Mary J. Kraus, Thomas M. Bown; Short-term sediment accumulation rates determined from Eocene alluvial paleosols. Geology ; 21 (8): 743–746. doi: https://doi.org/10.1130/0091-7613(1993)021<0743:STSARD>2.3.CO;2

A new method uses alluvial paleosols to calculate sediment accumulation rates for thin (25 m) stratigraphic intervals and allows the reliable interpolation of ages for stratigraphic levels within a thick stratigraphic interval bounded by established dates. Sediment accumulation rates calculated for a 650 m composite section in the Eocene Willwood Formation of Wyoming span time intervals ranging from only 0.05 to 0.25 m.y. Important sedimentologic changes coincide with changes in accumulation rate and indicate close and direct relations between the history of basin subsidence and depositional patterns.

|Ok here was a little experiment I preformed showing the lag on 3 android based devices. Two of the devices are PMP's from the companies JXD and Yinlips and the third device is a SAMSUNG Galaxy Nexus. When running SOME but not all emulators there seems to be a sound lag and the devices have been getting the blame. I have come to the conclusion that devices are not to blame. It seems to be a problem with either the Android OS itself or the emulators not handling sound synch correctly. I added a non-android device into the mix to show you how the game is supposed to sound.
Great work qbertaddict, this gives us all hope!

Mobile Data Bridge
We are happy to announce the release of Mobile Data Bridge, a major update to the Urban Airship audience management toolset.
The two main features of Mobile Data Bridge are Named Users and Tag Groups. Named Users are a system for mapping customer-chosen IDs to channels. Named Users supersede aliases, our previous CRM-mapping standard.
Named Users
Like aliases, Named Users represent users, i.e., devices. You may associate multiple Channel IDs with a single Named User ID, and when you push to a Named User ID we will send to each device associated with that ID.
Named Users also support many new operations:
|Named User
|Send rich content and push notifications
|Manage tags
|Query current status with lookup and listing
|Composer support
Tag Groups
Managing tags on Named Users is done using the second Mobile Data Bridge component, Tag Groups.
Tag Groups
are configurable namespaces for tags. They can essentially be thought of as tag folders, allowing you
to classify metadata into different groups depending on the source of attribution. For example, if you have
a CRM database and you would like to tag a user as
frequent-buyer based on information accumulated by
this database, you could place the
frequent-buyer tag in the
crm Tag Group on that user's device.
This is a major improvement to our existing tag system because device-generated and server-generated metadata
will not interfere with one another. Tag Groups work with Named Users to make integrating your various
backend databases with Urban Airship a breeze.
This is a major release that gives you a higher level of control when managing your audience. We strongly encourage all customers to read the Mobile Data Bridge Primer and Quickstart Guide before attempting to implement these features. Once you understand some of the basic concepts, visit our User Guide for information on configuring Named Users and Tag Groups, or take a look at the new Named Users API.
Example: This customer has two Tag Groups configured: One tied to a loyalty program database and one tied to their CRM database.
Apple Watch
Urban Airship now supports push to Apple Watch!
To start pushing to this exciting new platform, see our topic guide on Apple Watch display styles. If you would like to push to Apple Watch using the API, please read about the title and category keys.
CSV Uploader Limit Increase
The Wallet CSV Uploader can now be used to create up to 5000 passes simultaneously, substantially increasing the previous 1000 pass limit.

Allowances For Carers
Fair Ways Foster Care recognise the challenges of the fostering task and the vital role that our foster carers play with offering a child/young person a placement. We believe in treating our foster carers as child care professionals and therefore pay our carers a foster carer allowance as a reward for their skills, commitment and care.
Employment status
In order to allow foster carers to take full advantage of some tax benefits given to them by the Inland Revenue all our foster carers are deemed by the Inland Revenue to be self-employed.
It is not possible to cover every foster carer's specific and personal circumstances, we recommend that foster carers seek advice from their local Inland Revenue office once they are approved as a foster carer.
Carer allowance payments
Fairways Foster Care pay the fostering allowance to foster carers by BACS on designated days each month. Payments of foster carer allowances and fees are made promptly at the agreed times and foster carers are provided with a detailed statement of payments at the end of each tax year.
About carer allowance
Foster carers receive a payment for each young person they look after and as an independent fostering agency, we are mindful to take into account government recommended National Minimum Fostering Allowances. Fairways Foster Care, pays a competitive weekly rate taking into account individual relative experience and commitment to on-going professional development. The payment foster carers receive is divided into two parts. Firstly the maintenance element, (covering the cost of looking after a child/young person) and secondly, the reward element (in recognition of the foster carer's skills). Fostering allowances are paid on a fortnightly basis to foster carers when there is a young person in placement. Dependent on individual situations, a retainer payment can be made in certain circumstances.
What the maintenance element covers
- Food
- Clothing
- Toiletries
- Pocket money/savings
- Christmas, Birthday or other festival presents
- Leisure activities, including holidays
- Transport within a 20 mile radius

Here are three things to watch for as No. 22 UCLA faces Oregon State on Saturday afternoon at Reser Stadium (1:30 p.m., Pac-12 Networks), plus a final-score prediction and game-preview links.
UCLA's depleted defense needs help. It was on the field last week for more than 41 minutes, as Colorado ran off 114 total plays. It should get some of the injured players back, including inside linebacker Kenny Young and cornerback Marcus Rios. That undoubtly would be a boost for Tom Bradley's bunch. But it needs the offense to click from the get-go, as well. Last week, the Bruins got off to slow start and went three-and-out on three of their first four drives to start the game. That put a lot of pressure on the defense. As banged up as the defense is, it needs the offense to sustain longer drives or at least put points on the scoreboard.
It will likely rain in Corvallis, at some point during the game, offering unfamiliar conditions for UCLA, a team with so many players from southern California. Whether this results in turnovers is something to watch. The Bruins already fumbled twice in last week's win over Colorado. Stephen Johnson did so on a kickoff return. Josh Rosen did so when he was sacked. Rosen has not thrown an interception in his last 98 pass attempts, but it was a problem earlier this season. He threw three interceptions against BYU, and two at Stanford. Will that return in the rain? Forcing turnovers is likely Oregon State's best shot at pulling off an upset.
Is this possible? In its five Pac-12 games, all coming since the loss of Myles Jack, UCLA's defense has surrendered 200-plus rushing yards three times, and 300-plus yards on the ground, twice. On average, it has given up 246 yards per game over that span. The Beavers have been able to run on some teams, rushing for 200-plus yards against Arizona and Colorado. Expect them to develop a similar to Colorado's: milk clock, run the ball. The Bruins at least should know what to expect.
FINAL SCORE: UCLA 38, Oregon State 21
No. 22 UCLA at Oregon State: Who has the edge?

Spent 9 days there, June 15-24. Check in was smooth and painless. Was offered a courtesy drink, but did not receive any documents about the property ie: restaurants, services offered. During the course of my visit received friendly service from Sue, Glenda, and H D Rojas aka Harold Rojas aka "little Pedro." The room was spacious with two queen size beds. Sleep quality was excellent. A table with lamp separated the two beds. There was a desk, chair and lamp; two whicker chairs; refrigerator with a rusted lamp shade to see what you put in the fridge; and spacious bureau with older tv. Cable selection was good. Housekeeping did a good job and they were HONEST! AC worked well. Bathroom had sufficient towels and toiletries. Hot water was always available in about 5-10 seconds. Outside, there was a spacious pool with water depth at 3-9 feet. Unfortunately, it was overrun with kids. Quiet was not an option. There is a dive shop, restaurant, and private beach on the property.
The adjoining casino is a DUMP!! Entering from the hotel, you are greeted by a "land-fill" of slot machines piled in the right corner. It's smokey as they voted to reinstate the cancer-causing habit. The slot machines are very poorly maintained if at all. The buttons on many were not operational while the screens were barely visible. Workers stood around doing little or NOTHING on the casino floor. The sports book contained 11 tables allowing viewing of soccer, baseball, and horse racing. Pinnacle ran the book.
It's a 20-minute walk to downtown. Cab fare is $30 from the airport.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

text: Written By Sol Kauffman Folks / Interesting Locals / Victoria Jun 12, 2014 How to Feed a Game Designer with KANO/APPS SHARE VIA: Facebook Twitter Pinterest No Doritos, no Twizzlers, no Mountain Dew. What kind of game studio is this? In many ways, social gaming startup KANO/APPS is a poster child for Victoria's burgeoning technology industry. Created by a quartet of University of Victoria grads, the company has grown to twenty employees in six years, and has begun building a small empire in online games."We started in October 2008, and it was basically the four of us working out of Eric's or Eric's condos," co-founder Tim Teh says with a laugh. Co-founders Eric Haight and Eric Alpini sit beside him at the table along with Tim's brother and KANO UI Designer Edmund Teh. We've ducked out of their office on Herald St. for lunch at the Victoria Public Market: porchetta and pork bowls from Roast and Americanos from 2% Jazz. High-class stuff, because as it turns out, it's not just Napoleon's armies that march on their stomachs."When we started KANO/APPS, most of the gaming activity was based in San Francisco, the bay area, that's where all the startups were and that's still where the majority of startups are popping up," says Tim. But like many of their later contemporaries, the founders knew there was a lot to appreciate about Victoria. The fact that they all grew up in town and attended UVic together didn't hurt. "As soon as we knew we could make money here, we were like, we're not moving, we're setting up shop and a lot of the reason is because of what we have available to us." Victoria's combination of urban city lifestyle and natural beauty has a lot of allure for KANO's roster of hikers and kayakers, and a strong community of local producers and chefs is another draw. "We try to create a company that has a good work life balance, and culture is super important to us and when it comes to culture and socializing food is a really big part of that."KANO's founders certainly put their money, and by extension Victoria's local food, where their mouths are. Beyond their lunchtime excursions, KANO's office-wide seminars and events like Hack Day are fully catered from spots like Shizen Sushi and The London Chef. The founders also make their own food at home; Eric Haight orders groceries from SPUD, Tim is eating fewer grains and more local vegetables, and Eric Alpini cooks with his vegetarian girlfriend.KANO staffers are also regulars at Victoria's craft breweries thanks in part to the weekly Beer Friday. "We go usually to Swans or Phillips; a bunch of the guys have growlers that they fill up and come back," says Tim. "And coffee, craft beer and coffee, you can't beat it." Bean Around The World's Black Dragon Organic is the office staple, but it's not uncommon to see imports from Drumroaster or Blue Bottle. "Whenever people go on business trips they usually come back with coffee to stock the espresso machine, and obviously we have Union Pacific below us which a lot of people go to. There's no shortage of great stuff."Tim believes Victoria's supportive government, developer community, and great food (among other things) make it an ideal home for tech companies, and he doesn't see growth tapering off anytime soon. Great companies attract valuable people from far and wide, and the local talent is top shelf too. "I would put any engineer coming out of UVic or Camosun against any engineer coming out of Silicon Valley. Talent here is really great."Game development isn't just about engineers, either — there's art, interface design, writing and much more involved. "Victoria is really a city of makers and creative people… People aren't afraid to try different things and they show that creativity in the work that they do, and the type of people that we find here are very entrepreneurial; it's people that want to work on cool projects and make a difference." As long as they're well-fed, of course.KANO/APPS Founders FavouritesWhen Your Parents VisitTim Teh: Il TerrazzoEdmund Teh: 10 AcresEric Alpini: "Zambri's, actually they like Prima Strada a lot."Eric Haight: "Yeah, that's where I've been taking my parents, Prima Strada in Cook Street, less busy and closer to where I live."Date NightEric Alpini: Brasserie L'école, Ebizo SushiEdmund Teh: "Ulla Restaurant, Ebizo is probably my favourite sushi place."Tim Teh: "Zambri's, or we hit The Mint for drinks sometimes too, there's just endless choices."Eric Haight: "Past couple dates I've gone to Stage because it's walking distance, so you don't have to worry about driving. Little Jumbo sometimes as well."Weekend BrunchEdmund Teh: "Relish. I also like going to the Moss Street Market and Fol Epi."Eric Alpini: "The Village in Estevan Village. Went to Jam Café a few times but the lineup is often so long."Tim Teh: "Relish is right by my place, so I like to hit there. Tre Fantastico, Zambri's. Jam is good, Mo:Lé is good."Contact Info: KANOS/APPS 539 Herald St Victoria BC, V8W 1S5 (250) 590-5266 Website: KANO/APPS Twitter: @kanoapps Facebook: kanoapps Instagram: @kanoapps SHARE VIA: Facebook Twitter Pinterest Written By: Sol Kauffman Vancouver-born photographer, writer and designer Sol Kauffman has had his hands dirty in restaurant kitchens for years, washing dishes and slinging pizzas.

Giving to the Meditation by Thanissaro Bhikkhu (long post)
Expand Messages
- "A recurring theme in the Buddha's teachings is that everything you need for happiness, for true happiness, you already have. It's simply a matter of developing it. The word for meditation, bhavana, literally means development. You take what you've got, and nourish it so that it grows.
So it's good to take stock at the beginning of the meditation: What are you bringing to the meditation? You may be bringing a day full of scattered thoughts, worries about this, that, the other thing, and as you focus on the negative things you're bringing to the meditation it makes it difficult. Focus on the positive things: You've got a body; you've got the breath; you've got a certain amount of mindfulness, a certain amount of alertness. If you didn't have these things you'd be dead or crazy. So you've got the raw materials you need. So remind yourself everything you need is right here. It's simply a matter of bringing it all together and putting some effort into it to keep them together.
Your willingness to give the effort is important, because along with the Buddha's teaching on the fact that you already have what you need for happiness, you find the very basic role he gives to generosity to the act of giving. His explanation of right view on the mundane level starts with giving, that giving really is a good thing. It's a virtue. When he was going to teach people about the Four Noble Truths he would start out by talking about giving and then work his way up from there.
When you think about giving, you realize it's what you're bringing into any particular situation. If it's a relationship with another person, what you give that other person that's what you bring into the situation. It reminds you that you have more than enough. If you constantly focus on what you lack, it's like you're burning a hole in your mind, and that hole has teeth. You're constantly wanting to gobble this down, gobble that down. But if you focus on what you've got that you're able to give, it creates a very different attitude for you to bring to the meditation. A person who's able to give is a person who's already in a position of wealth, even if it's a little tiny thing that you have to give: You have more than enough; you can share.
And the same with the meditation. When you sit here and meditate it's not simply a matter of sitting here and waiting for the show to begin or for someone to come and entertain you. It's a matter of your putting yourself into the meditation, giving yourself to the meditation: That's going to make all the difference. You find sometimes when you sit down that you put a little effort into it and the results are right there. Other times, though, it's going to take quite a while before you even notice the results. It's not the fact that the results are not there, but often other things are getting in the way so you don't see them.
So, trust in the process, and //give yourself// to the process. Be aware of the breath. Keep reminding yourself to stay with the breath. That act of mindfulness is important: Every time you breathe in, every time you breathe out remind yourself, "This is where you want to be; this is where you want to stay." And if you find that you've forgotten, that you've wandered off someplace else, well, remind yourself again.
And then come back and be as alert to the breath as possible: How does it feel? Where do you feel the breath? Try to put aside whatever notions you have about how the breath //should// feel or //where// you should feel the breath, and try to be sensitive to how you actually feel. Where are the sensations that let you know now the breath is coming in, now the breath is going out? And what's the quality of those sensations? Is it comfortable? Are you putting pressure on it? If you are, step back a little bit. Allow the sensations to have a fullness of their own without your having to squeeze them in a particular direction. Think of all the cells in your body as being full, and then notice how the process of breathing changes as you think of the body in different ways.
If you bring an attitude of wealth to the meditation, an attitude of contentment to the meditation, you find it a lot easier to put up with the problems that you're going to encounter: the fact that you're going to forget and wander off and think about what you were doing last night or what you're planning to do tomorrow or whatever. When that happens, you can just bring yourself right back. And because you're not desperate and because you're not feeling impoverished you don't have to browbeat yourself over it. Just come back and pick up the job, pick up the work and keep with it.
And you're also in a much better position to notice what's going on. The insights people have in the course of their meditation when they're feeling desperate are not especially reliable insights. You're grasping at //whatever// comes your way: Whatever seems to make sense, whatever seems to work right now in the split second you grasp at it. But there's no guarantee that the insight's going to be trustworthy or reliable. It's much more reliable when you come to it with a sense of well being and you notice, "Oh, I'm adding this unnecessary stress here. I'm creating this unnecessary problem." When you see that it's unnecessary, when you see that it's a problem, you can let it go because you have that sense of well being with which to compare.
So always try to bring an attitude of generosity, an attitude of wealth, an attitude of well being to the meditation. We talk about meditating to gain a sense of well being, but it's like investing in a business: You're not going to get any profit unless you have something to invest. And remind yourself you //do have// what you need: You've got the breath. You've got a mind. You've got these qualities of mindfulness, alertness, concentration, discernment. They're all there in an inchoate form. You've got the seeds for these things. The meditation is simply an opportunity to allow them to grow and to flourish, so that the seeds of well being that you already have will have the opportunity to show exactly how far they can go.
So try to be conscious of that wealth that you're bringing to the meditation, because that's what we're trying to develop. It's not that concentration will appear out of nothing, or well being will appear out of nothing. It comes from learning how to tend to the seeds, how to tend to the little sprouts you already have. So be willing to give of the effort that's required, and ultimately you'll find that the results are more than worth the effort."

Gold Key
featuring "The Evil Ark of Dr. Noel!",
scripted (per GCD credit) by Herb Castle and drawn by Magnus creator Russ Manning, with assistance from Mike Royer.
This story has been reprinted several times, including in the Gold Key MAGNUS #34 Feb. 1973, which is the version I'm using to review it, and in Valiant Comics' VINTAGE MAGNUS series issue #3. The most recent and accessible reprint is in volume 2 of Dark Horse Comics' MAGNUS hardcover archive series.
Review by Bill Henley
A couple of reviews back when I was covering METAL MEN #8 and 9, I mentioned it was a curiosity that two well remembered Silver Age comics series both featured protagonists named Magnus who were closely involved with robots; but that while Robert Kanigherr's METAL MEN tended to treat robots other than the Metal Men themselves as mindlessly rampaging antagonists, Russ Manning's MAGNUS ROBOT FIGHTER actually took a much more thoughtful science-fictional approach as to how robots might function in a human society and what might lead humans to fight robots. This story is an example of that approach. On the painted cover (credited in the GCD to George Wilson) , Magnus is in flight over the surface of the sun (eschewing anything as wimpy as a spacesuit, though he has some sort of protective aura), while a spaceship is crashing into the sun, and an ethereal face of girlfriend Leeja appears against the background of space. "Leeja's telepathic cry for help causes Magnus to risk the sun's fiery destruction as he attacks THE EVIL ARK OF DR. NOEL!"
As the story begins, Leeja Clane is rudely awakened from a nap by a robot who seizes and kidnaps her. A nearby robot servant protests, "Stop! Robots-must-not-harm-humans! It-is-robotic-law!" but otherwise is unable to do anything except to appeal for orders from a human. As Leeja is borne away by her robot captor in a small spacecraft, her father, Senator Clane, calls for aid from the "pol-robs" (robot police) and the Space Patrol. But pursuit is unavailling, for, to her horror, Leeja's captor announces he is setting course for "sub-space" (defined in a footnote as "space outside our normal four dimensions-- where many of the normal laws of nature do not apply!") Moreover, the snatching of Leeja is just one more in a series of similar recent kidnappings. As Senator Clane heads to raise the alarm at a meeting of North Am's Council, we see that the Council is already playing host to a confrontation between two striking figures; Magnus, our hero, and Dr. Laszlo Noel, a bushy-bearded anti-robot firebrand. He shares Magnus's view that overdependence on robots has made humanity weak, but his radicalism makes even Magnus himself seem "soft on robots" in comparison. Noel demands, "All of them (the robots) should be destroyed!" But Magnus demurs, saying, "I agree with you in part, Dr. Noel,... but all of the robots should NOT be destroyed! Robots are of use to mankind, but there should be fewer of them! We should do many of the things they do for us, before we become completely dependent on them!" The listening council members scoff at both men; "We should have MORE robots, not fewer!" The angry Noel stalks out, warning, "You've had your last chance to listen to ME!" Before the meeting can proceed further, Sen. Clane rushes in shouting about Leeja's kidnapping. Magnus is shocked, somewhat chauviinistically protesting, "But the others who vanished were experts...scientists! Leeja is only a girl! I don't understand!" One who understands all too well is Dr. Noel, who thinks, "Only I know the reason...as I leave this robot-infested Earth!"
Joining the search for Leeja, Magnus deduces that the small craft in which Leeja was taken cannot remain long in sub-space, without rendezvousing with a larger spaceship in normal space; so the task is to find that hidden mother ship. Meanwhile, Leeja is ushered into the ship in question and discovers the other kidnapped scientists, unconscious in giant test tubes. She also notices that the interior temperature of the spaceship is exceptionally warm. The ship is crewed by robots, but Leeja demands to speak to a human and is pushed into "the master's cabin" to wait for his return. It occurs to her that she may be able to contact Magnus telepathically "in the way M'Ree (a human psychic who appeared in previous stories) has been training me!" She reaches Magnus, but befopre she can impart more information than that she has found the kidnap victims and that the spaceship is hot, she is interrupted by the arrival of the "master"-- Dr. Noel. Noel explains that Leeja and the others have been chosen for the "privilege" of helping him build a robot-free world "a thousand galaxies away" from Earth. Ironically, however, having no voluntary human followers Noel is forced to use robots to crew his "ark", and this may lead to disaster as, lacking initiative, the robots are having trouble keeping the ship from drifting into the nearby sun. "My life's work threatened by a brainless metal scarecrow! It will give me great pleasure when I can junk you and all the other robots aboard!", Noel growls as he takes the controls himself.
Meanwhile, even though the telepathic transmission from Leeja was cut off, Magnus has gained from Leej'as mention of abnormal heat the vital clue to deduce where she is; in a ship hidden close and just beyond the sun, the only place the solar system's vast network of scanners and patrols cannot reach. Boarding a small spacecraft, Magnus orders the "pilot-rob" to accelerate to its limits, brushing off the warning that the "grav-forces" will crush him; "I can take it! I MUST!" And so, "Magnus strains every superbly-trained muscle to counter the crushing gravities of acceleration as the craft reaches three-quarters of the speed of light!" (Uh, Magnus, I really think at that kind of acceleration your superbly trained muscles and all the rest of you would end up being a very thin jelly on the walls of the spaceship....) As Magnus's ship reaches Leeja's location, he finds Noel's ark is orbiting within five million miles of the sun, too close for safety either for it or for Magnus's own smaller craft. As his ship and its hapless pilot-rob descends toward the sun's surface, Magnus ejects in a desperate effort to reach the other ship; "My force-shield power unit will last two minutes-- at most!" With no time to spare, our hero reaches an entry port to Noel's ship, breaks in with an "atomic torch", and reseals the airlock just as his oxygen supply runs out.
Nearly exhausted by the stress of acceleration and deceleration followed by the grueling space walk, Magnus nonetheless gamely sets out to find and rescue Leeja and the other kidnap victims. The "secret robot speech-receptor" in his skull alerts him that the presence of an intruder has been detected and robots have been sent to capture him. He manages to wreck several of them with his standard move of a karate chop to the vulnerable robotic neck, but "ship-robs aren't fighters, but too many...too many...." and at last Magnus is subdued and dragged into the presence of the ship's master, Dr. Noel. Magnus snaps, "I might have guessed your talk against robots was only pretense!", but Noel denies this; "I will destroy all these in my ark after they have served my purpose!" And what is that purpose? To travel a hundred Earth-years' journey away, in suspended animation, till they reach a world "beyond the Andromeda galaxy". "Earth has grown soft and weak! It rejected my plea to get rid of robots! Now I reject Earth! Soon I will build a new society...peopled only by those I have carefully chosen (including Leeja, who he has chosen as his wife without consulting her) where there will be NO robots!" When Magnus protests again that "properly used robots DO have a place in our civilization", Noel sneers that they are "vile imitations of man! Counterfeits!"
But Noel's dependence on these "counterfeits", however temporary, is a deadly weakness to his plan, as his incompetent robot pilots again threaten to send his ship into a "drift trajectory" into the sun before he can launch it on his interstellar voyage. Magnus is further shocked to learn that if he does escape the solar system, Noel intends to leave his ship entirely in the hands of the robots as Noel, Leeja, and the rest of the humans aboard go into suspended animation. "But robots can't think, can't react! Any slight accident can destroy everybody aboard!" Unmoved by this warning, Noel vows to proceed with his plan, and moreover comes up with a fiendish punishment for Magnus's interference. The Robot Fighter will be locked in a cell, fed and kept alive by the robot crew, but not put into "deep sleep" for the hundred-year journey. "You will grow OLD, WHITE-HAIRED.... Leeja and I will sleep! We will not be a day older when we arrive at my new world! But YOU will be dead and forgotten!"
As the robots drag him off toward this terrible fate, Magnus tries a last stratagem on the robots, counting on their inability to "react to the unexpected". He pretends to fall down from weakness and then, when the robots drag him, rises up and smashes them before they can report back to Noel. Meanwhile, Noel prepares to force Leeja to swallow the suspended animation serum; "This must be the end of all that Magnus and I planned together! Oh, Magnus...." But Magnus is still trying to come to the rescue, despite the still-increasing heat aboard the ship and a sudden tilt of the decks. Is our hero feverish and dizzy in his weakness? No; the ship really is tilting as the robot pilot warns, "Ship-is-losing-gyro-spin! Strong-trajectory-drift-beginning!" For the moment, this is a good thing for Leeja as Noel falls and spills the deep sleep serum. But all of them will receive a "warm welcome" from the sun (to steal a line from Dr. Doom) unless Magnus can reach the control room and take matters in hand. Noel is still determined to launch his journey into sub-space, despite Magnus's warning, when he does reach the control room, that "we've gotten too near the sun! To start the shift magnetics against the sun's gravity NOW would tear us apart!" Instead, Magnus urges, Noel must activate the ship's "repellers", to move away from the sun. But Noel refuses to abandon his master plan, and he orders his robots to stop Magnus from interfering. "For Leeja...for those sleeping in that compartment.... I must try one more time!" He manages to defeat the last remaining robot, but not before Noel has hit the switch to shift into sub-space-- and, as Magnus warned, the vibration of the shift begins to tear the ship apart. Seizing the controls, Magnus tries to reverse the thrust and activate the repellers; "I'll try to save the ship, Dr. Noel-- but not for your sake!" As the vibrations cease and the ship begins to pull away from the sun, Magnus tells Leeja, "All we can do (now) is pray!" Their prayers are answered, as Noel's ship escapes the sun's pull, and they rendezvous with a Space Patrol cruiser that has been following Magnus. As Noel is dragged away by "pol-robs," Leeja wonders what will happen to him, and Magnus predicts, "Banishment, probably...to some asteroid where he can cause no more trouble!" (Fat chance, Magnus; Noel made several more trouble-making appearances in later issues, one of which I may review at a later date.) Of Noel, Magnus says, "He is wrong in thinking all robots should be destroyed! We can learn to live with them without losing our own strength!" And an adoring Leeja agrees, "Yes, Magnus-- with your help, North Am stands the best chance of staying independent-- where men are free!"
Comic book supehero stories, especially up to and including the Silver Age, tend to see conflicts in very stark and uncomplicated Good vs. Evil terms. MAGNUS was somewhat of an exception to this rule, particularly with this story, in which the "bad guy" is, in a way, on the same side as the hero, but Noel's radicalism and fanaticism make him as much of a threat as any enemy who believes in robot domination of humanity.
The original MAGNUS #13 features a four-page "Aliens" tale by Manning titled "Day of the Nightmare!"; unfortunately, since I don't have the original issue, I don't have this story handy to include in this review.

oil on canvas, 71 inches by 83 inchess
Mankato, MN
My artwork of the last several years has concentrated on genre. Rather than think of my painting as being an attempt to unify different subjects and stylistic approaches into one image, I have decided to explore multiple genres. This shift in my thinking allows me the freedom to use painting as a statement beyond my personal considerations. The genres I am focusing on are portraiture, landscape, still life, religious iconography and abstraction. Through this approach I am challenging authorship, originality and artistic autonomy.
My Memory of Water paintings began on an island off the coast of Maine. For the month of September in 2012, the Helliker-LaHotan Foundation invited me, to a residency on the Great Cranberry Island. I worked alone in a studio by a tidal bay. I watched the tides go up and go down. I took naps and I painted. I emerged from that dream-like experience creating what I call my Memory of Water paintings. My intent is to evoke our multiple associations with water, not just represent what water looks like. In doing this I hope to suggest primal memories, memories that exist beyond conscious, rational thought; or maybe memories that exist in dreams or half waking moments of recollection.
My large-scale pet portraits express empathy, connection and love. I have a Facebook group called "I Love YOUR Cat! I Love YOUR Dog!" In this group I invite people to submit photos of their beloved pet cats or dogs. This has become a repository of imagery that I utilize to create these paintings. So the paintings are photos taken by the person that belongs to the pet. This is important because the photograph indicates aspects of that human/animal relationship. Proximity to the subject, camera angle, the gaze of the pet, and the location of the photo are all indicators of this relationship.
It is my intent to place you the viewer in between the loving empathetic gaze of pet and human.

ISSUE IS RESOLVED! Carry on as normal!
For anyone trying to import my WeakAuras from WAGO.io there is an issue with not only mine but a number of author's pages that has no option for importing, etc.
This issue has been reported and should hopefully be fixed soon. I appreciate your patience while this gets worked out! Unfortunately I won't be uploading all my strings to Pastebin or anything else for now since I have many strings, etc. If it doesn't get resolved there are other alternatives I'll look into.

bond. (a nail lounge)
As anyone who's gotten a mani-pedi with their girlfriends knows, it's hardly just about getting your nails done. It's a chance to catch up, to laugh, to sip champagne—in other words, it's a chance to bond. And gals all over Vegas are lining up to get in some girl time at bond., thanks to a roster of talented artists.
Their specialty is keeping up with the latest trends in nail art. Not surprisingly, then, bond.'s Instagram feed is a seemingly never-ending scroll of intricate designs in which red polish seamlessly fades into black, lace patterns sparkle with mini crystals, and hand-painted snowflakes shimmer like the real thing. They also experiment with different shapes, ranging from subtly rounded to square to dramatic points, which come in handy when you need a skeleton key.

The Grandma Name Hunt
The amazing Jenny Hansen gave me some assistance on The Grandma Project this week. I got a fun, short list of Grandma names to try out on the babies:
- Gamby
- Nana
- Mamaw
- Gammy
- Meemaw
- Amma
But it's probably a little soon to see how the babies (they arrived safely and have names!) like them…This book was one of my son's favorite books. In my day, all I got was seeing Dick and Jane run. Then stop. Then run some more. Sigh.
Best Board Books for Babies?
Because I love books, you know I'll be getting the babies some books. I do realize they will need to start with board books, so that's the next part of my Grandma Project. I did a Google search and came up with some promising titles, but let's face it, the toughest critics are the babies (see above if you doubt me).
Here's my top five contenders for the Grandma Project:
- Goodnight Moon (it made almost every listI looked at)
- Moo Baa La La La (I could easily fill this list and several more with Sandra Boynton, because I love her books. I also love reading them, but do the kids love them?)
- Olivia (this gets high praise here.)
- Trains Go (Because we got a boy in there and his dad loved trains and trucks. Found this book here.)
- The Pigeon Loves Things That Go (because I'm kind of dark that way and apparently, this place is, too.)
Obviously this isn't a final list, because I want to hear from you. And I'm ready to start reading to those darling babies yesterday. So, peeps? What needs to be added? Anything need to go? What do you think of the Grandma names? Should I start training them to call me one or wait to see what they come up with for me?
All comments are entered into my monthly drawing for $10 AnaBanana gift card. Winner is announced in the first blog post of the new month.
Perilously (and deliriously happily) yours,
When I'm not grinning like an idiot about the babies, I'm editing my upcoming release, Relatively Risky, my first romantic suspense novel in five years! I posted the first excerpt on my website at paulinebjones.com

I started this place for people I know, wether IRL or online, to get together and talk about writing in kind of an intimate way. You know, to be among friends. Hence the moderated membership.

If you know someone who is a member (IE, you're a friend of a friend), email me and tell me who it is that you know, and tell me a bit about yourself. If you have a journal that's heavily friendslocked, please friend me so I can read your posts and get a feel for who you are.

If you wandered into this community randomly, please email me and tell me how you found it, and tell me a bit about yourself. Also, please add me to your LJ so I can read your journal and get a feel for who you are.

Also, if existing members think I should just throw open membership on here, let me know and I'll do so.

 Quick re-introduction. I'm a 29-year-old geeky bartender working on a story called "The Con Job." This is the story of one Kit Marlowe (dad was a literature freak. He has a sister named Jamie-Joyce), a twenty-something noir geek who uncovers the seedy underworld of geekdom at a major comic-book convention. After the author of a popular series of fantasy novels falls several stories from his hotel room to his death Kit suspects foul play, convinces the higher-ups that he's an actual PI and is hired to discover the truth about what really happened.I'm really excited about his one but have run into a small snag...

After much planning I don't think I can write my story in 50,000 words. I plotted and planned and organized and began work on my chapter breakdown spreadsheet and found that I'm going to need at least 90k to make this story work the way I want it to.

 So I'm going lofty this year. I'm aiming for 100k.

 I'm really happy with the way the outline looks, though. I'm more organized that I was last year so this should be doable.

The Mouths of Wolves

The Cutglass family had settled in the area a few years before the town was formally recognized as a town. One of the first orders of business by that newly fledged town council was to formally grant 40 square miles of land to the family to be owned in perpetuity by the family, tax free, in exchange for "services rendered." Although it wasn't recorded what services were rendered, the townspeople all knew, just like they knew that a train used to come all the way from Chicago to their town, and that Al Capone had owned a summer house on the river, and that Dale Everett had installed the first flush toilet in town. The first winters were bad, too cold to snow, with raging winds that had swept through ripping up trees and tearing shingles off of houses, after springs that had been too wet and summers that had been too dry. Crops grew poorly, if at all, and much of the livestock were slaughtered because the farmers couldn't afford to feed them. Those early winters, the wolves had been bad, creeping ever closer, snatching livestock. In the cold and the dark, with empty bellies, the wolves had gotten over bold. And with dwindling and better-guarded livestock, they had resorted to hunting down children.

The Cutglass family, everyone knew, were werewolves. They prowled around at night, howling, and their animals were untouched. The other farmers were desperate and pleaded with them for protection. They didn't know if the Cutglasses would listen to them, or if they'd side with the wolves against the townsfolk. The family listened, nodded quietly, and named their terms. A few days later, all the wolves were gone, and a few days after that it commenced snowing. Six feet total of snow fell that winter, records say, and there was never as cold or dry a winter since. The wolves never came back, either. There was subdued discussion about what happened to them, but it was a few generations before anyone asked a member of the Cutglass family, who'd responded with a half smile that they'd simply gone out and staked their territory. As the biggest, baddest thing out there, they had claim to it all. The wolves just pulled up and left for less threatening ground, and the town had kept their promise to the family ever since.

The entire town knew the family were werewolves, despite the fact that people rarely spoke about it. When you grow up with something like that, when you grow up knowing something like that, it's unsurprising and not newsworthy at all. The further away from the Cutglass house, the less and less people knew about them. It wasn't a secret, but people didn't talk about it.

Harris Cutglass woke up, slightly surprised that despite the fact that he'd been very much alone when he went to bed the night before, he now had several warm bodies snuggled up against him. He crept out of bed, careful not to disturb his snoring slumbermates, and gently tucked them in. Finny stirred gently, smacked his lips, and farted. Harris beat it out of the room, down to the kitchen to put together some breakfast. Someone was already down there, clanking around and running water and dropping pots janglingly. Harris stuck his head around the door and looked in.

"Lidia! When did you get in?"

The early riser was a tall, slender young woman with dark blonde hair pulled into a messy ponytail. She was still dressed for bed, in faded pyjama pants printed with clouds and rainbows, and an overlarge t-shirt with a credit card's logo on it.

"Got in last night. You were already asleep, lazy. Must be getting' old, huh?"

She moved around the kitchen with a comfortable familiarity, easily finding things. She was in the midst of making pancakes. Apples hissed as they fried in butter and maple syrup on a back burner, and the homey smells of breakfast wafted playfully about.

"Oh, yeah, just call me gramps."

He caught her up in a one-armed hug and kissed the top of her head.

"We missed you, girly. What're you doing slumming in the frozen north again?"

Lidia returned the one-armed hug, scratching his back with neatly-filed nails. He grimaced in glee at the backscratching.

"Checking out local colleges. I'm going back for a PhD in Psychology."

"You always were the brains of this operation. It's good to have you here again."

She gave him a final squeeze and then separated, flipping over the golden pancakes. Harris watched her for a half minute or so, leaning against the island in the middle of the bright kitchen. He ran his fingers through his dark hair and yawned.

"You gonna be staying in the house with us?"

He pushed himself off the island and started clearing up, putting away the flour and wiping up spills. Lidia nodded.

"Most likely. It'd be a lot cheaper that way, and easier. I wouldn't have to worry about finding a laundermat at 2am, or grocery shopping. And I miss you guys. If I go to school out here, I might as well stay with people I love. Could you get the sausages out of the fridge?"
"Yea, sure."

Harris sauntered over to the fridge, hung thick with crayoned artwork and graded papers, and swung the door open.

"Tomas got an apartment, you know. I mean, we see him all the time. He's over here constantly eating or doing his laundry or watching tv with us. But then he goes off to his shitty little apartment, all alone." His tone was accusing, hurt.

"Oh, stop whining. He's young, he wants the big adventure of living on his own with the safety of having you all handy to catch him if he falls. Would you rather he ran off to, say, Florida or something?" She licked a bit of pancake batter off the inside of her wrist.

"Whatever."

He rummaged out the sausages and brought them over to the island.

"He's not like you, Harris. Don't expect him to be. You'll only be disappointed. Just love him for who he is."

Harris cut open the packages of sausages and squirted them out onto a plate.

"It's just weird, you know, not having him here. It's almost worse that he visits all the time, because I get used to having him around again, and then I turn around and he's not here any more."

He took the plate over to the stove and tipped the sausages into the frying pan full of apples and syrup. They hissed and sizzled and spat and released their smell and juices.

"Oh, Harris, you big softy. You're such a dork. Have you visited him at all?"

He shook his head and went back to the island, picking up eggshells.

"No. He hasn't invited anyone. I don't want to intrude. He's always been weird about privacy."

He snorted.

"Actually, I can kind of sympathize with him. You know, I woke up this morning with Finny, Jeremy, and Adanna in bed with me? Just all curled up around me, a pile of kid flesh. Weird. They haven't done that in years."

"Oh, God." Lidia rolled her eyes.

"They were up when I got in last night, watching scary movies on cable. I bet they were freaked out, too scared to sleep alone. So they crawled into bed with their big, fluffy, security Harris."

"Yea, ok, I'll admit. That made me think about getting my own place. Or a lock on the door. Can I not get some privacy from small children? What if I'd had, you know, a special guest?"

"They'd have crawled on in anyway, Harris. They are shameless."

Harris laughed.
The Cutglass home was a rambling one, built up over time to accommodate the swelling of the family. Most of the work was amateur, so the floors weren't all level and the corners weren't all 90 degrees. Last year they'd had a plumber come out and fix all the pipes, and the year before that they'd had an electrician in to get all the wiring up to code. It was a snug house, full of the songs and smells and memories of everyone who'd ever lived there, and it was Home. Currently, it housed Harris, his father Salus, his brother James, James' wife Jean, their daughter Adanna, Harris' sister in law Lilybet, and her sons Finny and Jeremy. Lidia had moved out a few years ago to be with a man she later broke up with, but had stayed in sunny Florida despite his absence. Niall and Orn were in school in Colorado, Tomas was living in a studio apartment a town over, and Bryony had gone to apprentice with the Cullain branch of the family, who were morticians in Indiana. Harris stalked around the house, lonely and grumbling, until Sal put him to work caulking the windows or mowing the grass or ripping out the carpet in the guest room that smelled fusty, or some other bit of labor. One of Sal's favorite sayings was "If you have time to complain you're not doing enough." Tomas cited this as inspiration for moving out.

The family dynamic was fluid. People moved out and in again and left and came back. Kids came for the summer and ran around screaming and getting sunburned and hunted for snakes that they never found and then went back home. People came for Christmas and for Thanksgiving, bringing their rootless friends with them. When Frederick died, Jean and her baby girl moved into the house, and it became very much their home. Harris loved his family with a fierce intensity and was quick to make everyone under his roof feel welcomed. All the kids were his kids, all the adults were his siblings, and when people moved out he took it as a personal affront. This affront was forgotten, of course, almost the moment they came back. And so Lidia, who'd run away from the family, was welcomed back to her home and the kitchen with no questions asked and only a little bit of guilt.

"It's really good to have you back, Lidia."

"It's good to be back, Harris. I missed you guys."

"Missed us, huh? Not too much, apparently. You didn't come home for Thanksgiving."

"Darling, I was home for Thanksgiving. Just not this home. I had a bunch of friends over and we made a turkey and pie and everything else. It was a good time. And I did call you and talk to everyone. Stop looking so hurt, and set the table. I hear little feet on the stairs." urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nanonerds:694 Writing Styles 2005-11-02T18:51:50Z 2005-11-03T16:12:05Z I like to start at the beginning of a story and barrel through to the end. mhoram100 writes scenes and then strings them together.

"The Mouths of Wolves," and I'm fleshing out the interactions and relationships of the main family. I need to do a bit of research in land use around Chicago, or else just make something up entirely. I'm not sure which I'll do.

I've got 1772 words done, and it's kind of like swimming through molasses, but I'm pushing on. How's everyone else doing?
