful guy generally at all but... I hate Microsoft too. I won't ever be purchasing another Windows license. I'm done with them.

+1 for the Wine. I've played the entire Skyrim (finished it) with Wine/Wineskin and it ran flawlessly. I've even made a bootcamp (got the original skyrim boxed game so I could install it on both sides) just to see if it would run faster and it actually didn't.
Wine can be a no-go in some cases. But when it works, it has the best from both worlds (OS X environment, no windows license, better performance than virtualization). Using portingteam.com wrappers and reading instructions and workarounds helps a lot, too.

Bootcamp- least hassles, best performance.
Updating Windows running on your Mac is practically the same as if it was running on a PC. What you have extra is an Apple Control Panel which will offer to update your drivers on occassion. These are the drivers that were installed in the Bootcamp setup. Apple makes or sponsors the drivers so Windows can interact properly with Apple hardware.

I have a Bootcamp partition but am too damn lazy to boot into it just to play games. IMO, even with recent release games, it depends on the game and on the machine you are using with Parallels... You can still game with Parallels just fine.
For example, I have a 2012 27" iMac with 3.4GHz Core i7, 32GB RAM, and 2GB 680MX GPU. For Parallels I have it setup so that I am using 4 CPU cores, 12GB RAM, and 1GB GPU.
Games that I have run via Parallels with no noticeable performance issues that I would consider "recent" games:
Torchlight 2
Path of Exhile
The Old Republic
Granted, other than Skyrim, those games aren't really demanding performance wise, but they are considered recent. Let's not assume recent games only consist of uber graphics FPS games.
My advice is this... Take a look at your machine and the resources you have available that you can allocate to Parallels (i.e. CPU Cores, RAM, and GPU) and then take a look at the Windows games you are interested in playing. If your allocated resources are able to run those games, then go for it. If not then Bootcamp is your best option.
With that said, I am aware that overall performance bootcamp is superior, but with most of the games I play, I just need acceptable with no noticeable performance issues. If I can get that, then I will play in Parallels.
The ability to simply tab over to my Mac desktop when I am done or in the middle of my paused game, is something I am willing to sacrifice some non-noticeable performance on.

With Bootcamp, your computer can be a Mac, then you reboot it and it becomes a PC, then you reboot it again and it is a Mac again. It's a PC running at full speed, but it can only be either a Mac or a PC at one time. To switch from a Mac app to a Windows app, you need to reboot.
With Parallels, your computer is a Mac and a PC at the same time. You will want plenty of RAM because you need enough RAM for a Mac, _plus_ enough RAM for a PC, at the same time. But you have the huge advantage that you don't need to restart your computer to switch from a Mac app to a Windows app; switching forth and back happens immediately. Additional advantage when you have a Fusion drive, it works with Parallels as well.

This is like asking: Which is better, a beat up Ferrari that's been gutted of all it's internal components, that you can have right now, or one that's brand new that you can have later.
Of course Bootcamp is better in every measurable and conceivable way, the only reason that paralells exists is because it's more convenient than having to reboot into windows. It's less than half as fast though and is extremely wasteful. You can run graphic intensive games from 2 years ago on medium settings with paralells on a brand new MacBook Pro 15 (retina or classic). Anything beyond that and it will struggle very badly.

Might as well answer the OP with some real data. The most interesting benchmarks pertaining to this discussion can be seen by scrolling down on this page:
There is no question that bootcamp performance is far superior in the tested games and that in particular, DirectX performance is not ready for prime time at all. The Parallels folks shouldn't even release it in its current state imo. It is not useful really with one possible exception: Halo 2.
On the other hand, it is worthy of note that these same benchmarks also show performance levels might be acceptable for some, depending on game, in exchange for the convenience of not having to reboot. In other words, anything running 30+ FPS might be okay depending on the individual although I'd argue for 60 FPS being desirable for a shooter and necessary if you want to be competitive in an online FPS.
In conclusion, Parallels definitely has its uses as part of a gamer's toolbox on a Mac but for the most recent cutting edge games that demand a lot of the hardware, there is no substitute for bootcamp. I use Parallels for less demanding games and love it for that but I wouldn't attempt the newest titles because I want better performance than it could give me for those.

People are saying things in confusing ways....
There is no such thing as "Bootcamp performance"
When you install Windows using Bootcamp... its just a tool to help you set up a dual boot. When you are running Windows by booting directly into it... its just normal Windows on a normal PC like any other Windows computer.. the way Windows was made to run.... of course it will be faster.
Running Windows in a virtual machine is running Windows installed through a program pretending to be a computer.... you have a huge extra layer of work going on there as the program has to make in software a whole computer system for Windows to run on... since its not running directly on the real hardware.
Hardware taking care of something vs software taking care of something... normally hardware is always MUCH faster. This is why you buy things like a GPU to process graphics and don't use software rendering.
so it comes simply down to what is better for you?
If "better" for you is maximum game frame rates and graphics settings... then running a normal Windows PC for a Windows game is of course the fastest and easiest (this is also known as Bootcamp).

McCafe push will continue, McDonald's says
McDonald's Corp. said it would continue a massive McCafe marketing campaign that has helped push it to No. 2 in a survey of U.S. coffee drinkers.
A BIGResearch survey of 8,000 consumers in May ranked McDonald's in front of Dunkin' Donuts, but behind Starbucks as the coffee house most U.S. consumers turn to for a cup of Joe.
In a separate survey, 6,000 consumers indicated Starbucks was their favorite brand, dislodging Dunkin' Donuts from the No. 1 spot.
We've obviously had some kind of competitive onslaught from McDonald's and Starbucks, said Dunkin' Brands Inc. Chief Executive Officer Nigel Travis.
But we seem to be withstanding that well, he told The Boston Globe Thursday.
Food industry consultant Dennis Lombardi at WD Partners said McDonald's was
like a 9,000-pound gorilla, putting on
a very strong push to build share with its McCafe brand.
Travis said, McDonald's, "can't promote coffee forever because they've got lots of other products to focus on.'
But McDonald's spokeswoman Danya Proud said the company would keep the campaign going strong through the summer.
Coffee continues to be a significant opportunity for McDonald's," Proud said. We will continue to see a heavy promotion of our new McCafe through the summer."

My husband and I are planning to go on a 12 day eastern mediterranean cruise and since it would be a long time to be away from our little guy, we are bringing him and my mother for an extra pair of hands. The one port on the cruise that I am most concerned with is Cairo. My pediatrician says that he, personally, wouldn't take his baby, but that my son should be fine on the cruise as long as I keep him on the ship for that port. Frankly, that is the most exciting port on the cruise and we'd hate to miss the pyramids. Am I foolish to even take the baby all the way to Europe (we live in Hawaii) let alone, take him off the ship in Cairo? My thoughts are that the older he gets, the harder he will be to travel with until he's around 3 or 4. Also, the flight will be broken up and we will have a couple of layovers to rest up. Secondly, he has most (but not all) of his shots. What do you guys think? Oh, and should we bring a car seat to Europe? Not sure what the law is and we won't be spending much time in cars/taxis...just from the airport to the hotel and then the hotel to the port.
Am I being foolish to take my baby at 6 months?

I would take the baby on a cruise for sure. Do it now before the baby is much more mobile. I'm just curious about the Dr. saying he wouldn't bring a baby to Cairo. I don't know enough about Cairo to know what the problem would be (ie. health, crime, etc.). Re: the infant car seat, I would bring the bucket type carseat for sure. You will probably find it convenient to have as baby can sleep in it on the plane, while driving, etc. Also, it will be safer for the baby. Assuming you have one that connects to a stroller, just bring the carseat and click it on to the stroller to get from place to place. I'm not sure if you're familiar with cruisecritic.com, but I use it for all my cruises. If you go on the boards and check specifically the ports of call section and look up your ports you'll get amazing info. Also, check out the family cruising section and you can probably find other parents that have recently cruised to Cairo. Good luck.

Another new book in our series, this one by Trevor Owens: "Designing Online Communities"
From the back cover:
Discussion on the Web is mediated through layers of software and protocols. As scholars increasingly study communication and learning on the Internet, it is essential to consider how site administrators, programmers, and designers create interfaces and enable functionality. The managers, administrators, and designers of online communities can turn to more than 20 years of technical books for guidance on how to design online communities towards particular objectives. Through analysis of this "how to" literature, Designing Online Communities explores the discourse of design and configuration that partially structures online communities and later social networks. Tracking the history of notions of community in these books suggests the emergence of a logic of permission and control. Online community defies many conventional notions of community. Participants are increasingly treated as "users", or even as commodities themselves to be used. Through consideration of the particular tactics of these administrators, this book suggests how researchers should approach the study and analysis of the records of online communication.Advance praise for Designing Online Communities can be found here.

New book in our series: Matt Farber's "Gamify Your Classroom"
This book is a field guide on how to implement game-based learning and «gamification» techniques to the everyday teaching. It is a survey of best practices aggregated from interviews with experts in the field, including: James Paul Gee (Author, What Video Games Have to Teach Us about Learning and Literacy); Henry Jenkins (Provost Professor at University of Southern California); Katie Salen (Founder, Institute of Play); Bernie DeKoven (Author, A Playful Path); Richard Bartle (Bartle's Player Type Theory); Kurt Squire (Games + Learning + Society Center); Jessica Millstone (Joan Ganz Cooney Center), Dan White (Filament Games); Erin Hoffman (GlassLab games); Jesse Schell (Schell Games/Professor at Carnegie Mellon); Tracy Fullerton (University of Southern California Game Innovation Lab); Alan Gershenfeld (E-Line Media); Noah Falstein (Chief Game Designer, Google); Valerie Shute (Professor at Florida State University); Lee Sheldon (Author, The Multiplayer Classroom); Robert J. Torres (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), Asi Burak (President, Games for Change); Toby Rowland (MangaHigh); Jocelyn Leavitt (Hopscotch); Krishna Vedati (Tynker); and researchers at BrainPOP and designers from Electric Funstuff (Mission U.S. games). Each chapter concludes with practical lesson plan ideas, games to play (both digital and tabletop), and links to research further. Much of the book draws on the author's experiences implementing games with his middle school students. Regardless of your teaching discipline or grade level, whether you are a pre-service teacher or veteran educator, this book will engage and reinvigorate the way you teach and how your students learn.Here's Matt himself talking about his book.
This is a must-have book for any new literacies or new media scholar!

Third new book in our series! "English Teaching and New Literacies Pedagogy"
From the back cover:
[This collection] is about the fusion of media and narrative, and explores theoretical and practical dimensions of young people's engagement with contemporary forms of text. It showcases a range of critical interpretative approaches for integrating multimedia narratives into English teaching contexts, including animated films such as Shaun Tan's The Lost Thing, digital novels such as Inanimate Alice and 5 Haitis, and a virtual treatment of Shakespeare's Macbeth. English teachers across grade levels will recognize the valuing of literature and will appreciate the practical pedagogy and fostering of creativity as students are encouraged to explore new forms of narrative. In the context of developing expertise in knowing how multimodal texts work, students can apply that knowledge in their own authoring of digital multimedia narratives.Contents include:
- Len Unsworth: Toward a Metalanguage for Multimedia Narrative Interpretation and Authoring Pedagogy: A National Curriculum Perspective from Australia
- Angela Thomas: Using Contemporary Picture Books to Explore the Concept of Intermodal Complementarity
- Angela Thomas: Digital Fiction
- Thomas Apperley & Catherine Beavis: A Model for Critical Games Literacy
- Paul D. Chandler: Enabling Students to Be Effective Multimodal Authors
- Len Unsworth: The Image/Language Interface in Picture Books as Animated Films: A Focus for New Narrative Interpretation and Composition Pedagogies
- Annemaree O'Brien: Using Focalisation Choices to Manipulate Audience Viewpoint in 3-D Animation Narratives: What Do Student Authors Need to Know?
- Martin Waller: Social Media, Education, and Contentious Literacies

Another lovely new book in our series: "Community-Based Multiliteracies and Digital Media Projects"
Within community-based digital literacies work, a fundamental question remains unanswered: Where are the stories and reflections of the researchers, scholars, and community workers themselves? We have learned much about contexts, discourses, and the multimodal nature of meaning making in literacy and digital media experiences. However, we have learned very little about those who initiate, facilitate, and direct these community-based multiliteracies and digital media projects. In Community-Based Multiliteracies & Digital Media Projects: Questioning Assumptions and Exploring Realities, contributors discuss exemplary work in the field of community-based digital literacies, while providing an insightful and critical perspective on how we begin to write ourselves into the stories of our work. In doing so, the book makes a powerful contribution to digital literacies praxis and pedagogy - within and outside of community-based contexts.A particular strength of the various chapters in this collection is that the authors do not shy away from talking about things that went awry or didn't work out so well (and reasons why), along with what did work. There are so many practical insights for non-profit community groups in this book that will help to smooth project development and implementation, as well as theoretical insights that help us to think more clearly about what it means to be part of/work with communities.

And reviews are already streaming in for this collection and include comments such as:
"What I so appreciate about this important volume is that the authors take up as central the kinds of conversations that too often only happen off the record. Fearlessly, they explore the messiness of research on digital media literacies. They ask what to do when things don't go as planned, when deeply personal stories go public, when intentions bump up against realities within the politics of 'doing good.' We all need to think deeply about these issues together, and to speak of them out loud and on the record. We need methods to embed reflection and critical analysis of process into multiliteracies research, which is precisely the mandate this collection delivers on, with clarity and courage." (Dr. Elisabeth Soep, Senior Producer and Research Director, Youth Radio)
"By playing at the intersection of the digital literacy and community context, the editors and their co-authors move beyond traditional conversations about the pedagogical and programmatic mechanics of utilizing digital media to the criti-cal examination of digital literacies in specific contexts and the associated chal-lenges that accompany this work. As a STEAM educator and community advocate, I believe that through their work, Heather M. Pleasants and Dana E. Salter have created an invaluable space to interrogate some of the key questions facing those hoping to empower educators and students to utilize digital media to change and improve their world." (Dr. Brian Williams, Director, Alonzo A. Crim Center for Urban Educational Excellence, and Assistant Professor, Early Childhood Education, Georgia State University)
"This is a beautifully conceptualized collection. The editors have invited experienced, self-reflective, community-based practitioners to 'write themselves into the story' of their work and the result is a nuanced conversation about the intricacies, ambiguities, challenges, and the inspiration of collaborating across boundaries to create media that matter. The insights shared and questions explored are invaluably generative. They help us think critically about the ethics, integrity, and purposes of our labor. They remind us that reflection into process is not for the footnotes; rather, it is central to the story of social justice work." (Darcy Alexandra, visual anthropologist, writer, educator, and documentary practitioner, Centre for Transcultural Research and Media Practice, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland)
New book in our series: "Youth Community Inquiry: New Media for Community and Personal Growth"
Youth Community Inquiry offers a detailed look at how young people use new media to help their communities thrive. Chapters address questions about learning, digital technology, and community engagement through the theory of community inquiry. The settings range from a small farming town, to a mostly immigrant community, to inner-city Chicago, and include youth from ages eight to 20. Going beyond works on social media in a narrow sense, the projects in these settings involve the use of varied technologies, such as GPS/GIS mapping tools, video production, use of archives and databases, podcasts, and Internet radio. The development of inquiry-based activities serves as a record of the diverse experiences and a guide to future projects. The book concludes with an overview of a curriculum that readers may adapt for their own settings.Edited by three internationally renown scholars whose body of work in community inquiry has long shaped and informed this important field, the book's contents include:

Call for book proposals for our series: New Literacies
Those of you in the northern hemisphere who have enjoyed a restful and restorative summer and who are ready to get back into work with gusto, and those of you in the southern hemisphere who are heading into a lessening of winter and starting to feel your blood quicken in your veins, might want to think about working on a book proposal to submit for consideration for publication in our series with Peter Lang.
The series--New Literacies and Digital Epistemologies--focusses on publishing single-authored and edited books that focus on some aspect of new literacies. For us, new literacies are best described as newly developed or newly understood "socially recognized ways of generating, communicating and negotiating meaningful content through the medium of encoded texts within contexts of participation in Discourses (or, as members of Discourses)" (Lankshear and Knobel 2006: 64). The series does have a definite lean towards sociocultural theorisations of literacy practices, but not exclusively so. To obtain a sense of what's already been published in this series, and the kinds of things we're looking for, click here, then type "new literacies" into the series title window. Our scope is really quite open.
In terms of putting together a book proposal, the following template offers a starting place.
Book proposal template
1. Proposed book title
2. Author details
3. Summary description of and rationale for proposed book (a paragraph or two)
4. Statement regarding intended audience or readership
5. Competing books in the area
Identify closest competitors and explain how your book will differ from these.
6. Course relevance
If possible, sketch ideas for specific university courses and the like where this book can be used. Part of submitting a successful proposal is showing a market exists for it.
7. Background to the proposed book
This is a more extended explanation of the proposed book. This section may well have a bibliography
8. Features
Explicitly identify things in the proposed book that make it distinctive
9. Recent Relevant Publications
List relevant publications that show you have an established track record
10. Provisional Outline of Contents
Provide a chapter-by-chapter account of the proposed book; include proposed author names if proposing an edited collection
11. Approximate Word Length
95,000 words (including the bibliography/ies is a good length to aim at)
12. Timetable
Indicate a realistic date for completion of the manuscript
Additional tips
- Describing your proposed book in terms of it being based on your doctoral research, or on a conference symposium, won't work in your favour
- Write your proposal with an international audience in mind (e.g., don't use terms like "sophomore" or regional acronyms; don't assume widespread knowledge of a regional policy)
- Be as succinct and to-the-point as possible (5 single-spaced pages for an entire proposal is a typical median length)
You can also get in touch with Michele (firstname.lastname@example.com) and ask for advice or sample proposals, too. Email her your finished proposals and we'll set them on the review path.

it and didn't take advantage. Instead, he went along with the decision to polarize everything—homeland security, the war, religion, the Justice Department."
"Was that Bush?" I asked. "Or was it Rove?"
"The tone is set at the top," he said. "The president can stop it."
Weaver has said that the primary showdown between Bush and McCain was "the proudest thing I've ever been involved in. It was as tough as any in history. John didn't know Bush. He knew his father and had lots of respect for him. He thought W. was a likable guy. The antipathy didn't surface until South Carolina."
McCain was a formidable candidate. "He was second only to Colin Powell in the admiration of the American people," Weaver reminded me. "He had a power base outside of Washington." The game plan was for McCain to win New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Michigan, showing strength in three very different states, and create enough momentum to run the table. It almost worked. New Hampshire was a rout—"the worst defeat suffered by a front-runner of either party in the modern history of the New Hampshire primary," according to the Washington Post—and the battle shifted to South Carolina.
The Bush campaign had to hit McCain hard, and it did. It unleashed J. Thomas Burch Jr., the chairman of the National Vietnam and Gulf War Veterans Coalition, to charge that the former Navy pilot—and war hero—was weak on veterans' issues ("McCain had the power to help … veterans," Burch is quoted as saying in Alexander's book. "He came home, forgot us.") And that was just the beginning.
In a recent article titled "Frenemies: The McCain-Bush Dance," about the on-again, off-again Bush-McCain relationship, Time retold the story of the pivotal South Carolina primary, which turned out to be a winner-take-all battle for the Republican presidential nomination. "Bush's high command agreed to attack McCain as a double-talking Washington insider and closet liberal," the article explained. "A network of murky anti-McCain groups ran push polls spreading lies about McCain's record. They papered the state with leaflets claiming, among other things, that Cindy McCain was a drug addict and John had fathered a black child out of wedlock, complete with a family photograph. The dark-skinned girl in the photo was, in fact, the McCains' daughter, Bridget, whom they adopted as an infant after Cindy met her on a charity mission at Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh."
"Up to that point in the campaign," Time wrote, "McCain had been more or less ambivalent about Bush personally." The article quotes "a close McCain associate" as saying, "He thought Bush was a lightweight but a nice enough guy." Not after the campaign turned nasty. "During a commercial break in a debate," the article recounted, "Bush put his hand on McCain's arm and swore he had nothing to do with the slander being thrown at his opponent. 'Don't give me that shit,' McCain growled. 'And take your hands off me.'"
Looking back on it, however, Weaver does not blame Rove for McCain's defeat. "Our mistake was that we made emotional decisions," he said. "We stopped talking about our reform agenda and started talking about process, what Bush was saying about us." I said I thought Bush probably had the breadth of support and the resources to survive a loss in an early state like New Hampshire, South Carolina, or Michigan. "It was always a long shot," Weaver conceded. "We had to win all three primaries. And even then we might not have won the nomination." (McCain did win Michigan, but by then it was too late.)
Weaver and Rove finally buried the hatchet at a meeting arranged by Mark McKinnon, a mutual friend and a Democrat who had worked for both Bush and McCain. As Weaver puts it, "Karl and I came to our own peace." But he still thinks that it was a mistake for Bush to bring his political consultant into the White House. "If John McCain is the president," he said, "there won't be a John Weaver type in charge of domestic policy." And he remains puzzled by the two presidential races Rove ran for Bush. "I know Karl wanted to expand the party and improve Hispanic outreach," he said. "But when he had his opportunity, he chose not to do that." Instead he stuck with the Republican base.
"He chose to win both campaigns by a field goal," Weaver said. "Ronald Reagan always advised, 'Run on bold colors, not pale pastels.'"
For a time after Weaver left the McCain campaign, he remained in touch. In February, a flap arose about whether Weaver was the source of a New York Times story that hinted at a romantic link between McCain and a female lobbyist, and some reports portrayed the former strategist as on the outs with the new campaign leadership. Weaver denied this, telling the Washington Post: "From the moment I left the campaign until today, not one day—not one—has gone by that I haven't reactively or proactively talked with the campaign leadership… . To suggest anything else is wrong, a lie and meant to do nothing but harm." (Senior campaign adviser Steve Schmidt went on MSNBC to defend Weaver as well.)
But in our conversation, he made no effort to conceal his disagreement with the current strategy of attacking Obama. "They want to get Obama's negatives up, but the country doesn't want to hear it," Weaver said. "If we run that kind of campaign, Obama could win by a landslide." Indeed, McCain's recent "celebrity" television ad, which featured shots of controversial celebrities Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, turned out to be a hanging curve for Obama, who responded immediately: "You'd think we'd be having a serious debate. But so far, all we've been hearing about is Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. I do have to ask my opponent: Is that the best you can come up with? Is that really what this election is about? Is that what is worthy of the American people?"
In contrast, Weaver told me, "I would go

The shell of Urosalpinx cinerea is knobby having rugged whorls (turns of the shell) with rounded shoulders usually numbering 5. Each complete turn of the Atlantic oyster has 9-12 vertical, rounded ribs crossed with 15 rows of thinner spiral ridges. The aperture (opening through which the snail moves in and out of the shell) of U. cinerea is oval with an open canal at the base. Shells are usually yellow sometimes orange, grey or white and occasionally bearing brown streaks. The interior of the shell can be purple, red-brown or yellow. The operculum (the plate that closes to protect the snail when it is inside its shell) can be orange or yellow-brown.U. cinerea, a mollusk in the family Muricidae, is considered a major pest among the world's bivalve fisheries (Robinson and Dillon 2008). In colder waters, this species will be dormant throughout the winter and emerge in April to feed (Franz 1971).

I will mix me a drink of stars,—
Large stars with polychrome needles,
Small stars jetting maroon and crimson,
Cool, quiet, green stars.
I will tear them out of the sky,
And squeeze them over an old silver cup,
And I will pour the cold scorn of my Beloved into it,
So that my drink shall be bubbled with ice.
It will lap and scratch
As I swallow it down;
And I shall feel it as a serpent of fire,
Coiling and twisting in my belly.
His snortings will rise to my head,
And I shall be hot, and laugh,
Forgetting that I have ever known a woman.
Many in academia have long known about how the practice of student evaluations of professors is inherently biased against female professors. . . .
That's the title (minus the quotation marks) of an article on politico.com regarding Rolling Stone's retraction of a story about a gang rape at the University of Virginia. The article is written by a female student at that university.
"We" believed the story for the same reason Rolling Stone didn't fact check it: because when you know little, it's easier to fit everything you do know into a simple story about the world, e.g., "white men are rapists."
Also because people can maintain an unshakable faith in any proposition, however absurd, when they're sustained by a community of like-minded believers.
On the flip side, a different group of people can now use the incident to confirm their simple story about the world, e.g., "women are liars."
Personally I find labeling and smearing people based on genetic traits ugly and offensive no matter whose agenda is being advanced . . .
A man in Texas shot two people breaking into his home, which probably wouldn't be terribly newsworthy except that the two people were both women.
Armed robbery is like technology and engineering in that it's a profession in which women are seriously underrepresented so I endorse this as a step forward for diversity and inclusiveness.
There is the soft and willing and alcoholic blonde who doesn't care what she wears as long as it is mink or where she goes as long as it is the Starlight Room and there is plenty of dry champagne. There is the small perky blonde who is a little pal and wants to pay her own way and is full of sunshine and common sense and knows judo from the ground up and can toss a truck driver over her shoulder without missing more than one sentence out of the editorial in the Saturday Review. There is the pale, pale blonde with anemia of some non-fatal but incurable type. She is very languid and very shadowy and she speaks softly out of nowhere and you can't lay a finger on her because in the first place you don't want to and in the second place she is reading The Waste Land or Dante in the original, or Kafka or Kierkegaard or studying Provençal. She adores music and when the New York Philharmonic is playing Hindemith she can tell you which one of the six bass viols came in a quarter of a beat late. I hear Toscanini can also. That makes two of them.
"In paths untrodden," as Walt Whitman marvelously put it. "Escaped from the life that exhibits itself . . ." Oh, that's a plague, the life that exhibits itself, a real plague!
Who the heck is Olivia Wilde and why is there a photo all over the Internet of her breastfeeding an infant in a restaurant booth? I mean, not a surreptitious candid photo of her discreetly breastfeeding. A posed photo! In a designer dress!
(I'm not posting or linking to the photo. If you haven't already seen it, I'm sure you can find it.)
Well it's a natural function, breastfeeding — right? Yeah, but there are a number of natural functions that need not be performed in public and photographed.
The life that exhibits itself . . . what a plague indeed.
An ovulating female chimp, that is. Nearly all female primates advertise their days of fertility with colorful genital swellings.
It seems like a useful indicator for humans trying to have babies or trying not to have babies, but for some reason evolution has seen fit to conceal the reproductive state of human females from observation.
Everyone can shut up about "let's get more women into leadership positions." Because they don't want leadership positions. Or they'd get them. Obviously. Women want to have time for their kids. And leaders – especially top-down leaders – dedicate their lives to their work. There won't be female leadership and male leadership. There will be people who lead at home and people who lead at work. People will take ownership of outcomes for the areas of life they care most about.
The home crowd of the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks is known as The 12th Man. Isn't this awfully sexist? Doesn't it marginalize female Seahawk fans? Wouldn't The 12th Person be a more appropriate appellation?
I'm surprised there isn't more outrage over this. It seems like the kind of thing that someone should be really bent out of shape about.
From 30 feet away she looked like a lot of class. From 10 feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from 30 feet away.
According to this recently published research paper, women aren't interested in computer science because of media portrayals like "The Big Bang Theory," in which technologists are depicted as socially awkward, interested in science fiction and video games and physically unattractive.
If that seems like a compelling line of reasoning, you can read a more complete write-up in this WSJ.com article.
What I've never been able to figure out is why people are so interested in why women aren't interested in computer science . . .
I saw this photo today on Facebook with a comment added by the poster: "She was a size 12."
I'm an empiricist. Maybe "empiricist" is a polite word for what I am. I hate things that don't make sense.
Marilyn Monroe being a size 12 is one of those bits of misinformation that lives forever because a lot of people would like for it to be true. And yet, anyone who's ever seen Marilyn Monroe — her full figure — in a movie or photo would notice that she had a very small waist and was obviously NOT a size 12.
So I commented that while Marilyn's point is well taken, on her worst day she was not a size 12.
The original poster replied, "Of course none of this is verifiable at this point, but your comment does not help empower those who are inspired by this 'fact,' no matter how true it is. Point is, girls/women who don't fit the unrealistic supermodel form need to have something to reinforce a more realistic view of women, and of success. By unnecessarily giving your "correction" about how there is NO WAY someone that hot could be a 12, you are in essence proving my point about how, to men, dress size determines desirability. Such men, as the oppressors and the ones who, undeservedly, create the social values that drive our society, need to be met with some strong and intelligent women who challenge their definition and labeling of women."
[Insert cuckoo clock sound effects here.]
We can feel better about ourselves without actually losing weight or getting in shape if men would just let us pretend that Marilyn Monroe was a size 12.
Look: if you want to be with guys who like thin girls, then you need to be thin. Otherwise, stop worrying about Marilyn Monroe's dress size and what other people think about the way you look. And stop blaming men for your problems in life as though "men" is an actual group of people who've all agreed to think and act the same way.
In other empowering news, Albert Einstein actually had an IQ of 68. He was a total fucking moron! It's empowering so it doesn't have to be true.
P.S. Jessica Siegel (size 12) has posted photos of herself trying to fit into some of Marilyn's frocks.
I get a lot of spam lately with that topic: 3 Questions That Get All Women Excited.
Does anyone know what the questions are? Asking for a friend . . .
EppsNet stands behind Joyce Carol Oates in this Twitstorm, in opposition to those who think that while raping women may be a bad thing, what's really deplorable is freedom of thought and questioning theocracy. In solidarity, we publish a couple of previously unseen (because they're terrible) photos of the two of us taken with Mark Twain in the Doe Library at UC Berkeley.
Silicon Valley Discriminates Against Women, Even If They're Better — PBS NewsHour
An academic says that Silicon Valley is "not a meritocracy."
He doesn't offer any evidence to support that. He just looked around and noticed more men than women in the high-tech workforce.
The fact that there are more members of Group A doing X than there are members of Group B doing X is not evidence that members of Group B are being discriminated against in their efforts to do X.
In particular, he says that only 3 percent of tech firms in the Valley were founded by women, as though founding a tech firm is a fun thing that everyone should want to do.
Founding a startup is an ultra-high-risk activity that requires insane amounts of time and sacrifice. Do you want to have friends? A social life? Do you have a family? Do you want to have a family? Do you want to see them sometimes?
The fact that more men than women are founding startups is not evidence that women are being discriminated against. The simplest explanation is that women just don't want to do it as much as men do.
Best-educated moms are also more likely to 'opt out,' research finds
Opt out of what?
It turns out "opt out" means opt out of the workforce. How is a mom staying home and raising her kids considered "opting out"?

That would actually be pretty awesome, haha. I am actually interested in this game! I'm looking forward to it. Sure, it's not your regular Wrestling or WWE game, but it does seem interesting and you should take it for what it is either way - a fighting game ;).
Of course, I'm still more interested for WWE '12, but WWE Brawl seems like another nice spin off, like All Stars.

January's the month to prepare the rest of the year
Fertilize coastal citrus this month with a good balanced NPK blend. (that's nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). There are blends of fertilizer that are specific to citrus, but if you keep the ratio at 4:2:1 with the nitrogen below 20, any will work. If you live inland, where frosts still hit us through February, wait until March to fertilize citrus. In either case, fertilize once a month on to June, according to the tree's maturity and the rate on the bag of fertilizer.
Water wisdom: Remember to gauge how much water your garden is really getting. We haven't had any big rains yet, so deep watering of winter lawns and trees are still essential. Also, if you have citrus, be sure they get a good deep watering with the fertilizer you apply every month.
Uninvited guests: Ants. These are not your parents' sisters. Eliminate this pest and you will control the aphids, mealy bug, whitefly and scale that the ant "farms" on your plants in the garden. Use due diligence to find the ant nests and bait or spray at the source. For around the house, a professional pest company may be best with stronger products that will take out the colony. For the entire garden, bait the nest or spray the ground. If this is not possible, at least protect the trees and shrubs with an ant barrier like Tanglefoot.
All deciduous plants should be sprayed with dormant spray. Dormant spray will control disease and insects. This should be your second application, November or December being the first. If you did not treat then, spray now and again in two weeks. Don't miss this important step in garden health.

Banderas, Dawson join Latino inaugural in DC
Wednesday - 1/16/2013, 8:49pm EST
By BRETT ZONGKER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Antonio Banderas, Rosario Dawson and Marc Anthony are joining an A-list lineup of entertainers who will gather to celebrate Latino culture in Washington on the eve of President Barack Obama's inauguration.
Eva Longoria is hosting "Latino Inaugural 2013: In Performance at the Kennedy Center" Sunday night. The lineup also includes Jose Feliciano, Prince Royce, Frankie Negron, Rita Moreno and Mario Lopez.
Organizers told The Associated Press Wednesday night that San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who gave the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention, will speak to the crowd. Obama has been invited to attend.
Following an election when Latinos showed their growing political strength, a coalition of Latino groups coordinated the inaugural gathering.
The Kennedy Center will present the event in two of its largest theaters.

Toll offers buyers unique website to preview home options
With Toll Brothers' unique Design Your Own Home website, new home buyers can begin to see the possibilities for creating their dream home. Buyers can easily personalize a Toll Brothers floor plan with popular structural options and preview them on their computer.
"The Design Your Own Home site is a great tool for new home buyers to see a sampling of what's possible," said Ken Thirtyacre, president of Toll Brothers Florida West Division. "It allows them to try out a number of different selections, see how each works in the Toll Brothers design they've chosen, and then print out their floor plan to discuss with their Toll Brothers sales associate."
For example, the Saranac, a popular home design available at Bonita Lakes and Belle Lago, offers three bedrooms plus a study, two, and one-half baths in the basic design. There are several different options that buyers may add to the floor plan in the program. They can include an alternate master suite, a different kitchen layout, a wet bar, an expanded master bedroom, a bedroom instead of a study, expanded guest bedrooms, a second master suite instead of three bedrooms, an additional bath, a cabana bath, and much more.
There is also a feature that allows buyers to identify exactly where they would like electrical outlets, fans, cable and phone and data jacks.
"Our most popular designs may be accessed with the Design Your Own Home web site," Thirtyacre said. "In addition to structural options, buyers may choose from hundreds of selections at Toll Brothers' Regional Design Studio to create a home that's truly one of a kind."
Options offered may not be available in all communities, so buyers should check with the sales manager for their community of choice for details about the model selected and for a complete list of the designs and options available. For more information, visit DesignYourOwnHome.com.
Toll Brothers' communities in Southwest Florida include Bonita Lakes, a new community of luxury single-family homes on Imperial Parkway in Bonita Springs priced from the low $300,000s to the $500,000s; The Reserve at Estero, a community of single-family homes on Estero Parkway priced from the $200,000s; Firano at Naples, a community of single-family homes off Davis Boulevard in Naples priced from the mid-$300,000s; and Belle Lago, a single-family community nearing sellout on Estero Parkway priced from the mid-$300,000s to the $500,000s.

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) and Diabetes UK Cymru are appealing for enthusiastic volunteers in Wrexham to help out at a collection weekend at their local Tesco store in Cefn Mawr.
The collection will take place as part of a weekend of fundraising at Tesco stores across Wales and the UK on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 June. The charities aim to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds as part of the major national charity partnership between the two organisations and Tesco.
BHF and Diabetes UK are recruiting thousands of volunteers across the UK and are looking for 16 volunteers in the Wrexham's Cefn Mawr Extra store to help out at the Big Collection weekend.
A university has joined forces with a globally-renowned classical music festival to light up North Wales.
Glyndŵr University and North Wales International Music Festival will be working in partnership to mark the International Year of Light.
The university's St Asaph OpTIC Centre – which opened 10 years ago – is to host the festival launch on Tuesday, June 23, and will be among the event sponsors.
The world-leading technology and science complex will also support the festival's groundbreaking education project, entitled The Power of Light , which explores the concept of light through music as well as poetry, visual art and science.
Statement from Wrexham AFC on the passing of photographer Les Evans (full statement at wrexhamafc.co.uk)
"Everyone at the Racecourse was so saddened to hear of the passing of club photographer Les Evans.
He died this morning at Nightingale House Hospice, where the staff have looked after him so well in recent weeks.
Skipper Dean Keates was one of the first to react when he learnt of the news and spoke on behalf of all at the football club.
"He was a great bloke and so much a part of the club during my time," said Dean.
"Les was at every game and was always at the training ground to make sure he got the first photograph of any newsworthy event. He loved to chat about anything that was going on and like a good newspaperman had the nose for a story. We'll all miss him."
Yesterday Wrexham FC announced the appointment of Gary Mills as new manager.
In a statement from the club;
"Following media reports the Board of Directors would like to provide a progress report regarding selection of the new first team manager position at Wrexham AFC.
Following the advertising of the post, we received circa 80 applicants for the position of first team manager. Our search priority was to find a new manager who would play an exciting brand of football and enable us to challenge for promotion again next season.
These criteria were fully met by Gary Mills, whose extensive knowledge of the league and previous promotions made him an ideal candidate.
Significant progress was made in our discussions with Gary and we were able to confirm his appointment on Tuesday evening – prior to his departure for a family holiday.
We would like to thank Gateshead FC and their chairman Graham Wood for the professional way in which they have dealt with our approach"
For full details and to watch the press conference visit www.wrexhamafc.co.uk
The campaign to save Saith Seren from closure has been backed by the Welsh centre's board.
The Wrexham cooperative's board met over the weekend to discuss options facing the centre, which is due to close on May 16th because the community venture has been unable to pay rent.
Marc Jones, who chairs the cooperative, said: "We've been overwhelmed by the support from Wrexham, Wales and beyond after we were told that Saith Seren would be closing. We're very grateful for the kind words from all those who have contacted us.
"As a board we've been very careful to ensure that all our bills can be paid and that our staff are fully paid. We want to make sure that Saith Seren is a going concern.
"That's why we've very grateful that Say Something in Welsh has launched a pledge to give £10 or more a month to support Saith Seren.

2015 IRONMAN Coeur d'Alene Volunteer Registration is now open.
IRONMAN Coeur d'Alene is well known for its welcoming and encouraging Volunteers. Year after year we hear wonderful stories from athletes about Volunteers who added a smile and encouragement. And on the flip side…we love to hear inspirational stories from our Volunteers about their experiences! Incredibly motivating on both sides! We have lost dedicated Volunteers as they take the next step and actually do the race. Congrats on your commitment and we will certainly be there to cheer you on!
We invite you to come and share the fun… the inspiration… and the hope for every athlete!
There are over 100 opportunities to volunteer and we encourage you to sign up early! Volunteer registration will open on February 1st, 2015. If you are not familiar with the volunteer opportunities available, I encourage you to click through and browse the different areas.

This often means they are a community fund group who receives funds through the IRONMAN Foundation – one of the many ways IRONMAN gives back to your Community. Your Volunteer hours would help support that particular group or non-profit.
We love our Volunteers under 18 years-old; however, there are some areas where we must have adults. If you are registering a minor, please be sure to read through the description. Minor children must be registered by their parent or guardians; please pay close attention to the description of duties, waivers and release of liability.
Some great areas for children 10 to 12 are at the Run Aid Stations. For those 12 to 17 yrs.-old – Bike & Run Aid Stations, Gear Bags, General Swim Area , Bike & Run Special Needs, and Bike Handling.

EUGENE, Ore. -- A Eugene boy was rushed to the hospital on Christmas Day, after eating a colorful laundry detergent capsule.
Ariel Rathsack said her son Mason drank the liquid out of the capsule, which some kids mistake for candy. Rathsack found out about it after Mason was suddenly having a hard time breathing.
She called an ambulance and the boy was rushed to the hospital.
While the capsules have made headlines in the past, Rathsack said she thought she'd taken the necessary precautions by putting the capsules on top of the washing machine.
He s a climber, she said. So if you have climbers, put it definitely way above where they can reach it.
Doctors said Mason doesn't have any permanent injuries.

LO doesn't care for solids
Traci (34) & Keith (40) expecting John Nicolas 12-8-13
DS - Henry Louis July 6, 2012
Comments (10)
mine is very similar. We started solids at 5 months. Sometimes, he's super stoked and acts liek a little bird. Mostly when it's bananas. 75% of the time, it's a game of me trying to get him to eat, and him trying to avoid looking in my direction. It's a chore. We jsut keep doing it though and he does end up eating almost 2oz twice a day. IT's jsut very furstrating
Kimberly Lay-coming soon, a little baby girl!
Mine is almost 7 months and gags and throws up any food we try giving her. Even rice or oatmeal cereal! It doesn't matter the consistency either. I'm just taking it that she's not ready. She can't eat breastmilk her whole life so she'll adjust soon enough!
Maybe try to only give it to him once a day? My DD was kind of "eh" about solids too. Only the past couple of days is she eating more and usually when I let her have the spoon. I also give her homemade food and no cereal. I don't stress about it. I offer it, if she only eats 3-4 bites, that's fine. She is mainly supposed to be on BM anyway so no issue. Also, try to feed her a little maybe 30 mins before she would normally eat. They say solids shouldn't replace BM... but I found that she is more interested at 7:30ish... and she will nurse regardless at 8:15pm after her bath because it's bedtime.

"Observe more, do less.
Do less, enjoy more."
-Magda Gerber
Totally normal, and nothing you should be worried about yet, Tons of babies have little to no solids until much after 6 months. My friends 5 yo didnt even have her first taste of anything until 11 months and she eats anything and everything now (just saying that story to the people who think not eating solids always effects how a child eats later in life)
We have no interest in solids either at the moment. So yes, please dont worry that some ladies in here are already giving 12+oz of solids a day or 3 course meals already.
Big Sister 10-2008 (Grade One) Little Sister 7-2012
With my LO I found that giving him multiple breaks during eating time helps him to refocus on the task of eating. When he gets squirmish I just play with him for a minute or so, then continue, and he forgot that he wasn;t happy with the eating before.

(New Bryce user here.)
Are there updated instructions available for importing real topography into Bryce? I've been working with instructions here: http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/artzone/pub/tutorials/bryce/bryce-terrain20
However, the US Geological Survey website listed in the instructions (http://seamless.usgs.gov) has been replaced with a new one (http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer). The instructions say to get the "1 Arc Second" version of the GeoTiff topography data. However, the website says the 1 Arc Second version has been discontinued, but a 1/9 Arc Second version of the GeoTiff data is still available. Unfortunately, when I load the 1/9 Arc Second data in the 3DEM software recommended in the instructions, only part of the map is visible along the bottom of the screen—not the full map.
Are there updated instructions for getting this data into Bryce available? Or is there a way to get the 3DEM software to properly use the 1/9 Arc Second topography data?
Many thanks!
