Twelve Foot Ninja is a rock band formed in 2008 in Melbourne, Victoria. The band consists of Kin (Vocals), Russ (Drums), Stevic (Guitar) Damon (Bass) and Rohan (Guitar).
In August 2012, the band announced 'PROJECT 12' - a 12 week campaign leading up to the release of their debut album "Silent Machine". With 'PROJECT 12', they're releasing 12 x digital tracks along with 12 x digital comics each week for 12 weeks until their album was released on 2nd Nov, 2012. The album's first official single 'Mother Sky' was released on Aug 24, and the video was premiered on Triple J's Home & Hosed blog. The second single 'Coming For You' was released on 2nd Nov 2012.
Each song from the debut album comes with a comic, created by Keith Draws (UK), inspired by the lyrics and based on the original fable of Twelve Foot Ninja (co-written by Steve "Stevic" Mackay) The story follows a sole ninja's mission to restore balance in a world headed toward a self-inflicted apocalypse All the individual comics were later combined into a 72 page bound comic book.
In early 2013, Twelve Foot Ninja embarked on their first headline tour of Australia and sold out every capital city.
Prior to the launch of their debut album campaign, the band had released 2 EPs. The first, New Dawn, resulted in the band earning a Triple J Unearthed Number 1 with the track 'Dark Passenger', various support slots, and an appearance at Sydney's Come Together Festival. Their second EP, Smoke Bomb, was released in November 2010. Produced by the band's guitarist Steve "Stevic" Mackay in his Melbourne home studio, the EP was mixed by local producer/engineer Hadyn Buxton (Trial Kennedy, Jonesez, Blueline Medic, Dukes of Windsor, Felix Riebl) and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Deftones, Nirvana, Jeff Buckley) at Masterdisk, New York. Guest musicians on the release include Bär McKinnon (Mr.Bungle) on Saxophone and Ollie McGill (Cat Empire) on Keyboards.

My most recent Int Check, City of Sabaku, doesn't look like it's going to get any interest from this point. At last, not within the "budget" of time I have left. So here's another idea.
The general idea of this rp will be one of two things: We focus on a fan-made creepypasta and try a "survival" rp, or we just take one creepypasta idea each and have them mixed into a bigger plot. I'm still brainstorming this, so...yeah, I'd like ideas. But I do have a basic outline for the fan-Creepypasta idea, at least for the creepypasta itself. I will share it to attract interest if no one shows interest quickly enough. Sorry guys, but I need to rp to keep myself happy, and school and art projects are severely cutting my time into pieces.

La Joya School District parties vie for votes By Erika Flores With elections just a week away, the La Joya School Board race has stirred up a lot of controversy.
"Billy Leo had filed a restraining order that he didn't want any of our voters-any of our young people that we just registered to be assisted to vote," said Fito Salinas, who is running for La Joya School Board.
Supporters of the opposing party, "Join The Pack," told Action 4 News that they believe the party, "Get on the Bus," is influencing voters to vote for their candidates. Eden Ramirez, Junior, a candidate for place three, said if that's the case, the restraining order is necessary.
"To protect the vote, to protect the integrity of our electoral system and most importantly the vote for it to be free and safe," said Eden Ramirez, a "Join the Pack" candidate for school board.
But "Get on the Bus" incumbent Fito Salinas claims his party is not breaking any laws.
"We're not violating anything inside. We're doing it just to help them," said Salinas.
Salinas said he wants voters to trust his party has the right candidates for the job.
"We're running on the platform that we want to continue what we started in 2006," said Salinas.
He said he wants to help students get better test scores-and bring more programs to the school like transitional college.
But 21-year-old Eden Ramirez is running for the opposing party, and he said he was in school in the La Joya district just 3 years ago and said a lot needs to be changed.
"I want to have a better involvement with our community to bring the parents into the education," said Ramirez.
He said he just hopes the game of politics doesn't prevent this dream from becoming a reality as both parties vie for votes.
School Board Candidates:
La Joya I.S.D, Trustee Pl. 1 J.J. Garza Juan "JJ" Pena, Jr.
La Joya I.S.D, Trustee Pl. 2 Fito Salinas (I) Oscar "Coach" Salinas
La Joya I.S.D, Trustee Pl. 3 Eden Ramirez, Jr. Johnn Valente Alaniz (I)
La Joya I.S.D, Trustee Pl. 4 Gabriel Salinas (I) Narcisco "Chicho" Solis

I feel this might be dependent on your location. Check monster / other hiring tools to see what comes up. For my area, Zend, Magento (not really a framework, ecommerce tool built on Zend framework) and CodeIgniter are the highly demanded frameworks.
DJango is also a python framework, not PHPKyle Wolfe
PHPErrorNet: Convert all errors and notices to exceptions, add multiple exception handlers
PHPRouter: A simple route handler for when you don't need an MVC (RESTful API anyone?)
SimpleFlags: A more robust way to handle command line flags

Typical ending, still very enjoyable. No loose end was left untied. Pae got engaged to Tu. Aom committed suicide because she couldn't have Tor. Blah blah….typical.
I knew they would end with a hug on the beach but did the epilogue/love confession have to be 10 minutes long? It could have been just, "I love you and lets grow old together" and the end. But they keep on talking and kissing each other foreheads. Dude, keep it short and sweet.
Yeppers, Auey didn't commit suicide and it wasn't murder. It was an accident. Auey learned that Aom secretly love Tor so they got into an argument on the rooftop. Things out of hand, Aom demanded that Auey give up Tor so that she can have him. I know, Aom is pretty psycho. Aeuy refuses and tells Aom that she will let this pass and decides to go back to Thailand with Tor. Aom wasn't having that so she got physical. One thing lead to another, Auey falls off the rooftop.
JUST CAPS!!! No dialogue translation or description. GOtta go! See you tonight!

Club Lago
If you thought a chimney crashing through the ceiling and obliterating the kitchen below could keep Club Lago down, then you have obviously never been to Club Lago. Recovery was never in question for the feisty, 57-year-old pasta joint. Some of Lago's fans, on the other hand, aren't as strong, and how they survived Lago's six-month absence is anybody's guess. But at lunch there last week, we saw strong signs of recovery. Despite new paint and new beer taps, the place nevertheless looks exactly the same and is even staffed by the same servers (save the lone new girl), so it was easy to regress to old habits: massive portions of lasagna, soft roast beef on white bread, watery carafes of Chianti and—this is crucial—some pasta with Lago's meat sauce. Between bites, the regulars bantered with each other and with the Nardini brothers, filling the place with its characteristic clatter. But if you listened closely you could also hear some heavy sighs of relief. 331 W Superior St, 312-951-2849.

County Cork finally get their own passport for the Gathering 2013
Newly launched programme welcomes "friends, family and international visitors to the Rebel County"
The launch of Cork's programme of events for The Gathering 2013 announced over 220 spectacular events are planned to take place across Cork City and County during 2013, welcoming friends and family home to the 'Rebel County.' Among these initiatives is "Rebel Week" which will give those connected to Cork the opportunity to finally get their own "Cork Passport."
Cork's keynote Gathering initiative in its comprehensive 12-month calendar of activities is 'Rebel Week.' This focal point of The Gathering in Cork will showcase a week-long series of specially commissioned events running from October 14th-20th 2013.
Among the diverse events scheduled for 'Rebel Week' include a commemoration of the birth of revolutionary leader and Cork's first son, Michael Collins, on October 16th; a Cork Global Economic Forum; and a unique and novel 'Cork Passport' scheme where those wishing to get their hands on this coveted document must be willing to prove their Cork credentials. Applications are welcome on the 'Rebel Week' website.
Commenting on The Gathering's 'Rebel Week,' Padraic O'Kane, CEO of Corporate.ie (event promoters of 'Rebel Week') said, "Rebel Week seeks to embody the spirit of The Gathering in an engaging and, above all, lasting way. We are striving to ensure that through its activities, the week becomes a catalyst for Cork's economic rejuvenation in the short and longer-term. With a target of attracting 5,000 international visitors, the week is geared towards fostering a sense of inclusivity and 'family' among citizens, businesses and all sectors of Cork society that translates into civic and commercial renewal."
Speaking at the launch event, official Gathering Ambassador Darina Allen said, "Looking at the schedule of events for next year, it's going to be a fantastic opportunity to welcome friends, family and international visitors to the Rebel County."
From the 22nd to the 25th of August 2013, Cork will also play host to the World Mini Games. The multi-sport event, focused on reduced format versions of sports such as five-a-side football and rugby sevens, will take place at the Mardyke Sports Grounds and various locations around the city and county. Up to 30 different sports will be on offer for adults of all sporting abilities to compete for a World Mini Games title.
A key economic Gathering event will take place in Cork on January 21st and 22nd when the two day Irish Technology Leadership Group (ITLG) "Silicon Valley comes to Ireland" summit of global business leaders, high level executives, entrepreneurs and investors from the US and Ireland convenes in Cork. Cork City Council, Cork Chamber, UCC and CIT have partnered with the ITLG to bring this international event to Cork. This event is one of a series of initiatives to foster the recognition of Cork as a de facto European technology cluster and is being developed in collaboration with local industry and it@cork.
The Gathering is about reconnecting families and communities and extending the invitation to the Diaspora to come home and join in the celebration. One community embracing this is Allihies village which, from September 12th to 15th 2013, is welcoming the copper-mining Diaspora home to trace their ancestral roots. During the 1800s, Allihies was a flourishing community due to the abundance of copper in the area, but when the mines became exhausted many workers emigrated across the world, particularly to Butte Montana, a city that is also known today as 'Shamrock City'! The celebrations will culminate in a choir singing deep within the mines of Allihies.
Among the events to take place next year is The Irish Redhead Convention which makes a welcome return to Crosshaven Co. Cork. Fiery-locked participants from overseas and around the country will receive their certificates of genuine ginger authenticity, compete in freckle counting contests, and take part in the traditional redhead parade through the village.
From the Cork Stout Festival to the Spike Island Triathlon to the Cork City Marathon taking place on Bank Holiday Monday, June 3rd, and the numerous clan gatherings in between, The Gathering 2013 will see Cork opening its arms with a 'Céad Míle Fáilte' to welcome friends and family home from all over the world to be part of a fun-filled year of celebration and great craic!
Significant investment has been made by key stakeholders Cork County Council, Cork City Council, Fáilte Ireland, IPB and Cork Airport to the tune of approximately €1 million to ensure that Cork has The Gathering of all Gatherings in 2013.

Texas Task Force 1 has a new leader, and its the person who has been in charge since the resignation of its old leader.
Billy Parker has been in the interim director of the state's urban search and rescue team based at Texas A&M. Thursday, it was announced he was going to be the permanent director.
His predecessor, Bob McKee, resigned during an investigation into an anonymous complaint filed about him to a third-party service used by the Texas Engineering Extension Service. That investigation continues despite McKee's resignation.
Parker has been with TEEX for three decades. The service notes in a press release he is "widely recognized as a pioneer and expert in the field of urban search and rescue." His leadership of TX-TF1 during deployments like the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina were also recognized in the announcement.
The Texas A&M System Board of Regents gave Parker its Regents Fellows Service Award in 2006.

It Can Be Done!
April 3, 2012
Professor Andrew Odlyzko leads off this week's Outside the Box with a familiar litany:
"A superpower with crippling debt, exorbitant taxes, glaring inequality, wages far exceeding those of competitors, high and persistent unemployment, lack of basic workplace skills, malnutrition, a rapidly growing rival across the ocean to the West, heated debates about the role of government in the economy, and widespread pessimism about the future."
And then he asks the obvious question: "Could that be any country but the U.S. today, with China as the looming threat?" The answer of course is yes, but do you know which country, and when? Here's another hint: a technological revolution was largely responsible for pulling this country back from the brink and setting it on a sustainable course again.
Another hint for you: this is the only country in history that has pulled off such a feat. It did it in part by issuing 3% "perpetual" bonds (which never had to repay the principle, though they eventually did), an option no nation is likely to get away with today; but the author's point – and it's a very important one, given our present situation – is that it can in fact be done. If we can manage to make a few reasonably smart shortand medium-term fiscal and other policy decisions, and then provide the right set of conditions for the next great technology breakout – I'm thinking the incredibly fertile and dynamic interface involving biotech and nanotech, robotics and artificial intelligence, along with next-gen telecom and energy revolutions – then there's no reason why the 2020s can't go down in history as the opening era of a global golden age.
This is more economic history than macroeconomics, but I find it very instructive and oddly hopeful. Professor Andrew Odlyzko is a professor in the School of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota. He is engaged in a variety of projects, from mathematics to security and Internet traffic monitoring. His is currently writing a book that compares the Internet bubble to the British Railway Mania of the 1840s, and explores the implications for the future of technology diffusion. I look forward to reading that book.
On Tuesday morning, April 24 I will be speaking at a conference on demographics sponsored by the Global Interdependence Center. It will be held in Philadelphia at the LeBow College of Business of Drexel University and chaired by Bill Dunkelberg, who I am working with on a book on employment. (Bill is a professor at Temple University and the chief economist for the National Federation of Independent Business). The conference is quite reasonably priced and focuses on a topic I am quite fond of. You can find out more at http://www.interdependence.org/programs-and-events/event-registration/programs/the-30th-annual-monetary-trade-conference-demographics-politics-and-economic-growth/
I am back in Dallas for the evening but leave tomorrow morning on a 7:30 flight to NYC to speak at a Bloomberg Trade Book event, then back late Wednesday afternoon, in time to take my daughter Amanda to a Mavericks game. And I'll be home for almost two weeks! And then I resume a rather peripatetic bout of travel for almost two months, concluding with a few weeks in Tuscany.
Have a great week!

14 years ago, was a last time I kept Red Terror, breeding pair. One of my favorite SA. Beautiful but very aggressive, I am sure most aware of it. I finally free up some space and got 2 juv of wild fish from Ecuador.
As of now I only want to keep one male, I hope from these two 5 cm guys I got lucky and end up with one. The reason I want only male is that I am going to place him in 220 gal with few other large cichlids and I don't want pair who will definitely have an idea to breed and bring the terror to the other tankmates. It is very well may happen with even single moody male, but I'll watch close. Once I had to let go all rowdy fish from similar sized tank because of the Festae pair.
Here some pictures from new arrival and picture of the pair from past that I mention above.

In our second interview of the day today (check out our sit-down with B.o.B from earlier this morning), we have a one-on-one chat with Ace Hood just outside the Bulls locker room at the United Center! See, Ace Hood was a performer, alongside Roscoe Dash, Malik Yusef, and special guest Scottie Pippen (who spoke, not rapped), to a gathering of Chicago high school men's and women's basketball teams at the UC for Nike Basketball's #BasketballNeverStops campaign (a clever campaign given the ongoing lockout, that sadly will likely kill the entire season based on today's news).
Anywho, the video... Ace Hood talks with Jen DeLeon about the reasoning behind the title of his latest album Blood, Sweat, & Tears, the creative process behind his hit single working with Chris Brown on "Body 2 Body" (the remix dropped today... see: below), and what it felt like to perform at the United Center. This interview is one of our more unique ones because Stan Perry & I were filming the performance and then immediately after, we pulled Ace aside for a few quick questions. So basically, this video contains the end of Ace's performance, followed by our raw footage of meeting him backstage, leading right into the interview. #Hustlin See for yourselves above and expect more footage from #BasketballNeverStops throughout the week!

Radio Executive Carl Hirsch Dies of Heart Attack at Age 64.
Radio Executive Carl Hirsch Dies of Heart Attack at Age 64.
Hirsch's friend, Emmis CEO Jeff Smulyan told Radio Ink when he heard the news his jaw dropped. "It was just a shock. Carl was a very likeable guy, a very good guy. He was one of the great entrepreneurs of this business." Like everyone else, the passing of Hirsch was a surprise to Smulyan who started in Radio at about the same time Hirsch did.
NextMedia's Jeff Dinetz told Radio Ink he had the honor of working with Carl twice in his career. "The first time was in 1983 at Z100, then 17 years later with NextMedia. Carl was P.T. Barnum who had the ability to make his staff's "go for the gold." Our Malrite meetings were legendary. Every employee in the company was invited to places like Colorado, Scottsdale and Orlando. You were proud to be a part of that company."
"He had that same intensity at NextMedia. He made coming to work fun and it was impossible not to laugh when you were in his presence. Most of all, Carl knew how to live. He worked hard, but he took the time to enjoy life. He was a proud man who spoke of his children, his fellow workers, and his beloved Cleveland. He was very generous and made significant donations to many causes. Today is one to truly reflect on his life."
Hirsch was president/CEO of Malrite from 1974-1985. He ran Legacy Broadcasting from 1986-1990. In the 1990s, he was president and CEO of OmniAmerica. In 1999 he founded NextMedia, which owns and operates broadcast properties around the country. Most recently, he had been doing consulting through his Legacy Management Group.
Hirsch was also known for his philanthropy. He was generous to his alma mater, Kent State University, giving $500,000 for the Carl E. Hirsch Media Convergence Lab. Last year he gave $1 million to the Cleveland Clinic Florida Health and Wellness Center, its largest single donation ever, which named its main lobby was named after him.

(3/2/2011 11:47:08 AM) Carl Hirsch was born to be a radio person. For Carl, radio was not a way to make a living but a way of life. Carl did not go to "work "in the morning. He hurled himself into the day with a level of energy and excitement beyond compare. Carl believed that a new idea was a good idea! He spent his career embracing change, understanding human energy, cultivating creativity and daily exhorting colleagues to meet new challenges. He expected the best from those around him and his confidence in people was returned in kind. The industry is populated with professionals mentored by Carl. Carl Hirsch announced himself with his very presence. Whether the gathering was small or large there was never any doubt that he was in the room. In the early days at Malrite Broadcasting Carl assembled a fabulous team of programming people who have left a permanent mark on the evolution of FM music and personality radio. It is appropriate that his radio hometown is the location of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. As radio history unfolds, we gain greater knowledge and respect for the fact that the industry was built by strong, smart, committed, bold, risk taking, creative and larger than life personalities! Carl's legacy has placed him at the top of the register of those who made a difference. |

I first posted this over a year ago, not long after I started selling on Etsy. I'll repost it here now.
I'm pretty new to selling on Etsy, and so far one of the best learning exercises I've had was to join a Treasury making team. I thought it would be fun, but it actually turned into a very valuable analysis of what I'm selling and how effective my photography and marketing is.
Here is how I have benefited from joining a Treasury making team:
Self Confidence – Suddenly my work was featured in several Treasuries each week! I was getting exposure! What a great boost to my ego!
Who Gets Promoted, and Why? – My general Etsy shopping behavior is browsing from the front page, the Treasuries, or in the Etsy newsletters. My group requires members to create three Treasuries a month, each promoting at least 8 of the team members. This commitment requires me to visit the same shops again and again. I realized that there were some sellers and some specific items that were used a lot by all of us, and other sellers who were rarely featured. I also realized that there are people in the group who in theory I wanted to promote, but I just don't like their photos enough to use them. So the reality is that some shops get more love than others, and I know this is because their photos are better. I don't think I would have learned this without my Treasury Team experience.
My Photos - I have about 50 items in my shop, and I have realized that some items are getting frequent promotion and others don't get any at all. I wondered why, so I analyzed my listings carefully and found that for the most part, the photo quality was about the same. So it wasn't that some items had rotten pictures. What was different was the type of photo. The curators were showing a tendency to select one particular item that is promoted with a cropped photo. Because of the crop, you can't tell exactly what it is. The photo does not suggest an immediate name, use or stereotype to the item. The photo actually creates a sense of intrigue or mystery. As a result, this photo fits in really well with many other items: it simply looks nice, and doesn't interfere with associations or context that the other items might have created. Since this analysis, I've actually made an effort to use the same type of photo for other similar items.
One other Thing About My Photos – is that there might be an advantage to the mystery and intrigue that a cropped shot can create. I make lingerie and that is a type of garment that is all about mystery. Subtlety can be good, as you can see in this comparison (totally work safe) and(uh…. Exactly where is my 13 year old son right now?) I really think that the mystery that a well-cropped photo can generate can attract attention.
Seeing Available Products – After visiting the same sellers multiple times to create my Treasuries, I started to get a feel about what people are posting on Etsy. This awareness is probably going to influence the work I create in the future.
In Summary – Unless you're selling a product that thrives on really specific tagging (like vintage sewing patterns) then your photos really are your primary marketing tool on Etsy. You've got to make them work for you!

RHEL and variant clients had lots of trouble with NFS IO performance using broadcom chipsets talking to SUSE 9/10 in the past. I filed a bug with RH many moons ago on it, and it got kicked because we didn't have a support contract for the machine. Our workaround was to turn off jumbo packets on the client and servers and turn off UDP mounting from the client side. This worked quite well in production at several customers.

Suitable from 9 - 18kg
Order in the next 7 hours 45 minutes for express home delivery on Monday
The Maxi-Cosi Axiss is specially designed to turn 90 degrees allowing you easy access to your child to secure them in the car-seat or take them out when you've arrived. This award winning, innovative car-seat also has a colour indicator that lets you know the car seat is locked properly after the child is seated safely. Adjustments to the height, sitting position and straps can be made, hassle free.
Literally takes the strain and hassle out of having to twist your child into a conventional car seat. When my daughter is asleep she doesn't wake up in the transition from pushchair to seat due to not having to fight and battle to get her in side ways! Superb buy
very easy to fit holds Rosie snug and safe
Great services and price,
This car seat is fantastic for getting a wriggling child into the seat without having to twist and strain your back. Easy to install and use, it is very robust and reasonably simple to clean; the cover is removable and washable but only by hand! It is simple to install and feels very secure when fitted. It grows with your child and our last one lasted nearly three years so a good investment. It is quite heavy if you want to move it between cars often but not prohibitively so and although bulky not particularly more so than other seat available.
The design makes this product functional. It is all about getting baby in and out of the car safely and quickly. To be able to rotate the chair, so baby is facing towards me is fabulous. For those with even slight mobility impairment, this product makes it easy to move baby with minimal bending and stretching. I love the fact that I can see baby's face and know he is ok. The tilting function allows baby to rest comfortably and go to sleep. Fitting it is easy, even for a non technical person like me and once in - that's it for the next few years. I was so impressed, I bought two, so my daughter could experience the same great benefits as me.

The Yuma Bike Club has seen many facelifts since the organization was founded in 2007 and is undergoing another as it prepares for its first triathlon under current president Ariel Cortez.
Since Cortez joined up with the club, he's been ecstatic with the results.
"For me, the mission is just to teach these kids who may or may not be into a sport, to present that in a safe environment and hopefully move on from there. It is an NCAA sport, so it's endless. Any college can say, 'Hey, you did this?' We're just building those portfolios in these young athletes."
Cortez has recruited coaches to help the young athletes with all three facets of their triathlon game, including former Turkish national team middle distance runner Aybuke Keehn, who is now a faculty member at Arizona Western College.
The hardest part still for Cortez and his coaches is instilling in the athletes that they can do more than one thing well.
"That's the struggle, because they don't see," Cortez said. "They think that all they know is running. I say, 'Hey, here's a $2,000 bike, try it.' And they realize, hey, I'm actually decent. Some are a little bit intimidated, but if you're good at two, say run and swim, you're ahead of everybody anyway. If you can ace two, you're already ahead."
The club has been showing off its running skills at races in Yuma as well as in the Phoenix area. Bike club member Keondre Willoughby earned first place in the 2013 Great Yuma Road Race. He ran a 24:58 in the 10-12 age group.
"There's anxiety (for the kids)," Cortez said. "But the coaches see that spark and they just are waiting for the kids to see it. Everybody's there, the potential's there, the kids just don't see it. It's a small-town mentality. We went to Phoenix and the kids realized they're faster than they think they are."
The Yuma Bike Club TRI team holds running practices every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Carver Park Track and swimming practice every Saturday from 6:45 to 8 a.m. at Marcus City Pool.
The bicyclists get together every day at 4 p.m. at the Chevron station on 32nd Street and Avenue B. From there, they take off for San Luis and back.
"We're trying to get these guys cross-trained so that they can do bike, swim and run efficiently and competitively," Cortez said.

Thread: Your Children's dads.
- 14th-January-2012 #1
Your Children's dads.
From The dads4Kids newsletter.
Every now and then you read a story that really inspires you. A story that recently inspired me was about Bruce Feiler, who, when he found out he was dying of cancer, set up a Council of Dads for his daughters. It helps that Bruce Feiler is a New York Times best selling author, but the story itself is amazing from start to finish because it carries the seeds of what we all long for: love, friendship, faith, family and true community. This excerpt from Bruce Feiler's blog tells the story well.
Bruce Feiler's twin daughters, Eden and Tybee, were 3 when he was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer in 2008. Just days afterward, the best-selling Brooklyn author came up with the idea of asking six friends to look out for his daughters should he not survive. Feiler's moving new book, "The Council of Dads," tells their story.
How did the Council of Dads come about?
It was a reaction to a fear about wha tmy daughters' lives might be like without me. The first thing I imagined was all the things I would miss ... all the questions they would have. "What would Daddy think about this?" "What would Daddy say about that?"
Where did the idea spring from?
I awoke from a half sleep, and there was... this letter forming in my head to my closest friends asking them to be there to answer my daughters' questions. I said out loud, "I will call this group of men the Council of Dads." As soon as I said those words, it seemed like they lived in the room.
How did you choose the members?
I was trying to fill the dad space. My wife, Linda, and I agreed that we should pick people who embodied all sides of me, each phase of my life. There is a travel dad. A make-your-dreams-happen dad. A values dad. A playful dad. A thinking dad. A nature dad. Now I kind of think of it as a team of godparents updated for a modern age.
How did it affect your friendships withthe men?
The first time I read the letter to a friend I'd chosen, he's crying. I'm crying. He said yes, and I was taken aback. I hadn't realized this was a request you could turn down. In the end, they weren't family, they weren't just friends anymore. We − my wife and I and the girls − just had this whole new relationship in our lives.
It also changed your life?
The Council of Dads turns out to be less about parenting and more about friendship. We all think there's a divide between family and friends. And when you have children, you can be so busy you think you don't have time for friends. This built a bridge between our closest friends and our closest treasures, our children.
How did the Council work?
They never came together. They would come to see me in the hospital. But what started happening is that they would always build in time to visit with the girls. These aren't just Daddy friends anymore. They are friends of theirs. The girls have nicknames for all of them.
You're cancer-free. What is the statusof the Council of Dads?
There is something incredibly powerful about telling your closest friends what they mean to you. It's like we're friend-married now. It's like "till death do us part."
The Council is an idea that is catchingon.
The word has gotten around, and others are forming their own councils. I'm seeing divorced women do councils of dads because they want the male voice in their children's lives. Women have councils of moms. I'm involved with a special program with the military to form councils of moms and councils of dads.
What do your daughters know about theCouncil?
They know they have a Council of Dads. They don't know that the shadow of mortality hangs over the thing. I want to be honest with them, but not too honest.
Who would you ask to be in your Council of Dads if you found yourself in the same situation?
If nothing else this is a meditation on our own mortality and the need to build better bridges between your friends and family.
Happy Meditating!
Yours for the Council of Dads

Excellent post Percy - it has echoes of Ancient Greece in it.
The greatest enemy of the truth is very often not the deliberate lie - but the persistent, persuasive and unrealistic myth that the lie creates

Re: Your Children's dads.
good idea indeed.. lets hope the femistate doesnt hijack it and twist it to suit the feminazis.. as they always try to do when men do stuff that helps kids..
Before you know it, they will be running checks on every male involved to see how many false allegations he has been guilty of being accused of..

I have tried twice to get the script to work. I've followed these instructions: For Windows 7, you go to the website http://registry.gimp.org/node/186 and as you can see there are 3 options under attachment: layerfx.scm , layerfx.py , layerfx.2.8.py
1. Right-click on layerfx.2.8.py and you are going to get a few options like: Open link in a new tab, Open link in a new window (if you are using Firefox)....etc. Select the one that says "Save Link As".
2. A new window is going to pop up and it's going to ask you where you want to save your file. But before save it, YOU MUST DELETE THE .txt from the file (this is important), I don't know why it adds that .txt
Again, before you save it, you file should have the following name, this is important: layerfx.2.8.py NOT layerfx.2.8.py.txt. Now you can save it anywhere you want.
3. Copy and paste your file that you just downloaded , layerfx.2.8.py (again NOT layerfx.2.8.py.txt) to the following folder: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins
but as soon as I get to actually downloading the file, it saves it as the layerfx.2.8.py.txt file. Since I can't change the file type, in order for me to use it properly, this file is useless to me and I really wanted to use it.
Can someone please explain to me what I am doing wrong?
Hello every one
First thanks from JonStipe for his great layer effects plugin for gimp.
My question is something like a feedback :)
Why layer Effects plugin preview windows haven't enough speed?
When I use this plugin I'm like a blind man and my final result is really fortuitous and I play with numbers to find my custom result and that in 80% isn't my custom result and it showed some late.
Please add a faster preview window to this awesome plugin.
thanks again.
Regards Samad
Actually I had required to know more about layer effects. Now I can install it correctly & can apply the effects to my created layers perfectly. Thank for share.
Hi, new girl here...
I tried to download the .scm file and got an error message that Windows couldn't open it because it didn't recognize the program that wrote it. What else can I do to get this plug-in? I'd really love to have it.
The above noted steps are not correct, and i was lucky to find a video on YouTube, that directed me to the right easy way for installation.
thought to share my experience.
Thank you so much for the information, i have followed propperly and now i have Script-fu added in my menu and it works,, best regards
I'm using GIMP 2.8.2 (from gimp.org) freshly installed on a Windows 32bit system. I have tried both the regular python version and the 2.8 py version with the same behaviour for both version. I have been getting multiple errors like this: "GIMP Error - Calling error for procedure 'gimp-gradient-get-uniform-samples': Procedure 'gimp-gradient-get-uniform-samples' has been called with value '(null)' for argument 'name' (#1, type gchararray). This value is out of range."
I was getting the same error for all the effects that use gradients. Managed to solve the problem when I noticed that by default (the default tool options) the gradient fill tool had no gradient selected. When I selected a gradient, the layer effects started to work again. Just thought it would be useful to post here if anyone is having the same problems.

BREAKING NEWS: House Approves Budget Agreement, 332-94
Americans for Prosperity Rally to Repeal Obamacare (right-click to copy direct link)
Washington, DC Friday, August 3, 2012
Conservative group Americans For Prosperity hosted a "hands off my healthcare" rally on Capitol Hill to encourage Congress to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Presidents of three organizations that are against the health care law spoke at the rally. They included: Tim Phillips of President of Americans for Prosperity, Penny Nance of Concerned Women for America and Jim Martin of 60 Plus.
The Affordable Care Act was upheld by the Supreme Court in June and the House voted to repeal the bill in early July. The Senate, controlled by the Democrats, has not taken up the bill.
The health care act has been in the news this week due to certain provisions of the bill, which took effect on August 1, including provisions for women's preventative services and contraception, and a rule preventing insurance companies from charging women more than men for the same policy.
