I write code.
If you already programmed in COM, feel free to skip the article. Yep. Nothing interesting for you here.
If you're a coder that has some experience with previous game engines but you're new to Unity, then read on.
So. Two programs and a technology for software development. And a picture:
That's a COM object. Our target is "Outer Object". It imlements several interfaces, the circles labeled A, B ...
In terms of inheritance, you could do that by deriving the class describing. Now of course, there are some problems when all them interface implement a function with the same signature, say void Update(): which Update() should be called in your case? The one from A? Or B? Or C? I personally don't like C, as a vitamin at least it is sour.
This is where COM ... comes in place. In COM, if you want to implement an interface on an object, you'll get a new instance of a class. That means that somehow, in your objects, you'll have at least three class instances, one that implements the functionality of A, one for B, well, you get the point.
Why the frowned face? Oh, stupid me, I forgot something: from now on, your object is no longer an instance of one class. No. That's gone. Think of it as a collection of classes, each working together to provide functionality for one object.
Now I can hear you saying: "But what if I need to use functionality from Interface A in the implementation of Interface B? How can I reach one functionality from the other?"
In all technologies that implement an object modeling mechanism (yep, that's the OM from COM), there will always be a mechanism to go from one interface to the other. In COM, it is called "QueryInterface". In Unity, you GetComponent.
Now it makes sense. This is why the First Person Controller prefab in Unity looks like this:
You'll see that I underlined two components (get used to the term if you plan to use Unity). If you double click them, you'll end up looking at some C# code. Each of the scripts describe a class, each having a Start() and Update() function. Several components, working to define one object.
And here's another thing about COM: you can re-use components:
The Mouse Look script is the shared component here.
That's it. Don't say I didn't warn you, if you know COM this was not a surprise.

"A Gift to Society - A New Graduate"
A recent study, by Henry Levin of the
In "The Costs and Benefits of an Excellent Education for All of America's Children," Henry Levin, Clive Belfield, Peter Muennig, and Cecilia Rouse find that an overall investment of $82,000 in educational programs and additional schooling years per potential dropout creates $209,100 in tax revenues and decreased public spending over the lifetime of that student, yielding a net gain of $127,100 (all estimates are in current dollars). "In all fairness we want these students to complete high school so they have more opportunities, but the surprise is that there is a gift to society--a new graduate," said Dr. Levin.

You deserve it for that!
ITYM Playmobil
And the link has photo!
ITYM "egg-sagerate"
(Well, it gives them to Airbus)
He's a very naughty boy!
I'm nothing to do with Eurostar or any of the connected companies.
Merely I am someone who has had an interest in railways from a young age. I also get annoyed with the culture of blame.
Sh*t happens. Life goes on. Demanding the cheif exec stand down is just way OTT. He didn't design the trains, and deliberately make sure they'd fail after 15 (or however many) years like this. Do you think he personally told everyone not to tell the passengers what was going on?
This was, by the looks of it, a very unfortunate set of circumstances that were never thought of. What the CE now has to do is to be seen to be working with the right people to establish what went wrong, where there is room for improvement, and get things back on track (pun intended!)
As has been pointed out elsewhere, I'd like to see you do better... All to easy to sit behind your computer and criticise.
*wonders if our ranting reporter was a passenger on one of those trains and wanted somewhere to let off some steam* (OK, enough with the train puns!)
Most trains I've ever been on have some emergency lighting, but it will be battery operated. Depending on what's tripped with the water ingestion, that may have caused the emergency lighting to fail, or the report may have been chinese whispered and really it was a case of the lighting failed after the batteries discharged. Anyone know how long the battery is meant to last for? (Of course, the same thing would affect the aircon as well.)
When I was on a Eurostar back in February I'm 99.999% certain the stickers on the trains were illuminous. The problem, I suspect, is that over time the luminance fades - they need to keep seeing light to "recharge".
I'm pretty certain that brakes are dsigned to failsafe to an "on" position... Fairly basic thing one would hope!
Sorry, I think that is a slightly simplistic and, possibly, unfair view of what happened...
First, how do we know that trains 2 and 3 (and 4 and 5, possibly) weren't already in the tunnel when the first one broke down? (Particularly given 9053 and 9055 left 30 mins apart, a journey through the tunnel takes approx 30 mins, I don't know the stopping patterns of the 2 trains, nor if either were late, held up on the route, etc so it is perfectly feasible for one to have entered just before the first one broke down.) The tunnel, as you state, could possibly take 10 times this number of trains, and until 1 breaks down, there is no reason to stop trains entering.
You complain the tunnel only had 2 rescue locos available, and sound surprised. The East Coast Main Line, I understand, is approx 500 miles in length from London to Edinburgh and has 4 rescue locos available. The tunnel is just 31 miles long, and has 2. There's only 2 tracks under the channel, so how does having more trains help? Maybe you could argue 4 is more suitable (2 working from each end of the tunnel, 1 per line). Also, the more rescue locos you have sat idle the more you pay on maintenance and the more stand-by drivers you have to pay; a cost which is passed onto the customer. There is a case here of having to balance risk with cost, and given how rarely more than 1 rescue train, let alone 2, has been needed I think the balance is about right.
"We know that there is a cab signalling system in the tunnel which is used to give information directly to train drivers on a display." Indeed... But if you read up on the system on your wonderful source, Wikipedia, I think you will find it only displays speed instructions. Sadly, the cab signalling system isn't a free-form text screen (can you imagine what the drivers and signallers may spend all day doing!) on which drivers can be informed of delays, etc. So your comment about "the communications route was there for the train staff to be kept informed about what was going" is not accurate in this form. I would hope that there is in-cab radio for this sort of thing, but if the electrics have been shorted out there is a chance this would not be working (I would hope there is a battery backup, but even that will have limited capacity and may be prone to the same shorting).
There is probably a good reason why doors must remain closed in the tunnel (or anywhere else for that matter). What happens when someone opens the door and gets off? They could get left if the train suddenly starts to move, fall off the walkway under the train, etc. This is a safety issue and I think to criticise it is just plain wrong.
On the matter of emergency food and drink... Well do you really expect them to have an extra supply of food and drink just in case something goes wrong? For a quarter-mile long Eurostar just think how much space this would take up. And what do you do with that food? Keep it there until it goes off, throw it away and replace it? Just think of the waste and the cost!
Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying the companies invovled are totally free of blame. Procedures do need to be reviewed in light of what went on. Communications in particular need to be looked at.
Why do we need a public inquiry? Things go wrong all the time. I would hope that the relevant safety boards do their investigations and that recommendations are made and implemented. But do we call for a public inquiry every time something like this goes wrong? There have been worse incidents than this where people have lost lives, yet the standard investigations are carried out, recommendations made and implemented and life goes on.
This is, sadly, not a perfect world. Things will always go wrong. All we can do is learn from our mistakes to try and make sure they don't go wrong again (at least not in the same way!)
Have I jumped back a month in time? :-/
And is it really 20 years? That would have made me... Still aged in single figures. I am worried now at how time has passed me by so quickly :(
Penguin; because they're evil!
We need to know...
The list includes plain "wafer", but the pink wafer is in a class of its own! Does anyone actually admit to liking these abominations of the biscuit world? You only have to see what they do to other biscuits - does any other biscuit have such a contamination ability; so surely it should be scored to warn us of the true danger they pose!
And interestingly, Wikipedia doesn't have a Pink wafer article, and my local google thinks I mean "pink water" instead of "pink wafer". The fact that these 2 esteemed institutions refuse to acknowledge the existance of the pink wafer speaks volumes!

New homes and those put up for sale in Colorado must now be equipped with carbon-monoxide detectors.
That's the result of a new law that took effect Wednesday.
After several high-profile CO-related deaths this year, lawmakers passed a bill mandating the detectors despite some concerns they don't uniformly detect dangerous levels of the invisible, deadly gas.
The new law also requires that new apartment buildings have CO detectors and that landlords replace or repair existing alarms in apartments rented to new tenants.

Property reassessments out of cycle
Wonk reader Wick asks, "If I buy a Baltimore City home that is assessed at 100k for a purchase price of 200k, and the home was just assessed (11/08, at 100k) so is not due for re-assessment for 2 more years, will they reassess as soon as I buy the home? Or, will the 100k assessment hold until next 3-year assessment is due, and by then I'll be protected and can apply for homestead credit?"
I put the question to the state Department of Assessments and Taxation. Henry Sikorski, state supervisor of assessments, said Wick doesn't need to worry -- unless there's recent new construction on the home that the state hasn't assessed.
The state will do assessments out of cycle for major work on a home, typically over $100,000 in value. It will also reassess if a vacant lot is built upon or if the property use changes, say from commercial to condo, Sikorski said.
Paying $200,000 for a home the state assessed at $100,000 doesn't in itself prompt the state to come swooping in. "We don't go in and reassess on sales," he said.
Hope that helps, Wick (and anyone else out there pondering the same thing). Oh, and don't forget to apply for that homestead credit. New buyers have a six-month window.

Removing Worm parasites
Hi all, my husband has a 29-gallon saltwater bait tank. He currently has two small fish in it - a juvenile bullhead sculpin and a goby. I've no idea what the parameters are on it right now, but it is cycled. The goby has worm parasites attaching under its pectoral fins, and he wants to know how to remove them. Google said to add salt, but since it's a saltwater tank, he didn't know how to do that or if it would be effective. Let me know if you need more info on the tank and I can ask him.
Praziquantel is a medication that can eradicate many worm parasites and is most commonly available as a treatment called Prazi Pro . As far as adding salt with salt water instead you use fresh water. Basically you need water that is similar to your water parameters especially PH and temperature and put the fish in the fresh water for about 5 minutes or less if the fish becomes too stressed.The osmoregulation will be thrown off and the parasite should detach,you can then place the fish back into its aquarium.

Spectacular Bid - 1979 Kentucky Derby Winner
Pedigree: Bold Bidder - Spectacular (Promised Land)
Owner: Hawksworth Farm (Harry and Teresa Meyerhoff )
Trainer: Grover "Bud" Delp
1980 Horse of the Year, 1979 Kentucky Derby Winner, Set
Set or equaled 8 Track and American Records.
The gavel fell at $37,000 - Harry & Teresa Meyerhoff were now the owners of the steel grey yearling in the auction ring. They called their new colt Spectacular Bid, a name which would surely seem prophetic just a short year later.
"The Bid", as he was nicknamed, was "spectacular" from the moment he entered a starting gate. In his debut at 2, he ran just two-fifths of a second off the Pimlico track record for 5 1/2 furlongs. Three weeks later he came back in an allowance at the same distance, this time equaling the track record. Spectacular Bid won 5 more stakes that year on his way to being named Champion 2-yr-old colt, most notably the prestigeous Champagne Stakes and the Laurel Futurity, where he set a new track record of 1:41 3/5 for the 1 1/16 miles.
Carrying a 5-race win streak into his 3-yr-old season, Spectacular Bid immediately resumed his winning ways. He reeled off 5 straight wins and entered the Classics undefeated for the season. He won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes and looked to be racing's third Triple Crown winner in as many years. But Bid ran a puzzling third in the 1 1/2 miles Belmont Stakes, losing to Coastal and Golden Act. After the race, trainer Grover "Buddy" Delp said there was a reason for his colt's loss - that a safety pin had been found in his foot the morning of the Belmont. Speculation swirled that this may not be the truth, but in any event, the colt was lame and given a break from racing.
Six weeks later, Spectacular Bid returned in a 1 1/16 miles allowance race at his home base, Delaware Park, setting his second track record. He followed that up with a win in Belmont Park's Marlboro Cup, then prepared for the Jockey Club Gold Cup and a meeting with his greatest challenger to date, 1978 Triple Crown winner Affirmed. The two were to have met in the Marlboro but Affirmed's connections refused the 133 pound assignment by the New York Racing Association (NYRA). The 4-yr-old Affirmed proved too much for the 3-yr-old, and Bid recorded his second loss for the year. He raced one more time that season, taking the Meadowlands Cup in a new track record time, and was rewarded with his second championship, the Eclipse 3-yr-old colt.
Like Affirmed and Seattle Slew before him, Spectacular Bid grew stronger and better as he got older. His 4-yr-old season would be flawless and it launched him into racing immortality.
Starting the year in the January 5 Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita, Bid was bet down to 3-10 and he rewarded the public's confidence. He ran the 7-furlongs in 1:20, slicing three-fifths of a second off Imbros' 26-yr-old track record. He came out of the race with a filling in his left foreleg, but his training went uninterrupted and he entered the gate two weeks later for the San Fernando Stakes. Flying Paster challenged Bid at the top of the stretch, but Bid pulled away to win by 1 1/4 lengths.
Next on the schedule was the third and final leg of the Strub series, the Feb. 3 Charles H. Strub Stakes. Flying Paster, second to Spectacular Bid in both races, was also entered and his form indicated he may pull off an upset. The Tuesday prior to the Strub, Flying Paster worked a blazing 1:33 2/5 mile - a time two-fifths faster than the track record and within the realm of Dr. Fager's world record of 1:32 1/5.
But the only track record that day would belong to the Champion. Relaunch sprang from the gate, taking a :22 first quarter and ten-length lead. Bid caught him with a quarter-mile to run and pulled away as Relaunch threw in the towel. Flying Paster came on from the back but was of no consequence. Spectacular Bid crossed the finish line 3 1/4 lengths ahead of Flying Paster, stopping the clock in a new Track and American record of 1:57 4/5 for the 1 1/4 miles.
In recognition of Bid's west-coast dominance, officials assigned him an impost of 130 pounds for his next start, the Santa Anita Handicap. Despite the dreary, rainy day, 49,285 fans showed up to cheer on the fast grey.
Laffit Pincay, aboard Beau's Eagle, took right to the lead and tried to slow it down on the front, setting fractions of :24 2/5 for the quarter and :48 3/5 for the half-mile. Down the backstretch, Beau's Eagle had a 4-length lead over Spectacular Bid and the crowd surely wondered if Bid, the only horse not wearing stickers, was handling the sloppy going. But when jockey Bill Shoemaker asked Bid to run, he did, and took command at the mile. Flying Paster would make his run but to no avail, as Bid pulled away by 5 lengths.
Spectacular Bid then moved over to neighboring Hollywood Park to take two victories - the Mervyn LeRoy Handicap while carrying 132 pounds, then the Californian Stakes, carrying 130 pounds and setting yet another track record. Delp announced that his colt would bypass the Hollywood Gold Cup and instead ship to Chicago for the Washington Park Stakes at Arlington Park, citing his concern over the fast times being recorded on the Hollywood Park strip.
The 130-pound highweight, Bid was sent off the 1-20 favorite. He easily dispatched of the field, winning by ten lengths in his fourth track record time of the year. He then went to Monmouth Park for the Amory L. Haskell Handicap, where he met up with Canadian Horse of the Year and Eclipse Handicap Female, Glorious Song. In receipt of 15 pounds to Bid's 132, Glorious Song gave all she had but could only manage 2nd place. Spectacular Bid was now 8 for 8, from west coast to the east.
Delp had a couple of choices where next to race. The premier race at the time was The Marlboro Cup, but Bid was assigned to carry 136 pounds in the race, two more pounds than Seattle Slew had ever carried to victory. Delp let his disappointment for the assignment be known but seemed to be considering the race nonetheless. However, on entry-day the Thursday of the race, Spectacular Bid wasn't entered. Delp lashed out at NYRA to the press, accusing them of ruining the race with their weight assignments of his colt this year and Affirmed the year before.
Bid would sit out the Marlboro Cup while the nice Mack Miller-trained colt, Winter's Tale, won the coveted race. Next on both's schedule was the Woodward. Winter's Tale won the Marlboro in commanding fashion and was working beautifully leading up to the Woodward - again, the press and fans wondered if an upset of the great Spectacular Bid was possible. But the Friday before the race, Miller felt something wrong with his charge and x-rays showed a chip in his leg. Winter's Tale was scratched from the race, leaving only a three-horse field of Spectacular Bid, Temperence Hill, and Dr. Patches. On Saturday morning of the Woodward, NYRA officials met with the trainers and owners of Temperence Hill and Dr. Patches, and the two horses were scratched from the field. Spectacular Bid, in what some deem racing's greatest honor from other trainers, was granted a walkover.
The Jockey Club Gold Cup a month later was to be Spectacular Bid's last race, but curious circumstances kept him in the barn. The day before the Gold Cup, Delp felt heat in Bid's left foreleg, the same leg injured in the Malibu, and ordered x-rays. Saturday morning, he was taken out to gallop and his exercise rider reported back to Delp that the horse seemed fine. Delp returned to his hotel, planning a nap before returning to the races later that day.
In the meanting, track vet Dr. Manuel Gilman was on his customary rounds, giving pre-race exams to all the horses in that day's race. At 9:00am, Gilman arrived at the Delp barn to examine Spectacular Bid but was told he could not, that the horse was knee-deep in ice water and could not be moved. Gilman scheduled to return at 10:00am. Upon arrival, Bid's left foreleg was being x-rayed and his right foreleg was carefully bandaged. Delp's assistant refused to allow the removal of the bandages, thus Gilman couldn't perform his exam. Gilman scheduled to return once more - at 11:00am. This time he was told he could remove the bandages, but that Bid wasn't allowed out of his stall nor was Gilman allowed to flex either of his forelegs. Gilman reported his inability to properly exam the horse to NYRA officials.
At 4:00pm, less than two hours from post-time, there was a circus-like atmosphere of press and others at the Delp barn as NYRA officials and Delp arrived. Delp had the colt brought out and walked in the shedrow, and to observers, Spectacular Bid seemed a shell of his former self. Delp turned from his horse to his audience and announced that Spectacular Bid would not run again.
"The greatest horse to ever look through a bridle," was how Delp frequently described his horse. Coming on the heels of a decade which saw such champions as Secretariat, Seattle Slew, and Affirmed, it was a bold and controversial statement.
In all, Spectacular Bid won 13 Gr. I stakes at 10 different tracks, and
won 10 other stakes. He was assigned 130 or more pounds on 5 occasions
and won all five. He set or equaled eight Track and American records at
seven different tracks, at distances from 5 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/4 miles.
He twice set Track records while carrying 130 pounds. In all, Spectacular
Bid's actions spoke louder than his trainer's words.

Minkpink is one of my favourite brands, vintage inspired they are my go to for dresses and shirts, normally something a bit different with an amazing print.
Throw on some fur (fake) and heels and we are ready to go. I also rekindled my holiday romance with the 'Heidi braid' thanks to the lovely Grace and her hair tutorial post. However mine never turns out as good.
Hows everyone else coming along?

I am nominating my mimi, Kathy Waggner, for the AARP Kentucky Grandparent of the year essay contest. I think she deserves this title for many reason. As you read you may see what I mean.
My mimi is very special to me because my dad passed away when I was one and she is the only person I have left on his side of the family. She is always there to talk to me and comfort me when I am missing him and feeling down because I don't get a chance to know or meet him. That is one reason my mimi is special to me.
My granny, Jane Boggs, should be the AARP Kentucky Grandparent of the Year. I'm nominating her for various reasons.
I think my great granny, Shirley Norris, should win AARP Kentucky Grandparent of the year because she has a nice and generous personality and she is pleasant to be around.
Emma B. Ward Elementary will be hosting the fifth annual Empty Bowls fundraiser and Holiday Station Express on Dec. 13 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Students from Ward, Anderson County Middle School and Robert B. Turner Elementary created the ceramic bowls, which will be available for sale at the dinner.
Students in instructor Lisa Hudson's fifth grade reading and writing class at Emma B. Ward Elementary completed essays for a writing contest. Students had to write an essay for the AARP Kentucky Grandparent of the Year essay contest and explain why their grandparent should be the AARP Kentucky Grandparent of the Year. The overall winner of the contest was Emily Slone. Her essay will move on to the next level of the contest, according to Hudson. The other essays were chosen as runners up.
I am nominating my grandma, Shirley Cherry, for Kentucky AARP grandparent of the year essay contest. She deserves this award for many reasons. Here are only a few of them.

April 28, 2016
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Duke Energy Corp. is facing a shareholder lawsuit alleging directors of America's largest electric company hurt investors by misleading North Carolina regulators about who the CEO would be after taking over Progress Energy.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in a Delaware court by Alabama shareholder Lesley Rupp contends Duke Energy's directors engaged in a bad business practice by appointing and dumping former Progress Energy CEO Bill Johnson within hours after the merger closed.
The lawsuit cites Johnson's successor as CEO, who said board members had discussed the last-minute switch for days even while the North Carolina Utilities Commission was reviewing its final approval. The lawsuit says that antagonized the regulator which sets electricity rates worth billions of dollars in annual revenues.
Duke Energy says the lawsuit lacks merit.

Poll: Who would you start at QB?
Chris Williams
The countdown is on.
By this time next week, Paul Rhoads will have named his starting quarterback for the 2014 season opener against North Dakota State on Aug. 30. Rhoads plans to make a decision at the conclusion of next Saturday's scrimmage.
Either Grant Rohach or Sam Richardson is expected to win the job. At media day on Sunday, Rhoads noted that both men are currently on even ground.
We want your opinion. Don't tell us who you think will win the job. If you were the head coach, which Cyclone would you name as the lead man?

There was a time when Violet was in preschool that I would park the car nine times a day, in between ferrying her back and forth from school to home, activities, and having to move the car for various no parking zones (one of a city's less lovable aspects). Looking for spaces, circling, circling, pulling in, pulling out, going around, stop, start, buckle, unbuckle. I didn't realize how much I hated it until it stopped.
This year Violet started going to a school right across the street. I have worked from home for years, no commute there. A Whole Foods opened up just a few blocks away, we have a library three blocks away, a movie house and a pharmacy four blocks away, a post office five blocks away, parks all over the place, and a nearby retail street with everything from a fabric store to a place that sells bacon gum and Hello Kitty socks. Anything in the world I need, I can get by walking to it or taking the bus that stops half a block from Violet's bedroom window.
Phil takes the bus to work, I walk instead of driving anywhere, and lots of weeks the only time we move the car is for street sweeping. Gas has somehow crept up into threat level orange price range, but we have barely noticed. This weekend when we drove to Phil's mom's house, I asked, "When's the last time we filled up the car?"
"Um…man. I think it's been about three weeks," Phil guesstimated.
"There is three-quarters of a tank in there!" I marveled.
It won't last, this carless idyll. Eventually there's going to be something that makes me have to climb reluctantly in the car every day, some work or school or some other thing. But while it does, I sure am enjoying it. My shoulders feel loose. And when I walk, I smile on my brother, and feel better about people in general. They're fellow passersby on the street, not obstacles preventing me from steering my tons of steel as quickly as I can in the direction I want to go. I don't have a horn to honk or a gas pedal to step on petulantly when I'm walking around, and it makes me a nicer person. Until I get back in the car again, that is.

Tau Cygna V was the fifth planet in the Tau Cygna planetary system. This system was located within the de Laure belt. This planet was a class H planet. It had an atmosphere capable of supporting humanoid life-forms. This planet was annexed from the Federation by the Sheliak Corporate in the 2255 Treaty of Armens.
In 2274, the SS Artemis crash-landed on the planet's surface. One third of the crew died of the hyperonic radiation. The survivors established a new colony. In 2366, the population reached 15,253 people, which, however, had to be evacuated, due to the Sheliak claim on the planet. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")

The deal will create the fourth largest cable provider in the United States.
Wireless plans don't come cheap. That's why Cablevision's sounds so enticing. But is it really the solution families have been dreaming of? CNET's Marguerite Reardon has the answers in Ask Maggie.
The company tries taking on wireless carriers with what it claims is the first all Wi-Fi phone service from a cable provider.
A federal court hands Verizon a legal victory by ordering Cablevision to stop running advertisements calling Verizon a liar over claims that it offers the fastest Wi-Fi network.
The cable company's deal to distribute streaming service Hulu's content puts it on a streak of joining hands with online video ventures, often seen as the enemy of traditional pay TV.
Premium cable channel launches its direct-to-consumer streaming option for $15 a month before Sunday's season premiere of "Game of Thrones," but you need to be an Apple or Cablevision customer to get it.
Apple isn't the only game in town anymore. Cablevision will be the first cable company to offer the premium network online without viewers having to pay for regular TV.
Freewheel service will cost $29.95 per month and work only with Motorola's Moto G smartphone, which Cablevision will sell for $99.95.
The three-month exclusivity deal with Apple has ended, and more announcements like this are sure to follow.
More than 3,000 apps fill the Apple Watch app store on launch day -- and some may not make great sense. Meanwhile, Samsung teases a new watch, and Google may soon reveal a new Glass.

May 4, 2016
Consumer spending, propelled by the wildly popular Cash for Clunkers auto sales program, shot up in August by the largest amount in nearly eight years even though personal incomes continued to lag.
The Commerce Department says that consumer spending rose 1.3 percent in August, even better than the 1.1 percent gain that had been expected. Incomes continued to lag, edging up 0.2 percent in August, the same as the July increase.
The big jump in consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of total economic activity, is a good indication that the economy was returning to positive growth this summer. But economists are worried that any rebound from the recession could falter if income growth does not improve.

Democrats' vice presidential pick stumps in South Florida today
Sen. Joe Biden, the Democrats' vice presidential pick, is making two South Florida appearances today.
Barack Obama's running mate will first appear at 12:30 p.m. at the Century Village clubhouse in Deerfield Beach and then at 6:45 p.m. will visit the Palm Beach County Convention Center.
Bernie Parness, president of the Deerfield Beach Democratic Club, said with many of Century Village's 10,000 seniors being Democrat, the retirement community is among the party's largest groups in Broward County.
"The voter turnout here is excellent," Parness, who will give an introductory speech during the event. "Seniors take their voter responsibility very seriously."
Both rallies are limited to those who picked up free tickets from Obama campaign offices Monday.
About 800 supporters are expected at the Deerfield Beach event, a campaign aide said. Many already were standing outside the clubhouse this morning.
"I've always been a Joe Biden fan," said Ira R. Nockowitz, 42, of Deerfield Beach. "Just to get a chance to see him in person is exciting."
"I'm hoping to see unity and for this community to take him in and listen to what he has to say," said Janice Freeman, 46, of West Palm Beach.

Los Angeles bench comes alive, outscores that of Memphis 41-11
Clippers 82, Grizzlies 72
The Los Angeles Clippers refused to let a third chance to knock the Memphis Grizzlies out of the playoffs slip away.
Kenyon Martin scored seven of his 11 points in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with an 82-72 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 7 on Sunday.
"That's why it's seven games," Martin said. "If you don't do it before, you get another chance. So they did what they had to do, they came and stole home court back on our floor. ... We had a chance to close it out. We knew we let it go, an opportunity get away."
The Clippers blew an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter Friday night. So Martin huddled the Clippers together at the start of the fourth quarter Sunday, and the veteran led the bench in outscoring the Grizzlies 25-16. Chris Paul had the only bucket by a starter in the final 12 minutes, and the Clippers' bench outscored the Memphis reserves 41-11 overall.
"Our bench was our MVP," Clippers guard Randy Foye said. "They realized what they had to do. We had a lot of guys hurt, so we just continued to grind."
Now, the Clippers have their third postseason series win in 41 years and their second since relocating to Los Angeles. They last beat Denver in 2006. The Clippers also avoided becoming the ninth NBA team to blow a 3-1 lead in a best-of-seven series in moving on to play the top-seeded Spurs starting Tuesday night in San Antonio.
"I want the guys to enjoy this, and then we'll regroup tomorrow and focus in on that," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "But obviously another big challenge for us."
Paul scored 19 points despite playing with a strained right hip flexor. Nick Young had nine of his 13 off the bench in the fourth as the Clippers finished off the series with their biggest margin of victory. Paul was so confident of victory he bought plane tickets for his wife and son to San Antonio on Saturday.
"I felt like we should have won earlier," Paul said. "But it doesn't matter. As long as you win, I think it is a step in the right direction for our franchise.
Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol each had 19 for Memphis, which lost a Game 7 at Oklahoma City a year ago in the second round of the playoffs. Zach Randolph had a game-high 12 rebounds.
"Unfortunately, no one on the bench stepped up and helped us," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said.
The Clippers, who trailed 56-55 after three quarters, took control by opening the fourth with an 11-2 run started by a jumper by Martin. He tipped in a shot for a 66-58 lead with 8:41 left. Mo Williams matched the Clippers' biggest lead to that point at 10 with a three-pointer pushing it to 71-61 with 7:04 left in a 16-5 spurt to open the quarter.
"They hit shots in a hurry," Gay said of the Clippers. "They made plays off our turnovers, and they just converted, something we weren't doing at that time."
Los Angeles finished off the win by hitting 9 of 10 free throws in the final 3:26.
Heat 95, Pacers 86: LeBron James was promised some rest. It never came. The MVP didn't care, not after he and the Miami Heat struck the first blow against the Indiana Pacers.
James accepted his third MVP trophy from Commissioner David Stern before the game, then scored 26 of his game-high 32 points while playing every second of the second half — adding a season-high 15 rebounds as well — as the host Heat survived some rough stretches to beat the Pacers in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Sometimes I think swimming faster will help keep me afloat, but it's just the opposite. Slowing down is what gives me a chance to swim deeper and farther. But it's hard to go slowly when reaching the end of a draft. That's when my muscles are aching,I can barely lift my legs, and I try to speed up, kicking like mad for the shoreline in the hope that I'll make it to the end before exhaustion
This is so true. I still struggle with impatience and learning to hold back and not let myself hurry ahead. Thanks for the insights.
Me, too. It's an ongoing challenge to balance my impatience to reach the end with holding back, slowing down, and going deeper. Glad the thoughts were helpful.

By the time we reach the end of a draft--whether it's our first or forty-second attempt--we're so close to the work that we can't always see it clearly. That's when it's helpful to ask for feedback, to rely on another pair of eyes to help us see and understand what we may have accomplished (and what we may still need to do).But who do we trust to give us feedback on our work? How do we know if
Bruce,

Sometimes, I find that I'm the reader I'm looking for after I've done dozens of revisions. I have to put the poem aside for a period of time when I can't get it just the way I want it...get frustrated with it...or I'm not sure it's the best I can do. I find that returning to a poem after time away from it can often help me to "see" it with new
Somebody once told me "Time is the best editor." (I've worked with some fabulous editors, so I don't know if time is the "best" editor... but it's pretty good.) Spending time away from a manuscript can be so helpful. I'm always amazed at what I "see" that I was unable to see when I was closer to the work. But stepping away from one's work for a

The process of reading–taking in words, images, emotions–is related to writing, except the words, images, and emotions flow in the opposite direction.While you're reading, you're thinking critically, analyzing plot or theme, evaluating a character's developments, measuring the success or failure of the story based on how deeply the story and characters move you. And you're using your imagination

Distinguished poet, anthologist, editor and teacher, Lee Bennett Hopkins, admits that he happened to start writing poetry in the 1960's by accident. "The first poem I penned, 'Hydrants,' was written in the late 1960's," says Hopkins, who has written hundreds of poems since then. "It was a result of my city-living. The first person who heard it was May Swenson, the great American poet, who further
Thank you, Bruce, for your most inventive interview questions.

My best-est.

My pleasure, Lee. Thanks for helping other writers find their way into the water.
I'm surprised he had the guts to read something before such an acclaimed figure.

As for children and poetry, I think it's more the 'fear factor' than the having to memorize. Too many rules for freedom.
Part of learning to write--poetry or fiction or anything, really--is learning to take risks, so I'm not surprised at all that Lee had "the guts" to share his work early on. You never know what will inspire you to keep writing.
from Lee Bennett Hopkins

Truly 'acclaimed figures' are only
'acclaimed' by others. Most acclaimed figures I've met are extraordinarily generous; real people.

May Swenson was as real as anyone could ever be.

Lee Bennett Hopkins
Thanks, Lee, for the reminder to look beyond labels to see the real person. And, thanks, too, for your amazing generosity.

Shadowrun: Online Announced, Gets Kickstarter
When Shadowrun Returns was announced a few months back, we were extremely happy, especially when its Kickstarter was a total success, guaranteeing the game will be produced. That drive was so successful – far exceeding the requested donation cap – that we can now apparently look forward to even more. Cliffhanger Productions has acquired the rights to make Shadowrun: Online.
The game is still conceptual, but they're suggesting some rather amazing features for an MMO. "The collective actions of players will not only determine the fate of the online game world, but our unique player-driven plotline will enable you to determine the future of the whole Shadowrun Universe!" Awesome. They're seeking $500,000 by the middle of August in order to make it happen. Head over to the Kickstarter page to drop some money in the till, and in the meantime, here's the video Cliffhanger produced to win you over.

The Citadel: Europe's First Floating Apartment Complex
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On July 29, 2009 @ 1:00 am In Architecture,Floating Houses,Green Building,Prefab Housing | 8 Comments
The Dutch have been fighting the rising and falling tides for centuries, building dikes and pumping water out of areas that are below sea level. Now, rather than fight the water infiltrating their land, the Dutch will use it as part of a new development called 'New Water [1]', which will feature the world's first floating apartment complex, The Citadel [2]. This "water-breaking" new project was designed by Koen Olthuis [3] of Waterstudio [4] in the Netherlands, and will use 25% less energy than a conventional building on land thanks to the use of water cooling techniques.
Olthuis is responsible for a number of floating residences [5] around the world and he thinks that we should stop trying to contain water and learn to live with it. The New Water and the Citadel [2] projects are an attempt to embrace water in the Netherlands, which is almost completely composed of wetlands. The project will be built on a polder, a recessed area below sea level where flood waters settle from heavy rains. There are almost 3500 polders in the Netherlands, and almost all of them are continually pumped dry to keep flood waters from destroying nearby homes and buildings. The New Water Project will purposely allow the polder to flood with water and all the buildings will be perfectly suited to float [6] on top of the rising and falling water.
The Citadel will be the first floating apartment complex, although there are plenty of floating homes [6] out there. Built on top of of a floating foundation of heavy concrete caisson, the Citadel will house 60 luxury apartments [8], a car park, a floating road to access the complex as well as boat docks. With so many units built into such a small area, the housing complex will achieve a density of 30 units per acre of water, leaving more open water surrounding the structure. Each unit will have its own garden terrace as well as a view of the lake.
A high focus will be placed on energy efficiency inside the Citadel. Greenhouses [9] are placed around the complex, and the water will act as a cooling source as it is pumped through submerged pipes. As the unit is surrounded by water, corrosion and maintenance are important issues to consider. As a result, aluminum will be used for the building facade, due to its long lifespan and ease of maintenance. The individual apartments are built from prefabricated modules [10]. The Citadel [2] will be situated on a shallow body of water, and in the future numerous buildings, complexes and residences will float on the water alongside it.

Monday's Small-Cap Winners & Losers
(FBN). Shares vaulted 32.9% after Samson Holding disclosed that it and several affiliates might consider buying out the St. Louis-based, company. The investor group, which already owns a sizable stake, also said Furniture Brands declined a merger proposition earlier this year.Furniture Brands says it mulled over the proposal and requested more information, without which it has "been unable to adequately evaluate the merits of Samson's indication of interest." Shares of the furniture maker gained $3.34 to $13.48 to help prop up the Russell 2000, which recently surged 17.35 points, or 2.2%, to 822.8. The S&P SmallCap 600 performed similarly. Allied Healthcare International (AHCI) was another small-cap winner after selling two subsidiaries, Allied Respiratory and Medigas, for roughly $74.7 million in cash to Air Liquide of France. Shares of the New York-based health-care staffer rocketed 30.9% to $3.13. China's Yucheng Technologies (YTEC), meanwhile, bounced nearly 17% after striking three contracts with China Construction Bank valued at around $8.9 million for call-center integration, as well as upgrading and expanding the bank's national credit-card call center. Yucheng shares were up $1.60 to $11.20. SXC Health Solutions (SXCI), an information-technology purveyor for the health-care industry, sliced at least 8 cents off its fiscal 2007 profit forecast to between 51 cents and 55 cents a share. The Lisle, Ill., company also trimmed its revenue guidance down to between $92 million and $93 million. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial are seeking revenue of $96 million. Shares lost $2.97, or 18.5%, to $13.05.Small-cap stocks leapt higher Monday amid soaring names such as Furniture Brands International

Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, announced today that the Emmy Award-winning WordGirl will aim to beat the heat of July with a weeklong programming event called "There's A New Villain in Town."
Press Release from Scholastic
New York – July 6, 2010 – Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, announced today that the Emmy Award-winning WordGirl will aim to beat the heat of July with a weeklong programming event called "There's A New Villain in Town." Set to air on PBS KIDS GO! July 19-23 (check local listings), this special week of programming pits WordGirl against all-new villains with two never-before-seen episodes paired with fan-favorites. Fans can also play new games and enjoy new printables on PBSKIDSGO.org.
New episodes airing Monday and Tuesday, July 19-20, follow WordGirl as she goes head-to-head against the sly game show host Seymour Orlando Smooth, and the impressive imposter Amazing Rope Guy. Fan favorites re-air the rest of the week. Other villains featured include Nocan The Contrarian, Kid Potato (voiced by Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Ed Asner), Royal Dandy, Ms. Question, Guy Rich, and Lady Redundant Woman.
"WordGirl fans may be on summer vacation, but a super heroine's work is never done." says Deborah Forte, President of Scholastic Media, Executive Producer of WordGirl, and Executive Vice President of Scholastic Inc., "Scholastic is proud that our award-winning show continues to delight children and parents alike with the power of a great vocabulary."
Real-Life Contest Winner Appears July 20
The premiere episode of "OH WHAT A TANGLED ROPE YOU TIE, AMAZING ROPE GUY / KIDS ACTION NEWS" (Episode #226 airing July 20) includes the appearance of a character based on nine-year-old Amanda Endicott of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Amanda won Scholastic Book Club's "My Favorite Word" Contest, which asked kids to submit their favorite words for a chance to appear as an animated character in an episode of WordGirl. Amanda writes: "My favorite word is miniscule. Miniscule means very, very tiny. I like the word because I like the way it sounds. When I'm sitting in the backyard, the ants look miniscule."
Designed to enrich children's vocabulary, instill a love of language, and foster better reading comprehension, WordGirl debuted as on-air and online shorts in November 2006 and has been airing daily since 2008. The show has won numerous parenting and industry excellence awards since its debut, including an Emmy Award for "Best Writing in Animation," a Television Critics Award for "Outstanding Achievement in Children's Animation," a Gracie Award for its portrayal of a strong female character, an iParenting Media Award, a KidScreen Award for Best Voice Talent, a Parents Choice Silver Honor Award and many more. WordGirl books are published by Scholastic and new games and puzzles are scheduled to release from Briarpatch later this year.
Voice talent for these episodes includes Dannah Phirman ("MadTV") as WordGirl, Chris Parnell ("30 Rock," "Saturday Night Live") as the Narrator, Grey Delisle ("Scooby Doo") as Ms. Question, Daran Norris ("Party Down", "American Dad") as Seymour Smooth and Nocan the Contrarian, William Mapother ("Lost") as Guy Rich, Larry Murphy ("Ugly Americans") as Amazing Rope Guy, Sergio Cilli ("InfoMania") as Royal Dandy, and Ed Asner ("Up!") as Kid Potato.

Jay McCarroll clothing creates the radiation of awesome fashion spectrum although it may be growing as the start of the fashion paths could evolve into. The indexing climax that the brand inculcates is mainly those that are seen to be seemingly strong and precluding, advancing and indulging, fetishlike inclined and firmly gripping. The American-styled couture may be lower priced compared to its startling counterparts of the fashion industry but mainly and more intuitively, the designs of Jay McCarroll are seen to be engaging and enrolling itself enough to combat the imbalance and attuned activity that can be seen as the norm of fashion styles coming in stagnant. Only the appetizing and the more indulging episodes of the brand can be indexed with its total expulsion of the one-track fashion idealism.
Jay McCarroll competitors include Urban Outfitters clothing, Jeffrey Sebelia clothing, Wendy Pepper clothing, Chloe Dao clothing and Christian Siriano clothing stores.

Bobbing Apple
One more thing that Apple has accomplished: Making the paper worth of investors a heck of a lot more volatile.
There's nothing new in the shares of technology companies bouncing around – but when one of them becomes the most valuable company in the world, the total wealth needle gets a lot shakier.
Shortly after it reported results Tuesday, Apple's shares leapt about 7% in after-market trading, pushing its market capitalization up by roughly $40 billion to $563 billion.
Let's put that in perspective. Erstwhile Apple competitor Dell is worth $28 billion. The 9% share price decline at Wal-Mart — the world's biggest retailer — since allegations of bribery emerged over the weekend equates to a mere $16 billion.

Hosting.co.uk Adds BitCoin, The World's First Startup Digital Currency, To Available Transaction Methods
LUXEMBOURG, Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hosting.co.uk, the UK-based web hosting provider, has announced the addition of BitCoin as an eligible payment method for its services. BitCoin offers numerous advantages over traditional bank transfers or credit card transactions, security and privacy being the most noteworthy. The BitCoin network also simplifies the processing of international sales. Hosting.co.uk hopes to reach even more new clients with this foray into the startup digital economy of digital coins. BitCoin is a decentralized, person-to-person economy of digital coins. The code that makes the BitCoin network possible is open source, meaning anyone can look behind the scenes and see how everything functions. For users of BitCoin, there are no fees or other hidden costs, as is typical of many other payment methods. From a functionality standpoint, BitCoin transactions are designed to mirror online banking and payment systems, so most users should have no problem navigating within this digital economy.BitCoin works around the world. As an all-digital network not backed by any government or bank, there are no exchange rates to consider. For merchants, accepting digital coins is a way to make purchases easier for international customers. Because it's also less costly than traditional payment methods, BitCoin offers a chance for businesses to increase profit with no additional investment. "We understand that many potential customers still shy away from digital payment methods, fearful of identity theft or fraud," said Hosting.co.uk's Frederick Schiwek. "That's why Hosting.co.uk has moved forward with BitCoin as an alternate payment method. Not only is it faster and less costly than most bank-mediated transactions, it's more secure as well. We expect to see a surge in clients from around the world thanks to the globalizing effects of digital currency." Hosting.co.uk has built a reputation as an affordable and reliable hosting service provider. The company's target market includes everyone from individuals to small- and medium-sized businesses. BitCoin will be most appealing to individual users, especially those located outside of England or continental Europe. Hosting.co.uk offers hosting packages ranging from "Beginner" to "Ultimate." All packages come with a 99.9% uptime guarantee, as well as access to the latest versions of PHP, MySQL and Apache. Clients manage their sites and services via cPanel's graphical user interface. Recently, Hosting.co.uk partnered with MEGA cloud storage service as an authorized reseller. MEGA offers turn-key data storage with no software to install and the highest level of security. The service has quickly become a frontrunner in the competitive realm of cloud storage solutions. For Hosting.co.uk, this partnership represents another layer of value for current and future clients.
