I try to find the adventure in everything in...
I try to find the adventure in everything in life and am lucky to have an incredible career and lots of characters with whom to hang and travel. I started an online news business that now has eight employees. For recreation, I prefer being outside and active. After work I wanna be playing softball or maybe jogging on the trails or biking.It would be great fun to share some of that, but I am not looking for a workout partner, but rather someone with whom I enjoy being around and having meaningful conversations. (Most of my photos here are from outdoor stuff, but that's because I am a guy and don't take many photos). I appreciate a spirited and meaningful conversation, especially when somebody makes a point I never thought of. And I cherish learning new things. When I get time off, I prefer off the beaten path to, say, a Carnival Cruise. I also love reading the Sunday New York Times and The New Yorker. And the radio program "This American Life.

New England Cranberry Chutney
Tasters' Pick: Almost all of our testers mentioned the word "sweet" when trying to describe New England Cranberry Chutney, but the sweetness of this sauce was balanced nicely with a "tangy" flavor, making it a "nice complement" to the turkey. This taster favorite was also described as having a smoother texture that "melts in your mouth."

A 26-year-old woman stood impassive in the dock as the details of her part in the axe murder of her mother-in-law in Picton last year were described in the High Court in Christchurch.
Janelle Amanda Holl pleaded guilty to a murder charge today, six months after her husband, David Adrian Holl, 20, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole term of 15 years.
Justice Graham Panckhurst remanded her in custody for sentencing on July 18 in the High Court in Blenheim.
She will receive a three-strikes warning for repeat violent offenders when she is sentenced.
Holl pleaded guilty to a charge of murdering Robyn Grace in Picton on January 13 last year.
Crown prosecutor Cathy Bell said Grace was 43 at the time of her death. David Holl was her son.
In 2010, David Holl spoke to the Picton police in an interview that was recorded on DVD. He talked about wanting to be a serial killer.
Since then he had been in regular contact with the police, Child, Youth and Family, and mental health agencies.
Janelle and David Holl had lived in a holiday park in Porirua but returned to Picton on January 5, 2013, and moved in with Grace until they found a place to live.
She let them have the main bedroom while she slept in the lounge.
The relationship between the three became strained to such an extent that Grace slept in her car on the night of January 12.
She told the couple on January 13 that they must move out, and that she had begun looking for a place for them.
When she went out, David Holl told his wife that he was going to kill his mother when she returned.
The couple planned how they would kill her, either by strangulation using a rope or with an axe. They planned to dismember the body and burn parts in the house fire.
David Holl got an axe from the carport, and the pair also had a rope, masking tape and a note entitled "Instructions, Revenge Plan".
When Grace arrived, David Holl grabbed her, putting one hand over her mouth. She began struggling and kicking.
When he tried to pick up the axe, she broke away and made a break for the front door.
The couple caught her at the door, where she was screaming for help.
They pulled her into the lounge, where she continued to struggle and scream.
Neighbours heard the commotion and called the police.
David Holl and Grace fell to the floor and he yelled to Janelle Holl to "use the axe".
She picked up the axe and hit her mother-in-law several times with the back of the axe, on her back and head.
When Grace fell, she was dragged to the bathroom, and Janelle Holl started cleaning up.
When David Holl called her into the bathroom, they saw that Grace was still alive and they took turns hitting her with the back of the axe head until they were satisfied she was dead.
They changed out of their bloody clothes and hid the axe under some items in the laundry.
When police arrived, the couple said there were no problems.
David Holl insisted on a search warrant, but an officer said he was invoking his powers under the Search and Surveillance Act.
Police found Grace's body in the bathroom and arrested the pair, Bell said.
Grace was found to have 35 wounds and injuries.
David Holl declined to be interviewed after his arrest, but Janelle Holl made a full statement that provided the basis for the summary of facts.

President Obama made some exaggerated claims during a recent speech in Cleveland about the Affordable Care Act and the House Republican proposal for Medicare.
A Republican TV ad says Senate candidate Rick Weiland is going across South Dakota saying "he's one of us" when "Weiland supports higher payroll taxes." Not for all, he doesn't.
Longtime Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin is retiring, and Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley and Republican Iowa state Sen. Joni Ernst are each hoping to be the one to replace him.

Vintage: 2009
Despite less than ideal climatic conditions, featuring storms which threatened an otherwise perfect year, most parts of California had an excellent year for viticulture. Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs were picked at optimum ripeness, and Californian white wine was just about as good as it could be. Surprises and overcoming difficulties summed up much of the United States' wine industry in 2009, and many of the results from Oregon, Washington State and all over California speak for themselves, with the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon grapes having developed healthy, thick skins and thus plenty of character and distinction. Elsewhere in the New World, South Africa had a very good year in 2009, and wineries across the cape of the African continent are proclaiming it a truly great vintage. In most of Europe, fine weather and punctual ripening periods produced some excellent wines, with many of the best coming out of France's Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. Merlot had an exceptionally good year in France, and wineries are proclaiming that the 2009 Merlot harvest was one of the best in living memory. Indeed, across most of France, ripening was relatively even, and red wine grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah and others were reportedly highly characterful, with plenty of the required tannin levels with which to make high quality wines. Italy, too, had a very good 2009. Piedmont reported extremely favorable conditions throughout 2009, and their signature Nebbiolo grapes were more or less perfect when harvested, having benefited from the slight drop in temperature at the end of their ripening period. Veneto, too, had an enviable year, producing superb Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay wines in 2009.
Region: Douro
The Douro valley in Portugal has long been one of Europe's most important and unique wine regions, with a history which stretches back over two thousand years to when Pheonician tradesmen and settlers first began planting grapevines in the rich and fertile soil found there. The region itself is something of an ideal location for viticulture, with mineral rich soils and plenty of moisture from the river, alongside long, baking hot summers which help the grapes reach full ripeness. Wineries in the Douro utilize a wide range of grape varietals for their distinctive and characterful wines, including red varietals such as Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Cao, and delightful white varietals such as Gouveio and the increasingly popular Viosinho. However, it is for the fortified wines of Porto which Douro is most famous for, and these are widely considered to be amongst the finest fortified wines in the world.
Country: Portugal
Most of us are quick to associate Portugal primarily with the excellent fortified wines which come out of the Porto area, but there is much more to Portuguese viticulture than just this. Perhaps the most popular still wines the country produces are the varieties from the Vinho Verde region, which uses grapes that do not achieve high doses of sugar, meaning the wines are at their best when young and full of natural, springy fruit flavors The wines of the Douro region have undergone many transformations in their flavor and character over the centuries; once regarded as a bitter wine, the exporters experimented with fortifying the wine with brandy. After several centuries, vintners found a balance in the modern age which is at once reminiscent of Port wine, yet with the structure and character closer to other fine Portuguese wines. Thanks to the appellation system of Portugal and the strict laws governing wine production, Portuguese wines continue to maintain their reputation for quality and the distinctive characteristics they carry.

hibernating dormice. photos by (click pic) george mccarthy, danny green, john (gio), colin varndell, terry whittaker, simon phillpotts, david tipling and m. watson
One extra dormouse for Liberty that I finished a couple of days ago. I don't normally like repeating things (this is my third dormouse) but I've enjoyed having another go at these, probably because they don't take too long - I think this might my favourite so far.
Took a better photo of the dormouse before he goes to his new home. I started to think halfway through that I was pushing my luck by trying to have him fold back over his legs (rather than be completely in profile) but it worked in the end :)
Quercino - Garden Dormouse by Fabrizio Moglia on Flickr.
The Department of Teeny-weeny Wonders is delirious with glee at the sight of this little dormouse, fast asleep and snoring contentedly, still half curled in a ball, tiny paws clutched against his chest. It's pretty clear there's no more work happening today. Dormice are known for undergoing extended periods of hibernation, six months a year or longer if the weather doesn't warm up sufficiently. They'll sometimes wake briefly to eat food they'd previously stored nearby, but most of their eating is done during summer when they fatten themselves up enough to nourish their bodies throughout the next hibernation period.
"For context, this dormouse was found in torpor (a state of not being active and having very little energy) by conservationists, sleeping in a nesting box they had provided. He was only very briefly removed as part of a monitoring project to be checked and weighed to ensure he had enough fat reserves to slumber on through until spring. He was in the hands of a licensed expert and judged to be in good health."
Here's hoping the conservationists read the little dormouse a bedtime story before putting him back inside his cozy nesting box, where we like to imagine he has an itty-bitty bed complete with a very comfy blanket, plenty of pillows, and an even tinier teddy bear.

With the return of the Mad T Party in May, it's almost time to go Back to Wonderland!
When I made the Back to Wonderland graphics for wingbirdx's little project a while back, we both decided we wanted a piece of artwork to go along with it. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know I've been working really hard for the past week to get this all done with enough time left to spare before May for you guys to be able to order t-shirts and stuff. So please, enjoy and feel free share this with any fans who might be interested!
A little dormouse commission. I like the first one I did but always wanted to have another go at it :)

Participation of Cecilia Malmström at the High Level Conference "Empowering local actors to counter violent extremism"
Complete speech
End production:
First transmission:
Cecilia Malmström, Member of the EC in charge of Home Affairs, delivered an opening speech at the High Level Conference "Empowering local actors to counter violent extremism", on 29 January 2013, in Brussels. How to sharpen Europe's tools to prevent violent extremism? The High Level Conference aimed to give the answers to this question, based on the work carried out by experts and practitioners in the Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN), launched by Cecilia Malmström in 2011. Policy proposals include training local police to detect signs of radicalisation into violent extremism, and providing de-radicalisation or exit programs for members of extremist groups. By bringing together field workers with Ministers, academia and local authorities, the conference aimed to take the EU's work against extremism to a new level.

Speech by Cecilia Malmström, Member of the EC in charge of Home Affairs, (in ENGLISH): Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to thank you all for coming to Brussels today. We have Ministers and experts from all over Europe here to share their experiences. With such a distinguished group of people, I must admit I have high expectations. For me, the best outcome of today's event would be if we not only discuss the challenges ahead of us, but also how we can face these challenges and better counter violent extremism. I want to start by reading a few lines from the Swedish Nobel Prize Laureate Tomas Tranströmer. "The truth is on the ground, but no one dares to claim it. The truth is on the street, and no one makes it his". It is about time we recognise the truth about the growing trends of extremism in Europe, which makes it one of the main – if not the main – security challenge to Europe. Violent extremism is more than the threat from extreme islamist groups such as Al Qaida. Violent extremism can arise within any ideology, and the threat today mainly comes from within our own societies, as we saw in the cases of Norway and France. The growing populist, nationalist and xenophobic movements across Europe are a concern to all of us. Extremists are not as easily identifiable as they perhaps once were. Now they also reveal themselves amongst us – they permeate our online environments and to a growing extent even European politics. These extremist groups and political movements often act as a breeding ground for ideology-motivated violence. I am not saying that these movements are directly responsible for terrorist attacks, but we must acknowledge that they provide oxygen - and increasing acceptance - for extremist views.
Speech by Cecilia Malmström (in ENGLISH): We will not be able to counter violent extremism if we don't counter the propaganda of those who support extreme, xenophobic and racist views. Some countries have come a long way in their efforts to counter violent extremism. Others have not yet fully recognised that the challenge of extremism also concerns them. We therefore need to involve more countries in our work, and let those with less experience take advantage of the lessons learned in the countries that have come the furthest. But we all can learn from each other. I think we all agree that most of the work towards violent extremism will have to be done at local or national level. Those closest to the people at risk of becoming radicalised, are also the ones who are best place to detect negative developments and put in place tailored preventive measures. This work must be done with the cooperation of many actors, and not be regarded as a security or law enforcement issue alone. When the core values of our democratic societies are threatened, society as a whole – including schools, health services and NGO's - will have to take action. Although central parts of the preventive work must be done locally and nationally, we also need to be creative to see how we at the EU level can support the Member States. In September 2011, the European Commission launched the Radicalisation Awareness Network to help sharpen EU and Member States tools to counter violent extremism.
Speech by Cecilia Malmström (in ENGLISH): In this room today we have over 100 Members of the Network. And to you I would like to thank those of you here for your commitment and the work you are doing. We have already set up 8 working groups within the RAN to look at particular challenges. And we are of course ready to address new issues as they occur. While the Members of the Network are not invited by nationality, I regret that we do not yet have experts from all Member States represented. But I hope this is something we can change over the coming year. We should also cooperate more with our friends from the external side to prevent violent extremism. This goes for everything from making synergies with global efforts, funding of specific projects to exchanging best and worst practises with actors around the world. Finally, by having gathered many experts, from RAN practitioners and researchers, to ministers and policy makers from across Europe we have set the table for a great discussion. The 15 policy proposals from RAN that have been presented in our discussion paper will serve as food-for-thought. But we should of course not limit ourselves to these suggestions. Today we have a unique opportunity to create new ideas for action and together come up with practical suggestions about the way forward. And let's be clear about one thing. With each growing threat, the EU and its Member States must become better at countering violent extremism. We have to stay ahead of the curve. The conference today is a step in that direction and I'm dedicated to working with the Member States, RAN and all other actors to jointly develop a better toolbox for the EU by the end of 2013. May it be a thought-provoking and rewarding day for all!

Who to you put as the judge of ur life? some say god or children but i say my legacy i leave behind when i die.
Conaie 22-25, F 3 Answers 2 May 28, 2011
Everybody judges. Highbrows who say that they do not, are lying. You should work on your sentence structure, i.e., syntax. How's that for a judgement?
Best Answer
I tend to defer to those who have greater experience than myself. As for God being my judge, I'll find out when I get there. I have certainly done things that I am not proud of. Thank you for your question.
Best Answer
I'm with the some - God.

This is a great article from RWIO Science I felt and it explains what a "Black Swan" is, an event that nobody has predicted and everyone is surprised. We have a lot of them out there floating around today, just yesterday with the tornadoes in Oklahoma for an example. Basically what this article is talking about is modeling and the use of the data in a model and not just the data itself. In addition you hear about the bigger exposure to errors and noise as you look at more and more data, that is a full truism. Everyone wants to apply big data to Black Swan events and see if there's a way to predict next time and sometimes there might be data indicators that would help and other times, you have nothing. Those not in data get easier slided here as they don't know data mechanics and how all of his works. We see it all the time. We do develop too much confidence in our data in more ways than one..example below on my opinion post.
We also have the "expert" paradigm that is alive and well and with the world being so complex today, "experts" as we have known and recognized in the past, just might not be there today.
It does all come back to the interpretation of data and context is everything. Scroll down to the bottom of this blog in the footer and watch the first video for more on that topic and see what Charlie Siefe has to say, who wrote the book "Proofiness, the Dark Arts of Mathematical Deception"… in chatting with Tom Peters on Twitter, he went out and bought it, a good book. Basically when data is used out of context then the fun begins with high levels of noise and errors. We have it in healthcare as insurers and other healthcare entities use models. Watch the video at the link below and hear some big companies and entities to include NASA to hear them question value and models.
One of the best on the web that speaks about models is Cathy O'Neill, a Quant and a modeler, she tells it like it is. Don't lie with models. Further down you can also find some comments from Microsoft on data interpretation and biases too.
We are all still very human and data and math don't always play out the same on computers and screens as it does in the real world, "with software you can do anything"…keep that thought as you watch the video below. BD
Take, for example, Irving Wladawsky-Berger, a strategic advisor to Citigroup and former IBM executive. Wladawsky-Berger is exceptionally bright, someone whose insights into open source helped me a great deal while he was still at IBM. But writing in The Wall Street Journal (" Spotting Black Swans with Data Science "), he "[gets] the Black Swan idea backwards," as Nassim Taleb , professor at New York University's Polytechnic Institute and author of The Black Swan, points out . Completely. Backwards.
Black Swan events are major events that take us by surprise, but afterwards yield clear explanations as to why they happened. Examples include the 9/11 attacks, the rise of the Internet and World War I.
But they can also apply to business, and so there is a temptation to apply Big Data to spot such Black Swans before they happen.
The more frequently you look at data, the more noise you are disproportionally likely to get (rather than the valuable part called the signal); hence the higher the noise to signal ratio.
Whether in our models, our collection of certain kinds of data, or our interpretation of that data, we bring personal biases to the analysis, which Microsoft Research's Kate Crawford argues in Harvard Business Review. We cannot avoid this bias, and the attempt to look for correlation rather than causation in our data solves nothing.
In fact, it arguably makes the problem worse, because it gives us too much confidence in our data.
We're still early in Big Data, and enterprises rightly suspect that Big Data isn't some magic pixie dust that immediately yields insights into how much to charge, where to market, etc. Big Data can help, but it's not The Answer.

A bit more than 15 years ago, the software industry was barreling straight into a crisis: the dreaded Y2K bug. Vital software was going to fail in odd ways, banks weren't going to handle transactions, planes weren't going to fly, nuclear reactors weren't going to react, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria, real wrath of God type stuff.
The software industry rallied, software got patched, and at the stroke of midnight, not much actually happened. Over the past week, a different bug has been keeping a small pool of software developers up at night. Welcome to the world of Y2Gay.
As a general rule, "dead code" should never be commented out, but instead, should be replaced. If you ever need to review the history, source control contains that information.
But sometimes, the "I'll just comment it out" lets us see the moment of realization, when a developer discovers that they've done the absolute wrong thing. Clara sends us this:
Coyne viewed the coming work week with dread. His employer spent roughly the sum of all the employee' 401k holdings on a weeklong mandatory communications training course. The problem of no work getting done during training was solved by having mandatory after-hours work to make up for it.
When Maarten first saw the utility function below, he couldn't imagine why converting a number from
float to
double required a
string intermediate. Fortunately, whoever wrote this code followed best practices: their comment not only explained what the code is doing, it also explained why.
Depending upon how long you've been in this industry, you've seen your fair share of bad design, bad code and bad users. Darren A. explains his dealings with bad management, and how a string of edicts there-from can
crush kill destroy an organization.
In the past, before management decided to, well, manage, Darren's company was able to complete 15-25 major projects each year. Then they hired a new Head of Software Services, who felt that he needed to actively manage all facets of how things were done...

Player By Player Analysis Vs. Plymouth
Max Domi:
Great Game again. 1G 1A +1. Last year, Max kind of fell off after his hat trick opener. That seems to not be the case this year. Max did all the work for the Seth Griffith marker, fought through checks and nothing was going to stop Domi on that play.
Seth Griffith:
Played great again. 1G 2A +1. Always is in the right spot at the right time.
Alex Broadhurst:
Great Player. Hasn't stood out for me so far this season. Liked the overall balance of the team when Broadhurst played with Welychka.
Bo Horvat:
Great game again from Bo Horvat. Horvat was a mainstay in front of the Whaler net. He was actually given an unusual amount of room screening in front.
Chris Tierney:
Good game from Chris, had a couple weak plays. One that stood out to me was when Chris and Welychka were on the PK. Chris skated it out and tried to dangle around the Whaler D, did not happen and he lost the puck, should have just dumped it in. Great saucer pass to Bo Horvat to set up one of his two goals. Good game.
Josh Anderson:
Liked his game as well. Did all the small things right.
Ryan Rupert:
Same Ryan Rupert. Referee's all have his number. 6 penalty minutes. Played 3 shifts that were WAY too long at almost 2 minutes per shift.
Matt Rupert:
Same Matt Rupert. Effective at blocking shots. Hardest working Knight in my opinion.Played 3 shifts that were WAY too long at almost 2 minutes per shift.
Brett Welychka:
Effective penalty killing. If he's going to play on the Rupert line, I believe he is going to have to start throwing his weight around some more. I would still like to see him with Broadhurst in order to increase productivity out of both players. Played 3 shifts that were WAY too long at almost 2 minutes per shift.
Adam Restoule:
Great game. Played some time with Horvat and Tierney. Adam seems to have used all of his sniping abilities up in the first game. Kid tried so hard to get a goal against his former whalers. Great game.
Kyle Platzer:
Solid game again. Really like this kids play. Forcing turnovers and working to get the puck back. Needs to stay on his feet a little more.
Remi Elie:
Best game i've seen him play. Seemed to have his head on straighter. Good Game.
Tyler Ferry:
Scott Harrington:
Solid. There were a couple times where Alex Aleardi was able to dangle around players and Harrington was right there to say "Not gunna happen"
Kevin Raine:
Playing with intensity. Just not quite at the "Freight Train Raine" level quite yet. Nonetheless Solid.
Nikita Zadorov:
I like. Boomer slap shot that I had never seen before, I mean, It was a Rocket. Always looking to be physical which is unusual to see in imports.
Tommy Hughes:
Went under the radar. Didn't do anything spectacular, didn't make mistakes. Solid game.
Oli Maatta:
Couple times his pocket was picked but he always worked to get the puck back. Looked a bit uneasy but can't say he did anything wrong.
Kevin Bailie:
Wow! If you guys aren't on board what will it take? I spoke to Bill Dark about him. He just smiled and said "He's freaky good." Stopped 42/43. I believe, while he may lack a bit of positioning, his mobility and lateral movement stood out for me. Unbelievable game from Kevin Bailie. Jump on guys!

Trafford councilman Bruno resigns
A year after losing his roles as vice president and finance chairman, Frank Bruno is leaving Trafford Council.
Council voted 5-0 at a special meeting Wednesday night to accept his resignation. Bruno and Rita Windsor were absent.
Council is accepting letters of interest from residents through Feb. 15, with the intention of appointing a replacement on Feb. 19.
Bruno, 44, was a power broker during his two-and-a-half terms on council. Handling the finances for most of that time, Bruno led a recovery plan to wipe out nearly $1 million in debt.
But his council colleagues ejected him from the vice presidency and Council President Richard Laird took the finances away from him in March 2012 as they complained that the borough was overspending on construction of a new public-safety building. Council later refinanced its new debts, but estimated the project might cost $600,000 more than the original $2 million loan for it.
Bruno's departure comes three weeks after John Daykon, who now leads the finance committee, rescinded the verbal resignation he offered at a December meeting after the two clashed about a disputed grant to the Trafford Fire Company.
"Being a councilman of Trafford Borough for the last 10 years has truly been an honor, and I am proud to have served such a great community for such a long period of time," Bruno wrote in a letter to Laird dated Jan. 30. "However, I now find myself conflicted by the change in leadership and direction."
