Books Bursting With Life
A philosopher once said, "To read a book like being inside the mind of another human being." This month we've selected some books that approach life from different angles.
Notes On Life
Halis Kuralay, who is visually challenged, has written a biographic motivational book for everyone: Touching Life. Kuralay's outlook is compelling. Showing how obstacles in the mind can be overcome with the right kind of motivation, Kuralay has put his signature on a book that is at once a good read and a life lesson.
Noise In Footprints
In her new book of short stories, Noise in Footprints, Cihan Aktaş describes people who have settled outside their country, whether by choice or by necessity. In these stories, which focus on the relationship between man and his location or the city, Aktaş describes people who live amidst the world's different sounds and cultures, from Amsterdam to Los Angeles, from Japan to Istanbul.
Able To Speak Of Love
Prof. Dr. Levent Çelik Seçer is a medical doctor who has been interested in music and literature for years. Now he has published a book of short stories titled Not Enough Time For Love. At the heart of the book, in which Seçer relates own life experiences in a blend of the essay and short story genres, is the concept of love, whose meaning and value we do not adequately appreciate.

Game 3: Idaho (0-2) vs. Green Bay (2-2)
When: Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2012 (7:05 p.m. PT)
Where: Moscow, Idaho (Memorial Gym)
Radio: Vandal Radio Network/VandalXtra
Television: None
Online Video: VandalXtra
Live Stats: www.GoVandals.com
A Look at the Phoenix
Green Bay is 2-2 this year after opening the season with wins over Chicago State (72-67) and Southern Utah (66-54), then following with losses at Nevada (71-69) and against Cal State Fullerton (93-82). The Phoenix are shooting 38.8 percent overall and just 20.6 percent from 3-point range, but they've out-rebounded opponents by a 44.0-32.8 (+11.3) margin this season, including 16.3 offensive boards per game. Green Bay also averages 9.0 steals and 4.8 blocked shots per game. Opponents are hitting a .417 overall clip and .368 from 3-point range against Green Bay. The team has three different players averaging 12+ points and three who averaged more than seven rebounds per game.
Green Bay Head Coach Brian Wardle
Brian Wardle is in his third season as head coach at Green Bay. He holds a 29-33 record in his first career head coaching position. He led the Phoenix to a 15-15 record and sixth-place tie in the Horizon League last season. Wardle was the youngest head coach in NCAA DI basketball when he was promoted from an assistant position in 2010. He was a five-year Green Bay assistant from 2005-10. He also spent two seasons as Director of Operations at Marquette from 2003-05.
Idaho Vandals
Idaho's men will try to rebound on Tuesday after seeing a 15-point second-half lead evaporate on Saturday in a 66-63 home loss to Montana. Junior Stephen Madison scored a career-high 22 points and Idaho shot 42.1 percent, but were outrebounded, 34-31, and gave up a 47.9 percent clip to the Griz.
Vandals vs. Phoenix
Green Bay holds a 2-0 series lead, including a tight 63-61 victory last season at Green Bay, Wis. In that game, Idaho senior Kyle Barone had a double-double of 13 points and 12 boards, along with four blocks. Stephen Madison contributed 13 points and five rebounds for Idaho. The Vandals held a 36-18 edge in the paint, but made a season-low three 3-pointers and GB outscored Idaho 20-7 off turnovers.
A Bunch of Tall Guys
Idaho might not see a front line like Green Bay's until WAC play. The Phoenix start 7-1, 226-pound junior center Alex Brown and 6-9, 265-pound forward Brennan Cougill and bring 6-8 Nick Arenz and 6-9 Greg Mays off the bench. Idaho kept Brown in check last season, but let Cougill go off for 19 points and 19 rebounds. With 6-10 Kyle Barone, 6-9 Joe Kammerer and 6-8 Marcus Bell and Wendell Faines, Idaho isn't exactly undersized, either. Post play could end up being the deciding factor on Tuesday.
A Good Day All Around
Senior guard Mike McChristian appears to be tightening his grip on Idaho's starting point guard spot. On Saturday against Montana, the second-year Vandal tallied career highs of 10 points, five assists, three steals, one block, four made field goals, two made 3-pointers and 35 minutes on the court.

Listen to the latest blast of premium-calibre satirical hogwash.
Download from ITUNES | SOUNDCLOUD | FEEDBURNER
The Bugle, one of the universe's leading satirical comedy podcasts, featuring John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman, lives on.
Since its birth in October 2007, John and Andy have dispensed their weekly doses of satire and bullshit to an estimated potential global audience of 7 billion people. They have left no political hot potato unbuttered, and have presided over, and/or caused, and/or commented on (delete according to preference) the downfall of several of the world's least desirable despots and dinner companions.
After four years and 178 full issues (plus sundry extra sub-episodes) hosted by Times Online, The Bugle is now independent, and hoping to carry on Bugling until the end of time (logistics permitting).
Attention Buglers. We hope you are having an absolutely phenomenal day / hour / minute / week / month / life / millennium.
Thank you to all who have so far contributed to help keep The Bugle alive and bugling.
We have made some decisions on the future of The Bugle. Our goal is to continue satirising anything that moves for the next few decades or centuries at least. If you would like to help us score that goal, read on.
We contemplated charging for The Bugle, looking for advertising, and various other funding options, but have decided to keep the show independent, unbesmirched by the invasive hoof of the advert, and, most importantly, free ? free for all 7 billion current and future Buglers to download.
Your contributions have enabled us to do this in the short-term, and now this is your chance to be a Bugle-long-term-future-saving hero.
We are instituting a new voluntary subscription system. An online honesty box through which you can keep the show going for all eternity. Or at least, some eternity.
You can make recurring payments, to the value of whatever you think The Bugle is worth. Some of you might think it is worth 0 pence, or less. Other might think it is worth $10,000,000 a month. Most of you probably think it is worth somewhere in between those two sums.
Choose your own level of commitment, from £1 (or less, if you are a total skinflint) to £1m.
You can also still contribute a one-off sum as before, if you hate the concept of recurrence.
In the Facebook poll we ran after our split from Times Online, around 80 per cent of respondents said they would be prepared to pay for The Bugle. Well, 80 per centers, here is your chance to step up to the plate, slap a dollop of mashed potato onto it, and waggle your face around in it.
So, as the world moves inexorably towards Armageddon, and with the sun due to run out of fire in just 5 billion years' time, will you help The Bugle buck the trend by moving into a bright new future?
Please select one of the links below:
Yes, I want to take out a voluntosubscription to the planet's sole remaining source of trustworthy fact.
Yes, I want to make a one-off donation the planet's sole remaining source of trustworthy fact.
No way, losers. I hate The Bugle with a passion, and wish upon it the miserable demise it so richly deserves.
Rushed into production just five-and-a-half years after The Bugle podcast first started power-spewing its signature cocktail of nonsense into the planet's already overfilled cistern of public discourse, the first tranche of Bugle merchandise has finally arrived.
It promises to be the retail event of the millennium so far.

Community Cycles gets major funding boost from DRCOG and Boulder County
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
BOULDER – Community Cycles, a nonprofit organization that educates and advocates for the safe use of bicycles, will receive two grants totaling $120,000 from the Denver Regional Council of Governments and Boulder County. These grants, which begin in 2012, will expand Community Cycles' programs, including its Earn-a-Bike, jail work release, workplace training, and children's safety programs.
·- DRCOG awarded Community Cycles $50,000 over a two-year period as part of a Federal Highways' Congestion Mitigation Air Quality initiative. Community Cycles will apply the funding to conduct bike-training workshops at local businesses to encourage bike commuting. This program will begin in March. Businesses in Boulder County and along the U.S. 36 corridor are eligible to participate.
- Boulder County awarded Community Cycles $70,000 to expand its popular Earn-a-Bike program, which involves participants attending several classes to learn basic mechanical skills, safety and etiquette before "earning" this bike at no cost. This Boulder County grant is part of a larger Federal Transit Adminstration grant. The Earn-a-Bike program has reduced car trips and supported low-income county residents with transportation needs. As part of the program, more than 1,500 bikes are recycled into the community as well.
"We have worked very hard during our five years to establish Community Cycles as a grassroots organization with a goal of enhancing the quality of life in Boulder County through bike advocacy and education," said Rich Points, executive director. "We rely on our members and volunteers extensively, but we are pleased to get funding we can count on to keep our efforts moving forward."

The Parkite didn't do very well in front of her hometown crowd, finishing in last place.
This year in Minneapolis, the 16-year-old flipped the script, capturing the junior national championship on March 2.
After 2012's disappointing effort, Maurer said this year's title was a welcome surprise.
"I didn't jump well at all," Maurer said of her 2012 performance. "I've been training a lot harder this year, so it's nice to see that pay off. But I definitely didn't expect to win."
Maurer's start in ski jumping resembles that of another Parkite, current women's ski jumping world champion Sarah Hendrickson.
"I started jumping when I was six years old," Maurer said. "I followed in my older brother Dillon's footsteps."
Hendrickson's older brother, Nick, also was a ski jumper for a couple years before she started jumping.
Maurer said Hendrickson is someone she tries to emulate when she's jumping.
"I've known her since I started," she said. "I've always looked up to her."
She hopes to continue following Hendrickson's lead. While Hendrickson is aiming to compete in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, Maurer is hoping to compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
In the meantime, she would like to enter more international events.
"This upcoming summer, I want to compete more in Europe," she said.
She competed at the 2013 Junior World Championships in Liberec, Czech Republic, but didn't jump as well as she would have liked.
"I was jumping with some of the best women's ski jumpers in the world," she said.
So while success internationally has yet to come, Maurer has joined the ranks of the elite junior ski jumpers in America.
With her win in Minneapolis, she added her name to the list of Parkites who have won the women's ski jumping junior national title. The list also includes Hendrickson, Lindsey Van, Jessica Jerome and Abby Hughes.

Iron Horse Classic fast approaching
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
And Classic is a term this race deserves! As a OK climber I've done it twice and if it wasn't for the 6 hours of driving I'd do it more often. Besides being a great race it also acts as a wonderful weekend to escape and enjoy the extended Memorial weekend. There's more to it then just a race, check out their events page for full details but the short of it is they have a citizen ride, a road race, crit, TT, kids race, crusier crit, velo swap, and lots of beer
So the hardest question if you do the race is, do you wuss out and take the train back down or do you H.T.F.U and ride back down?

I've been working with my client SpatialKey on the launch of their new web-based data visualization and mapping application. It's a fantastic tool for a broad base of decision makers (sales, marketing, government, police departments, you name it). It's for people who don't have the training (or time!) to use conventional location intelligence tools, yet need to pull insight from their location data to make important decisions.
SpatialKey is so easy to use that you can enter data in the application and then make all kinds of analysis on the fly, all without training. Since the maps are so visual (never want to see an Excel file after that!) and update immediately, it's very easy to find trends or answer questions you have re. your data- for ex: What customers should I focus on in my territory? How can we better fight drug dealing next to schools? Which clients should I email to for X event to maximize attendance, etc.
Once you complete your analysis, you can either invite others on your team to continue to analyze the data or you can email your findings or also post them to Flickr. Also, and as a marketer what I find so valuable, is that you can export the subset of the data you filtered (for ex the customers you decided were the best candidates for your campaign) to feed an email management system for email follow up.
Only companies with deep pockets used to be able to do geographic data analysis, and even then decision makers need to rely on analysts every time they want a different set of questions answered. SpatialKey is both for these large organizations (it integrates with traditional systems to allow a broader range of users to access the data) and also for smaller companies/organizations that cannot afford expensive location analyst tools, nor the analysts/ IT support required to use them.

Department of Criminal Justice & Sociology
Mission Statement
The Department of Criminal Justice and Sociology at Cameron University offers programs leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Criminal Justice, a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Sociology, and an Associate Degree in Applied Science in Criminal Justice. Our academic programs empower students to explore their interests, express their ideas, and experience the pride of uncovering new knowledge.
The Criminal Justice programs allow students to learn about the etiology of crime and societal reaction to the causes of crime. The role of law enforcement agencies, courts, correctional agencies, and private agencies that assist in the prevention and control of crime and delinquency are within the purview of the Criminal Justice programs.
The Sociology degree provides critical knowledge to students on social institutions, social change, and consequences of human behavior. Students learn to apply research skills and theoretical knowledge to the challenging issues of our times. Graduates of our programs find employment with criminal justice agencies, social services, government agencies, teaching, or proceed to graduate school.
Message from the Chair
Welcome to the Department of Criminal Justice and Sociology. Our goal is to educate students in order to prepare them for successful careers in their chosen fields while developing the necessary skills that will allow them to continue with their academic studies. We have dedicated faculty members who have extensive knowledge and experience in their areas of expertise and commitment to teaching, research, and scholarship. The department prides itself in providing quality education to our students.
In order to serve students well, we offer courses through online, on-campus, and ITV instruction. We have an online option for the baccalaureate and associate degrees in Criminal Justice. All this facilitates timely degree completion. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, the department offers student experiential learning through internship programs with private, local, and state agencies.
If I can be of any further assistance to you, please feel free to contact me.

New FTC Blog Endorsement, Testimonials – Simple Explanation
Apparently I've been under a rock this last week. I just learned that on October 5, 2009 the FTC has new guidelines for advertising, blog endorsements, and testimonials.
The biggest target of these new guidelines is going to be faux viral marketing efforts in my opinion. An example would be when a company recruits bloggers/3rd parties of any sort (even celebrities) to talk about their products/services in exchange for a free product, cash, or other service.
Most viral marketing efforts online are done using social media. It has been growing rapidly. Social Media spending has reached $1.35 Billion in 2007 and is expected to reach $3.7 Billion by 2011 according to the Word of Mouth Marketing Association.
The big social media platforms look like they are going to be monitored. Look for FTC agents to "friend" you on Facebook, Myspace and Twitter (LOL).
I believe though, these new guidelines are going to also affect those advertisement website (web page really) whose scrolling down never ends, with countless of fake testimonials from individuals that are not really credential. And at the end, they have a ridiculous price, or no price at all until you click on payment to get you to sign up. I mean, it's just a single webpage, but yet people still signup and fall for it every time. Usually the main products they are selling are e-books, or SEO Expert tools of some sort.
Actually, now that I think about it, every industry, every niche, online and offline is going to be affected. In the guidelines it also specifies that "extraordinary results" can no longer be used, but only on average results/testimonials; so no more "results may vary", or "these results are not common" practice.
In a nutshell a blogger or celebrity must now disclose their endorsement properly and also the payments that where made to them in detail (cash, goods, freebies, etc.)
Read the full FTC guideline.
I believe this will eliminate a lot of bad apples online, but only in the United States. So, it comes down to bloggers/celebrities around the world can say whatever they want, but not in the USA. The real problem here is that the FTC doesn't really have control over the Internet. It's not in "US territory". The Internet is worldwide, and there is really no "Internet Police".
The Internet is still like the Wild Wild West, and its evolution will continue. These bad apples can simply "move" to another country, and start making the claims again. There will always be scammers that slip through the cracks, and now policing the whole internet, and attempt to make sure no one lies seems too big of a task for even the FTC. What has happened in the past will continue to happen, the bad apples will continue pushing the limit, and the FTC will step in on the major ones they can find, but catching them all? It's impossible.
One thing I am thankful for is that companies who are doing the right thing and not attempting to sneak around with deceptive practices will slightly have a better chance of getting their voices heard over the would be scammers.
Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what do you think about the FTC new guidelines, and some of the gray areas that have been left for interpretation? Do you think that the FTC can police the Internet? Successfully?

Three more arrested in interrupted home burglary
Published: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 10:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 5:26 p.m.
Three more people have been arrested in an April residential burglary where the tenant came home and surprised the burglars, cutting one with a kitchen knife in an ensuing struggle.
Darrell Kimble Maupin, 55, was arrested Monday on charges of first-degree burglary and robbery with a dangerous weapon. His bond is set at $500,000.
Sylena Nicole Gaines, 20, also was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree burglary and robbery with a dangerous weapon. She was released on a $1,000 bond.
Joseph Ryan Baker, 22, was arrested April 22 on charges of first-degree burglary, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, and misdemeanor probation violation. His bond is set at $70,000.
On April 16, a man on Navaho Trail arrived home at 10:16 p.m. and found Willie Lynell Sellers Jr., 21, and another man inside his home, said Wilmington Police Cpl. Kevin Smith.
According to Smith, the tenant grabbed a knife off his kitchen counter and ordered the two to leave, but Sellers tried to take the knife. That's when the tenant slashed Sellers across the face with the knife, resulting in several lacerations, Smith said.
"Sellers fled the scene, but later went to the Cape Fear Hospital ER where he attempted to get treatment, which is where WPD officers charged him," Smith said.
Sellers was arrested upon his release from the hospital and is charged with attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, first-degree burglary, civil contempt and felony probation violation. His bond is set at $80,603.

Thank goodness the Bureau of Land Management will let Utahns cut down their voluptuous trees, hopefully before we're covered in snow.
The BLM will be selling 500 cutting permits so locals can find their dream tree. Permits are going on sale Nov. 14 for only $5. They're sold first come, first serve, so jump on this fast! You can only get them in-person, one permit per family with a limit of three permits per individual. Having a permit means you are one of the lucky to take home a pinyon or juniper tree, some of the fullest and tallest of the bunch.
Make some holiday memories with the family and make sure your tree is the talk of the town when picking out which tree will light up your living room.
You can find the BLM's Fillmore Field Office at 95 E. 500 North, Fillmore, Utah.
Go snatch your permit during their office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more info, click here or call 435-743-3100.

Explore how other customers are generating value with SAP technology.
$1 saved
= 8 more meals
can be served
Right now, about 50 million Americans are food-insecure, meaning they don't know where their next meal is coming from, mainly because they cannot afford to buy food for their family. The largest relief organization in the USA, Feeding America, runs more than 200 food banks—distributing billions of pounds of food each year.
Feeding America
Chicago, lllinois, USA
Charity, Donation based
Supply Chain
Public Sector
SAP Mobile Platform
It all started in 1965 when a retired businessman named John van Hengel decided to do something to help. He was volunteering in a Phoenix, Arizona soup kitchen, and began soliciting food donations for the kitchen. He ended up with far more food than the kitchen could use in its operations. Around this time, he spoke with one of the clients, who told him that she regularly fed her family with discarded items from the grocery store's garbage bins. She told him that the food quality was fine, but that there should be a place where unwanted food could be stored and later accessed by people who needed it, similar to how banks store money.
The SAP Mobile Platform deployed by Feeding America demonstrates an innovative approach to making the food collection and distribution process more efficient. It can be adopted by charitable food distribution organizations across the globe.
The demand within charitable food distribution organizations to implement mobile platforms is currently very high. That's because distribution centers see immediate benefits from utilizing mobile platforms that improve their operations, by giving them enhanced process efficiencies that reduce the staff requirements for manually keying in product information. Personnel resources can then be utilized for other needs where they can directly serve people in need.
Rescuing food from being wasted, and feeding those in need.
Feeding America constantly aspires to feed more people. The SAP Mobile Platform helps Feeding America consistently do that. Every dollar saved means eight more meals served. Mobile technology enables Feeding America to reduce operating expenses, and the company then puts more food on more trucks, and feeds more people. The technology is critical to ensure collecting the smallest quantities of food is cost-effective and worthwhile. By utilizing the SAP Mobile Platform, the company has reduced the time and effort involved in moving food from the source to the people in need.
Hero Drivers
Distributing perishable food is not easy—especially for a nonprofit organization. Technology is critical to make sure food collection from grocers' shelves is cost-effective. Truck drivers were manually filling in forms to document when items were picked up at retailers, and delivered to food banks. That information would then be manually loaded into the Feeding America back-end system for inventory management.
Wishing they had speedier information at their fingertips
The SAP Mobile Platform offered Feeding America the opportunity to eliminate manual data-entry, which allowed the organization to reduce the time and effort involved in moving food to people. Truck drivers could capture item information electronically on mobile devices that would then feed it into the backend system. This streamlined process would result not only in more efficient inventory management and route planning, but also reduced administrative work.
Simple implementation
The most important benefit that food distribution organizations gain from a technology like the SAP Mobile Platform is the ability to leverage the technology to put more trucks on the road and help more people in need by picking up more food, and delivering food more quickly. Improved efficiencies through the technology allow organizations to increase the amount of food they deliver.
Serving communities ravaged by hard economic times
For every food distribution organization, more meals can be served to more people for every additional dollar that is donated. This also translates to benefits on the cost side—for every dollar saved in system administration and operating expenses also allows food organizations to feed more people.
Revolutionizing the way we rescue food
Despite significant advances in agriculture and food production in the last century, fighting hunger remains a challenge. Even in developed countries, limited access to food by the poor remains one of society's most troubling problems.
In the United States, more than one out of five children lives in a household with food insecurity, which means they do not always know where they will find their next meal. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 16.7 million children under 18 in the United States live in this condition—unable to consistently access nutritious and adequate amounts of food necessary for a healthy life. In 2010, the top five states with the highest rate of food insecure children under 18 are the District of Columbia, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, & Florida. Twenty percent or more of the child population in 36 states and D.C. lived in food insecure households in 2010.
This is a major problem for society because a critical component to a healthy life is nutrition. From birth, the intake of vital nutrients is essential to the growth and development of a healthy individual. Good nutrition, particularly in the first three years of life, is important in establishing and maintaining a good foundation that has implications on a child's future physical and mental health, academic achievement, and economic productivity. Unfortunately, food insecurity is an obstacle that threatens that critical foundation.

For a couple of years now a colleague of mine (Ben Schuldt, aka War on Error) has been building a site that collects every significant critique of my work online or in print. There is so much of this now that I haven't had the time even to keep track of it all much less answer any of it. But with all or most of it cataloged in one place, and blogging now a regular pastime across the world, perhaps others who have that time can undertake the task for me. So I sponsored a simple wiki site to help Ben get all this up and running, and he says it's pretty much ready to go.
As Ben has time he keeps adding to it, but now that it's "live," feel free to tell him about things he missed. He'll get them in there. We are not cataloging forum posts, or comments in threads, or tweets, or Facebook posts, or any random rigmorole like that, however; only full-on blogs and articles (and of course anything in print). Ben also sometimes doesn't agree with me himself, and he has posted and cataloged his critiques as well, and welcomes responses to those just as much as any of the other stuff. Ideally we'd like it to have good replies (even if those replies amount to me correcting myself, since one of the aims of the project is to catch my errors; because we all make them, and I'm keen on rooting mine out).
The site he has built is called the Richard Carrier Project. You can hop on over there and read the mission statement, and explore further if you like. It has some useful extras. For example, he keeps a running catalog there of all the audio and video of me there is to be found online (and certainly if you know of anything available that's not there, send him the link). There is also an amusing Roast page that is full of all the awful things people have said about me (some worse than others).
If you are keen to, there are two ways you can contribute to this project…
1. Independent Response
You can answer anything that's cataloged in it on your own blog or website, submit the link to Ben, and if it's good enough your answer will get in the catalog as a response. What is "good enough"? Well, there is a Project Directives page that gives you some of the requirements we (mostly Ben) have set. But overall, we would only count as being an appropriate response to catalog at the site something that does one or more of the following:
- Treats what I have actually said, compares it with what the critic said (especially the stuff they curiously left out), and sets the reader straight on the issue (e.g., how far are they missing my point or ignoring details of my case).
- Deals with any claim that I erred as to the facts and assesses who is right on that score.
- Deals with any claim that a conclusion of mine doesn't follow from my premises (e.g., a formal or informal fallacy) and assesses who is right on that score.
- Deals with any argument I don't address, but that a critic claims refutes my conclusion, analyzing that argument for logical validity, and the truth of its premises.
Also, we will not approve any response that lies or makes obvious errors of fact or logic or obviously misses the critic's point (and that includes egregious fallacies like ad hominem, since we want well-argued, non-fallacious responses that stand up on fact-checking; but that doesn't mean you have to be polite, just right). Responses don't have to be comprehensive. You can focus on only one or a few things in a critique. Ideally we'd love a full response, but we can also construct one by adding several together. We also love responses that improve on my work, for instance explaining a point better, or providing a more rigorous or less ambiguous analysis of something, or supplying supporting facts I missed, or anything else.
2. Joining the Team
If you really impress us, and ask to help, we might invite you to become an editor of the project, which will give you more ability to carry some of the load for Ben, add critiques to the catalog, and build responses of your own within the catalog. What is "really impress us"? Obviously this is an issue of trust (since you would be given passwords to the site), so you would have to be an established presence online, enough that we can confirm you are sane, educated, honest, reasonable, responsible, on the right side of most issues, and not a pill to work with. It can be very hard to verify that for most people, so please don't get put out if you aren't recruited. Most won't be. It doesn't mean we think you aren't that sort of person; it just means we have no means of confirming that you are.
Finally, a brief disclaimer: The very reason for the site is that I have no time for this stuff, which is why Ben took it upon himself to do it. Which means I do not necessarily approve of everything on it; because I don't have time even to peruse most of it. I trust Ben's judgment and have no qualms about leaving him to it. But as I haven't carefully vetted it all, who knows what I might take issue with. In other words, don't assume this site represents my views on anything. It's more a collaborative fan project than my own work. But we will try our best to keep it at least in the right ballpark. So if you see anything on it representing me that you think is way off base, feel free to make your case to Ben (except when it's some other critic who is way off base; then, just blog about it and submit that link to Ben as a potential response to catalog).

I can't believe I'm actually going to write about this, but I felt the need to share and maybe make you laugh for a moment. Especially after reading an article about actor Octavia Spencer on The Ellen Show, where she admits that she wears triple Spanx during award's season. Triple?
Well, you remember that outfit post I did where I was wearing the Queen Grace dress? This is it, if you didn't read it. Let's just say it was experimenting time.
One of the reasons I wasn't able to wear that dress earlier was because of the tight fit (my fault). My hubby had to literally zip me into that beautiful dress. Of course I was already wearing one pair of Spanx, but I still had that pooch we all love.
Yes, yes…I know there is a great shape wear debate. You either wear it or you don't. I wear it proudly. And I firmly stand my ground. It won't make me lose weight, but it will smooth me out. Anyways, I know a 100lb woman who wears Spanx! It's not just a fat girl thing.
Back to my story…I still had the pooch. That's when I thought, hey…why don't I throw on another pair just to see how it looks. You know…just for sh*ts and giggles.
After a quick struggle, I had successfully pulled on another pair…aaaaand I couldn't breathe. And don't get me started on sitting down or eating. You should have seen me trying to get into my car. LOL! I don't know how Octavia wears three pairs!
I called my friend and proudly admitted that I was wearing two pairs of Spanx. Her response…"You can do that?" Apparently.
At the end of the night, I had to peel myself out and finally…I could breathe. It was glorious!
Now, I'm wondering, are you a two or three pair kind of woman?
Is this even common? Am I alone? Inquiring minds want to know!

Women are a small but mighty force on the 2012 Forbes 400 Richest Americans list. Among them: heiresses, CEOs, philanthropists and, yes, Oprah.
According to the magazine, just 45—or 11 percent—of the spots belong to women. Some notables:
- Christy Walton, 57, $27.9 billion. The richest woman (and the sixth-richest American overall) is the daughter-in-law of Walmart founder Sam Walton.
- Alice Walton, 63, $23.6 billion. Walton's daughter ranks eighth overall. Other Walton relatives on the list include number 79, Ann Walton Kroenke, and number 100, Nancy Walton Laurie.
- Jacqueline Mars, 72, $17 billion. The heiress to the world's biggest candy company is the third-richest woman and 16th overall.
- Abigail Johnson, 50, $11.8 billion. President of the biggest business units of Fidelity Investments, the company her father founded, Johnson is the fourth-richest woman.
- Laurene Powell Jobs, 48, $11 billion. Steve Jobs's widow is America's fifth-richest woman.
- Anne Cox Chambers, 92, $10.7 billion. Number 32 on the list and the sixth-richest woman, Chambers is still on the Cox Enterprise board, a company her father, James Cox, started in 1898. Blair Parry-Okeden, 61, granddaughter of Cox, is right behind, as the seventh-richest woman.
- Oprah Winfrey, 58, $2.7 billion. Once the country's richest self-made woman, the media star has been passed up by Doris Fisher (cofounder of Gap) and Diane Hendricks (cofounder of ABC Supply), each estimated to be worth $2.9 billion. Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman trails at $1.7 billion.

ZF-9870: Zend_Log - line 303 - Allow us to define timestamp
As mentioned in summary, the timestamp value is hardcoded as date('c'). For some of us we use a specific time stamp pattern for our logging to allow for easy parsing via pre-defined regexes. It would be nice if we could override the value before being passed to $event var.
For now I have created a child class which extends Zend_Log and copied the Log() function contents to the child class to override, kinda messy but gets us by.
Added in r22267.

A Michigan judge showed no leniency for ESPN analyst and retired NBA player Jalen Rose, who was sentenced to 20 days in jail for driving while intoxicated.
Jalen Rose, 38, was arrested for driving under the influence after he crashed his SUV on a snowy road this March. He admitted to drinking six martinis before getting behind the wheel.
Rose hid the arrest from his employers at ESPN and was temporarily pulled off the air. The arrest was made public shortly after ESPN aired his "Fab Five" documentary, which drew attention for his controversial "Uncle Tom" remarks directed at Duke graduate Grant Hill.
"I'm humbled, I'm embarrassed, and I'm very apologetic. I can assure everyone that nothing like this will ever happen again," Jalen Rose told the court.
The timing of these events couldn't be worse considering the fact that Jalen Rose opened a charter school in his hometown of Detroit. Aside from the DUI, Rose has a clean driving record and has for the most part been an upstanding citizen and employee.
But the question must be asked, should ESPN fire Jalen Rose?

La Monnaie ¦ Recitals ¦ Schubert Quartette ¦ Intro
Schubert Quartette
Marlis Petersen, Anke Vondung, Werner Gura & Konrad Jarnot
All four of them have highly acclaimed careers as soloists but they come together to form an exceptional quartet of singers who set out to introduce us to melodic but previously unknown works for mixed voices. In 2011 Marlis Petersen, Anke Vondung, Werner Güra and Konrad Jarnot gave a striking performance of three cycles of Schumann's Liebeslieder at La Monnaie. They are back this season with a no less original programme: halfway between lieder and cantata, the vocal quartets composed by Schubert range from the lightest secular music (Der Tanz) to the most meditative of sacred music (Gebet). This recital has also in store for us a sublime duet of longing for love (Licht und Liebe) and a hilarious trio about marriage (Der Hochzeitsbraten) not forgetting the lieder for solo voice where each of the singers will enchant us with their particular voices. Musical rapture to look forward to...

The rise of R.E.M. from cult heroes to superstars during the New Wave era proved that deserving, non-gimmicky American rock bands could still make it on their own terms. R.E.M.'s example of inspiration, hard work and self-belief served as a beacon that illuminated an alternative path for many musicians in the Eighties and Nineties. Without R.E.M., it's hard to imagine the alt-rock, indie-rock and college-rock movements of the last two decades. The patient, deliberate way in which R.E.M.'s career unfolded could serve as a textbook example on balancing art and commerce without compromise. As David Fricke wrote in Rolling Stone, ...full bio
"We as a band continually look forward, so it's really fantastic that someone, especially the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, are looking backward to recognize the work we've done. I'm just really honored that they thought of us."

Irish Step Dancing TCRG Party (40 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
My friend Kirsten recently took the T.C.R.G. exam--a rigorous, 3 day exam to become a certified Irish step dancing instructor. She found out on Monday that she passed on her first try! With only about a 30% pass rate, that's quite an accomplishment, and something to be celebrated! I couldn't let the opportunity pass, and the timing, just before St. Patrick's day, couldn't have been better.
Thanks to the time of year, I found Bells of Ireland flowers and real shamrocks at my local Trader Joe's. A bunch of hydrangea and a few sprays of white roses, and I had a dramatic, beautiful, thematic floral arrangement.
I made sugar cookies with Irish step dancing soft shoes, and also made a cookie that looked like each of the school and solo dresses she wore during her years of competition. It was so fun to watch her face when she realized what the cookies were!
A cake with the Bracken School of Irish Dance's logo, Irish soda bread, a pot full of golden caramel corn, and rainbow lollipops filled out the rest of the table. I used all crystal serving dishes (waterford, when I had it), and covered the table with crocheted tablecloths that evoked the classic crocheted collars of many Irish step dancing dresses.
Printables from Love the Day were the perfect finishing touch!

North Trip Is Reminder That Badminton Has Way To Go
To get his Pasadena City College women's badminton team "battle-tested," head coach Bill Sanchez took his Lancers to Northern California this past weekend. The results were disappointing with a pair of dual match losses, and an indicator to Sanchez that PCC will have to practice hard to improve.
"The trip didn't go as planned especially after we had done so well in individuals at the Grossmont Tournament," Sanchez said. "The doubles teams need to learn how to play with each other. The singles are going to have to step it up if we want to be competing for the state title in May. We have a lot of work to do, and if that's what we took away from this trip, then it was worth the travel."
PCC lost to De Anza, 17-4, after a long shuttle bus ride on Friday, then were blown out by City College of San Francisco, 20-1, on Saturday. In that match, PCC's returning state singles champion Angie Ortiz won the team's lone point in a 23-21, 19-21, 21-19 win over Rams' No. 2 player Donna Tran. Ortiz lost in a rematch of the 2012 CCCAA state singles final to CCSF's No. 1 Evonne Zhang, 21-15, 19-21, 21-17.
It was the first time in Sanchez's six-year tenure as head coach of the program the Lancers lost two straight matches and the first time since 2007 that it occurred to a PCC team.
Pasadena (0-2 overall) begins defense of its four consecutive South Coast Conference titles on Wednesday, March 13 when it goes on the road to face El Camino College. The Lancers put a 35-match conference winning streak on the line going back to 2010. The Warriors were the last team to defeat PCC in conference, 11-10, on March 3 of that year. The match is also remembered for the fact the Lancers had only three players, won all eight of the eligible matches played, and still lost the team match because it had to forfeit the rest of the unplayed matches.
The program's last legitimate team loss in SCC play occurred on Feb. 27, 2009 in the conference opener that season against East Los Angeles College, 15-6. Sanchez's teams are 51-5 (.911 win percentage) in conference play since the coach took over the program in 2008.
Against De Anza, Ortiz downed the Dons' No. 1 player Katherine Ja, 21-13, 21-19, but was beaten by No. 2 Pinky Li, 21-18, 21-17. Lancers' No. 5 player and sophomore Alyssa Boyt (pictured) scored a 21-15, 21-14 triumph over De Anza No. 6 Nancy Huynh while No. 6 Lancer freshman Alejandra Palacios rallied to beat Huynh, 11-21, 21-15, 22-20. In No. 3 doubles, Boyt and Palacios downed Huynh and Phoebe Wong, 21-13, 21-14, for PCC's other team point.
The No. 1 Lancers' doubles team of Ortiz and freshman Alice Liew went the distance in losing both of its matches. They fell v. No. 1 Ja and her sister Christina Ja, 21-13, 9-21, 21-16, and were beaten by the No. 2 unit of Li and Jessica Dinh, 15-21, 25-23, 22-20. The Ortiz-Liew combo also suffered a 3-set loss at San Francisco, 14-21, 21-18, 21-11 v. the Rams' No. 2 squad of Queen Pabellan and Nancy Mei.

A missing canister of a deadly virus. A lab technician bleeding from the eyes. Toni Gallo, the security director of a Scottish medical research firm, knows she has problems, but she has no idea of the nightmare to come.
As a Christmas Eve blizzard whips out of the north, several people converge on a remote family house. Stanley Oxenford, the research company's director, has everything riding on the drug he is developing to fight the virus, but he isn't the only one: his grown children, who have come to spend Christmas, have their eyes on the money it will bring; Toni Gallo, forced to resign from the police department in disgrace, is betting her career on keeping the drug safe; a local television reporter, determined to move up, has sniffed the story, even if he has to bend the facts to tell it; and a violent trio of thugs is on its way to steal it for a client already waiting, though what the client really has in mind is something that will shock them all.
As the storm worsens, the emotional sparks, jealousies, distrust, sexual attraction, and rivalries, crackle; desperate secrets are revealed; hidden traitors and unexpected heroes emerge. Filled with startling twists at every turn, Whiteout rockets Follett to a class by himself.
Don't miss Ken Follet discussing the history of the thriller and its role in literature at the 92nd Street Y.
©2004 Ken Follett; (P)2004 Penguin Audio
"[The] nail-biter ending drags readers to the very edge of their seats and holds them captive until the last villain is satisfactorily dispatched." (Publishers Weekly)
"Edge Of The Seat Thriller!"
I loved this book, but it was a bit slow until the second half. All I can say is don't stop listening. The first half lays the groundwork and introduces all of the characters. The second half is very exciting and thrilling with one thing after another happening. The author doesn't leave us hanging, either. He wraps it up very nicely at the end by letting us know what happens to all of the characters. I found it to be very enjoyable.
"Ken Follett goes Danielle Steeel"
What a dreadful disappointment - after five hours into the book, still NOTHING has happened other than that we have been introduced to half a dozen idle rich women and their dysfunctional male counterparts. The description of the self absorbed lives of these people is what most guys fear from romance novels - and to juxtapose these trivial problems to the potential of a virus on the loose on the British Isles that has a 100 percent mortality rate simply doesn't work.
The reader does justice to the whiny voices of the cast of unsympathetic characters. She would not work for a thriller, which I incorrectly assumed Whiteout to be, but for the bickering dialog of entitled women and spineless men, she is doing a good job.
Don't spend your money on this dud!
"Stunning Thriller"
I had all but given up on this genre and bought "Whiteout" only because I always preferred Ken Follett over all the rest. The difference between my thoughts and the previous review just serve to demonstrate all the outside factors we bring into whatever it is that we are reading. I find none of the annoying entitled women's perspective - yes, those women are present but they seem more like background texture than nerve-grating whiners. Instead, to me, it's a lean, well-constructed, logically presented techno-thriller with fully developed details, precise timing, sudden scene changes, and incisive character introspection to keep the reader off-guard. All this is paired with a few clever, lighter touches that keep the reader entertained. Plus, Follett gives a very real sense of place to the whole scenario. All in all, a great read!
I am an avid listener. I listen between 75-100 hours per month on my iPhone: 60% fiction to 40% non-fiction.
"Bio-thriller love story!"
Yes. Whiteout is a combination who-dunnit, love story and thriller wrapped nicely into a Scottish backdrop. It's very good.
The techical aspects are actually a backdrop to the interpersonal conflicts. I like it when the authors don't overdose on technology.
"Different Style But Still Liked It"
Follett is the author of two of my favorite audio books of all time, "Pillars of the Earth" (not in audible library) and "Hornet Flight" (in audible library - a must listen).
I found this book to be written in a COMPLETELY different style! The only way I can describe it is that it seems like an old pompous British woman wrote the book. Likewise, the reader read the book in exactly that manner, and she has a blue blood British accent.
Nonetheless, like all the Follet audiobooks I just can't turn it off. It's a good story and a fun listen, and you will find yourself anxiously anticipating getting back to it!!
"A little slow"
I have read all of Ken Follett's book and looked forward to this one. Unfortunately it takes a long time to get interesting. It was okay but not great.
"You May Like It"
I have to disagree a little with the opinions of some of the other listeners. I think that this story was pretty exciting. Some of the characters annoyed me a little, but people get annoyed by other people all the time. It didn't cause me not to like the plot.
The only thing I really didn't like was that the reader is very no-nonsense and her voice is very monotone. She has an accent and I had to pay close attention to some words. She would have bored me if the story had not been so interesting. I got hooked right away. I have little patience, and could not get through Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norell, and I got through this and liked it. It isn't my favorite audio book (like Time Traveler's Wife) but, it wasn't too bad.
"Enjoyed contemporary follet"
It was interesting to read a Follett book about characters and situations in my own world. I also appreciated Josephine Bailey's narration.
Tired teacher. That is, REtired teacher.
"A bit disappointing"
I enjoyed this book, but it does not even come close to being as good as Pillars of the Earth and World Without End. I just didn't get sucked into it as I have Follett's other novels. I'm sure one reason is because it was not nearly as intricate a plot and the characters were not as well developed. I'm not giving up on his books, but I think I'll stick to the historical fiction. I think that is where his true gift lies.
"Whiteout by Ken Follett"
Yes, absolutely
On Wings of Eagles
Toni Gallo
Couldn't wait to get to the end. It was a real exciting book to listen to and enjoyed it tremendously.
I have loved every book we have listened to by Ken Follet.

I bought an ak parts kit (Bulgarian underfolder)
I obviously had to order front and rear trunnions. I opted, due to availability or lack thereof to buy a used barrel from Numrich's.
The trunnion I bought was listed as a Romanian front trunnion from black market arms and is marked as 23 mm. The barrel components appear to fit, haven't tried to press them yet, but the trunnion is huge. I will try to post some sizes tomorrow, but I figured I'd check with you all. Is there something I am missing? Or do I just have random parts?
By the way, the rear sight block and trunnion will not fit each other well.
Any ideas?
