I Will Treat You Well (A Thneedville High! Swoncest fic)
Okay this took way too long for what it's worth.
A fic for THIS PICTURE by Zombieskully
WARNING: NSFW, EXTREME BLOODPLAY, knifeplay, cannibalism???, frottage, Oneler being a crazy fuck
This is seriously…I don't know what I was thinking.
Oneler x Swag
Today he's a little off.
That's not saying much, because the guy is a complete nutjob but oh, he's really fucking hot so who cares.
He's flipping that butterfly knife in between red half-gloved fingers and he's never looked more threatening. Still really hot.
He contemplates not going to the bleachers today, their secret make out spot, but the thought makes his fingers twitch and his legs itch. He wonders what that freak's problem is, because he's been staring at him in every class they have together, and he knows he's got reason to stare because he's fabulous as fuck but I mean tone it down, buddy.
He'd like to think it's finals making him on edge, look more dangerous than his usual dirty Hot Topic goth appearance, but Oneler never worries about schoolwork. Ever. Why should he? He's way smart. And handsome. Handsome people are perfect.
He would know.
That's why he'd consider himself a genius as he walked in between all those rusty metal pillars beneath the bleachers, the farthest corner away from the track. And he's there, looking sullen and mopey and misunderstood, just like the bad boy he wishes to be, not doing his homework and smoking on school grounds. His dirty red and black boots are tossed a few feet behind him, and he's leaning against a thin metal bar, the cigarette limp on his lips, and he's never looked more attractive.
"Hey drippy-lips, looking extra emo today," and he doesn't even look at him. Well that's different. Usually he at least rolls his eyes or scoffs or does something but he just sits there staring in front of him, and the cigarette looks like it needs to be tapped, because it's nearly all ashes. "Hey, you okay, faggot?"
He doesn't answer.
He pulls his glasses up to his hair and drops his backpack next to him, but not really drops more like throws, and he still doesn't budge. The ashes on the cigarette fall softly to the ground between Onelers legs, and it drifts off into the breeze bit by bit.
"What the fuck are you doing, meditating? Are you a hippy?"
"Swag," he whispers lowly, and just his voice is enough to make his toes curl in his pink fluffy Katy Perry socks that are far too small for his feet. The cigarette dances lightly with the movement of his lips. "There's something wrong with me."
"What? Do you have some daddy issue you need to get off your chest? Because man, I may technically be gay, but I'm not that gay."
"Does your tongue ever stop wagging?"
"Do you ever stop being a huge dick?"
He still doesn't move his head, and he's been staring at the pillar in front of them this whole time. What was he even talking about?
"Look, are we gonna fuck around or not? Because I don't come to your smelly little hideout for nothing."
He slowly lifts his hand and beckons him with two curling fingers, and he's on his knees, moving closer to him. He could smell his sporty body wash and even though it smelled cheap and faded, he wanted to breathe it in forever. He was at his thigh, leaning onto him, and he's excited to start. But he doesn't move for him, doesn't toss his cigarette. He's still staring.
"For fuck's sake-"
"Do you wonder what it's like to be insane?"
"Are you spouting some fucking Linkin Park lyrics or something because I really can't-"
He turns quickly enough to scare the shit out of him and he falls on his ass, propping himself up with his elbows, and he's suddenly between his legs with his butterfly knife in one hand and a smile on his face that screams "I murdered your cat".
He can't seem to think of anything to say, not with that crazy fucking look in his eyes. His lip ring stretched too tight on that grin, wider than he'd ever seen, and he feels his own lip trembling.
"It'd be so easy to fuck you up," he says, and Swag can't seem to even breathe anymore, not with that knife clutched so desperately in that dirty gloved palm. He doesn't move, and he feels his lungs pulsing from lack of air. Don't move, he'll slice you to pieces.
"And I wonder how I'd do it," and Swag can't stop the slow frightened murmur that escapes him. The knife is at his collar, and if he gulps too deeply it'll slice his Adam's apple. He is slower than he's ever been. "What to do with the body."
He's leaning further into him, thighs touching thighs, and he's looming close enough to feel his voice against his cheek, vibrating, making him fear for his everything. "You're always so scared."
He wants to retort, tell him to fuck off because he was never scared of anything, especially not a twat with a little plastic butter knife, but all he can muster is a whimper, and it is definitely manly.
He's smiling wide still, his eyes big and analyzing, and he might just piss himself.
"Would you still like me if I was a lunatic?"
The knife is slowly dipping forward to pop the first button of his shirt, and he can finally fumble out the words "you are a lunatic". The boy is laughing, and the knife pushes further down.
"I'll take that as a yes."
Swag would like to think he's just having a rough day, his parents weren't the best people, not like his mom. Maybe he'd watched one too many slasher movies with his stupid creepy friends, and he was curious. Whatever it was, it was sexy and yet it scared the shit out of him. Was he supposed to get a boner, or was he supposed to be begging for his life? He was about to do both.
"I was wondering what it'd be like to be a crazy person," he hisses against his face, the knife traveling down to the collar of his sweater vest, and he was amazed and horrified that it was sharp enough to slice through it like it was air. The sweater vest his mom knit him. He would have voiced a terribly nasty complaint, but that grin was at his ear, breath warm and shiver inducing. "And you'd still love me."
Love is a strong word. He hates that word a lot. No one ever says they love him, so he doesn't say it either. He rasps out another breathy whimper as his sweater vest is destroyed in a loud thin ripping noise. The buttons of the shirt underneath go with it, scattering on the cold cement and bouncing away with quiet clicking. Oneler pulls away the ruined clothes to reveal his pale milky skin, perfect in every way. He feels his eyes burn, he's too scared to blink. Maybe his tears will ease the dryness.
"I want to know what it's like to hurt someone," he kisses into his ear, and his lips go back into that Cheshire grin. The knife is pointed between his pecs, right in the middle of his chest, and he doesn't breathe in fear of his chest lifting high enough to touch it. He twirls it gently. He is not getting out of this intact. "I don't want to hurt you, in particular. But I know you won't mind, will you?"
He thinks to himself, this is the point where you start begging for your life and offering him all of your possessions. The knife traces his jaw and now he can't swallow.
"Relax, princess. I'm not going to kill you."
Please don't. Please.
"When I think about it my stomach hurts, like I'm hungry."
This guy is crazy with crazy and he's trapped like an animal, an animal with a huge aching boner and this is so inappropriate and confusing that the tears finally escape his eyes and trail down his face before he can stop them.
"Don't cry, I haven't even started yet."
The thumb at his cheek is sincere and warm enough to distract him from the knife for just a moment, a moment long enough for the blade to pierce the side of his neck, and he's bursting with blood. The cry that escapes him sounds inhuman, and his mouth is open in an ugly silent sob. The same thumb is now at the cut, squeezing more blood out and onto the cement beneath them, and wow that is a lot of blood, he can feel it. It stings and oozes and he's shivering all over, because he's still got a boner.
The boy lifts his hand to examine the blood coating his fingers, and he is transfixed, yellow eyes glossy and wondering. This is new and exciting to him. His lips twitch, and Swag is gasping in between his shallow crying.
He dips down suddenly to suck at the blood like one of those vampires from that shitty teen movie his mom loves, and he can't help the way his legs spasm around him, his hands grasp at his t shirt, and he wonders if he's going to die tonight. The knife cuts him under his collarbone, deeper than his neck, and he is bawling and squirming and still very dignified okay.
"Be quiet, princess, you're fine," he mutters against his bloodied neck, tongue flat against the wound, making it burn more than any pain he's ever felt. The hand with the knife is in his hair, keeping his head down as he moves to the second cut, drinking in the blood pooling on his chest. He would think this was hot if there wasn't a sharp blade pressed to the side of his face, right at his eye. Breathing was impossible, and he was choking silently on his own tears. He was going to die, and it was going to be sexy.
From here he could see the boy licking it up quickly and hungrily, like he hadn't eaten for days. His lips kiss and suck and smear red and wet. The hand in his hair tightens as he drank him, and his legs push against him, spreading him open and grinding. Dear lord, the mixed signals were ruining him.
"It hurts, doesn't it?"
He nods quickly because words escaped him and refused to come back, his neck spurting as he did so. The boy is smiling again, and it's all red, red teeth and red lips and cheeks and there's even a bit on his nose. He still finds it amazingly scary and hot at the same time and he just wants to crush him against his dick and hump until he explodes, but he's terrified. And woozy. The blade drops to his stomach, and he's crying again.
"No more, please," is all he gets out past the mucus in his throat, his voice breaking and hiccuping like a child's. How long can this go on for? Is he going to drink me until I'm dead, he wonders. Is he going to tear my belly open and fuck it? That's what psychos did.
"Don't be a baby," he says, and it's amused beyond all reason. His hands are pushing at his arms, grasping tight. Please, I want to live. "You'll like this part."
The blade flips up and he's sobbing for forgiveness, from whatever he did to deserve this, but it doesn't matter because it's already in his skin, right below his belly button, digging and slicing slowly and he actually wants to die now. He doesn't want to die like this, cut open like a pig and drowning in his own tears. But he can't stand it anymore.
The pain is searing, but the cut isn't deep enough to kill him, or even send him to the hospital. He's afraid to thrash out to get away, because that knife is still in his belly and it hasn't finished its conquest. His sobbing is loud in his own ears, and Oneler doesn't even tell him to shut up. He's enjoying it.
The knife is gone and blood is pooling into his pants, soaking through the hem and past the leather belt, but Oneler is quick to remove it. He yanks them down to his thighs along with his sparkly Katy Perry underwear, and his dick is immediately slathered in his own blood. His erection was gone, maybe from the pain, maybe from the blood loss, but One doesn't seem to have a problem with his. Oneler lifts his hips off the ground enough for his dick to fall back against Swag's stomach, right into the gaping cut, and he's screaming because holy fucking Jesus Christ fucking shit oh my God. He's scrambling to move his hips down, so the blood isn't collecting in the concave of his stomach, so his dick isn't touching that awful stinging painful thing on him, and he's crying even harder.
"Oh come on, it's not that bad," as if he knows what it feels like.
Begging is all that comes out of his mouth as Oneler moves his own hips against him, making him rub rhythmically against the cut. This wasn't sexy anymore, it was torture. Oneler was the only one enjoying himself now.
His head is getting heavy, and he's starting to lose it. The thrusting is the only thing he can focus on, the pain numbing his brain, and Oneler's hands and face and cock are dipped in his blood. He's still got that awful smile on his face, and he's holding him down as if he's got somewhere to run.
And he's out.
Oneler watches him drop to the pavement, his resistance gone. The blood is starting to cake at his neck and shoulder, and the blood at his stomach is getting thick and sticky, but it's still slick enough for him to finish off, turning red into pink. He isn't sick enough to drink that, he has standards. He leans over to smack Swag in the face, but he's completely done for, his breath finally even. He was finally relaxed.
He backs off to see the damage he's caused, and it's a piece of art. He doesn't want to look away. His face and fingers are stiff from the blood, but he can't be bothered to clean up. He lights up his cigarette, but he doesn't want to lose the taste of Swag on his tongue. He lets it burn out against his lips.
He likes the flavor far more than he should.

I drove home yesterday to spend Thanksgiving with my dad and stepmom. Ugh I hate that drive. Four hours, two of just flat land. However, the clouds were very pretty.
Anyways, I finally got a decent night of sleep! Not having to work until 1am was delightful!
My stepmom was amazing and made me breakfast when I woke up!
It was just the perfect amount to hold me for the Thanksgiving festivities.
We then preceded to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!
A little bit later, I want to my old middle school's track and jogged a mile. I hadn't worked out in a few days so I seemed to be breathing a little harder. I then split each lap with fast walking and sprinting. I couldn't stay much longer, because I had to head home to make a tart for dinner!
Here's a little picture of me post-run.
I used a dessert recipe from the undressed skeleton
It turned out delicious! I used coconut flavored greek yogurt instead and mixed some cinnamon in with the whip.
We headed over to my cousin's for dinner. I couldn't help but stuff my plate.
I also went back for seconds. (Only for the stuffing and brussels sprouts:D )
I played with my cousin's little girl for a little bit. We watched the Land Before Time. Did you know they have 11 of them now?! I remember when the first one came out!
A few hours later we feasted again, but the time on dessert.
There were so many options! Of course I tried the pumpkin pie, my tart, and some banana bread.
I was so stuffed! My parents and I headed home and ended the night with a movie.
It was such a delightful night!
I hope everyone else had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I woke up this morning and made myself a delicious shake.
I know it may not look appealing, but it was delicious!
I drank it while I was getting ready of class. The first sip was different, but then I loved it.
When I came back I decided to bake a butternut squash. While it was in the oven, I prepared myself a salad.
It was tasty. I used balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dressing.
After about 40 minutes in the oven, I removed the squash. After, I removed the skin (It took so long!). I couldn't find any recipes I liked, so I combined so peoples' ideas.
Most recipes I found recommended adding brown sugar and butter, but I wanted to make this a healthy alternative.
I mashed the butternut squash so it had a creamy consistency. I added 1/4 cup of applesauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of pumpkin pie spice.
It ended up tasting pretty good, but still on the bland side.
I'll have to play with it to find a recipe I like.
Well, I guess I should study!
I had a great workout today and wasn't too hungry when I got dinner after it. When I got home I thought I'd use up the rest of my pumpkin puree.
First, I'd like to give credit to Taralynn at undressedskeleten for the original recipe, but I did switch it up a little bit!
My shake included:
I used a mixing bullet to blend all the ingredients together. I don't use too much ice because I love the shake consistency of it. It makes it so much creamier!
I drank it up right away!
Anyways, off to bed!
For all of your fitness needs and questions.

Today has been a LONG day. I woke at 4:45am! Yawn! Ate blueberry muffin larabar and some trail mix.
My town has an event called "Tequila Sunrise" every year. It's held by five or so bars. Once a year, the bars open at 6am, and many people go out and drink. Well, I turned 21 not so long ago, so of course I was going to partake! I'm not much of a drinker, but I did have three drinks. They were delicious!
I didn't take many photos, so I unfortunately don't have any to post.
Anyways, I did get my new phone today!
I didn't work out to today, not surprising, but there's always tomorrow. I was pretty full from this morning so I snacked on some cottage cheese with bell peppers for lunch.
For dinner I bought myself a kabocha squash. I heard about it on instagram and had to give it a try!
So I looked up a recipe to bake it.
I also wanted to bake some sweet potato fries.
Top left: I had to cut it in half. It was way easier than I was expecting it to be!
Top right: Cut up into small pieces, seasoned with salt, pepper, and olive oil spray.
I placed it in the oven at 400F for 15 minutes.
Bottom left: Flipped them over for another 15 minutes
Bottom Right: Sweet potato and zucchini fries! Seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
I added a black bean burger patty and made a mini salad. This was a much needed dinner, and absolutely delicious!
I would definitely recommend the kabocha squash! It was really good, but extremely filling. I could barely eat that amount. I have a lot of left overs!
I was on pinterest a few weeks ago and found a Paleo Challenge done by Robin. Yesterday was my two year anniversary with my boyfriend, so I didn't want to start until today.
Website for challenge: http://www.robinssweetconfessions.com/wp/category/paleo-challenge/
I'm unable to do all her directions based on my work schedule, but I definitely can stick to a paleo diet.
So you ask, why?
I've read that it does help your clean out your body. Do to some minor health conditions I have, restricting dairy and wheat may be beneficial! I feel that limiting processed foods is also a plus. Our world is filled with process foods, and many of us eat them on a regular basis, may even more than we should.
So I would love your guys support!
I'll let you all know how it goes, the challenges I may face, and other information.
Here was my starting meal!
For lunch I had tuna with avocado and celery topped with sunflower butter and walnuts.
Well off to work!

Why aren't homes built to withstand tornadoes?
The slight probability of an individual house being hit by a devastating twister is too small to make it worth the cost. That's not the case for earthquakes and hurricanes.
Looking at homes reduced to collections of rubble by the recent string of tornadoes raises a question: Why aren't homes built to withstand tornadoes?
The answer, surprisingly, is probability. And cost, of course.
The chance of a devastating tornado hitting any one home is so small that it's not considered economically efficient to require all homes in the tornado belt to be built to withstand a twister. The chance of any one home being affected by an earthquake or hurricane is significantly greater, which explains why building standards are higher in earthquake- and hurricane-prone areas.
"In some areas of California, earthquakes happen tens or hundreds of years apart, and they affect a tremendous area with a lot of properties," Tim Reinhold, senior vice president for research and chief engineer at the Institute for Business and Home Safety, told Life's Little Mysteries. "But for a tornado hitting a particular location in Tornado Alley, you're dealing with return periods of thousands of years."
Most homes in the United States are built to withstand 90-mph, though Florida and North Carolina require stricter standards for hurricane resistance.
Post continues below
Even those standards are not strong enough to withstand the strongest tornado, which can bring 250-mph winds.
USA Today explains the challenge of making a home tornado-resistant, citing a report from the Wind Science & Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University:
For a home to be "tornado-proof," according to a wind research center online report, the walls, roof, windows, doors and garage doors would have to be "missile-resistant" to halt penetration by flying debris, and the connections of the structural elements would need to be capable of withstanding 250 mph wind pressures.
Additionally, the connections for long-span roofs and tall walls to transfer the loads induced by a 250 mph wind would have to be 7½ times stronger than those routinely required by today's codes, the wind research center reports.
"Realistically speaking, it is not practical, much less reasonable, to build a tornado-proof house," the report notes.
There are things you can do to protect your home from a lesser tornado, including many of the measures required in Florida and other coastal states for wind resistance: stronger garage doors, impact-resistant windows and stronger roof fastenings, for example. If you're building new or doing a major remodeling job, some of these features can be added for a small cost.
Texas Tech has information on lots of resources, and the Institute for Business and Home Safety also has information on measures you can take to strengthen your home against tornadoes, earthquake and hurricanes.

Yesterday was 6.5 in Prospect Park, 2 laps, somehow the hill doesnt seem so daunting anymore. not that is was ever a big hill, just a surprise the first time it comes up on you. all told 6.5 miles in 56:25 an 8:41 pace. Swift.
Now after a few good races and some extra laps. I looking forward to next year's 5K Speed Series of races. I think we have just one more race in Prospect Park this year, the Jingle Bell Jog in December. My Partner and I start and Finish together. yes we have pictures!
Today was a Tempo run, nothing long just a 2 mile warm up, 3 Tempo and what ended up being 1.2 cool down. and a nice stretch at the end. 6.2 miles in 53:11, with the tempo miles at 8:26, 8:12 & 8:01.
Prior to this year, 53:11 would have been the 2nd fastest time i had ever run for a 10k, now, well, its a training run :-)

Topic - Government transport spending. Ridiculous SE bias.
TMM - on 06 Feb 2014
In light of the closure of the SW mainline beyond Exeter I dismayed at the effect this is having to the economy of the region
At a time when the government is engaged in investing in HS2 so people can travel from Brum to London 30mins faster the SW beyond Exeter is not devoid of a rail network linking it to the rest of country.
When the Channel Tunnel was proposed and further investment was pumped into the SE I recall a govt commitment to electrify the track to Plymouth. Result? Nothing.
There is no air link to any London airports from any SW airports following Flybe's withdrawal from Newquay and the closure of Plymouth aiport.
Pi$$ed off that even yesterday this news was been challenged for top billing due to a tube strike which has a temporary effect.
Check out the average transport spend per head.
London Ł2731
Remember that in the SW we already have limited access to any public transport so we have to use the car. The VED is the same if you own a car in London where you have heavily subsidised mass transit system or if you live on Dartmoor. You pay more for your fuel and all other services (mains gas? Ha!)
Do the govt want us to all move to the SE?

EMMA WATSON was cute and edgy in a psychedelic Brood top and skirt at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards.
See for yourself:
Emma walked the red carpet sans her new boyfriend at the Gibson Amphitheatre in California for the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday in a gorgeous outfit from the Brood Fall 2012 collection.
Though usually quite feminine when it comes to her fashion choices, the "Bling Ring" star decided to mix things up by opting for an edgy purple and blue Brood racerback top and skirt, which she accessorized with a purple and black studded cuffs.
Black Tabitha Simmons strappy sandals completed Emma's outfit.
Beauty-wise, the British actress went with pastel eye makeup and pink lips.

Privacy hole in new Facebook?
by John Moe // Posted: 04/27/10 10:09 AM
On the last episode of the show we talked about the changes to Facebook that make your life on the social media site even more public. We also learned that you can shut those options off if you go through a very complicated process. But today brings word of an apparent privacy hole that CANNOT be closed no matter what you do. It seems strangers are able to see what events you say you'll be attending. Needless to say, this is more than a bit problematic for people who are on the receiving end of unwanted attention.

How to opt out of Facebook's new features.
by John Moe // Posted: 04/26/10 04:17 PM
Look, it's going to take a while. But here's what you do:
Go to:
Privacy Settings
Applications and Websites
Instant Personalization
Click on Edit Settings
Uncheck the box.
Then Facebook will tell you, via a pop-up, "Allowing instant personalization will give you a richer experience as you browse the web. " and it will ask if you're sure and if you want to confirm.
Click on Confirm.
But this still won't stop your friends from sharing information about you with those sites. To stop that, you have to block those sites one by one. To find out about that, you're taken to an FAQ page. I couldn't understand it. So I finally found this page where you can link to individual applications like Yelp and Pandora. And once you get on THOSE pages, you can click on Block Application, and then ANOTHER pop-up comes up for you to confirm.
And that's all you have to do! Of course, at the moment Facebook only has three partners in this program. What if they had hundreds? Thousands? The way things stand now, you'd have to go through and block each one of them individually.

Indictments in Gizmodo iPhone case
by John Moe // Posted: 04/22/10 12:23 PM
Well, not court indictments. Not yet anyway. But John Gruber of Daring Fireball presents his case quite strongly. A good long read and this toward the end:
Second, publishing the name, photographs, and personal information of the Apple engineer who lost the phone is irrelevant to the story. It was the dick move to end all dick moves. Gizmodo is, ostensibly, a gadget site. The interest of their readers in this saga regards the phone. Publishing his name did not clarify in the least bit how they obtained the phone. The people whose identities I'd like to know are those who obtained and then sold the phone, not the guy from Apple who lost it. There is no interest served by outing him other than taking sociopathic glee in making a public spectacle of someone who made a very serious but honest mistake.
I think we've seen this whole case/story/kerfuffle become something of a blind men and the elephant situation. A lot of people I've talked to take the same perspective as my wife does, which is "Oh that poor guy! What a mess!"
I've seen friends on Facebook take a kind of pleasure in what they see as a giant (Apple) being taken down a few notches by human imperfection. Curious that Apple, the alt brand, is now seen as just as much of a monolith as Microsoft used to be. A few folks I've heard are happy to see a blog get away with something sneaky.
The one point of view I've seen very little of is discussion of the device itself. "Front facing camera? Separate volume buttons? Yeah, well, whatever. But what kind of beer was the guy drinking that night?!" I wonder if Apple as an idea is bigger than any idea they create.
by John Moe // Posted: 04/21/10 05:21 PM
Apple's iPhone business, which didn't exist three years ago, now represents a whopping 40% of the company's revenue, and has been the company's biggest revenue generator for three quarters in a row.
$5.4 billion in annual revenue with 124% growth over last year. Holy smokes.

Okay, so go to this page on IMDB. See if you notice anything.
There's a little "Like" button there. Click it and Facebook will know you like that movie (and everyone should like that movie). This information gets stored and now Facebook knows more about you. This is new as of today.
While Zuckerberg and company point out that now they can make the web a more social and personal experience for you, let's remember for a moment how they pay their bills: ads. So let's say you're in the business of selling DVDs and you want to sell some copies of Anvil: The Story of Anvil and you don't have a huge ad budget. But through Facebook you can reach people who said, on IMDB, that they liked Spinal Tap. If your ad reaches just those people, well, that's a good investment, right?
I'm pretty sure I told Facebook I liked Spinal Tap years ago when I filled out my profile. Haven't thought about it since. Have barely touched my profile on Facebook since. But as I'm out on the internet maybe I'm trying to remember some quote from Fantastic Mr. Fox, I go to IMDB's page on it, click "Like", and now Facebook can target advertising toward me just a little more narrowly, getting a better idea of what I might buy, and making that information available to advertisers at a pretty nice rate.
All the while, of course, it all goes on the Facebook hard drive. Facebook is no longer being about a place you go, it's about recording everywhere you go.
Teens text. A lot. Who knew?
Posted: 04/20/10 12:43 PM

The secret new iPhone
Posted: 04/19/10 11:48 AM
If you haven't already heard, Gizmodo seems to have stumbled across a prototype of the upcoming new version of the iPhone.
I guess I'm less interested in the new different features of the phone (front facing camera with flash, volume buttons, higher resolution screen, flat and not rounded) than I am about the explosion of interest that this has caused. It's one of the top trending items on Twitter, it's being buzzed about in every blog, it's huge.
I don't want to dismiss anyone's enthusiasm or mock them, not at all. Smartphones are interesting and important both as contemporary tools and as indicators to the future of society and the way it communicates. And the way this thing came into the hands of Gizmodo is straight up Jason Bourne.
But it still seems strange to me to geek out so hard on a new version of something that already exists. I mean, it's a little Navin Johnson "the new phone book's here!", right?
Then again, isn't that most tech stories? Something changes incrementally, new features are added or reworked, the camera has a flash, the iPad has 3G, the cordless phone has no cord, the computer doesn't need vacuum tubes. I guess the new iPhone is huge news and the front facing camera is great news for Chatroulette fans but I'm not sure my mind is completely blown.

Posted: 03/30/10 03:39 PM
That's not me responding to news, that's just me using the terms in the news. Facebook will soon do away with the option of Becoming A Fan and replace it with simply deciding to Like something. This will also be defaulted to publicly available information. Remember: Facebook wants to be a publishing tool and not a series of cloistered accounts. That way their content (meaning the content created by users) becomes more ubiquitous and more monetized through ads. Follow the money.

What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

Prospect theory for stock markets: Empirical evidence with time-series data
AbstractBased on the loss aversion model of asset pricing, this paper explores empirical evidence on the prospect theory for stock markets with time-series data. The analysis, using a state-space model, shows that previous gains and losses may have asymmetric effects on investment behavior, pointing to the possibility of break-even effects ignored by asset-pricing models using prospect theory.

Children of the Land, by Glen H. Elder, Jr., and Rand D. Conger, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2000. ISBN: 0226202666.
This book asks whether traditional observations about farm families – strong intergenerational ties, productive roles for youth in work and social leadership, dedicated parents, and a network of positive engagement in church, school, and community life – apply to 300 Iowa children who have grown up with some ties to the land, in contrast to 150 children from nonfarm households. Born in the late 70s, these children grew up during the agricultural crisis of the 80s amid farm bankruptcies. The authors followed these young people from the 7th grade through high school graduation, and found that youth with ties to the land were remarkably successful, both academically and socially. And their accomplishments continued into the post-high school years, as they pursued further education, entered the labor force, and started families of their own.
The book is based on data from the
Iowa Youth and Families Project.
American families and young people continue to leave agriculture as they have over past decades. A century ago, most Americans had ties to the land through their own lives and those of immediate kin. Now only one in fifty is engaged in farming and little more than a fourth live in rural communities. Exodus from the land is not new, as the famous photographer Dorothea Lange once observed, but it represents one of the great social movements of our age. It is also symptomatic of an unparalleled transformation of society and of who we are.
The loss of farming families represents an economic cost to local communities. But perhaps more importantly, their departure threatens the social fabric that makes communities a desirable place in which to live. In the American Midwest, these families commonly assemble to achieve shared goals, whether a stronger school system or improved roads. They provide leadership and resources. Farm parents and children do more activities together, both in the family and in the community, than do members of urban generations. Farm children may also be counted on to a greater extent than other young people; they are more involved in activities that families value and rely upon. Out of such environments come the disciplines for a successful life.
In Children of the Land, we ask whether these observations apply to over 300 Iowa children who have grown up in families that have some tie to the land — such as full-time or part-time farming to some experience in farming, and farm-reared. Over 120 children had no farm experience and thus form a comparison group. We examined whether "family ties to the land" increased the developmental competencies of the young (in academic success, peer relations, self-confidence, the avoidance of trouble) through related experiences, such as shared activities and mutual support between parents and children, strong family ties to kin and community institutions, the productive roles of children, and their social involvement in both school and community.
In the rich farming country of north central Iowa, we followed these children's lives from the seventh grade to the post-high school decisions of education, work, and family. The seventh graders were indeed "Children of Hard Times," a generation of the agricultural crisis of the 1980s. They were born at the end of rural prosperity, in the 1970s, and grew up amidst farm bankruptcies, the closing down of industries and commercial establishments in their communities. A large number were under heavy economic stress as they left grade school. Despite such adversities, a good many children seemed to fare well by the time they entered high school, especially children with farm origins.
In high school, these young people tended to be successful in academics and in social relationships. Apart from other considerations, their success continued into the post-high school years. They were most likely to be enrolled in four-year colleges. This success has much to do with the distinctive life style of Iowa families that have connections to the land. They tended to establish resourceful pathways to adulthood through strong intergenerational ties to parents and grandparents, productive roles for youth in work and social leadership, parental and youth engagement in community life, and the developmental social activities of young people in school and church. For most members of this generation, life opportunities will take them to cities, both near and far. Few will enter farming, and yet the agrarian culture of families has prepared most young people for the challenges of their future, wherever they may be.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Jockey Javier Castellano broke the record for most wins during a Gulfstream meet Saturday when he won his 98th race of the season.
Castellano set the record aboard Repenter in the first race on the 72nd day of the meet. He shared the mark of 97 with Jerry Bailey (1996 over 64 days), Wigberto Ramos (1991 over 81 days) and Julio Pezua (1987 over 50 days).
Seven of Castellano's 98 victories during the 2011-2012 Gulfstream season have come in stakes races, notably the Holy Bull aboard Algorithms.
Castellano, a prominent rider on the New York-Gulfstream circuit, won the 2006 Preakness Stakes with Bernardini and rode his 3,000th winner earlier this winter. He began riding in Venezuela in 1996 before coming to the U.S. the next year.

John Edwards' Mistress Rielle Hunter Speaks
Today, John Edwards admitted he is the father of Rielle Hunter's baby. Rielle spoke with Extra about their "inspirational" relationship.
Over the past year, there's been much speculation over whether or not John Edwards was the father of Rielle Hunter's baby. Today, the former senator finally confirmed that the rumors are indeed true.
Extra got the inside scoop on Rielle and John's relationship from Rielle herself. In 2007, she said: "He was very real and authentic. He was inspirational to me." They met randomly in a bar and she "hoped the videos [she produced for his campaign] would help change Edwards' image." Though she spent lots of time with Edwards and even accompanied him on a trip to Africa, Hunter then claimed the affair allegations to be "trash, full of lies, not true, completely unfounded and ridiculous."
There's a child that will grow up knowing his dad denied him. There are children growing up knowing dad lied, and hurt their mom. Affairs are just not worth it, whether you are in the public eye or John or Mary Doe.

Josh Kornbluth: Good for Andy Warhol's Jews?
It would be tough to find a funnier guy in Berkeley than Josh Kornbluth.
I've been a fan of the moon-faced, wide-eyed, hair-challenged monologist, who has perfected the art of the raised eyebrow for maximum comic effect, since his early days at The Marsh in San Francisco. (An aside: This ex-citysider is so glad The Marsh had no problem crossing the bridge, unlike some people she knows.)
Kornbluth has made a career out of chronicling much of his life on the stage in his frequently hilarious and often thought-provoking solo shows. We first meet him during his childhood in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood, where he is raised by Marxist, atheists (Red Diaper Baby). Then it's on to college (The Mathematics of Change), temp work (Haiku Tunnel) and a stint as an editor (Pumping Copy), a personal favorite. Berkeleysiders familiar with his work may recall that the city features prominently in the recent Citizen Josh.
Now, Kornbluth is in the middle of a run of his latest production Andy Warhol: Good For The Jews? His first commissioned show, The Contemporary Jewish Museum of San Francisco asked him to ruminate on the series of portraits depicting the likes of Einstein, Kafka, and the Marx Brothers by the iconic artist.
It's his fourth collaboration with director David Dower, who joined forces with the writer-comedian on Ben Franklin: Unplugged, Love & Taxes, and Citizen Josh. The two have also worked on film versions of Haiku Tunnel and Red Diaper Baby. … Continue reading »
From the ashes of Comic Relief, a new store is set to rise
The news that iconic store Comic Relief was closing came as a shock to many, most notably the comics-loving community, but it seems a knight in shining armor may yet save the day.

Jam maker turns hobby into thriving local business
Dafna Kory discovered the delights of jalapeňo jam during pre-dinner nibbles at a Thanksgiving gathering. She went out to buy a jar, couldn't find the mighty spicy condiment anywhere, so she began experimenting with making her own. It became an instant hit among her posse.
At first, the self-taught preserver thought her D.I.Y. hobby would just make nice gifts for friends and family. The she moved from San Francisco to South Berkeley, saw the abundance of plums, apples, and lemons growing in her new backyard, and a jamming business was born.
Kory foraged fruit in a hyper-local fashion. She made batches of jam in her home kitchen. She personally delivered by bike. Demand for her jams grew by word-of-mouth.
Friends who had friends who owned stores began encouraging her to branch out beyond her inner circle. So she started shopping INNA jam (the name is, indeed, a playful pun) to places like Local 123, Summer Kitchen, Rick and Ann's Restaurant and The Gardener.
About a year ago, with orders coming in a steady stream, it became clear that Kory, now 28, needed to either gear up and focus on turning her after-hours pastime into a fully fledged business or scale back and remain a hobbyist. She decided to take the plunge.
A freelance commercial video editor, Kory hasn't looked back. She began working in a commercial kitchen in North Berkeley, selling her pickles and preserves at events like ForageSF's Underground Market and the Eat Real Festival, and offering workshops for other D.I.Y.ers.
The UC Berkeley graduate now spends nine months of the year working full-time on her budding food business, and supplements her income in the winter months with editing gigs.
In a year, she hopes to devote 100% of her work day to INNA jam. Kory also pickles though that product line is on hiatus while she ratchets up production to meet demand for her increasingly popular jams. She delivers locally by bike, ships interstate, and offers an annual, seasonal subscription (a 10-ounce jar retails for $12). … Continue reading »

FishEyes Makes Fishing Fun And Productive
The sport of fishing requires a lot of patience and time. That's because once the line is thrown in, there is very little a fisherman can do, but wait and hope that a succulent Bass or Flounder will not only glide by, but also, take the bait.
Now, a new fishing rod manufactured by California-based NextSport takes the guesswork out of the process, by allowing fishermen to view the scenery after the line is tossed in. Dubbed FishEyes, it replaces the traditional fishing line with 20 feet of a combination of analog video and power cable. A small waterproof camera equipped with LED light attached to the bottom end transmits any underwater action to a monitor affixed to the top of the line.
To this hi-tech contraption, the fisherman can add fishing lure or bait basket to try entice the fish nearby or, if there are none, simply move to a more populated spot. The best part is, that FIshEyes is a fun gadget for even those who don't like to fish - kind of like scuba diving without going through the hassle!
While FishEyes, which retails at about $80USD can technically be used for fishing off a boat, there is a slight risk of losing the video camera should it get caught up in a rock or inadvertently cut off by a fish. But, given that it makes life so much easier and fun for those involved, it may be well worth taking the risk.

GREECE doesn't seem to understand so why not let them leave–they evidently don't have a backbone or they would have already took enought tough measures to ward off default
Germany is succeeding now in europe what they couldn't do during the second world war. Take over and dictate what happens to euro nations not through violence but with economic power.
Greece's failure is not good for Germany. The Greeks are unwilling to cede economic sovereignty to EU commission because they would give up the ability to curry political favor through favoritism, including government employees (sound familiar?).
This standoff can't last forever. It may be better to let Greece default to set an example.

Ehrlich's name-calling is no substitute for reasoned argument
A website gaining popularity among 20- and 30-somethings mostly features 1990s nostalgia pieces and "listicles" (short articles organized in the form of a list, e.g., "100 Ways to Have Fun"). Apparently it has been the inspiration for many of commentator Robert L. Ehrlich recent columns.

All those KILLINGS in Bungoma and Busia are POLITICAL .... Now KIMAIYO REVEALSNews 07:06
Last week Kimaiyo dispatched a group of high-ranking officers to the two counties to lead investigations into the killings. Among those who went are his two deputies Samuel Arachi and Grace Kaindi as well as CID director Ndegwa Muhoro.
Western Kenya has generally stayed violence free since the 1980s and 1990s when gangs like Angola Musumbiji, Sabaot Land Defence Force and February Eighteen Revolution Army terrorized villagers.
The recent attacks that have led to the deaths of eight people have been reminiscent of those past attacks. Villagers have reported that the attacks were carried out by groups of 15 or 30 men armed with crude weapons.
Police have not been able to pin a motive on the attacks since the attackers only seem interested in spilling blood. .
Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka and Senator Moses Wetang'ula have both called on the police to get to the bottom of the killings.
During the Labour Day celebrations last week, County Commissioner Jamleck Baruga is reported to have blamed the attacks on political figures saying people were asked who they voted for before they were slashed.
