Harmonix Is Wiping Rock Band 4 Leaderboards Due to Exploit
Harmonix Is Wiping Rock Band 4 Leaderboards Due to Exploit
The leaderboard wipe won't impact any local saves.
In a post today, Harmonix announced that the company will be wiping the leaderboard scores in Rock Band 4 for all songs after identifying a "gnarly bug." The exploit allowed for drummers to double trigger overdrive.
"Rock Band 4 shipped with a handful of gnarly bugs, including an issue where experienced drummers can double-deploy overdrive by hitting the green 'Overdrive' gems at the end of dynamic drum fills," the post reads. "But with your help, we've identified (and are fixing) potential score exploits that compromise the integrity of our leaderboards."
The plan to fix this issue comes in three waves: first, Harmonix will fix the issue. Second, they will wipe all of the leaderboard scores for all songs. "Why? Because we're making improvements that affect almost every song, instrument, and difficulty in the game," the post explains. The leaderboard wipe won't impact any local saves. The third step in the plan involves an adjustment to the game's code that will allow the developers to address song-specific bugs and issue "targeted leaderboard wipes."
"We know that many of you have worked hard to climb the leaderboards, and that wiping your scores sucks," the post continues. "That said, these changes will ensure that in the future, you won't be unseated from the top spot by someone using an exploit. And if we do discover an issue down the road, we can address it much more quickly and easily."

Chuck Wielgus, USA Swimming Executive Director, Posthumous Induction
Charles "Chuck" Wielgus, who served USA Swimming as Executive Director for nearly 20 years, passed away on April 23 at the age of 67. Wielgus died of complications from colon cancer, which was first diagnosed in 2006. He courageously battled the cancer for more than a decade while continuing to steer USA Swimming to record growth.
Wielgus served as the Executive Director of USA Swimming since 1997 and as CEO of the USA Swimming Foundation since its inception in 2004. He was the longest-tenured chief executive of an Olympic national governing body at the time of his death. During his 19-year tenure, Wielgus led USA Swimming through an extended period of growth in what has become an increasingly competitive marketplace. Membership has surpassed 400,000 while organizational revenues and net worth have more than doubled.
His achievements also included the creation of Splash Magazine, development of strong corporate and television partnerships, creation of new properties such as the Duel in the Pool, the Golden Goggle Awards and Arena Pro Swim Series, and re-positioning the U.S. Olympic Trials from a 4,700-seat natatorium in Indianapolis in 2000 to the 14,000 seat CenturyLink Center in Omaha. The 2016 Olympic Trials drew more than 200,000 spectators, an American record for a swimming event. Wielgus also spearheaded the creation of the USA Swimming Foundation, which through its Make a Splash initiative has the goal of teaching every child in America to swim.
Wielgus' vision to promote swimming to wider audiences resulted in securing annual network television coverage of championship swimming events, including the Pro Swim Series, National Championships, World Championships, U.S. Olympic Team Trials, Pan Pacific Championships and the made-for-TV Duel in the Pool, with American swimming teams facing teams from Australia and Europe. His distinguished career included numerous awards including a 2016 National Honorary Doctorate from the United States Sports Academy.
Under his leadership, the U.S. Olympic Swim Team won an average of more than 31 medals in each of the last five Olympic Games, including 33 medals at the Rio Games. The medal count has equated to about 33% of the total Team USA count. Additionally, financial support to USA Swimming National Team athletes and coaches also increased significantly under his leadership. In addition to his work guiding organizations, Wielgus had a passion for writing and co-authored three books with award-winning writer Alexander Wolff: The In-Your-Face Basketball Book, The Fan's Book of Sport Nicknames and the Back-In-Your-Face Guide to Pick-Up Basketball.

Individual Lipstick Info
Angel -
Description on MAC:
Soft pink (Frost)
This is a really nice, soft, wearable pink. It's my all time favorite lipstick. :) It's buildable and has a very good color payoff. It's the first lipstick EVER that I'll have to repurchase.
Beachbound -
Description on MAC:
(Description is not available. This product was limited edition)
This is a very sheer, gold-orange, lipstick that is very nice and light for the summer.
Brave -
Description on MAC:
Pink-beige with white pearl (Satin)
I'd say this is a little more than just pink-beige. It seems to me this is a little darker than what "pink-beige with white pearl" would conjure up in my mind. It is however, very much a "my lips, but better" shade for me. Because it's a satin finish, the payoff is pretty opaque.
Colour Crafted -
Description on MAC:(Description is not available. This product was limited edition)
As you may be able to tell from the swatches, this color is very similar to Saint Germain. It's actually a little more on the salmon side than Saint Germain, which is a very pink lipstick. I feel like this is a statement making lipstick and not just a natural wearable shade.
Hue -
Description on MAC:
Soft pale pink (Glaze)
The one I have is broken at the bottom, so that's why my tube looks nasty, in case anyone was wondering... lol. Hue is a very nude/natural color. Especially for my skin. It's a glaze, so it has a nice finish and doesn't really NEED a lipgloss, but sometimes I like to put one over the top so it warms up the color a little.
Hug Me -
Description on MAC:
Flesh pink (Lustre)
I'm not sure who's flesh is this color, but it is a nice shade. It's actually very close to Brave, except more brown, whereas Brave is more on the pink side.
Madly Creative -
Description on MAC:
(Description is not available. This product was limited edition)
This lipstick is a very shimmery, sheer, brown-beige color. For how shimmery it is, it's still pretty wearable. It can be built up for more color if that's the desired effect.
Myth -
Description on MAC:
Pale muted peachy-beige (Satin)
This is a very bold nude lip color (for me). It looks very much like concealer on my lips. When I do a very dark smokey eye, I like to wear this with a little bit of pink toned gloss over. The payoff of this lipstick is very nice and will completely blank out your lips. It does have a semi-pink tone to it. But my skin has a lot of pink in it, so I look kind of dead when I wear it alone. Haha!
Saint Germain -
Description on MAC:
Clean pastel pink (Amplified Creme)
This is the epitome of Barbie doll pink (which sort of works for me because my name actually is Barbie... lol). This color is so pink, it practically glows. And like Myth, this will completely cover your lips. The payoff is very good. You can definitely cover up whatever natural lip tone you have with this lipstick.
Sweetie -
Description on MAC:
Ultra-sweet pink (Lustre)
This is more of a dusty-plumy rose kind of pink than what I would call "sweet" pink. It's a fairly sheer color that is buildable. It's very shiny on it's own without a lip gloss. Again, my tube is broken for this one, so I don't wear it as often as I would normally because it's a pain to put on. But the color is a very nice punched up natural color.
Viva Glam I -
Description on MAC:
Intense brownish blue-red (Matte)
Intense is definitely the right word. I'm not sure "brownish" is. It's definitely a bright, intense, blue-red though. This being a matte color let's you wear it super intense, or tone it down with a gloss. For some reason, red lips are more in your face when they're matte I think. It's a very pretty red lip color.
Viva Glam V -
Description on MAC:
Neutral pink with pearl (Lustre)
This would probably be my second place all time favorite lipstick. Pretty close anyway! It's a very nice, natural, dusty rose kind of color. It looks great with smokey eyes, and neutral eyes. It's extremely wearable. It looks like it has a gold-ish shimmer in it. It's a very nice shade!
I hope you guys enjoyed seeing swatches! I always do! It took a lot of work and time to get this together, so feedback is very appreciated!

Before I began my graduate studies, I had no idea just how important the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 was...and not just for food allergies!
In 2008, I was newly married, not a parent, completing my second year of teaching, no real knowledge of food allergies, and living in Texas (we've lived in three other states since then...I measure my time in the last decade by where we were living...). My knowledge of ADA was limited to what I needed to know to teach...which was embarrassingly scant.
Fast forward 9 years. Three states. Two kids. One Masters degree (almost!)...and a whole LOT of knowledge about food allergies later...here we are!
It has been an interesting semester. I am wrapping up two classes this semester: an independent study (that I have had the incredible fortune of doing with the professor that has made the biggest impact on my life since moving to TN), and a legal issues course (interestingly enough with that same professor). So while I never intended for the focus of my independent study to revolve around legal issues, I almost couldn't help myself in light of the fact that I am taking this other course simultaneously.
So when I stumbled upon the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA), I was amazed! This thing is a big deal! The ADAAA expanded the definition of "disability" AND rejected the holding in two Supreme Court decisions that narrowed the definition of "disability" and related terms. It also also rejected further decisions by lower courts, which "incorrectly found … that people with a range of substantially limiting impairments are not people with disabilities."
The ADAAA also took away the statute that if a disability could be treated with medication (like food allergies with epinephrine), or was episodic, it was not a disability.
As a food allergy mom of a four year old, I have taken for granted that I know for a fact that his life threatening food allergies are covered by the ADA. I did not know that it is only due to the ADAAA nine years ago. In fact, according to Shackelford, some colleges would "specifically exclude "allergies" from disability policies and guidelines and indicate that allergies are not considered a "disability" under the Americans with Disabilities Act or the Rehabilitation Act." Shackelford went on to say that "institutions whose disability policies contain exclusions for allergies are backed by a number of federal court decisions, holding that various types of allergies are not covered by the ADA. Federal courts have routinely rejected ADA disability claims based on food allergies, such as to peanuts and peanut products, and allergies to latex, dust mites, animals, perfumes and fragrances" (2009).
There is still work to be done to make college and university campuses accessible to students with food allergies, and some are doing great work (I've tried to highlight some via social media this month!). And while there is still work to be done, I am also very confident that the world today in 2017 for our food allergy children/young adults is a better place than it was 10 years ago. And that, my friends, is a very good thing.
Shackelford, A. L. (2009). Food allergies may, may not be a 'disability' under the ADA, Rehab Act. Disability Compliance for Higher Education 14(7), 3.

My name is Brittany Dye, and I am a food allergy mom and a graduate student in higher education administration at Middle Tennessee State University. These two parts of my world have collided, and I am passionate about successful food allergy management in higher education.

He attributed it to the company's focus on the right customer, local knowledge, and local innovation. "The wide lead established by Flipkart proves that a home grown Indian company can successfully fend off a 22-year global behemoth pouring in money to buy marketshare," he said.
Bansal told TOI that his figures are based on data from brands and vendors selling on the competing platforms, from logistics companies, information from marketing consultancy RedSeer, and online traffic data. Asked for its reaction to Bansal's estimates, Amazon sent the following statement: "We do not comment on speculation or rumours nor comment on any sales or revenue numbers.As a customer-focused company, we do not comment on competition, nor believe anyone externally can offer a credible comment on Amazon's internal sales numbers or any other data not in public domain."
It has been reported previously that Flipkart beat Amazon in sales this season, but the extent of the difference between the two has been unclear.

As a symbol that the US could bounce back from 9/11 and regain its global mojo, the Freedom Tower hasn't exactly worked as planned. Possibly the only "freedom" now associated with New York's twin towers replacement is budgetary: it is unofficially the most expensive office tower ever built, having now cost approximately $3.8bn (£2.3bn), almost twice the original estimate. And it's not finished yet.
This week, the Freedom Tower at least became Manhattan's tallest building, eclipsing the Empire State Building, which regained the position after 9/11. The comparison does it no favours. Opened in 1931, the Empire State Building is everything the Freedom Tower isn't: cost-effective (eventually), elegant and universally adored. It took weeks to design and less than two years to build. Simply deciding on an architect for the Freedom Tower took longer than that. Legal wrangles between the public competition winner, Daniel Libeskind, and the developer's choice, David Childs, got things off to a bad start in 2003. They pledged to work together, but Libeskind later compared the relationship to border negotiations between North and South Korea.
Architecturally, the tower's aspirations have been shackled from the outset. How could one building both symbolise the US's comeback and honour the dead of 9/11? Libeskind's initial scheme ramped up the "freedom" aspect, paying tribute to the Statue of Liberty and setting a symbolic height of 1,776ft, a nod to the year America declared independence. Somehow, that turned into the paranoid corporate obelisk we see today. There were security issues that called for fortified stairwells, blast-resistant glass and an impregnable concrete base to protect the building from street-level attacks. Not to mention political red tape, construction complications (including a "design flaw" with the loading bays that added millions to the cost), a cagey property market, delays, adjustments. The costs ratcheted up, and freedom left the building.
If the Freedom Tower represents anything, it's that bygone era when George W Bush was a credible leader, Osama bin Laden was public enemy number one, and the fear was that Wall Street would be occupied by al-Qaida rather than students protesting about financial mismanagement. The Empire State Building was also built during a recession, but back then the greatest public enemy was Al Capone. Prohibition was about to end, the New Deal was on the way, and everyone was too busy thinking about making money to agonise over the past. In retrospect, that looks like freedom.

ADA, Ohio – Ohio Northern University defeated Albion College, 3-2, in the regular season finale for both baseball teams Monday afternoon.
Devin Johnson, the Ohio Northern starting pitcher, retired Albion's first seven batters. Charlie Pasco hit a one out single in the third, but he was erased when he was caught in a rundown.
Trailing 1-0 in the fourth, Albion leveled the score on consecutive singles by Drew Olszewski, Kellan Huang and Justin Charron. The Britons took a 2-1 lead when Matt Bur hit a one out single to send Huang in to score.
Albion went on to load the bases when Riley Stesiak singled to left field. The Britons were not able to hit the ball out of the infield as Charron was thrown out at home when Pasco hit a groundball to third base and Jordyn Finney popped up to third base.
A pair of Albion errors helped Ohio Northern score twice in the bottom of the fourth and neother team scored the rest of the way.
Albion finished with 11 hits, compared to five for Ohio Northern. Bur and Finney finished with two hits apiece.
Albion (22-18) will travel to Hope College for a 4 p.m. Wednesday game in the first round of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Tournament. After the Wednesday game, the remainder of the tournament will shift to Nicolay Field at Adrian College.
Twitter: @BritonsBaseball
Joe and Julie Serra have given a $5 million leadership gift to launch a fundraising initiative to make two dreams a reality at Albion College. The first is a newly expanded fitness and student activity facility at the site of the current Dow Recreation and Wellness Center. The second is a new or renovated competition facility for the volleyball, men's basketball and women's basketball that currently call Kresge Gymnasium home.
The College is continuing to raise funds in support of both projects. To learn more, call 517/629-0446 or email email@example.com.

Brownies for Two made with deep, dark black cocoa. They make the perfect-sized dessert for you and your honey, in a matter of minutes!
If I made a list of some of the most joyous things in life, there's a few things it would absolutely have to include; Evan's cheeky smile when he knows he's up to no good, ooey-gooey, fudgy brownies, and seeing your friends' dreams come true.
Today's post is about two out of the three. Since you don't see Evan's grinning face, I think you can figure it out from there. *wink*
I've known Christina from Dessert for Two for years, though I'm not actually sure how we found each other.
What do I know? We're both proud Texans with a deep love for tortillas, pecans, and bluebonnets. That we both love to bake. And that maybe we both cried the first time we held her book, Dessert for Two, in our hands.
It's a heady thing, when a friend you hold dear in your heart has one of her dreams come true. As long as I've known Christina, I've known that she wanted to write a book.
And be on TV. And she's accomplished both those things since writing Dessert for Two. Hooray for having the courage to pursue your dreams!
But I'm here to tell you, even if I didn't know Christina from Adam, I would adore this book. The recipes are solid.
Each one I've tried has come out perfectly the first time. The directions are spot on, even for beginners.
And there are so many Southern treats throughout the book – from Divinity to Peach Pie Bars, German Chocolate Cake to Tres Leches Cake, it's all here; just sized down to two perfect servings.
True story, though: if I could choose, I'd probably choose a brownie over most any other dessert. Uncomplicated, unadulterated – just chocolate, in all its glory.
That's why the original name of this blog was Bluebonnets & Brownies. It seems only fitting that I share Christina's amazing recipe (like, you could make it every. single. night. and never get tired of it amazing) for brownies that serve just two people.
And they're not little squares, either. Big ol' restaurant-style brownies that you can top with vanilla ice cream or eat straight from the pan – your choice.
I'm pretty sure you're going to make this recipe at least once a week. Just two brownies at your fingertips, friends. It's a magical thing. And quite addicting!
Disclosure: I purchased my copy of Dessert for Two, and all opinions of the book are my own. There are Amazon affiliate links in this post. If you purchase anything after clicking the link, I will receive a few pennies for referring you over.

On a total side note, last week week we took a visit to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts and got to see a Pollock up close and personal! Just wish I could have taken a photo of it, but I didn't want to get kicked out of the museum.
In order to hang a canvas, there are a few items you will need. Most of which you can find around your house and the rest you can buy individually or get in a picture framing kit.
Eye screws
Picture wire
Picture hook
Scissors or wire cutters
Determine which side of your canvas is going to be up (because on a Pollack, it could be any way). Make sure to mark the back with which side is up. Then from each corner, measure about 1/4 of the length and mark it with your pencil. Take an eye screw and tap it into the wood with your hammer.
Once the eye screw is started, you can turn it by hand. If it's a little difficult to turn towards the end, take a screw and use it as leverage to turn your eye screw.
You should have 4 eye screws in place. Each upper corner of your canvas should look like this.
Next, you will need your picture wire. You will need it to be 2 1/2 times the length of your canvas. Start on either of the sides and loop your picture wire and then tie it off by winding it tightly around itself.
You will string it from the left side, to the top right, then to the right side, to the left top, then back to the left side. It will make a big "X" in the center from where it crosses. You will also have two triangles, one on either side.
Pull tightly (but not super tight) and tie off the end of the wire like you did the first time.
Cut off the excess with either your scissors or wire cutters. Your canvas is done and now comes the easy part. Grab your hammer and picture hook and nail it into the wall where you want your painting hung up. Then hang your canvas on the picture hook where the "X" is on the back of your canvas. The reason for the "X" is to make it easier for your painting to hang level.
It's a fairly simple process and doesn't take long at all to do.

Shirt/Dress/Shoes/Necklace: Styles For Less
Isn't this dress SOOO cute?! Another Styles For Less find!! I bought it for my cruise as a swimming suit cover up, but turns out I can dress it up a little and wear it casually too. Don't you love when that happens?!
The colors, stripes, and the fun cut of the dress is what made me fall in love.
It is Monday yet again. This week is going to be a crazy one. Getting stuff done though.

I live in Melbourne, hardly the middle of nowhere. I don't think there's much support can help with. Ill just have to leave my computer on all day and night.Hi Simon, The servers are peddling rather well, but sadly depending on your location you might not be getting the speed the server can deliver. Little we can do about this on server side, but if you contact our support we will be able to assist you.

I realize it may be a bit sacrilege to call this next recipe Greek pizzas since the only thing vaguely Greek about it is the pita bread and maybe the mint and, depending on which side of food history you're sitting on, the chickpea hummus-like spread that goes on top of the pita. I'm not … Continue reading
Cherry, Chard & Brown Rice Salad
In my book, summers are for slowing down, letting warm beachside breezes melt over you like glistening honey or swinging lazily cocooned in a hammock under a shady grove of alder trees. I was born in July, what I consider the peak of summer. Bomb pop popsicles, fire flies, watermelon, and 4th of July picnics. … Continue reading
Blueberry Curry Chicken Salad Pita Sandwiches
Blueberries are like that adorable friend we all have. Plays well with others, loved by all, always a hit at parties. I have no words to mince with blueberries. They are quite simply one of summer's darlings. One toothy bite into these plump orbs and I'm always reminded of damp woods and our Pacific Northwest … Continue reading

People often talk about creativity as being a process. The creative "process" usually comes with its cycle of laying fallow the ideas that need to percolate before they sprout up and become just right. When I was in college and aspired to be a writer, there were moments when I would be moved in a … Continue reading
Roasted Cauliflower & Sweet Pepper Salad
Certain vegetables seem to come in and out of fashion like hairstyles or bell bottoms, or God forbid, bangs. Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that's getting a lot of attention these days. I've always loved it because, probably like most of you, I grew up eating it boiled, mushy but slathered in cheese sauce. … Continue reading

Dinnertime in my house was never a fancy affair. There were nine of us so as the youngest I was lucky to get a bone tossed my way and there was never enough space at our kitchen table for all of us to eat together. It may have not been perfect, but my mother always … Continue reading

Is Laser Etching a Safer Alternative to Stickers for Labeling Produce?
Photo courtesy of Sunkist
I've always been curious about how green it is to pick up a piece of organic fruit that has two or three different stickers pasted onto it. Each piece of fruit in the pile sporting several stickers has got to add up in terms of material waste and a little boost in the carbon footprint. So, would laser etching be a greener, safer alternative? While it's been approved in a variety of countries, it has yet to make it into the US. Instead of paper stickers, there is a new, patented technology that etches the information into the fruit skin. A low-energy carbon dioxide laser beam is used instead of stickers, and it has been licensed for use on a variety of fruits and vegetables. So far, it is used in New Zealand, Australia, and Pacific Rim countries and has approval for Asia, South Africa, Central and South America, Canada, and the European Union. It will arrive in the US soon, after the FDA finishes its approval process.
There are a lot of questions that get raised, however, such as does it do any damage to the fruit or vegetables, is the etched part safe to eat or does that have to be cut away, does each store, distributor, or packing house have to have its own machine, does it use more or less energy or materials than stickers, and so on.
"Little information is available on the impact of this new technology on the overall quality of labeled produce, especially its effect on water loss and decay during prolonged storage", said Dr. Ed Etxeberria, who headed the research team comprised of scientists from the University of Florida and the USDA Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS).
After being tested on grapefruits, it seems to be a safe and effective alternative to sticker labeling, even for stored fruits, but probably won't replace it entirely, let alone very broadly in the near future.
Photo credit ARS/USDA via slashfood
According to Slashfood, a USDA official has stated that the labels won't change the taste of the etched fruits and veggies.
Jan Narciso, a research microbiologist with the USDA's Citrus and Subtropical Products Laboratory in Winter Haven, FL, states: "Not at all," Narciso says. The laser beam penetrates the outer layer of the fruit or vegetable's cells, exposing a bit of the pith. "What this does is just penetrates the few cells of that colored layer and exposes the underlying layer. So it doesn't go anywhere near the part of the fruit that you eat. It's just on the peel."

My primary position is catcher but I have played outfield and infield throughout my life. I have coached girls 8-18 years old, I believe that these young student-athletes can achieve anything with hard work and dedication, while also believing that softball should always be fun and enjoyable. If this interests you or your daughter please feel free to contact and schedule an appointment.

$35 for 60 minutes
Group Lessons TBD
*Also, I do softball work outs, if your daughter already attends lessons but wants to workout weekly close to home we can also do that too.

eBay will take its affiliate ad network in-house starting next month, dumping ValueClick's (VCLK) Commission Junction platform, which has powered the network for years. Why? eBay says the move will give its 100,000 affiliates more access to money-making opportunities across its various platforms, like Half.com. eBay will presumably save some money, too.
Will other big firms follow -- pulling business from Commission Junction and rivals like Google's (GOOG) Performics and Rokuten's LinkShare?
It's possible -- Amazon (AMZN) has successflly run its own affiliate network since 1996 -- but we don't see a trend in the making. Most companies are better off focusing on their core business than a commodity like affiliate marketing. Even massive eBay is keeping Commission Junction around to power affiliate ads for its eBay Tradera, ProStores, Media Marketplace, eBay Stores, and StubHub accounts -- and it will continue to use ValueClick's ad serving and tracking infrastructure.

>The holidays are great because not only do we get to watch great old Christmas movies, but the cable networks also capitalize on this time to run various movie marathons, from James Bond Fests to John Wayne Westerns and other themed parades of great films. Here are a few of the latest gems I've been able to catch:
"Miracle on 34th Street" (1973)
This film has been made and remade several times and this version is certainly not the best, but is still entertaining to watch because it captures the zeitgeist of an early 70s Christmas, reminiscent of my formative years growing up. Watch this with a fellow TV buff and have fun picking out all of the stars. Kris Kringle is played by Sebastian Cabot (Mr. French on "Family Affair"), Roddy McDowall as the psychiatrist ("Planet of the Apes"), Jim Backus ("Gilligans Island" and "Mr. Magoo"), David Doyle as Mr. Macy (Bosley on "Charlie's Angels"), Tom Bosley as the judge (Mr. C on "Happy Days"), and James Gregory as the District Attorney (Fish on "Barney Miller")!! ABC opened up their cavalcade of acting talent and threw them all at this camp Christmas classic. I'd stick with the original 1947 version for pure entertainment or the very well done 1994 remake, but this one is still fun for viewers like myself who grew up in the 70s and 80s.
If you like John Wayne or westerns, this is one good flick, based on a Louis L'Amor story and filmed in 1953 during the height of the Western's popularity. Here's a brief summary without any spoilers: Wayne meets rancher's wife and kid, Wayne falls in love with said rancher's wife, Wayne tussles with local Indians, everyone ends up happily ever after…that is after plenty of gun fights and positive male role-modeling!
"Jeremiah Johnson"
This 1972 Robert Redford film directed by the recently deceased and brilliant Sydney Pollack chronicles the fabled life of the 1800s mountain man named in the title. Not really a western, but still of that genre, this drama does not follow the typical Hollywood version we often see of historical figures, which makes it refreshing and interesting to watch. This film is only very loosely based on a real mountain man, but still provides some history lessons for viewers dealing with the cruel realities of life during that era and the hardships that accompanied.

Last night and this morning, the almighty Congress passed the Welfare for Welfare Bill in the United States Senate. Senators re-opened the slave pens, but the people that will be sold are not yet born. (The final vote goes through on Monday or Tuesday, but it is just a formality, really.)
True, the current working people of this country will enjoy HUGE tax increases, decreased freedoms, and oppressive regulations, but our grandchildren will be the ones tied to the whipping post for our crimes. This is the grand plan of those on the political left. They do not have to administer the beatings, they will be dead. But, while still living, they will enjoy the spoils of the votes that they have purchased.
Our founding fathers knew that this day was coming and warned against it, but the only thing that our federal government sees in the Constitution now is the right to privacy from other people, but not from the federal government, and the right to kill unborn children. They certainly do not find the right to earn and keep your own income and they certainly do not see any freedom of speech, religion, or CHOICE. They only see the government's right to stifle greatness and remove freedom.
Yes, Ayn Rand's Directive 10-289 passed the Senate and will move to a joint committee of morons now. This terrifies me for one reason, because I can no longer grow my business because I refuse to be forced to do something that I find unjust. IF I AM EVEN ABLE TO STAY IN BUSINESS.
And President Barry Obama just paid back the labor unions for their support in his quest to ruin the economy of this country. Yesterday, President Moron made sure that the contracts of his Welfare for Welfare Bill shall ONLY be performed by union employees, effectively removing eighty percent of contracting companies from even bidding on these jobs. Executive Order 13498 removes all non-union contractors from eligibility to bid on federal projects. Remember, Barry is a fascist. (You have to read EO 13202 and EO 13208 to completely understand the devastating impact this will have on JOBS.)
And with one little stroke of the moron's pen, he effectively DESTROYED what could amount to ten percent of the economy. Yes, construction is ten percent of the economy, folks. But, the debt that he owed to the criminal unions is PAID IN FULL.
Barry just did to construction, what prior governments did to automobile manufacturing. If you do not see the ridiculousness of this executive order, you are beyond helping. Plus, he did it in the dead of night, on a weekend, to hide the action. He slipped in and perpetrated this crime, just like the burglar that he is. A burglar of FREEDOM.
We are miles past the tipping point. Conservative, Liberal, Libertarian, your philosophy doesn't matter. The new president has done all in his power to become a dictator and Congress is helping. Those that voted for this guy put my head and all of my philosophical brethren's heads on the auction block.
Successful, intelligent people are now the slaves. The masters are those that have always coasted, picked up their government funding provided by my side, and then just sat around and watched television.
I cannot fathom how I remain in business with these restrictions. I know that I cannot hire anyone, I cannot afford the FORCED wages and benefits that the federal government is mandating small businesses to follow. The fact that I need to hire two people and simply cannot do it because of the federal mandates, forces me to reduce the amount of work that I perform. Or become a CRIMINAL according to the government. The government is forcing me to restrict my success or break their laws.
How stupid do you have to be to miss exactly what our government is doing to us and our families? How evil do you have to be to accept the terms?
Do these people have any clue why so many people are losing their jobs? Does it mean ANYTHING at all to them that in the past year, more companies have FLED this country to more business friendly areas in the largest flight of employment in HISTORY? Do they have any idea why with every step they take, unemployment rises in leaps and bounds? Do they even attempt to understand that the economy desires the EXACT opposite of what they are doing?
Or is it this, they know exactly what they are doing. And do not care.
Please take the time to comment.

as a tiny business owner (no, not small, just tiny) i gotta tell ya, i'm scared to death.
i made a choice to go into business for myself to allow me the FREEDOM to be with my daughter as a parent. to NOT send her off to daycare while mommy worked, to NOT miss school programs, and to be a mom like i think a mom should be.
with each new restriction, tax, and all the other crap that keeps piling up AGAINST people like myself who want to succeed, the American dream disappears just a little bit more.
and so do our freedoms.

Right before exam week, news of my grandparent passing away struck my household hard, especially with my dad. Immediately, my parents and younger sibling flew to another continent to make the funeral arrangements. I stayed at home because I was adamant on not missing my exams.
When I wasn't sleeping over and getting looked after by my relatives at my cousins', I was at home studying, relaxing and…partying. One night, I had a slumber party with some girlfriends. We stayed up late watching a movie and catching up on life. On another day, I had a potluck party with a girlfriend and a couple of guy friends. We ate delicious food, watched a movie, played a board game, failed at heating up lasagna and dressed the guys up in my clothes! I also went out for dinner and to a jazz club with my cousins downtown at night. In between all those activities, I went to the local mall whenever I felt like.
I know doing all these things while my family was out mourning for my grandparent was wrong, but had this opportunity never come, I never would've been able to experience such freedom. I didn't have to tell anyone where I was going or when I was going to return and I certainly didn't have to deal with overprotective parents. I'm glad I was able to know how being wild as a teen felt, despite my events being pretty small-scale, because I may not experience it again.

Happy Birthday to Me! Now I want Boots!
I have to get myself a present, and I've been craving a nice pair of boots. I have many winter boots in my closet, from rain boots, to snow boots, to suede boots, to black tall boots, to booties... but of course I have to start lusting after the pair I don't have.
What boot am I looking for? Not quite sure yet. I have a general idea on my mind, something with no heel, between edgy and classic, probably black, maybe combat but not too combat, if you know what I mean. Basically something I can wear every day with jeans and pants in general.
What is funny is I had a dream last night where I was telling my hubby that I wanted to get a pair of Dr. Martens. In reality, I never liked Dr. Martens, especially their yellow threading around the sole. But now that I've started looking online for these boots, I'm afraid to say that Dr. Martens has some of the closest thing to the boots I'm thinking of. Something like this:
Which has a softer look in brown:
But I'm not quite sure yet. I think I need to go out and try some on...
What do you think about Combat Boots for the "way-past twenty" crowd?

Happy Birthday to YOU, Spender! I don't think age determines boot style, so go for it! If it were in my budget, I'd go for these refined Docs: http://www.dmusastore.com/p-3582-joni.aspx or these sporty ones: http://www.dmusastore.com/p-3454-case.aspx
I own 3 pairs of boots: rubbers that I haven't worn in 5 years (the spring when it rained 40+ days straight!), black suede Steve Madden booties that I got for barely $20 and a new pair from Avon(!) for less than $40: http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?pf_id=42592 These are cute, too: http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?pf_id=42735 Yes, it does rain in Hawaii. It rained today!

Thank you Soos. :)
All good choices.
Those last boots are cute! I wouldn't think of Avon when thinking about boots, but look at that!
I'm still looking...
- Daisy said...
Hello Spender,
Happy Birthday to you!!! Caitlin must be your most treasured present in the world. Nevertheless boots are important too, especially if one has craving for them. The ones you picked out are fab, they look like they can withstand alot of vigorous walking or hiking. When keeping up with a tot one must wear comfy shoes/boots.
I suffered a setback on my way to Fashion Capital. Racing around for hours at Dodger Stadium while wearing a bad pair of shoes gave me nasty blisters. Using antibiotics to treat the venemous little excrements is unwelcome. I couldn't wear shoes since that night, not even now! I get around outside on a special slippers and crutches. Buy good shoes, even if they are more costly. Wish me luck that my poor foot regains its pre-injured state. Please do consider Spender's shoes, they look attractive and comfortable. And, they don't look like ogres that kidnap children in the middle of the night

OUCH, Daisy! I can sort of imagine your foot pain. My own feet are very tender I was ready to leave for my pedicure, when the strap on the thongs I planned to wear lossened. I put my feet into another pair which set me to limping. One of the straps cut into the side of my foot and it blistered. When I have a chance, I'll need to buy a comfortable pair!

Behringer Podcastudio USB Review
Between blogging and podcasting, it's never been easier to become famous in your particular niche. For those who think they have the golden pipes and dynamic on-air personality it takes to engage and inform an audience, Behringer has come up with the Behringer Podcastudio USB bundle – your broadcasting career starts in this lovely yellow box.
The Behringer Podcastudio USB can equip you to make quality podcasts and home recordings. The bundle comes with a studio-grade USB audio interface, 5-input mixer, a dynamic microphone (with accessories), headphones, and easy-to-navigate DAW and audio software.
UCA200 Audio Interface
The Behringer Podcastudio USB comes ready to plug in with the UCA200 USB interface. The UCA200 is a USB-powered plug and play, a high-resolution 2-In/2-Out audio interface that works well with the Windows and Mac operating systems. One thing I always like about any new audio equipment is the plug and play feature – no drivers, no installing, no waiting, no being on the phone with customer service for hours.
XENYX 502 Mixer
Clean, practical, simple, and useful. The Behringer XENYX 502 Mixer offers five analog inputs and a +48 V phantom powered preamp. The unit has a low noise level making it great for vocal work. A 2-band EQ allows users to warm up the sound, brighten tone and make adjustments as needed. Plus, separate CD/Tape and headphone outputs round out the features list.
HPM1000 Headphones
The HPM1000 dynamic headphones offer a wide range frequency response for clarity in monitoring. These quality, full-sized headphones feature a rugged, padded headband for comfort and durability. The large, oval-shaped cushioned ear cups provide excellent isolation and minimal noise leakage. Mixing, recording, and monitoring are no problems. The HPM1000s feature a single-sided cord that terminates at a 1/8-inch connector. A ¼-inch adapter is also included.
Ultravoice XM8500 Dynamic Microphone
Headphones, mixer, DAW, interface… it all comes down to the microphone. Something has to capture the signal source, and that's where the Ultravoice XM8500 dynamic vocal microphone comes in and makes the Behringer Podcastudio USB package complete. Tailor-made for broadcasting, this cardioid microphone captures front-sourced sounds and minimizes noises from the sides and back of the microphone. It has a smooth mid-frequency, perfect for vocal work, and an extremely high signal output for vocal clarity and authenticity. The wide frequency response makes for a more transparent sound, and the shock mount system minimizes handling noises.
Plenty of podcasting software is included like Audacity, Podifier, Juice, Podnova and Golden Ear, and the programs are compatible with both Mac and PC.
Also bundled is the KRISTAL Audio Engine DAW software, a multi-track recorder, sequencer and mixer that's perfect for any newcomers to the field.
At around $100, the Behringer's Podcastudio USB bundle comes with a table microphone stand, XLR cable, and two stereo RCA cables so that you only have to open the box, plug, and play, and you're on your way! – Jeff M

We released Collaborator v.1.37.0!
In the current release:
- Canceling of the assigned task via the employee profile
- Delay of assigning by automation rule
- Additional user filter – "Assignment" column
- Replacement of iceberg by funnel in success review infographics
- Gallery resource in email notifications
- Additional Settings for Birthdays
Automate the assignment of tasks and notices to beginners according to the plans, send email notification about the notices using Galleries, and change the settings of Birthday notifications dispatching! Read about these features in the new digest:
1. Canceling of the assigned task via the employee profile
When a coach needs to monitor the training of a large group of employees, it is important not to miss the nuances. For example, an employee can go on an unscheduled vacation or sick leave. He objectively does not have the opportunity to study the material assigned in time.
In order not to spoil the ratings and training statistics, the coach will have to cancel or postpone the tasks that were planned for these absent employees. It is unlikely that the tutor remembers the training plans of each staff member – it will be difficult for him to find all the assigned tasks for the absent person.
But now you can sort it out quickly – through the employee's training history. The coach needs to go to the user profile, then the training history and select the "Remove assigning".
You may go into the details of how it works with the video:
2. Delay of assigning by automation rule
We continue to expand the automation rules in the system – now you can create "assigning in N days" rule for notices, tasks or chat channels.
Same as for time access to program elements, the Administrator can create the rule according to which the task is assigned a few days after the user is activated or new attributes are set for him – city, department, etc.
We have a real example of using this setting.
A few weeks ago, the new employee joined our company – PR-manager for the upcoming event.
Read more about "El'Lab" – the first E-Learning Bootcamp – at the site and at the official Facebook page
At that moment the rules were available only in test mode.
The first three days the girl was getting familiar with the platform and corporate structure under the guidance of the mentor. She passed the familiarization course called "Mastering Collaborator" and learned about notices and poll from the relevant courses. The resource with the video tutorial on Facebook posting and an instruction for creating utm-tags appeared in her tasks in three days. It happened thanks to the "assigning in 3 days" automation rule.
In addition, two weeks after the PR manager was added to the system, the employee received the "Sales department" attribute. After that, the next automation rule triggered: the user got an access to the "CRM using" program.
Thus, you can automate not only the assigning of tasks according to the schedule, but also displaying notices for the unit or city and arranging the access to special chat channels.
Automation examples:
3. Additional user filter – "Assignment" column
With the appearance of the "Personal development plan" function, the portal administrators faced the question of how to identify those users who are assigned to the task because it is included in their individual plan? And how to distinguish this assignment from the regular one?
We added a new "Assignment" column to the "Manage user assigning for the task" page. Simply filter the users by type of assignment – "Manual" or "PDP" (Personal development plan).
We described the PDP is the previous digest:
4. Replacement of iceberg by funnel in success review infographics
Recently we conducted a survey in Collaborator Facebook group – is it worth changing the existing iceberg shape by the funnel one? Most of the group members voted for the funnel and we implemented it!
Here's how the report is graphically displayed now:
5. Gallery resource in email notifications
Did you know that you can add the image gallery of images to the notice? In 1.37.0 version you can add the gallery to the mailing and it will be displayed in the email. The user will read the text and will be able to go to the notice by the link included in the message.
See details in the video:
6. Additional Settings for Birthdays
Large companies with branches in different cities usually have a complex organizational structure. When it comes to mailing, the email groups need to be set up manually and it may take a lot of time.
Now administrators can add mailing settings for each folder separately without the organizational structure. Reminders can now be sent by one of three scenarios:
- Only by the organizational structure
- By the organizational structure + additional configuration
- Only by the additional configuration
- If you missed the last digest, you can read it by clicking on the link – Collaborator 1.36.0 – Badges, covers for resources, new level in category tree and other updates
Do you have any suggestions or a bright idea, which can make Collaborator even better? Then write to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/lmscollaborator/. And, perhaps, your idea will be realized in the next release.
Best regards,
Collaborator team.

I finally have a reasonable version of the optimisation I planned at the beginning of this project working well. Rather than requiring all the classes passed as arguments to pure methods to be immutable, I can do sufficient analysis (along with yet more annotations) to satisfy a weaker requirement. Pure method calls can safely be moved out of loops if (as before) each argument is an invariant reference and either a primitive type or an immutable class type (marked by the @Immutable annotation), but I can now detect a third case, where the following three conditions are all met:
- The reference is unique; specifically, it is a local variable annotated @Unique.
- There are no statements in the loop which change the object via the reference (i.e. no calls to const methods that are neither @Pure nor @Const).
- There is nothing to change objects referenced within the object (the class is marked as @Encapsulated)
The extra annotations (@Unique and @Encapsulated) absolve me from having to solve the aliasing problem, passing the problem onto the programmer (who hopefully understands how eir program works and where aliasing can happen) instead. The @Encapsulated annotation in the last condition is defined to mean that there are guaranteed not to be any references into the internal structure of objects of the class, so the only way to change the state of the object is by calling methods on it.
While I was testing this, I realised that my optimiser did not consider expressions on flow graph edges (which is how JKit expresses conditions in its intermediate representation) at all, neither trying to factor them nor checking them when it looks for statements that might modify an object. To rectify this I had to first compute the set of relevant edges by finding all edges in the flow graph having both source and destination within the set of points in the LoopBody region. I then used this edge set as well as the Point set when factoring expressions and when looking for expressions that might change an object.

I struggle with what to do and where to go sometimes. I get invited to, and am aware of multiple events, in which I should be interested, given my role as pastor in the community. In other words, I am "busy" most of the time and I am forced to make decisions about how I spend my time. I could not attend, even if I wanted, ALL the events. This busyness is forever, it would seem, and I am NOT forever. That's right, I must admit that I will not go on forever and that I must learn to prioritize.
I see the "busyness" of the people as well. Young or old, everyone seems to have PLENTY of things to do … every day … day after day.
My question is this, unless the church gets a high priority in, at least some people's lives, amidst all the "busyness" … can it survive?

A United States marine shot and killed a wounded and apparently unarmed Iraqi prisoner in a mosque in the former insurgent stronghold of Falluja, according to pool television pictures broadcast Monday. A Marine spokesman in Washington said the shooting was under investigation.
The shooting on Saturday was videotaped by a pool correspondent, Kevin Sites of NBC News television, who said three other previously wounded prisoners in the mosque also had apparently been shot again by the marines inside the mosque.
The incident played out as the Third Battalion, First Regiment of the First Marine Division returned to the unidentified Falluja mosque on Saturday. Mr. Sites was embedded with the unit.
Mr. Sites reported that a different Marine unit had come under fire from the mosque on Friday. Those marines stormed the building, killing 10 men and wounding 5 others, Mr. Sites said. The marines said the fighters in the mosque had been armed with rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47 rifles.
The marines had treated the wounded, he reported, left them behind and continued on Friday with their drive to retake the city from insurgents.
On the video as the camera moved into the mosque during the Saturday incident, a marine can be heard shouting obscenities in the background, yelling that one of the men was only pretending to be dead.
The video then showed a marine raising his rifle toward a prisoner laying on the floor of the mosque, but neither NBC News nor CNN showed the bullet hitting the man. At that moment the video was blacked out but the report of the rifle could be heard.
The blacked out portion of the video tape, provided later to Associated Press Television News and other members of the network pool, showed the bullet striking the man in the upper body, possibly the head. His blood splatters on the wall behind him and his body goes limp.
Mr. Sites reported that a marine in the same unit had been killed just a day earlier when he tended to the booby-trapped dead body of an insurgent.
The events on the videotape began as some of the marines from the unit accompanied by Mr. Sites approached the mosque on Saturday, a day after it was stormed by other marines.
A spokesman at Marine headquarters in the Pentagon, Maj. Doug Powell, said the incident was "being investigated." He had no other details other than to confirm that the incident had happened Saturday and that the marines involved were part of the First Marine Division.

BRISBANE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:AIMT), today announced the enrollment of its first patient in the European Phase 3 ARTEMIS (ARC010) clinical trial of AR101 for treatment of peanut allergy. AR101 is Aimmune's investigational biologic oral immunotherapy for desensitization of patients with peanut allergy.
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled ARTEMIS (AR101 Trial in Europe Measuring oral Immunotherapy Success) clinical trial of AR101 will enroll approximately 160 peanut-allergic children and adolescents ages 4-17 at multiple sites in several European countries. The ARTEMIS trial follows Aimmune's ongoing Phase 3 PALISADE trial, taking place in eight countries in Europe, the United States, and Canada.
"We have seen great interest from peanut-allergic patients and their families in becoming participants in the Aimmune clinical trials," said Prof. George du Toit, M.B., B.Ch., Professor of Paediatric Allergy at King's College London, Guy's and St Thomas' Trust. "Participants and their families are keen to potentially benefit from an investigational treatment in a disease area where there are currently no approved products, and are motivated to contribute to developing our understanding of peanut allergy and its treatment. We are all excited by the momentum in the field and the potential impact a new treatment could have on the burden of peanut allergy, which in many countries affects up to 2 percent of children." Professor du Toit is an investigator for the PALISADE and ARTEMIS trials, currently underway at the Evelina Children's Hospital, Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London.
Aimmune designed the ARTEMIS trial to expand the data on the level of and speed to clinically meaningful modulation of the immune response to AR101 treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint for ARTEMIS is tolerating a 1,000-mg single dose of peanut protein (the equivalent of approximately three to four peanut kernels) in a progressive, exit double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) after approximately nine months of treatment.
"Desensitization to a threshold of at least 1,000 mg of peanut protein would protect peanut-allergic patients from severe reactions following an inadvertent bite of a peanut-containing food. Achieving high levels of protection quickly and reliably is important to patients," said Sue Barrowcliffe, General Manager of Aimmune Europe. "In a Phase 2 study of AR101 conducted in the United States, the majority of patients met the endpoint we have set for ARTEMIS, after nine months of treatment. We hope to confirm these findings with a larger patient population in ARTEMIS, which along with PALISADE will provide the key efficacy and safety data to support our potential initial marketing authorization application for AR101 in Europe."
The enrollment criteria for ARTEMIS allow inclusion of peanut-allergic patients who react to 300 mg or less of peanut protein in an entry DBPCFC. For more information about the ARTEMIS trial, please see: https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT03201003.
About Aimmune Therapeutics

The company's Characterized Oral Desensitization ImmunoTherapy (CODIT™) approach is intended to achieve meaningful levels of protection by desensitizing patients with defined, precise amounts of key allergens. Aimmune's first investigational biologic product using CODIT™, AR101 for the treatment of peanut allergy, has received the FDA's Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the desensitization of peanut-allergic patients 4-17 years of age and is currently being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials.

Although it may seem like the stuff of science fiction (or nightmares), implanting "wearable" electronics on or under your skin may soon become a reality.
This isn't just about outliers, like the guy who implanted headphones in his ears or that other guy with a flash drive in his prosthetic finger. The folks driving these initiatives are fairly mainstream, though their futuristic take on personal electronics may seem provocative—or downright repulsive.
One biohacking concept is called Project Underskin, headed by Gadi Amit, the same designer behind such popular game-changing lifestyle technology as Fitbit, the Lytro camera and Google's Project Ara. In a Wired Health talk last year, he outlined a vision for what he called an "introvert user interface" that displayed contextual symbols with meaning only to the wearer and could be used in a variety of financial, relational and other transactions.
Above the skin, the "humble gods" at creative development agency Chaotic Moon have designs on components strategically strewn amongst conductive paint right on your person. These tech tats have a couple of immediately powerful applications. Such "biowearables" could be used in place of an annual physical to monitor medical data and keep your doctor appraised. Or in banking, as a more foolproof digital wallet. (Kind of gives new meaning to the term "paying in person.")
How would you feel about literally becoming apart of technology?
