Why are we waiting?
Independents baiting
Parties remonstrating
Why are we waiting
so bloody long . . .
Why are we waiting
Greens celebrating
Coalition agitating
Democracy re-arranging
Why are we waiting?
So bloody long . . .
The media, politicians and the public, we've all had nearly two weeks of what in layman's terms might be called hanging out". Itching for some kind of decision to be made, scratching to see what a future parliament or government might look like. But before you throw your hands in the air, collapse and expel some words in the "I'm really over it" category. Let's do something to pass the time, let's play the "what if?" game. What alternate histories would there be? What parallel universes? Let's get sci-fi to meet politics.
In the end we're always accounting for every political eventuality. Journalists will write different versions of the same story, speech writers write alternate versions of the same speech. One famous example, leaked many years after the fact, was an alternate speech that conservative speech writer Bill Safire wrote for Nixon had the Apollo 11 mission gone terribly wrong with astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong stranded on the lunar surface.
In an amazing, moving speech, Safire wrote: "In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man." He finishes with a golden line, which fortunately for Aldrin and Armstrong never saw the light of day: "For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind."
In Australia, our situation may not be so inspiring or life threatening but there are some obvious hypotheticals. The most obvious being, given our hung parliament, what if Tony Abbott had not won by one single, solitary vote in December last year? Turnbull would have been leader, an ETS legislated and the election may very well have gone (had Julia still usurped Kevin) the Coalition's way. We would not all now be dragging our democratic feet, no hung parliament, no pesky independents and many other consequences unknown.
The most recent hung parliament, 70 years ago, represented just as much a historical fork in the road as our present situation — a place where alternate political universes abound. In 1940 PM Robert Menzies was on the brink of an election during war time, he had an unstable government made up of a fragile coalition of the United Australia Party and the country party.
Just a month before this important election, Menzies was travelling back and forth across the country. He was scheduled to head back to Canberra on the Sunday via train. There was another less tiring, less lengthy option of using an RAAF plane back to Canberra on the Tuesday with three of his ministers, but Menzies, keen to get back to Canberra earlier, chose the train.
"So what?" you say, "the PM caught a train in 1940 instead of a plane . . . great." But just as with one little vote between Abbott and Turnbull, this small difference changed the course of political history and indeed saved Menzies' life. The plane crashed and there were no survivors.
Devastated, Menzies faced not only the loss of his friends but also allies in his government. The three seats were now vacant at the next general election and crucially one was filled by a Arthur Coles, (yes, as in the supermarket), running on an independent ticket. The result of the election was a hung parliament, and then as is the case now, the independents (Coles and another incumbent) were some powerful guys. Indeed, they brought the whole Jenga set crashing down by dumping Menzies and backing a Labor Curtin government.
What if that plane had not crashed? What if Menzies had got on that plane? What would have been the consequences for that election? Hung parliament? Powerful independents? Politics is always going to create more questions than answers, serious frustration and sometimes boredom.
But this is not a boring time. As we wait for a decision to be made, it might be worth remembering what Menzies wrote, as he headed off to England to be nearer the war-time imperial decision making: "Why do we regard history as of the past and forget that we are making it?"
Exciting times people.

Preparations are under way for Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and South Korean President Lee Myung Bak to hold a formal summit later this month, their first such meeting since a rekindled territorial clash soured bilateral ties in August, government sources said Saturday.
Tokyo and Seoul are arranging a one-on-one meeting between Noda and Lee on the sidelines of a series of meetings related to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Phnom Penh from Nov. 18 to 20, the sources said.
Both governments are working to realize the summit in a bid to improve relations that were rocked by Lee's Aug. 10 trip the South Korea-controlled — and Japan-claimed — Takeshima islets, the first trip to the rocky outcroppings by a South Korean president, according to the sources.
The envisioned encounter between the two leaders will be more substantive than a brief informal meeting and will allow them to hold their first in-depth talks since a meeting in May in Beijing, they added.
According to one of the sources, Seoul is apparently hoping that staging talks between Noda and Lee ahead of South Korea's presidential election in December will prompt further bilateral discussions on improving ties after the race's outcome.
Japan has long disputed the sovereignty of what it calls the Takeshima Islands, which it claims fall under the jurisdiction of Shimane Prefecture. But South Korea, which refers to the islets as Dokdo, has administered them since the 1950s. They are located in rich fishing grounds in the Sea of Japan, about 157 km northwest of Shimane's Oki Islands and roughly 90 km southeast of South Korea's Ulleungdo Island.
Tokyo and Seoul are also at odds over the long-standing issue of Korean women forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army during the war.

In 2012, a team of 100 staffers had been tracking millions of people since 2008 in an effort to influence their behavior on one specific day. The team quickly realized that there were three levers to achieve victory: the number of registrants, the number of people they had to persuade to act, and the turnout on that special day. Yet one factor that wasn't available before was even more significant to the success of this campaign than all three levers combined: The campaign's focus on mobile analytics.
When Obama campaign staffers described their victory to me it was clear mobile and data analytics were going to have a significant impact on the political and business world. They had taken all of the data from their email campaigns, social media channels, online websites, organizing field volunteers, and communications staff and unified the data into one analytics environment. This then gave the campaign the opportunity to mobilize its volunteers with the appropriate messages, in a door to door effort to sway voters. The campaign also targeted prospective voters with mobile ads and social media messaging with pinpoint accuracy. Finally, analyzing the results of these experiments helped the campaign learn how to influence people to change behavior.
The campaign offers a number of lessons for businesses and for gaming companies like Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA). And it appears EA has secured its curriculum. After talking to a number of industry insiders, analyzing current mobile and data trends, and analyzing EA's current hiring needs, positions like Sr. Monetization Product Manager, Research Data Scientist, Mobile User Acquisition Specialist and Mobile Ad Operations Specialist it's clear they are positioning themselves to profit from the enormous increase in mobile devices worldwide.
The UN's International Telecommunication Union published a "facts and figures" report, revealing that nearly everyone on the planet has a mobile phone including an 89% penetration rate in developing countries. In the US, over the past four years, the percentage of households using mobile devices for gaming jumped nearly 40 percentage points, far outpacing console games.
This isn't news, but when you combine those figures with the amount of data that's now available to game developers like EA, the opportunity to profit from that information is boundless. Take the game Candy Crush. Because King, its developer, conducted myriad experimentations and received feedback from user data, it was able to create a game that makes an estimated $850,000 a day and has almost 7.5 active players (that's far more than EA's entire mobile user base).
Another company called P4RC, proves that user acquisition can be far more viral on mobile devices than gaming consoles. P4RC allows players to accumulate points in every game their network, users then spend the points on real world rewards like those from Best Buy (NYSE:BBY), Target (NYSE:TGT) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). The company's software also encourages users to try other games in the network, thus increasing downloads across the board. This type of mobile based loyalty and reward systems can have a dramatic impact on player retention, frequency and duration of mobile gaming sessions.
Jason Seldon, P4RC's CEO told me, "By giving reward points to players (on top of existing achievement measures in a game), you provide the same type of feedback to players as seen in real-world redemption games - like Skeeball - where players are awarded tickets that can be redeemed for prizes. The result is far more time and money spent on the games."
While Zynga's (NASDAQ:ZNGA) stock price has been hammered recently because it continues to lose users faster than it acquires them, EA will learn from their mistakes and focus on the good and not the bad. At Zynga, product managers were the ultimate authority on what went in their games and what didn't. Data mattered, but revenue mattered even more, and Zynga product managers were compensated revenue conversion not user experience.
What Electronic Arts Will Do to Increase its Stock Price
Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins believes that the console market is dwindling and that console games will become a hobby market for the hard core gamer. That may be true, but the 5th installment of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) proves that a very large console market still exists (the game sold a record $1 billion and 15 million units worldwide in just three days).
But the future of Electronic Arts lies in mobile, social and data. Like the Obama campaign, EA will need to aggressively aggregate then target users across all of its platforms (console, online, mobile, social) then introduce them like P4RC does to their other titles and gaming platforms.
EA seems to be getting it, just last month they released Plants vs. Zombies 2 on iOS and like GTA (but on the mobile) it recorded 16 million downloads in just five days. The company has reported that they will release another 15 titles during the next 12 months. If they aggregate and use its data wisely, it can record another increase in its stock price even after gaining 90%+ in the last 12 months.
Best of all, by leveraging all of the user and game data all of its games are producing across all platforms, EA can further monetize by doing some or all of the following:
1. Hyper local and hyper targeted advertising. If EA understands where the user is located and can understand patterns of gaming behavior, it can sell that data to hungry advertisers.
2. User behavior pattern recognition. We've all taken job screening tests that introduce psychological questions and situations in an effort to understand what type of employee we might be, but imagine the information that can be derived by situational factors in-game. For example, if we know that in a controlled test environment that top salespeople play games very aggressively, trade and negotiate with other players effectively, and take a lot of calculated risks, EA could easily look for similar patterns of behavior and introduce job hiring companies to those people.
3. EA will do a better job of understanding its most loyal players and introduce or partner with companies like P4RC to introduce new gaming mechanics that keep players playing longer and helping to cross sell EA's other games.
4. EA will become an expert in building virality into its games. They won't overdue it like Zynga and cause players to flee, they will seek to understand user data and behavior to create mobile games that generate more money without sacrificing the user experience. The only way to do this is to rapidly test and adapt with small subgroups of gamers. When they find monetization options that work, EA will then scale it out to the rest of the gamers. Let's call this revenue hacking - because they'll have to keep
Because of this and because I believe in EA's new leadership, the stock is a buy and hold for the long term. But if the company is unable to aggregate and properly understand its user data because of bureaucracy and infighting, then the company may go the way of Zynga. Hopefully EA has learned that lesson.
(Note: Mark Fidelman is a former advisor to P4RC and Electronic Arts is a former customer)

The build-up wasn't as much excruciating as it was mind-blowing for Champlin Park ninth-grader Taylor Guckeen.
Making her first state gymnastics appearance, Guckeen had arrived to at the University of Minnesota's Sports Pavilion Feb. 22 with the hopes of gaining some knowledge of what was to come by just being a spectator.
As she sat and watched the team portion of the Class AA event, her eye's could only grow a the wonderment of what the experience would actually feel like 24 hours later.
"It was cool to see what I was going up against, but also to get a feel for the energy in this place," Guckeen said. "There is more people here than any meet I've ever been in, and the competition is really, really good."
That fact was evident to Guckeen a week prior, when she watched Roseville dominate the Section 5AA competition. Friday, with Guckeen watching from above, the Raiders won their sixth state championship in the past eight years.
Saturday, when the Section 5AA competitors entered their fourth rotation in the individual portion of the meet, Guckeen joined them in the balance beam routine.
She had advanced to state after turning in a 9.4 to qualify out of Section 5 a week prior. She then turned that week leading up to the meet into what she said might have been the best week of practice she ever had.
"It was," said Champlin Park head gymnastics coach Jon Wynia. "She did 30 routines in practice this week and hit on 29 of them. She was in a zone, and all we wanted her to do here was to stay in that zone. She owns the routine, and she just needed to go out and show everybody that."
In the most pressure-packed 90 seconds of her still young gymnastics career, Guckeen put on a show.
She didn't match the score she posted in sections, but the 9.175 she had in her first state meet appearance did place her 12th out of the 32 individual qualifiers on the apparatus,
"It was a little wobbly," she said, "but I got through it. I just wanted to mostly stay on [the beam]. I didn't want to fall."
As most of the state's best gymnasts showed throughout the night, that is much easier said than done.
But then again, most of those girls don't have the background that Guckeen enjoys.
Her mother and part-time coach Raquel Guckeen was a three-time state meet entrant for Park Center High School in the 1980's, and has spent a lot of her time since then coaching at the high school level.
Raquel Guckeen was everywhere with her daughter Saturday, including on the floor next to her before and after her beam performance.
"I think it is just really great for her to get this opportunity," said Raquel. "She's worked really hard for this, and I'm really proud of her."
Taylor noted the irony in that the balance beam was also her mother's best event. She also said – like many before her, including her mom – that it was important not to take this moment for granted.
Sure, she is a ninth-grader with three more years of high school gymnastics in front of her. But in a sport where injuries often play a prominent role in everything involved, there are no promises.
"You never know," said Taylor. "It is cool to think that I could come here in the future, but it is also cool to say that I've been here, no matter what happens. I know how hard it is. Hopefully I stay healthy enough to get a chance to come back, because this place is awesome."

PurrVerse: Adult Sex Workers Are Arrested When We "Think Of The Children"
I woke up one morning last week to my Twitter in an uproar. That's reasonably common in my world, as many of the people I follow are marginalized and there's a lot to be angry about. Turns out that the FBI has seized MyRedbook, a California site where masseuses and escorts could advertise for clients for free, and arrested two people, Eric Omuro and Annmarie Lanoce, in connection to "using the mail and the Internet to facilitate prostitution" as well as money laundering under several aliases.
As of right now it's not entirely clear if those arrests were the main focus of the sting, or if there will be more upcoming. It's terrifying to many people close to me, who used MyRedbook to advertise their erotic entertainment services because other options like Eros were too expensive or less trafficked by paying customers. We don't really know what options sex workers who had profiles up on MyRedbook have to protect themselves from investigation. I'm among them, as I used to advertise on MyRedbook as a professional dominatrix.
It's a gray area of sex work, because strictly speaking it's not prostitution (or maybe is- laws around sex and money are often purposefully vague). I chose it after advertising for years on Craigslist before it was pressured to shut down its adult services (along with Backpage). I didn't find it to be the best site, but it had decent traffic and I got booked when I put in the effort to hustle. Advertising on the internet and communicating via email creates a paper trail in case I don't come home some night (a reality many sex workers consider when booking clients), as well as offering the possibility of filtering clients, getting references, and blacklisting people who are bad customers. With MyRedbook, the forum for sex workers, MyPinkbook, is also gone, along with the resources it made available for sex workers to communicate with each other to stay safe when the police are not an option.
It's interesting that every single time an adult site is shut down, "child prostitution rings" or "sex trafficking" are cited as the reasons. Companies like Google throw down big money to support these anti-trafficking measures, even though the statistics suggest the money lines the pockets of organizers more than it helps at-risk populations. I hear how we must think of the children, yet when you look at the statistics of who gets arrested, it's vulnerable adults who end up in handcuffs. Teenagers who go into sex work are often assumed to have less agency than they do, studies have suggested — sex work provides a sustainable survival method for many homeless youth, male, female, trans and cis. So if they are not all in the danger anti-sex work feminists want us to believe they are, who is getting caught in these police webs?
I spoke to one woman who was arrested for sex work in 2010. The cops used money that was earmarked for child trafficking to instead waste manhours chatting her up over several days before coming in for the sting.
"They basically dicked around with me for days over email," she told me. "He said he had never seen anyone before and didn't have references but was willing to meet up with me at a cafe for a meet n' greet. Honestly? He spent so much time writing that I thought what fucking cop would have the time. There was no way that they could have mistaken that I'm on my own and of age — it's obviously not a way to target children or pimps."
I asked my friend, who asked to remain anonymous, what the arrest process was like.
"Oh my god, there were five cops, multiple cars. It was a big ordeal. I was like seriously? This much time, this many people, all for little ol' me? And they leered, arguing over who got to escort me to the car. The cops asked me so many other really rude and inappropriate questions like… if I was pregnant, if I had any STDs, when my last period was. They took 15 bazillion pictures of all my condoms, trying to shame me. The sheriff was even wearing a shirt with some sort of weird misogynist sexual innuendo.
It was kind of a jerkoff thing for them. They had the funds and they didn't have anything particularly better that they wanted to do than fuck with me. I was in a cell with a bunch of girls who *did* look young to me, all on the phone crying to their pimps. But as far as I could tell they didn't get the pimps and they didn't try to get the pimps. I went to court over it. My lawyer made the lovely argument that hitting me with a record would negatively impact my bright future… which of course is true for anyone, not just those who are white and middle class. But whatever, the case was dismissed."
I asked her, "Did they even ask you if you were coerced?" I mean, in theory, the whole point of these stings is to save women who are being forced to do sex work by pimps, right?
Welp, they never asked. I guess they were too busy counting her condoms and asking about her sexual health. Makes it pretty clear who, and what, they "protect and serve" — white capitalist patriarchy.
May I remind you how often the police have raped women they're supposed to "protect," like domestic violence victims … or sex workers? In San Jose, where I live, a cop was arrested for raping a domestic violence victim after she called 911 for help. Never mind how well the police deal with rape even when another person wearing a badge isn't involved … many police officers, when asked, hold to concepts of "rape-rape" (violent stranger in the bushes) as the main definition they look for. It doesn't particularly give me a lot of faith that the police are the best people to deal with the traumatized women and children that these rescue missions are supposedly for. Why anyone would think the prison industrial complex which fails women so often when it comes to rape reports and convictions would be the right way to go on this boggles the mind.
In short, no, I do not trust the police have my best interests at heart, and I'm a privileged white cisgendered woman. Basically, it seems to me that California is determined to ensure that women who go into sex work die on the streets, at the hand of an abuser who will go unpunished, or in jail. That would, of course, include me, and many people I know …. particularly the trans women and women of colour.
I asked my friend what she thought about the MyRedbook bust. She was pretty cynical.
"Let's be realistic here. This isn't about helping trafficked sex workers. They want his 5 million dollar property. I mean, that's some nice loot."
Between this and the mandated condom bill, AB1576, I'm so grateful that anti-sex work feminists care so deeply for our wellbeing that they're pushing sex workers to desperation by removing our only methods of making money without any solutions for how to survive financially. It's great to see how they're happy to offer us makeup and cupcakes but not practical resources like job connections, education funding, and medical support. What could possibly go wrong?
The next time you read some hysteria about child prostitution stings, look at who gets arrested and how the arrests go down. At-risk people are put at more risk by these measures, and it needs to be exposed for what it is — supporting, not women and children, but the corporate, patriarchal status quo.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/6/2012 (1880 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
PITTSBURGH -- Every good recipe has a key ingredient.
Adding a Sutter to the mix has worked for years in hockey, including only a few weeks ago when the L.A. Kings and mid-season coaching addition Darryl Sutter won the Stanley Cup.
The Winnipeg Jets are going to give this bloodlines method a try. They added Darryl's nephew Lukas on Saturday with their second-round choice in the NHL entry draft at Consol Energy Center.
"We really like the way he plays," Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said. "He provides a lot of sandpaper for us. In the prospect category, he's someone that's very determined to play. He's someone in the interview process and the way he plays, we're real excited that we were able to get him."
Sutter, 18, has completed two WHL seasons with the Saskatoon Blades, improving his production to 28 goals and 59 points in 70 games in the past season.
He fought less and took on a role that included responsibilities against opposition stars.
"You want to continue to grow as a player and I think my role is going to continue to expand," Sutter said. "The physical game will probably tone back a little this year. My third year in the league as a 19-year-old, you're obviously expected to produce a little more, to be a little more dependable, so that's what I'm going to have to do."
Sutter, former NHLer Rich's son, compared himself to cousin Brandon, who was traded this weekend to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"I think I play a little bit similar to Brandon, but a little more sandpaper to my game, a little bit tougher," Lukas said.
"It's something where you have to play that way to be a successful player nowadays, the way L.A. played down the stretch.. Everyone was physical and paid the price."
Sutter came to the draft for Friday's first round and admitted it caused him stress.
"It was tough," he said. "I thought there might be an outside chance somebody would take a flyer on me.
"It was something we hoped would happen, but it didn't happen. It was a long night. But I'm happy that it happened so quickly today. Last night I prepared to be a spectator, prepared to come and just enjoy it. Today was quick and I hoped it would happen early."
Sutter was chosen with the 39th overall pick, Saturday's ninth pick in Round 2.
The occasion also brought a rare sight -- a Sutter a bit wobbly.
Rich Sutter appeared to be near tears talking about his son.
"It means a lot," he said. "I think probably for us, that would be a great question for Luke's sisters and mom. To see the excitement on them, it was real exciting."
When did Rich know his son might have the right stuff?
"The biggest thing is his passion," he said. "He's a very passionate kid. To be around his uncles and his dad, not a lot has to be said. He's been taught a lot along the way. The biggest thing is I really believe in my heart if you want something bad enough and you stay grounded, good things will happen to those kinds of people. He's done a good job at that."
Lukas said a few weeks ago at the scouting combine that being a Sutter hockey player obliged him to play no particular style. It's simply ingrained.
"I grew up around the game and I don't think there's anything else I'd rather be doing."
Hockey clan glad Lukas in Winnipeg
DOES it matter to the Sutter family that Lukas was chosen by a Canadian team (the Jets, 39th overall, on Saturday)?
Rich Sutter: "It does to a degree. For sure it does. Really, there's good people in all organizations. That's a good thing our hockey world is blessed with. In this instance, with the Winnipeg people, Mr. Chipman right now down to the management team, there's a lot of very good people there. This is pretty exciting."

I see dramatic differences in running times between the built-in list sequence and a naive implementation of list sequencing. What can I do to make this naive implementation run faster? (I have a cons-like structure I want to provide a prop:sequence for, but I would like it to be nearly as fast as the real cons if possible). Thanks, David #lang scheme (define ls (build-list 100000 (lambda (i) i))) (define (ls->seq ls) (make-do-sequence (lambda () (values first rest ls (compose not empty?) (lambda (p) true) (lambda (p v) true))))) (define seq (ls->seq ls)) (collect-garbage) (time (for ([i seq]) (void i))) (collect-garbage) (time (for ([i ls]) (void i))) cpu time: 2009 real time: 2032 gc time: 0 cpu time: 685 real time: 700 gc time: 0

Hi -
The field group remains on the page when the fields within that group are hidden using Drupals form states or the "Conditional Fields" module, which is just a ui way on implementing form states.
I think we can accomplish this by writing some jQuery code to check if the fields are hidden, or visible. If all fields are hidden then we just can hide that field group. Although, I think we would have to react on when the dependent field has been changed, so we can make the field group visible so the field dependencies are then shown correctly.

No Weather In Napa, Instead A Restaurant Report
I love to walk in the evening when it is just getting dark. The lights come on in the houses and I can see people preparing dinner. Very little blue glow from TVs. The light is gold coming from the houses and the people are in their kitchens. Eating is big in Napa.
I sensed a kindred spirit when Parker Hall told me about a friend of his who lives near downtown. He also walks in the evening, and his ritual is to count the people in the restaurants, "Morimoto was busy. Uva about 15." Parker filmed a cooking demo for the local public access station this afternoon and at the end he included a "Restaurant Report" from his friend. Only in Napa.
Parker told me this story over dinner with his wife Janet. We had a fresh salad with fuji apples and carrots dressed with his secret (or it should be, but he shares everything) green dressing and enchiladas that were so deeply, roundly and richly flavored with ancho chile steeped in beef stock I'm not likely to forget them soon.
He cooks for his friends, so don't be a stranger. Get on his Park Hall Comfort Takeout email list for your own enchilada fix.

We may choose to build nuclear power plants, or we may choose a view of today's lapping waves over worries about tomorrow's tsunami, but let's not kid ourselves about who's responsible for our choices and their consequences. Nature is blameless. If blame must be placed, let us appropriately assume it ourselves.
We decided to build towns on the beach and cities on the faults; we created the complex web of power-hungry machines that require ever more energy. After that mindful reckoning, let us stockpile resources and make evacuation plans and fund more disaster response agencies, even as we take a long, hard, soul-searching look at our insistence on hauling out experts to justify bad ideas whenever they serve our short-term priorities.
Energy is the foundation of modern civilized life. Can we generate power cleanly and safely? Can we teach ourselves to live more frugally and use energy more wisely? We are in the midst of a great investigation of those questions. We do the Earth and ourselves the greatest disservice in imagining that addressing them lies outside our lives and choices.
Experience has taught me to have faith in a higher power, which for the sake of efficiency I call God, but my God is not the great gray-bearded guy in the sky tugging and pulling at Earth's strings. Instead I believe in the God of Exodus 3:14, "I am what I am," or, in another translation, "I am what is."
"What is" includes everything — earthquakes, tsunamis, laughing babies, your little dog Spot. God's great wisdom has left to us human beings the creation of a world in which we can devise and practice virtue. We will do ourselves and the world a great service by taking responsibility for our choices, in our language and in our lives.

Wanna know what's happening on the web this week? There are teen queens, Marines, a song that brings screams, the return of a meme and a resignation burrito supreme! Here's the week in viral:
How To Talk Like Kristen Stewart
If you wanna… y'know… uh… talk like the girl from Twilight or… whatever… watch this? [Barely Political]
The Return of Rebecca Black
Rather than embed her much talked about follow-up to "Friday," here's a "Game of Thrones" reference. You're very welcome. [Buzzfeed]
Big Blue Ball Machine IRL
First, watch this classic bit of internettery, if you haven't already. Then enjoy the sweded version.
Marine Asks Out Betty White
Unlike his fellow Marines, who scored dates with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, this soldier ultimately got rejected. The lesson: old people will always prefer singing telegrams.
Take This Job and Stuff It Up Your Gordita Hole
For a resignation this awesome, he really had to think outside the bun. [TDW]
See you next week for more links. Not less, but more! More, I say. If anyone said there'd be less links, then look that person in the eye and call them what they really are: a goddamn liar.

Sanctuary One – At Double Oak Farm
Printer Friendly
People, animals and the earth: Better together
Sanctuary One at Double Oak Farm is a care farm where people, animals, and the earth work together for mutual healing. We envision a future where care farms are as commonplace in the United States as libraries, hospitals, and colleges.
A care farm provides an ideal environment in which to learn and practice the art of care giving in a way that also transforms the caregiver. Care farming (also known as green care, farm care, or farming for health), is well established in Europe, but is a relatively new concept in the United States.
Double Oak Farm abuts thousands of acres of national forest alongside the Applegate River. A scenic hiking trail provides access to the Siskiyou Mountains.
With your help, Sanctuary One can provide a safe and caring home for needy animals; we can do something about the nature deficit disorder that more and more people are suffering from because they are constantly plugged into a computer instead of outside interacting with nature and animals; and we can teach others how permaculture can convert a traditional farm into an organic and sustainable food forest.
For more information, please visit the Sanctuary One website.

First of all I requested a non-smoking room and got one for smokers. The furniture was in very poor condition, very old, the TV remote wasn't working at all, no air conditioning, the windows could not be closed at all. Athough included in the room price, we didn't have breakfast because we didn't trust the food. I'm glad we stayed there in the last day of our vacation, on the way back, otherwise it would have ruined all our holiday. I definitely not recommend this hotel. Stay away!
Бесплатная парковка и близкое расположение к дороге. Free parking and close arrangement to road. It was cold. The Internet didn't work in number. Doors have been broken. Awful communistic atmosphere of last years.
The staff. They were excellent. The Hotel. Did not look anything like the photo's from the internet. The room was very poor and is definitely not worth 45euro a night. Ambience of a backpacker's hostel with the service of a 5star hotel.
If you have a car, this is the best possible location. Hotel is old but wallue for money is exelent. Food is exelent and cheep. In hot days, you will miss A/C but that cost a lot in Belgrade.

Cool with no breeze. A light jacket is perfect and so is my cast. The devil horse, my old friend, the green and yellow one, nestles in tight against the grass. I let it sit until the ripples die down, then start it back toward the boat. Twitch-twitch-jerk stop. KaBloom! Fish on.
I guess the Higher Power decided to give me a break. For once, the fish measured-exactly 14-inches. In the box and back to work. Big Bird and I had the combination. For 90 minutes, we piddled and paddled around the weed beds on Old Hickory and were present for the Miracle of Misty Cove. Even the resident beaver approved. She came out of the big house on the ridge just long enough to slap the water and scare the bejeepers out of us. Someday I am going to blow that house up.
Ten of the 11 bass we caught on topwater lures were between 14 and 15 inches; all legal keepers and they were kept. Usually on Old Chickory, the bass are 13-inches and not legal. That is why it was a miracle. Talk about good eating size fish. It can only get slightly better.
And it did.
When the bass action stopped, we had some options. One option was to dig out the spoons and head for the top-secret hidey-hole that usually will produce a walleye or a sauger. That is what is slightly better eating than a bass of 14-inches.
Big Bird got the boat just right and I started fumbling around looking for a spoon. I knew I did not have a spoon but I figured if I fumbled enough, the Bird would offer me one.
Instead, he started catching fish. The first one in was a perfect walleye, just great eating size.
Then he put a sauger of the same size in the boat. That is when I spoke to him rather sharply about the silver spoon or lack thereof. Understanding as he is, he finally gave me one.
At 10 minutes past time for me to leave, we had exactly 10 bass, three walleye and three sauger in the box. The Bird allowed as how he did not want any of them. I did not try to change his mind. He had already given me a quart of his fantastic squash relish and I had visions of supper dancing in my head.
There is a trick to filleting walleye and sauger and it is hard to explain. Their rib cages contain a tremendous amount of meat and if you are careful, you can fillet out the rib cage and have meat in the amount of another fillet.
In mid-afternoon, after the fish had been on ice long enough to make the easy to fillet, I proceeded to put the knife to all the fish. What a small mountain of fillets. I set six aside for my supps.
You batter that delicate white meat differently. At least I do. I like a thin batter so I cut my cornmeal with flour about 60-40 in the cornmeals favor.
I dip the fillet in ice water and two beaten eggs and then shake it in the batter. Cooking oil in the fryer is at 375 and just a minute or two is all you want. Just get the batter golden brown and the fish starting to float.
Your tomatoes are sliced as is your onion and your French fries were salted while still hot and have drained on the paper towels.
Now all that is required is a big glass of tea and good helping of the squash relish. Talk about good eating!
Hard to beat fish and fixins if you know how to do the fixin.
And the fishin.

I appreciate the little things in life and love the small beauties in this world. Sometimes it is so satisfying to laugh for hours over pointless nothings, but I also appreciate a great debate of concepts I can pretend to be knowledgeable about.
I want to see the entire world, climb every mountain I can get my hands on and see as many breathtaking pieces of nature possible in this life. Every time I travel someplace new, I am so humbled by the vastness of this world and the endlessness of the beauties we are surrounded by.
SHOWS = Dexter is the latest obsession
MUSIC = anything from Lil Wayne to The Beatles, Grateful Dead, Johnny Cash, The Head and the Heart, Imagine Dragons, Mumford & Sons, local bands that no one has heard about, The Fray, Rascal Flatts and even a little Eminem

Better than expectedFirst, I know that all shampoos work differently for all people. I saw some bad reviews on this on many sites. But this worked great on my hair! After about a weeks worth of use I saw my hair look healthier! It has a thick consistency and lathers well. I still wash my hair twice though. A little goes a long way, and i have waist length hair. — 7 years, 9 months agoclr138 | 13 reviews

Madgeline Virginia "Madge" Gibson
RAPID CITY- Madgeline Virginia "Madge" Gibson, 89, died Tuesday, October 15, 2013 in Rapid City, South Dakota. Madge was born April 24, 1924 in Navarro County to Thomas W. and Lena (Reavis) Nichols. She grew up and attended grade school in Blooming Grove, junior high in Latch and high school in Gilmer, TX . After high school she went to work as a car hop at Thompson's Café in Corsicana, Tex., where she met her future husband, Verne Leroy Gibson, who was being trained to work on B-52's. Verne had to return to EAFB, and shortly thereafter he sent Madge a train ticket to come to South Dakota to get married. Verne asked his best man, Frank Rubin, to escort her safely to Rapid City, since he could not do so himself. They were married on February 6, 1943 in Rapid City. Madge always wanted to travel, so when Verne was offered the opportunity to become a quality control inspector for the federal missile program, she encouraged him to join. They took their family on temporary assignments to Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, Montana, and Washington State all the while maintaining their permanent home in Cleghorn Canyon. During their retirement years, they spent half of the year in Rapid City and the other half in Ennis. Madge was a member of the senior citizens centers in Ennis and Rapid City. Madge is survived by her children: Marlena J. (Thomas D.) Parr, Geneva, Ill; Mark Gibson, Rapid City and Patricia "Patty" (Steve) Griffin, Rapid City; three brothers: Geral (Bobbi) Nichols, Paskell (Betty) Nichols and Terry Nichols, all of Corsicana; her granddaughter, Paula Jean (Matt) Mitchell, of Cedar Rapids, IA and their daughter and Madge's only great grandchild, Autumn Elizabeth Mitchell and many nieces and nephews in Texas. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Verne L. Gibson on May 30, 1990; son, Gary D. Gibson on April 15, 2010; daughter, Alverna Joyce Gibson Bailey, on June 14, 2012; and twin brothers Billy and Bobby Nichols. Visitation will be from 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 20, 2013 at Osheim & Schmidt Funeral Home in Rapid City. Services will be at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, October 21, 2013 at Calvary Lutheran Church, 5311 Sheridan Lake Road, Rapid City. Interment will follow at 1:30 p.m. at the Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis, South Dakota. A memorial has been established to Calvary Lutheran Church in Rapid City. Her online guestbook is available at www.osheimschmidt.com.

Ireland Honeymoon Stories
Caitlin & David
Staring at the dolmen, I am struck by a sense of deep and disorienting connectivity. This is why we wanted to come to Ireland in the first place: to feel a sense of connection, unbound by time, to the people who walked this earth before us. The feeling is difficult to find in America, where everything of historical significance is so very young by comparison, and where most sites are pristinely kept and reconstructed, turned into tourist attractions with visitor's centers and gift shops. Not so in Ireland.
Lesley & Jacob
The Emerald Isle enchanted us the moment we stepped off the plane in Dublin. Even from the airport, the cool air and green hills in the distance were enticing. Me, being the type A personality that I am, contacted an "Ireland Expert" to help us plan an itinerary. I had heard Dingle was one of the most beautiful places on earth, so she helped us plan a road trip along the Southwest coast of Ireland. Our stops included Kilkenny, Kenmare, Dingle, Doolin, and then back to Dublin. We picked up our rental car at the Dublin airport. Somehow I was designated as driver for our trip. Jacob was nervous about driving on the opposite side of the road; I was nervous about the roundabouts. Ultimately, his fear won out over mine.
Anne & Jared
Anne and I have been fully functioning adults for quite some time before we decided to wed. I, at 32, was already a homeowner and possessed all the necessities required for bachelor survival (such as beer steins, video game systems, and several vintage 1970s Star Wars figurines). She, at 29, had accumulated several apartments' worth of dishtowels, linens, and silverware. When we did combine our belongings for our impending union, we ended up having two of almost everything and had to make use of yard sales and needy friends to prevent our house from being cluttered to the point of non-livability.
Jessica & Sean
My husband and I had been dating for a long time before we tied the knot. Since we had waited for so long, we were able to have an amazing wedding. We also saved up in order to have the honeymoon of our dreams. We had always wanted to visit Ireland and Scotland.
Debbie & Steve
It is said that if it rains on your wedding day, it's good luck. But nobody told us that good luck also was to be had when a wayward seagull torpedoes its dung from high all of you on your honeymoon. Or at least that's what everyone in Galway, Ireland told us on our final evening of a memorable trip capping our first three weeks as a married couple. We were to learn the hard way that apparently both are true.
Heather & Bryan
Our favorite things were getting lost, which we did a lot of, but finding some of the most amazing old ruins and seeing the rural areas of Ireland make it all worth while. And getting to see in person all of the beautiful old places I have seen in pictures only.
Lisa & Roger
When you're a ghost hunter planning your honeymoon, the destination is obvious. The British Isles are known for their magic and mystery - romantic tales of knights and royal families, bloody battles, beheadings and torture techniques that stand your hair on end, fairies, kelpies, banshees, crop circles and the Loch Ness Monster. When your husband-to-be enthusiastically agrees that a 17-day tour of England, Scotland and Ireland sounds like the perfect getaway, ghosts and all, you know you're marrying someone who shares your sense of wonder and adventure.
Erin & Sam
Honeymoons can be tough to plan – there are so many wonderful places to visit! We are both seasoned world travelers, and neither of us are the beach bum type, so when we were trying to decide on a place for our honeymoon, we wanted a place that offered hiking, history and adventure. While we were exploring our options, we realized that we always mentioned Ireland and how much we loved it, though we'd never been there together. With rich mythology, a lively culture, beautiful land and family roots for both of us, Ireland turned out to be the perfect spot to celebrate our new life together.

anichila27 MAY, 2009I made this tonight with fresh from the garden arugula, radishes, and lemon. I added a can of tuna belly to the salad which brought a nice bit of saltiness to the dish. Bright and fresh. Delicious.Reply
saramechelle27 AUG, 2008Although this is a very basic salad, it makes an excellent side dish. The tasty lemon vinaigrette and peppery veggies provide a nice counterpoint to heavier dishes. I wouldn't serve it on its own as a salad course, but it's a wonderful way to balance out oily, cheesy main dishes (of which I am very fond).Reply

Salve Regina places great value on the contributions a quality residential experience can make to a student's development. Experience has shown that campus residency in the first two years of a student's college career is crucial to personal growth and the refinement of social skills. As a result, first-year students and sophomores who are not commuting to campus from their parents' home are guaranteed housing and are required to live on campus.
Room Assignments
For first-year students, the room assignment process begins with an online housing application, which provides the Office of Residence Life with the information necessary to assign students a roommate and residence hall room.
Housing applications are available in the Portal through July 1. After July 1, room and roommate requests are processed. Please note that roommate requests are only granted when all students requesting roommates have indicated the option on their respective applications.
In mid-July, first-year students receive notification through their Salve Regina email address that their room assignment and roommate information is available through the Portal.
First Year Housing
Our first-year residence halls offer three styles of living, all of which promote an inclusive and welcoming transition to life on campus.

Freshmen shine as Norwin girls work overtime for win
Over the span of one game, Norwin's girls went from shaky to superb.
The Knights rallied from a first quarter without a field goal to force overtime and eventually won, 58-52, over Shaler in their season opener Friday at the Penn-Trafford Tipoff Tournament.
Freshman Alayna Gribble scored 23 points, including seven in overtime, in her varsity debut for Norwin, and senior Nikki Ingel chipped in with eight points, four assists and a team-high nine rebounds for the Knights. Shaler was led by Courtney Bauer, who had 17 points.
"It was a great game to be a part of, whether you were in it, coaching it or watching it," Norwin coach Brian Brozeski said. "Both sides really played their hearts out, and what really paid dividends for us was our depth."
"Most of our close games last year, we couldn't finish them out, and we ended up losing," Ingel said. "It feels real good to finish that one."
The Knights used 11 players in the game, and though they struggled on the offensive end early in the game, Norwin's defensive performance helped to keep the team in position to win. Norwin finished the game with 10 steals and outrebounded the Titans, 43-33.
"We base our whole game around defense," Ingel said. "We don't try to reach in and take the ball; we just try to keep pressure on them to force them to turn the ball over themselves. Our defense is definitely what got us back into that game."
That pressure began to pay off in the second quarter, when Norwin went on a 9-0 run that was sparked by good foul shooting and a 3-pointer by Gribble. The first half ended tied, 21-21, and by the end of the third quarter, Norwin had taken a four-point lead.
Shaler opened the fourth quarter with a 7-0 run of its own, and with 3:15 left in regulation, Norwin trailed, 43-38. Gribble scored the next four points, and Amanda Batey put the Knights back ahead before the teams traded foul shots to reach a 45-45 tie.
Both teams had chances to score in the final minute of regulation, but the game headed to overtime when Gribble's desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer was long.
Abbey Conrad scored first in the overtime period for Shaler, but Norwin took the lead for good on a 3-pointer by Ingel. Gribble and fellow freshman Dominique Petach scored the Knights' remaining 10 points in the extra frame, as the two freshmen partnered with Ingel and Batey, a sophomore, to consistently break Shaler's full-court press.
"The whole team has done a nice job to make sure our freshmen don't feel like freshmen out there," Brozeski said.
"Both Dom and Alayna hadn't been on the varsity court, but they have competitive basketball experience. The seniors have really done a good job taking them under their wing, and (the freshmen) get confidence from knowing their team is behind them."
Gribble again led the Knights in scoring with 13 during the team's second game on Saturday, a 49-35 loss to Plum, as the first-year player continued to show she could score against older competition at the varsity level.
"I've seen these (freshman) girls play since they were little. I've grown up with them, so I know they can play, and I respect them a lot," Ingel said. "It doesn't matter who is scoring, we've got to do whatever it takes to get the ball in the hoop."
Norwin got off to a slow start for the second straight game — they trailed, 16-4, after one quarter — but a second comeback wasn't in the works on Penn-Trafford's newly-renovated floor.
The Knights move quickly into Section 1-AAAA play this week, as they go on the road to Latrobe at 7:30 p.m on Thursday.
The game is slated to be the third this week for Norwin, which had nonsection games against Bethel Park and North Allegheny scheduled for earlier this week.
Norwin fell on Monday to Bethel Park, 64-55. Scoring information from the game was not available at press time.
The game against North Allegheny was scheduled for Tuesday, after this edition's deadline.

Silchar, Aug. 2: The Calcutta-Silchar-Guwahati-Imphal daily flights, which were scrapped by Alliance Air from June 1 last, will resume from October 1 simultaneously with the six-month suspension of the train service between the Silchar and Lumding junction.
The railway scheme involves laying broad-gauge tracks between the junctions.
This was disclosed last night by the Congress Lok Sabha MP from Silchar, Sushmita Dev, after she met Union civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju in New Delhi.
Dev had appealed for the resumption of this vital air link. She said Alliance Air would also start the short-haul three-days-a-week ATR flights between Calcutta-Silchar-Tezpur-Silchar-Calcutta from 10 August on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Thanksgiving Countdown: Yams vs. Sweet Potatoes
A question about the Thanksgiving menu: Are there any nutritional differences between the regular orange sweet potatoes and the new "white" sweet potatoes? And what's the difference between sweet potatoes and yams?
First off, yams and sweet potatoes are from completely unrelated botanical families — and there are big nutritional differences. Sweet potatoes, from the morning glory family, are notably high in beta-carotene. Yams, which are related to lilies, are low in beta-carotene but higher in vitamin C. That said, virtually anything you see labeled as a yam in a U.S. grocery store is, in fact, a sweet potato. To find a true yam, you'll probably have to seek out a Caribbean or African market. It's pretty easy to tell the difference.True yams are much larger than sweet potatoes (some are as large as your arm!) and are often sold cut into chunks.
The white and yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes that have become more popular recently tend to be drier and slightly less sweet than the traditional orange variety. As you might expect, the paler flesh is also not as high in beta-carotene as the more richly-colored traditional variety.
Here are some great healthy recipes featuring sweet potatoes. To add a little novelty and visual interest without sacrificing nutrition, use a mix of sweet potatoes of different hues.
Fat-free Sweet Potato Fries
Here's a lower-fat version of traditional fries, which you might want to consider for the Thanksgiving feast.
Sweet Potato and Cabbage Slaw
Save time this holiday season by making this healthy salad with raw, and surprisingly delicious, sweet potatoes.
Sweet Potato and Fruit Salad
This is the kind of inspirational dish that will have guests asking: "How in the world did you ever think of this?"
Warm Sweet Potato and Spinach Salad
Salami is the secret spice that takes this salad side dish way over the top on anybody's holiday table.
Grilled Sweet Potato Salad
Of course, nobody can resist grilled sweet potatoes, which are terrific in a salad!
Who wants irresistible candied sweet potatoes this Thanksgiving?

Robert, they vary. It's up to the authors. Many on the letters coming up are handwritten, or hand-notated, it's about half and half. Though most of the first letters were typed. The fourth letter was a comic.
You've shared the best collection ever. "Sleek Minimal PSD Website" is seriously an incredible PSD.

Course modules
School based activities: This well-structured and supervised programme includes blocked time in schools/settings where trainees gain direct teaching experience and work with experienced prac�titioners in the classroom; school based sessions are undertaken in West Midland primary schools; teaching is graded as pass or fail and by the end of the 2nd practice trainees have gained experience of teaching approximately 80 per cent of the timetable in a supportive and guided context; teaching studies: this comprises a number of modules, often workshop-based, covering professional subject and age-range methodology, as well as general pedagogical skills and all other major educational issues.
Assessment methods
There are assessments on course work, teaching practice and the achievement of The Department for Education for the award of QTS. You will also undertake written assessments and some presentations derived from both faculty-based modules and school experiences.

Systemic Product Advice
Will using a systemic product, like Bayer Advanced Garden (fertilizer/insect control/disease control) be harmful to butterflies, bees & hummingbirds when they get nectar/pollen from the flowers of treated plants (like Zinnia, Bee Balm, etc)?
According to the label on the product, Bayer Advanced All-in-One systemic Rose & Flower Care will kill: Adelgids, Aphids, Black Vine Weevil Larvae, Japanese Beetles (adults), Lace Bugs, Leaf Beetles, Leafhoppers, Mealybugs, Psyllids, Thrips, Whiteflies and other listed insects. Be sure to read the complete label to make sure that butterflies, bees and hummingbirds are not listed.
The ingredient that could potentially be harmful to butterflies, bees & hummingbirds is Clothianidin. This is not found in Bayer Advanced All-in-One Systemic Rose and Flower Care or most of the other Bayer Advanced products. We recommend that you read the label to verify the ingredients.
