>Off the Beaten Path>Weather Channel, you are silly
A Saucy Wench
TWC was TLC'd years ago. It's the weather version of Honey Boo Boo. But somebody must be watching it.
My mom watches it. Whenever she visits she wants to know why I dont have that channel and how can she find out the weather.
But I have to admit my online weather usually is from TWC. They seem to understand that my little town in the foothills actually has significantly different weather than the big city 20 miles away, which most services dont. Which means they are wrong only 65% of the time vs. 85%
I have become Death, the destroyer of electronic gadgets
"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
Did you try weatherunderground?
I don't know if it's better than TWC in forecast but it's got a lot more information more friendly accessible for users, especially for local weather. Disclaimer: I didn't start paying close attention to weather until I started running.
The NWS has localized weather pages too that display regional/local forecast map (short & long term) on top, followed by other observational/forecast/hydrology maps that include radar, satellite(different bands), weather map, then also the tabulated ground observation at stations in the area. Few people know this service, I guess. (weather maps are great for following a system. NWS has routinely generated animated forecast maps for upto a week).
Also, the NWS does not have a local office in every city/town. In that case it's quite possible to miss local deviation from the synoptic weather forecast or even obs.
EDIT: TWC is so commercialized. It's more like a weather news channel than a weather channel now.
The Crap Whisperer
I prefer NOAA. They have an hourly weather graph that helps when I'm making decisions on a run now or later sort of thing. They should pay me for as much as I talk about their site.
Yes, weather channel is silly. Use NOAA instead
Being the best tiny spec that I can be!
I tend to use weatherunderground.com because they have many smaller stations online. Some of those stations (usually maintained by individuals) happen to be at trailheads or very close. (I've not been able to find them on other websites.) A couple even have webcams so you can see the snow depth. One even posts an "alert" when it's too warm to use the ski trails, and they're closed. (that's a new one this fall for the new ski trails that just went in - first no snow, then some snow, then too warm)
With the wind variations we get coming from two glacial valleys, it's really helpful to see the current wind patterns to verify which trail to use that day. You can zoom out on the map to see the temperature / wind patterns or zoom in for specifics. Those wind variations can occur in less than 1-2 mile distance - calm and 0F at the airport, 40mph wind, +40F at my house. Double click for site history.
You summed up my 2-Paragraph rant in one sentence! Compaprable to the TV version of Reader's Digest "Drama in Real Life", only the stories are the same ones repeated every month.
--I was thinking about this "Named Storm events" thing... Perhaps they could make alot more cash off of it if they had Beer sponsors for each winter storm. "Winter Storm Amstel is arriving in 2 days... Stock up now!"
-- It starts out well in the beginning of the alphabet, "Amstel, Budweiser, Corona, Dos Equis..." , but then seems to fade as the season goes: "Keystone, Lowenbrau, Milwaukees Best, Natural Light, PBR, Schlitz" ...
But still, just think of the advertising dollars they could generate! Hell, we commercialize everything else in this country, why not winter storms?

What's the deal with the weather channel and weather.com naming winter storms like hurricanes. Apparently we're up to some damn thing called "Freyr".
Why on earth do we need to do this????
What's the deal with the weather channel and weather.com naming winter storms like hurricanes. Apparently we're up to some damn thing called "Freyr".
Why on earth do we need to do this????
Has the feel of someone trying to force a trend---and that always feels vaguely like trying to pass a bowling bowl (which I've never done, but have come close after eating a 16oz block of cheddar cheese during The Blizzard Of 78---a visit to the john that will live in infamy and shall always remain nameless).
Speaking of that blizzard, it's name was perfect, no? "Of '78"---has a ring to it. 1978 had Bucky Dent zinging the Sox in the 1 game playoff, the Camp David accords were signed, and there was forced bussing in Boston schools. This naming of snowstorms seems to be about as popular as the latter was.
It's a spinoff of the shameless, soulless naming of horrible events on the news channels, which gives the perception that a mass murder or disaster on which they are reporting is a shiny packaged show.
And about the word "bussing"--spell check marks it as a misspelling. Checked it on Google, it gave me the "did you mean busing?". Now, maybe I'm just getting to be an ol' fart, but when I see "busing", I read it like the word "abusing" without the "a". Or like "using." I was taught in school back in 1928 that a double "s" was needed to keep the the short u sound. Bussing.
I've noticed a lot of changes in spelling rules as I get older that I just don't know when they arrived. Sorry about the mini-hijack, Mr. Lopez.

Yes, weather channel is silly. Use NOAA instead
I am a NOAA fan also, and I do exactly as you do, checking the hourly graph to see if the rain is going to let up if I wait or if I may as well go out and get soaked b/c nothing is changing. Pretty straightforward, nothing too cute or catchy about it.
I went to check out NOAA, and it just took me to weather.gov, which I've been using all along.
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject. - S.J.
www.noaa.gov ,that is what I have used all along. Well, I also used www.accuweather.com in the past, but nowadays they have screwed up the radars, and fluffed that site up so much that it seems a copy of the TWC site now. So I am back to my faithful site: NOAA. (One of the Few Government funded agencies that actually does a good job!)
Yeah that NOAA local forecast is pretty cool. I like the pictures of the upcoming days forcasts. Makes it easy and quick to get an idea. I'm making it my new go-to weather site.
As far as the idea of named winter storms, I give it a thumbs up. I'm not so sure a private enterprise like TWC should do it however.

SharkieScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Dan and his best friend Dave were out fishing when they noticed a shark circling their dinghy. Whenever they tried to move the boat, the shark would barge into it, nearly causing it to capsize. "Never mind," said Dan. "If we wait long enough, it'll get tired, and while it's asleep we can sneak away."
Was this good advice?
AnswerNo; sharks don't sleep.

Mahathir: Filipino War Refugees to be Placed in Malaysian Camp
Filipinos fleeing to Malaysia to escape a military attack on Muslim rebels will be treated as war refugees and placed in a camp, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said Thursday.
"We cannot accept them as illegal immigrants but as war refugees who will be placed in a special camp," Mahathir was reported as saying by the national news agency Bernama.
"If they come, we will treat them like we treated the Vietnamese (refugees) previously," referring to the boat people who fled to neighboring Asian countries to escape communist rule in Vietnam.
Mahathir, speaking to reporters after opening a media conference, added that the Filipino refugees would not be allowed out of the camp unless they were willing to be deported.
Philippine security forces last weekend launched a major offensive against Abu Sayyaf Islamic gunmen holding 19 hostages on the southern island of Jolo, near Malaysia's eastern Sabah state.
Two French journalists have since escaped from the Abu Sayyaf.
Three of the remaining captives are Malaysians snatched from the Pandanan resort island off Sabah on September 10 -- the second in five months on its eastern islands.
Less than five months earlier, the Abu Sayyaf abducted nine Malaysians and 12 foreigners from the Sipadan dive resort -- KUALA LUMPUR (AFP)

Thread: Asymmetric Co-op Games
Asymmetric Co-op Games
I remember hearing about an indie curtain shooter which aimed to let (for example) some leet kid play with their Casual Parent Gamer (or a parent play with their tiny child-n00b). The idea was that the primary player would be doing ordinary curtain shooter stuff, dodging thousands of bullets at once and generally being dextrous. The secondary player would be a sort of "satellite ghost thing" that rotated around the main ship and didn't need to worry about dodging bullets at all, but was only there to provide extra suppressing fire or healing -- so they were playing a very different game that didn't require the crazy dodging skills, instead focusing on one or two simple tasks, but still contributing to the overall excitement.
I can't remember the name of that game right now :( but I've always thought it was an interesting idea for co-op. I know MMOs and suchlike are somewhat asymmetrical with different characters fulfilling very different roles, but still, you'd consider all the characters in a group to be on fairly equal footing. (Same with games like Trine).
Now let me tell you about my greatest RTS experience ever, which involved three camels. (Stop me if you've heard this one before). I was playing 2v2 Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome; my teammate was very good, I was pretty bad, and our opponents were mediocre. I was obliterated early on, but managed to rescue THREE CAMEL RIDERS! I didn't even have a way to get more villagers to try and bounce back. =) Thus, the rest of the game, which went on for a respectable length of five or so hours, involved me running these camels around, raiding unprotected villagers, doing recon for my Mighty Teammate, and stopping back near his priests for healing. My camels were slightly faster than anything our opponents were fielding, and I don't know if they made a difference to the final victorious outcome, but in my imagination they were glorious camelteers, striking at a bloated and ungainly foe, buckling swashes, et cetera. I traded off with my brother and cousin throughout the five hours, so we could continue to keep the legacy alive.
Thinking on it, I wish to have more such experiences, where two people are working together but on very different scales, with very different tools and levels of attention. Perhaps a team of elite commandos (p1) supported by an army (p2) as in my example; on the wackier end of the spectrum, maybe something like The Sims, where the main Sim of the household is controlled independently as a Third Person not-Shooter by player2 (this would be best if communication were only possible via icons and gestures =P).
For some reason, those FPS games where one player is the "commander" never really seem that good to me, so you can certainly suggest them as asymmetrical co-op but I doubt I'll be excited. ;)
There's also EVE which is probably very different depending on what you fly...other than that, I can't think of many cooperative experiences that are likely to have such a wide variance in scale. HOW ABOUT YOU, INTERNET?The Secret of Gargoyle Manor, a browser point-and-click adventure about retrieving your lost hat whatever the cost, is something you could play!
Another question is whether or not both players should have the same basic control scheme. From my extensive experience with The Camelteers I think it's most effective when you do have the same controls...I think that's why I never liked the "FPS + Commander Mode" style of games so much, and it's also part of why the "Curtain Shooter + Easy Curtain Shooter" pairing sounds promising. It's fun to be the secondary player and be able to say "I am doing something similar to you, team-mate, but in a much more limited and highly specialized / supportive way."
Of course it would probably only take one good genre-mashup game to change my mind and make me think disparate control schemes are alright too. =)The Secret of Gargoyle Manor, a browser point-and-click adventure about retrieving your lost hat whatever the cost, is something you could play!
Fear 3. Pointy Man bullet-times, drives mechs and karate-kicks enemies. Fuckton Petal possesses enemies, throws blood at them or suspends them in the air for Pointy Man.
^ a concise, yet poignant, summary
Hmm...I guess a game like Battlefield or Tribes or similar, where you can have a driver and some number of gunners, also does a good job with this (and this also explains why I spend *most* of my time in Tribes Ascend trying to hitch rides or convince other people to do so =P).
(Also, to go briefly console-side -- if there has not been yet, there should be a Zelda game that lets player 2 be the requisite Tutorial Fairy, complete with "HEY!!!" button).The Secret of Gargoyle Manor, a browser point-and-click adventure about retrieving your lost hat whatever the cost, is something you could play!
Suggestions: Sonic 2,3 and Knuckles (its on pc, so it counts) sonic is the cautious survivor, tails are the resurrecting suicide bomber, tails cant control the camera, but cant really die either.
Renegade ops every character has a "power", no 2 are the same. Dawn of war Retribution campaign might be a turd narratively but it plays wonderfully in coop as imperial guard there are massive differences between a commissar and a few squads of guardsmen, both equally vital of course. Alien swarm is class based, the heavy gunner and the medic form a good 2 player odd couple.

In case of forum degradation pull cord.
In that stead, the best type of game is when you have multiple commanders running large NPC armies as a true RTS, and the FPS players are vastly outnumbered by the NPCs at all times.
Maybe Monaco ?
In general, you could start looking for cooperative games with bad balance. Let your kid or pet or whatever play the overpowered character.pass
Super Mario Galaxy 2
All you'd need for the second player is a mouse, or a single analogue stick on a 2nd gamepad. If you want to go fully authentic, you can hand them a wiimote plus.
pretty easy to rip the game and run it on PC. Hella expensive compared to PC games though - $65

STAR of The Apprentice Nick Hewer will officially open the new Community Centre at Christ Church tomorrow.
Nick, also of Countdown fame, will be joined by members of the Morris family, descendants of William Morris – the founder of the Swindon Advertiser in 1854.
The family will be in attendance to celebrate the re-siting of their family monument in the newly established garden of reflection.
A specially commissioned artwork by Laurie Plant, showing local Old Town scenes will also be unveiled during the morning.
Following the official ceremony, the centre will be open to the general public to look around until 3.30pm. There will be displays featuring many of the local groups and clubs currently using the building.
Project manager Stephen Grosvenor said: "The official opening of the centre is the culmination of just over 18 months work to replace the 45-year-old former leisure centre with a flexible, modern and sustainable resource for the local community."
The work was made possible by a number of grants and donations from Swindon Council, The Hills Group through the Landfill Communities Fund, the Awards for All Lottery scheme, the Bernard Sunley Trust, as well as from many individual donations from local people and businesses.
The new centre is situated in the grounds of Christ Church and was designed by Antony Feltham King of St Ann's Gate Architects in Salisbury.
Nick Hewer
It features a large hall which can be subdivided to create a garden room. It also has built in wi-fi, a well equipped kitchen, meeting room, disabled facilities and a storeroom. The church's parish office has been relocated to the west end of the new building.
Mr Grosvenor said: "Access to the centre has been improved with a new road and pathways, and the area around it is being developed into a garden of reflection for the use of those visiting the church and the burial ground.
"The William Morris memorial was relocated from its original site in front of the new entrance to be a feature of the new garden, which was designed by Rachel Titcombe, a local designer, who won our competition back in July."
Tomorrow evening, everyone is welcome to a family quiz event starting at 8pm – there will be snacks and a licenced bar available. Tickets are £2 per entry. Limited tickets are available so book in advance to avoid disappointment. You can do this online at www.christchurchswindon.co.uk

Jeisuke wrote:With the exception of a few fringe scholars, most serious linguists (especially Japanese) dismiss the historicity of Jindaimoji.
Those denials are not actually made by especially Japanese scholars. Please keep in-mind those Koreans who have both acquired Japanese identities and name. Most of these so-called academic dismissals were formed on racialistic and nationalistic points.
Jeisuke wrote:There are a few modern books on the subject (I will dig up their titles when I return home), but even they are only written for the Koshintoists who still actually believe in Izanami/Izanagi/Amaterazu-Oomikami, etc.
We should not mix religious faith with historical linguistics.
Jeisuke wrote:The (short) reasons why Jindaimoji cannot be authentic are:
1. No demonstrable use before the late 1700s (which is after the Imjin invasion of Korea). King Sejong had produced the Hunmin Jeong'eum in the mid 1400s.
There are evidences in both Mainland China and Japan as well as on the Korean Penisula that, the Jindai Moji has existed predated Hangeul by two thousand years.
Jeisuke wrote:2. By the late 1700s, the Japanese language had changed from that used in the Man'youshu. The Man'yougana used to write names, places and gramatical parts seems to indicated that Japanese at that time had 7 vowels instead of 5 as is recorded in ALL the so-called Jindaimoji scripts (Moritsune, Iyo, Hizin, Ahiru, Awa, etc). If the Jindaimoji was of such antiquity, we would expect to have the alternate "o" and alternate "e" indicated as well. The now-archaic ゐ、ゑ are indicated as would be expected of something produced in the 17~18 century
3. Starting from a syllabry to logographs and then back to a syllabry is not known in any other script evolution.
And says who the Jindai Moji characters are a syllabry? They presume it is a syllabry when the entire Jindai Moji characters are not actually deciphered. Such presumptions are common, but also, likely to be in total error.
Jeisuke wrote: I just wish they weren't so tied to the ultra-nationalist lunatic fringe in Japan.
It's the other-way-round.

We live in contradictory times. Technology is moving faster than ever before. We routinely conduct meetings with colleagues from all over the world while each member is still sitting comfortably at their own desk. It seems that as soon as a new electronic device is placed on store shelves, the next generation of that device is being promoted. On the other hand, many people are trying to revert to simpler times with regard to their personal health and well-being. The need to "unplug" and get back to nature has never been greater. The popularity of organic food and natural personal care products are on the rise.
The influence of this movement to more natural solutions is particularly evident in the area of cosmetics preservation. Many traditional preservatives have come under attack. Whether these attacks are valid or not, the questions that they raise have moved many personal care product manufacturers to look for gentler, safer alternatives. Natural alternatives have been promoted, but many of these can be expensive and can adversely affect the color, odor or other aesthetic properties of a formulation. This has lead to the development of nature-identical materials. These materials maintain all of the beneficial characteristics of naturals, while allowing other characteristics, such as color, odor and availability to be more easily standardized.
schülke has been studying all aspects of microbiological control for over a century, giving them a unique perspective on the development of novel preservation methods. Their development efforts in the area of personal care preservation combine the best of synthetic, nature-identical and natural materials. Beginning in 1992, with the introduction of euxyl® K 702, schülke began offering soft, organic acid-based preservative blends. They now offer a range of organic acid-based systems for a variety of needs.
schülke's soft, non-traditional preservation systems have expanded to include the sensiva® range. This line of multifunctional additives has evolved from gentle, synthetic sensiva® SC 50—preservative booster and deodorant—to sensiva® PA 20—replacement for phenoxyethanol-blends, based on a nature-identical fragrance additive. The latest addition to this evolution is sensiva® PA 30.
sensiva® PA 30 is composed of half natural and half nature-identical materials to offer a lower odor, more broad-spectrum antimicrobial stabilizer as compared to most natural options. The standardization and consistent supply characteristic of nature-identical materials is particularly important for a preservative system that needs to reliably protect product and consumer against microbial contamination.
New developments will take this concept to the next level. schülke is preparing to launch a combination of natural, nature-identical and gentle synthetic materials to provide ideal protection for personal care products with results more similar to traditional preservative blends. More information and samples will be available by late-September.
Technology and nature coexist in our modern lives. Personal care manufacturers are combining the best of science and nature to produce uniquely effective products. By combining natural, nature-identical and gentle synthetic materials, schülke has created preservation systems to meet the needs of the modern personal care market.

Oral Breathing Devices for SnoringSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Several oral devices have been tested to treat people with snoring, including a tongue-retaining device that is worn while sleeping. It pushes the tongue and jaw forward, improving airflow. Changing the position of the lower jaw enlarges the airway and decreases the chance that it will collapse when you inhale. This may reduce snoring. This device is called a mandibular repositioning device.
Some oral breathing devices supply electrical stimulation to the throat muscles to prevent the airway from collapsing when you sleep.
Research shows that oral breathing devices can reduce snoring.footnote 1
Possible problems with devices that fit inside the mouth may include:
- Buildup of saliva in the mouth, requiring frequent swallowing.
- Discomfort, especially in the morning. Because the devices can be uncomfortable, people tend not to use them over the long term.
- Damage to teeth, soft tissues in the mouth, and the jaw joints. A dentist or orthodontist needs to fit the device to prevent these problems.
Excess saliva in your mouth and mild discomfort should become less bothersome with regular use.

HOUSTON - According to court documents, Lacresha Willams and her girlfriend Shontell Young, beat Williams 7 year0old disabled son.
Investigators say Williams and Young abused the boy over an extended period of time.
Court documents show that authorties found out about the alleged abuse earlier this month.
They said the boy arrived at school with severe cut on his hands and was full of blood.
The boy told the school counselor and school nurse that his mother's girlfriend cut his fingers with a yellow knife while cutting tape off of his hands.
Administrators asked why there was tape around his hands, but the child could not elaborate.
The school nurse said the boy's fingers were bleeding so profusely that they had to be bandaged several times.
Documents further elaborated on the abuse, the child said that if he urinated on himself during the night, he would be forced to wear the soiled clothing to school the next day.
Administrators said that the child was always hungry at school and would always steal food from his classmates, teacher and the cafeteria.
The child and his siblings were taken to Texas Children's Hospital for an assessment, there he told them he was pushed down and dragged across the garage.
He also said he was constantly "whooped" and did not receive food as punishment.
The child had multiple extensive scars and scratches over his back, face, neck, arms, stomach and legs, according to court documents.
The boy suffered abdominal distension and elevated belly labs indicative of chronic abuse.

AN MP in Worcestershire says Prime Minister David Cameron would be right to rule out another coalition.
Peter Luff, who represents Mid-Worcestershire, says he believes the country would benefit more from "a strong one party Government" to avoid promises being broken.
Reports in the national press suggest David Cameron is preparing to pledge in the party's 2015 general election manifesto that he will not enter into another coalition in the event of a hung parliament.
The tactic would mean voters are confronted with backing a Tory Government, or allowing Labour into power, as either one party or a Lab-Lib partnership.
Mr Luff said: "Nobody this side wants to be in coalition, all of us want a single party Government.
"The coalition has worked surprisingly well but ultimately nobody voted for it, nobody wanted it.
"It would be much better if we had a strong one party Government because less promises are broken that way.
"Governments of one party can make promises they want and intend to keep, so (David Cameron) is right to want to move away from a coalition.
"But my worry would be that the British political system could be irretrievably broken with UKIP, the Lib Dems and all the other parties involved."
Worcester MP Robin Walker agreed but said the current deal was the only option at the moment.
"My belief and understanding is that the public don't like coalitions, but after the last election it was the only option," he said.
"In the circumstances I think it was the right and responsible thing to do, to have two parties working together in the national interest."
Private polling for the Conservatives is said to have shown that voters are increasingly disenchanted with the idea of coalition and want a clearer sense of direction from a government.
That is believed to have led Mr Cameron to move towards ruling it out to give them a clear choice of one of the two main parties.
A public poll by Ipsos MORI last month also showed that 65 per cent of voters believe that a second hung parliament would be bad for Britain.
Nick Clegg, the Lib Dem leader, has publicly said that he wants to remain in power after the election by striking a deal with either of the larger parties.

About the Author
Trish Morey wrote her first book at age 11 for a children's book-week competition. Entitled Island Dreamer, it tells the story of an orphaned girl and her life on Hindmarsh Island--a small island at the mouth of the Murray River--and was totally self-published. She wrote, illustrated and stitched the pages together herself (her earliest and least successful experience with body piercing!). Island Dreamer was also to be her first rejection--her entry was disqualified unread because she'd transposed the copyright and title pages. This rejection had a devastating effect on the young writer's psyche. Shattered and broken, she turned to a life where she could combine her love of fiction with her need for creativity. You guessed it--Trish became a chartered accountant.
Life wasn't all dull, though, as she embarked on a skydiving course, completing three jumps before deciding that she'd given her fear of heights a run for its money and it was time to retire her parachute and hang around on terra firma for a while.
Prepared to set the financial world alight, Trish moved from her native Adelaide to Canberra, where she promptly fell in love with a handsome guy who cut computer code. Marriage followed a few years later, along with a stint in Wellington, New Zealand, where Trish worked for the NZ Treasury. There she penned her second book--A Guide to Departmental Budgeting. It didn't have a huge print run and the royalties were nonexistent, but she'd learned something--the pages were at least stapled. Unfortunately, she never got to complete the surefire sequel and New York Times bestseller, Asset Management, as her hormones intervened with ahealthy dose of motherhood.
Two years later and back home in Canberra after the birth of their second daughter, Trish spied an article announcing that Mills & Boon was actively seeking new authors. It was one of those "Eureka!" moments. Her whole life clicked into place and immediately she embarked on a professional writing course. She sent off a couple of partials, earned a couple of rejections, had a couple more daughters and even had a couple of feature articles published in the newspapers. Just so she wouldn't get bored, the family moved countries a couple more times. Their third daughter was born in Hemel Hempstead, England, by sheer coincidence, the same town Trish's aunt had been born some 70 years prior, before the family had emigrated to Australia.
Living in the UK offered more than just the chance to check out the NHS system, though, and the young family took the opportunity to explore farther afield, visiting France, Italy and even Crete, as well as many magical sites in the UK. Tintagel in Cornwall and Hadrian's Wall stand out as two of the highlights.
Back in Australia and now with four daughters, Trish knew it was time to get serious with her writing. She started entering the contests offered by Romance Writers of Australia, achieving third place in her first competition. More successes followed, along with closer involvement in RWA Australia. Trish managed three contests for RWA before serving on the RWA Executive in 2002-3 as conference coordinator, organizing the 2003 Gold Coast "Passion in Paradise" conference. Trish is currently vice president of RWA Australia.
In 2002 Trish entered the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart contest for the first time and was amazed and delighted to final in the short contemporary section. The same manuscript was already under consideration in London, and in June 2003 (actually June 18th at 6:32 p.m.) the magical phone call came. Mills & Boon wanted to buy her book!
According to Trish, selling a book is a major life achievement that ranks up there with jumping out of an airplane and motherhood. All three take commitment, determination and sheer guts, but the effort is so very, very worthwhile.

Where Do You Find Your Peace and Harmony?
Anne Ashby
But it is not to the land that I turn in times of angst or sadness, but the sea. In another life was I a fish or a dolphin? A turtle or a whale? Or is it just that I was born under the sign of the fish? The sea is so much a part of me, it's like the salt air is essential to my life. I'm so grateful to still be able to live within walking distance of our coastline. To me, the sea is always breath-taking in each of its many moods. It sooths, it scares, it strengthens, but most of all it empowers me. In its enormity it reminds me that while I am but a speck upon its shore I am still essential. The sea has never failed to provide me with peace and harmony, or the inspiration and adventure I seek.

Another proud Kiwi here!
I was lucky enough to be a preliminary reader for your story as it was going through the initial query stage for TWRP. I was thrilled to be assigned this story and fell in love with Shal and Jodie immediately. I got such a kick out of reading about a setting I was so familiar with too - but when combined with such great writing - I was in heaven!
I encourage everyone to read this story - I can't recommend it highly enough.
Now, I'm off to buy my own copy. It'l be interesting to see what if anything has changed during the editing stage :)
I loved your description of your home and the excerpt.
Anne said: "But it is not to the land that I turn in times of angst or sadness, but the sea. In another life was I a fish or a dolphin? A turtle or a whale?"
I LOVE the ocean! If I could choose to live anywhere in the world, it would be near the sea. It's so peaceful, yet fearsome. It's so full of life, constantly moving, always changing. I love it!
And I enjoyed the excerpt, too. Thanks for taking the time to visit with us!
Nice post your book sounds very intriguing and nice hook ending there. Congratulations on the book.
I didn't mean to post twice it kept rejecting the code I typed in. GOOD LUCK with the book and may it sell off the shelves.
Hi Everybody,
thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Kathy, I'm not sure if I'm that good at hooks so thanks for your comment, dont worry about the extra post, adds to the numbers and looks great lol. Ella, thanks for commenting, come visit NZ one day.
Hey Ruth,
Are you a Pieces? I often wondered if that helped me appreciate the sea so much. Or maybe it was just growing up beside it. Thanks for sharing your love
I messed up my last post, sorry. Hey we have got to meet sometime. You going to conference this year? What lovely things you've said, thank you so much. I didnt know you were my preliminary reader - you will find some changes, its a little spicier now, only a little, mind you. Thanks for your encouraging post
I'd love to be going to conference this year - but since being in the South Island, found it just that little bit harder to find the money - especially with other family commitments up that way throughout the year.
When I do though, it'll be great to meet up! :) I'd been to two conferences when I lived in Auckland and they are what encouraged me to keep writing. What an amazing organisation!
What a lovely post, Anne! you make me want to visit that bleak, isolated but magical south Island :) Good luck on the book!
Anne, your book sounds wonderful and the cover is gorgeous. As a fellow RWNZ member (Auckland chapter) I wish you all the very best.
Cheers - and happy writing.
Amanda :)
Hi TJ, I'm not biased or anything (yeah right) but you'd be welcomed for sure. Southland is actually warm and green and filled with friendly people. Nothing bleak about it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting
Hi Amanda
thanks, I actually hoped to have Waitakere bush in the foreground of the cover with Sky Tower behind - it would have expressed more about what the story is - but was still happy how it turned out. Look forward to seeing you next month
I love your comment about the sea and the emotions it inspires. Our Lake Michigan which is really an inland sea, as it is so large, does that for me. Since I live right on the shoreline and all my major windows look onto its panoramic views, I am constantly awed by its emotions and thus the feelings those inspire within me.
Sounds like a good book!
Sounds like a wonderful story. Makes me want to go and visit NZ.
I love reading stories that are in other countries. I feel like I am actually visiting the people that live there. :-))
New Zealand is pretty high on my list of countries I'd love to visit (not just because of Lord of the Rings, though the movies sure helped). Your article adds a specific desire to see the South Island. I very much enjoyed your book's teaser as well!

"Beautiful stickers that I used to seal my pocket fold with wedding invitations inside. Guests thought it was a great touch!"
"Very beautiful! As others have said, it does look more like a sand when printed than a gold ring but it does clearly state in the description that it does not have any metallic ink or foil. Perfect size to go on top of my jam jar favours."
"Super easy to personalize, I picked a certain pink and it was spot on what I wanted, the paper quality is very very good nice thick paper. Super girly and so perfect for my bridal shower!"
"At first, we were skeptical with the quality of these gift tags, so we ordered a sample lot of 10 qty. We were impressed with the delivery time, the paper stock and quality of the print. Suffice to say, we ordered another lot of 110 qty with brace-cut corners. We have to say, these tags are gorgeous compliments to our wedding favors!"
"The design request service allowed me to request that the "gift tag" sticker from the suite be converted to a circle address label. The result was perfect."

Government legislation challenged in the Lords - Friday 3rd December 2010
Continuing its hurtling pace through Parliament, the Voting System and Constituencies Bill faced its third sitting at Committee Stage in the House of Lords yesterday, with peers demonstrating their commitment to scrutiny.
A sanctuary for debate, free from programme motions and amendment selection, the Second Chamber can be difficult ground for government policy to navigate. Votes in the House have recently forced major revision to both the Identity Documents Bill and the Public Bodies Bill, proving that not only is the Government vulnerable to resistance from the opposition and cross-brenchers but even from within its own ranks.
The first set of amendments debated last week centred on the proposed Alternative Vote, the date of the associated referendum and proposals to make it indicative rather than binding. All were defeated and the Bill proceeded unchanged to the second sitting of Committee on Tuesday.
Only two hours of debate were required then to persuade peers of the merit of an amendment tabled by Labour's Lord Rooker. With a majority of just four votes, the House voted to change the wording of the Bill to allow more flexibility in the scheduling of the AV referendum next year. The legislation now dictates that the referendum be held "before 31 October", rather than specifying the exact date in May.
A further amendment to prohibit the coincidence of the referendum with other elections did not receive such endorsement and debate proceeded on the merits of offering the electorate a wider choice of voting systems and changing the format of the referendum to follow the two-stage model used to introduce electoral reform in New Zealand.
Still set for debate in the remaining committee stages, amongst others, are popular amendments tabled by the Labour peer Lord Lipsey. If successful, these would force the government to consult on the reduction in the number of MPs and to relax the amount by which constituencies may vary from the average size.
Such amendments reflect the findings of Select Committees charged with scrutinising the Bill in both Houses and have wide support amongst academics. The debate then, is likely to be fierce.
The recent peers' list (42 Coalition and just 10 Labour) will no doubt go some way to bolster the government position in the remaining divisions but, as the House has shown, victory is by no means a certainty. Obvious from their debate at Second Reading is their Lordships' overriding commitment to legislative quality, not party.

A subsequent vote in the Lords was narrowly defeated, meaning that the progress of the Bill will not be slowed as anticipated.

Fri, 13th August 2010

The unseemly haste to introduce fixed term parliaments
Thu, 16th September 2010
Like the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill, the Fixed term Parliaments Bill is being rushed through Parliament, with woefully inadequate time for scrutiny. Yet the Bill contains novel provisions which will have a profound impact on votes of no confidence and dissolution of Parliament - not least the abolition of one of the Queen's prerogative powers. Why the hurry?

The Politics of Electoral Reform
Fri, 30th July 2010
A Bill is currently before Parliament to propose a referendum on electoral reform and boundary changes. To date, none of the main political parties has given reasons why a change from our First Past the Post system of electing members to the House of Commons ought to be changed to a system of Alternative Voting. We examine the implications of a change in voting system and look at some of the, perhaps unforeseen, consequences of the changes which the Bill proposes.
Looking for that special someone: the enduring relationship between politicians and special advisers
Thu, 29th July 2010
We take a look at special advisers, often thought of as a recent phenomenon. However closer examination reveals that special advisers have been around as long as politicians.

House of Lords reform: the Lords are speaking - is anyone listening?
Sun, 11th July 2010
The first weighty debate of proposals to reform the House of Lords took place on 29th June 2010. Though ignored in the media, the debate included some of the most cogently reasoned arguments for and against a move from an appointed to an elected House, with a majority of the 65 peers participating in the debate expressing concern at the prospect of the creation of 'a pale imitation of the House of Commons'.
Experts join calls for joined-up thinking in the scramble for constitutional reform
Sat, 24th July 2010
In a further valuable contribution to the burgeoning debate on constitutional reform in general, and the codification of the British constitution in particular, a group of constitutional experts led by Stephen Hockman QC and Professor Vernon Bogdanor have called for a holistic approach to the constitution. In a paper published by JUSTICE, the group analyses the questions which need resolution before any moves can be made towards the creation of a codified constitution.

The Speaker speaks of his plans for the future
Wed, 16th June 2010
The Rt Hon John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons outlined his vision of a revitalised chamber of the House of Commons. The new Parliament has seen an encouraging number of new faces in the House taking an active interest in the business of the Chamber. But what will it take to sustain that enthusiasm and reinvigorate debate in the House?
Fear and Lothian in Westminster. The English question is not going to go away
Mon, 7th June 2010
Both the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru have stated that they intend to exploit the hung parliament to their own advantage, once again putting the spotlight on the 'English question' - that Scottish and Welsh MPs may vote in Westminster on issues that affect only England, whilst English MPs have no say in relation to the deliberations of the Scottish parliament or the Welsh assembly. We look at whether there will ever be a solution to this problem.

EU Foreign Policy: to boldly go where none has gone before?
Tue, 18th May 2010
The European Union has been criticised in the past for failing to develop a more effective foreign policy, but the External Action Service is supposed to bring new cohesion and coherence to this area of European cooperation. However, the new High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Baroness Ashton, has already run into opposition to her plans and, although a compromise has been struck, the road ahead scarcely looks any easier.
A plea for extra time: PR should not be a political football
Wed, 12th May 2010
The negotiations leading to the formation of the new coalition government have turned, in part, on the question of electoral reform. A matter of such constitutional importance should, it is argued, form part of a wider review of the constitution and should not be used merely as a political bargaining chip. Will sufficient time be given to consider the implications of change before reforms are pushed through?
Should civil servants have the tyranny of the first draft? Peter Lloyd considers the Cabinet Secretary's "Cabinet Manual"
Thu, 6th May 2010
Peter Lloyd questions the provenance of the recently disclosed 'Cabinet Manual'. Amid suggestions that the manual might form the basis of a written constitution, he questions whether it should be for a civil servant to generate the first draft of such a fundamental document.
Sound bites vs. quiet reflection: Better Government requires a considered approach
Sat, 1st May 2010
In a letter published in the Financial Times this week, members of The Constitution Society and the Better Government Initiative outline four basic principles of good government that could improve the legislative process. The principles are difficult to fault, and could be implemented without legislation, but the question will remain whether there is any incentive for politicians to change the way that they behave.
Crisis, What crisis?
Tue, 13th April 2010
At a debate of the Society of Cogers on 19th April 2010, Nat le Roux, Chairman of the Trustees of the Constitution Society, argued that our problem may not lie with our constitution itself, but rather with the conduct of our politicians. He suggested that the single biggest problem of contemporary democracy - is that all politicians are terrified of losing power, because the lesson of the last 30 years is that once you've lost power you don't get it back for a generation.
Rip it up and start again: the only way to deal with the House of Lords?
Mon, 26th April 2010
In an article published for the first time on the ReConstitution website, Professor Dawn Oliver argues that we should resist political pressure to reform the House of Lords by making it an elected body. She proposes abolishing the House of Lords and starting from scratch by the creation of a wholly appointed Commission for Executive Scrutiny, with proposals which chime with views expressed by Lord Bingham.

Are new faces enough?
Wed, 21st April 2010
Will the problems with Parliament be solved by the retirement of many of the worst expenses offenders and an influx of new MPs? There is a perceptible mood for change amongst voters, but will altering some of the personnel be enough to restore confidence in both Parliament and the 'constitution' of the United Kingdom?

HOUSTON - Most of people know better than to give out personal information to a stranger, but a survey some of people received by mail is raising a red flag.
The questionnaire is from the Census Bureau. Consumer expert Amy Davis is getting new details on exactly what the federal government is doing with all the data it collects.
The American Community Survey goes out to about 3.5 million people every year. When Houstonian Kristina Sullivan got hers, she emailed Davis with her concerns.
"They're asking about financial things," Sullivan explained. "And that is a red flag."
There are dozens of questions about the type of vehicles members of a household drive and how much people spend on electricity each year.
"I've done the census before and these weren't questions that I recall ever having to answer on the census," said Sullivan.
KPRC Local 2 discovered a lot of people are concerned about the nature of the questions. Earlier this year, the Republican-led House voted to eliminate the survey altogether on the grounds that the government should not be butting its nose into Americans' homes.
The Census Bureau said it is information states and counties use to fund programs, schools and roads. A letter that comes with the survey explains "You are required by US law to respond to this survey" and "The Census Bureau is required by law to keep your answers confidential."
Online, KPRC Local 2 found a video made by the Census Bureau that features Target executives explaining how the questions help the retailer stock its stores across the country. In the comments under the YouTube video, one man wrote "I can see where our Founding Fathers implemented the census to help Target with their demographics."
A Census representative said all individual answers are absolutely confidential, but the answers are pooled and made public online. Target, just like any business or person has access to the statistical information about communities across the country.
People are required by law to fill out the survey if they receive one. A person can be fined up to $5,000 for not participating, but the Census Bureau said no one has been fined in recent history. They try instead to encourage citizens to provide the information.

Does each DIV on page need to be unique?
This question is a little unclear, but divs are all the same, until you add ids or classes to them. ids must be unique, whereas classes can be re-used as they're a 'class'ifying a common grouping.Got anymore information? Hope this helped.
Well you can have 2 div's with the same name provided one is an "div id" and the other is a "div class".
But you can't have the same name for two "divs" or "classes".
As PicNet pointed out clearly, you can use a class as many times as you like (though don't do it too much ).
@justlukeyou—as pointed out, the question is too vague. You need to be more specific. A div is just a generic container useful for styling.
I have this is as an example. I am using "homesocialtopcell" twice. Should I only use once an rename the second one or do something different?

Not just "should" but "must". You are only allowed to use an ID name once per page. Repeating ID names is not allowed. Unless you're using it as an internal anchor or a Javascript hook, you're possibly better off changing it from ID to class, rather than changing the name for the second one and then redefining everything in the CSS.
Could I number the DIVs
&
 etc
How does that compare redifining everything in the CSS. That sounds alot more complicated and alot more work tbh
If you give them different IDs then you have to define all the styling on both of them in the CSS. Why do you need to use IDs rather than classes?
The answer is 'NO'. DIVs are just a generic block element and have no requirement as such. It depends on your styling intentions.
In fact for efficient CSS you should look for commonalities.
To clarify, if you want to style ALL DIVs so that their BG is pink you can do this:div{background: pink;}
Now if you wanted only certain divs to have a pink background you can do this by a dding a class:.pinky{background: pink;}

if you INTEND for only one THAT SPECIFIC div to be UNIQUE then you can target it by giving it an ID, as such

Again, your layout and styling intentions will determine how you will want to target and address each div.
Hope that helps.
Im not totally sure I understand this. If I want to make a DIV background Pink I can do this easily. However If I can only use a DIV once how can I look for commonalities.
What is the difference between a DIV and Class.
Should I turn the 2 homesocialtopcell into classes?
You can use multiple DIV they are just standard HTML elements like many other tags such as a paragraph "P" element, with no special identification with regards to applying CSS. A plain DIV is just as a DIV (clones). However, a DIV with an associated class attribute and name value differs since it has the attribute 'class' which you can specifically target with CSS.
Albeit each ID attribute acts as a UNIQUE IDENTIFIER and each value acts like a serial number so you cannot have two ID within a HTML document called: id="dog" and id="dog". But you may have one called: "dog" and another one called "cat".
With "Class" values you can have MULTIPLE occurrences; so you could have: class="donkey", class="donkey", class="donkey" infinitum.
If you want both those two "homesocialtopcell" to appear 'pink' or whatever then yes you'd "sensibly" have to change the ID to Class (due to HTML rules on ID naming, i.e. no value duplication). The CSS will then apply the SAME style rules to ALL occurrences of the 'class', "homesocialtopcell" so theoretically every time you had that specific 'class' name match "homesocialtopcell" you'd get pink applied.
Brilliant thanks, so in the instances where I have multiple DIVS do I just change the # to a .
On both the HTML page and the CSS page or is their anything else I need to do?
Asking the difference between a div and a class is like asking the difference between a car and blue ... they aren't even the same type of thing. Pretty much every time you've asked about a div, what you should be asking about is an ID.
A
 is an HTML element, and is a generic container for text, images and other elements, used to group them together or as a hook for styles and scripts where there's nothing more specific that would be suitable (eg a paragraph or heading).
IDs and classes are used to apply styling or scripts to
s and other elements.
The following discussions and articles may be helpful...http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?867082-id-and-classhttp://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?843610-id-vs-class-in-a-div-taghttp://www.tizag.com/cssT/cssid.phphttp://css-tricks.com/the-difference-between-id-and-class/
...but in a nutshell, for styling purposes, IDs and classes are used in similar ways, but there are a few key differences.
An ID can only be used once on a page, a class can be used again and again. So if you want to apply the same styling to multiple items, you'll need to use a class.[*]An ID is more specific than a class, so if you have conflicting style rules (where two rules giving contradictory styles apply to the same element) then a rule that uses an ID will usually outrank a rule that just uses classes.
You can only apply one ID to an element, but you can apply multiple classes to an element (even if you've given it an ID as well), so you could have
, where 'article' and 'box' are separate classes.
You can use an ID for an internal link (eg  jumps to the item with id="section1".
If you're using it as a Javascript hook, getElementByID is better supported than getElementByClass, so you should use an ID.
So if you're not using the last couple of points there, then yes I would recommend changing homesocialtopcell to a class.

...but in a nutshell, for styling purposes, IDs and classes are used in similar ways, but there are a few key differences.

So if you're not using the last couple of points there, then yes I would recommend changing homesocialtopcell to a class.
The best way I found to get my head around classes and id is to think about objects.
For example, imagine a chair. When you think about chairs, there are many different types of chairs. There are swivel chairs, high chairs, reclining chairs, stools, sofas. Even though they're all different, you still classify them all as 'chairs'.
So in this case, 'chair' would be the class. It's common attribute would be the fact that it's something you use to sit in. It's unique attributes would be it's colour, shape, size etc. These would be in the 'id'.
With this in mind, only turn both 'homesocialtopcell' divs into classes if they share the same attributes (eg, height, width, color etc). If they don't, make them unique ids - 'homesocialtopcell1' & 'homesocialtopcell2'.
On the HTML page, you can have

repeated as many times as you like, but this

should only be used once. It doesn't affect your style sheet at all, because in there, you would just have styles set for
.something { ... }
You need to understand div. You can use as many divs in a single page as you want. but their are some rules to follow. Decompose the whole webpage in seperate sections e.g. header, footer, sidebar, navigation and footer.you should write some rules in css to make them unique on a page and apply id attribute on these elements. ID selectors should be unique and used on page only one time. For example to make the Header and Footer unique in one page, you should apply the id selector. I am sure are you not going to make a web page with 2 headers or 2 footers.........lolz.
so you can compose your page like this in css
and use in html like this:

for class selector, CSS classes are a block of CSS rules and you can apply them many time on a single page. For example you have 2 classes.
.smallText {...... }.bigText {..... }
now you can use them in html like this:

hope this will help you to understand the basics of html/css
