Our sense of smell is the antivirus software of the senses -- we don't pay much attention unless it's telling us about something bad.
Sure, we occasionally take the time to appreciate perfumes and flowers and the smell of chocolate-covered bacon, but unless there's dangerous gas or hidden corpses around, nose powers just don't seem all that important. It's not as if we can, like, smell buried treasure, or the location of the cellphone we left on silent.
But while you're ignoring it, the stuff your nose is doing in the background borders on freaking magic. After all, your sense of smell can ...
6Make You (Mildly) Psychic
Do you, or someone you know, feel like you have an "intuition" about people? Can you sense when they're scared, or attracted to you, even if they're doing everything they can to hide it? Well, there's a good chance your "intuition" comes from that thing on your face between your mouth and your eyes.
It's all about smell. Scientists found that women can smell when a man is horny -- the experiment was as simple as getting some men sexually aroused, collecting their sweat and having women smell it. The women's brains were being scanned by an MRI at the moment they smelled the sweat samples, and sure enough, the horny sweat made their brains light up.
This guy just made them vomit.
If you're a dude and reading that makes you feel anxious, there's more bad luck coming. Your date can probably also smell your fear, and so can the guy at the table next to you. This was discovered in another experiment that was conducted in a similar way. They collected sweat from people of both sexes as they watched either scary or funny movies. Women were able to successfully identify which was the fear-sweat and which was the "laughing at Rob Schneider" sweat. Men didn't do quite as well, but still were able to identify both male fear and female joy from bodily fluids alone.
But How?
It's caused by a class of chemical signals, unoriginally called chemosignals, that are found in human sweat, tears and possibly other fluids. The extent to which chemosignals affect humans in day-to-day life is still under debate: It's hard to measure this kind of thing accurately, because a lot of the time the influence of chemosignals is subconscious.
"Wait, why do I keep having flashes of gay pornography?"
That's what's so weird about it -- even though the MRI showed different parts of the women's brains working depending on which sweat they smelled, in every case the subjects claimed they couldn't tell the difference. Yet, when made to guess which was which (fear sweat vs. happy sweat, horny sweat vs. normal sweat), they were able to pick correctly (at least, at a rate better than chance). So it appears that a lot of what you just "sense" about people is nothing more than picking up chemicals in their fluids.
And make no mistake, these psychic nose-messages do affect us: Sweat collected from men about to go skydiving was shown to activate the "fear" sections in brains of people exposed to it. Women exposed to male fear-sweat also rated neutral faces as more "fearful" than when they were sniffing sweat unassociated with terror.
And psychotic faces to be more "murdery."
And get this -- the military is funding research into automated emotion detection systems that use chemosignals to detect suspiciously anxious people in public places. To picture the future, imagine a robot nose sticking into a human armpit, forever.
5Make You Spend More Money
It's no secret that the neighborhood BBQ joint is relying on the smell of cooking meat to get you in the door, and that millions of new cars are sold every year purely because of the spell their scent casts over us. But your nose can make you buy things in endless, less obvious ways. Retailers call it "environmental fragrancing," and it really is nothing less than an attempt to brainwash you through your nostrils.
"We sell a lot more HDTVs since management started piping in the smell of strippers and hot wings."
So, in the swimwear aisle, they'll give you a faint coconut smell. In the infant aisle, you'll smell baby powder. Big deal, right? Well, one experiment showed sales of men's and women's clothing nearly doubled when "masculine" and "feminine" scents were used nearby, an effect that disappeared when the smells were reversed.
"I dunno, man, I smelled potpourri and just blacked out."
Another study in a Las Vegas casino found that areas piped with pleasant smells made 45 percent more money than those without them, although that might have just been all the gamblers moving over to a location that best masked the smell of desperation and old people.
But How?
As you'll find is a running theme with this article, your nose works on a subconscious level in a way that your eyes and ears don't. It has to do with the way your brain is wired -- think of your sense of smell as being able to avoid the filters that your other senses go through when you process them.
We can smell your soul, Devil Clown.
If you see a bear in the woods, that sight goes through all sorts of pathways in your brain that handle things like logic and language. You actually think, in your head, "That's a bear. It's dangerous. What's that they say about bears? That you should play dead? Or is it like a shark, where you're supposed to punch it in the nose?"
But if you are in the wild and you merely smell a bear, or the cologne of a crazy ex-boyfriend, it's a more physical reaction -- you'll feel it before you think it. That signal goes directly to the limbic system, the primitive part of the brain generally associated with emotions. This is why we can see a painting and immediately describe it in words: it's "colorful" or "religious" or "Wait, did you steal this from the Louvre?" But give us the smell of an orange, and the extent of our description will be: "It smells like an orange."
Via Wikipedia
Napalm can smell like victory, but only before noon.
So, if consumers can hear a few notes and instantly think of a particular brand of cat food, imagine what hitting someone with a smell can do. And putting scent in the store is just the beginning -- a lot of brands are now developing their own "brand scent," which is then infused into stores and products. In the past, your new car might have had a new car smell because it was made out of new plastic, glass and leather. Today, it's just as likely to have been infused with a new, improved new car smell, like Cadillac has been putting in its vehicles for almost a decade.
And they're doing it with everything -- the rubber in the handle of your razor may also have been infused with a scent, which is presumably what they decided to start doing when they ran out of room to cram more blades in there.
"Honey, did you put my razor in your ass?"

Whenever someone is entrusted with a group's finances, there is a chance of theft. When that person has no oversight, the risk increases exponentially.
The case of a Dave Brobst, the former treasurer of the group that oversees the Franklin County Fair, highlights the need for organizations to ensure that financial matters are not completely controlled by one person — especially when there is public money involved.
State Auditor Dave Yost recently reported that former Franklin County Agricultural Society treasurer Dave Brobst took $211,000 from the society for his own use, although he eventually repaid the money within about four years.
Unfortunately, Brobst's is not an isolated case. Every year seems to bring news of an official with a government entity or nonprofit who has taken advantage of lax oversight to siphon off money.
In 2012, former Grove City payroll clerk Jacqueline Kincade was sent to prison for stealing nearly $68,000 in city money.
The embezzlement of more than $200,000 from Grove City Food Pantry several years ago prompted warnings to small nonprofit groups that seemingly decent people can be tempted by easy money and personal financial problems to steal from charities benefiting children and the poor.
Why does this keep happening?
It often comes down to too much trust and too little oversight.
With small organizations, people often find it unthinkable that a trusted coworker or neighbor could be stealing — and board members or others who could provide oversight might not be eager to do so.
An independent audit in the Brobst case found that his group's procedures "provided that the same employee/officer was responsible for making deposits, signing checks on multiple accounts, recording transactions, preparing financial reports and reconciling the bank accounts.
"In addition, the board or other officer did not require documents such as bank statements to be kept at the Society's office."
State auditor Dave Yost says that fraud, while not widespread percentage-wise across the state, is always a risk that must be guarded against by having the proper checks and balances. Out of the 5,800 audits the state auditor's office does each year, he estimates that about 200 result in letters warning of lax financial practices that "leave the door open" to fraud.
While the percentage of cases is not large and many of these public entities are very small, "We're talking about other people's money," Yost said. The two most common problems are a lack of regular reconciliation of bank accounts by someone other than the fiscal officer and a lack of separation of duties, as with Brobst, putting one person in full charge of a group's finances.
This latest case should be a reminder of the importance to organizations of all sizes to have competent, independent oversight of finances.

Health Officials Dispel Fears About Flu Vaccine for Pregnant Women
Anthony Advincula | 12/3/2010, 9:32 a.m.
NEWARK, N.J.--As a nonprofit counselor for pregnant women, Rebecca Manson encounters the same question almost every day: Is it really safe to get the flu vaccine during pregnancy?
Hearing the fear in the voices of expectant mothers, many of whom have read scare stories on the Internet, Manson wanted to make that sure she was providing the correct information. She sought answers from health officials.
"It brought me to a point where I needed to get the answer directly from the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]," she said. "I knew the vaccine was safe, but I wanted to find more explanations from the experts."
Dr. Felipe Lobelo, a senior fellow at CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, reiterated the safety of the vaccine for pregnant women, assuring: "It's the best single way to protect the mother and the baby in her womb."
"A pregnant woman is more susceptible to complications," Lobelo said in an interview at a recent press briefing with ethnic media in Newark. "If she gets any type of flu, she has a greater chance for serious health problems. Therefore, it's very important for a pregnant woman to get a flu shot to protect both her and her baby."
Lobelo also refuted misinformation about the vaccine's effects on unborn children that swamps the Internet. Contrary to those stories, he said, research shows that babies born to mothers who had a flu shot in pregnancy get sick with flu less often than babies whose mothers didn't get vaccinated.
The CDC's website encourages pregnant women to get both the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccines. The vaccines come in a form of a shot or a nasal spray.
However, pregnant women should get the shot and NOT the spray, the website says. That's because the nasal spray "is made with live, weakened flu virus," the site explains. "It should be used only in healthy people 2-49 years of age who are not pregnant."
Yet even in the event that a spray version of the vaccine were given to an expectant mother--for example, before she knew she was pregnant--the CDC says there would be very little chance of any negative effects for her or her child. "Weakened, live flu virus has never been shown to be passed to the unborn baby," the CDC says.
What's more, the spray and the shot versions are both safe for new mothers, "even if they are nursing," the CDC says.
Manson was surprised to find that the vaccine is so safe. "See, I didn't know that," she said. "I'm glad to find that out."
In the 1970s, the Japanese government forced a compulsory vaccination, noted Dr. Peter N. Wenger, associate professor in the departments of Preventive Medicine & Community Health and Pediatrics at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. When the vaccination was stopped after several years, the flu mortality rate increased.
"If you are pregnant or considered to be high-risk, rather than wearing a mask, gloves and a gown while walking around to protect yourself from the flu virus, get yourself vaccinated," Wenger said. "Certainly, it's more harmful if you don't."

Chainsaws, quads and mad bulls are three of the biggest hazards on farms, reckons 60-year-old Mauriceville sheep-and-beef farmer Alan Stuart.
Stuart was once chainsawing through a large log and slipped, falling with his stomach across the blade - which, fortunately, was no longer turning.
Wearing chaps has "saved my legs a couple of times", says Stuart, who adds he has also had a couple of run-ins with the springy wood of the macrocarpa, which can move in unexpected directions when cut.
On a quad bike there are so many factors that can contribute to a crash, he says.
"There's the emotional side when the unpredictable happens, the dogs are not working, or the stock are being a bit clever.
"There's the weather, if you've got driving rain reducing visibility - even if you're just observing livestock."
A suddenly slippery patch of clover from recent rain can also be the cause of losing control.
"Or you're mustering ewes and lambs, and the dogs are a bit buggered; the sheep make a break for it and there's no way you want to let them get away ... and suddenly, there's that bloody hole you were thinking about before.
"You can say 'stop and count to three', but when you risk losing half a day's mustering ... there's a degree of inevitability to most accidents."
Bulls can "be a bit unpredictable at times" and Stuart knows of farmers gored or crushed in the yards, but has managed to avoid injury himself.
"It's about knowing your stock," he says.
Experience is the best teacher, says Stuart, and learning to slow down on the quad and keep to the track unless absolutely necessary are among the tricks he's picked up over the years.
Farmers can learn from courses and experience and take safety precautions, but he says accidents will still happen every now and then, "out of the blue".
"It's the unpredictable that catches you out," he said.
"You're never, ever going to get accident-free farms; there are so many unpredictables, so many random variables."

Well, no sketches here.
1) A parallelogram has two sets of parallel sides. A trapezium does not.
2) A rhombus is a quadrilateral with 4 congruent sides (i.e., they all have the same length). A square is a special rhombus (so it has 4 congruent sides) in which every angle is a right angle (i.e., measures 90 degrees).
That's as succinct as it gets, I suppose.

By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Club Reporter
Newcastle United entertain Queens Park Rangers on Sunday afternoon at the Sports Direct Arena (1.30pm kick-off), on what will be new R's manager Mark Hughes' first game.
The former Wales, Blackburn, Manchester City and Fulham boss was only appointed at the London club on Wednesday, and will be looking to make a winning start to life in charge.
But Rangers - who last tasted victory in mid-November away at Stoke City - face a tough task against a Newcastle side who have won three of their last four games.
Sunday's game is the 44th match between the two clubs, and the 40th in the league. Before this season, the last time the clubs met in the top flight was the 1995/96 campaign.
Tickets for Sunday's match are on general sale. They can be purchased by calling the Box Office on 0844 372 1892, visiting any of the Official Club Stores, or online by clicking on the button below

Newcastle - Danny Guthrie is expected to be back in contention for a central midfield slot, having missed the last seven games with a groin problem, but winger Sammy Ameobi is ruled out for several months with a leg injury. Danny Simpson should have recovered from a shoulder knock in time for the fixture. Demba Ba and Cheick Tiote are both away on national duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Sylvain Marveaux (hip and groin), Peter Lovenkrands (calf) and Steven Taylor (Achilles) remain sidelined.
QPR - Former United midfielder Joey Barton is out, as he serves the second of a three-game ban, and he is joined on the sidelines by Alejandro Faurlin, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season by a knee injury. Kieron Dyer (ankle) is another long-term absentee for new Rangers boss Mark Hughes. Defender Armand Traore and playmaker Adel Taarabt are away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Alan Pardew, Newcastle manager: "Winning three successive matches against Premier League opposition in no easy task, and QPR will make it hard for us as they will be eager to impress their new manager and clamber clear of the relegation zone. Results are all-important whatever level you are working at, and our aim is to make sure we continue to move in an upward curve, and cement our position in the upper echelons of the Premier League."
Shaun Derry, QPR midfielder: "It's a difficult place to go. Newcastle have had a fantastic start to the season. They have probably exceeded their own expectations. It's going to be a difficult game for us, but we are hoping that our new manager can have the same impact that Martin O'Neill has had on Newcastle's near-neighbours Sunderland."
Chris Foy (Lancashire) - 2011/12 record: 17 games, 46 yellow cards, seven red cards
Joey Barton, Leon Best, Kieron Dyer, Fitz Hall, Les Ferdinand, Darren Peacock, Gavin Peacock, Peter Ramage, Wayne Routledge, Kenny Sansom, Ian Stewart
Queens Park Rangers have conceded over a quarter of their goals in the first 20 minutes of Premier League matches, and have scored the second lowest number of goals in the league this season.

A Morley man was arrested Thursday on narcotics and weapons charges.
Christopher S. Shipman, 39, was charged with manufacturing a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and four counts of unlawful use of a firearm, according to a news release from Scott County Sheriff Rick Walter.
According to Walter, deputies received a tip that Shipman was suspected to be in illegal possession of firearms. Walter said a search Wednesday yielded multiple firearms, ammunition and drug paraphernalia.
Deputies also found several precursors to methamphetamine production at the residence, as well as a substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine, Walter said, and various wildlife remains, which were turned over to the Missouri Department of Conservation.
More charges could be filed, the sheriff said. Bond is set at $100,000.

ABU offering online nursing program
PHILIPPI – For the first time in history at Alderson Broaddus University, busy nurses have the chance to advance their degrees with a new online Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, officials announced Friday.
"I have seen the boundless opportunities in the health care field, and feel privileged to participate in the education of the next generation of these professionals," Dean of the College of Health Services and online administrator Dr. Brenda Mason said, adding that there are over 13,000 associate-degree nurses in the state and AB is well known for its reputable nursing programs.
Nurses practicing as RNs with associate degrees are not able to get management or supervisory jobs in their field without the BSN degree.
"What it's going to bring to them is the opportunity to go back to school and to advance their careers," Mason said. "This will give them the flexibility to be able to take classes any time."
After a busy day, nurses can log on and complete classwork at any time of the day or night, be it after dinner, before work, past midnight or on a lunch break.
Mason said that the Institution of Medicine highly recommends that 80 percent of all nurses have BSN degrees by 2020. The online approach to the course allows nurses to advance in their careers and support their families while meeting that recommendation.
The 18-month program will be taught in eight-week courses with rolling admissions, meaning students can enroll in the program full-time or part-time every eight weeks. The courses roll out Jan. 6, 2014, at a cost of $295 per credit hour taken by the student. Mason said the price is very competitive and one of the cheapest prices per credit hour in West Virginia.
"The program gives registered nurses an opportunity to advance their education, and ultimately their careers, in a fast-paced curriculum designed so they can also continue to work," Mason said. "Our innovative program is built upon recent significant changes in health care, nursing practice and educational theory.
"The announcement comes at a very good time," she added. "It's the perfect resolution for the growing number of nurses who have inquired about our program but, because of their schedules, found it difficult to get to campus."
The first four-year BSN program in the state of West Virginia was launched in 1945 by Alderson-Broaddus College, and, according to a press release, this new online program continues the academic excellence that has long been a hallmark of Alderson Broaddus University.
Sophomore communications major Aurora Winwood said she was attracted to enroll at ABU last year because of its dynamic academic programs. Winwood said she has witnessed ABU grow already.
"This year, everything has just advanced so much, especially with the development of new colleges and schools," Winwood said. "It's really exciting to see the changes. Although I'm not a nursing major, I'm excited for fellow students that are, and that they'll have the opportunity to do online programs."
While this is the first online program available at ABU, Mason said it may not be the last.
"We plan to develop many more; this is just our first," Mason said.
Marketing Director Ashley Mittlemeier issued a press release stating that ABU will soon be announcing more changes and adding more academic initiatives, including online programs. More information about the RN-BSN program is available online at www.ab.edu/rn2bsn.

Center Holds Faculty Orientation
According to Fr. Sibug, in multi-media, several kinds of
information like text, graphics, sounds, pictures, video are integrated by
computers so that users can interact with them and get feedback regarding
the interaction. Interactivity, he added is the greatest potential
benefit of multi-media. Media Technology trends involve a smaller, smarter
and more powerful media; more portable and flexible information; more
electronic delivery systems. Media Technology trend also includes
convergence fo technology, infotainment and edutainment. In this category he
made mentioned how TV programs today mix the delivery of information and
entertainment. Thus, tv programs now are not only informational, educational
but entertaining as well because of the way things are presented to the
audience. He emphasized that there is a decrease in the cost of technology
because companies now continuously find ways to improve their products and
therefore hasten obsolescense of the latest product models we have today.
These media technology trends not only expand classroom
boundaries but also change the role teachers or educators play. With the
presence of multi-media there is now a more active involvement of learners.
And the bottomline is that schools should continuously have technology
planning. Fr. Sibug encouraged faculty members to explore the possibilities
of applying technology in their instruction. He mentioned the instructional
model which he calls the ASSURE MODEL. The acronym stands for
A - nalyzing learners characteristics
Davy Chioa, Media Clerk, said that the media center provides a viewing room
for students. In case of report presentation and film viewing, there is no
need for the students to borrow the TV. All they have to do is to proceed to
the Media Center and apply for reservation of the Mezzanine Viewing Room.

Dov Charney Rereads His E-mail, Clears Up Confusion Regarding the Russian Olympic Uniforms
"I'm in the schmatta business."
Last week, the Post reported that Charney and American Apparel might be in the running to design the uniforms for Russia's 2014 team. But both the Russian Olympic Committee and the country's official outfitter Bosco told WWD they didn't know what Charney was talking about (though Charney insisted he was in touch with "an organization that is connected to the government"). Today, WWD writes that Charney double-checked his inbox and he was actually corresponding with someone about "Russia-themed consumer merchandise." He said, "I'm not as well educated on these Olympic matters as I should be. I'm in the schmatta business." Anyway, there's always 2018.

Video: Selanne discusses latest heroics
[bc3 height="320"]850914339001[/bc3]
DALLAS -- Teemu Selanne has 629 goals in his career but his last three have as critical as it gets as they've tied games in the final 2:07 or later in regulation. Selanne talked with reporters about delivering another massive goal for the second consecutive game, which led to a 4-3 overtime victory for the Ducks over the Dallas Stars. Sixteen of Selanne's 23 goals have either tied the game or given then the lead.

Different historians' views on whether Henry VII was modern or medieval.
The statement that Henry Tudor created a 'new monarchy' is one that was even debated at the time. Throughout the years historians views have consistently contrasted and changed.
The actual 'new monarchy' theory is owed much to the historian J.R.Green and his reference to the events of 1471-1509 in his book "Short History of the English People" (published in 1876) as the emergence of a new monarchy. J.R. Green suggests this monarchy restored the power and authority to the crown after the events of the war of the roses. He also hinted at the start of tudor despotism an idea supported by several early 20th century historians. Albert Pollard was one of many historians to expand on J.R. Green's theory and move the beginning of the new monarchy to 1485. This is hardly surprising as the date coincides with the beginning of a new dynasty that lasted well over a century and is considered a period of great change and achievement. In particular Pollard emphasised the Tudor's creation of the nation state. This way he could make parallels with modernising monarchies in France and Spain. Early 20th century historians historians look highly on the Tudor government as it was seen as creating the basis of the modern nation state.
In the last 50 years the concept of Henry VII creating the new monarchy is greatly opposed. The majority of historians argue that no new monarchy existed or that 1485 marked only a dynastic change. J.D. Mackie was the first to challenge in "The Earlier Tudors" (1952):
"In England as elsewhere the new monarchy did not emerge fully developed in the year 1485 or in any other year. This factor was not always recognised."
Geoffrey Elton preferred to shift the development of the new monarchy to the 1530's and the reforming of Henry VIII's minister Thomas Cromwell. Elton considered the work of Edward IV and Henry VII

JACKSON — Mississippi Republican Roger Wicker says he wants another term in the U.S. Senate to continue fighting bureaucracy and seeking ways to cut budgets and promote American energy.
His Democratic challenger, Albert Gore Jr., is campaigning on saving Social Security, protecting veterans' benefits and upholding the federal health care law that President Barack Obama signed in 2010.
Another candidate in the Senate race, the Constitution Party's Thomas Cramer, says he wants to limit the role of government.
They're on the ballot next Tuesday, along with the Reform Party's Shawn O'Hara.
Wicker, Gore and Cramer were among the politicians speaking Wednesday at the Mississippi Economic Council's annual Hobnob.
Several hundred business people and government officials attended the social gathering under a big white circus tent at the state agriculture museum in Jackson.

Our Strategy
One Day's Wages (ODW) is an international grassroots movement dedicated to ending extreme global poverty. ODW promotes awareness, invites giving, and supports sustainable relief through partnerships, especially with smaller organizations in developing regions.
Our mission is to work with others in ending extreme global poverty. And to pursue that mission, we also have a strategy.
Human Relationships + Techology/Social Media + Vision =
Movement to end Extreme Global Poverty
What is our key strategic plan?
1. Human Relationships.
Despite what some may think, money is not the solution. In fact, money can be devastating if not utilized properly. Our strategy is not to invest money but invest in people and healthy organizations doing effective and transparent work to empower people to uplift themselves out of poverty.
2. Simple and Transparent Giving
Invite anyone and everyone to simple strategic giving by inviting people to invest their One Day's Wages and to renew this pledge every year on one's birthday (or even weekly, monthly, bi-annually)
3. Promote Awareness / Technology & Social Media
Utilize human relationships and technology/social media to raise the profile of our movement and thus, share our stories, influence policies that impact the poorest of the poor, and fund more projects and organizations.
4. Partner with Effective Organizations.
We'll fund NGOs and CBOs in their projects and causes that are working to lift women, men, and children out of extreme poverty.

RUSH: A fascinating thing happened yesterday. There was a conference call yesterday. Sununu ran a conference call with four small-business owners. They had a bunch of bloggers on the call and some traditional reporters. One of the bloggers on the call was John Hinderaker from Power Line. And he wrote about it, he said: "This morning I participated in a media phone call organized by the Romney campaign led by John Sununu and focused on President Obama's astonishing claim that 'If you got a business --you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.' Sununu was joined by four small business owners.
"Sununu was nuclear. He said that Obama's comments show three related things: 1) The President doesn't understand how America and business work. No wonder his administration has failed to create jobs. 2) Obama's crony capitalism: he thinks the way to create jobs is for the government to pick winners and losers, and slide money to Obama's bundlers and allies." The way this works, Obama knows what he's doing. This business he's incompetent and doesn't understand. He understands how it works, and resents it. But the crony capitalism works this way. Obama slips you some money for an industry going nowhere, like Solyndra, solar panels, wind, or what have you, and you send some of it back to Obama. It's a way for Obama to actually get taxpayer dollars as campaign donations. He just has to launder the money first. He has to first give it away to some nonexistent business that's going nowhere in exchange for the guy who got the money sending some of it back as a donation.
It's much like the union money-laundering scheme that's been going on for years, the Democrat Party and all the big labor unions. So literally, federal money from the Treasury, say, to Solyndra, nonexistent business goes bankrupt, but beforehand, the Solyndra guy sends some of it back. It's a little cleaner than Obama just appropriating money to himself, but that's essentially what he's doing. That's Obama's version of crony capitalism. And Sununu said the third thing: "Obama's attitude toward small business also reflects where he comes from, the 'murky political world' of Chicago where politicians and felons are interchangeable. Sununu wrapped up by saying that not only were Obama's comments insulting to entrepreneurs, they show he has no idea how the economy functions. He said he wished Obama would learn how to be an American."
He has since apologized for that. We have those sound bites. Those are numbers 18 and 19 coming up thing. But before we get to that, after Sununu went through his little riff, "Sununu then introduced four small business people, all of whom did a great job of pushing back against Obama's casual dismissal of their hard work. Kyle Kahler and his brothers and sisters own a tool and die company in Ohio. He pointed out that if all it took to have a successful business is a road in front of your building, as Obama seems to believe, then everyone would have one. Kahler and his family went without new cars, vacations and so on so that they could reinvest money in their business. In the end, the business succeeded and has paid millions of dollars in taxes as well as millions in payrolls. Obama, he said, is ignorant. The government is getting a free ride on the backs of businesses, not the other way around."
And that is exactly right. It's the government that gets the free ride. It's Obama trying to tell everybody that government comes up with these great ideas, government makes all these great ideas possible. Government is a sponge with a police force. It's all these other people that are out creating jobs, creating businesses, creating products and services. They pay taxes. The government gets to collect it for doing nothing, just for existing. It's the government that gets a free ride on the back of business and here's Obama trying to make it look like these businesses owe everything they've got to a benevolent ruler or leader or government.
The next guy, the next business owner, David Napier, owns a catering business. "He noted that Obama doesn't seem to understand that 100% of the government's revenue comes from business activity." The government wouldn't have a dime if it weren't for people creating wealth and the government taxing it. This seemed to be a theme among all four of the business owners. Now, wait. Stick with me, folks, because this has a great, great payoff. The next business owner, Jerry Pierce, "said he was insulted by Obama's ignorant comments. Obama has no idea what it takes to start a business. When Pierce began, his first office was a door he laid across two filing cabinets and a single phone line. He got no help from the government, nor was there ever a community organizer helping him. Pierce took out a second mortgage on his house, gave up vacations and sacrificed to build his business. We need a new president; Mitt Romney understands business.
"The last small business person was Renee Amoore, who owns a health care and business consulting firm in Pennsylvania. She was white-hot, her voice quivering with anger. Where did Obama get his comments, she asked. She is blessed, but she is blessed because she has sacrificed. Obama's statement is reprehensible, he doesn't know what is going on. He doesn't understand business or the economy. Romney understands business because he has lived it. People think that because I am an African-American woman I am supposed to vote for Obama, she said. Well, I have been an African-American woman for a long time, and I'm not voting for him. 23 million Americans are out of work and incomes are falling. I'm working hard, Obama isn't. He doesn't know what hard work is. Her husband suffers from ALS, and she is her family's sole support. I need Mitt Romney, she said. Hope and change? I'm hoping for a change."
Now, Hinderaker is listening to all this on the conference call and said: "It is hard to imagine a more hard-hitting presentation. I would love to see every one of these business owners featured in a commercial. Ms. Amoore, in particular, would be a sensation. So when Sununu and the business owners had spoken, the floor was opened up for questions."
Look at me. Listen to this.
"The first question came from Joe Varden of the Columbus Dispatch: Can you clarify your comment about [Obama] learning to be an American? Sununu: I meant that Obama needs to learn the American formula for creating business -- not for government to create business, but to create an environment in which entrepreneurs can thrive. Varden's second question: What do you think of Rob Portman as a Vice-presidential choice? Next up was Andrew Stiles of the Washington Free Beacon, who asked about Jeffrey Katzenberg, a major Obama bundler, being under investigation for allegedly bribing Chinese officials.
"Then it was back to the media-formerly-known-as-mainstream. Garrett Haik of NBC News wanted to know how the issue of Romney's tax returns 'plays into the argument about what someone understands re business.' Sununu said the tax return question is merely a distraction, no matter how many Romney releases the Democrats will always want more. The last question came from Sarah Boxer of PBS: Expanding on the tax return question, a new Obama ad is running in Pennsylvania that says Romney's returns may show that he didn't pay any taxes at all. Any comment on that? Sununu said that the ad 'shows how stupid the Obama campaign is.' To think that someone who has been in the public eye all his life and has been Governor of Massachusetts didn't pay any taxes is ridiculous. The IRS would have been beating down his door."
So what happened here? Here you had the Romney campaign -- this is what all of you in this audience say you would love to see. It happened yesterday. You're not hearing about it from the people who covered it. And you won't. They had a dynamic presentation on the people who make this country work, made by the people who make this country work, for the people who make this country work. Four small-business owners describing what it took and what it takes and how difficult it is with Obama as president. And all they wanted to know, all journalists wanted to know was how any of this plays into Romney's tax returns.
So the Romney campaign puts on a great show that you didn't see and you won't see. The only thing that the Democrat Party reporters wanted to know is how they can spin it back to Obama's talking points. That's all they cared about. They're not the slightest bit curious. They're not the slightest bit interested. They've got marching orders, or their narrative, or their template, or whatever the hell. And their template is whatever Obama happens to be alleging about Romney, either he's a felon, or he should release his tax returns. So no matter what Romney says or does in a press availability, the questions are always gonna be taken back and tried to be linked or tied to the Obama agenda and Obama's talking points. It's journalistic malpractice. It is blatant incompetence.
These are people that have... I would call it a "constitutional privilege," in addition to a constitutional responsibility. But regardless, it's simply journalistic malpractice. It's not bias. That's a foregone conclusion. This is a bunch of hacks advancing an agenda of a particular candidate, in this case the incumbent president of the United States. Now, Hinderaker closes by saying, "It will be interesting to see whether any word of what actually happened in today's call will see the light of day in the media formally known as 'mainstream.' If you didn't see it here, would you see it anywhere? I doubt it."
And there's no doubt that he's right.
SUNUNU: The president clearly demonstrated that he has absolutely no idea how the American economy functions. The men and women all over America who have worked hard to build these businesses, their businesses, from the ground up is how our economy became the envy of the world. It is the American way, and I wish this president would learn how to be an American.
RUSH: "[A]nd I wish this president would learn how to be an American." I have a theory. I believe that untold millions of Americans know exactly what he means. I think that this is not a unique opinion. And it has nothing to do with birthers. It has nothing to do with the birth certificate or any of that. It has to do with the fact that this guy does not like this country as founded. He has said his objective is to transform this country. We've got three-and-a-half years, a track record here of too many things to be coincidental. There is a purpose to this.

Southwest of the Sisters, at a small seamount named the Dory.
Winds up around 40-50, although a high-pressure front is coming through: hopefully we'll be able to get in the water by tomorrow morning!
So we spent a good deal of the morning trying to figure out the dredge issue. Let me present it as a word problem: The dredge is strung out behind the boat by a length of wire, and since we're moving on the surface, the dredge is trailing us at an angle, known as the "layback". What we have to figure out is how long that wire has to be in order for the dredge to drag along the bottom. In order to determine this, we have a tool called a "pinger", which sends pulses of sound that bounce off the seafloor and then back up to the ship. The pinger is attached to the dredge line, about 150 meters up from the dredge. To muddy the waters, this pinger, if not directly below the ship, bounces its sound waves at an angle off the seafloor back to the ship.
Fortunately, the layback is small enough that this bouncing does not confound our pinger measurements very much. The layback ratio, or the ratio between the length of wire out to the distance from the dredge to the surface, is around 1.02 – 1.08. If we do some calculations, we find that a change in this trawl ratio changes the pinger signal by under 10%, which is a small enough error to be able to still accurately determine our position on the seafloor.
Given this information, and a flat seafloor, it should be relatively easy using trigonometry to determine the depth of the dredge. However, the seafloor is anything but flat, especially when you want to dredge across a seamount. So how, given the uneven topography of the seafloor, do you pinpoint exactly where the dredge is on the bottom? Now, it is really a matter of lack of information; given enough iterations we should be able to generate a good intuition about where it is. If we know the starting position of the boat, and the exact heading, as well as the bathymetry (the topography of the seafloor), we should be able to narrow down our dredge mark.
Unfortunately, with the prevailing 35-knot winds, we've had to cancel operations for the rest of the day. However, it seems that a high pressure front is moving in sooner than expected, so with any luck, we'll have Jason in the water again bright and early tomorrow morning.
To address Justin's comment to this process of dredging and sampling from the seafloor, I've definitely had the same doubts about the costs versus the benefits of doing such sampling. Compared to the larger fishing trawls, our tiny dredge doesn't make a huge dent in the reef. Although I must admit that science does also operate under the "bigger is better" mantra: there is a dredge called the "Sherman" that the group used last year on some seamounts that would no doubt leave a very large mark on whatever seamount it was sampling. Regardless of sample size, our focus is also primarily on fossil corals; that is, material that is not alive. There are other science crew aboard that collect live samples – you can get paleoclimate data out of live samples, especially to reconstruct reef position over time on the seamounts, and taxonomists are still discovering and describing species from this area.
I like to think that our sampling is sparse and selective enough to not have much of an impact on the reef community as a whole. However, in an already impacted zone that's trying to recover from serious overfishing, our small sampling could seriously retard reef regrowth in this area. Indeed, this whole area is a Marine Protected zone, which means that no fishing of any kind can happen here, and any live coral taken from the seafloor must be catalogued and reported back to the Australian government. We had to get special permits to travel here – most Australian vessels are banned from operating in these waters. Moreover, our "sparse" sampling is potentially targeting very long-lived individuals that have been part of the reef community for decades, and maybe even centuries; it is no secret that corals take a very long time to grow, and their presence is an island to many fauna that are closely associated with it and he environment it creates.
The bottom line, though, is that our single cruise takes such small transects of the available ecosystem. We sample up and down contour lines with a field of vision of about five meters; we really have no idea if what we're seeing is even indicative of the entire ecosystem on these seamounts. Even a large dredge like the Sherman, taking up literally a ton of material during a single dredge, impacts an incredibly small area of the Southern Hills.
The real ecological threat here might be the vast amount of carbon dioxide we're releasing into the atmosphere by steaming in a big boat – the tank of the boat holds 285,000 gallons of diesel fuel (!!!!!) and even when idling in one place, the boat burns 1600 gallons of fuel every day.
Maybe we would be better off taking video of the whole thing and looking it at a screen, but there's something about discovery that lends itself to dissection and destrucion – Human curiosity isn't satisfied until we have really "gotten to the bottom of something". And now I wax philosophical, which means I've spent way too much time thinking and writing about this. People's thoughts and comments about this are encouraged, though! I'd like to hear what people think about the ecological friendliness of our cruise, dredging, sampling, or anything!

Hopscotch Detroit: Community Building With Miles Long Pop-up Playground
What if the schedule of city-life had recess built into it, just like elementary school? A team of social innovators in Detroit is asking that question with their upcoming project Hopscotch Detroit, a social free-for-all that puts a schoolyard spin on community engagement—and even intends to break a world record, using nearly a ton of chalk, stencils, and city's sidewalks.
Hopscotch Detroit is a joint venture of social design startup Wedge Detroit and community-building initiative Imagine Detroit Together. Since June, the two organizations have conspired to bring a 4.2-mile-long urban hopscotch course to life. Equal parts ode to the classic childhood game and imaginative community event, Hopscotch Detroit's allure is its simplicity: temporarily transforming a street, or a city, into a unified, vibrant playground.

Hopscotch Detroit: Groups Plan To Draw World Record Hopscotch Course

Detroit could soon be known as "Hopscotch City," thanks to the work of two local creative groups. The design startup Wedge Detroit and the community arts and technology collaborative Imagine Detroit Together are leading an effort to make the city the temporary home of the world's longest hopscotch course next month.
Read the rest of the story at the Huff Post!
By Wedge on August 22, 2012
People are often surprised when we show up to community events with our buckets of chalk and homemade potions of chalk paint. So you can imagine our surprise when we showed up to Cody Rouge's Family Fun Day last Saturday and found out we weren't the only ones bringing the goods.
Geoff Gillespie has been doing chalk murals for ten years. When we stumbled across him, he was laying down an outline of a butterfly to be filled in by kids in the Cody Rouge community.
"Once I put the colors out there and put the outline out, it's just amazing watching them go to town," Geoff tells us. "I just have to do a little piece of it and then they take it over. I just watch it grow from there."
"It's always a work in progress, so it's a beautiful thing."
It took us about .02 seconds to tell Geoff about Hopscotch and ask him to become part of our growing family of artists. We are so very happy to say that he accepted. Come make art with Geoff on September 22nd on the final squares of the course.

We met Ed Morykwas at Detroit SOUP last Sunday

Poor Mabel. Not being a squeemish person, I would go to Shoppers and buy some 2ml syringes and would attempt to inject a worm...or three....maybe 2 ml is lot to put in worm. You could try putting sea salt into warm paddling pool water.
I used to work with racehorses and when one went lame with infection we would make abran mash poultice, put it in a feed sack and tie it onto the horses foot. As it cooled and dried, it would draw out the infection. (we had a nold school vet). Not sure how a duck could cope with a bagged leg though.

Humm... my husband said the best way to get those antibiotics into a worm is inject it with a hypodermic needle. Apparently this worked for putting vodka into oranges back in the day (head shake).

And re Mabel. We had a pigeon when I was a kid...he had a wing injured. We didn't take him to the vet, Dad just taped things up and he hung around for quite a while. My brother called him Homer pige. Too funny that you made me remember that!

View Full Version :
Flooded Skil Backpack blower
Can someone please help me. My backpack blower has flooded after my associate ran it out of gas. I need help on what to do to get it started.
Are you sure it is flooded? If so, make sure the switch is turned off. Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug and remove the spark plug. Look at the spark plug and check to see if it is wet. If so, does it smell like gasoline? If it does, attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug once again and just let it hang.
Again, make sure the run/stop switch is in the "off" or "stop" position. Now briskly pull the starter rope several times to blow the excess gasoline from the cylinder. If you have time to let it stand over night, place it inside somewhere where it will stay dry from moisture (like rain, dew, etc) and wait to replce the spark plug until morning. If you don't have the time to wait, blow the spark plug dry and replace it into the engine. Replace the spark plug wire to the spark plug, return the switch to "start" or "run". Do not choke the engine and try to start it.
If it does not start after several pulls remove the spark plug to see if it is damp again. If not, replace the spark plug and wire, choke it like you normally would. Hopefully it will now start. If you had the luxury of letting it set over night you should be able to start just like normal.
Now if by chance the spark plug was dry the first time you removed it, you may have a different problem.
Hope that helps,
this is going to sound a little backwards but hold throttle wide open and try to pull 2-3 times if all else fails pull plug pull a few times then reinstall and should be good although it did get ran dry there may be other issues like superior said id check to see if maybe some trash in carb blocking jets(plug will be dry) or maybe the float is stuck open all else fail ill give you 20.00 for it :D

Wis. DOJ says company misled public
The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a civil forfeiture action against Computers for Kids, Inc. and Robert Szweda over allegations that they made misrepresentations to the public.
According to a criminal complaint filed on December 10, 2012, Computer for Kids, Inc. is a registered non-stock Wisconsin corporation and the corporation's registered agent is Szweda.
The complaint states that Computers for Kids, Inc. and Szweda solicited donations of used computer equipment, to be refurbished and given to needy children, and cash. The complaint also alleges Computers for Kids, Inc. did not register and file required disclosures as required by Wisconsin's charitable organizations law.
The complaint also alleges that Computers for Kids, Inc. and Szweda made misrepresentations to the public, including that most donations are taxable deductible.
The DOJ says those donations are not tax-deductible because Computers for Kids, Inc. is not a registered tax-exempt entity. The DOJ also notes that the company is not a certified recycling facility, like it told the public.
A Sauk County Circuit Court judge has been assigned the case.

Here at HotelsCombined, we"ve recently become besotted with Emma Gardiner"s quirky Aussie travel/lifestyle/culinary blog. From heartfelt musings on relationships to suggestions for a "kick ass" Canberra weekend getaway, there is never a dull post in the SheGoes arsenal – moreover, you"re likely to find plenty of Down Under hidden gems that you wouldn"t learn about from a Lonely Planet guide.
Emma was recently kind enough to feature my travel tales on her blog and I thought it was only fair that she should answer a few questions for us in return:
What's your favourite travel book?
I am embarrassed to say Eat, Pray, Love.
Favourite travel movie?
It"s hard to say what a travel movie actually is. There are a lot of movies that centre around journeys, but I wouldn"t necessarily call them travel movies. I am going to go for anything by Ang Lee – Brokeback Mountain, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Life of Pi. His films always seem to capture scenery in such an extraordinary way.
Number one travel pet peeve?
Forgetting my phone or camera charger or, alternatively, neglecting to buy a local adapter plug.
What trips do you have planned for 2013?
I am going to Japan for Cherry Blossom over Easter and I am dreaming of heading north to Port Douglas in October to get some sunshine. I would also love to get to Perth or Darwin because I still haven"t been.
What destination do you absolutely HAVE to go to before you die?
What's your favourite Australian destination?
I love the area up around Dorrigo, Bellingen and Coffs Harbour [in New South Wales]. Lots of wildflowers, hippies, docile dairy cows, quirky little shops and cafes and beautiful beaches once you reach the coast.
Australians tend not to travel around their own country. Why do you think that is?
The expense. Australia is very expensive for travel compared to our neighbours in New Zealand and South East Asia. Plus, I think a lot of us think we can [explore Australia] when we get older and lose our tolerance for long-haul flights and heavy itineraries.
Which fellow Aussie bloggers do you look to for inspiration?
I love Pip Lincolne from Meet Me at Mikes, Lexi Campbell-Kentmann from Potty Mouth Mama and my best friend"s book blog, The Literate Chicken, is brilliant too.
What's been your best hotel experience?
In Australia, it was at the East Hotel in Canberra. Internationally, I loved Klaus K in Helsinki, The Sheraton in Pattaya and some of the old palaces and fort in Rajasthan were glorious.

Wusthof "Defines the Edge" with New Campaign
April 18, 2012,
NORWALK, Conn.-Wusthof has launched a multiplatform consumer-marketing initiative called "defining the Edge," which highlights what a company statement called "edgy" young chefs and culinary professionals who use the company's cutlery products.
The effort begins this month with a new microsite with multimedia content, wusthofedge.com; national print and digital media advertising; social media; and public relations. The underlying message of "defining the Edge," the statement said, is that Wusthof knives give home cooks an unparalleled "edge" in their kitchens.
Produced by AGENCYSACKS, Wusthof's advertising agency, the program begins with videos spotlighting three culinary professionals: Richie Nakano, owner and chef of pop-up food stand Hapa Ramen in San Francisco; Camas Davis, founder of Portland Meat Collective in Portland, Ore.; and Jonathon Sawyer, owner and chef of The Greenhouse Tavern and Noodlecat in Cleveland. The biographical web videos cast each professional in a unique role, with Nakano as "The Rebel," Davis as "The Poet" and Sawyer as "The Believer."
Annette Garaghty, vice president of sales and marketing for Wusthof-Trident of America, characterized the campaign as relevant "to today's food-centric and hyper-connected culture." Noting its potential appeal to younger adults who have become interested in food, Garaghty said, "We're tapping into this passion by identifying and introducing to consumers risk-taking culinary professionals who are pushing boundaries in their local communities."

The latest issue of Gut evaluates the incidence of diverticular disease with dietary fibre.
Previous prospective studies have found the incidence of intestinal diverticular disease decreased with increasing intakes of dietary fibre, but associations by the fibre source are less well characterized.
Dr Francesca Crowe and colleagues from the United Kingdom assessed these associations in a large UK prospective study of middle-aged women.
During 6 years follow-up of 690,075 women without known diverticular disease who had not changed their diet in the last 5 years, 17,325 were admitted to hospital or died with diverticular disease.
Dietary fibre intake was assessed using a validated 40-item food questionnaire and remeasured 1 year later in 4265 randomly-selected women.
The team noted that mean total dietary fibre intake at baseline was 14 g/day, of which 42% came from cereals, 22% from fruits, 19% from vegetables, and 15% from potatoes.
The researchers found that the relative risk for diverticular disease per 5 g/day fibre intake was 0.86.
The team observed significant heterogeneity by the 4 main sources of fibre, with relative risks, adjusted for each of the other sources of dietary fibre of 0.84 per 5 g/day for cereal, 0.81 per 5 g/day for fruit, 1.03 per 5 g/day for vegetable, and 1.04 per 1 g/day for potato fibre.
Dr Crowe's team concludes, "A higher intake of dietary fibre is associated with a reduced risk of diverticular disease."
"The associations with diverticular disease appear to vary by fibre source, and the reasons for this variation are unclear."

Wisconsin livestock siting standards committee named
Technical standards used in permitting new or expanding livestock operations will be reviewed by a Livestock Siting Technical Expert committee named recently by Secretary Rod Nilsestuen, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
Nilsestuen convened the technical committee to review water quality, odor, runoff management and other standards used by local governments in permitting livestock operations under the Livestock Facility Siting Law.
The work of this committee is part of DATCP's four-year review of the siting law, which began with the department's presentation of an evaluation report to Board of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection at their May meeting.
"By law we must appoint a committee of technical experts to provide advice on the siting standards and the Livestock Facility Siting Rule which is also known as ATCP 51," Nilsestuen explained. "The committee can provide expert guidance to address the lessons learned over the past four years of the siting law and the comments expressed during the listening sessions that were held earlier this year on the law and rule."
The 16 experts appointed by Nilsestuen come from both public and private sectors, and possess expertise similar to that of the group who assisted with the livestock siting rule development in 2004. In addition to expertise in the areas of permitting livestock operations, air emissions, odor, nutrient management, runoff management, and agricultural engineering, the committee has members with expertise in areas such as land use planning.
The committee will review the current siting standards to ensure they provide for responsible growth of an operation while correctly balancing other considerations such as public health and safety. Specifically, the committee will consider the following standards in light of the latest research, field experience and other factors:
- Livestock structures and their location on the property which would include structural and manure storage setbacks from property lines.
- Odor and air emissions including an assessment of odor credits for structures and manure handling practices.
- Nutrient management which includes identifying required documentation within the nutrient management plan.
- Waste storage facilities as well as clarifying waste generation calculations.
- Runoff management including the consideration of federal standards for controlling leachate from stored feed.
- Determining the completeness of the application materials for a siting permit.
The appointments to the Technical Expert Committee are:
- Tom Bauman, agricultural runoff management coordinator, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
- Dave Buss, private sector nutrient management consultant, Waterloo
- Patricia Cicero, Jefferson County resource management specialist
- Jeff Endres, farmer experienced with nutrient management and land use planning, Town of Springfield, Dane County
- Dennis Frame, co-director, Discovery Farms Program
- Jerry Halverson, Manitowoc County conservationist
- Brian Holmes, professor, biological systems engineering, University of Wisconsin – Madison
- Carrie A.M. Laboski, soil science professor, University of Wisconsin – Madison
- Michael A. McGinley, consultant and national expert in odor evaluation, Lake Elmo, Minn.
- Pat Murphy, state resource conservationist, USDA Natural Resources Conversation Service (NRCS)
- Ed Odgers, chief of conservation engineering, DATCP
- Dean Perlick, Dodge Planning & Economic Development
- John M. Roach, professional engineer, Roach & Associates, LLC, Seymour
- Robert L. Thiboldeaux, toxicologist, Wisconsin Department of Health Services
- Jeffery Voltz, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources representative from the Cooperative Environmental Assistance program
- Richard Wagner, engineer and co-owner of Quantum Dairy, Weyauwega
The committee will be co-managed by DATCP staff Ed Odgers and Richard Castelnuovo.
The committee will be assisted in its work by advisors including John Ramsden, NRCS State Conservation Engineer; Andrew Craig, DNR Nutrient Management Specialist; Larry Jacobson, Professor and Extension Engineer, University of Minnesota; and Mark Powell, professor, Department of Soil Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The committee will hold their first meeting in July.
To be included on a mailing list for updates on the work of the technical expert committee or for information about the committee, contact Mike Murray, livestock siting specialist, (608) 224-4613 or email@example.com.

Why People Don't Go to SXSW
On the subject of tech conferences and why / when they're worth going to, Michael at Cruftbox has listed a few reasons why he won't travel to Austin this year for SXSW, making the argument that it's now more of a business conference than a conference for individuals. Naturally a lot of this evolution stems from the event's growth over time, and expansion beyond the initial idea around connecting people and ideas. That said, there's a valid argument being made for what the individual stands to gain from such a multi-directional approach to conferences as we commonly know them.
I've said this for the last three or so years – if you want to get the most out of SXSW Interactive and really connect to individuals and ideas, and have meaningful conversations, that's up to you, not the event – for better or for worse.

Instead of taking the common, studio-influenced route and making an indie trailer with dancing sequences and hand drawn fonts, Nick Offerman put together a hilarious promo video to announce that his movie Somebody Up There Likes Me will be distributed by Tribeca Film. The clip features Offerman, his wife Megan Mullaly and NBC buddy Alison Brie talking and getting high. Check it out.
Somebody Up There Likes Me is directed by Bob Byington and debuted at SXSW this spring. The movie got positive reactions and you can actually see the festival's official trailer on YouTube. Recently Tribeca Film picked up the distribution rights to the film and will be releasing it both digitally and in theaters in the spring of 2013.
Somebody Up There Likes Me tells the story of best friends Max (Keith Poulson) and Sal (Offerman) as they deal with life and their shared love of the same girl (Jess Weixler).
In the promo video below, Offerman tries hard to remember the details of his movie (when you can see it, who released it, etc) while getting high off a bong with his wife and Brie. It's hilarious and best of all, it's different than most promo clips we usually get to see. This one will stick with you. See it below:
What do you think? Wasn't this more fun than a conventional indie trailer?
