I first want to apologize for being a bit MIA lately. All of a sudden I got crazy busy at the job that pays me. Add in some planned travel, unplanned travel, the city catching on fire, August being one of the most difficult months for a lot of people and TA DA! No blogging for me.
But today I am completely unmotivated to do yard or house work, so firing this baby up!
I was asked a few weeks back by a friend if I thought a blog post about friendship and business would be something I would want to talk about. I thought it was a fantastic idea, one I have touched on briefly before but haven't really gone in-depth.
So here we go.
Now there IS a difference between "being friends" with someone and "being friendly friends." I'm friendly friends with a whole lot of people. Social media has certainly expanded that list. Every year, I meet more and more people in comics and publishing. So the friendly circle continues to grow, as does the good friend circle.
The difference for me only involves a couple of points that really all revolve around a level of trust. To me a "friend" is someone you would help no matter what, someone to share the things you can't talk about in public, someone you could call on for honest advice, someone who would stand by you and help you in your darkest, lowest place. And someone who grounds you when you're at your highest.
That all being said, I can honestly say except for maybe two people in my life and my family, all of my really good friends I met through doing business of some sort.
Some of them I met, became friends and then ended up working with. Some of them I worked with, then ended up becoming friends.
Sometimes my Director of Photography, who I haven't gotten to see very much lately, calls me just to check in and chat. We talk about his kids, wife, film equipment, funny things that happened to us lately and tons more. I often talk to one of my closest friends about the state of the comics and publishing industry along with possible solutions, for hours, cause we both know all the players, the in's and out's of the publishing business, etc… I love those conversations.
My BEST friend is also my business parter, as well as my husband. We tackle everything we do as a team. Working each problem and celebrating each victory, together.
I would do anything for these guys. Yes, ANYTHING. And in turn, I know they will always be there for me when I need them. I love all of them and am very glad and proud to call all of them my very good friends.
(It does explain why I am a con junkie. CON= GET TO SEE MY FRIENDS) Anyway.
I've come to realize that without friends, Chris and I would've never gotten to the place we are in our lives professionally. And because we were willing to open ourselves up to accepting help from friends, we've become strong advocates of helping other friends pursue THEIR endeavours.
Which I think is really cool, personally.
There is nothing I love more than making introductions, making all my friends, friends with each other. If that is beneficial professionally for them both, all the better.
Listen, we have been royally screwed by people we thought were good friends. That's what happens when you put yourself out there. Did it completely suck? Absolutely. But in the end all crappy stuff in life is just a lesson you need to learn. And without those experiences, we wouldn't be the people we are today.
I also became friends with a debt attorney in AZ. So there's a silver lining. (sometimes you have to dig deep for those linings)
If you let the few bad eggs spoil the whole lot, well, you don't have any eggs. People can suck. It happens. Move on.
Now not everyone is going to be "your people." Sometimes it just doesn't jive. You don't have to be best buds with everyone. But if you make an effort from the get go, everybody wins.
This has always been my philosophy. Comes in real handy when things start going wrong and is awesome when things go right.
Who wouldn't want to be friends with the coolest most talented people on the planet?

Publish and Revert all files associated with a ticket
Development is taking place under an older version of Trac, 0.9.4. Once operational on 0.9.4 we will make it work with the latest versions of Trac.
This plugin in used in conjunction with subversion post-commit hook to associate subversion revision numbers with tickets. It also allows for easy publishing of the files associated with a ticket to a production environment as well as reverting those changes. This plugin is intended to connect the development process enabled by Trac to the publication of those changes to a production environment.
Bugs/Feature Requests
Existing bugs and feature requests for PublishRevertPlugin are here.
If you have any issues, create a new ticket.
Download the zipped source from [download:publishrevertplugin here].
You can check out PublishRevertPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.
Developers working on a ticket will commit their changes to subversion and reference the ticket in their subversion comments. The subversion post-commit hook associates the changesets with the referenced ticket. The normal ticket view is enhanced by adding a listing all the revisions that the developers have committed related to the ticket. Clicking on 'All' in the ticket view will take you to a complete listing of every file in every changeset and list for each file the latest revision number that modified the file. This page looks similar to the changeset view except that it is a set of changesets. At the top of this view there will be a publish and revert button which will perform an svn update on each of the files in the set of changesets. This will be done on in a production environment to update the modified files to the specific revision numbers listed for the ticket.

Sighting Details
I just got home from work and turned on the radio. Now Radio Station (102.3 FM) announced that a fireball was observed flying north to south over Edmonton and it was still visible in the south sky. I looked outside and sure enough I could see it. It was getting dark, it was between 4:30 PM and 5:00PM, the sky was overcast and no stars were visible. But this object was clearly visible, beaming bright and appeared to be sitting over Leduc, a community to the south of Edmonton, Alberta. Being a former Mufon investigator, I grabbed my camcorder and took a few pictures and a short video. I did not have time to set up my telescope and night visio equipment. Definitely looked like an et vehicle. It was moving a bit when I first saw it but then stayed stationary.

She may be small in stature, but Snooki sure dreams big. This week news hit that the Jersey Shore standout is also finding success in the footwear industry, proving that she knows how to branch out.
First it was writing ridiculous Jersey Shore based fiction, then it was slippers. Now we are learning that Snooki's next project will be to launch a flip-flop line. But the line won't simply be cheap beach shoes, she is also designing wedges and other shoes as well.
All of her hijinks make her seem like a younger, more laid back version of Bethenny of the Real Housewives of NY. Both are reality stars, both are lovable, and again, both have entrepreneurial spunk.
Somewhere the schmuck who punched her in Jersey is feeling even schmuckier.
Get the rest of the story over at Bumpshack.
While you're here, check out some weekly hot links:
Ah, the celebrity herpes mystery. I guess it will never be solved – Celebrity Smack!
LeAnn Rimes' extra fifteen minutes continues… Amy Grindhouse.
Whoa. Amy Winehouse is hitting rock bottom – AGAIN! Hollywood Hiccups.
How is Mariah different now that she is a momma? – Celebrity Baby Laundry.
Shia LaBeouf looks might rough in these pics – Celebuzz.
YES! Weird Al is doing a Lady Gaga remake! – PopEater.
Britney's new video is taking on a familiar foe – Too Fab.
Sadly, the fatal accident wasn't the only time Ryan Dunn has driven drunk – RadarOnline.
…now back to the story. I will be the first to admit that I found the Jersey Shore kids completely revolting at first. Sure, it was the horrifying video of Snooki being punched that forced me to revisit the show, but now I am hooked. They are a lot more like the average twenty-something kids than most people realize. I love them because they are shameless.
I'm just glad at least one of them realizes this road won't go on forever. You go Snooki.

Chauvin's flank will soon see more protection.
The Terrebonne Parish Council has approved a contract to begin construction on 4.5 miles of levees that will protect the community from floodwaters traveling through Lake Boudreaux.
Parish President Michel Claudet says the project involves building levees where none exist from the east Houma surge levees along Thompson Road down about three quarters of a mile parallel to La. 56.
Claudet tells The Courier future phases will put 10-foot levees along the entire side of Lake Boudreaux to the Morganza-to-the-Gulf levees.
He says the goal is to use the lake as a giant bathtub to store surge in the event the Morganza levees are topped.

Akshay's Joker collection worse than RR at Overseas Box Office
Trade expert Taran Adarsh was shocked to see the first day collection figures of this much-hyped film. He tweeted, "#Joker Friday numbers are poor in India and international markets. Amongst @akshaykumar's lowest openers. " He added, "#RowdyRathore was an underperformer in Overseas. #Joker is much much lower than even #RowdyRathore. Just imagine!"
Joker has collected Rs 985,890 (A$ 17,201) from its screening in Australia in two days (Thu A$ 4,317, Fri A$ 12,884). The movie has raked in Rs 346,915 (NZ$ 7,783) from its screening in New Zealand in two days (Thu NZ$ 1,480, Fri NZ$ 6,303). The film has grossed Rs 2,683,197 £ 30,460 at the UK Box Office. It has also done extremely poor business at the USA and UAE collection centres.
However, Rowdy Rathore starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in leads, was a very low opener at the foreign collection centres. It had raked in Rs 2+ crores at the international Box Office on the first day. Now, Joker has received worst response and its first day collection is less than Rs 1.5 crore. The movie has tanked in both India and international market.

Sean runs the Little Rock Marathon every year in memory of Evan. The marathon was being ran when we were at Children's with Evan so Sean decided that was how he wanted to honor Evan's memory. It has become something the whole family looks forward to each year. We have our spots to cheer all figured out, although I think we are going to try to hit a few more spots next year!

CANNON BEACH, OREGON Pacific Northwest painter and sculptor Michael Tieman has completed his next two sculptures in his Hands of the Artists collection; The Weaver , and The Wine Thief. Tieman will unveil these two new pieces on Saturday at 1:15pm at Haystack Gallery in Cannon Beach , thus completing the first six sculptures in the Hands of the Artists collection which also includes; The Glassblower , The Stone Sculptor , The Painter , and The Poet .
The Hands of the Artists collection is unique in that is a collaborative creation by two artists, each producing a one-of-a-kind single piece of sculpture. says Tieman. I sculpt the figure of an artist at the moment of creation, and cast that figure in bronze. Another artist chosen for the piece then creates an original second art piece which is the completed creation.
The series has proved popular and the interest has been high as people have started to experience the scope, uniqueness and fun of the collection, says Tieman. It is a joy to spend time with people explaining not only the background and creation story of the first six, but also about the other pieces in the collection. In the beginning I had six in the collection, after talking to people who have seen the Artists I now have fifteen. The collection has taken on a life of its own, and that makes it fun.
The Weaver NEW
The fifth artist and one of the newest in the Hands of the Artist collection is The Weaver. This piece captures the beauty of the weavings of Mayan women using a traditional back strap loom. The back strap loom, invented by the ancient Mayans was once used throughout Southwestern U.S. , Mexico and South America but is now used only in a few rural areas of Guatemala . The back strap loom has a rope at one end so it can be tied to a post or tree and has a strap at the other end that is placed around the woman's waist as she sits on the ground and weaves. Weaving on a back strap loom is tedious work and individual pieces may take up to several months. The uniqueness of this sculpture is that the loom is an actual working back strap loom with a weaving started and made by Guatemalan artists to the same scale as my sculpture. Each of the ten in the limited edition of The Weaver will have a one-of-a kind, hand-made loom with a weaving started on it and included will also be a full size runner weaving from the weavers in one of the small towns in Guatemala.
The Wine Thief NEW
My sixth artist in the Hands of the Artist collection is The Wine Thief. Here I have captured the master artist, the winemaker at work. Part of the art of this master is determining when the wine is right. Through the use of the Wine Thief pipette the master tests the wine from the barrels. This sculpture includes a vine which wraps around the artist, thus we have the beginning and the end of the wine making art. Part of this piece is a bottle of fine wine from a select vineyard in the Pacific Northwest for your wine cellar.
About the Hands of the Artists collection
Each year I will release several sculptures in the Hands of the Artists collection and each sculpture will be released in a limited edition of ten. The Hands of the Artists collection includes: The Glassblower, The Stone Sculptor, The Painter, and The Poet, The Weaver, The Photographer, The Potter Wheel, The Carver, The Potter Raku, The Jeweler, The Dancer, The Clay Sculptor, The Musician, The Wine Thief and The Blacksmith.
The Glassblower
The first sculpture in the collection is The Glassblower. I watched Suzanne Kindland, a local glassblower work, and discussed with her the glassblowing process. I then sculpted the figure of an artist blowing glass, at that moment of creation, and when Suzanne saw the completed figure, she blew a special glass vase that the bronze glassblower figure sits on, the completed creation. This is also a very unique piece, in that it is a hard metal bronze figure looking as though she is balanced on a delicate hand blown glass vase, and in this case both pieces were born from fire.
The Stone Sculptor
My second artist in the Hands of the Artists collection is The Stone Sculptor. This one is very special to me because I did both sculpture pieces. My intent was to have a second artist, a stone sculptor, complete the stone piece, but as I was working on the clay of the artist figure, a couple who collect my work asked me to also do the stone carving for their piece. How can an artist refuse? It was quite an experience as I had never carved in stone before. I was always told each piece of stone has a creation in it waiting to be released, but in the beginning I could not see the image in the stone. When the clay artist figure was completed the creation in the stone was revealed. The stone in #1/10 turned out to be an abstract piece, a mirror image of the artist carving herself in the stone. The stone in #2/10 is an alabaster stone carved as a more traditional figure.
The Poet
The Poet is the third artist in the collection. The artist is teetering back on a high four legged stool, head cocked to the side with half used pencils stuck randomly in her hair. The scroll of paper she is writing on (actually cast in bronze) is wrapped around her and the chair then folds into a book sitting on the floor under the stool. The book is a hardcover book which contains the original poem written by The Poet. The poet is David Sweet, a successful Tacoma , Washington writer and poet. The uniqueness of this piece is continued in that I will carve into the scroll the opening stanza of each buyer's favorite poem, then I will cast it into bronze.
The Painter
The fourth artist in the Hands of the Artists collection is The Painter. This piece forever captures the excitement, passion, elegance and frenzy of a plein-air painter. Schlepping all of their supplies to sometimes remote locations, fighting the elements, the bugs and sometimes the wildlife, these painters have just a few precious hours to create their masterpiece before they lose the special light they came for. The bronze piece includes a bronze easel and the buyer of the piece can have Michael Tieman, Sean Conrad or Sally O'Neill paint an original painting that sits on the easel and looks like has been painted by the bronze artist.
About Michael Tieman
As Michael Tieman sees it, The role of an artist from the dawn of time has been as a visual storyteller. The stories my paintings and sculptures tell are ones of confidence, strength, passion, playful sophistication and the celebration of life.
Tieman has sketched and painted since childhood and has spent almost four decades as a working artist, both as a graphic designer and a fine artist. Following the encouragement of a friend and gallery owner, Michael recently expanded his talents into sculptures cast in bronze. Tieman's sculptures are unique in that they are a combination of traditional figurative sculpture and his Impressionistic painting style. I create my bronze sculpture as a three dimensional painting; texture is the impasto brushstroke, color is the play of light and shadows across the surfaces, and detail is the free style movement of the impressionist style. My ladies have a face with a chiseled jaw and high cheekbones, producing great shadows, and the athletic body and proud confidence of an Amazon warrior.

A few days before the 2007 federal election, several Liberal party members met in Penrith to carry out a dirty trick.
Led by Gary Clark, husband of retiring member for Lindsay Jackie Kelly, the group composed a bogus document claiming to be from "The Islamic Australia Foundation". The crudely-manufactured work, complete with misspellings and outdated logos, indicated extremist Islamic support for the Labor party.
As they attempted to distribute copies of the slur in suburban letterboxes, the hoaxers were photographed by members of the ALP who'd been tipped off from within the Liberal party. Media outrage, police charges and party expulsions followed. Then-Prime Minister John Howard, along with just about everybody from all sides of politics, slammed the dishonest tactic. "I have condemned it," said Howard. "I've dissociated myself from it. I think it's stupid, it's offensive, it's wrong, it's untrue."
Last week anti-coal activist Jonathan Moylan, who describes himself as a "Christian anarchist", attempted a similar stunt. He produced a press release claiming to be from the ANZ that announced the bank's withdrawal from funding a new coal mine. Contacted by journalists, Moylan presented himself as an ANZ representative.
Several media outlets, among them the Australian Financial Review, fell for the trick, which quickly led to Whitehaven Coal losing some $300 million in share value. Compared to the bungling Liberal gang of 2007, Moylan was rather more successful.
There's another significant difference between these otherwise similar incidents. Instead of being condemned for his lies, 24-year-old Moylan has become a hero to the Greens and many others on the left, who now endorse outright fraud as a legitimate political device.
Greens senator Lee Rhiannon took to Twitter one day after Moylan's scam: "Congrats to Jonathan Moylan, Frontline Action on Coal, for exposing ANZ investment in coalmines." Greens leader Christine Milne said that Moylan's lies were "part of a long and proud history of civil disobedience, potentially breaking the law, to highlight something wrong". Former Greens candidate Clive Hamilton swooned: "Often those who engage in civil disobedience are otherwise the most law-abiding citizens. They are those who have most regard for the social interest and the keenest understanding of the democratic process."
Ex-Greens leader Bob Brown topped them all. "History is full of this," wrote the great earthian, who is full of something himself. "Gandhi and Mandela went to jail. Martin Luther King was assassinated. Jesus Christ turned up at the businessmen's tables and look what happened to him. Anti-slavery campaigner John Brown's 'body lies mouldering in the grave' and suffragette Emily Davidson was killed when she ran in front of the horses at the 1913 Epsom Derby."
All it takes to become a modern Jesus/Gandhi/Mandela for the Greens is one fake press release. The martyr bar isn't set very high these days. Naturally, the ABC also leapt to Moylan's defence. Here's the opening paragraph from an ABC piece published last Thursday: "The activist who caused a $314 million temporary plunge in Whitehaven Coal's share price could face 10 years in jail, despite having no intention of personally profiting from his fake press release."
Note the concluding excuse-making sentence, which – as some web commentators observed – the ABC really ought to include in other reports. For example: "The arsonists who caused widespread destruction could face years in prison, despite having no intention of personally profiting from their fires." If lack of a profit motive mitigates against jail sentences, a great many rapists and murderers are currently imprisoned unjustly.
Fairfax, too, were hot for Moylan. "If letters pages and social media are any indication, there is widespread support for Moylan's hoax," wrote academic Katherine Wilson. "To charge him with a criminal offence would be utterly immoral."
So, now that we've all moved on from 2007 and are now accepting lies for political causes, I've been having some online fun myself by whipping up a few bogus Greens press releases. It's only fair, seeing as they so strongly endorse this kind of thing.
Creating these mock media statements is a simple matter of photoshopping new words into the Greens' media announcement website. So far they've called for a minute's silence in Parliament to honour the memory of "intergeneration intimacy pioneer" Dennis Ferguson, demanded that asylum seekers be billetted throughout western suburban bedrooms and sought an increase in abortions to provide NVHP ("non-viable human protein") fuel for sustainable, coal-free power generators.
Some readers have fallen for the fake media statements, which I guess shows just how many AFR journalists are out there. Of course, Greens supporters aren't impressed. "Wow. Disgraceful," wrote one Twitter identity. "My God," gasped another.
Get used to it, babies. The Greens have set this standard. It's just "part of a long and proud history of civil disobedience". And, to reassure the ABC, no profit is involved.
Have Your Say
We shouldn't be too hard on the kid. It's all for the public good - ask the founder of Wikileaks.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (03:15pm)
Mr Tim Blair,
From this day forth for at least 100 years your name will become historically linked to the word brilliant.
Quite so!
Mon 14 Jan 13 (03:25pm)
Mon 14 Jan 13 (11:06pm)
I believe the Mac dictionary should place Tim Blair after the word 'brilliant'. They updated misogyny didn't they?
Well dang my wallaby stew, who woulda thunk a planet saver would resort to dirty tricks.
He is worse than baiting a snare with schmackos.
Like hypnotisin' a chook.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (03:28pm)
As Midnight Oil said: "The time has come to say fair's fair." I think the time has come for the Greens as well. The warm fuzzy green faze daze is over. When the ALP distances itself from them, you know it is over. Reality is slowly being reinstated and the green magic spell is over
Mon 14 Jan 13 (03:31pm)
Beautiful Tim, well done.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (03:41pm)
Usual case of double standards, nothing to see here.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (03:52pm)
So glad I did what any professional and responsible non-aligned journalist would do - fact check, particularly Ferguson article.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (03:55pm)
I just hope idiots like Brown, Rhiannon, Milne, Hamilton et al keeping banging on about their new love child Moylan long enough for the average punter to realise how morally bankrupt, unethical and thoroughly detached from reality these socialist parasites actually are.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:02pm)
Assuming for a moment that the end just might justify the means. We have a probable end result from Moylan's little effort which could amount to nothing more than a little economic damage together with substantial loss of respect for some of our elected representatives.
On the other hand, with the end result now well known, the "Islamic Australia Foundation" nonsense (had they not been sprung) would most likely have saved this entire country from 4-5 years of regression - something which will take many years to rectify - if at all.
Which is the most important?
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:16pm)
Tue 15 Jan 13 (10:02am)
If pain has not been felt by those in the electorate that do not watch what politicians are up to, then we will be doomed to repeat the Labor experiment again and sooner. Just take a look see at Victoria. Now an honest press may take same pains to point out that the Vic government is broke and is trying to get some cash in, so that they may indulge in major projects. No the supposed newspaper the Herald Sun just plays the same old left wing game that we hear from everyone else. You could be forgiven if you thought the pain from the desal plant etc was now past and we can just move on. What sort of morons do the media hire?
I would have received a different response from the luvvies if Moylan had done the same thing to say a solar panel or wind turbine manufacturer, I'm sure.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:21pm)
Mon 14 Jan 13 (05:15pm)
A blogger in one of the earlier articles Tim alluded to noted that the upcoming 'carbon credits exchange' is just begging for some Moylan-style market manipulation!
And when the Greens sook, and they surely will, watch for all the new laws flying out of Roxon's office to stop such nastiness to Labor's bestest friends.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:24pm)
We most definitely know that the Labor and the Green things love the truth, not. I cannot wait for the run up to the election and see how this pit of political snakes counter this and other monumental acts of mendacity.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:34pm)
Having clearly established the principle that a outright lie told in support of what the Greens see as "the national interest" is perfectly acceptable, how confident can voters now be that Green politicians will follow their advertised programs.
What they say they will do might just be an expedient lie to get your vote, and then dump the advertised program for what they really believe is in "the national interest." It's the same principle that they've just established, so why not?
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:40pm)
Tue 15 Jan 13 (09:06am)
I believe the expression is "taqiyya".
Yes. We were much better off in John Howard's day. We were not morally bankrupt. We were not led by a conglomeration of liars, cheats and fraudsters. We were also financially as well as spiritually better off then too. I hold great hope that our moral well being will be righted by Tony Abbott as PM, however it is going to be a long hard slog before the damage to our nation's economy can be put right. I don't expect that to be fixed for several decades.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:42pm)
Mon 14 Jan 13 (05:22pm)
You saw the above bit about the LIBERAL PARTY didn't you?
Mon 14 Jan 13 (06:09pm)
This appears to be some kind of interpretive dance representing the state of people's super accounts and life savings in Whitehaven Coal following last week's hoax.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (06:09pm)
'You saw the above bit about the LIBERAL PARTY...'
Yes Strawman, but the adults kicked the miscreants out of the party, charges were laid and a marriage destroyed.
The adults did not applaud that action in any way.
Please try to keep up in future
Mon 14 Jan 13 (06:18pm)
I assuming he did, Skibum, but you obviously didn't. The point was the Liberals kicked them out, whereas your crowd thinks people like that are heroes.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (06:27pm)
Ski you missed the bit where Howard condemned the actions of those Liberal members involved, he did not applaud like the Greens and ALP figure heads have. You are wide of the mark with your comment!
Mon 14 Jan 13 (06:56pm)
Yeah, we saw that. But the Liberal scare had some basis in reality.
Tue 15 Jan 13 (02:08pm)
Skiman, you mean the bit where Labor party members photographed them after receiving a tip off from LIBERAL PARTY MEMBERS, yes I saw that bit.
The worst part is, after having heard and read some of the banal ideas produced by these geniuses, these press releases sound pretty legit!
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:50pm)
What about all the dirty tricks pulled by Labor: No children overboard but children in the water, global warming when the temperature had decreased, stolen generation when none were identified and that's just some. Labor and the media have no principles, never leave a lie untold or smear unspread.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:51pm)
How do you spell 'hypocrite'?
Try Labor, or Green, or Socialist, or Communist, or Milne, or Gillard, or Brown...sigh...Then there's the three amigos, who voted for a stable government...argh!
On a brighter note, we see that the MRRTax has come up with the fabulouse sum of...hold yer breath! $0, again!
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:54pm)
A Greens supporter on Twitter saying "My God!". Whoa, Nelly! Did he/she/it really said that? What's the world going into? If it was "My Gaia!" it would've been believable. You're slipping a bit, Timmy!
Mon 14 Jan 13 (04:55pm)
Mon 14 Jan 13 (08:24pm)
Like it.
Like it a lot!
anti-coal activist Jonathan Moylan, who describes himself as a "Christian anarchist",
Ask Mr Moylan what Jesus would call his deceitful actions. If he doesn't come straight back with the word "sin" then Mr Moylan is no Christian.
Lies are never justified by calling yourself "Christian". Christ said that they will know who you are by what you produce.
Mon 14 Jan 13 (05:01pm)
Tue 15 Jan 13 (08:18am)
Yes, one more insult of Christ, but just one more lie amongst many produced by the green fabrication machine. Those unburdened by their conscience seem to think this is okay.
Be on the look out then for Swan to give us an update on the budget shortly since today the figures are out.
Inflation UP, jobs ads DOWN, housing finance DOWN, Bluescope Steel, recipient of Gillard's handing out of OUR MONEY sacking 170 workers, the mining tax still delivering ZERO dollars but costing a fortune to implement.
Thing is, I simply cannot understand why anyone thought second quarter returns for the mining tax would be anything other than zero. It's an annual tax paid quarterly. If your liability is such that a quarter of it is zero, guess how much the other three quarters are going to be?

The following is a guest post from my teaching partner Ray Swinarchin. A big thank you to him for putting our thoughts together on technology and PD.
Effective professional development enables educators to develop the knowledge and skills they need to address students' learning challenges.
In the past, Professional Development required individuals to sign up for a workshop from a list of available topics. The problem with this is that the workshops that may be offered may not fit with the individual learners' needs. A second scenario that could occur is for administrators to dictate to staff what PD they should attend. Again, this may result in individuals attending workshops that are not of interest to them or it may not fill a learning need. Technology has changed the way individuals can access professional development. I think the largest changes in professional development has become the focus on the teacher's individual needs and they way teachers can access professional development through Professional Learning Networks (PLNs) and the use Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
Ways Technology Has Changed Professional Development
Individuals are teaching each other on their one time.
brings together a number of individuals with similar goals
co-learning – as everyone brings in their own expertise
develops future leaders/experts as knowledge is gained
Individuals are sharing knowledge.
resources and ideas are readily available
offers a support group
reduces the feeling of isolation some teacher may feel within their school community
Individuals can personalize PD through the use of tools such as Twitter.
brings many experts to one table
collaborative discussions allow deeper understanding
exposes individuals to a greater diversity of thought
Individuals have access to PD anywhere anytime.
allows for self paced learning
can be accessed on a variety of mobile devices
allows for flexibility in time without the need to worry about a meeting place
The change in Professional Development mirrors how 21st Century Teachers are changing their role within the classroom. The teacher is no longer the giver of information but should be a facilitator who is their to guide students to achieve their goals. In the case of Professional Development, technology allows many individuals to come together and co-learn. Professional Development is about each individuals needs. Technology allows each individual to find or create a learning community to fit his or her needs.
It would be interesting to know if you have signed up or considered a MOOC course. Please share some pros and cons of MOOCS.
The following MOOC List is specific to teaching on a variety of topics.

Apple MacBook Pro (15-Inch, Fall 2011 Version) Review and Ratings
Our Verdict: With this fall 2011 update, Apple's middle-child MacBook Pro gets a slightly faster processor and more graphics muscle, keeping its performance well ahead of the competition. It's a minor update from the previous version, making the need to upgrade questionable, but it's a fine power pick for users of generations-old Macs. Read More…
- What We Liked…
- Awesome performance
- Excellent battery life
- Multi-touch gestures on touch pad work flawlessly with OS
- What We Didn't…
- Only a minor upgrade from previous version
- Still lacks a Blu-ray drive and an HDMI port
- Battery is not user-replaceable
Apple MacBook Pro (15-Inch, Fall 2011 Version) Review
By November 16, 2011reviewed
Table of Contents
On the heels of the hugely hyped release of the Apple iPhone 4S, it's hard to imagine Apple releasing anything on the QT. (And by that, we don't mean "QuickTime.") So imagine our surprise to learn that Apple ever-so-quietly rolled out a refresh of its MacBook Pro line. There was no official announcement, and few rumors and speculation preceded the release, which is all but unprecedented for a new Apple product. Sure, Apple just refreshed the MacBook Pro earlier this year, and its signature laptop has never generated the mass hype that the iPhone and iPad have. But for a company whose every whisper is analyzed by Apple fanatics the world over, we're surprised at how low-key this refresh rolled out.
That said, the latest MacBook Pro isn't a landmark revamp of the line, by any means. All told, the understated improvements match the understated announcement. The 13-inch version of the machine simply got a slightly faster processor than the early-2011 13-inch MacBook Pro had, jumping from a 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 to a 2.4GHz one. (Both are dual-core chips.)
The $1,799 15-inch base model, which we reviewed here, gets a slightly more impressive bump. This MacBook goes from a 2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor to a 2.2GHz quad-core Core i7, and it gets an excellent improvement in graphics, from a single AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics chip to a switchable-graphics arrangement. The late-2011 model is powered by both the Intel HD Graphics 3000 circuitry that's built into the processor chip and separate AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics, backed by 512MB of onboard video memory.
Our test unit also had a 500GB hard drive. In sum, the base-model 15-inch MacBook Pro now has most of the components that were previously found in the top-level 15-inch MacBook Pro—and for $400 less. The new, higher-end $2,199 15-inch model, as well as the 17-inch MacBook Pro, also get speedier processors, better graphics, and larger hard drives than their previous iterations, without price increases. But before we go in to more detail about the inside of the new MacBook, let's talk about the outside.

Hansen Q & A
Denmark's not known for hockey but 20-year-old Jannik Hansen is determined to buck the stereotype.
What has been the biggest surprise of your first NHL training camp?
How have you liked camp so far?
I've enjoyed it a lot, you enjoy everyday you get to stay here. And when we're so close to the season everyday is a treat to me. Just trying to enjoy it fully.
Who was your roommate in Vernon?
Brendan Morrison.
What kind of roommate is he?
He's a very nice guy, like I said earlier, they're all nice people. They don't look down on you. It was nice.
Did he impose any rookie rules on you like packing his bags or setting the wake-up call?
No, not at all.
Finish the sentence: I've learned a lot from…?
Of course the Swedes - Sedins and Naslund. We have some things in common. Trevor Linden as well, I've talked to him a little bit too.
Isn't there a lot of rivalry between the Swedes and the Danes?
Yeah, there are a lot of wars going on in sports between the two countries, like soccer and handball, but we're getting there.
Have you gotten on the Coach's bad side at all yet?
No, not yet.
What's been your most embarrassing moment throughout the camp?
There hasn't really been any yet (pause). I hope none will come.
Have your friends and family had a chance to come visit you or see you play here?
No not yet, but they were here last year when I played in Portland.
Do you think they will later on?
I don't know yet, it's a long way so they might plan a trip here.
Do you still keep in touch with all the people back home?
Yeah I keep in touch over e-mail
Do you have any siblings?
I have an older sister. She's a travel agent.
What's been the best thing you've done on you're day off?
We haven't had many days off so we've just kind of been sitting at the hotel. But we had a chance to have a look down Robson street.
Did anyone recognize you?
No, not here but when I'm back home they do - there's more people that know who you are. Towns are not that big so when you play hockey, people around hockey know who you are.
If not hockey… then…?
What would you want to do outside of sports?
I would be in the construction business because my dad does that and I started that after school.
What was your best subject in high school?
I didn't really have a strong side in school, I was just trying to get by.
Was there anybody you played with that surprised you?
Of course, but when you're out there, you've just got to get over who you're playing against.
Did anybody give you a hard time out there?
No, not really.
What was your 'welcome to the NHL' moment?
In San Jose, when I stood out there for the first time and when they dropped the puck for the face-off, I was kind of surprised.

Your tips are as appreciated as Bryan LaHair. WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THAT.
- The 10 worst moments in baseball history surprisingly don't include the Cubs in any way. (HT: level5) Unless you include Sammy Sosa. Also, holy shit, I had no idea that's what happened to Christy Mathewson.
- Ryan Theriot's "incredible baserunning ability" makes me wonder why the Cubs ever let him slip away. (HT: Jim)
- I hate everything about the Bleed Cubbie Blue, but I'm linking this just so everyone knows what a rabbit-eared dipshit Al Yellon is (skip right to the comments so you don't go braindead from his "article" writing style). If you wonder why Dolan loathes him so much, it's because he's an arrogant, self-important, no-nothing know-it-all. Al is. Not Dolan. Usually.
- This guy wrote the Prankster's Bible.
- Lincoln had the worst bodyguard since- Oh, I don't know. Let's just say Kevin Costner.

Off-duty officer shoots, kills stabbing suspect near Dallas police headquarters
Updated at 3:10 p.m.:
Police have identified the deceased suspect as Codi Ben Bullard, 26.
Bullard's Facebook page and a police report lists his home as Baytown. Police believe he may have been homeless. Bullard also appears to have once lived in Southern California.
The police report also states that Bullard was shot "multiple times."
The stabbing victim's condition remains unknown, though he apparently required surgery, police said.
Original post:
An off-duty Dallas officer intervened in a stabbing this morning and shot the suspect dead a block from police headquarters.
The officer-involved shooting was reported about 9:30 a.m. in the 1200 block of South Lamar Street, near South Side on Lamar and Gilley's nightclub.
The female officer, Sgt. Jackie Moore, was walking to work when she noticed an argument across the street at Wells Wrecking, Maj. Jeff Cotner said. Employees there say a suspicious man was trespassing inside the demolition company's fenced-in lot and pulled a knife when they tried to escort him out.
The suspect wounded a male employee, and a female employee screamed for help and called 911. Moore, a 15-year veteran, pulled her weapon and shot the suspect, who died at the scene.
The wounded man was taken to Baylor University Medical Center in unknown condition. Police are hopeful he will recover.
"We're very optimistic about that," Cotner said. "Once he recovers, we'll be able to talk to him and get a better understanding."
Six blocks of Lamar Boulevard just south of downtown was shut down in both directions after the shooting.

Over the past 30 plus hours, over 240 earthquakes have left the area of Brawley California shaken. The quakes, which began last Saturday evening, have been averaging eight quakes an hour, but many quakes have occurred within only a few minutes of each other.
The 2010 United States Census reported that Brawley had a population of 24,953 and is located in Imperial County.
The area is no stranger to earthquakes, but the latest quakes have brought some damage. Capt. Jesse Zendejas of the Brawley Fire Department had stated that the earthquakes caused cosmetic damage to at least three buildings dating to the 1930s in downtown Brawley.
USGS Seismologist Rob Graves was quoted as saying "Obviously, all this activity is related or interconnected, but it doesn't really follow the typical main shock, aftershock activity"
Graves further stated that such earthquake storms are not unprecedented or unusual in that region. As recent as 2005, the area was shaken by hundreds of quakes, and in 1981, that swarm contained a magnitude 5.8 quake.
The residents of Brawley are feeling shook up as well. Alfonso Alvarez, who has a business renting "bounce houses" and other party supplies. Alvarez, said his family had felt 15 quakes over two and a half hours and, after the biggest one, had relocated to the front yard.
"It's been pretty bad. Some of them are slow and then they get intense," he said. "We're so anxious right now we can't sit still.
Seismologist Lucy Jones of the USGS said the current activity was not uncommon for the area, as the town lies within a region known as the "Brawley Seismic Zone" that sits between the San Andreas and Imperial faults.
"This is a classic Brawley Seismic Zone swarm," she said. "It's relatively hot."
Jones said they have never seen a Brawley swarm produce anything larger than a magnitude 5.8 quake.
"We've never seen a Brawley swarm followed by a big earthquake on another fault," she added, and that the current swarm could last for days.

After their 17th consecutive victory gave them a perfect month, the Los Angeles Clippers finally paused to admire their achievement.
"We got something extremely magical going on," said Caron Butler after the host Clippers beat the Utah Jazz 107-96 on Sunday night to become the third team in NBA history to record a perfect month.
"When we win, we usually jump up and down once or twice," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "Tonight we let them jump and down three or four times, so everyone had their fill."
The Clippers went 16-0 in December to join the 1995-96 San Antonio Spurs, which included Del Negro, and 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers as the only teams to go undefeated in a month. Their franchise-record winning streak is the longest since Boston won 19 in a row four years ago.
"I am amazed because I haven't done it since I've been in the league," said seven-year veteran Chris Paul, whose 19 points and nine assists helped his team maintain the league's best record at 25-6.
Butler led the Clippers with 29 points despite not playing in the fourth quarter and made all six of his 3-pointers, including five in the opening period. Jamal Crawford scored 11 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter. Blake Griffin piled up five fouls and was held to seven points.
Al Jefferson scored 30 points to lead Utah, which fell victim for the third time during the Clippers' streak. The Jazz lost 116-114 on Friday when the Clippers rallied from 19 points down, and they were beaten 105-104 on Dec. 3, both times at home.
"We can't make any mistakes against them, especially on their home floor because they make you pay for it," Jefferson said.
The Warriors' next two game are against the Clippers, Wednesday night at home and Saturday in Los Angeles.
Kings 118, Celtics 96: Isaiah Thomas scored 27 points and made one of Sacramento's two four-point plays in the second half as the Kings handed Boston its third straight lopsided loss on a California road swing.
John Salmons added 23 points off the bench, Jason Thompson scored 20, and DeMarcus Cousins had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his first career triple-double for the Kings.
Spurs 111, Mavericks 86: Tony Parker had 21 points and nine assists, Manu Ginobili had several key baskets among his 20 points, and San Antonio handed host Dallas its sixth straight loss.
Dirk Nowitzki had eight points on 3-of-9 shooting a week after making a surprise return from knee surgery in a 38-point loss to the Spurs in San Antonio.
"He's not Dirk Nowitzki, basically, one of the greatest players that's ever played, so it's going to take time for him," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "It's very, very difficult when you have a guy like that out, and then he comes back."
The Spurs led all the way, with Tim Duncan helping a 20-6 start by hitting several jump shots. He finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks.
O.J. Mayo, Dallas' leading scorer, was held under 10 points for the fourth time in five games.
Pistons 96, Bucks 94: Tayshaun Prince made two free throws with 10.9 seconds left to give host Detroit a victory over Milwaukee after the Pistons blew a 14-point lead. Monta Ellis had 30 points and nine assists for the Bucks.
Lakers: Antawn Jamison was angry after spending a fifth consecutive game at the end of the Lakers' bench. He was less irritated after thinking about it for a couple of days.
"I'm kind of disappointed in myself that I kind of expressed my frustration the way I did, but I'm human," Jamison said Sunday.
Jamison, 36, said he would not seek a trade from the team that signed him to a one-year, $1.4 million contract last summer.
Rockets: First-round pick Royce White has refused his assignment to Houston's D-League affiliate, yet another setback to his return to the court.
White, the 16th overall pick in the June draft, has spent most of the season on Houston's inactive list while he and the team figure out how to handle his anxiety disorder and overall mental health.
The Los Angeles Times contributed to this report.

FOr some reason I picked up ground lamb and it's in my freezer and needs to be used. What should I do with it? I have never made ground lamb before. I researched a little, but I don't care much for mint or cinnamon with meat.

Michelle, type in lamb kebabs to die for . This was originally posted by Ralph and they are excellent, excellent, excellent! We have made these numerous times sometimes as kebabs or burgers. The aroma while they are cooking is wonderful; it is like being at a street festival. I serve them with tzaziki sauce, Greek salad and this wonderful orzo with 3 cheeses that I found on Epicurious.
This one, from CL April 2003, is really good too. BTW, CL's recipe finder retrieved 7 recipes when I typed in "lamb burgers", so you might want to look at the others as well.

I love lamb burgers, and the recipe posted by Clover looks great.
For one of our supper clubs the host made gyros using this recipe for the meat. They were great.
The instant we become an adult is the moment when the instinct to love is greater than the desire to be loved
I love Rachael Ray's 30 minute shepherds pie, which is made with ground lamb. Let me know if you would like the recipe posted.
Here's another good lamb burger option.

This new series examines a growing trend in food in America - highfalutin chefs hitting the road in food trucks, serving up delicious vittles out of a Good Humor-man style window. The show sends seven such trucks around the country, having them compete in various tasks and try to win some cash. Hosted by Tyler Florence, the series does nothing so much as make us want to get behind the wheel of a Z4 with a bowl of gazpacho in one hand and foie gras in the other. We're not sure how we'd eat the food or drive the roadster, but it sounds so good.

FA Cup
I think I remember Kane being a bit nifty (that's the technical term), and I'd start BAE at LB and move Bale to LW. I think for this game we're gonna have to go out all guns blazing, as SB (I think) was right by implication; our defence is our strongest asset at the moment, so we have to rely on them to be able to pick up any slack and go hell for leather.
... although now I'm disagreeing with myself... Pav & Crouch are both on form, and I think they'll be a pretty interesting pairing, I reckon they might just complement each other styles nicely. For me, the wings, especially the left, are going to be our key. Bale's only really played the last couple of months, so is still energetic compared to many, and BAE might be a bit short of match fitness, but he's also been out for 2 months so should be quite alert. He was doing really well pre-injury, they'll be the key to us succeeding. Follow some overlapping play from them with a neat ball to Crouch (NOT high), ready for him to feed Pav to have some fancy footwork and fine goals.
I'd also leave midfield quite fluid, give Modric a really roaming role but encourage him to utilise the right flank too.
In conclusion:
+ fast movement and holding the ball high up the pitch = muchos goalos and happy blondie.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Have you seen our line up? What did I tell ya?! Oooh yeah, blondie's on form... apart from my bet for Brum to win this avo... and the first scorer... ssh.
But have you seen our bench?? The only first choice sub (if that exists) is Defoe. That's a concern (not Defoe, the fact that he's the only first choice).

Basically, I have applied for deferred entry for Politics and Philosophy and have applied for AAB unis recieving offers from Manchester, York, Cardiff and Exeter (Allthough they have increased the offer to AAA). Allthough I am very happy with theses, there are other, AAA courses which I would love to have a go at reapplying in my gap year. However, I am predicted A* in English Lit, A in Politics and a B in physics. If I were to get theses grade or hopefully two A*'s do you think unis such as Durham, Bristol etc.. would seriously consider me if I reapply next year? I've also got 2 A's and a C in AS levels and am targeted an A* in EP too. I strongly doubt I can get an A in physics, and since a) It is ridiculously difficult and b) it is the least related subject to my proposed degree, would they take these factors into consideration?
Anyway, if anyone has any info on this, that would be great
Can A*A*B equate to 3 A's?

I'm sure you will be fine, two A*A*B is extremely competitive, and the universities will most likely understand your situation with Physics!
It varies from uni to uni and course to course, Nottingham specified AAA for Physics but when I got my offer they said either AAA or A*AB. I think because the subject you might get a B in isn't overly relevant to your course, they won't mind as much as if you got a B in English Lit for example.
Tbh I think you'll be fine, just try and get AAA+ and make things more straightforward!

Why I Joined—and Rejoined—the NAACP
Posted on June 26, 2012 by Manuel Davis, NAACP Member
I decided to become a member after the urging of Dean G. Stanley Hicks during my freshman year at Delaware's only HBCU, Delaware State. I was a biology major and had no real interest in social justice. Boy was I in for a "wow" moment.
I can recall Dean Hicks asking me if I planned to spend my entire life in a lab isolated from the real world just peering through a microscope. What about all the problems and injustices in the community he asked. This forced me to begin thinking beyond my own personal life and contemplating what I could do to serve others and advocate on behalf of the downtrodden. It was a deep, life changing moment, and I've been on the path to finding myself and my mission in this life every since.
Being a member means so much to me. When I was in college, it meant exploring our history and finding out where I fit into the world. We were young and care free. The college chapter was active and we enjoyed attending regionals and holding dances or other fundraisers while educating our peers about civil rights.
Life after college was quite different. When I left school, I also left the Association, and a decade later with the urging of my girlfriend and her mother both of whom were active members, I came back to the NAACP Family. This time it was with a sense of duty to keep alive the legacy of my former advisor who had since passed away. I knew I wanted to work with and nurture young people, the next generation of freedom fighters. The Youth & College Division was where I got my start and I was and still am committed to assisting young people who wish to answer the clarion call and carry the torch of freedom and equality in this day and age.
My most memorable experience? Wow! Well, there are several: The conversation with Dean Hicks about my joining the NAACP was one. Another was attending a regional conference and hearing civil rights icons like Dr. Hazel Dukes, Julian Bond, and President Benjamin Hooks speak. They inspired something deep within me, and I knew I was in the right organization. It was like a family on a mission. And our goals and mission were the same as they were a century when the NAACP was founded. I felt connected not only to Hooks, Dukes and Bond, but to Ovington, Wells, DuBois, Evers, and all the nameless, faceless freedom fighters who came before me!

PASCAGOULA, Miss. — Ingalls Shipbuilding has been awarded a $487 million contract to build a sixth national security cutter for the Coast Guard.
The vessel will be called the Munro (WMSL 755). Ingalls says construction will begin in October
A third cutter, Stratton (WMSL 752) was commissioned in 2012. Two more are currently under construction at Ingalls in Pascagoula.
Ingalls has delivered the first three of eight planned cutters. Bertholf (WMSL 750), Waesche (WMSL 751) and Stratton are in service.
The Legend-class ships are the Coast Guard's newest class of technologically advanced cutters. They are replacing Hamilton-class cutters built in the 1960s.
The new cutters can be used for a multitude of tasks, including drug interdiction, law enforcement, search and rescue, environmental protection and national defense missions.

In Galveston Ruins, More Bodies Recovered
Ben Casselman reporting from Galveston, Texas:
Emergency workers forged further into the west end of Galveston Island Sunday, finding more bodies and further destruction.
The official death toll in Galveston now stands at five, two more than earlier in the day. One body was found in a truck, but no more details were available, according to city spokeswoman Alicia Cahill.
Emergency workers also found 20 more buildings that had collapsed, mostly near 61st Street and Avenue L, a neighborhood that had been inaccessible due to flood waters until Sunday. It isn't known whether anyone was in the buildings when they collapsed.
Fire also continued to be a problem, with no water pressure available to fight fires. Another house burned Sunday, the 11th so far. The city has requested pump trucks to be able to fight any future fires. Police have also arrested seven people for looting.
With power and water not expected to be restored for weeks, about 2,500 residents evacuated the island on government-provided buses.
"The number kept going up and up," Ms. Cahill said.
Many other residents are holding out, however.
"We ain't left yet, we ain't leavin' now," said Jack Page, as he hopped in the back of a pickup truck to get food in one of the few stores in town that had managed to reopen.
Mr. Page and others will face a long recovery. The city is requesting generators to restore power to a handful of water pumping stations near the hospital, emergency command center and a few other key areas, but water in the rest of the city will have to wait until natural-gas service is restored. The airport runway has been cleared, but the hangars were destroyed and supply planes can't land until engineers check the structure of the runway.
Much of the west end of the island remains inaccessible due to debris in the road.
One of the many challenges facing Galveston authorities: animals. Dogs and cats are roaming the streets and the city's emergency hotline has been flooded with calls from evacuees worried about pets they left behind. About three dozen longhorn cattle survived the storm on the west end and were seen Sunday grazing on the grass of a median strip.
The city is setting up a temporary animal shelter, complete with mobile veterinary clinic, and is flying in vets from Colorado, Missouri and California, as well as allowing local vets to return to the island to help.

I work in a small high tech group at a R&D company. We are developing some interactive systems for a heads-up display, and I'm looking to get feedback on my design work. Basically our options right now are to publish to big academic conferences like CHI or UIST, or basically keep totally quiet. The problem is that our work is not JUST scientific or JUST academic, but also we have more visual and interactive design stuff that communities like CHI don't critique the same way that say a community on behance.net would criticize.
I have really had this day with a recruiter, going back and forth regarding work samples. I am relatively new to the UX field and I do not have the 5+ years of experience that so many job postings are requiring!
I only have a few deliverables that are not protected by a "non-disclosure agreement" or "not to be shown without specific written consent of <"blank">. I understand I won't make any headway with this recruiter, though I am perplexed at her attempt to even try to understand my deliervable's, since it has been clear they are very foreign to her!
