Help for the Ultimate Multi-Console Gaming Setup?
Cliff posted more than 7 years ago | from the easy-gaming dept.119
punkrockgeekboy asks: "In our recreation room we have an NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, and a PS2. In the next few months I plan to replace the PS2 with a PS3, and also add a WII, and an Xbox360. Most of my consoles just gather dust because it's too much of a hassle to hook them up when I just want a quick Mario fix. How do people manage all of these console? In a perfect world there would be some nice, attractive rack system with 10 shelves that has clean wire management, and some sort of a built-in console switcher, so I can just power one on, hit the 'shelf 2' button, turn on my tv & surround sound, and start mashing buttons. Does anything like this exist?"

An elaborate crop circle appeared suddenly in a field in Salinas, California, prompting locals to wonder how it got there.
Security guards were stationed outside the property about six miles southeast of downtown.
They said they couldn't identify their client, only that the had been hired so the area wouldn't "become a circus," reported the Monterey Herald.
Two videos posted on YouTube show the circle, one from the air and one from the ground.
The Herald claims the circle is some kind of "hoax."
Julie Belanger, who shot the aerial video, told KSBW that "It was beautiful, quite beautiful."
"I believe it's possible that aliens exist, but I don't know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message," she said.

The Atlanta Braves drafted the maximum 40 players last week during the first-year player/amateur draft. Before I go any further, I want to give a big shout-out to our Fred Owens for excellent draft coverage: he definitely kept everyone up-to-date during the event. I was traveling and could not throw in my take – we'll do that now with the benefit of a few days' of hindsight. Thanks, Fred!
Review of the Prognostications
Going into this draft, I had consistently suggested that Atlanta's farm system was facing serious holes in the following positions:
- Left-handed pitching
- Catching
- Outfield
Given the apparent pitching depth available, I advocated that the team pursue a couple of the top lefty arms in the early rounds.
Nope. Didn't happen that way.
In fact, the first left-handed pitcher taken was not until the sixth round. That was Chris Diaz (it's not pronouced "Dye-as"), a six-foot college kid from the University of Miami. The next one didn't get picked until Round 26. This was Kyle Kinman, another college pitcher (Bellevue University in Washington state; 5'11", 185).
I suppose I shouldn't take it personally: nobody guessed Atlanta's picks in their mock drafts… as Fred mentioned, ESPN's Keith Law was close on Garret Fulencheck, but that was the extent of anyone's 'success' last week.
In terms of the other positions, another outfielders went in Round 6 (Keith Curcio of Florida Southern), and not again until Round 14 (Joe Daris of Azusa Pacific). Catching was not a feature of this draft, and the consensus best two players went very early in Round 1. The Braves then waited until Rounds 20, 24, and 31 to add catching. Two high school lefty pitchers were taken late (Rounds 33-34). I would be a little surprised if either signs, though one is from North Gwinnett high school (Tucker Baca, ranked 442nd – taken 973rd).
But I'm actually much more interested in the 'why' for picks that were made…
MotivationRound 1 – Braxton Davidson. The more I think about this, the more I continue to warm to this selection. Fred posted a video link of him (see that link above), and the swing is remarkable. A short, quick power stroke that's repeatable. Reports I've seen suggest that big power should develop along with consistent hitting. It's always hard to figure whether a batter will be a strikeout machine, but scouts believe Braxton should have solid plate discipline and a chance to hit .300 in the majors. Other sites – including this Phillies blog – were raving over Braxton… this one calling him the 'safest pick' in the draft. Not a typical statement for a high school hitter.
But why did the Braves pick a kid who projects to play first base? I believe it's because he could replace Justin Upton by 2016. While he may not have the raw power that Justin clearly wields, Braxton could be just as productive if he's more consistent. That would clearly be good to have in a lineup that is still averaging nearly a strikeout per inning this year.
Meanwhile, Jacob Gatewood was still on the board, a 6'5″ masher with consistent power who raised the possibility of having Ginacarlo Stanton-esque power at third base… if you can stand the strikeouts. And there's where I believe the philosophy is changing: Davidson doesn't project to be a high-strikeout guy. Gatewood (who fell to the Brewers with pick #41) may have a higher possible "ceiling", but his "floor" is also low. As in "can't reach the majors due to strikeouts" low.
By the time Freddie Freeman's contract expires (after 2021), Davidson will be 25 years old… and hopefully a major league regular. At that point, he could slide into first base and keep hitting. Sounds like a solid plan… and spoils the idea the Phils might have had in replacing Ryan Howard by 2017 (the Phillies, by the way, chose 2 excellent college pitchers in the first two rounds – can you guess their priorities?). So good on the Braves for taking a consistent hitter - that link above compared him to Matt Holliday – who could help build a better offense.
How soon could Davidson reach the majors? Given his advanced level of hitting, 2016 is not out of the question. 2015 may be an interesting year for him.
Round 2 – Garret Fulencheck. RHP, 6'4″/185. From a tiny high school in Howe, TX (population variously reported between 2,600 and 3,300). I believe this could be partly a case of Dr. James Andrews' influence. Fulencheck was not scouted heavily and he did not participate in all of the 'showcase' opportunities he had available … i.e., his avoided pitching "year-round", as most all of the other top hurlers do. I believe that this was a key part of Atlanta's choice: selecting a pitcher with great 'stuff' who hasn't already been overused/abused. He also might have been under-ranked as a result.
In terms of that 'stuff', you can't argue with a mid-90's sinking fastball. That will play anywhere. He also features a plus slider. The change-up supposedly needs some work, but he also rarely used it in high school, given the level of competition he faced. No worries there… he has time to figure that out.
So this selection seems to be a case of good work by the scouting department – to find a gem without taking the lazy way out by simply watching the traveling teams. Hopefully, the organization can start loosening their hold on the title of "most surgically-repaired team in the majors."
ETA: perhaps 2018. 2017 would be a "rush" to the majors.
Round 3 – Max Povse. UNC-Greensboro pitcher, 6'8″/190. The Dodgers drafted him in the 2011 41st round, which didn't motivate him to sign (clearly). Now in contrast to Fulencheck, Povse did participate in both Summer and Fall leagues from 2009-2011 apart from his high school events.
Povse may be something of a project for Atlanta. The Braves' scouts like his improving slider and his fastball – it has movement with speed (93-94 mph). It's interesting that he does not seem to use his full height to advantage, though, as his low arm slot brings the ball to the hitter out from something near the shortstop position. Povse is also relatively young (20) at this point. Given all that, the takeaway quote from the scouting department was "Player development can develop him now."
ETA: Barring arm injury – which has to be a concern – the earliest I'd expect him in the majors is 2017.
Other Notable Picks
- He's a definite worker: giving max effort to everything he does on the ballfield. Do the Braves need a second baseman? Not really, but I have to think this one was too tempting to ignore. We'll have to see if he signs, but I'd have to think Luke should consider how much further up the draft board he could go from here. Of the "genetics picks", Luke Dykstra is the most interesting. Round 7 picks are not made without thought. He comes in as a second baseman that BA.com ranked 110th overall, yet was still around for the 223rd pick.
- Jake Godfrey. Looks like early confusion about his position (due to the Braves taking multiple Godfrey's in Rounds 21/22) is now over. RHP, 6'3″/215, committed to LSU and ranked 130th, though taken 643rd. You don't go that late unless people think you won't sign, but I'd like to see Atlanta make a serious run to try, as he projects as a middle-of-the-rotation starter.
- The aforementioned Keith Curcio from Florida Southern. Played a lot at 3rd base, but he's a possible CF/leadoff/base-stealer threat. Did a lot of all that at Fla. Southern (hit .349 with 29 steals in 34 attempts/2013; .314 with 23/24 steals in 2014). Braves continuing to add some guys with speed (Jose Peraza, Kyle Wren, et al).
We'll Keep Notes From Here
It's a little pointless to pursue detailed bios on many of these kids until they are inked to contracts… from here the signees will be distributed to the Gulf Coast league and Danville Braves with a couple perhaps reaching Rome by the end of the Summer. I do hope, as they were scouting players, that the organization was taking a look at the workloads these pitchers (19 were selected) have endured as they've been growing up. Getting them early (8 from high school, 1 from a community college) can help establish control of their arm health earlier. It's difficult on all of them when a pitcher goes down – even the healthy ones, since others have to take up the innings slack. So keeping more of them out of the hospital is a big benefit.
We'll keep watch.

No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washingtonby Condoleezza Rice
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Harry Belafonte is not just one of the greatest entertainers of our time; he has led one of the great American lives of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Now, at last, this extraordinary icon tells us about it all--his poverty-ridden childhoodin Harlem and Jamaica; his meteoric rise to become one of the world's most popular singers, breaking down racial barriers that no one had broken before, achieving equal popularity with white and black audiences; his lifelong, passionate involvement at the heart of the civil rights movement and countless other political and social causes. Along the way he's befriended many beloved and important figures in both entertainment and politics--Paul Robeson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Sidney Poitier, John F. Kennedy, Marlon Brando, Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, Fidel Castro--and writes about them with the same exceptional candor and insight with which he reveals himself on every page.
As both an artist and an activist, Belafonte has touched the lives of countless men and women. With My Song, he has found yet another way to entertain and inspire us. It is an electrifying memoir from a remarkable man.

I finally read the entire New York Times endorsement editorial tonight.

Still, as someone who has been writing editorials for 20 years, and reading NY Times editorials even longer, I have to say: This is the most tortured, inelegant work I've seen out of that shop in a long time. Read more »

This transcript is from a PodTech.net podcast at:
Guest: Robbie Cape - Cozi
Host: John Ince - PodTech
John Ince - PodTech
Welcome to PodVentureZone, this is John Ince, your host. Our guest today on PodVentureZone is Robbie Cape, who is CEO and co-founder of Cozi. Welcome to PodVentureZone, Robbie.
Robbie Cape - Cozi
Thank you so much.
John Ince - PodTech
First of all, could you just share with us how you came up with the idea for Cozi?
Robbie Cape - Cozi
Well, it's interesting. Jan Miksovsky, my co-founder and I, actually didn't have an idea for Cozi when we got started, and I actually think that that's quite representative of the best way to build a technology company these days. Given that your primary resource is intellectual horsepower and just intellectual capital. We really started first with the decision that we wanted to build a company together. Jan and I didn't even necessarily know what area we wanted that company to be in. We were committed to this possibility that we could do magic together as a team. So that's really where we started back -- when we started to think about building a company together in the middle of 2004.
John Ince - PodTech
How did you narrow down the possibilities of what you guys wanted to do together?
Robbie Cape - Cozi
So, we started to talk that summer. I was at Microsoft, Jan had just left Microsoft, and we just started to look at trends, believe it or not. We looked at this very interesting trend and it probably was the kernel of the idea that formed, or a kernel of the vision that formed Cozi. We observed that there was this incredible movement of technology, from being focused in the office of the home, to beginning to move into all sorts of different areas of the home.
I always make this analogy that if you could somehow do a heat map of technology -- technology like process or power or memory or I/O or whatever, if you could somehow do a heat map of technology in the home over the last 10 or 15 years, you'd see a big red blip back 10 or 15 years ago in the home office; where people had their PC and their printer and their answering machine. Then you'd start seeing wireless telephones moving, they all had processors in them, and set-top boxes and game consoles moving into the living room. You'd start seeing red blips popping up in the living room, and then you'd start seeing a little bit in the kitchen and in the bedrooms, and you're basically just seeing -- and then you see broadband networks, wireless, deploy in the home, and then there's basically red everywhere, because now you have technology available to everyone in the home.
So we saw this incredible spread of technology from a hardware perspective into all of these different areas of the home. Yet, when we looked at that, we were amazed when we compared that movement to the sort of applications that were being built to leverage all of this technology. All we really saw was better TV watching experiences, with the set-top boxes, that better music listening experiences, also with set-top boxes, but also with things like the iPod, and of course better gaming experiences with things like the game consoles.
That's literally what we saw in terms of the applications that were built to really take advantage of this spread of technology throughout the home. We looked at each other and said, we can't believe that all of this technology, all of this hardware, all of this innovation around the spread of this -- people called the digital lifestyle, that all of that is happening simply to support a better TV watching, music listening, gaming experience.
If we look ahead 10 or 15 years, there's got to be more exciting things that people will be doing with these technologies, with these underline platforms. It was really with that that we decided that there was a place in the ecosystem, for a company that was focused on building applications that would be used by members of a household, throughout their household, in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bedroom, in the den.
That's really -- it was based on that thinking that I decided to leave Microsoft in January 2005. Then we went out and got some seat financing. We were going to focus on building the application of the future for the digital connected home, and it wasn't going to be about home automation. So that's really where we started, but we had no idea at that time, we didn't know that we were going to build PC based software. We didn't know that we'd build Web based software. We didn't know that we would build software for families. We didn't know that we were going to focus on calendaring and shopping lists and family management software.
We didn't know any of that. We discovered all of those things as we worked through the first six months of talking to families and doing what we call mom parties, just a lot of grass root research. Hearing what people needed in their homes, it was really driven by the need and by the customer, that we ultimately came to the conclusion that Cozi Central was going to be the first product, and that as a company, Cozi was really going to focus on making it easier for busier than busy parents to manage the chaos of their family life.
John Ince - PodTech
How did you come up with the name Cozi?
Robbie Cape - Cozi
So that's also an interesting story. We actually founded the company under a different name, and then when we brought on Maya Babish, who was our VP of Marketing. Her first job was to rename the company, because we always knew that Kasayka wasn't going to be the name that we went to market with. We looked at hundreds of different names, and of course you know that these days finding a great name is exceptionally difficult, because you're trying to find a URL that isn't taken. Cozi was a name, I actually hated the name at first, it felt just too fuzzy and warm, but it captured so perfectly the relationship that we wanted our software to have with the family. Software is this cold, untouchable and yet we were going to building software that we wanted to be warm and inviting and friendly and comfortable to the family. Cozi represented all of those feelings of comfort and the degree to which we wanted our software to become a part of the family.
So it ended up being perfect, and I've to say that I absolutely love the name. I couldn't be happier. We ended up having to actually buy the URL from a husband and wife that owned it in Vermont. I think that it was just a great, great choice.
John Ince - PodTech
Did you write a business plan?
Robbie Cape - Cozi
Probably not in the most traditional sense of the word. We spent a lot of time thinking and talking to people and getting feedback from advisors and talking to customers. Then ultimately when it came time to go out and begin fund raising, we actually didn't even have a document, at that time when we started, that captured all of our thinking. I'd say probably two to three weeks into the fund raising process, we finally had a few potential investors express an interest in an executive summary of our plan.
So only at that point did we actually sit down and put down in writing what we had been talking to people about for months. So at that point we put together a six page summary that covered all the basic elements that you'd expect a "business plan to summary". It was really just an executive summary of what we were planning to do with the business over the course of the next five years.

This concludes Part 2 of the interview with Robbie Cape, co-founder and CEO of Cozi.

Fire Retardants Emerge as Contaminants of Concern
An Assessment of PBDEs in Sediments and Bivalves of the U.S. Coastal Zone
PBDEs (news story and podcast)
As part of NOAA's Mussel Watch Program, PBDEs are one of 150 different contaminants that are continually monitored by periodically sampling bivalves and sediment at 300 coastal sites around the nation.
Molecular structure of DecaBDE. PBDEs suppress the spread of fires by releasing bromine atoms (Br) when heated, creating a thin layer of bromine gas on the surface of PBDE-treated items that keeps oxygen away.
PBDEs are found in a variety of consumer products, from TVs and toasters to mattresses and drapes. These chemicals are intended to slow the rate of ignition and fire growth, allowing people more time to escape from a fire or extinguish it. In recent years, PBDEs have generated international concern over their widespread distribution in the environment, their potential to bioaccumulate in humans and wildlife, and their suspected adverse human health effects. In the U.S., PBDE levels in people are generally 10–100 times higher than levels measured in people in Europe and Asia.
Production of PBDEs in the U.S. began in the 1970s and peaked in the late 1990s. Flame retardant manufacturers in the U.S. voluntarily stopped producing the PentaBDE (used in furniture foam) and OctaBDE (used in electronic products) varieties of PBDEs in 2004 and have begun producing alternative flame retardants; however, DecaBDE continues to be produced and used in the U.S., primarily in television casings. DecaBDE is classified as a possible human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

state, whereas they share the federal fiscal benefits of immigration with taxpayers throughout the nation. This substantial discrepancy arises in large part because states and localities fund education and other youth services, whereas the federal government funds Social Security, Medicare, and other services for the elderly. (See Goldstein, 1995, for a discussion of interstate transfers arising from differences in age distribution and the funding of education and social security.)
It is sometimes suggested that the federal government should address these interstate discrepancies through a national policy of compensation to state and local governments. According to these calculations, the federal government realized a net fiscal gain of about $51 billion in 1994 from the presence of immigrants and their concurrent descendants. At the same time, there were net fiscal costs of $27 billion per year incurred in total by a subset of state and local governments. The federal government could compensate states and localities for the $27 billion net cost, leaving the remaining $24 billion of federal net gain as a benefit to be shared equally among all U.S. taxpayers. 9 There are many complicated issues regarding such a policy of federal compensation. The presence of immigrants and their descendants may confer nonfiscal economic net gains to the residents of states and local areas, for example through cleaper goods and services or through higher wages of skilled workers and higher returns to nonlabor factors. The federal government does not generally compensate states for other discrepancies; what is special about the case of immigration? We do not consider these and other issues here.
Table 5-5 shows comparable measures of fiscal impact for the different demographic formulations of the cross-sectional conceptual experiment. In the most restrictive definition, only immigrants themselves are counted. Here we find that immigrants pay about $32 billion more in taxes overall than they generate in costs. This positive balance reflects the age distribution of the immigrant population: There are relatively many working-age people and relatively few children and elderly.
Two other levels of compensation are possible, but neither is immigrant neutral. In one alternative, taxpayers in high-immigration states could be compensated so that they are not bearing any net increased fiscal burden of immigration. That is, state and local costs would just offset their reduction in national taxes ($4 billion annually to high-immigration states). In this scenario, states would compete to discourage immigration. Under another alternative, taxpayers would receive a share of the national benefits of immigration ($51 billion) in direct proportion to the number of immigrants in their state. Under this scenario, states would compete for immigrants. States are indifferent to immigrants only in the basic compensation scenario in which states are compensated for the full state and local costs of immigrants, and the remaining national benefits are shared equally among all states.

COUPLEDOM: New Parents Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose Do Some Shopping In Beverly Hills
Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa took some time away from Baby Bash to do some shopping at Tom Ford in Beverly Hills. Check out the pics inside....
Rocking a pink dress, pink shades and a black Chanel purse, Amber Rose trekked her post-baby bod over to Tom Ford with her fiancee' Wiz Khalifa yesterday afternoon. And since Amber posted pics of herself trying on wedding dresses recently, could they be shopping for groom threads for Wiz?
The twosome hopped out Wiz's baby blue Porshe and hit up the store through the back entrance.
Amber recently told E! News about working with celeb trainer Jeanette Jenkins, 'I have a really good personal trainer. Her name is Jeanette Jenkins. Yeah, I work out every day. It's hard to get off baby weight. It's a different kind of weight because for nine months you stretch your stomach out and then it's hard to get that back. I'm working on it. I lost like thirty-some pounds already.'
Lookin' good...
Amber posted pics of baby Sebastian hanging out with daddy Wiz, and also her own dad.
She said, "#tbt (3 months ago) my Dad holding his grandson Sebastian #Love." Sweet!

Earlier today, it was reported by NFL insider Jay Glazer of Fox Sports that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder could be out of a job.
After throwing four turnovers in a loss to the Detroit Lions last weekend, Ponder's leash on the starting job is quite short – more than anybody realizes, this according to Glazer.
Knowing that, Ponder seems intent to have a productive day on the field, at least so far.
After a few beautiful throws (shocking, coming from Ponder, I know), the Vikings quarterback capped off his first half with an impressive trucking of Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs.
As Ponder was running for a first down, the powerful Briggs began to lick his chops at the idea of hitting an incoming quarterback. Only problem? I think Ponder had more of a desire to hit Briggs than Briggs did Ponder.
Powering up his best real-life Madden truck stick, Ponder lowered his elbow and sent Briggs flying to the sideline while Ponder looks relatively unfazed by the whole event.

Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)
Total Goldblum Rating: 9/10
Jeff Goldblum, a furry blue alien, crashes his spaceship into Geena Davis' Valley pool and then, after a shave, seduces her.
Goldblum Presence: 7/10
The aliens don't land til about thirty minutes in, so there are thirty Goldblum-free minutes. But after that, it's all Goldblum, all the time.
Goldbum Hotness: 11/10
Julie Brown introduces gratuitously shirtless Jeff Goldblum with "This is…the ultimate," and indeed it is. In addition to being the obvious dreamboat of the movie, he is also blessed with a "love touch," which he uses to give Geena Davis a three-hour hallucinogenic orgasm. (He also does this to her ex-fiance, two cops, and a cat.)
Goldbluminess: 8/10
He can't rapid monologue because all of his English was learned from the television ("Are we limp and hard to manage?"), but he makes up for it in other ways: an extremely sexy flippance, being taller than glamazon Geena Davis, a lengthy jazz piano performance, and, finally, the new standard for crazy eyes.

May 31st 2012
So the concert had finished and Kate's mom was driving us home but I had to pee so we stopped at Wendy's….
OK SO I WAS WAITING IN LINE TO ORDER WENDY'S WHEN MONI ERIN AND KATE WERE IN LINE FOR TIM HORTONS. I WAS REALLY MAD BECAUSE THE SERVICE WAS TAKING SO LONG AND THEY WERE IGNORING ME THEN I FINALLY ORDERED. And I look back and behind me was LIAMFUCKINGPAYNE. Followed by the rest of ONE DIRECTION AND THEIR CREW. Then the lady was like the chicken will take about 3 minutes and I was "yeah ok that's fine!!!!" Ok so Liam was there and then Niall and Harry and the lady was like "whos next?" and Liam didn't know what to get so Harry raised his hand and was like, I'll go! And he ordered chicken strips and an Oreo frosty and then Liam went up to order and he got 20 piece chicken nuggets. AND MONI WALKED OVER SHAKING telling me to take a bite of her bagel and niall was like "whats that?!" and moni was like "maple cinnamon" and niall was like "whatever it is it looks good" And then I turned to Niall and noticed a couple fans who had followed them there and was like "do girls follow you everywhere?" and he was like "meh" so I mocked him and went "meh" back and we did that one more time before he asked "were you at the concert tonight?" and I was like embarrassed and blushed and was like "yeah…" an he was like "how'd ya like it?" and I was like "it was really good, you guys did really well" and niall went "glad ya liked it" and then Niall went "I JUST WANT A BACONATOR!!!" and then Paul shoved him off of the ledge and then I turned to Harry and was like "does this happen a lot, like girls following you?" and was like "kind of, y'know" and then I was like "so where next?" and he was like "back in the tour bus?" and I was like "so your not going back to the hotel?" and he was like "nope driving straight to the next place" and did a little hand motion to show that and then he turned to paul and was like "im SO tired" and on the inside i was like "MY POOR BABY" And yeah and he kept like pulling and stretching at his loose tank top so I saw his nipples and and looked to see if he had the "a" tattoo which he didn't. And THAT was when i noticed zayn wasnt there and was like "missing a band member eh?" an was like "yeah…" and he just jept saying how tired he was i felt SO bad for him. And he had on a beanie and Niall had on his blue jays hat. And liam was wearing a cream sweater and beige jeans and louis was wearing pj pants and a niagara falls sweater. And ok so my food finally came so I left and we just smiled at each other And then I was like NO SELENA GO BACK. So I went back and was like "Harry, could I have a hug?" and he was like "sure" and gave me a shitty ass one armed turned two arm hug and then I walked back to the table where Erin Kate and Monica were sitting and I was like "DID I JUST GET A SHITTY ONE ARM HUG FROM HARRY STYLES?!" and Preston was like "yes, that just happened, I saw it." and then I talked to Preston about his accent and where in Ireland he's from. And then I was like no ok go back Selena, and so I was like I NEED SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE. And then I went back up and was awkwardly standing behind Liam Harry and Louis and Eleanor and I was like to this one guy on the their crew "I'm just here for sweet and sour sauce aha" and he was like to the lady "can she have a sweet and sour?" and he was like "you better go up if you want one." and then I was standing between Harry and Louis with eleanor and then I was like "could I have a couple sweet and sour sauces?" and Louis turned to me and opened his arms like "of course you can love" and smiled at me and gave a little click with his tongue and I went back to the table and we said bye to Niall and Liam and Louis an eleanor and MONICA GAVE ELEANOR HER HAIR ELASTIC after Louis asked for a "hair bubble" and eleanor was so cute and her voice and I just love her omg. And then we left and Paul held the door open for me and we asked him for a pic (security asked us to respect the boys privacy and not ask for pictures or take videos WHICH OF COURSE I DID *mostly because my phone was dead) AND WE GOT A PIC WITH PAUL AND YA WE SPENT THE ENTIRE RIDE HOME SCREAMING AND CALLING EVERYONE WE KNOW. Ok may 31st 2012 will go down in history
A lot of that probably didn't make sense because I was so happy and excited writing that so if you have any questions about the boys or anything just message me and I'll be more descriptive aha!
And that is how I met one direction. The end.
awe i've never seen the full video!
Singing 'happy birthday' to Paul (x)
Paul was trying to take a picture of him so Harry kept turning his back on him x

The documents were just made public ... following a plea deal Sparks made with the L.A. County District Attorney in which he received 270 days in jail after pleading no contest to having unlawful sex with a minor under 16.
The allegations in the documents are extremely disturbing -- with the victim telling police Sparks forced her to have sex with him after driving her home from a dance class he had taught in 1994 when she was only 12 years old.
According to the docs, the victim claims Sparks took her to HIS home where he started to "make out" with her ... and then he "rolled on top of her and pinned her beneath him."
The docs explain, "The victim told him she was a virgin and not ready for intercourse" but Sparks "ignored her pleas and penetrated her vagina for several minutes. He then drove her home."
According to the docs, investigators found "at least six other victims, whom between the ages of 12-17, were also abused by [Sparks]." No further details about the other alleged victims are included in the docs.
Sparks is expected to begin his sentence sometime in the next year.
270 days for child rape???
So he raped women and kids and he's only getting 270 days in jail? WTF?
I KNEW there was something about this guy I didn't like. Eww, just EWWW!!
Less than a year for raping and molesting 7 girls? Really? WTF is wrong with this DA?
YOU FILTHY PIG! You and all like you including the SOBs who abused me can go STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!!
This is why there are so many child molesters. 270 days, and oh, by the way, you can wait till next year to serve it. How many other children is he going to hurt!!!
270 days for multiple forcible child rapes? How'd he get that deal? I really don't get that one. I'd think 5 years would be an outstanding deal for that. I assume that the statue of limitations ran out on the other girls.
Might as well hang up what career he had. Karma. Gotta love it. I hope the girls are not ruined in any way for what this s***bag did to them.
wow, 270 days in jail. Criminals get off so easy there. Most guys would get 15 - 25 years. Just be famous and you are free.
Less than a year in jail????
This is what happens when an original man of the earth is subjected to white people's culture.
He's sick and men in prison will show him what it feels like. He's going to have a lot of boyfriends.
Are you kidding me? Less then a year for raping a child? How proud the liberals controlling ca must be of their legal system. Glad I got the hell out of there while I could.
ugh makes me sick to my stomach :(
Proving that all peewees aren't homo... How many young lives has he ruined?

Photo of the Week: Diversifying Her Farm
April 15, 2014
With TechnoServe's assistance, Cándida Busto and other cocoa farmers in Nicaragua are growing better quality cocoa while integrating fruit trees into their farms for additional income.
Cocoa was an inheritance for Cándida Busto – her parents left her about 20 cocoa trees on their farm in southern Nicaragua. With support from the PIMCO Foundation, TechnoServe is working with Cándida and other local farmers to improve the quality of their cocoa and sell their beans in specialty markets.
Cándida has adopted a new production system to grow plantains, avocado and coconut together with her cocoa. She has more than doubled her income from fruit, and she and her fellow producers are developing a business plan to establish a collection and processing center for their cocoa.

God you smell good.
As the thought skitters across my mind, my mouth is already watering. I'm not sure if I want it slow or if I want this fast but I do know that I want you now. The anticipation makes me desperate as I fumble trying to unwrap you as fast as I can. Your scent gets stronger, deeper, as more of you is revealed. I don't know if I want to lick you or bite you first…
Gonna hook up some dinner now.

hey-listen replied to your post: How to embarrass yourself/ look like a creeper.
Shoulda just said, "You used to come here a lot :3" He sounds cute. Good luck, gurl! ;D
I'm SPED, Kayla. lol That's what I was trying to say it just didnt come out. -.-'
Today, I embarrassed myself.
There's this really cute customer who comes in to my job and I always always try and run into him. Well, today the Lord's light shown on me and he just casually came into my checkout line. A little back story- the last time I saw him a few months ago his hair was a good 4 inches long and fro-like. I haven't seen him for about 2 or 3 months so I figured he'd transferred schools during the semester. Anyhoo! When I saw him today his hair was really short. He looked goood.
Me: "Hey, did you find everything?"
Him: "Yeah thank you"
"When did you cut your hair?"
"How did you know I cut my hair?"
"Because… you… shop here… and I…"
awkward pause, smile, laugh, blush 4x combo
"Oh, well I cut it when I went to India."
We continued talking but thats not important WHATS IMPORTANT IS I LOOKED LIKE A STALKER PEOPLE! A STALKER!! IM NOT A STALKER GUYS.
Aside from my manic girl side freaking the freak out. I'm pretty sure he didnt really care, he was just surprised because he didnt remember me working there(ah, what a sad realization).
Also, he's been to India guys. Dude is well-traveled. Also, I made him laugh.

Some short video whereby I was turning the coin thing.
Soooo, day 2 is coming to an end! Searched for a dimsum place in the morning, wanted to go to a speciality store which yiqun recommended me, but it only opens at 10am -.-. So went to a nearby restaurant instead, place full of old men, think its kind of typical in hongkong. Dim Sum is indeed Better than Singapore's one.
Went to ocean park after breakfast, took an hour or so to reach there, took only 4 rides that seemed exciting, but it wasnt. Their rides ain't good at all. Neither is ocean park, but it's just an experience. Reached there about 10am, left at 330pm! Walking was what we spent most at ocean park. Totally not worth it.
Took a train down to mong kok for more shopping! This time round we went argyle centre, awesome to the max! It's like bugis level 2. The shoes are pretty costly. It's cheaper in Singapore, but the clothings here are cheaper! Bought quite a few pieces and a bag which i was physco-ed by the shop owner to buy which cost the most. BUDGET DEFICIT :( spent approx 400sgd for just 2 days. Including meals, shopping and sightseeing. GAH! Hope the remaining amount of money is enough for me to spent!!
Right, I'd Better sleep now! Super tired. Nights all! :).

Pets Or Livestock? A Moral Divide Over Horse Slaughter by Frank Morris (NPR's The Salt)*
*I was not hired by NPR, just wanted to do it
Sketch that turned into something more than a sketch…cause that's how things go sometimes. Character from the upcoming personal thingy I'm working on.
The Hair Up There
Personally a fan of the bottom far left do (The Jane Fonda mullet).
Neil Gaiman!
About a month ago, my friend and I got to see a one Neil Gaiman (Mister Gaiman if you're nasty) speak while he was touring in promotion for The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Aside from a love of his writing, I just always got this feeling from his speeches and stories that he is this gigantic cheerleader for creativity. Though maybe it's not just creativity, maybe it's more like doing the best at whatever it might be that you do.
Much to my detriment, I've never been one to geek out loud (geek out + out loud, use it), so the weekend before I decided to change that. I went quickly to work on a little illustration to give to Neil during the signing. His response?
"That's my hair!"
- Neil Gaiman
I got The Ocean at the End of the Lane and The Sandman: The Dream Hunters signed. Yoshitaka Amano…I mean come on, those illustrations? So effin' gorgeous.
Even though we were some of the last rows on the ground floor to get through the signing, there was an entire mezzanine of people waiting to be signed, and this was at 1 AM. How that man and his crew had the strength to get through all of the audience…I will never know. But, I do know that they were all really cool and Neil had them hand out some fruit platters to everyone patiently waiting. Who does that? Neil Fucking Gaiman does (not to be confused with Amanda Fucking Palmer).
All and all, had an amazing time and got some burgers from In-n-Out after.
A slight break from the Serpent's stuff. Weird stuffed animal heads at the top and a bird at the bottom. I think the pig/dog tonguey guy was a post viewing of "The Thing" creation.
Some more sketches for the project. Refreshing as always. Decided not to hold my sketch book sacred anymore (moleskines…great gifts, terribly expensive). I noticed if I care too much, then I get picky on drawing, which is terrible for a sketch book. Drew over the arrows I was working out for that Link illustration I did a while ago. Hey kids, not you can learn a little about Italian director, Luchino Visconti! Pairs well with amaretto.
One more related sketch to come this week.
So these are a little old- but looking through my sketch book, I thought it'd be fun to put these up. Look at all the fun we're having putting these up!
Last year, I went to a town hall meeting with my girlfriend, who needed to go for a class. It was…interesting. There was a family dressed in their Sunday best that came just to thank the city council for doing their job. At least, that's what I gathered from it. The meeting was definitely not lacking in characters.
So instead of hogging all the sketchy goodness to myself, I thought it probably nice to actually share* and update my blog.
I think this moleskine was a present (cause they sure ain't cheap), and I sketched in it for a hot minute about a year ago and honestly, have been pretty horrible about sketching except for working out ideas, but nothing for fun like this. It felt so fresh to not be constrained to "bigger" ideas or for a specific purpose. Instead of a means to an end, it was just a means. Though, these are very very much connected to the new Serpent's Lust send-out project I've been working on.
Figuring out a balance between bigger projects and simple fun projects, and in a way, just sketching has been a fun project. This stuff just reminded me why I love drawing and storytelling.
More sketches to come this week and the big project coming soon too! Excitement!
*special thanks to Barney for that life lesson.
The last couple of days have been interesting. Moving forward and stepping back…though, maybe it's more like side stepping actually.
I've been secretly working on what I keep calling "send outs". I've been saying it so much that I'm starting to hate that word. It's just so…formless. Like an amorphous blob of an idea. I think of words like "blech" and "glurg" when I think about it. Like saying, "I'm going to elevate my heart rate", but never getting more specific than that when you're really going to go running. Forgive the exercising analogy. In reality, I've been working on a small booklet, closer to a story book than a zine or a comic or whatever is hip these days. It will be a book of words and images that retells A Serpents Lust by Ueda Akinari.
Yesterday, I compiled my rough images into InDesign to create a faux dummy. A dummy of a dummy? Would that make the dummy brilliant? Annnnd here's a transition sentence. Each image on its own at the time was kind of interesting to me (some more than other). Once they were compiled, I took that step to the side to see the path I was headed. It sucked. OK, well that's a bit over the top, but it just didn't do it for me, and if I wasn't going to like it, how could I expect anyone else to like it? I got out my art school sword (yes, you get a sword if you go to a design school, something they don't tell you) and just poked holes in the armor. When it's easy and you can damage a piece or project within the first 5 minutes, you know you're in trouble.
As I've learned, trouble is good. That means I'm paying enough attention to whatever it is. Or maybe it's that I care enough. I'll leave the profound realizations for a memoir, all I know is that it's good. I was left with asking the big question: "why?" What were the choices I was making and why? Sidestepping the project, I could actually see the line I was stumbling around, and failing the sobriety test of why I was telling the story. So, faithful reader, it's back to it again. I've got a great feeling about this booklet, and quite honestly, this stuff would be really boring if I got it right every time, all the time.
Special thanks to my girlfriend for letting me give her the, "this is why it sucks" presentation and giving me feedback.

Former WWE diva Maryse recently posted a picture on Twitter of herself getting ready for a date with the Miz, her fiancee.
Maryse and Kelly Kelly met up recently at a convention in Pittsburgh, where the two former WWE divas goofed around for a picture to post on Twitter.
Dolph Ziggler, Maryse Ouellet, Miz, John Morrison and several other people partied together on Halloween.
"It's a lot of DDP Yoga and gym work and eating right and staying in shape. My mind has also been right for the last five-and-a-half years being clean and sober from drugs and alcohol. So I think all those things played a big factor in this. Being able to do stuff that I've never done and wanting to try new things and having the young talent that's actually hungry and help me get through that and make it look good. I've got some new moves in my arsenal, and the people love it. This new attitude and new Goldust they've never seen with new face paint. I couldn't have asked for anything. This run has been great."
- Goldust crediting Diamond Dallas Page and sobriety
Kharma has been focusing much more on her health than she has at any point during her professional wrestling career, as the former TNA knockout is now doing the yoga program created by Diamond Dallas Page. She has lost a considerable amount of weight since leaving WWE.
Since his wedding to Maryse Ouellet is taking place later on this month, there is a very good chance that the current story line for the Miz is a way to write him off of television. Though he hasn't been penciled in for a match at Wrestlemania 30 yet, he's expected to return by then.
Miz and Maryse Ouellet are really trying to build a life together. Aside from getting married in the Bahamas in February, the couple also has been looking for a house to purchase. Since Miz has been on the road with WWE, his fiancee has been in charge of finding them a new home.

Asta Fdg Inc (NASDAQ:ASFI)
Acquires, manages, collects and services portfolios of consumer receivables. These portfolios generally consist of one or more of the following types of consumer receivables: charged-off receivables; semi-performing receivables and performing receivables.
Asta Funding is a very unique company that is in the business of buying bad debt from credit card companies and then sending their team of lawyers out to collect on that acquired debt. The secret to their success is that they are able to buy that debt for about 10 cents on the dollar. So if they collect lets say 15 cents on a credit default, that accounts to a 50% profit because they only paid 10 cents for the rights to that debt. The company is in the right business at the right time as people are defaulting on their credit cards in droves. This should create tremendous opportunities for the company going forward.
As an investor you should closely look at this future winner in that it has absolutely been trashed by Wall Street and since it is classified as a Finance and Loan company it has been brought down with the rest of the financial industry. But is that justified? Absolutely not! The reason is that we have done our analysis of the stock and find it to have a FireRock Element (Main Street Valuation per share) of $48.35 while the stock trades at around $16. This is a stock that has reached what Sir John Templeton had once quoted "The point of maximum pessimism". The best time to buy stocks is when everyone hates them. Asta Funding is such a stock. The reason that people are not buying it is because they have never heard of it and it never hits the top tier of news coverage.
Here is a stock that once traded at $46 and now trades at $16. Because no one knows about it that gives us the advantage and anytime you have the advantage in the stock market you win big most of the time. Asta Funding is expected to earn $3.68 ( TTM) a share and has a PE of 4. A few years ago I created a ratio called the Psaras Ratio which simplified is PE/ROE. When the result is less than 1.0 the stock is undervalued and when it is over 1.0 it is overvalued. The farther it goes below 1.0 the more attractive the stock becomes. I have backtested this ratio for over a decade with impressive results, but I won't bore you with the details right now.
Asta Funding has a PE of 4.45 and a Return on Equity of 24.34% so if we do the math = 4.45/24.34 we get .18 as a result for the Psaras Ratio. To show you what a bargain we have with Asta Funding let us compare that number to a Psaras Ratio result of a stock that Warren Buffett recently purchaed called GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). If we do the math for GSK we get a PE of 11.61 divided by a ROE of 52.42% = 11.61/52.42 = .22. So in purchasing ASFI at these levels you are getting a valuation less than Warren Buffett got in buying GSK for Berkshire Hathaways portfolio.
Do you have any information on how successful(expressed as a percentage) ASFI is at collecting on the debt they buy? How did they fair during the recession at the turn of the millenium or back in 1991?

`American Idol' winner shocks judges
Adam Lambert (left) and Kris Allen (right), with host Ryan Seacrest (center) during American Idol on Wednesday May 20, 2009 in Los Angeles. (AP Photo/
In the most stunning upset in the eight year history of American Idol, folksy singer Kris Allen is the new "American Idol." The four music celebrity judges highly favored Adam Lambert and had expected Danny Gokey, in the final three the week before, to be in the finals with Adam Lambert instead of dark horse Kris Allen.
Performing artist Paula Abdul who was one of the four American Idol judges selecting the contestants recently appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel TV show and said she expected Adam Lambert would win.
Adam Lambert, singer and actor from Los Angeles, California, finishes American Idol as the runner-up.
Head Idol judge Simon Cowell made no secret that he was rooting for Adam Lambert, also.
However, in the end the "'tween" vote of American children between the ages of 9 and 12 years-old led the demographic of voters who cast almost 100 million votes by phone, a world's record, and voted for the heart-throb Kris Allen over the theatrical sensation Adam Lambert.
Host Ryan Seacrest announced the decision on Wednesday's live finale which can be seen on Sophon Cable on MNET Series channel.
Kris Allen from Conway,
When presented with the American Idol trophy, Allen said, "This should have been Adam's."
The 23-year-old Allen, a college student from Conway, Arkansas, bested the 27-year-old Lambert, a theater actor from San Diego.
The two-hour finale ran six minutes long due to some surprises that can only happen on live TV and included performances by the Black Eyed Peas, Cyndi Lauper, Carlos Santana and Rod Stewart. Lambert performed with Kiss and Allen dueted with Keith Urban.
"Bikini Girl," an Idol contestant who made it to the final 32, got a bit of payback from judge Kara Dioguardi who upstaged her by jumping on stage and taking over the song Bikini Girl was singing and then opening her own dress to reveal an even more incredible body that the younger contestant.
Danny Gokey is a church music director from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the second runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol.
Two months prior during the judges comments Bikini Girl, named so because she auditioned in a skimpy bikini, said she could sing better than Kara Dioguardi. She was wrong.
Before the announcement, the two finalists sang together on "We are the Champions" with the surviving members of Queen.
Allen gets a record contract along with his "American Idol" title. But insiders say Adam Lambert will be a recording a performing superstar with a record contract assured.
