PubSoft's New Platform Stands to Revolutionize the Publishing Industry
By Mercy PilkingtonWhile so much about publishing has changed in just the last few years, one of the unfortunate truths about publishing is that so much has not changed. The traditional publishing model, as most authors, readers, and booksellers know it, has not changed much in the last few hundred years, in fact. With the advent of digital publishing, self-publishing, and ebook-0nly and digital-first publishing, traditional models are looking for ways to keep up with the changes coming at them.
PubSoft, a new platform aimed at helping publishers brand themselves and reach out to a category of consumer called "influencer readers," released some news today about what it has to offer to a wide variety of publishers, from major houses with several imprints, down to a handful-of-titles independent publisher.
"Pubsoft's unique digital publishing engine is a game-changer in the publishing sector. With Pubsoft, publishers can quickly and easily create and manage a custom ebook store to enable direct-to-consumer ebook sales, including branded mobile publishing for iPad devices. The Pubsoft platform gives publishers the power to engage and manage authors with SEO-optimized author and book landing pages, social media marketing integration, distribution capabilities across multiple channels and online content sampling and multiple point of purchase options.
"The platform streamlines backend workflow tasks, automating online marketing functions and administrative work and allowing publishers to capture and analyze author, reader and revenue data. Pubsoft delivers a dashboard that gives publishers the power to capture metadata and drill down into book, author and reader levels for insights that can supercharge marketing campaigns, inform key business decisions and drive broader product strategy."
Good e-Reader spoke with Kbuuk and PubSoft's Dougal Cameron about what this platform has to offer everyone involved in the life of a book.
"Publishers' websites are increasingly being used by readers who want to know more about authors. The very fact that they're on that publisher's website suggests that they have a deeper level of connection with the publisher. Our aim is to capture that reader and allow the publisher to connect with that reader, helping publishers understand what readers want and refine their offering. The impact will be a direct sales platform for ebooks, a publisher-branded iPad app, a storefront that can be blended with the publishers look and feel, along with an author portal and publisher portal."
PubSoft's publisher dashboard currently offers far too many features to identify, but highlights include a publisher-branded interface for the growing number of readers who are seeking out publisher websites for information on their favorite authors, a branded ebook store where their readers can purchase titles, real-time data on tracking book sales and royalties, and more.
Essentially, PubSoft stands to bring traditional publishers into a model that more closely mimics that freedom and information that self-publishers are currently enjoying from their platforms, all while helping leverage much-needed promotion and book discovery for their authors. At the same time, it is the readers and authors who most stand to benefit from the interface.
Mercy Pilkington is a young-adult author and a teacher in a correctional facility. She does not have a single textbook in her classroom. With the top-of-the-line technology at her disposal and the low reading ability of many of her students, there's no need for standard paper texts. Instead she relies on e-readers, iPads, desktop PCs, Polycom video conferencing equipment for virtual field trips, live streaming for science demonstrations, and text-to-speech read-aloud software to teach English and science. Within the next ten years, public school classrooms across the country are going to look a lot more like Mercy's classroom because the educational possibilities with these kinds of technologies are limitless.

Sunday's Taste of Swampscott in the high school cafeteria from 1 to 3:30 p.m. is the grand finale for the Class of 2014, their third and final year of bringing in restaurants to serve specialties.
Twenty-four establishments will be serving the guests, with a student helper assigned to each station. Other students will be selling drinks and tickets.
A highlight of the event is the silent auction with only 100 tickets sold — $25 each — for a chance to win a 60-inch Vizio Smart TV and a PlayStation 4.
Over the past three years the student organizers have refined their preparation, from publicizing the event to ordering items, aiming to give the roaming diners a pleasant and fulfilling experience.
The class hopes to raise about $15,000.
The money, along with the money earned from earlier events and those planned later in the year, will help defray graduation expenses, from caps and gowns to prom tickets to yearbooks.
Here is a list of restaurants and shops that wil be at the Taste of Swampscott.

something about eating while taking a crap just doesn't seem safe to me.
You must be Logged in to post a comment
I don't think fecal matter will be airborne but it's still super gross. I don't like to take a bottle of water in the bathroom to take a shower much less a crap. But to each their own.
Score one for the 9-incher in the room. -12:06
I am reading this post while shitting. You make me proud
I've never tried. You inspired me. --The Admiral
There's nothing wrong with eating and pooping at the same time - I like to think of it as multi-tasking.. in one end and out the other. No big.
432 - how are eating and drinking different? The only difference is that you chew during one of them. Step 1. Open your mouth Step 2. Stick food/beverage in mouth Step 3. Swallow said food/beverage through same opening. How are they different?!?
I agree drinking beer well pissing ok well shitting not ok.
To sorry to put the burger down then take a dump. Nope, just take it with you. It's no wonder 20yr olds are having heart attacks.
I am at least 3 inches ahead of the game. -12:06
I don't think safety would have been what came to mind. I believe the fact that you are dropping a deuce and eating says it all.
If u kept eating would it be Infinity?
Multi-tasshitting. Go ahead on!
Well I just shit myself while eating does that count I think I may of pissed myself too yeah definately pissed....
Oh you think genius???
Ohhhh Napervilleeee. Tisk tisk
Hahaha dude I've thought the same damn thing my life lol
Taste is primarily derived through SMELL so unless you enjoy the taste of shit I wouldn't do it.
Kinda like peeing and drinking at the same time...like trying to fill a cup that has a hole in it
I beg to differ...it's called fuckin multi-tasking
You were probably eating your crap, fuckin gross.
And is it me or are the TFLN ads getting more and more racy? -12:06
I was eating moultin cake while shitting yesterday <3
that's fucking digusting. who the hell eats while he's taking a shit?
In one end, out the other
he probably followed up the meal by wrapping a washrag around a yardstick to wipe that ass...this fucker needs help
That's so unappetizing.
There's nothing wrong with this. Who hasn't drank a beer while in the toilet? taking a shower? fucking? It's basically the same concept.
I've done that...

Final form
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article does not cite any references or sources. (November 2008) |
For approaches that focus on the final form of the biblical text, see Canonical criticism.
In many languages, the final form is a special character used to represent a letter only when it occurs at the end of a word. For example, in Hebrew:
- kaf כ, mem מ, nun נ, pe פ, and tsadi צ
have the final forms
- kaf ך, mem ם, nun ן, pe ף, and tsadi ץ
Some languages that use final form characters are:
The lowercase Latin letter "s" had separate medial (ſ) and final (s) in the orthographies of many European languages from the medieval period to the early 19th century; it survived in the German Fraktur script until the 1940s.

524,000 Meals for Children packed at William Jessup
ROCKLIN - More than 524,000 meals for malnourished children were packed by some 2,500 volunteers during a three-day Feed My Starving Children MobilePack(tm) event that concluded Saturday at William Jessup University in Rocklin.
The event, the third year in Placer County, was made possible by financial support from a number of organizations. Wells Fargo was the lead corporate sponsor, covering the cost of nearly 50,000 meals, while Randy Peters Catering and Event Planning helped cover the cost of nearly 25,000 meals.
While the event is concluded, organizers say they are continuing to seek donations to cover the cost of the meals that were packed. A $22 donation covers the cost of 100 meals. To donate, please visit www.sacfmscmobilepack.org.
Other sponsors were:
5,600 meal sponsors: Allied Waste Service of Sacramento, AT&T, Citrus Heights Rotary, Mercy San Juan Medical Center of Sacramento and Reeve-Knight Construction.
3,600 meal sponsor: Southwest Airlines and Hewlett Packard.
2,800 meal sponsors: Atlas Disposal, Cimino Care, Propp Christensen and Caniglia LLP, Sacramento Kings and Umpqua Bank.
"We were excited to grow this event with Wells Fargo, a key sponsor of the event, and engage with more community partners," said Kris Glass, Event Coordinator. "The volunteer response to pack meals was tremendous."
Volunteer meal packers included groups of employees from Wells Fargo, Umqua Bank, Reeve-Knight Construction and Propp Christensen and Caniglia LLP. Many area churches supported the event financially and with volunteers, including Valley Springs Presbyterian Church in Roseville, Adventure Christian Church, St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Rocklin, Providence Bible Church, Bridgeway Christian Church, Metro Calvary Church in Roseville and Vespers in the City in Sacramento.
Feed My Starving Children coordinates MobilePack(tm) events around the country where volunteers combine and package ingredients scientifically formulated to address the needs of children suffering from malnourishment into meals that FMSC calls MannaPack(tm) Rice. Each meal costs 22 cents to be produced and packed for shipping around the world.
While the event is concluded, organizers say they are continuing to seek donations to cover the cost of the meals packed. To donate, please visit www.sacfmscmobilepack.org.
Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit organization that distributes culturally-neutral, nutritious meals to nearly 70 countries through more than 90 missions and humanitarian agencies. In most cases, the free food is used to operate orphanages, schools, clinics, and community feeding programs that contribute to long-term community development. Ninety-two cents on every dollar donated to FMSC goes directly to the food program.

Rogue Campaign or Vandalism? 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' Poster Defaced
The sign criticizes the film's dramatization of the Sept. 11 attacks, calling it "tediously boring."
Not everyone is clamoring to see the post-Sept. 11 drama Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.
Case in point: A defaced movie poster at a bus stop on the corner of Main St. and Abbott Kinney in Venice, Calif. showed what one person thought of the film (see image above). Covering the title of the movie, a plain white paper with text in a similar font as the poster reads: "Yet Another Tediously Boring Twin Towers Collapse Movie Dramatization."
In fine print below, the criticism continues: "Ho hum ... think it's just another Redbox night for me. Thank you very much." The poster appeared to be professionally done, though it is unclear who is responsible. The sign has since been taken down.
Directed by Stephen Daldry, the big-screen adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's novel has received mixed critical reception since it opened Christmas Day. Culled from more than 50 film critics, Rotten Tomatoes rates the Sandra Bullock-Tom Hanks drama with a mediocre 53 percent (but THRs Todd McCarthy called it a "well-acted tale"), though audiences seemed more open to the tearjerker with moviegoers giving it an average of 3.6 out of 5.
One Hollywood Foreign Press Association member told the New York Times in December following the announcement of the Golden Globe nominations (Extremely Loud was shut out), that the voters were split on the film. Some were drawn to it, while others weren't, according to the voter.
Extremely Loud follows Oskar Shell (Thomas Horn), who loses his father Thomas (Hanks) in the World Trade Center attacks in 2001. Oskar goes on a journey throughout New York City to find a box that his father left him the key to.
The film is the latest to center on the Sept. 11 attacks. Previous dramas included Paul Greengrass' United 93 (2006) and Oliver Stone's World Trade Center (2006); Michael Moore released the documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11, in 2004.

"It's premature to draw any conclusion that the Taser contributed to this man's death."
- Tony Burbridge, Halifax's deputy police chief
Halifax Police Reluctant to Link 45-Year-Old Man's Death to Weapon
November 22, 2007
A man has died in a Dartmouth jail about 30 hours after he was jolted by a Taser, prompting Nova Scotia's justice minister to order a review of police use of the weapon.
But Halifax Regional Police said Thursday that it's too early to speculate about whether the Taser hit killed the man.
"It's premature to draw any conclusion that the Taser contributed to this man's death," Tony Burbridge, Halifax's deputy police chief, told reporters.
The 45-year-old man died Thursday morning at the Burnside correctional facility, about 30 hours after officers used a stun gun to subdue him. Police haven't released his name, but Joanna Hyde identified him as her brother, Howard Hyde.
Burbridge said the man was being booked on an assault charge early Wednesday. When he jumped over a counter and tried to flee, a struggle ensued, and the officers used a Taser on him.
"From what I've seen on the tape, it was violent," the deputy chief said.
Burbridge said even after being jolted, the man continued to struggle and tried to run out a back door. The officers eventually brought him under control, but soon the man needed medical attention.
The officers gave the man first aid and paramedics took him to hospital. Burbridge said he was checked out, cleared medically, and returned to police custody.
Later Wednesday afternoon, the man was taken to court and remanded to the jail.
Burbridge said he was not sure whether the Taser went off more than once, but he was "absolutely" confident the officers did everything in their power to subdue the man before using the stun weapon.
He gave few details about the man, whom he described as probably heavier and taller than the officers, other than to say he had also been jolted by a Taser in 2005.
According to his sister and his widow, Karen Ellet, Hyde had psychiatric problems.
Ellet said she told police Hyde was off his medication when he was being arrested.
"He was starting to get aggressive. He was panting," she said.
Police are waiting for the province's chief medical examiner to determine exactly why the man died.
RCMP are also investigating.
No curb on Taser use contemplated
Burbridge said the police force will continue to use Tasers despite the death.
Nova Scotia Justice Minister Cecil Clarke is not banning the weapons, though he has ordered an immediate review of how police use them.
"We also have to be considerate of those who put their lives on the line as peace officers and police and correctional workers, and we're going to have a balanced approach," Clarke told reporters.
NDP justice critic Bill Estabrooks said an independent look at the overall use of Tasers in Nova Scotia is needed. However, neither Estabrooks nor Michel Samson, the Liberals' justice critic, is calling for a moratorium on Taser use.
Ellet questioned how police handle people with mental illnesses.
"I really feel he should've had more medical help to get him on his medications to get him stable enough to get him to go to court," she said.
Hyde is the latest person to die in Canada after being stunned by a Taser.
Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski died after being shocked by a stun gun at the Vancouver airport five weeks ago, prompting the federal government to order a review of the RCMP's Taser policy.
That review will not include other police forces.
In Montreal, Quilem Registre died in mid-October after being shocked by a Taser at a police station where he had been brought for questioning. He had been stopped as a result of a traffic violation, and officers said he appeared to be intoxicated.

Hello, good morning, how you do?
Good way to start the morning by listening to one of my favorite bands Switchfoot, learning to breathe. If you haven't heard the song, you should definitely check them out! I would like to send out my apologies to you all for me being m.i.a. on the blog. Life likes to grab me by the ears and demands that I pay attention to graduate school. I mean, it's fun, I absolutely love Marketing; but my professor is a tough one to figure out. He's take his class pretty seriously too. One time, I walk into class about 2 minutes late and before I took 2 steps into class, he snarled in his strong Lebanese accent, "Why are you late?". His question caught me by surprise that the only thing I came up with was the truth…
"I had to go to the bathroom" : /
Anyway, for the main event, my dear friends Anthony and Melanie. I knew both for a couple years now. They are amazing, friendly, highly intelligent, and beautiful people. They always let me give them hugs! (I like hugs ^_^) I must say that Anthony is an amazing cook! a chef I must say! I remember he made some AWESOME firecracker wings and other kinds of yummy food at my birthday party. He's so talented! Oh and I must point out that Anthony and Mel love Disneyland. The happiest place on Earth with season pass that I can't afford : (
The photo shoot took place at Prospect Park in Redlands. It's a very beautiful place with lots of trees and a small chunky birds singing their love songs. it's cute. We all had a fun time that Saturday afternoon. Thanks guys for an awesome experience! You guys are fun and hope we can do another photo shoot again : )

A stupor-inducing, would-be thriller from Japan whose sporadic action and inept storytelling is as generic as its title.
There are many new Japanese movies that deserve a stateside release. Why this hapless mess beat them out is a question that deserves an answer. (I won't hold my breath waiting.)
Often gripping and ultimately poignant
A personal and political melodrama with perfunctory gunplay and explosions.
It's frustrating that Midnight Eagle is more concerned with puffed-up nationalist pride than logic. How did five characters' paths all converge at the exact same minute anyway?
The film's brisk pacing can't hide the fuzzy logic of the tenuously structured, convoluted script.
An unexpectedly personal thriller that thrives on complexity.
Poorly structured, filled with coincidences and plot holes, and laced with scenes of more-than-usually cloying sentimentality, this is oh!-so-far from the best representative of current Japanese cinema or of Asian cinema in general.
Like a series of subplot ships slowly meandering downstream to a final narrative focal point, Midnight Eagle has to be one of the most languid political thrillers ever conceived.
This is pure big-budget formula filmmaking, from the morally compromised hero who regains his self-respect to the spunky reporters, grim military strategists, winsome child, glib political posturing and tense countdown to apparently inevitable disaster.
As they say in Japan: sugoi! Cool!
Less an adventure than a confused message drama about Japanese military preparedness, it will have trouble building even a niche audience.
After early hints of potential Schwarzenegger-ish goofiness, Midnight Eagle settles into near-complete torpor.

I don't even know where to begin as I sit down to review "Deadly Swarm." Here is a movie about killer wasps with absolutely no sting. I know it sounds like I'm trying to be witty, but it's the truth. Miramax and Lionsgate definitely played it smart when dumping this straight-to-DVD and Blu-ray.
Crazed scientist Jacob Schroeder (J. Patrick McCormack) stops at nothing to trap thousands of killer wasps in the jungle of Guatemala. He's convinced that the venom from their stingers can be used for medicinal purposes to fight serious illnesses. The truck they are smuggled in crashes during an attempting to transport them across the border into the U.S. The container the wasps are held in breaks open, unleashing them on the innocent citizens of a small town. American entomologist Daniel Lang (Shane Brolly) and a meddlesome writer Sandra Kern (Kaarina Aufranc) must find a way to stop them before they wipe out everything in their path.
"Deadly Swarm" does have an interesting story to tell and a simple question to answer. The plot is well thought out but loses its potency somewhere in the transition from script to screen. The question asked is one brought up by Mr. Spock first in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan."
Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one? Are the deaths of a couple thousand residents of a small town insignificant if it helps to create medicines that can cure millions? Pretty deep stuff for a film about killer wasps to tackle.
The special effects for "Deadly Swarm" are what we've come to expect from these types of nature-gone-awry flicks. The cloud of wasps is evidently CGI and filmmakers don't really try too hard to hide it. How much extra money could it possibly take to make a cluster of wasps look more realistic? The giant welts found on the bodies of their victims are convincing and rather nasty looking, though.
The biggest problem with "Deadly Swarm" is it isn't visually graphic enough. People who watch these types of horror movies want to "see" the wasps stinging and crawling all over the victims. They want more gore and graphic imagery. This seems intent on playing it safe to appeal to a wider audience. Many viewers attracted by the "Not Rated" tagline are going to be angry or disappointed as the credits roll.
Even though "Deadly Swarm" is "Not Rated," it really should be PG-13. There's some bad language sprinkled throughout and scenes of victims with welts all over their bodies. The film is devoid of any nudity or sexuality, unless you consider a girl in a half shirt obscene.
I'm not entirely sure how "Deadly Swarm" came to be released by Miramax and Lionsgate. It's tailor-made for the SyFy Channel and obviously barely missed the clutches of Roger Corman. The only reason I could see Corman passing this up is if the filmmakers just flat out refused to allow him to have bikini-clad women running around senselessly while trying to escape being stung by wasps. It's B-movie fodder without the self-aware charm found in the Asylum or Corman's releases.
"Deadly Swarm" is available now on DVD.

Not at all. What I do NOT want is people being totally subsidized by the government living BETTER than I do while I have to work and pay taxes and they do not do either of those things.
I really want us ALL to play by the same rules as Obama says.
If they're living better than you, you're not doing very well at all.
It's not just cash and food they get.
I know people that pay 10 dollars a month for electricity and another 10 for gas...all year long for years. That's it. The only way to get on these programs is to be destitute and jobless. So, they make themselves destitute to get the benefits because working for minimum wage is almost impossible these days. They have a better, freer life on welfare. Not necessarily a better
of life.
On the side, they find other things to do such as fix cars or clean house for cash and don't pay any taxes to this crooked fucking government o spend on war and death.
I really don't see the problem here IF it's the collapse of this government that we are all seeking.
Anonymous Coward 27305279
Actually I don't either, as long as everyone including white people has equal access to these programs and benefits.
This is not the case according to much anecdotal evidence. We even had a thread about that once here on GLP and several people agreed. This has got to stop. The welfare lifestyle , such as it is, must be available for everybody or for nobody.
Anonymous Coward 27304459
I don't know why people falsely claim that there aren't many white people on these programs.
The majority on welfare are white and non-urban.

As I was reading through some blogs the other day, I came across a new column by Trina and Hanna. It's called "How We Do" and the idea is to pick a different topic each month and describe how you do that thing. This month the topic is the perfect December day and I really enjoyed reading the entries so far. My perfect day in December would look something like this:
If I were in my apartment in New York…
I'd wake up in the morning and look out the window to see that everything outside is covered in a layer of soft, fluffy, white snow. My bed would be so warm and cozy, but eventually I would pull myself out of it for a brief moment to make some peppermint tea.
After I make myself a cuppa, I'd quickly get back into my bed and get all bundled up again. Then I would pop open my computer to catch up on my favorite TV shows or watch a movie on Netflix. After a few hours, once I'm really, truly awake, I would hop into the bathroom for a nice long, hot shower.
Now I'd be ready to do some baking! I'd put on my colorful apron and of course, turn on my Christmas playlist. I would make classic sugar cookies and right when they're ready to come out of the oven, I'd make a fresh cup of tea to drink with my cookies. Then I'd retire back to my bed or to the couch in the living room with my tea, warm cookies and a good book.
My night would end with a classic Christmas movie. I'd drink a cup of hot cider and snuggle on the couch with my kitty Milton. My roommate would pop out of his room to see what I was up to and maybe, just maybe, I could convince him to watch a holiday movie with me.
If I were home in California…
I'd probably wake up to the sound of my brothers running around the house. I wouldn't mind though, because I'd just be happy to be home. I'd go downstairs to grab some breakfast and say good morning to everyone. We'd all still be in our jammies, talking and laughing in the kitchen and dining area.
Then my sister and I would decide to bake something, because you can never have enough sweet treats in your home around the holidays. We have a tradition of making cookies for the neighbors and then usually my brothers deliver them to each one of our neighbors. Of course, while they are "helping" us, one or two cookies usually go missing from the trays :)
After baking, my sister and I would clean up and then we'd pile the whole family in the car and drive around to look at the Christmas lights. One year my brother's teacher put up one of those light shows synchronized to music, so we drove to their house to check it out. It was set to top 40 hits and I have to admit it was pretty mesmerizing!
When we got home, we'd all get back into our pajamas and then we would pick out a holiday movie to watch. We'd get comfortable in our spots in the living room, pop a couple of bags of popcorn to share, and then start the movie. Most likely, my mom and dad would fall asleep early, but we kids would stay awake long into the night, all wrapped in blankets together.
Tell me: What does your perfect December day look like?

Can someone please tell me how we are already in the last month of 2013? I know everyone says it, but it really is crazy how quickly time goes by. This week was pretty busy for me- I went to a birthday dinner on Monday, saw Catching Fire with a few friends on Wednesday (I thought it was great) and today I'm hosting book club at my place. I also have a few fun activities to look forward to this weekend, including a brunch on Saturday and a tea party with a few blogger friends. Before we head into the weekend, I wanted to share a few links that I loved this week!
- The New York Times released their list of the best books of 2013. Have you read any of these?
- I thought this frosty holiday makeup look from The Beauty Department is really pretty.
- I'm not going to lie, I'm jealous of this apartment in Brooklyn. How can it look so put together after only three months?!
- These modern and simple holiday gift tags that Victoria designed are lovely.
- Nelson Mandela was a great man.
- In case you missed it, Pantone announced that the color of 2014 is 'Radiant Orchid.'
- Did you seen the painting of Morgan Freeman drawn on an iPad? If I didn't see this video, I wouldn't believe it either!
Tell me: What do you have planned this weekend?
(image via)
I didn't do too badly with last week's goals. I did order my holiday cards last Tuesday and I think they might arrive this week! I made them online and I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like. I also brainstormed some ideas for gifts. Come this Friday, I'll probably be shopping for these gifts from the comfort of my bed (no battling the crowds for me!). I also started The Circle, which I'm enjoying so far.
This week I want to…
- help my friend plan our Thanksgiving menu. For the past five years, I've been spending Thanksgiving with my good friend from college and her family. It's too far for me to travel back home to CA during this short break, so I'm happy I've found a second home here. I spend a few nights at her home and we always spend all day Thursday cooking together. It's fun and low-key and I can't wait to stuff my face on turkey day.
- finish a little knitting project that I'm working on. That's right, I've picked up my knitting needles again! I made one project earlier this year, but since then I haven't knit anything, which is a shame. The project I'm working on is a test knit, so I won't be able to share pictures, but I can say that it's a cute little hat. I'm happy to be knitting again (the colder weather just makes me want to be snuggled on my couch with my knitting) and I might choose a project for myself to start soon.
- see the new Hunger Games movie! Has anyone seen it yet?
Tell me: What are your goals for this week?
(original image via)
On my birthday, I woke up at the early hour of 8:30 am. I'd slept a grand total of two hours that morning, but for some reason I naturally woke up early. We didn't have any plans that day and had severals hours before we had to leave the hotel, so I decided the perfect activity for me right then was to take a nap on the beach.
Ahhh, it was so very relaxing. The weather was perfect and the sound of the waves softly crashing on the beach lulled me into a dreamy, sleep-like state. There were a couple of vendors walking back and forth across the beach and one of them was selling coconuts. With a little salt and lime sprinkled on top, the coconut was a perfect little snack for the beach.
After a few hours of lounging on the beach, the whole group decided to rally and walk to a restaurant at a nearby hotel. From the beach, we could see the hotel off in the distance and we slowly made our way towards it. Along the way, I saw this flock of birds hovering in the air. The interesting thing was that they were all in formation, but hovering together only a few feet off the ground. I'd never seen anything like it before!
Lunch was a simple, but delicious meal of fish tacos. After lunch, it was time for my group to say our goodbyes to the rest of people who were staying and head back to the airport. Of course I was really sad to go, but we decided that we must go back for a longer visit someday in the near future.
Thank you for following along with my Mexico trip! In case you missed it, here are parts 1 and 2 from last week.

It's really dark and scary inside this box. There are all these loud noises around me and I keep getting bumped but I can't see anything. Then I hear someone yelling and the box gets picked up and moved, and I'm really scared now. All of a sudden, the box opens! Gentle hands reach in and a soothing voice says, "it's okay kitty, you're going to be okay now".
He takes me to a place that's comfortable, warm and safe. I'm happy to be out of that box and off the street. I just wish that I could find my forever home. I know that the right person is out there for me, I just keep waiting for them!
I'm a sweet girl about 9 months old, and I like other dogs. Sometimes cats get on my nerves but I can learn to co-exist with them...if I have to. ;) I adore people and can't wait to meet all the people in the world!
Abigail's adoption fee is $65. It covers her spay, all shots, and FIV/FeLV testing.

CRITERION REVIEW: #579 THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (dir. Victor Sjostrom) 1921 The Film: Supplanting Haxan and Nanook of the North as the oldest film in The Criterion Collection, Victor Sjostrom's The Phantom Carriage is certainly a title upon which Criterion can be proud to bestow that particular distinction, as this eerie gothic fable didn't merely incite (and occasionally revive) Ingmar Bergman's fascination with the cinema, it was also considered by Charlie Chaplin to be the greatest film ever made. Sure, Chaplin's appraisal was made in the early 20s — a time before Chaplin had even seen the good Chaplin — but The Little Tramp's enthusiasm seems to transcend an awed appreciation for the film's (enduringly impressive) visual wizardry, suggesting instead that Chaplin was most struck by Sjostrom's soul-shearing direction and deceptively complex morality. Swedish cinema — particularly in the early days — is overrun by folklore, a trend that The Phantom Carriage both epitomized and guaranteed. The film begins beneath a sickly orange tint as a young Salvation Army worker named Edit (or Edith, but I prefer Edit) lies on her deathbed, stricken with tuberculosis. She insists upon seeing a man named David Holm before she passes, and dispatches someone to fetch him. Cut to a cemetery suffocated beneath a pale blue pall — three drunkards discuss Death, reciting (in one of the film's numerous and unapologetic scenes of pronounced exposition) the story of how the Grim Reaper gallops around in his spectral chariot, driven by the soul unfortunate enough to die at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. And guess what — it's New Year's Eve! And one of the three drunkards? Yup: David Holm (played by Victor Sjostrom, himself) . He's killed almost immediately afterward, and the brunt of the movie is then spent tracing his backstory. We see his troubled marriage and his cruel ways, the flashbacks revealing that Edit was so keen to see him because their paths had crossed one cold Swedish evening, and she had since been anxious to know whether her prayers for David to reform his ways had been heard. Sjostrom's streamlined adaptation of Selma Lagerlof's novel has often been accused of didactisism, but methinks that such readings are a bit reductive, and overlook the cynicism with which the film ultimately answers its most pressing questions. This isn't the story of a man being saved by God at the eleventh hour, this is the story of a man locked into the inertia of sinning — David can't submit to kindness, lest he be forced to confront the evil of his collective acts. It would be overwhelming, and Sjostrom's bracing performance as David — always directing the viewer's eyes to his face despite the static camera — wordlessly articulates this conflict with every crazed expression. Sjostrom is so impressive in the role that Bergman would later have him play the lead in Wild Strawberries, perhaps the Swedish cinema's most iconic protagonist. But Sjostrom's David isn't exactly imbued with the director's clarity of vision. He isn't able to express remorse for his actions until Death literally drags him away and (spoilers ahead) threatens him with the deaths of his wife and children. David knows full well the entire time that he loves his wife and is only making things worse with his boorish behavior, but it isn't until he's faced with a lifetime of ferrying the dead to the afterworld that he is able to seek forgiveness. The richness of the film's locations and Sjostrom's remarkable effects work are so self-evident that they demand less of a critical appraisal than they do an advertisement — the double and quadruple-exposures that allow the titular carriage to cut through the moral realm are so artful and well-conceived that they're eye-popping even today, worth the price of admission in and of themselves. Worthy of more detailed discussion are the two scores Criterion has provided, one of which is rather traditional, the other being a brooding ambient drone by experimental duo KTL, but this review is already running way long, but if so inclined you can head on over to the Criterion Corner Tumblr for more detailed comments. Altogether, The Phantom Carriage is a stunning piece of silent cinema. Its structure is a bit ungainly and it certainly runs a mite longer than it should, but this haunting midnight tale is a rapturous bit of work, a landmark of the silent cinema that still shivers with the fear of death. The Transfer: The booklet included in this release details the entire odyssey of The Phantom Carriage's meticulous restoration, which is as complicated an ordeal as you would expect from any film made in 1921 that still looks this great. The print is inevitably carved by lines and scratches and the whole thing flickers from time to time, but underneath the expected wear-and-tear is a gorgeous and bracingly clear image. This is a film that derives the brunt of its power from faces, in particular the broadly theatrical but critically shifting expressions that they wear like so many haunted masks. Criterion's Blu-ray allows you to see every line in Sjostrom's face as he struggles with the sort of pathos and remorse that few even attempted to wring from the silent cinema. This may not be the disc you bust out to show your friends how incredible 1080p looks, but The Phantom Carriage looks so good that Sjostrom's film is able to fulfill the timelessness of its potential, as the oldest film in Criterion's catalogue looks no worse than the rest of them. The Extras: First and foremost is a Criterion-exclusive commentary by film historian Casper Tybjerg, which proves to be an illuminating listen, and one that's likely to gently challenge your interpretation of the film. Not for nothing, but Tybjerg's voice is hypnotic to the extreme, itself proving to be almost as forcibly immersive as anything in Sjostrom's film. Criterion has also included an excerpt from Gosta Werner's documentary Victor Sjostrom, in which Bergman inevitably shows up to wax poetic on his personal and professional affection for the man who inspired his love for film. More intriguing is Peter Cowie's visual essay "The Bergman Connection," an 18-minute adventure that nicely illustrates exactly what its title suggests, while also passionately defending the universal appeal of each man's cinema. His notion that Bergman and Sjostrom relied on the supernatural to express the cinema's capacity for transcending everyday life is particularly impactful. The Best Bit: It's hard to argue against such a great commentary track, but I definitely want to call some attention to a supplement called "Construction of Rasunda Studios," a 4-minute collection of footage from 1919 in which Sjostrom and his peers can be seen constructing the space that would allow them to wrest such amazing sights from the story of The Phantom Carriage. The Artwork: Yeah, raving about the design of Criterion's menus swerves into some rather fetishistic fanboy territory, but it really has to be said that the little animation that plays out each time you fire up The Phantom Carriage is a work of art unto itself. From the cover art to the design etched atop the disc itself, this thing is a masterpiece of product design. The Verdict: 89 / 100 HEAD ON OVER TO MOVIES.COM TO READ REVIEWS OF CRITERION'S ENTIRE SEPTEMBER SLATE.

In addition to the MMOs and other titles included with this past February's announcement, ProSiebenSat.1 looks to take over EverQuest, Vanguard, and Wizardry Online as well. All in all, it gives ProSiebenSat.1 the exclusive license to operate these titles in 40 European nations.
SOE President John Smedley said that this is nothing but good news for European gamers: "ProSiebenSat.1 is the ideal partner for us to reach an even broader audience in Europe.

Gay marriage becomes legal in Sweden today
Post your comment
Reader comments
Very cool, Sweden. It should be like this everywhere. The church ddin't invent marriage and I don't see why they've appropriated it and think they can dictate to others what it means. Marriage should be a civil matter.
Progress, but churches should not be exempt in any way. If you offer a service then you must offer it to everyone who can use it – religion cannot ever be a valid reason not to do this. There is no difference whatsoever between a church refusing t marry gay people and a shop refusing to serve black people. Both should be criminal offenses and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Well done for firstly kicking the church out of the state by disestablishing the state religion. Secondly for giving gay people equal rights. The day will come when we put the church on trial and i think sweden may be a front runner in setting up a court to hear the evidence of 2000 years of hatred and murder perpetrated against us by the church.
Great for swedish democracy… an embaressment for all other european countries (including the UK) that have opted for second class unions (pacs, civil partnrshps cus, bananas, donkeys… whatever but not the word marriage which is only between "normal" people, like man, wife and plumber (her or his lover))
Not to mention the barbaric southern european nations like greece and italy (yes we're talking of the famous 3* world of europe) they are still 100% homophobic and enslaved by super squallid catholic and orthodox churches. Religion as always stopping progress… that's all.
Well done Sweden. The Swedes have always been one of the most progressive nations in Europe, if not the world.
Thank you thank you .. I wish it hadn't taken 55 years to do it.
Also, some credit belongs with other nations who have taken this step before us. -
thanks, bravo, Sweden. Just as we should not indulge one sided negatives when it comes to gay folks, so maybe we ought to avoid one sided negatives when it comes to people of faith. Religion is as religion does to neighbors – that is the Golden Rule, repeated in various forms among several different world religions. Sadly, the loudest religious leaders or institutions we often hear when changes occur are the negative ones. Still cannot quite figure out why the positive, caring believers sound so silent, while the nasty-negatives ones sound so loud. This change is a no brainer, and in time will seem like a tempest in a secular or religious teapot – so little will it negatively affect anybody in Sweden or around the world, gay or straight. Thanks again, bravo, Sweden. If my own USA continues to go downhill, I may take comfort in the idea that I might eventually flee to Sweden if/when things get bad enough.
Yep, full equality for Sweden. Many British gays embrace second class citizenship and have settled for it and nothing more. If they're so equal to marriage, why can't straights choose a partnership instead of marriage? Its clear by that alone that they are different and definitely not equal. They delude themselves thinking that they are. As more countries abandon legal segregation (anthing that separates a minority from the majority is segregation) for full marriage recognition, the UK and others will be left behind. It seems that the UK is the only one that believes in separate being equal. Sad, but it will catch up with them in one way or the other as they become outnumbered.

Social Media Even Home Home On The Range?!
Posted by Brad Bortner on September 24, 2009
More and more clients are asking me to help them assess how ready their clients (usually businesses) are to engage with them via social media. This generally drives a research project. The answers are aften much more positive than clients expect.
Recently I was presenting at a major conference by Purina. What amazed me is how many retailers and distributors of horse, goat, and cattle feed were using Facebook and Twitter to stay in touch with their clients on the range.
If Web 2.0 social media is that penetrated into the farbric of America, so that it is now common "out on the range," I can think of few other businesses that would not benefit from its adoption for marketing, market research, or generally driving customer intimacy.
Does anyone have any surprising social media stories they can share?

The Hockey News player of the week for the period of November 16-22 is San Jose's playmaking center Joe Thornton.
In three games on the week, Thornton racked up eight points to go along with a plus-3 rating.
His most impressive performance came in Friday's 6-3 defeat of the Philadelphia Flyers, where Thornton recorded four assists as his linemate, Dany Heatley, posted a hat trick. Thornton had 20:59 of ice time versus the Flyers, but only managed two shots on goal.
In their only loss on the week, a 4-3 defeat to the hands of Nashville, Thornton still tallied a goal and an assist with three shots in 22:31 of ice time. Saturday against Anaheim, Thornton had yet another helper and also potted his first game-winning goal of the season. The six shots he recorded against Anaheim were the most Thornton has posted this season.
As the Sharks continue to roll and sit atop the league with a 16-5-4 record, Thornton leads the way with seven goals and 25 assists for 32 points in 25 games, good enough for second in the league.

In a world where things are getting more and more personal, and most services these days offer a personalized and customized outcome, it is no surprise then, that Sony has taken steps to offer personalized charging. How is this possible, you ask? Well, by using their wireless communication technology and improvising on it, the FeliCa NFC chip will soon be able to play nice with home consumer appliances. This particular system from Sony allows an authentication handshake and communication between a device and the plug socket power supply, which translates to personalized electricity usage control as well as reducing power theft. Could the future end up as only your devices being charged in your abode, while your friends who drop by and want to juice up their phones will just have to get your permission before their devices are recognized by your home's power outlet?
Sony's FeliCa IC chip technology will be embedded into the chips of home appliances, including TVs and computers. Reader writers will also be installed into the plug sockets, where it then opens up the doors of communication between devices sans wires. Once the reader authenticates the device and owner, it will open the floodgates of power to juice up the appliance.

Vaughn DeLeath
Vaughn DeLeath
Vaughn DeLeath, although forgotten today, was a household name in the 1920s. She was born in Mt. Pulaski, IL, in 1894 (according to her birth certificate -- most sources say 1896) and her origins in show business are obscure. However in 1921, she was in on the ground floor of radio, singing in Chicago over WJZ. DeLeath's success on the air in the earliest days of radio was largely due to her endurance; able to accompany herself on banjo, ukulele, guitar, and piano, DeLeath could literally entertain for hours at a time when there was an excess of programming time and scant material to go on the air with.

At the end of last season, Jess and Nick finally got together. Will this development help New Girl's ratings in season three or end up hurting them? We'll have to wait and see.
New Girl revolves around a free-spirited young woman (Zooey Deschanel), her three single male roommates (Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, and Lamorne Morris), and her childhood best friend who's now a model (Hannah Simone).
The higher a show's ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
