Below is a transcript of a letter just received by Maurice Nauta from the DCMS. You can read the letters from Maurice to the Secretary of State here: Letters to the SOS.
Maurice Nauta comments:
"I have received the attached holding letter from the Department of Culture , Media and Sport. It is the first communication I have received since April. Maybe the appointment of GLL to run the library service has quickened the pace of response, and I look forward to receiving a full reply in due course. It is likely that the Secretary of State waited for the outcome of the Judicial Review, but a simple acknowledgement would have been helpful and courteous in the meantime."
Ministerial Support Team
4th Floor 100
Parliament Street
London SW1A 2BQ
3 December 2015
Dear Mr Nauta,
Thank you for your correspondence of 22 April and 3 November 2015, to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, the Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP and his successor the Rt Hon John Whittingdale OBE MP, about changes to library service provision in Lincolnshire. I am replying as a member of the Ministerial Support Team and I apologise that you did not receive a response to your previous letter.
Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture and Digital Economy, wrote on 26 March 2015 to Councillor Martin Hill, Leader of Lincolnshire County Council indicating that the Secretary of State was not currently minded to order an inquiry under the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964 into the changes in library provision in Lincolnshire. However, before taking a final decision the Secretary of State invited further representations from interested stakeholders.
I can confirm that the Department received a number of detailed representations, in response to this invitation, including your communication of 22 April. All of this information is being carefully considered and will inform advice to ministers on their final decision on whether or not to order an inquiry into whether the Council's proposals continue to offer a comprehensive and efficient library service.
The further analysis of the additional representations made in respect of changes to Lincolnshire library service provision is continuing. It is anticipated that ministers will be in a position to make a final decision in the near future.
I hope that this information is helpful.
Jackie Shirley
Ministerial Support Team
Comment from library campaigner Shirley Burnham via Twitter: "In a medical emergency the responder applies CPR immediately. In a libraries emergency the responder (DCMS) waits 8 months till the patient is breathing his last or is well and truly dead – Then he drops a line to the bereaved, saying they are still carefully considering what remedy to apply. Procrastination kills the patient – and this is their aim?"

Child-Friendly Sites That Require VPS
If you get virtual private server (VPS) hosting, you're instantly better protected than with a basic shared plan. Obviously, nearly every type of site can benefit from more security—especially considering there are thousands of data breaches every year. You can probably quickly tick off some of the obvious niches, such as banking sites or sites that hold your medical information. But what about kid-friendly sites? There are a number of sites that might store information about your children, and if that information gets leaked and into the wrong hands, there's no telling what may happen.
The most obvious of these sites belong to school districts or individual schools. Now that many schools ask children to submit homework online and/or for parents to check in with teachers online, there's more and more data about your children potentially being stored here. In these instances, it can include their entire class schedule, social security number and birthday, phone numbers, emails, and address. If you manage the site for a K-12 school, do you know the quality of your web hosting company?
The New Child Safety
There are also a number of game and entertainment sites that you might trust completely because they pass your parental control tests. However, if your child is storing information on these sites, what would happen if a hacker got it? In some cases, your child might be storing very personal information here as it pertains to building a profile or creating a simulated game. This can include names of pets (common passwords names, unfortunately), real addresses, and information that can help criminals who target children to establish trust.
In addition to making sure you regularly check your child's accounts, also make sure the web hosting company the site depends on has a solid reputation. You can't be too safe. It might seem innocent enough if your child shares the name of their teacher or what they'll be dressing up as for Halloween next year, but any clues to where your child is can open them up for vulnerable situations. As the owner/manager of a website frequented by kids, it's your job to keep them as safe as possible.
Not All Kid Sites are "Obvious"
You should (hopefully!) be able to quickly list the websites your child visits regularly. But there are some sites you forget about—like where they register for summer camp every year. These types of sites obviously have a lot of information about your child and family. Take a look at your browser history for the past year and you'll be surprised by just how many places you've likely shared information about your child (or how many sites they've been on, even with your permission!).
Each of these sites should be double checked for security. Find out how many breaches there have been, if any, and the authentication methods necessary to get into accounts. It might be apparent by the basic layout of some sites that they're tempting for hackers, but think broader. The right web host can help make your site safe and appealing to parents and families.

Silver Street Lights And Grey Tights
So swift her movements like a snakes travel spiral down an old grape-vine.
Normal full-figured woman all over sweet, holding her caption derails my vision to the left.
For that first time as she pass and I noticed, underneath the silver street-lights and grey tights.
Legs thicker than thick and well proportioned!
The top small of her back like a receiver already in motion.
Rear reverse-side more round than an apple-bottom shape extra-size.
Hips as wide as the grand-canyon! With a dip in each step for balance while they expand to match her stride.
A real picture-perfect view when she got up close and personal!
So amazed at her red-bone complexion that glistened, and sparkling deep brown-eyes so seducing.
Beautiful lips a shade darker than pink, giving me a fine pretty little wink.
Then, a quick smile on her face as I stared at the shine from her pearly-whites.
Thinking! Do I know this woman from another place?
I heard a voice speak so softly spoken say?
"Hi! How are you?
I immediately fainted!
Once conscious again still stunned, so many people surround me as I wonder what happen.
Suddenly! Sitting up-right looking, she just disappeared out of sight, into thin-air in broad day-light.
Where from she came I'll never know but always remember.
That time I saw underneath the SILVER STREET LIGHTS and she was wearing GREY-TIGHTS.

Hi.... Consider dietary changes. Low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets may increase insulin levels, so you may want to consider a low-carbohydrate diet .. Don't severely restrict carbohydrates; instead, choose complex carbohydrates, which are high in fiber. The more fiber in a food, the more slowly it's digested and the more slowly your blood sugar levels rise...

Update 3/18/2017
Gameboy Analog Sync Adapter
This is a simple little analog (CV) sync adapter for use with LSDJ and Nanoloop on a Nintendo Gameboy. The 3.5mm jack can be used as either an input or an output, selectable with the on board switch.
For more information and purchasing, go to http://catskullelectronics.com

I've launched a new site! Instead of living on my personal site, the shop now has it's own place! http://catskullelectronics.com/
To celebrate, I'm offering 10% off everything until March 5. This is seriously the only sale or discount you'll likely ever get from me, so take advantage while you can!
Arduinoboy kits from $16
Frustrated by the limited availability of Arduinoboy kits and the high cost of those that are available, I've produced my own.
Prices are as follows:
Unassembled kit: $16
Assembled kit: $26
Arduino clone: $5
Shipping CONUS: $5
GBC link port for easy use with a dual DMG/CGB link cable.
Headers for MIDI jacks and screw terminals for those that want to put it in an enclosure.
Three power options: gameboy 5v, Arduino USB, or Arduino 9-12v wall adapter.
100% through hole for easy assembly.
An arduinoboy for $16!
NEW! Revision 1.0.1 fixes the link port pinout issue on the last batch.
I've priced this as low as possible so I'm not looking to make a fortune here, I just hope this will get arduinoboys into more hands.
More details and purchasing is up on my shop at

I've been a little bit frustrated with the lack of a good ready to buy Arduinoboy kit. The only US based seller I'm aware of is Xiwi, and it seems like he no longer sells them. The idea is to get an easy to assemble PCB, and all the various parts and sell them for as little as possible.
Here's what I'm looking at right now:
"Shield" Kit (unassembled, no Arduino, no link cable): $15 shipped
Image for reference only
Pro Mini/Micro Breakout Kit (unassembled, no Arduino, no link cable): $15 shipped
image for reference only
Add an extra $5 for an Arduino
Add an extra $10 for assembly
Add an extra $4 for 1/2 of a link cable
That would total $24 for a kit unassembled or $34 for a ready go to aboy.
So my question is, would anyone be interested at that price point? If not, is it too expensive? Am I an a-hole for even considering selling arduinoboy's?
Have you ever wanted a dedicated cart for all the random music roms you use? Things like mGB, shitwave, and death ray?
Soon, you'll have the option.
How much will it cost? $10.
Stay tuned for more details.
The boards finally showed up! Just waiting on a few final details before they go on sale. In the meantime, here's a quick demo video I made to show it off!
Super simple PS/2 adapter
Here's a little thing I've been working on. It's just a super simple (and cheap) PS/2 adapter for a DMG.
The video says it all:
What do you think about it? Stupid? Cool? Boring? Let me know!
min64: A tiny Commodore cartridge
I'm happy to announce that the min64 is now for sale! It's tiny! The idea is that you can leave it in your Commodore all the time. Oh and the best part? It's only $10 with a flashed ROM!
Limited quantities available, so order sooner than later!
There's not a whole lot to say about it really, just a little eprom cart.
Thanks to Jazzmarazz!
Interest check: MIDI thru box with channel manipulation
Hey guys,
I just wanted to see if there was any interest in a MIDI thru box that's capable of adjusting which channels the data is sent on. Here's what I'm thinking:
One MIDI input
Four MIDI outputs
Each output will be able to select which channel it outputs on. So say you input on channel 1, you could have the through box output on channels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Or, you could leave them all on the same channel it came in on, 1.
A MIDI panic button. Kills the note on all four outputs.
That's basically it. How does it sound? Are there any features you'd really like to see it have? Does that sound dumb? Let me know!

My cat jolted awake beside me, he yowled and dug his claws into my legs. I winced and pushed him off of my lap. I watched in confusion as he scurried beneath the table and yowled repeatedly each tortured sound getting louder, and raising another octave.
I stood up and that's when I heard it.
Nature has gone deathly quiet. No birds singing their shrill songs, no buzzing of the insects.
A slice of fear stabbed through my gut, making my stomach clench and knot, warmth seemed to fade from my trembling body leaving me horridly cold and feeling incredibly alone.
I knew what was coming and its coming fast without mercy and without warning.
And then I heard the very thing I never wanted to hear again.
A deep throaty rumble sounded from beneath my feet, erupting from the earth's core; the kind that you hear when boulders tumble from the cliffs and land with a tremulous roar.
The reverberating growl seemed to come continuously, but in my head I knew that the sound only lasted a mere moment before my world, and everything around shook.
The walls bended in what seemed like every direction, the doors swung back and forth in violent jerks and the floor rolled beneath my feet, causing me to lose my balance and stumble. But instead of falling I got flung around the room like a ping pong ball.
I cried out in pain when I got slammed onto the bending wall, further thumping me face first into it. I thrust my hands outwards and planted them against the wall in a vain attempt to become still but the movement from the wall transferred up my arms, making them roll and feel like cooked noodles. I widened my stance and clenched every muscle in my body; every muscle and limb shook with the effort, a thought registered that I'll be sore later in the day but I didn't care, all I wanted was to become still amongst the violent chaos that I know as my home.
All at once a thousand thoughts raced through my head a lie a minute, too fast for me to decipher and too hopeless to grasp onto. A million emotions rippled through me making me break into a cold sweat.
A few precious seconds ticked by as I tried to study the scene around me but it was a feeble attempt.
I watched through blurry eyes, as the TV swung back and forth teetering on the edge of the cabinet it sat upon. I took a step forward to grab it, but the shaking stopped, the doors slammed shut in one final bang and nature once again stirred to life.
The birds seemed to be screaming in fear, jittering around on tree branches and hopping along the ground in frantic movements, the insects buzzed in sync to the birds' panic, in the distance dogs howled and cried for their owners.
And from the heart of the CBD, I could hear the wailing of sirens and the bells in the Cathedral, ambulances, police and fire trucks sped through the streets.
But inside my home, all was quiet.
I started toward the door to make sure my sister is okay but it opened before I could reach it, I looked her over, searching for any injuries but she was fine.
"Are you okay?" She asked me quietly.
I nodded jerkily and searched for the cat.
I looked under the table but he wasn't there. I frowned and looked around the room.
"Tigger?" I called. But he didn't come racing around the corner.
I took a step to go down the hall when I caught sight of a black ball out of the corner of my eye.
I peered into the dark corner, and saw him hunkered down, with a wild look in his eyes.
I picked him up and snuggled him to me. My sister came over and cooed to him softly.
I tuned her out as those indecipherable thoughts thundered inside my head.
Is my father okay?
Are my friend's all right?
Will there be deaths?
Will Christchurch ever be the same again?

Feel free to contact me if you would like to shoot together! I am more flexible with my time on sundays and mondays. Any other day I need ample notice to adjust my schedule at the salon.
Best Regards!

"Mummy-daddy should just find a nice girl for me" - Shahid Kapoor
Akshay-Katrina 'jodi' is the hottest today while Saif and Kareena too are building a good brand around themselves. In such times, it is seems quite good to see a fresh pairing with you and Genelia coming together for the first time in Chance Pe Dance.
I agree. Ever since the First Look of the film came out, I have got so many messages and calls congratulating me about this new pairing. Yes, there is a certain freshness that has certainly come in due to both of us coming together. Since the film boasts of a young subject, it was imperative that Genelia and I look compatible with each other. We really had a lot of fun doing Chance Pe Dance together and with the promos and songs clicking with the audiences, I am now excited to see how they react to the entire film. Genelia has done really great work in the film and what strikes me most is that she is a heroine who can also act! I am sure we will do a lot of more movies together.
After Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan, you too seem to have developed a fascination for this entire 6 pack, 8 pack abs affair?
(Laughs) Believe me; even I was surprised when I developed 8 pack abs. I was just trying to get in shape and was working out for that. However, it was during the shooting of a song for Chance Pe Dance when director Ken (Ghosh) just smiled and waved at me. He called me near the monitor and asked me to have a look at it. We had a hearty laugh because it was the camera that eventually had captured my 8 packs.
Come on, it's hard to believe. You developed an 8 pack and it's the camera which told you first about it?
I swear that was indeed the case. See, I was working out to be fit and not to get into any competition with anybody. I wasn't sitting and counting my abs. But yes, when Ken pointed this out, I did feel good about it, more so because this hadn't been planned. However, let me also clear that I am not going to live for maintaining this physique. Fit rehna important hai but for these abs, I am not going to stop eating what I want or take added strain.
Meanwhile, you seem to have developed quite a playboy image for yourself during last couple of years. It seems like you are having an affair with every leading lady that you interact with during the making of your films. Vidya Balan (Kismat Konnection), Priyanka Chopra (Kaminey) and now Anushka Sharma (yet untitled Yash Raj film) - it is indeed one enviable list. Really Shahid, what's happening?
(Laughs) Really yaar, my mummy-daddy should just find a nice girl for me and marry me off Vivah style. I guess it would be best if I go through an arranged marriage. At least talks around my so-called affairs would come to a stop. I mean ever since I went single two years back, there have been these constant talks around my relationships with fellow co-stars.
Isn't it annoying for you?
Annoying would be too harsh a word. But yes, I am really aghast about the entire thing - not because of the entire pairing up thing but the fact that at least I should know if I am really going around with someone. It is amusing when media breaks the news to me that I am seeing a girl. Can it be funnier than that?
Does it lead to an uncomfortable situation between you and the girl in question?
I make sure that it doesn't turn out to be the case. I don't get affected by rumours and gossips and neither do I want my co-star to be. I am living my life the way I want to and I am not going to stop that just because someone out there wishes to talk or write about it by giving it a spicy connotation.

The Rig Pig MOD Combo by VAMP
This past year, Vaping American Made Products (VAMP) has been making some outstanding devices centered around garnering high performance from impeccable designs and manufacturing. Following that same vein, the Rig Pig Mod Combo is an expertly coordinated kit designed to coax excellent performance from both your batteries and your build.
The Rig Pig Mod is constructed using a brass and delrin body, providing extreme structural integrity while remaining relatively lightweight. The Rig Pig accepts two 18650 batteries, which are wired in series to double the usual voltage output from 4.2V to 8.4V and send your wattage through the roof, making even mundane coils perform at unbelievable levels. The copper contacts of the battery sled help ensure a solid connection with minimal voltage drop, and the recessed top-mounted firing switch helps to prevent accidental misfires.
The Roughneck RDA has been specially designed to perform at exceptional levels alongside the Rig Pig. Instead of a traditional 510 connection, the Roughneck has large stainless steel threadings surrounding the copper positive pin; these threads install the Roughneck in the Rip Pig similarly to a 510 connection, by simply screwing it into place, but thanks to the larger-than-life threads and direct battery contact, the Rig Pig is able to push the Roughneck to levels unattainable in normal atomizers. The Roughneck has a simple three post build deck with a solid copper positive post lending to its remarkable performance. Builds installed are supported by airflow sourced from two cyclops slots on either side of the barrel; these slots can be throttled to better suit your needs by twisting the top cap. The wide bore delrin drip tip also helps ensure a cool, smooth draw, no matter how demanding the build.
Available with Black or Brass Roughneck v2 RDA.

These "lonely planets" represent an entirely new category of planets, and are perhaps more numerous in our galaxy than stars, scientists report Wednesday in the journal Nature.
"It gives us a good clue about how planet formation works. It suggests that there's a lot of violent encounters between planets near the end of the planet formation process," said David Bennett, astronomer at the University of Notre Dame.
Bennett and colleagues discovered 10 such planets, each probably the size of Jupiter, in a survey called the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics, which used a 5.9-foot telescope in New Zealand to scan our galaxy, the Milky Way.
These planets are likely gaseous, and would not be hospitable to life.
Here's how they may have formed: Generally speaking, a planet is born when a gas cloud around a star collapses into a disc shape. There are a few different theories about what happens next, but the leading idea is that the dust and the ice begin to stick together, growing into larger objects because of gravitational attraction, Bennett said. When those giant objects become about 10 times the mass of the Earth, they begin to pull in large amounts of hydrogen and helium gas, resulting in Jupiter-sized planets about 300 times the mass of the Earth, he said.
Astronomers haven't seen these planets with a naked eye, but have detected them indirectly. When a planet passes in front of a distant star, that star brightens. That's because the planet's gravity warps the light from the star, as if magnifying it. This is called "gravitational microlensing." Albert Einstein correctly predicted this effect in 1936.
Scientists can estimate the mass of a planet by looking at how long this brightening event lasts. For Jupiter-sized planets, it happens over the course of one or two days, which is what they observed in this study.
Previous explorations of distant planets found evidence of free planets also, but didn't have a good estimate of how many there were or how big, said Takahiro Sumi, associate professor at Osaka University's Department of Earth and Space Science and the lead author of the study.

The government has got to stop "helping."
What do low-income whites in England and ghetto blacks in the United States have in common? It cannot be simply low incomes, because children from other groups in the same low-income brackets outperform whites in England and outperform blacks in America.
What low-income whites in England and ghetto blacks in the United States have in common is a generations-long indoctrination in victimhood. The political left in both countries has, for more than half a century, maintained a steady and loud drumbeat of claims that the deck is stacked against those at the bottom.
The American left uses race and the British left uses class, but the British left has been at it longer. In both countries, immigrants who have not been in the country as long have not been so distracted by such ideology into a blind resentment and lashing out at other people.
In both countries, immigrants enter a supposedly closed society that refuses to let anyone rise — and they nevertheless rise, while the native-born at the bottom remain at the bottom.
Those who promote an ideology of victimhood may imagine that they are helping those at the bottom, when in fact they are harming them, more so than the society that the left is denouncing.

We had a wonderful week at this lovely house in a gorgeous part of Italy. The property is in a very quiet location with easy access to Como and the surrounding area.
The facilities in the property were excellent and everything worked well. There is the added bonus of Tennis courts a short walk from the house, as well as horse riding if you wish.
The local restaurant was first class, if a little expensive.
The pool is a good size and kept very clean.
Most impressive was the kindness and generosity of the owners who were very helpful with any questions we had. Thank you!
La villa est située au calme, dans un jardin arboré parsemé de magnifiques hortensias. A l'intérieur, le living room est spacieux et confortable, avec de nombreux jeux pour les enfants. La cuisine est effectivement petite mais elle est ouverte vers le living room et bien équipée avec des équipements et des ustensiles de qualité et en nombre.
Sur la terrasse, table de ping-pong pour les amateurs. En contrebas se situe la piscine, ensoleillée et de grande dimension.
Il est exact que les propriétaires vivent au 1er étage mais les espaces sont bien séparés et les propriétaires très discrets.
La maison est idéalement située pour atteindre facilement les grands sites touristiques de la Région.
Hôtes sympathiques et accueillants que nous recommandons.
We have spend a really nice week in the villa. The inside of the house and the rooms, bathrooms looks like the pictures. However, the kitchen is really tiny, no window and it is really difficult to cook there for 6-7 people. The swimming pool is nice and big. We have been well welcome by the owner (with some specialty brioche offered). The big black point was firstly that we were the first of the season so the swimming pool haven't been cleaned properly, the grass has been cut in the middle of our stay, the house was dusty (also the plates, glasses...etc) like when nobody live there for a while. For us, the house wasn't ready when we arrived which was a bit unfair to us (even though they ask us if the gardener could come and what time...). Now the point which should be said in the add is that the owners live upstaires and there is a dog. We were with a child and the dog bark few afternoon during her nape and arrived twice in our living room which can be dangerous. Overall we had a pleasant stay, but it is not missing much to have a perfect stay. I think that more details such as the dog and the owner living upstaires should be mentioned. Thank you.
A beautiful house, very big as the garden and the swimming pool. The rooms are full of optional and detailed with all the things one need to spend a good holiday. Antique and modern furnitures live together in a lovely mix. A dip in the history of the family that hosted us. A wonderful place to relax body and mind but also to have fun with friends. We can only recommend it to everybody. See you soon Fabiana & Alessandro

A great find, and perfect for our needs! This house was of particular benefit to our group of friends who rented all three bedrooms in the downstairs half of the house while we were in the area to compete in a golf competition at the nearby Circolo Villa d'Este Golf Club (2kms away). This turned out to be the most convenient place to rendezvous upon our arrival, as one would find it difficult to find one's way directly, even with a GPS, since the house lies a kilometre down a gravel path after traversing an electric privacy barrier that one needs a remote for. The gravel path leads past a horse riding centre which had regular competitions that we sometimes stopped to watch.Arriving at the house one has a great sense of exclusivity and privacy away from the hustle and bustle. Not only did we enjoy the extensive garden and pool, but we spent enjoyable evenings grilling barbecues and playing table tennis in the quiet and undisturbed surroundings of open fields, woodland and hills. It was great to get up early and take a refreshing plunge in the generously sized swimming pool that we had entirely to ourselves.
The owners were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful, and went out of their way to assist (having charcoal ready for us when they knew we were planning to grill, driving us to the best supermarket in the area, going to fetch members of our party from the golf club etc). Upon our arrival little snacks were laid out as welcome appetisers and two bottles of bubbly were waiting chilled in the fridge. On another day we returned to find a locally baked traditional cake of the region left for us as a present to enjoy for our next day's breakfast. However, it didn't make it that long, as by the time we went to bed, it had been polished off!
The only issue I had was the lack of a decent WiFI internet set-up, which I had heard was a problem with many of the rental places in the area. The owners did let us use their iPad which had a dongle connection to a network, so we were able to get online, but not using my own laptop, though it turned out to be a welcome break for me not to be online so much during my stay!

Richard Posner, a professor at the University of Chicago and a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, argues that Gladwell in Blink fails to follow his own recommendations regarding thin-slicing, and makes a variety of unsupported assumptions and mistakes in his characterizations of the evidence for his thesis.[6] The Daily Telegraph review writes, "Rarely have such bold claims been advanced on the basis of such flimsy evidence."[7]
In Think!: Why Crucial Decisions Can't Be Made in the Blink of an Eye (Simon and Schuster, 2006), Michael LeGault argues that "Blinklike" judgements are not a substitute for critical thinking. He criticises Gladwell for propagating unscientific notions:
- As naturopathic medicine taps into a deep mystical yearning to be healed by nature, Blink exploits popular new-age beliefs about the power of the subconscious, intuition, even the paranormal. Blink devotes a significant number of pages to the so-called theory of mind reading. While allowing that mind-reading can "sometimes" go wrong, the book enthusiastically celebrates the apparent success of the practice, despite hosts of scientific tests showing that claims of clairvoyance rarely beat the odds of random chance guessing.[8]
Nobel prize winner Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow which speaks to rationality's advantages over intuition, says:
- "Malcolm Gladwell does not believe that intuition is magic. He really doesn't...But here his story has helped people, in a belief that they want to have, which is that intuition works magically; and that belief, is false."[9]
In an article titled "Understanding Unconscious Intelligence and Intuition: Blink and Beyond", Lois Isenman agrees with Gladwell that the unconscious mind has a surprising knack for 'thinking without thinking' but argues that its ability to integrate many pieces of information simultaneously provides a much more inclusive explanation than thin-slicing. She writes:
- Gladwell often speaks of the importance of holism to unconscious intelligence, meaning that it considers the situation as a whole. At the same time, he stresses that unconscious intelligence relies on finding simple underlying patterns. However, only when a situation is overwhelmingly determined by one or a few interacting factors is holism consistent with simple underlying signatures. In many situations, holism and simple underlying signatures pull in different directions.[10]

On November 21, 1912, the schooner Rouse Simmons set sail from a small northern Michigan town across Lake Michigan. Affectionately dubbed the "Christmas Tree Ship," this was an annual trek for the Rouse Simmons. With its cargo of Christmas trees, the ship was bound for Chicago. There Captain Herman Scheunemann would sell the trees for 50 cents or $1.00 and even gave many away to needy families. But the schooner never makes its destination. The Rouse Simmons, with all hands and cargo, disappears into the cold waters. The ship's wreckage is not found until 1971. Drawing from stories told by her grandfather, author Carol Crane weaves a fictional tale based on the true events of the doomed schooner. And she explains how the captain's widow went on to continue his tradition of delivering holiday trees to Chicago. Carol Crane's many books for Sleeping Bear Press include the best-selling P is for Pilgrim: A Thanksgiving Alphabet and The Handkerchief Quilt. As a literacy advocate, Carol speaks at schools and conferences. She lives in North Carolina. Chris Ellison has illustrated children's picture books and adult historical fiction for nearly 20 years. His book Let Them Play was a 2006 Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People. Chris lives in Mississippi.
Who lit the first jack-o'-lantern? What creature of the night must return to his grave by dawn? And why do we holler "Trick or treat"? J is for Jack-O'-Lantern: A Halloween Alphabet invites you to come along on this A-Z adventure and celebration of all things that "go bump in the night." Poetry and prose combine to entertain and educate. H is for Haunted House A haunted house; you better beware. Only enter if you dare. Monsters lurking, looking mean-- Just can't wait to make you scream! Classic autumn games, jokes, and recipes (including gooey deviled egg eyeballs!) help round out the Halloween festivities. Atmospheric artwork blends just enough fun with fright to provide the perfect backdrop. One of Denise Brennan-Nelson's favorite Halloween memories is of her daughters wearing homemade skunk costumes, since the girls are "Mommy's little stinkers." Her other books include Willow and Buzzy the bumblebee. When she's not visiting schools to speak to schoolchildren and teachers, Denise is at home in Howell, Michigan. Born in Hong Kong, Donald Wu grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. He studied illustration at the California College of the Arts. Donald's current focus is in children's book illustration, but he also has experience with portraiture and editorial artwork. He lives in the San Francisco Bay area.
A boy will never forget witnessing a forbidden Potlatch. In 1935, a nine-year-old boy's family held a forbidden Potlatch in faraway Kingcome Inlet. Watl'kina slipped from his bed to bear witness. In the Big House masked figures danced by firelight to the beat of the drum. And there, he saw a figure he knew. Aboriginal elder Alfred Scow and award-winning author Andrea Spalding collaborate to tell the story, to tell the secret of the dance.
According to Mexicos official Secretariat of Tourism, each year more than 5,000 officially recognized fiestas, or holiday celebrations, are observed in the country. These fiestas include religious feasts like Easter in the spring, and the Feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe in December. They also include national and local holidays like Independence Day and Cinco de Mayo. Some Mexican festivals pay homage to the special foods and crops of the nation; other special events are held for birthdays, baptisms, weddings, and graduations. This book provides information about many of the most popular and important festivals celebrated in Mexico today.
This fascinating book describes how native Brazilian and Portuguese traditions, beliefs, and rituals have combined into the holidays and festivals celebrated in Brazil today. Young readers will also learn how the Brazilian people celebrate family occasions.
This intriguing book describes how the traditions, beliefs, and rituals of people across the vast country of China are observed in the many different festivals celebrated today. Young readers will also learn how the Chinese people celebrate family occasions.

Best Of :: People & Places
Several years ago, the "last house" was built in Coral Springs. In other words, every lot big enough to hold a house had been used. Even this western suburb's parks are well-developed, highly engineered centers of human activity, from the carefully manicured baseball and soccer fields to the running trails with workout stops every tenth of a mile to the chlorinated pools with Crayola-colored plastic slides and watchful lifeguards. But tucked behind one such bustling public pool at Cypress Park on Coral Springs Drive (known everywhere else in Broward County as Pine Island Road) is Cypress Hammock/Orchid, a small but breathtaking nature trail. You won't find any pictures of it online. You won't even find a description of it on coralsprings.org — though the site will tell you all about the eight tennis courts, the playground, concession stand, grills, tables, restrooms, meeting rooms, and picnic areas that make up most of the park's 16 acres. But if you can avoid the pool and keep on the sidewalk, walk right on past the tennis courts on your right and the pro shops on your left and go just past where you think the park ends — and you will find something special. A boardwalk seems to hover a few feet above a prehistoric jungle of ferns. The pop and squeak of people playing tennis can't be heard here. The roar of the pool slides and swimming kids does not penetrate. Other than the call of the occasional bird, you are suddenly in a silent primeval oasis in the middle of Coral Springs. If you stop halfway along the trail, stand perfectly still, and let the humidity soak into your clothes, hair, and skin, you can imagine what this area was really like before we came along. And if all that nature freaks you out, don't worry — there's a concession stand 30 feet away.
Broward County power couples sure have been taking big hits lately. At one time, it looked like Broward County Commissioner Stacy Ritter and her lobbyist husband, Russ Klenet, were going to take over the world. Now she's the subject of multiple criminal investigations, and he's scooted off to D.C., as he lost a lot of his local business. Broward County Commissioner Ilene Lieberman was at one point Broward's queen of mean, and her husband was the legal czar out in Sunrise. Now she's as quiet as a mouse, and he's been booted from his cush government gig. But Drew and Dawn Meyers have the makings of a Broward-worthy power combo — and that means there are hints of a conflict of interest. Drew Meyers is an assistant county attorney. Dawn Meyers is a lobbyist with the law firm Berger Singerman, who, of course, lobbies the same Broward County commissioners for whom her husband works. When the County Attorney's Office produced a draft of the new ethics code that basically gutted it, there was some controversy for the Meyerses, but for the most part, they've been careful to separate their sometimes slightly intertwining jobs. The power duo took a hit when the hubby was passed over for the county attorney's job in favor of Joni Coffey, the wife of big-time lawyer and former U.S. Attorney Kendall Coffey. Uh-oh — we may already have next year's winner.
When recently criminally charged Tamarac Mayor Beth Talabisco was running for her seat in 2006, she tried hard to pretend she wasn't under the thumb of dirty developers Bruce and Shawn Chait, who were trying to get government approvals to build a much-too-dense housing development on two golf courses in her city. She went so far as to inform the Sun-Sentinel that she had returned some $2,000 in campaign contributions tied to the Chaits and boasted about the distance she was keeping from the developers in her own campaign ads. It seemed that Talabisco was taking the high road, and voters promptly put her in the mayor's seat. But the reality was that Talabisco may have been in the Chaits' pockets more deeply than anyone realized. According to state prosecutors, she struck a deal with the Chaits for them to secretly fund an electioneering committee that would put out a barrage of negative ads against her opponents on the final weekend before the election. In fact, she met with Sean Chait to talk about forming the committee just before the father-and-son bribers put $21,000 in cash into the committee via two subcontractors who worked for them. In exchange for the dirty political money, Talabisco voted for the Chaits' controversial development just days after her election. It took five years, but when state prosecutors learned of Talabisco's lies and corruption, they slapped her with bribery, unlawful compensation, and official misconduct charges. She currently awaits trial.
People know Beverly Stracher's name these days as a key cooperating witness for the state in what is perhaps the biggest corruption cases in Broward County history. Or they know her as the husband of Les Stracher, who was a key partner of notorious Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein. But before the notoriety and political shenanigans, Beverly Stracher was just a Piper High grad and Broward Community College student who made her mark as a mediocre reporter for the mediocre Sun-Sentinel before becoming a government flack and, shortly thereafter, a Lauderhill city commissioner. She didn't last long in elected office, but she stayed in politics, becoming one of those shady behind-the-scenes "operatives." For years, she operated in relative obscurity before she struck a deal with Prestige Homes, owned by developers Bruce and Shawn Chait, to help them get influence with politicians with whom she worked — including Broward County Commissioner Ilene Lieberman and then-Tamarac Mayor Beth Talabisco. She took money from both sides — the influence peddlers and the politicians for whom she campaigned — in what was a sleazy arrangement. Now several of those politicians are awaiting trial, the Chaits have already pleaded guilty to bribery, and Stracher has become one of the county's chief canaries, giving one sworn statement after another to implicate her former friends. On top of that, her husband has filed for divorce. Don't cry too hard for Stracher, though; she's got a cush job at the county now, courtesy of Lieberman.
A vocal group of parents and teachers had been calling for Art Johnson's head for a year, blaming him for a new cookie-cutter curriculum many detested. Johnson canned his reviled chief academic officer, Jeffrey Hernandez, but he couldn't quell the uproar. Parents soon discovered that Hernandez had been moonlighting in Memphis while still on the payroll in Palm Beach County. They asked to see emails from Hernandez's last six months on the job and learned that the emails had disappeared. The possibility that Johnson sanctioned the moonlighting and/or had a hand in destroying the paper trail turned out to be the end of the superintendent's career. Before the board could publicly discuss firing him, he stealthily began crafting an exit plan that gave him a $428,000-plus golden parachute. It all happened so fast that even his worst enemies were surprised. Ordinary citizens ousting a powerful politician over a public records scandal? Only in the Sunshine State.
This fair-haired son of a preacher man seems determined to save Fort Lauderdale from itself. Proving wrong the axiom that South Florida's native sons grow up to either chase money or leave, he taught himself to play guitar, and now he tours local bars and art venues with his one-man act, Alexander. When he's not making ladies' knees wobble with his wholesome serenades, Alexander takes on ambitious projects: He was an unofficial partner in the now-shuttered Collide Factory, where he helped build a recording studio inside a graffiti-clad shipping container. And you're right, you do recognize him from somewhere: As a co-owner of Brew Urban Cafe in Victoria Park, he may or may not have drawn a heart in your latte.

Intel Fail ♦ ♦ ♦ Jai and Maat
Jai had seen that eyebrow raise before, but it didn't phase him. He'd rather see that than her freaking out any day though. In fact, she was the opposite of freaking out, luckily for him.
Out of danger, there was time for small talk. "Mati," he repeated, still attempting to catch his breath and play his wound off as though it was a paper cut. "You got it, angel... I mean, Mati." Unusual name, but so was Jai, so he didn't think much of it other than it was pleasant sounding.
Once inside, Jai began to make his way to the liquor cabinet. But that little detour was put to an abrupt halt when he felt the warmth of her hand on his shoulder. As if an obedient puppy, Jai was led over to and sat down in the chair without protest. "Oh yeah, the keys. Um, the nightstand...?" he mumbled to himself before remembering. "No wait, there's a secret compartment under the television. They should be in there along with extra guns and ammo."
When she returned with the keys, Jai looked up at her with an almost innocent expression. Almost. "You know, a woman doesn't usually have me in these until the third date." The cuffs jingled behind his back as he continued to put on a brave face at the pain in his arm. "Lucky me, I guess."
Then a pause. "Seriously, thank you again, Mati."

The Mystery of Cubicle One
Everyone said that they were the skankiest toilets in the school. Maybe that was true. I wouldn't know. They said they had low doors and no loo roll. That's probably likely. Most school toilets are like that.
But there was something odd about Cubicle One; the nearest cubicle to the sink, and the cleanest. Why? Because nobody ever went in there. No one except year sevens.
No one really bothered to wonder about it. It was just a toilet, after all. There were rumours, yes, but no one believes the whispers that go round schools, do they?
"Don't want a repeat of last time," they would say. "Don't want it happening again." That was what the teachers would say, but they would never mention WHAT had happened.
And then, one day, disaster struck.
A year nine went into Cubicle One. Afterwards, there were debates about whether or not it was a dare. There were debates about why she did it - what posessed her to throw her life away like that.
After ten minutes, her friends started to worry.
"Emily?" they called. "Emily, are you there?" There was no answer, not a sound. Nervously the three girls stood on their bags and peered over the door.
Emily had gone.
All that was left was a hairband, sitting dejectedly on the toilet seat.

- Fits all casseroles | Item number: 2151028369
- Heat resistant quality glass
- Oven safe up to 180°C.
- Dishwasher safe.
- Developed in Germany.
Product description
spare part for pots
The Silit Modesto cookware series combines outstanding functionality with a clear and harmonious design. The black pots and pans in various sizes are suitable for use on all types of hob, while the extra-strong, energy-saving base conducts the heat directly up to the rim, where it is retained for a long time. The see-through lid made from heat-resistant glass sits firmly in the pan, allowing vegetables, fish and meat to be gently cooked in only a small amount of oil or water. The flared pouring rim enables easy pouring and draining of liquids. The high-quality handles made from special plastic are heat-resistant and can thus be handled safely without a pan holder, and thanks to flame-retardant stainless steel, the cookware can also be used on gas hobs. The dishwasher-safe Modesto collection includes a deep and shallow casserole pan with lid (16, 20 or 24 centimetres in diameter), a milk pan (14 centimetres in diameter) as well as a saucepan without lid (16 centimetres in diameter).

[caption id="attachment_33203" align="alignnone" width="640" caption="A woman listens to drone rock, probably. Photo: Getty Images"][/caption]
Popular rock bands are popular precisely because they make music that the "masses" can get behind. But there's also been cases of popular rock bands going rogue and making classic "eff-you" music, more commonly known as drone rock. From the groundbreaking anti-music of the Beatles' "Revolution 9" to the chaotic breakdowns in Radiohead's "National Anthem" to entire eardrum-pummeling albums by metal acts like Liturgy, the ambient drone comes in so many forms, making it hard to define.
But, like porn for your ears, you know it when you hear it. And you've probably been hearing it a lot lately, thanks to No Age (who just released Collage Culture featuring essay readings over music), and Chromatics (whose Kill For Love ends with 14 minutes of planetarium music). So here are five of our favorite examples of rock's ambient-drone tradition by artists who've sold a ton of albums, yet are still quite popular these days. Whether or not it's listenable, well, you be the judge.
1. Pearl Jam, "Stupid Mop"
This 8-minute bit of musique concrete is grunge's "Revolution 9." The foreboding final track from Vitalogy features rampant cymbal crashes, looped reverb, and various mental patients' spoken ramblings that Eddie Vedder recorded off his television. Mood music for budding serial killers.
2. The Flaming Lips, "7 Skies H3" (a.k.a. the 24-hour song)
Much of this day-long song is beautiful and accessible -- but after listening for eight straight hours at the office, it all just starts sounding like ambient noise. Especially the part that is ambient noise.
3. Smashing Pumpkins, "Drown"
The first four minutes are trademark Pumpkins - hushed vocals, pleasantly buzzing guitar. Then, "Drown" unfurls into a 4-minute screech of shoegazey feedback. Billy Corgan knows that sometimes, you gotta turn the dials up to 11 and let the noise smother everything until you run out of tape/memory.
4. Nirvana, "Endless, Nameless"
The hidden song that closes out Nevermind is easily the most ferocious song on this list. Dave Grohl's thunderous percussion holds together Kurt Cobain's avalanche of wails and shrieking feedback, and right when the song threatens to crush you under its suffocating heft...in comes a clean interlude allowing you to catch your breath.
5. Spiritualized, "100 Bars"
A whispered count to 100 blanketed with six minutes of ethereal textures: what did you expect from a space rock band that formed from the ashes of garage droners Spacemen 3?
