About 225 people attended the annual Victims Candlelight Vigil held outside the San Bernardino Police Station April 23, 2013. The event commemorated the lives lost to violence crimes in the city of San Bernardino. Families brought home made posters and wore t-shirts in memory of their loved ones. The event coincided with National Crime Victim's Rights Week. Police reported that 47 people were victims of homicides in 2012. GABRIEL LUIS ACOSTA/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER.

"Petrified Light"
Listen to Teresa Cader reading this poem.
I studied the tiny insect trapped in amber at the Museum of Science.
Seventy-million-year-old pine resin from the once tropical Baltics,
Petrified into a sarcophagus of honey light. There you are, I said.
To the bug, my alter ego. To the amber, my weight of captivity
And stasis. No one heard me mouthing off to the exhibit case.
My daughter watched a series of balls bong their obstacle course,
Plinging bells and tilting pulleys. My husband studied the underbelly
Of a fake lightning bug in the next exhibit. Amazing,
He complimented the frog whose belly glowed with glow worms,
And the syncopated sex rhythms of tropical lightning bugs who flash
In unison. So much cellular insight for a Sunday afternoon. Awe
Was the thing I didn't have: hard floors and sore instep, maybe. Awe
Is what the exhibits design for. The three foot Black Widow caught my
Peripheral. Whoa, I said to my ordinary. To my stubborn. To fear's
Onion smell welling up in my armpits. What we have here is a body
Created for me. A creature of wild and deadly desire. Bad.

When I was a kid I thought your 20s were supposed to be fun, not filled with perpetual anxiety about financial stability and constantly feeling like an unaccomplished piece of shit.
That's because it was fun for baby boomers and they basically gave us this impression it would always be like that, but then they ruined the economy.
saying "the bechdel test sets the bar too low" is silly because that's literally the point of the bechdel test, it's a bar set at ankle height that hollywood is still refusing to step over

Carriers and other vessels got infested with rodents. So cats were not just moral boosters (which they very much were) they were also working members of the crew. Some have even been immortalized for surviving multiple attacks on their ships, etc. Military dogs have been recognized for the important roles they've played but I think cats kinda get lost in the shuffle of military animals sometimes.

My Least Favorite Trope (and this post will include spoilers for The Lego Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Matrix, Western Civilization, and—cod help me—Bulletproof Monk*.) is the thing where there's an awesome, smart, wonderful, powerful female character who by all rights ought to be the Chosen One and the hero of the movie, who is tasked with taking care of some generally ineffectual male character who is, for reasons of wish fulfillment, actually the person the film focuses on. She mentors him, she teaches him, and she inevitably becomes his girlfriend… and he gets the job she wanted: he gets to be the Chosen One even though she's obviously far more qualified. And all he has to do to get it and deserve it is Man Up and Take Responsibility.
And that's it. Every god-damned time. The mere fact of naming the films above and naming the trope gives away the entire plot and character arc of every single movie." - Elizabeth Bear - My Least Favorite Trope (via feministquotes)

When I first read about this woman's plan I thought it was a strong idea but I was worried that it was a little bit much for one person, no matter how dedicated, to keep it up for too long, especially since she has, you know, college to commit to. I never thought about how, if other people helped her carry her burden, I never thought about how much it would look like pallbearers with a coffin. Which is simply one of the strongest visual symbols one can use to disturb people in the western world.
you rock it, young feminist protesters. Fuck yeah, I am so proud of you.
Yes, they're awesome.
But I think there is another part about this I like, too. Notice the burden of that pain is being shared — made lighter by women committed to being here and helping. They can't fix it, of course but mutual support makes the burden lighter.
No wonder the patriarchy wants us in competition with each other…

Shoosmiths' Manchester real-estate team provides pro bono advice to Booth Centre
Shoosmiths and GVA have given pro bono advice to Booth Centre, a Manchester homeless charity, after a surge of homelessness forced it to move premises.
After 19 years based in Manchester Cathedral, the Booth Centre at Edward Holt House on Pimblett Street launched on 15 May 2014. Edward Holt House has been funded by the Edward Holt Trust, which instructed GVA to assist in finding a suitable new premises and Shoosmiths' Manchester office to provide legal advice.
The new space contains an advice and skills centre, which provides qualifications and training for people to get back into work. It also includes a café, which can provide hot meals to more than 100 people a day; shower facilities; access to medical care; an IT suite; a fully equipped training kitchen; education and advice rooms; a greenhouse and allotment; and a boules court.

Written on: 17/09/2013
Very disappointed with this service. Signed up to review my credit history and to help me improve my credit rating after receiving a ccj in 2008. This had been settled in full within 3 months of issue and both prior and since its issue, all my bills are paid regularly by direct debit. My summary report shows an excellent history in all categories apart from the paid ccj, which is highlighted as very poor inspite of it having been settled 5 years ago. This appears to be the only blot on an otherwise clean history. It took forever to speak to someone at Equifax about this, I couldn't make my query understood nor understand fully what was said to me. After losing patience and deciding to give up and cancel my subscription, I was given a hard sell approach to try to dissuade me and it was inferred that I would be at risk of being defrauded if I cancelled. Sort your customer service out Equifax, it is not helpful and I certainly would not recommend you to anyone. Rather than focus on a system that seems designed to line your company's profits still more than I suspect they are already you would be better thought of if you allowed easy access to your service, the option to cancel easily online, staff who you can communicate clearly with when you have to ring and reasonable phone charges.

September 2014 Des Moines Market Snapshot
Posted by Les Sulgrove on Sep 30, 2014 | 0 comments
Simply Des Moines Annual Year End Predictions
Des Moines Real Estate Recovery Confirmed
With three-quarters of 2014 in the books, it is apparent that the Des Moines real estate economy has made the turn towards a normal market. All major indicators show that overall, home values are on the rise and days on market are shorter. And this is happening with fewer homes on the market for buyers to choose from. The pace of sales confirms that we are in a balanced market with 4½ Months of Inventory. A balanced market is defined as if no new homes were to come on the market, it would take between 4 and 6 months before buyers ran out of homes to purchase. Less than 4 months is a Sellers Market and more than 6 months is a Buyers Market. Des Moines will experience all three market types depending on the time of year.
It's become an annual tradition at the end of September for me to predict where Des Moines' real estate market will end up on December 31st.
Number of Homes For Sale
2014 has consistently had fewer homes for buyers to choose from with approximately 2½% less inventory over 2013 and almost 9% fewer homes compared to two years ago. My prediction is that Des Moines will continue to see low inventory into the end of the year but watch for consumer confidence to kick in during 2015.
Median Sale Price
Des Moines has seen a consistent rise in the Median Sale Price since 2011 and 2014 is also a solid year. As of the end of September, the median sale price YTD for 2014 is $165,000. That is just short of a 3% increase in overall home prices from last year. My prediction is that Des Moines will continue to see slow and steady overall appreciation of values of between 2.75% and 3% as we finish 2014.
Average Contracts Written
This number is often ignored, but it can be one of the more telling indicators of the markets health and activity. Average contracts written, also referred to as Pendings, is the best indication of future closed home sales. We are currently approximately 2½% behind last years Pendings. My prediction is that we will end 2014 slightly behind in Average Contracts Written.
Total Home Sales Closed
With my prediction of average contracts written being down at years end, I also believe that the total number of homes sold for 2014 will be down, however it will be very close to 2013's record of 10,750. So my final prediction will be a slight drop in closed home sales but everyone will agree that it's close enough to feel like we had a very good year in real estate sales for Des Moines.

A Second Spring Is In The Air!
There are a lot of signs that we are entering into our second Spring Market! Constant rain showers, having to mow lawns twice a week, thunderstorms and, oh yes, a pick up in real estate activity. It's a common occurrence here in Central Iowa. August is our typical chance to pause and catch our breath while attentions are turned to the Iowa State Fair and of course, back to school. And while Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer, buyers and sellers return their focus to home searches and home sales.
If you were to look at the number of homes currently for sale, it would appear that things have slowed down but actually Pending Home Sales have increased at a rate faster than new home sellers are coming on the market. In fact, the number of Pending Transactions as of 8/31 are within 100 of last year. And since we are talking about Active and Pending Sales, be sure and look at Year to Date Sold transactions. We are neck and neck with last years Sold counts at this same time with just over 7,100 closed transactions with four months to go. Next month is my annual year end prediction report. I think there will be some surprises in store.
Last month I introduced a new chart called AVM Comparison Over Time. AVM stands for Automated Valuation Model. Corelogic produces an AVM. An AVM is an automatically calculated analysis of a residential property using public record information and recent comparable home sale information. The National Association of REALTORS produce an AVM that they call RVM, REALTORS Valuation Model. The advantage of an RVM is that actual MLS Sales data is incorporated into the value. Zillow and Trulia both produce their own versions of home values.
Using my personal home as an example I have updated my CMA every 30 days since May. I am being as objective as possible and as you can see by clicking on the report below that while my CMA shows my value has dipped a bit, RPR continues to show a rise in values and Corelogic & Zillow both show a decline. For the most part all values are within 5% of each other. Next month this report will shuffle down in the group below, but it's certainly worth keeping an eye on this one as time goes by.

Amanda correctly identified my Lunch with Les challenge restaurant, however she was not able to go take a selfie of herself at Tasty Tacos. I did the next best thing and delivered her lunch to her home. Why the special treatment? Read on….
Sometimes a game turns into an opportunity. I'd like to introduce you to my friend, Amanda Struthers. I've known Amanda for 30 years when she was a neighbor a couple of doors down from my house. Like my two daughters, Amanda grew up and got married. She and her husband Phil have two beautiful children. Today she suffers from chronic debilitating pain as a result of a c-section birth of her second child.
Sometimes we take our own health for granted. Please take a moment and read Amanda's story. All I ask is after you do, please find it in your heart to help me help Amanda raise $5,000 for her to be able to get the pain treatment she so desperately needs.
Please help Amanda obtain the pain rehabilitation treatment needed to be the best mommy she can be for her two young children.

Unemployment should decline by more than 0.1 percent per month over the next six months and to fall below 6.5 percent—the Fed's unemployment threshold—by February 2014.
This post discusses my monthly update of the Barnichon-Nekarda model. For an introduction to the basic concepts used in this post, read my introductory post (Full details are available here.)
In September, the unemployment rate dropped to 7.2 percent—as the model correctly predicted (again!) last month—pushed down by the steady-state convergence dynamics. The decline in unemployment will continue, with a 7.1 percent jobless rate expected for October, and the outlook for the next 6 months is good: following positive readings on the job openings and layoffs fronts, the steady-state unemployment rate currently stands at 6.7percent and is expected to decline strongly over the next couple months and reach 5.9percent by March 2014, which will translate into an unemployment declining by more than 0.1 percentage points per month over the next six months. At this rate, the unemployment rate would fall below 6.5percent—the threshold unemployment rate above which the Fed has vowed to hold interest rates near zero—by February 2014.
This forecast is easily understood by looking at the projected behavior of the "steady-state" unemployment rate. The steady-state unemployment rate, or the rate of unemployment implied by the underlying labor force flows—the blue line in figure 2—stands currently at 6.7percent. Our research shows that the actual unemployment rate converges toward this steady state. With a steady-state unemployment rate lower level than the actual rate (6.7 versus 7.2, a 0.5 percentage point difference), this "steady-state convergence dynamic" is pushing the unemployment rate down, implying a decline in unemployment going forward. Moreover, the model anticipates the steady-state unemployment rate (SSUR) to decline strongly (and much more than anticipated as of last month) over the coming month (figure 2). As a result, the gap between the unemployment rate and SSUR will remain roughly constant at about 0.5ppt over the next 6 months, and the steady-state convergence dynamic will remain strong, pushing the unemployment rate down over the next 6 months.
To forecast the behavior of steady-state unemployment (and hence of the actual unemployment rate), the model propagates forward its best estimate for how the flows between employment, unemployment and out-of-the labor force will evolve over time. The strong increase in job openings (the largest monthly increase in more than a year) in September and the strong decline in new claims for unemployment insurance (again, the largest monthly decrease in more than a year) are interpreted by the models as signaling (i) a strong increase in workers' job finding rate going forward (figure 4), and (ii) a strong decrease in workers' job separation rate (mostly layoffs, figure 3). Both forces translate into a strongly decreasing SSUR, and thus a decreasing unemployment rate.
To read more about the underlying model and the evidence that it outperforms other unemployment rate forecasts, see Barnichon and Nekarda (2012).

Arizona Cardinals
Updated Dec 16, 2013 - 2:16 pm
Report: Larry Fitzgerald suffered concussion in Arizona Cardinals' win over Titans
Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald suffered a concussion while trying to recover an onside kick Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said after the game that Fitzgerald was undergoing standard protocol for head injuries, but added that no further information was available.
Fitzgerald suffered the injury while trying to recover a Tennessee Titans onside kick late in the fourth quarter of the Cardinals' 37-34 overtime win. Fitzgerald initially had the ball before taking a big hit and losing it before Tennessee recovered.
FOX cameras showed a visibly shaken up Fitzgerald on the sidelines immediately after the play, and the receiver headed to the locker room shortly after.

Coreboot Adds Lenovo X220 With Native Sandy Bridge Support
Published on 30 August 2014 01:28 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
2 Comments
This month on Phoronix I covered Coreboot gaining support for the
ThinkPad X200
support for
older MacBooks
(along with
the Chromebook Samus
) while now Coreboot is enabling support for some newer ThinkPad laptops.
Thanks to Vladimir Serbinenko, as of today there's now mainline support for the Lenovo X220. The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 is an Intel Sandy Bridge era laptop/ultra-portable. While Sandy Bridge isn't exactly the newest hardware out there, it's better than some of the recently enabled Coreboot devices and certainly much better than
the Free Software Foundation prompted re-brand of the Lenovo ThinkPad X60
its Libreboot downstream of Coreboot
The specific ThinkPad X220 model being advertised is
and the support landed with
this Git commit
. Another commit also added
native Sandy Bridge support
Lenovo X220 owners wishing to learn more about what works and what doesn't with Coreboot at this time in replacing the proprietary BIOS, see

Chase hopeful Jeff Gordon takes Cup pole at Richmond
Sep 6, 2013, 8:01 PM EDT
Jeff Gordon set another new track record for NASCAR's Generation-6 machines this afternoon at Richmond International Raceway, and will start on the pole for tomorrow's Federated Auto Parts 400.
The battle under the lights will be the last shot Gordon has to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup. In order to make the post-season, the winless Gordon – who currently sits 11th in points – needs to either climb into the Top-10 in the Sprint Cup standings or take a victory tomorrow night to grab a Wild Card berth.
Gordon (130.599 mph) will be joined on the front row by Kurt Busch, the driver that is currently 10th in the standings at six points ahead of the four-time Cup champion. Busch turned in a lap at 130.334 mph, as he looks to get his single-car Furniture Row Racing team into the Chase.
Row 2 will feature reigning Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski, who needs a win to stand any hope of making the Chase, and Clint Bowyer. Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin will make up Row 3, followed by Jamie McMurray and Joey Logano in Row 4.
Filling in for Jimmie Johnson after the birth of his second child this morning was Regan Smith, who qualified Johnson's No. 48 machine in 10th place. However, Johnson will still have to start tomorrow night's race from the rear of the field.
For those especially keeping an eye on the Chase hopefuls, here's where they'll be on the grid for tomorrow at RIR:
Jeff Gordon (11th in standings, no wins) – 1st
Kurt Busch (10th in standings, no wins) – 2nd
Brad Keselowski (15th in standings, no wins) – 3rd
Jamie McMurray (16th in standings, no wins) – 7th
Joey Logano (eighth in standings, one win) – 8th
Greg Biffle (ninth in standings, one win) – 9th
Martin Truex Jr. (13th in standings, one win, Wild Card) – 11th
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (seventh in standings, no wins) – 14th
Paul Menard (17th in standings, no wins) – 22nd
Ryan Newman (14th in standings, one win) – 24th

Parker lets rip at officials
Relevant offers
Wellington's vice-like grip on decision-making in Christchurch has left the quake-hit city's local government representatives "politically impotent", Mayor Bob Parker says in his tell-all book.
The book, Ripped Apart: A City in Chaos, hit the book shelves yesterday and reveals for the first time the extent of Parker's frustration with Wellington's interference in Christchurch's affairs.
"From the moment the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act was implemented the Christchurch City Council was, in essence, relegated to a subservient role. It was hard to see strangers from the Wellington bureaucracy take over the roles that we were elected to do," Parker admits.
Further on in the book he says he is in no doubt that much of the "so-called dysfunction" in his council is a result of the overwhelming sense of powerlessness that elected members feel: "In that sense we were like every other citizen in Christchurch: powerless in the face of a massive natural disaster; powerless in the face of large bureaucracies running insurance and repairs; and unable to feel that we were being heard."
Parker has until recently largely maintained a diplomatic silence on the Government's sidelining of the council but he is beginning to speak more openly of the need to wrestle power back into local hands. He has publicly said he wants to take control of the city centre back from Government "sooner rather than later".
Behind the scenes Parker has been clashing with Wellington decision-makers almost since day one, his book shows.
He claims Wellington bureaucrats were unhappy at his dominance of the press conferences during the state of emergency that was put in place in Christchurch immediately after the February 22 quake and wanted to sideline him.
"Conflicts developed between Wellington bureaucrats and me over who would make which announcements. The whole situation reached a crisis when they tried to sideline me and hand me trivia to deliver to the media," Parker reveals.
"The bureaucrats obviously wanted to promote their man. This was how it worked in central government. They lacked sensitivity to the situation we faced in Christchurch. It was our community which had been brought to its knees. People did not want to hear Wellington bureaucrats; they needed a familiar face and voice with which they could identify." Parker says the final straw came when, five minutes before a press conference Civil Defence national controller John Hamilton criticised him to one of his staff. That exchange led to Parker threatening to run parallel press conferences.
It was only then that Wellington backed down.
"What they failed to understand was that the people of Christchurch had elected me to be their representative," Parker says. "Wellington bureaucrats would eventually return to the capital. We would not. We would stay here and endure together, whatever lay ahead. They could not expect to win people's confidence in one or two press conferences. We Cantabrians were all in this together for the long haul; they were only visiting."

With his enchanting adventure "Oz the Great and Powerful," director Sam Raimi eventually manages to blaze his own trail down the Yellow Brick Road while still respecting one of the most adored movies in cinema history.
Movie review: 'Oz the Great and Powerful'
The "Spider-Man" helmer's "Wizard of Oz" origin story stars James Franco ("127 Hours") as Oscar "Oz" Diggs, skirt-chasing illusionist for the two-bit Baum Family Circus, the first of many amusing and subtle references to L. Frank Baum's "Oz" books and the beloved 1939 film.
His former sweetheart Annie (Oscar nominee Michelle Williams) insists Oz has a good heart, but his aggrieved assistant Frank (Zach Braff) and the strongman he's cuckolded (Tim Holmes) would be unlikely to agree. Besides, Oz has no interest in becoming just another good Kansas farmer like Annie's new fiance; he wants to be great — and preferably rich and powerful to boot.
While fleeing the strongman's fury in a hot-air balloon, Oz gets swept away in a fearsome tornado. As the film slowly morphs from black and white to vivid color, the exotically shaped mountains, the enormous musical flowers and the sharp-toothed fairies indicate he isn't in Kansas anymore.
The first person the flimflamming magician encounters in this strange new land is the naive and fetching witch Theodora (Mila Kunis), who desperately wants to be good. She believes Oz has come to fulfill local prophecy about a great wizard bearing the name of the land who would free the people from the tyranny of the wicked witch and become the new king.
Not one to let the truth get in the way of his great and powerful aspirations, Oz lets Theodora escort him to the Emerald City, where he meets her suspicious older sister Evanora (Rachel Weisz), the royal adviser. While Theodora quickly trusts and falls in love with Oz, Evanora suspects he is a fraud and rapidly dispatches him to overthrow the bad witch.
