Exploding Lineage! (2012)
Queer Rebels (SF Bay) is thrilled to present Exploding Lineage! Queer of color histories in experimental media for the 25th MIX NYC festival. 17 filmmakers. 14 films. Nearly all NYC premieres.
Art is our resilience. Experimentation is our queerly colored history. From the explosion of energy during the Harlem Renaissance, to the poetry carved in the walls of Angel Island, to revolutionary self-love, these films juxtapose the legacies that we inherit alongside the spaces we carve out for ourselves today.
Weds, Nov 14th at 7pm. Tickets $12
(Facebook Event: http://www.facebook.com/events/478965345469018/)
HOKUM subverts the gaze by asking, 'what does it mean to take pleasure in viewing the Black female body?' WEEP WILLOW: THE BLUES FOR LADY DAY reveals the chilling biography of Billie Holiday and the emotional landscape behind her voice. The energy and brilliance of the Queer Harlem Renaissance shines in BULLDAGGER WOMEN AND SISSY MEN. Nostalgia mixes with QUEER ORIGINS to create experimental animation, and electric 60's choreography abounds in FREE JAZZ. Continuing legacies, I KNOW MY SOUL, based on a poem by Claude McKay, proves that the way to self-love is through self-knowledge. HOMESCHOOL is a lyrical exploration of the forced assimilation of a Korean adoptee. FAN CHRISTY reinterprets Faen Christy, reclaiming culture via karaoke. Looking to the past, BLOODLINES is an experimental ode to immigrants detained on Angel Island during the Chinese Exclusion Act. ERZULIE'S TEARS are haunting, and saturated by the spirit of the Haitian Voudoun goddess of love. FML explores the pleasurable lament of failure, discontent, and loss in creating the hyper racial and gendered self on stage. Honoring our ancestors, NO LEGACY LET GO takes a snapshot of Queer Harlem through the stories of Imani Rashid, translating them into poetic and musical form. RENAISSANCE REDUX continues the testimony of Harlem Elders through the words of G-pop and Nana. Closing the evening, IN MY OWN HANDS proves that every second of joy is a revolution.

Jason Allemann alias JK Brickworks hat dem ikonischen 1984 Apple Macintosh Commercial ein zeitgemäßes Realitäts-Update in Lego verpasst:
A re-envisioning of the classic 1984 Apple Macintosh commercial to perhaps reflect on how some things may have changed since then.
"Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology—where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests purveying contradictory truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death, and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!"

It's no longer time for autism awareness.
When we live in a world where functioning labels are used to either deny services or to deny agency, we've passed the need for autism awareness. When we live in a world where abusive therapies are used to train children into being compliment, that ship has sailed. When we live in a world where only the spoken voice is "good enough", there is no longer any use for us to be aware of autism. We're plenty aware.
I am twenty-eight years old. To the outside eye, I am deemed high functioning. I live on my own with my cat, Athena. Even though I live on my own I require extensive supports. I'm not able to take public transit – partially because the Metro isn't disability friendly but also it isn't cognitively accessible to me. I can't keep straight what side of the road to wait on. I often would miss my bus stop. The noises, sights, and smells would overwhelm and overload me. I require PCA care to help with basic tasks as washing dishes and making supper.
I am told to stop stimming. That I repeat myself a lot. That I loop. That I obsess over things. That I need to stop with my more so-called childish interests and be a grown up. But what is grown up, anyway? Isn't it all arbitrary? What's wrong with me liking what I like? It doesn't hurt you if I still enjoy watching certain shows or listening to certain songs as an adult. It doesn't hurt you if my stuffed animal travels everywhere with me. So why are you so hung up about these things?
The truth is, after over two decades, I've finally started accepting myself. I've accepted that I like wearing tutus in public for no other reason than it's frilly and fluffy. I've decided I like being Autistic. It doesn't mean I'm one of the lucky ones or that my struggles aren't very real. It doesn't mean that I am not any more or any less Autistic than anyone else – I just am. Accepting myself as Autistic was incredibly freeing.
Plenty of people are aware of me. Plenty of people are aware that autism exists. It's time to stop using fear tactics. It's time to stop making us fit into neat little boxes and telling us that we're missing pieces. We aren't. None of us are. We all have voices – but you have to choose to listen to us. We all have hopes, dreams, plans, and wishes – yet you have to choose to accept them.
I am tired of you being aware of autism. I am tired of you claiming "well, isn't all awareness good?" No, no it isn't. Everyone is aware – yet so few are accepting. Autism has always existed – we just now have a name for it. Being Autistic is who I am. Stop being aware of me. It's time for you to accept us. We have accepted ourselves.
The ball is now in your court.

The electric current in Thailand is 220 Volt AC (50 cycles) throughout the country. Travelers with shavers, tape recorders and other appliances should carry a plug-adapter kit. The better hotels will make available 110 Volt transformers.
Though tap water in Bangkok is technically safe to drink, the plumbing in certain buildings may make water inadvisable to ingest. Furthermore, travelers' unaccustomed to otherwise harmless bacteria in the water could get upset stomachs from drinking ice that is technically 'safe' to consume. Bottled water in Thailand is recommended as it is cheap and ubiquitous and most ice is safe to consume as it is produced with potable water, with cube ice generally safer than crushed ice.
Fuel for cars in Thailand is predominately unleaded petrol, sold by the liter. Bigger vehicles, such as vans, use diesel. Both are readily available at petrol stations throughout the country. Prices range from 20 to 30 baht per liter. Most service stations accept Visa and MasterCard, and generally close by 10pm or midnight.
Thailand uses the metric system and road distances and speed limits are posted in kilometers and kilometers per hour.
The Thailand postal service is efficient and reliable with branches in most major towns throughout the Kingdom. Thailand post offices are open M-F 8am-4:30pm and Sa-Su 9am-1pm. However, The Central GPO in Bangkok, located on New Road, is open until 6pm M-F and Sa-Su 9am-1pm. All Thai post offices are closed on public holidays, though most major hotels can arrange to mail letters and parcels on your behalf. In addition to domestic and international mail services, both land and air, standard and registered, the Thailand postal service also provide telegram service.

Thailand uses the metric system for all weights and measurements, with the exception of area, which Thais divide into wa and rai.

Electrical outlets in Thailand are charged to 220v at 50 cycles per second, which is compatible with appliances from the U.K. but not those from the US and many other nations. While most computer cables have adaptors for voltage, visitors from the U.S. and those not on the 220/50 v. will have to bring adapters to run most other appliances. Outlets in Thailand generally feature flat, two pronged plugs, though some feature holes for round plug ends. Few outlets feature three holes (grounded outlets) so it is often necessary to have a three to two prong adapter for using notebook computers in Thailand.

Thailand hotels are some of the finest in the world, whether they are five star luxury spa retreats or quaint family-run beachfront bungalows. There is a hotel in Thailand for every type of traveler on every budget. That said, the best prices are during Thailand's off-peak season (May – Aug), while the most expensive prices are typically during the cool season (Dec – Feb). Whether your accommodation choice is a homestay with local villagers, a guesthouse in a backpacker district, a beach bungalow, or a five star hotel in Thailand, unless you have booked ahead, settle for nothing less than the warmest "land of smiles" hospitality.
Back to top
The Thai phone system is both modern and widespread, with comprehensive coverage for cell phones and reliable pay phones found throughout the kingdom. Purchasing a second-hand Thai phone is inexpensive and convenient, and calling from Thailand on a public phone is easy with a phone card available at most convenience stores. Emergency numbers are often three or four digit numbers, including Tourist Police, which is 1155.
Back to top
Thailand is not an easy place to visit for people with reduced mobility or other physical challenges. The larger resorts and tourist attractions provide facilities for disabled people, but in rural areas public transport is limited and often inaccessible to wheelchair users.
Moving around the city can be extremely difficult for disabled people. The streets and pavements are uneven and few buildings provide ramps and handrails to aid disabled access. Guide dogs are rare and there are few audio signals for the blind at traffic crossings.
Nonetheless, a project has been announced by the Bangkok governor along with the Disabled People International Asia-Pacific Region to ensure that Bangkok pavements are easily navigable for those with reduced mobility. A commitment has also been made to make public transport more accessible.
Public transport is not usually equipped to facilitate disabled access. Public buses are inaccessible to wheelchair users. Disabled people are usually forced to travel through the cities by taxi. However, few taxi drivers are experienced or trained in helping a wheelchair-bound customer into and out of their cars.
Sky Train (BTS) stations in Bangkok are on multiple levels, with ticketing on a level above the street and trains on upper levels, making access difficult for wheelchair users. At the moment only five of the stations provide disabled access. However, there are plans for elevators to be built at other stations.
The national rail network has no special facilities for disabled passengers but assistance will be given to those who ask.
The Bangkok MRT underground (Metro) has better disabled access and all of the stations have elevators. Assistance will be given to disabled passengers if requested. On the trains there are locks for wheelchairs.
At Suvarnabhumi Airport a lack of elevators and disabled toilet facilities makes it difficult for wheelchair users, though assistance is easy to procure.

Clemson vs Syracuse live stream: how to watch today's NCAA 2019 online from anywhere
We're into Week 3 of the 2019 college football season. Clemson remains No. 1 in the polls, though both the AP Poll and Coaches Poll also saw LSU rise to the top 5. Check out the rankings below.No. 20 Washington State is the first top 25 team in action this week, as it plays Houston on Friday.
College football's Week 3 schedule might lack some of the pop from Week 2, but it still will bring some interesting matchups, including No. 9 Florida at Kentucky, Stanford at No. 17 UCF, No. 22 Iowa at Iowa State and No. 24 USC at BYU.Elsewhere, No. 1 Clemson visits Syracuse, while No. 2 Alabama is on the road at South Carolina.Check out betting odds and score predictions against the spread for 22 of the top Week 3 games from The Oregonian/OregonLive's Ken Goe, Sean Meagher and Joel Odom.

Watch the Clemson vs Syracuse game online from outside your country (or in a blackout)
Watching this game from the US, UK, Canada or Australia? We'll tell you how to catch the NCAA game further down in the article.
But if you're somewhere else in the world – or if a coverage blackout is stopping you from watching in the US – then there's still a way you can live stream Clemson vs Syracuse online (and you don't even have to slum it with a grainy, illegal feed you've found on Reddit). Instead you could use a VPN – or Virtual Private Network – to change the IP address to one in a different state or country which does have a stream. And it's not even hard to do.
We've tested over 100 VPNs to try and settle on the best and we think that ExpressVPN is the undisputed champ. It's fast, secure and compatible with loads of devices (including Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, etc). You can even try it for 30 days for free. That's why Express takes all the plaudits.
Sign up for ExpressVPN for 12 months now and you'll get 49% off the usual price as well as an extra 3 months FREE. Great value for such an excellent service.
From there, you simply open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location – it's super easy to do. Choose any country showing a live NCAA stream and watch as if you were in that country.
How to watch the Clemson vs Syracuse in the US
If you live in the US and have a television, you'll be able to watch this NCAA game as it airs on NBC. The network will show the game at 8.20pm ET / 5.20pm PT but you can also stream it on your mobile devices with the NBC Sports App.
Not interested in purchasing an expensive cable subscription just to watch the NCAA?

Can I watch with the NCAA Game Pass?
Well it's a no and a yes. The NCAA Game Pass in the US will only let you watch a replay of the game, but not the live action.
Interestingly, it's a different story with an International NCAA Game Pass where all 256 regular season games are being shown absolutely live…shame you can't officially get access to that if you and your laptop's IP address is in the US.
Other ways cord cutters can stream NCAA live online

YouTubeTV $40 per month – YouTubeTV gives you access to CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN but just like with Hulu with Live TV, there is no NFL & NCAA Network.

In addition to the three shooting incidents that unfolded in the US on Wednesday, the Port of Charleston's Wando terminal was temporarily closed last night after authorities received word that there was a dirty bomb aboard a container ship.
Officials with the Coast Guard say federal and state authorities are continuing to investigate a potential threat which was reported at the Wando Terminal Wednesday night.
Coast Guard officials say the FBI is investigating a report of a "dirty bomb" aboard a vessel.
A dirty bomb is composed of conventional explosives and radioactive material.
According to emergency officials, no radiation has been found at this time.
A report by the Coast Guard states that at 8 p.m. authorities were made aware of a potential threat in a container aboard the vessel Maersk Memphis.
As SHTFplan.com's Mac Slavo noted, though no additional information about the dirty bomb had been made available by officials last night, such a device detonated in a high population density area like Charleston could spew a deadly radioactive substance into the air, potentially leading to thousands of deaths and significant environmental damage to the fall out area.
In 2015 the Federal government in conjunction with the U.S. military, State and local authorities conducted a variety of emergency drills including Operation Northern Exposure, which was designed to simulate a dirty bomb disaster and its immediate aftermath.
In 2016 the Obama administration highlighted a dirty bomb as the most likely nuclear or radiological terrorist threat faced by the United States.
But after scanning and clearing four shipping containers on a Maersk-owned ship, the Coast Guard has lifted the temporary safety zone around the terminal, and announced that the port has returned to normal operation.
The source of the information has been detained for questioning.
"Unified Command determines no existing threat to the port. Terminal will reopen and safety zone has been lifted," the Coast Guard said on Twitter.
#update Unified Command determines no existing threat to the port. Terminal will reopen & safety zone has been lifted.— USCGSoutheast (@USCGSoutheast) June 15, 2017

How Do I Measure & Calculate Bodyfat?
How Do I Measure & Calculate Bodyfat?
The word 'Fat' often comes with a load of negative connotations, but as any nutritionist will tell you it is an important part of the human diet.
However, as 64% of adults in the UK are overweight or obese, people in general seem to overestimate its importance.
Body fat (or adipose tissue) is used mainly to store lipids, which provide the body with energy. As such some endurance athletes may eat foods high in fat prior to a long race or event in order to store as much energy as possible to draw upon quickly.
Certain people may find themselves being classed as technically overweight or even obese despite having a very low percentage of body fat.
Power lifters and bodybuilders find this happens quite often because of the size and density of their muscles offset with their height in calculating their BMI.
This is because the BMI formula 'BMI = (Weight in Pounds / (Height in inches x Height in inches) x 703)' makes no consideration for body composition or ratio of muscle to fat.
It is rare to find Athletes at the highest levels of competitive physical activity that 'look fat' but a peak beneath the hood will show that whilst svelte and lean, these individuals have painstakingly calculated the precise percentage their bodies need to perform optimally.
Optimal level of fat ranges
This optimal level of fat ranges greatly depending on: sex, age, height and, of course, the type of sport the Athlete competes in.
Everyone's body is different and to a degree needs a different balance of muscle and fat, with athletes, this balance can be the deciding factor between a winning and losing performance as such it is paramount to keep it in check.
Male athletes body fat percentage tends to average around 6-13% and women's between around 14-20% (although women in general store more body fat than men do, biologically).
Though people can survive and thrive at lower body fats than that.
Unlike your BMI which can be found through a simple formula, it is much more difficult to calculate precise body fat percentage at home without the bioelectric impedance analysis or hydrostatic density testing you could get in certain centres, but this is not to say they are not options that can be used.
There are however estimations that can be made by measuring the circumference of limbs and trunk and running some calculations through a calculator.
Although these are going to be rough estimate and not as reliable as actual reading you could get from visiting a professional.
But below we have listed some methods that you can use to find a close enough estimation to the level you are at, so you know what changes need to be made.
Body Fat Calipers
Body fat calipers measure skinfolds to see how much fat is layered underneath the skin.
The numbers found from the caliper are then used in an equation to estimate your body density and also body fat percentage.
It is important to remember that Body Fat Calipers are an estimation.
They are not going to track your body fat percentage to 0.001% of the actual number, but what they do is give you a number that you can work with, and also calculate your progress in accordance to this number.
As long as you can use this number to track your body fat percentage, and see whether this number is consistently going up or down in relation to the physical exercise that you are doing, then you will be fine.
For many people, using a body fat caliper will be the cheapest and most effective way to measure your body fat percentage. A caliper only costs a few pounds, and does not require a complex calculation.
Charts can be found online with numbers pre entered to help you with your estimations.
How Do I Use Calipers To Workout Calculate Bodyfat?
Personal Body Fat Calipers are easy to use in the privacy of your home, with superior accuracy and reliability.
Since the majority of fat on the body is located directly under the skin, a very efficient and practical way to measure your body fat percentage is skinfold measurement – the scientific approach to the time-honored "pinch an inch" method.
The Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Tester is a precision instrument which has been shown in clinical studies to be closer in accuracy to the "gold standard" underwater weighing than any of the more elaborate methods of measuring body fat (without the inconvenience, expense, trained personnel, and lack of privacy these methods entail).
So whether you choose to use the Personal Body Fat Tester privately or with the help of someone else, just follow the simple steps below – it's as easy as ONE, TWO, THREE.
Step 1 The site you will use for skinfold measurement is the suprailliac (approximately one inch above the right hipbone, see figure1).
Step 2 While standing, firmly pinch the suprailliac skinfold between your left thumb and forefinger, see figures 2 and 3.
Place the jaws of the Personal Body Fat Tester over the skinfold, while continuing to hold the skinfold with the left hand, see figure 4.
Step 3 Press with the thumb where indicated on the Personal Body Fat Tester until you feel a slight click.
The slide member will automatically stop at the correct measurement, see figure 5. After reading your measurement, return the slide member to the far right starting position.
Repeat three times and use the average as your measurement.
Refer to the body fat interpretation chart to determine your body fat percentage and what it means.
Hydrostatic Weighing
For those of you who don't mind getting a little wet, Hydrostatic weighing may be for you.
Also known as underwater weighing, Hydrostatic weighing compares your normal body weight when not in water, to your body when you are underwater.
The two different numbers taken from your weight outside of water and your weight underwater are then compared to each other and a analysts can then calculate your density.
From here, the number provided is then used to estimate your body fat percentage.
One of the advantages of hydrostatic weighing is that it is extremely accurate, and is used by many industries and laboratories for professional athletes.
Unfortunately, unless you have access to one, you will most likely have to find a university or sports science centre where you can use their equipment, which is far more expensive than a body fat caliper.
Bioelectrical Impedance
Fancy names aside, bioelectrical Impedance is another method of measuring your body fat percentage.
Bioelectrical Impedance scales send electrical impulses through your body and measures how quickly those impulses return.
Depending on the response time to how quickly those impulses are returned, your body fat percentage can be calculated.
This is due to the fact that muscle contains a high content of water, which means it is highly conductive, whereas fat has a much lower water content, meaning that it is not highly conductive.
Lean tissue will therefore conduct electrical impulses at a faster rate than fatty tissue, thus meaning a faster response time usually indicates a leaner physique.
Because Bioelectrical Impedance testing in based on body water balance, sometimes the level of hydration in your body can directly impact the level of accuracy.
DEXA Scan
Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (what a mouthful) is known in some industries as the new standard for measuring body fat and also body fat percentage.
A DEXA scan is based on a three parted model that separates the body into three different sections: total body mineral, fat tissue mass and fat free.
A DEXA places subjects under X ray beams of changing velocities and is also used not just to measure body fat percentage, but also bone mineral density.
A machine passed over the body beams, X rays onto the subject, and by measuring how each beam is absorbed, technicians can gain information into your body fat percentage.
DEXA also allows for analysis of how body fat is distributed, and so you can accurately calculate which parts of your body have a higher percentage of body fat than the other.
They all work
What can be gained from all of this is that all these methods are effective ways for you to measure your body fat percentage.
From simple body fat calipers to a Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry scan. What it depends on is your access to certain facilities, and also the accuracy you require.
If you would simply like a method to track whether you are reducing your body fat percentage as you embark on your new fitness regime, then a body fat caliper will do just fine.
For those who wish to know the exact percentage of fat in your body, and also how it is distributed, then you should lean more to the DEXA/Electrical Impedance side.
Either way, keeping track is a good way to know the progress you are making in your quest for a leaner body!

So far we think that bottled drinking water packaging is drinking water that is free from danger. Drinking water companies are campaigning for their care of nature. Bottled water advertisements also tend to boast that bottled water is better and keep your body fresh. But you know, actually bottled drinking water is also dangerous. Here are 10 reasons not to consume bottled water.
Water Packaging Causes Cancer
Research shows that drinking bottled mineral water can cause cancer. Plastics are the most commonly used materials for packaging. Food products even use plastic to pack. The difference is that food is usually preserved which makes them long-lasting. But what about water? The bottles have traveled so far before reaching the store. Although well packed, water begins to absorb harmful chemicals from plastics that can cause cancer.
Selling Garbage
Never get swayed by the ads you see on tv stating water can make you fresher or healthier. The use of water is all the same that prevents the body from lack of fluids. Do not waste money on something you can make yourself. At least you can still boil water at home, right?
Causes Sterility
As the plastic comes in contact with water continuously, the plastic will release chemicals called Phthlate. This toxic substance will settle in your body and cause cancer and sterility.
Less Security Standardization
Very few people know that the bottled water industry is the least regulated industry. There is no clear standard set for bottled water. There are no specific rules governing filtration, clarification, packaging, and transportation of water in clear bottle packaging. Now you can imagine not what water you drink actually?
Hurt the Human Side
Did you know, most people spend money to buy drinking water? While there are more than 700 million people who still can not access clean drinking water to date. This should hurt the human side when many people spend extra money just to buy bottled water.
Being a luxury
On average a person needs about 2 liters of water per day for their body. If calculated, it means someone needs more than 700 liters of water. Imagine the amount of money you must spend to buy bottled water. Though you can use the money for other more important purposes.
The largest Contributor to Plastic Waste
Although there have been steps to recycle, the effort is still less than the environmental damage caused by the use of plastic. Well, when you consume bottled drinking water, you have become a contributor to the plastic waste.
Waste of Petroleum
The springs used by the company are usually very far away from the processing industry. Not to mention when distributing the bottled water to stores all over Indonesia. In the process, bottled water companies use petroleum which in fact is a non-renewable natural resource. Not to mention the pollution caused by the use of petroleum. Think again when you want to buy bottled water.

There are several places on Maui to buy local beef. It is sometimes more expensive than beef imported from the mainland, but it can be less expensive.
Some advantages to buying local beef, i.e., from cows raised on Maui.
|Maui Cattle Co. Beef at Pukalani Superette.
- Local beef is healthier.
- The animals have had a better life than animals raised in CAFOs (aka commercial feed lots) and have had access to pasture and grass and sometimes ocean views!
- The environmental costs of raising and transporting beef locally are also less.
- A summary of reasons to eat grass fed beef can be found here.
I was told when I asked about hormones in the beef, that
Hawaii state law prohibits local beef to be produced using any growth hormones. Also, if you've watched the documentary Food Inc, there's a scene in which the narrator says that a single commercially produced hamburger can contain portions of meat from hundreds of cows mixed together, and some of the cows have tumors in the meat or other diseases. Yuck.
Where to buy local beef:
PukalaniSuperette, Mana Foods, Whole Foods Market, Hanzawa's Grocery in Haiku, and Rodeo General Store in Makawao. Sometimes Longs Drugs carries local beef in their frozen section. Haiku Grocery may carry some local beef under the Maui Cattle Co. label, but the store-packaged hamburger is no longer local as of this year. I've never seen local beef at any of the chain supermarkets. Local hamburger or ground beef is sometimes as low as $2.99/lb (this is less expensive than most supermarkets on Maui) but usually it's more. Other cuts can be up to $8 or $9/lb but you can buy cuts like beef chuck and then tenderize the heck out of it using shredded green papaya. And it will taste great! If you need to find certain cuts of local beef like beef chuck or livers or kidneys OR buy in larger quantities, definitely ask Pukalani Superette, because they can let you know what days certain things arrive to their store and they are wonderfully helpful.
Update 1/24/13: Originally, this post mentioned a specific local institution to buy Maui beef directly, without a middleman, but shortly after I posted it, the business requested that I remove their name and not mention them. They said they just didn't want the publicity.

The Christmas holiday is celebrated the world over as families gather to make merry in a festive spirit of unity and thankfulness.
With the passage of time, these celebrations have evolved to suit local customs and communities, with some very interesting results!
The Flexicover Team looks at some of the different flavours of Christmas celebrations from around the world.
Christmas is a great time to be in this region, the atmosphere and festive spirit gets into full swing from early December! In Austria and some other Alpine regions, tales are told during the festive season of Krampus, a mythical creature who accompanies Santa (Saint Nicholas) as his counterpart to punish and beat all the children that have misbehaved. Particularly bad children are said to be stuffed into his bag to be devoured later! On December 6th, Krampusnacht ("Krampus Night"), men dress up in the scariest devil costumes and go around town scaring the little ones – a parade like no other! It's a shame this is not coming to a street near us!
The Spanish region of Catalonia has many Christmas traditions that we might consider bizarre. One of these is the Tió de Nadal ("Christmas Log"), also popularly known as the caga tió ("defecating log") which involves creating a character out of a log The hollowed-out log is often dressed with a hat and scarf, propped up on leg-like sticks and a smiling face painted on! In the fortnight leading up to Christmas, it is fed every day with treats such as nuts, fruits and sweets and on Christmas Eve, the family will sit together and beat the log with sticks, whilst singing traditional songs, forcing the log to "excrete" its treats. It may sound strange but this is a long standing tradition in Catalonia and the surrounding regions of Occitania and Aragon!
In Venezuela's capital city, Caracas, a well-attended early morning church service is held between the 16th and 24th of December and it is customary to roller-skate to the service! Neighbourhoods often close the streets to traffic to make the practice safer. The night before, children will tie one end of a piece of string to their big toes and the other end will hang out of the window; as roller skaters go by the next morning, they tug at the string. This way it ensures no one is late for church! Oh, where did all the church bells go?
Whilst the usual decorations, ornaments and lights are common, Ukrainian Christmas trees are traditionally adorned with an artificial spider with its web and good luck will befall anyone who finds it on Christmas Day! This tradition comes from the tale of a poor woman who couldn't afford to decorate her tree and woke the next morning to find it covered in spider webs! Christmas takes place in early January in Ukraine; however, if you fancy a getaway before Christmas, Kiev, its capital, is a great city to visit, full of historical architecture and buzzing nightlife too. Don't miss the sight of the huge Christmas tree in the main square at Maidan Nezalezhnosti!
It is very common for Norwegian households to hide their brooms the night before Christmas Day. With the long, wintery Scandinavian nights, it is believed that Christmas Eve coincides with evil spirits and witches who come out looking for brooms to ride on! And if you do have a weekend free before Christmas then Norway is a great place to fly to (even if you have to borrow granny's broom) with lots of festive markets, fairs and seasonal concerts, sure to put anyone into the Christmas spirit!
If you are lucky enough to go abroad this holiday season, you may need a helping hand from Flexicover Direct, the travel insurance specialists, committed to providing the highest level of protection to ensure that you are safe and secure, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year when away.

As for the rivalry little brother, this year hearkens back to 1988. You hadn't won in a long time, and you came out and hung a bad loss on us. But, in your euphoria this year kid bro, don't forget what happened in '89. 70 to 31, and it was 63-10 in the 4th quarter.
So enjoy it while it lasts kiddo. Cause next year's gonna hurt.

Little brother?? Have you looked at the all-time record between the two teams? How many BCS games have BYU gone to?

It's clear how Utah feels about itself with respect to BYU. It's like playing your little brother in a pickup game in the backyard.
1988 was the first time in almost 20 years that Utah beat BYU. After that kind of streak, it doesn't really matter what happened in the 1920s.
How many Heisman's has Utah won? How many national championships?
- November 24, 2008 at 7:29 AM
89 was 20 years ago...are you one of those people that still think it's cool to wear your lettermans jacket too?
- November 24, 2008 at 5:32 PM
- Cameron said...
Very nice Anon.
Even cooler is to wear the jacket while hanging out by the school rock after the big game. (Do they have rocks in Utah, or is that just an Idaho high school thing?)
Anyway, those that ignore history, anon, are doomed to repeat it.

Even though BYU lost they are so much more entertaining to watch than any Utah game. It wouldn't be a great rivalry if Utah didn't win sometimes.

Did you know that next year is the 25th anniversary of BYU's National Title? An associate of mine was at BYU a little while ago and in the bookstore noticed there was a sizable section for 1984 championship memoribilia (sorry if misspelled, I'm not going to check it -- no not a U alum).
I wonder is the problem is ignoring the past by Utah, or living in the past by BYU.
Just a thought.
I am a militant U-fan, ironically due to sibling rivalry with an older brother who was a Y-fan. So maybe your right about the little brother issue, but little brothers do have a tendancy to outgrow big brothers and give big brothers a retrobutt-kicking.
- November 26, 2008 at 1:13 PM
- Cameron said...
See, I was right about the little brother thing!
I'm actually a Utah graduate myself, though I grew up out of state as a BYU fan.
The little brother stuff comes from my impression of just about everything Utah does - not just football. The overriding theme on campus is "We're not BYU".
Most, if not all, of the Utah fans I've come across are Ute fans for the same reason.
Which is one reason why they have trouble with attendance. During their 2004 BCS season, they had Urban Meyer out practically begging for people to go to the games.
On the field, the rivalry has been even since the 70s-80s BYU glory days when Utah won just a handful of times. So in that respect, "little brother" Utah has grown up. But the Ute fan psyche is still very much the kid brother who remembers the beat downs of yesteryear.

Today I welcome women's fiction author, Constance Walker, to the blog to talk about her latest release, Storytime at the Villa Maria.
About Storytime at the Villa Maria
Although none of the characters in Storytime at the Villa Maria are real people, I have to admit they're bits and pieces of persons I've known and loved and remembered.
I grew up in Philadelphia and one of the things my family — really all the families I knew — did, was tell stories. Only they didn't call them stories — they were just relating ordinary parts of their everyday life. Around the family dinner table our parents would speak about the people they met and worked with and my brothers and I would talk about the lessons we learned, our teachers and our school friends.
On summer nights we would sit outside on our porch and talk to the neighbors about their day. In quiet conversations we'd hear about their families: the happy times– graduations, births, relatives who came to visit, etc. And the sad – deaths, accidents, who needed some extra money for an emergency, who was moving away. Someone would mention that they saw "so and so" and someone else would furnish a few words about that person – where they worked or their occupation, their families, or when and why they came to America. They were gentle conversations without mean-spiritedness or malice and I was fascinated.
They spoke about everything – music, politics, food, the old country — and for many, many years after its end, World War II was still one of the main topics of discussions. People remembered and recalled little facts of the 1940's — who was drafted, where they served, who was wounded, and sadly, those who never came home. They recalled rationing, patriotic parades, air raid drills, and how each of them, individually and collectively, helped the war effort.
A word – any word – would trigger someone's recollection and memories about "before," and on those hot summer nights the conversations would go on for hours. I heard from senior citizens about the "hard times" of the recession, from our parents' generation about the fashion styles of "today", and on and on the varied talks went – way into midnight.
We kids were included in the conversations and I loved hearing these stories and I listened… and I remembered. Then it wasn't called "storytelling" – it was just everyday dialogue. Some cynics might call it "sentimental nostalgia" or "gossip" or "idle" chatter, but I think, even then, I knew it was more – that it was a history of sorts that chronicled their lives and enriched mine.
In writing Storytime at the Villa Maria, I added my own "facts" to the stories Dominick and Sophie and Tom and Ella and all the other characters in the novel tell. I hope you like them.
Don't Miss Storytime at the Villa Maria
Dominick, who married "the most beautiful woman in the world"…
Sophie, who is haunted by terrifying memories of the Holocaust…
Ella, who made "sweet apple pies" for her war veteran husband…
Tom, whose music lured women into his arms…
Artie, who is plagued by the ghosts of long-dead soldiers…
Frank, who can't let go of his yesterdays, though a better tomorrow beckons…Join them and others as they gather every Monday night in the library at the Villa Maria to share their memories, their fears, and their dreams.
Storytime at the Villa Maria—the unforgettable book about life lived and still to be lived, and about the mysterious threads of joy and heartache and love that are woven into every life—including your own!
"A charming novel of senior citizens, storytelling, nostalgia, and a world gone by but not forgotten."

The New Super Bowl Standards
Clearly this would have been more timely news about ten days ago when the announcement was first made on the Thursday before Super Bowl XLIV but, technically, we are ahead of the game by about 355 days. Just as we were all — mostly — getting excited about Attik's work the NFL unveiled not only a new logo for Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Texas but a whole strategy for an undisclosed number of Super Bowls to come, designed by Landor.
The NFL has historically introduced a dramatically different Super Bowl logo every year based primarily on the location of the game, and using roman numerals for greatest impact. Landor's strategy for the new visual identity system places at the heart of it the Vince Lombardi trophy, given to the Super Bowl's winning team each year. Depending on the NFL event, the new system allows for complementary elements to be introduced. The released version, for the Arlington 2011 Super Bowl XLV, is the first example of a region-specific identity which will include each year's stadium venue and the roman numerals to designate the event. This system affords the NFL consistency from year to year, regardless of the playoff event.
— Landor Press Release
The NFL also announced it's changing its postseason logo system and trophies. The AFC and NFC Championship Game trophies will change from a brown base with an 'A' or 'N' on top of it surrounded by players layered on a wall, to silver trophies in the make of a football. Playoff logos also will change to reflect the football as a trophy. All of the new logos and trophies will take effect starting with the 2010 season.
— ESPN Dallas/Fort Worth.
After forty-four years of creating new logos for each Super Bowl game, I can see why the NFL would want to standardize the process, I am sure it is no easy task for client or designer. But it comes at the expense of almost commoditizing the event, as something that the NFL merely produces the same way each year, over and over without giving each year — more importantly, each of the Super Bowl teams — the individuality it deserves. But let's assume the strategy is correct… The execution is simply boring and I can't imagine it getting more exciting as years go by. Celebrating the stadiums in the logos seems to me the strangest thing to do, especially when you get to structures that aren't as relatively exciting or with iconic features as the Cowboys stadium. And as the football shot below demonstrates, once you remove the Vince Lombardi trophy shiny effect, the logo is just a clunky bundle of elements.

UVA, UVB and UVC, the three wavelength groups of ultraviolet light found in sunlight and in varying amounts in artificial light from such devices as sun lamps and sun beds, will be reviewed for possible listing in the federal government's Tenth Annual Report on Carcinogens, National Toxicology Program officials said today.
Additional substances to be considered for listing, according to the announcement, are:
- The fire retardant chemicals 2,2-bis-bromomethylpropanediol and 2,3-dibromo-1-propanol, as well as vinyl bromide, a chemical used in the making of flame-retardant synthetic fibers.
- Vinyl fluoride, used in the production of plastics.
- Two classes of dyes used in textiles, leather, plastic, paper, plastics and rubber: the dimethoxybenzidine dyes and the dimethylbenzidine dyes.
- Styrene-7,8-oxide, used in preparing fragrances and in some epoxy resins.
- IQ, a substance found in cooked meat and fish.
- Beryllium and beryllium compounds, which will be reviewed for possible upgrading to "known human carcinogens" from the current listing as "reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens."
In an announcement in the Federal Register, the National Toxicology Program requested public comment and data relevant to the substances to be submitted to:
Dr. C. W. Jameson,
NTP Report on Carcinogens,
PO Box 12233,
Research Triangle Park, NC
Two federal government reviews ? the first by scientists of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, where the NTP is headquartered, and the second by scientists from a group of federal agencies -- are followed by an outside peer review, held in public.
The Report on Carcinogens is a Congressionally directed listing of known and reasonably anticipated human carcinogens. Its preparation is delegated to the NTP by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. NTP is the nation's major agency for toxicological testing and for developing and improving toxicological test methods.
Further information may be found in the Federal Register, Volume 64, Number 63, pages 15983-4, and Number 74, pages 19188-9, in which the criteria for the "known" and "reasonably anticipated" classifications are detailed.

In the last I article, I wrote about using UNPIVOT, this is the opposite function PIVOT, where it will turn rows into columns, I have used some data that may not necessarily be a real world example, but will give us enough options to play with.
First thing to do is create this dummy data set, so we can do that using the code below.
We are also going to create a Table Type (these can improve the performance of temp tables).
And this will return the following data set. Note that where we added columns "5" and "s" above, they would be skipped with this, and in the next article we are going to ensure we capture it.

[Sure to become] a classic in the field. Highly recommended." —Library Journal
... full of surprises and intrigues and written in a beautiful style.... a breath of fresh air on the African-Islamic-American connection." —Journal of the American Academy of Religion
The involvement of black Americans with Islam reaches back to the earliest days of the African presence in North America. Part I of the book explores these roots in the Middle East, West Africa, and antebellum America. Part II tells the story of the "Prophets of the City"—the leaders of the new urban-based African American Muslim movements in the 20th century. Turner places the study of Islam in the context of the racial, ethical, and political relations that influenced the reception of successive presentations of Islam, including the West African Islam of slaves, the Ahmadiyya Movement from India, the orthodox Sunni practice of later immigrants, and the Nation of Islam. This second edition features a new introduction, which discusses developments since the earlier edition, including Islam in a post-9/11 America.
Richard Brent Turner is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Iowa. He lives in Iowa City.

When a Christmas shopping expedition brings Tomy Peralta into Jason Winters's yarn store, both men feel an immediate and intense spark of attraction, but dance instructor Tomy intends to propose to his boyfriend, Sean, at Christmas. Unfortunately for Tomy, marriage isn't on career-minded Sean's agenda. Heartbroken, Tomy throws himself into his work until his mother convinces him that learning to knit might help take his mind off his failed romance.
Jason falls hard for Tomy, but he knows Tomy needs time to heal and to trust in love again. As Jason teaches Tomy to knit, Tomy teaches him to dance in return. Just when it seems Tomy is ready for a new romance, Sean shows up, wanting Tomy back. Will Tomy give his heart to Sean once more, or will Tomy finally see Sean for who he truly is, and choose the man who helped him knit his heart together again?

Writing Center
Email Writing Consultations Available!
Face-to-Face consultations closed until further notice.
Resources for Students
Become a Writing Center Consultant
The Writing Center exists as a teaching and learning space for UAA students. The center promotes the use of academic writing in all disciplines as a tool for learning, communicating, self-expression and critical thinking. Students are the primary focus of our work, both the students who deliver the consultations and those who receive it.
The Writing Center consultations complement course-based learning and help contribute to student success. We strive to work closely with students, faculty and administrators to help students become capable, successful writers.
Writing Center Consultations
Consultations are first-come, first-served (no appointments). Writing Center consultants work with students at all levels to help improve and integrate their reading and writing skills into regular study habits through one-on-one discussions of their work. The goal is students' long-term improvement in their work.
Additionally, the Writing Center serves students for whom English is a second, or even third or fourth, language. Such students come from many departments at UAA and all are welcome to use our services. Because English is structurally different than many of the languages of the world, we understand the challenges that students face when writing academically.
Writing consultations can be a useful resource at any point in the writing process from brainstorming ideas before a paper is written, to looking over a written document. The Writing Center consultants also offer assistance in understanding and using APA, MLA, and Chicago Style formats.
UAA Policies
Our writing consultants comply with the following:

Are a few gender-themed words in your job descriptions signaling women, unconsciously, to not apply?
A scientific study of 4,000 job descriptions revealed that a lack of gender-inclusive wording caused significant implications for recruiting professionals tasked to recruit women to hard-to-fill positions underrepresented by women.
This study addressed questions such as: do job descriptions that lack feminine-gender words repel female applicants? Could the lack of gender-inclusive wording in your job description influence women to opt out and not apply? Are there gender bias characteristics in your job advertisements? Could the lack of gender-inclusive words actually be perpetuating gender inequality in your organization? Read more

Mark Pringle (pno); James Banner (bs); Euan Palmer (dms).(Review by Lance)
Jazzmen, like policemen, seem to be getting younger every day. Last night was no exception. The fluorescent yellow jacketed law enforcement officers patrolling the mean streets of Graingertown looked barely older than the wunderkind trio occupying centre stage in the upper room of the Jazz Café. However, if the coppers outside were as capable as the boppers inside then street crime would be a thing of the past.
Not that the the trio were bebop merchants, although their penultimate number, Monk's Let's Cool One, did indicate familiarity with the idiom. Rather, they personified the new breed of college trained jazz people who seemingly produce original compositions by the dozen as well as being able to put their own slant on "The Repertoire".
Pringle composed most of the pieces, several of which were from his recent CD, recorded with a larger ensemble and reviewed here by Russell (CD Review). The inspiration behind these compositions included Debussy, Ravel and Ernest Hemingway. The latter number, The Writer, (I'd have called it Farewell to Brahms) was particularly impressive with some outstanding work on both brushes and sticks from Palmer, The Ravelian item, Maurice, had a Mississippi delta feel to it which, considering Ravel's jazz leanings, was totally appropriate. There were also opuses by Carla Bley, Ornette Coleman and Cole Porter as well as the aforementioned piece by Monk (super bass work by Banner) all given the distinctive Pringle treatment. Gentle, ethereal intros, gradual build ups, almost orgasmic climaxes culminating in either the abrupt finish or the soft descent back down to earth.
These three young men are in the ascendency.
A feast indeed!

NEWARK, NJ, JULY 29, 2003 -- At approximately 6:30 p.m. today, an Amtrak train brought down overhead electrical wires on the Northeast Corridor near Metropark Train Station.
NJ TRANSIT's Northeast Corridor service is experiencing indefinite delays. North Jersey Coast Line trains are operating to and from New York, but with delays. MidTOWN DIRECT trains are operating normally in and out of New York.
Northeast Corridor passengers on trains that were enroute at the time of the incident were taken to Rahway or Metropark train stations. Buses were then used to transport those passengers to their final destination. Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line passes and tickets are being honored on all NJ TRANSIT and private carrier bus services this evening.
An estimated 70 NJ TRANSIT trains were impacted by the incident, with average delays of up to 90 minutes.
NJ TRANSIT is working with Amtrak to identify service plans for Wednesday morning's Northeast Corridor rush hour service. Delays are expected. NJ TRANSIT and private carrier buses will continue to cross honor Northeast Corridor passes and tickets on Wednesday. Passengers are advised to listen to traffic reports for the latest information.

I have a limited knowledge of programming, but am interested in buying a Rasberry Pi when it is released.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to program on the device in C++?
I understand it's an ARM processor, and supports a version of Linux. But aside from that it's a normal Mini PC essentially. So will it simply be dependent on whether or not the IDE is supported. For example Visual Studio will not work on it, but an open-source cross-platform IDE like Code::Blocks may run on it?

Sandy Town Council has been and remains supportive of the Central Bedfordshire Trading Standards No Cold Calling Zone initiative. It plays an important role in equipping residents with the confidence and information they need to deal with bogus callers, distraction burglaries and unwanted visitors. The NCCZ scheme is already well signed across many streets in Sandy. We have received complaints from some members of the community that the signs give a false sense of security to some residents as the scheme is not legally enforceable. Cold calling is a legal and legitimate business activity and the zones cannot bar callers from visiting residents. The Council believes it is more important to provide vulnerable individuals with practical information and support about how to deal with cold callers rather than to add to the proliferation of street furniture already in the area. For example door stickers with the NCCZ telephone number and a warning advising callers that the resident will not welcome cold callers can be a much better option for many householders.
Cllr Ken Lynch did not attend the meeting on 4 November 2013 either to vote or to advocate in favour of the signs. Town Mayor Susan Sutton explained:
"Cllr Lynch is unhappy because the Council did not agree with his proposal to introduce more signs because we already have these installed around the community. We want to see the NCCZ champions actively engaging with vulnerable members of the community, not giving the impression that more signs would make us all immune from unwanted visits.
Cllr Lynch must accept that the council makes its decisions in a democratic way. We vote on the merits of propositions put before us and have the best interests of the whole community in our minds. Cllr Lynch is a member of this corporate body and is bound by our code of conduct whenever he speaks whatever other roles or titles he may use. Making accusations that his fellow council members are "deliberate liars" in intemperate statements to the press is unacceptable behaviour."
