Fury as city residents used as benefits 'guinea pigs'
THE impact of the UK Government's welfare reform programme is set to be scrutinised by council chiefs amid "serious concerns" that the city's most vulnerable residents could be hard hit.
Councillor Ricky Henderson, the city's health and social care convener, is calling for a report on the effect of the new benefits system under Universal Credit.
The moves comes as it emerged that 1800 housing association tenants in the Capital had been pushed into a pilot scheme under threat of losing their benefits.
Dunedin Canmore agreed to become the only housing association in Scotland to test out plans to pay housing benefit direct to tenants.
The association's 1800 recipients of housing benefits will have the cash paid into their bank account to then pay on to their landlord.
But some tenants have been left angry that they are being used as "guinea pigs" to try out the Universal Credit reform before it comes into effect next October.
Cllr Henderson said: "I knew that Dunedin Canmore had volunteered but I wasn't aware that tenants were being volunteered by default. But I think it will be a valuable exercise and I know that Dunedin Canmore will put in place every support they can.
"Hopefully both they and the council will learn from this pilot as there are some serious concerns about how this will operate in practice."
Gordon Blair, who has lived in Murdoch Terrace for six years, said that Dunedin Canmore had elected to take part in the pilot without asking for tenants' opinions.
The 58-year-old said he received a letter saying that his housing benefits "may be suspended" if he refused.
Mr Blair, a coach driver for 32 years before being left unable to work through depression, emphysema and athritis, said: "Dunedin Canmore volunteered to do this, but I was never consulted.
"The letter I received from the council said I have to get in touch over this scheme or they may suspend my benefits.
"This does not become law until October next year. They have no legal means to force people to do this. We're being used as guinea pigs."
Graeme Russell, housing services director at Dunedin Canmore, said: "It's a major change for a lot of people. But it's going to happen anyway and we're anxious to ensure that our people are as well- prepared as possible."
Mr Russell said that discussions had been conducted with the city council and the Citizen's Advice Bureau over the running of the pilot.
A council spokesman said: "This pilot project is being carried out across the UK on behalf of the DWP. Our revenues and benefits section are supporting Dunedin Canmore as all local authorities and housing associations prepare for the introduction of the Universal Credit scheme."
A DWP spokeswoman said: "The demonstration projects will help us to understand the demand for budgeting support and the best ways to deliver it."

Linux Mint 9 and now Linux Mint 13 (amd64 version), TurboPrint 2.24-1 (amd64), Epson Stylus Pro 3800, USB connection
Problem: printing stops after some variable amount of printing. See the attached screen capture. This started happening about a year ago, and I thought the printer was going bad. I replaced the USB cable, but that did not help. Then I tried printing from Windows (in a VirtualBox virtual machine, in Linux) on this same computer, and this works reliably. My conclusion is that my problem is TurboPrint related.
Normally I print to this printer fron the Gimp, using the TurboPrint Gimp plugin. Printing from the Gimp, not using the plugin, gives the same results.
Looking for a solution on the TurboPrint forums, I found a suggestion that files remaining from an old installation of TurboPrint could interfere with a newer installation, so i deinstalled TurboPrint, removed all folders and files relating to TurboPrint, and then reinstalled. No success.
I attach a screenshot from a recent print attempt. Printing was from the Gimp using the TurboPrint Gimp plugin. Printing started then stopped. The TurboPrint Printer Monitor reported a USB error. Running lsusb in the Terminal shows the printer connected.

Drug Task Force Finds Eight Pounds of Marijuana in Woman's Home
Detectives said they also found drug sale ledgers, $3,300 in cash, and items used to sell marijuana in the home.
St. Charles County Drug Task Force detectives found more than 8 pounds of marijuana in a woman's home in St. Peters Tuesday. Angela Marie Miller, 32, of the 1400 block of Sandra Elaine Drive in St. Peters, was charged Wednesday with distributing a controlled substance and unlawful use of drug-related items. Drug Task Force detectives served a search warrant on Miller's home Tuesday and found 8 pounds and 7.5 ounces of marijuana in her bedroom closet. According to the report, most of the marijuana was in large, heat-sealed plastic bags, but several bags were being condensed into smaller bags for sale. Detectives said they found several ledgers documenting marijuana sales for thousands of dollars and money order receipts for transfer of …

Enter the Void with me and Chris
Image hosted by ioncinema.com
Twitter serves all kinds of wonderful purposes in my life; the biggest and best of those is introducing me to amazingly cool people who I would've never crossed paths with otherwise. One of those individuals is Chris. Like me, he's a cinephile who loves a lively film discussion. When he saw my tweeted praise for Gaspar Noé's new film Enter the Void, he raised a 140-character eyebrow and asked me to explain what I saw in the film. What follows is our email exchange on the topic. Spoilers occur. You should also know that Chris saw the long version of the film followed by a Q&A with the director and two leads. I saw the short version.
Hi Chris-
Thanks again for initiating a conversation about Enter the Void and being willing to hear my thoughts on it.
I'm glad we can agree on the opening credits being remarkable. By the time those wrapped, my heart was pounding and my feet were tapping. I was ready to go clubbing, which isn't something I'd normally be craving -- not that that's how I judge a film's quality, mind you.
Anyway, onto the discussion. As you pointed out with Noé's Q&A quote, one of his intentions was to recreate the feeling of being high. Not the noblest of intentions, I dare say, and it's certainly been done before (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas comes to mind), but he did achieve a mind-altering sensation with Enter the Void. So one point for Noé.
Along the same lines, but with a more substantial bent: I recently read that he is interested in cinema as a physical experience. A few months back I read a Tilda Swinton interview in which she said the same thing about her film I Am Love. At that point, the thought seemed downright dumb to me. What, are we doing scratch-and-sniff movies next? Thing is, I did find I Am Love to be a physical experience. The filmmaker really did evoke sense memories with his imagery.
Because of that positive experience, I walked into Enter the Void with an open mind. I was ready to succumb to the experience, even if the storyline, etc. was weak or even silly. My expectations were low, which can be a good thing at the movies. Leaves room for pleasant surprises, which this film definitely was.
I can actually understand where your "irredeemably full of shit" complaint comes from. Taken at a glance, Enter the Void doesn't have much substance outside of the rollercoaster ride of visuals. The dialogue is utilitarian and the acting of the two leads is really weak, especially the guy, Oscar, but I think that was intended. As the director said in one interview about Oscar's character: "The guy's inconsequential. He's not a loser and he's certainly not a winner." I think Noé wanted these characters to feel stunted in their development, as if the childhood trauma lingered and kept them childlike and vulnerable -- bumping around the world in confusion and seeking the impulsive pleasures in life as a child would.
OK, but getting more to the point of what worked. Cinema experience-wise, I was pretty much riveted to my seat. At one point, my legs fell asleep and at another my arms did because I was sitting frozen in fascination. The slipstream editing created a really dreamlike experience as did the "flyover" transitions when we whizzed over the buildings. Even though that flyover stuff got redundant by the end of the film, it helped maintain a swoony, inner ear imbalance that I relished. Even in scenes where it was clear we were flying through a model of Tokyo, the "fakeness" of those visuals was appealing.
Now for the major themes. Noé touches on a range of Big Life Topics in Enter the Void: sex, death, love, power, violence, birth. None of those represent new territory, of course, and he could be accused of oversimplifying it all to the point of dumbing it down, but I appreciated that feeling that I was consuming the essence of those ideas in a really elemental form -- almost like swallowing pills or shooting right into a vein.
And I have to say I loved the ending (after the blurry just-born baby POV footage) when the giant words THE VOID (instead of THE END) fill the screen. That bluntly, Gaspar sends us out of the theater to enter the void of the real world like newborn babies -- where car accidents and orgasms and drug deals and flashing lights surround us -- a world just as overstimulating, confusing and mind-altering as his film.
So I think that's it for my first round. I look forward to your response.
Take care,
Dear Nic --
Let me just say first that I agree with many of the things you've said about Enter the Void, and that I, too, walked into it with a very open mind. In fact, my enthusiasm and expectations were quite high. One of the things I find myself talking about a lot with other cinephiles is the question of whether directors have a responsibility to their audiences and the characters they create, and if so, what can be justified in terms of what they put us through. Although, as you know, I detest Lars von Trier because I find his ideas generally far too facile to justify the atrocities he piles relentlessly upon his characters and audience, I almost always bring up Noé's Irreversible as an example of extreme abuse that I feel is thoroughly justified by what the director manages to illuminate through the experience.
And apart from all that, Noé's just a goddamned prodigiously talented filmmaker. There are few directors this side of Godard who remind me so thrillingly of the nearly limitless possibility of cinema in the hands of provocateurs willing to tweak its conventions and push its limits as far as they can in order, as Manohla Dargis put it in her initial review of Enter the Void, to show us something we have not seen before. Who better, I thought, to take on such an audacious project? Who else would have even the faintest chance of succeeding?
This is why I felt so let down. There is certainly a lot of brilliance on display in Enter the Void. It is a towering achievement on purely technical grounds. Noé does succeed in showing us things we haven't seen before, and he creates a wealth of truly novel images that have tremendous visceral power, alternately (and often simultaneously) brutalizing and surpassingly beautiful. He does evoke both physical sensation and something fairly close to what it's like to experience drastically altered states. (I love, by the way, the line of inquiry you open about film as physical experience. I recently read a post by the wonderful Jonah Lehrer about the neuroscience of film viewing that cites research suggesting that what happens in our brains as we immerse ourselves in a cinematic experience is very much like what happens when we dream; the parts of our nervous system that govern our senses are hyperactivated while our self-awareness is suppressed, enabling us to "feel" what's happening in startlingly palpable ways. Noé has amply demonstrated his capability in exploiting this sort of reaction in the past; I experienced the mirrored assault scenes in Irreversible so physically that they made me feel quite literally ill.)
But in this instance, all of this technical brilliance has been put into the service of ideas and aims that, to me, seem juvenile at best. The idea of a first-person immersive exploration of a person's consciousness is interesting only insofar as the person himself or herself is interesting. Oscar is about as far from interesting as I can imagine -- as Noé himself says, he's inconsequential, neither a loser nor a winner. I found myself thinking of Bill Cosby's classic bit about drug use in which he responds to someone's claim that drugs heighten one's personality by asking flatly, "Yes, but what if you're an asshole?"
I'll admit that my impression of this aspect of the film was further dimmed by the Q&A that followed the screening I saw, at which not only Noé but also Nathaniel Brown and Paz de la Huerta were present. I found what Noé had to say about the film dispiriting, but at least it was clear that there's a fierce intelligence at work inside his head. Brown and de la Huerta, on the other hand, were as inconsequential and petulant, respectively, as they were onscreen. I might even go so far as to say that Paz de la Huerta is possibly the single most irritating person I have ever encountered. There just isn't any there there in either of their cases, so I found it no wonder that the film itself felt pretty vapid and puerile once the thrill of the stunning visuals began to wear off.
It's not entirely fair to allow such extratextual concerns to color judgment of a film, but I saw the movie before the Q&A and had already reached essentially the same conclusion. I saw the full, 180-minute version -- a very long time to be trapped in the heads of people whose heads don't have so much of interest inside. Yes, the childhood trauma was compelling, at least from a visual and visceral standpoint; I felt the impact of that car crash and its aftermath every time Noé slammed that truck into our faces. And I work with foster kids, so god knows I don't need to be convinced of the horrible trauma inflicted upon children who get ripped away from their families at a young age. But there wasn't much about the way the characters of Oscar or Linda were written or portrayed that got at any of the important, interesting, and worthwhile areas for exploration in people who have been through what they're supposed to have experienced. And I found the film's handling of its existential and philosophical concerns, such as they were, to be similarly dull. Really, Gaspar? After all that build-up, you're going to end on what is by now the most trite and obvious representation known to cinema of the persistence of life?
But even in weighing these concerns, I can't help but feel I'm barking up the wrong tree -- that I'm getting played by Noé, who has been telling everyone who'll listen that he never gave half a shit about any of this stuff to begin with. He wanted to recreate the experience of being high, he tells us. That' s it and that's all. At the Q&A I saw, in response to an audience member's question about the Buddhist overtones of the film, Noé came right out and said they have no meaning -- that all you're seeing is Oscar's increasingly unreliable thoughts as he dies, that he's not reborn, that the only reason for the Buddhist references are that Oscar was reading the Tibetan Book of the Dead when he was shot.
Again, I don't want to let Noé's remarks outside the text of the film itself influence my opinion too much; great films need not be built upon the noblest of intentions, and certainly some great films have resulted from dubious aims. But in this case, what he said at the Q&A and in the interviews I've read subsequently only served to confirm what I already suspected: that all of the stuff of this film -- the horrific trauma of the car crash and the violent loss of Oscar and Linda's parents and the sex and the drugs and the abortion and the references to Buddhism and everything else -- were just trifles, toys, props for Noé to play around with in a film that ultimately turns out to be very much like the psychedelic experience he sought to recreate. At first it's exhilarating, wild, and new; then increasingly tiresome and tedious; and when it's finally over you feel exhausted, relieved, a little dirty, and more than a little empty -- back in the same world in which you started, having seen a few new things but gained precious little real insight into things that truly matter.
That, in my view, is a fairly egregious betrayal of the filmmaker's responsibility to his art and his audience -- though I suspect Mr. Noé would be every bit as derisive of that notion as well.
All the best,

The crustacean muscle is extremely sensitive to mechanical injury. This is due to the fact that the muscle fibres are innervated by a feltwork of nerve fibres which surrounds them. Apparéntly, there is a lack of a muscular conduction process in these muscles. Contractions have been observed in the same muscle fibres during stimulation of the axon for the fast contraction as well as during stimulation of the fibre for the slow contraction.

When All Else Fails....Worship!
There have been dark times in the past in my relationship with the Lord. Times of searching and confusion. Too many Christian living books with conflicting messages. Too many respected leaders who love the Lord yet disagree with each other. Too many interpretations and opinions. I felt lost and disillusioned and wondering what Truth is. I stopped searching for Truth as theology and found Truth as the person of Jesus...His life, His words, His character. But I digress...
In those heavy times I felt tossed about all day...tossed about in my thinking and in my emotions. I felt adrift and scared and alone. I prayed for clarity and deliverance and eyes to see Him for who He really is. I cried out for grace and mercy and to get back to a simple faith. When did it all become so hard? When did I lose my relationship with a person and replace it with lifeless religion? Why was I trying to "do Christianity" when I was called to "be" in a safe, settled relationship with Jesus?
The Lord Jesus met me there in that desolate place. And it wasn't in books or in people or even in the Word (because at this point, even the Word was a confusing place for me). He met me in worship. I would turn on Sara Groves and weep and say "yes Lord, you are real and you are my God". She put words to my heart and lifted my eyes to Jesus over and over again. I would turn on Valley of Vision and the Truth of who I am in Christ and His Grace would shine brightly on my dark heart and I would be encouraged that all is well with my soul. Because He made it well on the Cross. And I believe it.
There are many other artists (including country music singers...God uses anything to speak...Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood at times!) whose music seemed to reach into the depths of my weary heart and lifted my eyes to Christ. The Lord used music as a safe means to whisper to me, to love on me, to speak truth to me, to woo me, and I responded. I worshipped at His feet and looked at Him and all my spiritual strivings would slip away.
I found a new CD today and put in an order. Come Weary Saints looks to be another worship CD that will speak loudly of God's character and put life into perspective. I was able to listen to samples of a few of the songs and my eyes puddled immediately. Check out Sovereign Grace's other wonderful music offerings while you are there...they are powerful and I appreciate the low prices and free shipping to boot :) And do take time to go listen to some Andrew Peterson...your soul will be soothed and comforted.
Have you found music to be an intimate part of your walk with the Lord? Which artists have lifted your eyes to worship?
Share the worship wealth!
photo by now I'm always smiling

Yes we can loose our rest and release in Jesus when we become burdened by .....various elements of organised religion....
We are starting the year at a new church this year. I hope that I can be free to worship unburdened. I fear though that the problems stem from me, not my environment... - January 5, 2009 at 7:03 PM

Thank you for today post, I've been having one of those days... and it was just what I needed to hear! God is so amazing how He connects things for us - I have been focusing on "be" as my word for 2009. To "be" present in each moment and you talked about that...God is so good!

i can so relate to this, right down to Sara Groves (pretty much every album of hers, but especially 'All Right Here, and 'Conversations'), Andy Peterson and Sovereign Grace music. We have also recently really enjoyed a couple of albums from Red Mountain Music
my favorite from there so far is the Gadsby Project. I highly recommend it. here is the link:

Yes, music definitely plays a large role in worship for me. I love to sing the hymns at church and listen to it throughout the week. I love Caedmon's Call/Derek Webb. And Handel's Messiah. Also, judy rogers throughout my childhood and now with my children.
- January 5, 2009 at 9:56 PM
- kelli said...
I am right here with you, girl! Music just flows in our souls, which were created to live in worship. It has such power to teach, rebuke, soothe, and the ability to connect our minds with our hearts and our God.
I just discovered AP this year, and it has been years since an artist has called me to worship in the way which he does.
Some others I treasure...Alison Krauss, Ron Block, Legends of the Fall soundtrack, and lots of those little unsuspected treasures here and there! - January 5, 2009 at 10:31 PM
- Prairie Chick said...
oooh... goosebumps. I felt like I was living in your shadow for a moment, I could so relate to what you shared. A few favorite artists who soothe me and bring me to the throne are Steve Bell (canadian prairie guy... acoustical, very meditative and I always picture him like a modern day David), Fernando Ortega, Bebo Norman, Kathryn Scott.
- January 5, 2009 at 11:36 PM
- Pink Dogwood said...
Love the recommendations! Can't wait to check them out, thank you. Music is so powerful, isn't it? Right now I get inspired by listening to Handel's Messiah. The power in the voices as well as the words being sung are so inspiring and life giving.

Misty Edwards and Matt Redman have seen me through some very dark times. I really liked what you had to say at the beginning of this post, about hanging on to the person of Jesus rather than theology. I think I am definitely walking out of theology and hopefully straight into His arms.
- January 6, 2009 at 8:08 AM
- Elizabeth said...
I second Fernando Ortega - he's really the only one who really gets to me, and makes the songs come alive. I've tried others but to no avail.
Back in the days when I wasn't seeking Jesus I still listened to him, because his voice and music was so beautiful and soothing, and many of his songs reminded me of the way the sun hits the San Catalinas in the early morning, turning them pink in their glow, just before the sun rose enough to scorch the earth. - January 6, 2009 at 9:48 AM
- Aimee said...
Karri, great word...and profound.
Gina, THANK YOU!! I have been listening to clips this morning from the Gatsby Project and love love love it!!
Laurel, we love Caedmon's Call too (did that influence the name of your firstborn...i have always wondered that :)
Kelli, i love soundtracks too...esp. from epics.
I need to try Fernando again...I listened to him years and years ago and for some reason his music didn't hit me then like it did for others...but I am different now :) - January 6, 2009 at 10:07 AM
- P.S.He loves you.. said...
what a great blog of post..I'm now going to be cking in often..just a warning :D
Love what your sharing! - January 6, 2009 at 3:30 PM
- Linda said...
I know that in the dark times in my life I seem to get lost sort of speak..like you said..I've read different books without much guidence..guess I was looking in the wrong place. I know even when I'm am at my lowest of lows that worship music SO does it for me. It lifts me out of where I'm at. Sometime I'mm turn the radio on and it's just a clip of a song I hear and that was all I needed to hear. At other times it is a whole song. I totally love to worship. Even when I really have a hard to do it..sometimes I don't need to sing..I just need to be silent and listen and He gently lifts me out of that place. Worshipping Him brings me great joy. I love SO many different types of wosrship songs. I'll put the youtube video to one they just had playing at the end of the service on Sunday. It's really beautful! Enjoy!! & thanks for your post. I saw me in many parts of it!! It's a quiet sit still/listen/reflect kind of song. :)

yes...resting in our relationship with Him...it took a miscarriage and a severe loss to rock me out of my performance...
and be carried by Him and Him alone...
to look to Him and Him alone... - January 6, 2009 at 8:50 PM
- lucyshouse said...
I love this post because it's so true. And one of my favorites is the Add to the Beauty CD. It is my put-into-perspective go-to. ;)
There is a Snow Patrol song (Run) that I honestly feel God used to let me know he's with me.
Bebo Norman's Between the Dreaming and Coming True is amazing. - February 3, 2009 at 6:54 PM

WATER MANAGEMENTIrrigation Management and Water Conservation Preventative maintenance applies equally to your irrigation management and water conservation measures just like it does to any other complex mechanical equipment. Regular irrigation system inspections should be done monthly for optimum continued performance and prevention of problems that could be expensive. Broken heads, leaks and wasted water lead to equipment failure, misuse and waste of water resources and can cause water bills to skyrocket if left unseen and unrepaired. Water waste and conservation procedures are very important current issues in the irrigation management industry. Routine inspections of irrigation and water control systems will catch problems before they cost clients up to thousands of dollars in excessive water bills. We service hundreds of clients in the central Tennessee area and are experts at doing irrigation management and water conservation. If your business is located anywhere near the central Tennessee area from Brentwood to Bowling Green or Clarksville to Cookeville, call on Peach Tree Landscaping for regular irrigation maintenance services. We are regularly in the areas of Nashville, Franklin, Spring Hill, Manchester and Murfreesboro with our award winning landscaping teams and can easily make a stop at your business. Visit our website at http://www.peachtreeinc.comfor a complete listing of our service potential. Peach Tree teams will visit your location monthly and check the entire irrigation system for problems. In winter and spring they can also do your cold weather winterization and spring start up service. Leaks are never good even if they are outdoors. When you are pumping water it should go where you want it to go and not pay for wasted water resources. Irrigation systems experience heavy duty use and that is another reason for doing regular service maintenance on your system. Clients in Gallatin, Henderson, and Spring Hill are enjoying the peace of mind that regular maintenance of expensive irrigation systems brings. This type of service is best done by our professionals who know just what to look for and how to make needed repairs. Cut service costs to a minimum by having regular maintenance done monthly and catch problems before they become systemic and expensive. Call Peach Tree Landscaping today or get in touch with us through our website contact link. Landscaping requires more than a sprinkler and push mower to keep a business in top condition. We have the equipment and the professional staff to do your job efficiently and properly, every time. If you are cutting costs, be sure that a Peach Tree Landscaping crew is doing the cutting for you! Peach Tree serves all of central Tennessee with superior landscaping services. We can come in on the ground floor when you purchase property, work with you for years, or salvage a disaster in progress on property recently purchased. Good looking landscaping makes good sense and saves you money in the long run. It is an investment that will grow even more beautiful over the years you own your property and aid conservation efforts at the same time. |

A report from pgCon 2013
Little things that matter in language design
One of the great advantages of multiprocessor computers is the fact that main memory is available to all processors on the system.
That's like saying one of the great advantages of a lamp is that it illuminates things. It's not just a great advantage, it's the definition. What would make a system in which the various processors have separate memory a multiprocessor system?
1) It's simply stupid to write software that assumes this as it won't scale to distributed systems.
It sounds like you're saying it's stupid to write software for multiprocessor systems because then it would be software for multiprocessor systems.
I'm actually a foe of multiprocessor systems. My experience makes me believe processors separated by TCP/IP, FCP, etc. links are more profitable for most things. But I can definitely see the advantages of SMP.
Better per-CPU variables

I think ms was talking about NUMA architectures.
Everything ms says, and everything the article says, is applicable to to all multiprocessor systems, NUMA and non-NUMA alike. They all have shared memory and they all have difficulty because of that.
NUMA shares memory in a way that strikes a different balance between the difficulties and the advantages of shared memory than other multiprocessor systems, but it remains a defining characteristic, not just an incidental feature, of multiprocessor systems that they have shared memory.

Step 1: Prepare your bike frame
Clean this area of your bike and remove any bits of tape or things that might get in the way of your hack and put them to one side.
We also made one for Jane's lovely old blue bike :)
Really fun project. Thanks for the inspiration. Photos coming soon.
I am confident with the panel, it are well made and mounted onto the bike.
The triangle part of the frame it is set in is small and very strong which increases the strength of the panel.
I think it would survive many crashes.
Hope this helps...
(amazing idea eh?)
Perhaps you could integrate the "plastic and ugly", yet functional light into the design somehow?
In the UK, you are only allowed a red light at the back and a white light at the front of a vehicle (plus indicators, reverse lights etc.) however there is nothing saying that there can't be an unilluminated frame for a British Standards Institute approved light.

You plug in your old Nintendo one day to play some Zelda. Shuffling through the cartridges, you see Tetris and decide to play a quick game. Levels 1-50 are easy. Then comes the 70's and 80's, which heighten your senses. And unless you're a phenom, the triple digits require intense focus.
Each block is calculated into an open area in advanced. All goes well until the block in queue doesn't quite fit perfectly anywhere.
Hell breaks loose.
The blocks come too fast. You can't recover. They're no longer perfectly placed in open sockets; they're placed wherever they can to prolong the match. And before you have a chance to fix things, game over.
With the amount of information avenues out there today, it's easy to get paralyzed. It comes so fast, it's hard to organize. But don't feel bad. This isn't your fault.
It's mine.
(And it's a lot of other bloggers faults, too.)
Your success is in my best interest. I blog and write to give direction to those in need. So the goal is to provide the set of eyes scanning this page with something to take home.
Top "X" lists are one of the worst ways to do this.
Draeger's Market is an upscale shopping center that sells everything from cheesecake to flowers to wine to cooking classes. Let's just say you have to live a comfortable life to shop there, and shelling out a few extra bucks isn't a bank breaker.
Two consecutive Saturday's, a booth was set up that handed out free samples of jam. One Saturday, six jams were available. The other, twenty-four.
When the twenty-four jams were on display, the booth drew a bigger crowd by 20%. More selection is appealing, of course. But the Saturday six jams were available, 600% more sales were made. Maybe less is more?
Top "X" posts are rampant for three reasons. First, they're easy to write. Second, they get the most hits. Third, they're easy to digest.
But big lists make it less likely for a reader to take action. And isn't that what it's all about?
Imagine reading two posts about the best muscle building exercises. Say the first one was: Top 50 Exercises to Build Muscle. Certainly appealing. Hell, I'd click the link. But after reading it, I'd forget the content in a matter of minutes. You would too.
Compare that to a "Top 3 Exercises to Build Muscle" post that went into great detail on the three exercises and really boulstered their effectiveness. You would be more likely to incorporate one—if not all—of the exercises.
It's just like Tetris. Too much too soon makes it difficult to compartmentalize and fathom, so it gets lost. Game over.
We live in a fantastic world. Information is instantly accessible. Questions rarely go unanswered. But there's a problem: we don't know what to do with all of the information. We know how to store it. But we just don't know the next step. This is one of the reasons I err on more of the lifestyle design aspects of fitness and athletics—which ties into my concept of athletic physical culture and athletic lifestyle design.
Based upon the answers to the questions asked after last week's blog post, most people don't suffer from a lack of knowledge. They suffer from a lack of implementation and self-doubt.
This isn't surprising to me. And here's why: I haven't "truly" read a fitness or athletics book since 2009. Yet since 2009, I've made my best training progress. (And that includes a six month period of not training because of a broken foot.)
When I launched the Skinny-Fat Ectomorph series, my first article wasn't about training or nutrition. It was about lifestyle.
With a lot of my clients, my job isn't training or coaching. It's talking them through tough times and giving them faith that they're on the right path. That's why I call it a mentorship. Honestly, I get paid for what I exclude from a program more so than what I include.
I want everyone to reach their athletic and fitness pinnacle, which is why I don't often make list posts. It's wasted information. But I don't anticipate a wave of change anytime soon, so here are some tips for assimilating information online in a way best suited to your long term progress.
First, disregard high numbered list posts. You can read them, sure. But you aren't likely to remember or take anything away. If you're hunkering for ice cream and the store only sells two flavors, your decision is much easier when compared to a selection of fifty flavors.
Second, have a why. Everything in your program — including the program itself — should have a purpose. And everything should relate back to it.
Third, create a "for later" folder. If you come across compelling information that might distract you from your current program, put it in the "for later" folder and read it when you're grounded and less likely to waiver in your programming conviction.
I want to get my shape on, so I create a program with the basics — some lifting, some aerobic work, and some hiking on the weekends. One day, I happen to be browsing the internet for weight loss tips. Conveniently, I stumble upon Shape and their Top 50 Fun Ways to Lose Weight This Spring.
I get about ten slides in before I realize I'm clicking arrows with minimal mental egagement, but I keep going anyway. After I finish the vibrant slide show, I can't even recall five of the top fifty. Wonderful. But the good news is that it didn't motivate me to program hop or lose focus.
The next website I come across, however, is from this dude named Anthony Mychal. He has those post entitled The Infamous Clean Bulk – How to Gain Muscle Without Looking Like A Poster Boy for Krispy Kreme. But if I read it, it might make me question my foundation. I'll put it in my "for later" folder and wait a few weeks to read it. That way, if I'm already seeing some progress I'll be less likely to make impulsive changes.
So what do you think? Do you suffer from under-knowledge or under-application? Do you feel like you're on the 150th level of Tetris? What's the highest level of Tetris you ever made it to? What's your favorite ice cream flavor? What do you struggle with when it comes to the implementation and mentality aspect of training? As usual, I'd love to hear from you.
Oh, one more thing — what phrase do you like better in regards to something that encompasses this website: athletic physical culture or athletic lifestyle design?
PS – I know you're upset that this wasn't a Top 10 Post. You were looking for an easy read, weren't you?

NICOLLET COUNTY - Monday night's hail storm hit much of Nicollet County, according to University of Minnesota Agriculture Production Systems Educator Christian Lillienthal.
"Most producers will see some level of hail damage," Lillienthal added. "There was 100 percent crop loss in some areas around Lafayette and near the Rush River, along the Nicollet and Sibley County line."
Lillienthal said the hail shredded corn stalks and knocked leaves off some trees.

Staff photo by Fritz Busch
Hail and high winds damaged this corn field several miles south of Lafayette, near Highway 15 Monday night.
An emergency meeting featuring University of Minnesota state corn and soybean specialists, a Sibley County crop specialist, and Lillienthal begins at 2 p.m. Thursday, in the Lafayette Community Center.
After the meeting in Lafayette, the public is invited to further discuss the hail storm at the nearby United Farmers Co-op (UFC) test plot that suffered hail damage.
Lillienthal said .85 of an inch of rain was measured in Arlington. Other sites reported 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch of rain.
South Central College Agriculture Instructor Wayne Schoper said significant hail damage was reported near Redwood Falls, Morgan, Franklin, Fairfax and Lafayette. An empty grain bin blew off its foundation in Eden Township, northwest of Sleepy Eye.

Morning Meanderings… Welcome to my own personal OZ
Good morning! It has been one crazy weekend and my online presence has been minimal. Having a laptop would have been…..
From Thursday to Sunday afternoon I put 800 miles on my Jeep between the North Shore and the Gunflint Trail…
Then on Sunday I took off the other direction from my home and went to The Cities to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds where I participated with friends and my son, in the Color Run…
And shortly after…
In other news, our book club last week chose out October Classic to be The Wizard Of Oz, so I was uber thrilled to find out that they are making a prequel to The Wizard Of Oz. Have you heard this? I am soooo excited. Here is the trailer:
I have to go get ready, I have some finishing touches to put on a post for later today and I have a 12 hour meeting today – I kid you not. 12 hours. I will be home around 9 pm tonight.
Posted on July 17, 2012, in Meanderings and tagged Morning Meanderings. Bookmark the permalink. 25 Comments.
I just saw the Oz trailer yesterday – looks interesting! And glad you're having time with your boys.
I love the messiness of that run! Awesome.
Oh holy wow!!! I have to see that! Glad you had a great weekend and hope your meeting goes well!
Thanks for such an awesome post!
sounds like you had a great time
That color run looks like somuch fun!! I can't wait! February here I come!
I just listened to Inkheart and I started the whole Outlander series over from the beginning, again. I listened to the Wizard of Oz recently too and didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I am still somewhat regreting my decision not to do the Philly Color Run, it looks like you and your son had a really fun time! Have a great week!

The Story of Haleo - the Voice of Life, celebrates the history of the ahupua'a (land divisions) called Keauhou, and the heart of those who came from this land area. From the birth of Kamehameha III to the surfing stories of He'eia Bay, the dancers and musicians of Island Breeze take you on a journey through a very special time in Hawaii's history.

We take you on a colorful and entertaining journey through history, sharing the stories of our Polynesian cousins and the gifts they brought to Hawaii through their language, culture, music and dance. You will have the opportunity to meet the dancers before the show, to "talk story" and learn more about the language and culture of Hawai'i. Live dinner music serenades guests as they enjoy a delicious feast. And, just as the suns is setting over Keauhou Bay - Haleo begins.

It's not often that a student can cut his or her commute when moving from high school to university, but Squamish resident Kayley Verbeek has accomplished just that.
The 2012 Howe Sound Secondary School (HSSS) grad is blocks away from her new home at Quest University and is also hoping to make an impact on the hardwood as the first-ever local to be a part of a Kermodes basketball team.
Verbeek said she's already loving her experience at Quest a month in.
"I love the school. It's so fantastic up there," she said. "All my other friends are complaining about mid-terms but we don't really have those. I really like the block system and we have really small classes and discussions with our teachers all the time. You really feel like you're involved in the class."
But it was Verbeek's skills on the basketball court that caught Quest's attention last year. Kermodes head coach Dany Charlery said he and former head coach Mike Woollard were impressed by Verbeek after checking out the local talent at HSSS.
"After we went down to Howe Sound one thing led to another and she came up and practiced with us a few times," he said. "Then Mike offered her a redshirt position for this year, which I thought was pretty cool. It's good to have someone local on the team."
Charlery said Verbeek has fit in well on the team.
"She's actually coming along great," he said. "I think eventually she's going to be a great shooter for us and help us spread the floor. She still needs to get stronger but she's got a really nice shot and has a great attitude."
Verbeek starred on the HSSS senior girls team last year but said she's eager to learn more about the game.
"The level of skill is such a large jump from high school," she said. "And our basketball program at HSSS isn't that big. Red shirting for a year won't be that bad because I think there's a lot for me to learn."
She said she's already learned a lot from both Charlery and assistant coach Kim Land.
"I love Dany — he's awesome," she said. "He's definitely knowledgeable about the game and Kim has been a big help too. Everybody loves both of them but they push us too, it's not all fun."
The Kermodes are looking to advance to the playoffs for the second straight year and Verbeek said she likes the team's chances.
"We're not gigantic but we have some big, strong girls with a lot of speed," she said. "We're really well conditioned and our defence is really good — that's what we focus on a lot."
Verbeek said the team wants to get more involved in the community and, in turn, would love to see more locals check out Quest games.
"I really want people to come out and watch us," she said. "I'd like us to get a bigger fan base because these girls are such good players and the games are fun to watch."
For more information on the team, visit www.questkermodes.ca.
Kermodes win two
The women's team hit the floor for the annual Blues Classic at Capilano University recently, posting some impressive results.
The Kermodes kicked off the tournament on Oct. 5, downing the host team 51-44 and followed that with a 95-89 triple-overtime win over St. Clair College from Windsor, Ont., on Oct. 6. Quest ended off the tournament with a 55-46 loss to Douglas College on Oct. 7.
Charlery said he was pleased with the team's efforts.
"We went in there and fought and battled hard," he said. "And when we had chances to put teams away, we did."
He pointed to the triple-overtime win on Saturday as one that stood out.
"That was a pretty intense one," he said. "I was happy with the girls' effort and how they stayed calm. I was impressed with everyone but especially our rookies, because we had three starters who didn't play in the fourth quarter and overtime because of foul troubles and injuries. I'm really proud of them."
The team continued the preseason on Saturday (Oct. 13) with a 60-41 over North West Indian College.
The men's team was also in action on Friday (Oct. 12) with the annual Alumni Game. The current Kermodes defeated the alumni 97-71 and were led by Brodan Robertson with 16 points and six rebounds. Charlery, playing on the alumni team, led all players with 35 points.
Both the men's and women's teams will continue their exhibition schedule before the start of the Pacwest regular season in the middle of November.

The Criterion Collection Announce August 2012 Blu-ray Slate Including The Royal TenenbaumsMay 15, 2012During the summer months, theaters are often full of blockbusters and "popcorn" films; movies meant to make one turn off their brain and forget the world around them and its troubles. Much like they do all year long, the folks at The Criterion Collection have a multitude of summer Blu-ray offerings during the months of July and August that demand one's brain be "on" and fully aware and ready for thoughts, ideas, and discussion.
In July, Criterion is releasing four Blu-ray titles, three of which are upgrades of previously released DVDs in the collection. Leading off these upgrades is Jim Jarmusch's sophomore directorial effort Down By Law, a 1986 noir-ish comedy starring Tom Waits. The other two upgrades come from director Whit Stillman; 1990's Metropolitan and 1998's The Last Days of Disco. Both films look take a look at various aspects of Manhattan life with a dry humor and wit that Stillman made his own. The last and latest addition to the collection in July is director Aki Kurismaki's Le Havre. The film follows an optimistic shoe shiner who befriends a young African refugee and attempts to prevent his deportation. This film was released theatrically in 2011, making it one of the newest films to become a part of Criterion's "continuing series of important classic and contemporary films". Moving on to August, it's almost a complete reverse as Criterion brings five new additions to the collection and only one upgrade. August begins with two releases from the acclaimed directors (and brothers) Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne; Rosetta and La Promesse. Both films are intense, but varying looks at economic hardships through the lens of two of the world's most gripping filmmakers. Just as July before it, August also sees another film released in 2011, Weekend. The first film from writer/director/editor Andrew Haigh, Weekend takes a candid honest look at love and sexuality. On the opposite end of the timeline comes Lonesome, an almost silent film from 1928, directed by Paul Fejos; a true auteur credited with bridging the gap between the silent and talkie eras. The release also contains two more of Fejos' films, The Last Performance and a reconstruction of his musical Broadway. Rounding out the new additions August is Quadrophenia, a coming-of-age rock & roll opera from The Who. Fans of the band will be happy to hear there is a new 5.1 audio mix for the film, as well as a wealth of new supplements made just for this release. The one and only upgrade is one that many have been clamoring for, myself included, Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums. A witty, acerbic look at one of the most gifted and eccentric families that never was. A tale of acceptance and redemption, it's considered by many to be Anderson's best work. All of the July and August films fall under Criterion's standard MSRP of $39.95. Listed below are all artwork, release dates and supplemental materials found on each release. Down By Law (Release Date: July 17, 2012) Pre-order at Amazon.com for $27.99

A fired employee was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of killing a man believed to be the owner of a Lennox bondage club and setting the business on fire, authorities said.
David Edward Albert, 53, lost his job at the Passive Arts Studios at 10914 S. La Cienega Blvd. about a week earlier, deputies said.
Firefighters found the body of a man in his 50s shortly after dousing a fire that gutted the business. Although the victim was not immediately identified, he was believed to be the owner.
Business records show the owner's name as John Cavine.
Deputies detained Albert when they found him hiding in bushes outside the bondage club. He was injured and bloody, but told deputies and workers at neighboring businesses that he was hit by a car as he ran to help.
"The helper guy was across the street," said Scott Hamilton, whose business Hamilton Prototypes shares a wall with the bondage club. "He split because the smoke was so
Investigators, however, said it did not appear that he was hit by a car.
Firefighters responded at 11:35 a.m. when employees at neighboring businesses in the industrial area saw smoke about 11:35 a.m. spewing from two side roll-up doors.
"Just as I was getting to the front door, the sheriffs pulled up rather anxiously and said `Get out of the building. The place next door is on fire,"' Hamilton said. "It was pretty dense smoke. The Fire Department was there very swift."
Firefighters doused the blaze in 20 minutes, finding the charred bodies of a man and a dog.
According to Passive Arts Studio's MySpace page, its 7,000 square-foot warehouse in Lennox has "become the largest, most elegant and best equipped play area in the nation."
The club caters to people interested in sexual fetishes involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission.
"We are a playground for adults interested in exploring their more complex sides," the club advertises on its Facebook page.
The club includes seven dungeons and theme rooms - a classroom, an office, an interrogation room, a torture chamber - along with a bar and a dance area.
"Sessions from one half hour to overnight and beyond!" the Facebook page advertises.
The Passive Arts Studios MySpace page features numerous photographs of rooms that contain cages, chains and other restrictive devices used for role-playing inside the club.
Some photographs in the club's "friends" section show women wearing leather dominatrix outfits.
"John (the founder of Passive Arts) has often said that Passive Arts is like an adult Disneyland in that it will never be completed," the site says. "Many, many years ago, John once said that Passive Arts is the place where all your fantasies can come true and that is more true now than ever before."
The site said the club has been featured in numerous television programs on networks ranging from Playboy to the History Channel.
Hamilton said he sometimes "would hear screaming and spanking and all that kind of stuff" coming through his neighbor's wall.
About two weeks ago, five sheriff's deputies were called to a disturbance there, Hamilton said.
"There was some argument or something going on," Hamilton said.
Hamilton called the owner a "nice guy" and said his dog was a real wolf.
On the business' MySpace page, one man expressed condolences in the comments section.
"Sorry to hear about your loss," he said. "I was at the Revlon red show Valentines Day 2009. Had a great time."

My family is to move to Nanaimo from the midwest. We start to sell things and have garage sales. But still lots to go with us. We think of using a mover (van lines). My gues is it must be much more expensive to get things to the island, than just to Vancouver, as crossing the strait by ferry.
Anybody has the experience using mover?
