AWT News Update: January 25, 2016/
The Broncos and Panthers are going to the Super Bowl, but that's not the news for today. Apple fans will like to know that:
- The second developer betas of OS X El Capitan 10.11.4, watchOS 2.2, tvOS 9.2 and iOS 9.3 were released today
- Apple's 1Q 2016 earnings call is tomorrow. Expect a record quarter, but things won't probably look as bright for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016
- Apple gets support from an unexpected source
- The Truth Is Out There™ and here's where to get it on your Apple devices.
Many thanks to this week's sponsor, younity, a free cross-platform cloud solution for sharing files, music, video, and more!
The text version of this podcast is below, and video (complete with cats!) can be seen here.
Text Version
Hi, I'm Steve Sande from Apple World Today, and this is the AWT News Update for January 25, 2016. Our sponsor this week is younity, a powerful cross-platform personal cloud solution for Mac, PC and iOS. Check it out on the AWT website today, or click the link found in today's show notes.
Apple today released second beta versions for OS X El Capitan 10.11.4, watchOS 2.2, tvOS 9.2 and iOS 9.3 to developers. Some of the changes included in the second betas are interesting to say the least. First, OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 beta 2 now allows Live Photos taken on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus to be viewed and shared on the Mac through iMessage using the Messages app. In the Notes app, individual notes can be secured with a single secure password, similar to the function available with iOS 9.3. tvOS 9.1.1, released to everyone earlier today, has added a Podcasts app. The new beta adds Bluetooth keyboard support and app folders. watchOS 2.2 beta 2 has enhanced the Maps application on the Apple Watch, adding a new screen of actions and a Nearby search powered by Yelp. Apple Watch will be able to instantly navigate to home and work addresses, and find local businesses organized by type. And finally, iOS 9.3 beta 2 has a new user interface for the Night Shift functionality that changes the display color temperature after sundown to make it easier for users to fall asleep. The beta also includes 3D Touch shortcuts for the Settings app, including one click access to battery, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and wallpaper options.
Tuesday afternoon we'll have our liveblog of Apple's first fiscal quarter 2016 earnings call, and we'd love to have you join us. The liveblog begins at 1:45 PM PT/4:45 PM ET on Apple World Today, and we'll be offering our take on the news from Apple as well as answers provided by Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Luca Maestri to analyst questions during the call. With that in mind, Fortune's Philip Elmer-DeWitt today noted that Apple will probably report the most profitable quarter in the history of capitalism, but that analysts are looking at the guidance for the second fiscal quarter ending March 30, 2016. That guidance is expected to show the first down quarter ever for the iPhone, which is likely to cause even more investors to shy away from the company's stock, which is already taking a beating.
We've mentioned numerous times that Apple is being investigated by the European Commission for taking advantage of favorable tax laws in Ireland, and the company now has the support of the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. Johnson wrote an article in defense of Apple's tax dealings in Ireland, saying that the company is just following the rules of tax systems across the European Union to its advantage. He also noted that the European Commission should not be trying to fix something that the Irish government intended to have happen, mainly that the lower tax rates would attract Apple facilities and jobs to its country.
If you want to watch the new rebooted six-episode season of The X-Files, you don't need to have a cable subscription. Using the Fox Now app on your iOS device and using AirPlay to move the video and sounds to your HDTV, you can watch the episodes for free the day after they are aired. However, the first episode is commercial-free while the others will be filled with commercials that you'll need to sit through. For $14.99, you can own the short series forever from iTunes in HD and commercial-free.
I'll be back tomorrow with another edition of the AWT News Update.

Each of the four Marian antiphons has a season assigned to it during the liturgical year. Traditional Latin Masses usually end with the appropriate Marian antiphon for the season. In the Divine Office, the Marian antiphon of the season is sung after Vespers and Compline.
Roughly stated, the dates of each Marian antiphon are:
- Alma Redemptoris Mater (Advent through February 2)
- Ave Regina Caelorum (February 3 until the Easter Vigil)
- Regina Coeli (Easter until the Saturday after Pentecost Sunday)
- Salve Regina (Trinity Sunday --which is the Sunday after Pentecost Sunday) until the Saturday before Advent)
You can find the chant for the Marian antiphons in the Liber Usualis. Buying a copy of the Liber can be expensive, around $200. But the good news is that you can download a PDF for free from The Church Music Association of America website.
This post has the the music and links to music videos for each of the antiphons.
Latin and English Words to the Antiphons
Alma Redemptoris Mater, quae pervia caeli porta manes et stella maris, succurre cadenti, surgere qui curat, populo: tu quae genuisti, natura mirante, tuum sanctum genitorem, Virgo prius, ac posterius, Gabrielis ab ore sumens illud ave, peccatorum miserere.
Holy mother of our Redeemer, thou gate leading to heaven and star of the sea; help the falling people who seek to rise, thou who, all nature wondering, didst give birth to thy holy Creator. Virgin always, hearing the greeting from Gabriel's lips, take pity on sinners.
Ave Regina Caelorum, ave domina angelorum: salve radix, salve porta, ex qua mundo lux est orta: Gaude Virgo, gloriosa, super omnes speciosa, vale o valde decora, et pro nobis Christum exora.
Hail, queen of heaven, hail lady of the angels. Hail, root, hail the door through which the Light of the world is risen. Rejoice, glorious Virgin, beautiful above all. Hail, O very fair one, and plead for us to Christ.
Regina Caeli, laetare, alleluia; quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia; resurrexit sicut dixit, alleluia; ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.
Queen of heaven, rejoice, alleluia; for He whom thou was chosen to bear, alleluia; has risen as He said, alleluia; pray for us to God, alleluia.
Salve Regina, mater misericordiae, vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra salve. Ad te clamamus, exules filii Evae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes, in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, advocate nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos, ad nos converte. Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O Clemens, o pia, o dulcis virgo Maria.
Hail holy queen, mother of mercy, hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us. And after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, o loving, o sweet Virgin Mary.
Some interesting additional details are in this post.
And this.

On what planet are Councilmen Rafi Manoukian and Frank Quintero living?
Manoukian nominates Aram Kazazian to a position on the Glendale Water & Power Commission and Quintero casts a favorable vote.
Thank goodness that City Council members Laura Friedman, Dave Weaver and Ara Najarian had their heads screwed on straight and voted against this ridiculous nomination ("Council nixes commission candidate," June 1).
This is the same Kazazian who built the huge, completely illegal "El Tovar" house while he was a member of the city's Board of Zoning Adjustments. Get it? Zoning Adjustments!

I felt very glad today while looking at all the comments I have received from my brothers and didi. Much of my life experiences would not have been the same without them being a part of it. It is very important for me to know what they feel about what I have to say about those good old days as it is part of their life too, us being so inextricably linked together. I am glad that they like my blog. Thanks folks.
My paternal grandparents, Mr Bijon Sengupta and Mrs Bina Sengupta had three children the children had two children each thus they had six grandchildren and I am one of them.There is a common strain among all of us, the grandchildren of MrBS and Mrs BS, at least I think so, we can all express ourselves quite well in writing! my grandfather was an MA in English and a journalist by profession, so ofcourse he could write but my grandmom was also a prolific writer, she maintained a diary for more than twenty years and recorded the day to day events of her life in the minutest detail. Even now when there is a difference of opinion in the family regarding an ancient fact we quickly refer to Amma's diary of that year and find out the truth. Things like whether there was 'chingri machher malai kari' (steamed prawn delicacy) in the menu of my 'annoprashaon' ( ceremony when the child first eats solids) can be found out in a jiffy from her accounts. I am sure that if she were alive she would try her hand at blogging! Amongst my cousins the two eldest ones are the most gifted. Didi excels in English writing , is a master of grammer and can never get a spelling wrong in any language, I have tried to give her tough Hindi words and although she has never studied the language she can spell 'kinkartavyavimudh' without blinking even once! Her handwriting is beautiful and her brother and I copied it all over lives and our writing is now just copied versions of hers (though not as good). Dada is highly confident and expressive and he was the first among us to start a blog and frankly it was so high brow and subtle with lots of poetry and lyrics of such philosophical songs that much of it was beyond my understanding. There are three of us in the same age group a sister who is a journalist whose style is easy and direct, myself with my ramblings and a brother who is the most sensitive of the lot and had written a story about a dog in his childhood which had brought tears to my eyes and in his letters to me over the years he has expressed himself beautifully. The youngest is my brother who can bring humour into the most staid and serious matter. He is the complete entertainer like a masala bollywood film that he so likes writing about. On the whole after a brief survey of the cousin brigade I am still convinced that the writing bug that existed in both Mr and Mrs B Sengupta has found its way into all of us and binds us together in a strange and wonderful way.

I have an olympus camera. It's a stylus 850SW. Apparently its supposed to be drop proof but it took a bad fall I guess and the side part that plugs into the computer is now having problems opening.

Is there anyway I have a warranty on this camera. I paid so much for it and I really don't want to buy another one. What do I do?!
A "little over a year ago" means no warranty. Besides, the warranty wouldn't cover damage due to dropping the camera. If the camera still works, you can use a card reader to download your pictures and eliminate the need for "the side part that plugs ... Olympus Stylus 850SW Digital Camera

Tuesday is for Trivia. And if you disagree, do not tell Jayson Stark.
Every Tuesday during the baseball season, Stark goes on Mike and Mike in the Morning and asks a multiple-answer baseball trivia question. Something to the tune of "there are only 5 active players who have done BLANK with BLANK".
In case you miss them, I'll do my best to pull through for you guys, all season long.
Here's what he offered up this morning:
Albert Pujols is one of 4 active players who have hit .300 in 10+ seasons (including DL). Name the other 3!

How did you celebrate International Women's Day?
By working on another novel centered on the forces of nature that were 19th century African-American women.
Was there a woman who helped you get where you are today?
The women who helped me were my mom, aunts, teachers, church ladies, employers, editors, agents.
What are your thoughts on the role of the media in shaping young female minds? As a creator, how do you combat some of these reductive and negative stereotypes that can lead to low self-esteem?
I combat them by creating women who look like me. That can go a long way in raising the self-esteem of young women of colour whose beauty is not considered "standard" by western society. Being able to see themselves in a positive light and knowing women like themselves have made remarkable contributions helps as well.
Tell us about your newest book.
Newest book – Breathless. It's about a 19th century young woman who has no desire to marry. All she wants out of life is to open her own accounting business.
Do you share any traits with any of your characters? Are there any of your characters that you admire or deplore?
I do share some traits. My physician heroine from Vivid has trouble getting from place to place. I used to get lost a lot before GPS. Another heroine, Kate Wildhorse from Topaz, snores. Me! I deplore the slavecatcher, Shoe, from Indigo. Pleased with the unique way I brought him down though.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
My advice to my younger self: don't change anything and keep reading
What book do you go back to again and again for inspiration?
A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings by Coleman Barks
What would you say to a young woman questioning her worth, value, or place in the world?
To young women I say: surround yourself with good friends – friends who have goals and dreams. Read. Everything. Especially books that feature strong women – be it sci-fi, fantasy or romance. When you read – you grow.
In the spirit of the ever popular Instagram hashtag #WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday) – who's your #1 woman crush right now? And why?
#WCW. Michelle Obama and Detroit quilter April Shipp. Both women are amazing.
Ms. Jenkins is a USA TODAY bestselling author and the nation's premier writer of African – American historical romance fiction. She specializes in 19th century African American life and has over thirty published novels to date.
She has received numerous awards, including: five Waldenbooks/Borders Group Best Sellers Awards; two Career Achievement Awards and a Pioneer Award from Romantic Times Magazine; a Golden Pen Award from the Black Writer's Guild, and in 1999 was named one of the Top Fifty Favorite African-American writers of the 20th Century by AABLC, the nation's largest on-line African-American book club.

Last year MISD secondary librarians studied the book Invent to Learn: Making, Tinkering and Engineering in the Classroom with an eye towards implementing some maker space activities. The main thing we learned during this study was that makerspaces are not to be a free for all, create what you want type of space. The best use of a maker space is to give students a problem to solve or some parameters to follow when creating with the supplies. This makes the area a purposeful extension of learning and critical thinking that is a powerful motivator for kids.
This week on the TCEA blog there was a great article about how to start a makerspace that is no tech, low tech or high tech. Take a look and think about how you could incorporate some activities that will increase motivation, engagement, critical thinking and problem solving into your library program.

It was even cleaner by the end of the day, because I moved piles of work that must be tackled on Monday into the office of my successor, who had the day off (he's not moving into the office I'm vacating, which doesn't make sense because it holds all the files of my now former boss and he's going to be constantly walking back and forth between offices to access them. Perhaps eventually common sense will prevail and he will - NAH. He's a nob.)
Now officially retired, and I am GLAD because we are being zonked with blizzard-like conditions here. It's a true nor'easter blowing in over Lake Michigan from Canada. It started snowing last evening and it is going to snow all day today and into tomorrow. In this area we may get between 6 to 9 inches, but with lake effect snow in play, it's anybody's guess, really. We could get over a foot. Here's what my backyard looked like about 10 this morning:
It's snowing hard -- you can actually see it falling in contrast against the red fencing, and you can see the snow blowing off the roof of my neighbor's garages! Don't want to get a face-full of this stuff! It's fine tiny flakes, gritty almost, and the wind is gusting upwards of 30 mph. The temperatures are plunging downward and areas to the southeast of Milwaukee County are under full blizzard warnings until noon tomorrow! I have some tall drifts here and there and bare spots here and there and it's getting worse even as I sit and type this -- wow, just saw a white-out in my backyard!
About 9:15 this morning I opened up my front door to get a look at the street view and got the crap scared out of me - here was this big young guy standing on my front stoop about to pound on the storm door. Fortunately, he looked as taken aback as I did. He called me ma'am. Now I know I must look like a blowsy old broad. Sigh.
Turns out he and a buddy run a business in the area and they were going around the neighborhood offering to snow blow out driveways and sidewalks. They did my front porch, front walk and sidewalk for $15 (I passed on the driveway, not needing it to be fully cleared), and it looked good. Forty-five minutes later those guys are way down the block now, getting plenty of work (good for them - very enterprising and SMART to be going around on such a day), and my sidewalk is already drifting over and looks like it was hardly touched!
|This was cleared 45 minutes ago, believe it or not! My front sidewalk, walk from the public sidewalk up to my porch.
As I'm sitting here typing, the winds are whipping up even more. SO glad I won't be attempting the half mile walk to the bus stop tomorrow morning to get to work! I won't ever have to do that walk again, against my will! AAAAHHHHHHHHH, THIS IS FABULOUS!
The alarm part of my clock radio was turned OFF when I got home from my celebration with friends on Friday night. Yesterday I got up around my same time (5:40 a.m.) without alarm -- I just woke up like I'm on a computer program or something, as I had to go for a blood draw and I like to get that done as early as possible in the day because it takes forever to go back and forth by bus. I left the house yesterday at 7:08 a.m. and was back home about 9:54 a.m., supplies in hand. When I caught the 76th Street bus going south heading home, I jumped off at my Pick 'n Save and did my grocery shopping, along with about 500 other people! Stocked up on supplies to sit out the storm -- wine being my number one priority, as I have plenty of food stashed already, and a new box of hazelnuts for my squirrels already in stock (I buy in bulk, 25 pounds at a time). That was it for me for the day. Other than tossing lots of nuts out to the squirrels yesterday -- they were visiting more than usual, probably sensing as they do that a storm was coming and they would have to "bulk up" for the next few days until they can easily get out of their nests to navigate once again -- I did not do much of anything. It was heavenly! Today I slept in -- I did not get up until 7:04 a.m.!
|View to the southeast from my patio door.
Later on I'm going to make some kind of chicken breast dish. I picked up a sweet onion and a green pepper yesterday at the Pick 'n Save and defrosted a chicken breast from my stash (you would be amazed at how much food my tall but skinny counter-depth euro-style fridge/freezer at the bottom holds - WAY more than the larger "standard" size with freezer on top I used to have at the former Maison Newton). I have no idea what it's going to turn out to be yet, I'm just going to experiment and hope I don't poison myself.
Goodbye, 2014 Christmas:
I always take the tree down on Super Bowl Sunday. It's sad this year because WE WERE SO FRICKING CLOSE, DAMN IT ALL! At least Aaron Rodgers won his second Most Valuable Player award -- well deserved! Playing on one leg and taking the team on his BACK (and one leg) ALL THE WAY TO THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP - writers in Hollywood can't even come up with real life stuff like this (which doesn't say much for their imaginations, does it???) GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE THE GREATEST TEAM THAT EVER WAS OR EVER WILL BE. I mean - first we had that traitor Farve whom I will hate until the day I die for what he did, going to play for the Vikings - but he was great until it went to his head - he won two MVP awards, and now Rodgers! THE LEGEND OF GREEN BY LIVES ON.... (imagine echo sound in that voice of the dude who does the NFL Films voice-overs...) Let us all fervently pray that Rodgers wins a THIRD MVP award. Ha, Farve, take that, you filthy traitor.
Before I wrap this post up, squirrels were here at the crack of dawn, and they were waiting impatiently for me on the steps leading to the patio as I was "late" this morning. There they were, pacing back and forth, leaving paw prints in the snow. When I opened up the blinds they looked up (four of them) and motioned in squirrel sign language WELL, ABOUT TIME!
I immediately tossed out some hazelnuts but the squirrels couldn't find them in the snow. So I pulled out the broom and while the squirrels watched from their perches on top of the fence and garage roof I swept off the steps and carefully tossed more nuts down. They were gone in a flash.
It didn't take long for the blowing snow to begin covering up the nuts that I kept supplementing for the intrepid squirrels who managed to make the trip to my backyard:
The squirrels disappeared about 8:30 a.m. Given the present conditions, I don't expect to see them until later tomorrow morning, after the worst of this is over. Which means I'll have to get out and shovel the steps off and make a couple of paths for the squirrels to come from the fence lines and the arborvitae to the patio steps. LOL! I'm such a "mommy!"

AT&T Exploits Prison Labor
What do the AT&T subcontractors pay prisoners for telephone work? Try $2 per day. For that, the prisoners -- essentially slave laborers -- have to call area businesses, identify themselves as AT&T representatives and try to sell AT&T products and services. The prison systems in Colorado, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, New Jersey and Florida sell the right to exploit prisoners to a firm called Unibase, which in turn sells the service to AT&T.

Large and uniform fruits with very attractive appearance and shiny red color, a conical and long shape, characterized by compact flesh and satisfying organoleptic properties, as well as long shelf life.
Guarantee of very abundant crops, beautiful, very big fruits, high productivity, good merchantability properties of fruits. This cultivar is resistant to root system diseases and mildew.
An energetic plant, may demand a bit more space than Albion (lush growth) with a similar production structure. The fruits are very tasty, sweet and slightly bigger than fruits of Albion cultivar, but slightly less firm.

Sometimes taking music seriously is good. But making an impact on music while having a great sense of humor about the industry is even better. Take Dillon Francis for example. Vegas Seven had a hilarious chat with the Los Angeles DJ/producer, cited as one of the pioneers of the moombahton movement, before his March 1 gig at Surrender.
You've successfully fooled members of the media uneducated in electronic music by using a pic of Tiësto as your press shot. Have you gotten any angry emails from his camp?
Tiësto's camp actually loves it. I know he thinks it's funny.
How did that start?
We were doing a quick interview, and I told my manager to send in a picture. I picked out a whole bunch of pictures: There was one that was really me, one of Sander van Doorn and, of course, Avicii. But he chose the Tiësto one, and surprisingly they printed it. [Laughs.]
You don't kiss asses or seem to care about what "superstar DJs" think of you. Has that helped or hurt your career?
I don't know. It's too early to tell if it has or hasn't. I feel like it's just in the middle. People enjoy it because a lot of people in dance music are so stale with how they are. I just don't want to be a person that's always going to be like, "Oh, my God, the sun is so bright! And it's going to set so beautifully tomorrow! I love all of you!"—that's not me. I don't want to say that to people. I don't want to give people false hope about the world having a nice sunset [laughs]. I just like to be real and fuck around with people. It's the same purpose that the people at South Park have, making fun of pop culture.
It's funny that you mention South Park, because when trying to find good trap music—a genre you sometimes play—I feel like I'm in that episode where everything sounds like crap. Am I just getting old, or is a lot of it actually crap?
I think a lot of it is actually crap. There's just so much music in that category, because it's such an Internet phenomenon that, of course, a lot of it is bad. There are only certain people that are doing very, very good tracks like Flosstradamus and Baauer.
Your "Masta Blasta" video made me laugh so hard I almost peed a little. Any word on what Avicii thought about the end where the elderly lady angrily asks when you would be playing "Le7els"?
I never got to ask him when I met him. He doesn't hate me, I found out. I thought he did—and I think he did at the beginning. I think he definitely got pissed off about the ending. I loved it. That's my grandmother who's in it, too!
Speaking of music videos, tell me more about making pottery with 12th Planet, Ghost–style, a la Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze for a new vid.
Oh, my God. That video is going to be so goddamn funny. It was the hardest thing to shoot. It was so awkward because we had to put our hands between each other's fingers and we're basically making a dick with clay, because none of us know how to make pottery. John [from 12th Planet] decided to make a dick before we started, and then we started shooting a scene and put our hands on this dick-like thing and I just couldn't handle it. It's going to be on the outtakes. John was fucking hilarious, so I'm so glad that he did it. It's going to be pretty amazing. It was a nice afternoon thing to do. We wanna start doing this more often. Just two men making pottery.
Maybe you can sell your handiwork on your website: custom-made Dillon Francis phalluses.
Exactly! That will be my specialty.
I recently interviewed your "dad" Wes Pentz, a.k.a. Diplo. If you have to come up with a Twitter campaign along the lines of his "#ExpressYourself," what do you think you could get your fans to do?
Well, I didn't really try to start one, but people started sending me pictures with lampshades on their head. People started getting really pissed off and saying "Dude, stop trying to copy Diplo with people sending you lampshades instead of girls expressing themselves." I just stopped because I'm not trying to do that. If I could, I feel like I could get away with something along the lines of girls sending provocative pictures, like girls dressed up as cats. I feel like that's the only thing I could get away with and people would be like "Oh, that's just Dillon, getting girls to send pictures as cats."
Maybe this article could start a new viral campaign before your gig—or girls will come to the club dressed as cats!
Besides dressing as cats, got any tips for Las Vegas bottle rats trying to finagle their way close to you in the booth?
No! Tell them to just get the fuck away from me! [Laughs] Oh, my God, those girls are the worst. I don't understand. OK, I had three people with me, it was my first day of the residency, and somehow six girls are back there just dancing around and I have no idea who any of them are. They were probably just drinking all the bottles.
I heard you had a strict childhood and had to study a lot. So did Hooked on Phonics work for you?
No. I had Hooked on Phonics and I also went to Kumon Math. Kumon helps you do your homework and then you also get homework from them on top of your other homework. It's the worst place ever and I didn't learn anything. I'm still horrible at math. I don't suggest anyone go to Kumon.
After trying to help you with academics when you were younger, what does your family think of your chosen career?
They love it now. At first they were hesitant on the decision to let me do it but then, they did. Now I'm here and they're very happy. I've brought them to two shows so far, they were so happy about it.
You've changed things up a bit—you're blond! Are you having more fun?
Yes, I'm having more fun as a blond.
If you could give Skrillex a new hairstyle, what would do?
I really want to see what he would look like with short hair. I'd probably cut off all of his hair. I want to shave his head and start anew.
If you had an endless budget and the best production crew ever, what would the Dillon Francis Experience look like? Or would you go minimal and just duct tape some stuff together from Spencer's Gifts?
I would try to get as many bouncy balls as possible, not the balloon ones that you bounce around, but the [small] ones that hurt. At the climax of the show there would be so many that just fall down on everybody—they would get kind of hurt, but then they would just all fall over. There would be so many balls in comparison to people that no one could stand anymore and they would just be sitting down for the rest of the show on a floor of bouncy balls. I would then slowly end my career and go downhill with the worst production ever. No lights, either. It would be dark onstage and I'm just playing music and I would get on the mic with a really deep voice like, "This is a new song." There's no production, but we would promote it like it had the most production ever. We'd put all of the money into the fliering.
So you would have 3-D holographic fliers that look so rad … but then people show up and they're like "WTF?!"
My cat could be a Meowingtons impersonator—she looks like Deadmau5's cat. Can you put her on the guest list?
Definitely. Cats are always welcome on the guest list.

I know there's a decent amount of discussion over this on the hotline, but I just want to see if anyone else has any ideas. I'm getting a mixer (likely a KitchenAid) and can't decide what model would be best. The price differential between a pro lift-bowl really isn't that different from the normal tilt-head, and I've heard that the pros are better for bread doughs. I definitely will be using it for bread, but not exclusively. Are there any of the newer models I should actively avoid for quality issues? What's your preferred model?
It might be worth it to get a costco membership. They have store discounts for KA mixers, Also, the last time I looked into it...a few years ago, gears where an issue for the KA mixers.
They had a special model that was built for CostCo that used Metal Gears instead of nylon gears. So...use that as some more keyword in your searching.
The KA mixers are not "standard" mixes that are sold at other stores. So review your needs and its specifications carefully. It is made exclusively for Costco.
Also, make sure your existing or future purchases of accessories fit the model you're buying. When my MIL bought hers there to replace her old one had trouble.
If you make anything with a stiff dough, I would get the lift bowl. I wore out the indentations on the bottom of the bowl for the tilt head model so the bowl would spin when mixing biscotti dough. Of course, to be honest, it did take about 20 years and I gifted the mixer to someone who is still using it 5 years later.
It was a good excuse to get the pro style I really wanted.
I know it's difficult to anticipate, but it really depends on what you see yourself making and in what quantities. I have the KAM 6 qt and it does a good job on wetter/softer bread doughs up to about 3 1/2 lbs of dough; heavier doughs and greater amounts, forget it. Either ingredients don't get mixed, or the bowl dislodges.
It's fabulous for beating egg whites...as long as you are beating at least 3 or more. Two-layer cakes, just fine. Dough for 3-4 dozen cookies, sure; cookie dough for one person...no way; the ingredients just sit at the bottom of the bowl. So there is a sweet spot in terms of amounts of dough/batter it handles best.
Mine is probably about 5 yrs old now, and it is LOUD, easily 90dB.
If you really get into baking, or if your needs change, you may want to size up then. I use the DLX for my bread baking, and it's fabulous (and quiet), but its quirks make it more challenging to prep cakes, cookies, and meringues. So I enjoy both!
I have a tilt head model from back when they were indestructible- I made a bunch of cakes on a friend's crank style machine at one point, and was kind of annoyed that to take the bowl off I had to dip the beaters back into the batter; I usually clear them with the motor running slowly. Other than that, not much against either machine; I think the crank machine was a little better for scraping the bowl, but it's a slight problem on both.
I have just moved up from a 5 qt to 7 qt Pro Line Kitchenaid. My family has doubled in size (grandkids) so I am really happy that I don't have to mix and clean the workbowl twice but it is a huge adjustment from tilt to lift. I miss the convenience of the tilt bowl but definitely need the capacity. Think of it like a car:; nobody gets married and buys the minivan. If you are making single batches, the tilt bowl makes sense. If you find it is under performing for your needs then sell it quickly, and trade up to a larger model before you wreck the motor!
I have the Artisan (tilt head) and have had it for maybe 7-10 years. I more often use my hand mixers. It took me this long to notice that when creaming with the paddle, the butter rides up the sides and doesn't automatically get lifted by the paddle, I have to do that manually! It never bothered me or I never noticed it before, but I was making a compound butter this time--no sugar to fluff up the butter--and I had to "lift" the butter with a spatula to get the ingredients to incorporate.
Infrequently, the bowl can get stuck on the base due to the "planetary motion" (happened to me only once) and you have to put it on the floor and do an entire dance routine to unstick it... But this doesn't occur often.
Once I bought the flex edge paddle tasks like that were much easier.
I tried one of those paddles with the rubber edges and found it pretty useless for anything at all stiff, like creaming butter- it tended to just push it around the edge and out the top, and since it wasn't actually cutting through the material it didn't mix as well. It might be helpful for lighter batters, but they really don't need much help anyway.

Why is it that Coral Gables, South Miami and Coconut Grove have next to no bus shelters? Take a drive down Sunset Road, Old Cutler or Main Highway from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m., and you will see the wonderful people who clean our houses, care for our elderly or our children, waiting for buses. They stand exhausted after long days on their feet, unprotected from sun or rain.
What a meaningful gift abundant bus shelters would make.

I don't have any irl friends. This isn't hyperbole. My mom's the only person I feel any sort of connection to and even that's mixed with antagonism.It's like, I have people that I interact with on a daily basis and I can't meet them with anything more than ambivalence, at best. And this is every. Single. Da. For the past three years. It gets to you. I don't even feel like I can relate to or engage with people in a normal way anymore. Like, I can't read them.

The story is about a charming, crude but troubled boy meets a reserved, shy, naive...yet sweet, smart girl/wallflower and managed to find a connection in each other. As the film progresses, it was shown that they enjoy hanging out together, helping and complementing each other.
Sutter, the lead guy, plagued by alcoholism and family issues, must learn to confront his fears and face who he really is and learn what loving someone really means. Aimee, the lead girl, need to learn to stand up for herself against her controlling mother who might be potentially ruining her college future because she's responsible for partially paying the bills. The film may seem to be an average love story, but it carries a genuine believability to it.
The film takes the first-love romance seriously but never falls to become the typical weepy Asian melodramas that Koreans are so fond of making. The two lead actors are great on screen, deliver strong convincing performance to let us believe that the love chemistry between them is real and managed keep the audience engaged throughout the film. There are some subtle humor throughout the film as well.
What a deeply affecting film this is. It's the best coming-of-age romantic drama comedy film of the year.
Rating: 9/10
"But the real challenge in my life, the real hardship, is me. It's always been me. As long as I can remember, I've never not been afraid. Afraid of failure. Of letting people down. Hurting people. Getting hurt. I thought if I kept my guard up and focused on other things, other people...If I couldn't even feel, well, then no harm would come to me. I screwed up. Not only did I shut out the pain, I shut out everything. The good and the bad. Until there was nothing. It's fine to just "live in the now". But the best part about "now" is there's another one tomorrow. And I'm gonna start making them count"

Garden Report, 2014-06-26
We're starting to get good canopy coverage in the keyholes, mostly watering from the center, the leaf crops (kale and chard) are surprisingly sweet–the best luck we've had with them. Snowpeas are ripening, purple bush beans are blooming, eggplant is doing what it's supposed to do, and the tomatoes are dense, healthy, and not too tall, with blossoms–now to get them to set. Right now it's just a pretty good garden, with the roots firmly established and drilling down. I won't know how successful my keyhole construction is until July/August, when the rain more or less stops.
I finally watched Deb Tolman's video and learned that many of the sites I used as reference are a bit sloppy or simplistic–I made a layer of carbon, a layer of nitrogen (3:1) and a layer of dirt (fairly deep). There should have been multiple alternating layers of each–at least two. My guess is the plants with deep roots like the tomatoes will dig down and go nuts. The others will get less fertilizer, some from the dirt, most from the compost bin. At the end of the year, I'll likely dig out some soil and repeat a set of layers. I'll watch the video again first, take notes, and make sure I'm following a slightly more scientific model (although it's a model that makes a lot of intuitive sense).
In the front, the three zukes and, I think, a pumpkin are throwing their arms out, with the frontmost of the zukes (a yellow) ready to pick in a week or so and the back two successively less mature. In spite of soap spray, the caterpillars are still eating basil salad, although I've slowed them down (mixing a weak solution of dish soap and water)–I think the next round of basil will be in pots. Peppers (you can just see the top of a Gypsy lower center, left of the lilies) are, meh, a little slow, but I expect them to boom in the next few weeks. And the corn, well, we're not in the sun belt, it looks very healthy, but it's not much more than knee high. Perhaps in a month. I've given it some nitrogen snacks for encouragement (in spite of what Debby says, I'm sure they won't ruin the corn's appetite later this summer).
Thanks to my friend Steve who started me down the keyhole path and set the example with his own garden reports.

Here's Boeing's press release:
Boeing Conducts Inaugural Flight of First 787 Built in South Carolina
Dreamliner on track for mid-year delivery to Air India
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C., May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) today marked another 787 milestone as the first Dreamliner built in South Carolina completed its first flight. Piloted by Tim Berg and Randy Neville, the airplane successfully conducted a five-hour test flight. More than 5,000 Boeing South Carolina employees watched a live broadcast of the airplane as it took off from Charleston International Airport.
"This is a proud moment for our Boeing South Carolina team and for Boeing," said Jack Jones, vice president/general manager, Boeing South Carolina. "In April, we gathered on the flightline to watch this airplane roll out of final assembly. Today, we watched as this airplane successfully completed its first production flight - one step closer to delivering our first South Carolina-built 787 Dreamliner to our customer."
Today's production flight test profile tested the airplane's controls and systems in a series of scenarios designed to verify the airplane operates as designed. The tests occurred in all stages of flight beginning prior to taxi, through final landing and taxi.
During the flight, the crew checked the functionality of onboard systems at high and medium altitudes. They also checked backup and critical safety elements including cabin pressurization, avionics, and navigation and communications systems. In addition, they shut down and re-started each engine during flight.
"First flight of this South Carolina-built airplane is a significant achievement and our teammates did a great job working together to make this happen," said Berg. "The airplane performed exactly as we expected."
The airplane will be flown to Ft. Worth, Texas to be painted with Air India's livery before returning to Boeing South Carolina for a mid-2012 delivery.
Speaking of Air India, 787 and delivery...this soap opera couldn't get any weirder. It was reported (in the Indian press and picked up by the local US press) that the Aviation Minister, Ajit Singh, was not going to travel to the US for the delivery because it was being pushed back two weeks. Now today Air India says they will take delivery of the first 787 at the end of May and that Singh's cancellation was due to the on going Air India-pilots saga.
Meanwhile as Air India tries to sort out its mess here's a couple of articles of interest:

Air India to get its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner by May-end
While we're waiting for more 787 deliveries, here's some more pictures of the Blue Angels here at Long Island:

Rosemount grad injured in Afghanistan dies
Ben Kopp was born a fighter, but late last week he found a fight he couldn't win.
The 2006 Rosemount High School graduate died Saturday, just over a week after he was injured during fighting in Afghanistan.
Jill Stephenson, Ben's mother, announced her son's death in a message Saturday on a CaringBridge.org site she set up to allow people to track her son's condition.
Kopp, who was 21 years old, spent much of the last week in an induced coma in Washington, D.C.'s Walter Reed Medical Center as doctors tried to reduce swelling in his brain, the result of a gunshot wound he received July 10 while serving in Afghanistan.
Kopp received treatment immediately in the field, Stephenson said. But according to information she posted on the CaringBridge site a bullet had hit her son's secondary femoral artery. The loss of blood caused him to go into cardiac arrest on the operating table at a battalion surgical center. Doctors cut open his chest to perform CPR.
Kopp never woke up.
Stephenson found out about her son's injury in a phone call the afternoon of July 10.
"It was shocking," she said. "It instantly made me feel sick. It's the phone call that every soldier's mother doesn't want to get."
This was Kopp's first tour in Afghanistan after two in Iraq.
According to a journal Stephenson posted July 15 on the CaringBridge site, Kopp was diagnosed with cerebral hypoxia, defined as a lack of oxygen to the outer part of the brain. The condition was the result of the blood loss Kopp suffered and caused his brain to swell. Treating it required keeping Kopp in a medically-induced coma.
"He is full of tubes and wires and cords and bags and bandages and tape and everything you can imagine the most critical person to look like," Stephenson wrote online. "We have to wait and see what happens over the next day or two. We still need a miracle."
That miracle didn't come despite prayers and positive thoughts from thousands of visitors to the CaringBridge site and to a tribute site set up in Kopp's honor on the social networking site facebook.
As of Monday morning nearly 8,000 people had visited the CaringBridge site. Stephenson said reading the messages from those visitors reminded her of the people left fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"Please continue to say prayers for all of the men and women who so proudly serve our country," Stephenson wrote online. "Ben had a deep love of country and has just left a legacy of heroism for all of us to cherish. Be as proud of him as I was as his mother."
There will be services for Kopp in Minnesota, though details are not yet available. He has requested to be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery.
This wasn't the first time Kopp has had to fight for life. That started the day he was born.
Stephenson had a difficult labor, and after 72 hours doctors decided to deliver by cesarean section. They gave Stephenson morphine to stop the labor, but that caused Kopp's heart rate to drop. He wasn't breathing when he was born, and Stephenson said the fact he recovered amazed his doctors.
Kopp played special teams on the RHS football team and he enjoyed lifting weights. But he had to fight to graduate from high school, too. He was short of credits in his senior year, and he finished his high school career at an area learning center -- an alternative for students who struggle in traditional schools. He was still short one credit near the end of his senior year, so he returned to Rosemount Middle School, where he'd once done some service to make amends for a scale he'd broken. He asked principal Mary Thompson if he could get one credit for that work, and she agreed. Credits made up, Kopp got his diploma.
Stephenson said her son's decision to join the Army was inspired by his great grandfather, who'd served in World War II. He liked the idea of serving his country, Stephenson said. He joined the Rangers because he knew they were tough.
"Ben has always been up for a challenge," Stephenson said. "He came into the world a fighter."
This last fight was just one he couldn't win.

I took a size 9, 16 inch circular and cast on 80 stitches. At 4 stitches per inch, this will give me a 20 inch hat. Perfect. Then I worked the same rib for the brim as in the original pattern. Then for the increase rounds I worked onto a size 9, 24 inch. For the first increase round I worked (k1, kfb) across the round, increasing 40 stitches. The second round I increased another 24 stitches to come up with the same number as the pattern calls for.
Then I worked the repeat from the original pattern 4 times, then rounds 1-5 once. It's a simple and fast and a fun knit, so much better. I love this hat! You have to try this rework.
I did the exact same decrease sequence as in the original pattern. Worked like a charm. Now I think this is the perfect tam. I used one full skein of Manos wool, plus a little from a second skein, half the amount from the original hat at three skeins. With a quick steam the hat relaxed into a soft, pliable fabric, not heavy at all. My niece has sensitive skin so I did a quick lining with some beautiful gray fleece so there is no itch factor. It is gorgeous all-around.

One. Poolside in winter
Enough said.
|After shivering for 6 months, this was bliss.
Two. Besties
My besties, to be exact. I miss these girls!
|Me, Lesley, Lindsey and Miss Avery!
Three. Family
My entire family, on both sides (sans a few outlying cousins) lives in Florida. When I go home, I get to see them all. (And we don't always wear matchy-matchy shirts, promise. This was for my Grandpa's 90th birthday party on Sunday!)
|All the granddaughters with Grandpa and Grandma
Four. An abundance of fruit, year-round
Maybe I'm spoiled because I can go into my family's citrus groves and pick whatever I want, but seriously. This fruit is legit. And tasty. And healthy. Perfect, really.
|Fresh picked.
True, the Gator Nation is everywhere. But there's just something about being in the heart of it and feeling that everyone around you is either still getting over last football season OR talking about the possibility of going all the way in the NCAA tourney. In all kinds of weather, we all stick togetherrrrrr... for F L O R I D A!
Happy weekend from this Florida girl at heart!

Difficulties or Problems in Measuring Productivity
Problems in measuring productivity
Following image lists main difficulties or problems in measuring productivity.
Image credits © Prof. Mudit Katyani.
Important challenges or difficulties in measuring productivity:
- Difficulty in measuring output,
- Difficulty in measuring inputs,
- Factorial productivity,
- Changing prices of inputs and outputs,
- Intangible output of service sector,
- Comparison of productivity of different periods,
- Difficulty in measuring man-hours, and
- Changes in technology.
Now let's discuss these constraints in measuring productivity.
- Difficulty in measuring output : The output of an industry may be measured in terms of volume (units) or value (dollars). It is very difficult to combine both these factors.
- If the output is homogeneous (similar), then the productivity can be measured in terms of volume.
- If the output is not homogeneous, then the productivity can be measured in terms of value.
- However, if some units are homogeneous and other non-homogeneous, then the industry will face difficulties in measuring productivity.
- Difficulty in measuring inputs : Most industries do not have proper records of the inputs of land, labor, capital and machines. Even if such records are available, it is very difficult to calculate the exact number of man hours worked i.e. the input of labor.
- Factorial productivity :
- Factorial Productivity means to calculate the productivity of different factors of production separately.
- Some management experts say that a single factor of production cannot produce anything by itself. Therefore, it has no productivity. A single factor of production has productivity only if it is combined with other factors of production.
- Therefore, according to these management experts, the concept of factorial productivity is meaningless.
- Changing conditions : There is a continuous change in the price of inputs and outputs, quality of raw-materials, machines and tools, quality of labor, etc. All this creates difficulties in measuring productivity.
- Service sector : It is very difficult to measure the productivity of service sectors like Banking, Insurance, Education, etc. This is because the output of the service sector is intangible.
- Different periods : It is very difficult to compare the productivity of two different periods. For example, comparison of productivity during a war period with a peace period is meaningless.
- Difficulty in measuring man-hours : It is difficult to find out the exact number of productive man-hours. This is because wages paid to the employees also includes the cost of idle time.
- Technological change : Changes in technology will cause a change in the nature and quality of output. Therefore, measurement of productivity will become difficult.

Summer of this year is here and the sweltering heat outside makes it almost impossible to stay outdoors. Nevertheless we have to step outside to do do our day-to-day jobs and the humidity makes it quite tough to do makeup and stylize according to our desires. But not looking smart and stylish is not an option for us fashionista women. So what do we do? Don't worry. We have come up with cool fashion trends for this summer 2016 to make you look stylish and not sweat it.
Firstly we come to clothes. Wearing the right kind of clothes with comfortable fabric is very necessary to beat the heat. Comfortable Indian ethnic wear can help you sail past the whole day at ease. Cotton and georgette kurtis are the best fabrics for summer. Wear the Incredible Wrap Kurti Style In Blue Colour which is a comfortable sleeveless kurti in georgette and beautiful resham work. You can buy Indian sarees online in USA for this summer. Choose the Eye-catching Printed Pallu Saree in Black Colour which is perfect for a party wear. A beautiful georgette saree with satin halter neck sleeveless blouse will make heads turn during the festive season this summer. If you are looking for salwar kameez then cottons are the best option. Get the Printed & Resham Black Color Lovely Salwar Kameez, a wonderful cotton salwar with resham work, on this reputed and trustworthy online apparel store.
After clothes we come to bags. During summers jute bags or tote bags made of cloth and colourful embroidery work look very fashionable. You can match them up with trendy fashionable anarkalis or with any other Indian wear which you can avail from this online apparel store which has a huge collection of Indian ethnic wear.
In this heat stepping out in the sun without proper protection for your skin can be harmful for your skin. Wear sunglasses and shades to look stylish as well as beat the heat. Sunglasses in many frames and shapes are available now like polaroid, aviator, wayfarer etc. Team up these shades with the Incredible Wrap Kurti Style with Butta Work to look chic and trendy.
Shoes are an essential factor to make you look good. Summers are invariably made fore wearing belle shoes, stylish sandals and block heels with open toes. Team up belle shoes with the Net Fabric with Printed Work Incredible Readymade Kurti which you can get from the best online reliable apparel store which delivers across the globe.
Hairstyles are also a key factor which can change your whole look. If you can brave it then go for the bob cut or the short hair cut and keep it trendy. If you are unwilling to cut your long tresses then you can tie up your hair in a braid or a top knot style ponytail. Also you can tie up your hair in a bun to wear with your sarees and kameez. Team it up with the Wonderful Printed Pallu Saree in Off White & Deep Blue Color to stay glamorous as well comfortable.
Lastly, to complete any look you must also smell good. And the sweat during summer can give way to body odour which can be very embarrassing. Thus always carry and apply a good perfume to stay in style and make heads turn.
You can buy all of these apparels from this reliable apparel store for all your Ibdian ethnic wear needs. You can also get Indian Lehenga choli online in USA for marriages and other occasions.

There were plenty of moments as a child and teen when I bemoaned having to learn mathematics. Especially algebra. So I prefer to use real-life examples.
This past weekend, I woke up to see in the weak morning light a typical scene…
Imagine a king-size bed, which can comfortably fit three human beings, or more if you are cozy.
On my 1/3 of the bed was me, and only me. In the middle and over a portion of my husband's side of the bed, were our three dogs. I'd say about half of the bed was taken up by them. And my husband was curled into the small fraction that was left.
I got up and walked straight into my office to write the following question on my office blackboard…
I had a cleaning, and my husband is temporarily laid off from work, so he tackled this problem with her. Emily reportedly said, "Wow, this is an interesting math problem!"
They worked it out with pie charts.
I guess I'll explain LCD (least common denominator) another time…
And here is what Em came up with…
Soooo much better than a boring worksheet. And she understood it and enjoyed it!
Math doesn't have to be boring old worksheets or a long line of problems to solve. Sometimes it can be as straightforward as the problem above.
Next on my list?
Figuring out how much in purchases I need to make on my Capital One Travel Rewards credit card to pay for two one-way flights to Europe in 2020!
Round trip prices as well…
So if I have two $700 tickets to buy, I need to either pay $1,400 or have accrued 140,000 in travel miles. Which is the equivalent of spending $112,000. By April of 2020. That means an average of $3,111 per month of transactions.
Math Lesson for tomorrow: Why My Rewards Card sucks donkey butt

Bidding farewell to 2013 counting my abundant blessings. Couldn't have had a better day.
Spent my sweetest New Years Eve Day to date with these 5 angelic beings.
Well….4 angelic beings.
And one pouty little cherub.
C and Tristan are on a guys trip, so its just been the girls and I enjoying a Christmas "stay-cation".
Indulgent days where we stay in pajamas until lunchtime.
Lots of Fancy Nancy reading and Monopoly gaming.
All of us have freshly painted toe nails.
And bedtimes have been loosely observed.
Today we set off for the park. Picnic in arms and camera in hand.
Sometimes I can't believe they are all mine.
It truly feels like Im living a Jane Austin or Louisa May Alcott novel.
How I love my prim and proper "Little Women"….
….and…...all their unpolished moments too….
Thanking God today for the joy of being called "Mommy".
For sticky lollipop kisses...
For my maturing, capable, lovely big-sister, young-ladies…..
And for how they adore their littlest sis….she is one lucky girl!
Giving thanks for all she embodies….
Her sweetness…
….and sass….
…and that big personality condensed in her tiny-cute-self….
….thankful for the hudred times she makes us laugh each day!
Im thankful for the beautiful girlhood/sisterhood they share.
Thankful that whatever life throws at them, they'll have each other.
Im thankful that through this past year of transition and change and uprooting and a major move, they still have their best friends right beside them.
As Im counting my blessings, I realize Ive come to know these two as friends in addition to daughters this year. Loving having big girls who share the same interests and hobbies as their mom.
Man having pre-teen girls is a joy!!
And their little sisters have great role models to look up to!
What a gift to have our home and days filled with the giggles and silliness and flamboyant fun of 5 little ladies!
Im thankful for beauty.
For all the smallnesses….little hands to hold, little clothes to dress, little cheeks to kiss and little hearts to nurture.
Thankful for their long blonde tresses….
and curly mop tops….
Im thankful for the immeasurable joy that comes from seeing them grow and thrive. And reminded again of answers to prayer that their little lives are.
I love the way they each reflect their daddy's blue eyes
Today I give thanks for a million memories I hold dear in 2013.
Thankful for so many beautifully unexceptional days like today. Just normal days I get to be mommy and love and live with my little darlings. Giving thanks for these gifts, undeserved, lavished on me.
My blessings
….and my sweet boy.
Cant WAIT to share what he's been up to in the next post!

This book by Justin R. Macumber was awesome! Once I knew the characters I loved it every step of the way. I was intrigued right off the bat with the awesome sci-fi world and action. Then it changed pace as I met new characters. It didn't take too long before all their worlds collided in one crazy, awesome, and fun story. I was not bored once in this tale. Even early in the book when I was getting to know the characters and the crazy adventure hadn't started yet it was really well paced and a nice way to get to know them before you'd see them tested to their limits.
I'm giving this book five stars because it was everything I could have wanted in a sci fi adventure and then some. Not only was the story world a fun one to be in, but it was told in just enough detail to keep it believable while not dragging you down and slowing the story. Once crap started going down, this book moved at an amazing pace for me and before I know it I had come to the end. That said, there are many memorable moments that Justin slowed down and took his time on. Some that I will never forget because he crafted his story in such a way that I really felt like I was right there with the characters. Those memorable moments are another reason this super fun adventure story is getting a five star review from me. It was a fun romp through space, but one speckled with small memorable moments that held me in wonder as I experienced them with the characters.
I'm sure I'll read this one again and pass it on to my kids once their old enough. If you like Science Fiction, action, adventure, awesome fight scenes, or just a good story then you should give this book a read. The audio book is also really good. It took me a while to get used the way the narrator almost over enunciates everything but she's really good with characters and accents and made the book shine in my ear buds. I also own this book on Kindle. I am really looking forward to reading his fantasy title "A Minor Magic," to see what Justin does in another genre. This book proved to me that Justin is an author I'll be happy to read for years to come no matter what genre, because the dude can tell a good story.
Have you read any of Justin's stories? Are you a big fan of his awesome writing podcast The Dead Robots Society like me? Thanks for stopping by.
Snag the book in many formats:
Haywire on Amazon (Kindle eBook, Paperback, & Audiobook)
Haywire on Smashwords (every eBook format)

Living Church of God Commentary: Atoms and the existence of God
Although the existence of atoms is considered an undisputed scientific truth today, it has not always been so. In the early history of man's search for physical knowledge, some believed in atoms and some did not. But what can the current proof of the existence of atoms tell us about the existence of God?

Aren't those pretty little bundles of joy?
Now that it's officially spring (yeah!! I can feel it coming) and it's Spring Break in our neck of the woods I thought it was time to break out the citrus.
I love lemon but the hubs loves his limes. And since I had a quart of buttermilk sitting in my fridge this was the perfect idea. I was going to die the top green so you new it was actually lime instead of lemon but I thought maybe that was a little over the top but I promise I did use limes.
We took these bad boys with us to the park one night (in honor of Spring) and they were absolutely delicious. The children begged for thirds they were that tasty.
So here's to Spring and a fun filled week with the children home.
Buttermilk Lime Bar
(click here for printable version)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cold, cut into 8 pieces
4 large eggs
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 tbsp lime zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for dusting, optional
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray an 9x9 with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. To make the crust, in a medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Sprinkle the butter pieces over the top of the dry mixture and using a pastry blender, or two knives, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Pour the mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan and press the crust firmly to form an even layer. Bake for 16-17 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.
3. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling by whisking together all of the filling ingredients in a large bowl until evenly combined. Pour the filling mixture over the hot crust as soon as it comes out of the oven and return it to the oven to bake for 25-30 more minutes or until the filling is set (that means that when shaken slightly the filling in the center won't move).
4. Cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar, slicing and serving. I think they are even more fabulous having been chilled. Enjoy!
