On WRITING/REVISING: I revised about fifty pages this week—still two parts that don't sit well with me that I'm currently (what I call) chunking (more on my whack revision process some day) and will, must, need to send off to CPs soon. If only Alison could stop TWEAKING.
Anyway, those fifty-ish pages did not take me through to my Black Moment, BUT I'm okay with that because just about every spare minute I had, I revised: early in the mornings, twenty minutes at lunch, sitting in my son's door way waiting for him to fall asleep. And…AND I WANTED to revise. I had no problem "springing" out of bed between four and four-thirty, powering up the laptop and getting to work. I actually got a little (a lot) miffed when I had to shut down and do something—ya know—responsible. That has not happened in a while.
So, I got a little "drunk on writing." Did YOU meet your writing goals for the week?
Also, I think I shall use this post to set a few goals for the next week and report back the following Friday on my progress. So, here goes: by next Friday, I DEFINITELY want to be through to the Black Moment; in fact, I want to be working on it (I read through it the other day—still makes my heart hurt).
How about YOU? What do you want to accomplish next week?
On READING: Since I've been REVISING just about every spare minute, I really haven't progressed as far as I like in the reading realm. While my revising experience has been rewarding in itself (and very enjoyable…LOVE revising), I did use reading as a reward for my revising efforts. After I edited a set number of pages or spent a certain amount of time revising, I rewarded myself with a few chapters. The problem: I'm currently reading this
Have you read it? Yeah. This is one I DON'T want to put down! Kristin Cashore is a writing GENIUS. I think I'll take a day this weekend and just READ.
What have YOU been reading?
On TRENDS: I'm blogging about my teens over at YA Confidential today. A few trends. Some new wordage. A little on what's hip. You can check it out here.
On FAMILY: A full week of school has left my family WIPED. Between soccer practices and tutoring and a fundraiser event mid-week, there were a few nights we could've all crashed around seven. I usually go to bed around eleven during the school week. I had trouble making it past nine.
BUT we have a three-day weekend. And it's supposed to be SUNNY. And the husband and I are having a date night to celebrate our birthdays (his was last week, mine is um…soon).
What are YOUR plans this weekend?
On OTHER STUFF: My Explorer is sick and in need of major car surgery. L We are a one-car family for the next week until I can get it repaired. Yes, it's inconvenient, but the SILVER LINING: No soccer games this weekend. Actually, nowhere I HAVE to be. I have awesome friends who can take me to and from work every day. Heck, the parents of one of the kids I tutor offered me a car to use for as long as I need it. I can walk most places I have to be. And I just got paid. Things could be a lot worse.
I'm counting my blessings. What are YOU thankful for?
Happy Friday! And have a WONDERFUL weekend!

February was a good month for almost all of the browsers out there except for Internet Explorer, according to Net Applications. From December 2006 to August 2007 Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser was able to maintain a substantial 79% marketshare. In the last 6 or 7 months, however, they've been dropping just under 1% each month. Yep, they've lost nearly 5% of their marketshare in the last half of a year.
Of course if IE is losing there has to be other browsers gaining, right? Firefox is the one swooping up most of IE's marketshare loss having increased over 3% in the last year. Last month it hit its all-time high at 17.27%, which is the same time IE hit its all-time low.
Safari took a small dip in February, but Opera has been steadily increasing rolling in a marketshare of 0.69% last month. Opera just announced that last year was a big year for them having increased their number of monthly users to 20 million, which is 55% more than the previous year.
Browser Marketshare for February 2008
And then there's the comparison of the operating systems. Naturally Microsoft is going to lead the way with their sheer market domination, but you might be surprised to hear that Windows usage has dropped about 4% in the last 2 years. Apple is the primary cause of the drop in marketshare having gained over 3% themselves in the last two years. And as you can see from this chart the iPhone is even on the board:
Operating System Marketshare for February 2008
In January 2007 the Linux marketshare sat at just 0.35%, and so there has been some significant growth there as well.
It's becoming apparent from both the browser and operating system stats that users don't mind turning to other alternatives to get the job done. The vast amounts of content available on the Internet definitely helps ease the transition for users from one browser to another, or from one operating system to another. Microsoft still controls a majority of the market, but given another several more years the tides could really start turning.

Rayman creator Michel Ancel has had nothing but praise for the Wii U. In an interview with GamesTM, Ancel continued to speak positively about the hardware.
Ancel told the magazine that the Wii U is powerful and his team hasn't encountered any limitations.
Having watched many vids and played the demo so many times, Rayman Legends is one of the most beautiful games in a long time. If the Wii U's first and third parties can make games that are more artistically brilliant than realistically, then I think the Wii U might be able to compete in that regard with whatever Sony or MS comes up with.
Sure, if you only make 2.5D side-scrolling games, the sky's the limit I suppose.
I believe Raymond Origins is 1080p/60fps.
Yep: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... (under development).
The Wii u is a more powerful than current gen but highly probably that it'll be weaker than ps4, 720.
End of discussion.
he's a developer and he knows what he is talking about and since the other two systems will not be all that much more powerful then wiiu....he is absolutely right...and he can focus on unique games with the gamepad

Anyone shopping for a dishwasher these days knows they typically don't come cheap. The 90 tested models in our Ratings sell at an average price of more than $950. True, some brands aim for value rather than dazzling performance, and a few such models might still perform decently. But pay too little, and you may be in for a big disappointment. That's the lesson of the Frigidaire FBD2400KS, at $310 almost the least expensive model we've tested.
One of three new models we've just added to our dishwasher Ratings, the FBD2400KS was exceptionally efficient in its energy and water use. Unless a dishwasher also washes well, though, that's hollow praise. Washing was only so-so; drying was worse. Even the least-expensive model we've tested, the $300 GE GLD2800V[WW], washed and dried better and offered more features, including a soil sensor.
Paying only $100 to $300 more for a Frigidaire gets you more machine, as we noted in our recent comparison of three mid-pack Frigidaires with different spray arms. Those models included some helpful features but, given the price, they didn't include a stainless tub, hidden controls, or flatware slots. Still, wash performance was impressive. The brand is no longer listed among the most repair-prone, according to new data from the Consumer Reports National Research Center's Annual Product Reliability Survey, but other brands such as Bosch, Miele, and Whirlpool have lower repair rates. On a tight budget? It's your call whether to play the odds.
The Kenmore 15693, the best of the newly tested models, cost $540 more than the Frigidaire FBD2400KS and narrowly missed making our list of picks; it includes a turbo cycle we found helpful. (The other model just tested is the $1,700 Dacor Renaissance RDW24S.) Before you shop, check out our buying guide, which includes a video on how we test.

Some video games require a committment of both time and effort if you want to beat them. Others provide a fast gaming fix and thats all there is to it. I am certain that it is difficult to make a game compelling for long periods of time and then on top of that support the story and gameplay with excellent graphics and wonderful sound. Yet Mass Effect has all these elements and more. I know I have written a lot about this game in past installments but I cannot help but be impressed by how polished the game is. Most importantly, the game has had a lasting effect on me... meaning that the game has made me want to play it when Im not playing it, which only a few other games have had on me. This is no small feat either, considering the high profile release of Wrath of the Lich King, I find myself many times perfering to play Mass Effect instead. I think I am close to the halfway point in the main storyline. The character I control (John Shepard) has taken his team to the planet Feros because the rogue Specter he is chasing was recently there. When he gets to Feros he finds the human colonists there acting very strangely and later it is discovered that they are all being controlled by a mind altering plant... and not just any plant... a huge 50,000 year old gross looking plant that you eventually have to kill. Once this is done, Shepard receives an update on the original vision he was given which shows the Protheans getting wiped out 50,000 years ago...which is the very act that must be prevented. After this, it was off to a planet called Noveria... another cold world which various corporations use to conduct experiments which would be considered illegal or too dangeous on other planets. The reason for going to Noveria is to confront Benezia, who is helping the main badguy Saren. Right now, I have progressed to the point where Shepard is in the lab that Benezia was working in and it is overrun by huge scary bug type creatures which Benezia was apparently making to use as a biological weapon. This game seems to up the intensity at every turn and the story is very fun to follow. It also is great to be able to give Shepard's responses as either nice or mean... if you dont like a certain NCP you can be very rude to them or on the other hand, you can respond with kindness and understanding which usually results in more information...very cool concept (though this is not the first game to use it of course) which makes the game more fun and interesting.
In other news, its nearly Christmas and you know what I have learned? Scotch tape is the only good tape. Why is it that knock off products cant get it right? I was trying to wrap some presents today using non-Scotch tape and I always had trouble getting the tape to tear off the roll... whats up with that? Anyways, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Student expelled for threat
An 8th-grade boy at Meyer Middle School was expelled through the next school year for allegedly writing a bomb threat last month.
The school board voted on the expulsion in a closed special meeting last week.
If the boy fulfills various unspecified conditions, he's eligible for an early return in September, according to Superintendent Boyd McLarty.
The bomb threat was written on a boys' bathroom wall at the middle school Monday afternoon, April 18. It said the school would be bombed Thursday of that week.
Police assisted school administrators with the investigation. The school was not evacuated because the threat was made for a later date.
With the help of the middle school's new security cameras, the student suspect was quickly identified.
The boy allegedly confessed to writing the bathroom message. He claimed he did so in frustration after finding out results from a school test.
This expulsion was the 11th of the school year. Last year there were nine student expulsions in River Falls.
Most of this year's expulsions have been drug related, but there have been two made because of bomb threats. McLarty said the other threat was at the high school.

NEW DELHI – Democracy is about real choices. But, throughout their country's crisis, the Greek people have been deprived of them. For this, the Europe Union and especially the International Monetary Fund bear considerable responsibility.
Greece was offered two stark choices: Leave the eurozone without financing, or remain and receive support at the price of further austerity. But Greece should have been offered a third option: Leave the euro, but with generous financing.
This option should have been put on the table, recognizing that Greece has broader political reasons for staying within the eurozone. Although exiting the monetary union would have yielded considerable benefits, "Grexit" would have entailed sizeable costs as well.
The benefits would have included a massive devaluation, which would have restored some dynamism to what was once a fast-growing economy. But the costs were terrifying. The government would have had to default, the banks would have been ruined, and both would have struggled for years to regain the trust of financial markets. As a result, interest rates would have remained high for a long time to come, impeding efforts to restore growth. Is it any wonder that the Greek government shrank from this horror and chose the "safe" option of austerity?

Yorkshire's Moin Ashraf is using Twitter to raise money for the children currently suffering in Gaza.
The fast bowler, 20, is auctioning off some cricket memorabilia during the next month, starting with Indian batsman Suresh Raina's Chennai Super Kings shirt, given to him at last month's Champions League t20.
Each item will be auctioned for five days on the website www.twitter.com/MoinA23, with the Raina shirt finishing at 6pm on Sunday.
"I've seen what's happened on the news in Gaza, and it's touched me," explained Ashraf, who returns to pre-season training with Yorkshire on Monday.
"I feel obliged to stand up for the less fortunate. I've got no direct personal connections with Gaza, but Gaza and Palestine is the holy land for Muslims. So religious beliefs are part of it as well.
"As well as the Raina shirt, I've got my signed Champions League t20 shirt, a Ryan Sidebottom one-day shirt and a County Championship shirt signed by the promotion squad who were at Essex when we went up. Those are only a few of the things I've got."
Meanwhile, the 2013 county cricket fixtures will be released at 2.30pm on Monday.

Flames recall goaltender Brent Krahn from Omahaby Staff Writer / Calgary Flames
The Calgary Flames have recalled goaltender Brent Krahn from the Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights, the club's top affiliate in the American Hockey League.
Krahn will join the Flames in time for game six of their playoff series with the Detroit Red Wings tonight at 8:00 p.m. CT.

Krahn appeared in 28 games for the Knights this season, posting a record of 14-12-0 with a 2.42 goals-against average, a .905 save percentage and two shutouts. In 141 career AHL appearances, the native of Winnipeg, Manitoba has posted a record of 65-53-12, a 2.57 goals-against average and eleven shutouts.
Irving joins the Knights following the conclusion of his junior season with the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League. He appeared in 48 games during the regular season, posting a record of 34-9-1-2, a 1.86 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage.

Virgil goes DropWizard... who needs war files?
For years now I've been saying that J2EE may be dead (or dying). Wherever possible, people are trying to cut down on code and configuration. The lighter the better. These days, even Tomcat seems heavy for the light-weight services we want to deploy. Enter DropWizard.
Thanks goes to Coda Hale for putting together DropWizard, a rock-solid lightweight REST stack. Its got everything you could want: configuration, metrics, parsing, health checks, etc. It can even serve up static content.
With all those features, who needs war files?
Recently we contributed to DropWizard, adding the ability to serve up static content from the root url, which allowed us to port Virgil over. Since Virgil has an entirely ExtJS based UI, static content is all we needed for the UI.
We just released a new version Virgil with DropWizard under the covers.
Using DropWizard, Virgil now provides an Admin UI. Additionally, there are additional configuration parameters for logging and the http server.
If you get a chance, take a look at DropWizard. It might just have you replacing your old servlet container.

Do you find that a move away from .war files leaves gaps in terms of deployment and application lifecycle management? Tools like Maven and Jenkins have plenty of plugins for deploying .war files to Servlet containers; less so for individual Java services/applications that require a lot of command-line bootstrapping to run. AWS' Elastic Beanstalk makes deployment of .wars so easy, I'm tempted to use it for Java applications that aren't even web applications!

Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. – Ray Floyd is sitting in the grillroom at the Old Palm Golf Club when Jack Nicklaus's son Jackie walks in. He speaks with Floyd for a moment about the four-time major champion's imminent appearance in the feature pro-am group during the Honda Classic. Floyd, who designed Old Palm and who lives in a cottage home on the property, tells Nicklaus's son that he is looking forward to participating.
That's the sort of golf Floyd, 70, plays these days–all casual, with friends, and to support charitable efforts. The World Golf Hall of Fame member won the 1976 Masters, the 1986 U.S. Open, and the 1969 and 1982 PGA Championship. He lost a playoff to Nick Faldo at the 1990 Masters when he hit his approach to the 11th green into the pond left of the green. Had Floyd won that Masters, he would have become the only golfer to win a major in four different decades.
But that's okay. Floyd had a wonderful career and he knew when to retire from competition. He didn't make a big deal of retiring from the game he had played so well for so many years, and at the highest levels. He knew it was time. He'd shot 78 the last time he played the Augusta National Golf Club during the Masters, and now, chatting at lunch in the comfortable grillroom full of golf books, with a tournament on Golf Channel in the background, he says, "I played as well as I could that round. I told Maria I'm done. I didn't want to be embarrassed. I just didn't show up [for the 2010 Masters]."
Maria, Floyd's wife, died last September from a rare form of bladder cancer. Her death has been hard on Floyd. He sold their home in Palm Beach and moved into the cottage at Old Palm, where he takes his meals mostly at the club and where he says he has everything he needs: a splendid course that he enjoys when he tees it up, a state of the art gym, trainers, friends. Yes, he has everything, except, of course, Maria, to whom he was married for nearly 40 years. He smiles when he remembers what she said about his retiring from competition, when he simply didn't show up at the Masters.
"She said I didn't even know how to be a celebrity," Floyd recalled. "I'd say that I didn't want to go to this or that dinner, and that's what she'd say."
Floyd lived an active life as a bachelor, and he might have squandered his immense talent for the game had he not met Maria and had she not awakened him to his gifts and pushed him to work harder. I'm in San Francisco as I write, and Thursday night I had dinner at the California Golf Club with some friends who are members. One of them remembered Floyd in San Francisco many years ago, pre-Maria, and the times he enjoyed then.
"I had a before and an after career, before I met Maria and after," Floyd says. "I look at our life together as I was blessed to have 40 years with her. That's how I'm dealing with losing her."
Floyd eventually took his profession seriously, all aspects of it. I remember setting up an interview with him on Hilton Head Island, S.C. years ago. We were to meet in a hotel at breakfast. Somehow the arrangements got mixed up, and we didn't connect when I thought we were supposed to. I learned later that Floyd was calling all over the place trying to find me. We reached one another and then we met.
Floyd told me he had allotted 45 minutes for the interview. He said that's the amount of time he prefers to offer during such a one on one session. That was fine, of course. He wasn't wearing a watch. At one point he said, "Okay, there's time for one more question." I looked at my watch. We were coming up to 45 minutes. He knew.
In 1981, Floyd won the Canadian PGA Championship at the Westmount Golf and Country Club in Kitchener, Ont., a course I would love to see host the RBC Canadian Open. "That was a nice golf course," he says.
Anybody who watched Floyd was aware of his distinctive swing. His right elbow flew off the side of his body, but that didn't always happen. I asked him about the move.
"I did that because of injuries," he tells me. "I had a classic golf swing when I won the 1969 PGA. Then as I started getting hurt I was athletic enough to get around the pain and be successful. But I got so flat and laid off and by the end of 1973 and into 1974 I was really struggling. I couldn't get turned back enough to get my swing up where I had any power."
Floyd consulted Jack Grout, Nicklaus's long-time teacher (the new biography, Jack Grout: A Legacy in Golf, has recently been published, by the way; I'll review it soon; Nicklaus contributes a foreword).
"Why don't you get that elbow away from you?" Grout suggested. Floyd recovered the leverage in his swing, and his length returned.
That was years ago now, during an era when players hit practice balls to their caddies, who were retrieving the balls on the range. Players carried their practice balls in shag bags. Floyd remembered that one caddie was hit on the head at the Los Angeles Open, and was never the same. The range could be a dangerous place.
I could have talked golf with Floyd all afternoon. We chatted for at least an hour–no more 45-minute limit, and then we went our separate ways. I look forward to another meeting with him. He accomplished a lot in the game, and he has a lot to say.

Larry Young Biography
7 October 1940, Newark, New Jersey, USA, d. 30 March 1978, New York City, New York, USA. His father was an organ player but at first Young played piano instead. In 1957 he joined an R&B group in Elizabeth, New Jersey and, switching to Hammond organ, recorded with tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest in 1961. The previous year he had made his record debut as leader with Testifying. He procured the services of top guitarist Grant Green and, signed to Blue Note Records, made classic records with artists such as Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, Donald Byrd and Lee Morgan. In 1964 he visited Europe, playing piano on Nathan Davis Happy Girl. Affected by John Coltranes expansion of hard bop, he recorded with Coltrane and inducted drummer Elvin Jones into his band, recording Unity with him in 1965. Young played electric piano on Miles Davis Bitches Brew in 1970, the album which launched the jazz rock genre, worked briefly with John McLaughlin in 1970 and then played in the excellent Lifetime, the band formed by Davis ex-drummer Tony Williams. He also collaborated with guitarist Nicholas and drummer Joe Gallivan in Love Cry Want. His own Lawrence Of Newark featured James Blood Ulmer, making one of his earlier appearances on record. In 1977 Young co-led a group with drummer Joe Chambers, recording Double Exposure. Young also worked under his Islamic name of Khalid Yasin Abdul Aziz. His death at the age of 37 deprived the world of an innovative and passionate player.

Chris Colfer sacked, now Lea Michele pregnant? What has the Twitterverse got against Glee?
Michele, who plays Rachel Berry in the US musical drama series, had her Twitter account hacked on the weekend.
"Before this gets out to the media, I would like to announce to my fans that I am pregnant #BabyBoy," a tweet published by her account said.
But the actress has confirmed the tweet was false - she is not pregnant. "I was hacked!" she later tweeted.
The hacking of Michele's account follows the hacking of her co-star Chris Colfer's Twitter account last week.
"Due to personal issues, I have been let go from the cast of Glee," a tweet published on Colfer's account said. "Explanations will come shortly."
But Colfer's Twitter account was also hacked and 20th Century Fox confirmed he is still employed.
"We've been alerted that Chris Colfer's twitter account has been hacked," 20th Century Fox said in a statement.
"Rumors of his dismissal from Glee could not be further from the truth. We love Chris and look forward to working with him again this season."
The hacking of two Glee cast-member's Twitter accounts in quick succession suggests they may have been hacked by the same person.
Both accounts were verified, which means Twitter acknowledges their authenticity with a "blue tick".
No other Glee cast-members have been affected.
Glee will return to the US schedule in the "mid-season" - around January, 2015 - for its final season.

I think the SatNav will say 'Vous etes perdu, utilisez une carte.'
Geoff, what do you mean, the blue link part? I hope there isn't half a class lost in the interweb because I failed to expalin something!
Kate, they look like this. Plenty of instructions on the net. My sister and I made them to amuse our small niece and nephew during a particularly long and arduous church service.
You don't need a SatNav to find your way round the house - durr - of course you have to use it outside :- D
Becks, teaching old dogs new tricks springs to mind. Well done!!!
Kate, I've always really liked origami but haven't done any for ages. Though I do make little snapdragons to entertain small people and little boxes to put small pressies and stuff in. (When I'm not busy posting links, that is :- D )
Fab origami, Kate, GCSE A grade, I do believe.
Geoff, I see you are displaying 'advanced linking skills' with your YouTube. clip. Have an A* for your GCSE ;- )
To paste a link to a website, I find it in the search engine and, after checking it's what I want, I go back to the search engine page, right click on the hyperlink (underlined) that I used, choose 'Copy shortcut' and proceed as before. I expect there are at least three other ways to do all of this, some may be easier!!! The link below is coming out as a very long thing, unlike what I copied, but it should work.
Linking to a forum thread, I go and find it but don't open it to read the posts. I right-click on the thread title and, in the menu that opens, left click 'Copy shortcut' . Then when I type my post I paste the link into the box.
I'm using Internet Explorer but it must be similar in other browsers.
See how you go with that, gardenfantic.
Kate, I'm around to keep you company though have all day events to help at on both Sunday and Monday. I'm expecting to need a brolly handy :- (
The autumnal chill had passed by the time I got up - either that or sunny East Dorset has a summery micro-climate. The start of autumn has its own smell in the air - normally I don't detect it until September but who knows!
Heard this morning that beekeepers are depressed at the very poor honey yields. My sister-in-Wales has a bumper crop, four times more than she extracted last year, so something turned out right. I have one red tomato and a few green ones.
I hope it's a Custarde doughnut - my namesake after all. I had a gaga moment earlier when I said my favourite was Apple.
A link? I do believe I can ;- )
oooh, looks a bit long. Hope it works. Also wiki, beeb & several other places explain about the origin of the hoax.

Anne Burrell Outed
Published: June 1, 2012
Anne Burrell Outed, Did Ted Allen just out his fellow Food Network star Anne Burrell?
Preliminary reports say the "Chopped" host disclosed Burrell's sexuality in an interview with SiriusXM host Romaine Patterson, set to air on Monday, May 21 on Sirius OutQ 108.
After Patterson noted that she "love[d] it when Anne Burrell is on the show primarily because I have the biggest crush on her…whether or not she's a lesbian, I don't care," Allen said that he'd recently met Burrell's girlfriend.
"I'm not going to put a label on Anne, but she is dating a woman right now," Allen, who reportedly went on to explain that the woman in question works at Chicago eatery Avec, is quoted as saying. "She was really cool. You've got some competition."
Burrell is beloved by foodie audiences as the host of the Food Network series "Secrets of a Restaurant Chef." Her sexuality has been the subject of ample speculation in recent years, though she has remained mum about her personal life.
Though the Food Network courts a sizable lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) audience, none of its major star chefs have publicly come out — a fact which has apparently not gone unnoticed by its creators. Featured "Iron Chef" star Cat Cora, who also serves as host of "Around The World In 80 Plates" on Bravo, is openly gay — but does not have cooking show of her own on the Food Network.

A SECTION of the A13 in Hadleigh could be renamed to revive the town's historical roots.
Plans are in the pipeline to rename London Road, between the Hadleigh Old Fire Station and Rectory Road, the Kingsway should the £60million masterplan get the go ahead.
The name originates from the Kingsway shopping parade which was constructed when London Road was first built in 1924 as a bypass to the High Street.
David Hurrell, of Willow Walk, Hadleigh, said: "I think it is a wonderful idea. A lot of people in the area still call it the Kingsway remembering when the shops were first built all those years ago so it would be a nice reference to the history of the town."
Restricting traffic along that section of London Road, and introducing two-way traffic along High Street is at the heart of the multi-million-pound revamp.
The final road layout will be decided when the results of a traffic survey carried out by Essex County Council are released next month.
The masterplan also envisages creating a new town square, improving shop fronts and creating better links between London Road and High Street.
Pam Challis, leader of the council and who sits on the Castle Point Regeneration Partnership, said she hopes changing the name will revive fond memories for the borough's older generations who knew the road by the name years ago.
Mrs Challis said: "I think a lot of our older residents will be thrilled with this news and I would be pleased to make it happen for them.
"I really hope the results from the traffic survey support our plans so that we can give residents a lovely new town square and provide something for future generations as well.
"The fact that we hosted the Olympic Mountain Biking event so well showed how Castle Point is an up and coming area, and I really feel we will be able to attract developers because of it."
The council hopes to formally adopt the masterplan by March 2014.

Trust and Reciprocity in the Investment Game with Indirect Reward
Experimental studies have shown that trust and reciprocity are effective in increasing efficiency when complete contracting is infeasible. One example is the study by Berg et al. (1995) of the investment game. In this game the person who receives the investment is the one who may reward the investor. This is a direct reward game. Similar to Dufwenberg et al. (2001) we investigate to what extent trust and reward are still observable when reward is indirect; i.e., when the investor may only be rewarded by a third person who did receive his investment. Furthermore, we investigate the influence of social comparison (information about other players' investments) Our main finding is that indirect reward significantly reduces mutual cooperation.

In my free time I enjoy riding my bike around the metroparks, hiking, fishing, bonfires, and pretty much anything else outdoors.
I can also be found geeking out about some new topic or gadget that interests me.
I often feel like an outcast in this increasingly impersonal society. I'm all about person to person interaction and believe in "old school" values such as honesty, and open communication.
Very much so 420 friendly.
Working on getting back in shape so I can be all buff and sexy and shit...

Your Weekender Recipe: Damaris' Fried Chicken Salad Sandwichesby Marisa McClellan in Recipes, February 20th, 2015
Most of the time, I cook simply out of basic necessity. I spend a goodly amount of time thinking about food because (like all people) my husband and I need to eat and I prefer that we eat things that are budget-friendly and relatively healthful.
However, sometimes I choose to cook because I'm looking to experience new flavors or I want to recall an experience I had sometime in the past. Food is a far more affordable way to "revisit" a familiar town or region than buying a plane ticket and is decidedly more instantaneous to boot.

Our Tax Cut Chart
Feb. 13, 10:55p.m.: This post was updated to reflect that the Senate voted for the stimulus package.
The House approved the economic stimulus plan Friday afternoon with a vote of 246 to 183, followed by the Senate with a vote of 60 to 38. Want to know what's in it? You could read the 1,071-page gorilla that passed today. Or you could let us do the work for you. We've dissected the beast in two charts – one for spending, and one for taxes.
See the spending provisions here.

Very nice to have this information in such a readily accessible form. Curious to know how the investments and tax cuts are distributed across infra, education, business, etc. I dumped the numbers you provide in a spreadsheet and came up with the following. The total comes to $799 B rather than the $787B we've been hearing from other sources. Is this a difference between house, senate and conference versions?
Categories of Investment Amount
Transportation and Infrastructure $98,325,000,000
Aid to State and Local Governments $58,355,000,000
Education $48,420,000,000
Energy $41,400,000,000
Aid to People Affected by Economic
Downturn $36,910,807,000
Health Care $18,830,000,000
Science and Technology $13,142,000,000

Potential Round of 16 Venue for U.S.
Should the U.S. advance to the Round of 16 at the 2002 World Cup in Korea, the team will play in one of two venues. As the first place finisher, the U.S. would remain in Daejeon, the sight of the team's final Group D match against Poland on June 14. As the second place finisher, the U.S. would travel to Jeonju for a June 17 clash with the winner of Group G.
Location: 148 miles south of Seoul
Population: 600,000
Stadium: Jeonju World Cup Stadium (42,477 capacity); construction completed Nov. 2001
Overview: Located in the south-western part of Korea, Jeonju is the capital of the Jeollabuk-do province. The ancient city dates back to 757 A.D. and is widely regarded as the Gourment Capital of Korea. Jeonju has long been known as a center of culture and carries on many cultural traditions including the Jeonju Daesasubnori – a traditional music festival – and the special exhibitions and games held on Dano, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Also in Jeonju is the Gangnam Calligraphic Art Gallery, which houses some 1,600 works by many of Korea's masters of calligraphy, both past and present. The area, though, is best known for its food, and, in particular, for bibimbap. Bibimbap is a traditional Korean dish made of boiled rice mixed with meat, seasonal vegetables and the ubiquitous chili sauce. Traditional Jeonju bibimbap is served with as many as 30 different ingredients and side dishes. Another local favorite is gongnamul gukbap, a dish made with rice and bean-sprouts and seasoned with dark soy paste, leeks and kimchi.

Using imagery from the Acts of the Apostles and a story of Lydia, a women who broke boundaries after she became a follower of Jesus, Religious Sister of the Cenacle Judette Gallares today called upon the women to open up their hearts to conversion.
She laid out the steps of conversion, a movement, she said, that takes one through confusion and darkness into quiet contemplation, to awakening and finally to prophetic action.
Gallares listed the movements and phases of ongoing conversion as a guide to help the 800 women gathered at the plenary assembly of International Union of Superiors General. The topic of this year's gathering is mysticism and prophecy.
The following is a brief synopsis of Gallares remarks on the phases of conversion:
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.
The first phase of conversion is an experience of darkness or confusion, an awareness of emptiness that needs to be filled, of thirst that needs to be quenched, of questions that beg for answers; yet there does not seem to be anything or anyone who could satisfy these needs. For some, this phase manifests itself in an experience of incongruities — in oneself or in life itself. In other words, deep and authentic conversion experiences do not just come about as experts in this field tell us.
The second phase is the phase of awakening. This is when one's spirit is awakened by the touch of God, priming it to listen intently to the Word of life.
What follows after the awakening is the phase of prophetic action, an experience of an initial impetus of faith, a sudden surge of inspiration which brings about enthusiasm and desire to put one's new-found conviction or belief into action. This frequently effusive change in one's attitude and values is what we commonly call a conversion or a transformation. We usually have this phenomenon in mind when we think of conversions.
What follows then is a phase of silence. This is called the quiet phase where time is needed for contemplation. A frequent and faithful entering into the heart to listen and discern God's word in the world is necessary for prophetic action. For change brought about by conversion to have its deep and lasting effect on the person, a quiet phase is necessary after the ebullient stage. This is a time of reflection, of withdrawal and moments of aloneness, a time for making sense of what has happened, a time of testing the authenticity of one's mystical experience and the depth of one's conviction to engage in prophetic action. This is the time of internalizing the values put forth by the newly accepted and deepening faith.
The quiet phase eventually leads to the fifth and final phase, or movement, which is the integration phase. Here, the person makes the substance of the conversion an integral part of one's being. The period of silence and withdrawal has provided the time to make sense of what has happened, to integrate the change of attitude, perspective and belief into one's history and life, and to form a synthesis of all the parts of the mystical and prophetic experience of conversion.
Contemplation and mysticism require a growth in one's capacity for discernment and critical thinking in the quest for the authentic self. An ongoing life of prayer is important in this stage, to discern continually the action of the Spirit in one's life. Prophetic speaking and acting do not have the advantage of hindsight precisely because it is addressed to "what is happening" right now.
Thus the more contemplative the person is, the more one can make appropriate prophetic action even without the privilege of long periods of prayer. This phase will enable the person to enter again into the community of faith and to put that faith into action based on one's conviction. The prophetic task is to focus the Word, the proclamation of the Reign of God, directly on and in a particular situation.
Gallares concluded her talk, saying that religious women are being called to be more attentive to the presence of the sacred in their inner journeys, in the lives of others, and throughout the whole of creation.
"Recognising contemplation as a way of life for the whole church, we religious will see our communities and ourselves as centers of spirituality and the experiences of God. Just as the first Christian community in Acts — who gathered together in deep prayer as they awaited the birth of a new beginning — experienced an impelling force of the mighty wind that emboldened them to engage in prophetic action of proclaiming and witnessing to the Word to the ends of the earth, we too are called to live our religious commitment in the same pattern as we continue Christ's mission in our world today."

Broussard will drop some of its legal challenges of Lafayette's annexations along Ambassador Caffery Parkway South, Broussard Mayor Charles Langlinais announced Thursday in what he said was a "good faith" effort to resolve ongoing disputes between the two cities.
Leaders in Lafayette and Broussard have been publicly feuding since 2010, when Lafayette annexed unincorporated areas along the new stretch of Ambassador Caffery between Lafayette and Broussard.
The dispute escalated with a disagreement over Broussard's contract to buy wholesale water from Lafayette.
The larger city has since ended animal control services in Broussard and has announced plans to end fire dispatch services for Broussard next month.
Lafayette City-Parish President Joey Durel has said he would reconsider offering those services if Broussard dropped its annexation lawsuit against Lafayette.
Langlinais said in a statement Thursday that he hoped Broussard's decision to pull back its lawsuit against Lafayette would prompt "Durel to make a similar showing of good faith" and meet with "a neutral mediator to resolve the remaining annexation dispute, the water issues, and all other remaining disputes."
Durel on Thursday declined to discuss his next steps until after Broussard formally dismisses the legal claims.
Even if Broussard dismisses the annexation challenges referenced in Langlinais' announcement, the smaller city would still have pending litigation over some 200 acres of Lafayette's annexations along Ambassador Caffery.
That area includes land owned by people who had originally petitioned to join Broussard.
Broussard officials have characterized Lafayette's annexations along the four-lane stretch of Ambassador Caffery South as a land grab for frontage along a busy corridor that could be a lucrative source of tax revenue in the future.
Lafayette has countered that about half of the new six-mile section of Ambassador Caffery already runs through Broussard.
Langlinais said Broussard plans to alter the pending annexation lawsuit against Lafayette to drop objections to the larger city's annexation of 2½ miles of the Ambassador Caffery roadbed and the Vieux Chenes Golf Course.
Vieux Chenes is owned by Lafayette but had been in an unincorporated area of the parish before the annexation.
Broussard has argued that the issue was not the annexation of the golf course itself but rather the annexation of the long stretch of Ambassador Caffery leading to the golf course.
Lafayette's annexation of the road makes it more difficult for Broussard to push farther north along Ambassador Caffery.
Durel cited the annexation lawsuit last year when he declined to renew a contract under which Broussard had been paying Lafayette for animal control services.
Durel has also said the Lafayette Fire Department next month will stop providing dispatch services for the Broussard Fire Department, forcing the smaller city to either launch a dispatch service or contract with another agency.

DREAMer Ivan Satizabal will be killed if deported to Honduras!
URGENT: Ivan Satizabal (A# 098-98-9634)
, who has lived in the U.S. since he was 15 years old, could be deported to a country where he has no family & life will be in serious jeopardy.
Ivan was brought to the U.S. from Honduras, in 2005, after gangs wanted to forcefully recruit him. ICE gave him a temporary protection and now wants to deport him to a country where he has no family and will most likely be killed. Deporting Ivan to Honduras is equivalent to a death sentence!Make a call to ICE: 202.732.3000 or 202-732-3100
Sample Script: "Hi, I am calling to ask that the deportation of DREAMer Ivan Satizabal (A# 098-98-9634) be stopped. Ivan has been living in the U.S. since he was 15 years old. He has no family in Honduras and is scared he will get killed by the gangs. if deported his life would be in danger!"

I am writing to request that you grant deferred action and stop the deportation of DREAMer Ivan Satizabal (A#098-989-634).
Ivan was brought to the United States when he was only 15 years old. He fled from Honduras because his life was in danger. The gangs were forcing Ivan to join.
Ivan went to Harrisonburg High School in VA and joined the soccer team, Spanish Club and Men of Character. He only completed the 11th grade because he turned 18 and was forced to work towards a GED instead. He was working towards getting his GED and hoped of having a better future. Now 22 years old, Ivan knows no one in Honduras and he is scared he will get killed by the "maras". He has three US Citizen siblings who depend on him as a father figure.
I urge you to stop the deportation of Ivan Satizabal (A# 098-98-9634).

El Al Gets Approval for Eilat Flights
El Al received final approval yesterday for regularly scheduled flights from Ben-Gurion International Airport to Eilat for the first time, in competition with Arkia and Israir.
Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz yesterday decided to accept the recommendations of the Israel Civil Aviation Authority and allow the flights.
Katz gave approval for six months of flights, starting from the day the airline inaugurates the route. Katz has been considering the issue since late last year, and Israir and Arkia petitioned the High Court of Justice for a temporary order to prevent Katz from approving the flights, but the justices denied the request in early January. The High Court said Katz had yet to decide, but also said that once the minister reaches a decision, El Al would have to wait at least 30 days to begin flights to allow Arkia and Israir to once again petition the court for a restraining order.
Katz's decision allows El Al one to three flights a day in each direction between Ben-Gurion and Eilat, five days a week. Each flight must offer a minimum of 100 seats, but no more than 430 passengers. In addition, El Al must separate its frequent international flyer program from its internal Israeli flights.
Israir also got a break from Katz. The airline will now be allowed to set its own schedules to Eilat instead of the previous ministry-dictated ones.
Katz said his decision could lower air fares to Eilat and meet the potential demand on the route. It could also increase Eilat's exposure as a tourist destination, he said.
There are now 20 daily flights to Eilat, which carry about 1 million passengers per year.
El Al said it is planning to start flights in the spring.
Arkia's lawyer, Neri Yarkoni, said Katz made the decision six months ago, and its publication now was "part of his behavior that raises many questions." He said he "would not be surprised if the High Court is called on to discuss the issue in depth."

Wheeee! Christina Milian was spotted giving daughter Violet, 7 months, a playful push on a swing in a park in Los Angeles, Calif. The mother-daughter duo looked like they were enjoying the milder weather this weekend – temps in L.A. last week reached 113°!
Christina had taken Violet to the park on Sunday (October 3) for a party to celebrate the first birthday of a friend's daughter.
The R&B singer, who recently celebrated her 29th birthday, seems to be the doting mom on her frequent outings with her daughter. Nice to see her recovering from her split with estranged husband The Dream, who filed for divorce nine days before Christina gave birth to baby Violet.

Epson MegaPlex MG-50 LCD Home Entertainment Projector Review
A summary of the Epson MegaPlex MG-50 and a list of this Epson projector's pros and cons.
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: Epson MegaPlex MG-50 "Projector Reviews TV" Video Summary
Epson MG-50 Projector: Bottom Line
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: Epson MegaPlex MG-50 "Projector Reviews TV" Video Summary
Epson has produced a very nice multi functional projector with its MegaPlex MG-50. At 2000 lumens of brightness and a contrast ratio of 5000:1 the Epson MG-50 is a good bargain with a MSRP of $699. The projectors ability to project from multiple sources like an IPad, IPod, IPhone and other sources like component video have set the projector apart from other similar projectors. Not to mention that it has a bit higher resolution and performance features than others in its class. In terms of a home theater; the Epson MegaPlex MG-50 may not spec wise be considered a top of the line choice, but for its price it produces an excellent image.
Browser image from the Epson MegaPlex MG-50 projector.
It turns out that during the 2012 Superbowl I needed a projector in a pinch. I decided to use the MegaPlex MG-50 as a replacement since I was evaluating it for this review. Running a 1080p signal from the broadcast produced a very bright, sharp image and was thoroughly impressed that a projector that is under $700 dollars could have such wow factor.
Portrait image from the Epson MegaPlex MG-50 projector.
The image quality in terms of doing presentations via PowerPoint and using the projectors ability to project content from a IPhone, IPad and IPod was not as outstanding at its ability to handle 1080p from the football broadcast, but that is to be expected. It still produced a nice image and would be totally acceptable given the lower resolution content that is geared toward mobile devices.
Sound quality is what you might expect from two 10 watt speakers. The system lacks bass but thumping base in the projector itself would ultimately cause your image to be distorted as the base creates vibration. You can however run sound out of the projector to a receiver so this really isn't such a deal breaker.
The menu and interface for navigating your portable device proved to be very intuitive and also helpful since it sensed what you were trying to do and provided some on-screen tips.
Overall I would say the Epson MegaPlex MG-50 is a good choice for those who want a way to project all kinds of content from their Mac portable device or from a High Definition source. Its size and portability mean you can easily put it away when you don't need it, or just leave it on the coffee table for convenience.
Epson MG-50 Projector: Pros, Cons
Epson MG-50 Projector: Pros
- Can be used with Mac portable devices like the IPad, IPod and IPhone
- 2200 lumens of brightness
- 5000:1 contrast ratio for blacker blacks than most projectors in it class
- Easy to navigate menu system when selecting songs and movies from your Mac portable device
- Able to accept high definition 1080p component video from your cable or satellite system and produces a great image
- Has the same Epson Road Service program that you would expect from Epson business projectors
- Has a microphone jack so you can use the projectors speakers as your PA system
- Estimated lamp life of 5000 hours
Epson MG-50 Projector: Cons
- Lower resolution at 540p (960×540)
- No lens shift for easy setup
- No optical zoom so you must move projector to get desired image size

Claptrap Rescue: Lockdown Palace continues the line of Claptrap Rescue Missions.
Find the Repair Kit and release this Claptrap.
- Repair Kit found: 0/1
- "You've discovered a Claptrap robot that has been immobilized. Find a Claptrap Repair Kit to release him."
The player will probably pass right by this Claptrap during the mission Prison Break: Try Not to Get Shanked. The Repair Kit is located much later in the area, by a vending machine in the large room where you are sent to find Athena. It isn't hidden at all, it's just sitting on a shelf.
- "Thank you, stranger! Take this! I think you'll like it! Oh, I've got something else for you. Follow me!"
Additional Information
- The item card reads: Contains everything you need to release an immobilized Claptrap robot.
- After being repaired, the Claptrap will unlock a door for the player leading to a red chest. Then, a few seconds later, the Claptrap will get stuck to a giant magnet, declaring: "Dammit, just kill me!" It is not possible to rescue him from this second situation, however.
- Much like the SDU's from the 2nd playthrough of the main campaign, it is not guaranteed to get the Backpack SDU. This is true regardless of which playthrough you complete the mission on.
- This Claptrap, much like the one at The Lumber Yard has some new quotes.
- "I'm not subject to your laws! I didn't program me to do these things!"
- "Anyone wanna play some bridge? I got a deck of cards in here. I'll even tell you what I have. I'm bidding three nil, but you should probably bid 4 spades...Ah, come on, play with me!"
- "Swing looooooow, sweet chariiooooooot. Coming for to carry me hoooooooome." (repeats)
- "I will do whatever you want just to get me out of here. Seriously, I mean it. Anything you want. Anything. Think about it."
- "Hey, look. I'll do whatever you want just to get out of here. Think about it. Nothing's too big, nothing's too small, if you know what I'm saying."
- "Let me out! She didn't tell me her age! Girls of all ages like candy!"
- "Mr. Shank? The check's in the mail, I swear! C'mon, man, you gotta believe me!"
- "Oh, I'm having a heart attack. Ohhh, this is the big one! I need a medic and a ride to Dr. Zed. It's...it's growing dim..."
- "When I get out of here, some of you bitches are getting stabbed. Matter of fact, I'm going to set the stabbing record on this planet."
- "I will literally kill the person of your choice, just get me out of here."
Nearby Missions
- This mission can be easily completed whilst pursuing Prison Break: Try Not to Get Shanked.Claptrap Rescue missions
