Developments of recent weeks--talk about shock and awe--are regrettably reminiscent of 9/11. "Who would have thought?" we hear over and over.
Mighty sequoias of finance such as AIG, Bear Stearns, Lehmann Brothers became overwhelmed by the fear and trembling of markets seized by forces not unloosed since the 1930s. Credit has been freezing up virtually worldwide, and as we go to press finance ministers are set to pow-wow this weekend in Washington, D.C. under the auspices of the IMF to counsel with each other about further actions.
So far the onset of the 21st Century has been a shocking wake up call. Yet in the midst of sound bites and blogging chatter, as well as the in-depth analyses of newspaper and magazine print, one can discern glimmers of a new economy.
Mayors of large metro markets recently released news about 2 million new green jobs becoming available over the next decade. Earlier they had called attention to the need for massive construction projects needed to renovate the nation's worn-out infrastructure. Much of the new construction will be green by public edict. In recent years, American state and local governments have been more responsive to the threats of global warming than the federal government.
Our lead November stories set out the agenda. The automotive industry, a vital national interest, stands at a crossroad. Curb carbon-based pollution we must, as well as develop fuel-efficient transportation solutions. August vehicle sales of 1.25 million nationwide were down for the 10th consecutive month. Dealers across the country wrack their brains reaching out for solutions to market conditions. Says Cuban-born Jeronimo Esteve, owner of Headquarter Toyota in Hialeah, Florida: "There are people out there buying cars . . .We just have to find them." And, he adds: "We don't have time for anything negative."
Staying positive in down times is fundamental. And that's the thinking at Frank Venegas' The Ideal Group, corporate umbrella for six companies, including everything from facilities management, construction, and engineering, to storage, warehousing and spare parts inventory management, based in Detroit. Mr. Venegas picked up his company's sixth consecutive GM Supplier of the Year Award this past April.
Ideal's "Share-the-Spare" management system offers centralized storage and distribution of manufacturing machine parts for GM's stamping operations as well as its body and general assembly plants. It's what produced Ideal's latest award from GM. Housed in a single building, "Share-the-Spare" lowers inventory requirements yet provides greater access to parts as needed. Mr. Venegas comments on his product: "GM fosters these sorts of win/win entrepreneurial relationships."
So in the midst of periods of intensive change it is still possible to win.
At HispanicBusiness' Entrepreneur of the Year (EoY) Symposium convening in Los Angeles November 6th at the Millenium Biltmore downtown, the topic of conversation will be New Directions for Green, Social and Urban entrepreneurs. We clearly have to keep that conversation going into 2009.

Editor's note: We will publish an updated version of our review of public university honors programs later this year. It will feature a star rating system rather than numerical rankings, and it will be based on much better data and research. Stay tuned!
Public University Press published A Review of Fifty Public University Honors Programs on April 18, 2012. The Press is a new–and small–organization, and grew out of a project to write only a series of articles that compared published rankings and summarized their findings. Yet we soon discovered that even though the scholarly literature about honors education is growing, the programs themselves had not been evaluated, except in some cases by in-house staff and faculty or by visiting reviewers from other schools. So, instead of reporting on what others had found, we realized that we had to find "it" ourselves.
Or, we should say, try to find it. Among other things that we have stepped into during the project, one big thing is skepticism that anyone, much less someone outside of academe, could begin to compare honors programs in a meaningful way, given their many unique features. That skepticism is understandable, and this first attempt is tentative–though it is the result of many months of total focus on just these fifty programs. We do not claim that the second edition will be definitive, but it will be based on much better data than our first effort. Of the 50 programs under review, 44, or 86 percent, have returned our data questionnaire and/or provided the data we need upon request. For the remaining 6 programs, we have made an extra effort to research and analyze class sizes, the range of offerings across departments, the number of seminars, and many other elements that go into our reviews. One important category of the upcoming review is that it, like the first edition, will show whether an honors program or college is relatively stronger or weaker than the university as a whole, except for a few "public elites" whose honors and university-wide rankings often vary insufficiently for this measure. (On the Methodology page of this site we provide a description of the data. We urge you to read the page.) It is true that we have no track record, no big magazine name, no outside funding. It is also true that we are totally independent.
The editor of Public University Press is John Willingham, who is also the editor of publicuniversityhonors.com. For the second edition, John is working again with editorial assistants and the same Ph.D. statistician who was involved with the first edition of the Review. In the summer of 2012, John completed a training session offered by the National Collegiate Honors Council on how to conduct external evaluations of honors colleges and programs. A full-time writer and editor, John is a former contributor to the History News Network (hnn.us) and is the author of a historical novel on the Texas Revolution. Much of his work for HNN focused on education issues in Texas, especially the curriculum wars that occurred in 2010-2011 over the adoption of the state's history and social studies curricula. Another essay for HNN explored the relationship of historical fiction and the teaching of history, especially in the university.
His own novel, The Edge of Freedom, A Fact-Based Novel of the Texas Revolution, has been used as a reading supplement in college. Previously, John's fiction appeared in the Southwest Review, the literary quarterly of Southern Methodist University Press.
John became interested in the history of education, especially higher education, when he was a graduate student in American history at the University of Texas at Austin, earning an M.A. before deciding to pursue a career in journalism and public administration in Texas. The Academic Revolution, by Christopher Jencks and David Riesman, was the book that triggered John's interest in higher education. Earlier, John had received a B.A. from UT Austin, with honors, majoring in history. His minor fields in graduate school were the history of education and journalism. He now spends most of the year in Portland, Oregon.

Love your iPad, It Would Love You Too!
I love travelling and taking photos of those different places where I had been. This hobby of mine has become more easy and prominent after I bought my iPad, as it has been quite easy for me to take photographs of the different places that I visit and then it's even easier to upload them to my favourite social network. I had been using my iPad since last two years now, without as such problem. However, recently I have found that there are certain problems which cannot be overseen as we keep on using the device. Hence, it has become necessary that I take proper care of the iPad and sometimes take it to repair centre so that a normal check-up can be done.
Why is it necessary to check iPad after regular interval?
Everything gets depreciated due to regular wear and tear, and same is the story with iPad too. When I purchased it had been the best device that Apple has launched in the market. However, after using it for some time, I found that just like everything else, it too needed total care, especially when I travel extensively with this delicate piece. Getting it checked at regular interval, kept mu iPad at good working condition and I loved the way it performed.
What are the different things where problem may arise?
Any device is just like our human body. A problem may arise at any part of the device, just like it may happen to ant part of our body. My friends said that they have faced problems related to
• iPad Screen Repair
• Battery of the iPad
• Head phone socket
• Charging port socket
• Volume button of the iPad
• Power button of the iPad
And so on. Problem in any part mentioned above would not let your iPad work properly and you simply cannot be happy with your device.
How to choose the best repair centre for my iPad?
After I came to know from my friends about the various issues which may crop up any time with my iPad, I decided to find out a service centre for my iPad so that I can contact them at any emergency for repairing my iPad. Things which I checked before shortlisting the company are
• They should have good engineers to repair my iPad
• Must provide original parts, if I needed to change any part from my iPad
• Should provide all sort of services under the same roof.

The World of Kushiel's Chosen
by Jacqueline Carey
In Terre d'Ange, sunlight filters through the olive groves, grapes ripen on the vine and lavender blooms in fragrant clouds. It is here that Elua and his Companions made their home, for where else did the people welcome the wandering deity in song, opening their arms to greet him as he crossed the fields? Nowhere. Nowhere else. And so it came to pass that Blessed Elua dwelt here for a time, and gave unto his people one commandment.
Love as thou wilt.
Thus was a nation begotten; luxuriant, sophisticated, proud, passionate, decadent. The D'Angeline people, in whose mortal veins runs the blood of fallen angels, are all these things. Love takes many forms, and in Terre d'Ange, all is permitted.
And yet, even here, Phèdre ns Delaunay is a rarityan anguissette, "Kushiel's Chosen," marked by a scarlet mote in her left eye. Among Elua's Companions, it is Kushiel who administers the cruel mercy of justice, and it is Phèdre's dubious gift to find pleasure in the depths of pain.
As a writer, I adore her. It would be difficult to conceive of
a more unlikely heroine for an epic fantasy, or a greater creative challenge. But that's part of the joy romance and fantasy alike represent: triumph over impossible odds. When it works, it's glorious.
In Kushiel's Dart, Phèdre is betrayed and sold into indentured servitude then trained as a courtesan and spy, which leads her
to possess a secret that will destroy Terre d'Ange unless she can prevent it. She has only one ally; Joscelin Verreuil, the acerbic warrior-priest assigned to protect her. Deadly with a sword and beautiful
to behold, he is also a Cassiline Brother who has sworn a vow of celibacy and despises everything Phèdre stands for.
Of course, that changes by the end. In this series, I wanted to explore the idea of love as a divine force, capable of acting upon
the world and all who dwell within it. While a strain of dark sensuality permeates the books, it's love born of courage, loyalty and
self-sacrifice that emerges transcendent
...only to face new perils in KUSHIEL'S CHOSEN (released this month), when Phèdre accepts a challenge from the Machiavellian villainess Melisande Shahrizai to find a traitor at the heart of the realm. But the stakes are higher than she knows, and what begins as a sophisticated game of intrigue turns into a desperate race to unmask a fatal conspiracy.
La Serenissma, Hellas, Illyriathe realms through which Phèdre's adventure unwindsare as familiar as places from a dream, half-remembered upon waking. The Kushiel trilogy is an alternate history in the broadest sense of the term, reworking the canvas of the past with sweeping strokes to blend what-might-have-been with what-never-was. Each is a stand-alone novel, written within an overall story arc to be concluded in a forthcoming third volume, Kushiel's Avatar. They contain all the elements of epic fantasy that I love: intrigue, high adventure, swordplay, sweeping battles and feats of impossible valor. There are strange gods, exotic lands and religious mysteries.
Indeed, what magic is present derives from a simple premise: that the mythos that governs Terre d'Ange is true in a literal sense. When the will of its gods is made manifest, those mortals whom they have chosen must answer to it. Courtesan or no, Phèdre's destiny is written in the scarlet mote in her eye, and as she is "Kushiel's Chosen," she is the instrument of his justice. And the warrior-priest Joscelin, sworn to the service of Elua's Companion, Cassiel, is destined to be her consort and protector, even at the cost of his own vows.
Throughout it allintrigue, high adventure, sublime pleasurelove's greatest obstacles are those that come from within. These are rich books, densely plotted, with cunning gambits that take the length of the novel to play out. Yet at the core, it's the human element that drives the story as Phèdre and Joscelin struggle to make sense of their relationship, the conflicting desires that push them apart, and the undeniable passion that draws them together.
All of this, while the fate of a realm hangs in the balance.
It's not easy being a god's chosenglorious destinies carry a price. But in the end, the redemptive power of love pays for all.

Book Review
Genre: Erotic Romance, Paranormal
2007 Paranormal/Fantasy/Sci-Fi Erotic Romance Nominee
Williamson has done an excellent job creating her characters and developing her story, which is ultimately about finding a home and love. The action begins immediately and never stops, in part because Kane and Timber are strong protagonists who take control of the story from the start. There are plenty of sexual elements, but they're not used as filler; they're essential to the romance between the main characters.
Timber's life has never been normal or happy. Having lived in a series of foster homes, she finally learns she has family and moves to Wolverton, Mo. A shape-shifter who turns into a wolf, Timber discovers her family doesn't want her either.
Then she meets Kane. He's the leader of the pack and he wants her, but he doesn't like the way having her around upsets his life. Can they find a balance they can both enjoy while staying

Many criticize the Little League Dad for caring too much. But that's not the issue. His problem is he's a massive dickhead--a condition exasperated by watching pre-pubescent boys play baseball. Unwilling to accept losing or the fact that 42-year-old men aren't eligible to play on a Little League team, this maniac takes what is supposed to be a fun summer day spent outdoors and turns it into something vile and traumatic—kind of like those handsy mascots who grope kids at amusement parks.

Derbyshire are set for a return to Barbados as Karl Krikken's men follow the same pre-season formula that worked so affectively ahead of the recent title-winning campaign.
The squad will make for the Caribbean on Monday, 11th March to return on Saturday, 23rd March after an intense period of warm weather preparation for the new season.
The trip marks the fourth consecutive year that Derbyshire have toured Barbados following successful tours in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
A combination of English and local opposition are set to take part in the schedule which will see Derbyshire contest a brace of two-day fixtures, a 40 over match and the showpiece Twenty20 tournament at the Kensington Oval.
During the celebrations which followed the confirmation of Derbyshire's promotion to Division One of the LV= County Championship, chairman Chris Grant made one thing clear.
While they would support head coach Karl Krikken in strengthening their squad, neither he nor 'Krik' had any intention of tearing up the blueprint which had brought them success by blowing the playing budget on a couple of marquee signings.
So far the Club has been as good as their word. In the last couple of weeks the young players who contributed hugely towards the winning of the Division Two title, including Dan Redfern, Tom Poynton, Wes Durston, Ross Whiteley and Jon Clare, have been rewarded with new and improved contracts.
Peter Burgoyne (pictured) and Ben Slater have been piling on the runs in their maiden first-class appearances for the Southern Rocks in Zimbabwe.
Both have been plying their trade in the Zimbabwean domestic competition since the start of October, and the flashes of brilliance both showed during the limited-overs fixtures have been well and truly eclipsed by the performances of both on days 1 and 2 of their first four day contest.
Slater, opening the batting against the Mashonoland Eagles, made 89 in an innings that included nine boundaries, struck all over the billiard table outfield of the Harare Sports Club.
When Slater was finally dismissed in the 70th over as the fourth man out, it meant Burgoyne came to the crease; and the Denby born all-rounder showed no signs of nerves on his first class debut.
Wayne Madsen is the second Derbyshire player to face Tim Groenewald's quick-fire close season interview.
Find out more about the Derbyshire skipper spending his time coaching – but not the sport of cricket.
Also find out Wayne's motivation for bulking up in the gym, which England fast bowler he's looking forward to facing next season and why he'd like to see one of the world's top tennis stars face the red ball.
Ross Whiteley made his senior international debut for England in Hong Kong during the weekend – but it was South Africa that took the trophy.
The Derbyshire all-rounder contributed cameo contributions of 15*, 14* and 22 during the Karp Group Hong Kong Sixes tournament at Kowloon Cricket Club. But he couldn't prevent England from crashing out on Day 1 of the tournament following defeats to hosts Honk Kong and to eventual winners South Africa.
England, who began the competition brightly with a ten wicket victory over Australia, also lost to the Netherlands in their Plate Semi Final on Sunday, a match in which Whiteley didn't feature.
South Africa, meanwhile, romped past Hong Kong and Pakistan to lift the trophy for the second time in four years.
Jake Needham looks back on the matches that really made a difference as Derbyshire set about securing the LV=County Championship Division Two title.
With the well-earned fanfare that the Derbyshire class of 2012 are enjoying after the historic achievement of their first promotion into the top tier of the LV=County Championship, I thought it appropriate to look back at the championship campaign as a whole, and the five season-defining moments that came along the way (if you can't reminisce after a season like this one, when can you!).
Six of Derbyshire's brightest prospects have agreed new deals with the county.
England Under-19s all-rounder Peter Burgoyne (pictured) has signed a new three year contract, whilst fellow all-round prospect Alex Hughes will transfer from a summer contract to a three year full time professional contract from 1 October next year following the completion of his studies.
Burgoyne, 18, has eight career List A and four Twenty20 matches to his credit and hit a maiden unbeaten century for the 2nd XI versus MCC Universities in August.
By Jake Needham
Derbyshire's overseas player of 2011 and 2012, Martin Guptill, crowned a fantastic year by becoming the recipient of the Sir Richard Hadlee Medal at the 2011-12 ANZ New Zealand Cricket Awards.
The most prestigious award of the event is decided by an independent panel and handed to the player whose performances have been the most outstanding during the voting period.

With more than 25,000 respondents the County Research Study conducted by Populus reinforced the key findings of the Morgan Review in particular the need to provide regular scheduling for County cricket.
The ECB Board noted the strong desire from Counties and spectators to create an 'appointment to view' for T20 cricket spread over a longer period of the season. There was no compelling preference from spectators for 40 over cricket rather than 50 over cricket and therefore the format from 2014 will replicate the 50 over format played by the national team.
Consistent with feedback from the players there was a strong desire to retain the LV County Championship in two Divisions of nine teams.

Gonzaga has one more obstacle — San Diego, coached by ex-Zag assistant Bill Grier — in its quest for a 14-0 WCC record. Game time is 4:30 at the Jenny Craig Pavilion.
Read an unedited game preview below.
Staff writer
The 17th-ranked Bulldogs (22-5, 13-0 WCC) are trying to join the 2004 and 2006 Zags in the record books with spotless conference marks. Pepperdine (1982, 1992) and Loyola Marymount (1988) are the only other teams to go undefeated since the WCC's current eight-team alignment went into effect in 1981.
"It would be an incredible accomplishment," Gonzaga head coach Mark Few said. "I told our guys when they're 60 they can be following the Zags in the paper somewhere and they can know nobody can do better than they did if they get it done."
The Toreros (15-14, 6-7) are coming off a 66-60 win over
Beyond that,
"It's been the hardest year I've gone through in coaching from that standpoint and you throw in the (season-ending) injury to Brandon Johnson … it's been frustrating at times," Grier said. "But we've had some stretches where we've played good and beaten some good teams. The last three games we're actually starting to play better."
Grier is pleased with his players' resiliency, but knows it'll take more – points and rebounds, specifically – to knock off the Zags.
"We'll play hard and guard hard, but can we finish it off with rebounds," Grier said. "The other thing is taking care of the ball. You can try to spread them out and drive, and then you have two 6-10 guys in there to block everything. It's tough to score on them."
Gonzaga has won five straight after a disappointing loss to
"Only two other Zag teams have done it (gone unbeaten in the WCC)," junior guard Matt Bouldin said. "To be up there with those guys would be an honor and a good way to send out our seniors."

Iranians drink tea. 'So what!' I hear you say, 'Doesn't everyone?' Probably, but in Iran they do things differently, there's also good news and then there is bad news. I'll start with the good news . . Iranians have drunk tea or chai for around six hundred years. With China just up the Silk Road, […]~ read more ~

Iran Life – Dangerous Liaisons
Iran is a fabulous place to visit – wonderful sights (and sites) to see, terrific food to enjoy and delightful people to meet. So good is it that J and I are going back again early next year to spend three weeks wandering the mountains and villages to seek out flowers and people and the […]~ read more ~

It's more than two years ago since that class travel and blogging act Natalie Sayın sent me a photograph attached to a 'what's this?'

Iran Life – Zein-o-din Caravanserai
In the blisteringly hot months from early June to the end of August, J and I tend to hibernate. We emerge early to get any jobs done in the relative cool before the sun melts over the mountains and then vanish back indoors like rats down a drainpipe! Such behaviour is not conducive to having […]~ read more ~
Iran Life – What A Relief
Persia and Persepolis – two sides of the same coin. You cannot think of one without the other! J was there in autumn of 1978, just a few months before the revolution that overthrew the despotic regime of the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and his queen, Farah Diba. In 1971 Persepolis was used as a […]~ read more ~
Iran Life – Needles In Haystacks
This is a story that epitomises why J and I avoid group travel and prefer to wander off from any designated path or route – why exploring 'off the beaten track' is so much fun and far more enriching than following the person with the coloured flag or umbrella or t-shirt around the same old […]~ read more ~
Urgent and Important
Urgent and important – sometimes there just isn't enough time (or inclination) to deal with both. To do another 'Iran Life' post (urgent – well, sort of) or bog off for a couple of days head-rest (important)? To clean up the workshop after building Gülay's exercise machine (again, sort of urgent when you consider the […]~ read more ~
Iran Life – Rayen Citadel
Our itinerary included the once magnificent Bam Citadel – but it didn't seem right somehow. Much of Bam, along with its citadel and thousands of its inhabitants was destroyed in an horrendous earthquake at 5.26am on 26th December 2003 . The quake was only 6.6 on the Richter Scale but was shallow at just 10 […]~ read more ~
Iran Life – The Beating Heart Of Persia
Insofar as a nation can be said to have a heart, then the beating heart of Persia, of modern Iran, is Hafez! Khwāja Shams-ud-Dīn Muhammad Hāfez-e Shīrāzī was a Persian poet who was born in 1325 and died in 1389. A native of Shiraz, the cultural heart of Persia, he lived and died here, hardly […]~ read more ~
Iran Life – The Kindness Of Strangers
Mashad was an experiential disaster – a depressing waste of time and air fare! It is a fast-growing, modern city of two and a half million people close to the Afghan and Turkmenistan border.

you better believe it, no one wants the problems associated with oil or gas wells, wind turbins or solar farms any where close to their house, but it is ok to put them outside of someone elses home.
Jim: Thanks for the comments! The Keystone XL has a competitor that is doubling capacity. However, the Keystone XL is only for exports that get refined in a tax free plant in Texas for exports to South America and Asia, with no United States benefit. Many fracking operations don't utilize the Natural Gas and result in a lot of unnecessary waste.
lol, damn - now it's scrolled off. was the "first accident i can ever remember" you? if so, my apologies - because if i had realize dit was u, i would have known it was sarcastic. i need to pay more attention lol.
jim - i don't recall now which rocket scientist i was replying to/commenting on, but i assure u it was not u :)
I agree too........................BB2
JimL1...Yes others may look at us that way.
As for the title this is an view from outside of the U.S. which may not a pretty one. I did the test in submission field & came up with no matches on it. Not always 100%.
I feel that Russia & the Chicoms will get the better of us when they unpeg the dollar from oil. So for that reason alone the hurt will be spread around & we have a lot to lose. Because we have put ourselves in such a bad financial hole.
I just noticed that you had posted on CobraLeader's whiteboard back in August, CobraLeader passed away on 11 Dec 2010! Have a nice week! Ron
Because I submitted the article this morning a little after 12 am EDT.
No, the republicans (lower case "re" intentional) will never do that. However, as I understand, what they're against today was what they advocated in the early 50's on their party platform. Eisenhower was the last decent republican president. Well, maybe Ford, too. Oh, I better not get started down this path....!
Thanks. No, I'm connecting in SLC, then to Orange County.

From solo to social information foraging theory
Conferences & Talks
CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute Seminar Series
29 October 2008
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
Information Foraging Theory is a theory of human-information interaction that aims to explain and predict how people will best shape themselves to their information environments, and how information environments can best be shaped to people. The approach involves a kind of reverse engineering in which the analyst asks (a) what is the nature of the task and information environments, (b) why is a given system a good solution to the problem, and (c) how is that "ideal" solution realized (approximated) by mechanism. Typically, the key steps in developing a model of information foraging involve: (a) a rational analysis of the task and information environment (often drawing on optimal foraging theory from biology) and (b) a computational production system model of the cognitive structure of task. I will review work on individual information seeking, as well as out more recent studies of the social production, sharing, and use of information in areas such as wikis, social tagging, social network sites, and social search.

Hey so my good friend, Kevin, invited me to contribute to his Fezzine (a zine celebrating the wonderful independent game, FEZ) and I was super excited!
The only problem was that I'd never played the game. So I hurried on over to Steam, picked up a copy, and it's so thoroughly great!
My contribution plays off of the main game mechanic in the game: rotating the world around the protagonist to progress. The images are printed back-to-back so when you turn the page it's like you're rotating the world! Whooooooooa.
Once I get my hand on a copy (I'll keep you posted when more copies will be available since the first edition is already sold out) I'll snap a few photos.
Anyway, check most of the artwork out here!

The Christian faith has stood the test of time. It has its adherents all over the world. All kinds and classes of people acknowledge that the Lord Jesus Christ is the key to life. The basic teachings of the Christian faith always need to be considered. What is Christianity? Is there any intellectual justification for holding these beliefs today? How should Christians live now we have reached the twenty-first century? If you live in the Aberystwyth area, or are visiting, you are invited to come along to the Sunday meetings and hear the Biblical answers to these and many other vital questions.
Current preaching is on the Perfections of God in the morning and a series on Romans in the evenings. You may read these sermons here.

When the conspiracy has been scrutinised with real effort, it's shown to be so vast and fractal in nature that it can only be an organic result of divinity. Or rather, it is the shadow cast as a natural consequence as the light of creation forms into mass.
It's a tough job to take on the shadow of the divine and it would take many lifetimes to pour light into every global shadow, so the best course is to pour light into your own shadow and illuminate the darkness immediately around you.
Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated. When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind."
Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley 1925
Be careful what you say to yourself. Thoughts are things and words are deeds as far as the back of your mind is concerned. Just like the moon, the mind has its dark side, but it's not the kind of dark you have to be afraid of. It's true that monsters live there in the recesses, amongst all that matter, as well as angels - but they're all gifts, in their own way. You've been given helpers and they are all there as guides. It's true to say that some are more unforgiving with their methods than others. Some are unspeakably ugly and some are unhinged or unkind
It's wise to monitor their behaviour as they steer you zigzag across your path.
When the helpers back there behind your ears hear you speak, they will take you on your word. They tend not to appreciate sarcasm and they disregard irony. Self deprecation is accepted factotum and overstatement treated as factual. When somebody explains about their nature that they are always late, can't keep secrets or have a big mouth, they unwittingly issue commands to the creatures they cannot see. Instantly the spirits set to work making the declaration a reality. 'I am always late' becomes priority and they will stop at nothing to make the statement concrete, proud of their work and oblivious to their host's suffering.
They are simply following orders. Orders delivered from you.

I made a sandwich,
two hours ago.
I made it,
and then abandoned it.
"bye bye sandwich. I'll come back for you", I said.
But did I?
Did I come back? No.
I lied to that damn sandwich.
I left it there,
and it waited for me.
It probably struck it's best sandwich pose, and waited for itself to be savoured.
But it's stale now.
I abandoned my sandwich.

Hello, darlings! Don't be scared, I'm quite sane, I promise you. | A Sherlockian, a Potterhead, a Trekkie, among other things. | A pianist, a violinist, a ukulele-ist (for the sake of consistency, bear with me), and hopefully, one day, a guitarist. I know next to nothing about singing, but I've not got a completely unbearable voice and a life of music has made me not entirely tonedeaf. Thankfully. | I wouldn't call myself an artist, but you will find no notebook of mine not completely filled with drawings. | Have a nice day. <3
I was really, really tired last night, but I just couldn't get to sleep. So I sketched these at some ridiculous hour, and then coloured them in this afternoon.
Helena is singing Sebastian to sleep, Anthea is just trying to get Mycroft to sleep, and Sebastian is making Jim sleep and Jim doesn't get a say in the matter.
I envy Sebastian, Mycroft and Jim.

National Vietnam and Gulf War Veterans Coalition
Position Paper on Drones targeting American citizens:
Advertisement-content continues below
Ever since "UBL died" and "Obama lied", this administration has had a record of smoke and mirrors unrivaled in the annals of American political history. The latest is the "wise" and "legal" and "ethical" drone strikes on Americans and others associated with Al Qaeda and its "associates."
The Coalition has examined the sixteen page document "leaked" to NBC News justifying these drone strikes and finds several problems with this "document." First, it found justification for the much maligned operation(s) into Cambodia during the Vietnam era. Second, it found justification for enhanced interrogation, also much maligned. Third, but not finally, it found justification for the much maligned operation into Iraq. All justifications made by the very same political forces that maligned these operations in their different time frames.
To a degree, it also found justification for drone strikes against Al Qaeda and its allies. They were justifications for normal counterinsurgency operations using these advanced weapons. However, missing was justification for going outside Executive Order 12333 banning assassinations as a national policy, outside the normal bounds of the rules of land warfare. The so-called justifications showed that the Obama Administration is either contemplating or justifying a national policy of assassination against the terrorist network that the administration has belatedly acknowledged we are at war with.
Previously, most notably in Vietnam through the Phoenix Program, the legally accepted way to operate against a "terrorist" organization was to identify first the positions that were to be "targeted" (regardless of who held those positions) and previously made illegal by whatever appropriate means. Once the prior illegality had been established and decision made to dismantle the organization, priorities were set.
Advertisement-content continues below
First would be recruit in place. Second would be to cause the target to defect to the legitimate side. Third would be to run an operation to capture the target. Fourth would be to run an operation; and due to circumstances of the operation, the target is killed. The other priorities will not be discussed because of the nature of the new threat and the probability they have no relevance today.
The document "leaked" shows none of these backgrounds and legalities. The bulk of the document deals with details not relevant to operations against American citizens in a terrorist organization. It lacks in details making these operations "legal" under the rules of land warfare. It stretches the outer boundaries of the rules of land warfare, almost to extinction. For example, "National Self Defense" (page 15) appears to be a huge stretch, if not an outright violation of Executive Order 12333.
The rules on the "feasibility of capture" bear little relevance to what is known about operations, like the assassination of Usama Bin Laden and the drone assassination of Anwar al Awlaki. Bin Laden was unarmed and unresisting when shot and killed. This was a violation of "Further, under this framework, the United States would also be required to accept a surrender if it were feasible to do so…" (page 9). Rules of land warfare require an acceptance of an unresisting surrender. What happened to Bin Laden was also a violation of rules listed on page 14.

Another one of those 'began as a stupid doodle, ended up as a character' sort of things.
The first image was the original from about two years ago.
The second image are doodles I did today.
He's pretty much the damn same, and has creepy-ass 'tentacles' hidden in his body and jagged blades hidden in his tail.
Psydsho is… I guess in the same world as Piker and Kaira as a boss or something. And he's one of those villains that are pretty damned polite after gaming hours. He even owns a fine china tea set, but he mostly uses it for coffee an' stuff. He thinks tea makes him a pansy.
I apologize for his existence.

a haiku about cats

Simon Pegg and Amanda Abbington are having Cumberbatch dirty sex talk, please never stop.
Such sodsI guess I'm just an ungrateful shit-stirrer, but, um, publicly tweeting explicit, albeit joking, RPF self-insertion (pun!) slash about a celebrity friend is totes okay…however, writing on a fandom/fanfic site about Sherlock and John getting romantic and sexy is disrespectful to Benedict and Martin? Simon is a close, close friend, and obviously Amanda is Martin's lifepartner/spouse, so is that what makes the difference? Or is it only different when a famous man initiates it and a famous woman has really witty comebacks? The mental image won't upset Simon's children? Or Amanda's? Or Benedict's, if he ever has any? I mean, it's not weird or off-putting to Ben for a woman to publicly write about Ben's friend and fellow actor penetrating him, as long as the woman is his pal and part of the in-gang, not some virginal teenager or unknown housewife? Or maybe….hmmm….maybe people of all types write things like this because it's fun, or funny, or interesting, or sexy, or a momentary diversion, and nobody actually intends or wishes to disrespect the actors in the first place. Just thinking out loud, here, not trying to criticize Simon or Amanda; merely pointing out alternative readings based on previous discussions and concerns that have been made public before.
It would seem quite a few people are ticked off by this blatant double standard.
Holy shit, I'm disappointed in myself for not even realizing this. Now I am kind of angry. :(
The worst part is - I'm not even angry at them right now (maybe a bit angry at Amanda, though, with her very blatant double standards). I'm furious with interviewers, because the next time they do an interview with any of them the inevitable question is going to be asked and then we'll all be the bad guys again. And what the hell is this? I mean, it's funny, and I love to see those two RP on twitter, but people calling us perverts because we're writing fanfiction on FICTIONAL characters is a bit mad considering what they do on twitter.
Oh I'm pretty angry at them actually, well maybe not Simon so much, because in the past he's shown to be pretty ok with shipping of any character's he's played. Which is awesome (thank you Simon for being an adult about this) but yeah, not cool Amanda. Actually this is the opposite of cool.
That's exactly it! Simon has been okay with it ever since he learned about it. Amanda? Nope. She's been very against the idea of the whole slash fiction. Ben seems to have changed the fronts over the past few years (and I don't blame him, to each his own, plus the interviewers and journalists can really be annoying), now he's rather against, while he has been rather understanding at first.
So what do his friends do? They go and RP this on twitter. I mean, okay, it's hilarious. But seriously, your double standards are annoying. At least Simon is good and as he's always been with it. The rest of them? Not really okay.
I hear everybody here and we can have various opinions and thats ALL FINE.
I ask myself more than ask those reading this- surely they can joke about this because its their privilege? It's about each other and they are all close enough and get each others humour.
We only see this and don't see their private conversations and how they really feel…
A bit like I can make fun about myself with my friends and vice versa because we know each other and it's all good fun. But if someone outside that circle of trust does it , it won't be cool or funny.
So do we really have a say about this?
Also it's their choice to be inappropriate or crass and even have double standards. Just because we are fans doesn't mean we are going to like or agree with what they do in their private lives.
Twitter isn't private but their friendship makes it a two way street to give each other shit and mess around.
It's got nothing to do with whether we like their humour or approve of it. We are outside this. It's not meant for us directly.
Are we not taking offence at something that is not directed at us after all?
It's not black and white
I respect everyone's right to think what ever they want so I'm not talking about that specifically.
Some comments should just be looked at with a grain of salt. It's a bit of fun between Simon and Amanda.
Not Simon, Amanda and you and me and them and everyone over here and over there etc
Like I said before its more my personal observation about how as a fan we get personal with info about our admired people's and how far to invest in various situations.
No hate here :-)
I see your point there, but. There's always a but.
We don't mind them fooling around with each other. It's all fine, more than fine. And such a fun for us to witness it.
The problem lies somewhere else. Actors (and their friends/relatives/partners seem to take a great offense in us, fans, writing fanfiction and doing fanarts of fictional characters. We take them (public domain if we're talking about Sherlock) and put them into different situations. For fun. For our pleasure. For free. We are also fooling around with them (characters). We don't touch the real people with a 10ft stick, because we're not allowed to do so, and we understand the boundaries (in majority, of course there are some fics on Ben/Martin, and I'm not trying to defend those, they are irrelevant to the discussion).
What angers us is not they fooling around in their tight circle and laughing about it. What angers us is the fact that when we play with fictional characters the actors seem offended by it. They seem offended because we dare to put them in a non-canonical relationships, even though for most of us those are canon. The thing that angers us is that stars take it so personally even when it's not directed at them. None of us sends their "dirty" work to them, because it's not for their eyes. It's for us, and we are fooling around, in our tight circle. If they get a sneak peak, which is not that difficult, they should understand that we have a right to fool around just like they have. The fanfictions mentioned in the interviews? So far all of them were about John/Sherlock, Khan/John, etc., not Real Person Fiction, and yet…
Benedict seems to take it all a bit too personally. Again, I don't blame him, with all the journalists throwing this into his face a man is due to get mad. BUT, it's not our fault that interviewers are stupid and can't do their research. If they want to portray the Sherlock Fandom, or even Benedict's Fandom, who, after their (ours) idol not being comfortable with the nickname "Cumberbitches" changed it willingly to "CumberCollective", who protects their personal, private life as much as we can, because they asked us to, who rise money for charities, help homeless, poor, people struggling with many issues on daily basis, if anyone wants to portray us in the media, they shouldn't take out only PWP fanarts we create for our tight circle of Sherlockians.
Also what Amanda does is preposterous. One moment she thinks pairing John with Sherlock is just stupid, and then she proceeds to twitt withe Simon about him and Benedict, however laughable it was? This is just not right. It's cruel for us, fans, who want to have some fun, do something for others, share some art and make the day brighter. First shit on us, then do a thing that is equally "bad"? (Or even worse in a sense?)
That's why we're angry, not because Simon likes to fool around, because he's a perfect human being and god forbid he ever stops.
I'm cool with everyone have their own opinions on this matter.
I would argue with the fact that this conversation between Simon and Amanda should be considered somewhat 'private' because it was only between them, but here's the deal, it wasn't. Everyone knows what twitter is, Amanda and Simon are both very aware of how many followers they each have and how quickly their tweets can spread. Posting anything on a social media website is made public instantly, and is directed towards those millions of followers. If this was meant as a bit of fun between friends, I'm sure they have each others text numbers, simply message each other. They can still joke and make as many off-colored comments as they want without it being circulated to millions of fans.
The question is, is Ben going to be just as upset with Simon and Amanda for insinuating he's involved in a homosexual relationship as he seems to be that we are taking a character he plays and doing the same?
Urgh, this whole situation makes me head hurt.
I'm with Science on this — I reblogged this exchange yesterday, thought it was cute, but hadn't even looked at this for what it is, and now I'm cranky.
Tishy, I think you're right: the key is Benedict's reaction. The sad part is, we won't be privy to what that reaction is.
But yeah, if he endorses this, he had no right condemning us.
Here's hoping he makes the connection quicker than I did…
Agreed. This is why I've always liked it better when the actors and writers and whatnot were unaware of the fandom in general. We kind of need that separation for everything to run smoothly (or as smoothly as fandom ever can run).

How to Make a Paper Dragon
Create a gigantic papier-mache dragon for your Halloween decor.
Print OptionsClose
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Materials and Tools:
sketch pad
black permanent marker
plastic jars
glass jars
chicken wire
wire and wire cutters
gravel or small stones
cardboard and cardboard tube
masking tape
wallpaper paste
white glue
carpenter's glue
container of water
brown craft paper
broken glass
gesso acrylic coating
acrylic paints - purple, metallic emerald green, metallic periwinkle blue
protective gloves and safety glasses
nail polish
glow-in-the-dark white paint
polymer clay
1. Draw a sketch of the Halloween dragon, noting the dimensions.
2. Build the armature of the body by first cutting an oval-shaped piece of cardboard. Cut a piece of chicken wire and wrap the end of the chicken wire around the perimeter of the oval-shaped cardboard.
3. Tape the base in place using masking tape. When working with chicken wire, wear protective gloves.
4. Fill a large jar with small stones for weight and tape it to the cardboard base inside the chicken wire.
5. Form the neck and head shape of the dragon with the chicken wire. Use pliers to connect the ends of the chicken wire together to form an enclosed tube form of the dragon.
6. Create cardboard ears shaped to add dimension by folding the triangular shapes down the center and taping them to hold the dimensional shape. Tape the ears to the top of the head and loop the tape through the chicken wire.
7. Cut triangle shapes out of cardboard for the spines along the dragon's back. Tape them to the chicken wire using masking tape.
8. To make the eyes, break a glass jar using a hammer and select two broken pieces of glass similar to the shape of an eye. With a black marker, draw the eyeballs onto the glass. Color the center of the eye opening with the black marker. Apply nail polish to the glass for the iris of the eye and the area surrounding the eyeball. Let dry. Apply white highlights to the eyeball with white glow-in-the-dark paint. Let dry. Tape the two eyes to the front of the head.
9. Cut short pieces from a cardboard tube to shape the nostrils. Attach them to the chicken wire portion of the snout on the face with masking tape.
10. Form a cardboard mouth and tape it in place inside the chicken wire snout.
11. Mix wallpaper paste in warm water and add white glue to strengthen.
12. Tear strips of brown craft paper in appropriate sizes. Soften them by placing them into a container of water.
13. Wring the excess water from the torn paper strips and spread the glue mixture onto the paper strips. Begin layering the paper strips on the armature. Start at the bottom and work up to the top. When the first layer is dry, apply a second layer, placing subsequent paper layers at 90 degrees to the previous layer wherever possible to strengthen. Let dry.
14. Add more layers of paper, usually six to eight layers for a piece this size. Let dry.
15. Form the eyelid and facial features of the papier-maché Halloween dragon using dry paper towels, which can be molded like clay.
16. Apply a coat of white acrylic gesso sealer to the entire outside paper layer. Let dry.
17. Paint the dragon in final colors, metallic emerald green for the body and metallic periwinkle blue for the spikes. Let dry. Apply a second coat and let dry.
18. Make a tongue from wired ribbon covered with papier-maché. Paint the tongue to match the inside of the mouth. Let dry. Glue the tongue inside the mouth using carpenter's glue. Let dry.
