You guys are probably wondering why it took so long to post this episode. That is a perfectly valid question. The reason for that is that since Sam was late to the recording session, Chris had to take up the slack and perform hosting duties.
However, since Sam is the editor as well, Chris had to send him all of the audio files and has too busy to do it promptly. Once Sam got it, his work kept him too occupied to do much with it as well. That also explains why the title isn't that great this week either.
Further, since Chris's connection is worse than Sam's, there may be a drop in this episode's audio quality. I apologize on both my behalf and the behalf of the others for this.
Also, we have a guest today. My good friend Nick joined us for this cast. We'll likely consider bringing other guests in from our friends list because why not.
Having said that:
And the MP3 version can be found here. (When it goes up...)
0:00:00 Introduction
This rather unprofessional nature of this introduction can again be chalked up to the rather scatter-shot nature of the recording. We were kinda just winging it, which explains a lot of the awkward pauses and what-not.
0:03:00 We talk about seismic emergencies across the world.
And I'm honestly not entirely sure why.
0:04:45 We talk about the upcoming Fantastic Four movie (and Marvel comic books... and Hollywood)
Honestly, the thing about making Johnny Storm/Human Torch a black man that bothers me is that if they do that, than they might as well make Susan Storm/Invisible Woman (his sister) black as well. Feels like a wasted opportunity to me.
Like I said, I am okay with movie makers re-imagining old characters and putting them in new situations. However, this just feels a bit too textbook Hollywood to me. Far too safe for its own good, despite how different it is.
This does bring up a question though, why DOES Sony want the rights to Spidey so badly? It's not like he's bringing in a whole lot of money for them anymore. It would probably be best for anyone if they just stopped making Spidey movies.
The "laughing scene" I was talking about during this segment, in comparison to Spider-man 3's jazz scene, was the scene from Final Fantasy X. You know the one. My horrible voice combined with Chris's internet made that hard to hear.
Here is the picture of The Thing's look that Nick was talking about.
0:20:45 Chris's internet craps out and briefly ruins the Skype call.
Which is why Chris doesn't host often...
0:22:30 Nick talks about his week.
And we didn't really go into detail about much.
One thing we did go into briefly was Phil Fish. I hope that, for his sake, that he stays out of the industry. No matter what he says, he's going to get shit. That may be deserved on occasion, but not all the time.
We also talked briefly about X-Com and it's expansion.
0:29:30 Nick plays Elder Scrolls Online.
This goes into a broader discussion about MMOs in general.
Also, we go into an Elder Scrolls discussions briefly. For reference, the quest I'm referring to is this week. Like I said in the cast, I like Oblivion a bit more because it's quest design is a lot more interesting than Skyrim's.
0:40:05 Garrett talks about his week.
The train did come through, Chris. Choo choo!
0:40:30 Garrett plays Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer
And good god I hate this topic. I know it's been years since the controversy was a big thing, but Mass Effect 3 still gets under my skin. It was that perfect, critical mass, where everything went wrong in all sorts of ways at the same time.
The multiplayer was just a symptom of that in my opinion. While still good, it felt super tacked on. I had the impression that, like the weapon crafting in Dead Space 3, it exists only for the microtransactions. The article I mentioned (here) talks about the sliminess of them a bit more. Even worse is that it's not for a F2P game, but for a game you're expected to put $60 down for.
0:46:00 Garret and I talk about bows and archery.
I don't consider myself much of an outdoors-man, but it is fun to shoot arrows at a target. It's much more of a mental activity than a physical one, at least for me. I often think back to my physics classes when shooting.
We also went into a discussion about all the various recent games that used bows in some capacity.
0:50:30 Sam joins us.
And Chris's internet REALLY impacts the cast here.
0:53:00 Garrett talks about Clive Barker's Jericho
And likes it more than most people.
0:58:00 I played Project X Zone.
It's an interesting game, to be sure. If I'm being honest, the whole crossover thing doesn't hold my interest as much as I thought it would. It gets a little monotonous the farther you go, because every chapter is more of the same. I'll keep playing because I need something to do on my commutes, but otherwise I don't know how much I'd play it.
1:03:10 Chris, Sam, and I play Dragon's Crown.
Chris and I have even played a few matches.
This game's art direction is equal parts amazing and off-putting to me. On one hand, the environments are cool and some of the characters look really nice. On the other hand, many characters just look so disproportional that it's almost comical.
I still think it's silly that you have to unlock going online. I should like to ask the developers why they decided to do that. The answer is bound to be interesting. Other strange decisions also crop up, especially with regards to online play and pacing, which make it an interesting game to talk about.
Still, I cannot deny that the game is super fun. It's a great brawler/RPG hybrid. The animation is fluid and the gameplay is solid. Playing with friends is awesome, and the risk/reward system encourages you to keep playing as much as possible. It's a game that works in many ways, despite its polarizing art style.
1:24:50 I play Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon.
What many people may not know is that the Megami Tensei series actually pre-dates Poke'mon in the monster capture. Only instead of capturing cute animal creatures, you capture gods and demons from various world religions (which is more awesome in my opinion).
Out of all the SMT games, the Raidou Kuzuhona sub-franchise is one of the better games to introduce someone into the franchise as a whole. Having said that, it is still an SMT game and has some of their usability issues.
I do like how the game encourages you to have a party that is balanced between combat, investigation, and negotiation ability. Lacking in any one aspect will cripple another aspect in some way, so keeping them in balance is the key.
1:34:50 I switch from Twitter's site to Tweetdeck.
As much as I like Twitter, I'm getting tired of all the shit they are trying to do with it. I don't care about what other people are favoriting. I don't need them to censor my feed like Facebook does. All I need is for them to do what they've been doing. It's like YouTube in that every update is making it worse and worse.
1:40:10 Chris plays Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls
It's actually really interesting to note how much they've changed Diablo 3 since launch day. When that game launched, it was an absolute mess. I mean the DRM is still on it, but at least they got rid of the auction house.
It seems like every time microtransactions enter the equation, the developers make their game worse to help justify spending money. Not to say that developers are actively doing this, just that it subconsciously breeds that mentality.
1:48:15 Chris gets a really bad acid burn at work.
Fortunately, he'll be fine. I just hope that it heals quickly and it doesn't scar.
1:52:10 Sam picked up his Vita and played Muramasa: Rebirth
And we spend a lot of time just gushing about that game (and Vanillaware in general) without saying much of substance in this conversation.
We did mention how important it can be to consider usability and other features like subtitles and rebindable controls. It's amazing how not doing small things like that make things work so much better.
1:59:10 Sam talks about how the Vita is doing well.
Compared to how bad some of those old, launch window Vita games were (like Uncharted and AC: Liberation), a lot of the ports and newer Vita games are doing so much better. I can safely recommend the Vita now, because what it does, it does very well.
2:08:35 Sam talks about computer gaming accessories.
And I make fun of him. Can you tell which one of us more serious about PC Gaming?
We also talk stupid titles for PC Gaming Keyboards/Mice. I think "corporate cool" is the best way to think about these kinds of titles. It's clearly trying to look "cool" for younger audiences, but it gives off the impression of trying too hard.
2:17:45 Viewer Question
"Do you think Doom would be a better game if it stayed true to Tom Hall's vision, or do you think it's simplicity was one of the reasons it was so successful to begin with?"
Honestly, I think Hall's vision wouldn't have work. It was too ahead of it's time. In this era, it might work. Back then, it wouldn't have. I submit System Shock 1's failure as evidence supporting my opinion on this matter. System Shock 1 had something more akin to Hall's vision, and it failed. In retrospect, people enjoy it. At the time, it wasn't highly rated. As much as I don't like to admit it, the evidence supports that line of thinking.
Nowadays, that flat out would not work. Games need a story to tie them together today. As a result, the old school mechanical thinking no longer applies. Games have changed a lot in recent years, and their presentations have to change along side them.
The Super Bunny Hop episode Sam refers to is here.
And the podcast cuts off. Again, this is because of the "seat of pants" way we recorded this episode. I apologize for it and promise we'll make up for the low quality next week!

FCC Votes To Lower Prison Phone Call Costs
The Federal Communications Commission has voted to make long distance phone calls from prison inmates more affordable. It is an issue that prison reform advocates have pressed for a decade. According to a statement released by the FCC, an estimated 2.7 million children nationwide would benefit from more communication with an incarcerated parent, but a long distance 15 minute collect call from an inmate can cost over $17 dollars. Under the new rules approved by the federal commission, phone companies wont be able to charge more than $3.75 for that call.
Arizona prison reform advocate Donna Leone Hamm said the FCC's action is a victory for inmates' families and sound public policy.
"Any scientifically appropriate study that has ever been done consistently demonstrate that prisoner's who have consistent contact are far less likely to recidivate when they are released from prison," Hamm said.
The new rates will apply to interstate phone calls made from county jails, state and federal prisons and immigrant detention facilities.

While France Is on the Streets…Give Us Benefits, Benefits, Benefits! Part Five
"Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families that are denied official recognition can miss out on many benefits such as common income tax computations or other benefits that are made available to heterosexual families when a family member dies or is injured. Thus these families can experience serious economic hardship and disadvantages as a result of the lack of recognition of their family." (Source: ILGA Europe)
This poster depicts a "lesbian family" with two women and their children. While it claims to seek equity in benefits between homosexual families and heterosexual families, what it is really demanding is legal recognition of same-sex marriage or civil partnership, as well as official state recognition of both women as the children's parents. After all, it is through these mechanisms that heterosexual couples and their children receive benefits in the event of death or injury.
Concerning the two women, one may be reminded of what has been said above with regard to "survivor's pensions". The granting of common income tax computations is appropriate in cases where, due to the commitment to raising a family, a person has a limited possibility of earning a salary or acquiring pension rights. The idea that such benefits should be granted indiscriminately to all and every same-sex couples — most of whom have double incomes and no children — is absurd.
By appealing to the public's emotional concern for what might happen to the children of these women, the poster ignores the pre-existing obligation of two parents — a biological father and a biological mother — to contribute to their children's subsistence. The children's perspective is thus not an argument that could justify the necessity of legally recognising "same-sex families".
As has been said, the Commission has no business providing any financial support to a campaign which seeks that which many Member States, by their own legislation, have rejected.

Google has updated its free Hangouts iOS app with a major feature: free voice calling anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. The app now integrates Google Voice to make calls over cellular or WiFi.
If you have a Google Voice account, people can reach you directly with that number and incoming calls will show up in the Hangouts app. Outgoing calls will come from your Google Voice number. There is a fee to make international calls, and Voice credits can be purchased towards that.
The update also brings the ability to send and receive animated GIFs in-line. "Incoming messages will no longer stop your music," notes Google. "Instead of interrupting your groove, Google+ Hangouts will now temporarily duck your music, then crank the volume back up."
Apple's FaceTime can make audio-only calls over a data connection, and Facebook updated its Messenger app with free voice calling at the beginning of the year.

As the Nova Scotia economy grows, more opportunities are opening up for skilled immigrants. However, the job market remains competitive, so it is in your best interest to plan your job search.
Cover letter & resume
In Canada, a resume tells employers about your skills, objectives, experience and qualifications. It is an important determining factor in considering you for a job. A resume is normally sent with a cover letter. A cover letter introduces yourself, and your qualifications and abilities. You can find resume writing tips on the Dalhousie University website.
The key to job searching is to get your resume into the right people's hands. You can do this by using contacts and networking, or circulating your resume through open submissions. The most common means of job searching is to respond to job postings or listings online.
Job search websites
There are a number of websites dedicated to listing vacancies in Nova Scotia. These include job boards, government agencies, and job recruitment agencies. If you have an employer in mind, it is also a good idea to watch the "career" section of their website on a regular basis, if one exists.
ISANS Service Skills Match
NOTE: The Internet can be a great tool for job hunting. However, job posting scams are also on the rise. A legitimate employer will never ask you for money for courses, training materials, or equipment. Be wary of any postings that seem "too good to be true" – they probably are, especially if found on job forums that anyone can post to.

I have a son named Carson. He is 5. He is a hot mess. And I couldn't be more in love with him.
It has been one of the greatest joys of my life to watch Carson spend hours outside this summer. He is usually dirty and sweaty. He can most commonly be found by the pond in the back of our house, holding his net, and carefully inspecting something.
My husband says it's the best $7.00 he ever spent, buying that net for Carson. It has resulted in endless hours of entertainment and diversion—for him, and us.
Between his net and his bug vacuum, Carson catches an average of about 37 creatures every day. As soon as I think he has discovered every small creature native to the Midwest, where we live, he comes back to the house with something new. His big sisters and I always apologize to the critters he has captured, whether they be tadpoles, minnows, crayfish, toads, turtles, or a variety of insects. We know that, statistically, their life expectancy has just plummeted.
Carson, with one of his bug-catching devices.
We try to get Carson to put the creatures back in their own habits quickly, to avoid another senseless death, but we are not always successful.
Carson likes to bring all of these animals into our house. When we found a baby turtle in our landscaping, we told the kids to take it out to the pond and release it. A few days later we found it in a bucket, in Carson's bedroom. It was hard to be mad at him. He just wanted a pet of his very own!
When he brought us a wounded bird, we told him to leave it alone and wash his hands. A few hours later, my girls found it in his bed upstairs. He was just trying to love on a wounded creature!
When he brought a few frogs into our house in a glass bowl, I set them out on the porch. The next morning they were dead. Carson blamed me for "hotting them to death" because he thought they died from the heat.
To the left, you can see the infamous net, a tiny frog, and a few tadpoles (in the glass bowl).
Carson has had to learn about consequences this summer. He spent several weeks catching wasps and bees with his bug vacuum. We warned him that he was playing with danger. Sure enough, he got stung on the finger and screamed and screamed.
I would like to say he no longer captures bees and wasps, but this is not true. Bees and wasps are simply too alluring for a 5-year-old boy to completely avoid. It is hard for a little boy to have self-control sometimes.
We were hoping he would learn more about consequences and self-control from the small allowance he gets. He gets $1.25 every week. Unfortunately, he can't manage to save more than a few dollars at a time. The other day I noticed that his life savings amounted to about $3.00. Later that day, we went to our local children's museum and played at an outdoor exhibit. As the kids were running around, I happened to glance at a nearby snack stand and saw Carson standing in line, pulling some cash out of his pocket. Unbeknownst to me, he had brought his life savings with him and was planning to buy something. He wanted Dipping Dots but it was $4.50. Gatorade was "only" $3.00 so he settled for that.
Yes, Carson spent his life savings on Gatorade. But that's a boy's prerogative, I suppose. It might be a while before he is able to completely master self-control. (Along with the rest of us!)
In the meantime, I'm just going to enjoy this rough-around-the-edges, wonderful boy. How I love him!

text: Egypt: construction magnate's revelations lead to nationwide protests – "Sisi must go!" President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, is not a man familiar with the concept of shame. Perhaps that is why Donald Trump recently referred to him as his "favourite dictator". Or perhaps the US commander-in-chief was just trying to make him feel better as the last of his authority in the eyes of the Egyptian people was ebbing away. Sitting calmly with a microphone in hand at the impromptu youth forum hastily arranged at his behest, Sisi did what his closest advisors had begged him to refrain from doing. He addressed the nation.

Lilith And The She-Snake In The Eden Of Lies: A Bedtime Story.
Grandmother Lilith poked at the dying fire, her youngest granddaughter snuggling deeply into the comfort of her bosom.
These were the last of her days, the original Witch knew, and she wondered if her legacy would be strong enough.
Grandmother, tell me the story of the She-Snake, the little one whispered. And how you escaped from the garden.
Lilith's lined face curled into a smile, and she clicked her tongue. Surely, you must be tired of hearing that one.
Never, affirmed the small Witch. I will never get tired of your story.
Lilith acquiesced, pulling the blankets tighter over her namesake. Very well.
The Old One began, her voice grumbling into the night with all the thunder of an Autumn storm:
The original Witch pressed her bare back against the Tree of Knowledge, and sunk her teeth deep into the forbidden fruit. She wondered how anything unholy could taste so sweet, and she wondered why her husband's God, supposedly the divine light manifest in sacred, masculine spirit, would place pure evil in her garden.
The apple tasted of garnet-glittered electric passion, and every bite ignited the She-Fire between her legs. Every sensation on her tongue was an eruption of Earth-Magick, and the Priestess of the Garden learned a little more about her birthright with each lick of the apple's skin.
Before her were dewy flowers of every color, pulsing with vibrant nature-light. Only when she partook of the forbidden fruit could she see the sheer power of the Mother God. Why has her husband not told her of the feminine divine? She wondered. Why does he discount her sexual power, her body, and her will?
Why does he believe he owns this Eden when, quite clearly, they are a part of this one Earth-Body?
She clenched her jaw tightly now, feeling betrayed. If I leave, the original Witch whispered, they will condemn me as a woman scorned, a fallen angel. They will say my body was weak, and my eyes were blind.
But how could she stay in place where half-truths were all she was told? How could she live with a man who sought only to dominate and to own her as property?
She dug her hands deep into the muddy ground now, having to bury the apple's core so there would be no evidence. The mud was cold and gritty, smelling at once of both life and death. Her husband told her she was born of mud, as if it were a disdainful origin, but she saw the mystic mystery in the stuff.
Born of mud, I am. Daughter of the Mother God, I am. Slathering some of the earthen sludge on her face and her breasts, she rebelled against purity.
The fruit had only been forbidden because of the clarity it offered. The Garden Priestess recalled her husband's face now, knowing that his warnings and his accusations were born of fear. The knowledge the tree had gifted her was this: She was a woman, and she was the formidable force of the feminine.
She was the magick of a seed sprouting, the newborn lamb being birthed, the in-breath and the out-breath, the bud opening, and the egg hatching. She was everything, and this world was far too small for her. If she was going to be wielded like so much malleable clay, she would have to be told of her inferiority.
Now she knew the truth she was never meant to learn, and there could be no turning back.
Behind her, a black She-Snake spiraled down the tree trunk and on to her shoulders. The original Witch knew right away who this creature truly was; She was the Mother God embodied, and She emanated the Creatrix-frequency.
This sultry, slippery She-Snake was a lover of the wild, the ruler of the death-birth-death cycle, and She was the one so-feared by her uninitiated man.
The She-Snake hissed: Dig up those apple cores, child, and let them call you a sinner. Go into the night and find a man who will revel in your sacral magick, who will let you straddle him without feeling his masculinity is threatened. Rest assured that your husband's God is not one who only serves man, as he would have you believe.
The true God is a sacred lover of all things, as am I, the true Goddess. The light, the dark, the Spirit, and the Soul, all of these are divinity, and all of these are you.
She listened, this knowing butterfly, beginning to frantically harvest the evidence of her learning, tossing the rotten and worm-eaten remnants of disobedience on the ground. The She-Snake continued: Do you understand what I'm telling you, Woman? I am saying you are God-Goddess, All Things Holy.
Leave this place where they will seek to keep you down. Go into the night, let them call you a winged demon, and carve out a life for yourself worthy of your magnificence.
The Witch lay breathless on the ground now, surrounded by the tasted forbidden. The She-Snake slithered onto her belly, curling into a black heap and flicking Her tongue in time with her heartbeat.
There was silence for a while, as these Mothers of the New Age lay dormant. The original Priestess spoke then: And you? Where will you go? You must feel caged in this Eden of Lies!
The She-Snake raised Her head, yellow diamonds looking squarely into the eyes of the feminine fire-force embodied in a human woman. The She-Snake answered: I will stay here until the world is ready for me. I will lie in wait while the world becomes riddled with greed, war, and corruption.
I will see the horrors of ego-born fear and soulless individualism weigh our daughters down like heavy chains, and I will resist, with all that I am, the urge to burn it all down. They will call me a devil, and they will call you the same.
The Witch frowned, propping herself up on her elbows. Why would you do that? Why would you forsake our daughters and our Earth? We need you! Without you, we are blind!
The She-Snake hissed, bowing Her black head: You will learn, child, that the greatest growth comes from great wounding; it is true for every human soul, and it is true for the whole of the global community.
We must first be in absolute agony, we must have our egos struck hard with the swords of injustice and rage, we must grieve what we have lost, and we must bleed on the ground. Only then will my daughters begin to speak of me; then you will know that the dawn is coming.
Witches will begin to circle openly and fearlessly, and the world will no longer accept decisions made behind closed, golden doors. There will be a revolution of womb, and it will not be peaceful.
Tears streamed down Lilith's cheeks, forming rivulets in the caked mud: No. No, I won't go without you. You have shown me so much. You have shown me the world.
Sliding onto the ground, the She-Snake wound from left to right, returning to the Tree of Knowledge: I have told you nothing that you did not already know, Lilith. Remember that I am you. All the power I have vibrates inside of your Witch's bones. You are the Mother-God, and She is you.
Your daughters, granddaughters, and their children will harbor this deep-knowing in their blood, and, one day, they will rise to claim their birthright as the holy feminine.
The tree began to shake infinitesimally and dozens of apples fell to the ground. Gather these to take with you, my love, the She-Snake spoke with finality. Give them out to every little girl you meet. Share with them what you know, and tell them who they are.
She filled her arms with as many apples as she could carry, taking one last look at her too-small life, and leaving the garden forever.
The original Witch held the promise of the She-Snake close to her heart, telling her own daughters of their divinity, begging them to question the validity of an external god-spirit who would condemn their bodies and their power.
Crone Lilith let her last words hang in the air, shaping the dreams of her sleeping granddaughter. In her mind's eye, she could see the She-Snake's coiled body wrapping itself around the Tree of Knowledge, guarding it with natural magick until the right time came.
She fixed her gaze on the full mother moon and black sky glittered with holy stars.
The awakening is coming, whispered Grandmother Lilith, stroking the hair of her young one. All is coming.

[…] Lilith, I welcome you and your brave heart to this table. On this sacred night, I remember your refusal to accept the conditions they set for you, and I remember your liberation from the sweet floral prison built to contain your sexuality, your wit, and your fem-force. You are a fire-walker, sent into the desert to repent the sin of feminine independence, and you risked much in the dangerous search for your own house. […]

DATE: Monday 27th October 2014,
TIME: 12.30pm – 2pm
LOCATION: Easterbrook Hall, Dumfries
The Scottish Parliament's Local Government and Regeneration Committee is coming to Dumfries as part of its scrutiny of two pieces of legislation, the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Bill and the Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Bill. More information about these Bills can be found on the Committee's webpage:
Community Empowerment (Scotland) Bill
Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Bill
Community Engagement Event
The Committee will hold a community engagement event to hear the views of individuals and the 'voice' of organisations active in the community with a central focus on community empowerment. Later, the Committee will hold a formal meeting at which it will take evidence from invited witnesses on Participation Requests and Asset Transfer Requests (see below). This meeting is open to the public if you wish to observe it.
The community event will provide an opportunity for participants to discuss informally their views with MSPs. We would like to hear from local community groups (including community councils), third sector organisations, charities, business representatives and individuals from across Dumfries and Galloway.
Issues to be considered will include:
· proposed changes to the Community Planning system
· widening of the Community Right to Buy land
· new formal process for Participation Requests, e.g. request by a community group to improve a service
· new formal process for Asset Transfers Requests of public sector owned land or buildings
· new duty on local authorities to maintain a register of Common Good Property and consult the community about isposal or change of use
· Updating of Allotments legislation and new waiting list duty on local authorities
· Local Authority Licensing (air weapons, alcohol, taxis and private hire cars, metal dealers, sexual entertainment venues and public entertainment venues)
MSPs on the Committee intend to draw upon the outcome of these discussions to help them reach their view on the Bills.
Formal Committee Meeting
The Committee meeting will last approximately from 2.30pm to 4.30pm and take place at Easterbrook Hall. This will see invited witnesses giving evidence, on the record, on the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Bill. Following the meeting there will be a 30 minute public Question and Answer session giving audience members the opportunity to ask questions to the committee based upon the topics discussed at the meeting.
Booking essential. Places are limited for both the community engagement event and the public gallery of the formal meeting, so booking is essential.
If you would like to take part, or watch the Committee meeting please contact the Local Government and Regeneration Committee via email: [email protected]
You can also ring 0131 348 6040 or 0131 348 5223 to book a place. The deadline for bookings is Friday 17th October 2014.

Treat your Part Time business like a JOB!
Here's a few things you can do:1. Set hours for your business and SHOW UP!The number of hours you set aside for your business each week doesn't matter nearly as much as showing up when you say you will.2. Put deadlines on your business projects.Break down your big projects into bite size chunks and set deadlines. Then meet those deadlines! When you do, reward yourself. When you don't, figure out why not — be honest!3. Get others involvedShare the information in #1 and #2 with your family, friends, or an accountability partner. Make sure they know what you plan to do, so they can help hold you to it. Don't rely on self-monitoring here.4. Make a plan so you don't waste time.Make sure you understand exactly what the best use of your time is, then put together a work plan that puts those things first.5. Never ever ever ever (ever) sit down at your computer and think, "What should I do today?".If you follow step 4, this shouldn't happen, but you'd be surprised how many Part Timers I talk to who fall into this trap. The result is a MONUMENTAL waste of valuable time.
- Start working when you said you would.
- Hit your deadlines.
- Make a solid plan of action.
- Don't make excuses.
- Don't lie to yourself (or others) to get out of not doing your job.
To your success!

Is Stainless Steel Magnetic?
This depends on what elements are added during manufacture but generally the 300 series (which contains nickel) is negligibly responsive to magnetic fields. Therefore the common 304 and 316 grade stainless steels are not magnetic. When they cool after manufacture, the iron remains in the form of austenite (gamma iron), a phase of iron which is nonmagnetic. 304 grade is widely used for cookware and 316 grade for marine applications.
The 400 series stainless steel (contains chromium and no nickel) is magnetic. 430 grade is used in washing machines drums for example.

"The views represented in this opinion piece do not necessarily represent those of the Willy Brandt School of Public Policy."
It has been suggested that a country can be judged by the attitude of its car drivers. If that is true, one trip to Lagos, the economic capital of Nigeria, will convince anyone of the natural impatience of Nigerians. Almost everything is a competition, and there is always a sense of urgency to outduel others. Politics and governance have not been spared from this impatience, and, in this case, it is usually a duel of mediocrity. As an election year, 2019 was always going to be interesting for Nigerians, and the level of political awareness in the country adds to the spectacle, as many citizens are not able to distinguish between facts and propaganda. Like previous elections, this election is pitching two strong candidates against one another, along with numerous bystanders with an almost non-existent chance of posing a meaningful threat to the front-runners.
The Septuagenarians
In a country not lacking of distinguished intellectuals in their field of study, Nigeria has managed to present as leading presidential candidates: two men who are very similar, yet very different.
President Muhammadu Buhari is a former military dictator who made three failed attempts at the Presidency in 2003, 2007, and 2011. In 2015, he teamed with other opposition leaders and, running on an anti-corruption campaign, successfully unseated then President Goodluck Jonathan. It was the first time in the history of Nigeria that a sitting president lost a re-election bid. Three and half years later, there are indications that he may suffer the same fate. His harshest critics rightly point to the fact that he appears clueless and does not understand even the basic principles of governance. His anti-corruption mantra has left many bewildered, as there has been no significant improvement in that regard. On the contrary, he appears to protect his friends and associates accused of corruption. He has repeatedly violated constitutional provisions and court orders. For example,, he sanctioned the suspension of the Chief Justice on the basis of an unconstitutional order by quasi-judicial court under the control of the executive arm of government. His strength is in his popularity in the northern part of the country where, despite his clear lack of performance, he still commands a massive followership.
Abubakar Atiku served as Vice President between 1999 and 2007. Prior to joining politics, he rose through the ranks at the Nigerian Custom Service, and has been accused of corruption throughout his career. There is a general perception that, although he may be corrupt, he has proven himself to be a shrewd businessman who understands the need to build an economic structure that encourages foreign investment. His weakness lies in his reputation for corruption, his inability to remain in one party for a substantial period, and his running on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, which was castigated for 16 years (1999-2015) on account of waste and misadministration.
Both Buhari and Atiku are from Fulani extraction (one of the largest ethnic group in West Africa, widely known for their nomadic pastoral lifestyle), in their seventies, and were formerly in the military. However, on one hand, Buhari is known for his integrity, but also his sheer incompetence. On the other hand, Atiku is believed to be blatantly corrupt, but talented and clever. This was exemplified by a recent analysis done by the Eurasia Group, which found the incumbent too weak to change the fortunes of the country, while the candidate of the major opposition will likely only serve to enrich his cronies [1].
However, this election is being wrongly framed as a fight between integrity and competence. The supporters of both parties have managed to argue on the strength of their candidate, while criticizing the weakness of their opponent. In reality, an objective view of both candidates is difficult to obtain, with no distinctive features that truly separate them. The candidate that preaches integrity governs over an administration that is accused of ethnic bias and is perceived to be fighting a selective war against corruption. For example, the recent suspension of the top judicial officer in the country further strengthens critics' argument that the anti-corruption crusade of the President is discriminatory and laced with ulterior motives. While the Chief Justice's misdoing deserves a thorough investigation, the speed it took for the allegation to be filed and punishment apportioned leaves the entire country with a stench of hidden agenda. Meanwhile, the candidate preaching competence was the Vice President of an administration that wasted inordinate time and funds on several projects with little results.
The election takes place this Saturday, and, regardless of who emerges victorious between the two main candidates, the narration of the country is not expected to change much. It will be very surprising if even 5% of educated Nigerians understand the socioeconomic strategies of their preferred candidate. This is mainly because both parties have not spent much time talking about their ideas on how to steer the country towards success. The masses that are expected to hold politicians accountable have been blindfolded by the attention paid to mundane things, such as the visa issues faced by Atiku (he is alleged to have pending corruption cases in the United States, and would therefore be unable to secure a visa to or visit the US) and the educational history of Buhari (there are allegations that the President never graduated, and therefore has no secondary school certificate), and these have taken precedence more meaningful issues.
The Pretenders
While not meant to be derogatory, there are indeed, in the Nigerian context, pretenders aspiring to the office of the President – the so called "third force", a coalition of neutrals aiming to take over from the two major political parties. Former Education Minister and "Bring Back Our Girls" activist Dr. Oby Ezekwesili spearheads this movement. Initially creating some level of engagement and interest, they have since fizzled out. The politics of "I Over We" derailed any form of momentum that was built by the neutrals, who would rather have a vibrant and upright government than one of the two unappealing choices. The initial plan was to have a consensus candidate among them, but no one was willing to sacrifice his or her individual candidacy, hence citizens stopped taking them serious. It appears true that the current political structure cannot support the aspiration of neutral political actors. The sheer size and magnitude of resources needed to win an election in the country make it difficult for anyone outside the main political actors to get a foothold into the system.
As Nigerians have always done since the return to democratic governance in 1999, chances are that immediately after the 2019 election, citizens will forget politics and return to their daily lives for the next three years, only to realign themselves with a candidate in the lead up to the 2023 election. However, not all is gloomy. Nigerians hopefully will learn that politicians can never serve without adequate evaluation of their actions, and that it makes mockery of democracy to merely sit and wait for the next election cycle before seeking to change what is wrong.
There is an urgent need to set things in motion to truly change how politics and government are viewed and managed in the country. The political spectators need to be actively involved and engage their constituents; intellectuals and activists need to speak with a unified voice; candidate bystanders should unite and provide a viable alternative to the "family and friends" politics; citizens need to put aside prejudice and support the best candidate, regardless of their ethnic or religious status. This is how meaningful change for Nigeria must arise. Otherwise, the next presidential election will be as uninspiring as the current race.[1] https://www.eurasiagroup.net/live-post/risk-10-nigeria

What do the readers of Food & Wine, Food Network, and BuzzFeed have in common? "Everyone, everywhere wants slow cooker recipes," explains Sarah DiGregorio in an email to Extra Crispy, adding, "but sometimes that content ends up feeling repetitive, revolving around big hunks of meat." That was the inspiration for her new cookbook Adventures in Slow Cooking: 120 Slow-Cooker Recipes for People Who Love Food, which is full of slow cooker recipes for every meal. And it turns out there are a lot of breakfast dishes you can make in your slow cooker—like granola.
Now, granola might not be an obvious choice to make in a slow cooker. But if you've spent any time on the internet, you'll know it's not a totally foreign idea. "In Pinterest-land, I had seen recipes for slow-cooker snack mixes (like Chex mix), and since granola and snack mix techniques are roughly similar (toasting dry ingredients with oil or butter and seasonings) I wondered if granola might work well in the slow cooker, too," says DiGregorio.
It did, though she found the key to making this slow cooker granola recipe work is to actually leave the lid open slightly, "to prevent condensation from building up and making the mixture soggy," she explains. "It also ensures that the ingredients toast very slowly and gently, though you do need to stir every now and then to make sure that everything gets evenly golden."
Making granola in a slow cooker instead of the oven is a great way to save on energy costs, or just make granola when it's hot out and you don't want to turn your kitchen into an inferno. DiGregorio adds, "And if you're forgetful, or need to run out for a bit, a slow cooker granola is more forgiving—it won't burn as quickly as an oven version if it's left to its own devices for a little while."
The best part? This recipe for slow cooker granola is endlessly customizable. "You can swap out the nut, dried fruit, and spices for your favorites. As long as you keep the basic ratios of oats, oil, nuts and sweetener, it will work perfectly. For instance," DiGregorio says, "you could do cashews and dried mango instead of the pistachios and apricots. You could go super fall and do hazelnuts, dried apples and cinnamon."
So go ahead and turn your slow cooker into a granola making machine with this recipe from Adventures in Slow Cooking by Sarah DiGregorio.
Granola with Pistachios, Coconut, and Cardamom
From Adventures in Slow Cooking by Sarah DiGregorio. Copyright © 2017 by Sarah DiGregorio. Reprinted by permission of William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.
How to Make It
Generously grease a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker with the oil. Add the oats, pistachios, and coconut flakes and toss to evenly combine.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the ½ cup oil. Stir in the maple syrup, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the spiced coconut oil to the slow cooker and toss to evenly coat the oat mixture. Set the slow cooker lid ajar, leaving a gap of about 2 inches. (The vent prevents the granola from getting soggy.) Cook the granola on HIGH until well toasted, about 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes so that it doesn't burn around the edges.
Pour the granola out onto a baking sheet. Toss in the apricots and spread out the mixture evenly. Cool the granola completely to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Commerce Secretary Rita Teaotia today met the US Under Secretary for Commerce, Stefan Selig, as part of an inter- ministerial discussion to deliberate on the agenda, structure and deliverables for the first ministerial level meeting of the elevated 'Strategic and Commercial Dialogue' to be held in Washington on September 22, the Commerce & Industry said in a release.
The issues that are likely to be taken up for discussion at 'strategic & commercial dialogue' (S&CD) from both sides were deliberated at length under the aegis of each of the six Joint Working Groups, it said.
The dialogue steered by the External Affairs Ministry and the India-US Commercial Dialogue in existence since 2000 and steered by Department of Commerce were clubbed as one dialogue under the Delhi Declaration released during President Obamas visit to India in January.
The composite dialogue would be co-chaired by the External Affairs Minister and the Commerce and Industry Minister from Indian side and US Secretary of State John Kerry and US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker from the American side.
Earlier in the day, Selig said these dialogues will revolve around four areas -- ease of doing business; innovation and entrepreneurship; smart cities with a specific focus on renewable energy, and harmonisation of standards to increase trade.
"The S&CD will be the signature, annual dialogue...It will serve as a high-level meeting between senior government and Cabinet officials as well as an ongoing, sustainable forum for policy discussions," he added.
This commercial track would be a platform for both short-term and long-term deliverables, he said, adding that S&CD would focus on not only securing near-term trade and investment outcome, but areas of long-term collaboration.
"These steps can also be seen as four ambitious and important goals. The first goal is perhaps the most ambitious: to increase bilateral trade five-fold from $100 billion today to $500 billion annually," he added.
The US holds a similar strategic and economic dialogue with China.

John is passionate about helping family businesses plan for succession. Planning and choosing a successor for a family business can be fraught with challenges and it can be unsettling. Especially in family businesses, succession planning can involve a lot of emotional turmoil. It is often helpful to turn to an outside, impartial Advisor for help with navigating the process. Having a sound succession plan in place can help take some of the emotion out of the planning and help ease the transition for both the business owner and his or her successors.
Succession planning is only one piece of comprehensive business transition planning. There is no one-size-fits-all formula for successful transitions.
Depending on your business, it could take one to three years to comfortably organize and implement an effective succession plan and there are a number of financial decisions that will need to be made (e.g., whether to gift or sell shares to heirs and how to keep the taxes to a minimum).
Inevitably, there is a lot of family wealth to protect inside a business. Owners have choices in what type of ownership transition strategy and succession plan will be most beneficial for them, their family members, and their business.

King Felix's achievement shows just how unreachable Nolan Ryan's career record is
We are living in a time of historically high strikeouts. The major league rate of Ks per nine innings first cracked 7.00 in 2010 and hit an all-time high of 7.73 per nine innings in 2014. This year it's down slightly to a mere 7.60.
All this means we are seeing some historic achievements in the field of the whiff.
Sunday was one of those days to see history. Felix Hernandez became the fourth-youngest pitcher to strike out 2,000 hitters in his career. Clayton Kershaw also hit a round number, reaching the 1,500-strikeout plateau. In New York, Michael Pineda struck out 16 Orioles, the most strikeouts in the live ball era for an American League pitcher in a start of seven innings or fewer.
MORE: MLB's all-time strikeout leaders
There is one piece of strikeout history that remains out of anyone's reach, and figures to continue to be so for a long time: Nolan Ryan's career record of 5,714. Hernandez's feat in particular serves as the reminder of just how ridiculous of a number 5,714 is.
Hernandez reached 2,000 strikeouts — 2,001, in fact — at the age of 29 years and 32 days. Ryan's 2,000th strikeout came on Aug. 31, 1976, when he was 29 years and exactly seven months old. So, why is it unrealistic to think that Hernandez could eventually approach Ryan?
Start with longevity. Ryan pitched unitl he was 46, and had his sixth career 300-strikeout season at the age of 42. Will Hernandez pitch that long, and remain a prolific strikeout artist so deep into his career? Ryan is the only 40-year-old ever to record a 300-strikeout season.
Hernandez's career high for strikeouts in a season is 248, set last year. That's 10 strikeouts shy of Bert Blyleven's best year. Why is Blyleven important? He's fifth on the all-time list with 3,701 strikeouts, a figure that, added to Hernandez's career total, would come up 12 short of tying Ryan. Remember, Ryan isn't just the only member of the 5,000 club, he tacked on another 714 after that.
To catch Ryan, Hernandez would need to equal his career high every year through 2029, then tack on another 43 strikeouts in 2030. Kershaw's career high for strikeouts also is 248, so he would have to match that total every year through 2031, then add another 53 strikeouts in 2032 to catch Ryan.
That kind of longevity is not impossible, but it is so unlikely as to be laughable. The Favorite Toy, the long-range projection tool created by Bill James, puts Hernandez at 3,583 strikeouts for his career and Kershaw at 3,325. It gives both a 0 percent chance of reaching 5,714. Following Ryan's age 29 season, the Favorite Toy would have projected him for 3,948 strikeouts, with a 1 percent chance of getting to 5,714.
Even with extreme longevity, part of what makes it so hard to get to Ryan is the way that pitchers are handled now. If you haven't noticed, it's more conservatively than it used to be.
Only one pitcher in the 2010s has made 35 starts in a single season, and that was in 2010 when Chris Carpenter did it. That's the nature of a five-man rotation, whereas Ryan had eight seasons of 35 or more starts.
The only active pitchers to have thrown 250 innings in a single season are CC Sabathia (253 in 2008) and Justin Verlander (251 in 2011). The last time a pitcher threw 280 innings was in 1987, when Charlie Hough and Roger Clemens did it. Ryan had five seasons of 280-plus innings, which were all but one of his 300-strikeout seasons.
It's not all about years, starts and innings for Ryan, though. He still struck out 9.55 batters per nine innings over the course of his career, a figure that would have led the National League in 2012, extended over 27 years. Hernandez is at 8.54 for his career, and his career high was 9.51, two years ago. The way to catch the Ryan Express is not to go at a slower pace.
But then, how did Hernandez get to 2,000 strikeouts six months younger than Ryan was when he did it? King Felix has been ruling in Seattle since 2005, when he was 19. He has thrown 2,109.1 innings. Ryan also debuted at 19, but from 1966-71, he was bounced between starting and relief with the Mets. At the end of the game when he reached 2,000 strikeouts, Ryan had thrown 1,874 innings.
Hernandez is incredible, one of the great strikeout pitchers – great overall pitchers, really — of a generation full of strikeout pitchers. He has a good chance to wind up in the all-time top 10 in strikeouts. That he has pretty much no chance of becoming No. 1 is a testament to just how mind-boggling Ryan was in posting a record that figures to live on well beyond baseball's current strikeout-heavy era.

In the beginning we people have ordinary mobile phones and the aim behind buying those simple mobile phones is to either receive/attend the calls or to chat with closed one's using SMS. In the early time our mobile phones have limited additional functionalities. If you look back to the previous time, you would realize how fast the technology has changed. Nowadays even a simple mobile phone provides their customer facility of other messaging apps and much more. People are now addicted to the new mobile messaging apps. You would see that messaging apps have now become the popularity amongst the youngsters.
The reason behind why social messaging apps are in boom as compared to the SMS is that social messaging apps are more exciting and cheaper as compared to the SMS services. SMS services is actually a huge thing for those people who have average mobile phones, whereas the other messaging apps have raised their standards as compared to the SMS service and is now popular to everyone. On other hand it has been seen that the usage of the text messaging apps as compared to the SMS is much higher also it is cheaper than SMS services.
When it comes to the mobile text messaging apps they are now widely known by everyone and apps like such are easy to install on your smart phones and is available on iPhone, Blackberry, Nokia, Android Phones, etc. These messaging apps are free for limited trial version and then after fixed interval you need to pay a small amount to enjoy unlimited services that too for a longer time period. These mobile apps not only provide you free messaging, but also there are some mobile messaging apps that provide you free calling services. Isn't that surprising? All you need to have is unlimited Internet connection facility.
Chat apps are popular and incredibly useful, however, there are also some faults with using messenger apps as your method of communicating. Like what, exactly? Here are a few of the cons of messaging apps.
Messaging applications are powered by wifi, which is great - it's cheaper than paying for a messaging plan (even the cheapest plans can be more money than they're worth). But it can also be inconvenient when you aren't near a wifi hotspot and need to send someone an important message. To remedy this, you might just turn on your mobile data. But what happens when you run out of data for the month and aren't near a hotspot? Nothing. At this point, you simply can't use your messaging app.
Chat apps are notorious for how fast they send messages, but at the same tie, they're also known for not sending messages at all. How? It comes down to service and connection. Some messaging apps have a higher percent of failed messages than others, but all apps succumb to failed messages at some point, and it can be frustrating. It's especially frustrating when the recipient never receives the message you sent at all.
This fault is also tied to the app's connection. Sometimes when a message is sent, the recipient will get it more than once. This is due to a bad connection between the app and the recipient's cellphone. Although not harmful, this can be extremely annoying for the message's recipient.
Even with most applications requiring people to know a person's handle, ID, or username in order to message them, some people still manage to send spam messages. It's not unheard of to receive messages from random people on messaging apps. How said people find your unique username isn't certain, but it's been thought that through some apps' suggestions, spammers can find users with certain words or letter sets in their username and initiate a conversation. This, however, is only the case if the spammer is a real person. In the case of receiving a spammy message from an obviously fake person, it's usually a virus trying to infiltrate your cellphone or trick you into purchasing something.
As a rule of thumb, when using messenger apps you just need to think before you respond to strangers or click on strange links that are sent to you.

Andy Murray believes Britain is in a strong position to win the Davis Cup, but insists he is taking nothing for granted.
The final against Belgium is tied at 1-1 after the first day of play at the Flanders Expo in Ghent and Andy and Jamie Murray are hot favourites to win the doubles rubber on Saturday.
Should they do so, victory for Murray over Belgian number one David Goffin on Sunday would clinch Britain's first Davis Cup title since 1936.
He almost got a helping hand from debutant Kyle Edmund but, having led by two sets to love against world number 16 Goffin, the 20-year-old lost 3-6 1-6 6-2 6-1 6-0.
Murray had his tough moments against Ruben Bemelmans and his vocal army of supporters, receiving a point penalty for swearing, but was comfortable enough in winning 6-3 6-2 7-5.
The Murrays have won dramatic doubles rubbers against both France and Australia this year, and the world number two said: "I believe in myself. I believe in me and Jamie as a doubles team, as well.
"But it's obviously going to be tough. Goffin's a top-quality player when he plays well. I'm aware that will be a very tough match to win. In the doubles, Davis Cup is always tough, never easy, just because of the way doubles is played.
"I believe we can win the tie, obviously, otherwise there would be no point in us being there. But it's going to be tough, for sure.
"I don't think (the doubles is) as important as in some of the ties. I believe if we lost the doubles, we could win two singles on Sunday. Kyle could have won today. If he was to play at that level against (Steve) Darcis, that's not an easy match for Darcis."
Belgium named Darcis and Kimmer Coppejans as their doubles team at the draw on Saturday but it would be a surprise if they did not bring either Bemelmans or Goffin in.
Whether they would want Goffin to play all three days is debatable but the 24-year-old was on a high after his first ever comeback from two sets down.
He said: "I'm feeling really good. I'm ready if I have to play tomorrow and Sunday.
"Sometimes some wins like this give you more confidence, when you're not playing your best level, but you are playing with your heart. For tomorrow and for Sunday, my motivation is higher than before the match."
British captain Leon Smith also has a big decision to make about who out of Edmund or the experienced James Ward would play a decisive fifth rubber should it come down to it.
Edmund did not sound like he expected it to be him.
The Yorkshireman said: "The team and myself obviously will look at what I'm doing physically. Our opinions, should I play, shouldn't I play, should James come in. Whatever happens, again, I'll give my best. That's all I can do."

Care InformationThrives in organically rich, slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soils, but highly adaptable. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Fertilize before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, prune annually to shape.
History:The meservae hybrids were recently developed in New York during the 1960s. Breeders sought to increase cold hardiness and improve visual appeal by crossing various holly species, with emphasis on those from norther Japan. The most well known parent is English holly, Ilex aquifolium, native from Europe to Asia. The Asian species includes Japanese Ilex integra and I. crenata. Genus Ilex contains over 300 species from around the world and on every continent. A sport of Monrovia's Little Rascal® Holly, Scallywag™ was discovered by a Monrovia craftsman, introduced in 2011 and awarded "Best Shrub" at the 2011 Farwest New Varieties Showcase.
Lore:Holly was named Ilex after a prickly leaf European oak, Quercus ilex. Holly and oaks were both sacred plants to the ancient Celts who honored holly for retaining its foliage through winter. It was believed that the spirits of vegetation were strongest in evergreen plants and therefore brought into homes for winter blessings from nature.
