Most of the parks and open spaces here in the springs have opened again after the fire. Due to a scheduling change at work...I have had to resort to early a.m. rides to get my fix. There is something about flying through rock and root infested single track in extremely low light that is enlightening. Havent had this much fun on my mountain bike in a long time.

Today I picked up some Kenda aggressive off-road tires for my trek mountain bike and rode 53.6 miles from palo alto in to east palo alto and over the dumbarton bridge to Coyote hills and rode around there till i hit a new trail called Alameda creek trail that went in to union city. Stopped for a small snack and turned around and rode back around the coyote hills and over dumbarton bridge, before i hit the bridge i found two stranded bikers with one that had a broken pedal on a cheap bike, one of them asked me if i had any duct tape with me, later i bumped into some mountain bikers and i started talking with them till we got to mountainview. After that i headed back home, now i have 1521.8 miles on my mountain bike.

Really haven't done much off road riding this year except on Sunday's with my adult kids. But rode this hot dry afternoon with my son at Riverside. Daughter was bummed because she had to work.

Today my friend and I rode 45.4 miles from Micheal's restaurant in mountainview to and down steven's creek trail till we hit Homestead rd, then left on los padres blvd and left again on Cabrillo ave and on to the San Tomas creek trail heading north. At the end of that trail we then rode on the San Fransisco bay trail that later connected to the moffett bay recreational trail and back to Micheal's for lunch, but later i found out one of my rear spokes snapped. For lunch i ate a burger with fries and my friend had a Chicken salad which smelled good. After lunch I rode home and to Cardinal bike shop and tried to get another spoke but they didn't have it, so i went to bike connection and they didn't have it either, next bike shop was mikes bikes and they had it, so i rode back to cardinal and they fixed it very quickly. Now i have 1640.5 miles on my mountain bike.

Diablo/Creek two Mondays in a row. Flume, Porch, and Pipeline drops crossed off my to-do list today. All three supah smooooove landers, though Porch can be a touch harsh, and Flume has some loose/gravelly stuff to avoid. Always had chickened out on them, and nailed two of them the first run today. Nice! Once I feel I've got them dialed and trouble free, time to look at the next couple larger ones - though they are quite a bit larger, so we'll see. I still suck at clearing tables/gaps, but I guess that is sort of made up for by being fairly decent at wheely drops and riding skinnies. I like progression, but I also dislike being ****ed up and not able to ride.
Me on the Porch, and Anthem drops. Anthem requires more speed. Cased the sh#t out of it the first time, going a bit too slowly. No harm, no foul. More speed the next run set it right.
Eli on Flume.
Josh on Pipeline.
Eli left early, Josh and i did a few more runs. Were headed to go check out a supposedly ugly roller feature on Stigmata, via BMW trail when my rear wheel managed to intersect itself a bit too harshly with a wedge of rock. Did a little manual into a j-hop to get over some rocks, didn't quite clear things as much as I'd planned. doing said move at mach stupid made some bad, bad noises. Oops. Biiiiiig flat spot, lots of spokes flopping about, and a big crack = Dave taking Mary lines down the rest of the run, though I did hit Flume drop one more time...I mean, it is right at the end...
So. new WTB TCS Freeride rim on the way.
Pedaly evening ride at Trumbull on tap for tomorrow evening, after taking the dog for a run, grocery shopping, doing some house cleaning. Taking the hardtail, to restore some balance.
I believe the clouds in my coffee more than the weatherman on t.v.
Youch, that was a good hit on the rim.
Got my first taste of night riding. I like it! Errands & whatnot took longer than expected and so I left the house later than usual. My cheapy lights are enough to get home, but I think I should get brighter on the helmet at least. Had my front fishtail on some gravel, was scary. Kept it upright though, and then promptly lowered the pressure a bit. Also, my elbow has been nagging for a like a week and a half now. It would seem I tweaked it on a ride but I have no idea how .

PRESCOTT - Waitsburg-Prescott plated two first-inning runs and two more in the third to jump out on Weston-McEwen here Monday.
The TigerScots rallied with a four-run fifth inning to tie it up, but W-P put two more runs on the board in the sixth to take the 6-4 nonleague victory.
"I was able to get most of my players in, which is a good thing early in the season," W-M coach T.J. Haguewood said. "I was pleased defensively, it was a cleaner game than we've had in the past. We cut down on errors, which is what we were looking to do.
"Offensively, it was frustrating with some of the swings and the pitch selection we swung at. We had a long break (for spring break), and mentally we were not there."
Drew Greenwalt started on the mound for the TigerScots, but Haguewood pulled him after two W-P batters - giving up a double and recording a strikeout - with a bad arm.
Matt McGill came on in long relief.
"He did a great job," Haguewood said of McGill, who he said had the opportunity to close the game until the two-run W-P sixth.
Calvin Thacker came in to close out the game for the TigerScots.
W-M hosts Horizon Christian, a new member of the Blue Mountain Conference out of Hood River, to start league play with a twin bill at 11 a.m. Saturday.
"I don't know much about them, but I care more about what we do and not what they do," Haguewood said.
W-P 202 002 x - 6 10 1
Greenwalt, McGill (1), Thacker (6) and Salter. Estes, Hamilton (5) and .
HR - none.
Hits - W-M: Greenwalt, Salter, Croswell, McGill 2. W-P: Hofer 2, Bartlow 2, Brannock, Purdin, Hamilton 2, Brock, Zuger.

I read some of the posts on painting.. since I'm leaning toward painting my frame myself.
One thing I didn't see mentioned was if anyone had ever baked that paint job.
So I was wondering; if I fashioned some sort of 'oven' which would hold the frame, does anyone have any idea what temperature and time might help a rattle can enamel paint job cure?

Kuhar is a Cat
Louie Vaccher
Talk about it in The Main Board
The Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward prospect confirmed his verbal commitment via a text message to WildcatReport tonight.
Kuhar has strong ties to the Wildcat program. His brother, Ben, is a fifth-year senior wrestler for Northwestern and has been the Wildcats' starting heavyweight for the last three seasons. Plus, two of Kuhar's former football teammates at St. Edward -- Geoff Mogus and Deonte Gibson -- are true freshmen.
Kuhar is quite a wrestler himself. He finished 29-2 as a heavyweight last season, losing 3-2 in the state final.
Kuhar is being recruited as a defensive tackle, but offensive line coach Adam Cushing told him that interior offensive line is also a possibility.
The addition of Kuhar brings the Wildcats' Class of 2012 to 14. He is the second defensive tackle in the class, joining Connor Mahoney.

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up an archive page that goes and gets all unattached pdfs from the media library and then displays them along with the category each pdf has been assigned via the Media Categories plug-in.
I have spotted this thread here - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/sort-posts-by-category-2 - and have used that as a basis and tried to combine my existing pdf loop into it. Unfortunately I'm not a php expert and it doesn't work.
Can anyone see what I'd have to change to the code below to get it to work please?
global $query_string;
$my_query_string = $query_string;
foreach (array('First Category','Odd Pages','Even Posts') as $catname) {
$catid = get_cat_id($catname);
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_mime_type' => 'application/pdf',
'numberposts' => 6,
'post_status' => null,
'post_parent' => 0,
'cat' => $catid,
'order' => 'desc'
$myquery = new WP_Query($args);
if ($myquery->have_posts()) :
echo "
Posts for Category $catname
";
while ($myquery->have_posts()) : $myquery->the_post(); ?>

" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endwhile;
Many thanks,

Ightham Mote (pronounced "item moat") is a medieval moated manor house close to the village of Ightham, near Sevenoaks in Kent. The name "mote" derives from "moot", "meeting [place]", rather than referring to the body of water. Ightham Mote and its gardens are owned by the National Trust and open to the public.
Originally dating to around 1320, the building's importance lies in the fact that successive owners effected relatively few changes to the main structure, after the completion of the quadrangle with a new chapel in the 16th century. Nikolaus Pevsner called it "the most complete small medieval manor house in the country"
Highlights on the second floor of the house include the Old Chapel, built above the Crypt, and the New Chapel, built around 1480. This latter is a wonderfully panelled chamber with carved box pews, which also boasts a 16th century Spanish cross. The real treat, however, is above your head; look up, and marvel at the painted 16th century barrel-vaulted ceiling. Here there are Tudor symbols everywhere, including red roses, the Beaufort portcullis, and the castle representing Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Further symbols are a quiver of arrows (also for Catherine of Aragon), the fleur-de-lys of France, and the roses of Lancaster and York.
Thanks for your time, as always your thoughts/comments are very welcome

This is a brilliant example of the Art work decor in that wonderful old Building Sarah. So much of it has been re-painted, re-styled and re-vamped through the ages. I pointed out to an old Lady who was answering questions from visitors, that a piece of wooden trim around one of the Rooms was infact showing remnants of a full Wall painting, rather than just a colourful design which She thought it to be. (It was pretty obvious to me)

Caught me out.... I thought you were still in Dover Castle ! !
But Ightham Mote has had recent restoration as well so it has the same theme to it.
You have done rather well here to include as many symbols as possible, but it does need the write up to explain their relevance
Nominating Constructive Critique
Richard,David & Jeff - thank you very much
Jeff, yes along the same theme - this small section doesn't show off the splendour of the ceiling to its best (I know you've seen it) but I did want to include as many of the symbols as possible, being a favourite period of history for me!

Hey, if the senator died under their watch then they weren't very good body guards then, were they?
Indeed. Romulan politics would probably have called for the guards' execution if they had survived. Vreenak's death means they failed, therefore, Romulus would demand that they die as well.
In the 23rd century, the guards would have probably killed themselves,
style. In the 24th century, they would probably have been killed by someone else. Subtle, but noteworthy, difference.

Had a serious mishap with my fav PC cleanser and been looking for a good replacement ever since. I've used up the whole bottle and gone through quite a rollercoaster. The first few weeks I liked it, then somehow I stopped liking it, and now adore it after testing out several other cleansers and finding a good rythm. I now use this cleanser during my morningshower. I massage my face/neck thoroughly and rinse off with a lot of water. At evenings I prefer something very soft that rinses easily so I combine this with Roc's energising cleansing mousse (which is too soft for my oily skin when used during mornings). This combination gives me exactly what their names promise: a gentle, purifying cleanser in the morning and a soft skin-energising cleanser in the evenings. Will add this to my fav list! (Price paid: 11 EUR or 14 USD).
Pro's: purifying enough for combination skin -- not too harsh on dry bits -- simple but good packaging -- price/quality very good
Cons: lots of water to rinse -- bit too much for morning and night use.

Bought this for the first time when I experience totally dry & dehydrated skin. Feel a whole lot better! As per the product details, it doesn't make my skin feels tight after using this product! Which is a bonus point for me. And oh love how foamy & nice smell the product is! Also it helps to remove my makeup. :)

I have tried every cleanser out there.I used to swear by Clinique liquid facial soap for dry combo skin but this works even better, and my skin doesn't feel tight at all after cleansing with this. This is the only face wash that I don't have to use a separate eye makeup remover for (unless I have heavy eye makeup on) and I feel like it does everything a superior cleanser should do, while maintaining the moisture barrier of the skin. I love it!

I bought this cleanser together with the Gentle Foaming Cleanser by Clarins. Started with Clarins and didn't like it at all- both while washing the face and the feeling after. Maybe too much fragrance, maybe too gentle- my face felt a bit sticky and irritated. Tried the Vichy one and now I am on my third tube! Excellent face wash! P.S. My Mum used up the Clarins cleanser and absolutely loved it. So, I guess, it was just wrong for my skin type.

This product was recommended to me in a moment of desperation when I put my faith entirely in the hands of the recommendation of a Shoppers Drug Mart employee. I must have spent 15 minutes explaining the adverse reactions I get from various popular cleansers, and was very specific about the challenges I have with acne on my chin and dry skin in some areas. This cleanser feels extremely rich on the skin while washing, without over-drying my face, and has not yet broke me out. I've been using it for two weeks now - I think this line may be a keeper.

I have recently purchased this so I will update my review if I get an adverse reaction to it.
I am really impressed with this cleanser. I use a clarisonic and I have pretty good normal skin but I find that it doesn't cooperate all that well with everything (i.e. too drying, or causes breakouts) Previously I was using Olay Foaming Face wash w the pump. I still love that face wash and if I am unable to find this Vichy product at a discounted price again I might return to it (though i'm not sure).
So when i ran out of the Olay I picked up this Vichy and tried it out w the clarisonic. I immediately noticed that despite feeling less greasy on my skin than the Olay it wasn't as drying and when I was done with the clarisonic I felt there was little to no residue on my face at all. My face really felt clean but not stripped!
It is winter so after I dried my face I followed it up with a spritz of Vichy Spa water ( probably an unnecessary step but I like it) and applied Kiehl's Ultra Facial moisturizer. My face really glowed the entire day in a way that it never quite did with the Olay.
I give this a 4 and not 5 only because I bought this at a 50% discount and I haven't used it long enough to definitely say i'd repurchase at full price if I had to.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Vichy has always produced skin care that are spot-on and this is no exception.
This is a cream cleanser with the same fragrance found across the Purete range. Lathers well when in contact with water. However unlike most cream cleansers, this one did not dry my skin or leave a taut feeling.
I would probably say that this is the cleanser for you if you don't have oily skin. I believe that people with oily skin would find this formula a lil too rich for their liking.
It is not too expensive, and I believe that one full size bottle (125ml) would last me for some time (about 9 months maybe).

I have been growing gardens for years. I decided this year to start plants indoors this year. I feel that I have been successful with some but others not at all. My plants are doing fabulous up until about 2 inches or more in height. They the bend at the top and die. It is not dying at the soil level. They are dying at the top. what could this be. I had beautiful 5" zuccini and yellow squash plants. I transplanted them into bigger pots, now they are dying.
Hi, Well without seeing your plants I can't be sure of what's going on with so little information to go on. How much light are they getting and how close are your lights? What kind of soil are they growing in? Did you use a sterile seed starting mix or standard potting soil? How much water are they getting? Does the soil remain wet or does it drain well? Give us more to go on and we can be more helpful. thanks

The Art Hunters Turns Springfield Art Museum Into Crime Scene
The Springfield Art Museum has been plagued with some serious security problems this summer. Last week, George Caleb Bingham's Portrait of Fanny Smith Crenshaw went missing, transforming the painting's location into a crime scene. This week, it's Roger Shimomura's Kansas Samurai. If cracking the case meant tracking down art thieves unloading their inventory on the black market, the authorities would be well equipped to handle the case. However, the museum suspects these disappearances are an inside job: paintings are coming to life and escaping their frames, breaking out from the inside. So they called in the experts: the Art Hunters.
Shane Beckworth and Brock Hansen are a pair of hard-as-nails art retrieval specialists and co-founders of The Art Hunters, an organization that specializes in art that comes to life. Every week, the duo tackle a new case featured on their online reality show, and enlist the aid of the show's Art Hunter Reservist fans to track down the missing artwork and return it to the museum. During the show's premiere episode, Reservists followed a series of clues scattered throughout the Springfield Art Museum that led them to the Maple Park Cemetery. At the cemetery, they discovered the real Fanny Smith Crenshaw's tombstone, providing Beckworth and Hansen all the information they needed to convince Bingham's portrait to return to her frame.
Art Hunters Online is an alternate reality game created by the Springfield Art Museum in Springfield, Missouri and red40 Entertainment. The project is set to run through July 17th, with six weeks of escaped art to keep the local community occupied over the summer. Weekly videos introduce the weekly case, informing Reservists where to go to find the missing artwork's crime scene and its corresponding puzzle trail. By focusing on artwork that has deep significance to the city, the hunt can extend beyond the museum to locations across the city. Solving the puzzles along the way provides a special code that can be entered into the Art Hunters Online website to unlock the second half of the weekly video, depicting how Beckworth and Hansen recapture the escaped art.
The Future is Fiction: Playful Future-Thinking About Climate Change with FutureCoast
Sometime in the near future(s), something will go awry with the voicemail system sending messages spiraling back through time, a phenomenon that is being referred to as "chronofall." These messages take the form of small, elegant crystalline structures referred to as "chronofacts" that can be decoded to reveal a taste of life in the future. But these chronofacts aren't just coming from "the" future: chronofacts carry voicemails from the cloud of all possible futures: happy futures, bleak futures, unimaginable futures. A new project called FutureCoast and its "Coaster" enthusiasts seek to collect as many chronofacts as possible, with the goal of cataloging and organizing them into coherent glimpses of the possible futures awaiting us. And when the next big chronofall happens in February, they're going to need your help.
FutureCoast, set to launch on February 5th, 2014, is the latest project by veteran game designer Ken Eklund. Like its predecessors World Without Oil and Ed Zed Omega, FutureCoast aims to open the doors wide to a new kind of conversation about the world we live in. This time, the subject is one of the most polarizing topics, the kind of thing you don't usually want to bring up in mixed political company: climate change and one of its key indicators, rising sea levels.
Climate change, its effect on polar ice, and rising sea levels are topics that spawn impassioned opinions and difficult discussions from many different scientific and political angles. The heart of the FutureCoast design seeks to create a playful, inclusive common ground where information and idea sharing happens, where everyone's thoughts about the future have a place, and where a meaningful dialog and a common ground can be created to replace the animosity that these topics can evoke.
The project is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation to Columbia University's Polar Partnership. Eklund dates the idea of FutureCoast back to a conversation with Dr. Stephanie Pfirman, Professor of Environmental Science at Columbia, in 2009. Dr. Pfirman, interested in the idea of World Without Oil, wondered what a climate change game look like, and Eklund began working on prospective ideas for a WWO-like game that would encourage conversation about climate change and rising sea levels. FutureCoast was accepted into the NSF grant, and work on the project began in earnest in 2011.
FutureCoast's structure is almost "retro" in its conception, elegant in its simplicity yet with the potential for powerful collaborative storytelling to take place. The premise of the overarching story hinges on voicemails that filter to our present from the near or distant future(s) that can be decoded, collected, and shared. FutureCoast invites its audience to pluck their personal vision from among all the possible futures and share it in a voicemail. The audience will also be able to create playlists – mix tapes, Eklund playfully calls them, and officially named "Timestreams" – by choosing amongst the voicemails and piecing them together into a kind of narrative of the future. Through FutureCoast, players have the ability to both create the future and to curate it in meaningful ways.
Take a Walk on the Wild Side with Six to Start's "The Walk"
When Six to Start created Zombies, Run!, players were given the chance to plug in a pair of headphones and lose themselves in a rich narrative, where you're asked to run to survive. And while Zombies, Run! doesn't require its players to run, the story and many of its game mechanics are built around promoting running. After receiving feedback from fans of the game who aren't avid runners, Six to Start and Naomi Alderman partnered with the UK Department of Health and National Health Service to release The Walk for iOS and Android devices earlier today.
Like Zombies, Run!, the primary feature of The Walk is its narrative, designed to provide audio accompaniment to your walking routine. Mere minutes before an apparent terrorist attack on a train station in Inverness, the player is given a package and told that it is of vital importance the package make it to Edinburgh. The attack is initiated by a group called The Burn and contains an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) which takes out all electronics, including all transportation and communication. After escaping from the train station, the package is opened and revealed to be a communication device capable of functioning after the pulse. The person on the other end becomes your guide through the chaos as you make your way on foot to deliver the package to Edinburgh.
Bringing Cronenberg's Films to Life with Body Mind Change
Game enthusiasts are all about the games they play being "realistic," with higher resolution graphics and smarter AIs. One of the more alluring features of alternate reality games is their ability to blur the lines between reality and game to the point where you question where one ended and the other began, exemplified through the "TINAG" (This Is Not A Game) philosophy. Of course, we all knew it was just a game, but hid that knowledge away back in the "suspension of disbelief" part of our brains, and let ourselves believe it was all real. But what if we could experience a game that was so real, you honestly didn't know what was game and what was real? David Cronenberg would like to offer you an opportunity to do just that, via a personal on-demand biotech recommendation engine ("POD") designed to enhance your everyday experience.
If this sounds familiar, it's because it draws on the plot of past Cronenberg films like eXistenZ, where players of a game would use gamepods, flesh-like instruments that allowed them to "jack into" and interact with the game on a real-time. Now, Cronenberg has joined forces with Body/Mind/Change Labs to create PODs similar to the ones in the movie, and you are encouraged to sign up for your own.
In Lance Weiler's Culture Hacker column in Filmmaker Magazine, he states Cronenberg has "quietly licensed the fictional technology and science found within his films Shivers, The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome and eXistenZ for a mind-bending eight-figure sum." Reporting from the BMC Labs building in Venice, CA, he describes the lab as looking like "something out of a sci-fi film" and describes the company's previous biotech achievements and their goal "to enhance humankind by harnessing biotechnology to make us smarter, faster and more efficient." Cronenberg himself released a trailer describing the POD and his collaboration with Body/Mind/Change Labs.
Dig a little deeper and the truth becomes evident – Weiler's article is the opening salvo for a digital extention of the Toronto International Film Festival's (TIFF) David Cronenberg: Evolution exhibit set to debut in November 2013 and run through January 2014, and includes "artifacts, props, documentation and audio-visual interviews, as well as reconstructed set-pieces from Cronenberg's films". The Body/Mind/Change experience is co-produced by CFC Media Lab and directed by Lance Weiler (Head Trauma, Pandemic, Reboot Stories), and "features plot lines and game mechanics involving biotechnology start-ups, body enhancements, and emotional learning systems."
According to the project's press release, the experience is scheduled to launch on October 25th, but there is plenty to do and see while you're waiting. Visitors to the BMC Labs website are encouraged to sign up for their own POD. After signing up, registrants are presented with a confirmation page hard-coded with a message congratulating them for being "8,743 of 137,234 in line for a POD implant." The website's POD Challene page, which is currently "OFFLINE" displaying a field of static, hints at things to come later this month.
Check out the discussion of Body Mind Change on the Unfiction forums to see how the project evolves, and schedule your trip out to Toronto to see the installation for yourself to get the full experience.
What is the Blackhollow Project?
In 1943, the Office of Strategic Services deployed an agent to the European theatre of World War II on an assignment codenamed the "Archimedes Mission." His task: infiltrate the Soviet Union, and extract a man targeted by the Germans to a safe location. It's been 70 years since our unnamed American operative's mission. After the war, he returned to England and settled in as the lighthouse keeper at Blackhollow Point, faithfully looking after the local landmark long after lighthouse operations were modernized, rendering his services moot. What drove this unnamed American spy to move to England and take up residence in a lighthouse for most of his life? And what does it mean now that he's gone missing?
Yesterday, I received a battered metal box bearing an OSS spearhead insignia in the mail that may shed some light into the curious tale of this World War II veteran. According to a weathered correspondence from the OSS, the goal of the Archimedes Mission was to smuggle a Soviet codenamed "The Mathematician" to safety, taking the RMS Galatia from Southampton to New York. A USB drive taped to the lid of the box contained an audio recording instructing the operative to use a portable audio recorder to provide updates on the mission's progress. The first stage of the mission was apparently a success, as the metal box was adorned with a luggage tag on the box from the Hart & Cornwell Steamship Company: however, the fields for personal information on the inside were left blank. No further details are provided about the mission, although a scrap of paper slipped in between the framed picture of a ship and the frame's backing raises the question, "What is the Blackhollow Project?"
The exact nature of the Blackhollow Project is unclear, but it's likely associated with the Blackhollow Point lighthouse. A postcard taped to the lid of the box featured the historic site. On the back of the postcard, an impassioned letter, "The Spy" declared his intention to keep his promise and wait for his love. If a news clipping about the Blackhollow Point lighthouse keeper is to be believed he kept that promise, waiting at Blackhollow Point for decades.
While the story of a lovesick soldier pining for a lost love is a compelling one, the truth might not be quite so simple. According to the Blackhollow Project website, the lighthouse keeper has gone missing. And while the former OSS operative was unquestionably pining after a lost love, he was also standing watch over a device constructed in parallel with the atomic bomb to ensure victory for the Allied Forces. With quantum fluctuations striking 16 different locations across North America and Europe, piecing together the details of Project Archimedes has become essential. The first quantum anomaly is expected on July 27th, just in time for ARGFest.

"The Optimist" ARG Draws Focus to Disney History
In 1923, Walt Disney and his brother Roy founded a company that would eventually become The Walt Disney Company. Out of respect for that seminal moment in the company's history, Disney's official fan club adopted D23 as its name. With the company's 90th anniversary fast approaching, Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development has partnered with Walt Disney Studios to produce The Optimist, a six-week long alternate reality game culminating in an event at the D23 Expo.
The Optimist focuses on a young college student named Amelia as she strives to learn more about her recently deceased grandfather, Carlos Moreau, for a documentary film she's planning on shooting. To Amelia, her grandfather Carlos was an inveterate storyteller whose life remains a mystery. Her efforts to learn more about Carlos' life and legacy through his personal effects are documented on her blog StoryOrbit.com. A series of documents are beginning to paint a picture of Carlos Moreau's life: after selling a short story called Orbit's Story to Disney, Carlos fostered a close relationship with the company that saw him collaborating with Disney's Special Projects team on the 1964 World's Fair. While the focus of the game so far lies squarely in uncovering Carlos' past, Amelia provides a personable front for the investigation as she balances research into the annals of Disney with her college studies.
According to Disney Parks, over the next six weeks players will piece together "an imagined story of Walt Disney, the Imagineers and other visionary thinkers and their potential involvement in a secret project that sought to build a better future." Through this fictional lens, players are given the chance to share their familiarity with Disney's often unbelievable history. For instance, when The Optimist introduced players to the Lott Family Construction company as a fictional collaborator on Disney's exhibit at the 1964 World's Fair, players were quick to point out that M.T. Lott Real Estate Investments was the name of a shell company set up to purchase land for Walt Disney World. Similarly, a phone number written on the back of a napkin led to players discussing one of Walt Disney's favorite restaurants.
Because this blending of real world people and places might make it difficult to identify the line between fiction and reality in the narrative, all confirmed in-game sites and social media profiles include a disclaimer letting players know when they are interacting with fictional pages in the game's universe. This way, real establishments can coexist with fictional constructs without creating unnecessary confusion. Trowbridge mentions that the game will extend beyond the web, with interactions ranging from "social media and mobile devices to visiting unique physical sites from the story in and around Los Angeles," making the distinction all the more important. Upon registering, players are given the option to provide their physical or email addresses for potential mailings, opening up additional avenues for gameplay.
The Optimist has maintained a steady update schedule with new content every day: however, the game is still in its early stages, so there's more than enough time to dive in before the game's finale in August. To get caught up, read StoryOrbit's in-game recaps and Inside the Magic's collaborative Google Doc summarizing theories and events so far.

Ventricular performance was evaluated sequentially in 31 patients with uncomplicated acute transmural myocardial infarction (13 anterior and 18 inferior). Left ventricular ejection fraction, ejection rate, regional wall motion, and right ventricular ejection fraction were ascertained using first-pass radionuclide angiocardiography on four occasions during hospitalization. Inferior infarction resulted in a greater reduction in right ventricular ejection fraction than anterior infarction (mean ± SEM; 48 ± 2 versus 56 ± 2%, P < 0.01). In contrast, in anterior infarction there was greater depression of left ventricular ejection fraction than in inferior infarction (34 ± 3 versus 50 ± 3%, P < 0.01). From initial to discharge studies, there was no significant change in global performance or regional wall motion in either group. These data show that the location of transmural infarction has a profound effect upon the magnitude of right and left ventricular dysfunction. In addition, ventricular systolic performance remains relatively stable during the hospital phase of uncomplicated transmural myocardial infarction.

I had to buy a Cutter Bones SS/Fixie at an excellent price. I didn't have a green bike and I always wanted to check out the Cutter. It is a decent bike and the 60cm fit perfectly. I rode it to work a week ago and found the gearing to high for me. I sold on Craigslist to a local who was very happy to get his first ss/fixie. Since I have a converted Gran Sport with lower gearing I'm covered.
The second bike is a celeste Bianchi built from a frameset Bikedued sold me. I just built her in basic black

Online Code of Conduct Training Course
It's widely agreed that every company needs to have a policy statement on legal and ethical code of conduct. The Organizational Sentencing Guidelines require a company to "have taken steps to communicate effectively its standards and procedures to all employees and other agents, e.g., by requiring participation in Code of Conduct training courses or by disseminating publications that explain in a practical manner what is required." Thus, if a company hopes to qualify for more lenient treatment under the Guidelines in the event of employee or corporate misconduct, having, disseminating and enforcing a Code of Conduct is essential.
Think about it — in most companies, a new employee is given a copy of the Code of Conduct employee manual on his or her first day of work, signs the acknowledgment page, and puts the Code of Conduct guidelines in a bottom desk drawer, never to be opened again. But if legal or ethical issues arise down the road, what standard of conduct will the company be held to? Enacting a formal Code of Conduct training policy helps your company respond and avoid significant ethical issues that may arise in the workplace.

The King Is Dead. Long Live The King!
by Frank S. Foster on Mar 31, 1:00 PM
While lacking perhaps the historical significance of the transition between Charles VI and Charles the VII in 15th century France, the U.S. television audience measurement industry is nonetheless bound by the same fate, I fear -- uninterrupted succession. The demise of the small sample, the 60-year-old foundation upon which television audience ratings were built, has been all but guaranteed by Comcast's and Time Warner's support of CableLabs' Canoe project.

YouTube Insight: How About TelevisionTube Insight?
by Lydia Loizides on Mar 27, 3:15 PM
And the only reason I say that is because I am extremely interested in the viewing paths of television watchers. Why? Because there's probably no real rhyme or reason to how people "discover" content -- except for the dialogue that goes on in their head, which cannot be tracked.

BitTorrent: Broadcast's New Best Buddy?
by Mike Bloxham on Mar 26, 4:15 PM
The answer to the question above is -- in short - probably not. At least not for now. But an initiative by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation points to a future scenario where a little innovation and a willingness to think outside the box may shake things up a little.

A Riddle Wrapped in a Mystery Inside an Enigma Swaddled in Coaxial Cables
by Mitch Oscar on Mar 25, 12:00 PM
Recently, there has been a spate of articles written about the mysteriously shrouded Project Canoe, a subterranean, though visible, cable systems operators' joint venture that surfaces periodically, in trade periodicals -- the first sighting, to my knowledge, in
The Wall Street Journal
at the close of September 2007 -- only to surreptitiously submerge again until the next press sighting, appearing sporadically ever since. Perhaps Winston Churchill said it best (October 1939): "I cannot forecast to you the action of [the cable Industry]. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma but perhaps there is a key. That ...

More On The Set-Top-Box Data Mystery
by Frank S. Foster on Mar 24, 1:45 PM
In an unauthorized and completely biased plug for this blog, I must admit that I have been amazed at the sheer number of emails and calls I have received over the last few weeks. While the subject matter has been as diverse as the location of the people sending the messages -- Dushanbe, Tajikistan; Christchurch, New Zealand; Victoria, Australia; Ahmadabad, India; Santiago, Chile -- the most common question from those outside the United States has mirrored that from those in this country, "Can you please explain set-top-box data to me?"

Television: The Fastest-Growing Advertising Medium
by John Billett on Mar 21, 3:00 PM
If you are one who believes the future of commercial communications is just about digital, interactive new media, your thinking is already out of date. It's time to go back to basics and reexamine the evidence for conventional television.

In Case You Didn't Get The Memo...
by Lydia Loizides on Mar 20, 12:45 PM
So, I have spent the last couple of weeks talking with people on the Left Coast, and I have discovered something very interesting: evidently New York doesn't matter to the TV and film world. Okay, maybe not quite that it doesn't matter -- but it is small beans. The perception is that no one of prominence or importance is in New York, that somehow, there just isn't enough business here. So, in the spirit of refreshing everyone's memory, I present my official Why New York Isn't Some Barren Entertainment Wasteland....

Planes, Trains, Automobiles -- And Everywhere Else
by Mike Bloxham on Mar 19, 12:45 PM
The out-of-home video market has heated up significantly over the last couple of years, and continues to accelerate. Scarcely a week goes by without a slew of announcements regarding new initiatives in the space. Indeed, it's becoming hard to think of places where one has no chance of encountering some sort of video-based media experience.

Vegetable Soup Analogy Debunked: Should Television's Small Sample Be Sacked?
by Frank S. Foster on Mar 17, 1:15 PM
I had a very interesting conversation the other day with an industry veteran regarding the state of the television audience measurement industry. The conversation began innocently with concerns about set-top-box data, each of which I answered simply and directly. After 30 minutes, he had nothing more to say. When I suggested counting one in five anonymous households and mathematically inferring demographic attributes would be a more acceptable solution than projecting from a small panel, he became quite agitated. "The panel is the only acceptable solution," he cried. "No other approach allows us to taste the soup!"

Gloomy, dejected, defeated? Not this Republican. It's Thanksgiving, and I have too much to be grateful for.
Yes, the Democrats took Congress, as well as electing a governor and gaining legislative seats in my state. Yes, the judicial term limits proposal I was chairing lost, and few ballot issues went as I hoped. And no, the Colorado GOP currently doesn't have the "got'em where we want'em" defiance of John Elway's old Broncos.
So why am I not down? Because before I am a Republican I'm a conservative, and I am an American before that. At bedrock, prior to anything, I am on a lifetime enlistment as a servant of my Maker and a soldier of the Cross, poor though my example may be.
Through such eyes, the blue wave and red rout of Nov. 7 have no more finality than a chess king tipped over at game's end. We'll vow to do better next time, of course – but with light hearts in the joy of a world too bright for any election to darken.
The common-sense recognition that politics isn't everything happens to be a distinctively American trait, just as Thanksgiving is a distinctively American holiday. The day's occurrence so soon after votes are counted is helpful in reminding us what really matters. While congratulations are due Colorado Gov.-elect Bill Ritter and all the other winners, along with condolences to Denver congressional candidate Rick O'Donnell and others who lost, this week is about giving thanks for the bigger picture.
We give thanks for constitutional government and democratic capitalism, the framework of liberty and law that has made these United States the freest, most prosperous, most open, most generous, most decent, and most powerful nation the world has ever seen. We hear the voice of conscience bidding Americans always use that power for good.
We give thanks for a stable, competitive, mutually respectful two-party system that forces consensus toward the center and fairly registers the people's choice, so the trustees of power can be turned out when they lose touch or break faith – and the reins of authority can then be peacefully transferred. Much of the world lacks that.
We give thanks for the blessings of material abundance, opportunity, tolerance, innovation, cultural creativity, and the most optimistic educational system on earth, adding up to a magic escalator for group after group from marginal status to full participation in American life – minorities, women, immigrants, the disabled, who next? The striving of millions to come here isn't just a policy problem, it's an accolade to us.

Study Shows How Older-Volunteer Force in U.S. Could Double
Kleyman, Paul, Aging Today
Despite stressful times-antiterrorism anxieties, the slumping economy and shaken faith in institutions from the Catholic Church to bankrupt corporations-older Americans are volunteering their time and energy to community programs in rising numbers. Also, many more probably would pitch in if programs had the tools they need to recruit and involve older volunteers. Small inducements could double the older-volunteer force in the United States. These are some of the main conclusions drawn from the latest round of interviews conducted for "The New Faces of Retirement: An Ongoing Survey of American Attitudes on Aging" by respected polltaker Peter D. Hart, president of Hart Research Associates, Washington, D.C.
"These are not people who are defeated, but who are determined to make a difference," stated Hart, who presented the survey results in October 2002 at the 4th annual Coming of Age conference held by the study's sponsor, Civic Ventures, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization. For a growing number of people age 50 or older, Hart said, "civic engagement is not just about filling time, but it's also about filling a need, and they need to be involved. Among volunteers we surveyed, 76% tell us this is very or fairly important."
Hart said that the results of the telephone survey, which included 600 randomly selected people ages 50 to 75 in the United States-half of them volunteers and half not-were compared to findings from a similar poll by the group in the economic boom year of 1999. Overall, 57% of respondents said they had volunteered in the past three years, including 42% of those not currently volunteering. The percentage of respondents who agreed that volunteering is very or fairly important jumped from 50% in 1999 to 56% in 2002.
A related federal study, "Volunteering in the United States," which was released in December by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), found that in a sample of 60,000 households, "those 35 to 54 were the most likely to volunteer, with one in three having donated their time." BLS calculated that 59 million Americans age 16 or older, or 27.6% of the population, volunteered about one hour per week during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2002. This study determined that the volunteer rate for the oldest U.S. citizens, those age 65 or more, was among the lowest at 22.7%. However, the BLS data also showed that, of any age group, elders who did volunteer devoted the most time to community activities-almost double the national median. Compared with the U.S. median commitment of 52 volunteer hours annually, those 65 and over contributed 96 hours.
Civic Ventures president and CEO Marc Freedman told Aging Today that the Hart survey and the BLS report "reveal two sides of the same coin." On one side, he said, the studies show that volunteering has grown steadily since the 1960s, and older people "continue to express a deeply felt yearning to do much more." On the other side is "a paucity of the kind of volunteer opportunities capable of capturing the imagination of a new generation of older Americans. Freedman characterized older Americans as "a group that might be described as all dressed up with too few places to goand the Department of Labor numbers reflect this gap."
Hart's survey for Civic Ventures included a series of questions to discern what is important to older people in their lives- "not about volunteering, just about their lives," Hart emphasized. The findings showed that "they want to be productive, intellectually stimulated, to have something significant to do, and to stay physically active. It's not the idea of shuffle board, it is not the idea of sitting back in a rocker-these people want to he engaged." Furthermore, he said, the answers of those who volunteer revealed that "they believe volunteering will produce a better, happier, fuller life."
Also, 59% of all respondents in 2002 said they believe retirement is a "time to begin a new chapter"; only 24% agreed that it is "a time to take it easy. …

Town Square
Anyone see a car and truck racing after each other ...
Original post made by Curious, University South, on Mar 21, 2013
First a guy in a car went flying down the street going at least 50-60 MPH. Then less than a minute later, a girl in a very oversized truck came by at about the same speed.
Right around Channing and Copwer. Heading towards Middlefield.
Not more than 10 minutes later - we heard all sorts of sirens.
Wondered if they might be connected?
I would guess they were around Embarcadero or somewhere close?
Just curious. We get lost of fast cars driving down Channing - but this seemed abnormal.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Eat proper meals, organised around vegetables
I find it is so much easier to eat healthily throughout the day, if I sit down for a proper meal, that is based around a good serve of vegetables.

Cinema 16
User Stats

User Bio
IIn an era when film has been reduced to the tiny screens of our laptops and ipods, oftentimes viewed alone, Cinema 16 resurrects communal viewing experience. Cinema 16 revives the silent film era in which live music would accompany black and white 16mm projections. Taking from the tradition of vaudeville, the performance is showcased at a variety of spaces. Each monthly screening modernizes the tradition of silent film by pairing contemporary musicians with vintage shorts.
Named after the New York-based avant-garde film society in 1947 and inspired by Maya Deren's Greenwich Village exhibition of experimental films, Cinema 16 pairs edgy contemporary musical artists with silent films, curated by Molly Surno. The performances meld the worlds of art, film and music.
Postmodern and edgy these events give films a new identity by scoring live contemporary music. Surno has commissioned a wide range of musicians to interpret her short film programs. Cinema 16 has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Filmmaker Magazine, NYLON, Time Out New York, Interview Magazine, among countless other publications.
