The critically acclaimed author of The Radleys shares a clever, heartwarming, and darkly insightful novel about an alien who comes to Earth to save humans from themselves.When an extraterrestrial visitor arrives on Earth, his first impressions of the human species are less than positive. Taking the form of Professor Andrew Martin, a leading mathematician at Cambridge University, the visitor wants to complete his task and go back home, to the planet he comes from, and a utopian society of immortality and infinite knowledge.
He is disgusted by the way humans look, what they eat, the wars they witness on the news, and totally baffled by such concepts of love and family. But as time goes on, he starts to realize there may be more to this weird species than he has been led to believe. He drinks wine, reads Emily Dickinson, listens to Talking Heads, and begins to bond with the family he lives with, in disguise. In picking up the pieces of the professor's shattered personal life, the narrator sees hope and redemption in the humans' imperfections and begins to question the very mission that brought him there. A mission that involves not only thwarting human progress... but murder.
Praised by The New York Times as "a novelist of great seriousness and talent" author Matt Haig delivers an unlikely story about human nature and the joy found in the very messiness of life on Earth. The Humans is a funny, compulsively readable tale that playfully and movingly explores the ultimate subject - ourselves.

"Adorable alien story"
So you've seen it before: alien comes to Earth with preconceived notions of our planet only to be won over. In fact, at the beginning, even Mr. Haig's cleverness seems to be unable to pull you into the plot ("Come on," you say to yourself, "I've seen this movie a million times!")...but, ultimately, the cleverness draws you in. His observations (from the alien's point of view) are simply too funny (sometimes laugh out loud funny) -- even when they're painfully spot on. The alien is quite likable and convincing in his, well, humanness. The Humans might be nothing more than a light beach read (I actually did listen to most of it at the beach), but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am looking forward to Mr. Haig's next novel.
Mr. Meadows does an extremely good job capturing the alien's innocence and sense of wonder. A perfect choice for the narrator.
"Great entertainment"
Best audiobook so far
Unusual story. I didn't want it to end.
Mark Meadows was brilliant. He nailed the characters and the tone of his voice was very pleasant. I will seek out more of his audiobooks.
It made me laugh and cry.

"Fun Plus Depth"
I enjoyed this imaginative, fast-paced novel in which an alien takes over the body of a British mathematician and develops feelings for and complicated relationships with the man's wife and son. It's a lot of fun as the alien learns about life on Earth, makes wry, sometimes painfully truthful observations about human beings, and starts to appreciate our world. It got a bit preachy at the end, but over all this is a really entertaining novel with depth.
Also, the narrator gave a lively, well acted performance.
"A novel to ponder..."
My favorite so far and a far stretch from my preferred genre.
I liked the way the author makes the reader think about what type of human being he or she is, without getting bogged down in all of the things that divide us like religion, racism, sexism, act. Even an alien figured out those things should not matter.
The naiveness of the alien as he starts his new life on earth. There is something about the way it is read…these nuances would not have been as noticeable when reading the book.
The list of advice given to Oliver. I listened to it a couple of times.
Great book to listen too. I am not sure I would have finished reading the book (and I still enjoy turning pages).
Reading and listening goes straight into your medulla oblongota and you learn through thought memory. It's like being programmed into intelligence. If you read this, you just learned that the best gifts are free. Or One Credit... and that's kinda free.
"A study in who you are. Well not me, him."
Step by step talk of who we might be from the perspective of an alien who becomes..well....near human.
Great, shorter listen....stop and go chapter pace was different and odd. Albeit, in my opinion a good odd, but diary-oddness none the less.
Of What It Means to be Human: 1-100. A bit too many lessons to be learned. Funny and overall, entertaining and..... I wanted to keep going (unlike Pandora's Star!..). Missed the lesson of if you're not with the one you love, love the one you're with.
Of this new author I can say this. Talented and this was indeed creative. I see you penning a futuristic tale of survival and me.......us.........listening.
And as it turns out, being human is a preferable trait.
"Witty and Poetic"
Great story with great narration. Loved every second of it. Very clever. Excited to see the movie.
"Not my cup of tea, but others might like it."
Started out strong. It was funny and I was genuinely interested in where the main character was going in his quest. By the end it was a romance novel I wasn't interested in and positivity sappy, saccharine, and trite.
"Profound but fun"
It's always fun to look at the world afresh. This book shares insights we often overlook. I wish I had bookmarked more of them.
"Clever and engaging"
It's so hard not to get immediately sucked into the story of a realistic and modern ET on earth. A great way to think about the paradoxes of being human and a study of what is innate and what is learned. All wrapped up in a heartwarming and humorous narrative. Great story, a must listen!
A combination of science fiction, philosophy and psychiatry. I kept trying to determine a diagnosis for Andrew. I would believe the alien story for awhile and then I would find myself believing he was mentally ill. I laughed, I cried and I learned. I loved this book !!

Today's Western Mail reports that new figures have shown that one in 10 homes in Wales is at risk of flooding.
They say that overall, the number of properties at risk of flooding fell from 220,144 in 2008 to 219,571 in 2012. The biggest fall was in the number of homes at significant risk, down 16,227 to 48,064 in four years.
But the number of homes at low risk has grown from 81,000 to 110,000 suggesting that while properties have remained at risk, the chance of being flooded has dropped from as much as a one in 75 chance to a one in 200 chance.
However, some areas have seen an increase in the number of properties at risk. In Carmarthenshire, 434 more homes were at significant risk of flooding in 2012 than in 2008, while in Caerphilly it was 173 more.
A spokeswoman from Environment Agency Wales said: "In the last four years we've reduced the risk of flooding to over 16,000 properties across Wales, taking them out of the 'significant flood risk' category.
"We've been able to do this through new flood defence schemes, refurbishment projects and through improving our flood risk mapping and modelling. As our understanding of local flood risk and our mapping improves, and as development occurs, this does mean that a few local authorities have seen a small rise in properties at risk.
"As our climate changes our weather is becoming increasingly extreme. This means that we are likely to see more prolonged heavy rainfall and more flooding like we saw in Ceredigion and the Vale of Clwyd last year.
"We cannot prevent all flooding from happening, but for those people who are at risk of flooding we can support them with our flood warning service and by helping them to prepare should the worst happen."

Is TMP-SMX Monotherapy Sufficient?
Posted by Ryan Radecki
Caution has traditionally been advised for the use of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for skin and soft-tissue infections. A significant portion of these infections are caused by Group A Strep – an organism traditionally thought to be resistant to TMP-SMX.
However, these authors feel, with the rising prevalence of MRSA SSTs – for which TMP-SMX provides useful oral spectrum of activity – it is time to re-examine this dogma. Specifically, they feel the current opinion is based on inappropriate laboratory culture technique that overcomes the anti-bacterial target of TMP-SMX: thymidine metabolism. As part of ongoing clinical trials of TMP-SMX monotherapy for SSTs, they collected S. pyogenes isolates from patients and performed susceptibility testing on a variety of media they feel more appropriately reflects in vivo performance. Of the 200 isolates tested on a variety of media, only one was evaluated by Etest to be resistant to TMP-SMX. Therefore, these authors conclude TMP-SMX monotherapy may be entirely reasonable.
So, who is right? These authors – with their new culture media – or the pre-existing dogma? Unfortunately, the true answer is not yet clear – we need to look at clinical outcomes, not in vitro activity. One working theory, at least, is infected hosts seem to supply enough thymidine to enable bacteria to negate the mechanism of action for TMP-SMX in vivo. Only prospective clinical evaluation will provide better direction. I would not yet suggest TMP-SMX monotherapy for SSTs where Strep were still a possibility.

You can increase your ROI/100 hands by about 100% by leaving the table when the count goes negative. You will not win twice as much per hour, however, because of the time spent moving from table to table and because you are more likely to have several other players in your game with this style of play.
Also, I used an optimal 1-10 spread for the 6 deck comparisons. Most players use a larger spread than this but either do not bet optimally or give up some of the value with cover bets. You can also do better with a larger spread of 20-1 or greater if you can get away with betting and playing perfectly.
One more thing: 10 splitting was excluded. If they're not watching, go for it!

For those looking at Valentine's Day with the same anxiety as "Will I have a date on New Year's Eve?" take heart, take control.
- Invite your friends today for a champagne, chocolate, and strawberries party on February 14th so you all have something special to look forward to.
- Send cards to your best female friends.
- Fill a love cup with gratitude notes to someone whom you care about.
- Ask a friend to come by and both of you stay put and encourage one another to write those long overdue "thank you" notes - the real ones that require a stamp.
- Have an old-fashioned pajama and watch movies all night that will make you and your friends laugh until you cry.
Make a plan. Whatever you do -- if you are thinking sadness -- change the channel. Decide now to take the initiative to turn this Valentine's Day into one of laughter and happiness.

Campaign links: Dan Webster (R-FL-10)i
Daniel A. "Dan" Webster
Dan Webster 2016 Congressional Candidate Florida District 10
Biography of Daniel Webster from House.gov
[2012 Bio] Daniel Webster, a family man and small-business owner, has dedicated himself to serving the citizens of Central Florida with honor and integrity. For nearly three decades, he has fought on behalf of Florida's hardworking taxpayers and families to advance common-sense reforms and principled policy.
Webster served as the Speaker of the Florida House and Majority Leader in the Senate, working in these leadership roles to shake up the status quo in Florida and pass sweeping reforms that earned him widespread praise from the people of Florida.
From his first day in leadership, Webster worked to reform the way Legislature did business, requiring all proposed laws to meet specific criteria that would determine its effectiveness in benefiting the people of the great state of Florida.
As the first non-lawyer to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee in Florida, Webster led Florida as the only state to pass a constitutional amendment protecting its citizens in the landmark Kelo Case (2005) dealing with property rights and government's ability to condemn property.
With his engineering background, Webster found transportation issues quite interesting and he was thrilled to serve as Ranking Member of the Transportation Committee in the Florida House representing Central Florida's unique transportation needs. Currently, Webster is working in Congress on transportation issues to create jobs, improve Florida's roads and highways, and find ways to save money by eliminating fraud and abuse.
Webster's other committee assignment in Congress is on the influential House Rules Committee where he is fighting to bring more transparency to the process and advance a policy environment based on principle, not power.
Known for many things, Daniel Webster still holds his faith, his family, and his principles as his biggest assets.
Webster is married to the former Sandra Jordan of Orlando, and they have six children: David, Brent, Jordan, Elizabeth, John, and Victoria, and seven grandchildren. Webster is active in his church, First Baptist Church of Central Florida.
Biography of Daniel Webster from Daniel Webster for Congress
[2012 Bio] Daniel Webster, a family man and small-business owner, has dedicated himself to serve the citizens of Central Florida with honor and integrity. During his tenure in office, he has proven himself to be a true statesman, standing by his principles and steadily advancing conservative values.
As the state House Republican Leader in the 1990s, Webster engineered the successful Republican takeover of 1996, ending 122 years of Democrat control and becoming the first GOP Speaker of the House in over a century.
From his first day in leadership, Webster worked to reform the way the Legislature did business, and his sweeping conservative reforms earned him widespread praise from the people of Florida. As Speaker of the House, Webster required each proposed law to meet specific criteria that would determine its effectiveness in advancing conservative principles.
Daniel Webster was elected to the Florida Senate in 1998 and served as Majority Leader his final three years. Being known as a man of his word, Webster continued to gain respect and acclaim on both sides of the aisle for his solid principles and trusted leadership.
Through experienced eyes, Webster sees many unacceptable practices going on in Washington today. He knows first hand how to fix broken government, restore forgotten values and create effective practices and policy. There will be no waiting period at the taxpayers expense- Daniel Webster is ready today.
Daniel Webster has been celebrated and endorsed by nearly every respected conservative leader with whom he has worked to inspire change. He has been heralded as a responsible advocate with the ability to deliver on his promise. Webster proudly acknowledges his faith, his family, and his principles as his greatest assets. These are the same values he will rely on to guide him as our U.S. Congressman.

FREDERICKSBURG (AP) - Firefighters toiled deep into the night Tuesday trying to put down persistent flames that twice engulfed a turkey processing plant.
Sunday House Foods, where live turkeys have been slaughtered, plucked and packaged for more than 30 years, first burst into flames Tuesday afternoon.
The heavily refrigerated factory released clouds of ammonia fumes into the air, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
The gas forced the evacuation of hundreds of nursing home residents and other neighbors from the area.
Officials told the paper the factory - owned by San Antonio businessman James Leininger - probably was destroyed.
Residents were allowed to return home in the early evening, but not for long.
Around 11 p.m.. the fire had blazed back out of control, firefighters said. Once again, weary residents were roused and evacuated.
There were no known injuries, but a handful of firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion and smoke inhalation.

Nighthawk Energy - 41.5p
Nighthawk Energy has released a steady flow of positive news in recent months. There was a placing at 20p in February and on the back of progress since then a significant fundraising has now been conditionally completed at 35p per share.
This will raise £22.4 million before expenses and the proceeds will be used to undertake a 12 month development programme. The share price could well be pushed higher as awareness of Nighthawk's prospects is raised.
The company focuses on the development of, and production from, hydrocarbon projects and Nighthawk currently has an equity stake in four projects across the US mid-continent.
These are operated by Running Foxes Petroleum Inc., who also own the remaining interest in each project.
A 50per cent interest is held in the Jolly Ranch Group Project, which is made up of Jolly Ranch, Middle Mist and Mustang Creek, located in Colorado. This covers over 370,000 gross acres. In July Nighthawk announced details of an independent evaluation of the hydrocarbons in place at the Jolly and Craig Ranch fields.
The Revere Project is on the Kansas/Missouri border and within the Cherokee Basin, a prolific shallow oil and gas producing area from Pennsylvanian, Mississippian, and Ordovician reservoirs from less than 4,000 feet. The Revere project covers an area of approximately 40,000 acres and is made up of the Devon Oilfield, which Nighthawk has an interest of 80per cent in, plus Buchanan and Xenia projects, both of which Nighthawk owns half of.
Nighthawk has a 50per cent interest in the Cisco Springs project located in Grand County, Utah, which covers approximately 24,000 acres. There is an ongoing drilling and development programme of over 60 wells. The majority of the new commercial wells are gas producers, but significant oil zones have been discovered.
The Cliffs Shale Gas project covers 15,591 acres in Clark, Cumberland, Jasper and Crawford Counties, Illinois. The project is located within the Illinois Basin, which is a significant producer of hydrocarbons. Nighthawk owns 80per cent.
Whilst there are no guarantees of success the company does appear to have a lot going for it at the moment. Nighthawk's size and activities also encourage bid speculation and an offer for the company is a realistic possibility. This is not necessarily one for "widows and orphans" as the saying goes, but for those looking for some excitement the shares must rank as a buy at 41.5p.

I am having a hard time finding help desk software that allows for drop down hyperlink selection during ticket creation.
The situation is that we do external support for client systems and connect via remotely anywhere or logmein. Right now we use a poorly modified php based system that has a customer drop down menu and then a site drop down list that is then parsed by a bit of java script which opens a url.
What I am looking for is the ability to store customer site URL information in the database and during the creation of a ticket be able to select the customer name and then select the site there by placing the corresponding site URL in the ticket. The support tech will then be able to click on this link to access the customer's site.
Has anyone used or seen help desk software with this feature?

Pentagon grounds entire F-35 fleetFebruary 23,2013
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon on Friday grounded its fleet of F-35 fighter jets after discovering a cracked engine blade in one plane.
The problem was discovered during what the Pentagon called a routine inspection at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., of an F-35A, the Air Force version of the sleek new plane. The Navy and the Marine Corps are buying other versions of the F-35, which is intended to replace older fighters like the Air Force F-16 and the Navy F/A-18.
All versions — a total of 51 planes — were grounded Friday pending a more in-depth evaluation of the problem discovered at Edwards. None of the planes have been fielded for combat operations; all are undergoing testing.
In a brief written statement, the Pentagon said it is too early to know the full impact of the newly discovered problem.
The F-35 is the Pentagon's most expensive weapons program at a total estimated cost of nearly $400 billion. The Pentagon envisions buying more than 2,400 F-35s, but some members of Congress are balking at the price tag.
Friday's suspension of flight operations will remain in effect until an investigation of the problem's root cause is determined.
The Pentagon said the engine in which the problem was discovered is being shipped to a Pratt & Whitney facility in Connecticut for more thorough evaluation.MORE IN This Just In

"You are planning to do what?" By word or look, this was often the reaction I received from family and friends when I told them that I was planning to spend a week camping, hiking, and taking pictures with two good, Christian friends in the rugged Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. I really couldn't blame people for that kind of reaction since 62 year old men who spend their days in an office behind a computer, who have very little experience doing anything like this, and who have been told all of their life that they were too weak for such a trip just don't do things like that. But in October 2007 that is exactly what I did, and I hope this book will help people understand what I did and why I did it.

Bali Starling is the endangered bird species becoming the proud of Balinese community that must be protected. Such an effort is made by PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero Tbk.) in collaboration with the Bali Safari & Marine Park (BSMP) by establishing a large bird exhibit that will become a new habitat for the Bali Starling. The exhibit located at Lobby Barong can be viewed by all visitors.
Director of Operations of Garuda Indonesia, Novianto Herupratomo, said the cooperation was an effort to keep the population of rare bird species only owned by the people of Bali. On that account, the existence of Bali Starling was very important and the international community even considered it an endangered species that should be kept from extinction.
According to him, the partnership program was a form of corporate concern for the preservation of wildlife and the environment. Aside from inviting the entire community, it was also intended to provide education about conservation of the rare bird species. "Other than intended for the preservation of forests and mangrove planting, the CSR of Garuda also does beach clean program in Bali," he said.
It was a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program of Garuda Bali Mynah signed with the BSMP in January 2012. "It was intended to return the bird into its habitat so that the existence will be constantly maintained because it is now listed as one of the endangered species in the natural environment. This new exhibit is designed especially in appropriate with their natural habitat," he said.
He explained the assistance of Garuda was given in the form of funds for the exhibit establishment and provision of education to community. "We provide education to passengers and employees so that they are more aware of the conservation issues regarding the Bali Starling. It is also carried out in the aircraft through video," he said.
Meanwhile, the Board of Directors of the Taman Safari Indonesia, Tony Sumampao, said the obstacle in implementing conservation was that the price of Bali Starling was still too expensive. "A pair of Bali Starling costs IDR 15 million so that it makes people want to capture because the price remains high. Actually, if the population has increased the value will go down," he said.
According to him, the number of Bali Starling was dominantly in the hands of society, namely about 1,700 heads, but in the native habitat only reaches 30 heads. "The Safari Park has 4 pairs or eight heads. Our plan is to bring in 150 heads in this August. They are averagely brought in from the breeding site such as from Yokohama, Japan," he added. (BTN/015)

This summer has been buzzing with mosquito's and when you mix mosquito's with your canine friends it means one thing, "Heart-worms". These worms can be deadly to your pet and may happen slowly. The most common places a mosquito tends to bit your dog and or puppy, is the ears nose. Any place that doesn't have any thick fur to protect them is a landing strip for those pesky insects.
Heart-worms are parasites that are in the blood vessels of the heart, it is the mosquito that spread this disease. If left untreated the worms grow and basically wrap themselves around the heart like a cocoon affecting not only the heart, but the arteries and lungs as well. Some of the symptoms are: lethargy, coughing, breathing difficulties and vomiting. If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms you should consult your vet as soon as possible. Blood test will determine if your pet has heart-worm disease.
There are several things you can do to help protect your pet from becoming infected with heart-worms around your home. Remove any standing water / if the water bowl is outside, change it daily / keep your dog away from muddy and marshy areas / use pet safe insect repellant (try to avoid those with Deet on your pet) / put your dog on a heart-worm preventive medication. Your vet will discuss the best options for your canine and you.
Heart-guard, Sentinel and Advantage are all great products and can be used as soon as your pet determines your dog is free of heart-worms. Most preventive medications are given once a month for a least 6 months, it may be given longer for those that live in warm year round climates.
As always consult your vet for more information and to see what you can do to help keep your pet safe during the summer months.

Christmas tree allergy n. Allergy symptoms caused by a decaying Christmas tree inside a house or apartment.Thu, December 13, 2007 - 2:20 AM permalink
Example Citation:
Allergists have long suspected that live Christmas trees are the culprits behind some folks' runny, itchy noses during the holidays —and now one doctor believes he has proof. ...
Santilli placed a live Christmas tree inside an intern's apartment and took air samples for two weeks. (Santilli keeps his Christmas tree on a porch until Christmas Eve.)
For the first three days, the mold counts inside the apartment hovered around 800 spores per cubic meter of air, compared with a normal range of 500 to 700 spores per cubic meter. But by day 14, the mold count had skyrocketed to 5,000 spores per cubic meter. ...
Although the medical community has long known about "Christmas tree allergy," there has been some debate over what causes the sneezing, runny noses and watery eyes — pollen or mold.

Canada Online News | Gonzo Online! - Music
LIVE AT LEGENDS Buddy Guy (Silvertone) *****
Eric Clapton praises Buddy Guy as "the last real he-man of the blues guitar", a boast easily proven by Buddy's new live album. Released in mid-December Live At Legends, recorded at Guy's own Chicago night club, is fire and brimstone blues- a dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.
When Buddy Guy plays, the hair on the back of neck stands up. As he did when I saw him in Edmonton in 2006, Buddy feeds off the energy of the audience here, using it to take them higher. Legends is a mix of his own tunes alongside material by Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Jimi Hendrix, with audience members being willing participants. During I Just Wanna Make Love To You her turns the mic on the capacity crowd, who sing the chorus with gusto.
Live At Legends is about 54 minutes long and also includes three terrific studio tracks including the blistering Country Boy. Live or otherwise, at 76 years old Guy could mop the floor with guitarists half his age. As comic George Carlin once said "It's not enough to know which notes to play, you have to know why they need to be played" and if anybody on God's green earth knows, it's Buddy Guy. This isn't just music- it's magic.
TOP TRACKS: Damn Right I've Got The Blues, Country Boy, I Just Wanna Make Love To You
MY TRUE STORY Aaron Neville (Blue Note) *** ½
It's long been a dream of Neville's to do an album of doo-wop, the music that inspired him as a youngster. This is a disc of some of the genre's best loved tunes, delivered in that unmistakable falsetto, backed by a band with New Orleans swing- what a treat!
"These songs helped to mold me into who I am" Aaron says." They're all dear to my heart and they rode with me, in my bones, through all these years." Indeed, his voice is a natural fit on songs likeUnder The Boardwalk and Be My Baby. Produced by Don Was and Keith Richards (who play guitar on this too), My True Story was cut in just 5 days so the tunes aren't forced are over-arranged, a real natural feel and authenticity that can be felt right away.
Keith Richards describes recording this album as "The perfect session. 23 songs were cut in 5 days, all of them live and many on the first take"- hopefully there'll be a volume 2 before too long. Several singers from the glory days of doo-wop sing back-ups here including Eugene Pitt of The Jive Five, Bobby Jay of The Teenagers and Dickie Harmon from The Del-Vikings. Sweet music from one of the sweetest voices in music- yeah, I can dig that.
TOP TRACKS: Under The Boardwalk, Gypsy Woman, This Magic Moment/ True Love
SET YOU FREE Gary Allan (MCA Nashville) ****
This is Gary Allan's 9th album, his first since having a polyp removed from his vocal chords. To say he's back and stronger than ever is an understatement.
Set You Free represents a departure of sorts in his 17 year career. Allan has been writing songs with some new people and, along with his band, handled some of the production himself. The album was sequenced with a storyline in which a man breaks the restraints of a failed relationship and conquers the loneliness of its aftermath- the result of Allan's own journey as a man and an artist. "It's all about healing" he says, "the evolution of getter better."
Being inspired by the likes of The Highwaymen (Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson) has never been so evident as it is here. "They were so powerful" Gary Allan reflects. "It was like punk rock to me, it was so hardcore." When you hear a song line Bones you realize he ain't just whistling Dixie!
I don't like a lot of country but the stuff I do enjoy comes from a real place, like The Highwaymen and artists like Marty Stuart and Gary Allan. Catchy isn't good enough- you have to feel like they mean it when they're singing it, and there's nary a false note on Set You Free. This is the good stuff.
TOP TRACKS: Bones, Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain), Good As New
NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND Hollywood Undead (Universal) ***
This is a hard band to take seriously- the masks and the stage names that try desperately hard to be cool- but the more people hate on them the more interesting they become to me. And so I found myself spending the hour with their 3rd album Notes From The Underground, and enjoying it.
Writing for this record started on the bus, as they were wrapping up their 2011 tour with Avenge Sevenfold. "We wrote from our hearts"says J-Dog (see what I mean about the names?) "I feel like we got back to something pure." Their combo of rock with hip-hop elements is not unpleasant, skittering grooves and snappy beats abound, as they try their best to represent the soft white underbelly of Los Angeles.
The title is an homage to the novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a favorite of Johnny 3 Tears- again with the names. "We've maintained an underground identity" Johnny says. "When we write songs we're coming from a place most people don't like to look at or talk about openly." Maybe it's the part of me that used to be a rebel that responds to this music. Stylistic considerations aside, there's a clumsy honesty in the songs that reaches out, even if you don't always like what they have to say… and as Paul Stanley might bray, isn't that what rock & roll is all about?
TOP TRACKS: Another Way Out, Dead Bite, Kill Everyone

A while back I wrote about Marc Smith, Sociologist at Microsoft Research who is studying Usenet Newsgroups. I met and saw a presentation by Marc recently and I've been keeping up with NetScan- the tool they use to analyze newsgroups. I've been impressed with some of the ways they are graphically representing the growth and activity of the newsgroups over time. The screenshot below came from this TreeMap.
It looks incredibly complex, but once you read the key, and view the whole thing, it becomes a really interesting representation of the changes in the newsgroups- particularly over time.
Also, the site has a dynamic representation of cross-posting in the newsgroups. Again, see the instructions to manipulate the graphic.

Would you enjoy a day of paddling around a sparkling Minnesota lake while you count loons?
If that sound like fun to you, then the Minnesota DNR would like your help with its annual loon survey in three northern Minnesota counties, Itasca, Cook and Lake counties.
Volunteers are needed for a day during the study monitoring period of June 27 through July 7. On that day you will work from 5 a.m. until Noon. You can do your survey by walking the shores on smaller lakes, or by canoe or boat on the larger lakes.
The DNR will supply complete instructions, training, maps and data forms. You will be counting both adult loons and their adorable little babies.
DNR nongame specialist Gaea Cozier said this is a terrific opportunity for outdoor lovers to spend a day on a lake while providing invaluable information about Minnesota's state bird.
"The results allow the DNR to detect long-term changes in loon population health and help assess impacts of events like the gulf oil spill and ongoing lakeshore development," Crozier said.
You can contact Cozier for more information by calling 218-327-4267, or email her at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

I don't use addon maps much, as I'm not interested in fighting in film-locations, unless they're also GOOD MAPS. With a good dynamic. There are so few like that...
But if I ever wanted to pretend to be Obi-Wan on Kamino or something, and if a sign saying "Jango's Tanning Salon" appeared in front of me, I don't think I'd be laughing. I think I'd be trying to ignore it.
its is funny, so we like it!
Uh-huh. If you think the drivel people throw into maps to try to be "funny" is at all amusing, may I suggest you undergo psychosurgery immediately.
Spider's Mapmaking Lesson No. 1:
Don't try to be funny. If you were funny, you'd be comedians. When you try to be funny, remember that the funniest thing about your map will always be the fact that you thought you could be funny in the first place. Stick to making authentic maps.

With 2014 halfway in the can, the museums in the South Bay have seen a few interesting things. And here are a few things that happened so far:
1. Cantor Center for Visual Arts (Stanford): The museum presented a retrospective from abstracted artist Elizabeth Murray, and the works of Auguste Rodin and Carleton Watkins.
2. DeSaisset Museum (Santa Clara): The exhibitions that opened this year included one that reflected the past identity of the Silicon Valley, one that took on the importance of water, and works that explored navigation, migration and travel.
3. San Jose Museum of Art (San Jose): So far this year, the museum presented a selection or works from their permanent collection, all of which celebrated Silicon Valley's role as the capital of innovation and "initial public offerings". The exhibition featured an installation initially commissioned for the FOR-SITE Foundation, for the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge. The museum has also presented works from David Levinthal and from the Emily Fisher Landau Collection.
4. San Jose of Quilts and Textiles (San Jose): In the museum's first two exhibitions, one was a retrospective of the Art-to-Wear movement of the San Francisco Bay Area, and another was a sequel to the exhibition Tasty, exploring the intersection of food, warmth and community like it's predecessor.
Exhibitions and events to happen later this year in the South Bay Museums, include the annual International TECHstyle Art Biennial at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, and pop art and works from Robert Frank from the Cantor Center.

Today, eBay has announced that it will be acquiring the mobile payments platform Braintree for a staggering $800 million in cash. The deal will includes Braintree's payment app Venmo, and the company's CEO, Bill Ready, will report directly to PayPal president David Marcus.
The rest of the Braintree staff will stay on in their current positions and business will continue as usual. For now, Braintree will operate as a separate company under eBay ownership. This acquisition is an interesting one, and at the moment, I am not sure if the buyout was to eliminate competition or acquire some IP that eBay did not want to license.

I have an equation related to some work I'm doing on Poisson distribution where I'm calculating a sequence of 100 values between a minimum and maximum value which is set by another formula. Unfortunately I don't really understand this area of maths, but I'm trying to resolve this equation to use in a computer calculation.
Let $m$ be the minimum value and $M$ be the maximum value (which are given).
$n$, $m$ and $M$ are all integers. f(n) is also rounded to an integer value.
For $n=1$, $$ f(n) = \min(m,1) $$
For values of $1<n\leq100$ this is the formulae $$\large{ f(n) = \min\Biggl\lgroup\biggl\lgroup\frac{M}{f(n-1)}\biggr\rgroup^{\frac{1}{101-n}} \cdot (n-1) , n\Biggr\rgroup }$$
My question is - is there a way to implement this function/equation that doesn't rely on knowing the value of $f(n-1)$ - knowing $n$, $M$, and $m$.
An example sequence for $m=1$, $M=847$ is at http://pastebin.com/PvQgNg7i

If it's a multi part binary, you can't combine and decode with Thunderbird.
Use Thunderbird for text groups, pan works nice for binaries.

Video games are awesome and they've evolved into a bigger things that they were. The time has passed since we were tasked with simply saving the princess, because since then we've been tasked with deciding the outcome of a galaxy and its different citizens or traveling through time to find the templars' secrets.
Because of the complexity of games has changed so much it's no wonder that they've spawned a new culture of youtubers that dedicate themselves to analyzing the games, culture and even the industry itself. There are dozens of these youtube channels around, but these are my top 5.
These particular channels leave me thinking and in fact are part of the reason for why I write about video games today. Remember, this list is a personal opinion.
5. Rev3Games (Link)
This channel has one of my favorite people in the industry,Adam Sessler (as well as Tara Long), but the channel itself is a shotgun blast into the industry. There's news, reviews, opinion, fan mail and tons more types of videos, but the channel has two particular series well worth diving in.
The Internet Rabbit Hole videos are quite interesting (though they definitely have the copied feel of the PBS Idea Channel), but my favorite videos are the Sessler videos. They can range from news to fan mail, but every so often he'll jump on his soapbox and rant about the state of the industry and in other videos he will question the industry as well as talk about its future.
4. Extra Credits (Link)
Extra Credits can be considered a pioneer in the youtube industry as the series itself has had quite a history starting as a hobby before being picked up by The Escapist and gaining some funding (I think). Extra Credits is unique in that it examines game design and elements of story telling. Mostly an educational channel it does leave viewers with questions and asks them to analyze their favorite games.
3. PBS Game Show (Link)
The PBS Game Show is the video game focused brother of the PBS Idea Channel and poses interesting questions like the validity of video game worlds and the importance of the difficulty of games. This channel not just makes the question but also invites viewer interaction by commenting on the video, with select responses being highlighted in the following video.
2. Feminist Frequency (Link)
FemFreq has been one of my personal favorite channels for a long time. As a man in a male dominated industry, this channel first opened my eyes to the male dominance and how offensive the industry can be, thus explaining why it often scares away women.
FemFreq's main series Tropes vs Women, a series that analyzes the role of women in video, was a victim of male oriented ignorance and hatred. Host Anita Sarkeesian was the subject of tons of hate male and threats due to this series.
I do agree with what she does analyze, I don't often agree with her tone or choice of words, and the series often makes me feel like a bad guy for being a man that enjoys video games. However, I still watch the series, even if it does take 4 to 8 months for each one to release (and I also don't understand why she needed a kickstarter to make these videos... ugh.)
1. The Game Theorists (Link)
This is one of my favorite channels on youtube, not just because of its intelligence, but also because of its variety of shows. The main series Game Theory applies real world science and physics to explain in game logic such as examining the true speed of Sonic the Hedgehog, the true history of space weapons, and even looking at the gravity in the world of Assassin's Creed.
Other series in the channel include Game Exchange, Crossover, and DNSQ. Crossover is a 7-steps-to-bacon type series where outlandish connections are made to connect games like Mario Bros. to Gears of War, while DNSQ examines the the industry from a consumer and fan-based point of view.
Game Exchange, hosted by youtuber Gaijin Goomba, deals with the anthropology of video games by examining culture and language within game. Gaijin Goomba (Link) also has several series that I enjoy (even if I don't like his voice), but among these is the Learning Japanese with Games which I enjoy quite a bit.
Honorable Mentions
Two channels that didn't make the list that are worth checking out still are DYKGaming, PBS Idea Channel, and a new channel I've recently found is EducationIsCool.
DYKGaming (Link) which is a trivia based channel (and website) posts videos and images depicting trivia in game franchises.
The PBS Idea channel (Link) is mostly centered on pop-culture, but questions video games everyonce in a while such as controlling vs being the avatar.
The last I've found is EducationIsCool (Link), another educational channel, but I like his counter-arguments against the Tropes vs Games videos. He does have a blind like argument, as he just counters but doesn't offer very many solutions.

The United States Department of Homeland Security on Thursday announced a temporary ban on all toothpaste on commercial airliners traveling to the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia after intelligence sources said terrorists may be plotting attacks on U.S. airliners using explosives hidden in toothpaste tubes.
The Transportation Security Administration ban comes one day after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a warning to all U.S. airlines traveling to Russia that terrorists may be plotting to attack commercial airliners with toothpaste tubes containing ingredients that could be used to construct a bomb aboard a plane.
"As always our security posture, which at all times includes a number of measures both seen and unseen, will continue to respond and appropriately adapt to protect the American people from an ever evolving threat picture," a DHS official said. "These measures include intelligence gathering and analysis, deployment of cutting edge technology, random canine team searches at airports, federal air marshals, federal flight deck officers, temporarily restricting certain items and more security measures both visible and invisible to the public."
Thursday's Department of Homeland Security advisory regarding flights between the United States and the Russian Federation posted on Delta Airlines website states:
"The U.S. Transportation Security Administration has directed that no liquids, gels, aerosols and powders of any size be permitted onboard flights between the United States and the Russian Federation in any passenger cabin of service. These items may be placed in customers' checked baggage. Prescription medications will be allowed.
Additionally, customers traveling between the U.S. and the Russian Federation will need to personally check in with a Delta representative at the airport. Online, mobile and kiosk check-in will be unavailable. Delta encourages customers traveling to and from Russia to arrive at the airport at least two hours in advance of departure time."
Delta Airlines policy before Thursday's temporary ban allowed liquid personal-care items stored in a makeup bag including mouthwash, toothpaste, perfume, cologne and hair care products if in a 3.4 oz. or smaller container without exceeding a total of 32 oz. Larger items, routinely must be placed in checked baggage.
Russian aviation officials have already banned liquids in carry-on bags on domestic flights. However, several journalists traveling to the Sochi Games have reported no problem getting toothpaste tubes through airport security in Sochi, Russia.
International security experts have voiced concerns over the location of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia which borders a "war zone."
Russian authorities insist they have taken every precautionary security measure to secure the safety of all athletes and spectators.
Worldwide, public safety at such large sporting events is impossible to guarantee in the best of situations.
The 2014 Winter Olympics site is located in an area on heightened security alert because of credible threats to attack the Sochi Games. Islamist extremist groups have previously detonated hidden bombs at sporting arenas including one under a stadium grandstand in Grozny in 2004.
U.S. officials say they are monitoring several potential threats in Russia. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials insist there is no specific threat to the homeland.

Repentance | Luke 22:60-62
Luke 22:60-62
Peter replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.
There was a chill in the night air, so Peter joined a crowd around an open fire to warm himself. His mind was swirling with the events of the day. Jesus was arrested. The disciples had scattered. A trial was hurriedly organized. Now, Jesus was inside a building being questioned by men intent on putting him to death. But Peter's thoughts were interrupted when a person looked at him and said, "Certainly this man was with Jesus." Peter said, "Man, I don't even know what you're talking about!"
As the third denial escaped Peter's lips, Jesus was brought from the building. The Lord "turned and looked straight at" him. At that moment, Peter remembered his bold profession that even if all the other disciples fled, he would go to prison or death with Jesus. He broke down and wept bitterly.
All of us can relate to Peter, can't we? We have remained silent as others use his name as slang. We have remained silent as his claims have been laughed at. We have even joined in the laughter as his person is satirized. We have ignored his word by open rebellion. We have followed Peter in our own denials. But have we joined him in remorse and repentance?
Lord Jesus, forgive us for denying you in front of family and friends. Give us the courage to stand for you, even if we have to stand alone. Amen.

Winners in Google Buzz Suit: ACLU and YMCA, Not Privacy Group
The likely winners of money in a privacy lawsuit related to Google Buzz include groups ranging from the American Civil Liberties Union to the YMCA of Greater Long Beach — but not the organization that actually brought the matter to the attention of the Federal Trade Commission.
Back in September, Google agreed to pay $8.5 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging that the Buzz social-networking service violated users' privacy. This week, lawyers in the case agreed to a list of 12 organizations that would divvy up that money.
Most prominent on the list are the ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, both of which will get $1 million, as well as the University of California at Berkeley, which will get $900,000 divided among two of its technology-law projects. The Long Beach YMCA will get $500,000 to educate young people about privacy, and a small group called Youth Radio will get $50,000 for similar work.
But some major privacy groups didn't make the cut, and they and several of the plaintiffs have filed objections asking the court to take another look. Among them: the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which submitted a complaint about Google Buzz to the FTC in February. The complaint alleged that Google was violating users' privacy by automatically exposing their email contacts when it launched its social-networking service.
As part of the FTC investigation that stemmed from EPIC's complaint, Google this week agreed to a consent decree that requires it to submit to privacy audits for the next 20 years, among other things.
The lawsuit, which was filed in March, made similar allegations of privacy violations. The September settlement called for about $2 million to go to plaintiffs' attorneys and the rest to go to organizations focused on Internet privacy or privacy education. The settlement agreement said Google and the attorneys should "mutually agree" on recipients of the money.
In its objection, EPIC says the attorneys in the lawsuit relied on the organization's work but then excluded it from getting any settlement award money. "There has never been, nor is there likely to be" an applicant "who is more deserving of an allocation from a settlement fund," the organization wrote in its filing.
Google declined to comment on the matter. EPIC did not respond to requests for comment on its complaint. One of the attorneys in the class-action suit said they would file a response to the court next week.
Those who are objecting also point out that half the groups getting money in the settlement already are partially funded by Google. One of the recipients, the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, "receives so much money from Google that it has actually agreed to refrain from all litigation involving Google," three plaintiffs write in their objection, pointing to the Stanford center's own online documentation.
These issues raise "red flags," the objectors say, suggesting that Google sought to keep money from certain privacy groups it found problematic and funnel money to other organizations.
"EPIC did the hard legal work which led to the investigation," said Jeffrey Chester, director of the Center for Digital Democracy, another group seeking funds from the court. During negotiations this fall on the settlement, he says, "Google was aware it was in the final stages of having to swallow an elaborate and far-reaching" FTC ruling brought on by EPIC. "Why would you want critics to get funding?"
