Thanks for posting that comment.
Although I am not completely up to date with technology, I appreaciate your bringing facinating, high brow matterial to your show.
Of course, all this intelligent book-learning / scientific stuff, could be viewed as a Liberal agenda.
Nice presentation.
Keep the Boom up!
sorry bot stuff like this bores me,,, alot
However, i admit to skipping the "wikicalc" part of it.
I don't like loooong field reports, while some can be funny.

First I thought this man was Steven Spielberg... Then I understood that I would not understand a word, so I drank a glass of water...
I progress, slowly...
In response to your question regarding other uses for wikical, I have an answer. In the university where I do tech support, we have a project funded by federal grants that requires a website in which people can share data. Simple. Well, the project is Cost Accounting for Student-Level Resources. As Tech support, I have no idea what they are trying to accomplish with their research, but I do know that they upload and share a lot of spreadsheets. Implementing a wikiCalc would help them tremendously. They would be able to share and edit the spreadsheets as a group, instead of individually. Also, all changes are saved to a central page making collaboration super sweet. Just my thoughts...
Hey Amanda, don't you think today's show was a little bit slow?
humm. i thought this week starts the advertising in the end. or is it next week?
not that i beg for it.
hey i thought it was interesting, seems like an interesting guy.
time to do my taxes urrrrghhhh
Hi Rick,
I'm also happy that Rusty might have a use for wikiCalc in a University environment.
David Berlind wrote up a detailed report on wikiCalc for ZDNet.
Not much of a daily - and what's happened to the Rocketboom volume - we can't hear a thing and the dial is cranked up.
on the good side - no ads yet
Accountancy...draining...will...to...live....Must...go....to archive...Amanda...dancing...St. Petersburg................
"we can't hear a thing"
they are talking math.
consider yourself fortunate.
You have to get a few walks or hit a few singles in order to get a grand slam. We are so used to the grand slams that we fail to acknoledge the other hits that make up Rocketboom. So today, maybe we got a base on balls. Like baseball, with the next at bat, who knows? The game could explode.
Looks cool, doing dynamic figure work in webpages is heavy duty, I use list elements, then process some javascript to pump the numbers into a html form, and then get the form values using more javascript and then make charts.
Its not pretty, but it can be done Before anybody says why not php it - the host I have does not use php.
Way to go Dan
I'm far to be a specialist in that knid of stuff, but seems that web designers like the idea.
I miss the blue balls.
Being an insomniac is no longer an issue. Can I get a HD version of todays vlog? I want to get to sleep faster, and I think seeing it bigger and crisper just might be the trick.
tee hee!
Daer Amanda,
Ok this show was pretty damn boring, if you like spread sheets so much you shulkd play Championship Manager, the spread sheet disguised as a football game
Congrats on the ad deal. I took some stock in Rocketboom at Alexadex, so make me proud! I have to say the field trip was good, but too long. We want Amanda news with remotes not a remote with Amanda bookends.
What other uses? Why, people will use a wikicalc to calculate the distance from my navel to the moon!
Kidding aside, I think 95% of its uses will be to enter tabular data (the sort of data you would expect to find in a database), the same as people currently use spreadsheet software.
I had the same idea as Dan Bricklin a couple of years ago, but came from the "OK, if people want to abuse spreadsheets for tables, why not let them do it using a wiki" direction.
To the non-techy today's show was equal to watching paint dry. But to old uber-geeks like myself, I appreciate learning about this new web app. Without RB I might not have heard about this for a while. I definitely will check this out as I am into building web apps and like cool new toys.
I also found it fun because I remember when Visicalc originally appeared. It was an amazing program and one of the first application programs I bought for my Commodore 64!
I am also glad to see that Dan Bricklin is still alive and coding. Old coders never die, they just adapt to new tech.
now that RB begins to make money, amanda gets interested in spreadsheets, it's logic, I think this wikispreadsheet would work great for your "/manda", it's like that: you make 3 columns, A for a x person(link to other wikispreed profile of the person), B for a y person (perhaps you can add more colums hehe) and a column for C (the probability of success of the match),in C you put a wiki enabled love-formula that calculate different variables as age etc, and people collaborate changing their profiles, perhaps the formula and realizing at last that the world can be reduced to a spreadsheet, when that time comes the numbers contained in the cells of all the spresdsheets around the world will increase if they express good numbers and decrease if they are debts, that's the power of love, and you amanda, you are the beginner of this beautiful movement that will change the world
Totally agree with 'Johnny Cash' about the scrolling text! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE drop this ... it's annoying as hell and I won't watch programs that use it.
As for today's edition, this is the first RB out of the couple dozen I've watched that came across like an ad, start to finish. Some of the other RBs have been brilliant; some just OK ... but they've all had that signature quirky/ironic/offbeat RB perspective that made them worthwhile. Hell, even your self-promo about your successful eBay ad sale (and congrats on that btw) had that genius phone call at the end.
Couldn't quite find it in this one.
How about using a wikicalc to do online polls that calculate realtime results. A website sets up the spreadsheet to allow people to input their data (i.e. how many pets they have or prediction for sports scores), and using a formula in a cell to show the current average (or even cross-relate the results i.e. how close their sports scores predictions were per pets owned). Anyway, interesting show!
i love this podcast!
Forty Wikiwinks later !!!
Your either a spreadsheet "person" or your not. To Vinvin, I enjoyed it with a Rum&Coke myself. I may have to watch it again when my brain is relaxed.
Oh , and Scott... That fast forward tip is pure genius mate.
I laughed out loud , but I'm kinda simple like that ..
I know how Rocketboom can make a million dollars. Steve Garfield's interviews - a cure for insomnia!
It's funny reading the posts by the people who don't get it. Wait, maybe they do get it and just act like they don't get it which means I don't get it.
Is this an example of the exciting life in new yawk city?!? That was about as useless as wikipedia!!!
Wikipedia? Useless!?
I absolutely love what you are doing. I am watching from central London England. What about commercials? Got anybody interested in doing any? Anyway, I'll keep watching....
Where the hell is today's (16th) vlog? Pout.
I am interested in collaborative applications, so found this very interesting. I liked the format of using the video to show the application and have the creator talk about its use. Very effective. I agree with the comments about the scrolling text, that it was distracting and didn't add anything to the comments. Providing you aren't hearing impaired, of course.
I appreciate your continuing to try out different things with the 3 minute video. It is showing the rest of us future creators what works and what can be improved on. Keep up the great work!
i dig this guy. i've used his rss generator script... very cool.
Can someone get Amanda to quit rocking in her chair. I just listen to her because she makes me sick watching her go back and forth.
Check out this excellent article on wikiCalc.
Software pioneer Bricklin tackles wikis
Fantastic Andrew an Amanda
Dan is one of the true elders of the IT/PC world and is to be lauded for his contribution of the spreadsheet when he introduce Visicalc in the late 70's - even though he did not make squillions since one couldn't patent s/w then.
Your support of Dan's latest WikiCalc endeavour is to be lauded too.
Well de.

Honestly, Tumblr, without Missing E's "reply to replies" function, your Reply function is relatively useless.
I don't get it- you are now even preventing me from copying the reply text and pasting it into a new text post.
I mean, God knows how much we all hate a conversation, right!?

text: i kinda wished i didnt eat that hash brownie i got super high though it came at a price. I was so gone out of my mind i was no where near equilibrium then my english prof puts on the documentary Earthlings narrated by Joaquin Phoenix and this movie made me have a fucken anxiety attack while i was fucken baked usually i can handle brutal/gruesome shit but i guess since i was high i was trippin balls. I do recommend that movie it will change your life. I was already a vegetarian but after watching that i do not even want to touch milk either or cheese for that matter. Earthlings should be showed to everyone because we really need to stop depending on animals for sustenance.

ThePuG doesn't use Vent/voice because Gevlon feels that its mostly use to make up for the fact that people don't learn fights. This proves that you CAN be successful without vent, but it doesn't prove that its optimal. Just like any tool, Vent is wonderful if used properly.
If a guild is struggling through content then I think they should use every aid they can. In this particular case lack of a mic doesn't even really seem like the biggest problem this healer has. She doesn't want to take the time/gold to enchant her gear, or learn the fight. Just watching a strat video should answer 50% of the questions about the fight.
I think it all boils down to, if you have some sort of restriction ( no voice chat, etc.. ) then you have to work harder at other aspects of your play/gear to make up for it, it doesn't give you an excuse to be bad.


text: (WNFL)- After two injury-plagued seasons in Green Bay, defensive tackle Jerel Worthy will apparently get a fresh start in New England. Worthy's agent says the Packers will trade the interior lineman from Michigan State to the Patriots, as soon as he passes a physical with that team. Media reports say Green Bay will get a conditional draft pick in return. Worthy had 2.5 sacks in his rookie year before tearing an ACL knee ligament in the final regular season game at Minnesota. Last year, he only played in two games and had one tackle. The Packers still have a plethora of defensive linemen which include starters BJ Raji, Mike Daniels, and Datone Jones -- as well as Josh Boyd and Mike Pennel. Veteran Letroy Guion has missed all of Training Camp so far with a hamstring injury. Speaking of hamstrings, Packers' receiver Jordy Nelson returned to practice on a limited basis yesterday, after missing last Saturday night's exhibition loss at Tennessee with a bad hammie. Nelson says he's not sure about his prognosis at the moment, but things look good. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is gearing up for his pre-season debut on Saturday afternoon at Saint Louis. He's expected to get the most playing time among the four quarterbacks in camp, although he'll mostly have limited snaps.

(WHAS11) - On a bookshelf in my house I have a yellowed, slightly worn book I call my "favorite".
In bold black letters across the front are these words: This I Believe. I think those three words in that order just might be the most powerful phrase I know. What do we believe? How do those beliefs shape your thoughts and direct your actions?
That yellowed, slightly worn paperback is a gift from my mother many years ago. She seldom missed a chance to encourage her journalist daughter. This I Believe: Written for and with a foreword by Edward R. Murrow was published in 1952. Murrow, the patron saint of American broadcast journalists, started This I Believe as a radio series. People from all walks of life wrote essays for the broadcast.
The Murrow book includes essays from well known names like Helen Hayes and Helen Keller. Keller, deaf and blind since she was a baby, entitled her essay The Light of a Brighter Day. Every essay leaves the reader with something or several things to think about.
Fast forward a few decades to 2003 and a case of the flu. Louisvillian Dan Gediman was looking for something to read while at home with the flu and stumbled across Murrow's book. Skipping over most of the events that followed, I can tell you Gediman revived Murrow's essay project and you can now hear new, original pieces on NPR.
So, I was thrilled when Maryhurst told me that Gediman will be our featured speaker at the annual Journey of Hope Luncheon. Last week while talking to Gediman, I learned a lot about the rebirth of This I Believe. It's now a non-profit organization that gets more than 100,000 essays a year. In fact, the Louisville-based organization hires people just to help read the thousands of essays received each month.
Maryhurst and This I Believe are a perfect fit. For 21 years, I've volunteered for Maryhurst and greatly admire the beliefs with which they run their agency. Teenage girls and boys who are deeply troubled because of neglect and abuse often thrive at Maryhurst. Why? Maryhurst believes in unconditional love. Think on that for awhile.
There's so much more I could say about Maryhurst, Dan Gediman and This I Believe. But I won't say it all here. Instead, I offer you an opportunity to hear from Gediman yourself.
Below are links to Maryhurst where you buy a ticket to the May 25th luncheon. Here's a link for Thisibelieve.org.
Dan Gediman extends this offer: if you want to write a full-blown essay and submit it to This I Believe, please do. They're always looking for more words of wisdom to add to the treasure trove past and present.
I invite you to go to our WHAS11 News Facebook discussions page and tell us what you believe. Read about the beliefs of other viewers while you're there. You can always reach me on Facebook or at email@example.com.
I hope to see you at the Luncheon. More information below:

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- Volunteers are heading out this weekend to search for a Nelson County teenager who was last seen Aug. 3.
The Daily Progress (http://bit.ly/IwfbwN ) reports that the search for Alexis Murphy will start Sunday in Lovingston, where she was last seen at a gas station.
The 17-year-old Shipman woman told her family she was headed to Lexington for a shopping trip. When she did not return, authorities launched a search that located her car in Albemarle County parking lot several days later.
A 48-year-old Lovingston man, Randy Allen Taylor, has been charged with her disappearance. He has denied the charge.
Volunteers who want to join the search are asked to meet at E.C. Glass High School at 10:30 a.m. Sunday.

A hand-colored French postcard, postmarked 1906. A (rather poor) translation of the cupid's French caption is:
"I know that your faithful soul
Dreams of one day getting married
For him alone you will make yourself beautiful
I know all I am love"
Fun British postcard, postmarked October 30th 1907. The message written on the side appears to be in German?
Another German postcard of another unidentified, stylish woman- this time in winter clothes! It is dated 1907. The dress, buttons, and feathers on the hat are hand colored.
A picture apparently cut out of a postcard- a group of people standing around a beer barrel. The back reads: "mistake it beer barrel is the famous"
I have no idea what that means.
Postcard of girls having fun! :) Postmarked October 14th 1909.
The reverse reads:
"Dear Ralph- The first lady sitting on this log is a merry widow. The other two are old married ladies.
Ray wrote me that Geo. Greenwood was recently married to a Miss Anderson. When you come to California, you must stop at Redlands and see the Archers. Love to all the Ladds. May."
It is addressed to Mr. Ralph Ladd,
Memphis, Mo.
Postcard of an unidentified woman and man with a trombone, featuring some sort of pretty pattern! I have no idea what that could be from.
Postcard of soldiers, presumably from WWI. Not sure of the nationality of the soldiers- possibly German.

Your symptom of "pulsing" light is not typical of that experienced by most other multifocal implant patients even those having problems the implant. You need to stay in close contact with the implanting surgeon and the two of you can decide what symptoms are attributable to the implants, whether adaptation will occur and whether lens exchange is a serious consideration.View Thread
That being said, there can be better visual quality when using contact lenses that when wearing glasses. Such circumstances included very strong prescriptions and for people that have large differences between the strength of prescription for one eye compared to the other.
So, if you are having substantial problems with your new glasses, get your prescribing doctor to take another look at the situation.View Thread
The eye surgeon does the eye removal (enucleation) and makes preparations for the eventual placement of the cosmetic shell. Once the healing is complete, the patient is referred to an ocularist who is responsible for fitting the cosmetic shell and painting it to match the other eye. The operative site needs to heal sufficiently before the cosmetic apparatus can be properly fitted. The ocularist is sort of a cross between a dentist in terms of proper fitting and an artist in matching the two eyes.View Thread
You do need a real diagnosis and for that reason you need to see an ophthalmologist rather than just chasing this problem with different kinds of eye drops. Go to www.AAO.org and "find an eye MD" near you.View Thread
Perhaps not a great idea to use neomycin to chase a discharge which does not represent infection - very likely that you will get an allergic reaction to the medication rather than any benefit.
Eyelid drooping and excessive tearing are problems which are most expertly treated by ophthalmologists with fellowship training in oculoplastic conditions. Go to www.AAO.org and "find an eye MD" and then search for an oculoplastic specialist near you.View Thread
Your floaters were a warning that you not only had a vitreous detachment but also had retinal tears. The retinal tears were treated with a laser so they would not progress to a full retinal detachment.
Your big floater may be a "Weiss ring" if it is a complete or nearly complete "ring" in its appearance. On the other hand, a small amount of bleeding is common with retinal tears. Once the tears are treated, the blood should go away and the floater symptoms should progressively improve. If the floaters increase, please consult promptly with your retinal specialist to assure that there are no new or untreated retinal issues.View Thread
Spots in your vision that move are generally vitreous floaters as discussed many times in this forum. However, if you are seeing them in both lighted conditions as well as the dark, they may be a result of circulation or neural issues and not the kind of floaters that make us worry about retinal tears or detachment.
A full ophthalmology exam in the near future with dilation is required to assure that there are no retinal issues and to yield clues to your symptom. At that time, a detailed discussion with the ophthalmologist may shed some further light on what is causing your spots and whether any further investigation is warranted.View Thread

Good to Prepare
Butternut Squash Empanadas
Jay Graham
Writer Isabel Allende's friend and caterer Richard Visconte was kind enough to share this recipe, which he served at one of her parties
Yield: Makes 2 dozen
- 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Cooking spray
- 7 tablespoons butter, divided
- 3 cups chopped onion
- 5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup milk
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 2/3 cups shortening
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup ice water
- Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; toss well. Spread squash mixture in a 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450º for 15 minutes; stir squash, and bake 5 more minutes. Set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until butter melts. Add onion, and cook 20 minutes or until caramelized, stirring often.
- Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat; whisk in 1/4 cup flour until smooth. Cook 1 minute, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in milk; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in nutmeg. Stir sauce and squash mixture into onion mixture. Let cool.
- Combine remaining 5 cups flour, shortening, and 2 teaspoons salt using a fork or pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. (Mixture should have small lumps.) Sprinkle 2/3 cup ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, evenly over surface; stir with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into a ball; roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into 4-inch circles. Place about 2 tablespoons squash mixture in center of each dough circle. Moisten edges of dough with water. Fold dough over filling, and pinch to seal. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 450º for 18 minutes or until golden.
- Note: You may use thawed frozen empanada dough instead of the homemade pastry, if desired.

Current Data & Basics in California
The Basics
- There are currently more than 110,000 people on the UNOS National Organ Transplant Waiting List. More than 21,000, or 20% of the national total, are listed at California transplant centers.
- Of those waiting, one in three will die due to a shortage of organs.
- Nationwide, approximately 18 people die each day awaiting life-saving organ transplants, and a new name is added to the national waiting list every 13 minutes.
- One organ donor can save up to eight lives and one tissue donor can improve the lives of up to 50 others.
- Nationwide, approximately 70% of the 13,500 cases each year where patients are pronounced brain dead are medically suitable to be organ donors. The donor is indentified via the registry or family authorized donation.
- Nationwide, minorities represent 54% of organ transplant candidates and more than 60% of those awaiting kidney transplants.
- In California, Latinos make up 35% of those waiting for life-saving transplants, Asians/Pacific Islanders comprise 16%, and African Americans another 14%.
- Nearly 75% of those waiting for kidney transplants are people of color.
- Nationwide, African Americans comprise 12% of the total population, but represent 35% of kidney transplant candidates. This high proportion is due to a higher incidence of diabetes and hypertension.
- Organs that may be donated (in order of frequency transplanted) include the kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, pancreas and small intestine.
- Tissues that may be donated include corneas/eyes, heart valves, skin, bone, tendons, cartilage and veins.
- In about 90% of instances, only patients who experience brain death – a medically, legally and morally accepted determination of death resulting from the complete lack of blood flow to the brain – may donate vital organs. This represents about 1% of all deaths in hospitals annually. Under rare and controlled circumstances involving major neurological trauma, organs may be donated after cardiac death.
Waiting list numbers as of 09.26.14.pdf

Couldn't cut it in Ulduar? Too lazy? Neither, thanks. I had no opportunity to go to Ulduar because at the time of night I play, the raids are already full usually and our guild is still gearing. I'm not jealous of people who can go, though I do have an expectation that they try not to be closed-minded and assume that because some players aren't geared or aren't running it means they aren't competent and are lazy. The only person in my guild who even does Ulduar is currently unemployed, can go to bed at 6 a.m. and get up whenever the hell he wants, and has no children or other responsibilities during the day. The rest of us have responsibilities outside the game that preclude us from playing whenever our id tells us we'd like to.
It's not at all about not wanting to put in the time. I've researched my gear drops, I know what I want, I know how to get there...now I just need to work on getting the rest of my guild to that point. I've run heroics til they came out of my ears. I'm still running them to work on my off-spec set while I wait for everyone to be geared and in a position to start running 10-mans. They're the only people I know on my server that I can guarantee running at the time of day I can and who are understanding if something happens and I have to go AFK.

About the Libraries: Libraries and Centers: John Cotton Dana Library
The Dana Library was able to acquire eleven works of art by eight artists in 1994 through a program sponsored by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts in support of public art in conjunction with the expansion and renovation of the Dana facility. Artists in the Dana collections at that time included Martin W. Ball, Cicely Cottingham, Michael Fauerbach, Robert Kogge, William L. Phipps, Debra Weier, Alison Weld, and William T. Williams. The complete list is on the Walking Tour of public art in the library.
Since then, nine new works of art were acquired, for the most part as gifts. The new artwork includes work by the abstract expressionist Norman Carton and New York artist/sculptor Stella Waitzkin, three African masks and a figure, and a miniature book. Click on the images to see a larger version.
The new artwork is as follows:

CNET editors choose the best GoPro models, action cameras, and camcorders of 2014.
The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD650 offers an all-in-one, on-the-go way to capture standard-def video and burn it to a DVD, but hard-disk-drive and flash-memory models are otherwise a better option.
The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD205 is as middling as its sibling, the DCR-DVD305; however, it eschews the impractical features of the DVD305 for a lower price tag, making it a better bargain.
There are better choices than the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD305, a so-so DVD camcorder.
The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD405 is a solid DVD camcorder, as long as you don't mind fiddling with a touch-screen interface on a too-small display.
The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD203 is a solid performer with many of the features that impressed us in the more expensive DCR-DVD403.
Sony's Handycam DCR-SR68 (and larger-capacity SR88) offers up ample storage and a megazoom lens at a reasonable price; one look at the standard-definition video, though, and you might regret not spending a bit more for an HD model.
The Sony Handycam DCR-SR45 has a good design and reasonable feature set for its price, but the video quality doesn't measure up to the rest of the package.
Given its mediocre video quality, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 seems overpriced for what it delivers.
Unless this camcorder's low-resolution, low-quality stills are important to you, you might as well go for Sony's less expensive DCR-HC26.
Excellent video quality, a broad feature set, and decent photos make the Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 an excellent choice for those seeking a compact MiniDV camcorder. Navigating the small touch screen may encourage you to stick with its automatic features, however.

Interesting Perspective Into The World of Working In RetailStatus: Bookseller Picks
After working in retail stores for almost 23 years now, one thing I've learned is that . . . you've never seen it all even though you some times think you have. Malled provides an interesting perspective from a professional journalist who decided to take on the "easy" (or so she thought) job in a store for some steady income. Caitlin provides an interetsing perpective into the realities of these unique work environments. For any long-time retail person, it can be insightful and also comical. A great read for any retail manager as well leaving you asking the question ,"Do I do that sometimes?"
Retail work and the stories surrounding those experiences/jobs can some times lean towrd the negative, but there are amazing positive components as well that often get over-looked. Retail careers are like no other in terms of the variety of experience and exposure to various aspects of the business world a person receives. From the never-ending stream of new people and experiences you encounter day in and day out at often times a break-neck pace, you rarely find the "dull moment". It is a unique opportunity to learn and grow every day and valuable lessons that are very applicable to a variety of jobs and careers outside of retail.
Fun and insightful read. Check it out.

Is Keith Olbermann More Vengeful Than Even Roger Ailes?
Let's compare two recent gaffes at MSNBC and Fox News.

Skip to content, or skip to search.
Let's compare two recent gaffes at MSNBC and Fox News.
Fox is "the lupus of news," he says.
The Fox News anchor dishes with Howard Stern about her favorite co-worker.
This might be the dullest ambush interview in the history of the genre.
If these two can get along, maybe there's hope for the rest of us.
"The White House pays them off by feeding them stories," he says of the 'Times.'
She comes off as "competent, but generic," says 'Times' critic.
Will there be any 'guests' left on the show by tomorrow night?
LL Cool J feels used.
Well, this is certainly peculiar.
The 'Fox & Friends' host fills out our patented New York questionnaire.
Criticizing Fox News is fun. But it lets them have fun with you, too.
Also, the Fox News host tried to get him to blame someone else for his problems.
"Smarter people need to be having more kids. I don't know how else you can overcome it."
Now they're going to guarantee that lots of people are watching the network in bars, airports, and in TV stores.
This totally needs to become an in-depth investigation.
What'd your grandma miss when she watched the edited version on Fox News?
No one wants to see that!
It's just as bad as you'd think.

Push the Model Shoot Revised
So here's what happen. I use a combination of Adobe Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5. Usually I download the images from a shoot straight into Lightroom using the import function. I had forgotten that I set an import preset that lightens everything and automatically adds clarity. So after the import process I select the photos using a star system similar to this blog post: http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2011/03/photo-editing-101/ After I get to the point where I have rated everything 1 through 5 I start opening up my 5 stars in photoshop for fine tuning. Here's where I screwed up. After editing my selects in photoshop I saved my tiff files in a separate folder and then imported that folder into Lightroom. What happen was Lightroom automatically applied that import preset again to my images and the result was blown images. So my advice…don't use Lightroom's import dialogue presets or don't forget to disable them when importing different shoots. So after all that I went back and re edited this shoot. Check out the new images below and let me know if you notice a difference. Thanks.

Well hello.
It's time to tell my story, isn't it? I promised you. How to start? Oh yes, at the beginning. And the beginning already began months ago when a little german hobby-Loki decided to go to the Berlin Thor: the dark world premiere. Living in Berlin means for me to only have to take the train, 5 stations, to the Potsdamer Platz, so I was thinking why not?
Going with Miriam and Pe was the plan, but I did not plan for the evening before where I met Alan Taylor (full story here!) , the director of the movie. And Steven Gätjen, an old friend from away back when I was ten or eleven.
Alan was super nice and I had the chance to talk to him a little and showed him my photos, so he looked forward to see me the next day in costume.
The next morning I woke up early, after a night with no sleep and still fever from the days before - had been sick for four days. I picked up Pe and our cameras, dressed up and we went to the Sony Center. My friends, Elisa, Fabi and Jessi already waited there, as well as the amazing Miriam. The head of security were informed that I was a rather well known Loki-cosplayer, and Author, so he was super nice and very supportive.
Elisa was in contact with a nice press-lady, Nafiesa, from Amsterdam and she promised to try and get our things signed by Tom, when she would interview him in the morning. She took a photo of me in front of the Ritz and went off with my hot toys Loki cape, prints and photos to sign for him.
Meanwhile we went to take our places and watched the guys who decorated the red carped - from hoovering to placing the carpet pieces and picking up leafs.
Boring, boring, boring.
But then the press-lady came back and told me, besides that she managed to get all our thing signed, huzzah, that Tom loved the photo and talked about how detailed and perfect the whole cosplay was. I was mind blown and now it wasn't boring anymore.
The organisation kinda sucked and we were moved to another side of the row. So I ended up only with Miriam and Pe and two new friends Caro and Jule! They knew the fucking fricking Känguru Chroniken! (you all should!) We waited and the time passed slowly. Razupaltuff!
The evening came and the journalists arrived, crowding the place. Steven came to say hi but had the biggest shock because he had no clue I would show up in costume - "WHA- WOAH! What happened to you since yesterday, you look like Loki!?"
It was sooo funny. Animax arrived too, they interviewed me too that day, called me and waved from the press row and slowly even I realized that it started!
But the biggest shock was for me when a woman from the english TV came to me with her team and said: "Oh, you must be the girl Tom wants to meet today!"
I was so very confused, you have no clue. Tom wanted to meet me? What happened to the world?
Me:"what, you mean if I want to meet Tom?"
She:"No, he wants to meet YOU, he saw your photo this morning and talked with the press about it, how good you looked and said he would like to meet you and he would look for you!"
I pretty much died in that very moment!;___;
She interviewed me then and I managed to get back into character and told her that I was very angry with Tom because he posed about three years as myself (Loki), that imposter, and I would make him kneel and tell him off!
She laughed and said he would surely come later to apologize, so I was pretty stoked by the time the next interviewer came our way, and high as a kite!
I gave about 4-5 Interviews all in all that day and mostly I said nothing but bullshit, but it was all just a big huge rush of emotions for me. I managed well enough to play the Loki part and calm myself with that. And sang to the little girls on the other side of the carpet to cheer them up, because kids and waiting for hours never works well.
And I had fun to troll Fem!Thor and yell insults like "your mother…" and shit in best monkey island-style. It was so funny, we sang all the anime-songs we knew. the fox, Lady Gaga and what not! XD!
I've won two tickets in a quiz so I could go and watch the movie!!!! My heart was beating faster already.
Then the stars arrived, Kevin Feige and Alan Taylor and the whole circus started for real. Natalie Portman shortly after. Alan walked along as some point and saw me and was very impressed and we had a wee talk. He is a lovely man, very lovely. He was still not over the fact that I looked for real like I did on the pictures I had shown him the day before, and not like "Dita von Teese"!
Then Chris Hemsworth arrived and the fangirls went from excited to insanely loud! It was hell. Pushing and shoving started. I am very annoyed by noises like that most of the time, not general ones but let's say SCREAMING. But that day, I have to admit I sometimes allowed myself to…shout.
Alan Taylor arrived, just the same time as Chris, at my spot again and we talked a little, fucking short that time, and he said he wanted to show Chris how amazing I looked and pointed me out to him, "Chris you have to see her, she is stunning!", and it was so fucking amazing. he took a photo and he said "hey little brother" and shit! ^__^;;
I feel bad that so many girls only came for Tom, Chris is so very nice. And the hero of the movie, I mean he is Thor after all!
Natalie Portman was in a hurry and did not have the time to sign too long, but she signed for all the children waiting for her, and that was indeed very kind!
But I could have cared less because Steven and his team came to me and I was gifted with VIP tickets for the Premiere! (Now I had four tickets and could take Miriam, her bf and Pe with me. It was sooo good - I would have hated to leave them behind;__;!)
Michael, the head of security came by and told me that now soon Mr. Hiddleston would arrive and after that we, the ones with the VIP tickets, had to go inside so they would close the rows again and we won't miss the speeches in the cinema. I was so close to loose my cool because my legs and feet hurt after all the hours and it was cold and it had rained a little and my hair was a mess and I had to pee and…it was fucking exhausting. But I told myself it would soon be over.
But I was just overall: I DON'T WANT TO, I WANNA GO HOME! WHAT'S THE FUCKING USE OF THIS? I AM AN AUTHOR, I SHOULD BE HOME WRITING MY BOOKS!
Screaming started from afar and we knew it could only be…yeah, Tom Hiddleston.
TOM HIDDLESTON, okay?
The actor I would put without thinking twice on top of the list of my favorite actors at the moment (only topped by Heath Ledger, RIP ;_;). Somebody I respect deeply and admire for about 7 years now, since BBCs Wallander.
Later I've found out that he ran up and down to sign for as many people as he could manage. He is such a babe, he really is.
But it was already getting late and his publicist Luke Windsor was already worried about the time. So they rushed to the row opposite of me and Tom signed as fast as he could.
He was so close to go inside and I was so fucking tired and did not want to scream or shout because I know he hates that, and so do I, but I did not had because Luke stopped him and told him to turn around and pointed at me - like the lady from the press said earlier, he was looking for me. They fucking KNEW!!!;____;
And he fucking turned and saw me and the biggest fucking amazing smile appeared on his face and he walked over to me, grinning, arms open. I swear I dunno how I kept my cool and told him I was sorry but he had to kneel before he could hug me.
Video ONE, video TWO
AND HE DID. He fucking did, so gracefully, it was magical. Arms open, head bowed, waiting for me to allow him to rise. (grinning all the while!)
(credit to the maker of the gifs!)
I did and we hugged and then we took photos, one that wasn't that epic and one to confuse everybody with the same Loki-face (his idea! XD)!
It was the best moment ever, I am telling you, it was so damn damn fucking amazing!
But the night wasn't over YET!
The security let us inside and we finally had the chance to sit down, after hours of pure pain. Sitting never felt so good before!
Before the movie the cast returned for a short speech and Steven hosted it again introducing Kevin, Alan, Tom, Chris aaaannd…Natalie.
Chris gave me a wink and Tom a smile and Alan nodded to me. It was so cool, Kevin held a speech and Tom sang Danke Schön and then Alan said something too and somehow he looked into my direction again and raised his glass and toasted to me and then he came over and suddenly he kneeled down and I was so SHOCKED.
I could not think anymore and he made me stand up and said to everyone in the cinema that I was the most stunning Loki cosplay ever and then it was too much and I FUCKING KNEELED DOWN and everybody laughed and applauded and I nearly had a heart attack. (or he first kneeled and then made me stand up, I have no clue, it was one way or the other!;____;)
I have no idea what the actors did because I was so fucking confused, but I can only guess that they laughed too.
I mean that man kneeled down to me. First Tom and now Alan, the mastermind behind so many amazing TV series, and now Thor: the dark world. That man is one of my heros, because Game of Thrones and all!
What was going ON!?
We took a photo together again, this time in costume and he hugged me good bye and ran after the others. It was so fucking surreal.
The movie went by in a blur, maybe because I could not see that much cuz we had the seats in the front row and it was too close and too 3D and too badly dubbed for my taste. But the movie was really really really good and I loved every second of it. Even my most hated character, Jane, was useful and I liked her a lot.
Only Odin outdid himself with WTF DADDY-moments.
After the movie I had another interview with O2World about how I liked the movie and the evening and that was great too, but I was too tired. just too too tired. Then a photoshooting with the press and then we went outside where ANIMAX still waited for me to finish the interview we had earlier. But before that we did some pose on the red carpet again.
After all that we said good bye to Miriam and her lovely bf and now it was time to sit down and eat for the first time of the day.
I could eat nothing. I've ordered like a big salad and fries, but I could not eat them, I was shaking so badly.
In the end we took a taxi and my sis picked me up at the station and I talked for hour about how amazing the day had been, without realizing that it wasn't a dream, it really happened. It happened to me.
I want to thank the people who made this day so amazing:
Pe, Miriam, Elisa, Nafiesa, Jessi, Fabi, Caro, Jule, Michl, Steven and last but not least Alan and Tom - AND Luke.
You guys gave me so much and I O U!
Such a nice read! Living vicariously through another's experience

Court rules in favor of retailers on debit card fee cap
The banking industry stands to lose a lot of money on the decision.
In a ruling viewed as a major victory for retailers, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon on Wednesday overturned a Federal Reserve rule placing a cap on debit card fees banks collect from merchants, according to the Washington Post.
Retailers had complained that the Federal Reserve had set the cap too high following intense lobbying by banks, and the judge agreed. Under the Fed rule, banks could charge as much as 21 cents per debit card transaction. Retailers pointed out that the Fed had originally proposed a 12 cent per transaction cap.
By the time the final rule was enacted, it covered additional items including the cost of equipment and technology designed to prevent fraud. The court ruled that this action by the Fed was improper.
Retailers argued that consumers would benefit from a lower fee since costs like these are often passed on by merchants in the form of higher prices.
Ironically, as Reuters pointed out, the cap on debit card fees, also known as the Durbin amendment to Dodd-Frank and named for its sponsor, Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois, was intended to help consumers in the first place.
What happened, as so often is the case in Washington, was lobbying -- in this instance by the banking industry.
Following Wednesday's ruling the banking industry expressed disappointment, urged the Federal Reserve to appeal the decision, and added that merchants are unlikely to reward consumers with lower prices and will simply opt to increase their profits.
The Merchants Payments Coalition, a retailing group, on the other hand said that Wednesday's ruling "will give relief to merchants across the country and their customers, putting a stop to unconscionable price gouging that is completely at odds with the law," according to the Washington Post.
While retailers are the big winners, banks and credit card issuers stand to have swiping fees cut more than 50% down to as low as 7 cents per transaction, according to a note to investors from Guggenheim Partners.
Because of the ruling, shares of the two largest operators, Visa Inc. (V) and MasterCard Inc. (MA), plunged Wednesday. Visa stock fell 11% and MasterCard dropped 6%, but recovered to end slightly higher at the close of trading. American Express Co (AXP) dropped 1.9% Wednesday and Discover Financial Services (DFS) fell 1.3% in late trading.
The 21-cent cap, Reuters reported, will probably remain in place until the Fed either rewrites the rule or decides to appeal. Barbara Hagenbaugh, a Federal Reserve representative, indicated that the agency was in the process of reviewing the judge's ruling.

When 7-year-old Rosalyn Weeks arrived at the Fire Museum in Downtown Memphis she had no idea she was one of the guests of honor. Her mom and dad simply said they were going downtown.
But then when she saw the men and women who helped save her dad's life in September 2012. She knew something was up.
What was up was, she was being honored for saving her dad's life. Jacque weeks had suffered a heart attack. He has no memory of that day.
But Rosalyn remembers.
"He said he needed to lay down," Rosalyn said. "He fell out real hard. I had to run outside to go get some help. Then my cousin Lauren came by and called 9-1-1 and got an ambulance."
Going for help was just the first step in saving her dad's life. The next part came with the men and women who responded to the call. When they arrived, the patient was not breathing and had no pulse.
They began CPR and advanced life support procedures. They kept it up for almost 30 minutes there and on the way to the hospital. He not only survived, Jacque Weeks has made a full recovery.
"Oh I feel great, yes she saved my life," Jacque said, who suffered a heart attack.
His wife had a chance to say thank you to those individuals who refused to give up trying to save
Her husband's life.
"You all don't get a chance a lot of times to hear people say thank you," said Jasmine Weeks. "But from the bottom of my heart I say thank you. You do not know how much what you did helped us and our family because without my husband I don't know what or where I would be. I know God would help me, but you know he's my life, he and my daughter are my life along with the rest of my family. I thank you, I honestly thank you!
Jacque Weeks got his life back. Jasmine Weeks got her husband back, and little Rosalyn Weeks got her daddy back and a certificate of congressional recognition from U.S. Congressman Steve Cohen's office for being a hero, along with a basket of goodies from the Memphis Fire Department.
The rest of us learned that you don't give up on a heart attack victim. This is why.
