I understand the appeal of yearender lists. The High Fidelity fan in me appreciates how ranking culture is like sport for people who hate sport, but writing them is nerve wracking. A year is a long time, and it is super easy to miss something big that happened in early January and feels aeons ago. Ranking a defined number of things is relatively easy for me, (Buffy seasons, from best to worst: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 4, 1) but when I am picking from the huge swath of "things that happened over the last 8766 hours" I get a little more panicky.
My favourite part about tech writing changes with every blog, but it generally fits into two extremes: praising something excellent or getting angry about companies being asshats to consumers. I went with the latter with this post, the headline was sanitised, but here are the top three dick moves of 2012.
1) Apple Maps. From the rare apology, the departure of one of their rising stars, the parody blog, the endangered Australians, to the applauded return of Google Maps to iOS, this one has been a nightmare for Apple that the most valuable company in the world probably shouldn't be susceptible to. Yes, Google wasn't offering them the full maps package, yes, it is their ecosystem to do with what they will, but they still made a product significantly worse for users, intentionally.
2) Twitter killing it's own ecosystem. I may have been calling out Instagram just the other week, but as API changes go, Twitter's were even worse. Essentially, they crippled third party Twitter clients, especially new ones, seeking to draw users to their official offerings, as well as disabling "friend finder" services that used Twitter in other apps. This makes sense from a 'delivering ads' standpoint, but these clients helped build Twitter into what it is - this was a sucker punch, pure and simple. Not only that, it hurts users in a very obvious way - for example - Twitter haven't gotten around to developing a Windows 8 app. Fair enough, not a huge userbase and they can't invest time everywhere, but someone has made a fairly good one, called Tweetro - only it has reached it's limit of 100k users and now can't add any more. Even without an official alternative, Twitter is actively hurting third party clients.
3) Google screwing with its search results. I've always believed in the sancitity of Google results. Sure, there were ads on the side, but the main results were untampered with, unless you were looking for child porn or something. Google has started forcing Google + results into your search's, while not adding "social" links from any of it's rivals. Integrating social results was in general a good idea, one they had going quite well before Twitter stopped letting them (grr), but only chucking your own network's stuff in there is pretty goddamn cunning.
There are of course, many other dick moves pulled in tech. I haven't even touched the abomination that is modern day DLC in video games, or Facebook's rigged attempt at appearing democratic, Windows Phone 7.8, or the wide variety of flawed internet governance plans that have made headlines over the last little while. What has struck you as particularly mean spirited this year?

Get urgent $ 600 wepayusa Sacramento California within 1 hour Get $700 tonight fast wire transfer. You can also apply fast $ 300 new pay usa Arlington, TX within 1 hour .
Payday cash loans are once you borrow money from the lender, and they also recuperate their funds. The charges are additional,and curiosity instantly from your after that salary. Basically, you spend additional to obtain your salary early. When this could be at times very convenient in a few scenarios, neglecting to shell out them back has critical consequences. Read on to discover no matter if, or not payday cash loans are right for you.
While searching for a payday advance vender, investigate whether they really are a immediate loan provider or an indirect financial institution. Immediate loan companies are loaning you their particular capitol, whereas an indirect loan company is in the role of a middleman. The service is possibly every bit as good, but an indirect lender has to get their lower as well. This means you spend a higher rate of interest.
Make an effort to reduce your usage of payday advance solutions to individuals strictly advised to you by someone actually. Going to a total stranger for money can actually leave you vulnerable, so question friends who they will often consider and likewise, discuss good information you might have with other people to keep them on the right path as well.
People who want to obtain a payday loan would be a good idea to exhaust all of the other alternatives prior to choosing to do so. Payday cash loans price an arm as well as a lower-leg in fascination and really should only be used as a last resort. Look for another way to get some cash first.
Be extremely careful in regards to the company that gives your cash with the pay day loan. Search online for evaluations before you sign anything. If there are a variety of bad testimonials or unfavorable push in regards to the business, you should look at looking to an additional provider for that loan. You do not desire to be tied to a company that will not look out for the best passions.
Steer clear of taking out several cash advance at one time. It is against the law to take out several pay day loan from the exact same salary. Another problem is, the inability to pay back several different financial loans from a variety of loan companies, from just one salary. If you fail to reimburse the financing punctually, the charges, and fascination carry on and boost.
When trying to get a cash advance, you need to by no means wait to inquire about concerns. When you are confused about something, especially, it is actually your obligation to ask for clarification. This will help you be aware of the stipulations of the personal loans so that you won't have any unwanted surprises.
If you think that you are being treated unlawfully, or unfairly by your payday loan provider, be sure that you document a criticism with your express company. Unless you file a complaint, the borrowed funds company will likely be able to keep on functioning in a unlawful manner. They can even use physical violence, in order to get their cash back from you.
Make certain you study and recognize all the fine print before you agree to a payday loan. There can be numerous secret costs or expenses on these lending options that can soon add up to hundreds of dollars in added repayments. By checking out completely upfront of these fees, you are able to stay away from needing to pay much more about the loan.
Be discerning in that you inform you are obtaining a payday advance. A lot of maintain a very adverse look at the marketplace, and may also appearance down on you for having to deal with a paycheck loan provider. You have adequate tension as it is in a pay day loan, so do not boost it.
When you get the first payday loan, ask for a low cost. Most payday advance places of work provide a charge or rate low cost for initially-time individuals. In case the place you would like to use from fails to give a low cost, get in touch with about. If you discover a reduction someplace else, the money place, you would like to visit will likely match it to obtain your business.
Consider beyond the container when it comes to paying back your payday advance as quickly as you can. Are available possibilities you can now use that possibly were unavailable prior to taking the bank loan? Are there household or buddies you may get in touch with to borrow funds? Can you get yourself a lower interest personal loan by placing a high-worth product it is possible to in the short term live without in the pawn store? Pay back the pay day loan as quickly as you are able to.
As mentioned at first of the report, there is more to obtaining a payday loan than only simply being give money between paychecks. As you now have see the over article, you might be knowledgeable ample about online payday loans. Now you can make the most efficient judgements probable, for you personally particular case.

By the end I felt like I lived in something amazing!!!!!
This is the second novel I have read by Addison Allen - her debut GARDEN SPELLS was also very good. Her writing has an element of magic realism in them - at the centre of the plot is a very human story about relationships, betrayal, love and forgiveness, whilst at the same time there is the touch of magic to make the book a little less ordinary. Recommended for those who like their literature with a touch of sweetness!
Josey Cirrini is trapped in an enormous house in North Carolina, having to care for her overbearing wicked mother. Unable to enjoy her life, she finds comfort in travel magazines, romance novels and tonnes of candy that she hides inside a secret closet in her room. Across town, Chloe Finley is trying to pick up the pieces after her unfaithful boyfriend left her heartbroken and alone. Chloe had invested everything in her relationship and lost herself in the process, now her only comfort and guide are the books that magically appear when she needs them. These two lonely, broken young women are brought together by Della Lee Baker, a strange woman who mysteriously appears inside Josey's secret closet and stubbornly refuses to leave, until she helps them turn their lives around and discover themselves.
Once again Sarah Addison Allen delivers an excellently written coming of age story with a touch of magic. Her lonely and defeated characters discover themselves and overcome their insecurities and social conventions, in order to find love and happiness. The plot is well developed with beautiful descriptions and likable characters. What is really great in this unconventional fairytale for grownups is that like in life there are no heroes and villains; the unfaithful boyfriend is just as heartbroken and the wicked mother is really an insecure woman with a sad past.
The element of magic in the book, like in all of the author's novels, is enough to enrich the story and remind the reader of the magic that exists in life, without making it a fantasy or science fiction novel.Read more ›
Josey Cirrini isn't the typical Southern belle. For one thing, she's completely under her overpowering mother's thumb. Friendless Josey also hides stockpiles of candy and romance paperbacks in her closet, where a local waitress with a troubled life has decided to seek shelter, simultaneously blackmailing her into the bargain. Just when you thought Josey's life couldn't get any more complicated, her mailman, who she's been secretly in love with for three years, happens to find out the feelings she's been harbouring for him...
This is a wonderful read with so many stories entwined in one. The characters are all depicted so well and you feel like you end up knowing them- in particular Chloe, Josey's new friend, who has a particular affinity with books (they magically appear out of thin air trying to tell her things- love it!) and Adam, Josey's love interest. Josey is a heroine you'll end up cheering for and wanting to come out on top whilst admiring her loyalty and determination. If you're a fan of Cecilia Ahern or Christina Jones then you'll undoubtedly love this book.
I bought this book because I had nothing better to read at that time and I had already read "garden spells" and thought: why not?? (Although if a book doesn't have vampires, witches, werewolves etc in it, I consider it unworthy of my time...). But from the moment I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! And I didn't! I read it in one afternoon... The part where Josey describes her first kiss with Adam is the most magical description of a first kiss I have ever read!!! Heaven!!!

For over 25 years, pianist Cedar Walton has enjoyed an uptempo career, which never seems to slow down. Maintaining a non-stop itinerary, Walton has accompanied a litany of Jazz greats while also fronting his own successful groups. Born January 17, 1934 in Dallas, Texas, Walton set his sights on a career in music at an early age. An after- hours gig at the Denver Club introduced him to notable musicians like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and John Coltrane, who would sit in with Walton's group when they passed through town.Read more

Less than three weeks after his stunning victory in the Iowa caucus, Barack Obama is facing a clear loss of faith from voters in his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.
He didn't just lose this weekend's Nevada caucus: he was thoroughly outflanked by Hillary Clinton. She won more than twice as many Latino voters – a key demographic – and attracted more union votes, even though the biggest unions officially support Senator Obama. Not only did the Clinton campaign put him on the ropes, it routed John Edwards, who plummeted to less than 4 per cent of the vote and must seriously question how long he carries on in the race.
Mr Obama now faces the steepest of political hills if he is to survive Super Tuesday on 5 February. For now, he remains well ahead in South Carolina, where Democrats vote next Saturday. But his support is weak among white voters there, as it is in the South generally. The shifting momentum of the primaries battle risks losing him a lot of African Americans as well as they retain a residual affection for all things Clinton.
Without a thumping victory in South Carolina, Mr Obama will be ill-equipped to reverse the emerging trends for Super Tuesday, where he trails Senator Clinton in the two biggest states, New York and California, and has no major advantage in the others aside from his home state, Illinois.
So why the shift in momentum? Antonio Villaraigosa, the Mayor of Los Angeles, who was in Nevada to campaign for Ms Clinton, had one explanation: "All three candidates are very attractive, but she's the one who stands the best chance of winning in November. I'm worried the Republicans would just rip Obama apart, especially on national security."
Many rank-and-file voters who attended the caucuses appeared to agree – seeing in Hillary Clinton a woman with the toughness and the determination to face down the Republican attack machine and strong-arm Congress into enacting a presidential agenda.
Whether or not they like her realpolitik approach – the reason many Democrats distrust or dislike her – has become only a secondary consideration.
Mr Obama demonstrated a marked lack of toughness on the campaign trail in Nevada, never more so than during last Tuesday's televised debate, when he gave an honest answer to the question of what his greatest weakness was. He was, he said, terrible with paperwork, and then looked hurt when the others held his answer against him.
Nobody doubts he is a sincere guy, but that may no longer be a plus point, especially since his campaign pitch appears so long on inspiring rhetoric and so short on substance.
"By promising 'new politics'," The Boston Globe wrote yesterday, "Obama has staked a claim on the passions of Democratic voters. But there are signs his cry for change may be sounding hollow or, worse, like a typical political slogan."

Happy New Year, everyone!
One highlight of the day for Maureen and I was watching The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra with conductor Gustavo Dudamel live on BBC2, 11:15am – 12:45pm. What a fantastic concert! We were blown away.
But earlier, beneath the twinkling lights of our wee Christmas tree, I flipped open a copy of Twin Dakotas: poetry and prose, my debut collection published by Cestrian Press last year, and re-read a short poem that rather tugged my heartstrings. Here it is…
I could do it,
I could walk along the pole,
the old telegraph pole
that lay on the ground.
Arms wide for balance,
one foot gingerly placed
in front of the other,
grandchildren following,
I could walk along the pole,
the old telegraph pole on the ground.
Half-covered in moss
and fallen leaf,
the pole is rotten now,
yet still I glimpse
their nimble spirits
Paul Beech
My very best to you all for 2017.

I was much saddened to learn that Cynthia Jobin, the American poet, passed away on 13th December 2016. Regular readers of this blog will know that Cynthia often commented on my posts here in a most thoughtful and supportive way.
I was an avid follower of her own brilliant blog, "littleoldladywho", and posted my final comment early this morning. Here it is:
Sitting quietly with the sun not yet risen, I think of Cynthia, whose poetry and friendship have meant so much to me since discovering her blog two-and-a-half years ago.
With her wide vocabulary and mastery of form, her humanity, humour and skill in painting pictures in the mind, Cynthia was a most amazing and versatile poet. Her finely-wrought work was not only entertaining but deeply moving and thought-provoking too, playful and profound by turns, even sometimes inviting contemplation of the great mysteries.
We have to be thankful for the beautiful poetry Cynthia left behind for us to treasure; thankful for her friendship too, the warm, lively friendship she showed towards each of us individually who made up her online community. Our world is surely the richer because of her.
In quiet moments like this, when I might have been responding to her latest poem or replying to one of her wonderful comments on my own blog, I will remember "littleoldladywho".
My sincere condolences to her family.

Trawling through my files this morning I came across a couple of wee poems written for a poetry trail that didn't happen in the end. The proposed trail was for an autumn festival at an historic country home in Wales and the brief was to write family-friendly four-line poems relevant to the venue. I would have enjoyed writing more but it wasn't to be on this occasion. Oh well, I thought I'd give my poems an airing anyway, my wee poems from the lost trail…
Beyond the Great Hall he hovers,
broad wings, spread tail, cat-like mew.
A small movement in the bracken below.
Now he drops like a stone.
Under a full moon
the coachman reins in at the Great Hall
and a proud figure alights.
The Squire is safely home again.
Happy Christmas, everyone!

Maureen and I recently enjoyed our Chester Poets Christmas bash at a canalside pub in Chester called The Lock Keeper. After the meal we sat in a circle and took turns to read poems, which Kemal Houghton (our Chairman) recorded for broadcast on Vintage Radio's Poetry Roundup programme over the Christmas weekend – he's the presenter. The show will air on the internet (www.vintageradio.org.uk) on Christmas Eve 7-8pm and Christmas Day 10–11am, if you fancy tuning in.
My set included the triolet below written following a brother's winter visit some years ago. The steeple in question belonged to St John the Evangelist's Church in Winsford, Cheshire.
Hope you're all well on with your festive preparations and looking forward to the big day. Maureen and I are having an especially busy time of it as we're in the throes of moving from our wee flat in Shotton to a retirement bungalow a mile up the Dee Estuary from here, in Connah's Quay, and aiming to enjoy our Christmas dinner there, beneath a well decorated tree with twinkling lights.
Very best wishes to you all.
Landmark, lifemark, the steeple of St John's.
Pausing, we hear the bells faintly in snow.
Down the chill river, destiny beckons.

Tramping the valley top, me and my Bro.

I thought it was about time for another short story, so here goes.
Although fiction, I did attend a private grammar school in Bolton, Lancashire, back in the 50s/60s…
By Paul Beech
Bates and Fisher were best friends until one day during the Autumn Term when, at the tuck shop, they fell in love with the same girl.
Janet from the class below was not exactly pretty but had a quiet aura that appealed somehow.
She offered them each a sherbet lemon and both accepted with thanks. Fisher gave her a chunk of cinder toffee in return but Bates, reaching deep in his pockets, turned crimson. He had only a couple of bob left for bus fares.
He pulled out a coin but Janet stilled his hand. "No, don't leave yourself short," she whispered. "It doesn't matter. Not at all." Her brown-eyed smile nearly dropped him on the spot.
Fisher might ordinarily have given Bates a chunk of cinder toffee too but didn't this time.
They managed not to speak of Janet for nearly a week. They did have a scrap in the Boys' Locker Room with Fisher forced to submit, but this was all in good sport, as many times before, no malice in it at all.
Then out of the blue Fisher said, "I don't get it. I'm the brighter one, better looking by far, more manly too. So why's it always you, Bates? Always you Janet makes eyes at when she thinks I'm not looking? It's not fair."
Bates, suddenly flushed, shook his chum by the lapels. "My dad lost an arm in the war. He cannot drive. Yours ponces about in a Bentley. Is that fair, Fisher? And what d'you mean, 'more manly?'"
The final straw was the note. It was slipped to Bates by Janet's friend Elspeth after lunch.
Darling, how it pains me every time to see you at a distance, wanting you so, your arms around me, your kiss. Please ring – you have my number. Let's meet again soon.
Your loving Janet xxx
Fisher sneaked the note from Bates' blazer pocket as they climbed the spiral staircase to the Geography Room.
"You dog," he said, and Bates kicked him back down.
It was bloody. And exercise with a medicine ball should never be that. But Bates and Fisher were not in the Gym to improve their upper-body strength. No, at the final bell they'd headed straight down to settle the score between them. It would be a dual, their chosen weapon PICKLES 3, the heaviest medicine ball on the rack.
Fisher was the taller, the stronger, but with his left ankle swollen from the kick it was an unequal contest. After many a dirty throw from Bates, he now lay gasping on the floor, blood bubbling from his nose, with Janet bent over him sobbing.
She turned to Bates with hate-filled eyes. "How could you?"
Fifty years on, an ageing jazz musician in America found a vintage medicine ball for sale on the internet. It was British, well stuffed, marked PICKLES 3 in fading white paint, and he bought it for $160. His name was Bates.

Since publishing my first collection, Twin Dakotas, in August, I've felt in the mood to experiment a little with my poetry.
I love the ancient Japanese short poetry forms haiku (focussing on nature) and senryu (similar but focussing on human nature). Purists would probably have a fit, but I thought it might be fun to combine senryu and haiku in alternation as stanzas in a longer poem. And in the following, written in September from observations in Connah's Quay and Flint, just down the Dee Estuary from my home here in Shotton, this is just what I did.
I'll leave it to you to decide whether the experiment was successful! Have a nice Sunday, everyone.

A couple of things…
My review of the Burwardsley Mini Folk Festival, posted here six days ago, was published yesterday (29th October 2016) with a lovely photograph of St. John's Church on a wonderful local website, Tattenhall Online, and received many hits. I'm delighted of course – thrilled, if I'm honest!
The mini folk fest, Burwardsley's first and a hugely enjoyable community event to be sure, raised a whacking £767.40 for repairs to St. John's Church. A great success by any reckoning. Kudos to Pam Moyle for organising it.
Have a nice Sunday, everyone.

About this product
- DescriptionIn the 1960s Jimmy Evans was one of Britain's leading safe-blowers, his own boss in an era when London's underworld was dominated by parasitical gangs such as the Krays and Richardsons. He had gang affiliations, yet the Kray Twins respected him and treated him as an equal. To Jimmy they were just 'Mickey Mouse Mobsters'. In 1964 Jimmy's world fell apart. He discovered that his wife was having an affair with George Foreman, brother of the torious gangland killer, Freddie Foreman. Caring thing for 'Brown Bread' Fred's lethal reputation, Jimmy shotgunned George at his front door, depriving him of his manhood. Among the criminal fraternity this should have been accepted as a 'crime passionelle', but instead Freddie Foreman embarked on a bloody 10 year vendetta that embraced murder, assassination and arson. Foreman exploited his corrupt relationship with two leading Scotland Yard detectives who were his handlers, protectors and friends. As a result Jimmy was falsely branded 'Jack The Stripper', the perpetuator of the infamous 'Nude Murders'.
- Author BiographyMartin Short is a successful writer, journalist and TV producer. His book Inside The Brotherhood (1989) was an international best-seller and in 1991 his book Lundy: The Destruction of Scotland Yard's Finest Detective was short-listed for the Crime Writers' Gold Dagger award. His other publications include Crime Inc. (1984), The Krays Lieutenant: The Biography of Albert Donoghue (1995), Informer (1997) and he was co-author of The Fall of Scotland Yard (1977). He recently produced and presented the ITV documentary Godfathers which examined organised crime in Britain.

Is time travel just a confusing plot device deployed by science fiction authors and Hollywood filmmakers to amaze and amuse? Or might empirical data prompt a scientific hypothesis of time travel? Structured on a fascinating dialogue involving a distinguished physicist, Dr. Rufus, a physics graduate student and a computer scientist this book probes an experimentally supported hypothesis of backwards time travel – and in so doing addresses key metaphysical issues, such as causation, identity over time and free will.
The setting is the Jefferson National Laboratory during a period of five days in 2010. Dr. Rufus's experimental search for the psi-lepton and the resulting intractable data spurs the discussion on time travel. She and her two colleagues are pushed by their observations to address the grandfather paradox and other puzzles about backwards causation, with attention also given to causal loops, multi-dimensional time, and the prospect that only the present exists. Sensible solutions to the main puzzles emerge, ultimately advancing the case for time travel really being possible.
A Time Travel Dialogue addresses the possibility of time travel, approaching familiar paradoxes in a rigorous, engaging, and fun manner. It follows in the long philosophical tradition of using dialogue to present philosophical ideas and arguments, but is ground breaking in its use of the dialogue format to introduce readers to the metaphysics of time travel, and is also distinctive in its use of lab results to drive philosophical analysis. The discussion of data that might decide whether time is one-dimensional (one timeline) or multi -dimensional (branching time) is especially novel.
