Here's the latest Storytelling Engine from John Seavey. Check out more of them at his blog, Fraggmented. Including this one, Storytelling Engines: Marvel Horror, that we missed a week or so ago.
Storytelling Engines: Ms. Marvel
(or "Life After Death")
On the surface, there's not a whole lot to distinguish Ms. Marvel from Spider-Woman and She-Hulk, whom we've looked at in previous entries; Ms. Marvel is another female character pretty much created as a quickie spin-off from an established male character (in this case, Captain Marvel...you have to wonder if this has ever traveled in the opposite direction. Wonder Woman didn't spawn a Wonder Man...was there ever an original female character who got a "male spin-off"?) Ms. Marvel also had a new writer come on board after the first few issues and tweak a concept that was rushed into production. These are nothing new to longtime comics readers. But what is interesting is exactly who that new writer was--a young man named Chris Claremont, working in the Marvel offices on a lot of Marvel's second-tier titles like 'Ms. Marvel', 'Iron Fist', 'Spider-Woman', and 'X-Men'.
Obviously, the little 'Sesame Street' song starts up in every comic fan's head on seeing that list."One of these things is not like the others..." But at the time, 'X-Men' wasn't a big seller, it wasn't a hit book--heck, it wasn't even monthly. So Claremont had plenty of time to do other things. And, as it happened, a lot of those "other things" never caught on the way that the X-Men did. 'Iron Fist' only lasted fifteen issues, 'Ms. Marvel' only made it to issue #23, and although 'Spider-Woman' lasted a bit longer, Claremont's run came towards the end of the series.
So where am I going with all this? Simple. I'm pointing out that the end of a series doesn't mean the end of a storytelling engine. 'Ms. Marvel' lasted only twenty-three issues, but pretty much every character that Claremont thought had any storytelling potential, he lifted out and made use of in his other work. Deathbird made her first appearance in 'Ms. Marvel', as did Mystique and Rogue; Claremont later took these villains, the backstories and plans he'd worked up for them, and made efficient use of them when he needed ideas for the X-Men. In fact, Ms. Marvel herself became a semi-regular character in the X-Men (along with Misty Knight from 'Iron Fist' and Jessica Drew from 'Spider-Woman'...more examples of Claremont finding new uses for old characters.) These re-used elements helped Claremont when he needed ideas, because they were ideas he already had sitting around waiting to be used.
Eventually, Ms. Marvel wound up gaining cosmic powers and having space adventures. This new set of stories kept the character in the minds of the fans, eventually paving the way for her return in Kurt Busiek's 'Avengers' run, which in turn paved the way for her to get her own series again. Which demonstrates another good reason to recycle ideas and plotlines from cancelled series. Sometimes, all an idea needs is to stick around until it catches on.

Aviation History
436 FLIGHT THE SEVENTEENTH S.B.A.C. DISPLAY . .. off the line), is shown in the static park, furnished in blue with eight rearward-facing seats to a degree of comfort uncommon for a military transport. Napier Eland Airliner. Although Napier's Eland-engined Convair 340 is not shown at the display, important news of air- line interest in the Eland-powered Convair was, as the display opened, expected. Napier Scorpion-Canberra (WK 163). Convened by theNapier Flight Development Establishment at Luton from a Can- berra B.2, this test-bed carries the Napier Scorpion liquid-propel-lant rocket motor at the rear of the bomb-bay. Although official information on this point is not forthcoming, the flying demon-stration makes it evident that the Scorpion mounted in this aircraft has twin combustion chambers, one of which lights up a fewseconds after the other. At full thrust the two barrels produce a very substantial push which becomes of predominant importanceat top altitude. The aircraft first flew with the Scorpion on May 20, and hassince carried out a fair proportion of its development trials. It arrived at Farnborough on the previous Saturday, but was parkedaway from public view, both to prevent details of the installation from becoming evident and to obviate the necessity of drainingthe rock:t-fuel tanks. In action, the rocket gave evidence of H.T.P. and hydrocarbon fuel, from the quality and colour of theflame and steam trail. It also showed itself to be acrobatically cleared. Napier emphasize that the Scorpion is designed forsustained firing, long life and reliable control, and also state that it is exceptionally simple and trouble-free. Rolls-Royce RA-29-Canberra (WD 930). This ageing aircraft,which was once used to begin the flight-development of the RA.14, now has a couple of the latest 200-series Avons with a combinedthrust substantially in excess of 20,000 lb. Whereas the Comet 2E will be used for RA.29 route proving, this Canberra is employedon general development and altitude testing of this very efficient civil turbojet. An RA.29 is mounted in the port nacelle, balancedby a corresponding "advanced type of Avon" to starboard. Rolls-Royce Reverse-thrust Hunter (XF 833). Originally theprototype for the Hunter 6—with a "five-figure thrust" Avon— this aircraft is carrying out flight development of the Rolls-Roycethrust reverser under contract to the Ministry of Supply. As a photograph shows, an orifice is provided on each side of the jet-pipe, in which is mounted a pair of hemispherical eyelid shutters. When the latter are closed, all the efflux from the Avon is forcedoutwards through the lateral exits, in each of which multiple- cascade vanes are positioned to deflect the jet outwards and for-wards. XF 833 is being flown by the company chief test pilot, A. J. Heyworth, who is demonstrating thrust reversal with the aidof a smoke generator. Principal applications are, of course, con- nected with the Conway for long-range airliners. Rolls-Royce Tyne-Lincoln (G-37-1). This conventional test-bed is the first to take the superb Tyne turboprop into the air, the experimental installation being in the nose. Some50 hours' flying have now been logged on two Tynes, and flight development has so far been exemplary in all respects. As wasexpected, the Lincoln is being flown past at Farnborough with all four Merlins feathered. Saunders-Roe Skeeter. One of the few surprises at thisyear's S.B.A.C. show is the demonstration of G-ANMI, a Skeeter 5 fitted with rocket boost in the form of Napier tip-thrust units. The fuel, which is high-test peroxide, is carried in a tank mounted above the rotor hub, and is pumped throughthe blades to the rocket units by centrifugal action. On entering the tip unit the liquid H.T.P. is decomposed into superheatedsteam and oxygen by means of a catalyst. The generated gases then pass to a nozzle at the tip of each rotor blade, throughwhich the H.T.P. steam is ejected at high velocity to provide the thrust reaction. Over 100 test runs have been made in someten hours' flying during the last few weeks. Weight of the total installation is less than 30 lb (plus 90 1b of H.T.P., givinga duration of about 2 min), while the thrust from each unit is 22 1b. The vertical rate of climb of the Skeeter 6, it isclaimed, is increased from 230ft/min to l,400ft/min by die tip units, and the sea-level rate of climb from l,020ft/min tol,800ft/min (I.C.A.N. conditions, identical payloads and piston- engine fuel weights). Also demonstrated at Farnborough isXK 479, the first production Mk 10 Skeeter; while on the Saunders-Roe stand is the major portion of the second produc-tion Skeeter 6, and a bonded-metal rotor blade. Scottish Aviation Prestwick Pioneer (XL 664). No S.B.A.C.Show would be complete without a demonstration, provided again this year, of the Scottish Aviation Pioneer's quick dismissalof the Farnborough runway. The machine displayed is the 29th for the Royal Air Force, XL 664. This agile four-seater has,for good measure, a full civil Certificate of Airworthiness. Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneers (G-AOEN and G-AOEO).Two Twin Pioneers each bore a pleasant surprise to the show this year. One, G-AOEN (the second machine built), appears in theblue, white and red colours of de Kroonduif, the Dutch New Guinea associate of K.L.M.; the other, Twin Pioneer numberthree, G-AOEO (static park), wears the highly prized markings of Swissair—the first fruit, no doubt, of the same aircraft'srecent demonstrations in Switzerland, West Germany and Austria. Scottish Aviation, while not confirming that there aredefinite orders from either airline, leave visitors to the display "to draw their own conclusions." G-AOEN demonstrates thetake-off and landing characteristics of the Pioneer breed, which go of course with a commercial load of 16 passengers. Theforward portion of the three-abreast cabin is reproduced on the company's stand indoors by an actual Twin Pioneer nosesection, cut at frame 9: the lightweight seats are particularly worthy of appraisal. A small detail not before noted on the air-craft are the airscrew blade root-cuffs, designed to sustain engine- cooling airflow at low speeds. Soon—probably by the timethese words are read—the Twin Pioneer will have its C. of A. Short Gyron-Sperrin (VX 158). Entered by the de HavillandEngine Company, this bulky bomber is carrying out a most responsible task as the first test-bed for the powerful Gyronturbojet. The first flight-cleared Gyron was installed (in the lower port engine-position) over a year ago, the conversionbeing done by the aircraft-manufacturer, Short and Harland, at Aldergrove. The aircraft first flew with a Gyron installed onJuly 7 last year. The following month Chris Beaumont brought it to Hatfield, where it has since been based. This year VX 158 was returned to Aldergrove where a secondGyron was installed in the lower starboard position. The first ground run took place on June 4 and the first flight on June 26,the pilot being "Jock" Eassie. On August 29 R. Plenderleith brought the Sperrin back to Hatfield and twin-Gyron trials arenow well in hand. Short Seamew (XE 174). The Seamew appearing in the staticpark at Farnborough in Naval colours is deduced from its serial number XE 174 to be the sixth production aircraft. Powered byan Armstrong Siddeley Mamba, this light anti-submarine aircraft is able to carry an impressive quantity of bomb-cell storesamounting to a total load of over 1,800 lb in its 14ft bay. Displayed around the machine on view are alternative loads of two depthcharges and five sonobuoys, ten sonobuoys, four depth charges or 12 small sonobuoys and under each wing four small sonobuoysare hung on external racks and three rocket projectiles are mounted outboard of the undercarriage legs. Vickers-Armstrongs Supermarine N.I 13 (WT 859). One ofthe two prototypes of this Fleet Air Arm strike fighter was demon- strated but, at least early in the week, did not land. It was paintedin the new Fleet Air Arm colour scheme. The type underwent carrier trials in April and production aircraft should appear inthe near future. Vickers-Artnstrongs Supermarine Swift F.R.5 (WK 296). Identical with those now in service with Nos. 2 and 79 Squadrons The nose of the D.H.I 10 (left) illustrates the latest Fleet Air Arm colour scheme of two shades of grey. On the right is the beautifully profiled fixed tank on the wing tip of a Hawker Hunter F.6; around the aircraft is disposed a considerable assortment of stores.

Recap: Talking Wearables and Mobile Experiences at Mobile World Congress
Mobile World Congress (MWC) plays host to more than 70,000 professionals seeking to educate themselves on the future of the most rapidly evolving industry the world has ever seen. Through keynote presentations, panel discussions and news announcements from innovative companies, MWC offers an unprecedented window into the future of all things mobile. A whole crew of Airshippers attended MWC this year to meet with customers and prospects, as well as share our big news and vision for the industry.
Along with our panel participation at Wearable Wednesday, we were honored to moderate a MWC panel discussion, entitled "Wearables and Apps: the ties that bind brands to fans." Our esteemed panelists are defining the current market and future of wearables, including:
— Simon Prakash, Senior Director of Hardware, Google[x], has been instrumental in helping to define product features and requirements for the current version of Google Glass and is currently defining the next generation.
— Laurent Le Pen, CEO of Omate, successfully crowd-funded Omate TrueSmart through Kickstarter to create the world's first water-resistant, standalone smartwatch.
— William Hurley (aka whurley), co-founder & Chief Innovation Officer, Chaotic Moon Studios, helps brands think about their products decades ahead with in-house innovations like the Board of Imagination, The Smarter Cart™ and the Helmet of Justice showcasing a disruptive future.
— Dylan Boyd, Managing Director, Techstars, is focused on its accelerator programs with Nike, R/GA, Sprint and others, with the goal of helping the next generation of startups seize market opportunity and shape the future of things to come.
Panelists agreed that Google Glass really opened up wearables to the investor set and created more momentum for the category, but this enthusiasm was also tempered by the fact that many people feel like they can do without any of today's wearables. Ultimately, success will depend on the ability to truly enhance lives, in addition to managing and organizing data generated from wearables in ways that keep users engaged over time.
Some of the core points coming out of the discussion included:
- The market and media are focused on health & fitness applications and new devices, while other industries like telecommunications, education, healthcare, finance and retail are poised for rapid adoption once consumer acceptance grows.
- The two biggest hurdles for companies in the space right now are data portability and security, which will shape the future of the market.
- Battery technology—and innovations like solar and human-powered kinetic batteries, and others—is also key to the whole market, because you can't be charging everything you own all the time. Wearable charges need to last 10 days on full use at minimum, or be built so that whenever you take them off, wherever you set them the charge replenishes like Ringblingz's holder.
- The most successful entrepreneurs are really focused on the design and user experience, while encouraging open ecosystems and participation across platforms. Folks like Ford are moving away from building their own apps to an SDK model with AppLink that allows Android and iOS apps to work with its new Dash system. Wearables can do this too, but there are challenges as some are build on small Arduino systems without existing app developer ecosystems.
- There is a need to improve the fashion of wearables, as taking a one-sized-fits-all approach doesn't work. Innovation, design and personalization will be key factors, and we expect to see continued collaboration between tech companies and designers to make their hardware as striking as their interfaces.
Wearable tech is already a $3-$5 billion market today, and experts are predicting massive growth in the next two to three years with the market skyrocketing to $30-50 billion. Mary Meeker famously predicted that the next ten years will be about wearable computers, just like the last ten years were about mobile computing and the ten years before that were about personal computers. It seems certain that wearables are the next big thing, yet the mobile devices and apps that billions of us already carry around in our palms and pockets will continue to act as the hub between us and the sensors all around us, whether they are on our wrists, in our homes or embedded in our cars.

Small Space Ideas from the Office of Sagmeister & Walsh
Among graphic designers, Stefan Sagmeister is a giant (and additionally famous for his nude promotional campaigns). But ironically due to real estate scarcity in NYC, his design firm Sagmeister & Walsh (with partner Jessica Walsh) exists in a quite cozy space.
If you navigate over to the Sagmeister & Walsh site, you'll note a few navigation menu boxes ("Work", "Answers", "Press"). They're actually part of the office floor, as revealed in the photo above before their office renovation promoting the launch of their new partnership.
Now compare the photo above to the all-white transformation of the New York office revealed in the gallery. The white-themed makeover transformed the enclosed space for 3-4 with a sheen of monochromatic spaciousness and modernity (though I did like the aged character of scuffed floors and warmth of the wood). Floors, walls, and bookcases were painted all-white, while white office accessories and furniture were chosen to complement the whole. Additionally, the book collection was organized by color. It's always up for debate whether organizing books by color is the best technique in regards to categorization by some, but it's hard to argue separating by color doesn't help calm a space with a visual element of a "space for everything".
Here are few other office/workspaces where white takes center stage:

Saturday, November 14, 2009
From Sporting News Wire Service Carl Edwards won Saturday's Able Body Labor 200 to postpone Kyle Busch's formal NASCAR Nationwide Series championship clinching party for one week. But Busch still had cause for celebration. With a 190-point lead entering next Saturday's season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Busch needs merely to start the Ford 300 to claim his first title in one of NASCAR's top three national touring series. Saturday's race also fanned the smoldering rivalry between polesitter Denny Hamlin and fifth-place finisher Brad Keselowski into full flame. The drivers traded shots with their cars after a restart on Lap 157, with Keselowski spinning Hamlin's Toyota in Turn 1 to bring out the sixth and final caution of the race. "That's 25. 25 (career Nationwide) wins," said Edwards, who beat runner-up Kevin Harvick to the finish line by 2.415 seconds. "I know Kyle's almost clinched the championship, but that's what we came here to do, to win this race." Reed Sorenson ran third in Todd Braun's No. 32 Toyota, followed by Clint Bowyer and Keselowski. Busch's clinching prospects were in jeopardy early in the race, after he spun the No. 18 Toyota off Turn 2 in front of Clint Bowyer's No. 29 Chevrolet on Lap 7. Busch tagged the outside wall with the right rear of his car and the inside wall with the left front. Busch's team worked on the car on pit road and got Busch back on the track before he lost a lap. After restarting 35th, Busch worked his way to 12th in the running order by Lap 30 of 200. Busch ran as high as fourth before the final caution but faded to ninth at the finish. With Edwards winning and leading the most laps, Busch needed to finish seventh or better to lock up the title. Asked about the early-race spin, Busch gave a terse explanation. "I was driving a bucket of (expletive)," he said. Keselowski and Hamlin had a lot more to say after the race, thanks to the Lap 157 incident that started with Hamlin bumping Keselowski and ducking beneath him. Keselowski retaliated in the corner and turned Hamlin's No. 20 Toyota. Hamlin kept the car off the wall but had to pit and restarted at the back of the field on Lap 164. He finished 12th. "On the last restart there, Denny got into the back of me and pushed me up the track," Keselowski said. "I was going to return the favor. When he did it to me, I saved it. When I did it to him, he didn't save it. We just got into a pushing match. I don't really hold any grudges. I don't know why he wanted to do that. But whatever, that's just how racing, is I guess. "To me, I was over it. I'm focused on running the No. 88 Junior Motorsports car and trying to run up front, chase down Carl (for second in the standings) and finish second in points. I haven't put a lot of thought into (the rivalry), but apparently he has." Hamlin implied he'd have a shot at revenge in next Saturday's race. "I can sit here and bash him for the next 20 seconds or so and give you all a bunch of sound bites," Hamlin said, "but I'm just happy that I signed up for next week's Nationwide race, and you know in turn, there's a lot of guys that owe him. There's a lot of guys that have a lot of chips that they're going to cash in, I'm just going to be the first to the pay window.'' Later on, after Hamlin spoke to NASCAR president Mike Helton, the two drivers had what USA Today reporter Nate Ryan described as an animated but civil discussion. Tickets to witness the championship atmosphere of the November NASCAR event weekend at Phoenix International Raceway can be purchased online at the newly-designed PhoenixRaceway.com or by calling 1-866-408-RACE (7223). The PIR Ticket Office is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 125 S. Avondale Blvd., just south of I-10 at Exit 131 in Avondale.

Soldier On by Joy Myerscough
Edna is used to seeing the ghosts as she shuffles along the platform, wielding her broom. She pulls down her woollen cap. The railway museum's housed in a sprawling shed, and it's perishing cold. The stationmaster hurries toward her, frowning down at his fob watch. A man hands a hamper of racing pigeons over to a porter, and a woman sweeps by, carrying a hatbox. Soldier on.
The trains loom above Edna in the early light. She pauses below Queen Victoria's carriage. No sign of H.R.H this morning; just as well—saves her from attempting a stiff curtsey. Visitors report that a man sometimes jumps into the path of an oncoming train, but today there's just the smell of engine oil and a discarded newspaper. Soldier on.
She makes her way to platform three, pausing to scrape gum from the laminated map. When she turns she finds a man and a woman standing by the green steam train; she's never seen them before. He wears a raincoat and trilby, two leather suitcases at his feet. She's in a three-quarter-length coat in cherry red, with a pearl brooch at the neck. Edna sees that her shoulders are shaking. They stand together for a moment, her head on his lapel. A whistle sounds. The man picks up his bags and climbs onto the train.
"Goodbye, my darling," Edna hears him say from the open window, as doors slam. "You'll always be in my heart." He holds out his hand and she reaches up to take it with her gloved one. Smoke envelopes the platform; the sound of a train gathering speed echoes around the building, fades. The air clears, the train sits yet beside the platform.
Edna approaches the carriage. Inside a mannequin—a man in a flat cap—bends to light his pipe. She picks up a Styrofoam cup left on a bench, thinks of Alf, heaving himself out of his easy chair round about now, braces drooping. He'll make his way into the kitchen to shave in preparation for an hour or two in the Star and Anchor. Silver stubble in the sink when she gets home, along with a dirty saucepan and an opened tin of baked beans—and a betting form on the counter, under an empty bottle of Scotch, more likely than not.
She leans on her broom, remembers seeing him off from Pontefract station when his unit mobilized in '41. Smart grey uniform, short back and sides, a cheeky grin. Lifted her off her feet and swung her around. "Back in a jiffy, love," he'd said. "I promise." And so he was; invalided out, just three weeks later. And hasn't worked a day since, if you didn't count calculating the odds, that is.
She sighs. A quick fag and a cuppa, before she tackles the Ladies. Paul lives there, the ghost who likes to slam cubicle doors. Soldier on.

Beyond Survival: The Case for Investing in Young Children Globally
On June 16, the National Academy of Medicine published Beyond Survival: The Case for Investing in Young Children Globally. The paper argues that investing in young children globally is a primary means of achieving sustainable human, social, and economic development, all of which are vital to ensuring international peace and security. For the first time, early childhood development is acknowledged as a critical part of the global development agenda.
The Innovation Effect
GHC Member PATH recently launched the campaign, Innovation Effect – a conversation as much as a call-to-action to highlight and drive forward using innovation to tackle global health challenges, and aimed to identify actions that power disruptive solutions.

I am thinking about getting one and I was wondering if anyone can tell me about theirs if they have one also. I am really wanting to start trying to machine quilt, like stipple and free motion, but we can't afford a more expensive machine, and this one comes with the feet that you would need to do those things. Any insite would be appreciated.

"My campaign will center around three issues critical to the future of Utah and this nation." Bowen said. "Those issues include: Traditional Family Values, Energy Independence, and Eliminating the National Debt."
According to Bowen, "Tax law should be structured to help, not hinder the family. Many young families are feeling the squeeze of the mortgage crisis, uncertainty in the job market, and the financial crunch from inflation in almost every consumer sector, especially $3.00 plus a gallon fuel prices."
"As a citizen of this Nation I can no longer sit still and allow our congressman and the current administration to squander the nation's resources to the tune of $20 billion per month on the development of the Nation of Iraq, when Iraq is bringing in $100 billion per year in unaccounted for oil revenues, enriching a select few, and contributing little to their own defense and development. Examples of waste and mismanagement over the past six years by our current congressman and the administration include the funding of a $700 million embassy in Bagdad, making it the largest, most expensive and wasteful government building project in the world."
Bowen continued to state: "Under our current congressman, the national debt has been increased by four-trillion dollars. Every man, woman, and child in this nation owes $31 thousand in order to pay the debt that congress has saddled us with. Much of this debt is owed to nations in the Middle East and China. The fiscal irresponsibility of congress has undermined the value of the dollar and has lowered our economic standing in the world."
"I am running for Congress because this destructive behavior has to be stopped. There is hope for a better way to do business in Washington. The first step is to change who represents the people of Utah in the Nation's capitol."
"The people of Utah have a long tradition of cooperation to reach great goals. As a nation we built the transcontinental rail road in less than a decade, we put a man on the moon in ten years. Starting now, we should put our resources, scientific knowhow, and effort into becoming completely energy independent in 10 years. Through sustainable energy independence, we would see major economic growth, a resurgence of university and private sector research, and reduction of pollution. More importantly, we will build our nation and not further enrich the nations of the Middle East with our wealth."
"With resolve, cooperation, and hard work we can build a better nation for future generations."
Morgan Bowen is a fourth generation descendant of Utah pioneers who lives in Hyde Park, Utah. He holds an AA in General Studies from Merced College, a BA in History from CSU Stanislaus, and a MS in American Studies from Utah State University. He worked for 15 years as CEO of an international sustainable agricultural consulting firm and is currently a religious educator in Richmond and Logan, Utah. He is married to the former Kristen Matheson. They have six children: Brennon 21, Jeremy 21, Meghan 18, Samantha 16, Jeremiah 15, and Hannah 10.

Celebrity antique dealer Simon Schneider will be valuing items for charity in Bexhill on Saturday (September 24).
Simon, who is one of the experts featured on the television programmes Dickinson's Real Deal and Secret Dealers, will be offering his expertise at Blods Hall for Diabetes UK.
The Brighton-based dealer is also keen to buy and is offering an opportunity for people to 'cash in' on any items they want to sell, and will be making a donation for every item bought.
"The work carried out by Diabetes UK is invaluable and without the charity's pioneering research, life would be much tougher for my wife and so many others who have been fortunate to benefit from all they do," he said.
"It is a privilege to give my support, and I hope people will search their cupboards and bring along any items they want valued as well as any forgotten or unwanted treasures they would like to sell."
Simon, whose wife was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in childhood, is a regular supporter and fundraiser of the charity.
The event, from 10am to 4pm, is free entry and includes several local craft stalls, refreshments and a raffle – with a prize of £150 – with the winning ticket drawn by Simon at 4pm.
Valuations will cost £2 per item, and all proceeds will go to Diabetes UK.
Diabetes UK fundraiser Claire Baldry said: "Simon and his wife are dedicated supporters of the charity, and over the years have taken part in many fundraising activities to raise money and awareness of diabetes.
"Events like this can make a real difference to the lives of people living with, or affected by, the condtion and we are delighted that Simon will be joining in the festivities."

Ideal for a light dinner or brunch for 2
- 150g beansprouts
- 100g beetroots
- 60g macadamia – crushed
- 20g red onion cut in wedges
- 150 Peruvian scallops (Waitrose)
- 60g watercress
- 1 sprig of thyme
For the vinaigrette:
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 table spoons olive oil
- 2 spoons malt vinegar
- 5 tablespoons whole milk
- Salt + pepper
- 1 garlic clove
Remove the beansprouts from the package and put them in a heatproof bowl. Using the kettle, boil some water (about 500ml) and pour over them for literally 2 minutes. Drain with a sieve and rinse immediately with cold water. Set aside.
Clean and cut the beetroots and onion in wedges, set aside. Remove and rinse the watercress leaves.
Wash the scallops, dust with salt & pepper and also thyme.
Mix the vinaigrette by adding all the elements in a jar with a lid. Shake vigorously taste and adjust seasoning.
In a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, brown the scallops and the onions for 4 minutes, 2 minutes on each side. The scallops are supposed to be cooked only 1 minute on each side, but by leaving them in longer, they release a caramel like sweet substance. "The caramel" will also add to the sweetness of the red onion wedges while it browns. The result will be a sweet salad with warm scallops and onions without added sugar.
Now in a big bowl, combine the beansprouts, watercress, macadamia, onion and scallops. Toss and plate up then, drizzle the vinaigrette just before serving. This is such a sweet crunchy and slightly peppery from the still almost raw red onion… this salad is a festival in the mouth with 3 different types of crunchiness (onion, watercress and sprouts, then the frank crunch from the macadamia!) and 3 types of sweetness (scallops sweetness, beetroots and ketchup). I certainly enjoyed it! Can you tell I love my greens?
Enjoy this with a glass or 2 of wine followed by dessert.
See you next time!

I spent today in court taking care of a slew of parking tickets. They'd been hanging over my head for a while as a result of cursing out a parking enforcement agent. The guy was about to write me a ticket — he hadn't started it yet — and I tried to talk him out of it by telling him I'd move my car. He responded by being an asshole. I responded by being myself. I believe the term "meter maid" was used, and I may have referenced his parents and their pride in their son's occupation once or twice. For the next month, I became his primary target.
Thirty-something tickets later — several of which never even appeared on my car — I'm in court with a folder full of evidence saying my car was registered and inspected at the time the tickets were issued. I managed to get them all dismissed — every single one — but still ended up paying a $15 surcharge and $2 credit card processing fee for each one. $500 lighter for having committed no violation other than losing my temper.
Two highlights:
They move you through the system in groups of four, apparently. First, you see the District Attorney, who listens to your bullshit, examines your evidence — provided you have any — then makes a recommendation to the judge. Then you sit down and wait for your name to be called, at which point you see the judge. In my group of four was perhaps the hottest Hispanic girl I have ever seen in person. This made things slightly more palatable. Pretty much everything a beautiful girl does is fascinating — until you get to know her, of course — so this made the time pass a little more quickly.
Next, one of the District Attorneys was engaging in a running monologue about the stupidity of the general public. The best part of this was that the people he was ridiculing had no idea they were being made fun of. The general public being who they are, few people in the courtroom understood this. I caught on, and was kind of hoping I'd be called by this particular DA. I wasn't.
One guy came up with a shitload of speeding tickets. His goal was to get his fines reduced. The DA offered him a very generous reduction, in both the fine and the points on his license, but this evidently wasn't good enough, because the guy kept saying he wanted to plead not guilty. The DA, who's not supposed to give advice, was blatantly telling the guy to take the deal, but the guy was adamant about getting his ninety seconds with the judge.
"You sure you want to take your chances in there?" asked the DA, gesturing toward the trial room.
"Well, you like speed, and you like to gamble. I like your style, Mr. Rodriguez. You're my kinda guy."

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition has been given a new comparison trailer.
Narrated by executive producer Scot Amos, the video looks at the difference between the PS3 and PS4 versions of Tomb Raider.
Amos points out the game's superior particle effects on next-gen consoles, as well as the movement and texture maps.
According to Amos, character textures previously had to be squeezed down to a smaller size, preventing users from seeing the minute details.
He also discusses dynamic lighting, as well as background detail previously hidden by fog.
Announced in December for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition will launch on January 28 in North America and January 31 in Europe.
Crystal Dynamics has stressed that the game is not a port of existing versions, and was designed and rebuilt from the ground up for next-gen consoles.
Watch a trailer for the updated version of the game below:

I don't know what Australian musicians have been up to recently, but it seems every second artist is changing their stage name. Even the Melburnian jazz scene has gotten into the mix of this "evolution" la-di-da, with a fusion quintet that came to my attention earlier this year pulling a "Prince" manoeuvre, to change their name from 'Pilot' to the increasingly vibrant, but also confusing 'Neon City Pilot'. But despite all the befuddlement that comes with changing a name, the group has just launched another incredible release, with their debut album Ghost Wings.
I first saw the band formerly known as Pilot earlier this year at Paris Cat, and they truly blew my socks off. Tenor saxophonist Richard Butler and guitarist Kumar Shome had me mesmerised with their impeccable bebop lines from the outset. But even more impressive was how tight the group was, from drummer Josh Koop, through to bassist Jack Davies and keyboardist Liam Butler Webb. The five, having already reached international success after placing second at the Bucharest International Jazz Competition, are back in Melbourne and have played shows at all the leading jazz clubs.
But September 17th's performance was not just another gig, with the group releasing their debut album Ghost Wings. The album launch was energetic and fun, including Kumar's bobbling head cuing the ensemble, Moog solos galore and screeching saxophone improvisations. Having recovered from the barn-burner of bebop, I have now had a chance to have a proper listen to the album as a whole, and boy, are those guys good!
For those who might be taking their first steps into jazz, I would suggest having a listen to Little Wonder. The gorgeous piece sounds like a delicate pop song, played beautifully on tenor saxophone and with a delicate meandering piano solo. In contrast, single Neon City Cab is a bouncy and fun number. The catchy descending chorus melody played by Butler and Shore and the improvised solos are not exceedingly intense for a mainstream ear. Eclipse is also splendidly cheeky, with the 3/4 bossa just urging the listener to tap a foot or loosen their hips into a Latin sway.
Looking at the rockier numbers of the album, Mon Beau is held together by the matter-of-fact four on the floor beat by Koop, and the keyboard solo is certainly exciting, but a mid-solo change of tone colour for the synth would've made the track really ace. The piece ends with rhythmic syncopation galore with chord stabs falling everywhere except where the listener predicts, keeping the listener on their toes right to the final note. Unfortunately, the erratic saxophone solo didn't really work for me, with the added reverb just creating an unpleasant barrage of noise. Wheels also rocks hard as a slide-guitar feature. The roots rock track however lacks the raw punch that the snare drum and screaming guitar provides when it is performed live. Definitely one to see Kumar play in the flesh!
Eleven is the only composition by Liam Butler Webb on the album, but it is absolutely gorgeous and I wish there was more by the keyboardist. While it is obvious it has been composed by a pianist for a pianist, there is so much to love about the track. It connects really well with me, and I love Liam's solo from beginning to end. Calamine shows off the fantastic talent of Jack Davies, but I do find that the track falls flat, with no real wow factor between each of the disjointed sections. The piece is nearly 7 and a half minutes, but doesn't really go anywhere, making it a real lowlight of the album.
Looking at the more intense jazz tracks of the album, Ghost Wings is solos galore, with nearly 80% of the piece being an exchange of solos between the keyboard, saxophone and guitar. While this is certainly not a bad thing, it does drag on for the more mainstream listener, and the ending of the piece is probably the anticlimax of the album, when there could've been so much more. After an explosion of soaring synths, screaming saxophone and virtuosic guitar, the final 20 seconds sounds like it has been plunked in carelessly for the sake of an ending.
Despite Kumar's charismatic description of how he wrote Reverse Platypus, I find the track messy and unnecessarily complex, to the extent that it is too much to listen to. While it definitely shows off the impeccable playing of each band member, the unyielding crashing cymbals and distorted saxophone sounds like a rambling mess, and unfortunately makes it my least favourite track of the album.
The album closes off with That's All Folks, which feels like a classic jazz standard from the outset, and is a pleasant refresher from the intricate lines and bebop extravaganza that has just been witnessed. The form is simple and the harmonic structure is, for jazz, fairly straightforward, making the track a perfect closer for the album.
Don't get me wrong; Ghost Wings is an awesome album, and I would strongly suggest jazz fans or otherwise should at least give it a listen, and hopefully a download! The guys are fantastic musicians and are worthwhile seeing live! There are flat moments through the album, but the virtuosic playing of the group is faultless and delightful to listen to. So, regardless of how nonsensical changing their name might be, Neon City Pilot is definitely a local name to be following.

|Behavioral: Information, counseling and support
|Not Applicable
The majority of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) live at home with their spouses. AD erodes the ability of each member of the couple to support each other. Moreover, couples may be unaccustomed to seeking or accepting emotional and practical support from family members or formal resources. Even though AD can have a major negative impact on each member of the couple and on their relationship, their needs have generally been addressed separately, often without sufficient appreciation for the importance of their ongoing relationship. Previous studies suggest that by improving support for both members of the couple, the intervention will have a positive effect on mental health outcomes such as depression and help keep the person with AD at home rather than in a long-term care facility.
One hundred couples will be randomly assigned either to an immediate treatment group or a wait-list control group which will receive treatment four months after enrollment. Participants will receive a formal baseline assessment, consisting of a structured set of questionnaires to assess dyadic (couple) adjustment, social support, depression and anxiety as well as goals for counseling. There will be two follow-up assessments, 2 and 4 months after baseline using the same instruments. All participants will be able to call a counselor for the duration of the study to obtain resource and referral information or in the event of a crisis. The treatment will consist of 6 sessions of couples counseling within a 2-month period. The focus will be on helping each member of the couple to express feelings, needs and issues that have emerged between them as a result of the diagnosis.

Newest Painting - Tall Pink Roses
This used to be a red sign with words on it that hung on a tiny wall in my bathroom. I made the sign years ago at a craft day with friends. But it was getting rather dated, so I peeled off the vinyl words, painted over the red with black gesso, and then did this painting on it. I was fully intending to hang it right back in my bathroom. But I liked the end result so much, I decided to hang this painting in my living room and now that little wall in the bathroom is bare...I need to do a different long, narrow bathroom painting to hang in there. :)

text: Ok, so basicly I just thought it'd be a good idea to do "cards" that have your league stats on. Here is an example of what one would be like: They can be resized to anything 16:10 for now, but if they get popular will also do 16:9 and 4:3 aswell as Display Picture and Forum Signature versions. Just waiting for the RaceDepartment.com vector logo to put on it and it's done. Anything you would like to see on/off it? Also any ideas on how they could be used?

text: DigitalMorning Media Newsfeed: Todd Eyed for MTP | LA Times Names Publisher, CEOBy Christine Zosche|August 12, 2014 ShareBy Christine Zosche|August 12, 2014 Share[emailonly]{{{ sbox300x250 }}}[/emailonly] Click here to receive Mediabistro's Morning Media Newsfeed via email.Meet The Press Reportedly Plans to Announce New Moderator Soon, Chuck Todd The Favorite (Politico / Playbook) Chuck Todd, a political obsessive and rabid sports fan, is the likely successor to David Gregory as moderator of Meet The Press, with the change expected to be announced in coming weeks, according to top political sources. TVNewser Meet The Press has slipped to third among the Sunday public affairs shows. Todd is currently NBC's chief White House correspondent and political director, as well as the anchor of the 9 a.m. Daily Rundown on MSNBC. FishbowlDC The New York Post's Page Six first reported in late July that Gregory may soon be replaced. The Daily Beast's Lloyd Grove later wrote in a follow-up piece that, "In multiple conversations that I had with people inside and outside NBC after the item appeared, it was taken as a given that Gregory is toast." TVNewser Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace appeared on MediaBuzz to give his thoughts on the rumors and the influence of Sunday shows today. "I think it's lousy," Wallace said about how NBC News is treating Gregory amid rumors of his imminent ousting. FishbowlDC "I think they either ought to say he's our guy, we're sticking by him, or they ought to get rid of him, but they shouldn't put him in this limbo," said Wallace.From LA Times Suitor to LA Times Publisher (FishbowlNY) Monday, Austin Beutner was announced as the Los Angeles Times' new publisher and CEO, taking over for Eddy Hartenstein. Variety Beutner becomes the 14th publisher of the Times and takes the reins at a time of transition for the paper. The Times' former corporate parent, Tribune Company, spun off its publishing assets in August into an independent publicly traded company called Tribune Publishing. Prior to its separation, the paper and sister publications such as the Chicago Tribune had been plagued by layoffs, ownership questions and the bankruptcy of its parent company. Politico / Dylan Byers on Media Beutner is former deputy mayor of Los Angeles and a former Wall Street investment banker. Hartenstein recommended Beutner for the position. WSJ Beutner was co-founder and co-chief executive of Evercore Partners and previously worked at the Blackstone Group. He left Blackstone for the U.S. government, where he led a U.S. effort to help Russia transition to a market economy after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the company said.BuzzFeed Makes Major Expansion, Launches 'BuzzFeed Motion Pictures' (LostRemote) BuzzFeed is expanding its brand in the editorial, video and motion pictures area, the website announced Monday. Politico / Dylan Byers on Media BuzzFeed recently netted a $50 million investment from the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, it announced. The influx of capital, which values the social news and entertainment site at $850 million, will allow for expansion across BuzzFeed's business, including the creation of a "motion picture unit" and the launch of sites in Berlin, Mexico City, Tokyo and Mumbai. Variety Ze Frank, formerly exec VP of video at BuzzFeed and an online-video pioneer, will lead the division as president of BuzzFeed Motion Pictures and will remain based in Los Angeles. The studio will form a Future of Fiction working group to explore the future of long-form, TV and transmedia video. BuzzFeed has enlisted producer Michael Shamberg (Django Unchained, Contagion) and actor-comedian Jordan Peele (of Comedy Central's Key & Peele) as advisers. The Guardian BuzzFeed joins Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Pinterest and Foursquare in Andreessen Horowitz's portfolio, with general partner Chris Dixon joining the company's board as part of the round. Dixon announced the investment in a blog post. "Many of today's great media companies were built on top of emerging technologies. Examples include Time Inc., which was built on color printing, CBS, which was built on radio, and Viacom, which was built on cable TV," he wrote.[emailonly]{{{ jodslot01 }}}[/emailonly]Condé Nast Kicks Lucky to The Curb (FishbowlNY) It appears the reports of Lucky's demise were not greatly exaggerated. In a major move, Condé Nast has spun off Lucky into a new company, titled The Lucky Group. The Lucky Group is a joint venture between Lucky and BeachMint, an e-commerce platform. New York Post Condé Nast will hold a majority stake in the Lucky Group, which will be run by co-founder Josh Berman. Separately, the 105-year-old magazine publisher will merge the sales and marketing team at Epicurious, its food website, with Bon Appétit. Carolyn Kremins, who was a senior vice president and general manager at Epicurious, is out. Capital New York President Bob Sauerberg also announced that Condé Nast chief integration officer Drew Schutte, who was responsible for "cross-title innovation," will be joining Details as the men magazine's vice president and publisher. He'll replace Kevin Martinez, who left for Maxim last month.Maureen Dowd Joins NYT Mag (FishbowlNY) Maureen Dowd, who has been with The New York Times since 1983, has a new gig at the paper: Staff writer for its magazine. Dowd will continue to pen her weekly op-ed column, a staple of the paper since 1995. Capital New York The Times also announced Monday morning that the magazine, helmed since May by former Texas Monthly editor Jake Silverstein, will get a "major redesign" in early 2015. Dowd's appointment is the "first in a series of expected announcements" about the reboot, the Times said in a news release. Politico / Dylan Byers on Media Dowd will write narrative pieces for the Times Magazine. The news was relayed to staff in a memo from editorial page editor Andy Rosenthal and Silverstein.CBS Switching Affiliates in Indianapolis (TVSpy) CBS has announced it is switching affiliates — from WISH to WTTV — in the Indianapolis market. WTTV, currently the CW affiliate in Indianapolis, will be the CBS affiliate beginning Jan. 1, 2015. Variety CBS' move to Tribune's WTTV will displace the CW, which had been airing on the VHF station. CW, which is a joint venture of CBS Corp. and Warner Bros., will shift to WTTV's digital multicast channel, WTTV 4.2. The deal was driven by CBS' push for reverse retransmission consent compensation from its affiliate stations.

Jake Wightman claims he can use the European Athletics Championships as his graduation party – and prove he's got the talent to deserve an Olympic call-up.
The Capital prospect, 21, admits he'll have one eye on a 1500 metres medal when the heats of his event start tomorrow in Amsterdam and the other on gaining the Rio qualifying standard of 3:36.20.
After coming third at last week's trials in Birmingham, the ex-European junior champion has gone Dutch without domestic rivals Chris O'Hare and Charlie Grice, who are resting for the Games. And he's vowed to put his feet down in a bid to make the Euros a launchpad towards Brazil.
"I want to make the final but I have to hope the heat or final will be quick enough to get an Olympic standard as well," Wightman said. "I'm hoping there'll be a few more guys who are just outside which would make it intense enough to push for a quick time. If I end up in a heat with another Brit, I might have a word with them to push things along."
After sitting out the 2014 Europeans due to injury, Amsterdam represents a first senior call-up for the Edinburgh AC hope.
"I had the chance two years ago and that would have put me in better stead for 2015," he said. "But it's nice to finally do a major championships. At the outset of this season, it seems like it would be a consolation prize. But now I'm here, and I've seen the field, it's pretty much a full-strength field other than Chris and Charlie. It's not a weak event so I've got something to get my teeth stuck into."
Meanwhile, O'Hare insists he's got no regrets about passing up on the chance to be a 1500m European champion. The 2014 bronze medallist was among a wave of high-profile absentees opting to remain at a pre-Olympic training camp in France rather than entering the fray.
"Most of the people at Europeans won't be at the Olympics so we're one up on them at this point," said O'Hare. "Anyone in that position would give up a European medal in a heartbeat to be on the start line in Rio."
