April 12, 2005
ARLINGTON, Texas - Freshman right-hander Dillon Gee looked nearly unhittable Tuesday evening as the Cleburne product allowed just four hits in a complete-game shutout over No. 12 Baylor at Clay Gould Ballpark.
Gee (4-3) allowed just one single in the second, fourth, sixth and ninth innings and did not allow a Bear to get passed second base. He also got some great defensive help in the outfield from center fielder Joe Newman as he ended the first inning with a sliding catch in left center field and began the third inning with a highlight-reel full-extension diving catch to take a double away in the third inning.
The Mavs (20-17) got on the board in the third inning as Brock Wilson drew a leadoff walk and stole second. Nathan Warrick plated the run with a single back through the box.
UTA added a run in the third inning as Brett Lewis blooped a two-out single into right field. Aaron Batlle followed with a grounder to short that was thrown away by Paul Witt allowing runners to advance to second and third. With a two-strike count on the next hitter, BU reliever Jeff Mandel balked to allow a run to score.
Lewis led the Mavs offense with a pair of hits, while Warrick extended his hit-streak to 10 games with his RBI single in the third.
The Bears (22-13) offense came from the top of their order as cleanup hitter Zach Dillon collected two hits, while Kyle Reynolds and Josh Ford each had one.
Andy Pape (1-2) took the loss as he allowed one run on two hits in three innings of work. Two other Bears relievers combined to allow one unearned run on five hits the remainder of the game.
The Mavs return to action this weekend as they take to the road for a Southland Conference series at Texas-San Antonio on April 15-17. The series will get underway at 3 p.m. at Roadrunner Field.
NOTES: UTA President James Spaniolo threw out tonight's ceremonial first pitch. Last season, his first at UTA, Spaniolo threw out the first pitch in the Mavs 1-0 victory over Oklahoma State.

Tolstoy once quoted an Eastern parable, which he felt summed up the three responses to the utter absurdity of life in light of the certainty of death.
A traveller, he told, runs across a plain chased by an "enraged" beast. He jumps into a well to avoid being caught. But lying in wait at the bottom of a well is a dragon with his jaws open ready to eat the traveller who clings to a branch growing from the wall. The man looks up and sees that there are two mice gnawing away at the branch. He recognises that his death is inevitable, but then he notices drops of honey on a leaf that he can reach with his tongue and lick.
The traveller is faced with three options: to give in to the absurdity of life and drop into the jaws of the dragon, to struggle up the branch despite the fact that his efforts will likely be in vain, or to sit tight, lick the honey and enjoy the sweetness of life whilst he still can.
When you are diagnosed with a serious illness, you are hit hard with unequivocal evidence of your physical fallibility; you can plainly see the dragon at the bottom of the well snapping its jaws. When I was diagnosed with the (generally) degenerative and debilitating multiple sclerosis, I realised hanging on to the branch was going to get progressively more difficult and that the dragon would probably also get a couple of good goes at my ankles before my time was through. I decided I might as well lick the honey whilst I still could. The mice weren't gnawing as quickly as they might and my condition wouldn't imminently threaten my existence.
Given that I could have been caught by the beast or have dropped right into the jaws of the dragon, the honey tasted pretty sweet. As my ophthalmologist told me: "MS is not a nice disease, but it is not the worst either." As my mother said, desperately searching for the bright side: "The doctors could have found a brain tumour – you'd be dead by now."
There are of course bad days when you are fixated with the dragon and wonder whether you will just continue to slide uncontrollably towards its cavernous mouth as the mice seem to gnaw through the branch at break-neck speed.
The hardest thing about MS is its unpredictability. It is difficult to predict when or if things will slowly fall apart. The disease can take a benign route and you can live into a relatively old age with low levels of disability. Or the disease can be progressive, shorten life expectancy and result in the loss of control of most bodily functions. This leaves a lot of room for fear, even if your present condition is good.
Some days, the drop to the well's bottom looks remote and the impetus to seize the day irrepressible given that my days at full capability are likely numbered. Other days I feel beaten by a relentless stream of worsening symptoms and I am paralysed with the fear that my descent to the dragon may be more imminent than I had hoped.
Yet as my MS nurse cheerfully reminds me "you can still get hit by that car tomorrow". Aside from the fact that my currently poor vision makes being mowed down in London traffic increasingly inevitable, the sentiment is accurate. Life is unpredictable and who knows when the mice will gnaw through anyone's branch.
Hence "licking the honey" became my own Horatian motto. Diagnosis became a vital reminder to "gather ye rosebuds will ye may".

The villa is perfect for 6-8 persons. We were 6 persons. There is not very much space in the kitchen, but it is quite cheap to visit the local restaurants, so it is not a real problem. The pool and the pool area was very much appreciated by all of us. The villa is located in a nice and quiet area. Stelios is very helpful.
Villa Mercedes was just perfect for our stay, we were 2 families of 4 and each of us had its own privacy. The house is spacious, clean, fully equipped (air conditioning in each room, 4 bathrooms, wifi, spacious kitchen a nice front garden with herbs), with 3 plus: private swimming pool on top of the property, with a great view over the surrounding hills and the sea, the shaded patio just outside the kitchen (we always took our meals there) and the barbecue. The location is very nice, completely out of touristy ways but close to nice beaches, Stelios and all of the equipe were very helpful through the booking process and the stay as well. Overall, we had a great stay and I will definitely mark this property should I go back to Crete!
Een prachtig huis met 5 slaapkamers en 4 badkamers. Een heel fijn groot zwembad! Alles was heel netjes en bij aankomst was de koelkast gevuld met de eerste benodigdheden. Erg vriendelijke eigenaar.
Het huis ligt vrij afgelegen waardoor een auto huren wel echt nodig is.
Chania is een mooie grote stad waar je heerlijk kunt winkelen en eten. Wij waren met 11 personen voor eten met voor-en hoofdgerecht en drank ongeveer €150.00 kwijt.
Schöne, gepflegte Villa mit atemberaubender Aussicht. 5 Sterne würde es geben, wenn auch noch WLAN verfügbar wäre. Kann man aber bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen.

HOPKINTON, Mass., Nov. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Unfors RaySafe will be announcing its extended product portfolio for the X-ray room at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) from November 25 - 30, 2012 in Chicago, IL. In addition to the wide range of products for quality assurance of diagnostic X-ray and real-time personal dose monitoring solutions, the company now offers a new Software Solution "RaySafe S1 Dose Management" to also cover the increased demand of patient dose management. Through this expansion Unfors RaySafe is the only supplier worldwide to offer comprehensive solutions for the X-ray room – from quality assurance of X-ray equipment, to real-time dose monitoring for medical staff and dose management solutions for the benefit of the patient.
After introducing the real-time dose monitoring system "RaySafe i2" early this year, Unfors RaySafe now launches the RaySafe S1, a cloud-based software that enables medical staff to manage and lower patient dose. "When it comes to the control of radiation there are three important factors to be considered: quality assurance for X-ray equipment, minimization of radiation exposure of medical staff and dose management in order to protect patients. We are now the only company able to provide clinics and hospitals with effective solutions in all of these key areas," said CEO Magnus Kristoferson. Unfors RaySafe's strategy focuses on raising awareness of unnecessary radiation exposure among the different target groups and enables working according to the radiation safety principles of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
RaySafe S1: Justification, Optimization, Control
The new RaySafe S1 is a cloud-based software that helps to reduce patients' radiation exposure to a minimum while ensuring the quality of radiological images. By providing hospitals and radiology centers with the ability to capture patient dose during radiology procedures, the RaySafe S1 enables practitioners to better control and reduce the number of unnecessary exams, lower patient dose, improve process quality and monitor patient safety. As a result, radiation exposure for patients is effectively reduced and optimized while medical personnel work more efficiently, adding to the overall productivity, resulting in considerable cost-savings.
Unfors Instruments has changed its name to Unfors RaySafe.
About Unfors RaySafeUnfors RaySafe is the leading supplier of radiation measurement solutions in the medical field offering comprehensive solutions for the X-ray room – from quality assurance of X-ray equipment, to real-time dose monitoring for medical staff and dose management solutions for the benefit of the patient.

I don't really think 1080p gaming works on anything bigger than 27" tbh. The picture quality on such a big schreen is just not up to my standards.
Regardless, that is still a nice computer.

This is a valid point. Anything above mid 20s sized monitors causes big pixel stretching when dealing with games. TV resolution is handled differently than gaming. I say TV meaning HD cable, etc. They use fillers in between pixels to blend the image. Gaming doesn't do that because it's not made for Large Panel Displays.
You also need to be further from a TV so you don't have a skewed field of view (I've worked 12 hours, forgive my lack of technical terms).
Also, I would have changed several things in the build, but that's me.

This is a house I passed driving to Vermont this weekend. On my way home when I saw it again, I had to stop and shoot. It's on a main road, yet it's isolated. Even though there was an occasional car passing by (staring at me), it was very quiet and eerie standing on its overgrown lawn. I wanted to go up to it and peer in (the windows were gone in some places), but I had my children with me and didn't want to invite trouble. I tried to capture the sad, haunted feeling I felt standing there.
Once again, I used Simon Le's aged photo guidlelines:

Natalie S said (28 May 2008):
Henk - those are all the same thoughts I had standing there. It felt really sad. What you can't really tell from the photo unfortunately is that the tree on the right extends through the roof and into the house - almost as if it was a big arm trying to lift the house off the ground.
Thank you all for your comments. -
Bruce Kennedy gave props (28 May 2008):
Great shot, Natalie. And perfect effects on the image to age it and 'spook it up'!

MapThread over ragged arrays
Hello people, I have two matrices that are ragged. mat1 = {{1, 2}, {2, 3, 4}, {5, 6}} mat2 = {{a, b}, {b, c, d}, {e, f}} I have to Map a function f at level 2. So that I have { {f[1,a],f[2,b]}, {f[2,b], f[3,c], f[4,d]}, {f[5,e],f[6,f]}, } MapThread seems to thread only over full arrays, and so I cannot thread over level {2}. I know I can I do this using two MapThreads (each at level 1), but that seems unnecessary. Thread seems to apply the head to each value, and if the head does not match, the value is repeated (which might not be necessary). Seems like a simple thing to do. Any ideas?

Lot 69: Adorable Nayarit Pottery Seated Mother & Child
Ancient / Ethnographic From Around The World
by Artemis Gallery
27 October 2016
Louisville, CO, USA
Live Auction
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A seated pottery figure of a mother with a tiny child on her lap. Original cream and black pigment remain on the figure. The mother wears a nose ring, earrings, armbands, and a skirt, as well as some kind of rounded headdress; the baby wears a matching headdress, earrings, and nose ring. Size: 5.5" W x 7.5" H (14 cm x 19 cm)
Clay figures like this one are the only remains that we have today of a sophisticated and unique culture in West Mexico -- they made no above-ground monuments or sculptures, at least that we know of, which is in strong contrast to developments elsewhere in ancient Mesoamerica. Instead, their tombs were their lasting works of art: skeletons arrayed radially with their feet positioned inward, and clay offerings, like this one, placed alongside the walls facing inward, near the skulls. Some scholars have connected these dynamic sculptures of the living as a strong contrast to the skeletal remains whose space they shared, as if they mediated between the living and the dead.
Provenance: Ex-Peter Arnovick collection, San Francisco, CA
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience.
Condition Report: Baby's head has been reattached; otherwise intact, with much remaining pigment. Manganese deposits all over.

Contamination at Camp Lejune
Between 1957 – 1987 an estimated 750,000 to 1,000,000 people may have drank and bathed in tap water containing extremely high concentrations of toxic chemicals at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina. It is believed to be one of the largest water contamination incident s in US history.
Leaking underground storage tanks, industrial area spills, waste disposal sites and waste from an off-base dry cleaning business were identified as the sources of the contamination. The chemicals found in the water include benzene, vinyl chloride and trichloroethylene (TCE), three known human carcinogens, in addition perchloroethylene (PCE), a probable carcinogen.

73 men who lived at Lejeune have been diagnosed with male breast cancer, a rare disease that accounts for less than 1% of all breast carcinomas, according to the National Cancer Institute.

I. P. Sharp Associates, IPSA for short, was a major Canadian computer time sharing, consulting and services firm of the 1970s and 80s. IPSA is particularly well known for its work on the APL programming language, an early packet switching computer network known as IPSANET, and a powerful mainframe-based email system known as 666 BOX. It was purchased in 1987 by Reuters, which used them until 2005 as a data warehousing center for business data.
The company's eight founders worked as a team at the Toronto division of Ferranti, Ferranti-Packard, which sold numerous products to the Canadian military and large businesses. The team worked on operating system and compiler design for the company's range of mainframe computers, the Ferranti-Packard 6000. In 1964 Ferranti sold off its computing division to International Computers and Tabulators, which almost immediately closed the Toronto office. Ian Sharp, the chief programmer, decided to found his own company, and named it for himself.
The company started with contract programming on IBM System/360 series mainframes, and to some degree took over Ferranti's former military work. It became particularly well used by the Canadian Navy, setting up smaller offices in the main Navy bases in Victoria, BC and Halifax. Ted McDorman and Jim McSherry were lead players in this. At one point IPSA could claim to have played a part in every computer system onboard Canadian Navy ships.
In the early years, IPSA collaborated with its "sister company" Scientific Time Sharing Corporation (STSC) of Bethesda, Maryland, USA, each retailing the same services in their respective countries. IPSA and STSC jointly developed their software. Eventually they devised separate product names. They separated as Sharp APL and APL*Plus. Initially, IPSA served STSC's customers from its Toronto datacenter. After STSC built its own in 1972, they provided disaster recovery for each other: if one of the datacenters couldn't function, the other datacenter would accommodate both vendors' users.[1]
IPSA sold time on its mainframes by the minute to customers across Canada, and rapidly developed into a major time sharing service in the 1970s. Long before the Internet, IPSA developed IPSANET to provide cheap telecommunications between the Toronto data center and IPSA clients across North America and Europe. Packet-switching also made their transatlantic links much more usable, since on previous equipment, frequent "line hits" would produce user-visible errors. As the network grew, and as Sharp APL was available on in-house computers, Sharp clients with their own mainframes could join the network, access their own or the Toronto mainframe from anywhere on IPSANET, and transfer data accordingly. The network eventually provided "Network Shared Variables" that allowed programs running on one mainframe to communicate in realtime with programs on another mainframe. This was used for file transfer and email services.[1]
I. P. Sharp Associates offered timesharing users access to a variety of databases, plus sophisticated packages for statistical analysis, forecasting, reporting, and graphing data. Databases included historical stock market time series data, econometric data, and airline data. All of these were available from the 39 MAGIC workspace, an easy-to-use time series, query, and reporting language, which among other things featured integrated high-quality business graphics from Superplot. In 1982, IPSA produced its first printed catalog of all online databases and proceeded to document for its customers the content and use of single databases or sets of databases.
IPSA was heavily involved in the development of the APL language, eventually employing its inventor, Ken Iverson, in the early 1980s. Roger Moore, a company co-founder and vice-president, won the 1973 Grace Murray Hopper Award for the development of APL\360 (along with Larry Breed and Dick Lathwell). APL\360 was later greatly enhanced and extended to become SHARP APL.
IPSA employed a team of expert APL implementors and contributors in its Toronto head office location, including Ian Sharp, in his role as enabler, Roger Moore, Dick Lathwell, Brian Daly in his role as marketing guy in Toronto, Bob Bernecky, Leigh O. Clayton, Doug Forkes, Dave Markwick, and Peter Wooster. This group was headed by Eric B. Iverson, Ken Iverson's son. It was affectionately known as the "Zoo" and was very well respected inside and outside the firm. The term "Zoo" is attributed to a visitor from the "establishment" who witnessed the long hair, beards and unconventional dress amongst some of the team. Sharp APL and APL Plus, and variants, were all based on the XM6 IBM program. Further extensive APL development was done in Toronto and elsewhere.
Later, in the 1980s, a branch office in Palo Alto, California, managed by Paul L. Jackson, made significant contributions to APL and later J. This office included Joey Tuttle, Roland Pesch, and Eugene McDonnell.
666 BOX, written in APL, was one of the first commercial email services, known colloquially by its users as the "Sharp Mailbox." The original 666 BOX was written by Larry Breed of STSC. It was later rewritten for higher security by a student hacker from Lower Canada College, Leslie H. Goldsmith. Eventually it was extended to support transferring email among multiple domains (mainframes) over the IPSANET.[2]
The timesharing business started to deteriorate in mid-1982, as some key timesharing clients moved their operations from timesharing to in-house Sharp APL. Around that time, IBM started offering smaller mainframe computers, such as the IBM 4300 series, which could be leased for less than the cost of using external services. Clients who did not depend on the network were the first to migrate to small mainframes. Initially, the presence of the IBM PC posed little threat to the timesharing industry as the computing horsepower and storage capacity offered by these small machines was insufficient. As a major slice of Sharp's business was buttressed by database business, this had the beneficial effect of delaying the eventual downslide. STSC started to feel the effects of the deteriorating timesharing market one or two years earlier.
Sharp was active in the field of developing APL interpreters for the IBM PC and other computers. Their IBM PC implementation was based on a software IBM System/370 emulator, written by Roger Moore, which ran the mainframe Sharp APL executable on the PC. This product was only used by users exposed to mainframe Sharp APL, never enjoying the commercial success of STSC's APL*Plus/PC product. Sharp also offered their APL interpreter for PC-XT/370 hardware, essentially an IBM PC/XT with IBM 370 hardware emulation cards, but the PC/370 hardware never caught on. Later, Sharp released the SAX (Sharp APL for Unix) interpreter, based on STSC's APL*Plus UNX interpreter, which was a much more complete implementation of Iverson's APL extensions. SAX is available today from Soliton Incorporated.
Reuters purchased I. P. Sharp Associates in 1987, partially for the historical financial data. Ian Sharp continued as president until 1989, when he retired. In 1993, IPSA's "APL Software Division" was purchased by its employees from Reuters and renamed Soliton. Reuters closed the Toronto facility in 2005.

♥L-AMP: Loving Alternatives to Mainstream Parenting♥
This is a book recommended by a friend. I haven't even finished it and I am recommending it! The theory is that every human understands love in 5 different form, or languages: Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. The book explains the 5 "languages," how to determine your child's language, as well as how it can be a part of discipline, how your child learns, and even how they deal with anger. The book ends with an assessment in the form of a game to help you determine your child's primary language.
Also, there is a sister book called The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate.
OMG, this book should be listed in our book club! thanks for adding it! surprised we didn't do it sooner!
I haven't read it but plan to, but...
I have used the website and have had friends that read it, I'll give a link to the L-amp thread where we posted our kids and our own love languages.
here's the link (I also bumped it in the lounge)
I went on amazon names got it for under 10 dollars... Not sure exactly how much... It's been a while, but it's a good place to shop IMO
Quoting MyIslandGirls:
I want to read this one too! I have it on my list for sure!
I was at a bookstore like 3 weeks ago and it was there.. for $15!! I should have grabbed it... but Money is SUPER tight right now so I talked myself out of buying it.

Retired Rosedale Truck Driver Still in Shock
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012Wins $50,000 playing Golden Ticket Scratch-Off
The 68-year-old retired truck driver arrived at Lottery Headquarters still skeptical about his win. Even as the paperwork confirming his Lottery luck was completed, he expressed his bewilderment.
"When I scratched the ticket there in the store I was pretty sure I'd won," the winner told officials. "But when I showed it to my friend and he told me it was for $50,000, I didn't believe him." The store's clerk assured him that his Golden Ticket was a big winner, but even that didn't convince him. "I told them both that if they were pulling my leg that there would be trouble."

Today's winner plans to pay some bills with his winnings as well as plan a trip to Atlantic City – maybe even Las Vegas – with his wife. He found his Golden Ticket at the 7-11 at 7440 Holabird Avenue in Dundalk.

Minute | Description | |
90' +5 | FULL-TIME, and Tottenham take the win thanks to a superb second-half turnaround. The away side scored twice in three minutes at the start of the second half thanks to a Carlos Cuellar own goal and a sumptuous finish from Aaron Lennon and help maintain their position in the race for Champions League qualification. Sunderland started both halves brightly but could not maintain that high tempo, although the performances of Stephane Sessegnon and Adam Johnson will give them heart. However, it's Spurs who take the three points as their good run in the Premier League continues. | |
90' +2 | We're into five minutes of stoppage time at the end of this game. | |
90' | G. Sigurðsson enters the game and replaces G. Bale. | |
Gareth Bale is booed off by the Sunderland fans as he is replaced by Gylfi Sigurdsson. The Welshman picked up his fifth yellow of the season so misses the game against Reading, with all his bookings due to simulation. | ||
87' | Chance! That could have been an equaliser for Sunderland as Johnson's cross is just inches away from Connor Wickham. | |
84' | That's a very dramatic fall from Sandro, who forces a free kick after a tap from Sessegnon. Spurs are starting to wind the clock down now. | |
83' | S. Parker enters the game and replaces A. Lennon. | |
81' | G. Bale gets yellow. | |
Gareth Bale goes down in the penalty area saying he was challenged unfairly by Craig Gardner. However, the referee disagrees and books the Welshman for diving, meaning he is suspended for the next game. | ||
80' | C. Wickham enters the game and replaces S. Larsson. | |
79' | M. Dembélé gets yellow. | |
That's a really good free kick from Johnson, but Adebayor of all people is there to head clear. | ||
77' | Great ball in from Lennon, and there is substitute Titus Bramble to slide the ball away from danger for a corner. |
Date | Title |
29-12 | Villas-Boas defends ´persecuted´ Bale |
29-12 | Premier League: Sunderland 1 Tottenham 2 |
28-12 | Villas-Boas calls for consistent Spurs |

Poetry Monday: "The Homesick Pirate" by Joshua Seigal
Ahoy, ye scurvy curs! Git yer keg o' rum an' run th' Jolly Roger up th' mast, on accoun' o' 'tis "gentleman o' fortune" day here at Nay Water River. An' not only that, thar be an international pirate walkin' th' plank today, all th' way from his ship in London. Blimey!
Okay, that's as far as I got with the pirate speak translator. Eyepatches for everyone! And without further ado, please give an argh-tastic yo-ho-ho to pirate poet Joshua Seigal and his cautionary tale, "The Homesick Pirate."
The Homesick Pirate
There was a homesick pirate,
His name was Danny Dunn,
Last night in bed he made a wish –
He thought it would be fun
To hop aboard a pirate ship
Instead of going to school.
I don't know why, I guess he thought
It would be kind of cool.
But now he's going to and fro
Across the Irish Sea
When all he wants is to go home
And settle down to tea.
They hoist the Jolly Roger
And they drink their jugs of rum,
But it isn't quite as Danny thought:
He's crying for his mum.
He didn't know they're dirty
And he didn't know they stank
And the pirates keep on threatening
To make him walk the plank.
There's droppings in the porridge
And no mattress on the bunks;
There's lice in Blackbeard's beard
And there's sand in Danny's trunks.
Everyone has scurvy
And they scowl with snaggled teeth;
There's beetles on the top deck
And the rats live underneath.
So next time that you make a wish
Heed what I say, it's true:
Young Danny hates the pirate life
And so, I think, will you.
[heading style="1″]Guest Poet Snickerview™ ~ Joshua Seigal[/heading]
What's Up with Josh
Josh, who are you, where are you, and how long have you been a rhyming fool?
I am a person and I am sitting in my front room on a characteristically dull and rainy day in London. I have been a fool for twenty-five years, and a rhyming one for the last seven or eight. I started to write poetry after studying Philip Larkin as a teenager. The poems I wrote were high on angst and low on quality. (Hey…are we the same person?) My poems gradually became sillier, funnier, and more energetic, until I began to realize that smaller people would probably enjoy them just as much as, if not more than, fully grown ones. I never set out to write for children, but this is the way it has worked out. And I love it.
The scurvy-plagued boy in your poem sure does regret his wish! Did you have a similar wish gone sour when you were a boy…or perhaps even now?
When I was a boy I wanted to be a food critic. I enjoyed writing, and I enjoyed food even more! That plan fizzled out when it became apparent that I simply enjoyed food too much, and would probably end up giving absolutely every meal a five-star review! (Apart from the meals my mother cooked…)
I was inspired to write this poem after reading a pirate adventure story to my young cousins. The story made it sound all fun and games, and I wanted to present the other side of the argument.
This poem is part of a collection you wrote called We All Love Llamas! Are these pirate llamas spitting their way across the seven seas, perchance? What can you tell us about the collection?
It is a collection of poems about school, animals, family, and miscellanea – there is no single theme tying it all together. Most of the poems are humorous (well, I find them funny anyway, and my llama agrees with me), and many are actually jokes told in a poetic way – they end with a punchline or a twist.
Is it as difficult to get poetry published in the UK as it is in the US (which is triple-AARGH difficult!)? What has your publishing experience been like?
Once a threshold of competence has been reached, it isn't especially difficult to get individual poems published in magazines or journals — one just needs to be persistent. It is incredibly difficult, however, to get a full collection published. I have had several (adult) poems published in magazines and journals, the most recent being one in a magazine called Inc. I have had various children's poems published online, for example over on children's author Brian Moses' blog. My collection is currently under consideration with various agents and publishers, and I sure hope that, like Danny Dunn in the poem, it finds a happy home soon!
A little albatross told me you're taking this show on the road to the Edinburgh Festival. Exciting! Give us the scoop!
I am doing a free daily poetry show for children. The show, like my collection, is called We All Love Llamas! I just cannot get enough of those little critters. I hope that the parents will stay and watch too, as I think they will enjoy it at least as much as the kids. I am very excited, but also terrified. I am going to be talking constantly for fifty minutes every day. Hopefully at least half of it will make sense.
Do you have any favorite children's poets that inspire you?
I do. In terms of performance, it is hard to beat Michael Rosen. I also loved to read Colin McNaughton and Roald Dahl growing up.
What do you do when you're not designing eyepatches?
I have just finished graduate school, where I specialized in the philosophy of religion. As a result of this, I don't know any more facts about religion, but I have many more questions. I now run poetry workshops and do performances in schools. I also try to gig with spoken word performance as much as I can.
Can we come visit you? And if so, can you guarantee we won't be forced to swab any decks? We just had our nails done.
You can visit me any time you want. I have a special cage just below deck that I reserve for guests…

5 years agoLove this poem, Josh. I'm a pirate poem addict too, so here's my reply
Poor Danny's sad, he really thought it would be fun to be
A pirate on a pirate ship that sailed the seventh sea
But now the dream has gone all wrong,
The dream is nightmare bad
He doesn't want the pirate crew
He wants his mum and dad.Good luck in Edinburgh!

5 years agoWhat a fun poem. At first I was thinking I would have rather been on pirate ship especially if it was equipped with a library then go to school. I like the twist on your poem. In reality pirates were not these magical beings that they are made out to be.

Blizzard used to be known as one of those companies that goes the extra mile. The joke is what the company has become.

Find me one post where someone is complaining about Blizzard not making actual content and wasting time on a joke. What's that you can't? Maybe try not pulling shit out of your ass. It's best to just relax and let it come out on its own kiddo.

Super Adventure Box is nothing short of brilliant! We've been playing this thing nonstop, discovering all the secrets and beating all the zones.
Does anyone remember the year that Blizz took the time to create the April Fool's joke of the 'new Bard class'? They have done other April Fool's jokes, but this one reminded me of how some people will just complain about anything. Personally, I thought it was quite funny. Some people were gullible enough to actually delete existing characters to make room for this new Bard class. One of our guildies did, but subbed a ticket afterwards and got his toon back that he deleted. No big deal. Imagine all the extra work Blizz had to do to restore deleted characters.
Blizz tried to entertain the players with this April Fool's joke and it bit them in the butt. I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to waste time on this yearly Fool's day. I'd much rather see them devoting their time and effort to new content.
Too many crybabies. Too many players that just want to stick it to Blizz every chance they get; they continually try to search for any small negative (what they deem as negative) fault with Blizz. Never ceases to amaze me how negative the WoW community can be. Bunch of ungrateful whiners. Buck up or get out. Go play another game if you're that miserable.
And, while you're at it, go find a sense of humor.
What ? Every single year ? And blizzard made jokes, just no warcraft joke...
You can search every other years 1st april to see tons of people complaining about wasting time on the joke. Hell if you are as lazy as me to search for last year post just go to diablofans to see people complaining on the warhound joke.
Actually I can! Using this amazing thing this site has called the search bar, I went back and looked at the news from previous April Fools jokes!
People complaining on page one and two and page three (didn't bother reading the rest).
It took a little longer to find the complaining in this thread, but it's there...far more of it if you go to the Pandaria thread.
Yes, people complain that Blizzard allocates time to things that don't directly influence the part of the game they play. Welcome to the internet!
Blizz has been getting hammered by players for quite some time about the pace of content releases. It was probably a decision made by all the staff to continue working on upcoming content rather than get caught up in a project that would only be displayed for one day, and that many players would not see or even care about. The webpage art team might have individuals with talents that can contribute to other projects. I'm fine with them being focused since it's what many players wanted. If they had done something elaborate the forums would have had posts asking why Blizz was wasting time, lord knows there were enough posts complaining about Crabby.
Possibly, but when was the last April Fools day that Blizzard had three current gen games out (all in need of patching, maintenance, etc.), with a fully new announced game in development, a secret project in development, a WoW expansion, a SCII expansion all at the same time?
I would just like to thank you for wasting my time. I read both of your links and soon realized you lack something that you really need to have in order to work the internet. Reading comprehension. I would look into getting it. Though I do understand the irony of me saying this, when you obviously won't be able to understand the words I'm typing to you right now. I said find me a post of people complaining about resources being spent on a joke instead of actual content. I wasn't asking for complaints of a joke, if I wanted that I'd read the thousands of "I hate crabby" posts over the years. Better luck next time cubby.
At the start of that Chen video I was like, "Sorta cheesy, having one of these stories about the Dwarves."
By the end of the video my respsect for the Dark Iron Dwaves rose to new heights and now I think the rest are just assholes.
Didn't really try hard, did you? It's okay, you joined the site quite recently, it's understandable that you would have zero idea of what people have been complaining about for years. It's not new, and neither is your stance, which is why the search function is real easy to use.
The only problem is that the bronzebeard and wildhammer are right. Moira want Ironforge in the hand of the Dark Iron, and the only reason she stay peacely is that when her son will be in age he will be the true dwarf king by birth right.
It is always easier to look nice when you are on the bad side. The two honest clan won't betray the statu quo, so Moira is free to help Varian and mark easy points with Stormwind, but the dark iron aren't truthworthy and so can't the two other clan give troop to Varian.
Me just hope blizzard don't fall in an easy open Stormwind support to Moira, would be lazy lore to the least.
If you read the short story The Council of Three Hammers: Fire and Iron on WoW's site (can't link yet, sorry) you'll see that Moira is the kind of person to lure the Bronzebeard and Wildhammer clans into trusting her just to get them in a better position to stab them in the back.
She may be dedicated to the solidarity of the three kingdoms, but I'd be wary of trusting her as well.
Blizzard used to be able to put out real content (good stuff like BC and WotLK) AND have these jokes. But hey, remember they had huge layoffs. The company has gotten worse since the partnership. Just like Square Enix.
Wow. I had to stop watching that GW2 vid because the guy recording it was...well, I'll be nice and just say an incompetent player. But I kept the window up and just went to another tab, that music was freaking SICK! Lol I put that shit on repeat and just listened to it for almost half an hour.
You know most of the old WoW stuff was fake patch notes and manipulated screenshots, right?
Only in the past two years have they done something like create Crabby, the Dungeon helper (who some people seem to hate,) or the Minigames for WoW, D3, and SC2, which some people were underwhelmed by.
Go figure.
Maybe you're the one that needs help with reading comprehension. Because I skimmed only two and a half pages of that thread and found:
But I think that this post, FROM THAT THREAD BACK IN WOTLK, sums up the attitiude pretty well:
So I guess you were wrong.

The Super Adventure Box thing reminds me of the year Blizzard tried to trick everybody with a Atari 2600 version of Molten Core, never actually releasing anything. I think efforts like Anet's should be applauded. No doubt Blizzard and other mmo producers are watching intently. Finally, there's healthy competition in the mmo business. WoW players should be excited that Anet is actually standing its ground against Blizzard, because this means Blizzard no longer has control of the mmo market, and soon they must make calls that we, the players, can only benefit from. It's continued pushes like Super Adventure Box that reminds us WoW is no longer THE mmo, and whether it be a switch to F2P or actual content releases for even the silliest of events, WoW must change to stay in the game.

'South Park': Muff Cabbage, Jersey Shore and Real Housewives Recap
What do Muff Cabbage, Jersey Shore cast, and Real Housewives of New Jersey have in common? They just had a South Park episode dedicated to them last night and it was awesome. Here's our recap.
The Jersey Shore crew was "featured" in last night's South Park episode, aptly named "It's a Jersey Thing." And can we first just say – it's fricken HIL-A-R-I-OUS – go watch it. The show depicted animated versions of characters resembling the Jersey Shore cast and other notable New Jersey residents, The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Not to mention we have learned a new term, muff cabbage.
South Park paints their new neighbors as Americans poised to take over the town of South Park, CO and other regions of the United States. The plot thickens as South Park solicits help from none other than Al Qaeda to combat the Jersey Shore/Real Housewives infiltration.
Watch Episodes Of South Park Instantly!
Amid the hilarity of the Jersey Shore episode, the kids of South Park discover the term "muff cabbage." (Muff cabbage has subsequently shown up in Google trends, Twitter, and Facebook all morning. And if you're wondering what exactly muff cabbage might be, well, you'll just have to use your imagination. Or Google it. Same difference.)
Catch Up On All Of Your Favorite Jersey Shore Moments
As the episode progresses, Kyle soon learns he is in fact part "Jersey," and fights to suppress his inner Jersey-ness. But perhaps the most memorable scene in the Jersey Shore animated spoof includes a cellulite-ridden, disproportionately drawn, uber-tanned creature that eats pickles from a jar and drinks Pina Coladas, slurring inarticulate phrases like "Snooki want smoosh-shoosh." The character is referred to as a proper noun when one of the kids exclaims, "It's a Snooki! It's very famous," before the Vogon-ish creature is punched in the face after trying to rape Cartman.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey Episodes Are Available On Demand Here
In true Jersey Shore fashion, at least part of the crew embraced the satirical depiction of New Jersey antics. After South Park's Wednesday night airing, Jersey Shore cast member Nicole Polizzi a.k.a. Snooki tweeted her approval of the episode on Twitter, looking at the bright side of their infamy:
"snooki want smoosh smoosh. im going to have nightmares tonight lmao! we've officially made it. goodnite my bitches. <3"

She's referring to a couple of articles published about her in the last 12 months by the Daily Mail and the Sunday Mirror, which she says were full of inaccuracies and for both of which she received letters of apology from the respective editors. The experience has left her suspicious of the press in general and I don't think I've ever met a more wary interviewee. But the plain truth of the matter is that there are no skeletons in Rosemary Conley's cupboard.
She was 50 last December and her voice and manner are spookily suggestive of an older version of Anthea Turner. The two of them share that weird TV ability to speak and smile at the same time, but in Conley's case she can also perform exhausting aerobic routines into the bargain, as evidenced by her latest video, Ultimate Fat Burner, which goes on sale this week.
It's the latest in a long line of videos and books which began in 1988 with Rosemary Conley's Hip and Thigh Diet. In 1993 she also launched the Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Clubs, which are run by 170 franchisees who have each paid pounds 6,000 for the use of the Conley name and a further pounds 6,000 for training and kit. There are 70,000 members attending around 2,300 classes a week throughout the country, and Conley receives pounds 10.50 for every class that's held. I'm sure you don't need me to do the calculation for you. (Note for school-leavers: 2,300 multiplied by 10.5 equals pounds 24,150 a week.)
"That sounds like ever such a lot of money," she says. "But we've got a very big office, 25 or 30 staff, our running costs are huge. So the actual net amount that we make out of our franchise fees is about 10 per cent."
The Conley success story hinges around a somewhat unlikely event, that is to say her visit to hospital in 1986 with a gall stone problem. She was put on a low-fat diet and discovered that she was losing weight in ways that 15 years of calorie counting had failed to achieve. It was to be the inspiration for her first book and the ones that followed - cut down on fat intake and the pounds fall away.
But something else happened during that hospital visit. Conley saw an advertisement for a book called The Power of Living, endorsed by, among others, Cliff Richard. She sent away for a free copy, and it changed her life. She firmly believes that her new-found Christianity was responsible for the worldly success which followed.
"I do believe that, for whatever reason, the Lord thought it was a good idea for people to eat healthily and do more exercise and I was the person to be the messenger," she says. "I feel that being a Christian has given me the confidence to go out there and do all sorts of things that I wouldn't otherwise have had the confidence to do."
One of those things was to propose to Mike Rimmington, 13 years her junior ("please don't call him my toyboy, he absolutely hates that"), the boyfriend she'd met on a pony-trekking holiday. "I felt the Lord say to me I should marry him," she says. The pair now live in a Leicestershire manor house and are partners in the business.
She attributes a lot of her success to the fact that she's an "ordinary" person, like most of her readers. "I think I'm ordinary insofar as I'm not a film star and I do ordinary things," she says. Her ordinary hobbies include horse-riding, flower-arranging, walking her two Alsatians and watching TV - The Bill, EastEnders, Animal Hospital, that sort of thing. She never reads books. "I'm a bit of a philistine when it comes to that," she says.
But a genuinely nice, well-meaning philistine, it has to be said. As I was leaving, she brought up the subject again and actually apologised for the fact that she's not an avid reader. I think she felt I'd been disappointed. "And if there's anything you're unclear about, please ring me," she added, clearly still worried about dealing with the press. "I wouldn't want you to make any mistakes."
Hair today, editor tomorrow
"It's like when a bloke really wants to get into bed with you and you erect an ever-increasing number of obstacles and you think, 'Well if he can jump over that one ... No, not good enough. But if he can jump over that one ... And then finally you think, well maybe he deserves me'." This is former Cosmopolitan editor Marcelle d'Argy Smith on how she was wooed back into the editorship cauldron, She starts her new job at Woman's Journal tomorrow.
As far as dieting goes, Marcelle describes herself as "genetically lucky" in that she can eat eight doughnuts and not have to worry about the consequences. She's more concerned about her flyaway hair. "A woman has three relationships with herself," she says. "One with her body, one with her face, and one with her hair. I've always had a great relationship with my body, as I've never had to think about it. With my face, there were good days and bad days. And I probably had the relationship with my hair that women who diet and drive themselves nuts have with their bodies. In fact I used to run articles in Cosmo called 'How to look sensational with fine, flyaway hair' just to console myself."
Utopia on a set of stilts
I thought I'd come across another candidate for Crank of the Week, but now I'm not so sure. Surfing my way around the Internet I came across Lazarus Long and his plans to found a new country. The site of New Utopia, as it is to be called, is a group of three submerged islands in international waters in the Caribbean on which will be built platforms supporting homes, office buildings, hotels, theatres and shopping centres. It all sounded a bit far fetched, so I called New Utopia headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and spoke to the 66-year-old Mr Long. "Oh yes, it's actually going to happen," he told me confidently. "In April we'll start putting down pylons and on the 1 December next year we'll start floating the first platform out there. " A New Utopia government has already been formed, at the head of which is Mr Long, or Prince Lazarus as he should properly be known. A letter has also been sent to the United Nations asking for recognition. Exactly where the $131m needed to finance the project's initial stage is coming from is somewhat unclear and I have to admit my doubts increased when Mr Long told me that Lazarus Long is his real name - he changed it when he began the project a year ago, taking the name of a character in a science fiction novel who was exceptionally long-lived. Ageing is a bit of an obsession for him and the hospital on New Utopia will specialise in anti-ageing treatments. So have people been calling him a crank? "No, I haven't heard that at all," he said. "People think it's very optimistic and it's a huge challenge, and it is, but no more than any other business." Time will tell. Watch this space.
Spelling out my
word prowess
"So you think you can spell well?" said the headline of a press release from Oxford dictionaries. "You may be able to spell some, or even most, of the words in the following list of impossible spellings, but we defy you to get them all right without an Oxford dictionary!"
Naturally I took up the challenge and studied the list, which included words such as acquiescence, jejune, onomatopoeic, suzerainty and coelacanth, and I have to say, without wanting to sound big-headed, that I could spell all of them.
But there's one word I can never spell without looking it up, so I rang Edmund Weiner, deputy chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, and told him about my problem.
"It's weird," I said. "I can't spell the word 'weird'. I'm never sure if it's weird or wierd." Mr Weiner was reassuring. "Weird's a difficult one because it breaks the 'i'' before 'e' rule," he said, adding that people also have a lot of trouble with seize and siege.
I wondered if such an eminent etymologist as himself ever had similar problems. "Actually I once wrote a book on English usage," he told me. "And in it there was a list of words that are tricky to spell, including 'embarrass'.
"Fortunately before it got published my colleagues pointed out that I'd only put one 'r' in it. I have to really think every time I write 'embarrass' now.
Hi, it's Harrison Ford calling
Imagine this. A production meeting is going on at the studios of Youth Cable Television in Notting Hill, west London, a charitable operation aimed at giving young people the chance to have hands-on experience in making TV programmes.
The phone rings. It's Harrison Ford calling to say that his new film Airforce One is opening in London in September and he's chosen YCTV to benefit from the proceeds of the charity premiere. "To have this call out of the blue is really impressive," says Sabrina Guinness, the Project Director, who had told Ford about YCTV during a meeting in New York but hadn't asked him for a donation. After Ford's initial offer, Guinness faxed him to ask if he would come to the studio to do an interview for the station, which broadcasts on the local cable network. He agreed, which means a few sleepless nights for 17-year-old Rachel Hopping, who'll produce the show. "We're all really excited about it," she says. Tickets are still available for next Thursday's premiere. Call 0181 222 1865.

A helicopter crash and a memorial service for one of the victims of recent violence underline the continuing tensions
Local citizens collect parts of a downed Ukrainian military helicopter near a small town Raigorodok, outside Slovyansk, Ukraine, Tuesday, May 6, 2014. The helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing Monday during intense fighting in Slovyansk and was later destroyed by Ukrainian troops, who sought to ensure it did not fall into the hands of insurgent forces.

Funerals took place in Odessa on Wednesday, a previously peaceful, multi-ethnic Black Sea port where more than 40 people were killed on Friday in the worst day of violence since a February revolt toppled Ukraine's pro-Russian president.

Ukrainian authorities apparently blocked all international flights into the embattled eastern region of the country on Tuesday, and the interior minister said that four government soldiers and perhaps more than 30 pro-Russian rebels were killed in clashes the previous day near the city of Slovyansk.

A new study shows that ants may be cooling the Earth by helping trap carbon dioxide from the environment.
Which then gets released by little boys with magnifying glasses.
A new study shows that ants may be cooling the Earth by helping trap carbon dioxide from the environment.
Which then gets released by little boys with magnifying glasses.
So are they claiming that Ants are responsible for the current "Warming hiatus"?
"A new study shows that ants may be cooling the Earth…"
So….the best way they can suggest to fight Global Warming is….PICNICS??!!
Earth's Owner's Manual:
"If hypothetically overheating, check cool-ant level."
Hysterical AGW adherents around the world are heard to say "Hail to our new Ant Overlords!"
Unless those ants were factored into the climate models that the IPCC uses in place of empirical data, can someone tell Gore and D'oh!bama that the science wasn't exactly quite setted?
While CO2 has radically increased in the atmosphere over the last 10 years (lazy ants) the Earth has cooled over the last 17 years.
That's why I just point and laugh, never try to reason someone out of a position they were not reasoned into.
So now ants will become "protected" species and nobody will be allowed to build anything. They'll get us back to the stone age one way or another.
Most of the comments at the link seemed of the opinion that the human race was the problem and we should all kill ourselves and leave the planet to the ants.
These are not people that I want to be making decisions for me.
Dang, I've been stock-piling ammo for years when I should have been stashing Raid Ant & Roach Killer instead!
Ants fried that way taste really bad.
If only we were more like the ant than the grasshopper. Or something like that.
