When it comes to politics and government on the Internet, it's the Democrats' Web—the GOP just browses it, right? From Howard Dean's campaign pioneering online fundraising to candidate-then-President Obama's team's top-to-bottom integration of the Web, the conventional thinking is that the left has lapped Republicans in the race to digital dominance. As many of you reading this may know, this perception is hardly the true picture, particularly in Congress. In fact, when I go into work every day, I see a very different story unfolding.
Significantly outnumbered and looking for new, more efficient ways to engage the American public, the current minority party in Congress has moved aggressively into the social media space to not only promote their message but also shine more light on the workings of the majority's activities. This creative use of the Web to circumvent traditional channels and deliver a clear, unfiltered message to the American people is the hallmark of what has been dubbed entrepreneurial insurgency.
The term itself was coined by Republican Policy Committee Chairman Rep. Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan at an elected leadership retreat in January 2009. A major theme of that retreat was how to communicate more effectively using emerging and established social media tools. While there, members of Congress and staff members exchanged ideas and previous experiences in using the Web on their campaigns or in an official capacity. As we spoke, we found that nearly everyone had some personal experience in social media (many of us were surprised to find that my boss, John Boehner, had been quietly maintaining his own personal Facebook page), and everyone had unique stories of how it had helped them connect with family, friends, and constituents.
While this certainly wasn't the first time House Republicans discussed putting more focus on the Web, I believe this was a turning point in how the new media piece fits into the larger messaging puzzle. It was about this time when it was decided that our digital outreach was going to be a consideration in every major effort that we would undertake. Far from an afterthought or simply the domain of the "tech guys," an aggressive engagement online was not only going to help us tell the story, sometimes it would be the story itself.
It was also about this time that we began to see some very interesting things happening in terms of who was using social media in Congress. This chapter discusses Twitter and YouTube in Congress and how they fit into the larger push for increased transparency in government. That's not to say that these are the only tools being used. Thankfully, due to some recent rule changes (more on that in a bit), it is now permissible for representatives to publish official content nearly anywhere on the Web, providing that the content itself conforms to established regulations prohibiting fundraising, overtly political language, and other nonofficial activities. Members have taken full advantage of this opportunity and have been experimenting with everything from mobile streaming video to SMS text with great success.
So, some of you may have heard of Twitter. I say that with more than a little tongue-in-cheek sarcasm, as you'd be hard-pressed to turn on your television or computer or walk down the street without hearing multiple pleas from news anchors, celebrities, musicians, and your friends and neighbors to "follow" them on the trendy microblogging service. For a technology that in many ways subverts the traditional media, the media has an undeniable love affair with Twitter, twitterers, and tweets. Oprah is on Twitter, my dad joined Twitter, and…the U.S. House cafeteria is on Twitter? If you're anything like me (and by me I mean @nickschaper), you may be suffering from occasional bouts of Twitter-publicity fatigue.
Not to worry, I won't be bothering you with yet another description of Twitter. What I do want to explore is a phenomenon that has gone largely unnoticed to those outside the beltway new media world: far more Republican members of Congress are using Twitter than Democrats. Not exactly an earth-shaking revelation in and of itself, but the fact remains that one of the newer, shinier tools in the new media shed is solidly the domain of the GOP in Congress. Figure 16-1, from TweetCongress.org, depicts the number of Republican and Democrat users in the U.S. House and Senate. As you can see, Republicans outnumber Democrats on Twitter by more than 2 to 1. (For more on Tweet Congress, see Chapter 15.)
The minority has taken to Twitter because it exemplifies the entrepreneurial insurgent mindset. As a simple tool that has the power to not only reach thousands, but also receive their feedback and quickly judge public sentiment, Twitter is a powerful device. Using Tweetreach.com I recently observed the spread of a tweet sent from Leader Boehner (@gopleader); see Figure 16-2. The tweet itself was simply highlighting a Politico article noting the party disparity on Twitter I've described. In less than a matter of minutes, Tweetreach estimated more than 60,000 impressions of the link we transmitted to our modest list of 7,000 or so followers. Not too bad for fewer than 140 keystrokes.
"So what?" many will say. So Republicans figured out how to use Twitter, big deal. They've got only a few thousand followers anyway, and are they even tweeting themselves? Because as so many in the twittering class will tell you, if a politician isn't sending his own tweets, reviewing all his replies, following all his followers, and keeping up with #musicmondays and #followfridays, then he's not doing it right, right? #wrong.[163] Like people all over the world, members on both sides of the aisle are using Twitter in ways that reflect their styles. Some are intensely personal, others just like to share links to what they're reading, and still others have their RSS feeds running the entire operation on autopilot. I reject the notion that there is a right way to use Twitter and other popular social media tools. Certainly, some are more effective than others, and we all surely have much left to learn. But the fact that an institution known best for 200 years of tradition is finding new ways to connect with the electorate should be encouraging to all of us.
So, maybe Twitter is the exception—the talk radio of the new media landscape. By many expert accounts, it might not even be with us in a year or two (as an aside, I'm certain that most who smugly note the company's huge user base and lack of plan to monetize would be quite happy to have such problems). But what if Twitter isn't the only example?
For years now, members of Congress have been posting hours of video to their websites and eventually their YouTube channels. As technology has made video recording and editing more accessible to staff members, multimedia content from floor speeches to news appearances to video podcasts are thankfully now a fixture of most congressional websites. As a free, easily accessible, wildly popular public forum, YouTube was almost immediately a hit in the halls of Congress. That's not to say there weren't some bureaucratic hurdles to overcome before Congress was officially allowed to get their YouTube on. Some of these obstacles may not have been overcome if it weren't for the help of activists around the country.
In July 2008, Congress decided it was time to amend the antiquated regulations that guided members' official communications. As new Internet usage rules were being considered in the House Administration Committee, a leading member of the committee drafted a proposal that had the potential to prohibit nearly everything discussed in this chapter, including YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. Asked by the Speaker of the House to recommend how best to proceed, Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) proposed the creation of an "acceptable" list of websites that would be developed and maintained by members of the committee and their staff. Faced with the prospect of bureaucrats picking winners and losers—while almost certainly stifling innovation by drastically slowing the institution's ability to react to evolving technology—concerned citizens of all political persuasions spoke out on the need for each member to decide for himself how to best communicate with his constituents. Eventually, the committee adopted a decidedly more open policy based on recommendations drafted by committee Republicans (http://www.theopenhouseproject.com/2008/10/03/franking-reform-a-happy-ending/).
With the change in rules and the bipartisan launch of the YouTube House and Senate Hubs, designed specifically as a destination for constituents looking for their elected officials' videos, members are free to chronicle every minute of their day on Capitol Hill (and many do). As more time passes, though, we are beginning to see some very intriguing original content emerge. Members and their staff began to understand that video sharing communities such as YouTube are more than just a depository for floor proceedings and press conferences. Some of the most senior members of the House and Senate brought handheld cameras into their offices and introduced the staff to their constituents and others around the Web by simply pressing the Record button and being themselves. Realizing that social networks are meant to be a discussion, not a speech, representatives put the call out asking their constituents how they could better serve them, or to help by offering their insight on the issues before them in Congress.
Like Twitter, the minority party has come to know YouTube as one of the most effective weapons of the entrepreneurial insurgency. When the content is compelling (and that is no small caveat), YouTube—along with Twitter, Facebook, and others—ensures that many thousands of eyes will see it in minutes. When Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., pressed a Democratic witness on job creation in the proposed stimulus package, the video was seen nearly 100,000 times in a matter of hours. When Republican Whip Eric Cantor asked Americans via YouTube to submit their questions and ideas about how to get the economy going again, the video saw more than 150,000 views and dozens of responses. When Leader Boehner, furious at having not been allowed to read the 1,200-page stimulus package, threw the bill onto the House floor, the 36-second video spread like wildfire. As I write this, that short video of Boehner has been viewed nearly half a million times.
Encouraged by their success, Republicans have moved quickly to take advantage of advances in low-cost video production software and camera equipment. Creating a for-web video composed of unique content directed at the online community is now a common component of our messaging strategy that has helped to break through some of the noise and deliver a clear message.
In a May 2009 analysis by web video industry watcher TubeMogul Inc., it was shown that congressional Republicans' YouTube channels had nearly 2 million more views than their colleagues in the majority. And while Republicans had uploaded fewer overall videos, their average view count was more than double that of their counterparts (1,572 to 750). That same report found that eight of the top 10 congressional channels on YouTube belonged to Republican members.
Despite the political party, the importance of understanding the power of social media tools—regardless of which one is the most popular at the time—far exceeds the usefulness of each individual device. If we have learned anything over the past 10 years it is that digital media is advancing faster than any one brand (with perhaps one small exception) can anticipate. Technology will continue to evolve, and when it does politicians who cut their teeth on Twitter and Facebook won't miss a beat when the next opportunity to connect with voters and constituents hits the scene.
I don't claim to be unbiased in my appraisal of these recent trends. But it is hard to ignore the success in which a far-outnumbered party has been able to mount a number of very successful offensives. But my feelings won't be hurt if you completely discount everything I've observed here. In fact, especially to my friends on the other side of the aisle, I wouldn't worry much about any of this. Nothing to see here.

Each year brings challenges when you're working with the ever-changing landscape of the California workplace. As expected, 2017 will be no different, with California cities not to be outdone: there is legislation for San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Jose especially that will bring employment law and human resources practitioners to the drawing board. The main topics are familiar: ban-the-box restrictions, paid leave ordinances, and revisions to pay practice requirements.
Ban-the-Box Restrictions
California has a new limitation on requests and consideration of criminal history information. At its basis, the law disallows you from considering any information related to juvenile indiscretions. If you're asking about criminal history, and are in a locality where you are permitted to do so, consider adding this to your questionnaire: "Do not disclose any information related to any arrest, detention, process, diversion, supervision, adjudication, or court disposition that occurred while the person was subject to the process and jurisdiction of juvenile court law."
Los Angeles was active in 2016 and also passed its own expansive ban-the-box legislation. It has two primary components for your consideration: (a) ban-the-box limitations, and (b) the Fair Chance Process.
The limitation are straight-forward and not too different from what is in place elsewhere: do not ask about criminal history until a conditional job offer has been made. There are four exceptions: (1) when you are required by law to run a background check; (2) when the position involves the use or possession of a firearm; (3) when a person convicted of a crime is prohibited by law from the position; or (4) when the employer is prohibited by law from hiring an applicant who has been convicted.
The more expansive part of the L.A. legislation is the "Fair Chance Process." It requires that, if planning to act on the basis of criminal history, an employer take the following steps in addition to what is already required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act:
- Conduct a written assessment linking the conviction-related risks to the position. Explicitly consider Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidance and any guidance issued by the Los Angeles Designated Administrative agency (presumably forthcoming).
- Provide a copy of the assessment and any information (e.g. documentation) relied upon in authoring the assessment or coming to the conclusions contained therein, to the applicant.
- Wait at least five (5) business days before taking any adverse action.
- If the applicant provides any other information related to the criminal history item of concern, conduct a written reassessment explicitly discussing such additional information.
Only after following the "Fair Chance Process" is an employer permitted to take adverse action on the basis of information contained in a criminal background.
Paid Leave Ordinances
Santa Monica added a paid sick leave law, the provisions of which are a medley of what is present in other such ordinances. The accrual minimum is familiar (i.e. 1 hour per 30 hours worked). Employers are divided into two groups: those with 25 or fewer employees, and those with more than 25. For the first group, you may limit paid sick leave accrual to 40 hours per year, whereas the latter group may establish a cap at 72 hours during the same timeframe. Use cannot be capped, and up to the maximum amount may be carried over from year-to-year, without loss. Accrual can be limited or stopped until the employee falls below the limit of paid sick leave hours. This applies to everyone who works at least 2 hours in a "particular workweek" in Santa Monica, and all hotel workers, with exceptions for managerial, supervisory, or confidential employees.
Expecting parents in San Francisco will look forward to the new Paid Parental Leave Ordinance, which provides a "make-whole" supplement to parents who use paid family leave benefits for bonding with a new child. To take advantage of these benefits, the expecting parents must work for an employer with 50 or more employees (nation-wide), and must also perform eight (8) hours of work in any particular workweek in San Francisco, and perform at least 40% of their work in any particular workweek in San Francisco as well.
Also in San Francisco for 2017: the "front-loading," "up-front," or "lump-sum" accrual prohibition for paid sick leave has been limited. If you're interested in allowing front-loading, as under the California model, speak to a qualified California law practitioner.
Pay and Pay Practices
California has a new state-wide minimum wage level: $10.50 (or $10.00 for small employers with 25 or fewer employees). But there are also 21 locales with their own minimum wage levels, ranging as high as $15.20 for large employers (56 or more employees) in Emeryville. Along with the state-wide rise in minimum wage was an accompanying rise in the minimum salary threshold required for most minimum wage and overtime exemptions, to $43,680 per year. Last, note that these increases also accompanied step-wise increases in the credit an employer may take for meals and lodging.
Be especially mindful of meal and rest breaks. The California Supreme Court previously held that meal periods must be given "free of duties" to comply with California state law. See Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Court, 273 P.3d 513 (2012). This rationale was recently extended to rest periods by the California Supreme Court. See Augustus v. ABM Security Services, Inc., 2016 WL 7407 (Cal. S. Ct. 2016), wherein security guards who wore radios and pagers during their breaks were, in the estimation of California's highest court, not sufficiently relieved of duties. In light of this decision, ensure that your supervisors and managers are aware that employees must receive duty-free breaks.
Another California decision elevated the degree of risk an employer assumes when failing to do so. In Lubin v. The Wackenhut Corp., 5 Cal. App. 5th 926 (2016), another group of security guards successfully asserted their right to file many types of meal and break period violations as class action lawsuits.
For a limited number of employers, there may be exceptions when some of your employees (a) perform duties that do not lend themselves to breaks and (b) signed an agreement explicitly allowing for on-duty breaks (but it appears clear that both factors must be satisfied). Such was the case in Driscoll v. Graniterock Co., 2016 WL 6994923 (Cal. Ct. App. 2016), where concrete mixer drivers signed on-duty break agreements and performed duties which required them to monitor and mix concrete at regular intervals throughout the workday.
Good news when showing the hours worked for your exempt employees, however. In a recent and controversial decision, Garnett v. ADT LLC, 139 F.Supp.3d 1121 (E.D. Cal. 2015), the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California held that the provision of the California Labor Code requiring paystub identification of actual hours worked must be strictly construed and thus, the hours worked requirement must also be met for many exempt employees, such as outside sales staff. The California legislature responded to this decision by making it clear that employees who are exempt from minimum wage and overtime do not need to have their "actual hours worked" reflected on wage statements.
Equally important with respect to pay are amendments to the Fair Pay Act (via the Equal Wage Act of 2016) which add "race" and "ethnicity" alongside "gender" with respect to the "equal pay for substantially similar work" requirements. California employers may still inquire into and consider salary history when determining compensation, albeit they may not rely solely on salary history to justify current levels. This nuanced law may nevertheless carry liabilities for the unwary via disparate impact claims, e.g. anti-discrimination claims that allege that an employer, regardless of intent, engaged in unlawful discrimination by implementing a policy or practice that in fact discriminates based on protected classes, here gender, race, and national origin. The best practice for determining whether such a bias, albeit unintentional, exists, is to have a qualified practitioner perform a disparate impact analysis. In addition, review your hiring and salary negotiation practices.
Opportunity to Work in San Jose
If you conduct business in San Jose, you may have heard of Measure E, or the "Opportunity to Work" law. Effective March 8, 2017, it applies to employers who have 36 or more employees, situated anywhere. It addresses the question every employer ultimately faces in deciding whether to give new work hours to existing employees or to bring in new or temporary employees. The measure effectively makes the decision for employers: you must offer these newly available hours to existing or current employees, rather than hiring new or temporary workers. It provides for exceptions. First, the additional hours need not be offered to anyone for whom they would create a premium rate (such as overtime) payment obligation. Second, the measure's benefits can be waived by a collective bargaining agreement. And last, the hours do not have to be offered to anyone who does not possess the qualifications, skillset, or experience to perform the work. As usual, notices and posters will be required. Take note: if any employee complains about a violation of Measure E, and is subjected to adverse action within 90 days, that adversely acted upon employee will operate under a presumption that retaliation has occurred.
Other Workplace Items, Briefly
Immigration: Ensure that you are strictly following the terms of the I-9 immigration document, including sticking to the list documents. Requesting or considering additional documentation not listed or required by the I-9 is now unlawful and may carry a penalty of up to $10,000.
Smoking: Use of e-cigarettes, vaporizers, and similar devices is now included in the smoking ban along with cigarettes. Ensure that you update your non-smoking policies accordingly.
Driving while Phoning: The traffic code generally has created a penalty for operation of cellular and smartphones while operating a motor vehicle. Hands-free operation is allowed, however, and there is a limited exception for the use of hands when activating the hands-free option while driving. If you employ anyone in a driving capacity, you will wish to update your policies with respect to cell- and smartphone use.
Employment Agreements: You may continue using "choice of law" and "choice of venue (or forum)" provisions in your employment agreements, but it is unlikely that you will be able to enforce them to your benefit. In California, such provisions are now voidable by the employee (but not by the employer) for employment situations and claims arising out of California. Thus, if you have California-based employees but seek to enforce their employment agreements under the laws of the state of, say, Florida, it is unlikely that this practice will be allowed to continue unless the employee also desires to litigate in Florida.
Handbooks: Though required for 2016, be sure that your equal employment opportunity policies reflect required changes, including to listings of protected classes, sexual harassment complaint procedures, abusive language, and more.
Bathrooms: Starting March 1, 2017, ensure that your "single-user bathrooms" are designated as "All Gender Access" bathrooms.
Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Protections: The Labor Commissioner will require you to issue notices to your employees regarding these protections. A form should be available near mid-year, on or around July 1, 2017.
Amendment 64, Adult Use of Marijuana: Employers may continue to prohibit and test for marijuana use along with the previously existing restrictions on substance abuse testing.
Property Service (i.e. Facilities and Janitorial Staff): For three (3) years, keep records pertaining to name and address, age (if under 18), wages and pay, daily hours worked (including start and end times), and records pertaining to terms and conditions of employment. In essence, keep identifying information, wage documentation, time records, and all records with respect to pay practices and other policies then-existing (e.g. a then-current employee handbook).
Things for Which to Watch
As the new legislation explained above is implemented, local enforcement agencies and California courts will undoubtedly weigh in on the grey areas. For instance, how is "equitable and non-discriminatory" distribution of work hours effected in under San Jose's "Opportunity to Work" law? And what will be the requirements for a complaint "written assessment" as required by Los Angeles' Ban-the-Box legislation?
In addition, the impact of federal decision-making may bring employers back to their pay practices. For instance, if the Department of Labor's now-stalled overtime rule were to be implemented, employers will be required to abide by a federal minimum salary level for exemptions (i.e. $47,476/year) that is higher than the new California level ($43,680/year). Developments with respect to the pending appeal to the injunction that placed this rule in abeyance will need to be followed closely by employers who employ exempt workers falling between the California and proposed federal levels.
On the horizon for 2018 are changes for home-care workers (requiring paid sick leave), heat injury and illness prevention regulations (due to Cal-OSHA in 2018), and the possible implementation of the California Secure Choice Retirement Savings program (at earliest, in 2018).
For now, assess your regional requirements and determine whether changes are feasible on the local level or require broader introspection into national or California-wide policies.

Republicans take first step to repeal Obamacare
Republican lawmakers in the US Senate have taken the first step to repeal and replace President Barack Obama's signature health insurance program by passing a new budget resolution.
The measure was passed by a 51-48 vote on Wednesday in the upper chamber of Congress. The resolution allows Republicans to replace the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, with a plan of their own.
The bill now awaits approval by the House of Representatives, before Republicans can send the final bill to President-elect Donald Trump's desk after his January 20 inauguration.
"The Senate just took an important step toward repealing and replacing Obamacare by passing the resolution that provides the legislative tools necessary to actually repeal this failed law while we move ahead with smarter health care policies," said Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, once the main supporters of the
Republicans criticize Obamacare as an excessive government intrusion into the healthcare market and contend it is harming economic growth by burdening businesses. They say they have a plan to replace it but have offered few details.
"(We) place our faith in the fact that we're going to do this in a manner that works well for the American people," Republican Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee said.
The only Republican to oppose the measure was Senator Rand Paul, who in a tweet called for a replacement.
"As we repeal Obamacare, we would be wise to vote on its replacement at the same time," he said prior to the vote.
The passing of the measure was faced with strong opposition from Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
"I think it's important for this country to know this was not a usual thing, this is a day which lays the groundwork for 30 million people to be thrown off their health insurance," Sanders said. "And if that happens, many of these people will die," he said.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren were among the numerous Democrats who tried to prevent the bill's passing.
According the non-partisan Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, about 52 million Americans under the age of 65 might lose their insurance if Obamacare is not replaced with a viable alternative.
Trump said in a press briefing on Wednesday that his administration would soon introduce a plan that will "get health care taken care of in this country."

Fallen Army Ranger from LI remembered as 'greatest guy'
By the coffin bearing the body of Sgt. Jason Santora at Calverton National Cemetery, a father, a mother and a sister wept.
Close by during the military ceremony honoring the Army Ranger, a cross section of Long Islanders choked back tears - a high school friend now with the 106th Air Rescue Wing at Westhampton Beach, a father whose son is stationed at the same fire base in Afghanistan where Santora was killed on April 23, a classroom teacher who played football with Santora when they were in junior high school.
Under a sky whose threat of rain gave way to sunshine, Santora, 25, was buried with military honors shortly after noon Monday.
'Always been a hero'
"He has always been a hero to all of his friends," said Staff Sgt. Ryan Helf, 25, of the Air National Guard, who lives in Holbrook and knew Santora from high school. "He's the kind of guy you never worried about being at war. Jay would say, 'It's not even a question - I will always come home.' "
Santora, who grew up in Farmingville, became the 12th Long Islander to die during the war in Afghanistan when he and another soldier were mortally wounded during a firefight south of Kabul.
Jason Shea, 30, who went through basic training and Army Ranger school with Santora, and later served with him in Afghanistan, lauded Santora as a "top-notch soldier" who was caring and strong-willed.
"He was the greatest guy," Shea said, "but not a guy you would want to mess with."
Faces of those at the cemetery showed how intimately war has touched Long Island.
One man there was Terry Kruger, 49, whose youngest son, Richard, knew Santora from the combat outpost in Afghanistan where the two men were stationed. Richard Kruger returned to Long Island on leave nine days before Santora was killed, and is now back in Afghanistan.
"It makes you scared as a parent," said Kruger, who has three children in the Army, including a 22-year-old daughter who likely will be deployed to Afghanistan within the year. "It could very well be me here next week, next month, next year."
Matt Ventimiglia, 25, a teacher at Half Hollow Hills West High School, stood with several of Santora's childhood friends as the hearse slowly made its way into the cemetery. He had last seen his friend at Helf's house during the Christmas season. Now he was saying goodbye.
Friends hadn't worried
"He's the kind of guy you never worried about," Ventimiglia said, echoing a sentiment shared by many of Santora's friends.
Moment's later, the military ceremony began.
The crack of rifles broke the silence, followed by a bugler's mournful melody.
Then Santora's mother, sister and father - Theresa, Gina and Gary - each accepted a folded U.S. flag, as the sound of sobs mingled in the springtime breeze.

All Android applications categories
This "NZ Grid Reference" application is for using with Zealand topographic maps. It displays the current GPS location in NZ grid/map reference format and in the associated NZTM2000 format.
This app is good for easily getting your current location on your paper topo-map.
The grid lines on a NZ topo map are marked with the same values of the NZ grid/map reference. For example grid ref, "AV30 198 982" would translate on the paper map to 19.8 on the east/horizontal axis & 98.2 on the north/vertical axis.
This purpose of this application is to give the current location in the same co-ordinates of the paper topo maps. There are other free applications like "outdoor atlas" that display off-line NZ topomaps on the phone. It is not the intention of this application to duplicate that functionality.
GPS devices often do not get a position fix inside and can be affected by the environment, trees weather, etc. If there are problems getting a position fix, try moving to a slightly different location and to a location with clear line of site to the sky.
Thank you for the feedback emailed so far. It is appreciated.

"Funky toilets"
Malawi Travel Blog› entry 8 of 23 › view all entries
Hmm.. Remember that it's your choice to read this or not.
I am used to say bathroom or girls room when it comes to this small room where toilet is. So now I was in Malawi, asking where is bathroom and where did I found myself? Showering room where was no toilet. Hmm, let's take it again.. "What I ment to ask was that where is toilet?". :D That toilet was quite okay. There was a toilet- seat, without that middle thing, whatever cover it is. Usually I wouldn't use that kind of toilets, but hey, this time I was living there for four weeks and I had no other options.. I covered the porcelain part with toiletpaper and sat down. I had my own Finnish toiletpaper which I was really thankful. It was already dark when I got there and all the stores were closed and all toiletpaper was used by that time already.
The second place where I stayed was bit different. There they had outhouse. No toilet seat, nothing.. Only hole in the ground. So you actually needed to "squat" there. It was bit dirty, but I have seen places more dirty than that also. When it became dark I didn't wanted to go in there. I had my flashlight with me and I hated everything I saw in there. I was so scared using it. One night I woke up and started walking towards that outhouse. I shouldn't drink that much water in the evenings, I know.. But anyways.
After that everything felt so good.. Toilet with whole in the ground but with water and toiletpaper and.. :)

Hello Contra Dance enthusiasts and former and/or potential future "Whirlers",
Time to register now for the 2016 Whirl! Early Bird Pricing Discounts are available through April 15.
This year it's Maivish, Contrarians, Gaye Fifer, Tom Hinds, and RUSHFEST Contra Dance Party by Emily Rush on Friday late night! Come enjoy a dance vacation in the beautiful New River Gorge area of WV!
This is our 12th Whirl, and I've played for all of them as fiddler for the Contrarians. I'm excited that we've got Maivish, with 2 of the original members of Crowfoot from Canada with Matt Olwell from WV! Also joining us for the first time at Fayette County Park with it's wonderful wood and stone 1930's dance hall will be the phenomenal Tom Hinds from Charlottesville, VA.
The Whitewater Whirl is held in Beckwith, WV, 8 miles from Fayetteville, one of the coolest outdoor adventure towns in the East with whitewater rafting, rock and cliff climbing, zip-lining, hiking, mountain biking, and all kinds of opportunities for the contra dancer who likes to get out in nature and enjoy beauty and serenity or heart pounding adventure if you prefer that! But even if you're only coming to dance, this is world class.
We dance in a historic wood and stone New Deal era dance hall with a suspended wooden floor, stage, fireplace and barn door sides that can be opened or closed to suit our needs.
If you can get there by 6 pm Friday, Chef Harriette Bugel and True Color Cooking from Asheville, NC will have a light dinner for only $8 (the rest of the meals for the weekend are in a package deal costing $60 and you won't have to leave the camp if you don't want). The food is always great and plentiful, with options for vegans and the gluten intolerant.
The Contrarians and Maivish will take turns grooving and rocking both Friday and Saturday nights as will Gaye and Tom. We'll finish the regular contra dancing at 11 pm Friday, but Emily Rush will keep the music and calling going until 1 am. During the day on Saturday we'll have workshops and dances aplenty. Maivish will play you out from 10 am -1 pm on Sunday, and Chef Harriette will have lunch ready for you when you're ready for it.
Jamming is encouraged out of earshot of the dancing or in the dining hall at any time, and Rachel Eddy, a WV treasure, will be leading scheduled sessions on Saturday and Sunday. Camping or a bunk in one of the cabins is free (that's right, once you pay to dance, you're free to stay in camp or at one of the local motels or B&B's (but make your reservations for that soon--no need to reserve cabin or tent space. The cabins are rustic and the typical 4-H bunk beds with foam mattresses. Toilet and shower facilities are near the cabins.
I know I've left out some things, but that's what the Website is for. And PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD! We have never completely filled up our floor for the weekend, so maybe this can be the first time....find us on Facebook, join, or click "interested" and invite your FB friends.
Hope to see you there!
Paul Epstein,
Dance Chair, Whitewater Whirl
December 2015

|Reviews for Like A Comet
| Doncamatic chapter 2 . 1/14/2012
WOW! This is amazing. You have captured all of the characters really well, and I love your OC too :)
| Quillam chapter 3 . 6/7/2011
This is hilarious!
The Boosh always struck me as being a bit too weird to make fanfiction of, but you're doing it right. Everyone seems in proper character, and the dialogue sounds very rigth. I catch myself thinking, though, that I'd prefer it if Lily's point of view was less visible, but that's probably just because it would be more like an episode that way, and she would be a bit more of a concept than a character. And I do see how your story benefits more from how things are.
I do hope you continue this, at some point. I imagine a continuation would be very amusing.
| Mother of Purl chapter 2 . 4/13/2010
This is really cool! I also read chapter one and this is a good story :) I got a story too, it's called The Moon and the Orchid, it about Howard finding love and the girl is Lester's niece, a Fulcher character! yay!
| MoonLover chapter 3 . 4/2/2010
This story is nice! I hope you decide to continue it. :D Good Job so far!
| Aclockworkkatelyn chapter 3 . 10/14/2009
i lime ur mighty boosh story, cant wait to read more ]
| lioneye44 chapter 3 . 10/7/2009
I really like this story. the characters are sounding and acting like I think they would. keep up the good work!
| burningblack chapter 3 . 10/7/2009
Aww. And thank you for reviewing my story.
I've got another chapter in the works.
And Dixon is totally in character.
I love Bob, btw.
He always makes me laugh.
I'm ready for the war!
| burningblack chapter 2 . 10/6/2009
Aw. Poor Howard.
Write more soon. I want to know where you're going with this!
| CaPlanePourMoi chapter 1 . 10/4/2009
This is awesome, Please continue it!

Getting your friends to engage the poker table can be a real issue when they don't know the ins-and-outs of the game. Here's your chance. No excuses. Teach 'em like a pro and don't forget the snacks.
1.Throw a poker party
If you're looking to throw a party, don't worry. We've got you covered. It's best to start with determining who to invite, setting up the table, and, if you're feeling especially competitive, figuring out your own poker strategy for the game.
But let's not get too ahead of ourselves. It's best to get everyone at your poker party on the same page, especially since you have a set of newbs at the table. If your friends have never played before,check out the poker hands (listed from highest to lowest) and start off with the simplest and most popular game, Texas hold'em poker and its rulebook (it may be best to print out and keep handy some of our steps). And maybe play a practice round to answer questions like, "Is a flush or full house better in poker?"
Beyond that, it might be best to discuss what the blinds or stakes will be and any side bet rules.
If you'd like to bro out, Bro Bible recommends picking out the top-shelf liquor to accompany your game, but also some other deemed essentials like chewing tobacco, cigars, a poker case, and well, money. They also recommend a background movie of the Martin Scorcese variety (e.g., Goodfellas,Casino, The Departed, The Wolf of Wall Street), but you be the judge on that.
Art of Manliness considers strict logistics — planning well before the game, setting house rules, providing food, and setting an end time to up the competitiveness.
2. Make the game fun with applications and computer play
First things first. If you don't have the PokerNews app, it's time (see our links at the bottom of this page). But if you're looking for other options to get your game in line, here are the five best poker-themed apps for your phone or tablet (to give your friends a gamified idea of poker) and the best places to play poker on your tablet (because it's always best to pregame).
Five best poker-themed apps for your phone or tablet
- Zynga Poker
- Governor of Poker 3
- World Series of Poker
- World Poker Club
- DH Texas Poker
Best places to play poker on your tablet
- PokerStars
- partypoker
- 888 poker
If you're feeling particularly ballsy, try Spin & Go poker.
3. Start a book club following the champs for your tamer friends
Really, the options in the book world are endless, so we try to make it easy on you with a list. Sometimes the best way to bring your friends into the game is to tell them how it works or show them the personality behind the game by inundating them with poker players and their news. Follow them on Twitter for starters, keep track of the player rankings and winners, and run through the most recent tours to see how they're doing.
4. Invite them to a freeroll
If you aren't familiar, a freeroll is a tournament that is free to enter.
There are a variety of freeroll leagues across PokerNews sites that not only award cash but also give access to some of the world's largest tournaments. So don't be shy! Use this as an opportunity to create some endorphin association with the game.
Some notable freerolls: PokerStars has prize pools exceeding $1,000; partypoker has a $5,000 cash booster freeroll every week; and the Full Tilt Poker freerolls range from $500 to $1,000; and obviously, the World Series of Poker freerolls rise from the rest with special promotions that can award seats to the WSOP bracelet events or even the Main Event!
5. Poker videos are always more engaging than your voice
Just start by looking below at the "Sh*t Poker Players Say" and you already have an entry into the game for your friends that is more appealing than anything else you could come up with.
Browsing PokerNews, you can find poker player interviews (and find out what you don't know about them), poker news related to current events, and the latest from every notable tournament event.
Twitch is also a good place for information, so if you're looking to discover some of the best Twitch accounts to follow (with Part 1, Part 2. and must-follows).
If you have friends that would rather read, don't fret. Our live reporting option is their best bet.
6. Go on a poker vacation
It's never too late to plan a vacation and why not add an event to the list? Then, when you're not watching a game, you can check out the best tournaments to attend by ranking.
Here's the poker tournament calendar to get you going. Who doesn't love Las Vegas or Italy? Just saying.
Our recommendations are to gather your buddies early to cut on costs when planning your getaway, wire any money over $10,000 if you get in on the action, pick up a city map ahead of time, stock up your frequent fliers with one airline, learn what you have to of the language to get around, exchange all your currency at the same time, and be aware of your surroundings.
Travel light because no one wants to lug their baggage around when they're supposed to be on vacation. But even more than that, plan to stay an extra day because bonding is done best in the pre-and-post tournament shenanigans.
Now get playing! You're welcome.

I'd like to replicate a sub-set of a table from a public DB to our local DB. Effectively, the public table stores data that isn't relevant for the local DB and since replication occurs every time stuff is updated (and there's a likelihood of the public DB being updated fairly often, well, maybe 5/6 times a day) it'd be good to keep the traffic to a minimum (it'll be over a relatively slow internet connection).
Consequently, I was wondering if there's anyway to replicate the equivalent of a single table view, that can then be updated on the subscriber DBs and then those updates propagated back to the main DB and the changes made to the original table.

Aussies maintain dominance in Kandy
Australia was dominating an out-of-form Sri Lanka at tea on day one of the second Test in Kandy.
After winning the toss the hosts lost five wickets in the morning session before a further three wickets fell in the afternoon to have Sri Lanka 8 for 150 at the break.
Nothing highlighted Sri Lanka's plight more than when Michael Hussey (1 for 0) of all people ended a 52-run stand between Kumar Sangakkara (48) and Angelo Mathews (43 not out) by having the experienced Sangakkara caught by Phil Hughes with just the third delivery of his sole over.
The wicket was Hussey's third in a 61-Test career and continued Michael Clarke's charmed start to life as Australia's Test captain.
From there things continued to slide out of control for Sri Lanka, as Australia moved into a great position to take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Ryan Harris (3 for 23) and Trent Copeland (2 for 24) began the rot with two wickets each in the first session, Nathan Lyon (2 for 41) also chiming in when Prasanna Jayawardene (18) tried one big shot too many against the off-spinner and was caught in the penultimate over before lunch.
After the break Sangakkara and Mathews tried to stem the tide before Hussey, who also snared a brilliant catch diving to his left at gully to dismiss Mahela Jayawardene (4), struck.
Following Sangakkara's dismissal Suraj Randiv (4) also fell trying to dominate Lyon when he popped a return catch to the South Australian and then Harris clean bowled debutant Seekkuge Prasanna (5).
Harris tried his best to remove Suranga Lakmal in the four remaining deliveries before tea, twice asking for LBW decisions to be referred, but the Sri Lankans survived into the break.
Earlier, Sri Lanka had to rule out left-arm spinner Rangana Herath due to a finger injury sustained in training on Wednesday, meaning leg-spinner Prasanna was called up for his Test debut.
Shaun Marsh, making his own debut for Australia, enjoyed a special moment before the match when his father Geoff - a former Test opener and coach - presented him with his Baggy Green cap.

Part 1/2
[ToC][Next Chapter]
Linkbucks (moneh!)
[ToC][Next Chapter]
This is a prologue-like episode before the main volume in chronological order.
As this is before the main volume, The main part can be enjoyed without reading this especially.
For those who don't like these kind of foreword, Please skip.
(TN: lol you are gonna read this especially biatches… Unless you wanna wait 5ever for translations ofc)
(TN: This was released April 30th 2016, First chapter was released June 2015)
In this place Light and darkness confront each other.
On one hand a person who is symbolized as the hope and desire of humanity and On the other hand, A person who led and protected the demon's existence.
「–I, We, Are we really beings that should be destroyed? 」
「Answer, Agent of God!」
Now, Me and the hero are sealed together in the threshold of time, Our last destination was met.
A holy sword has pierced deeply into my chest, The radiance probably won't dim until the burning on my body has resided.
And the Hero, He is swallowed by the Charm of Darkness which I cast as the price for piercing the holy sword through me and he is eroded until the depths of his soul are exhausted.
We are both fatally wounded, The battle between the Demon King and the Hero has ended here, The world will probably obtain peace for a while.
But… I still have one question at my time of death.
The hero is the Agent of God, This is a tradition handed down from ancient.
Also in our own history, It has been confirmed In the past where a person called God ascended to heaven.
However, It should have been easy at the time if God wanted to harm me, When something like God exists, Without using any agents, Don't they finish the story using their own hands by themselves?
Since the time of the raid on the Demon city by the human race which included the hero. The option of reconciliation had been taken away when the war begun. Bloodshed between the races for several years from the background followed. Each race's hatred kept collecting without the opportunity to discuss what the cause of this was.
As for this little amount time we have together, Is it not to show each other our true hearts And isn't it probably an opportunity where we can obtain a chance to solve the mystery?
(TN: Huge a** block of confuzzling text :,( )
「I wonder, So Hero, No, You were a hero, Now you're just a lone human, You and I, My Demon race… Was there a way? A road in which we could walk hand in hand?」
「I'm sorry, If only we realized sooner…」
「~~Is that so」
The words and expression of the Hero was full of bitterness, We've sympathized in dying.
Just before being sealed in the thresholds of time, We saw it. The distorted figure of the High Priest who waited near the hero. At that time the end was forced upon the lone Hero.
Even if I'm the worst, I had no choice but to take ruthless measures in order to bring it to even a draw, But with his facial expression it didn't seem to be so.
(TN: Basically by hero-kuns expression he doesn't think demon king-kun is the worst evarr!11!!)
「I'm sorry, Mankind and you were also victims, I want to solve the erosion of darkness, But it has already eaten this deeply, I can't even help myself either. As an offering at least, I'll also perish quietly together with you」
「… Really, I'm sorry!」
Ahh, This holy sword, When it destroys a demon it conveys it. As expected having a battle at this time wasn't his true intention.
My soul has also begun to seal because of this body which belongs to a demon, It's also wrapping me in warmth at the same time.
My doubt and the doubt of God aren't exhausted yet, I surely won't be able to solve it. It's regrettable, But I have to hand it over to the next generation. I'll retire from this stage quietly.
This was the last moment of my soul which has become mere residue, It was the memory of my last moment – – –

It's the fall time, and Howie Boeve at Century 21 knows that now is the time to buy. Buying a home at this time could help potential purchasers spare more than $200,000 throughout the following 30 years, as indicated by the inaugural Opportunity Cost Report discharged today by realtor.com. This report endeavors to appear in dollars and pennies the expense of postponing obtaining a home in 382 lodging markets all through in the United States.
In gathering this report, Jonathan Smoke, boss business analyst for realtor.com® measured numerous variables, including the long haul money related effect of owning versus leasing, the sum evaluated that leaseholders will lose in holding up to purchase, and the monetary advantages of homeownership by business sector.
Interest rates, home costs, and the expense of rent are all anticipated to go up consistently, which will affect the choice to defer acquiring a home, the report notes. Howie Boeve at Century 21 can help you with all your home buying needs.
"Current economic situations give purchasers the chance to assemble significant riches in the long haul, contrasted and leaseholders and later purchasers, ahead of time of the anticipated increment in home loan rates and proceeding with value gratefulness," says Smoke. "The issue is stock is low, which has numerous future home purchasers –especially novices – remaining on the sidelines and passing up a major opportunity for conceivably material monetary profits."
So what does this assessed long haul riches pick up truly resemble? Smoke reports that while some lodging markets are more purchaser agreeable than others, broadly the normal purchaser is set to pick up $217,726 over a 30-year period taking into account today's dollars. Furthermore, in 88 percent of metro ranges, the budgetary advantage of purchasing a home at this moment aggregates at any rate $100,000 more than 30 years.
"This investigation takes a gander at the money related motivations to purchase a home, in view of suppositions about rising home loan rates and changes in home estimations," says Smoke. "Remember that a home buy choice is profoundly individual. Potential purchasers need to consider elements, for example, forthcoming life occasions, professional stability and potential migration, notwithstanding money related advantages, in light of the fact that they also can have a huge effect on proprietors. Contact Howie Boeve at Century 21 to assist you with making the right purchase.

Book Review by Marc Ollard
Let me ask you a question. Do you love Roman history? If so, how many of you secretly dream of being there, two thousand years ago, living a life far removed from the modern rat race? Who would you want be I wonder? Perhaps a crafty slave like Frankie Howerd's Lurcio. Maybe a man of action like Russell Crowe's Maximus. Or a sophisticated and sexually ambiguous patrician like Lawrence Olivier's Crassus. Or perhaps like the vast majority of ancient Romans in real life, take on the world and make a success of yourself in latin society. If so, this is exactly the place to be, for Marcus Sidonius Falx has written down his guide to getting somewhere in ancient life - Welcone to Release Your Inner Roman.
This book is quite literally written from the perspective of our esteemed Roman guide, Marcus Sidonius Falx. No, I've never heard of him before, but I suppose in the competitive bear pit of Roman high society not everyone can be famous. Sidonius Falx is a man with strong opinions of what is or isn't a policy for success and despite the book's somewhat tongue-in-cheek perspective, I find Falx a little hard to like with his air of superiority and constant assumption that everyone reading his advice really needs it desperately. But of course, he's no more insufferable than patricians of the Roman Empire would have been, especially those trying to be more successful than they actually were.
The chapters are divided into aspects of lifestyle and career. We start with the habits of highly heroic Romans, moving on to how to conquer your emotions, climbing the oily pole, romancing like a Roman, how to manage your family, the pursuit of happiness, a healthy mind in a healthy body, the Gods help those who help themselves, and finally, live forever!
Jerry Toner is the man responsible for bringing Marcus Sidonius Falx to a wider modern audience. With each chapter Dr Toner adds a commentary showing examples from real life recorded by the Romans themselves to demonstrate that Sidonius Falx isn't talking out of his well cared for behind. He notes that many readers will recognise attitudes and circumstances familiar to the modern world, which is probably none too suprising considering that human beings are not really much different than their Roman ancestors. They too laughed, loved, ate too much, went to the lavatory, and basically trampled anyone who got in their way. Part of this book is all about this recognition, and more importantly, how the Romans coped with their status-hungry lifestyles. Forget any guilt about the rat race - embrace it - win it.
You might be forgiven for thinking that the Romans were less obsessed than us with equating success with material possessions, but the evidence left to us by the Romans themselves displays a penchant for greed and acquisition that is truly appalling. Sidonius Falx however doesn't dwell on that accumulation of objects and concentrates instead on behaviour and relationships. Or with less obvious relish, fame and fortune.
Can this book guide us in our modern lives? Sidonius Falx clearly thinks so, but then he lived at a time when Romans believed they were the epitome of civilisation. Are we so far removed from the Roman Empire? Fast cars vs racing horses. Big house in the country vs a rural villa. Celebrity parties around the swimming pool vs sumptuous dinner parties recliinng on couches. Media superstars vs champion athletes. The parallels are obvious and appeal to the contemporary attraction of comparing ancient and modern civilisations.
The worrying thing is often we're not that different, although we don't throw people to the lions anymore. Come to think of it, we like to see animals protected rather than haplessly slaughtered in public exhibitions. From there we begin to notice the seperation of culture.. Sidionius Falx belongs to a society that was ruthlessly commercial without the legal protections we have. A society mired in intense political cut and thrust that often gets quite bloody and violent, who complain about the noise of urban life and do little to restrain it. A society that throws the contents of bedpans out of upper story windows without worrying about demands to open the door soon afterward.

- Gladiator Manual by P. Matyszak
- Slave Management by J. Toner
In some ways this book reveals a world in very personal terms and one can almost picture daily life and its constant hassles and knife-fights. There is a part of me that is envious of the Roman way of life with such opportunities for fun, social advancement, and taking other people's money withour fear of a prison sentence. The other remains appalled at their attitudes and careless rejection of humane values when it suits them. For all this book's witty style and insight, do we really want to be Roman after the lessons of Sidonius Falx?
Jerry Stoner - I salute you for coping with the arrogance of Sidonius Falx and for bringing his world into such a deeply close perspective.. And for making me laugh. As for you Falx... Well, keep up the good work. Who knows, maybe next year?
Dr Jerry Toner is Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics at Churchill College, Cambridge. His research looks at Roman social and cultural history, with a focus on trying to look at history 'from below'. He is also interested in sensory history, disasters, and the use of Classics to create various imagery and stereotypes relating to subordinate groups.
