NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Although many American workers have embraced social media sites such as Facebook or LinkedIn, they are uncomfortable about sharing information about their sex lives or salaries, according to a new survey.
The poll of 2,118 adults showed that slightly more than three out of four participate in a social network site but they lean more toward posting things like restaurant reviews or vacation photos.
"In this era of over-sharing, people tend to clam up on a couple of topics, one of which is salary," said Rusty Rueff a career expert at Glassdoor.com, an employment website that commissioned the Harris poll.
"We've yet to get over the salary taboo offline, and it is often to the individual's benefit to become more comfortable discussing job information and insights with co-workers, friends and even family," he added in a statement.
The Harris online poll also showed that about 55 to 70 percent of people did not mind sharing non-personal information, but they were more guarded about their children's activities and their household purchases.
Only two percent said they were comfortable sharing information about their sex life or their salary details. Employees were also more inclined to share relationship status than employment status.
Rueff said that fear and societal norms are behind the reluctance to share job and pay information.
More women than men were likely to use social networking sites and people 18 to 34 years old were more inclined to share information on relationships, employment status and career advancement than other age groups, according to the survey.
Women were also more apt to share non-job related information on things like relationship status, vacation pictures and shopping trips.
College graduates were more likely to share job search information. People living in the northeast of the United States were the least forthcoming in sharing information, followed by residents in the west and south. Midwesterners were actually the most open about their jobs.

Established by George Todaro and Howard Green in 1962 from disaggregated Swiss mouse (Mus musculus) embryo tissue, the 3T3 cell line is a standard fibroblast cell line used in a wide spectrum of research and industrial biomedical applications. Variants of the initial cell line have been tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox), but most are susceptible to polyoma and simian virus 40 (SV40). In addition, 3T3 cells are negative for reverse transcriptase, indicating the lack of integral retrovirus genomes. Within the cytoplasm, lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PC) induces AP-1 activity and c-jun N-terminal kinase activity (JNK1) by a protein kinase C-independent pathway. Contact inhibited, a confluent monolayer of 3T3 cells yields approximately 40,000 cells per square centimeter.
A culture of 3T3 cells was labeled with Hoechst 33258, which selectively binds to DNA in the cell nucleus (blue emission), and Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated to phalloidin, which binds to the cytoskeletal filamentous actin network (red emission). The culture, a single resident cell of which appears in the digital image above, was also probed immunofluorescently with primary anti-oxphos complex V inhibitor protein monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to Cy2 (green emission). Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Gwendolyn Brooks: "kitchenette building"
Gwendolyn Brooks grew up on Chicago's South Side in a house her father bought shortly after the poet and her younger brother were born. Located at 4332 South Champlain, it was a comfortable home with a large front porch and backyard. The Brooks family was only the second black family on the block, but as the 1920s slid into the 1930s, African Americans began to move to the area in increasing numbers. Once a "Black Belt" was recognized, a series of discriminatory housing practices started: Chicago's growing African American population was soon unofficially segregated. The narrow corridor of apartment buildings and houses along State Street could not hope to hold the explosion of skilled and unskilled workers who moved to the city during World War II; one solution was to chop existing houses and apartments into ever smaller units, called "kitchenettes." These single rooms or series of small rooms, often rented at high profit by predatory landlords, housed entire families who shared kitchens, bathrooms, and much else. They were cramped microcosms of the circumscribed lives endured by most African Americans at the time.
Though Gwendolyn Brooks grew up in a house, she spent much of her young married life in a kitchenette. "I remember feeling bleak when I was taken to my honeymoon home, the kitchenette apartment in the Tyson on 43rd and South Park," she wrote in her autobiography, Report from Part One. In those early years of marriage, Brooks was dealing with endemic racism and near-poverty as well as forging her poetic voice. She had been writing poetry since she was a teen, but in a workshop of Chicago's brightest African American poets led by the socialite Inez Cunningham Stark, she began to broaden her vision. She soon learned to incorporate conversational and syncopated rhythms, people and personalities, and urban settings—as Langston Hughes, an early and enduring influence on Brooks, had done beginning in the 1920s. Brooks would eventually combine the details and observations of her life on the South Side with formal techniques she had mastered early on. Her first book, A Street in Bronzeville, was published in 1945 to enormous acclaim, though much of it was tinged with racism. In the Chicago Tribune, Paul Engle declared the book "an event of national importance, for Miss Brooks is the first Negro poet to write wholly out of a deep and imaginative talent, without relying on the fact of color to draw sympathy and interest. Her poems would be finely lyrical and delightfully witty without the fact of color ever being mentioned."
Such statements are painful to read now, not to mention misleading. A Street in Bronzeville, like all of Brooks's work, is deeply committed to capturing the experience of black folks in their homes and communities. Both the form and the content of the poems depend upon their context. The second poem in the book, "kitchenette building," treats the housing issues that, because they figured so largely in her life, would figure so largely in her work: sections of her later novel Maud Martha and all of her long, strange, brilliant poem In the Mecca take on the scene first sketched out in the four stanzas of "kitchenette building." The poem was immediately recognized by many as one of the book's strongest, and both its subject matter and its style were regarded as harbingers of things to come. But the poem also gave Brooks instant credibility. As Richard Wright noted, "Only one who has actually lived and suffered in a kitchenette could render the feeling of lonely frustration as well as she does. . . . Miss Brooks is real and so are her poems." That kind of endorsement was enough to propel Gwendolyn Brooks to real fame, including the Pulitzer Prize in 1950.
Brooks begins "kitchenette building" with a plural "we," seeming to speak for the crowded subjectivity that develops as a result of life in such close quarters—individuals blur, literally "gray in" to one another:
We are things of dry hours and the involuntary plan,
Grayed in, and gray.
But the poem's opening initiates an even larger attack on the accepted view of what constitutes an individual; not only is "I" absent, but "We are things"—not acting agents but objects acted upon, by time ("dry hours") and circumstance ("involuntary plan"). In such a world, ideas carry their own kind of agency, which is why "Dream" gets to be the subject of its own sentence:
"Dream" makes a giddy sound, not strong
Like "rent," "feeding a wife," "satisfying a man."
Paired with the snatches of overheard speech, "Dream" could be an utterance—to speak of your lofty dreams is to be frivolous—or the concept of dreaming itself; it's unclear whether the word is a symbol or a substitution or an escape. "kitchenette building" is built around a series of such metonymies. Metonymy is the rhetorical device that substitutes a part of something for the whole. Unlike metaphor, which is based on similarity, metonymy is based on contiguity or proximity. It's a device that Brooks exploits to particular effect in "kitchenette building," a poem that asks us to think about what happens to people when social forces squeeze them into smaller spaces and closer proximity.
In the second stanza, the dream is forced to contend with a series of sensory metonyms—"onion fumes," "fried potatoes," and "yesterday's garbage." The smells in the kitchenette building are indicative of the kind of life being lived there. Cooking onions become menacing when they produce "fumes"; the smell of fried potatoes is so ubiquitous that the dream must "fight" with them; and, most tellingly, the sanitary conditions of the building mean that garbage stays in the hall, "ripening" and mingling with the other common smells. Against such olfactory concreteness, the "dream" is barely allowed substance. It remains a stopped-short series of adjectives ("Its white and violet") and a series of verbs that correspond to contradictory subjects (people "sing" while things "flutter"). Hazily described, it's unclear whether the "dream" is one of personal ambitions, or goals of social justice, or a reverie, or even the condition of being asleep. This stanza is pitched in the hypothetical "could," and the uncertainty of what kind of dream is being dreamed means that the words used to describe it are bound less by proximity than by similarity. "Flutter" is similar to what your heart might do when you think about a goal, or a life ambition; "an aria" might very well describe someone's fantasy of becoming an opera singer, or the experience of a listener immersed in one of opera's most beautiful moments. The world of the kitchenette building is also the world of a dream that slips away into symbol and metaphor.
When the hypothetical situation is completed, in the third stanza, the "dream" has literally vanished and been replaced by the pronoun "it," which appears four times in three lines:
Even if we were willing to let it in,
Had time to warm it, keep it very clean,
Anticipate a message, let it begin?
The note of suspicion is new: "even if" the residents of the kitchenette building were willing to allow the dream into their lives, "to let it in" and tend to it, Brooks sees no guarantee that it could still overcome the very real obstacles of the previous stanza. Like the poem's opening, which showed us a universe in which people were "things," this stanza suggests that agency and self-determination in the kitchenette are problematic at best. How can the choice to not entertain a "dream" actually be a choice if it is made based on harsh social and economic realities? But even as the stanza posits an uncomfortable paradox, its aural effects work effortlessly. Here, and throughout the poem, the first and final end rhymes seal off the stanza, closing doors opened earlier ("stanza" means "room" in Italian). Brooks is an accomplished rhymer, and this stanza in particular knits itself together through sound patterning, scooping up meaning as it trips along. "Even" chimes with "we" and later "very" and "clean"; you can hear it in the final "be" of "begin." Likewise, the short "I" in "if" is picked up in "it in" and "anticipate." The repetition of "it" pushes the stanza forward faster, aping the way an anxious brain spins out contingencies even as it knows it can't handle them.
"kitchenette building" seems to pose a simple question: can dreams survive the impoverished material conditions of life in a kitchenette building? And the final stanza seems to give a definitive answer: not really. "We" can't "wonder" about the potential of dreams to thrive—or we can't wonder "well" and not for anything longer than a "minute." The closeness of the kitchenette building, in which things are substitutes for people, reasserts itself as "Number Five"—the person, not the apartment—leaves the communal bathroom down the hallway and "we think of lukewarm water," yet another example of substitution, this time for a bath. The poem's final clause could be construed as entirely deflating: after the preceding stanzas, our only "hope" is that we manage to get the tail end of someone else's hot bath. The cramped world of the kitchenette, built from proximities and compromises, overtakes the poem's final lines as the metaphorical stirrings of the second stanza give way to yet more commonplace metonymies. Yet the poem itself is testament to the urge to dream, to fantasize, to project and plan. Even if a whole minute can't be spared to wonder, the seed of wondering has been planted. There are other moments that make the ending seem less pessimistic than it might first appear. The final clause—"get in it"—reaches back across the previous stanza to revise "let it in," and small reversals happen throughout the poem: after all, the poem starts "dry" and ends "wet." While carefully avoiding simple optimism, "kitchenette building" offers itself as hopeful about the role of art, and of form, in shaping even the toughest of life experiences. The poem packs in the contradictions of life in the kitchenette, even as it orders the process of thinking through those contradictions. Poetry might not provide answers, but crafting it at least allows questions to take shape.
Six years after A Street in Bronzeville, Langston Hughes published one of his best-known and most renowned books, Montage of a Dream Deferred. Brooks's poem presages that longer work in significant ways. Like Montage, which famously asks "what happens to a dream deferred?," "kitchenette building" doesn't tell us that dreams can't survive racism, or poverty, or unsanitary living conditions; nor does it tell us that they can. Brooks's poem shows us—through aural effects, rhetorical devices, even syntax—the ways in which reality under such adverse conditions is complicated. "kitchenette building" is as full of sounds and smells and energy as it is shot through with compromise, loss, and despair. It offers no tidy answer, no simple statement. Though Gwendolyn Brooks felt bleak confronting her first home as a married woman, in time she felt other things, including joy and even inspiration. A few pages after her honeymoon arrival in the Tyson, she describes "623 East 63rd Street, our most exciting kitchenette." Perched on a corner above a real estate agency, Brooks alleges, "If you wanted a poem, you had only to look out a window. There was material always, walking or running, fighting or screaming or singing. We gave a party for Langston Hughes." The world of "kitchenette building" is one that requires an imaginative response, even as it makes it difficult for that response to develop unimpeded. In fact, Brooks might argue that the torturous journey her poems were required to take helped make them poems at all.

NEW YORK -- General Motors today unveiled an Eco version of the next-generation Chevrolet Malibu that the automaker says will get an estimated 38 mpg on the highway, a level reached by many conventional hybrids.
The Malibu Eco will have GM's eAssist technology, a start-stop system to be introduced this year in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans.
The redesigned Malibu, which goes on sale early next year as a 2013 model, will be the first Chevrolet to get the fuel-saving technology.
Mark Reuss, GM's North American president, said the relatively inexpensive technology gives buyers an affordable option to significantly boost fuel economy without having to buy a conventional hybrid or plug-in hybrid such as the Chevrolet Volt.
"Not everyone can afford those. We know that," Reuss told reporters today after unveiling the Eco version of the next-generation Malibu at the New York auto show.
The new mid-sized sedan was unveiled Monday at the Shanghai auto show.
"The customer base finds cars like this very attractive because they pay for themselves," Reuss said.
He said it will be the most fuel-efficient mid-sized car Chevrolet has ever made. Prices for the 2013 Malibu won't be announced until closer to its launch. GM estimates the Eco version will get 38 mpg highway/26 mpg city.
Reuss said the Malibu Eco will beat many conventional hybrids, including the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Ford Fusion Hybrid, based on GM's mpg estimates. An official EPA rating hasn't been assigned.
Sometimes called a "mild hybrid, the eAssist system uses power stored in a lithium ion battery and an electric motor generator to give a boost to the 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine when the car accelerates.
A start-stop feature also saves fuel when the vehicle stops, while regenerative braking transfers electricity to the battery.

Blood In The Sandbox
For those who may not know the show - I have no idea if it is in reruns, I don't subscribe to television - the episodes always began with the smooth and savvy Mr. Roarke explaining to the midget Tattoo the fantasies of two guests, both arriving on a plane to the Island as the credits ran. One of these fantasies would be quite innocent and benign, but the other would always have a dark element. Roarke's voice would deepen and leave the viewer with a suggestion that something was terribly, terribly wrong.
But when I say 'dark element,' I mean 1970s dark. These would be things such as a man wanting to cheat on his wife, or seeking revenge, or living the life of a 'vampire' - in the campy Hammer films sense, of course. And always, the shows would tease the villainy just so far, before things would go terribly wrong and force the fantasizer back onto the straight and narrow, as they realized their fantasies demonstrated a lack of character or some such. No one ever died, or was shot, no sex ever happened, no one ever did anything that was bad ... but the viewer was drawn in with the HOPE of seeing something bad, only to be bitchslapped by Roarke's moral intervention.
Even at the age of 14 when I saw this show I knew the principle was ridiculously wrong. I wanted people to wallow in these fantasies, since they sound very interesting ... much more interesting that the woman who only wanted to meet the father she had never known or the man who dreamed of being a star athelete. I recognize we have these fantasies, too, but since everyone in the real world thinks its okay to pursue them, it makes a very dull TV show. The creators knew the real pull was vice ... the vice they wouldn't give us because this was the 1970s.
It hasn't changed much. I catch pieces of television shows on the net, watching a season of this or that, and the rules are the same. Tempt the viewer with SOME vice, but don't let it run wild. the amount of vice we can show has increased and intensified (RE: True Blood), but it still has its element of 'this is bad vice' and 'this is good vice.' It's okay to bite the necks of your victims a little ... but don't lose control.
In the realm of television that makes sense, I suppose. There are all these innocent people who only want their fantasies served with meat and potatoes, who are little old grandmothers who still remember when films did not include swearing or blood, or who were scandalized by Fantasy Island 33 years ago. Frankly, however, I'm a little tired of having my fantasies regulated and restrained by grandmothers ... or by the Old Guard of RPG designers, for that matter, who seem to have similar tastes.
We are told that:
D&D must not appear to be about wallowing in the fantasies of evil because we would like our participation in this game to be accepted. We can't be accepted if you, a different participant, insist on slaughtering innocent townspeople or spending too much time enjoying the rewards for doing so. We would very much like it if you would stop. We would very much like it if you could continue to play the game as a group of 'Heroes' who rescue maidens and present a clean, pleasant image of yourselves as adventurers. Any other action on your part stains us all, and surely you recognize that if we are to continue enjoying the benefits of renting large convention centers for getting together, we depend on your cooperation.
More to the point, we are told:
Fantasy is not unrestrained violence. Fantasy is what we as an acceptable culture has defined it to be, that is, in the tradition of proper literary artists like Tolkein, Baum, Barrie, Howard, Lieber and Lewis. Lovecraft is all right as long as you keep the real nastiness behind closed doors, and of course Moorcock is okay as long as Jerry Cornelius isn't indulged too far. If you can be funny like Asprin or clever like Anthony or deep and thoughtful like Leguin that's even better. But let us have it clear: if it is too much like historical accuracy, we will wave our extended fingers, shake our heads slowly and cluck our tongues. That is NOT 'fantasy.' I hope that is clear.
What this leads to is thinking that Carcosa is an 'on the edge' influence on the hobby, as though no one alive has ever heard of H.R. Giger, or even Hieronymus Bosch for heaven's sake. As though there has been no long tradition extending back centuries describing the horrors and evils perpetrated by human beings on other human beings. As though we are all restricted in our play to approved sources, Appendix N and other limited compendiums of watered-down late twentieth century B-literature.
The sandbox is bigger, much bigger than that. And while Mr. Roarke disapproves and tries to intervene, a good half of us playing the game don't really give a shit what the other half thinks. We are going to go on being horrible awful people, however that stains the blessed robes of the frustrated elite that can't convince us that PR is more important that RP. They'll go on trying to spread the new, clean sand over the blood we've spilled, but the blood will always seep up and spoil their efforts.
Killing pretend, fictional creatures is fun.

I can only remember the episode in which this guy's fantasy was to hunt 'the most dangerous game'. Naturally Mr. Roarke could not put anyone else in danger so he took it on himself to be 'the hunted'. I don't know why he need to do this since he could, and often did whip up entire alternate realities for other guests. I think he must have been a djinn or something and bound by some crazy rules. He would make a good NPC, re-skinned or not.

No, he would make a crappy NPC, spewing exposition and railroading the party and being indefeatable.
Perhaps you don't remember that episode ended with Roarke humiliating the hunter and 'proving' the morality this post argues against.

I've been in campaigns where, after slaughtering the kobold warriors, we entered their caves to find the women and children kobolds.
Of course we slaughtered them all! Leaving them alive would put the villagers at risk.
The usual progression is... you are a little squeamish about it, then you start getting creative about how you are killing them, then you just get bored with it... "I continue thrusting my sword into the pile until the screams stop. Then I ready my torch as Rondo uncorks the first flask of oil."

- Alexis said...
That progression, Butch, is exactly the one people feel when they indulge too much into the hedonistic ... and is a completely different, yet related subject. I'd hoped to get to it in this post, but when I saw what I'd written it seemed to make a good ending.
This subject being that wallowing has its limitations - you can only wallow so much before you start to feel the need to do something constructive. Call it the natural progression of levels. Hopefully you've wallowed enough in the first nine levels that by the time you have a name, you're ready to settle down. Of course, if the DM gives too much treasure per adventure, so you go up too quickly, you won't be tired enough of slaughter by 9th to stop doing it ...
This is another post. Have to write it sometime.

i would like to know how people are restraining and regulating your fantasies ? as for rpg's once you have the rules the only person regulating stuff is the DM.
in my games anything goes. if you want to be evil be evil. but don't expect to be treated the same in a town as a nice person would.
as for novels i can see it because publishers and editors are very aware of bad press and stuff like that. they are worried about making money.

Kenwolf, I think you are missing the point. No one has the physical capacity to restrain Alexis nor his players in whatever fantasies they wish to pursue, but there are plenty of people who can TRY, and trying they very well are. Alexis seems to see this as a symptom of the wallowing RPG community—an illness not helped by the fact that anyone on the internet has few limitations in vocally flaunting their ignorance—and from experience I can't say that I disagree.
As for your last bit, about novels and such: yes, making money may well be a REASON for this, but it is hardly a tenable EXCUSE.

In Orlando Figes' masterpiece, "A People's Tragedy", which is a historical account of the Russian Revolution, he goes into some detail about the things Russian serfs used to do to each other for punishment. The book contains a disturbing account of an execution: the criminal is trussed up by his hands and feet, all tied together, and hoisted into the air by a pulley, then repeatedly dropped to earth, each time landing directly on his back. Eventually his spine is completely shattered, so his torso sags in a grotesque fashion each time it is lifted into the air. The other serfs do this until he has died from shock, pain, and internal bleeding.
I remember reading that and thinking, if this is something humans are willing to do to one another, what the fuck would ORCS do to a human in their custody?

Thought provoking post, Alexis. Reminds me of Violence: The RPG, and Orc Holocaust, the Slate article written after Gygax's death. The former is great in that by stripping away all elements BUT the violence, the author (who co-wrote Paranoia) laid bare the fundamental fact that a good story with conflict usually involves bloodletting, which Bakhtin posits as a natural release valve that the Western moralists are intent at stopping up, much to people's detriment. Orc Holocaust conversely posits the moral bankruptcy of the experience system based on blood and gold in Gygax's game, while conveniently ignoring that this system is a staple of Old English texts like Beowulf and the better part of Western history from Columbus to the Belgian Congo. Putting aside the fact that is is just a game, little different from the play violence of cops-and-robbers (or worse, cowboys and injuns), our games let us play our heroes, so it is hardly surprising that D&D players would let their violent and mercenary side free when most Western historical heroes like Columbus or Alexander the Great did far worse things in reality than can be imagined in an RPG.

Happy New Year, Foodies!
Bandwidth's Seared Scallops
Mixed china
organdy napkin sheaths -- Horchow
red checkered napkins by DII
Please stop by http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/2009/12/welcome-to-71st-tablescape-thursday.html to visit with our sweet hostess of Tablescape Thursday, Susan, and to enjoy beautiful tablescapes from across blogland.
Winter Menu:
Brie en croute
Bacon-cornbread-chick pea salad with pomegranate vinaigrette
Fondant igloo cake
Pino noir
Many wild hairs later, I iced the "cake" and adorned it with the cherries, white mums, candles, and greenery.
I guess we all need to play, right?
For a small gathering, this would work because you could warn people to stick to the cherries. At a large gathering, you'd have to do a Paul Revere.
Lots of possibilities here for other holidays and tablescapes! :-)
(There! I hope I made you laugh, or at least smile. Because even though this started out to be a serious fake centerpiece, it turned into a laughfest for Bandwith and Dr. Gollum, with me out laughing them both. A good time was had by All. Totally.)
I'm joining Susan at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ for Tablescape Thursday this eve of Christmas Eve. See y'all there.
P.S. Foodie Friday will be up tomorrow at 8 pm central.

Did they or didn't they lip-sync during the ACM Fan Jam on Sunday night (April 6)? That's the question a lot of people have been asking after Rascal Flatts' really, really tight — maybe too tight — performance of their new hit single "Rewind" during the live telecast of the Academy of Country Music Awards .
As it turns out, they did not sing live. But before we pass judgment on Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney, let's hear them out.
Not only did the band admit to the deed, they offered up a pretty solid and understandable explanation.
Rascal Flatts' official Twitter page sent out a post Monday night of a photo that appeared to be a screen grab of a note someone had typed on a cellphone addressing the performance.
"After having performed several shows earlier in the week, Gary lost his voice," the note stated. "So instead of canceling our commitment to do the show, we made a last-minute decision to lip-sync. We've never done it before, and we're obviously not very good at it. We look forward to singing live again in the very near future!"
It's a disappointment for the artists and fans alike when uncontrollable things like this happen. But this was a live, nationally-televised awards show. In situations like this, there are no do-overs, no "rewinds." It's not like a normal tour date on the road where you can profusely apologize to the audience and reschedule when your voice is back in action.
So what were the guys to do? I mean that as an actual question because, Lord knows, I've been contemplating it, and I personally don't know what I would have done if I were in their boots.
What would you have done? Canceled? Or let the music play?

The Westhills BC Day Celebration has passed us by and what a celebration it was! With well over 3, 500 people attend and at one point over 800 children on the field playing and running about, we welcomed a number of musical talents to the Westhills stage over the course of several hours.
The well-organized event brought out friends and family, as well as neighbours throughout Westhills and the surrounding community, to listen to live and local musicians, while the kids had a safe, fun place to play. It was a fantastic atmosphere as everyone enjoyed the afternoon.
This particular event has identified support from the local community for an alternative venue and opportunity for live music, right here in Langford! Clearly, from the number of families that attended this year's event, it was an appreciated convenience to have a family-friendly, FREE event that was close to home for those that live in the West Shore.
In reflecting on the day, this event could not have taken place without the support of the City of Langford and many local businesses that contributed resources. Volunteers, musicians, artists and artisans, as well as those that attended the Westhills BC Day Celebration had a blast! You'll have to look forward to next year's event, as it promises to be just as fun as this year!

Former soccer star David Beckham has reportedly gifted his two-year-old daughter Harper a 600,000 pounds heart for her room.
The painting which was done by the 38-year-old star`s artist friend Damien Hirst, will be hung in Harper`s nursery at the family`s new 40 million pounds mansion in west London, reported Contactmusic.
"The removal firm was extra careful with the Damien Hirst painting. It was packaged up, but no one wanted to drop it and but a hole in such a valuable work of art. Harper is a lucky girl having such an expensive painting hanging in her room," a source said.

Editorial: South Africa needs tough communicator
South Africa is a forgiving place and there are many who would like to see, say, the image of President Jacob Zuma rehabilitated.
Taking advantage of that predisposition requires decent communication. Good government communication is always important, and the role of the Government Communication and Information System is crucial.
This week, we report on the search for a new head of the system.
Hopefully this time around the government scrutinises the person it plans to appoint more carefully.
The head of that organisation is more powerful than some national ministers and more crucial to the success, or failure, of government projects than many directors general, a point that is vividly illustrated by the disaster that was the tenure of Jimmi Manyi in the job.
Manyi treated the Government Communication and Information System as a resistance organisation to what he perceived as a hostile media. He tried to expand and fortify the institution, building an empire of considerable power – even as he failed in some initiatives. He did not succeed in establishing an effective, direct medium of communication between the national government and citizens, but with a bit of luck and a lot of money his successor could.
Similarly, his attempt to centralise both government communications and government advertising spending was not an unqualified success, but he did create a foundation for a system that could be used to advertise the work of the government better, or punish media outlets that do not toe the line.
Manyi may not have been responsible for the default culture of secrecy in much of the state, but he helped to implement it. Whoever succeeds him will need a set of rare, and sometimes incompatible, attributes. The head of the organisation must be willing to be tough with both the media and political heads when necessary, but not go to war with either. He or she must be politically attuned and connected, with a fair amount of backing and cover, while have little to no ambition of establishing a political career. A government communications chief must be a great manager and technocrat, but also be something of a theorist, preferably one with a glass-half-full developmental mind-set. She or he must maintain a public profile and be at the forefront of national debate, but not for the wrong reasons. Credibility is critical, but credibility among disparate groups: political primaries, the public, the governing party, the opposition and the media.
Manyi failed in many of these respects, and South Africa needs better this time around. Running the organisation is a tough job in a tough environment, with a great deal at stake. But it is not impossible and a selection process that is geared to unearthing a candidate who possesses all of these attributes and has the intention to serve both government and the broader public (as opposed to a political faction) will surely identify the right talent.

What is bullying?
Bullying is acting in ways that scare or harm another person. Kids who bully usually pick on someone who is weaker or more alone, and they repeat the actions over and over. Bullying starts in elementary school and becomes most common in middle school. By high school, it is less common but still occurs.
Bullying can take many forms, including:
Girls who bully are more likely to do so in emotional ways. Boys who bully often do so in both physical and emotional ways. For example:
Both boys and girls take part in "cyberbullying." This means using high-tech devices to spread rumors or to send hurtful messages or pictures. Emotional bullying doesn't leave bruises, but the damage is just as real.
If you think your child is being bulliedor is bullying someone elsetake action to stop the abuse.
Why is it important to stop bullying?
Bullying is a serious problem for all children involved. Kids who are bullied are more likely to feel bad about themselves and be depressed. They may fear or lose interest in going to school. Sometimes they take extreme measures, which can lead to tragic results. They may carry weapons, use violence to get revenge, or try to harm themselves.
Kids who bully others are more likely to drop out of school, have drug and alcohol problems, and break the law.
What are the traits of children who bully?
Children who bully are often physically strong. They may bully because they like the feeling of power. They may be kids who do things without thinking first and may not follow rules. These boys and girls have not learned to think about the feelings of other people.
Kids who physically bully others sometimes come from homes where adults fight or hurt each other. They may pick on other kids because they have been bullied themselves.
Children who bully need counseling. It can help them understand why they act as they do. And it can teach them how to interact with others in more positive ways. Family counseling is especially helpful for these children.
How do children who are bullied act?
Children who are bullied are often quiet and shy. They may have few friends and find it hard to stand up for themselves. They may begin to think that they deserve the abuse.
What can children do if they are bullied?
Children are often scared and angry when they are bullied. They may not know what to do. Teach them to:
What can you do to stop bullying?
Bullying can be stopped if people pay attention and take action.
Bullying most often occurs in school, and it is most common in schools where students are not well supervised. If bullying is happening at your child's school, talk to the principal or vice principal. Urge the school to adopt a no-bullying policy. All children should know that those who bully will be disciplined. Children who are bullied should be supported and protected.
As a parent, you can help your child get involved in new hobbies or groups, such as school clubs or church youth groups. Being part of a group can help reduce bullying. Having friends can help a child have a better self-image.
Kids can help keep other kids from being bullied. If you are a kid, don't let yourself be part of the problem.

Pearl Hsiung
Bio: 38, born in Taichung, Taiwan; lives in Mount Washington Work in show: A 13-panel landscape painting showing tidal wave imagery done in oil-based enamel (both spray paint and brushwork), with a vinyl mural of a rainbow installed on the window above. Hsiung: "At all times there are millions of different natural processes and systems occurring that are invisible to us -- often it's a combination of us not looking and a lot of them happening underground or in the air. So I find it really interesting when they materialize in these grand forms like volcanic eruptions or earthquakes or tsunamis or super moons or a solar eclipse. It's not just the forms that interest me, but they're a useful metaphor for me in my work. The sublime is one of the concepts I think about -- our trying to wrap our heads around the giant scale of the universe but just being a speck in relationship to all of it." Curator Cesar Garcia: "Pearl has created this vision of L.A. where you see certain recognizable tropes like mountains and ocean. But it's imaginary or mythological and she uses this incredibly bright palette that reflects the history of mural art. It's a place that's real and not real -- like Mike Davis' apocalyptic vision of L.A. combined with an interest in landscape painting."

Cleveland Gay Bar Told By City To Stop Calling Police To Report Hate Crimes
If you've been assaulted or harassed outside Cleveland's Cocktail Lounge bar simply because you're gay, local police, whom you pay with your taxes, no longer don't to hear about it.
The bar, which has seen a string of violent anti-gay crime inflicted upon its patrons, has been told by police to stop calling the department to report the assaults. Citing a burden on tax payers, the City of Cleveland sent a letter to Cocktail Lounge owner Brian Lyons warning him to not call the police again if his patrons are assaulted as a result of increasing anti-gay hate crimes in the area.
Reads the letter obtained by Towleroad:
Re: Property located at 9208
Our records indicate from September 02, 2012 through September 01, 2013 Cleveland Police Officers and/or Dog warden have been dispatched and responded to your property located at 9208 Detroit Avenue inns for various Calls for service. Repeated calls to the same property place an and inappropriate burden on the taxpayers of the City of Cleveland and on our safety forces. The estimated cost for the city safety forces to respond to your property is approximately $100.00 per call for service.
l am confident that we share the same goal and that you will take the necessary steps to eliminate the repeated calls for police services to your property. Therefore, within 10 days of the date of this letter, you will be required to submit your action plan to the First District Neighborhood Police Commander (623-5105), outlining your strategy to eliminate the problems at this location.
Failure to address these issues, resulting in future calls for police service, will be scrutinized for appropriate administrative or law enforcement action.
Martin L. Flask, Director Department of Public Safety
cc: Director of Law Michael McGrath, Chief, Division of Poke Councilperson lay Westbrook, Ward 16 Deputy Chief Field Operations, Division of Police 1. District Commander
It's disheartening to see the City of Cleveland telling potential victims of a horrific string of bias attacks (six since spring) that they're not worth protecting, not worthy of justice; to go on and threaten the victims and community itself with charges should it ask for help in protection against hateful violent criminals is absolutely un-American.
How do you hope to see the owner respond to the City's demands?
The Cleveland Bar should say to the police: I will call all I want until you do your job, INGRATES, and you will shut up and get over it. Either you serve and protect as your job description says or you will stop taxing me, PERIOD. You really have no choice. Ask the cops at 1969 Stonewall about what can happen if you f@#k with the LGBT community on our dime.
After reading the letter, I think it may be a form letter for when 1 address calls the police particularly frequently since it makes no mention of what the calls were for, only the number. The only way to know for sure is to call the police to another address repeatedly and see if you get the same letter. But, reading it over it sounds like its an automatic policy of the city to send them out and try to work out a way to prevent more problems in the future, rather than telling them they are not to call the police anymore. I feel a little bad for Martin Flask, who may have accidentally ruined his reputation by sending this letter.
I wouldn't let that letter stop me from continuing to call for police. The trouble makers are not patrons of his bar but outsiders. If the police fail to respond, then sue. I'm sure most lawyers would jump at the opportunity. That said, why doesn't the bar hire off duty police or other security?

No later than Thursday, people booking cruises on the three largest cruise lines will see something new on the company websites: an index of major crimes reported onboard their ships since late 2010, including allegations of rape and murder.
The decision to post crime rates, information that critics have long maintained should be public record, was announced by cruise leaders at a congressional hearing last week. It will apply initially to the three largest cruise lines — Carnival, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean — with smaller lines expected to follow suit by reporting statistics to an industry trade group sometime in the future.
It was a pre-emptive effort by an industry that's had a rough recent history — a Carnival ship stranded for days in the Gulf of Mexico after an engine-room fire and another forced to cut short a cruise because of an onboard blaze — and is facing increasing scrutiny on Capitol Hill.
But the announcement did little to pacify one of the industry's top critics: U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., who has introduced legislation intended to shine more light on an industry that in 2012 carried 10 million passengers from U.S. ports and resulted in $19.6 billion in U.S. spending.
"Consumers deserve to know what rights and protections they have and, more importantly, do not have on their cruise," said Rockefeller, who last week hauled industry leaders before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, which he chairs.
Rockefeller has accused the cruise industry of downplaying serious safety concerns — from crime to ship operations — while giving unhappy or mistreated passengers little recourse against the industry.
His measure would force the cruise industry to provide a "plain language" explanation of the fine print in cruise contracts and also establish a federal toll-free hotline for passenger complaints. The bill also would require the industry to make public the same crime reports that cruise leaders said they would put on their websites this week.
It's an attempt by Rockefeller to address a loophole in a previous cruise-reform bill that required only the release of crimes that had been investigated and closed by the FBI.
According to a U.S. Senate report released last week, cruise lines reported allegations of 130 major crimes to the FBI in 2011 and 2012, but only 31 were made public. A major difference was in allegations of sexual assault: 24 of 71 cases were reported publicly.
"It was interesting that the cruise lines all of a sudden decided to post crime data on their websites," said Kendall Carver, chairman of the International Cruise Victims Association. "We are all pleased with that, but we will have to see what they post. … The devil is in the details."
In years past, the cruise industry has been effective in rebuffing major new regulations to its industry, due in large part to its strong lobbying arm.
Since 2010, the industry's main trade group — the Cruise Lines International Association — alone has spent more than $6 million on lobbying, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
But a rough couple of years for the industry has raised public awareness of problems and put more pressure on Congress to act.
Most striking was the Costa Concordia accident of 2012, which resulted in the death of 32 people when it ran aground off the coast of Italy. The ship is owned by a subsidiary of Miami-based Carnival Corp., which blamed the accident on a reckless captain.
This year also has featured two major incidents. In February, the Carnival Triumph drifted for days in the Gulf of Mexico after an engine-room fire crippled its propulsion system; passengers reported raw sewage in hallways and having little food. Then in May, a Royal Caribbean vessel, Grandeur of the Seas, caught fire and forced operators to cut short a seven-night Bahamas cruise.
Adam Goldstein, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean, said while unfortunate, these accidents are not typical.
"While fully admitting that there have been more incidents in the cruise industry this year than anyone of us would like to have seen, they are rare as a matter of historical record," Goldstein said at the hearing.
Afterward, when asked whether he would back Rockefeller's legislation, he would not comment.
"It's 39 pages long. I know that," he said. "It's going to some time for us to digest."
The recent incidents, however, have motivated Rockefeller to continue hammering away.
"I have been assured repeatedly by the industry that things will get better. Take a look at the events over the past 16 months and tell me if this is what you think better looks like," Rockefeller said. "Cruise lines are on notice that the safety and protection of their passengers is now their No. 1 priority, whether they like it or not."
What remains to be seen, however, is whether Rockefeller's efforts garner the support of Florida's two senators: Democrat Bill Nelson and Republican Marco Rubio.
Florida is home to five major cruise ports, and the industry generates an estimated 130,000 jobs and $7 billion in spending.
During the Senate hearing last week, Nelson spoke briefly, highlighting the industry's economic impact on Florida.
"In my meeting with the industry, I have stressed that passenger and crew safety must be the industry's top priority. The industry has responded to me that it is making a good-faith effort," Nelson said.
When asked whether Nelson supported Rockefeller's legislation, a Nelson spokesman said he was reviewing it. Aides to Rubio did not respond to a call or email seeking comment.

BeeYoo needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 225 designs submitted by 81 freelance designers.
We are a new social networking concept looking to change the way that people interact with each other. We are looking for a logo for our brand that will help define our company, and establish a presence to everyone that sees it. We need something something bold and exciting, but not too busy. Something simple that catches the eye and encompasses what our company is all about.
Our target audience is all internet users. We are looking at bringing a product to the market that will be accepted as an integral part of all social media. So our audience, is basically anyone that participates in any form of social networking. Our users range from celebrities to your average internet user, so we need something that will attract people to the site, but not draw too much attention away from the actual content.
We would like the logo to incorporate some kind of bee (the insect) and some aspect of video transmission.
The central focus of our website is broadcasting web based video to all social media platforms. So we are looking to incorporate those two elements into the logo.
The bee should be something that can be recognized in the future and associated with the site, and the video part should somehow be implied in that structure.
We are also looking to build an iphone application so something that could be easily portrayed in an icon for that would be helpful as well.
We would like to keep it broad as well, so don't put the .com part into the logo.

Read the original story in The Oregonian here.
Portland State University's Music Department is fairly flowering with more professors and students, more ensembles and one of the biggest events to date at the school's recently overhauled music hall.
The school's Music Forward! concert Friday will be among the largest and most diverse ever performed in Lincoln Hall. The 1911-era building got a $31 million makeover and reopened in fall 2010 with a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Platinum certification for its energy-saving environmental qualities.
Music Forward! features about 25 professors, the most an event has spotlighted, says Darrell Grant, School of Fine and Performing Arts associate dean. Performers include the Oregon Guitar Quartet, led by music department Chairman Bryan Johanson.
In addition, at least 175 students, most from ensembles such as the orchestra and wind symphony, will perform along with a super choir composed of all school choirs.
"This is the first time that we've all come together to do something of this magnitude that features every aspect of the (music) program," says Grant, a jazz studies professor and pianist who will accompany the choir.
Mix of music
Classical pieces from Massenet and Tchaikovsky will mingle with "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," Latin choral works, Japanese drumming, jazz standards and other musical flavors at the event, a scholarship fundraiser.
"Scholarships are the number one need in our department," Johanson says. "They can mean the difference between a student continuing in the program and dropping out."
About 10 percent of PSU music students are on scholarships. Students at PSU, like most nationwide, face rising tuition and decreasing financial aid.
Over the decade ending in 2010-11, public four-year colleges' average tuition and fees rose 72 percent, adjusting for inflation, according to the Oregon Student Access Commission, an agency helping students fund their education.
Tuition, not counting fees, for one credit at PSU is $142 for residents this year, up from $137 last year.
Despite rising costs, the number of students steadily grows at PSU and its music program. Undergraduate enrollment increased 29 percent since 2006 to 23,170 this fall. During the same period, the number of music majors climbed from 382 to 460, a 20 percent rise.
Some say the music program's enthusiastic new leaders helped spur change.
The university added a few new music groups recently, including the Taiko Ensemble, a Japanese drumming group that professor Wynn Kiyama formed last year, a few months after arriving at PSU. Students of all disciplines flock to the group.
"The practice of taiko is a full-bodied activity and, for that reason, it often attracts athletes and dancers, as well as musicians," Kiyama said.
More choirs
Ethan Sperry, director of choral activities, wanted more opportunities for advanced singers, so he founded Man Choir and Vox Femina in fall 2011.
When Sperry arrived about two years ago, PSU enlisted fewer than 100 choir students. Now, there are more than 250 choir members in the school's five choirs.
The chamber choir has released its first album in at least a decade, "A Drop in the Ocean," full of classical, pop and world music.
PSU senior and chamber choir tenor Evan Miles says Sperry clicks with young people, and word of his energy and enthusiasm "spread like wildfire."
"Ethan came here and was a whirlwind of excitement," says PSU senior Yode Walker, a Man Choir bass II.
Baritone John Dabritz says he enrolled at PSU just to join Man Choir, which Sperry and Erick Lichte conduct.
"They're both at a national or international level," Dabritz says.
Sperry says he appreciates the praise.
"The feeling is mutual," he says. "I've got to say the students at Portland State are very special, and they're worth every bit of effort I can bring."
PSU offers students standard classes such as music theory, but also a variety of special classes, including one about teaching music in elementary schools and another that performs in nursing homes and hospitals.
Grant says PSU's focus on community-based learning helps distinguish it from its peers.
"What attracted me to teach here," he says, "is it actually seemed they really live the motto: 'Let knowledge serve the city.'"

If you've ever felt the frustration of trying to order catering or takeout without being bombarded with a mountain of plastic utensils and a ream of napkins that you could write your life story on, Eco to Go can help! The simple phrase was created as a way to communicate to restaurants that you would like minimal packaging, condiments and utensils. The more people use it, the more food vendors will know that they have to get on board so let your favorite spot know about it the next time you order! Better yet, make a homecooked meal for your next event – that way you won't have to fake the funk by dusting flour on your face when your guests arrive.
Saying "Eco to Go" is $0

It has some crushed and some whole beans and takes much less time than the regular doenjang that's been fermented for a long time. I don't make cheongukjang from the scratch since it needs to be kept in one temperature and the house will start smell when it starts fermentation -- instead, I usually buy it at the supermarket.

The New York founder of a video game website says he believes tens of thousands of players of online shooter games are participating in a 24-hour cease-fire to show love and respect to last week's Connecticut school shooting victims.
Bronx resident Antwand Pearman says he's gotten mostly positive messages. The GamerFitNation founder says some player groups with thousands of members have told him they're participating in the cease-fire.
A gunman killed 20 children and six adults at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school last week.
The 29-year-old Pearman has three children. He has a Facebook page and a Twitter account promoting the shooter game cease-fire, which started at noon Friday.
He says video games don't cause violence, as some critics have suggested. He says the cease-fire is meant to show gamers care.

The Mets did it right in how they honor the veterans this Memorial Day. If Major League Baseball doesn't do it already – and I believe they might – all veterans should be allowed free admission to any regular season game they choose.
It is only a small way of saying thanks and showing respect for those who gave this country so much. Personally, I think any family who lost a member in a war should have tax-exempt status. They have already given more than their fair share.
But, that's just me.
Growing up, Memorial Day meant parades, picnics and softball games. Today, I know it means a lot more.
Baseball is a Memorial Day tradition, especially the doubleheader. They don't do them anymore because the owners want the two gates. However, on this day, and maybe also on July 4, I wish Major League Baseball would go back and honor not only the veterans, but all fans who have supported it for years, to give us back the traditional doubleheader.
So many of baseball's great traditions have faded, from the uniqueness of the Opening Days in Cincinnati and Washington, to Sunday doubleheaders, to the diminishing of the All-Star Game and to interleague play.
Baseball has always been part of the fabric of our country – James Earl Jones' Field of Dreams speech – and that includes the traditional holiday doubleheaders.
Just once, can't the commissioner of this sport and its owners do something right for its fans and give us back the holiday doubleheader?
Of course, that wouldn't work with Mets-Yankees, a gimmick that might be losing its steam. If both teams were competitive it could be different, but there are plenty of tickets available for the two Citi Field games against the Yankees.
The Mets won Sunday night to snap their third losing streak of the season of at least five games.
And, it is just May.
The Mets have Jon Niese and Matt Harvey going against the Yankees, which is their best. Niese is going through an awful stretch. The Opening Day starter and de facto ace with Johan Santana done, Niese won two of his first three starts, but it took him six starts before he won his third game.
Niese is on pace to pitch 186.1 innings, but for that workload he'll go 10-17 with a 4.80 ERA. Currently, hitters are batting .270 off him.
Harvey's projected numbers are off the charts, but how long will it continue?
And, once he falters, who picks up the slack?

As the national debate over debt and deficit deepened in 2011, the White House moved to force Congress' hand on spending reduction. The Sequester idea was floated as a way to bring Republicans and Democrats to the table for cost-cutting compromise to avoid automatic, across-the-board cuts.
As the national debate over debt and deficit deepened in 2011, the White House moved to force Congress' hand on spending reduction. The Sequester idea was floated as a way to bring Republicans and Democrats to the table for cost-cutting compromise to avoid automatic, across-the-board cuts.
In 2011, unable to come to an agreement on what to cut and when, Congress passed the Budget Control Act requiring agreement on a plan to reduce the deficit - the amount the federal government goes into the red annually - by $4 trillion, including $2.5 trillion in cuts already in place. That meant that more than $1 trillion in cuts over 10 years had to be identified and agreed upon. If an agreement could not be reached, $1 trillion in automatic, arbitrary cuts across the federal government would be triggered in 2013.
Thus was born the specter of the Sequester - the cuts forced by the agreement.
Despite two years of often bitter partisan wrangling, or perhaps because if it, no agreement was reached. What had been intended as a move to force the hand of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction - the so-called Super Committee - turned into a deadline that could not be met.
The Sequester was to hit Jan. 1, 2013. However, fears that the end of the Bush tax cuts and a payroll tax cut combined with Sequestration would certainly kill the weak recovery and spark another recession resulted in parliamentary moves that reset the deadline for March 1.
On that day Sequestration went from concept to reality on the contemporary American scene.
The cuts instituted on March 1 were evenly split between domestic and defense programs. Over the fiscal years 2013-2021 slightly more than $1 trillion will be cut from line items including Medicare, weapons purchasing and base construction.
Mandatory programs like Medicaid and Social Security and welfare programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and food stamps were shielded from the Sequester. Other programs like aid for Women, Infants and Children and the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program are subject to the required cuts.
In 2013, $42.7 billion (7.9 percent) will be cut from the defense budget, $28.7 billion (5.3 percent) in domestic discretionary funding will be cut, Medicare will take a $9.9 (2 percent) haircut and another $4 billion in cuts to defense and nondefense programs will be made.
As the Sequester continues in 2014 cuts rise from the 2013 level of $85.4 billion to $109.3 billion a year. No programs are eliminated but the size - and cost - of programs will be reduced.
July 27, 2011 – The idea for automatic cuts to the federal budget – Sequestration – comes from the Obama White House according to journalist Bob Woodward and others.
August 2, 2011 – Congress sends Budget Control Act to President Barak Obama. He signs it and the clocks starts ticking toward Jan. 1, 2011 deadline for a budget deal to avoid Sequestration.
November 21, 2011 - The so-called Super Committee fails to reach agreement and President Obama tells Congress he will veto any move to void Sequestration.
May 10, 2011 - House Republicans pass the Sequester Replacement Act, an attempt to make cuts and avoid Sequestration.
December 20, 2012 – House Republicans pass Spending Reduction Act, another alternative to Sequestration unacceptable to Democrats and the White House.
January 2, 2013 – President Obama signs 'fiscal cliff' deal, pushing Sequester deadline to March 1.
February 5, 2013 – President asks Congress to delay Sequester.
February 13, 2013 - Presidential spokesman Jay Carney confirms Sequester was White House idea.
March 1, 2013 – Sequester kicks in. White House tours are cancelled then later reinstated after uproar. Exhibitions by Navy's Blue Angels canceled. Federal employees are furloughed one day per pay period.
