"Ima Robot" is a rock band based in Los Angeles that formed in the early 2000s. The band's vocalist, Alex Ebert, originally wanted to be a rapper before becoming a singer. The band's other original members were Timmy the Terror, Oligee, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and the prolific studio drummer Joey Waronker. Meldal-Johnson and Waronker were sought-after musicians who had played with Beck before joining Ima Robot. The band had tough times and money issues before they signed a record deal with Virgin Records. Their first full length album was self-titled ''Ima Robot'' and featured the single "Dynomite". The band has toured with Hot Hot Heat and She Wants Revenge. Waronker and Oligee have since left the band with former Oleander drummer Scott Devours taking over drumming duties. The band's song "A is For Action" was featured on the game SSX3.

At two football venues, 35 professional football players, aged 17 to 30, took part in a study. The aim was to compare in-shoe dynamic plantar foot pressures between football boots and trainers by investigating relationships between area, force and pressure. The study showed a decreased plantar foot area of 9.3% in the left football boot when compared to the trainer and 7.2% in the right. Maximum pressure was 35% higher in football boots when compared to trainers. Similarly, mean pressure was 27.6% higher in football boots. The study suggests that a reduced football boot surface area may be responsible for the increased forces and pressures within football boots when compared to trainers.

The lights are on
Kickstarter success story Hyper Light Drifter is well on its way to release later this year, but many parts of it remain mysterious. Lead designer at Heart Machine Alex Preston posted on the PlayStation Blog today about three key features that make up Hyper Light Drifter.
Preston talked about how he and his team are building fast paced combat that requires skill, but isn't unfair. Controls, visuals, and audio has all been built around making the combat feel "responsive and satisfying each time you lop an enemy in half, blow something up, or wipe out entire packs of ravenous creatures."
He also spoke about creating intelligent scenarios involving enemy encounters that don't treat them like "cannon fodder." This will involve enemies dodging your attacks, deflecting them, or commanding weaker enemies to try and gain an advantage.
In terms of storytelling, Preston said that they're tired of seeing endless blocks of text, and want to keep user-interfacing to a minimum, since the focus should be on Hyper Light Drifters world. Dialogue and quests will be presented in storyboard sequences without requiring text or voice overs.
The third aspect he talked about is Hyper Light Drifter's atmosphere. Preston said that they're focusing on the excitement of discovery to create a compelling world for the player. He also said that players will notice that something is off whenever they venture to a new area.
"The visuals will be the other major factor in forging the tone and intention of the spaces," Preston wrote "Each environment uses a striking and specific palette to highlight landmarks, and they're littered with touches like reactive wildlife and intricate architecture. The world is long past its era of great carnage, but remnants are everywhere: craters from battles fought, wreckage from hulking machines grownover, bones from mammoth creatures, tubes of rotting experiments in ancient labs."
Hyper Light Drifter received $645,158 in funding (shattering its $27,000 goal) from over 24,000 backers on October 12, 2013. It's planned to release on PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, Wii U, and Ouya in mid-2014, with a beta occurring two months prior for backers.

Game looks awesome. It's getting harder to keep track of these coming to the PS4. There's a new one every day.
I really like the look of the game.
Big deal, it's going to be on PS4, so what. I got me an indie machine, Steam! I have to say, something about this game stirs me up. It looks like a gem. I hope this game does very well, I know I'll be buying this ASAP.
I'm really excited for this one.
These are the kind of unique experiences that the PS Vita needs, my purchase of the platform just makes me that much more happy to see all the original games coming out soon.
I've had my eye on this one for a while now. I think this will be a definite pick-up for me...on the PS4. (I feel vindicated in my next-gen console choice every time I hear about another fantastic indie game that is coming to PS4 but not XBox One.)
Wow this looks amazing.
I'll be getting this for my Wii U it looks.
Awesome! I'll be sure to buy this for my Wii U.
Sigh...it's on the Wii U. Of course it's on the Wii U. Why must the only system that is never going to have an Elder Scrolls game be SO MUCH DAMN FUN?
this looks like what is going on on the other side of the planet in adventure time...
Makes me wanna play Ecco the Dolphin...
Got this game backed, can't wait to get my hands on it.
So many indie games to keep up with.
This game looks horrible in my opinion.

I was the speaker for this webinar last week with AIIM and EMC. Here is the synopsis:
On the surface, implementing SharePoint as an enterprise content management solution seems simple and straightforward. After all, pop in your disk and, voila, SharePoint is installed. Yet, like every other single piece of information technology, deciding the proper role for SharePoint in your organization becomes complicated. Fast. How do you determine the role that SharePoint can play in your ECM strategy? We're here to help.
SharePoint can, and will, play a key role in many organizations' enterprise content management strategy. However, other than for some smaller companies, SharePoint is not an ECM infrastructure in and of itself; it needs to integrate with and be extended by other products for issues such as compliance, storage management, document imaging, etc. Discover how to leverage the capabilities of both SharePoint and ECM tools, including issues around interoperability. We'll conclude with a look at potential return on investment.

Investing in Risky Jurisdictions? Take Note
There is enough risk in investing without the added risk of political instability so why does the investment community often use the same metrics to value the shares of exploration and production of resources companies regardless of their location in the world? This is so very wrong, yet it continues. Frankly, when investing in the stock market you should always discount the value of the stock that you are considering buying if the jurisdiction is not historically safe, stable, and economically strong.
I have written extensively on the subject of country risk (both jurisdictional and political) in the past here, here and here but with recent events around the world my cautionary tale bares re-emphasizing.
Why Safety from Political Risk Warrants Little Attention
1. Analysts and investment houses give little emphasis to investing risk in unsafe jurisdictions because they are in the business of selling product. As I have revealed before (see here), investment houses need product to sell. They make their money not from successful investing. No, that would be too logical. They make their money when they sell something to you. It doesn't matter if it is a good investment or a bad investment. When you buy, they earn a commission. It is as simple as that.
2. Countries want investment dollars and downplay the risk of investing in their country. Two countries - Argentina & Colombia - who have had problems in the past, and until recently were considered "safe", have now hit the press.
a) Stephen Ferry of The New York Times wrote recently, regarding Colombia, that "Involvement of armed men has been a part of the history of mining in the country. Guerrillas and their paramilitary adversaries use mining to launder money and to extract extortion payments." As the "War on Drugs" makes drug trafficking more dangerous for the drug cartels, they are turning to other activities including kidnapping for ransom and extortion. More and more miners in the country are paying extortion money in order to stay in business. There are now stories of heavily armed men guarding the areas being mined to ensure that they are paid properly by the companies for any activities.
b) Hernán Scandizzo of Latinamerica Press wrote: "In early May, Argentina's Congress passed the Executive-driven Hydrocarbons Sovereignty law by an overwhelming majority. The entirety of the ruling party and a large part of opposition parties approved the legislation, which expropriated 51 percent of YPF's shares that were held by Spanish oil firm Repsol. It also declared self-sufficiency in hydrocarbons as well as in exploitation, industrialization, transportation and marketing to be "of national public interest and a primary objective of the country," and created the Federal Hydrocarbon Council.
Portfolio Composition
Given the above examples of Jurisdiction Risk and Political Risk it is very important to consider such in the composition of one's portfolio. When one considers creating a portfolio, diversification is very important. This is an accepted Investment Truism. If nothing else, the dramatic swings in stock values over the last 4 years should convince doubters.
Don't Gamble in the Stock Market
It is realistic that a small portion of a portfolio may be used for stock trading, or other forms of gambling but one should never gamble with an entire portfolio by heavily concentrating in a single sector, or in a single geographical location. Getting wiped out economically in not fun.
A corollary of the above Investing Truism is that a certain portion of a portfolio should be in juniors. The question is, "Which Juniors?" There are many companies in the exploration and development of natural resources to consider in many parts of the world and some of their stocks may be prone to getting beaten down because of Political and Jurisdictional Risk.
- When things are calm and everyone is optimistic, stocks tend to rise or fall based on the prospective value of the investment.
- When troubles or unrest crop up, or news of government interference crop up, stocks in these jurisdictions face a greater fall than those stocks not in those jurisdictions.
Investing Alternatives
South American Silver Corporation (TSX:SAC) is a company that is attempting to grow and advance one of the world's larger silver, indium and gallium resources in Bolivia. It is a good company, but it is an example of the above mentioned issues as noted in a recent press release from the company stating that "a small group of people carrying out illegal artisanal mining on exploration concessions owned by South American Silver have been encouraging confrontations between communities and attempting to interfere with work on the project. Groups associated with this illegal artisanal mining activity have joined with activists from outside the local community and have recently held protests in La Paz and are now protesting near the project site."
As a comparison to the issues of South American Silver, one may look at Quebec in Canada, which is one of the friendliest and most proactive mining jurisdictions in the world. Other Canadian provinces may not match the unique advantages than Quebec offers, but everywhere in Canada is safe, secure, and business friendly (with some grimaces when thinking about British Columbia). Below are some Canadian companies that have great value:
- Mines Virginia Inc. (TSX:VGQ): This is a gold producing company located in Quebec with excellent management, a good track record, some good resources and an active exploration and acquisition program.
- Golden Valley Mines (TSX-V: GZZ): This is a beaten up junior with experienced and involved management. They have a wide and diversified portfolio of projects and a management style that lets others spend the money in JV's. An issue with GZZ is that the market does not seem to recognize the value.
- Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX-V: ALS): This is a company with amazingly good assets. Its portfolio of projects, ownership of interests in other good companies, with real cash in hand now with more in the future, makes this stock a very compelling story.
To reiterate what I mentioned in the opening paragraph, when investing in the stock market ALWAYS discount the value of the stock that you are considering buying if the jurisdiction where the company's operations are taking place is not historically safe, stable, and economically strong.

Men. Where are they? More and more we are seeing single mom homes and no dads in sight. And it's not like mom's can't handle things on their own, but without dads, something is missing. (And let's be honest, sometimes, even when Dad is around, he's not present and active.)
When this happens, boys aren't seeing what it looks like to be the man of the house. They aren't seeing a good example of how to treat women. They aren't getting introduced to the concept of strength and wisdom that good dads provide.
When this happens, girls aren't seeing what it looks like to look up to the man of the house. They aren't seeing a good example of how they should be treated by men. They aren't getting introduced to the concept of strength and wisdom that good dads provide.
I don't know what I would do without my husband, particularly when it comes to our children. When he is on 3-11 shift, I miss him. Terribly. The kids know just how to push my buttons when he isn't around. They (even at 11 and 13) still try to get out of bed 50,000 times when he is not there. And by the end of the two weeks on that shift, both kids just want their daddy.
And I get it. I am an admitted daddy's girl. Always have been. When I would get a migraine, Dad would sit by my bed and help me relax so I could go to sleep. When I would have a bad day, it just took one look at Dad and the tears would flow as I was circled up into his arms. Dad and I love to do projects, particularly gardening, together, and we love to talk about the things of God. (To be fair, I love my mother to pieces and she is one of my best friends – but this post is about dads.)
There is something about knowing that my dad is always looking out for me, always loving me, and will never turn me away when I need him.
Yes, we moms do the same thing, but it is different with dads.
And it should be. Dads teach us different things than moms. Dads let us climb up on the roof and help him with the re-roofing project (when mom isn't home, of course). Dads teach us to be confident and able to stand on our own two feet. Dads teach us how to change the oil and a tire. Dads teach us how to step out and take risks. It's not that moms can't teach these things, but as moms, we tend to be more protective and we want to hover. Dads let us figure things out on our own, even if that means they let us fail.
Now, I know that with the divorce rate in our country, coupled with tragic circumstances and other things, it is not always possible for dad to be in the picture. But, that means that it becomes very important for the single moms out there to find quality men for their children to spend time with and learn from. And that means that men need to step up to help out those single moms and mentor their children.
I know this may not be a popular post with some people, but we truly need good dads. Period. We need men that are involved in the lives of their children and are raising them up to be Godly, productive members of society. We need dads who show unconditional love. We need dads who make an effort to be present and accounted for in their families.
Our children need them, and our society needs them.

Facts, as they say, are facts. On the other hand, untrue representations presented as facts are either uninformed, intentionally disingenuous, or a combination of the two. Secretary of State Kerry's statements attacking those who challenge the existence of a human-caused climate crisis likely fall into the third category.
Speaking at a February 16 press conference in a U.S. Embassy-run American Center held at a shopping mall in Jakarta, Indonesia Kerry described climate change as the world's "most fearsome weapon of mass destruction". He also referred to those who don't subscribe to that hell-in-a-hand basket global warming apocalypse as "Flat-Earthers".
Kerry told the audience: "We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts. The science is unequivocal, and those who refuse to believe it are simply burying their heads in the sand. We don't have time for a meeting anywhere of the Flat Earth Society."
First of all, let's briefly review just a few real facts:
There has been no statistical global warming for the past 17 years…most of today's high school students haven't witnessed it in their lifetimes.
Kerry's Very Original Talking Points Speech Writer
Perhaps the content and tone of Secretary Kerry's pronouncements will strike some people as familiar, dating back to the U.N.'s 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro aimed at ginning up Kyoto Protocol support. Speaking at the opening ceremony, its organizing chairman, Canadian billionaire Maurice Strong, said "Every bit of evidence I've seen persuades me that we are on a [climate] course leading to a tragedy."
Bear in mind here that this "persuading evidence" appeared just 12 years after three and one-half decades of flat or cooling temperatures had persuaded many scientists to conclude that the next Ice Age was nigh. Lots of major news publications trumpeted this alarm in headline articles.
Strong has never left any doubt where he places greatest blame for global climate and environmental problems, stating that "The United States is clearly the greatest risk to the world's ecological health".
As he explained in the U.N.'s world Commission on Environment and Development (UNCED) August 28, 1991 report: "It is clear that the current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, ownership of motor vehicles, small electric appliances, home and work place conditioning and suburban housing is not sustainable… A shift is necessary towards lifestyles less geared to environmentally-damaging consumption patterns."
Maurice Strong - certainly no common run-of-the-mill billionaire – has an extremely interesting and active background. Early-on he and his wife, Hanne, an occultist, established a global headquarters in San Luis Valley, Colorado, for the New Age movement called "Baca", after a mystic informed them it "would become the center for a new planetary order which would evolve from the economic collapse and environmental catastrophes that would sweep the globe in the years to come."
As a close associate of Secretary General Kofi Anan, Strong was appointed to chair the panel that created the U.N.'s Iraq office for its "Oil-For-Food" program. Introduced by the Clinton administration in 1995 under a U.N. Security Council Resolution, the program's intended purpose was to allow Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for food, medicine and other humanitarian needs of its needy citizens without allowing Saddam Hussein's regime to boost its military capabilities. As it turned out, however, the program also provided lots of humanitarian aid to some very non-needy financial recipients, and was later ended after revelations of corruption hit the press.
One of those found guilty of attempting to bribe U.N. program officials overseeing the Oil-for-Food program was Tongsun Park, a South Korean businessman who had sublet office space from Maurice Strong. Coincidentally, it seems, Park also invested nearly $1 million paid from his Jordanian bank account in Strong's family business…one which later went bankrupt.
During the scandal Strong declared no wrongdoing or involvement in Oil-for-Food, and was never charged. He then left the U.N. that year and moved to Beijing where his close friendships with top Chinese government leaders dated back to the Cultural Revolution under Mao Tse-tung.
But count on Maurice to come back Strong when there's a good opportunity to cash in on fossil-fueled climate alarm, reentering through the green curtains of the anti-carbon scam stage as chairman of the China Carbon Corporation, and vice chairman of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX).
As I discussed in my February 11 column, passage of the international Kyoto Protocol plus proposed carbon cap-and-trade legislation in the U.S. promised a windfall profit bonanza for renewable energy subsidy seekers and their offset credit trading cronies. Al Gore's famous and feverish 1988 congressional hearings trumpeting global warming danger, along with his frightening "An Inconvenient Truth" science fiction movie set the stage for a media thriller.
A less-publicized and more truly inconvenient truth at the time was that Gore and his partner David Blood, the former chief of Goldman Sachs Asset Management who held big stakes in CCX would have been huge winners if cap-and-trade hopes hadn't been swept way in the 2010 mid-term election Republican House cleaning. Speaking before a 2007 Joint House hearing of the Energy Science Committee, Gore told members: "As soon as carbon has a price, you're going to see a wave [of investment] in it…There will be unchained investment."

ECMAScript 3.1 Final Draft Emerges
Also known as ECMAScript 5th Edition, the new JavaScript standard has entered final draft stage. Among the goodies: a formal getter and setter syntax for object properties, language reflection features, support for the JSON data format, additional Array methods, and a strict mode that improves error checking.
Function.prototype.bind(self, args...). A bind function wraps a function in a closure, storing references to the context arguments from the surrounding scope. This is somewhat equivalent to the following:
Function.prototype.bind = function(context) { var fun = this; return function(){ return fun.apply(context, arguments); }; };
Applications include partial application of arguments to a function and currying. Though you can custom-roll one today, a native bind function in 3.1 should outperform any equivalent user-defined function.
reduce, and
reduceRight. There's a good description of each method here.
ECMAScript 3.1, also known as JavaScript Harmony, is the less ambitious version of what was to be JavaScript 2/ECMAScript 4, a plan scuttled when some members of ECMA balked at the large additions to the language.
The new specification is available here.
Google Releases Eclipse Plugin
Hot on the heels of the announcement that Java can now be used with the Google App Engine, the Google Plugin for Eclipse has been released, supporting both Google Web Toolkit and Google App Engine development.
GWT Features:
- Recognition of inline JavaScript (JSNI): syntax highlighting, auto-indenting, Java Search and Refactoring integration
- GWT compiler shortcuts and configuration UI
- Wizards to create entry points, modules and HTML pages
- Support for GWT JUnit tests
App Engine Features:
- Easy deployment to App Engine
- As-you-type validation ensures that your code is compatible with App Engine
- Build projects and 'enhance' JDO classes automatically without the need for ANT
The user's manual for the plugin is here. The plugin works with both Eclipse 3.4 (update site) and 3.3 (update site).
Dojo Toolkit 1.3 Released
Simultaneous with the Dojo 1.3 release is the release of the PlugD, a library allows Dojo developers to mimic some of the popular aspects of jQuery (method chaining, as well as many similarly-named convenience methods).
The full release notes can be found here. You can download the new release here.
Animal Swap - A Fun Free Flash Game
Not that long ago I mentioned that I have been working on a few fun Flash games. The first game that is finished is called Animal Swap and is a simple pattern matching puzzle game.
The game is very simple and hopefully addictive. If anybody is interested in coding a Flash game and wants to see the source code, just send me a note and I can send it to you.
You can play the game here
You can find more games including this one at my other site wastingtimegames.com.
I'd love to get your thoughts on this game, so feel free to leave a comment about it.
Canvas 3D - The future of the web?
Today I ran across a cool 3D world terrain texture map demo. The demo is made using Canvas 2D with the 3D code written in JavaScript. The demo runs in Firefox 3, Safari 3 and Chrome. This got me thinking about the future of the web and if we will see a lot of 3D on the web.
Mozilla is working on a Canvas 3D plug-in to ship with a future version of Firefox what will be using a simplified version of OpenGL. The hope is that some cool apps will be made using this plug-in and that will force other browsers to use some form of Canvas 3D (and eventually adhere to standards). So, if some very cool on-line game or useful charting application is made in 3D it is possible that we will be coming up with some interesting 3D user interfaces using Canvas 3D in the future (hopefully in the near future).
This brings up the question of what would you use 3D on the web to do? Do you think it would be useful or just fun? The answers to these questions could shape the future of the web.
You can see the demo here.
JavaScript as a Functional Language
Douglas Crockford, author of the JSON data format, has written that JavaScript as a language is like a "Lisp in C's clothing":
JavaScript's C-like syntax, including curly braces and the clunky for statement, makes it appear to be an ordinary procedural language. This is misleading because JavaScript has more in common with functional languages like Lisp or Scheme than with C or Java.
This is a really interesting statement, especially if you are used to looking at JavaScript code like this:
var myGlobal = ...; function myProceduralFunction() { // ... }
Don't laugh...you've probably written JavaScript like this at one time or another. I certainly did, before I really understood JavaScript. For a long time, this is how most people grokked JavaScript, as a kind of dynamically typed C/C++. There are also those who try to make JavaScript behave as a Java-style OOP language (a natural tendency, given the misnomer): using nested objects as package-style "namespaces", trying to make prototypical inheritance look like static class inheritance, etc. It's all a bit of a stretch, but since JavaScript does actually borrow many OOP concepts, it can be done. I would argue, though, that Crockford is right and JavaScript is more naturally used as a functional language. In this article I am going to briefly examine some of the similarities between JavaScript and functional programming languages, and how the JavaScript programmer can use them to his/her advantage.
Back to the 90's
It's Friday and everyone wishes it was Saturday. Wouldn't it be great to get a jump start on your weekend video game playing. Well, while surfing the web I found a great Doom clone written in Flash (so you can play it once the boss leaves early on Friday, but I wasn't the one that said that). The game is an exact clone of the 90's classic and is still a lot of fun to play.
You can play the game here.
Update: I had the wrong link above (it took you to a link to the game), here is the direct link.
Pligg 1.0.0 RC3 Available
You may have read my posts on Having Fun with Pligg. In the series of posts I have been talking about setting up a Pligg site using Pligg 1.0.0 RC2. Well, Pligg 1.0.0 RC3 has been released and this will be the final release candidate, so you may want to upgrade your Pligg instance.
Below is an excerpt from the announcement.
Our final version of the release candidate line for Pligg, Pligg 1.0.0 RC3, is available for download now. This version introduces a new admin category page (seen below) and a number of bug fixes including better support for Search Engine Optimized (SEO) URLs and foreign languages. We are only a couple weeks away from a final version of Pligg, which we expect will be picked up by a lot of web hosts and template providers.
You can read more about Pligg 1.0.0 RC3 (including a link to the download) here.
Explorer Canvas Release 3
Explorer Canvas, otherwise known as the little JavaScript library that allows you to use VML while still coding in HTML 5 Canvas (thank heaven), has released the third version of the library. The major reason for the release is compatibility with Internet Explorer 8, but there are numerous other bug fixes and improvements in the release. A comprehensive list of changes is here.
You can download the new release here.
New Clojure Release (3-20-2009)
One of the most interesting new languages to emerge recently is Clojure, a dialect of LISP (a very old language) that runs on the JVM and contains an implementation of software transactional memory (STM) in the core of the language itself.
Hot off the presses (Rich Hickey hasn't even blogged about it yet) is a new release for 2009-03-20. Contained in the download zip are the release notes with all of the bug fixes since the previous release in December of last year.
Anyone who hasn't explored Clojure (or who thinks that LISP is when someone talks funny) should definitely check out Rich Hickey's screencasts over at blip.tv.

GOP candidate and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will dine with reality TV star and real estate mogul Donald Trump on Monday, reports Fox News. Romney will follow in the footsteps of GOP candidate and Texas Governor Rick Perry and former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, both of whom have met with Trump in the past.


text: I just finished setting up my new saw. The Blade and the belt seem to be in proper alignment and parallel to the table, but the fence rail measurement is large on the right rip by 3/16". The blade also is off center in it's slot by about the same amount. Do I need to adjust the blade which would also force me to move the motor along with it to keep the belt aligned or can I just slide the rails over so they measure properly? Right now the blade is fully functional at all height and bevel settings, but If I am going to have move the blade to cut a dado then I want to do it now.

Mitt Romney and his detail….Photo….thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com
Rick Santorum's campaign asked for the Secret Service protection last week…
Newt Gingrich's campaign just put in the request which goes thru the Service to it's boss Homeland Security to the White House and
The Congress which will authorize the request in providing details…
Herman Cain had a Secret Service protective detail for brief time early in the 2012 GOP campaign …..
Protective details mean 24/7 Secret Service protection…..
The Service will request local and state police escorts…
The campaign will have to provide support for travel by the detail's which shadow their protectee…..
That means motorcades, rope lines, security checks and less access to the candidates….
And yes street closures and people screening at events……
The cost of this protection is paid by the US taxpayer….
Reid Cherlin, who is covering the Republican primaries for GQ magazine and worked on President Obama's first campaign and in his White House, said that having a Secret Service detail "complicates things" for everyone involved.
"Especially in retail-focused states, all of a sudden roads are closed, there are traffic jams, people can't get close to the candidate, the local press feels mishandled," he said. "So there you are cruising down a two-lane blacktop in a tiny town at 80 miles per hour in these black S.U.V.'s. It can be a fun spectacle in a bigger city, but in tiny towns where people want to meet the candidate, it can be a problem."
"It can create sort of a P.R. challenge," he added.
Grandmothers who simply want their books signed might be accidentally jostled, and local donors cannot always be taken backstage to meet the candidate. People will have to be screened — often passing through a metal detector — to enter campaign events, creating yet another layer of hassle and frustration for potential supporters along with enhanced safety and isolation for the candidate. (Being glitter-bombed — protesters showered Mr. Romney with cans full of glitter as he took the stage in Minnesota on Wednesday — might not have happened with the Secret Service on the job.)

Communication with gods is not like communication with spirits. Each one is very different in the way they communicate. Some are very auspicious, others are more straight forward. Half the time it isn't in English nor a language I know, and I need to go hunting the translation.
I feel that communication with them grows, the longer the bond with them has gone on. For instance, when I first began work with Morrigan, I did not see her or hear her. She also sent other spirits to represent Her or do Her work. I feel that people that chit chat with their deities are not speaking to the deity themselves but a messenger that represents that higher being.
When I did rituals involving her, I commonly heard crows or ravens outside or physically heard them in my house when they weren't there. This was my "sign" that she answered me. After about 3 years, I actually experienced her as a full physical manifestation in my home. I have never experienced that with her again. It was a one time thing. This really sealed my belief in her however, and I believe that's why she did it. I had strayed away from her during the time.
10 years into her being my patroness and I am now capable of journeying to her when I'm in need of guidance. It is far from chit chat however, and I always get a sense if she actually wants to speak with me at all. I generally ask one single question and she talks then leaves. It is not a back and forth conversation. I listen carefully. Then I write it down immediately afterwards so that I can read and re-read her wisdom. I get more from it each time I read it as time goes on and I age. Most of our communication is more of urges, signs, and instincts through the bond then words or images.
Other times that I have encountered deities, they have been very intrusive, forceful, and blunt. It's generally an extremely intense experience that leaves me with absolutely no doubt that I was in the presence of an extremely strong being. Sometimes there are physical obvious signs/omens found directly afterward as if they couldn't get more undeniable.
Lesser known, unknown, or lesser gods are generally more sociable and "human", most likely because they were once human. Remember many religions teach people to strive to achieve godliness themselves. "Heaven" was originally a place of ascension of the spirit not an eternal vacation spot for dead people.

Wonderful Day
I went down to Goulburn, last Wednesday and from there went out to Mummell. Mummell is where my Grandma, Louisa Abberton nee Nichol taught school. The building is still standing and I have been trying to contact the owner. Well he was there and showed us around and gave us some more history of the area. I didn't realise that it was such a big community, in the 1880's. Now to do some more research on it!

BOL on your card all tonight fellas. It has to be twolves or no play. lakers have no heart and i think most have given up on them after the meltdown in Phoenix
Hit again with the thunder -10 last night. in the last week every -8, -9, -10, -11 i bet I have hit with the exception of the pathetic lakers. (new orleans at LAL)
the only other bet i lost in the last week was lakers -3 at suns
I used to be afraid to lay 8 or more pts but it has been cosntant winners of late. Continue the Orlando fade tonight? They are a 15+ pt road loss every game of late
lets try to all stay hot, enjoy the weekend
Originally Posted by MrBator: The Lakers have been terrible all season on the road, but lately they're simply pathetic. How pathetic? Consider the following.Prior to the Lakers visit to Toronto on the 20th, the Raptors had lost four in a row. They lost a home game to the Bucks, a road game to the Nets, a home game in overtime to the Bulls, and then a road game in overtime to the Sixers, a game in which they blew a 64-45 lead. And then the Lakeshow came to town and the Raptors led from start to finish.Prior to the Lakers visit to Chicago on the 21st, the Bulls had just played three games in the previous five days, with all three of them having gone into overtime. Physically and mentally exhausting, eh? And then the Lakeshow came to town and the Bulls won easily by double digits.Prior to the Lakers visit to Memphis on the 23rd, the Grizzlies had just finished an amazing stretch of six games in a row in which they had failed to score more than 85 points in any of them. Wow! (one of those games even went into OT!) And then the Lakeshow came to town and the Grizzlies rolled up 106.Prior to the Lakers visit to Phoenix two days ago, the Suns had lost 4 of their last 5 at home, and 15 of their last 19 overall. And then the Lakeshow came to town and the Suns outscored them 29-13 in the 4th quarter for the win.Next stop is tonight in Minnesota. The T-Wolves have gone 2-11 SU & 3-10 ATS since Kevin Love broke his hand in Denver on January 3rd. Can the Lakeshow even handle these wimps? I wouldn't bet on it!
In the Lakers' last road game vs PHX they looked MUCH better than against TOR, CHI or MEM where I agree, they were pathetic. At least w/ PHX, they had a DD lead in the 4Q.
And talk about pathetic. Minny is 3-10 ATS and 2-11 SU since Love got injured. Minny is a train wreck right now.
This seems like a game to lay off.
just wanted 2 let you know theone that i will count the ucla play as a loss. I wouldn't have counted it a win had it won. Don't worry theone i won't be posting my hoops plays the rest of the season. So in a sense you won theone. I've been honest fromd ay 1 on here. with my record and juice etc and yet i'm honest once more and get killed for it. Don't worry theone i won't eb a bother anymore
10-14 on the season -$1,400 happy now?
I dont want to hi-jack theone's thread here, but dude, you need to not take this site so seriously. You make posts and picks and that's great and everything, but if you don't get the number of replies you want, you start talking about how noone respects you and all this. Take it easy, post your picks, and if they win, you'll get respect. No need to be a weirdo about it. As far as cancelling your pick, c'mon dude, you know you're gunna get torched for that. Even if you did cancel it, noone is gunna buy that stuff.
As bad as the Lakers are - and as a big Laker fan - I completely agree they're a train wreck - Minnesota is 2-11 SU since Love got hurt.
Why do people want to back a team that's only won 15% of its games after Love got hurt, when you're getting roughly even money???

Madison Initiative
Architect of the Capitol
What will it take for members of the United States Congress to deliberate, negotiate, and compromise in ways that more Americans support? The Hewlett Foundation's Madison Initiative is joining with former and current government leaders, nonprofit advocates, academic researchers and other funders to answer this question.
Our grants support organizations working to address the intense political polarization and hyper-partisanship that have made it so difficult in recent years for Congress to fulfill its responsibilities as the first branch of our government. We are nonpartisan in approach, and seek to help create the conditions in which Congress can craft solutions to our country's most pressing challenges.

Give up!
Do you ever feel like giving up?
I do most days. :/
this time? not really- I mean I did have a day last week ( Saturday morning-after being stuck for 5 weeks at 174-175) but I got over it, and NEVER thought of actually quitting. We were going to a wedding that night anyway, so I just took a day or two- did what I wanted and then got back to it on Monday. I have not been back on the scale either...
When I lost about 65 lbs the first time - I swore I'd never be fat again. It took 2 yrs to lose it, but shortly after getting where I wanted to be, we moved to a state where I had no friends or family, and I didn't have my full time cleaning job anymore, and we got stuck living in a hotel room for 2-3 weeks waiting for our house stuff to get done. I ended up gaining like 10 lbs back pretty quickly, then tried to maintain, but it kept coming back anyway so I said screw it- if I can't maintain while eatig 1500 calories a day, then I give up...and here I am again-losing that 65 I lost before PLUS another 20 or so...ugh
moral of that story- DO NOT QUIT or give up!
I'm finally getting to a point that I feel good about my weight loss though, so I'm good to go for right now. Ask me again in about 2 weeks when AF comes to town. Lol
stick with it! You can do it!
Yes but then I try to squeeze into my jean and realize giving up won't get me to where I want to be :). Keep at it!
I backed off a little but I've been doing this for about a year now. 7 months full balls to the wall so it's become a habit. I know that I've come soooo far and gotten so strong and lost the weight that I REFUSE to give that up.
It's become as habit as brushing my teeth. If I don't go to the gym or do something, I feel sluggish and icky. It's just one of those things that once you really get your head in the game, for real, it become a habit.
I hate working out but I hate myself more when I don't workout. Kwim?
My motivation comes from 2 places:
1. My career path. I HAVE to pass a portion of my academy that is strictly fire training and I need a lot of strength and agility. If I don't pass, there goes my career.
2. Myself, my body, my son. I feel like a boss leaving the gym, I see the change in my body and I want my son to see his mom live for fitness, i enjoy him coming to help me or join in. I want to set an excellent example for him, too.
3. My trainer. He is the one who has got me to where I am now! Without him, there is no way I would be where I am doing this on my own. His style of training is wonderful.
Most of the time I'd rather just lay in bed and say eff it. Lol.
Today, I went into the gym and was welcomed by an applause by staff and other regulars :) Someone gave my trainer word that i passed my really important exam and then word got round the gym. I love it! Who wouldn't want to come to a gym like that!
We all want to give up at a times...but remember this is a lifestyle change and NOT a diet. So, you are just fine to have bad days mama. Hugs and stick with it! You can do this!
This! I am to the point that it really has become more about the lifestyle change then a diet. Are there days I an not as strict? Definitely! I tend to be a little easier on myself calorie wise on the weekends when we are out and about with family and friends - but, I still make sure to get in my exercise to help off-set it.
My DH is working today, and it would be so easy to have a "lazy day" at home today. But we are taking some down time this AM... Then it is off to breakfast, to run errands, dropping DD off with my M-in-L @ a local campground (where they are staying) to visit and hang out for the day - after that my DS and I will hit some walking trails down in Acadia.
Quoting darbyakeep45:
We all want to give up at a times...but remember this is a lifestyle change and NOT a diet. So, you are just fine to have bad days mama. Hugs and stick with it! You can do this!
I made up my mind to be strict and hardly any cheating. I have had only water in these 9 weeks. I don't miss other drinks now at all.
I agree with the person that it is a lifestyle change, not a diet. I call it a forever diet.
ALL THE TIME...But, at the end of the day, I give a big ole sigh...and think,
"Tomorrow is a brand new day, with a brand new beginning!"

As we've previously discussed, the current NHL penis-measuring contest is slated for a big decision on Saturday. If the NHL owners and Players Association can't come to an agreement by then, the NHL lockout will be a reality and it's all going to get a whole lot uglier, because neither side learned anything from the NBA and NFL lockouts of 2011, except maybe that if you cancel a third of the season, your ratings will still be great. And if that's what the NHL owners and executives are hoping for, well, good f*cking luck.
Last night, though, there was a glimmer of hope in this otherwise bleak offseason, as David Canter Tweeted that the owners and NHLPA had come to a surprise agreement and that the season was saved. It should be noted that Canter is a football agent, so what the hell does he know? Well, he knows what Pierre McGuire tells him.
Too bad the Pierre McGuire in question was a "parody" account. Needless to say, Canter spent the next few hours dishing out apologies to pissed off Tweeters in one of the most remarkably sad mea culpas you'll see this year.
So where do we actually stand in regard to getting this season underway on October 11? Well, neither side has contacted the other since August 31 and Canadian players are already challenging the work stoppage in court to make sure they're paid during the lockout. Translated: Ain't looking good, hosers.
Donald Fehr, who took over as union head two years ago, said his players are resigned to a work stoppage, which would follow lockouts last year in the NFL and the NBA.
"A lot of them think that pure and simply they were taken advantage of last time and the owners want to take advantage of them again," he said during an interview Monday at the union's New York office. "It sorts of looks exactly what happened in hockey the last time and exactly how it played out in basketball and football so far. But I hope not." (Via CTV News)
And players are definitely not optimistic about where everything stands, as they're already looking at spending a nice Halloween and Thanksgiving at home.
"I hear November, December and New Year's," Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask said. "But no one really knows."
Asked if anyone was talking about October, he said: "No."
So yeah, Saturday's going to be a pretty sad day for hockey fans.

Help the town of Profitville with your packing skills! Profitville is a game for the whole family. It draws inspiration from the classic "shape sorter"-toys.
Profitville introduces an original gaming concept where the main goal is to pack dozens of different products into corresponding boxes. This has to be done before the items roll off from the conveyor belts. The player also takes advantage of several other actions like linking boxes and making combos. There are also several helpful machines, power-ups, and numerous other twists in this truly one-of-a-kind game.
Profitville has two game modes that provide hours of action packed fun. The player can see the town improve as he returns the prosperity back to Profitville! Will you save Profitville?

For all intents and purposes, feral cats are wild animals. If you find a feral kitten, you can, through love and a whole lot of patience, tame it. It is rare that an adult feral cat can be tamed, but these same techniques can be applied to adult cats, and is some cases we have seen success.
By taming a feral kitten, you are preparing that kitten to be placed for adoption. You will be turning a hissy, spitting little demon into a sweet, playful kitten that can have a wonderful indoor home. It can be a long and time-consuming process, depending on the age of the kitten (the younger the kitten, the more easily that kitten can be tamed), but taming a feral kitten will be one of the most rewarding acts of kindness you will ever give to another creature. We suggest trying to tame kittens 6 weeks and younger. After that, taming is very difficult and might not be possible.
Set up a temporary home.
If you have a litter of kittens, the first thing you need to do is separate them. If you do not separate the kittens, your rate of success goes way down and the time it takes to tame that kitten will go way up. Place each kitten into its own large kennel, along with a comfy place to sleep, a litter box, and dry food and water. If you need kennels, we can loan you some. It can also be beneficial to leave a TV or radio playing to get the kittens used to human voices and sounds. Let the cat get used to its new environment for 24 hours before moving on to the next steps.
Handling Feral Kittens
Feral kittens will hiss, spit, and even bite you if scared enough. To a feral kitten, you are a predator, and the hissiest kitten is often the most scared. Wear gloves and protective clothing if you feel it is necessary. It can be scary reaching your hand in to pick them up and hold them, but if you don't, the kitten will never come around.
Pick up a feral kitten from behind, on its scruff —firmly grasp the the loose skin at the top of the neck of the cat, and pick it up. Immediately draw the cat into your stomach and secure it with a towel or your arm. Caress the cats head, cheek, chin, and back. Talk softly while petting the cat for about 5 minutes at first, and increase the duration each time, so that you are eventually spending 20–30 minutes several times a day with the kitten.
Do this as often as you can, and before long, the cat will look forward to your visits. This is the single most important act to do that will tame up that kitten. We have seen some success with kitten tamers making a pouch by turning up the bottom of a sweatshirt and securing the back so the kitten is close by your body warmth. Carry the kitten around in this pouch so long as its secure.
Food Rewards
Feeding time is a great way to move the cat along in the socialization process. Keep dry food and water in the kennel at all times. Feed the kitten wet food only while you are in the room and watching, so that the kitten associates you with the yummy stuff. Put wet food down next to the kitten. If the cat won't eat with you standing next to it, move back until it does. If it won't eat it at all, remove the food and try again another day.
Once the kitten starts eating the wet food, move closer and closer until your hand is next to food, and eventually, touch and pet the kitten while it is eating. If the kitten stops eating when you get too close, back off and try again later. Remember, patience is key!
Get some soft treats, and start giving them to your kitten. Place them next to the kitten. Before you know it, the kitten will be taking them directly from your hand.
Do not start this step till your kitten is comfortable being held. Take the kitten out of its kennel, making sure it is in a safe room, with the door shut and nowhere to hide or get away. Get yourself a toy on a string, or just a string, and encourage playing. If one of the other littermates is more comfortable than another, let them play together. Kittens will learn from watching each other, so if one starts going for the string, the others will soon follow. Kittens do not usually start playing till around 3–4 weeks of age. Never let a kitten attack your hand–that can encourage bad behavior later in life!Note: All string toys used for any cat should be thick and not easily ingested. Anything thinner than a shoelace is too thin and once a cat gets it into its mouth, it is unable to spit it back out. Cats can eat a long piece of string and eventually wind up with a very expensive vet bill, if not death.
Meeting New Friends
It is common for feral kittens to become attached to their caregiver, but still act feral around newcomers. Once your kitten is comfortable being held, invite other people in your household or friends to hold, play, and feed the kitten. This will help get your kitten adjusted to new people and experiences. The more people your kitten meets, the more socialized and ready for adoption she will be!
Making Progress
Taming feral kittens is time-consuming and often frustrating if things don't progress as quickly as you had hoped. So how do you know you're making progress? Every kitten is different, but there are a few things to watch for to let you know that you are on the right track.
You'll know you're making progress when:
- The kitten begins purring while being held and petted
- The kitten is eating wet food or treats out of your hand
- The kitten is actively playing with you
These may all happen at once, or each milestone may take its own sweet time.
What if your kitten never comes around?
First of all, don't blame yourself. Taming feral kittens is a tough job, and not every kitten can be tamed. Sometimes you will end up with one super sweet kitten, while its litter-mate remains shy and scared, even though you took all the same steps. It is rare, but if this happens, the best thing to do is spay or neuter your kitten at 8 weeks of age, give the appropriate vaccinations, and find your kitten a suitable outdoor home. We can help you relocate an outdoor cat if you decided to go this route.

Franchise news
Frames N Panes experiences rapid expansion across Western Canada
Frames N Panes, the home-based mobile franchise bringing its revolutionary new repair process to home and business owners, enabling them to restore, instead of replace, window frames, panes and screens, has announced that it has sold its 14th territory, which includes Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, and Regina, Saskatchewan. The company has, it says, experienced rapid growth across western Canada, including Alberta and British Columbia, since selling its first franchise, located in Medicine Hat, Alberta in July of 2009.
"The reason for our rapid expansion is because we provide unique, affordable and convenient solutions for PVC window frame repair, dual-pane moisture removal, and screen and scratch repair, that eliminate the need for customers to remove their windows," said Cory Kohlman, president and founder of Frames N Panes. "We are mobile, so all of our restoration and repair services are done at the customer's location, quickly, cost-effectively and correctly the first time."
According to the information provided, Frames N Panes repairs almost any type of PVC frame damage, whether it's a small brad nail hole, cigarette burn, surface scratch, router mark, hammer hole or from hail, and returns it to factory condition. For dual-pane windows, the company has developed a new technology for moisture removal that significantly reduces healing time. Frames N Panes can also perform a test on the window even if there is no visible moisture, to prevent problems from occurring. Window screens are repaired on site, and Frames N Panes now offers a scratch removal system that can be used on all types of glass, as well as on acrylic, polyester and polycast.
"We look forward to continuing to expand our franchises across Canada, as well as in the U.S.," Kohlman said. "We are looking for franchisees who are aggressive, hungry for success, strong leaders, results-oriented and excited about long-term sustained growth. Our goal is to create a powerful brand while helping our franchise team members achieve success." (kbp)

Firstly it is important to understand that Wicca is in no way related to the beliefs and practices of the Celts. This is an excellent article on that topic: http://www.clannada.org/wicca.php
That being said, most who practice something they refer to as "Celtic Wicca" mean that they are practicing Wicca that includes Gods and Goddesses drawn from one or more of the Celtic pantheons. So if you read on the beliefs and practices of Wicca and honor a Celtic God and a Celtic Goddess then you are presumably practicing "Celtic Wicca".
You could also read up on the practices of modern Druidry, which is very loosely based on Celtic lore and then include those in your Wiccan practice.
Remember that we know next to nothing about the religion of the many Celtic tribes other than the names of some of their Deities as the Celts had no written language and did not pass on their tales. What passes for Celtic beliefs these days almost certainly is nothing like what the ancient Celts believed.

By Duncan Johnstone
Rising New Zealand heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker will finally get to fire his shots against Sherman "The Tank" Williams.
The durable fighter from the Bahamas was confirmed today as Parker's opponent for his October 16 bout in West Auckland.
Parker was due to fight Williams in April on the Wladimir Klitschko undercard in Germany.
But Williams, who was a sparring partner for Klitschko, was tossed out of the world champion's camp and sent home, leaving Parker to dispose of late substitute Marcelo Nascimento (Brazil) with a seventh round knockout on the glamour night in Oberhausen.
Williams felt hard done-by and voiced a desire to get a crack at Parker. His wish has now been granted.
Promoted as a durable journeyman who has only been knocked out once in 52 fights, Williams faces a tough night against Parker who is making rapid progress in the pro ranks, revelling in a heavy workload being thrown at him by trainer Kevin Barry and promoters Duco Events.
While Williams hasn't fought since last November, Parker faces another fight before their showdown at Trusts Stadium.
Parker, fresh off last Saturday's knockout win over American Brian Minto, will fight an opponent still to be named in Pennsylvania on August 10 on the undercard of a promotion headed by well-regarded Ukranian heavyweight Vyacheslav Glazkov.
New Zealand light-heavyweight Robbie Berridge will also feature on the Pennsylvania card, fighting Russian Vasily Lepikhin.
Lepikhin is unbeaten over 15 fights and holds the Russian title. His handlers see Berridge, who is ranked No 10 by the WBO, has an ideal chance for their man to make a quick advance.
The 1.92m Lepikhin will have a height and reach advantage but Berridge will back the punching power that has seen him win 20 of his 26 fights by knockout.
