"Hello Good Friends"…Wynn Speece, WNAX Neighbor Lady Passes Away at 90 Radio pioneer Wynn Speece, known for more than six decades as "The Neighbor Lady," died Monday, October 22, 2007 at a Yankton hospital at the age of 90.
As "The Neighbor Lady," Speece shared recipes, household tips and personal anecdotes with radio listeners.
Speece, a Marshalltown, Iowa, native, started WNAX in 1939. Her program started two years later and continued until December 2005.
In 64 years of broadcasting, Speece was welcomed into the homes of homemakers and farm wives throughout the five-state area covered by WNAX. She offered helpful household hints, and her signature was the recipes she shared with her listeners.
Through the years, Speece has made numerous personal appearances, written a number of cookbooks and become a household icon in the area.
Speece began working at WNAX shortly after graduating from Drake University with a degree in theater.
"I was hired not as an air person but I did book work for two years," she said in a 2005 interview. "I think they used those two years to check on me, and then in 1941, they asked me to do a show about recipes and decided to call me the Neighbor Lady."
In the 2005 interview, Speece said her career was more of a joy than a job because of those who listened to her show.
"It was one of those lifetime things that was so satisfying and such a pleasure to do," she said. "I reached out to so many different people and made a lot of personal contacts. I went to different organizations and talked with people throughout the five-state area. It was very satisfying work through all the years."

A Poem for Wynn
So long to you Wynn Speece
For you are finally at peace.
Your voice was so bright and merry
As you delighted listeners across the prairie.
For 60 years you provided such keen advice
From home cleaning to recipes for baked rice.
For tasty dishes we knew where to look
It was always in the Neighbor Lady Cook Book!
Neighbor Lady, you were quite the person
One of the best at WNAX radio in Yankton.
From Minot to Cedar Falls-Waterloo
From Scottsbluff to Lake Superior's Blue.
The Midwest is going to miss you.
With heavy hearts and as we look towards heaven's big sky
We say Wynn Speece, God Bless You, Thanks and Good Bye.

Memories: Growing up the 'neighbor lady' was special as she offered a calm time in a stress filled home. I cannot find the words to express my thoughts, simply to say God bless Wynn, thou faithful servant, come home to rest. Blessed be her memory.
Name: Scott P. Allan
City: Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Memories: I was very fortunate to have been an actual neighbor to Your Neighbor Lady. Our family lived right across the street form the Speece family. I can remember when I was 4,5, and 6 years old and going over to the Speece front porch and standing there and looking in their living room window watching Wynn broadcast her radio show. I remember once in awhile she would invite us neighborhood kids in and we would get to say hi over the air on WNAX. Wynn is a Yankton Legend and she will be missed greatly, but I have very found memories of the Speece Family. Thank you WNAX for your insight many years ago to give Wynn Speece her Neighbor Lady Show.

City: Hudson, SD
Memories: Grandma listened, Mom listened and all my aunts listened to Wynn every weekday during my growing up years. When we moved to Yankton thirty-three years ago I met Harry at a coffee shop and my wife met Wynn at an exercise place where my wife kept the books. We felt like we knew celebrities but they were as common and friendly as could be. Wynn and Harry were a perfect match. Nobody had bigger more caring hearts then the two of them.

Memories: "The Neighbor Lady," Wynn Speece, never lived within 100 miles of my house in Volga but she showed up every day anyway …on the radio.. and was a constant companion to my mom and thousands of other homemakers and farm wives. "Hello good friends" was her on-air greeting for 64 years as she opened a program filled with helpful household hints, stories about her family, recipes, listener letters and commercials that she would read live. Advertisers would line-up trying to get on her show because products endorsed by "The Neighbor Lady" sold like hotcakes… hotcakes made from "Martha Gooch" flour, of course. She first signed-on the air in 1941 over WNAX radio in Yankton which had one of the most powerful signals in the world reaching into at least five states. During the forties and fifties, The Neighbor Lady's audience numbered into the hundreds of thousands…mostly women listening as they went about their household chores. The program was such a big hit that the radio station had people whose only job was to open and answer bags and bags of mail which averaged a quarter million letters a year. During an interview for Keloland News years ago, I asked The Neighbor Lady about her amazing popularity. "Back then," she said, mine would often be the only woman's voice many of these ladies would hear all day…especially during the winter." It was that same sweet gentle voice that was so comforting and reassuring to those whose husbands or sons were off fighting in the war. When I was little I just remember her as the nice lady on the radio every morning; a white plastic Philco radio that sat on the kitchen cabinet next to a drawer filled with Neighbor Lady recipes. When Wynn Speece made personal appearances, huge crowds would turn out to see her demonstrate kitchen appliances, prepare a favorite hot dish or dessert or sign a copy of the annual WNAX Neighbor Lady cookbook. But mostly, people just wanted to see her…the woman behind the voice. She was a big star… and even though it wasn't shining as brightly by the mid 80's when we did our interview, I was awe-struck. After saying how great it was to meet her, Wynn said she and her husband, Harry, were longtime fans of Keloland and never missed watching Steve and ME on the news. How about that? We've had lots of good visits in the years since. I just loved hearing about her lifetime of experiences on the radio. She was an icon to so many and as genuine as the love she had for Harry who passed away a couple years ago. Now we must talk about the Neighbor Lady in the past tense too. Even though she lived until the age of 90, it's hard for those of us who knew and admired her, personally and professionally, to say… "Goodbye good friend."

City: Fulton SD
Memories: One of the highlights of the Christmas season, for me, was coming home from school, and hearing Wynn's Christmas show…I think it was called "Happy Holidays," and it defined the holidays of my childhood as much as church activities did. If WNAX had copies of Wynn's holiday broadcasts available the way some radio shows are, I'd buy them. Rest in peace, Neighbor Lady.
Name: Sue Kaiser
City: Kadoka, SD
Memories: Sad to hear of the death of Wynn Speece. I am 58 years old and grew up listening to WNAX. We lived east of Pierre and think that was the only radio station we could get. My Mother and Grandmother always listened to her program. I can remember both of them listening closely to everything she said and with pen in hand writing down a recipe as she read it on the air. My Grandmother gave me her collection of "Neighbor Lady" books, which I treasure. I remember spending time when I was little looking at all the pictures in the recipe books – her kids were close to my age. Thanks WNAX and "The Neighbor Lady" for lots of good memories!! (Other memories of WNAX were of Dad and us kids laying on the floor in front of the radio, I believe on Sat night, listening to "Gunsmoke" !!)

City: Two Rivers, WI
Memories: As I was growing up in South Dakota, I remember my mother listening to the Neighbor Lady on the radio. Everything then was made from "scratch" and was so delicious. My mother gave my sister and I Neighbor Lady cookbooks for Christmas presents. I still have the 1953 through 1957 and 1971 (3oth edition) cookbooks. Please pass on my sympathy to her family.
Name: CLARKE SANDERS

Memories: One of my most lasting memories of my time at WNAX will be working with Wynn Speece and playing tennis with her husband Harry. You will not find finer people than Wynn and Harry. As a broadcaster, I was especially impressed with Wynn's ability to do a commercial. Anybody whose life was touched by her or Harry was a better person for it.
Name: Evelyn McCarty
City: Lincoln, Nebraska
Memories: Growing up in Northeast Nebr. I remember listening to Wynn Speece and her chatty, friendly manner of presenting her programs. I had the opportunity to meet Wynn a few years ago in Yankton. We had a wonderful conversation and while discussing a book I recenty read she said she would love to read that book. I sent the book to her and in a few weeks she returned it with a note of thanks. Such a gracious lady and how fortunate we were to have her in our homes for so many years. She truly was our neighbor lady.

It's that time again! Director Cameron McCasland has unveiled his latest PSAs for the Go Green With Dr. Gangrene campaign. What may seem like a small accomplishment, has actually turned into a successful franchise for Cameron McCasland, Larry Underwood (playing Dr. Gangrene) and everyone else involved. The PSAs have earned two Emmy Nominations, as well as Dr. Gangrene's own horror hosting show and the very first Dr. Gangrene movie which just came out on DVD called The Dreadful Hallowgreen Special. In this article you will be able to read the press release for the PSAs and you can view all the shorts. Click here to view a video on youtube of all three PSAs, titled Wolfbite, Creature Cooler, and Heating Up. On the channel, you can view the PSAs individually and the PSAs from previous years. The shorts also feature Stacey Dixon who stars in the upcoming horror film, The Lashman (one of Mr. McCasland's other projects). Scroll down to read the press release which contains more information.
"The "Go Green With Dr. Gangrene" has returned for it's fourth turn with three new public service short films that feature classic movie monsters roaming the streets of Nashville, TN, while resident horror host Dr. Gangrene spreads the word on keeping Music City Clean.
"Go Green With Dr. Gangrene" is a continuing collaboration between Nashville Horror Host Dr. Gangrene (portrayed by Larry Underwood) and film maker Cameron McCasland. The series now in its fourth year has received praise nationally as well as from officials in the State capitol of Tennessee. The shorts have received multiple awards and citations including two Emmy nominations, and a special humanitarian award from the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards.
McCasland said of the shorts, "It has been a lot of fun being able to play in the realms of Monsters for the past four years. I am constantly amazed at the outpouring of affection for the Go Green With Dr. Gangrene series. And I love the idea of helping to save the planet with rubber masks and mad science."
The three new shorts entitled, "Wolfbite", "Creature Cooler", and "Heating Up" provide tips on conserving the planet by cutting down on excessive waste, littering, and keeping tabs on pets. All three were filmed in and around Nashville landmarks, and are shot in glorious black & white as a loving nod to the classic monster films of yesteryear.
"Using classic monsters to spread environmental and safety issues is a blast," Larry said, "and I love seeing these PSAs on the air Saturday mornings during kids programming. Monsters in the morning is becoming a Nashville tradition!"
The Public Service shorts will air on the home of Dr. Gangrenes Creature Feature, WNAB CW58 in Nashville. They will simultaneously be screened via drgangrene.com and the Dr. Gangrene Youtube channel youtube.com/drgangrene.
The previous Go Green shorts were recently made available as a special feature on The Dreadful Hallowgreen Special DVD released by Alpha Video. The Dreadful Hallowgreen Special features horror hosts Penny Dreadful, and Dr. Gangrene teaming up to save Halloween. The made for television movie was co-directed by Cameron McCasland and Rebecca Paiva.
Larry Underwood is an award winning writer and television producer. Outside of his role of Dr. Gangrene , he writes a regular column for Scary Monsters Magazine and daily musings in his Tales From The Lab Blog at DrGangrene.com
Cameron McCasland is an Emmy nominated film maker from Edgewood Texas who has called Nashville home since 2001. His work has been seen on MTV, CMT, and film festivals around the globe. His upcoming feature film "The Lashman" is due out later this year.

Good as gold (1892-1896)
Grover Cleveland recaptured the White House in the 1892 election, but his second term was wrecked by economic depression. Perhaps 20 percent of the industrial labor force was unemployed during the winter of 1893-94. Problems did not melt away with the coming of spring. Farmers also suffered greatly, as commodity prices decreased and foreclosures soared. Politicians made appeals to inflate the currency by having the federal government abandon the gold standard, adopt an inflationary "bimetal" silver and gold standard, and then decree that silver was worth almost twice as much as it had been. This would make farm debts, payable in gold, decrease in real value.
Cleveland did not want government fiat to create economic winners or losers. He argued that abandonment of the gold standard would impair confidence in the currency and further disrupt business. Above all, however, for Cleveland a contract was a contract: Those who borrowed money were morally bound to pay it back in real value, and those who saved it should reap benefits. In 1894 he vetoed a bill that would have expanded silver coinage and led to "the cheapening of the dollar."
The battle intensified in 1895 as Cleveland attacked critics of the gold standard, insisting that inflation would injure "the poor, as they reckon the loss in their scanty support, and the laborer or workingman, as he sees the money he has received for his toil shrink and shrivel in his hand when he tenders it for the necessities to supply the humble home." Pro-inflation leaders shot back with personal attacks. Senator "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman in January, 1896, called Cleveland a "besotted tyrant" who was "self-idolatrous ... an arrogant and obstinate ruler." Tillman promised to stick his pitchfork into Cleveland's "fat ribs."
Support for Cleveland within the Democratic Party plummeted, as proponents of quick fixes gained popularity. The Democrats endorsed a silver standard and looked to inflate the size of the federal government. One of their leaders, the silver-tongued silver advocate William Jennings Bryan, excited the 20,000 people who gathered in Chicago for the 1896 Democratic convention. His penetrating voice reached throughout the hall, without the aid of a microphone. The excitement was greatest when Bryan, calling "the moneyed interests" latter-day Pontius Pilates, employed strong Christian symbolism: "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold."
Awed journalists searched their minds for glowing descriptive expressions. Mark Sullivan described how Bryan's speech "brought tears to the eyes of men and caused women in the gallery to become hysterical." Charles Warren described what happened after the speech: "There was a pause. Then occurred a wild and hysterical uprising; waves of deafening cheers and yells swept from end to end of the building and back again, unceasing in their tumult." Harry Peck also wrote of "tumult like that of a great sea thundering against the dikes. Twenty thousand men and women went mad with the irresistible enthusiasm." One senator simply said, "Glorious."
Bryan, whom Cleveland termed a "demagogue and insolent crusader," received the nomination. He was crushed in the general election by the Republican candidate, William McKinley.

FDIC Asks to Temporarily Increase Deposit Limits
Posted By Jim On 09/30/2008 @ 5:19 pm In Banking | 3 Comments
FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair has requested that Congress give her agency the authority to raise the $100,000 FDIC insurance limit to some unspecified amount, to be determined by Congress. In 2005, Congress voted to peg that $100,000 limit to inflation but that doesn't kick in until 2011. Until then the limit stays at $100,000.
Will insurance premiums be raised? I'm not a banking expert or an insurance expert, but I know that if the protection limit is raised then there's going to be greater pressure on the coffers of the FDIC if and when banks fail. The FDIC doesn't need that, it's under enough pressure. Unless premiums are increased, you're putting a greater burden on the shoulder of taxpayers.
Who does this benefit? In all honesty, I think it benefits no one unless FDIC insurance coverage premiums are increased. With the very public failures of WaMu and Wachovia and IndyMac, the average person who reads the newspaper or watches the television is acutely aware of the FDIC limit and likely has been spurred to action. Fortunately for many of those who bank at those institutions, your money was protected even beyond the FDIC limits. (if you haven't moved your funds around so that you're under the $100k limit, what are you waiting for? Don't be like this woman who lost $20k [3])
For the very wealthy, I assume they have financial advisers who handle all this complicated banking stuff and have them spread across as many banks as they need to be to stay underneath the limit. Raising the limit really doesn't have an appreciable effect for the consumer (it might reduce the amount of paperwork as the rich will need fewer accounts!).
But then again, personal finance is more about psychology [4] than it is about the math. If this move settles some people's minds, then it's a Good Thing.

Businesses that emerged as sector leaders from the last recession typically had an average net debt-to-equity ratio of about half of their less successful competitors before the downturn hit. Successful businesses also held significantly more cash on their balance sheet than their less fortunate competitors.
Businesses that do not manage cash as a priority ultimately may not be able to pay their liabilities and consequently risk being forced into an insolvency process. Managing cash should be an every day priority, and in a downturn, we would also suggest bearing in mind the following:

ROSWELL, GA -- It's the latest in community policing. Citizens are able to monitor crime in their neighborhood on their cell phone or computer. More and more cities in Georgia are providing real crime states as a way to keep people safe and reduce crime.
The City of Roswell's Police Department is the latest to jump on the latest technology. Citizens of Roswell can find out instantaneously what crimes happened where they live or where they are.
A number of Georgia cities are offering citizens the ability to track crime in their community through web sites like crimereports.com. All you do is log onto the website, find your city, and put in an address. You will find out what crimes happened near that address within the past 30 days.
"It keeps people abreast of what's going on in their city and also helps us because the people are out there and they see where crime is happening, they tend to be more aware," said Roswell Police Lt. James McGee.
There is also a free iPhone application that offers the same timely ability to keep informed. The application uses the cell phones GPS to tell you what crimes happened right around where you're standing.
Roswell resident John Carney said he will use the website and phone application. "I've seen similar applications that are like that and you know that's really good information that you can have when you want to find out what's going on," he said.
Alpharetta, Dunwoody and Sandy Springs are also on Crime Alerts. Johns Creek and Milton are expected to sign up in the future. "We like to say community policing has gone high-tech now, said Lt. McGee.

It gives us much satisfaction to know that "S" still lives, all rumors
to the contrary notwithstanding. When we penned that article, we did not suppose
we were criticising the project of a sick man, having never, knowingly, courted
a fencing match with any person unable to return the blow. At this time "S"
had been spending some few weeks on the old Colony Coast, hunting out inquiries
all the way from Plymouth Rock to Martha's Vineyard. Our supposition was that
he would come back to Deerfield, rejuvenated by sea breezes and antiquity, and
would sail into the Monument contest with all the vim of a Roman gladiator.
Unfortunately; our friend came back seriously unwell, but is now much better,
and has already buried "Pocumtuck," and proposes, still further, to
write a series of articles upon monuments, beginning, we presume, with
the tower of Babel, and ending with the one in the old Deerfield graveyard which
was "gratuitously" erected by "Uncle Sid." When
our friend can prove that it is necessary for a cow to have two tails, he may
perhaps convince us that another monument for the fathers of the town
is necessary. We have already a monument which covers the entire subject, and
"S." will find it so if he will look at the west side of the Soldiers'
Monument. Three sides are devoted to the young men who fell during the rebellion,
and the west side to the fathers of the town. It seems, by this, that "Pocumtuck"
is not the only man who has defective eyesight. Our eyesight was defective because
we made use of a symbolic word, and chose to say granite soldier instead
of red sandstone soldier. Perhaps making use of red sandstone would
have improved the soldier and the sentence, and also the reputation of "Pocumtuck's"
eyes. But where have our neighbor's eyes been during all this time that he has
failed to see that west side inscription, as follows:
"This Monument stands upon the old meeting house hill, and is within the
limits of the Old Fort, built A. D., 1689, and which remained until A. D., 1758,
and was one of the chief defenses of the early settlers against the attacks
of the savage Indians. With pious affection and gratitude, their descendants
would hereby associate the sacrifices and sufferings of the fathers of the town
in establishing our institutions with those of our fathers in defending them.
'Aye, call it holy ground,
The spot where first they trod;
They have left unstained what here they found--
Freedom to worship God.'"
If the above does not clearly show that the fathers have been sufficiently
honored by monumental inscription, then our eyesight is as defective as our
neighbor states. It is not very probably that this question of another monument
in Deerfield will seriously affect the destiny of either Europe or America.
It seems to most of us a childish project, with which we do not care to be bored.
Every silly plan generally has several tails attached, and we have heard it
said if the monument is erected we must go through the splendid agony of a bi-centennial
celebration, at which the committee of arrangements and special constables will
have an opportunity to wear blue ribbon badges, and others can be gratified
with a seat on the platform. "Pocumtuck" has become so thoroughly
selfish that he would much rather sell a pair of boots or a gallon of non-explosive
kerosene than take any stock in appendix monuments or celebrations which are
more wearisome than beneficial. Neighbor Sheldon is writing a good history of
the town, and let us endeavor to give it a large circulation, but do not bother
us, the majority, with too many unnecessary projects.
Mr. Editor, you are probably tired of this subject, and the next time I bother
you, it will be upon some other topic. Neighbor "S." does not get
off the track very often, but when he does, we shall claim the privilege to
give him a little wholesome advice. POCUMTUCK.
Deerfield, Massachusetts, has become famous as a town that celebrates, even lives on, its past. But there were critics of the first steps the town took in memorializing its past. This column is written by a resident who no doubt was a close neighbor of "S," or George Sheldon, the leader of the memorial movement and later founder of the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association. Sheldon's push for a monument above the grave of the townspeople who were killed during the 1704 Raid on Deerfield ultimately would be successful, but as is typical in small towns, not without a fair amount of discussion and dissent. Here, Sheldon is criticized for working to duplicate what the town's recently erected soldiers' monument already memorialized. As perhaps this writer feared, Deerfield residents continued to memorialize other historical places in the area in and around the town.

3. Take these edited photos and arrange them. In this case I used dundjinni but I usually use photoshop. I added the water last so this is the effect withouth the water
Heres a close up without the water so you can see the detail
And here with the water
So as you can see getting a realistic effect isnt that hard. The hardest part is getting the stock images. This takes time and sometimes allot of effort. Quarries, creeks, the garden are all great place to start looking. If anyone needs an indepth on layering etc let me know and ill add to this. This was meant to give an idea of the total process..

Got 'em dirty
Multi-day backpack excursions in N Cascades. Surprised at the performance of this lightweight boot over really murderous and varied terrain, and fully loaded w/ 30 lb pack. Very stable. Feet stayed dry in rain, mud and creek crossings. Stayed cool to 80F. No slipping around. Did put in inserts (I do in almost all my shoes) because of prior nerve damage to ball of foot. Size 8, true to size. Did wear med-heavy wool socks.
Also, I have very narrow heels, low arches, and slight bunions. Plenty of room in toe box with no slop.
For more than ten miles a day loaded, I'd suggest a slightly stiffer soled boot. But overall I was highly pleased.
Is your sizing in USD?

Hello Sarah Dunn,
Thanks for your question.
Yes, our sizes are U.S. sizes. If you click on the 'size?' link near the price a size chart will pop up and can help you with any conversion to UK or EU and even offers a centimeter measurement to compare to your foot. I hope this helps.

A lot of musicians hold meet and greets, but Hunter Hayes has found a way to really get the conversation brewing with his fans.
Hayes, who is currently on Carrie Underwood's Blown Away Tour, hosts a Coffee House Experience before each of his shows, giving fans an intimate meeting with the 21-year-old singer.
In the latest episode of CMT's "For the Love of Music," Hayes took fans behind the scenes of these gatherings. And from the looks of it, he doesn't hold much back. "I like hanging out with guys and just spending time," he said. "We can do whatever we want."
He began the meetings two years ago, and he wanted to keep the tradition alive, even as he plays bigger and bigger venues and arenas. He describes the coffee house as a "sacred ground." "This was the time of the day that we kept unscheduled, uninterrupted. We can just chat for however much time we have here. It's not rushed. It's not quick. We can talk. We can laugh… ask questions," he told his fans at one of the stops. "It's all you."
Hayes has tour dates slated right through August, and in June, he'll perform at the CMT Awards where he is also a nominee. The "I Want Crazy" singer will drop his new album, Encore, on June 18 the same day he plays New York's Webster Hall as a part of MTV's Artist To Watch live series.

|The Version Votes Are In
|Written by Ron Severdia
|Tuesday, 09 August 2011 16:25
Just over a week ago, the PLT had a summit in San Jose, CA and asked the community to vote on the next version number of Joomla. There were two options and both had their pros and cons. Calling the January 2012 release Joomla 1.8 would have provided continuity with the currently available 1.6 and 1.7 releases, but would have required explaining why it was the exception to the rule that x.5 means a long-term release. Calling the January 2012 release Joomla 2.5 would provide consistency going forward (and backwards to Joomla 1.5), but would be an odd "jump" in the numbering since there will be no Joomla 2.0. There were plenty of questions and much discussion around the options, but now the vote is in.
Click the image above for a larger version.
By a slim margin, the winner was Joomla 2.5. Seeing the makeup of the vote (it wasn't a landslide), it's clear that the community is sharply divided on the question. Hopefully, in conjunction with the 6-month development cycle, there will be clearer expectations in the future with regards to releases and support.
The vote was a way for the PLT to gauge the pulse of the community on this issue so the next steps are to prepare for the release of Joomla 2.5 in January 2012.
Thanks for voting!

iPhoto: "Unreadable Files" Alert
An alert may appear while importing pictures that says there was an unreadable file and that some of the pictures were not imported because they were an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data.
This article has been archived and is no longer updated by Apple.
While importing pictures into iPhoto an alert appears with this message:
- "Unreadable Files: The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)"
Figure 1 Unreadable file alert
A list of files that were not imported appears as part of the alert.
This happens If you try to import items that are not pictures, or files that are damaged, or when the computer's hard disk is full.
- 1. If only some or none of the photos were imported, make sure they are actually photos. Note which files were not imported. If possible, open them with another application, such as Preview, which can open the same type of image files that iPhoto can. If the file cannot be opened in another graphics application, then it is probably not a graphic file, or the file is damaged.

Anti-Gay Law: Shunning Sochi Hurts Olympians, Merkel Says
Russia's new anti-gay "propaganda" law has some Western leaders considering a boycott of the Winter Olympics there next year. But German Chancellor Merkel says such a move would only harm athletes.
As the debate over how Russia's ban on gay "propaganda" will affect next year's Winter Olympics in Sochi wears on, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has weighed in.
But Merkel opposes the idea. According to SPIEGEL, sources within the Chancellery say that the world's attention will be focused on Russia next February, which will do far more to influence the situation there than a boycott, as was the case last year with regard to human rights during the Eurovision Song contest in Azerbaijan.
In the Chancellor's view, athletes would suffer unduly from a boycott, sources told SPIEGEL.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, who is himself gay, expressed a similar view last week, saying that although the new law is "unacceptable," the discussion over boycotting the Olympic Games is "counterproductive."
"It would be wrong to leave the field to those who are against tolerance and the protection of minorities," he told daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Saturday.
Moscow Promises Protection
But on Sunday, Russia's sports minister assured that the country's new law would not cause problems for athletes or spectators during the Winter Games. As the competition in Moscow drew to a close, Vitaly Mutko said that "the freedoms of Russian and foreign athletes and guests who come to Sochi will be absolutely protected," though he compared homosexuality to drug abuse.
Russia decriminalized homosexuality in 1993, and officials insist that the new law passed in June does not penalize gay and lesbian orientation, but the spread of the lifestyle's non-traditional "propaganda" to young people. The law's failure to define what exactly constitutes distribution has many worried that it could be misused.

Recognizing the importance of financing adaptation
- Date
- 23 September 2010
Walter Bell, Chairman of Swiss Re Americas Holding kicked off a lively conversation at Climate Week NYC this week about the need to elevate adaptation issues within the international policy and finance debate.
Mr Bell's comments led a lively discussion at a "Risk and Resiliency: Risk Transfer & Adaptation in Developing Economies" event hosted by Swiss Re and international NGO The Climate Group with the speaker panel agreeing that the case for adaptation had been the poor relation to the case for mitigation in the international climate negotiations process for too long and this now needed to change.
Mark Kenber, Deputy CEO of The Climate Group said that this was partly the result in the early days of the UNFCCC negotiations of many, in particular the environmental community, wanting to focus almost exclusively on cutting emissions, with discussing adaptation feeling like admitting defeat. This was exacerbated by mitigation and adaptation being seen as often unrelated issues dealt with by separate government departments from separate budgets. Similarly, there has been a persistent assumption that mitigation is a private sector issue while adaptation needs to be managed by the public sector; in reality partnerships between the two sectors are needed for both.
That was view that Veerle Vandeweerd, Director of Environment & Energy Group at the UNDP shared. She highlighted an additional challenge saying the time has come to not only tackle climate change mitigation and adaptation together but to also ensure all the Millennium Development Goals such as health, water scarcity and agriculture are tackled in an integrated way.
The practicality of this raised a second important point, that the appropriate funds need to be made available and managed in the right way. Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary at the UNFCCC signaled in her opening keynote speech that she is keen to make this the focus of COP16 in Cancun, Mexico later this year. The challenge at COP 15 in Copenhagen, she said, was that a lot of people went into the negotiations thinking that "there was going to be one mythical agreement…This doesn't exist." She was also clear that adaptation needs to be firmly on the agenda with a focus on establishing an international fund for adaptation and creating a body with oversight to manage and deploy the funds. In the context of international negotiations, she went on to say that, rather than thinking we will have one agreement, we should instead focus on delivering the commitments that have already been made.
Andrew Steer, Special Envoy on Climate Change at the World Bank supported this saying that even without an international agreement, 88% of countries that approach the Bank for financial support want help tackling climate change. They see the need, benefits and economic opportunities.
Swiss Re recognized its role as a private sector finance organization and commitment to leadership on this issue. Matthias Weber, a member of the Executive Board and Head of Property and Specialty for Swiss Re is 'convinced that climate can be tackled and solved'. The company has been walking the talk with the development of risk transfer products that enable the Caribbean access to recovery funds more quickly than traditional catastrophe insurance and is collaborating with Oxfam to develop micro-insurance products that directly benefit farmers dealing with the devastation of crops as a result of severe weather events and changing climatic conditions.

Hi Community,
We been facing an ackward problem with one of our servers. We have configured the DNS following all the guidelines on the forums and wiki, and it does resolve internally and externally, even the PTRs. The only thing that we have found different on the config is that we have on DNS:
mail.domain.com as MX, A and NS records
domain.com as zmhostname
In the zmhostname the hostname does no appear, and we have the problem that outgoing mail to some domains (hotmail, gmail, etc) are being held on the active queue or deffered, we looked on the zimbra.log and to the domains that is not delivering it gives the following error:
lost connection with hotmail.com[126.96.36.199] while receiving the initial server greeting
Is it possible that this issue might be blocking delivery?. Also, we have DNS lookup unchecked, because if we check it it starts to deliver ok to all outside domains but gives the following error when we deliver to the local domain:
<email@example.com>: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=domain.com type=A: Host found but no data record of requested type
In advance, thanks for all the help you might give us. Please feel free to ask for the configuration files if they are needed (in case you think the problem goes beyond the issue stated before).

I am currently learning about tensors as they come up in the mathematics behind continuum mechanics.
I was fairly disappointed with my initial foray into tensors, as presented in the book Classical and Computational Solid Mechanics, by Fung and Tong. That experience caused me to write up the following question: I feel that (physics) notation for tensor calculus is awful. Are there any alternative notations worth looking into?
As you can see, I got an interesting answer, recommending that I read through the following paper: Tensor Decompositions and Applications. However, that text is still beyond me at the moment, as it assumes a fair bit of background knowledge on tensors.
After doing some researching here, I found the following answers:
- Suggestion for good notation - abstract index notation
- Harmful heuristics one should avoid - "A tensor is a multidimensional array of numbers that transforms in the following way under a change of coordinates..."
The above heuristic is exactly what is presented in Fung and Tong's book. I would really like to understand tensors properly. I want to avoid harmful heuristics, and unnecessarily tedious notation. I would like to be able to understand for instance, the following sentence (touted as being the "real definition of tensors" according to one of the comments):
Let M be a smooth manifold; let FM be the space of smooth functions on M, let VM be the space of smooth vector fields on M, and let V*M be the space of smooth covector fields on M. A (k,l) tensor is a multilinear map from (VM)^k x (V*M)^l to FM.
What resources should I pick up in order to begin?

Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news of Him spread throughout the whole region. He taught in their synagogues and was praised by all.
He came to Nazareth, where He had grown up, and went according to His custom into the synagogue on the sabbath day. He stood up to read and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord." Rolling up the scroll, He handed it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at Him. He said to them, "Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing." And all spoke highly of Him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from His mouth.
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME. Jesus proclaims as his own the mission of the prophet Isaiah and of the people of Israel. He declares that he is anointed by the Spirit to bring good news to the poor, liberty to captives, recovery of sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed.
As Christians, we have been anointed by the Spirit to carry on Jesus' mission. The Spirit gives us confidence to declare to others the marvels God works in us. How do we do this? Like Jesus, we are to serve others: bringing glad tidings to the poor, proclaiming liberty to captives, giving sight to the blind, setting the oppressed free, and proclaiming a year acceptable to the Lord. These may not be the only things to be done these days, but we are sure that we, like Jesus, must be good news to others. In our deeds, God's wonderful and loving deeds must be felt.
"We love because he first loved us.
…whoever loves God must also love his brother"
(1 Jn 4:19, 21).

Education Solutions classmate PC Puebla Mexico Study
To effectively move towards becoming a knowledge-based society, a nation's students must have access to quality education. Information and technology must work hand in hand to provide them with solutions adequate to their specific needs in this regard.
Mexico, with its more than 100 million inhabitants, has the largest Spanish-speaking population in the world. According to figures from the World Bank, approximately 40% live in poverty and 18% live in extreme poverty, earning less than one dollar a day. Nevertheless, Mexico has the 14th largest economy worldwide and is second in Latin America.
In order to improve these conditions and boost a developing economy, steps need to be taken in order to let children, the workers of the future, be more competitive in this ever changing climate.

Docs Shine at 29th Annual Frameline LGBT Fest in S.F.
by Karl Beck
As the world's oldest and largest queer film festival, the San Francisco International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Film Festival, remains a remarkably dynamic event. With screenings in the highly trafficked queer Castro neighborhood and multi-ethnic Mission District, people watching is never boring while waiting for a screening. Multiple lines, exiting and entering patrons, passersby, onlookers, and Frameline's signature crowds (queens, kings, daddies and dykes) means the festival has the tendency to generate a lot of infectious energy.
French directors Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau presented the opening night screening with their feature "Côte d'Azur," which was well-received by a festive and packed Castro Theater.
Interestingly though, it seems that this year's festival was not marked by the strength of narrative films, but rather by its abundant amount of documentaries. Queer filmmakers looked to a multitude of sources and themes in defining and exploring the cultural roles, achievements and landmarks of the LGBT community.
Looking back 15 years, Jennie Livingston's seminal "Paris Is Burning" (1990) was screened along with her new visually lush narrative short film "Who's The Top." Joseph Lovett's "Gay Sex in the '70s" took a reminiscent and mature look back to New York City, and focused on the sexual revolution that took place amongst the newly liberated gay community, while in "Ending Aids," Bill Jersey and Michael Schwarz's documentary explored the history, achievements and challenges relating to the most serious pandemic of our era.
Films about sports were prevalent in programming and audience interest, as the gay rugby players of "Rugger Buggers" demonstrated. While performer, writer and chanteuse Charles Busch's role in NYC's 1980's East Village arts scene was documented by Josh Catania and Charles Ignacio's "The Lady in Question is Charles Busch." Numerous patrons, meanwhile, were turned away from packed screenings of Daniel Peddle's "The Aggressives," a portrait of butch women who identify themselves by this new moniker.
Sasha Aicken's "Blood, Sweat and Glitter" was the first show of the festival to sell out, and ended up taking the Audience Award for Documentary feature. This very entertaining doc details the 2004 Miss Trannyshack Pageant, a highly competitive annual San Francisco drag event featuring numerous outrageous art performances. Surpassing the tired drag rigmarole, Aicken's film is engrossing while relishing and documenting the crazy and fresh drag revolution happening in San Francisco.
Jennifer Morris, director of festival programming, noted several Themes in both documentary and narrative submissions this year -- the festival screened at total of 90 features and 177 short films. "We noticed that films about sports were very prevalent. Also, we saw a lot films by and about transgender people," Morris said. Three high profile films about transgender issues were well-attended and received by audiences. Victor Silverman and Susan Stryker's documentary "Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria" details a gay rights riot predating Stonewall, and Jeremy Simmon's documentary "TransGeneration" follows four transgender college students through their academic year, while Duncan Tucker's film "Transamerica" was featured as the closing night film. Acquired by the Weinstein Company at the Tribeca Film Festival, "Transamerica" went on to win the Audience Award for Narrative Feature.
The audience's favorite short film went to Jen Gilomen's "In My Shoes - Stories of Youth with LGBT families." Indeed the youth and family oriented screenings were numerous and often quite moving. In tune with this market of growing numbers of LGBT families, Frameline continued with their 2nd annual "Kids Matinee," showing the '70s cartoon film version of "Charlotte's Web."
Youngsters are only one demographic Frameline hopes to reach. Drag/film impresario Peaches Christ presented her tran-iology of terror with a series of comedic drag/horror/homage shorts. Other memorable spectacles from this year include the mob of champagne drinking shock/high-art drag queens amassing for their entrance to Sean Mullens' documentary "Trannyshack," a love letter cum music video to the now legendary Tuesday night party in San Francisco's SOMA area.
Not all film subjects received a loving reception, however. The subjects of Wash Westmoreland's "Gay Republicans" were treated to a rowdy Q&A, by a sold-out theater of angry, frustrated and vocal audience members, though serious adulation was what Tammy Faye Messner received as she entered the Castro Theater for the screening of Chris McKim's entertaining documentary, "Tammy Faye: Death Defying." Audience members were treated post screening to an organ performance by Mrs. Messner.
No festival would be complete without a few memorable parties. Several shindigs fulfilled this requirement, including the filmmaker party staged at "Tom & Jerry's" private home, and offering up stunning views of the entire Bay Area.
Frameline's centerpiece party, celebrating Don Roos' new feature "Happy Endings" was held at Foreign Cinema, a hip indoor/outdoor venue with an art gallery feel. Attendees guzzled down the free drinks while films screened on the venue's huge concrete wall.
The frenzied madness of San Francisco on gay pride weekend needs to be seen to be believed, which many festival attendees experienced. As masses of people arrived for the Pink Saturday Castro Street Party, the festival's screening of a making-of an adult film documentary "eXposed" played to a packed house. Directly afterward, partygoers filled into the "Ho' Down" in the Castro Theater parking lot, where partiers were treated to beer and hot dogs and some unwelcome San Francisco fog. While the madness of the street party raged, giant bare chested models from Colt Studios posed for cameras with grinning party attendees.
The festival's closing night party, held at the downtown Old Federal Reserve Building, filled quickly with tired folks recovering from a long stretch of films and celebrations. Many enjoyed a bit of the Hair-of-the-dog, and said 'goodbyes' while keeping their heavy eyelids open for one last party.
With yet another year under its belt, Frameline now has its eyes set on raising serious capital for its "Changing the World, One Movie at a Time" campaign. While continuing to produce the annual San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival, the year round non-profit is now hoping to expand its distribution wing, while advancing its filmmaker support and offering year-round screenings. Considering the state of politics and the abundance of film festivals, it's refreshing to see that Frameline successfully reaches out to other communities while continuing to look ahead and advance the portrayal of queer lives at home and in theaters.

In a bid to attract long-term debt to time-consuming road projects, the government is set to give infrastructure debt funds (IDFs) designated to refinance bank loans to such projects the facility of first charge on escrow accounts of terminated projects. The finance ministry has also stipulated that bonds issued by a concessionaire to an IDF to raise funds for a project must be redeemed well in advance of the completion of the concession period half the amount after completion of 75% of the period, three-fourths by 85% and the remainder no later than two years before the concession period expires.
The new model tripartite agreement between the National Highways Authority of India, the road builder and IDFs also bestows on these funds the title of senior lender and gives them all rights and privileges as enjoyed by the lead bank. The moves are aimed at encouraging banks and financial institutions to launch IDFs, which are expected to play a key role in addressing the asset-liability mismatch between available bank funds and road projects where funding is required for long periods, as much as 25 years in some cases. IDFs help free up bank funding for newer projects.
According to a finance ministry notification, The authority (NHAI) shall, instead of depositing the termination payment in the escrow account of the project, redeem the bonds by making payments due and payable to the debt fund, and the balance, if any, shall be paid into the escrow account.
Hobbled by land and forest clearance issues, several long-gestation road projects have failed to meet deadlines while some have missed revenue targets. With banks turning wary of lending to such projects, companies have been avoiding them of late.
Domestic and foreign lenders want clarity on IDF rules before putting money into infrastructure, a sector estimated to require $1 trillion in five years.
In March, ICICI Bank joined Bank of Baroda, Citi and Life Insurance Corporation to float an IDF with a $2-billion corpus, while IIFCL roped in IDBI Bank, LIC, ADB, Barclays and HSBC for a $1-billion IDF. Many more are in the pipeline.
While ensuring prompt payment to bondholders, the government has capped the overall exposure of IDFs in road projects to 85% of the total debt component of the project. The concessionaire can issue additional bonds not more than 15% of the total debt with prior NHAI approval.

16 September 2012
Photo: Andrei GolovanovMikhail Kukushkin (KAZ)
ASTANA, KAZAKHSTAN: Andre Agassi's game famously once collapsed at the French Open upon the unexpected arrival of former President Bill Clinton, and Mikhail Kukushkin suffered a similar outbreak of nerves when Kazakhstan's president Nursultan Nazarbayev made a surprise appearance at the National Tennis Centre in Astana during their Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group play-off against Uzbekistan.
Fortunately for the home nation, Kukushkin, unlike Agassi, managed to get himself back on track after the president's untimely arrival five games into his potentially decisive rubber against Denis Istomin, pulling off an unscheduled 6-4, 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-2 victory. It maintained Kazakhstan's place in the World Group for a third consecutive year.
"The first game after he came I was a complete disaster, I was so nervous," said the Kazakhstan No. 1. "But after that I calmed down a little bit and started to play my game again and really enjoy this moment."
Kukushkin had vowed that he would not be afraid of facing Istomin, who had beaten him twice before and at No. 34 in the world rankings is 36 places ahead of the Kazak. It may sound like an obvious thing to say but plenty of players who talk the talk shrink like violets once caught up in the intimidating atmosphere of Davis Cup, but Kukushkin was true to his word and played aggressively from the outset.
"Istomin helped us a little bit inasmuch as his first serve percentage wasn't quite there," said Dias Doskarayev, the Kazakhstan captain. "He had quite a good year, the year was long, he played quite good in the Olympics, so he must have been a little bit tired, but a win is a win and we'll take it."
Istomin was certainly in passive mood and not just by contrast. He surrendered the first set and when 5-2 down in the second complained bitterly to umpire Ben Anderson about noise from the crowd whenever he was serving.
His main problem, though, was of a physical nature and at 2-0 down in the third he requested a timeout for treatment to his back. This was his third rubber in three days, unlike his opponent, who did not feature in the doubles. It was Kukushkin's hope that if it went to five sets Istomin would be found wanting physically.
This should not be allowed to detract from the performance of the Kazak, who himself is due to go into hospital this week for hip surgery. Nevertheless, Istomin did seem to move more freely after the massage and broke back for 3-all with his first break point of the match.
Even so, Kukushkin was soon back in the driving seat and serving for the match and the tie at 6-5, only for Istomin to take it to a tiebreak in which Kukushkin, all credit to him, continued going for his shots. With the Uzbek edging it it was again a time for Kukushkin to show his mettle as the match went to a fourth set.
It's at moments like this that players suddenly lose their way, but Kukushkin was like a man on a mission and stayed focussed until a loose forehand from Istomin handed him a break for 4-2. The Kazakh was in a hurry and wrapped up the match on Istomin's serve on his third match point. His president must have been proud of him.

Flavia Pennetta (ITA)
Italy has brought the Fed Cup home after a commanding 4-0 victory over USA at the 2009 Fed Cup by BNP Paribas Final in Reggio Calabria, which saw the home team deny USA a live set, let alone a match over the course of the two days. After winning their first ever title back in 2006 away to the Belgians, their second provides the icing on the cake, witnessed by 5000 adoring Italian fans at the Circolo del Tennis Rocco Polimeni. And in the true team spirit of the Italians, it was the turn of world No. 11 Flavia Pennetta's moment of glory, as she defeated Melanie Oudin 75 62 in the battle of the No. 1s on Sunday to cap a career-defining year for the 27-year-old, which saw her become the first ever Italian woman in tennis history to break the Top 10. "It's a very nice feeling. We worked hard to get to this point and finally we make it. In the beginning of the week everyone expects so many things, and we were very nervous. But now we are three-love and we can enjoy."
No one could deny that Melanie Oudin put in a gutsy performance in what were difficult circumstances for the 18-year-old in just her second Fed Cup tie. Like she had dug her way out of trouble in USA's first round tie against Argentina, saving her team from defeat by winning the fourth rubber from a set down to level the tie 2-2, the 'Oudini' of Team USA never gave up throughout the one hour 28 minute encounter. But having been simply outplayed and out-experienced for the majority of the match, there was no escaping the fact that Italy, in Pennetta, were onto a winner. "I think I could have played better on some points," said Oudin. "In the first set it was so close and I had a lot of chances, so I feel like if a couple things would have gone my way or if I would've hit this shot on that point, then it would have changed the momentum in the match. But after she won the first set, just like what happened yesterday, she kind of ran away with it. I think I letdown a little bit. "Someday, when I'm in the Fed Cup final again, hopefully I'll be able to pull on the win." But it was not 100% one-sided and there were glimpses of the terrier-like Oudin that had fought her way through the draw at the US Open. Having been on the back foot from the outset with an immediate service break in the opening game, Oudin really came into her stride in the eighth game of the first set, applying the pressure on her talented opponent to force the first deuce of the match and then earn three break points. Pennetta saved them all but the grapple had given Oudin some edge. She broke back in the tenth game to level the match at 5-5.
There was a lot more distance between the two players in the second set with Pennetta keeping one eye on the trophy. She won four straight games in the second set to go 4-1 up and repaid a break of her own serve to go 5-2 and thus serve for the match. When she hit a backhand down the line at 5-2 40-30 to seal Fed Cup championship point, she flung her racket in the air, collapsed to her knees on the red clay and was hoisted up by captain Corrado Barazzutti, the man that has developed such an admirable strong team ethic since taking over the role in 2002. "This is something unbelievable," Barazzutti gushed, "these girls write the history of Italian tennis, this is a great moment. For a country like Italy…we are not America…this is a dream come true." This is the fourth time that Pennetta has scored the winning point for Italy in a Fed Cup tie, but none will be as enjoyable or as memorable as this one. Her 12th Fed Cup singles victory ended USA's 9-0 winning run against the Italians in Fed Cup, which has spanned 40 years, and now 17-time champion USA must begin a new campaign to end its longest title drought in the competition, having last lifted the Rose Bowl in 2000.
However US captain Mary Joe Fernandez, in her debut year, will surely be proud of her young team, and her No. 1 player this weekend, who had a huge amount of pressure on her shoulders in the absence of the two Top 10's Serena and Venus Williams. Oudin, embraced by Fernandez, was in tears after the match, having put up such a fight despite her ongoing struggle with the bad bounces and the greater sense of belief from Pennetta that had doubled in strength since Saturday's match against Alexa Glatch. While the Italian team piled on court to celebrate with Pennetta to the soundtrack of Black Eyed Peas "I Gotta Feeling", Italian tennis stalwarts Lea Pericoli and Nicola Pietrangeli were all smiles from the stands as the girls took the flag in a lap of honour underneath the presidential box, and the TV crews and their equipment scampered from the fountains of champagne. Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci made the scoreline 4-0 by winning the doubles over Liezel Huber and Vania King, Vinci extending her perfect record in Fed Cup doubles to 14-0, and the stage was set for the trophy ceremony. The teams were led on court to the evocative "Chariots of Fire" and when Italy lifted their trophies in front of the standing crowd, they sang with gusto to their national anthem followed by Pavarotti's "Nessun Dorma". Italy has defied the likes of France, Fed Cup defending champion Russia and USA to win the 2009 Fed Cup by BNP Paribas and become the No. 1 nation in the Fed Cup nation rankings for the first time, and also the eighth nation in history to win more than one Fed Cup title. This weekend's confident display and sweetest victory could provide the key to many more. Tonight will certainly be a good night.

Aries(3/21-4/19) People don't have to keep doing things the way they always have. Things change. Do not resent the inevitable or your life will be miserable. You may not like or understand some changes someone close to you is making, but it is not up to you. Get over it.
Taurus (4/20-5/20) If there is a new relationship in your life, you will learn much from it this week, for better or worse. If your relationship is not new, it may feel a little off-kilter this week.. Change it up, add some spice. Don't just assume that it will always be great
Gemini (5/21-6/20) Good spirits are contagious. The new interests you are pursuing have given you new energy and drive. Go with it! Learning and doing keep you interested and interesting to others. The sun is out and so is your ambition!
Cancer (6/21-7/22) Last week brought you a gift you have been waiting for and it felt oh so good. Continue to count your blessings and this week, you will receive more. Move cautiously if you are taking a risk, however. You may be on shaky ground.
Leo (7/23-8/22) There is uncertainty in your plans right now and that is okay. Be patient. Things will turn to your favor if you are able to avoid forcing the solutions. You will know what to do when you know. For now, enjoy the moment!
Virgo (8/23-9/22) You can break out of a destructive pattern this week. Something has got to give and likely, it is going to be you! Baby steps add up quickly, so take one after another and you will get where you want to go!!
Libra (9/23-10/22) The tendency to do for others, all on your own accord, while keep track of what you are owed, is a self-destructive one. This week, that practice will not pay. Do it "for fun and for free" or do not do it at all. Keeping score is a losing pursuit.
Scorpio (10/23-11/21) You will be acknowledged for your achievements this week and you deserve it! Your life is not without difficulty but what you are grateful for outweighs your burdens. Go with the flow and enjoy the moment! It will be back to your grindstone soon enough!
Sagittarius (11/22-12/21) You are feeling frustrated with the status quo. Change does not come over night and it will never come without you first doing the work. Let your resentments go, as they will never help. Do what you know needs to be done and smile.
Capricorn (12/22-1/19) Now that you have decided what it is you want, you need to move yourself into the position to get it. This week is about communicating what you want to the one's that matter. Your dreams are on their way!
Aquarius (1/20-2/18) Everyone wants a piece of you and you are feeling sorry for yourself. Sorry that you are so loved and needed? Be thankful instead. You have the ability to please everyone now and what you give is returned tenfold.
Pisces (2/19-3/20) You will be moving towards some changes you have been hesitant to make, but it is time. Happiness is an inside job. There is no-one else to look to for yours, so make yourself, your health and well-being the priority in honor of your birthday time!

*Note: I'll be out of town this week so don't expect a new episode this Friday. Instead, you get a Monday podcast that'll hopefully keep you satiated 'till next week. Enjoy!
While we're absolutely happy playing Borderlands 2 forever, we can't help but wonder (again) what actually happened to The Last Guardian.
This week Don, Mike and Joseph do the usual: news, reviews, get Derailed, etc… Layoffs at Sony Japan eventually lead us to talking about other things that are wrong—and not so wrong—with Japanese game development. O Last Guardian, where art thou?
This week's intro/outro music: Doomsday - Nero
