- The Millionaire Matchmaker Patti is Furious Thurs 9/8c
South Africa was amazing! The ten day vacation with the girls will be remembered forever. Even though there was drama, I choose to remember the genuine moments that we shared together, like at the orphanage. That was my favorite day! I know that I am forever humbled and truly blessed. Those children will be forever in my prayers and in my heart.
Were baaack! It always feels good to get away for a few days, but with these girls, ten days felt like ten years! Lord have mercy! At times it was kind of like walking through a land mine, and if you didn't watch your step, you could be blasted at any time! Anything and everything you said was blown out of proportion, everything was a big deal (even when it wasn't), and there was "shade" around every corner. Forever the optimist, the good always outweighs the bad with me. Positive affirmation will carry you far. The drama was inevitable on a trip like this. It was just a matter of time. Overall, drama or not, it was still the trip of a lifetime. Anyway, I missed my family so much and it felt good to be back home.
Love you girl.. they should get rid of the smalls and just have the talls,, the smalls are so boring !!! i hate watching the show when the talls don't have that much screen time
Why am I not surprised that you would take NeNe's side in not getting her child out of jail the minute she was told about it. mm mm mm
For once I agree with Peter... Peter must know some things that go on inside those places. I Would not give a damn what my child did (besides murder or something along these lines) and I would not give a damn where I was at I'd still rush home and get his behind out!!!
I've never been so angry reading one of these blogs like this one!!!!!!!!!!
Cynthia, can you get a clue honey, or are you that hard up to have a friend like nene??? UGH!
I pity that boy. :(
TOUGH LOVE… for sure! (The Irony of Cynthia's words)
This message is for Mallory: You are a beautiful, caring woman who truly has her family's best interest at heart. It's so apparent that you love your sister Cynthia but she is not ready to listen to you or anyone for that matter when it comes to her husband. I know it's hard to watch someone you love being taken advantage of, especially by a man who doesn't truly love them. Just be there when she needs you and that will be very soon. Cynthia needs a dose of Tough Love, unfortunately she will learn the hard way.
Your husband Peter's advice to Nene is stupid as always. He's not gonna learn a lesson from bailing him out...and that's not Tough Love.
Wow. No gift for your husband of 1 year after such a big trip. He's obviously on your mind when you are away, NOT.
I feel for Nene and what she is going thru with her son going to jail for something so small and petty. I think he is taking her dor granted for everything she has done for him. Then again it could be krama... Nene keeps drama going between the girls therefore things happen in her life that shouldn't be.
Appreciate you taking the higher road in this episode. You stirred the pot too much in the previous episode. These women are CRAZY and will fight over any and every thing. Not sure I can endure much more of this behavior. Screeching and squalling til they are almost speaking in tongues. Sheree I really blame for all the mess at the end of the last episode and this one. You can just see her delight and how sneaky she is. Does Kim's head not remember when the Shrew Sheree tried to pull off her very secure wig??? One would think she would remember that incident and not put her relationship with Sheree into fairyland. Kandi did nothing wrong.
Thanks for blogging! I just felt bad for Peter since you didn't get him a souvenir from Africa. His feelings seemed hurt. But other than that you seem very happy. Best of luck!
Im proud of you and Peter for making your marriage work. That is an important accomplishment. Im not sure Peter is your provider yet as you expected but he is trying. I also think he expected an arm candy model and got a strong, opinionated female. But kudos to the both of you and Happy Anniversary.
NeNe was 100% right when it came to dealing with Bryson: He certainly needed to sit in the jail for a moment over the shoplifting, so he could think about whether or not he'd ever want to make a return trip to jail for a much longer stay over something a lot less trifling than two razors.
I hope Bryson re-evaluates where he's going and WHO he's going with, and realize that his Mom NeNe loves him. I remember a long time ago the episode when NeNe was taking to Bryson to college. I thought she was a good Mom then too!
I just have to say Sheree is a messy hypocrite. She judges Marlo for messing with an old wealthy man but now she is bff with Kim who slept with a married man for money. I am disgusted with her and Kim and can't stand to watch the two of them. Kandi was right about Kim, she is high maintenance... Remember the tour she and Kandi went on... She behaved like a high maintenance prima Donna with no talent or class.
You're right about a big deal made out of nothing. The show would be so much better to watch if there were more charity activities and less bickering about Marlo loving her fashions or Nene saying she's rich or if Kim would have gone to Africa or not and all the she said stuff. I like it when you replied to Phaedra when she said we were just talking about you after you all talked on the boat. You said, but you can't talk about me no more. You were reminding her that you all had agreed to stop doing stuff like that.
Cynthia you are so freaking 2 faced... Somebody one day is going to kick your butt. I hate watching the show when you are on the screen. You dont make any sense and dont know how to stand up for yourself. Let me tell you something honey " you will either stand for something or fall for anything"
I just dont get why you feel the need to constantly try and throw little digs in towards Kim because of your wedding fiasco last season. Move on and be a better example for your daughter. Also, maybe you should put a filter on that husband of yours mouth, cannot believe you let him talk about and to your sister the way he does. That is your family, family before marriage sista.
It was so funny how - when Nene wanted to prove that you & Marlo had your own minds - she commanded "your girls make your own decisions, RIGHT?" And like obedient dogs - "YES" - all you left off was 'MASTER'. Wake up!
I don't really care for you, Cynthia. ( at least the you that is portrayed on TV). You are extremely two-faced and a NeNe suck up.
You are the one who caused the fight between Sheree and that crazy woman NeNe invited to Africa by running back to them after Sheree invited you to her friend's dinner.
I would never trust you again.
Grow up Girl...Find yourself..Kick NeNe and Marlo and Your husband out of your life...Because that do not have the class that you bring into a room...Look at the Women in the mirrow..
After watching episode about Nene and her son I was very inspired to write in. This situation is whats wrong with young black men. They mess up and their mama's rescue them. Nene DID THE RIGHT THING by leaving him there and leaving it up to THE LAW to decide when he gets out. He didnt kill anyone, so they wasnt going to keep him there forever.
I am very proud of Nene for doing the right thing.
Cynthia, Noelle and Peter's relationship is beautiful. How lucky you are to have a warm and loving daughter who loves and respects the lovely relationship you have with Peter. Love them both and quit your bitchin'
Hi Cynthia, forget listening to what the haters have to say, your nice and classy and loyal to your friend NeNe... I wish you the best and I know you're gonna take care of yourself. Tell you're sister to stop worrying about you because your a grown woman and are fully capable of taking care of yourself. Please do not let them draw you into the drama... stay neutral. I don't think you felt that Marlo would go off... I saw the upcoming scenes and how you felt bad that your sister was embarrassing herself, she loves you but she is way too close and needs to give your space ... its called respect. Cynthia your a sweet person and its ok for you to be loyal to your friends, it does not seem that any of the other girls know anything about that, except Kandi and Phaedra... stay the beatiiful and mature person that you are and don't air dirty laundry on the screen.
I love you Cynthia. You're beautiful. You're positive. You're a good friend. I think it goes without saying that, one large piece of drama, was all because of you, but that's over. I'm happy that you and Peter survived one year so far. I really do like Peter too. My only problem with you two is...WHY do you two make it out that you have little money and then turn around Peter goes to a party planner trying to talk the man into a low price. I know you two probably aren't truly "broke" but if you can't afford a big budget, why not just throw a nice small, private gathering of friends/family? The sight of Peter telling the party planner he had no down payment, made me cringe. The look of disdain on the party planner's face made me cringe even further.
Cynthia congrats to you And Peter on your one yr annivasery may God bless you guys with many more.i see a lot of people here living negatives comments towards you,don't pay them no mind they must not be happy in thier own lifes...love you #teamtalls....
Cynthia I have been sticking up for you when others called you a follower. But now, sadly I must agree. When NeNe wasn't around you said one thing about Marlo. But when she did come around you said the opposite. Does that not cause you any pain seeing how weak you are when the show airs? Don't you want to set a better example for young women?
cynthia, you are a nice person and good friend, your daughter noelle is a nice and well behaved child. there are a lot mean spirited evil people that don't want to see you and nene friends because they hate her. but you know her way better than they do and you know her off camera. you can't let people tell you who to be friends with, or who to marry. because you are a nice person, i think you would like to be friends with the smalls too, but you can see how two faced they are. why did you invite that evil creature sheree to your anniverary party? she came in being sarcastic and mean, she din't need to be there because she don't like you, she really don't like anyone because she is miserable as hell.
Cynthia, I hurt for you...the scenes shown from the next episode of Peter being so comfortable asking you for $1,000. after you questioned him about the party, size, expense and he said he was going to take care of everything; then when he publicly made such a nasty toast directed at your sister. How do you not see this man for what he is? He's a user and abuser!
>"Remember the tour she and Kandi went on... She behaved like a high maintenance prima Donna with no talent or class".
^^^I quoted this from Calley.^^^
But rememeber who had blue eyes do their packing... yep, Marlo and NeNe. Talk about HIGH MAINTENANCE, THAT would be those two!! So there ya go. . .
Cynthia, you are cool and a beautiful lady! Listen to your sister, she isn't all wrong with what she is telling you about Peter. As for NeNe, you can be her friend but always watch your back.
You are too beautiful and sweet to be with someone like Peter!! What were you thinking. Btw your daughter is sweet and appreciative!
Why don't you and the ladies form a group to supply the school in Africa with monthly supplies. Maybe what you ladies need is a positive project to work together on. Eating in restaurants, buying clothes and shoes just doesn't add good character. If you're living large like that, share some of the wealth with people who really need it and will appreciate whatever they get.
Cynthia, just keep on keepin' on. You know you best, and while solemn advice should be respected, the way some others try to put you and your judgement down is absolutely atrocious. You made an error in judgement by repeating, to Nee & Marlo, Sheree's invitation. That said, you acknowledged the error and tried to move on. Ultimately, it was Sheree who put you (and everyone else) in the predicament in the first place. But, that's neither here nor there.
Regarding your comments about Marlo ... it did seem as though you said one thing when not in NeNe's & Marlo's presence and then another when asked in front of NeNe. I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you were trying to avoid yet another inane argument over trivialities.
Regardless, I hope you learn from this experience and stay true to yourself.
I simply cannot BELIEVE that people actually comment here regarding Cynthia's marriage to Peter. This is not right. I don't care if Peter looked like Boo-Boo the clown and didn't have a dime...that's who CYNTHIA chose to marry. Get YOUR life!
You are a beautiful, smart, gifted woman but for the love of God grow a pair. You need to have more of backbone with Nene and with your husband. Stand up for yourself!
You survived the shark invested world of modeling, you can survive the RHOA. Can you say High School... I'm just saying.
Don't pay attention to the folks telling you a damn thing about Peter, you married to him they not.
Same for our friendship with Nene, it's your friendship, how does it "bother" somebody, that's so silly
How can you afford an anniversary party when you just paid the guy for the wedding? I seriously doubt he wants to work with you guys after he had to pay for YOU!! As usual you're right up Nene's behind on your blog, give it a rest it's getting old!! Don't forget to write that check for Peter so he can bash your sister - nice!
I agree, get out Nene's shadow. It seems the few things you like about Peter is the sex and that he controls you. You want that so you dont have to make decisions. I can see you staying with Peter because you dont want people to be right. I been there. I stayed in a unhappy marriage to prove everyone who doubted us wrong. Key word unhappy. Peter is a LOOF. Chick you need to wise up. Does the good out-way the bad. Yall not a good couple. Yall dont even look good together, nor do yall work well together. I hope you stop fooling yourself in time to catch Mr.right. Dont be afraid of divorce, it happens. its a learning experience. And if you stay in unhappy mariage your daughter will think thats what a women suppose to do.
watching you and your daughter at home when kandi came over to see the talents of your daughter was so serene, she is so well behaved. it is quite the opposite when watching kim and her daughters. they are so out spoken and too much in grown folks business, dysfunction at its best. cynthia i hope your daughter stay sweet.
Cynthia, why are you letting father time bash your sister???? He knows Mal can see right thru him that's why he's always saying nasty things about her. You better listen to her because if you let him drive an unfilling gap between the two of you he will have succeeded. You are always going to need your sister!!!!!!!! So did you write the check to pay for the party?????
Hi cynthia, I had to laugh because you didn't get peter any souveniers from africa. his feelings were hurt big time, but noelle was sweet enough to him that stuffed elephant I thought that was really sweet.
Cynthia words of advice, stop thinking that the smalls are nice to you when Nene is not around. They want you to stop talking to her because they can't handle her. Sheree,Kim,Kandi and Phradra are not really your friend. I agree that Kim would not come on the trip either and what you said and Kandi agreed was not bad, it was just your opinion. Sheree will start with anybody because she is having a bad time in her life now and she is partly the blame. Stay strong.
I just saw the episode from your return from Africa and I have never heard such an ignorant statement as the one Peter said.....A woman cannot raise a man. A man can raise a man.... You my man are such an ignorant person and I beg to differ. My mother was a single mother who raised a daughter and a 1st Batallion Ranger! I'm sure he's more of a man that you will ever BE. Idiot!
Happiness lasts for a lifetime for some, while others a few hours, days or weeks. Whatever makes you happy, go for it. Peter is a great guy with a big heart that sometimes make the wrong choices. Keep sister Mal out of your lives, for your anniversary keep her out of the limo. I love her but I believe she has overstepped her boundaries. Love, love you Cynthia.
honestly? the more i watch Peter, the more i LOVE him! i can totally see why you fell for that Peter-man! i got it so bad for Peter that i get bone as soon as i hear his voice! as to why he fell for you? that's easy. you do your best to be a nice woman.
Cynthia, I know you love your husband but don't forget to love your sister. There is nothing like family and don't allow a man destroy it. I understand how Peter feels but at the same time he doesn't have respect for you or your sister. It is sad the way you are treating your sister; she don't have a problem with you, she has it with your husband!! And if you ask me, she has good reasons! You are better than that, you seem like a sweet and wonderful person; don't allow your husband to change that!! Like you said; he is a dreamer!!

After injured Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords resigned from her CD 8 House seat, several candidates announced. 4 Republicans, one Democrat and one Green are now officially running in the special election to fill this vacancy. The Primary is set for April 17, the general election for June 12, to fill the remainder of the term through December 2012.
Who are scheduled to debate on March 26:
Frank Antenori, current LD 30 State Senator & former LD 30 House Rep., ran for this CD 8 seat in the Republican primary of 2006 (lost to Randy Graf, former LD 30 House Rep.), former Green Beret; www.antenori.com.
Jesse Kelly, ran unsuccessfully against Giffords for this seat in Nov. 2010 after prevailing in a 4-way August primary, project manager for family construction business, former Marine; votejessekelly.com.
Martha McSally, former U.S. Air Force Colonel (first woman pilot to fly in combat), former Professor of National Security Studies at the George C. Marshall Center in Germany, political newcomer; mcsallyforcongress.com.
Dave Sitton, sports broadcaster, Marketing Director UA Cancer Center, political newcomer; davesitton.com.
Attend this debate to hear from the four Republican candidates for Congress in CD 8, one of whom will challenge Democrat Ron Barber (former District Director for Congresswoman Giffords since 2007, who was also shot on 1/8/11 along with Giffords), and Green Party candidate Charlie Manolakis, a community activist, in the June 12 General.
The special election primary for this race is set for Tuesday, April 17, and early voting began on March 22.
These same candidates debated at Sabino HS on March 15 (click here), and note my comments under that blog.

Detective John Ressler is faced with a series of murders that defy logic. The serial killer has an artistic streak; setting his victims in some outlandish poses, painting them, photographing them, dressing them and creating works to enhance their death – and leaving the art at the scene. What is even more bizarre is that some of the crimes appear to be impossible to have set up and executed in the time allotted. When they finally capture the artist, he disappears from the holding cell. Ressler and his partner Holt are stumped.
Mr. Finney then takes us off the grid with some very different concepts and we are transported from the realm of serial killer crime drama to a platform for some lovely science fiction. I was tickled at the way the plot developed, how Mr. Finney led us, piece by piece through the maze. The main characters were nicely crafted, the story was woven very nicely and I had a mostly enjoyable read through this novel. It is a unique story line that made me interested and kept me entertained.
What was disappointing to someone reading for enjoyment was the heavy duty philosophical material that was slipped into the work. While I appreciated that the author was going for a lot of material in his novel, there really was too much sometimes and I found it to be almost tedious to read in some parts. We do not really need to have temporal theory explained for us, nor do we need to understand the psychobabble to substantiate the characters. We can take much on faith, and we do when we read fiction. We can accept the existence of the Enterprise without having to know how warp drive "really" works. Same applies to this book. I found there were parts where I struggled to read thru the material simply because it was superfluous. It could be cut down a bit, leaving more to the imagination of the reader, thereby not having to drag the reader through the story concepts.
I also felt that the giveaway at the end about his partner was misplaced. While I do understand that the author was working towards a second book in the series, that little piece could have been held as an extra surprise for the next work, in my opinion. I feel there is (or should be) more to that story, that the explosion of the information warranted more. I felt cheated with the brief, haphazard giveaway. There is a way to segue from one novel to another in a series without giving away the candy store. I think it could have been done a bit more subtlety, as it was expected but not a given till that point.
What was also rather distracting was the poor Kindle formatting. While the usual self-proofread markings were present but not overly spoiling, the formatting was erratic, margins keep shifting, paragraphs not clearly indicated by formatting, so certain parts seemed to run on and on.
I think Mr. Finney has some great ideas here, some wonderful material that could really benefit from some good editing, proofreading and formatting. I would give this book 3 ½ Stars. I look forward to his next work in this series.

The Orb and Lee "Scratch" Perry: "Hold Me Upsetter"
Fun fact: Oddball reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry's tour manager also manages Lil B. They're musically dissimilar artists, but their freewheeling and cosmic approaches to artistry match up in a way that the manager thing doesn't feel at all coincidental. The same can be said of Perry and UK dance vets The Orb, who teamed up with him on a new album called The Orbserver in the Star House out on August 28 through the End Records.

News in Brief: SonarSound Tokyo, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Baby Dee, the Soundtrack of Our Lives
By Tom Breihan on March 16, 2011 at 08:00 a.m.
-- In a statement on their website, the organizers of the SonarSound Toyko festival announce that they hope the fest, scheduled for April 2-3, will proceed as planned, but that the devastating earthquake and tsunami that recently hit Japan have thrown the festival into some doubt: "We have been in permanent contact with our Japanese partners and friends to ascertain the true extent of the situation as it has developed." The festival's lineup includes Battles, Flying Lotus, Modeselektor, Kode9, Seefeel, Hudson Mohawke, DJ Krush, and others.
-- The Upsetter is a new documentary about reggae production innovator and legendary weirdo Lee "Scratch" Perry. Co-director Adam Bhala-Lough previously directed the great Lil Wayne doc The Carter, and Benicio Del Toro narrates. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will premiere March 25 at L.A.'s Downtown Independent, and you can watch the trailer here.
-- Pianist singer-songwriter Baby Dee will release her new album Regifted Light March 22 on Drag City. Andrew W.K. produced the record.
-- On March 22, Swedish psych-rockers Soundtrack of Our Lives will release the greatest-hits collection Golden Greats No. 1, via Little W Productions. Right now, you can visit the band's website and enter your email address into a widget to download their new single "Karmageddon". -

The Most Bizarre Grammy Rumor You'll Hear All Week
By Ryan Dombal on January 28, 2009 at 06:15 p.m.
Hang with us for a second: TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek turns up in a recent "day in the life" YouTube video featuring up-and-coming D.C. rapper Wale. The two are working together, and that's cool (read more about the collaboration here). But Sitek also makes a passing remark that caught our attention: After bitching about TVOTR's Grammy snub, he quips, "Lee 'Scratch' Perry wants me and Kyp [Malone] to play in his band at the Grammys. I was like, [sarcastically] 'Oh yeah! OK!'"
Did Perry high-dial Sitek by mistake? Even though Sitek seems to be making fun of the call in this video, is there any truth to this insane Lee Perry Grammy performance possibility?
Well, maybe. But it gets even stranger. Along with Sitek and Malone, a source tells us Perry is trying to snag Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale, some of the guys from Vampire Weekend and Andrew W.K. to back him at this year's Grammys. Perry is in fact nominated for Best Reggae Album for Repentance, which was produced by Andrew W.K. and features Chippendale . Plus, based on this Pitchfork.tv in the studio piece, we know Perry and W.K. are buddies.
Vampire Weekend's publicist says the band isn't involved, and the Grammy people say they have no idea what we're talking about. But still, this rumor tells us one of two things: this will the zaniest Grammys of the modern era, or Lee Perry just purchased a new zero gravity bong.

THE X-PERT CORNER – Poll: What should Rico write about in his next article?
Capture One Beta
Take a look at all the Capture One Beta vs Lightroom comparison pics here on flickr (Photo By 夏天).
There is another "new product" in the Beta version. It's AccuRaw Beta. Just take a look at chromasoft's post here.
The Trinity Comparison (part 3): the EVF comparison
Alexander of fujifilm-x-opinions.net posted his third part of the Trinity Comparison (X-PRO1 vs X-E1 vs X-100). It's an important part, where he compares the EVF. Just click here and read it. Remember, he will sell the "looser" of this comparison. Which camera would you sell? And which one will be the winner?
"All in all, I'm impressed. I'm pretty sure I'll get used to the quirks and come to really love this camera. It has only been two days, and like I said, I haven't used strobes with it or really shot much in the way of people yet. I'm sure the sync speed slowness with frustrate me, once I do. It will be interesting to see how much, if any, this can replace my D700 for that sort of work. That isn't why I got it, but it is the cherry on top if it works out." This are some thoughts from the first impressions of rodneyboles.com (click here)
Brandon Remler posted some shot taken with the X-F1 (needle) and with the X-E1 14mm and 18-55mm (pigeons). Click here to see them.
We all share the same passion: photography! It's this passion that brought David to start his blog composinghands.com and write about his experience with the X-E1. So click here an take a look at his site (first time with X-E1) and his clear PROS and CONS post here.

This comparison and the images on Flickr really demonstrates how poor adobe raw conversion is. Thanks to capture one software the x trans sensors full potential should be realised.
Would love to see a c1 image against an ooc jpeg…

Ry Rivard, Inside Higher Ed, December 9, 2013
I know that the plural of anecdote is not data, but at some point the sheer number of anecdotes, in comparison to the population size, has to compel some reflection. This article contains 19 anecdotes about small private colleges in trouble. Maybe it's coincidence? Or maybe it's a declining student population base, increasing competitiveness, and the growing popularity of (online) alternatives.
Robinson Meyer, The Atlantic, December 9, 2013
I wonder what would happen if I started writing these blurbs in the Upworthy style. Like this: "Upworthy articles are catching your attention every day. But the reason they're doing it will make you wonder." Here's the formula: "They make an emotional promise. They usually have two phrases. They paint their political proposition as obvious, as beyond debate." So that's the first part of the article - but do take time to read the longer part describing how small changes to Facebook's algorithm make big differences in web traffic. The battle for readers' eyes goes deeper than you think. (See? I upworthied you again.) (Yes, I declare that 'upworthied' is now a word).

Catching up on my phoitos, for those of you who are interested: I have small sets from short visits to Dallas and Fort Worth (stockyards), as well as a set from Geneva, and Doha (Qatar). I also have more photos to post from Lyon, so I'll like ton that set later this week.
Jay P. Greene, Education Next, December 9, 2013
One thing that travel has brought home to me in a forceful way is that I'm very privileged to be able to meet with people (and in particular educators and technologists) face-to-face on a regular basis. The person who suggests (as in this post) that "an antidote to this corrosive effect of Twitter [is] meeting people in person" simply doesn't get this. Some of the most memorable people I've met have been from Yukon and Alaska, Colombia, New Zealand, Souyth Africa, Uruguay... it's not that they can never travel, but for the most part the opportunities are limited by distance and funding. The same applies in education. The people who say we should simply "meet face-to-face" don't get that most people don't live near the campus of a major U.S. university (or even a minor Canadian one). I too would have "a gathering a couple times a year of policy analysts, scholars, entrepreneurs, and practitioners." But like 99 percent of people out there, I don't have the means to do this.
Tressie McPhd, tressiemc, December 9, 2013
I really liked this article when I frist saw it and I still like it six weeks later. It's about this: rich people often criticize poor people for making extravagent purchases, like an expensive purse. But what poor people understand is that such purchases are often the price of admission to a better life. I've commented in the past that venture capitalists don't fund ideas, they fund people. This is another version of the same idea. "Gatekeeping is a complex job of managing boundaries that do not just define others but that also define ourselves. Status symbols — silk shells, designer shoes, luxury handbags — become keys to unlock these gates." See also some commentary from Joanne Jacobs and an expansion on the same idea from Melonie Fullick. Jacobs isn't very sympathetic, of course - if acquiring status symboles (like a purse or a PhD) only 'feels like' corecion, people can always walk away. In just that way, we can say that they have chosen to be poor. But we know that to be a lie.
Matt Crosslin, EduGeek Journal, December 9, 2013
Another reaction to the MRI conference (no reason for me to stop running articles on this anytime soon). "There were two things I noticed at the conference. One is that some of my biggest problems with xMOOCs in the past has been the sense that the people pushing them are focusing too much on the M and C and not understanding the O's at all." P.S. I've always known the difference between cMOOCs and xMOOCs - I was the one who coined the terms. So I don't get the remark that "I'm also glad he is finally realizing that xMOOCs are different than his vision of MOOCs." Plus: Joanne Jacobs discovers Bonnie Stewart.
Jeffrey Beall, Triple-C, December 9, 2013
I found this article to be pretty funny, though I suspect it's a serious attempt to discredit the open access movement. "The OA movement is an anti-corporatist movement that wants to deny the freedom of the press to companies it disagrees with. The movement is also actively imposing onerous mandates on researchers, mandates that restrict individual freedom. To boost the open-access movement, its leaders sacrifice the academic futures of young scholars and those from developing countries, pressuring them to publish in lower-quality open-access journals." Enjoy.
Jack Wallen, Tech Republic, December 9, 2013
I kno most readers no longer use Firefox, but the value of this article for me is not so much a lict of (recommended) extensions you can add to Firefox to enhance security, but rather the overall shape of future browsing it points to. Or should point to - it is worth noting that a browser produced by an advertising company (ahem Chrome) is probably not going to have a lot of security built in. Otherwise, though, the sort of features described here - limits on scripts, blocking advertising, secure passwords, encryption everywhere, tracking disabled - are the sports of features people would prefer to have, had they a choice.

About Stephen Downes
Stephen Downes is a senior researcher for Canada's National Research Council and a leading proponent of the use of online media and services in education. As the author of the widely-read OLDaily online newsletter, Downes has earned international recognition for his leading-edge work in the field of online learning. He developed some of Canada's first online courses at Assiniboine Community College in Brandon, Manitoba. He also built a learning management system from scratch and authored the now-classic "The Future of Online Learning".
At the University of Alberta he built a learning and research portal for the municipal sector in that province, Munimall, and another for the Engineering and Geology sector, PEGGAsus. He also pioneered the development of learning objects and was one of the first adopters and developers of RSS content syndication in education. Downes introduced the concept of e-learning 2.0 and with George Siemens developed and defined the concept of Connectivism, using the social network approach to deliver open online courses to three thousand participants over two years.
Downes has been offering courses in learning, logic, philosophy both online and off since 1987, has 135 articles published in books, magazines and academic journals, and has presented his unique perspective on learning and technology more than 250 times to audiences in 17 countries on five continents. He is a habitual photographer, plays darts for money, and can be found at home with his wife Andrea and four cats in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
Stephen Downes travaille pour le Conseil national de recherches du Canada, où il a servi en tant que chercheur principal, basé à Moncton, au Nouveau-Brunswick, depuis 2001. Affilié au Groupe des technologies de l'apprentissage et de la collaboration, Institut de technologie de l'information, Downes est spécialisé dans les domaines de l'apprentissage en ligne, les nouveaux médias, la pédagogie et la philosophie.
Downes est peut-être mieux connu pour son bulletin quotidien, OLDaily, qui est distribué par Internet, courriel et RSS à des milliers d'abonnés à travers le monde. Il a publié de nombreux articles à la fois en ligne et sur papier incluant The Future of Online Learning (1998), Learning Objects (2000), Resource Profiles (2003), et E-Learning 2.0 (2005). Il est un conférencier populaire, apparaissant à des centaines de manifestations à travers le monde au cours des quinze dernières années.
Vision Statement
I want and visualize and aspire toward a system of society and learning where each person is able to rise to his or her fullest potential without social or financial encumberance, where they may express themselves fully and without reservation through art, writing, athletics, invention, or even through their avocations or lifestyle.
Where they are able to form networks of meaningful and rewarding relationships with their peers, with people who share the same interests or hobbies, the same political or religious affiliations - or different interests or affiliations, as the case may be.
This to me is a society where knowledge and learning are public goods, freely created and shared, not hoarded or withheld in order to extract wealth or influence. This is what I aspire toward, this is what I work toward.

Great skin, very clean and simple, I like it much, but Picture section is useless at the moment - only list of files and landscape thumbinals with wrong scalling. It could be a square with scalling to fill the box. I'll try it on ATV it should works fast. It need to be polished of course but it is very promising. Good work guys.

Love the Skin but you should not limit yourself to just copying boxee skin but improve on it. One of the worst things about Boxee is the lack of customization so would love it if the skin had more skin setting to change the highlight color to light blue and edit the home screen items. Could you please remove the blue tint on Fan art it would look better dimmed or darkened or better yet have it as a option.
Could you add this episode view Thanks for all the effort really appreciate the work you guys put in.

Love the skin! I'm a long time boxee user who finally made the switch. A question and an issue...
- Is there a way to get the RSS video feeds back? - Anyone else using the Pandora script successfully? While it works fine with newbra's original skin, I'm not seeing any text with Sranshaft's later version (including channel and artist information). I'm guessing there's a screen/global font issue similar to what was addressed early on with Navi-x. Thanks! |

I'm glad to report I was able to fix the Pandora problem - as per one of the previous suggestions, you just have to include a few of the additional fonts detailed in newbra's original font.xml and the script works as intended.
I've been looking at the XML trying to determine how I can get the RSS videos feeds back into the home screen but I'm definitely a bit lost. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Complete Media Centre newbie here! Just installed XBMC today and this is by far the very best skin my 4 hours of googling has given me, I have but one question though.
Nothing ever previews in Music, and when I go into Music I am presented with nothing. I have to go into the sidebar menu when in music and browse files to get music to play. Yet, when I change Skin to default for example, the Music is accessible under the menu fine. From what I can father Music is defaulting to Library Mode instead of File Mode - Can someone help me fix this? |

Comments about Tee-Zed Products Dreambaby 10.5" Madison Extension - Black:
It's good and solid, attractive, and functional. You have to learn how to LIFT the gate to open it, but once you get it, it's really easy. we get lots of compliments on these gates - we have 3 plus extensions. Read the directions though - never put more than 2 extensions on any one side of the gate. It makes it unstable. That is the only downfall - not great for large spans.

All things chocolate at Featherstone festival
VIdeo by Steve Myrick
The Art of Chocolate Festival at Featherstone has morphed into something really spectacular. In addition to the inevitable chocolate treats at the 10th annual festival, attendees took it to the next level, from dressing up in chocolate brown outfits, making chocolate-inspired art, and telling chocolate stories.
"Susan Klein was amazing," said Featherstone director Ann Smith of the stories told by Ms. Klein at Friday night's preview party. "People were laughing the whole time. The talk of Friday evening was how spectacular she [Klein] was."
Another hit of the weekend-long event was Nancy Blank's (inedible) chocolate cake sculpture and her chocolate cream pie sculpture, which both sold. And Gwyn McAllister's edible chocolate sushi. "It was unbelievably outrageous. The guests loved it," Ms. Smith said. "She used coconut for the rice, apricot for salmon, kiwi for cucumber. And for the wasabi, she made green cake frosting. It's magnificent."
Another stand-out contribution was Jan Buhrman's chocolate pepper cookies. "I thought that those were really different," Ms. Smith continued. "For the stand-out chocolate offering this year, the cookies took the cake."

I am officially a "legal alien allowed to work" in the USA (I have a F-1 student visa). I know I cannot work anywhere else, but the university I attend (and no more than 20h a week).
I would like to open my own company in the USA and sell software. Am I allowed to do so? Can I change the type of my visa? What is the procedure? Where can I find information on opening a company by a foreigner?
Every answer will be appreciated.

Product Information
The Spuhr ISMS (Ideal Scope Mounting System) is machined from one-piece solid billet, in 7075 T651 Aluminum with no joints or that can over time become a weakness in a mount. The unique lightweight design of the Spuhr mount provides a rock solid Picatinny-style mounting platform that lends itself to easy accessory mounting and clear visibility of the turrets with minimal movement. The lengthy list of features that Spuhr has packed into one mount makes it the truly Ideal Scope Mounting System.
- 10-degree leveling wedge
- 4 numbered and indexed mounting torx heads
- Built in level
- Accessory interface
-This simple tool fits in a 10-degree slot on the mount while mounting the scope and works against the bottom of the scope to ensure a perfectly level scope.
-Even the slightest variance in how the mount is attached to a weapon can alter the point of impact. To resolve this, the ISMS has numbered screw holes so you can attach the mount the same way each time. The amount of torque applied to the mount can also cause unwanted variance so Spuhr has placed index marks on the screw head so you can put the exact same amount of torque on your mount no matter how often you remove the mount.
-With a quick glance from your left eye you can get an instant check of your level without leaving your shooting position. The built in level is always protected in the rear of the mount and is not a risk of shifting or being broken off on the move.
-Every mount consist of 7-8 mounting interfaces where you can attach nearly anything. The interface consists of two threaded M4 holes that are depressed in a conical hole to perfectly fit the individual attachment interfaces (sold separately) with absolutely no play in the joint.

Hey man when it comes to grey hairs the best thing you can do is get some rogaine. It really helps a lot and it will reduce the amount of grey hairs you receive.
A product like toco-sorb will help with hair growth but as for grey hairs either be George Clooney or color it.
I have people swear by the herb Fo-Ti for grey hairs. They claim it actually reduces greys. Might be worth trying out. You can get a bottle of it for like $7 or $8.
Your best bet would be anti-oxidants to slow the grey, but I don't think the grey you have is going anywhere.
You could try PC-KUS (a modified pseudocatalase).
GliSODin is supposed to help as well, but it's super pricey.
Personally, I use a razor...much cheaper.
I started taking that reversatrol, collagen and hydrualonic acid. First month on it, but so far my $ 90.00 per month touch ups feom my super high end hair dude for the stars seems to look natural.

The Carrier Killer?
Returning from a business trip to Texas last week, I found several queries in my in-box (firstname.lastname@example.com) regarding China's new Dong Feng 21D missile. Unveiled at a military parade last year, the DF-21 is widely-touted as a "carrier killer," able to accurately target a U.S. aircraft carrier at long distances (up to 900 miles) and send it to the bottom, using a conventional warhead.
Defense writers for the Associated Press, citing various "experts" have already described the DF-21D as a "game changer," potentially shifting the naval balance of power in the Pacific. Judging from their coverage, the U.S. would be well advised to move our carriers back to the West Coast, and keep them in port:
ABOARD THE USS GEORGE WASHINGTON – Nothing projects U.S. global air and sea power more vividly than supercarriers. Bristling with fighter jets that can reach deep into even landlocked trouble zones, America's virtually invincible carrier fleet has long enforced its dominance of the high seas.
China may soon put an end to that.
U.S. naval planners are scrambling to deal with what analysts say is a game-changing weapon being developed by China — an unprecedented carrier-killing missile called the Dong Feng 21D that could be launched from land with enough accuracy to penetrate the defenses of even the most advanced moving aircraft carrier at a distance of more than 1,500 kilometers (900 miles).
The weapon, a version of which was displayed last year in a Chinese military parade, could revolutionize China's role in the Pacific balance of power, seriously weakening Washington's ability to intervene in any potential conflict over Taiwan or North Korea. It could also deny U.S. ships safe access to international waters near China's 11,200-mile (18,000-kilometer) -long coastline.
While a nuclear bomb could theoretically sink a carrier, assuming its user was willing to raise the stakes to atomic levels, the conventionally-armed Dong Feng 21D's uniqueness is in its ability to hit a powerfully defended moving target with pin-point precision.
To be sure, Beijing's long-range strike capabilities have improved dramatically over the past 20 years, thanks to double-digit annual growth in the Chinese defense budget and related research and development activities. And, any weapon with the potential to hit a moving carrier at long range will get the attention of Navy planners, for obvious reasons.
But a little context is in order.
First, as the AP mentions (briefly) in the article, there is the nagging issue of demonstrated accuracy. The DF-21D is still in testing, and so far, it has not proved its ability to strike a carrier-sized target over the horizon. True, the problem could be solved by placing a nuclear warhead on the missile, but that "solution" would invite a massive U.S. response, one reason that China emphasizes the conventional capabilities of the DF-21D.
It's also worth remembering the first rule of precision strike: devastatingly accurate weapons require intelligence of comparable precision. Beijing is working hard to improve its intel, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, but (once again) there is inconclusive evidence regarding the PRC's ability to develop--and deliver--such information for a time-sensitive target like an aircraft carrier at sea.
Carrier battle groups are often depicted as a fat, vulnerable target. But in reality, the Navy does a good job in suppressing the signature and locations of its carriers in the open ocean. And, some of the platforms China would use to track U.S. carriers, including jet bombers and attack submarines, are vulnerable to our counter-measures, ranging from our own subs (which are superior to Beijing's current boats) and F/A-18 Super Hornets, which can intercept intruders up to 400 NM from the carrier.
Additionally, our ship-borne missile defenses have improved dramatically in recent years, with development of the SM-3 missile as part of the Aegis weapons system. The SM-3 has become our most reliable missile interceptor, successfully engaging 16 of 19 test targets since 2002. In early 2008, a modified SM-3 successfully downed a decaying U.S. satellite, re-entering the earth's atmosphere at a speed of 22,000 mph.
While care must be taken in drawing parallels between the satellite intercept and missile defense, the velocity factor is stunning. By most estimates, DF-21D re-entry vehicles would plunge towards the carrier at slower speeds, so it is well within the technical capabilities of the Aegis/SM-3 to handle those targets.
Still, the Chinese missile will pose problems. Coupled with other anti-carrier weapons (including submarines and anti-ship cruise missiles), the DF-21D will force changes in our tactics, including operating locations that are more distant from hostile shores. That, in turn, will impact the carrier's flight operations, reducing the ability of the F/A-18s to hit long-range targets, and placing more demands on in-flight refueling assets.
As one naval officer observed, the Dong Feng 21D would be an excellent harassment weapon, particularly at the end of an operations cycle when the carrier is recovering aircraft. Imagine having 12-18 aircraft, low on fuel, trying to land on the carrier when a barrage of Chinese missiles is detected. Suddenly, the carrier is forced to maneuver, shut down much of its electronics, and assume a more defensive posture. In that scenario, "getting back on the boat" becomes much more difficult.
But the DF-21D does not spell the end of the carrier era. Our favorite Navy blogger, Commander Salamander, framed the debate well with a brief history of other "game-changing" naval weapons over the last 150 years:
--130 years ago it was the torpedo boat. It did not mean the end of large surface ships.
--105 years ago it was the Dreadnought. It did not mean the end of anything but large surface ships with and all gun battery.
--90 years ago it was the aircraft. It did not mean the end of large surface ships.
--70-80 years ago it was the dive bomber. It did not mean the end of surface ships or aircraft carriers.
--60 years ago it was the nuclear weapon. If did not mean the end of surface ships or aircraft carriers.
--40 years ago it was the anti-ship cruise missile. It did not mean the end of surface ships or aircraft carriers....
--And so today we are talking about Anti-ship cruise missiles.There is an evolution and survival of the fittest in warfare. It is only a problem if ignored. It is only a reason to panic if you lack a historical perspective and a lack of confidence in your military to effectively meet a new threat ... at threat that is yet to be fully formed.
One more thought: if the DF-21D represents the end of the carrier as an effective weapons system, why is Beijing working so hard on its own aircraft carriers? By some estimates, China will have as many as two carriers operational by the middle of the decade, equipped with SU-33 Flanker jets. The Chinese are making a pretty sizable investment in a weapons system that is supposedly past its prime.

UCLA almost blew it. Almost gave Washington State its first conference win, almost lost a shot at the Pac-12 title game.
But was it really all bad?
"Sometimes they're ugly," Bruins coach Jim Mora said. "As long as you win and you take the mindset going forward that you're going to learn from it, sometimes these can be good for you."
Trying to spin the No. 17 Bruins' ugliest win of the season - a 44-36 road clunker - seems a stretch.
For all but the second quarter, UCLA (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12) was outplayed, needing two blocked field goals and a blocked punt to build a 30-point lead that it almost gave away.
Washington State put up 524 yards of total offense, a season-high, to the Bruins' 334 - outgaining an opponent for just the third team all season.
But with USC (7-3, 5-3) coming up at noon Saturday, at least the team no longer needs to field questions about "trap games" and "looking ahead."
Instead, the queries now turn to this: How on earth do you treat the biggest rivalry game in years - winner-takes-all for the Pac-12 South - as just another week?
"You try to," Mora said Sunday. "I think that it's obviously a little bit different just given that these two universities sit so close together. This is a game that has a lot of ramifications … We'll do all we can to try and keep this week as normal as possible."
A few minutes later, he admitted he had never seen another rivalry - whether collegiate or professional - quite like the one in Los Angeles.
Penalties, penalties
With 12 flags for a loss of 126 yards, UCLA took over the country's top spot in penalties per game. Who did the Bruins bump out for the ignominious claim? None other than USC, now averaging just 9.0 to the Bruins' 9.2 per outing. UCLA has also lost more yards on penalties than any other FBS team, giving away 899 through 10 games.
"Penalties hurt a lot," said quarterback Brett Hundley. "We will get those fixed."
Know your enemy
A few weeks ago, Mora called USC receiver Marqise Lee a sure-shot NFL draft pick, adding the electrifying playmaker could start in the league right now. Lee has only grabbed more of the national spotlight since, stirring up headlines with 1,104 all-purpose yards in his past three games.
The Trojans' three losses will likely keep him from serious Heisman Trophy contention, but that hasn't stopped the school from pushing the agenda.
The former face of that campaign used to be quarterback Matt Barkley. Widely thought to be a lock for the top overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft before the season started, he hasn't quite lived up to his lofty billing. His 13 interceptions are the most he's thrown since tossing 14 as a freshman.
Still, Mora didn't hesitate before heaping some praise on Barkley as well.
"He's been very well-coached," Mora said. "He's a very smart player. I've always thought that the elements that make a quarterback great are decision-making ability, accuracy, mobility, arm strength, leadership, those things.
"I think he's got all of those … He's seen just about everything there is to see at this level."
