Creating new habits
What is it they say you have to do something thirty times to create a habit? Though the word habit always makes me think of chewing nails (I don't by the way!) or drinking too much tea (I probably do!) I am trying to create little habits that are beneficial (though obviously tea drinking is!). I thought about this post last night simply because one new habit since moving house and getting a table and chairs … Read entire article »

Macaroni cheese with a crispy top.
Saturday evenings we often had Macaroni cheese for supper when I was growing up. My Mum usually added tomatoes and onions and sometimes bacon. I now like to add a mix of breadcrumbs cheese and herbs for a crispy topping so here is my recipe for what I think is a great filling family meal. Macaroni Cheese with a crispy top You will need to make the macaroni bake for 4-6 people: 400g Macaroni 1 onion sliced 1 garlic clove … Read entire article »

Really easy veggie bean burgers
I did used to be vegetarian and I still really enjoy veggie food, and like to have at least 3 veggie meals a week. Veggie meals served up here can be hit and miss with the rest of the gang, in particular Oscar. Despite him rarely eating meat when he was little and being the biggest salad loving child I know, veggie food has to be extra tempting to get a thumbs up. As most … Read entire article »

Meal Planning Monday
I have not felt like meal planning as such the last few weeks but we have had some nice meals and trying hard to stick to a budget. This weeks plan is based on favourites I know will get eaten up, mostly easy to do. Except the Quiche, which once made always grateful I did make it but sometimes trying to make gluten-free pastry behave itself can be a challenge that has been known to make me cry!!! Popped to our local farm shop yesterday and got some lovely young leeks and gorgeous looking Russian (but grown here!) Kale so tonight will use some of the leeks and Kale. So my menu this week, though I may well chop and change the days around looks like this: Monday: Chicken and leek casserole … Read entire article »

tick tock bang...time to leave0 Reviews
Gerard sits alone, he feels alone, till he comes staggering back home. P.S. if you don't like smut then please don't read. R&R!
I sat on my bed, sighed as I looked out of the window, a dog barking, people shouting, the street lamps guiding many along the street. One of those many must be him. Staggering home from a club, probably from a bar fight or being kicked out for being pissed. I don't blame them. I don't know how I can still put up with him for four whole years. It has been a drag, at felt amazing but now he comes home pissed, he hits me, attacks me, even rapes me, or forces me in to sex, I may agree to it but I hate every minute of it. I cried as he thrusted himself in and out of me, hoping it will end quickly.
I heard the front door of the flat slam shut. I jumped at the sight of him staggering into the bedroom.
"How s-sweet, you're watin for me," he slurred.
I sighed. I know what he wanted.
"Come on, lets make it quick," he said. Make it quick, it sound like I'm a whore who he wants a quick fuck in the park.
"I don't want to," I said.
"You fucking will bitch, you will or I'll kill you," he said.
"Please Ray," I muttered.
He slapped me.
"Let me fuck you or I'll break your neck," he said.
I lay down on the bed.
I heard he zipper been pulled down, I heard his trousers hit the floor.
"Get your clothes off then," he slurred.
I didn't argue, I knew if I did he would attack me till I was so much in pain that he could take advantage of me. I took all my clothes off, exposing all my bruises from him, only a day old. I turned to see that he was naked and waiting for me. I lay on the bed, he straddled me. I looked at him, he is still so beautiful, but his eyes were bright red and looked sore, I remember when I use to kissed his neck, and he chest. But now it was just a quick fuck, nothing more, nothing less.
He covered his cock in spit then shoved it into me. Thrusting in and out as I screamed.
"Scream my name," he panted.
I didn't look at him, I had my head facing to the right as the tears rolled down my face.
"Scream my name bitch, or are you screaming someone else's name when they are fucking you?" he asked.
"No Ray, I don't let anyone do that to me except you," I said softly.
"Well then scream my name over and over again," he panted.
"Ray!" I screamed.
"Yeah baby, that right, do it again whore, scream it bitch," he said.
"Ray!" I screamed. He hit my spot.
"Fuck Ray, you hit it!" I screamed, he hadn't hit my spot in ages.
"Beg me bitch, beg me to hit it over and over," he said.
"Please Ray, God you haven't done it in ages, please Ray," I begged.
"You're my bitch aren't you? You're a fucking whore, a little slut, you beg like one and moan like one, but you're my one aren't you?" he asked.
"Yes! Yes! I'm your slut and whore, just please Ray, I love it when you hit it," I said, I did sound desperate, but it was the only pleasure I was getting that I hadn't had in months.
"Because you're my bitch, and I haven't seen you do this for ages without me forcing myself on you, I will, just this once," he said.
He hit it over and over, harder and harder, faster and faster.
"Fuck Ray!" I screamed. I came after that. He soon followed. He collapsed next to me, his face in the pillow. This was my chance, to see if what he just did proved that he loved me.
"Ray?" I asked. He groaned, but didn't move his face from the pillow.
"Do you love me?" I asked. He looked up at me.
"I'm going to have a shower, then a drink," he said.
That just proved it to me, before he hit the drink, before he was violent, he would always answer that question with a simple yes. But now I didn't get a yes, nor a no. That showed me that he didn't love me, I was just this thing that he could take it out on.
I put my clothes on and got a bag out, I packed everything I needed, clothes, shoes, money, just everything I needed.
I got a piece of paper and a pen and wrote:
dear Ray,
Before you drank, you was the most amazing boyfriend in the world, I loved you so much, you were so special to me. But now you attack, abuse and take advantage of me. I asked you if you love me, you couldn't even answer that. Just go clean yourself up, get help for the drink and violence, till then don't bother me.
Love Gerard x
I left it on the table by a box of painkillers. I ran, ran from him, from my home and when straight outside, where it was raining, I got in the car and drove, I don't know why but I ended up at my parent's. I stared at the house, grabbed my bag and ran to the house. I knocked on the door, my mom opened the door.
"Gerard!" she shouted.

Landscape Condition Assessments
Landscape condition assessments identify green infrastructure that provides important ecosystem services such as natural flood storage, pollutant filtering, fish & wildlife habitat, and carbon storage.
The Nature Conservancy's Active River Area (PDF) (64 pp, 4.49 MB, About PDF)
The active river area framework offers a more holistic vision of a river than solely considering the river channel as it exists in one place at one particular point in time. The Active River Area represents the lands that contain both aquatic and riparian habitats and those that contain processes that interact with and contribute to a stream or river channel over time. Mapping the active river area, including intact headwaters and largest intact riparian area (e.g. the Connecticut River), provides a way to assess the aquatic component of green infrastructure.
Southeastern Ecological Framework Project
The EPA Southeastern U.S. Ecological Framework Project uses landscape ecology principles and GIS technology to identify a network of green infrastructure connecting primary ecological areas. The approach is intended to be used by states and local communities as a decision-making tool.
Chesapeake Bay Resource Lands Assessment
The Resource Lands Assessment provides a regional multi-state look at the most important remaining resource lands in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The RLA uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) models and expert knowledge to assess the value of resource lands within the watershed.

Help Daniel
I'm currently uploading RC1 for Super Robot Space Fight! I'll probably find something wrong with this build once I actually manage to test it with four people on an OUYA, but I'm pumped that I finished the campaign/co-op, versus, and tutorial modes by my personal deadline. I poured a good chunk of hours into it over the last few days in an attempt to be free for development on Cloudbase Prime next week :).
I spent far more time on SRSF than I'd originally intended to, although its scope is still pretty tame. Hopefully I'll have a release build available on the OUYA store soon, but that depends on when I can fully test this thing.
I took some surprisingly good photos of Tonto Natural Bridge with my phone over the weekend. It's a gorgeous place.
We made a black IPA and named the brew after a friend in honor of his visit. It's good stuff, but a bit strong to drink 12 oz at a time.
I had a bit too much fun making the labels last night. The Fell Types are digitally reproduced by Igino Marini.
(click to zoom)
Intended to spend an hour practicing my lady drawing since I'm pretty bad at drawing people in general, especially ladies. Didn't quite work out, but it feels good to draw.
Lunchtime football rescue. Hopefully my tumblr doesn't turn into a moth blog.
Apparently big sleepy moths don't mind cameras being shoved in their faces.
Happy St. Patty's Day!
After CREATE: one more distraction, and then back to Cloudbase Prime.
Welp, SUPER ROBOT SPACE FIGHT! didn't make it into the CREATE finals. I'm mighty tempted to just drop it and lock down all of my home dev time for Cloudbase Prime. It's been a good eight months since 7DFPS and I've probably managed to spend about three months on Cloudbase Prime. Help Daniel, Hellbear 2000, Ludum Dare 25, getting an OUYA dev kit and working on CREATE… it's been a busy time.
I can't particularly justify this decision. I'm going to keep working on SUPER ROBOT SPACE FIGHT!. It'll probably be less ambitious now, but my ass will still be plenty busted getting this out by the OUYA's April launch.
Then I'll work on Cloudbase Prime again. I hope.
Here's a wallpaper of SUPER ROBOT SPACE FIGHT!'s title page.
Also, I posted a painfully verbose post mortem of the game on /r/gamedev and its CREATE entry page is officially up now. I'm excited to see how this goes, although I'll admit to having my doubts about rating entries based partially on their social push on YouTube/FaceBook/Twitter. I'm generally not very good at those.
The trailer's doing pretty well on YouTube, though, so thanks for that!
I did actually manage to relax quite a bit the weekend after the jam. I truly binged on Ni No Kuni. That game is excellent. World, writing, art: it's all there in a delightful love letter to classic JRPGs. Also, my chubby pet bat can evolve into Captain Whamtastic, so that's good.
OUYA CREATE Game Jam, Day 11:
Submitted! I think. I got a screen saying "We're honored you took the time to enter." after trying a couple times and watching a progress bar complete. Some sort of further confirmation would make me feel a bit better, but I'm still super pumped to be done!
Today I just worked on the menu screens and did a couple test matches of the game with my wife before filming about 6 minutes of gameplay for the trailer. I cut it down at the points where the music loops so it's nice and smoove :P.
I did a lot of work on this, but it would've been a lot harder to make something this nice without folks like Kevin MacLeod, Arruku, and Jorick Bronius putting out quality audio and icon work with friendly CC Attribution 3.0 licenses. Nymphont's stylish fonts were also available with a very reasonable commercial license.
Working on an in-progress console was a challenging and exciting thing; being able to talk with the developers behind the OUYA Unity package directly helped a ton. Those guys are doing some good work, and it feels like the community's helping a lot with the testing during this jam.
The amount that I bugged my wife the last couple days was somewhat terrible. "Aaangie can you play the game for another video?" "Angie I need someone else to move the other player to make sure the AI chase code is improved now," and there she is studying for her math doctorate comprehensive exams. Her feedback and help were excellent. This game would have been notably worse without it. It also would have been a lot less fun to test by myself :P.
OUYA CREATE Game Jam, Day 10:
The game is done! I'll be prettying up the start menu tomorrow along with some last minute testing, but that's probably about it. I've gotta leave myself lots of time to make the required trailer tomorrow!
The main additions today were two floating UFOs you need to attack and kill to win the game.
My wife and I tested out the game quite a bit. Some really good AI improvements were made as a result, and one pretty nasty bug where the next round would run crazy slow some times.
The desktop I'm working on was out of commission for a bit today while I installed new video drivers on it to fix some pretty nasty crash issues I was running into, so I recorded about 36 different sounds for the game today. Most of the sounds were just me saying goofy lines for the robots. There are hit sounds, but there actually aren't weapon sounds still because of how much shootin' is generally going on in the game. You wouldn't be able to hear anything else! The hit sounds give you most of the feedback you'd need, anyhow.
When I first imported the sounds into my Unity game and sent it to the OUYA, everything tanked and ran terribly slow. Fortunately, setting them all to decompress on load saved my arse. I'm still not sure if the original "compressed in memory" setting is really that much slower on this device. It could just be that decompressing all of that audio finally got the Android OS to give me a bigger chunk of memory to play with :P.

Katie Warren Offers Worshipful Pop with Gentle Whispers
- Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Artist: Katie Warren
Title: Gentle Whispers
Label: Independent
Conjuring up the passionate deliveries of signature vocalists like Christy Nockels and Susan Ashton, Texas-based singer/songwriter Katie Warren expertly weaves through 12 songs that both question and confirm her sincere faith. Part worship, part pop, Warren frequently leads worship at Houston's mega-Second Baptist Church, proving her performance aptitude. And though she can belt with the best, Gentle Whispers is lyrically a bit dry. Even still, Warren's quiet prowess on softer tunes such as "Lullaby" warrants this new artist and her nicely knit debut encore recognition.
WE LIKE: "Gentle Whisper"

Family Lawyers in Trouble; Recent Ethics Decisions
As matrimonial attorneys in difficult financial times, with evolving and varied legal issues and having to deal with nasty litigants and opposing counsel, it is always important to not cross the line between ethical and unethical behavior. Domestic relations lawyers are often a target of disciplinary complaints given the fiery emotions unveiled in these cases. The following takes a look at various lawyer disciplinary cases decided around the country recently. Many of these cases involved domestic relations but not all of them. Obviously a lot of these areas of misconduct are "no brainers" but it is interesting to see the sorts of things that are catching the eye of disciplinary commissions around the nation.
In Illinois some of the recent disciplinary decisions are found in a summary of such cases published by the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission. I learned of the cases from other states courtesy of the American Bar Association Journal and the Legal Profession Blog. If the state is not identified, the discipline took place in Illinois.
I. Conflict of interest and neglect are a major problem:
II. Disciplinary sanctions also follow charges, conduct or convictions of criminal activity in some instances:
III. Many sanctions have involved conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty, misrepresentation or lack of candor:
IV. Of course, numerous disciplinary actions concern the issue of attorney's fees:
It also seems when there are fee issues, that failure to pay restitution ends up hurting the lawyer in the disciplinary process.
V. Commingling and conversion is a serious problem as well:
VI. Lawyers who continue to practice despite being suspended, obviously risk further disciplinary action:
VII. Disciplinary agencies have now begun to impose discipline for personal misconduct unrelated to the practice of law:
Also for lawyers considering this, the North Carolina State Bar may be issuing an opinion that says that it is unethical for a lawyer to offer bargains through Groupon.
Of course the severity of some of the penalties imposed depended on whether or not this was a first offense.
The consequences of many of these lawyers' conduct appears self-evident, but since there seem to be so many incidents of varying conduct, it never hurts to periodically make oneself aware. In domestic cases make sure your conflicts checks are accurate as that seems to be an increasing problem (in other words, both spouses interviewing with the same lawyer or firm). Neglect is another problem area. If you are too busy to properly deal with a difficult family law case, refer it to someone who has the time or bring them in as co-counsel. And since these cases also touch on other areas of the law such as bankruptcy, corporate law and real estate, make sure you are equipped with the knowledge to handle the case. And beware of clients who lie and understand the ethical rules in your state concerning what to do.

Calix is my darling little wine fiend doll, based very loosely on the japanese folklore creature called a shōjō and the fact that when I saw his faceup for the first time he made me think of that evil little voice inside your head that tells you things are great ideas when you're drunk. Mischievous little sot!
I realised the other day I had never had a photo shoot with him, which makes me pretty dreadful since I've had him for years, but I thought I'd make up for that today.

The Avett Brothers
North Carolina boys have toned down the punky hootenanny aspects of their music on the recent major label debut, "I and Love and You." The minute you think you're missing it though, you notice how brilliant the songs and those perfect harmonies still are. The Avett Brothers are simply one of the best live acts making the rounds these days. Their joyous shows are a testament to the mood-transforming power of music.
8 p.m. Sept. 10. $25-$35. Chastain Park Amphitheater, 4469 Stella Drive N.W., Atlanta. 404-733-4949.
4th Ward Afro-Klezmer Orchestra
The sprawling jazz orchestra is exploring some new musical territory, playing original compositions and arrangements that meld West African-influenced rhythms with Eastern European klezmer melodies (all stirred into a melting pot full of disparate musical ideas). The ensemble includes a slew of musicians from other local bands. Trumpeter Roger Ruzow (of Gold Sparkle Band and many other adventurous Atlanta outfits) leads the ensemble.
9:45 p.m. Sept. 10. The Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge, 644 N. Highland Ave., Atlanta. 404-874-5756.
Ernesto Tamayo
This Cuban guitarist began studying with his father at age 5. He came to the U.S. in 1995 and made his Carnegie Hall debut just four years later. With six albums to his credit (ranging from the music of Bach to traditional tunes from his native Cuba), he's played sold-out shows all over the world, from Thailand to Spain.
8 p.m. Sept. 10. $23-$30. Rialto Center for the Arts, 80 Forsyth St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-651-4727.
Charlie Wilson, Angie Stone
Former Gap Band vocalist Charlie Wilson's latest album, "Uncle Charlie," included collaborations with Babyface, T-Pain, Snoop Dogg and Jamie Foxx. R&B singer Stone has been flying just under the radar for most of her career, which dates all the way back to the early '80s hip-hop trio the Sequence. The Columbia, S.C., native is a polished performer, though, as she demonstrated in a technical difficulty-plagued set at Music Midtown back in 2004. Even when the sound system failed her, she kept the audience singing along.
8 p.m. Sept. 11. $25-$69. Chastain Park Amphitheatre, 4469 Stella Drive N.W., Atlanta. 404-733-4949.
Justin Townes Earle
This show marks Earle's third Atlanta appearance this year, but we'll welcome him to town as many times as he's willing to show up. This talented young singer-songwriter was named in honor of Texas songwriting legend Townes Van Zandt. That's a lot to live up to, but he just keeps getting better. His latest album, "Midnight at the Movies," is a stunning display of his songwriting prowess, packed with the grit and glory of hard living, recounted with warmth and wit. It's what country music would sound like if Nashville hadn't lost its soul.
8 p.m. Sept. 11. $18; $15 in advance. Smith's Olde Bar, 1578 Piedmont Road, Atlanta. 404-875-1522.
Jon Anderson
Most folks probably think of Jon Anderson as the high-voiced, curly-haired pixie that fronted Yes. But he's also had a long and varied solo career that demonstrates his formidable melodic talents. Of course, those with an aversion to lyrical hippie-babble should look elsewhere. Take, for example, the opening couplet from "Close to the Edge" (an early '70s Yes song I'm actually very fond of): "A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace, and rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace."
8 p.m. Sept. 12. $30; $27.50 advance. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-524-7354.
Adam Lambert
The flamboyant, big-voiced "American Idol" runner-up proved such a draw that, after the Symphony Hall show sold out, another Atlanta date was added tomorrow at the Tabernacle. Lambert will be joined by fellow "Idol" finalist Allison Iraheta.

Kings of Leon, the Black Keys
Since Tennessee boys Kings of Leon last hit Atlanta in October 2009, they took a few months off to finish up a new album ("Come Around Sundown," set for an Oct. 19 release) and returned to the road in June. They've brought along the Black Keys, a band you've heard if you've seen HBO's "Hung." The Ohio drums-and-guitar duo's "I'll Be Your Man" is the show's theme song. The Black Keys started by honing rock 'n' roll down to its greasy, grimy essence. Even with the wider palette of sound on 2008's "Attack & Release" and this year's "Brothers," the music these guys make still has a heart of pure musky blues. Athens trio the Whigs opens the show.
7:30 p.m. Sept. 15. $29.50-$54.50. Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood, 2002 Lakewood Way, Atlanta. 404-443-5000.
Luke Doucet
If you know the name Luke Doucet at all, you know it because he's Sarah McLachlan's guitarist. He's a brilliant, under-the-radar talent making fine albums such as the heart-rending "Broken (and other rogue states)" and his latest, "Steel City Trawler," which includes the "Ballad of Ian Curtis," a striking, sad ode to the late Joy Division singer. Amid the ache and alcohol, his music brims with memorable turns of phrase, melodies that caress and Doucet's beautifully understated guitar work. He opens a show that also includes The Deep Dark Woods and the Dirty Souls.
8 p.m. Sept. 16. $10; $8 advance. Smith's Olde Bar, 1578 Piedmont Road, Atlanta. 404-875-1522.
Dean Wareham plays Galaxie 500
Dean Wareham's long career includes Velvet Underground-influenced bands Galaxie 500 and Luna, the latter including bassist and now wife Britta Phillips. Phillips is along for these shows, too, which come just a few months after the reissue of Galaxie 500's still-thrilling trio of albums, originally release between 1988 and 1990: "Today," "On Fire" and "This Is Our Music."
8:30 p.m. Sept. 16; 9 p.m. Sept. 17. $20; $18 advance. The EARL, 488 Flat Shoals Ave., Atlanta. 404-522-3950.

New Year's Resolutions are the worst. Who wants to exercise when you could just lay on the couch and eat Cooler Ranch Doritos while watching reruns of Three's Company? Fortunately for you, I know some shortcuts. Follow these tips and you'll be a better you in no time!
-Lose Weight: Always a popular resolution. Losing weight can be hard; no one wants to start running, eat vegetables, or find a new host body like Star Jones did. Losing weight is actually quite easy. All you need is crystal meth. Once you become addicted, you won't worry about eating anymore, or even other trivial things like work or family.Your new found addiction will take care of any excess weight you might have gained over the holiday season.
Now you may be asking, "where do I find crystal meth?" You might also be wondering, "how does he know what I'm thinking?" I have answers to both questions. First: did your town used to have a Hollywood Video? Try there. Ask for Rick. Second: I was struck by lightning when I was 8 years old and developed the power to read people's minds.
If you can't find crystal meth, crack will do in a pinch. Another alternative is selling body parts on the black market. Those things have to weigh something and do you really need your ring finger or lower intestines?
-Find a mate: Relationships are hard. They take a lot of work and compromise and let's face it, no one wants to do either of those things. You know what doesn't take work or compromise? Mail order brides. You can get quality brides from Russia, Ukraine, or if you're really adventurous, Bulgaria.
For a couple thousand dollars, you can skip years of courtship and effort and just get married. Plus, your new bride will be Eastern European, where life expectancy for females is 25 years. It's like buying a dog! When one dies you can just bury it in the backyard and get another one. Also similar to dogs, you get to name them.
-Travel the world: Everyone wants to travel the world, but only rich white kids who want to "find themselves" after college get to do it. Traveling can be extremely expensive, so many experts suggest doing a "staycation," but did you know Hitler coined that term shortly before he killed himself? Saving up for a trip to Europe can take decades, provided you do things like pay bills and taxes (I've been living off the grid for years). But there is a shortcut: sell your children.
Kids are the worst and always ruin vacations anyway. Kids between the ages of 6-16 can fetch a pretty good price on the black market. You should be able to fund a full week long tour of Europe for just the price of two kids. But if you sold your kids on the black market and are still in need of a little cash, try selling one of your kids' friends. Do you really think little Jeffy's parents are going to miss him? Have you ever seen parents at the mall with their young child. They have a dead look in their eyes that normally only strippers and people eating a Denny's have. They'll probably thank you. You may even get a parade.
-Make a difference in someone's life: A lot of people see this as helping someone less fortunate than themselves. But read the title dipshits. You don't have to help someone to change their life. You can do literally anything, as long as it alters the course of someone's life in some way. This can be something as simple as shaking a baby.
My suggestion is the following: Dress up in a Big Bird costume and drive to your local supermarket. Hide on a self behind a few boxes of Easy Mac and when someone tries to grab one, crawl out and punch them in the face. That person will likely be terrified by what happened. They'll never be able to look at Sesame Street the same way. At the very least you'll have prevented them from buying Easy Mac, which is good because that stuff is disgusting.
-Get in shape: One word, well it's more of an acronym, but still: HGH. Hope you don't mind shrunken testicles or an elongated face (in the medical profession they call that a "Sarah Jessica Parker").
There, you should be set for a good 2012. I'm available as a life coach, but I only accept payment in Chuck E. Cheese tokens. Happy New Year everyone!

Different types of acne - Senile (solar) Comedones
Key points
Senile (solar) comedones are blackheads that appear around the eyes, quite commonly in elderly patients, especially those who have had a high exposure to sunlight during their life. Ultraviolet radiation damage to the dermis can result in distension of sebaceous follicles with keratin blockage and comedone formation.
Hints to diagnosis
Blackheads around the eyes in elderly patients who have had a great deal of exposure to the sun during their life are diagnostic of senile or solar comedones.
Suggested first-line treatment
Topical benzoyl peroxide and/or comedonal extraction.
Suggested second-line treatment
Topical retinoids.
When to refer
The GP should refer if the lesions do not respond to treatment or become widespread.

We are all out here shouting "We Are Here" and nobody can hear us. But if more and more people joined us, we could finally break through the barrier that is keeping us from being heard. The whole idea of #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign is about the need for people to get involved. We need every single person who cares to do something and let their voice join with ours because their one voice might be the one that makes the difference.
In a world where John Green takes up nearly half of the New York Times YA Bestsellers list and can tweet something as innocuous as "The next couple of months are going to be a little nuts around here" to the tune of almost 700 retweets, why aren't more people like him, with enormous social platforms, giving a little time to these conversations? What does he — or any other of a number of well-positioned, socially-connected YA authors (white men and some white women) — stand to lose from addressing these concerns? Would a reblog or a retweet of one of the first of a series of stories kill their career? Or would it help the voices of those who deserve to be heard get that attention?
When we buy into these ideas about boys and reading, we also make a statement about girls and reading. We believe they're automatically readers. They don't need our support or encouragement to be life-long readers because reading is part and parcel of being a girl. Their lives are small, internal. That their interests aren't in non-fiction or sports books or comics and graphic novels. But we send a mixed message here, since girls should be insulted by the idea that they're interested in anything "girly," too.
We've picked 25, now it's your turn!

Genre: Mainstream, General Mainstream Fiction
2002 Best Contemporary Novel Nominee
Advertising executive Cara Ruthledge is having a very bad day. Not only has she been laid off, she discovers that her co-worker boyfriend knew ahead of time and didn't warn her. When a letter arrives from her semi-estranged mother, Lovie, requesting that she come to South Carolina and visit, Cara decides to oblige.
Since her husband's death, Lovie Ruthledge moved down to their beach house on Isle of Palms. For decades she's been an active member of the "Turtle Ladies," who patrol the beaches and help protect the nests of Loggerhead turtles. Dying of cancer, this is Lovie's last summer with the turtles. Besides completing her work, Lovie hopes to reconnect with her daughter and son.
At first Cara is annoyed to discover a pregnant teenager named Toy Sooner living with Lovie, but upon the disclosure of her illness, Cara realizes the benefits. But there's pain, anger and bitter memories between Cara and her mom and trying to build a bridge will not be easy.
With each new book, Mary Alice Monroe continues to cement her growing reputation as an author of power and depth. THE BEACH HOUSE is filled with the agony of past mistakes, present pain and hope for a brighter future. (May, 416 pp., $6.50)

Detecting changes in the mean of functional observations
AbstractPrincipal component analysis has become a fundamental tool of functional data analysis. It represents the functional data as "X" "i" ("t")="μ"("t")+Σ 1≤"l">&infin ; "η" "i", "l" + "v" "l" ("t "), where "μ" is the common mean, "v" "l" are the eigenfunctions of the covariance operator and the "η" "i", "l" are the scores. Inferential procedures assume that the mean function "μ"("t") is the same for all values of "i". If, in fact, the observations do not come from one population, but rather their mean changes at some point(s), the results of principal component analysis are confounded by the change(s). It is therefore important to develop a methodology to test the assumption of a common functional mean. We develop such a test using quantities which can be readily computed in the R package fda. The null distribution of the test statistic is asymptotically pivotal with a well-known asymptotic distribution. The asymptotic test has excellent finite sample performance. Its application is illustrated on temperature data from England. Copyright (c) 2009 Royal Statistical Society.

I've heard the stories, I've seen the post, and I've even seen the losers trying to pass them off as 'rare miss-packaged dolls' on ebay. But I never thought I'd see it in person...
I kind of have to give it to this person. They are tied in their pretty great. I shook it and everything. And at least they picked the same characters? I dunno...I just couldn't stop laughing. I feel bad for the parent/grandparent/relative that buys it not knowing any better for a gift and must deal with the disappointed child.
UPDATED LIST!!!! Alot of new finds in FL!
If you think there is scalpers in your area. But you found a great find and want to help someone out. Then post like how Bobombinable did but on the Group page instead of this forum. That group is set on private.
I got a friend that her daughter wants a MH doll so bad but she won't let her because you thinks it's just evil because all the skulls and what not -_-
Bobombinable said:
I went looking for the Kohl's exclusives yesterday in Tampa and the toy woman, while nice, sneered at me and said that she didn't "approve" of the dolls.
It was really off-putting. I guess she would rather I be buying the creepy looking Bratz dolls, perhaps? :)

As outlined in the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) 2012 Annual Reports, the consolidated net assets increased by $6.5 billion, or 11%, to $64.5 billion during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (fiscal year 2012). PSP Investments generated investment income of $1.7 billion after expenses and received $4.7 billion in net contributions. The total portfolio return for fiscal year 2012 was 3.0%.
The overall performance for fiscal year 2012 was driven primarily by strong results in Fixed Income portfolios, Real Estate, US Large Cap Equity and Private Equity, and was partially offset by the negative performance of public equities in the Canadian, European and Emerging markets. Over the course of the year, PSP Investments reduced its exposure to Public Market equities and increased its exposure to the Private Market and Real Return asset classes.
For fiscal year 2012, returns on Public Markets Equities ranged from negative 9.8% for the Canadian Equity portfolio to 11.4% for the US Large Cap Equity portfolio. The Fixed Income portfolio generated a return of 10.1% while the return for the World Inflation-Linked Bonds portfolio was 15.3% for fiscal year 2012.
In Private Markets, the Real Estate and Private Equity portfolios posted strong investment returns of 13.4% and 7.7%, respectively. The Infrastructure portfolio earned an investment return of 2.7% while the newly created Renewable Resources asset class recorded an investment return of 5.1% for fiscal year 2012.
The asset mix as at March 31, 2012 was as follows: Public Markets Equities 51.0%, Private Equity 10.0%; Nominal Fixed Income and World Inflation-Linked Bonds 22.0%; Real Estate 10.9%, Infrastructure 5.6% and Renewable Resources 0.5%.
For more information about PSP Investments' fiscal year 2012 performance, consult the Public Sector Pension Investment Board 2012 Annual Report on the PSP Investments Annual Reports page.
The Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) is a Crown corporation established to manage employer and employee net contributions since April 1, 2000, to the pension funds of the federal public service, the Canadian Forces and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and since March 1, 2007, of the Reserve Force.

All seven major U.S. Senate candidates have turned in nominating petitions by today's deadline, though two have yet to be certified by Secretary of State Jason Gant.
Candidates had to turn in their nominating petitions to Gant's office in Pierre by 5 p.m. Tuesday – or sent them through the United States Post Office as registered mail by 5 p.m.
As of early evening Tuesday, Gant had certified the petitions of Democrat Rick Weiland, Republicans Stace Nelson, Larry Rhoden and Mike Rounds, and independent Larry Pressler. Republicans Annette Bosworth and Jason Ravnsborg turned in their petitions Tuesday afternoon, but Gant's staff had yet to verify that they contained enough valid signatures.
In other races, both parties will now officially face primaries for governor. Incumbent Gov. Dennis Daugaard, who formally announced his reelection bid Tuesday, will face former state lawmaker Lora Hubbel in the GOP primary, while state Rep. Susan Wismer and former state wildfire chief Joe Lowe will battle in the Democratic primary.
As of Tuesday evening, independent gubernatorial candidate Mike Myers hadn't had his nominating petitions confirmed. Constitution Party gubernatorial candidate Curtis Strong said in an email that he had filed his required petitions.
In the U.S. House race, both incumbent Rep. Kristi Noem, a Republican, and Democratic challenger Corinna Robinson have qualified for the ballot.
Jon Schaff, a political scientist at Northern State University in Aberdeen, said getting enough petitions to get on the ballot – between 1,000 and 2,000, depending on the party and the race – is a simple but important test of a candidate's organization.
"Part of what makes an operation like this credible is, can you do what is essentially a very basic task, which is get petitions signed," Schaff said.
In state legislative races, Republicans continued their trend of contesting more seats across the state – though as of Tuesday evening neither party had candidates for every seat.
Democrats are running for 20 of the 35 seats in the state Senate, and 49 of the 70 seats in the state House. Republicans have candidates in 30 of 35 Senate races, and for 61 of 70 House seats.
More candidates are expected to be added to the ballot in coming days, as more petitions come in through registered mail.
Republicans also have more primary battles for state Legislature. They have more candidates than there are seats in four Senate races and nine House races, compared to one and four, respectively, for the Democrats.
Schaff said Democrats are starting at a disadvantage by not fielding candidates in more races.
"They're conceding to Republicans roughly one-third of the legislature," Schaff said. "It's just like in a football game, you can't spot the other team two touchdowns and expect to win. That's essentially what's happening."
Nielson Brothers Polling has released the second part of their Sioux Falls municipal poll, in which they show incumbent Mayor Mike Huether with a moderate 48-36 lead over challenger Greg Jamison.
I'm still waiting on the full question order and crosstabs from the poll, though it does raise an eyebrow that the poll appears to have asked respondents' opinion about the direction of the city and the two candidates and city council before asking about the head-to-head matchup. Anything you ask respondents before a head-to-head question can influence how they're thinking when the main question comes up.
Heuther, in the poll, has a slightly higher approval rating than Jamison (a lower-profile figure), but also higher disapproval. Subtracting "strongly disapprove" from "strongly approve," Huether is +21 and Jamison is +17.
They also poll the at-large city council races, finding a dead heat in the Christine Erickson-Denny Pierson race, but a firm 34-20-7 lead for incumbent Rex Rolfing over Manny Steele and Emmett Reistroffer in the other at-large race — though both races had high levels of undecided voters.
NBP is still establishing its track record, so it'll be interesting to see how this poll compares to the actual results.
The poll was conducted from March 18 to March 20, via automated push-button response, with between 500 and 600 registered voters responding to different questions.
UPDATE: Some very interesting tidbits in the crosstabs for the poll, which NBP gave me access to.
Here's two, focusing on how voters break down by party affiliation and ideology.
NBP asked respondents whether they were a Democrat, Republican or an independent. Among Democrats, Huether (a Democrat) beats Jamison (a Republican) 61-27. Among Republicans, Jamison has a slender 44-40 lead. Huether leads among independents 42-32. (There were 238 Democrats, 251 Republicans and 80 independents.)
Respondents were also asked if they consider their ideas to be liberal (96 respondents), moderate (168), conservative (196), or aligned with the Tea Party (60).
Among liberals, Huether leads 65-16. He also leads moderates 54-33. The decisive factor is Huether combining that with a 45-37 lead among conservatives. Only among Tea Partiers does Jamison lead, 56-29.
All of that shows why the poll showed a lead for Huether — if Jamison is running as a Republican candidate, he has to do better than a 4-point lead among Republican voters.
I also scrolled down to look at the at large council races for one more tidbit. Overall, Rex Rolfing has a huge lead in the At Large A race, with 34 percent to 20 percent for Manny Steele and 7 percent for Emmett Reistroffer. If you look at the crosstabs by ideology, Rolfing has big leads among moderates and liberals, and a narrow lead among conservatives. But Steele wins Tea Party voters 38-25 — about what you'd expect, given Steele's outspoken conservatism in the state Legislature.
It took to the deadline, but Democrats got their U.S. Senate candidate officially on the ballot. Rick Weiland was certified today for the upcoming election by Secretary of State Jason Gant after turning in around 3,000 signatures Monday — about three times what he needed.
Meanwhile, on the same day Gov. Dennis Daugaard formally announced his reelection bid, Daugaard officially got a primary challenger. Former state Rep. Lora Hubbel qualified for the ballot as well.
U.S. Senate candidate Jason Ravnsborg is apparently turning in his petitions today at 2 p.m.:
BREAKING! #JasonRavnsborg-R-SD will be at Sec. of State, Pierre, 2 p.m. turning in paperwork for U.S. SENATE RUN- PHOTO OP/Q&A— cmdorsey #TCOT (@cmdorsey) March 25, 2014
Ravnsborg's signatures will still have to be verified and every now and then a statewide candidate falls through the cracks.
Several statewide candidates have yet to turn in their petitions, to the best of my knowledge. Three are in the gubernatorial race: Democrat Susan Wismer, independent Mike Myers and Constitution Party candidate Curtis Strong.
U.S. Senate candidate Annette Bosworth also has yet to report turning in her petitions.
Candidates have to turn in their petitions today, either in person at the Secretary of State's office or by sending them via registered mail by the end of the day.
It can take several days for the Secretary of State to certify all the petitions coming in at and after the deadline — and longer if there's a challenge.
On Sunday, stats guru Nate Silver came out with his initial projections for the 2014 U.S. Senate races. The news wasn't great for Democrats; Silver said Republicans were "slight favorites" to win control of the Senate.
Democrats, however, went into full pushback mode:
In an unusual step, the executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on Monday issued a rebuttal [of] the famed statistician's prediction—made a day earlier—that Republicans were a "slight favorite" to retake the Senate. Silver was wrong in 2012, the political committee's Guy Cecil wrote in a memo, and he'll be wrong again in 2014.
Chris Cilizza at the Washington Post notes that the Democratic pushback is so vigorous because of how seriously people take Silver's projections. His models seem firmer than the more qualitative projections by Rothenberg or Cook, Cilizza writes, especially for Democrats:
Know who REALLY listens to what Nate says? Major Democratic donors. They follow his projections extremely closely and, if he says the Senate majority won't be held, they take it as the gospel truth… If the major donor community concludes that spending on the Senate isn't a worthy investment, Cecil and his Democratic colleagues know that their chances of holding the majority get very, very slim. Nate's predictions move money in Democratic circles. Cecil knows that. Hence the memo.
But let's circle back to Silver's initial predictions: he said Republicans are "slight favorites," not that Republicans are going to win. And Silver likewise avoided yes-or-no calls on his races. Even deep blue Rhode Island or deep red Idaho aren't 100 percent locks for their respective parties — Silver has each as a 99 percent chance of victory. Closer stats have closer odds. North Carolina is a 50-50 state. In South Dakota, Silver gives Republicans a 90 percent chance of winning — which means that if you run a bunch of scenarios, one time in 10 the Democrats win the seat. You prefer the GOP's odds there, but 10 percent isn't terrible.
With an amusing lack of self-awareness, Cecil's memo even acknowledges this fact:
Nate Silver and the staff at FiveThirtyEight are doing groundbreaking work, but, as they have noted, they have to base their forecasts on a scarce supply of public polls. In some cases more than half of these polls come from GOP polling outfits. This was one reason why FiveThirtyEight forecasts in North Dakota and Montana were so far off in 2012. In fact, in August of 2012 Silver forecasted a 61% likelihood that Republicans would pick up enough seats to claim the majority. Three months later Democrats went on to win 55 seats.
Cecil points to cases where Silver forecast a percentage likelihood — 61 percent chance Republicans win the Senate, 10 percent chance Democrats win North Dakota's Senate seat — and actual result was the less likely one.
But that's why Silver gives his projections in odds in the first place. Sometimes the long-shot wins. That's why their odds of victory are 10 percent instead of 0 percent.
It's about thinking in terms of probability rather than certainty. Silver writes about probability, and more often than not his probable winners win — because that's what probable winners do, if your sample size is big enough and your model is good enough. But most people don't understand probability. (The continued profitability of gambling and lotteries provides all the evidence you need of that.) More importantly, they don't think probabilistically in their day-to-day lives. Something is or isn't going to happen, and when a respected forecaster like Silver says something is probable, many people think it's certain. Cilizza:
Numbers = certainty for many casual observers of politics. And so, despite Nate's warning about the danger of putting all your eggs in the model's basket at this point in the election, lots and lots of people do exactly that.
Cecil, a professional, probably gets this, but his audience — the Democratic base Cilizza notes as the target audience — doesn't seem to. Or at least Cecil doesn't seem think they do. He's probably right.
A final bit of snark from P.M. Carpenter (via Sullivan):
Should Silver's facts re-shift in favor of Democrats, he will again be hailed by the DSCC as America's one statistician who has never erred.
Stats whiz Nate Silver, who has a good (but not perfect) track record predicting the outcomes of political races, has released his initial forecasts for the 2014 U.S. Senate battle.
Overall, Silver says the Republicans are "slight favorites" to win control of the Senate, and gives them a 90 percent chance to win South Dakota's Democrat-held Senate seat.
Silver notes that this forecast is preliminary and can change rapidly — shifts in the national political environment could give either party an advantage quickly. Further, compared to forecasts he makes closer to the election, he says there's a larger amount of finessing and subjectivity in this early prediction.
Here's what he says about South Dakota:
We also give Republicans a 90 percent chance of winning South Dakota. It's a more straightforward case, except that the presumptive Republican nominee, Gov. Mike Rounds, has been caught up in a controversy over the state's participation in the EB-5 immigration visa program. To have much of a chance, Democrats will either need Rounds to lose the Republican primary or be significantly damaged by it.
So far there's not many signs of that happening. Early voting starts very soon, and Rounds' Republican rivals need to start closing the gap, and quickly, if they want to have a chance at winning.
(Alternately, Rick Weiland or his allies could lend Rounds' intra-party rivals a hand by launching attacks on him now. Advertising in the other party's primary is an unusual tactic but one that has paid dividends in the past — Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill won a tough race in 2012 in part by running ads in the GOP primary that slyly boosted the chances of Todd Akin, the eventual winner her team saw as the weakest candidate. Of course, a wide-open three-way primary isn't the same as a race with a clear favorite, like Rounds is in South Dakota.)
Read Silver's full forecast here.
In this morning's paper, I took a brief look at how the far-away turmoil in Ukraine could affect one group of South Dakotans: wheat farmers, who have seen the price of their commodity skyrocket.
That's because Ukraine is a major wheat producer; if you remove a large amount of supply from the market, the price goes up because demand stays constant.
But the most interesting aspect of the whole story was a comment by one market analyst, Arlan Suderman of Water Street Solutions:
During the Carter era we imposed embargoes against Russia being able to buy our wheat, because back then they were a significant buyer. Well, now they're a major export competitor. There's really not any effective ways of us punishing them using the food crops this time around, which farmers are happy about.
I knew Ukraine was a wheat producer, but I had been under the mistaken impression that Russia still relied on wheat imports. Not so, Suderman said:
I get farmers asking me about that on a regular basis. It's a lack of realizing how much the pendulum has switched from the late 70s to where we are today.
UPDATE: Of course, experts generally conclude Carter's wheat export ban didn't actually have much of an effect on the USSR — though it did affect domestic grain prices, increasing them during the embargo and then sinking them afterwards, contributing to the 1980s farm crisis.

Winds of change
If you've been kind enough to visit my blog a couple of times today you would have noticed that I've been playing around (a bit too much perhaps) with the look, plugins and such around here. Yes my friends, change is upon us yet again. I've just upgraded to WordPress 2.1 and I was getting bored with K2. So I've been looking around for some interesting WordPress themes. Right now I'm using Cutline, which is pretty pretty but there are some little things I don't like yet. So bear with me while I try to figure things out over the next couple of days. Stay tuned!
