Postings are in chronological order, with the most recent entry at the top.
Oct. 2001
I've been surfing up articles and trying to make some sense out of all of the hell that's broken loose around us. I'm consolidating the links I've found onto a separate page...

I couldn't resist this link... You know how some people are always using those field guides to spot various things? Birds... Mushrooms... Check this one out, very practical.

I woke up with this heavy, lethargic feeling in my brain. I had an information hangover.
Hey, there's a live action tv show of "The Tick" starting in November on Fox. I imagine that it'll be dreadful, but I can't resist. Ume and I are huge Tick fans.
Speaking of culture... I saw "Iron Monkey" again last night. See it on the big screen if you can, it's a gas. The choreography is stunning.
I'm looking forward to "The One".
I'm looking forward to the "X-Files" season debut too. I think I've watched one full episode over the years, but we all know why I'm tuning in now, don't we?
In the hunt for laughter we went to see Margaret Cho's show. We near expired from lack of oxygen.
While I'm on about entertainment and funny stuff, I'm listening to David Sedaris' "Me talk Pretty One Day". I like books on tape. I usually avoid anything abridged, but he reads this one. It's hysterical. I'm feeling veritably normal as I listen to this man's stories about his family. He's bloody brilliant.
I'm having trouble locating the definition of terrorism that they're using for the anti-terrorism bill that just passed. Is it defined as someone threatening national security? Anyone know? I took a look at the ACLU site, but I'm no lawyer.
Click here to go to the a Washington Post article on the passing of the bill in the House. And yes, Virginia, there is a sunset clause!
Curious about hawalah? It's not your average banking system. It's come under heavy scrutiny because terrorists and drug dealers make use of it to hide their money. I'm still finding it hard to believe that a banking system based on word of honor actually works. And then, of course, there's the irony of a system that depends on honor being used by terrorists and drug cartels...

They say that life is stranger than fiction. They may be right. This article on the Guardian site is certainly surreal...

I ran out for groceries this afternoon. Nothing like dodging rush hour traffic on my bike to get me in the mood.
Speaking of moods... I noted that it's getting dark earlier. This brings on my seasonal bout with SADD. This is not to be confused with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), brought on by shorter days and less exposure to sunlight or some such. SADD (Sassy After Dark Disorder) is similar in that it's seasonal, but has different symptoms. It's been in my family forever. I got it from my mother who was especially sassy after sundown in the colder months (I'm sure that it had nothing to do with the fact that she was a transplanted southerner or with what she was drinking either...). So if you sense a change, a subtle shift, a certain je ne sais quoi you hadn't noted before - it's nothing serious and should pass with time.
We've misplaced another hubcap. How common is this kind of thing? I remember my mother losing her glasses all of the time, I remember my father losing his favorite pen repeatedly, but I cannot recollect loud outbursts about hubcap loss. I'm just wondering about this because it's the third one to go AWOL in a year.
frass - (n.) Debris or excrement produced by insects.
Three guesses who I got this from...
I was stunned while out driving today. Probably not the best place to get stunned - behind the steering wheel of a car. Someone stopped and let me make a left turn across their lane of traffic. This kind of behavior does not, I repeat, does not happen in my neighborhood. I mean, it could happen, say if, the person behind the wheel of the other car was preoccupied by a pedestrian that they were cussin' out. It could happen then. Or maybe, maybe if they'd spilled their coffee in their lap and had to pause to scream (most everything in my neighborhood is accompanied by yelling of one kind or another).
I didn't hear any shouting coming from that car, so I was stunned. I made the turn. I really don't know what to make of this heightened level of civility. It's unnerving. Pleasant, but unnerving. I've heard New Yorkers saying that they'll feel less out of sorts when people start being rude again. I guess the drastic change in behavior makes all of the differences that much more palpable. A constant reminder.
Me, I'm a big believer in civility. One of the reasons I am so looking forward to not living in my neighborhood is that I seem to be alone in my belief. I say seem, that's because I'm sure there are people here who are as polite and friendly as can be. Much more so than I am (no big feat really...). It's just that we commute on different schedules and so I haven't bumped into them in the last ten years.
The world keeps turning. I'm still on for the ride. No anti-American zealot has mailed me anything deadly. I did receive a suspicious package though. I hadn't ordered anything. I stood in the hallway staring at it. I asked myself, "What's the likelihood that anyone's tryin' to knock you off Brulee? Open it." A friend thought this was a good moment in history to send me a surprise gift (good gift too). She's a nut, this friend of ours (redundancy?), she's in Italy on vacation. She said that if she's going to die, she'd rather it be while on vacation... I'm still working on that logic. I could understand someone saying, "I'm not going to let them terrorists run my life. To hell with 'em, I'm going to Italy." Or even, "We can't let them win, so I'm going on vacation." (Also dubious, but I can wrap my head around it.) Her fatalist approach threw me.
And here's something else I can't understand... Women getting all hyperventilated over Jackie Onassis's clothes. Would someone please explain this to me? There's a travelling show of the woman's clothes. I listened to two women gush incoherent half sentences about sinching and patterns and all manner of textile whatnot while making broad gestures. I don't have that gene. I couldn't afford it so it's all for the best really.
This enthusiastic exchange was followed by the equally baffling "ring display". Another thing I'll never comprehend. Women showing each other their diamonds. Happily, my partner is equally nonplussed by this behavior. We're mutants.

Bald, bearded, and tattooed Daddy Lucas straps his "boy" onto a Saint Andrews Cross, something Daddy Cub loves. In fact, while furry, pierced Cub is in his place, he watches Lucas' every move with adoration in his eyes. But that's a Master and slave relationship. Leather loving Lucas pulls down Cub's jockstrap and whips out his big, fat, pierced cock. Lucas strokes and sucks Cub. Suddenly, we notice Steve Sommers bent over a fuck bench, spreading his own ass apart. He hungrily awaits for anything Master will give him. While voyeur Cub looks on, Lucas rims Steve, tasting the hole before lubing up. Lucas milks his own cock, pumping it and getting himself rock hard before pressing up against Steve's ass and sliding home. Lucas fucks Steve bareback, nice and easy at first. Then the nipple-pierced, heavily inked Daddy builds up speed and gets a bit rougher. Both Steve and Cub egg Lucas on, talking trash and begging for more but Lucas has other plans. He pulls Steve over so the harnessed whore can suck on Cub's dick. Steve is so hungry to be pounded he doesn't stay on his knees long. With Cub's cock spit-lubed, Steve impales himself on Cub's cock, fucking himself bareback while devouring Lucas. Spit-roasted between Daddy Lucas and Daddy Cub, who's still strapped to the cross, we get to see a true sex pig in action. Stay tuned for part two of this no-holds barred 3-way fuckfest!
You could sense the connection between the three of them even before the cameras started rolling…I knew I was in the midst of something special but I never imagined that the sex would be as hot as it was…Bareback Porn's favorite ginger powerhouse Brock Rustin gets a second helping of Jeff Kendall along with the hunky and handsome Matt Stevens. Brock's face is nestled between both cocks as he sucks and services Jeff and Matt simultaneously. He's the designated bottom of the scene…they both know it…and Brock wants it that way…his rusty colored manhole getting the workout it craves. Brock's bare butt is in peak form as he rides them both cowgirl, then reverse cowgirl never missing a beat…he gets thrown on the floor and plowed by Matt as Jeff sits back and watches. He waits for his turn and soon enough he is nailing Brock's ass from behind…they tag team him as they both explode and breed his ass full of nut. Sloppy and juicy, Brock is felched cleaned as all three of them share and swap the loads between themselves.
Super Hung Intruder Gets His Way
Saxon West is home alone, stripping naked ready for a bath, all right before Theo Ford's eyes. Our hot suited voyeur has even got a camera behind the mirror and he takes the opportunity he's been waiting for. Letting himself into the flat, this sleazy landlord makes himself at home, sniffing shirts and pants whilst Saxon dries himself in the bathroom. Even getting his dick out and looking directly into his cameras, Theo is as cool as a cucumber as Saxon catches him and protests, but soon flung on the bed and gives himself up to Theo. It's no surprise really, as the muscled hairy chested Theo is a dream stud by most men's standards; and when he gets that monster cock out from his trousers, well, Saxon's dreams are now coming true! Theo's chosen fuck mate is everything he knew he would be, that's half the reason for his cameras and after one hell of a fuck, Saxon is left drenched in spunk, a mix of his own and Theo's huge load that's been built up over weeks of anticipation!
Hung, Suited and Horny!
Voyeur Theo Ford is back and flicking through the apartments he's kitted out with secret cameras until he finds exactly what he's looking for! Two suited fuckers, dark hair, lean and with great chest hair, not to mention a sexual appetite like no other! Even in their kitchen Issac and Bruno find a reason to get naked and fuck like rabbits! Gifted Issac's long hard dick, Bruno turns around and sucks deep on his dick, Issac's shirt fully unbuttoned showing us his gorgeous six-pack and tattooed chest all the way down to his prize meat and full to bursting balls. These dark haired studs fuck hard on the dining room table, almost aware they are being watched as they show off their hot bodies, tight muscles and tattoos, hungry butts and more than willing tongues lapping every inch of their tanned skin, it almost gets too much for spy guy Theo whose dick is now out and hard, getting gently played with as he takes in this amazingly horny sight happening right now. Almost shooting as Issac and Bruno hit each other with jets of jizz, Theo's after something else a bit more special and holds back, just.

"This place is full of shocking beauty.

The terrain here is huge not only in height but also in space occupation, and, with the added bonus of wide dabbles of lakes cutting through the volume, the effect is only amplified by the resulting interplay of light, reflection, and depth perception."

Film/Art Study Proposal
Time: Wed evening, 615-10pm
Location: screening room
A presentation of an adventurous and eclectic slate of 52 screenings a year, blending historic and contemporary programs to actively engage our audience with film art and media history.
This forum will encourage participants to identify the techniques used by innovators throughout the history of filmmaking. Through screenings and discussions, we will grow to understand how filmmakers have approached the challenge of telling stories with moving images from silent films to the digital age.
The first and third week of the month will present a rare or historically relevant film and short. Some presentations will include the audio commentary of the film maker during the screening or an alternate cut of the film (when available).
Every other week will present an Academy Award winning film (Best Picture) and will be introduced and followed by a brief discussion and how the film relates to modern cinema and animation.
Possible screening (example):
1931 Fritz Lang masterpiece, "M".
Peter Lorre gives one of the most brilliant and moving performances in cinema history as the child murderer who is hunted by the Berlin police — and the Berlin underworld.
1946 Walt Disney Feature, "Make Mine Music"
During the Second World War, much of the Disney staff was drafted into the army, and those that remained were called upon by the U.S. government to make training and propaganda films. As a result, the studio was littered with unfinished story ideas. In order to keep the feature film division alive during this difficult time, the studio released six package films including this one, made up of various unrelated segments set to music.
1957 Stanley Kubrick masterpiece, "Paths of Glory"
based on the novel of the same name by Humphrey Cobb.[1] Set during World War I, the film stars Kirk Douglas as Colonel Dax, the commanding officer of French soldiers who refused to continue a suicidal attack. Dax attempts to defend them against a charge of cowardice in a court martial.
In 1992, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

Strategies for Helping Your Dog Shed Weight.
The population of overweight dogs has risen over the past few decades which can be a cause for alarm. Dogs may gain weight just like humans do, due to a number of factors such as poor diet, lack of proper exercise or even a health condition that triggers obesity.
As a dog owner it's important to take necessary steps into helping your dog lose weight since its health is at risk. Studies have shown that dogs that are overweight are prone to diseases like diabetes, heart disease, lung disorders, arthritis, dysfunction of the immune system and even cancer. In addition, a healthy dog is reported to live two years longer than an overweight one. Fortunately, there are important tips that guide you in helping your pet handle its enormous issue.
Well, the typical remedy for weight gain is simply exercise. A regular exercise is highly recommended for the furry friend. Taking a walk every morning for only twenty minutes could be a great way into improving significantly the health of your pet. But if you just happen to get a hectic schedule along the week, you may also get toys to help it perform with and run around.
Exercise goes together with dietary. You should cut down on snacks consumed by the dog. Letting you dog consume too much snacks along with their regular meals is a massive contributor to weight gain and if you are not careful they end up becoming fat. Bear in mind that sometimes dogs request for food not because they are hungry but simply because they are eager to see meals about them. You should regulate the amount they consume especially when you're convinced they're eating enough.
In addition to that, have a proper, well regulated feeding time. It is not advisable even to human beings to be ingesting all through the night and day. Your dog should not be fed whenever they want to but rather have rigorous timetable for feeding it such as during family meal time. But if you are also captured in between active schedule and not available in the daytime and about lunch hours, then you might consider having an automated feeding bawl that dispenses food at specified time so as to get peace of mind when you aren't around. Normally, dogs are fed two to four times per day depending upon the strain.
The food that is given to your dog at this stipulated time should also be measured, and not just pilling a lamb of meal on the bawl. It's advisable to have an accurate scale to ensure you are getting the right amount.
Finally, it's also a good idea to know the sort of foods which you are feeding your pet. Purchase food that promote weight reduction and not the other way around. Speak to your veterinarian if you are not sure.

The knee is a "hinge type" joint which is formed by two bones held together by flexible ligaments. The bones are the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone). The knee cap (patella) also forms part of the knee joint.
The moving parts of a normal knee are covered with a layer of articular cartilage which is a white smooth substance about 1/4 of an inch thick on the patella and 1/8 of an inch thick on the femur and tibia.
An x-ray of the knee normally shows space (the "joint space") between the femur and the tibia as well as between the femur and the patella. This is not empty space but represents the cartilage (which does not show up on x-rays).
The smooth, cartilage-covered surfaces of the knee move on each other with very little friction in the normal joint. In the normal knee the "joint space" is approximately 1/4 of an inch wide and fairly even in outline.

Online RN-BSN programs are becoming increasingly important for nurses who need to get a bachelor's degree to retain their job. Some hospitals are either only hiring nurses with a BSN degree and requiring currently employed nurses to obtain a BSN degree within a certain number of years.
Pending legislation in several states that would require all RNs to have a BSN degree has prompted a few hospitals to start requiring BSN degrees right now. For nurses who work full-time, this is not easy. Many nurses are already juggling work and family responsibilities, and attending school several nights a week would be a hardship for them.
With online RN-BSN programs, a nurse can attend classes where and when she chooses. For nurses that work evening and night shifts, this is especially convenient. Many programs only require a certain number of assignments to be completed each week, when a person completes them is up to them. A nurse who wants to take an extra shift (or is mandated to work overtime) does not have to worry about missing his or her class.
As nursing and patient care becomes more complex and hospital patients are older and sicker than ever before, expect more hospitals to hire BSNs over RNs. The theory is that the more education a nurse has, the better quality of patient are he or she can provide. While not every nurse agrees with this statement, it really only matters what hospitals ad other facilities that hire nurses believe. Besides, studies have shown that hospitals employing higher proportions of nurses with a BSN as opposed to an RN diploma, surgical patients experienced lower mortality rates.
RNs are highly encouraged to look into online RN-BSN programs before their employer mandates training. It could mean the difference between a promotion as it shows a proactive approach to patient care as opposed to waiting around for a BSN to be required.

11/07/05 11:32:59 - Going Home -- Pt. I
After spending a fair amount of time in the hospital staying with Aren, Kath was inspired to buy a Game Cube of her own. Saturday, she brought her newest game: Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix. For those not familiar with "Dance Dance Revolution", the game goes something like this: You are given a mat that has sensors that can tell where you're standing or stepping. The screen tells you which buttons to step on in which order and in what combinations of rhythms. If you can't keep up, you're out.
Who would have thought that getting Aren to exercise would be as easy as turning it into a video game? Aren played the game for about 45 minutes straight Saturday evening. 45 minutes of stepping, jumping and stomping. Aren even started imitating Mario's "Warm-up" moves. (I'm hoping to be able to post a short clip, if we can spare the bandwidth.) When I called, it actually took effort to pull him away from the game long enough to talk to me.
We chatted about how fun the game is and how it's really hard exercise. After a few minutes, he was ready to get back to the game, but first he asked if he could tell me something.
"Dad, I like my new bone marrow."
"I'm glad, Aren."

Where we live, we only have the Utah County bookmobile available to us. We still go every 2 weeks, and my kids check out as many books as they can carry. However, if there is a new book they have been wanting to read, one they have heard about from their friends, or really anywhere else, the bookmobile usually doesn't have it. Luckily they all have school libraries where it is a priority to get fun, current, age appropriate books for them to check out, love, and read. Please approve the increase in funding that they have requested. Sincerely, Amara Bray

Locating information with uncertainty in fully interconnected networks
We consider the problem of searching for a piece of information in a fully interconnected computer network (or clique) by exploiting advice about its location from the network nodes. Each node contains a database that "knows" what kind of documents or information are stored in other nodes (e.g. a node could be a Web server that answers queries about documents stored on the Web). The databases in each node, when queried, provide a pointer that leads to the node that contains the information. However, this information is up-to-date (or correct) with some bounded probability. While, in principle, one may always locate the information by simply visiting the network nodes in some prescribed ordering, this requires a time complexity in the order of the number of nodes of the network. In this paper, we provide algorithms for locating an information node in the complete communication network, that take advantage of advice given from network nodes. The nodes may either give correct advice, by pointing directly to the information node, or give wrong advice by pointing elsewhere. We show that, on the average, if the probability p that a node provides correct advice is asymptotically larger than 1/ra, where n is the number of the computer nodes, then the average time complexity for locating the information node is, asymptotically, 1/p or 2/p depending on the available memory. The probability p may, in general.

If only he were in this part of England for such a whimsical reason. While Mrs. Bennet nattered on about placing bets and how she'd heard that some of the men in the village were known to play cards for money, George mulled over the true reason he was in the vicinity of Hertfordshire.
After his dinner at White's with Max and the snide comment made by the Viscount Stanhope, George realized that the man Evangeline shot was non other than Stanhope's valet. He recollected the surprised expression on the valet's face when he first entered the room, which convinced George that his presence at Evangeline's home was not expected. As the valet died with that information there was a good possibility Stanhope was still in the dark about George's covert activities.
Then again, Stanhope might not be involved at all. Servants heard and saw the underbelly of London Society and a cunning one could use that information to upgrade their station in life. However, George was convinced the valet was not one to willingly get his hands dirty, which led him back to taking a closer look at Stanhope.
He planned to reconnoiter Stanhope's estate and see if anything, other than a very dead valet, pointed to his involvement with the French. Running over a beautiful young woman on the road was not part of the plan and with that one small diversion, his hope of remaining incognito had gone up in a plume of lavender scented smoke.Thank you for participating in this weekend writing exercise.

Dartmoor is an area of moorland in the centre of Devon, England. Protected by National Park status, it covers 954 square kilometres (368 sq mi).[1]
The granite upland dates from the Carboniferous period of geological history. The moorland is capped with many exposed granite hilltops (known as tors), providing habitats for Dartmoor wildlife. The highest point is High Willhays, 621 m (2,037 ft) above sea level. The entire area is rich in antiquities and archaeology.
Dartmoor is managed by the Dartmoor National Park Authority whose 22 members are drawn from Devon County Council, local District Councils and Government.
Parts of Dartmoor have been used as a military firing range for over two hundred years. The public enjoy extensive access rights to the rest of Dartmoor, and it is a popular tourist destination. The Park was featured on the TV programme Seven Natural Wonders as the top natural wonder in South West England.
Dartmoor includes the largest area of granite in Britain, with about 625 square kilometres (241 sq mi) at the surface, though most of it is under superficial peat deposits. The granite (or more accurately adamellite) was intruded at depth as a pluton into the surrounding sedimentary rocks during the Carboniferous period, probably about 309 million years ago.[2] It is generally accepted that the present surface is not far below the original top of the pluton; evidence for this includes partly-digested shale xenoliths, contamination of the granite and the existence of two patches of altered sedimentary rock on top of the granite.[3] A considerable gravity anomaly is associated with the Dartmoor pluton as with other such plutons.[citation needed] Measurement of the anomaly has helped to determine the likely shape and extent of the rock mass at depth.
Dartmoor is known for its tors – large hills, topped with outcrops of bedrock, which in granite country such as this are usually rounded boulder-like formations. More than 160 of the hills of Dartmoor have the word "Tor" in them but quite a number do not[1] . However this does not appear to relate to whether or not there is an outcrop of rock on their summit. The tors are the focus of an annual event known as the Ten Tors Challenge, when over a thousand people aged between 14 and 21 walk for distances of 56, 72 or 88 km (35, 45 or 55 mi) over ten tors on many differing routes.
The highest points on Dartmoor are on the northern moor: High Willhays, 621 m (2,037 ft), (grid reference SX580895) and Yes Tor, 619 m (2,031 ft), (grid reference SX581901) The highest points on the southern moor are Ryder's Hill, 515 m (1,690 ft), (grid reference SX690660), Snowdon 495 m (1,624 ft), and an unnamed point of 493 m (1,617 ft) at (grid reference SX603645). Probably the best known tor on Dartmoor is Haytor (also spelt Hey Tor), 457 m (1,499 ft), (grid reference SX757771). For a more complete list see List of Dartmoor tors and hills.
The high ground of Dartmoor forms the catchment area for many of Devon's rivers. As well as shaping the landscape, these have traditionally provided a source of power for moor industries such as tin mining and quarrying.
The moor takes its name from the River Dart, which starts as the East Dart and West Dart and then becomes a single river at Dartmeet. It leaves the moor at Buckfastleigh, flowing through Totnes below where it opens up into a long ria, reaching the sea at Dartmouth.

Much more rain falls on Dartmoor than in the surrounding lowlands. As much of the national park is covered in thick layers of peat, the rain is usually absorbed quickly and distributed slowly, so the moor is rarely dry. In areas where water accumulates, dangerous bogs or mires can result. Some of these, up to 3.7 metres (12 ft) across and topped with bright green moss, are known to locals as "feather beds" or "quakers", because they shift (or 'quake') beneath your feet. Quakers result from sphagnum moss growing over the water that accumulates in the hollows in the granite.[4][5]
The vegetation of the bogs depends on the type and location. Blanket bog, which forms on the highest land where the rainfall exceeds 2,000 mm (80 in) a year, consists mainly of cotton-grass (Eriophorum species), sedges (Carex and Rhynchospora), Bog Asphodel and Common Tormentil, with Sphagnum thriving in the wettest patches. The valley bogs have lush growth of rushes, with sphagnum, cross-leaved heath, sundews and several other species.[6]
Some of the bogs on Dartmoor have achieved notoriety, the most notable being Fox Tor Mires, supposedly the inspiration for Great Grimpen Mire in Conan Doyle's novel The Hound of the Baskervilles.[7] Sabine Baring-Gould, in his Book of Dartmoor (1900) related the story of a man who was making his way through Aune Mire at the head of the River Avon when he came upon a top-hat brim down on the surface of the mire. He kicked it, whereupon a voice called out: "What be you a-doin' to my 'at?" The man replied, "Be there now a chap under'n?" "Ees, I reckon," was the reply, "and a hoss under me likewise."[8]
|Climate chart (explanation)
Along with the rest of South West England, Dartmoor has a temperate climate which is generally wetter and milder than locations at similar height in the rest of England. At Princetown, near the centre of the moor at a height of 453 metres (1,486 ft), January and February are the coldest months with mean minimum temperatures around 1 °C (34 °F). July and August are the warmest months with mean daily maxima not reaching 18 °C (64 °F). Compared with Teignmouth, which is on the coast about 22 miles to the east, the average maximum and minimum temperatures are 3.0 °C and 2.6 °C lower respectively, and air frost is at least five times as frequent.[10] On the highest ground, in the north of the moor, the growing season is less than 175 days - this contrasts with some 300 days along most of the south coast of the county.[10]
Rainfall tends to be associated with Atlantic depressions or with convection. In summer, convection caused by solar surface heating sometimes forms shower clouds and a large proportion of rainfall falls from showers and thunderstorms at this time of year. The wettest months are November and December and on the highest parts of the moor the average annual total rainfall is over 2000 mm (about 80 in). This compares with less than 800 mm (31.5 in) in the lower land to the east around the Exe Estuary, which is in the rain shadow of the moor.[11]
Between 1961 and 1990 Met Office data shows that there was an average of 20 days when snow fell on the moor, and over 40 days a year with hail, which is as high as anywhere else in the country. This results when cold polar maritime air that has travelled over a large expanse of warmer ocean is forced to rise over high country.[11]
When average temperatures at Princetown between 1961–2000 are compared, the average annual temperature in the decade 1990–2000 was up by 0.2 °C, and the late winter temperature increased by 0.5 °C.[12]
The majority of the prehistoric remains on Dartmoor date back to the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age. Indeed, Dartmoor contains the largest concentration of Bronze Age remains in the United Kingdom, which suggests that this was when a larger population moved onto the hills of Dartmoor. The large systems of Bronze Age fields, divided by reaves, cover an area of over 10,000 hectares (39 sq mi) of the lower moors.[13]
The climate at the time was warmer than today, and much of today's moorland was covered with trees. The prehistoric settlers began clearing the forest, and established the first farming communities. Fire was the main method of clearing land, creating pasture and swidden types of fire-fallow farmland. Areas less suited for farming tended to be burned for livestock grazing. Over the centuries these Neolithic practices greatly expanded the upland moors, and contributed to the acidification of the soil and the accumulation of peat and bogs.[14]
The highly acidic soil has ensured that no organic remains have survived, but the durability of the granite has meant that the remains of buildings, enclosures and monuments have survived well, as have flint tools. It should be noted that a number of remains were "restored" by enthusiastic Victorians and that, in some cases, they have placed their own interpretation on how an area may have looked.
Numerous menhirs (more usually referred to locally as standing stones or longstones), stone circles, kistvaens, cairns and stone rows are to be found on the moor. The most significant sites include:
There are also an estimated 5,000 hut circles still surviving, despite the fact that many have been raided over the centuries by the builders of the traditional dry stone walls. These are the remnants of Bronze Age houses. The smallest are around 1.8 m (6 ft) in diameter, and the largest may be up to five times this size.
Some have L-shaped porches to protect against wind and rain; some particularly good examples are to be found at Grimspound. It is believed that they would have had a conical roof, supported by timbers and covered in turf or thatch.
There are also numerous kistvaens, Neolithic stone box-like tombs.
Many ancient structures, including the hut circles at Grimspound, were reconstructed during the 19th century; most notably by civil engineer and historian Richard Hansford Worth. Some of this work was based more on speculation than archaeological expertise, and has since been criticised for its inaccuracy.
The climate worsened over the course of a thousand years from around 1000 BC, so that much of high Dartmoor was largely abandoned by its early inhabitants.
It was not until the early medieval period that the weather again became warmer, and settlers moved back onto the moors. Like their ancient forebears, they also used the natural granite to build their homes, preferring a style known as the longhouse – some of which are still inhabited today, although they have been clearly adapted over the centuries. Many are now being used as farm buildings, while others were abandoned and fell into ruin.
The earliest surviving farms, still in operation today, are known as the Ancient Tenements. Most of these date back to the 14th century and sometimes earlier.
Some way into the moor stands the town of Princetown, the site of the notorious Dartmoor Prison, which was originally built both by, and for, prisoners of war from the Napoleonic Wars. The prison has a (now misplaced) reputation for being escape-proof, both due to the buildings themselves and its physical location.
The Dartmoor landscape is scattered with the marks left by the many generations who have lived and worked there over the centuries – such as the remains of the once mighty Dartmoor tin-mining industry, and farmhouses long since abandoned. Indeed the industrial archaeology of Dartmoor is a subject in its own right.
Dartmoor abounds with myths and legends. It is reputedly the haunt of pixies, a headless horseman, a mysterious pack of 'spectral hounds', and a large black dog. During the Great Thunderstorm of 1638, Dartmoor was even said to have been visited by the Devil.
Many landmarks have ancient legends and ghost stories associated with them, such as Jay's Grave, the ancient burial site at Childe's Tomb, the rock pile called Bowerman's Nose, and the stone crosses that mark mediaeval routes across the moor.
A few stories have emerged in recent decades, such as the 'hairy hands', that are said to attack travellers on the B3212 near Two Bridges.
Dartmoor has inspired a number of artists and writers, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Adventure of Silver Blaze, Eden Phillpotts, Beatrice Chase, Agatha Christie, Rosamunde Pilcher, Laurie King, and the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould.
Over half of Dartmoor National Park (57.3%) is private land; the Forest of Dartmoor being the major part of this, owned by the Duke of Cornwall. The Ministry of Defence owns 14% (see below), 3.8% is owned by water companies (see Dartmoor reservoirs), 3.7% by the National Trust, 1.8% by the Forestry Commission and 1.4% by Dartmoor's National Park Authority. About 37% of Dartmoor is Common land.[15]
Dartmoor differs from some other National Parks in England and Wales, in that since the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985[16] much of it has been designated as 'Access Land', which, although it remains privately owned, has no restrictions on where walkers can roam. In addition to this Access Land, there are about 730 km (449 mi) of public rights of way on Dartmoor, and many kilometres of permitted footpaths and bridleways where the owner allows access.[17]
Because of the 1985 Act, Dartmoor was largely unaffected by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, which established similar rights in other rural parts of the country, but in 2006, this Act opened up much of the remaining restricted land to walkers.
There is a tradition of military usage of Dartmoor dating back to the Napoleonic wars. There is still a large British Army training camp at Okehampton – also the site of an airbase during the Second World War.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) uses three areas of the northern moor for manoeuvres and live-firing exercises, totalling 108.71 square kilometres (41.97 sq mi),[1] or just over 11% of the National Park. Red and white posts mark the boundaries of these military areas (shown on Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale maps). Flagpoles on many tors in and around the ranges fly red flags when firing is taking place. At other times, members of the public are allowed access. Blank rounds may also be used, but the MoD does not notify the public of this in advance.
Some "challenge" and charitable events take place with assistance of the military on Dartmoor including the long established Ten Tors event and the more recent Dartmoor Beast.
Throughout human history, the landscape has been exploited for industrial purposes. In recent years, controversy has surrounded the work of industrial conglomerates Imerys and Sibelco (formerly Watts Blake Bearne), who have used parts of the moor for china clay mining. Licences were granted by the British Government but were recently renounced after sustained public pressure from bodies such as the Dartmoor Preservation Association. Many of these licences pre-date much of the heavy machinery which is in use today. Imerys were singled out for particular criticism after work at Lee Moor destroyed a number of archaeologically significant sites.
The British government has made promises to protect the integrity of the moor; however, the cost of compensating companies for these licences, which may not have been granted in today's political climate, could prove prohibitive.
The military use of the moor has been another source of controversy, such as when training was extended in January 2003. The National Park Authority received 1,700 objections before making the decision. Objectors claimed that Dartmoor should be an area for recreation, and that the training disturbs the peace.
Those who objected included the Open Spaces Society and the Dartmoor Preservation Association. During her lifetime, Lady Sayer was another outspoken critic of the damage which she perceived that the army was doing to the moor.
Dartmoor has a resident population of about 33,000,[1] which swells considerably during holiday periods with incoming tourists. The largest settlements within the National Park are Ashburton (the largest with population about 3,500), Buckfastleigh, Moretonhampstead, Princetown, Yelverton, Horrabridge, South Brent, Christow and Chagford.[1]

Until the early 19th century Dartmoor was not considered to be a place worth visiting: in the 1540s John Leland wrote in his Itinerary that "Dartmore is muche a wilde Morish and forest Ground", and even by 1789 Richard Gough's opinion was that it is a "dreary mountainous tract".[20] At the turn of the 19th century John Swete was one of the first people to visit Dartmoor for pleasure and his journals and watercolour paintings now provide a valuable historical resource.[21]
The oldest leisure pursuit on the moor is hill walking. William Crossing's definitive Guide to Dartmoor was published in 1909, and in 1938 a plaque and letterbox in his memory were placed at Duck's Pool on the southern moor. Parts of the Two Moors Way and the Templer Way are on Dartmoor.[22]
Letterboxing originated on Dartmoor in the 19th century and has become increasingly popular in recent decades. Watertight containers, or 'letterboxes', are hidden throughout the moor, each containing a visitor's book and a rubber stamp. Visitors take an impression of the letterbox's rubber stamp as proof of finding the box and record their visit by stamping their own personal stamp in the letterbox's logbook. A recent related development is geocaching. Geocache clues make use of GPS coordinates, whereas letterboxing clues tend to consist of grid references and compass bearings.
Whitewater kayaking and canoeing are popular on the rivers due to the high rainfall and their high quality,[23] though for environmental reasons access is restricted to the winter months.[24] The River Dart is the most prominent meeting place, the section known as the Loop being particularly popular.
Other activities are rock climbing on the granite tors and outcrops, some of the well-known venues being Haytor, Hound Tor and The Dewerstone;[25] horse riding, which can be undertaken on any of the common land;[26] cycling (but not on open moorland);[27] and angling for wild brown trout, sea trout and salmon—although much of the river fishing on Dartmoor is privately owned, permits are available for some stretches.[28]
Dartmoor National Park covers a large area of Devon in the West Country of England.
The 'Forest' of Dartmoor refers to a hunting area rather than an area of woodland. This is one of the best areas in the UK for bronze age remains and much of the moor seems almost littered with stone circles, stone rows and burial stones.
Dartmoor forest; Dartmoor prison at Princetown, built during the Napoleonic wars; Conan Doyle's book, The Hound of the Baskervilles featuring Sherlock Holmes is set in foggy Dartmoor. Tin mining has had an important role in Dartmoor's history. The so-called stannary towns had their own assemblies, laws and courts and there was even a stannary gaol. Rabbit rearing was important once and there are places still carrying the name of Warren. More recently the china clay industry provided the raw materials for the Potteries area of Staffordshire.
Moorland, rocky tors & quite a lot of wet places called bogs. Tors are hills with granite outcrops.
Ferns, wild ponies, Dartmoor cattle. Foxes, Buzzard & badgers in reasonable quantity.
Can be very changeable. You can be sun-burnt and get lost in mist on the same day.
Plan to be on foot to see Dartmoor's best. There are lots of lay-bys where it is safe to leave your car all day. There are plenty of tors to climb and rugged footpaths between them. Energetic children can also manage hours of hiking on Dartmoor as the terrain is suitable. Bring plenty of drinking water and dress for changing weather (layers and water-proofs). A decent set of weather proof hiking boots make for a more comfortable walk on Dartmoor as there's plenty of wet marshy land to cross.
Letterboxing is very similar to the much newer craze of Geo-caching, but has been around a lot longer.
Like geo-caching each post/letter box consists of a small weather-proof box which contains a rubber stamp and may also contain a note pad. The stamp designs are limited only by the imagination of the person who placed them, and come in a very wide range sizes. As you find each box you record your visit by taking an impression of the located stamp. Finding the boxes usually requires a series of clues, ranging from the very easy, to the fiendishly difficult. Most letterboxes are placed on the moor by private individuals, who give their clues to friends and family. Some clues will be made available for the wider community to find. Some boxes are placed by charities/groups wishing to raise a little money. These charity boxes normally form the basis of a circular route, in a particular part of Dartmoor, and usually consist of a set of stamps with a common theme. These are also only available for a short period and the clue sheets are sold for a nominal fee. Most people who do letterboxing on a regular basis will usually have their own stamp which they carry around with them to put in the notepad of the boxes they find.
Letterboxing on Dartmoor has a big following in the local region and beyond. You will find people who go out for an hour or two on their way home from work, as well as people who come down from all over, to spend a week walking to find new and exciting stamps.
The number of boxes is constantly changing as people lose, update or simply remove stamps.

The Old Police Station in Princetown serves some of the best fish and chips on the moors.
Campsites in Dartmoor are scattered sparsely over the National Park. Rough camping/bivying is allowed but is restricted in many areas. Worth checking the local information centres and the park website for the restrictions.
Otherwise a really good way of finding a tent pitch is to ring up farms. A fair number who aren't denoted as campsites on Ordnance Survey maps nevertheless will offer a pitch for a nominal fee (a few pounds per night). They usually have phone numbers available through a quick web search. They have the added advantage of being quieter and in fantastic locations for backpacking.
North Dartmoor:
Dartmoor can be a deceptively dangerous place. The weather is very changeable and you could get surrounded in mist very quickly, in the summer it can get extremely hot and you may not be able to find shade for several miles . If you're planning on going out for a walk of any length on Dartmoor, it is best to know how to read a map and use a compass, this is vital if you plan to go off the beaten track, it can be almost impossible to navigate some areas and you will end up walking in circles. If you must use a GPS, take plenty of spare batteries.
As with any outdoor activity, it is always best to let somebody know where you're going and how long you expect to be.

DARTMOOR, a high plateau in the south-west of Devonshire, England. Its length is about 23 m. from N. to S. and its extreme breadth 20 m., the mean altitude being about 1500 ft. The area exceeding 1000 ft. in elevation is about 200 sq. m. It is the highest and easternmost in a broken chain of granitic elevations which extends through Cornwall to the Scilly Isles. The higher parts are open, bleak and wild, strongly contrasting with the more gentle scenery of the well-wooded lowlands surrounding it. Sloping heights rise from the main tableland in all directions, crested with broken masses of granite, locally named tors, and often singularly fantastic in outline. The highest of these are Yes Tor and High Willhays in the north-west, reaching altitudes of 2028 and 2039 ft. Large parts of the moor, especially in the centre, are covered with morasses; and head-waters of all the principal streams of Devonshire are found here. Two main roads cross the moor, one between Exeter and Plymouth, and the other between Ashburton and Tavistock, intersecting at Two Bridges. Both avoid the higher part of the moor, which, for the rest, is traversed only in part by a few rough tracks. The central part of Dartmoor was a royal forest from a date unknown, but apparently anterior to the Conquest. Its woods were formerly more extensive than now, but a few small tracts in which dwarf oaks are characteristic remain in the lower parts. Previous to 1337, the forest had been granted to Richard, earl of Cornwall, by Henry III., and from that time onward it has belonged to the duchy of Cornwall. The districts immediately surrounding the moor are called the Venville or Fenfield districts. The origin of this name is not clear. The holders of land by Venville tenure under the duchy have rights of pasture, fishing, &c. in the forest, and their main duty is to "drive" the moor at certain times in order to ascertain what head of cattle are pastured thereon,. and to prevent trespassing. The antiquarian remains of Dartmoor are considered among those of Devonshire.
Dartmoor convict prison, near Princetown, was adapted to its present purpose in 1850; but the original buildings were erected in 1809 for the accommodation of French prisoners. A tract of moorland adjacent to the prison has been brought under cultivation by the inmates.
See S. Rowe, Perambulation of the. .. forest of Dartmoor (Plymouth, 1848); J. L. W. Page, Exploration of Dartmoor (London, 1889); S. Baring-Gould, Book of Dartmoor (London, 1900).

Dartmoor is a national park in Devon, a county in England. Its highest point is High Willhays, 621 metres high. This is the highest point in the south of England. It has a large area of moorland, and is very hilly. There is much woodland on its lower slopes.
Dartmoor is famous for its tors - outcrops of rock on top of many of its hills. These are the remains of volcanic activity in the carboniferous period.
Animal life on Dartmoor includes birds such as the ring ouzel and dunlin, and the endangered marsh fritillary butterfly. Its bogs are home to many unusual plants such as the sundew.
Dartmoor has many very old buildings. Some of these buildings date back to the Stone Age, for example, Beardown Man.

Below is an article we wrote for Independent Thinking, a specialist magazine that focuses on the independent merchants.
In an industry built from bricks, sand and timber I don't suppose there's a dirtier word than 'branding'. Which is a shame because out of all the tools at a company's disposal their 'brand' should be the most powerful and effective for sustainable growth.
It wasn't so long ago the independent yards only had to contend with the larger networks for customers. With the advent of the internet and the renewed focus towards builders by DIY chains like B&Q, the battle for shifting bricks has got ever more difficult.
New kids on the breeze-block like Amazon, traditionally a bookseller, are proving to be more than a distraction to the bottom line too.
Companies have no choice but to evolve, as customer expectation has risen to match the experiences they have grown used to in their personal lives. This is being exacerbated by the sophisticated selling techniques that the DIY chains learnt in the consumer market. And who knows where mobile marketing will end, with 75% of builders now using their phones to engage with their suppliers.
As the construction market rises to its feet, there has never been a better time to re-evaluate a brand's worth.
The golden rule to remember is: 'Your brand isn't what you, your shareholders or your staff think it is. Your brand can only be what everybody else thinks it is.' So in the mind of the customer, your brand will probably be judged by the last experience that they've had with it.
Which leads us nicely on to the other side of the counter or the desk. Staff are a company's biggest asset: they are the ambassadors of your brand and play a large part in how a business is perceived. As you would expect, a helpful member of staff usually escalates in a customer's mind, creating a helpful company. Obviously a bad experience can do the complete reverse.
Needless to say, for any brand to be successful it's vital that all staff buy into it. And it's fine to make your promise aspirational, but don't make it unreachable. Any brand that makes promises it can never keep is guaranteed to fail in the long run. You can't say it out loud, but trust is king in any industry.
So the first question. What do you stand for? We know Volvo stands for safety and reliability, Dulux want to add more colour to your world and Wickes guarantee a level of service and expertise by 'putting their name on it'.
The important thing to remember when looking at a brand positioning is – it takes time for it to stick. The brands mentioned have spent a long time continually reinforcing their promise through every step of the customer journey, gradually building 'long-term brand equity'.
With this in mind, if a company is looking at refreshing or revolutionising their brand they should start with the promise, use it as a measure, and then look at all the components from the logo to operations, keeping anything that measures up. There's no business sense in throwing out any brand equity on a whim. But only keep the parts that measure up.
And when a company takes a brand audit, it's vital they dig deep. They have to look past the logo and colours, they have to look at everything – even the operational side of the business. Companies have to look at the way they speak, interact and engage with staff, partners, suppliers and most importantly customers.
It's not good enough for a business to tell people they 'deliver fast and first time after time' if they only have one delivery truck. It's much better to say 'we deliver on time, every time', making sure an achievable delivery time is given with every order received. Companies have to do what they say, all the time, for trust to be built and sustained.
If a brand gets full commitment from everyone from the counter to the boardroom then there's no telling what opportunities could arise. Think of a strong, distinct brand as adding extra teeth to your Mitre Saw. It becomes self-fulfilling. For example, companies with the best brands attract better people more consistently. And at a time when attracting new talent to the industry is proving to be difficult, lifting a company above the others suddenly becomes a sound investment.
Getting the brand right has a great impact on messaging and communication. It can give Builders Merchants more impetus to challenge for more work.
Companies that tackle the general apathy amongst builders towards sustainable and environmental issues could suddenly open up a new cash stream. Likewise, if a brand can really help Britain to build more by raising awareness of the government incentives on offer, they should see a positive difference to their profits.
So in essence, branding isn't some fluffy word out of place in an industry born of brick, timber and steel. It's the most powerful tool a business has at its disposal. And used properly it could help build a business that truly goes beyond the extra yard.
Andy Bolter is the creative director of Pepper Corporation, an independent, entrepreneurial, creative communications agency that does 'Whatever it takes' to create ideas that give brands more concrete for their foundations.

The overall objective is to develop a better, affordable hearing aid. The specific objective of this R24 Developmental Grant application is to prepare a research grant application that will provide the means for pursuing the goal of developing and evaluating this improved hearing aid. In order to prepare a viable grant proposal it is necessary to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed methods. Computer simulation will be used to develop a virtual hearing aid (VHA);i.e., one that exists in the software of a computer plus a hardware interface that is very similar, if not identical, to the input and output hardware of an actual hearing aid. The use of computer simulation will allow for the rapid and convenient development of an experimental VHA. This instrument will be used to explore different approaches to the development of a better, affordable hearing aid. The most promising of these approaches will be the focus of the grant proposal to be prepared.
More than 36 million Americans have a hearing loss. Hearing loss has a substantial negative impact on quality of life, including significant social, psychological, cognitive and general health problems. This project addresses the problems limiting the effectiveness of hearing aids. The overall goal is to develop a better hearing aid to improve the quality of life of people with hearing loss.

After studying Chinese at the University of Washington for two years, I decided I wanted to spend summer 2003 studying Chinese in Beijing. I applied and was accepted to a program of Chinese study at Beijing University. Planning ahead, I bought plane tickets from Seattle to Beijing, arriving June 21 and leaving September 15, a total of 88 days. In the end, the program at Beijing University was canceled due to SARS. However, being stubborn, and greatly looking forward to being able to visit China, I went anyway and spent the whole summer traveling through China, sometimes alone, sometimes with Chinese people I met on the way. The purpose of this website is to share the adventures I had there.

My China experience is not over; in fact it is only just beginning. On February 2, 2004 I went back to China to study Chinese at Beijing Normal University. After studying there for a semester, Xiujuan and I moved to Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, where my good friend and I started a custom manufacturing outsourcing business. On November 2, 2006 Xiujuan I got married, and in January 2008 we set up a small plastic injection molding factory of our own. See our ChinaForge.com website for details.

Hearthstone is fun and easy to play, but man, it sure would be a whole lot easier if I didn't have to, you know, touch things. Like my mouse. I mean, I haven't cleaned it in years…
Fortunately, one man's got the answer. Streamer and YouTuber Billyisms has engineered a way to play Hearthstone entirely with voice commands, and it's something to watch. He promises to put a tutorial up on his forum soon that will teach others how to set it up, which could be of benefit not only to germophobes but also to people with disabilities. Or the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
My only question regarding his system — which you can see him demonstrate on his Twitch channel when he streams — is why he needs to specify card position, like "Play card three of five." Wouldn't "Play card three" work just as well and save him a little time? In any case, it's an outstanding system he's got set up. Let them come!

Heh this isn't new but those damn companies never do anything that isn't 99.9% guarantees buck in their coffers, perhaps this will convince them and they will start pumping more of the usual trash games but with this feature included now? we'll see. xD
O M G, someone must hire this guy asap and shower him with money. response time needs to improve just a little bit. nearly every round he almost runs out of time. BUT HOLY F***WTFBBQ THIS IS GENIUS.
Regarding your question about his system when playing cards. Here's my educational guess.
The program is scripted to click on a certain coordinate on his view. However, you cannot just say "Play Card 3", because the coordinate for card 3 is different when you have 4 cards in your hand compared to 6 cards in your hand. Same goes for your cards and the enemies cards that are in play on the field. "Minion 1" could be anywhere on the field. It could be in the middle, or to the far left. So when he says "Card 1 out of 4", it is applying it's own specific coordinate.
Hope that helps.
very cool but useless, still cool

The Touch Of Others Makes Us Who We AreMarch 20, 2015 | Consciousness | J.RichardsonNot only does touch seem to signal trust and cooperation, it creates them. Our sense of touch does much more than help us navigate the world at our fingertips. It is becoming clear that touching each other plays a fundamental role in our lives. It isn't just a sentimental human indulgence, says Francis McGlone at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. "It is a biological necessity."
Honey on Tap Directly From Your Own Beehive March 11, 2015 | Sustainability | A.McCarthyA revolutionary beehive invention is making history, allowing you to harvest your own honey without opening a hive and with minimal disturbance to the bees.

Mindfulness Is More Effective Than Drugs For Both Anxiety and DepressionMarch 10, 2015 | Consciousness | M.ForresterMindfulness is "the intentional, accepting and non-judgemental focus of one's attention on the emotions, thoughts and sensations occurring in the present moment", which can be trained by a large extent in meditation practices. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published the results of a ground-breaking study that found that meditation appears to provide as much relief from some anxiety and depression symptoms as antidepressants.
16 Excuses To Transform Into Powerful AffirmationsMarch 9, 2015 | Consciousness | EditorWhat would my life look like without these excuses and how would it feel?

Love Has No Labels Transcending All JudgementMarch 5, 2015 | Consciousness | J.RichardsonWhile the vast majority of people consider themselves unprejudiced, many of us unintentionally make snap judgments about others based on what we see--whether it's race, age, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability. This may be a significant reason many people report they feel discriminated against. Subconscious prejudice--called "implicit bias"--has profound implications for how we view and interact with others who are different from us. It can hinder a person's ability to find a job, secure a loan, rent an apartment, or get a fair trial, perpetuating disparities in society. The Love Has No Labels campaign challenges us to open our eyes to our bias and prejudice and work to stop it in ourselves, our friends, our families, and our colleagues. Rethink your bias at lovehasnolabels.com.
We Still Live In A World Where Many Believe...March 4, 2015 | Consciousness | M.TorresThe status quo is reality. People don't question the existing state of affairs, especially if it's been repeated enough times as the norm in the name of social, scientific and economic progress. But how do we define progress in our species? Through advancements in energy, economics, agriculture, technology? All of the above? What about advancements in Humanity?

Did some pretty baller stuff last night. I was out in LES solo. Approached a few girls, didn't really see much so I left the bar to hit the sidewalk. Saw a girl pulling the classic I'm waiting for an Uber stance. Walk up to her, can see that it's on, makeout within a minute. Ask her about her night, what she's doing now. She says whatever but the way she phrases her words and the way she looks at me, I know that she wants me to stay with her.
So her Uber pulls up, I open the door for her, she gets in and I get in after her. We have not spoken a word about this, I just did it. Inside, see that she's understandably a bit nervous so I tell a story. She relaxes, we have a fun ride, get to Greenpoint where she lives. She says I can come upstairs. Unfortunately, as we're sneaking in there, smack in the middle of the living room is her roommate with a guy. Being cool, the cool says,
"I don't think she I know you. My name's John."
Stands up and shakes my hand. The girls are fucking dying from laughter at the absurdity of this situation. My girl is embarrassed, takes us outside and I never convince her that going back to her bedroom is the best life course. She says to take her number, says we should meet up this weekend when her roommate isn't around. We makeout and I leave.
*I was able to do all this because she wasn't that cute. I gave zero fucks and felt fully entitled to act in any way I saw fit. If I could just carry this level of indifference and ballsy behavior to all girls I think that I would do very well for myself. This is a really interesting idea because I don't think entitlement is as set as we think. I think the bigger issue for me is that I don't really feel like a boss in NYC right now. I'm not spending money because I'm saving, I live in a shitty part of town and I'm working a job that less rewarding than washing dishes. Why the fuck should I feel entitled to the hottest women? On the other hand, some guys have it way worse and bang all sorts of girls. This whole thing is a bit of a mindfuck and something that I think about daily.
*Currently, my biggest sticking point: I need to close harder. That's it. Staying in set and pushing to get the girl back to my place, asking multiple times, trying in multiple ways and not giving up. At this point this is more important than my eye contact, making out, dealing with friends, approaching, staying in set, fucking whatever else. I've got all of that handled to a good level, failing to be a hard closer is my number one sticking point right now. Which leads me to..
*My natural buddy who sleeps with an ungodly number of girls. He has massive holes in his game, he admits that he's prone to running out of things to say and other seemingly beginner issues. But he succeeds because he does three things extremely well. He approaches everything, he gets physical almost immediately and he closes like a motherfucker. His game is to walk up to a girl, say whatever, go for the makeout then invite her to the after party at his place. It's unreal how many women he sleeps with and when I compare my game to his, the biggest difference I see is that he's always fucking closing, and I'm not.

Our Date Night-In
Seriously we died laughing in this activity in which one partner used duct tape to create an obstacle course and then guided their blind folded partner through the course using just words. Josh actually took a video of me completing the course he created but we are laughing so hard you can't understand us so I decided not to post.
This was a game in which you had to draw your dream day at the beach while blind folded. You did it several different ways (guided by the box). I think I did pretty good (see my drawing below) clearly it is us and our kids, a beach umbrella, waves, and a sunny day. ;)

Sahar Tabar came clean after photo experts accused her of creating the pictures with photoshop, after spotting blurring in the background of her pictures.
The 19-year-old explained that she created the "corpse bride" look through Photoshop and makeup effects.
She told Sputnik : "Now I can see that I have something in common with (Angelina Jolie), but I amuse myself, and to look like someone is not my goal.
"Over time I post a photo, I make my face more fun and funny, it is a form of self-expression, a kind of art," she continued. "My fans know that this is not my real face."
Showcasing skeletal cheeks and a pointy nose, in one photo she covered her brown eyes with shocking white contacts, as she pouts her plumped-up lips for the camera. And now she says it's all fake!

The Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce is launching a new program targeting entrepreneurs in the Sumter area interested in learning the four keys to starting a successful business. According to a news release from the Chamber, the program will be made up of six courses beginning Oct. 9 and concluding on Nov. 13.
"The Chamber's Small Business Council has been working on this program since the end of last year. We believe the 4 Keys to starting a successful business are finance, legal, accounting and insurance. We have recruited some of the top business leaders in our community to develop a curriculum to better explain the knowledge needed in those four areas of expertise. It is difficult for someone to start and sustain a small business without an above-average working knowledge of all four, not just a few of them," Chris Hardy, president and CEO of the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce, said in the release.
According to the Chamber, the mission of the council is to build relationships with existing Chamber investors and to generate new benefits while monitoring existing ones to ensure members' needs are met. The council works to provide new opportunities to assist member business growth and to support the small business community. With this program, the end goal is to encourage, educate and inspire the entrepreneurial spirit.
"A great product or service comes from outside-the-box thinking and passion; however, sustainability comes from knowing how to run a business," Hardy said.
Applications will be available by Friday on the Chamber's website at www.sumterchamber.com. All applications are due by Sept. 30 by emailing the application to Maureen Dunton at email@example.com or dropping it off at 32 E. Calhoun St.
Only the first 20 applicants will be accepted, so it is imperative to get your application in early.
A program registration fee of $75 is due at the first class on Oct. 9 at 5:30 p.m. All programs will take place at the Chamber office.
For more information about the FUEL program or the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce, visit www.sumterchamber.com or call (803) 775-1231.
