Beakers? Of colored liquids? But that means... there's SCIENCE going on here!When the subject of a TV show includes the use of deadly toxins, radioactive materials, or biological or chemical agents, you can almost be sure Special Effects artists will make them look a lot more interesting than they are in real life. This is because the vast majority of chemical compounds are colorless, odorless, tasteless and could easily be substituted with a glass of water or a spoonful of salt. Since that doesn't look exciting or menacing, they tend to get totally unrealistic spruce-ups. Radioactive elements tend to have a Sickly Green Glow, despite the fact that only radium paint does this in Real Life. And even then, it's the zinc sulfide in the paint reacting to high-energy alpha radiation that causes the pale green glow, not the radioactive element itself. Pure radium is an ordinary-looking silvery metal. Since radium paint was once used to make glow-in-the-dark watch faces and instrument gauges before the health risks became known, "radioactive = glowing green" has stuck in the public mind. For that matter, acid is almost always depicted green and frequently boiling too. While it's true that acid solutions in the real world can vary widely in color from green to red to everything in-between, the acids most often used for modern industrial purposes (sulfuric and hydrochloric) are colorless and clear. Furthermore, boiling them would not be a tremendously useful or wise thing to do. Incidentally, skin contact with most industrial acids will cause a potentially serious and painful chemical burn; but it won't dissolve someone instantly to the bone. Note, however, that there are several kinds of Deadly Gas in Real Life that are colorful — most notably, fluorine (yellow), chlorine (green), and bromine (red-brown), though bromine is a liquid at room temperature. Electricity, too, is more colorful and dramatic than in the real world, even more so in animation. Anything electrically charged, such as an electric fence, is more likely than not to light up the surrounding area with crawling arcs of jagged blue fire accompanied by a sizzling noise, even though in the real world such a display requires a charge of tens of thousands of volts and a separation from an electrical ground that is within rather narrow limits. If a person on TV is being electrically shocked, there will almost always be an extremely impressive display of buzzing and crackling arcs of flickering blue fire and perhaps even a display of X-Ray Sparks. While mains electricity at 100-250 volts is more than capable of killing a human being in the right circumstances, it isn't nearly enough for impressive displays of St. Elmo's Fire. The center of a nuclear reactor does glow, but it certainly doesn't pulse up and down�and again it's not green. The glow is called Cherenkov Radiation and it's a pleasing steady blue colour. Of course, it's only safe to view that blue glow through water, at the bottom of a "swimming pool" reactor�if you see it in air, and not on the other side of thick leaded glass, then to quote Winchell Chung, "...the good news is you can probably live long enough write your last will and testament. If you write very quickly." Dropping a chunk of dry ice into a beaker of water will cause it to appear to boil and give off a ghostly white fog; this isn't all that useful (sometimes small pellets of dry ice are used this way in order to exclude air from a container briefly), but it is a staple of the Mad Scientist Laboratory. If you add a bit of universal indicator to the water, adding the dry ice will make it turn red and start smoking. Oddly, the one color you don't often see, but is actually common in laboratories, is hot pink. Phenolphthalein turns bright pink in a basic solution, and is frequently used in acid-base titrations. It will also go red in very strongly acidic solutions, though this is seldom used for anything in a laboratory. Electronics are not exempt from this either- high-tech machines will often be covered with pretty but seemingly pointless blinking LED lights (which old-school computer types refer to as "das Blinkenlights"), glass pipes full of glowing energy, and meaningless screens displaying bright symbols. Modern technology, especially things that need to be covert, don't usually have these; with the exception of MP3 players. However, if you go into a lab that works with transition metals, it will be very colourful. It's one of their noted properties. See also Technicolor Toxin and Science Cocktail.

Just in case anyone forgot, Jennifer Lopez proved she's still bootyful last night.
The 43-year-old curvaceous diva showed off her God given talents at the premiere of her new film "Parker" in Vegas.
The end is amazing.
Why don't some of these stars just walk on naked? This is what it is coming down to. What happened back in the day when women were just plain sexy in evening gowns or day wear. We all know what a penis & vagina looks like so please save something that the whole world has not seen.
I think I've just been grossed out. Excuse me while I go barf!
There's a different between curves and fat! Just because she gets lypo and leaves the fat on her ass do not mean sexy! Curves is muscle tone and not cottage cheese. She looks like she is wearing diapers. Since when is jiggly soft body and a fat ass sexy! These fat short woman are converting imperferect to perfect. Because they are not perfect. Proportion is beautiful.... Not obese asses people
On what planet is that considered a good body?? It's gross!
why does j lo always take pics with her mouth open??? every single pic she makes weird faces with her mouth open.

I heard about this Virgin Mobile MIFI thing a while back. $40/month for 3g speed, unlimited.
Great. So I get it at Walmart. Here's what happened next.
1) I NEVER EVER got any "3g"-ish speed. NEVER.
In fact, on day 1, the highest I've gotten was 80-100 kbps. Ok at that time, I didn't mind the lower speed for having convenience. If they gave me consistent 80-100 kbps, I would have stayed with them
2) Once you exceed their "tolerable" usage limit, they will reduce you speed.
In fact, I was even given a "warning" about it.
My speed went from barely 50-70 kbps (about 2 weeks into the service) to… BARELY 10-15 kbps.
I don't know if the people at Virgin Mobile just failed math, but there is no possible way I could've downloaded (according to the dashboard when you login to their system) 4 FREAKIN' TERABYTES of data… EVEN if they gave me 100 kbps. Don't believe me? Here's the math.
3) Your service gets dropped like a hot potato
During month 2, I don't ever recall not having to reboot the damn device every hour or so.
4) Customer service SUCKS
Their douche bag call center customer reps must've graduated only junior high school. Won't even go into details, but a common "solution" to every freakin' issue i called in for was to "reboot" the damn device.
Once a lady on Twitter tried to reach out to me, but I'm guessing she did that b/c she was bored. When I replied back, nothing.
Like most people, I don't like pain. I went BACK to Walmart to return this product and guess what, by then I exceeded their 15 day return policy on electronics.
Side Note to Walmart: Any device where you have to get a service on should not be subject to this policy. I don't buy a damn Mifi device b/c what it it is. I buy it so I can get the damn 3g service.
After a LONG argument with at least 4 of their customer support, they decide to refund my money.
For that, Walmart, THANK YOU. You guys run a great business and I am your loyal customer. In fact, you guys should stop carrying shitty Virgin products. Makes you guys look bad.
For this, Virgin. F*CK YOU. I hate your god damn, overly promised, way way way under-delivered service.
I'm guessing Virgin probably DROPPED my speed after 2 weeks because they found that I got this from Walmart and knew about this 2 week policy thing. Thanks for the SCAM, Virgin.

CrunchDaddy Popcorn is produced in Maryland… not exactly the BBQ capital of the U.S., but we can hang with the best of them and proudly do.
It was during a recent all-day smoking session that the discussion turned to what makes for great, authentic smoked BBQ flavor. In this case, these two 10-lb pork butts (below) were being smoked lovingly and gently for 11 hours by using hickory wood chips in the Brinkmann smoker. It's the kind of BBQ aroma that will drive the neighbors nuts, so be prepared for guests!
(For the record… The smoked pork shown above is not charred, not burned, but rather displaying the highly coveted "bark" that comes naturally from proper smoking… Slightly crisp with a smoked jerky-like quality on the outside… Hungry yet?)
My guests were surprised to learn that not all "smoked" food items are truly smoked, but rather artificially flavored… and this practice is much more common than most people know. Sadly, products like liquid smoke and smoke flavored powders are mass produced and sold in huge quantities to the restaurant and food production industries. Despite the claims of authenticity and purity from the manufacturers of these flavorings, they taste awful. Liquid smoke is so bad that it made the Health Magazine's list of "18 Most Sickening Food Ingredients".
When it came time to develop a recipe for our Smokey Cheddar Crunch, we knew that the smokey taste had to be authentic… but we also knew that we couldn't actually "smoke" the popcorn nor the Cabot white cheddar cheese that we use… and using a liquid or powdered "smoke" flavoring was simply out of the question.
Our solution was found in the naturally smokey taste of Spanish smoked Paprika, known in Spain as "Pimentón de la Vera". This magical spice is created by smoking the small, freshly-harvested red chiles over oak wood fires for 1-2 weeks and then milling them finely on stone wheels. The result is a highly prized spice that is indispensable to Spanish cooking as well as to the making of our Smokey Cheddar Crunch!
The lesson here is to take great care in the ingredients that you choose as well as the products that you purchase at the market. Read the labels on your favorite seasonings, BBQ sauces and other "smokey" flavored items. Skip anything that contains "smoke flavoring" and invest the time and love that it takes to make your smoked BBQ experience as tasty and rewarding as possible. You'll be THRILLED with the results!
Crunch On!
1 note &
There's a story behind every CrunchDaddy Popcorn flavor, because each one evolves and is always considered a work in progress. We play around with original taste combinations for our gourmet popcorn, savory and sweet, as we never use the common, artificial flavorings that so many popcorn makers use.
Most of my fellow Marylanders would agree that the definitive taste of our great state is the Chesapeake Bay seasoning that we use on our steamed crabs, shrimp and other seafood. We in Maryland love the taste so much that we put in on our chicken wings, our French fries, in barbecue sauces, in our soups and stews… and on our popcorn!
One of our most recent CrunchDaddy flavor releases is "Chesapeake Peanut Crunch." It's a kicked-up version of our Caramel & Peanut Crunch… spiced with Chesapeake seasoning for a sweet, spicy, peanutty, crunchy and salty experience that immediately rings the flavor bell for the locals in Maryland.
It sounds like an easy product to develop, but we're very picky about our ingredients… and the common Chesapeake spice blends that we found in the local supermarket just didn't work well for us. By the time we developed Chesapeake Peanut Crunch we were also producing Maryland Crab Feast Crunch (with Chesapeake seasoning, vinegar and sea salt) and had retired an old kettle corn variety that used the same seasoning. Each flavor had merits, but lacked something that always left us feeling as though these flavors could be improved.
As luck or providence would have it… CrunchDaddy has a great friend and customer, Jennifer, who lives in Frederick, Maryland. Several months ago she messaged me to ask if our products were made with "J.O. Spice"… and if not, could she introduce me to her connection at J.O. Spice and perhaps get a sample of their product to me. After a busy holiday season it was time to look into what was lacking in our flavors that use Chesapeake seasoning and time to get a taste of this wonderful J.O. Spice seasoning that Jennifer raved about.
Through some experimentation we discovered that the gourmet popcorn products we were working on tasted much better when made with sea salt rather than common iodized salt… and that a finer spice blend would adhere to the popcorn more consistently. With these issues in mind we finally got the opportunity to try J.O. Spice and meet with the owners of the company, Don and Ginger Ports. I shared with them my experiences with using other Chesapeake spice blends and my desire to create a better tasting, better seasoned and overall more consistent product that would represent our beloved taste of Maryland.
By the end of our meeting, Don and Ginger agreed to produce a custom blend of their J.O. Spice to our specifications, with sea salt, that would take our Chesapeake Peanut Crunch and Maryland Crab Feast Crunch to the level of quality and taste that we were looking for… and they delivered! The difference in taste and quality were obvious and we knew immediately that our gourmet popcorn products would be made with J.O. Spice from here on.
You won't find J.O. Spice in every grocery store, but in Maryland you can count on finding it in the crab houses and seafood restaurants that feature the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay, because J.O. Spice is the overwhelming choice for those who know how our crabs and seafood should taste.
Count us at CrunchDaddy Popcorn among those in the know, as we are proud to represent the state of Maryland by using J.O. Spice on our gourmet popcorn!

How many times do we hear companies tout that a certain product is "New and Improved", only to find out that it really doesn't taste or perform any better or any worse than it already had?
Well, dear friends… We at CrunchDaddy Popcorn are proud and excited to tell you that we've been hard at work to improve one of our classic, original savory flavors, White Cheddar & Horseradish Crunch. At long last, we've nailed it!!
"But if it's classic and original, why mess with it?"
The truth is that while we love cheddar cheese on our popcorn and go crazy for horseradish, we have had a terrible time sourcing horseradish that has just the right taste to make this flavor a winner on a regular basis. Horseradish lovers crave the fiery sensation that it brings to the palate… and when blended with fine cheddar cheese it can be heavenly.
Unfortunately, horseradish can also be terribly bitter when not processed properly. Perhaps it has to do with the region in where it is grown, the soil, the moisture or other factors that only a horseradish expert would know. All we know is that the taste of the horseradish that we purchase for CrunchDaddy Popcorn varies wildly. The inconsistent quality has made it terribly difficult to produce a product with the flavor and heat that our customers demand and without the medicinal bitterness that horseradish can bring.
Frankly, it's been maddening… to the point that we nearly discontinued the product!
Yet, we love challenges… and we don't give up that easily! Thus, we decided to approach the flavor in an entirely different way. Per customer demands, we knew we needed more of that classic horseradish HEAT, the kind that wakes your taste buds and makes your eyes water just a bit!! Beyond that, we needed a more consistent quality of horseradish that was free of the bitterness that was too familiar to us.
After some research, consultation with a horseradish expert (by luck!) and some late night experiments in the CrunchDaddy test kitchen, we're proud to tell you that White Cheddar & Horseradish Crunch has evolved… Truly "New and Improved", with all of the great taste and zesty spice that our customers have asked of us! This flavor is one that deserves a place at your next cocktail party!!
Crunch On!!

shutting down/sleep problem
I have problems with bsod while gameing. I have reported this in another threat (Blu screen while gaming) in march/april. But no one helped me out. Tried everything DeanP asked me, but there was no more response from him.
For now I wolud like to live this problem with BSOD while gaming (I found that my graphic card was overheating and haven't found a solution yet; tried to clean from dust, reinstalled drivers, ...), because I have other problems with shutting down/sleep.
Sometimes the pc shuts down just fine. Sometimes when I try to shut down the pc, it comes to the windows shutting down screen and then to the black screen, but fans still work for 10-20 min and then the pc restarts. Only now I'm able to shut it down.
Sometimes some problems occure even when I try to wake my pc from sleep mode. It won't. I need to reset or even shut down (I need to push the shut down button for 5 sec).
I had more problems with bootin-up, but for now (2-3 weeks) they are gone.
I'm attaching the dump and system report files ...

Well, I was told by somoene that it would be better to have it all in one unit but I can't find anything like it anywhere.
Hi, at the moment in our church, we have two monitors at the back and a screen and projector at the front. The output to the second screen is displayed on the projector via a CAT5 VGA extender. This is basically sending the VGA over the CAT5 because of the long distance.
We now want to put a splitter at the projector end so that we can have some more monitors at the front - the same as whats on the screen. I have heard that there are some units that will have a CAT5 input and 4 VGA outputs but I can't find any anywhere. The other option is to have the VGA reciever there and then a seperate splitter.
Does anyone know where I can find a CAT5 input and 4 VGA output unit?
Well, I was told by somoene that it would be better to have it all in one unit but I can't find anything like it anywhere.
Mini CAT5 Extenders ⢠Mini CAT5 Splitter/Extenders - Black Box®
AC601A 4 port vga to cat5 splitter.
Hi, yeah I found these as well but what im looking for is a reciever unit that has 1 CAT5 input and 4 VGA ouputs. So there is one sender with 1 VGA input and one reviever with 4 VGA outputs.
Looks like I'l just have to have a seperate splitter.
We have a system from a company called ROSE electronics. you be able to do what you want to do with their solutions. let me warn you they are expensive but they work!!

This is more of a reintroduction than an introduction.
I used to post here occasionally when I worked for the LEA support team (Link2ICT), but when I left the company I was more of a lurker as my job wasn't in education any more.
However, I've recently been offered the role of ICT Manager in a school in Birmingham and will be starting that in January, so I thought I'd start posting here again.
It should be quite interesting being on this side of things having experienced it from the support side. And hopefully those who remember me from my Link days won't be too harsh on me.

and tell all your friends.
too adorable
let slide your ring finger
through thumb and forefinger
and forget about the day
hot water for loose leaves
in the neon breeze of the stereo
set your mind at ease
with a constance seldom felt
forseen in the swirling rings
of your favorite tea cup
you said in a whisper
so intently
admire that time you chose
to listen to two doves
cooing in the boughs
of the oldest tree in the city
Hello again,
Its been quite some time since I've posted anything about what I've been up to. I've been busy pulling my hair out over not being able to find work and subsequently a place to live. What I wanted, foolishly as I've learned, was to walk right into a new home without having a job so that I could kick back and relax on my savings for a few months before. I came to find this idea assbackwards from the reality of moving. The following is a list of things I've learned about moving to a new city:
1. Have a job when you arrive. If not, you better be prepared with an attractive resume. Check out this excellent source for tips on crafting a resume you can be confident will set you apart from the myriad applicants employers have to shovel through each day. I did and it payed off.
2. If you don't have a job, don't expect to find a place to live. Most rentals require that you and your roommates make at least 3x the rent, and sometimes you have to qualify individually. That means that each person has to make 3x the rent on their own!
3. Don't think that having savings and no steady income will land you a month-to-month lease either, because it most likely won't. I still haven't quite figured out why this is the case, but it happened to me, and it can happen to you.
4. If you're staying with friends, be sure to communicate and treat their home and their personal needs with respect. They want to help you, so help them help you and save each other the stress.
5. The most important thing I've learned is that sometimes you have to take a step back so you can get a real good look at where you're headed, whether its taking any job you can get because you're running out of money, or living wherever you can because all you really need is a warm shower and shelter from the rain, be welcome to compromise and little pleasures. You're still better off than most people in the world.
In light of all the stress I've been experiencing, I finally landed a job at Blue Kangaroo Coffee Roasters. The ladies that run the place started out roasting coffee beans over a burner in their back yard and now roast and serve some of the freshest, tastiest coffee I've ever had in their own cafe in Sellwood, a thriving suburb in southeast Portland dripping with that small town feel and set right against the Willamette and the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. Now that I'm employed, I feel much more confident that the apartment Derek and I applied for in Sellwood will be ours come Monday.
If any of you decide to move to a new city, please do yourself a favor and consider what I've said. Do it for yourself. Do it for your hair.
Derek and I played a show at the house/venue known as Stantanova last night. An unassuming Portland home from the street, a warm and welcoming basement full of stage lights and good vibes. An eclectic set of musicians played, all of them incredibly talented and humble nonetheless. The crowd had died down by the time we played but most people seemed to enjoy it. It felt good to be among such great people. It kinda felt like home. This might be a usual joint for us.
Greetings from Portland! Derek and I spent the last week in San Francisco and camped in the Redwoods National Park before getting here last night. Today we'll be driving around looking for places to live and day jobs. I'll upload some pictures and videos from the trip later. Its been a blast and I miss you all very much. Set aside some free time in December so I can hang out with you!
Hello, San Francisco!
Derek and I filmed a video of our new song today and I'll have it posted soon. Other than that, today was nice and relaxing. My family got in from New York and we all went out to P.F. Chang's for dinner. We had their delicious chicken lettuce wraps, and ordered 7 dishes which we all passed around tapas style to share. The food was incredible and for desert we had fried bananas with fruit and coconut ice cream. I spent a little time catching up with everyone and when we got back home Derek and I watched Tron in 3D Blueray on my uncle's crazy nice TV. We spent some time talking with my aunt and uncle before they went to bed and now we're enjoying some Fat Tire's before we hit the hay. Tomorrow we'll be on the road to Irvine, CA and then Yosemite the following day!

Dutch Unveil Robot Gas Station Attendant
kdawson posted more than 6 years ago | from the what-could-possibly-go-wrong dept.287
Lucas123 writes "According to a Reuters' story, Dutch inventors today took the wraps off a $110,000 car-fueling robot they say is the first of its kind. (It was inspired by a cow milking robot.) After registering the car as it pulls up to the pump, the machine matches your fuel cap design with those in a database and your car's fuel type, and then a robotic arm fitted with multiple sensors extends from a regular gas pump, 'opens the car's flap, unscrews the cap, picks up the fuel nozzle and directs it towards the tank opening, much as a human arm would, and as efficiently.' Wait till Hollywood gets hold of this scenario."

Father's Day at the ballpark. It just seems right.
This past weekend I decided that I'd surprise my dad, who's the reason I am a Mets fan today, with tickets to Sunday's game at Citi Field against the Chicago Cubs.
While it's been a trying season, win or lose, everything was set up for a nice way to spend a day with my father.
My story is not atypical, but I figured I would share it.
After an early stop at McFadden's, I took my dad around the ballpark, showing him amenities and views he hasn't experience at Citi Field before. We'd spend a few innings in centerfield, then go up to the Pepsi Porch up until we made our way back down to Shea Bridge, where we would stay for the remainder of the day.
Inning by inning would pass and the Mets would continue to squander opportunities to score, but still, it was just a 1-0 deficit, anything can happen. That was up until the 5th inning where, after a great diving stop by David Wright, it appeared as if a scene from 'The Benny Hill Show' broke out onto a baseball field. One play, two runs, three balls thrown away, and a 3-0 Chicago Cubs lead.
Normally I'm an advocate of staying until that final out, because baseball is different from any other sport. There is no clock. No deficit is out of reach. Until the 27th out is recorded, anything is possible. However it was in the 8th inning, still at 3-0, when my father nudged me and said "let's go". On a normal day, there's no chance I'm leaving that game, but it was Father's Day—his day. So we left.
As we're walking out I stop and look at him to say "you're going to feel so stupid when they score 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th", jokingly. "I'll take my chances", he retorted.
As we sit in traffic driving home, we flip on WFAN just in time for the 9th inning. Carlos Marmol, who is known to get out of control, was on the mound for Chicago, but I didn't think much of it. As Howie Rose describes the length of Marlon Byrd's solo HR to leadoff the inning I look over towards my father, nudging him that the comeback has begun.
It was after Lucas Duda's walk and John Buck's single where we begin to think something may actually be going on. As Omar Quintanilla successfully lays down a sacrifice bunt to move the tying runs into scoring position, traffic clears up and we start to make way towards home.
Then, before I can even say anything, it happens. Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who had been batting .094 prior to his at-bat, blasts a 3-run, walk-off home run and the Mets win the game.
You'd think we'd be angry about leaving, and maybe we were a little, but we were too busy laughing as I repeatably hit him in the arm to notice or care.
Would being there for a four run rally in the bottom of the 9th been fun? Yes, but I think what happened will be even more memorable and a story that I can tell people for the rest of my life.
How did we get here? Six years ago to the day the New York Mets were playing Game 7 of the National League Championship Series after winning the night before. Endy Chavez—who despite the outcome will forever live in Mets lore—made one of the greatest catches in the history of this team, robbing Scott Rolen of a go-ahead home run in the 6th. I can go through all of it: The Catch, Aaron Heilman, Yadier Molina & strike 3 called. I was 15 years old, watching a full season of Mets baseball for the first time. I went to bed that night fighting off tears, but my father, along with friends, told me the now infamous line we've all heard: "Don't worry, we'll be back."
2007 started with so much promise as the Mets dominated throughout most of the season. Weeks away from clinching a second consecutive division title, we know what happened next. An epic collapse that could only leave us in a catatonic shock as we buried our heads for the winter. But 2008 would be different, right? The talent's still there, all Moises Alou did was get hit after hit after hit. The trade & signing of Johan Santana was supposed to solidify this team & give them a true ace after dealing with the chronic injuries of former Red Sox star Pedro Martinez. The Mets never ran away with things in 2008, but they scrapped & fought throughout the season, which looked as if it would culminate in a redeeming playoff berth that would never come. Shea Stadium closed it doors with a deceiving fly-ball off the bat of Ryan Church. Another collapse. On top of it, we had to go through the closing ceremonies of our beloved Shea. As I laid my head on my desk, now 17 years old & in my first year of college, I didn't know what to think. But the eternal optimism was still there. 2009 would be better. It had to be—right?
It was April 13, 2009 the day Citi Field first opened its doors for regular season baseball. What looked to be a memorable night turned into anything but. Jody Gerut lead-off the first inning of Citi Field's history with a home run down the right field line off of Mike Pelfrey. In the 5th inning facing a 5-2 deficit when David Wright stepped to the plate & with one momentous swing of the bat tied the game with the first Mets home run in the stadium's history. They would later lose the game 6-5 on a balk. The 2009 season would have plenty of strange & painful moments as Sports Illustrated's World Series prediction wound up to be a major bust. Nearly the entire team would wind up facing injury issues & just like that the Mets became irrelevant for the first time in years.
2010 was the first time since 2004 where there were basically no expectations for the Mets. They looked to surprise many early on when they lead the Wild Card & were 11 games over .500 in late June. I think we know how this ends, unfortunately. Expectations went up early & were quickly brought down with a second half collapse. We would see this trend continue throughout 2011 & 2012 which both ended in under .500 seasons.
So here we are, six whole years since Game 7. Six years since the postseason. In those six years the Mets have had their ups & downs. Unfortunately, every season since then has ended on a low note. After yet another second half debacle, fans are as down as we've seen them in a long time. It's pretty amazing that the New York Mets went from a game away from the World Series to perennial contender to a running joke. Yet with all that we have been dealt & everything I've seen since that fateful October night, I continue to look ahead. There is hope. David Wright appears to be on his way to becoming a Met for life, Ike Davis rebounded from a bad first half to hit over 30 home runs, Matt Harvey has begun to establish himself in the majors & Zack Wheeler is right behind him. There's no question that changes must be made in order to make this a better team, but the phrase "We'll be back" still reigns true. It's just taking longer than we thought.
A season that started with so much promise—an MVP candidate in David Wright, an absurd June by knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, a no-hitter by Johan Santana & relevant games into the All-Star Break—quickly spiraled into one of the most difficult stretches the New York Mets have seen in the past decade. There was the disappointment of the 2006 playoffs, the back-to-back collapses in 2007 and 2008 & of course the subsequent irrelevant years after that but these post-All-Star break Mets were something we haven't experienced in a long time in New York.
The starting pitching took a hit when after the historic June 1st no-hitter, Johan Santana was no longer the same pitcher. Then right at the All-Star break it was announced Dillon Gee would miss the remainder of the season because of a damaged artery. Even the arrival of top-pitching prospect Matt Harvey couldn't bring much excitement to this fanbase as night in & night out the Mets figured out new & creative ways to hit new lows. At one point they were 2-14 after the break—at home. And just when it looked like things may turn around after a fairly successful West Coast road trip, the lights went out.
After losing another series to the first place Washington Nationals, the Mets went on an unbelievable offensive blackout, scoring 2 runs or fewer in 7 consecutive games, 5 of them at home. I was at Citi Field on July 22nd, the 3rd game of a 4-game series against the lowly Colorado Rockies, and the midst of one of the darker periods in Mets baseball that I can remember. Facing the worst pitching staff in the Major Leagues, New York had mustered just a combined 3 runs in the first 2 games—both losses. At this point in the year, the fans had seemed to of gotten to a point of indifference. Buzz around the team had faded away, fewer & fewer in-game tweets from fans led to almost nothing. The players were trying everything in the batting cages. I saw Daniel Murphy working with Mike Baxter for a bit, Josh Thole was trying to pull the ball more, but nothing seemed to work. The focus, that was once on meaningful September games & even an October run, had become on the future, a feeling this fanbase has experienced since the end of 2008. Even WFAN radio host Mike Francesa, a Yankees fan, went off on a 10 minute tirade about how the Mets had "died".
But just when things had gotten their darkest, when all looked lost, when many people believed that Terry Collins' team had quit on him… There was light.
On Sunday, September 5th, after blowing a 1-0 lead in the 9th inning to the Houston Astros—who have the worst record in all of baseball—one swing of the bat brought life back to this team. After Ike Davis' walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th, the Mets got to celebrate—as a team—for the first time in weeks. Yes, it was against the Astros & yes, the dream of making a run to the playoffs was all but dead but this team needed something, anything to get out of the rut they were in & this was the moment that accomplished that. The Mets won the series & followed that up with winning 2 of 3 from the all-of-a-sudden streaking Phillies (in Philadelphia where they finished 7-2 this season) & a sweep against the Marlins in their empty, albeit brand new, stadium. Sure, winning series from the Astros, Phillies & Marlins, who are all under .500, is in no way a feat but it was something. It gave fans a reason to watch. When the Mets were struggling their worst, they were losing to good teams, bad teams & anyone in between.
The Mets aren't making the playoffs & the same may even be true for next year but unlike those weeks after the All-Star break this team has become watchable for them. Will they make a run to finish over .500 or for that matter exceed last season's win total? That is yet to be seen. With young players like Matt Harvey, Jenrry Mejia, Jeurys Familia & Josh Edgin, the team captain in David Wright & the CY Young Award front-runner R.A. Dickey on this club, there are reasons to watch.
Will Lucas Duda hit for the type of power we had all hoped & expected? Will Ike Davis' 2nd half resurgence erase his first 2 months? Can David Wright rebound? What can we expect to get out of these young pitchers? These are questions we're all asking, and we'll find out the answers by watching the Mets this September. A task that doesn't seem all that bleak anymore.
In Houston he's mostly an unknown but to Mets fans, Fernando Martinez once represented a glimmer of hope.

Amazon has just sent us a brief proposal. We invite Amazon to withdraw the sanctions they have unilaterally imposed, and we will continue to negotiate in good faith and with the hope of a swift conclusion. We believe that the best outcome for the writers we publish is a contract with Amazon that brings genuine marketing benefits and whose terms allow Hachette to continue to invest in writers, marketing, and innovation. We look forward to resolving this dispute soon and to the benefit of the writers who have trusted their books to us.
(July 8, 2014)
It is good to see Amazon acknowledge that its business decisions significantly affect authors' lives. For reasons of their own, Amazon has limited its customers' ability to buy more than 5,000 Hachette titles.
Authors, with whom we at Hachette have been partners for nearly two centuries, engage in a complex and difficult mission to communicate with readers. In addition to royalties, they are concerned with audience, career, culture, education, art, entertainment, and connection. By preventing its customers from connecting with these authors' books, Amazon indicates that it considers books to be like any other consumer good. They are not.
We will spare no effort to resume normal business relations with Amazon—which has been a great partner for years—but under terms that value appropriately for the years ahead the author's unique role in creating books, and the publisher's role in editing, marketing, and distributing them, at the same time that it recognizes Amazon's importance as a retailer and innovator. Once we have reached such an agreement, we will be happy to discuss with Amazon its ideas about compensating authors for the damage its demand for improved terms may have done them, and to pass along any payments it considers appropriate.
In the meantime, we are extremely grateful for the spontaneous outpouring of support we have received both privately and publicly from authors and agents. We will continue to communicate with them promptly as this situation develops.
(May 28, 2014)
We are determined to protect the value of our authors' books and our own work in editing, distributing, and marketing them. We hope this difficult situation will not last a long time, but we are sparing no effort and exploring all options.
(May 23, 2014)
Amazon has now taken preorder capabilities away from Hachette Book Group publications. Forthcoming books now bear a notice "currently unavailable" and a note inviting customers to ask for an email when it becomes available. There is no preorder button, and some not-yet-published books lack a Kindle page entirely.
We are doing everything in our power to find a solution to this difficult situation, one that best serves our authors and their work, and that preserves our ability to survive and thrive as a strong and author-centric publishing company.
(May 23, 2014)
It is our normal policy not to comment on negotiations underway with any retailer.
However, we have been asked legitimate questions about why many of our books are at present marked out of stock with relatively long estimated shipping times on the Amazon website, in contrast to immediate availability on other websites and in stores.
We are satisfying all Amazon's orders promptly, and notifying them constantly of forthcoming publicity events and of out-of-stock situations on their website. Amazon is holding minimal stock and restocking some of HBG's books slowly, causing "available 2-4 weeks" messages, for reasons of their own.
We are grateful for the patience of authors and all Amazon readers as we work to reach an agreement and to encourage Amazon to be back to offering Hachette Book Group's books within normal shipment times.

Westinghouse - Original Home Demo
Conrad Shiner
121 plays
This week, my song Westinghouse was named a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, which places it in the top 1% of 19,000 entries, where it will now be judged by a panel of celebrity judges including most notably (for me, anyway) Tom Waits. This is by far the coolest thing to happen to me since I released The Lost Decade last May. You can listen to the track in full over at Soundcloud.
About a month ago, I was interviewed by the music journalist Fernando Navarro for a piece in his blog, La Ruta Norteamericana. He asked where I was from, and I went on this tangent about my hometown:
"Though the area has gotten on, there was certainly a permanent loss when the last big steel mill closed. A lot of good jobs went away and really won't ever come back.
Or maybe I'm just being cynical because I have a complicated relationship with my hometown – which is not a unique feeling, I'm sure. Perhaps no matter how much it grows or how much time moves on, it will still feel stagnant for me, because it wasn't a place where I feel I could ever grow, personally.
Some of these feelings are addressed in the song Westinghouse, which is the only track on the album I didn't write 100% - the lyrics are adapted from a poem my sister wrote, actually. She says I changed them enough to claim sole authorship, but the real soul of the material was created by her. There's a lot more ground to cover there, in terms of musical inspiration, but I think every singer-songwriter needs to get that one song about their hometown out of the way early on."
Fernando also asked about how the album came together:
"When I was 28 or so I had this idea that I wanted to go through everything I had ever written and find all the good songs once and for all, and maybe pull an album together. Luckily, the process of doing this opened up that creative part of my brain even wider and at that point I quickly wrote 8 of the 12 songs that would become The Lost Decade (the other 4 were the best of my earlier material), in addition to some others that didn't make the cut."
In that mix was the song Westinghouse, which I wrote in a very short span of time in early 2009. When I was cultivating my material, I remembered a poem that my sister had written and I emailed her about it. Upon receipt, I was blown away by the language of the piece - it was simple and accessible, yet evocative and deep. I was immediately inspired. I sliced and diced the words into verses, a chorus, a bridge. A melody for the chorus came quickly. The bridge appropriated a previous idea that I remember was going through my head incessantly at the time. The melody for the verses came last. Within a week, I had completed the song (though of course it wouldn't get recorded in its actual album form for another two plus years).
For your listening pleasure (and my cringing, a bit), I have attached the recording I made of the song the first ever night I played it through, start to finish. Obviously a few parts have been tweaked between then and now, but the soul of the material remains largely the same.
And for your reading pleasure, I have copied below the original poem (by my sister, remember!) that was the inspiration for the song. This song has brought me a special sort of joy, as not only have I created something that I am proud of, but I got to transform a piece of art created by my sister and watch her joy at seeing it come to a second life. To-date, this song remains my proudest musical accomplishment.

No one in New York
knows Sharon.
Northwest of Pittsburgh,
southwest of Erie,
down the West Hill from Ohio,
steeltown, place
where two railroads first met.
An uncle, usually refugee
in Belgium, California, anywhere
but here, won't drive on State St.
at four o'clock, shift change.
He forgets the way
things are now, after
layoffs, divorce.
Both grandfathers worked there,
most uncles, cousins who quit
high school for double pay
on holidays. I didn't know
this happened everywhere, then.
Whole chunks of corrugated metal
gone. The mill used to be
a solid mile long.
Driving past in late day,
light where light is not
supposed to be.
In the darkroom the double doors
develop, huge circled W rising
first from the tray, then reflections, then dust.
Look there, where no one goes
to work. Look at the character
of the sunlight, nobody
in its way. Grandfathers
underground at St. Rose's.
Uncles selling software.
Cousins in night school.
Sharon, you're a dot on the interstate,
a glance on the way to Youngstown, then Toledo,
Lansing, Ann Arbor, then another
country. Your best street is the one
between the stadium and the church.
Your voice was made from mourning doves.
I didn't know their names,
then - didn't even know
that what I heard were birds.
(Train whistles! Dusk!)
You carved summers
into hiding places for me.
Damp lawn, red garage,
I still can't get inside you.

What causes someone to have tooth decay?
Tooth decay is something that occurs when the waste products of the bacteria in our mouth cause acid erosion on the enamel. This acid waste breaks down the tooth enamel and dark holes appear(cavities). Another problem would be the transparency of the teeth and or chipping away of enamel. If you look under the light you might be able to see the tips of the teeth less dense than the root. You would be very surprised why most people develop tooth decay in the first place. So how does this bacteria thrive in our mouth in the first place?
The #1 factor that plays a HUGE part in tooth decay is the consumption of meat, dairy, processed, and cooked foods. We weren't designed to eat cooked food. Bacteria thrive in this acidic environment and produce waste products that eat away at the enamel. Cooked food doesn't have any cleaning properties to it. However, an apple has natural pectin that gently scrubs your teeth and whitens them, alkalizes and remineralizes the teeth. Also you can take the inside of a banana peel and rub it against your teeth for a few minutes everyday to make them white….amazing huh?
Look on the back of every tube and you'll see ingredients like glycerin, sodium lauryl sulfate, and fluoride. The glycerin that builds up around our enamel can prevent our body's natural way of remineralizing the teeth with minerals already present. Also, popular brands of toothpaste have highly hazardous amounts of fluoride that is harmful even if not swallowed. Excessive intake of fluoride during enamel development can lead to enamel fluorosis, a condition of the dental hard tissues in which the enamel covering of the teeth fails to crystallize properly, leading to defects that range from small markings to brown stains and surface pitting. Sodium lauryl sulfate is a harsh and abrasive detergent that is also used in toothpaste. Long term oral exposure of this chemical can lead to increased tumor growths.
To keep a healthy mouth you need to start with,
(1.) A diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables.
(2.) A soft bristle tooth brush or a miswak stick.
(3.) A natural toothpaste recipe like below without harsh ingredients.
(4.) Daily oil pulling with coconut oil to remove harmful bacteria and plaque.
This is the simple recipe I use :
*2 tbsp baking soda (scrubs away plaque)
*6 tbsp coconut oil (antibacterial and soothing for gums)
*3 tbsp calcium powder (remineralizing)
*3 tbsp stevia powder or xylitol (prevents cavities)
*few drops of peppermint oil (minty taste)
You don't need to use this everyday if already on a raw diet. All other days just use soft bristle brush with warm water. It is necessary to make sure your body contains the right ratio of minerals so that it keeps your teeth and bones strong, and free from decay. We need minerals like calcium, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, iron, magnesium ect. Eat at least one large salad a day of leafy greens or a green smoothie for your daily dose of minerals. If you already have tooth decay, keep citrus fruits to minimum and rinse thoroughly after eating.

CNET Top 5
The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus offer improved cameras over their predecessors -- but by how much? We take a closer look.
We compared the screens of the latest iPhones with Samsung's flagship Galaxy and crowned a winner.
After several promotions aimed at winning over new customers, the wireless carrier looks to reward its base.
Expected in November, the large-screened phone will offer a resolution of 2,560x1,440 pixels, according to 9to5Google.
An amusing Onion comparison of Apple's large phone with Samsung's is funny because it might just have a ring of truth.
Check out how the specs from Apple's latest iPhone 6 compares to those of its Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 flagship rivals.
All other new iPhones will pale in comparison to the Falcon luxury iPhone 6, a gold-plated beast with a massive rock attached to the back.
A new manufacturer has allegedly cooked up a battery thin enough for the body of the rumored biggest-screen-yet iPhone.
The rumored 5.5-inch iPhone 6 model isn't going to be easy to get out the door. At least not at first, a respected Apple analyst claims.
A survey insists that only a small proportion of Android users will switch to Apple's new phone. But could that change when they actually see the iPhone 6?

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - Five-time champion Serena Williams has won more matches at the Australian Open than any other woman, notching career win No. 61 on Friday as she advanced to the fourth round with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Daniela Hantuchova on another scorching day at Melbourne Park.
Williams converted her fourth match point on No. 31-seeded Hantuchova's serve. It was Williams' 24th consecutive win on the tour back to August, and improved her career record to 61-8 at the Australian Open.
She equaled Margaret Court's Australian Open mark of 60 wins with her second-round victory, and now has matched Lindsay Davenport's record of 69 main-draw matches here in the Open era.
The temperature hit 39 Celsius (102 Fahrenheit) during early play Friday and was expected to rise to 44 C (111 F).

so i'm desperately trying to get my print-selling idea off the ground.
these are the first 4 drawings i will get printed, because i like these ones.
my plan is to get 20 printed first (5 of each) just so i can work out logistics and shipping costs etc.
i plan to sell them from an etsy shop which i will link to when i have the prints to hand.
if it all works out, i will print more and different drawings.
proceeds are going towards getting a binder or something similar for someone who cannot get one any other way, so it's a good cause!
[EDIT: i've ordered them, waiting for delivery]
