While there are undoubtedly lots of different parking apps out there, most of them tend to focus on big parking lots rather than the sorts of driveway parking spots that a lot of people use in different urban locales. This is where the Spotter app comes in.
Developed by a pair of computer science students working out Brown University, this innovative parking app is designed to help homeowners rent out driveways that may sit unused when they're away at work for the day, or even out of town on vacation. The app makes it possible for drivers to navigate to their assigned driveway, and charges them a dollar per hour for the parking spot.
Currently only available to people in Providence, Rhode Island, this ingenious parking app is set to be rolled out elsewhere, and will appeal to homeowners looking to earn some extra cash as well as drivers looking for parking spots.

Spotify digital music services launches in U.S.
Los Angeles --
Digital music service Spotify arrived in the United States on Thursday, aiming its free song service at American listeners in the hope that they will then pay for more features, just as nearly 2 million have done in Europe.
Spotify gives people access to more than 15 million songs on computers for free as long as they listen to a few 15-second ads. It then tries to persuade them to pay $5 a month for a computer-only version that strips out the ads, or $10 a month for one that can be used on mobile devices including iPhones and Android devices.
"The key is to get them invested in the experience," Ken Parks, chief content officer and managing director of Spotify North America, said. "You spend 1,000 hours in an experience like Spotify building playlists, it sort of becomes part of your life."
"Suddenly the question about whether you pay the equivalent of two or three fancy coffees a month to take that collection on your mobile device becomes a much easier question to answer," he said.
The Swedish company has more than 10 million registered users and 1.6 million paying customers in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, Norway, France, the Netherlands and Spain. It added the United States as its eighth market as it launched for invited users in a test period.
Spotify is the latest in an array of companies to offer a subscription music plan with the cooperation of the major music labels. The competing plans include Rhapsody, MOG and Rdio. All offer a $10-a-month plan that allows for unlimited listening to millions of songs and the ability to save songs on phones for playback when outside of cell phone range.
So far, such plans have not been popular enough to reverse a decadelong slide in music sales, which has been mainly caused by piracy.
Last year, revenue from paid subscription plans fell 5 percent from a year earlier to $201 million, even though the number of subscribers grew about 25 percent to 1.5 million, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Including CD sales, downloads and other forms of music, the value of U.S. music shipments fell 11 percent to $6.85 billion, the RIAA said.
The most popular of the subscription services, Rhapsody, has more than 800,000 paying subscribers.
But none of the existing plans has what Spotify offers: an enticing free service that offers a huge chunk of listening and gets consumers to bond with its interface. Others have trial services that last from a few days to a week.
Pandora, a popular Internet radio service, allows for unlimited free listening to songs with audio ads, but it doesn't allow users to pick specific tracks and its library of songs is far smaller.
On Spotify, European users are allowed to listen for free for 20 hours a month for the first six months, after which their free listening is capped at 10 hours a month with a limit of five plays per song.
Spotify said it will study how U.S. users adopt the service before it decides on free usage caps here.

Two Lane Tunes
If you're a gearhead, chances are you enjoy a good road trip on two lane blacktop. You also may enjoy doing that in an old muscle car, hot rod or family car. With the summer on its way out (boo, hiss) and chilly autumn weather on the way, I figured now would be my last chance this season to get out a few recommendations for crusin' tunes. If you're into making up your own road trip playlists, feel free to snag a few of these and throw them into rotation before you put the car cover on the Sting Ray for its winter nap. There's a little something from the 1950's through today to try out.
Roy Orbison- Trying to Get to You (1956)
Perfect Accompaniment: 1957 Ford Fairlane 500
Wes Montgomery- OGD "The Road Song" (1966)
Jazz Guitarist Wes Montgomery lived in Indianapolis, Indiana. I remember reading years ago that he had a fear of flying, so when he booked gigs in Chicago, New York or L.A., he would load up his guitar and amp and drive there. While on the road, he had plenty of time to write new tunes and improvisations. That's probably why his music lends itself so well to the open road. Many of his live smooth jams carry on for 7 or 8 minutes, which is just enough time to get up to speed and set the cruise control.
Perfect Accompaniment: 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix.
Outlaws- Green Grass & High Tides (1975)
My Dad's love of Southern Rock rubbed off on me. This one works up to a nice fast paced barn burner...with some killer guitar work. Oh, its also damn near 10 minutes long.
Perfect Accompaniment: 1974 Pontiac Trans Am Super Duty
Bruce Hornsby and the Range-The Valley Road (1988)
Synthesized drums aside, this tune evokes motion from the first bar. A moving beat, some great piano runs and strong vocals from Bruce. The album this piece comes from "Scenes from the Southside" was a common choice for our family's trips to Florida. At 65mph, the highway lines pass by with the same beat as the drums. That's nerd stuff. Its surprising that we didn't wear out the cassette.
Perfect Accompaniment: 1987 GMC High Sierra 4x4
Cracker- Loser (1993)
Perfect Accompaniment: 1992 Lincoln Town Car
Beta Band- Dry The Rain (1999)
Perfect Accompaniment: 2000 Ford Contour SVT
Boards of Canada- New Seeds (2013)
Another Scottish import craft-made to soothe the soul. See the sunset on the album cover? When you're driving West after work and you're stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic and staring out the window wondering just where you fit in the grand scheme of things...this is what your internal soundtrack is. The freeway of your life is nothing more than a crumbling mid-century pipe dream.
Perfect Accompaniment: 2013 Hyundai Veloster

In a nutshell -
theGame[i][j].Click += clicker.buttonclickHandler(theGame, new ClickArgs(i, j))
the above line is giving me fits. Some additional info ... theGame is an array of buttons, the size of which is set at run time. What I am looking to do, is to have an event handler which can access elements of this array whenever one of the buttons is pressed, Hiding or Showing them.
As I understand it, the line performs a subscription ... so that clicker is now listening for the Click event from the specific button. This process is then repeated for each button in a for loop. The error I get is that the return type of my buttonclickHandler, which is void, is incorrect (should be System.EventHandler). However, System.EventHandler can't take custom arguments ... and I [believe] I need custom arguments in order to record which button was pressed.
I can post the full source if necessary, but it seems to me it's a bit long. Oh ... clicker is an instance of a the class that contains the buttonclickHandler method. And I do have the delegate setup in what I believe to be the correct way ...
Some things I've tried -
1) Well, I tried changing the return type to System.EventHandler ... however, this gave an error when I tried to pass ClickArgs instead of the generic EventArgs
2) I tried using new <Class Name>.buttonclickHandler( ...) ... this gave me an error that I was trying to use buttonclickHandler as a type instead of a method. I still think I may need something like this, as having the same instance subscribed to all of the buttons click events doesn't seem right to me.
3) I tried having the handler in the same class as the above line of code. This didn't seem to help, besides which the above is in a Form class that I didn't want to instantiate again ... perhaps it should be better partitioned.
4) At one time, through some manipulations, I got it to sort of work ... the event handler triggered, but apparently only when the button was created. After, when I clicked buttons, the handler did not trigger.
On second thought, here is most of my source ... some is in other files, and doesn't seem germane to the specific issue
public delegate void ClickDelegate(object sender, ClickArgs e); public partial class gameForm : Form { //Padding is size of a form beyond what is needed for the buttons //Offset is the position on the screen const int GAME_FORM_PADDING_X = 40; const int GAME_FORM_PADDING_Y = 40; const int BUTTON_FOOTPRINT_X = 60; const int BUTTON_FOOTPRINT_Y = 30; const int GAME_FORM_OFFSET_Y = 200; const int GAME_FORM_OFFSET_X = 200; const int BUTTON_SIZE_X = 50; const int BUTTON_SIZE_Y = 20; int rows, cols, total; bool human; Button[][] theGame; public gameForm() { InitializeComponent(); } public gameForm(int height, int width, bool _human) { //The basic component initializtion InitializeComponent(); //Set these form variables rows = height; cols = width; human = _human; total = rows * cols; this.SetBounds(GAME_FORM_OFFSET_X, GAME_FORM_OFFSET_Y, width * BUTTON_FOOTPRINT_X + 2*GAME_FORM_PADDING_X, height * BUTTON_FOOTPRINT_Y + 2*GAME_FORM_PADDING_Y); createGameBoard(); } public void createGameBoard() { int i, j, x, y; //Create an instance of the class that does the event handling ClickHandlerClass clicker = new ClickHandlerClass(); //Create the delegate to handle button presses ClickDelegate handler = clicker.buttonclickHandler; //Create the game board theGame = new Button[rows][]; for (i = 0; i < rows; i++) { theGame[i] = new Button[cols]; for (j = 0; j < cols; j++) { //Create the button; it knows its position in the full grid theGame[i][j] = new Button(); //Calculate button positions x = GAME_FORM_PADDING_X + j*BUTTON_FOOTPRINT_X; y = GAME_FORM_PADDING_Y + i * BUTTON_FOOTPRINT_Y; theGame[i][j].SetBounds(x, y, BUTTON_SIZE_X, BUTTON_SIZE_Y); //Display button indexes (incremented for looks) theGame[i][j].Text = (i + 1) + "," + (1 + j); //Subscribe the buttons to the handler that plays the game theGame[i][j].Click += clicker.buttonclickHandler(theGame, new ClickArgs(i, j)); //Add the buttons to the forms' control list this.Controls.Add(theGame[i][j]); } } } } public class ClickHandlerClass { //Button clicks play the actual game - removing all buttons with a //higher index in either row or column than the clicked button. public void buttonclickHandler(object sender, ClickArgs e) { int i,j; i = e.Row; j = e.Col; MessageBox.Show("Click fired for button " + i + ", " + j); //sender.Visible = false; } }

Tips and tricks for IBM Case Manager V5.1.1
After passing the initiation phase of developing and designing my first IBM case Manager project, i decided to share with you my experiences about this tools and give you some tips and trick about developing solutions using ICM.
Tips & Tricks
- Of course first tips comes to my mind here is to take care of using the Case Manager Builder "Reset Test Environment" button , because once you click it, it will remove deployed solutions and other data from the development target environment.
- Using Case Manager Builder, Make sure you have determined all step responses before starting design the tasks because you can not delete these responses if you have used for connecting to other steps, you will face some errors saying this response is used.
- If you need to edit or delete any response exists in tasks, after you have finished designing the task, you have to do this from Process designer.
- Make sure you have clicked ok button after each and every action for creating step or connectors.
- Also, make sure you Clicked the validate and save buttons every action in designing tasks steps.
- If you used DB execute in any system step for Stub Step using SQL Stored Procedure, make sure that all parameters are output.
- If you needs to set conditions in responses for your steps, you have to do that from Process Designer.
- Make sure you did not register two Widgets with same ID on the Business Space, because this will raise an error in the Case Manager Client and clear all custom and built in Widgets from edit pages.
- If you have widget wired to another one and you needs delete this widget , you have to delete the wires then the Widget.
- If you need to assign properties created by Case Manager Builder you have to assign the variables with the following expression F_CaseFolder.[Propertyname], for example if you have property called loanname you have to set it as follows F_CaseFolder.LoanName="loan1"
- If you have Custom Validation of Task Step Data visit, you visit this link
- If you need to Add IBM forms or FileNet EForm, please visit the following link
- When you have custom page and you need to assign it for specific task step, you have to register this page to the solution from IBM Case Client then you can assign this page latter from Builder.
- Use this JS line of code, DEFAULT_XHR_PREVENT_CACHE: true , to Disable Widget cashing.
- To Customizing the IBM Case Manager Client to hide or show existing banner content visit this link .
- To Change Manage role to search by username instead of Display name follow these step(open FileNet Enterprise Manager Administration Tool, right click then select properties, select directory configuration tab, then modify the AD, go to Users tab and finally update user display name attribute to samAccountName) .
Actually this post not ended as i am still working in this project and i will update it as soon as i found something interesting to you, but can you share with me this activity and enrich this post with your comments about any new tips you noticed in working with ICM.

BBC Radio 3 Documentary: A Brief History of Being Cold. Description from the page:
"Alexandra Harris presents a cultural history of the cold and how it has shaped the British. With the help of poets and writers including Simon Armitage, A.S. Byatt, Katherine Swift and Adam Gopnik Alex looks at the way our literature began with the cold in poems like 'The Seafarer' and 'The Wanderer'. Making winter a synonym for age and endurance the Anglo-Saxons wrote poetry mesmerised by the beauty and horror of cold. In Yorkshire Simon Armitage discusses his translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight imagining the Pennines crossed by Gawain, hung with icicles on his hunt for the Green Knight. And the gardener Katherine Swift takes us on a winter tour of her garden in Shropshire."

In my rating scheme, I am beginning to move up the slot for Italian movies, quite close to the French. A couple of masterpieces are the reason for this 'falling-in-love-all-over-again' phenomenon.
Don't Tell/2005
Imagine watching a movie with a couple of really annoying strangers in your backseat. They talk in loud voices, laugh at inappropriate times and don't care if they are disturbing you. Well, that's to give you an idea of the atmosphere of
this movie screening. To explain further, there was something wrong with audio in the discs.The technicians didn't get that at first and were tooling around every possible piece of equipment. When nothing worked and no voice emanated, they hit on a audio channel that had the italian directors commentary. They thought , "Ah, we got the audio!" and left us, watching the entire movie with the commentary. Thank Goodness, it was in Italian. I slowly trained my ears to shut off . All thanks to the really great movie. If the movie had been any less beautiful, I might have screamed and left... Well, at least left! It handled some very sensitive topics in such a neat manner. Natural performances by each of the characters. The wit and irony in one of the last scenes just bowls you over. I think this movie taught me something deep... To get some meaningful things, you sometimes have to put up with a lot of nonsense but it all still makes perfect sense in the end.
What will happen to us/2004
A truly hilarious piece of comedy about three high schoolers.
In the first few scenes, it gave a very unique perspective on the student life there.
It had some awesome pieces of dialogue. Here's a quick conversation between the examiners and a student in the movie. It's an oral exam and the examiner sizes up the student and says:
"I am going to make this easier for us. Please talk about about anything you want"
"Oh yes, I know about World War 1.. It started with the extermination of a prince person."
"The war was born on June 14, 1928 ..No,no June 28,1914.."
"A war is born? and then it dies? It breaks out!"
The examiners nod their heads in disbelief.
I imagine what fun it must be for teachers, if they really take the time to read some of the papers we write!
The characterization of the trio is remarkable. Their personalities share nothing in common other than their friendship and still stay so connected till the end. There is another character that stands in stone in your mind. 'How a journey changes the life of these friends forever' is told in a very funny, moving manner.
Here's another excerpt:They are finding a place to stay at the last minute in Greece and only get a run-down place . It has some very quirky rules like the toilet hours: Morning 7-9 and Evening 7-9. One character sees this and says," What? Should I be in diapers the rest of the time?"
It has me in stitches every time I think of it!

Nigeria to experience total lunar eclipse on Monday – NASRDA
The National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) on Friday said Nigeria will join other countries of the world to experience total lunar eclipse on Monday.
The information was contained in a statement issued to NAN by Dr Felix Alle, the Head, Media and Public Communications of the agency in Abuja.
According to Alle, lunar eclipse is one in which the moon appears darkened as it passes into the earth's shadow.
He stated that "lunar eclipse occurs only when the sun, earth and moon are exactly aligned with the earth between the two.
"There will be a lunar eclipse over Nigeria on Monday, Jan. 21, 2019.
"The eclipse, expected to be total, will begin in the evening of Sunday and end on Monday.
"The eclipse will start across Nigeria in the early hours of Monday at approximately 3.36 a.m. to reach its maximum
at 6.12 a.m. and end at about 6.51 a.m.
"The total duration of the occurrence over Nigeria will be three hours and 15 minutes."
The media head said that the lunar eclipse would by 4.33 a.m. become partial eclipse, where the moon would start getting red.
He added that "at exactly 5.41 a.m., a maximum eclipse of the moon which may be visible to human sight will be witnessed, while the moon eclipse is expected to end at 6.43 a.m."
The communications officer stated that the eclipse was expected to take place across North, South America, Western Europe, North and West Africa and Asia.
He said that the year's total lunar eclipse would be the last eclipse to be experienced until 2021.

Lieberman avoids the subject...is the press catching on?
Is the media finally getting the message and pointing out the obvious...Joe Lieberman's distancing himself from the issues that he had no problem discussing prior to the primary. Maybe the press has finally had enough of Lieberman's refusal to answer questions he doesn't like while happily misleading reporters over Ned Lamont's record.
...or maybe they're reading the blogs.
When Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was speaking to a joint session of Congress this week, was Joe Lieberman trying to change the subject?Is this the same senator who had no problem writing an op-ed criticizing Democrats who opposed the President over the management of the war? Why hasn't the senator jump in front of a camera and praise the President's forgein policy now?
As al-Maliki was about halfway through his speech, Lieberman's staff sent out a press release trumpeting how the Connecticut Democrat had vigorously opposed legislation - in a debate that ended 16 hours earlier - making it harder for pregnant girls to cross state lines to obtain an abortion without parental consent.
Back in the House chamber, Lieberman applauded much of the prime minister's address. But when al-Maliki was finished, and dozens of lawmakers spilled into the halls to talk to the media, Lieberman was nowhere to be seen.
Why is he avoiding the subject?
Two words: Ned Lamont.
The Courant accurately documents Lieberman's past statements and easily connects the dots.
Since January, when it became apparent that Lieberman was likely to face a primary challenge over his support for the war in Iraq, the senator has mentioned Iraq in 11 press releases, op-ed articles or other public statements archived by his office. About half of them expressed support for or confidence in the war effort or the troops.Facing a primary challenge, Lieberman sheepishly runs away from the issues that he had no problem commenting on (to the anger of his fellow Democrats) last year. What's more obvious is Lieberman's desperation as he begs for support from the same Democrats he disagreed with in the previous years.
In the same period of 2005, his office put out 26 statements mentioning Iraq; again, about half supported the war or the troops.
When he has spoken about Iraq this year, his statements have tended to be more measured and reserved than they were last year.
After President Bush's 2006 State of the Union address, for instance, Lieberman spent most of his time criticizing Bush's tax and energy policies.
Though Bush discussed Iraq, Lieberman would not join the chorus of Republican praise for the administration strategy. "We remain a nation at war - at war in Iraq and also at war with Islamist terrorism around the world, and it was important for the president to discuss it with the nation tonight," the senator said.
That was an emphasis quite different from the one Lieberman used in 2005. After that year's address, the senator got quickly to his point: "The president spoke about the importance of completing our mission in Iraq, and I couldn't agree more."
And, Lieberman said, "We're on the road to peace and democracy in Iraq, and we'll reach our goal if we stick to it."
He was similarly enthusiastic last year when he called the Iraqi elections "a new dawn for democracy in Iraq."
"We have reached an important milestone and achieved a new momentum in reaching a goal all Americans should embrace - building a secure, peaceful, democratic Iraq that is no longer a threat to the United States or the international community," he said.
By contrast, the statement his office put out after al-Maliki spoke Wednesday seemed almost downbeat.
"I hope that the Prime Minister takes away from his visit here that the U.S. will continue to back him in his fight to build a stable, secure, democratic and independent Iraq," he said, "but that success in that quest will not depend on us, but on the Iraqis themselves, and he must match his words today with decisive actions when he returns to Iraq."
Gonzales was being subjected to blistering criticism from Democrats for saying in 2002 that some rights of prisoners of war spelled out in the Geneva Conventions were "quaint."And who can forget the ultimate slap in the face to the Democratic Party as a whole...
Lieberman noted how Gonzales' opinion "has been quoted with great derision, laughter, as if it was over the edge." Lieberman was on Gonzales' side. "I think Judge Gonzales was being restrained and diplomatic in using the word `quaint' [for a captor] to offer these benefits," the senator said, referring to things such as the ability of a prisoner to receive musical instruments and access to a canteen to buy soap, tobacco and food.
The senator also angered many in his party by appearing too cozy with the administration over its plans to reform Social Security. Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid of Nevada was eager to have all 44 Senate Democrats united against privatization.
Lieberman met with Treasury Secretary John Snow for 45 minutes and hosted administration officials at meetings of the bipartisan Senate Centrist Coalition. Leadership staff quietly made calls to Lieberman's staff urging him to stick with the party, and Lieberman soon signed a letter with other Democrats opposing privatization.
In December, Reid and Lieberman were at odds again. Lieberman had angered many Democrats with a Nov. 29 Wall Street Journal article.Lieberman has been able to avoid talking about the issues that got him into this primary challenge choosing instead to change the subject and misleading the press. Hopefully this article is a sign that the press is catching on to Lieberman's tricks and has had enough of his games. One thing is for sure, as long as Americans are dying and the middle east going down the tube, the voters of Connecticut aren't going to be fooled by the senator who last year was the biggest cheerleader for the Bush administration (thus the term, George Bush's favorite Democrat).
"I am disappointed by Democrats who are more focused on how President Bush took America into the war in Iraq almost three years ago," Lieberman wrote, "and Republicans who are more worried about whether the war will bring them down in November's elections, than they are concerned about how we continue the progress in Iraq in the months and years ahead."
"This isn't unique to Joe Lieberman," said Amy Isaacs, national director of Americans for Democratic Action, a liberal advocacy group. "But voters are smart, and usually what ends up happening when you play this game is you energize your enemies and alienate your friends."If you see Lieberman during his tour of the state, make sure to hold him accountable for the statements that he currently refuses to comment on.

Perfect stickiness and sweetness. The mango was so fresh. The really relaxed casual outdoor atmosphere was perfect for a sunny Sunday afternoon lunch. Thanks for the recommendation.

"The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is."---Winston Churchill
The quest for the truth behind the much talked about NBN-ZTE contract has become Arthurian in nature. Calls for the lofty ideals of truthfulness, integrity and honor are being made of the government officials summoned to appear and testify at the Senate. Following "Joey" or Jose de Venecia III's explosive testimony, the next man to be literally grilled on the proverbial kitchen sink or burner is former National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) Secretary and now Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Chairman Romulo Neri. He was apparently transferred to this new post after his former office flatly rejected the ZTE proposal. Just today, 26 Sep 07, appearing with Commission on Elections (Comelec) Benjamin Abalos on the Senate hearing, he recalled how the former offered him Php 200 million in kickback if he were to push through with the now ballyhooed deal. To quote Abalos, "me 200 ka dyan Secretary." He said he assumed it was P200 million "given the magnitude of the project...Siguro hindi naman P200 or P200,000." Apparently, he couldn't stomach the negotiation, rejected the ZTE proposal and informed PGMA of the nefarious offer by Abalos. He further revealed that the President ordered him to reject the offer.
But what he and the president further discussed regarding the controversial project, he simply refused to reveal by invoking the blanket of protection offered by Executive Order 464. One must recall that this executive order, which was ingeniously drafted at the height of the Hello Garci controversy, bars pertinent government officials from discussing issues which involves "conversations with the President." Essentially, it is an all-encompassing gag order which restricts officials from giving testimonies in a public hearing say, in the Senate or in the Congress, which could prove damning to the executive office. It is a two-edged sword which prevents the official from perjuring himself and the highest official in the land, the President, herself. As such, EO 464 is the main escape route of officials who are burdened by the knowledge of the truth but doesn't want to run the risk of outrightly telling a lie. They can keep their blessed silence by simply invoking this seemingly innocuous executive order and instantly free themselves of the task of telling the nerve-wracking truth or a convoluted lie. (It takes fun out of the game if you ask me.)
The real story behind the NBN-ZTE broadband deal is becoming more and more complicated, with additional characters coming to light as the days go by. With the plot thickening, it threatens to spill over and implicate the President herself. What does she truly know about the broadband deal? Was she aware of her huband's supposed contentious involvement? And more importantly, why is Comelec Chairman Abalos even a part of this issue when his primary concern in the government is the "counting" of votes come election time? Is there any special link behind his involvement in the deal?
In the end, we all just all want to know the truth. Truth that will hopefully set us free--finally.

Revenge Promo: Accusations, Altercations, RevelationsTV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Is Frank on to Emily? How far will he go to prove his devotion to Victoria? And, seriously, how creepy and annoying is Tyler?!?
As usual, Revenge left viewers with a number of questions last night, many of which are focused on the Graysons' now-former head of security. What will be his next move? Based on the following preview for next Wednesday's "Charade," it looks like Frank is inching ever close to Amanda Clarke.
Prepare for what ABC is hyping as a "game-changing episode," fans. We can only imagine what that means considering all that goes down in the Hamptons on a weekly basis...

I know I've already said this both days this week, but I'm still in shock that it's October. I mean if this month goes by as fast as September, then it's going to be November {which equals holiday season} before we know it! I have a strange feeling it'll zoom by since this coming weekend is my only "calm and lazy" weekend! Then I've got weddings, football and baby Charlie's arrival! Also, before November arrives, we have Halloween! I'm not going to lie, I'm really not the biggest Halloween fan in the world. However, I do enjoy a little bit of decorating and giving candy to trick-or-treaters! I think the main reason I don't care for Halloween too much is because I hate being scared more than anything in the world. I get nightmares. I'm talking serious nightmares where I wake up panicked, sweaty and can't go back to sleep. So I like my Halloween with more treats and less tricks!
Here are a few treats and fun Halloween decor that none other than Pinterest has supplied me with!
If only I was actually creating enough to make this jack-o-lantern!!! Check out mine and Maria's from last year!
As you can see, we're pros...
I seriously want to make these! I love that I can change the letters with the season {boo, joy, maybe make a 4th for love???}
I love this! It will probably never happen but it's my October mantel inspiration :)
Do you decorate for Halloween? Any fun ideas I should know about? I'll show y'all my decor once I get it all up! Anyone out there a Halloween lover? Tell me why! I'm thinking about doing this race on Halloween...as a running...probably dressed like a princess :) https://raceassist.webconnex.com/zombie Now to convince my hubs, sister and others to do it with me!
Until next time...
With love and God bless,

HNHS Diversity Club members know different is OK
By Rebecca Sandlin - Thursday, September 28, 2017 8:41 AM
Originally published Sept. 25, 2017.
Inside Room 115 after school hours at Huntington North High School, one girl, working on a poster that advocates love, has bright blue hair. Nearby is a boy who, he announces, is openly gay. Others have noticeable — or not necessarily noticeable — differences about them. But they all say the same thing about the club they belong to: it's a safe place to be.
KJ Prickett, a junior, says Diversity Club is an oasis in the middle of some of the unkind behavior that is unleashed on students who are "different."
"A lot of us in here are in the LGBTQ community, and outside of these doors, a lot of us get teased very badly," she says. "I had a friend who wanted to commit suicide from it, and it can get very intense sometimes in this school.
"There are not a lot of very nice people, so within these walls it's drama-free and we all love each other for who we are, no matter who you are … We do a lot of very cool things."
Between 10 and 35 students attend the club, which meets each Thursday after school. All are welcome. As one might expect, no putdowns are allowed in Diversity Club; the purpose of the club is to learn about and celebrate different types of diverse culture in the world, explains the club's sponsor, HNHS Spanish Teacher Emily Hoff.
"The purpose of the club, initially, was to create a space for all students to feel safe and welcome," she says. "That's kind of how it got started. Now the students are very much into anti-bullying, equal rights and mostly just celebrating diversity."
Junior Cameron Jagger is passionate about being in the club, ever since he first heard about it two years ago from some of his friends. He says no one is rejected from attending the club, for any reason.
"It was a safe place for people to go … I came one time and I really liked it," he says. "I met my best friends in this club.
"For the past two years I've been here I've come really close with people and made bonds with them. I couldn't possibly live without them, because they mean so much to me now."
Jagger says the most important thing he's learned from being in the club is that "different is OK."
"No matter where you come from, who you are, your religion, your sexuality, it doesn't matter," he says, adding he's had his own share of bullying from other kids at school.
"There are people in this school that really disliked me before they knew me, because I'm gay," he relates. "They called me 'fag' and names behind my back at school, and someone had threatened to beat me up before and worse.
"But I'm glad that it's toward me, because I am strong and I can handle it rather than someone who can't."
Jagger adds that one rule in the club is to leave the drama behind, just be one, and hang out.
Among its activities, Diversity Club hosts open mic events every other month, allowing students to open up about whatever is on their hearts and minds.
"We just have conversations about, mostly self love, some issues that the kids will have, whether it be bullying or depression or problems at school," Hoff says. "We just try to make a place where people feel like they can talk openly."
Other recent activities have included a field trip to a Mexican restaurant, going to Fort Wayne to view a film and shop at Hyde Brothers Bookstore, participating in the Walk for Hope at the HNHS Fieldhouse, which focuses on suicide awareness, and passing out hand-drawn buttons as they walked in the International Peace Day Walk this past week in Huntington.
Future plans include collecting books to donate to the Allen County Jail for inmates to read, accompanied by handmade bookmarks with encouraging words.
"But we usually just kind of hang out here and just accept each other," Prickett adds.
Prickett likes the fact that her blue locks make her stand out in the crowd. Sometimes it comes with a price if she gets teased or receives less than polite comments. But what she's learned in the club is armor and ammunition she can take out into the world when dealing with others.
"Honestly, just don't judge somebody by the way they look or the way they act, because not everybody is as strong as they look, and everybody has something going on in their life that you don't know about," she admonishes.
"It's nice to just even say 'hi' to somebody sometimes. It's something so little, but it can make people so happy."
Hoff says she is excited about the support the club has received from members of the community.
"It's been really important for the students to see that there are people who support them who are adults that they might not know," she says. "I feel that since Diversity Club has been growing, there have been more and more people reaching out and telling me what an awesome thing it is and how they think it's been needed a long time."

The beehive in this case was smuggled in but what about if you had it and got searched and it was found. That could be interesting indeed.
"Stewardess, can I have some bees too?" a lowly passenger asks.
"Nyet. It is a perk for business class only. You are
in poor section".
As you can guess, complaining does no good. And remember, if they are annoyed by your complaining,
they may execute...you!
" Hoo boy ! Next time Natasha ask for honey, Boris go-ink to grocery store. "
Free honey for all comrades!
Just curious if anyone saw the TSA spoof on Saturday Night Live this weekend? Very funny. As for the bees in business class, this is exactly why I always fly coach.
In Soviet Russia, bees fly YOU.
Comrades Beehiving Badly.
The Beehivik Revolutionin the making.
What would be worse, snakes on a plane or an agitated hive of bees?
If they were in a one-quart resealable bag, I don't see the problem...
Since I am deathly allergic to bee stings, this scares the carp outta me.
But then again it is Russia.
Bees are the last true communists in Russia; it's no wonder that the unnamed Moscow officials in first class wanted to commit insecticide.

SO YOUR client wants to know how the nerd that sat next to him on the plane got offered an upgrade to first class while he was left slumming it in cattle (I mean, economy) class.
Well, according to travel search site Skyscanner the most likely candidate to be honoured is male, well-dressed, about 30 years of age and travelling solo.
Based on a survey compiled from 700 cabin crew from 83 countries, the company says the most important individual factor is for the passenger to be polite and well-mannered. Scoring 82 per cent, this is two points higher than being a frequent flyer.
Other high-scoring factors are having an injury or illness, (fourth place, 65 per cent); honeymoon couples, (sixth place, 58 per cent), and spinners of sob stories in general (ninth place, 35 per cent).
At the other end of the scale, if the passenger is a woman, a teenager, wearing 'suggestive' clothing and/or travelling in a group, the inference is that they should know their place in life.

I was interested to read the book Riley Unlikely as it's always fascinating to me to read stories of people who choose a different path for their life. This story is easy to read and engaging telling of a young girl, Riley, who follows the call she feels God has for her to go to Africa. It's an easy read and good for a wide age range of readers and is encouraging to do what God has called you to do even if that just means reaching out to your next door neighbor. I give this book 4 stars.
**I was given this book in exchange for my honest review by BookLookBloggers. All opinions are my own.**

How to locate
inmates with the Federal Bureau of prisons website
How to Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons Website
The Federal Bureau of Prisons website is a helpful portal for anyone who wants to find a past or present inmate or who needs to locate a particular BOP facility. Reasons for wanting to use this portal vary and can include:
To Search By Inmate
Inmate searches at the BOP website can be performed for inmates from the year 1982 to the present. If you are looking for someone who went to a county or state jail, the BOP site will not have a listing for that individual.
1. Start your search by going to
2. Follow the 'Inmate Locator' link.
3. This link will take you to a form where you can search the database by a person's first and last name or their BOP ID number.
4. You may have the option to continue to narrow your inmate search by using a middle initial or selecting the inmate's race, gender, and age.

Lea Michele Wants to Have Kids '100 Percent'!
Lea Michele shows a peek of skin while attending a signing for her new book "Brunette Ambition" on Wednesday (May 21) at Barnes & Noble Union Square in New York City.
The 27-year-old Glee star was joined by her BFF Jonathan Groff, and recently opened up about wanting to have kids one day.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Lea Michele
"100 percent," Lea said during her Sirius Radio interview (via Wetpaint). "This is The Moms show and I'm a girl, so I don't think it's that crazy. I'm still playing like a 19-year-old on TV. I have the greatest parents. I really do."
She continued, "When you can see what it really looks like I think you can have an eye on how to find it. I'm a strong believer in that a good father will mold a great daughter. A lot of people think it's the mom – it is the mom – but when your dad teaches you about what a good man should be like and all of that, I'm telling you."
FYI: Lea is wearing a Tanya Taylor dress with Bionda Castana shoes.

Australia joins Ebola fight as epidemic slows
The first contingent of Australian health workers deployed under the Federal Government's contract with private provider Aspen Medical has arrived in Ebola-struck Sierra Leone.
A team of six doctors, eight nurses and three environmental health officers are currently undergoing in-country training and are set to begin working alongside around 200 local staff at a 100-bed British-built Ebola treatment centre at Hastings airfield, near Freetown, late this week.
AMA President Associate Professor Brian Owler, who has been a vocal critic of the Government's tardy response to the Ebola epidemic, which has so far left more than 6000 people dead, said he was pleased that Commonwealth-funded health workers were finally contributing to the international effort to tackle the deadly outbreak.
Australian doctors and nurses working for humanitarian organisations such as the Red Cross and Medecins Sans Frontieres have been in west Africa virtually since the outbreak began, but for months the Abbott Government rebuffed calls from allies and the international community to join the relief effort citing concerns about the logistical challenges of evacuating any Australian health workers who may become infected with the disease.
It eventually acquiesced last month, and engaged private health services firm Aspen Medical on a $20 million contract to staff and operate a 100-bed British-built Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone.
A/Professor Owler said he was satisfied with the Government's decision to contract Aspen to undertake the task following meetings with company officials and an inspection of its arrangements.
"I have had several meetings with Aspen officials, and have visited their headquarters in Canberra to get assurances about standards of training, equipment and care and evacuation arrangements should health workers become infected with the virus," he said. "The AMA is satisfied with the organisation of the deployment and the opportunity that has been provided for the hundreds of Australian health workers who want to volunteer to provide care and save lives."
Under an arrangement struck with British authorities, any Australian staff who contract Ebola will be treated at a British-operated hospital in nearby Kerry Town dedicated to treating international health workers
The risk of infection is far from negligible. By early this month, 622 health workers had been infected with Ebola, 346 of whom had died, according to the World Health Organisation.
But, significantly, a substantial proportion of infections did not occur at Ebola treatment centres but at other health facilities, underlining the need to adhere to infection control measures in all health settings, the WHO said.
By the end of last month, Aspen had received 400 expressions of interest from health workers, and 200 had lodged formal applications.
While Australian health workers are expected to comprise only a fraction of the 220 staff needed to operate the treatment centre at any one time, because they will each serve six-week rotations (including two weeks of in-country training), and because the deployment is expected to last months, if not years, Aspen has said it will need a substantial pool of workers to draw upon.
While Aspen is gearing up the Australian effort, other countries, most notably the United States, Britain, China and France, are continuing to build on their contributions.
US President Barack Obama has asked Congress to approve a further $US6 billion in emergency aid to fight the outbreak, while the UK and China are building more Ebola treatment centres – though charity MSF has warned the international effort is still falling short of what is required.
MSF International President Dr Joanne Liu said it was "extremely disappointing" that countries with biological disaster response capabilities had not yet chosen to use them.
Nonetheless, the Australian deployment has come amid signs progress is being made in containing the outbreak, particularly in Guinea and Liberia.
Signs outbreak is stabilising
In its most recent update, the WHO struck a cautious but hopeful note in its assessment of the outbreak, reporting that the rate of new infections had stabilised in Guinea and Liberia in the past five to six weeks, though transmission of the virus in Sierra Leone remained "intense", and it has spread to Mali, where at least seven people are confirmed to have been infected.
In Guinea, where 1327 people have died, there were 77 new cases in the last week of November, down from 148 the week before, while in Liberia – where 3145 people have died – there were 48 cases in late November, down from 78 the previous week.
The situation in Sierra Leone remains much more concerning, where there were 537 new cases in the last week of November (up from 385 the previous week), including 202 in the capital, Freetown.
Confidence about bringing the outbreak under control has been boosted by a build-up of resources.
The WHO said each of the three west African countries hardest hit by the disease now had sufficient facilities to isolate and treat at least 70 per cent of all new Ebola infections, to conduct laboratory tests within 24 hours and to safely bury 70 per cent of all who die from Ebola – each of which were considered key benchmarks in stemming the epidemic.
"At a national level, there is now sufficient bed capacity in Ebola virus disease (EVD) treatment facilities to treat and isolate all reported EVD cases in each of the three countries, although the uneven distribution of beds and cases means there are serious shortfalls in some areas," the Organisation said. "Similarly, each country now has sufficient and widespread capacity to bury all reported EVD-related deaths."
Despite this progress, the disease remain deadly for many of those who catch it.
The WHO reported a case fatality rate across west Africa of 72 per cent among all confirmed cases, and it was still a high 60 per cent among patients who were hospitalised.
In addition to those who fall ill, the disease is also taking a heavy social and economic toll.
Almost half of Liberians who had a job when the outbreak started are now unemployed, and the World Bank said the disease had crippled the economies of affected countries.
In estimates released last week, the World Bank said Sierra Leone's growth rate had tumbled from 11.3 per cent before the outbreak to 4 per cent now and a likely minus 2 per cent next year, while Liberia's growth rate had been slashed from 5.9 per cent to 2.2 per cent now and 3 per cent next year, and Guinea's had been cut from 4.5 per cent to just 0.5 per cent, and was likely to drop to minus 0.2 per cent in 2015.

Jim Freebody (Middle Island, NY)
Freebody doesn't get to take his seat at the final table as his elimination comes at the same time as Jane Mignanelli (Franklin Square, NY) elimination at the other table.
Freebody has 8♥ 8♠ vs A♦ 8♦ of Andrew Interdonato (Washington, DC), but Interdonato call for the ace and hits it on the river.
Freebody is out in 10th place for $684, as the remaining nine players draw for their final table seats.

I think he will tweak it a bit more before it's fully done.
I'll try to make it something downloadable as well as static. Like a pdf or something.
Hey PB,
Glad you are back!
While reading through the RC 2.0 text you uploaded I noticed in the description of differences between missileers and skirmishers both descriptions say "Tend to have more 'fragile' mental stats eg Low Discipline, but this is also dependent on their type eg Local, Pro, Feudal or whatever"
Are these supposed to be the same, or is there a difference in regard to mental stats between the two unit types?
Wealth beyond measure, Outlander.
I hope you can release the 2.0 compilation soon, but here's something that always has been bothering me : these fancy unit classes system on RC, is it already integrated within the stats or is it stacked up?
I mean, let's say there's an early pro elite archer unit armed with composite bows with 4 missile attack stats (from the in game unit information table), according to RC guide, that unit should get +2 extra damage and another +1 extra damage (more or less, I haven't exactly read the entire guide)...
so, does that unit actually have 7 missile attack? or just 4? if it 7 then the in game tables are misleading (and so does that RR/RC compilation units project page website), perhaps you should consider put the correct information in the game?
Last edited by napoleonic; July 26, 2011 at 12:33 PM.
The in-game stats are the end product of all the class and type bonuses and penalties.
The tables explain how the final number was reached.
Elite bowmen get +1 to the missile attack, so the unit would have 4 (foot composite bow) + 1 = 5. There is no +2 for elite bowmen anywhere.
Last edited by k/t; July 26, 2011 at 05:40 PM.
so the in game unit information is totally wrong then? but here's the thing I'm confused... where does that extra stats come from in the game files??? I'm going to give example here, I'm using RW's submod so things may not be the same :
IIRC in RW's submod, the in game info says that mourtatois are superior local with 5 missile attack... I can see that "5" from the stat_primary, but where do the bonuses & penalties (being as superior unit, using composite bows, being as local unit etc) come from?type Mourtatoi

*I'm not only talking about attack stats here, but also about defense, morale, heat penalty from armor, etc
so I can see that they have 9 mental stats, but where do the extra modifiers come from? (as the same case with attack stats and everything)

I was going by the old version, so I was correct.
I just took a look at the new file.
1) Are camels really as fast as the fastest ponies?
2) Are bowmen getting a few too many boosts? Just because an archer is better trained it doesn't mean he can shoot an arrow with more energy than a lesser trained archer. The only things that matter are the bow and the arrow. If a man is capable of pulling the bow to full draw, then he'll do the same damage with it the first time he picks it up as someone who has spent years training with it. He won't be as accurate or as fast to reload and he'll get tired more quickly, but the arrow will fly equally far.
3) I didn't see anything about accuracy in the new version, but in the old one longbows were more accurate than composite bows. What prompted you to make it so?
4) Is the distinction between Chargers and Brawlers based on history? Didn't the tactical situation rather than general military doctrine dictate the tactics employed by cavalry? If ordered, the cavalry can retreat and charge again, or push through to break the enemy's formation. I assume things like Lancers will be classified as Chargers, but in that Pavia example you give on occasion they rode through the pike squares. Wouldn't such superheavy cavalry keep driving forward after slamming into an enemy and switching to swords? (This is based on the assumption that the "Idle" animation means they would just stand there with only the front guys fighting instead of pushing forward or backward.)
You mean why they are listed as Superior and why they have composite bows and why they are Local units? Historical accuracy plus some judgment calls by PB.Originally Posted by napoleonic
Another thing that I've been wondering about for a while is mounted archers getting -1 compared to foot archers due to the assumption that mounted archers have to use less stiff bows. On the forum of his website, Grozer Csaba said he didn't believe that horsearchers used bows that were much "weaker" than the ones used by infantry. When you shoot a bow, you push with one hand and pull with the other. Whether your feet are planted firmly on the ground or in stirrups shouldn't matter. I will do some more snooping and see if I can find additional opinions from people with experience on this subject (ideally someone like Kassai Lajos or Lukas Novotny).

Well you are talking about RC version before 2.0. In that case, Composite Bow has base 4 attack +1 for being Superior shooter = 5, as in the PDF.
For RC 2.0 you can find the damage modifiers in the tables

Thanks, good to be back I figure I'll just continue where I left off and get a release out with what I have up to now plus any more stuff that can be easily included. It has a ton of submods already integrated (eg here is the list of submods in my latest game:
[campaign] late
[scripts] AiSoulson.txt BGR4.txt Early_Era.txt GarrisonScript.txt LimitedActivities.txt LongerAssimilation.txt NextHeirMod.txt ReallyBadAI_Update.txt Realrebellion.txt RebelGeneralsEnhanced.txt SoX.txt TNML.txt)
, honestly its 90-95% done, but its that last 10% that takes all the time.
For TATW, the main thing is to add RC 2.0 to it, and Moneybags14 has almost completed an autogen spreadsheet for the units so that could be a big timesaver - it should be able to be modified for medieval also. Otherwise I just need to update the EDB for 2.1. Actually I don't think it will take too long.
I'd say my focus will still be on SS, 70/30, then after release 30/70 in favour of TATW perhaps.
It didn't help that my 10 month old daughter spilled a glass of water into my laptop, frying it. My current machine can barely run M2TW, but I have a new machine being delivered in a week
Hmm, new release of SS, I'm not sure when that will be!!

Dave Franco: 'Business Trip' Set with James Marsden!
Dave Franco suits up and braves the rain while arriving on set of his latest film Business Trip on Tuesday (October 8) in Berlin, Germany.
The day before, the 28-year-old actor was joined by his co-stars James Marsden, Vince Vaughn, and Tom Wilkinson as they shot more scenes for the Ken Scott-directed comedy.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Dave Franco
Dave recently shared the best advice he received from his older brother James Franco.
"The best thing he's ever told me is to be patient and hold out for movies that I really want to do," Dave told Wonderland. "About two years ago I made the decision to only go out for projects that I am passionate about, although I knew at the time that might've been the stupidest decision I ever made because I might never work again."

The word 'Commonty' is defined as a piece of common land not in any known ownership within a particular Parish. Since April 2014 the Trust has taken ownership of 33.6 acres of land that sits amidst wind turbines as part of Black law. Andy Wightman, a well-known land campaigner and author of the book 'The Poor Had No Lawyers' in which the Commonty is mentioned first brought this opportunity to the attention of the Trust. It was only after several years of investigation and planning that ownership was officially granted.
The Trust's role now is to make this asset a profitable project that will benefit both the sustainability of the Organisation and the town in the longer term. The site is rough moorland of mainly heather with some evergreen coppice in the north of the land. Following a tendering process funded through a CARES grant (Community and Renewable Energy Scheme) we have completed an initial stage pre-feasibility study to establish whether it would be possible to develop a ground mounted Solar PV installation. The early indications are that this could be a viable project for the site however we have vital financial modeling to complete to gain a clearer picture.
This is a very exciting pioneering project as it would be the first of its size in Scotland. There are many stages and break points to this project so we are working alongside expert consultants to guide our decisions. Watch this space for further updates.

TAMPA — Andy Pettitte has made a lot of hitters look foolish during his career, but Scott Hairston isn't one of them.
The Mets' outfielder has faced Pettitte a dozen times in his career, and although Hairston struck out three of them, he hit .333 with a pair of doubles, a homer and two RBIs.
Yesterday, Hairston got another shot at the recently unretired Yankees lefty and was impressed.
"He looked pretty sharp to me," Hairston said after he popped out to shortstop during Pettitte's scoreless inning in the Yankees' 8-3 win over the Mets at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
Hairston said Pettitte threw him a fastball and a slider, and he didn't know he would be facing Pettitte until shortly before the at-bat.
"It was kind of unusual to see him come in to start the sixth inning of a game," Hairston said. "You don't expect that from a guy who has been around so long and done what he's done. I heard guys talking about him getting in there the inning before, but until then, I had no idea."
Like many others in New York, Hairston will be watching to see how Pettitte's comeback goes.
"I'm sure everyone is curious to see how he does," said Hairston, who faced Pettitte in 2004, 2007 and 2009.
"But he's a veteran and the little I saw of him here, he still had the same control of his pitches," Hairston said. "I'm sure he loves the game as much as anybody else. He's clearly put in a lot of work to get to this point already."

The public got a chance Monday to comment on Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's $200 million plan to reduce health care costs for people purchasing insurance through the private marketplace.
Walker is pushing the idea, along with a plan to bolster rural economic development, as part of what he calls an "ambitious agenda" as he faces re-election in the fall. There's little time for the Legislature to act, however. The Assembly hopes to finish its work for the year next week, while the Senate is expected to meet only on Feb. 20 and one day in March.
The Legislature's budget-writing Joint Finance Committee was taking public testimony on both measures Monday before a planned vote Tuesday to make them available for the Senate and Assembly.
One bill Walker wants is part of a package he put forward designed to stabilize the state's private health insurance market. Walker argues his proposals, including a state protection for people with pre-existing conditions, are needed before Washington has failed to act on passing a replacement for the Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare."
The bill up Monday would authorize the state to seek a federal waiver to offer a reinsurance program designed to reduce claims costs for insurers selling plans on the private marketplace. About 200,000 people in Wisconsin buy insurance through the private marketplace created under the federal law. If reinsurance were in place, it's estimated that about 9,600 more people would buy insurance the first year and more than 22,000 the second.
Basically, reinsurance sets up a pool of money for the government to cover the cost of insurers' most expensive cases, paying a portion of the costliest claims. The idea has had bipartisan support. If the federal waiver is granted, Wisconsin would join Minnesota, Oregon, Hawaii and Alaska in being authorized to offer reinsurance.
Walker estimated his plan would cost $200 million, with the state picking up $50 million and the federal government paying the rest. The state's share would come from savings from the Medicaid program.
Walker said he expected the program to result in lower rate increases in 2019 and stabilize a market that recently lost several larger insurers including UnitedHealth and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. The state insurance office estimated that premium rates will increase an average of 36 percent this year.
Because of the loss of insurers, this year more than 75,000 people in Wisconsin had to change insurance companies and many of them were limited to one or two choices.
Another measure before the committee Monday that Walker is pushing would spend $50 million a year on rural economic development projects designed to stimulate private investment, improve productivity and fill open jobs in rural parts of the state.
Eligible projects would have to be in counties with a population density of less than 155 people per square mile. Fifty-six of the state's 72 counties would meet that criteria.

We did, in fact, return from Origins. I enjoyed the Author panels I attended, though I only ended up attending one per day. While I was jazzed to actually try out the author track, I was still primarily there on vacation, to play board games.
In the end, I attended:
Edit Yourself
I love editing possibly too much. I can't help it. I also like weeding my garden, which has certain similarities. And I am one of those odd readers who get distracted by bad punctuation / grammar. But I am, admittedly, weird. It's like an allergy. I can't help that either.
The focus here was pre-editing before you send it to a real editor, which is a helpful skill no matter how much experience you have — the more you can smooth things out beforehand, the more time editors have to dig into more complicated topics, right? Saying "ahh, they'll fix it in post" is true, to a point, but it is in everyone's best interest to put the work in.
Some good tips, including "read aloud" — which I'd heard before, but usually wimp out on — and not being tempted to pile on descriptions just because you know what things/characters look like in your head.
The latter was oddly gratifying, because I've always felt I was alone in that. My view is, "I don't care whether your mental image is exactly the same as mine, as long as you have a mental image to go on." If I have evoked something for you, and it isn't so out of step with the tone of the scene that it breaks the scene for you, great. I do not care how wide you think my characters' jaws are, or the exact tilt of their eyebrows. As far as I'm concerned, radio is not the only theater of the mind, and I like it that way.
I do hope you don't whitewash everyone in my cast, but y'know, that's partly on you and partly on me. Otherwise, mentally cast however you want. That's not what's important in the story.
We're off track now. Editing. Yes. Do it.
Self Promotion Sells Books
Why yes, yes it does. Everybody can go home now.
Okay, okay, so this panel drilled down into various factors, including an author website, social media, and most importantly, not being a dick on social media.
I asked my husband to come with me to this panel, because I would literally rather go to the dentist than promote myself, and I figured he'd do a better job of lovingly nudging me to do these things if he heard the same talk. This is not the most professional move ever, but this is the reality of my life.
In other news, I will probably eventually drag myself to Twitter. ghhhhhhhghghghrrrrglll.
Finding Work as an Editor
Not for you, Grasshopper, not for you.
As previously noted, I love the editing process possibly more than writing itself. And it isn't about nitpicking or finding errors, really, it's about getting into the guts of what makes a story work and trying to make it work better. I think the process has a bad reputation, and caring about grammar and punctuation and things has a bad reputation too. Musicians aren't called unflattering names if they try to play without wrong notes, but if I care where that comma goes, I'm a jerk. Fair?
Anyway, getting into plot structure or continuity or whatever, for me, is like a gearhead getting elbow-deep into an engine. It's about understanding how it all works and making it work better. Plot structure is my weak point, and so I try to learn more about how to make it better, and try to bring that out in edits. I love learning about it, even if that means I don't have it all down pat.
However, due to several factors, I have no real chance of beta-reading or editing for anybody else. Like any other job-hunting, you need experience to get experience, and failing that, the right degree. "Trust me, I studied genetics and viruses but I'm just really good at grammar and love editing" holds no water with anyone, and rightfully so. I can check whether your science is reasonable, buuuuut I work in fantasy, where we all prefer to forget that winged dragons generally have six limbs and that isn't a thing that happens in vertebrates really.
I don't mean to whine, though. It was a very informational and interesting panel. I'm fascinated by how the field works and what people do in it. There was great information, down to the level of contracts and taxes, as well as approaches to editing (ex. realize what the author is trying to do, not what you'd do in that situation).
So those were the panels I attended. Recommended highly. I hope to see more next year.
Also related to writing: Bought two medieval recipe books from MedievalCookery.com, which I have already used as an idea source. I'm not one to cook these things in real life, but I try not to fall into the "all stew and ale, all the time" trap in my writing. (I am haunted by the fact that refrigeration does not exist. Do not count how many times the characters go grocery shopping in Book 2. That way lies madness.)
I also attended a roleplaying session at Origins for the first time, a demo session of Ryuutama. Unfortunately, this session was right around dinnertime, and I got punchy and laughed for several minutes at the spell list for no good reason (except that it contains spells like "create 1 cubic meter of dead leaves" and that's too cute to stand). Otherwise it was quite fun. I'm looking forward to putting together a hybrid in-person/play-by-email game of Ryuutama.
I suppose I sort of played one of the Dread games too, in a friend's beta testing round.
How's that for range?
By and large, though, I tend to spend most of my time either faffing about the vendor room or in the board room. Board games tried out this time:
Survive: Escape from Atlantis – my husband played this growing up; it was new to me.
Takenoko – my favorite of this batch.
Gloom – I'd wanted to try Gloom in Space, but they didn't have it; next time. This is the only one of these that I'd played before.
Kill Doctor Lucky – second favorite of this batch. SPITE POINTS. Just saying "spite points" makes me snicker.
Cottage Garden – ooh look, this technically isn't out yet! Aren't we fancy. Tetris + bingo, kind of. I'd recommend it.
The Networks – we didn't have time to fully get into this one.
Tsuro – thanks to the CABS folks, who recommended this when we came up like "we are too tired to think and have 1 hour before our next thing, whaddya got".
Veggie Garden – By Quick Simple Fun, an apt description as well.
Rampage / Terror in Meeple City – it's kind of astonishing how bad I am at this game.
On a more personal note, it's interesting to compare this experience to past experiences through the lens of working on treating my social anxiety. It's still easier for me to be an attendee than an exhibitor, but this was a more chill experience than I think I've ever had at a con. Even compared to other Origins-es. Of no particular interest, just noting something.
