Seeing any full size Ford Bronco from the 80s in decent shape is an increasingly rare occurrence. Seeing a full size Ford Bronco from the 80s in decent shape that can run a 10 second 1/4 mile is beyond rare—it's downright unbelievable.
We have the Land of the Hoons to thank for taking this decades old full size SUV and turning it into a track monster capable of mid 10 second quarters—when it manages to launch in a straight line. According to the trucks front fender, the Australian genius who created this Bronco added a stroked 427 V8 and what must be a whole lot of nitrous to power the SUV into the 10s.
Hat tip to suju89!

Sometimes the learning curve gets steep and I look through the forums for strategies I have missed.
Learning how to stack items/glyphs/level catapulting/race & class benefits/gods/regeneration/unlocks is where its at. If you feel like you struggle with an area read strategy guides, the wiki and search the forum.
I avoided the crap out of tikki tokki and Im not keen on GG.
I'd say the best thing to learn is level catapulting. Can you take down a weak lvl 2 at level 1 if you buy a sword and worship a god and use a glyph? The annotated playthroughs help loads as each one shows different strategy and it will round your strategies out - props to sidestepper.

I'm trying to figure out how to bind snippets in Sublime Text 2 to a key combo. Not having any luck looking at the default key bindings file. I have the following snippet:
<scope>source.php, text.html</scope>
<description>HTML "p" Tag</description>
This is what i am trying to use to bind it:
{ "keys": "alt+shift+p"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": {"file": "Packages/User/ptag.sublime-snippet"}}
Looks like you've got it, just need to use "name" rather than "file" for the insert_snippet command.
awesome. thanks.
With a scope (or set of scopes) listed in the snipped (XML), what happens to scopes applied also to the keybinding? Are they intersected or unioned? (Or maybe something else happens?)
Also, anyone have pointers about putting snippet content directly into a keybinding, vs in a snippet referenced by path? I'm interested in whether putting snippet content into a keybinding is a good or bad idea and how to do it.
In a selector, scope names separated by a comma are ORed together.
If you're making a key binding, feel free to either reference a snippet file by name (the "name" parameter), or include one inline (the "contents" parameter), it's just a question of convenience. I tend to put short snippets inline, and long ones in files.
I need some help guys.I've made a inline snippet with keybinding:
{ "keys": "p", "tab"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": { "contents": "
${0:${TM_SELECTED_TEXT}}
"}}
and im trying to set scope inline but with no luck so far, can any1 help please?
{ "keys": "p", "tab"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": {"scope": "text.html", "contents": "
${0:${TM_SELECTED_TEXT}}
"}}
do not work, still get
The last form, with the context, is the one that you need to use.
If you press Ctrl+Alt+P (Windows/Linux), you'll see the current scope printed to the status bar. Note that the text inside the script tag has 'text.html' as part of its scope, but it also has 'source.js'. To make a selector that triggers in html, but not within embedded javascript, try using "text.html - source.js" for the selector
Thanx for explanation, now it works like a charm.
PSThats incredible how much patience you have to code such a awesome app and explain all these noob questions same time I appreciate it, thanks again.

Susan Martin: EMU student found dead after suitemate reported not seeing her for days
- Previous coverage: EMU officials to hold campus safety forum following death of student
- Previous coverage: Eastern Michigan University community mourns student found dead in apartment
Eastern Michigan University student Julia Catherine Niswender was found dead in her apartment off campus Tuesday after a suitemate reported not having seen her for several days, EMU President Susan Martin said in an email to the campus community Wednesday afternoon.
Niswender, who Martin said was a junior majoring in communication, media and theater arts, was found dead at the Peninsular Place apartments in the 1000 block of Huron River Drive in Ypsilanti about 9:30 Tuesday night. Ypsilanti police said they are treating the investigation as an apparent homicide.
EMU spokesman Walter Kraft said the apartments where Niswender lived had individual bedrooms with doors separating them from the living area. Ypsilanti Police Sgt. Thomas Eberts confirmed police were called to Niswender's apartment after the suitemate reported not having seen her. Niswender was found in her bedroom, he said.
Martin's email was sent as the campus prepared for a safety forum at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the aftermath of Niswender's death. Martin also said a website had been set up to keep the EMU community informed about the death and that counseling is available to those who want it.
Read the text of Martin's email below:
It is with great sadness that I write to you this afternoon about the tragic death of one of our students. As we reported earlier, the student has been identified as 23-year old Julia Catherine Niswender. She was a junior in Communication, Media and Theatre Arts. She was found last night in her off-campus apartment, located in the 1000 block of Huron River Drive. Ypsilanti Police are investigating her death as an apparent homicide. The cause of death has not been determined and Ypsilanti Police have no information at this time on a possible suspect.
Our understanding is that police were called to Julia's apartment after a suitemate reported not having seen her for several days. The Ypsilanti Police Department is continuing to investigate the case. The EMU Police Department is working closely with Ypsilanti Police and we will report additional information as we obtain it, and as events may warrant.
Ypsilanti Police asks that anyone who might have information concerning this to contact Det/Sgt T.C. Eberts @ 734-482-9878 or Crimestopper's @ 1-800- SPEAKUP (773-2587).
Counseling is available for students and others in the EMU family who may want those services. You can contact Counseling and Psychological Services at 734-487-1118. The offices are located at 313 Snow Health Center. Counselors recommend that those interested call ahead before stopping in.
A dedicated website has been established to provide the latest updates on the student death and campus safety and security information, as well as information about counseling. In addition, we will have a campus safety forum today at 4 p.m. in the Student Center Auditorium, in which Chief Heighes and I will offer an update and safety recommendations.
Our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with Julia's family and friends at this time.
Susan Martin

This is really exciting news. On Friday, NASA announced that its Swift satellite had found evidence of a new black hole inside the Milky Way galaxy. The evidence? A newly formed X-Ray nova, what NASA's, Neil Gehrels calls a "once-a-mission event," near the center of our galaxy.
Check out the video above for NASA's explanation of the phenomenon. NASA's press release explains:
An X-ray nova is a short-lived X-ray source that appears suddenly, reaches its emission peak in a few days and then fades out over a period of months. The outburst arises when a torrent of stored gas suddenly rushes toward one of the most compact objects known, either a neutron star or a black hole.
The rapidly brightening source triggered Swift's Burst Alert Telescope twice on the morning of Sept. 16, and once again the next day.
Named Swift J1745-26 after the coordinates of its sky position, the nova is located a few degrees from the center of our galaxy toward the constellation Sagittarius. While astronomers do not know its precise distance, they think the object resides about 20,000 to 30,000 light-years away in the galaxy's inner region.

Fundamentals of Dialysis
Dialysis is a simple process in which small solutes diffuse from a high concentration solution to a low concentration
solution across a semipermeable membrane until equilibrium is reached. Since the porous membrane selectively
allows smaller solutes to pass while retaining larger species, dialysis can effectively be used as a separation
process based on size rejection. The conditions of dialysis can be controlled or manipulated to produce desired
results for a variety of dialysis applications. The application depicts which Molecular Weight Cut Off (MWCO)
yields the preferred molecular separation.

Cathy Rigby brings 'Peter Pan' to Waterbury
With more than 3,000 performances behind her, Cathy Rigby's ongoing stint in the title role of "Peter Pan" is one for the record books.
A Tony nominee when the show played on Broadway 23 years ago, Rigby has returned to the part again and again for hugely successful road tours like the ones Carol Channing and Yul Brynner did in "Hello, Dolly!" and "The King and I," respectively.
The high-flying boy who won't grow up has become a signature role for the former Olympic gymnast.
In a recent phone interview, Rigby said that despite playing the part so many times, she has learned new things with each tour.
"Even in the last six months, I've realized that we just need to tell the story as simply as possible. The minute you overthink the show, it becomes less magical," she said.
"After 3,000 times playing it, you learn not to rush it and not to push the jokes. They will get it," she said of the audiences of all ages who see "Peter Pan."
"James Barrie really knew what he was doing," she added of the author of the original story. "He knew how to make it fun for children and adults."
Although the Barrie classic is about an ageless boy, Rigby joined a long line of women who have excelled in the part, from Mary Martin to Jean Arthur and all the way back to Maude Adams in the earliest stage dramatization.
The performer said she long ago got used to being asked, "Why keeping doing this?"
"Why not? It never gets old and every night I find that I just love doing it. I'll go into the lobby after a show and see the kids and their parents. They tell me how much the show means to them and I think, `This is why I do this,' " she said.
"Last night, I met a 6-year-old boy who was completely dressed in a (Peter Pan) costume. He was so funny and so enchanted by the show."
The current tour runs through April, and Rigby said that "it will be time to put it away after that."
Rigby has learned not to call any tour in "Peter Pan" a "farewell tour" because she never dreamed she would still be up to the rigors of the role at age 60.
Before the current tour started, she went into intensive training with an ex-Marine.
"I didn't want to get hurt and I knew I would need an awful lot of energy to do it again," she said.
Rigby has come to believe in the idea of "muscle memory" that dancers talk about when they return to a show they did years earlier -- what the brain might not remember, the body does.
"If I had never done the show before, it probably wouldn't be possible for me to take it on now," the performer said of getting back into the swing of a job she has done thousands of times.
"Of course, I take care of myself, too. I don't go out and disco the night away after a show," Rigby added, laughing.
Wearing her producer hat, the performer has been determined to maintain the high quality of the show over the years. For Peter Pan's nemesis, Captain Hook, the production has hired some of the top musical comedy men on Broadway, including Howard McGillin and Tom Hewitt.
For the current tour, Rigby is playing opposite Brent Barrett, whose resume includes long stints in such shows as "Grand Hotel," as well as engagements at the best cabarets in Manhattan. (He just completed a stint at 54 Below.)
"I did `Annie Get Your Gun' with him 20 years ago," Rigby said of Barrett. "And it's been such a joy to have an old friend do the show with me. (The Captain Hooks) have been amazing and every one of them has brought something different to the role."
When pressed to admit that her continuing passion for "Peter Pan" might mean she has a few more tours in her, Rigby laughed.
"We'll see," she said.

As we are a new chapter in the HoneyNet Project, there have been no changes to the organizational structure. Barry and I are working on expanding the network within South Africa in an attempt to gain more sensor nodes and hopefully track attacks over a larger area within the country.
Chapter Members:
Matt Erasmus
Matt Erasmus is in charge of the South African chapter pages on both http://honeynet.org and http://honeynet.org.za
Barry Irwin
Barry Irwin provides hosting, advice and a lot of IP space within South Africa.
The following have been deployed within South African IP space
The primary kippo honeypot has seen a little interest from over seas attackers although very little attacks seem to be originating from within South Africa. This could be due to the IP space the honey pot is sitting in, although this is mostly speculation. The honeypot has had the following pieces of malware dropped and used:
Matt plans on writing a detailed report on each as soon as time permits.
On the Dionaea honeypot there has been little change in attacks. Conficker attacks (ms08-067) still feature very highly. However on the 14th of April there was a rather large attack against MSSQL from 18.104.22.168. I have yet to decyper the content and context of the attack but there were 7868 different attacks against the MSSQL service.
Matt is hoping to write some code to parse Kippo log files. The premise behind the tool will be parse the log files for attacking IP addresses, successful and failed logins and any malware that may have been dropped.
Matt also wrote a very simple python script to parse GlastopfNG logs from sqlite databases. The script allows for searching of URLs and IP addresses within the database.
There seems to be very little SSH activity coming to the honeypots within South Africa. While there are many brute force attempts that prove successful, there are very few "returns" or actual login activity. At most the attackers will login, run "w" or "uptime" and then log off. I'd like to experiment a little more with Kippo and see if there is something that could be tipping off attackers to the presence of a honeypot.
The Dionaea pot has seen a few attacks other than the usual MSSQL/SMB/08-067 attacks. Of the 125 submissions, there have been 24 unique samples from 46 unique source IP addresses.
The main featuring malware seems to be "bb6.jpg" (ebbfa21230fdda9eccf16ae4295534d3) which originates from 22.214.171.124.
Information gathering on attacker IP addresses etc. is done using Maltego CE. We are currently working on getting a licensed copy of Maltego from Paterva who have graciously offered to assist us. Until such time as we have a licensed copy, we will be unable to publish any of this information as the CE edition doesn't allow for exporting of graphs.
Malware analysis done by Matt Erasmus is a combination of static and dynamic analysis. This is done using various tools and processes on a Windows XP virtual machine running in Vmware Fusion.
Some of the tools used during static analysis include:
El Jefe has been reviewed but didn't produce output that was useful for reporting purposes.
Most analysis and tracking is working well. Time is the biggest issue that hampers research and investigation. The areas where improvement is needed is probably around attack tracking and correlation.
Matt is working on a presentation for ZaCon http://zacon.org.za, which will happen in October. There will also be presentations made at ISSA and BSidesCapeTown when the conferences happen. More information on these presentations will be announced as and when they are ready for public consumption.
The main area of improvement would be to widen the area of tracking within South Africa. We have spoken to interested parties and will continue to attempt to grow the network and awareness of the HoneyNet Project within South Africa.
While we are a new chapter, there is a lot to do and a lot of support to build. It's going to be a very good year for the South African Chapter.

CLEVELAND – The Case Western Reserve University football team lost the inside track to a fifth University Athletic Association Championship in six years with a 10-7 setback versus Washington University-St. Louis on Seniors' Day at Case Field.
The Spartans (5-4 overall, 1-1 UAA) will need a win and a Bears (4-5, 2-0 UAA) loss next Saturday to earn a share of the league title.
In a game that saw little offense generated from either side, Washington-St. Louis held the Spartans to a season-low 184 total yards of offense and scored all 10 of its points in a span of 2:08 in the third quarter.
The Spartans got on the board first late in the opening period when senior quarterback Erik Olson (Bethel Park, Pa./Bethel Park) connected with senior wide receiver Vinny Bell (Parma Heights, Ohio/Valley Forge) for a 12-yard touchdown pass. Bell's first career score ended a six-play, 44-yard drive, and freshman Won Kun Park (Daejon, South Korea/Kimball Union Academy, N.H.) hit the extra point to make the score 7-0 with 1:42 remaining in the first quarter.
After each side saw several drives fizzle out, the Bears threatened to cut into the lead with 4:55 left in the first half. However, the Spartan defense held in its own territory and forced a 41-yard field goal that missed wide to the right.
The game went to halftime with the hosts ahead by a 7-0 score.
On their opening drive of the second half, the Bears drove deep into Spartan territory with a nine-play, 40-yard drive that ended in a 25-yard field goal by Alex Hallwachs at the 7:31 mark of the third quarter.
After forcing Case to a three-and-out, the Bear offense hit the biggest play of the game when quarterback Eric Daginella connected with wide out Tim Bartholomew for a 64-yard pass that put the visitors at the Spartan one yard line. One play later, Daginella rushed into the endzone to cap the four-play, 65-yard drive. Hallwach hit the point after, and the Bears led 10-7 with 5:23 remaining in the third.
Several possession changes then occurred before a botched snap on a Spartan punt set the Bears up with a first down at the home five with 10:41 left to play. However, the Spartan defense came up clutch once again and held Washington-St. Louis to a 23-yard field goal try that was blocked by senior linebacker Kevin Nossem (Munster, Ind./Munster) at the 6:02 mark.
Unfortunately, the Spartan offense couldn't drive out of its own end of the field on its following two possessions, and the Bears held on for the three-point win.
Statistically, sophomore running back Manny Sicre (Miami, Fla./Belen Jesuit Preparatory) rushed for a game-high 68 yards on 23 carries and added 38 yards receiving on four catches. On defense, senior linebackers Ryan Ferguson (Wheaton, Ill./St. Francis) and Wade Self (Hawthorn Woods, Ill./Lake Zurich) tied for game-high honors with 12 tackles apiece.
Washington-St. Louis was led by Daginella's 196 yards passing—98 of which went to Bartholomew. Defensive tackle William Small totaled six tackles, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble.
The Spartans wrap up the season on Saturday, November 10 versus rival Carnegie Mellon University (Pa.) in the 26th Annual Academic Bowl at 2:00 p.m. at Case Field. The game has also been designated as the Billy Deitmen Memorial Game with all proceeds going to benefit an endowment in celebration of former Spartan captain Billy Deitmen '11, who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 23 on October 18. All former Spartan teammates of Deitmen are invited to participate in a pregame ceremony/presentation.

Center for Vaccines and Immunity
The Center for Vaccines and Immunity has a single purpose, to improve the health of children through fundamental and applied research leading to a new generation of safe, protective vaccines against infection, cancer and allergy. Vaccine science has produced tremendous successes in the last half-century. A global vaccination campaign to eliminate the feared smallpox virus succeeded in 1977 when the last human infection occurred. Polio that caused muscle wasting, paralysis, and death in children 50 years ago is now on the verge of eradication by vaccination. Universal childhood vaccines effectively control many infectious diseases including measles, mumps, and the hepatitis A and B viruses that were serious public health problems only one or two generations ago. Nevertheless, difficult challenges remain.
The Research Institute is ranked among the top 10 for NIH funding among free-standing children's hospitals.
Meet Our Team
Learn more about director Christopher Walker, PhD, and his team of principal investigators at the Center for Vaccines and Immunity.
Current Research
Scientists in the Center for Vaccines and Immunity (CVI) are studying RSV, the respiratory syncytial virus that infects most children at least once by the time they are 2 years old. RSV infection is the leading cause of hospitalization for children less than 1 year of age. The goal of our research is to fill the serious unmet need for a vaccine to prevent RSV infection, as well as to develop effective antiviral agents against RSV.
Hepatitis C Vaccine and HIV
CVI researchers also seek to develop vaccines for very serious persistent viral diseases that are sometimes passed from infected mothers to children during pregnancy and birth. Some infants borne to mothers with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) develop life-long infections that place them at high risk for progressive liver disease and cancer. To facilitate vaccine development, CVI scientists are studying why immune responses that permanently control HCV replication in some humans often fail in others, leading to persistent infections. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the cause of AIDS, can also be passed from mother to child. A candidate HIV vaccine developed at CVI is now in the earliest phase of testing in adults.
There are many herpesviruses that can compromise the health of humans from infancy to adulthood. One example is the Epstein-Barr virus that causes infectious mononucleosis common during adolescence. Center scientists are studying how herpesviruses subvert the immune system to establish latent infections that can reactivate later in life to cause disease.
Vaccine Science
Finding vaccine technologies to replace the traditional approaches of using killed and attenuated viruses or microbes is a research priority. Center scientists are investigating the use of genetically altered vectors like the adeno-associated virus to vaccinate against viruses like HIV and HCV. An equally important priority is to understand molecular signaling within the immune system that can be exploited to boost or adjuvant enhance protective responses induced by vaccination.

Well, gathering means we have to have nice food and desserts. So I've prepared 2 snacks to go with our wine and a dessert for the kids to enjoy. Oh and not to miss the "Assam Laksa" by my friend, its really a good one but....opps! Forgot to take the picture..;p Beside the laksa, she prepared a nice yummy "Penang Popiah" for us...(you can see the picture below).
Alright, what I've prepared.....1st, "Rosted Pork" . Recipe here.
Then a new dish (my first attempt)..."Assorted Taufu Peanuts Snacks".
For the Taufu Peanut snacks, ingredients and method is really easy and its a best appetizer ever. See the ingredients below....
1) 2 fried taufu (cut into cubes)
2) 4 green chilies (cut into cubes)
3) 1 onion (shredded)
4) 50g peanuts (deep fried)
5) 50g anchovy (deep fried)
6) 1 tbsp Chili bean sauce (辣豆瓣酱)
7) 1-2 tbsps sugar to taste
8) 1 tbsp cooking oil
Pan fry onion and green chilies until fragnant, then add in all other ingredients and pan fry at medium heat until well mix and cook. Dish up, you'll have a good nice dish.
Both were so good, and all my friends love them so much. These were really a good dish or appetizer for any party.
Then not to forget about my specialty...haha! The cutie swiss roll again. This time instead of strawberry, I just filled it with some fresh cream + shredded chocolate. Well, don't kids just love chocolate? Yup, these rolls were gone too in a minute!!
Method was exactly the same as the other rolls I've done before but I just decorate it in another way buy cutting, place flat on a cake sheet and deco with some chocolate chips.
(Refer for the details here)
Lastly but not least, the yummilicious Penang Popiah prepared by the host. So delicious, and everyone can't resist to have few rolls!! Eh...I don't have the recipe yet, but I'll be going to learn it from her soon...:)

Day 2 of my official bike tour started early, as our guide, David from Europeds, wanted us to get on the road to beat the heat and the traffic. Our goal today was Gavarnie, a UNESCO World Heritage site since it is so spectacularly beautiful. Our ride plan for today was about 25 miles of steadily climbing road to reach the town of Gavarnie, and then 25 miles of descending on the same road to get back home.
Once on the road, there was no doubt that you were in the French countryside. Picturesque fields, country cottages, and the odd manor or 2 dotted our route:
But then the road started to pitch up just that much more, since the lower part of the road to Gavarnie was also the lower part of the Col du Tourmalet! On our way up, we passed about a mile of Nike Chalkbot emblazoned road, and actually saw the crew setting up the actual Chalkbot to write even more in preparation for Tour Stage 16 (sorry, I couldn't get a picture since cars were whizzing by, but it kind of looks like a paving machine). My tires had a definite yellow tinge after rolling up this section of the climb:
A little further up the road, in Luz St. Saveur, the road to Gavarnie diverged from the road to the Tourmalet, but we made a quick stop to re-gather our spread out group. As you can see in this photo, the road was jam-packed with cars and cyclists all day; when the Tour is in town it seems like the whole world descends on these sleepy little towns, but everyone seems to coexist peaceably (for the most part).
But onward and upward we climbed, until we finally started to see our destination (back where the snow-covered peaks are in this photo). I tried not to stop for photo ops every mile or so, since I wanted to keep my momentum going, but I couldn't pass up this shot of a classic Citroen parked in front of this awesome vista:
Finally we arrived at Gavarnie, tired but not totally wiped out (which was the plan for the day after all, as we have more mountains to climb later in the week). Gavarnie is a spectacular little mountain town set in an equally spectacular setting. Here is the gateway to the town itself, where we chilled for a while, drinking from the icy cold spring water fountain, and listened to the tales of a 77 year old French man who had also ridden up that day and really enjoyed talking to our group.
And what ride in France would be complete without a stop at a little cafe, and today we found one with an unbelievable view. What you see in the background is the real tourist draw in Gavarnie, the Cirque du Gavarnie. The Cirque is a massive u-shaped array of peaks (some still snow-covered), that are covered with icy cold waterfalls, including the massive waterfall in the center of this picture:
Here's a little closer view of the Cirque (well, and me and my Fuji, of course), which shows the remarkably blue river that flows from the waterfalls:
To get this closer view, we had to ride cyclocross-style on a gravel road (plus avoid donkey droppings). This place was packed with families making a day of it on the many hiking trails and picnic spots–if you ever find yourself down in this area of France, I can't recommend enough stopping by Gavarnie.
Then it was time to head back to the hotel, down the same roads that we had ridden up. But a few of us decided to take a litle diversion to the top of the peaks, up 12km of paved and gravel swithbacks at about 10% average grade. I bailed out after about 6km (saving my legs for later in the week), but apparently the view into Spain from the top was amazing, at least according to the couple in our group riding the 40 pound tandem (and yes, I do feel like a big wimp now). Oh well, I did get this picture from where we stopped, looking back down into the valley:
After the long and winding descent (sadly into a headwind, which made it a lot less fun), I got cleaned up and headed into town to watch the finale of Stage 15. Needless to say, the town was overrun with cyclists, as were the bars. I squeezed into a local watering hole to watch a tiny TV, but it was still great fun to watch with a big crowd. The funniest part, for me, was watching the reaction of the people at the end of the stage. No, I'm not talking about people getting riled up about whether or not Contador should have attacked Andy Schleck when his chain jammed–nope, I'm talking about the fact that the french guys standing in front of me waited for French champion Thomas Voeckler to win the stage, and then unceremoniously left right afterwards, not caring one lick what happened to the yellow jersey!
Now the amazing part about staying in Argeles-Gazost is that Tour is going to roll right through town on the next 2 stages! Below you can see the route arrows already up in the town square–watch out for this nasty little zigzag when the Tour comes rocketing through on Tuesday!
Oh, but I'm won't be watching the Tour in town tomorrow! Nope, it's up early for our crew, and off to the Col d'Aubisque, which literally starts right from the edge of Argeles-Gazost (I told you this town was right in the thick of things):
I'll be up on the side of the road, camped out with my group, and all the other lunatics that make watching the Tour so much fun. I'll be wearing this jersey, if you can pick me out from the throngs. So wish me luck, and keep an eye out for me during the race coverage. But don't worry, I'll take lots of pictures and video and document the whole experience, from the caravan, to the attacking leaders, to the last straggler making his way up the mountain. It's going to be a long day, but totally exciting. See you at the Tour!

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Microsoft revealed the first major details for the first line of Windows 7-compatible phones, including games and Xbox Live compatibility.
At the company's Mobile World Congress press conference, Microsoft unveiled the many features Windows 7 will be bringing to mobile phones in the coming months. Along with music, video, and Microsoft Office features, a new mobile gaming service was revealed that allows connectivity with Xbox Live.
Joe Belifore, Microsoft's vice president of its Windows Phone division, detailed the main features of the games hub. While gamers can access their Xbox Live Avatar and read up on the latest Xbox news on their Windows 7 phones, the company touted the gaming connectivity above all, as the phones will allow players to sync with their Xbox Live accounts, earn Achievements, and play turn-based games with other players. "We think of games, fundamentally, as a social experience," Belifore said.
While the company has a long way to go before challenging the mobile phone gaming experience that is the iPhone, the social gaming and Xbox Live connectivity of Windows 7 phones offer a much different portable experience. While no games were revealed during the press conference, the game tiles shown during the speech in the image above seem to indicate that the cross-platform games will mostly consist of puzzle, card, and board games. Microsoft couldn't reveal any specific games will be available for the service when it launches, but a spokesperson did state that "our catalogue for launch will include a range of games for both hardcore and casual gamers."

Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a disease brought on by a type of bacteria carried by ticks.
Alternative Names
Spotted fever
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii (R. Rickettsii), which is carried by ticks. The bacteria spread to humans through a
In the western United States, the bacteria are carried by the wood tick, and in the eastern U.S. they are carried by the dog tick. Other ticks spread the infection in the southern U.S. and in Central and South America.
Contrary to the name "Rocky Mountain," most recent cases have been reported in the eastern United States, including North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. Most cases occur in the spring and summer. About 2,300 cases were reported in 2006. Most of the reported cases have been in children.
Risk factors include recent hiking or exposure to ticks in an area where the disease is known to occur. The bacteria are unlikely to be transmitted to a person by a tick that has been attached for less than 20 hours. Only about 1 in 1,000 wood and dog ticks carry the bacteria. Bacteria can also infect people who crush ticks they have removed from pets with their bare fingers.
Symptoms usually develop about 2 to 14 days after the tick bite. They may include:
- Headache
- Muscle pain
- Rash — usually starts a few days after the fever; first appears on wrists and ankles as spots that are 1 – 5 mm in diameter, then spreads to most of the body. About one-third of infected people do not get a rash.
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
Light sensitivity
- Hallucinations
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea
- Vomiting
Signs and tests
Tests that may be done include:
Antibody titerby complementfixation or immunofluorescence
Complete blood count(CBC)
Kidney function tests Partial thromboplastin time (PTT)
Prothrombin time (PT)
- Skin biopsy taken from the rash to check for R. rickettsii
Urinalysis to check for
bloodor protein in the urine
Treatment involves careful removal of the tick from the skin and antibiotics to get rid of the infection. Doxycycline or tetracycline are the drugs of choice for both confirmed and suspected cases. Pregnant women may take chloramphenicol.
Note: There is concern that tetracycline and doxycycline may stain the teeth of children whose permanent teeth have not yet formed. However, tooth discoloration is very unusual when a child takes these medicines for 14 days or less. These medicines are first-line treatment, even for children.
Expectations (prognosis)
Treatment usually cures the infection. Complications are rare, but can include paralysis, hearing loss, and nerve damage. About 3% of people who get this disease will die.
- Brain damage
- Clotting problems
- Heart failure
- Kidney failure
- Lung failure
- Pneumonitis (lung inflammation)
- Shock
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms after exposure to ticks or a tick bite. The complications of untreated Rocky Mountain spotted fever are often life threatening.
When walking or hiking in tick-infested areas, tuck long pants into socks to protect the legs, and wear shoes and long-sleeved shirts. Ticks will show up on white or light colors better than on dark colors, making them easier to see and remove from clothing.
Remove ticks immediately by using a tweezers, pulling carefully and steadily. Insect repellent may be helpful. Because far fewer than 1% of ticks carry this infection, antibiotics are not usually given after a tick bite.

I am writing this column on Wednesday, May 2. Due to deadlines, it has to be submitted by today, so it comes out looking its best for you on Saturday. My editor -- Jan Murphy of The Kingston Whig-Standard -- does a great job checking facts so you, the reader of the newspaper and website, have the most information that you can get. Because of the mid-week deadline, more information on this week's subject may have been released between me writing it and you reading it. Keep that in mind as you read.
I had another column ready to go, but when I heard the news of National Football League great Junior Seau taking his own life, I had to change topics. I do not know any facts surrounding his death, I just really need to address some of my own opinions on this topic. I am not a therapist. I just write from my heart. I have experienced it first-hand.
When I was 15, I had a girl break up with me, leaving me utterly devastated. I felt so alone. I swore she was the love of my life. I remember feeling, at the time, that nobody would understand. I would look at her picture and wonder why a fellow 15-year-old wouldn't want to spend the rest of her life with me.
I remember coming home from school and being so sad that I actually wanted to end my own life. I first got a knife and thought to myself "I will slit my wrist." Then I talked myself out of it, being too grossed out by even the thought of it.
Maybe I could take pills, I thought. We really only had aspirin in my house and I couldn't even swallow big pills (I still can't).
I had another idea: I could jump out of my second-storey window. I opened it and looked down and said to myself "what if I am crippled or I don't do it right?"
This entire process took about 10 minutes, but for me, it seemed like an eternity. I remember thinking how hurt my mom would be if I did it. In hindsight, there's not way I would have ever gone through with it, but I certainly thought of it as a way to show a girl who had dumped me how much I cared for her.
Realistically though, who loses in that scenario? My point is that no matter how sad I felt, and even though I was young, it didn't mean I wasn't hurting. I can look back now and thank God I didn't go through with it. The best part of life is that it is always changing.
Yes, at times it gets rough, but if you can get through it one day at a time, and appreciate our short time on Earth, life is worth living. Yes, it's ever-changing. I honestly can't tell you how many women I have been with since my first girlfriend, as I have lived life like a rock star. I'm not trying to be braggadocios, rather I'm just trying to show how ridiculous the thought of suicide over a girl was for me.
The second and most shocking suicide I experienced was Chris Benoit. I will never understand why he did it, but I sure wish he would have reached out to the many people who loved him. Sadly, he took three lives -- that of his wife, Nancy (who was a friend of mine for many years), and their child, Daniel. I get asked a lot about Chris on Twitter. Sadly, his actions that day will forever overshadow his great wrestling career.
Hearing many of Junior Seau's former teammates tell stories of him reminded me so much of the day the Benoit tragedy occurred. "Shocked" was the word being repeated over and over. "He was such a happy guy." "He would do anything for others," I keep hearing them say. It was the same thing we all said when Chris died. Thankfully nobody else was hurt in the Seau case, unlike the Benoit case.
I met Seau twice, and while I can't say I know him, I can relate to his life.
I don't know why Junior Seau ended his life. I do know, however, that he gave his entire life to one thing, football. When it is over -- and this I know from experience -- it's hard to explain how much you miss it. I was a teenager when I started wrestling. There aren't any independent football leagues at which retired pros can go and have fun, as I do every week. There are very limited coaching and commentating jobs in the sport. It is hard restarting your life in your 40s; trust me, I know. I have been trying to find the next phase in my life.
Some people are going to say concussions caused him to do this. I disagree. An internal sadness and despair did this.
The only thing I want anyone who reads this column to get out of it is this: if you have a serious suicide thought, reach out to someone. If you feel you have no one, then call a suicide prevention hotline. And remember, life will change.
If anyone who has ever taken their lives could foresee exactly how devastated their families would be, they wouldn't go through with it.
I watched Junior Seau's mother and family at a news conference following his death and I was tearing up. I think if Junior Seau saw it, he would never have done what he did.
Please remember that in your darkest moment, someone does care. Don't let this happen again to anyone.
Thanks for reading.

Timeless design and first-class handiwork characterize the quality of the Swiss watchmaker's art: this is proven by the new timepieces in pink gold or steel in the Les Classiques Tradition collection, a subcollection of the Classiques models that have already been established for many years. Their sober, compelling appearance manifests respect for the centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship. Their restrained elegance, highlighted in particular by the slim case and simple beauty of the dial, emphasizes the quality that these models display on their wearers' wrists. This model is available in a steel case with a choice of two different dials, in a 38 mm men's version and a somewhat smaller one, of 28 mm, for ladies. The model with the (18 Kt) gold case also comes with two dial variants and a men's or ladies' version for each one.
The delicate hours, minutes and seconds hands in this classically elegant setting, plated with rhodium or pink gold, concentrate on the essential: the time. The only additional feature is the understated date display at 6 o'clock. Then there is the automatic caliber ML 155, with its precision and its slim case, tokens of reliability and classical and modern styling in equal measure, which can be examined in detail, thanks to its domed sapphire crystal case back. The decoration, in the highest traditions of craftsmanship – the weight with Côtes de Genève, the bridges with circular-graining and the gold- or rhodium-plated rotor – are a delight to the eye. Les Classiques Tradition, with these new models, is a collection that symbolizes the refined harmony of Swiss quality and style.

Freddie Gray knows being second-guessed and scrutinized comes with the job of Omaha Public School Board President. But when she came under fire over her handling of the Nancy Sebring scandal she got more than she bargained for, including allegations she'd violated the public trust and calls for her resignation or ouster.
Sebring is the former Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent OPS hired in the spring only to resign after sexually charged emails she exchanged with her lover became public.
The controversy about what Gray did and didn't do in response to the scandal culminated at an August 6 school board meeting where a special vote retained her 8 to 4.
A veteran but low profile public servant, Gray never found herself on the hot seat quite like this. Often overshadowed by her husband, Omaha City Councilman and former television journalist Ben Gray, she endured a public referendum on her character for trying to cover a very delicate personnel matter with only a hint of the facts, not to mention a seven month record as board president even her detractors don't fault.
Gray was appointed to the board in February 2008 to replace Karen Shepard and ran unopposed that fall to retain the seat. She serves on local, state and national education initiative boards. Her school board peers named her president at the start of 2012. Amidst the recent storm that led to Gray facing removal, she refused to say she erred and balked at apologizing.
"Whatever the pleasure of the board was going to be that night it was something I needed to live with," she says, "but I was not going to compromise my integrity and myself and say I was wrong when that's not true.
"You can't buy me that way. I did the right thing, I know I did the right thing."
Gray asserts she and OPS board counsel Elizabeth Eynon-Korkda acted properly based on what they knew at the time about the nature of Sebring's emails. Gray says she and Eynon-Korkda treated the matter as a personnel issue because Sebring was already a district employee when the emails surfaced as an issue.
"The personnel issue was the context of what was done and why it was done the way it was done," says Gray, adding she "didn't want to poison the well" and risk biasing the board should Sebring come before a termination hearing.
While Sebring's emails show she informed the two of an upcoming story in the Des Moines Register, the substance focused on a story about a new charter school's shortcomings, with the suggestion that "personal" emails caught up in that open records search wouldn't be included. There was very little hinting at the salacious language, just a review of personal use of work emails. When the full extent of the sexually charged emails came to light, Sebring stepped aside.
Gray can live with the "differing views" critics voice but she describes as "troubling" and "disturbing" the anonymous, expletive-filled postal letters and phone messages she says she's received at home.
"There are people who took advantage of the situation. They didn't talk about what the issue was, it was just name calling, ugliness. I have grandchildren that were exposed to language totally inappropriate for them to hear.
"I just find those people to be real cowards. You know, if you've got something to say to me then man up or woman up and say it to me."
The negativity was counterbalanced by expressions of support, including her mate's presence at the July 30 and August 6 school board meetings.
"I have a fabulous husband. He was very supportive. My family of course, not just my children but my sisters, my nieces and nephews. The prayer chains people had going on. I had so many emails, phone messages, Facebook posts from people saying they had my back."
She says her "trust and belief in a Supreme Being was never shaken" though "there was that question of why me and why now."
Encouraging words too came, she says, from other school district leaders and from peers at the state and national levels. The morning that decided her school board presidency fate she spoke before an assembly of district principals who gave her a standing ovation upon her introduction.
"That blew my mind. I had no clue what to expect when I walked in that room. It was quite moving and a great way to start the day."
She says perhaps the most hurtful thing in this episode was that her "very long line of public service," including the Douglas County Board of Health, the African-American Achievement Council and years of mentoring, became obscured.
'"In a very long history of being actively engaged with the community my detractors tried to define me by one thing. It was heartbreaking that people would do that. It was like everything else I had done in my life was valueless."
She says she regrets the imbrogolio distracted from the "great progress the board's been making" and to the "gains" the district's made in graduation and truancy rates. Her overriding concern now, she says, is moving the district forward, something she expects to still be doing after this fall's district elections. She's running against fellow Democrat James M. English, a former OPS teacher and administrator .
Gray says no one can legitimately question her devotion to the district.
"My reason to be there is nothing more than pure academic success for all students . If you look at what I've done, the places I've been, the people I've met, the messages I've carried through the community, statewide and nationally you'll see I'm working very hard for the children of Nebraska and specifically for children in my district."
Gray oversaw the board's recent hiring of interim superintendent Virginia Moon and will oversee its search to find a permanent replacement for the retiring John Mackiel. Though she concedes repair needs to be made to a divided board, particularly among members who wanted her out, she says she foresees no problem getting the work of the district done.

text: Sentient Internet meme/completely sincere South African hip-hop dup Die Antwoord is prepared to release the follow-up to its 2010 debut, $O$, according to Spin. The record, entitled Tensions, is due this coming January, and by Spin's account, it looks to give fans of musical provocation and dollar signs substituted for the letter "s" a deeper, ever-inscrutable portrait of life in Die Antwoord's home country. Also, a track called "Baby's On Fire," which has no apparent connection to the Brian Eno track of the same name, beyond its use as a jumping-off point by aging record geeks attempting to connect with their younger counterparts. "Oh, so you'd probably like Here Come The Warm Jets," they'll say—though that name-drop will likely be drowned out by the sounds of African chants, "bumping Euro trance club" beats, and the juxtaposition of poetic dispatches from the South African streets and lyrics like "Unlimited supply of bitches / Playboy don't play with me."

A FEDERAL judge has handed the ag biotech sector a victory by dismissing a lawsuit filed in 1998 by several activist groups seeking labeling of foods containing genetically modified components and mandatory safety testing.
Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, in a Sept. 29 ruling in the U.S. District Court at Washington, said the Alliance for Bio-Integrity failed to prove its contention that the Food and Drug Administration violated environmental laws and procedures in its policy that genetically modified crops are considered the same as conventionally bred crops.
"We applaud the court's finding that genetically modified foods do not need to be singled out for different treatment than other food products," said Jay Vroom, president of the American Crop Protection Association, the Washington-based non-profit trade organization representing major manufacturers, formulators, and distributors of crop protection, pest control, and biotechnology products.
"We will continue to support the efforts of the FDA, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the USDA to maintain and strengthen consumer and farmer confidence in crop biotechnology"
Vroom said the judge's decision reaffirms the FDA's 1992 policy statement that genetically modified foods are generally recognized as safe and that the GMO components need not be regulated as food additives. The policy also said labeling of such foods would not be required, because the genetic engineering did not change the food in any material way.
The FDA position has been strongly supported by the Clinton administration.
Barring a decision by the FDA that biotech components are materially different from those from conventional crops, the agency "lacks a basis upon which it can legally mandate labeling - regardless of consumer demand," said the judgeis ruling.
The FDA said earlier this year it will propose mandatory safety reviews for new GMO products, even though it maintains its position that they pose no risks. Such reviews are currently voluntary. While it does not plan to require labeling of products containing GMO components, the FDA plans to develop guidelines that may be used by manufacturers wishing to provide labels.
The judge's decision comes on the heels of the tainted taco shells episode, which garnered widespread media attention and resulted in a nationwide recall of the products that were made with a corn flour that had been contaminated with a genetically modified variety approved only for animal feed, not human consumption.
While activist groups and some members of Congress stepped up calls for stiffer rules on biotech crops and food, consumer reaction was muted. Surveys continue to show the majority of the public feels government procedures are adequate to insure the safety of the food supply.
To further shore up consumer confidence, the FDA has announced it will conduct tests of cereals, snack foods, and other corn-based products to see if the unapproved variety is found.
The anti-biotech groups have indicated they will not appeal the Washington court ruling but will carefully evaluate the FDA's upcoming proposal for mandatory safety reviews for new GMO products.
The Biotechnology Industry Organiza-tion has announced plans for an advisory panel "to serve as a sounding board"on biotech issues. It will include farmers, exporters, consumer groups, food manufacturers, and other groups. The organization said its member companies will also make available to the public more scientific and policy information about biotechnology.

From Allan R. Lenhardt
I remember when my sister was married in the early 80's, my Grandfather and Mr. Sitzman (an old family friend), both born in Frank, Russia, started talking about, "Inviting the Wedding." Apparently, in the early 1900's, when a young couple was to be married, two of the bride's male relatives would go from house to house, carrying long staffs. When they entered a house, they would recite a special poem inviting the people to the wedding. After that, the woman of the household would tie one of her hair ribbons to the staff, offer the men something to eat and drink, and then the men would be off to the next house.
Does anyone know anything about this custom? Unfortunately all my relatives from this time are gone now, and none of my relatives remembers more than the details I've given here.
I would especially like to know the words to the poem, if anyone has them.
From John Marsch
This is a somewhat paraphrased excerpt from an article to be found in The Journal of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia, Spring 1978 Vol.1 No. 1, originally written by Jacob B. Janz.
From Gary Less
When my first cousin, Theresa (Less) Schoof, was married in January 1932, my Pa did something that I thought was neat and that I will always remember. This was a winter we had so much snow that all roads to town were blocked with drifted snow. Since we could not get to the wedding by automobile due to the closed roads, Pa borrowed a sled that was equipped with a large conventional wagon box. He put a lot of straw in the sled box, loaded the whole family of six kids plus Ma and Pa in the sled. We took off for the wedding pulled by two frisky horses. Since the roads were impassable, we went across farmers fields with the horses and sled. It was seven miles to the church in Ponca, Nebraska and another three miles from the church to Uncle Ed Less's farm house for the reception. During the reception, neighbors and friends shivareed the couple with a loud serenade made with kettles and horns. The shivaree continued until the couple either agreed to pay them off or provide for a dance later in town. The weather was cold and crisp but it sure was a fun occasion.
From Lilly Buchwitz
It began the day before the wedding, when everyone would gather at the home of the bride or groom's family (in my grandparents' case this was next door, so both homes were involved) where the women would prepare a large banquet-style supper for everyone. The next day, wedding day, the bride and groom walked to the church -- separately, with their entourages. After the ceremony, my grandmother describes walking through the village, giving out candy to children.
I asked her if she had bridesmaids, and she replied, yes, about twenty! Every unmarried woman at the wedding was considered a bridesmaid. So it was Oma and her "bridesmaids" who paraded through town, handing out candy. Then it was back to the farm for a reception dinner. The next day there was a breakfast party, and after that everyone returned home.
These people were poor, hardworking farmers, but they certainly knew how to have fun when the occasion warranted.

Forgot he was a wanted man
This is a real man's life, so let's not make light of it: he's a criminal, and a lawbreaker, and he's going to spend his last years in prison for two crimes -- murder, and the violation of his parole.
But it seems to me this is a parable as well -- something written by God's providence that we must see through the eyes of faith. When Frank Valentine didn;t want to be a criminal anymore, he simply said he wasn't that man anymore -- and did his work to prove he was a different man.
But history and the Law say differently: he is who he is, guilty of his crime, and worse for pretending it never happened.
This is a parable about us, dear reader. It is a parable about me. I dare say it is a parable about you.

Awesome story and the parable goes in many directions... except for the gospel. There is no substitute in the penitentiary.
- Rachael Starke said...
This story reminds me of the drama surrounding Roman Polanski with his "it was so long ago, and the girl said she wants to put the whole thing behind her blah blah blah".
In our so-called justice system, crimes are not just committed against a person; they're committed against society at large.
Interesting that we acknowledge this in civil life, but ignore it in our spiritual one...
- David said...
I've been gnawing on this all day, Frank, because it hit home.
Owning our sin is the only way of disowning our sin. There is a lot that I've put off in my life as "it's all under the blood" that has left people strewn behind me like the guy he shot three times. And God is not mocked, either.
Thanks for reading the news literately like you read the Bible.
- Strong Tower said...
Frank is a criminal?
For some of us the reason that we are not behind bars is the simple fact that we nevah got pinched, or we did and the evidence wouldn't support the charges, or for some other reason of providence, God thought it better that we remain outside and not in.
wordverification: adersin
now ain't that the snakes hiss?
Glad to hear you're one of us Frank.
There are many who haven't the sordid life to look back on and don't realize, clearly, the criminals that they are. They have yet to have that Isaiah six moment. They can be the hardest to convince of their depravity because they simply have not experienced the low life.
Then there are those who came from the lower levels of life who have forgoten that they "were one of them."
In both cases there are the Franks for whom compassion should be shown, prayers said, and the hope of the Gospel preached, but for whom only contempt is poured. When we get a glimpse of the Frank that we are, or see an old photo of the good ole days, or recall the days when, well, we should stop and say, "Except for the grace of God..."
I don't care to much for Moody's statement for the fact that we often think that way, that we are not still the person in the gutter. And that is why we more often than not pass them by rather than reach down and give them a hand up.
How many ignore their sin until they forget it altogether.
How often do I ignore my sin until I forget it altogether.
That God for the cross.
- Jackie Pickett said...
The Lord had to show me the depths of my sin nature. It wasn't a pretty sight. Thank the Lord he enabled me to even see it. It lead me to the cure....the gospel.
Thank you for sharing this parable. May the Lord open this man's eyes to his sin, that he may seek a cure.

Desert Hot Springs Sex Crime & Sexual Misconduct Defense Attorney
Sexual misconduct in the workplace can be a very serious matter. A professional environment is expected to maintain a certain level of decorum. Certain jokes and behaviors though appropriate amongst friends or in less formal settings can be considered inappropriate, or even offensive when exhibited in the workplace. Sexual remarks, off-color jokes, touching others in places or manners usually considered sexual, indecent exposure and other lewd acts, making romantic or sexual advances towards someone who is not interested, using sexuality as leverage against someone, or discriminating against people of a certain gender or sexual orientations can all be considered forms of sexual misconduct, and are widely considered both extremely problematic in the workplace and egregious violations of social mores and the rights of others.
What can you do if you are accused of sexual misconduct?
Due to the way society views incidents of sexual misconduct, even the accusation of these sorts of behaviors can have immediate adverse effects to a person's reputation. Being accused of sexual misconduct can cause people to treat that person differently and make life more difficult and stressful, both at work and elsewhere. The accused can face social stigma, shame, prejudice and antagonism on hearsay and rumor alone.
It is important to remember that an accusation is not the same as proof, and that being charged with a sex crime is not the same as being convicted. If you are in this situation, you need to remember that you also have rights. The most important step you can take in the defense of those rights is to contact a veteran defense attorney and discuss your case.

Agencies have complained about a lack of ambition and a tendency towards relying on cheap and lazy formats - wall-to-wall Gypsies, Come Dine With Me and Million Pound Drop - at the expense of the sort of more challenging programming that its remit demands. The recent cutting of the flagship investigative series Dispatches to just half an hour a week seemed to confirm fears that it was on the descent from television's high ground and was keen to front up against Channel 5 in the battle for the lowest common denominator.
Meanwhile, Allan took a scythe to the commercial department, filling it with an eclectic bunch of largely unknown or unproven, in TV sales at least, talent. The cost of this mass liquidation of old-timers is unknown, but it did raise questions of whether these pay-off cheques would have been better spent by the programming department on raising Channel 4's creative game.
This was thrown into even sharper relief when you realise the focus on "me-too" programmes had actually failed to deliver the same audiences that it was getting last year - success stories seemed hard to identify. In short, there didn't seem to be much worth celebrating as Channel 4 approaches its 30th birthday later this year.
And then the broadcaster does something that takes you completely by surprise and reminds you why it still occupies such a vital place in the cultural warp and weft of the country, why it is a unique and distinctive destination point for advertisers, and why you can forgive all the crap in between.
Channel 4's "meet the superhumans" ad that broke this week, which promotes its coverage of the London 2012 Paralympic Games and is its biggest marketing campaign to date, is breathtaking in many ways. Created in-house, it is striking, bold and brave given the morass of largely underwhelming and yawningly predictable advertising that many agencies have created for brands around the Olympics. And, more importantly, it exemplifies Channel 4's unique remit in providing distinctive and diverse television that led to its creation in the first place.
Whether or not Channel 4's coverage of the Paralympics, which is sponsored by Sainsbury's and BT, gets the audience that the channel would normally expect doesn't actually matter and I don't really care. What does matter is that it is showing the sort of television that other commercially funded channels would turn away from. And, for that, I can forgive all the Gordon Ramsay vehicles and Gypsy caravans in the world.

German Court: Google Image Search Not a Copyright Violation
Google's Image Search is not a copyright violation, according to a German court.
The German Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that images pulled from the Web and displayed on Google's Image Search results does not infringe on the owner's rights.
"Today's ruling makes it clear not just for Google, its users in Germany and all owners of Web sites containing images, but also for all providers of image search services operating in the country: showing thumbnail images within search results is legitimate and millions of users in Germany benefit from being able to discover virtual information at the click of a mouse," Arnd Haller, managing counsel for Google Germany, wrote in a blog post.
The case dates back several years: A German artist who had uploaded photos of her paintings to her Web site sued Google for copyright infringement when those photos showed up in Google Image Search.
Haller said Google is still waiting for the full decision, but "what we know today [is that] thousands of Web sites and companies in Germany will be able to benefit from Google Image Search in the future as well," Haller wrote.
In related news, Google on Thursday unveiled a redesigned version of Google Image Search for mobile for iPhone and Android devices. Google has made image thumbnails square to get more pictures on one page, enabled swiping to see the next page of results, and optimized for speed so images appear quickly.
To try, go to google.com and tap Images. It's available in 38 languages.

Browsing my Bookshelves
6 comments:
- Clint said...
I see a couple of mine in there: Sherman's Directing the Film and Creating Movie Magic. I actually bought the latter back in high school. I came to film through special effects more than anything, so that book and Tom Smith's book on ILM were my bibles back when. Those are the only two exact matches, but there's overlap in subject: books by and about Ford, Capra, myth, plus some I've picked up about acting, cinematography, and directing that I've found useful for understanding story from those other perspectives.
I think you're right that something like this is more a conversation-starter than anything else, but it is worthwhile if only because it highlights books others might be interested in. In my case, as many books as I have by and about the classic directors and writers, I wasn't familiar with the Conversations with Filmmakers Interviews series. I've now added Huston, Kazan, Hitchcock, Renoir, and a couple of others to my Amazon wish list. (And bookmarked several beyond that.)
So thanks for posting this, if only for that.
- Joon Kim said...
And that doesn't even include all the stuff you had in storage!
- Brian McD said...
Yeah, I have a rain forest worth of books in storage. Sorry about the ozone planet earth.
If nothing else, you've encouraged me to read more interviews by the masters. :)
- Kaki Flynn said...
Thanks Brian.
I love looking at people's book shelves; I asked for the photo just because it's a lot more interesting and insightful than just looking at a typed-out list of books.
It's also great to have a new list of books to learn from (or use as an excuse to procrastinate). Karen Armstrong is worth a deeper look; "above all compassion" is not for the faint of heart.
The biggest insight (shock, actually)from your blog, however, is the dyslexia.
It's not a surprise now that every leader I've studied (Walt Disney is on that list), with one exception, has dyslexia.
Your blog post, combined with a series of other events that happened within a week or so of it, make it very clear I'm dyslexic.
Is this common in the world of storytelling?
I was at the Creative Talent Network Expo in Burbank in November.
While attending the workshops, I would look to the people sitting to the left and right of me, and noticed many of the people there organizing and writing down information the same way I do.
- Brian McD said...
Hello Kaki.
I like looking at people's bookshelves too; I guess I just thought mine wouldn't be that enlightening. But people seem to like seeing the books, so thanks for the request.
Karen Armstrong is cool. She's really great. She has a couple of nice Ted Talks you can see.
Yeah, some pretty cool people have had dyslexia, but I still grapple with my embarrassment about it. I spent so much of my childhood feeling stupid that I still have to fight that feeling. So I have decided to own it and talk about it when I feel it is appropriate.
It helps to know that people like Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Alva Edison, Einstein, Steve Jobs, John Lennon, Mozart and Picasso where dyslexic. Kind of blows the lid off that whole stupid idea. But then you get a Keanu Reeves or a Tom Cruise in there and it throws off the curve.
I do think that many writers are dyslexics. I suspect that Rod Serling was because he was a poor speller. I know that James L. Brooks is. Hans Christian Andersen was dyslexic. So was Octavia Butler and Lewis Carroll. One of my favorite writer/directors Robert Benton, who made Kramer vs. Kramer is also dyslexic.
I think there are a lot of us dyslexic writers out there. The most outspoken was Stephen J. Cannell: http://www.cannell.com/dyslexia.php
I think it helps us see patterns that are harder for others to see, kind of like Temple Grandin and her autism.
I don't think I would have been able to write my books if I weren't dyslexic. I guess I might have written something, but I would not see the world the way that I do.

The food industry is a massively sized field with numerous segments and sub-segment markets. The complexity of the food industry is traditionally due to the age of the industry itself. Being based directly off agriculture, the foods industry now contains a number of parallel branches that may or may not cater to the same demographics.
