I've recently seen plenty of Linux gamers get excited about DXVK and it is an interesting technology. However, you should remember that buying Windows games to play with it doesn't really help Linux gaming. "No Tux No Bux" is still the most reliable way to support the platform and make sure it develops on all levels.
I think we should port gaming as a whole. Restricting user library is not a good choice to do so.
Let's bring more and more users to Linux, this will bring more support, more driver, more developers and more statistics!
@danyspin97 Wine is a worthy tool and particularly helpful when someone is switching to Linux and wants to play some of the games they already have.
But if you as a Linux gamer buy a Windows game, how does that help the platform? You aren't giving devs an incentive to port their games, you are potentially denying money to porting houses that would port the game. When devs port their games they uncover bugs in drivers and libraries and help get those fixed, they bring their own tools to Linux.
@danyspin97 Basically, if I were to make a game on Linux and heard Windows dudes got it working through WSL, why should I bother actually making a Windows version when they seem happy to pay me for work I have totally not even done?
Now in reality I'd probably still make the port because Windows is bigger than Linux. But a Windows dev might actually think that way since they will only get that 2% extra purchases and if they already have like a quarter of that without doing work, why even work?
That's not the right thinking. Because if we suggest this kind of mindset, playing only Linux games, 97/100 gamers would stay on Windows. We should attract users, this will do all.
Wine is unpredictable and not all games work. Performance are always worse. So I don't see a reason to use it instead of native games.
I still think the real life changing is getting more and more users on Linux. The more users use it, the more projects, money and whatever there will be.
@danyspin97 Relying on Wine to get gamers over to Linux won't work either because with Wine Linux will always, at best, be the second best gaming OS. And we are talking about two different things entirely: you talk about Windows users converting to Linux, I'm talking about the guy who's been running Linux for 2 years now and has no intention of even going back to Windows. And if that Linux gamer actually wants to see the platform succeed he'll have to compromise.
I can't stop playing games just to support Linux because it will gain more or less nothing, and I will lose many many games worth play. There are better way to support Linux:
1. Supporting platforms and software, like Lutris and contributing to the community.
2. Help spread the word that Linux is a complete gaming platform, ready to compete with Windows (and I think it's better).
@danyspin97 You do you, but I'm telling you that you playing those Windows games contributes more or less nothing to Linux gaming. And in some cases, such as when a game you already bought to play with Wine gets ported to Linux and you don't buy it, it's directly harmful to Linux gaming.
Why is it harming?
You have just to download an already bought game and play at least one time on linux, that's all you need to do.
@danyspin97 Doesn't work like that. If you buy a Windows-only title and play it for like a month in Wine and then they port it for Linux the money doesn't suddenly go to the porting house. It was already given to the Windows devs. They don't hold your money indefinitely until you start the game up on Linux.
Dors this still count for steam games?
@danyspin97 Absolutely. Go ask Feral and the like if you don't believe me.
What i'll suggest is:
if you know that a game will receive a port, wait for it before buying.

Where necessary early orthodontic treatment can start for children as early as 4-8 years in order to prevent serious misalignments and correct primary dentition. Feel free to consult Christina if you have a concern in this regard, at this age. Thus contributing to beautiful harmonious smiles as well as ensuring optimal dental function.
Between 9-12 years of age, teenager orthodontic treatment can be initiated in order to take full advantage of the growth process of this age group. By 14-16 years of age greater technical intervention for correction is required given that the optimal adolescent growth phase has already taken place.
For adults, invisible lingual braces and transparent solutions such as rails for orthodontics are available. For head-muscle pain and bruxism (teeth grinding) we recommend removable rails.

The Dems really need us--it's worse than I thought
After I finished writing the last blog post, I settled into the tub and listened to Sam Seder and Janeane Garofalo interview a very smart and funny Julia Sweeney. They got into a discussion where they wondered what exactly was the cohesive element of conservative politics. What did anti-choice and anti-gay political movements have to do with maximizing corporate profits?
God, read George Lakoff, people.
We need a gendered reading of politics and now. The Republicans realized a long time ago that by demonizing the feminine and idolizing the Strong Male, they would win and win and win without ever having to explain policy decisions. It's all cocks and balls with them. What does anti-choice and anti-gay politics have to do with corporate profits? Well, everything. Kicking ass in business and "winning" by being the richest feeds into the Big Man philosophy of conservative politics. Putting bitches and fags into their place does, too. Frankly, it's so simple I can't believe we can't see it.
Liberals can't see it because of the distancing of liberalism from feminism. Liberal men are invested in the male mystique, too, and don't want to openly align themselves with "feminized" politics of equality. We don't speak the essential language of gender and we get our asses kicked repeatedly.
Prominent feminist voices, prominent feminist voices, prominent feminist voices. Get enough women up front speaking truth to power about gender, sex, and family and people will respond. But you have to be forthright about it. Ah-nuld got up at the Republican National Convention and slurred femininity itself. We have to stand up and demand better for our families--a world where women have a place alongside men. It won't be taken as weakness if we don't state it in in a weak way. Feminism in the 60's and 70's completely reshaped people's perceptions in a short period of time, because feminists stated their case forcefully and plainly and people responded. This time around, with a mainstream platform, we could win the attention of the vast majority of Americans who truly believe in fairness.

Cost: Free
Size 26.2MB
Version: 1.4.1
Type: like Instagram for books
Litsy is an app discovered by my co-worker that is very much like Instagram for Books. A Book Riot review of the app is called, "If Goodreads and Instagram had a Perfect Baby…" And you would have to agree this app is a great combination of both of these sites.
Litsy speaks to our creative side by allowing us to pose books for photographs. Using kits and materials in the library (or from home) we feature books in great environments. If you would like to follow us our name is Open Sesame – Portals to Teaching Resources. We thought it was very catchy. Search us by Doucette_Library as well.
Users have a Litfluence score that appeals to students who are gamers to begin with. Your litfluence score is based on how many people are following you, how much you post and if people are liking what you post. Although we are not competitive, some students may find an appeal in this aspect of the app.
We are using the app to feature great resources we would love to see in classrooms and to talk about how we can creatively use books to connect to curriculum or to create a great classroom atmosphere. We get to pick icons that suggest a good pick, so-so, pan or bail. Ours are mostly picks since we want you to see the resources we really like. We also get 451 characters to tell you everything you need to know about this book. That is sometimes a challenge.
The app would also play well in a classroom for students to use to feature what they are reading, if they like it and if they would suggest it to classmates. So our use of the app is showing you how you could use the app. A win-win in my opinion.
Read some reviews about the app and join us to see what we are featuring. The first books I posted were the ones I reviewed recently in a blog post on creating wonder in the elementary classroom. My co-worker has been busy posting back to school finds and some other great resources.
Join us or do some posting yourself or use it in your classroom. Get the word out about what you are reading or follow us and see what you great resources to pick up for your classroom or practicum.
The app creators are responsive still to feedback on what you would like to change or see added to the app.
Join the fun and visit us on this book-loving social media app.

Recently I started experiencing WMI repository corruption that results in inability to open SQL Server Configuration Manager with the following error message:
Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 and later servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Invalid class [0x80041010]
At this point if I browse WMI repository under root\microsoft\sqlserver\computermanagement11 I see no SQL Server-specific classes. Only system classes exist. To resolve this issue SQL Server WMI provider needs to be reinstalled.
Step 1 - Install classes
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL Server version, for example "110" for SQL Server 11>\Shared if you have x64 installation of SQL Server. On x86 machine the path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL Server version, for example "110" for SQL Server 11>\Shared. Make sure that file sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof exists. If it doesn't then either you're in the wrong location or your installation is corrupted and only SQL Server setup can fix the problem. However if the file does exist, then resolution is as simple as running command:
mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof
WMI compiler will notify you that repository was successfully updated
Step 2 - Install localization information
After the classes are deployed localization information needs to be installed as well. From the path in the previous step navigate to the sub-folder that reflects the locale of SQL Server installation. For example 1033 (for english-US). Full path is now C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL Server version, for example "110">\Shared\<locale ID, for example "1033" for english>. When at this path run the following command:
mofcomp sqlmgmprovider.mfl
WMI resopitory should have been updated successfully again.
Now you're all set. The problem should be resolve and SQL Server Configuration Manager should be functional again. If it still isn't the I would encourage you to describe your problem at SQL Server Manageability forum - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlkjmanageability/threads

Linlithgow Loch has welcomed a new addition to its armada that will help give more people access to the beauty spot.
Forth Area Federation of Anglers (FAFA), which operates fishing facilities at the loch, launched its latest wheelyboat for disabled and mobility impaired anglers following a successful fundraising campaign to upgrade the previous wheelyboat, which has been in service since 1995.
The boat is a Coulam 16, powered by a Suzuki engine, and is a substantial improvement on the original Mk 1 model the loch had while also being dual purpose so anyone can use it.
The need for accessible fishing boats has increased in recent years due to the popularity of the leisure activity and inaccessible nature of lochs, reservoirs, ponds and rivers to people who rely on wheelchairs or have mobility problems.
Wheelyboats overcome all difficulties on waterways, making them accessible and make boarding easy which gives disabled users dignity in their own independence and the chance to enjoy the same opportunities open to able-bodied users.
Socially, fishing has many charms and where suitable facilities are provided, such as at Linlithgow Loch, it is an activity that most disabled people can participate in very effectively.
It was designed by the Wheelyboat Trust, which supported FAFA's campaign, and JM Coulam Boatbuilders.
Wheelyboat Trust director Andy Beadsley said: "Congratulations to FAFA for the culmination of their fundraising campaign and launch of their new Wheelyboat.
"Like the Mk I it replaces, I am sure it will provide disabled anglers with many years of excellent service and many enjoyable days out trout fishing on the loch."
FAFA is a group of volunteers who have been running the fishing on the loch since 1962.
The national attraction is a trout fishery dominated by Linlithgow Palace on its shore with close links to the M9 which make it a popular destination for visitors and anglers, especially with summer on the horizon. The loch's fishing lodge is also fully accessible.
The wheelyboat project cost £11,166 and was funded by Avondale Environmental Ltd, LandTrust, Scottish Landfill Communities Fund, West Lothian Council and the Souter Charitable Trust.
FAFA's George Mackintosh said: "Our old Mk 1 model was showing signs of wear and tear so we definitely needed a new one and we are very pleased our campaign has delivered.
"Linlithgow Loch, like all waterways in this area, are to be treasured and should be open to everyone to enjoy so having mobility problems or being disabled shouldn't get in the way of that, and that's what this boat will do. It's a real beauty."

The Myth of Human Trafficking
I comment elsewhere on the issue of human trafficking, in response to this comment by Sanjay:
I really, _really_ don't grasp why you think activists are wrong to oppose human trafficking: most of the cases I'm aware of, and certainly the ones activists try to focus attention on, aren't about "options," they're about people backed into situations they didn't realize they were signing up for, and effectively jailed by the threat of violence. Worse, it often happens when people get trapped in (say) sexual slavery right here in this or another rich country. It seems like what we generally mean when we talk about human trafficking, isn't really in the kind of domain as the sweatshop thing.
The issue of human trafficking is overblown. Yes, it exists, and is wrong, insofar as it is coercive and harmful. And yes, there is certainly anecdotal evidence that it occurs. The problem is the statistical aggregate described by the term "human trafficking" is often bogus, and includes non-coercive, non-harmful cases of (often illegal) labor mobility lumped in with the coercive, harmful kind.
This is one of Kerry Howley's frequent topics of inquiry. Here she writes:
I'm inclined to see the hugely exaggerated statistics regarding human trafficking as driven by economic realities; sex slavery, thanks to evangelicals domestically and other social forces abroad, is where the money is. No one–least of all an NGO vying for that money–has an incentive to suggest that there are fewer victims than previously believed, or that the data suggests very few victims of trafficking are women sold into sex as opposed to men and boys forced into less titillating forms of labor; correct the misperception and you may shut off the tap. But clearly, there has to be some deeper will to believe among those who continue to parrot the now-discredited numbers.
In that same post she cites this Washington Post article:
Human Trafficking Evokes Outrage, Little Evidence
U.S. Estimates Thousands of Victims, But Efforts to Find Them Fall Short
And the money quote:
Ronald Weitzer, a criminologist at George Washington University and an expert on sex trafficking, said that trafficking is a hidden crime whose victims often fear coming forward. He said that might account for some of the disparity in the numbers, but only a small amount.
"The discrepancy between the alleged number of victims per year and the number of cases they've been able to make is so huge that it's got to raise major questions," Weitzer said. "It suggests that this problem is being blown way out of proportion."
Although there have been several estimates over the years, the number that helped fuel the congressional response -- 50,000 victims a year -- was an unscientific estimate by a CIA analyst who relied mainly on clippings from foreign newspapers, according to government sources who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the agency's methods. Former attorney general Alberto R. Gonzales told Congress last year that a much lower estimate in 2004 -- 14,500 to 17,500 a year -- might also have been overstated.
Also, the issue of human trafficking is closely tied to the issue of sex work, and so there are lots of biases and assumptions that predictably go along with any discussion of trafficking. For example, Howley often cites Laura María Agustín,
a sociologist who studies migrant sex workers. In her writings, she is critical of the conflation of the terms "human trafficking" with "prostitution" and "migration", arguing that what she calls the "rescue industry" often ascribes victim status to and thereby objectifies women who have made conscious and rational decisions to migrate. She advocates for a more nuanced study of migrant sex workers without pre-conceived notions.
Kerry interviewed Agustín for Reason here, in The Myth of the Migrant.
Kerry excerpts a piece by Agustín on the gender biases coloring our view of human trafficking here:
Single men's decisions to travel are generally understood to evolve over time, the product of their 'normal' masculine ambition to get ahead through work: they are called migrants. Then there is the case of women who attempt to do the same…
It is striking that in the year 2001 women should so overwhelmingly be seen as pushed, obligated, coerced or forced when they leave home for the same reason as men: to get ahead through work. But so entrenched is the idea of women as forming an essential part of home if not actually being it themselves that they are routinely denied the agency to undertake a migration. So begins a pathetic image of innocent women torn from their homes, coerced into migrating, if not actually shanghaied or sold into slavery. This is the imagery that nowadays follows those who migrate to places where the only paid occupations available to them are in domestic service or sex work.[3] The 'trafficking' discourse relies on the assumption that it is better for women to stay at home rather than leave it and get into trouble; 'trouble' is seen as something that will irreparably damage women (who are grouped with children), while men are routinely expected to encounter and overcome it. But if one of our goals is to find a vision of globalisation in which poorer people are not constructed solely as victims, we need to recognise that strategies which seem less gratifying to some people may be successfully utilised by others.
To sound the left-libertarian note, this is yet another case where patriarchal "traditional" cultural values about the proper role of women in society and the moral legitimacy of sex work leads to unlibertarian conclusions: millions of dollars wasted, mostly by governments, on essentially an urban legend popularized and believed by prudish traditionalists.
Why do I always hear
Why do I always hear feminists complaining about human trafficking and "left-libertarians" don't?
Most of these activists seem
Most of these activists seem to hark back to "The Yellow Peril" days where people feared foreigners selling white women into slavery.
The statistics are vague and vastly overestimated. One of these activists who made the mistake of giving out estimated numbers of children in Brazil kidnapped and trafficked every year. Slight problem, someone actually looked at the numbers and compared them to the number of children in Brazil. According to the human trafficker activist's numbers, every year a child in Brazil had a 60% percent chance of being kidnapped. You'd think there would be a huge outcry in Brazil if numbers were really that high.
For a complaint about the
For a complaint about the lack of evidence in human trafficking there is shockingly little research and evidence here to argue otherwise.
Human trafficking for the sex trade is as rare as rocking horse shit.
The feminist dopes just want another war chant, it just does not happen, oh yea women come to work as prostitutes but the suggestion that they are coerced into it by shady mafia figures is a load of baloney. They are just very poor women seeking a better life
The problems I see with the
The problems I see with the sex traffic idea is that suppose some of the women were not forced into this type of prostitution, but were willing and wanted to do this type of work, and went out of their way to do this type of work. (It is a lot of fast easy money, they don't need a degree, or a green card.) All they have to do is lie and say that someone forced them into it. When perhaps, no one did.
If they lie here are their benefits based on the new anti-traffic laws:
1. They don't have to go to jail or be arrested.
2. They get to stay and live in America for an indefinite amount of time.
3. The U.S. Government will provide them with housing, food, education and will cater to them since they will be considered victims.
The way I see it is that this system will encourage people to lie in order to receive all the benefits listed above.
Everything I heard about this problem was Americans complaining about it, but I never heard from the so-called victims themselves complaining about it. Why is that? Many of the self appointed experts complaining about this have never even met or seen a real victim. They make up a large figure out of thin air that 2 million or more women and children become sex slaves each year. They have been saying this for over 15 years so this means that 15 X 2, 000,000 equals 30,000,000 yet no one can find all these women and children. They have no evidence to back up these numbers, and no one questions them about it. Their sources have no sources, and are made up numbers.
A key point is that on the sidelines of a debate which has been dominated by ideology, a chorus of alarm from the prostitutes themselves is singing out virtually unheard. They oppose laws against prostitution. But no one wants to listen to the prostitutites themsleves. Only to the self appointed experts that make up numbers and stories.
This is a story that continues to give false information and is greatly exaggerated by politicians and media
It is very difficult to force someone to be a slave, they would have to have 24 hour guards posted and be watched 365 days a year, 24 hours per day. Have the threat of violence if they refused, and have no one notice and complain to the authorities.
What hard evidence does the police have that these women were forced slaves? Were all the women that the police saw in fact slaves? Did the police prove without a doubt due to hard concrete evidence that the women were victims of being slaves and forced against their will? Did they account for all the benefits they would receive if they lied?
I find it very hard to believe that most women in this business are forced against their will to do it. It would just be too difficult. There may be some exceptions but, I believe this is an attempt to over inflate an issue in order to get more government money to fight this cause. As a tax payer, voter, and resident I don't want the government to mislead me.

Guardian newspaper:
Children and Sex Slavery
Sex Trafficking is a Myth
According to the media hype There was supposed to be hundreds of thousands of under age child sex slaves kidnapped and forced to have sex with super bowl fans. At the Dallas Super Bowl 2011. WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OF THEM????????????
Well, as I predicted it was all a big lie told by various anti-prostitution groups and the Dallas Women's Foundation which is a anti-prostitution group that lies in order to get grant money from the government and charities to pay their high salaries. As proved in the link below:
Top FBI agent in Dallas (Robert Casey Jr.) sees no evidence of expected spike in child sex trafficking:
"Among those preparations was an initiative to prevent an expected rise in sex trafficking and child prostitution surrounding the Super Bowl. But Robert Casey Jr., special agent in charge of the FBI's Dallas office, said he saw no evidence that the increase would happen, nor that it did.
"In my opinion, the Super Bowl does not create a spike in those crimes," he said. "The discussion gets very vague and general. People mixed up child prostitution with the term human trafficking, which are different things, and then there is just plain old prostitution."
This myth of thousands or millions of underage sex slaves tries to make every sports fan a sex criminal. No matter what the sport is, or in what country it is in.
Brian McCarthy isn't happy. He's a spokesman for the NFL. Every year he's forced to hear why his customers are adulterers and child molesters. Brian McCarthy says the sport/super bowl sex slave story is a urban legend, with no truth at all.
== World Cup 2006 ==
Politicians, religious and aid groups, still repeat the media story that 40,000 prostitutes were trafficked into Germany for the 2006 world cup – long after leaked police documents revealed there was no truth at all in the tale. A baseless claim of 25,000 trafficking victims is still being quoted, recently, for example, by the Salvation Army in written evidence to the home affairs select committee, in which they added: "Other studies done by media have suggested much higher numbers." Which has been proven by the German police to be completely false. Yet people still talk about these false numbers as if it were fact.
==World Cup 2010 ==
Again using the made up number of 40,000 prostitutes trafficked:
The behavior of fans in South Africa has run contrary to what was predicted prior to the start of the tournament after David Bayever told World Cup organizers in March it was feared that up to 40,000 extra prostitutes could converge in the host nation to meet the expected demand. Bayever, deputy chairperson of South Africa's Central Drug Authority (CDA) that advises on drug abuse but also works with prostitutes, warned: "Forty-thousand new prostitutes. As if we do not have enough people of our own, we have to import them to ensure our visitors are entertained."
But the tournament in 2010, if anything, has seen the modern-day soccer fan attracted to art galleries and museums over brothels. A trend that has seen a drop in revenue across the board for the prostitution industry, which is illegal in South Africa. "Zobwa," the chairperson of Sisonke -- an action group representing around 70 street prostitutes in Johannesburg -- said business had been down over the last month. "The World Cup has been devastating. We thought it was going to be a cash cow but it's chased a lot of the business away. It's been the worst month in my company's history," the owner and founder of one of Johannesburg's most exclusive escort companies told CNN.
The Vancouver Olympics 2010:
Again anti-prostitution groups lied and used the same figure of 40,000 or more sex slaves for the Vancouver Olympics. Again they were proved wrong. There were no sex slaves at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.
In recent years, every time there has been a major international sporting event, a group of government officials, campaigning feminists, pliant journalists and NGOs have claimed that the movement of thousands of men to strange foreign countries where there will be lots of alcohol and horniness will result in the enslavement of women for the purposes of sexual pleasure. Obviously. And every time they have simply doubled the made-up scare figures from the last international sporting event, to make it look like this problem of sport/sex/slavery gets worse year on year. Yet each year it is proved false.
This myth tries to make every sports fan a sex criminal. No matter what the sport is, or in what country it is in. These anti-prostitution groups need to in invent a victim that does not exist in order to get press attention.

Before Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe can go solve the crime of the century, they have to deal with a rotting corpse in the new trailer for Warner Bros. Pictures' "The Nice Guys." And while it can't make the May 20 release date get here any sooner, it will fill the Shane Black-sized hole in your heart.
The "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" and "Iron Man 3" director returns with a 1977-set film that features Gosling as a troubled private investigator and Crowe as a gun for hire trying to solve the mystery of a dead porn star and a missing girl as they uncover a far greater conspiracy and rack up plenty of bodies in the process. While the new trailer features plenty of gunfights, car crashes and Black's signature wit -- not to mention a human-sized bee -- it does so in a decidedly less R-rated way than the previous Red Band trailer.
Written by Black and Anthony Bagarozzi, "The Nice Guys" also stars Kim Basinger, Matt Bomer and Margaret Qualley.
Set in 1970s Los Angeles, down-on-his-luck private eye Holland March (Ryan Gosling) and hired enforcer Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) must work together to solve the case of a missing girl and the seemingly unrelated death of a porn star. During their investigation, they uncover a shocking conspiracy that reaches up to the highest circles of power.

Amazon brought me a custom cut sunshade for the F150. It seemed like a good first accessory for the new truck, and it is going to get properly hot in the borderland within a couple of weeks anyway.
I also drove it to work for the first time today. I thought it should get introduced to the faculty and staff lot on campus where it will spend a significant amount of time. I expect to have to Corvette for a few more weeks and I'll probably continue driving it as my regular vehicle for as long as I have it.

Human evolution is much like earthquakes on Earth. The tension builds up until it reaches critical mass and then you see big movement. Over the years and especially since the 60's a natural health movement has been building and today is peaking as stores such as Whole Foods are becoming the norm. All of the fast food giants have seen this coming and are frantically trying to carve out a corner of the organic fast food market.
A couple of weeks ago the World Health Organization released a report that placed hot dogs, sausages, lunch meats, hamburger and all processed meats in the same Cancer Causing category as Cigarettes and Asbestos. Feel the earthquake yet?
Two week later we are hearing nothing about it as all the news people brought in experts that calmed everyone down, saying things like "Everything is fine in moderation" Ever breathe in asbestos in moderation? The meat industry is no doubt doing their own studies to discredit the findings of the WHO and I'll bet every lobbyist in Washington is positioning for this one. Hang in there, here we go.
In the meantime the EarthQuake has stopped but there is a new line in the sand. We now see from a higher perspective. Ready . . Set . . Evolve. I can't say it has been easy moving away from meat, but it is also not the same when I do eat it.
In the recent Predictions Comments and Questions for Dec the group said that this will help humanity on many levels:
Firstly, it will increase health in evolving humans and on Earth.
Secondly it will save a lot of water on the planet. Current figures stand at 1800 gallons of water per pound of beef.
Thirdly and very important to the group is the methane gas released in the atmosphere from the raising of beef. The group said it was a much bigger problem than we knew and is actually causing trouble with our ionosphere.
Alright. . Well I guess so . . said the little boy dragging his Ronald McDonald figurine in the dirt. Can't wait to see what they come up for in the next happy meal.
Enjoy the Evolution

The Editor's Back Fence
The Editor's Back Fence
What? You still don't know who to vote for? Even with the editor's endorsements?
Here are a few tidbits of new information which might help you finally decide.
Hancock v. Chan (state senate)
Ignore all the icky mudslinging , theoretically from third parties commonly known as IEs (Independent Expenditures). Both candidates have benefited from these nasty mailers (or suffered from them.) The next reform to the election process should be to regulate this kind of activity, within constitutional limits of course.
For one last chance to compare the contenders, check out their joint interview on KQED's Forum with Michael Krasny.
I caught a couple of questionable Hancock statements in my distracted listening to it while doing other things.
Asked about the possible fourth tube proposed for the Caldecott Tunnel (Orinda is pro, Berkeley mostly con), she waffled. She said she's been meeting with "neighbors", and that there's no money for it anyhow. But, she said, she thought a good "mitigation" would be to build more housing on this side of the hills.
That's screwy, especially when coupled with the longstanding Hancock/Bates effort to gentrify West Berkeley for the benefit of land speculators. In the discussions she pointed with pride to her effort to spruce up San Pablo from Richmond to Oakland, but said nothing about where service and light manufacturing jobs all along the route would have to go once San Pablo's lined with big-box condos. Auto repair, salvage, upholstery, bakeries—we need them all. Some of them are messy, noisy or smelly, but building more condos with small, ugly and empty retail pods on the first floor isn't the answer. The condo-dwellers will have to work somewhere, and it's probably going to be an office park in Dublin, through the tunnel.
Worthington v. Skinner v. Thurmond v. Polakoff (assembly)
A fragment of a poll was leaked to this space by a not-terribly-reliable source. It's a week or so old. At that time Skinner was ahead by about 7%, with Worthington next and gaining. Thurmond and Polakoff were far behind.
Since then, however, Thurmond has been endorsed by the corporate press: Dean Singleton's Media News Group megaconglomerate, also known here as the Bay Area News Group ( including the Contra Costa Times, Oakland Trib, San Jose Mercury and the Hills papers, including the Voice, the Montclarion and the Journal) and the Hearst Corporation's San Francisco Chronicle.
Worthington has been endorsed by the lonely outposts of the independent press, the San Francisco Bay Guardian and the Berkeley Daily Planet. Skinner and Polakoff haven't been endorsed by the press, but she's the designated successor in the Bates/Aroner/Hancock line.
Will any of this matter? Who knows? Vote Early and Often, as they used to say in Chicago.
May 27, 2008
In today's experiment, the executive editor will answer a couple of letters. We've been longing to try this ever since the paper was started. For years letters to the editor and the editor's often sarcastic replies were the centerpiece of the much-enjoyed Anderson Valley Advertiser. The Greater Berkeley Area takes itself more seriously than the Anderson Valley, so what he did there might not work here. But occasionally we get letters that deserve an answer, serious and not-so-serious.
Here's a serious one:
I am sick and tired reading about how bad Willard is. Riya has never had anything good to say about us. Instead of investigating the reality here at Willard, she just rehashes old news about our ex-vice principal and reports on faulty data. Had she spoken with our Principal like any reporter worth their weight would do, she would have a more balanced report. But as with the other articles she has written about us, Riya again just publishes inaccuracies.
I have been teaching here for 9 years and have seen Willard go from a rough school to a diamond in the rough. Report on our increased API scores last year (biggest gain of all middle schools), report on the fact that in a school survey completed by students and parents, 92% felt that Willard is a safe place, report about the fact that we were the only middle school to reach our participation percentages on the standardized testing last year, report on the fact that we don't hide any data about our school - we are an open book and we have nothing to hide. We know we are good, I just wish those who report about us do their job better and stop bashing Willard.
Sharon Arthur
6th grade teacher.
I emailed back to Ms. Arthur: The principal refuses to return phone calls. Perhaps you could discuss this with him. The data we published was also in the Chronicle. If the data was faulty, he or anyone is welcome to provide correct data, to us and to the Chronicle.
But there's much more to say. This case is a good illustration of why Berkeley needs a sunshine ordinance, preferably one which applies to the public schools as well as to the city. Actually, we'd settle for compliance with the California Public Records Act, which is already the law. Riya Bhattacharjee, our education reporter, has gone to great lengths trying unsuccessfully to get accurate data about suspensions at Willard, including a string of CPRA requests which were largely ignored plus many letters and phone calls to all sorts of BUSD officials, also ignored.
The Chronicle's respected and very experienced education reporter Nanette Asimov had similar problems getting accurate information about what's happening at Willard.. In case you no longer read the Chronicle, here's what she said:
With 254 incidents, Willard reported one of the highest violent-suspension rates in the Bay Area last year: 1 for every two students, or 54 percent.
Principal Robert Ithurburn said Willard actually had 177 violence suspensions, a rate of 38 percent. The discrepancy could not be readily explained.
Either way, Willard's rate far exceeds 5 percent, and Ithurburn said he is working to change a culture of lax supervision.
It's important to keep good track of what you're doing to know what effect it has. It looks like Willard is suspending lots of kids, but how many and to what effect can't be assessed with no data.
As regards the departed ex-vice principal, whatever she did or didn't do about suspensions, it's safe to bet that without Bhattacharjee's investigative pieces she'd still be working at Willard. We still don't know exactly why she left so suddenly.
What's wrong with lots of suspensions? you might ask. As an experienced parent whose three daughters went through Willard, and a grandparent of a current junior high school student in another city, I view suspensions as failures. Whether you're kicking half your kids out of school or only two-fifths of them, when they're not in school they're not learning. And if the parents are working as most are (or are absent, as is the case for all too many students these days) the student is out in the street looking for trouble.
"Changing a culture of lax supervision" at school, if that's a problem, might be fine, but suspension doesn't solve that one—supervision is not done by students, but by teachers and administrators. And the school my granddaughter attends has almost identical test scores to Willard's when broken down by ethnicity, with a much lower suspension rate. Why is that?
I answered the question of educators' eternal desire to have only the good news reported in the press long ago, in 2003. Through the magic of the Internet, you can find what I wrote then here.
Not much seems to have changed.
And now the less serious answer:
Dear Editor,
You comment on the front page of your website, in an article "The Editor's Soapbox," dated May 13, defending your frequency of publication of news, "Friends, there's new stuff posted on this web site almost every single day: news, opinions both letters and commentary, columnists, you name it, something new every time you turn around..." Today is May 24, and there is not a single article less than ten days old on the front page. There is a "Flash News Update: Man Shot to Death on Durant Avenue" dated May 14. It is embarrassing to call ten day old events "flash news," and even more so to then harass your readers for calling for more frequent updates.
Scott Fay
Berkeley Resident
My answer to Mr. Fay:
You don't seem to be looking at the current issue--perhaps you haven't refreshed your browser?
I make the same mistake myself sometimes—it's easy to do. You can also hit the "current issue" button near the top left of the online Planet's home page to get the latest articles.

Every week a new experiment...this week, we're trying out a Web-only column of short items. People send us things that are not serious enough or big enough or current enough for a full-fledged news story or a full-dress editorial essay, but are too good to pass up. And increasingly they send us links to good stuff in other Internet locations which Planet readers would like to see.
This spot (at least this week) will be where to find short takes on interesting or amusing topics between the Thursday print papers. Of course, we expect our readers to contribute most of the items, just as neighbors in the fabled small towns of yore shared gossip over the back fences. Hence the name.
At first, we thought we should post these on Mondays, but Monday came and went this week. And why not just post them as they arrive? So that's the plan for this week.
Our goal is to get our on-line readers to check out the Planet Website each and every day, maybe more than once a day, so that they don't miss anything. And it's not just this column....we have something new online—news and columns too—almost every day now.
Here's just one juicy little item to get the ball rolling. A reader forwarded this invitation:
From www.nancyskinnerforassembly.com:
Wednesday, May 7th from 5:30 to 7pm
Don Yost & John Norheim
along with co-hosts: ... Mark & Erin Rhoades, Ali
Kashani & Ed Church
Invite you to meet and support Nancy Skinner
At the offices of Norheim & Yost
2332 5th St, Berkeley
Just in case your program doesn't list the names and numbers of all the players:
Yost and Norheim are the commercial real estate brokers who control most of the listings in beleaguered West Berkeley.
Mark Rhoades is the former City of Berkeley Director of Current Planning (planning czar), who went through the Planning Department's revolving door to become the business partner of
Ali Kashani, who was formerly with the non-profit Affordable Housing Associates, but has crossed over to the Dark Side to become an emphatically for-profit developer.
Mark is also the marital partner of Erin Rhoades, who is also the president of the thinly-camouflaged developers' lobbying group Livable Berkeley. Until Mark left the planning department Erin used her maiden name of Erin Banks in her job with the DCE consulting firm, founded by David Early, which has had a number of lucrative contracts with the City of Berkeley and UC Berkeley. Early was also her predecessor at Livable Berkeley. Presumably Erin used her birth name in an attempt to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest with her husband's job. Caesar's wife, after all, must at least appear to be above suspicion.
Ed Church is the man behind the attempt to turn the Ashby BART station into a condo-complex, an endeavor which is now on hold because of the huge public outcry which greeted it. No stake has been driven through its heart, or his, however.
And Nancy Skinner ? She's the anointed candidate of the Bates/Aroner/Hancock organization (never call it a machine, unless you want to get angry letters from old friends) for their successor to the family seat in the California Assembly, and judging from this invitation she also seems to have inherited their developer campaign contributors. Not bad for a beginner. And she's already raised a bundle of money, with more TBD right before the June primary, too late to be reported by the media.
(Full disclosure: I endorsed Kriss Worthington for the job, long before the B/A/H mantle dropped on Skinner's shoulders.)
Here's a half hour of comedy viewing for the city council junkies among you. The Acting City Attorney and several of the councilmembers skate right up to the precipice of contempt of court as they fool around with ignoring Judge Frank Roesch's order to rescind an earlier bit of foolishness (he called it "abuse of discretion"), granting extra perks to developer Patrick Kennedy for the notorious Gaia building, now owned by equally notorious rent control foe Sam Zell. The CA wanted to tack on a whole bunch of extra stuff that the Judge had not asked for, but plaintiff Patricia Dacey and her attorney Anna DeLeon finally managed to convince the unwilling members that they might go to jail if they carried on as they were. But you do have to watch the whole episode to get the full nuanced comic flavor. Jump the video to item 11 on the agenda.
Randy Shaw of Beyond Chron has an excellent analysis of who those "angry working class white voters" who say they won't vote for Obama AREN'T. He says he media are afraid to call a racist a racist.

As our Internet experiment ("daily online, weekly in print") moves forward, we've encountered a certain amount of guilt-tripping from our friends and neighbors for "deserting" them on Tuesdays. Everyone seems to like getting their weekend paper earlier, on Thursdays, but they whine that they've been accustomed to having another little news fix earlier in the week, and they hate to give it up. Friends, there's new stuff posted on this web site almost every single day: news, opinions both letters and commentary, columnists, you name it, something new every time you turn around. . . Today, check out the surprise announcement of the Mayor's State of the City Address, something we didn't know about when we put the print paper to bed last week.
Look for the red datelines to alert you to what's new
The great thing about the Internet, something you just can't do with print, is that we can also direct you to interesting material that there would never be room for in print, or that we would never have time to organize into print even if we had the room. Case in point: the opinion submission from the people who aren't too happy with AC Transit's Bus Rapid Transit proposal. Technically sophisticated, they turned in their thoughts as a nicely formatted .pdf (image) file, complete with all those clever indentations and bullets that are a newspaper formatting nightmare. After a little online negotiation, we persuaded them to add an executive summary suitable for print, but we were also able to put their full arguments online in all their organized glory. Online readers can experience this product in our Reader Commentary section today.
And other media today are full of horror stories of the multiple disasters around the world, leaving our readers wondering what, if anything, they can do to help. With our online presence, we can pass along to you a message we received from a soprano friend now living in Japan, who sent us an appeal she received from a fellow musician who is working at a music school in Yangon (Rangoon) in Myanmar (Burma).
The teachers and students there are organizing a relief effort to help the hundreds of thousands of people in lowland rural areas affected by the recent cyclone. Their web page www.gitameit.com/wp has been turned into an information site to let people in the outside world know what's going on, and to make it possible for them to donate to worthwhile organizations already operating inside Myanmar.
The soprano writes from Japan: "As you can see from her website, she is practically ground zero for the recent typhoon and tsunami that hit Burma...I am trying to raise funds through concerts here in Japan; would it be possible for you all to consider a fund-raising concert project to help assist the disaster survivors? You can get information on the foundation (no money-grabbing; I vouch for Kit 110%) from her web-site; all money would go directly to the people of Burma, no ear-marking or deletions."
The site is well worth a look. It has lots of current news and photos, with a number of buttons that can be used for one-click donations to a variety of responsible groups already doing what they can for the relief effort. You don't even have to organize a concert; just send money.
Incidentally, the music school itself sounds pretty terrific too. Here's a description from its "about" page: "In Pali and Burmese, 'gita' means music, and 'meit' means friendship. Gitameit Music Center was started in 2003 by pianist Kit Young and colleagues from Myanmar in order to build a supportive community of musicians and audiences locally, and to encourage sustained, meaningful contact with international institutions, teachers and performers. Gitameit Music Center is a non-profit community center and music school in downtown Yangon devoted to music teaching & nurturing, performing, offering exchange possibilities for Burmese students to study abroad, and inviting international artists & teachers for performances and workshops in Yangon."
Music is one of the best ways of crossing formidable borders. While you have your credit card or checkbook out to donate for cyclone victims, you might give some thought to what the future will be like in Myanmar, and give a bit to encourage Kit's musicians while you're at it.
And now we come to the audience participation part of this program. On the right side of the page you'll find a simple survey, designed to let us know if anyone's actually reading the new and improved Berkeley Daily Planet on the Web. It won't take a minute, and it will help us understand how we can best serve our readers.

Veteran Politico: "Okay, tell me how you win Mcdonald. How do you lay out the argument that wins Mcdonald for you?"
Chicago City Attorney: "Honestly? I don't see any way."
Hearing a Chicago attorney admit they're likely to lose McDonald v. Chicago in a big way is like hearing your wife say she loves you. Sure, it's nothing new, and maybe she thinks it should go without saying, but it's still nice to hear it out loud.

At least one was killed and more than 30 were injured after a car plowed into pedestrians on the famous Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night.
The crash occurred on Las Vegas Boulevard near the Planet Hollywood Resort. The offending car was reportedly driven by a female driver who had 3-year-old child with her in the vehicle, KSNV News3LV reported.
A witness told CNN affiliate KLAS that the driver had both hands on her wheel and didn't seem like she wanted to stop the car. Some pedestrians tried to stop the car but weren't able to. She drove away from the scene after the crash.
According to CNN, at least one person was killed and seven were in critical condition. A total of 37 people were treated by paramedics.
It was not clear if the female driver drove her car onto the sidewalk intentionally. She has been arrested and is undergoing various tests including alcohol test, CNN reported.

So, I've been moving further with my VJ application. These are some shots that I've taken after sprucing up the original "sketch" from my last post — making it a little bit more performance-friendly. I've really been working on features more than anything today, but keep bouncing back to the creative stuff every now and then.
Videos tomorrow perhaps?

As I finished DOOM last night, fired off the BFG one last time and watched the credits roll I couldn't help feeling a sense of loss as well as triumph. I kept trying to categorize that loss and put it into words for some friends that knew I was playing it…especially those that tried it on my recommendation and for whatever reason, just didn't jive with it.
Because of those reactions of those close to me I kept qualifying my statements: The best First-Person-Shooter I played in years or The best solo campaign since Modern Warfare 1.
But that's bullshit.
It's the best game I've played in years. Maybe forever. That isn't to say it's the best narrative experience (although I really like the purposely dumb narrative and think it's executed beautifully, but complimenting feels like pausing a porn mid-thrust to talk about how well crafted the characters are). That isn't to say it's the best visual masterpiece like a Naughty Dog title (although I think the visuals are extremely well done and the gore is absurdly artistic).
But games used to be pretty simple before all of that pomp and circumstance. You will probably find writing by me somewhere on the internet in years past championing narrative as the number one thing I look for in a game, and I've sort of had a come to Jesus moment where gameplay is concerned. What happened was I got everything I always wanted, so what I wanted had to change.
Life is Strange from last year is one of the best narrative games I've ever or probably will ever play. It exists to tell a story. It's built from the ground up to do that, and it does it amazingly well. Other titles from 2015 such as Firewatch and Until Dawn I had a blast playing through with a group like we would watch a TV show together. Telltale games from Walking Dead to Tales From the Borderlands were also great times. I'm overserved in the narrative department, and served damn well.
But something happened along the way during the 360 generation. Like the infamous Dre, we forgot about gameplay. Games got bigger, more expansive. Guess how many question marks this one has on the map? Will finding all these question marks be fun? Who cares? Look how many there are!
Stories in games started requiring powerhouse visuals, voice acting, full orchestrated music. This is all great, but it also meant that it was all incredibly expensive. As a result I suspect, games started making games something everyone could beat. This probably wasn't the only reason, obviously, but I can imagine it's hard to justify paying large swaths of cash on an ending most players won't be good enough to see.
As I said, I recommend DOOM to a lot of people, and a few just didn't get it. I hate that phrase "didn't get it." It make me feels like the elitist asshole I was in high school. Older Jeff is more grounded and knows that different people have different tastes. What's it matter if they don't like it?
But, that's kind of bullshit too. Well intentioned bullshit, but the well motivated kind always smells the worst.
DOOM is objectively a great game. You are presented "the challenge" of that game early on: kill all the demons, beat the level, and don't run out of health. Each level adds a wrinkle on this original challenge. There's no hiding in cover, but every projectile is dodgeable if you're good enough. There's no reloading, but resources are scarce, and there is so much care put into the gameplay choice of when you use which ammo, when you choose to spend chainsaw fuel to force ammo drops.
Each level has hidden secrets, and finding them results in the sweetest dopamine rush. The rune trials are well crafted, forcing you to learn how to use the diverse weapon selection in new ways, and finishing them gives you huge advantages in the actual game. The ultimate mode of each weapon modifier isn't unlocked through collectibles like the first few abilities, but rather through the sort of gameplay challenge that would have been a silly Xbox Achievement in the early days of the 360. I found myself going back to old levels where I thought getting X demons in one shot gun blast might be easier to accomplish.
The enemies are diverse, attacking you in varied ways and requiring different weapons to take them out the most efficiently. In the ending levels, there are so many enemies to deal with that I had to mentally prepare for each battle, my heart thumping as I watched my health or ammo tick down. I'd see a health pack and have to make the split second decision, "Should I pick it up now, or leave it for later?" And it is a split second, because standing still is death. Ten minutes later you are sprinting back, dodging projectiles with only 24 health, trying to find that healthpack you left for later.
It's an amazing game.
I've noticed some correlations with those that "didn't get" DOOM. First, they had the XBOX 360 as their first primary console. This meant that they learned to game in the "You made it to the question mark, here's a cookie" generation. Second, they also "don't get" Dark Souls. They don't understand why those games are popular, and are a little annoyed when people say they are good.
Honestly, I'm not really sure what the mature response is here. A big part of me suspects that these individuals aren't giving these games enough of a chance. That they've been so coddled for so long that they perceive failure as the opposite of fun, and not a step in learning towards the ultimate fun of that difficult thing finally achieved.
The old-man-yelling-on-his-porch part of me wants to extrapolate this into a larger narrative about a generation that was given participation trophies. That sees success as an right as opposed to an earned privilege.
But then most of me says that's overly elitist and pedantic for chatter about video games The world is hard enough without me saying that you're too timid or lazy to enjoy good games. And who am I to talk, I ignore multiplayer almost entirely (or did until the brilliant Overwatch came into my life) because I "don't get" online multiplayer gaming. I also "don't get" MMOs. I also "don't get" MOBAs.
But, on the same hand, I'd never say more about them then "They aren't for me." And if someone told me that Dota 2 was the best game in 2014 I'd tell them that I didn't play it enough to really have an opinion.
If there's a mark against DOOM (besides the unnecessary multiplayer) it's that unlike Dark Souls, it has difficulty selection. I watched one of these DOOM naysayers try the game out at my house. He picked easy, negating the strategy and resource management. He ignored all the rune trials. He ignored all the secrets. He played a few levels and went, "Meh, I'm not really that into it."
My response, "You didn't really play it."
Maybe I'm becoming an old man. Maybe I'm just being the elitist asshole I was in high school once again, but if you don't like DOOM, you're wrong. It's a beautiful game.
And frankly, this generation doesn't deserve it.

song in my heart
Each layer of wax and fabric dye offers up new effects and surprises. This piece reminds me of the February sunshine that flooded our living room two homes ago. We would bask in it after a bath. The little one has a treble clef in her ear. This eludes to the songs she hears every day and night, the songs and love that will become a melodious thread in the fabric of her life.
The piece in progress almost looks like the mother is holding her pregnant belly, waiting. Seems like it's always the case with children, wondering what the future holds, who they will be... while the trick is to enjoy the moment.

Review Summary: Would the passion of the dance be enough for our lovers, Trevor and Alejo? Emotions run high but the threads between Hunter and Chance could either unravel or bind them together.
Love is not for the faint of heart. Mild-mannered Trevor accompanies his Gran Elsie on holiday at a luxury resort in Majorca, hoping for some rest and relaxation under the dazzling Spanish sun. But they didn't count on arriving in the middle of Flamenco Week. Instead of massages and siestas, they find noisy builders and tacky theme parties.
Trevor has a choice to make: put up, or shut up—and finding the nerve to complain to the staff, the mysterious Chance and imperturbable Hunter, is far from easy. But the impromptu assertiveness training comes in handy when he catches the eye of the manager's son, Alejo.
There's someone for everyone—even Trevor—providing he finds the courage to stand up for what he wants.
Media Naranja (Other Half) is a story within a story and a play on the emotions of the characters as they await their fate without realizing that their lives are about to change. The stories are intertwined but move on parallel paths, sometimes intersecting – Hunter's and Chance's and Trevor's and Alejo's, and to a lesser degree Elsie's, Trevor's Gran. Along for the ride was Vera, Elsie's long time friend and probably the oldest cougar in history. 🙂
Chance's and Hunter's roles have always been clearly defined in the series but this time I wasn't sure who was doing what as they both identify their "Ones". I knew that Chance's One was Trevor, but who was Hunter's?
When Trevor, his Gran Elsie and her friend Vera arrived at the resort in Majorca, Spain, they were told it was Flamenco Week. Not only was this not advertised in the travel brochures before they left home, but the noise and dust of the preparations for the event would spoil the relaxing holiday everyone expected. Trevor mentioned to Hunter in his role of the part-time Wellness Coordinator at the resort that the noise of the prep work for Flamenco week would disturb his Gran's rest, but he was not at all helpful even when Trevor indicated that Elsie was recovering from chemo and that she had been looking forward to being pampered.
Trevor longed to be a dancer but he knew that his family would never approve of his career choice so he kept his wish a closely guarded secret, only sharing it with his Gran who urged him to go for his dream. Elsie had had a full and happy life with her husband Bill and she had only one remaining wish before she died, for Trevor to achieve his ambition. She urged him to grab his chance at living rather than being swayed by the disapproval of his parents. When Trevor met Alejo and they danced, that dream seemed not too far from becoming a reality, if only he had the strength and willpower to grab it by the horns before it faded away.
The characters in Media Naranja were at different stages of their lives and this was obvious in the ebb and flow of their emotions. There was Vera who was trying to recapture something that had long passed her by but that didn't stop her from flaunting her overripe figure that no one wanted. Trevor was on the brink of choosing Alejo and dancing which were linked, rather than what his parents wanted. Would he go for door number 1 or door number 2? What about Gran – would she be Hunter's next victim or would she live to see another day, and what was in the "Naranja Con" chocolates that Chance sent her? Would Vera ever give up her fruitless search for romance? So many mysteries to solve in such a short book.
Finally, Chance had to figure out his relationship with Hunter who seemed to be elusive as usual and he wondered who Hunter was targeting as his next victim in his role of Death, but when Hunter eventually showed up Chance had more important things to think about such as Hunter's kisses.
What I loved about this book was the relationship between Hunter and Chance which had almost reached it's zenith, but Hunter was holding his cards close to his vest although he was much more open than before. I almost felt sorry for Chance even though he was immortal and at times uncaring and sarcastic to humans, because he was going through the same emotions as everyone else and was suffering from unrequited love for Hunter. The relationship threads between them seemed to be untangling at last as Hunter appeared to be rethinking what he wanted. Maybe this time Chance would make a move rather than play his usual waiting game.
As always I was fascinated by the plots in this series and in Media Naranja I didn't know how it was going to end, which is part of its charm. Trevor changed in the space of a week from someone who was afraid of his own shadow to a more assertive man who knew exactly what he wanted, grew a pair and went after life with zest. Although I didn't get to know Alejo as well as Trevor I didn't feel that impacted my enjoyment, the point of the story was about choices and the part that the rhythm of the dance played in Trevor's decision — the passion of the flamenco dancers setting his body on fire made him realize what he would be giving up if he didn't seize his opportunity.
The great writing of Jordan Price and Clare London gave readers ordinary characters that I came to care about because of their human qualities and frailties, their disappointments and failures, but above all, the triumph of the spirit whether the character was young Trevor or his Gran.
The complex threads that bound Chance and Hunter, Chance's hurt and bruised feelings and the glimpse of his emotions and uncertainty about the future seemed to drive his jaded approach to life. Maybe Hunter still had an ace in the hole:
When Chance asked Hunter
"Since when does it make any difference what I want"
Hunter's response was:
"Giving you what you want is the only thing I care about"
At last I began to understand how Hunter felt about Chance and I can't wait for Immortal Coil, the final book in the series to see how this romance ends.
Highly recommended.

Our Correspondent ● Kolkata: The opposition parties in West Bengal have urged chief election commissioner (CEC), Nasim Zaidi, to conduct assembly elections in the state in five to seven phases.
The full bench of the Election Commission (EC), led by Zaidi, today held a series of meetings with all political parties, senior government officials and district administration representatives before initiating measures for the assembly polls due next year.
"We have requested the CEC to ensure that the elections are free and fair and all necessary steps should be taken to ensure that people can vote without any fear or intimidation. We have not specified any phases as it is too early," CPI(M) state secretariat member Rabin Deb said after the meeting. Its ally Forward Bloc has demanded elections in six phases.
The Congress delegation led by senior leader Manas Bhunia too requested the EC to ensure deployment of enough central forces ahead of the polls. "We want elections in at least five phases," he said.
The BJP delegation demanded elections in seven phases. "We told the EC that a central government official must be present in every booth. We want the Bihar model of polling arrangements in Bengal," said BJP MLA Shameek Bhattacharya.
The ruling Trinamool Congress delegation, led by state parliamentary affairs minister Partha Chatterjee, said they have urged the commission to ensure that all legal voters are enlisted in the voter list that will be released on 5 January.
"West Bengal is the most tolerant state where communal harmony is beyond question," he said. State urban development affairs minister Firhad Hakim, who accompanied Chatterjee, said that the time is not yet ripe to talk about multi-phase elections.

Thank you to Nina for this one! Interesting read!-A.M.
John St. Clair Akwei vs. NSA, Ft. Meade, MD, USA
Evidence for the Lawsuit filed at the US courthouse in Washington, D.C.
(Civil Action 92-0449)
My knowledge of the National Security Agency's structure, national security activities,
proprietary technology,and covert operations to monitor individual citizens.
The NSA's mission and the NSA's domestic Intelligence operation.
Communications Intelligence (COMINT)
Blanket coverage of all electronic communication in the U.S. and the world to ensure national
security. The NSA at Ft. Meade, Maryland has had the most advanced computers in the world since
the early 1960's. NSA technology is developed and implemented in secret from private
corporations, academia, and the general public.
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)
The Signals Intelligence mission of the NSA has evolved into a program of decoding EMF waves
in the environment for wirelessly tapping into computers and tracking persons with the electrical
currents in their bodies. Signals Intelligence is based on the fact that everything in the environment
with an electric current in it has a magnetic flux around it which gives off EMF waves. The
NSA/DoD has developed proprietary advanced digital equipment which can remotely analyze all
objects whether man-made or organic that have electrical activity.
Domestic Intelligence (DOMINT)
The NSA has records on all U.S. citizens. The NSA gathers information on U.S. citizens who might
be of interest to any of the over 50,000 NSA agents (HUMINT). These agents are authorized by
executive order to spy on anyone. The NSA has a permanent National Security Anti-Terrorist
surveillance network in place. This surveillance network is completely disguised and hidden from
the public.
Tracking individuals in the U.S. is easily and cost-effectively implemented with the NSA's
electronic surveillance network. This network (DOMINT) covers the entire U.S., involves tens of
thousands of NSA personnel, and tracks millions of persons simultaneously. Cost effective
implementation of operations is assured by NSA computer technology designed to minimize
operations costs.
NSA personnel serve in Quasi-public positions in their communities and run cover businesses and
legitimate businesses that can inform the intelligence community of persons they would want to
track. N.S.A. personnel in the community usually have cover identities such as social workers,
lawyers and business owners.
Individual citizens occasionally targeted for surveillance by independently operating NSA personnel.
NSA personnel can control the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals in the U.S. by using
the NSA's domestic intelligence network and cover businesses. The operations independently run
by them can sometimes go beyond the bounds of law. Long-term control and sabotage of tens of
thousands of unwitting citizens by NSA operatives is likely to happen. NSA Domint has the ability
to covertly assassinate U.S. citizens or run covert psychological control operations to cause subjects
to be diagnosed with ill mental health.

Bright Idea – Camping E-Session Pics with Tekeah & Tron
I'm so tickled about today's feature with nearlyweds Tekeah and Tron. I remember my first and only camping trip while I was a Brownie many moons ago and let's just say I was completely over it by the time I got home. Fast forward to a couple months ago when the uber-talented photographer Leonard Poteat sent me the e-session pics you're about to view. They were snapped in Nottingham, Maryland (near Baltimore) and are oozing with creativity and most of all love and affection.
I now view camping in a totally different light. Like the last e-session I featured here, these images don't need captions as they tell a story on their own. Enjoy!

Bedrooms are fickle things.
4 comments:
I had my bed on the floor in college/grad school (honest confession time: I moved in a hurry and then was just a little too lazy to put my bed frame together....). It really didn't look that bad because my room was really together in a very non-college-student kind of way, but it was not very comfortable, honestly. Of course, I stuck with it a few years, so it must not have been uncomfortable enough to conquer my laziness...but that's really what I remember most about it. Getting up was extra hard in the morning. Haha.ReplyDelete
My bedroom is the worst... actually my whole house doesn't have any normal 90 degree corners in it, every wall is an awkward angle and it's the worst for decorating! I love that second to last picture--I would loveee to have a fireplace in my room one day!ReplyDelete
I would suggest keeping the box spring - both as a way to add a little height (I speak from experience - it's annoying trying to get on and off a mattress on the floor) and as a way to help insulate your mattress against cold floors. It'd probably help with the "grown up" look as well. If you want to do it though, go for it! The worst case scenario is you decide you don't like it. I slept on a mattress on the floor for a couple years and I wouldn't do it again. Of course, the space under my bed also doubles as storage space, which I appreciate.ReplyDelete
Well since you are a poor college student have you consider pallets? here is a lovely idea :)ReplyDelete

2017 Press Release
January 10, 2017
11th Annual No Child Left Inside® Winter Festival
Grab your winter gear, bundle up your children and join us for the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protections (DEEP) No Child Left Inside® 11th annual FREE Winter Festival at Burr Pond State Park, 384 Burr Mountain Road, Torrington. A full range of fun, outdoor winter activities for the entire family will be happening on Saturday, February 4, 2017, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Join us outdoors with family and friends, once again, for an unforgettable winter experience at Burr Pond State Park. Weather permitting, you can try your hand at ice fishing and hopefully reel in a fish, perhaps learn how to snowshoe and play winter games at DEEPs annual Winter Festival, said Commissioner Robert Klee. Year after year families reunite and spend the day outdoors, bonding with each other, meeting new friends, and participating in good old-fashioned fun.
The Festival is FREE and there is no registration required. Everyone is welcome to attend. Come out and enjoy a day full of outdoor adventure. Activities may include ice fishing, fish fry, snowshoeing, family discovery/fun area, wildlife activities, visits from Resources in Search and Rescue volunteers with their dogs, winter games, and a marshmallow roast and bonfire.
**Weather and Ice permitting** --- Ice fishing equipment and instruction will be provided by DEEPs Connecticut Aquatic Resources Education (CARE) instructors. Dress for the cold weather.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) www.healthychildren.org has some valuable tips on how to keep your children safe and warm on a cold winter day.
Dress infants and children warmly for outdoor activities. Several thin layers will keep them dry and warm. Dont forget warm boots, gloves or mittens, and a hat.
The rule of thumb for older babies and young children is to dress them in one more layer of clothing than an adult would wear in the same conditions.
Set reasonable time limits on outdoor play to prevent hypothermia and frostbite. Have children come inside periodically to warm up.
The suns rays can still cause sunburn in the winter, especially when they reflect off snow. Make sure to cover your childs exposed skin with sunscreen and consider using sunglasses.
Visit No Child Left Inside® at www.NoChildLeftInside.org to learn more and visit Burr Pond State Park at www.ct.gov/deep/BurrPond for directions.
