Ethnic Russian players playing for the others

In team Belarus there are a lot of naturalized Russians. Just sayin
We (I mean Latvia) also have some ethnic Russian prospects like last year's 2nd round draft pick Teodors Bļugers, or Edgars Kulda who plays in WHL, Nikolajs Jeļisējevs who plays for HK Rīga or this guy:
but these are all born in Latvia, have at least started to learn hockey in Latvia and in some cases one might even not immediately recognize that they are of Russian ethnicity due to intermarriage and stuff.
Of course after the collapse of the Soviet Union we had a lot of ethnic Russians (not born in Latvia) playing for our team but thankfully we didn't start to ''import'' players later as I personally am against raising the level of NT with Canadian, Russian, American or other imports. I'm even doubtful about Ainārs Podziņ, as he is of Latvian ethnicity but has had very limited if actually 0 ties to the country and its hockey system. But as he is a Latvian if he wants he should have ability to fight for the spot on the NT imho.

64-year-old Grandma holds man for Volusia County deputies
Published On: Wed Jan 25 09:16:30 CST 2012 Updated On: Wed Jan 25 18:55:28 CST 2012
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A 64-year-old Daytona Beach woman stopped a suspected drug dealer in his tracks -- with the aid of her gun.
Roderick Willis, 22, was arrested Tuesday on charges fleeing a law enforcement officer and possession of a controlled substance.
Volusia County Sheriff's deputies said Willis dumped a stolen rental car in her driveway after leading them on a chase through two cities.
According to deputies, an officer spotted a Dodge Charger traveling about 90 mph and began to follow the vehicle.
Deputies said the vehicle sped away and the driver later pulled into a driveway in the 900 block of Redwood Street.
Karen Granville, a grandmother who lives at the house, said she had grabbed her gun when she heard a police helicopter overhead at 3 a.m. She said she then heard the car pull into the driveway and someone running toward the back of her house, according to deputies.
Granville said she opened her door and saw a man running toward her, so she yelled, "Stop right there (expletive) or you're going to be dead where you stand," according to a deputy report.
"My adrenaline was pumping so fast I kept it up up and up," Granville said.
Granville said she's never had to use her gun before, but she was prepared to.
"Whatever he did, I figured he shot a cop or something. I didn't know at the time, so I wasn't taking any chances," Granville said.
Instead of hiding, she said she grabbed her gun off her nightstand, went out in her backyard and aimed.
"I said you move and I will shoot you," Granville said. "He said 'Please, please, please don't shoot me' -- he put his hands over his head and I said 'you moved, I said don't you move.'"
Granville says she's never seen a criminal so relieved to see deputies rush in.
"I heard somebody running and he says 'There's the police, there's the police there's the police.'"
Deputies said more than $1,700 dollars was found on Willis and cocaine, marijuana and vodka were found located in the vehicle.
Willis bonded out of jail Wednesday.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...... that's downright funny. She meant business, and he was glad the calvary arrived to save him.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
I saw the article also, and while I am impressed with her spunk, this is not a good example. She intervened in a situation she did not know all of the details of, went outside of her home and drew a weapon on a fleeing individual who did not pose at the time any threat to her. These scenarios have been covered many times here, and the consensus is that you do not pull a gun and butt into a situation in which you are not threatened. What if he had turned towards her or just kept trying to flee? Would she have shot him? If the answer is no, then she had no business drawing a weapon as it violates the second law of gun safety. If yes, then she would be in aworld of trouble from a criminal and certainly a civil liability standpoint.
I understand the emotional appeal of her actions, but not the logical one.
I'd rather be lucky than good any day

Hope he has no intentions of visiting Granny again now that he's bailed out.........I'd be lookin behind me and lockin' the doors.
It could be worse!
I suppose
Happy it ended ok, but she should not have gone outside. If he tried to enter the house, BANG.

Sir Gawain and the Classical Tradition: Essays on the Ancient Antecedents

Januar 2006
BeschreibungThe 14th century English alliterative poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is admired for its morally complex plot and brilliant poetics. Although the poem is a combination of English alliterative meter, romanticism, Celtic lore, continental materials and Latin classics, the extent to which Classical antecedents affected the poem is a point of continued controversy among literary scholars. This collection of essays by scholars of diverse interests addresses this puzzling and fascinating question. The introduction provides an expansive background for the topic, and subsequent essays explore the extent to which classical Greek, Roman, Arabic, Christian and Celtic influences are revealed in the poem's opening and closing allusions, themes, and composition. Essays discuss the way in which the anonymous author of Sir Gawain employs figural echoes of classical materials, cultural memoirs of past British tradition, and romantic re-textualizations of Trojan and British literature.

She meets 12 handsome wealthy guys who are also popular. However after a exclusive photo shoot, Minah's and the boys' popularity start to get out of hand. This forces the head teacher to put them in their own special private class, that is strictly only for them. In the class she becomes closer to the 12 guys and that soon blossoms into a strong friendship. They all end up falling for her, but who will she choose?

News : City Council's Capita Contract Will be Published
Jan 10, 2014 -- The controversial IT and call centre contract between Birmingham City Council and Capita will be published following a petition.
Council leader Sir Albert Bore confirmed that he is pushing for the outsourcing deal to be published 'sooner rather than later'.
The council has been paying Capita each year, much of it on an IT contract which runs until 2020.
But critics claim the contract is a poor deal for taxpayers at a time of austerity.
Economist David Bailey last month launched a petition calling for the contract to be published online - and it has so far been signed by 278 people.
But quizzed over the petition Labour leader Sir Albert Bore said the work was already under way and had been for several months.
He said: "I don't know why there's currently a petition on this issue. A redacted version of the Capita contract is being prepared for publication.
"That decision was taken several months ago and announced by the chief executive."
He said that lawyers for both the City Council and Capita are pouring over the contract to agree what should be made public - with areas of commercial confidentiality likely to be withheld. "I can't give a date, but I want it sooner rather than later," he said.
Governance scrutiny committee chairman Carl Rice suggested that there could be a long wait. "Lawyers charge by the hour," he said.
But petitioners and councillors were unaware of any announcement, believed to have been made by chief executive Stephen Hughes in a radio interview last autumn.
One councillor who signed the petition, Philip Parkin (Cons, Sutton Trinity) said: "Shame they didn't tell anyone."
The City Council last month announced it was considering walking away from the contract unless Capita negotiates a cut in the costs.
Next year's draft budget allows for a cut in the core IT deal.
But officials are working out the cost of cancellation and setting up in house or alternate supplier to ensure the best deal for the taxpayer.

If you are going to be viewing reports related to AD RMS, you must also install the .NET Framework 3.5
On Server Core installations, the optional Identity Federation Support role service for the AD RMS server role is not supported. This is because Identity Federation Support relies on a role service of the AD FS Server role, the Claims-aware Agent, which is disabled on Server Core installations
Windows Server 2012 also includes the following feature updates, which have been added recently as updates for the AD RMS role in Windows Server 2008 R2.
– Simple delegation : Simple delegation for AD RMS enables you to have the same access rights to protected content that are assigned to one person delegated to other individuals within their organization
Simple delegation provides the ability to have content rights assigned to executives and managers be easily and effectively delegated to their assistants.wo attributes, msRMSDelegator and msRMSDelegatorBL must be added to the Active Directory schema
– Strong cryptography : enables you to increase the cryptographic strength of your AD RMS deployment by running in an advanced mode known as cryptographic mode

I encourage you also to download Windows Server 2012, install it and test it as much as you can because there are some questions where you need to have already manipulate User Interface or command.

She was going to go post-human, but forgot to buy the stamps.
Wendy makes websites, games and terrible jokes.
Choose a category to view her latest updates.
No one knows who you are.
You've never spoken at a conference, published a book, or been quoted in a news story.
And, look, over there: a bunch of intelligent people you admire deeply are discussing something you're interested in. People you've seen at conferences. People who wrote the books you read. People whose careers you follow and choices you respect.
Clever, funny, caring people. And the only barrier to you becoming part of the conversation they're having, is the quality of what you have to say (and really, you can just listen if you want, that's fine too).
This is one of the things that first drew me to the internet in the 90s, and still draws me to it today.
The internet has been around for a good while now. Sometimes it's easy to take it for granted. Sometimes it's easy to get deflated by unpleasant people making it their tool for unpleasant activities. Sometimes it's easy to pine for simpler times, when you had a blog but no one had come up with a term for that yet, and the internet still felt like a secret garden where people like you would gather and be dorks together.
But it's still there, underneath all that other stuff. That wonderful power that lets you step back from being an age group, a gender, an ethnicity, a job, an income bracket, a location, a nationality, a height, a weight, a wardrobe. Where you can be, first and foremost, a human, shaping the core of your online interactions to align precisely with who you are. And you can be judged by the quality of your words and ideas, before all those other things (sometimes).
It's why I remember initially being quietly dismissive of people who used real photos of themselves for their Livejournal icons, back in the day. Because, why just take a photo of yourself, when you can choose from anything in the entire world to represent what you are?
Hey, I get it, now - and I use a photo of myself on my professional/web-talk Twitter account - just as I use a photo of a goofy smiling puffer fish for my personal/comedy Twitter account, and a cranky snail character for my game dev account, and... so on. Different channels, different focus, different conversations. But combined, they all amount to me.
The internet continues to evolve. It's not the place it was, but, the place it was isn't gone. And here, we can still have meaningful conversations with, and learn from, brilliant, wonderful people. I can (I hope) pay it forward, help other people the way they've helped me. There's more people going about their business online now, but, the good conversations are still here. The playful experimentation with new technologies and ideas is still here. Maybe you have to wade through more You'll Never Believe What Happens Nexts to get to them, but they are.
I want to see more access to quality education for all, more opportunity for everyone to learn and explore and joke and find out what your humanity looks like when you can choose your own face. And we can still do it. We still have the technology.
I hate paper and I love paper.
I love paper. I still have a stack of fancy notebooks purchased in the previous decade, sitting in a box, waiting for me to actually need them.
I have terrible penmanship but I love pens. I buy mine from overseas, because there's one brand of ballpoint pen that just flows and writing with anything else seems clunky. Also, it comes in brown, so I feel like Ye Olde Magistrate when I scribble something illegible on a form.
I love stickers. I have stickers left over from when I was in highschool, a period of my life so long past it feels like it happened to someone else. I had penpals, then. Penpals I could communicate with through a combination of laboriously inscribed teenage insights, carefully curated sticker montages and 40 cent postage stamps.
But. I hate paper.
Every few months, I have to give up a few hours of my weekend to laboriously sift through it. Oh, look, an expired voucher. Huh, I seem to have written a new story idea down here... but I can't read anything other than "but he secretly is a candy-induced hallucination". Oooh, I'd better scan that receipt in case I need it in the next two years...
My paper management system leaves something to be desired, but when it comes to digital management? All over that. Last week, one of my party members on HabitRPG (more on that later) asked what tools people used to manage their tasks as a whole. Here's my current system, which is constantly evolving but generally serves me pretty well.
I recently stumbled across this article on Australia's new Digital Technologies curriculum at The Conversation.
I was considering writing a reply to it here, when I scrolled down to find a brilliant comment from Bruce Fuda that I really think deserves highlighting. Re-posting with Bruce's permission here. Bruce writes:
As an IT teacher who has the skills and knowledge to deliver this curriculum, I get a little bit frustrated about some of the ongoing concerns people keep expressing with the curriculum, largely because I feel like many of the criticisms are being made with underlying assumptions in place that need to be challenged.
The Digital Technologies curriculum does not insist that students become programmers - at least no more so that the English curriculum insists they become authors, the Mathematics curriculum insists they become mathematicians or the Science curriculum insists they become Scientists.
Many of the same arguments and/or questions about the relevance of some of the content included can be asked about other learning areas - such as the need for students to understand stem-and-leaf plots in Mathematics, or the structure of multi-cellular organisms. Look at all of the curriculum documents (and it is important we differentiate the curriculum from a syllabus - they are different things) and you'll find that if it really came down to it, you could question the inclusion of many of the skills and/or understandings that the writers in each area have decided to focus on.
That aside, the other major consternation people have about it all is the time / crowded nature of the curriculum, however this all comes about because many commentators still insist on looking at the subjects as being independent of one another. We look at the Science curriculum and then, at school, we teach kids Science. We do the same with Maths, English... Why? How many times in the real world do we look at a problem and say "oh, that's a problem that can only be solved by mathematics, I'm not going to consider any of my scientific or social understanding to come up with an answer"?
The curriculum has been written with the interdependence and relationships between the learning areas in mind - or at least that is my understanding. We talk about falling levels of literacy and numeracy, and then argue that this is a case for eliminating non-critical subjects from the learning of students? Surely the reason they are not engaging with school has to do with the fact that the way they are being taught isn't working for them? It is possible to teach many numeracy and literacy concepts using much of what has been included in the Digital Technologies curriculum. Similarly, you can teach programming within the context of mathematics, algorithms as recipes in a kitchen, and data representation as an exploration of pattern recognition and language translation.
To simply look at the fact that programming has been included in the curriculum and then dismiss it due to the fact that not every kid needs to be a programmer completely fails to recognise the importance of logical reasoning and the methodical development of algorithmic solutions when faced with complex problems - a critical skill that can be developed through learning computational thinking. Not every student will end up being a mathematician, so why do they need to know about polynomials and parabolas?
And I also don't think it is sufficient to argue that a lack of trained teachers is reason enough for the subject to be relegated to a position of less importance. The curriculum should be both aspirational and intended - it is up to schools, society and teacher-training programs to find reasons to encourage people with the skills and knowledge required to teach the curriculum to consider joining the profession. The same argument would not be applied to any other learning area - we would never say that not having enough English teachers would be reason enough to stop teaching English, would we?
The use of technology for the "thrill" of using it is fine - I've got no problem with people making use of the great technology available to better their lives etc. But accepting technology as "magic" is not acceptable in the longer-term if we want to continue to develop as a society. Would we be where we are today if we had simply accepted the idea that rain just happened and didn't instead seek out a reason for it? We have the technology that we have today because people who found the passion and excitement to learn more about it did so through curiosity and interest.
We can make the Digital Technologies curriculum interesting for all students, just like we can for every other learning area. The first step in making that a reality is to stop artificially segregating the subjects and to emphasise the interdependence that exists across every discipline of knowledge. When designing a lesson or unit of work, what we need to do is look across multiple learning areas and find ways to engage students with lots of different interests - to connect what they are learning to their world.
Does this mean every child will like learning every aspect of the DT curriculum? No, just like not every child will enjoy Maths, Science or other subjects. But we can at least develop in them an appreciation of the value each discipline has, and the impact of each on their way of life now and in the future.
Oh - and on the last point re: not including Scratch (or anything else) in high school - the curriculum doesn't do that. There is nothing that precludes the use of visual programming to teach concepts from any learning area. What has been expressly mentioned is that students learn about general purpose programming languages. These languages are different when compared to drag-and-drop type visual languages because they allow us to perform significantly more computation than is possible otherwise. They are important, but that doesn't mean that other, more familiar platforms or languages can't be used to address other aspects of the curriculum. I use a similar technique to explore recursion with my students, producing fantastic looking artwork using Context-Free grammars and exploring randomness as well (which is a nice way of visualising genetic mutation).
We need to stop looking at movement through the bands as discrete periods of learning - it is a continuum and the learning that takes place in earlier bands should be used as the foundation for learning in later ones.
Last time I posted here, I critiqued the concept that we should all become programmers. Instead, I suggested that interface literacy was the key to giving people the power they need to make informed decisions about current technologies.
Today, I've come across this article - Teaching Digital Literacy - which includes a video featuring Douglas Rushkoff talking about the subject of his new book Program or Be Programmed: Ten Commands for a Digital Age.
I'm currently trying to purchase a copy of the eBook to get a better understanding of the arguments Rushkoff is making (the vendor, OR Books, keeps 404-ing when I try to pay - nice work*). I still have issues with the terminology used, but the point he makes that the digital medium is just as full of bias as television, print and radio is really valuable. And that bias is not made up only of the content itself, but the actual method in which the content is shared.
Will post a follow-up here when I've had a chance to sit down and spend some quality time with the book. (If OR Books manages to fix their website.)
*UPDATE 29th Jan: I emailed them regarding the payment issue; still unable to pay via PayPal, and their non-PayPal payment method is not handled with a sufficient level of security, so I won't be purchasing the book for a while longer. Still, I have found this free sample chapter. And ooh, ooh. I have something to say about this. Next time.
We use technology to create content. Literacy is a measure of how well you can create, contextualise, and accurately interpret content.
That content could be updating your status on a social network. It could be your SmartRider card logging your daily trips. We are all generating data, telling stories, leaving imprints with our technology - be it pens and paper or binary code in a machine.
In his article Programming is the New Literacy, Marc Prensky postulates that knowing how to write programming code will become an essential skill. You will not be considered literate without it.
It is an interesting argument. But I think he is somewhat confused about the nature of programming.
A computer is a tool requiring both hardware and software. This is where the confusion lies. Prensky confuses the language of software with the language of human thought. But software, while written using a 'language', does not communicate human ideas. It communicates machine ideas. Software itself is a construction - it is a tool made out of code. And just as we are not required to build a telephone to be considered capable of holding a discussion, we will not all be required to build software to be considered literate in computer interfaces.
The author also seems to confuse interface literacy with programming. Examples provided of programming performed by teens are things like "downloading a ringtone" or "customizing your mobile phone or desktop". This is not programming. This is understanding how to use a tool - much like understanding how to change the ambient temperature of your refrigerator.
I love programming (well, on good days) but do I think it will become a required skill? No. Do I think interface literacy will become an essential communication skill? Yes! Eventually. Just as we are required to understand how to use pen and paper in order to write essays in Year 10 English Literature.
You might think I'm being pedantic. Listen, this is me being pedantic: Flash is not a programming language! It is a piece of software! Actionscript is the 'programming language' used by Flash. That said, you may hear old-school programmers refer to it as 'scripting' rather than 'programming' due to it not needing to be compiled amongst other things (Okay, one of the 'other things': True programming languages usually let you write any sort of utility you want. While I could make a game or short animation with Actionscript, I could not write a boot loader with it - hat-tip to Pixelseeker for the example).
Yes. Now I am being somewhat pedantic.
Towards the end of the article Prensky re-defines programming as 'the ability to control machines'. While the semantics make me cry (oh, fine, not really, at most they add another micro-twitch to the nervous tic I'm working on to increase my nerd cred) I agree completely with the message. The abillity to control our society's current, predominant technologies is vital for any individual.
Once upon a time, our latest technologies were zippers and velcro. Today, computer interfaces. We need to understand these in the same way we need to understand how to use a zipper; if we fail, we'll end up looking like a bit of a dunce.
Reading this;
The investigator is staggered by the findings and conclusions of thousands of other workers—conclusions which he cannot find time to grasp, much less to remember, as they appear. Yet specialization becomes increasingly necessary for progress, and the effort to bridge between disciplines is correspondingly superficial.and this;
The world has arrived at an age of cheap complex devices of great reliability; and something is bound to come of it.and this;
All our steps in creating or absorbing material of the record proceed through one of the senses—the tactile when we touch keys, the oral when we speak or listen, the visual when we read. Is it not possible that some day the path may be established more directly?it is hard to believe As We May Think was written over 60 years ago.
Is there a difference between the way an organisation and an individual should conduct themselves on the internet? Both are projecting an identity. Both are aware of how they want to be seen, how people see them, and how their actions can influence the latter. Should they behave differently online?
Yes. They should. But don't stop there. The distinction isn't between whether you are an organisation or an individual. The distinction lies in the difference between what is successful, and what isn't. And we all have different factors which determine our success.
Maybe your company considers success to be a ten percent increase on web subscriptions after changing the way you promote your videos online. Maybe you consider your personal interactions on a social networking site successful if at least 80% of the updates you see from your network are interesting or useful to you.
It is that end result, what you are online for in the first place, that should determine your approach – not your classification as an organisation, individual, animal or mineral.
I'm always leery when I hear advice that provides a single strategy for a single communication technology.
No matter where you are, there are only two rules to follow;
When you link to an event via blog post or Facebook, will it matter to you if that link ceases to work a few weeks later? How about a few years?
Is the description page for an event that happened in 2005 going to be worth preserving in 2020? Is it data glut or a useful historical resource?
Today I received a message along these lines from our web content editor;
"There's something wrong with our website - Google searches on our events turn up ones that have happened as well as ones we are planning!"We don't delete old events from our website, we just send them to the archives. That way any external links to the events will still take visitors somewhere useful. We doubt people are going to be very interested in reading the details of a single event years on, but we figure it is better to preserve the information for posterity.
We're in the really exciting stages of re-developing the museum's information architecture at present. I haven't written much about it until now just because I've been so busy organising all of the testing sessions and co-ordinating the volunteers and full-time staff who are helping out with the project, but here's a little background. I'm hoping I can share some useful information about our research process when things are a little quieter.
The background
Our website has evolved over the many years it has existed - in the early days, staff would come to the web developer's desk, dump a large stack of paper in front of him, and then ask if he could "put these on the internet, please".
The stacks of paper tend to be emails and PDFs these days, and the website has moved from a pure HTML and CSS implementation to a nifty open-source CMS. The stacks of information just keep on coming, though, and over the last 10-15 years sections and categories have been tacked on as needed.
So, early last year as part of my web training and documentation role I began to educate museum staff about the basics of usability and IA in a series of lectures and training sessions. This grew into the Web Advocates group, comprised of about 15 staff members across different parts of the organisation, who meet regularly to learn new technologies and keep communications open between IT and the rest of the company.
We're about to begin the user testing stage now, which I will be leading though some of the Web Advocates group will sit in on the sessions so they can get a better idea of how 'real' visitors use the museum's website. I'm really looking forward to it as this will be my first opportunity to test out the Silverback software, which we won a free license for at the last Edge of the Web conference courtesy of Matt Balara (thanks, Matt!)
Once those finish, then the team will move to building new navigation prototypes based on my analysis of the results of the testing sessions. Then, we start testing the prototypes. Most likely we will be using Balsamiq for this part.
The process has gone smoothly so far so hopefully we'll get some great results from the testing. Thanks to all those who will be participating in the sessions. I'm going to have fun running Silverback - I'm a PC (and Linux) user, and while I know my way around the command line on a modern Mac thanks to my Linux experience, the GUI itself makes me twitchy. So this should be interesting.
I'm currently reading an article on a social media 'expert' blog. Very catchy name, this blog has. Very hip. Very now. There's even assonance.
The author mentions that someone recently asked them what percentage of Twitter accounts were commercial businesses. His next paragraph begins with something akin to "So I had a think about it for a minute and then told him it was X%"
You had a think about it.
You had. A think. About it.
Sometimes I celebrate those who have been successful without going through the expense of tertiary education and have achieved great success through self-education and dedication. Those able to succeed without having the processes of academia drilled into them. Sometimes people prove that they can use their own initiative to make observations about the world that contribute to human understanding and progress in ways that delight and intrigue us.
Sometimes, people pull things out of their posteriors.
Beware the man with the Social Media Stick who begins to rock back and forth whenever he hears the words "scientific method".

I will be taking two weeks off from work starting on the 24th of December, and I intend to do a lot of blog house-keeping.
I've already started, in fact - I have moved my daily posts over to a subdomain run on Posterous. Have a look at the postings so far - look at how lovely and minimalist the layout is. I'm growing rather fond of Posterous.
More changes in the works. Maybe I'll even get time to code the layout I designed six months ago. Who's to say. Who's to say.
As far as spiders and cobwebs are concerned, I have always liked the idea of making a spiderweb pattern from spiders themselves. Just, er, not personally. Some of the spiders would take offense, I imagine.
Read this short piece on the nature of the social group.
And if you watch one thing today - watch this man in a chicken suit play "What is Love?" It is truly the pinnacle of 2009.
That and the "surpised kitten" video, naturally.
Dear Ask Wendy,
I have a problem. You wouldn't think of it to look at me - I've nearly paid off my mortgage on my 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1 en suite house (now I just need the family to fill it!) I've got one hell of a hot car, and I'm just about to put in my own home theatre system.
You'd think I would be happy, but instead, I am sad. I am very sad, Wendy.
You see, I have heard that our government is spending my tax dollars to create new policy about climate change. I hear Kevin Rudd and representatives from the other states of Australia are FLYING over to Copenhagen to discuss a policy for reducing carbon emissions. Can you BELIEVE it? FLYING.
How can they be serious about climate change when they are sending so many people over there to discuss it? Surely, the 0.00000000000000000001 cents I am contributing to this flight could be spent better elsewhere!
Don't they know that FLYING in a PLANE creates a huge amount of carbon pollution whatsits?! They are clearly only doing this so that they can have a holiday with Climate Change as an excuse. In fact I think the entire thing was created just so politicians could take holidays.
You see, I believe everyone in the world is as self-serving, greedy and scheming as myself. I have also read a study that when human beings see others being blamed for something, they are more inclined to blame that thing too, regardless of how sensible it is!
And I think the Australian people are being blamed, Wendy. And now we are suffering - if they introduce new taxes to help reduce emissions, I will get hit more heavily than poor people because I earn more! Which doesn't seem fair at all. And it might set me back on that new barbecue I was going to have installed at my place.
Sacrificing even the smallest amount of my own curious living standards for the good of others is inherently repulsive to me. What can I do to stop KRUDD and his cronies from ruining my life forever with their climate change policies?
- Trouble in paradise
Back in the mid to late 90s, my search engine of choice was InfoSeek.
As InfoSeek never returned any relevant hits for my favourite film of all time, I decided to make a website for it. I spent hours after school using their computers to take screen captures from a VHS copy of the film I had taped from broadcast TV. If you wanted high res (640*480!) captures, wave files from the film, or if for some odd reason you wanted to read a teen's take on how an artificial intelligence might think, my website was the place to go.
Even the Wayback Machine wouldn't bring it back now, but far better things have come along since.
More than a decade later, I have this website. So far I have just been using it to get myself into the habit of writing regularly, regardless of how inspired I feel. The public nature of it makes me less inclined to slack off.
But what am I doing here? Other than navel-gazing, of course.
I miss the bad old days where every site I hit was either academic in nature or a great storytelling experiment. Or an 'under construction' page. Marketers hadn't really gotten the hang of the web, then.
That said, in those days most organisations I searched for didn't have a web page, and instead I had to wait to call them during office hours to find out what I needed. And the ability to buy anything online was still a ways off.
I don't miss the blink tag, either.
There's a lot to be said for the current state of the web.
My nostalgia still drives me, however. I hope that eventually I'll be able to capture some of the unfettered weirdness, some of the great stories, that seemed to be easier to find back when bevels were cool. The stuff that used to get put up before people started fretting about whether Google knew who they were.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then we shall begin.
Today I was able to sample four different kinds of Japanese Kit Kats. Rose, Ginger Ale, Red Bean, and Baked Sweet Potato. I purchased them from J-List.
Red Bean was the clear winner by a mile. If they had used dark chocolate for that flavour, I'd have to add an extra few miles onto that. A nice rich flavour that definitely captured the taste of red bean amidst the chocolate.
Rose takes second place. It was like eating potpourri covered in milk chocolate - should bring back memories of your grandmother, if your grandmother liked to feed you her perfume bottles.
The sweet potato flavour could have been awesome but the sweet white chocolate made it difficult to discern the potato taste. Ginger Ale was pleasant, but again, needed dark chocolate.
This is what happens when I am out of inspiration for my daily blog post. You get chocolate. Or I get chocolate, and then tell you about how I ate it all and how you aren't getting any.
Oh, stop looking at me like that.
Search engine friendly titles are for wimps.
I say this with a grin, but you clench your abdominal muscles in fear, because you have heard the rumours; that I trained under the secret Web Master centuries ago to learn the ultimate web-fu style: Double Death Ultra Dragon Mega Menu Killswitch Combo Harvesterscript.
After besting my master and completing my training, I have wandered the land taking stock of all I see, casting judgment on none, but always watching... always waiting. Some say that when I cross over the earth on a cold autumn morning, that you can see the weight of my feet crystallise tiny floating divs on the ground below.
Others say that when I pass server rooms, LED displays glowing fitfully in the night, all the machines reboot simultaneously, their operating systems replaced with an inscrutable interface that plays like a text adventure with many, many endings.
A single wrong move and you could be sleeping with the grave-fish... but you have come here to learn, and learn you will.
As you kneel in the snow, balancing two servers on either shoulder, a support manual dangling from your teeth, I sit and sip my tea on the cold rocks above you, and secretly, I smile.
Every day, that urge to just drop everything, grab a backpack, withdraw all my savings and travel around the world (or at least to Japan, Turkey and NZ) gets a little bit stronger.
I want to explore, but how do you do that when you're in front of a screen in a windowless room 5 days a week and public transport slows to a halt on the weekends?
Everything is just so easy. So unchallenging. Sure, we have problems. Part of our house burned down. The cat likes to chew poisonous things. I've had to deal with two stalkers in the last two years, one of whom is still causing me stress, because he's the stabby-go-postal kind. Given that my partner is a full time student, we're low on income too.
But these problems aren't interesting. Stressful. Strengthening, maybe. But not interesting.
I don't want to be challenged just by how much stress I can take. I want intellectual challenges, social challenges, the chance to use my practical skills.
But the logistics of doing anything else overwhelms me. I just don't know where to begin. I don't even know the questions to ask.
I'm going to keep on asking until I find the right ones.
Today I gave the best birthday present ever. It was a Quenda.
I'm tired of giving things that may or may not be of use, things that end up in landfill or at the bottom of cupboards. I want to give things that mean something.
If you are looking for inspiration on clutterless presents, here are some of my suggestions;
I love finding hidden places in websites.
These days most of the hidden 'easter eggs' I find tend to do with the alt attributes of images – the text you see when you hover your mouse over a picture.
But man, back in the 90s, I was finding hidden things all over the place.
I love it when I roll over a seemingly unimportant graphic and I see entertaing alt text. (The SEO-obsessed masses might take offense at hiding non-keyword messages in images, but honestly - shoosh. Anyway, it's better than "left_corner_gaphic_4.jpg"...decorative elements being a popular place to hide 'secret' messages). Obviously a screen reader can make this a little less hidden...
I also love it when I view a website's source code and see the developer has left comments - relevant or not. Or hidden an extra message in text the same colour as the background. Or a hyplink on an innocuous block of colour that leads to a 'secret' bonus page. Changing a URL based on onsite clues to find a bonus directory.
Then again, these days a lot of 404 pages are exciting enough to feel like an easter egg on their own...
Sure, Google can index your easter egg content, allowing searchers to hit it without going through your mysterious web trail (though norobots.txt or other methods can prevent this of course).
I'm not talking about accessibility standards or optimisation or anything you'd expect me to be behind as a developer. I'm just talking about having a little fun.
Yes, I know. Hidden content isn't appropriate everywhere.
On a personal site, however… I only spent about two hours building this Blogger skin when I started Fish out of Order, and I've been meaning to come back and clean it up. I have two weeks off coming up in January… maybe I'll add some hidden surprises then.
While I'm at it - Dinosaur Comics has some of my favourite alt text messages ever.
Also, this easter egg will cover your website in glitter when a user enters the Konami code. Go forth and Cornify.
Today I went to the cup noodle factory (& museum) in Osaka, Japan. It's quite far out of the city, but after I read that you get to make your own cup noodle for 300¥ (£1.70/$2.90), I just had to go there. You go through the whole process of decorating a cup, adding the dry noodles, soup powder & your choice of 4 dry ingredients (I did pork, onion, garlic & decorative ducks). Then the cup is all sealed up (you even get to operate the machine to seal and fill it) and you pop it into an inflatable bubble bag with a red cord to take home with you!
How to eat ramen
- Eat uncooked noodles
- Drink boiling hot water
- Snort the flavoring powder
Soba dance party
Dr Ken Mogi, genius scientist of the mind, gives some advice regarding another important topic.
Sometimes soba just won't go to sleep. So the soba is treated to a Nintendo lullaby. Go to sleep, little soba. Go to sleep.
Not only do people suffer heart attacks from stress. So too the stressed tomato can become soup, and the stressed soba becomes one… with the tomato. But separate…. FROM ITSELF.
I have re-created the events of Easter Friday using only soba noodles and Easter eggs. The striking resemblance to the Easter story and all its vibrant characters will surely be unmistakable.
These noodles are both hot and moving.
This is the most profound thing I have ever filmed.

The Mets have had two things on their agenda this offseason. One of them is acquiring one more rotation arm on a one-year contract. Right now, the Mets starting rotation looks something like this: Johan Santana, Jonathon Niese, Matt Harvey, and Dillon Gee. The Mets' goal is to get one more short-term pitcher until they can bring up pitching prospect Zack Wheeler. Two names that have been thrown around to fulfill that role are Derek Lowe and Carl Pavano. I'm not a big fan of Pavano, but he can serve as a stopgap for 2012. I can see the Mets grabbing him on a one-year deal. The problem is that Pavano, 37, had a bad year in a pitcher's park. He went 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA in 11 starts for the Twins last year. Pavano also missed some time with a shoulder injury. Pavano's best season was eight years ago when he went 8-0 with the Marlins (ERA – 3.00 / WHIP – 1.17 SO – 139 / BB – 49 / IP – 222.1 / WAR – 5.1). He's averaged a 4.92 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 106.3 IP and 0.8 WAR per season with the Yanke...

Your administrative team - principal and superintendent - allocate time and resources for instruction. Their support is critical to developing a climate in which your arts program can grow. Administrators need your help in making the music program successful. It is the job of the music educator to provide administrators with everything they need to know to be an advocate for the program. This will allow your supervisors to speak knowledgeably about the inherent value of students participating in your arts program.

Republican Presidential Debate
I watched part of the Republican Presidential Debate. I would have watched it all, but Wednesday is my night to study the Constitution and watch Japanese pr0n.
Pretty much the start of the debate was Israel, Israel, Russia, Israel, Iran, Syria and Israel.
The old lady who ran a high tech company in the ground (she reminded me of Skyler from Breaking Bad), mentioned that if she was elected president she would immediately call the Israeli Prime Minister for a booty call and then declare war on Russia and Iran. Or something like that.
It was a chaotic debate with these clowns trying to get their rehearsed sound bites out. As such, they frequently talked over each other. Well, except when Ben Carson spoke. When Ben spoke they all got real quiet and respectful.
Jeb Bush was trying to act like a high energy Alpha Male. He failed, but it was cute to watch.
Donald just had his usual "I don't give a fuck" attitude. At one point he insulted Rand Paul's looks. Why insult a candidate's look? I think Trump just does it for the lulz. Good enough reason for me.
The debate ended with Trump and Carson becoming soul brothers.
I could see them doing a Blues Brothers revival.
7 comments:
Of all the many pressing social and economic issues facing the US Jeb Bush could have talked about with The Donald, what did he get totally fixated on? Wanting an apology for his lameass wife. Maybe he would not even have accepted it unless The Donald said it in Spanish?ReplyDelete
The face Jeb made during Donald's imposed high five was priceless. Anyway, why were there two people asking questions, I guess they just needed a vagina there too to help balance all the male privilege? I never remember seeing two reporters present to ask the questions before. That being said idk who this Carly Fiorina is, tonight was my first time seeing her, she looks like a bitch, but she kind of has that whole milf thing going on too, I'd fuck her. lolReplyDelete

I don't trust Trump, I think he isn't being honest. Be very careful about him. Yes, he speaks his mind and tells the things that nationalists and patriots want to hear, but he has some contradictions, even if he admits and explains them. He says he wants a strong economy with strong american corporations and american jobs and tariffs; but he manufactures his clothing in China and Indonesia.ReplyDelete
- Hey, Donald, you are manufacturing your clothing in China and Mexico.
- Well, you know, you can't do otherwise in the current state of affairs, but if I was president, blah, blah, blah.
- Hey, Donald, you say you want to close the border with Mexico to avoid illegal immigration, but some of your family were immigrants.
- Well, you know, they were legal immigrants, because we need some kind of immigrants, but not another kind of immigrants.
- Hey, Donald, you gave money to the Clintons. And they were marvellous. Now, Hillary is the worst secretary of state. You have given money to the republicans and to the democrats. That's not very honest. Do you support the democrats or the republicans?
- Well, you know, if you want to make business, that's what you have to do. And that proves that the system is corrupt.
- But, Donald, if you give money to the politicians, you are contributing to the corruption of the system.
- Well, if I become president, blah, blah, blah.
- Donald, you said you are pro choice about abortion, but you say now that you are pro life. How is that?
- Well, you now, people change their mind.
- But, Donald, people change their mind when they are 30 years old. You are 69; you should have your opinion formed a long time ago.
- Well, you know, you have to please potential voters.
- Well, Donald, we call that in my country being a vane. Now you have this opinion, and then you change it; and later, you change it again. Is this the politics you are going to apply to the United States of North America? You say one thing and, then, you do the opposite thing?
Donald is pro Israel. I know that his daughter converted to Judaism, but that is not a reason to support Israel. I thought Jew Americans were Americans, not Israelis. Well, we can see where loyalties are. He is another politician that bows to his Zionist masters. And he doesn't want to cut foreign aid to Israel, but to reinforce it, so more money from the American tax payers to Israel.
Donald wants to reinforce the armed forces, and that means more money from the tax payers to the military-industrial complex and more wars abroad. And, of course, more wooden coffins for young Americans fighting wars that don't concern them. Fighting for the elite's interests... And for Israel, of course.
He is an actor. He is playing a game. Maybe for the Clintons to win the elections, frightening potential republican voters, maybe for himself because he sees a chance to win and to gather power, or maybe for the system, to divide the people and conquer because, you know, people is pissed off about politicians and banksters, so the system needs controlled dissent to appease potential nationalists and potential popular movements and funnelling their rage and anger.
Ye shall know them by their deeds.
Donald, you are a liar.
You are maybe a puppet or the puppeteer. Or both things.Replies
You've got it all wrong.Delete
Trump is clearly the puppetmaster here.
The other candidates and the media dance to his tune.
Thanks Ramzpaul. I now have an indelible image in my brain of a drunken and confused Ramzpaul jacking off to the Constitution.ReplyDelete
RamZ, I think your Secret Service Code Name should be: Ramzbunctious.ReplyDelete

Colnago CX Zero 105 Alloy Complete Bike 2015
Colnago markets the CX Zero 105 Alloy Complete Bike as a gran fondo bike, but we know better. This is, after all, the same gran fondo geometry that the professionals at Europcar have field tested across both the stones of Roubaix and the peaks of the Tour. This is one of the only geometries to be used in virtually every race on the European calendar, so we know for a fact that it's capable of comfortably noodling through charity rides and hammering across the Alps it all depends on what type of cyclist you want to be on any given day. The CX Zero Alloy frame's geometry is exactly the same as the CX Zero Evo that team Europcar races on with one exception: the seat tube is a more robust 31. 6 millimeters. It still has the same long wheelbase, high stack, and short reach as the CX Zero Evo, which puts you in a more comfortable and stable upright position than traditionally aggressive racing frames like the C60, relaxing your arms and opening the angle between your torso and thighs. While aluminum doesn't have the built in dampening of carbon fiber, the CX Zero Alloy is still built to keep you from being rattled out of the saddle. The seatstays are thinned and slightly flattened to absorb hits and road noise, which is further complemented by the chainstays' slight up kick at the rear dropout. The chainstays thicken as the approach the bottom bracket, which maintains efficient power transfer for long days spent grinding up climbs and helps the frame find the ideal balance between stiff efficiency and plush ride comfort. The Shimano 105 drivetrain continues the CX Zero Alloy's balancing act by coming out ahead in three metrics that seem mutually exclusive: reliable durability, precise operation, and economic concerns. 105 boasts improvements to the trim in the front, the spring and cable pitch in the rear, the indexing in the shifters, and the lever bodies themselves, which have been slimmed down to more closely match Dura Ace. The only significant sacrifice 1...

Single Sailor Seeking First Mate
I am single, male, bluewater sailor, presently cruising the Virgin Island on a well founded 2005 Hunter 36, that I sailed down from the Chesapeake Bay.
I am seeking a woman 50-65, who is creative and artistic, more intelligent, prettier, healthier, and a better sailor than I am; any three of five will do, and, yes, a good sense of humor.
Re: Single Sailor Seeking First Mate
Hi KennS
I saw your ad regarding seeking a 1st mate. Have you found one yet? I noticed you posted in 2013.
Let me know
Re: Single Sailor Seeking First Mate
Hello, How are you? You seem quite charming and your ad was funny, I had to re-read it again to be sure I read it right. Are you still on the water? Do you believe in God?
Re: Single Sailor Seeking First Mate
It's been two years, so he probably found his first mate, given up, or passed away. But I would not despair. Plenty of single sailors out there.

The Smoke of Life
Short Story by: AzureXi
Status: Finished
Genre: Non-Fiction
The breeze blew as I sat there on an empty bench in the park. A night blanketed with the robust feel of darkness with stars that felt like a nightlight. Yet somehow even in darkness the stars seemed to assure me that there was a path, or maybe it's just me. There I sat wondering why, what do I do now. I gazed up, up to the night sky with questions to ask god as if he/she slept up in the sky. No words or actions could set my mind to bliss nor did I receive any for all that I wished.
But there I sat sending this cloudy smoke straight into my lungs, from a stick that would one day show me my own end. But really what's a few seconds to days in exchange. I brought the death stick to my lips as I inhaled and out came the smoke. I stared off into the distance, only the question of "what am I doing" came to mind. I assured myself that I was trying my hardest in life but the stress seemed unwilling to surrender. You know in reality if we all die, why worry about stress. But if we all die why even live. I raised the stick to my lips and took another puff and out blew the smoke of death once again.
I look up to where I think god might have been, I stare off into the dark blanket which coated the sky and I saw a cluster of stars; the big dipper. The stars shined with a strange radiance, something I hadn't noticed before. A beautiful shimmer in the night sky, and with that shimmer something came to my mind. In the night the trees seemed to come alive and emanated a certain vibe, to which I wanted to understand. The night sky seemed mysterious as if it was hiding itself, only to let out a few strains of light hoping that someone gazes upon its beauty and the few that dare to are amazed. I sat in awe and inhaled the sweet smoke of death as I gazed onto the surface of the world.
Suddenly all my thoughts and all my problems seemed less important than the complete beauty of nature, I felt complete. Maybe in life it's not the money or accomplishments that matter. But rather it's the moments where you stand in awe in front of beauty, and those moments make you feel happy to be alive. And maybe the real goal of life is just to be happy, rather than burdening yourself with thoughts of greed. If you walk past the sights on your way through life, you will forever wonder what you missed.

Insightful. I get the wariness that comes from smoking, yet you do it anyway. Nice message at the end.
well, thank you very much for the nice comment :)
I've had moments like this, so I can relate. This was written very well.
I have often had these revelations while inhaling the "smoke of death"! Great piece to write about :)

Chennai, Nov 13: India's chess wizard, Grand Master Viswanathan Anand is also Dr Anand now! The private Sathyabama University, a Christian Minority institution here today conferred an Honorary Doctorate on the world chess champion at a special convocation in the university this morning.
The University, which has in the past honoured achievers like well known actor Kamal Hassan, another Tamil film superstar Vijay and Director Shankar in similar fashion, conferred the Doctorate on Anand in recognition of his unparalleled achievements in chess.
Accepting the honour, Anand, who is here on a month-long sojourn, returning home after winning the world title for a second time on September 29 in Mexico, said such gestures go a long way in inspiring the recipients to do even better.
''The Doctorate honour will definitely motivate me to strive harder'', Anand observed, thanking the university.
The varsity also conferred the Doctorate to Prof Vijay K Varadan, 21st century endowed Chair in Nano, Biotechnologies and Medicine, and a distinguished professor at the University of Arkansas, US.
Distinguished scientist and Chief Controller (R&D) DRDO, Dr A Sivathanu Pillai delivered the convocation address.

Dartmouth College Bans "Fiesta" Because One Student Was Offended
A sorority and fraternity at Dartmouth College had to shut down a fundraiser because it offended a student. One student. The Greeks were having a fundraiser with all proceeds going to cardiac care. But serving burritos, guacamole and other stuff like that offended one chick...so they cancelled it. She was upset that it was a Cinco de Mayo inspired event even though it was supposed to be on April 26. Here is what she wrote in an email:
"There are various problematic structures and ideologies regarding a Cinco de Mayo-inspired event, and I am sure that we, as a Dartmouth community, could learn from the extensive literature written about the Americanization of Cinco de Mayo and its construction as a drinking holiday in the United States, cultural appropriation and the inappropriate usage of cultural clothing, and the exploitation of groups of people and cultures for the sake of business opportunities," Hernandez said in an email to TheDartmouth.
"As a Mexican-born, United-States-raised, first-generation woman of color, it was sadly unsurprising that a culturally-themed party was seen as a casual venture for such a privileged institution such as Dartmouth," she said. "I believe that social consciousness and cultural awareness is something that we need to work on as a community."

MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST — A recent state Supreme Court ruling is expected to cost Coast counties, cities and schools more than $6 million in tax revenue. That's according to Mississippi Coast tax assessors.
The ruling pertains to how counties calculate the value of Section 42 or federally subsidized tax-credit housing for tax purposes.
The Sun Herald reports Jackson County Tax Assessor Benny Goff delivered the bad news to the Board of Supervisors yesterday.
Goff explained that tax-credit housing, built on the Coast after Hurricane Katrina, is a way for the federal government to help private companies build subsidized apartment complexes that offer lower rent to low-income people.
The Supreme Court ruling is holding tax assessors to state taxing rules that say a county should not include the subsidy in the value.

Harry Potter fans rejoice! The invisible cloak will be a reality. Soon Democrats and Tree Huggers everywhere will be able to hide amongst us real people. My humble advice is to look for the wavy distortions in space and fire photon torpedoes at will........
Oh hell lets face the facts; soon as this thing is invented the inventors will go to the nearest womens locker room and spend the rest of their lives spanking it in a corner.

Increased functionality and virtual machine control in the Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster Management console for the Hyper-V role (KB 951308) is now available. The KB describes the changes in the hotfx that update the Failover Cluster Management console (the Cluadmin.msc file) and server components of the failover cluster, including:
- Changes to the virtual machine view
After you install this update, the actions for virtual computers are "online," "offline," "start," "stop," "shutdown," and "turnoff."
- Changes to virtual machine actions
After you install this update, the only action in the Failover Cluster Management console for the Hyper-V role is Move Virtual Machines. This action causes each virtual machine that is in the running state to move by using the "save state" shutdown option. If the virtual machine is not in the running state, it does not have to be shut down, and its state will not change during the move.
- Allow for more than one virtual machine in a "Services or Applications" group
After you install this update, the Failover Cluster Management console allows for more than one virtual machine. The High Availability Role Wizard for virtual machines identifies virtual machines that have files on the same disk and enables those virtual machines to be configured for High Availability. Therefore, the virtual machines will be in the same Services and Applications group. If the Services and Applications group moves to another node, all the virtual machines in that group are also moved.
- Add support for mount points or volumes without a drive letter
After you install this update, the High Availability Wizard can detect when files for a virtual machine are on a volume that is using a mount point or a GUID instead of a drive letter. Additionally, the High Availability Wizard moves the appropriate disks into the same Service or Application group as the virtual machine resource.
- Changes to the virtual machine refresh action
After you install this update, a refresh of a virtual machine in a group refreshes all the virtual machines in that group.
- Behavior changes if any node of the failover cluster has a disconnected virtual machine
Fixes the conditions that gave you the error: "An error was encountered while loading the list of available virtual machine. Value cannot be null. Parameter name: managementObject."
- Behavior change when you add a pass-through disk to a virtual machine
After you install this update, the Failover Cluster Management console correctly shows that the configuration change is not successful.
- Behavior change when the parent differencing disk is not on shared storage
Differencing disks have parent and child relationships. When a differencing disk is configured, a parent disk is specified, and that parent VHD is required to be available for the child differencing disk to function. The parent and child VHDs must be on disks that are in the same Services or Applications group as the virtual machine resource.
Before you install this update, if the parent disk is not located correctly, the virtual machine may not start because not all the VHDs are located on the same failover cluster node. This update detects the location of the parent VHD and provides a warning if the parent VHD is not on a disk that is configured for shared storage.
- Volume path copy
This update lets the path of a storage volume to be copied from the properties of the disk resource in the Failover Cluster Manager console. When you configure a virtual machine, the paths of the volumes must be specified for the disks that will be used. After you apply this update, the path can be copied from the properties of the disk in the Failover Cluster Manager console. This is useful when the path is very long, such as when a volume uses a GUID instead of a drive letter.
