FAIRBANKS, AK-Well some athletes came close or tied world records but on the final night of WEIO 2013 history was made. Tim Fields representing Noorvik, Alaska set a new world record in the Canadian style one-foot high kick event Saturday. In the Canadian style one foot high kick a competitor must jump in the air and touch the ball with their foot and come down with the same foot they kicked with.
Fields tied the world record of 9'8" in 2011. The record was set by Jesse Frankson back in 2004 but before Frankson the record of 9'6" was set back in 1986. Tonight Fields was focused and determined and look spry. He was kicking 9'4" with relative ease with two attempts. Nick Hansen placed second in the event.
The night belonged to Fields whose record setting kick of 9'9" is the new world record in the event. To put that in perspective a regulation NBA or college basketball hoop is 10 feet. So imagine Fields three inches shy of jumping up and kicking the rim of a hoop.
For the women's one-foot high kick it was once again Autumn Ridley winning the gold. Ridley was the only finalists to kick 87 inches successfully. Erica Meckel came in as the three time champion in the event but placed second. I talked to Meckel whose had a rough WEIO this year. She didn't get gold in any events. Meckel has gotten multiple golds in WEIO for the past six years. She told me that she just had an off year this year and wasn't feeling it. It may be a changing guard. Meckel placed second kicking 96 inches. Tahnee Esparza was third successfully kicking 82 inches.
In the ear weight competition Kaktovik's James Lampe Jr. added another title to his mantle. Lampe went around the designated track 5 and half laps while carrying a 16 pound weight secured to his left ear. Lampe also won the ear pull and Muktuk (whale blubber) eating contest at this year's games as well. Ira Frankson was second making it four and a half laps around the track.
In the knuckle hop competition athletes had to get in pushup position on their knuckles and hop around a track made on the gym floor. The longest distance would win. Christian Paul out of Kipuk defended his knuckle hop title making it about 3/4 of a lap around the gym. Former champion Nick Hansen out of Unalakleet was third and Kyle Worl from Anchorage was second.
In men's blanket toss Palmer's David Thomas successfully defended his title in this event. Thomas landed three high back flips to secure the win. Forrest Strick from Wasilla was second and Charles Lampe of Kaktovik was third-a flip flop from a year ago.
The final event of the night was the four man carry and a Fairbanksan who had been trying for a few years finally won this event. Matthew Evans secured his first four man carry title by carrying four guys 184'9". It was just three inches shy of new world record. Greenland's Aputsiaq Hoy was second carrying 130'6 1/2" and Ravell Northway was third carrying 127'5".
To end the night and the games two select athletes were recognized. Hansen won this year's sportsmanship award and Ridley was named most outstanding athlete. Ridley, 17, from Anchorage, earned five golds in seven events and a silver medal. Ridley works at the Alaska Native Heritage Center where she demonstrates WEIO events. She trains year round.
Other event winners:
Greased Pole Walk: Men-1st Chris Warrior 64 1/4", 2nd Kyle Worl 45 1/4", 3rd Calvin Bell 43 1/2". Women-1st Victoria Treder 35 3/4", 2nd Eric Meckel 22 1/2", 3rd Amber Glenzel 22"
Women's Blanket Toss: Marjorie Tahbone 1st, Autumn Ridley 2nd, Krystie Lincoln 3rd
Seal Skinning- 1st Mary Kakoona-2:45, 2nd Diane Dufour 4:48, 3rd Helga Nielsen 5:55
Arm Pull: Men-Chris Jerue 1st, Apustiaq Hoy 2nd, Mikkel Anderson 3rd. Women-Nicole Johnston 1st, Noel Strick 2nd, Annette Donaldson 3rd.

Frontios Actor Peter Gilmore Dies
Doctor Who guest star and acclaimed actor Peter Gilmore has passed away aged 81.
Although he was best known for his portrayal of the rugged, steadfast Captain James Onedin in Cyril Abraham's The Onedin Line, Gilmore was introduced to a whole new generation of viewers when he took on the role of Brazen, the security chief of the human colony Frontios in the 1984 serial of the same name – where in keeping with his heroic persona, he sacrificed himself in order for the Doctor escape.
Gilmore died in London on 3 February 2013, survived by his wife and a son, Jason, from his first marriage. You can read a full obituary at Cult Britannia.
3 Responses to Frontios Actor Peter Gilmore Dies
A sad fact I have heard is that with Peter Gilmore's passing, there are now no stories from 1963-89 in which the full cast are still alive

On mobile to say 3 very important things:
1. I got Pokemon Y about 2 weeks ago. Anyway, that's not the actual important part, what it really is was that I went on wonder trade sent a crappy Luvidisc and I got a Charmander in it's place, I can't contain my happiness.
2. Broken laptop update! It will be completely fixed by (suposedly) next week MY COMEBACK IS SOON.
3. If you're not Brazillian, please refrain making fun of our population. Yes, that match was ridiculous and humiliating and even I laughed during some point, but seriously, most of us are really sad and dead inside. The match was a joke, but we brazilians are not. We already face a lot of problems and now we were humiliated in one of the unique things we are proud of.
Please, watch out for what you're joking about.
Anyway, congratulations to Germany! A more prepared team deserves the win.
4. Okay I now I said 3 things but seriously, does any of you want to trade a Haunter for… another Haunter? I just want a Gengar SO BAD…
Also, if someone wants, let's be friends in there and trade friend codes! Hit me on my askbox, I'll see the ask in my e-mail and send you another ask as a answer :D
Hi guys, I'm back just to warn you of two things:
1. No matter how desperate you are, do not try to enter on tumblr on your 3DS. Do not.
2. Don't watch Doki Doki Precure.
That's all. Thank you for your attention and have a wonderful day :D
For those wondering where I have been these days: Our laptop is facing a lot of problems (and so am I), so it's been really difficult to stay here.
I'll be back as soon as I can tho.
tumblr didn't ruin my life i was already a loser before i joined this website
Finally finished that Junko print! Will be available Fanime. At last, I've done some DR fan art…. ;u; Now I just need to get my hands on a Vita and play it instead of reading it.
me leaving your party
i can't wait for my grandchildren to wish they lived in the era of beyoncé
The related headlines placed directly below the tweet really bring it all home.
why do people say "yassssssssssssssssssss"

Why Read This ReportNorth American IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) executives and their teams often ask Forrester for private cloud adoption data to inform their cloud strategy and compare their progress with their peers' progress. This report showcases the following North American private cloud data: 1) adoption relative to other deployment types; 2) adoption by country; 3) adoption relative to previous years; 4) cloudwashing prevalence in the US; and 5) most popular private cloud vendors. The data in this report is powered by Forrester's Forrsights Hardware Survey, Q3 2013, which was fielded to 1,473 IT executives and technology decision-makers in North America. I&O executives should use this data — along with Forrester's cloud computing playbook — to discover, plan, act, and optimize on private cloud.

Twelfth Night
And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves.
Eleven's Hour is over now. The clock is striking Twelve's.
It's the final day of festivities and trees throughout the land are coming down. Despite all the lights being relegated to lofts and garages, we're more than halfway out of the dark. And in typical Twelfth Night fashion, there's a party going on at K Towers.
The caretakers are having an evening off, there are some rock-n-roll-type teen girls screeching around the corridors and an even-screechier redhead is looking for the swimming pool.
Also in typical Twelfth Night fashion, all the guys are dressed up as gals: it was Andy's idea; Mez has been rehearsing for the past eight months, and Alex has, unfortunately, yet to project his clothes hologram onto our visual cortexes. Meanwhile, K editor, Christian Cawley is doing his best Malvolio impression (you should see his tights), Nick is flicking his hair back and forth so much Will Smith's daughter would be envious, and Becky is dressed as Captain Jack Harkness. Nobody asked her to do so, but you don't argue with Becky.
But in amongst the joys of the Drunk Giraffe, it's time to reflect. Twelfth Night isn't just a time and place and relative dimension to look forward to, appropriately, the Twelfth Doctor; we have to look towards the past.
An era has come to a close and a new one beckons.
Retreating to a quiet corner, unhindered by Brian's – shudder – twerking, where the lights are low and "I Can't Decide" plays in the distance, we have to consider the past year.
2013 was good. The 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, and everyone's favourite show took over telly. Quite apart from the ground-breaking Day of the Doctor special, screened in 3D across cinemas worldwide, we had An Adventure in Space and Time, which brought a tear to the eye of many as David Bradley (playing William Hartnell playing the Doctor) grabbed hold of the mantelpiece and admitted, "I don't want to go." Soon after, even glass eyes began watering profusely as the First Doctor gazed across the TARDIS console to see the Eleventh Doctor.
We've also had The Science of Doctor Who, with Professor Brian Cox explaining how Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS is actually scientifically correct. Then there was Matthew Sweet's excellent overview, You, Me, and Doctor Who. Plus all the radio specials! And the official Celebration! And the merchandise!
And Series 7! Let's not forget the evil excellence of the Great Intelligence, the Old God, Skaldak, the Crooked Man, the Time Zombies, Mrs. Gillyflower and her 'sweet' husband, and those dastardly Cybermen.
Hopefully, Kasterborous has guided you along the way, like any trusty companion. Over the past fortnight, we've been throwing a plethora of features at you, covering many-an-era, but over the past twelve months, we've given you thousands of articles. This is all down to our brilliant contributors, be them currently twerking, scribbling 'Pex Lives' on a wall, or misquoting "some are born great…"
But it's also down to you, faithful reader. Thanks for sticking with us. You just wait for what we've got in store for you in 2014.
So on this Twelfth Night, take a moment or two to reflect on how the Doctor Who universe has, like the Great Intelligence, expanded, but also what we have lost.
Yes, 2013 was good. Not everything was great though. You know what I'm talking about.
And this is when our collective bow ties get just a bit too tight. We're looking forward to Autumn and a new face for that ancient Time Lord. But here's a tip of the fez, of the Stetson, of the tricorn to Matt Smith. We will always remember when the Doctor was you.
Thank you, Raggedy Man.
We let our bow ties fall to the floor, and sadly saunter into the night, as the music plays on.
3 Responses to Twelfth Night
Another change of Dr another era fade's into Dr who history. Now a long wait till the 12th appears and we hear the familiar sound of the tardis once more. With sorrow in our hearts that matt has gone but an exciting feeling in your heart or hearts depending on the fob watch of what will the new Dr will bring to the show. And what will he wear,I myself will miss matt smith as I have missed all the other Dr's over the years as they are memorys from some part of my life. Matt smith I will remember this part always. I salute you.
Series 8 Premiere should DEFINETLY be called Twelfth Night!

The United States Tennis Association announced Monday that professional tennis is coming back to Joplin.
The one year absence was due to damage incurred by last years tornado that forced the cancellation of the USTA Pro Circuit Men's Futures Tournament.
"The USTA Pro Circuit is 90 developmental profession tennis events and we need communities like Joplin who are willing to support our initiatives to grow the next American champion," says USTA Pro Circuit Director Brian Earley.
In honor of the tournament's return Joplin Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean declared July 16-22 as "Tennis Week" in Joplin.

An example of the kinds of thought processes I have while perusing the not-so-Good Book.
Profile picture of girl with several positive captions ("you're so pretty!" "stop being so cute!" etc). Second to last caption: "beautiful!". Last caption: "beautiful smile :)"
Thought 1: Ouch. Guess her smile is the only thing you think is beautiful *****.
Thought 2: Didn't they live together this year?
Thought 3: I wonder if she purposefully mirrored that sentence syntax…
Thought 4: Wow, if she didn't so it on purpose, the subconscious tone really reveals a lot about their friendship (…or lack thereof! )
Thought 5, after considering the content of Thought 4: Who am I?
I'm intensely jealous of the next generation who will have something like Facebook for their whole lives. They will have the conversational history with the people in their lives all the way back to the beginning: From "hey nice to meet you" to "do you want to get coffee sometime" to "our kids have soccer practice at 6 pm tonight." That's a really cool idea.
This is a quote from the Facebook Blog and to be quite honest, I'm not entirely sure I want Facebook for the rest of my life. After a certain point, shouldn't we all grow out of it? Eventually I feel it will probably become too dangerous: the mind is meant to forget. Memories fading is a coping method for the painful or embarrassing ones. If your grief never numbed to a tolerable degree, you'd spend every day reliving that pain. There is nothing "cool" about being reminded how socially awkward you might have been at age 15 or being able to relive the awful words someone might have once said to you.

All I'm saying is, I liked it when I could list the things I liked without having them boxed up, linked to a page on the topic, and then consummately displayed with that weird orb shape next to it.
Why? It was more minimalist and it made listing your interests a worthwhile endeavor.
I honestly want to just delete all the data connected to my facebook because the info page is so gosh darn busy looking.
Yeah FB, I realize you're on a quest to categorize and link the world. Does that mean you have to make it hulking, awkward, and ugly looking too?
Didn't think so…

Fun Fact: Your FB Friendships are Comparable to Super Mario (or other video game of choice)
Sounds ridiculous right? But hear out the metaphor.
For the sake of consistency let's say the game I'm referring to is Super Mario 64. The overarching theme is to collect all of the stars. I believe there were something like 200 total in the game. To collect them all would mean you'd completed 100% of the game. You could still win though without being so thorough. Obviously you're trying to rescue Peach by ultimately defeating Bowser in the hardest-to-reach level. You don't have to get alll the stars to obtain access to that level though; let's say it requires 170 to open. So then technically you could achieve the goal of the story line without getting the full 100% of stars. Then of course you could be the apathetic gamer who doesn't really care that much about winning but perhaps simply wants to have access to all or some of the different levels. This is the more ambiguous range because you could be anywhere from 15 to 100. Last, there's the fledgling who has just begun and only has 2 or 3 stars to their name.
Here comes the comparison: on Facebook the people you know the best are the ones whose profiles you have almost if not complete access to. They're your 100%, I beat the game and surpassed all obstacles kind of friends. Chances are you have a really high count of mutual friends, which means that your ability to see tagged photos is exponentially higher. You won't be closed out to the tagged photos in albums made private to friends only, nor will you be shut out from "View Tagged Photos of _______" in the first place. Close friends linger somewhere in that 170 star range after which things tend to get sticky. You start getting limited profile status (aka apathetic gamer level). Tagged photos aren't an option, you can only browse their prof pics, and maybe you're not given access to all their albums. This is the range you'd expect for close casuals, members of a club you're not all that enthusiastic about, or people you're looking to limit (the kids you babysat, their parents, the random former teacher, vindictive exes). Finally, there's the tell-tale "We probably shouldn't be friends since we've met exactly once, but I'm hoping to glean some valuable information from this friend request/acceptance". You've just started the game with them, meaning you have the annoying limitation of 1.5 mutual friends and access to exactly 2 photos out of the 1,476 they've allegedly been tagged in.
Better start logging some hours if they're worth beating-the-game status…

she should call the police ASAPActually, she needs to call a separate department (in Texas, I would call the county sheriff or the Department of Public Safety, aka State Police) to investigate, who will work with the Internal Affairs department of your godson's mother's brother's employer.
Our godson's mother is at the ER. She's shaky, shocked, in pain, but walking. My partner is helping her deal with some small-business continuity issues. We plan to have her and our godson stay at our house tonight. I don't know how long they'll be staying. At some point we will arrange for her locks to be changed at her home.posted by mathowie at 2:05 PM on September 13, 2010
I don't know how our godson's mother will prioritize the legal stuff. I personally hope it'll happen as soon as possible, but since she's the person she is, it's likely that some keeping-the-small-business-going issues will take priority. I will try to keep her on track with the legal stuff and thanks to SpecialK I found the proper Internal Affairs contacts for our city.
We will do whatever else we can to support her. Thank you to those of you who have responded. If you have any other ideas, please let us know.
Our godson's mother stayed the night with us. We are putting new locks on her doors (on us). I will arrange for that today. Her son stayed with a friend who's babysat him before. The night was quiet and safe (we made sure with our alarm system and secure locks).posted by jessamyn at 7:32 AM on September 14, 2010
Debriefing last night included not only a glimpse into what our godson's mother characterizes as "the family craziness" but more details on the assault. This assault is part of a pattern and all three of us agreed that her brother shouldn't be in law enforcement given these acts of rage and violence. Our godson's mother is going to pursue this issue with Internal Affairs, but is also looking into a community review board. She knows that ideally the best case for reporting the problem would have been to have Internal Affairs meet her in the ER, but she will do what she can with the guidance she has. The very good news is that she's always kept extremely good records and has good recall of events even through the lens of traumatic experiences.
The elder in question actually took her brother's side when 911 showed up last night so the police who responded dismissed our godson's mother's complaint and report. Given that she's relied on our godson's mother for care, food, medicine for the past few years, it seems odd that the elder would want to stay instead with out godson's mother's brother, but perhaps she finds the care too restrictive. Apparently the elder left with the brother last night and our godson's mother has pledged to keep it that way - she doesn't need the hassle and having the elder essentially encourage the beating she received is going too far.
Anyway, our godson's mother plans to file a restraining order (with the help of a lawyer) and make a complaint at least with Internal Affairs if not also the Community Review Board, and I plan to contact my locksmith and have them install secure locks of my choosing on our godson's mother's doors, as well as have them advise me and our godson's mother on additional security measures they'd recommend. My partner and I may both go forward assisting our godson's mother in straightening this all out. As she says, "It sure does cost a lot of money to be poor."
Thank you all for your help and advice.

Kitchen #16: Dave & Jenn's Command Central
Name: Dave & Jenn
Location: Near Columbia U., NYC
Favorite Kitchen Stores
22 West 21st Street (Flatiron Building)
(make an appointment - seems to be mostly for designers. Best display
of faucets, sinks and basins you can imagine. Be sure to check out the
$5,000 japanese toilet in their public bathroom.)
(this place teems with character and quality. Feels like you are
walking through cookware history)
Our kitchen does a good job of combining living space with effective food space.
Our computer sits at the breakfast counter, so we check scores, email, blogs as we drink our coffee. It controls all the music in the apartment, so it, along with the chalkboard above the stove, is the information center of our home. But all the wood and old furniture keeps it from feeling geeky.
Before making any changes, we lived in the space for about two years and continually discussed where everything should ultimately go, and that resulted in good design decisions....
3 Compelling kitchen cooking/design tips:
chefs along with surprisingly interesting interviews about the design decisions that the chefs made when they chose the design for their home kitchens. Tom Douglas's kitchen is especially rocking.
Pitch Cont'd
...All our kitchen tools hang ready to be grabbed - like a mechanic's shop. Magnetic strips behind the counter keep knives at hand. Hanging pots and pans to the top, left of the counter are easy to reach and cook with.
We built a food pantry that slides out next to the fridge to gain storage space, and built a matching bookshelf above the fridge to keep cookbooks handy. The canvas "bag for bags" to the right of the cabinets holds Fairway grocery bags for our trash.
Little design decisions that keep these things at hand without cluttering our space has meant more in day to day living than any big decisions we've made about what appliances to buy and such.
Tips Cont'd
from www.sketchup.com You'll be able to sketch out ideas for cabinets, counters, bookshelves, furniture arrangements and the like very quickly. The process helps you to communicate your ideas with others (your partner, your coop board...) and justify them to yourself.
14 Comments
Just a quickie because I don't have much time to comment but I Luuuurve Sketchup! Not only does it do what it says it does on the box (well, if there was one it would) but it is one of the most intuitive pieces of software ever created!
Thanks for the top on Sketchup - I'll check it out.
I think your kitchen appears very functional for what limited space/appliances you have. But I bet non-NYers will think it is almost more of a kitchenette than a full kitchen. Is limited counter space a problem?
Hi... thanks for sharing your kitchen (I'm a big fan of the computer in the kitchen tip!). Can I ask you about the sketchup program -- did you just use their free trial? Or did you actually buy the thing ($475). I'd love to hear more about how you used it.
I want to put a rug in my kitchen. Do you find that it's hard to keep clean?
For such a tiny amount of space, I would have put up more kitchen/wall cabinets. The hanging pots, while handy, are too cluttered for me. I don't necessarily want to look at my stuff all the time. Ditto for the open shelf and the pantry.
I would have cut the stainless-steel fridge and spent more money on cabinets.
Also, when you have limited space -- go UP! Stack those shelves to the ceiling, baby! You're not using a lot of space there.
I appreciate that a fair amount of thought went into this kitchen and that resulted in some great details like the pantry next to the fridge. But somehow the end result still feels kind of haphazard to me. Nice ingredients that for some reason don't add up to a whole.
The layout seems really awkward to me, but I can't quite figure out where the pieces are in relation to each other from the two pictures... I agree that you have to live and settle into a place before you start buying things, especially in a small space.
I've experienced this space in transition and completed, and it's definitely underrepresented in these photos.
Awesome job in creating a cozy space in what others would just see as an apartment hallway...
The chalkboard looks awesome. I would be afraid of chaldust in the food and oil spatters on the slate. Do you find either of these to be problems?
Great use of space and materials.Awesome pull-out shelves next to refrigerator and nice bookshelf above.
Of all the entries you gave the best tips by far. I would love to see a more closeup picture of your hanging pots as I need to do this in my very very very small kitchen.
I cannot see what is to the left of your stove. Do you have enough counter space?
Is the pantry on rollers? I am so intrigued. Thanks for sharing your kitchen!
This kitchen is amazing. I saw it when Jenn and Dave bought the place. Should have had a before picture- It was gross! It is very convenient to work in. Pictures do not show how great it is. Food storage cabinet next to refrigerator is beautiful andconvenient.
nice kitchen. i'm looking for a bottom freezer fridge in stainless like yours. who makes it? i have a height problem...most models are too tall.
What a convenience to have the computer in your kitchen!
Fantastic fridge!
Love that storage space next to it!

If you're thinking about getting some firewood for the winter, beware, because there could be a pest hiding in the bark.
The emerald ash borer is a small, metallic-green beetle that burrows into ash trees, causing them to starve and eventually die.
Cutting a tree into firewood doesn't kill the beetle and people can unknowingly transport them hundreds of miles.
The best approach is to not move firewood from your property, and if you buy it, know where you're getting it.
"It is a problem. It is going to head this way. It's over in Bloomington County at this point. And so it is really not a if it's going to get here, but a when it's going to get here," Horticulture Educator Kari Houle said.
Before spring, be sure to burn your remaining supply of firewood to eliminate the chance of spreading any beetle larvae.

You might remember that a while ago, Drupal was promoted to the 'Visionaries' category in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Social Software in the Workplace. For someone unfamiliar with all the social software vendors and projects, the choice can be overwhelming and Gartner's reports can carry a lot of weight in the decision making process. Drupal's promotion to the 'Visionaries' category was a big win for all of us.
I have a pretty big update for you: we just launched Drupal Gardens into private beta. Since the first public Drupal Gardens demo at DrupalCon Paris, a lot of progress has been made. Today, we sent private beta invites to the first people that signed up to be beta testers, and if things go well, we'll send out a couple thousand more invitations over the next few weeks.
I am very excited to announce our first webinar for Drupal Gardens Beta. On Thursday, January 28th at 1 pm EST, Acquia will be demonstrating Drupal Gardens and walking through the major features of Gardens. Drupal Gardens is a hosted version of Drupal 7 designed for any organization wanting to build social sites easily and quickly, backed up by the power of Drupal. Building microsites for launching a new product, a campaign or event, or forming a community site has never been this easy in Drupal. Drupal Gardens highlights:
NVidia recently launched their new Tegra developer community on Drupal. See http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra. The announcement of the latest Tegra 2 chipset was one of the major news items at CES earlier this month.
Red Hat just launched OpenSource.com on Drupal. The site will focus on exploring what happens when the open source way is applied to the world, beyond technology. The site has 5 main channels: business, education, government, law, and life. In each channel, they'll explore how open source is having an impact on each of those areas. The content is meant to be very conversational and participatory, making Drupal a natural choice.
Social networking true believers use words like engagement, responsibility, and transparency that smack of the Internet's hippie days in the late 1990s, yet social networking has proved to be much more than a passing fancy. The exploding numbers associated with the most popular sites like Facebook and Twitter inspire awe in even the most jaded statisticians. Time spent on social networks increased 277% in the United States last year, according to media research firm Nielsen, and Twitter itself grew more than 500%.
Now the social media category is primed to emerge as the most significant business enabler since the Internet itself. Organizations must ask themselves seven important questions about their plans for leveraging social networking over the next 12 months. Their answers may spell the difference between success and failure in the coming decade.
Among the many open source projects on the upswing is Drupal, a content management system written in PHP; Drupal has attracted a lot of attention from developers and mindshare among end users. This week, when Drupal 7 was about to go into Alpha test, I spoke with Dries Buytaert, creator of Drupal and also the founder of the Drupal services company, Acquia. We discussed several topics, from community building to Drupal's role in e-government to lessons that other open source communities can learn from Drupal's success.
Acquia launches new 'Social Publishing for Open Government' program to help agencies meet requirements of Open Government DirectiveCompany hires VP of Business Development to lead efforts
The explicit purpose of the Open Government Directive (OGD) is to improve citizen interaction and engagement. Realizing the intentions behind the Directive will require significant web site innovation for many departments and agencies. Join us for this comprehensive workshop that showcases how and why Open Source content management tools such as Drupal are being quickly adopted across U.S.
I was so proud of what our team accomplished in 2009 that I wrote a couple of different versions of our accomplishments. I posted one last week. However, after thinking about it some more, I was so excited by specific achievements, that I decided to post this version as well, which lists many of them.
We offer many tools and services to help you succeed with Drupal, learn more and get started for free.

"This play needs competition."
The Monterey shale already ranks as the largest U.S. oil-shale play, said Tim Marquez, founder, chairman and chief executive of Venoco Inc., speaking at Hart Energy Publishing's DUO conference in Denver. "It has 300 billion barrels of oil in place."
Marquez was first presenter in a pair of operating companies spotlighting California's Monterey Shale. Venoco is a pure California company, and it has a major program under way in the shale. This year, it will spend $48 million on exploration and exploitation in the onshore Monterey, among other activities. It will drill at least 10 wells in the shale, acquire 3-D seismic and continue lease acquisition. Next year, it will ramp drilling up to between 30 and 50 wells.
Venoco started work in the onshore Monterey in 2006; it already owned and operated substantial Monterey assets offshore California. "The offshore has had fairly extensive exploration and development, but surprisingly very little exploration has been done onshore."
The company now holds 105,000 undeveloped acres in the onshore play and 50,000 held-by-production acres. Two main areas of interest are the Salinas and San Joaquin valleys. "We are delineating and optimizing in all Monterey basins," said Marquez. "On Venoco's leases, we have over 10 billion barrels of oil in place."
Venoco drilled three onshore Monterey wells in the first quarter 2010; its last vertical well logged 1,500 feet of net prospective pay. "We have a discovery in the testing phase," said Marquez. "We're very confident we have a very nice play on our hands."
Western Energy Production LLC, a privately held California-based E&P, holds some 30,000 net acres in the Monterey Shale play in Kern County, said managing director Steven Marshall, the second spotlight presenter.
Remarkably, for such a powerhouse producing state, California can be considered lightly explored, he said. "Common knowledge has generally impeded deeper drilling."
Western sees the strong production history of the Monterey shale as a guide to its future. Numerous fields in the southern San Joaquin Basin produce from the Monterey, including Lost Hills, Belridge, Rose, North Shafter and Elk Hills. Marshall estimated Monterey shale production at some 75,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day from the San Joaquin alone.
Western has focused its shale efforts on the eastern flank of the basin, between Lost Hills to the west and Rose and North Shafter fields to the east. It likes the area because the shale there is quite siliceous and underexplored. Most previous drilling has focused on the Stevens and underlying sands.
"We continue to grow our acreage as the play evolves," said Marshall. The company is now transitioning from land acquisition to exploration and drilling, and it is currently looking at joint venture and partnering opportunities.
"This play needs competition. It's been landlocked for a long time, and a lot of people didn't have their exploration hats on."

Thank you Liza. I learned more about how to use Twitter to market my business in 60 minutes from your presentation than I've learned in the last month on my own. You are amazing.
By Randy Hufford, January 16, 2010 @ 6:55 pm
WOW!!! Liza this program rocks!!! I learned so much about Twitter and encouraged me to use this Powerful tool daily. You made it fun, educational and easy to understand. My biggest take away was to make my profile very personal even though I use it for business. Thank You!!
By Becky Hufford, January 16, 2010 @ 7:04 pm
Java Gym is a powerful learning experience. Liza, I really appreciate your expertise on Twitter. You helped me by breaking down so many things about Twitter I didn't understand and put it all in plain english. It made me feel empowered. I especially liked the idea of making my name be my handle and making my profile personal even though I use it for business. You totally rock!
By Pam Kamoku, January 17, 2010 @ 9:06 am
Liza, mahalo for the talk you gave at Java Gym. I immediately applied what you said and "tweeted" last nite as you know I appreciate your expertise just like Becky said and it was also nice to meet other Maui business people in the same boat as me. Social Network marketing can be hard to figure out on your own, but you did break it down and make it easy to understand. Aloha and hope to hear from you again. Tweet, Tweet.
By Darbee Fisher, January 17, 2010 @ 10:38 am
Liza, You're enthusiasm for social media is contagious! I really appreciated how well organized you were with your hand out for the one hour java gym. You kept us on track within the specified time frame and it was fun! I took away many new tips about Twitter and how it works with other social media.

Developing original series for Microsoft has taken a little longer than veteran TV executive Nancy Tellem had hoped, but her first slate of shows will launch on the Xbox videogame consoles early next year. "We're hoping we will be able to put something up in the first quarter, at minimum second quarter," said Tellem, president of entertainment and digital for Microsoft, at Variety's Dealmakers Breakfast at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. "I'm incredibly ambitious and impatient," said Tellem, who took the job to produce original content for the Xbox platform in 2012. Because of that, the time it's taken to develop the first slate of series, including a high-profile project based around "Halo," with Steven Spielberg producing, has been "slower," but "reflecting on what we've done and what lies ahead, it's been pretty good." Tellem was attracted to joining Microsoft after spending years at CBS and the CW, ...Read More →

Q: Is it normal for my ferrets to never be in that "dead sleep" stage? I want to make sure they're getting the rest they need.
A: That's a good question. It is not unusual for pets, especially ferrets, to have different sleep patterns that are unique to that particular animal, the same as it is in people. And the amount of sleep and the deepness of sleep may change over the life of the ferret.
If a ferret were actually not sleeping enough, you would see a change in your ferret's behavior during the day. Your ferret might sleep more, might seem tired or might be lethargic. Of course, when we see a ferret that appears tired during the day, the first thing we consider is insulinoma disease but giving your veterinarian a detailed history might help your veterinarian determine if this is a problem with sleep or a metabolic disease like insulinoma.

Dr. Richard Gilbert of Hodgenville was recently found guilty of tax evasion in a Louisville court. I can't think of a family more moral and upstanding than the Gilberts. They're the modern equivalent of The Waltons meets Little House On The Prairie. How could someone so moral and honest to a fault be convicted of tax evasion? His fault and folly was standing on principle and speaking truth to power. The questions he asked the IRS and later posed in court can be distilled to form one simple question. Could you please show me the law that requires me to pay these taxes?
Come 6 p.m. Monday in LaRue County High School's auditorium, several adults will be rewarded for their initiative, perseverance and hard work in gaining their GED.
"General Education Development is the nationally recognized high school equivalency test," said Sarah Hornback, director of family services who coordinates the program.
Check for lice
4-H campers are required to have a lice check conducted before attending camp. The lice check will be 10:30 a.m.-noon June 28 at the Extension Service office.

Revelation 10:1-7 discusses the mighty angel with the little book. The seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered and do not write them.
In these verses, the seven thunders are not revealed.
Revelation 10:8-11: John eats the little book.
A Hodgenville woman died Saturday of an apparent accidental drowning.
Deborah K. Pendleton Dever, 45, was found unconscious in an outdoor swimming pool about 4 p.m., according to LaRue County Deputy Coroner Wesley Warren.
Dever was home alone at the residence off Campbellsville Road, Warren said. Her husband of almost 25 years, Jimmy, found her in the pool when he got home from work.
LaRue County Ambulance Service and Buffalo Fire and Rescue were dispatched to the scene, according to E-911 records.

Problems come to everyone. The Apostle Peter said, "Don't be surprised when you have problems." Jesus said, "In this world you will have tribulation." We don't know when they may come. For example, you don't plan a flat tire. Trials come in all shapes and sizes.
Along with the joys of summertime outdoor activities comes the not-so-joyful likelihood of encountering mosquitoes. While we can't control the entire outdoors, there are control measures that help eliminate potential breeding sites that provide the quiet, non-flowing water these bothersome pests need to develop.

If you detect errors or omissions, kindly advise. It is also important to note that the Unicode Technical Committee responded to a formal request for their opinion that Sharp-S and Final Sigma should be PVALID On the basis of this information, I think we have rough consensus in the IDNABIS Working Group that Sharp-S and Final Sigma should be made PVALID. The consensus call did not refer to the joiner/non-joiners and I continue to believe that the WG has long since concluded these should stay in CONTEXTJ With regard to transition, there is considerable diversity among the WG as to preferences. In an absolute sense, the specification of a protocol (the set of proposed RFCs developed during IDNABIS WG effort) is independent of its introduction, so it might be argued that the WG does not need to specify an adoption or transition plan. As a practical matter, of course, something has to happen for the results to get into use. Perhaps a small step forward would be for the editor of Rationale to make reference to the need for operators (I use this term in its most general sense to include registries, registrars, makers of software that rely on the DNS, etc) to assess their adoption plans in the context of an environment that includes a mix of IDNA2003 and IDNA2008 "speakers" for a period of time likely to be measurable in years. I will try to produce a possible transition synthesis drawn from various suggestions in the WG discussion on transition - however, that will take another couple of days as I am tied up with all-day meetings today and tomorrow. This message, however, is intended to convey to the WG and the AD that the chair believes we have rough consensus on making Sharp-S and Final Sigma PVALID in IDNA2008.

Functionality added or changed:
Write memory allocation information to error log when doing
mysqladmin debug. This works only on
systems that support the
mallinfo() call
(like newer Linux systems).
Added the following new server variables to allow more
precise memory allocation:
transaction_alloc_block_size, and
mysqlbinlog now reads option files. To
make this work one must now specify
--read-from-remote-server when reading
binary logs from a MySQL server. (Note that using a remote
server is deprecated and may disappear in future
mysqlbinlog versions).
SIGPIPE signals also for
non-threaded programs. The blocking is moved from
mysql_init() to
mysql_server_init(), which is
automatically called on the first call to
--libs_r and
--include options to
`> prompt for
mysql. This prompt is similar to the
'> and
prompts, but indicates that an identifier quoted with
backticks was begun on an earlier line and the closing
backtick has not yet been seen.
mysql_install_db to be able to
use the local machine's IP address instead of the host name
when building the initial grant tables if
skip-name-resolve has been specified.
This option can be helpful on FreeBSD to avoid thread-safety
problems with the FreeBSD resolver libraries. (Thanks to
Jeremy Zawodny for the patch.)
A documentation change: Added a note that when backing up a
slave, it is necessary also to back up the
master.info and
relay-log.info files, as well as any
SQL_LOAD-* files located in the
directory specified by the
--slave-load-tmpdir option. All these files
are needed when the slave resumes replication after you
restore the slave's data.
Bugs fixed:
Fixed a spurious error
ERROR 14: Can't change size
of file (Errcode: 2) on Windows in
FROM table_name without a
clause or
TRUNCATE TABLE table_name, when
table_name is a
table. (Bug#1397)
Fixed a bug that resulted in
thr_alarm queue is
full warnings after increasing the
max_connections variable with
SET GLOBAL. (Bug#1435)
LOCK TABLES to work when
Lock_tables_priv is granted on the
database level and
Select_priv is granted
on the table level.
Fixed crash of
FLUSH QUERY CACHE on
queries that use same table several times (Bug#988).
Fixed core dump bug when setting an enum system variable
(such as
SQL_WARNINGS) to
Extended the default timeout value for Windows clients from
30 seconds to 1 year. (The timeout that was added in MySQL
4.0.15 was way too short). This fixes a bug that caused
ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during
query for queries that lasted longer than 30
seconds, if the client didn't specify a limit with
mysql_options(). Users of 4.0.15 on
Windows should upgrade to avoid this problem.
More ``out of memory'' checking in range optimizer.
Fixed and documented a problem when setting and using a user
variable within the same
statement. (Bug#1194).
Fixed bug in overrun check for
values with compressed tables. This was a bug introduced in
4.0.14. It caused MySQL to regard some correct tables
BLOB values as corrupted. (Bug#770, Bug#1304, and maybe Bug#1295)
SHOW GRANTS showed
USAGE instead of the real column-level
privileges when no table-level privileges were given.
When copying a database from the master,
FROM MASTER dropped the corresponding database on
the slave, thus erroneously dropping tables that had no
counterpart on the master and tables that may have been
excluded from replication using
replicate-*-table rules. Now
LOAD DATA FROM MASTER no longer drops the
database. Instead, it drops only the tables that have a
counterpart on the master and that match the
replicate-*-table rules.
replicate-*-db rules can still be used to
include or exclude a database as a whole from
DATA FROM MASTER. A database will also be included
or excluded as a whole if there are some rules like
replicate-wild-do-table=db1.% or
replicate-wild-ignore-table=db1.%, as is
already the case for
CREATE DATABASE and
DROP DATABASE in replication. (Bug#1248)
Fixed a bug where
mysqlbinlog crashed
with a segmentation fault when used with the
-h or
--host option.
Fixed a bug where
mysqlbinlog crashed
with a segmentation fault when used on a binary log
containing only final events for
DATA. (Bug#1340)
Fixed compilation problem when compiling with OpenSSL 0.9.7
with disabled old DES support (If
OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT option
was enabled).
Fixed a bug when two (or more) MySQL servers were running on
the same machine, and they were both slaves, and at least
one of them was replicating some
INFILE command from its master. The bug was that
one slave MySQL server sometimes deleted the
SQL_LOAD-* files (used for replication
LOAD DATA INFILE and located in the
slave-load-tmpdir directory, which
defaults to
tmpdir) belonging to the
other slave MySQL server of this machine, if these slaves
had the same
slave-load-tmpdir directory.
When that happened, the other slave could not replicate
LOAD DATA INFILE and complained about not
being able to open some
SQL_LOAD-* file.
LOAD DATA INFILE failed for a small
file, the master forgot to write a marker (a
Delete_file event) in its binary log, so
the slave could not delete 2 files
SQL_LOAD-*.info and
SQL_LOAD-*.data from its
tmpdir. (Bug#1391)
On Windows, the slave forgot to delete a
SQL_LOAD-*.info file from
tmpdir after successfully replicating a
LOAD DATA INFILE command. (Bug#1392)
When a connection terminates, MySQL writes
TEMPORARY TABLE statements to the binary log for
all temporary tables which the connection had not
explicitely dropped. MySQL forgot to backquote the database
and table names in the statement. (Bug#1345)
On some 64-bit machines (some HP-UX and Solaris machines), a slave installed with the 64-bit MySQL binary could not connect to its master (it connected to itself instead). (Bug#1256, Bug#1381)
Code was introduced in MySQL 4.0.15 for the slave to detect that the master had died while writing a transaction to its binary log. This code reported an error in a legal situation: When the slave I/O thread was stopped while copying a transaction to the relay log, the slave SQL thread would later pretend that it found an unfinished transaction. (Bug#1475)

When anyone thinks about Australia, and any of the many miles of beaches, the pictures that usually come to mind are sea life, surfing and sand dunes. Going to Tea Gardens in Port Stephens is no exception to this idyllic vision, and it has many inlets and bays for the family to explore. It also offers a whole range of holiday accommodation for just about any budget too, and this is what makes it the ideal place to go off to and have some fun.
One of the most exciting things to do anywhere in the world is to swim out and see the dolphins. Those who are not so energetic can get on a charter boat and take along a camera to snap these adorable creatures frolicking in the surf.
Or, take a visit to Tilligerry Nature Reserve to see some of the indigenous animals that reside there. The Tour and Koala Discovery takes about one and a half hours and is ideal for families who want to get away from the beach for a while. There are demonstrations of what the Worimi people did with herbal plants and visitors can try their hands at identifying plant life while learning about the local European history. Indeed, the reserve has a coastal forest and wetlands too and is open every day. The kids will love trying their hand at boomerang throwing too, and lessons are given to those who are interested.
Don't imagine anyone will be left reading a book or watching TV in the holiday home at Tea Gardens. There really is something for everyone.
In the Boat Harbour, keep a lookout for those migrating giants, the whales. Since there are approximately nine thousand Humpbacks which pass here during the winter months, there is a very good chance of spotting one or two. There are charter boats which go out into the bay a get closer look at these magnificent creatures and no one will ever forget the first time they see that iconic tail flip out of the water.
People who like more peaceful pursuits will spot many places, along the scenic walk to Morna Point, where they can cast off and try their hand at catching lunch or supper. Land a big one, or even a clutch of smaller ones and impress the family with your grilling skills back at the holiday home barbie.
In spring, the place is vibrant with wild flowers and, if people take their time on this walk, they can watch the sun setting over the rocks, while those playful dolphins still play amongst the waves.
A more intense and exciting sport, of course, is deep sea fishing so, for the avid enthusiast, a trip out into the vast ocean is a great way to see the land from an ocean vantage point. The crew will usually clean the catch ready for that barbecue.
There are so many things to do here that it is hard to name all of the places to see and experience something different. From parasailing to shipwreck tours and from long sunset walks for the romantic to horse riding among the dunes, this is a delightful corner of Australia that needs a lot of exploring!
Winter runs from around May to November and this is the ideal time to see those huge whales mentioned earlier. This is also the time when the weather is cooler so, for those who don't like too much heat, it really is the best time to visit. Christmas to March sees the hottest months.
Accommodation in Tea Gardens and the surrounding areas is very varied since this is a real tropical paradise for tourists. Families usually like to have something a little more private, like a serviced apartment with a pool or a rental holiday home so that they can just be free. However, there are many world class hotels offering accommodation too so it is really down to personal taste and budgets.
Flying out of Heathrow is the simplest way to get to Australia. Sydney is the destination airport and Port Stephens is around two and a half hours by car. Tourists are advised to book up as much as they can from the UK, like excursion tickets and accommodation etc, plus car hire or transfers, to make it easier for the family when they arrive tired from the trip.

Everyone love that question. I think they — it's just like how can you make it as frictionless as possible and especially now that we have the Meta Display, our consumers are staying on the site longer, and they're able to find out the price and availability. Is that the next logical step to allow them just to complete their transaction right on the site? It may be, at some point in time. We are — we really like our position as a community that's providing the research to the consumer. We like offering them choice so that they can — they might have loyalty points at 1 OTA or 1 chain and having — cutting them quick off to complete their booking is important to them so that they can utilize those loyalty points. I also — I think, from an economic standpoint, unless TripAdvisor was to become an OTA and actually have a global sales force that goes and signs up all of the hotels and takes that piece of the transaction versus what Kayak does and white label one of the OTAs and kind of limit some of the choice. I don't think the economics are significant and we have to weigh that against the consumer experience, which is really one of the very important and probably the most important aspect for us.

Diners in downtown Lynchburg have one less place to eat.
Catalano's Delicatessen is closing Friday. The announcement was made on social media Thursday night, to the surprise of many customers.
Marisa Catalano-Jones, one of the restaurant's co-owners, declined to discuss the closing at length Friday. She said she wants to "bow out quietly," but mentioned that she's suffering from "a lot of debt."
Catalano's opened two years ago in a newly renovated building on Main Street.
