Starship Catan
Starship Catan another go. The 2-player version of Settlers' sister game, Starfarers of Catan, I bought Starship Catan several years ago, while full in the flush of the first phase of my Settlers enthusiasm. I've played it a few times since then, finding it quite enjoyable though not as much to my taste as Settlers cards.
I have to say that Starship Catan is one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen. The full colour artwork of the top quality pieces is uniformly stunning, and the pieces themselves are a testament to the way that well-designed cardboard can enjoy visual and informational richness difficult if not impossible to achieve with the often superficially more attractive plastic pieces for which companies like FFG are well known. The overall effect in Starship Catan is of a gothic spacegoing tramp steamer, with a design redolent of the magnificent rockets in Starfarers.
Starship Catan features 2 ships of the Catan space fleet racing to find their way back to their own galaxy having got lost through a wormhole. The play is procedural. That is to say: you aren't moving pieces around a map here; rather you are developing the contents of a static display. Each turn has 3 steps:
- Generate resources. Familiar from Settlers, in Starfarers you get your resources from colony planets.
- Explore the galaxy. There are 4 sectors in the galaxy, each represented by a 10-card deck. Your engine plus a d3 roll determines your speed, which is the number of cards you check from the sector deck of your choice. All sorts of things can happen as you cruise through the sectors, from pirate attacks to becoming a galactic hero.
- Trade and build. Again familiar from Settlers, building in Starfarers is all about upgrading your spaceship. You can upgrade the engines, or the cannons - useful against the pirates; add various useful modules - eg. to increase your cargo capacity; and build new colony ships - to establish those vital colonies.
I got off to a reasonable start in Sunday's game, which included being the 1st to upgrade my engines. But then everything just seemed to unravel for me. Donald get an early lead in the colonies stakes, a lead which included a well-placed carbon colony. This put Donald in the position of getting at least 33% more resources than me on average, an advantage he exploited to the full. "More f*&$%# carbon!" soon became my catchphrase for the game.
I didn't help myself when I kept forgetting to use my sensors module, which'd've helped me find the good cards I was looking for when I explored the sectors. I don't know who was manning those sensors, but they'll've been doing an EVA without a vaccsuit afterwards, I can tell you! I managed to hold out a bit when I grabbed the last level II module, but I was only delaying the inevitable.
Donald found another colony planet to grab his last VP for a 10-6 win. His 10VP included 1 for Hero of the People. And what a hero it has to be said: Donald had 9 fame points at the end of the game. You only need 3 to become the Hero of the People. I was nowhere near.

Commands and Colours: Ancients
Commands and Colours: Ancients is my favourite iteration of Richard Borg's successful Commands and Colours system. My last game of C&C:A recorded@BGG dates back to March last year. I'm not sure that was actually my last game. I do remember Andy and I enjoyed a couple of games last year. I also remember Donald and I played too the last time we got some 2-player gaming in.
In any event, C&C:A is a game I'd been happily getting into back in 2007, before it was knocked off the table by the advent of Combat Commander. So I was very pleased to get to play again.
I got off to an even better start in this game than I had in Starfarers. Donald threw his light right wing forward against my units who were crossing the river with satisfactory despatch. He came off worse in our early exchanges, with the result that I picked up the 1st banner, and maintained that early lead long enough for Donald to start feeling the pressure. Everything was going nicely and I was starting to feel quietly confident.
Just like in Starfarers though something just seemed to go awry for me in the midgame. A good example was my skirmishing chariots, easily attacked and pursued to destruction by Donald's medium cavalry. Before I knew where I was, the score was 4-2 Donald and he was rolling heavy infantry's 5 dice for the game, against a full strength medium infantry unit I'd got across the river and all the way into the centre of the map: 3 hits! My surviving block battled back: 4 hits! It was now 4-3 and I was back in the fight.
Back in the fight maybe, but still having a hard time. And there was nothing I could do when Donald played 2 consecutive Line Advances, bringing his carefully husbanded heavy infantry into the fray. They made short work of me, giving Donald victory on 5-3.

RD/KA! was in July 2007), Memoir'44 is a game I still have an interest in, even though it's currently hard to find time to get it on the table against the more authentically simulationist CC. As we were casting about for a game to play after dinner, Donald took a look at my new M44 stuff, and decided he wanted a game. I took no persuasion to agree.
Memoir'44 Air Pack untried since I bought it many moons ago, I was keen to try out one of the revised scenarios featuring the new air power rules. This took us back to Pegasus Bridge. It turned out that the scenario's use of the new air rules amounted to a variation on the old air power card - no little planes to move around the map then. Choosing to err on the side of simplicity, we played it anyway, and had a blast!
If the thoughtful revisions made to this scenario are anything to go by, then the Air Pack's repackaging of all the old scenarios is a worthwhile investment for fans of M44. At the simplest possible level, just compare the details from the new layout with the online version of the old layouts, taken from the DoW M44 site. I can't help it, I just really like the layout of those new pages. And it's not all style over substance either. There are a couple of minor rules changes which add a nice dash of historical flavour which should refresh the scenario for all but the most jaded players. Most important is the use of the night rules, which have the Allied player rolling dice each turn to see how quickly dawn breaks.
Mediterranean Theatre expansion, another set which hasn't yet seen action. The models in this are a bit of a mixed bag. The British infantry are a bit odd, having odd helmets that makes them look a bit more like oversized Japanese than Tommies. The artillery pieces are 25pdrs, nice sturdy looking models.
The tanks are Crusaders. My preference was for Churchills, because they were the most representative British tank which saw the longest wartime service across the most theatres of operation. Crusaders saw little action outside the Western Desert proper. Still, these are nice looking models despite the fact that they have 6 road wheels where the Crusader had just 5. This doesn't affect gameplay, but it's impossible to avoid commenting on if you're a grognard like me. I'm sure DoW have heard all about this at some length by now!
Our game was fast and furious, as you'd expect from a game of M44. I tucked 1 unit into the woods in the corner behind the Orne Bridge, sending the other unit on that flank forward to the woods to cover the approaches to said bridge. Meanwhile I decided to try out a spoiling attack. I brought a unit round the wire to advance into the woods beside the pond. Both of these units were promptly subjected to withering fire from Donald's Brits, forcing them to withdraw to the large wood at the base of my line, there to lick their wounds.
Meanwhile, I was sitting with an air strike just waiting to come in as soon as day broke. Donald's good fortune here was remarkable: the sky had quickly brightened to within 1 pip of the full daybreak my air power needed; where it hung for long and painful turns that Donald used to press forward. I got a kill with the airstrike when it eventually went in, but it was otherwise a bit of a letdown.
It was at about this time that the decisive action went down. I was sitting with a Medics and Mechanics card carefully husbanded so that I could revive my unit holding the sandbags that are the lynchpin of the position at Pegasus Bridge. Unfortunately Donald played a Firefight, enabling him to open fire with 8 dice, which proved more than enough to wipe out my unit before I could respond. When I did play the Medics and Mechanics it had absolutely no effect. An Ambush proved similarly useless.
I had no choice: I had to attack if I was to enjoy the slightest chance of pulling this one out of the bag. So I charged out for the Orne bridge while keeping under fire the units storming towards the Pegasus Bridge. It was all to no avail. Donald won by a convincing 5-1 in what had been a textbook company attack (although the game was closer than that result suggests, honest!).

You can be sure that Donald was doubly satisfied with the outcome of the day's gaming. Me? I just had fun. ;)
PS. Oops! I was in such a rush to get this posted I forgot Donald's picture. D'oh! ;P
PPS. And I forgot the new M44 map. What a numpty! ;b

Into week three and it's another course of upper/lower splits. This time the rep range is slightly lower (6-10), but the tempo remains the same (3010). Let's get to it!
Day 15 – Upper body
Started off with my customary jog; the pace has increased and I'm running for longer, so that's exactly the progression I was looking for. Good times.
With it being a bank holiday I had far more people to contend with, and so I couldn't quite get the weights I wanted for my dumbbell bench presses. I wanted to jump up a few weight levels, but they were all taken, so I had to settle for the smallest increment instead. Still, with the slow tempo and a good squeeze at a top, it got a sweat going.
Again, with the barbell rows, I couldn't get the weight I wanted. The weight I used last week was the maximum available for the fixed barbells. The next step up is to load an olympic bar but, on this occasion, they were all taken. For the first two sets at least, anyway. I grabbed and loaded one for my final set, jumping up a fair bit in weight. A little too much, in fact. Watch that ego!
For both the military press and incline dumbbell presses I upped the weights and enjoyed the increased intensity, before finishing off with my nemesis – the renegade rows. It's a really challenging exercise that tests plenty of areas all at the same time. I used relatively low weights, and just about hit the 6-10 rep range. Not sure I squeezed the back quite as much as I should have done, though. Still, my core took a good beating and it was an intense way to end a good session.
Day 16 – Lower body
There's no way for me to verify this, but today might have been the sweatiest session I've ever had. I probably used a full roll of paper mopping my brow over the course of an hour.
Today marked a personal best on the squat rack. Four sets, 6-10 reps, three figures on my shoulders. Counting… that… tempo. It was intense! And used up quite a lot of the tank, to be honest. Every exercise afterwards saw me grunting like a dying mule.
I upped the weights on the glute bridges which, again, provided a solid squeeze. The split squats also saw an increase in weight, but I probably could have done a little better there. After the intensity of the squats, I found them really tough and think they probably got the better of me this time around. In hindsight I should have taken my own advice from last week and done more to keep my leading foot away from the bench.
I spotted a fellow gym rat a couple of times today. I've spotted him before, but today we took the next step and exchanged names. He's the one I'll probably ask to film my deadlifts; he owes me a favour! It's good to make a friend at the gym, to be honest. I've never had anybody to spot me before, but now if I really want to push beyond my limit and he's around, I can potentially call on his assistance.
A great session – feeling good, and feeling big!
Day 17 – Upper body
Today should have been a rest day, but as I require a three day weekend I've shifted my final two sessions of the week forwards.
I started with the dumbbell bench presses and thankfully, unlike Monday's bank holiday session, I was able to take on the bigger weights. It was tough, but I fell within the rep range and worked up a good sweat.
For the barbell rows I went straight for the olympic bar, loading up a good amount of weight. Last time I loaded up too much, so I reigned it in a little and hit the spot just right. I probably should have switched to loading an olympic bar quite a while ago. There's no good excuse for why I've stuck with the limited fixed barbells, really. This program is already helping me push into new ground, and that's obviously pretty gratifying. The system works!
Towards the end of the session my shoulders were feeling pretty achey. For the likes of the incline dumbbell presses and the renegade rows, I used the same weights I tackled on Monday and found them extra intense. Could be the simple lack of a rest day. Usually, and ideally, my muscles would have had an extra day to recuperate. But needs must. You can't always schedule your sessions perfectly. Still a decent workout.
Day 18 – Lower body
A shorter session to end the week, as I left out deadlifts on Sean's advice.
I pushed my personal best even further on the squats. Just 5kg more, to be fair, but it all counts. My form wavered slightly towards the end, so I took an extra second or two between reps just to reset and regain my composure. I tend to lean forward when my form starts to go, but it's pretty easy to catch myself doing it.
The glute bridges and split squats were both really tough this time around – possibly the result of being less rested than usual, and also having once again pushed pretty heavy with my squats. I gassed my way through the split squats, really chopping them up with rests. Not the best session in terms of control and technique, but certainly an intense way to bring the upper/lower splits to a close.
I recently bought some new headphones (Sennheiser MX375), which I tried out for the first time today. They're pretty good, if not quite as comfortable as they could be. Although I have trained without headphones and can still get in good sessions that way, I much prefer having my own music. Sometimes I take them out to concentrate on other things, but when I need some banging tunes to get me in the zone, it's great to have my own to sink into. I've told myself that I'll make this pair last by using them only for the gym, but even as I type that I know it's a regime that'll last all of five minutes. I'm sure they'll see me through the rest of this program, though.
Day 19/20/21 – Three day weekend!
Hopefully this will be three days of good dieting and macro smashing. I've no problem when it comes to avoiding the desire to indulge; I don't really crave my cheat meals or throw chocolate bars into the mix on my off days. But I do find myself struggling to consume the same amount of calories without a gym session there to empty the tank. Between that and sleeping in a little longer at the weekend, it's not quite as easy to schedule my food intake the same way I can during the week. Another challenge to solve, but I'll find a solution.
Really looking forward to next week and the start of the next phase, but until then, it's time to rest up…

Ming Makes Cupcakes
I haven't done this in a while I know, but every now and then I plan to share a great blog that I love looking at. This time I wanted to share a blog called Ming Makes Cupcakes which makes me drool every time I visit there! There are not only 33 fantastic sounding cupcake recipes on the site but also a few savoury and cookie recipes. I love how the recipes are each laid out like a recipe card. There are also some fantastic photos of the amazing looking cupcakes, which I must admit have made me tempted to lick the screen on more than one occasion. A couple of cupcakes that are guilty of this in particular are the Vanilla Almond cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting and the Coffee Chocolate Cupcakes with Baileys Irish Cream Frosting!

If you think streaming services like Spotify and Pandora have solved illegal downloading, take a look at the following chart pulled by Nina Ulloa at Digital Music News.
It shows the number of illegally downloaded copies of Beyoncé's blockbuster eponymous visual album as tracked by research firm Musicmetric.
The album dropped Dec. 13 and sold about 1 million copies in its first week.
During the same period, it was illegally downloaded 240,000 times, including more than 55,000 times the day of its release, according to Ulloa and Musicmetric.
At $16 a pop on iTunes, that means Beyonce lost about $4 million just that week alone. But the number has likely moved higher, as illegal downloads have continued at an average of about 20,000 a day.
Presumably, major artists now build in these charts into their pricing models. Still, it's a staggering amount of money to see fly out the window.

The undergraduate program in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University at Albany has been cited for excellence by the National Women's Studies Association for its long and successful history of innovative teaching, and by the prestigious journal Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society for its exemplary commitment to educating women for participation in the political process.
The Department offers the B.A. in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Students may also pursue a double major or a minor. Outstanding students may apply to the combined B.A./M.A. program once they have completed a minimum of 60 credits, and if accepted, may apply up to 10 credits of graduate work toward both their undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. Students are encouraged to apply for the Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies Honors Program.
Students who enroll in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies find out that one course can change their lives. They meet peers from New York and the world; they encounter persons from backgrounds different from their own and learn the value of building bridges that promote communication across the lines that divide us; in particular they gain insight into the lives of students from other racial, ethnic, class, and family forms, including differences in sexual orientation. Both women and men who enroll in Women's Studies learn to analyze gender in the context of these differences, and to assess its impact on individuals and institutions.

Kidnapping The Golden Age
2 comments:
I don't think children read comics as often as they did when I was a kid. For my family, we were only allowed to read comic books in the summer (or if we were sick we got one as a treat)and even some comic books were completely verboten, like the True Romance ones.ReplyDelete
I remember when my older brother hit his teens and he switched from Mad to Heavy Metal...it was a strange transition and marked the end of an era of Superman, Batman and Archie.
I tried getting my son into comics when he resisted reading books, but I truly think this generation of young 'uns are all screen addicted. If it's not on some glowing LCD that they've got in their hands, it's not worth looking at.
Did you see this:ReplyDelete
Also- I have to think Mad magazine was the absolte most influential reading material of my childhood. I wonder if there is a video game equivalent?

I adore old urns and will take them any way they come, marble, metal or stone. I have some 19th century marble ones that I bought many years ago which are in fabulous condition and they have lived with us in different rooms. I recently bought a small pair of enamelled metal ones which were supposed to be for stock, but which now live with me as I can't bear to part with them, yet.
Whilst out brocanting yesterday at a large street fair, my first purchase was a lovely urn with roses along each side. It was being used as a weight to tie down the seller's tent and as we hauled it away, he was desperately searching for something to replace it. May 1 is a national holiday here, labour day, celebrated with small sprigs of Lily of the Valley to be given to women of the house. I understand it is a tradition, started by the labour and union movement, that private sellers could sell muguet (lily of the valley) with no sales tax. So, together with the urn, I got a small bundle of flowers.
My other half has started to complain about me buying heavy furniture, and as he takes the strain when carrying, I do sympathise. However, a few weeks ago I came across a very large pair of antique urns that I just couldn't say no to, and so I bought them. It's when we went back to collect them and they each had to be carried by 2 chaps that I realised how very heavy they are. So plans to take them to a fair have been shelved for a while to give me time to work out how we would do it. Or, they could just stay with me as I think they could be left outside without too many worries due to their extreme weight. I think they would look superb filled with flowers but next time, before buying, I will be lifting before parting with my money.

In the eternal quest to lighten up the load of my kayak I have been searching for some time now for an alternative to the old gas lantern to illuminate the communal camping area at night.
On my kayak trips we tend to congregate in one spot where we all cook and socialize together.
On backpacking trips the general consensus seems to be the use of headlamps as light source (less weight) but while kayaking more luxurious item can be had for that purpose.
Some fellow kayakers carry an extra gas canister and use a small gas lantern.
That light seems adequate and lasts long enough.
One problem: bulk and weight.
So, on a recent trip of two weeks of paddling with all supplies carried in my kayak I needed something small and light.
I have used previously a relatively small sized lamp purchased at an auto parts store that used LEDs as light source. It was compact but not that bright. It was rechargeable but the battery would not last.
On eBay I found the perfect compact light.
It's a cluster of 8 LEDs (superbright FLUX) mounted on a little PCB.
The LEDs power supply is 12V. which is perfect for my SLA battery that I recharge with a solar panel (see article here).
The LED light is so small and light (smaller than a box of matches) and will illuminate approx. for 8 hours on a fully charged battery (consumption 130mAh).
At AUD$ 5 (and $5 postage from Hong Kong) it is hard to beat. I purchased mine from Kittybabie
the cluster of LEDs 35mmX22mm
it comes with sticky back foam (that I removed)
detailed view of the back with micro resistors.
I have extended the power supply cable to about 2 mt long so I can secure the light to a branch above camp with a twist tie and have the battery somewhere on the ground.
The LED light offers superb even and wide illumination of an area large enough for several people to prepare dinner.
I still use my Candlefire to add atmosphere to the sterile blue light that the LED light emits (I'm not a fan of "cold" light) and to keep biting critter at bay (citronella in the wax).

I can always rely on LUSH for a pick-me-up when my skin is feeling a bit 'blah'. I meant to review this fresh face mask about two months ago but since I plan on picking up a new tub of the stuff this week, I thought it'd still be okay to rave about it today!
Love Lettuce is a face mask that I've avoided because I preferred less abrasive options such as BB Seaweed and Catastrophe Cosmetic. I liked using my own microdermabrastion exfoliator and then a mask but this one changed my mind because the ground almond shells aren't too harsh. Love Lettuce left my skin feeling clean, smooth, refreshed and soothed all at once! No mean feat for one little pot of gritty green goo, really. It's got something to do with seaweed, honey, almond oil and lavender, apparently.
This and BB Seaweed are the two best 'all rounder' masks that I'd recommend to almost anyone. If you've got very sensitive skin I'd tell you to opt for BB Seaweed instead, though.
I get six or seven uses out of these pots so I tend to use them twice a week before they go past their best before date. Make sure you remember to keep these in your fridge to keep them fresh!
Do you like LUSH's fresh face masks? Have you got a favourite?

DOWNEY - The Downey Police Department will purchase eight new chairs for their Report Room using money from the city's Asset Forfeiture Fund.The City Council approved the request on Tuesday and appropriated $2,101 for the purchase. The Report Room is where police officers write their reports, book evidence and interview juveniles who have been arrested, Police Chief Roy Campos wrote in a report for the Council. As other divisions of the department received new chairs, the Report Room received hand-me-downs. According to Campos, "the chairs are beginning to break down, and many of the adjustment features are no longer working properly." The chairs will be purchased from Consolidated Office Systems of Fullerton. Code Enforcement currently uses the same type of chairs and has reported no problems, Campos said. According to Campos, the Asset Forfeiture Fund currently stands at about $5 million. --Eric Pierce

Kerr, David, McCarthy, Stephen and Smith, Alan (2002) Citizenship Education in England, Ireland and Northern Ireland. European Journal of Education, 37 (2). pp. 179-192. [Journal article]
- Published Version
Indefinitely restricted to Repository staff only.
The 1990s have seen a resurgence of interest in citizenship education in the UKand Ireland. Within the UK, interest in citizenship education has been fuelled by the Labour government's commitment to a process of devolution and the establishment of new legislative Assemblies in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. This has given rise to renewed debate on issues related to nationality, identity and citizenship in each of the constituent countries of the UK. Alongside this, there is a growing concern within each of these jurisdictions to understand how a sense of citizenship might be maintained within a context of increasing social, cultural and political diversity. In England in 1998 an Advisory Group on Citizenship, under the chairmanship of Professor Bernard Crick, issued its final report, Education forCitizenship and the Teaching of Democracy in Schools. One outcome has been the introduction of citizenship education for pupils in all schools from September 2000 for 5- to 11-year-olds and from September 2002 for 11- to 16-year-olds. The English citizenship curriculum has three main strands (Social and moral responsibility; Community involvement; and Political literacy).The Republic of Ireland has had a longer involvement in the development of civic education. A pilot project between 1993 and 1996 led to the introduction of a new curriculum programme in Civic, Social and Political Education (CSPE) in all secondary level schools from September 1997. CSPE is a course in citizenship based on human rights and social responsibilities. It aims to develop active citizens who have a sense of belonging to the local, national, European and global communities. The course incorporates seven key concepts (democracy, rights and responsibilities, human dignity, interdependence, development, law and stewardship) and is taught through four units of study (The Individual and Citizenship; The Community; The State; Ireland and the World). In terms of its constitutional status, Northern Ireland is part of the UK, yet geographically it is part of the island of Ireland. For historical and political reasons it has a Unionist and Loyalist population (predominantly Protestant) that wishes to remain part of the UK and a Nationalist and Republican population (mainly Catholic) that seeks to be part of a unified Ireland. Competing loyaltiesbetween British and Irish identities have been a feature of the violent conflict in Northern Ireland for the past 30 years. However, the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement in April 1998 led to the establishment of new, democratic structures as part of an emerging `peace process' and guaranteed equal status to British and Irish identities. This is the context in which current plans for the introduction of citizenship education in the Northern Ireland Curriculum are taking place.This article describes recent developments in civic and citizenship education in each of these situations, highlighting the differing political contexts in which they have arisen and how these have influenced definitions of civic and citizenship education as part of new curriculum programmes.

Maybe they're free-range caddle?ReplyDelete
I'll second that! Free range, with emphasis on free. Not that I'm complaining, though. But I wonder if everyone in here is fully aware of the nature of that cattle...ReplyDelete
From the archives, I seem to recall croncha-cronch sounds.Perhaps the cattle do too......ReplyDelete
Superb lighting by the way...ReplyDelete

Your caddle (shudder) may just have wandered over to the next meadow to graze.
Its the city.... they'll probably be back. :~).
Perhaps caddle hibernate? They certainly seem to "go to ground" around here... not that I have any caddle of my own...ReplyDelete
It has been a long time since I have had caddle, but I believe that they seek warmer places during the winter. Tino has never seen caddle to my knowledge, although who knows what he experienced with his previous slaves, and he ignored me when I asked. As usual. Don't worry, they will return. Unfortunately.ReplyDelete
thank god. i hate getting those little CSA boxes with all the caddle in them. the noise makes my skin crawl.ReplyDelete
The cattle might not be that important after all. These days it's all about business.ReplyDelete
Here's the result of my latest conversation with the kitty: "How's that for a symbiotic relationship? You feed me the good vibes, I feed you the pellets."
His reply? Well, he first spat a pellet out as he was eating, and then said: "Here, invest that one on Down Jones, or maybe Gargle."
"You can't invest on Jones," I said, "it's an index."
"So," he replied, "are you telling me I can't invest on Gargle either because they index the web?"
I gave up and poured more pellets. The bucket is full. We're safe.
I love the quizzical taleReplyDelete
What recommendations, other than Down Jones and Gargle do you have? Prehaps a new counselor would help my account. How much do you charge for advice?
Tino tells me "scratch my butt". I can't find that company.
All cad, no caddle.ReplyDelete

All About Alice
I frequently feel guilty that I wrote a whole book about Lucy, and Alice gets... what? A grocery list?
So I was showing her the following picture of me, taken while I was pregnant with her:
I guess my intention was to let her know how much I wanted her, and how much I love her. I don't have any pregnancy pictures of me and Lucy, after all, so this is something that is Alice's alone.
I said to her, "Look Alice, there you are! In my tummy!"
She was quiet for a moment. Then she said, very earnestly, "Mommy, did you eat me?"
* * *
The Eye of the Beholder
I caught Alice with my deodorant this afternoon. She was taking little pinches of it and wiping it on her pants.
"Alice," I said, "you're making a mess!"
"No I'm not," she replied. "I'm making art."
* * *
A few weeks ago, Adam, Lucy and Alice were out on the sidewalk, breathing in the fall air.
"What does fall smell like?" Adam asked.
"Barkflap," Alice answered.
A few days ago, Lucy, Alice and I were holding hands and walking to kindergarten.
"Mom," Lucy said, "What's that smell?"
"Barkflap," Alice answered.
"No," Lucy said. "It smells like skunk."
"Well," I said, "Daddy thought he smelled skunk, too. So it's possible we have a neighborhood skunk."
"It's possible," Alice replied, "that we have a neighborhood barkflap."
You know, I think she might be right.

NEW YORK, 15 May 2000 - It would be easy to come to the Russian-French East-West with high expectations. In the last ten years, Russian cinema has produced interesting work, and the subject matter of East-West - the life of Russians who return from the West to their homeland during the Stalinist terror - offers rich possibilities for narrative and cinematic reflection.
The international production features elites from both French and Russian cinema; Régis Wargnier (Indochine) directs Sandrine Bonnaire, Catherine Deneuve, Sergei Bodrov, Jr., and Oleg Menshikov. Bodrov, Sr. was writer and director of Prisoner of the Mountains, a Tolstoyan narrative set in present-day Chechnya (which also costars Bodrov, Jr. and Menshikov); Western audiences may know Bodrov, Jr. as the star of The Brother, a post-Soviet film noir. Unfortunately, the film falls short of what it might have been, given this cast, crew and materials - the fault lying, perhaps, with the film's disappointingly conventional ambitions.
The film follows the fortunes of Alexei Golovin (Menshikov), a Russian-born doctor who brings his French wife Marie (Sandrine Bonnaire) and their seven-year-old son back to Russa during Stalin's post-WWII repatriation of Russian émigrés.
Welcomed by Soviet troops and secret police, all of the repatriated are shot or sent to labor camps except for Golovin's family. Marie is accused of being an imperialist spy and beaten, and the family is deposited in a squalid apartment in Kiev. Golovin begins a years-long game of playing along with the demands of the Soviet regime, becoming a respected figure and a willing accomplice to Party propoganda. Marie, incredibly obstinate before the realities of her situation, dreams only of escape and return to France. She finds solace in the swimmer Sasha (Bodrov Jr.), who, himself longing for a France he knows only through reading, becomes her lover and ally in an escape attempt; left-wing French actress Gabrielle Devalay (Deneuve) later works from the West to engineer Marie's escape.
Engaging, beautifully acted, and competently visualised (using the waters of the Black Sea as the chief visual metaphor for the liminal space dividing East and West), this international thriller, falters mostly due to its disappointingly conventional ambitions - using hackneyed images of Soviet power that fail to convey the atmosphere of habitual terror and its lingering effects, focusing, soap-opera-like, on the problems it poses for one family. The film squanders the chance to face the bewildering, troubling questions raised by Stalinism - for instance, more could have been done with Catherine Deneuves Gabrielle, a kind of French Jane Fonda of the 1940s and 50s Such a figure provides an opportunity to explore Western blindness to the Stalinist terror - particularly on the part of left-wing intellectuals - and what better way to address blindness than with the visual medium of cinema?
Released not long before East-West was Alexei Germans groundbreaking Khrustaliev, My Car! - ridiculed at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival for its incomprehensibility, but destined to be ranked among works like Alain Resnais Night and Fog and Hiroshima, mon amour for its originality and for the intellectual and artistic integrity with which it addresses the routine terror of late Stalinism. Sadly, despite the potential of its subject matter and its talented contributors, East-West will leave no such mark on world cinema, settling for being a merely competent thriller-drama.

Savannah's Southern Charm
Savannah's Southern Charm began as a little thought one morning when I was out doing a little "yard sale shopping" with my friend Stacy Butler. I said out loud to Stacy "I wish we had a local place where we could shop…" little did I know that the little thought wouldn't leave me alone!
I kept thinking of what was available in Waterloo and what wasn't. I thought back of the local store I would shop in in my home town in Alabama; it brought such great memories. I want to bring Waterloo a little of the "southern charm" that I grew up with and around. After a lot of thought and talking it over with Ryan (my husband and number one supporter) numerous of times I decided I was going to go for it.

Google Notifying Webmasters To Update WordPress Blogs
Bas van den Beld received a new notification from Google Webmaster Tools that has never been seen before.
The notification informs those who are running outdated WordPress installations to update them to the latest version. Here is a screen shot:
Matt Cutts of Google confirmed the new notifications via Twitter saying, "we're kicking off a fresh run to inform webmasters with out-of-date/insecure versions of WordPress."
WordPress blogs are known to be targets for hackers and Google knows this. If you keep your WordPress blog updated to the latest security patches, a hack is less likely to happen. Google feels it is a good idea to remind WordPress blog owners to update their blogs to prevent hacks, malware injections – which can all lead to a site being removed from the Google index.

The sudden rise of Donald Trump to political prominence is something of a puzzle. So what makes Trump supporters tick?
To some it's due to frustration over the economy, the continued national debt and the seeming inability of Washington to accomplish anything useful.
To others it's the result of anxiety over a changing society, the fear of terrorism mixed with a dash of xenophobia.
To still others it's racism pure and simple.
I think it's a combination.
They have this vague feeling that things are spinning out of control for them. They also have this vague feeling that there are people, the so-called elites, that don't have this problem. Then they go looking around for people to blame over this uneasiness.
Their gaze lands on people they see as taking things from them. They see it as their taxes being used to benefit people who don't deserve it. People who either shouldn't be here in the first place or are just too lazy to fend for themselves. The impression that these people are people of color simply adds to the angst. The federal debt is just one more example of money being taken from them and used to benefit people that don't deserve it.
Now, they may not understand the numbers but the numbers say they have something of a valid point. If you look at household income the lowest 40% of wage earners actually experienced a decrease in real income between 2010 and 2014 while people in the 80th to 95th percentile had their real income increase by about 5%. So the economic recovery has been unbalanced at best.
There are about 125 million households in the US. In 2015 the federal budget included payment of $402 billion in interest on the federal debt. Some of this, about $180 billion, was offset by interest received on trust funds such as Social Security but the actual interest paid was $402 billion. Now divide $402 billion by 125 million. My spreadsheet says that's about $3,200 per household.
The federal budget also includes $446 billion for Health Care Services which includes Medicaid, CHIP and SNAP but not Medicare which is a separate budget item. Do the same division and now you get about $3,500 per household. That totals $6,700 per household which is not an insignificant amount of money. And of course we all know that not all households contribute equally and so do the Trump supporters (I'm tempted to say Trumpettes).
These two numbers are currently projected to increase to $731 billion and $632 billion by 2020. Assuming a one million household increase per year that would mean $5,600 and $5,100 per household for a total of $10,700 per household which is clearly unworkable.
For years the Republicans have been garnering votes by promising to "fix" the "cause" of these "vague feelings." But of course in many cases the "cause" is a myth or the solution isn't that simple so now we add to the feeling of being ripped off a feeling of betrayal and you get Donald Trump for president.
Can he win a general election?
I'm still not sure he's getting the nomination but assuming he does, then the more bad things that happen between now and November, the better his chances.

Staple x Puma 'Pigeon' Suede
Jeff Staple, founder of Staple Design and Reed Space, and Puma have joined forces to create the Puma Pigeon Suede sneaker. Both parties have recently released details on their upcoming project, which sees Staple Design's talent for creating street wear combined with Puma's expertise in the sports lifestyle market – a truly exciting and no doubt successful partnership.
The trainer itself is constructed from premium suede and incorporates the signature Staple Design New York City 'Pigeon' to both the heel and the tongue. The upper features a refined tonal grey palette, which is contrasted by the white laces and blood red-orange accents – coming in the form of the rubber sole and inside lining. Only 500 pairs will be available worldwide.
Staple Design will see their collaborative design effort hand-crafted in Japan as part of Puma's 'Made in Japan' campaign. Staple are a brand recognised and respected across the planet for their accurate blend of street-minded sensibilities and high-end finesse of art, sport, fashion and multimedia platforms.
Jeff Staple confidently states: "I don't follow trends, ever. I purposely mute myself to them." The statement quite clearly spells out the ambition, and objective, for Staple and Puma: a timeless creation. A design built to last, not a fleeting trend piece.
The Puma Pigeon Suede are priced at $200 and available internationally from 5th May 2013.

I'm writing a chess game which enables two programs compete, the ball player must write a DLL and expose a function to inform the primary application where his player will move next, imagine that the function appears like this
public static void MoveNext(out int x, out int y, out int discKind)
The player's DLL could be written using C# or C++.
Within the chess game application, I begin a new thread to call the function the player's DLL uncovered to obtain where he'll relocate a turn, and that i begin a timer to avoid the ball player timeouts, if your player timesout i'll get rid of the corresponding thread by using APIs
I've the next issues as referred to below:
The thread can't be wiped out with 100% assurance (it is dependent about the player's code)
Throughout test I discovered that, when the player utilizes a deep recursions (and when there's memory leak within the player's program), the memory using the host application increases and so the host application is going to be ended with no exceptions.
What are the techniques, ideas or techniques that may handle the above mentioned issues?
Out of this CodeInChaos recommended to load player's DLL into separate domain after which unload it at the appropriate interval, I don't know whether it still works best for the unmanaged DLL (C++) and when it'll result in a low efficiency?
An unhandled exception within their AppDomain will still cause your program to terminate insInternet 2.. You receive a chance to reply to the exception with an event handler although not a chance to handle it.
Your best choice is by using approaches for the type of isolation you are searching for.
If you are able to ensure your wordpress plugin DLL's will always be handled code, then you've a choice of createing a brand new application domain inside your primary application logic and loading the set up that contains the wordpress plugin into that domain.
This then provides you with a choice of trapping unhandled excpetions in that specific application domain and also you then have the choice of Unloading that whole application domain. That method for you to deal with other bands application plug ins acting up and tossing exceptions. additionally you gain a choice of indicating partial trust to help restrict such a wordpress plugin can perform.
However this can not help if you fail to enforce using handled code plug ins, and also the earlier use of some seperate processes could be more apropriate.
Reading through your publish agin it appears you've some quality difficulties with the plug ins you need to use. Should you must deal with such buggy plug ins I'd go ahead and take previous advice and opt for seperate processes.

Well technically he didn't say hold the dead rodent…
Matt Jones and his friend are men with simple needs. One of these needs, is to have a succulent Italian sub with extra spinach. Unfortunately, the pair from Lincoln City, Oregon found a dead rodent in their Subway, nestled among the other ingredients.
In a state of bewilderment, Matt and his mate showed the manager their extra meaty surprise, and were immediately offered a full refund, but not before taking a picture of the poor little guy in his sandwich tomb.
Matt took to Facebook and said:
Look at this beast of a mouse in the spinach at Subway today! Good thing we didn't bite into it! AMAZING! WTF!! The manager was in shock!
Subway were also quick to release a statement on the incident:
As soon as the customer alerted the owner about what happened, they were immediately given a full refund and an investigation was launched. To be cautious, all of the products in the sandwich unit were disposed of and a thorough cleaning took place, in which the Health Department gave the restaurant a clean bill of health. There were no other complaints made and this was an isolated incident.
Like Matt said, it's a good job they opened the sandwich up before taking a juicy bite into the dead rodent. Check your food people, there could be a mouse in your sandwich having a crack at your cheese.

Juontonio Pinckney of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and SUNO Vice Chancellor Gloria Moultrie answer Orleans Parish School Board members' questions about the charter they want to start with the for-profit Connections Academy, Sept. 16, 2013.
(Danielle Dreilinger, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
at a Monday public forum
The National Association of Charter School Authorizers recommended that the School Board deny the other three applications that made it to the final round. Representatives from all four school groups came to the forum to make their case for approval.
TMCF @ SUNO would offer a blended learning model that combines in-person and online classes, a model the review team praised. The founders propose to open next fall on or near the university campus with 225 students in grades six, seven and eight, expanding to a 625-student middle/high school by 2018. SUNO administrator and State Rep. Wesley Bishop, D-New Orleans, is on the application team.
"A blended school is something new and we truly look forward to providing the opportunities," said SUNO Vice Chancellor Gloria Moultrie, adding that it would make New Orleans "a part of what's happening globally."
Connections Academy, owned by Pearson, runs a Louisiana virtual charter school based in Baton Rouge and would partner with SUNO and TMCF in running the school. The review team said Connections Academy "is widely regarded as a leader." Connections would hire the school's principal but a local charter board would hire the rest of the staff.
Executive Vice President Mickey Revenaugh said Connections would charge $1,800 per student for its curriculum and learning-management technology. In addition, it would use about 10 percent of the school's incoming money for back-office services such as accounting and human resources.
But School Board member Sarah Usdin questioned whether that financial model would work here. "We're just not a very rich state," she said. Between state and local government, Orleans Parish School Board schools are likely to receive less than $9,000 per student in the current academic year.
Usdin also noted that most for-profit groups that ran charters in New Orleans have failed. The exceptions are Milestone SABIS, which moved to Jefferson, and the Crescent Leadership Academy, an alternative school.
Revenaugh said the local nonprofit board would have the option to come up with a different solution for the back-office services.
As for the other applicants, Smothers Academy would be an all-male pre-K-12 school led in part by a current administrator at Miller-McCoy, the city's only all-boy charter. The Learning Lab would tailor its curriculum to individual students in grades six-12. Cypress Academy would run a small K-8 program focused on students with dyslexia and other reading disabilities.
Kathleen Padian, deputy superintendent for charter schools, said school district staff would wait to make its recommendations until after the forum. The School Board is set to vote on the four applicants at its monthly meeting Tuesday and must legally vote by Oct. 10.
The vote comes as the city's two school districts -- the Orleans Parish School Board and the state Recovery School District -- are trying for the first time to map out how many charter schools the city should have and what academic programs they should offer. There are already more school programs than there are buildings in the school facilities master plan; two existing Orleans Parish charters, Encore and Plessy, are sharing space with Recovery School District counterparts.
The NACSA evaluation team for the SUNO application consisted of Michael Buerger, financial consultant Ann Clayton Chamberlain, Amy McClellan and former School Board administrator Roslyn Smith, and was led by Mark Weinberg of the Michigan-based National Charter Schools Institute.
Orleans Parish Interim Superintendent Stan Smith said the district had not received a response to a request for an ethics opinion on whether School Board President Ira Thomas, a SUNO employee, had to recuse himself on the vote for that proposal.

BSOD randomly but frequent. Usually a game involved but not always.
I have been experiencing several BSODs. Usually while playing a game but it has been doing so more often lately. I've had AMD and Intel drivers before but I have removed the AMD drivers completely. Was told possibly bad graphics card, which has been replaced. I'm still receiving the BSODs and now with the new card my games are randomly going blank.
|My System Specs
|30 Apr 2015
Hello BlazedPenguin, I will see if I can help.
First, if you have any of the Gigabyte Utilities installed, please uninstall all of them. They are known causes of BSODs.
I looked at the last 5 dumps you have had. They all are the same.
Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information. BugCheck 3B, {c000001d, fffff80003283032, fffff880098be0b0, 0} Probably caused by : memory_corruption Followup: memory_corruption
Please Run Memtest86+
Please download from this site only http://www.memtest.org/ in the middle of the page are the Download links, you can download the ISO.zip or the Auto USB Flash Drive installer.zip
Extract the Zip file. If you chose the ISO image, burn it to a CD using Windows Disk Image Burner or any Image burner you may have. If you downloaded the Auto USB installer, extract it, insert your USB 2.0 Flash Drive and take note of the drive letter. Run the installer, select the Flash Drive Letter, check the format box and press next. It will install memtest86+ to a flash drive. You can use either V4.20 or V5.01. Boot from your selected media. If you use V5.01 it will tell you to press certain buttons at the start, please press no buttons. The test will begin on it's own and continue to run until you stop it. It needs to run for 8 complete passes all at the same time, or until you receive an error. If you receive an error, stop the test. Even 1 error is a fail. Each pass tests a different part of the ram and each of the 10 tests in each pass tests something different. It takes a minimum of 8 passes all run at the same time to completely test the ram, more passes are better. It is quite a long test and will take several hours depending on how much ram you have. Due to the time length it is best to run overnight. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Please let us know the results.
|My System Specs
|30 Apr 2015
I will have to try the memtest later, I don't have any CDs or USB drives. and for the AMD and intel i meant AMD and Nvidia gfx drivers... I had a Nvidia gfx then swapped it for an AMD gfx but I was having other issues with it. So I went back to a different Nvidia gfx. Someone had said to ensure to uninstall all the drivers to make sure it wasn't an interference between the two. Though hopefully it is just the memory, which I'm assuming implies the RAM. I'd prefer to get my money back on this gfx card if it wasn't the issue. I will let know what the memtest says though.
|My System Specs
|01 May 2015
Ok, thanks. Nvidia and AMD graphics drivers do not get along very well usually. So, you were right there. As for the ram, that is what Memory Corruption usually means. Just so you are aware, I have a rig with 8 GB of ram. It takes me 9.5-10 hours to run 8 passes. That is why we usually recommend people to start it late at night and let it run while they sleep. If you happen to see an error, you can stop right there. It has failed. Even 1 error is a fail. Just let me know the results when you have had a chance to run it.
