Part of the fun of writing
stories in the Science Fiction genre is the opportunity to play at being a god
(of course, many of the comments I'll make here are applicable to other genres,
especially other types of Speculative Fiction such as fantasy; but I'll be
concentrating on what I know best).
called Antares, far away across our galaxy (far far away but not long
ago!) It is, of course, imaginary – that
is, although the planet may actually be there orbiting a star that we call
Antares, nobody knows what that planet is like or if it is home to any form of
life (and at this point I must admit that, although my online biography
suggests otherwise, I do not actually come from Antares!).
There is a debate raging among science fiction authors,
albeit sotto voce [Ed: – how can it
be raging and sotto voce at the same time?], between what you might call the
'risk-taking' and the 'cautious' camps.
The risk-takers launch into their story and play it by ear, visiting a
planet here, passing a star system there, meeting interesting alien races,
getting their hero(ine) into a situation where they need some exotic technology
to extricate themselves. Along the way
they will introduce some suitable back-stories where necessary. The emphasis is on the fiction, the science
is merely a useful tool at times. By
contrast, the cautious authors – or perhaps more accurately, 'organised' –
ensure they have planned consistent worlds, races, technology etc. I am in this camp (you'd already guessed,
hadn't you?). Some might be considered
to take this to extremes (okay, I'm holding up my hand to this too). I want to be sure that I know the geography,
history, flora, fauna, technology, culture and religions of my invented
worlds. Much of this needs to be established
long before the story itself is written, although inevitably it will get
expanded and refined as the actual story-telling gets underway. Hence, as the story unfolds – usually in
unexpected directions once the characters take over and begin to assert
themselves – throw-away references can be included without fear of earlier or
subsequent contradiction. Minor
incidents from one storyline can become crucial events in another – difficult
to manage if you haven't laid down a consistent background in the first place.
yourself. Isn't this guy just being a
bit obsessive-compulsive, or anally-retentive?
Perhaps he's just trying to pander to the popular image of extreme nerds/geeks
– portrayed in exquisitely caricatured detail by Jim Parsons as Sheldon in The
Big Bang Theory? Why does he keep
putting words in my mouth, and making me ask questions?
questions. The first, of course, is to
ask why you're questioning a blog that's already been written – it's not
interactive, you know [Ed: – Uum, it IS actually, there may be comments and
you're expected to reply]. The second is
to point you at a couple of landmark works of speculative fiction and suggest
you consider how significant consistent world-building was to their impact:
Tolkein's Middle Earth had much background material that was never intended to
be published, but which ensured that the stories were internally consistent
(even to the extent of inventing languages and alphabets); while one of the
great pleasures of reading Anne McCaffrey's Pern books is that minor characters
in one book can be the main characters in another (and vice versa), with
distant events from one story being related by a harper as part of the
atmosphere of another entirely separate story, all adding to the sense of a
real environment with concurrent events coloured by diverse viewpoints and
background there is to any story. When
your characters have a shared culture with your readers, then words, concepts,
places, pets and even brands all contribute to the reader's experience (and
hopefully understanding and enjoyment) of the story.

think they do) that Jack is a boy and Jill is a girl. They have a mental image, probably, of a hill
as distinct, say, from a mountain or a tumulus.
They know what a pail is (although they might normally call it a
bucket). Of course, they may wonder why
the young (?) couple/siblings are going up a hill looking for water rather than
down to a river in the valley – perhaps there's a spring on the hillside? Everyone can empathise with Jack when he
falls and injures himself (younger readers, though, may wonder why he's wearing
a crown – is he a prince?).
Libya. After meals when people are
sitting around telling stories, he often regales everyone with traditional
stories from his childhood. A different

other details may be unfamiliar.

Jill version a few lines earlier you may not have understood what was
Now suppose you have a story set on an imaginary
world. There can be no shared culture
with your readers, everything they know about your world will come from
you. What's more (as every writer knows)
you have to show, not tell. So your
readers are experiencing an unfamiliar world through your characters. You may ask, how is that different from a
story set in an exotic location? (There
you go with the questions again…) [Ed: Stop it!] On the face of it, it's much the same. Except that some of the things we can take
for granted anywhere on Earth might not be true on our planet: gravity may be
much reduced, with all sorts of resulting anatomical effects, not to mention
walking gait; daylight might be a very different mix of wavelengths, resulting
in colour perception being altered or even non-existent or other senses being
far more acute; the atmosphere might be thinner, or composed of different
gases, with radical effects on the likely flora and fauna; and so on… Then there's the culture – just because
Western Europe was shaped by wars, conquest and powerful religions, that doesn't
mean that your planet followed the same path.
The order in which certain key technologies are developed can be crucial
to the overall shape of the economy, industry and society in general. Steampunk is a genre predicated on the
radical alterations in society and history because of a slight variation in the
development of technology. Terry
Pratchett's Discworld is the iconic world where technologies develop in
different ways – in his case with hilarious results – as well as being another
perfect example, like Pern, of a world where events in different books overlap
in a way that adds depth and realism.
is essential, how does one go about it?
I can only tell you what I do, and I will use Antares as an example
(mostly because it is freshest in my memory!)
The story required the people to have quite an advanced technology –
after all, three children have to be accidentally teleported there from Surrey. So a timeline was needed back through their
history to provide a believable developmental route from a small tribe to a
powerful race, (many misspent hours playing Sid Meier's Civilisation finally paid
off!) Having a reasonable timeline for
the technology would require the culture to develop alongside it, and hence
things like religion, language(s) etc.
To plot out these timelines of course, raises questions of periodicity –
how long is a year (an orbit of the sun, or in this case an orbit of a binary star,
giving them two suns and an eccentric orbit), how long is a day? Because of the binary star it seems likely
that twos, fours, eights and sixteens would have been significant to the early
tribes, when the basis of counting and time keeping was being established. So a year is divided into 16 months of 16
days; a day is divided into 16 hours, and so on. An easy-to-use conversion table followed next,
to enable Earth time and Antares time to be related (if you're interested, an
Earth second is 5.3 Antarean seconds, an Earth week is 3 Antarean days, an
Earth year is 10 Antarean months and 1 Antarean year is 584 Earth days). Is it important to the story? Well, as I mentioned earlier, three children
from Earth have been teleported to the planet so they will notice these
inconsistencies, and so will the readers.
next. So, although the scientists on
Antares would use measurements based on physical properties of matter and the
laws of the universe, just like they do on Earth, the majority of people would
use traditional measurements based on, often forgotten, ancient practices. So, a basic unit of measure is a cubit, originally the distance from the
chin to the tip of an outstretched hand (okay, not very original name, but a
very common measure across cultures). A
cubit is 4 spans, (hand's span) and
so on. The longest measure of distance
is a parade, originally the distance
between the royal palace and the city gate designed for ancient royal parades, consisting
of 1024 cubits (hints of an Egyptian influence in my world building, there). After distance comes money, with 1 crown equal to 2 half crowns, 4 quarters, or
64 marks. The military (yes, they are advanced
technologically, but still need the military – they almost did away with them
but then got attacked) is organised into platoons
(64 soldiers), companies (4
platoons), battalions (8 companies)
and brigades (8 battalions). The 'enemy' army is similar but has cohorts instead of companies.
that everything remains consistent. However,
it's still too soon to plot out the timelines.
The culture develops as a result of location, climate and living conditions,
so the next requirement is for things like flora and fauna, identifying pets or
other wildlife, and the plants that they forage. Of course to do this the basic geography
needs to have been identified, so an outline map of the region (if not the
whole planet) is essential – where are the hills, mountains, plains, deserts or
ice-fields, lush pastures and urban areas?
Once we have the terrain mapped we can populate it with life.
is a large lumbering creature that lives mostly in the Southern Uplands of
Antares. It eats grasses and leaves and
creates a lot of dung. The dung is used
to make paper. The tyrant Ramose kills
Flaarn for sport, although it's not much sport as they are even slower and
fatter than him. Flaarn blood is also
used to make a cheap ink, but it fades quite quickly and has a disgusting smell. The Tangen
plant has leaves used to make the best ink, with a beautiful deep colour that
doesn't fade.
infrastructure, as it were, the people's timeline can be put into context. Starting with pre-historic tribes that
gradually evolve better tools and language, until they develop some form of
writing and hence a record of history.
They name their land Antares. At
a crucial date, subsequently known as N1, a future Queen, called Nuit, is born
with a genetic mutation that makes her a natural healer. This is the start of the royal line that
gives the series its title "Queens of Antares".
A potted history of Nuit and her family sets the ground for much myth
and legend as well as cultural terminology.
Key dates in the next 10,000 (Antarean) years establish crucial cultural
and technological milestones, providing the skeleton over which to lay the
history of all and any aspects of society, culture, science and religion.
speech of the people. So, for example,
the people don't talk of death or dying but going to join the Aten – originally
(about 500 years Pre-Nuit) there were two ruling gods (binary star, remember)
who eventually (by N1) had been combined into two aspects of the one true god
Aten (Egyptian influence again). After a
few thousand years (about N5000) science had developed to the point where
creation myths were no longer believed and a creator god seemed
unnecessary. Many people abandoned
religion. But within a few hundred years
(N5500) it became clear that people needed something to believe in and concepts
to help them govern their life; there was a resurgence in religion but with
less emphasis on god and more on morals.
By N10000 peace had become the most important concept, there had been no
war with the enemy for some hundreds of years as technology managed to keep
them at bay and under surveillance, so the armies were disbanded, leaving the
people largely unprotected and incapable of defending themselves five hundred
years later when an upstart rebel raised an army and attacked from within. That rebel was Ramose and he established
himself as tyrant and wiped out the whole of the royal bloodline (or so he thought).

I have only given the merest outline of the world creation here. My notes go on for pages, with the hierarchy
of the religions, the scientific community, the royal family, the technological
devices that are still operating and those that were destroyed by the
scientists before the tyrant could gain control of them.

This may be my last review for a few days, as I've been battling a nasty bug on my PC and it seems to have gotten the better of me. Now, I'm just waiting on a call to see if it can be fixed and how long it may take, so please bear with me. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. Anyway, on to the review:-
Music by Marc Shaiman
La-La Land Records LLLCD 1126 (US)
14 Tracks 46:33 mins
Speechless is a 1994 romcom starring Michael Keaton and Geena Davis, set in the political world.
The film is an early outing for Marc Shaiman but, already with two Addams Family movies and two City Slickers under his belt, he was off to a flying start and, having worked successfully on director Ron Underwood's Heart and Souls, it was only natural they should team up again.
Shaiman's fast-paced main theme opens the score in "Prelude/Nytol" and its busy feel easily brings to mind the political jungle the characters inhabit. A slower, whimsical variant of the theme ends the track. This theme is to appear in variations throughout the score, driving the action forward, often accompanied by castanets, representing the film's New Mexico setting. "In Action" presents a particularly dynamic version, whilst the theme receives more whimsical variations in the likes of "Debater Be Good" and "Kevin Freaks;" still other tracks like "Mass Debater/Post/Cologne Again" find room for both approaches.
By contrast, there's a warm and tender romantic theme, which makes its presence felt in the likes of "Set a Date," "Walking" and "Fountain."
Another theme, representing the "Chuck & Eddie show that the Keaton character used to write, also appears, firstly in Dixieland style in "Chuck & Eddie Playoff" and then in more subdued form in "C & E Ya See Timmy."
The final cue "Kevin Blows It/The Truth Hurts/Big Finish" brings all the main themes together to conclude the score in satisfying style.
Shaiman has over the years often proved unequalled in his ability to write this kind of light and entertaining score, and I'm so pleased that La-La Land Records have chosen to preserve it for posterity.
Accompanying the CD is the usual high quality booklet, with Randall D. Larson's notes on the film, its composer and score, including the ever valuable cue-by-cue guide; all accompanied by a selection of colour stills.
This release is limited to just 1200 units, so you'd best hurry along for your copy to www.lalalandrecords.com/Speechless.html, where you can first listen to some samples if you wish.

Do you want to experience organizational research AND earn money at the same time? Then it's time to participate in an experiment. Researchers of the Strategic Organization Design Unit conduct experiments on how people in organizations make decisions and solve problems. For example, they study how teams coordinate their efforts to solve a joint task, or how communication structures affect the quality of decisions in organizations.
The experiments take place in a computer lab at the University of Southern Denmark (https://www.facebook.com/LabSDU), and we are always looking for participants. The experiments typically last 1 hour and offer you an opportunity to make extra money and win attractive prizes. (To be precise, the experiments have varying payment schemes. While all participants receive a basic show-up fee such as a cafeteria voucher, most experiments also have a performance-based component or lottery-based payment component.)
If you want to become a member of the pool of participants, you can sign up here (https://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=6PA47AF83KCN). You will be added to an email list and be informed about upcoming experiments.

Jim Sire on Finding common ground with someone radically different"Posted by tom | Nov 2, 2012
Yesterday, Jim Sire (formerly a Senior editor of InterVarsity Press and a friend since my undergrad days at Grove City College) took a first look at "Finding common ground with someone radically different," http://blog.emergingscholars.org/2012/11/jim-sire-on-finding-common-ground-with-someone-radically-different/. Today, he explores the topic further, http://blog.emergingscholars.org/2012/11/jim-sire-on-finding-common-ground-with-someone-radically-different-part-ii/. May you find encouragement in his insights.
If you have a question for Sire regarding worldview, please let me know. In addition to the question-answer series on the ESN Blog, I'll be visiting with Sire in November to interview for an Evangelical Seminary class paper on how his thoughts on worldview have developed over time.

I'm a -7.5 on each eye. ush:
How about you?
Left: -5
Right: -4.75
i'm the only one in my family with bad eyesight.
Both eyes are -5. Planning to get lasik soon though. Contacts & glasses are such a hassle!
Is it the higher the number, the worse your eyesight is?
I don't know how strong my contact lenses are. The info on the box confuses me.
Well, if it were a product, it would come with a disclaimer that said something like "sold as a novelty only."
I'm not sure of the numbers. 20/several squillion on one, 20/several more squillion in the other.
I need to go to the opthalmologist, I know it is worse than the last time I went, Lord knows what diabetes has done to it, and it was never much to brag about to begin with!
I don't need glasses....(yet?) =)
-8 left, -7.5 right. I'm so thankful for contacts and glasses!
-6 and -5.75.
Lasik will be my birthday present to myself this coming year!
I don't know. :shame:
I haven't, yet, felt the need to get an eye test.
I've never struggled to see anything and we had eye tests at school and I was never told I had to wear glasses, so I assume they're OK; for now at least.
-10.50 and -11.00
but i need to go back cause things are all fuzzy again...
holy cow!
you're telling me...
it sucks. big time.
i figure by the time i go back, it'll be at LEAST -11.50 in each eye.
and they won't do lasik until my eyes are stable, which probably won't be for another few years (i'm 21 now).
20/15 in my right & 20/20 in my left. I had LASIK 6 years ago...before that I don't know but my alarm clock was fuzzy less than 8 inches in front of my face. They were pretty bad!
hm..no idea what my eyesight is.. I thikn a little better than 20/20..my brother got all the bad genes for eyesight He got Lasik
Well, i don't have glasses or contacts as of now......

Award-winning South African DJ Black Coffee shared why he was unable assist two A-List music artists during a Metro FM interview on Friday.
The internationally renowned DJ, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo, revealed that Rihanna's team approached him while he was working with American singer Cassie to ask if they could use one of his songs for the 'Work' hitmakers album.
Coffee explained that he sent them songs for consideration, but had to turn them down after they wanted to use the one he recorded for Cassie. However, all was not lost because he promised them a new song, which he is still working on.
This isn't the first time US hitmakers have reached out to Coffee.
Earlier this year, US producer Swiss Beatz contacted Coffee to record a song for American rapper Jay-Z's '4:44' album.
"Swizz reached out and said Jay is looking for one song before he concludes his album. It freaked me out. I am in Milan, I couldn't sleep," explained the high profile DJ.
"He literally called me: 'I spoke to Jay. Jay wants a song.' I couldn't sleep. Then I didn't work. I couldn't. How do you produce a song for Jay -Z? He kept saying: Ýo, man. I'm waiting'. I think I failed him but subconsciously I think I wanted to. I wasn't ready.
"I don't work like that. I am not one of those producers who goes to the studio every day and have a list of songs to play people. I go into studio and craft a beat with the person," he added.
Coffee previously collaborated with the likes of Alicia Keys and Drake. He is also set to release a new collab with Usher.

Army Must Redo Tech Contracts, Court Says
WASHINGTON (CN) – The U.S. Army failed to hold fair and open competition for information technology contracts, the Court of Federal Claims ruled. Femme Comp Inc. and four other companies sued after the Army awarded contracts to five companies, two of which intervened to protect the Army's decision.
BearingPoint Inc., one of the unsuccessful companies, argued that the Army's Source Selection Authority based her decision on low prices, not on technical superiority.
Judge Sweeney agreed that the selection process was "arbitrary, capricious, and not in accordance with the law."
Sweeney ruled that the Army must re-award the contracts under the proper criteria.

Get Lost!
Nope, you're not imagining things: I've been posting like a maniac lately. (I've finally given up on my dream of being invited to join the Mandelbrot Set, but I figure I still have a shot at *Women Who Write About Their Feet More Than Is Strictly Necessary.* Look for the logo to show up on my splash page soon.) Lots of you have been sending me nice e-mail about my recent burst of prolificacy, too. Thank you. It's reassuring to know that when I hurl this stuff out into the whereversphere, some of it actually sticks somewhere.
And that's why I think it's important that I let you know when I'm going to be away from The Castle -- and the computer -- for a few days.
Where am I going, you ask?
At the crack of dawn tomorrow morning, SecraTerri and her attractive hood ornament, Ю僱êrvØ¡, will crawl out of their warm lumpy crumb-strewn bed ... chug down a cup or three of Organic Mexican Altura Roast ... load up the Subaru with guitars and snacks and extra rolls of film ... and head out for the open road, along with the other 43,897,621 California drivers in search of cheap gas and a little Memorial Day Weekend escapism. With any luck, we'll be hopelessly lost by noon.
I can't wait.
This is the very first time that David and I have gone off on a romantic weekend alone together. Going to Seattle last year was fun -- especially spitting off the top of the Space Needle with the Tots -- but I wouldn't exactly call that a *romantic vacation.* And our occasional day-trips are great, but they don't generally involve jacuzzis. Or room service. Or almond massage oil.
So I am nearly beside myselves with joy here.
We have no agenda. We have no hotel reservations. We have no air-conditioning.
What we do have is a glove compartment full of maps, three days off from work and a vague notion that we'd like to go someplace along the coast, where it will be relatively cool. (See: no air conditioning in the Subaru.) A place with plenty of groovy photo ops for our respective websites would be good, too.
Of course, if it turns out that the roads are impossibly jammed and there are no rooms available, anywhere we go, we may very well turn around and end up spending the rest of our Romantic Weekend right here in The Castle. That would be OK, too. (You wouldn't mind seeing more pics of The Ugly Pink Stove, would you?) The important thing is that we're unplugging from the world for three days ... and plugging into each other. No phones. No pagers. No kids. No bills. No housework. No Herbal Essence commercials. No cranky bosses, ordering us to walk to Longs Drugs on our lunch hour to pick up nasal spray. No e-mail, or i.m.'s, or Buddy Lists, or message boards, or stoopid AOL flame wars.
And no *FootNotes.*
Think you can live without it for a few days? I know *I* can.
Have a great weekend, everybody. Seeya next week.
P.S. If you haven't heard from us by Wednesday ... send the hounds.

OT: The Strange Case of Lisa Nowak
How does one go from being the pride of NASA's space program to looking like a meth addict from an episode of "COPS"? Ah, t'was love that did it, apparently:
Flush career and marriage down the toilet? Check.
Embarrass space program? Check.
Not bad for a day's work, huh?
An astronaut and married mother was charged for plotting to kidnap another woman whom police believe to be her romantic rival — the envied third in a romantic triangle involving a fellow astronaut.Wait, it gets weirder:
Lisa Nowak, a 43-year-old robotics specialist who last year soared 350 kilometres above Earth in the International Space Station, spent Monday night in a dingy jail cell awaiting her Tuesday court appearance…
Police said she drove more than 1,400 kilometres, donned a disguise and was armed with a BB gun and pepper spray when she confronted a woman she believed was a competitor for the affections of Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein…
Nowak raced from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers in the car so she wouldn't have to stop to go to the bathroom, authorities said. Astronauts wear diapers during launch and re-entry…I suppose she had an extra gas tank, too? I don't know of any cars with a range of 800 miles per tank. Anyway, let's see what else she carried along:
Police found a steel mallet, a 100-millimetre folding knife, rubber tubing, $600 and garbage bags inside a bag Nowak was carrying when she was arrested, authorities said. They also found a letter "that indicated how much Mrs. Nowak loved Mr. Oefelein," an opened package for a buck knife, Shipman's home address and handwritten directions to the address, the arrest affidavit said.Now I'm no lawyer, but that sounds premeditated.
Police said Nowak told them that she only wanted to scare Shipman into talking to her about her relationship with Oefelein and didn't want to harm her physically.Scare the dickens out of romantic rival? Check.
Flush career and marriage down the toilet? Check.
Embarrass space program? Check.
Not bad for a day's work, huh?

Alzheimer's disease is a disheartening disease affecting 5.4 million people in the Unites States. By 2025, one in eight baby boomers will be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is plaque that builds up in the brain causing loss of memory, loss of speech, loss of bodily function control, and inevitably resulting in death. The research today is light-years ahead of when Ronald Reagan was diagnosed in 1994.
Marv Welstead, 95 – a Nye Square resident – has been a huge advocate in advancing Alzheimer's research because of his personal experience with his wife Jean Welstead. When Jean was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2001, Marv felt like the whole world was coming down on him, "I was in shock. I've never heard of it and to think our marriage of 59 years was about to change was very overwhelming and scary."
He was right, the time spent in the mornings chatting at breakfast to falling asleep together at night, Marv's world was never the same. Jean's condition progressed quickly over the 44 months Marv was able to care for her at home. She progressed to not knowing who he was anymore – she had to be fed, dressed, bathed, and eventually needed help with her bodily functions. She didn't know day from night and would sometimes be up 24-30 hours continuously – resulting in a collapse on the floor. Marv expressed, "I saw my wife dying one day at a time, and I couldn't do anything about it. That was hard." After battling for eight years, Jean passed.
Many would pity themselves with the strenuous labor and mental tenacity it takes to care for a loved one with Alzheimer's, but Marv used his experience to make an impact and move the needle of Alzheimer's research. Marv devoted many endless days and nights learning everything he could about this disease. He states, "Watching her suffer was the hardest thing in my life. Even harder than the 33 months I served in the service. I had nowhere to turn or anyone to go to during this time. I knew I needed and wanted to do something to help others who were going through what I was going through."
Marv's determination to find a cure lead him to document his experience and submit a 12-page journal into Alzheimer's research. He reached out to doctors across the United States to discuss their research. After these discussions, he came up with three goals – to increase Alzheimer's public awareness, to provide education and tools for caregivers, and to get involved in research.
To this day, Marv has been very successful at achieving his three goals and he isn't stopping at age 95. With the help of Nye Health Services' CEO, Russ Peterson, Marv helped found the Fremont Area Alzheimer's Collaboration, raising over $250,000 for grants given to research, studies, and equipment that aids the detection of Alzheimer's in patients. This collaboration group has served over 200 participants in two seminars. Fremont now has two support groups for caregivers. Marv has helped launch a class called "Power Tools" for caregivers and first responders, teaching them how to take care themselves and their patients. Marv has become very acquainted with influential Alzheimer's research doctors all over the US such as Dr. Murman at University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), Dr. Kedar at UNMC, Dr. Warren at UNMC, Dr. Burke at the University of Arizona Medical Center, and Dr. Petersen of the Mayo Clinic.
When asking Marv what his advice would be to those affected by this horrific disease, he said, "Recognize it is out of your control. Come to acceptance the Good Lord made this decision not you. Once you are able to accept this, you know it's not about you and you are able to settle yourself in your loved one's world."
If you or someone you know is affected by this disease, please contact the Fremont Area Alzheimer's Collaboration for more information.

The Spurs dominated in Game 3, leading by as many as 37 points en route to a 100-73 victory Friday. It was the fewest points the Clippers have scored in a game this season.
At Saturday's practice, J.J. Redick said the Clippers need to play with a "sense of desperation" in Game 4.
"You never want to go down 3-1 and be facing elimination in three straight games," Redick said.
In Friday's loss,
"Obviously Kawhi was awesome and had a great game, but after that, no one had a really high-scoring game," Redick said. "They were just really balanced. They moved the ball. They made our guys work off the ball."
The Clippers know they can beat the Spurs after having led by as much as 20 points on their way to a 15-point, 107-92, win in Game 1. Game 2 went to overtime, with the Spurs pulling off a 111-107 victory.
Redick said the Clippers need to make their Game 3 collapse a distant memory before heading into Game 4. After all, a Clippers win would even out the series.
"You don't get extra points for blowing a team out," Redick said. "It's one game. We could turn it around. We had a chance to win Game 2. These series can swing. If we can figure something out offensively, we can get some momentum in this series."

One of the many blessings of being a paper crafter and working as a demonstrator for Stampin' Up is the opportunity to meet new friends. Stampin' Up brought Carrie and I together when she was moving to La Quinta from Michigan and I've met other really great ladies who live in the desert through my stamping endeavors. I also meet people virtually through blogs and the Stampin' Up website. One such person is Heather Klump. I've never met her, but I'm sure we'd be front row friends if we didn't live thousands of miles apart. Heather has a blog called Downstairs Designs where she displays her amazing cards. Unlike me, Heather is a creator not a copier. And luckily for me, Heather doesn't mind that I copy her ideas all the time. The card below is a modified version of a card Heather recently made and I love, love, love it!
My 30 days of crafting challenge is still going strong. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed about keeping up with blog entries about my cards and then I realized I didn't promise to blog each one! So, I'll keep crafting every day and I'll show you the cards when I have time. For now, go to Heather's blog and check it out! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
All Supplies from Stampin' Up!
Stamps: Tart and Tangy, Fabulous Phrases
Paper: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Old Olive, Sale-A-Bration DSP

Chaplain Corp Staff College
Open to all Chaplains and CDI's and anyone who might be interested in the program.
What is Chaplain Staff College?
Northeast Region Chaplain Corps Staff College, a Civil Air Patrol Professional Development training school, helps prepare CAP chaplain service personnel to better execute their duties and responsibilities associated with their CAP assignment. Chaplain corps personnel who are participating in the regular Level IV Professional Development Program may satisfy the requirement for RSC by attending two Chaplain Corps Region Staff Colleges. Both CCRSCs must be completed within a 5-year period.
The NER Chaplain Staff College has been completely redesigned and will have an emphasis on Mission Chaplaincy and feature guest chaplain lecturers from the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Army. The college includes new instructors and themes and will culminate with a banquet and graduation on Thursday evening.
We have an exciting schedule of courses for our Chaplain's and CDIs to take advantage of including topics in Emergency Services, Cadet Programs, Aerospace Education, conflict resolution, understanding people, pastoral counseling, legal issues and much more. Guest lecturers from across the CAP chaplain and command teams as well as military chaplain's will be presenting.

If you happen to be in Edinburgh wondering where you can get your teeth into a tasty bit of carrot cake, you could do a lot worse than popping into Cafe Modern One at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. In fact, I'm not sure you could do much better.
I've had carrot cake there on more than one occasion and it's always been delicious. It may be a little drier than some versions of the treat, perhaps a little denser, but it is undoubtedly packed full of interesting ingredients and decorated in a magnificent manner.
Here's a piece I had a few days ago, topped with a superb orange-flavoured icing and decorated with pumpkin seeds, grated carrot and candied peel.
While I'm on the subject of the Modern Art Gallery, it is, to my mind, one of the best places in Edinburgh to get a decent cup of tea.
There are a number of different leaf tea options, but if you want a straightforward black tea that you can take with or without milk, I recommend their breakfast blend. (The single teapots are rather small, so if you're thirsty it's worth getting a pot for two, and if you don't like your tea too strong you might want to ask for extra hot water.)
It isn't the easiest place to get to by public transport (there's an hourly bus service) but it's about 1.5 miles from the city centre, and if you're driving you can park there all day for £2. Compared with parking elsewhere in Edinburgh that's very good value. To make the most of the situation, a long leisurely lunch in the cafe is almost obligatory.

A group is touring Northern BC talking about international goals and how they relate to residents in local areas.
BC Council for International Cooperation's Michael Simpson says a lot of the goals set at the United Nations fall on local governments to ensure it's achieved.
Some of the sustainable development goals include ending poverty and gender equality.
Simpson says with the provincial election coming up, he believes this could be a way for people to decide what issues are important to them and what party will best fit their priorities.
He notes that many of the communities travelled to in Northern BC have similar priorities.
The group will be in Kitimat tonight and in Prince George on Thursday.

For example, estimating the cost of servicing foreign loans taken out for military projects requires calculation of interest based on incomplete information. In the case of military pensions and transfers from the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation, no public information is available.
Calculating or estimating all the elements of Turkish military expenditure leads to the conclusion that the military burden in Turkey is approximately 2.4 per cent of gross domestic product. Although military spending has fallen from the peak reached in the late 1990s, Turkey continues to have a relatively high military burden—in 2012, it had the world's 15th highest military expenditure. There is scope for reductions in military spending, in particular in spending on personnel in parallel with a reduction in the size of the army. There is an equal need to improve democratic oversight of the military and to increase transparency in military data.

This completely scared me... so many things went through my head... luckily we went and spoke to one of the doctors and he explained everything. And there is nothing we could have done to prevent this and there is a 1 in 10 change that he will need surgery but it usually fixes itself. So we won't find out wether or not he needs the surgery until the 28th of January and if he does he has to be 6months old to have it... Also this is pretty commen and it's nothing to worry about... so we'll just keep praying and be thankful that he is healthy otherwise.

Tommy Update
So as some of you know little Tommy had an enlarged Kidney during his 20 week ultrasound. This ultrasound sent us to Anchorage a couple weeks later. We where told that it wasn't that bad and it was likely that it would correct itself before he was born. So he had an Ultrasound on the day he was born and all looked normal... well you must be asking yourself why i bring it up now... Well we had another ultrasound and it is Enlarged again... i guess babies are dehydrated when they are born and that is why his kidney looked normal.

The 'Fridge to Fridge' concept has been around for quite a while - the basic idea of conveying oneself by bicycle from one house to another fueled by alcohol alone. This one had the added them of dressing up as someone/thing you wanted to be as a child. Luckily for me I always envied the bike couriers I saw flying through the city. So the fact that I always dress as a bike courier was an added bonus.
We started off at the married patch at Duntroon, quiet a few G&Ts were demolished before departure.
For those of you wondering if God can get air, all your questions are answered.
We saw the sites of Canberra as we traveled, maybe we could market the concept.
Arriving at house two, quickly the games started.
There were races.....
......and coordination challenges.....punishable by sculling.
Then God preached to us, as He does, before we headed to the next house.
This picture depicts the horrors of a bicycle crash. Don't scuba, drink and ride!
Pepps brought Bruce along. He did well to keep up until he suffered a blister on his right hand, poor bugger.
House three was a surprise visit, we emptied the fridge of all there was.
But perhaps the most terrifying sight of the day was this doll, belonging to the host's daughter!!!!!! Danger!!!!
Then God got more air.
House four was where the cake eating was to take place. Each team had to devour a pie , using no hands. The hardest part was breathing through the copious amounts of cream....has anyone ever drowned in cream?
Roesey adopted his usual post game change room stance.
Then we headed to the lake for the next stop, unfortunately James' bike was well and truly DOA.
So he returned to his natural environment.
We headed to Parliament House, via the bridge and up the ramp, for a photo.
The bike fuzz were quite happy for the photos to be taken as long as we had no banner!! I've never seen them so receptive... This is what it looked like to have your photo taken by God.
We ventured east for one of the last stops.
It was a tight squeeze, but we made it.
The last stop was at God's house, interpret that as you will. There were more games, some involving very very small tricycles and donuts. Then we began to settle into some more serious beverages for the remainder of the night.
All in all a great day out involving bikes, as usual!!!

Some of you may be familiar with The Desperation Band from New Life Church in Colorado. I have enjoyed worshiping Jesus with their music for a few years now. Their newest live album is amazing. Anyway, Matt Pacco, one of Desperation's lead guitar players, has been a a guitar player that I have enjoyed listening to greatly. His choice in phrasing, and guitar parts overall have always intrigued me - very tasteful.
All this to say... some of you may not be aware that Pacco is a part of another Colorado band called The Roo And The Howl. RATH is putting out some beautiful and haunting old style Classic/Indie Rock Americana reminiscent of something between Fleetwood Mac, old Rolling Stones, and a little Cat Power. I am really digging it. They released their new album this month, ME/WE, and I would encourage you to check it out. You can find it on noisetrade.com as well as a few other places. Cheers.
Here is a bonus video for you of the Desperation band playing a stripped down set for the guys over at Relevant Magazine. I love Pacco's playing for these videos. Great stuff.

A few years ago Jen and I met while working at Zingerman's Deli in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We found our passion for food, books, and life in general were so much in line that we not only wanted to explore our community's unique flavor together, we wanted to turn it into a radio show that could be shared with anyone and everyone who would listen. We came up with the idea of creating a live broadcast that would highlight what we thought of as Ann Arbor's unique terroir. Unfortunately, our proudly named show, Radio Free Bacon, turned into something much different than intended and we eventually moved on. Nonetheless, our enthusiasm and friendship grew stronger through the years as each of us embarked on other exciting adventures. I traveled to Brazil and then began a master's program in Public Health. Jenny got married and continued to cultivate her passion for writing and food.
Now here we are at the start of 2010 still in love with the world of food, and both determined to keep our thriving friendship alive. As I move across the country to San Francisco and Jen continues to shape her life in the Ann Arbor area, we are re-igniting the Radio Free Bacon flame—only this time with a slightly different twist. Instead of focusing on one community's local terroir, we are expanding our reach to, well, just about any place, and while the focus is still on highlighting the fun, interesting, complex, and unique characteristics of our communities, it is also how we will communicate about the rich and vibrant experiences of our everyday, ordinary lives. Here you will find anything from short vignettes about music we've encountered to pictures and descriptions of our favorite meals. Our hope is simply to breathe life into fleeting moments and inspire others to live richly.
The Webster-Merriam Dictionary defines feast as, "an elaborate and usually abundant meal often accompanied by a ceremony or entertainment," and also, "something that gives unusual or abundant enjoyment." Here we mean for it to encompass all facets of our daily experience, from eating, to working, to sitting on the porch. So with that, you are invited to join our cyber-table. We hope you enjoy the feast!

A Brief Aperitif!

1. Re: Export pdf form to excel and keep same layoutKarl Heinz Kremer Jul 28, 2017 10:44 AM (in response to linh-chin35044780)
Converting from PDF to Word, Excel or any other format is one of the most complex things you can try to do with a PDF file. It works very well in some cases, in other cases the output has very little to do with the original file. The key for success is that the PDF file needs to be "tagged" - which means that it contains information about the information that is displayed in the file. The best way to make sure that a PDF file is tagged correctly is by using the PDFMaker in Acrobat to create the PDF file from Word or Excel (that's the Acrobat ribbon or toolbar).
Unfortunately there is not much you can do to improve the output without spending a lot of time (e.g. by manually tagging the file). Also, if you are using Adobe's ExportPDF service and don't have access to Acrobat, that is not even an option.
The only thing you can do is complain to the original author of the file and tell them that they used a bad PDF generator to create the PDF file.
Sometimes it helps to save the PDF file as a set of high resolution (e.g. 600dpi) images, then import these images back into Acrobat, run OCR and then export to Word or Excel again.
2. Re: Export pdf form to excel and keep same layoutlinh-chin35044780 Jul 28, 2017 11:42 AM (in response to Karl Heinz Kremer)
Thank you Mr Kremer for your quick reply. For the details of the form, I am the author of the form from scratch. So I am creating a PDF form that client will fill out (and the PDF form was exported from an excel file). Then once the client has fillout the form, the PDF will be exported back to an excel file. So step 1 (creating pdf form from excel file) is ok, step 2, create a prepare form is ok, step 3, client fillout form and send back the pdf file, is ok, but step 4, convert fillout form to excel is not working so good as the layout is all modified.
Let me tell you my steps exactly. step 1, save excel file as pdf. step 2, open Adobe reader pro, open ''prepare form''. save. step 3, client fill out form with standard adobe reader. save file. step 4, open file with adobe reader pro, export to spreadsheet.
I apologize that you may have to explain some concepts that I don't know since I'm quite new with the Adobe pro, for example what exactly is "tagged'', and what exactly is ''run OCR''. Thank you for your patience

You have form fields? If so you need to export the form fields not use convert to Excel.
4. Re: Export pdf form to excel and keep same layoutlinh-chin35044780 Jul 29, 2017 3:28 AM (in response to Test Screen Name)
Hi, this can be used in this example of 3 fields that I have used, but for a form of 10 pages, it won't be possible to select the fields on such a long form. But thanks for the idea.
5. Re: Export pdf form to excel and keep same layoutTest Screen Name Jul 29, 2017 4:12 AM (in response to linh-chin35044780)
Sorry I dont understand your point about selecting fields. Have you found and tried the export form data option?
6. Re: Export pdf form to excel and keep same layoutlinh-chin35044780 Jul 29, 2017 4:42 PM (in response to Test Screen Name)
Ok got it! I'm not sure where the export form data was, but I typed in the help button and found it. What I initially did was manually selecting the fields and right click, and then export selection.
Could be a solution but still is not exactly back to the initial excel file that was created for the form (not filled).
The best is still to obtain the layout of the original excel file.
Thank you for your help.

So it's election season again in the US, and the press is all abuzz over the recent declarations of candidacy. Last time around, I still cared a bit, mostly out of habit I suppose. I liked Romney, who I think is a fundamentally decent man, and I was disappointed to see such a talented, intelligent and enterprising fellow rejected in favor of an inept fool like Obama. So I was interested to that extent.
But Christian reaction had by then so permeated my being that I knew the only difference the election might possibly make is that of a few percentage points in my federal tax rate. Not that those percentages are unimportant, for they are, and the welfare of millions hangs upon them; but thanks to the mind-boggling deficits of the first four Obama years, they are upward bound, for the foreseeable future, almost no matter what. Obama spent so much money that no future administration is going to be able to cut taxes. Obama has eliminated all room for such maneuvers. It's a genius move, albeit not the move of a genius.
Evil is fundamentally stupid. You can be ingeniously evil, but to be evil in the first place is stupid. E.g., you can devise a brilliant plan to rob a bank, but robbing a bank is an essentially stupid thing to do.
The genius of Obama is in doing stupid evil; that's the one thing he seems to do really well, despite the impression that with this as with everything else he is apparently backing into it unawares, albeit looking good and streetable in so doing. He *looks* like a pro, see; that's the thing. He shucks and jives with very few false notes, even though it is clear, if you watch him for half a moment as if you had just met him in the street, that he has no idea what he is doing, no idea what the words he says actually mean. He's all bluff; all hat, no cattle, as they say in Texas. Clueless. But good at it!
But I digress. The 2012 election did not matter much, I knew. The course was set, other options – even minor changes of heading – had dwindled to wild improbability, and we were headed steeply downward no matter who won.
As the 2014 elections have amply demonstrated.
Nevertheless, I watched with interest. But, not this time. The whole thing is now like an incredibly bad daytime soap opera, so painfully inept even as fantasy that I can't bear to attend to it. The whole exercise is so patently false, so obviously completely irrelevant, thoroughly dishonest, and most of all stupid, that as with an aggressively bad TV show, you have to wonder how the actors can bring themselves to say their lines. It's so boring that the boredom of it is excruciating. I'd rather watch paint dry. Literally: this afternoon I watched as a sample of paint dried and changed color (to see if it would look right when it did)(I wasn't wasting time, see?), and it was more interesting than the election news. The thought of actually sitting down to read something about Hillary, Marco et alia is about as alluring as the prospect of taking sandpaper to my fingertips.
It's like the half-time show at the Superbowl: ginned up, fake, full of noise, flashes, skin, shouting, hurry, and spastic jerks, signifying … nothing whatsoever.
But then, this my visceral boredom and irritation with the political show is interesting in itself. Is it just that I'm getting old and cynical, nothing new under the sun, etc.? Or is there something different at work? Am I not the only one? Are youngsters, too, declining to tune in? Is the whole thing now so completely disconnected from any living reality that it is all cost, no benefit, and ought therefore to be avoided like the plague?
I am sure that there is in my reaction something of the former, of the man who tires of the hurry and noise of quotidian life and as his dotage approaches yearns for the quiet and peace of the countryside, of the truly important businesses of the insects and birds, the trees and flowers, and of course the grandchildren, that do really signify. But too I feel that there is in this reaction something also of the latter – that our public life has got so very false and absurd that it is, not just for me, but for many others, more and more *impossible to watch.*
But if that is the case, then beware, because it means that things are going to change. The networks cannot long survive if we start to tune out. If the politics of the republic are no more alluring, no more interesting, and no more remunerative than a run of the mill reality show, then it will be back to rewrite, pronto. Hollywood needs the issues to seem real, and really decided, in order for people to get really excited about them, or interested.
Politics could indeed get interesting again, if there were any possibility of anything other than a rerun of last season, amped up a notch. What would it be like if reaction were needed as a dramatis persona? Like the guy who, in the middle of filming, smashes into and through the set on his Harley, kicking the whole production up a level or two in the hierarchy of show business self-reference?
If that opportunity should arise, we must be careful not to take it; must be careful to act from our own conviction of the Right, without partaking of the delectations of the Show, or engaging in its discourse. Nothing could be worse for us than to be co-opted by the Show. No: we must reject it, root and branch. Our tenor, our constant, dreadful threnody, must be this, and only this: Turn back, O Man, forswear thy Foolish Ways – your Whole Show Sucks. Get real, or Go to Hell. Your choice.
In the meantime, let us all attend to the great work of the birds, of the sky, of the winds and of the earth. Let us attend to our children, and their earnest engagement with Reality, and their search for Truth. Let us do the things that are worth doing, that therefore merit life in the first place, and that are worth dying to preserve. And let us be ready to die, rather than forsake them.
Finally, let's enjoy the spectacle as the scrim of the Show catches fire and begins to Collapse™. Nothing like a nice cozy fire. Hear the crickets?

Cougar Annie
While chilling out in Ucluelet (which is here for you out-of-towners), I read most of Cougar Annie's Garden. By Margaret Horsfield, it tells the story of Ada Annie Arthur, later know as Cougar Annie. She settled in the wilderness of Clayoquot Sound in 1915, went through four husbands and had at least eleven children. She rarely left her tiny house and sprawling garden until she was carried out, dying and near blind, in the late eighties. She lived a long and fascinating life in some of Canada's most unforgiving wilderness. To this day, you can only reach her property by boat or seaplane.
One guy, Peter Buckland, single-handedly revived her 7 acres of garden. Since then, the Boat Basin Foundation was established to manage the garden and run the Temperate Rainforest Field Study Centre. From Tofino, you can tour Cougar Annie's garden and visit the Centre. That's definitely a to-do for 2006.
Cougar Annie deserves a Wikipedia entry. So, I started one.
One Response to "Cougar Annie"
Why I Love Wikipedia | DarrenBarefoot.com
[…] Back in September 2005, I started a Wikipedia article about Cougar Annie. Here's what it looked like back then. Cougar Annie was a pioneer who settled near Hesquiat Harbour in Clayoquot Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. Born Ada Annie Rae-Arthur, she moved to the land in 1915 with the first of her four husbands. She gave birth to at least eleven children, eight of them in this remote location. She acquired her nickname because of her famed marksmanship, which she learned while living with her family in South Africa. She shot dozens of cougars on her property over long life. […]
