That Time Keith Kissed A Princess
Boring boring.
Instead I'll tell you about Ivy's public speaking challenge. All the kindy kids are giving a one-minute speech this term on the subject 'Me'. Ivy has made a set of palm cards with little pictures to remind her of her main points. They are: princesses, fairies, cherries, books and the family. Keith and I listened to a run through a few days ago and suggested tat she might try saying two things about each item once she had glanced at it.
'For instance, ' I said, ' When you look at the princess picture you might say princesses live in castles, and they become Queens.' 'Or you could say that Daddy once kissed a princess', Keith suggested.
That sounded like a good story. I raised an enquiring eyebrow. 'Not true, ' Keith said, sotto voce. 'But it's a good one to spread around.'
I cannot tell you how funny it has been to us ever since, when Ivy gets to that part of her speech. 'I love princesses because they are beautiful, ' she says, 'and also, my Daddy kissed one once.'
Ivy finishes her talk with an elaborate, deep, Elizabethan bow-flourish.
I love that crazy kid.

I would like to teach the early years kids just to hear some of their stories. Starting Prep this year they have to write in their journal every day...Popps has made up all sorts of stories about us, trouble is I doubt the teacher knows which ones are true and which ones are not.

I would LOVE to hear and see Ivy give that speech, I am sure she will be great! (And I still love her bow in the video after singing chitty chitty bang bang.) You have gorgeous, creative children!
Hope your neck improves soon!
Fine I love eavesdropping for News. Busy has her turn on Tusday and I always get there early so i can hear what she says, its so funny, they have to tell their news then they are allowed to ask 3 questions from the class. Last week she told how her "mummy is a bit crazy at the moment. she can get a bit cranky cos she is pregnant with my baby sister, but she still loves us even when she is crying"
Could I sound more emotional unstable??
( quite accurate really)RepliesLove it. There is no hiding the truth from the kindy teacher. Keith and I were having a hilarious time this morning acting out how we would crack onto other parents at the school gates. It got nobbier, sexier and more ridiculous. Suddenly I realised that Ivy was quietly eating porridge and watching the whole thing. I stopped. But God knows how that scene could pop out to another parent at a playdate one day.

I am me, I am quirky, silly, loving and high energy. I enjoy life and all it has offer. I love people though I don't have patience for ignorant, immature or emotional adults. I enjoy spending my free time with my family, a few close friends and doing anything that brings me joy and joy to others. Laughter is the best medicine, I love to laugh and observe how infectious it can be. I am a mom, my greatest accomplishment, I love children and animals. I believe in being my best me and leaving the best possible impact on the world and those around me, one of my life goals is to make a difference. I am a sweet heart and will do anything for just about anyone, but don't expect me to sugar coat anything, I am honest and sometimes a bit blunt. I rather have to swallow the pill of truth then choke on someone's deceit. I am currently caring for my grandmother with Alzhiemer's, who is preparing to leave to join my late grandfather. This expereince has exposed a side and strentgh in me I didn't know I had. I am also a CASA- Court Appointed Special Advocate for foster children and am in the process of starting me own daycare. I am a psycholgy major and am quite fascinated with the workings of the mind. I know who I am, where I am going and what I want, but a partner to enjoy it with would be cool. I am attracted to open-minded, intelligent, intellectual, philosophical, sacastic, humble men with a good preferably quirky sense of humor. I like a man that is comfortable but well put together and smells amazing you can not be vain or obsesed. I am talker that enjoys listening, so having something to say is important. The importance of loyaty and family are a must along with being mindful of the world around you. If you are arrogant, ignorant, lazy, an under achiever, dramatic or emotional smile at someone else. If you are reserved and distant, you need not apply.

What They Said: Director Rupert Wyatt's Ideas for a 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' Sequel
Hot off some terrific buzz, Rise of the Planet of the Apes stormed the weekend box office and snatched the top spot from Cowboys & Aliens with $54 million. Between the delicate, emotional story and the brilliant special effects, there's really no question whether 20th Century Fox will forge ahead and use this film to re-launch the Planet of the Apes franchise. Those who took in a screening of Rise of the Planet of the Apes over the weekend already know that the film ends with tons of different avenues to travel down in future installments, which, we imagine, will show how, exactly, the Apes wound up taking control of our planet.
If Fox is smart they'll keep director Rupert Wyatt in charge behind the camera (as well as Andy Serkis in charge of Caesar) because both did a tremendous job in delivering one of the best franchise reboots we've ever seen. Sure it lacked a bit in its development of the human characters, but you're so invested in the Apes story that the humans become secondary ... and that was kinda cool.
Speaking to Bleeding Cool about his ideas for a sequel, Wyatt said (potential spoilers ahead), "There's so much we could do… The ideas I've had are all sorts of things, ranging from Full Metal Jacket with apes… you could start this story again eight years from where we left off, the next generation of apes, those that have come from our protagonists, perhaps going in to a conflict with humans and showing real fear, in the same way as going into war for young soldiers in this day and age, telling their story. Or how apes are taking over cities, and being moved into human environments and having to interact with them and deal with things that are part of our culture and understand and evolve through them. Spies that are in the employ of the apes, working against humans and humans maybe existing underground, because that's a way they can avoid the virus, coming up above ground wearing gas masks, and maybe that's what dehumanises them."
The virus really does add a fascinating element to the story, and it'll be interesting to see how both the humans and Apes evolve as that virus spreads. With so many directions to go in, what would you like to see from a Rise of the Planet of the Apes sequel?
Which one of these people is in the movie The Accountant?

first post here, I've always had an iphone and would jailbreak them. Finally one of my droid head friends told me that everything i always did to my iphones after a jailbreak can be done to a stock razr maxx so i gave in and switched to the razr maxx. I have never had a problem with this phone up until i updated to ICS. I updated to ICS and had battery issues, lag issues, and mysterious app openings and closings. Well i finally factory reset my phone and cleared my cache two days ago. Everything seemed to be back to normal until today, now it says i have no service and no sim card inserted. At first i could just turn my phone off and on and it would work but now even when i turn it off and on the problem is not solved. Any ideas people? Sorry if this is a common question, i tried looking at a few threads and couldn't find my solution. dancedroiddancedroiddancedroiddancedroiddancedroid
Welcome to the forums RugbyBoy and welcome to the world of Android. Your problem has not been a common one or even one I remember reading about with the exception that sometimes 4g reception was poor and it helped to re-seat the sim card. Your sim card has probably either stopped working or has become un-seated-misaligned, First thing to try is turn off the phone, remove the sim card turn the phone back on then power it back off, replace the sim card (careful to only touch the edges... they are delicate), then turn the phone back on. If this does not fix your problem, go to a Verizon wireless store and get a new sim card. They are free. Keep us posted on your results. And any questions, feel free to ask away!
Be careful as tis said, finger prints and oils from your skin will corrode the sim cards little foil sticker and make it work improperly. Be careful when handling the sdcard-ext as well... I recently learned that corroded contacts on the SD car can cause random reboot issues... odd.. but true
Looks like a trip to VZW is in your future.:angry: If I had that screen, I would suspect the sim card is bad also.
Yes, I believe jaybogg is correct... you will need to go to verizon to get another sim card. They should make sure it is working before you leave the store. Then you should be good to go. Sent from my DROID RAZR Maxx using Droid Forums

No matter who wins the presidential election tonight, retailers are as confident for the upcoming holiday season as they've been since before the financial crisis five years ago.
BDO USA's latest survey of 100 chief marketing officers from a range of high-revenue brick-and-mortar and online retailers projects a 3.7 percent increase in comparable store sales for 2012-still well below the 5 percent of 2007, but stronger than any year since. That is good news for retailers hammered by Hurricane Sandy and comes as Wall Street waits anxiously for resolution to the U.S.

Masa Paper
9" x 12"
Arches 140# CP
Only a few days left to play with some new techniques and ideas before I return to work. This painting was done using masa paper.
I wet the masa paper, crinkled it, spread it flat, then splashed in paint while the masa was wet so that the paint remained in the crinkles of the masa. When this dried, I glued the back of the masa paper to a sheet of Arches using YES! glue, making sure that the masa was as flat as I could get it but still retained the crinkles. When this dried, I went back in with more paint to finish the sunflowers.
Some of the prettiest work done using this technique has been done by Cheng-Khee Chee (http://www.chengkheechee.com/galleries/04/index.html). It was a lot of fun, and I'll be using this paper again.
No rain yesterday, and more heat and humidity. The grands come for dinner tonight so it'll be a busy Saturday.
I hope you have a terrific weekend!

Oh I'm so glad to see how you did this; can't wait to try it myself and so happy you printed directions. It's so interesting and colorful and there you go with sunflowers again!! Terrific! And I am still drooling over yesterday's post. Had to go look at it again. It's so gorgeous and fascinating.
PS No one last night was surprised that we kept "seeing cats" in our art. I wonder why LOL.
Hope you enjoy the grands' visit and get a little relief from the heat before you have to go back to work.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook.
Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Update at 10:21 a.m.: A search of county records shows that last month, James Woodard sent state District Judge John Creuzot a letter begging for help. In the missive, which you can read in full below, Woodard says that following his arrest for possession of a controlled substance in August, a judge set his bond at $100,000 and that he "reluctantly agreed to pay the 'excessive' bond." But, says the letter, his Fort Worth-based attorney Aaron C. "Clay" Graham "came back and said that he was trying to make a deal with the district attorney that will dispose of the case and leave no written record of the case, but I 'must remain in jail.'" And that, for Woodard, was unbearable.
Says the letter:
I would have spent all these days in jail unjustly, the same as the 27 years I spent in prison for a crime I didn't commit that everyone seemed so "aghast" and "offended" by just a few years ago. "Incarceration" is "incarceration" no matter what level, prison whites or jailhouse stripes.
It was one of three similarly worded letters Woodard sent to various judges in recent weeks. Graham says he hadn't seen the recent missive and wasn't aware of its existence till we spoke this morning. But he does explain the circumstances behind the bond being set so high in the August coke-possession case.
Says Graham, Woodard actually had three cases pending, among them an incident involving Woodard's girlfriend. Says the attorney, earlier this year Woodard and the woman were involved in a dispute, the origins of which remain unclear.
"The circumstances as I recall them were: He was outside of his home with a girlfriend, and he walked out of the house wearing boxers and a T-shirt and was asking neighbors to call the police because he thought she was trying to kill him," Graham says. "She had a cut on her head, and when police arrived she looked very bloody, which made the picture look worse than it was. And Mr. Woodard has a seizure disorder, and it has been observed by me and other folks. His volition during those times is not his own.
In that case his bond was set at $50,000, and it was made and he got out."
But records show that in February, Woodard violated a protective order issued following the earlier incident. Says Graham, who sits on the board of the Innocence Project of Texas, that bust was the result of a wrong address.
"The protective order prevented him from being at the address where he lived," Graham says. "But she actually lived somewhere else. Police followed him home, and when he got there they stopped him from entering. After he explained it to them, they went into the house, where they found a small amount of a controlled substance."
Which, explains, why the bond in the Carrollton case was set at $100,000 -- because he had "two pending cases we were trying to work out, and we were working them out." Says Graham, he was close to cutting a deal with the DA's office that would have let Woodard enter a residential inpatient drug-treatment program covered by his insurance. But his letters to the judges and DA's office, says the attorney, were roadblocking any progress being made.
In the end, his illness and his drug addiction claimed his life Monday morning.
"His situation was different: He's 10 years older on average than the other guys in Dallas, and he has one surviving family member, a half-sister who's been very sick with severe lupus," says Graham. "She was living in a small apartment with her son, and he he had no place to go when he got out, which was a disadvantage for him. He had to rely on a network of strangers from the Innocence Project, like myself and Jeff Blackburn.
"And he'd done some great things in the short time he'd been out of custody. Everyone is aware the exonerees qualify for money from the comptroller, and he donated $100,000 to the Innocence Project of Texas. And he basically slipped that donation under the door. He didn't want recognition. I wanted to have a dinner. And he said no. And he is directly responsible for us having eyewitness ID procedure reforms, and for the state Legislature agreeing to automatically make exonerees eligible for the state's retirement system health plan. It's a compromise and a bargain, but that's better than having no insurance at all."
Original item at 9:12 a.m.: In May 2008, James Woodard was freed from prison after he served 27 years for a crime DNA evidence said he did not commit: the Christmastime rape and murder of his girlfriend, whose body was found near the Trinity River. He'd been convicted in large part due to the testimony of an eyewitness who claimed to have been able to ID Woodard from several hundred yards away at 3:30 in the morning. And his was a high-profile exoneration, in part because 60 Minutes was there to document the entirety of Dallas County's DNA-exoneration process -- from the moment Woodard submitted his DNA for testing till he was finally set free in a Dallas courtroom. National Public Radio reported on his release, which, for a brief moment, was a national story, one "not like any other DNA case" in Dallas County history. In time Woodard became a constant at the courthouse, showing up to welcome other exonerees to freedom.
But Woodard, who was 60 years old, is dead now -- and he died in while in the custody of Dallas County.
As KTVT-Channel 11 reported last night, Woodard had been arrested in August after Carrollton police were called to the scene of a traffic accident. Police arrested Woodard for several outstanding warrants, and Channel 11 reports officers found he was in possession of cocaine. The station also reports Woodard "suffered from seizures"; our Jennifer Emily says she once saw Woodard suffer a seizure at the courthouse during another exoneration hearing.
It remains unclear why Woodard was transported from Dallas County jail to Parkland Memorial Hospital early yesterday. Dallas County Sheriff's Department spokesperson Carmen Castro tells The News this morning only that "we've opened an investigation into it, and that's all we have right now. We don't know any details, only that the investigation is ongoing."
Cory Session, policy director for the Innocence Project of Texas, was close to Woodard, and he told Channel 11 last night that he's "directly responsible for the eyewitness ID law that Texas now has that requires all police agencies to have an eyewitness ID procedure in place. He was directly responsible for health insurance that wrongful convicted persons now have."
More to come. In the meantime, KTVT's report follows below.

US seminarians revive tradition of Rome's station churches, draw ambassadors, students alike.
Every morning during the 40 days of Lent, a band of worshippers walk literally in the footsteps of early, persecuted Christians, visiting some of the world's oldest churches in preparation for the most solemn week on the church calendar.
On Thursday as the sun rose over the cupolas and rooftops of Rome, fresh-faced American seminarians made their pilgrimage over the Tiber river and through the alleyways of Rome's historic center to revive this ancient tradition that today draws ambassadors, college kids and ordinary folk alike.
They were heading to Sant'Apollinare, one of the "station churches" of Rome, the nearly 40 ancient churches that centuries ago were designated to hold a rotating daily Mass during Lent, the period leading to Holy Week and Easter when the faithful mark the death and resurrection of Jesus.

This project is concerned with computational models of human information processing, especially natural language processing and music perception. The methods employed in this project build on formal theories of linguistic syntax and logical semantics, but extend these with a variety of more performance-oriented techniques, such as probabilistic grammars and computational models of human Gestalt perception. The project aims to develop computational methods which are cognitively plausible as well as practically useful.
An important focus is the further development of corpus-based processing methods for natural language, building on the `Data-Oriented Parsing' model which we developed over the last fifteen years. Blind tests on annotated corpora have shown that existing implementations of this model are very successful in computing simple syntactic surface structures. Current research involves improving the probability estimations of the model, enriching its linguistic coverage, and putting semantic representations into the picture. This enables us to move toward models of first language acquisition and language change. We also pursue practical applications, such as Statistical Machine Translation.
Another important application area is concerned with Information Retrieval and Question Answering. In this area, we employ the state-of-the-art retrieval techniques, and focus on improving the practical usefulness of these systems through innovations in user-interfaces and cognitive ergonomics.
In cooperation with the project Logic and Language, we develop models of linguistic processes at the level of pragmatics and discourse. Here we employ the framework of Optimality Theory to articulate fairly complex models as hierarchies of competing constraints.
Our research on music cognition focuses on an aspect of music which is fundamental but ill-understood: the perception of the temporal aspects of music, such as rhythm, tempo and timing. We develop computational models which implement mathematically articulated theories, and which are validated through psychological experiments with human listeners. The models we develop here can be applied in algorithms for automatic transcription, automatic accompaniment and music generation.
Language research and music research deal with significantly different domains; they cannot be expected to use exactly the same concepts, tools, and techniques. But language and music do have important features in common: they are both sign systems evolved in human society, which rely on the human ability to perceive complex hierarchical structures in linear sequences. We believe it is useful, therefore, to explore these two domains jointly. Some convergence can be observed already. To begin with, formal theories of musical Gestalt perception were an important source of inspiration for the initial development of the Data-Oriented Parsing model around 1990. Now the influence starts to go in the other direction: Bayesian statistics (one of the core techniques in probabilistic language processing) turns out to very useful in music cognition as well. Also, recent research yields increasing evidence for a `memory-based' component in music perception; our research on Data-Oriented Parsing will be a useful reference-point when we start to try to model this phenomenon.

by Geoffrey Girard
I heard about this novel's audacious high-concept premise several months before its publication. Marketing copy said:
"A terrifying debut novel about the evil in each of us: when clones of infamous serial killers escape from a secret government facility, it's up to a former Army Ranger to stop them… with the help of a teenage killer clone."And I was basically like: You had me at 'clones of infamous serial killers.' I mean, with a premise like that, it was either going to be unbelievably awesome or excruciating bad. Execution would be everything. And I am officially declaring Geoffrey Girard's debut thriller UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME. If Cain's Blood doesn't rocket to the top of the bestseller list in the land of Hannibal Lecter, well, there is no justice in the world of publishing. And, of course, there isn't, so who knows.
Okay, back to the story… Honestly, beyond the blurb above, there's nothing you really need to know. Well, I'll mention that teenage helper is an innocent, 15-year-old clone of Jeffrey Dahmer. Oh yeah, Girard's not playing around. This novel is a who's who of serial murder, with appearances by Ted Bundy, David Berkowitz, Ed Gein, etc. The gang's all here. As I stated above, execution is everything with a premise this bold. Mr. Girard starts things off provocatively by giving readers a prologue in the form of "A Brief History of Cloning" in which he writes, "Cloning humans, by the way, is still completely legal in the United States, everyone just assumes it's not." Uh, I certainly did. Mr. Girard has done his homework on everything from genetics to the differences between psychopaths and sociopaths:
"About one half of one percent of Americans could be diagnosed as sociopaths or psychopaths. So says the National Institute of Mental Health… There are degrees to everything. Ninety-eight percent of that two million are only sociopaths, and most sociopaths are little more than flaming assholes… Guys with no regard for the feelings and rights of others. Care only about Number One, steal for the hell of it, moody guys who screw over coworkers, start bar fights out of boredom, won't talk to their kids…that kind of thing. True psychopaths are much, much rarer. The difference is important, and also horrible." [I've condensed the quote above with ellipses.]How is that not fascinating? When it comes to science thrillers, the science doesn't have to be rock solid, but you have to make me believe it. Mr. Girard did a laudable job of making his outrageous premise plausible. And there was neither too much nor too little of the science. He got the balance just right.
Now, obviously a tale like this lives and dies with plotting and pace. Honestly, there wasn't a whole
lot to the plot. Some bad dudes escaped and a good, if damaged, soldier had to round them up. But within that simple structure, Girard kept his tale lively, offered up some surprises, and kept things moving at a lightning pace. Turning pages was not only effortless, it was mandatory. I can't imagine that any reader will be surprised to learn that this novel is full of the most lurid and graphic kind of violence. It's definitely not for everyone. I'm not generally a fan of gratuitous violence, but I'm not even sure it was gratuitous. All I know is that I couldn't look away.
Character development is not what drives this sort of story. The damaged soldier thing is a bit of a cliché, but Shane Castillo was a likeable enough protagonist. And Mr. Girard did a fine job with his teen Dahmer, making him sympathic and creepy all at once. There is much that is black and white in this tale, but the author also makes good fodder of the moral ambiguities inherent in the situation. Should Cain's Blood be your next book club pick? Probably not. But I say give yourself a pass and enjoy the guilty pleasure of this very wild ride.
And one more note: Cain's Blood is actually one half of Mr. Girard's debut. It's a complete novel, but he is simultaneously publishing a young adult novel called Project Cain. It tells the exact same story as this novel, but from the POV of the teen Dahmer. I haven't read it yet, and I know it will be somewhat redundant, but I have to admit I'm curious.

Album Summary
- Zsolt Fej�rv�ry (Double Bass)
Notes & Reviews:
With its elfin Scherzo reminiscent of the music for 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' a slow movement of ethereal beauty and a jubilant last movement of perpetual motion, Mendelssohn's 'Octet' Is one of the great masterpieces of chamber music. Conceived in orchestral terms, it is an astonishing feat of virtuosity from a sixteen-year old. Bruch's genial 'Octet,' one of his last works, has something of Mendelssohn's exuberance and lightness of texture.
Classical Candor
Like so many musical geniuses, German composer Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847) was a child prodigy, producing his famous Octet in E flat major, Op. 20, at the age of sixteen. The music is filled with the youthful high spirits we would expect, yet it's also got the captivating magic and maturity so eloquently and zestfully displayed in his overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream, which he wrote around the same time in 1825.

The environment is a very important element to any comic and one of my personal faves when an author explores it, whether it's blatant or subtle. I love this page. I'm anxious to see more of the city.
Thank you.I made a mistake on this...the version that's up at the site now is slightly different.No-prize to the person that spots it!
Best single episode so far.~N
Personally, I'd stay away from that fish platter.

They're only killing the germs in the mouth and throat? I understand how that might prevent an infection from taking hold if it was stopped before it got further than that, but I have a hard time believing that's the only place antibodies in bmilk are doing any good. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.... I guess I don't really have a question and I'm obviously not as educated as you are on this, but I really have trouble believing it.
[kellyb]First of all, Ishmael, I have the deepest of respects for you. So I, in no way, want to contradict whatever you believe. |
As I see it, ideally, the breastfed child will come into contact with whatever pathogen numerous times, as will his or her mother, and after several exposers to said pathogen, the breastfed child will become virtually immune, with rare exception. |
So, would you say, should we all try to expose ourselves and our children as often as possible to illneses we, as mothers, know we might be able to give our children immunity to? |
PS-I forgot to add, I had Pertussis last year. We narrowed it down to a child I transported to the hospital that had recenlt been vaxxed!!! I was a vaxxed for that too . |

Somehow I was nominated for a New Times Web Award. The group I've been nominated with is humbling. I'm pretty sure I'm the underdog in this race but what the hell, might as well give it a shot: if you would like to vote for us for Best Food Blog (I guess they are including drink under it as well) then just click here. It means a lot that I'm even nominated but I'm not going to lie, it would be even better to win. Thanks again for all the support throughout the years.

Tiff's Great Idea
So, I decided after a few weeks of "OH MY GOD! I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE FAMOUS CITIES SKIRT!" etc, I should post my journey back to my permed days in public…I do love the public humiliation…Anyhoo, I'm not reading the series in order, but I intend to make it all the way through the series, even past the point when I stopped reading the first time around. And I will post my reaction to each book (and if I get truly ambitious, I'll try to find the videos/other related series) for your entertainment.
This meeting of the Baby-sitters Club will come to order...

I love your idea Tiff. I found my old BSC books a while back when my parent's were moving and then this year I found out that I'm going to have a daughter in late Dec. and now I'm obsessed with completing my collection. It really bugs me that I have books 1-6 and then they skip to #17. I've been looking on e-bay to fill in the gaps.

My sister and I used to read these books too, I'm going to enjoy reading this! I love your sense of humor.

I LOVE the BSC books! Did you ever read the Sweet Valley Twins books?
- Anonymous said...
Keep it coming! I am a 23 yr old college grad, just moved back in with my parents and while I was looking for a job started reading these books again. My friends think I'm an idiot but I don't care. Also, have you noticed how Ann M. Martin says Cokie's last name is Gray? I thought it was Mason...

What a cool idea! I just stumbled upon your blog (after a "which baby-sitters club member are you" quiz on facebook prompted me to Google BSC) and I am very eager to read all your posts!
I'm guessing we're close to the same age, because I, too, was OBSESSED with the books, then lost interest a little toward the end as I got up there in years in high school.
I was DEVASTATED, though, to learn my mother had given away my entire collection of BSC! (My mom is a librarian and is convinced that no book should ever sit on a shelf ... it should be given away!)
But I was SOOOOOO proud of my collection, each book bought quarter-by-quarter from my baby-sitting money. I had really hoped to pass the books along one day, and, as I see now, perhaps enjoy them again in adulthood.
I look forward to reading through your posts! Thanks for doing this!! - 12:51 AM

At the start of July, rumors of a "Terminator Plan" shook the Bitcoin community to its core, creating talk of mutiny among Chinese bitcoin miners, forcing Bitcoin Core out of the picture.

This dramatic addition to the long-running Bitcoin block size debate calls into question whether there is a better way to administer governance of a digital currency.
As CoinDesk reported in December, the "second Scaling Bitcoin conference [in Hong Kong] was to highlight an 'emerging consensus' on the challenges facing the bitcoin network," however the day's panels "served mostly to highlight the sometimes extreme differences in opinion."
The Terminator Plan first surfaced on Chinese Bitcoin forum 8btc, accusing the Core development…

Eat Like A Man: The Rules
You should never list your dislikes. The mustard works in a jar. And most of all, you should have rules. Here are one man's.PLUS: These Are the 27 Restaurants Where Men Eat >>
Don't serve food from jars.
No labels on the table. Although for some reason, mustard jars generally work.
Improvisation works only with experience. Read recipes, even if you don't follow them religiously.
Grilled cheese is a good place to experiment. Spinach makes it better. Grilled onions make it better. Crumpled potato chips. A little mustard. Roasted red peppers. Pressure works.
A clean flat surface, a couple of bowls, a wooden spoon, a sharp knife, and a good pan.
The three most important words to say in a diner: "extra, extra crispy."
The foods I couldn't stand as a boy all turned out to be great. Corned-beef hash. Herring in cream sauce. Collard greens. Kale. Rye crisps. Lox. Field peas. Don't keep lists of what you don't like. Keep lists of what you haven't liked yet.
Ask questions. If a fishmonger can't tell you something you didn't know about scallops, why would you buy fish from him?
What are your rules for eating? Share them on Twitter at #howmeneat.
The temperature of the pan is usually the secret.
Know how to make certain dishes without thinking. Potato salad. Know how to make other things only by thinking. Roast duck. People want both.
When a waitress in a breakfast joint puts her hand on your shoulder or reaches out to tuck in the tag on your sweater, it is a gift. It just happened to me at the casino restaurant. I was far away from home. I left her a twenty.
In a bar, or a diner, when you have a choice: Face the door, not the TV. Better stories.
Always ask for a recommendation; don't always take it.
Have your rules. State them. I never use ketchup. But prepare a rationale based on something other than the word gross.
Every six months, break a rule. Ketchup is almost always good with potatoes.
You don't know a city until you know where to get the best pancakes, a reliable club sandwich, and a real Caesar salad.
Share Your Rules on Twitter at #howmeneat >>

The Fun Place to Learn!
Dinosaur Facts
People once called this 70-foot-long plant eater Brontosaurus. Then scientists, who thought a Brontosaurus and an Apatosaurus were two different species, discovered the two dinosaurs were actually the same. So scientist applied the name first given to this huge, 33-ton dinosaur: Apatosaurus. The big animal had nostrils on top of its head, allowing it to breathe while part of its head was under water.

A poster on the GameTrailers message board uploaded images of what he says is a Mad Catz Wii-mote. He writes, "I'm an employee of the Wal-Mart electronics department, just recently we got a shipment of Wii accessories from Mad Catz and on the back of one of the product boxes it shows off their version of the Wii remote. I took some pics with my camera phone to show you guys." You can see the uploaded images after the break.
This wouldn't be the first time a Mad Catz product accidentally leaked to the public without an announcement. There is no mention of this Wii-mote on Mad Catz's website or in press releases. We've gone ahead and contacted our Mad Catz rep to find out any information regarding existence, release date and price -- but it is Sunday of a long weekend in the U.S. (Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday). A contoured alternative to the Nintendo Wii-mote would be nice, especially if the internal speaker is less tinny. Also, at this point, we'd give anything to end this Wii-chuk and Wii-mote shortage, which still continues months after launch. We understand that getting a Wii is tough right now, but getting peripherals shouldn't be this difficult.

Rumor: MadCatz Wii-mote

Where the battle is hottest
Exclusive: Janet Folger urges taking action on 4 issues prominent in culture war
While 1,400 wildfires burn in California, firefighters are there. They are not banning together for an anti-litter campaign at this time; they are not joining together to make quilts for the underprivileged: they are putting out fires.
In the cultural war, there are wildfires burning in many places, but we need to be there with the hoses where the fire burns the hottest. Martin Luther said it this way:
Though we be active in the battle, if we are not fighting where the battle is the hottest, we are traitors to the cause.
With that in mind, I believe there are four major brushfires that are burning the hottest that demand our attention right now.
- California: The tyrannical judicial redefinition of marriage. Four judges overruled more than 4 million California voters and imposed their radical homosexual agenda attacking marriage.
- Colorado: S.B. 200 – the Bible Ban & Bathroom Bill – has criminalized free speech that disagrees with the homosexual agenda and the redefinition of marriage with a one-year jail sentence. It also lets men in dresses into your Colorado daughter's locker room.
- Sen. John McCain has not yet chosen a running mate. I believe this decision will not only signal what kind of president he will be, what kind of judges we can expect, but also whether or not he will win.
- Sen. Barack Obama must be exposed.
- Just as firemen are traveling to the dangerous fires that rage in the Golden State, we must rush to protect marriage as it goes to the ballot there in November and defend it on the ballot in states like Florida. Make the most generous donation you possibly can at www.protectmarriage.com, and if marriage isn't on your ballot, consider flying out to help put out the fire that attacks the foundation of our civilization.
- I will be at a press conference this morning along with Colorado pastors and state and national leaders to communicate the criminalization of Christianity that S.B. 200 makes state law starting today. Liberty Council is leading the challenge against this assault that you can find out about in my column from last week. I will be handing out my book, "The Criminalization of Christianity: Read it before it becomes illegal," in direct violation of this new law. Pray for this challenge and for every action being taken to stop this assault on our freedom or next week I may be writing from jail.
- Sen. John McCain has some important decisions to make and none more important than who will be his running mate. Here's an action step that I think will help influence him. I suggest you send him a check for one dollar with a message in the memo section that promises "more to come" when he picks a strong, consistent, pro-life conservative – someone like Mike Huckabee would be great – think of it as a "buck for Huck" that the McCain fundraisers can't miss. The address is:
John McCain 2008
P.O. Box 16118
Arlington, VA 22215 - And finally, we must get the word out about what an Obama administration would mean for our country. One of the best ways I've seen is the new Nobama Girl video on YouTube. Have you seen it? The "Nobama Girl" music video released last week has already been called "the best video on YouTube," by viewers.
I agree.
The Nobama Girl, Jannique Stewart, provides an answer to the Obama Girl's "crush," with a call to "crush" Obama's campaign with the truth.
"Many Americans are buying empty rhetoric of 'change,' without knowing the horrific policies behind that change that their vote would establish," said Stewart in a recent press release. "This video is intended to bring the hidden things to light."
It exposes the facts of Obama's policies of:
- abortion on demand and infanticide
- his "respect" and support of the California Supreme Court decision to abolish marriage between one man and one woman
- amnesty
- gun control
- support for "hate crime" legislation that would criminalize Christian and pro-family views
Unlike the sleazy counterpart, the Nobama Girl video is one the whole family can watch and become informed. I give it two thumbs up. Rarely is exposing the evil positions of a candidate this much fun.
While brushfires are raging in our nation and our cultural war, we must ban together to fight where the battle is the hottest: California, Colorado, McCain's running mate and exposing Obama appalling positions. If we don't, as Luther said, we are traitors to the cause.

You think a 5-year-old with a basket of rose petals and a penchant for being photographed might steal the show? Well, you haven't seen anything yet. The New York Times just posted a video about three grandmas who absolutely killed it at their granddaughters' weddings. Killed it. AdvertisementAll joking aside (you don't joke about grandmas!), this video is really touching. All three women profiled were invited to be part of the wedding due to the close relationships they share with their granddaughters regardless of age or distance. And none of these ladies are old-fashioned. One of them even uses Skype! (NO ONE TELL HER ABOUT FACEBOOK!)The best part is how happy all of the grandmas are to be part of their granddaughter's special day. It's a great watch, but I'm warning you now, there might be some crying. (Both in the video and at your computer.) (But you were just chopping onions, right?)Reply33 repliesLeave a reply

Stratfor Global Intelligence: Geopolitical Implications of Islamist Attacks on Christians in Egypt
This report from Stratfor Global Intelligence analyzes the recent increase in anti-Christian attacks by Islamists in Egypt, and explains ...
Interviewee: Steven A. Cook, Hasib J. Sabbagh Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies
Interviewer: Toni Johnson, Senior Staff Writer
January 6, 2011
Egypt is on high alert after clashes between Coptic Christians and security forces following the New Year's Day bombing of a Coptic Church in Alexandria that killed more than twenty people. Senior Fellow Steven Cook says rumors about an Egyptian woman being forced to convert from Islam to Christianity and held against her will may have prompted threats by al-Qaeda-linked groups against the sect and could have been "a contributing factor" in the Alexandria bombing. Still, says Cook, "it is in [Egypt's] regime's interest to say this is the work of foreign elements." He notes that as components of al-Qaeda have ties in Egypt, and there are often sectarian flare-ups in the country, "it is entirely possible this could be a homegrown phenomenon."
Similar unrest in Egypt followed the murder of seven Coptic Christians over the rape of a Muslim girl in December 2009. Cook notes that sectarian tensions are an everyday feature of Egyptian political and religious life, and that most Copts face "institutional discrimination" as well as a political environment in which Islamism has been allowed to flourish.
He says the government would prefer to handle these attacks individually as the work of extremists and ignore potential underlying causes. "This one of those political pathologies that is confronting Egypt right now," says Cook. "People like [Mohamed] ElBaradei, who is a reformer, believe the way to resolve these issues is through a more open, democratic, and tolerant political society." Shortly before the bombing, ElBaradei, former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency who returned to Egypt last year and entered politics as an opposition figure, wrote a Washington Post op-ed decrying the lack of Egyptian democracy and the poor political representation of Copts in reaction to what Cook says were deeply flawed parliamentary elections.

Theme Park
Trip Start
Nov 02, 2011
Trip End
May 31, 2012
Where I stayed
What I did
I scored a hotel 10 mins walk from the main gate, which eventually arrived at after another delayed United Airways flight! Ah I had better service in South America and the states prides itself on good service... anyway rant over...
I hustled to the Universal Studios in the morning, because through happy chance Sarah was working with Disney and Universal that week and was driving to South Beach for a well earned weekend off and said she'd give me a ride south! Nice.
Unfortunately about a third of the park was closed for building works and generally speaking I was surprised by how small it was. There was a lot packed in though and the city-scapes were really cool, especially when you round the corner of downtown "Chicago" to find the Blues Brothers doing a live gig in the street!
A lot of the rides were quite dated, which I guess is why they were doing the building works, but the Beetle Juice Rock Concert was cool and so were the Men in Black and ET rides.
4ish... I was back at the hotel and Sarah picking me up for our 4 hour drive south. Remarkably I stayed awake all the way, even after a massive KFC (I hadn't eaten all day so I could squeeze eveything in!). Thanks Sez for driving. :)
