Konami's Achy Breaky Heart
Posted by jgaudiosi :: Music & Video Games
Konami Digital Entertainment has partnered with country music network CMT for its latest "Karaoke Revolution" videogame, which ships for PlayStation 2 in March. In a sign that gaming is definitely becoming more mainstream, the popular videogame franchise will feature 35 greatest hits from country music. Some of the songs included are "The Gambler," "Stand By Your Man," "All My Exes Live in Texas," "I Like It I Love It," "Redneck Woman," "Good Ol' Boys," and "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)."
CMT is the latest TV network to get involved in videogames. MTV has had a number of licensed videogames on the market over the years, but that network caters to a younger demographic that overlaps nicely with gamers. While country music has become more mainstream, it still skews older than MTV. CMT will be promoted both on the box art and in the gameplay. Konami is expected to promote the new game on the network, as well.
"Karaoke Revolution" has managed to attract a wide arrange of fans over the years. It's one of just a handful of Japanese titles, like Konami's "Dance Dance Revolution" franchise, that has garnered a large following on these shores. Karaoke, dance games and a variety of musical instrument games have been staples in Japan for years. When you walk into a Tokyo arcade or electronics store, there are a variety of games that are huge over there that don't translate well in the U.S.
The blending of American country music with a Japanese karaoke game shows how far gaming has come. PlayStation 2s are everywhere these days, including in the homes of middle America and the south, where country music tends to be most popular.
CMT is America's most popular country music network reaching more than 78 million households. Established more than 20 years ago, CMT reaches 84% of US households via basic cable, digital and satellite platforms. As part of the partnership, CMT will feature "Karaoke Revolution Country" through integrated television and online programming and promotions.
The new game, which is the first in the series to focus on a specific music genre, allows up to eight people to participate in a variety of party-style games. Two players at a time can perform duets, as they sing into the microphone and their voices are matched to in-game intonation measurements. In addition to selecting one of the in-game avatars, players can use the EyeToy to put themselves on the virtual stage.

I'm glad to say that fall is once again upon us! I've already kicked out some pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, and pumpkin bread. I kind of like pumpkin… A WHOLE LOT. Also, the mister and I have been in our new Dallas apartment for 3 months as of today! Today also marks the end of my hunt for holiday inventory, and I'm a little bummed. Luckily for me, the holiday season is still entirely ahead of us. I've got lots of Christmas goodies this year that I am very proud of! I know you will all love them too. I've also got a lot of Christmas projects to work on this fall, so I'll give a sneak peek into those in the future as well.
For now, I leave you with this tried-and-tasty vegan pumpkin pie recipe we tested the other night! Bonus: It's also pretty healthy and you don't need to be vegan to love it!
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Recipe
1 16 oz can pumpkin puree (my can was only about 15 oz)
3/4 cup sugar (I used almost twice as much… don't judge me)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon clove (I didn't have any so I substituted nutmeg and allspice)
1 12 oz package soft tofu, processed in blender until smooth
1 9 inch pie shell (I made mine from scratch with some wheat flour, you don't have to though)
1. Cream pumpkin and sugar.
2. Add salt, spices, and tofu.
3. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, then at 350 for 40 minutes.
4. Chill and serve.

I realized recently that I probably smell like an old maid. There are several likely reasons for this. In the morning, I take two showers: one with water and a mild boring soap (nothing too overwhelming before 7:00, I always say), and a second one with Gold Bond Medicated Powder. This is intended to keep me fresh throughout the day, or until it hits 90 degrees. The latter usually beats the former by a long ways, but at least when I start to sweat in earnest, I tingle a little. I also give off, I imagine, little puffs of Palmolive and menthol.
I smell like an old maid in the evenings because that's when I take my second first shower, and that's when I break out the really exciting substances: lavender or sometimes (on special occasions) Summer Hill shower gel, for instance. I use these because they came in sweet little boxes in the mail from my mother, and they smell pretty and are said to be calming, and besides, they were free. Then it's time for the second second shower, this one with lily-of-the-valley powder that came with its own puff, from my godmother.
I scrub and rinse and dust myself with these things because they make me feel like a lady for a few minutes, albeit a little old one. And because in between showers, I suspect, I mostly just smell.

The UW literally set the stage for Kyle MacLachlan's first professional acting job. During his 30-year career, MacLachlan, '82, became famous for playing colorful movie and television characters such as Twin Peaks' coffee and cherry pie-obsessed FBI agent and the homicidal husband on Desperate Housewives. The role that started it all, however, only required a walk down the hall.
"I was an extra in a movie shot on campus called The Changeling (1980) starring George C. Scott. I was paid $10 to walk up some stairs," says MacLachlan. "It was my first movie experience and I had no clue what was going on, but I remember thinking it was kind of cool."
Purple and gold are in his DNA. His parents are Husky alumni who met and fell in love as students. MacLachlan participated in local theater growing up in Yakima, Washington, but truly caught the acting bug as a student of the UW's Professional Actor Training Program. It was a rigorous, three-year experience–rehearsals for three hours in the morning and most weekends.
"We shared a building with the campus police department. At one end of the corridor we were causing anarchy, a lot of yelling and screaming, and they were at the other end trying to keep everything under control and running smoothly. They were kind, but probably thought we were crazy," chuckles MacLachlan.
For a time, MacLachlan lived in an apartment near the College Inn Pub where he frugally enjoyed French fries for dinner. The location allowed him to expand his studies outside of the classroom. He rode his bicycle to local movie theaters such as the Neptune and Guild 45th. The Three Musketeers was a favorite since students were taught the stagecraft of sword fighting. He credits the years of diverse schooling for providing a solid foundation in later years.
"My first leading role was in a play called The Corn is Green about coal miners in Wyoming," says MacLachlan. "It sort of gave me the experience of what it's like to really carry a show."
From being an extra to a leading man, MacLachlan is a memorable presence onscreen. Regardless of a young person's field of study, he cites the college experience as a valuable journey for a young person to form themselves both personally and professionally.
"I think college helps fill the gap of life experience at that age. It's the real world, but maybe a slightly softer version," he says. "I was fortunate to follow my passion in a place where I could really flourish."

The Samba-Bugzilla – Bug 6958
byte range lock requests greater than 64-bit do not return the proper error code
Last modified: 2009-12-02 19:11:38 UTC
In versions of Windows < Win7 a request for a byte range lock who's offset plus
length was greater than 64-bits would return NT_STATUS_OK. Win7 introduced the
new error code STATUS_INVALID_LOCK_RANGE.
smbd should check for range violations and now return this error.
The RAW-LOCK-LOCKX, SMB2-LOCK-LOCK, and SMB2-LOCK-VALID-REQUEST tests
in smbtorture4 exercise this behavior.

It's New Years Eve.
So, basically, I'm required to tell you some deep insightful thoughts that I have gathered throughout the past year.
I'm going to try something a little different.
On the first day of 2014, I wrote this.
It's really weird coming back to something you wrote 365 days ago.
You smile at some things, and you cringe at others' and either way you're thinking to yourself: I wrote that?
It's especially weird, and mostly a lot of scary, because you realize how much you've changed. You realize how much things have changed.
2013 was horrible. Well, wait. I shouldn't be so blunt about that. It wasn't that horrible. I did a lot of cool things, and I had a lot of new experiences. But when I think back, I just remember it being a very strange period in my life. What I should really say is that there was just a lot of change.
You should know the following.
In my family, New Years Eve has always been our holiday. It's huge in the Brabham house. Family comes in from out of town and across the state; we dance and eat and party and laugh and bang pots and pans outside at midnight.
So you can bet that last year when I told my mother for the first time at 19-years-old that I wanted to go out for New Years Eve, she looked at me with half-crazy/half-saddened eyes, and was like, "I'm sorry, what?"
Pause. You should also know this.
I'm superstitious. Sort of. One time in seventh grade, I accentually broke a mirror and almost cried because I just knew I'd have bad luck for seven years. I avoid cracks, because obviously I care for my mother's back very dearly. I get freaked out when people split the pole, and my heart drops when a black cat comes around. I still lift my feet when I go over train tracks, and wait until I'm outside to open my umbrella, and hold my breath when I pass a graveyard. Well, only sometimes. But it's enough to make me feel weird if I don't.
Even though a bad News Year Eve night isn't on the traditional list of horrible omens, I was convinced that it was on January 31st, 2013.
Now that night was terrible. And there's no doubt about that one. When I came home at 1am all upset, I found out that I wasn't the only one. My aunt and younger brother decided they would go out for New Years Eve that year too, and they came home with stories of friends with broken wrists, and getting chased by cops from a high school party. We were all eerily convinced that maybe because we weren't with our family like were supposed to be, we had horrible New Years Eves. And I was convinced that because I had a horrible New Years Eve, it was a prediction of how 2014 would go.
When it rains, it pours, right?
But I'm being honest here—I was nervous.
It turns out, 2014 wasn't half bad. Hard, but not half bad.
Today, when I went back to read what I wrote that night, I laughed a lot, because I remember all of the things that happened that made me write the things that I wrote.
I considered re-editing the post before linking it back to this post, like, at least sixteeen times. (The overwhelming selfishness? Some of the word choices—who was I?) But then I realized that that would change everything. It would change who I was, where I was at that point in my life, and my progress as a person. It would erase the evidence of how different I am now. How much I've learned. I would be editing my old self. And that's just a big fat lie.
It's funny; my best friend called me a few hours ago, freaking out because she has to work tonight. She'll be off in enough time to get home and go out, but it's an hour drive, and that doesn't include the time it takes to get ready. It's prone to be a disaster. She was upset, and rightfully so. But I laughed, because I happen to be a little bit of an expert on this.
You already know what I told her, don't you?
"It's just one night, I promise." I told her. "There are many more to come."
Just because something is bad right now, it doesn't mean you're doomed forever. It actually means quite the opposite.
And on another completely related note, if you are cringing at who you used to be—or who you are—no need to fret. You aren't doomed to that either. You change. Things change.
The lesson? Be proud of your growth. Be thankful for where you were, and look forward to where you are going.
I mean, look at J-Lo. She's still, she's still Jenny from the block.
In her classic song from the 00's, she [sings? raps? what is she doing?] about how she will never forget the person she was and where she came from, and she carries that with her. But look at where she is now. Even more fabulous, still shaking that ass, and tremendously successful at a number of other things. Just like me from my first blog post of 2014 to now, but less fabulous and not famous.
The other take-away? Things are always moving, always changing, whether you like it or not.
And that just gives me hope for this world as well. We are not doomed to what's happening right now. Times are ah-changing. And that makes me very excited.
Life is a work in progress.
This year has been fantastic. You know how you can feel something building? Like you are on your way to something greater, and you can just feel it in your soul and in your bones? That was 2014 for me. A glimmer of light. I guess that's kind of been my theme this year.
I couldn't even tell you one or two over-arching lessons I learned, because I learned so much every day. 2014 was a year of growth. Confusion and assurance and reassurance and wrongs and rights. But it was my step in the right direction. This elevator? Going up.
Thank you so much for hanging with me since August. I can truly say this blog has changed my life.
I appreciate you guys, and I love you so so much.
I'm hoping this New Years Eve will be a little better. I mean, if it's bad… 2015 has to be good, right? And if it's good… will I have a horrible 2015? Well. I guess we'll find out.
Cheers to you all. Be safe tonight, and talk to you tomorrow, in 2015.
Here's to another year of lessons.
Day 162.

Cracking the Code: LTL Chapter 1
Habits and systems, when built and implemented in the right way, are powerful tools for productivity. Ultimately, it's a way to automate a human process which will conserve your cognitive load and reserve that mind juice for more important, high value decisions.
This model can and should be applied to shipping LTL. Seemingly simple, but with many factors at play due to freight classification, packaging options, carrier selection, and more — effective navigation of this trucking mode is vital to saving costs and ensuring your company get's its products where they need to go.
An effective way to do this is to step out of the weeds and develop a systemic approach to solving problems and finding answers. Not every situation is automated and repeatable — especially in LTL. This is why humans are still required and robots or computers are not yet manning outbound warehouses. There is not a standard sequence or algorithm to program into a machine. Lot's of gray area.
By building your process a few floors up from the micro level view — this will make it easier to automate scenarios that you haven't done before and need to solve on the fly.
For example: rather than memorize and habitually input the same NMFC classification code, automate a system where you can effectively research and navigate this complicated information and find the correct result. There has never before been a search function tool that so badly needs Google's help (online users you know what I'm talking about).
QF has long thought that there needs to be an app or program built that uses reverse engineering and a process of elimination to decipher the correct NMFC code. It could be similar to the Akinator entertainment app () – but rather than guessing characters it would ask questions that can either identify or eliminate the correct group, article and classification for what you are shipping.
If this already exists or someone decides to take a stab at it — let QF know and we'll help share the word!
Yes…shipping LTL is complex and many people do not pull it off in the most cost effective way. Some of that wasted time and money can be prevented by putting in place the right systems, habits, and process to mentally automate and streamline the operation. Identifying and reducing waste and redundancies can also bring to light company byproducts or what we like to call them…additional revenue possibilities (ARP's).

THURMAN - For weeks, The Thurman supervisor's seat has stood empty at the Warren County Municipal Center, and Thurman's townspeople have wondered who might be willing to step forward and be the chief officer of their town.
However, two local residents offered this week to lead the town, after the recent departure of former Town Supervisor John Haskell and the unwillingness of acting Supervisor Leon Galusha to permanently assume his post.
Local contractor Lawrence "Red" Pitkin as well as community activist and former Athol Postmaster Joan Harris both announced this week their interest in leading the town.
The town board, which has the power to appoint a Supervisor until next November, is presenting the candidates to the public in a town meeting at 6 p.m. Friday Dec. 5. Board members have pledged to listen to local citizens' input in choosing the town government's new leader.
As of Monday, Thurman Town Clerk Cynthia Hyde had received letters of interest exclusively from Pitkin and Harris, although hearsay is circulating that others are also interested in the post.
Pitkin said a healing process needs to occur after the contentious divisions occurring in the wake of Haskell's conviction for defrauding the government, an investigation and trial that included testimony from board members, with some exonerating and others implicating him.
"We have to work to end this battle between life-long residents and newcomers," Pitkin said Wednesday. "We are a town divided- and I have a history of being able to listen to people and bridging gaps between different groups."
Harris also said that the town needs to turn away from divisiveness and needs to work together toward common goals.
"Strife, dissent and animosity don't reflect the true personality of the townspeople of Thurman," she said Monday.
With years of experience in accounting and office management, Harris has pledged to straighten out the finances of town government to the benefit of taxpayers.
"I intend to establish accountability in town government," she said.
Pitkin is the owner of Warm & Welcome Log Homes and served as the Thurman representative to the Warrensburg Central School Board for five years, including a one-year stint as board vice-president. Also, Pitkin has also served on the Thurman Assessment Review Board.
Harris worked for the U.S. Postal service for 20 years, and served as Athol Postmaster for about 15 of those years.
Harris attented Dekalb College in Atlanta Ga., followed by studies at Adirndack Community College with a major in accounting.
Also, for years she performed accounting and office management duties for a variety of car dealerships in the area.
Pitkin said that if he were chosen, he wouldn't impose an agenda on the public, but he'd listen to the public. "If I was selected by the board I would not view the first year as a mandate from the residents," Pitkin said. "You do not have a mandate until you have been elected by the people - the first year would be spent trying to heal a factionalized community."
A graduate of California State University at Stanislaus with a Bachelors degree in business, Pitkin served in the U.S. Air Force for seven years. He moved to Thurman after marrying his wife Debbie, a Thurman native, some 25 years ago.
"The supervisor should work with the board, not be set against them," Pitkin said. "If this town is to begin the healing process we need to first start listening to each other-there are a lot of smart people out there."
Harris has worked for the town in a variety of capacities, including launching a successful youth program that created a good number of jobs in town, and she's lead various volunteer organizations and organized a variety of events, including Old Home Days. Presently, she serves as President of the John Thurman Historical Society, which organizes the annual Fiddler's Jamboree.
Pitkin describes himself as a fiscal conservative who rarely gets angry, is committed to open government and is willing to compromise in order to move forward. The purpose of a governmental body is to serve the constituency, not to seek one's personal gain, he said.
"The job of anyone in a managerial or supervisor role is to create situations where good people do good work," he said.
Harris served on the town Youth Commission for 20 years, and was the chair of the town's Bicentennial Committee.
In her work, she's written a number of grants, successfully bringing in state funds for job development, she said.
"People know that when I say I'm going to do something and I'm in charge, it's going to turn out a success," she said.
Recently, she's been volunteering her time by delivering food to the homebound through Meals on Wheels. From 1960 through 1970, she worked for the Warrensburg Central School District.
She said her background has given her direct experience in labor negotiations, running meetings, and supervising others.
"I am known to be honest, fair and capable of motivating others," she said in her letter to the town board.
Adirondack Journal editor Thom Randall contributed to this report.

There are distinct types of people who engage with database management system and End Users are well known. However, when referring End Users, does it represent all people work with DBMS or just business users?
Theoretically, there are four types of people involve with databases and database management systems; Database Administrators, Database Designers, Application Developers and End Users. This means, we are not part of End Users group and they work with databases differently.
image taken from: http://e-expo.ee/
There are mainly two types of End Users;
- Naïve users
These users have no clue on database management systems and do not know how to access database or how to make requests from database directly. Naïve users typically access the database through given GUIs that has readable menu items for opening windows forms or web pages to interact with data. Relevant example for this is, bank executive opens the interface given for entering customer information.
- Sophisticated users
This group represents people who know about the structure defined in the database for some extent. They have skills for accessing the database directly (or through another interface that requires database and SQL knowledge to use) and they make direct requests to the database for getting required data down. Most smart business users and data stewards are fallen into this group. When considering modern database implementations, sophisticated users do not access the core database unless there are specific objects (like Views) created specifically for them, but they access via configured databases such as reporting databases, relational and OLAP data warehouses or data models such as Microsoft Multi-dimensional models, tabular models and models designed with Excel+Power Pivot.

The Environmental Impact Of China's Activities In Africa: The Case Of Kenya
Argut, Limo K.
MetadataShow full item record
This central research sought to address the impact of China"s development and industrialization activities and its trade with Kenya on the environment from the period between 2001 and 2011. This study found out that first, China-Africa relations are a rather more complex phenomenon; they are rooted in a long history comprising of economic, socio-political, strategic and cultural dimensions. This relationship is in three phases: the formative phase, the restructuring phase and the consolidation phase. Secondly, literature review shows that China"s relations with Kenya have evolved significantly. They have been driven by development ventures related to China"s need for natural resources such as crude oil to power its modern, growing economy and also support its expanding industrial base. As well as catering for the rapid growth of its manufacturing sector. Countries like Zambia and Gabon continue to bear the brunt of environmental degradation that is resultant from its relations with China. Therefore, there is need for Kenya to strengthen its policies and regulations in the conduct of its relations with China. Thirdly, it is evident from the research that China"s development strategy prioritizes resource extraction for the global market; this has had negative ramifications on the environment. Just like any other development partner, China is interested in natural resources just like other donors and has transferred some industries in Kenya. Most of the industries that have been transferred from China usually have a large carbon Impact. Therefore, there is need to strengthen existing policies and regulations so to guard against dirty industries. Five key concerns and debates are the outcome out from this study. They include the question of equality and mutual benefit, the role of China in environmental diplomacy, transfer of dirty industries and waste trade and Economic Development vs. environmental protection. Therefore there is need for Kenya to look into these debates and address these key issues. This study recommends that first, for Kenya to benefit equally from its trade relations with China, there is need for it to invest more in the products in which it has comparative advantage. Secondly, there is need for Kenya to strengthen existing environmental laws and policies so that all the investments that China and other countries make in Kenya have minimal impacts on the environment. It should also heavily tax and introduce cumbersome procedures for transfer of industries that impact negatively on the environment. Lastly, Kenya should entrench low carbon development policies in its negotiations with potential investor countries.

I seem to be on a roll of seeing movies in the actual cinema of late. I'm mildly impressed with myself and have decided to review whatever I see in an attempt to make myself see more movies. I'm bullying myself basically.
Last Night
Myself and my flatmate watched the trailer for this only last week and suddenly I realised it was out in the cinema. Can't you tell that I'm on top of my movie news? Ahem. Anyway, the subtly sexy trailer and strong cast really made me want to see how it would all unfold.
A low key relationship drama, it sees young couple Joanna (Keira Knightley) and Michael (Sam Worthington) squabble over Michael's interest in a glamourous new co-worker Laura (Eva Mendes), before he heads on a business trip. While Michael spends time away from home Joanna bumps into an old flame Alex (Guillaume Canet) and soon finds herself ruminating on a love affair that never was while her husband flirts with temptation.
The plot, what little there is, does not neccessarily drive this slow burning romantic drama. Ultimately, despite some neat cameos, this is a foursome with Knightley and Canet weaving flirtatious rings around each other while Worthington and Mendes hammer out a tentative but intense bond. Last Night isn't afraid to play with audience expectations and build tension and once it gets past a stiff and overly talk opening act, it crafts plenty of romantic and melancholic moments.
Knightley and Worthington clash more than they sizzle as a couple but once they meet their respective temptations that seems to be the point. Both Joanna and Michael reveal whole new sides to their personalities when they meet their prospective lovers. But, this isn't a movie about a couple cheating on each other and to say any more would ruin much of the enjoyment.
What this film does deliver is a engrossing portrait of love and desire and lets a fine ensemble play to their strengths. Knightley is jittery and beguiling as she revels in the easy charm of Canet's character while Worthington plays an emotionally complex male understandbly unnerved by the confident yet subtle sexuality of Mendes' Laura. Writer/director Massy Tadjedin has created a movie that doesn't patronise the audience and so you'll find yourself playing out a fair few moral dilemmas in your own head throughout.
A clear attempt at counter programming a summer of noisy action flicks, boisterous comedies and superhero flicks Last Night is an intelligent and powerful drama piece. While not quite as clever as it likes to think it is it offers up some interesting characters and has a hypnotic, easy rhythm that will draw you in.

Per this report, the Eagles have had a private workout with ILB Arthur Brown. He is expected to go in the 20-30 range, but if he slips into the early 2nd round, the Eagles could be interested.
ILB is a tough position to get a feel for in regard to the Eagles. DeMeco Ryans is a key veteran. Mychal Kendricks is young and a possible star. The Eagles are probably just doing due diligence in checking Brown out, but they have looked at other ILBs so this isn't completely casual. If he's got a high enough grade, Brown could be tough to pass on.
Oh, and he's the brother of RB Bryce Brown.
Arthur is a tough, instinctive LB. At only 6-1, 240, he lacks ideal size for the 3-4. He is a good tackler and hitter, and he's got excellent range. One knock on him is that he wasn't a major playmaker at Kansas State. He had 3 INTs and 3 sacks in his career, but no FFs. Strange for a guy who can hit as well as he does.
Chip Kelly spent several weeks studying Brown for the Oregon-KSU showdown in the Fiesta Bowl. Brown finished the game with 9 tackles and a TFL.

Computes political diversity indices or fragmentation/concetration measures like the effective number of parties for an electoral unity or across unities. The very intuition of these coefficients is to counting parties while weighting them by their relative political–or electoral strength.
1 2 3 4 5 6
PoliticalDiversity(x, index = "laakso/taagepera", margin = 1,
base = exp(1))
## Default S3 method:
PoliticalDiversity(x, index = "laakso/taagepera",
margin = 1, base = exp(1))
A data.frame, a matrix, or a vector containing values for the number of votes or seats each party received.
The type of index desired, one of "laakso/taagepera", "golosov", "herfindahl", "gini", "shannon", "simpson", "invsimpson".
The margin for which the index is computed.
The logarithm base used in some indices, such as the "shannon" index.
Very often, political analysts say things like 'two-party system' and 'multi-party system' to refer to a particular kind of political party system. However, these terms alone does not tell exactly how fragmented–or concentrated a party system actually is. For instance, after the 2010 general election, 22 parties obtained representation in the Lower Chamber in Brazil. Nonetheless, among these 22 parties, nine parties together returned only 28 MPs. Thus, an index to assess the weigh or the Effective Number of Parties is important and helps to go beyond the simple count of parties in a legislative branch. A widely accepted algorithm was proposed by M. Laakso and R. Taagepera:
N = 1/ ∑ p_i^2
, where N denotes the effective number of parties and p_i denotes the it^h party's fraction of the seats.
In fact, this formula may be used to compute the vote share for each party. This formula is the reciprocal of a well-known concentration index (the Herfindahl-Hirschman index) used in economics to study the degree to which ownership of firms in an industry is concentrated. Laakso and Taagepera correctly saw that the effective number of parties is simply an instance of the inverse measurement problem to that one. This index makes rough but fairly reliable international comparisons of party systems possible.
The Inverse Simpson index,
1/ λ = {1 \over∑_{i=1}^R p_i^2} = {}^2D
Where λ equals the probability that two types taken at random from the dataset (with replacement) represent the same type. This simply equals true fragmentation of order 2, i.e. the effective number of parties that is obtained when the weighted arithmetic mean is used to quantify average proportional diversity of political parties in the election of interest. Another measure is the Least squares index (lsq), which measures the disproportionality produced by the election. Specifically, by the disparity between the distribution of votes and seats allocation.
Recently, Grigorii Golosov proposed a new method for computing the effective number of parties in which both larger and smaller parties are not attributed unrealistic scores as those resulted by using the Laakso/Taagepera index.I will call this as (Golosov) and is given by the following formula:
N = ∑_{i=1}^{n}\frac{p_{i}}{p_{i}+p_{i}^{2}-p_{i}^{2}}

This is a super easy and cute way to "scare" up a shelf. I took the word BOO and changed out the O's for eyeballs. Once again heading into the garage for scrap wood I used a piece of 1"x6" pine. I cut them at 3 different sized (just because I like a little chaos)
I sanded down the edges and painted it black.
Using my wonderful Sure Cuts Alot 2 I used the font Burton's Nightmare to cut the B. I used a scrap of Halloween paper I had in my stash and Mod podge'd them onto the largest piece of wood.
Then I used this outline (I found on the web) to create a cutting file.
(Maybe I've just become lazy, but I pretty much use my Sure Cuts A lot and Cricut with everything I do!Seriously, it is worth the $60 for the program!)
Then I just Mod Podge'd everything all together. My little kids think they are great ( but not too spooky) but my bigger little kids loved them because they weren't "cutesy"
Super Easy, and just what I needed for this shelf!

A Thai nurse turns sleuth to catch the serial killer plaguing her hospital.
Detective Wiriyai Mookja of the Chiang Mai Royal Police Force visits Ladarat Patalang, a nurse ethicist for Sriphat Hospital, early one Monday morning to solicit her help. When a young woman recently brought her dead husband into the emergency room, a police officer thought he recognized the woman from an identical episode at another hospital. This remarkable coincidence can't possibly be a coincidence. Ladarat proceeds cautiously, impeded rather than helped by Sisithorn, her annoying new assistant. An additional victim, an American named Andrew Fuller who clings to life in a coma, seems to confirm her direst suspicions. Ladarat's inquiries shift to the back burner during the time she takes to console Fuller's family. But the investigation gains the traction and gravitas it deserves when medical records clerk Panit Booniliang finds eight cases at a handful of hospitals with the same pattern, each one under the same name, Zhang Wei—as common a name in Thailand as John Smith is in America—and each married to the same woman. Ladarat's tall order: find the next targeted Zhang Wei before it's too late.
The plummy prose of Casarett (Shocked, 2015, etc.) has an appealing formality, with a perpetual undercurrent of drollery. Piquantly titled chapters add verve. The measured introduction of colorful supporting players slows the story down but bodes well for the future of the proposed series.

Today's post is based on the rotator cuff, and ways to, hopefully, prevent injuries via regular exercises and advice.
First off, as always, I will discuss the anatomy involved.
The space between the acromion and humeral head is where the rotator cuff tendons get impinged, especially when performing overhead activities.
What does the rotator cuff do?
The rotator cuff muscles internally and externally rotates the humeral head. These muscles help support and secure the head of the humerus into the glenoid fossa.
This means that the rotator cuff muscles are key to stabilizing the shoulder joint.
Preventative Exercises
Often, rotator cuff strengthening exercises are given as shown below, with internal and external rotation being strengthened in standing or in lying.
These exercises do strengthen the rotator cuff, but not in a functional way applicable to climbing, as the predominant movements involved in climbing are above head actions, therefore the rotator cuff should be strengthened in a similar manner.
It is the same movements as described, but with the arms above the head as shown.
These movements can be performed in either standing, as above, or in lying, as below. They can be done using resistance bands, or free weights. The movements should be performed in a slow, controlled manner, ensuring the 90 degree angle at the elbow is maintained throughout.
Other exercises that can be performed to work the rotator cuff in a similar, over-head manner are displayed below. Again, these exercises should be performed in a slow, controlled manner, paying particular attention to the positioning of your scapula.
Important note: When performing any of these exercises, it is imperative that the shoulder complex as a whole is in the correct posture....
...as most climbers adopt the thoracic kyphosis posture, due to overtraining of the forward flexors.
This also applies to when performing the exercises, if the shoulder blades don't stay pulled back and become rounded and forward while performing these exercises, with the head of the humerus becoming more anteriorly located (moves forward), either drop the weight, or perform the exercises without the arms above the head, as described at the start of this post.
So other preventative measures for looking after your rotator cuff muscles and shoulder joint in general, are such methods:
- climbing technique - remember to use your feet, don't stretch too far for the next hold, rather work your way up to it, to reduce the load on the upper limbs
- flexibility - there may be a lack of spinal flexibility, especially around the thoracic area, as this can cause lack of movement around the scapula; tight posterior shoulder capsule or posterior rotator cuff muscles may also do the same (see below for stretch that can be performed on the posterior shoulder capsule)
- posture - this relates to flexibility, as well as the movement relationship between the scapula and humerus, known as the scapulohumeral rhythm, that is a key component in rotator cuff impingement. Also, musculature imbalance is related to posture, which is especially prominent in climbers! In some instances, it may be necessary to retrain the scapula and perform scapula setting exercises.
I hope these exercises and advice can prevent an injury. These exercises need to be performed often, and with low weight, high reps, as they are stabilizing muscles.
Any feedback or queries, give me a shout!

Novelist and popular historian Standiford (Washington Burning: How a Frenchman's Vision of Our Nation's Capital Survived Congress, the Founding Fathers, and the Invading British Army, 2008, etc.) revisits the genesis of the great English writer's most enduring book.
Also scattered through the text are stories about how December 25 became Christmas; how fir trees, greeting cards, turkeys and Santa got involved; and how Christmas transformed from a minor holiday, secondary on the Christian calendar to Easter, into the multimonth mega-holiday/shopping spree it has become. Charles Dickens (1812–70), Standiford asserts, set a-rolling down history's hill the giant Christmas snowball we now enjoy—or endure or deplore. The author easily, graciously and repeatedly acknowledges his debt to the heavy lifting of other scholars, principally biographer Peter Ackroyd (Dickens, 1990) and indefatigable literary historian Michael Patrick Hearn (The Annotated Christmas Carol, 2003). In many instances, Standiford is summarizing, musing and generalizing, but effectively so. One major narrative thread is Dickens's troubled childhood, which occasioned some of the greatest fiction in the English language. At the time he created A Christmas Carol (1843), however, the author's career was slipping. Martin Chuzzlewit, still in serial, was not faring well and he was in debt and additionally burdened by supporting his improvident father. He wrote his Christmas fable in six swift weeks, and the first printing of 6,000 copies sold out in days, though the expenses of publication negated much of the author's initial profit. Career revived, Dickens wrote four more Christmas books, all popular and all swiftly summarized here. A Christmas Carol would prove astonishingly durable, transforming into plays, films, cartoons, radio and TV shows, and an irascible Disney drake named McDuck. The author rightly focuses on the secular humanism and benevolence Dickens espoused.
A lot of information crammed into a few pages, but the modest thesis rings true.

Corporate and individual competences: how do they match the innovation process?
This work starts from the observation that, in the literature, there are few links between the strategic dimension of competences and that of human resource management. Indeed, on one hand the strategic vision of the core competences of the firm prevails and, on the other, the evaluation of such competences within the management of human resources is dominant. In this paper, the connection is sought in the innovative process of the firms and in the context of the resource-based theory of the firm. Three levels of analysis are highlighted: strategy, organisation and management of human resources. Then, in relation to the innovation process, three models of organisational capabilities for the management of competences are proposed competence maintaining capabilities, combinative capabilities and competence building capabilities. Three cases of firms operating in different competitive contexts are then analysed. Each has a different innovation pattern, from which the three models described have been drawn.

first up is a pretty & dotty set of three
|A pretty peony for a sweet little girl
reversible bunting, one side spots the other stripes
(I know it looks like the flags are alternated, but it is the way I have folded them!)
|another Happy Birthday bunting, part one..
|...and part two!
This one is made from gorgeous natural linen
each letter is a different pretty fabric
They are all off to their new homes
more to come next week!
more soon

Some time ago I visited the Hovercraft museum at Lee On Solent:
BBC has reported that the two iconic cross-channel SRN4 Mountbatten class hovercraft kept at the museum are to be destroyed.
So why is it that these locally (Cowes, Isle of Wight) built machines that are one of a kind are being destroyed? This is a British invention and nothing like the SRN4 has been built anywhere else in the world, yet politicians, councillors and nutters can only complain about immigrants and the EU!
No immigrant or the EU can be blamed for this appalling disrespect for British invention, creativity and intellectual knowledge. How many of the political moaners and nutters have bothered to visit the museum or offered financial support?
Latest news is that the government own the site and hovercraft:

OMG. We were all totally surprised at just how beautiful and classy Kim Kardashian's wedding dress was, as our jaws pretty much dropped to the floor when we first saw it.
Nobody would've been the least bit surprised if she'd showed off a ton of cleavage (since that's kinda her thing). The fact that the lace Givenchy dress completely covered her chest area was a pleasant surprise.
But as it turns out, the gown was even more over-the-top amazing than we ever imagined, based on this photo Kris Jenner shared on Instagram of Kim from the back.
Seriously -- is this the most gorgeous wedding dress you've ever seen or what?
I know. It's simply breathtaking. Look at how intricate the detail is on the bottom of the gown, and also on the veil. Isn't it exquisite?
I'm sure in all of the visions Kanye West had of what Kim would look like walking down the aisle, he never dreamed she'd pull off the goddess thing so perfectly. And aside from how gorgeous this thing is, it also seemed to truly capture the romance of being married in a historic setting in Italy. It's modern, but with a nostalgic twist, which couldn't have been more fitting.
Kim should definitely think about framing this picture to hang somewhere on the wall in her new Bel Air mansion -- if renovations on the damn thing are ever completed.
Something tells me the photo captures a moment she'll never want to forget -- her final seconds simply being known as "Kim Kardashian."
What do you think of the back of Kim's gown?

I graduated from The Entertainment Career Connection in 2010 with a certification in Audio Engineering and Production. There I studied audio mixing, recording, production and mastering. I currently study music education at Denver Metropolitan University. I am very active in the community volunteering my time as the Event Coordinator and Board of Directors for a non-profit organization called The Denver Creative Movement. In addition, I keep myself busy musically playing in my bands, Sleeping Giants, L.A.M.A. LIVE (Little Ambition Makes A lot), and The Free Electric Band. I continue to follow my life-long passion for music by educating others. I believe that music lessons should be a fun and rewarding experience, and place a high value on learning how to use music in everyday life. *** Lesson Details *** Students taking lessons from me can expect one thing for certain, patience. My philosophy is simple, music is FUN! With a laid back relaxed approach to teaching, I make my students feel comfortable and adapt to each student differently. Not every person learns the same way.

The first wolf in me wants the safety and comfort of belonging to the right club, the right social set, the right religion, and the right profession. It wants to believe that following the mainstream is the only safe path, and safety is most important. It prizes appearance over substance. It wants me to identify and follow great men, accepting their beliefs as authoritative and trustworthy. It wants to believe that there are men on the earth who would never be allowed to lead me astray. It wants me to pity people who don't follow those men, and who don't adhere to that true religion, and it wants me to be unable to fully empathize with their experiences.
In that way, the first wolf wants me to see those people as less than me, or alien to me. It becomes threatened when people stop conforming to the standards of dress and behavior that serve as a shorthand for "in the group." Because it doesn't accept their full humanity, the first wolf won't let me fully love people who aren't like me. If it can apply a repulsive label to someone, it knows it will be that much easier for me to reject their ideas. Because it prizes the sense of security and safety it finds in following the right leader and belonging to the right institution, it wants me to shut my ears to truth which contradicts the false notions under-girding that sense of security. It trembles and rages if I listen to them, and doesn't like being contradicted. The same wolf wants me to rely on the security and comfort of man-made objects, buildings, economies, governments, and religions institutions.
The second wolf knows there is only security in truth, and that ultimately it can only get that truth from God. When evaluating other's opinions, it values experience and sound reasoning over position and office. This wolf is more likely to make tentative conclusions based on ongoing learning than to take dogmatic positions based on tradition. It is never too proud to admit when it is wrong, and gratefully accepts correction. When it possesses pure knowledge, it lovingly attempts to persuade others. When it doesn't know, it doesn't need to be heard.
This wolf is insatiably curious. It wants ugly and uncomfortable truth no less than beautiful and encouraging truth. It knows that both kinds of truth are faith-promoting. It is eager to identify and discard false traditions masquerading as truth. It is allergic to them, because they destroy faith before it can begin. It resists judging and condemning others for their perceived failings, because it knows that we all need forgiveness and grace equally. If someone says something false, it is not afraid to acknowledge that falsehood just because everyone else thinks that person couldn't be wrong. It knows the difference between speaking evil of someone and pointing out when they are mistaken. It thinks men are almost always self-important, silly, self-righteous, and vain, and he always reminds me that I am one of those men.
I can confirm that both of those wolves are alive and well. I shared this blog post because it feeds the second and enrages the first. Of course, I could read the same article in a way that feeds the first wolf: confirming what I already believe to be true and allowing me to judge other people as ignorant and blinded by tradition. I am grateful for the reminder to always question my own motives.Thank you, my friend, for your wisdom--and experience.

I had all the ingredients, sort of. I had dark chocolate, but no white (I don't like white chocolate anyway, it has no right to be called chocolate at all), so I used milk chocolate buttons instead. And I had no pecans, but I did have a few walnuts. (When I looked it up on-line, the recipe did use walnuts, and didn't mention white chocolate.)
It was extremely easy to make, and it worked pretty well. I think my mixture was a trifle drier than it should have been (which is odd, because I had fewer nuts), because it didn't exactly "pour" into the tin, as instructed, and it came out with a lumpy top instead of a smooth one. But it was beautifully dark, and while it didn't have the amazing melt-in-the-mouth texture of a really good traditional brownie, it was well worth the (very slight) effort. My friend thought so too, but she suggested it really shouldn't be called "brownie". So I thought maybe "brownish" would be better. This recipe is a combination of the online version here and the one in the Sunday Star-Times, 10 April 2012, plus my own variations.
1 cup unsweetened apple purée or sauce
1/3 cup cocoa powder (I used Dutched cocoa)
3/4 cup self-raising flour (next time I might try a little less and see what happens)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (I used little chopped-up bits of Whittaker's dark Ghana)
1/2 cup milk chocolate buttons
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
icing sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 20x20cm baking dish with baking paper.
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 20x20cm baking dish with baking paper.
Place purée in a medium-sized bowl. Sift in cocoa, flour and baking soda. Add sugar and salt. Mix until just combined (do not over-mix as this will toughen the brownies). Gently fold in the two kinds of chocolate and the walnuts.
Transfer to prepared baking dish. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the centre feels set and fudgy when a skewer is inserted. Cool in pan for 5-10 minutes before turning out. Cool completely before slicing into squares. Dust with sifted icing sugar before serving, if desired.
It looked darker and richer than this in real life. The bits of dark chocolate didn't melt much, but I liked it like that.

Treat Her Right is a blues rock group formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1984. The band originally featured Mark Sandman on "low guitar," Billy Conway on drums, Dave Champagne on guitar, and Jim Fitting on harmonica. Singing and songwriting duties were shared by all but Conway. Champagne and Fitting reformed the band in 2009 with new members Steve Mayone and Billy Beard.
In addition to being the forerunner to the successful indie rock band Morphine, Treat Her Right is often credited with helping to spawn the punk-blues hybrid (sometimes dubbed cowpunk, among other titles) that achieved prominence in the early 2000s. Critic Ira Robbins described Treat Her Right as "[n]ot quite a blues band, not exactly swamp trash and too stylized for basic rock'n'roll."[1]
Career (1984–1998)[edit]
The band derived its name from the 1965 international smash hit by Roy Head and the Traits, "Treat Her Right." Their instrumentation was somewhat unusual, with Sandman's "low guitar" mimicking a bass guitar, and Conway playing a Cocktail drum rather than the more common drum kit.
The group's self-financed and self-titled debut was released on a small Boston record label in 1986 before being issued in the UK by Demon Records and the group signed to RCA Records, who reissued the debut in the United States. Their first recording attempt was a modest success – Champagne's "I Got a Gun" and Sandman's cover of James Blood Ulmer's "Where Did All the Girls Come From?" received some play on college radio. "I Think She Likes Me" describes Sandman's experience in a Fairplay, Colorado bar where a woman came on to him. Critic John Dugan described the debut as "slick, intelligent, sly, and well worth your while."[2]
Tied to the Tracks was issued in 1989. Sales did not meet RCA's expectations. In the notes for their third record, the group writes, "RCA decided that if our little basement tape could do so well, why not spend fifty times more money and it will be fifty times better! (They think everything works like that.)" Treat Her Right were dropped from their RCA contract.
What's Good for You, their third album, was issued on Rounder Records in 1991. The ragged, live-in-the-studio sound was partly inspired by the model established by Chess Records, which had released many classic blues and early rock and roll records. Shortly after this third release, Treat Her Right disbanded.
The group reformed in 1995 under the direction of Rolling Stones backup guitar player Bob Anderson,[citation needed] but disbanded for the second time in 1998.
Other projects and post-breakup[edit]
Fitting later played with The The, The Coots and Session Americana. Champagne remained musically active, playing with groups such as The Jazz Popes.[3] Sandman formed Morphine in 1989, which Conway joined in 1993. Although more blues-based than Morphine, Treat Her Right sowed the seeds of Sandman's later sound with its unusual instrumentation (Sandman's guitar with Treat Her Right was a three string custom model, making it sound more like a bass guitar) and slightly dark focus, most evident on the Sandman-penned songs.
Sandman died of a heart attack while onstage with Morphine in Italy in 1999. In 2004, Sandbox: The Mark Sandman Box Set was released; culled from Sandman's personal archive, the 2-CD/1-DVD set included several Treat Her Right songs, although for reasons that remain unclear, Jim Fitting's name was left out of every possible credit.
Reformation (2009–present)[edit]
The Treat Her Right song "Rhythm & Booze" was featured on The Hangover soundtrack, released in 2009. In the summer of this same year, The Lost Album, a record of unreleased Treat Her Right material, was released by Hi-n-Dry. Shortly thereafter, Treat Her Right reunited to mark the ten-year anniversary of Sandman's death at the Mark Sandman Memorial Concert in September, and the band continued activity thereafter. Champagne and Fitting led the new version of Treat Her Right, joined by Steve Mayone playing low guitar and Billy Beard (previously of the Boston new wave band Face to Face) playing drums.

What is Marginal Analysis
Marginal analysis is an examination of the additional benefits of an activity compared to the additional costs incurred by that same activity. Companies use marginal analysis as a decision-making tool to help them maximize their potential profits.
Marginal Analysis
BREAKING DOWN Marginal Analysis
Marginal analysis is also widely used in microeconomics when analyzing how a complex system is affected by marginal manipulation of its comprising variables. In this sense, marginal analysis focuses on examining the results of small changes as the effects cascade across the business as a whole.
Marginal analysis is an examination of the associated costs and potential benefits of specific business activities or financial decisions. The goal is to determine if the costs associated with the change in activity will result in a benefit that is sufficient enough to offset them. Instead of focusing on business output as a whole, the impact on the cost of producing an individual unit is most often observed as a point of comparison.
Example of Marginal Analysis in the Manufacturing Field
When a manufacturer wishes to expand its operations, either by adding new product lines or increasing the volume of goods produced from the current product line, a marginal analysis of the costs and benefits is necessary. Some of the costs to be examined include, but are not limited to, the cost of additional manufacturing equipment, any additional employees needed to support an increase in output, large facilities for manufacturing or storage of completed products, and as the cost of additional raw materials to produce the goods.
Once all of the costs are identified and estimated, these amounts are compared to the estimated increase in sales attributed to the additional production. This analysis takes the estimated increase in income and subtracts the estimated increase in costs. If the increase in income outweighs the increase in cost, the expansion may be a wise investment.
Comparing Multiple Options
Marginal analysis can also help in the decision-making process when two potential investments exist, but there are only enough available funds for one. By analyzing the associated costs and estimated benefits, it can be determined if one option will result in higher profits than another.
Marginal Analysis and Observed Change
From a microeconomic standpoint, marginal analysis can also relate to observing the effects of small changes within standard operating procedure or total outputs. For example, a business may attempt to increase output by 1% and analyze the positive and negative effects that occur because of the change, such as changes in overall product quality or how the change impacts the use of resources. If the results of the change are positive, the business may choose to raise production by 1% again, and reexamine the results. These small shifts, and the associated changes, can help a production facility determine an optimal production rate.

Romeo And Juliet go oop North in this compelling drama from writer-director Dominic Savage, which explores interracial love in a society where racism exists on each side of the ethnic divide. Set in an unnamed mill-town where whites and Asians live together in fractious disharmony, it's the tender tale of a teenage shelf-stacker (Tom Hudson) whose disgust at working alongside a "Paki" (Samina Awan) soon gives way to an attraction both are afraid to acknowledge.
Handheld photography and improvised dialogue give Savage's debut feature a telling authenticity that's bolstered by his young leads' raw and honest performances. So it's a shame that the story heavily relies on coincidence and contrivance. Still, like 2004's A Way Of Life, it proves that Brit cinema is richer or more relevant when it tackles subjects closer to home.

Thursday 8:18pm
Dear Steve,
I hate Zach's parents! They've now stopped us from talking to each other. Doesn't that suck? I hate 'em, I hate 'em, I hate 'em! Maybe they'll ease up sometime after his b-day. I just got off the phone with Zach. He's going to write. I can't decide whether or not it's a comfort that he cried for an hour when his parents told him. I think it is. It's very sweet and it satisfys (I know that isn't spelled right) some overdramatic urge. I know I'm overdramatic. I like being overdramatic. It makes life interesting. I've gotta go!
Ciao! 9:53pm
Friday 9:42am
Dear Steve,
Yesterday was officially the worst day of my life! Not only did I find out that I couldn't talk to Zach anymore but I also found out that we're not going to Montana! Doesn't that SUCK?! Something's wrong with the Mazda and dad doesn't trust the wagon! It's not fair! The only good part about it is that dad's probably going to take me to The Lost World in theaters! Now that's cool! However I would gladly never go to a movie again if I thought it would make Zach's parents change their minds! I've gotta go!
Love Meg
Dear Baby Me,
It is truly adorable that you just straight up admitted to enjoying being over-dramatic. I mean, I know that was true, and I feel like I remember knowing that was true even then, but it wasn't something you generally admitted to. If I could tell you something now, I suppose it would be that drama does not actually make life more interesting, not that it would matter.
It does suck that Zach's parents are against you for whatever reason, and it does suck that you didn't go to Montana. As I recall, that was the only major trip that was ever planned for just you and your dad and it never happened. I'm sorry that didn't happen for you, I know it would have meant a lot.
Also, as much as you are in love with Zach in this moment, let me assure you that you would not gladly give up all future theater trips for him. You probably wouldn't even give them up for the next 6 months. But, you know. It sounds nice.
Much love, Me

Last night I witnessed a traumatic event that resulted in a child losing his life. There is no sugar coating it, one minute he was there and the next he wasn't. This is the hardest part of my job. It's very easy to get caught up in the medications, the vitals, the labs, or the endless orders that are given to you and miss just really how sick these kids are and just how fragile their life is. It happened right before shift change of course and I don't think I'll ever forget the moment where the father is on the floor crying and the mother is in the room holding her child who has just passed. This all when I am trying to give report and go about my business as usual. No matter how long I am in this profession I don't think I will ever get used to those types of cries.
All I felt during that time was horror, I wish I could have had it in me to be praising God as he came in quietly as we were giving compressions to the child and took the child away in his arms but all I felt was sadness and pain. I know and believe that is what happened. That little child has no pain any longer and is sitting in the lap of my Savior.
This was a grim post but all that to say that I executively decided to put the February challenge on hold and I let myself have a glass of wine last night.
