A week ago, I met nikole, and I am still grinning from the experience. It all started when she told me, out of the blue (online) that she had something for me. I was beaming inside, because, I do not get messages like that on a daily basis. I don't think too many people do! Especially from someone you have never met. If you do, then the only conclusion is that you are an incredibly happy person! Lucky you!
We ate a small lunch at a little cheese shop, and we chatted non-stop! We stayed so long, that they gave us complimentary cupcakes for dessert. I guess they thought all that chatting must make us hungry again!
It turned out, she was saving this water made from clouds for me. And to go along with it, she made these adorable and delicious cookies shaped in raindrops, and ice cream! I felt so lucky to be a recipient of one of her edible masterpieces!
Everything was so stylishly put together, a perfect parcel. A perfect, themed parcel! I loved it.
Read her story here
See her masterpieces here, and here.

It was the top of the ninth inning on a spring day in 1927 when Detroit Tigers player Johnny Neun made baseball history. The Tigers were leading the Cleveland Indians, 1-0, when first baseman Neun took the field.
Two batters later, Cleveland had runners at first and second.
But when the third batter lined a ball down the first baseline at Navin Field (later Tiger Stadium), Neun caught it on the fly, tagged the runner off first and tagged second base before that runner could return.
Game over. It was the first — and so far only — Detroit Tigers unassisted triple play.
Like Neun, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy is turning an unprecedented Triple Play right here in Michigan — but ours is far from unassisted.
In fact, the Mackinac Center Triple Play could not happen without the phenomenal outpouring of generous support that we have seen in the past year from our donors. We have already raised $1,611,000 toward the $1,650,000 Triple Play matching grant that a longtime donor group offered early in 2011.
This means that we have only about $40,000 yet to raise in gifts or pledges to complete this dollar-for-dollar matching grant opportunity, likely far in advance of the July 31, 2013, deadline.
We take this as a testament to the ideals we share with friends like you — limited government, free enterprise and self-reliance — and as support for the three key objectives of our Triple Play campaign:
In the center of this issue you will find a list that captures how your support is helping the Center advance policy goals. Last year alone brought significant legislative triumphs, often in concord with or inspired by ideas the Mackinac Center has long recommended, such as lifting the cap on charter public schools and putting sensible restraints on government worker benefit spending.
More than 750 of our supporters increased their giving in 2011 to support the Triple Play campaign and help us secure this dollar-for-dollar matching grant, while more than 1,200 people joined the Mackinac Center for the first time. Many sent along encouraging notes like these:
"I thank you for your work to support sensible government."
"I follow you on Facebook and read (your) other publications, print and on-line.
Keep up the great work!"
"Please find enclosed our donation. ... So that you may continue the fight for our freedom."
"Continue the fight" is a good way to describe our outlook for 2012.
Even as we push ahead to raise the final $40,000 in this campaign and bring about further policy success in Lansing, we also are beginning work on two additional matching grants in 2012:
You can make a gift to either of these grants by using the enclosed reply envelope. Please make checks payable to Mackinac Center for Public Policy and note your choice of grant(s) in the memo. You also can donate online at www.mackinac.org.
Just as Johnny Neun's remarkable triple play didn't mark the end of his career in baseball (he would play several more years in the major leagues, followed by decades of managing and scouting), the success of our Triple Play campaign doesn't signal the end of our work, either.
If you have any questions about our 2012 matching grant opportunities, I invite you to contact me directly at the office at 989-631-0900 or by email at email@example.com.

The DVD will be preceded by the release of a companion CD. The duo were the core of the legendary Bachman-Turner Overdrive, one of the early '70s most loved hitmakers.
The pair reunited in 2009 for an album and tour and are still, pardon another pun, letting it ride. The DVD, released via Eagle Rock Entertainment, will feature 20 tracks all recorded at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City in late 2010. All the obvious hits are here, along with a couple of nods to Bachman's other famous combo, the Guess Who, in the form of 'American Woman' and 'Shakin All Over'.
In addition, the guys are hitting the road once again for a tour starting June 8 in New York and keeping them on the road through September.

Gorefest 9: MASSacre General Hospital by Laura Clark and Misch Whitaker, music and lyrics by Melissa Carubia, ImprovBoston, 10/20/11-10/31/11. http://www.improvboston.com/gorefest?ref=slide. For Mature Audiences Only.
Reviewed by Gillian Daniels
(Cambridge, MA) Once again, ImprovBoston treats audiences to the guts and glory, but especially guts, of a Halloween comedy show. This time, the theater gives its audience a seasonally appropriate splatter musical set in a hospital. A young and more or less well-adjusted couple, Carla and Trevor, get into a car accident and venture into the Braggs Memorial Hospital. Not so secretly, something about the facility is wrong, especially when Carla's unborn baby starts getting a little too much attention. Continue reading

SOLID Code is Mergeable Code
Not every developer I speak to is convinced of the importance of adhering to the "SOLID" principles. They can seem a bit too abstract and "computer sciency" and disconnected from the immediate needs of delivering working software on time. "SOLID makes writing unit tests easier? So what, the customer didn't ask for unit tests, they asked for an order billing system".
But one of the very concrete benefits of adhering to SOLID is that it eases merging for projects that require parallel development on multiple branches. Many of the commercial products I have worked on have required old versions to be supported with bug fixes and new features for many years. It is not uncommon to have more than 10 active branches of code. As nice as it would be to simply require every customer to upgrade to the latest version, that is not possible in all commercial environments.
One customer took well over a year to roll out our product to all their numerous sites. During that time we released two new major versions of our software. Another customer requires a rigorous and lengthy approval testing phase before they will accept anything new at all. The result is that features and bug fixes often have to be merged through multiple branches, some of which have diverged significantly over the years.
So how do the SOLID principles aid merging?
The Single Responsibility Principle states that each class should only have a single reason to change. If you have a class that constantly requires changing on every branch, creating regular merge conflicts, the chances are it violates SRP. If each class has only a single responsibility there is only a merge conflict if both branches genuinely need to modify that single responsibility.
Classes that adhere to the Open Closed Principle don't need to be changed at all (except to fix bugs). Instead, they can be extended from the outside. Two branches can therefore extend the same class in completely different ways without any merge conflict at all – each branch simply adds a new class to the project.
Designs that violate the Liskov Substitution Principle result in lots of switch and if statements littered throughout the code, that must be modified every time we introduce a new subclass into the system. In the canonical 'shapes' example, when the Triangle class is introduced on one branch, and the Hexagon class is created on another, the merge is trivial if the code abides by LSP. If the code doesn't, you can expect a lot of merge conflicts as every place in the code that uses the Shape base class is likely to have been modified in both branches.
The Interface Segregation Principle is in some ways the SRP for interfaces. If you adhere to ISP, you have many small, focused interfaces instead of few large, bloated interfaces. And the more your codebase is broken down into smaller parts, the lower the chances of two branches both needing to change the same files.
Finally, the Dependency Inversion Principle might not at first glance seem relevant to merges. But every application of DIP is in fact also a separation of concerns. The concern of creating your dependencies is separated away from actually using them. So applying DIP is always a step in the direction of SRP, which means you have smaller classes with more focused responsibilities. But DIP has another power that turns out to be very relevant for merging.
Code that adheres to the Dependency Inversion Principle is much easier to unit test. And a good suite of unit tests is an invaluable tool when merging lots of changes between parallel branches. This is because it is quite easily possible for merged code to compile and yet still be broken. When merges between branches are taking place on a weekly basis, there is simply not enough time to run a full manual regression test each time. Unit tests can step into the breach and give a high level of confidence that a merge has not broken existing features. This benefit alone repays the time invested in creating unit tests.
In summary, SOLID code is mergeable code. SOLID code is also unit testable code, and merges verified by unit tests are the safest kind of merges. If your development process involves working on parallel branches, you will save yourself a lot of pain by mastering the SOLID principles, and protecting legacy features with good unit test coverage.

How Many Cyberattacks Hit the United States Last Year?
And how many don't we know about?
Thanks to the warnings of senior lawmakers and Obama admiistration officials, Americans are growing more aware of online vulnerabilities that could lead to a "cyber Pearl Harbor" attack. By definition, such a catastrophe would be extraordinarily rare, its chances perhaps no more than one in a ... what, exactly?
It's hard to talk about odds when the pool of minor cyberincidents is growing larger every day. Depending on when it arrives, the first major cybervent against the United States could be a one-in-2 million incident or a one-in-10-trillion incident. But noise from garden-variety hacks shouldn't just be ignored in a broader search for the next 9/11. Understanding those day-to-day online skirmishes can help reveal the scale of the broader problem.
The Homeland Security Department runs a national clearinghouse of cyberthreat information known as the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team, or US-CERT. Part of its job is to track cyberincidents, which DHS defines as violations of an organization's security policy. That could include unauthorized attempts to access a network, DDoS attacks, or other nasty behavior.
In 2007 -- the year that Twitter was founded -- US-CERT received almost 12,000 cyberincident reports. That number had more than doubled by 2009, according to new statistics from theGovernment Accountability Office (PDF), and it had quadrupled by 2012. We're learning of more attacks, more often. From a certain point of view, this is a good thing: Growing awareness means improved detection.
More than two-fifths of the cyberincidents reported by federal agencies last year were attempts to access U.S. networks or propagate malicious code. And here's something else: The incidence of denial-of-service attacks that disable a website with bogus traffic was hardly worth mentioning. Remember when hackers from Anonymous managed to take down the CIA's website last February? Despite the breathless news coverage of that event, it was dwarfed by the number of other incidents the government recorded. And these are just the ones the government knows about.
All of which is to say that the universe of cyberincidents is gigantic, and that by focusing so closely on The Next Big Attack, the United States risks failing to connect the dots -- again.
I'll leave you with some additional recent numbers on cyberintrusions, as reported by various actors:
The energy company BP says it suffers 50,000 attempts cyberintrusion a day.
The Pentagon reports getting 10 million attempts a day.
The National Nuclear Security Administration, an arm of the Energy Department, also records 10 million hacks a day.
The United Kingdom reports 120,000 cyberincidents a day.
That's almost as many as the state of Michigan deals with.
Utah says it faces 20 million attempts a day -- up from 1 million a day two years ago.
How these groups define and count their cyberincidents could be fairly diverse; it stretches credibility to think that Utah would be a bigger target than the Defense Department, for example. But, altogether, the numbers provide a necessary sense of scale.

For the third time this season, Sage Canaday (Scott Sports) stepped up to a new ultramarathon distance, this time the 100k at the Ultra Race of Champions (UROC). Despite having only one race longer than 50k (a course record at the White River 50 mile) under his belt and having focused on shorter races at times this year, Canaday beat a slew of top ultra veterans in taking second behind only Max King (post-race interview), who was also making his own 100k debut. In the following interview, find out how Sage and Max took a couple early diversions, how the pain differs between the Mount Washington Road Race (Canaday won it this year.) and finishing a 100k with a big road climb, and what ultras he's considering racing in the future.

Sage Canaday Post-2012 UROC 100k Interview Transcript
iRunFar: Bryon Powell of iRunFar here with Sage Canaday after his second place finish at the 2012 UROC 100k. Congratulations, Sage.
Sage Canaday: Thank you.
iRF: First 100k—how did it go?
Canaday: Oh, it's a long race. I kept looking at my watch. When is this going to end? Things start hurting. You've got a long way to go. You've got to toughen up. It was a good experience overall.
iRF: Yeah, I talked to Max a little bit about some of the mishaps early on—going out too far at a turn-around, missing a turn after that, going maybe 4 to 8 minutes out of the way. How did that affect you? If you run a road marathon, that's never going to happen.
Canaday: Yeah, well, the first mishap everyone kind of grouped up and we said we'd wait for everyone. It wasn't that far. The second mishap, it was probably Max and my fault. We missed a turn and probably got distracted; it was marked. It kind of reminded me of Chuckanut because, "Man, I've got to run a little extra now." I don't think it was that far. It was a little discouraging, because we got back on the trail and we had a little gap and were in the lead and then we were behind playing catch up. I think we were 4 to 5 minutes off the lead. I knew I needed to be patient and slowly work my way back into it. You have your ups and downs and you've got to deal with what goes, so that's what we did. It worked out.
iRF: It did. In terms of how your race played out, you were with Max for awhile. When did you lose contact? You were with Max when you went by Dave Riddle and Dave Mackey.
Canaday: Yeah, we went through an aid station and Riddle, Mackey, and [Jordan] McDougal were there. I think it was at 30 miles, Max starts moving on the road going out to the next aid station at 32 miles, I think. He had a minute on me going into that trail. You do a 4 mile out-and-back on a somewhat rocky trail, and I was just like, "Man, I've got to pace myself. Max looks really strong; he's moving away. I've just got to make sure I can get to the finish line without walking." I just couldn't go with him. He just kept pulling away. I saw him at the turn-around on the out-and-back, and I could tell he was 4 minutes ahead of me at that point. I was like, "I'm not going to catch him unless he blows up." He finished really strong, so he kept opening up that gap. It was a good race for him.
iRF: Did you have any low spots during the race?
Canaday: Oh, yeah, definitely. Probably around that time at that turn-around because we still had a long way to go. I was looking at my watch, and I was just worried about the last 20 miles. It would come and go because then you'd feel good. Then coming down some rocks my feet kind of hurt and I was like, "Man, I just want to get back on the road." Then the last two miles coming up that hill was brutal.
iRF: Yeah, how was that road section?
Canaday: Brutal. I like uphills, but at that point, everything hurts, you're exhausted, and you're just like, "Get me to that finish line." Once you get to the top it's great because you know you're really close.
iRF: How does that feel? You won Mount Washington earlier in the year where you're pushing all out for just under an hour, whereas here you've run for 7.5 hours and you still have a 2 to 3-mile climb with a couple thousand feet. What are the differences there?
Canaday: It's a lot different. Mount Washington is a 7.6-mile race. You're not hurting as bad going into the start of the climb, whereas here it's just like… it's almost a different type of pain. At Mt. Washington, you're burning yourself in the fire real quickly and the pain is over. Here it's like you're roasting yourself over coals for hours and hours and you just have to mentally be really tough with the suffering. It's a sufferfest.
iRF: This was your 100k debut and Max's, as well. You beat some really outstanding veterans of the sport. Does it have you excited for the future in running longer races?
Canaday: Yeah, definitely. I was honored to be here and the competition was top notch. It was pretty exciting for me. That race really hurt though. I couldn't imagine running 100 miles. That just sounds horrible. Maybe eventually, but in the near future I'm going to do The North Face 50 and probably get some more 50 milers and maybe even 50ks under my belt first. 100 miles sounds so far. I'd definitely like to do this race again next year.
iRF: Would you ever consider trying for the American 100k team on the roads?
Canaday: Oh, yeah, definitely. I'd really like to… I got to represent the US at the Mountain [Running] Championships, and it's always a blast to be able to travel and wear the US jersey and represent your country. It's a huge honor, and I think I could hopefully be able to qualify for another team. The 100k team—that's still a long ways.
iRF: Talking to Jorge Maravilla who has a little bit more experience in ultras than you, but not a whole lot more, he was telling me he's had to learn is how to really push himself after hours and hours of effort, to really keep that intensity going where you want to just kind of back it down and jog through. Having such success here today, does that give you confidence heading into The North Face 50 to try to hang with that lead group?
Canaday: Oh, yeah, definitely. It's a shorter race. That probably helps. So yeah, I do feel more confident. You learn a lot with each race. You have your ups and downs. I'd probably train a little differently. Coming from Italy four weeks ago, racing a 14k, I probably should have done more volume going into this, but I was able to get through it without bonking.
iRF: Was that going to be your plan before TNF 50?
Canaday: I'm probably going to take a little break now because I'm so beat up, but I'll try to get my mileage back up like when I was doing marathon training.
iRF: For you what does that mean?
Canaday: Triple digits—100 to 120 miles. I'll get in some good long runs. It's a lot of fun. You've got to enjoy the training and the process and get excited for the next event.
iRF: Totally. Well, congratulations on this event and see you out in San Francisco.
Canaday: Oh, yeah. I'm excited!

Data-driven decision making has long been a goal for organizations. Why? Because data-driven organizations make better decisions, which results in better business outcomes. But what does it mean to be a data-driven organization? And what does this mean for your company? In this article we'll explore the benefits of being a data-driven organization and show you some practical ways to become more data driven yourself!
The business case for data-driven decision making
Data-driven organizations are able to make more informed decisions because they have access to more high-quality data. They know exactly where their customers are coming from, what they're buying and how much it costs–and that allows them to adapt quickly when conditions change.
Data-driven businesses can also reduce costs by eliminating waste in areas like advertising or customer service, which means more money for innovation and further growth opportunities down the road.
Finally, data-driven companies provide better customer experiences than those who aren't using analytics at all: They understand what their buyers want before they even ask!
The challenge of data-driven decision making
Data is messy. It's distributed, it's hard to find and understand, and it can be difficult to trust.
As data-driven decision making becomes increasingly important in business and society at large, we need to make sure we're approaching the challenge of using data effectively as a team.
What is a data-driven decision?
Data-driven decisions are based on data and analytics. They're informed by facts, not just opinions or assumptions. In other words, they're the opposite of gut instinct or intuition (which can also be useful).
A data-driven decision is one that uses facts rather than assumptions as its foundation. It's a decision made with an eye toward what is supported by evidence instead of what feels right in the moment–or worse yet, what someone else says should happen based on their experience without any supporting information at all!
How to become a data-driven organization
- How to make data-driven decisions
- How to make data-driven decisions in your organization
- How to make data-driven decisions about a specific topic
- How to make data-driven decisions about a specific area of your business
Data-driven organizations are able to make more informed decisions because they have access to more high-quality data.
Data-driven organizations are able to make more informed decisions because they have access to more high-quality data. As a result, their employees are better equipped with the information they need to do their jobs well and make better decisions in real time.
Data-driven organizations can also create new products and services based on customer behavior patterns. This is something that most companies struggle with when it comes to customer experience; however, by using data analysis tools such as AI (artificial intelligence) or machine learning algorithms on your collected information, you're able to gain insight into what types of content will resonate most with your audience based on their past behavior.
Data-driven decision making is an essential part of running a successful business. It helps you make better decisions and allows you to reach your goals faster than if you relied on intuition alone.

Your guide to the
After-Race Concerts
at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Prince, Beyoncé, Aerosmith, Kings of Leon, Kanye West – all platinum-selling artists who have delivered diamond performances as part of previous F1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concert line-ups.
Attracting names even Glastonbury struggles to secure, all four race days see a different Abu Dhabi F1™ concert held exclusively for Grand Prix ticket holders.
The world's top music stars join the best drivers on the planet in the UAE capital to put on a show like no other across race weekend. Ever since the first Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2009, these unique After-Race Concerts have been held at the du Arena.
In 2020, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be held behind closed doors and the After-Race concerts are on hold but read on for everything you need to know about the After-Race concerts in 2021 and beyond.
Usually, entrance to each After-Race Concert is exclusive for F1™ ticket holders and is included in your ticket price. There are two types of tickets you can purchase for the F1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix:
A two-day ticket provides access to the After-Race Concert on Saturday and Sunday. Those with three-day tickets have access to all four concerts: Thursday to Sunday.
Each ticket covers general admission to the du Arena, which includes access to The Village – full of food and drink stalls, entertainment and more live music.
After a pause in 2020, the After-Race concerts will be back and bigger than ever.
You have to collect your concert wristband at Yas Marina Circuit during your race days. Pick your wristband up from any of the kiosks in the Oasis areas or from certain staff who will be throughout the circuit. Ask any staff for directions if you're unsure where to go – they'll be happy to help.
Yes, you can upgrade to a Golden Circle ticket. This provides VIP, fast-track entry to the arena, dedicated drinks access and front row views of your favourite artists – they're truly the best seats in the house. Golden Circle upgrades can be done on an individual basis or for all eligible concerts.
There are four headliners for each Abu Dhabi Grand Prix After-Race Concert – one every night from Thursday to Sunday.
The very first Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi F1™ Grand Prix After-Race Concerts saw Beyoncé, Kings of Leon, Aerosmith and Jamiroquai dazzle the crowd. That set the bar for following shows, with rap megastar Kanye West, nu-metal kings Linkin Park and music legend Prince continuing the trend in 2010. Since then everyone from Paul McCartney to Britney Spears, Jay-Z, The Who, Blur and Enrique Iglesias have graced the same stage.
The 2019 headliners were renowned DJ Marshmello, rapper Future, singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey and rockers The Killers – showcasing the world-class and varied artists the After-Race Concerts attract.
Every Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concert takes place at the du Arena – a 10-minute walk from Yas Marina Circuit. Follow the signs (and the crowds) directing you to the arena. If you're driving to the concert, park in Yas Mall. A free shuttle bus goes to the arena, with drop-off zones at Yas Plaza Hotel, Yas Mall, Yas Marina and Gate 19.
Arrive early as doors open at 6pm. Check your ticket for the right gate to speed up your entry. General admission ticket holders should head to Gate 2, where there are 30 lanes to use, while Gate 1 is for Golden Circle, Treehouse, Suite and Lounge tickets. Expect any large bags to be thoroughly searched by security.
When inside, stay refreshed at the food and drink stalls in The Village. Relax in preparation or enjoy the pre-show buzz with complimentary live music, showcasing local talent.
The du Arena opened in 2009, just in time for the inaugural Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi F1™ Grand Prix. It has held the legendary After-Race Concerts ever since. As the region's largest open-air event facility, it can host up to 35,000 people.
It's just a 10-minute walk from Yas Marina Circuit and a 15-minute stroll from Yas Mall. The outdoor arena allows for starlit performances and incredible views of the fireworks that traditionally end the four-day celebration.
Inside the arena is The Village – a 7,000-square-metre space where you'll find food and drink options, live music and spots to relax. Ten hospitality suites offer the best views and service, along with VIP platforms to make your experience truly special.
Get ready to rock, bounce and party by enjoying the full evening's entertainment at each After-Race Concert. Gates open at 6pm and the entertainment usually starts between 8.30pm and 9pm. Most headline shows will last between 90 and 120 minutes.
On the day:
18:00 Gates open
20:30 Concert starts
23:00 Concert ends
*Timings subject to change and to be confirmed for 2021

STRONG BAD: {singing} It's the email, baby, lunch juice!
Subject: high schoolHey Strong bad!
What were you like during highschool?
Patrick Cowiche WA
{Strong Bad stretches out "Hey Strong Bad!", says "high-shool... er, highs- high school. highschool" (as one word) instead of just "high school", and reads "Cowiche WA" as one word.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Well, cowichewa to you too, Patrique. Now, I have an extremely unphotographic memory. So, I guess that'd be more like a drawing, or a doodle. Like a doodle memory. {clears screen} But I would hazard a guess that we were probably just like other cartoons were in high school, i.e. we were a team of super sleuths.
{Cut to a splash screen titled "The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries" with "story by Youdbetterbelieveit Chimendez" in the lower right. Crudely drawn teenage versions of Homestar Runner, Marzipan, Strong Mad, and Strong Bad stand abreast in the center. Dissolve to teenage Marzipan in an old building.}
TEENAGE MARZIPAN: Stampers! My long lost uncle's abandoned pie factory sure is mysterious.
{Cut to a wider shot showing the entire gang.}
TEENAGE STRONG BAD: Ah, there's no such thing as "mysterious".
TEENAGE HOMESTAR RUNNER: I don't want to take any chances. {close up shot} We should play in a band, just to be safe.
{Cut to teenage Strong Bad, Strong Mad, Marzipan, and Homestar Runner playing the keyboard, the drums, the tambourine, and the electric guitar, respectively, on a blue backdrop. "Mysfit-steries" is printed on the face of the bass drum.}
TEENAGE HOMESTAR RUNNER: {singing without his usual speech impediment} Havin' fun with my friends. Words about a mystery. Shakin' hands with my man...
{Cut back to the Lappy 486.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} And when we weren't debating the existence of mysterious, Strong Mad and I were all the time trying to liberate Homestar from those ridiculous striped {pronounced "stripèd"} pants.
{Cut to teenage Strong Mad, Homestar, and Strong Bad near some lockers. Strong Mad and Strong Bad hold ropes attached to hooks in the ceiling and floor, which then run through hooks on Homestar's waistline. A magnet lies next to Homestar's feet.}
TEENAGE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Now you guys are sure this won't emancipate me from my ridiculous stripèd pants?
{Cut back to the Lappy 486.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} So that's what highschool {pronounced "high-shool", as before} was like. In, um, middle school we were a bunch of melon-headed babies with gigantic eyes and enormous...
{A baby-sized Coach Z tosses a box marked "NOT A BALL!" up and down, with a plush football beside him. Strong Bad continues, voicing over.}
STRONG BAD: ...imaginations.
BABY COACH Z: {high-pitched, childish voice} I'm pretending I'm the craptain of the foortball torm!
{As Coach Z says this, the nursery-school style background is replaced with a black and white image of a football field.}
{Push pan to a baby Strong Bad in a diaper with a small blue cap on his head. He sits holding an NES controller.}
BABY STRONG BAD: {high-pitched, childish voice} I'm pretending I'm playing better video games! {Atari 2600 sound effects play in the background.} Aw, man! That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!
{Push pan to a baby Strong Sad and a baby The Poopsmith. Baby Strong Sad has a pink bow in his hair, long eyelashes, and a frilly divide between his torso and trunk. The baby Poopsmith wears a blue baby bonnet and holds a stained rattle, with a large pile of dirty diapers behind him.}
BABY STRONG SAD: I'm pretending I'm not sitting next to The Diapersmith.
{As Strong Sad says this, the background, including The Diapersmith's diapers, is replaced by a black and white image of the Wright brothers' airplane.}
{The Diapersmith turns to baby Strong Sad and blows a raspberry.}
{Black and white image vanishes. Pan to the legs of Homestar Runner, who is wearing puffy red and white pants and holding a broom.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Now you children skedaddle. {pushes sweeping end of broom at The Diapersmith and Strong Sad}
STRONG BAD: {voicing over, in normal voice} And going even unnecessarily further back, {as Strong Bad says this, baby Pom Pom bounds by the screen, with a Bumble Ball body form and no distinguishable head.} we were all a bunch of plucky parameciums living in Free Petry Dish USA.
{Cut to a petri dish with a liquid inside resembling the shape of the United States of America.}
{Cut to a paramecium Bubs floating in a box marked "BUB5AMECIUM'S PROTOZOA STAND". A paramecium Homestar floats up.}
HOMESTARMECIUM: Hey there, Bubsamecium. I need to buy some embarrassing items for my embarrassing body parts.
BUBSAMECIUM: Certainly! Six tubes of rear-end cream coming right up! {He brings out a bag with said tubes of cream, and gives it to Homestarmecium.}
{Cut to a close-up of a viral Strong Bad resembling a bacteriophage.}
STRONGBADIOPHAGE: Oh ho ho! Whatcha buying there, Homestarmecium?
{Cut to a wide shot. Strongbadiophage "walks" in from the left.}
HOMESTARMECIUM: Uh-oh, it's Strongbadiophage. Um, uh, these are for my twin brother! {Homestarmecium divides into two of himself, and both speak in unison} These are for my twin brother! {the two Homestarmecia divide into four} These are for my twin brother! {the four divide into eight} These are for my twin brother!
STRONGBADIOPHAGE: Aaaahh!! {he runs off}
{Cut back to the Lappy 486.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} And then, of course, before that we were {pause} Romans...living in Roman times. And Don Knotts was always showing up. So there you go, Patrice. Just the facts. {types the score on different lines} Strong Bad Emails: 1, Not Strong Bad Emails: 0. {stops typing} You guys keep score at home. I'll see you next time. {runs off singing} Oh, havin' fun with my friends...
{The Paper comes down.}
[edit] Easter Eggs
- Click on the word "unphotographic" to reveal a photographic memory of the jumble caper.
- Click on the resulting image to reveal the doodle memory version of the same event. Strong Bad is carrying a large gemstone out of a vault, The Cheat is drawn as a rattlesnake-like creature carrying a turkey on a platter, and a sign points to the right reading "Subwoofers".
- Click on the word "Roman" after the paper comes down to see what those times were like.
- {Cut to The Homestar Runner and Old-Timey Strong Bad in a black and white Roman land. The Homestar Runner is dressed as Julius Caesar and Old-Timey Strong Bad is dressed as a Roman legionary.}
- THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh... aqueduct.
- OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Hm... yes! Vomitorium!
- DON KNOTTS: {pokes head in} Andy?
- {Pan to Sickly Sam wearing a sack reading "OLIVES". He vanishes, and an Ionic column takes his place.}
[edit] Fun Facts
[edit] Explanations
- "Cowichewa to you too" is an aural allusion to "konnichi wa", a basic Japanese greeting.
- Homestarmecium, despite his name, is drawn without a nucleus. This suggests that he could actually be construed as a bacterium (a prokaryote), rather than a paramecium (a eukaryote), and that he replicates himself using binary fission (eukaryotes replicate via mitosis).
- On the other hand, the "hairs" on his head area may suggest he's a ciliate, not a bacterium. However, since some bacteria have cilia as well, this is not conclusive. While Bubs also has "cilia" patches, his outline suggests the stereotypical image of an amoeba rather than the typical "footprint" shape of a paramecium.
- Strongbadiophage, which has a hexagonal head upon a column ending in 6 legs, appears to be a T4 Phage bacteriophage. This type of virus attacks bacteria, not paramecia, and forces the host cell to create copies of the virus by modifying the cell's DNA.
- Just as "bacteriophage" means "one who devours bacteria," "Strongbadiophage" may be taken to mean "one who devours Strong Badia" or simply "one who devours Strong Bad".
- The Homestar Runner mentions aqueducts. The Roman Aqueduct system is perhaps the most famous ever built, running over 250 miles across their empire and supplying over a million gallons of water a day to ancient Rome alone.
- A Roman vomitorium was a passage situated below or behind a tier of seats in an amphitheatre, through which the crowds could "spew out" of the building at the end of a show (essentially an exit). Contrary to popular belief, it does not refer to a place where people would go to vomit.
- In the Roman Easter egg, Sickly Sam is wearing a sack that says OLIVES; these were quite valuable in that era, both as a foodstuff and a source of oil which could be used for fuel, cleaning, etc.
- Patrique and Patrice are French variants of the name Patrick, although Patrice is also used in the Anglophone world as a feminine first name.
[edit] Trivia
- Prior to the post-Flash site update, this email was listed as "highschool" (with no space) on the Strong Bad Email Menu.
- When this email was released, the main page button read "new strong bad email" and "nothing else!". The site had just experienced a then-unusually long hiatus (35 days) since the last major update.
- The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries is written by Youdbetterbelieveit Chimendez.
- The summary for the Podstar Runner RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad makes up a buncha stuff that's not true. Don't you believe a word of it!"
[edit] Remarks
- Strong Bad breaks the fourth wall by acknowledging the fact that he is a cartoon character.
- Teenage Marzipan has legs.
- This email appears to support the idea that Strong Bad and Homestar were once friends, as was first suggested by Homestar in The Best Decemberween Ever.
- The high-school aged Homestar's eyes appear to be essentially his normal eyes rotated 90° clockwise.
- Teenage Homestar plays guitar left-handed.
- Teenage Homestar sings out of tune.
- While Strong Mad generally plays bass (i.e. Cool Tapes), his teenage counterpart plays the drums, normally played by The Cheat.
- Baby Coach Z wearing green pajamas supports the theory that he wears a green body suit, as Strong Bad questioned in labor day.
- Strong Bad seems to be a little confused on Coach Z's age: In his "middle school" flashback, Coach Z appears about the same age as he is, but in stand-up, Strong Sad's video tape reveals that Coach Z was already an adult when Strong Bad was a little kid. Their conflicting ages were also seen in record book, which also shows that Strong Bad resembled his Lil' self as a baby, as opposed to the melon-headed variant.
- He also seems to be confused on the age of Homestar. In the high school variant, Homestar appears to be a teenager, much like all of them. However, in the middle school variant, Homestar acts as the babysitter for the other characters, who are toddlers.
- Petri dish is misspelled in "Free Petry Dish USA".
- When Homestarmecium replicates himself, he does so horizontally, each time. However, every time the screen pulls out, the Homestarmecia are lined up vertically prior to the next replication, despite having never moved from their horizontal alignment.
- According to his name, Strongbadiophage is a virus. However, he is the same size as the full cells of Homestarmecium and Bubsamecium. In real life, most viruses are far smaller than any single cell.
- Homestarmecium, Bubsamecium and Strongbadiophage are portmanteaus.
[edit] Goofs
- When The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries title card drops down, Strong Bad's head is seen in front of the card for one frame.
- Baby Strong Bad's right eye doesn't have the star-shaped pupil as his left does.
- When Strong Bad says "we were a bunch of melon-headed babies with gigantic eyes...", there is a slight skip in the audio when Strong Bad says "gigantic".
[edit] Fixed Goofs
- When the email was released, Strong Bad's reflection went outside of the Lappy's screen as he got up. This occurred due to lack of using a masking effect. This was corrected shortly after it was released.
- Originally, on the Mysfit-steries title screen, Strong Mad's fist was visibly protruding from between Marzipan's thighs. This too was fixed promptly.
[edit] Inside References
- The photo from the "photographic memory" Easter egg is a screen shot from caper.
- There is another reference to Homestar Runner's pants.
- The "Pie factory" was originally mentioned in stunt double, though the location bears a resemblance to Eustice Pietimer's estate in That a Ghost.
- The horizontal lines on the wall of the middle school may be a reference to the lines on the wall of the Basement of the Brothers Strong.
- During his song, Homestar mentions "shaking hands with my man", possibly supporting the notion that he has invisible hands.
- The "stripèd" pronunciation was used previously in New Boots to describe the Striped Green Rabbit.
- The "freakin' duck" is a reference to one of the deleted scenes in In Search of the Yello Dello, and also to Main Page 13. In this context, it most likely refers to the Atari Dragon.
- Baby Strong Bad has a star-shaped reflection in his left eye and a swirl on his chin, which can also be seen in the Old 404 page and Main Page 11.
- Strong Bad gives part of the score at the end as "Not Strong Bad Emails". Also, the box Baby Coach Z is playing with is labeled "Not a Ball!".
- Baby Coach Z is seen playing with a cardboard box.

- "The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries" parodies Scooby-Doo, as well as numerous other Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as Jabberjaw, Josie and the Pussycats, The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, and Speed Buggy. These cartoons featured common themes of teenagers and young adults solving mysteries and occasionally playing together in bands.
- In addition, "Stampers" is a parody of the ubiquitous nonsensical Scooby-Doo exclamations, such as "Jinkies!", "Jeepers!", and "Zoinks!" and Teenage Strong Bad's comment on "no such thing as mysterious" is a play on the repeated claims of characters saying "There's no such things as ghosts", mostly used in the similar cartoons.
- The "middle school" portion of the email parodies Jim Henson's Muppet Babies and other American cartoons that followed the trend of presenting established characters in a franchise as children or toddlers (such as Scooby-Doo).
- Based on the "freakin' duck", Baby Strong Bad is most likely playing Adventure.
- The black and white picture behind Baby Strong Sad and The Diapersmith is from the historic first flight made by the Wright brothers in 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
- Live action backdrops such as this one and the football field behind Baby Coach Z were used in Muppet Babies when the babies would use their imaginations.
- Homestar as the matronly nursery character saying "Now you children skedaddle" is a reference to and hybrid of both Nanny from Muppet Babies and the Mammy-Two-Shoes character from Tom and Jerry. The costume and Southern colloquialisms are suggestive of the "Mammy" character, who often wallops the cat with a broom when he misbehaves. "Nanny", likewise, was only shown from the waist down.
- Baby Pom Pom's peglike limbs give him the appearance of a Bumble Ball.
- Don Knotts (1924-2006), who passed away shortly after this email was released, was an actor best known for playing Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show. He also twice guest-starred in the New Scooby-Doo Movies cartoons.
- The "Roman times" Easter egg is a reference to The Roman Holidays, a Hanna Barbera animated sitcom from 1972. Like The Flintstones and The Jetsons before it, the basic premise was plunking a typical sitcom family into another time period (in this case, 63 A.D.).
- "Just the facts" is a reference to the phrase "Just the facts, ma'am", which was made popular by the TV police procedural Dragnet, despite the fact the phrase was never used on the show.
[edit] Fast Forward
- Teenage Strong Bad reappears in the abandoned factory and is seen in the supergroup in alternate universe.
- Teenage Strong Mad reappears in his room during the Strong Bad Email imaginary, although he looks slightly different. This may be due to the fact that Strong Bad has a "doodle memory".
- Halloween Hijinks features a full "episode" of The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries, including Teenage Strong Bad finally succeeding in his efforts to liberate Teenage Homestar from his pants.

Civil Society in South Africa Deplores Failure to Give Visa to Dalai Lama
Johannesburg. 4 October 2011. The South African government should stand by its founding values by granting a visa to the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, urged civil society in South Africa today.
The Dalai Lama was due to visit South Africa from 6-8 October to attend the 80th birthday celebrations of fellow Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He was expected to deliver the inaugural Desmond Tutu International Peace lecture at the University of the Western Cape. Delay in granting him a visa by the South African government has now resulted in him cancelling his trip to the country.
In 2009, the Dalai Lama was denied permission to visit South Africa under apparent pressure from the Chinese government which strongly opposes his support for the human rights and freedoms of the Tibetan people.
"In many regions of the world civil society members are being persecuted for their beliefs and impeded from engaging with the international community due to restrictive visa regimes,†said Ingrid Srinath, Secretary General of CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation. "… it is highly disturbing that this can happen in democratic South Africa, a number of whose leaders also had to wage their struggle for human rights in exile.â€
Enhancing democracy and human rights as well as upholding justice and international law in relations between nations are important pillars of South Africa's foreign policy. South Africa is also a founding member of the India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) trilateral of multi-ethnic and multicultural democracies, which is committed to the establishment of a new international architecture. Recent violent attacks on peaceful protestors by the police, proposed curbs on the freedom of information through impending legislation and the current controversy generated around the visit of the Dalai Lama are marring South Africa's reputation as a vibrant democracy and human rights leader.
"It is untenable and hypocritical for the South African authorities to even consider denying the Dalai Lama a visa under pressure from a foreign government,†said Srinath.

Helping small businesses to be sustainable can make a huge difference to the environment, says ACCA
Policy makers, regulators and finance professionals must help small businesses adopt sustainable business practices – since their huge environmental impact is currently being overlooked, says ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
Despite representing more than 90% of global businesses and accounting, on average, for 50% of gross domestic product and 63% of employment with a significant impact on industrial pollution, SMEs have been marginalised in the debate about sustainable business practices and have been slow to adopt environment-related improvements.
For instance in the EU, only 29% of SMEs have introduced measures to save energy or raw materials (compared with 46% of large enterprises) and only 4% have a comprehensive energy efficiency system.
In its new policy paper Embedding Sustainability in SMEs, ACCA's Global Forum for SMEs has called on a number of groups to take action to help smaller businesses to enable them to become more efficient and environmentally friendly.
A series of SME-specific measures and approaches will need to be adopted, if these efforts are to gain any significant momentum –with policy makers taking into account not only the differences between large companies and SMEs, but also the differences between micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, says the report.
As many small businesses are run by owner-managers – with no shareholders or boards to answer to – they have more freedom to implement sustainability practices – or to ignore them. This is why it is important that governments and business-support professionals ensure that SMEs are aware of the quick gains they can make through increased efficiency and of the grants, financial assistance and incentives that may be available for those which commit to cutting emissions or which reduce waste.
This includes conditions that are set so that only businesses with sustainable practices have access to large and potentially lucrative public sector supply chains. While small business owners need to become more proactive and strategic when it comes to adopting sustainable business practices, regulators also need to ensure that they 'think small first' when it comes to developing regulations which are aimed at encouraging such practices, such as sustainability reporting.
The paper sets out a number of challenges for groups involved.
SMEs need to follow five steps to sustainability reporting, which are to committing the business publicly to taking action; assessing the business' impact; setting targets for reducing impact; acting to reduce impact and publishing the business' policies and actions.
Accountants are urged to work with local environmental-sustainability experts in order to gain local access to credible knowledge; to review the environmental sustainability of their own business, then use that valuable experience to have rounded, relevant conversations, based on genuine experience, with their clients.
The paper says that accountancy bodies are urged to become more proactive in the SME sustainability debate, providing members with the right tools and resources to help them develop in this direction.
Mark Gold, chairman of ACCA's Global Forum for SMEs said: "All too often, small business is overlooked when it comes to environmental and sustainability issues. But in terms of economic activity, employment and waste, small businesses make a huge impact and it is critical that they and those who advise and regulate them, recognise this and begin to take steps to tackle waste, promote efficiency and ensure that sustainability is at the forefront of their thinking."
