LeapFrog Pollux Platform: Networking Applications
Here you will find a list of applications, and their usages.
For Didj only Networking Enabled
Hardware Needed
General Applications
Set up telnetd
Run Telnetd
as a background daemon
# telnetd
or in the foreground
# telnetd -F
At this point you should be able to telnet from the host to the device.
On Host
$ telnet 10.0.0.2
This should leave you with a remote command line to your device.
Note the IP address that you assigned to the Didj, for example 10.0.0.2. To copy a file, for example "./myfile" from your PC to the Didj:
On Didj
# nc -p 5600 -l -w 30 > myfile
On Host
$ nc 10.0.0.2 5600 -w 2 < myfile
When nc exits, you should see the file on the device.
Explorers Specific Applications
The LeapPad Explorer and Leapster Explorer both have sshd installed. With a little configuring, it is an easy way to transfer files back and forth.
First you'll need to access your device via a console, so you can edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. There are two settings you'll want to change.
On Device
PermitRootLogin yes PermitEmptyPasswords yes
Once you've saved the config file, you'll need to run.
$ /etc/init.d/sshd start
This will take a while as it generates the proper keys. If you have already configured your networking you can then run.
On Host
$ ssh firstname.lastname@example.com
This should give you a remote command line over ssh to your device. You can also use any number of programs that support the ssh protocol for a graphic interface.
Enable Permanently
To enable SSH and SFTP permanently, you will have to modify the /etc/init.d/rcS file.
On Device
Add the following line in the same location as the telnetd and vsftpd startup (~line 138), or optionally outside the check for /flags/developer (~line 136):
/etc/init.d/sshd start; ### tim done "sshd"
This will run sshd during the start up process, making it available with out the need for console access.

Writing Your Literature Review in Global Studies
What is a literature review?
The literature review provides you, the student, with the foundation you need to intensively explore a topic. It is an overview and evaluation of the writings in a specific area of interest. You will find literature reviews in many types of writing – annual reviews by commercial publishers, scholarly journal articles, and theses and dissertations to name a few. The ultimate purpose of the literature review is to bring together and analyze significant writings on a topic. For the student in the process of writing a thesis or dissertation, the purpose of the literature review is to show your intellectual grasp of a topic by sharing the knowledge that exists in your area of interest and evaluating this knowledge. It will help you identify important theorists, research groups and writing in your area of interest as well as the vocabulary, methods, history, and key variables used in the field of study.
Annotated bibliographies, abstracts, and literature reviews
Do not confuse the literature review with an annotated bibliography. The annotated bibliography can be an overview of the significant writing in a topical area, but it does not usually include the depth of analysis required in a literature review. You can see an example of an annotated bibliography in the types of tools librarians provide in their research guides. The listing of these tools is done in a non-evaluative manner for the most part. Another type of non-evaluative bibliography can be found in most databases, also known as abstracting services such as the International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, Worldwide Political Science Abstracts and EconLit. The abstracts attached to the journal and book citations in these resources provide you with an important opportunity to see what research has been done in a field, a brief paragraph, sometimes provided by the author, regarding the content of the work, and, in the case of most of our electric resources, an opportunity to access the full article. The literature review will be developed using these tools, but it is also a creative work by the writer that pulls this information together and analyzes the key aspects of what has been written.
The key aspects of the literature review then are 1) a collection of reports of primary or original scholarship and 2) the description, evaluation and integration of the material found in this collection.
The Literature Review as a Process
The first step in the process of reviewing the literature is to identify a useful set of materials to explore. Where should you begin? There are two ways to approach the identification of appropriate materials.
You can use the "citation pearl searching" approach. In this process, you begin with an article of particular interest in the topic you are exploring. This could be a reading from a class, a mention in a textbook or something you have found searching the library catalog or databases. Look at the references found in that work and begin to build a body of literature that is relevant for your topic. Using citation tracking tools like the Web of Science or Scopus you should be able to amass a number of writings related to the original work including articles cited by the original author and articles that cite the original author. Once you have digested these articles, go back to the databases and catalogs and see if you can find more material by searching the names of the authors you have collected, or search using the vocabulary you have developed.
The second way to approach your information gathering phase is the standard hierarchical search. Here you might begin with an essay in an encyclopedia and explore the references found at the end of the essay. Again, taking the terms and authors you find there explore your topic using a variety of catalogs and
databases. There are literally hundreds of resources you can use to explore your topic including journal articles, books, government documents, statistical databases, newspapers, archives, and more. There are also handbooks, dictionaries, and annual reviews that will provide you with additional sources for your work whichever method you choose for your search.
Cautionary Tales
One very strong note of caution, the Web provides us with seemingly limitless resources for scholarly exploration. If the only avenues to scholarly writings you had available to you were Google and Wikipedia, you might be able to pull together a relatively good undergraduate paper of three to five pages. For your literature review, you need to use some of the $18m worth of resources the University Library provides. We have provided a list of possible resources here, but do not limit yourself if you see something in the popular literature that might lead you to further scholarly resources.
While you are casting a wide net to cover your topic, it is also a very good time to review some of the criteria needed for critical thinking skills. Keep in mind at all times the consideration of authority, bias, persuasiveness, and contribution to the literature for each of the works you are reading. Focus your reading on leading authorities in your area, materials from highly regarded publishers, and those contributions that are most directly related to your topic.
Pulling it all together
The literature review highlights your information skills and your ability to provide critical analysis of what you have found. Your literature search is a creative process, employing your problem-solving skills, your flexibility, and your tenaciousness. The end result of this search is to enable you to become even more creative in the way in which you pull all of the elements together. When you are done, try some self-evaluation of your work. Review the coverage, synthesis, methodology, significance and writing you have employed in developing your literature review. Your literature review should be able to stand alone as a useful document that discusses the topic you have chosen in an effective and readable form. Additional readings on the topic of the literature review can be found here.
Citation software
The University Library subscribes to RefWorks which is a bibliographic tracking tool that will allow you to keep track of your citations, upload documents, and annotate what you have found. It will also assist you in creating that all important list of citations for your reference list. It is fairly intuitive to use, but you can learn more about it here or you can attend a workshop through the Saavy Researcher program.
The library can also assist you to some degree in using Zotero and Mendeley.

Scientists from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), part of the National Institutes of Health, and the University of Oxford, U.K., have shed light on a long-standing enigma about the structure of a protein related to the Hepatitis B virus. Their findings, reported in Structure, could lead to new therapeutic strategies for chronic liver disease.
World-wide, some 350 million people are chronically infected with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), of whom 620,000 die each year from HBV-related liver disease. Like any other pathogen, HBV expresses protein antigens that trigger the body's immune system to defend itself. A relatively small and simple virus, HBV has three major clinical antigens that elicit an immune response: the surface antigen (which is also used safely and effectively to vaccinate individuals against HBV), the core antigen (HBcAg), and the e-antigen (HBeAg).
The HBV core antigen and the e-antigen are basically two versions of the same protein, but the core antigen is important for virus production, while the e-antigen is not. The e-antigen plays a role in establishing immune tolerance and chronic HBV infection. In addition, the core antigen assembles into the shell (capsid) that houses the genetic material of the virus, while the e-antigen is secreted into the bloodstream in an unassembled form. The relationship between the e-antigen and the core antigen has been a mystery for the past three decades.
In the new study, Alasdair Steven, Ph.D., Chief of the NIAMS Laboratory of Structural Biology Research, and Paul Wingfield, Ph.D., Chief of the NIAMS Protein Expression Laboratory developed a unique antibody that binds to and forms a stable complex with e-antigen. This complex was found to form well-diffracting crystals whose analysis allowed the structure of the complex to be determined. They discovered that the e-antigen subunit has essentially the same fold as the core antigen subunit, but that it pairs into dimers (two associated subunits) in an entirely different way, with a relative rotation of 140 degrees between the subunits. The rotation obviates the protein's ability to assemble and transforms its antigenic character. This switch represents a novel mechanism for regulating a protein's structure and function.
Understanding the e-antigen structure provides a framework upon which future studies can build to fully elucidate its role in HBV persistence and possibly a way to prevent the establishment of chronic liver infections.

The mission of the NIAMS, a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health, is to support research into the causes, treatment and prevention of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases; the training of basic and clinical scientists to carry out this research; and the dissemination of information on research progress in these diseases.

Kelly Link's latest short story sneaks up on you — at first you think it's just a concentrated dose of weirdness, a jarring head-trip like being suspended by your ankles over the ocean. But then her strange world-building starts to make sense, and you think the whole thing is becoming a demented thought experiment.
It's only when you get about two-thirds of the way through that you fully appreciate how sad and beautiful and poetic Link's "Valley of the Girls" really is. And by then it's got a hold of you. This is one of the coolest stories I've read in ages. It's part of the "Special YA Issue" of Subterranean Magazine, guest-edited by Gwenda Bond, which also features stories by Malinda Lo, Karen Joy Fowler, Tobias Buckell, Alaya Dawn Johnson and Sarah Rees Brennan.
Here's my favorite passage from Link's story:
[Vyvian] is twice as rich as God. She's a year younger than us, but her pyramid is three times the size of [Hero]'s. She kisses like a fish, fucks like a wildebeest, and her hobby is breeding chimeras. Most of the estates around here have a real problem with unicorns now, thanks to [Vyvian]. They're territorial. You don't mess with them in mating season. I came up with this variation on French bullfighting, Taureux Piscine, except with unicorns. You got a point every time you and the unicorn were in the swimming pool together. We did Licorne Pasteque, too. Brought out a sidetable and a couple of chairs and set them up on the lawn. Cut up the watermelon and took turns. You can eat the watermelon, but only while you're sitting at the table. Meanwhile the unicorn is getting more and more pissed off that you're in its territory.
It was insanely awesome until the stupid unicorn broke its leg going into the pool, and somebody had to come and put a bullet in its head. Plus, the Olds got mad about one of the chairs. The unicorn splintered the back. Turned out to be an antique. Priceless.
"Do you remember how [Vyvian] cried and cried?" [Hero] says. Even this is part of the happy memory for [Hero]. She hates [Vyvian]. Why? Some boring reason. I forget the specifics. Here's the gist of it: [Hero] is fat. [Vyvian] is mean.

Princeton scientists describe genetics of blood stem cells
June 1, 2000 1:51 p.m.
Princeton scientists have outlined the molecular genetics behind a great mystery of biology: how blood cells replenish themselves. The results - a database of more than 2,000 genes - give biologists their first comprehensive picture of the workings of blood stem cells , the master component of bone marrow that gives rise to all cellular constituents of blood, from red and white cells to platelets.The data, published in the June 2 issue of Science, offer biologists a powerful tool for understanding diseases of the blood such as leukemias, and also how blood stem cells may better be used therapeutically in transplantation and eventual gene therapy scenarios. The research also may yield insights into other types of stem cells throughout the body, such as those responsible for the production of skin, intestinal cells, and liver tissue.

When it comes to food, everyone is always looking for the next hot thing to try.
Trend watchers with their taste buds on the pulse of the leading-edge culinary trends offer up five ideas — techniques and ingredients — you might want to experiment with in 2013.
More people are trying their hands at baking, inspired in part by a plethora of shows like "Sugar Stars," "Bake with Anna Olson" and "Cupcake Wars."
Yet there are people reticent to take on the challenge.
"And for good reason," says Dana McCauley, a judge on Food Network Canada's reality competition show "Recipes to Riches." "You do have to measure when you bake and so if you've not been taught the basics of measuring and if you don't have the appropriate baking tools it's not going to work.
"But it's not that difficult either."
People who don't bake but want to try are turning to kits, which contain all that's needed to make everything from cupcakes to gingerbread houses to smores.
"It shows that baking's gone from being something you just do because you want something sweet and into the realm of macrame and knitting," says McCauley. "It's become project based."
Alison Fryer, owner of The Cookbook Store in Toronto, says she's seeing fewer general baking books. Instead, books devoted to single topics such as marshmallows, doughnuts, cupcakes and so on are populating the shelves.
Doughnuts aren't just the old-fashioned sugar-sprinkled or glazed pieces of deep-fried dough with a hole in the middle any longer —though of course those are still available. These sweet morsels are yet another iconic food that has undergone a makeover, with unusual flavour combinations and decorations, and are even served at upscale restaurants.
"It's kind of ironic because Tim Hortons got out of their core business being coffee and doughnuts to become a restaurant and now everybody wants doughnuts," said McCauley, who is also responsible for new product innovation for the frozen foods company Janes Family Foods.
Glory Hole in Toronto, which advertises its doughnuts as being "handmade with love," offers pretzel, bread and butter, and beer flavours in addition to sweet choices.
"Doughnuts might be the new macarons," said trend watcher Christine Couvelier of Culinary Concierge, adding they fall into other categories she's keeping an eye on: small bites with a big taste (people can have a tasty indulgence without consuming a large portion) and they can be sold from food trucks, which are popping up everywhere.
Macarons, the pretty pastel confectionery with a crunchy meringue shell and a soft centre, didn't take off as much as people thought they would.
"They're certainly here, but they are more sophisticated and they almost always contain nuts, so that again makes them less mainstream," McCauley says. "Plus they're harder to make. They're much more labour intensive than rolling out some dough, cutting a hole in it and tossing it in a deep fryer."
Cupcakes have mainstreamed. "You literally can't avoid a cupcake shop these days," McCauley says.
Nutrient-rich kale is hip and getting hipper, say several trend watchers.
The vegetable appears on blogs and is even the sole subject of a cookbook, "The Book of Kale: The Easy-to-Grow Superfood" by Sharon Hanna (Harbour Publishing).
Dana Speers, executive chef for President's Choice test kitchen in Brampton, Ont., says the company is looking at selling baby kale. "It's a tender version of the big leafy green kale. It looks like baby arugula and it's great in salads."
Until then, she offers a tip for preparing large kale leaves for use in salads: Massage the entire leaf with a little oil, then chop it. "It is so delicious."
The fermented Korean red sauce known as gochujang that goes on the dish bibimbap could be the new sriracha, McCauley muses. She thinks we're going to see more of the savoury gochujang, which isn't as hot as sriracha.
She's seen some recipes lately that call for gochujang and don't give alternates, "which is a sign that in that real hard-core foodie world they're starting to think that you should have it on hand."
Dilute it with sesame oil and soy sauce for a great dipping sauce for spring rolls, she suggests.
Figs are lending a Mediterranean tangy sweetness to condiments, spreads and jams.
McCauley drizzled a fig-based mixture over a whole cheese, topped it with berries and served it with crackers and it was a huge hit at a party she hosted. "It was so simple. I didn't have any time to prepare and yet it looked as if I had this elegant appetizer."
A heightened interest in South American cuisine has caused a resurgence in the Argentinian chimichurri sauce, said Couvelier. It's ideal with grilled meats.
The traditional Spanish sauce escabeche generally consists of capers, raisins, olive oil, shallots, garlic and sherry vinegar and can top fish, sardines and salads. "It's a vinaigrette, it's a sauce, it's fantastic," says Speers.
A Sicilian version, which is a bit sweeter and thicker, is called agrodolce. It also complements fish or octopus. The eight-armed sea creature is another big food trend for 2013.
The modern style of cooking known as molecular gastronomy, practised by scientists and food professionals in labs and professional kitchens, is trickling down to the home cook.
This is no doubt spurred by the former chief technology officer for Microsoft, Nathan Myhrvold, who last year published the hefty six-volume "Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking" and has turned his attention to the home cook with this fall's slimmer "Modernist Cuisine at Home."
For those who want to get a toehold into the modernist cuisine movement without buying any special equipment, McCauley offers this tip from a demonstration she saw Myhrvold do.
"Take a bottle of red wine and instead of decanting it super gently what he does — and I've done it a few times as a party trick now and it's so much fun — is he takes and just dumps the bottle into the blender and he puts it on at high speed, lets the foam dissipate for a couple of minutes and then pours it.
"Of course people are like, 'Oh my God, what are you doing to this $40 bottle of wine?' But it's perfectly decanted because the whole idea of decanting is to get air into the wine.
"So if you're going to try something next year, pull out a good bottle of wine, run it through your blender and be surprised at how fantastic it is."

The Nepalese government has plans to build a road over the Annapurna Circuit. Combined with earlier road construction, it will shorten what was once a 17 day magnificent mountain and cultural trek into a 4 day trek. I hiked this trek in 1992 when I was trying to figure out what I was going to do with my life. While it ultimately didn't provide that answer, it was a life changing journey all the same. I am very sad more people will not have the opportunity to experience that journey the same way I did.

NEW M4 Carbine Furniture
|RAP4 is proud to introduce two dramatic concepts, and a whole lot of color, to accessorizing your T68 marker. To complete the M4 look, and vastly improve its functionality, you need a multi-position collapsible stock...and you need it in colors that complement your environment and other gear. Better yet - how about hiding a 5oz CO2 or 13ci HPA tank inside of that stock, doing away with remote lines and external tanks entirely? RAP4 makes it happen...and puts those stocks together with matching handguards, so you can coordinate your entire marker.
The T68 Paintball Gun M4/M16 Carbine Kits come in your choice of colors, including foliage green, dark earth, olive drab, black, and for very special applications, red and blue as well. The kits come with upper and lower handguards and the multi-position collapsible stock - swap them out in moments, and you�ll be ready to rock!
Kits featuring the standard collapsible stock also come with an M16-style pistol grip in matching color!
For owners of Tippmann, BT, Spyder, and other tactical markers, you can even purchase an M4 Carbine Kit that attaches directly to your marker...and they�re available in two hot configurations and all five colors!
When you want to attach an air source directly to your marker, but don�t want to hang a full size tank off of it or wrap yourself in a remote line, here�s your solution: the 5oz/13ci Carbine Kit! By slightly enlarging the tube at the heart of the collapsible stock, RAP4 engineers have designed a unit that allows you to install that mini air tank directly on your marker, then cover it up with the fully functional collapsible stock! Slide it forwards to shorten your marker for CQB, slide it backwards to extend your length of pull for more comfortable, and more solid, long-distance shooting.
Both kits are available in those custom colors, so you can match your marker to the olive drab in your BDUs, the dark earth in your tiger stripes, or the foliage green in your digital cammies...or go with standard-issue black. There are special police and military uses for the red and blue furniture kits, but you might just use them to indicate which team is which - the story of red vs. blue as told in the colors of your markers!
RAP4 is your only source for these M4/M16 Carbine Kits...and puts you in control with two styles and six color choices! Complete the mil-sim look, feel, and function of your T68...today!
RAP4 - As Real as it Gets!

94. The Two Wolves
This is often attributed as being an old Native American Cherokee legend (and I've obviously depicted it as such) but after doing a bit of digging online I found that its origins are disputed. This source gives pretty convincing evidence that it's only a few decades old and evolved from a passage in a Billy Graham book. And Wiki Answers claim that the moral ending of the passage is inconsistent with traditional Cherokee fables. So I don't know who to believe, and I didn't credit the quote on the comic. If anyone can help clarify the source, please leave a comment. Regardless of the origin, it's a great little proverb and one I wanted to adapt and share with you.
Thanks to everyone who submitted this quote, it's one of the most frequent requests I get.

Welcome back to our series, What does it really take to get into the Ivy League? While tests and grades are the most important part of your application, they alone are not enough to distinguish you from all the other kids who are applying. As difficult as it may be to get the grades and scores required to be considered by Ivy League schools, there are tens of thousands of high school students who do it every year, and there just aren't enough spots at the top for all of them. This leaves the admissions officers with a problem: how do they pick one candidate over another? Thus begins the applications arms race of extracurriculars, personal essays, recommendation letters, etc., etc.
This part of the application can be hard because you can't measure how well you're doing with a number or exam score, but if you keep in mind what the admissions officers are looking for, it can be easy to know what you need. So, what are they looking for? Remember, as I noted in my first post, Ivy League schools want kids who are going to go on to be "successful" – rich, famous, powerful, prestigious. Yes, being smart is an important ingredient here, but it's not enough to be a study robot that does nothing but make good grades and ace exams. You have to be able to get people to like you if you want to be successful. You have to be "well rounded."
There are thus three main types of extracurriculars: creative, athletic, and volunteering activities. For each activity you do, admissions officers are looking for three additional dimensions: commitment, leadership, and recognition. Some colleges give you an entire page to list your extracurriculars: don't be intimidated and try to fill all that empty space. With extracurriculars, less is actually more. You really don't need more than five extracurricular activities, so stop stressing out about how to fill that page. You do need to do those few activities for real though.
First, let's examine the three dimensions and what they mean.
Commitment is how much time you spend doing an activity and for how long you've been doing it. You need to do an activity for all four years of high school and practice/participate in it regularly. This is the most important dimension, and the least complicated to achieve.
Leadership mostly applies to clubs or organizations to which you belong. Colleges like it when you have some official position in at least one of the organizations you participate in – for instance, getting elected President of one of the clubs in which you participate is a classic and highly desirable option. The kind of success that admissions officials are looking for often includes having impressive titles, making decisions, and bossing people around in real life after college, and they think that being President of a high school club might indicate future success in that direction (these admissions officials make many such leaps of faith – but with so many applicants they have to choose somehow). Getting elected to a position also shows an ability to get people to like you, which is a big plus as well. Student government always looks good on an application (even if it doesn't have any real power). Who knows, maybe you'll get elected President of the U.S. some day (this is really how their minds work).
Recognition is related to leadership, but it usually takes the form of prizes, awards, and accomplishments. Winning an award in one of your activities is a way to try to prove you are actually good at it that is easy to document on a resume or application. Remember, on paper it doesn't matter how good you are at something unless you have an award to prove it, and college admissions, job applications, and so many other things in life are primarily conducted on paper (it's just the way things are).
So, what kinds of activities should you pursue? First let's discuss the "creative" type. These are the most important type, and can include any arts activities you do, including things like: visual art, music, dance, theater, etc. If you're not artsy, though, don't worry: computer programming, building robots, astronomy, the school newspaper, yearbook, chess club, speech and debate, and even math club could potentially count here, too.
The trick here is to take whatever you like to do in your spare time and make it sound prestigious on paper. Saying "I like to play video games all day" is not that impressive, but saying "I won a prize at a video game competition two years in a row, I review games each week on my blog (www.gamesnobbery.blogblog.com), I'm president of my school video game club (which I founded (with my friends so I could put it on this application)), and I am very interested in programming, designing, and revolutionizing video games as a career" sounds very impressive. You just have to make it fit the format that they are looking for. Preferably, this type of activity will be something you actually like and care about, and it's great if you have more than one.
If there isn't an organization dedicated to your chosen activity at your school, try to find one outside it or even create a new one (president and founder sounds extra fancy – if you can start a club, maybe you can start a company someday!). You should also look for summer programs dedicated to your activity. Anything you can put down on paper is your friend.
The athletic type is pretty straightforward: join one of your school's sports teams, and do it all four years. If you do a sport that may not have a team at your school, like gymnastics or taekwondo or weight lifting, try to find a local organization dedicated to it, and make sure you go to competitions and win some kind of prize (it can be sixth place at the local level or something – you don't have to be state champion, although it's great if you are). Getting a trophy or letter jacket is a nice award to rack up in this department (you don't always have to be good, either – I did my time and got to be a relay alternate on my swim team at regionals, so I got a letter jacket without even getting wet!). This is another way to show them that you are well-rounded, or even a "team player" (you can work with people/get along/have basic social skills) if you do team sports.
As for volunteering, this theoretically shows that you are a good person (or that you really want to go to Harvard), and is a good way to rack up leadership, since volunteering often happens through organizations that you can advance through if you want. If you belong to a church, synagogue, mosque, temple, or some other religious community, this is often a good place to find volunteering opportunities (religious youth groups can also be a good place to get leadership points, since leadership positions may be less competitive than in school clubs). There are many non-denominational ways to find volunteer opportunities as well, of course, and there are probably numerous clubs and organizations for volunteering at your school. It's always best, of course, to volunteer when your heart is truly in it, and you might try to find a way to tie your creative extracurricular into your volunteering. For instance, if you love to play the piano, you might volunteer to play at a hospital or retirement home once a week. The important thing is to pick something and do it regularly all four years of high school to show commitment.
So, what did I actually do as far as extracurriculars? Here they are:
- Played Violin in the school orchestra, 3 years, conducted the orchestra playing a piece I wrote, participated in playathon fundraiser
- Music composition summer camp, 2 years, wrote music for a ballet in collaboration with the local ballet academy, had a piece I wrote played on a professional concert
- High School Swim Team, 4 years, received letter jacket, went to regionals for 100 Butterfly
- Debate Team, 1 year, won trophy in novice Lincoln Douglass debate
- Economics challenge team, 1 year
- High School Quiz Bowl team 1 year, undefeated, went to nationals*
*Note: Quiz Bowl is another tried and true Ivy League favorite for extracurriculars.
That was the main stuff. Notice I didn't have any volunteering, and not too much leadership either (I guess you could count conducting the orchestra. I don't know what it is, but people just don't vote for me). Not many real awards, either (although the professional concert might count as an accomplishment/recognition). The main thing is that I had two activities, music and swimming, that I was committed to and did a little something to distinguish myself in (composing also isn't that common, which helps). The others are mostly prestigious things that look good on paper, even if I didn't do them for very long.
So, if you have at least a few things that you do seriously you should have a good shot during this part of the admissions process, but I would personally highly recommend that you do at least one creative, one athletic, and one volunteer activity regularly for four years, since if you manage your time and start early it's really not that hard to rack up extracurricular experiences that look great on your application. If you haven't been doing one of these, start now – one year is better than no years. For your other activities, try finding a small club at your high school that you might be interested in, and be a member of it for all four years of high school. If it's a small club and you are generally friendly to everyone in it, you are bound to get a leadership position by your senior year. Also, remember that the more intellectual or prestigious sounding your activity is, the better. Student government, debate, newspaper, yearbook, quiz bowl, and glee club (especially glee club – I don't know why, but students at the Ivy League just love a cappella) are all stereotypical Ivy League activities. Also, professional experience can also count as an extracurricular (especially if you do one of your creative activities professionally).
The main thing is to show commitment in whatever it is you do. We live in a time where awards for kids are cheap, since everyone's a winner. Do your time and take advantage of any leadership or award opportunities that come along. If you stick with three or more things for four years, you're bound to get something eventually. Also, always remember that grades are more important than extracurriculars. Never sacrifice grades for extracurriculars.
I hope that was helpful. Remember, if you have questions about anything in these or other posts on this site, you can ask us with the Ask Test Masters feature. Next time, we'll discuss essays and other writing samples you are asked to provide on your application. In the mean time, get back to studying!

Bon Jovi's daughter recovering after heroin OD in NY
Stephanie Bongiovi, 19, recovering after dorm incident
Authorities say Jon Bon Jovi's 19-year-old daughter is hospitalized after overdosing on heroin in a dorm at her upstate New York college.
Town of Kirkland police say an ambulance was sent to Hamilton College early Wednesday morning after a report that a female had apparently overdosed on heroin.
Investigator Peter Cania says Stephanie Bongiovi, of Red Bank, N.J., is recovering at a hospital he declined to name.
Police say Bongiovi and 21-year-old Ian Grant, also of Red Bank, were charged with drug possession. Both were issued tickets and ordered to appear in court at a later date. Police didn't know if they have lawyers.
The musician's representative isn't commenting.
Bon Jovi is scheduled to perform at a benefit concert for Hamilton in Times Square on Dec. 5.

How to Buy Cheap Essay
Essay writing is the trend of the day. Whatever we do – study or work – we rush, because there is always plenty of work to do and no time at all. Therefore, many students and employees choose to buy cheap essay instead of writing it themselves. There are essay writing services and agencies providing high-quality assignments that meet the standards and deadlines set by customers.
What Does It Take to Write an Essay?
There are countless topics, on which high school and university students have to write. Every teacher and diligent student knows that custom essay writing cheap is quite an investment of time, energy, knowledge, analysis, and critical thinking. Not everyone can handle such a workload within a limited period of time.
And this is not the end of the story yet. A high-grade essay must be formatted and styled in strict accordance with the requirements. Students are required to submit essays that meet current citation styles and standards, such as MLA, APA, etc. Citations and extracts from various sources must be formatted properly. There are tons of subtleties, which a writer (and, consequently, the customer) must know to avoid plagiarism charge. This can be extremely time-taking and, therefore, not feasible for students, who are chronically short on time.
What Academic Writing Services Do
- These services hire experienced writers, who have written papers for crowds of customers and who really know a good essay when they see it. Every professional writer has the expertise to format and style a document as required.
- They have websites that provide direct contacts between writers and customers and enable them to discuss details and achieve the best result. Customers set terms, requirements, and deadlines, which writers see immediately and decide whether or not this is a paper they can handle over the set period of time.
- Customers track the process by requesting progress reports. Also, a customer may ask the writer to submit a part of the work for review and, if necessary, ask him or her to make corrections. Users can do all that using a live chat. This has proved to be a very effective and quick way to help with a writing assignment and get the job done properly.
- Finally, it is writers' responsibility to check essays for plagiarism and proofread them in due time. Companies require that they use advanced anti-plagiarism and proofreading software, and are usually required to provide uniqueness of at least 90%.
How to Order an Essay Online?
To order an essay paper, customers (after signing up) should place an order by filling in a form. They are usually asked to provide information about the type of work, subject, e-mail, deadline, etc., and start an account. Particularly, they specify style, number of pages, academic format, sources and materials, which they want writers to use, and writing standards set by their institutions. All this information will be immediately visible to the writer, who uses an extensive database of libraries, from which the needed information is obtained.
The price of an essay depends on the amount of effort the writer has to exert. The workload is defined by the following factors:
- Academic level;
- Topic;
- Timeframe/deadline (the shorter, the costlier);
- Amount of text written.
The price is a decisive factor that influences a customer's choice of the best online essay writing service. It is advisable to look for the one that has a good reputation and offers high-quality papers at affordable prices. And remember, too cheap does not always mean good!

Recipe from Amanda Gaddy of Shawnee, Okla.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
6 medium leeks, dark green tops trimmed
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon water
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional for salting water
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 to 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves, optional
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, then salt it generously. Trim the root end of the leeks, leaving enough to hold the leaves together, and halve lengthwise.
2. Rinse very well under running water to flush out any grit trapped between the leaves. Add the leeks to the boiling water and cook until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
3. Prepare the viniagrette while the leeks cook. Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, water, and the 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.
4. Once the leeks are finished transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pat dry and lay them on a serving platter.
5. Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over leeks, turn them to coat, and scatter the parsley and the tarragon, if using, over the top. Serve immediately or up to 2 hours later at room temperature

Hope crowned three All-Americans, including a national champion, at the NCAA Division III track and field championships held at Marietta, Ohio from May 21-23.
Senior Nora Kuiper captured the gold in the 100-meter dash and finished second in the 200-meter dash to account for all of Hope's points in the women's championship. Hope and rival Calvin tied for 13th place with 18 points. The women's champion was Wartburg, Iowa with 52 points. In the men's meet, sophomore John Donkersloot won the bronze medal in the high jump to account for Hope's six points and 49th place finish. UW-Oshkosh won the men's championship with 46 points.
Senior Nora Kuiper of Parchment (Parchment HS) won a national championship with a gold medal performance on Saturday in the 100-meter dash. She becomes the first Hope female track and field athlete to win a national championship and the second in school history joining high jumper Rob Appell (1985). In the finals Kuiper set a stadium and Hope record time of :11.84. She was an All-American in the 100 a year ago by finishing fifth in the finals.
With just over an hour to regroup before competing again, Kuiper came back with a silver medal performance in the 200-meter dash finishing second with a school record time of :24.35. The event was won by Brooke Bell of UW-Whitewater in :24.25. She becomes Hope's first All-American in the 200 and the first Hope female athlete in 16 years to medal twice in the same year at the national meet. The only other athlete to accomplish that fete was Marcia VanderSall who was sixth in both the 5,000 and 10,000 in 1993.
Sophomore John Donkersloot of Zeeland (Zeeland East HS) won the bronze medal with a third place finish in the high jump on Saturday. He was one of five jumpers to go out at 6 feet, 10 1/4 inches, but gained third place on the basis of fewest misses in the competition. He cleared six feet, nine inches. The national champion is John Kimmel of Manchester, Ind. who cleared six feet, 11 1/2 inches. Donkersloot was competing at the national meet for the second year in-a-row. He was ninth as a freshman. He entered this year's competition seeded sixth with a qualifying jump of 6 feet, 9 3/4 inches. He becomes Hope's third All-American high jumper, the first in nearly a quarter-of-a-century. Rob Appell was the national champion in 1985 clearing seven feet, a mark that remains the all-time Hope record. Jim Wildgen was an All-American high jumper twice, finishing sixth in 1974 (6-5) and fourth in 1976 (6-6).
Kara VandeGuchte of Hamilton (Hamilton HS) can chalk up her first appearance on a national stage in the heptathlon as a learning experience. The sophomore ended 20th in a field of 20 competitors at the NCAA Division III championships. The seven-event heptathlon concluded Friday. She ended with 3,964 points. The national champion is Ashley Huston of Hardin-Simmons, Tex. with 5,242 points. VandeGuchte's performances were: eighth in the 200-meter dash (:26.85), ninth in the 100-meter hurdles (:15.47), 14th in the high jump (4-10 1/2), 16th in the shot put (29-9 1/4) and javelin (86-7), 18th in the 800-meter run (2:42.0), and 19th in the long jump (14-8).
Senior Rob Bailey of Ogden Dunes, Ind. (Portage, Ind. HS) finished 16th (9:51.86) in a field of 16 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase on Friday. He came into the race seeded ninth. The national champion is Peter Kosgei of Hamilton, N.Y. (8:56.67).

white collar and organized crime
March 26, 2011, 07:24:54 AM »
Recall all my posts about how we are being robbed by white collar coward-like criminals who sureveillence us in multple ways with hidden cameras, listening devices, and all computers as well as any wireless electronic devices. Remember how I said I am positive this HAS to be rampant on Wall Street. Remember I said how every single person who comes into our house is a suspect and nearly all of them can be bribed or it is arranged that someone who works for the thieves shows up to do any kind of contractor work. Finally, finally someone is actually caught. Don't expect to find out who is really behind this or even to hear anything about it again. This will be white washed. For someone to suggest he was not trying to pick up insider tips with cameras in BR is an insult. Of course he was. The only other thing would be to try to get incriminating evidence on some traders to later extort information from them.
Folks this is RAMPANT. This kind of crime is absolutely rampant. And no one does a thing. Where is law enforcement on these kinds of crime? When some of them are also not taking bribes to get in on it?
"So was he spying on the trading floor trying to pick up insider tips? Not quite. He was apparently installing the cameras in the men's restroom."
****Was a Guy Arrested for Hiding Cameras Inside Deutsche Bank?

A man was arrested for covertly installing cameras inside of Deutsche Bank, according to a report from DealBreaker.
DealBreaker's source describes him as "the guy that delivers water bottles to the trading floor."
So was he spying on the trading floor trying to pick up insider tips?
Not quite.
He was apparently installing the cameras in the men's restroom.
DealBreaker wasn't sure which bank the arrest took place in at first. Sources have now come forth to claim it was at Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank is declining to comment.****

Organized Crime - bigger than ever - just less violent; Economist

Only when it was violent and too political to ignore. Now it is worse because of the electronic world we live in and the international nature of some of it. I as everyone has heard ad nauseum noted what I experienced in the music industry and how law enforcement does essentially nothing to even try to stop it. The growing and exponential spread of big data will hitting everyone now in ways they don't even see or realize. There is not and has not been enough outrage to get the politicians or law enforcement people even remotely interested in protecting us. The focus is on Muslim terrorists. What about the other form of white collar terrorism? Yeah so there are not dead bodies strewn around. Until people get serious about theft and other forms of corruption we will all continue to be victims.
****Organised crime
Earning with the fishes
As globalised gangs profit from new regulations and markets, governments are struggling to keep up
Jan 18th 2014 | LONDON AND NEW YORK | From the print edition
SOME lawmen chase villains down mean streets. Others chase fraudsters across balance-sheets. In the stomach-churning stench of the Vetport at John F. Kennedy International Airport, yet others don surgical masks, goggles and rubber gloves, and peer with penlights into crates holding thousands of little birds.
These inspectors with the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) examine not just live animals entering America—such as the 45 outlaw jays they found lurking in a legal shipment of thousands of birds—but plants and animal products such as handbags and caviar. In 2011 FWS agents raided Gibson Guitar facilities in Tennessee and seized wood worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that they suspected had been illegally imported from India and Madagascar.
The buyers may be besotted ornithophiles, air-brained fashionistas or greedy gourmets. But the sellers are crooks, supplying a market which, according to America's Congressional Research Service, is worth as much as $133 billion annually. Commodities such as rhino horn and caviar offer criminals two benefits rarely found together: high prices and low risk. Rhino horn can fetch up to $50,000 per kilogram, more than gold or the American street value of cocaine. Get caught bringing a kilogram of cocaine into America and you could face 40 years in prison and a $5m fine. On January 10th, by contrast, a New York court sentenced a rhino-horn trafficker to just 14 months.
The appeal of such trade is increased, however unwittingly, by governments trying harder to protect what is precious and rare. "When we finally get it together to agree that we'll only take ten tuna out of the water this year because that's all we can afford to take, that 11th tuna will be worth a lot of money," says Theodore Leggett of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). As with tuna, so with ebony, ivory and rhino horn—all being regulated more tightly, and all still desirable.
The world is their oyster
Organised crime is globalising and diversifying. Mono-ethnic, hierarchical mafias are being replaced by multi-ethnic networks that operate across borders and commit many types of offence. In an ongoing investigation into rhino-horn trafficking, the FWS arrested Irish travellers using indigent Texans to procure material for Chinese and Vietnamese buyers. Europol, the European Union's law-enforcement agency, estimates that just a quarter of Europe's roughly 3,600 organised-crime groups have a main nationality, and that some operate in dozens of countries. A third are involved in more than one criminal enterprise, with half of those linked to drug-trafficking.
And though traditional trafficking in drugs, guns and people is still lucrative, gangs are increasingly moving into lower-risk, higher-reward areas—not just wildlife, but fraud and illegal waste-disposal. The UNODC says the value of cross-border trade in counterfeit goods could be as much as $250 billion a year. On January 14th it launched a campaign to tell consumers about the dangers posed by fake electronics, food, medicines and the like—and how the buyers of knock-offs enrich some highly unpleasant people.
Gangs in Britain make around £9 billion ($14.8 billion) a year from tax, benefit, excise-duty and other fraud—not much less than the £11 billion they earn from drugs. In America cigarette-trafficking deprives state, local and federal governments of $5 billion in tax revenues annually. The European Union estimates that losses within its borders from cigarette smuggling, tax fraud and false claims on its funds by organised groups total €34 billion ($46.5 billion) a year. But member states bring fewer than ten cases each a year for defrauding the EU, and sentences tend to be light.
According to the FLARE Network, an international group of campaigners against organised crime, criminal groups in Italy make around €14 billion a year from being mixed up in agriculture. In some parts of the country mafias control food production and distribution; Franco La Torre, FLARE's president, says they also enrich themselves through fraudulent claims on EU agricultural funds. Increasingly strict regulation of waste disposal has created another profitable opportunity for organised crime in Europe—particularly, according to Europol, for the Italian Camorra, 'Ndrangheta and Cosa Nostra.
Where politics is corrupt and law enforcement weak, as in much of Latin America, gangsters still look much as they have for decades: brutal and keen on the brand-enhancing effect of highly visible violence. But in the rich world, the shift to new lines of business is changing the face of organised crime. The FBI estimates that the four big Italian Mafia groups still have 3,000 members and affiliates in America. But as traditional industries have shrivelled so, too, have the unions and tight-knit neighbourhoods that were once their fertile breeding grounds.
Old-style loan sharks and drug-dealers are finding a new role as distributors for the modern mobsters who manage the supply chains, marketing, finance and human resources needed to move goods, money and people across borders. "The new generation are very talented businessmen and technologically advanced experts," says Mr La Torre. They prefer invisibility to showy violence. Many also have legitimate business interests.
Clever criminals acting across borders are extremely difficult to prosecute. They profit from gaps in enforcement and regulation, and conceal their illegal acts in complex supply chains. If a network of Nigerian scammers based in Amsterdam defrauds French, Australian and American credit-card holders, where does the crime occur? And who has the motivation, not to mention the jurisdiction, to prosecute?
A commodity such as oil, ivory or fish will be transported on a ship flying a flag of convenience, explains Mr Leggett. The ship will be owned by a holding company registered in a tax haven with a phoney board. Thus the criminals can disguise the provenance of their ill-gotten goods and middlemen can plead ignorance.
Governments are reacting by getting law-enforcement agencies to work together. America is trying to improve the flow of information between them. Britain's recently created National Crime Agency will have the power to order local police forces to make arrests, unlike the body it replaced. Europol analyses and distributes information from EU member states.
But organised crime sells things that people want—not just drugs and sex, but handbags, sushi and wardrobes, too. Businesses and consumers will have to accept, says Mr Leggett, "that there is no such thing as just wood. It has to be wood from somewhere." And they will have to agree not to sell or buy illegally harvested wood, however beautiful or cheap.
Until then, illicit goods will keep coming in quantities too great for governments to stop. One FWS inspector estimates that for all the peering, prodding and chirping, for all the rewards promised and rhino-horn traffickers caught, the agency picks up perhaps 5% of wildlife brought illicitly into America. For criminals, that is merely a light tax on the profits from the rest.

I've reported how it is easy for crooks to pick up the wireless remote entry code. If they are nearby enough they can catch the code as you are going to your vehicle. Then they simply can open your trunk or door. This may be even more sophisticated. Perhaps they now don't even have to wait for you to go to your car. I've asked some dealerships about their codes. If they are multiple or changing. Most don't even have a clue and then when they call their engineers to find out the answer is the codes are single and some only have a small library of codes. Hey legal eagles - here is a chance for a class action suite - maybe that will wake up the auto makers to security issues while they continue to pack autos with wireless crap.
****Thieves Break Into Cars Using Mysterious 'Black Box'

Thieves Break Into Cars Using Mysterious Black Box
By John Dodge
CHICAGO (CBS) — A mysterious device is being used by criminals to easily break into locked cars across the country, including here in Chicago.
It has police stumped, CNN is reporting.
In Chicago, surveillance video shows a thief pointing a small box-like device at a car door.
Within seconds, the car unlocks, the alarm is disabled and the thief simply opens the passenger door and easily takes the valuables.
The device is believed to be some sort of electronic hacking mechanism that overrides the car's computer system.
Thieves across the country have been using it.
Police have no idea what it is, or exactly how it works, CNN reports.
However, according to CNN, authorities in Texas have apparently seized one of the devices and are in the process of testing it.****

For people who think we should get rid of the post office, just remember, stealing mail delivered by UPS or FEDEX is not a Federal crime. It may be petty theft but that is about it.
While USPS mail crime is a bigger problem then many realize at least it carries the weight of jail time. Don't think there are not people on the inside involved too. I know from first hand experience. this is small time stuff here:

Many years ago I remember some investment offer wanted $25 for overnight delivery UPS delivery for the packet. When I said I wasn't in a hurry and they could just mail it, they insisted and I passed.
I later discovered their insistence was probably to avoid vulnerability to mail fraud issues , , ,

Brown, Hallie Q.
In Cumberland County, New Jersey, there is a unique settlement known as Gouldtown. Unique because it represents two hundred years of Negro rural development. The original Goulds held over five thousand acres of rich, Jersey land. A thrifty, sturdy race, they left their impression upon generations of the community. Of the fifth generation was born to Benjamin F. and Phoebe Gould, Sarah, the subject of this sketch.
There were nine children in this family, all noted for their physical comeliness, but Sarah was considered the handsomest of the daughters. With the other children she daily walked three miles to the district school where instruction was given in the three R's. There she gained also some knowledge of history and geography.
But the "readers" of those days were filled with cultural material, veritable anthologies of prose and verse. Sarah early developed a love for books and formed a devotion to literature that remained a characteristic of her life.
There was no need for manual instruction in those schools of yesterday. The home was the vocational school for the little Goulds. Sarah proved as conscientious about the home duties as she was diligent in school, and with her sister, Prudence, had quite a reputation as a needlewoman.
At sixteen, Sarah was teaching in the Gouldtown school, an eager, earnest young "school marm." She held this position for two years, then Abel Lee, a young farmer from near-by Salem, persuaded her to leave the school room and become his wife. An old daguerreotype still preserved
Abel Lee and his wife set up their home in a little four-roomed house built on his ten acres of land. Six children were born to them. Sarah's was the busy life of the pioneer during the summer. In the winter her cares were additional, for that was the time that the husband joined others of the community for the annual wood-cutting. Early in the fall the men set out for the pine forests, taking provisions to last for weeks. This was the time they chose to lay in fire woods and logs for lumber. During these weeks, crowded with cares as they were, Sarah still found opportunity to read to herself and children. Her reading material was limited to few books; the Bible, a few poems, Pilgrim's Progress, two or three novels, and such current papers and periodicals as she could find.
The wood cutters often found the life of exposure hard on them. But the winter of '52 was marked by a record snowfall preventing them from leaving their shanties and also closing them in from outside relief. Finally a succoring party cut their way through the drifts to the wood-cutters. All of the men showed the effects of the extreme cold, but Abel Lee had suffered most. Double pneumonia had gripped him so strongly that there was no hope of recovery. He reached his home and lingered with the beloved wife and little ones for a few days. The eldest son, Bishop Benjamin F. Lee, who passed March 12, 1926, at the age of eighty-four, recalled the last moments when the father summoned the stricken family to him and gave them his parting message to try to be good and strong.
What a change in the life of Sarah Lee, a widow, with six little children! Elizabeth, the eldest, twelve on the day her father died!
Her indomitable spirit gave her such self-reliance that
This brave woman then decided to rent out her home and take a room in town in her brother's home. Here she kept the three youngest children putting the two older boys with relatives to work for their board, clothes and schooling privileges. The eldest daughter was placed with an aunt.
There was almost no opportunity for women to earn money in this rural district, other than to work "at service," for meagre wages. This was no light ordeal for one who, though always poor, had never before labored "for hire." Then, worst of all was the separation from her fatherless children, her beloved circle so broken! Many a bitter tear she shed through the long, weary years of widowhood. Nevertheless she struggled on, trusting in the Lord. Her great solace was the weekly visit to her three absent children. What lessons of probity, endurance and perseverance they received at her knee! Even now, she clung to her reading, inculcating in her boys and girls a love for education and some idea of what was going on in the outside world.
After her debts were all settled and her boys were old enough to work for wages, she moved back to her little home, with her children around her again.
When the eldest son was about twenty years old, he became eager for a better education and decided to go away to school. In this day of opportunity it is hard to picture just what such a decision meant to the entire family. It took a strong woman to be willing to give up the help of her son after waiting so many years for the time to come when he could help bear the burden. Again her Spartan-like qualities asserted themselves. Not only did she consent to his going, but urged him to follow this leading out that he
In spite of her many anxieties she kept cheery and helpful. Her widowhood left but little leisure from its burdens and responsibilities for her to take part in the social life about her. In this way she formed the habit of retirement. But everyone knew that Sarah Lee was a "friend in need," and that what she said was worthy of consideration. She held her place in the community by her solidity, integrity and her endurance through years of hardship.
Her eighty-third birthday found her less rugged in body, but satisfied in the blessed assurance she had redemption through Jesus Christ. Still clear in mind and spirit, she passed on before her eighty-fourth year was completed, leaving the memory of her sterling qualities to her descendants.

It's a sparkling new season and so this equals ... out with promoters holding back and in with some dazzling new line ups to maximise the return of the cities learned book worms. The Green Door Store is a reliable candidate to step forward with its solid reputation for supporting new and innovative music. Teaming up with quirky local promoters Be Nothing who put on and grow bands like Sun Glitters, Outfit, Gross Magic and Com Truise as well as Club Zygotic with their new bi-monthly club night called Spirit of Gravity that aims to liberate electronica. The GDS is also one of the venues that tends to put on some of the best up and coming, musically astounding bands and artists such as welsh weirdo rock Islet (15 November), retro looking bluesy rockers Danny & the Champions of the World (17 November), home grown performance based musician Gazelle Twin (18 November), indie popsters Summercamp (19 November), epic sounding art rocksters Post War Years (6 December) and Danish punks Ice Age (7 December).
Then there's the arts hub of Sticky Mike's Frog bar leaping ahead with it's unique take on what a venue should be about by smudging the boundaries between live art and music. They invite local artists to regularly collaborate on the interiors of the venue, mixing drinks with doodles, along with playing host to a wide range of touring acts like the psych beats of Neon Indian (15 November) and the laidback west coast steppings of TOKiMONSTA (17 November).
And what would Brighton be without another new venue to keep things fresh? The latest project comes from the Playgroup collective who have turned Hector's House into the multi functioning Blind Tiger Cub, part cafe, part live music venue (note the Japanese psychedelic freakers Acid Temple Mothers 18 November), part audiovisual host see Ninja Tune's Hexstatic (25 November) and part place to indulge in retro computer games (13 November) and art.
Dream pop band Fear of Men have to be Brighton's most wanted of late. They have been busy constructing new creations and have recently put out a few limited cassette releases on Sex is Disgusting, streaming the lead track from their latest one, it's called 'Doldrums', they also are currently on a UK tour with Bos Angeles, finishing up at the GDS on 16 December.
Another Brighton favourite has to be Hind Ear with their loosely constructed rhythms of technicolour akin to The Foals and the Fair Ohs, they have recently updated their Soundcloud with a double A-side track release of Coconut and Origami.
Regal Safari on the other hand have just released their debut album powered by a combination of aloofly swaying melody and edgy beats and and and it's free to download. Well worth the bandwidth.
And then there is is the Sussex bred shouty punkings of Shrag who are in the process of completing their third LP 'Canines' to be released early 2012 on WIAIWYA and Fortuna POP. In the meantime you can check them out live, doing what they do best - they will be taking over the Lexington (gasp that's a London venue, surely not allowed here) on 15 November, Wilmington Arms on 16 December and finish with a homecoming show on 17 December at the GDS. Lastly there is the experimental fry up of Peepholes, have they got their album done yet? Yes indeed. It's called 'Caligula' and will be available for consumption on 28 November signed to that something a bit amazingly different label Upset the Rhythm. In the meantime a sneaky taster track called 'Tunnels' is available for your lug holes.
PEEPHOLES - Tunnels by Upset the Rhythm
New to the Brighton guild is the Love They Neighbour imprint run by Esben & the Witches' Daniel Copeland and general happener behind Sticky Mike's Frog bar Andy Rossiter. Their first release is from local singer/songwriter Abi Wade who draws upon investigations into acoustic cello sounds for her unique compositions. The record goes out on 28 November and is entitled Blood and Air EP. Minimal strings, earthy vocals and basic beats, you got it.
Fat Cat offshoot Palmist are soon to put out their 7th release with limited edition 12" split single from New York's Dustin Wong and London's Gentle Friendly on 5 December. Following the thread of the lo-fi ethos laid down by Palmist the artists featured follow a path like no other. Dustin Wong (founding member of Ponytail and Ecstatic Sunshine) provides a circular sonic journey around the human body and Gentle Friendly gives us layers of fuzzed out atmospheric melodies. Soak it up.
So Sex is Disgusting what are they up to? Well one half of the duo behind this label has buzzed off to San Fran for a while, like Brighton wasn't San Fran enough? Aaah well no matter his girlfriend's band La La Vasquez are racking up notoriety. They recently released a split 7" with Neonates on OneC Records, recorded a radio show for the prestigious Maximum Rock & Roll zine and played shows with Bleached, Dunes, Neonates, Cool Moms and Veronica Falls all across America. Meanwhile the Brighton half of the duo is keeping on with Brighton based shows having recently put on Not Not Fun's Maria Minerva and Upset the Rhythm's Cold Pumas in conjunction with DJ/record label/do gooders Where to now? There are also all sorts of plans bubbling away for more releases in 2012, in the meantime SiD leave us with a Sex Tapes cassette release from super fine post punks King Alfred, Man Of Leisure.
The Brighton based collective that is Willkommen Records have been busy this year and to round things off are releasing a brand new single to show off the upbeat folky tinklings of Laish with track 'She Is Clever' on 5 December. This is preceded with a gig at the Unitarian Church in Brighton on 19 November and a full 2012 Euro/UK tour to follow. And then there is the debut EP offering from this good time raucous folk girl/boy vocal led band called Dancehalls due at the beginning of the new year.

Have a listen to "Neptune," the first release off the new mix tape Fantasea by Harlem's hip-hop wunderkind Azealia Banks. The song, featuring British emcee Shystie, transports the listener to some awesome underwater party where everyone's drinking ocean margaritas and a crab is playing a clam like a steel drum.
Could this be the song of the summer? It's definitely in the running.
