Weirdly, today's random table actually serves a purpose. I was asking for suggestions and Curt Meyer made a good point.
In the Alpha Blue sourcebook Girls Gone Rogue, there's a random table on page 37 for starships fighting each other.
Result #8 was a bit of fun... but let's be honest, it's pretty limited in scope.
That's precisely why I've come up with this d6 sub-table as a substitute. I'm sure it'll find its way into Universal Exploits. Enjoy!
Ship to Ship Combat Alternatives
1. There was an open can of Tab on their ship's console. Now, it's spilled all over the controls. Sparks shoot out of the panel, doing 1d6 damage to a random member of the crew.
2. One of the crew is distracted by the mess resulting from a recent cream pie incident. Their ship misses its next turn.
3. Gyroscope hit! Their ship is heading right for you. Both ships roll 1d6. There's a 2 in 6 chance for each ship that it's been heavily damaged, needing extensive repairs before she's serviceable again.
4. Blu-Stream down! I repeat, the ship's Blu-Stream is down! No more televised news, no more reality TV, no more premium cable programming. Worst of all... no more porn! It's going to take 2d6 hours for the auto-repair system to fix the Blu-Stream. Good thing you didn't get rid of all those Space Hustler magazines!
5. Laser bars on the fritz... anyone in the brig goes free!
6. Someone's waterbed sprang a leak. Careful walking between sections - slippery when wet.
As always, if you end up using this in a game, tell us about it!

Sunday 23rd September 2012
Cairis was busy finishing off her paperwork, so I got to grips with some housework, and spent the rest of the time fielding phone calls and emails from my trainees. I picked up some flowers from the little stall I always go to on a Sunday and we bought some bread from the Garden centre, and had it with some home-made soup. M's friend was working on his boat at low tide. Here is Jigsaw sitting in the mud. No wonder Mike is in bare feet:-)
Tuesday 25th
I had a free 5 minutes today! Not a lot! I decided to have a quick look to see if there were any comments on here. I was excited to see that I had exactly 5000 views on the counter. By the time I had organised my camera to photo the detail for posterity, it had changed to 5001 :-)
Wednesday 26thThe moderator arrived today, so I picked him up from the airport and dropped him down to his hotel in the village. Imagine my surprise to see a robot made of recyclede elecrical appliances outside the Parish Hall. It was made by a local artist to highlight the fact that we should be doing more recycling, and was outside to encourage locals to bring their rubbish along. I belive that there is going to be the same thing in the other parishes.
Thursday 27th
My trainees were delighted to have handed everything in for marking, and were sitting at rest in their room. I snapped a couple of them- checking their social media, I think, for the first time in days :-) while the other two were chilling!. I don't know where everyone else was at that point.

|Nice piece of Jersey Granite
Poor Kit. Not only did he have to be moderated, he was also releasing an album in the evening. Normally we all go out for dinner after the party we lay on for our TP students. Kit suggested that we all go down to watch the album launch, and then eat together in town. My own band also decided to go down to listen, and, as a result of the posters Kit had placed around the school, many of the students turned up too. I felt as if the different parts of my life were colliding! The band is a Jerriais band called Les Badlabecques, which means The Chatterboxes. They were veryy good, and many people turned out to listen to them. They performed outside the States Chambers, where our government meets, and chose the date to celebrate the Corn Riots of the 18th Century, which led to Jersey getting some degree of democracy.
Saturday 29th
|Crowds out to watch the Dragon Boat race
M came home yesterday, but he wasn't planning on hanging around :-) His friend had asked him if he would helm his big boat for a race to Granville, in Normandy. When I dropped him down to the harbour it was very busy. The French ferry was in, boats were preparing for the race, and there was a dragon boat race about to start. This takes place every year, and companies put forward a team to take part. All the money is raised for Jersey Hospice. Last year they made £40,000. I finished the day playing music at a ceilidh wedding for one of the Jersey Lilies. She got married in the bay, with a full moon overhead. It was magical!

The alleged inspiration for James Franco's character in "Spring Breakers," Riff Raff is embarking on his first headlining tour (VIP pizza parties are promised). The real-life Horst Simco is no stranger to Minnesota; he briefly attended Hibbing Community College before returning to his native Houston. The inked-up and cornrowed viral MC is set to issue his second studio album, "Neon Icon," April 29 on Diplo's Mad Decent imprint. If lead single "Dolce & Gabbana" is any indication, the guest-packed effort will be anchored by more trap-informed beats and Simco's self-aggrandizing wangster persona. Riff Raff — who recently announced he's pursuing country music, which is only odd outside of the Riff Raff universe — has also been romantically linked to Katy Perry (ditto). The guy's either crazy unique or a crazy-good marketing gimmick. Grandtheft opens. Jay Boller

As the calendar turns over and the temperatures grow colder, it's time to say goodbye to some old friends on Netflix. A plethora of offerings are leaving the streaming service in November, but Screener has narrowed down the TV programs to five shows you only have a little time left to watch before they're gone.
'Chuck,' leaves Netflix Nov. 1
Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski starred in this beloved spy comedy, which ran from 2007-2012 on NBC. The show was always in danger of being canceled, so fans rallied around it with a "Save Chuck" campaign season after season. Now, the fans are heartbroken it's leaving Netflix, so they've started a #SaveChuckAgain campaign on Twitter. Alas, it appears the streaming giant is still doing away with the Buy More Spy Corps at month's end.
'Shameless' (U.K.), leaves Netflix Nov. 1
Did you know the U.S. version of "Shameless" is based on a U.K. dramedy about the Gallagher family in Manchester, England? If you didn't, you should check it out -- because these Gallaghers are just as crazy (and sometimes crazier) than their American counterparts.
'Powerpuff Girls' (1998), leaves Netflix Nov. 1
If the new "Powerpuff Girls" has you feeling nostalgic for the OG world-savers, you can binge-watch the original cartoon all Halloween weekend before it's gone. There are 78 episodes 22-minute episodes, which is 28 hours' worth of viewing time with which to say goodbye.
'Farscape,' leaves Netflix Nov. 5
For this sci-fi drama, you have a few extra days to check it out for the first time or re-live the adventures of astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) and his intrepid band of space explorers and aliens. During its run, it was nominated for numerous Saturn Awards, winning three of them, and is regarded as one of the top cult shows of all time.
'The Boondocks,' leaves Netflix Nov. 24
If you've never watched Aaron McGruder's Adult Swim cartoon about a black family, the Freemans, living in the mostly white suburb of Woodcrest, you are missing out. It is one of the smartest shows to tackle racial, political and socio-economic issues in the last 20 years and you have until Nov. 24 to watch it on Netflix.

Healthy Girl Scout Samoas with NO added sugar, flour or dairy
I love Girl Scout Cookies. I've loved them since I was a little brownie pushing boxes of coco-nutty Samoas®, peanut buttery tagalongs and minty thin mints. Now I'm the leader of my own little Junior's troop, which means that I'm surrounded by their deliciousness and I MUST buy a box (or 100)
Which call my name.
As much as I love Girl Scout cookies, I can't eat them everyday. I wanted to come up with a sugar-free version of my absolute favorite: Samoa.
Can't be done?
After experimenting in the kitchen, I re-created a version that delivers all the chocolate and coconutty goodness without a drop of added sugar.
How did I do it? I'm about to tell you the secret.
First, I had read about combining processed chickpeas and dates soaked overnight in the Chocolate Covered Katie Blog. She has some amazing recipes, so I encourage you to check her out. When I first read about the chocolate chip cookie dough dip with beans and dates, I thought it sounded disgusting! But I was too curious, so I gave it a shot and I PROMISE you, it is delicious! It got me thinking of other ways I could incoporate this technique.
So I came up with these healthy samoas. They are vegan, and contain no added sugar, flour, oil, food dyes or preservatives.
- 1 1/4 cups cooked, drained chickpeas (do not use canned! they have a different flavor and won't turn out a swell. Soak your chickpeas overnight in water, then cook the entire next day in the slow cooker. Refridgerate overnight and then you can puree them in this recipe)
- 1 1/4 cups soaked dates with liquid (soak 1 1/4 cups of dates in 1/4 cup water overnight)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Artisana Cocoa Bliss Organic Raw Coconut Butter
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp oats
- 2 Tbsp. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 cup sugar-free coconut flakes (I bought mine at Earth Fare, but you can also find at Whole Foods and on Amazon)
Using your food processor or Vitamix, puree the chickpeas completely. Add the dates with water to the mixture and puree for a full minute. Add the vanilla extract, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and oats. Process until combined. Add only as much almond milk as you need to reach the desired consistency. I added 2 Tbsp., you may need a bit more or less. Remove from processor and stir in coconut flakes. Sprinkle with coconut and serve! These taste best after they've been refriderated for a few hours to harden.
Voila! Girl Scout Samoa cookies with NO added sugar, NO added oil, NO flour and they're are good for you! They are also super easy to make and require NO cooking! What more could you ask for?
If you are looking for more sugar-free, flour-free recipes, check out my recipe for my oatmeal cookies. They are delish and don't contain an ounce of added sugar!
Please try them and let me know what you think!

I could remember the smell of the new wooden lockers as though it was yesterday and I was again 11 years old on my first, nerve-wracking day at secondary school. But on my return last week - my first visit since finishing my final A-level exam more than 25 years ago - I found the familiar sanctuary of the locker area had disappeared in order to create much-needed extra classroom space for the new generation of students.
Why that reassuring whiff of new wood and varnish stood out as one of my abiding memories of my entire secondary education I'm not really sure. Perhaps it brought back the excitement of starting at a brand new comprehensive school born from the merger of the local traditional grammar and secondary modern, and where the paint was barely dry on the state-of-the art teaching facilities that most of us had only ever dreamed of.
As one of the first years, I was one of the guinea pigs at the new Alleyne's school in Stone, a market town in a rural swath of north Staffordshire. The switch to comprehensive status under Staffordshire local education authority in 1969 was popular but not without controversy, creating a unified but enormous - and, some said, unwieldy - school.
Today those all-singing, all-dancing facilities that were among the school's main attractions - including a dramatically cantilevered theatre, a purpose-built technology block and a sports centre with swimming pool (the first for joint use with the community in Staffordshire) - are looking decidedly "shabby 70s". The school has slimmed down to a 13-18 school and is extremely popular, praised by Ofsted for its overall quality of teaching and leadership. Some concerns were raised about the poor standard of accommodation, however, including the continued use of teaching rooms for dining.
It has had a rich and chequered history since it was founded in 1558 as a boys' grammar school from the proceeds of the estate of the Reverend Thomas Alleyne. It was one of three schools built from his money - the others are in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, and Stevenage, Hertfordshire - and to this day each continues to receive some £400 a year from the trustees of the estate, Trinity College, Cambridge. At the heart of the school site stands the grammar school building, built in 1888 and enlarged in 1908, which now houses the sixth-form centre, much expanded since my day.
But things are about to turn full circle and the "bog standard" comprehensive label will also be part of the school's history. Today the school - now Alleyne's High School - will learn that it is among more than 200 secondaries throughout the country to have been awarded specialist status by the Department for Education and Skills. It is the largest number to have been announced in a single round so far and is part of its drive to encourage all schools to become specialist. The DfES expects there to be more than 1,400 specialist schools when the new round starts in September -44% of all secondaries. After initial scepticism among heads about specialist schools and a series of improvements, including new categories, the number of applications from schools wishing to be specialist is at record levels - last year 542 applied and this year it was 752.
Like the other schools being named today, Alleyne's new status from September as a specialist technology school will bring it significant extra cash as well as status - an extra £123 per pupil for its 1,020 pupils over a four-year period, along with a one-off £100,000 government grant and £50,000 raised by the school in sponsorship. The latter will be used to transform technology facilities and the use of ICT to boost teaching and learning in core subjects while build ing on its outreach work with its 15 local first and middle schools. The school already has a computer-pupil ratio higher than the national average, but there will be greater use of CADCAM equipment and interactive whiteboards to underpin teaching in all subjects.
The success of the school's bid is the culmination of two years' work and is all the more impressive given the particular challenges presented by its location in a rural area where local businesses and industry - usually a source of sponsorship - have been grappling with their own financial problems. Last year, the school delayed its original plans to submit a bid in October because it was struggling to raise the £50,000 private sponsorship which is required as part of the bid.
So while local Stoke boy Robbie Williams donated the entire £50,000 to help support the specialist status bid for his old school - St Margaret Ward in Stoke - there were no such rich and famous old boys or old girls wishing to get rid of a little of their excess cash among Old Alleynians. But former students have rallied together and raised a total of £3,000 towards the bid. Last week 90 former pupils who left Alleyne's in 1953 were celebrating their 50-year reunion and presented a "posthumous" cheque for £500 to the school's fighting fund.
Headteacher Ann Spears explains: "It was really, really hard work to get the money. We simply don't have businesses on our doorstep willing or able to give us the financial help we needed. Most of the money arrived in dribs and drabs. We got a cheque for £25 from the local flower shop, for example, and even the owner of the ice cream van which comes here every lunchtime gave us £300." Disappointingly, large local companies, including pottery manufacturers whose staff attended Alleyne's, chose not to help, even though they support schools in Stoke itself.
Pupils, parents, teachers and friends of the school worked hard with fundraising exercises, raising a total of £10,000. The sixth-formers put together a 2003 school calendar, even organising sponsorship from 13 local companies for each month which - bucking recent charity calendar trends - featured their fully clothed teachers. A real boost was when Trinity College, Cambridge, sent a cheque for £10,000 in recognition of its long-standing link with the school - the biggest single external donation. The Specialist Schools Trust topped up a £5,000 shortfall at the end of the process.
Spears admits it was a difficult decision initially to go for specialist status. As Alleyne's is the only state school of its kind serving a large rural area, she felt the "community" label proposed by the Secondary Heads Association, but not adopted by the government, would have been ideal. In the end, the school decided to build on its acknowledged strengths in technology and apply for specialist technology status. It will be joining by far the most popular category - before today's announcement, there were 1,209 designated specialist schools in eight specialisms, of which technology accounted for 472 schools.
The money will be critical to the next stage of the school's development, which at some point will need to include major refurbishment of the buildings and possibly even a complete rebuild.
As Peter Housden, director general of schools at the DfES admits on these pages, in the early days most heads applying for specialist status did so just to get the extra funding.
"I would be pretending if I said the money was not a huge attraction," admits Spears. "But, as time-consuming as it was putting the bid together, I think it was invaluable in terms of doing a proper audit of the school and focusing on our strengths and what we want to achieve in the future."
Deputy head Maurice Darwen, whose first job when he started at Alleyne's 15 years ago was buying the first administrative computers for its school, said funding has always been a problem for the school and the area because of a historic regional imbalance. "Even with the extra funding per pupil, we will still get less money than if we were funded at the average level of the shire counties," he says. As a rural school, it is also unable to tap into newer urban funding sources such as Excellence in Cities and Education Action Zones.
Since Alleyne's submitted its bid the government has, of course, changed the rules in a number of ways, giving special consideration for schools struggling to raise the cash and introducing new music, humanities and rural specialisms. The latter will apply to the next round of bids which must be in by October and will allow schools to bring subjects such as environmental science, rural and agricultural science and leisure and tourism into the context of their chosen specialism.
It will mean rural schools will, for the first time, be able to illustrate explicitly the rural and countryside context in which they operate. But, interestingly, the senior staff at Alleyne's who put the bid together are not convinced they would have been tempted by that one.

I adore my laptop. I bought it last April (that'd be April of 2009), and I'm currently wondering what I did without it. It not only does all the things a computer normally does (word processing, email, Internet browsing, etc.) but it's also my main music player, and my TV.
It is not my first laptop: my primary computer from 2001 to 2005 or so was one of the clamshell iBooks (graphite, in my case). I loved that, too, for portability in the house, but it was before wireless points were everywhere, and the battery life was so-so, so actually using it for Internet access in other places was problematic.
These days, though, my laptop holds:
- Both work and personal files (with automatic backups to a Time Capsule)
- My music files
- My productivity software
- Creative projects
- Notes and files for all manner of things I'd like to remember, think about, or do.
- Alarm clock (I use Awaken, which lets me select an iTunes playlist to wake me up.)
- Games of varying kinds (everything from a Tetris clone to World of Warcraft)
All that, and the Internet too!
I don't use a computer desk at home: by preference, I sit on the bed cross-legged with the computer propped up on pillows, and use it that way. It allows me to adjust the height, position, and other things based on how I feel that day. And it also allows my cat to curl up next to my leg (as she's doing right now) and be warm and cuddly – something hard to do in a desk chair. I definitely love how the laptop lets me do that easily – but also move to my desk or to a library or to a coffee shop when I need to.
One thing I'm ardent about is personalising my laptop. I have a MacStyles cover on the front (mine is their phoenix image in dark blue) and a matching cover for the keyboard area. Both were easy to apply when I followed the directions, and while there are some scratches a year later, it's held up really well. (Sometime this summer, I'll probably replace it with something else, or maybe the same phoenix in a slightly different color)
I also believe in personalising the digital bits: here's a screenshot of my current dock and one of the desktop images I use in rotation (I've got about 20 that rotate every 5 to 30 minutes, depending on my mood). The image is by Vlad Gerasimov, a Russian digital artist who runs VladStudio and it's called Google Library (note the tiny door in the bottom center right!)
My icons on the dock (and elsewhere on my computer) come from a variety of sources: I'm particularly fond of the sets on the IkonFactory – most of the program icons on my dock (that'd be the left side) come from their Flurry series (which is an iPhone style set of icons that covers a wide range of programs: I like my dock to have aesthetic similarity).
The right side icons come from a variety of sources: some from Deviant Art, an artist networking site that has grown a set of amazing digital images in the last few years, some from other Icon Factory sets (the first individual book from the left is the Grail diary from their Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail series), and some from Marmalade Moon, an icon creator whose work I like a lot (I use a number of her others for internal folder structures.)
From left to right for the programs, we have:
- The Finder
- Firefox (my web browser of choice)
- Awaken (my alarm clock and egg timer program)
- iTunes
- Postbox (my personal mail program)
- TextEdit (for quick notes, drafts of things I'm thinking about, etc.)
- Things (my task management program: more on that in a later post)
- Preview (which doesn't usually live on my dock, but happens to be open right now)
- System Preferences (because I'd just gone to select the desktop image I want.)
The stack of books is the alias to my documents folder. The grail diary book is my reference files – things I access a lot (like the tracking file for how far I've gone swimming: charts make me happy). The blue book is personal files, the gear is programs I use a lot, and the box that's ajar is my "To Sort" box. (For a long time, I had a TARDIS image, thanks to Doctor Who – the TARDIS has infinite space, after all – but it doesn't fit my current aesthetic scheme.)
I also have a work folder, but I'm currently experimenting with what it's like if I remove that folder from my immediate line of sight when I'm home, and put it back when I get to work, or am choosing to work on something. (It's an image of a book with an apple on it from Marmalade Moon's sets: great for a school setting.)
And up in the top right corner is an image of my hard drive: I have used Macs for so long that it's still insticntive for me to go open from the icon on the desktop, even though the dock would be a lot more convenient. Thus, I still have the icon there, rather than hiding it (as I usually do any attached drives, like my Time Capsule)
And here, you can see my often used programs.
- Games (Quinn, World of Warcraft, various others)
- Utilities (various things I want handy, but don't use all that often)
- AddressBook
- Adium (my preferred chat program)
- DVD player (yay, Netflix)
- Freedom (a program that will shut down Net access for a specified length of time or until you reboot)
- iCal (my preferred calendar)
- Keynote (presentations)
- MacGourmet Deluxe (recipes)
- Numbers (spreadsheet)
- Pages (word processing)
- Preview (PDF reader)
- Pukka (for managing Delicious bookmarks on multiple accounts more easily)
- Scrivener (amazing writing program)
- TextEdit (notes)
- Together (a great way to store multiple PDFs, web files, and other documents with tagging and labels)
- VLC (for miscellaneous audio and visual files)
- VoodooPad (will talk about this in a few posts: great for keeping categories of notes together)
- YNAB 3 (my budget and finances program)
These certainly aren't all my files – or all my programs. More live in my Documents folder and in my Applications folder. These are just the ones I use most often, where a very short click-to is especially useful.
I also believe in naming my technology: my current computer is named Musica Humana, which is the Renaissance name for the music that we, humans, beautiful and complex and alive as we are, make in the universal song, rather than the Musica Mundana, the music of the universe and the spheres. (Also as opposed to the Musica Instrumentalis, which is human music filtered through technology – instruments – and therefore less directly human.)
My time capsule is named Alexandria, for the Great Library thereof. Yes, I'm a geek. We all knew that, right?
As you can see, I use my laptop for a lot of practical things – but I also believe that the tools should be something we have fun with, that reflects a part of our human personality and preference without getting in the way of the tool.

By: Jenna Zine (Two Beers and a Shot) –
Hardworking high-rise employees turn to crime when it's revealed one of their affluent tenants has lost their pensions to a shady investment. They ban together to get their cash back, as well as put the wealthy businessman in his place. Do I need to say that hijinks ensue?
A Toast
This film is being heralded as the "return" of Eddie Murphy. By and large it's true, though be prepared for the numerous (albeit entertaining) stereotypes that litter this film.
Ben Stiller is actually the lead character, with Eddie as his smart-talking crook sidekick. Ben plays Josh Kovacs, a dedicated Tower building manager who's happy to play a subservient role to the rich residents. Eddie is Slide, a petty thief who hangs in Josh's neighborhood. When seemingly beloved Penthouse inhabitant Arthur Shaw (an amazing Alan Alda) bilks the building's employees out of their retirement funds, Josh bails Slide out of jail to enlist him in robbing Shaw of his secret stash of cash.
These heavy-hitters are rounded out by Casey Affleck (as Josh's lazy brother-in-law and fellow Tower employee), Matthew Broderick (as Mr. Fitzhugh, a bankrupt Wall Street investor who's squatting in the Tower), Tea Leoni (as Claire Denham, a tough but empathetic FBI agent), Michael Pena (as Enrique Dev'reaux, a former Burger King employee who's aching to move up to the big leagues in the service industry) and Gabourey Sidibe (as Odessa Montero, a maid who happens to crack safes). It's a helluva cast and everyone seems to have a blast thoroughly inhabiting their roles. It's these adept actors – along with a fun and fluffy script – that keeps the movie rolling along at an entertainingly fast clip.
Beer Two
So, with all the fun, what could go wrong? Well, it's impossible to see this film and not address a most salient issue: director Brett Ratner. (And you thought I was going to say "the economy." Psych! But I'm getting to that in a bit…) Regardless of what you think of his skills, Ratner is a director that usually evokes strong feelings: either you love him or hate him, but you are thinking of him. A Film.com critic nicely sums up the allure of The Rat:
Brett Ratner is basically Michael Bay without the ambition. Both specialize in frat-boy-oriented movies full of noise, explosions, and references to testicles. But while Bay wants to make GIGANTIC movies that often wind up being awful, Ratner just wants to make BIG movies that usually end up mediocre. If you have a lot of resources but maybe not a ton of talent, Ratner's path is the one to take… every now and then you'll come up with something modestly enjoyable.
Brett lives large in the pantheon of douche-baggery, nestled comfortably between Bay and Justin Timberlake. This flick contains the usual Ratner swagger of a male-driven film with lots of loud music. However, as much as it pains me, I've got to give him props for actually showing some restraint. He may've struggled to dumb down the film, but was smart enough to ease up and let the script – not to mention Stiller and Murphy – do the heavy lifting for him. It pays off. The film is no Oscar contender (though, ironically, Murphy is the telecast's 2012 host and Ratner is the director) but it is a ton of fun. It's been a long time since I've been in a theater where people were laughing out loud, slapping their knees, and verbally urging on the characters. However, thanks to Brett, I'll never be able to look at a shrimp cocktail the same way ever again…
I was recently in NYC, where I threw aside all airs of "coolness" to snap this shot of Tower Heist promo in the subway. It got me some odd looks, believe me. It was this, or risk getting run over while trying to get a photo of one of the many cabs advertising the film. I also occupied Wall Street for a day, which was a pretty amazing experience – though I missed Kanye West. Ya can't win 'em all!
A Shot
Forgive me for creating a new rating, but I felt it necessary. The movie isn't quite three beers, given how fun it is – but neither is it in solid two-beer territory. This is where the heavy stuff comes in and it's worthy of a strong belt of your favorite liquor.
We live in a classist society where the never-ending discrepancy between rich and poor grows wider every day. You don't have to look far to see the inspiration for Ted Griffin and Jeff Nathanson's script – it's calling to you as dedicated protestors continue to occupy Wall Street to fervently protest greed. Arthur Shaw may, or may not, get his comeuppance in the movie – as Ponzi scheme creep Bernie Madoff did in real life – but we're constantly reminded that the wealthy often get off scot-free for their devastating "white collar" crimes.
The screenwriters are aware of current events, though they do their best to keep it light. The brief references to Robin Hood and Friar Tuck, as well as peasants fighting against feudal lords, pop up before settling back into a comedic groove. Ben Stiller gives the film heart as an earnest do-gooder – but it's the equivalent of Kanye West showing up at Occupy Wall Street when you think about Stiller's reported $15 million salary. While I've created a new rating, Tower Heist may've created a new genre: a comedy that'll get you steaming mad if you think about it too much.
Brett Ratner and Ben Stiller, engaged in a class war of a different kind. [Photo Credit]
A plot that embraces a sign of the times while still remaining capable of making you laugh out loud. It'll show you a good time before it shows you the door… $10 poorer.
Bonus Drinking Game
Take a drink: every time there's a reference to a cunning chess game.
Take a drink: every time you think, "God damn, it's good to see Eddie Murphy."
Take a drink: every time you want to punch a smug Arthur Shaw.
Take a drink: whenever a fellow audience member's infectious laugh makes you smile.
Take a shot: when the realities of the economic subtext piss you off.
Last Call
Surprisingly there are no extra scenes. The film ends when it ends, though it is worth it to stay for the credits if you wish to see the ironic roll call of the corporations that are thanked by the filmmakers.

Scrap Attack!!!
Did you hear about Rachel's Scrap Attack at Stitched in Color?? Well, if not, it's been going on since the beginning of the month. (What? It's already the 19th? How did that happen???) Anyway, I've been thinking about it, and with feawz my room/sewing room (heehee!) I have found a lot of scraps and am working on organizing them better. I have so many of them I'm sure I could make 10 quilts. Ok, not really that many, but I have a good collection of them. :)
So I started with this little mug rug that I finished, and is happily sitting in it's new spot. :)
The back of it is ALL scraps plus my first curves!
Rachel is having a giveaway for anyone that finishes their quilt by the end of March, but I'm not so sure that a mug rug counts. I do want to do at least a mini quilt by then though! (But OH how my to-do list is too long. We'll see what happens). It also makes me want to finish my Bottled Rainbows! But I know I don't have time for that. How do you all find the time???
Anyway, I hoping that sometime soon you'll see a little more scrappiness going on! :) If you want to join in but need some ideas, check out the flickr group! There are loads of great projects going on there.

Carl Orr- Forbearance
(www.carlorr.com / KR04. CD Review by Frank Griffith)
Guitarist and composer Carl Orr's latest release Forbearance is a completely new sound and approach for Orr compared with his previous CDs, providing the listener with a tonic for the ears and the heart. Largely wielding the acoustic guitar we experience a quieter and more ruminative Orr that screams out - but this time in a poignant and understated fashion.
Aided by producer, Tim van der Kuil and arranger/pianist, Grant Windsor, (both of whom are longstanding colleagues of Carl's from Australia) Carl has wonderfully crafted a unique amalgam of Americana exploring rock, folk and classical styles. One can hear references to James Taylor, Ry Cooder and Bonnie Raitt rather than say, Herbie, Miles and Billy Cobham whom Carl played and recorded with for many years.
The music is hopeful and optimistic while occasionally imbued with an inward melancholia that no doubt reflects the artist's profound views on the state of the world today. These are coupled with his successes and travails on his journey amidst the capricious vicissitudes and fate that a musician of Orr's magnitude faces in the current climate of the "music business".
Forbearance should be listened to and judged in its entirety, becaus the sum is greater than its parts. This is an All-Americana feast of delightful creativity and originality.

Welcome to the hiatus report – august 3rd , 2015
Ok – while we are still technically on our hiatus ("on hiatus and loving it!"), we had to plug the upcoming bird walks and the epic slide show next week. The funny thing about being on hiatus is that I have been taking a lot less pictures and have really been enjoying not watching thru a camera. The result of course is a lot of pictures of mushrooms and little other visual documentation of stuff. Mental documentation for sure. Anyway.
We'll include highlights –
Highlights – 3 slime mold log, 6 liverwort walk (atta baby Javy!), baby birds featuring Nelson's sharp-tailed sparrow and tree swallow, moths, mushrooms, shorebirds, otter stuff, Tropicbird, cedar waxwings,
Upcoming events –
Slide show one week from tonight! - "owls are easy, otters are easier – stories and lessons from year round animal tracking on Vinalhaven and surrounding islands" slide show - Monday August 10th – 7pm up at the Washington School/Town Hall. This talk will be "the spraint". It's going to be all about the owls and otters out here, which we all love. It's going to be fun, fun, fun… walk the following morning.
bird walks every Thursday in august
this week it starts at 8am, next week it starts at 7am.
|water squirtin'
Funky Tweeters – Bird stuff – so the bird walks have been fun (here we go plugging our activities again!) the first week we had a bald eagle and a grey catbird sit like forever (not together) for some sweet scope views, three whimbrels (state beach) week two, baby Tree Swallow and the longest view of well lit purple finch the next, and then last week we saw two young Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrows, Wilson's Storm Petrels, and Gannets and a deer swimming! And so much more. It's been pretty sweet. Bald Eagles on each trip, plus lots of Lesser Yellowlegs. We have seen the arrival and dominance of Cedar Waxwings, and a redstart feeding its young at lane's island. Common terns with young, and Eastern Kingbirds at Folly Pond for most of July. It's been sweet. Can't wait to see what we find next time!
what a great summer. see you out there!

The National Organization for Marriage has fallen on hard times. Once powerful and effective in preventing equality for LGBT people, it's now facing serious financial problems and on a huge losing streak in both legislatures and courts. Mark Joseph Stern thinks he hears a funeral dirge starting to play:
This week, a Reagan-appointed federal judge handed the National Organization for Marriage its first major rejection of the month, kicking the anti-gay-marriage group's IRS lawsuit out of court. NOM, a longtime opponent of disclosure laws, had claimed that the IRS intentionally leaked a contributor list to the pro-gay Human Rights Campaign, using the accusation as a fundraising tool. On Tuesday, however, U.S. District Judge James C. Cacheris slammed NOM's claim, noting the group's utter lack of evidence and criticizing its case as "unconvincing" and "unpersuasive."
This dismissal would be embarrassing enough on its own. Yet 2014 has brought NOM so many defeats that its IRS loss barely made the news. The day after Judge Cacheris' ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court swatted down NOM's attempt to halt gay marriage in Oregon, where the attorney general has refused to defend the state's recently invalidated ban. (Before that, the group tried, and failed, to make a last-minute defense of the law in district court.) These two failures come on the heels of NOM's most humiliating month yet: In May, the Maine Ethics Commission hit the group with a $50,250 fine for breaking state laws in its 2009 campaign to overturn marriage equality. The commission went on to note that NOM had also likely violated campaign disclosure laws in New Hampshire and Iowa. The Iowa Ethics & Campaign Disclosure Board is currently investigating the group.Was it inevitable that NOM would fall apart so quickly? As the organization stumbles toward irrelevance and impotence, it's easy to forget just how successful and formidable it once was.
I think Maggie Gallagher got out a couple years ago because she saw the handwriting on the wall, leaving Brian Brown to cry into his well-worn Bible. This string of losses almost certainly have crippled their ability to raise money, adding to their already dismal financial situation. And I'm just gonna laugh my ass off about it.

There were 4 things I, personally, took away from the GOP debates yesterday.
1. Carly Fiorina may end up with a fairly responsible position should a Republican take office in 2016.
2. The whittling down process is going to be fun to watch, but only slightly less fun than listening to liberals and Democrats whine about these debates and how painful/annoying/useless/ugly/stupid/hateful/horrible and blah blah blah they are and how they yet somehow, still, can't look away. All the feels for you. Really.
3. No one really cares about Trump and Trump really cares about no one.
4. The policy discussions will slowly emerge and the first one out of the gate (for me anyway) is Dodd-Frank, thanks to Marco Rubio.
Rather hilariously, Blake Hounshell of Politico wondered this aloud just after Rubio called for the repeal and replace of Dodd-Frank:
When did saying that Dodd-Frank was bad for small businesses become a thing?
— Blake Hounshell (@blakehounshell) August 7, 2015
Well, I don't know about Hounshell, but I had certainly heard it before. Here's a bit from a US News & World Report piece back in January 2013:


text: In the latest event in the Canongate Talks series, Alasdair Gray launches Every Short Story 1952–2012. Gathering together every story he has written in a career spanning 60 years, as well as sixteen brand new tales and a host of illustrations, this is a landmark publication from one of Scotland's greatest writers. This event is part of Book Week Scotland, and will be chaired by Stuart Kelly.


text: The Electric Drive Transportation Association's 2014 conference and expo is in Indianapolis, IN the early part of next week: EDTA Conference 2014 This looks like mainly a business-to-business trade-show, with the big existing auto manufacturers, new/existing suppliers, and government and private organizations discussing PHEV and EV vehicles, components, market, etc. Tesla is notably absent from any part of the conference/expo -- call it the elephant not in the room. There is a "Ride, Drive, & Charge" area with several PHEVs and a few EVs available for test drives. Again, no Model S to be found, at least in an official capacity, there. Also disappointed that Ford is bringing their PHEV Ford Fusion and C-MAX vehicles, but choosing to not bring their Focus Electric BEV which is available all over the USA. (Disclaimer -- I'm leasing an FFE, hence the interest)

The 2017 Gold Medal, the Australian Institute of Architects highest honour, is awarded to Peter Elliott AM LFRAIA. The Gold Medal recognises distinguished service by architects who have designed or executed buildings of high merit, produced work of great distinction resulting in the advancement of architecture or endowed the profession of architecture in a distinguished manner. Remarkably, Peter Elliot has excelled in all these areas through his consistent practice of architecture in the public interest over many years.
Peter has made an exceptional contribution to the profession as a highly regarded and awarded architect, as a scholar with a long involvement in design teaching, and as an active and valued participant in support of the profession through the Institute, government, and in the broader community. A clear focus, gentle tenacity, integrity, and generosity of spirit underpin Peter's approach to life and practice.
Best known for his capacity to navigate the complexities of public commissions with diplomacy and tact while ensuring the highest design standards are sustained, his work extends beyond architecture into the realm of landscape and urban design. Peter has completed an impressive and diverse range of projects throughout Melbourne, large and small, in his own right and also in association with others. Notable projects include Victoria University Law School, Deer Park by-pass, Melbourne Grammar Memorial Hall, and numerous buildings and urban spaces for the RMIT city campus. His focus on public, educational and urban projects of exceptional quality is evidenced by his achievements in the state and national architecture awards programs, with almost annual acknowledgement since the 1970s. In all, he has been recognised with in excess of 40 Institute Awards and received over 20 other industry awards. Peter has also served the profession extensively through membership of jury panels within the awards program.
Peter has participated frequently in exhibitions accompanied by the work of other named and distinguished peers: he has lectured frequently both within and outside the profession: he has authored an extensive series of articles on contemporary architectural design and philosophy while being recognised as a leading practitioner. His recent publication "Episodic Urbanism' characteristically focuses on a place rather than his practice, yet this story of a twenty year transformation of RMIT's inner Melbourne campus demonstrates an insightful and sensitive understanding of urban transformation at its best.
His work has been widely published and he has been a finalist in major architectural competitions. Peter's contribution to architecture and public housing was recognised in being awarded an Order of Australia at the unusually early age of 37. He has extended his professional career into advice to government, secondary and tertiary education institutions, the arts and local government organisations, particularly through urban design and conservation advice, where he has made a valued contribution.
Peter Elliott's leadership also encompasses his extensive role as a teacher. He commenced teaching in 1974 at The University of Melbourne and later at the RMIT University, where he served as an Adjunct Professor from 1994 to 2000. Peter is currently a Senior Research Fellow and Adjunct Professor at Monash University Department of Architecture. His teaching both in the Schools of Architecture and within his own studio has influenced and encouraged numerous students, many of whom are now practicing in their own right and are a testament to his interest in the profession. His passion for the education of architects and upholding the standards of the profession extends to serving on the University of Melbourne's Department of Architecture and Building, Architecture Advisory Board (1985 to 1988) and the Architect's Registration Board, as AACA examiner in Architectural Practice.
Peter's intelligence, humanity and humility has endeared him to many in the profession, and earned him the highest respect within government and the community. The breadth and depth of his intrepretation of the human experience of the city provides an exemplary model for architectural practice. Peter Elliot is a most worthy recipient of the Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal by his exceptional contribution through design, to architectural education, leadership within the profession, and promotion of architecture within the community.
