Marie Antoinette
I went out to lunch with Mum today, so I decided to wear this dress:
We went to a small cafe in East Gosford called taste. There was a bit of a wait, and the food wasn't the greatest, but it was nice being out of the house.
It's really weird having some days off. Don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying it, but, most days I don't see the point of getting dressed/ use the smallest excuse to leave the house to dress up.
I also really didn't choose the right clothes for the temperature. It was really hot today, but I was tricked into believing it was coldish because my Mum likes keeping the house at Arctic Temperatures.

Harp is a lager style beer whose home brewery is called the Great Northern Brewery and is located in Dundalk, Co. Louth in the Republic of Ireland, which is strategically located about half way between Dublin and Belfast. Harp was first introduced in 1960 as a result of the efforts of a consortium of six different breweries in Ireland and the United Kingdom. During the 1950s, lighter pale lagers from Europe, such as the Dutch Heineken and the Danish Carlsburg had made serious inroads into the markets of Ireland and the UK, nations known for their heavier, darker ales. To answer this challenge, the Dundalk brewery was purchased and a brew-master from Germany, Herman Muenster, was brought in and charged with the task of creating a "continental" style lager using Irish resources. Harp Lager was the result.
Today, there is an element of romance associated with Harp, and that is nearly entirely due to its associations, perceived or real, with the brewing legend Guinness. The fact of the matter is that Harp is less a Guinness product than an acquisition made by Guinness. It is true that Guinness was one of the original six owners that purchased the Great Northern Brewery for the purpose of creating Harp, but it was not involved in the creation of the beer or the management of the brewery. Over the course of time, Guinness did ultimately obtain sole ownership of Harp, and at least in North America, Guinness and Harp were frequently marketed together, leading many to believe that Harp was brewed by Guinness and was actually just a lager version of Guinness. Since the Diageo group purchased Guinness, Guinness and Harp are no longer marketed together, but Harp is still prominently advertised as being "from the brewers of Guinness."
Recent controversies have arisen regarding Diageo's marketing strategies regarding Harp. In Ireland and the UK, a completely new logo has been created and conspicuously absent is the Brian Boru harp that had been the symbol of Harp since its inception in 1960. In North America, however, the Boru harp remains, but the beer's misleading labeling in the US has been a source of some consternation. In the US, Harp Lager is prominently labeled as an imported beer, and while technically this is true, one needs to read the fine print on the reverse side label to learn that it is not imported from Ireland, but Canada. Harp is brewed in three locations, the third being in Manchester.
Which brings us to the beer, itself. Historically, Harp has always promoted its lager as being "sharp." Some people would characterize this as crispness; I describe this quality as having "bite." No matter the nomenclature, some have questioned the "sharpness" of today's Harp. For me, I was satisfied with Harp's characteristic "bite." I was also able to get a pleasant looking frothy head on top a nicely golden beer which created some very nice lacing all the way to the bottom of the glass. In regards to the beer's ingredients, Harp Lager does not have its own website, and the Diageo site is not at all forthcoming. That said, I'm tasting a straightforward full-bodied beer without any adjunct ingredients like rice or corn. Also, there is no hint of fruit, just a straightforward beer. I'm not getting any of the floral quality that one usually gets from Noble hops. In regards to alcohol, Harp sits on the strong side of the scale, measuring 5% (ABV). For a pale lager, Harp has an unusually heavy taste, so it stands in stark contrast to a Bohemian style pale lager, such as Pilsner Urquell.
In regards to food, because of its heavy northern European quality, I would recommend Harp almost exclusively for red meats. A burger, a steak, what have you, maybe some of the meatier American Southwest dishes. I would dissuade anyone from drinking Harp with a pasta, pizza, poultry or fish meal. The beer would simply overwhelm the food.

Step 1: Stare at mess and cry.
Step 2: Procrastinate for 1-3 days.
Step 3: Step over mess while getting stressed about mess.
Step 4: Realise you need to do something about the state your place is in.
Step 5: Start in a corner of the untidy vision while watching Netflix. Film ends, tidying has not started.
Step 6: Put music on instead so not to distract from the task. Crazy dancing occurs, tidying has not.
Step 7: Try doing it without any form of entertainment. Take "deserved" nap.
Step 8: A week later actually get it done finally and forever.
Step 9: Feel how good a tidy room and house is. Make vow that you will never let it get this messy again.

If they want to help on the project they can get in touch with me :)
I can't wait to play this all the way through when completed
Thanks very much, I'm also really looking forward to that day as well, Especially when we have the online\local play working with co op and deathmatch :)
Great work guys. Please don't stop working on this mod. It is people like you who change the world!
Are you gonna include Final Doom (TNT or Plutonia Experiment) or Master Levels?
If we had more mappers probably. At the moment there is only me, Brent can and has done maps in the past, But he's currently too busy to take on that kind of work. mainly i'd like to include the "No more room in hell" maps of doom 2 that idSoftware did for the xbox version of Doom 3
E1M10 is planned as well which is from the Xbox version of Doom 3 :)

Couldn't load default.cfg
that's a very odd error :( seems like you have standard Doom 3 but what I find striking is that the game doesn't recognise the command "vid_restart" at the end, Have you Doom 3 patched to 1.3.1?
I'll test it soon :)
Got this Error Message:
ERROR: The current video card / driver combination does not support the necessary features.
I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT/GTO 256MB
Do i need a better graphic card?
No you shouldn't need a newer card, Doom 3 came out a LONG time before that card, But that is a very odd message, Your error message should read more like the one above, Can you copy the error message you received and comment in Doomreborn form at www.DoomRebornGame.com/forum also are able to run Doom 3 and if so are you using any other mods and did you launch using the DoomReborn.exe or the Doom 3.exe
Also there is only 1 thing I can think of that may be stopping you from playing and that's the setting in the "Autoexec.exe" I created which has a video card setting "com_videoram 2048" but having this setting too high should not prevent the game from launching
I've would been wondering if i needed a new card, but i dont know if they were new improvements
I shure hope you guys included plutonaia experiment and TNT
Not yet, But maybe after Doom 1&2 are finished, just like they where done back in the day :)
Оружие останется с DOOM 3 или будет классическое?
Weapons will remain with DOOM 3 or classic?
We are looking the original weapons remade, we need a skilled weapon modeller with idtech 4 experience to help us with that. :)

I was lucky enough to have Simon Annand take my headshots in London.
His wonderful work can be seen in his book The Half: Photographs of Actors Preparing for the Stage.
One of my shots from our session has been featured in the Actor's Yearbook 2014, published in the UK, in Simon's ad.
Mostly, I'm thrilled because it's the closest I've ever been to Benedict Cumberbatch. (Swoon).

Valentine's Day Hearts
On Friday I lead a group of kids and their parents in a little sewing craft. We made hearts with craft felt and buttons. This one was made by my Brother's little boy who is 8. Wow, I was impressed with how he did and all the other kids too. We had both boys and girls and they each had a parent to help them.
We had snack time too. That was good.
I did not get all of them in the photo but this was most of them. They are planning to give them to some kids in the far north. It was a fun evening. We are planning to do tie dye T shirts in the spring.

Article originally published in June 2007
Radio/Press Interview with
The Planetary Group,
Boston, MA June 2007
Planetary: Ok, let's start from the beginning. What is your name and what do you play?
Adam Zwig: Adam Zwig, play guitar and sing, also bass and keys on some recordings
PL: What's your age?
AZ: Not as old as the music industry's obsession with youth but as old as people's yearning for liberation
PL: How many years have you been playing music?
AZ: Started playing guitar at 10 and never stopped
PL: How many different (and which) instruments do you play?
AZ: Play guitar - acoustic, electric, slide, dobro and also some bass, keys, drums
PL: Are there any genres that influence your music conceptually, rather than sonically, meaning that you can't hear from simply listening to your music, but from getting into the structure or mathematics of the song-writing?
AZ: I guess I've always been drawn to more old-time music, dusty music of the earth, like blues, and folk sea shanties, civil war songs, cowboy songs, songs of lament, church house songs, anti-Jim Crow songs, union songs and blues ballads, and driving hard blues - make you question what you've always accepted, had power of spirit behind them, could litter the landscape with broken hearts but also transport you to a liberated consciousness. Blues and folk can show you how to live. I started as a bluesman and always return to this emotional and spiritual source. Folk adds a more social consciousness but they both come from this deep archaic need to acknowledge those feelings and yearnings we tend to overlook.

The Rational Argument Against Batfleck
A big part of me feels for Ben Affleck, and sympathizes with those who have stepped up to defend his casting as the next Batman. The news that the Oscar-winning director will play Bruce Wayne in the forthcoming sequel to Man of Steel was greeted with a groundswell of negativity. Though I'm not elated with the choice, the vast majority of that negativity seems to be rooted in nothing other than knee-jerk fanboy reactionaryism. To put it another way: people just don't like Ben Affleck because ... I don't know why? Because he's good looking? Because he was in that awful music video with Jennifer Lopez? Because like almost every other big Hollywood star he's been in some terrible movies? (Seriously, Johnny Depp has been in four Pirates of the Caribbean films and The Lone Ranger -- really, really bad movies -- and it's hard to imagine this type of reaction if he was named the next Dark Knight. Do people just not like Affleck's face or something?)
Whatever the reasons for detesting this news, almost none of them seem to be rational -- one of the worst, by far, being that he was terrible in Daredevil, a film that came out a decade ago, has no bearing on the role he's taking on and for which, y'know, a whole bunch of other people were responsible, including a director and screenwriters (aka the people who actually have the most influence on its quality).
So, yeah, Patton Oswalt, when you say this of Affleck, you make a great point:
Ben brushed himself off, realized he'd kept his eyes open on the movies he'd done, and started directing. And he's become a damn good one.
A Batman portrayed by someone who's tasted humiliation and a reversal of all personal valences -- kind of like Grant Morrison's "Zen warrior" version of Batman, post-ARKHAM ASYLUM, who was, in the words of Superman, "...the most dangerous man on the planet"? Think for a second and admit that Ben Affleck is closer to THAT top-shelf iteration of The Dark Knight than pretty much anyone in Hollywood right now.
But the thing is Affleck's personal story of redemption also doesn't have much bearing on what he's getting himself into. I guess he might be able to channel some of it into his iteration of Bruce Wayne, but making Argo isn't exactly the same as becoming a crime-stopping vigilante after watching your parents get gunned down.
My discomfort with Affleck as the Caped Crusader stems from the fact that he's never displayed the necessary darkness to fill the cape and cowl of the Batman director Zack Snyder seems intent on bringing to the big screen. And while we've now wandered well into conjecture at this point, Snyder has strongly hinted that this Batman will be inspired by the one Frank Miller wrote in the seminal graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns. If that doesn't mean much to you, just know that that Batman is an extremely dark one -- a much darker one than the one Christian Bale portrayed in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.
Who knows? Maybe Affleck has never gotten to play that type of character before and is perfectly capable. Maybe this is his eff-you moment, as Grantland columnist Bill Simmons wrote this week:
On the face of it, Affleck taking a massive risk like this makes no sense whatsoever. He just spent the past six years rebuilding his career, reestablishing himself as an A-lister and completing one of the greatest comebacks in Hollywood history.
But here's the thing …
I don't think it was enough for him. I think he's still in "Eff You" mode from all the abuse he took during the Bennifer era, for people writing him off, and for the Academy not giving him that Best Director nomination for Argo. And obviously, he's been on fire with career decisions for the last few years and feels like he can't do anything wrong. So this is part hubris and part "Eff You" — Affleck knew taking that Batman part would be polarizing, he knew he didn't need it financially or professionally, and he didn't care. If he pulls it off, now it's not just one of the great Hollywood comebacks ever, it's THE GREATEST Hollywood comeback ever.
I certainly can't doubt Affleck's judgment much these days. But I also don't have to bestow upon him blind faith. (Ditto for Snyder, who has his flaws as well.) Yes, I'm quite concerned about The Batfleck. Unlike the folks who have been hyperventilating about this for no good reason, I'm happy to be proven wrong. I even think there's a decent chance I might be. But that doesn't mean I'm hopeful.

When i plug the hose into the thru wall skimmer port and begin vacumming the pump gets ahead of of thewater flow thru the hose and begins surging followed by the lid blowing off the skimmer. SWIMMING POOLS OF TUPELO responded with "I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN BEFORE" and no help. Anybody know the cause?

Saif Ali Khan enjoys at music Launch of Go Goa Gone
The music launch of Go Goa Gone was a fun affair. It was unveiled at Enigma, Hotel J W Marriott in Mumbai on 18th April 2013.bollywood Updated: Apr 19, 2013 17:52 IST
The music launch of Go Goa Gone was a fun affair. It was unveiled at Enigma, Hotel J W Marriott in Mumbai on 18th April 2013. Present were actors Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu, and Puja Gupta along with the director duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, music directors Sachin and Jigar, lyricist and singer Priya Panchal and the producers Dinesh Vijan and Sunil Lulla also marked their presence. There was live performance by the zombies and Priya and music directors Sachin and Jigar at the music launch but the highlight of the evening was the jam session of Kunal, Sachin- Jigar, Raj & DK on Babaji ki Booti.
"All the tracks of the album have something different to offer. We have a Monday anthem - Khooni Monday which is about Monday blues. Then BabaJi Ki Booti which has been sung by actors, music directors and us. We have a Boris lingo song, I Keel Ded Peepul featured on Saif. So we have an eclectic mix in the album and we are happy with all the positive feedback we are getting. Music is the hero of the film and Sachin-Jigar have given their best," say director duo Raj and DK.
Every song from the album makes on want to groove and at the same time they are perfectly aligned with the story of the film. There are 5 tracks in the album namely - Slowly Slowly, Babaji Ki Booti, I Keel Ded Peepul, Khoon Choosle, and Khushamdeed. Priya and Amitabh Bhattacharya have penned the lyrics. Music is always a very integral part of Hindi cinema and to make an out of the box film and not have the right kind of music can be quite a clincher.
Saif and Dinesh have produced Go Goa Gone under their banner Illuminati Films along with Sunil Lulla of Eros International. The Zombie comedy is slated to release on May 10, 2013. The music label of the film is Sony Music.

Southern Fried Chicken
Southern Fried Chicken Ep 4 Chef Race
Recipe Type: Entree
Cuisine: American
Author: Caroline Artiss
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 8 mins
Total time: 23 mins
Serves: serves 4
This is the Southern fried chicken recipe I made at Tapwerks bar in Oklahoma City for all the staff to say thanks for having us. Their chef approved!
4 chicken breast fillets butterflied (you can use thigh meat too)
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup Plain flour
- 2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 2 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp thyme
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tbsp onion powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- Wet Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cup Buttermilk
Enough oil for frying
- Prepare the chicken:
- To butterfly the chicken breast simply use a sharp knife to cut through the middle of the breast until you nearly get to the end and then fold over so it is now thinner and double the width
- Or just cut the breast so it is thinner and takes less time to fry
- You can also use chicken on the bone but just be sure to adjust the cooking times as it will take longer
- Heat enough oil in a large sauce pan to deep fry the chicken
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl
- In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and butter milk together
- Dip each chicken breast first into the flour mix, then the egg mix and then back into the flour mix I always do this to get a lovely coating on each piece of chicken
- Once the oil is hot carefully place the chicken breast into the pan
- Cook for approx 6 – 8 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken
- The thinner it is the less time it will take to cook
- Take out once cooked and place on kitchen towel to soak up excess oil
- Serve hot
My tips on deep fried chicken: Try not to over crowd the chicken in the fryer. If you don't have a big pan just cook one or two pieces of chicken at a time. If you put too many pieces in at once it will reduce the temperature of the oil and they wont come out nice and crispy. You need the oil to be hot so the coating gets crispy and doesn't absorb too much oil.

Maurice Sendak died this last Tuesday.
Of all the famous people we met during the NU SHOOZ years, he was the one I was most excited about. I have a picture taken with him in the green room at Good Morning America. Our appearance never aired due to some crisis in the World, but it didn't matter. I got to meet the guy that wrote 'Where the Wild Things Are.' Maurice Sendak gave us a masterpiece that will live forever. Meeting him was the thrill of a lifetime. Martin Scorsese said the best art tells us about what it's like to be human. 'Where The Wild Things Are' does that and more. We are all MAX. Thank you Maurice Sendak.
Go where the Wild Things go.

The remarkable growth of Android in the past year is no mere temporary surge, and will accelerate, giving Android half of the smartphone market, leaving the iPhone in the dust. So concludes a Piper Jaffray report, which says that the iPhone will be left with from 20% to 30% of the market versus more than 50% for Android.
The report concludes that Google's strategy of working with multiple device makers and service providers is what will put it over the top. By the end of 2010, Android will be just barely behind the iPhone --- 14.9% to the iPhone's 15.9%, the report concludes. But by 2012 Android will be well ahead of the iPhone, 23.2% to the iPhone's 17.6%.
After that, it's all Android. ZDNet's Larry Dignan quotes the report as saying:
"Ultimately, we believe Android is likely to control over half of the smartphone market in the next five years. Apple's essentially two phone focus (low price 3GS and higher price 4) will likely limit how much of the market Apple can control and we believe ultimately Apple's smartphone market share tops out between 20-30%."
Apple, though, will still generate significant revenue, with more than half the profits in the smartphone industry. Also, keep in mind that Google gets no revenue from sales of Android devices, because it gives away Android for free. Its money comes from advertising and services. By 2012, Google will get more than $1.35 billion annually in revenue from Android, though, so it will be a big money-maker.
As for Nokia and RIM, the report says that they'll be left to fight for a small percent of the market. The report also says that ultimately, one or both of them may give up its own proprietary software, and instead turn to a third-party --- either to Android or Windows Phone.
This story, "Report: Android Poised to Dominate the iPhone, Grab Half the Smartphone Market" was originally published by Computerworld.

The Filipino Videoke Culture
Our love affair for Videoke or Karaoke goes back many generations. It's a love/hate, really. There is almost not a day that a contact will not rant about a neighbor's speaker blasting on their videoke session on Facebook. The love affair of Filipinos with music may have a lot to do with our being musically-inclined. It has become our way of life that whether or not we have trained voices, we feel that we have the liberty to just belt out as we wish. It's a free country, really. But we also need to be considerate. (more…)

This post is coming a little later than I wanted it to, but since Cynwise posted "On Revelations" before a field trip, I ended up forgetting about it until just recently. I originally wanted to reply to Cyn's post in the comments but it ended up morphing into something much larger.
Reading Cynwise and Vidyala's stories (here and here) about what they enjoy playing, and figuring out what they want to play was very interesting to me. I play a priest, and have played her for a long time; first as shadow back when we only did 1400 dps but returned mana for the mages and warlocks, and now as a healer. I also play a druid tank, who has been around as long as the priest. I've had many internal battles over which character I wanted to play, but there's just something about those two roles that I can't quite get anywhere else.

Hunter-Reay, Andretti get 1-2 finish for team
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) Will Power said he came in expecting to be chasing the Andretti Autosport drivers around Barber Motorsports Park.
Turns out that's exactly what happened with Ryan Hunter-Reay winning his second straight Indy Grand Prix of Alabama on Sunday and Andretti teammate Marco Andretti taking the No. 2 spot on the permanent road course. The race finished under caution, leaving the two Andretti drivers to lead the pack to the finish line.
"To do it in that style where at the end of the race we were pulling away was thrilling," said Hunter-Reay, who picked up his 12th IndyCar win.
It was well worth the wait after his Long Beach race ended badly two weeks ago. Not to mention a 2-hour, 26-minute rain delay that left a timed race going 69 laps instead of the scheduled 90.
The last four were under caution after rookie Mikhail Aleshin lost control and went off the track. The results left the 2012 Alabama race where neither Hunter-Reay nor Andretti finished in the top 10 well back in the rear view mirror.
"It was a huge race for us," Hunter-Reay said. "This track used to be one of our weakest points, so to come here and put an Andretti 1-2 up is pretty impressive. And it's a total team effort. Everybody's been working really hard together to move in the same direction. It's been a very strong start to this season for this team overall."
Hunter-Reay's aggressive attempt to pass Josef Newgarden at Long Beach led to a collision that caught up seven cars.
At Barber, Scott Dixon was third, followed by Simon Pagenaud and Power, a two-time winner at Barber who made his statement about the Andretti team after capturing the pole.
TIMED RACE: Dixon and Andretti, at least, weren't fans of timing the race, which was limited to 1 hour, 40 minutes after the delay.
"The race should be the full distance," Dixon said. "To have to shorten these races for TV, you know, I understand the difficult predicament that everybody is in, but these are championship races. They all pay the same amount of points.
"You decide to take 30 laps off them … I think it changes strategy a lot and you're constantly chasing that window. Then ultimately you finish on a caution, too, which is also a bit of a bummer for the fans. In the future, hopefully we can find a way around that."
Andretti's response: "I don't think I could have said it much better."
CHARLOTTE'S WEB: Power had a slight but costly misjudgment in the tight Turn 5, which is dubbed Charlotte's Web because of the huge spider sculpture at the spot.
"I kept creeping my braking point a little bit further and further, and I went too far," Power said. "It's tough to not push past the limits with wet patches everywhere. We really didn't have the pace in the dry anyway, but that sure didn't help our cause when I went off course."
Hunter-Reay said there's no margin for error on that turn.
"It was a very fine line between getting it all right or getting it all wrong," he said. "Any guy that's been in an IndyCar on the Web will tell you that's how it is. You've got to go up the risk side to the get the reward out of it, but it's really easy to throw it all away."
ROOKIE PROBLEMS: Aleshin was left to walk back to pit road while the rest of the field finished and was second to last. Earlier Sebastien Bourdais had spun the Russian from behind, leaving him stalled. Bourdais received a drive-through penalty for avoidable contact.
Fellow rookie Carlos Munoz's race ended after 29 laps because of mechanical problems.
NO BRIDESMAID: Dixon had finished each of the first four Barber races in second place, but dropped one spot this time.
"We went the wrong way, but it was an interesting day," he said.
PENSKE: Team Penske's Power and Helio Castroneves had won the first three races at Barber. Power started from the pole for the third time Sunday.
That left his fifth-place finish a subpar performance for him on the road course. Castroneves, meanwhile, received a stop-and-go penalty for stopping in the wrong pit and finished 19th, 13 spots behind where he started.
Dixon grumbled about Castroneves getting only a warning after jumping on an early restart.
He said that "seems to be typical of him, which is frustrating because he doesn't seem to get a penalty for it."

Mark Zuckerberg has done a good job, thanks to the help of his PR team, of brushing off Facebook Phone rumors to a point that we in the media just haven't given up on. But lo and behold, Facebook has sent out invitations to a press event on April 4 to "Come See Our New Home On Android." Speculation says we can expect to see an Android OS tweaked to Facebook's liking on an HTC handset.
Deny as Facebook may, the social network stole away key Apple iOS developers and just about every "Facebook insider" can't keep their mouths shut. And at the same time, looking at Facebook's recent releases should more than hint it's going all-in on mobile: Poke, Facebook Messenger, and the Instagram acquisition. This upcoming announcement likely has something to do with Facebook pushing its Web app to the wayside and forcing developers to access Facebook through their mobile devices to concentrate on its mobile products. The Facebook's future hinges on mobile, and clearly we're about to see to what extent.
Recent reports have pretty much figured out what the phone will look like. 9to5Google's sources say it will feature a beveled design with rounded edges, something of a nod to Apple's iPhone, and that there will be a Facebook home button. The last feature shouldn't be news to you if you've ever seen previous (failed) smartphone collaborations with HTC and Nokia. Earlier "Facebook phones" like the HTC ChaCha and Nokia Asha 205 both had a prominent Facebook home button. The size of the display is rumored to be 4.3 inches.
The phone is suggested to run a 1.5Gz processor, 1GB of ram, 16GB of storage, along with a 5 megapixel rear camera and 1.6 megapixel camera on the front. according to UnwiredView.
Hardware is likely an afterthought of the Facebook phone, however. What Facebook wants to do with this device is sell is the experience and solidify itself as a lifestyle brand.
It also gives Facebook an unprecedented amount of access to even more of our data and user habits. It has access to your calendar, contacts, what time you're most active on your phone (maybe to ping you with alerts), location, along with mounds and mounds of other data. This is information that Facebook has been trying to get us to provide – but with the phone, it wouldn't have to try. It would already have it all.
This resurrects the digital age old question of how willing we are to let Facebook into our lives. The social network is no stranger to privacy concerns, and handing over all our mobile data is asking quite a lot. The device's success will hinge on what Facebook can offer us in return.

Elusive People
Membership in Mayflower Society or NSDAR
Has anyone in your group completed membership for the Mayflower Society or NSDAR through the ancestors of Joseph Bisbee and Zebiah Cook? I am descended from them and have 11 blood relatives that were on the Mayflower, as do many of the Bisbees descended from this line. I was starting to put together an application and hoped someone else had already done it, at least up to Joseph Bisbee.
Looking for Robert Riley Bisbee
I have recently received information that my adopted grandfather's birth name was Robert Riley Bisbee. He was adopted in March 1914, in Lincoln, Nebraska by John Madison Kisner and Clara Belle Kisner. He was raised in Minnesota, and spent most of his adult life in Waterloo area of Iowa. He was born in November 1911, I don't have his parent's names or his birthplace. He was under the control of the Board of Control for Dependent Children at the time of his adoption. If anyone has any information that could shed a light on his lineage, we would be most grateful. Thank you! Lisa Kisner Osslund firstname.lastname@example.com

Dr. Walter Frank Bisbee, Camden, Maine
From Jill Morton of Rockport, Maine, 2012.
"I am not related to Walter, but I have been researching him and his family for some time now. He and his family lived in our community and donated to our town and schools very generously. One of the things he left behind in his will was a trust fund to our local school that has been very wisely managed and continues to benefit our school tremendously even now, 75 years after his death. I have been on a mission to research him for the purpose of having the school add a tribute/memorial of him in the school to show the appreciation for the wonderful gift he left us. I work for the school, and find it sad/disappointing that people do not know the origin of "The Bisbee Fund" and I would like to change that.
"I have gathered quite a bit of info about Walter, but would welcome any info you could provide to me. I am especially interested in finding a photo of him....if you know of any resources where I could check for this I would greatly appreciate it."

Dean Murphy joins me to discuss creating math challenge game Number Tap. Relatively new to development, Dean used the Corona SDK to build the app and learn programming fundamentals.
Dean is a hobbyist developer from the North-East of England with dreams of going pro one day.
Dean is a hobbyist developer from the North-East of England. He's been learning to program in his spare time for a couple of years. Professionally, Dean does server support & administration in the public sector, but he got started on this journey with only some basic web scripting experience. In his spare time, he now creates apps & games for himself and on a freelance basis to sharpen his programming skills, with a view to eventually change careers to developing full time.
Number Tap is a fun, quick paced, math game of racing against the clock to get answers right, and earn more time.
Originally created by Dean as a fun way to encourage his nephew's studies in math, Number Tap is a fun, quick paced math game where you solve math questions that get increasingly harder to prevent the timer from running out. Number Tap is perfect for children to improve their math skills in a fun way. With Game Center Support they can even compete with online leaderboards and hunt for achievements. Number Tap's simple & quick gameplay is a great tool to train your brain with. By straying away from conventional multiple choice style quiz games, and no pause button, Number Tap offers a truly unique game play experience.
Number Tap is the third app, and first game Dean created.
Dean had only been programming for 5 months when he first started this app. Coming from his server side and web backend experience, he created Number Tap by leveraging the Corona SDK, a 3rd party framework to create mobile apps for Android & iOS, with the Lua scripting language. He's since arranged to have it translated into several languages, and also ported Number Tap to Android only a few months after launching for iOS. Dean tells us some of the interesting challenges that porting the game to Android presented, especially with user expectations on certain hardware features. He also details some of his creative strategies in ensuring Number Tap always had accurate answers.

Why not just go into LC#3 next week, and hit CR#2 at > the F2F? I can see my email can be interpreted as "we must wait until the f2f before agreeing to changes" but what I meant is more like "let's make that the deadline for any LC#3 changes". Naturally, we should try to get consensus on all CR issues as soon as we can. Give the July CR says it will not end until November 1, it would seem a bit strange if we published a new LC before then. Given this and the publication moratorium around the TPAC time frame, I think Nov 10 is the first publishing opportunity. Perhaps one of the Team members can provide some guidance on the rules and/or precedence for that. -Regards, Art BarstowReceived on Thursday, 1 October 2009 10:42:19 UTC

Britain's last chance of a fencing medal came and went at the ExCeL - but how they gave it their best efforts against top seeds Italy.
The Italians, Olympic champions six times, survived to the semi-finals by a 45-40 margin.
Richard Kruse, James Davis and Husayn Rosowsky had beaten Egypt 45-33 to reach the quarter-finals and after Laurence Halsted replaced Rosowsky were level 35-35. Kruse went into the last bout against Andrea Baldini trailing 38-40, but Italy's losing semi-finalist in the individual event saw them through.

I just love it when a client sends me photos of one of my paintings in their home or office. I feel such a connection with each and every person who buys a piece of my art. They are getting a small piece of my heart and each piece represents a period of time in my life that is filled with memories or emotions from those painting sessions. This piece in particular has special meaning for me because of the family it went to. I met them when they lived in Bend and due to circumstances beyond their control, they needed to move to back to Tucson, AZ for their daughter's cancer treatment. The family picked out this piece to represent their time in Bend and to represent our special friendship. It's a special piece for both of our families.
One more photo of "Birches" in it's beautiful new home. It's a perfect fit!

The Parachute Hopper can be fished in rough water, near banks, or wherever fish may hold. It is wise to include several sizes in the fly box.

Comar to advise on IP issues to national Ghanaian research laboratory
Comar Law legal director D. Inder Comar has been engaged by Ghana's premier national research institution to advise on intellectual property matters.
The engagement will focus on intellectual property best practices in the space of agricultural research.
The effects of globalization and climate change have placed increasing pressure on countries to develop new forms of food and agricultural production.
Ghana is party to several international treaties with respect to intellectual property protection and licensing. Compliance with international IP law, and integration of licensing best practices, will permit the country to enjoy the rights associated with intellectual property development, licensing and development.
The engagement will have an on-the-ground component, with Mr. Comar working in Kumasi, Ghana, for approximately 10 days.

Does Chinese Medicine Really Work?/
There're an abundance of healing modalities. Ayurvedic medicine, ancient medicine, herbology, homeopathy, vibrational healing, the list can go on forever. Among them all I first chose Chinese Medicine because it brought me back from depression to living life more whole. Chinese medicine improves the flow of energy throughout our body using an array of modalities within its own practice. It also helps the body achieve health through balance as we evolve into the process of getting in touch with our true selves.
Acupuncture us just one therapeutic modality used for over thousands of years in China. It's still used to treat several ailments and China's primary care before modern intervention is considered. Acupuncture came to the Western world in 1970's, however there are still thousands who are learning about the positive effect of Acupuncture everyday. In fact their are only 30,000 Acupuncture physicians in the US and our currently population is about 300M. The value on knowing what Chinese Medicine can do for you will significantly change your life.
Chinese Medicine achieves balance in mind body and spirit. It improves the flow of energy as it ebbs and flow's through our body and mind and the rest of the world. The best way I can describe eastern medicine's intricate way of work is by comparing it to nature. In nature too much of one thing and too little of something else can cause an excess or a deficiency of patterns. For example, too much water will drown a plant, too little water will dry it out. Same with our bodies. Over eating cause weight gain, not enough exercise may result in negative factors that can begin to impair organ function. After several years of behaviors we grow up with, develop the body changes. We have to keep the process of evolving balanced before systems in our bodies start to shut down.
When our health is radiant, there is harmony in the body. If the balance is disturbed, and the flow of energy becomes more excessive than the other, illness occurs. Forces of energies flow through very definite channels in the body, or meridians, these are the body's healing energy pathways.
Our body has a road map of highways and by ways. It's like a micro universe with internal systems that resemble many features in nature. The matrix is made up of twelve primary meridians connected to each organ system and several micro systems. Out side of that exist micro systems and even more undiscovered points and invisible structures. Theses systems are interconnected to the elements of the earth and are affected by the seasons, emotions, food we eat and the relationships we have.
As we go about our lives or body is working internally to keep the network functioning well so we can continue working. For example, when it gets cold our body tells us to put on more clothes so our internal organs are protected and will continue to function properly. When It's hot, the body sheds excess and elements internal toxins thought sweat to cleans organs so they function more efficiently. Sounds too simple right? Life is simple until we become out of balance. When bodily functions become impaired, it takes extra help to initiate the system in to proper function.
There are so many ways to describe how Chinese Medicine works. In the end you just have to experience it and know that healing is accumulate. If you want to try out acupuncture to see if it works for you check out POCA.org. They are Acupuncturist for the people and offer treatment on a sliding scale. Chinese Medicine is for everyone and it is affordable.

Alright, let's admit it: if we were able to venture around the world collecting Pokémon on a quest to become the very best that no one ever was, we would do it. We'd quit school, work or Grand Theft Auto V, pick up a cap and some Pokéballs and go get us some Farfetch'd. It's a notion that Nintendo is playing on in the launch trailer for Pokémon X and Y, which features real life Pokémon trainers and CGI Pokémon doing battle for supremacy. The trailer also includes quite a bit of in-game footage as an announcer describes the jist of the game.
Check it out below which, from the on-screen text and announcer, seems to be from Europe.

It's time! It's time! This is my "Ode to Fall". It's officially been Fall for a couple of weeks, but I can feel it in my bones now that it's the first of October! I love all the seasons for the new-ness they bring...summer gets me just as excited, but I cherish Fall. It brings with it so many wonderful feelings.
It's the grateful season that brings the best holidays....it's the drop in temperature, the colored leaves, the smell of pumpkin spice & apple cinnamon, the pumpkin patch...
It's the soups & stews, the baking, the reading, the football, the knitting, the snuggling with blankets with a cup of tea...
It's the boots, the scarves, the nail colors, the sweaters...the layers.
-above sets of photos taken from Pinterest.
Being a California girl, born and raised, we don't get the distinct seasons that other parts of the country sees, but I love it just the same. I've been to Central Park and upper state NY in the height of Fall...it's absolutely beautiful.
One of my favorite parts of Fall is I get to take Stella for more walks...she can breathe so much better in the cooler weather. She even has a very fashionable reversible puffer coat...Martha Stewart featured this jacket on her French Bulldogs and Stella couldn't be outdone by Francesca & Sharkey...
She only wears this when it's very cold out as my husband gets embarrassed to have a dog that "wears" anything. She's small though and gets cold, and there's times when she needs it. So when she does....she's fashionable!
Oh, and it's the time of year I just get to entertain myself....at Stella's expense;) Halloween!!!!
That's my Ode to Fall....I'm so excited! I wanted to share a Homemade Pumpkin Spice recipe with you...I used to get these all the time at Starbucks until I learned how unhealthy they are!! Take a look at this....
-Starbucks photo taken from Food Babe.
Make it yourself! Fall still brings the quintessential Pumpkin Spice Latte...it just doesn't have to mean putting all that crap in your body;) Here's how...
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte: *dairy-free, soy-free
- 1 cup hot black coffee
- 3/4 cup canned coconut milk (look for BPA-free cans;)
- 2 - 3 Tablespoons raw pumpkin puree (depending on how much pumpkin flavor you want)
- 3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup (I use Grade B)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ghee (optional...makes it creamier)
Blend it all together in a blender or with an immersion blender, and sprinkle cinnamon on top! "Fall"...in your cup!! Makes 1 serving (large cup) or 2 servings (small cups).
Great topped with Whipped Coconut Cream!
Enjoy...be healthy! Happy Fall! Pumpkins made their way onto my dining room table today....at least I waited until October;) Good ol' California...it's 90 degrees here this afternoon!! This morning when it was 48 degrees it felt more like Fall....oh well, I know it's coming. :)
-photos taken by me, unless otherwise noted.

Derek Lindstrom and Nathan Hillson
An effective approach to building relationships between culturally distinct organizations is through immersive experience. This strategic plan proposes to create an opportunity to place academic scientists into an industry-based postdoctoral position without jeopardizing their ability to compete effectively for tenure-track academic positions. In essence, we are offering a return ticket to academics interested in gaining industrial experience. The mechanism that we present is a modification of the NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award (the K99). This is an extremely effective award mechanism that promotes the transition from an academic postdoctoral position into a tenure-track faculty position by providing funding for both career stages. By broadening the K99 model to allow awardees to select an industrial position as part of their career path, we can leverage the advantages that make current K99 awardees highly competitive when they search for tenure-track positions. We believe that synthetic biologists would be particularly drawn to activating this award option and in doing so will catalyze a broader collaboration between industrial and academic biology.

In 1920 the Kuomintang, also known as the Chinese Nationalist League, built themselves a new headquarters on the edge of Chinatown. Dr. Sun Yat-sen had lived in Vancouver for protracted periods and had raised substantial sums in support of the Chinese Revolution that ended the Qing Dynasty in 1911. Sun Yat-sen was appointed to serve as Provisional President of the Republic of China when it was founded in 1912. A year later the Kuomintang party was formed in China with him at its head, but the party was removed from power in a coup. In 1917 they established a rival government in Guangzhou, and the Kuomintang became a powerful political force in all the overseas Chinese communities. The Vancouver branch was built in 1920 to house the Western Canadian headquarters. Edwardes Sproat, a Glaswegian, designed the $60,000 building. He was an odd choice in some ways as he mostly designed classy houses in Shaughnessy Heights and Point Grey.
Our 1920s image shows that some of the top floor featured an open balcony on the Gore Street façade, and a corner pagoda on the roof, now lost. In 1927, after a civil war, (and two years after Sun Yat-sen's death) the Kuomintang gained control of all of China. At the time, the Kuomintang was probably the most prestigious Chinese organization in Vancouver. In 1949, they lost control of China to The Communist Party of China and retreated to the island of Taiwan.
The building for a while was also the location of the "Chinese Public School", one of several Chinese schools operating in Chinatown. Today the Chinese Nationalist League still operate from the building along with retail tenants including a herbal medicine store and a Filipino restaurant.

Long Leaf Southern Yellow Pine, aka Heart Pine, is called "the wood America was built with" due to its prevalence in construction during the Industrial Revolution. The Wilton Woolen Mill was no exception, though it was built towards the tail end of this revolution (1840) in Wilton, Maine. We're excited to usher over 750 Heart Pine post and beam timbers salvaged during the deconstruction to new uses.

Red "Shadow" Pine Salvaged From Historic Tile Manufactory
In 1892, the American Encaustic Tiling Company (AETCO) built an expansive tile manufactory on the banks of the Muskingum River in Zanesville, Ohio. Red Pine was a significant component in its construction, as it was for many buildings during the Industrial Revolution. The structure stood for 124 years until it had outlived its usefulness and was demolished in 2015. Pioneer Millworks was able to acquire a load of Red Pine from the industrial salvage, totaling around 13,000 board feet.
When demolition of the Zanesville plant began, the original 'American Encaustic Tile' facades were unearthed, a reminder of one of the world's pioneers in the tile industry. Originally founded in New York City in 1875, AETCO quickly grew and expanded operations to Zanesville. A massive producer of floor tiles, wall tiles, and accent tiles of all sizes, patterns, and colors, the Zanesville operation was considered the largest and most distinguished tile manufactory in the world at the turn of the 20th century, employing at least 1,000 people and cranking out unique ceramic tiles for homes and businesses across the nation.
The unique features of this reclaimed Red Pine are the original paint and wear marks as well as a striped appearance created from the ceiling joists running across the underside of the floor, which left a "shadow" when removed after a century in place. This Red Shadow Pine is celebrated for its unique character and history.
It is always a privilege to rescue antique wood from rot or landfills. Our reclaimed Red Shadow Pine from the AETCO plant has tones of red and yellow, with streaks of resin, numerous knots and holes, as well as minor surface cracks. The joist shadows on each plank create a striking pattern and a reminder of the wood's former life. Some of the timbers were milled into paneling in our Farmington, New York shop for a major retailer's project. The white paint was removed and the boards were finished with a matte Polyurethane.
About Red Pine:
During the later years of the industrial revolution, builders could not solely rely on the dwindling supply of Longleaf Yellow Pine from the Southern US. Other species of softwood timbers, such as White Pine, Red Pine, and coarse-grained species of Yellow Pine were also used based on geographic availability and lower cost. The Red Pine (Pinus Resinosa) is a native of the lake states and eastward throughout New England and southeastern Canada. It grows in a narrow zone around the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River and was widely used in heavy timber industrial structures within and around those regions.
- Red Pine timber was nearly depleted during the logging heyday of the 1890's.
- Red Pine will normally reach a mature height of 75-100 feet.
- The tree gets its name from its reddish-brown, scaly bark and red heartwood.
- Red Pine has a distinct, resinous odor when being worked.
- Red Pine is very resistant to disease and insects.
- During the Depression in the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) planted millions of Red Pine plantations.
- Most of the wooden telephone poles in Michigan and surrounding states are Red Pine.
- Itasca State Park, Minnesota's oldest state park, is the best place to see some of the oldest Red Pines as the park features about 5,000 acres of them.

The Solicitors' Practice Rules were revised in 2011 and now requires all firms to prove they are managing the practice correctly. Lexcel and SQM accreditation goes some way to satisfying the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) requirements.
How will my practice benefit?
Achieving Lexcel means you will be recognised for offering excellent client service. This in turn will benefit you in a number of ways:
- Increased profitability
- Better risk management
- Improved management efficiency
- Enhance client care
- Fewer mistakes
- Support with compliance
- More impactful marketing
- Lexcel has been approved by the LAA as an acceptable alternative to SQM
- A standard that is recognised by the SRA as a robust practice management tool.
How does Lexcel work?
Lexcel assessment is a simple and transparent process that is:
- independently assessed
- available to any size or type of practice including in-house, local government, sole practitioners and international practices
- flexible – only specifying standards, not procedures
- valid for three years with annual monitoring visits
- can be combined with other quality standards.
If you hold a legal aid contract with the LAA you must hold the SQM or Lexcel Quality Standard. Illuminations Legal Services can offer consultancy support to prepare you for your SQM audit. If you hold the SQM and are interested in Lexcel, we can also assist you, in making the conversion from SQM to Lexcel.
