It's going to be a lot different than 1985. I know that much.
In 1985, the only other time the Super Bowl was played in the Bay Area, all seats were bleacher seats at Stanford Stadium. Some of those seats were built on dirt. Tailgate parties and hospitality tents were scattered across the campus and some people got lost trying to find them, especially afterward in the dark. There were bitter feelings among some in the South Bay because, even though companies from San Jose and Silicon Valley had contributed money to help land the game, the NFL money was spent almost entirely in San Francisco and hotel rooms near the stadium went unsold.
From what I saw Tuesday when the Bay Area landed Super Bowl L, none of those things will be an issue this time. The new stadium in Santa Clara is the most huge part of that. But I really think this could be a watershed moment for the way people look at sports in Northern California — and a significant thing for regional cooperation in general.
Naturally, everyone involved in the bid effort was smiling and giddy to hear the NFL will bring the world's third-biggest sporting event (behind only the Olympics and World Cup, in my book) to our part of the globe. But the words they uttered went even beyond what I expected to hear.
For this, you can primarily credit 49ers owner Jed York and bid chair Daniel Lurie, who had promised the project would involve as many area codes as possible. But you can also mention San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthews, who from the start decided not to have an attitude. They even invited San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed into the mix of planning, realizing that the Bay Area's largest city was going to be needed for pulling together such a large project.
After the NFL announcement, Lee mentioned the other two mayors in his remarks and said: "The way we do sports, we try to emphasize it's not just the single accomplishments that people have, it's what it presents to all of our communities, and we make that a sharing moment for everyone. The return is big time . . . When it's beyond just one city, there's a multiplier effect."
Yes, Lee admitted, it was initially "bitter" to swallow the idea of the 49ers moving to Santa Clara in 2014 but held a series of meetings with York in which Lee said, "Why don't we really make it a conversation about hosting a Super Bowl for the whole Bay Area? I think the bittersweet part is over with, we're on to the excitement, the welcoming . . . "
Lurie, speaking in Boston where the NFL vote was taken, said: "This has been an honor and privilege to work on this with Mayor Reed and Mayor Lee and Mayor Matthews. We're excited to show you what the Bay Area has to offer in 2016. We've had the ability to host an event of this caliber for a long time. We just didn't have the stadium."
York, also in Boston, specifically mentioned all the people in Santa Clara who had walked door-to-door to build support for the stadium and thanked them along with everyone else. York also credited "the willpower of an entire area — not just the City of San Francisco but the City of San Jose and the City of Santa Clara."
And this from former 49ers running back Roger Craig: "The Bay Area wins. I'm not sure what city will get the most, but let's spread it around."
I'm not naive. I know not everyone around the Bay is going to hold hands and sing "Kumbaya." But it's still nice to see people trying to cooperate. Besides, it's only practical. Most of the corporate presence that will support the Super Bowl is located in Silicon Valley, so the area must be given consideration when it comes to planning the week. With a little effort, that consideration will spread beyond this one event. The last local pursuit of the Olympics flopped because San Francisco tried to go it alone. Can't happen.
Outsiders often find it hard to get their arms around the Bay Area mojo. So do local citizens, even. But basically, we live in an area of roughly 7 million people. There are three major cities. San Jose has about a million people. San Francisco's population is about 800,000. Oakland has around 400,000 residents.
What that means: The vast majority of people in the region live in none of those cities. In sports, their allegiances are all over the place — there are Giants fans in the East Bay and Raiders fans in the South Bay — but they benefit by having so many options available to them in so many sports. And they should all benefit by having a Super Bowl come to visit.
Almost no one will get a ticket to the game. But the NFL has learned over the years to create more activities and events for locals. In 2016, the focus for many of those events will be in San Francisco, but the Super Bowl vibe will be spread out in a way it never was in 1985. You don't think that Google, after donating $2 million to help land the game, will want to host a party at its headquarters for all the people with whom it does business? And the same for Yahoo, which is located just a few long punts from the new stadium? Heck, you can argue that in the 21st century, a "Silicon Valley Super Bowl" is a more sexy brand than a "San Francisco Super Bowl."
But I like the way it mostly came out Thursday, from the lips of just about everyone: "Bay Area Super Bowl."
And this time, there won't be any bleacher seats, either. We've come a long way.

This winner and I went out a few times, then one night he took me back to his place without informing me he lived in a closet-sized spare room in his parents' apartment. When I wouldn't let him get past second base, he told me he had to "go to sleep early", so I went home. Later that night I saw him at the bar with who I assumed was the girlfriend I didn't know existed. Classy!
working at the shop today, someone mentioned this little angry gem of a website. it's called " I bang the worst dudes (sorry mom)". for short, it's called sorry-mom.com. a website that is dedicated to randomly uploaded photos of alleged douschebags that fuck weird. from what i gather, anyway. my friend miles made the cut meaning he managed to bum out some chick enough to put a photo up of him admist the hobbyist mimes, jackass vin diesels with tribal fades, and adolescent hipsters that smell like mold. congradulations, miles!! i always knew there was something wrong with you!!!

Fifty Shades of Gray In LA
City of Night
I grew up in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. Aliquippa was the home of a giant steel mill; at one time it was the largest in the world. The entire monstrosity was near 11 miles long and employed close to 15k workers.
The town was like something out of a rust-belt boom-town dream. Or was it a nightmare? Aliquippa was in the Guiness Book of World Records for having the most bars per square mile. A recent article in our local newspaper put it this way. "Aliquippa was a dirty little town of 30,000 with more bars, bordellos and gambling rooms than most would care to admit. In 1918, a state Supreme Court justice offered the following assessment of Aliquippa:
It is said that the region is largely peopled by uneducated foreigners, who invariably carry concealed deadly weapons; that murders are common; and that when a quarrel ensues, the question as to who shall be the murdered…

Son of Even More Ancient Street Shots of Los Angeles
Yes it just keeps on going. I THINK all or most of these were taken, as were the rest in this week's blast from the past, with the Nikon Coolpix 950. Trusty little devil. Between 2000 and 2004. Which is mighty trusty indeed for a first generation digital camera. Solid.
More, Even Better, Ancient Street Shots of Los Angeles
Again, these images were taken with one of the first great digital cameras, the Nikon Coolpix 950. Probably from around 2000 to 2004. I had so much fun with this camera that twisted the part with the viewfinder from the side with the lens. Twisty little sucker. Like having a viewfinder camera and I don't know why I remember it being 'live view.' Maybe I'm misremembering. Anyway. Yet even more images to come tomorrow.

This winter I was invited for the first time to curate a literature festival – a smallish one, with a co-curator, Paul North of Yale University. We were asked to select six younger German-speaking writers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland – two from each country – to come to New York and present their work in English-language translations to an American audience. In three weeks, the Festival Neue Literatur – German for "festival of new literature" – will present the authors we chose: Andrea Grill and Andrea Winkler of Austria, Dorothee Elmiger and Peter Weber of Switzerland, and Julia Schoch and Antje Ravic Strubel of Germany. They will be joined on panels and readings by two wonderful American writers, Francine Prose and Rivka Galchen. Organizing the festival proved complicated beyond my wildest imaginings, but now that all the details have been worked out, I am thrilled to be able to present the work of these writers to a new audience. They will be reading from and speaking about their novels on two early-evening panels the weekend of Feb. 12/13. In addition, at noon on Sunday, Feb. 13, NYU's Deutsches Haus will host a Frühschoppen featuring micro-readings by all eight authors along with a traditional German brunch of sausages and beer; the word Frühschoppen used to mean a glass of beer consumed in the morning, especially on a Sunday, but now it is used more broadly to indicate a brunch or late-morning gathering, particularly one involving a discussion of some sort. Write to email@example.com to RSVP to the Frühschoppen.
And here's the scoop on the two evening panels:
Saturday Feb. 12: "The Future of the Novel," featuring Peter Weber, Andrea Winkler, Andrea Grill and Rivka Galchen, with moderator Paul North, to be held at Powerhouse Arena at 37 Main Street in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood (first Brooklyn stop on the A, C or F trains), 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Sunday Feb. 13: "Writing and Memory," with Antje Ravic Strubel, Julia Schoch, Dorothee Elmiger and Francine Prose, moderated by me, at Idlewild Books, 12 W. 19th St. @ 5th Ave., 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
There'll be receptions as part of both events, with time to mingle with the authors and fellow book-lovers.
For more detailed descriptions of the events along with information about the authors and excerpts from their books, see the festival website. The festival is a co-production of the Goethe Institut, the Austrian Cultural Forum, Deutsches Haus, the German Book Office, the Consulate General of Switzerland and ProHelvetia, the Swiss Arts Council.
I hope you'll come out for some great storytelling! It's a guaranteed cure for the winter blues.

Lighting August 11, 2015
To continue the cloud theme, this cloud shaped nightlight gets two thumbs up from me. The piece is made from powder coated metal. You can hang it on a wall or set it on a dresser as a decorative accent. I particularly love the perforated front, which lets just the right amount of light into the room. Available for purchase here.

I remember leaving the bar so drunk, with clothes on. Woke up on my living room floor butt naked with one shoe on my hand and my other hand in a bag of chips. Pulled my hand out of the bag of chips to find I was clutching an unpaid bill from a different bar than the one I remember leaving. Clothes and other shoe gone. Went back to the bar to pay the bill. After some investigation I found out I left with my clothes on, no sign of my shoe or clothes to this day. At least I took my keys, wallet and phone home with me. haha.
Stories in: Miscellaneous
I got drunk and ran down my hallway of my new apartment complex naked. Well topless, but on the record my tits are awesome not sure if my neighbors saw or minded but I tend to get drunk and topless
Alright, so it's the morning after my 21st birthday and I had one mission, to get wrecked. I'll check things off in the order discovered:
- woke up naked, hungover as @#$%
- threw up Chinese food + Captain Morgans Private Stock on living room floor (that orange stain is there to this day, 2years later)
- threw up in the bathroom everywhere but into the toilet
- pissed all over my school books
- took a dump on the couch
Mission Accomplished.
My father was so drunk that he told me about his childhood and how he met my mother. Communism and World war was involved in his story and I'm only 16.
One time I got drunk and found a baby doll in the middle of nowhere and carried it around like it was my kid then I found a stick that looked like a gun and and went hunting.
I was so drunk I decided to peel all the carrots we had in our fridge then when my dad came home I told him I had a headache and went to my room and knocked over everything in my path.
I got so drunk one afternoon then befriended homeless people. I tried to beg with them when when church mass ended. Next things in order of happening: more beer, sleeping it off in park full of people with my legs on the pavement, more beers on beer festival, being kicked out, challenging police officer to fight, running away to not get arrested, beers in the pub, losing at arm and bruise my shoulder. Blackout and then waking up at other side of city at 2AM with no idea how I got there.
I was so drunk I woke up near the Hilton Valet with puke stains on my golden colored tuxedo that I had to return in 4 hours. Not only that, I had an interview. 4 hours later I again woke up in the same place, with my hand in my pants. Somehow I left feeling nauseated, stressed from missing an interview and having to pay 450$ for the tux but relieved and unemployed.
I was once so drunk, I woke up in my best friend's yard using several squares of sod as covers. I was also wearing a bra. I am a man.
One time I was so drunk that I went to work and changed my employees year-end bonus's based on how I actually felt about them.
One I night I had gotten so drunk at my now ex girlfriends house that I decided to dance on the roof of my lifted truck and fell off, unfortunately the night did not end there.. after some more drinking her brother in law and i decided to go across the highway from her house to smoke some weed on our way back I stated I had to piss and proceeded to pull it out and begin urinating in the highway with a 18 wheeler coming head on. I had no memory of this the next morning until I saw the pictures and videos.
One time me and my bud were so drunk walking home we came across a steam roller on some roadworks. We both then tried to drive the steam roller but my friend fell off and cracked his head on the wheel thing. We did walk back to his house but we eventually called an ambulance as he hadn't stopped bleeding.
I got so drunk last night that I missed class this morning.
On my 22nd birthday I got so drunk that I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and ended up sitting on a mini filing cabinet in my kitchen and peed all over the kitchen floor. My mom found me mid-pee and that is the only reason I know this happened.
One time we went clubbing in a town pretty far away from home, so we had to take the party bus… on our way home, my friend was so drunk that she started telling a guy why the lion king was her favorite movie and then she started singing hakuna matata. Then, out of nowhere, she was making out with the guy and she gave him a hand job in the bus that was full of people. She threw up over him afterwards..
My boyfriend and I got so drunk once we were only supposed to sip, but I ended up making out with a girl. He stopped us because I was enjoying it too much. Long story short he woke up naked and I was half naked the next day on the floor of her bedroom.
Up at a college for welcome weekend me and my buddy got so drunk we both got naked and climbed on top of the school's wrecking ball statue, swinging around and screaming Miley Cyrus's "wrecking ball" for a solid half hour before I eventually fell off, splitting my toe open.
I was at my in laws and drank way too much I told my husband that he cares about his mom more than me then started crying after that I remember slapping my husband in the face after overhearing his mother telling him to leave me alone. Then I started yelling at her. Really wish I didn't drink so much…
I was so drunk and went to go jack off, long story short I got up and I thought I was gonna cum but pissed all over my new computer.
I was so drunk, I turned my USB charger around before I plugged it in… And it worked.


text: Hoffman 'not right' for fullback: Hodges Thu 17 Oct, 2013, 5:18pm Laine Clark, AAP Tweet Email Print Kiwis custodian Josh Hoffman isn't a natural fit for fullback, according to Broncos teammate Justin Hodges. Credit: NRL Photos Copyright: NRL Photos He may be World Cup defending champion New Zealand's first choice fullback, but Josh Hoffman "is not the right guy" to wear the Broncos No.1 jersey, Brisbane teammate Justin Hodges says.Hoffman has been named fullback for the Kiwis' warm-up clash with the Cook Islands in England this weekend and is considered a key to their title defence.However, a question mark looms over Hoffman's place in the Broncos backline next year after the signings of Dally M Medallist Ben Barba, Canberra's Daniel Vidot and Cronulla's Stewart Mills.Hoffman was a shining light at fullback in the final seven NRL rounds in an otherwise dismal season for Brisbane.But Hodges said the Kiwi speedster must work on his passing game if he was to become a world class No.1."Hoffy is a great player, but at the moment I don't think he is the right guy for fullback," he told AAP."He's one of the best runners I have seen with the football, but he just has to work on his passing game. That's where I think he falls down."You look at guys like Greggy (Inglis) and Billy (Slater), all the great fullbacks we have in our game, they have those real fast hands."And Hoffy just hasn't learned that yet."Hoffman was reportedly upset when told of Barba's three-year deal in August and was believed to have contemplated a release from his contract, which expires at the end of 2015, before backing down.However, Hodges - battling back from an Achilles injury - believed being kept honest by Barba would only benefit Hoffman's game."I think Barba's arrival will be good for him," he said."It will be good competition."It (picking fullback) will be a real tough choice for Hook (Broncos coach Anthony Griffin)."But it will be good for the Broncos having those two guys firing."However, Hodges said Griffin may already possess the blueprint to best utilise Hoffman after Barba's arrival.Hodges and Hoffman successfully rotated between right centre and fullback this season before serious injury again struck down the Broncos veteran.The recovering Hodges believed swapping first choice fullback Barba with Hoffman on either the wing or centres would prove a masterstroke for Brisbane."Maybe that same role Hoffy and I played towards the end of the year, swapping over, I think they can still do that," Hodges said."There's no word that Hoff has to stay on the wing forever."Him and Benny swapping all the time will put the defence in two minds."

Ok -- not really an "invention"
Here's the deal: I completed "winter project # 1" awhile back (pimped 1970 schwinn cruiser shown below). For a finishing touch, I needed a nice seat bag to carry a lock.

I searched a bit for a black leather bag that would match the leather seat and grips, and didn't find anything that really impressed me.
Then I started a thinkin'....and one thing led to another. And after several mental "dress rehersals" and one or two prototypes (like it's oh so complicated), I came up with this gizmo from the plumbing section of the hardware store:

I started out with this white 4" drain pipe (something like $2.98 for 10 feet) and the $0.99 end caps. The nice (already black) pipe and caps were much more $ (caps alone were $4.99 ea).

I rattle can sprayed everything flat black, cut the bottom from one end cap to facility the red plumbers temporary plug and give the tube a symetrical look (having the bands at both ends), and glued it together. Added some straps -- and it's done.

The black paint is the weak link, but I like the way it turned out.

The red temporary plug works great for securing the end.

Practice Areas
$10 Million Penalty Awarded for Fraudulent Imports
In a March 28 ruling, the Court of International Trade imposed a nearly $10 million penalty on a British corporation for fraudulently importing a banned substance into the U.S. This company was charged with making 52 consumption entries of evening primrose oil over a four-year period during which EPO could not be sold legally in the U.S. because the Food and Drug Administration had not approved it for use as a drug or food supplement. The company was alleged to have knowingly participated in a criminal scheme involving two importers of record under which entry documentation falsely described the merchandise as containing some form of Vitamin E.
The court states that the penalty amount awarded is the statutory maximum permitted under 19 USC 1592 for a violation occurring by fraud, which cannot exceed the domestic value of the merchandise. CBP's regulations require such value to be determined according to the price at which the subject or similar merchandise was freely offered for sale in the ordinary course of trade. In this case, however, there was no such price because sale of EPO as a dietary supplement was unlawful at the time in question. CBP therefore appraised the merchandise based on landed cost, based on the presumption that the importer would not have sold the merchandise for less than what it cost to import it, and the court upheld that appraisal as reasonable and lawful. The court added that the deliberate use of a scheme to circumvent import controls meant to protect public health and safety was an aggravating factor in its consideration of the proper penalty amount and that there are no apparent mitigating circumstances.

Unknown individuals on Saturday severely beat up a leading journalist for the respected Russian daily newspaper Kommersant, forcing doctors to put him in an artificial coma, the paper said.
Kommersant said in a statement that two attackers beat its journalist Oleg Kashin with a hard object outside his apartment block in central Moscow in the early hours of Saturday.
"Kashin was seriously wounded and hospitalised. For the next few days, he will be in an artificial coma," it said.
The journalist received fractures to his lower and upper jaw and concussion, it said. Both his shins were broken and his fingers and skull were also wounded.
"It's clear that the people who did this did not like what he says and what he writes," Kommersant's chief editor Mikhail Mikhailin told Moscow Echo radio.
"What happened to him is linked to his professional activities," he added.
Moscow police confirmed the attack and police were sent to the scene to begin investigations, a spokesman told the RIA Novosti news agency.
Kashin, 30, specialised in writing about demonstrations, opposition meetings and the activities of youth groups for Kommersant and also covered the activities of President Dmitry Medvedev.
In recent months, he had been closely following demonstrations against the building of a highway through Khimki forest outside Moscow, which Medvedev has now put on hold pending a review, in a rare nod to popular pressure.
Journalists and activists following the Khimki highway controversy have in the past been targeted by attackers.
Konstantin Fetisov, head of the local branch of the opposition Right Cause party for Khimki, was beaten after attending a protest Thursday against the dumping of household waste in the area.
Local newspaper editor Mikhail Beketov, who had been highly critical of the local Khimki administration, was assaulted in November 2008 and forced to have a leg and several fingers amputated.
Numerous journalists have been beaten and even killed in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union, most notably campaigning writer Anna Politkovskaya who was gunned down in her apartment building in 2006.

Welcome to another Wacky Workshops project – making word games for kids.
If you read my post, Are you Ready to Face the Music, you'll know just how much I love to play around with words.
The oldest Goddess recently started "big school" (otherwise known as kindergarten).
I'm hoping to encourage her to share my love of words and I know this is the perfect age to really start.

The Student cost for each Kamp is $900.00 plus Tax. This fee includes all classes, concerts, workshops, lifetime friendships, meals and Maryville College dorm style housing. Off campus rates are available but we strongly suggest you stay on campus for the full feel and effect of the Kamps. There is a $75 deduction for staying off campus.
Spouses and friends accompanying students are called Kompanions and their rate is less though they cannot attend any of the Main Classes or Master Classes. They can however enjoy all meals, bed, concerts, jam sessions, some afternoon events and the tours that Mountain Challenge offers.
Master Class - This is a class that you sign up for at Kamp, not separated by level or instrument, with one of the Master Instructors. Maximum of eight students per Master Class. You don't have to be a master on your instrument to take part in the Master Class.
Old Time Traditional Rhythm Guitar
Old Time Fiddle
Old Time Mandolin
Old Time Banjo
Old Time Mountain Singing and Harmony
Mountain Dulcimer
Hammered Dulcimer
On Campus Rate - $900.00
Off Campus Rate-$825.00
Kompanion Rates are:
On Campus $495.00
Off Campus $420.00
All Fees Plus Tax.
Our Kamp's class structure is unique and different from any other music camp in the world. When you register for the Kamp with your instrument of choice, you aren't just signing up for one instructor - as is the case with most music camps. You are signing up for all the instructors for your instrument. You are divided by level and rotate through each of the instructor's classes. The "Beginner 101" class does not rotate. "Beginner 101" students stay with the same instructor through the week. Final Schedule Subject To Change.
Kampers (Students) can enjoy all classes and seminars, concerts, jams, break out sessions. Everything the Kamp has to offer.
Kompanions may attend the various morning and afternoon jams, breakout sessions, concerts and meals with the exception of the afternoon Master Classes. Kompanions may not attend the Main Classes and the afternoon Master Classes.
Kampers only, no Kompanions, in the Master Classes or the 2-Hour Main Classes.

Anymore driving is such a rat race. Speeding cars weaving in and out of traffic. Light to light. Rush, rush, rush! Every day is every man/women for themselves out there.
Imagine having the ability to be able to communicate with other drivers you see on the road. Maybe you can hook up with that hot girl/guy you see driving by. Maybe you can warn other drivers of the traffic jam ahead. Maybe you can find other commuters going your way and start carpooling. For drivers, the possibilities and uses of this application are endless.
Together we can make the driving experience a more pleasurable one. We can build an army of safe and courteous drivers, and end road rage. Together we will revolutionize driving forever! And it's free.
Contact us with any feedback, feature requests, or issues.

To be honest-and I am very much a natural poly-I completely agree.
It's one of my frustrations.
I don't think that terminating the relationship is the best or only answer at all.
I admire your effort to not put all of the blame on her, try to find a solution that doesn't leave you feeling neglecting of your own expectations as a parent and finally-your willingness to contemplate imaginative solutions.
As someone who really needs to move-because where we live is deteriorating my health-I can empathize with that issue on your wife's part.
I spend as much time as possible away from Alaska in the cold. It's somewhat easier in that my kids are home schooled, so I can take them with me and educate them from any location (hauling books can be a nightmare though).
However, it seems that it might be a good idea to find a family priority on moving so that you can remain a cohesive family unit while also preserving her health?

Transcription services play a major role in all important communication forums, in myriad ways. Underlying it all is the text format that helps corporate, businesses, the world of entertainment, healthcare, legal, research students, academics, etc., record their activities and conduct their day to day functions in a disciplined manner.
The need for transcripts will depend on situational demands which are well defined to be carried out in a methodical fashion.
As a customer, you will have the master recordings stored in your computer and release the audio cassettes, DVDs or minidisks to Transcriptionwave or upload them on our website or forward them to us as attachments to emails. As simple as all that.
Our standard turnaround-time is 2 to 3 days. Rush or super rush time vary between 12 to 24 hrs. You can choose the time frame as demanded and work out the final costing accurately before giving us the go ahead signal.
No. We have a large pool of trained transcribers who can faithfully reproduce the recordings coming under standard classifications of single speaker and multi-speaker with minimum clarity or containing disturbances in the track, difficult accents and poor quality of recordings.
Regardless of the quality of analogue, digital or other forms of inputs that we receive and process, transcription quality and accuracy are guaranteed and pegged at a minimum level of 98%.
Our standard payment options are through Paypal, credit cards, checks, Google wallet or by money transfers.
When you consider transcription services of any kind; audio & video interviews, conferences, seminars, conference calls, focus group meetings, dissertations podcasts; Transcriptionwave should be on top of your contact list.


text: Semiautomatic Generation of Data-Extraction Ontologies from Relational DatabasesOrlando Miguel Vivan, Carlos Alberto HeuserSBBD2002Data extraction is the process used to gather and structure information in documents (e.g.Web pages). One approach to data extraction is the so-called ontology based data extraction. In this approach, an ontology is used as a guide to the parser that extracts data from the source documents. In this context, an ontology is a conceptual schema enriched with… (More)

It can be hard to keep up.
There's a lot of great information out there, but who has the time to keep up with all these trends? At the same time, if you work with populations like Young Adults, Tweens, or Emerging Adults, how can you afford not to? After all, this is where they are at and this is the world they live in. If you do not inhabit it, you risk failing to meet the needs of your patrons. You risk becoming irrelevant.
People ask every day, "Do we still need libraries?"
You want the answer to be a resounding "Yes!" And, yes, of course they do! Not only because reports of the books' demise were greatly over-exaggerated, but because of the other things libraries can provide. We can provide training, digital access, online collections, curated information and serve the ever-growing need for third spaces.
But, again, we cannot do any of this if we cannot keep ahead of the curve.
Just a little less than one year ago, the American Library Association launched its "Libraries Transform" campaign. This campaign identifies many trends which are relevant to the modern day library -- the library that wants to both transform lives and transform itself. These trends include topics you may be intimately familiar with, some that you may be aware of and others with which may not seem familiar at all.
We here at SWON make it our mission to help you keep up. To help you transform. But also to help you build on what you already know and connect it to these new trends, which often rely on good, old-fashioned librarianship. To that end, we are using the "Libraries Transform" trends as our guide for this years' Staff Training Symposium.
All types of library workers from all types of libraries -- from public library associates to academic library managers -- are encouraged to attend this invigorating full-day event to learn about the trends that are driving modern youth and how we can all work together to capitalize on them. We'll be covering subjects from a broad range of ALA-identified trends such as Fandom, being Unplugged, or Income Inequality.
Because you need to know what's next. And because it can be hard to keep up. But we are here to help. Libraries Transform and SWON supports.
See you in September,
~ Cassondra Vick, MLIS
Technology Educator, SWON Libraries
Join us at the Newport Branch of the Campbell County Public Library as we explore ways that libraries can transform using the trends that make up the American Library Association's Libraries Transform Campaign. Follow the event on twitter with #STS16

I'm quite pleased with how straight they came out. I used the same method I did in this tutorial. I also like having my hair at this length, I can wear it loose it it's usual flippy style, or I can put it up in a cute mini-beehive do.
Oh, and that's a bump-it in there. You heard me. A bump-it. They're not just for Jersey Shore prom queen girls anymore...you heard it here first!

The British Rule of India. The British Empire. The Devilfish in Egyptian Waters. How did the British rule India?. It wasn ' t a sudden process Began in 1750s Took full control in 1857

It wasn't a sudden process
Began in 1750s
Took full control in 1857
The East India Company – trading company given exclusive trading rights to India by Queen Elizabeth in 1600, was the main source of connection
A trading relationship at first
Began to take over taxation of people
Used the same system as the previous Mughal empire
Promised "protection" (sounds like the Mob)
In 1850: 300,000 men in army.
Only 50,000 were British
100,000 British men ruling over 200 million Indians (South Africa?)
Two Views of Indian Life
"No, Benjamin. It will never do! You can't improve on the old Queen's Head!"
"No country has ever risen without being purified through the fire of suffering. Mother suffers so her child may live. The condition of wheat-growing is that the grain shall perish. Life comes out of death. Will India rise out of her slavery without fulfilling this eternal law of purification?"
--Mahatma Gandhi
Take up the White Man's burden
Send forth the best ye breed
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.
Take up the White Man's burden--
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit,
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Man's burden--
The savage wars of peace--
Fill full the mouth of Famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to naught.
Take up the White Man's burden
No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go mark them with your living,
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Man's burden
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:--
"Why brought he us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Man's burden--
Ye dare not stoop to less--
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloke your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your gods and you.
Take up the White Man's burden--
Have done with childish days--
The lightly proferred laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!
"Mr. President . . . God has not prepared the English-speaking and Teutonic peoples for a thousand years for nothing but vain and idle self-contemplation and self-admiration. No! He has made us the master organizers of the world to establish system where chaos reigns . . . He has made us adepts in government that we may administer government among savage and senile peoples . . . He has marked the American people as His chosen nation to finally lead in the regeneration of the world. This is the divine mission of America . . . The Philippines are ours forever. We will not repudiate our duty in the archipelago. We will not abandon our opportunity in the Orient. We will not renounce our part in the mission of our race, trustee, under God, of the civilization of the world."

Hi all,
From time to time I've seen posted here books on nutrition and books for understanding cancer. I just read, "Help me live: 20 things people with cancer want you to know" by Lori Hope (her real name). Lori is a lung cancer survivor and the book relates her personal stories as well as stories from patients, doctors, psychologists, and cancer group facilitators. I think she got her "20 things" right and suggest this for anyone newly diagnosed, but especially for caregivers, family, and friends to help them understand what we're going through. You can find it on Amazon.com
Thanks Howard!
I would bet that between all of us, we can always be listing something very worthwhile to read. Have a great weekend.

Actually, I encourage competition but if you back stab and leave four letter words anonymous comments without realising I can track and report you, I still wish you all the best. You know why? Because hurting it will be when rivalry comes is different ways for different people. The only person I compete with is myself especially with such get going recipes. Previously the Fried Prawn Wanton, Chicken Wanton Soup and Prawn Wanton Soup and those are still running strong as the competitors to these fried wanton - wanton skin bundled with minced prawns, carrot, chives and spring onion.

macOS 10.12.2 fixes an issue causing Time Machine backups and large data transfers to crash the new MacBook Pro
Along with a slew of other issues new MacBook Pro customers are having, macOS 10.12.2 will fix an issue where large data transfers or Time Machine Backups would crash the machine. Whether it was via an external hard drive or SSD, it would cause the machine to crash when connected via Thunderbolt 3 port.
The news comes in form of a response a MacRumors Forums member allegedly received from Craig Federighi. The Apple exec apologized for the inconvenience and confirmed that the issue has been fixed in the latest build of macOS 10.12.2 which was seeded to developers and public beta testers on Monday.
The email has yet to be confirmed though there'd be little reason to believe that the email was faked. However, the issue seems to be fixed regardless.
The email reads:
Hi David,
Sorry for the inconvenience!
We we have indeed fixed this issue in the latest Sierra public beta (10.12.2, available at beta.apple.com).
– craig
Federighi didn't go into great detail on what was going on or how it was fixed but it's likely a USB/Thunderbolt 3 driver update that may have fixed the issue.
Regardless, macOS 10.12.2 will be a free update to the public when it arrives later this month. For now, users who are experiencing the issue can either wait for the public release or update to the beta.

Philips today announced a rather interesting new breakthrough navigation technology meant for minimally invasive spine surgery for use in their "hybrid ORs." The ORs themselves are specialized for procedures like spine surgery and contain an integrated fluoroscopy unit with 3D reconstructions like that seen in technologies like the O-arm.
The new navigation technology combines an optical tracking system with the CT-like functionality of the fluoro unit. This provides 3-dimensional navigation functionality much like that seen in Medtronic's Stealth station or Brainlab's large library of products.
The specific feature Philips is promoting is its "augmented reality" functionality. There are additional cameras attached to the fluoroscopy unit that combine images of the patient's anatomy with the 3-dimensional imaging, outputting the result on a high resolution monitor. This theoretically gives the surgeon a better idea of where in the patient's anatomy he should be initiating his pedicle screw placement while also taking advantage of the 3D navigation to ensure screw accuracy through the pedicle.

Volkswagen says the future of the hard-lidded Eos convertible isn't in question despite the introduction of a new soft-top version of the Golf.
The Eos has long been seen as the unofficial Golf convertible – and it's based on the hatch's underpinnings – but questions were raised when the brand announced it would offer a Golf Cabriolet earlier this year.
A facelifted version of the Eos will arrive within a few weeks. It will be joined in December by the Golf Cabriolet and will also sit alongside the outgoing New Beetle Cabriolet – making a considerably niche segment seem increasingly crowded.
But Volkswagen is confident the Eos will remain a popular choice because its folding metal hard-top gives it a point of difference from the soft-top Cabriolet models.
The brand's local spokesman Karl Gehling says the fact there will be three small convertibles available by the end of this year isn't a concern.
"The Eos still offers a unique position with the hard-top that you don't get with the Golf Cabriolet," says Gehling. "So it has a specific product appeal and unique styling, too.
"They're all very unique vehicles," he says. "These cars all look different and offer different ranges of engines and transmissions."
The current Eos is available with the GTI-sourced 2.0-litre turbocharged 155kW petrol engine or a 103kW 2.0-litre turbo-diesel, while the New Beetle Cabriolet makes use of a previous generation 2.0-litre non-turbo engine producing 85kW.
Engine choices for the Golf Cabriolet have not yet been announced, however it is likely to be offered with a range of engines including a 1.2-litre turbo, 1.4-litre turbo- and supercharged engine, a 2.0-litre turbo petrol and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel.
The next-generation Beetle, unveiled last month, will spawn another Cabriolet version, expected to be revealed in early 2012.

We sat down and watched Flock of Dodos recently and we recommend this movie. It's a documentary about the American culture war to teach creationism and creationism's cousin, intelligent design, as basic science, on a par with the science regarding Darwin's thoughts on natural selection and the origin of species.
It's a film by an evolutionary biologist, so it definitely leans toward respect for the scientific method and that does not bode well for the creationists, but the filmmaker expended a fair amount of effort making the point that the scientists are wonderfully inept at conveying the science.
In the end it becomes clear that there are dodos on both sides of the argument. The creationists are hoping to hang on to the notion that there is a controversy about natural selection and the origin of species despite the scientific record and the evolutionary scientists sputter, pontificate, talk over each other in a way that makes it painfully clear that the scientists wouldn't know a talking point if it evolved or was created right in front of them.
The even-handed and friendly approach of the film-maker made all of the characters on both sides of the controversy seem likable. The message of the film could teach both sides to bring a little more rigor to the public presentation. The creationists might want to base their presentation on facts, they might be better served not to say that a discredited scientific set of plates known as Haeckel's Embryology are showing up in every textbook and being taught every day unless they can find a textbook in use today that actually presents Haeckel's work as useful in understanding biology.
And the evolutionary scientists might want to take a simple communication class or two from time to time so that they can figure out how to present their science in simple language when the situation calls for that.
I think that's a hard one for the scientists because the interesting areas of science are the areas of controversy, the cutting edge of knowledge, the work where things are not certain and when enthusiastic scientists talk about their work, they usually talk about the stuff they are working on right now, largely settled areas of science are not attracting large numbers of publication submissions.
Darwin was not anxious to publish his thoughts and science on natural selection and the origin of species. He understood that the science would be challenging the creation story in much the same way that early astronomers got in trouble when their observation indicated that the earth orbited the sun and not the other way around. That argument appears to be generally settled these days and the settlement of the astronomical "controversy" suggests that someday there may no longer be a need for an assault on the sciences based on Darwin's work and the body of science that has followed Darwin's publication regarding natural selection and the origin of the species, but we are clearly not there yet.
I hope this film will be shown in basic high school science classes as a lesson in the need to present facts accurately and also as a lesson that scientists need to remember to step back from their cutting edge work when the occasion calls for it and to communicate clearly about science and the scientific method.

The Winds of Dune (Heroes of Dune #2)
With their usual skill, Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson have taken ideas left behind by Frank Herbert and filled them with living characters and a true sense of wonder. Where Paul of Dune picked up the saga directly after the events of Dune, The Winds of Dune begins after the events of Dune Messiah. Paul has walked off into the sand, blind, and is presumed dead. Jessica and Gurney are on Caladan; Alia is trying to hold the Imperial government together with Duncan; Mohiam dead at the hands of Stilgar; Irulan imprisoned. Paul s former friend, Bronso of Ix, now seems to be leading opposition to the House of Atreides. Herbert and Anderson s newest book in this landmark series will concentrate on these characters as well the growing battle between Jessica, and her daughter, Alia.

Nimes Travel Blog› entry 3 of 13 › view all entries
Today myself, Dr.Bell (the program director), and 5 other uga students went to Nimes and the Pont du Gard.
We took an early train out of Montpellier and rode for about half an hour to Nimes, an old town in the same deparment (french "departments" are comparable to our counties in the states) as Montpellier - Languedoc-Roussillon. There is this amazing old Roman arena in Nimes, that is the second biggest after the Collesium in Rome, and the best preserved! Audio guides were included with our entrance to the arena, so I learned lots of interesting things. For instance, did you know that the word "arena" is the latin word for "sand"...thus, "arena" is a reference to the sand that creates the floor of the arena itself, that was there to soak up the blood of the gladiators and Christians who were executed?
The Pont du Gard is an old Roman aqueduct built c.
Tomorrow, we are going to "la plage" (the beach). Oh, and the verdict on the beaches here? OK. Not the gulf. But let's just be honest, there's nothing like the gulf.

Boise, July 21, 2010 - Dozens of Boise
neighborhoods are hauling out the bar-b-ques and lawn chairs and
gathering folks together to celebrate safe neighborhoods! It all
happens Tuesday, August 3rd for National Night Out, a night set
aside each year to promote Neighborhood Watch programs.
"Alert citizens watching out for each
other and their neighborhood is the best way we know of to prevent
and stop crimes." said Boise Chief of Police Michael Masterson."We
very much appreciate the support and cooperation citizens give to
"I can say with confidence that the
success we've had with decreasing crime rates and increased safety
of our community is thanks to the strong partnership between
officers and employees of this department and our citizens and
Neighborhood Watch groups," said Chief Masterson. "All of us should
celebrate the success of those partnerships."
It's still not too late to organize a
party for National Night Out, and it's always the right time to
organize a Neighborhood Watch group in your neighborhood. For
more on both, contact the Boise Police Neighborhood Watch

Senior Patrol Agent David Webb was killed in a single-vehicle accident.
Agent Webb was driving a Border Patrol vehicle on Arizona 86, about 17 miles east of Ajo, on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation in Pima County, about 5 pm when his vehicle's right rear tire blew out and he lost control. The vehicle left the roadway and rolled once. He sustained massive head and internal injuries, even though he was wearing his seat belt, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Agent Webb had served the Border Patrol for just under 3 years. He was also an Army National Guard veteran. He is survived by his wife, two young sons, parents, and three sisters.

Now, I'm not entirely sure what this is all about. But it seems Disney has invested quite a bit of time and resources into figuring out how to basically turn anything into a spinning top.
Presumably, this was all done in order to inform the development of more practical things such as robotics, animation and animatronics. But for the time being we do at least get a rather impressive video which illustrates how much effort goes into creating a simple spinning top. Take a look below:
Spinning tops and yo-yos have long fascinated cultures around the world with their unexpected, graceful motions that seemingly elude gravity. We present an algorithm to generate designs for spinning objects by optimizing rotational dynamics properties. As input, the user provides a solid 3D model and a desired axis of rotation. Our approach then modifies the mass distribution such that the principal directions of the moment of inertia align with the target rotation frame. We augment the model by creating voids inside its volume, with interior fill represented by an adaptive multi-resolution voxelization. The discrete voxel fill values are optimized using a continuous, nonlinear formulation. Further, we optimize for rotational stability by maximizing the dominant principal moment. We extend our technique to incorporate deformation and multiple materials for cases where internal voids alone are insufficient. Our method is well-suited for a variety of 3D printed models, ranging from characters to abstract shapes. We demonstrate tops and yo-yos that spin surprisingly stably despite their asymmetric appearance.
Again, I'm still not entirely sure what this is all leading to, but it just goes to show that Disney do their research before embarking on a project.
Which was your favorite spinning top?
