This is it...this is my last blog post on Xavierism.com / Xavierism.Typepad.com. This blog has allowed me to be creative in so many ways. I enjoyed updating and sharing with family, friends all over, and various readers. I was ready to shut my blog down last year and later changed my mind and continued with this journey. Today, I woke up early and just felt a beautiful change and shift. I'm ready to move on and move to the sidelines with my blog.
I have been rather quiet on the social media side of online things and find myself quite happy just going along and sharing at my own pace. I'm actually quite sad but know that Change always allows for new beginnings and challenges and I'm ready to take on a new Chapter. I'm shifting and I'm now "I'm ready to be Brave!".
I'm in the process of making a copy of this blog in book form so I will always have the memories before me and within the corners and detours of my mind. Thank you to all of you for allowing me to share with you. A few of you continued to email your thoughts after each blog post and I was always completely touched. For those I connected due to Hospice, please know you will always have my contact info. To Jude, Thank you my Sunflower Angel for always adding a bit of Sunshine to my Blog and Life. One day you and I WILL hug and share that cup of coffee. Rodan, I hope you return home soon...Life isn't the same.
It's 4:06am. Coffee is Brewing. The House is quiet. My heart is filled with Love & Joy. It's a new day.
My About.me page has all of my info as to where I can be found throughout the net. I would love to connect via other sites if we haven't yet. I plan to keep this blog up for a while before I tuck it away quietly... Again, thank you, thank you. At Happy Hour today, I will toast to each of you that have touched me here with the Space of my Blog. Here's to you, Here's to Me, Here's to Us! Remember, I wanna see you be BRAVE!
My new blogging experience will now be at Xavierism.tumbler.com. Feel free to join and share with me...

Bob Gallagher needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 51 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
We will be working in a modern and technology focused industry that is increasingly crowded, so need a memorable logo that will stand out from rivals.
We will be operating business to business and business to consumer, but the target audience is predominantly other technology companies and their employees.
We would like a logo that is predominantly just the name AppSynth using striking lettering. Other ideas could certainly be explored outside of the lettering but this should be the focus.
The desired colour scheme is lime green and a darker leaf green but we should also be able to produce it as a single colour black on white. One idea is to have have the name in one shade of green filled in, and the other outlined thickly in the other green with no fill. This is just a first thought however and am keen to see what different creative minds can come up with.
Oh, and we are more of a rounded-edges than sharp corners type brand!

Huvafen Fushi Travel Guide
Maldives © Andrew Shiva
The picturesque island of Huvafen Fushi ('Dream Island'), formerly known as Nakatchafushi, is an extremely photogenic holiday destination, set within its own lagoon and ideal for watersports such as scuba diving and snorkelling, or more relaxing activities like sunset cruises and fishing. The private resort island in the Maldives caters to the luxury end of the market and is located in the North Malé atoll, about 15 miles (24km) from the airport. Forty-three modern bungalows surround the lagoon, each one with a private pool along with modern comforts such as plasma TV screens and private bars. What sets Huvafen Fushi apart as a resort is the special touches: the ocean bungalows have glass floors, the spa features the world's first underwater massage treatment rooms; they seem to take luxury and novelty one step further.
There is a boutique at the resort selling some local arts and crafts for souvenirs and things like swimwear and sarongs for those who don't come prepared, but shopping is very limited. As with most Maldivian resorts, guests are encouraged to visit the capital if they want to go on shopping sprees.
Huvafen Fushi prides itself on its extensive wine cellar, making it a good choice for those who love their tipple. There are three restaurants on the island and the menus are heavily influenced by Vietnamese, Italian, Japanese and modern Asian cuisine, as well as local flavours. One of their restaurants, the aptly named Raw, serves only raw cuisine, another specialises in seafood, and the third in top quality international meals. All dietary needs are catered for.
This is not a party resort and the nightlife is limited to organised cultural events and live music concerts.
Huvafen Fushi is situated in an area that is pleasantly devoid of heavy boat traffic, which is one of the reasons it is well-known for its dive sites. The resort offers a number of world-class sites and caters for beginners and experienced divers. The snorkelling is also wonderful (they have special nighttime snorkelling opportunities). They also offer some fishing and sailing and a number of cruises. There is a spa, a gym and a yoga pavilion.
The resort has received some poor reviews for service, although nobody can fault it on luxury.

Few trading strategies are as divisive as the trading range breakout—an approach that probably has as many detractors as followers. This is illustrated by the results of searching "trading breakouts" in Google. The first result provides a basic guide, while the second emphasizes reasons traders should not even try to use them.
Yet, breakout trading is one of the first trading strategies many are introduced to in the field of technical analysis. What we really want to know, though, is "who's correct?" Are breakout strategies a valid, profitable method for trading, or should we keep looking elsewhere for the elusive Holy Grail?
Breakouts 101
A trader focusing on breakouts looks for a narrow trading channel or trading range in a security or futures where volatility has diminished. The goal is to establish a position as price breaks out of this trading channel concurrent with a spike in open interest, thereby taking advantage of the increase in volatility and catching a strong trend move.
The concept is sound at its core, given an ideal context, but detractors do have some valid points. These include the risk of false breakouts; many price channel breaks will correct back to the breakout point, or beyond. These are more common than the ideal explosive moves, which are rare.
Most traders who start out with breakouts quickly become aware of the cons of this strategy. At the same time, however, it's easy to see many breakouts work with textbook perfection, making it difficult to just throw in the towel, especially if as a new trader you have no idea what to move on to next.
The truth is, the way many of us are taught to trade breakouts is wrong. Trading a breakout involves more than simply recognizing a channeling market and placing a trade when the upper channel is supposedly broken, with a protective stop under the lower end of the channel (or vice versa for a short position). "Flushed out" (below) depicts a common scenario. It shows a 15-minute channel breakdown taking place in E-mini Dow futures. The channel breaks lower on strong momentum only to turn around rapidly over the next 15 minutes to break through the upper end of the trading channel—where traditional stops would be placed. This "flush" in the Dow subsided as quickly as it began. Futures went on to have a strong break lower throughout most of the morning.
Using traditional breakout strategies, the earlier flush would have taken many traders out of a short position established at the initial break lower. Not only did a profitable move take place without the would-be short trader, but an initial, ultimately correct, position was stopped out at a significant loss. This is the textbook example of why you shouldn't trade breakouts.
Simply dismissing the trade shown as yet another breakout that didn't work, however, does nothing to help us understand how to make money with this strategy. There were numerous signs that the trigger shown in "Flushed out" was high risk, even though the channel itself was a strong breakdown candidate. It's just a matter of knowing what you're seeking.

New systems planned by the European Commission to ease traffic
problems across Europe do not adequately protect the privacy of
travellers, according to the regulator set up to monitor the
privacy implications of Commission actions.23 Jul 2009
The European Commission plans to create a framework within which it will be easier for governments and transport operators to set up EU-wide tracking and monitoring systems for transport.
European Data Protection Supervisor Peter Hustinx, who is responsible for regulating EU bodies' privacy practices, said that he had concerns about the proposals.
Though the systems are aimed at making transport more environmentally friendly and less time consuming, Hustinx said that they could be used to monitor individuals' movements across the continent.
"The deployment of ITS will support the development of applications for 'tracking and tracing' of goods and will allow for the deployment of location-based commercial and public services," said a formal opinion produced by Hustinx. "The use of location technologies is particularly intrusive from a privacy viewpoint as it allows for the tracking of drivers and for the collection of a wide variety of data relating to their driving habits."
"The processing of location data is a particularly sensitive matter involving the key issue of the freedom to move anonymously, and which requires the implementation of specific safeguards in order to prevent surveillance of individuals and misuse of the data," his opinion said.
The Commission has proposed a 'deployment plan' for intelligent transport systems (ITS) which aims to standardise data processing throughout Europe so that ITS can work across borders.
Hustinx, though, said that the plans do not take great enough account of individuals' need for privacy.
"The proposed legal framework is too broad and general to adequately address the privacy and data protection concerns raised by ITS deployment in the Member States," said the opinion. "It is not clear when the performance of ITS services will lead to the collection and processing of personal data, what are the specific purposes for which a data processing occurs, nor what is the legal basis that justifies such processing."
"Furthermore, the use of location technologies for ITS deployment raises the risk of developing services that are intrusive from a privacy viewpoint if they entail the collection and exchange of personal data," it said.
Hustinx's opinion also pointed out that the plans are not clear enough to create a consistent level of data protection across the EU in the transport systems.
"There is a risk that the lack of clarity of the proposed legal framework will create diversity in the implementation of ITS in Europe which will lead to different levels of data protection in Europe. The EDPS emphasizes the need for further harmonisation on these issues at EU level to clarify outstanding issues," it said.
"It is particularly crucial to identify who the data controllers will be in respect of the data processing performed, as they will bear the responsibility to ensure that privacy and data protection considerations are implemented at all levels of the chain of processing," said the opinion.
The Commission said that ITS would join up information from the road, water and air transport networks and that this would reduce congestion and the damaging effects transport has on the environment.

For a city kid, Raphael Rabin, 14, of Mt. Airy, knows a lot about raising livestock. He spends every Saturday and even some Sundays working at the Manatawna Farm in Roxborough.
"The hardest part for me is waking up in the morning when I want to sleep in," he said.
Rabin is a member of the Manatawna-Saul 4-H club, which operates through a cooperative agreement with W.B. Saul High School (one of the largest agricultural farm schools in the United States).
The club owns sheep, yews, rams, steers and cows.
Rabin has raised a Yorkshire pig named Frankenswine and two lambs – "Princess" and "MC." When asked what was his favorite thing about 4-H, he replied, "working with the animals and the people."
"All the kids in the club are really important to me in unique ways," said Rabin, who plans to study animal science at Saul next year. "I have learned a lot about animals, but I have also learned the importance of team building."
Club members show their animals at the Pennsylvania Farm Show and other fairs and events throughout the year.
"The Farm Show is a great experience," Rabin said. You get to show your animals and compete against other people. It's a lot of fun to show your animals and to have all eyes on you while you're walking around. The judges try to say nice things about your animal, even if you don't make it into the final round. It's very special because you know it's going to be the last time you see your animal before it goes to the market."
When asked if it made him sad, knowing the animal could end up on his dinner plate, he replied:
"The first animal you have you get really attached to. My pig was really hard because I really loved Frankenswine. He was a fairly big Yorkshire pig. He was really cute."
Rabin said he had not considered becoming a vegetarian.
"I still like bacon," he said.
Tom Whitman, Rabin's father, said Rabin had loved 4-H "from the first moment he got here."
"He was always interested in animals, and 4-H was a natural fit for him," Whitman said.
Whitman, who grew up in New York City, was surprised to learn there was a 76-acre farm in the city. He said 4-H has taught his son to be more responsible.
"I think middle school years can be very difficult for kids," Whitman said. "I think kids who come to 4-H have very unusual interests and, because they have unusual interests, they support each other in ways that often aren't seen in middle school kids."
Monica Sohler said all five of her children have participated in the 4-H club from the time they were 8 years old until they were 18. Sohler, who supervises the sheep club, attributes a large portion of her children's success to 4-H.
"Both my older kids have master's degrees," Sohler said. "One of my daughters studied science because she wanted to become a large animal veterinarian. She ended up going into bioarchaeology. These are kids I think wouldn't have done as well if they hadn't learned certain skills in 4-H. And that's why I keep coming back and lose all my Saturdays to the farm."
Scott Moser, who supervises the 4-H club, said often when kids first come to the farm they are timid, especially with the larger animals, but as they work with the animals they become more confident and sure of themselves.
"We have children who come into the sheep club, including my son Thomas, who are very timid when they first join, and within a year they turn into another child," Moser said. "Thomas used to be afraid of dirt. He used to wash his hands all the time. It's really great to see kids come out of their shell."
Jane Arbasak, another 4-H supervisor who teaches at Saul, said her son Nick, who now attends Saul High School, has become more confident and mature as a result of the program.
"Not only is he confident, but the leadership and responsibility he shows – a lot of it came from 4-H," she said. "He was given a lot of responsibility and, as a result, he's not afraid to take on a lot of responsibility. It's been a great experience for him."
Moser, who works at Saul High School, said his son "not only knows what to do, he makes sure it gets done."
"If he sees something that has to get done he does it without being told," Moser added.
Arbasak said it has made a difference that her son had a parent guiding him.
"When I first came here when Nick was 8 years old, I had to do everything with him," she said.
"One of the things we stress in the club is parental involvement," Moser said. "The more parental involvement there is the better the kid is going to do."
Sohler said she enjoys watching the children grow up into confident young men and women.
"One of the things that impressed me at the farm show was watching Thomas patiently standing there with one of the younger kids helping them shear the sheep," Sohler said.
She added that in the past Thomas, her younger son, used to follow his older sister Mary everywhere, but that now Thomas is the one who is mentoring the younger kids.
Sohler said that in school, kids are grouped according to age and academic level.
"They tend to go in packs of the same age, and you don't have that here," Sohler said. "The kids here all work together."
She said kids in 4-H must be committed and willing to work hard every Saturday.
"You don't gain confidence by being told you're a good person," Sohler said. "You gain confidence by accomplishing something."
And there is no doubt that the kids in the 4-H Manatawna-Saul Club are doing just that. By working on the farm and raising livestock, they are learning the skills necessary to conquer tomorrow's challenges. No matter what career path they take in the future, they are on the road to becoming confident leaders and active citizens in their community.

Google Hotpot takes on Yelp
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Google, Internet
Google is once again trying to show that location services are really important to them with the release of Google Hotpot, a social recommendation engine for Places. According to Google, this service will provide recommendations "powered by you and your friends" to businesses and locations you happen to be near. Right now, Google Places mostly provides information and facts about restaurants, clubs, banks, or anything you can find on a map, as well as imported ratings from outside sources like Yelp. Hotpot adds the ability to like or dislike a location on the spot, and provide your opinion. Then, the engine will present that additional information from your social circle. The new feature is available on Android phones now and on the web, and uses your Google account to allow you to rate businesses.

This seminar will identify the different bases of contemporary insecurity and examine the legal regimes developed by international law to enhance security against violence, focusing on state security, collective security and individual security. It will outline the principal objectives and frameworks for these diverse legal regimes and the (often confrontational) inter-relationship between them (for example the jus ad bellum, including the responsibility to protect; jus in bello; international criminal law; human rights law; refugee law; weapons law; 'humanity's law'). It will also examine the strengths and weaknesses of each from the standpoint of security and how international law may in fact legitimise violence and thus contribute to insecurity. It will suggest that what is needed is a new understanding of what might be called 'a law of peace' based on a 'worldwide educational dialogue, multicultural in nature, to encourage a new vision of a security environment that makes the strengthening of the international legal order a categorical imperative.' In this civil society has an important role to play in convincing state leaders to perceive security in broad human security terms based upon both freedom from fear and freedom from want.

Its an honor to be her dad. I feel like I'm kind of unworthy to be her dad because she's so special. How was I so blessed to get the opportunity to have Kennedy? —Jason Hansen
WEST HAVEN, Utah — Kennedy Hansen has listened to Imagine Dragons' hit song "Radioactive" hundreds of times.
"She plays it over and over," said her father, Jason Hansen.
And on Oct. 25, 15-year-old Kennedy and members of the Hansen family will watch her favorite band perform live at Weber State University.
Though this is a dream for many teenagers, this concert is special for the entire Hansen family, which has relied on its LDS faith in coping with Kennedy's terminal illness. In June, Kennedy was diagnosed with juvenile Batten disease, which attacks the nervous system. Her experience of fulfilling another dream — as a cheerleader at Fremont High — was chronicled in the Deseret News earlier this week.
The health challenges started five years ago when Kennedy's eyesight started failing.
After being misdiagnosed initially with Stargardt's disease, a condition that causes blindness in children and teenagers, Kennedy and her family accepted the idea that she would eventually go completely blind.
"To be told you're going to be blind is a big devastator," her father said. "It was shocking. But Kennedy never complained even one time about any of the issues.
"Then her learning (ability) started digressing rapidly. We assumed this was because of her eyesight."
After nearly four years of care from a neurologist, running many tests and examining multiple scenarios, no answers were coming. Jason suggested the genetics department.
Eighteen months ago, the Hansens completed the preliminary paperwork to be placed on the waiting list for the Pediatric Genetics division of University of Utah Health Care.
In June 2012, they were referred to the genetics program and additional testing began.
"Our whole lives changed trying to figure out what was wrong with her," Jason said.
In February 2013, Kennedy's doctor, geneticist Ashley Warnock, prepared Jason and Heather for the worst.
"All she said was, 'I did my thesis on Batten disease, and I pray this isn't what she has. But she's exemplifying tons of these attributes,'" Jason said. "Over the next few months as we read about it, we realized that it was almost textbook of what she was acting like."
The Hansens' lives changed again when the results came that confirmed what they had dared to hope against — a positive diagnosis.
Kennedy is the only known case of juvenile Batten disease in Utah. According to her doctor, there are 500 known cases of Batten disease in the world and only 100 of them are juvenile.
Batten disease, an inherited condition, takes three forms: infantile, juvenile and adult. General symptoms of the illness include loss of vision, personality changes, learning and behavioral disabilities, seizures, loss of motor skills and premature death, according to the Beyond Batten Disease Foundation website.
"It's a mutated gene from Heather and a mutated gene from myself," Jason said. "And we happened to meet and fall in love, and the rest is history. It's a one in 500 million chance, is what (the doctors) say. It's like picking up a grain of sand."
Following the diagnosis, Kennedy was given a couple years to live at best, but because she is at the end of the disease, her parents are prepared that the end may come sooner.
Despite Kennedy's inevitable fate, and the changes that have and will continue to shape the Hansens' lives, they are upbeat.
This positive outlook is due in part to the Hansens' strong ties to their faith as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"We've chosen to share her story and to remain positive, and she's going home," Jason said. "We believe in a Heavenly Father who needs her home. She needed to have her life here, and share her legacy here and then move on."
Kennedy's Hugs, a Facebook page started and operated by extended and immediate family, is one avenue the Hansens use to share their daughter's story of love and faith.
"Every day we're having these amazing experiences with her ... so we're just trying to absorb everything, write these things down, and share them with other people so that they can experience her life, so that we can reflect back when it becomes more difficult for us to be able to see the good in it," said Kennedy's mother, Heather. "It will give us that strength to make it through, to see the goodness in what's happening."
In a way, the Hansens see this final chapter of Kennedy's life as a celebration of the goodness that has filled their lives.
And while on the road of great sorrows and great acceptance, the Hansens are learning lessons from Kennedy, too.
"She gets to return to heaven, how lucky for her, while the rest of us stay here. It's not that she's lucky to go through the experiences; she's learning and she's growing so much spiritually. She's well beyond us," Heather said. And we're all learning from her how to be more thoughtful about other people, how to be concerned, how to love, how to express that."
While Kennedy is the only blood daughter of Jason and Heather, their family also includes an adopted daughter, 16-year-old Anna, and son, 5-year-old Beau. Jason said the siblings have always been close.
Earlier this summer, Kennedy and her family were given a trip to Hawaii organized by the Make-A-Wish foundation.
Jason said it was Kennedy's wish to see family members, who live in Oahu.
"Hawaii wasn't for us. That was for her cousins," Jason said. "We watched Kennedy play dolls with her cousins and go to the beach. She got on a paddle board. She surfed on her knees. There are a lot of miracles, little tender mercies she will never forget."
Since Kennedy's diagnosis, the family has connected with extended family members who have come to visit Kennedy in the last chapter of her life.
In fact, it was because of Brittany Hansen, Kennedy's aunt, that her dream of seeing Imagine Dragons came true.
The concert is part of the inauguration of Weber State University's new president, Charles Wight.
"This was one of Kennedy's dreams to go to a concert. With all the medical bills, they didn't think they could afford that luxury," said Bev Rudd, Weber State's event coordinator. "Once we heard the story, we were able to accommodate their needs."
Weber State, where both Jason and Heather attended, is providing the family with tickets in a wheelchair-accessible area.
According to a press release from Weber State, when Kennedy heard the news she started jumping up and down and singing all the Imagine Dragons' songs she had memorized.
"It's hard to understand Kennedy's speech, but singing allows her to express herself clearly," Brittany said in the press release.
A video of Kennedy singing "Radioactive" was sent to the band. Jason said the family got a call from the band asking if Kennedy could come on their bus the day of the concert.
Extended family members started a foundation for Kennedy to help offset medical costs to help the family who has sought to help so many others during their time of need.
"She's just a special girl, really. She touches so many people. Something happens every day where she reaches out to people," Jason said. "Its an honor to be her dad. I feel like I'm kind of unworthy to be her dad because she's so special. How was I so blessed to get the opportunity to have Kennedy?"

Here's my final update for this year's goals.
01. Make 100 unique necklaces
Did it
02. Start up an etsy store to sell said necklaces!
It's called Little Deer Daydreams
03. Create some sewn items to sell on etsy, too
Did this but didn't sell any
04. Prepare blog posts much further in advance…
Scheduled posts have been a life-saver for months!
05. …but don't get bogged down with following 'blogging trends' (unless they're interesting to me)
...what were the blogging trends this year, anyway? (This is a genuine question)
06. Likewise don't feel pressured to create 'seasonal' crafts/posts (Halloween crafts at Easter? Why not!)
No pressure felt. (Nor motivation)
07. Get a hair cut. Seriously. It needs doing.
Did this eventually. It still looks nice, months later!
08. Practice photography, both for blogging and in general
Never really got around to this. =(
09. Write more original fiction outside of NaNoWriMo.
Didn't really do much of this, either
10. Have a big clear out and sell things on ebay.
Sold a few bits on ebay but also got rid of a lot of stuff through a car boot sale
11. Use Royal Pavilion & Museums membership card more before it expires!
It expired. Booo.
12. Paint.
Painted a handful of things this year. Not loads, though.
13. Finish reading 'Tired of London, Tired of Life' and actually do some of the stuff in it.
Read it. Haven't been to London since. Bum.
14. Complete 'Wreck This Journal' (I got one for Christmas and its so much fun)
Finished it! :D Might make a post about it eventually.
15. Write more 'personal' blog posts (like this one!)
Not sure that I succeeded at this one, either...
Picture so this isn't an entirely text post:
(I gained a new Discworld book for Christmas, but it didn't fit in with all the others, so I had to relocate them all to a different part of the cupboard...)
As for next year's goals...I haven't thought about them yet. How about you?
Happy New Year, everyone. Hope 2014 brings you marvellous things.

Disney now owns Lucas Arts - anyone concerned about this?
Maybe they can improve on the franchise.
Those last Star Wars movies - well --they just had all sorts of problems.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A decade since George Lucas said "Star Wars" was finished on the big screen, a new trilogy under new ownership is destined for theaters after The Walt Disney Co. announced Tuesday that it was buying Lucasfilm Ltd.from him for $4.05 billion.
The seventh movie, with a working title of "Episode 7," is set for release in 2015. Episodes 8 and 9 will follow. The trilogy will continue the story of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia beyond "Return of the Jedi," the third film released and the sixth in the saga. After that, Disney plans a new "Star Wars" movie every two or three years. Lucas will serve as creative consultant in the new movies.
"I'm doing this so that the films will have a longer life," Lucas, the 68-year-old creator of the series and sole owner of Lucasfilm, said in an interview posted on YouTube. "I get to be a fan now ... I sort of look forward to it. It's a lot more fun actually, than actually having to go out into the mud and snow."
Disney CEO Bob Iger said Lucasfilm had already developed an extensive story line on the next trilogy, and Episode 7 was now in early-stage development. He said he talked with Lucas about buying the company from him a year and a half ago, but they didn't decide on a deal until very recently as Lucas set in motion his retirement.
Read the rest here.

If they're following the next trilogy of books, they could be good. Those were decent.
I haven't read any of the Star Wars "Future History," but so long as Lucas isn't writing any of it (especially the dialogue!!!), they have a chance at least.
Yeah - please Lucas - do not write for these new movies!!
Eh, he can do the writing. He just needs someone to direct and edit anything he writes. "No George, no. Just ... don't do that."
It vaguely sounds like they might be starting with Heir to the Empire, Darkforce Rising, and The Last Command. Those books immediately followed the original trilogy.
Well, shit.
"We can safely assume that the films will be original stories and not adaptations of "Star Wars" novels, comics, or games. This is kind of a bummer. The Admiral Thrawn book trilogy by Timothy Zahn is highly regarded and would make a compelling series of films. However, according to E! Online, the new films will be based on original treatments written by George Lucas."
"When it comes to who will direct the films, that's anybody's guess. Danny Boyle would make a nice choice. He directed the under-seen sci-fi flick "Sunshine." Steven Soderbergh would surely make an interesting film set in a galaxy far, far away. If producers want to go with a blockbuster kind of guy, how about James Cameron or Steven Spielberg? Other possibilities that would likely be met with approval (again, we're just guessing): Joss Whedon, J.J. Abrams, Rian Johnson. Notice we did not include Michael Bay?"
I suppose it's far too much to hope that Joss Whedon might be involved with them. He did an absolutely amazing job with The Avengers.
Joss Whedon would be awesome! Yes, I agree Joseph the Avengers was a fantastic movie. Really enjoyed it.
Oh all original - oh well. I hope the Star Wars franchise improves.
Well that sounds cool Joseph.
Cool picture Loren.
Yeah that would be scary indeed.

I can't directly speak to rent or electricity, but in Adana a cheap hotel right in the center of the city is 50 lira/night, and at 1500 lira/month for living in what's really a rather nice business hotel, I rather imagine rent and utilities would be rather less than all that, especially if you're not living right in the city center. The maintenance charge and estate fees might be an issue with people ripping you off. I met a half Turkish/American guy who told me that even though he speaks Turkish natively, because he has an American name the emlaks always try to rip him off when he moves to a new place. But emlaks like to rip off foreigners throughout Turkey; it's a national pasttime. And the dentist? Seriously? Adana is a major destination for dental tourism because the work is comparable to what you can get in the west, and the rate is far lower. (It's not why I came here, it was a very happy accident.) You can get a root canal and a crown done for 500 lira for both, and the very highest quote I got for those procedures is 1100 lira. In the United States, those procedures would cost about 1500-2000 dollars. As for medical care, it's generally cheaper here than in the United States to begin with. And I hear that if you're working in Turkey legally, it's pretty much free because if you have a work visa and are paying into the Turkish medical plan, it will cover most things, even routine checkups. (This admittedly is something I can't personally confirm.)

You probably do not want to rent a place that is cheaper than 500 tl per month as you will get what you pay for. I have a big, furnished, nice place in a decent location for 600 tl per month. However, I have no idea how easy it is to come by places like mine. I went through a real estate agency and had to pay them 500 tl for a finder's fee and the landlord required 1200 tl for a deposit, so it was 1800 tl just to move in. Another place you could live to get a nicer flat for a little cheaper is Mudanya but you would have to commute 25 km into the city center of Bursa. You could easily live on 2000tl per month if you don't eat out much. However, two people can eat out for as cheaply as 4-6 tl each, but I'm taking about a doner with ayran at a bufe/cafe. You can buy most food really cheaply at the pazar. Except for in the winter, my utilites are very reasonable. In the winter, you can expect to pay more than 200 tl per month for gas and around 90-100 tl per month for electricity for about 4 consecutive months. Water only runs around 25 tl per month. I pay 58 tl per month for unlimited internet through TTNET which includes cable TV. They do have a cheaper package (37 tl), but it's slower. If you come to Bursa and are making 2000 tl per month and your rent is around 600 tl and you don't go out much, you should be able to save 500-700 tl per month. However, you should be able to make more than 2000 tl per month here. I don't know where you want to teach or what the language schools here pay, but there are two universities besides Uludağ (that doesn't hire foreigners) that you may be able to get a job at - Bursa Teknik (new this year) and Orhangazi (new for this coming fall).

I lived on 1700TL/month my first year, and saved between 500 and 700TL/month, going out about twice a week. There is some nightlife here, not like Istanbul, but that's not my scene really. It's mostly cafes and bar/restaurants, so (if the music isn't too loud) it's a nice place to go with friends to have a drink and chat. As far as rents are concerned, it is hard to find a good place for month to month at under 650TL, and that's pushing it. I'm talking uptown here though, I don't know about downtown, but it would be cheaper (I wouldn't want to live downtown though, especially as a woman/living alone). It is cheaper to rent yearly though, you will usually save about 2 months worth of rent if you rent yearly as opposed to monthly. It depends what you're looking for, but you should be able to find a liveable place for 6,000TL/year. I wouldn't pay more than 8,000TL/year though because after that it's just more than you really need, imo. To each his own though. Also, if you stay for longer than a year, the rents increase by 10%, so if your rent this year is 6,000TL, next year it will be 6,600TL. Depending on the landlord this can be negotiated. I have also heard that this happens with some month to month rents as well, but like I said, depends on the landlord. Also, do beware the emlaks taking you for a ride as they make commission. Best to have a Turkish friend with you.

Adana on the other hand will most likely offer a better "package" that should include free accomodation or an allowance at least, if you wanna save you need to negioate these extras.

A good voter turnout in Connecticut
A prescient New Yorker magazine cover said it all in its Nov. 12, 2012, issue that arrived in mailboxes Nov. 7, the day after Election Day.
Against an otherwise all-black cover, a young, backpack-wearing man slogs through a flood of waist-deep water, his flashlight cast aglow on a "Vote Here" sign written in four languages.
"Undeterred," artist Adrian Tomine titled his post-election cartoon.
Undeterred we were, voting citizens of America, amid extreme and unnecessary bureaucratic and legislative barriers, along with unexpected atmospheric obstacles produced by Hurricane Sandy.
With official state numbers still being crunched, Connecticut's voter turnout could be as high as 75 to 80 percent. Back in 2008, more than 78 percent of Connecticut's registered voters turned out, while the state's all-time-high turnout percentage reached 90 percent in 1960.
Connecticut's projected 2012 numbers could be close to or even top that of Minnesota, the highest in the country, estimated at nearly 76 percent.
Nationwide, however, fewer voters cast ballots, with turnout at 57.5 percent, down from 62.3 percent in 2008 and 60.4 percent in 2004, according to the Center for the Study of the American Electorate. An estimated 126 million people voted, and that means another 93 million eligible voters did not.
Also, the so-called youth vote, voters ages18 to 29, is slightly down from 52 percent in 2008 - with 50 percent nationwide voting within that age group, and Connecticut reaching 52 percent, as calculated by the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University.
Unfortunately, many variables factor into mucking up the election process. Flooding and outages helped hamper turnout, although people took impressive measures to get those affected by the Superstorm to voting booths. Polls opened late in California after election workers overslept. Long lines grew in Ohio and Florida where there were too few voting machines. Some Hawaii polling places ran out of paper ballots. Jammed or malfunctioning voting machines and clerical errors also contributed to a less than optimal voting experience.
However, it is also difficult to ignore that lower 2012 turnout statistics might signify the beginning of a terrifying bellwether for democracy - increasingly decreased voter participation - and that the cause, while impossible to pinpoint, just might have to do with tougher voting rules enacted in 13 states. Those laws, according to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University's School of Law, were among 180 such proposals in 41 states this year and last year.
Connecticut is doing the opposite, as Secretary of the State Denise Merrill continues working toward opening avenues for eligible voters to cast their ballots.
Not necessarily so in states such as Florida, where long lines meant voting past 1 a.m. last Wednesday, soon before President Obama delivered his victory speech. The president thanked those who participated in the election, whether they were first-time voters or whether they voted after waiting in line for a long time, adding, "By the way, we have to fix that."
One way to help fix that would be to make Election Day a holiday, along with working harder at opening up the voting process rather than closing it off.
Amid it all, voters showed they were, indeed, undeterred, and, in the words of Elizabeth MacNamara, president of the U.S. League of Women Voters, "The determination of voters came despite antics in Florida and Ohio to shorten voting hours, incorrect signage at Pennsylvania polling sites suggesting photo ID was required, poor election preparation causing long lines, and an onslaught of subversive robocalls intent on misdirecting voters."
Unable to truly know the turnout numbers as the New Yorker issue filled magazine racks and subscribers' mailboxes last week, the illustrator who created its cover delivered an optimistic message, a message that needs to be the focus of future work to turn around this disturbing trend toward shutting out eligible voters, and to do everything necessary to ensure that no eligible voter is undeterred.
The Day editorial board meets regularly with political, business and community leaders and convenes weekly to formulate editorial viewpoints. It is composed of President and Publisher Tim Dwyer, Editorial Page Editor Paul Choiniere, retired Day editor Lisa McGinley, Managing Editor Tim Cotter and Staff Writer Julia Bergman. However, only the publisher and editorial page editor are responsible for developing the editorial opinions. The board operates independently from the Day newsroom.

Cooler Shocks
To help keep your shocks from boiling over, Fox has developed the ECS (external cooling system), which attaches to all new and existing bypass shocks. The ECS works by channeling the shock's fluid through a billet aluminum and stainless steel heat sink. After excessive heat is allowed to escape, the cooled fluid continues back to the shock, completing the cycle. The faster the shock works, the more fluid is pumped through the cooling system.
