It's funny. Crazy Taxi must be the king of ported titles as far as I can remember. This game has been on more systems than.. well... it's been on a few lets just say that for now. Want to know something else funny? As far as I am concerned the GameCube incarnation is the best one thus far and well worth the doing.
That said, it is weird because we know that although Acclaim bought the license, Sega did not allow any changes to be made to the title. I think that the Cube is just capable of providing a better environment than any other console for this title.
For those not in the know, the premise behind this great arcade game is simple. You drive a cab and take fares. Got someone in the cab? Great! Get them there as quick as you can for dollars and rankings as there are no road rules to worry about.
The quicker you get someone to their destination the more time you get for the next fare and that's what the game is all about: getting to the next place as quick as possible to keep playing.
The sheer level of addiction to the title will keep it in your cube or at the worst taken out for very short bursts of time.
Passengers will be quite vocal when you pick them up and you can be choosy to a certain extent as the dollar sign colour above them indicates how far they have to travel. Red means a short trip, Yellow a bit further and Green means a cross country hike. Green fares are fun to pick up however you have to be on your toes the whole time.
Sounds are fantastic and fully suit the mood of the game. Music chores are handed by Offspring and Bad Religion so you should be driving like a maniac in no time with those tunes pumping out your speakers!
Three game modes will see you going nuts with this game for ages to come as there are so many options and things to do that it is not funny. There is Arcade, which is essentially exactly the same game you have played in the Arcade and wasted countless dollars on.
Then you have the Original mode which is what Sega added onto the game for the Dreamcast version. It's funny but this is my least favourite part. It still rocks but Crazy Taxi is a arcade racer at heart and this didn't seem to have the same depth. Also it was the first time that I noticed any nuisance pop up occurring during gameplay that actually affected my performance such as cars suddenly appearing.
Finally and to some enthusiasts you have Crazy Box mode. You can't knock these guys for packing it all in for your gaming pleasure. Crazy Box mode has everything you that wanted but weren't sure they could deliver on and boy could they deliver!
This is one of the beauties of modern gaming. Hidden areas and mini games within the main title. It's by playing all these through and seeing exactly how much is packed onto the disc that will convince you that you spent your money wisely, even if my review does not! Just check out what Crazy Box mode has in store for you.
Crazy Box mode is a series of mini games comprising of:
There have been complaints over the age of the title, but seriously get over it. The game looks just as good if not better now and some things will never cease to be a load of fun which will ensure their place in things for years to come from now.
Crazy Taxi is just such a title and I for one always get a blast out of it. Try at your next party handing around the controller playing Arcade mode. The coolest thing about it is that for one, everyone will get a turn unless you have an unnamed prodigy in your midst, and secondly the game is so much fun that everyone will have a dumb grin on their face. If the first game is this good and has been around for so long now, bring on Crazy Taxi 2! It's been on Dreamcast long enough already! Time to share!
Get Crazy Taxi today as there is something on this disc that will appeal to all ages and all gamers.

NASA and the lost moon landing tapes
Hold up! Before you read on, please read this...
This post was published more than 12 years ago
I keep old posts on the site because I often enjoy reading old content on other people's sites. Not everything that is old is bad. It can be interesting to see how views have changed over time: for example, how my strident teenage views have mellowed and matured.
But given the age of this post, please bear in mind:
- My views might very well have changed in the 12 years since I wrote this post. I have written some very silly things over the years, many of which I find pretty embarrassing today.
- This post might use language in ways which I would now consider highly inappropriate or offensive.
- Factual information might be outdated.
- Links might be broken; embedded material might not appear properly.
Okay. Consider yourself duly warned. Read on...
As has been widely reported, NASA have lost the original tapes of the first steps of man on the moon. Oops. I've lost one or two things before, but I've never really managed to lose one of the sole records of a defining moment in human history. So I feel I've done quite well over the last twenty-one years, and it makes me feel better about the occasional bit of kit I might have lost at school.
Luckily, copies of the footage still exists. The stuff that was shown on TV is clearly still around, but that's grainy. NASA, who were technologically advanced enough to send man to the moon, were not technologically advanced enough to work out how to directly broadcast their lunar footage on TV, and so had to show the footage on a TV monitor, which was then filmed by a TV camera, leaving the image somewhat grainy. And, so it would appear, no-one's bothered working on a solution to the problem over the last 37 years, so we've still not seen the original footage. And now they've gone and lost it. Probably taped over it with the Dick Van Dyke show, or something.
Now, wonderfully, internet conspiracy theorists are claiming with all the conviction they can muster that this doubtlessly proves that the moon landings were faked. Of course it does. The loss of a tape in an archive of tens of thousands clearly outweighs the evidence of the (albeit grainy) film footage, photographs, and samples of the moon that the astronauts brought back.
Anyway, in my experience, if they stop looking for them they'll turn up. And then they can make a fortune by airing the 'lost footage of the moon landings' in some TV special.
In fact, you know where they probably are? Right alongside Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and 150 Home Office PCs. Wherever they might be.

For the second year in a row, Church of the Good Shepherd United Methodist (CGS) conducted a successful Bike Tour event. All proceeds from the May 21 event benefit Family Promise SGV, allowing us to continue to serve homeless children and their families with compassion and hospitality.
Twenty-eight riders participated, including riders from Church of the Good Shepherd, First Baptist Church Alhambra, Friendship Pasadena, and Sierra Madre United Methodist Church. All four of these churches also function as host congregations for Family Promise families.
The Bike Tour event allowed riders of all ages and skill levels to participate. There are several "legs" to the ride, allowing riders to ride from 8 miles to 63 miles depending on their skill and energy level. A delicious lunch was served by CGS for riders and support team members.
It's anticipated that the event will raise between $10,000 and $12,000 to help Family Promise provide for homeless children and their families in the San Gabriel Valley area. So far we've received over $7,000 and donations are still coming in.
It's not too late to support your riders! Please visit the FPSGV giving page, select Church of the Good Shepherd Bike Tour in the dropdown menu, and type in your rider's name under Additional Information.
Thank you to all who made this event possible. You are what makes Family Promise so special!

In and outs of the political campaigns, focusing on Michigan and Lansing, Tim Skubick will report regularly throughout the primary and then general election campaigns.
Tuesday, March 17, 2009
Chalk up the Michigan Sheriff's Association as a strong "no" vote. In fact it wants nothing to do with the governor's proposal to dump 3500 inmates back into the streets by October first at a cost savings for taxpayers.
But MSA director Terry Jungel wonders at what cost to the state's crime rate?
He's convinced 50-60% of those released will strike again.
The Granholm administration respectively disagrees.
In fact the gov's prison director says she would not support the program if she felt the crime rate would skyrocket.
You know what Jungel thinks about Pat Caruso's observation?=0 A
"She works for the governor." End of story.
The back and forth here concerns the possible release of inmates who have already served their minimum time in the slammer. The gov and company contend if they have done the minimum time why not release them?
Here's why not according to Jungel.
"If you behave" and have served the minimum, he has no problem with considering them for a release but "the fact that they are in there past their minimum means they have not behaved. Why let them out?"
The administration says it will screen out the bad guys but Junkel says only the bad guys are in there to begin with. He contends for first time fe lons, the chances of going to the Big House are only one in ten. So to get there, you need two or three felony convictions, Jungel argues.
"We should never second guess judges and juries," he warns but the governor is asking an expanded parole board to review all these cases with what goal in mind Mr. Jungel?
"To get more people out." Which is exactly what the sheriff's don't want.

I am an RIBA Part II Architecture graduate, having recently achieved a Distinction at MArch from the Birmingham School of Architecture. My final thesis project centred around the 'Il Bisonte' School of Printmaking in Florence, Italy, and was a contemporary translation of the typical Renaissance palazzo vernacular found within the city. These themes drew from my dissertation, in which I explored a material and spatial rhetoric in the work of Caruso St John, principally focusing on the New Art Gallery Walsall, as well as Nottingham Contemporary and the V&A Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green. During my MArch, I was also an undergraduate critic and engaged with the course Board of Studies.
I am currently working at Michael Dales Partnership in Bedfordshire, a practice specialising in one-off residential commisions & ecclesiastical restorations and reorderings. As a small practice of just five permanent staff, I have been involved in all stages of the architectural design and procurement process, and I am using this experience as I work towards my RIBA Part III qualifications.
This is my personal website, and contains more details about myself as well as a selection of work completed during both University and through other projects. The work featured ranges from large-scale civic interventions to more intimate community oriented designs.

NBA Playoff Journal (Game 7)
There a few things that can match the excitement of a Game 7 in MLB, the NHL or in the NBA. The Spurs and Heat will treat us to a Game 7 in this year's NBA finals, as tip off is scheduled for just after 9:00 ET tonight from Miami, on ABC. No team has won back-to-back games in this series and going back to Game 1 of its East Finals matchup with the Pacers, Miami hasn't been able to put together consecutive wins in 12 tries! Does this make the Spurs, who are six-point underdogs (total is 188), the favorite? There are more than a few reasons to think that they may be.
While much has been made of the fact that with Tuesday's win in Game 6, the Heat haven't lost consecutive games since January 8 and 10 (Miami has rebounded each time off a loss to go 13-0 SU and 12-1 ATS), some have likely overlooked the fact that the Spurs are a perfect 4-0 SU and ATS off a playoff loss here in the 2013 postseason. In fact, the Spurs have bounced back in impressive fashion following each loss, winning their next game by margins of 10 and 18 (against the Warriors) and by 36 and 10 vs the Heat. Doing the math, the Spurs have followed a postseason loss in 2013 by winning the next game by an average margin of 18.5 PPG. However, this is no "run of the mill" game, tonight. It's Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Check the history books and you'll find that this is just the 18th Game 7 in NBA Finals history. The home team has won 14 of the previous 17 (82.4%), with only the 1969 Celtics (in LA vs the Lakers), the 1974 Celtics (in Milwaukee vs the Bucks) and the 1978 Bullets, now Wizards (in Seattle vs the Sonics, now Thunder). Dig a little deeper and you'll find that although home teams have won 14 of 17, just three wins have come by double digits and three more by margins of seven-to-nine points. That means that EIGHT of the wins by the home teams have come by six or less. Adding those eight to the three outright wins by the visiting teams and that means that at plus-six, road teams were within the pointspread in 11 of the 17 previous Game 7s (64.7%).
Let me also add, that the Spurs are an impressive 7-3 SU and 8-2 ATS on the road this postseason. Meanwhile, the Heat may be 9-3 SU at home this postseason but they are a much less impressive 6-6 ATS. You may have read that going into Game 6, the Spurs were a hard-to-believe 14-2 (.875) SU in "close-out" games on the road since the 2002-03 season, while the rest of the NBA checked in at just 61-75 (.449). We all know the Spurs lost Game 6 to fall to 14-3 but San Antonio bettors sure cashed their tickets on the Spurs in that one.
Game 6's dramatic ending leaves all wondering if the Spurs will be able to bounce back from "letting one get away" The Spurs led by 13 points in the late fourth quarter of that contest and took a 10-point lead into the fourth. San Antonio led 93-89 when Ginobili was fouled with 28.1 seconds left but he was only able to make 1-of-2 free throws. After an LBJ three-pointer (off an offensive rebound), Leonard was only able to convert 1-of-2 FTs with 19 seconds left, leaving the Heat down three, not four. Allen hit the game-tying three with five seconds left (following a Bosh offensive rebound, which could be the biggest of his career) and the Heat then 'escaped' 103-100 in OT.
It's reasonable to think the Spurs will be devastated but Duncan, Ginobili and Parker have played in a combined 156 postseason games, building up a lot of "corporate knowledge," as Gregg Popovich likes to say. Duncan had 30 points (plus 17 rebounds) in Game 5, his highest total in a Finals game since Game 1 of the 2003 Finals, but he was scoreless in the 4th quarter and OT. Consider this. "Pop" surprised all by inserting Ginobili into the starting lineup in Game 5 and the guard trio of Ginobili, Green and Parker made 26-of-43 shots (60.5%), while combining for 74 points. In Game 6, that trio was a woeful 9-of-35 (25.7%) from the floor, combining for only 31 points. However, the Spurs still led 94-89 a with 28.1 seconds to go!
Heading into this game, I feel like John Travolta's character from Welcome Back Kotter, Vinnie Barbarino, who so famously used to opine, "I'm so confused." Going against the home team in a Game 7, is NOT something I relish doing. I've already mentioned that 14 of 17 home teams have won in NBA Finals history but let me add that there have been 111 previous Game 7s in all NBA playoff series and the home team is 90-21 SU, a winning percentage of .811. LBJ is the game's best player and he rose to the challenge in Game 6, after a dreadful 3-of-12 shooting performance through the first three quarters.
James was 8-of-14 (14 points) in the 4th quarter and OT, willing his team to a win. I get the feeling that it's "his time" and want no part of going against the Heat in this spot. Truth be told, I'm rooting for the Spurs, as I'd love to see Duncan and "Pop" get their fifth titles, while Ginobili and Parker would check in with four championships. The refrain says, "know when to hold'em and know when to fold'em." I'm 'folding,' after a MONEY-MAKING 26-14 (65%) run with NBA 10*s going back to April 8, including 7-2 since. May 28).
Enjoy the game and I'll return with a postseason postscript, over the weekend.
Good luck...Larry

Representative Kionne L. McGhee, Fl House of Representatives, District 117-Miami has accepted our invitation to keynote our Gala on Saturday, March 19 at the Chain O' Lakes Complex in Winter Haven, FL.
He is a national motivational speaker , college professor, and author of a memoir: a mer (e) I-CAN is AMERICAN. He is also President and founder of 2NOIT Media & Publishing.
Rep. McKee is also one of the up and coming rising stars in the Florida Democratic Party.
Everyone will be inspired and moved by his personal testimony and how he overcame insurmountable odds to become an elected official, attorney, leader and role model for people of all ages.
Categorically stamped emotionally handicapped and mentally retarded, McGhee's future forecast was cloudy with no silver lining. To the world, the numbers said it all—78 IQ, 1.9 GPA, 580 SAT score, and 0% chance of surviving past the age of 21. After an unfortunate brush with the law, McGhee had to face the threat of serving 20 years of prison with 4 felony charges against him. However, in March 1997, McGhee was absolved of all crimes and would later receive a jolt of awareness from his mother while coming down the courtroom steps. The judge's leniency and his mother's simple reply, "This should be a wakeup call" did what years of struggles and mistakes couldn't. That day was when his world began to shift.
As McGhee says, "Don't let anyone else write your own story. Always make sure that the truth comes out and don't allow other individuals who have different motives and agendas of their own to misrepresent who you are or what you have done."
Audiences will be inspired by his uplifting testimony.

Another Protest
The police surrounded the intersection in front of Sejong Plaza to control traffic.
Riot shields leaning against a bus. I suspect they used civilian buses to bring in more police.
From the museum roof, I had a good view of a potential new anarchaeological site. Also in view, the seats of power of two dead regimes.
The crowd thickened below.
While I was up there, Shin Hae-chul's rock band N.EX.T began playing. I'm unaware who replaced him following his death.
The flags below are all from universities.
It's a good roof, but not great.
And very popular.
Seen from another less popular corner.
Down in the street, which at this time wasn't as full as it looks here.
I found myself behind Sewol protesters.
Protesters were getting ready to march.
There go the universities. I can see the green ginkgo logo of SKKU.
Family photo.
Trying to get closer to the stage, I walked right in front of a giant speaker. At that volume, you really feel it in your lungs more than anything.
Cosplayers, possibly not part of the protest?
The Sewol protesters prepare to march.
I have no idea what happened here. They made Korean politicians into Madballs? The bottom one is Kim Moo-sung.
I thought about stopping by Daelim Gallery for the Nick Knight exhibit, but there was a wait.
One guy dragged a line carrying various implements. I think the pictures are supposed to be a cross between Park Geun-hye and Kim Jong-un.
This guy waved to me whenever he saw me pointing my camera at him, but I caught him with his guard down once.
We got close enough that we could see Cheong Wa Dae straight ahead.
I turned around as more people pressed in behind me. We were stuck in a very narrow lane between bus walls.
I wish this worked out better. I peeked between each bus, and in most cases there was a guy there, always with glasses for some reason. After I took this but before I realised the focus was off, the guy dodged out of view.
So the police are still insisting -- even now that the country is in ruins because an authoritarian allowed a religious figure to abuse state power for profit so her daughter could skip school to make horses dance -- that the "four great societal evils" are sexual violence, domestic violence, school violence, and food spoilage.
I suspect this clown is a regular at protests. She seemed mildly bothered that I took her picture.
You can't tell in this picture, but the horse head is a mask sticking through a cutout of a high school dropout riding a million-dollar Samsung gift.
The bus situation is very tightly controlled. There are a few access points into that neighbourhood.
And in that direction, they make a bus alley.
A closer look at their fortifications. This is what I meant by "medieval village under siege."
These looked like Hahoetal from a distance, but I think they might be some kind of made-up death mask. Related to the Sewol.
And now coming in from behind are the main protest marchers.
There goes the Sewol truck.
One or two bodyparts caught up and was reunited with the others.
I fought against the growing crowds to get out.
Two of the cutouts I saw earlier.
I tried taking pictures of families marching in as I left.
Back in Gwanghwamun, I spotted a cultbuster group making their presence known. We haven't forgotten you, SCJ...
It really isn't a good idea to put easily mockable pictures of cops on the side of a bus at a protest.
And now there are Park Geun-hye Busters. Buster was born here so he technically could join, I think.
A family getting their candles ready.
This titan has been sliced up.

Compare and Contrast...

What a contrast. Though they both get the job done, the second one looks a lot more spacious. I have stayed in places with similar baths, including one in Paris where I had to be in bed in order for my roommate to open the bathroom door to enter or exit. Lots of laughs. Travel is such fun.

Top Programs to Study Abroad in Sydney
Why study in Sydney? Apart from the fact that countless internationally acclaimed study programs are offered at the universities, the city has a lot more to its credit. It's among the top 15 largest economies in the world and offers study abroad aspirants a chance to study in an eclectic environment.
Higher education in Sydney reckons among the best in the world. With the QS listing universities in Sydney among the top ranked universities in the world, the city is emerging as a popular hub for overseas students looking to study abroad. Sydney draws students from all across the globe, bringing in lots of diversity into the classrooms. Apart from that the city promises you lots of sunshine, scores of beaches and plenty of activities to bring in an adrenaline rush.
Top 5 universities in Sydney ranked by QS:
With a variety of programs on offer overseas students have a choice to study almost any major – ranging from pre-medical courses to business studies and accounting etcetera. But, which are the best subjects to study at a Sydney university? Here's a list –
Arts and Humanities
The University of Sydney, established in 1850, is the oldest Australian university. It has over the decades gained global recognition for its courses in humanities and arts and in research projects, centred on a field-based curriculum. Students, especially those, impassioned about the arts stand to gain from the numerous events conducted periodically at the museums and galleries around Sydney.
Students of music will find a way to hone their passion at Conservatorium of Music. The campus situated close to the Opera House comprises of over 50 teaching studios and more than 140 pianos, 2 recital halls and 63 practice chambers.
The university associates with international universities, for example Arcadia University in Pennsylvania, besides several global societies that offer student's programs, their home institution notwithstanding.
Some popular programs include:
Why study biology in Sydney – because it creates the perfect backdrop for students of the subject. National parks, long stretches of coastal beaches and bush wildlife are a live laboratory for biology enthusiasts – providing hands-on experience working in actual habitats. Additionally, the strategically located Taronga Zoo and The Royal Botanical Garden inspire students. The zoo is set within reach of virgin locations, including the Blue Mountain and the Great Barrier Reef. There are several biology programs that students can benefit from, especially at Macquarie and UNSW.
Biology programs to study in Sydney:
Sports and Physical Education
International students can get a head start in their career with a degree in physical education or sports science from an Australian university. The Australian College of Physical Education (ACPE) is a pioneer in the field, having hosted the Summer Olympics in 2000. The institution boasts of several international standard sports amenities and conducts various courses that last between 3-12 months.
Physical education and sports courses that draw international students:
Sports and Physical Education aspirants can explore other cities in Australia for fitness courses.
Leadership Programs
Sydney has a global presence and is home to multi-national companies, distinguished universities and global organizations that embody leadership. The city is like a stage, set to create and provide education in leadership – which it does.
The Global Leadership Program offered by Macquarie University is best suited for students motivated to take on the world. The program is designed to improve and instil leadership skills through an international standpoint. The university's forte lies in subjects pertaining to the sciences, psychology and business and commerce.
Choice of leadership courses for study abroad students to opt for:
Management programs in Sydney universities are geared for students wanting a career in marketing, finance and international business. Additionally, management students stand to benefit immensely from the diversity the city offers. Opportunities of internships in international establishments can further add to the skill sets of management students in Sydney.
The ICMS International College of Management, Sydney boasts of highly skilled teaching staff with experience in the international business arenas. The universities management programs are therefore highly regarded locally as well as globally.
The country as such has relaxed student visa norms that allow international students to work while studying in Australia. The scholarships to study in Australia are plenty, and help to do away (at least partially) the burden of managing finances.
Management programs in demand at ICMS are:

Are you building a mailing list?
If you are a serious blogger, then I'm sure you do.
Email marketing is an excellent way to establish a relationship with your readers, but you must do it the right way (for example, avoid spamming).
Using the right tools is going to influence your results. This is why you must choose carefully the most suitable email services provider for your market.
In this post, we will compare two of the most popular solutions available: GetResponse Vs Campaigner.
Let's see the most important features of these services.
Landing Page Generator
GetResponse offers a simple to understand landing page creator included in all its plans (this is a feature that I have not seen on many other platforms).
Within the control panel, you can choose between more than 100 templates available, with matching "thank you" pages for helping you reach your goals.
Other than that, you can use the drag'n'drop WYSIWYG editor. You don't need any HTML coding knowledge, just move, resize, edit and crop any element of your landing page: text boxes, backgrounds, input fields and buttons.
Plus, there are more than 1000 free photos to personalize it, with a built-in toolkit including filters, effects, etc. (images are available in the Multimedia Studio, within your account).
When you are ready, you can get the code to publish it on your own domain, or you can select to get free hosting on GetResponse subdomains. I really like the option to leverage the power of social media, by publishing it on your Facebook fan page.
The result is a landing page with a mobile-friendly design, which adapts itself to visitors coming from desktop, tablets or smartphones.
When your page is live, you can start the fun by running some A/B testing. Create different versions of your landing page to better understand the one that performs better and converts more (you can integrate it with your Google Analytics account to better monitor and track the results).
Campaigner does not offer this service.
This is a feature that comes handy when you want to automate your email marketing.
An autoresponder is an email that is automatically sent to the user, usually after a certain time interval from the inclusion in your mailing list.
This feature is extremely powerful, because it allows you to keep in touch with users for the a long period… actually doing anything! You just need to set it up once, and then every time a person subscribe to your mailing list, he will receive the same series of messages.
GetResponse offers:
- Unlimited messages per day
- Advanced timing control
- Simple cycle management
- Day-of-the-week selection
- Drag 'n' drop order management
- Quick message edition
The configuration process is guided and very simple.
Also, Campaigner offers the autoresponder service. You can choose to send your series of message on a recurring or triggered basis and send emails on a timed schedule.
Recurring autoresponder is a great feature for birthday or anniversary emails, customer retention messages and renewal notices.
Triggered autoresponder is used to create an email or a series of messages to keep your contacts engaged. For example, creating welcome emails, drip campaigns or lead nurturing emails.
With both GetResponse or Campaigner, you can easily use segmentation and integrate your data with Google Analytics.
Message Builder
I like the drag and drop editor of GetResponse. It's pretty easy to create your newsletter, by creating your own design or by choosing from more than 500 templates available. The editor is easy to understand and really straight forward. This means you can add your personal touch to the template you've chosen, to create a unique design. Select and edit each block of texts or buttons. Also here, there are more than 1000 free images available (that you can actually edit) to use within your newsletter.
With Campaigner, there are more than 800 templates available (one of the industry's largest email templates). There is a drag and drop system here too. You can add links, texts, buttons and images to build your newsletter until it looks right.
Both services grant an email creation history, so to view the history of your newsletter and easily make any modifications.
And with both ESP, the design is mobile-friendly.
Split Testing
This is the funniest part.
When you finish creating your newsletter or autoresponder (or even landing page with GetResponse), you can add different versions of them, so to run A/B testing.
I'm sure you know that the smallest detail can have a heavy impact on how many users are going to check your emails and how many people click through to what you're writing and promoting.
With both GetResponse or Campaigner, the A/B testing is a straightforward process. Just type your variations in both platforms and start your tests. Then checking which modifications work best, you can determine the winning campaign.
This is a feature offered just from GetResponse.
A webinar can be a powerful way to engage with your audience by sharing your knowledge on specific topics. You can also gather new contacts and increase your mailing list with this marketing events. Sharing on social media gives an additional boost to your brand, together with using the chat, polls, screen sharing, whiteboards, and YouTube integration.
You may want to build a follow-up series of emails to build a strong relationship with your users and the analytics option lets you study the reports for future optimization.
Deliverability Rate
GetResponse has different anti-spam policies and ensures a deliverability of 99%. For instance, it checks if the messages sent via their services are genuine and it helps to avoid getting labeled as spam by the recipients.
Campaigner does not declare the percentage of deliverability, but, of course, offers a series of tools to ensure your messages reach your subscribers, without being marked as spam.
Languages Available
GetResponse is translated into many languages (including Spanish, German, Russian and many others), which makes this service available to a wide number of people around the world.
Campaigner is only available in English, which actually reduce the reach, quite a bit.
Other Features
Both platforms offer social integration (to quickly post or schedule your messages via Twitter of Facebook) and social sharing options (to let your readers easily share your emails and content via their favorite social media profiles).
GetResponse offers surveys and polls feature to ask the opinion of your subscribers about different topics. Campaigner does not include this service.
Both platforms offer different plans, according to the size list.
Campaigner cheapest price is $19,95/mo, for up 1,000 contacts and jumps to $29,95/mo for up to 3,500 users.
GetResponse starts at $25/mo for up to 2,500 contacts but gives a lot more feature and functionality (included the landing page builder). The next step is at $49/mo, including also the webinar service.
Campaigner is missing some features that GetResponse offers. They also need to work on their interface and their email editor isn't the best I've seen. On the other side, their customer service is excellent (24/7 assistance) and delivery rates are great.
With GetResponse you'll get what Campaigner offers, plus, landing page editor, webinar service and survey and polls feature. I must say the system is more sophisticated and the design is better.
As a conclusion, I'd suggest to choosing GetResponse. The extra features will save you time and money to go searching somewhere else and their popularity is synonym of safety and professionalism.
It has become one of the favorite tools of some of the most famous and respected marketers in the world – including Neil Patel of QuickSprout.

Notify on inactive feeds
Here's a simple feature that sends an email whenever emoncms feeds become inactive for more than two hours, designed to stop those instances where you login to emoncms after a month and realise that something went wrong and it hasn't been updating for a while.
The notify control page can be accessed via the Extras menu. It can be disabled or enabled and an email address that is different from you main account email can be used if needed.
A cron job runs every 2 hours on the server to check if any feeds have become inactive for more than 2 hours but less than 4 hours. This ensures only one email is sent and historical inactivity is ignored.
Notify is now running on emoncms.org, you may want to check that your email address is correct before turning it on.
To install notify on your raspberrypi or own server see installation details here:

MELBOURNE — Out in the flea market, only the dogged survive.
But career salesman Doug Lynn figures flea-bitten Florida is the best of all possible markets if one has a better fleatrap to sell. And Lynn, who has set about introducing the Flea-Bag System to the Sunshine State, figures he does.

I look around my house and realize how long it had been since I looked at every corner, every wall.
So long since I looked closely at every piece that made it a home.
That big door, that key hole, the medicine shelf, a feng shui drop, those white lamps in the corner I hardly touch, the dining table that seated so many happy times. Those old photos in new frames, each having their own story to tell. A peculiar shell which seemed like a priced possession at ten, goes unnoticed now. The old books were my sister's pillow late in the night, the green shawl that she loved became her second skin. The slippers worn by my father when at home lie in the corner like a wet cat. Scissors, staplers and tape are the things he can't do without. The tongs and mittens accurately aligned in the kitchen that belongs ONLY to my mother. They all have their most favourite part at home. Parts that left a contented smile on their faces. I wondered for the first time what my favourite part at home was. My father always thought it was the bathroom as I spend hours in there. So today, I decided to find that one thing I cherished and loved more than everything.
Ah…Is it my easel that houses unfinished paintings for months together? Is it my study table which was always purely decorative and an undisputed competitor to the untouched white lamps in the corner. My "crazy" posters on the closets, the overflowing bangles that hide the stand they rest on. No. none of these I'm sure. There must be something I've always loved. Maybe I have never been aware of how much I love it.
I ramble from room to room in search of it. I see an old photograph hung on a plain white wall as if enhancing the beauty of the wall. Eureka! How could I not see?! This has always been dear to me. I contemplated that it could be a pencil sketch. Still haven't figured out what it actually is. It captured someone I have always admired. It captured that strong form, a beige coat on proud shoulders and an unshakable gaze that looked into my soul. My peers always said I don't resemble any of my family members. My sadistic sister derived a new thrill in this and often said I was found outside a supermarket near home. Those words made me weep for hours as a child, albeit said in only good humour. How could I not resemble anybody? A third cousin, maybe fourth or even a distant old aunt? Not even a little resemblance. Gregor Mendel must be turning in his grave. A friend then told me that I looked like the man in the photograph. My face round like his and nostrils flared JUST LIKE HIS! That was the best compliment I have received. That day it struck me, I look like my oldest gene.
There was something very captivating about him. I could look at his photo in awe for hours. He is the only person I've admired so much without having met.
I never questioned about him at home. About how he walked, talked or wrote. It hurt too much to do so. I quietly listened to my father when he told me about his fondest days with him. Of how dignified, patient and magnetic he was. His presence sending chills down the spine and voice marking a territory around. The few times my father mentioned him were precious and I eagerly waited for them but the conversation always ended in tears. In my father's eyes I could see the great loss he felt for not having him around.
It hurts to know he never knew of my existence. I often wondered, could I ever grow up to be like him? Could I ever have a persona like that? If he was alive, would he be proud of me? Would he be happy knowing how much I've admired him? What would it be like to just sit beside him? Sigh!
This photograph is all I've had since I understood who he was to me. It will always be my favourite part of home. Sorrow clouds me for I was unfortunate to have never experienced the relation we would share. I'm happy being a tiny piece of someone like him.
But there will always be a part of me that says,
"Grandpa, I wish we had met".

- Mourt's Relation
Mourt's Relation
The full name of this work is A Relation or Journal of the Proceedings of the Plantation Settled at Plymouth in New England. William Bradford and Edward Winslow are credited with writing the book. Mourt's Relation was written between November 1620 and November 1621, and was originally published in London in 1622 by George Morton. For this reason the title of the book is Mourt's Relation. Bradford and Winslow describe the landing of the Pilgrims at Cape Cod, the exploring of and the settling in New Plymouth, and the establishing of peace with the native Indians. Winslow includes a narrative about the first Thanksgiving feast in New England and the arrival of the ship Fortunefrom England. From reading this account of the early colony, you will get the sense that the early colonists were very courageous and possessed a high degree of honor and character.

I have a question about the recipe "Mr. T.'s Pecan Pie" from AntoniaJames. Making it Chocolate
Barbara is a trusted source on General Cooking.
AJ, I don't know why, but I couldn't add to the question. I'd like to turn this into a chocolate pecan pie. I was thinking of either using 2 ounces of bittersweet chocolate in place of the butter or of adding about 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder in place of the nutmeg and orange zest. I don't want it to be too sweet. What do you think?
Sounds Amazing! Nice rich flavor

Well... this is my first post and it is Freshman Fall Quarter. I am a new member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority on 17th Ave. This first quarter I am taking Chem 142, Math 124 Honors, Spanish 202, and Honors 100 - along with an internship in the Athletic tutoring center recently. You could say that I have quite a busy quarter.
It hasn't been too difficult to navigate Seattle so far since I've lived in the area my whole life. I'm loving the Ave and all the food options there...and the fact that Jimmy John's delivers. My new favorite food is Pad Kee Mao, available at any of the numerous Thai places. Anyways, the food is great and the people are too. The scenery is a little bit different than what I'm used to. I went to Eastside Catholic HS on the Sammamish Plateau and was quite sheltered from the true inner city. Living directly in Seattle is very eye-opening for me. I'm liking this change of pace.
As far as academics go, I think that all of my classes are pretty manageable right now. Everyone is trying to scare me about Chem, but I had an amazing chemistry teacher my Junior year of HS, so it hasn't been too challenging once I remember the skills she taught me. However, ALEKS is quite time consuming. It's a personalized online tutor that gives you three questions for every one that you answer incorrectly. Yesterday, I looked at the total amount of hours report (amount of time that I have spent on ALEKS to date). It's week two and I have already spent almost thirteen hours working on chemistry online. In fact, all of my classes have online homework. I kind of like that because it is very easy to keep track of assignments. And it saves paper! It's a win-win.
That's all for now. There will be many more reflections to come.

The end of writers' block is an interesting process. It's starts usually as an errant idea or two that begin to come together in the dark recesses of my mind. An idea, which given time and attention, will hopefully grow into a concept, and hopefully then take larger form. Were I a more introspective and eloquent person, I would call the process organic. I would be wrong, as I apply a lot more structure to my process, but I at least would like to think that I allow my ideas to escape the boundaries of structure sometimes.
My process is probably not unlike most creative people's. Once I have a general grasp on what I want to accomplish, I begin by outlining the concept; just building the skeleton upon which the rest of the concept will form. The majority of my projects die at this phase. Often I can tell at this point whether or not the concept is going to go anywhere and if I should bother continuing. After that, I take a crack at the actual creation process.
This process can vary depending on the art that I am creating:
1. Were I writing something, I would at this point take the time to write a scene or a summary of a story, perhaps write some character study; really depending on the focus of the piece.
2. Were I composing music, I would have already have devised some chord structure or bass line (I tend to write on guitar as opposed to piano) and would be moving on to melody at this point.
3. In directing, this would be point within the rehearsal process that I would begin working with the actors on character. I would have already made my choices for the scene or the piece, and would now begin the collaboration process with the actor or flesh out the performance.
4. I would approach acting in a similar fashion. I would have, by now, had a decent grasp on the character I was playing by reading the script, perhaps waiting to go through blocking with the director (depending on his/her style), and beginning to think about the character's choices.
It is actually a very exciting time in the creative process, and one that I am glad to actually take a moment and record it here in the ether...
The problem in this case is that these errant ideas have coalesced into a few concepts, and I need time to organize them...

After 3 years of trying to get our garden fixed and change it from a giant muddy puddle where grass dies every Winter, to one that the kids can run and stomp on (that was a long battle we wouldn't want to fight in again. Ever.), we can finally work on turning this healthy grass field into a living space:
Apart from putting up a shed and patio, we have been working on several ideas for the rest of the garden (we love grass, but not that much!). One thing that came to mind is an outdoor play area for the kids.
We could take the kids to a park or an outdoor playground, but there are times where we just can't go away. Letting them go on their own is definitely not an option either. With a play area in our own garden however, the kids can go out and play even when we can't take them out. We'll also know that they will be safe, so we won't need to keep an eagle eye on them at all times.
Honestly speaking, I'm more an indoor person, and wouldn't really mind the kids to be the same, purely for my own selfish reasons. I do however think that they look much happier, energised and healthier (less grumpy and whiny too) after a run in a playground, and there is the benefit of absorbing the essential vitamin D as well.
With a playground in our own garden, I can still be that indoor person, while they enjoy the fresh air and fun outside. I'll also have the benefit of sending them out while I need to focus on some me time WORK. I mean work.
The next question was what to get to create said outdoor play area that has plenty of fun elements for the kids to play in, but won't send us living on the street, like this one:
|LEGOland Windsor Castaway Camp
I think playground markings, perhaps a more complicated version of Hop Scotch is a must, and it'll be the cheapest too. The kids love monkey bars, but anything more complicated and I'll be wondering if I need to keep an eye on them. I'd also love to include a play house and perhaps a slide too to make it more fun.
Instead of letting them get all muddy on the grass, or hurt themselves on a stone surface, we might consider some proper playground surfaces as well. My favourite would be artificial grass, but will that look a bit weird in the middle of a real turf?
With the basic idea in mind, I'm sure we'll get a fun playground for the kids soon. Maybe I should let them loose and paint the equipment themselves too.
Or maybe not.
Hopefully our project won't take too long, so that we can finally enjoy the garden fully next Summer (I vaguely remember saying the same thing every year)!

The wind is also picking up to 17 mph. We won't get blizzard conditions here in Bowdoin.
Check out the shape of this storm...a true Nor'easter as it wraps around and pulls moisture off the ocean.. This is the predicted model for noontime today as it slowly moves out to sea.
Here is our wood shed and garage. The snow has blown mostly to the south part of the roof due to the wind. I haven't looked in the wood shed in awhile, but Drew says he just has one more stacked row of wood, along the back wall of the shed, to burn this winter. Of course we have more wood split and ready to use out back. We'll stay plenty warm for the rest of the season.

Summary of IMH Course
This 15 part training program aims to raise awareness and understanding of the needs of infants and toddlers in order to promote healthy social emotional development in the early years and reduce the likelihood of poor mental and physical health outcomes in the later years.
The early years have a unique and formative impact on development, relationships, and functioning throughout life. The literature on early childhood development overwhelmingly confirms that poor parenting, abuse and neglect in the first three years of life have profound and devastating effects on brain development and emotional functioning. These infants soon become the children in our school system who may already lag behind their peers, and are also more vulnerable to a host of health and emotional problems throughout their lifespan including depression and addictions. Research shows that many adverse outcomes can be prevented when parents are provided with support and information that enables them to be optimally responsive to their infants and young children. When there are identified risks and disorders in young children or in family functioning, well planned and evidence-informed intervention can promote optimal outcomes. The science is clear – early experiences in the first three years impact the architecture of the brain – this impact can be life-long and profoundly positive or negative depending on the quality and consistency of the experiences.
This training program aims to increase knowledge about infant mental health among all staff within community-based agencies in order to affect a culture shift, to empower individuals to be agents of change in their roles and to ensure that every child served by their organization has access to the best mental health outcomes possible.The inclusion of infant mental health promotion, prevention, and treatment as a key focus of practice within community based health and/or social service organizations will lead to enhanced:
- Understanding of just how critical early mental health is for a child, a community, and society at large;
- Understanding of risk and protective factors that contribute to early mental health and development;
- Promotion of infant mental health practices within a community agency that can be shared with families and other community agencies;
- Integration of practices that focus on the prevention of infant mental health trauma;
- Embedding of screening practices to identify when a child may be experiencing poor mental health in the first three years of life; and
- Integration of interventions that can be provided to a child who is experiencing poor mental health or at risk of experiencing poor mental health within the community.

MOSCOW -- The leaders of last October's bloody uprising walked free from Lefortovo Prison yesterday, smiling to the cheers of their supporters and ushering in a new phase of heightened political anxiety.
Alexander Rutskoi, who once proclaimed himself president of Russia while announcing the resurrection of the Soviet Union, and Ruslan Khasbulatov, a former professor who urged soldiers to attack the Kremlin to depose Boris N. Yeltsin, stepped out into the late afternoon sunshine and immediately seized the attention of the nation.
They were joined by five other leaders of the parliamentary rebellion, which was eventually put down by tank fire and a military assault on the Russian White House, with an official death toll of 142.

A very nice and comfortable hotel, well designed (recently renovated),at an excellent location. Everything in Dublin Center is within walking distance. I went for the continental breakfast, which was great. Friendly and helpful staff. Quiet. This is a happy customer. One small suggestion for improvement. The walls appear to be rather thin, when my neighbor turned on the t.v. right after I arrived I could hear it, even though it was not turned on at a loud volume. The very nice lady at the desk went out of her way to find an alternative room but I decided to stay in the same room and I did not have any problem for the next two days. If they manage to isolate/soundproof the walls this would be the perfect hotel. I'm still giving it all the stars I can.

Vile hotel. Had a coffee in it recently. Toilets are deplorable, like something out of a horror movie. Avoid this place in my opinion. 21/11/2017 In response to your generic retort. I gave the hotel a second chance now that it is 'beautiful' - not sure if that implies it wasnt before your upgrade, given that you were charging similar prices. I Digress. I was with a group that asked for hot port. They were served hot brandy. I was then informed that the manager told him to give it to us - maybe you might update your reasoning, or even better train your bar staff on the difference between port and brandy.

Recently refurbished and they have done a fantastic job of it. The rooms were immaculately appointed and the finish ran right through the lobby into the bar / restaurant. There is still some work to be done on the service, visited the bar without being served or spoken to (although they were closing up).

Hotel was very pretty but the air conditioner was not existent. Called front desk 6 times over a 2 day period, they said it was working fine. Thank god we only had 2 nights here, would have been looking for another hotel if we had more days booked. Had to wait 4 hours for a second roll of toilet paper and that was after a second call to front desk. No Kleenex in the box. Said they didn't have any more. Safe would not open with code. Started a 30 minute count down and would not open. Had to call front desk took 15 minutes for some one to get here still couldn't get in safe. Internet is so slow you can barely check an email. 10 euros if you want it to work faster. Hotel was under going renovation and had no room service or restaurant. To many nice looking hotels in Dublin stay somewhere else.

Comfortable, convenient and stylish. Would happily come again! Of particular note the food was outstanding. I had dinner one night (superfood salad, sea bass with potato cake) and veggie breakfast two days. Great effort.

The Institute for Voice and Swallowing Disorders at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center is committed to providing comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic care to children and adults who experience voice and swallowing conditions.
Dr. Craig H. Zalvan, a Board Certified Laryngologist, is the institute's Medical Director. The interdisciplinary team is comprised of highly trained, nationally recognized and specialized professionals. Sessions are provided in a safe and pleasant environment, using state-of-the-art technology.
A swallowing problem, or dysphagia, is the unsafe and inefficient movement of foods and/or liquids from the mouth to the stomach.
Swallowing becomes unsafe when the food or liquid goes below the level of the vocal folds and enters the airway (trachea) to the lungs, rather than entering the esophagus. This is known as aspiration.
Lips, teeth, tongue, cheeks, soft palate, pharynx, epiglottis, larynx, esophagus
All of these movements must occur in order to promote swallowing safety by preventing aspiration.
In the normal population, each of the first three phases takes approximately 1 second to complete and the last (esophageal) phase takes approximately 8-20 seconds to complete. However, we swallow differently for different consistencies, amounts and viscosities (thickness/density of the material). In the normal elderly population, you can expect the swallowing process to be slightly delayed and altered.
There are many medical conditions that may predispose a person to swallowing problems. Medical conditions can be broken down into 2 broad categories: neurological and structural.
Neurological conditions include:
Neurological conditions affect swallowing because of decreases in motor (movement) function, sensory (sensation) function or both.
Motor function relates to the function of the person's muscles.
Sensory function refers to the person's ability to feel the food as it moves through his or her mouth and throat.
Structural disorders interfere with the swallow because of a mechanical dysfunction in the swallowing mechanism. These may include:
Radiation and chemotherapy for head and neck cancers also have a detrimental effect on swallow function.
When dysphagia is suspected, the speech-language pathologist will evaluate a person to determine the severity of the dysphagia and to identify what aspects of the swallowing mechanism are affected.
How can you recognize a swallowing problem? The following are signs/symptoms of a swallowing disorder:
It is an infection and inflammation of the lung following an aspiration event or chronic aspiration. It results from an infectious accumulation in the lungs.
Swallowing evaluation is appropriate for anyone who has a complaint of difficulty swallowing; pain when swallowing food, liquid or medication; choking during meals; a history of one or more of the above related disorders; and/or a sudden change in swallow function following an acute event such as, a change in medication, trauma or surgery.
Instrumental/Objective Evaluations:
Sometimes a person can silently aspirate, which happens when food or liquid enters the lungs but the person is not aware. In those cases, the person may be referred for a Modified Barium Swallow (MBS) study or a Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing and Sensory Testing (FEES/ST).
Modified Barium Swallow Study
The MBS can provide detailed information about the safety of a person's swallow. The MBS is conducted in a radiology suite in the presence of a radiologist. The person is tested with various food and liquid consistencies to determine choices for oral intake. For this test, the food is mixed with a contrast material, called barium, which makes it visible on the x-ray. The person is x-rayed as he or she eats each food consistency. Unlike a static x-ray, which reflects one single instant in time (like a chest x-ray), and is viewed as a photograph, the MBS is a moving x-ray that records the swallow from the oral-preparatory phase to the esophageal phase. The recording of the test can be reviewed at a later date for comparative purposes or to determine progress from receiving a form of swallowing therapy.
The Modified Barium Swallow serves several important functions in the diagnosis and management of swallowing disorders.
Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing & Sensory Testing (FEESST)
FEESST is an alternative test to the X-ray test of swallowing that uses a specifically designed endoscope in order to assess both the SENSORY and MOTOR components of the swallow.
FEESST is a two-part test. The first part of the test assesses sensation in the larynx in order to elicit an airway protective reflex (the Laryngeal Adductor Reflex). The second part of the test involves giving food to the person (with green food coloring mixed in) and tracking where the food travels in the throat region.
Velopharyngeal closure, anatomy of the base of the tongue and hypopharynx, abduction and adduction of the vocal folds, pharyngeal musculature and the person's ability to manage his/her own secretions are assessed.
Benefits of FEESST:
The information obtained from clinical assessments and MBS and FEESST studies are used to make recommendations regarding food consistencies, the way food is eaten or the way a person is fed.
Type of food: A diet will be prescribed to meet the person's needs for safe swallowing. Consistencies of liquids can range from thin to thickened. Solids can be regular, chopped, ground or pureed.
The way food is eaten: The speech pathologist may recommend that the person use therapeutic postures and/or maneuvers to increase swallow safety.
In order for the person to benefit from these interventions, he or she must be able to understand the reason for the intervention, follow 2-3 step directions, remember them throughout the meal or be thoroughly supervised.
Compensatory Strategies may include: postures, positions, maneuvers and changes in feeding style.
Most Common Postures/Positions:
Most Common Maneuvers:
How a person is fed:
Sometimes a person's cognitive status prevents him or her from using therapeutic postures and/or maneuvers. These persons may require being hand-fed.
Swallowing therapy is performed by the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) up to five times per week. It may include any of the techniques described above to improve the safety of the person's swallow. These techniques may also be performed in conjunction with the therapies listed below.
