Publishing has evolved drastically over the past two decades, proving to be one of the industries most disrupted by the advent and proliferation of the internet. Ever-lower barriers to entry for new participants have led to more competition for publishers, as well as more noise for consumers. The result has been a broad decline in publishing revenue and a user experience dominated by increasingly invasive advertising. Bitcoin, with it's unique applicability for micropayments, may eventually be able to conquer this problem.
Historically, revenue generation for publications was straightforward. Publishers would sell individual copies or subscriptions to customers, as well as space in the publication to advertisers. With print media being near-impossible to directly duplicate and/or repackage in a timely manner, content producers were able to build strong relationships with customers, forced to deliver value for the price paid or risk losing the customer forever.
And then the internet was invented. With consumers now having instant access to content from around the world, a new paradigm of media was born. Instead of buying a full paper, individual articles became the more efficient and widely-preferred method of consumption. Instead of seeking trusted brands, readers wound up reading pieces that were easiest to come across – first in search engines and eventually via social media.
While most would agree the exponential increase in information availability has been tremendously positive on the whole, the breaking of age-old relationships between customers and publishers has had some less-frequently acknowledged impacts. Publishing revenue has fallen dramatically, with newspaper advertising revenues falling 50% in just the last four years. Content providers have found themselves in a race to the bottom, doing whatever necessary for page views and the related ad revenue, competing with entrants who can now publish at almost no cost in an attempt to take whatever piece possible of the total advertising market share.
With advertising being a primary revenue driver, views by whatever means possible become the dominant goal, rather than creating content of high quality to build a strong enough brand to charge consumers. Sites like The Huffington Post, bought by AOL in 2011 for $315 million, have come to dominate this market. HuffPo publishes a new article every 58 seconds, or between 1,600 and 2,000 per day, by contracting with a network of freelancers in an attempt to maintain relevance in search algorithms.
While HuffPo arguably executes on this model the best, the success of this model has led to the creation of content farms, or producers of quick, generally low quality content, often directly taking from other sources in an attempt to drive traffic and generate ad revenue.
But, even ad revenue from page views is becoming less profitable. Ad-blocking users now average some 10% of total web traffic, meaning content providers aren't even being paid for an increasing share of their views. On top of that, average Cost-per-Click (CPC) and Cost-per-Mille (CPM) have fallen 33% and 53% since 2010, respectively – largely a result of the growth of real time bidding.
Perhaps the most troubling to learn about for the uninitiated is the meteoric rise of native advertising, or placing advertisements in places where consumers are already looking. In the world of publishing this often means branded content, or pieces that are explicitly paid for by advertisers but look and feel like any other article. This trend is growing dramatically, with 72% of corporate marketers saying they believe branded content is more effective than traditional advertising.
Naturally, as this market continues to grow, it will inevitably lead to distrust as readers have to question what the incentive is behind everything they read: is it to provide the best, most thoroughly researched content or to generate positive views for an advertiser? For example, the research piece you're reading right now will go on to list a number of bitcoin companies in a later section. As far as you know, one or more of them may have paid us for inclusion, skewing our tone and your perception of their brand (this is of course not the case; TGB has never and will never produce paid content).
The problem most publications face is two-fold. First, most simply don't have the brand equity to support paid subscriptions or readership. Producing content that has monetary value in itself means the company must have expertise in the subject matter beyond that of their readership, enabling them to provide insight and analysis that cannot be found or is merely replicated elsewhere. This is likely why The New York Times was able to grow by 40% year-over-year in the first half of 2013 to 738,000 subscribers and paywall revenue of $150 million, while the San Francisco Chronicle recently felt compelled to remove theirs altogether.
Second, even if a brand has the respect of its audience, facilitating paid a-la-carte views to match the trend in consumer behavior simply hasn't been possible. Established companies like the New York Times or Wall Street Journal can produce enough quality content to support their $25 per month price, but smaller companies would run into disproportionately high credit card fees charging just a few dollars per month. Moreover, the notion of charging just a few cents for an individual article would be simply unfathomable with average credit card fees of 30 cents plus 3% of the sale price.
So what then is a publisher to do if they have strong brand equity and loyal readership, but don't have the scale of the New York Times? What if they want to avoid tarnishing the user experience with invasive advertisements, as has been proven true by the increased adoption of adblock?
In today's world, quick payments online with little or no cost are readily available via bitcoin. Recognizing the potential this provides are a number of entrepreneurs looking to capitalize on what could be a game-changing industry update.
Micropayments of just a few cents per piece would offer greater incentive to consistently produce content worth paying for rather than optimize for headlines and SEO, since the probability of someone returning to a site where they didn't receive ample value is low. Micropayments also reduce or eliminate the incentive to subvert the paywall, since the time to find a way around it may actually be economically more expensive than the few cents spent on the article. Enabling this are two companies that recently launched, offering bitcoin paywalls to solve this problem.
The company synced its product with Coinbase for seamless transaction processing and can generate a unique payment address for use with alternative wallets as well. If the user has a BitWall account, they can even set up trusted domains with which they automatically pay for content as its viewed to create a completely frictionless experience. BitWall is currently free to merchants for the first 1,000 transactions and costs 20% of revenue thereafter.
CEO Nic Meliones informed us BitWall is targeting written publishing first, but sees potential for nearly any form of media, including video and music. For an example implementation of BitWall, see Boost co-founder Brayton Williams' blog.
Taking an alternative route is BitMonet, founded by Ankur Nandwani, who was Meliones' partner on BitWall at the Hackathon before the two split ways. BitMonet elected to use the BitPay API and also offers a series of payment options. Like BitWall, users can view a single article, or opt to pay for unlimited access for one hour or one day.
The initial launch of BitMonet used a Javascript lightbox and the company recently launched a WordPress plugin as well. BitMonet's goal is reportedly to increase bitcoin adoption and they have elected to make its service free of charge, other than the standard 0.99% BitPay processing fee.
At just a few cents (or potentially fractions of a cent) per article, the annual cost per person to support better content would be nominal. Realistically, we're probably still years away from wide enough proliferation of bitcoin for these to work on their own for most publications. Until that becomes a realistic scenario, bitcoin paywalls may prove more immediately beneficial in tech publications or alongside traditional paywall payment methods as an additional option for the most forward thinking consumers.

Subject: [mou-net] Dark red-tailed hawk
The dark red-tailed hawk discussed a few months ago is still hanging
around Hwy 100 and 77th St. Now that the snow has melted, it's using more
perches so is harder to locate. I noticed it perched on a light post while
I was at the car wash, so went home and got my camera. It's tough finding
a good vantage point for photos because the hawk is shy, and the amount of
traffic around there. I managed to get this shot of it on the ground,
right across the frontage road from the Shell station. The hawk seems to
like this small field. After it left the field and perched on the light
post again, I watched it for a while, and saw it fly off to the northeast.

Latest FDA Food Recall
Sweet Earth Natural Foods Issues Voluntary Recall of Mispackaged Big Sur Burritos That Contain the Santa Cruz Burrito: Potential Allergy Concern for Those with Milk Allergy
Announcement Sweet Earth Natural Foods is voluntarily recalling its Big Sur Burrito, 7 oz, due to a packaging error. As a result, a small number of these products contain an undeclared milk allergen. The precautionary recall was necessitated when it was discovered that a small quantity of Santa Cruz Burritos were packaged into Big Sur Burrito pouches. The Santa Cruz Burrito contains milk in the form of cheese, which is not listed as an allergen on the Big Sur Burrito pouch, therefore posing a potential risk to people who have an allergy to milk. In some individuals the consumption of milk could present a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. These retail products were distributed nationwide from our manufacturing facility between the dates of March 30, 2016 and May 6, 2016.

npm install publet
npm install publet
Redis publish/subscribe with EventEmitter interface and efficient Buffer support.
To test, make sure you have a running
cd into
npm install ./
make test
To benchmark Publet against zeromq,
make bench. The benchmark compares sending
50000 strings and buffers from forked child processes using the
zeromq.node module in
push/pull mode and Publet in
emitter/receiver mode.
To operate a fully-fledged emitter/receiver, two Redis clients are required. Emitted events are queued until both the emitter and receiver client are connected and ready.
var publet = require'publet';var emitter = publet; emitteron'data' console.log'Data' data;; emitteremit'data' 'Greetings';
However, you might not always need an emitter/receiver. Sometimes either is fine. In this case we don't bother synchronizing, so the startup time should be marginally faster.
var cluster = require'cluster';var cpus = require'os'cpuslength;var publet = require'publet'; if clusterisMaster var receiver = publetreceiver; receiveron'message' console.logmsg; // 'greetings' ; while cpus-- clsuterfork; else var emitter = publetemitter; emitteremit'message' 'greetings';;
Publet supports Buffers. And don't worry, it does not JSON.stringify an entire Node Buffer object. However, the buffer-to-arraylike-object conversion is marginally slower than plain other JSON.stringifiables.
var publet = require'publet';var emitter = publet; emitteron'message' console.logBufferisBuffermsg msgtoString; // true 'test' ; emitteremit'message' 'test';
Publet's constructor tries not to clobber your namespace too good. Publet also tries to preserve the EventEmitter API. This means you could extend a Publet EventEmitter much in the same way that you could extend a regular Node EventEmitter.
var util = require'util';var publet = require'publet'; publetEventEmitterapplythis;; utilinheritsSender publetEventEmitter; thisemitapplythis arguments;; thisaddListenerevent callback;; var sender = ; senderon'ready' senderlisten'message' console.logmsg; // 'test' ; sendersend'message' 'test';;

Today's wedding is full of sweet vintage details, special musical elements, all at a beautiful location. Lovely photos by Katie Stoops.
The bride wore her mother's dress and veil.
DIY details included fans for during the ceremony and customized tambourine favors.
The musical bride and groom sang "If I Were a Carpenter" before cutting their pie at the reception. Pies included pecan, apple, apple berry, strawberry rhubarb, and peach. Signature drinks were The Mavis (lavender gin spritzer) and The Otis (old-fashioned).
Says Lauren about their band: "Because of how much we worried and schemed about the challenge of putting a 10-piece brass band in a fairly small barn building, the fact that the dancing piece of our reception felt so festive and not overly-crowded was a lovely surprise!"
Why did you choose this location for your wedding? My sister and I grew up playing with one of the daughters of the family who operates Tuckahoe, so we were familiar with it in an informal way. My sister and her husband were married there in October of 2010, which was my first chance to see the property as a fine outdoor venue. What I loved most about Tuckahoe was the freedom to decorate very little to large effect, because the grounds of Tuckahoe are already so lovingly maintained. I love the mix of formal and functional gardening spaces.
What inspired you when you were planning your wedding? I enjoyed the chance to learn more about my mom and dad's early married years together, by going through some of my parents' rustic decor pieces. I was also jazzed when Nate suggested we include Johnny Cash's "Flesh and Blood" in the ceremony music, because it really nailed down the "return to Eden" hopefulness of our commitment to one another (and the visible decor of the wedding day).
What was your favorite moment or part of the day? I will always remember the determination with which Nate took on arranging "Gimme Some" by Nina Simone – as soon as I got it in my head that it would make for a fun first dance. The fact that our wedding band ended up being a 10-piece brass band didn't slow him down – Nate write lines for all of the members of the band!
What was the best advice you received as a bride? Don't try to please everyone! You can't even guess what would please someone else, so just step away and figure out what your preferences are. Also, I was thankful for Pinterest, but only in moderation!

On Friday, a Snohomish County sheriff's deputy spotted a 14-year-old girl walking with a grown man along Aurora Avenue in North Seattle. The deputy stopped to ask the pair a few questions, and soon learned the girl had been reported missing earlier in the week.
The girl told police she met the man, a 20-year-old from Federal Way, at an apartment on Capitol Hill.
She said he twice put a gag in her moth, held her down and raped her.
Deputies arrested the man and booked him into King County Jail on suspicion of child rape.
Police later reunited the girl with her worried mother, Keri Kahler. Kahler said her daughter has the mind of an 8- or 9-year-old child, which makes her very vulnerable.
"She can't take care of herself by herself," she said.
Kahler said the girl is kind, sweet and lovable, but she can be too trusting of strangers.
"She doesn't see the bad," she said. "You have a puppy in the car, okay, let me take a look."

NEW PORT RICHEY — Susan Dillinger was dutifully trudging upstairs at New Port Richey Public Library to help fix a problem with a projector for the free Friday night movie — or so she thought.
"Surprise!" shouted dozens of city officials and library co-workers as they pulled the wool over her eyes with a surprise party Friday afternoon.
Dillinger has pulled double duty the past year and a half as both library director and the interim city manager, so city workers wanted to honor her diligence and sheer stamina.
Taken off guard, Dillinger had to wipe away a tear or two.
"I was genuinely surprised, most definitely," Dillinger said. Dillinger hugged many friends and co-workers. They included Mayor Rob Marlowe, former Mayor Bob Consalvo, City Councilmen Jeff Starkey and Bill Phillips, Development Director Lisa Fierce, City Clerk Doreen Summers and Finance Director Peter Altman.
Well-wishers presented a plaque to Dillinger that will rechristen the art exhibition space in City Hall as the Susan Dillinger Art Gallery. She also got a large bouquet of Confetti Hawaiian Summer flowers. A cake read, "Thank You, Susan." Several cards and small gifts were part of the festivities.
The city hired Debbie Manns to become the next city manager. With contract negotiations going smoothly, Dillinger said, she expects Manns can start her new duties June 2.

Looks like the cap just blew. Meanwhile, LINKS to the Deepwater debacle
Actually, to be specific, it looks like the earth all around the cap just blew. The cap did its job — rather, the job we all knew it would do — it caused ruptures in the ground around the wellhead. Very large ruptures, according to sonar. Or maybe very large pockets of methane, or plumes of oil. Can't say for sure.
It's almost 7am on Friday, July 16, 2010. I haven't slept yet. Couldn't stop watching the Deepwater live-feed, after a tip-off from my friend Gaspo that things were starting to look shaky down there. The streaming seafloor video feeds all bounced, in succession, and then WHOOSH, big clouds of oil billowed and enveloped jangly cameras, which were all pulled up to the surface with a quickness. Looked like a series of ruptures and explosions — who knows how big. Seven of the 12 video feeds on CNN's live-feed are shut down now, and the remaining 5 are being looped.
Here's Gaspo's still photo index of the event, and the Youtube and downloadable video of the rupture starting — right before, according to his readings from the ROV, the camera got blown 350 feet off the sea floor.
Gaspo got these screengrabs:
… and then I tuned in and saw it do that some more, and then the camera was pulled up through the black and brown sea, and surfaced at sunrise. More bouncings and explosiony-looking disturbances in the water caught by another camera were quickly removed from the public eye when that one also retreated to the surface, where it's still filming the ship's hull as I type this.
UPDATE: The CNN live feed suddenly and quietly announced an address from the President for this morning, which according to the Internets was NOT pre-planned, and he got on TV looking more nervous, agitated, and possibly angry than I've ever seen him. This is what he said. WTF?!?
Six hours later, CNN's "live feed" still only has the one looped camera-footage window, as opposed to its usual 12, with sonar and all that. They're not even doing a good job of trying to hide the discrepancies. Why would Obama say the cap's working and everything's OK, but that everything may NOT be OK? …
Whispers on the wind even say the Dept of Defense is currently taking all the Navy's toys and planning to detonate 6 nuclear warheads in the Gulf — maybe as early as this Tuesday or Wednesday — without telling anyone or evacuating people at all. Sure, the nuclear option worked for the Russians in bedrock, but what about for us, when the integrity of the oilbed and seafloor is heavily compromised, in cottage-cheese limestone Mississippi silt? YOU do the math.
Whether you think the gubmint is capable of this is probably tied to whether or not you believe all the residents of the Ninth Ward who swear they BLEW the levee after Katrina, the way they did last century to get rid of Storyville. That levee didn't fail. Everyone heard the BOOMS at 4:30 in the morning, right before all the water came rushing in and killed everyone while they were sleeping. Notice the Ninth Ward is the only neighborhood that was FLATTENED when the water "rose" — that's because it didn't rise — it rushed in through a blown hole. Katrina was a practicing ground for martial law. So that's why we're all knee-jerky about the nuclear whispers.
Here's Gaspo's video feed. It looks like it could be silt or oil … but he was too thunderstruck to record the actual explosion-part where the camera flew 350 feet above the sea floor. Point is, the camera never recorded stuff like this before. One thing is for certain: There was definitely an "event" which led to big white heat spots on sonar, cameras being hastily pulled to the surface, live feed being replaced with loop footage, and an unannounced Presidential address cavalcade of bullshit. What the hell Obama? You're LYING.
Oh and there was a 3.0 earthquake in Washington, D.C. AND a 3.0 earthquake in Puerto Rico this morning.

"i'm so sorry, as we all are for this tragedy, but it is up to us to change this. you asked for suggestions on transforming your sickness and anger into something else, i assume you mean something positive. (obv) and i think the only way is to maintain loving hearts and minds. i recently read that one way to heal negativity is to consciously breathe in all that negativity, pain, confusion, and greed, in hopes to transform it into love, healing, and compassionate selflessness. and then breathe out just that, love, compassion, healing, and selflessness, in hopes that we may change the karma of the individuals who are choosing such evil thoughts, as they are clearly lost. and we wouldn't scold a child for being lost, we would only try to teach her. so i think we must all try to keep a positive mind, and we must keep our hearts pure. that's all i know. and it seems more important than ever."

I find that the Torah (5 books of Moses) itself is incredibly inaccurate. But the books after such are historically valid. If you take out all the moral blabbering you could have a historical account of the Middle East over one thousand years.
Indeed, but the books are so opinionated and biased towards any group outside Christianity that it tarnishes any accuracy that the books may have had. The slaughter of entire civilizations merely due to their faith is something that is horrifyingly reflected in today's conflicts in the Middle East, and the fact that it is glorified in the Old Testament (and some passages in the New Testament) represents, in my opinion, one of humanity's greatest mistakes.
I am not saying that Christianity hasn't bought good to the table, or athiesm hasn't caused problems, but the good that this religion has done is far outweighed by the many atrocities it has caused. There is no justification for it, whether or not God exists.
Unless of course it's all true and God is a total dick who'll let you sPend eternity in Hell for worshipping him the wrong way.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
What's so bad about atheism?
I might've been baptised as a Catholic as a baby, but now I am sure there probably ISN'T a God, and I am also a COMMUNIST... and damn proud of it!
Communism isn't a religion.........
What kind of communism?
Well, if you're sure there probably isn't a God, that's not very certain is it?
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
I'm not saying that athiesm is bad, but both atheism and religion (okay, maybe not Buddism) have fallen into morally grey territory, and will continue to do so well into the future. Athiests, remember Stalin. Christians, remember...well, a lot of things. Yes, we can say that all these instances were caused by corruption of the core beliefs behind them, but humans aren't perfect, it's always going to happen. Phasing out one belief over the other isn't going to lead to a perfect world. Perhaps Benjamin from George Orwell's Animal Farm sums up my post best;
"He believed, windmill or no windmill, life would go on as it always had; that is, badly."
Mental note: Choose better quote.
Oh for fuck's sake you cannot pin Stalin on atheism. He did nothing in the name of atheism. He just took advantage of communism.
And you can't corrupt the core belief "I think God doesn't exist," which is the only belief in atheism.
Not really a personal oppinion, but more of a topic of debate that actually has substance instead of all the attrocities this thread has brought to the surface.
"If" God exists, then using the laws of science, for him to have created the universe, he would have to be outside the universe, A.K.A outside the universe's dimension.
The same applies if you view the subject from a Christian perspective, because Christians believe God created science and the laws therein.
I'm not great on the subject of extradimensional physics, but I do know there are several layers of dimensions out there, the one above ours being time, or the 4th dimension. Would God also have to exist outside of time to create time, since according to Christian perspective, God has always been? There are several more layers, including alternate realities, etc.
Topic: Discuss the POSIBILITIES of God existing in the uppermost dimension, and the science involved to explain/disprove that.
Science doesn't care if God exists or not. Why? Because every definition of God makes his existence non-empirical, which means science doesn't apply. Anyone looking for conclusive scientific proof of God's existence will, if they succeed, be met with a God who isn't the God people seem to be looking for.
I'm completely lost in that statement.
What I'm saying is that it could be possible for a being to be in a dimension higher than ours, and that, if the comparison is accurate between the third and second dimensions, in that we can create and manipulate things in the second dimension.
Could such a being in a higher plane of existence manipulate our dimension as we do that of the second dimension?
It is not an arguement of whether or not God does or does not exist, but that of if it is possible for a God or god-like being to exist, much like the simple arguement that hell "Could" exist, simply because we know of several places in which a "lake of fire" could be present, such as the Earth's core. Keep in mind that is a simple discussion meant to simply open up the mind to new possibilities, not to enforce a specific belief.
Yes it's possible.
Oh for fuck's sake you cannot pin Stalin on atheism. He did nothing in the name of atheism. He just took advantage of communism."And who can deny that Stalin and Mao, not to mention Pol Pot and a host of others, all committed atrocities in the name of a Communist ideology that was explicitly atheistic? Who can dispute that they did their bloody deeds by claiming to be establishing a 'new man' and a religion-free utopia? These were mass murders performed with atheism as a central part of their ideological inspiration, they were not mass murders done by people who simply happened to be atheist." - Dinesh D'Souza, WIKIPEDIAAnd you can't corrupt the core belief "I think God doesn't exist," which is the only belief in atheism.In contexts where theism is defined as the belief in a singular personal god, for example, people who believe in a variety of other deities have been classified as atheists, including deists (such as Thomas Paine) and even polytheists; conversely, the ancient Romans accused Christians of being atheists, for not worshipping the pagan gods...With respect to the range of phenomena being rejected, atheism may counter anything from the existence of a god, to the existence of any spiritual, supernatural, or transcendental concepts, such as those of Hinduism and Buddhism. WIKIPEDIA

Corporate manslaughter charge after 11-year-old girl's speedboat death
12:45 19 February 2013
A watersports club has been charged with corporate manslaughter over the death of an 11-year-old girl who was hit by a speedboat during a friend's birthday party.
Mari-Simon Cronje fell from a banana boat and was hit by the boat towing it in September 2010. She died of severe leg injuries.
The incident happened at a lake in Bedfont, west London.
Prince's Sporting Club Limited, represented by a solicitor, was charged with corporate manslaughter and a health and safety offence at Westminster Magistrates' Court today.
One of the company's directors, Frederick Glen Walker, 49, from Cobham in Surrey, is also facing a health and safety charge.
Wearing a dark suit with a blue shirt and blue tie, Walker spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during the short hearing.
The next hearing will be at Southwark Crown Court on April 26.
Chief Magistrate Howard Riddle said: "This is a very tragic case, very tragic for everyone involved."

text: Home > News and Events > Club Blog > The Pennines mightier than the sword Search the Club Blog When The Pennines mightier than the sword The start of the Pennine Way It was with some trepidation that I set out on my first adventure as a reporter at the Club. We'd been invited to join the Ramblers at the launch of its Go All Out campaign, which encourages people to say what they like and don't like about walking and being outdoors. And the launch was in the Pennines. Gulp. Don't get me wrong, I don't scare easily. I've been a reporter for a long time - I've done the war zone thing, been chased from a building site with a brick, received a dead rat through the post and death threats galore. For goodness' sake, I haven't just dealt with one toddler's tantrums, I even put myself through it again by having a second child! I'm tough! But this was a whole new ball game. What? I hear you gasp incredulously. You're afraid of the Pennines? Nope. I'm replying, shaking my head. Surely not the Ramblers then? Definitely not, I chuckle. My aversion is... the M6. There, I've said it. I hate it with a vengeance. Like the M25 (I can never figure out which is clockwise and anti-clockwise, there always seem to be jams!), I believe the M6 is like chicken pox. If you have a bad time of it, it leaves you scarred for life. I've gone to great lengths to avoid this massive artery that runs through England - one that would have even the best heart surgeon mumbling about "blockages" and being "clogged up". Even heart bypass surgery (the M6 Toll) doesn't always work. So in true Amy Johnson style, once agreeing to go on the Ramblers' launch, I plotted a new course, albeit a circuitous route from the Club's Coventry HQ. Unfortunately fate had other ideas. Facing the magazine's deadline, I had to quickly bash out a piece about myself and up against the clock, I had no choice but to meet my enemy head-on. The dreaded M6. Suffice to say 3.5 hours later, sweaty and bedraggled, I arrived at the Moorlands Centre in Edale, the hub of the action for the Ramblers' launch. My angst-ridden journey behind me, just ten minutes into the Walk and Talk event, we'd stopped at the fabulous Ramblers Inn for a quick snifter (alright, in my case it was lemonade). I looked at the assembled group from all walks (excuse the pun!) of life and smiled. Here I was, at a pub, the unseasonally hot autumn sun on my back doing what I love best. Talking to people. And in the most fabulous of locations. "You haven't been to the Pennines before?" said one man, raising his eyebrows. "Well you've got a real treat in store." Opening a little creaking gate onto a field which marks the start of the Pennine Way, famed by Wainwright, I looked around me. The dramatic, naked peaks were lying just a gentle roll away from hills and hedgerows bustling with wildlife. Sighing dreamily, I inhaled. "You're right," I replied to the man. "I could stay here forever." And not just because of that journey back on the M6, honestly... Posted byLeda Reynolds XLeda Reynolds Leda Reynolds is a reporter on the magazine.

Huntington bus system hosts canned food drive
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Tri-State Transit Authority will conduct its annual Food-For-Fares drive Saturday. One canned food item will be accepted as fare all day long in place of cash, passes and value cards on TTA buses and Dial-A-Ride vans.
Food-For-Fares is an annual event sponsored by TTA on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The food TTA collects is donated to the Huntington City Mission to help meet the needs of the poor during the holiday season.
Individuals and groups who do not regularly ride TTA transit are invited to bring canned food donations to the TTA Center, Fourth Avenue and 13th Street, downtown Huntington. Contributors can park in the bus stop in front of the station and place their donations in a receptacle just inside the front door.

Happy Birthday to You
I also chose to participate in the SCS Inspiration Challenge IC369; I chose these boxes as my inspiration. The necklace box was purchased from the Silhouette Store and was resized smaller than the original.
pocket card was also purchased at the Silhouette Store and was also resized to my needs.
The sentiment on the insert is Verve's Brighter Days which is a recent purchase thanks to the generosity of my good friend Tangii Crain. The sentiment was embossed with black embossing powder and looks so special.
I tied the outside of the pocket with a big pink bow, Verve's Birthday to You PJ was also embossed, but this time in white. And, I fastened the insert with a lovely pink pearl. And, you can see how the box looks closed. Here's hoping she likes it!

There's a great interview with Tony Blair over at New Scientist, a sister publication to Electronics Weekly, where the Prime Minister says science is vital to society. New Scientist editor Jeremy Webb managed to get into number 10 to speak to the PM – no mean feat for a consumer science publication – and the result is the Tony Blair Interview. Blair, who professes to know little about science, nevertheless seems to hold the discipline in high regard:
"For the future of the British economy, it [science] is as important as economic stability. If we do not take the opportunities that are there for us in science then we are not going to have a successful modern economy."
Blair reckons links between academia and industry are vital – and this is something the electronics industry in the UK is becoming much better at.
"You need a certain amount of pure research, and the excitement and creativity of scientific discovery. But if you also have universities and research centres sufficiently in tune to what is going on in the private sector, then hopefully discoveries will be made that have a real utility."
From the interviewer's position, Jeremy describes the PM as coming across as well-meaning and sincere:
"There's no doubt that the Labour government have poured lots more money into publicly-funded research, and they've made funds available to modernise university labs. They've created a much more positive attitude within academia and given tax breaks to firms that conduct research. It helps when Blair says things like 'science is almost as important as economic stability'."
Maybe there's hope for science, engineering and technology yet!

Soon enough, clear front runners emerged from the noise. This is perhaps best illustrated by the popularity of WhatsApp, whose 450 million users recently convinced Facebook it was worth paying $19 billion to acquire. But what is it about these stand-outs that gave them lasting power? What is it about the apps that succeed? Is it pure luck or something more?
And so, it was the 3 December, 1992, when the first ever text message was sent, by 22-year-old British engineer Neil Papworth. On this day, Neil marked his place in the history books, revolutionising communication as we know it today, all by sending a text message that read "Happy Christma" (the 's' was missed off)

The Hough High girls' swimming team crushed the competition and the state record book.
The Huskies set four state records en route to winning the N.C. 4A swimming and diving championship at Triangle Aquatics Center in Cary on Feb. 7, scoring 323 points to runnerup Cary Green Hope's 236. It was the second straight state championship for Hough, which is a third-year school.
Hough had three state champions in individual events (two by Emily Allen and one by Jessica Merritt), two relay teams that won titles and three third-place finishes. But it was how the Huskies won that was the most impressive.
Allen, a sophomore, set state records in winning the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events. She won the 50 in 23.02 seconds and the 100 in 49.77 seconds, nearly three seconds ahead of the field (a difficult task in a short race). Both of Allen's winning times earned automatic All-American status.
She swam despite battling flu-like symptoms.
"I warmed up really well and my stroke felt good," Allen said. "I felt strong, which is always good."
Hough also set state records with dominant performances in the 200- and 400-yard freestyle relays. The Huskies broke the record for the 200 during the preliminaries, then broke their own mark in the final with a time of 1 minute, 35.04 seconds. The winning quartet was Shannon Bauer, Heather Merritt, Jessica Merritt and Allen.
The 400-yard relay team of Heather Merritt, Ally Dupay, Jessica Merritt and Allen won in a record time of 3:24.83, nearly six seconds ahead of the second-place team.
"All the girls were super-excited," Hough coach Tim Queen said. "Each of them had worked so hard. We were very fortunate to have such talented, hard-working swimmers here. All our relays swam well, and we had three divers in the (state's) top eight."
Karly Adams was third in diving, and teammates Katelyn Abernathy (fifth) and Morgan Donnelly (eighth) earned valuable points.
Hough's Jessica Merritt capped an outstanding freshman season with a state championship in the 200-yard freestyle (1:48.84) and a third-place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke. Heather Merritt was third in the 100-yard backstroke.
The Huskies scored well with fourth-place finishes in the 200-yard medley relay (Alexandria Kitchens, Dupay, Kathryn O'Brien and Bauer) and the 500-yard freestyle (Dupay).
"The girls that were returning to the state meet felt comfortable with the whole crowd scenario and they helped the freshmen not be intimidated," Queen said. "Their leadership was critical. And Emily (Allen) almost couldn't breathe, but she swam with heart. To be perfect at that level, considering her physical condition, was very impressive."
The core of Hough's team is underclassmen, and nearly all of them swim year-round for club teams. That means the Huskies' status as a state power should remain intact for a while.
"We have the best support system for everyone here at Hough," Allen said. "It's an individual sport, and it's sometimes hard to get pumped up. But if you have a bad race, the support and love you get is great. We're like a big family, and to swim this well is impressive for such a young school."
Said Queen: "They're all so driven to do well. They don't want to let their teammates down."
The Huskies, who also won the N.C. 4A West regional meet, didn't overdo the state championship celebration.
"We all went out to eat and the bus ride home was a lot of fun," Allen said. "There definitely wasn't a lot of sleep."

The tires are different now.
There is no saving tire for the end of the race like Rossi used to do and come out of nowhere with a win.
The bridgestones won't allow it as they barely degrade over a race.
The only way Rossi can compete is if he can pound out a metronomic race pace like Jorge.
Historically, he has not been known to do that.
Let's see what happens.

Coprich and Ervin Getting Reps at Running Back

Spring Football Central
Interviews: Dykes | Coprich and Ervin
2013 Cal Football
BERKELEY - Neither Jeffrey Coprich or Darren Ervin has ever carried the ball in game for Cal but both running backs are getting plenty of opportunities this spring. With injuries sidelining Brendan Bigelow and Daniel Lasco, many of the running back repetitions are going to the duo.
"Every rep counts, you want to make the most out of every rep," Ervin said following the team's second workout of the spring Wednesday at Memorial Stadium. "If you make the best out of it, you become better as a player and contribute more to the team." "When you get more reps, you get more used to it," Coprich added. "It's good being out there and not standing on the sidelines having to watch. When you're out there, you're getting better yourself and it's helping the team out, too."
Both players have been on the sidelines often early in their Cal career.
After a versatile prep career at Lamar High School in Houston in which he lined up at quarterback, tailback and wide receiver at times, Ervin was a promising mid-year enrollee at Cal in January of 2011 but hampered by injuries and redshirted as a true freshman that fall.
"You have a few setbacks, but you don't let that get you down," Ervin said. "You want to keep moving forward, keep pushing through, and keep fighting because that's what it's going to take in the end."
Last season Ervin found himself in a logjam on the depth chart at tailback behind seniors C.J. Anderson, as well as Bigelow and Lasco, but he kept fighting and found a home playing on four of five special teams' units.
"It was a rough start, but I got a chance to get experience on special teams last year," Ervin said. "That was a great experience to get my confidence going for a new year and a new season."
This year both he is in the running to do much more.
"I look forward to a new season, a new offense, a new tempo, and I look forward to getting after it," Ervin said.
Coprich is also looking forward to his first season as a running back in 2013 after being recruited as an athlete and redshirting the 2012 campaign while spending it as a defensive back.
Coprich played both positions as a prep, rushing for 1,277 yards and 16 touchdowns while adding 25 tackles and two interceptions that he returned for touchdowns as a senior at West Ranch High School.
"It's been a blessing to be switched to running back," Coprich said. "We needed help at running back, and I played running back in high school so it wasn't much of a transition. I'm loving it."
Head coach Sonny Dykes chimed in about the team's running backs during his post-practice interview session.
"I've been pleased with the entire group honestly," Dykes said. "They're all different. That's the thing that makes them a little bit unique. They've all got different strengths and bring different things to the table, but they've all been pretty consistent."
The next opportunity to see the Ervin, Coprich and the Bears in action at Memorial Stadium this spring is Friday, Mar. 1 (6:30 - 9 p.m. PT).

Gentle readers, I was never a shrinking violet–in fact, I was voted "Most Outspoken" in my high school class–but these last couple months, as I've been caterwauling more loudly and openly and thoughtfully about women's issues for Harpyness, I think I'm making progress towards living a more outgoing, unafraid, empowered life. All the positive vibes I get from the Harpies and you commenters gives me the energy bay like a hounddog when confronted with sexism, intimidation and grossness. In the past I might have grumbled or sniped a little, but now I'm a lot more willing to engage with people directly, and without apologizing.
This was brought home to me last night when I had an Evil Cabbie Experience. When I told him how to get to my apartment he cut me off with "Whatever, whatever, you don't give me a lecture." I pointed out, politely, that I wasn't giving him a lecture, I was telling him the address and the best way to get there. (For non New Yorkers: one of the rules on the taxi customer's bill of rights–as displayed in each cab–is that the driver will take you to your destination according to the route you dictate).
There was much grumbling and "no more lectures!", but I mostly let it go, because cabbies are notoriously surly anyway, and I don't blame them, as I'd hate to do their job. But when we pulled up outside my building and I had problems with the credit card scanner, he looked into the backseat and sneered: "How often do you take taxi? You've never taken taxi before, have you? You can't even pay fare right."
Now, in New York, that's tantamount to saying: 'you're a fucking idiot.' And from his tone and sneer, I knew that that's exactly what this guy meant. He went out of his way to belittle me, and there was a definite air of leering intimidation about it as well, as he was a big dude and I…am not. There was no doubt that gender played a role here. As one of my (middle-aged male) colleagues said the next day: "If you'd been a 200 lb. man, this would not have happened."
While I'd been willing to put up with the grumbling about directions, I was not about to put up with someone intentionally insulting and antagonizing me. In years past, I might have scowled, handed him the money and left. But I knew that he was counting on just that response: I would be humiliated, but I would just seethe and give up and it would be a WIN for him. Fuck that. It was time to–you guessed it–BE A BITCH.
So I pulled out my beautiful new iPhone* and dialed 311 to report this asshole (Non New Yorkers: we can report cab drivers' "rude or abusive behavior" to the city and request a hearing.). When Evil Cabbie figured out what I was doing, the shit really hit the fan. I could barely hear the operator on the other end of the line because he began shouting so loudly for me to get out the cab. Evil Cabbie even removed the license all drivers are required to display so that I couldn't report him by name or license number. But I sat calmly in the back of that cab, talking to the operator–who could hear the shouting–until Evil Cabbie gave up, yelled "I stick this in your face!" and showed me his license. Once I got the info, I handed him a 20 and got my receipt (I only paid because when I appear at the hearing, I don't want him to claim I stiffed him the fare). I got my confirmation from the city today that the complaint was filed and I would be notified of a hearing date. You can be damn sure this bitch is going to show up and have her say.
A few months ago, I don't know how I would have handled the situation. Maybe the same. But I would have been a lot more intimidated by it. Not this time, though. I think y'all are helping me be my best bitch, and for that, I thank you.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello, I am happy to answer your question.
This is a pretty typical situation with roomates. In my opinion, it is better to have just one person take full responsibility for the lease so that the others can merely "sublet" from them and can leave at anytime, but the person on the lease always has the right to stay.
Since that is not your case, you will have to go with the flow. When you sign your name on the lease, you are taking responsibility for the entire amount of the lease, even if there are two other people on it. Thus, if the rent isn't paid, the landlord can go after EACH of you individually for the entire amount due, UNTIL he gets paid in full.
So, you have taken a huge risk that if the others decide to bail, you are responsible for their shares. This is why many landlords don't take shares, because they know that if someone leaves, the rent doesn't get paid.
Now you need to figure out what steps to take. First, make sure you have enough money to keep paying the rent, even if this person stops paying and moves out. Next, ask them if they are willing to be released from the lease so that you can get someone else in there ASAP. If the landlord won't change the lease, ask your roomate to sign something saying that he agrees to allow someone to take his space in the apartment because he can not pay. You must get tenants in there immediately if you can not afford this alone.
The others will remain liable on the lease, but this way you can all move forward and still pay your rent without paying an extra share each. Then just take this as experience to learn from and next time make sure to only have the lease in one person's name.
I hope this was helpful and good luck.
Like I mentioned, your options are not great because in the end you are still liable for the entire lease.
You can go to small claims court against your roommates, but the problem is that it will take time, and it doesn't look like you have much time, since this lease is only a few months and you need to get someone in immediately. Small claims court you can do without a lawyer, and won't cost you much, so you might as well give it a shot and see how fast you can get some action. Maybe it is enough just to scare them into paying you.
In the meantime, yes, your landlord will come after you. Especially since you are the only one left hanging around. However, evictions take time as well, and since this is so short term, he may not even try to evict you just yet.
The number one thing you can do right now is to communicate with the landlord. Tell him what's going on and that you want to pay your portion. Ask him to go after the others for their portion (which he probably won't want to do). Then get someone in there to sublet right away. You need to offset this burden on yourself.
Please click "Accept" so that I can get paid for my work.
Thanks and good luck.

Renaissance Clothing
A part of the Age of Renaissance was the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The clothing during that period spoke much about the social standing of the wearer. One could largely distinguish between aristocracy or nobility and the lower-downs. In fact what one wore was extremely important, as compared to the present day scenario.
The rich wore fabrics such as velvet, satin and cotton, whereas the poor wore flannel and other cheaply available fabrics. It may surprise some how cotton was regarded as a rich person's clothing. In those days, cotton was not easily available as compared to today and was imported from India and America, levying a high taxation. Amongst the common fabrics were flax and wool. Wool was spun into a form know as tweed.
Men of the Renaissance Age commonly wore boots, pants, a shirt, a vest and a hat. Women would be seen wearing shoes, an over and under skirt, a shirt, a bodice, and a hat or snood. They generally braided their long hair. Curls were a mark of beauty. Children after the age of years would wear what the adults wore.
It is believed that during the Renaissance, clothes wore such an important treasure that those belonging to the upper classes of nobility and aristocracy would spend all their earnings on what they wore. The women finely decorated their dresses. Typical Renaissance clothing was not just limited to England, which was ruled by Queen Elizabeth, but its influence spread to other European countries such as Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Flanders, and Poland.
Today, Renaissance costumes are more about fun. While it is completely outdated, yet it forms a theme for costume parties and fancy dress balls. While the clothing of that age did have its own charm and class, yet it would be inconvenient and extremely expensive an option to wear today. Especially considering the layers of cloth required. Yet, Renaissance costumes remain a subject of intricate study amongst prospective fashion designers.

Hmmmm...perhaps they moved it?
No, Becca I'm sure it's my confusing the local Ocoee (town) with the TN river.
Oooh! In Ireland too! :9: That's cool, Mairead!
years ago I stayed at the Carlsbad Resort with my Mom and Dad, it was our first trip to Florida and we went to a place called Carlsbad Caverns. Does anyone know if it's still there?
Carlsbad Caverns? Yep. I've heard of it, but it's in Florida? (Says She of the Geographically Challenged Club).
Carlsbad is in New Mexico. I've been down the caverns and they most definitely were not in Florida.
The Ocoee River in TN. It's where they held the white water events for the Atlanta olympics. I rafted down it and survived in 1991.
WE visited Bok gardens beautiful tower grounds good for a picnic and long views from the highest point in Florida but it's not from the tower

Well the resort was near Miami, maybe it was called something else that we visited! I was only 6 at the time! Haven't been to New Mexico just Arizona!! Must check with Mom.Originally Posted by Tink, post: 188051
Dawn, wanna' give me geography lessons?
Nope, I can honestly say that I KNOW Carlsbad is NOT in Miami!

Virgin UmaUma Thurman is set to front a £20 million advertisement campaign for Virgin Media.
The 'Pulp Fiction' actress is the face of a marketing campaign, which will air next month, announcing to customers that digital TV, telephone and internet service provider NTL has been re-branded as Virgin Media.
NTL merged with Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Mobile company last year in a £961 million deal.
James Kydd, managing director of Virgin Media marketing, said: "We are thrilled that Uma will be helping us launch the most exciting and the biggest Virgin branded company in the world."
The merger sees Virgin Media become the UK's first "quadruple play" media company - combining TV, fixed line telephone, broadband internet and mobile phones.
Uma, 36, is not the first big name star to front a Virgin campaign.
Pamela Anderson and Kate Moss have both featured in advertisements for Virgin Mobile.

Happy Pride! On behalf of the Board of Directors, Staff, and Volunteers of Capital Pride, welcome to the 36th annual Capital Pride celebration. This year is one of our longest celebrations yet: 12 days of programming and events that celebrate our incredibly vibrant community.
I would like to extend a special welcome to all of those for whom this is your very first Pride celebration. Ten years ago I went to my first Pride celebration here in Washington, and I still recall just how special it was. Joining over 200,000 people on Pennsylvania Avenue in the shadow of our nation's Capitol to celebrate our heritage is quite a powerful experience. And, whenever someone asks me, "why is Pride still important?" I know I can answer, "because it's always someone's first Pride."
I am grateful for the support of our Community Partners and Sponsors — without them this celebration would not be possible. They are committed to our community, and as you see them around the city or at the Parade and Festival, please extend your gratitude for their support. Finally, none of this would be possible without our dedicated Staff and Volunteers: they are the keystones of our success in making everything come together.
As you page through the 2011 Official Pride Guide, take a moment to view our diverse calendar of events. I encourage you to participate in the many and varied activities taking place during these nearly two weeks of Pride. From athletics to poetry, religious celebrations to parties, and educational seminars to performing arts, I am confident that you will find something to pique your interest.
I am excited to have you join us for a spectacular 12 days of events, and I look forward to seeing you around town as we celebrate Capital Pride 2011!
With Pride,
P. Michael Lutz
President, Board of Directors

So I'm still coming down off my Jimmy Choo H&M fashion fix, and checking out what is actually coming for the Christmas holiday season. Naturally, my thoughts turn to Target's upcoming Rodarte collection launching in stores Dec. 20th, 2009. The recent issue of Marie Claire magazine had a few more preview pictures of the collection. In the article, the designers, the Mulleavy sisters credit some of their favorite films (Bonnie & Clyde, Harold & Maude and Rosemary's Baby) with offering them inspiration for their collection. Frankly, I don't see it. I saw someone else in the pieces of the collection that I like. And I am not talking about the dreadful skeleton dress with sequins pictured in the Marie Claire article. I'm talking about the little black dress (pictured below) with the bow tie at the neck. The dress is a dead ringer for a dress one of my favorite film style icons, Jean Seberg, wore as Cecile during the nightclub sequence from "Bonjour Tristesse" (1958). Compare the photos for yourself.
As you can see, Jean's dress had the same halter design top, exposing bare shoulders with the little bow at the neck. Her dress had the same flared full skirt and cinched waist as the Rodarte Target dress. I believe this dress was designed by Givenchy for Jean. Regrettably, neither she or her films were mentioned as an inspiration for the Mulleavy sisters in the Marie Claire piece. And the black dress is not the only reminder of Jean apparent in the collection. If you've seen Breathless and A-Bout-De-Souffle (as I have many times), then you know that Jean popularized the boat neck top with stripes. Here is a picture of her in one of those tops.
Compare Jean's striped top above to the top by Rodarte for Target in the Marie Clarie article below.

But the black Jean Seberg style dress is as beautiful today as it was decades ago on the actress. I hope the version that hits the Target racks will be as similar to Jean's dress as the pictures in this post are. If it is, then it will merit the approximately $45.00 USD price tag.

Je préfère le style Jean Seberg.
