IheartBerlin celebrates 5 years
The first time I happened to meet the blogosphere personally has been years before. It happened in the holy halls of a fitness center.
Within weights, protein shakes and muscular men, I met Frank and Claudio of IheartBerlin. We shared a weight bench. And it was the beginning of a long lasting friendship.
IheartBerlin celebrates it's 5th birthday today. I am not in Berlin though, which is a shame, since I would have loved to be there too and drink to the honor of IheartBerlin.
The Location for the probably wildest party of this weekend: Naherholung Sternchen, Berolinastr. 7, 10178 Berlin-Mitte
Finally: The right Shirt for an Amish-Funeral
For years, I have been having sleeping problems. Every single night, one question haunts me, keeps me awake and simply leeds my into the already open arms of insanity: What would I wear, in case I am invited to the funeral of a beloved person from the Amish community? You know how it is, with those questions. Everybody has them.
Last night, after a long time, I could sleep (and then correctly: twelve-and-a-half hours).
I was absolutely relieved, because now I now: I would wear a dark stand-up collar. Like this one by OMNIBOYS. Or this one by NORSE PROJECTS.
You can not imagine, how relieved I am. Sometimes it is as easy, this real life in the fake one.

DANDY DIARY X TRACHTEN ANGERMAIER – Oktoberfest Leather Shorts
Preview: Adidas Originals x Pharrell Williams
At the beginning of the year, ADIDAS announced a collaboration together with Pharrell Williams, that shouldn't be a one-season-thing.
The cooperation between the Herzogenaurach-based sports-article producer and the US musician is going to be a fixed thing, beyond a few season, is the declaration. The first pictures – more or less a preview – have been crossing the net today.
Two classics have been dared by Pharrell: the super-star training-jacket with the iconic Adidas-stripes and the Stan Smith – both items are going to be available in red, blue and black.
The jacket will cost about 1000 Dollar, the Stan Smith 150 Dollar. From the 20th of september on, the first pieces of the collaboration will be delivered to selected sneaker-stores, concept-stores and adidas originals flagship stores.

Vinatieri visits the Jaguars in Week 3.
Nicks will try to bounce back Week 3 at Jacksonville.
Wayne visits the Jaguars in Week 3.
Through two games, Hilton has 10 catches for 106 yards and no scores. He visits Jacksonville in Week 3.
Richardson got off to a great start and had 57 rushing yards in the first half. He displayed better burst and was hard to bring down. Predictably, Richardson bogged down after halftime, even coughing up a third-quarter fumble.
Still, Richardson will look to build off this performance Week 3 at Jacksonville.
They'll visit Jacksonville in Week 3.
Bradshaw scored on a 1-yard toss in the first quarter and a 7-yarder in the fourth quarter. He caught all five of his targets for 26 yards and rushed for 70 yards on 13 carries (5.4 ypc).
Bradshaw received 10 more touches Week 2 than he did Week 1. He's up to 10 catches this season and should maintain a prominent role going forward, assuming he avoids injury. He'll visit the Jaguars in Week 3.
Parkey also converted 31- and 23-yard field goals and added three PATs for an 12-point night. He'll face the Redskins in Week 3.

Friday Energy Facts: India is Increasingly Dependent on Imported Fossil Fuels as Demand Continues to Rise
India's dependence on imported fossil fuels rose to 38% in 2012, despite the country having domestic fossil fuel resources. India ranked as the fourth-largest energy consumer in the world in 2011. The country's energy demand continues to climb as a result of its dynamic economic growth and modernization.[read more]

Now, onto Saturday's game, let's talk Utah offense and BYU defense.
First, Utah co-offensive coordinator Dennis Erickson on his quarterback, Travis Wilson. Erickson has been enthusiastic about Wilson's development from the start and Wilson's performance against Oregon State hasn't changed his opinion.
"The biggest thing is he is such a competitor and a will to win in that football game and continued to make plays with his legs, arm, whatever so I have always had great respect for him," Erickson said. "He is really taken over the leadership of this football team so I am excited about his and our future with him at quarterback."
Like Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, Erickson acknowledged Wilson had too many turnovers but noted they weren't all his fault.
Anyone who watched that Oregon State game had to notice Wilson was more assertive. The thing to look for this week is whether he was that way because he wanted to win the game to honor a friend, or if it was the result of his growing confidence.
Personally, I believe it was a little of both. It sure seems Wilson has gone a long ways in answering any doubts as to his leadership abilities.
And for some video viewing, here is a clip of Erickson discussing BYU's defense.

PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Mah Siew Keong does not want to be drawn into a public spat with Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P. Ramasamy over the issue of Hindu endowment boards, which he now oversees as a Minister in the Prime Minister's Department.
However, Mah said he would work with Ramasamy on the boards' issues.
Ramasamy, who chairs the Penang Hindu Endowment Board, was critical of Mah and the Federal government, saying it was an insult for a non-Hindu to oversee the running of the Hindu endowment boards.
Barisan Nasional's Indian representatives raised no objection with MIC strategy director Datuk S. Vell Paari pointing out that Ramasamy, a DAP leader, did not kick up a fuss when the Selangor government appointed PKR representative Dr Xavier Jeyakumar, a Christian, to oversee Hindu temples.
Mah, who won the May parliamentary by-election in Teluk Intan, said he had maintained his silence over Ramasamy's criticism to avoid politicising the issue.
"It is more vital to focus on the issue at hand and contribute to the betterment of the Hindu community," he told reporters here yesterday.
"The by-laws point out that the minister tables the board's accounts and (annual) reports in Parliament. I think the chairman of the board should be a Hindu because he runs the day-to-day activities," said Mah.
"As for me, I do not have executive powers but merely ensure things are run smoothly. So, I think (my appointment) is okay," he said.
"For instance, Tamil schools are run by Indian headmasters but the (Education) minister does not necessarily need to be an Indian."
Mah, the Gerakan president, said he would meet Ramasamy, who is Perai assemblyman and Batu Kawan MP, after studying the scope of his portfolio.
Mah's other duties in the Cabinet are to supervise the Malaysian Innovation Agency, organisations dealing with nuclear energy, the Malaysian Industry Government Group for High Technology (Might), and looking after the welfare of Chinese petty traders and hawkers.

The Economist explains: The rise and fall of the interrobang
The Economist explains
HAMID KARZAI could be forgiven for wishing he had stayed in Lisbon after the NATO conference. His return to Kabul has coincided with a blizzard of bad news.
First there was the humiliating revelation that the president had been duped by an enterprising conman who had come to Kabul posing as a senior Taliban leader keen to engage in peace talks. Mr Karzai and his aides held clandestine talks with a man they believed to be Taliban's second-most-powerful leader. But their mullah, who at one stage was flown to Kabul on a NATO plane, was an impostor who pocketed the cash he was given. However much Mr Karzai may wish to end the war, the other side is not interested in talking.
The election results announced on November 24th, two months after the polling, might hurt him more. The opposition gained ground but much worse was the wide-scale disenfranchisement of the Pushtuns, the country's largest ethnic group, through rampant fraud and poor security. The Taliban draw support from the Pushtuns' fear that other groups enjoy too much sway in the new Afghanistan.
There had been signs that Mr Karzai would be unhappy with the results. Afghan officials say he ordered the Independent Election Commission (IEC) to alter its tally. The IEC owes its strength to foreigners' insistence that it be made stronger than it was during last year's presidential election, when it turned a blind eye to fraud committed in Mr Karzai's favour.
This time it showed its teeth, disqualifying 24 candidates who between them took 10% of the available seats. They included powerful allies of Mr Karzai and, complains the opposition, powerful opponents too. In all the commission chucked out some 1.3m of 5.6m votes cast.
Mr Karzai may not have finished meddling. His attorney general has threatened to investigate the IEC, alleging that its members were bribed. For weeks diplomats have feared that Mr Karzai would annul the election, thus guaranteeing months of wrenching constitutional crisis.
Mr Karzai is staying his hand because the IEC has yet to certify the astonishing results from Ghazni, a Pushtun-majority constituency where preliminary counts gave all 11 seats to the Hazara minority, traditionally at odds with the Pushtuns. The IEC's chairman ascribed the Ghazni delay to "technical problems". But with the stakes so high, it is unlikely Mr Karzai will be satisfied with anything less than a political fix.

Vincent Brome
Old-fashioned 'journeyman of letters'
Tuesday 26 October 2004
Five foot seven and so light of frame any women could easily lift him off his feet, Vincent Brome was an autodidact of infectious energy. He wrote 37 novels, historical studies and biographies, all in the North Library of the British Museum, which served as his study for most of his life and where, when asked, he would say he was educated.
Vincent Brome, writer: born London 14 July 1910; died London 16 October 2004.
Five foot seven and so light of frame any women could easily lift him off his feet, Vincent Brome was an autodidact of infectious energy. He wrote 37 novels, historical studies and biographies, all in the North Library of the British Museum, which served as his study for most of his life and where, when asked, he would say he was educated.
As a member of the British Library's Advisory Committee from 1975 to 1982 he vigorously supported moving its great collection of books to King's Cross against the wishes of many irate readers, and knowing that the move would end his life's routine; he would soon not be strong enough to walk the extra quarter-mile to the new library from his Great Ormond Street flat.
"Book or thesis?" he would ask as you waited in line for your books under the lofty old dome. If your response was as genial as his question he invited you to lunch, which he took in a nearby canteen, the last being in Senate House. At five to one he would circle the Reading Room to gather his flock. Non-readers regularly joined what came to be called Vincent's table - scientists, psychiatrists, lawyers, art dealers, journalists, critics, even the odd businessman.
The food was unimportant; it was conversation that fuelled the afternoon's work. Brome was the catalyst in these noisy debates, his only rule the inadmissibility of anecdotal evidence; on this point he was fierce. If you passed the test, you could count on two hours of lively discussion any day you turned up. He was modest about his own work and enthusiastic about everyone else's. And he was generous with introductions to the literary and art gatherings he frequented in the evenings, and with invitations to dinner at the Savile Club.
Born in south London in 1910, Brome had been a nervous child, his only remembered success at Streatham Grammar School the publication in its magazine of two instalments of a serial called "The Sign of the Golden Cross". When the third was disallowed because it was said to be too good for a boy to have written he determined to prove his teacher wrong.
But his father, a solicitor in the legal department of an American can company, did not want a writer for a son and sent him to work in the City at a tea broker's in Mincing Lane when he failed to earn a scholarship to university. The high office stools and invoices only stiffened his resolve and at 18, with enough money in his pocket to survive for one month, he exchanged home and work for a sleazy room in Bernard Street by Russell Square, where he began what he called "the great experiment". He remembered the acceptance of his first story and the £10 that accompanied it as the ultimate ecstasy.
Harry Leggett, who edited Twenty Story Magazine, knew talent when he saw it. He offered Brome 50 guineas to write another story and became his mentor, introducing him to the semi-Bohemian life he would continue to live, and to the British Library.
Before Brome turned 20 it was clear to him that he would starve writing only the intellectual novels he felt himself capable of, so he wrote articles by day and fiction by night. At one point he was editor of Menu Magazines, at another assistant editor of Medical World, and for a while during the Second World War worked in the features department of the Ministry of Information.
Over the years he contributed to most of London's leading newspapers and journals, wrote plays for the BBC (in 1962 The Sleepless One was produced in Edinburgh), and broadcast his opinions whenever he was asked. His torrent of talk was so persuasive and polished it could have been published verbatim.
His novels always began with the spark of an idea he wanted to explore in fiction. In the early years their themes reflected his attachment to the Fabian Society and the Labour Party, where he made many lifelong friends. Michael Young was among them, and Brome worked briefly for him in the party's research department after Labour's 1945 victory. In later years Brome's novels became more psychological, but he never lost his early concern for the displaced or stopped fictionalising what he found socially problematic.
He was better known for his biographies. The first three also grew from his socialist roots: Clement Attlee (1947), H.G. Wells (1951) - the young Brome's hero along with Shaw - and Aneurin Bevan (1953). Freud and His Early Circle (1967) began a series concerning psychoanalysis and analytical psychology: Jung: man and myth (1978), Havelock Ellis: philosopher of sex (1981), and Ernest Jones: Freud's alter ego (1982). He then circled back to literary men with J.B. Priestley (1988) and Samuel Pepys ( The Other Pepys, 1992).
In his heyday he wrote a book almost every year, slowing down only close to the end of the century. It was a gruelling pace but he was happy for the work. In his Confessions of a Writer (1970) he called himself "a journeyman of letters". He knew he was a dying breed, an old-fashioned man of letters in a world where biography and literary criticism was being taken over by academics. Sometimes he thought he would like to have been one himself; how lucky his students would have been.
He never married, although he once bought a wedding ring. He called himself "a serial monogamist" and shared his life with many talented women. In the evening he was always ready to walk out with a friend to a party, the theatre, the Savile, his favourite fish restaurant, or just to Russell Square. Whenever you visited him after he became confined to his flat at the age of 94, the same wonderfully excited voice still summoned you through the speaker beside his bell to "come up, come up" for a long talk. In his last days he was cared for by his friend and literary executor, Sarah Jardine-Willoughby.

'Time cloak' can hide data - but not the fact there's something to hide
Holes created in light can hide data beyond the wit of any thief, who won't even know it's there thanks to the latest temporal cloaking technique. Or so we're told. The idea here is to split light, with its wavering signal, into component wavelengths, then offset those wavelengths such that they cancel each other out. Anyone …
"hit them until they tell you"
Reminds me of the xkcd skit on the same subject:
Re: "hit them until they tell you"
Naw, that is too primitive. Didn't you listen to Bush the Lesser? Enhanced interrogation techniques will get everything.
As long as you wear a white hat, you're good.
Re: the work [...] follows on from a 2010 experiment
I think you meant to say: follows on from the concept as proposed by McCall et al in J. Optics (2010/11), followed up by an experiment at Cornell (published in Nature 2012).
And re "but when it comes to security the ability to drop one's data into a time hole isn't quite as useful as it sounds cool" -- what, sounding cool isn't a useful thing? I mean, it got you to report on it, didn't it? :-)
Re: Time Hole
As Time Holes are so rare and therefore have yet to be studied in any great detail, would it not make the communications significantly harder to intercept when routed via Nodnol?
Silly question, but...
...if I hide something in this temporal hole, and that means no-one can find or see it, how do I get it back again later?
Re: Silly question, but...
It's an illusion - it (the event) hasn't gone anywhere, it just doesn't get seen.
Prior art
"Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so." -- Slartibartfast
Clearly, this is primitive work on bistromathics and/or a Somebody Else's Problem Field.
Re: Prior art
Ford Prefect, I think you'll find.
Re: Prior art
Obviously a primitive SEP field.
Could this be used as a stenographic technique in which one (presumably encrypted) message was sent using the regular signal and another message was dropped in using this method... or did I completely misunderstand how it works?
White hole spewing time engines dead air supply low advice please.
So what is it?

"loved the way my wedding invitations came out. I was surprised how beautiful the gold ink looked. also the paper was perfect and the design truly is elegant and soooo much better in person than on the screen."
"i coult not even begin to describe how beautiful the invites came out! brilliant experience all aroung the quality is amazing for the price they look so expensive , ive had soooooooooooooo many compliments! great work wedding paper divas, will be ordering from you again!"
"we chose the navy design. i was very impressed with the quality of paper, it was just thick enough to feel like a special invitation. the printing was perfect. my fiance was very particular with the wording at the bottom, we changed to "drinks, dinner, and dancing to follow" and he insisted on the oxford comma, and they edited it for us and they turned out perfect. very pleased with the quick delivery."
"I purchased these invitations, but had them changed from a wedding invitation to an engagement invitation. I was also able to have a line added so that I could write people's names in. They turned out just perfect. Everybody loved them. I will defiantly be using wedding paper divas for my wedding invitations etc."
"Extremely happy with the service. They specifically put you with one artist to custom design your order and are able to get ahold of easily so that you are not going from person to person. I sent them a picture of the bridesmaids dresses for colour and they matched the invitations perfectly. I honestly believe these are the nicest wedding invitations I have yet to see. Overwhelmed with appreciation for the effort put into these cards. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas. Thank you Janette who worked on my invitations, they are very well done and are very specific to what I was looking for!"

Quentin Tarantino certainly took full cinematic license and ran with it in his Nazi-bashing big-screen extravaganza "Inglourious Basterds," but as Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman explains, some people are getting pretty fired up about the film's convention-busting climax, worrying that it could lead impressionable future generations astray about what really happened at the end of World War II.

Sure, it's despicable. But it's also a bit gratifying to see how low Big Oil has to stoop to try to squelch Al Gore's message.

Question & Answers
Overall tournament? (Closed)
To unlock Holland, you must win an "overall tournament" without using the dash. I've tried a normal tournament and I've tried a multiplayer tournament but neither of them seems to work. What is this "overall tournament" or what could I possibly do wrong?
Answer from: Nick
I have the same problem. I just figured that it's probably a flaw in the game..
Answer from: jezty
There is nothing such as overall tournament it's normal tournament. You must beat the tournaments equal of the overall of the winning of you of tournaments like: let's say you have beaten the tournaments 20 times then you should beat the tournament 10 times without using dash but I will collect points and buy him because I beat the tournament 390 times and I can't beat the tournament 195 times using dash it's impossibru..
Answer from: Chibi
@Jezty, doesn't it rise then? Like if you've won it 20 times doesn't it go to 21 after that?
Answer from: ur friend
Dude i won 39 tournaments and i have won well over 20 tournaments without dashing so that a load of crap
Answer from: jezty
@chibi then you should beat the tornament by the number of yout your winnings like:20 times with dash 20 without dash 40 times total
Answer from: Captain jack
My guess is that the next update will have an overall tournament that will consist of more rounds than 3.
Answer from: Joliman
I know the Update is first coming in 1month
Answer from: bigfoot
Win a tournament without dash (only works after the update with netherlands unlock fix) it is just a normal tournament

Answer from: Isak

Zack Files #20: Zack Files 20: How I Went from Bad to Verseby Dan Greenburg
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Zack goes on a class trip, gets an insect bit, and suddenly can't speak a single word that isn't in rhyme. Talking like a modern-day Shakespeare may be fun at first, but not when you can't turn it off! What could be verse? How did this happen? And how can Zack make it stop?

Now he has turned his considerable talent to writing an original new series of books for a younger audience.

The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your Self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you…
Love after Love -- Derek Walcott
(Sea Grapes)
At this month's Capricorn Full Moon, instead of looking at yourself in the mirror of our patriarchal society, look in the shining mirror of your soul. The Cancer Sun says, 'Love yourself!' Love your emotional body so it can heal from the wounds of patriarchy's expectations of who you should be.
This Capricorn full Moon will shine its light on Cancer's oceans, illuminating the depths of who we really are. It's time to create a society that values our uniqueness rather than our rugged individualism, that nurtures our souls rather than a small group's pocketbooks and that believes in the power of transformative love rather than the power of power.
Share a free sample 2015 Love Forecast. Try a preview of your one-week Love Forecast! Make the most out of your love life in 2015 and beyond!
This full Moon becomes part of the Cardinal Grand Cross that's been affecting us all year. Pluto stands with the Moon in Capricorn opposite the Sun and Jupiter in Cancer. Crossing that opposition at right angles is Uranus in Aries opposite Mars, Ceres, Vesta and the Moon's north node in Libra. Mars is calling in the Divine Feminine, the Moon is breaking free of patriarchal constraints and Jupiter adds its spiritual support to the nurturing Sun in Cancer.
As you can see, this usually staid and conservative Capricorn full Moon is bring up new feelings and new insights. It's time to go with them. The old is dying and we have to let it go. Until we each individually let go of the outworn beliefs that upheld patriarchy, it will never die.
It's time to look to the future with hope and imagination.
Until next time,
Sweet Dreams!

Takoma Central located at 235 Carroll Street, NW
Last week a reader wrote in:
"Glen's Garden Market which has a location in Dupont Circle will be joining Busboys and Poets in the new Takoma Central project."
Now word comes from the Takoma Listserv:
"Apparently the developer didn't think they would succeed and they [Glen's Garden Market] finally had to pull out, now they have a new partnership with a developer in Shaw who is basically going to build them a new store."
Thanks to a reader for sending from Takoma.
6937-6939 Laurel Ave
From a press release:
"Jeff Black, Chef/Owner of Black Restaurant Group and Chef/Partner Danny Wells have begun offering weekend brunch service at their Takoma Park restaurant, Republic.
The menu, available here, starts with 'cures for your ailments' including a charred tomato Bloody Mary, a collaboration between bar manager Brett Robison and Chef Danny Wells. After lamenting the dearth of flavorful tomatoes in the winter, the two decided to experiment with grilling the tomatoes on the wood-burning grill in the kitchen, and ended up with a smoky, charred, flavorful tomato to puree and serve as their bloody mary base. House-made arbol and guajillo pepper chili paste, fresh lime and lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, and house-made celery salt round out the bloody mary ($10), which is traditionally served with vodka. The addition of Old Bay spiced Chesapeake shrimp takes it up a notch to make a Rena Maria ($12). A Bloody Maria ($10) with tequila can also be enjoyed, along with Mimosas and bellinis, which are available for $7 with fresh squeezed orange or grapefruit juice, and peach or mango puree. For those looking for a cocktail, The Localist, made with Green Hat gin, BeeGeorge local honey, lemon juice, and a citrus flame ($11) makes for a restorative start to the day. (more…)

Brightwood/Takoma DC, located directly north of Petworth, directly east of 16th Street Heights, and directly south of Silver Spring, is the NW counterpart neighborhood for buyers also looking at detached houses in the NE neighborhood of Brookland. Although the comments in the original Good Deal or Not (GDoN) post garnered at least one "not an easy walk to the Metro" comment, these neighborhoods offer more space indoors and out compared to locations closer in to downtown.
Detached homes in this area range from Sears kit bungalows to Four Squares to grand Victorian mansions to unique stone Tudor-ish houses. List prices in the past six months have ranged from $189,000. (safe bet it went much higher and for cash) on up to the high $700's. The area is well known by swimmers and triathletes for the easy access to the Takoma Pool at 300 Van Buren St NW. The development at the Georgia Ave Walter Reed Army Medical Center campus will have a major impact on the area. There is already a recently update Safeway in the vicinity (at Piney Branch and Georgia), and one of the brand new Walmarts just opened, as well.
The listing agent was Brian Cusick of Central Properties, LLC. The purchaser was represented by Vanessa Patterson with Realty Associates.
