With the disappearance of dishonorable kills, many people are hoping for the return of innovative world PvP. As an example of "innovative world PvP," and how angry people get when it actually occurs, we present last month's Mal'Ganis Flightmaster Hostage Crisis.
Mal'Ganis is a fairly overcrowded PvP server, hosting both some of the world's best guilds (Ret, Elitist Jerks) and some of the world's best drama (the guildmaster who threatened to kill a guy who gquit after spending a month in the hospital.) One of the native Mal'Ganis guilds is Goon Squad, a giant Horde crew that was formed from readers of http://www.somethingawful.com. Goon Squad is known for pranks and odd ideas, the most well-known of which is their "I Summon People Off Cliffs" warlock PvP video.
On the night of November 4, Goon Squad snuck into Theramore and kited away the Alliance flightmaster. Soon after, they posted a ransom demand on the Mal'Ganis realm forums: If the Alliance bought out two Lightforge Belts listed for 1500g each in the neutral auction house, Goon Squad would free their hostage. If not, wrote Stuul from Goon Squad, "It would be very unfortunate if we were forced to hold him for the weekend while you try to raid." To encourage the Alliance to pay up, they also camped the Ratchet boat and kidnapped the Auberdine flight master.
A large group of Alliance joined in the fun and vowed to hunt down their beloved flightmasters rather than pay the ransom. Goon Squad soon posted that the hostages were in Bael'Dun Keep in the southern Barrens, and challenged Alliance to come and get them.
Unfortunately for the Horde, enough people complained to GMs that the incipient world PvP battle was nipped in the bud. Five hours into the hostage crisis, GMs struck down the kited flightmasters with instant Curse of Dooms, killing them and allowing Alliance to fly free in Kalimdor once more. "Your flight masters were slaughtered by a overexcited GM," Arktdnonoobs wrote. "We had no part in their deaths."
Goon Squad received commendations from both Horde and Alliance on several servers. Even a CM on the Customer Service Forum, Batta, noted that while the GMs had to kill the flight masters to keep them from being "lost", he admired Goon Squad's ingenuity in pulling off the caper.
So is this an example of innovative world PvP, or a bunch of Horde being jerks? Do you have any plans to spice up your server's PvP in the future?

Set of 60 Talens Van Gogh PencilsAn artist wrote to me yesterday commenting on how much he liked Talens Van Gogh coloured pencils but how difficult they were to find in the USA. He'd found a supply at his local art store and this is what he had to say
I must say that now that I've found a set of the Talens Van Gogh pencils, I think I'm hooked. I could only get my hands on a set of 30 but so far they are wonderful. I need the rest of the colors and probably the watercolor pencils as well.That last comment made me really sit up and think.
I found a set sitting on a shelf getting dusty at a relatively local art supply shop. They had about a half dozen. They haven't been selling which may be partially due to no open stock to replace them.
Potential US customers should scour their local art supply stores. They may have them. Also, ask about them. We need to increase demand or they won't come back
When I found a supply at my local store (a US national art supply chain and mail order), the manager said they didn't sell and they have reduced what they are carrying (they no longer carry Lyra). He thought it partially due to price, partially due to no marketing and partially due to so many of the books on CP only mentioning Prismacolor and sometimes Polychromos.
How many people buy pencils on the basis of what other people recommend? Quite a lot I should think. Well if Prismacolor and Polychromos are the only brands which ever get mentioned by artists who write books, is it any wonder they tend to take the lead in all my polls about Which is the best brand of artist grade coloured pencil??
The thing is, I believe people say what they're using is good if they are happy with that brand - even if they've never ever tried any other brands! However to my mind, being happy with what you've got is insufficient grounds for saying that this brand is the best
I've tried every brand of coloured pencils and I think there are pros and cons to all of them. I really like my Van Goghs. They're not as robust as the Polychromos and the pigment strength of the Caran d'Ache Luminance are doing a very good job of wooing me at the moment (one pencil at a time due to how expensive they are due to the exchange rate!). However if it were a straight fight between my Van Goghs and Prismacolor Pencils, I know I'd choose the Van Goghs every time.
I decided to resurrect my 2007 review of Talens Van Gogh Pencils and give it another airing on this blog! So here it is - rejigged into the product review format I use on this blog.
|Product: Royal Talens - Van Gogh Pencils (Artists and watercolour)
|Summary: Excellent coloured pencils which are difficult to find but well worth the effort. If you ever get a chance to try Van Gogh Coloured Pencils, you'll be very pleasantly surprised. I'm very happy to recommend them.
|Technical Details: Coloured Pencils with guaranteed lightfastness. They helped set the standard for lightfastness for coloured pencils having participated in the original tests. Pigments held in mainly kaolin/wax provide good saturation with smooth application and good blendability
|Who should buy these pencils?
|Who should not buy these pencils?
|Think Again?

By JOE ANDERSON and STEPHANIE FRISCH / For the Orange County Register
There is a popular misconception that common resources like water and power will be plentiful and abundant in the future because it's always been that way in the past. The truth is that unless we maintain and upgrade our infrastructure, those essential resources will become less and less reliable.
Today in South Orange County, we rely on an electrical grid that is decades old and was designed for a population that was a fraction of what we have today. The transmission power goes through the substation at Talega in San Clemente and from there goes on to serve all of South Orange County.
If, for whatever reason, the Talega substation was to go down, we would lose all power to all 330,000 residents in South Orange County until San Diego Gas & Electric could get it back up and running again.
In recognition of the need for a redundant electric system, SDG&E has proposed to improve and upgrade its substation in San Juan Capistrano. This substation, which was originally built in 1918, has had only minor modifications since the 1950's and needs to be upgraded to meet community needs.
By upgrading the substation in San Juan Capistrano, it will be able to keep the lights on if anything happens to the substation at Talega. And Talega will do the same if the Capistrano substation goes down. This is known as a redundant system and when it comes to an essential element like power, it is long overdue.
Unfortunately, it was reported by the Register that a handful of local residents want the Capistrano substation dismantled entirely.
Keep in mind that when this substation was built in 1918, it was surrounded by open fields with no residents for miles. Every resident who bought or rented a house in this neighborhood was well aware that this substation existed long before any of their homes were built.
Whether it is road improvements, new water reliability projects or electrical upgrades, all new infrastructure projects will have opponents determined to turn back the clock to a time when infrastructure like this wasn't available. Ironically, our forefathers dreamed of infrastructure like power and roads as tools that would put their communities on the map and help with the economic growth of their businesses.
Today's community leaders understand the importance of upgrading infrastructure, which is why dozens of local residents, business leaders and environmentalists have joined forces to form the Citizens for Safe and Reliable Power. We all need reliable electric service. Just remember, even the opponents who are trying to stop this electric upgrade project need to plug their computers in somewhere.
Joe Anderson and Stephanie Frisch serve as the co-chairs for the Citizens for Safe and Reliable Power, a coalition of residents, businesses and environmentalists that support SDG&E's proposed South Orange County Reliability Enhancement project.
"It just needs to be moved. It's ludicrous," Dominic Fergus-Bentall, who has lived on Via San Vicente for six years, told the Register. Members of the community have started a petition calling on the California Public Utilities Commission to move the new substation out of town and save a building at the site. SDG&E owned the 6.4 acres long before homes occupied the surrounding land.

A Chemistry major pursues a rigorous course of study that includes a minimum of thirty-four (34) credits in Chemistry, most of which are in prescribed courses, a year of Biological Principles, a year of Calculus-based General Physics, and Math courses through Calculus III.
Chemistry majors are also encouraged to participate in research or independent study. Students also pursuing teaching certification are required to take a year of sarth science. They are also assigned an advisor in the Division of Education to ensure that all New York State requirements are satisfied.
There are many advantages to studying Chemistry at the Mount:
Opportunities outside of the classroom. You could be a student rep at division meetings, an officer in the Biology and Chemistry honor societies, or participate with the American Chemical Society student affiliate chapter on campus. Students organize speakers, museum tours, hiking trips, campus activities like faculty vs. student quiz bowl, and science night for elementary school students.
A strong peer group. Chemistry majors quickly become a part of the science community at the Mount. Students who have majors within the Division of Natural Science take their math and science classes together and quickly form study groups.
Peer tutoring. Science majors work together toward a successful college career as upper-classmen serve as peer tutors, and all students have the opportunity to get help to support their learning efforts. Tutoring can provide you with income, but it will also help you to build your resume and strengthen your knowledge base.
Research. All ful-time faculty members have PhD degrees in a variety of different fields and can offer you the opportunity to develop a research project that will help you to apply your coursework to real problems. A research project will enhance your knowledge and ability to integrate your learning and will impress graduate schools and future employers.
Learning science as a process. Many of our laboratory courses use inquiry-based collaborative learning to introduce students to the process of science and scientific research.
Mentoring. All science students are assigned a full-time faculty advisor to help you explore career options, plan your course schedule and follow your academic progress. New freshmen are assigned a "science sibling" before coming to campus, so that they have the opportunity to ask questions of an upperclassman, student to student.
All Chemistry courses above 1000-level have a pre-requisite of a C or above in CHM 1520 (Chemical Principles II) and a C or above in any other pre-requisite course(s). Biology courses above the 1000-level have a pre-requisite of at least one college-level Chemistry course with a grade of C or better. In addition, all Biology courses above 1000-level have a pre-requisite of a C or above in BIO 1140 (Biological Principles II) or BIO 1040 (Human Anatomy & Physiology II) and a C or above in any other pre-requisite course(s).
A major in Chemistry at the Mount prepares students for a variety of career options, including:
The American Chemical Society ("ACS") maintains a website that will link to a tremendous amount of information about careers in chemistry. You can find it at www.acs.org.
The American Chemical Society reported that between 2001–2005, there was an increase in graduate rates of chemistry students nationally. The US Department of Labor says that "Job growth will occur in professional, scientific, and technical services firms as manufacturing companies continue to outsource their research and development and testing operations to these smaller, specialized firms."

NEW YORK — Too many tourists are being taken for a ride by pedicab drivers charging excessive fees, city officials say.
After one vacationing couple made tabloid headlines for being scammed into paying over $400 for a 12-minute pedicab ride, City Council members introduced a bill aimed at stopping such exorbitant fees. The new bill is on its way to being voted on by the City Council at tomorrow's stated meeting.
While the case of the $400 pedicab ride is extreme, the bill's sponsor, Councilman Dan Garodnick, said today at a committee hearing that the "outrageous fares" are not uncommon throughout Central Park and Times Square, an area he calls "Mid-town's Wild West." Tourists often begin a pedicab ride with the expectation of paying $30 to $40, when at the finish they end up paying anywhere from $90 to $15, he said.
The bill calls for making it impossible for pedicab drivers to stack on any added fees.
Intro. 0597 - 2011 is part of an amendment to a local law to the administrative code of the city of New York and was debated in the Committee on Consumer Affairs. It is designed to eliminate confusing pedicab rates and fees and to simplify what the committee's chair, Garodnick, describes as having become "predatory business practices."
This bill aims to make it mandatory for pedicab drivers to use a timer during all rides, fastened within clear view of the passengers. It would also require that pedicabs charge a per minute rate only and to post the rate on the side of the pedicab.
Information cards must be supplied to all passengers listing the per minute rate, along with the name and license number of the pedicab driver as well. There will be no more hidden fees, surcharges, taxes, or mandatory gratuity added on to the final cost.
The bill is being sponsored by Garodnick and is backed by the city council committee on consumer affairs, including city Councilman Charles Barron and Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras.
Councilman G. Oliver Koppell said he believes the issue would be better handled under the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission, as pedicabs are now to be priced the same way regular taxicabs are.
The New York City Pedicab Owners' Association has endorsed the bill, saying it will help the sector to maintain a good reputation.
The Department of Consumer Affairs, which would be responsible for developing a "pedicab information card" that would display basic consumer protection information, has supported the bill.
The bill was approved at today's committee meeting and goes to the full Council hearing tomorrow.

Grails vs Rails comparison
While following some of the Grails and Rails tutorials (Grails: The Definitive Guide to Grails. RoR: Creating a weblog in 15 minutes) I noticed a big difference on how they approach development. Consequently, I started a thread (Dynamic Domain classes) on the Grails user mailing list to confirm. What I found, thanks to Tim Pidgen, was that Grails is intentionally domain-centric (ie model-centric) whereas Rails is more database-centric. What's the difference? With Grails you modify the domain classes (models) and the database is updated automatically. So properties are explicitly defined in the Grails domain classes; no database modification. Conversely, with Rails you create your "empty" model class and after you modify the database (add new fields to a table) you can just refresh the page; no need to add variables to your models.
Not sure either one is right or wrong; just wanted to point out the differences because it is a pretty significant difference.

Ever wonder why you missed out in the creativity department? I did once but not now.
God, the essence of creativity, stamped His image–His handprint–on His creation, so no one is devoid of creativity. No one.
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:26 (NIV)
Nothing's more creative than DNA. Take, for example, my triplet grandchildren. Same parents. Same womb. Same day of birth–and time (separated by 60 seconds each). Through their DNA God prescribed their features, bends in their dispositions, abilities, gifts–and their differences.
One loves art.
Another appreciates sports.
Creativity isn't limited to music, sports, or artwork. Some of the most creative people I've known are gifted with ideas, arrangements, the spoken word, and even recipes. Proverbs 25:11 describes a ruling rightly given as beautiful as gold apples in silver settings. Ever think of a ruling as potential for creativity?
I find my creative side in writing.
Sometimes my combination of words, spoken or written, amounts to little more than a mess. But when I turn them over to Jesus, He can turn them into a still life, a landscape, or a portrait.
With little effort on my part, my life can look like the artwork of the 2-year-old in this video: a scrambled bunch of crooked lines. But when I hand Him the brush, He fills in the valleys, straightens the paths, and smoothes the way.
How about you?
Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. Luke 3:5

War Related Injury and Illness Study Centers established to conduct research on veterans from any era or conflict.
Jacob B. Gadd, American Legion deputy director for Healthcare, recently visited the War Related Injury and Illness Study Center (WRIISC) at the D.C. VA Medical Center. The Department of Veterans Affairs established WRIISCs in 2001 to primarily conduct research on the Persian Gulf War. The WRIISC now serves veterans from any era or conflict with war-related illnesses and injuries through clinical assessments, education and research. There are currently three WRIISC locations across the country – Washington, D.C. VA Medical Center, East Orange VA Medical Center and Palo Alto, Calif., VA Medical Center. These sites conduct studies and/or evaluations and assessments on patients within their respective geographical regions.
During the site visit, Gadd met with Dr. Matthew Reinhard, director for the D.C. VA Medical Center WRIISC. Reinhard said one of the primary mission's of the center is "to provide a second opinion resource on diagnosis or treatment for patients." Reinhard added that "VA medical center providers can have veteran patients referred and flown in from other states to stay at the D.C. VA Medical Center or other WRIISC location for three to five days and receive a full evaluation, diagnosis and treatment plan – similar to the Mayo Clinic." Patients are seen by the full WRIISC staff, including physicians, nurses and other specialty staff which provide an interdisciplinary and holistic approach to treatment.
In addition to providing clinical assessments, the WRIISC conducts research in basic science, physiological, neuroimaging, behavioral health, clinical treatment trial, health services, and complementary and alternative medicine. One example of its research is the study MIND: Markers for the Identification, Norming and Differentiation of TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). The study was approved and funded in 2009 to develop evidence-based diagnostic criteria and distinguish between TBI and PTS. Dr. Julie Chapman, director of Neuroscience for the WRIISC, is the principal investigator for the MIND study; participants will begin to be enrolled this fall. The study will be held in several VA medical centers and in cooperation with the other WRIISC sites, with a total of 800 Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans. On the MIND brochure created by the WRIISC is a summary of the study that states, "the MIND study aims to integrate a very large data set of multimodal, interdisciplinary measures to comprehensively describe TBI and PTSD in in veterans, build prediction models, identify objective measures that bolster diagnostic criteria and illuminate potential mew therapies.
The American Legion's Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Commission will continue to work closely with the WRIISC to receive updates on research, such as the MIND study, and best practices in treatment. For more information about WRIISCs, go to their website at http://www.warrelatedillness.va.gov.

Born From Pain
Born From Pain
Strength. Born from pain. Beyond that of my flesh.
Betrayed, robbed and beaten, but not defeated. Through my
search for allies, I have found myself.
Persistence is the answer to regain all that was taken.
Hatred drives me onwards
across to desolation of dying dreams and failure,
to find I am my own salvation. From the experience of injustice, from the
horror that I have witnessed comes the knowledge that freedom must be won.
Strangled by frustration, no longer will I be my
victim. My patience is whaning, now all it takes is one spark to set me off. I have to try to find some peace and hold that
peace inside before it gets to late.
Emancipate my mind. Breathing life into my visions,
forcing them into reality.
From paradise into the inferno, into paradise, into paradise.

Motorola may benefit from Samsung slump
Motorola may have gotten a Christmas present from rival mobile phone maker Samsung.
the Asian company was slow to beef up its product portfolio in time for the holiday season, giving Motorola's newest feature-rich phones an edge, analysts said.
South Korea-based Samsung on Friday reported a slump in fourth-quarter profit. Its margins have been hurt by a price war with Finnish rival Nokia, which analysts said may be recovering lost ground.
But more important to Motorola, which typically doesn't compete on price, Samsung has been losing favour with some service providers, who demand a constant flow of new features to maintain consumer interest.
In the fourth quarter alone, Motorola unveiled about 20 new phones worldwide in an attempt to sharpen its design edge. At the top of the list was the company's ultra-slim Razr V3, heavily marketed in recent months. The model is billed as the world's thinnest flip phone, weighing in at around 80g.
Analysts said that publicity has helped draw consumers to Motorola's overall portfolio, which also includes more affordable models such as the V265, which features a camera, advanced speech recognition and the ability to download games.
Analysts have criticised Samsung's sluggishness in moving new phones to market. American Technology Research analyst Albert Lin said: "We think Samsung will be plagued with problems until they get their new phones out."
"Customers like Verizon are offering less Samsung," Lin said. "Samsung's problems are going to be something that ultimately helps Motorola and Nokia."
The change marks a reversal of fortune for Motorola, which a year ago stumbled in getting camera phones - then a hot new trend - to market in time for the holidays, which helped the competition.
Samsung said it expects margins to bounce back in the first quarter as it sells new handset models at higher prices.
For now, its weakness could help Motorola beat Wall Street estimates when it reports fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday.
Loop Capital Markets analyst Ren Zamora, who rates Motorola shares "outperform", said: I think that they [Motorola] are going to have a good quarter. I still think this holiday selling season was strong. People like Motorola and Nokia and Sony Ericsson had opportunities to gain."
Analysts on average expect Motorola to report earnings of 24 cents a share, up from 20 cents a share earlier. Sales are seen rising to $8.45bn from $8.02bn a year ago.
Motorola declined to comment.
Motorola's share of the global handset market stood at 13.4 per cent at the end of the third quarter, according to Gartner Dataquest, placing it third worldwide. Nokia, the market leader, had roughly 30.9 per cent, while Samsung had 13.8 per cent.

Replay – Spy Fiction
Long before Deadly Premonition aped Twin Peaks, Swery took a shot at his own version of Metal Gear Solid. Spy Fiction didn't sell well, but it's fondly remembered in some pockets of gamers for its quirky take on stealth action. We decided to take a look at this piece of Swery's early work for Replay.

The other night Weller and I got to sending YouTube clips back and forth about our favorite sports moments(that we remember). They covered just about every sport from the time I was seven to this past February. So I figured I would put them all up in one place for everyone to see and discuss and I'm sure there will be much of that.
We'll start with the easy one:
I could watch that all day. This is the only proof that I have that the Rams were at one time good. At the time my Dad and I shared season tickets with some other folks and we had the privilege of being at this game the week before. Before that 1999 season the Rams had spent four years in St. Louis and were a combined 22-42. To see our team go from that bad to that good and then win the Super Bowl like that was just awesome. This is still the most exciting Super Bowl ever, no matter what anyone says.

"TELL my kids I love them and I'm sorry," were the last words of Melissa Castle before she fell from the roof of the Wyvern car park, an inquest heard yesterday.
A series of highly traumatic events during her life left the 28-year-old dependant on drugs and alcohol, as well as suffering from several mental disorders.
However, the coroner delivered a narrative conclusion as he could not be certain of Melissa's intentions when she climbed on to the roof of the car park last April.
Giving his verdict, coroner David Ridley said because of substances in the mother-of-two's system on the morning of her death, it was not certain whether she planned to kill herself.
He said: "Melissa has been the victim of a number of episodes of physical and sexual abuse over the years that resulted in her becoming reliant on drugs and alcohol.
"In 2013, she was diagnosed with a personality disorder, post-traumatic stress syndrome and a dependence on heroin, cocaine, methadone and alcohol.
"On the night of April 3 and the early morning of April 4, Melissa took a large amount of drugs and alcohol. This, combined with a disagreement with an acquaintance, exasperated her state of mind.
"At 11.32, despite the efforts of police officers, she pushed herself off the top floor of the car park, sustaining multiple head injuries not sustainable with life.
"Due to the presence of drugs and alcohol in her system it is unclear whether she had the requisite intention to take her own life."
The inquest, in Salisbury, heard details from Melissa's mother and police officers of physical abuse within the family as Melissa was growing up and that she was sexually abused as a child by a babysitter. After refusing counselling, she turned to drink but in her early teens she was raped while heavily under the influence of alcohol.
She was in a number of violent relationships and in her twenties turned to drugs, most notably heroin and crack cocaine. In 2011, she was kidnapped and gang-raped which led her to become increasingly paranoid, the inquest heard.
She threatened to take her own life several times and in early 2013 she was twice admitted to hospital because of her mental illness.
Despite her problems, Melissa was said to have cared deeply for her two children, who lived with her mother.
The night before she died Melissa had consumed a large amount of alcohol and heroin with a friend with whom she is later said to have had an argument. The next morning she phoned her mother, Hilary, as well as other family members.
In a statement read out at the inquest, Hilary said: "She told me she loved me, the babies and dad. She said she was on the roof of the Wyvern car park so I ended the conversation and told the police.
"When I spoke to her again she said 'I'm alright. I'm free. I have got to do this as I'm not going to get any better."
Police attempted to talk Melissa down. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Money management is the process of knowing where you are spending your money today and having a well-thought-out plan in place for where you want it to go in the future. This program will cover the core concepts of money management and teach you how to:
- Set Goals
- Get Organized
- Track Spending
- Build a Budget
- Save Money
Chapter 1: Set Goals
Taking the time to set goals today allows you to achieve what you want in the future.
Set specific goals
Financial goals should be specific. For example, wanting to save $1,000,000 for retirement by age 60 is a goal, but wanting to be rich is just a wish. Before you start to save, determine exactly what you want, when you want it, and how much it will cost.
There are three basic goal types: short-term (achievable in under a year), mid-term (achievable in one to five years), and long-term (achievable in five-plus years). If you have multiple goals, you may choose to work toward them all at once or concentrate on one and then move to the next.
You can use the Financial Goals Chart to list your goals:
For short and mid-term goals, the calculation for how much you need to set aside each month is simple: the cost minus the amount you have saved so far divided by the number of months you have to save.
Example: The laptop computer you want is $800, and you would like it in six months. You have not saved anything yet. To reach this goal, you will need to set aside $133 per month ($800/6 = $133).
Long-term goals are a little more complicated because you can deposit your savings into an investment vehicle and earn interest, which will help you achieve your final savings goal. (You can do this for short and mid-term goals too, but the interest earned is usually minimal.) However, whatever you are saving for will also likely cost more in the future because of inflation (the gradual rise in the cost of goods and services over time). You can use the financial calculator below to figure out how much you should set aside each month for long-term goals. (Use your best guess as to how much you will need to save and what your return will be.)
Example: Your goal is to save $10,000 in ten years for your child's higher education. If the annual rate of return (interest) averages five percent, you will need to set aside $64.40 each month.
Be flexible
Creating a budget (discussed in Chapter 4) will help you determine how much you can afford to save each month for your goals. If you simply can't manage to put away the amount you thought you could, don't give up. Consider if you can extend the goal achievement date or set a similar goal that is cheaper. Perhaps a $5,000 Caribbean cruise is not doable, but you can save $2,000 for a vacation in Florida.

Having an Impact
"We desperately need a kidney donor!"
This was what the director of "Chai Lifeline" in
After repeated calls from the same party pointing out the urgency of the situation, the rabbi suggested that he place an ad in the local Anglo-Jewish weeklies asking for kidney donors. Of the dozen responses the mot suitable candidate turned out to be a 60 year-old man. When asked what motivated him to make this offer, he gave the following explanation:
"I never succeeded in becoming a wealthy man and always felt sorry that I could not contribute enough to the various appeals for funds to have any real impact on the cause at hand. Now I feel that I can have a real impact on someone's life and after discussing it with my wife I decided to offer my kidney."

KRISTI KIRK (PATRIOTSANDPAULIES.WORDPRESS.COM) – Blogger, author and New York City based financial advisor, Josh Brown, The Reformed Broker, recently came out with a list naming 25 financial media players who he feels are today's most dangerous. "Dangerous in a good way," says Brown. Beyond ranking at the top of their fields, Brown says these financial journalists are the movers and shakers who pose a danger to the status quo.
"We tried it [the establishment's] way, allowing the banks and other corporations to write the laws and make all of our decisions for us. Turns out, that's not true democracy or capitalism, it's something else entirely, and we've all had enough," Brown says,
"These are the folks leading the charge to take it back."

That's Apple's New Data Center? Where's the Giant Glass Cube?
When plans for it were first announced, Apple's North Carolina data center was described as "as big as they come" and in more colloquial parlance, as "big-assed." And that is truly the case, as this brief aerial video posted to YouTube demonstrates.
The facility, which is nearly five times the size of Apple's giant data center in Newark, Calif., isn't exactly pretty, but as far as efforts to house 500,000 square feet of data center space in a single building go, it's pretty impressive. And it does have a bit of Area 51 about it, particularly since Apple (AAPL) hasn't yet revealed its true purpose. That said, it's most likely related to some infrastructure-intensive cloud-computing initiative.

Those witches are convening
To make a lengthy queue,
Of Bloggers they will visit
BEWARE! it could be you!
All Susans, Sues and Suzys,
Your names are on their list,
Better put away your treasures
I know you get my gist.
Sarah and Laurie are worried,
They hide their Quimper stash,
And hope those naughty witches,
Get sick on horned toad hash!
They sip a few "bonetinis",
And have some witchy spats
Then prepare to toilet paper,
Back Porch Musing's and Brooklyn Pats!
They'll send some toady pizza,
To Stephanie, Bill and Patti
Rett, Joanne and Marsha,
Hide, as rotten eggs go splattie!
Hey Carols, Lynns and Lindas,
Watch out Natasha too,
They are dropping off a cauldron
Of slimy warthog stew.
If you think their junkets over
You really are quite green,
They hope to visit all the friends
Who hang out with Kathleen!
So Shelia sing your sweet songs
BJ, hide your Dunkin' D's,
This trip continues next time,
Come visit if you please!

We understand it takes a little planning - we've been both organiser and snapper running around an industrial unit! It's worth having a quick chat as, you may have called but we are not qualified to go off shore on rigs... We also need to know what it is you aiming to photograph, so we bring the right gear - no not all cameras are a like and we have some that are designed for fast moving environments and others better suited to tripods! And let's not forget lighting, having experienced the 'bowles' as said of a wood chipping plant with two off shoe flash units and expected to light up Aladdin's cave! Great planning by the client's PR agency who went off script on the day.
Once we know what we are doing, we will then work throughout the environment with as little impact as possible - work time is money and keeping employees doing what they should do is paramount to us. We will keep gear to a minimum and if we do need space we'll sort it with you in the planning stage not last minute. If a specific work-flow is required, lets sort the timing out so we arrive in advance, see the work-flow once or twice and then shoot as we can then capture the best stages with thought and creativity not simple reaction.

Miscellaneous thoughts about miscellaneous matters
For some reason I started thinking about the Guelphs and Ghibellines, Tories, Know Nothings, Northern Leagues, and various other names that political parties have chosen. While some of the names were intended to show what the party was about, the stance of the party on issues and political preferences tend to evolve over time; thus the name might cease to be appropriate. And some of the names are just words that were applied to a political group.
Perhaps the most interesting terms
I sometimes find myself wondering why someone isnt minding his or her own business. And I usually to do that, but The Valley Advocate got me to do otherwise. This preference hasnt shown up in my blog often, but blogs are for people to vent their opinions. The Feature Article in the paper was about physician assisted suicide, which is an excellent example of people taking responsibility for themselves. Then when I opened the paper the first heading I saw was an opinion piece about healthy food
Restoring Good Government
For decades I have read dire predictions of the decline of Western Civilization, and sometimes the predictions seemed almost persuasive, but when one looks carefully one finds only opinions supported by other opinions, like the Anthropogenic Climate Change arguments, as substantial as the stuffing of a hot air balloon. Often those predictions of the fall of Western Civilization express the desires of a few people and poor analysis of what has happening and

Reasonable people tend to agree with Thoreau that the government that governs least governs best, but there are practical reasons for having some government. What would be the best way to organize that little bit of government that we would need? Opinions would vary, but there are certain characteristics that would be desirable and other characteristics that would be undesirable. If we look at those characteristics, then an answer should be that form that best first the desires.
The philosophy and idealism that was championed during the Enlightenment and cherished in the United States of America and restored by the Counter Culture in the 1960s and 1970s is starting to erode again. There seem to be people who think that their opinions and religious beliefs are better than the opinions of others. I learned that that opinion is best characterized as totalitarianism, and it has led to religious persecution in the past and in the present. That is the philosophy that ISIS is

Today's video is my favorite in the series. We'll walk through seven core "conversion improvement strategies". Most of these strategies look at a specific area to test on your site and it's these same techniques we've used to make gains of over 100% in conversions (both signups and sales) on our sites and with our clients.
Missed the two earlier posts? Here are links to the first and second. If you missed your copy of the conversion checklist, click here.
Today we'll cover:
1. Space to think – learn how, by carving out just 30 minutes of uninterrupted time to look through your website with "fresh eyes", you can be your own "high priced consultant". I'm certain if you'll do this, you'll write a long list of solid opportunities for sales growth.
2. Logical flow – in almost every market, you're dealing with time poor, stressed and "damn busy" prospects. It's our job to make the journey from a prospect's first exposure with us through to the sale both logical and free from unnecessary distractions.
This may sound obvious, but the internet is full of marketers misdirecting their prospects and wondering why nothing sells. This problem is endemic!
We'll look at how a logical break in your sales process will cripple even the hottest offer and best sales copy. Streamline your website 'flow' and give your sales a serious boost.
3. Confusion – I have this mantra scribbled on a pink sticky note below my monitor "the confused prospect doesn't buy". This means that before we try to sell anything, we must help our visitor orientate themselves. They must feel comfortable and know where they are. Then when we present our sales message, we must use copy, layouts and graphics that make our message simple to understand.
Remember! The dreaded back button is always there, looming at the top of our page and the moment our prospect has to think a little too hard, or work to find something on a page, they're gone in a click (and they never ever ever come back!).
We'll also look at the different elements of your sales message and how to test them, and I'll share a handy tip I use to get great copy quickly when consulting with clients.
4. The Power of Specificity – Learn the value of moving from general and 'easy to dismiss' sales claims to 'sit up and take notice' specific and punchy copy.
5. Upping Your Sales Copy – We'll discuss techniques you can use to quickly improve your own sales copywriting skills as well as when and how you should consider engaging professional copywriters to help you.

At exactly 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 7th, the 1881 Census was released online!
The people who first got the news were the attendees at the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) who were at the Library and Archives Canada attending a conference on Genealogy and Local History. I was one of the attendees.
On the database, researchers can access the name, age, country or province of birth, nationality, religion, and occupation of Canada's residents at the time of the 1881 census. It also has the actual census return itself, which you can also access.
The press release said that "It is the first regularly scheduled collection of national statistics in Canada. Information was collected for Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia, and the North-West Territories".
I checked the census Thursday evening for the BARCLAY (my direct line) family in Nova Scotia and I found them, but I found the children in one grouping and the mother and father in another grouping. Funny - but that is how it was.
Also, their surname was spelled as BARCKLAY - which was also unusual.
Sylvie Temblay, the Chief Project Head at the Canadian Genealogy Centre, expects 750,000 searches per week on the 1881 census.
The index was created by familysearch.org, and access to the digital images of the original census was work done by the Library and Archives of Canada.
The database is available at <www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1881>.

Obama's Prized "Green Tech" on the Chopping Block
Fixing the economy by greening the earth? That concept will be put on hold.
Green technology has been promoted as an economic engine for the United States, something the country aims to champion to create hundreds of thousands of jobs, protect the environment and improve the American way of life.
We've all heard it. The tough part is accepting it is not altogether true.
There's little denying that green industry and green consumer habits are growing, year by year. We see efforts, here and there, to become more environmentally aware, efficient and careful not to waste. Hybrid cars are gaining ground and electric cars will be on our streets in notable numbers before long. Power plants are cleaner. Enterprising water conservation devices are being used more in dry climate areas. We recycle more than we used to.
But green technology as an economic force large enough to be a driver of the U.S. economy?
While noble, it's also fanciful, especially with Washington scrutinizing every line of the federal budget as lawmakers try to find billions of dollars in cuts and trims. So…
Look for federal green energy funding to hit the chopping block at some point this year, as President Obama and lawmakers in both parties negotiate domestic spending cuts for months ahead. Don't be surprised if green tech investment takes a huge hit.
In 2008, then-candidate Obama proposed $150 billion in federal funding for green technology, $15 billion a year for 10 years. In his most recent State of the Union Address, he referred to the challenge and promise of green technology as this generation's "Sputnik moment" -- an industrial and economic wake-up call. But that pitch fell flat.
Under budget pressures, the president pared the federal commitment to $10 billion a year in 2010.
In the 2012 budget? Even less -- maybe only $2 billion to $3 billion -- will be spent after budget cutting negotiations for the Energy Department, Transportation Department, Pentagon, Agriculture Department, National Science Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency and others.
So-called green tech accounts in the federal government won't vanish, but they will be pared. The White House will say the federal investment in green tech, while smaller than the president had pledged, is still vital to spurring domestically developed technologies and encouraging private venture capital.
Count on some finely crafted speeches to this effect in the months ahead. There's no walking away from green technology and its economic importance to the future of the country. This will remain true, and will be championed by both parties and by any presidential candidates worth listening to. But without the push that comes from federal dollars, you can set aside any prospect of fully embracing green technology as a near-term economic driver.
The green economy remains a noble goal. Large strides are required to reach its full potential, but only baby steps are being taken at the moment.

The value of anything is established by its properties. If values aren't really arbitrary, then there is an absolute morality. The rest of this is trying to explain why values can't be arbitrary, they can only be misunderstood as arbitrary.
This thread is an argument that order is the basis of all concepts. Order is very rigid, so when you build a concept like a moral system on it, like all concepts should be built, it is going to lead to absolute results. Morality is based on values, and the only way to justify morality is to prove your values are accurate. My argument is that values aren't arbitrary, thus there is an absolute morality.
Original post below:
Many atheists shy away from absolute morality because it sounds religious. I argue that there has to be an absolute morality because the universe is absolute. This may seem wrong as there are many subjective things. I am contending that this isn't true because subjectivity resides on the conceptual level and like disorder and change is not a part of actual existence, but rather merely descriptive. Absolute morality has to exist because the base foundation for morality is order, which enables it to have structure as a social concept. This means that even as a concept, it has to have an absolute and most perfect form as a social concept.
I have been working on this for a while, and I think I am nearing completion, but I am wondering what faults may be found with this line of thought... I have had to return to the drawing board to correct my errors a few times already.
This below is an addendum:
What I am contending is that once morality is conceived as a concept, the nature of order upon which any concept is structured necessitates a most perfect form.
Individual perception causes humans to see the concept with innaccuracy in contrast to the order with which the concept maintains structure in conceptual reality. This creates subjectivity.
But where I am really going with this is that order is the base functional principle of any structure in the universe.
At the very foundation of the level of actuality lies order. Without order, molecules neither form nor bind. Order enables structure, which in turn enables every other level of existence. Order permeates every level of existence as its foundation, including anything that exists on the conceptual level. For this reason, structural order serves as the archetypal basis that justifies having a moral system.
Disorder is mistaken as coexisting with order, but it exists on the conceptual level only and is a name given to an observation of change. It is not a counterpart to order. That means disorder is not actual. It is conceptual.
These things tie together to start to point out that best action can be established on the basis of the order of the universe, and the lack of actuality of disorder which would be its only challenger.

Sadly, 'the best you can do', might be a far cry from what someone else might be able to do. Even if you are doing 'the best you can', total screw ups can happen. It would seem to me that for a system to be absolute, this could mean 'it does not screw up'. If the system is dependent upon a perfectly able human being for its application, then screw ups would be more common than hopped for.
The theist moral ethical model seems to expect some near -perfect result, else you could burn in hell. I expect that the subpar function for most of us would condemn most to hell by age 12. A very good ethical/moral model would atleast demand a significant mental ability in its users, waiting till age 18 for a condemnation to hell would be more christian.
I'll say what I said to Unseen but add this:
From whose perspective doesn't interest me. Flawed perspectives that fail to account for data will often come to flawed conclusions.
I think you are mistaking me as saying situationally subjective decision making will go away. It wont. In the end, in any decision, people who fully understood the relationship that all the related factors had with each other, would all agree that the best action is the same thing, unless you have a tie, in which all options that tied would all be agreed on as best out of all other available options.
Okay so Marilyne, I can work with that. But I was describing the measuring process. I wasn't really trying to get to absolute value. It was just supposed to explain in simple terms how valuation as a measurement happens. Valuation occurs from the observation of perceived properties. You are talking about biased valuations, but those are dependent on other valuations and so on, back to the beginning. What I am interested in that paragraph is to review how the valuing system works, not what screws it up.
Now what I actually am focusing on after laying the framework with how values form is accurate value/more accurate value. Now what I am not saying is that there is some kind of universal value. I am saying that each scenario has a most accurate value, nothing more, because you are right, each situation changes the appropriate prioritizing that has to go on.
Values may be mostly formed by misperception of properties, but they are always formed through an observation of perceived properties. The attempt is always to understand and be accurate. We have pretty much beaten it to death that value is a type of measurement. Since measurement is for accuracy, more accurate valuation is essential.
John, can you give an example of an unbiased valuation? Even theoretically, the very act of 'valuing' is dependent on a brain to interpret/concieve/assess etc- all of which occur within a biased framework (experience). What does it even mean to accurately value something? If you are trying to grasp or explain how we can best understand reality, or the actual nature of things, in order to have a value system that corresponds most logically with reality, I think I get that, but you have me totally lost on the 'order' thing.
Unfortunately, I can't give you an example of an unbiased valuation. That doesn't mean it couldn't happen. What I am interested in is the process itself and how that process should inform us to make more appropriate valuations.
Here's some background on the order issue. Earlier, about a year ago, there was a thread on morality where it boiled down to you can't have a moral system because order and disorder are of null value. That person argued some sort of functional alternative and to toss out the notion of morality. It is generally understood that in order to have a moral system you have to value order. Instead I argue, that order doesn't get valued, because it is the basis for valuation. So you don't value order, it is just the way things are and you have no choice but to use it if you are building a framework.
What I really contend here is that morality is based on something real as in what is good is also what is more best per se, and we are pretty much a multiple centuries-long evaluation of what is better. What is less good is tried and found wanting, and we continue to refine our understanding of what is better. It is a trial and error process. But I don't think we need to toss morality out. It works. It definitely needs to continue to be refined, but we have discovered much as the human race regarding this subject so far.
So, by 'order', do you mean 'reality'? As in the 'order' of the universe and nature? If I understand you, I think I agree. I take the notion of morality a step further-or perhaps sideways- but I agree that the more accurately we percieve reality, the better we should be at forming a *functional* moral code.
I like to condense it a little further, in order to take all the joy out of it that I can. I think that morality is the action guide we use in order to get what we want. We just like to dress them up a little to make it palatable and fun. Have you seen the Vaticans art collection? The ceremony, the music, the robes!!! Who do you think wins the contest- my dry and boring theory or the catholic church? Humanism needs costumes.
Back to the order thing- I'm still not convinced 'order' is necessary in value formation. You could come up with a moral framework based on nonsense that will get you nowhere near achieving your goals-wouldn't that qualify as an exception to your theory?
Yeah, basically, but also more specifically in terms of structure.. Order is necessary in any structure or framework. Even those words you used are based on the notion of ordering. A moral framework based on nonsense, still appeals to some sort of order as in it is "based" on something and still a framework.
That is where the notion that disorder is nothing comes into mind. A completely disordered framework, wouldn't exist. It would simply be nothing.
People will kill themselves if they think it is the right thing to do. It isn't just to get what we want.
I just don't see it.
You can believe that something is 'absolute', if it helps. I mostly see ethics/morality as social contract. When theists link morality with absoluteism, they are pretending that their system of 'the good' as no other equal, and that any other attempt at defining 'the good' has to be invalid. Theists want to monopolize 'the good', virtue, principles, or social agreements/contracts, and dictate all social relationships.
When you assert that your model is absolute, you really are saying, that everyone else is wrong, you are 'right', and you get to dictate to everyone! I guess to put it bluntly, this discribes a Facist wet dream!
When I see folks asserting a virtue for themselves, and that their idea of virtue it absolute, they are really saying that, 'I can't be wrong!' They are silencing their conscience, and going full steam ahead into self delusion. Some of these folks put on fancy uniforms or hats, strut thier stuff on prime time television, or speek from high podiums to the assumed pee-ons below them. Not knowing what goes on in back rooms with these folks, seems scary to me.
We need reasonably good writen social contracts, and an open culture wide conversation about the contents!
Well, ultimately it comes down to the fact that value is subjective. I don't have to accord any value to filet mignon or sewage. They may have a value in some context, but isn't that just another way of saying "it's subjective"? Likewise with 'virtue'. Without looking it up, my definition of virtue is 'that which corresponds to the valued or esteemed'- A woman of virtue could be one who prays 5 times a day and remains celibate and covers her hair and skin. Or maybe she's worthy of scorn for wasting her life.
You say we need "reasonably good" contracts. Who's idea of reasonably good? Can women participate in the conversation? How about felons? Rapists? People with head injuries? Scientologists? Husbands?-just joking on that last one, sometimes I go too far.
If there's an absolute value, it can't have anything to do with anything absolute or objective. Why? Because "value" requires an "evaluation" which requires an "evaluator."
And so we get to the bottom of this.
The need for an evaluator certainly removes the possibility of a "absolute" or "cosmic" or "intrinsic" value, all of which imply you don't need an evaluator, or that there is some sort of super-evaluator like god--I think here it's safe to figure THAT is a non-starter!
But does that mean there cannot be objectivity? That the evaluator cannot have a proper standard for making his valuations?
(Mind you I am not implying that all evaluators could or even should come to the same valuation; I do believe there is a role for context. To use an earlier example of mine, to me a glass full of sewage is worthless--less than worthless in fact, but to someone else it is valuable because it can be the feedstock for their bio fuel cell. Neither of us is wrong, but it would be wrong for me to value it because he does, or for him not to because I don't. I am instead arguing that perhaps, for a specific evaluator there may be an objective answer for him.
"Social contract"? But then anyone who opts out of the contract isn't bound by it.

Jones earns All-American in women's slopestyle at nationals
March 7, 2013 | Sun Valley, Idaho
Liberty University senior snowboarder Eden Jones narrowly missed the podium in Thursday's women's slopestyle competition at the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboarding Association national championships at Sun Valley, Idaho.
She finished in fourth place out of a field of 52 riders from 17 other schools, nearly sticking a landing of a high-amplitude jump on her second run that would have put her in the top three.
"She was one step off the podium, so that's pretty elite stuff," Liberty head coach Will Scheren said. "She's still all-American. That girl killed it today. She had the eye of the tiger. She went out there and was in fourth place after the first round and said, 'I'm going to go out and win now.' She went for it and almost got it. She was really close."
Riders performed freestyle maneuvers over a 45-foot jump and 55-foot jump before doing tricks on rails that were 20 feet long.
"I just figured this was my last contest of the year so I might as well go for it," Jones said. "Once you get this far, if you don't push yourself as hard as you can you will regret it."
"I could not be more proud of the way Eden has rode all year or happy for her today," Scheren added. "She has been preparing for this contest since the beginning of the fall semester and it paid off today."
On Thursday night, Liberty skier Tim Steltzer had the opportunity to compete in a big-air exhibition, as his younger brother Jonathan did at last year's nationals in Maine.
"He was selected out of over 160 riders here, which shows he is well enough respected at Liberty," Scheren said. "They take eight kids, four skiers and four snowboarders, based on what the riders say they want. He's out here looking great off the 68-foot jump and his (stunts) off the 55-foot jump look clean and perfect. He's feeling good."
On Friday, the Flames will conclude competition in the men's snowboard slopestyle event at 9 a.m. (11 a.m. EST), with Kevin Hoff, Dave Promnitz, Jesse Spadino, and Brendan Sullivan in the running, before Steltzer competes in the skiing slopestyle held on the same course.
"Everyone's hitting big 55- and 60-foot jumps," Scheren said. "It's rewarding as a coach to see the plan kind of come together. They've been getting for nationals all year and now they're doing it."
The competition was delayed a day after six inches of fresh snowfall slowed the course down earlier in the week. Visit the USCSA Nationals website for live coverage and results.
