The general store of F.E. Field burned on August 21, 1875, as part of a fire that damaged, but did not destroy, Union Block (also known as Taylor's Block) in the city of Greenfield, Massachusetts. Union Block was on the corner of Chapman and Main Street, in the center of the city. Another store, M.R. Pierce and Co., a seller of stoves, was also damaged. Before the disaster, Field's newspaper advertisements had promised that he would "make trade lively," by offering "very low prices." His store, he proclaimed, was "headquarters for fruit jars." The fire was apparently started accidentally, and Field, the local newspaper reported, was well insured. However, after the fire he never reconstituted his business and other firms moved into the Union Block. On May 6, 1883, the Field Block burned again, this time for good: a new building had to be erected in its place. This sign, which shows no signs of fire, was apparently rescued from the first fire and was recycled. It was used for a plaster patch in the Seth Wood house in Factory Hollow, Greenfield. It was rediscovered when the house was dismantled in 1990.

Biomed teams from Rice, UCLA, and Dartmouth win first NIH undergrad competition
MedCity News
September 13, 2013
Three teams were announced as winners in the recent Design by Biomedical Undergraduate Teams (DEBUT) Challenge, a biomedical engineering design competition for teams of undergraduate students. The three categories addressed the critical needs in biomedical technology, focusing on devices for diagnostics, therapeutics, and technology that can aid underserved populations and individuals with disabilities. The challenge was managed by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), which is a part of the National Institutes of Health...
...In the category of therapeutic devices, the winner was the Microflora Refinement System that helps treat Clostridium difficile (C. diff) which is an infectious intestinal bacterium and the number one cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea. The infection is extremely resistant to drug treatment as antibiotics usually don't work. The Microflora Refinement System designed by Alison Stace-Naughton, Pauline Schmit, Laura Taylor Gray, and Jen Freise from Dartmouth, automatically separates the beneficial microbiota from the fecal matter and could potentially make transplantation more widely available.
"We are more focused on device development and seeing where this can take us," said Stace-Naughton. "The wind is to our back and we would like to use that momentum to help carry this device forward. We aren't sure where we will go with it yet, but the competition offers valuable resources and business development help that we plan on utilizing."

youtube-dl: hyzOB92EuZM | tinyoggThe 2D RTS Bos Wars (BW) 2.6 has been released, after two years of release-silence. The new release includes
- Enhancements to the editor and map format
- New units, tilesets, maps, translations (italian and portugese)
- A campaign
The new map format is 'patch-based', which is like 'tile-based' I suppose, only that it allows you to use tiles of any dimensions. The editor works well, it could only use a 'tile draw mode' which would continue to draw tiles while holding down the mouse button (this happens for units, but not for tiles). Here's a video [tinyogg] demonstration of the editor, make sure to skip if it gets boring, I show off tile, resource and unit placement and then test-play the map.
What I really really want BW to have is a tower defense map/mode. :)
Since I started talking about editors, I'll just go ahead and show the PARPG one:
youtube-dl: vXqojPwGYj4 | tinyoggThe editor is all right, it seems to be a bit hard to get existing resources into the game though: they need to have a xml definition file for each image (hand-written I assume) and then you have to import them into the map with multiple mouse clicks.
You probably know of the lack of a maintainer for PARPG but there are also coding and asset-making jobs to do for Techdemo 2 - enter "2D" and "3D" into your browser's search function to filter out the art tasks. A list of 'good tasks for new programmers' was written, you also ask for guidance here. The current programmer's hot topic is "inventory and objects".
youtube-dl: NFoGyph_Bc4 | tinyoggFormido is a short top-down shoot-until-aliens-kill-you game. It is well-made, but I won't be coming back to it as I will be doing to Violetland.
youtube-dl: bRnHlyYJSlI | tinyoggDamnation of the Gods aims to become an enhanced Dungeon Master clone. Right now it is an old-school engine with a pleasant GUI which relies on freeware DMJ's assets. Assets is what the project mainly needs.. and maybe some guidance for a plot?..
youtube-dl: a6q4X3ZxKNM | tinyoggDragon History is a Czech-language (with some horrible but fun text translations) adventure game for scummVM. Its code is GPLv2-licensed. I got no reply yet after asking for the gfx and audio's license..
Did I already mention that my Linux game video recording troubles were over the day I discovered this guide to use ffmpeg for it?
Remember my high praise of krank? Well now thanks to above post you can finally witness [tinyogg] visuals and sound in motion!
Also, dear Linux users: get youtube-dl if you're unable to use the youtube website. It owns. Look for it in your software repository.
Oh wait, I forgot one piece of news:
youtube-dl: 3B4GVILtzIw | tinyoggSearch and Rescue 0.9 was released. Contrary to FlightGear I was able to get my vehicle into the air (on the third try ;) ). Sounds would not work but I kind of like the low-resolution textures. I'll have to play it a little more to figure out if there's more fun things to do besides crashing helicopters. ^^

A Nice Day
The front is through, the convergence zone has weakened, and a nice day beckons (gardening day for me!). Take a look at the latest high-resolution visible satellite image (attached). Mostly cloud free and sunny over central an southern Puget Sound, with a very weak residual convergence zone feature near Everett. Offshore you will see some scattered showers moving in, but they are very weak and most won't make it across the Olympics. So partly sunny and mid-40s over the Puget Sound lowlands and some minor snow showers over the Cascades. No precip in eastern Washington's Columbia Basin.
PS: For those that are interested, I will be talking about mountain meteorology and snow at REI on Thursday evening at 7 PM. And doing a book signing afterwards.
24 comments:
Speaking of mountain snow, it will be interesting to see tommorrow`s snowpack data from the NWAC.It appears that we are beginning to develop a winter drought here. Even though the medium range models recently have been forecasting a fairly typical late season zonal flow,in actuality the west coast high(and occasional split flow)have been the dominant features most of this month.Yesterday`s fizzling cold front/pseudo CZ was the latest disappointment. It will be interesting to see, after next weekend,whether the high pressure ever gets completely broken down. If not,it`s sure going to be a dull February,weatherwise.

The latest models do continue show split-flow through at least end of next week along with dry weather for the most part. However, GEM/Canadian models put showers and NW flow back in the picture by end of the week.
Hey Cliff...you said is gardening day for you. Cool. Do you ever stop in at Molbaks here down town Woodinville?
- January 31, 2009 at 1:07 PM
This high pressure ridge just won't go away. It truly is the ridge from hell. I never thought I'd crave the days of zonal flow. When's the last time a sub-990 mb low crossed the Queen Charlottes or Vancouver Island??? October 4?? Ridiculous!
But if the ridge from hell can park itself at 150W, my complaining will cease...

Agree with the other Anon, way too ridgy as of late. Looks like more of the same for the next 5 days. What is this, an El Nino winter? I really hope for a pattern shift in the second week of February, even if it's not snow, a windstorm or anything would be welcome.

Today is a nice day....though cool. And it`s better then it being gray and rainy.
- January 31, 2009 at 3:09 PM
- andycottle said...
18zGFS shows that after about Mon and after the warm front brushes our region, that we`ll be in a split flow pattern through most of the work week with thicknesses rising into the lower 550`s and 500mb heights getting into around the mid 560`s to maybe 570dm for brief time. And flow aloft looks to be SW-SSW and switching over to WNW flow for late in the weekend with weak high pressure just off shore keeping us mainly dry right through Sunday it appears. So taking for what it`s worth, should be a pretty nice week with partly skies and high likely in the 50`s.

I am all for the nice weather...it's a refreshing change from last two weeks in December.
Woo hooo!

You zonal flow junkies crack me up. You weirdos!!! I think I am a ridge junkie. Yes!!!! Ridges Rock!!!! Good weather in Queen Charlottes ---- bonus!!!! Haida Gwaii deserves some ACTION!!!!
Actually, I am so happy to find people who like weather!!!!!!! I am a weather GEEEK, wahoo!!!!
- January 31, 2009 at 6:47 PM
I guess it was a nice day... at least the sun actually came out.
I don't mind a bit of nice weather in wintertime, but it seems to me that we've only had two, maybe three weeks of winter this year. Think about it... November was incredibly dull, so was the first half of December, and now most of January we've been stuck under this ridge.
The worst part is that most of these days haven't even been sunny. Just dull and cloudy/foggy. It's not like summertime where it's warm and you want to be outside all the time. It's just boring and depressing.
More winter please... a windstorm would hit the spot right about now.

Here`s a picture of the evening sky from earlier this evening that I took here in Woodinville.

It was much worse than being gray and rainy. You couldn't even see it was so bright.

The sun is suppose to be bright.. :o)
- January 31, 2009 at 8:59 PM
At least we didn't wish for an Ice Storm. There could have been some weather geeks back east wishing for that before the big event.. Be careful what you wish for..
- January 31, 2009 at 9:19 PM
Anyone know... is "nice" a technical weather term? I can't find it in weather glossaries anywhere, but it apparently has a set definition in the meteorology field.
- January 31, 2009 at 9:33 PM
- WeatherNerd said...
I believe it is the same "Anonymous" person making very strange and mad comments about not liking "nice" weather--what MOST people would describe as providing pleasant temperatures and bright sunshine to enjoy and lighten the mood. I for one, love the sunshine in the winter when we can get it. I was in Bellingham today and it was absolutely beautiful.
I would enjoy a good windstorm and snowstorm and was in heaven the last half of December and am looking forward to more snow before winter is over. But man, enjoy the Northwest outdoors when we have days like this, that is why we love living here, right? Find something real to complain about.

Hey Cliff and all who read! I just moved here recently - within the past year - and want to know if this past year has just been very abnormal?
I had heard from so many people before I moved here that it was usually cloudy here, and that Seattle sees very little sun. That's the main reason I moved here. Well, the summer seemed to see nothing BUT endless sun and heat, and that has some bad effects on my body, it can't take it. I need some nice conditions once in awhile. When the winter came, it seemed to be a bit better, but there still seems to be a lot more sun than I've heard occurs here. I heard it was usually cloudy here for five or six consecutive months in winter - but I've seen a lot of sun this winter. Is this just abnormal? Does a lot of sun in winter like this year mean a nicer spring/summer than normal? I may have to move back away from this if this tremendous amount of sun is normal here.
I'm glad I found a place where I can ask this and maybe get an answer. Thanks!

Anonymous who needs to avoid the sun... you are done for in summer, my friend. It is very commonly very sunny from early July until mid to late September. It won't be super-hot, for the most part, though we do often get a few days to a week in the high 80s and 90s, but it will be clear and pretty.
Winters are often greyer on the whole than this one has been.

Also to the one whos looking for less sun. Think on those really cloudy, gloomy days, you will be wishing for sunshine. Any nice sunny days here in Western Wa are a bonus since there are`nt a lot of them during the winter.
- February 1, 2009 at 8:36 AM
There is no such thing as normal anymore

Chief Executive Tim Cook likes to say Apple Inc. has an advantage over competitors because it does three things well: hardware, software and services.
For much of the year, speculation about new hardware gets the lion's share of attention from obsessive Apple fans. But on Monday, software and services will be in the spotlight as Apple kicks off its weeklong Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
On the software side, the company is expected to unveil iOS 7, a redesigned version of its mobile operating system. And on the services side, the company is set to announce a new music streaming service, dubbed "iRadio" by Apple watchers, that reflects the broader changes in the way people pay for digital music.
Although analysts say the company doesn't face a make-or-break moment next week, the atmosphere surrounding the annual event will be much different from a year ago, when Apple's stock was on a tear and the company seemed invincible.
Now that growth in sales of its smartphones is slowing, observers say it's more essential that Apple strengthen its software and services to retain customers and find other ways to drive more revenue. It's that loyal following that Google Inc.'s Android developers have not quite managed to match.
"What Apple needs to communicate clearly is their pace of innovation and their ability to bring new experiences to the market is equal to or superior to the Android camp," said Charles Golvin, a Forrester Research analyst.
Apple's stock peaked at $702.10 last September. Since then, its dramatic falloff — shares closed at $441.81 on Friday — combined with the loss of global market share to rival Android's operating system, has caused some anxiety about the company's future among investors.
But for the moment, Apple's perceived challenges don't seem to have shaken the faith of the 5,000 developers who will be in attendance at the five-day conference. In part, that's because although Android has taken the lead in market share, many studies have shown that developers still make far more money designing apps for the iOS platform.
Developers' biggest gripe this year seems to be that tickets for the conference sold out within minutes, leaving many unable to attend.
Tim Burks, an independent iOS developer whose firm Radtastical Inc. is based in Palo Alto, is one of those who got shut out. Although he's disappointed to miss the main conference, he still plans to attend related events and talk to colleagues to get the latest developments.
"I think we're going to see incremental changes," Burks said. "I don't think there's going to be anything that's really going to be disruptive for app developers."
The first big announcement developers will be waiting to hear is the details of iOS 7. Last year, Cook dismissed the executive in charge of its mobile operating system and put Apple's hardware design guru, Jonathan Ive, in charge.
Ive reportedly has been busy discarding "skeuomorphic" elements, that is, digital elements designed to look like real-world items such as wooden bookshelves or leather casing on the address book. There is also a new, "flatter" look coming that removes some curved and three-dimensional imagery.
John Brewer, an independent app developer in Santa Cruz, hopes the overhaul doesn't go too far.
"I like the iOS look and feel," Brewer said. "I hope they don't depart too dramatically from it. But some of those skeuomorphic things, that just seems like gratuitous stuff that needs to change."
Developers are also expecting to hear details about how they can more closely integrate features such as the Siri voice assistant, Apple's mobile ads, and a rumored new payment service into their apps.
On the service side, the company appears ready to announce the iRadio streaming service after a week of furious deal-making with record labels. This week, sources confirmed that Apple had agreements with the three big music labels: Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony Music. The sources were not authorized to speak on the record.
The new service is said to be an ad-based, free streaming music service. It represents a major new step for Apple, which practically invented the digital download market for music.
But in more recent years, as gadgets have gotten more powerful and wireless networks have gotten faster, more users are turning to streaming and subscription services such as Pandora and Spotify, causing growth in sales of downloads to slow.
Apple is coming late to the streaming game, following announcements by Amazon.com Inc. and Google. But both Apple and the music companies are probably hoping iRadio will drive new ad revenue as well as discovery of new music that leads to more downloads.
"Apple is the world's biggest music retailer," said Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Assn. of America. "Combine their downloaded music collection with iRadio and it will be an interesting hybrid that is going to have a big effect on the industry."

Theater vs. Home
Here's something that's been on my mind lately: making an inventory of the nuances of difference between the theatrical and home video movie-watching experiences.
It is of course a happy truism that watching a movie in a theater is the inarguably ideal way to experience it. For a movie-lover, the theater is a sort of temple, and the experience touched with religiosity. You look up in hushed awe at the screen—in contrast, you look down at a TV screen, as Godard once noted—and the darkness dispatches all distraction, leaving only the light and sound emanating from the screen.
And then there's the enveloping scale of the image, which you can regulate in relative terms by sitting closer or farther away from the screen. Cinephiles often have their favorite rows and vantage points (when I'm alone: usually fourth or fifth row center; when I'm with others: based upon a process of grumbling and negotiation). Most of all, you relinquish control over the movie by submitting to its (unbroken and continuous) terms, accepting its rules of temporality.
And yet, and yet….there's a part of me that sees this hushed, worshipful submission to the terms dictated by the work of art as….a tad stifling. Here's one thing I believe with all my heart: art is meant for use. For use in our daily lives, to be incorporated and integrated into the very fiber and fabric of our quotidian existence. Home viewing can allow this to happen in slightly unique and different ways from theatrical viewing.
I like the "impurity" of the home video experience—the way you can enter the work in new, unfamiliar and changeable ways, interactively, both as a whole and in fragments, disrupting unity and linearity, developing an intimacy with it, committing aspects of it to memory, and thus making use of the work and making it part of yourself in fresh ways.
I'm reminded of the memorable opening passage of Calvin Tomkins' 1965 book, The Bride And The Bachelors: Five Masters Of The Avant-Garde:
One day in 1957, speaking as a "mere artist" before a learned seminar on contemporary aesthetics in Houston, Texas, Marcel Duchamp proposed a somewhat surprising definition of the spectator's role in that mysterious process known as the creative act. The artist, Duchamp said, is a "mediumistic being" who does not really know what he is doing or why he is doing it. It is the spectator who, through a kind of "inner osmosis," deciphers and interprets the work's inner qualifications, relates them to the external world, and thus completes the creative cycle. The spectator's contribution is consequently equal in importance to the artist's, and perhaps in the long run even greater, for, as Duchamp remarked in another context, "it is posterity that makes the masterpiece." Like so many of the ideas put forward by Duchamp, who has for years been the most enigmatic presence in contemporary art, this theory tends to make a great many artists uncomfortable. Artists, as a rule, do not like to think of themselves as mediumistic beings who blindly perform only one part of the creative act, and their attitude toward the spectator is not always one of respectful collaboration.
Much as the theatrical viewing experience richly allows this collaboration to take place, I think that home viewing, by giving the spectator a certain degree of control, can make available alternative avenues and opportunites. Even before the age of home viewing, this mode of watching films was not entirely unknown. Jonathan Rosenbaum writes in his essay on Manny Farber:
Discontinuous viewing was [Farber's] way of watching a movie, a method he shared with Godard; if a movie he liked such as Ordet was being shown several times in the campus screening room over a given week, he'd turn up each time for a different reel or two—or maybe even for the same reels, whatever happened to be on.
Sometimes, I even imagine the possibilities of software that will allow us to make "mixtapes" of shots and sequences on DVD, assembled together in some personally designed order. Or alternatively, watch a mixtape DVD on "shuffle" to set off new resonances and make unexpected connections.
There is nothing I love more than a theatrical screening, but the fact that I live in a smaller city forces me to look extra-eagerly to exploiting the capabilities of the DVD format. Watching movies in a theater is a big deal for me. There are no repertory theaters in Buffalo, and so the theatrical experience becomes part of a larger project of careful planning, road trips, and anticipatory preparation like reading. I cherish these experiences—they are real "events"—but for me they are limited to only a couple (or at most, a few) times a month. The rest of the time, what I have available to me is DVD/video.
Now I'd like to ask you: What your ideas on the subject? Your signal theatrical experiences and memories if you want to share any? The benefits and drawbacks of how we watch movies? How do movies affect you, or stay with you, any differently in the theater than at home? Are there certain kinds of cinema better suited to theater, or to home? In what ways does home viewing compromise the work, or attenuate it? In terms of production of critical thought on movies, how do these two viewing environments differ? How is film criticism enhanced—or hampered—by widespread reliance on DVD? And any other aspects of theater vs. home that you'd like to bring up or chat about.
I'd like to send a shout-out to Jen Macmillan at Invisible Cinema and her Leonard Cohen blog-a-thon. What I'm bringing to her party is a small cooler containing mp3's:
I like Cohen's music a lot, but I have a special—perhaps heretical!—weakness for the period that begins in 1987, when he (1) discovered synthesizers, and (2) dropped his singing voice to the bottom of the ocean into the bass register. "Everybody Knows" is off the album I'm Your Man, and I will always remember it from the disturbing strip club scene with Mia Kirshner in schoolgirl uniform in Atom Egoyan's Exotica. Off The Future, here is the title tune, and "Waiting For A Miracle".
I'm a big fan of the Detroit duo Was (Not Was) who made several eclectic records in the late 80s/early 90s. Neither of them—Don or David Was—was comfortable with his own voice, so they wrote twisted ditties for famous guest vocalists to sing. (I'll be doing a full entry of these warped match-ups soon.) On the record Are You Okay?, here's Leonard Cohen singing (or should I say rapping?) a mighty strange tune called "Elvis's Roll Royce".
Jennifer Warnes made a Leonard Cohen cover record in 1986 called Famous Blue Raincoat. The best tune on it is the opener, "First We Take Manhattan". I have fond memories of buying this on vinyl and discovering that it was the best-sounding LP I had ever heard: the immaculate recording and mastering; the clear shiny arrangements; and a delicious snare drum thwack! that leaps right off the wax. (You'll see what I mean when you hear the tune.) The little vinyl snob in me still thinks that the LP sounds a tad better—warmer—but the CD sounds really great too. The highlight of the tune: fantastic lead guitar intro, fills and solo by a then-little-known session player, Stevie Ray Vaughan.

As long as I'm repeating myself, , or *ahem* being recursive…
One of the things about writing a blog that, every once in a blue moon when the stars align, tries to be helpful is that once you post about something… you tend not to repost about the same thing.
I said it once. Saying it again would be redundant and wasteful of your time, right?
Yeah, um… I've been writing this thing a long time now.
Some of you… some of you may not have been around reading this tripe when I posted about somethng I use and find enormously helpful, say, a year and a half ago.
I never assume that new readers go back and read the archives.
I just assume I never get new readers.
I keep on going, assuming I'm talking to the same crowd that's been hanging out since I started.
So, sure, why would I tell you all the same stuff? You already know it.
But I DO have newer readers, and there is one software tool that is well worth my reminding you of, or telling you about, just in case you haven't come across it before.
And that is the ever awesome Rawr.
In the words of the author;
Rawr is a program for comparing and exploring gear for Bears, Cats, Moonkin, Healadins, Retadins, Mages, ProtWarriors, Trees, Hunters, Tankadins, HealingPriests, ShadowPriests, EnhShams, and DPS & Tank Death Knights, in the MMORPG, World of Warcraft. Rawr has been designed from the start to be fun to use, and helpful in finding better combinations of gear, and what gear to obtain.
- Extremely user friendly, graphical, fast, easy to use interface.
- Automatically handles items. The ability to load your character from the Armory, automatically download info about items it doesn't know about, download info about possible upgrades, and download info about specific items you tell it to, ensure that you won't need to type in any item stats with Rawr.
- The most comprehensive, and most accurate system for calculating your character stats, and ratings for individual items, based on your current gear, enchants, and buffs.
I have used Rawr in it's various forms for years. It may not be perfect, but it's an incredibly powerful tool to help you figure out what gear upgrades you should be looking for, and where they come from for a LOT of different classes and specs.
If you used Rawr in the past, it used to only be for Druids, and feral druids at that. They've consistently expanded and added new classes and specs though, so go back and give it a shot. It's a lot of fun to tinker with. 🙂
Sometimes there are items in it's database that may indeed exist, but aren't available to you to find from Wowhead, so it can be a mite difficult to track down where these upgrades actually can be found. It does happen.
But honestly… give it a go, have fun, and see what you think of it.
There are a lot of mods and addons and software choices out there. This is one that, if you are so inclined, ought to see a few donations from those that can, because the work and effort that has gone into making this a quality job is pretty great.
And for those of us that HAVE been using it for a long time… tell me what your personal experiences with Rawr have been for you. Have you found inaccuracies in it's gear choices for your talent spec, even after you entered in your talents and your rotation in it's guts? Did you just disagree with some of it's recommendations? Or did it rock your world, chula, and make you a god among players?

Colorado Early Colleges, a charter high school designed to earn college credits for its students, is opening a campus in Parker. The building near Lincoln Avenue and Parker Road is the third location for the school, launched in Colorado Springs in 2007.
A total of 215 students already are enrolled to start classes in Parker on Aug. 12. The school is still accepting applications for its first semester.
The free public high school helps its students earn college credits along with their high school diplomas.
Early Colleges is aimed at both students who are college-bound and those who might not otherwise have considered college, offering the opportunity to earn associate degrees and concurrent enrollment credits to use toward higher degrees.
"We want every student to be successful and have the opportunity to get as many college credits as they can while they're still in high school," said John Etzell, head of school at Colorado Early Colleges' Douglas County campus. "A lot of high schools are doing concurrent enrollment. While they are branching out into that market, it is our 100 percent focus."
Colorado Early Colleges was founded by Colorado Springs City Council President Keith King, a former state senator. King was moved by what he saw as a lack of post-secondary education options.
"Especially for students who may not have thought they were college material," Etzell said. "If they were ready and wanted to put in the work, he would design a school and system that would allow students to achieve more while they were in high school at zero cost to them.
"The only cost a student has is the responsibility cost. It is hard work."
School leaders first consult with students to determine the right educational track.
"If they come in and aren't sure what they want to do, we'll sit down and work backwards, (ask them) `What are you interested in?'" Etzell said. "We'll start from there and work our way back."
Classes are offered both on and off campus. The Douglas County branch has a partnership with Arapahoe Community College for its professors to teach nine college-level classes. It also has agreements with ACC, Red Rocks, Front Range and Pikes Peak community colleges, Metro State and the University of Colorado-Denver that allow its students to attend those schools.
Parents receive a $4,200 voucher, a portion of Colorado Early Colleges' per-pupil state funding, to use toward tuition and books.
Some students earn associates degrees and start work upon graduating from Colorado Early Colleges.
For those wishing to attend a four-year college, "This gives them an opportunity to get the first two years (of college) out of the way at zero cost, so they can enter whatever four-year university they're planning to attend as juniors and get right into their field of study," Etzell said. "We've got students who every year are Ivy League-bound, and students who every year graduate with culinary art degrees and go into the workforce as chefs."
Etzell said the Parker school received a waiver from the Douglas County School District's exclusive chartering authority, and instead is authorized through the Colorado Charter School Institute.
Colorado Early Colleges has about 1,100 students at its Colorado Springs and Fort Collins campuses.

Eudora's BlueJacket Crossing Vineyard and Winery is among Kansas wineries expected to be pouring at the Winesong at Riverfest wine tasting event in De Soto. BlueJacket Crossing 's 2009 vintage of the Off-Dry Vignoles was a gold medal winner at the Finger Lake's International Wine Competition.
Stories this photo appears in:
More wineries, more elbow room expected for this year's Winesong at Riverfest
Organizers learned two big lessons after turning hundreds away from the inaugural Winesong at Riverfest wine tasting event in De Soto. People — a lot of people, it turns out — are interested in trying Kansas wine. And, in order to better accommodate them, this year's event would need some major tweaking.

Blizzard's Titan is 'next-gen MMO'
Titan is not just the name of Blizzard's latest mystery title - it's also the name of what the developer has tantalisingly called a "next-gen MMO".
"The media is not supposed to know anything about that. It's our next-gen MMO project," Blizzard's senior VP Frank Pearce told Destructoid.
"We've only started talking about it in a limited fashion because we want to leverage the fact that we're working on something like that for the purpose of recruiting - getting some of the best talent in the industry on that project."
Of course, the exact meaning of "next-gen MMO" is entirely up to debate. Could it mean an MMO for Xbox 360 and PS3? Quite possibly.
Titan is due out in Q4 2013.

|Flows into the bond and equity funds of developing countries rallied in the second half of this year amid stabilization of financial markets and quantitative easing in high income countries. Following a weak second quarter due to financial market tumult, growth has picked up in the developing world, notably in China – although output growth slowed in India and South Africa due to country-specific factors. The strengthening of developing-country activity (and imports) has been reflected in a modest improvement in high income country growth, but the continuing weakness in the Euro Area, fiscal uncertainties in the United States, and weak Japanese sales to China have limited the overall improvement.
|Foreign portfolio flows to developing countries rallied in the second half of 2012. Capital flows into emerging market bond and equity funds have picked up since July, in line with the general improvement in global financial conditions. After $9.6 billion exited equity funds in May/June, some $10 billion flowed in during September-November. Overall, net inflows for 2012 through end November reached $22 billion. This is a marked improvement from $41.2 billion outflow during the first 11 months of 2011, but only a third of the inflows in 2010. In comparison, flows to emerging-market fixed-income (bond) funds were relatively stable in the May/June period. Inflows into bond funds have totaled $61.6 billion in the year to date, more than twice the $25.7 billion in 2011 and surpassing the $60.2 billion received during the same period in 2010.
|GDP growth for developing countries as a whole picked up in the third quarter, but weakened in a few due to country-specific factors. Partly as a result of stimulus measures and bolstered by improving US growth (see below), GDP growth in China picked up to a 9.1% annualized rate in the third quarter, up from 8.2% in Q2 and 6.1% in Q1. Russia's growth also picked up to 2.3% in Q3, supported by a rise in crude oil prices (itself reflecting the strengthening of global activity). The pace of expansion in Brazil also improved, but remained modest at 1.3% (versus 0.8% in Q2). In contrast, mining tensions caused South Africa's growth to slow from 3.4% in Q2 to 1.2% in Q3. In India, annualized GDP growth slowed from 5.8% to 3.8% as a result of delayed monsoon rains and weak industrial activity. In other developing countries, output growth accelerated from 3.7% in Q2 to 4.3% in Q3. Overall, GDP growth in developing countries remains 4 percentage points higher than in high income countries.
|Following several quarters of deceleration, growth in high income countries has also started to improve, partly in response to an increase in developing country imports. Reflecting both weak Euro Area domestic demand and accelerating developing country imports, rising net exports moderated the annualized pace of GDP decline in the Euro Area from –0.7% in the second quarter to –0.2% in the third quarter. In the US, GDP growth strengthened to 2.7% in Q3, from 1.3% in Q2, as the housing sector started to rebound after years of consolidation. The recovery would have been stronger had uncertainty over fiscal policy not contributed to a decline in investment spending. In Japan, an end to earlier stimulus measures plus weak demand from China (in part due to island-related disputes) led to a 3.5% contraction in Q3 GDP. In other high income countries GDP growth picked up modestly to 1.5% in Q3 from 0.4% in Q2.

Homemade Christmas Baby Gift: Crinkle, Crinkle Little Star
I am participating in a fun Christmas
stocking stuffer exchange
with several other bloggy families.
I've been whipping up some fun
home-made crafty goodies
for the kiddos.
(They are a variety of ages, so I've made
different projects for each age group.)
I have a 10 month old
as one of my exchange recipients,
(as well as an adorable 7 month old niece!)
I made a couple of these sweet
little fleece crinkle stars
for the (baby) girls.
Do you recognize the fabric from our
I just cut out two identical stars
with my pinking shears,
then sewed around the edges with my
sewing machine and added some
crinkly cellophane in the center.
A soft, baby-safe, crinkly toy.
Pssst... just add some cat nip and they
would make great toys for any
kitties on your xmas list!
(I'll post my kitty catnip mice later!)

New Porsche 981 Cayman spotted doing final testing - VideoThe 981 Cayman is wrapping up final testing and we hope for the official reveal in the next couple months. A spy photographer captured it here wearing minimal camouflage. The Cayman will share the drivetrain of the new 981 Boxster so no surprises here. The Cayman S will have a 3.4 liter flat-6 with 315 horsepower (maybe a 5 HP boost) and the Cayman will have a 2.7 liter with 265 horsepower. Check out our renderings here to get an idea of what the finished product will look like.
This article was originally published in forum thread: New Porsche 981 Cayman spotted doing final testing - Video started by Sticky View original post17 Comments
The 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera, codenamed 991 for no particular reason other than Porsche is running out of codenames beginning with '9, and this one was still available, for now available as a rear-drive coupe but soon to be joined by a full pipeline of variants. The standard Carrera uses a direct-injection 3.4-litre 350bhp flat-six de-stroked from the old 3.6-litre for fuel savings, while the Carrera S has a 394bhp 3.8-litre that is mostly carry-over.
A cool upgrade may be the 3.8 crank and rods...
Again, I know little about Porsche, but I am guessing that the initial bore is for the smaller displacement and then they bore the block out for the extra 0.2 cc? I am truly clueless when it comes to the Porsche engines. Back in the day sleeves were used. I don't think they are anymore though...

To begin with, you should have bought and installed Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One and Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Source SDK (free tool) and Source SDK 2007 (free tool) before you go any further on this thread. Support for pirated versions of these games will not be provided here.
What's happening?
Valve has changed their way of delivering their games by means of SteamPipe. Source games will no longer use GCF files, the very files FAKEFACTORY's mod depend upon, instead Source games will depend on the VPK format. This has rendered Cinematic Mod faulty. Upon attempting to launch the mod, you will receive an error reading something like this.
MountAppFilesystem() Failed you don't have all the GCFs required to play this game.
FAKEFACTORY is working on a port for SDK 2013 which would resolve this problem. I hope Valve and/or Steam is also going to make easy support for SDK 2007 mods once again.
GCF files needed by FAKEFACTORY Cinematic Mod 12
episode 1 shared.gcf
episode one 2007 content.gcf
episode two content.gcf
episode two maps.gcf
episode two materials.gcf
episodic 2007 shared.gcf
half-life 2 2007 base content.gcf
half-life 2 content.gcf

Quick fix
Go to your steamapps directory and see which files you are missing. By default this directory is located at:
64-bit Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps
32-bit Windows:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps
If you have mac, google on where to find your gcf files because I sure as hell don't know.
If you are missing only a few files, specifically half life 2 episode two english.gcf, visit this thread instead. Note that you might need to uninstall ALL HL2 games before re-installing them.
Or you could just read ahead.
Full fix
Now I know user Deli has provided the community with GCF files already, but it simply didn't contain all the files needed.
Please note that this is a fix for your English game version. If you're a non-english user you might need to get additional language files.
I will provide you with a torrent containing all the files needed in order for Cinematic Mod 12 to run.
All you need is a torrent client, such as uTorrent and this file:
Click the bronze colored Download Torrent button, or use the magnet link. Open with uTorrent or any other bit torrent client.
Open README.txt and follow instructions.
You can also download the GCF files manually from these sources:
http://forum.csmania.ru/viewtopic.php?t=8535 (Google Translate)
This worked for me and I hope it does for you too.
If someone would make an installer out of this (that can locate the ep2 directory for the soundfix), that would be pretty cool.

Format : jpg/jpeg.
Coffee tables are frequently the central focus of a living area and therefore have a tremendous impact on a rooms decor and ambiance. A wise choice can create a feeling of style and harmony whilst a poor choice can make a room look disordered and can overwhelm the other furniture, making the room look smaller and feel less unified. The choices that you make regarding the size, shape, cost, material and style of the coffee table are thus vitally important to making your living room a welcoming space and setting the tone that you desire for your home.

Typically, you might expect a year with big releases to be much more exciting than a lull year like we have coming up in 2014 in terms of Microsoft product releases. But nothing could be further from the truth.
We are seeing the retirement of not one, but two Microsoft fixures: Windows XP and Steve Ballmer. Technical assistance and upgrades cease for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. And Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft since 2000, will pass the torch on to a new, as-yet-unnamed leader. These two key changes alone are enough to ensure 2014 will be an exciting year.
[ What you need to know to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
With Microsoft retiring XP and hammering home the fact it won't provide any more security fixes for the classic OS, many IT admins are scrambling to move their people to either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. I expect to see Windows 7 become the front-runner for enterprise migration primarly because Windows 8.1 is so radically different in its UI, as it is designed for a touch interface that means a hefty investment in new PCs for most enterprises. Still, I expect to see Windows 8.1 systems enter the enterprise as new hardware is purchased, especially in the form of x86-based Windows 8 tablets such as Microsoft's Surface Pro 2 that support domain control and Group Policy.
Either way, the move off XP is going to be a key focus for most in 2014 -- and there's more coming.
Early in 2014 we'll see Exchange, SharePoint, and Office all getting Service Pack 1 updates. We will also see a major release: SQL Server 2014. I am expecting a Windows Phone 8.1 release in the spring that, according to rumors, will have a Siri-like assistant feature called Cortana. Around the time of the Windows Phone 8.1 release may come an update to Windows 8.1 (8.2, perhaps) that will finally return the full Start menu, according to the rumors. Apparently someone is yielding to reason (and the cry of the masses) for a more flexible desktop deployment of Windows 8. Had this been done from the outset, we might have seen enterprises migrate to Windows 8 rather than to Windows 7. C'est la vie.
We should also see steady changes in Microsoft's cloud-based offerings like Office 365 (SharePoint, Exchange, Lync, and subscription Office). No doubt we will continue to see a heavy focus on Azure improvements as more businesses look to cloud to replace their data centers. Whether that is truly the best move will be a big topic for debate in 2014 as well.
Because of Ballmer's retirement and the new management organization he put in place earlier this year, 2014 will also be when the "new" Microsoft solidifies and takes Ballmer's strategy of becoming a services-and-devices company into the next phase. The ultimate goal apparently is to have one core Windows with multiple versions. This next wave, code-named "Threshold," is still a long way off, but the interesting theme appears to be unification of Xbox One, Windows, and Windows Phone. That, combined with an increased push to subscription cloud services like Office 365 and Azure, could truly provide a "new and improved" Microsoft.
This process started in 2013, but we will see it truly take shape in 2014 -- an exciting year ahead indeed.

Insurance is a necessary part of life
Having insurance is a necessary part of life, according to one of Borger's insurance agents. Jud Price, agent for Upshaw and Brown Insurance, spoke at the Borger Rotary Club Tuesday about keeping the important things in life insured. He said one of the benefits of working for Upshaw and Brown is being able to work with various companies. Companies are changing on a daily basis with their underwriting and guidelines. He said if one company changes, he can check with others to find the best deal for his customers. During his time working for Farm Bureau Insurance prior to coming to Upshaw and Brown, Price said he was told the personal touch would be lost working for an independent insurance agency. "That's not the case. We deal with them on a daily basis, all these companies," he said. "I feel like I've got the best of both worlds with what I'm doing. I can find the best place to put my customers and at the same time we can provide the best service for you, too." He said the agency has two full-time agents that deal with claims and help customers deal with the insurance adjusters to make the process easier for them. Price said not only is insurance required from the State of Texas when it comes to certain assets, but it is a transfer of risk. A customer is taking a risk off his or her shoulders, putting it on an insurance company's shoulders, and paying the premium for it. "Basically, the number one reason you need to have insurance is to protect your assets," he said. When it comes to limits of liability on car insurance policies, Price said the state-required minimum is 30-60-25. If a person has a car accident, the insurance company is going to pay $30,000 for each person injured in the accident for the party that was hit. It will pay up to $60,000, and $25,000 in property damages. Price said it is important for a person to have an insurance agent to go over such details with him or her. If a person has a lot of assets or a high-profile job, and ends up involved in an accident, he or she could be vulnerable to lawsuits. Price said it is important for people to be prepared in such situations. He said he had the opportunity to intern in England while in college where he visited Lloyd's of London, which he describes as the "Insurance Mecca." There is a large bell in the middle of the building that is rung whenever a large loss takes place. He said the company insures some of the most unusual things, including fingers and arms. "If you've got it, they can insure it," Price said. When it comes to limits of liability, he said there are things that need to be considered, one of those being a family with teenage drivers. He said this could make a family more susceptible if an accident occurs involving a teenager. "That's how you determine what your limits of liability will be for auto insurance," Price said. When it comes to homeowners insurance, he said one question he is asked fairly often is why it is so expensive. He said a house must be insured for its replacement cost. He said this cost amounts to what it would cost to rebuild someone's home at today's construction costs. "In Borger, TX, the market value of your house may be $100,000, but if you rebuild that house, it may be $200,000," Price said. He said factors that could affect this include whether a house is bricked, its age, its roof, its bathroom style, and various others. Most agents measure a home's value at $100 per square foot. He said if a person's home costs $100,000, and half of it burns, and a $100,000 policy covers $100,000 worth of repairs, it would not be proportionate. He said this is why such policies are set up in the way that they are. They have to be set up in a proportionate value to loss. Price said homeowners can find different ways to get discounts on their insurance, one of those being having a Class Four roof. Other things that may result in discounts include the age of the house or having a multi-policy setup where various assets are covered under one company. Another type of insurance Price says is important is life insurance. He said it is not fun to talk about, but he considers it the most important insurance a person can purchase. He said life insurance helps cover funeral expenses, because they are a burden for many families. He also said insurance helps take care of the bills. "There's not a guy in my position that shouldn't have less than a million dollars of life insurance," Price said. He said when it comes to life insurance, most people seem reluctant to buy it because it covers something that isn't tangible. When it comes to purchasing insurance, Price said most people go to the Internet to look for insurance prices. However, he said, it's important for people to have that face-to-face interaction with a local agent that they can trust and has their best interest at heart. "You don't need it until something happens, and when something happens, you need someone to be there to help you," he said.

** (out of four)
Is it asking too much that a movie about a married couple trying to recapture the spark avoid something as obvious as Al Green's "Let's Stay Together?"
Apparently. "Hope Springs" has no interest in surprise or unearthing anything below the surface. Sure, closed-off grump Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) wouldn't admit that his 31-year marriage to Kay (Meryl Streep) classifies as anything less than rosy. She makes his breakfast each morning and doesn't complain when he falls asleep in front of a TV that's always set to golf. ("It's like being married to ESPN," she eventually admits.) Kay, however, longs to recapture a "real" marriage, and she thinks a weekend with Maine marriage counselor Dr. Feld (Steve Carell) could shake the dust off this Omaha couple that hasn't had sex in close to five years.
In fact, sex represents nearly all that first-time feature screenwriter Vanessa Taylor ("Game of Thrones") has on her mind. Dr. Feld asks questions almost exclusively focused on Arnold and Kay's sex life and fantasies. The questions are legitimate. Physical harmony, of course, counts for a lot in a relationship, and "Hope Springs" deserves points for embracing that aspect of its 60-something characters' lives. Clearly, years of poor communication and the resulting emotional distance have fueled the physical gap between Arnold and Kay that's far greater than the space between them on Dr. Feld's couch. The trouble in the latest shallow effort from director David Frankel ("The Big Year," "Marley and Me") comes from the characterization of a tired marriage without nuance (unlike, say, the beautiful and heartbreaking portrait of aging love in "Away From Her"). Anyone glancing at Kay and Arnold can spot their unhappiness; their names may as well be "sad woman" and "grouchy cheapskate."
"Hope Springs" resists getting too cutesy with its small-town setting (a la "The Magic of Belle Isle") or overdoing its sex jokes, though awkwardly underplaying Kay gripping cookie dough in the grocery store and considering using a banana for a certain kind of practice results in neither a laugh nor a moment of truth with the right tone. It goes without saying that Streep and Jones can deliver when required, and when Kay and Arnold put some effort into each other and relive the old days, the actors capture a shared history between people trying to prevent it from being nothing more than history. Mostly, though, this soft-peddled tale asks us to wait around until these people recognize what we see immediately, resting on simple notions of romantic detachment and tropes like playing on the kitchen floor as the epitome of sexual adventurousness.
"Hope Springs" becomes what Arnold fears ordering at the upscale diner in Great Hope Springs, Maine: comfort food whose flavor doesn't justify the price.

DENVER — Two hedge-fund partners — monogrammed shirts, taut Windsor knots, cuff links — step into a hipster cafe called Sputnik on an unorthodox mission.
They are meeting a business consultant to discuss a way to boost share prices at one of their portfolio companies, which sells indoor garden kits for tomatoes, herbs, flowers and salad greens. Their idea is to tap into a new market, one they need to be discreet about for fear of blemishing the publicly traded company's reputation:
PHOTOS: Marijuana entrepreneurs rushing to Colorado
Similar meetings have been taking place across Colorado in the two months since state voters approved a constitutional amendment allowing the adult use of recreational weed. The state has become a nucleus of the rapidly evolving marijuana industry, offering a glimpse at what life might be like if weed is legalized nationwide, with companies, entrepreneurs and investors maneuvering for a piece of the expected boom.
Dispensaries are handing out glossy prospectuses to lure investors. Luxury cannabis leisure magazines in the vein of Cigar Aficionado are promoting the industry and cannabis tourism. Companies are jostling for various sectors of the market, from grow lights to point-of-sale systems. And marijuana growers are shedding the pothead vibe to sell their services to MBAs, who may have the capital to get started but not the arcane knowledge required to produce good weed.

The Badgers have put a quite a few players in the NFL over the last number of years, and out of all of them, J.J. Watt is the one that stands out. Watt has quickly become possibly the league's best defensive player in short order topped off by winning the 2012 NFL defensive player of the year award. Watt is a monster of a football player, standing 6'5", and 295 pounds, so it easy to see how he could become what he has become. However, before you expect even bigger things from Watt in 2013, I may some bad news for you. History does not favor Watt at the moment.
If you look throughout recent NFL history, plenty of players have had a big breakout season, 2-4 seasons or so into their NFL careers. This gets everyone all excited about their limitless potential, possibly even expecting bigger things from that player the following season, which even places somewhat of unrealistic expectations on that player. History shows us that very few players ever replicate success the following season after their big "breakout" year, especially defensive players. In fact, we need to look no further than our own Green Bay Packers as an example of this.
Injuries Slow Down The Pass Rusher Every Time
In 2010 Clay Matthews, Tramon Williams, and B.J. Raji all had huge breakout seasons. Matthews was a force off the edge all season that year, recording 13.5 sacks and being named to his second Pro Bowl. Tramon Williams had raised the depth chart to become the Packers cover corner opposite the now departed Charles Woodson. Williams started all 16 games, recorded six interceptions, and was named to his first Pro Bowl. Raji had a breakout year, not in terms of numbers, but in terms of performance, and was named to the Pro Bowl as well. Oh yeah, these three, along with Woodson, anchored the Packers defense on their way to their Super Bowl victory that season. As a result of these performances, all three had very high expectations placed on them for the following season, and none of them replicated their 2010 performances. Matthews recorded just six sacks in 2011, Raji played too many snaps, and Williams began to deal with injury problems.
What does this tell us about J.J. Watt? Well, it's very simple; before you expect even bigger things, remember that history does not favor J.J. Watt in terms of duplicating his 2012 success next season.

Snapshot of Google Trends obtained today showing no future trends for KDE
A few days ago i checked out Google Trends for the first time. I wanted to checkout this tool first hand because everyone on the internet seems to talking about it these days about how good it is. It looks looks like any other graph. It is rumoured to be a very powerful tool and is supposed to accurately show various search trends over the years for various search terms. As such the tool is very easy to use you. I could add a maximum of five search terms on the left hand side. As soon as i enter the search terms on the left hand side of the tool it seemed to tell me how often people around the world have been searching for various terms since 2004. I can imagine Google Trends to be a very basic form of data warehousing and data mining front end tool.
While i was messing around with the tool i noticed two check boxes at the top right hand side. One is labelled "New Headlines" and other "Forecast". The Headlines check box is turned ON by default and the tool seems to try and correlate news headlines with search trends. I at once thought that this feature has a lot of hidden potential. I noticed that when i turn ON the other check box the graph extrapolates into the future along x axis(years) probably based on past data of searches made in Google search engine. Future trends are plotted in dotted lines whereas past data is in the form of a contiguous line.
Now comes the interesting part. I tried to check out the search / popularity trends for the various desktop environments available for Linux namely GNOME, KDE, XFCE, LXDE. As expected KDE started out with higher search numbers (2004) and somewhere around 2005 GNOME surpassed KDE . Then was was revenge of sorts when KDE surpassed its rival GNOME in the beginning of 2008. But GNOME snatched the lead again around second quarter of 2008 and maintains a thin lead over KDE till date. XFCE started with good stats in 2004 but couldn't keep pace with its siblings KDE and GNOME and is now seems to be fighting for a niche market share with its main competitor LXDE which emerged on scene around first quarter of 2008.
All was well and good until i turned ON the dreaded "forecast" check box to check future trends of the desktop environments. Google seems to be adamant and denies that KDE will exist in near future. I couldn't find an dotted extension for the green line in the above snapshot. It does show a descending curve for GNOME and a stable unwavering lines for XFCE and LXDE. At first when i noticed this a few days ago i thought that it was an anomaly in the tool and decided to checkout the tool later. Bit when i checked it out again today i can confirm that dotted line for KDE is till missing.
Why is the dotted line for KDE missing?
I guess, only time will provide answers to all these questions. Signing off after attaching a live gadget from google trends.
- Is it because "Canonical pulled the plug on Kubuntu" ?
- Is it because Google doesn't have enough search data about KDE that it is not able to show future trends ?
- Is it a prophecy of some sort from Google that KDE would cease to exist ?
- Or is there a bug in Google Trends ?
Update(24 NOV2012 10:25 GMT)
Did somebody knock on Google's doors and inform them about the bug. KDE does have a future now :-) It is weird that this bug was there for over one week and after writing this article it disappears. Thank you Google for the quick fix. I have to admit that future is not too rosy though.
KDE has future now :-)

Sophia Grace and Rosie Meet Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum + More at the Grammys
The Grammy red carpet was aflutter with stars of all kinds on Sunday night, but none so cute perhaps as 8-year-old Sophia Grace Brownlee and her 5-year-old sidekick Rosie, who were covering the red carpet for 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show.' The girls, who were discovered via YouTube, have been seen on past episodes of 'Ellen' rapping, meeting Nicki Minaj and even serving as Ellen's correspondents at the American Music Awards.
Because the tiara and tutu-clad, high-voiced little girls from Essex, England, with their adorable British accents, did such a great job covering the AMAs, Ellen sent them to the Grammys, where they met stars like Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Flo Rida and Maroon 5. When the girls met Lady Antebellum for their second time this past weekend (the first was at the AMAs), Hillary Scott asked who their favorite star is that they've met so far, and without skipping a beat Sophia Grace answered, "You!"
After a short "bubble party" with Lady A on camera, the girls met up with some of their favorite pop acts, with Rosie telling Rihanna she's her favorite singer. Then, pointing to her own gold, sparkling shirt, Sophia Grace began to speculate about what it was going to be like to meet Taylor Swift.
"I bet you any money that Taylor Swift, when she comes up, she'll be wearing gold because gold really suits her, and in a magazine I've got it's got gold in all of it. So I bet you she'll be wearing gold," she dished to viewers. When the cameras show the country starlet making her entrance across the way, a high-pitched squeal of delight can be heard from about three feet above the red carpet. "It's Taylor Swift!" Sophia screamed. "And she's wearing gold!"
After talking to the girls for a bit, Swift looked at the 'Ellen' cameras and said what everyone else was thinking. Pointing down at the girls she just gushed, "This is cute." Having seen their favorite stars, the bedazzled little girls ended their dream day with a giant helping of cotton candy.

It\'s not just stock prices that are elevated. Bonds and housing are also looking quite pricey, Yale economics professor and Nobel laureate Robert Shiller warned on CNBC Tuesday.
Fresh off penning a widely discussed article in the New York Times over the weekend in which he agonized over how to explain \"very expensive\" stock prices, Shiller reiterated his concern that anxiety over the future may be contributing to potentially overpriced assets.
Shiller told CNBC that the bond market \"is looking expensive.\" He said it was strange to see the real interest rate on 30-year Treasury inflation protected securities, or TIPS, at less than 1%, and also noted that the rate was negative as recently as 2012.
\"How can it be that people think we can't get a riskless return in real terms for 30 years? There's something bizarre. That looks a little bit like a bubble as well. So the whole thing might correct—both bonds and stocks,\" Shiller said.
Shiller said he\'s also been \"kind of surprised\" by the housing market, which is up around 25% since the 2009 low (and even more in some cities).
\"We\'re seeing a sort of boom in the housing market,\" he said. \"We\'ve got stocks and bonds highly priced and now we\'re starting to see maybe housing going in the same direction. It\'s like everything is pricey.\"
Shiller looped back to his weekend article, which laid some but not all of the blame on the idea that anxiety can actually spur investors to grab on to any available asset, pushing up prices.
\"Worries about the future can actually cause asset markets to be priced highly … When the Titanic was going down, people would pay a fortune for anything that floats. I'm exaggerating, of course, but that might be the situation we're in now,\" he said.
Shiller\'s Times piece focused mainly on his widely cited stock valuation measure, the cyclically adjusted price-earnings, or CAPE, ratio. The CAPE remains far above its 20th Century average of 15.21, clocking in Tuesday at around 26.19.
Asked if it was fair to argue that a historically high CAPE might be justified by the higher proportion of tech firms and other higher-margin companies in the S&P 500 in the 21st century, Shiller was dismissive, noting that investors have long attempted in vain to come up with \"special factors\" to negate long-term valuation trends. He referred back to a book by Irving Fisher published in 1930 that argued there were sound reasons for the high valuations of the 1920s. \"You can always construct arguments like that,\" he said.
